_ZJrvtTADO4	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZJrvtTADO4	My Pet Zebra Talks About Patterns .m4v	pick hello my grade one students today I want to introduce you to someone really special this is my pet zebra a close-up photograph of him you don't believe me what's what's wrong oh maybe I put in the wrong photograph maybe this is the right photograph of my zebra hm my zebra and I love to talk about patterns he loves patterns so much that he can look down on his bedroom floor and he can get excited about this brick pattern and why does he get excited because he can move and it's equal he can move and it's equal he can move in a different direction as well and it'll be equal see you can move again it's equal well one day a very sad thing happened to my zebra a water man broke under his bedroom floor and look what happened oh no it's a disaster his beautiful pattern was destroyed from order we've gone to chaos and it even got worse because some of the some of them broke oh but you know what my zebra got over it he gets over these things there's a picture of it my zebra got over these this by going out into nature and in nature he observes order all over the place and that that made him better and that night I took him out to an art gallery and we love going to art galleries because we can discuss about Order and Chaos and it's also always nice to have opposites we can discuss so the opposite of order is chaos which of these pictures is more orderly which one is more order and which one less well the one on the right has got more order because all of the squares are the same size the one of on the left is more chaotic because the squares are of different sizes here's another picture we can argue and have our own opinion about which of these is more ordered and which one is more chaotic my zebra loves a one on the right because he sees dark pink light pink dark pink light pink but I like the one on the right because it reminds me of four fingers pointing in this direction four fingers pointing in this direction so we disagree both of us like circles and on the left we have a little circle embedded in a bigger circle and a bigger circle and a bigger Circle and bigger Circle my zebra loves that too and we also like circles repeating on like on the one on the right in that grid so my zebra has a lot of friends that he loves to disc patterns with one friend that turned into an enemy really quickly was this bee who landed on my zebra's nose and he started to talk and he said I've got just as much pattern as you do and the zebra said what are you talking about and the Ze and the little bee said look my left side is equal to my right side it's perfectly equal and the zebra said I don't think so there's something wrong nobody can be that perfect and the zebra was right because this was a real picture of the bee and you see his left side isn't quite equal to his right side it's nearly equal but you know what I think the right wing is a little bit longer don't you here's another one of my zebra's friends it's a spider and let's look close up I love that Symmetry and I think my zebra does too look at all those eyes and here's a fly now is a good time I think to go and create your own uh bug and I think you should draw a ladybug and you can choose as many dots as you like on each side of the ladybug but you want to make the left equal to the right not all creatures uh agree with the zebra on pattern and one of the ones that disagrees the most is this little CRA this little crab he's a fiddler crab and fiddler crabs have got one side of that one arm bigger than the other oh my gosh he really doesn't think left should be equal to right he thinks the right should be really big and the left should be itsy bitsy but even the fiddler crab has to admit that there's beautiful patterns on his Beach as he scuttles across it after the tide has gone out humans also have got a lot of symmetry here's a woman from a country called Iran and this woman look at her face there's something funny about it isn't there well you know what nobody is perfectly symmetric and this woman isn't either this is what she really looks like so this is the left is equal to right and this is left is nearly equal to right sometimes you'll you'll see a reflection in a lake and that reflection is not perfect here it looks perfect but that's too good to be true here's the real the real picture and you can see that up is nearly equal to down but not quite one day my zebra was walking by the shore and he made a new friend it was a starfish and the starfish said look at me my left is equal to my right nearly but even more than that watch this watch what I can do I can do a pouette five times I can turn around are you ready here we go 1 2 3 4 5 and each time that I turn I'm about the same and the zebra thought that this was really neat and he asked do you have any brothers and sisters any cousins yes I do and here was one of them and the zebra said I think that you can turn around too and do a pero at as well am I right and this star son said yes I can but I can do it eight times watch me you ready go 1 2 3 4 5 6 seven eight wow said the zebra that is special do you have any other cousins that can do even more well we've got a lazy cousin but he he doesn't want to do any movement he's he's too lazy but look at that he's got 13 arms wow said the zebra that's a lot of arms these starfish really like um these circle patterns whenever they go to the art gallery these are from Jared Tarbell look at them close up look at that order is there also chaos there hm I wonder MC aser has got to be the mathematician's favorite artist of all and the starfish love him as well too because he specializes in a lot of symmetries look at this one now do you think that these snakes brag about left is equal to right do you think so well let's let's see let's see if left is equal to right uhoh it's not see the Tails they curve around in a different direction whenever we whenever they go left to right so no left is not equal to right here H but you know what the snakes do brag about they brag about their ability to turn around watch this you see they turned around they did kind of a parette okay close your eyes everybody okay did I move the snakes open your eyes did I move the snakes no I didn't okay close your eyes again open them okay did I move the snakes that time that time I did so you see very difficult to tell if I've moved the snakes or not because there's so much order here yeah let's see what we could do why don't we think about a way to turn this rotational symmetry into a different type of symmetry we could go to the parking lot and we could look at a wheel yeah maybe we'll bring some paint and we'll bring some paper and we will paint the tire and then roll it over maybe get a parent to drive their car over the paper you shouldn't try driving of course because grade one students uh probably aren't tall enough to look out the windshield let your parents drive and see what patterns result it might look something like this on the paper H well MC aser loved this type of pattern too mathematicians call it translational symmetry but that's we don't need to use those big words we can just say uh okay let's push the dogs forward oh that's they're hard to push forward let's try it again okay uh close your eyes okay did I push them forward no I didn't let's try it again I saw somebody peeking can't do that okay so uh yeah these These dogs um can be pushed forward and mcer loved creating this type of symmetry these really rich order now our zebra is going to talk about walking in the garden one day in his dreams and this was a flower that he saw in his dreams and I think we're going to call that zooming symmetry but whenever he went out to his real Garden he didn't see this instead he saw something much more complex and less obvious what is it well what these flowers are exhibiting is something called I don't know what we should call it maybe we should call it spiral symmetry see because there's spirals that that go in here yeah may be spiral Symmetry and whenever we we rotate and zoom it's a same do you want to try it again okay rotate and zoom and it's the same yeah so the zebra was very impressed with this kind of symmetry he he didn't really understand it and and uh but he he loves he doesn't have to understand things all the time to enjoy how I beautiful they look so what has the zebra talked about today well uh first of all he's talked about uh the importance of having two different sets of words one to describe something that's ordered another to describe something that's chaotic those are my two favorite words but you can choose any words that you want as long as they lie on different sides of the spectrum uh he also talked about the importance of opinion you should have opinion about which of these um you like more which one has got more order why it has order where the order is where's there where is there chaos um and also to to discuss with your other students um about your your your opinions what I really like to do is I like to set up these textures by Patrick Hosley on the Blackboard and to say okay we'll put the most ordered ones on the left and the most chaotic ones on the right okay let's let's make a line and the students can organize them as they see fit and disagree with each other we also looked at Left Right symmetry turning around or rotational symmetry again the words here I don't find words that important this is a math class not an English class movement uh symmetry or translational Symmetry and then we talked about some zooming symmetry I hope you enjoyed it and the zebra certainly did bye-bye	Gordon

I have three um uh children who all went through the Hadley School System for most of their lives um and uh I also happen to be on the school committee but my role here at Hadley learns is as regular uh parent uh student learner alongside other Hadley folks wanting to understand more about equity and Justice related issues I'm gonna pass the mic over to Will will would you mind introducing yourself hi folks I'm wealth in our I am a grad student at UMass I moved to Hadley uh almost three years ago now and I've been a part of this wonderful groups uh ever since then uh yeah really excited to hear what y'all uh I have to say tonight and and excited to see what you put together thanks will uh moving next to Sarah [Music] turn my camera on for a few minutes anyway it'd be great yeah um yeah I'm a member of the Dei committee and I've been doing Hadley learns for I guess a little over a year maybe is it a year or two I can't yeah it might be two or three if like yeah if it feels if it feels like it was a year it was probably two years except that it was maybe three or four I don't know um yeah because I joined the diversity Committee in the during the pandemic and Hadley learns during the pandemic when everything was on Zoom I think so yeah 2020 so three years it's been really cool doing both and and yeah learning a lot and meeting people that helped me feel like I'm not a weirdo and yeah and getting to know other people that are they're interested in and working on these all these different issues that all interlock with each other so any little piece of it that you're doing is worthwhile and good so yeah thank you Sarah thanks I'm gonna pass the mic over to Michelle Michelle I know you're at work but would love an intro to who you are as well um hi um I've been going to Hadley learn for what a year and a half or I I don't know how long I've lived in Hadley for 33 years almost and I was just thrilled to have an organization that's talking about these issues and also connecting me to many more people in Hadley than I had might have met in my usual round usual Circle so I'm very appreciative of the group you're so appreciative of you thank you um passing the mic over to my colleague Mara Breen who um alongside Tony Lynn and I just a lot of the organizing related things Rocky it looks as though uh I'm sorry she's just logging on real quick um yeah she'll be on in like two seconds okay awesome until then okay maybe you could share a few words about your um your mom about my mom yeah uh well my mom she's Mara Breen um she's lived in Hadley for almost 16 years now um because yeah they moved here 11 days before I was born which I think is pretty sick um I don't know she has two kids including me um both of which well Ada went through the Hadley School System I'm going through the Hadley School System um I don't know what do people not know about her she's a she's a professor of like cognitive neuroscience at Over Yonder at Mount Holyoke College that's fine I'm sorry what do people not know about my mom football coach extraordinaire oh yeah yep she coaches softball she also um is the leader of My Girl Scout Troop and was also the leader of my older sister's Girl Scout Troop that's that's cool um she's she's a real Community person I guess I would say yeah yeah um I don't know I feel like that's that's that's all I got that was wonderful thank you and just in time Mara Rocky did an amazing job of introducing you but what might you add to that sincerely apologize no worries at all yeah no um I've been I've been a part of the group for about yeah for three years and I'm so excited to have all um you young people to join us this evening thank you so much for taking the time awesome all right I'm gonna pass the mic over to you Pema and then I wonder if you could introduce yourself and then pass the mic over to each colleague and then take us into the presentation sure so I'm pemma um I've lived in Hadley and I've been a part of the Hadley school system for my entire life um I've been in diversity Club since ninth grade and I'm now the president um and we've been working on this project since during quarantine and kind of adding on to it each year and now this year we're finally going to be presenting it here um and I will pass like over to Lucy hi uh I'm Lucy Howard I've also lived in Hadley my whole life um I've been in the diversity Club pretty much same as Pema my entire time at Hopkins Academy um yeah and now I will pass the mic to Sarah hi I'm Sarah Wright I've lived here since sixth grade um I've been in diversity Club since ninth grade and I'm the media specialist so I run the Instagram past Mike taraki um hi I'm Rocky if you didn't catch it I'm Mara's kid um I have also lived in Hadley my entire life big surprise um I'm a freshman at Hopkins and I do public relations for diversity Club um and I've been in diversity Club I guess since last year so two years now going strong um Al pasta the mic to Mr Emerson Thorpe hi I'm Emerson Thorpe I've been in the Hadley School System for one year and diversity club for since the beginning of the year I'll pass to sarum hi my name is sarum I'm a freshman I've also been in the Hadley Public School System my entire life I've only joined diversity Club this year actually and I don't really do anything in particular I just kind of um help I guess in general I don't know who else the person might do I think back to Pema so I think we have one more person did we hear from Alber um hi I'm Paul verz I'm in eighth grade and I've been in diversity club for like a year now wonderful so nice to meet you all and so so glad that you reached out Pema on behalf of the team to present this important project to um to the Hadley learns Community I'm going to and and the Hadley community at large I'm going to make sure that you are a co-host so that you can share your screen and tell us a little bit about the inspiration for this uh project and take us through it um making you co-host right now terrific can you see the screen yep so this is our presentation on xinjiang the Chinese internment camps of the 21st Century we started this as I said before in quarantine when this issue was kind of coming to light and we were hearing a lot of it a lot about it in the media and um not as not so much in the news but more like through social media and we kind of wanted to bring more attention to it to through the school and just to the school community so we brought up this issue and we started working on the presentation and like researching and um obviously because of quarantine we weren't able to work on it as much so throughout the next year and this year we've been adding on to it and and I think that's been even better almost because now obviously it's still happening but there's way less coverage and way less attention on it so we're sort of still extending that um that information so basically over everything there's been two million people that have been detained according to the U.S state department and that's kind of crazy considering we are barely hearing about it anymore but there are two million people as part of these internment camps um and part of our presentation we're going to be talking about first the terms to know then we're going to be kind of describing the camps themselves um talking about what the Chinese government themselves says is happening we're going to be talking explaining why this is occurring um talking about the treatment within the camps how do we know that this is all occurring and more evidence behind that the world's response companies using forced labor and we're going to be making some connect some connections um to pass historical events and to now and I'm talking about the you the recent un report that came out um earlier fall this year foreign and I think um which I remember was going to talk about this I'm just gonna pass it off to you okay this is not an order um so over 50 companies are using internment these internment camps for labor and a lot of them are American this includes Abercrombie and Fitch Adidas Apple BMW Calvin Klein General Moto Motors Gap Jaguar LL Bean Skechers Volkswagen Victoria's Secret and um these are all companies that are majority of people use daily for example there's Acer written there I have an Acer computer um but whether it's the um h m shirt you're wearing or the Nike sneakers you have on you should care about how it came to be because these companies are taking advantage of the people in these internment camps these are wealthy and popular world-renowned companies that should be able to afford and provide correct working conditions for the people under [Music] um under their supervision and taking advantage of the people kept in Chinese internment camps is using slave labor for the company's benefit despite these companies having so much money in order to pay their employees um along with the bare minimum or free pay these people are forced into harsh working conditions as well um they live they are in cramped areas where they work where sickness can spread and especially because this um because of covid too you can also spread it even faster violence constant hours and surveillance um and they banned the religion are disciplines people face inside of factories that BBC described as a prison with barbed wire watchtowers cameras and a police station okay this is to me um in order to fully understand this issue some background information on the region is required in China um the CCP which is the Chinese Communist party is the only governing political party of the People's Republic of China and this party has widespread control over the country and is the second largest political party in the world um the uyghurs are a turkic ethnic group native to Northwest China and they are the ethnic minority um and religious minority and which is being targeted most uyghurs identify as Muslims and Islam is an Integra integral part of their cultural background um xinjiang is a Northwestern proverb province of China bordering Russia and Mongolia and it is mountainous with a fairly inhospitable landscape but is highly prized territory the populations of people that inhabit the region are diverse uh now that we know a bit about the region and the people that live here it's important to understand the foundational ideas that are affecting the people of the region and causing a humanitarian crisis um these internment camps are practicing re-education which is a practice designed to change someone's beliefs often against their will and due to their minority status the persecution of uyghur Muslims in these camps have taken the form of cynicization where whereby this group is pressured to abandon their own culture in favor of Chinese cultural norms language and identity this practice is called cultural Erasure or ethnocide it's the destruction of culture and in addition to ethnicide it's also genocide because human rights are being violated in an extreme way that isn't apparent the that the end goal is to destroy a defined group of people and the result is in the ex extermination of groups of human beings so these are two satellite photos of the camps that were taken about three years apart um as you can see they're the one on the left these are two satellite photos taken out sorry about that it was from 2015 and the one on the right is from 2018. it on three years later like a lot has changed there are large buildings guard towers um and when they looked closer at it they could see that it was that there were many Chinese officials um and it they called it like a mini City sprouting from the desert and bristling with cranes a row upon row of giant great buildings all of them four stories high so these kind of the Chinese government clearly wanted to build them really quickly and this was a very sudden thing oh this is a map of over 380 detention centers the Chinese government has spread out over China the Chinese government has made many claims about the events that are happening at first they repeatedly denied that they exist saying that their citizens have a high standard of life these were Preposterous allegations from foreign forces meant to smear their image the Chinese government that paid the camps for a vocational training centers which don't buy human rights as they teach people about Chinese culture and law now the Chinese government states that these camps are necessary and Justified as they stop religious extremism in terrorism president Xi Jinping of China stated East Turkestan terrorists who have received real war training in Syria and Africa could at any time launch terrorist attacks xinjiang foreign so why is this occurring part of what China is saying is that they are putting Muslims in these internment in these internment camps because the Muslim population in China especially the wakers are a threat the Chinese government is claiming that the weaker Muslims have ties with Islamic terrorist groups however these claims have very much been proved to be faulty because there have been very few ties found and not nearly enough to Warrant the rapid Mass internment of the Muslims in China and they framed this as kind of a domestic counterterrorism program despite little to no proof of the terrorist ties in question um the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the Chinese camps were locked up for partaking in peaceful religious and cultural practice so what does the evidence say well China's claims have contradicted evidence of what is occurring in these camps and to Muslims in general the Chinese government has put several bans and rules in place regarding waiver Muslims they've banned with your children from being named Muhammad blocked children from entering mosques prohibited where your government workers from fasting during Ramadan prohibited with your men from growing quote abnormally long beards and prohibited weaker women from wearing burcas in public their claim that they are putting weakers in internment camps because of the terrorism crisis is proved false by the fact that these rules and many of the others that are put in place by China are not at all related to threats of terrorism instead the exhibit islamophobia then what is the truth China's ulterior and true motive appears to be stamping out Islam they clearly want to achieve this as soon as possible as revealed by how they separate families without consent putting parents into camps and children into state-run facilities where they will be brought up the way the Chinese government wants this is not unexpected for the CCP as they've always been averse to religion as a whole they currently only allow certain branches of Christianity Islam Buddhism and taoism to exist in China under their strict control yet the Chinese government still targets these people who practice these religions the image on the right shows a Halal restaurant one of many in China that was forced to remove their Arabic and Islamic symbols they were told that this demonstrated foreign culture and you should use more Chinese culture this serves as evidence that China believes that culture that is not wholly Chinese subverts conformity it is clear that the Chinese government still sees religion quote as poison which was a quote and a core view of the ccp's founder malesville Roderick Y the former first secretary in Britain's Embassy in Beijing States the party has always had trouble with religion one way or another because often religious activity tends to imply some sort of organization once there are organizations the party is very keen to control them they do this because they see religious groups as foreign influences that undermine the total power of the government because a higher power is an authority that is not the CCP whether it be religious leaders or Gods so as a solution the government designed internment and labor camps for religious ethnic groups like Leaguers kazakhs Hui and Tibetans and these attack these camps attack the religion and culture of these groups both overtly and covertly through Through Torture displacement and re-education um we also learned and reported on the treatment within the camps for this presentation um the inhumane treatment in these prisons has been uh shown through photos and videos of prisoners being handcuffed to their beds um there was a video in which viewers can see a prisoner with swollen ankles and the only furniture that can be seen in the room is a metal bed frame which he is handcuffed to um even during the pandemic prisoners were forced together in extremely close quarters in unsanitary spaces uh quote I saw 50 to 60 people detained in a small room no bigger than 50 square meters men on the right women on the left foreign detainees in these camps have been forced to do hard labor and have new beliefs beliefs forced on them um one prisoner who was in the camp Oren Beck uh kozukbek stated that he was beaten then thrown into a hole and had freezing water poured on him and was so horrifically tortured that he eventually did attempt suicide prisoners in the camps have endured torture interrogations and educational information sessions designed to erode their beliefs and cultural ideas and the reports of torture coming from the camps have include electric batons and rape thank you the effects of these camps on women have been disproportionate as part of um the sort of campaign to eradicate uyghur Muslims has been a widespread birth control in the camps in 2018 a woman reported being forced to undergo an irreversible surgical sterilization where her Fallopian tubes were removed many women have been sterilized and different methods of birth control have been forced upon them as have abortions and some of the forced birth control methods have included rape because they've included forced IUD insertions okay so how do we know that this is occurring so as the result of a 403 Page Long document released in 2019 to the New York Times sorry we know that China had created the re-education camps furthermore in 2020 another source was shared with the New York Times this was a 139 Page Long spreadsheet that identified of ridiculously large number of people that had been held in indoctrination camps and additional information on these prisoners relatives so then we have the world's response so this sounds like a pretty major world issue doesn't it um but how has the world responded to these events so here is a quote from Vox um despite these reports of Human Rights abusers being committed against the uyghurs international responses to the crisis have lacked urgency the UK government has spoken out against the abuses and the U.S has imposed sanctions on China but widespread action has been absent including from Muslim majority countries by the numbers in July 2019 22 countries had issued a statement that called for an end to mass detentions in China however 37 countries have agreed with China and they're quote remarkable achievements in the field of Human Rights um you will see this data on the next slide the Associated Press argues that some countries are possibly benefiting from the forced labor in these camps and therefore would not be as inclined to condemn the actions however the United States and some other countries have since made it clear that they do not support the actions of the Chinese government and most recently in late March of 2021 the EU put the first sanction on China since the 1989 Tien sorry Tiananmen Square massacre with sanctions on four senior Chinese officials and the public Security Bureau the xinjiang production and construction Corps but if it's if it's been described as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world which it has why is there such a suspicious lack of media exposure even if the governments of these countries make statements legislations Etc citizens of them won't necessarily have access to information and ways to help the world's responsibility um as we have seen is to develop awareness for these humanitarian crises and allow for widespread action against them and again this slide shows the specific countries that condemn China versus supported China so obviously whenever there's a genocide happening we're gonna make it we're gonna connect it to the most famous genocide um the Holocaust and while this is between two different religious ethnic groups um you can see that it's both focused on religious persecution and it's based on former um sorry um it's based on the government thinking that they are better than this minority um these the uyghur Muslims like Jewish people during World War II were are being forced to work and are forbidden to practice their religion freely and um in a media sense America has had a similar reaction to both of these genocides um basically there wasn't a lot of media coverage on either um event specifically um there was little to no news about it like Emma said there's still no news about it even though it's been called like the biggest humanitarian crisis if the 21st century um while America is condemning the actions of China they haven't really done any action to actually help these people besides doing any sanctions and when you're automatically fighting the Germans during World War II that kind of is basically similar um and Americans are choosing to not get involved with the situation um whether that be because of political ties with China or even like economical ties because of all of the American companies that are benefiting off of this free labor and America doesn't want to tip the boat um similarly to how America refused to be of service in World War II until America American land was attacked at Pearl Harbor and because China is not doing anything that directly harms America or American citizens they're not going to take direct action yet um but should we make these connections between these two different times that humans have been horribly slaughtered um in her book a problem from Hell Samantha power former U.S Pastor to the United Nations asked how how much an atrocity had to resemble the Holocaust for reasonable people to feel that there's only so much genocide that they will accept um you can even see this in education where you've learned mostly you learn a lot about the Holocaust but there have been like decades and Decades of genocides that have happened since then but no one really talks about those um why can't we spread the opinion that there should be an end to all genocide no matter where it is or how many people are involved and why can't we simply act when we see that humans are in danger in August of 2022 the UN released a report on this situation and in the report the UN calls for China to release all wrongfully detained individuals as soon as possible the report also calls for the Chinese government to be investigated for international crimes and human rights abuses and the U.N High Commissioner for human rights said quote locations of patterns of torture and ill treatment including forced medical treatment and adverse living conditions of detention are credible as are individual accounts of sexual and gender-based violence the Chinese government responded to this saying that the claims were groundless and that people were not being detained in concentration camps but rather in learning facilities intended for de-radicalization so that was our presentation um we'd be happy to take questions I believe it's a q a now um and if you want to unmute and ask your question and any of us from the diversity Club can answer them first of all congratulations on an excellent presentation and bringing this outside of a regular school presentation and into the community in a way that is shared more broadly and in a lasting way um I uh I I knew about the the uh persecution of uyghurs in China but I did not realize the scale of it nor did I realize the length of time I I wonder uh in light of the you know what this is reminding me of is um in my youth uh apartheid in South Africa and the treatment of um uh and persecution of black people um in that country it was actually students people like you who raise the profile and boycotted some of the brand names and not like I think Coca-Cola was one of the biggest ones that I remember boycottage those companies and really you know spread the words that uh you know not not to consume and also put a lot of pressure on their academic institutions to divest from um any um current investments in those companies the list being so long I wonder if you are aware of any such efforts afoot and what are your thoughts about that strategy I believe the there's a youth leader Congress that is working on uh bringing attention to these issues and I think they have done things like that sort of pressuring people on pressure in China and trying to get people to put that economic pressure on them and I think that that's a really good idea because I kind of does have a lot of that economic power because of their relations with these major companies that are mostly based um in the West so I think that by cutting off by showing these companies that we don't want to buy their products if they are using forced labor they could listen to us indeed other questions from the community hi Michelle hi um if people are interested in um you know helping out or supporting people who are working on this cause what are the best places you know to hook in to the opposition to the oppression I have a friend who's very concerned about and I forgot to invite her tonight she's a Hadley resident but I'm sure she wants would love to know what she can do if there's anything she can do Michelle be sure to share with her the recording on the Hadley media website there will be a recording to to share but uh Pema and and colleagues um to Michelle's question where can people plug into action I would say um looking up different groups like I mentioned the leaker Congress as well as there's the periphery to that um and there are a lot of other groups that are in opposition to what's happening in China working and that are and that are working to um fight back against these issues and there are marches that go on protests um social media events things like that that you could during that sort of add to the masses uh for american-based institutions for this project the uyghur human rights project is uh it's based in Washington DC but I believe that they have the project is like available all over the country and they're mostly focused on like advocacy and spreading awareness I'm not sure exactly what sort of action they take um but that would probably be a good thing to research um thank you and one other little related question um I think I've seen these somewhere have you come across lists of which manufacturers to boycott and um it's also a good idea to write a letter to them also saying why you're not um patronizing them but do you want to just put that slide back up maybe yeah I was on Route and working so I couldn't see the slides I could just listen yeah of course all right so some of them were Abercrombie and Fitch Acer Adidas BMW um h m a lot of really high profile and really large companies are a part of this and yeah I think writing letters and sort of petitioning these groups would be definitely something that's helpful another thing to note is that some of these companies own other companies like I know that Nike is um the parent company to converse so you have to watch out for that because they have many companies that they might oh that definitely are using the same kind of Labor I think one company that I see on this list that it really breaks my heart is Apple and to know that the the explosion of uh economic Commerce that has come from Apple having the iPhone manufactured in China um has contributed to this we as a collective if we think of how many iPhone users there are how many MacBook users there are uh how many you know iTunes users there are we we really do have the ability to put pressure on Apple in that way um that's a that's a big one to consider as a a letter writing campaign um and you know targeting Apple Executives for um at conferences and asking questions about about their involvement here and why why they're not condoning it more harshly yeah absolutely and these are also billion dollar companies that absolutely have the resources to not be using free forced labor um and they can definitely afford to be moving their manufacturing to more ethical ways thank you for sharing that that slide again I think it's definitely worth punctuating just how complicit many American companies are and many of the brands that we love and use regularly other questions from the community yes Mara I'd be curious to hear more about um the uyghur Muslim culture and geography and you know what is that area like um yeah what's their history been if anyone can speak to that so looks like they're they're covering such a wide it's such a huge area of land and so I'm thinking what is the um what is the experience of um living there and then also thinking about the arbitrariness of country boundaries and so where are they culturally connected to the north and to the West the weaker Muslims are I believe Sunni Muslims um and they are from xinjiang which is like the kind of Northwest part of China um back in the day obviously that wasn't considered part of China but um now China's kind of absorbed that and has made them part of their territory partially definitely to use their resources and to take advantage of their people thank you so much foreign I'm trying to search for the name of the the restaurant that I went to it's kind of near New Haven and Bridgeport um but there I uh one day randomly chose a restaurant that was halfway between uh me here in Hadley and my parents in New York City and we met up um in that area and it turned out to be a a restaurant owned by uyghur Muslims um and um they had a huge mural of Marco Polo on the wall and told you know told us the history of Marco Polo coming through China at the around the location where the weakers live and they were serving authentic uyghur food which included food that looked like tortellini and tasted like tortellini and many other things that Marco Polo brought back to Italy um uh and and now we consider as Italian food um so I thought that was interesting the the food was delicious and the people were so gracious and I I will continue to search for the the name of that restaurant and highly recommend um anyone going and supporting them um could it be zaroka it wasn't it wasn't Soroka but um okay okay also out of um mute and look some let you know if I find something okay great um other questions for the students um I'm curious when that region was absorbed into China you know what is the history of that region I don't know if you guys uh went that far back in time in your investigations yeah we did exactly go back um until then but that is definitely something that's probably very important in the way that their ties are with China now so definitely we'll do more research on that um I've done a little bit of research on this um the uyghur people were mostly in about 10 no not sorry not about a thousand years ago um a little before the Mongol conquest they were uh migratory people in the north of China and after the Mongol conquest they became more settled um but they were there long enough like at least 800 years so long enough in a settled space that they developed a language that was distinct from um other forms of Turkish and they made even some like major changes to the Persian alphabet that they use it's distinct from other forms of that so they were originally uh nomadic but for centuries have been settled in the region other uh thoughts and questions for the students yeah I am I think you make an interesting point that it seems like a lot of uh the genocides that have happened uh somewhat recently have gone um I wouldn't say completely unnoticed but lesser noticed than they definitely deserve to be I'm wondering if you've read anything that that talks about kind of the warning signs of what we see in a government or in a regime before a genocide starts to happen and if there's anything that we can learn from that in terms of trying to figure out which places are at risk for this type of situation in the future um I haven't really done a lot of research but I um do know that it has to do with like specifically targeting a certain group of people um like with your own kind of opinion and then bringing the government into it and I know that um currently we're seeing that in America um with trans people and how it was not legal necessarily but it's been systematically brought into legality to um not treat them take away their rights for gender conforming health care and now it's um I know that it has to do with like just in general like getting a job um talking about it even is an issue so I know that that's the warning sides here at least um but that's that's pretty much it um I've looked into this a little bit I'm going to be a history major so I'm interested in it but um throughout history pretty much the number one factor that you can watch for when it comes to genocide or just like systematic oppression or violence against people in general is um the rights of criminals because essentially all that a government has to do in order to take because if so if criminals don't have rights then you just find a reason to criminalize a group of people you make some action that they do or some part of their culture somehow illegal you connect it to terrorism you connect it to some other problem that's happening in your country and you blame them on it or you blame it on them um and so that's the biggest uh warning sign I guess is militarization of law enforcement and emphasis on um I guess the criminal versus the common person and some warning signs might be like the stoking of fear um where you um where you vilify a whole group based on the actions of of a few and uh and and you know they're they're taking advantage of vilification of an islamophobia from actions that are predominantly in the Middle East I would say um and uh conflating that to you know have this cloak of legitimacy or perceived legitimacy can I add something to that yes I mean just historically very often vilification of a particular group is used to unify people when the government or whoever is in power if it's not you know uh King's Monarch or whatever um is not able to hold the whole together politically and it's it sort of it divides people from each other and it takes the focus off the oppressive system and onto a particular group of people we do see you know we've seen this in more modern times um even closer to home I would say vilifying people one of the biggest connections I see with the vilifying of a certain group of people is the Rwandan Genocide because that was a horrible tragedy that again wasn't really dealt with correctly and um it had to do with like um years of build up with their the civil war between the hutus and the Tutsis and then having like a radio show that was led by I can't remember which group but was led by a man that specifically made it so that he would put this idea into um the people's heads to make it so it's it's like us versus them kind of thing because um I can never remember which group was which but um because one of them was higher in the government than the other and they had more control or something like that and that's always the US versus them kind of issue with genocide probably the closest instance of something like this happening in our country or like close to home now um I would say would probably be the policies towards immigrants um and especially on the southern border which we're seeing heat up know that pandemic era policies are going away and there is a um there's concern and fear that the numbers of migrants arriving to our border will exponentially increase Biden just announced 1500 troops being sent to the Border this last week and new policies um so the New York Times the daily episode that was released today show some bright spots of What kinds of things there um they're they're going to do to manage that crisis but you know the fact is this is not going to stop climate change is creating pressure on economies in southern parts of the globe migration is going to happen with the drought and loss of economies and this pattern of human migration is going to continue um there there have to be more productive ways to manage the situation than um to vilify and to um to have this is a natural consequence any other uh thoughts or comments well I I never saw the visuals but this also reminds me of the um schools that Native American or American indigenous children were sent to and the Erasure you know deliberate eraser of the culture thank you Michelle that's uh and that's something that is in the public Consciousness as more recent news has uh revealed Mass Graves where remains are being surfaced and traced back to families um it's it's very much on the public Consciousness in in Canada and um yeah it reminds me of that as well so the Indian Child Welfare Act is uh looking like it's going to be overturned which would separate uh indigenous children from their families in North America I don't know much about that do you can you share um I believe that it was a fairly recent act I think it was passed like in the 20th century um and most of what I know about it has been from uh people my age who are indigenous posting about it on social media um and just asking people to write letters to Representatives or I guess vote for Representatives who would oppose it or who would oppose it being overturned um but I believe its purpose was to keep um Native American children within their communities um and to prevent family separation and that is uh going away I think bringing up the connection to the Native American boarding schools is really important because that idea of kind of getting them while they're young to sort of erase their culture from the root is something that China is doing and not just with the uyghurs they're doing that as well with the Tibetans there have been over a million Tibetan children that have been separated from their families in Tibet and put into boarding schools forcibly so that they forget their language and forget their culture and sort of assimilate them into the dominant Chinese culture uh the Indian Child Welfare act gave tribal governments jurisdiction over children who lived on reservations and uh it is not in Canada it's in the United States and if it is overturned that means that uh the state governments will have jurisdiction over indigenous children thank you for raising our awareness about that issue I had no idea Lucy can I add something about the um indigenous children's act right now if a family is not functioning well the effort is always to place the child with other Nate with another Native American Family preferably somebody related it could be more distantly related and what will happen now if it's um defeated is that children will be placed with families with no um who may not have any native cultural connections so the children will be deracinated in that case and there have been studies because a couple shows about this that the um Native children who are connected to their Community generally do much better than the children who are sent to um white families who have no ties to the community it sounds like if the law were to go away then the uh the typical U.S mechanisms of uh DCF Department of Center the Department of Children and Families or whatever it's called in your state would go into effect um and that's the that's the key uh difference I I can see how that would be of major concern um any suggestions on where a person can learn more about that Michelle you mentioned a movie I can't remember I listened to a lot um but I think you can easily research it yes very good thank you I just put a podcast in the chat I think this is the one that I listen to um it's it all comes back to a single case so it's a it's a really interesting exploration yeah thank you thank you for sharing that for those unable to see the chat but we'll see the recording afterwards uh search for this land podcast unravels complexity of child welfare in Indian Country in its second season um and in the award-winning podcast is called this land thank you for sharing that Mara and I did find the name of the restaurant it is called Marco Polo um and their website is Marco and Polo CT um I highly recommend you check it out the husband wife couple who own it are delightful and very knowledgeable very willing to share their knowledge well this has been a delightful evening I want to thank all the presenters um for sticking with this project through the pandemic bringing it to a um a presentation form finding a venue to present it and I urge you as young people to think about how you can continue to make a difference by continuing to spread awareness and getting involved in activism you're more powerful than you know and I'm eager to stay in touch with what you go on to do um with this with this knowledge as well as any other things you're passionate about know that you have supporters back here at home and you can always call on us for that support we really believe in you and we're excited to see where you take this thank you for being willing to collaborate with us and for giving us the opportunity to spread this information beyond our school it was a pleasure thank you guys so much thank you all right excellent well I urge you I guess in closing I will say that Hadley learns is

welcome to all the fabulous designers Conor will introduce everybody and I will rejoin the conversation in just a second sure thing welcome everyone and thank you for joining us I'll introduce the designers in the order that I sort of see them on my screen and if you just want to say a little bit about yourself that would be wonderful so starting with Kevin lamothe honored just before I got a screen shot and it's just a lighting plot of the YouTube the new loot youtube links so we might not be live just yet gotcha um so I'm getting updates from Simon Rossiter telling me if we're live perfect oh the third link is the charms so it seems like everything's great Connor are you bailing on those BIOS we'll just say our own thing yeah I don't think I have all the bottles in front of me so ours hi I'm Michael Walton Kevin Lamar 56 years old born in a ditch in Ontario I now reside in I ground the Lake Ontario I'm the director of lighting design for the Shaw Festival and and I've done lots of other lighting design around the country and elsewhere in I don't know 30-some years Kevin me Oh Kevin L because I have an F is here as well thank you for joining us Kevin L and I'll move right on to Kevin Frazier yes we're in grade 6 where Kevin F and Kevin L now I've been doing this about the same length of time as Kevin Lamont I'm from Toronto but I live in Stratford I did 30 years at the Stratford Festival and a bunch of other things as well mostly in Canada also musicals thank you for joining us Luis bueno you're next I am just corrected phenom Luiz you know I'm sorry I don't know it's okay it's messed up all lighting designer coming up on 40 years old even though older than anyone here uh-huh but they've been Stratford and I've been working here a long time off and on and most of my works been in Canada some of the stages on all sorts of different stage contagious wonderful thank you for joining us Michael Walton hi I'm Michael I'm originally from Winnipeg live in Stratford Ontario before we all stopped what we were doing recently I was in the middle of cueing Chicago for the Stratford Festival and work all over the place wonderful thank you for joining us Michael Kimber tell hi I'm Kim I've been a lighting designer for about 20 years I live in Toronto I grew up just in the suburbs of Toronto I've had the opportunity to work all over the country and in many countries around the world I'm happy to be here awesome Thank You Kim and Bonnie Beecher hi I'm Bonnie I'm 54 I live in Toronto I've been lighting for 30 years I do theater opera dance and lots of work in Canada but I also have a side gig in Germany so I get I do a lot of work in Germany mostly belly awesome and Michael Cruise do you want to introduce yourself at all hi there sorry I'm like doing everything at once my name is Michael cruise I am a I guess X lighting designer now I can officially say that because now I'm about to be licensed as a physician in Ontario and I left the business many years ago to pursue a career in Para medicine and then medicine and I am the host of the title block podcast which can be found at the total blog calm and on all your streaming services should we throw it to Kim to give us an update from the ADC on contracts and Cove at 19 and stoppages and all that other stuff did you want to talk about that before we get into questions and things we we kind of decided as a group as you were deal technical difficulties we decided not to because that's going what happened yesterday is going to be available online and both as a transcript and video so so we're just gonna leave it at that then forget I even said it wonderful art making experiences now and I think we can continue your stuff thank you so much Connor for leading the charge great so we've got some questions here that have been submitted by designers across the country so thank you for everyone who sent in questions and we'll just go through them one by one probably that not too quick of a pace and I'll just throw out the questions to the panelists and let them answer their leisure and once we found that a you know a question sort of exhausted itself we'll move on to the next one and Michael can people ask questions in the YouTube shad is that a thing we can do that's a good question I can't guarantee it I'm going to attempt to monitor that so I you can post a question and if I see it I will certainly pass it on to the group something good comes up absolutely but let's start with sort of the beginning of or near the beginning of a lighting design designers process with the script so we have a question of how do you tackle script analysis you start with a magic sheet or go right to the plot how do you make color choices so does that all one question it is all one question thank you my breaks down there starting with the text though I think yeah I certainly read through I try and do the first read-through I was spending a lot of time making notes and then the next time through break it down in terms of this location information is here or time of day information or any of the information that is in the script but also bearing in mind knowing the director knowing having a sense of whether it's a realistic an abstract or somewhere in between and how that impacts I often - are we the script without even thinking about the lighting first I just want to read it and feel it almost sounds flaky but I want to sort of feel what the script is and what the ideas are before I even think about it design wise and then and then talk to the director or a set designer and then get a sense of what they're thinking so I might have a sense of a style that it's in but I don't really break down the lighting for a while actually um same here I do the same thing I read it without really any notes just read it straight through second time notes maybe not even usually starts from a discussion with the director it for me and set designer I guess and if it's some material that I'm unfamiliar with but something that I need to research I might read something on the side that helps or some kind of visual thing art or film or some other thing that's close to it I usually read it the first time similar to Bonnie and Kevin I don't make any notes I just read it for the story and see what strikes me and usually the second time I read it I draw some pictures whatever images whether they are going to inform the final design or not it's just initial images that come to my brain or and then start talking to both the director and the set designer just about the story and how we might want to go about telling it I'd like to just like everybody else read it a couple of times the first time without making notes then the second time really detailed notes about everything so that when I go into the meeting with the director designers I have a really good idea what the script already calls for so you can then see where they're changing their mind and doing things differently from the script also you need to I think look through for things that are not as direct in the script like not just seeing three in the front of the bank daytime but but references that are in the script things like well it's late we have to go to bed okay there's a clue to time of day just more indirect things and I tend to go and aside from everything else that likes reading through for comprehension and just for interest I depend to isolate things that I find need some research like if it's a time period that I don't know anything about or there's referencing a specific historical character or something there's usually a little bit of research I find I want to do before then starting conversations with the director and other designers in the group following up on something Kevin Fraser said in terms of location because some scripts have added information that says a location that doesn't necessarily have to be you certainly get that in Shakespeare where it says it's in you know you'll see some versions of the script they give a location and Shakespeare didn't put any of that and a lot of playwrights don't but subsequent printed versions of the script have added assumptions that aren't necessarily contained in the actual spoken words um yeah there's something there with the different playwrights like Shaw for instance wrote those write that those were those are his so they're very specific because he never expected anybody to ever see it performed as a play so he really laid out his idea of it in terms of realism or naturalism of course we don't do them that way anymore but that's was his intention I think O'Neill is like that too yeah really specific so then after that initial sort of passive script analysis you all mentioned and conversations with a director how do you have design conversations and convey design ideas to a director go ahead bunny sure go ahead am i fine yeah I I usually go in kind of open with some ideas but questions more than anything about what direction they want to go in what's their thinking about it is it is it abstract is it not abstract and if it if my ideas align with them then it gets into a good jam sometimes it doesn't sometimes I have completely different ideas so I really need to be open about and not too stuck on my own ideas when I arrive and then be ready to shift some ideas and go with the flow with what they're talking about and also will depend on the set with the set well maybe we haven't we don't know what that is sometimes you walk in the sets done sometimes it's not lucky if it's not but so I try to go in really with an open mind and asking questions and then it's usually the next meeting that I'll start to bring other things to the table I would tend to agree with Bonnie in terms of how I approach that first meeting I will inevitably usually I'll have some visuals in my head simply from reading it and sometimes I'll offer those up and sometimes I won't and I would say you know we can we can certainly come up with lots of ideas through the design process sometimes then you get into rehearsal and the ideas the concept of how you were going to go about making or telling the story shift and change through rehearsal because how someone decides you know what they've decided in a room versus what they executed in the rehearsal hall with actors who have things to bring to the table can shift this the visual storytelling and so being able to being able to go with that and being able to shift and have a voice about it as well but I find that there are certain directors you can storyboard your way through the show and that's what they do and other times not so much so having ideas and communicating those ideas and having a great jam session with your collaborators prior to going into rehearsal I love that but also being able to be flexible enough as the process shifts and changes with the added performers coming into the room and having ideas of their own obviously I'm very so much directed to directors because they all have different work processes and I had one director a long time ago who asked me to draw every night and look and I I can't draw but anything so that one totally threw me we ended up being able to describe it but it can be anything from extreme detail to really open and explore when you're in the space so it's so very depending on I'm sorry Louis I I find that a lot of those early discussions with the director are about everything but the lighting very rarely does it ever touch on the lighting or anything specific occasionally like there's something that's obvious that might need to be talked about that has to do with a staging idea or something and the only way that it can be talked about is that well the lights gonna come from here or one of those kind of things but generally it's it's much more talked about the piece might not even be about the set design it's just about the piece the time the characters the smells like taste like feels like that kind of thing yeah Kevin I feel exactly like I often don't even want to hear about the lighting necessarily in that first meeting like I'm super keen on just having the director like download all their thoughts and ideas about everything and then then just get into a conversation about tastes smells feels all of that and let the let the lighting sort of evolve out of future conversations with the rest of the team right this is nicely into another question we received which was when in the process do you feel the pull towards or the push away from abstraction similarly the pull towards or push away from realism I I think it's all abstract I think the fact that people are coming in and sitting in a row facing in the same direction watching this thing is abstract to begin with so I don't know that I don't so I just appreciate abstraction in in everything in all sort of art forms and that kind of becomes a new kind of storytelling thing or not sometimes it's heard it and seen it before but I think I think lighting has that capacity to begin as an abstract thing and then people can take from it what they will but I think I think for myself I feel like it's all abstract and I start bearing in there I'm gonna pour another drip yeah all of it no that was good I agree yeah the realism has a place in the theater though like if we're working on plays that are setting specific times and things like that's a there's something there right that's where we start but I don't know it all feels fake you know there's no set as you know Kevin says we that it's all abstract there's no set rules you know just because it says it's nighttime does that mean you know I feel like it's just about approaching whether it's you know whatever kind of storytelling it is whether it's linear whether it's not just being open and helping to create the visual that you need you know that has no rules necessarily and whatever whatever helps to tell the story it is a visual narrative ultimately so abstract can be something like it's a period piece but you choose to light it not that way I mean that is an abstraction and so it's a direction the director will allow you to go that way where you create lighting that wouldn't necessarily be from that period that is a very abstract idea in itself so it depends and it really depends also abstract if the director goes in an abstract direction and maybe all maybe you can go anyway you don't have to worry about that moonlights being that color coming in from that window maybe it can be something else and I don't know about you guys but I've been very influenced by TV these days because their lighting in TV is amazing and very abstract I mean massive big lights coming through windows that are supposed to be time of day but they're not really real looking and I love that kind of stuff and I find that very abstract I think that all that it always looks heightened you know there's many kind of art says that a director might say look at this photographer or look at this artist's work or something I feel that when I look at that work it looks like lighting designs yeah and it looks like lighting design has always left as soon as you apply light in this in this way that we do it reveals form in in a in in an unreal way so we're always playing with this it sure it's real but it's not it's not you don't see you know stepping into some of these rooms it's it's always contrived created sculpted we've made choices whether it's theoretically a realistic or kitchen sink he still made choices to enhance or focus the eye so but there are some shows where you go to a much further extreme and go to what the term abstract is basically used to define something extremely something isolated something extremely directional there's all these degrees of that in anything and Conor I think was there something about a moment when there might be a moment to abandon Abscam so I'm wondering if it's the if it's like if there was an initial choice - if it's a kitchen sink play or whatever there if there was an initial choice to have soliloquies done in footlights or something and then you really the that's realized amongst the group that that way in the moment that what would it be trying to do that's not making sense maybe there's a collective sort of discovery when you feel like no this this play actually needs to feel like we're in a kitchen in the 80s or something maybe fridge door opener yeah maybe the fridge to open and there needs to be a light inside of it it's a good point because we have those people are producing more kind of hyper real like situation that situation like environmental or a very specific place based art right like in an alleyway that's lit with only practicals or even in places like the coal mine here in Toronto where you're in a very small room you're not using theatrical fixtures using LEDs are you just using practicals to like the whole see that is kind of the opposite of abstraction although almost like shooting an indie film or something right I think that that stuff feels a lot like that right I I was thinking about you know that he comes up occasionally as a reference as the artist Greg crude s'en do you know who that guy is the photographer and they're very very very heightened chilling photographs and anyway that's one of those kind of things when that's brought up as a reference to a show I always kind of think like well that's what we're gonna get anyway like even if we don't try it's gonna look something like that you know yeah sort of send me really a question and I think Michael was touching on a little was is there ever a point in the process where your concept is impeded by the limitations of the script or staging if so how do you move past that point and continue serving your design concept keep all of the actors on the stage there's that one it's hard to light under the balcony in the aisle I mean the truth the truth is that you your design should never be in front of the script or the staging it should be with it or behind it so your ideas are never the most important thing so if the limit there's no limitations in a way you have to do what serves the piece and bring something to it rather than go beyond it or it's not about your idea it's about your ideas in conjunction with everyone's ideas we're not the first player in the team that's right and theater is a live performance is a living breathing thing that has to have the opportunity and the ability to evolve through the process so to limit that process to serve a singular idea will squash it I think so you know I I we have to be elastic we have to and and and if the question is talking about limitations in terms of budget or gear or whatever I mean I have a love of limitations I started my career in the tiniest of the poorest of theatres and I remember doing my my second show at the Stratford Festival and Kevin Frazier was during the festival plot in the studio and I was doing a play called the little years and we removed the deck for the first time and all I had to use were the floor moving lights and my sixteen lights that I had for my show because the basic was all geared towards the stage and and I you know any kind of limitations that come into your path I don't consider them limitations it's just this is this is what you have this this is what you have to do the job that you're doing and help be part of the entire creative storytelling you know and sometimes I love that yeah yeah having to create something that doesn't make sense in the states that you're in it makes it fun it's it's if it's always predictable there's no excitement there's no expert there's not the same exploration moving on slightly from the conceptual to a little more about the nuts and bolts about a lighting design that first question I'm gonna circle back to a little bit that asked when it's actually time to start drafting where do you start you start with a magic sheet you start with a lighting plot you start with color choices what what sort of order to all of those steps take in the drafting process I I start with my script because I take meticulous notes through rehearsal and so I usually go through the script and look at all the ideas I've come up with through the process and then I make a list and usually I need twice as many lights as I have available to me in order to serve that and it's my least favorite day of the process because it's the day where I say I have to kill the babies I have to kill some ideas and I have to forget they ever existed for me because I can't go into tech going oh if I only had that other concept but the process the reason I hate that day is not about killing the babies it's about essentializing my idea [Laughter] but it's essential izing my ideas and making a cohesive pallet or a cohesive toy box because maybe all the ideas don't actually fit together so it's the day where I have to sit down and do that and then I as much as I'm an almost paperless person I use one piece of paper I jot it all down and I start getting rid of what like trying to figure out how to make which ideas actually live in the same world and then I draft which includes color choices etc and magic sheet is later for me same magic side Kim I think that's what you do it's a whole new outlook on Kim keep it light don't want to go to jail for that I tend to have a lot of the ideas when I'm in my regular life before I have to do the plot when I'm walking or swimming or cooking nice to think about the play a lot and I think about how I'm going to do make the ideas I'm gonna make in a very broad way I don't think about the details yet and then when I have to do that on the day much like Kim I'll make a list of the things I need how many lamps do I need to do and I'll make a whole list and I'm usually a hundred lamps over 200 I'm so her then I have to refine refine refine once I get that down on that list I'll I'll put every channel every color every detail every gobo before I put it on the plot I do it all first and then putting on the plot is just an easy task because it's decisions are already made it's good to make a big list of ideas rather than and have to remove some because if you just automatically assume I don't have enough lights to do that so I'm not even gonna consider it then you might actually throw out some really good ideas kind of by accident so I do much the same thing they could big lists prune it down and like Bonnie just before I start drafting everything's everything's written down on paper and then go to CAD is just a mechanical process really I think I do the same thing like Kim was saying it's all in my script somewhere like you know loose paper is your enemy you know so it's all in one place so he is in that script it might be on the back of pages it might be out of order but I spend some time going through that picking them all out making a task list like everybody's been saying that task list for me does have little diagrams so in the end of that process I could I don't but I could snip that those pages and paste together a rough magic you know that's so the and that's where my tallies come in so if there's like nine circles times two I know that I want you know that's a warm and a cool and if it's got to be cut it goes to six or whatever so all of those scribbles every gesture so I do like to draw not like Louise was saying like not scene by scene or anything like that but just the gesture of drawing of making that hand magic sheet all of those kind of stuff if something scribbled out there's still an idea back in there and I know what that once was that wait a minute that's that's the thing that that connects to this that connects to that so so I still tend to draw a lot even though it's just graphic drawing and I tend to spend a lot of time as I'm sort of preparing the drafting and and getting the drawing set up the way I liked it to be set up I tend to use that time to really get a good understanding of the three-dimensional space of their room and of the scenery and I find once I go through that process I have a better idea of what I'm capable of doing so like I find I find ideas kind of come out of that too like if because it i earlier in my career I kept getting strapped by having an idea that I that I found I couldn't realize because the physical space didn't allow for it to happen and so I went to they spending a significant amount of time on my drawing and then as I'm doing that ideas are popping into my head or I'm listening to music that's gonna be used in the show or I have something in the background that references the show clips playing or something and then I find I'm doing sort of menial tasks of organizing the drawing in a three-dimensional model but at the same time I'm gathering formatting my ideas and gathering my thoughts about what I want to achieve great the next question is one that came in from the live YouTube chat so that's exciting that we have or do you generally have something to present during preliminary design presentations at first read if so what do you choose to share I often say you will be lit to stand I always feel a lot of pressure to talk about those things but of course nothing's been like we were talking about earlier you don't want to precook anything either you're still at the very beginning of a process and I think a lot of times people will look to the lighting designer for Wow what's the lighting going to be like and some of it you know but I I don't know that you want to sort of play all your cards do you know if it's a show that you've been in from the beginning like where you wear the set you've been in from the design from the very beginning which is rare but when you get that then I often have more to say because I've been in but if it if I haven't been in from the beginning I'm not ready yet to say anything I usually say something similar to Kim like there will be light yeah similar it's I try to not get myself pinned down in a sense because you also so often hit a situation where things go a different direction and then what the director talks about or in earlier conversations that you and so I just kind say it's going to support the choices that are made and then go ahead and bat okay I say as little as possible there is supporting this set designer in those moments because I think it's got to be a real pressure cooker just sort of like yeah so so sometimes I I try to be involved in that you know there's often in a set designers presentation there's opportunities there for light or they'll talk about light so it you know elaborating on that kind of thing but but I do know that you know it's important and I think people want to hear from the lighting designer and I don't know that that's always the right time to do it and I find if there's a like you say Kevin if there's a significant set electrics element to the to the show that needs a lot further elaboration than a then that's maybe something I would choose to talk about so people can sort of envision the possibilities of how that could support this the production we had a couple questions about what it's like to collaborate with set designers and I'll boil them down I guess the two which is how early do you like to be involved in the development of the set design and what is satisfying or inspiring or frustrating and challenging about collaborating with a set designer I want to be off from the very beginning from the very first conversations I feel like sometimes it's hard to get people together people's schedules someone's in 14 hours of check or whatever but I want to be part of those initial discussions about the about the play about the storytelling as opposed to it being presented to me but sometimes it's not always possible um I would say the most frustrating thing is sometimes when the entire process the entire set design process is basically complete yeah I've had it and then you're like I get that idea but there's there's not the three feet that I need to do these make me feel horrible yeah yeah that this can happen and I'm like well that can happen if we blow at the side wall of the theater and you never want to be that person you never want to you you you know I always try to turn it around to figure out well we can't quite do that but what if we did something like this you know this is slightly different than what you were thinking it's always you know important to do that but being brought in at the very beginning of the process is ideal and something I really try to push for in my collaborations please involve me I'm the same I and I also find I mean the one thing it's not so much about responsibility of the director but I find the earlier that I'm in then it's not like I'm an added thing at the end and then they might not like what I'm doing or it doesn't feel like that when you come in early you are building it together from the ground up and so everyone's so the the director has responsibility for your work in a way that's front then if you're just tacked in at the end and also it's and then you can do all the art ideas it's just I find tech way easier for the most part when I'm there earlier because it's it's like it's built from the foundation - all together you can have a boat sorry Michael got it no I was just gonna say I feel like I feel like even in school we learned that the lighting designer is involved last or one of the last collaborators and so I think it's been a trend that we've been constantly trying to involve ourselves sooner and get people to want to involve lighting designers sooner in the process because I think for a long time it was we were added in after the fact or like here here's the production here's what we're gonna do and so it's been nice to be involved in changing that sort of way of saying how we do things and if you can get a voice in early it can be a voice that can sometime support the direction of design of what set designer is hoping to see with their work whereas if you come in too late decisions have been made but it's it's also a place where I get frustrated with the theaters that the production departments and theatres at times because sometimes I'm wanting to know if there are drawings in you know checking in with in and they don't think anything until everything is complete and theoretically approved whereas you've been saying if you don't necessarily have a direct line to if you haven't heard anything from the set designer you don't sometimes even know who the set designers and then you're given a complete set of drawings you go this is too late this is you need to be able to have a voice from early on and we aren't an add-on at the end we are part of the whole visual and the whole atmosphere I find that those very early discussions when you're involved with everybody before anything started I'm very conscious of what I say because the set designer has a very different discipline than I do and I don't want to steer that in any way or not even be it's just my team it's my own thing it's the way that I feel but I just it's that I still respect their time in all this their time with the director what a director wants to say I am there to to listen I think rather than you know say oh this wall should be this tall or any of this kind of nonsense but at the same time if all of a sudden they're talking about a lot of top lights I'd like they're envisioning it and sometimes using terms such as high side light but they want to put a whole loop on a closed-in box set I've certainly been in that situation by being there I can say these two things don't play in the same room can't have both yeah yeah and it's true what you say sometimes it's just about a listening even if I'm there just listening yeah I can absorb what the ideas are which makes my job easier in the end I had a thing to mention that that just reminded me of there's a film was on Netflix for a long time about the painter gerhard richter did anybody see that it's called Gerhardt Richter painting and he's a German abstract excelled not abstract expressionist anyway German contemporary artist and it showed his studio and him working and his works are really abstract and he has these two assistants that work with them but don't say a word because they know that anything that they can say can send him off for a week down some kind of you know freaky trip and then you waste a lot of time so they just kind of like let him do his thing and they're there to mix paint and they're specific with color and they set up canvases and lay out his tools and all those kind of stuff but they're very careful about treading so that they not influencing his thoughts anyway that's one anyway if the set designer and the director in the room early I'm conscious of that kind of thing I have a question from the chat that is probably germane from ELISA horse craft if she says if you get the opportunity to have a design focused workshop ahead of the rehearsal what do you want out of that process that's a good question yeah that no one wants the answer I I've certainly worked on it on a few of them I not not that many I don't know how many of those cues that you write end up being the thing I think that you're just kind of looking for a language and like we were talking about earlier it's the it's the kind of living it's not even a proof-of-concept it's just but it's the first gesture really but in a very elaborate way and also it's part of part of workshop again it's absorbing ideas but it's also support like part of the gig is supporting the team you all support each other so sometimes you might go to a workshop for a day or two and it's not really doing anything for you you are sucking up some of the ideas but you're there as a support because you're part of the team and that's sometimes the gig as well and it's absorbing the ideas and yeah and then you can circulate on them in a way that you can if you haven't been part of that whole cautious I worked on one recently with why not where the content from that was something that was filmed and that they use and I think that that's been kind of a great success like it wasn't a lot of it wasn't written it was a real exploration into what this thing could be and you know and so we lit some scenes or there weren't that many but we stood them up and it was in a much smaller venue than the show probably ultimately will be but it was I really enjoyed it and there was no it was just riffing just flying on instinct moment to moment to what they were doing and I liked that a lot sometimes visual concepts in a workshop are great to explore because often even though I don't speak in technical jargon to my collaborators sometimes being able to demonstrate a visual idea or a visual concept is really helpful as opposed to sort of just finding finding source material that is kind of that but not really and and being able to play with that visual concept and shift and change it in this in a similar way that you might do with a model of a set having the opportunity to play in that way is can be quite interesting especially if you're doing some sort of concept driven design you know so that's what I enjoy about workshops where you actually get to play with light mm-hmm yeah it's a good time to observe and I find it's it's like you're saying Kim especially helpful if there's a certain problem that you know you need to solve early that's not necessarily part of the overall concept of the production but it's just a technical challenge that like I remember doing a show where we needed to sort of have performers capture a small beams of light with little mirrors and redirect it to another person and then redirected to another so there is a bit of exploration with those sort of challenges and I find that's that's a really good time to prove whether or not this is actually going to be possible before you get into sticking with the plan that that supports that idea there's gotten a variation on three times and it's a simple question but I think it's one that there is a lot of interesting and it's just how do you choose color for a show people and the set is where I start people for me is the most important so what people's skin is and you know you've got a lot of variation of skin color and skin tone and trying to find what is gonna serve that the best you can even have you know two people of the same skin color beside one another you know I could I could you know as a as a Caucasian person I could stand beside bonny but we're gonna look very different in light I'm very pink and pale she's much more olivey I'm so trying to buy deal with the skin colour first then I obviously have to look at the set and the floor very specifically because light hits the floor and bounces back up onto the people and those are the two places I start with for sure pleased to have way more problems with colour like I used to he stoop I went when I started my career it was always like uh-huh but I find I know colour better now so I kind of know the general idea of the colors that I want to use is it a is it a very cold environment so I might know that I tend to go cold so if I have to do things with warm colours I always find it more challenging so I might do a broad stroke of colour but sometimes I get in and I'm wrong and often I don't do the skin tone first and I sometimes get caught with that and it's always a little humbling actually if I'm I have people onstage who I've lit them wrong and so I might have to go through and change the front front light colour or whatever but I always learn something from that so I don't stress about color like I used to I think yeah to Bonnie's point I same kind of thing I used to really kind of stress over it I think over time though it's become a colder weird world and not just with what we do just watch the news I guess yeah but that has sort of limited palette as well and I tried to kind of push against it sometimes but I do find that I'm sort of drawn colder and colder and colder and it's not my necessarily my own aesthetic but it it's just it works you know and like Kim was saying like it's something the just slightly off of just playing around daylight on skin tone is we're used to it we see it all the time it's believable that you can't kind of you can't go wrong with it you're not misrepresenting costumes all of that kind of stuff it's it's it's an easy one to do and then it depends on the show that you're that you're working on and I tend to I just know my own sort of limitations I tend to put any kind of saturated color and stuff from the side and from the back don't use lavender well it's something that looks good in other people's shows that sort of thing and but yeah it's it's not that I'm afraid of sort of laying it on from the front but it's got to be very very specific and very conscious of that now but I think my own specific palette has gotten narrow and narrow and narrower and I think it's either influenced by everybody else or it's it's the zeitgeist I know I don't know what it is but it's just where I'm at I think because I started fairly young at Stratford and at that time the festival stage the basic area rings were almost entirely open white as a base and then you have color washes that you laid on top and sort of what we then called the orchestra backs which we left diagonal back and and instead of chocolates so I started in that zone and open light was the base for me and then adding color on top of that so for a long time I stayed with that and I now started shifting only slightly cool but but staying not far from that and also because open white sometimes just a safety net with skin colors because if I had a color range especially before we had as much as many color changing units if I had a color that didn't play well on a skin tone sometimes if I just cut in some open white are really close to open white it was it was helpful but I find the slightly cool color correctors and all that I work well in that as soon as I go into slightly warm ones I get muddy and like you Kevin lavender I cannot make work I'm not good with pink either it's not it's just whenever was a pink girl but it's just I don't I don't feel like I get the right ones half the time I go to coward me on some of my color choices when I if I am in a world that needs something for pink and then I counter it by going too far and Jen end up somewhere in the middle but it's it's more of a dance and a color choice than if I'm in cools you use it beautifully I your disaster yeah I'm not good at with any of it I it's like it can be for me I can use lavender and it can be warm and it can be cool depending on what else I'm using with it and lavender some love endures are very muddy so you have to be careful and stay away from those but lavenders for me sometimes are a safety because you can light as long as you're countering it with something else you can light a lot of different races a lot of different skin tones with it for me it's worked whereas for me amber I'm like oh I try to additive do you know like I mean that's a luxury to be able to do that to hang a concept twice and to additively mix things but that that way I'll push into eleven but I don't know for me I just find it it I can't get it muddies when it dims which is another limitation of mind that every cue that I've ever written is at least three seconds too long so I was going to say as someone who's used to lavender a lot as well back when I lit things I would often color correct if I knew it wasn't gonna be at full it was a darker show guys throw three two four three two oh eight on it so you could actually run it at 35 percent or 40 percent and have it stay true it's a wealthy common thing to rob used to do that I was just gonna say I read an interview with Theron muster one time and she said she always chose color for a show first thing in the morning before the first coffee and cigarette if she did that she could get it done in 10 minutes otherwise it would take all day I used to try it like you're saying about warming on dimming Kevin it's good to try and figure out how how intense that you're going to be using certain systems if depending on what color is in them so I like it it's always something I think about I tend to think about last and right now I'm only going to glow this idea or whatever so why am i choosing that color and then I tend to revise things later on but like as as the plot is evolving I I find I enter three different color values into the fixtures before I'm done it's it's very evolving moving target target once I figure out how specifically I'm going to use the rig as well also I was gonna say about um LED like everything is LED now like everything we see the TV outside the way buildings are lit and so I think in a way our eyes are changing to what we want to see and I think that's changing on stage as well or not maybe what we want to see but we what we know and so I find LED color is sort of changing the way I think shows as well it's the first time I had a resistance to the vibrancy of it but I'm starting to understand it better and use it differently and see it differently as well I've had to use and all Lily being rigged a couple of times and I hate that I still want something that cuts - without that that punches that idea it may be that I just haven't learned how to manipulate it but I feel like I can't get the actors faces as true in an entirely led rig as I can the traditional registers but that just made me mean I haven't learned yet I think practice you know tungsten warms I think it's good yeah yeah I agree I don't want it I'm not fond of all led it has its place but as you say skin tones it's really really tricky I find yeah so getting better I think it one more a good technical question before we move on to some more general ones and this is how much programming do you do before get it into the theater do you want to be doing programming in advance do you want to build everything from scratch during a low-level session how you approach the programming aspect personally I don't do any programming like that ideas my head is gonna be but I don't I create a map from it I don't do programming I do bringing blitz on the fixtures like a five if I've spent a lot of time with the Lester and I've figured out how to make a color palette of our eighty I don't want to redo that every single time but slope bring in color palettes sometimes I'll bring in a variety of effects that I've made over the years just so I can pull from them and you know because I've organized them but I don't do any programming before I do create a map before I go into levels I've gone through all the ideas I have in the script I know where I want cues I give myself in my description what I want it to do where the queue is gonna happen this is something it's also the cue sheet that I give to the stage manager so that they can put that information in their book but it's my math of how to get through levels in tech I always skip numbers so they don't have 14 points after twenty six point seven eight four two three eight but I learned that early on especially when you could only have one point but but I go in with a Mac but I because I don't until my first hour of levels how is that light falling on that drop and how does that skim that place and what what are the level what is complementing each other and what are the levels at and you know I just for me I don't I don't program before I'm the same I have to learn the rig first yeah but I valued the time without the director to explore it and make sure yeah what I think is going to work is gonna work and some places don't want to give you that time but I try hard to have it so I've got some stuff loaded so when the director first comes in I've got something to show instead of having them sit there as I'm playing like the first I just I just tell the director not to come don't come for two hours do not come I need I need to it's like you watching a costume designer start sketching their first sketch like I need a little bit of time with this to take a look at it so you get in the back but I don't want to hear your voice yeah watching sausage be made I find that anything that you can do ahead of time with moving lights when no one else is in the room and you get any kind of kick at that the time is very useful because of course they take time and the first time you see them you know you're not actually focusing the light someone else is kind of pointing there and it's never if you're real sort of purist and you've been doing this for a long time it's it can be a little grating so it's kind of not it's kind of good to get some of that stuff not all of it but some of it in place at least to make yourself comfortable that you can you've got something to go to there rather than create it Kevin Fraser don't you pre-program sometimes I program a lot of shows but not pre-programming theater over rehearsal not in non-union situations obviously a union situation you can't really do that but I do a lot of just sitting in rehearsal and building cues over tops right when Kim was singing about prep I often it's not always a sleepless night anymore but kind of before levels you know it's still like it's still I don't know it's low level anxiety low level like that like you feel in your gut you know it's like you're starting something new and it's just you don't know how it's going to end and it's kind of like when it's going to end any of the Rachel's and especially if you're working with the director that you've never worked with before because you establish the vocabulary when you're working with somebody you're familiar with over the shows you you know what they mean by blue and they only use it if it's somebody we've never worked with of that snake business is stronger than funds sorry Louise I find just the more that I know the show ahead of time the more that comfort level the more homework that you can do that that reduces that feeling but in terms of pre-programming not physical pre-programming but I've often kind of laid the earth and night before and thought curtain in I mean so it's the light through the window on entering all of that kind of stuff until eventually I fall asleep but it's like it's like how much of this do I know right now so oh sorry good I was gonna say also it also depends on the director if you're leading the process or not because some directors you need to lead the process and especially I would say for all of us at our place that we've been doing it for a long time most of us will lead the process so that in a way it adds more pressure because you need to really present the ideas and you need to be prepared and some directors you need to be prepared anyways but some directors will come in and they want to lead the process so you also need to be able to give them what they want and be ready for that so I'm sort of partly answering Jason hands question here which is with he's just asking about new directors like how do you deal deal with that and build trust with that and I think it's always about leading having good ideas but not stepping on their ideas I agree I think you always have to be prepared to lead the process you don't say so what do you want to see next like you have to have your item right mg and be amenable to collaboration it's all about collaboration so you know hopefully you've had lots of chats prior to getting into levels and these aren't new ideas yeah it sometimes feels like you work in an ad agency though and you just keep pitching you know and I find almost always I despise everything I do in the first few hours and you think you're gonna get you're like lighting design status taken away like everyone's gonna know you're a fraud because there needs to be certain amount of discovery you need to what feel the walls vibrating to know if something is working or not and I remember things like without fighting for fighting to remember your channel numbers or whatever it's just like there's you have to have some time and get a chance to see combinations of things that you hadn't even imagined that it was ever going to work that way you know that's all yeah they're somewhere oh happy accident exact I had the best happy accident happened once at Berkeley Street in Toronto I had a light on the balcony rail and someone had hit the bottom shudder and it was this it was this flash of light sort of on this back wall and it was a set with a ceiling and three walls and everything anyways it got hit in such a perfect way it wasn't the idea I originally had and when I brought the light up in levels I was like like a door hit that shutter and it's the perfect thing genius yeah and then you're like oh I'm a total fraud you were there to recognize that it was good well yeah and then going back to color Connor I find that there's at least one thing I discovered that I wanted to change before like before people are looking at this I'm like this is we need to have an hour and we need to go around and change these twelve lamps to a different thing and then and then then it's until it's what I intended it to be or until and until we discover that we have to go a different route with something I've also found that I would say maybe half of the shows I do my director doesn't sit in love both they see it with the people certainly in the States well there's no such thing as levels in the state that's the difference yeah you're just working over top of but you've had the discussions and I totally get it it's like watching a set designer cut the model pieces out like you know so I'd say at least half the directors I work with do not sit in levels we've talked through it and then they'll see it with the people it's really hard when you're doing you know a musical with 40 people on stage or an offer with 60 people or even a play with ten people and you have one maybe two light walkers for your levels and they're like what's the light over there and I'm like I'm lighting the 14,000 people you have over there it's just a skim of light but right now it looks like a lot of light hitting the floor or something you know so so I've found that in those situations if you talk through it and there's trust and you know but there's really fantastic directors that will come and sit through all of levels and really jam with you and that's also fantastic but not necessary yeah I mean same for me as as for Kim about half probably about half of the people I work with don't come to levels they just say make it pretty yeah I find - with the schedules these days there are some shows where you have eight hours and you have 200 queues to build and I have to say to the directory you can not two levels or you can come but you can't talk to me because I will not get it in and in those situations I mean that's not all shows but you know those kind of shows where we're doing them more and more actually where you have 200 cues to put in one day to do it you prenumbered the whole thing stage manager so you just have to put your head down and do it there's no time for conversation so that's a whole different thing but and then they can see it with people Kevin I often get on those shows where the director says make it not pretty you make it look kind of shitty yeah how does probably harder to do well I don't know okay select the the visual images like hair on soap or something for this lighting I think all of you have worked with assistants both at one of Stratford or Shaw if not both we a question that came in what with what are some do's and don'ts for assists for good assistant lighting designers when they're working with you I certainly want obviously is especially Stratford Shaw the COC they have a job to do that is outside of being our assistants they they have work that they have to do that is for the electrician sometimes work that we would never do as as designers decide what dimmers are going in what um but I want them I certainly will have things that I will ask them to do but I want them to also get something out of the process ultimately in Canada we don't have it's not like Broadway we don't have people who make an entire career out of being assistants or associates you know and taking shows all over the world and on on the road and so I really do want to find out we often you know in in those places we're not choosing who those people are someone like Kevin Lamont is deciding who those people but I want to make sure I want to make sure that they're that they are getting something out of the process that allows for them to grow and they're not just doing all the technical things of making the drawing pretty a great magic sheet and you know and there are certain things that you know there are certain designers who have their assistant make their cue sheet and update it that's something I have it's part of my process and I have to do it it's part of my living document of the design but often maybe much like a sound designer in a musical once we start running the show I want them to move around and I move around to take notes from different places as long as they understand what it is the design concept is or the design approach is you know the updating the paperwork to me is the easy part and helping me with you know certain things or if I have to have a detailed discussion with a director I'll be like okay just make a quick fire flicker effect you know I'll be like just like eight spikes on the graph and make them like you know whatever and do this kind of you know what other people do similar I mean I have to for my own sanity do my initial cue description and but then I will let them do the upkeep of them they through the process but I need that for a jumping-off point that I want collaboration I went there I I want to hear from them but I also want the paperwork to be really clear sometimes they're in the theatre because they're on shows that are happening simultaneously in the same space they may know about something that's changed before I do and I certainly accept clear communication on that it's making sure that the electrician knows everything that we know because they're the big guarantee on that I'm the opposite I do I do not want to do any of the any like I don't do a cutest good I'd put I put all the cues in my script and I when I get to the table I don't want to look down I just want to be looking at the stage so I want to assistant to do all the writing and all the note-taking I don't want to have to look at my screen you know and obviously I have to do that one I don't have an assistant and I'm very bad at it writing my own cue descriptions all because I just don't want to be taking my eyes upstage so so that's what I love about an assistant and also a good assistant you have to be able to go and have a drink with or go and have lunch with like there has to be some fun there too because if they're too tight it's not fun and sometimes it's a stressful situation and if they're there with you you can be in the situation with them in there there could the quiet the quiet one who's hearing what's going on and you're able to go and go oh that was just full or whatever so there's all kinds of things I mean I love having assistants if I especially on something like a musical I will often just see if I can hire someone just do my cues because I get over what overwhelmed with paperwork and I don't want to have to deal with it and I find it's like we we tend to operate in our own little bubble sometime like at our own little table in the back of the theatre in the dark and on the same on a on a channel where we or he are lighting people and electricians are hearing the same conversation and I did find that I'm I'm looking for a little bit of feedback because sometimes I think I'm going down the right Road or the really the wrong road and at the end of the session the the directors left already other designers have packed up and left because it's just the end of a work day and I'm left there thinking is any of this mean anything and I find that it's helpful to have someone to have a conversation with and to offer their honest honest feedback yeah first two hours of stuff you did Michael really stunk the room yeah it did I think it's important that an assistant knows how to read the room and be sensitive to what's going on in rehearsals I just a generally had people who are not very good at that and it's it's really awkward you know that's a big don't write you need to have those kind of antennae to know you know pull them down how much space any one of us can take up in the room yeah including Anna you know how much space can we take you know yeah I find that assistance that I use them all the time have for a long time I assisted when I was a kid as well so it was part of my training and my experience so it's just part of what I know and they you know they make my work a lot better not just a lot like way better then I do on my own so I rely on them heavily and it depends like if it's it depends on the show and what the need is sometimes it might simply be drafting sometimes on a big show with a lot of moving lights yeah I might deal with conventionals and have the assistant deal with movers specifically do you know just so I'm not getting lost in all of it because I I can't get lost quite easily and so that's a huge help and yeah I just love them I love having them around all of it I just think that I've just benefitted greatly from having assistants and cleaning up stuff in the background lies of things all about stuff yeah because I don't want to be my I to be distracted from what I'm looking at these are going do I need to worry about a move that's coming up I just want to be looking in that sense things Bonnie looking at the stage and not getting it any dreams but but I certainly had the assistant who has decided to voice their brilliant idea yes most assistants are great and there you get a bond with them there's also the I what I like about having assistants now in my career is I get to mentor and that's great I mean having someone there witnessing what you're doing learning from you makes you better at it and you learn from that as well teaching in a way even though it's a job in itself I mean I learnt everything from us thing so just watching people work and how they worked what to do what not to do so I'm happy to have assistance to be working with me but also that they're learning something it's it's really important when you're young to be able to just get in the room and I think that it's important for all of us and we all know it it's important to have somebody in the room with you because it's such a rare experience there's not there's not many shows we don't do that many a year although we think we do there's it's such a rare opportunity so I think it's important to just have somebody like minded around to witness it good or bad it's it's all it's all good we have to wrap soon but there's one question I really want to get that came into the chat which came in from amber hood which was I'm interested in what everyone is doing working on at the moment to keep their creative energies flowing how are you using your imagination in isolation well I was saying to these guys earlier all I've been doing all I've wanted to do is bake bread I've been on the whole baking bread train but honestly it's allowing me to be creative it's very weird and that's about that and walking and you know I miss work deeply I do miss it but it's strangely less stressed in this one part of my brain is much less stressed I don't have deadlines I don't have to wake up at a certain time my kids aren't don't have to get up to school so there's this much more relaxed part but I do miss being creative so yeah I'm putting right now into baking and cooking I like bonny miss I miss work I miss the people I miss having creative as about something moving right in front of us I have all the appreciation for everything that's happening online but that shared experience in the theater as you're making something I miss it but I am spending a lot of time walking as well like funny I'm spending a lot of time taking a lot of photos and often light has a lot to do with those photos and I'm really enjoying sort of experiencing the beauty of the outside world and how light engages with the outside world yeah like I'll just be walking I'll be like look at how that's kind of skimming this how that Sun going down is skimming the side of that building you know stuff like that but I have hopes of making bread next week my mom Bonnie is hell of recipe and I'm gonna go for it I also want to learn how to poach an egg really well but you know I know that one I've never been one to draw or paint or anything and I've suddenly I'm new to an iPad and I've suddenly gone down this rabbit hole of wanting to draw and paint every day I love your painting I love them there's gorgeous I think three hand paintings yeah yeah is it appropriate or what do you yeah yeah I'm propria oh they're so beautiful I find it to reel out like as sometimes it's a half an hour thing and other times it's been like from 9 o'clock until 5 o'clock and then I pack up the work for the day and start making dinner or whatever but it's a real beautiful really good little bit for me it's it helps my brain sort of settle in the current world um Kim I just wanted to tell you there's a video I watch a number of these videos by Jacques Pepin do you know who he is the fashion chef so they're all on YouTube of course because he had that great show in the 90s on PBS and anyway there is one about the poached egg so you see how Jacques thing which is the best way to do the poached egg including getting a whole like for a restaurant you can get a dozen of them ready so I don't know that you're gonna have that many people for breakfast especially not now but it's also about my balcony it's also it's also how to do that so that you can just read them quickly I'm reading a lot getting two books that I've been meant to read and haven't had time like everybody else I miss being in the theater but maybe not as much as I thought I would you know having had most last summer off I got used within but this time I miss it more I'm walking a lot sometimes run into Michael Walton on walks I'm sowing a lot but what I'm doing my only creative thing in the sowing is constantly changing the pattern of the sort of masks I'm doing what I can make it better I can make it more efficient and then just leave it alone and do what it is but I have an eight-year-old here so my creativity has kind of skewed that way so I've done a lot of played a lot of Lego almost every day she's now doing a lot of school as well so I'm scanning a lot of her work and stuff and sending that off to the teacher but we also built this incredible fort in dit so it's not just like a blanket over anything she had this little tent that we set up in the bedroom so there's kind of like three rooms to this fort that wrap around the bed so it's it's pretty great and some road hockey whatever anyway that kind of stuff so lots of eight-year-old creativity play lots of drawings and and cards as well not creative but you know fun for all of us who are so used to just like working 24 hours a day and like just like getting on the hamster wheel and never getting off it's like really it's I find that it's it's intense how great the feeling is sometimes I'm just being forced to stop and to peoplement to look at your life around you and make sure you're not missing anything that's going on passing by except for the all.we no kidding the rest of its good yeah yeah absolutely well that's awesome and young we um we you know and that about did play yeah exactly thank you ever so much all of you for first of all agreeing to do this I think that one of the advantages of being home they're not feet they're not a lot but one of them is that we can all get together like this on a night and we're all not in the middle of the theater or working and able to actually share all these ideas so I love that part and thank you so much there are a bunch there were some questions a lot of questions that were sent to us that we couldn't get to don't worry because I want to be doing this cyclically every Thursday night hopefully next week it'll either be video or set design I think next week well sort that out I think we'll keep the Xoom format it seems to work well thank you for sitting through the first 10 minutes of me panicking on coming up with a new plan to do this in five minutes and we'll see everybody hopefully you guys will come back and join us we'll have a lighting design panel in a few weeks maybe is exactly please samples oh yeah the poster I'll get so you can put those things in a pack and like a you know with some dry ice and you can just send into my house all right well thank you ever so much thank you so much have a good	The

oDxQGmLRtnI	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDxQGmLRtnI	City of Santa Rosa Planning Commission February 27, 2020	I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AD CALL TO ORDER THE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. LET THE RECORD REFLECT ALL COMMISSIONERS ARE PRESENT. >> >> AUTO PROVAL OF THE MINUTES. JANUARY 23RD, 2020 MINUTES. ANY CORRECTIONS OR COMMENTS? THOSE WILL STAND AS DRAFTED. WE HAVE OUR FEBRUARY 13TH, 2020 DRAFT MINUTES. ANY COMMENTS OR CORRECTIONS TO THOSE? SO THOSE WILL STAND AS PRINTED AS WELL. SO NEXT WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS; WHICH IS A TIME FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION ON MATTERS OF INTEREST TO THE COMMISSION THAT ARE NOT LISTED TONIGHT AS A PUBLIC HEARING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FILLED OUT A CARD TO SPEAK TO US. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN PUBLIC COMMENTS [ GAVEL ] MR. DEWITT, ARE YOU GOING TO BE SPEAKING UNDER PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY. GREAT. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS DWAYNE DEWITT AND [ INAUDIBLE ] LAST 22 YEARS TO ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BUT ALSO SUND PLANNING. I WAS LAST HERE AT YOUR LAST MEETING, AND I WAS TAKE ABACK BY THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED. SPECIFICALLY PEOPLE BECAUSE WHO CAME FORWARD TO VOICE A REASONABLE CONCERN ABOUT SOME HOUSING COMING IN ON A RURAL ROAD WERE ESSENTIALLY GIVE GIVEN THE BUM'S RUSH. THE REASON WHY, BECAUSE WE CAME HERE AND SPOKE WITH YOU AND POINTED OUT THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DID NOT MAKE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE AVAILABLE DURING THAT HEARING. AND THEN ALSO POINTED OUT THAT NO MINUTES WERE TAKEN OF THE MEETING AND NO RECORDING WAS TAKEN OF THE MEETING. SO NO ONE COULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SAY TRUTHFULLY AND FACTUALLY WHAT HAD OCCURRED. THE DILEMMA THAT WE FACED THERE IS AN APPEAL PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO POINT THAT OUT. BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HELD THEIR MEETING ON THAT ITEM BEFORE THE TIME LIMIT FOR THE APPEAL WAS UP. THE PEOPLE CAME HERE AND SPOKE WITH YOU AND ASKED FOR A CONTINUANCE. IT WAS SAID, YES, THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO OCCUR. AFTER PUBLIC COMMENTS WERE GIVEN, THEY WERE TOLD NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE IT AND SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD. IT WAS ON THE CITY COUNCIL'S JEAN FOR THE NEXT WEEK. SO WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IS SAY RUSH TO DISASTER CAPITALISM. WE'RE GETTING PAST TIS ETHICAL APPROACH AND GETTING PAST THAT SITUATION WHERE WE TRY TO BALANCE THINGS FAIRLY, AND GIVE THE COMMUNITY A REAL CHANCE TO GET THING DON. THE SAME NEIGHBORS PALED YOUR DECISION THAT NIGHT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY ALSO IS OF INTEREST TO ME, ALSO, AS A SUPPORTER OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT OF FAIRNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TRANSPARENCY IN ALL PROCESSES. TODAY, YOU ARE HAVING A HEARING BEFORE THE APPEAL PROCESS TIME IS UP AT CITY COUNCIL NEXT WEEK; IT'S ALREADY ON THE AGENDA. AND THE PRELIMINARY AGENDA IS SAYING IT'S APPROVED. SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT YOURSELF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE MIRROR, ALL OF US HERE AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT DO WE STAND AUTO FOR AND WHAT DO WE REALLY BELIEVE IN? DO WE TRY TO GET HONESTY AND TRUTH IN A FORM RIGHT SYSTEM OR BECAUSE WE HAD A FIRE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THE PEOPLE AFFECTED MOST WERE IN HOUSES THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN UP THERE, BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE TOLD AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION IT WAS A BAD SPOT TO PUT HOUSES IN A DESIRE ZONE. THAT IS ALL UNDER THE BRIDGE IN ONE SENSE. THE QUESTION BEFORE ME TODAY WHEN I TRY TO COME BACK AND SPEAK LATER IN SUPPORT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WILL YOU FOLKS BE FAIR THERE WHAT DO YOU? BECAUSE IT SURE DIDN'T SEEM SO LAST WEEK. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT? I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE RISE DO THAT SO I WILL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME AND MOVE ON TO TO PLANNING COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. ANY REPORTS TONIGHT FROM COMMISSIONERS IT? WE TOOK A LAGOON AND NOT ANOTHER UPDATE ON THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN WITH A SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO LOOK AT THE PRINCE MEMORIAL GREENWAY AND TO OFFER UP COMMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE TREATMENT OF THAT WITHIN THE PLAN. SO IT WAS A GOOD MEETING AND A GOOD DISCUSSION. I ALSO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER CARTER WAS IN ATTENDANCE TO VIEW THE MEETING, AND I WILL BE APPOINTING COMMISSIONER CARTER TO BE THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTEE ON THE WATERWAYS COMMITTEE BEGINNING IN MARCH. SO THAT IS MINE NEXT IS DEPARTMENT REPORTS. >> WE HAVE NO REPORT. >> OKAY. ANY STATEMENTS OF ABSTENTION BY COMMISSIONERS? >> I UNFORTUNATELY NEED TO ABSTAIN FROM ITEM 10.1 AS A HAVE A FINANCIAL CONFLICT WITH BOTH APPLICANTS. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE HAVE NO STUDY SESSION THIS EVENING, NOR ANY CONSENT ITEMS. AND SO WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING MOVE ON TO OUR ONE AND ONLY PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING AND LET COMMISSIONER KALIA EXIT AND THE CARITAS VILLAGE EIR AND PLANNING PROJECT AND IT'S EX-PARTE DISCLOSURE AND COMMISSIONER CARTER ANYTHING TO DISCLOSE? >> I VISITED THE STE AND MET WITH THE APPLICANT, AS WELL AS SOME NEIGHBORS OF THE PROJECT AREA. I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO DISCLOSE. >> COMMISSIONER DUGGAN. >> I MET WITH STAFF TO DISCUSS CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROCESS. I HAVE MET WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF BURBANK HOUSES AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES ONCE AT THE SITE AND MET WITH NEIGHBORS FROM THE HISTORIC DISTRICT TO TAKE A WALKING TOUR OF THE ST. ROSE DISTRICT AND HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO DISCLOSE. >> VICE-CHAIR WEEKS. >> I ALSO VISITED THE SITE, AS WELL AS MEETING WITH THE APPLICANT, ACTUALLY TWICE, PROBABLY OVER THE LAST YEAR. AND DID VERY INTERESTING WALKING TOUR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH TWO OF NEIGHBORS AND LEARNED ABOUT SOME OF THE BUILDINGS BOTH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT USED ADAPTIVE REUSE OF SOME CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, BUT NOTHING NEW TO DISCLOSE. >> COMMISSIONER PETERSON? >> I ALSO VISITED THE SITE. I MET WITH APPLICANT TWICE OVER THE PAST YEAR. I MET WITH SOME NEIGHBORS, WHO LIVE NEARBY THE PROJECT AND GOT I THINK THE SAME WALKING TOUR AND LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I ALSO MET WITH STAFF TO GET AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT. AND I MET WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CHRIS ROGERS. >> COMMISSIONER OKREPKIE? >> I VISITED THE SITE AND MET WITH BOTH APPLICANTS TWICE, MET WITH NEIGHBORS, AND ALSO MET WITH STAFF. >> OKAY I ALSO MET WITH THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVES TWICE, PROBABLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, VISITED THE SITE, TOURED THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS. AND IN FULL TRANSPARENCY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOUR COLOR WAS PURPLE. SO THIS SHIRT MEANS NOTHING [LAUGHTER ]OKAY. SO I HAVE NOTHING FURTHER TO DISCLOSE. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ADD, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND BEGIN THE CARITAS ITEM. KRISTINAE TOOMIAN IS SENIOR PLANNER, BUT I BELIEVE STAFF HAS A TEAM APPROACH BEGINNING. >> YES, I WILL KICK IT OFF CLAIR HARTMAN DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PLANNING. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A SPECIFIC PROSE YAP TONIGHT, BUT TO PUT IT IN CONTEXT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF THE CITY. THIS PROJECT HAS COME TO US IN UNUSUAL TIMES. WE'RE IN A HOUSING CRISIS. WE HAVE DECLARED SEVERAL MARGINALS OF HOMELESSNESS AND WE DECLARED A HOMELESS EMERGENCY AND ALSO IDENTIFIED DOWNTOWN HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HUSING, AND ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS AS TIER 1 COUNCIL PRIORITIES. AND AS SUCH, THAT TAKES QUITE A BIG CONTEXT FOR THE CITY ORGANIZATION, WHEN PROCESSING AN APPLICATION LIKE THIS. SO THIS PROPOSAL DOES INCLUDE DOUBLING HOUSING AND DOES INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DOES INCLUDE NOT ONLY HOMELESS SHELTER, BUT HOMELESS SUPPORT SERVICES. WHEN YOU IS SUCH AN ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS, AND PRIORITIES, AND DECLARATIONS, AND STATEMENTS OF EMERGENCY, WE TAKE THIS PROPOSAL QUITE SERIOUSLY. SO WE HAVE PRIORITIZED THE PROCESSING OF THIS PROJECT. NOW IT HAS TAKEN THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF YEARS PROCESSING THIS PROJECT; IT'S QUITE COMPLEX. THE SITE ITSELF IN AN URBAN CONTEXT IS QUITE COMPLEX AT THE EDGE OF A PRESERVATION DISTRICT. IN ADDITION IT LITERALLY NEEDS SOLAR PLANNER ENTITLEMENTS EXCEPT FOR HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMITS. SO THERE IS QUITE A NUMBER OF ACTIONS YOU ARE BEING ASKED TONIGHT. WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PRIORITIZED IS THAT EACH AND EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY, WE ALIGN OUR RESOURCES, AND LOOK TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS, MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC PROCESS, BUT REALLY ALIGN OUR RESOURCES. SO THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH EACH AND EVERY STEPS, QUITE A LOT O STEPS TO MOVE THIS TO HEARING TONIGHT. IN ADDITION, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER -- WE HAVE PRESENTATION OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE PUBLIC PROCESS TO-DATE. IKE I SAID, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS. THERE'S BEEN MANY TOUCH POINTS WITH THE COMMUNITY. SEVERAL PUBLIC MEETINGS IN ADVANCE OF THIS FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING THAT IS SET UP FOR CONSIDERATION AND ACTION. OTHER TOUCH POINTS HAVE BEEN PRE-APPLICATION MEETINGS, OR CONCEPT DESIGN REVIEW MEETINGS AND THOSE ALL AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ONE OF THE MEETINGS THAT WE CHOOSE NOT TO DO, AND IN OF THE SPIRIT OF STREAMLINING THE PROCESS, IT'S NOT A REQUIRED MEETING, BUT IT'S ONE THAT YOU AS COMMISSIONERS ARE USED TO HAVE, AND THAT IS AN EXTRA PUBLIC HEARING THAT PRECEDES THIS ONE. AND THAT PUBLIC HEARING IS TYPICALLY HELD WHEN THE DRAFT EIR GOES -- COMES OUT PUBLICLY. IT'S AN EXTRA FORUM, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE PUBLIC, AND FOR COMMISSIONERS TO WEIGH-IN ON OUR DRAFT EIR. SO IT'S A COURTESY MEETING. AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE INSTEAD IS WE FOLLOWED THE 45-DAY COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH STARTED IN EARLY NOVEMBER AND WENT THROUGH DECEMBER. IN EFFECT WE DID GET ONE COMMENT LTTER. SO WE DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS NECESSARY TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL STEP. BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO THE COMMISSION, SINCE YOU ARE USED TO HAVING THAT ADDITIONAL STEP TO COMMENT TO US, TONIGHT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMENT AND YOU ALSO ARE THE ABILITY TO A. DON'T NEGATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON THE DRAFT EIR BECAUSE IT'S A DRAFT AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT RECOMMENDATIONS. SO YOUR ROLE IS TO WEIGH-IN AS THE EIR MOVES ITS WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT PUBLIC MEETING WITH IN THIS FORUM DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT. JUSTS A BIG-PICTURE WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT IN THE WHOLE OF THE PROCESS FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS, OF THIS SCALE, IS YOU ARE DECIDING IF THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD, IS THIS THE RIGHT LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR THIS SITE? IS THIS THE RIGHT -- ARE THESE THE RIGHT LAND USESES IN THEIR PROPOSAL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS FOR THIS SITE? AND IS THIS THE LEVEL OF INTENSITY THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITE? SO IF THEY GET TO DO THE PROJECT, THE HOW AND DESIGN AND LUCKILY WHY ARE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEIGH-IN ON IT. THERE IS OTHER REVIEW AUTHORITY IN THE CITY. NAUGHT A JOINT REVIEW PROCESS TAKES BASE WITH THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AND CULTURAL HERTAGE BOARD AND THEY HAVE WEIGH-INED MANY ON A CONCEPT LEVEL OF THE THIS PROJECT AS HAD MOVES FORWARD POST-CITY COUNCIL REVIEW WILL RETURN BACK TO THOSE BOARDS AND THEY WILL BO THROUGH THIS ROSE. SO THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL ENTITLEMENT. S THESE ARE THE FIRST ACTIONS. SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO BILL ROSE TO TALK ABOUT REST OF THE PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU, CLAIR. CHAIR, CISCO AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THANK YOU FOR BEING LEER AND IT'S A PLEASURE TO PRESENT THE CARITAS VILLAGE PROJECT. AS CLAIR MENTIONED STAFF HAS BEN WORK ON THIS THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS. GIVEN THE SCOPE OF PROJECT, OUR PRESENTATION WILL BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE. I WOULD LIKE TO OUTLINE THAT. WE'LL BEGIN WITH A PRESENTATION FROM KRISTINAE TOOMAINS THE SENIOR PLANE ON THE PROJECT FROM THE START. SHE WILL GO THROUGH THE TYPICAL PROCESS ALBEIT A LITTLE LODGER AND WE'LL FOCUS ON THE LAND USE ACTIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. THOSE INCLUDE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT, MINOR USE PERMIT AND THE EIR THAT IS REQUIRED AS REALLY THE FIRST STEP. IN ADDITION TO KRISTINAE YOU HAVE STAFF INCLUDING ASHLEY CROCKER FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS IN THE AUDIENCE. REPRESENTATIVES FROM HOUSING, BUILDING, ENGINEERING, TRAFFIC, FIRE A POLICE. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN FULLY BRIEFED ON THE PROJECT AD ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIKE HAVE. SITTING AT THE TABLE WITH US TONIGHT ARE REPRESENTATIVES FROM STANTEC CONSULTING THE CITY'S EIR CONSULTANT AND AFTER KRISTINAE COMPLETES HER PRESENTATION, WE'LL GO INTO STAN TECH'S PRESENTATION THAT WILL FOCUS ON THE EIR. THE APPLICANT TEAM IS HERE AND THEY HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS AND THEY HAVE A PRESENTATION AND ARE PREPARED TO PRESENT TO YOU AS WELL. AND PROCESS THAT WE HAVE DONE A FEW TIMES NOW AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT WE THINK WORKS WELL IS TO, AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE STAFF PRESENTATION, IN THIS CASE ALSO THE CONSULTANT'S EIR PRESENTATION, THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, AND THEN PUBLIC COMMENT WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO KRISTINAE FOR THE STAPH STAFF PRESENTATION. >> THANK YOU, BILL. THANK YOU, CHAIR KIS CEO, KRYSTYN YEA TAHOMAAIN WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE PRODUCE CARITAS VILLAGE.

THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A GARDEN. AND THE SOUTH AND EAST ADJACENT PROPERTIES I A 3-LEVEL CONCRETE PARKING GARAGE FOR THE MALL THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 20' TALL. AND TO WEST WE HAVE HIGHWAY 101, THE ON-RAMP TO HIGHWAY 1 01 AND SOUND WALL ALONG MORGAN STREET. THE PROPOSAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY BLOCK. AND IT'S THE PROPOSAL HAS TWO COMPONENTS. IT'S 126-UNIT AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, KNOWN AS CARITAS HOMES TO BE OPERATED BY BURBANK HOUSING AND HOMELESS SUPPORT FACILITY KNOWN AS CARITAS CENTER TO BE OPERATED BY CATHOLIC CHARITIES. CARITAS CENTER WOULD CENTRALIZE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED ON THE SITE BY CON SOLDING THEM INTO A HOMELESS U.S. SERVICES FACILITY TOTALING APPROXIMATELY 46,587 SQUARE FEET AND 3 STORIS IN HEIGHT.

TERE WERE SEVERAL ATTENDEES THAT WERE OPPOSED TO THE DEMOLITION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES WITHIN THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT, AS WELL AS THEY WERE OPPOSED TO THE OFFICIAL SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. SOME FELT STRONGLY THAT THE MUTT STORY STRUCTURES WERE OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHERS SUPPORTED THE PROJECT AND ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE HOMELESS SERVICES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SUPPORTERS ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE OF A SITE THAT IS BOUNDED BY A LARGE MALL PARKING GARAGE AND HIGHWAY 101. AND IT WILL ASO FULFILL AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NEED.

FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING, NOTICES WERE MAILED TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS AND TENANTS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET. WE KEPT THAT EXPANDED RAID UAS. ON-SITE SIGNS WERE INSTALLED ON EACH STREET FRONTAGE AND NOTICE IN THE PAPER. THE SAME OCCURRED FOR THE MARCH 3RD CITY COUNCIL MEET AND IT WAS SEPARATE NOTICE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND SEPARATE SIGNS ON THE PROPERTY AND SECOND NOTICE IN THE PRESS DEMOCRAT. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING ENTITLEMENTS: IT'S A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, A SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT, A REZONING, A TENTATIVE MAP AND A MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. AT THE TIME THEY ORIGINALLY APPLIED A MAJOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WAS REQUIRED, BUT THE CODE WAS UPDATED TO ON THE REQUIRE MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR EMERGENCY SHELTER. SO WE'RE ASKING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE FOLLOWING SEVEN ITEMS: TO CERTIFY THE EIR, TO RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF FACT, RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT, RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THE REZONING, RECOMMEND APPROVAL O THE MINOR USE PERMIT AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THE TENTATIVE MAP. IN THIS PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY -- IS SUCCESSFUL TONIGHT AND AT CITY COUNCIL, THERE ARE FURTHER ACTIONS REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT THE PROJECT. THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A DESIGN MEETING WITH THE DESIGN REVIEW BARD AND CULTURAL HERITAGE BOARD AND CHP WOULD REVIEW THE MAJOR LANDMARK ALTERATION PERMIT FOR DEMOLITION AND ALSO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION. BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND THEN THE DRB WOULD REVIEW THE MAJOR DESIGN REVIEW PERMIT FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AND THEY WOULD ALSO LOOK AT THE DENSITY BONUS CONCESSIONS, THE HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN CONCESSIONS AND TE PROPOSED PARKING REDUCTION. AND FOR THIS MEETING NOTICES WILL BE MAIL SIMILARLY AS THEY WERE FOR THIS MEETING. SO OWNERS AND TENANTS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET FOUR ON-SITE SIGNS AND NOTICE IN TE PAPER. IN ADDITION, A FUTURE REQUIRED ACTION IS CONVEYANCE O SOME REMNANT PARCELS. ON FEBRUARY 24TH THIS WEEK THE HOUSING AUTHORITY TOOK ACTION APPROVING CONVEYANCE OF FOUR PARCELS LOCATED ON 6" STREET BETWEEN A STREET AND MORTGAGE STREET TO THE CITY. THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO APPROVE ACCEPTANCE OF THE REMNANT PARCELSERS AREVATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AND TRANSFER OF THE REMAINING LAND TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54222 AND THAT THE PROPERTY FIRST BE OFERED AS LOCATION FOR LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSING. THE PROJECT SITE HAS QUITE A MIX OF DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS ON THE SITE. AS YU CAN SEE, IT'S BIFURCATED NORTH TO SOUTH WITH DIFFERENT DESIGNATIONS, THE PARCEL AS LONG AMONG OTHER THINGS STREET AS MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL WITH A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF 18 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE APPLICANTS REQUEST A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE PROJECTS LAND USE DESIGNATION TO TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED-USE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR HIGHER INTENSITY OF RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF A TRANSIT FACILITY. THE TRANSIT VILLAGE AND MIXED-USE DESIGNATION REQUIRES A MINIMUM HOUSING DENSITY OF 40 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND THERE IS NO MAXIMUM DENSITY REQUIREMENT FOR THIS DESIGNATION. AS PART OF THE PROJECT, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TO RECONFIGURE THE BLOCK AND SUBDIVIDED UNDERLYING LOTS INTO THREE PARCELS. THE TWO PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES, THE NORTHERN PARCELS, EACH WITH 63 UITS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED ON .69 ACRES AND .68 ACRES, AND THIS WILL RESULT IN A DENSITY OF APPROXIMATELY 91 TO 92 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. CURRENTLY THE TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED-USE IS THE ONLY GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR THIS TYPE OF DENSITY. AS PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT WE TYPICALLY ASK FOUR QUESTIONS REGARDING WHY A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS SITUATION -- OR IN EACH SITUATION? THE CURRENT GENERAL PLAN LIMITS THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY ON THE SITE. THE PROJECT SITE BENEFITS FROM PROXIMITY TO MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION AND PROMOTES SEVERAL GENERAL PLAN GOALS, AND POLICIES, TO ENCOURAGE DENSE, PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA. AS YOU MIKE BE AWARE, WE'RE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE. AND THE REASON BEING IS THE ORIGINAL PLAN ADOPTED IN 2007 PROJECTED THAT B 2027 WE WOULD HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3400 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS, ON THE 100 UNITS WERE DEVELOPED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 275 UNITS APPROVED, BUT NOT CONSTRUCTED. SO WE'RE WAY BEHIND. AND THE COUNCIL HAS ON THEIR WEBSITE HAS POSTED THEIR COUNCIL PRIORITIES. NO. 1 IS RECOVERY/REBUILD AFTER THE FIRE. NO. 2 IS COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STRATEGY. 3 IS OPEN GOVERNMENT TSK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS. 4 IS DOWNTOWN HOUSING, AND 5 IS HOMELESSNESS. SO THREE OUT OF THE FIVE DIRECTLY APPLY TO THIS PROJECT, OR SORRY FOUR OUT OF FIVE DIRECTLY APPLY TO THIS PROJECT. IN FACT, A TIER 1 CITY COUNCIL GOAL IS FOR THE CITY TO BRING A MIX OF AFFORDABLE TO MARKET TRANSIT-ORIENTED HOUSING TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF THE CITY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO THE CITY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE HOUSING, BUT INCREASES WALKABILITY AND REDUCES GREENHOUSE GASES AND CREATE A BTTER QUALITY OF LIFE AND INCREASES FOOT TRAFFIC TO LOCAL BUSINESSES. THE 2035 SANTA ROSA GENERAL PLAN ENVISIONS TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED-USE TO BE DESIGNED AND ORIENTED TO CREATE A CENTRAL NODE OF ACTIVITY OR NEAR THE TRANSIT FACILITY. THIS PROJECT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO BUS AND TRAIN TRAVEL. HOUSING DENSITIS ARE REQUIRED TO BE A MINIMUM OF 40 UNITS PER ACRE. AND THEN THIS DESIGNATION WOULD PROMOTE HIGHER DENSITY FOR A PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY BORDERED ON TWO SIDES BY A THREE-STORY PARKING GARAGE AND TALL FREEWAY SOUND WALL. THE MAINTENANCE OF THE H-DISTRICT OVERLAY WOULD ALSO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL DESIGN REVIEW COMPONENT FOR ANY NEW CONSTRUCTION WITH AN HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT. SO WOULD ADD AN ADDED LAYER OF REVIEW FOR ANY TYPE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE THE PARCELS ALSO HAVE SOME MIXED ZONING. THE PARCELS ALONG MORGAN STREET ARE ZONED MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND THE PARCELS ALONG ARC STREET ZONED NEIGHBORHOOD-COMMERCIAL. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD ROZONE THE PROJECT SITE IS TO TV-M-H-SA TO ALLOW FOR PROPOSED MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS. THE TVM OR TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED-USE ZONING DISTRICT ISA PLIED TO AREAS AGAIN, WITHIN APPROXIMATELY ONE-QUARTER MILE OF TRANSIT FACILITY, AND IS APPROPRIATE FOR MIX OF HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL USES. AND IT'S DESIGNED TO BE ORIENTED AS A CENTRAL NODE OF ACTIVITY AT OR NEAR A TRANSIT FACILITY. SEARLE TO THE GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION, THE MINIMUM EAST DENSITY IS 40 DWELLING UNITS FOR ACRE. THE ENTIRE PROJECT SITE AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE DASHED H IS WITHIN THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT. IN ADDITION THE PARCELS ALONG A STREET ARE WITHIN THE STATION AREA COMBINING DISTRICT, OR THE DOUBLE STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN. AND THAT SA DESIGNATION IS INTENDED TO ENHANCE AND REINFORCE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN THE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA. AND CREATE ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE COMFORTABLE FOR PEDESTRIANS. THE TVM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN. THE IT REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF TWO STORIES, CARITAS CENTER IS PROPOSED UP TO THREE STORIS AND AND THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND EMERGENCY SHELTER USES ARE ALLOWED IN THE ZONING DSTRICT WITH MINOR USE PERMIT. THIS PROJECT IS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S GOT A MIXED DESIGNATION FOR THIS AS WELL. THE PARCELS ALONG MORGAN STREET ARE WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN'S HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL SUBAREA. THE PARCELS ALONG A STREET ARE WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN'S COURTHOUSE SQUARE SUBAREA. AND THOSE ARE TWO DISTINCT SUBAREAS. THE COURTHOUSE SQUARE SUBAREA IS MORE A COMMERCIAL CORE FOR SANTA ROSA AND CONSISTS OF MIX OF RETAIL, OFFICE USES, AND IT'S ENVISIONED TO BE DEVELOPED INTO A VIBRANT MIXED-USE AREA WITH NEW HOUSING. WHEREAS, THE HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL SUBAREA CONSISTS OF THE FOUR HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICTS. AND THIS PROJECT IS WITHIN THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN ENVISIONS THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF EXISTING RESIDENTIAL CHARTING OF THE HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL SUBAREA. AS STATED BEFORE THE PROPOSED PROJECT WHICH WILL RANGE FROM 2 STORIES TO 4 STORIES WOULD REQUIRE AMENDMENT FR THE COURTHOUSE SQUARE SUBAIR, SINCE THE DENSITY AND HEIGHT OF THE NEW DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THAT HISTORIC RESIDENTIAL SUBAREA IS LIMITED TO THREE STORIES. SO WHILE THE TVM ZONING DISTRICT GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION DOES NOT HAVE A DENSITY LIMIT, HEIGHT WILL LIMIT THE PROJECT. THE OVERALL HEIGHT LIMITS THE DENSITY OF THE PROJECT. IN ADDITION THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF ROUNDABOUTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF 7TH STREET AND A, AND 6TH AND A AND INCLUDES THE MODIFICATION OF THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN TO INCLUDE THE ROUNDABOUTS AT A SPECIFIED 80' DIAMETER. REDUCING THE DIAMETER OF THE ROUNDABOUTS T 80' ALLOW TRUCK TRAFFIC TO ACCESS THE DOWNTOWN PLAZA. TE TRUCK ACCESS LIMITATION WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PEDESTRIAN GOALS OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AND WILL NOT INHIBIT EMERGENCY VEHICLE TRAFFIC AT ALL. PERCITY CODE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW IS REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT WITHIN THE HISTORIC COMBINING DISTRICT. ON APRIL 19, BEFORE TEY SUBMITTED THEIR ENTITLEMENTS THE APPLICANTS PRESENTED A VERY DIFFERENT PLAN. THEY HAD NOT YET ACQUIRED THE TWO LITTLE HOUSES ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. AND THE CHB AND DRB PROVIDED VERY USEFUL COMMENTS AND C OR B THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY USEFUL AND NEEDED PROJECT FOR THE CITY, BUT THEY HAD RSERVATIONS ABOUT DEMOLITION OF STRUCTURES WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THEY ALSO HAD CONCERNED THAT THE H DISTRICT DOES IMPOSE A HEIGHT LIMIT AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROJECT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE SIZE, HEIGHT, SETBACKS OF THE DISTRICT AND ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THE APPLICANT LOOK AT WAYS TO ADAPTIVELY REUSE THE SITE AND THOUGHT THE DESIGN SHOULD REFLECT THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE. THE DRB COMMENDED THE PROJECT FOR ITS 100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WERE CONFLICTED WITH THE DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES, BUT LIKED IT WAS A LEED GOLD BUILDING AND HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE DESIGN. THEY WANTED THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITEMENT. THEY THOUGHT THE PROJECT -- THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED IT WAS DESIGNED IN A CARING WAY, BEYOND BARRACK STYLE HOUSING THAT YOU MIGHT SE IN OLDER AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS AND THEY LIKED THE CENTRAL COURTYARDS. OCTOBER 16TH, CHB AND DRB REVIEWED THE MOST RECENT PROJECT DESIGN. AND THE CH B WANTED THE APPLICANT TO REVISIT HOW THE BUILDINGS FIT IN THE HISTORIC [STKR-EUGTS/] AND TO REFLECT MORE ON CONTRIBUTORS. AND THEY STILL HAD GREAT CONCERN OVER THE DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURES AD THEY ASKED THAT THE APPLICANT WORK MORE WITH THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORS TO GAIN MORE SUPPORT. THEY ALSO FELT IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO GO TALLER, BUT THE BUILDING WOULD NEED TO BALANCE WITH THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE CHB ALSO THOUGHT THE PROJECT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE INSTITUTIONAL IN CHARACTER AND THEY SUGGESTED ADDING MRE DETAIL WORK IT'S GOS UP IN HEIGHT. AND TO BREAK UP SOME FLAT SURFACES. THE DRB GENERALLY LIKED THE PROJECT. THEY WANTED MORE OF THE CHARACTER OF THE CARITAS CENTER TO CARRY OVER TO THE CARITAS HOMES COMPONENT. AND THEY HAD SOME -- THEY WANTED THE APPLICANT TO EXPLORE MORE WAYS TO PROVIDE SAFETY AND SECURITY FR RESIDENTS. AND THEY WANTED THE TWO PROJECTS TO BE MORE CONNECTED IN SME WAY TO, CREATE MORE COHESION BETWEEN THE TWO COMPONENTS. AND TO ADD SOME LIVELINESS TO THE HOMES COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. THESE WERE THE RENDERINGS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO THE CHB AND DRB. THERE IS THE CENTER ENTRANCE ON 6TH AND 6TH AND MORGAN STREET RENDERINGS AND THE PARKING GARAGE ON THE IMAGE. HERE'S 6TH AND A STREET, 7TH AND A STREET, 6TH AND A WOULD BE THE CENTER AND 7TH AND A WOULD BE THE HOMES COMPONENT. HERE IS 7TH AND MORGAN. MORGAN STREET. THIS IS THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT AND AS CAN YOU SEE, THE PROJECT IS AT THE SOUTHERNMOST END OF THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT. AND THE PROPOSED PROJECT INCLUDES DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING FACILITIES ON ALL STRUCTURES ON THE PROJECT SITE. THESE ARE THE TWO STRUCTURES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AS CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES IN THE EIR. IT'S THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 520 MORGAN STREET AND FOUR-PLEX BUILDING ALT MILES AN HOURING STREET AND IN ADDITION, STAFF HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENT LETTERS IN SUPPORT OF THE PROPOSED HIGHER DENSITY NEAR DOWNTOWN AND TRANSIT AND SUPPORT FOR HOMELESSNESS SERVICES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENTS, BUT WE ALSO RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENTS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND COMMENTS REGARDING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS. THE FIRST CONCERN IS WITH THE PROVISION OF ADEQUATE PARKING AND PARKING IMPACTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE DOWNTOWN AREA SPECIFIC PLAN DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY PARKING FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES. THEREFORE, THERE'S NO PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR CARITAS CENTER. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT WILL BE PROVIDING 45 SPACES WHEN THEY ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 25. THEY ALSO -- THE APPLICANT PROVIDED A PARKING STUDY THAT CONCLUDED THAT BASED O THE STANDARD PARKING DEMAND RATES CARITAS HOMES WOULD BE EXPECTED TO GENERATE PEAK PARKING DEMAND FOR 49 SPACES AND THE PROPOSED PARKING SUPPLY 54 SPACES FOR THE HOMES COMPONENT, WHILE IT DOES NOT MEET CITY REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE EXCEED THE ANTICIPATED PEAK PARKING DEMAND. THE PARKING STUDY FURTHER STATED GIVEN THE PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT WITH ADEQUATE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITY IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING SUPPLY WOULD BE ADEQUATE. AND HERE IS A PARKING CHART. SO YOU CAN SEE THE EMERGENCY SHELTER, THE NUMBER OF SPACES REQUIRED BY CODE ARE 25 THE APPLICANT PROPOSES 45 AND FOR THE HOMES COMPONENT, THEY ARE PROPOSING 54 PARKING SPACES. THE NEXT CONCERN WAS WITH THE HISTORIC VALUE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES. IT'S TRUE THE PROJECT INVOLVES THE DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCES. RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACT. MITIGATION FOR THE LOSS OF STRUCTURES WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PREPARATION OF SALVAGE REPORT AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTERPRETATIVE MATERIALS, DOCUMENTATION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES, AND THAT MITIGATION WOULD NOT REDUCE THE IMPACT TO LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT-LEVEL. THE NEXT CONCERN WAS WITH BIOHAZARDOUS WASTE SUCH AS NEEDLES AND MMRP REQUIRES THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY DISPOSED BY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS BY OBTAINING A HOME-GENERATED SHARPS CONSOLIDATION POINT PERMIT FROM SONOMA COUNTY AT THE SITE. THE OTHER CONCERNS WERE WITH TRAFFIC AND CUMULATIVE TRAFFIC. THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN IS TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH WALKING AND BICYCLING, AND THE SPECIFYING AREA CONTAINS WELL-DEVELOPED PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE NETWORK AND INCLUDING SMART MULTI-USE PATH. THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS TO EFFECT AT INTERSECTIONS MAY INCLUDE SIGNALIZATION OR ROUNDABOUTS THAT WOULD ENHANCE BOTH VEHICLE, BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY OF WHICH THE APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. THE OTHER CONCERN IS WITH A POTENTIAL INCREASE IN CALLS FOR SERVICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY. ONE OF THE UNIT COMPONENTS OF THE CARITAS CENTER I THE PROJECT WOULD INCLUDE A MEDICAL SERVICE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. THAT MAY HELP REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CALLS FOR SERVICE BY PROVIDING TRAINED MEDICAL STAFF, WHO COULD RESPOND TO MINOR INCIDENTS ON-SITE, AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR MEDICAL NEEDS. THE CITY DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD RESULT IN THE NEED FOR A NEW POLICE STATION OR FIRE STATION, NOR THE ALTERATION OF THE CITY'S EXISTING POLICE OR FIRE STATIONS. STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION -- THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION BY RESOLUTIONS CERTIFY THE EIR, ADOPT THE FINDINGS OF FACT, STATE OF OVERVIEW RIDING CONSIDERATIONS, APPROVE A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND RETAIL BUSINESS TO TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED-USE AND APPROVE A SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE ALL PROJECTS - ALL PROJECT PARCELS WITHIN THE COURTHOUSE SQUARE SUBAREA AND SPECIFY THE ROUNDABOUT DIAMETERS AND ADOPT REZONING OF THE PROJECT SITE TO TV-M-H-SA AND TO APPROVE FOR THE EMERGENCY SHELTER AND APPROVE A TENTATIVE MAP FOR CARITAS VILLAGE. WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS. >> THANK YOU, KRISTINAE. I'M A SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND WITH ME THIS EVENING IS TREVOR, OUR SENIOR PRINCIPAL. AND WE ALSO HAVE DANIEL OUR ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN. AND I'M GOING TO JUST BRIEFLY RUN THROUGH AN INTRODUCTION OF THE CEQA PROCESS AND THEN TREVOR WILL BE PICKING UP AND GOING INTO THE DOCUMENT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL. SO PURPOSE OF CEQA IS TO IDENTIFY, DISCLOSE, AND CONSIDER THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF PROPOSED DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS THAT LEAD AGENCIES CONSIDERING FOR APPROVAL OF THE EIRS MUST BE PREPARED PURSUANT TO CQA GUIDELINES. CEQA REQUIRES THAT STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF PROJECTS OVER WHICH THEY HAVE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY, BEFORE ACTING ON THOSE PROJECTS. AND WE HAVE PROVIDED THE PUBLIC RESOURCE CODE CITATIONS THERE FOR YOU. BRIEFLY PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE AT CURRENTLY WITH THE CEQA PROCESS. SO AS KRISTINAE MENTIONED THE SCOPING PERIOD BEGAN JANUARY 24, 2019 THROUGH FEBRUARY 22, 2019. WE HELD SCOPING MEETING ON FEBRUARY 6TH, 2019 AT THE ROUND BARN AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET QUITE A FEW PEOPLE AND WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD COMMENTS AND TOOK SOME OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION -- TOO THOSE COMMENTS INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE PREPARED THE DRAFT EIR. THE DRAFT EIR WAS ISSUED FOR PUBLIC AGENCY REVIEW ON NOVEMBER 15, 2019 AND CIRCULATED FOR THE STATUTORY REQUIRED PERIOD OF 45 DAYS, AND THAT COMMENT PERIOD ENDED -- OR THAT REVIEW PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2019. WE HAVE PREPARED THE FINAL EIR, WHERE WE HVE RESPONDED TO COMMENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED ON THE DRAFT EIR, CLARIFIED A FEW AREAS IN THE EIR, WHERE WE NOTED THERE WERE SOME REVISIONS REQUIRED TO MAKE CERTAIN THINGS A LITTLE CLEARER. SO YOU WILL SEE THAT IN THE FINAL ER, WHERE THERE'S REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT EIR NOTED. AND THAT WAS RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 3RD, 2020. AND WE'RE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE DRAFT EIR TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, TAKE QUESTIONS, AND DEPENDING ON YOUR ACTIONS, THE DECISION ON THE EIR WOULD BE MADE MARCH 3RD, 2020 BY THE CITY COUNCIL. AND WITH THAT I WILL HAND IT OVER TO TREVOR. >> THANK YOU, EELENA. I'M A PRINCIPAL WITH STANTEC CONSULTING AND OVERSAW THE PREPARATION OF THIS .COM. >> CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICRO PHOBE? >> IS THAT BETTER? ONE THING TO POINT OUT RELATED TO CEQA DOCUMENT IT'S NOT THAT IT'S UNCOMMON, BUT NT AS NORMAL. I WAS A FOCUSED EIR AND THAT MEAN AS PART OF THE SCOPING PROCESS WE PREPARED AN INITIAL STUDY, WHICH COMPREHENSIVELY LOOKED AT ALL RESOURCE CONSIDERATIONS UNDER APPENDIX G CHECKLIST CRITERIA AND WE SOLICITED FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC TO INCLUDE FROM THE FOCUS ITSELF? DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR THE SCOPING WITH WE RECEIVED COMMENT STREETS THE COMMUNITY THAT MADE US REVISE OUR APPROACH AND ADOPTED IT TO ADD ADDITIONAL RESOURCES BACK INTO THE ANALYSIS TO ADRESS CONCERNS THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS RAISED. THOSE WERE PARTICULARLY RELATED TO HAZARDS AND PUBLIC SERVICES. IN THE NOTICE OF PREPARATION AND STUDY INCLUDED IN APPENDIX A OF THE EIR. SO GIVEN THIS IS A RATHER COMPLEX PROJECT, AS YOU CAN HEAR KRISTINAE WENT OVER THE ENTITLEMENTS:EIR CULMINATE THOSE TO DISCERN THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND TO DO SO WE PREPARED A NUMBER OF TECHNICAL STUDIES TO SUPPORT THE ANALYSIS THESE WERE PROVIDED BY THE CITY AND BY THE CONSULTANT. THERE WAS A AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS ANALYSIS PREPARED. THERE WAS A HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT, BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES EVALUATION AND ARCHEOLOGICKAN SURVEY REPORT, HISTORIC RESOURCES REPORT, TRAFFIC AMY, AND NOISE ANALYSIS. AND THESE ARE STAND-ALONE TECHNICAL REPORTS WHICH ARE PROVIDED AS APPENDICES TO THE EIR, AS WELL AS THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE IN THE MORE PLANNING-CENTRIC SECTIONS. THERE'S A LOT OF TEXT ON HERE. SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH IT. THIS IS YOUR EIR IN ONE SLIDE. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CONVEY TO YOU HERE IS SIMPLY THAT THE IMPACTS WHICH ARE LISTED ATOP THE PAGE OF THE SLIDE, FOUND IN THE DRAFT EIR SUMMARIZE THOSE WHICH REQUIRE MITIGATION. FOR AIR QUALITY THE MITIGATION PRESCRIBED AS COMMON CONSTRUCTION CONTROL, RELATED TO AIR QUALITY MITIGATION, SUCH AS IDLING TIMES, DUST CONTROL AND THINGS OF THAT NAUGHTEDER. AIR IMPACT 3 REQUIRES MITIGATION SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE USE AND ITS PROXIMITY TO THE FREEWAY, AS A RESULT OF EXPOSURE FROM DIESEL PARTICULATE EMISSIONS AND SPECIFICATION FILTERS REQUIRED FOR THE BUILDINGS. BIO IMPACT ONE IS A VERY COMMON IMPACT RESULTING IN TWO VERY COMMON MITIGATIONS, WHEN YOU HAVE POTENTIAL FOR NESTING BIRDS, AND THE SECOND IS RELATED TO TREE REPLANTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY'S TREE ORDINANCE. FOR NOISE, THE NOISE MITIGATION WAS NORMAL CONSTRUCTION MEASURES RELATED TO TIMES OF SKOESERURE AND SURROUNDING LAND USESS, FOLLOWING THE CITY'S NOISE ORDINANCE AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY. FOR TRANSPORTATION, BCAUSE THE SITE IS RATHER CONSTRAINED, AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT ON EITHER SIDE WITH THE MODIFICATIONS, WE PRESCRIBED THE NEED TO HAVE A CONSTRUCT MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH WILL CONTROL THE STAGING AND LOCATION OF THE ACTIVITY. LASTLY THE MITIGATION FOR HAZARDS, ARE RELATED TO BIOHAZARDS RELATED TO NOT ONLY NEEDLES OR PARAPHERNALIA, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA IN THE AREA, BUT ALSO THERE WAS CONCERN RELATED TO THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURE FOR ASBESTOOS AND LEAD. THE ITEM OF A BIT MORE DEPTH ARE RELATED TO CULTURAL RESOURCES. SO WITH THAT, I WANTED TO GIVE IT ALY BIT MORE AIR TIME TO PRESENT TO YOU. ONE IS TAT THERE IS FOUR DISTINCT MEASURES. ONE IS A SALVAGE REPORT. THIS IS A COMMON INDUSTRY-APPROVED APPROACH FOR TRYING TO DETERMINE SALVAGE RELATED TO THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES. THE SECOND I A PUBLIC REPORT DOCUMENTATION, ALSO VERY COMMON. THIRD IS INTERPRETIVE MATERIALS AND SIGNAGE TO BETTER REPRESENT THE STRUCTURES IMPACTED AND [TPO-URBL/] FOURTH IS COMPATIBLE DESIGN APPROACH. WE'RE GLAD TO TALK TO ANY OF THESE IN-DEPTH AND WALK YOU THROUGH THE ANALYSIS PRESENTED IN THE DOCUMENT, BUT AS A FIVE-MINUTE OVERVIEW ON A FEW HUNDRED PAGES, THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. AS PART PART OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, WHEN WE GO THROUGH AND PREPARE THE ANALYSIS, THE NEXT STEP THAT WE HAVE IS TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW THE PROJECT'S IMPACTS CAN DERIVE ALTERNATIVES OR HOW WE CAN IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVES, WHICH WOULD REDUCE OUR PROJECT'S IMPACTS? SO THE KEY THING FOR YOU TO MAKE REFERENCE TO HERE IS THAT THE ALTERNATIVES HAVE TO BE FORMULATED TO REDUCTION ONE OR MORE OF THE PROJECT'S IMPACTS. FOR EXAMPLE, I COULDN'T SAY WHY A BETTER USE IN MIND, BUT I WANT TO PUT A CAR WASH HERE. SO THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY TO REDUCE AN IMPACT THAT WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ANALYSIS AND THERE DOING SO THERE IS AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED NOT OM BY THE PROJECT AND DERIVED NOT ONLY FROM THE CONSULTING TEAM, BUT THE CITY AS WELL. WE PUT TOGETHER BASICALLY ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERED AND REJECTED FROM FURTHER CONSIDERATION THROUGH THE ANALYSIS AND THOSE ARE LISTED HERE. THE FIRST ALTERNATIVE WAS AN INCREASED DENSITY ALTERNATIVE. AND ALTERNATIVE SITE LOCATION. AND SITES REDESIGN. SO THOSE WERE THREE WHICH WE CONSIDERED, WHICH WE DETERMINED BASED ON OBJECTIVITIES WOULD NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LESS IMPACT. THE NEXT STEP THROUGH THE ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATION IS TO EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES WHICH WOULD. SO WHICH ONES MADE THE CUT? STATUSLY REQUIRED TO LOOK AT SOMETHING CALLED THE NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE. SO THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS. THERE WAS ALTERNATIVE 2, A SITE REDESIGN. ALTERNATIVE 3 IS A PARTIAL PRESERVATION ALTERNATIVE. THERE'S A QUICK REFERENCE TABLE FOR YOU, WHICH I WOULD TELL YOU TO START WERE ON TABLE 5-1, PAGE 5 -- PARDON ME, TABLE 5-1, PAGE 19 THAT HAS THE IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTIONS. SO IN PREPARING A PROJECT THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS, THE CITY WILL HAVE TO MAKE THREE DISTINCT FINDINGS FROM OUR CEQA AND STATE STATUTE REQUIRING THREE FINDINGS TO THE SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE FINDINGS FIND THEIR WAY INTO A STATEMENT OF OVERVIEW RIDING CONSIDERATIONS. THAT IS WHY THE CITY HAS TO MAKE THOSE. SO MOVINGED FOR WITH THE PROJECT AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, THREE FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED HERE. AND THEY ARE ALSO PRESENTED IN THE RESOLUTION. WE'RE HAPPY TO CLARIFY ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, OR HOW THIS PROCESS WOULD PLAY OUT FOR YOU THIS EVENING? AS CITY STAFF AND ELENA MENTIONED WE HAVE OUR ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN FOR ANY OTHER RESOURCE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> IF ANY I WILL TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO THE APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES, AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, YOU FOR BEING HERE, TO CONSIDER THIS VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR THE CITY, AND THANKS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THANKS TO THE CITY STAFF THAT HAS WORKED HARD ON THIS PROGRAM. AND IT'S DIFFICULT WORK, AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK THAT GOES INTO A PROJECT LIKE THIS. SANTA ROSA AS WE ALL KNOW IS IN A HOUSING/HOMELESSNESS EMERGENCY AND DECLARED BY THE CITY IN 2016 OF THIS EMERGENCY AFFECTED US ALL AND CATHOLIC CHARITIS IS MAKING PROGRESS. WE KNOW WHAT WORKS GETTING PEOPLE INTO LOUSING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE . THAT IS GOOD, BUT THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. MORE IS NEEDED. THERE'S STILL ALMOST 3,000 PEOPLE HOMELESS IN SONOMA COUNTY AND THESE ARE OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED. FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY REUSING A 104-YEAR-OLD HOSPITAL AS A FAMILY SHELTER, AND TWO-BEDROOM HOME AS ENGAGEMENT CENTER. WE'RE LIMITED BY OUR PHYSICAL RESOURCES, AND FACILITIES. THE FACILITIES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DO THE WORK WE DO. THE BUILDINGS ARE SIMPLY WORN-OUT. THEY ABSOLUTELY LIMIT OUR EFFECTIVENESS TO PUT PEOPLE INTO HOUSING AND WE CAN COLLECTIVELY DO BETTER OF THE CARITAS VILLAGE IS A UNIQUE SOLUTION HAD A INTEGRATES LIGHTNINGS TO BE A MAJOR PART OF THE SOLUTION TO TE HOMELESS TH CRISIS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND CARITAS COMES FROM THE LATIN AND MEANS "LOVE FOR ALL," AND SPEAKS TO OUR MISSION. CARITAS CENTER AND CARITAS HOMES AND CARITAS CENTER IS A FAMILY SHELTER, PROGRAMION AND DOLLAR' OFFICE ADDRESSING BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEDGE HEALTH NEEDS RECUPERATIVE CARETOR THOSE READY TO BE DISCHARGE READY FROM THE HOSPITAL AND NO HOME. THAT IS A PROGRAM VERY STOKELY SUPPORTED BY OUR LOCAL HOSPITALS, DROP-IN CENTER TO ENGAGE THOSE IN NEED OF HOUSING AND TO PROVIDE DIGNITY SERVICES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, ALL FOCUSED ON ONE THEME, PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SOLUTIONS. AND WE KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. WE HAVE ENGAGED HOUSING LOCATORS TO FIND UNITS FOR PEOPLE, WORK WITH LANDLORDS AND WE HAVE ENGABLINGED HOUSING NAVIGATORS WHO WORK WITH THE CLIENTS TO BE ABLE TO FIND SUITABLE HOUSING AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT. CARITAS HOMES IS THE OTHER COMPONENT. WE'RE PARTNERING WITH BURBANK HOUSING TO PROVIDE 126 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT ABOUT HALF OF THOSE ARE DEDICATED TO THE HOMELESS, PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HOMELESS OR IN THREAT OF LOSING THEIR HOMES AND THE REMAINDER FOR FAMILIES. CARITAS HOMES DIRECTSINGLY ADDRESSES HOTELNESS IN OUR SOCIETY AND INCLUDES ALL THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO REDUCE HOMELESSNESS. IT'S A MAJOR PART OF THE SOLUTION FOR THIS COMMUNITY. CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND BURBANK HOUSING ARE READY TO GO. WE HAVE ENGAGED THE PUBLIC AND NEIGHBORHOOD IN NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS REGARDING ONGOING SERVICES AND CRITAS VILLAGE AND HELD QUARTERLY MEETINGS FOR HAD YEARS AND SPONSORED CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGNS AND MUCH MORE. THIS ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH WILL CONTINUE. YOU HAVE SEEN THAT WE HAVE SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS DOWN AND NOW READY TO START CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. WE HAVE SITE CONTROL. FUND FOR BOTH CARITAS CENTER AND HOMES WITH STRONG SUPPORT FROM COMMUNITY. THIS IS URGENT. DELAYS THIS THE IN PROJECT JEOPARDIZE FUTURE FUNDING [STRA-EFPBL/]S AND STREAMS AND EVERY DAY WE SEE THE SUFFERING OF THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE A HOME, WHO DON'T HAVE HEALTH CRE, WOULD DON'T HAVE SERVICES AND WE WANT TO MOVE TO A SOLUTION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED. WE REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE CARITAS VILLAGE PROJECT AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. IT'S TIME TO GET IT DONE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR ARCHITECT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR DESIGN. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO TELL YOU FOLKS TO MOVE IT FORWARD, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN ADVANCER OR CAN I DO IT MYSELF? NEXT SLIDE. AS STAFF HAS SHOWED YOU, IF WE CAN GO S TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? IS THAT WORKING? I SEE IT SHOWING TWO AT A TIME. IT'S THE NATURE OF THE DEMONSTRATION. IF WE CAN GO BACK ONE SLIDE THEN? AS STAFF AS WELL-PRESENTED ALREADY, THE PROJECT REALLY HAS TWO PARTS OF THE PERMANENT HOUSING ON THE NORTH END OF THE SIDE AND THE SERVICE CENTER ON THE SOUTH END OF THE SITE AND BEING THE LARGEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT, WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO RELATE IT TO THE TWO LARGE BUILDINGS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ST. ROSE, AND THE MUSEUM. THE CARITAS CENTER IS JUST RELATING TO THE PARKING GARAGES ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH REALLY HAVE NOT MUCH ARCHITECTURAL VALUE. NEXT. NEXT PLEASE. ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, THE PRIMARY ENTRANCES INTO THE FACILITY TO THE NORTH, THE HOUSING IS FROM 7TH STREET AND TO THE CENTER, THE FAMILY SHELTER ENTERS FROM TE RIGHT SIDE ON A STREET AND MAIN ENTRANCE FROM 6TH STREET AT THE CENTER AND THE DAY CENTER, IS IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER AT THE INTERSECTION OF MORGAN AND 6TH. WE DO THE OBLIGATORY SHADOW STUDIS AND FOUND NNE OF THE SHADOWS CAST REALLY FAR EXCEPT ON THE SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR, EARLY INING MORE AS ALL DO BUILDINGS IN NEIGHBORHOOD CAST SHADOWS, BUT WE HAD NO SHADOW IMPACTS O THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORING HOMES. NEXT. THE IMAGES ON THE LEFT OF THE CARITAS CENTER, WE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE LOWER RIGHT IMAGE OF THE LEFT-HAND CLUSTER. IT'S THE INTERSECTION OF 6TH AND A. IT'S ACTIVATED BY FAMILIES LIVING ABOV AND CLASSROOMS WITH SOME OFFICE AS THE JOINT. SO THAT THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF STREET LIFE THERE AND EYES ON THE STREETS. ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THE SERVICE CENTER AND DAY CENTER ON THE FAR LEFT. AND THE COURTYARD ENTRY POINT. THE UPPER TWO IMAGES ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE MAIN FACADE ALONG 6TH STREET WITH THE MAIN ENTRANCE. WE TRIED TO GIVE EXPRESSION IN A MORE PLAYFUL AND INVITING WAY, BUT USING NATURAL TONES AND MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA. ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS THE HOUSING, IN THAT LOWER RIGHT ON MORGAN STREET. YOU CAN SE THAT WE DO GO TO FOUR STORIES AND KEPT THAT MORE TO THE SOUTHERN END, NEAREST TO THE CARITAS CENTER AND THE IMAGINE DIRECTLY ABOVE AND TO LEFT OF IT, YOU SEE ALONG 7TH STREET, WE HAVE ONLY TWO-STORY TOWNHOUSES. MORE IN CHARACTER WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEN SETBACK FROM THAT IS THE FOUR-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING BEYOND, AND AS I SAID EARLIER, THESE ARE MEANT TO BE CONTEMPORARY COUSINS OF THE GRANDER BUILDINGS PRESENTLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ST. ROSE AND THE MUSEUM. THE OTHER TWO IMAGES ON THE TOP RIGHT ARE OF THE MUSE, THE FORMER ALLEY WILL BE CONVERTED INTO A MUSE FOR THE RESIDENTS TO ENJOY. NEXT. FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS THE LANDSCAPE AND WE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO DRAW TE LANDSCAPE UP ON THO AND IN FRONT AND BE PRT OF THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE FLOWERING VINES AND IT SENDS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT THIS IS AN INVITING PLACE. SO THAT THE IMAGES ON THE RIGHT, IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE, BECAUSE THEY ARE SMALLER BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO PER SCREEN. BUT THERE'S A DOTTED LINE ALL THE ACROSS THE GROUND FLOOR FACADES, DEMONSTRATING THAT THROUGH TRELLISS AND GREEN SCREENS AND OTHER DEVICE S TO BRING THAT TO THE BUILDING, AND THAT IS BASICALLY MY QUICK URBAN DESIGN OVERVIEW. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, WE CAN GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL AND I HAVE IMAGES OF THE FLOOR PLAN, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOW THE FLOOR PLAN RELATE S TO THE SURROUNDING STREETS? >> GOOD EVENING, PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, MY NAME IS REBECCA KENDAL THE CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND I HAD THE HONOR OF WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR FIVE YEARS AND HAVE BEEN PART OF THE AGENCY FOR 12 YEARS. I WANTED TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO WHY TIME IS SO IMPORTANT TO US IN THIS PROJECT. AS YOU KNOW, CARITAS VILLAGE INCLUDES THE HOMES AND CENTER AND MY COLLEAGUE MARK KRUG WILL SPEAK ABOUT THE HOMES AFTER ME. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE FUNDING STREAM OFS FOR CARITAS CENTER. WE HAVE GOT THREE FUNDING STREAMS. AND I WANTEDS TO SHARE SOME DETAILS ABOUT THAT FNDING THAT COULD IN SOME WAYS BE JEOPARDIZED BY EVEN A SMALL DELAY IN THIS PROCESS. REGARDING FUNDS TAT WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED, I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO SHARE THAT WE HAVE OVER 125 PEOPLE IN COMMUNITY HAVE DONATED OVER $21.4 MILLION TO THIS PROJECT. AND OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN GOAL IS $26 MILLION AND I WANT TO EXTEND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS WOULD ARE HRE IN THE ROOM TODAY, WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP. IT'S ONE OF THE LARGEST CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS IN SONOMA COUNTY HISTORY AND CERTAINLY THE LARGEST SINGLE EFFORT TO HOUSE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. THESE FUNDS WERE DONATED TO RESPOND TO THE MASSIVE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS THAT WE HAVE, WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY EXACERBATED BY THE 2017 WILDFIRES. AND ONE OF OUR LARGEST GIFTS IS A $2 MILLION GIFT FROM THE FINLEY FOUNDATION AND THAT GIFT REQUIRES THAT WE BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN EARLY 2021. AND SO THAT IS ONE TIME COMPONENT AND WITH REGARD TO FUNDS THAT WE'RE STILL SEEKING, EVEN AGAIN, MINOR DELAYS COULD RESULT IN SOME PRETTY MAJOR LOSSES OF FUNDING THAT FRANKLY IS ALREADY VERY RARE AND DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN. FOR EXAMPLE, IN EARLY MARCH, BOTH CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND BURBANK HOUSING APPLY TO A FEDERAL PROGRAM AND CATHOLIC CHARITIS IS SPONSORED BY A LOCAL BANK FOR UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING. THAT APPLICATION IS DUE MARCH 9TH AND IT'S AN EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE PLANT GRANT AND POINTS ARE AWARDED FOR PROJECT READINESS IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. ANY PROGRESS THAT WE CAN MAKE MANY OBTAINING APPROVAL ALSO STRENGTHEN OUR APPLICATION AND FRANKLY INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT WE'RE AWARDED. IN JUNE, WE'RE ALSO PLANNING TO APPLY TO A MAJOR NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR OVER A MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING, PROBABLY $1.5 MILLION THAT REQUIRE US TO HAVE SIGNED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND IF OUR ENTITLES ARE DELAYED IT WILL MAKE IT UNLIKE LIE WE'LL BE AWARDED IN TIME TO BREAK GROUND. IS THAT COULD FORCE US TO [TA-EUBGS/] UP LOANS THAT WINDDOWN AGAINST AN UNCERTAIN COURSE SOURCE. IN AND FRANKLY, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MOVE QUICKLY IN THE FACE OF UNCERTAIN ECONOMY. SO WE FEEL A GREAT SENSE OF URGENCY IN WANTING TO COMPLETE OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. WE'RE STRONG CONTENDERS FOR ABOUT $7.5 MILLION FOR TAX CREDITS THAT REPRESENTS 25% OF COST OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS PROJECT. THESE ARE UNIQUE FUNDS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND ONLY OFFERED ONCE A YEAR AND IF DELAYED ENTITLEMENTS PUSH OUR SCHEDULE BACK, WE'LL LOSE THESE FUNDS FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND POTENTIALLY HAVE TO PUT THE WHOLE PROJECT ON HOLD WHILE WHERE WE WAIT TO REAPPLY. THAT IS A CRITICAL LEVEL OF FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT, CERTAINLY. THERE IS NO QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT IS -- THE URGENCY REALLY COMING FROM DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR FELLOW HUMANS ARE SUFFERING. WE KNOW HOUSING AND HOMELESSESNESS ARE NO. 1 ISSUES ACROSS THE CITY AND COUNTY AND CARITAS VILLAGE I TRULY FEEL IT'S NOT JUST A CATHOLIC'S CHARITIES PROJECT OR BURBANK HOUSING PROJECT, BUT A COMMUNITY PROJECT AND WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOREVER THE PROJECT. I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO MARK KRUG FROM BURBANK HOUSING. CHAIR CISCO AND COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU THIS EVENING. AGAIN MY NAME IS MARK KRUG WITH BURR BANK HOUSING. I WILL KEEP MY COMMENTS LIMITED TO THE FINANCING OF PHASE 1 OF CARITAS AND EVERY AFFORDABLE RENTAL PROJECT THAT GETS BUILT ANYWHERE IN THE NATION TAKES ADVANTAGE OF FEDERAL TAX CREDITS AND THE FIRST IS SO-CALLED 4% TAX CREDITS AND THOSE WOULD PRODUCE FINANCING FOR ROUGHLY A THIRD OF THE PROJECT TOTAL COST SECOND KIND IS 9% TAX CREDIT THAT WILL GENERATE PROJECT FOR ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS. SO EITHER WAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH A GAP TO FILL AND TYPICALLY ALSO EXCLUSLY AGENCIES LIKE BURBANK LOOK TO GET AARDS FROM STATE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO FILL THAT GAP. I READ AN ARTICLE THAT A TYPICALLY ALT OF FUNDING AWARD TO GET AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING WAS SIX AND THAT RINGS TRUE. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FNDING SOURCES TO TRY TO CHASE DOWN. WHAT I WANTED YOU TO HEAR TONIGHT THERE'S A COUPLE OF REALLY ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITIES COMING UP WITH FUNDING THAT HAVE A TIMELINES THAT AS REBECCA WAS SAYING ARE REALLY -- WE REALLY WANT TO EXPEDITE THE PROJECT SO WE DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE MOST IMPORTANT I WANT TO TOUCH ON QUICKLY AND THEY ARE RELATED TO DISASTER RELIEF FUNDING. THE FIRST CASE IN THE FEDERAL BUDGET, THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR FEDERAL BUDGET I $1 BILLION, B, BILLION, NOT MILLION. $1 BILLION IN 9% TAX CREDITS EARMARKED ONLY FOR CALIFORNIA AND ONLY THOSE COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA THAT WERE IMPACTED BY 2017-2018 DISASTERS. SO IT'S EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF MONEY, AND THE PROGRAM GUIDELINES HAVE YET T BE PUBLISHED. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT SELECTION PROCESS BUT ALL OF SONOMA COUNTY IS INCLUDED FOR THAT $1 BILLION. IT'S A BIG NUMBER, BUT IT'S ALSO A BIG STATE. WHEN BURBANK IS APPLYING FOR 9% TAX CREDIT IN THE NORMAL YEAR-TO-YEAR OPERATIONS WE COMPLETE IN A REGION MADE OF SIX COUNTIES SOLANO, SHASTA, NAP A MARIN, A BUNCH OF LOCAL COUNTIES FURTHER NORTH. IN A GIVEN YEAR, MAYBE $30 MILLION IN TAX CREDITS FOR THOSE SIX COUNTIES PUT TOGETHER. WHICH MEANS AT MOST, THERE WILL BE TWO PROJECTS AWARDED ACROSS SIX COUNTIES IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. SO CONTRAST TO $1 BILLION IN TAX CREDITS IS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY. I MENTIONED THAT THE GUIDELINES ARE NOT YET PUBLISHED, THERE IS FOUR ROUNDS, SPRING/SUMMER THERE YEAR AND SPRING/SUMMER NEXT YEAR. SO UNLESS THE STATE -- IT'S FEDERAL TAX CREDITS, BUT THEY ARE OPERATED BY THE STATE. UNLESS THE RULES CHANGE, IF WE'RE AWARDED TAX CREDITS, AND WE ACCEPT THAT AWARD, THEN WE HAVE SIX MONTHS TO INITIATE CONSTRUCTION. AND IF WE MISS THAT, WE A, LOSE THE TAX CREDIT AWARD AND B, IF BURBANK WAS THE APPLICANT, IN FUTURE FUNDING COMPETITIONS WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE NEGATIVE POINTS. SO IT'S A SERIOUS MATTER TO APPLY FOR THE TAX CREDITS AND GET INTO THE GROUNDS SIX MONTHS OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE AWARD. THE SECOND FUNDING SOURCE THAT IS ALSO FEDERAL DISASTER-RELATED IS A PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY HUD AND THE CORE PROGRAM HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE NIXON WAS PRESIDENT AND THAT IS THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT OR CDBG. ED CITY AND THE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF PETALUMA RECEIVED MODEST AMOUNTS EVERY SINGLE YEAR, BUT BECAUSE OF THE FEDERALLY-DECLARED DISASTERS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THERE IS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL AWARD OF ABOUT $38 MILLION FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE RENTAL HOUSING AFFORDABLE, MULTI-FAMILY PROJECTS IN THE CITY LIMITS OF SANTA ROSA. SO THAT $38 MILLION WILL GO JUST TO THAT SMALL CATEGORY OF PROJECTS AND CARITAS HOMES FITS IN RATHER PERFECTLY. IT'S BEING ADMINISTRATERED BY THE STATE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND AGAIN WE'RE WAITING FOR DETAILS, BUT WE EXPECT THE APPLICATION WINDOW FOR THAT $38 MILLION TO BE IN NEXT 60-90 DAYS. AS FAR AS I KNOW, I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ONE OR TWO FUNDING ROUNDS, BUT EITHER WAY, THERE IS ROUGHLY THIS ONE-YEAR OPPORTUNITY TO GET WHAT WOULD BE ROUGH NUMBERS TEN TIMES OR SO WHAT THE CITY WOULD TYPICALLY HAVE IN A GIVEN YEAR. SO IT'S A SECOND EXTRAORDINARY FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WITH TIGHT DEADLINES. TWO MORE REAL QUICK. THESE ARE FUNDING PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE SEEKING TO CLOSE THE GAP, AND GET CARITAS HOMES PHASE 1 BUILT. THERE'S A PROGRAM RUN AT STATE-LEVEL CALLED MHP, FOR MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM, THAT IS BOND-FUNDED THAT TAXPAYERS APPROVED BONDS IN 2018. SO THAT PROGRAM WILL BE WINDING DOWN NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE BOND PROCEEDS THAT MAKE UP THAT PROGRAM WILL BE SPENT PROBABLY IN NEXT YEAR. SO THERE'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT COULD VRY WELL FADE AAY IN A YEAR OR SO. AND LASTLY REBECCA MENTIONED THE FEDERAL HOME BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO, AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM. WE'LL ALSO TY TO GET FUNDS FROM THAT PROGRAM, AND THAT HAS AN APPLICATION PERIOD ONLY ONCE A YEAR IN FEBRUARY/MARCH. S IF WE CAN'T MAKE THIS ROUND AS REBECCA SAID WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR. THERE'S A FEW OTHER FUNDING POGRAMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, BUT I WANTED YOU TO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE INFORMATION THIS THERE'S SOME ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITH SHORT WINDOWS. SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE SO CNCERNED ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. THE LAST SPEAKER IS FROM CATHOLIC CHARITIES. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS I WILL BE SECOND TO LAST. AS WE'RE KIND OF WINDING DOWN OUR PRESENTATION, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT AND THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING EACH AND EVERY OF YOU AND THE DECISION THAT LAYS BEFORE YOU AND CONTEXT HOW WE GOT HERE AND WHY THIS PROJECT IS SO IMPORTANT. NOT JUST TO WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT HOW IT WILL REALLY IPACT OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY ON THIS VERY REAL CRISIS THAT SONOMA COUNTY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND NATION ARE FACING WHEN IT COMES TO HOMELESSNESS. IN SONOMA COUNTY WE HAVE ACTUALLY MOVED THE NEEDLE ON HOMELESSNESS. REDUCING IT BY 31% OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES ALONG LAST YEAR MENTIONED EARLIER HOUSES 650 PEOPLE. OVER 1800 PEOPLE IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. THOSE ARE INCREDIBLY POWERFUL NUMBERS AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH. CARITAS VILLAGE WILL NOT ONLY DO WHAT IS DONE WITH LESSONED LEARN, BUT COULD PORTLANDLY DOUBLE THE NUMBERS REALLY MAKING DENT THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO WITH LIMITATIONS THAT SURROUND US IN OUR CURRENT FACILITIES. ONE EXAMPLEFUL A PROJECT THAT WE DID, WHICH I THINK IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL THINGS WE HAVE DONE IN SONOMA COUNTY SO FAR TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON HOMELESSNESS IS THE PALMS INN. MOST OF THE COMPONENTS THAT WE HAVE DONE AT THE PALMS INN, LOOK AT REPLICATING AT CARITAS VILLAGE. THERE IS SOME REALLY VALUABLE STATISTICS AND EVIDENCE FROM THAT PROJECT. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, THE RESIDENTS WHO WERE LIVING AT THAT FACILITY WE SAW 77% REDUCTION IN LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERACTIONS AMONG THE POPULATION OF 56% REDUCTION IN AMBALANCE TRANSPORTATION AND 46% REDUCTION IN INPATIENT HOSPITALIZATION. ADDITIONALLY IN THAT FIRST YEAR OF THE PROJECT, WE SAW 23% REDUCTION IN VETERANS HOMELESSNESS AND 26% IN CHLORINIC HOMELESSNESS AND 16% REDUCTION IN HOMELESSNESS IN SANTA ROSA. SO WE KNOW THINGS THAT WORK AND PUT PEOPLE IN SUPPORTIVE HOUSING WITH ON-SITE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE CAN BE HOUSED, STAY HOUSED AND MITIGATE THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE COMMUNITY, WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ISSUE. AND CARITAS VILLAGE IS EXACTLY TO BRING THE ON-SITE SUPPORTIVE SERVICE THROUGH THE CENTER, COUPLED WITH EXPANSIVE HOUSING THAT BURBANK IS GOING TO BE LEADING AND REALLY DUPLICATE THE EFFORTS AND MAGNIFY ON A WHOLE NEW SCALE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I JUST WANT TO TALK QUICKLY ABOUT ALSO WHEN WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY SEVERAL YEARS AGO, IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US TO ENGAGE THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A LITTLE BIT OF FTBERS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THAT ARENA. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS AS WE TRY TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST EVEN THE REQUIRES COMMUNITY OUTREACH THIS KIND OF PROJECT ASKS OF US. WE HAVE DONE THINGS LIKE HELD OVER SEVEN NEIGHBORHOOD -- WHAT WE CALL KNOCKING-DOOR DAYS. WHERE WE TALKED TO NEIGHBORS OVER 200 PEOPLE OVER SEVEN SESSIONS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN-UP DAYS WHERE VOLUNTEERS CAME TOGETHER AND DID CLEAN-UPS IN OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODED. WE HAD WEEKLY COFFEE CHATS WHERE BOTH BURBANK HOUSING AND CTHOLIC CHARITIS WERE AVAILABLE TO TALK AND NINE MEETINGS OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING FOUR THAT -- ADDING FOUR THAT WE ALSO HOSTED IN THE WEST END AND IN THE ST. ROSE DISTRICT. SO WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A CRISIS. WE JUST SAW THE CRISIS UNFOLD ON THE TRAIL AND ONE THING ASTOUNDING ABOUT THE CRISIS IN AND OF ITSELFS THAT POPULATION WAS ONLY 7% OF OUR ENTIRE COUNTY'S HOMELESS POPULATION. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AS AN EMERGENCY, WE NEED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF ALL OF THE HUMAN SUFFERING THAT IS BEING FACED IN OUR COMMUNITY. WHEN I TALK ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AS AN EMERGENCY, 50% HAVE A PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE AND SUBSTANCE-ABUSE AT THE SAME TIME. THE MOST ASTOUNDING IS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE 3-4 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE AND THOSE ARE THE DECISION STATISTICS FOR THE COMMUNITY. ANY DELAY, THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE SERVING AND GETTING TO LIVING UNNECESSARILY ON THE STREETS EVEN LONGER. SO THAT IS PART OF WHY WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER AND WORKED SO CLOSELY ON TRYING TO STREAMLINE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THIS PROJECT WORK IN THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED THE LSSONS OF IMPACTFUL HOMELESSNESS SERVICES OVER THE YEARS. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY THE NO. 1 THING THAT THE COMMUNITY AND OUR CITY AND OUR COUNTY-LEVEL IS SAYING WE NEED AN ANSWER. AND THIS IS THE ANSWER. CARITAS VILLAGE IS THE ANSWER IN OUR MINDS. I HAVE DOING THIS WORK OVER A DECADE AND I FEEL EXTREMELY CONFIDENCE THAT THE PROJECT DESIGNED HOW WE SUPPORT THESE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO DOUBLE OUR EFFORTS AROUND ENDING HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO LET MS. WALLIS CONCLUDE AND GIVE BRIEF STATEMENTS. I KOW WE'RE KIND O GETTING TO POINT TO MOVE TO THE NEXT PART. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE'RE UP HERE, CAREFULLY LISTENING TO YOU. I'M RECORDING THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, AND AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE'LL HAVE STAFF, THE APPLICANT, RESPOND TO THOSE CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GET TO OUR QUESTIONS.

SO I WILL CALL YOUR CARD AND YOU GET TO SPEAK, BUT YOU DON'T GET TO GO I WANT TO GIVE MY TIME TO THAT FORMER SPEAKER, SO THEY HAVE SIX MINUTES. I DON'T ALLOW THAT. SO I THINK THAT CONCLUDES ALL MY RULES AND REGULATIONS. APPRECIATE YOUR TOLERANCE FOR THAT. AND SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT [ GAVEL ] AND WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH PETER RUMBLE FOLLOWED BY AMANDA SUITE, FOLLOWED BY DEWAYNE DEMITT GULFPORT GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS, I APPRECIATE YUR TIME, APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT. AS YOU KNOW, AND AS YOU HAVE HEARD HOMELESSNESS AND THE HOUSING CRISIS HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, AND OUR BUSINESSES NOT TO MENTION THE INDIVIDUALS DEALING WITH HOMELESSESNESS AND THE CHAMBER RECOGNIZES NEED FOR HOUSING WITH WRAP-AROUND SERVICES FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IS A CRUCIAL PIECE OF OUR COMMUNITY CHALLENGE AND CARITAS VILLAGE WILL DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO FIND PERMANENT HOUSING AND HELP ALLEVIATE THE CRISIS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S GOOD FOR SANTA ROSA, GOOD FOR SONOMA COUNTY, GOOD FOR BUSINESS, AND AGAIN, GOOD FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THIS PROJECT FRANKLY IS NOT IN QUESTION. AND THE THING IS IN TERMS WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION IS TO OUR HOUSING CRISIS. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION IS TO HOMELESSNESS. IT'S ONLY THE QUESTION OF IMPLEMENTING THESE SOLUTIONS IS CALLED DO WE END UP IN CONTESTED HEARINGS AND DEBATES. AND THAT ISN'T TO SAY THAT WE SHOWN HAVE AN OPEN AND FRANK CONVERSATION ABOUT THINGS. WE SHOULDN'T DISRESPECT. WE SHOULD HONOR PEOPLE THAT WE DISAGREE WITH. AND THAT ISN'T TO SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN MINE OR BAD OR UNINFORMED. I CAN ASSURE YOU I'M GENERALLY THE SLOWEST GUY IN THE ROOM MOST OF THE TIME. BUT THERE ALWAYS WILL BE REASON TO VOTE NO. PARTICULARLY IF IT MEANS CHANGE. THE CHANGE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS PROJECT IN MY OPINION IS SOMEONE WHO LIVE S AND WORKS NOT FAR AWAY NO WAY DIMINISHES THE HISTORIC AREA AND INDEED IT ENHANCES THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE AREA AND OF COURSE, THAT IS ADDED TO THE FACT THAT THE PROJECT WILL CHANGE THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF OUR FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS. I'M AN OPTIMIST. AND THE QUALITY IN ME CONTINUES TO BELIEVE THAT WE'LL MOVE FORWARD TO THE SOLUTIONS THAT WE KNOW ARE NEEDED AND THAT WE KNOW ARE RIGHTEOUS. I'M CERTAINLY BOLSTERED B STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE PROJECT AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP THIS PROJECT MOVING FORWARD FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS, SO FOR ALL OUR BUSINESSES, FOR OUR COUNTY AND OUR CITY AND HOPEFULLY KEEP ME AN OPTIMIST. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I DID FORGET TO INDICATE THAT WHEN YOU ARE UP THERE, YOU CAN WATCH THE TIMER IS MOVING ALONG. IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE LEFT. I'M A VERY STRICT TIMEKEEPER. SO WHEN IT GETS TO THE BUZZER, THAT'S IT. SO REALLY KIND OF PAY ATTENTION TO THAT AND UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL STOP YOU IT'S OF THE THREE MINUTES. NEXT AMANDA SUITE FOLLOWED BY DEWAYNE DEWITT, FOLLOWED BY TERRY. >> >> HAVING SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE ECONOMY, AND OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES AS PETER'S JUST SAID, THE SANTA ROSA MOIT CHAMBER SUPPORTS THESE PROJECTS THAT BRINGS WRAP AROUND SOLUTIONS. IN ADDITION TO THE HUMAN TOLL ON THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND EMOTIONOL TOLL AND THIS PROJECT BEING THE RIGHT THING TO DO, HOMELESSNESS IS A SIGNIFICANT DRAIN ONLOC ECONOMY AND IMPACTS TOURISM AND EMPLOYEE RECRUIT AND IMPACTS LOCAL RETAILERS, IT NEEDLESSLY STRAINS VITAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AND DIVERTS MARGINAL RESPONSE RESOURCE AND PLACES AN EXCREMENT BURDEN ON OUR HEALTH CARE. CARITAS WILL REDUCE THAT BURDEN. IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT, THE PROJECT OFFERS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO THE EXISTING SITE AND RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING NOT OM RESTORES THE LIVES OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND IS A HIGHLY COST EFFECTIVE, BUT LEADING TO GROWTH IN PROPERTY VALUES FOR NEBRASKA RESIDENCES. COUNTY AND CITY ARE FACING REAL ECONOMIC [KHRA-EL/]S. AS A COMMUNITY, WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION TO TURN AWAY REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION. CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND BURR BANK HOUSE HAVING A PROVEN TRACK RECORD - THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT COST DOING NOTHING AND SIGNIFICANT COST FOR LETTING THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS US BY. I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT KARATAS VILLAGE AND THE LASTING IMPROVEMENTS IT MAKES TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. DEWAYNE DEWITT, FOLLOWED BY TERRY KNOWLE, FOLLOWED BY DANIEL. NOT SEEING MR. DEWITT. OKAY. SO TERRI KNOWLE FOLLOWEDS BY DANIEL WINESEG. JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, TO START. >> DANIEL WITH THE INTERSECTION COALITION. WE ALL AGREE THAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS MORE HOUSING, AND MUST DO MORE FOR OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, AND WHO ARE PRECARIOUSLY HOUSED. CARITAS VILANTING IS NEEDED AND WE CAN NO LONGER DELAY, DEBATE THE NUANCES OF VITAL PROJECTS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY FROIING DAILY. THIS PROJECT WILL HELP HUNDREDS OF OUR NEIGHBORS COMBINTHEIR JOURNEY TOWARDS LATHE AND CONTRIBUTION AT THE INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL AND THE COMMUNITY-LEVEL. I'M STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT AND APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATION OF THESE TWO SIGNIFICANT SERVICE PROVIDERS AS THEY WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH AND HOUSING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS COME OUT TONIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DECISION, AND TO RECOGNIZE THOSE WHO AREN'T HERE TONIGHT, WHOM WE HAVEN'T HEARD TOO MUCH FROM, AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE GOING TO BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS PROJECT. MOST OF US HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF STABLE HOMES, AND WE THUS HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPOND TO THE COMMUNITY ISSUES BEFORE US. OUR ABILITY TO RESPOND IS RESPONSIBILITY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT SHARE THIS PRIVILEGE. OUR NEIGHBORS WITHOUT STABLE HOMES LACK THEM FOR A MYRIAD OF REASONS AND HAVE A MYRIAD OF NEEDS TO GET THEM HOUSESED AND IN GOOD HEALTH. REGARDLESS OF THEIR SITUATIONS WE OWE TO OUR PRECARIOUSLY HOUSED NEIGHBORS TO CREATE MORE OPTIONS YOU AOPPORTUNITIS TO HEAL AND RECOVER AND FIND DIGNITY HOUSES THAT CARITAS WILL BE TO CALL HOME. I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. LISA LANDRIS, FOLLOWED BY DENNIS, FOLLOWED BY CHRIS GABLE. >> I WILL. THAT WAS A VERY NICE ROLL-OUT EVERYBODY DID. IT LOOKS LYING A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT. I'M SORRY IT HAS TO BE SO TALL. MY ONLY CONCERN MOVING FORWARD, I HAVE DRIVEN THAT BLOCK AT THE BEHEST OF MANY, MANY RESIDENTS OF THAT AREA AND THE LACK OF MONITORING AND THE LACK OF UPHOLDING OF THEIR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AT THE NAVIGATION SITE, AT 600 MORGAN STREET HAS REALLY BEEN DISTURBING. I'M UP TO 21 DAYS DRIVING AND HAVEN'T BEEN ONE DAY THERE WASN'T AN INFRACTION THAT IN. I LOVE THE PROJECT. I DON'T LIKE THE MANAGERIAL STEWARDSHIP THAT IS GOING ON AT 600 MORGAN STREET. SO I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE A CONSIDERATION THAT USE PERMIT BE TIGHTEN UP BECAUSE THE ONE ON RECORD ONLY CITES ONE PERSON TO MANAGE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND I CAN TELL YOU, IT'S A FIVE-PERSON JOB ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I HAVE WAITED TEN MINUTES FOR PEOPLE TO STOP BLOCKING MY CAR OUT THERE. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND I HAVE STILL PHOTOS AS DO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS. I DON'T LIVE THERE, BUT I STARTED DRIVING THERE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE WEREN'T GETTING ACTIONS ON THEY ARE COMPLAINTS ON IT. I LOVE THE BUILDING. I LOVE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE, BUT I DO NOT LOVE THE STEWARDSHIP WITH THE CLIENTELE IN THE NAVIGATION PART. THANKS. >> THANK YOU. [ READING SPEAKERS' NAMES ] >> THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. MY NAME IS DENNIS, I'M REPRESENTING MYSELF HERE TODAY. BUT ALSO SPEAKING TO SOME LEGACY I LEFT BEHIND. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN WHENEVER IT WAS GOING THROUGH THE CITY PROCESS AND SPENT HUNDREDS OF HOURSS AND WORKS WTH HUNDREDS OF CITIZENS. WE APPROVED THIS PROJECT HERE IN THIS VERY ROOM AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE PLANS AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO IMPLEMENT THEM. I WAS GOING THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT AND GOT TEARY-EYED THINKING ABOUT THIS AND THE EXACT THING THAT THE CITY NEEDS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROJECT. IT FILLS SO MANY OF THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND CHECKS BOXS WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING. OBVIOUSLY BEING A HUGE PART OF TE OUR ADVOCACY. LEED GOLD PROJECT AND THIS LEVEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN WAS EXACTLY WITH WHAT WE HAD IN MINd AND FINALLY JUST SAY THERE IS SO MUCH COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT. I HAVE HEARD A LOT ABOUT IT. I HAVE TOURED THE SITE MYSELF. THINK IT'S A REALLY STANDOUT JOB REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITIMENT $21 MILLION RAISED FROM THE CMMUNITY AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY FILLING A NEED AND HITTING THE PULSE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO SAY YES TO THIS PROJECT AND SEE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXIS CHRIS GABLE FOLLOWED BY SCOTT JOHNSON, FOLLOWED BY ORIN THESISAN. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. FIRST I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE THAT WE HAVE A PROJECT LIKE THIS THAT IS BIG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I THINK IT'S THE FIRST BIG THING AND WE NEED A LOT MORE OF THESE BIG THINGS. IT'S, I THINK, THE FIRST THING THAT WILL REALLY ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE CAN'T JUST DO A LITTLE BIT HERE AND THERE. WE HAVE BEEN FAILING FOR YEARS, REALLY ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AND HOMELESSNESS AND PRECARIOUSLY HOUSED FOLKS AND AT THIS POINT WHERE WE'RE MAKING THE DECISION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MEETS THAT NEED WITH SOME COURAGE AND LEADERSHIP. I JST A CAME FROM ANOTHER VILLAGE, WHERE I'M THE SITE TEAM AND THE NUMBER OF FLKS ON THE WALL BEHIND YOU ARE RESIDENTS OF THE VILLAGE. IT'S A TEMPORARY SITE AND WE HOPE IT WILL BE LESS TEMPORARY THAN APRIL 30TH. HOWEVER, THERE NEEDS TO BE PERMANENT HOMES FOR THESE FOLKS AND THEY ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU AND ENCOURAGE TO LOOK AT THEIR FACES BEFORE YU VOTE TONIGHT. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY. I THINK YOU DO, IN THE POSITION YOU ARE IN, I THINK IT'S RARE THAT THIS IS THE CASE. BUT IT REALLY IS A MAKE-OR-BREAK OF BEING ABLE TO GET THIS PROJECT AROSS THE FINISH LINE, THROUGH FEASIBILITY, GIVEN THAT THE FUNDING AVAILABILITY OF THE TAX CREDITS, ESPECIALLY THE TAX CREDITS THAT WERE THE PROMISED TO US FIGHTING TO KEEP IN SONOMA COUNTY AND FIRE AFFECTED COMMUNITIES. IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT WE RECOGNIZE THE URGENCY AND THE FACT THAT IT'S A MAKE OR BREAK. THERE'S A LOT OF PERFECT BEFORE THE GOOD THAT HAPPENS IN PLANNING PROCESS, BUT I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE DIRE URGENCY AND COMMITMENT AND COURAGE REQUIRED TO JUST MOVE THIS FORWARD TO HAVE A CHANCE AT THAT LEVEL OF FUNDING THAT COULD REALLY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE. AGAIN, BIG ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. SCOTT JOHNSON. FOLLOWED BY ORIN THEISSIN. >> GOOD EVENING, PLANNING COMMISSION. MY NAME IS ALEXANDER HARDMAN AND I'M READING ON BEHALF OF THE SCOTT JOHNSON AND IN HIS WORDS I'M A BUSINESS OWNER AND HOMEOWNER NOT FAR AWAY ON CLOVER DRIVE. HOMELESSNESS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY. ONE THAT IS TERMINALLY UNDERSERVED BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY INVOLVED IN GETTING ANY ADDITIONAL SERVICES APPROVED ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. IN THIS CASE, PROTECTING HISTORIC RESOURCES SEEMS TO BE THE MOST LIKELY PALATABLE REASON TO DENY ANOTHER RESOURCE FOR OUR CITIZENS. DURING THE LARGE SCALE URBAN RENEWAL ETHOS OF THE '50s AND 60s AND AT TIME THERE WAS WHOLE SCALE DESTRUCTION OF HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PROTECTIONS ENACTED WERE LARGELY SUCCESSFUL. HOWEVER, THAT CRISIS HAS PASSED, AND WE'RE FACED WITH AN EVEN GREATER CRISIS, THE CRISIS OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND HOMELESSNESS. A TOOL IS BEING USED TO EXACERBATE ANOTHER. CARITAS VILLAGE -- TO DENY THIS PROJECT CONTINUES THE PATTERN OF DOING NOTHING AND HOPE THINGS WILL IMPROVE. WE AS A COMMUNITY NEED THIS PROJECT. AS A LONG-TIME MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS OWNER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I AM A FULLY COMMITTED SUPPORTER OF THIS PROJECT. SCOTT JOHNSON. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT IS ORIN THESISIN, FOLLOWED BY JENN KUSMAN, FOLLOWED BY VICTRINONI. >> I HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND DESIGNING AROUND SONOMA COUNTY FOR 45 YEARS AND I HAVE DONE A LOT OF HISTORIC RESTORATIONS, AND WE WON AWARDS FROM SONOMA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND WEST COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY. WE ALSO BUILD THE SMART GROWTH PROJECTS AND WINDSOR TOWN GREEN WON AN ABAG AWARD FOR SMART GROWTH. I TOOK THE TIME TO STUDY THIS PROJECT AND WALK THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE OLD HOUSES AND THE OLD BUILDINGS THERE. AND THEY ARE NOT REALLY WORTH RESTORING OR SAVING. I DON'T TINK THEY ARE A MILLION EITHER. I STUDIED THIS PROJECT AND THE LOCATION -- THIS IS SANTA ROSA IS A BIG CITY AND THIS IS DOWNTOWN. IT NEEDS BIG BUILDINGS, HIGH-DENSITY, AND SMART GROWTH. THIS IS A REALLY WELL-DESIGNED SMART GROWTH PROJECT. AND I JUST HOPE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MOVES THIS ALONG AS FAST AS THEY CAN, BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU JENN CUSSMAN. >> I'M HEAR TO READ ON BEHALF OF JENN AND HER HUSBAND, DAVID. WE REGRET WE CANNOT ATTEND THIS MEETING IN PERSON. BUT WE WILL BOTH HAVE WORK OBLIGATIONS DURINGED TIME. WE HAVE BEEN LIVING AT THE CORNER OF 7TH AND A FOR NEARLY SIX YEARS AND WE LOVE LIVING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN SANTA ROSA AND ENJOY BEING ABLE TO GO TO DINNER, HAPPY OUR OR A MOVIE WITHOUT HAVING TO GET IN A CAR. LIVING ACROSS THE INTERSECTION FROM CATHOLIC CHARITIES WE HAVE SEEN FROM A SHORT DISTANCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THEY SERVE WITH MANY MORE IN NEED SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS, OR ON THE STREETS NEARBY. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE LEADERSHIP THAT CATHOLIC CHARITIES HAS TAKEN IN HELPING FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN NEED BUT THERE IS CLEARLY SO MUCH MORE WORK TO DO. WE HAVE WITNESSED FIRSTHAND THE LIMITATIONS OF THEIR CURRENT FACILITIES, WHICH ARE OUTDATED, AND NO LONGER WORK WELL TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THOSE IN NEED. WE HAVE SEEN CHILDREN GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL OUTSIDE ON FRIGID MORNINGS, SLEEPING IN A VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ROOM AT CURRENT LOCATION TO HOUSE THEY THEM OR THEIR PARENTS. WE SUPPORT THE PROJECT BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW CATHOLIC CLARITIES TO HELP TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE TO FIND A PLACE TO CALL HOME. THE NEW FACILITY WILL PROVIDE INCREASED PRIVACY FOR THOSE SEEKING SERVICES, AS WELL AS IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR STAFF, NEIGHBORS AND THE COMMUNITY. THE END RESULT WILL BE THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE PERMANENTLY HOUSED AND PROVIDED DESPERATELY NEEDED SERVICES. AS NEIGHBORS TO THE PROJECT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO ADDITIONAL BENEFITS INCLUDING IMPROVED PEDESTRIAN SAFETY WITH IMPROVES SIDEWALKS AND SAFETY LIGHTING. I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THIS VIOLATESAL PROJECT. OUR COUNTY, CITY AND NEIGHBORHOODS ARE FACING REAL CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING . THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. [ READING SPEAKERS' NAMES ] >> GOOD AFTERNOON. I SPENT MANY HOURS IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION 45 YEARS AGO, WHEN I HAD HAIR -- [LAUGHTER ]AND I WAS INVOLVED IN FOR-PROFIT HOUSING PROJECTS. SINCE THEN, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. AS REBECCA MENTIONED GREG AND I ARE CO-CAMPAIGN CHAIRS OF THIS PROJECT, RAISING FUNDS. AND IT WAS KICKED OFF RIGHT AFTER THE FIRES OF '17. WHERE WE HAD A $5 MILLION LEAD GIFT FROM TIPPING PINT, TIPPING POINT RAISED FUNDS IN SAN FRANCISCO THROUGH A NUMBER OF REHEARSALS AND MUSIC EVENTS AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THEY CAME AND SAW CARITAS, THAT THEY WERE REALLY INTERESTED AND HAD A LOTS OF SUPPORT. THAT KICKED US OFF. WE HAVE RAISED ABOUT $22 MILLION AND ABOUT 82% OF OUR GOAL. AND I'M VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL REACH THAT AND WE'LL BE COMING OUT SHORTLY WITH A GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE RECEIVED 10 SEVEN-FIGURE REQUESTS FROM DINNER ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS AND INCLUDING MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, AND KAISER PERMANENTE AND WE'RE WORK ON THE THIRD HOSPITAL AS WE SPEAK. CARITAS IS A ONE-STOP SHOP. IT PROVIDES, AS REBECCA SAID, IT'S NOTICE JUST PROVIDING HOME, BUT IT'S FINDING HOME. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, ABOUT 650 INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN PLACED EVERY YEAR IN HOUSING THROUGH THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND THIS WILL BE FOCUSED IN CARITAS. SANTA ROSA COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC WILL DRIVE THE CLERK OF THE COMMISSION CLINIC THAT WILL BE THERE AND HAVE PEOPLE INTO THE NIGHTINGALE PROGRAM, A HOMELESS PERSON RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL HAS NO PLACE TO GO AND THEY ARE BACK ON THE STREET. THIS WILL BE A FACILITY THAT WILL GET THEM READY TO FIND A HOME, AND TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. SO I THINK THE -- I HAVE GIVEN A NUMBER OF TOURS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND I THINK THAT THE MOST -- THE BEST THING IS WHY PEOPLE SEE THE FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER AND THE COMPELLING NEED THAT WE HAVE, AND IT WAS RIGHT IN THE PRESS DEMOCRAT TODAY, THE PICTURE OF THE YOUNG MOTHER AND TWO CHILDREN HAD NO PLACE TO GO AND CARITAS WILL PROVIDE THAT. I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS AND FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS PROJECT WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. [ READING SPEAKERS' NAMES ] >> QUEATH, MANY NAME IS LISTEST AND I WILL BE READING ON BEHALF OF ROBIN CLEAVES WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. I GIVE PERMISSION TO LISETTE TO READ MY LETTER. I HAVE LIVED AT 730 MORGAN STREET SINCE 2015, IT'S ONE THE HOME DEPOTS ON THE ST. ROSE PRESERVATION DISTRICT'S WALKING TOUR. IT'S A QUEBANNE COTTAGE AND WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1904-190 . I MOVED INTO THIS HOUSE SITE UNSEEN FROM WASHINGTON STATE, BECAUSE O ITS CHARM. BEING ALONG THE FREE AND CLOSE TO SEVERAL SETTLERS THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ITS CHALLENGES BUT I ROUGH LIVING HERE. AS AN EMERGENCY ROOM REGISTERED NURSE WORKING AT KAISER PERMANENTE IN SANTA ROSA, I CARE FOR MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE REGULARLY OF THE THEY ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH STORIES, AND BURDENS. THEY ARE ALSO SOMEONE'S SISTER, BROTHER, DAUGHTER, SON, MOTHER, FATHER. I TREAT THEM ALL WITH COMPASSION BECAUSE THEY ARE HEARING HUMAN BEINGS DESERVING OF RESPECT. TO TAKE AWAY THE HUMANITY OF THOSE WHO STRUGGLE TO GET THROUGH LIFE. COMPASSION IS A STRENGTH THAT ALLOWS TO US UNDERSTAND OTHERS AND SEE THAT WE'RE MORE LIKE THAN DIFFERENT. AS A REGISTERED NURSE, I WANT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. THAT IS WHAT CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND CARITAS VILLAGE WILL DO. CATHOLIC CHARITIES TO HOUSE AND HELP SO MANY MORE PEOPLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE CARITAS VILLAGE WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COG GRATING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WITH THE LARGER FACILITY PEOPLE WON'T NEED TO [HA-BGS/] OUT IN THE STREETS AS THEY ARE ACCOMMODATED WITHIN THE BUILDING ITSELF. CATHOLIC CHARITY SEIZE OTHERWISES SUFFER AUK MOTIVATED TO RELIEVE THAT SUFFERING OF THE HAD HE NEED THIS CARITAS VILLAGE IN ORDER TO DO SO. I PULLEY SUPPORT THIS AS A REGISTERED NURSE AND A LONG TIME MEMBER OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT IS ROBIN STEPHANIE, FOLLOWED BY DALE FLOWERS, FOLLOW BY EDDIE D. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS ROBIN STEPHANIE AND I LIVE ON WEST 6TH INTEREST ANDPLY BUSINESS IS LOCATED ON WEST 9TH STREET ESSENTIALLY BOOK ENDING THE WEST END NEIGHBORHOOD. I MOVED TO THE WEST END IN 2007 WHERE MY FAMILY, LOOKING FOR A PLACE I COULD BUILD A FUTURE FOR MY FAMILY IN A LIVABLE WALKABLE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I HAVE DEFINITELY FOUND THAT IN WEST END. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT TE CARITAS VILLAGE AND ECHO A LOT OF REASONS THAT YOU HEARD TONIGHT, ALL GREAT POINTS IN WHY WE NEED TO DO IT AND WHY IT'S THE RIGHT PROJECT. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A PERSONAL STORY. WHEN I MOVED TO WEST END, MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING PAST THE MISSION AND WE SAW THE LINE OUTSIDE TO GET IN. MY DAUGHTER SAID, LOOK, MOM, A CONCERT. I SAID, NO, HONEY, THAT IS LINE TO GET INTO THE HOMELESS SHELTER, AND SHE SAID WHAT IS THE HOMELESS SHELTER? THAT IS A PLACE YOU CAN GO WITHOUT A HOME AND YOU CAN GO IN AND STAY THERE. AS I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, I COULD SEE THE GEARS TURNING IN HER HEAD AND SHE SAID, I LOVE MY NEW NEIGHBORHOOD. IT REALLY MADE ME PROUD, FRANKLY, THAT THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION SHE HAD OF THAT. FAST-FORWARD 13 YEARS AND I HAVE ANOTHER YOUNG CHILD AND WHEN WE DRIVE THROUGH AND WALK DOWN OUR STREET IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WE OFTEN DO, SHE COMMENTED TO ME, MOMMY, WE SHOULD NOT BE LETING THIS HAPPEN, WHEN I EXPLAINED TO HER WHY PEOPLE WERE LIVING ON THE STREET. AND SHE SAID, I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A HOME. AT WHICH POINT I SAID, ME TOO. AND I WANT TO SHARE THAT STORY, BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT REALLY EMBODIES THE HOPE THAT OUR FAMILY FEELS FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND OUR COMMUNITY, AND WE SEE THE CARITAS VILLAGE AS SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND POSSIBLY CREATE MORE ENERGY AND ALMOST A RENAISSANCE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN SUPPORT IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE HER TO THE GROUNDBREAKING, OR ONE OF THE ACTIVITIS THAT HAPPEN TO SHOW HER HOW WE AS THE LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN WORK TO SOLVE THESE COMPLICATED PROJECTS. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. I LIVE THEM DAY IN AND DAY OUT. HOWEVER, MY CONCERNS ARE DEEPER FOR OUR NEIGHBORS THAT ARE IN NEED AND DEEPER FOR THE LEGACY I WANT TO LEAVE FOR THE FUTURE. SO PLEASE SUPPORT CARITAS VILLAGE, PLEASE DO IT NOW. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MS. STEPHANI. NEXT IS DALE FLOWERS, FOLLOWED BY EDDIE D, FOLLOWED BY ROSALEE. >> GOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS DALE FLOWERS. I SERVE AS PASTOR OF FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, THE OLDEST CHURCH IN THE CITY, ORGANIZED IN 1855. OUR FAITH COMMUNITY CARE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WHO WE ARE. WE BELONG TO THE McDONALD HISTORIC DISTRICT, AS WELL AS WHERE W LIVE. WE ALSO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE 3,000 NEIGHBORS WHO ARE WITHOUT HOME OR SHELTER. OUR COMMUNITY OF 700 MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ARE PERSONALLY INVESTED TO HELP ADDRESS THE LIFE NEEDS OF SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF YOU ARE COMMUNITY. WE GIVE FINANCIALLY AND SERVE AS VOLUNTEERS WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND SHARE THE CONVICTION THAT PEOPLE MATTER AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ADDRESS THEIR PERSONAL WORTH WITH DIGNITY. SECONDLY, THEIR APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE OF HOMELESSNESS IS DO DONE AND A STRATEGIC LEVEL. THEY WORK FOR LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS WHILE NOT OVERLOOKING THE IMMEDIATE NEED OF EACH INDIVIDUAL AND THIRD, THEY OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH, RATHER THAN A BAND-AID FIX TO HELP PEOPLE LIVE BETTER. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM SUSAN GORIN, CHAIR OF SONOMA COUNTY SUPERVISORS, ASKING FOR MY ASSISTANCE AS A COMMUNITY LEADER TO ADDRESS THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS BY FINDING SUITABLE SITES FOR HOUSING AND SHELTER OF THESE CTIZENS. THE IDEAL TYPE OF PROPERTY THAT THEY LISTED INCLUDED FIVE CRITERIA OF THE I WON'T READ THEY WILL TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THEM AND THIS PROJECT MEETS FIVE -- MEETS -- THEY LISTED SIX, AND IT MEETS FIVE OF THE SIX. THE ONLY ONE IT DOESN'T MEET IS READY FOR IMMEDIATE OCCUPANCY. WE WHO SUPPORT THE CON STRUCTION OF CARITAS VILLAGE THINK IT'S THE SITE AND HOPE YOU GIVE YOUR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. [ READING SPEAKERS' NAMES ] >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS EDDY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES AS A VOLUNTEER AND FORMER PARTICIPANT IN THEIR PROGRAMS. BEFORE I BEGIN, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT I NOT BE VIDEOTAPED AND AUDIO RECORDING IS FINE. CATHOLIC CHARITIES HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE FOR OVER A DECADE; THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME EACH TIME I NEEDED THEM. AND I LOVED GIVING BACK TO THEM EVERY WEEK AS A VOLUNTEER. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH CATHOLIC CHARITIES AS DONE FOR ME. YOU WAS A VICTIM OF A BRUTAL ATTEMPTED MURDER AND FOUND MYSELF AT LOWEST PART OF MY LIFE AND BECAME A RESIDENT OF SAME JONES HALL AND WORK ADDED ALONG THE STAFF T REBUILD MY LIFE. AT A TIME WHEN I HAD NO ONE WHO CARED ABOUT ME, THEY RESPECTED ME IN A WAY THAT MADE ME FEEL SPECIAL AGAIN. WITH THE NECESSITIES OF A ROVE OVER MY HEAD AND FOOD ON TABLE, THEY HELPED ME REBUILD MY CREDIT AD APPLY FOR JOBS. I HAD BAD TEETH AND I WAS TO EMBARRASSED I NEVER SMILED AND HELPED ME FIX THINK TEETH. TO RESTORE DIGNITY IN THE WAY THAT HOUSING BRINGS -- IT'S HARD WORK AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO DO MORE THAN SURVIVE. THEY ARE COMING TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES JUST AS I DID; THEY WANT A NEW AND BETTER LIFE. BUT THE CURRENT FACILITY IS FAILING; IT'S SO HARD TO DO THE WORK WE NEED TO DO, AND DO IT WELL. THAT IS WHY THERE'S AN OVERFLOW ONTO THE STREETS. I BELIEVE CARITASVILLAGE WILL BE A SAFE PLACE FOR CLIENTS TO RECEIVE CARE AND GET ON THE PATH TO HOUSING. IT WILL BE A FACILITY THAT STAFF AND CLIENTS CAN BE PROUD OF. AT CATHOLIC CHARITIES I FEEL A PART OF A FAMILY. I WANT THE BEST FOR MY FAMILY. AND THE PEOPLE WHO WE SERVE. PLEASE CONSIDER CARITAS VILLAGE SO THESE ANGELS CAN MAKE AN EVEN GREATER DIFFERENCE IN SANTA ROSA. I WANT TO THANKS CC ANGELS, CATHOLIC CHARITY ANGELS. BECAUSE OF THEM I'M ALIVE TO TODAY. IT TAKES A VILLAGE JUST TO GET ME THROUGH THE DAY, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT THEMFUL I WOULD BE DEAD. BECAUSE OF HELP, THEY RESTORED MY LIFE AND I'M ABLE TO SEE MY TWO TWIN GRANDCHILDREN THAT WILL BE BORN SOON AND I HAVE PERMANENT HOUSING FOR FIVE YEARS. THANK YOU, CATHOLIC CHARITIES. >> THANK YOU, BUT DON'T CLAP. I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT AND I UNDERSTAND. BUT WE GOT TO KEEP TO THE RULES. THANK YOU. NEXT ROSALEE. AND THEN FOLLOWED BY HER IS LYNNA HOFFMAN AND JOE. >> MY NAME IS ROSALEE, AND I COME TO YOU AS A HOMEOWNER IN THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC DISTRICT FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY CHANGES TAKE PLACE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE MOVED THERE AS A VERY ORDINARY FAMILY. MY HUSBAND A ROOFER AND I BECAME EMPLOYED AS AN ACCOUNT CLERK. M CHILDREN AND US HAD ACESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, TO THE PROXIMITY, TO THE SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE, TO THE WONDERFUL BUSINESSES, MY CHILDREN WORKING AT THE GRATEFUL BAGEL AND MY SON DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS FOR THE PRESS DEMOCRAT. WE ARE A VERY ORDINARY FMILY. I WANT THAT WHOLESOMENESS T CONTINUE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, TWO-BEDROOM, ONE BATH SOLD FOR $647,000. SOME OF MY CHILDREN COULD NEVER AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I LIVE IN NOW. I WANT THE WHOLENESS TO CONTINUE, AND I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT CARITAS VILLAGE PROJECT. BECAUSE I FEEL STRONGLY THAT IT CONTRIBUTES TO THE WHOLENESS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT RESPECTS FOR ALL GROUPS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT JUST THE ONES WITH $640,000 HOME. YES, I'M A BIT SAD BY THE DEMOLITION OF SOME OF THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES, BUT THE MOVING OF TWO OF THEM IS A COMPROMISE AND I THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE TO SALVAGE. SO I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT, TO GIVE A WHOLENESS TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IT SO WELL-DESERVES. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT IS LYNNA HOFFMAN, JOEL AND JACKIE. AND I'M NOT SEEING LYNNA HOFFMAN, JOE. >> I GUESS I'M UP THEN. I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS WHO TOOK THE TIME TO MEET AND WALK THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO VIEW EXAMPLES OF COMPATIBLE INFILL PROJECTS ANDDAPTIVE REUSE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS. I ALSO WANT TO SAY I'M NOT OPPOSED TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES HAVING ADDITIONAL HOUSING ADDED TO THE ST. ROSE PRESERVATION DISTRICT. BOTH CAN HAPPEN ALONG WITH PRESERVATION. SINCE THE PRESERVATION DISTRICT WAS FONDER THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS PROJECTS BOTH RESIDENTIAL, NON-RESIDENTIAL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED BY ADAPTIVE REUSE AND NEW INFILL AND BY FOLLOWION GUIDELINES FOR BUILDING IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS. THE APPLICANTS ARE ASKING TO DEMOLISH AN ENTIRE CITY BLOCK OF OUR PRESERVATION DSTRICT. MOSTLY OF KNOWN CONTRIBUTORS TO THE DISTRIBUTE. THE GENERAL HOSPITAL, FOUR-UNIT APARTMENT BUILD AUGUST MOST OF THE BUNGALOWS ON MORGAN STREET ARE PART OF THE FABRIC THAT MADE MAKE UP THE DISTRICT. THE FACT THAT THESE STRUCTURES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE HISTORIC REGISTRY SHOULDN'T MATTER. THERE ARE STILL LOCAL CONTRIBUTORS AND I WOULD ARGUE MOST OF THE "PACIFIC SEASONINGS' BUILDINGS IN THE DISTRICT. WHAT ABOUT THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA'S OBJECTIVES STATED MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS ON PRESERVING ITS HISTORIC DISTRICT? THE 2035 GENERAL PLAN SAYS GENERAL PLAN POLICIES STRIVE TO ENSURE LONG-TERM HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN SANTA ROSA BY ENCOURAGING PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES, AS WELL AS THEIR SURROUNDING SETTING, IN AREAS OF NEW DEVELOPMENT, AND REDEVELOPMENT, BY DISCOURAGING DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC RESOURCES. IF THE PROJECT MOVES AHEAD AS PLANNED, IT SETS A DANGEROUS PRESS DEPOSIT NOT ONLY FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ST. ROSE HISTORIC DISTRICT, BUT ALL EIGHT OF SANTA ROSA'S HISTORIC DISTRICTS. I URGE THE PLANNING COMMISSION NOT TO APPROVE A PLAN THAT SAYS TOTAL DEMOLITION IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO. HOW ABOUT A WIN-WIN? WHERE CATHOLIC CHARITIES GETS A BETTER FACILITY OR HOUSING IS ADDED TO THE ST. ROSE DISTRICT AND THE PRESERVATION DISTRICTS GETS TO STAY INTACT? THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT IS JACKIE CENTER. I DON'T SEE HER. SHE DID QUITE SOME THINGS ON HER CARD, WHICH WE'LL PUT IN THE RCORD. SO NEXT IS JEFF COHEN FOLLOWED BY SUSAN HAYES. >> I WANTED TO START OFF BY JUST THANKING ALL OF YOU FOR THE TIME AND DEDICATION AND CARE THAT YOU HAVE DEVOTED TO TIS PROJECT. MY NAME IS JEFF COHEN AND I'M THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR PROVIDENCE ST. JOSEPH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING THIS THE HOSPITAL AND OUR CEO. WE ARE HERE TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE CARITAS VILLAGE PROJECT, WHICH WILL PROVIDE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING WITH ON-SITE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. AT PROVIDENCE ST. JOSEPH HEALTH WE BELIEVE HEALTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO LIVE THE HEALTHIEST LIFE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE POOR AND VULNERABLE. BUT IT'S NOT EASY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO CALL HOME. OUR FOUNDING SISTERS UNDERSTOOD BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT HOUSING AND HEALTH CARE ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED AD HAVE MINISTERED TO NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS IN EARLY DAYS AND ST. JOSEPH DEVOTES RESOURCES, ACTIVITIS AND SERVICES THAT HELP BUILD LIVES AND CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVES AND DISADVANTAGED. PROVIDENCE ST. JOSEPH HEALTH HAS SEEN THE IMPACT TAT STABLE HOUSING MAKES OBHASSELBECKING AND THE UNFORTUNATE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PERSONS WITHOUT PROPER HOUSING. IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, KEEP TELLING US THAT HOMELESSNESS AND INADEQUATE HOUSING ARE KEY NEEDS IN SANTA ROSA AND THROUGHOUT OUR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION. CLONESERING HOMELESSNESS IS A MAJOR BARRY TO HELP IN EVERY COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE SERVE. THAT IS WE [LLAUGHTER] ED THE [LLAUGHTER] INGED THE HOUSING IS HEALTH AND COMMITTED TO SUPPORT AND INVEST IN AFFORDABLE PERMANENT HUSING FOR THOSE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE LIVING ON THE STREETS. P IT'S A MORAL IMPERATIVE AND STOKELY STRONGLY URGE THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S SUPPORT. >> I LIVE NEAR THE TEEN CENTER AND ALSO A BOARD MEMBER OF THE WEST END ASSOCIATION AND VOLUNTEER WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES THROUGH SAM JONES OUTREACH AT MORGAN STREET AND WORKING RN AND WORK PRT-TIME IN HOME HEALTH. IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THERE WAS NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT THE CENTER. THE CLOSE EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH THE HOMELESS INDICATES THE NEED FOR SERVICES THAT CARITAS WILL ACCOMPLISH. THE FOLKS ARE HERE BECAUSE DOWNTOWN AREAS OFF MORE HASN'TSING AND WELFARE. WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE GROUP IT'S CARE, THE REDWOOD MISSION FEEDS AND OVERNIGHTS PEOPLE AND ST. VINCENT KEPAULS FEEDS DAILY AND PROVIDES FOOD AND MUCH-NEEDED CASE MANAGEMENT. FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER FEEDS, HOUSES AND PROVIDES CASE APARTMENT FOR THOSE WITH CHILDREN. MANY CHURCHES PROVIDE OCCASIONALLY OERNIGHT STAYS ANDDIN HE. SANTA ROSA OFFERS THE BEST SUPPORT IT'S ABLE TO DO. CARITAS VILLAGE WITH CONTINUE TO WELCOME FOR APPROPRIATE CARE AND PLAY. JESUS SAID THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE WITH U AND IFEER NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, WE'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. LASTLY THERE'S ALWAYS AN INVITE TO TOUR ANY SITE AND DISCUSS ISSUES FUNCTIONING IN THE RESIDENCES AND STAFF MEMBERS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, LET THEM KNOW AND INFORMATION TIMING ARRAIGNED. MANY THANKS AND PLEASE SUPPORT THIS APPROPRIATE CAUSE WITH AN OPEN HEART. THANK YOU. >> [ READING SPEAKERS' NAMES ] [SPEAKER NOT UNDERSTOOD] I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M HEARING A LOT OF COMMON GROUND HERE AS FAR AS WE WANT THIS BUILT. I'M OBVIOUSLY IN SUPPORT OF IT, TOO, AS A WORKING-CLASS PERSON MYSELF. I UNDERSTAND AND HAVE BEEN CLOSE MYSELF TO GETTING INJURED ON TE JOB, NO HEALTH INSURANCE, OR CRAPPY HEALTH INSURANCE, YOU KNOW? YOU MISS ONE PAYCHECK AND MISS ANOTHER YOU ARE OUT ON THE STREET AND NO ONE WANTS THAT. I HOPE IN THE SAME VEIN I BUILDING THIS ITS UNDERSTOOD AND APPRECIATED THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT MORGAN STREET RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE THICK OF IT, THIS BUILDING TRULY ALLEVIATES THE RAMPANT LOITERING AND VAGRANCY AND HOWLING AT THE MOON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE CARS OUT OFTEN THE STREETS WITH JACKED UP AND OIL POURED IN THE STREET AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES LIKE THAT AND HEALTH ISSUES AND NEEDLES AND HUMAN FECES AND THE WHOLE SMEAR. SO THE EXTENT THAT THIS GETS BUILT AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT IT'S ALSO APPRECIATED THAT IT ALLEVIATES THAT. THAT IS TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE BOTH. AN INCREASE IN THE POPULATION OF RESIDENTS ON MORGAN STREET AND NOTHING CHANGE S TO THE ECENTIC THINGS THAT GO ON IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ON A DAILY BASIS. I WOULD ALSO SUBMIT THAT YOU CONSIDER A SIZE OF THIS BUILDING CARITAS VILLAGE TO BE MANAGED BY GOOD PEOPLE AT CATHOLIC CHARITIES MANY OF THEM I KNOW AND CALL FRIEND AND THEY EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THAT AS WELL. SO ITEMS LIKE 24-HOUR SECURITY AND PROPERTY MANAGERS ON FACILITY AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDING FOR THIS ALSO INCLUDES THAT. SO THAT IT BE BUILT IN A MANNER WHEREBY ALL THAT CAN COME TO -- CAN BE MANAGED EFFECTIVELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. NEXT IS DENISE HILL, FOLLOWED BY PETER STANLEY, FOLLOWED BY VASCO. >> HI. AS A 30-YEAR RESIDENT OF THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK AFTER TOURING AROUND WITH EACH OF PLANNERS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS. I THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S A REALLY NICE LITTLE TINY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST HISTORIC DISTRICTS, ACTUALLY THE FIRST HISTORIC DISTRICT FORMED IN 1990. SO 30 YEARS AGO, THAT HISTORIC - WAS IN EFFECT. BECAUSE IT WAS FELT TO BE THE MOST ENDANGERED AREA FOR BEING DESTROYED BY DEVELOPMENT DUE TO ITS LOCATION. SO IN 2015, CATHOLIC CHARITIES, WHO HAD BEEN LEASING THE PROPERTIES PURCHASED THE PROPERTIES ON THE BLOCK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS PROJECT. THEY WERE AWARE AT THE TIME TAT THIS WAS AN HISTORIC DISTRICT. AND NEIGHBORS VOICEDED THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY MIGHT DESTROY BUILDINGS. YET THEY PUT THROUGH A PROPOSAL THAT STATES IT WILL DESTROY ALL HISTORIC STRUCTURES. THERE WAS NO OLIVE BRANCH TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY HAVE MET AN OFFERED MEETINGS, LOTS OF COMMENTS THAT WERE DIRECTED AT LET'S NOT DESTROY SO MANY HISTORIC BUILDINGS TO DO THIS PROJECT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. SO WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES CARITAS CENTER BEING BUILT. I WILL ECHO MATT'S CONCERNS THOUGH THAT THE CARITAS CENTER NAVIGATION CENTER HAS GOT TO HAVE BETTER CONTROLS AND GUIDELINES AND MANAGEMENT THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW AT 600 MORGAN STREET, WHICH IS VERY LAX AND A CONSTANT ISSUE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS AT LEAST. WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CARITAS HOMES AND THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD DESTROY SO MANY HISTORIC STRUCTURES. FEDERAL-STATE GUIDELINES FOR HISTORIC DISTRICTS LIST AS BEST PRACTICES FOR NEW BUILDINGS TO BE INFILL AROUND HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND CURRENTLY I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING THAT ADDRESSES DESTROYING AN ENTIRE BLOCK OF AN HISTORIC SCHOOL DISTRICT IN ANY FEDERAL GUIDELINES OR STATE GUIDELINES. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERE IS AWIN-WIN. CURRENTLY IT'S A WIN-LOSE, THE HISTORIC DISTRICT LOSES, THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES LOSE, AND A WIN-WIN WOULD BE IF SOME OF THOSE HSTORIC STRUCTURES GET SAVED. IDEALLY MORE THAN JUST ONE O TWO. SO THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, AND WE HOPE THAT WE WILL SEE THAT HAPPEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. PETER STANLEY, FOLLOWED BY VASCO. >> CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THANK YOU, I'M WITH ARCHEOLOGICKS A DOWN BUSINESS OSH AND RESIDENCE OF SANTA ROSA OVER 40 YEARS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING VERY ELOQUENT SPEAKERS TALK ABOUT THE NEED AND DESIRE FOR SOLVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I SEPARATE SIX YEARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DAIS AND THE DIFFICULTY OF HAVING TO COME UP WITH THE DECISIONS. WE THANKFULLY PUT URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIS IN DCADES AGO AND KNEW AT THAT TIME AND THE CONVERSATION WE WERE HAVING THAT AT TIME, WE WOULD HAVE TO INTENSIFY DEVELOPMENT CLOSER AND CLOSER IN TOWN. WHAT WE DID OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS IS BUILD SUBDIVISIONS SINGLE-FAMILY SMALL-LOT SUBDIVISIONS THAT DID NOTHING TO BRIG AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE STABBED HERE TONIGHT AND LOOK AT THIS CRISIS THAT WE HAVE IN HOUSING AND LOOK AT THE CRISIS IN ABOUT HOMELESSNESS, AND WE CAN TRACE ALL OF THESE THINGS BACK TO VERY GOOD DECISIONS MADE AT ONE TIME, BUT THEY HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. I WITH WOULD PROPOSE THAT WE HAVE A LAND UE CRISIS IN COMMUNITY, BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING TO ERODE THE EDGES OF THE OPPORTUNITY ZONES. I'M ENCOURAGING YOU TO REALIZE THROUGH THE 2007 SPECIFIC PLAN AND AMENDMENTS PUT IN PLACE NOW AND THE GREAT WORK THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING, IS THAT IF WE START TO EODE THE INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE DOWNTOWN, TEN YEARS FROM NOW WE'LL HAVE THIS EXACT CONVERSATION. YOU HAVE TWO EXCELLENT ORGANIZATIONS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR DECADES AND CATHOLIC CHARITIS AND BURBANK HOUSING AND AL THEY ARE ASKING IS THAT COMMUNITY IS TO PLEASE GIVE THEM 20TH CENTURY SOLUTIONS, TOOLS TO SOLVE THESE 20TH CENTURY PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE. THIS IS A CRITICAL PROBLEM WE'LL NEVER SOLVE IF WE KEEP WORRYING ABOUT DIMINISHION THE EDGES OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO COMPASSATIONAT LY LOOK AT THESE PROJECTS. TWO EXCELLENT PROVIDERS THAT WILL BE IN OUR COMMUNITY, PART OF OUR COMMUNITY IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM AND IENCOURAGE TO PUSH IT FORWARD AND BRING TO COUNCIL. >> FOR FULL DISCLOSURE I'M A BURBANK EMPLOYEE, BUT SPEAKING AS A RESIDENT OF THE WEST END. PLEASE STANDBY MY NAME IS GREG STOEL AND FORTUNALITY ENOUGH SERVE AS BOARD MEMBER FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND WE AGREE THAT HOMELESSNESSS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS US CRISIS AND YOU HAVE IN FRONT TO MOVE THE NEEDLE. MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS OBVIOUS AND ADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT-RISK OF HOMELESSNESS. ONE BEEN POINTED OUT EARLIER THIS 000 WE HAVE TWO VERY COMPONENT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOGETHER, CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND BURBANK HOUSING WITH SUBSTANTIAL TRACK RECORD AND IT'S MY BELIEF THIS COMBINATION IS POWERFUL TO GET THIS DONE. WE HAVE IDEAL PROPERTY OR LAND FOR THIS PROJECT. IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT YOU CAN DEVELOP A ENTIRE CITY BLOCK AND IT'S IMPRESSIVE WE HAVE THAT ASSET AND ABLE TO USE IT. WE HAVE COMMUNITY FINANCIAL SUPPORT DISCUSSED TONIGHT WE CLOSED CLOSE TO $22 MILLION ALREADY. WHAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IS THE FACT IT INCLUDES ALL THE LOCAL HOSPITALS; IT INCLUDES THE LOCAL BANKS AND INCLUDES MANY, MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. OUR CURRENT HOMELESS SHELTER IS OVER 100-YEARS-OLD AND IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. IF WE'RE ABLE TO BUILD THIS WE CAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE PUT IN PERMANENT HOUSING. I JUST ASK TONIGHT YOU MOVE FORWARD EXPEDITIOUSLY AND APPROVE THIS PROJECT SO WE CAN GET IT BUILT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK? OKAY. GREAT. JUST STATE YOUR NAME, PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS JOE. I WANTED TO SPEAK AND I AM A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE FOR CONGRESSMAN THOMPSON AND LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-EMPHASIZE THE ADDITIONAL TAX CREDITS WE WERE ABLE TO ALLOCATE AT THE END OF LAST YEAR $1 BILLION WITH A B AND JUST SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DISASTER COUNTIES A HUGE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME WIN TAT THEY ARE ALLOCATED QUICKLY AND BE USED IN PROJECTS IMMEDIATELY. AS TAKING OFF MY PROFESSIONAL HAT AS A RESIDENT OF 8TH STREET AND EARLIEST MEMORIES IN SANTA ROSA WAS ACCOMPANYING MY MOM TO WORK AT JUST DOWN THE BLOCK ON 7TH AND A STREET. I BELIEVE IN THE VIBRANCY AND HISTORIC NATURE OF THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT FACILITIES MAY BE OLD BUT DOESN'T MAN THEY ARE HISTORIC. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BE BOUGHT UP TO CURRENT STANDARD AND NOT SAFE FOR CURRENT USES OR FUTURE USE. I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS. THAT YOU HAVESERING. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK? OKAY NOT SEEING ANYONE ELSE RISE I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR BEING ORDERLY AND RESPECTFUL. I THINK IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, I WOULD LIKE THE COMMISSION TO HAVE A REALLY SHORT BREAK, SO WE'RE FRESH TO THE RESPONSE TO THE CONCERNS OF THE PUBLIC. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK. >> IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR SEATS I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL OUR MEETING BACK TO ORDER. AND I THINK I HAVE TWO MAJOR CNCERNS THAT I HEARD, OE OF WHICH DEFINITELY ARE A NUMBER OF WHICH NEED TO BE HANDLED BY THE APPLICANT. SO IF THE APPLICANT WOULD BE WILLING TO RESPOND TO TE CONCERNS EXPRESSED ABOUT HOW THE SECURITY SYSTEMS ARE BEING HANDLED THE CURRENT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND NOW THE NAVIGATION CENTER WILL BE HANDLED IN THE FUTURE, SO THAT IS ANSWERED. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT THE OPERATIONAL COMPONENT OF OUR PROJECT. I WILL TALK FROM THE PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT AND THEN WE'LL INVITE OUR ARCHITECT, TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE DESIGN ELEMENTS. JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE CONCERNS AROUND THE CURRENT OPERATIONS AND HOW THIS PROJECT WOULD HELP IT? HELP THE OR ENHANCE THE OPERATIONS? WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH BEEN DOING ADAPTIVE REUSE THE LST 30 YEARS AND FEEL THE FACILITY HAS RUN ITS COURSE. IN PARTICULAR WITH THE DROP-IN CENTER, SERVING A NMBER OF INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OUT A TWO-BEDROOM HOME BECAUSE THE BUILDINGS WERE NEVER NECESSARILY MEANT FOR THAT AND WE HAVE BEEN ADAPTIVELY REUSING THEM. IN TERMS OF THE PROJECT WE'LL LOOK AT A BUILDING ALLOWING FOR THOSE SAME INDIVIDUALS TO BE SERVED IN ENHANCED WAY IN MUCH LARGER SPACE AND ALSO BE LOOKING AT ENHANCING OUR EXISTING GOOD-NEIGHBOR - ENSURE THAT POLICY TO INDIVIDUALS TAT COME INTO OUR PROGRAMS, THEY SIGN A PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND PART OF IS THAT THEY WILL BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR WHILE THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT VIOLATED OUR GOOD-NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY TO DO EXTENSION OF SERVICES. WE HAVE A 24-HOUR HOTLINE THAT PEOPLE CAN CALL, IF THEY HAVE CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY OR IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE HAVE 24-HOUR STAFFING CURRENTLY ON THE SITE, TO MITIGATE ANY ISSUES. WITH THIS NEW PROGRAM, WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ENHANCING THE NUMBER OF STAFF AS PART OF THE BURBANK HOUSING PROJECT. AND WE ALSO WILL HAVE OUR INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY SPREAD ACROSS THE COMMUNITY WILL BE THERE, TO MORE PROACTIVELY DEAL WITH PROBLEMATIC ISSUES GOING ON AND THE RESIDENT PROGRAM WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR MORE INTENSIVE SECURITY ON-SITE. DURING THE AFTER-HOURS TO CONTINUE TO HELP MITIGATE ISSUES IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. I WOULD ASK OUR ARCHITECT WITH THE DESIGN ELEMENTS TO DEAL WITH SOME OF OUR CURRENT LIMITATIONS AROUND OUR OPERATIONS. >> WHAT I COULD DO IS JUST HELP YOU VISUALIZE A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK WITH THE NEW FACILITY THERE. WHEN IT COMES TO THE HOUSING AT THE NORTH END THE SITE, THE ENTIRE GROUND FLOOR IS LINED WITH HOUSING ON GROUND FLOOR. PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN PORCHES AND PATIOS AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF EYES ON THE STREET, WHERE PRESENTLY THERE AREN'T REALLY ANY. ON THE "AROUND SOUTHERN END DOZENS OF SOCIAL WORKERS WILL BE STAFFING THAT FACILITY AND CAMERAS ARE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY MONITORING ALL THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING AND ALL OF THE STREETS WITH CAMERAS. THE ENTRY TO THE FORMER ALLEY, WHICH WLL NOW BECOME A MUSE, WILL BE GATED AND LOCKED WITH ACCESS ONLY BY STAFF, RESIDENTS WILL BE COMING INTO THEIR OWN LOBBIES. SO ALL EDGES WILL BE CAREFULLY CONTROLLED AND MONITORED AT ALL TIMES 24-HOURS. >> THANK YOU. FOR STAFF, MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE US AN IN-DEPTH ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MULTI-STRUCTURES BING DEMOLISHED? HOW THAT IS BEING HANDLED IN TERMS OF THE GENERAL PLAN GUIDELINES AND POLICIES REGARDING HISTORIC STRUCTURES? AND THE CONCERN THAT IN MOVING THIS PROJECT FORWARD ARE WE SETTING A PRECEDENT THAT MIGHT HARM OTHER HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS? >> ALL RIGHT, I WILL TAKE A STAB AT ANSWERING THAT. SO I'M GOING TO HIT THE FIRST QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER YOUR ACTIONS TONIGHT ARE PRECEDENT-SETTING DOES THAT BEAR THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO DO THAT ON EACH AND EVERY PROJECT INSTEAD OF ENTITLEMENTS? OF COURSE NOT, THIS IS A CASE-BY-CASE REQUEST THAT COMES TO YOU. SO TONIGHT YOU ARE LOOKING AT CHANGING OF LAND USE DESIGNATION AND YOU ARE ALSO LOOKING AT A PROJECT AND ACT TONIGHT BASED ON ALL OF INFORMATION YOU HAVE AND THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND BALANCE SOME COMPETING INTERESTS. AND NOW IN TERMS OF POLICY, THE COMPETING INTERESTS IS OUR DOWNTOWN, OUR HOUSING NEEDS, THE NEEDS TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS, URBAN DESIGN, AS WELL AS HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS SPOKE TO POLICIES THAT DISCOURAGE DEMOLITION. THOSE ARE ALL TRUE AND THOSE ARE ALL ADOPTED POLICY AND OUR GENERAL PLAN INCLUDES THE COLLECTION OF THOSE. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PROJECT YOU ARE BALANCING THOSE AND DECIDE WHAT ARE THE MOST RELEVANT AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT? AND IN TERMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, THIS IS A DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT DOESN'T SHY AWAY FROM THE IMPACTS. IT BEARS IT ALL. AND, IN FACT WE ARE THROUGH THIS ANALYSIS FINDING IT'S SIGNIFICANT. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT CONSIDERING AND MAKING RECOMMENDATION FOR A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS. THESE ARE NOT TAKEN LIGHTLY, BUT WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU THERE TERMS OF BALANCING POLICIES, LOOKING AT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, AND BALANCING WHETHER IT'S APPROPRIATE TO DO A STATE OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS? >> THROUGH THE CHAIR, IF I MIGHT? >> YES. >> I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME CLARITY IN THE EVENT YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT PROBABLY YOUR PACKETS MANY FRONT YOU ABOUT THE LEVEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS THAT IS PRESENTED IN THE EIR. TABLE 3.6-1, ON PAGE 3.6-6 IN THE LAND USE CHAPTER A GENERAL PLAN POLICY CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS THAT EVENTS POLICIES RELATIVE TO THE PROPOSED APPLICATION IN FRONT OF YOU? SO THAT WILL GIVE YOU A CONTEXT -- YOU WANT ME TO SAY THE NUMBERS AGAIN, TABLE 3.6-1 AND IT'S LOCATED ON PAGE 3.6-6. AND THAT IS THE GENERAL PLAN POLICY CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS. THERE WAS ANOTHER POINT RAISED NOT ONLY IN YOUR QUESTION, BUT THROUGH SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT SPEAKERS ABOUT THE IDEA OF THE IMPACTS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE CHALLENGES THAT BRINGS TO THE DISTRICT. AS STAFF AS ALLUDED TO, WE DID NOT SHY AWAY AT FINDING THAT TO BE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT AND THAT ANALYSES IS CONTAINED ON PAGE 3.4-14. I WON'T READ IT FOR YOU, BT IN SUMMARY -- IT WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL ADVERSE CHANGE TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN SUMMARY. >> THANK YOU. SO I BELIEVE THAT ADDRESSES TE MAIN CONCERNS BROUGHT UP BY THE PUBLIC, AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE COMMISSION THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO WE COULD START WITH STAFF. LET'S TRY TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHO IS ANSWERING THE QUESTION, LIKE IF WE NEED TO TALK TO POLICE OR FIRE, THAT IF WE ALL -- SO WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE JUMPING UP-AND-DOWN AND JUST TRY TO DO THAT AND MAKE A COORDINATED EFFORT WHO WE'RE ASKING AND HOW LONG THEY NED TO BE UP THERE. COMMISSIONER DUGGAN, GO AHEAD. >> I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. ONE WAS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MADE THE STATEMENT THAT SHE BELIEVED TWO STRUCTURES -- TWO HISTORIC STRUCTURES WERE GOING TO BE MOVED AND THAT IS NOT IN THE PLAN, IS THAT CRAIG? I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS UNDERSTOOD. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THE PROJECT INCLUDES DEMOLITION OF ALL STRUCTURES ON THE SITE CURRICULUM VITAE I HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. WE DON'T NEED A MAJOR USE PERMIT FOR THE SHELTER AND THE MINOR PERMIT, THE USE LANGUAGE IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS IN THE EXISTING 2010 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. AND SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING THE REGULAR MEETING WITH NEIGHBORS AND ALL THE PARKING NEEDS TO BE ON SITE. SO IS ANY OF THAT LANGUAGE CARRYING OVER? IS IT GOING TO BE PART OF THE MINOR USE PERMIT, OR IS THAT LANGUAGE BEEN CHANGED NOW? >> THE CURRENT RESOLUTION DRAFTED WOULD SUPERSEDE THE PREVIOUS USE PERMIT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND ADDING ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, THAT IS IN YOUR PURVIEW. >> IF WE WANTED TO ADD THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. OKAY. AND ALSO, I WANTED TO ASK IF YU HAVE GOT ANY DATA ON THE NUMBER OF CODE ENFORCEMENT CALLS THAT HAVE BEEN CALLED IN FOR THE EXISTING -- THE USE PERMIT CURRENTLY IN FORCE AND THE NATURE OF THOSE CALLS? >> I DON'T HAVE THE STATISTICS OF THE NUMBER OF CALLS, BUT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE CODE ENFORCEMENT ON THE SITE. >> I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND FOR FIRE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ALONG THESE LINES FOR KRISTINAE? COMMISSIONER CARTER. >> THIS IS A REAL BROAD PROCESS QUESTION, BUT THE APPLICANT ASKED IF WE DON'T APPROVE THE PROJECT, WE DENY IT? CAN YOU DISCUSS WAT THE PROCESS WOULD BE IF A DENIAL WAS TO OCCUR? >> HI. I DON'T KOW IF THEY WANT TO ADD CLARITY TO THAT, BUT BASICALLY WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS A PROPOSED PROJECT AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT YOU APPROVE AND THE REQUESTED ENTITLEMENTS AND THE EIR. IT'S WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW IN THE ALTERNATIVE TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF ANY OR ALL OF THE RESOLUTIONS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU. IN THAT INSTANCE, HOWEVER, WE WOULD BE ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE SOME DIRECTION TO STAFF AS TO WHY YOU ARE MAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION, AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE DISCUSSION OF SOME FINDINGS TO SUPPORT YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL. I MEAN, IT'S ALWAYS THE CHOICE IS ALWAYS BEFORE YOU. YOU CAN RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE YOU CAN RECOMMEND DENIAL. YOU CAN RECOMMEND SOME MODIFICATIONS. >> PERHAPS IT'S A QUESTION BEST ANSWERED BY THE APPLICANT. IT SEEMED TO ME THERE WAS SOME UNDERSTANDING HOW IT WOULD PROCEED IF THERE WAS DENIAL. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT, IF THERE WAS INTENTION FROM THE APPLICANT FOR A NEXT STEP, I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IT BETTER. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CARTER, TINA WALLIS AGAIN. I THINK WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A DECISION TONIGHT THAT EITHER THE COMMISSION WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROJECT, AS WE PROPOSED IT, OR IF YOU ARE UNABLE T MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION, THAT YOU THEN RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL DENY THESE APPLICATIONS. OUR UNDERSTANDING, AND I WOULD OF COURSE DEFER TO STAFF AND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, IS TAT BECAUSE IT'S A RECOMMENDATION, THIS WOULD MOVE FORWARD TO COUNCIL AND ULTIMATELY COUNCIL WOULD MAKE THE ULTIMATE DECISION AS TO APPROVAL OR DENIAL BASED ON THIS COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OR RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL. >> SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR NOW. BUT WOULD A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL GO TO THE COUNCIL, OR WOULD IT HAVE TO? >> IT WOULD GO TO THE COUNCIL. >> THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. >> JUST TO ADD, CHAIR CISCO AND MEMBERS, THE IDEA HERE IS THAT THE APPLICANT IS INDICATING A PREFERENCE TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL, GIVEN SOME OF THE FUNDING DEADLINES. AND THAT A CONTINUANCE IS NOT IN THEIR INTEREST AT THIS POINT, WHICH IS ANOTHER OPTION THAT I OF COURSE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSION. >> VICE-CHAIR WEEKS AND COMMISSIONER PETERSON. >> HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. THERE WAS SOME QUESTIONS AROUND PARKING. AND STREET PARKING. IS MORGAN STREET IN PART OF THE PARKING? IS THERE A PARKING DISTRICT -- THE PART OF MORGAN STREET THAT IS BETWEEN 7TH AND 6TH? >> YES. >> WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION >> OKAY. [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> NO CALL-OUTS, PLEASE. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THIS DONE. THANKS. >> SO THAT IS ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF. IF CULTURAL HERITAGE BOARD AND DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DON'T APPROVE THE PROJECT WHEN IT COMES TO THEM, WHAT HAPPENS? I KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT BINDING. SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? >> THE APPLICANT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL THEIR DECISION TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD MAKE THE ULTIMATE DECISION ON THE PROJECT. >> AND THEN THE REMAINDER PARCEL THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR HOUSING. WHEN DOES THAT PLAN ON GOING TO CITY COUNCIL? >> GOOD EVENING THE HOUSING AUTHORITY APPROVE CONVEYANCE TO COUNCIL MONDAY FEBRUARY 2TH AND WE'RE PLANING A CLOSED SESSION WITH COUNCIL ON MARCH 3RD AND PROCEED WITH AN OPEN SESSION ITEM FOR THE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION AT A LATER DATE. IT WILL BE SCHEDULED IN THE NEAR-FUTURE. >> COMMISSIONER PETERSON. >> SO ON THE LAND USE FRONT, TRYING TO FORMULATE A COHERENT QUESTION HERE. HOW DOES THAT INTERACT WITH THE OTHER LAND USE DESIGNATIONS, THE MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, AND THAT SORT OF STUFF? I GUESS IS THE PURPOSE TO KIND OF KEEP HISTORIC DISTRICTS AS A FIXED MORE MUSEUM-TYPE PIECE? IT AMORE DYNAMIC OVERLAY? HOW DOES THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE OTHER LAND USES, HOW DO THEY INTERACT? >> I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF MIXING AND MATCHING. WE HAVE THE GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS, WHICH IS MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, TRANSIT VILLAGE MIXED AND THOSE ARE ABOUT GENERAL LAND USE TYPES AND GENERAL LEVELS OF INTENSITY. IN TERMS OF URBAN INFILL AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION. THE ZONING THAT YOU REFERENCED SUPPORTS FOR SPECIFIC LAND USE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE WAY THE ZONING CODE WORKS FOR LAND USE I AN HISTORIC DISTRICT IS -- THIS IS ACTUALLY WRITTEN IN THE H-COMBINING DISTRICT PART OF THE CODE AND SAYS FOR LAND USES YOU DEFAULT TO THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT THAT DICTATES THE LAND USES THROUGH OUR LAND USE TABLES. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED OR DO MULTI-FAMILY OR YOU CAN DO A NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE. SO IT'S THE BASE DISTRICT THAT DICTATES THE LAND USES. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT'S NEIGHBORHOOD-COMMERCIAL, THAT IS WHAT YOU LOOK FOR LND USE. FOR DESIGN GUIDANCE, IT'S -- THERE ARE SOME DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THE ZONING CODE. SO THAT TALKS ABOUT HEIGHT, HOW SETBACKS ARE GOING TO BE TREATED IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS. THERE'S FLEXIBILITY THERE IN TERMS OF DISCRETIONARY PROCESSES, AND JUST OUTRIGHT FLEXIBILITY, ESPECIALLY ON SETBACKS. AND ALSO, DESIGN -- WE HAVE DESIGN GUIDELINES. SO THOSE ARE GUIDELINES AND NOT LEGISLATIVE LIKE OUR ZONING CODE AND OUR GENERAL PLAN, BUT HELP US INFORM THE "HOW" PART THAT FOLLOW S THE DISCUSSION ABDICATES HOW IT FITS. I WOULD SAY THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE STATIC, BUT SUPPOSED TO EVOLVE OVER TIME, BUT BALANCING NEW CONSTRUCTION AND A LOT OF POLICIES SPEAK TO NEW CONSTRUCTION IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS. >> WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THE PRESERVATION DISTRICT ISN'T DRIVING OR CONTROLLING THE LAND USE? THE ZONING ISN'T FIXED AS A RESULT OF BEING IN A PRESERVATION DISTRICT? >> T'S NOT DICTATED BY THE PRESERVATION DISTRICT. >> COMMISSIONER OKREPKIE. >> DURING THE NON-AGENDA MATTERS DWAYNE DEWITT IMPLIED THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THIS. CAN YOU SEAK TO THAT? >> YES. THIS IS NOT THE SAIL SITUATION. IN THIS INSTANCE, AS WE JUST HAD A SMALL DISCUSSION WITH COMMISSIONER CARTER, THESE WOULD BE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. SO YOU WOULD NOT FIND YOURSELF IN THAT SAME SITUATION OF AN APPEALABLE ACTION. IT WILL GO STRAIGHT ON TO THE COUNCIL ON THE2ND - I MEAN THE 3RD, WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS. >> OKAY. AND THEN CAN OUR CONSULTANTS SPEAK TO -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE LETTER FROM VERY THOROUGH LETTER FROM JEFF ELLIOT, REPUT BUT BUT THING YOUR FINDINGS ON THE SANTA ROSA GENERAL HOSPITAL. >> PART OF IT IS WAT HE EXPRESSED IN THE LETTER, I BELIEVE WHAT JEFF WAS LOOKING AT WAS THE NARRATIVE BODY WITHIN THE CONSULTANT'S HISTORIC RESOURCE REPORT, WHICH WS PREPARED BY BRUNSELL HISTORICAL CONSULTING. THAT NARRATIVE WITHIN THE BODY WAS JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE BROADER HISTORICAL CONTEXT THAT WERE DEVELOPED AND INCLUDED IN THE APPENDIX ON THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION 523 FORMS, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR DOCUMENTING HISTORIC PROPERTIES. AND SORT OF SO THAT STATE CAN TAKE THOSE AND HAVE THEM WITHIN THEIR FORMATTING. WITHIN THAT THERE'S SOME OF JEFF'S CONCERNS INVOLVED CITATION OF PRIMARY RESOURCES, DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS IN HISTORIC NARRATIVE, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THAT IS ALL ACCOUNTED FOR IN THAT DPR FOR. THE CITIATIONS ARE THERE AND THE PRIMARY SOURCES THAT HE WANTED TO SEE, MAYBE NOT THE EXACT SPECIFIC ONES CERTAINLY ALIGNED IN THE BROADER SOURCE MATERIALS. BY LOOKING AT THE THAT AND WHAT JEFF PRESENTED AND WHAT OUR CONSULTANTS FOUND, THERE IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENCES OF OPINION, BUT IN A BROADER SENSE WTH THE GENERAL HOSPITAL THE THINGS THAT JEFF PUT FORWARD IN TERMS OF EVIDENCE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE DIDN'T -- I MEAN HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE IS BASED UPON FOUR CRITERIA FOR ESTABLISHING THAT SIGNIFICANCE. FIRST ONE IS ASSOCIATION WITH EVENTS OR PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT. NO. 2 IS WITH ASSOCIATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PATTERNS OF HISTORY. THREE IS FOR ARCHITECT DESIGN METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. AND FOUR, THE POTENTIAL TO YIELD INFORMATION AND THAT IS MORE TIED TO THE ARCHEOLOGIC COMPONENT. OF COURSE A PROPERTY HAS TO EXHIBIT INTEGRITY, MEANING IT HAS TO HAVE SEVEN -- MEET SEVEN CATEGORIES OF SORT OF TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ELEMENTS TO SORT OF CONVEY ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. AND WHAT JEFF PREPARED AND OUTLINED AS POINTS SUPPORTING HIS ARGUMENT THAT THE GENERAL HOSPITAL WAS, IN FACT, ELIGIBLE AS AN HISTORIC PROPERTY WASN'T NECESSARILY CONTEXT. IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION -- NOT IMPORTANT INFORMATION, BUT MORE INTERESTING INFORMATION. THE CONTEXT THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT WOULD BE SOMETHING ABOUT AND FORGIVE ME I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SPECIFIC EXAMPLES THAT HE USED. BUT I BELIEVE ONE OF THE THINGS -- ONE OF THE COMMON THEMES WAS THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS VERY -- THEIR MISSION WAS VERY CARING. THEY TOOK CARE OF THEIR RESIDENTS AND PATIENTS AND LEVEL OF CARE WAS HIGH, SO IT WAS CELEBRATED IN THE COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, JUST BECAUSE THE CARE AT A LEVEL OF A HOSPITAL IS BASICALLY BECAUSE THEY WERE GOOD AT THEIR JOBS DOES THAT ACTUALLY QUALIFY AS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR PATTERNS IN HISTORY? THERE ISN'T NECESSARILY ASSOCIATION WITH DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL PRACTICE. THERE ISN'T -- I MEAN HE REFERENCES THE ADVERTISE THE USE OF AMBULANCES AND THAT WAS BECOMING A COMMON THING IN THE LATE 19TH, EARLY 20TH CENTURY. WE STAND BY WHAT OUR CONSULTANTS PUT TOGETHER AND WE'RE PREPARING A RESPONSE TO HIS CONCERNS, AND ALTHOUGH WE DISAGREE CERTAINLY HIS LEVEL OF RESEARCH AND HIS CARE IS COMMENDABLE. SO THERE IS THAT. >> AGAIN, TREVOR WITH STANTEC CONSULTING AND ALSO TO ADD IN ADDITION TO THAT IS THE CEQA GUIDELINES AND THE STATE STATUTE ALLOWS FOR DISAGREEMENT AMONG EXERTS, OKAY? SO THE IDEA HERE IS THAT BOTH ARE UTILIZING A DIFFERENT OPINION ON THE SAME MATTER AND WE'RE PRESENTING FOR DISCLOSURE. THE IDEA THAT WE'RE PRESENTING ALL THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION TO THIS BODY, S YOU FEEL YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. AS I ALLUDED TO EARLIER, THE FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR IMPACT ARE AT THE HIGHEST-LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE AND NOT TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC THAT WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACT. >> COMMISSIONER PETERSON. >> WELL, I HAVE GOT YOU GUYS ON A SIMILAR TOPIC, CAN YOU TELL ME, I'M LOOKING AT TABLE 3.4.1 ON AND SORT OF ALONG SAME LINES IF YOU COULD SPEND SOME TIME JUST DISCUSSING HOW THE HISTORIC ELIGIBILITY IS EVALUATED BETWEEN STATE AND FEDERAL AND LOCAL RULES? >> ABSOLUTELY. THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS OUTLINED BY THE NATIONAL PARKS SERVICE AND THAT TOUCHS ON FOUR CRITERIA THAT YOU MENTIONED. EVENTS, PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT, INDIVIDUALS, DESIGN, POTENTIALLY INFORMATION AND AT THE END, INTEGRITY. ONCE YOU ESTABLISH WHAT THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF A PROPERTY IS AND UNDER WHAT HISTORICAL CONTEXT THEN YOU ASSESS WHETHER THE BUILDING RETAINS ITS INTEGRITY? MEANING DOES IT HAVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THAT SIGNIFICANCE? THE STATE-LEVEL IS A REITATION OF THAT, AGAIN THE FOUR CRITERIA. FOR THE LOCAL CRITERIA FOR SIGNIFICANCE, THEY BASICALLY BASE IT OFF THAT. IT'S THE FOUR ESSENTIAL CRITERIA, AND THEN ITS INTEGRITY AS THE FIFTH. SO IT'S PRETTYCONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD. IT'S JUST WHETHER IT'S TAILORED TO THE NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEWISVILLE. LEVEL. ARE DISTRICT CONTRIBUTORS AND 2015 THEY ARE INELIGIBLE >> HISTORIC DISTRICTS ARE VERY MUCH LIVING AND BREATHING NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY ARE NOT STATIC. THESE AREN'T MUSEUMS AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT ORIGINAL BLOOMINGFIELD STUDY WAS CONDUCTED YEARS AGO AND BY NATIONAL PARK STANDARDS THAT ORIGINAL SURVEY WILL BE OF HISTORIC AGE IN ITS OWN RIGHT. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF LCALITIS HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND IT'S HARD, BECAUSE YOU GO AND YOU CONDUCT A SURVEY OF A DISTRICT OR HISTORIC PROPERTIES, BUT ALL YOU ARE CAPTURING IS THAT EXACT MOMENT AND YOU COULD GO BACK TWO WEEKS LATER AND SITUATION COULD CHANGE. THE METAPHOR THAT CONSTANTLY IS USED IS PAINTING THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE AND YOU FINISH AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. IT'S THE SAME LOK AT HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. CERTAINLY IN THIS TABLE, WHICH IS FURTHER OUTLINED BY OUR CONSULTANTS TECHNICAL REPORT. THEY DO TALK ABOUT DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE BLOOMINGFIELD SURVEY AND SORT OF WHAT I PRESENTED NOW AS THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THERE'S A GRAPHIC INCLUDED IN THAT THAT SORT OF SHOWS THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THE BOUNDARIES AND IT'S BASICALLY HOW IT'S EVOLVED OVER TIME? THERE IS SOME GAPS JUST IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF IT. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY BASICALLY ADDRESS AT THIS POINT. IT'S A VERY PRELIMINARY RESURVEY EFFORT OF THE DISTRICT TO LOOK AT IT AS RIGHT NOW, KEEPING IN MIND THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE ON IT. >> THANK YOU. >> SO ON THAT NOTE, AND LOOKING AT THE TABLE 3.4-1. WHEN IT SAYS SOMETHING BY THE BLOOMINGFIELD RESULT DISTRICT CONTRIBUTOR AND NOW INELIGIBLE BECAUSE IT LACKS INTEGRITY. YOUR CONSULTANT NOTES SHE MENTIONED A LOT OF TIMES THE INTEGRITY WAS REFERRED TO THE WINDOWS WERE REPLACED OR BOARDED-UP OR DOORS WERE CHANGED OR MAYBE A PORCH HAD BEEN COVERED WITH SIDIONING AND WINDOWS. CAN THAT KIND OF INTEGRITY BE RSTORED AND WOULD THAT MAKE THIS BUILDING A CONTRIBUTOR? >> IT DEPENDS, WHICH I KNOW IS NEVER THE ANSWER THAT ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR, BUT THE CATCH-ALL ANSWER IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION. WHEN IT COMES TO RESTORATION WORK IT'S STRICTLY CONTROLLED OR STRICTLY OUTLINED BY A SET OF NATIONAL PARKS-LEVEL STANDARDS CALLED THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES. SPECIFICALLY FOR RESTORATION. ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THAT IS DOCUMENTATION. YOU DON'T WANT TO BASICALLY GO AND JUST ASSUME WHAT AN HISTORIC PROPERTY MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE, AND TRY TO BRING IT TO SOMETHING. YOU USUALLY LIKE TO BASE IT ON EVIDENCE, VIDEO OR PHOTOGRAPHIC TO INFORM THAT RESTORATION. SO IT DOESN'TMENT ABOUT SORT OF INAUTHENTIC AND SOMETHING LIKE APPLYING STUCCO TO WHAT USED TO BE REDWOOD SHAKE, PLAYING WITH WINDOW OPENINGS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. IT JUST COMES DOWN TO BASICALLY BASELINE RESEARCH, UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROPERTY, AND FUNDS. >> IF I COULD JUST ADD, DAN IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN THAT YOUR QUESTION IS WELL-INTENTIONED CAN YOU FIX SOME OF THE THINGS IDENTIFIED AS WRONG? I THINK IT'S A VALID CONCEPTUAL CONVERSATION FOR BASELINE CEQA ESTABLISHED AT THE POINT THAT THE APPLICATION IS DEEMED COMPLETE. SO ALL THEE THERE MINOR LEAGUE BE ALL THE OF THESE FORCES WHICH CAN COME NO THE PROJECT, WHETHER IT'S LIKE A LISTING OR CHANGE OF REGULATION, THE BASELINE WHICH WE EVALUATE THE PROJECT'S IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, IN CASE THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT ARE ESTABLISHED IN THE TIME THAT APPLICATION IS DEEMED COMPLETE OF THE YOU ARE NOT INCORRECT. YOU COULD PROBABLY FIX SOME OF THOSE THINGS, BUT CULTURELY CURRENTLY SPECKLATIVE. >> LOOKING AT MITIGATION MEASURE AND FIRST IS SALVAGE REPORT. WHAT HAPPENS TO IT? >> TYPICALLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS BASICALLY YOU WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD BE QUALIFIED WHETHER IT'S A CONTRACTOR OF SOME KIND WITH EXPERIENCE DOING THIS SORT OF WORK OR HISTORIC ARCHITECT THAT MEETS THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR'S PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS WOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF THE BUILDING. THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO DEMOLITION AND LOOK AT VARIOUS CHARACTER-DEFINING ELEMENTS OR HISTORIC MATERIALS THAT COULD EITHER BE SALVAGED AND REUSED. POTENTIALLY FOR OTHER BUILDINGS IN THE DISTRICT, OR OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE. AND THEN THEY COULD BASICALLY USE THOSE ELEMENTS TO BASICALLY JUST LIKE A SALVAGE YARD OF SORTS TO KIND OF BRING UP THEIR NEXT TO FIX THEIR HISTORIC HOUSES, AND CERTAINLY AGAIN, TO GO BACK TO REDWOOD SHAKE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND OF THAT ERA. IF YOU HAVE A HANDY SUPPLY, THAT COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO HOMEOWNERS TO REPLACE IN-KIND ON THEIR OWN HISTORIC HOMES. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. >> SO WHAT I'M WONDERING IS THE THIRD MITIGATION IS INTERPRETATIVE MATERIALS. AND IT SEEMS THERE MIGHT BE LINK BETWEEN THE TWO MITIGATION MEASURES, BUT IT'S NOT - THE FIRST ONE TAT THE REPORT SHALL BE USED TO DETERMINE WHICH MATERIALS ARE USED FOR INTERPRETIVE? AND FIRST MITIGATION SAYS IT CAN BE USED IN THE DISTRICT OR WHEREVER A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SAYS THEY CAN BE USED. WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO ADD LANGUAGE TO SAY, LOOK FIRST AT THE PROJECT AND INCORPORATING THEM IN THE PROJECT? I GUESS THAT IS KIND OF A MIXED QUESTION FOR CONSULTANTS AND STAFF HERE. >> SO YOUR CONCEPT IS NOT ONE THAT IS UNFAMILIAR TO A LOT OF MUNICIPAL PLANNING PROCESSES. THE INITIAL SALVAGE REPORT IDENTIFIES RESOURCES NOT ON THE THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE REUSED, BUT UNIQUE ENOUGH TO BE WORTH REUSESING; RIGHT? AND THEN THE INTERPRETIVE MATERIALS IDENTIFIED IN MITIGATION MEASURE CL3 IS OFTEN ADAPTATION OF THOSE PARTICULAR MATERIALS IN SAY A SITE FEATURE, WHETHER IT'S RELATED TO ART OR INCORPORATION IN INTERIOR DESIGN AND THE NEW BUILDING? THAT IS A VERY COMMON APPROACH OR METHOD. WE OFTEN SHY AWAY FROM TIEING THOSE TWO TOGETHER BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE. AS FAR AS THE PROCESS HERE WE CAN TAKE THAT NOTE AND ESURE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ADAPTIVELY BE USED ON-SITE AND IN INTERPRETIVE MATERIAL. >> JUST TO TAG ON TO THE QUESTION. IF YOU DO THE SALVAGE REPORT AND FIND SOME UNIQUE DETAILS THAT WILL YOU SALVAGE, WHO RETAINS POSSESSION AD CONTROL OF THOSE ITEMS BEFORE THEY ARE USED ON ANOTHER BUILDING? >> SO THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. DEPENDING UPON WHO DOES THE EVALUATION AND HOW THE CONTRACT OFTEN TIMES WORK. THAT IS NOT EXPLICITLY SPELLED OUT IN THE PROCESS. I WILL GIVE YOU CONTEXT TO PROVIDE THE RELEVANTATION. USUALLY THE WAY IT WORKS IS THAT THE APPLICANT WILL RETAIN THOSE MATERIALS ON-SITE UNTIL SUCH TIME, OR THERE WILL BE EVALUATED ON-SITE AND RETAINED ON-SITE UNTIL SUCH TIME UNTIL A QUALIFIED PERSON CAN DETERMINE HOW THEY NEED TO BE HANDLED. FOR EXAMPLE, SAY A PLASTER FIXTURE ON A WALL UNIQUE ORNATE AND BY TAKING IT OFF THE WALL, YOU COULD ACTUALLY DAMAGE IT. SO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE IT IN PARTICULAR FASHION AND MIGHT HAVE TO FIND AN EXPERT TO DO JUST THAT; RIGHT? SO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE RESOURCE IS WILL DETERMINE THE STANDARDS OF CARE APPLIED TO THAT RESOURCE. IN MOST INSTANCES IT'S THE APPLICANT'S CONTRACTOR WHO IDENTIFIS AND HOLDS THOSE ON-SITE. >> OMMISSIONER PETERSON. >> I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS WHILE WE'RE STILL WITH THE CONSULTANTS. SO WHEN WE ARE CHANGING GEARS A LITTLE BIT, TALKING ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WERE CONSIDERED FOR TE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. ONE OF THE CITERIA IS FIGURING OUT WHETHER THE ALTERNATIVES ARE FEASIBLE OR IMFEASIBLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT GOES INTO DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY, SORT OF WHAT CAN GO? IS IT MONEY, TIME, THAT SORT OF THING? >> SO THERE IS BASICALLY THREE FACTORS OF FEASIBILITY UTILIZED TO DEPARTMENT A PROJECT'S DEPARTMENT FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. I THINK MY OPENING REMARKS I MAZE THE POINT IT COMES OUT OF PROJECT IMPACT IDENTIFICATION. SO STEP ONE IS TO COME UP WITH A FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE IS IT FUNCTIONALLY REDUCTIONING WHAT THE PROJECT IS IMPACTING? SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAD HISTORIC IMPACTS BY ME SAYING EVERYBODY HAS TO DRIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO THIS FACILITY IS NOT GOING TO OFFSET THAT IMPACT; RIGHT? SO THERE HAS TO BE A NEXUS BETWEEN THE IMPACT FROM THE PROJECT AND THE ALTERNATIVE FORMULATION, WHICH WILL TRY TO ADDRESS THAT IMPACT. SECONDLY, YOU HAVE TO EVALUATE THE ALTERNATIVE'S CONSISTENCY WITH THE PROJECT'S OBJECTIVES AND THE PROJECT'S OBJECTIVES ARE THE RULES OF EVALUATION. NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ENTIRELY CONSISTENTED S WITH ALL THE PROJECTS OBJECTIVES AND CASE LAW IN OUR STATE HAS PROVEN THAT YOU ARE MOSTLY CONSISTENT AND I WILL TELL YOU THE PROCESS BY WHICH WE GO THROUGH IS TO REVIEW AN ALTERNATIVE AND SEE IF IT WILL LINE OUT WITH ALL THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES IDENTIFIED IN THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION. FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN ALTERNATIVE IS TO SY WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF THE HOMELESS CARE CENTER COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. WELL, THAT IS A FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVE AND ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE PROPOSING SOMETHING ELSE WOULD BE DEEMED INCONSISTENT. SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS INHERENTLY INCONSISTENT WITH CITY POLICY, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE LET'S PUT A 20-STORY HIGH-RISE ON THE SITED, YOU KNOW? IT WOULD BE FUNDAMENTALLY INCONSISTENT WITH CITY POLICY TO DO SUCH IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. AND THEN YOU HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION. I WILL JUST BRING THAT UP TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. BUT FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION IS VERY HARD TO PROVE ECONOMIC DISTRESS AS PART OF AN ALTERNATIVE'S CONSIDERATION, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE COST OF AN ALTERNATIVE IS NOT QUANTIFIABLELY IDENTIFIED IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT THE PRACTICAL FEASIBILITY DETERMINATION COMES IN RELATED TO ECONOMICS. OR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A PROJECT WHICH REQUIRED SAY A SHOULDER WIDENING, BUT YOU KNOW THE FINANCIAL -- ANOTHER FINANCIAL SOLUTION WAS TO BUILD A FIVE-MILE LONG BRIDGESING, YOU KNOW? AT A CERTAIN POINT THERE BECOMES A FINANCIAL EONOMIC IMFEASIBILITY RELATED TO HOW PRACTICAL THAT IS. I WOULD DEFER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO ADD CLARITY. >> THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THIS GROUP? >> HIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT POPPED IN MY MIND AFTER COMMISSIONER PETERSON'S QUESTION. IN THIS EIR THERE ARE TWO ALTERNATIVES ONE I THINK MEETS ALL PROJECT OBJECTIVES EXCEPT ONE. AND THE OTHER ONE MEETS ALL OF THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND WHEN DO YOU RECOMMEND YOU TAKE AN ALTERNATIVE THAN WHAT YOUR FIRST EXAMINING? >> LET ME -- SO LET RECITE YOUR QUESTION SO I UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY. I BELIEVE YOUR QUESTION IS ASKING AT WHAT POINT DO YOU DO CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE RATHER THAN A PROPOSED PROJECT, IF IT FULFILLS ALL THE OBJECTIVES. >> YES CAN YOU APPROVE AN ALTERNATIVE THAT IS NOT THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND THAT IS AT YOUR DISCRETION. THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WE HAVE EVALUATED THAT ARE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT ARE COVERED -- I WILL JUST USE THE TERM BOOK ENDSES OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE THE GREATEST LEVEL OF ENVIRONMENT AND ANYTHING OF ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATION COULD BE APPROVED BY YOU FOR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. SO YOU CAN MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE'S CHAPTER OF THE EIR, THERE'S A SPECIFIC SECTION, WHICH IS CALLED "THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE." AND IN THAT SECTION IT TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOW THIS ALTERNATIVE ACTUALLY ADDRESSED THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS THAT WERE RAISED BY THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND THAT IS WHAT IT DEEMS IT TO BE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE AND THE RECOMMENDATION OF STAFF TIS EVENING IS NOT NECESSARILY THAT. THERE ARE SPECIFIC FINDINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER THAT ACCOMPANY THE OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE NEEDED TO DO SO. THAT IS A IS A LOT AND I APOLOGIZE. PLEASE ASK ME MORE QUESTIONS. >> MY QUESTION IS FOR STAFF. IF WE CHOOSE TO TAKE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES, IS THERE A WAY TO DO THAT? SAY THE ALTERNATIVE THAT SAYS IT'S ENVIRONMENTAL SUPERIOR BECAUSE IT MVES ONE OF THE HOUSES. >> I WOULD LIKE TO JUST BACK UP FOR A SECTION AND JUST ADD SOMETHING TO WHAT TREVOR IS SAYING IN THE CEQA CONTEXT IT COMES INTO PLAY AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. FIRST AS TREVOR WAS COMPLAINING IN THE SELECTION OF ALTERNATIVES THEY HAVE TO BE POTENTIALLY FEASIBLE I ORDER TO BE STUDIED IN THE EIR. SO SOME OF THOSE THAT HE MENTIONED AT FIRST THAT WERE REJECTED, WERE NOT POTENTIALLY FEASIBLE. SO THAT IS MORE LOOKING AT THE OBJECTIVES, AND WHETHER THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY POLICIES? ONCE YOU GET TO THE POINT YOU HAVE REVIEWED -- YOU HAVE DONE THE ANALYSIS. NOW WE'RE AT THE POINT, ONE OF OUR ACTIONS TONIGHT IS CERTIFYING THE EIR IS THE FIRST RECOMMENDED ACTION. AND THE SECOND RECOMMENDED ACTION IS ADOPTION OF FINDINGS OF FACT MITIGATION MONITORING AND STATE OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS. IT'S IN THIS SECOND STEP THAT THERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT FEASIBILITY. AND THEREIN IT'S NOT JUST LOOKING AT THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND CITY POLICIES. IT'S ALSO LOOKING AT ECONOMIC IMFEASIBILITY AND LEGALISM FEASIBILITY AND THE DEFINITION OF FEASIBLE IS CAPABLE OF BEING ACOXED IN A SUCCESSFUL MANNER IN A REASONABLE PRIOD TIME, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, COMMENCING, ENVIRONMENTAL, TECHNOLOGY IDEAL AND LEGAL FACTORS? SO THAT IS THE TYPE OF BALANCING THAT COMES INTO PLAY FOR MAKING THE FINDINGS OF FACT AND THE BALANCING THAT TREVOR SPOKE OF IN DOPTING THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS. SO IT REALLY GOES BEYONDS JUST PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND LOOKING AT IS THIS A REAL FEASIBILITY ALTERNATIVE? IF YOU LOOK IN THE FINDINGS OF FACT AND I KNOW IT'S A LONG DOCUMENT, BUT IT'S ATTACHED TO THE SECOND RESOLUTION. THERE ARE SECTIONS ADDRESSING SPECIFICALLY FEASIBILITY ON EACH OF THE ALTERNATIVES AND THERE IS EVIDENCE PROVIDED TO SUPPORT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THOSE TWO ARTICLIVES ARE IMFEASIBLE AND IN MAKING THE FINDINGS OF FACT THAT ARE PRESENTED HERE TO YOU THIS EVENING, YOU WOULD BE RECOMMENDING THAT CITY COUNCIL FIND THOSE ALTERNATIVES IMFEASIBLE AND PRIMARILY, THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE IN THERE AS TO THE ECONOMIC IMFEASIBILITY, TIMING, COST OF MOVING THESE STRUCTURES. SO THAT WOULD BE FOR THE SECOND RESOLUTION. AND IF YOU WERE INCLINED TO BE PURSUING -- I THINK TO GET TO YOUR QUESTION, HOW WE WOULD DO THAT? I THINK IT WOULD BE MOST PRUDENT IN THE FINDING OF FACTS AND STATEMENTS OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS WHEREBY YOU COULD CERTIFY THE EIR. YOU COULD RECOMMEND CERTIFICATION, I'M SORRY, AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ALL OF THE ENTITLEMENTS. IF YOU SO DESIRED. AND IF YOU WANTED TO FOCUS IN ON SIMPLY THE FEASIBILITY OF ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES IN THE SECOND RESOLUTION, YOU COULD CONSIDER RECOMMENDING ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES INSTEAD ON FEASIBILITY GROUNDS. ONE OPTION AND ALSO I MEAN THE APPLICANT HAS SEEMINGLY -- THEIR PREFERENCE IS OBVIOUSLY FOR THE PROJECT AND THEY HAVE ASKED FOR A VOTE UP ON THAT, BUT JUST AS A REMINDER TO THEIR REQUEST. I THINK THE BEST CONTEXT IS IN THE SECOND RESOLUTION FOR FINDING SAYING I AGREE WITH THE LANDS USE AND AGREE WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PROJECT. I THINK THAT YOU COULD DO MORE TO MITIGATE, BECAUSE REALLY THESE ALTERNATIVES ARE ABOUT ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES. IT'S NOT ABOUT ANOTHER FOOTPRINT, ANOTHER 50' STRUCTURE AD WHAT IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS INSTANCE? SO IF THE QUESTION IS HOW TO DO THAT ALTERNATIVE, I THINK IT ONLY SPEAKS TO THE FEASIBILITY OF THE ALTERNATIVES AND THE FEASIBILITY OF MITIGATION MEASURES WHICH INCLUDE MOVING ONE OR MORE OF THE STRUCTURES. >> THANK YOU. >> DD I GET IT? >> I THINK SO. YES. >> OKAY. >> COMMISSIONER OKREPKIE. >> AS A FLLOW-UP, IF WE OPT -- I'M SORRY, AS A FOLLOW-UP, IF WE OPT FOR ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES IS THAT THE ONLY ONE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDERS A RECOMMENDATION OR WILL THEY SEE THE ENTIRETY? >> I WOULD MAKE YOU MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON EACH OF THE PROPOSED ACTIONS BEFORE YOU AND FIRST ONE IS CERTIFICATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE EIR. I'M SORRY, CAN THE COUNCIL CONSIDER THEN ALL THE ALTERNATIVES? YES. YOUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THEM FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION; THEY WILL BE CONSIDERING ALL OF THE SAME ISSUES HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC AND CAN MAKE THEIR OWN FINAL JUDGMENT, AND DECISION. >> VICE-CHAIR WEEKS. >> IN RESOLUTION 2, PAGE 24 OF 88. IT TALKS ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF ALTERNATIVE 3. AND IT GIVES A COST TO MOVE THE HOUSES, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE A COST TO REHAB THE HOUSES TO CURRENT CODE AND I WONDERED IF THAT PLAYS A PART AT ALL IN YOUR EVALUATION? UNLESS IT'S THERE AND I JUST MISSED IT? >> THERE'S A LOT OF PAPER THERE, SO WHAT I WANT TO RESTATE THE QUESTION TO MAKE SURE I CAN GIVE YOU AN ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. I BELIEVE THAT THE QUESTION IS THE FEASIBILITY OF PRESERVING THE STRUCTURE AND REHABBING THEM, CRRECT? AND WHETHER THAT WAS EVALUATED FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE? SO IT WAS. ALTERNATIVE -- I WILL POINT YOU TO THE RESOLUTION IT'S PAGE 24 OF 88. SO IN THE MIDDLE OF PGE 24 OF 88. TE PRESERVATION ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATED THAT -- I'M JUST GOING SUMMARIZE, ASSUMING YOU GET TO THAT SAME PAGE SHORTLY FINANCIAL IMPACT OF NOT ONLY THE DELAY, BUT ALSO THE REHAB WOULD TOTAL $2.25 MILLION. BUT THE MOVING COSTS WOULD BE $750,000. I'M TRYING TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANOTHER HARD COST NUMBER? I BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE ANTICIPATED ECONOMIC COSTS THAT WERE EVALUATED. >> I READ THAT AND SW THAT, BUT I WAS JUST WOULD WONDERING OF THAT AMOUNT, DO YOU EVALUATE AND TYPICALLY WHAT IT COSTS TO REHAB THE BUILDINGS TO CODE? >> I WISH I COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION. UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT MY PARTICULAR EXPERTISE. I GUESS I WOULD DEFAULT TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. >> I MIGHT ADD, WE COULD SEEK SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE APPLICANTS ON THIS IN TERMS IF THEY HAVE GOT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE COSTS TO DO THE REHAB? BECAUSE IT'S TRUE THE NUMBERS HERE WERE PROVIDED TO US AND SET FORTH IN THE FINDINGS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY IT WOULD COST MORE TO DO THE REHAB. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I KNOW YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF POLICE AND FIRE. YES. LET'S GO TO THAT. >> I HAVE GOT A COUPLE FOR THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER. AND THEN ONE FOR FIRE. SO THE 6TH AND 7TH STREET LINKAGE PROJECT DOCUMENT THAT -- I THINK FIRST DESCRIBED THE ROUNDABOUTS THAT ARE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN THAT NOTED THE PLAN FOR THOSE ITERSECTIONS AT 6TH AND A AND 7TH AND A COULD COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATE THE TRUCKS AND ASKING FOR A REDUCTION IN THE SIZE OF ROUND ABOUTS SAYING THAT TRUCKS OF CERTAIN SIZE WON'T BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE LEFT-HAND TURNS AT THE ROUNDABOUTS. IS THAT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM? THAT IS THE FIRST PROBLEM AND DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE PLANS ROUND ABOUTS WILL NEVER BE INSTALLED AT THE INTERSECTION? >> THE ANALYSIS SHOWED FIRE APPARATUS AND TRUCKS MAKING THE TURN -- THE LARGE TRUCKS NOT MAKING THE TURNS, BUT FIRE APPARATUS MAKING THE TURNS AND SMALLER TRUCKS MAKING THE TURNS AND LARGER TRUCKS ALL TO GO THROUGH TO THE MALL FOR DELIVERIS. >> THEY WOULD JUST MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON 6TH AND GO TO MALL. >> CORRECT AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE IS TO EXIT FROM THAT ROUND ABOUT. >> WHAT IS THE HEIGHT CLEARANCE OF THE MALL? >> I BELIEVE THE HEIGHT CLEARANCE IS ADEQUATE FOR DELIVERY TRUCKS. IT'S 5TH STREET WHICH IS LIKE 7 SOMETHING FOOT HEIGHT. >> OKAY. >> SO IF IT PROVES TO BE IMFEASIBLE TO CONTRACT THE SMALLER DIAMETER ROUNDABOUTS IS THERE ORIENT MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE FLOW AT 6TH AND 8TH STREET? >> AT 6TH AND 8TH LIKELY A SIGNAL IS ADEQUATE AT THAT LOCATION. IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE WITH ROUNDABOUTS AND WE WOULD BE THRILLED TO IMPLEMENT THOSE FOR PEDESTRIAN. >> IT HAS AN UNUSUALLY HIGH COLLISION RATE -- IF PEOPLE EXITING THE MALL, AND COMING STRAIGHT OUT, AND CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. >> BY DESIGN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE SAFETY-WISE THAN A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR AN INTERSECTION THAT IS ONLY CONTROLLED BY STOP CONTROLS. IF IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, TAT WOULD BE GIVING DIFFERENT APPROACHES THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OBVIOUSLY FOR THEIR MOVEMENTS. AND TRAFFIC CIRCLE, YOU ARE ONLY LOOK FOR ONE DIRECTION FOR SOMEONE TO COME AROUND THE CORNER AND FOR PEDESTRIANS OBVIOUSLY. BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE MUCH MORE SAFE. >> AND SO IS THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES ON THE DOCUMENTS, ARE THEY BEING BUDGETED FOR? IS THERE SOME SORT OF TIMEFRAME THEY MIGHT BE CONSTRUCTED? >> ALONG WITH THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN UPDATE, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC. THIS TRAFFIC MODEL IS DONE WITH THE OLD VERSION OF THE TRAFFIC MODEL. THE NEW MODEL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YT, AND I THINK IT'S JUST BEING COMPLETED. SO WE'LL HAVE TO ANALYZES THE USE OF ROUNDABOUTS WITH THAT NEW MODEL AS WELL. IT MAY SHOW THAT THEY ARE NEEDED. IT MAY SHOW THEY ARE NOT NEEDED BUT WE WANTED PRESERVE THE RIGHT TO PUT THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES IF IF THEY ARE , IN FACT, NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. >> ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT MORGAN AND 6TH AND ON-RAMP TO 101. IF TE PROJECT GOES FORWARD AND ADDS MORE RESIDENTS AND PEDESTRIANS TO THE INTERSECTION, I THERE ANY KIND OF PLAN TO PUT IN A DEDICATED LEFT TURN SIGNAL FOR TRAFFIC ON 6TH STREET COMING FROM THE WEST ENDS DISTRICT COMING EASTBOUND TO TURN LEFT ON TO THE ON-RAMP? I KNOW ; RIGHT? NOW IT CAN BE A HAIRY INTERSECTION. >> DESIGN DOES TAKE NO CONSIDERATION THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY ADD THE LEFT TURN AT THAT INTERSECTION. >> GOOD, THANK YOU. >> ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER, VICE-CHAIR WEEKSSING. >> IT TALKS ABOUT THE CLOSURE OF 7TH STREET DURING CONSTRUCTION AND MY ASSUMPTION BETWEEN A AND MORGAN, OR IS IT MORE THAN THAT? >> I'M GOING TO DEFER TO THE APPLICANT. >> WHEN THE APPLICANT COMES DOWN I'LL REASK THE QUESTION. >> ANYTHING ELSE FOR TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW? YOU WNT FIRE. >> OKAY. SO MY QUESTION FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WROTE THE LETTER, READ THE LETTER, BUT THAT IS INCLUDED IN APPENDIX K SAYS THAT THE PROJECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE NUMBER OF DEPARTMENT CALLS BY NEARLY 200 A YEAR OVER THE EXISTING CALLS TO THE EXISTING FACILITIES AND IF THAT IS GOING TO PUT EXTRA BURDEN ON ENGINE 1 OR ENGINE 11 ALT CAPACITY. >> MORE PEOPLE, MORE CALLS AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY DONE ON DENSITY OF POPULATION BEING SERVED. WE LOOKED AT THE FAMILY CENTER. WE RUN ABOUT TWO CALLS A MONTH TO THAT FACILITY. WE RUN ABOUT A DOZEN KALES CALLS TO NAVIGATION CENTER. THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE, BUT IT WILL BE OFFSET FROM OTHER LOCATIONS THAT THOSE SERVICES ARE BROUGHT HERE. SO THERE'S A BIT OF A TRADE-OFF. THE OTHER THING WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIS ON THEIR OTHER FACILITIES AND ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THIS FACILITY ABOUT ENHANCED MEDICAL STAFF ON-SITE. AND IN HOPES TO WORK THEM UP TO A FULL MEDFACILITY, WHERE THIS WILL ENTER PEOPLE, PATIENTS INTO THE EMS SYSTEM WITHOUT NECESSARILY CALL A FIRE ENGINE OUT. THEY WILL HAVE TRAINED STAFF TO HANDLE A MULTITUDE OF CALLS WITHOUT CALLING 911 AND THEY WILL BASICALLY BE STARTING THE ETS PROCEDURES THERE AND TRANSPORTING THEY WILL M TO AN AMBULANCE. IT'S NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT IT'S GOING TO OVERIMPACT OUR CURRENT SERVICES THERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALREADY WORKING ON HOW TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CALL VOLUME TO STATION 1 AND STATION 11 IN OUR OVERALL COVERAGE PLAN. >> THANK YOU. I THINK THE SAME APPENDIX ALSO SAID THAT TWO OF THE MEASURES THOO ARE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO POTENTIALLY LOOK AT TALKING TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE STRESS ON THE TWO ENGINE COMPANIS IS ADDING EXTRA PERSONNEL FOR THE TRUCKS SO THE TIME SPENT AT INCIDENT IS LESSENED OR DOING A SEPARATE RESCUE SQUAD. >> CORRECT. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MEASURES THAT I TALKED ABOUT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS PROJECT. BUT TO THE DOWNTOWN CORE SERVICES. >> ARE THOSE THINGS IN THE WORKS? ARE THOSE BUDGETED FOR AND WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME FOR ACTION? >> I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I KNOW WE RECENTLY HAD STAFFING STUDY THAT WAS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL. AND THAT THOSE ARE ITEMS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE DEPARTMENT. IT ALSO WOULD BE A LABOR/MANAGEMENT TYPE MOU CONTRACTUAL. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF FIRE? DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF POLICE OR ENGINEERING I GENERAL? ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? VICE-MAYOR WEEKS. VICE-CHAIR WEEKS. >> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CAPTAIN OR LIEUTENANT REGARDING CALLS FOR SERVICE. >> WHILE THE DEPARTMENT IS COMING DOWN, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION THAT MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. ON PGE 3.12-4 OF THE EIR. THERE'S AN ANALYSIS RELATED TO BOTH FIRE AND POLICE EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND QUANTIFIES THE NUMBER OF EXISTING CALLS RELATIVE TO THE PROJECT AREA. >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. >> GOOD EVENING. SO YOU HAVE INDICATED THAT YOU WOULD ANTICIPATE AN INCREASE IN CALLS FOR SERVICE WOULD YOU BE WORKING WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIS AND BURBANK AS FIRE IS TO HELP ALLEVIATE CALL FOR SERVICES AND WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE LESS CALLS FOR SERVICES SOMEWHERE ELSE? OR IS THAT KIND OF A SILLY QUESTION . IT'S NOT A SILLY QUESTION, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE LIKELIHOOD OF HANDLING LESS CALLS SOMEWHERE ELSE IS LIKELY, VERSUS, BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE THERE AND WOULD WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS. YES WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THERE MORE OR HANDLE MORE CALLS IN THAT AREA. STATISTICALLIS, I HAVE STATISTICS FOR YOU, BUT I THINK IT WILL COUNTER BALANCE ITSELF. >> I THINK ONLY THING I CAN ADD TO THAT, WE HAVE A STRONG HISTORY WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES HERE IN SANTA ROSA AND WORKING VERY COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. OUR DOWNTOWN ENFORCEMENT TEAM LITERALLY SPEAKS WITH THEIR TEAM EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND WORKS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES, AND CHIEF NAVARRO AND MYSELF MEET WITH THEIR CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND WE'RE OPTIMISTIC THIS STRONG RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND MITIGATE CALLS FOR SERVICE IN THAT AREA. >> AND YOU STILL HAVE THE DOWNTOWN OFFICE, IS THAT CORRECT? >> CORRECT. WE HAVE THE DOWNTOWN SUBSTATION AND WE JUST INCREASED OUR STAFFING ON THE DOWNTOWN ENFORCEMENT TEAM FROM FOUR OFFICERS TO SIX OFFICERS AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE A PRIORITY. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF POLICE? GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? HOW ABOUT QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? VICE-CHAIR WEEKS HAS SOME. >> SO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO CROSS PROBABLY BURBANK AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES LINES. SO I DON'T KNOW -- IF YOU BOTH WANT TO COME DOWN. SO MY QUESTION THAT I ASKED OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER ABOUT 7TH STREET CLOSURE. >> THE COSURE IS BETWEEN MORGAN AND A STREET. >> AND WHEN YOU HAD YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, WHAT WAS THE ATTENDANCE LIKE? >> I'M GOING TO ASK FOR HELP FROM JENNIE LYNN HOLMES TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, PLEASE. >> WE HD A VARIETY OF NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS OVER THE YEARS RANGING IN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE BASED ON CURRENT ISSUES. BUT AT TIMES HAD MAYBE TWO AND ALSO RANGE UP TO 50 AT TIMES OVER THE YEARS. >> THANK YOU. DON'T GO FAR. I THINK THE QUESTIONS I MIGHT BE FOR BURBANK. >> I HAVE A QUICK ONE FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES. GO AHEAD. >> SO THIS SPECIFIC ISUE IS BEYOND THE PURVIEW OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT HAVE THESE OUTREACH MEETINGS DISCUSSED DESIGN OF THE PROJECT SPECIFICALLY? >> YES. WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A COUPLE OF OUR QUARTERLY MEETINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS PART OF THE COMPLIANCE WITH OUR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WHERE WE HAVE PRESENTED SOME INITIAL CONCEPTS. OR ARCHITECTS CAME DOWN, AND ACTUALLY PRESENTED SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND GOT SOME INITIAL FEEDBACK IN THAT ARENA. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN BEFORE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AND CULTURAL HERITAGE BOARD TWICE BEFORE THIS. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU WANT TO MOVE ON TO BURBANK, VICE-CHAIR WEEKS? COMMISSIONER CARTER. >> CAN YOU SPEAK TO HOW YOU'LL DELIVER SERVICES DURING CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEW FACILITY OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES ON THE SITE? >> WE WILL NOT BE DISCONTINUING SERVICES DURING THE CONSTRUCTION. THAT IS WHY THE PROJECT IS IN PARTICULARLY THE HOUSING IS IN PHASE 1 AND PHASE 2. SO THAT WAS OUR PLAN TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SERVICES WHILE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS. >> AND THEN I'M JUST GOING TO ADD ON TO THAT ONE FOM MY PERSPECTIVE, IN CONTINUING THOSE SERVICES WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IN PLACE, AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU TRY TO DO TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT STRATEGY DO YOU HAVE FOR THAT? BECAUSE THAT COULD BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN HOW YOU ARE TRYING TO NAVIGATE PROTECTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MEET THE CONDITIONS OF YOUR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR NON-NUISANCE? DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT? DURING CONSTRUCTION? >> YES. I COULD TALK ABOUT OPERATIONS AND MAYBE OUR PROJECT MANAGER COULD TALK ABOUT THE SPECIFICS AROUND CONSTRUCTION. IN TRMS OF INTERIM OPERATIONS AND HOW WE'LL CONTINUE THAT. WE'LL CONTINUE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN OUR GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY. AND JUST TO KIND OF NOTE THE GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY I SOMETHING THAT WE IMPLEMENTED VOLUNTARY AND IT'S ACTUALLY NOT IN OUR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BUT SOMETHING THAT WE BELIEVE IN AND PUT IN ALL OF OUR PROGRAM AGREEMENTS TO COORDINATE WITH TE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. SO WE'LL CONTINUE THOSE THINGS AND WE ALSO HAVE SECURITY ON-SITE AND WE'LL CONTINUE THAT SECURITY DURING THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION PHASE. ADDITIONALLY I DON'T BELIEVE WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF OUR EXISTING FOOTPRINT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND CONTINUE TO MANAGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT FROM OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT AS WE DO SO RIGHT NOW. AND IF THERE'S ANY PARTICULAR CONSTRUCTION THINGS WE HAVE OUR PROJECT MANAGER WO MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT. >> VICE-CHAIR WEEKS. >> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. BACK LAST CENTURY WHEN THE HOMELESS SERVICE CENTER FIRST STARTED THERE WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT REINSTITUTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH THE INCREASE OF OPERATION? >> THAT COULD DEFINITELY BE SOMETHING WE'D BE HAPPY TO CONSIDER. LIKE I MNTIONED WE HAVE PRETTY CONSISTENT INDIVIDUALS THAT COME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, WHICH WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR. WE'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK A MORE FORMAL WAY FOR OUTREACH, ICLUDING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ONE OF THE BENEFITS THIS PROJECT HAS COME AND WASN'T NECESSARILY ANTICIPATING WAS THE CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE ACTUALLY CREATES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SOME OF THE DOOR-TO-DOOR CANVASSING AND MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN UNDERSTANDING OUR CURRENT OPERATIONS AND WANT TO BE PART OF FUTURE OPERATIONS AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE HAPPY TO CONSIDER AND IMPLEMENT. >> ANYTHING ELSE FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES? AND YOU AE MOVING ON BURBANK NOW. >> QUESTIONS FOR BURBANK. WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE -- SORRY, MARK. SO WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE CDBG DR MONEY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE IN PLACE T ACTUALLY MAKE APPLICATION FOR THAT? AND WHAT CAN THEY BE USED FOR? CAN THAT MONEY BE USED FOR SITE WORK, AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION? >> SO WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS YET. WHAT I HAVE HEARD IS THE PROHIBITION FOR USING CBG, THE STANDARD PROHIBITION FOR USING CDBG FOR CONSTRUCTION IS WAIVED. YOU MAY RECALL YOU ARE LIMITED TO SITEWORK. BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NEED TO APPLY, IT LOOKS LIKE MEGAN IS GOING TO BAIL ME OUT HERE. >> I LET HIM SUFFER THROUGH THAT. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR WRITTEN DIRECTION FROM STATE, BUT THE GENERAL GUIDELINES THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS PROVIDED US THUS FAR IN THE ACTION PLAN IT CAN BE USED FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND PARTICULARLY IN SANTA ROSA, WHICH WAS ALLOCATED $38.5 MILLION NEW CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING. THERE'S A MINIMUM PROJECT SIZE OF EIGHT UNITS. THERE IS A MINIMUM AFFORDABILITY LEVELS. SO PROJECTS HAVE TO BE HALF AFFORDABLE AND TARGETING LOWEST INCOME-LEVELS AND THE STATE LAYERS ON PER UNIT SUBSIDIES. SO THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE IN ASSISTANCE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR MORE INFORMATION TO COME FORWARD FROM STATE HOW THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THAT WILL OCCUR? WHEN YOU WILL ACTUALLY GET THE ALLOCATION AND BE ABLE TO START ALLOCATING ? } THE STATE INDICATED WE WOULD HAVE THE INFORMATION IN FEBRUARY. WE'RE HOPEFUL MARCH, BUT I THINK REALISTICALLY SUMMER OF 2020. >> ONE MORE QUESTION FOR MARK AND TIMING ISSUES AND YOUR TIMELINE. IF THE COUNCIL APPROVES EVERYTHING ON TUESDAY, WHEN WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO START SITEWORK, DO YOU THINK? >> START THE SITE WORK? >> START SITE WASHING. >> WORK. >> ABOUT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. COMMISSIONER DUGGAN. >> THIS IS MORE AN OPERATIONAL QUESTION AND IN THE DOCUMENTS IT TALKS ABOUT BURBANK HOUSING HAS GUIDELINES FOR HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN THE DFFERENT SIZES OF UNITS, ONE PERSON IN A STUDIO, I BELIEVE, AND I TINK IT AVERAGES 2.7 OF YOUR UNIT SIZES. AND THE RESIDENTS SIGN A CONTRACT THAT THEY UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL THE RULES. AND I THOUGHT OF THIS QUESTION, BECAUSE OF A COMMENT FROM ONE OF NEIGHBORS. WONDERING ABOUT HOW IF PEOPLE HAVE OVERNIGHT GUESTS, OR FAMILY MEMBERS COME FROM OUT OF TOWN, ARE THEY LIMITED TO HOW LONG THEY CAN STAY OR THE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD FARCE AS FAR AS PARKING AND THE GUIDELINES AROUND THAT? >> OUR DEPUTY PROPERTY MANAGER WILL ANSWER THAT FOR YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. WHEN THEY SIGN A LEASE, OCCUPANCY -- OCCUPANCY WE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINE WHICH IS ONE PER BEDROOM MINIMUM. UP TO TWO PER BEDROOM PLUS ONE IN THE UNITS MAXIMUM. SO A STUDIO HAS NO BEDROOM. WE'LL ALLOW A COUPLE IN A STUDIO, THAT'S IT, YOU KNOW, TWO, AND THE ONE-BEDROOM IS ONE PERSON MINIMUM, THREE PEOPLE MAXIMUM. 1-3. TWO-BEDROOMS, SO THE TWO BEDROOM IS 2-5 PEOPLE MAXIMUM. THAT'S IT. WE HAVE A PLAN SET-UP, IF THEY EXCEED THAT, IF THEY ARE IN THAT ONE-BEDROOM AND HAVE MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE A COUPLE MOVES AND HAVE A BABY AND BABY NO. 2 IS COMING WE PUT THEM ON A LIST. AND HITTING 6, THEY GET NOTICE TO RELOCATE AND THEY HAVE SIX MONTHS TO FIND HOUSING AND BECAUSE WE'RE ATTACHED TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES WE'LL HAVE THE RESOURCE TO FIND THE LOCATION AND MRE APPROPRIATE SIZE APARTMENT. W HAVE A STRICT GUEST POLICY IN THE LEASE. WE NEED T KNOW WHO IS IN THE BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S' A SAFETY THING AND IN AN EMERGENCY, WE NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR. PEOPLE KNOW AFTER A VISITOR COME WILL STAY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS IS THEIR HOME AND WE WANT THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO VISIT, BUT THEY CAN'T STAY MORE THAT TWO WEEKS EVER MANY ONE CALENDAR YEAR, THAT IS HOW WE CONTROL HOW MANY PEOPLE WHEN THE MANAGER BECOMES AWARE OF AN EXTRA PERSON, WE ASK THE QUESTION AND THERE'S A POLICY, AND THERE'S A PROCEDURE, THERE'S WARNINGS. THEY ARE GIVEN MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION, SO THEY STAY IN COMPLIANCE. THAT IS HW WE CONTROL HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING AND ON THE PROPERTY. >> COMMISSIONER OKREPKIE. >> I WAS JUST LOOKINGING AT THE HOUSING ACTION PLAN. I KNOW IT'S EARLY IN THE PROCESS OF HOW MANY THE UNITS YOU ALLOCATE TO THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF AFFORDABILITY AND INCOME? >> I CAN ANSWER THAT VERY SPECIFICALLY FOR PHASE 1 HOUSING AND FOR PHASE 2. WE HAVE 30 OF THE 64 UNITS AT 20% AREA MEDIAN INCOME THOSE ARE THE HOMELESS-DEDICATED UNITS AND THE MIX IS 50-60% AMI. PHASE 2 WE HAVE A HANDSHAKE AGREEMENT WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES. PROBABLY IN THAT SAME KIND OF RANGE 50-60%. WAS THAT RESPONSIVE? >> YES, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR BURBANK ?. >> THE COMMISSION MAY WISH TO CONSIDER ONE LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE ALTERNATIVE AND THE FEASIBILITY OF THAT. YOU HEARD FROM STAFF HOW THE ALTERNATIVE WAS ANALYZED. IT WAS SELECTED. AND YOU HEARD FROM STAFF IN OUR RECOMMENDATION AND THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION THAT OUR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE ALTERNATIVE WAS IMFEASIBLE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT AND THE PROJECT ONBALANCE IS THE PREFERRED PROCESSING HENCE OUR RECOMMENDATION. BUT WHILE THE APPLICANT IS HERE, THIS MAY BE ONE LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONTOR CLARIFICATION. IF THE COMMISSION PLEASES. >> I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY ALL APPRECIATE THAT. BUT JUST BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY? NO? OKAY GREAT. MS. WALLIS. >> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO JUST TAKE A MOMENT, AND REITERATE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID. AND THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF "FEASIBILITY." UNDER CEQA. AND ALTERNATIVE HAS TO BE FEASIBILITY AND CEQA DEFINES "FEASIBLE" FEASIBLE MEAN S"{^} CAPABILITY OF BEING ACCOMPLISHED IN A SUCCESSFUL MANNER WITHIN A REASON PERIOD OF TIME, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ECONOMIC, VICTSERAL, LEGAL, SOCIAL, AND TECHNOLOGICALLY FACTORS AND WHAT THE APPLICANTS HAVE TOLD YOU TONIGHT THE ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT FEASIBILITY, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF BEING ACCOMPLISHMENTED IN A SUCCESSFUL MANNER WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. MR. BANKSBURG OUR PROJECT MANAGER SUBMITTED A LETTER ESTIMATING ALTERNATIVE 3 WOULD CAUSE A DELAY IN THE PROJECT BY AT LEAST 15 MONTHS, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. THE IMPACT OF THAT DELAY TO THE PROJECT A YOU HEARD EARLIER IS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO THE FUNDING AND JEOPARDYING THE FUNDING AND NOT ONLY WITH THE DELAY JEOPARDIZE EXISTING FUNDING SECURED, BUT DELAYS THE ABILITY TO GET OTHER FORMS OF FUNDING AS YOU HEARD. IN ADDITION TO THAT THE PROJECT WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO CURRENT ESCALATE CONSTRUCTION COSTS. SO WHILE THE FUNDS TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT ARE PUT AT-RISK, THE COSTS TO BUILD TE PROJECT IS INCREASING. SO IT'S A DOUBLE WHAMMY THAT MAKES THESE ALTERNATIVES IMFEASIBLE BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IT WOULD CAUSE AND TO SKIM MY NOTES. ALSO AS MS. KENDAL SPOKE THE LOSS OF THE NEW MARKET TAX CREDITS AND SHE CAN CERTAINLY ADDRESS THIS IN MORE AND BETTER DETAIL THAN I CAN, BUT THEY HAVE A TWO YEAR LOOK-BACK AND THE LONGER THE PROJECT IS DELAYED, THE MORE THINGS THAT FALL OFF THE LIST OUT OF TIME WINDOW THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO CONSIDER. SO THE $2.25 MILLION COST O ALTERNATIVE 3 WOULD BE EXACERBATED BY THE INCREASING CONSTRUCTION COSTS, AND IT WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE FUNDING. SO THE APPLICANT'S POSITION IS THAT THESE ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT FEASIBILITY, BECAUSE OF THE DELAYS THAT THEY WOULD CAUSE AND I SEE MS. KENDAL IS HERE AND I WILL ASK HER TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE NEW MARKET TAX CREDITS BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE PROJECT OF THE CARITAS CENTER. >> I WILL SAY I TRULY HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT ALTERNATIVE 3 WOULD HAVE ON OUR EXISTING FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED, THAT HAS VERY SPECIFIC TIMEFRAMES ABOUT WHEN WE NEED TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS, AS WELL AS THE FUNDING THAT WE'RE APPLYING TO THAT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED, AS WELL AS SPECIFICALLY THE NEW MARKET TAX CREDITS WOULD HAVE MAJOR EXPENSES OF THE PROJECT TO-DATE THAT WOULD NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE FOR TAX CREDITS THAT FRANKLY WOULD BE VERY GRAVE AND VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT FOR THE PROJECT. >> JUST AS A FOLLOW-UP, NOTE THE $2.25 MILLION ESTIMATED COST ESCALATION OF ALTERNATIVE 3 ONLY IT'S INCREDIBLY CONSERVATIVE, BECAUSE IT ONLY TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE COST ESCALATION FOR CARITAS HOMES -- EXCUSE ME, CARITAS CENTER AND DIDN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE COST ESCALATION FOR CARITAS HOMES. I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE APPLICANTS. >> ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. WALLIS? THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE WE START DISCUSSING IT? OKAY. NOT SEEING ANY RIGHT NOW. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK THAT WE DO, IS THAT SOMEBODY MOVE THE EIR CERTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION RESOLUTION FOR THE PURPOSES OF DISCUSSION. I THINK WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS JUST DISCUSS THE PROJECT GENERALLY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS, AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT THE REST FROM THERE. BUT TO TRY TO GET A SENSE OF HOW THE COMMISSION IS FEELING ABOUT THE PROJECT. SO WITH THAT, WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MOVE THE RESOLUTION? THIS IS THE SHORT ONE. VICE-CHAIR WEEKS WILL MOVE IT. >> I MOVE A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CERTIFY THE FINAL EIR EIR FOR THE CARITAS PROJECT AND WAIVE FURTHER READING O THE TEXT. >> I SECTION. >> MOVED BY VICE-CHAIR WEEKS AND SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER OKREPKIE. >> I THINK WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ADEQUACY OF THE EIR. [SPEAKER NOT UNDERSTOOD] DO THE ADEQUACY AND START TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PROJECT. >> I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT. I THINK THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGH THE SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS. IF THE HMES THAT WERE CONSIDERED OR CONSIDERED ELIGIBLE FOR THE LOCAL REGISTER AND LOCAL CONTRIBUTORS WERE MAINTAINED AND I WILL GO WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON PROJECT. >> COMMISSIONER PETERSON. >> I'M GOING TO TRY TO START BROADLY AND FUNNEL MY WAY DOWN TO THE EIR. I THINK THE PUBLIC COMMENTS WE RECEIVED BOTH IN WRITING, BUT ESPECIALLY TONIGHT HAVE REALLY EMPHASIZED THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE A LAND USE BODY, A LOT OF DECISIONS WE MAKE CAN HAVE PRETTY PROFOUND MORAL IMPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLES ALIVES AND THE CITY AS A WHOLE AND THAT ISSUE IS FLOWING THROUGH THE PROJECT. SANTA ROSA AS IN SOME WAYS BAD PLANNING AND I THINK THE PRESERVATION DISTRICT AS NOTED BY A MEMBER OF PUBLIC AROSE FROM THAT HISTORY OF SLASH AND BURN AND RUN A FREEWAY THROUGH IT. I THINK I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE REASON THAT THESE HISTORIC DISTRICTS EXIST, WHICH IS TO PRESERVE THESE CHARACTERS, AND SORT OF AT LEAST THE DESIGN LANGUAGE OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE HISTORIC VALUE OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE AND THE BUILDINGS. AT THE SAME TIME, THESE HISTORIC DISTRICTS AREN'T MUSEUM PIECES AND NOT STATIC AND FIXED-IN -TIME AREAS AND WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT ADAPTIVE REUSE AND THE EVALUATION OF THAT OPTION. AND I JUST THINK THAT THESE HISTORIC DISTRICTS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THEY EXIST, AND RIGHT NOW, ONE OF THE THOSE CONTEXT IS THAT THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA HAS DECLARED A HOUSING EMERGENCY AND IT'S DECLARED A HOMELESS EMERGENCY AND I THINK THAT INFLUENCES CERTAINLY MY CONSIDERATION AS WE EVALUATE WHETHER TO -- WHICH RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE TONIGHT? I THINK THE CITY HAS DONE -- AND THE APPLICANTS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, OF ADDRESSING OUTREACH AND REALLY GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND, WHETHER IT'S INCREASING THE DISTANCE TO WHICH THE NOTICES WERE SENT, THE WEEKLY MEETINGS AND THE OTHER OUTREACHES THEY HAVE HAD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T FEEL LKE ANYONE IS HIDING THE BALL HERE AS TO WHAT THIS PROJECT MEANS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE POTENTIAL CHANGES THAT WILL COME WITH IT. AS A PORTION OF THE ST. ROSE DISTRICT IT'S SORT OF A PENINSULA STICKING OUT AND SURROUNDED BY NOT THE MOST ATTRACTIVE OTHER LAND USES. PARKING GARAGES AND ON-RAMPS. AND I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO A DEMOLITION OF A CITY BLOCK, I THINK THAT CAN BE A TOUGH CALL TO MAKE. BUT THIS IS, AGAIN A UNIQUE LCATION WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THIS IS A UNIQUE TIME IN THE CITY'S HISTORY AND I THINK THAT THE CITY AND THE APPLICANT HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THE FRONT END TO TRY TO MAKE THIS PROJECT MAKE SENSE FOR THE CONTEXT IN WHICH IT'S COMING. IN TERMS OF THE EIR, I THINK THAT ARE NECESSARY AND I THINK IT'S VERY THOROUGH. I THINK WE HAVE THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED THE ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE AND I FIND IT PERSUASIVE AND WITH THAT, I WOULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO CERTIFY THE EIR. >> COMMISSIONER OKREPKIE. >> FIRST I JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS BY EVERYBODY AND I DON'T MEAN JUST STAFF AND THE APPLICANT, BUT THE CONSULTANTS AND THE NEIGHBORED AS WELL. IT'S SOME OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT I HAVE SEEN. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE THE LEVEL OF THE DETAIL AND INTERACTION THAT EVERYONE HAS HAD AND HOW POSITIVE IT'S BEEN. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS BASHING ANYBODY ELSE OR TALKING DOWN THE MERITS OF CONCEPT THAT I THINK WE ALL REALIZE IT'S NEEDED, BUT CERTAIN PARTS THAT POPLE HAVE ISSUE WITH. THE THING THAT DOES KEEP STICKING WITH ME THE INITIAL COMMENT BY MS. HARTMAN WE DECIDE IT NOT AND HOW AND WE'RE A LAND USE BODY AND RELY ON EXPERTS AND RELY ON STAFF TO GIVE US INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATION AND WE RELY ON OUR OUR ABILITIS TO MAKE THESE FINDINGS. SO I LOOK AT THIS AND FROM A LAND USE PERSPECTIVE, I CAN MAKE ALL THE REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR THE EIR AND THE ONE ISSUE THAT STICKS IN MY MIND IS COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STRATEGY, DOWNTOWN HOUSING, HOMELESSNESS, COUNCIL PRIORITIES. BUT IN THE DOWNTOWN HOUSING THERE IS A PART OF THAT SAYS "PRESERVATION OF HISTORICKAT DISTRICTS." THAT BECOME A PRIORITIZATION OF PRIORITIES, WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE DO. SO IN STRICTLY LOOKING AT THE LAND USE ISSUE, WHICH I DON'T MEAN TO OVERSIMPLIFY IT BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A SIMPLE PROCESS OR SIMPLE APPLICATION AND I CAN MAKE THE REQUIRED FINDINGS TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. >> COMMISSIONER DUGGAN. >> AS FAR AS THE EIR GOES, I THINK IT WAS THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE AND DID A GOOD JOB EXPLAINING THE ALTERNATIVES AND WHAT THE DIFFERENT POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS O THE PROJECT SITE ARE. I THINK CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND BURBANK HOUSING ARE WONDERFUL ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO WONDERFUL WORK AND I HAVE A REALLY HARD TIME BEING ASKED TO REDRAW THE BOUNDARIES AN EXISTING HISTORIC DISTRICT AND UNLESS COUNCIL COMES BACK WITH STRONG GUIDELINES ABOUT, THAT I THINK WE'LL SEE PROJECTS ENCROACHING ON HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME WE'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER A PROJECT LIKE THAT AND THAT FRIGHTENS ME AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT? I THINK THE FACT WAS IT SOME OF THESE HOUSES WERE DEEMED CONTRIBUTORS AND MAYBE THEY WERE LEFT TO FALL DWN AROUND THEMSELVES WITHOUT ANY KIND OF TENDER LOVING CARE OVER THE YEARS AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO FIX THEM. BUT I THINK THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND IT CLEARLY DID AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER TO THAT IS EITHER? SO I'M ON THE FENCE HERE. I THINK THE PROJECT, IF THIS PROJECT WAS JUST ADJACENT TO, BUT NOT IN THE DISTRICT, I WOULD SAY LET'S GO FOR IT. THIS IS GREAT. BUT BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, I'M HAVING A REAL HARD TIME TO RECONCILE THAT. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER CARTER. >> I THINK EVERYBODY HAS ARTICULATED WELL THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE HOUSING AND HOMELESS PROBLEM HERE AND BECAUSE THIS PROJECT DELIVERS RELIEF IN THOSE TWO AREAS SO WELL, I'M GENERALLY INCLINED TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. I THINK THE NUMBER OF APPROVALS NECESSARY FOR THE PROJECT TO GO FORWARD HINTS AT THE GRAVITY OF THE LAND USE DECISION WE'RE MAKING. WE'RE CHANGING A LOT OF CITY POLICY IN ORDER TO ALLOW THIS PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT I THE END, BASED ON THE THOROUGHNESS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, STAFF'S WORK, WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM THE APPLICANTS, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY DO OVERRIDE THE ACKNOWLEDGED LOSS OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES. AND WE SHOULD NOT TAKE THAT LIGHTLY. I KNOW STAFF HAS SAID WE'RE LUCKY IN THAT WE ONLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT LAND USE AND NOT HOW IT'S IMPLEMENTED, BUT I BELIEVE THE MITIGATION MEASURES THAT ADDRESS THE MITIGATION OF THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTED A NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AS THE PROJECTS GO BACK TO THE HR -- WHAT IS IT? >> CHB. >> THE CULTURAL BOARD AND THE DESIGN BOARD. IT NEEDS TO LOOK AT HOW THE PROJECT CAN HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IMPLEMENTING SOME OF OUR DOWNTOWN PLANS, AND IMPLEMENTING THE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE TALKED ABOUT AROUND IT. AND IN ACKNOWLEDGING THE HISTORIC FABRIC THAT EXISTS IN THAT PART OF TOWN AND HOW IT'S BEEN CHANGED. SO I HOPE THE COUNCIL CAN MAKE SOME CONDITIONS THAT FOCUS ON HOW THE PROJECT IS EXECUTED IN A WAY THAT FURTHERS WHAT WE NEED TO HAPPEN IN THIS TOWN. >> YOU FIND THE EIR TO BE ADEQUATE? >> YES, I BELIEVE IT WAS PROPERLY PREPARED AND ADEQUATE. >> OKAY. I ALSO CAN FIND -- RECOMMEND THE CERTIFICATION OF THE EIR. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US TAKE THIS ELEMENTARY AT ALL IN MATERIALS OF AN HISTORIC DISTRICT BEING IMPACTED IN THIS WAY. AS COMMISSIONER PETERSON SAID WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESS EMERGENCY AND THOSE ARE THE TOP-TWO ISSUES IN THE CITY AT THIS POINT. AND GOALS OF THE COUNCIL TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT; THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WILL CERTAINLY ISN'T GOING TO SOLVE EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S A VERY CRITICAL PROJECT AT A CRITICAL TIME. I HAVE HAD TE PRIVILEGE OF BEING UP HERE A LONG TIME AND BEING ABLE TO SEE A PROJECT GO INTO THE ST. ROSE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE THERE WAS REALLY A WIN-WIN THAT COULD WORK. WE PRESERVED THE ZONING. SO I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MORRIS CENTER. THAT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME. IT WAS A MARKET-RATE PROJECT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WAS IN OUR DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN, WHEN WE WERE READING WHAT HAVE THE OBSTACLES BEEN TO DEVELOPMENT? THE OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION DON'T MATCH THE MARKET-RATE RENTS THAT CAN BE GOT. THAT ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE. ND SO HERE COMES A PROJECT THAT WILL PROVIDE DOWNTOWN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND THE FINANCING MECHANISMS ARE SO COMPLEX AND SO TIME-SENSITIVE, THAT IT'S NOT THE KIND OF WORLD WHERE WE CAN AFFORD TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THAT. YOU KNOW, IN AN IDEAL WORLD, THAT WOULD BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM. BUT THE FINDINGS ARE SPECIFIC THAT FOR THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS WE CAN LOOK AT THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC AND TECHNICALPAQUES IMPACTS AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. I DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY THAT WE COULD BE DEMOLISHING THOSE STRUCTURES. I DON'T THINK WE'RE SETTING A PRECEDENT BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH REALLY STRONG FINDINGS AND STRONG STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS BECAUSE WE WOULD BE IMPACTING THE OTHER POLICIES. I THINK THAT HAS BEEN DONE HERE AND I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER POTENTIAL DEVELOPER IS AN HISTORIC DISTRICT IS GOING TO GO OH, OPEN COUNTRY. THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHAT WE ARE DOING IS CAPTURED IN TERMS OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. I THINK BECAUSE OF THE ZONING OVERLAY WE'RE NOT TAKING THE PROJECT OUT OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND STILL THERE AND STILL SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY THE CULTURAL HERTACLE HERITAGE WHY KEEPING HISTORIC OVERLAY. FOR ME IT'S AN PORN PROJECT AT AN EMERGENCY TIME AND I CAN IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROJECT AT AN CRITICAL TIME AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE PROJECT AS STAFF HAS INTRODUCED IT. X I KNOW EACH WILL BE COMPELLING IN IT'S OUTBOUND WAY AND HOW YOU LOSE - TOWN RIC PROPERTIES IN YOUR NIBBLING AWAY AT THE EDGES AND PRETTY MUCH NOTHING LEFT EXCEPT FOR THE DISNEYLAND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. >> I THINK THE CONCERNS THAT I HEARD FROM INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN OTHER HISTORIC DISTRICTS IS THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THIS A PRECEDENT-SETTING THING AND I THINK THE COUNCIL CAN BE TAKING THAT UP. I KNOW I FEEL WITH THE STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS THAT IS GOING TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION THAT HS TO BE FOUND TO DO THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT ANOTHER PROJECT COMING FORWARD ABOUT WITH THE COMPONENTS OF SERVICES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT MAKES A VERY UNIQUE PROJECT AT A UNIQUE TIME BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION.

I80CuYVpt54	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I80CuYVpt54	DIVINE ENCOUNTERS THAT CHANGES OUR LIFE - APOSTLE JOSHUA SEMAN 2022	you the power of god i i don't know but there are people god is raising to become mighty vessels i just saw an anointing rest on you this rule in the name of jesus i don't know where you are but i pray may that grace now let it rest upon you and shift you to a new dimension in the name of jesus christ [Music] welcome to christie centric message on this channel you are going to get soul lifting messages fit based content prayer drills and videos that would help you grow spiritually remember to subscribe to the channel like the video you are about to watch and comment on it stay blessed hallelujah i don't know if this is the best time to share some of my encounters but i remember after my encounter with the lord jesus i started having strange moments where i would stay for hours just locking myself and my bible will be by the side of my bed or wherever and i will wake up to find my bible close to me open to certain specific chapters that was how the holy spirit began to teach me i didn't invent how to study literally sometimes like you know a fork that fog will fill my room and right there is as if you are downloading a software things i did not know like prophecy what meant these things i never had the time to crime scriptures as it were i had a good background but they didn't have that time it was in one of these encounters that something happened to me [Music] as soon as i pick the bible i can quote chapters and chapters and chapters and chapters just like that now you can do that and learn it like you do the quran but there is a genuine way the light that comes from him may that light this night truly from god rest upon someone's spiritual life you see sir one of the things that i've learned especially because of our appetite for knowledge right now there seems to be an unwritten rule especially in ministry the vastness of your spiritual knowledge seems to be the basis of accreditation and respect and honor and that pressure has pushed a lot of men to go online and just download anything anything anything once the information is cast they believe is worthy of reception so that in in the dispensing of the information then you would receive some honor as one who has done a good research while that is wonderful many have doubled into all kinds of metaphysical scientology activities of necromancing and mantra and all kinds of religions you see all kinds of books in their pdf format and our hunger without guidance will drive us to those things we bring them down and find ourselves walking in possibilities that we're not sponsored by the spirit of god egypt was a place of intelligence it was a place of knowledge they were vast in their knowledge so when moses came and performed a sign they already had in their archives a formula to reproduce the same result that's why the bible says i have many things to tell you but he cannot bear them now he says how be it when he the spirit of truth is come he he will guide you into all truth there is a body of information that is healthy for your growth and relevance and it is within the office of the spirit of god to guide you into that body of truth hallelujah praise the lord it is lack of genuine illumination that is responsible for the doctrinal confusion and and the the imbalances that we continue to suffer in the body of christ broadly speaking because there are rules of engagement you do not make doctrines out of a personal experience in as much as i continue to tell you about my personal experiences they are uniquely they they were products of my hunger alongside the dimension that god would want to use me and that is not a universal template for everyone to follow and so the authority of scripture remains lord even over my experiences i cannot bring my experiences and make it a template this is usually how error starts because of the nature of my work with god he can fetch my life and say apostle based on my dealings with you you cannot have more than three cars in your life based on my economy and my dealing with you this is the most healthy state that will help you to be efficient spiritually now if i build a doctrine out of that experience and i call everyone who has four or five or six cars i say you are an arrow based on my gospel usually the ones i mentor will now take that doctrine and it will not only become the era of balaam it will now become the way of balaam and by revelation it will become the doctrine of balaam [Music] it says the spirit speaketh expressly that in the last days some shall depart from the faith giving he to seducing spirits and the doctrines of demons we need genuine spiritual illumination you know that light came from god by what it does to darkness when the light you bring refuses to affect darkness then it was not light the character of light that comes from christ is that it must affect darkness so if i lay hands on you and you become worse than you were when i met you something must be checked now i may not know but it does not mean that it should not be checked there were people who received impartations in meetings and from that day their spiritual lives went down not because of an attack i'm not scaring you i'm opening you up to these things i came this was what the lord put in my heart to shaving at this service [Music] illumination we must trust god for grace having said that i must also balance especially for those that god has has helped to be ministry there are too many options to allow members sit in a place where there is no genuine revelation people are hungry people are looking for truth they are searching for truth that's the reason why you must thank god for platforms like this every man of god much more than inviting members we have assignments to sit down and trust god to see to see to see recycling messages as proof of our limitation when we plateau at a dimension and continue to give excuses um very soon the mtpus will be proof that our people are tired it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the lord's house shall be exalted above all the mountains and over the hills and then all nations shall flow through it they will tell one another come let us go to the house of god to the mount of jacob there he will teach us his ways for out of zion shall proceed the law it's going to be a place of mentorship befell the place of bread the hallowed bread of the spirit that when men sit down and lend us when members lend us their five two hours three hours one hour they must live with an experience darkness gone light nobody lives what works the difficulty in looking for membership is a letter from our darkness and our ignorance to us that we need more light this is an uncomfortable teaching tonight but please don't be dissatisfied is to stretch us and bring us to a point of stability and power and results where territory can know that christ is still lord otherwise we'll continue to fade like a garment and get to a point where darkness will arise and sit upon the throne of governance it says you are the light of the world the definition of darkness is a territory without you without your convictions without your value system hallelujah i consider it wicked for me to gather a people as a man of god and just recycle revelations and not have anything to tell them we owe people growth we owe them growth that comes by light the body of knowledge are located for the victory of the saints illumination let's take one more and then we round for tonight i know you're a man of the secret place because it is a place of genuine spiritual empowerment the secret place is the place of the oil is the place of the wine is the place of grace is the place of power the generation that downplays the power of god is the generation that will lose relevance in god's program means wonders transformation the workings of god and this has nothing to do with being in ministry the place of spiritual empowerment jeremiah chapter one [Music] from verse 5 to 10 this was a conversation between the little jeremiah before i formed in the belly i knew thee and before thou came as fought out of the womb by sanctified thee and ordained everybody say ordained say anointed an ordination is not just a call to ministry is the authorization to be there and the way god authorizes men is by bringing the oil that is responsible for the solution to be provided if the oil is not on you no matter what was done you were not ordained true ordination is the hand of god and the oil from the throne are located for the revelation of a dimension of god committed to you that works all the time not sometimes there are many people who will tell you i was called into the healing ministry and the healing result is one of a hundred something is wrong with that ordination there is no testament i'm called into the worship ministry and you write one song per year there is no ordination there is a desire but there is no ordination i am a teacher of the world and your summons are full of confusions here and there there is no ordination i ordained you to be a prophet to the nations next verse please then he said ah lord behold i cannot speak for me child seven but the lord said say not that i'm a child for thou shalt go to all that i shall send thee and whatsoever i command thee thou shalt speak be not afraid of their faces for i am with thee to deliver thee said the lord then the lord put forth his hand and let me show you how god ordains men he put his hand touched my mouth and he said behold i have put my words if i call you as a prophet you will not say what you want to say i must put something from me upon you that your handled god will come upon a man and turn that man to a sign and wonder [Music] listen if god tells you what he's calling you into go and cry for the oil of that mission lord i'm tired of bringing reproach to your name by proposing dimensions i cannot defend send help from heaven put something upon my life that is a testament of an encounter moses said pharaoh will not believe me ramesses was my half-brother i know the stubbornness of his heart i need an evidence there is no witness without an evidence please let's trust god for grace for real results genuine results genuine results genuine results [Music] oh [Music] please listen to me we're about to pray every assignment god gave you there is an oil for it have you found it this is why we are here tonight there is some prayer we are going to pray tonight and someone will have to take something this night and leave this place with it knowing i came i was glad when they said to me let us go to house on the rock i came there and found the oil of my destiny i've been a prophet for years but tonight i found it the ordination [Music] foreign in the next five minutes i don't know how you are going to pray but cry lord the grace for the secret place number two the anointing the mantle and the ordination tired of looking like others tired of fighting others brand my impact by your grace place something upon my life [Music] you are in ministry cry to the god of heaven god you are a worshiper called into the worship ministry where is the spirit of david that should be upon you oh thou

this seal the lord knoweth them that are his and he says let every man that name the name of christ depart from iniquity then he says but in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver of wood and clay it says that some vessels are unto honor and others onto dishonor then it says if a man will punch himself that man will be a vessel unto honor meet for the master's use you're going

same [Music] i want to pray prayer the grace for genuine signs wonders and miracles many of the things we call signs and wonders we should be ashamed of if we look at it from the light of god's word that the oppressed are genuinely delivered age-long captivities vanish within a service the lifetime of the service is too long for people's captivity to remain [Music] there are people tonight that must drink of that wine the grace to stand in the office of the christ and to minister power and life that when men see you they rejoice because they know their captivity has come to an end to appoint

and very soon there is going to be a strange move of god the way it was before our generation has hardly seen a real move of god at a territorial level but i know by the spirit of god with all the ministries that are working it's not this is not something that one man will birth is going to be a synergy and that does not necessarily mean working together it means god himself distributing dimensions of himself and together like a mighty army something will happen in this land that will cause many to come it's not only tin and columbus that will bring people the nations will flow to this region and say god is doing something here and i pray that the lord will bless every one of you on short notice within 24 hours you made our time to be here i decree and i declare in the name of

can to help them bless check our home page for more of our messages subscribe to the channel comment on it like it see you on our next video bye her the face of development lord grant me the

4M7osQ9sNKA	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M7osQ9sNKA	Single Leg Defense - Cartwheeling over the top when opponent splits the middle	over your head keep your eye out keep your fists on your head and I just want you to do cartwheels on your head your elbow see what kind of athletes we got in here just cartwheel on your head and your elbows back and forth going on here ahead near elbows I do this to my youth program just fine well Cheers don't think we can say cartwheel anymore or not the right say and they'll have the social justice orders and we'll talk to you why we just did that now so there's a lot of split the middle what what I call Iranian position when that guy shoots a single leg and we stuff and cover so again my mentality as the defender is always baseline defense I'm thinking base on defense until that guy makes me scramble all right when my base on defense doesn't work that's when I got to flip the switch to scrambling but the beautiful part of scrambling versus base on defense is I dictate how much I scramble I dictates how much I get to my base on defense so I'm thinking based on defense until it's not an option all right so in this position we're gonna rake with our forearm we're gonna reinforce with our opposite hand and then all I'm doing is swinging and squaring right here like I would normally interesante match now again when I sprawl legs back hips in I'm trying to read my t-shirt I want you to read my t-shirt here for my sweatshirt so this is my sprawl he feels this position all right and he's going to post in split so when he posts in splits watch how he gets his knees up under his body so he can split the middle right so we've all kind of been in this position now couple things that either allow him to do this or go if his butt stays away from his chest he'll never get the power to just flip all right and again if someone started coaches about during the break the way your body is set up the way I think about the body is here's the engine so this is all my power my legs are the wheels and my arm is the steering wheel works just like a car if I don't have one of those things on a car can't go very far no wheels doesn't get anywhere all I can do is steer the power I got the wheels working then I'm in good shape if I got wheels and power and no steering I'm just I'm not going to be very efficient so that's the way I want you to think about it as they attack her if he's been on this single leg and I've got his head covered which is what I'm supposed to do when I sprawl okay he's got to get his wheels working to get the engine and the power straightened out so he's going to post and split so his knees come under his chest there now he's got his knees in a position to where he can split now when I sprawl and I squared I take the arm of the leg he's attacking and I just punch right in between his legs I'm not putting my hand on the mat I'm not grabbing anything I just put my arm straight in between his legs I refer to that as my anchor so I rape the head i stuff notice I'm always using both hands break stuff and I'm stepping and I'm swinging and cover when I get to this position I'm sprawling big hip sprawl legs are back he's attacking my right leg right arm is jammed in between the legs okay right here so I got a sprawl and I got an anchor what my anchor does is help them from splitting and it keeps them out in front so we can't run the corner when he runs the corner we'll talk about that but right now I'm just going to post and split now when he gets ready to split the middle here this low left Iranian position okay I'm gonna keep my keep my anchor as he goes to split and get me upside-down I'm gonna go Houston bot head to Mac heels to my butt head to the mat now in this position I keep my anchor I'm trying to put my knuckles on the mat I arch my back somebody see where his elbow goes when I arch my back goes behind his ear and then I just caught me off and yeah at my anchor right here in the crotch which is going to give me a second or two to attack back into the sky okay you see some guys that are just so good at wrestling upside down because they spend time there they're comfortable there all right we got to spend time wrestling upside down it's going to happen to us you're not gonna go your whole wrestling career and never get split okay so we're gonna rate stuff cover jam this anchor in here this guy is going to be fighting hard for the split the minute he splits head to Matt okay head to the mat is gonna continue to stretch and then a cartwheel off now if I have a right leg attack right arm anchor I'm going to do a right handed cartwheel left leg attack left arm acre left handed cartwheel that's all I want you to think about right now and then we'll start talking about the momentum of his split making art making our position even better questions anybody need to see it again forget it one more time all right so I write stuff cover jam the anchor he split head to the mat you can post your hand but don't flop off okay don't flop off he's going to keep adjusting and I just put myself on a hip which is not athletic again I want to get to athletic positions okay great stuff cover take your set he posts and split right over see how my knees are underneath beat her in the mat on that but now he might turn it face me Russell hey I gotta get my hands on something slide you keep wrestling here a lot of the end of these scramble positions are just gonna be me improving and then wrestling through it like a leg attack all right my head to the mat heels to my butt cartwheel in the direction of the anchor I have go	CMPTV	UC6v6Gz_2Qhiuqwqh83-EkzQ	2019-09-25	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,116	5,496

that these are the dumbest this what I be this what I'm saying you're not trying to not be caught you trying to you want to go to jail this your goal today was let's go to jail two Lads on the steps

pulled up on the somebody was standing and two people was sit got the suspects have Leed it did something in a garage and walked out to face the music Lenny and Paul have challenged the potentially armed robbers to get on the ground it's a tense [Music] moment he thought about it one of the lads who could have a gun lunges towards them yeah man it ain't the time it's not the time the jumpy suspect has got something in his hands I'm sure if it's a weapon Lenny kicks the item away the suspected armed robber refuses to comply now the cops think he's reaching for something in his waistband as he moves to get to his feet Lenny's forced to take him down W cops man it's not many times that I say this situ say this type of stuff but W cops because in America you wouldn't it wouldn't all of that extra stuff he was doing yeah he wouldn't have made it out this scenario but he would not have made it out Paul slaps the cuffs on him by the time the Cavalry rolls in this one we s both Runners are in they show that now it's braver not to shoot somebody as a cop it's braver not to shoot somebody you know what I'm saying cuz you really got to take that chance like man they I don't think I don't really want to let me just be brave and hold on for a second coughs and really see what's going on and Nick unsuspicious of robbery got cannabis on him as well do you want to fur 35 for that

crazy thought process to him and when I say thought process B I mean that's wild it's like you got a big property bag yeah I've got one but one of the teenagers did have something just as deadly we've had a look at CCTV in the garage and somebody in the comments said I have a crazy nah not like sheep like that shows them discarding a knife and that's what sergeants recovered that they've discarded it's she a bog standed kitchen knife however that can kill someone their intentions definitely were quite real when they've gone out today um and I'm glad we've got it off the streets and you know

to pay £200 compensation and the knife was destroyed referral what a referral order was taken against the second [Applause] suspect tracking runaway bad guys isn't easy so some interceptors pack four-legged Firepower relax what this reporting for Duty tonight are dog handler cops and his K9 crime fighter Rambo we never met cops I don't think [Music] right just starting out on our 12-hour night shift tonight um or a bit of oldfashioned policing really get up into the right areas and see what comes of it cops joined the force straight from school and became a grade A Cop his proudest moment was joining the dog unit and teaming up with Rambo a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois so he got no other experience but but police and school whose finest skill is sniffing out suspects ring around the and there's a whiff of action in the air a hot hatch is forecast to blow in from the north one of our units is seen or spooked a couple of cars in Convoy either racing one another uh and they've just done a Vanishing Act got basic details looking for a fiesta we're in the area the fingers crossed there it is yeah just like that coup spots a fiesta that fits the bill ran right into them might as well pull over from Delta one2 it's belgrave road if this is the boy racer then he's not doing much racing now but Coupe still wants a word you get the r down a flash of the [Music] Blues for1 so far so good but the passenger seems Keen to stretch his legs wait where you going please do the dog please the dog please the dog stay there now please the dog stay where you are one's on the run but the car's full decision time cops you might as well stay with the car man cuz you cuz you need to keep track of the person and the dog so if you leave the car going to get away get out of the car do it now get out of the car get out of the car do it now get on the floor now get on the floor do it now do it now get on the floor behind you guys with backup on scene and for secure that just leaves the runner it's Man versus Rambo come on place your bets folks my money's on the dog yeah man I'm giving it up for the dog that dog got him and that's a German Shepherd that ain't one of them little golden retrievers or or poodle dogs that they other the other ones be having we got good bite right now where is he find you where is he find you where where is he get find you where is he where is he find you if hide and seek was an Olympic sport where is he find you Rambo would have more medals than usin bolt he follows his nose to an alley behind back [Music] Gardens he's caught a scent but there's no sign of the runaway he to is's gone on to cing clothes and possibly out into the grass area but Rambo's not giving up yet and clearly wants to earn another [Music] medal he seems struck by this gu Garden perhaps it's the new Garden feature stay there now please of the dog please the dog please the dog get on the floor now do it now get on the floor flat face down on the floor do it now do it now Rambo one Runner n listen to me my friend going to come to I always thought that was amazing these dogs be having 7,000 times more smelling strength than a than a human that's crazy just don't make any sort of movements pal Delta one got the M DET scared yeah all right mate me time you detained I don't know what's happened to that vle all right so you just hello officer just stay inside for me please sir stay inside thank you with Rambo breathing down his neck this land's not likely to chance legging it again you have to look at me but listen very carefully my friend okay other officers going to come hello come down the back Alleyway other officers going to come and detain you I'll get the dog away yeah and's going to your back middle your back good lad middle your back Jim camping's on hand to Cuff the shell shock suspect get the dog away chent all right good good L clever lad that dog was trying to eat something that's tough clever boy good l a these are tight not half as tight as Rambo's grip would have been way if want back at the fiesta cops is checking in with the rest of the crew that this should even around like what was the why' you run get bitten did the dog get you yeah didn't bite him y dud I need to know when it's going to be on TV I'll say though I can't say if it's going to be on TV or not but the driver's facial reactions when the dog was here it may make him famous like a magic wardrobe this little Fiesta up three door three other lightly Suspects on the back seat uh and Driver over there and the Full House when he comes back and for the magic wardrobes next trick Tada Class B Spencer's discovered a bit of cannabis squirreled away in the glove box the lad that's been TR by the uh the dog officer and Court he's admitted to it being his his his his cannabis just for personal use um he's just going to be dealt with at a low level for can warning for that matter um and obviously they've been advised about legging it from us for the sake of a I don't know a teners worth of cannabis he's nearly had his arm bitten and for lados he's he's not known as a bad lad yeah yeah you definitely shouldn't around just dealt with the consequen is right there they probably would have let you go right at the roads side and I think he's been compliant with the other officers here it was a very silly move as the runner's never been in trouble before he's given a cannabis warning which means he won't get a criminal record this time but he could face a caution if he's caught with cannabis again ng6 game ng6 G his mates are in the clear and free to go ng6 yeah man n behave yourselves all right police don't even take y'all serious that's CRA there a dog got a spit decision to decide if we got enough here this a stolen car there the weapons inside drugs um and I just didn't feel it was right at that moment in time to basically send the dog and getting bitten turns out for me that's the right decision these aren't career criminals in this car they're nice Lads they might be bordering either way which way to follow the line the police card are outstanding citizen you guys are good guys you got character you're probably in school getting straight age prepar preparing for your gsc's or or or or you maybe even you know thinking about University you know what I'm saying just chill out um that passenger hopefully won't do that again runaway drivers are often prepared to break every rule of the road it is failing to stop speed is 70 May he's going wrong side a dead end oh I remember this episode St surely I remember that up against the Interceptor Elite tactics box on box on stop stop stop Zulu 2 and we're just trying to set up a sting teamwork Junction through the junction I try and give you heads up and timing some suspects can be left bro that is insane that they really throwing Spike strip down on a bike feeling a little deflated calm down calm down your bik why why though proper PL both what's the offense they'd have to pay for my new tire if I didn't do nothing you put a stinger out and I ran over it on my bike you got to pay me I believeing n come on man half an hour ago across the border in Lincolnshire cops tried to stop a car with markers for failing to stop for the police 28 we're going to try and get up to um lwell Hill the driver took off and now he's crossed onto the Interceptor patch where Advanced Driver Bruce and teammate chalky are racing to intercept Mansfield not get that location we're just coming up southw road now we're just coming up southw road now uh it might be a bit tight yeah but it's a vehicle that's failed to stop the link show officers mobiles managed to get behind it as it's com to knots but a not pursuit or teac train so they've not attempted to make any stop of the vehicle a preemptive stop has been authorized in other words box in the bad guy before he makes another run for it from 22 and we're coming up towards Rena round about shortly a second unit has its eyes on the target car it's down to Bruce sh and a I feel like Pursuit trained I feel like you that should be a part of graduating training like everybody should get that off bat like thinger to take out it TIR it's such a possibility in the UK for Miles you chalky's chalked up 26 years in uniform and the seasoned Interceptor is a dab hand with the old spikes the timing is everything they need to be ahead of the suspect motor just a location we're just approaching lock roll hill we are approaching the L's Cafe the car's coming this way they need a safe spot out of sight we're going to go down towards the here on the bend in the dark around here let's go up here just passing the road or the crossroads to our side deviation dark as what is it we're setting a stinger sight up just off lock Hill roundabout a614 the Stinger is a strip of metal spikes which are thrown across the road to puncture a car's tires yeah we set up just give it a shout when it comes off about 200 me all right now bro imagine bro getting a fresh pair of tires and they sting you and you you're you're innocent you didn't do anything like I oh my God I'd be in court you got to like I need payment he's approaching a three exit roundabout 50 m they bet on exit to we're on the already now not one not one which will he [Music] take from 22 we just joined the bottom of uh the 61 oh my God another recap roundout Stinger yeah we set up just give us a shot when it comes off it the target's incoming stand by 50 m but will the driver take the exit with a sting we're on the ra now not one but one we are indicating and we taking second a614 towards guess he comes stay sharp [Music] chalky got vehicle stung vehicle stung go ahead slow it down buddy [Music] go that's the way to do it it's stop stop stop no contact both front tires are busted and so is the driver turn and faces t for us you want to take it down to the Chinese yeah limp it down yeah just keep it 20 with traffic building the interceptors clear the road and just about managed to park bro then you drive on my flat tires possibly ruining the rim nearby to search the car it was a sharp Tak down and choke choke and then why did you even use this thinger in the first place because there was non there was n Pursuit officers Pursuit trained officers so how's that my tire's fault with his handy work it's worked ideal I've managed to get both front tires on a on a front wheeel drive so it's it's perfect the idea of the spikes is I want them to Blue Light them they wasn't chasing them they was just behind them they embed into the tires um and then they allow for the oh oh they they were were they giving Pursuit cuz they said they were non-p Pursuit trained so they wasn't chasing them of the tires so it brings the vehicle down to a slow stop he's literally come to a halt within 50 m of where I've stung it oh so they did actually try to stop them okay all right then true do what you got to do a search of the car doesn't turn up anything illegal and checks on the driver are clear too so the fail to stop is a bit of you fail to stop okay it was Interceptor Richard who picked up the car when it came into the county I think the driver was a little bit confusing with what what happening and has not stopped when the uh police have eliminated the BL lights and sirens resed in this incident in nire if those blue lights sir start eliminated and the vehicles are there behind you you need to you need to consider stopping for them the driver said he didn't realize that officers in Lincolnshire wanted him to stop no further action was taken by Lincolnshire police that worked oh I didn't know they wanted me to stop I didn't know with them sirens and and and and and heavy Pursuit was whenever they roll out interceptors know to expect the unexpected very often it's just small thing you'll have a car with a light out or might look like it's going a little bit quickly you'll pull it over with with no more intention really than just seeing what the driver is about having a word with them about the condition of their car uh and then things will just develop the the driver will start behaving strangely you'll find things in the car you really never know where it's going to go this is a random question okay y'all got dealerships out there obviously car dealerships have y'all ever peeped the women that work in the car dealerships are they all like abnormally goodlooking and Miami all the women that work in the car shop all the women that work in the car like I don't know what jobs they do in there I'm not sure if they sell the cars if they I don't know but same with Chicago they all look like eight or better I'm like dang is that the same casing that you I'm just curious I don't know why I asked it during this video but it's like just crossed my mind a little bit things I heard high heels that's what it's allom it's a Bary summer evening in the city and Dan and Jim are making

miss so one two three four five good bags of nice dried cannabis ready to go that one's got a hole in it so we'll be careful with that and three boys and it's going to be very difficult for us to to say who was in possession of it but because all three boys are in the car I think there's a quantity of cash some phones that we describe as burner phones as well that people dealing drugs will often use and they can discard quite readily so protect them to the bro well and all be interviewed and see if you can explain what they're going to do oh they outside group trapping this one is raining too yeah I think we're in a b a thunderstorm on the weather front or the drugs front I don't think it's fair to say that's personal use it's raining cats and drugs dropping it whoa whoa whoa dropping it

got jel in my eyes and Dan and Jim pour over every inch of the scoda one there's another phone here so I'll B not a burner the often they'll stop and just try the look try and be quite koi and talk the way out of it as soon as we W to the car you could smell it and it's as you can see there's packages all over quite substantial amount of cannabis so um yeah it's uh not the best time to try the look right mate yeah park it up lesli road yeah oh they going to go to their houses I'll do that mate on there with the suspect scod sorted the interceptors head down to custody yo what time for the Heavens to open oh my God absolutely to the Bone the three lines are drying off at hotel Bridewell that boy mixing M cleair with Calvin Klein he really out here steeping ain't heany it match I guess

possession of cannabis the driver all right guys don't get corny now you did good you got your little arest now you're talking about we all weather interceptors it actually kind of sound hard when I'm

one passenger awaits his stay in court while the other received no further action oh okay back out on duty for the 7 till 7 shift is Jim and his partner for the night Ben covering all 834 square miles of Nottinghamshire they've always got their eyes peeled is hello this there how long I do that for and you answer with every M I was going to do until I stop I was going to do it see which one was give up first as Darkness Falls is there any units that can assist with they robber in very aggressive group of individuals there's a report of a group of teenagers on the Rampage in the market town of Arnold oh theyed the security this might be negativity stolen I believe there the pre that they had KN a couple of weeks ago who's the main offender in the description please the description is I see one male black scar around his face gray joggers black I see one male as they reach the last known location the boys spot a group of lads at the End of the Street they've just been stopped by another unit Jim jumps out to investigate you footballer why are we stopping you then how old are you 15 15 whilst Jim chats to a teenage footballer what you doing knocking around here then commit yourself to it mate Aladdin gray track is Tri his look as a sprinter I would think we finally found somebody worse than Lisa she had the opportunity to H hard and she said gr track tries his look as a no thank you she said I'm too cute for this she's wigging out right now she just she just basically got fired we just watched you in 4k I'm reporting you for not working hard eagley Ben doesn't miss a trick and Boots it spotting the runner jumping a garden F that's funny Ben rallies the team yeah I'll try and get myself onto that Ben on road Calvin Klein is not designers cut it out we're not doing that we're not we're not doing that Calvin nobody even I can only speak for Amer because America because I'm in America nobody wears Calvin Klein anymore unless it's like at a Runway Fashion so maybe they draws or something like I ain't never seen somebody like in a Calvin car fit like dang you hey he put that on oh she put that maybe a female is be wearing it but I I just suspect is in here with reports a security guard has been assaulted the interceptors can't take any chances where would you want but they've got a block of houses surrounded in one of the gardens you see a vehicle Ben notices a security light flashing on the other side of the [Music] fence it's over buddy get here you get here now do the move do the move where are you Benny boy stop resisting give me your hands give me your hands now stop talking give me your hands Ben you trying to arrest him from over the fence follow the runner where you all right who is hiding behind the garage roll over it all right going to get you up yeah up you one all right bro is a child he will be out tonight he a second Jim doesn't find any stolen items and the suspect isn't armed but they do make a discovery in his bag some lollipops that got cannabis leaf on them one two three four four deal bags scales oh M and then [Music] then yeah what in Deal bags is that what you're selling parac all also in the suspected robber's bag all these homework he's only just my boy traing his way through through what's the grade is he probably in scho it's very typical of the young boys in this area at the minute they get mixed up with the wrong crowd obviously there's a little bit of pressure from the elders in their groups uh and they get forced to do things and I think that's what's taking place tonight everything on him is basically pointing the finger that he's doing some drug dealing in the area so unfortunately we've got a 16y old boy who's locked up for drug dealing at the minute it's a sad State of Affairs for me due to the lack of evidence no charges were brought in relation to dealing and no further action was taken in regards to the assault told you yeah he's definitely wasn't going to be in there they going to look the other way if there's not enough they not even going to force [Music] it still to [Music] come driving without without insurance is against the law but across the UK police officers catch over one without insurance is against the law but across the UK police officers catch over 100,000 uninsured drivers a year we be taking their risk it is hard to get away with it but you'll always have your chances just they can't necessarily afford it or there just as have people that don't think they have to pay for it we do get the odd people who due to bad admin they'll have forgot to Ure their cars and they'll never do it again and they learn a lesson driving with no insurance well stress for every police call I remember it used to be easy to drive with no insurance or easy to like not get caught now it's like they going to call the insurance company up right then and there to make sure they go they got ways to figure out lying whoa you know to do the old or if you falsified got this don't look now yeah in Nottingham it's not held mate on a perso 207 in Gray Lee and D are on the hunt for a suspected uninsured car traveling through the city uh it's westbound how on the map that's so it's going to be up here this this is Queen Road isn't it yeah it's all systems go hopefully it'll be in this lot here lights sirens and two sets of eagle eyes can't see nothing there you go I thought the police would have had better windshield wipers than this that's the one Dom signals to pull over but the uninsured driver isn't taking any notice he's not going to stop me you think Dell boy either playing it cool D booy Fox drop 31 I'm still not only convinced or he's completely oblivious Dom ramps up the light show yeah behind a vehicle uh Queen's Drive um not sure if it's failing to stop or not M it isn't it it's not stopping the interceptors are in Hot Pursuit uh it's 25 mph well maybe lukewarm ain't even lukewarm my boy what we call this this is like cold Pursuit ain't [Music] even but still the Pug driver poodles on single occupant approaching red ATS at Crossgate Drive Junction they're already hard to miss but honest what happened to Lisa she got one little segment today Lisa is the most comical part of this show love it D makes them harder still I wonder if Lisa got a IG we should like try to locate Lisa's IG heate switch off switch your engine off now yeah you not see us behind you yeah but I so why have you not pulled over while we're continually behind you put your handbrake on you're rolling back sorry because I thought there's plenty of space for you to overtake we're not tried to overtake we're pulling you over all right sorry yeah hey bro is high he talking about there plenty of play St that overtake no they're directly behind you pull over I didn't if we I didn't see an indicator going sorry we sat behind you if we wanted to get by we' have gone by we're actually pulling you over so you pull over and stop the reason we're stopping you is because car shown as no insurance all right so have you got any insurance for the vehicle I should have you should have I mean the only thing I can think is it's just not been renewed Mr oblivious claims he pays for his insurance monthly right are you able to check that just need something to say that it is you know that you're paying for your insurance I'd pay it right there on the spot buddy um because ultimately if you can't prove it then the car will be seized You' be reported to driving no insurance like I said it's if probably an oversight online okay I'll I'll put your hand up yeah it was it's a gen mistake okay um it's not something intend just like not pulling over was a genuine mistake no no no absolutely I'm not I'm not saying that it is uh the problem we know with with an insurance offense is what we call an absolute offense so you either have it or you don't and if you're driving a vehicle on a road without it then you commit the offense do you think it probably hasn't renewed then you think that's probably the case it's not can you jump out for me can just get out the road if that's right this could be an expensive oversight driving without insurance could cost him a 300 fine six points on his license or even prosecution at cour man speaking about like oh my God I turn off off of this video let me just try and track it then and see when it's dropped off right so your insurance R 28th of August 2019 to the 3rd of August 2020 and then it's not renewed for some reason oh right um I didn't realize that it's a bit strange if you're on an auto renew though the driver's insurance policy expired two months ago I'm just wondering whether if it auto renewed it didn't reset the monthly uh payments and it's tried to take the whole amount uh and there wasn't I don't know if you've had insufficient funds or anything uh hey whatever he's saying sir agree with it so you might be able to get out of this there wouldn't be enough in there the whole year if it came out for the whole year no that's all I can think it might be all right um we're going to have to issue some paperwork um and obviously we can't allow the car to continue its Journey I'm afraid um get insurance right now okay I mean I can phone them and see if yeah I mean by all means give them a ring see if you can and if it is I cannot you know if it turns out it's an admin era then we can rip the paperwork up and go if you want to jump in and give him a call absolutely no problem all right oh mate this is a Hey low key for them to have gone on a little slow speed chase and have to pull him over in that manner the officer is still pretty chill bit of a strange one well it's not a strange one he's got he's got proof in his bank that it's going out but not now it should be an auto renew but he said nothing's gone out oh God I'll call him and be like yeah hey hey take this payment right now for one month let me get up out of here since powers to stop and seize uninsured Vehicles were introduced UK police forces have taken over 2 million uninsured Motors off the road try hards Lee might be adding to that tally any Joy no they're only open 8 till 8 we have to report you for no insurance okay uh I understand I just have to tell you the official B say you you will be reported the consideration of the question of Prosecuting you for the relevant offense shown on here which is driving a motor vehic with no insurance all right you do have to S bro you could have went online and just grabbed any insurance May def the perso will be seized leaving the uninsured driver with a wet walk home take this now take it to our compound they'll collect it from there okay cheers thanks for driving without a pay it dang what happened and the interceptors are back next Monday uh no no no updates or anything of that nature to leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification Bells let's let's let's continue our campaign Lisa and

host arised from metabolism of cities in this podcast we interview thinkers researchers activists policymakers and practitioners to better understand the metabolism of our cities and how to reduce their environmental impact in a socially just and context-specific way today's episode is special today we celebrate the 30th episode of the circular metabolism podcast and for that i'm wearing my favorite shirt and over these 29 episodes i spoke and learned with so well i learned from very intelligent people much more than i am and how to move forward from our current mess i talked about urban ecology urban metabolism circular economy social ecology d growth post growth and today we're going to talk about another fascinating topic that might become our compass for the numerous challenges that cities face but today is also special because i get to talk with the fantastic kate caterers although we've never talked before i know already we have some things in common and one of them is our love for donuts as it was my favorite treat when i was a kid and i grew up in greece so the other ones you're going to discover later on in the episode to talk about donuts i have the author of the international bestseller book donut economics seven ways to think like a 21st century economist which has been translated into more than 20 languages uh kate is an economist and and over the past 25 years has worked for with oxfam undp the ministry of trade and industry of zanzibar and she currently teaches at the oxford university and the amsterdam university of applied sciences kate is also the co-founder of the donut economics action lab an online collaborative laboratory that brings together tools and stories about how to transform this radical idea into transformative action with all that being said thanks a lot kate for being part of this uh podcast my pleasure and happy very happy to join you on the 30th edition uh for the people that perhaps do not know you live under a rock could you perhaps give a short introduction of who you are and what you did sure so um gosh i studied economics at university it turned out to be not what i needed i walked away there was climate breakdown financial meltdown an economist started saying oh we need to rewrite economics to reflect financial realities and i thought really are we only going to rewrite economics for that and i came back towards economics and wanted to be part of the movement of people who are flipping it on its head and starting economics with the values that we hold dear how about the rights of all people how about the integrity of this one living planet so i drew a picture that looked like a doughnut see the only difference between us is you actually ate them i don't eat them the only donut that's any good for us is is the one it's conceptual um yeah and i and i published it as a book that you just shared and i have to say it's had so much more traction in the world than i could have ever possibly imagined which tells me people are hungry for change and are looking for transformation so i believe these are the times yeah yeah and well it's i can imagine very uh well weird or difficult to to to live amongst this uh you know traction i mean as you say people are hungry and you you said it from the get-go this is an image uh and more than just words we need images and we don't need to be against something we need to be drawn into something else so you have plenty of uh circles or donuts behind you as well what is so attractive about this image i even have one right here the benefits of lockdown right you have everything on a stick um so so the doughnut is like a compass for human prosperity in the 21st century it's one way of envisioning the future of the world we want so if you imagine humanity's use of earth resources since we're here talking about metabolism the use of earth's resources radiating out from the center it means the hole in the middle is a place where people are left falling short on the essentials of life it's where people don't have the resources they need for health and education food and housing income transport connectivity political voice and equality leave nobody in the hole fine but as we bring everybody out of the hole there's also an outer limit here don't go over this ecological ceiling because that is the way we collectively start to put so much pressure on this planet's life supporting systems that we begin to kick our planetary home out of balance that's where we cause climate breakdown and we acidify the oceans we create a hole in the ozone layer we cause critical loss of biodiversity and breakdown the web of life so in the simplest of terms the goal of the doughnut is to meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet and the first thing it does actually is transform the shape in our minds of what we think progress looks like because the 20th century told us in every economic textbook and every political speech and the pages of the newspapers here we are this was the shape of progress you have all your props ready for my choice hey if you're going to be locked down in your office or for a year you might as well have some toys so there's never-ending growth it goes to the ceiling off the screen up through the ceiling nobody asks what happens when we hit the ceiling and go through this was the shape of progress and we need to transform that and that's what the goal the the donut is part of it as you just said you know it's one thing to protest and critique what's wrong what's wrong with the old what's wrong with you to be fine but we're never going to transform the world by critiquing things as buckminster fuller said you never change things by fighting the existing reality to change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete so i think of the diagrams that i was taught in my economic textbooks i think of them like intellectual graffiti very hard to scrub out so stop scrubbing let's paint them over with an amazing mural of something actually better and that's the power of pictures they give us a new world view and that's what the donut aims to do and i think when i first drew the donut diagram back in 2012 it was published in the run-up to the rio plus 20 conference on sustainable development and so many people said to me you know i've always thought of sustainable development like this i've just i just never seen the picture and i could see that it was empowering to people to have a picture in the hand to have something to point to to feel that they could visualize this vision of the world they wanted to create and that's what drove me to to leave my job at oxfam and write the book as the most effective act of advocacy i could do at the time yeah and especially i think uh so you mentioned i think i don't know if it was in rio or in another summit where a lot of people had this balance um conception of life uh like pachamama and all of that but then some other people said well this this is wishy-washy we need like evidence-based models and you kind of reconciled with two words the the the spiritual word and the uh analytical words um and i think well was it two three years ago that the planetary boundaries concept was or was it in 2008 i don't remember it so it came out really recently just before that right so really recently as like so i have some dinosaurs behind me right so we've got long time in the room so yes humanity's beginning to understand the dynamics of this incredible delicately balanced living planet on which we depend is really recent the planetary boundaries work was published first in 2009. only a decade like these guys over here will tell you that's tiny nothing it's only a decade the humanities began saying oh what what might be the life supporting systems of this planet i mean if you you think that humanity for over a thousand years has investigated the dynamics of the living body and understood that our bodies have complex systems the respiratory system digestive system muscular system nervous system and that our health depends on staying within balance have enough food but not too much have enough temperature but not too much enough oxygen but not too much enough exercise but not too much life thrives in balance and if we can take what we know from our bodily health and take that now to planetary health which is a science only a decade old in that sense we're just at the beginning of this journey so yes it was actually the run-up to the rio plus 20 conference that somebody said to me go and present your diagram to all the embassies of the negotiating countries at rio which was a very strange experience i went to new york and and had meetings at all these embassies and what did i have to show them a picture of a doughnut and i went in there thinking i think i'm crazy and i remember the argentine uh the argentina was the head of the g77 at the time and the argentine representative who i showed it to she was this very powerful negotiator and i remember thinking what is she going to think she said i have always thought of sustainable development like this she said go and show this to the europeans i want to know what they think and the next day i had a meeting with the the european group of people from lots of different countries and i was in there and they pulled down their whiteboard right what have you got to show us projected on the wall uh it's a donut and one of the people there actually an english guy i remember he he said oh he says yeah you know the the the latin americans they talk about this pachamama he did this he went this bunch of mama like with fluffy fluffy but he said but but but i see that this is a kind of western way of saying the same thing and that was actually a really powerful point he made i hadn't realized that this shape of two circles was connected to a world view of pachumama or yin yang or the buddhist knot or the celtic double spiral i mean there are indigenous symbols from all over the world that echo this shape of dynamic balance i hadn't realized that but he made a very profound point that if we connect through shape sometimes words and labels and jargon and terminology totally gets in the way but as shape goes deeper somehow into our conscious and and we think yeah that's that's balance that's health so yes it's fascinating how we can use the power of shape to bridge and otherwise divide yeah yeah for sure i mean i think it it really helps to explain as well i mean uh when we talk about urban metabolism it's a metaphor circular economy it's a metaphor things are i mean i i think they also draw it interdisciplinarity because they're easily understood like a metaphor is kind of a collaboration lubricant if you will of different disciplines that kind of see the same thing but in a different way so they have their own uh knowledge their own apriori if you will and they say okay yeah i can understand this from and out of nowhere you have collaboration like the argentinian and the english person could collaborate out of nowhere because never before they would say oh yeah let's work on balance right um so yes and let me just pick you up on that so as you say you use a metaphor in your work and it's a beautiful example that in fact we live by metaphors hang on where is it this is one of my favorite books uh-huh yeah yeah yeah we're writing an article on metaphors right now it's funny yeah there we go so metaphors are profound in language because the world is really complex and we're not actually often trained and taught to see the complexity of earth's dynamic systems and society's dynamic systems and so to help us understand them we use metaphors well it's a bit like this think of it like that right and we use that throughout human language and that's what this book does and you know one of one of the most powerful metaphors is the idea that forwards and up is good yeah why are you looking so down did you have a setback cheer up things may be moving forward right to forward and up is good no wonder we love economic growth so easily forward enough is good right but the metaphor that you use i think is a brilliant one metabolism because it's it's bringing us back to this question of bodily health my bodily health depends upon me having a healthy metabolism and recognizing that i'm a i'm an open system i have inputs and outputs and a through flow that supports my well-being now you're precisely taking from what we understand at the level of bodily health and you're now using that metaphor to understand urban health and people can oh i get that it's like an organism it has a through flow and we need to think about the quality of that food and where it's going so it's a really lovely way again of using our intuitive almost understanding of our bodily health and taking that to another level but it's funny because so i i'm wondering what you think about this so in urban metabolism we have many streams of understanding or schools of thought like we have the people that are part of the urban ecology stream other parts of the political ecology others are called more from the industrial ecology so you know whatever that is but there are different intellectual families within it and they don't so they create boundaries uh sorry islands of knowledge uh and you know they're not very collaborative sometimes and with circular economy i feel it's a bit the same so there is now like a family of circular economy that's extremely pro-growth there is another one that's extremely technical and let's figure out the waste regulations there's another one let's start by closing the tap first and then we'll figure out how to you know bring the water back to the sink let's say but in doughnut economics there's no such it i don't know it seems so clear that there's no division or perhaps it's is it too young to to have divisions or uh many times it's because there's a lack of a of a definition a good definition that everybody agrees on yet for the donut i think that everybody agrees on where it's very clear you said what it is uh and i don't think we can argue with the definition right well the definition of the doughnut i mean this is the gold i mean you can argue about what is good food how much is enough you can argue about where these spanish foundries are and that's an ongoing conversation i think but it claims that's that's what we're aiming to do and then there are there are principles and dynamics for getting there we need to go from degenerative design to regenerative and the circular economy will be a part of that we need to go from divisive economies to distributive economies that are far more equitable i think i'm going to be i'm going to be honest i think donald economics may still be too young for those divisions to open up one of the areas you just said some people in in circle economy are really pro-growth and i think yeah i think there's a real risk that some of the most powerful ideas get captured by a very mainstream and familiar business mindset that still is in service to growth and assumes that growth can and should and will be endless and that the purpose of business is to reap financial return and then there's a whole other field of people saying well no the business is a really great vehicle and and means by which to transform our economies and maybe business yeah of course business needs to make a profit otherwise it can't open the doors next week and next month the next year but it's not here to make profit the profit is a condition in order to serve the purpose and what we're trying to do is transform our economy and create a circle of economy i meet people on both sides of that divide and both of them might be doing say i'm doing circle economy i'm using circle economy because it's great for our profit margins we're saving so much and we've entered new markets and someone else saying we're doing circular economy because this is how to transform the economy and that's what we're in service of we're using business as a vehicle totally different designs and i think people coming with a very different goal now they could try and do that around donald economics but we've actually been very very careful with the donut because we think the greatest risk to it is indeed greenwash and so we have right now we have a pretty strict condition around business we say businesses you are welcome to use the donut if you go to our platform donors economics.org there is a tool there called when business meets the donut it is a tool that you could use as a workshop in your company it's a tool for internal reflection and there's a lot of it that needs to be done in lots of companies what you can't do is stick it on your website stick it in your marketing go and talk about it publicly because this is not about running around saying we're doing the donut it's far that's just about branding if you want to use it use it internally in the future we're going to be in fact we're hiring right now to bring somebody into our team to be our business lead and in the future we're going to open that box and start working with different kinds of enterprises and and i'm really happy to talk more deeply about the different kinds of enterprises but it's really important for these ideas be it circle economy orbit donut economics not to get captured by mainstream business that wants to extend its life and will grab the latest toy gadget cool idea and just swallow it up for breakfast spit it out talk about metabolism the metabolism of using operate ideas and move on to the next one and destroy them in the process so we say when a disruptive idea meets business as usual i when the donut meets mainstream business something's going to get transformed and our job is to make sure it's not so we set a very high bar for engaging with companies yeah i i was that's also like where when i was seeing all of the the use and the adoption of donald economics by governments uh by cities uh and now with all of this i i'm so uh afraid that this is gonna happen this green washing is gonna happen and all this and but of course well at least you have your hands dirty you you're there you're doing the thing you're defending the concept because there is a person behind it in many other concepts as well you know it gets thrown around and [Music] re-reappropriated by different people and and it's no one's well of course you don't i think you you want you did this for the word and not for yourself uh this concept uh and so i i also imagine that you're very happy that people appropriate this concept but i can imagine how you know difficult it must be that you you see other people holding your or you know torturing your own baby sometimes that you're like yeah but that's not what i thought at the beginning so it's a really interesting challenge and dance that we're making we launched donut economics action lab because when my book came out of 2017 i'll give a talk and then afterwards there'd always be a little cluster of people who say yeah but i'm actually doing this i'm teaching this in my classroom i'm discussing this in the board in my company i'm taking this to the town hall i'm bringing this to the mayor we're doing this in our community so people wanted to do it and it made it clear to me that okay this is asking for an organization this is asking to bring these change makers together so they can connect learn from each other and be inspired by each other and so i found a co-founder color to sans and we set up donald economics action lab it's an online platform anybody can join any individual can join and become a member there are tools we put them all in the commons so anybody can use these tools so they can't appropriate them i hope but they can use them and adapt them and apply them and we ask that in return for us sharing these ideas openly we ask for the human quality of reciprocity that you share back if you make an innovation with them you share it back if you have an experience using them you share it back as a story so that's the openness now we have to balance that with integrity that you can't just take it and do anything with it you can't take out the social foundation and put business needs and interests in the middle you can't use it to we we actually say you can't use it to declare a new kind of capitalism because actually we think that's lazy and we need to really deeply ask ourselves what are the structures that underlie what we call capitalism because those should be up for changing too so we want to use it to deeply challenge and question our economies so we're constantly balancing openness with integrity and that business policy i just told you about is that is the tightest line of integrity that we've got but yes cities and places are using it sometimes calling us up and saying we'd like to work with you sometimes we found out on twitter that they've adopted the donuts as their city goal so it's like okay how are you going to be doing this and we're in a dance of at the moment working with that principle of high trust trusting that people and these are often city councillors or deputy mayors are they're putting themselves out there adopting this concept uh they're pushing the ambition of their place and we trust their intention now they may then be working in a context that wants to rub the corners off it that wants to soften it and we will work with them in that context and say what does it mean to hold yourself to the standard of the donut what are your indicators and are you going to show year on year that you're coming into the donor for example i know the city of amsterdam which adopted the donut in april 2020 in the height of the coveted crisis i know that in the autumn of this year they're going to hold themselves to account on it and talk about the state of the donut in the city of amsterdam how are we doing what are we doing where are we moving forwards whether we not made progress how we doing this and what more must we do so they're using it as a tool to hold themselves accountable at donald economics action lab we are engaging listening watching and learning and trying to figure out exactly how to allow an idea to spread at the speed and scale that this decade and these times require without it getting totally co-opted and therefore degraded and therefore devalued for everybody in the process and this is hard and it's it's fascinating as well yeah no joke uh so it's funny because in the donut you have different facets so you have the planetary boundaries up above and you you can choose which ones you want for the social foundation um so they were very linked if i understand with the sdgs as well so in a way the donut as well is a monitoring system as such right by its birth by its representation it's a monitoring system it's an indicator system um so that is already fantastic because we know are you within or out of the donut right so that is already fantastic and then i think your colleague andrew and dan o'neil and julia also did this for the for all the countries in the world and they saw that no country is actually within the donut if i remember well and i think the closest one was vietnam or costa rica i don't remember um so i'm i'm wondering and you know i i read the book and at the end i was okay this is a vision this is a monitoring tool but what are the actions where you know how do we get inside of it so there are the seven ways of course but you know give me a simple action or you know and then i thought ah okay that's why they did the deal the the donut economics action lab it's called action lab so i thought okay that's right uh so i said okay that's the logical uh continuation of the book right we have an idea we have an action lab and the actions are proposed by people and we share the experience but can you foresee for instance uh by working with a territory with a business or whomever to to develop like a donut action plan uh how would that would look like or how would you go about this because it's not just putting all of these one next to the other it's the complex interlinkages like you reduce your in unemployment but it might degrade you know the water threshold or i don't know what's you know it's so complex how how do you navigate through this crazy complexity so of course no one knows no right then they don't and then often when i show the don't i say hey by the way this isn't an answer it doesn't tell you the answers there's no equation there's no magic solution that pops out at the end it's intended as it's intended as a holistic thinking space that enables you to see everything that you need to take into account at the same time and it's complex and it might seem overwhelming but you know what these issues don't go away if we just ignore them they're still there they're just bubbling away in the background so yeah so the the doughnut could be a monitoring tool itself if a city sets or city or a place sets the what are the levels on the social foundation where do we need to be on the planetary boundaries and year one year one year are we coming closer or not but and and rather than jumping from that to okay what are the policies to me it's crucial to focus on the dynamics what are the big principles that we want to put in prayer and i and i wrote donut economics as a set of ways to think and principles very intentionally because i think i'm writing this in 2015 i'm i'm hoping it's relevant all over the world so a policy that might make sense in new york is not the same as a policy that makes sense in new delhi so i'm not going to write a set of policies and also i want this to be relevant over time and and the world and technologies and regulations and events will change so i wanted to keep it at the level of principles so two of the big principles that i just named right one we've inherited linear degenerative economies we take our materials here's your metabolism we take those materials put them into the pipe and production make things we want use it for a while often only once a plastic cup and then we throw it away and that's the linear degenerative economy that we've inherited thank you very much great grandparents for inventing it it made great wealth for many people but now the earth is too small and the economy is too big and we realize this is running down the life support systems of planet earth so we need to turn this from a linear degenerative economy to a circular cyclical regenerative one where we use earth's resources far more carefully more collectively more creatively and more slowly we can call that a circular economy or a regenerative one and i'm not i don't want to get caught up in terminology and i know some of these different schools of thought can get very caught up in it i think we can lose people that way you know we can lose the wider public it's just too technical so look a little piece of host but we need to use things again and again waste from one process becomes food for the next a million ways in which we can invent that but we need metrics to know how would we know if our economy was becoming more circular or not and actually the city of amsterdam having put the donut at the heart of their circularity strategy are now creating new metrics so that we measure this stuff instead of obsessively measuring gdp all the time we measure this are we becoming more circular but there's a second dynamic that really matters favorite toy coming here we have inherited economies that are divisive by design that that that channel and capture opportunity and value in the hands of a few and we call it the rise of the one percent globally the number of billionaires has doubled over the last decade from one billion to two billion we know in many nations through inheritance through regulation through law and privilege opportunity and value are concentrated in the hands of a few and there's no way humanity can get into the donut if we have economies like this we need to transform them so that these become so that these become distributive economies so that value and opportunity is shared far more equitably with everybody who creates it and that turns out to be everybody so from degenerative to regenerative from divisive to distributed what about a project that says let's create the metrics to measure that how would we know if our economy was becoming more regenerative how would we know if our economy was becoming more distributed fantastic 21st century project of the new metrics that we need and yes we set up donut economics action lab to say let's find out where this action is happening and how it's being put into practice so i'll give you one example one of my favorite um clear action that i think from a government uh and the netherlands has said we're going to be 100 circular by 2050 50 circle by 2030. i think that's real leadership by nation and by the way why has not every single european union country done this i mean how can that how and all the rich countries in the world the north america and canada and and australia and new zealand how can these nations which are richer than nations have ever been before how can we not commit to becoming circular economies why is this been left lagging behind the carbon commitments it's it should be illegal to have not already committed that you of course your economy has become circular so amsterdam has totally taken on this legislation taken on this regulation and they're saying from 2023 all built environment tenders must be circular and from 2022 next year 10 of city procurement will be circular what i really like about this it's got long vision decadal ambition but then next year opportunity if you are a pioneer in the circular economy we're creating a market for you right now it also tells all businesses you are welcome to do business in amsterdam but if you want to stick around you've got to get circular otherwise you're going to have to leave and it and and here's the powerful thing i think boundaries unleash our creativity now you could talk to any architect any designer and they'll tell you that is definitely true think of a skateboarder it's boundaries it's walls and ledges and edges that give them something to do it's it's the tram lines that turn tennis into the game of tennis from gamer just whacking a ball around it's you know football in every boundaries are what enable us to get creative inside so when this when a government says we're going to be 100 circular by 2050. we're going to be 50 circle by 2030 and we want built circularity in the in the built environment in two years time that unleashes the creativity of architects who may at first think oh more regulations but hang on once you get over this you i and i know architects in amsterdam but first of all more regulations when they get on top of it they're like oh we're now at the front end of circular building design we now got skills and practice and experience that are going to be wanted all over europe and all over the world so this is actu this is pushed us to the front edge but also what i noticed is students leaving university they've studied circularity circular materials circular design and they leave university and they say you mean i actually get to do this it wasn't just a nice fun thing we did in our textbooks and i have to put that away and get back to business as usual i actually get to do this in my city so i experience a lot of energy and creativity in that city where the boundaries are clear and i think it's missing in other places that haven't put those boundaries in do you think that too i you you must be seeing this so much from your work as well what do you think the boundaries what boundaries have you seen that unleash creativity no you're right i think you it's absolutely as well inspiring for people for researchers to see these targets right of course we in academia sometimes also get a bit cynical because their promises but they're not upheld um and we're a bit okay is this the new craze they're gonna say they're gonna be x amount circular but how they're gonna possibly do it like a city is an open system by design you know a city is we made it over the i don't know how many thousand years so that it's accumul well things accumulate somewhere else and that enables other people to free up their time to become an artist to become a citizen etc etc so by design cities are open um which is i guess a fact but how do you make it how do you close a thing that it's by definition open uh so okay let's let's get over that but um but then it's okay that it that is good but how do we do things so i i helped the i worked a lot with the region of brussels we were we held a chair on circular economy in urban metabolism so during their four years of circular economy plan we were a bit the sparring partner to to think things through uh that's a difficult tongue twister and the idea was okay but you are now um funding so many different actions innovative actions how do we know they're circular and you know is there a way to define okay i put that million euros i got more circular they didn't have this um this uh measurement and so that's kind of that was a bit frustrating thing for many people to to know at the end okay what have we managed in four years did did this i think wonderful activities happen over these four years i think a lot of people uh made links so it was a systemic opportunity to to collaborate and a lot of people didn't think that was possible at the beginning and are now motivated to continue but then is okay but what do we do the next four years and how much do we need to do more so we need i think quantities help us as well to to know what are the efforts to be made because if we say 50 circular but what are we today are we one two five uh so i think these are the the things that of course that's my job so this is what gets me excited to to get these numbers and to then help to to say okay that fits into that number or that doesn't you know making a a green roof is fantastic but does it make a city more circular or not what's the definition that we're giving it and all that so yeah i think that that does not answer your question but yeah and for me circularity is a part of something bigger which is regenerative so i would say for example a green roof is absolutely part of a regenerative city but it might not be part of the circular use of materials but let me let me pull back a moment and and that's interesting you worked with brussels because also it was the secretary of state of uh and economic transition in brussels attract she contacted us and said i want to bring the donut to my city and we said fabulous we're not consultants it wouldn't be right anyway for us to come to your city we're not from your city find an organization locally that is embedded in part of the civic society she did an organization called confluence and they over the past year have actually uh produced the brussels donut and they published it quite recently on a website brussels.donut really wonderful reports of them exploring what would it mean to do the donut in brussels at the at the regional level um at the level of a neighborhood at the level of buildings the level of objects really wonderful exploration of that work um where was i going to go ah oh i know yes so so the question that we invite any city to ask and since we're talking brussels i'll i'll see out of brussels here's here's the question if any city says well we want to do the donut what would it mean to do the donut here here's what would it mean we invite you to ask yourself this very ambitious 21st century question how could your city be a home to thriving people in an ecologically thriving place while respecting the well-being of all people and the health of the whole planet now that's a big question and it's got four parts the first part is what would it mean for all the people of this place to thrive so who are all the people of brussels in their full diversity of the people who've lived there for generations people who've arrived recently different cultural histories their values what does it mean to people there to thrive it's going to be different in brussels to barcelona to bombay right it's going to change secondly what would it mean for your city to thrive ecologically within its natural habitat and here we draw on the work of the by memory we think of janine venice if janine was to come to brussels she'd say right take me to the wildland next door now i don't know where that is but i bet there's some wild land yes okay in the south so let's go to the wildlandic store and let's literally take a hectare of this land and ask ourselves what is nature's generosity here so how much is nature sequestering carbon on this land how much is nature housing biodiversity and cooling the air and cleansing the air and storing uh water after a storm and building soil and that is nature's generosity here in this place on this land in this part of the world where your city is based now what if your city aimed to match or exceed the generosity of that wildland next door how could the city go from releasing carbon to actually storing carbon like the trees do how could the city store ground water under this under the pavements after a storm how could the city house biodiversity cool the air so that it becomes functionally indistinct from the wildland next door i love that because it's wildly but utterly naturally ambitious so these are local aspirations to be thriving people in a thriving place and in many of the indexes that are created of the best cities in the world where you could live it's cities that have that they have great you know they have great housing great latte coffee bars and great wi-fi and a great culture and there's mountains and trees and the air is clean and we could swim in the rivers so that's the kind of local aspiration what these often fail to take account of is what you were talking about the open system nature of this city's global responsibility because every city is embedded in intense networks with the whole planet and people worldwide so we say the other half of this city portrayed is to say how can your city respect the health of the whole planet so think of the supply chains that bring clothing and food and electronics and construction materials and consumer goods to your city every day and that stream of waste going out and that's where we must come back within planetary boundaries that's the consumption footprint it's the home of your work which is so valuable for helping make this visible in numbers and concepts how can we come back within planetary boundaries and of course almost every city in the global north is living way over planetary boundaries so this is a major challenge and cities never done this before they've never cut their consumption footprints they've never cut their carbon footprint they've never reduced the fertilizer used that goes worldwide into the food that they eat in their restaurant and then lastly we say while we've got you think again of those global supply chains of all the you know think of the people who stitched and sold your clothes who picked and packed the food who assembled your mobile phone in your laptop who dug and transported all those construction materials and are those people's rights respected because they are connected to your city now the last thing i'll say here is that when we produced the city portrait for amsterdam this was included this this this global social lens and it included uh quotes from we so we use global labor supply chain research of products that we know on sell in your city whether they're computer products or clothing or food and academics have done amazing work over the years tracing the supply chains of particular brands all over the world and we can see the conditions of workers so it's on sale in your city here are some of the workers who made those products this is what life is like for them and so it includes quotes from a female cobalt miner in the democratic republic of congo saying i have aches and pains all over my body or child labour working for one or two dollars a day mining cobalt or a bangladeshi garment worker producing brands that we know are on sale in the city of amsterdam when we first produced this our colleagues in the city of amsterdam said no no no no no this doesn't feel right this isn't us you can't put this in our portrait and we had a really fascinating conversation with them saying listen you're you're facing up to your ecological portrait which is shocking to look at this is the social story that goes with it it's not yours alone this is true in every city it doesn't go away if we hide it of course this is part of your city's story and and to my huge respect for them the city policy makers and the people who now talk about understand city portrait have absolutely turned around you will hear the deputy mayor of amsterdam medical van dornink telling you oh by the way our city imports cocoa into the port of amsterdam from across the world from west africa where we know there are modern-day slavery conditions on those cocoa farms this is connected to us we now recognize we are connected to this problem and as we are making our port more circular we must also think about how we tackle that too so she's embraced it and once you start facing it you can start to transform it i mean after all amsterdam is home to fair phone which is aiming to make phones totally different tony's chocoloney committed to slave free chocolate the clean clothes campaign campaign for workers rights worldwide so it's a city that's already an action about this so i'm telling this long story to say that bringing the donut to the city is a complex set of questions and we create a canvas that we invite people to look at their city through these four lenses some people might find it overwhelming actually my experience to date is that the people who we've had in the room or online say no this is empowering because we already know these things matter we already know that they're interconnected and this helps us to visualize them and recognize them and then start to identify as you said more employment but more carbon emissions in amsterdam we want more housing how do we do that without creating climate change we need to move to another solution we need more circularity we need to be more more social housing we need to build it differently we need to own it differently so it's these boundaries that people then recognize are triggering innovation yeah and i feel people feel more complete as well that we don't put you know the unconvenient truth under the carpet and you know we'll just make uh we'll take a bucket of green paint and then we'll paint our city green and everything is going to be nice so but that puts you know us researchers on a very difficult path to to figure out the consumption-based approach for cities this is like our nightmare because of the lack of consistent data and all of this but on the other side you put politicians on the hot seat like look look your responsibility just grew by ninety percent right now yeah you you were responding you thought that you were responsible to this amount of people now you're responsible to that amount of people and it's up to you to to figure this out and yeah and i want to ask you a question because this consumption-based accounting is so important i can tell you so so andrew fanning and dan o'neil and julia steinberg and will lam they did these national donuts in fact that's how i first met them they've done these amazing downscaling donuts for 150 countries and they're profound because some of the countries that so i used to work at the united nations development program or the human development report right it was my job around the year 2000 on on the day that the hdi came out to go on the roadshow radio show of the country that had come at the top and it was like norway australia canada and i had to go on their talk show radio and say hey you're the best country in the world to live in and i was so frustrated by this because the human development index reflects health education and average income and these are some of the most environmentally polluting countries in the world but it wasn't captured there so i was saying yes congratulations and and we needed the data to show that actually there's an environmental degradation story behind that high achievement now the downscale national donut does it and it does it visually again coming back to the power of pictures i tell you i i now work very closely with andrew fanning he's part of the team at donald economics section i was so thrilled to have him as part of our team because his work is invaluable we i did a presentation for norway recently so i take the norwegian national donor which looks very good on the social foundation but lots of red overshoot and i show this to norwegian government officials and you can literally see that that's us i mean we're norway yeah exactly no or we're canada or where australia that's us and there's this shock now it's only possible because of this consumption-based data so first of all thank you to you and all the researchers who make this data which i know is a incredibly fiddly hours painstaking work but it in the end it literally makes people's jaws drop it has a huge impact and so often after a speech a policy maker will say when you showed that picture of our country with that that red overshoot i mean you can tell someone's really literally been physically changed inside their sense and therefore their sense of global responsibility as well so i want to know what you see as this emerging future of the consumption data because of course at the moment it's we don't have enough of it now we're aware of it we want to down scale up the city we can't so i want you to do i want you to tell me that we're going to get more i want to i want you to tell me that this is going to only get better but but honestly i want to hear from you where do you see this work going and what do you think is most important to bring forward in the consumption-based data in terms of actually having impacts in policy wow well thanks we're flipping the the interview around now it's a conversation it's a conversation it is um so so just to to clear things out for the people listening consumption based is looking at everything that's happening from the mining until the consumption until the waste of one product and then you have to add it for all of the products of your city and then that's what we call the consumption based and then you have what we call the territorial based that's looking at the meters of your house of all of the houses around you so you get one direct quantity and one consumption based quantity for brussels just as a reference the consumption base is three to four times higher than the territorial one for energy materials for water is 42 times more so and that's for agriculture so it means that in brussels becoming vegetarian or vegan is much more important than taking showers instead of bats right so you can do both you can do both of course of course i'm telling about priorities so why and how is this possible brussels is a region at the same time and luckily in belgium we have what we call input output tables that are regionalized and we have one for brussels so that's like the best case scenario you have a city and you have it's it's stable it's input output table to do it now there is almost no other cities in the world that have an input output table except in australia and things like that where so some of the colleagues of uh of uh julia and you mentioned him in in the book tommy whitman and his team in in sydney so they've been doing this for 15 years 20 years now uh and they've collaborated with the statistical offices there so they down scale this to neighborhoods so they have individual input output tables for neighborhoods and i think this is where it is fantastic because you can see the one neighborhood and compare them and all of that and that's that's was only possible because they had this very long term collaboration with the statistical office and then they infiltrated it somehow you know i mean you get to have your colleagues there and they work with you and all of this so i think this is more or less the future is to understand that we're nowhere near the challenge to to measure this kind of stuff and then have our students so as you said the economic student the economist of the 21st century or the environmental people of the 21st century need to have this in their tool belt they need to know how to do consumption based they need to know how to measure stuff but this is going to take at least five to ten years time before we get there i think because these input output tables are generally produced every five years more or less so we always have a delay as well we only know like five years later what happened with the policy right now so i hope that this is where we're gonna get we're gonna get modest about what we know and what we don't know and then say okay don't don't well we're all data poor in some case right there is always we're never going to have the data that we want so what can we do with it what does it say let's interpret it and what are the data gaps in order to i mean what should we do in the next five years so so data and information should be part of political plans to know about it to know about the stories as you mentioned the social stories because this is even less known right we know about the the translating economic flows into environmental flows but the social stories this is like a a black story black box we we we know nothing about it and it could absolutely be known i mean if companies wanted us to know oh you just put a little qr code on every shirt um you know i could scan scan my shirt and up on my screen would pop a live webcam for the factory where it was made easy if they wanted me to know easy congrats you just enslaved so many people it's not like it's impossible to to do it's who owns that information who controls it but i think it's going to be so important this consumption-based data because just as uh in the climate change negotiations it's still very much based on territorial emissions and the idea that we should take responsibility for consumption well some countries will still say but that that that goes beyond our ability our limits but as you see in in climate change the more that it's possible to do attribution of extreme weather events and connect that to excessive carbon emissions there are law cases coming right now once the information comes the legal case comes and i think with consumption-based um emissions and consumption-based data once the information comes i'm not so focusing on the legal cases coming but rather that the the moral responsibility and the awareness that this is our hours to act upon and that we can affect it and that we can make a difference uh and we'll see that change in the data that's that's going to be more and more important so i'm just really excited about you say five ten years you know the dinosaurs are saying blink of an eye but of course this is a this is an important decade and we need it fast and i really hope that we'll look back in a decade's time and we'll look back at the national donuts that andrew and his team made and they'll they'll look we i hope in a decades time they'll look incredibly simplistic and almost crude i really hope they do because then we will have moved on but we would never get there if we didn't start here so i get frustrated when people criticize data for being incomplete or in attitudes like do you want anything or not i feel like the archaeologists brushing away the dust and gradually gradually getting a clearer picture as the data gradually improves and you need to you know academics need to recognize it's shortfall and recognize it inherit flaws and uncertainties and still use it because it's the best information we currently have yeah and we cannot wait 10 years to get the better data before we act right i mean that's but it's funny how economic policies they didn't care about the data right they had whatever they wanted and you you so i had an economic crash course by by learning by reading this book i learned so many biases that were by famous uh 20th century uh and before economist that all said well it's uh you know if we grow a bit more things are gonna get better like be accusednet or beat other people uh so yeah it's a we can't say that we had data before and we acted upon right we have some heuristic knowledge we know that consuming less is better right we know that cities are open and so probably they consume two three four ten times more outside so even if it's three or five you can still reduce it right i mean there's no we shouldn't wait until we know if it's three or five we should just start reducing and we'll see where that gets exactly exactly that's the direction we need to move in so i'm excited about this this kind of data being put together with this kind of picture yes and enabling cities and there are the kind of policymakers out there who we need you said yeah i want to use this as my new city dashboard as my new national dashboard why not why not in five years time governments around the world standing up against this dashboard and saying here is what we have achieved over the last year here is how we're making progress on eliminating these deprivations for people we certainly have the data for that already here's the progress we're making on coming back within planetary boundaries this is the new metrics to which we hold ourselves accountable we're not going to stand here and just say it drives growth growth growth we're going to say we are bringing ourselves into thriving balance and that will be the metrics of the 21st century and metrics make visible a paradigm and a paradigm changes the future so i want to ask you uh another question which is about you you your penultimate penultimate chapter the one on be agnostic about growth you finish it about so you had this whole how is it going right now growth and then are we going to land or are we going to continue to grow and then you at the very end you say welcome to the arrivals lounge and you say that actually the airplane was perhaps not the best metaphor to describe gdp's future journey and then i was like wait what so you say so you said that rostow should have been introduced to 21st century water sports and i reckon he should he would set his heart on kite surfing as far better metaphor for the future of gdp and that i was hooked i was like so why kitesurf tell me you kitesurf i really wish i could tell you i kind of stepped on the kite served that would be very cool wouldn't it oh yeah i'm the european kind serving champion no i've never cut stuff but i've watched kite surfing and so so because the airplane is a really sort of binary idea it goes up and then it comes down and it that's just too simplistic we live in complex systems and just like our bodies that are constantly needing homeostasis constantly adapting and jiggling uh between balancing between the ceiling and the floor right and you want to stay between and you have to adapt and and you're transforming and there might be a wave of transformation and you go over a bump a bit and the point isn't are we going up or down the point is this is adjusting this is adjusting so so the the major dynamics that we want to create the major things we should be measuring are are we going from degenerative to regenerative and are we going from divisive to distributive these are the big trends that i believe that the 21st century should be judging itself by now what's happening to gdp gdp is the valuable goods and services sold in an economy in a year that's what it is it's a fraction of all the things we care about because many things that we care about and give us well-being aren't even priced aren't even in the market so you can't buy them or sell them so it's just a slice a bit and and of course it tells you something it tells you about the level of monetized economic activity going on but the big trends we want like the the horizon we're going towards is regenerative and distributive design now imagine we're on a kite surf right so you're juggling with the waves that are rolling beneath you let's think of the waves as being the regenerative design we're moving towards a kind of you know these waves of regeneration are happening and it's disruptive and then there's the winds of change coming through with being more distributive think of that sail is opening up right here's here's my kite surf sail big sail catch the wind i don't have my my kite surf as a prop i should have yeah you should have do you kite are you good yes yes that's why i when i read that i was like oh come on next time okay you teach me would you teach me yeah no worries so and then tell me i'm getting this all correct right so you're juggling the motion of the waves under your board you're juggling the pull of the wind in your sail and how do you do that because in the middle you've got a bar and it goes up and down and you pull on your bar up and down to manage the relationship between the wind and the waves and when i saw that i thought that's it gdp i'm not going to go it's always going to go up you don't want that bar is going up or down it the point is it adapts it becomes an adaptive variable and you use it to adapt to use the wind and the waves to get to where you want to go to so yeah so does that work for something yeah yeah okay exactly you need your lines in tension and your bar is the regulating factor so there we go next time we meet i hope it's going to be over a beach and give me a give me a zoom handshake wait the other one yeah i want that kite stuffing good uh so i generally ask two small questions before the end which is what's next what do you what's what's in the you know the the plans for 2021 and then can you swim yes i can swim yeah good so that's going to be helpful for the kite lessons and then some books articles videos films something inspiring that you would like to share oh what's in the pipeline for 2021 well it's sometimes funny you didn't ask me this but sometimes people say to me and and what's your next book going to be and i say well i'm not going to write another book until this one's done and this one ain't done yet so i wrote a book as an act of advocacy i didn't write a book because i wanted to write a book it just seemed the most effective thing to do next and now the most effective thing to do is to donate economics action lab and i'm just loving working with these amazing change makers who show up because we never knock on anyone's door we've never once asked anybody to talk about the donut use the doughnut recommend the don't never why there's so many ideas out there use the ones that make sense to you so all the people we work with are change makers who got in touch with us from around the world and said this is useful to me in my context and i'm thrilled and motivated every single day by working with those folks so we are going to be working more in cities and places global north and south we're going to start working more with businesses and opening that box and seeing how we can do this well so i'm really excited about that work that lies ahead in terms of books i want to recommend oh my goodness there's too many um i don't know if they're around by me now i'm going to okay the one book that i read that just really profoundly moved me and i know has been moving many many people is braiding sweetgrass by robin wall kimmera it's an amazing book that really actually takes us back to where this conversation began about the argentinian talking about pachamama and the englishman talking about western rational science and robin will kimra is from a first nations culture in the us but taught as a scientific academic ecologist and she sits across indigenous knowledge and western science of ecology of the land it's a just a profoundly brilliant book about regeneration of people and land so that was a really brilliant book um yeah that's the one i'm going to recommend today thanks so much and thanks as well everyone for watching or listening until the end um please share this with other people that will enjoy this and kate we have a meeting settled for next time we meet on a beach we really do you're on okay great to talk to you thank you so much thanks so much

we're gonna go try some of Montreal's finest Bagels one thing you need for a bagel for a bagel tasting day it's essential it's the bagel dunks let's go get the bagel ducks now we're good to go okay so stop number one we are here at segatar Bagel located on saviatar Street in the Marlin a borough of the plateau um so this place has been open since 1957 actually the owner came from Poland it was a holocaust Survivor and he was dreaming about bread and he came here opened up the spot it's been a family-run business since then they now have uh two big old cafes they have two bakeries they have one online store so definitely a staple in Montreal if you're on good bagels it's where it's at and uh yeah let's go inside and try some bagels foreign so right away when you walk in you get this crazy smell of dough baking some Sesame some honey the smell is just magic so let's go get some bagels we got some cream cheese so we're gonna try the bagels uh as is but also you know cream cheese I always go with the Philly because you know Philly's a just gonna try some plain bagels and some cream cheese some butter all that stuff so you always get the Sesame Bagel when you're here not the blueberry I mean they're all good but Sesame is the way to go hi can I get a half a dozen of Sesame Bagels please and the cream cheese good thing to know they only take cash so make sure you bring those dollar bills nice and warm [Applause] Beauty messy so you can see that's the tasting station here because you know there's a bunch of sesame seeds so the ultimate test you gotta try the bagel as is [Music] um so right away um you can see the outside is crispy inside is very soft you can taste the honey so what they do is they they boil the bagels in water and honey and then they put those bagels in a long wood panel and they bake those in the beautiful firewood oven that we saw over there and that's why you get this very nice soft metal and a nice crispy outside but there's this big war between Montreal bagels and New York Bagels um Montreal bagels are always you know crispy smaller whereas the New York Bagels are always more on a doughy side looks like more like a like a bread shaped bagel um so that's a big difference also these are baked in a wood oven um and uh besides the war between New York and Montreal there's even the war between Montreal's best bagels which we know we have here and our next location is Fairmont Bagels so the goal here is to figure out who's Bagel rank Supreme is it Fairmont sneviatar we're about to find out but these are goddamn good [Applause] all right next spot we're heading to Fairmont Bagel which is uh what two is from here yeah it's pretty close should we walk there or take the car see the car I have a lazy piece of so let's go and it's cold [Applause] so we're heading now to uh Fremont bagel over there it looks uh it looks a bit busier in saviatar I'm quite surprised that that guitar was like busier but uh seems like we have some sort of lineup situation we'll navigate through it all right so we just got spot number two Paramount Bagels uh so this place is even older than the saint vyatar Bagels it's been open since 1919. the owner actually came from Russia and opened up this place the original Fairmont Bagel was actually called Montreal Bagel Bakery it was on Saint Laurent Street on the Main and when they moved their location to here on Fremont Street it became what we know as Fairmont bagels and it looks like it's kind of busy inside right now so we're probably just gonna go in get some bagels and come back and taste outside so I'll be right back all right let's get some bagels [Applause] so uh price wise I think it's pretty much the same price six something for half a dozen bagels no some major points for Fairmont right off the bat these are these are warm as like you just feel that feel that all right okay so to be super honest I was kind of rooting for uh for savvyatar bagels but now these are something else like they're like they feel like nice and soft maybe the one we had at Santa where you know we're like in the in the bin for a long time these are very fresh still smoking oh my God you see those yeah I mean maybe we're just not lucky with the bagels I think I thought but these are smoking hot they feel fresher crispier I don't know why I was rooting for sevilladar these are way better actually I could 100 do a blind test now I could tell these are the Fairmont Bagels I guess the ultimate test now is going to be a blind testing let's go home try both Bagels you know we'll just do a non-biased taste thing blind taste find out which Bagels rank Supreme in Montreal Fairmont let's find out let's go home all right so we're back home we have Bagels from sevillatar from Fairmont it's tasting time let's go so before we get to tasting we'll do a little visual comparison of both Bagels so the senator is a bit uh thicker a bit bigger uh this one is definitely a bit darker also so I guess this one is crispy on the outside than this one so now that now that both bagels have been resting for a while it's gonna give us a better idea of like you know which one is better um uh after a couple hours of you know being out of the oven so um yeah let's uh let's get set up for a blind tasting do the ultimate test see what's what I'm gonna do like the plain Sistine Bagel we'll try with butter we'll try with cream cheese and uh well finally know go find a no which Bagel rank Supreme in montrealtar Vermont we're about to find out let's go so lucky enough for a good timing I just got this beautiful bread knife from uh CLK my official knife provider and it's an absolute Beauty and if you can see the camera here there's like metal shavings in the in the handle which is cool I think so let's see if it's as sharp as it looks it is all right [Applause] so we have our Bagels here from Sevilla tar we have our big olsier for Vermont so the classic cream cheese it's not a sponsored video but I really like the Philly so you know been the one I've been eating for about life so we'll just do cream cheese here okay so this one can be just butter so butter spread here all right so uh what we're gonna do is you know we have all our Bagels set up here cream cheese butter plain these are saviatar these are Fairmont well do is use my beanie as a Blinder and then uh my beautiful filmer here Gage will hand me some bagels and I can't see can't see so uh we'll probably try it with uh try the cream cheese first and make our way down to the butter and then the plane so Gage please okay now maybe I'll put my nose out there a little bit so I can smell so it's really hard to tell which one is what just by feeling it but I can't say that my first instinct is telling me that this is a fair amount Bagel just because it's crispier outside look at it that's right okay it's pretty good all right um bill number two oh it's making me doubt my first uh uh yeah actually I think that's maybe the same theater and Fairmont just just by touching them it's harder than I thought to be I thought it was gonna be very obvious but it's not I think this is Vermont and this is am I right at the end which one do you prefer okay one more bite I like this one better I had a nicer crispy outside in the middle I feel like it's uh not as blowing as much when I bite into it that would be my number one that was a bagel with butter tasting so in my right hand this one and left then the other one all right so again this one feels crispier again is it unsalted butter I think so I hate unsalted butter okay it's very hard to say I'm gonna go with this one number one number one number one is better in my opinion I think it's Fairmont it's nice a plane test and that we mentioned earlier these have been going down so it's pretty much the same temperature wise or you know at the same place so it's giving us a more uh of an equal um comparison thank you okay let me just okay crispier oh yeah that's crispy for sure nice crispy the dough hmm this one is sweeter which indicates me that this is probably Savvy atar because we definitely got the honey notes more present in the same at our bagel and obviously size wise this feels a bit bigger than this one so I feel like when they cool down it's very very much harder to figure out which is what this one's a bit more dewy I feel like I would go with I just went better I think this is Fairmont I think that this is am I right okay it's the last one so you are right so this is a pheromone Bagel yeah you can unbindfold yourself now but I will say oh did I know that the first two you picked Saint Viator is your favorite oh really that's crazy so what does that say the thing is you know what we had the two the first initial tasting was outside the store fish out of the oven so that first one was won by Vermont you know no doubt about it and then on the blind taste thing it seems like we have two votes for saviator and one for Fairmont so which brings us to a draw that's not good you can't end up this video with a draw I guess I have to make a decision and uh you know I have to make a decision of who's gonna be the big old Champion yeah and we have to figure out who's a big old champion that sucks I mean I like both because uh you know we went to save yatar we announced ourselves uh coming for a video and they gave us some you know older Bagels which was a bit disappointing to be to be fair and then we got to Vermont we did not shoot inside and then you know just as random customers and we got them out of the oven Super Hot Bagels maybe because it was a bit busier they were having a better like um turn over on bagels and that's why we always get the the fresh ones so I think I'm yeah I'm uh I was rooting for Saint vyatar you know we have the the shoes to prove it and uh I feel like Fairmont Bagel is our winner here yeah I like the crispier uh outside you see how it's like it's been I guess baking for a bit longer or has been baking for at a higher temperature this one's very very light on the on the outside the color is very like beige which was like nice and brown and the contrast the texture is definitely more interesting in my opinion on this one but you know the blind tasting got us all confused but uh if I had to choose one I would go with Vermont Bagel but that being said it's a very very close call um breaks my heart for saviatar but this this whole realm was run Was Won by Fairmont Bagels so yeah sorry saviator but uh the ringing champion of the bagel game is the Fairmont Bagels it was a very hard decision to make but uh you know I had to go with my feeling my experience not only like the the tasting but even just like you know the being served the warm Bagels out of the oven while we were at Vermont compared to the drier so yeah Fair one's a winner and uh it was a fun experience to make I'm very happy we got to taste those bagels so I really hope you guys enjoyed this episode uh we don't have a name for the show yet so if you guys have any suggestions for for a name for our you know kind of Vlog tasting whatever we're doing here leave it in the comments and we'll pick our favorite one from there if not in the Subscribe button hit the Bell to make sure you don't miss the next video leave a like leave a comment and is there anything else I think that's everything so yeah thanks guys for watching thanks for tuning in and we'll see you on the next episode of we don't have a name yet not a good slap ah there you go that was a good clap and now back to eating bagels	Laurent Dagenais	UC-Ci_zPa5MrYKuzmL9ZD_ig	2023-03-15	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	2,342	11,636
Hytt2Jo8Lio	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hytt2Jo8Lio	How To Make A Mask At Home \| 5 Easy DIY Masks \| Kreena Desai	[Music] hi I'm Karina and welcome to my channel I know that you guys are seeing a DIY video after such a long time so today I'm going to show you five different ways of creating a mask right from the comfort of your home go to a grocery store or pharmacy to get your necessities you can even go to a park if the weather is good but you would have to maintain a good social distance and even the public transport is still operating but the only requirement is that you would have to wear a mask anywhere you go I know there are several countries like India where the lockdown is very strict like my parents can't go anywhere they have to stay at home and I know that once things are a little more lenient a mask with to be a requirement while most of us is still stuck at home and have all the time in the world why not divert it into this DIY project the first hack is super easy and this is something I came up with just a few days ago when I had to go somewhere and I had to cover my face as I had mentioned earlier if I'm using public transport in Toronto I do have to wear a mask or keep my face covered and I literally just walked into my closet and it's on this tube top which I had purchased from Bandra a few years ago and they just put this over my head I raise the fabric up to my nose and whatever excess fabric which was left at the back of my neck I tied it up with a rubber band and then I covered it with my hair and I know this is not the perfect way to protect yourself from the virus since you do need a few layers to protect yourself completely but in this emergency situation this is a perfect solution for me to make this mask all you will need is a single sock and a pair of scissors take a long sock and cut three and a half inches away from the edge now cut straight from the sock in order to create this rectangular piece now fold this rectangular piece horizontally and then fold it up one more time now cut a tiny slit half an inch away from the edge this mask is so easy to make it literally took me less than a minute and I absolutely love how this looks [Music] so for the next three masks I would need a cotton fabric and all my summer clothes are at my in-laws house and all my winter clothes are knitted so the only option that I had was to cut up jahan's shirts which are made of cotton but I don't want wonderful windows and I did realize that there's a bedsheet that I bought from India this time around as you guys can see this white one is the one that I use on my queen-size mattress and the gray one is the one that I got from India which is really wide so I'm just going to cut this extra fabric out in order to make my mask [Music] Signori in order to make a third mask I would need a square fabric or a bandana so I'm just going to cut a 15 inch square from this fabric [Music] now fold the top and bottom edge of the fabric to the center and then repeat the same thing one more times take two pieces of hair tie and slide it from the left and right side of the fabric now fold the fabric from the left side and bring it towards the center and tuck it in the holes that you had created earlier do the same on the other side as well [Music] this mask was super easy to make all I had to do was pull the fabric and that's it like I did not have to stitch anything and it works very well and the best part about it is that I can even wash it so I can just unfold it put in the washer and the dryer and then refold it and use it again so this mask is my favorite from this video because it has a filter which can be replaced every time you use it in order to make this mask you will need a fabric which is 16 inches wide and 8 inches long fold the fabric in half and then fold half inch sections from both the ends iron the fabric so that the full stay in place leave a gap of one inch from the base and pinch half an inch of the fabric and fold it downwards repeat the same steps two more times now [Music] open up the fabric and use the strings on the last tape which is five inches long and place it on the left and right just like this [Music] now fold the top section of the mask and can the elastic in place now you will have to stitch a vertical line on the left and right of the mat you can either use a needle and thread or you can use your sewing machine [Music] now you can take a paper towel or a filter and place it between the two fabrics in order to create a barrier I [Music] absolutely love this mask because it has a filter which can be replaced so every time I'm done using it I can toss this out and use another one and I also love the fan fold basically this will make sure that it fits right on your face and it hugs the bridge of your nose and your mouth very well there are deal-breakers were a colorful thank you so much for sticking around till the end of this video I love this mask because it fits very well and it fits very well on your face and in order to make this you will need a plate which is 10 to 12 inches wide place it on a piece of fabric and cut it now fold the circle in half and fold it once again and cut all the folds so that you get four different pieces take two pieces at a time and Stitch the curved edge now fold one of them inside out and place it between the other one just like this [Music] leave a gap of two inches and stitch along the edges [Music] convert the fabric inside out [Music] [Applause] you can either stitch this with a machine or a fan soulless I prefer to use a needle and thread so that I don't see the seam line on the other side of the mask once you've created the loop insert the elastic band tie a knot and for the knot through the loop [Music] and that's it I absolutely love this mask it fits so well on my face and it was super easy to make thank you so much for watching this video I hope you guys learned how to create a mask and if you would do end up creating one of the designs please tag me on Instagram I would love to see your recreations until next time take care of yourself stay safe stay indoors and I'll be back very soon bye [Music]	Kreena Italia	UC6eeRzvhnLvwL9NF3jDs8gA	2020-05-31	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,253	6,063

Xz-7oDrZdQY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-7oDrZdQY	Sysmon, Winlogbeat, and Security Onion!	hello my name is matt gracie and i'm an engineer on the professional services team at security onion solutions this video is about improving your visibility into the windows endpoints on your network by deploying sysmon and winlogbeat sysmon is a free tool from the sysinternals team at microsoft that provides additional fine-grained logging capabilities for things like process creation events file modifications even dns queries it writes these logs into an application specific windows event log on the local machine we can then use an elastic tool called a win log beat one of an array of agents that they support to read these logs and forward them into security onion for parsing and analysis let's get started the first thing that we need to do is configure the firewall and security onion to allow traffic to come in from those beats agents we can do this by opening an ssh session to our manager running sudo so allow enter your password if you're prompted for it and this will open up an interactive menu for firewall management in this case we want to accept traffic from win log beat so we hit b for beat and then we can enter an ip address or a network range to allow traffic from in this case our windows server is at 192.168.1.15 when we enter this it'll take a few seconds to update the firewall configuration and security onion and then when it's done it'll be able to accept beats traffic from that ip or network keep in mind that this is submitting traffic via plain text if you check our documentation you'll find information on how to do it over a tls or ssl connection now that our security onion installation is configured to accept log traffic from a beats agent we need to install sysmon and win logbeat on a windows host in order to generate and ship that traffic the sysmon installer is freely downloadable from the microsoft website to find it either search for sysinternals sysmon with your favorite search engine or go to sysinternals.com this will install a service on your windows host that generates the additional log data that we're going to ingest in security onion now sysmon can be very noisy so when you install it you have the option of using a configuration template in order to specify which events and resources get logged one of the best templates available is written by the twitter account swift on security and is available from their github repository you may want to revisit this configuration at some point in the future to tune it and make sure that everything is appropriate for your environment but as a starting point it's an excellent basic configuration now to install sysmon we just need to go into a command prompt or a powershell prompt go into the directory where we've downloaded sysmon you can see here we've run the help options so we run sysmon64 because this is a 64-bit installation of sysmon we are installing so dash i and then we need to install or specify the configuration file which is sysmon config export.xml when we run this command it will install sysmon it will install the appropriate service and it will start sysmon in the background now the additional data about process creations and file creations and so on is being logged into our windows event log environment the next step is to install winlogbeat to forward that information from windows event logs into security onion the winlogbeat agent can be downloaded from the download section in your security onion console or sock right here along the left hand side you see win log beat is at the top it's important to note that the version of win log beat increments fairly often generally with each release of security onion so you want to make sure that you're using the most current version of win log beat in order to make sure that it matches the parsers on the receiving side this will ship the logs generated by sysmon into our security onion installation so like sysmon this does require a little bit of configuration as well let's install accept the terms install and see it says open win log beat data directory in windows explorer this will open a window to program data elastic beats win log b which is where the configuration is stored in this case i've already written a yaml file with the configuration that i want so i'll copy that into our win log beats directory and let me open that up so you can see what it looks like we have specified that we want to forward the application log ignore anything older than 72 hours so if this machine is not on the network for 72 hours those items will not be forwarded i want to forward anything in the system log i won't afford anything in the security log and i want to forward anything in this microsoft windows sysmon operational log this is a application specific log for sysmon data and similarly i want to forward anything in the powershell operational log that's for powershell script block logging a little further down the yaml file you'll see we have our outputs in this case we're using the log stash output to send the data to 192.168.1.10 on port 5044 that's the port that we opened earlier with so allow so what this configuration is going to do is it's going to have the winlogbeat agent running on this machine picking up all the data from these four or five event logs packaging it up sending it into the log status instance on security onion to be parsed and then available for later analysis as you can see the winlogbeat installer gives you a example configuration in the file winlogbeat.example.yaml that you can modify for your environment once you have winlogbeat.eml configured the way you want it you can open up your services menu look for the elastic winlogbeat oss service and start it this will read in the yaml file that we just set up and start forwarding those logs into your security onion instance on the windows side this is what it looks like let's open something simple like paint okay so we've opened the paint application now if we look in our event logs under windows logs application logs microsoft windows sysmon operational we'll see here that we have all sorts of logs these are mostly dns queries we also have process creations and so on right here we have mmc that's for opening the event viewer and here we have our ms paint so when we launched that ms paint executable it read in all the information about it we get the path of the executable we get the process id the original file name hashes of the executable and so on all very useful content from a threat hunting and analysis perspective now that we have wind log beat on this uh windows server it will take all of this stuff that's being logged by the sysmon process and forward it into security onion for us to be ingested and used as an additional source of information about what's going on on our network so let's see what that looks like in security onion so if we go back to the security onion console and take a look at our hunt interface right now we have hunt set to break everything out by event module and event data set and you see we have sysmont broken out as a separate event module here if we scroll down in our group metrics you'll see that the various types of sysmont log dns queries process creations registry values being set etc are all being broken out as separate records in the backend database if i want to look just at sysmon events i can left click on that go to include it will break down just the sysmond stuff if i want to see something like what processes were created i can look at just that open one of these up and i see all of the process creation rules in here because we have native parsing all of this stuff is broken out into win log event so i can look at something like the apparent executable or the parent command line or even the process executable itself group by that and i can see all of the executables that are kicking off in my environment i've got msi exec win log beat msi exact these are from the installation process we just went through and then here's that ms paint executable that we looked at earlier in the event viewer so we get rid of the process creation piece here so all in all by installing sysmon and winlogbeat we're able to gather the sort of information that would normally require a commercial edr things like parent process ids executable image names dns queries coming from individual processes etc put them into our security onion installation and then use them as context and information for threat hunting and searching if you want to see something like what executable on which windows endpoint made a particular suspicious dns query we can do that with sysmon this dns query data set breaks it all down by which executable on which machine made which query at what time it's an excellent tool for hunting and for getting additional context into what's happening on your network and best of all it's all free and it's very easy to set up so thank you very much for your time i hope you found this video useful if you have more questions about winlog beat or other elastic beats and how you can use them to extract data from your environment and import it into security onion please check out our documentation page that's at securityonion.net docs if you're interested in our training offerings where we go deeper into topics like this please the information is available at securityonion.net training and if you're attempting to implement this in your environment and you're running into roadblocks or having trouble figuring it out please start a new thread at our community discussion forum that's at securityonyou.net discuss thank you very much have a great day	Security Onion	UCNBFTyYCdjT5hnm7uW25vGQ	2021-12-14	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,735	9,638

5MtEa47aljY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MtEa47aljY	Right Thought and the Foundations of Mindfulness	welcome to one mind zen tonight's dharma talk is given by ron kisen stevenson tonight i'd like to talk about right thought and the foundations of mindfulness the eightfold path is something that we as buddhists have that can help us in our lives to evolve in our spiritual journeys the second step of the april path of course is right thought the first is right vision or right aim now obviously we need a fundamental point of departure or direction in our journey a fundamental framework of understanding and that's set forth in the four noble truths this is the understanding that our mental suffering is caused by identification with objects and of course that we attach to them and they're impermanent and we lose them so the clinging to them and their inevitable loss and the dread of anticipatory fear constitute what we call dukkha in life or dissatisfaction so right aim is pretty much the resolution to overcome that suffering well the pali sutras emphasize the four noble truths as a means of personal salvation in other words salvation from personal suffering rather than compassion for all beings so it's been referred of course uh referred to as hinayana the lesser vehicle by contrast mahayana has been called the greater path because it focuses a lot on compassion for all sentient beings however i would like to point out that there is no inherent contradiction in the two ultimately there's no separation between self and other unless we're able to get our own mind straight there is no way to help others so self-care is an absolute prerequisite for the care of others so right thought then means getting our own mental processes straightened out so that the other practices on the eightfold path can then become possible and a better understanding of human psychology in general which we may gain partly from self-introspection can help us understand others better as well and we can be in a better position to help and that's why right thought matters now thought itself of course is an automatic function of mind and so it can't be either right or wrong so right thought really implies that we become aware of our mental processes and know which to follow and which are not worth following we can have a skillful approach to our thoughts and feelings rather than just haphazardly going along and allowing them to dominate us at every turn we can examine our habitual thought patterns to better understand what they are where they arise from what their original purposes were and if they are still useful or not we can evaluate whether we still need the behaviors or whether they become hindrances or dysfunctional patterns and yes we do have a lot of habitual uh patterns do we not uh we're triggered by all sorts of things certain words people political thoughts beliefs sometimes we don't even know why we're triggered by something and one reason is that our earliest conditioned responses were formed when we were too immature to have the mental processes to understand or process them as infants for example we would not have any real memory of trauma because the hippocampus in the brain which encodes memory had not yet developed so you would not have an actual explicit memory of a triggering event however there is implicit memory which means that these triggers become encoded in our biology rather than through our conceptual thinking minds which were still in the process of developing and as a result we're often reacting to old programs that we're not even conscious of and having maladaptive behaviors as a result and because it is so hard to identify these we can't really confront them or deal with them the way we adapt to early stress is useful in helping us to endure unbearably stressful situations early in life but the same adoptive strategies become sources of pathology threatening our health both mentally and physically and our brain development as children is impacted as well a child's development depends on parents who are available consistently emotionally available non-stressed and responsive to his needs any hindrance or disruption to these things will actually impact brain development i'd like to talk about uh psychologist gabor mate for a moment he emphasizes the fact that the emotions and biology are inseparable he puts it this way what you lose emotionally translates into biological events so uh dr mate was diagnosed with adhd at the age of 53 she's quite a late age the behaviors he identified at the time were tuning out inattentiveness and removing oneself from the situation this is dissociation now i can also identify with these behaviors we are all on a spectrum now how did he come to develop this well when gabor was a two-month-old infant his mother handed him to a stranger on the streets of budapest now his mother was jewish and she gave him up to save his life gabriel was then separated from her for several months she was in a a work camp now obviously he couldn't have any actual recollection of this event at such an early stage again the hippocampus of the brain was not yet developed but an implicit unconscious memory of abandonment became so deeply encoded that many years later he recalls an incident where he just flew into an inexplicable rage when his wife was unable to pick him up at an airport so what would you do as an infant at this early stage separated from your mother and how do you react even today to triggering stressful events well first you could confront the situation which is a fight or flight second if that's not available you could ask for help but what if you were unable to do any of these things you wouldn't deal with it your brain would your brain would employ a number of different defense mechanisms and dissociation is one example i gave the brain opts out of the intolerable situation by making you tune out the stress but as a young child you're tuning out at a time when millions of brains connections are being made every minute as a result that temporary behavior becomes encoded as a personality trait an implicit memory of abandonment gets encoded this memory or feeling misinforms the adult's logic and warps our perception of what we encounter it causes us to engage in unskillful thinking and actions throughout our lives now the child is reacting just automatically to the stress of its environment and that is of course primarily its mother mate points out that as children we are purely narcissistic in the sense that whatever we experience is all about us regardless of what our mother's going through or the circumstances all we know is i was rejected i was not wanted now a narcissistic personality in adulthood is an individual so deeply traumatized as a child that validation seeking has become a lifelong obsession and career narcissistic personality disorder is just an extreme example of an adaptation mechanism that becomes a dysfunctional mental state of course there's many such coping mechanisms gabor mate for example became a physician he reasoned that if i'm not wanted i'll make myself needed he became a workaholic and as a result his own children developed adhd from that neglect that sense of abandonment and the dysfunction the dysfunctional mental patterns became intergenerational now our zen buddhist practice offers us another functional strategy introspection it isn't logical or conceptual but then again neither are our encoded thought patterns they're deeply biologically so our practice takes us where logic cannot go it teaches us to regard our arising thoughts and feelings dispassionately to encounter them be curious about them but not engaged and wrapped up in them and through that we learn what these patterns are we understand our programmed responses that arose to in response to past trauma and we can put them into perspective so by definition we are no longer hostage to them now in cohen practice in the cohen we transcend our habitual thought patterns and we can see more clearly into the nature of how they arise and we no longer mistake mental programs for something substantial enduring or essential but arguably i think the greatest tool that the buddha taught was mindfulness the foundations of mindfulness starts with noting the sensations of the body contemporary psychology has been deeply influenced by this this includes such modalities as somatic body experiencing of which peter levine is the leading progenitor internal family systems therapy ifs and emdr eye movement desensitization and reprocessing these forms of mindfulness practice have deep roots in this buddhist tradition which is about 2 600 years old and it started when the buddha exhorted his senior vehicles to train their students in the four foundations of mindfulness now sati is translated as mindfulness or bear attention or conscious attention the four foundations of mindfulness are mindfulness of bodies feelings minds and dharmas or phenomena practitioners were encouraged to meditate on these four at every stage of the path what the buddha said in the sutra is this dwell contemplating the body in the body in order to know the body as it really is dwell contemplating feelings in feelings in order to know feelings as they really are and the same with mind in mind and dharma in dharmas now when the buddha tells us to see the body in the body he's exhorting us to recognize that the body is a collection of parts that's impermanent ultimately unsatisfactory and selfless that's just the nature of the body as it really is also by investigating bodily sensations we can experience stress that's encoded biologically and physically working with the body in psychology in this way provides great insights into the feelings and implicit memories that people are holding and also focus on bodily sensations in themselves can be a gateway for awareness and insight mindfulness of feelings second the buddha tells us to be aware of the feelings in the feelings by learning to abide with our feelings rather than allowing ourselves to be swept away into these this dysfunctional patterns we can learn to unwind these connections formed in response to early stressors paying attention to the way each thought arises remains present and passes away we learn to stop reacting third the buddhist tells us to see the mind in the mind consciousness in buddhist thinking arises from moment to moment it arises on the basis of inflows from our senses and our internal mental states such as our memories our imaginings and feelings coming from implicit memories if we cling to a thought we proliferate into more and more complex thoughts and that only reinforces the implicit conditioning and makes it worse so paying attention to the way the thoughts arise we can stop that runaway train of one dissatisfactory thought leading to another into another and finally he tells us to practice mindfulness of dharma in dharmas or phenomena so the buddha might be saying here that the dharma that we contemplate is within us when the buddha sat beneath the bodhi tree it's written that he recalled all his past lives his psychological terms that means he had penetrating insight into past reactive patterns with which he had identified the identification turns each thought into a little self a thought pattern that's been preventing us from being here and now and also before awakening buddha overcame the temptations and the armies of the mythical god mara the psychological voices and impulses in our heads demanding our attention they're like forces of gravity pulling us back into their agenda and once the buddha had dealt successfully with all these conflicting agendas he had awakened in ifs therapy something called parts work gives attention to all these internal voices and the individual can learn to identify and address differences in and conflicts in the so-called agendas of these different parts and those can be responsible for gridlock in our emotional healing richard schwartz describes the goal of ifs therapy as i quote enabling the individual to resolve conflicts between parts so that the person can live life from its core self which is compassionate wise and confident a core self which is compassionate and wise that does sound a lot like what we buddhists call our essential nature so in conclusion you're probably familiar with the expression by now in buddhism that you don't need to believe everything you think and that's certainly good news we don't need to be mindlessly strung along by arising thoughts and mental programs instead if we approach our thoughts mindfully they can give us some very valuable information about ourselves that our minds cannot thank you [Music] you	One Mind Zen Collective	UCwEDAtJGV7xhdGv1nd26qkg	2021-10-28	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

costume and there were a bunch listed um it appeared to be unworn so i put new without tags because i wasn't sure and then i just disclosed that i wasn't sure if it was worn or not and i priced it low to move it because uh you know halloween costumes they're such a small window and if there's if it's a one that's still out you know ebay can be saturated and i felt like ebay was a little bit saturated with this one so i priced it low and i took a best offer of 10 and the buyer paid shipping and i was happy to see it go the next item i was at a garage sale and it was closing up and they just like handed me a bunch of stuff free and i'm like okay um i was hoping this was gonna have all the pieces it did not so i just listed it for replacement parts it still had the figures and i sold

just how societies work and how you can change them there are really two parts to this discussion first we talk about how societies work in general and then second we apply that discussion to why you can't just get rid of governance altogether so in this video we are going to look at a powerful way of thinking about societies and changing them the philosophy we'll talk about is called assemblage theory it's a little complex but that's why we'll use lots of pictures and cartoons [Laughter] [Music] so in the last episode we talked about why reform voting and demand making protests won't bring us the world that we need so okay if the state is such a problematic institution why not just dismantle it smash it or drown it in a bathtub well in this episode we'll talk about why it's not quite that simple and we will actually talk about how we have to replace power dynamics more than just eliminate them the main point here is that while a given state or government may come and go governance never goes away simply erasing a state from existence still leaves many structures and powerful actors in a society in place some of whom may have their hands on lots of resources weapons and desires for domination as we've seen in this world many of the campaigns to diminish the power of states have been made not by people seeking equality and liberation but by powerful corporations and individuals seeking even more unchecked power so if totally demolishing systems of governance isn't a really a practical goal what is it then that we should strive to do in the end i believe that the question we have to answer is what kinds of governance are we going to create and perform and will that governance create healthy societies and environments and be inclusive or will we keep accepting systems of governance that continually enrich a tiny group of elites at the expense of everyone else on earth so to explain why we have to replace the state instead of smashing it we have to take a couple of steps in this video first we have to talk about where things come from things like you me the places we live states and even ideas then we can talk about how this affects how we can and can't set up better forms of governance okay let's dive in so remember our discussion in episode 4 about structure versus agency where we talked about how there are structures around that limit our ability to make decisions like mr penguin's ability to get liquor on a sunday morning well i alluded in that episode to the idea that any decision or action we do is actually affected by a whole bunch of structures at once it isn't just one structure like the law or state power or the logic of capital that stops us from what we'd like to do or that stomps on our freedom instead actions are created in whole networks of pressures it isn't that our actions are determined by one kind of structure or another but are instead what we call over determined by a zillion things at once okay so in the case of mr penguin whether he buys whiskey or not is the result of how a host of factors come together we can say that mr penguin like all of us is surrounded by an assemblage so what's an assemblage well it's a constellation of things ideas people and forces that have effects on us so in the example of mr penguin getting liquor he is being influenced by the law the consequences of breaking it and his perception of the likelihood he'd get caught but also the economic pressure of whether he has the money to buy it he also is influenced by his own body state like does he crave it or is he feeling sick and repelled by it what about the effect it might have on his job what do his family and friends think about what he does does he care this one simple act is influenced by many threads and it is important to note that not all of these structures are restrictions some of them enable and help produce a decision a structure is therefore not just something which blocks or prohibits it is also something which produces something so because this assemblage of influences looks like the tangled webs of roots that grasses have some social scientists call these assemblages rhizomes grassroots rhizomes do not have essential taproot but instead are more like mats of fibers connected to multiple nodes some theorists then use this as a metaphor for how societies function as well as what explains social and individual behaviors for example some older theories take the taproot approach and believe there is one main root reason a society is the way it is whether it's the environment of that society some kind of a centralized view of its culture or capitalism or its religion or the state etc this all leads to all sorts of philosophical arguments then over which is the main factor that is the root of a society or a specific problem these theorists then may argue over which structure is the primary one and which one if changed will change the whole society this is actually where the meaning of the word radical comes from it means to address something at the root instead of just reforming a society in a minor way now in contrast to these different views that argue about what is at the root of a society folks who take the rhizome or assemblage approach stress that there is no one master structure that drives all the others instead these folks see societies and individuals within them as always complex tapestries woven together from multiple influences how deep does this theoretical perspective get well pretty deep it even goes on to say that it is not just actions or behaviors that are governed this way but things themselves what kinds of things well all of them our places our cultures our institutions our ideas and even ourselves let's dig into this for a second let's say we don't just want to know about whether mr penguin will buy whiskey or not but that we want to ask a more fundamental question what is mr penguin all right so the more taproot oriented ideologies might say that deep down he has an essence of what he really is then they might argue about just what that is one person might say he is primarily his genetic code another might say he has a divinely created penguin soul and that is the real him another person might say he is primarily the product of his upbringing in antarctica with a harsh climate a conservative rookery and doting parents some may say that he is essentially a good penguin or a bad penguin others would define him by his relationship to capitalism like is he a worker or an owner penguin and so on so from the assemblage perspective however this argument over mr penguin's essence is somewhat pointless and misses the big picture that big picture is that he is all of these things woven together in a particular way assemblage theory basically says we shouldn't think about things as being either this or that but instead we should use the logic of and and and and by this i mean that to fully understand what mr penguin is we would have to look at his genetics and his upbringing and his moral values and his relationships to economic processes and his family and and and think about this for yourself who are you are you basically one main thing influenced by other small things or are you both physically and mentally all sorts of things related together in a certain way things like your parents dna and your childhood joys and your traumas and the videos you watch and the foods you ate from your first bites as a toddler to last night's pizza and your hopes and fears and what your friends influence you to do and your gender and the way people categorize your ethnicity and and and who you really are both body and soul is a related mixture of things like a tapestry woven from a thousand different threads in a unique design that only you have so this may seem like an esoteric point but it is a critical and crucial fact to consider when we are thinking about how the world is actually constructed and how it functions this is because what is true for you as a person is also true for our neighborhoods our ethnic groups and our nations all of these things are hybrids when we go back to the beginning of any of these things what we find is a coming together of all sorts of other stuff that isn't that thing right nothing makes itself so the reality is is that any person thing or collective must arise from a coming together of other things what is at the beginning of the nationality american if not a collection of other things that were not american but instead english african irish spanish chinese indigenous etc what is at the beginning of the nationality of english if not the angles the saxons the britons etc in turn those identities are themselves hybrids of still earlier groupings it is also logical to assume that this process is still in effect someday the identity labels we currently have will themselves morph into still other things that we have not yet imagined so in short you are a tapestry your town is a tapestry elements of your identity are tapestries our economies are tapestries our ecologies are tapestries of both human and non-human elements and even our systems of governance are tapestries now some of the threads that make up these tapestries are ones we have chosen some have been forced upon us and in many cases we are not even fully conscious that they are there and we may have no idea just where they might have come from the world has long been a complex shifting constantly mixing hot mess so if the world is made of assemblages of different kinds why do some come to be and stick around and function for a while while others don't and why are some around for a short time and then disintegrates and disappear for instance if we think about states as assemblages we know that certain state apparatuses come and go at one time the roman state dominated huge areas of the mediterranean world and then it unraveled and it is now gone same is true for the incan empire the polish-lithuanian commonwealth the us confederacy and many other states in fact if you look at old maps of europe you probably don't recognize half the names of countries where do they all go well like all assemblages they were subject to forces and drives that held them together but also forces and differences that pulled them apart few assemblages last forever they are held together for some period of time and then centrifugal forces that make parts of it want to disconnect or combine with something else overcome the attractions holding it together however and this is the really important point the fact that an assemblage goes away does not mean the elements that make it up disappear those elements are still there they have just reorganized into other assemblages just like the etruscans may no longer exist but that's not because they all died the people just joined into other ethnic groupings just as governance in central europe didn't cease when the austro-hungarian empire ended the people in the area shifted the form of the state and created different assemblages of governance even when a state is completely smashed by an enemy a disaster a pandemic or whatever the pieces then reassemble again in a new way why well because the pieces like you for instance still want to reconnect because there are a lot of benefits for doing so political economic romantic and social even in a cataclysm other people are not going away and like you they want things and it is easier or going to be easier to get things when people are in a coordinated group you may think you'll run screaming into the hills yelling freedom but your chances of survival and happiness really do depend on making some kinds of links with other people how those connections are made and the character and form of those connections is what we need to think about forging in a thoughtful way so that's why you can't just simply smash the state you have to replace it and preferably before the existing state assemblage is destroyed we have to develop decision-making assemblages based not on what we oppose about the current system but based on the ethics and practices we do want like inclusion equality justice freedom and sustainability and we best construct those before the state is smashed or falls into crisis this is sometimes referred to as a dual power strategy where decision-making structures are built alongside the existing state and which seeks to take over decision-making authority and then diminish the power of the existing state the goal then is that even if the current state is corrupt and somewhat impervious to necessary change we shouldn't necessarily claim we can end governance once and for all instead our goal should be to produce an assemblage of governance that we actually want to participate in so going back to our discussions of structure and agency we could say that those of us who fight for inclusion justice freedom and sustainability should not seek to abolish structures we should want to build structures just ones that undo those systematic inequalities injustices and environmental destruction so the good news that we get from assemblage theory is that no particular social arrangement is either natural or inevitable they are all just products of putting elements together in a certain way elements like you me ideas resources places energy hopes fears and dreams this means that no arrangement of governance is permanent we absolutely can change and replace them in the next episode we'll get into examples of just how people are doing this today [Music] you	IitsuEdu	UCs0he3c6KPXjOYGxhS-3yLQ	2022-02-07	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	2,447	13,635

pizza pizza right here 16 inch extra large extra cheese with a two-liter 21. wonder if it tastes good it was decent um the pizza you like it yeah better than 7-eleven totally uh we're just uh hanging out here in the kid camp shelly and ally are about to pass out tanner wants to go do a little bit more things before it's time for him to go to bed [Laughter] so uh we're gonna head back out there and go check some more things out play with the magic wand a little bit more we forgot to pick up the ears so you go to customer or gift shop here and you get the wolfie ears and uh they're for the adults and kids uh we're just gonna give this one to ally that one to tanner go ahead otherwise we got to restart it if the magic wand doesn't work take it up take it off the topper and then put the topper back on and then it resets it me and chan are walking around uh flipping the uh magi wand there we got a wood fire grill here uh soup of the day is clam chowder that sounds good probably better than the pizza we had not thought the pizza was horrible but i don't know um what you got another one trying to open the door you can't open the door um but yeah there's a bunch of them in that hallway over here we just came down yeah so there's nothing down here though we're on our own quest by the way dance party starts in 15 minutes so nine o'clock do you want to do the dance party dance party don't mind me oh is it raining it is raining no man wow no that's the sprinklers ah i see the sprinkler out there i thought it was raining i was like wait a minute we just came from our room where it was dry do you like my wolfy ears i got it the dance party was like 10 minutes long they played baby shark they played a couple other songs it's already over it happened real quick um we're trying to figure out this magic quest game so you can see right here and we're trying to find one more crystal no two two more chris no no we just have to find one more see we already found this one right here in the hallway so we're gonna go get the book the book has the information in it and we'll figure it out from there so me and tanner have been playing the magi quest for about an hour now but everything's shut down yeah so like we just went to a couple of the screens and they're shutting down again just in time we did the crystals just yeah we tried the crystal one and it was oh we can't even get ice cream now buddy yeah it's 10 o'clock 11 o'clock is quiet time here um that's when all noise has to go away because they didn't have to use the register and they were just using his little ma paw pass they were able to get us in and get him a big old scoop of ice cream there he decided to get a cup instead of a cone um so i just talked to the lady at the counter and she said they changed their hours for everything due to the fact that everybody's back in school now so things aren't as open as late as they were prior to that that's something we didn't know we thought everything was eleven besides swimming we knew swimming ended at eight but um we're probably gonna call this it for the night because the magi quest isn't really working for us uh we're not no yeah tana look it's shut off now so over here is where you get your quests they are shut down now they're not on anymore nothing's like open yeah nothing's open except this ice cream all over his hand so that's just something if you guys need to know um yeah cool we had a good time at the pool today we had fun you swim a lot yeah we did a lot more than we ever done the water slides on the inner tubes oh my gosh

7xJTvJofwks	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xJTvJofwks	What Makes Certain Types of People More Attractive Than Others?	hi there lovers and friends so a number of years ago I did a video that was called classic versus exotic beauty that got a lot of attention and equal amounts of hate probably for good reason she just turned the corner and that was my turn let's see what kind of comments we get okay I guess I'm a wild cat in summary in that video I wanted to create a correlation between who was attractive and who is marketed the most in society but unfortunately the way that I chose to do it the the message got lost in the medium so I thought I would just try again this video sponsored by Squarespace with Squarespace you get to control and customize your content to fit your brand

discussion jump off because it truly encapsulate what I want to talk about in this video so in the comments section below let me know if you were a primary caregiver to a young child like that who made that comment that I am ugly what would you say in that moment and what would you do going forward when we think of attraction we think of something that occurs between two people well we are neglecting to understand is that attraction is not just between two it is between thousands of people it is between this person this person all of their influences including media family religion friends and this person and all of their influences the same goes for that and so when you're entering into a connection with somebody you're never really truly alone and that speaks to the fact that we are so show animals a lot of different animals or species out there are driven so heavily by biological influences and there's not a lot of nurture going on humans the nature versus nurture debate exists because we are so heavily influenced by both so usually when people talk about attraction they talk about nature they talk about things like hip to waist ratio and facial symmetry and healthiness and while all of those things do play a large role in who we see is attractive there's a whole other host of things that have nothing to do with nature that are more nurture that over time we have come to see certain attributes as attractive based on nothing more than exposure so once you're open to accepting the fact that attraction probably has a lot more to do with nurture than nature you can also digest how beauty truly is a privilege and not a privilege that you are born with kind of like height but instead a privilege as some people are born into depending on the given times that they're on this planet and the beauty standards that are being circulated this is why we have to accept that the personal is highly political when we think about personal preferences we're often thinking to ourselves that it is organic it is natural it is fireworks it is something that cannot be controlled or altered I have seen multiple people on Twitter trying to defend why they're attracted to only certain body types or only certain colors and usually their argument is I just like what I like and I can't help that but the truth is you could happen a lot more than you think because a lot of our personal attractions if we're honest are not just organically spawned but instead they are connected to a broader political system that ranks people based on race on body size on body abilities on color etc and these social norms that dictate which kinds of people or what kinds of bodies are worthy of feeling loved and given positive attention have a really negative effect for anybody who is not a part of this referential group can we pause for a little second from talking about creating a world in which you are beautiful to discuss creating a world where your dreams come true and Squarespace wants to empower you to make your next big idea beautiful tangible and for the world to see Squarespace is a tool that I have been using for the past two years it has massively helped my business and during this time of social isolation I want you to start to think about how you can reinvent yourself to be clearer bigger brighter and more visible and I want to give one person one year of Squarespace watch this video it will tell you how to sign up for a free trial and once you do your free trial email me screenshots of your Squarespace account and I'm gonna pick one person on who I can pay for their year for them look I know building a website can be daunting but Squarespace makes it so easy even for me who doesn't know how to code I find Squarespace very user friendly I mean if you're a fan of this channel you probably heard us brag about Squarespace because we literally use that for every website we build but let me tell you some things that you may not know about blogging tools Squarespace has powerful blogging tools to help tell your story I mean look look you could schedule your post and have your content work for you not the other way around social media integrations so anything that you post on your Twitter on your Facebook on your Instagram whatever you use can be posted onto your website and you can make social links so that they can go from your website straight to go and follow you subscriptions easily sell subscriptions to products or services on a weekly or monthly basis to generate reoccurring revenue and build customer loyalty look if you're still listening to this voice all I'm saying is short is go check it out build a website for free have fun and when you're ready to launch go to Squarespace com /am bootie to get 10% off your first purchase of a website or a domain so how does one become a part of this preferential group of attractiveness there's a couple of principles to help explain this number one is the mere-exposure effect similarity attraction effect sexual imprinting and average always wins so we'll start off with a mere exposure effect and that basically states that the more you're exposed to something the more that you're going to this can work obviously in a one-to-one effect you ever meet somebody and at first you don't really rock with them but over time you begin to look at them as attractive and you begin to really find their jokes funny etc this again goes the mere-exposure effect and this can work in a very different way you know when you meet somebody and you're like I don't know why but I feel like I've known you my entire life what you're really saying is I dunno why it's because I have exposed myself to people who fit your archetype for my entire life I have watched porns TV shows I've played video games I've looked at magazines where somebody who resembles you shows up consistently and thus when I'm around you I have this beautiful overwhelming sense of familiarity that makes me feel very drawn to you and thus very connected and attracted to you the similarity attraction effects means that we find it more comforting to be around those who we are already familiar with now we can see how this works in terms of people being attracted to those who are from the same ethnic group ISM your family probably looks like them sounds like them smells like them and thus it feels most natural to create a pair bond with that person but you can also see how the similarity attraction effect works when it comes to societies that have a dominant group so in one like America where white is the dominant group majority of people if they're not going to pair bond with their own race are probably going to choose white as their preferred option I also want to talk about sexual imprinting and that is a theory that states that a lot of our ideals around who we should be sexually attracted to is determined at a very young age by our parents influence or influences that we had as a child it's really important to examine these because through things you've heard it from your parents about attraction and beauty comments they used to make even about you be that about body size or ableism or staying on the side not to get too dark etc how those things have later impacted you in your adult life there is one more fact that I want to bring up to give you further reflection on this topic and it comes with a question do you believe in soulmates now before you go any further answer the comment section below if you said yes then you are part of too of Americans who believe in soulmates you are also possibly part of the problem because the issue with thinking of life in terms of soulmates that means you think that there is one person out there who is worthy of all of your love and again if we acknowledge that our love is political that our personal preference is political that means that we are reserving treatment of the one for somebody who looks like the archetype of the one who looks like the Disney Princess or Disney Prince and everybody else we're looking at like a stepping stone to the real thing this prevents us from creating real meaningful relationships with truly incredible people because we are all worthy of love at the very base of it and it also promotes this idea that love is only reserved for certain kinds of people that is it that is essentially what I tried to communicate in the other video and hopefully I did a better job this time around and if I didn't that's what the comments section is for but above all else I pray that you found this video inspiring and not defeating and inspiring because it is actionable changing the beauty standard to make yourself the focal point of it genuinely is actionable and if you do not believe me I want you to go back to that first question I asked at the top of the video and reflect on your answers you probably had really concrete clear advice that you would give to a young child so take that and copy and paste it for yourself and in addition here are some tips that I would give to you first and foremost you have to create a world in which you are celebrated as beautiful and I say you not as an individual but you as an archetype if for example you are disabled and you are in a wheelchair I think it's massively important to start watching movies watching videos watching other youtubers changing your Social Feeds especially during this time of social isolation where you get to really control the world that you're being exposed to why not create a world where you are a star where you are a leading person and also get inspired by other people who have risen above the beauty standard to create a world again where they are a part of that group who is worthy of attention desire praise etc number to do this while masturbating I do this for myself I masturbate in front of a mirror and I choose a body part of mine that I find really erotic like my breasts right now I'm really like they're just they're having you know you go through moments with your boobs they're having a great moment right now so that is this part of me that I focus on studies actually show that people who don't see themselves as attractive are less likely to engage in sex because they view sex as something that attractive people are supposed to partake in and they yuck themselves out of it so you have to first look at you as sexual and as worthy of sexual attention and again I think that can truly start with masturbation and mirror it can also be a facial feature of yours it can be your hair whatever it is but really creating a sexual attraction I think to yourself is a really big part of the puzzle number three I would say start to really have conversations with people about this and look I am saying all this while also understanding that may not be part of your solution again like I said it's changing your stimulus and inviting more people into your world that reinforce you as sexy as attractive and is worthy of love so I'm going to list a bunch of other sex educators that I know of that fit a broader spectrum when it comes to looks and if you have any that I missed please also write them in the comment section below [Music]	Shan BOODY	UCR1aFO8kPS2WgdOfvU0zpag	2020-03-29	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

released by sony computer entertainment it is the successor to the playstation portable as part of the playstation brand of gaming devices it was released in japan on december 17 2011 with releases in north america europe and other worldwide regions starting on february 22nd 2012. it primarily competes with the nintendo 3ds as part of the 8th generation of video game consoles the original model of the handheld includes a 5-inch 130 millimeters oled multi-touch capacitive touchscreen 2 analog joysticks front and shoulder push button input and supports bluetooth wi-fi and optional 3g internally the vita features a quad-core arm cortex a9mp core processor and a quad-core sgx543 mp graphics processing unit a revised model the ps vita 2000 series released across 2013 and 2014 sports all of the same features with a slightly smaller size extended battery life and an lcd screen replacing the oled display sony also released the playstation tv a short-lived repurposed version of the vita that allowed for the play of ps vita games on a television screen similar to a home video game console though the pstv variant was discontinued by the end of 2015. the system s design was created to meld the experience of big-budget dedicated video game platforms with the then up and coming trend of mobile gaming through smartphones and tablets however in the year after the device s successful launch sales of the hardware and its bigger budget games stalled threatening to end its lifespan a concentrated effort to attract smaller indie developers in the west combined with strong support from mid-level japanese companies helped keep the platform afloat while this led to less diversity in its game library it did garner strong support in japanese-developed role-playing video games and visual novels alongside a wealth of western developed indie games leading it to become a moderate seller in japan and build a smaller yet passionate user base in the west while sony has not released exact sales figures late lifespan estimates in sales fall around 15 to 16 million units in the platform s later years sony also promoted its ability to work in conjunction with its other gaming products notably the ability to play playstation 4 games on it through the process of remote play similar to the wii u s function of off-tv play production of the system and its physical cartridge games are scheduled to end in 2019 topic history topic background topic after the massive success of nintendo s game boy line of handheld game consoles throughout the 1990s and early 2000 with little in the way of market competition and sony s massive success with its playstation and playstation 2 home video game consoles around the same time sony decided to enter the handheld market as well in 2004 it released the playstation portable psp to compete with the nintendo ds as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles after a slow start in the worldwide market it was invigorated in japan with multiple releases in the monster hunter series with the series being less popular in western regions it failed to revive the platform in the same way the psp ended up being a mixed result for the company it was seen as a success in that it was the only handheld video game platform that had ever significantly competed with nintendo for market share in a meaningful way selling almost 80 million units in its lifespan roughly the same amount as nintendo's gameboy advance had during the sixth generation of video game consoles despite this it had still only managed to sell a little over half of what its actual market competitor the ds had sold which was over 150 million units by the end of 2011. rumors of a successor to the psp came as early as july 2009 when eurogamer reported that sony was working on such a device which would utilize the powervr sgx543 mp processor and perform at a level similar to the original xbox through mid-2010 websites continued to run stories about accounts of the existence of a psp-2 reports arose during the tokyo game show that the device was unveiled internally during a private meeting during mid-september held at sony computer entertainment s headquarters in oyama tokyo shortly after reports of development kits for the handheld had reportedly already been shipped to numerous video game developers including both first party and third-party developers to start making games for the device a report later confirmed by mortal combat executive producer sean himmerick by november senior vice president of electronic arts patrick soderland confirmed that he had seen that the playstation portable successor existed but could not confirm details in the same month vg 247 released pictures of an early prototype version showing a psp-go-like slide screen design along with two analog sticks two cameras and a microphone though the report mentioned that overheating issues had since caused them to move away from the design in favor of a model more similar to the original playstation portable device throughout 2010 sony would not confirm these reports of a psp successor but would make comments regarding making future hardware shuhei yoshida president of sony computer entertainment worldwide studios revealed that his studio despite usually being more involved with software had a continued role in future hardware development at the time in december sony computer entertainment ceo kazuo hurai stated that sony aimed to appeal to a wide demographic of people by using multiple input methods on future hardware buttons and joysticks for traditional handheld game system users and touchscreens for smartphone users the device was officially announced by sony on january 27 2011 at their playstation meeting press conference held by the company in japan the system only known by its code name next generation portable was announced to be a handheld gaming device that aimed for playstation 3 quality visuals which was later clarified to not be taken at a literal level because according to david coombs platform research manager at sony computer entertainment america well it s not going to run at 2 gigahertz like the ps3 because the battery would last 5 minutes and it would probably set fire to your pants quote dot its power was later described by sony engineers is about halfway between the psp and ps3 as rumors had suggested the device was designed to present the best of both worlds between mobile and handheld gaming including a 5-inch oled touchscreen a rear touchpad coupled with physical buttons and dual analog sticks sony also revealed that the device would be using a mix of retail and digital distribution of games further details were announced at game developers conference 2011 including that sony would be dropping the psp's umd disc format in favor of small game cartridges of 2 gigabytes or 4 gigabytes size variants along with two cameras facial detection head detection and tracking capabilities launch in early years on june 6 2011 at e3 2011 sony announced that the device's official name would be the playstation vita with the word vida being latin for life despite reports of the 2011 earthquakes in japan delaying the release of the device sony reconfirmed that it was on track for a late 2011 release in japan and a february 2012 release date for other major regions of the world the release date was later narrowed down to a december 17 2011 release in japan and of february 22nd 2012 release date for america and europe although a limited edition was released a week earlier in north america on february 15 2012 which included the 3g wi-fi model of the device the game little deviants a limited edition carry case and a 4 gigabytes memory card the vita launched with 26 titles in japan with sony announcing that there were over 100 titles in development prior to the system's release overall the vita launched in the west with 25 titles including original titles such as uncharted golden abyss and wipeout 2048 and ports of games such as fifa 12 and raymond origins the sales of the vita started strong at launch but then stalled and greatly underperformed the vita had a strong launch in japan selling over 300 000 units in its first week of availability though figures shortly afterwards shrunk down 78 to under 73 000 sold in its second week and then settled into about 12 000 sold per week in the following weeks similarly in the united states the system debuted with 200 000 units sold in the first month before slinking down into an amount of about 50 000 a month 1.2 million units were reported as sold as of february 26 2012 after it had launched in most regions the system continued to get high-profile games over the course of 2012 including gravity rush littlebigplanet ps vita sonic and all-stars racing transformed persona 4 golden assassin's creed iii liberation and call of duty black ops declassified despite this the system still only managed to sell 4 million units worldwide in its first 10 months on the market and estimated by analysts to only be at 6 million units sold after two years of availability after 2012 sony ceased releasing direct sales figures of the vita instead opting to release combined sales figures with it and the psp still the system underperformed while sony projected selling 16 million units of combined vita and psp systems it had to slash its forecast twice in the same year down to 12 and then 10 million units sold with higher profile games not pushing the system sales enough in 2012 big third-party companies like ubisoft and activision started reducing or eliminating support for the system especially in the west additionally while the monster hunter series had significantly boosted the sales of the psp its absence instead hurt the vita its developer capcom had decided to release monster hunter tri and future monster hunter games exclusively on the nintendo 3ds where it would sell millions of copies for sony's main competitor with support diminishing shaheed ahmad sony's director of strategic content instead began a new approach to software through directly reaching out to and making accommodations for smaller independent developers who were previously released games for mobile and pc platforms while not completely reversing the sales trends of the vita the lower costs of making or porting smaller budget games made it easier for developers to make a profit on the systems's smaller user base and in turn increased consumer attention on the console keeping the device afloat fez spelunky hotline miami and aliali all found success with releases on vita ahmad also maintained interest in the device by directly interacting with consumers on social media the game tales of hearts r was localized into english only because it was number one in a survey of games desired on the platform sony continued to support the system with games through 2013 as well albeit less or so with titles such as killzone mercenary and tearaway along with a handful of other western developed ports such as fifa 13 and raymond legends while the focus on indie games kept the device afloat in the west in japan no such measures were necessary as the vita maintained moderate hardware sales while it was routinely outsold by its main competitor the nintendo 3ds the vita still managed to be one of the top consoles sold overall partially due to japan's preference towards handheld gaming strong support by japanese developers also helped with companies such as bandai namco falcom koei tecmo 5pb compile heart spike chunsoft and atlas releasing many games in the jrpg and visual novels genre to help kept a steady flow of mid-level releases coming to the system additionally big games such as final fantasy x x 2 hd remaster sold well and roughly in line with their home console counterparts the heavier support from japan in turn also helped support the system in the west as well with many games in the atelier wise denganronpa persona and the legend of heroes series localized into english on the vita or made playable through the system's backward compatibility with digital psp games while the system managed to stay afloat as a minor success other issues continued to persist including the high price of the system in comparison to its main competitor the nintendo 3ds and its sibling device the ps3 the high price of its memory cards used for game and data storage and the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets in august 2013 sony addressed the first two dropping the price to 199 dollars in north america and 199 euros in europe and cutting the suggested retail price of the memory cards as well the price cut also coincided with the release of a slight redesign of the system the ps vita 2000 model the redesign included making the system 20 thinner and 15 lighter while adding 1 gigabyte of internal storage and an extra hour of battery life however the redesign did remove the oled screen in favor of a cheaper lcd screen topic shifting focustopic towards the end of 2013 around the launch of sony's next video game device the home video game console the playstation 4 sony began making comments in regards to the change in focus with the vita yoshida stated that sony would be releasing fewer first-party games for the platform sony computer entertainment's product planning and platform software innovation director don mesa stated that the economics simply don't work with the traditional process sony addressed the economics of vita game development issue with beginning on focusing on the fact that almost all playstation 4 games could be streamed and played through evita through remote play sony attempted to attach the device to the ps4 due to its extreme popularity it took only a few weeks for the sales to surpass the sales of the vita over the course of almost two years in july 2014 yoshida stated that the company would focus on it less as a dedicated handheld video game console and more on its combination of uses stating it's not about individual vita games anymore it's more about how vita can have multiple uses with ps4 remote play ps3 games with ps now and the dedicated games the whole ecosystem with ps4 at the center the vita's a part of that sony later announced that the vita will have playstation vr integration in the form of a second screen as well open beta trials for playstation now functionality on the ps vita began on october 14 2014 in north america the playstation tv released across late 2013 and 2014 also aimed to expand the system's user base by allowing for vita games to be played on a television like a home console though the device was discontinued in the west by the end of 2015 and did not fare well in japan's handheld-focused region either in november 2014 scea president sean layton suggested that the new approach was working on hardware level stating that vita sales had increased since the implementation of ps4 remote play though he and another sony representative did not give specific figures sony continued to make games for the device though in smaller number than in past the last major sony developed title freedom wars still found success selling over 188 000 copies in its first week of release in japan the debut was the highest sony game debut for the system and the second highest only to namco bandai's late 2013 release of god eater 2 on the platform in september 2015 yoshida stated that sony had no current plans for a vita successor stating that climate is not healthy for now because of the huge dominance of mobile gaming quote at e3 2015 he had stated that sony would not be making any more aaa big budget games to the system but by october the comment had been revised that sony would not be making any more games for it at all reasons cited included the company focusing on supporting the ps4 and the fact that it felt that third-party japanese developers and western indie developers were sufficiently supporting the device in march 2016 sony announced that instead it would be forming a new company forward works and be instead concentrating on bringing playstation-based games to mobile platforms like ios and android despite sony s focus on the ps4 and mobile for the future the vita still continues to receive substantial third-party company game support in the way of japanese-style role-playing games and visual novels and western-style indie video games minecraft in particular was successful for the platform with it selling over 1.2 million physical copies in japan alone as of september 2017. the device is considered to have sold fairly well in japan and still a crucial part of sony s overall strategy in the region while sony has acknowledged that the device still has a very vocal and passionate user base in the west as well with the company still encouraging third-party companies to create games for the device at the 2016 game developers conference research analyst firm eedar estimated the sales of the vita to be about a 10 million unit sold through the end of 2015. multi-platform releases with the ps4 have also incidentally helped sustain the vita s stream of software even in the west through 2016 and 2017 games receive a vita version more to appeal to japan s larger vita user base and receive a ps4 version more to appeal to north america s larger user base the march 2017 launch of the nintendo switch which operates on a similar concept of providing high-budget video games on a portable unit further overshadowed the vita though niche support through indie games and jrpgs continued into the year in mid-2017 glixel estimated the vita user base to be around 15 million on september 20 2018 sony announced at tokyo game show 2018 that the vita will be discontinued in 2019 ending its hardware production worldwide production of new physical vita games will cease by the end of sony 2018 fiscal year which ends on march 31 2019. at the time of the announcement u.s gamer estimated that the vita user base had grown to approximately 16 million units topic hardware topic in line with sony's ambition to combine aspects of traditional video game consoles with mobile devices like smartphones and tablets the vita contains a multitude of input methods the device features a super oval shape similar to the design of the original playstation portable with a 5-inch 130 millimeters qhd oled capacitive touchscreen in the center of the device the device features two analog sticks a d pad a set of standard playstation face buttons and two shoulder buttons l and r a playstation button and start and select buttons motion control is also possible through sony six-axis motion sensing system consisting of a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer in addition to these input methods specific to just the vita is a secondary touchpad that is on the back of the device other hardware includes stereo speakers a microphone built-in wi-fi and bluetooth 2.1 plus edr connectivity and two cameras the cameras are both 0.3 megapixel and run at 640 x 480 vga at 60 frames s or at 320 x 240 at 120 frames s they can be used to take photos or videos using built-in applications on the system the two cameras feature the abilities of face detection head detection and head tracking the platform also launched with a model with 3g mobile data support which required a separate data plan through a data provider the 3g service has been partnered with ntt docomo in japan a t and t in the u.s rogers in canada and vodafone in europe and australia the 3g model was discontinued in 2013 and not made available in the system's future revised models internally the device features a custom system-on-chip with a quad-core arm cortex a9mp core processor and a quad-core gpu sgx543 mp4 plus sony has stated that the vita generally runs well under its full clock speed due to overheating and battery consumption issues that would ensue instead placing its processing power around halfway between the current psp and the ps3 the vita's internal battery has between three to five hours of power for game playing depending on the processing power required for the game screen brightness sound level and network connections as well as other factors additionally the battery can supply about five hours for video watching and up to nine hours of music listening with the screen off the system does allow for additional external battery solutions as well the playstation vita has 512 megabytes of system ram and 128 megabytes of vram the amount of ram allows cross game chat to be used on the system software for the playstation vita is distributed on a proprietary flash memory card called playstation vita game card rather than on universal media disks umds as used by the playstation portable the size and shape of the card itself is very similar to an sd card 5 to 10 percent of the game card's space is reserved for game saved data and patches the ps vita is incompatible with standard memory cards such as sd cards and instead stores data on proprietary ps vita memory cards which are available in sizes of 4 gigabytes 8 gigabytes 16 gigabytes 32 gigabytes and 64 gigabytes a maximum of 500 applications and games can be stored on the device at a time regardless of data storage available when the limit is reached applications or games must be moved or deleted in order to access those beyond the limit topic remote play interactivity with playstation 4 topic all games developed for the playstation 4 with the exception of games requiring the use of special peripherals such as playstation camera are playable on the vita through remote play with the use of evita ps4 and ps4 game this allows a ps4 game to be run on the ps4 but its output transmitted to the vita with the vita being used for the controller input and the image and sound being transmitted to the vita s screen and speakers instead of a television the end result is similar to what a wii u console does with its gamepad controller through off-tv play the vita technically has remote play functionality with the playstation 3 as well though very few ps3 games supported the feature due to limitations with the less powerful ps3 hardware more ps3 games are available for streaming on the vita through sony s cloud gaming service playstation now though they are streamed over the internet in the form of cloud computing rather than directly from a physical ps3 console first implemented in 2014 the service was announced to be discontinued on the vita on august 15 2017 revised model topic a revised model of the vita was released in japan on october 10 2013 in europe on february 7 2014 and in north america on may 6 2014. the revised model officially called the pch-2000 series and commonly referred to as the ps vita slim is 20 thinner and 15 percent lighter compared to the original model while it largely maintains the original s overall structure and layout the original soled screen has been replaced with a lower cost lcd display the model also roughly added about an extra hour of battery life the newer model also comes with one gigabyte of internal storage memory although it is not possible to use both the internal memory and memory card concurrently upon inserting a ps vita memory card the system will offer to copy the existing data from the internal memory to the new card this model has a micro usb type b port which can be used to charge the device along with any standard micro usb cable the model was released in six colors in japan white black light blue lime green pink and khaki although it was only released in black and light blue in north america and europe topic playstation tv the playstation tv is a non-portable variant of the vita instead of featuring its own display screen like a handheld video game console it connects to a television via hdmi like a traditional home video game console and is controlled though the use of a dualshock 3 or dualshock 4 controller due to the difference in controller input between the vita and a dualshock controller vita games that are dependent on the system's touchscreen rear touchpad microphone or camera are not compatible it also shares the remote play and ps now functionality of a regular vita the system was released in japan in november 2013 in north america in october 2014 and in europe on november 14 2014 the device did not fare well and had a short retail shelf life in north america and europe where it was discontinued at the end of 2015 software topic game library physical software for the vita is distributed on a proprietary flash memory card called playstation vita game card all vita games are also made available to be downloaded digitally on the playstation network via the playstation store although not all games are released physically since its launch digital-only releases have slowly become more prominent partially in an effort to reduce production costs for release on the platform's comparatively smaller user base and partially due to the influx smaller scale indie mobile phone games that have always been digital only releases like the ps3 and ps4 the vita contains trophy support for games the system was designed so that it would be easy for developers to extract ps3 game assets and in turn use them to make vita versions of games prior to the vita s release several third-party studios showcased tech demos of the device by exporting existing assets from their playstation 3 counterpart and then rendering them on the device high budget examples including metal gear solid 4 guns of the patriots yakuza 4 and lost planet while none of these particular high-budget tech demos materialized into actual game releases and few big-budget western games would be made for both outside of playstation all-stars battle royale many japanese development teams would go on to develop mid-level games that would release for both platforms including falcom s trails of cold steel duology compile hearts original hyperdimension neptunia trilogy and many entries from tecmo koei s atelier and dynasty warriors series the trend continued on the ps4 as well with vita ps4 releases becoming common due to the spread of their user bases vita versions for japan where the vita was larger in its initial years and ps4 versions of games for north america and europe where the ps4 user base was substantially larger few playstation 2 titles were ported to the vita due to the ps2's complicated infrastructure games that did such as final fantasy x x2 remaster and persona 4 golden required extensive reworking or were based on their ps3 counterparts such as jack and daxter collection ratchet and clank collection and sly cooper collection backward compatibility the device is backward compatible with most psp games however its lack of a umd disk drive limits this capability to those titles which have been digitally released on the playstation network via the playstation store but not physical psp games or films the vita is also backward compatible with the majority of the ps1 classics the group of playstation 1 games sony has made available digitally for download and playstation minis small budget downloadable titles originally created for the psp and ps3 games from sony's playstation mobile initiative had initially been compatible but were removed when the service was shut down in september 2015. in japan select downloadable pc engine and pocket station titles became backward compatible as well topic applications a number of applications are available to run on the vita some initially pre-loaded on the device while others are available via sony s playstation store pre-loaded apps include an internet browser a content manager app for monitoring data saved to the device an email app a music playing app a photo app and a video playing app the system s web browser supports html5 cookies and javascript but not adobe flash also included was nier a social media gps-like app that allowed the user to see other vita players in the area and what games or applications they had been using with the opportunity for some limited interactivity and communication although most of its functionality was disabled in 2015 a number of other third-party apps commonly found on mobile devices have also been made available on the vita including google maps removed in 2015 youtube removed in 2015 facebook removed in 2015 skype removed in 2016 netflix hulu plus redbox instant and flickr while the google maps and youtube apps have been removed the websites are still accessible and usable through the internet browser system software topic unlike the psp and playstation 3 the playstation vita does not use the cross media bar interface instead it uses a touchscreen-based ui dubbed liverea which includes various social networking features via the playstation network each game or application is represented by its own circle icon and selecting it leads the user to a panel with multiple options present including running software itself going to its respective website through the internet seeing if there are downloadable updates available for the software and seeing a newsfeed-like list of activities related to it such as installing it or obtaining trophies for both the user and others the user has interacted with recently reception and sales topic according to review aggregator metacritic the vita s original hardware release was generally well received with critics although a few concerns persisted as well metacritic editor jason dietz noted that reviewers tended to praise the vita s actual hardware design and operating system but expressed some concern on its practicality namely competing in 2012 onward with a large size and price where mobile phones with large screens and cheap games were prevalent as an alternative as of its initial western launch in february 2012 out of 44 professional critic reviews nine fell in the great rating 29 in the good rating six in the mixed rating and 0 in the bad or awful rating its initial launch sales were generally seen as positive selling over 300 000 units in japan and 200 000 units in north america however a large drop-off occurred in both regions in japan second week sales dropped 78 and leveled off at selling about 12 000 units per week similarly sales dropped off to about 30 000 to 50 000 units sold per month for the year after launch in north america overall sony fell far short of the worldwide sales targets of 10 million vitas sold by the end of march 2013. the device sold 1.2 million units as of the end of february 2012. 4 million by the end of 2012 and were only estimated by analysts to have reached 6 million by the end of 2013 figures that have not been confirmed due to sony s ceasing to release veda sales figures after hitting the 4 million mark at the end of 2012. views on the hardware dropped to more moderate levels in 2013 after the platform s initial sales lulls surveys in japan showed that consumers were not purchasing the device due to its high retail price and perceived lack of software variety and that current vita owners only showed a 46 rate of approval for the device and its software library similarly many western critics felt that the low sales through 2013 would lead to an early death for the product from 2013 onward sony was able to reverse the trajectory of the system by changing focus aiming to be more of a niche product than one with mass-market appeal focusing more on small western mobile phone games and mid-level japanese-developed games and attaching it to the rise of popularity of its playstation 4 platform with its remote play connectivity functions sony also released the vita model revision the pc pch-2000 which was generally well-received by critics as well for addressing a number prior complaints about the system which included a price and size reduction however reviewers felt more mixed on the decision to change from oled to lcd screen in the revised model with some feeling it led to a minor downgrade in image quality while not giving specific figures sony stated that vita sales beat projections in north america in 2014 which it was happy and surprised with sometimes even falling out of stock similar response was found in the uk as well the platform has been considered to have sold well in japan where it outsold the ps4 in 2015 and reached 5 million units sold in 2016 according to sales tracker media create it also obtained million selling software in the same year with the japanese vita release of minecraft by the end of 2015 research firm eedar estimated the sales of the vita worldwide to be around 10 million despite the smaller user base the platform continues to be viable for game release into 2017 due to the high attach rate of software sold per hardware user limited run games and various indie game developers praised the platform for its wide selection of more original and niche video games and the strong respective sales of them in mid-2017 glixel estimated that approximately 15 million units of the system had been sold while by september 2018 u.s gamer estimated it had grown to about 16 million units notes references external links topic official website

(+ My Suggestions & FW22 Review)	this is closely of high beast um obviously um as you guys are aware i think i think the hype no the offline show was today um sans obviously um virgil being around due to his passing and it looks like offer i have outlined what their plans are in terms of how they're going to approach the brand and how they're going to approach collections and whatnot going forward you know with um virgilable not being around at the moment and this is as follows in a report perk had purchased in a report by the business of fashion off-white and its parent groups have outlined the future of the label founded by the late virgilabler making the future as a next chap mark in the future is the next chapter of off-white the outline share how the influential imprint nc harnessed a legacy following the death of the icon last november is november man time has gone by so fast in it really like you blink and it's like it's already march we're heading into april crazy in it man alright peter the goat um the report highlights the unstoppable creativity of virgil abloh as his label will carry out his endless number of ideas that he left in a whatsapp conversation over the years which is really cool the whatsapp group conversation thing which even after me at the time that i was working with him with that online course that i was doing i remember a lot of people on the management team were really annoyed that he wouldn't really get on the phone or do a skype or do face-to-face meetings because even then he wasn't as famous as flipping you know he didn't he wasn't even in charge of louis vuitton men's at the time um but he was still doing a million things at once you know running around 100 miles per hour all over the world and obviously the best way to communicate with him to get a response was for your whatsapp that's when they first started to do the whatsapp thing and really kind of get into it and a lot of the management team are really getting annoyed by it likewise you just communicate normally like email and you know zoom slack whatever it may be but now that same thing that was kind of and i'd imagine people in the industry some people probably would have said behind the scenes or behind closed doors or he's not really a serious guy he's sending messages and [ __ ] sketching on stuff on his phone i mean i'm sure because people you know have these weird and preconceptions whatnot but now that same sort of way of working has now got to the point where they're harnessing it because there's so many so much flipping gold and gems and jewels and information and ideas in there that could essentially feed a couple of collections going forward which is crazy because of why it isn't some you know this is it isn't some small collection isn't some small brand this is a brand that usually sells or makes a lot of clothes right not a lot of it's all great amazing don't get me wrong but they make a lot of clothes especially in a fashion show there's always like 50 plus looks so the fact that he's got that much content that much that many design it's that many ideas you know just sitting in a dormant face whatsapp group is amazing really amazing and shows just how much of a beast he was and it's just definitely shows me the kind of similarities of course with somebody prolific like an artist that who i love who's my favorite kind of contemporary artist of all time or your contemporaries tonight it's all around in picasso right and he was known for his kind of aggressive and over your crazy work ethic in terms of the amount of stuff he was able to sketch paint and put together sculpt whatever it may be he left an absolute treasure trove of all right people are still finding pieces here and there all over the place that he kind of left and scattered around the world to a certain extent you know salvador dali the seventh thing but you know prolific you know picasso was at that peak and of course virgil now he's past you people no one can really dispute the fact that you know say what you want about his finesse and his precision and the quality of his work whatever it may be but in terms of positioning he's able to put himself is he did it through just pure force of nature because he just was aggressive with the with the uploads aggressive with the sharing aggressive with the content generation with the idea generation with the execution that's the main part as well he actually didn't just put stuff on line sheets it was actually made real right it was actually tested in real time um put in front of people wherever they laughed the scoff at it like it's pretty sick man really really sick it continues here says andre grilli who served as off-whites um chief executive officer back since um back since to where they write like that since 2019 noted the next two years we're going to be full speed before being poured into the brand for its decades let's do it again for the next two years we are going we're going to go full speed the fuel being poured into the brand is for decades for centuries wow virgil would have wanted us to do it he always said that he has to be a multi-generational brand our kids need to go to rodeo drive and rusen hornell i guess it's a really bougie street in paris and see it which i agree with i think that's what he did really well in terms of being able to you know appeal to the high and low um it didn't always work but i felt that approach especially for a newer brand he didn't always try and market to the fashion elites or the snobs or the people in the know he tried to go for regular consumers who just might pop into selfridges and see something they like and want a cop and for people that are going to try and seek you out in a boutique somewhere which is great it continues touching on the succession of off-white the label is expected to adopt a collective while remaining open to the other routes to adapt to ever-changing landscaper fashion um since there's going to be a group of people and the movement collective said david d julio a co-founder of new guys group the parent company of white yeah i think i think about linux open source you can inject something new and so and software pattern evolves the new guys group um they french to you know what i i'm sure this is something virgil said because it sounds very virtually right to talk about linux and open source and all that stuff but i have to be honest i don't like this i think you have to decide either it's a collective and you do as a collective or you do it under one person's vision i think personally they should decide who it needs to be and have it just be that one person and maybe have it be like a so like what diesel was doing for a bit was it diesel who did this someone was doing something for a bit where like they had a designer coming like a guest designer and then they kind of you know they let them do it for a couple of years and someone else comes in do that maybe do it for four years you have somebody come in for a four year run they kind of and again it would be a great way to also give people an opportunity who maybe would never get a shot at being like the artistic director of a big flipping fashion brand that shows during paris fashion week that is backed by a major production company or whatever in terms of new guards group and whatnot right and has you know many stores around the world why not just go and used um what's that fund that he has i forgot the fund that he has where he's kind of mentoring and giving money to um kids from underrepresented communities and whatnot or black and brown kids right maybe have that maybe have that be like a funnel a kind of where you can kind of bring people in to off-white and then maybe you can use those people to be like the main heads of leading that creative charge for a four year run and then you basically change it every four years and you announce it's a big thing and it kind of becomes like a a weird school to kind of go through like your testing grounds you get to kind of dip your feet in and become like a designer and work in fashion work in the industry maybe you might not go and start your own brand but just give you an idea of what you want to do right and you get to present on the bigger stage that'll be a sick thing to do but we get someone's singular vision like if at most of duo i don't like collectives i don't mean i'm not really a fan of eclectic i don't think they work um very rarely do they work in fashion i think it's either a singular vision or a duo vision that's it and just kind of stick with that and go forward i think that'll be a great way to honor his legacy honestly it'll be like a literal breeding ground and the school for people to kind of go in show their best work and be able to kind of touch people influence at the legacy of the brand and essentially it makes the brand like everlasting right because there will never be a there's never going to be a generation of kids who will grow up and see the videos that virgil did some of the videos i've got on my channel and and not be inspired and not want to also get involved and not be kind of inspired by his story everything right so you look i have a never-ending stream of amazing applicants coming through from all over the flipping world wanting to kind of show what he meant to them or be able to kind of show their talents on that stage considering that they come from unrepresented communities areas whatever be they'll be sick that would be so so sick but more likely than not they'll try to collect a thing it probably won't work and then they'll get someone famous to come and do it you know i know i mean it's a business idea today they gotta make money but i would love to do it that way if they did it before but you know what what can you do um then it continues here [Music] uh oh this is here i'm losing just an interesting point here louis vuitton chairman and ceo michael burke cited the similarity between the current situation that off-white is similar to dior man imagine only when he's passing they're saying this man when he was around no one was comparing off-white to dior you say that people will laugh at you anyway and went through after the death of christian dior in 1957 it says as follows quote if the legacy is rich authentic and steeped in values that go beyond fashion the odds of turning a past a passing into something eternal are spectacular yeah but y'all went to through some troubling times too and i mean do you even know at the moment with that what's her name um with that lady at the moment i mean like she's making some absolute trash on that runway so let's not use do you as an example but anyway i'm off i did present their show also um the full 2020 show in paris there are some bits on here that i really like some bits i didn't but the biggest thing to come out this was the video of the actual show amazing they had jeff mills doing the music like like he set up like in what's that video that iconic video from back in the day where he's got the flipping npc machine no pc machine whatever machine that he uses on the floor and he's kind of squatting down and there's these massive speakers that are perspective obviously you know in the in the style of virgil and he's just oh going to town i think like amazing to see really cool and this massive chandelier in the background like the setting was great and i'd imagine for his friends and colleagues and whatnot and people that are really close to him family it must be better sweet as hell in it because this whole show was like because the thing i would imagine before the whatsap group how they're going to continue his legacy it was so you could tell the show was really informed by virgil's taste and what he left behind and maybe messages you left to people whatever maybe or maybe the work that he did you could just tell it was and it must be so bittersweet to be a friend or somebody close to him or a family member to be there and he'd not be there to show him not kind of popping out at the end running around holding someone's hand you know kissing someone in the audience bringing kisses whatever he did i mean like he's not going to be there anymore you don't get to see his outfit the end of the runway like it's just such a sad thing in it but it's great to honor him still do i mean all the flipping stars show that as well those are really big models some of you i don't really know but some who i do know loads of great looks here and dead i'm a big fan of those really exquisite women's looks i thought that were really cool i've always said anyway off why women's was always the standout compared to the men's i thought the men's wasn't the strongest i would for his vision of how women should dress or what he likes to see women wear or whatever was really interesting for me it was always kind of a little bit it really stood out in terms of what was available in terms of what was presented during private fashion week especially because that's like the pinnacle of i think um fashion weeks and whatnot you know this vision of what a woman look would look like in virgil's head is like amazing i mean like a like a down jacket on top of a classical dress with some heels i'm so classic dress sorry with some heels and a slit in the front like you know you might not like it but it's still a very unique way of like kind of seeing what women would kind of dress like i'm still not a fan of these sort of uh that was what i think called the harness but i do prefer this shape oddly enough more so than the other one um again the harness legacy man that's gonna be long in it that legacy and i also like this logo that he developed over recently over the years as well this kind of like a logo with like the color holes that kind of looks like a piece of cheese i thought that's a great way to kind of instantly notice an off-white piece instead of the kind of extinct kind of hazard warning sign wherever it is um some great stuff here yeah look at the women's stuff like the the virgin idea of women off ice cream is just really cool i always thought it's really impressive um really really big fan of it some of the accessories are great big padded jacket the hat is pretty impressive so i think kind of giving me um vivian westwood vibes there as well and this obviously was pretty sick and on oh i look number 22 with um holding a flag that says question everything looks amazing okay that women's look is flipping cool with the combat pants like so excellent man really really really cool this look was one of my favorites number 28 especially with the model um skin complexion the color of the outfit just it pops there's nothing better than really bright colors on darker skin people i know that it's a it's a secret hack it really is i wear lime green i wear this sort of canary yellowy limey color and i look amazing doesn't matter what you wear really really cool then that's weird i think i remember i wonder if women could comment on this is this always normal to have heels where the toes are so like out like that or is that because it's just a runway model shoe and they're not going to be in production like that it's too s it feels too sparse for me here there's not a lot of like i mean protection or cover maybe i'm just looking to run here it's a bit too open and sparse but yeah apart from that i loved it all really cool looks like look at that look how good that looks again yeah again the toilet is just too out maybe it's maybe smith's bed i'm not sure but yeah um some cool looks here let's see another one that i look oh yeah this is one of my favorites as well this went so hard number 35 look all brown with this amazing big fur thing uh kind of his interpretation of i guess a regular classic sort of dickies carhart uh double kneed um overalls you know you got you got a turtleneck jumper there with the massive hat like i love it love it love it especially if someone like with a big head and big hair like myself that hat is going to be a godsend when the eventually does come out and never look too with that fur number on they have a repeat of a look but i do like it nonetheless i think the trousers are maybe a little bit different the pants got some off-white nikes on there look number 38 and get another brilliant look for women like you might not it might not be your style but his version his vision of what a woman looks like is really one of a kind in some respects you could say it really really is man let's not let's no let's not lie here before this was really cool with the you know face i'm surprised not many other instagram baddies have done this actually you know girls like to do their whole face card because they've got a really cute face uploaded onto instagram i'm surprised no one's painting face card with quotation marks underneath there on there underneath their eyes and of course you've got serena williams looking incredible as well on here she looks really good really really good much better than that other show we saw it was a shoot she did recently where she was looking a bit weird yeah the stripe hanging off here doesn't look the best but overall she looks great now for their number 44. i forgot who this lady is she's somebody i think senior known she looks cool as well got these kind of um what they called these ski snowball boots everyone's wearing at the moment that looks cool i think i have to actually try to see if this works for me and my style and grab a couple of these snow boots but i think it might be i think it might not look how i want to look in my head i want to look at pharrell end up looking like a f but you know you might try again a really cool look with the camo this i thought was a really great representation or synthesization or if you wanted an example of what the codes are for off why i think this would be it look number 47 which is essentially a classic gray blazer charcoal gray maybe there's some editions here and there the lapels are a little bit different shape wise you know buttons there got a nice little pocket with some great accessories in terms of the paper clips and then he's got a kilt worn i guess over the trousers or maybe it's built into the trousers um classic length holding one of the bags right so everything's kind of been tweaked and twisted here and there uh per his um design ethos i forgot was his three percent or whatever thing that he said but i think this is a real representation of what off-white is about as a brand if there was one image that could kind of be used as a template or use as an example of how to basically a starting but a point to leap off from if you were going to take over um sorry off-white i think look number 47 will be the one really would looks so cool and it's probably done the best this is probably the best iteration i've seen of it this is even better than um virgil's met gala look was it megala that he did where he had the kill thing this is a much better representation of it i think in my opinion um then you see capo jim jones walking the runway he's just sick in it jim just if i'm not mistaken also it's funny because when virgil was alive he felt like he was wanted chasing after the virgil club but you know he was always in the comments making it known he likes his stuff but you never really saw virgil kind of reaching back out too tough apart from maybe your time here and there maybe there's a bit of distance there maybe he got too many requests from rappers and whatnot i understand that regard but he did um but it's quite nice to see you kind of come around full circle which i mean and he'd be able to kind of show the love and be on that runway and look	Agostinho Zinga	UCLWj0X4aOBzWQoZzz4_Z9zA	2022-03-02	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

ah like he want man so girl you don't even have help my husband is ball y'all but he got this little beard traveling he sweated this thing I do something for him no he sweated the Virgin half for a

it up one sword up and say that banging and let it melt and boy that is gonna kill heart again so until they drop that price down then I begin I'll be still on my knees okay y'all y'all see my house hello great great yeah Wow speaking of great yeah I passed free listen notice in my last video I kept I kept doing it when I look back at my stop anyway don't try to control that in this video okay because that was kind of annoying to me so I know I probably ignored a couple of y'all um but thank y'all not meet you today I went back and I seen it myself yeah I don't like this necklace you guys listen I know a lot of y'all probably wondering like the old one off used to injury all the time yes I still do with your heart attack but for some reason I just don't be coming home with it on camera and I think I need to start bringing my sexy stuff back my chair if a girl back because she loved jury I mean big big jury I love big ridiculous ghetto-fabulous jury and I think I always will so anyway so I'll speak it up black spray did I say speaking of black spray speaking of gray hell let me see if I can get something girl get yourself in the camera girls I'm trying to cause all my toes on me so anyway no maybe I just sit back and maybe yeah obviously those Gray's that's a little good little spot right now my main great is all of my freakin edges like for real come on great house I need to call it my house it's got style in it and I got it on Amazon it's it is root Casilla for its black you know derson to black spray for the gray hair and it got a little tube on it like this got a little spigot on it my other great how thing didn't have that I just got this one and I'm it's actually taught me to color my hair black before I go to the girl to get my hair braided y'all I am going to color I'm gonna be doing a dad might have great video maybe I don't know shop oh yeah I know I mention open in the video that I said I'm gonna start back drinking not start back cuz I never will stop I just kind of slacked that's why I think that's why I probably got this pimple because my skin was doing very good and clear and beautiful and all of that stuff and but I got my water container as you guys can see okay the problem of my water part is again is I'm tired of it it's been like it's been over a year that I've had this this is the only water about our head in the last in my tummy it might be about two years now forever and I absolutely love it I do love it it's an excellent water bottle it is by cool gear it's big but the thing is I'm tired of it in it gets overwhelming sometimes I feel like I'd be forcing myself to drink like this last little bit of water in here because this whole 64 ounces which is like watching Elise need 64 ounces in water him you a day I don't care how much you weigh your size or whatever you at least need it the minimum get 64 ounces of water in your day but it's hard for me personally it's hard for me to drink from is it it wasn't at first but that is it's getting hard for me to like gather the thought that I need to drink all of this water because it's so much at one time when I fill it up and then since the whole day I try to drink the whole thing I don't want my water sitting in this like the whole day because by the time if I start with this in the morning up here then I'm like that lifetime dinner time you know it down it just seems so overwhelming to me so I want a smaller water bottle so it won't be so like oh my god I got a certain point you get tired of drinking water anyway so what were you here to discuss we here - we're here to talk about um reason I've got money but let me um get to what my question well what I see it I said how do my songs make it to the adjustment to moving to Alabama now what I do regret as far as me moving to Alabama is I should have waited to all my children will finish school before I made such a big leap in life but I don't regret it I kind of do because I don't like the schools here especially especially for Scoobies to do with the schools were here already have disabilities but didn't him dealing with the schools is like I know no because the schools here so when I tell you this suck I really mean that they suck and and I'm always out there I got to stay on top of them folks and all of that all the time so if you're not a good parent you're gonna have a meal own set yourself up for some failure if you want a little parents um that just see your child school and that's it and you never go out there you'll never see the teachers because there's a lot of parents like that in the that counsel I'm sorry to say it but it is his signature in the school and I mean if you got a child that you really got to go check up on and on it you gotta age through the training through the day kudo serial child doing good but if you got a child like I got with Scooby who has developmental issues or mentally mental issues and stuff like that and you just see them try to school you you send your kid up for free if your child at a dumb school okay if your child at a school that people don't you know the teachers don't seem like they kill but the teachers can't if the parent put in that much tougher so speaking of it when I get doing reason my scape and all of it and everything and stuff here I am gonna go out there and check on my child he is in the tenth grade and he said you know and don't teach us I'll move it he wanted um keep one they asked keep one a blitz no I made the first thing I see but you know it really made me mad but anyways he has adjusted very well to Alabama at first it was hard for him because they don't have no fish creeks you know cuz scuba is official fishermen fish a boy whatever you want to call him and y'all know that I've had countless amounts of videos with him fishing and catching fish and he doesn't have the opportunity here in Alabama which is not a good thing because my whole family fishes and we have a family full of fishermen and women but Scooby has he still goes fishing it's just it's just different now he can't just like walk to the water cousin Florida Florida is surrounded by water yeah Alabama is not so it's not water every time you turn the corner and but also it hit me a little bit because every time I turn around schools go home you know schools always gone somewhere and I didn't like that as a parent and him being in water and already having mental disabilities you know I was always scared I was always scared and I'm not scared no more nighttime in Alabama so there is a good side to being in Alabama which for me is I'm not scared anymore that I'm gonna find my baby in the water ground up somewhere because he was always sneaking out to the water and stuff like that cuz he would sneak off to the water so much and I just had to go get him very the police used to bring him home because if he was in retention ponds and lakes that he shouldn't minion so that's my story but Scooby you know I love him the fish and everything but you know I don't want him in team come on listen because he wound up walk like the back is handy he ain't afraid to learn he ain't afraid alligators crocodiles my honey my people encounter alligator in the retention pond okay so long story short he has suggested very well to Alabama he had there just to these schools because the children will make you wanna slap me mama at these schools these children are so disrespectful they cuz they cook so much I mean the children do comes back at home from where I'm from but here they straight disrespectful to the teacher to the police to everybody honey ain't no love no well don't seem like night at the school is you know I live in a respectful neighborhood the kids over here they they dude I don't live in the ghetto right now in Alabama I mean I don't live in an upper-class neighborhood but I live and I live in a neighborhood but ain't no and I do have good neighbors and stuff like that everybody everybody is friendly and likeable around here so that that made my just met better even though I don't deal with no matter I mean I've met them but now the best about it but they as far as from what I saw pretty decent people they regularly folk just like me but not hood cuz I make who the sound bad right no it's a bad know who's not bad cuz I'm from I mean you ain't acting like you retching in your clothes hanging out on your front fence and all of that type stuff I mean I mean I know clothes got a dry but we do got a dryer anyways I hope you guys breathing out scouts with me so this is a Tuesday I'm gonna release this video today as well today is the actual day that I'm doing this video uh our last Friday was a fail my first video attempt to doing something I thought I was gonna bring something good to my channel that we all could do together and participate in y'all if y'all do not have y'all version have fertilizer grease today which I'll whatever grease y'all use it to region I'll scalp we go get it y'all is come pop pop pop Carly get y'all a cup of coffee and we gonna talk about these things listen y'all oh yes so at the end of the day my children have adjusted very well by now I know it's been four years now it's been four years so I don't know by now they should have and at this point they don't even really like going back to Florida like for real yeah I think that's crazy they don't even like going to Florida because it's like boring there and what Scooby did go with me the last time I went to Florida which was what two weeks ago he had fun he went fishing and every fishing hole he could go I just let him go do him think eating case not one fish this time and it's cold it's the one that I'm sort of fishing ain't you know they ain't babies and it was windy the weather was bad so his chances of catching something was not good because you know he Scooby I don't know I don't know no my fishing y'all I mean crazy right because my whole family fishes but Scooby tells me mama if the water is moving a lot like if it's windy the fish ain't biting so like it's the Seas have to be calm why I say the seeds go too late the lakes and the retention ponds gotta be calm before you know the fish get hungry whatever I don't know how to I don't know hangover but anyway that's what he told me you know so yeah that's that's life for them and that was a that was a that was an ending to the question that I was asked by Kimberly Davis Thank You Kimberly for ask me that question let's see who got something else on Oh y'all boobie is back so I don't have newbie in here over here to sleep no more sheets in the room in other titi praise God how did you know because she was getting on my last nerve but I just I just went in and check the

say oh just gonna sit on top because the grease has formed a barrier much tragedy no wait hunt and do whatever make you feel good it's still gonna work trust me it's still gonna so eventually that grease don't soak anything you'll be back to moisturizing it again honey look at the back of my hair y'all look at the back of my hat it's just all kinds of don'ts going on with the bag on my head

don't know what's going on with the back of my head side of this yeah anyways and spoke to y'all yet alright y'all do not do like I said before I appreciate when y'all coming on my video that let me know that for real fruit that y'all actually exist in the building okay they come this is my favorite part of my videos because I post these videos for y'all and I post them for y'all look I don't know what I'm going on this just gonna be ratchet it's about to get to that anyway so it is what it is all put this this here bobby pin up enough and hopefully it'll stay for the next couple of days cuz this getting ready to get took all the way outside and real songs real songs so whatever you look like somebody just leaving me because it didn't get great tighten up from the start you didn't get and breathe it tight enough from the start so just look at man and I need to put a little grease on the hill girl yeah my happy one the shade because they grow down so far which I think y'all shake him back yeah all right ain't nobody did but my sister she do did she shamed the back of that because well I don't know if she doing that but she she used to show you the back of her house because it grew down too far so I think I'm just happy one minute one minute I read feeling some type of way down so chat is it for me agrees in my scalp honey I need to get a wit what y'all hands y'all because y'all newest greasy and this how much fertilizer I got left in my thing I knew we have enough for maybe two or three more these applications job I question because I'm just talk about y'all guess what job I told you I the last time that I'm from this girl to do my hair but I have a problem I said to this he'll do that I want it to do but he sure if I want in the mall I think I want to change um girl yes what I see I had told my sister that I wanted some fishbone braids and she was like don't get those those oh you know what yeah but okay I believe fishballs long this time cuz I'm gonna get them the next time but for right now I just want her to break my real hair and be able to I'll be able to put some kind of extensions in it I don't know when I will house but anyways I always tell me how about this this black spray and I don't know if y'all could still see me great no it was two degrees on in my hair I'm most brittle a bit well what's right in front of my house can y'all see it changed this this this black is not as strong you don't look as much like spray-paint it's my other black I'm gonna do a comparison if I can find my other black spray if I got some more because I think I might be use it all but if y'all could see this side right here vs. dancer can y'all tell the difference you did cut my little parts though but sure whatever long as a couple of degrees I'm trying okay I'll see the difference can y'all see the difference so what I'm gonna do now is just do my edges with my oh my god to be glue yeah I have I have this relationship between the got to be glue and my even with the purple top I don't know which one I like them both these are both my I'm going to just do my edges with the got to be glued I got they got to be glued is good for like when I got all of my hair just feels that like this yeah I see I just got a whole bunch of fools around my hair right now because my edges ain't done I'm see that and it covered up that gray pretty well I'm not still smacking my lips y'all that's it I was gonna stop girl ah that just mute that that must be just what I do I don't know girl so I won't put this on what is it this got to be glued on my edges right here right now and it might turn a little white y'all because y'all remember I did the last time and it turned a little white so um I'm just gonna uh put this on I need to get a big bowl of this because the reason why about the little one is a dollar ninety-nine but plus I didn't think I used that much because I didn't at first because I was so into my even but for some reason lately I guess I guess it all depends on the different hashtags I get I'm using more of the glaze then the even now maybe I'm just being lazy but the reason why I'm gonna tell you is because when I put the it's not as thick it's not as firm when I do the even the evening is very thick and it's hard to maneuver with this brush sometimes sometimes it's hard to maneuver with this brush y'all so oh I need to spread my hair I'm gonna spread my hat with my s-curl spray on put my glasses over here every time I go I know why I defend all y'all I hope they ain't got my lens dirty but yeah I got my ceiling fan on the hill look hard by the cow anyways y'all see all that stuff that's been going on the internet yo how y'all feel about the oculus situation you know I did not watch none of that stuff because I'm like okay I'm not finna get involved in this because it's too much for me to handle because I've been in situations myself that I don't wanna discuss but all right Kelly mmm-hmm I'm gonna just say this much about that mm-hmm no no I said no no for me okay so anyways he had turned white right oh I did overdo it y'all I put a little too much on it so when you find yourself putting look too much look

y'all but I appreciate y'all for sticking in here with me sticking in with me if y'all still watching say chuck-e-cheese if y'all didn't watch this ain't chicken cheese get there okay so that just let me know how far in y'all watch the video and I appreciate you guys who do watch into the video to get to the point where I tell you I've said so I'm crazy because I know my videos long and the how long y'all watch my videos it really does matter to you - because the way they pay us is that we get paid more if the people watch us longer if you if I get more video viewed minutes bye y'all the pay is I think say we get paid motion but I know they do go buy the video views I know if my video gets more watch minutes that the amount that I make per video does increase so let's put it like that and I don't make much I'm not one of those bu tools that can just bawl out and do I look I did st. working right this ain't very keen okay let's see I'll try to do a little curve on him but this this hat

roads another day yeah so I'm trying my best to do these in the best way I know Hatcher and y'all y'all could see I have black stuff on my forehead for that one piece but it's not nothing this and it's like they're like black stuff everywhere I feel like I got a little bit right here oh yeah I'm so [Music] yeah that's a little bit right now y'all see that so I just go around and wipe the rest of my hairline I just go around and wipe the rest of my hairline off with the wet with the wet wipe and hopefully it won't be as bad you know I know my age of jacked up man but this is the end of this

TCwgpgmq3Wo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCwgpgmq3Wo	Fall of Baghdad (1917) \| Wikipedia audio article	the fall of Baghdad the 11th of March 1917 occurred during the Mesopotamia campaign fought between the forces of the British Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the first world war topic arrival of General Sir Frederick Stanley moored after the surrender of the cut' garrison on the 29th of April 1916 the British Army in Mesopotamia underwent a major overhaul a new commander Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stanley Maud was given the job of restoring Britain's military reputation general Maud spent the rest of 1916 rebuilding his army most of his troops were recruited in India and then sent by sea to Basra while these troops were being trained British military engineers built a field railway from the coast up to Basra and beyond general Maud also obtained a small force of armed river boats and river supply ships the British launched their new campaign on the 13th of December 1916 the British had some 50,000 well-trained and well-equipped troops mostly British India troops of the Indian expeditionary force dee together with the 13th western division of the British Army forming the Mesopotamia expeditionary force the Indian divisions of the Indian third Corps also called the Tigris Corps included British army units the Ottoman forces were smaller perhaps around 25,000 strong under the overall command of general Khalil Pasha topic March on Bagdad there were no setbacks for the British on this campaign general Mord proceeded cautiously advancing on both sides of the Tigris River he earned his nickname systematic Joe the Ottoman forces contested a fortified place called the kediri Bend which the British captured after two weeks of siege work the 6th of January to the 19th of January 1917 the British then had to force the Ottoman forces out of a strong defensive line along the High River this took them two more weeks from the 25th of January till the 4th of February another Ottoman position called Dara Bend was taken on the 16th of February finally the British recaptured cut on the 24th of February 1917 in the Second Battle of cut the local ottoman commander kara becky obey did not let his army become trapped in cut as general Townsend had been in the First Battle of cut the march on Baghdad resumed on the 5th of March 1917 three days later Maud's Corps reached the Diyala River on the outskirts of the city Khalil Pasha chose to defend Baghdad at the confluence of the de leur and the Tigris some 35 miles south of Baghdad the Ottoman troops resisted the initial British assault on the 9th of March general Moore then shifted the majority of his army north he believed that he could outflank the Ottoman positions and strike directly for Baghdad Khalil Pasha responded by shifting his army out of its defensive positions to mirror the move of the British on the other side of the river a single regiment was left to hold the original Diyala River defenses the British crushed this regiment with a sudden assault on the 10th of March 1917 this sudden defeat unnerved Khalil Pasha and he ordered his army to retreat north to Baghdad the Ottoman authorities ordered the evacuation Baghdad at 8 p.m. on the 10th of March but the situation was rapidly moving beyond Khalil Pasha's control the British followed close on the heels of the Ottoman troops and captured Baghdad without a fight on the 11th of March a week later general Maude issued the proclamation of Baghdad which included the line our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies but as liberators some nine thousand Ottoman troops were caught in the confusion and became prisoners of the British the British were worried that the Ottoman government might try to flood the Tigris plain as it happened this fear was unfounded the Ottoman troops never attempted to flood the area topic consequences the result was a decisive victory for the British and yet another defeat for the Ottoman government the humiliation for the British due to the loss of cut had been partially rectified the Ottoman government was forced to end its military operations in Persia and try to build up a new army to prevent the British from moving on to capture Mosul the capture of Baghdad a provincial capital also meant that the first Ottoman province had fallen under British control although good news for the British forces this caused a great deal of bureaucratic fighting between the British government in London and the British government in India once he captured Baghdad maude was the de facto governor of Mesopotamia from Basra to Baghdad Sir Percy Cox the Tigris Corps political officer attempted to issue a proclamation stating that the province was under joint British Indian administration v London ordered Cox not to issue his Proclamation and came out with its own Proclamation asking Arab leaders to aid the British administration instead at the same time the Indian colonial government had different ideas after they had been the prime movers behind Mesopotamia in the first place the British government in India wanted this new area placed under its direct control this power struggle led to the creation of the Mesopotamian administration Committee under the leadership of Lord Curzon its main task was to determine who would govern the Basra and Baghdad provinces its ruling was a British not Anglo Indian administration for Basra and an Arab Authority for Baghdad equals equals nodes	wikipedia

8-fzFbXi0tc	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-fzFbXi0tc	Future of Web - Anuvrat Rao - FOSSASIA Summit 2017	thank you thank you money thank you morning everybody morning morning all right thanks for making time to show up on a Saturday morning at 9:30 to come and listen to me speak um given it's like I have two versions of this deck actually uh one which is used when people are like at a good time of day one which is used in the beginning of the day or if it's the end of the day so because it's beginning of the day I'm going to use one which has as little words as possible and as little code as possible I don't think I actually have a snippet of code but I'll talk about these things uh also I like to have you guys try these things out as opposed to me talking about it which I think is more fun um so before I get started I just want to get a sense show fans how many of you are developers in the room yes okay good everyone's developers what I thought great uh how many of you are um Android developers web developers all right fantastic iOS developers lovely um cool so um actually just to introduce myself a little bit more um I'm on a team at Google that's called Product Partnerships and what that actually does is Google comes up with new things every day right we have a lot of new technologies and platforms we come up with my team is the one that these Engineers first come to and say we've come up with this crazy new thing now what do we do next how do we figure out a way to see is there value for this in the market are developers going to like this is the ecosystem going to adopt this how is it going to grow what's going to happen and that's really what my team tries to figure out um so I really enjoy that because I get to work on the latest technology that comes out and in particular over the last year year and a half I've been working a lot on the web and um I've given this talk a couple of times I've actually I like to use this title uh more and more nowadays because I think it uh brings about some interesting discussions I actually went around downstairs and in the room earlier uh and said hello to a few folks and said oh are you guys going to the Google sessions and they was like yeah I like did you see that this talk on the future of the web I didn't say I was giving the talk I just like this this talk on what do you think of that talk and I tried to get a few comments from people like you know what do you think of this and um I actually put them on screen when I picked up some of these comments so my first slide I was making it while I was sitting there in the last session and I thought I'd show that to you and this is kind of what I was hearing um it's was like is that really even a future what are you talking about like the world today is all about apps everyone's making an app Android is an amazing platform that's growing especially in Asia everyone loves to use apps you know things I was hearing was the web is dead it's all there I met a few guys who said you know I'm a web developer but my company all they care about is apps like we're like these neglected developers no one like we're not the cool kids the cool kids are all the Android developers um okay it's interesting I also heard people tell me that yeah my whole business is just app what's the point of the web even nowadays so I said well if you have the time maybe we should go for this session I'm hopefully you guys know I'm not going to name and shame these people but hopefully you find this session um hopefully in inspiring hopefully interesting uh food for thought if nothing else so um let's let's see how we go there um I'm going to start off with a little bit of History how many of you have one of these but half the room had one of these yeah I used to have one of these um and you know this is by the way not that not that long ago I us should sit on my little white computer I'd connect a dialup connection you go you'd connect to the internet and that was it that was me consuming the internet right um well today looks a lot more like this it's connected devices it's internet on your phones it's on your TV it's on your tablets it's in your car it's everywhere and if you look at the stats like just going back to this one back then it was 100% web and there was no apps if you did any kind of market research study of any kind and only in about 10 years or maybe 15 years it's gone from that to looking more like this you pick up any industry report out there on what we talk about the digital consumer the internet you'll always see these numbers you'll see engagement and time spent and conversion and transactions it's about 8020 app versus web 8020 7030 this is roughly what you always see so really like what happened like it's not that long ago what happened how did we end up with that radical shift um this is what happened the primary consuming device computer and primary consumption device of the internet switched to a mobile phone to a smartphone how many of you have one of these right now with you anybody doesn't have one of these with you right now no yeah it's pretty cool if you actually don't if you can get away from your phone on the weekend it's not a bad thing um so not only did the device change but three things in particular changed that were pivotal connectivity changed back in the desktop days you didn't have issues like oh I'm now on a 4G connection and I'm suddenly offline or I went from 4G to 3G to 2G and I went back up degradation in networks and intermittent connections that was not a problem that people experienc in the ttop days not necessarily but in Mobile that is a real issue especially in Emerging Markets especially in ape that's a very real issue secondly interaction changed you're not typing on a big keyboard you're swiping you're tapping you're pinching you're scrolling that's what you're doing on these phones that's a very different UI ux model and thirdly consumption pattern is very different go on at days where you'd go sit in an internet cafe for an hour and then like consume the internet right you now take out these things I believe this recent stat is about 250 to 300 times a day people take these things out they like a photo on Facebook there reply to a WhatsApp message they check the time they go write an email they check out a YouTube clip this is what happens so all of these things changed and user consumption user patterns evolv tremendously but the web just didn't evolve fast enough and so a lot of people's experience of the web today looks a lot like this the web is not optimized the damn website doesn't fit on my screen God forbid I go offline I end up on a wide screen if I'm on Chrome it's a little black dinosaur yeah it's cute but it's really annoying cuz I really want connectivity things don't load you can't swipe you can't scroll it these things are jaggy they're laggy that is what happens with the web and so technology industry all of us in the technology industry what did we do we saw a problem we innovated and we found a solution apks right bite-sized pieces of content that serve a specific purpose built for Android and iOS that just work on these devices really really well they have features that make sense like an icon on a screen that you can tap to get to something they have things like push notifications that makes a lot of sense on these devices they work offline they are inherently built for this screen you don't have to think about mobile optimization they're built for these things that made a lot of sense hence why you ended up in this world now so all that is cool I'm sure all of you know this uh why is this guy standing in front and telling us this history lesson which we already knew about um it's because of this how many of you follow Google IO anyone who follows Google anyone attended Google IO 2016 cool yes one person there lovely um so in 2016 uh at the keynote at IO Sund went up on stage our CEO and talked about remaking the mobile web and the entire community and the Press was like what do you talking about the web has been there for ages this is like this old archaic dinosaur what is so special and new that's happening this year why do you talk about remaking it uh you know Rahul Roy is the VP or Chrome called it relaunching the mobile web and the web is ready for business what's going on so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to play a little game you guys are all developers right so I am going to show you two versions of an app and I want you guys as developers imagine that your product managers or chief product officers of a company to look at the performance the look and feel the user experience of these two versions and tell me which you prefer okay ready all right let me try to now hopefully this will work I'm going to try and get my phone projected on the screen by the way I like to do a lot of live demos and like whenever you see a green screen something live is going to happen they don't always work cuz they're not stage demos so forgive me if it fails uh let's try this oh oh yeah hang on one second all righty do you guys all see my screen you see my phone screen is that yeah is that VIs okay let's try this so do you see these two green icons up there Wego it says Wego up there that's two versions of the wigo app some of you might know this company it's a travel app I'm going to show you two versions of it we're going to go through it very quickly so pay attention yeah remember your product managers heads of product focus on the performance look and feel don't worry about the content so I'm going to open up version one I tap that flights and hotels let's try to make a flight search let's say I want to go Singapore to right Bangkok let pick some dates uh 30 uh 31st yeah let's do 30th to let's say the 6th and hit search I'm searching I got some results I can browse let's pick that one that's a deal I'm done you guys saw that all right let's do version two I'm want to tap the second icon opens up flights and hotels let's go into flights yeah let's go Singapore to Bangkok again uh oh let's do the same dates okay again 30th to the 6th H search I'm searching I got some results I found something I liked and I'm done how many of you preferred version one few people how many preferred version two also just how many of you actually think they're the same like couldn't really decide be honest all right so 10% liked one 10% likeed two and 80% really don't know those who liked one could you tell me why there's a few hands you tell me why you thought one response was faster getting result getting results was faster good observation that's a good observation response was faster those who prefer two anyone you tell me why was SM it was responsive the first one or second one second one okay better interace of the flight better interface of the flights better of flights okay cool yeah and for the rest of you who are undecided you think pretty much the same like you can't really tell now what if I told you one of these is actually a mobile site and one of these is actually a native Android app who thinks the first one's the website who thinks the second one's the website more people for the people who think second why why why do you think the second one's the website anyone in fact guys the first one's the website and in this case wego's built a mobile this is their latest mobile experience you can check this out go to wego.com and you'll get this experience and it's faster than the native Android app if you don't believe me I'll prove it to you I'll tap on that first icon again let's go all the way back to the first screen I'm going to scroll down you see that if I had the app you wouldn't put like Go download I mean I've already downloaded it right it's a website this is what excites me about what's possible with the web today so let's go dig into is a little bit more clearly 80% of you thought the web and the apps were the same most of you couldn't really tell which was better or not uh and that's really why this space has become very exciting just in the last year or so all right back to my slides so if you were to like in a very simple World draw out apps and web this is what things look like blue is web red is apps and really what you find is from a discovery and reach perspective the web is always been really really good if you want to get to a lot of users this is the easiest way to get to a lot of users it's very low friction no Discovery issu is very very quick and simple the challenge is however always been in engagement that's where apps win so you have this world where apps are up there with high in engagement tough on Discovery because you need to get people to download apps discoverability in Play Store the other stores all of that the web's always had this so what we've done and what actually as a community as an open source Community we've done in the last 12 to 18 months is really bring some capabilities and fundamental Frameworks and ideas to the web that really help to do this we're trying to boost the capabilities of what's possible on the web so that we can bring it on par with apps and if not in some way actually better than apps and if you can really do that you get into a really really interesting space with the web so let's talk about that a little bit more um what I'm going to show you is this is a quote actually from Larry Larry always says this in Google he says focus on the user and everything else will follow um so why don't we try to focus on the user I'm going to show you what a best inclass future mobile web experience could look like and I want you guys to tell me what you guys think so we'll step through it one by one for most people your journey on the web starts somewhere like this you go to to search you look for something in this case I'm looking for a fleece hoodie I found a link some website e-commerce site I click on that link and the content just loaded instantly absolutely instantly as if it was already there on my device mobile optimized by default doesn't always happen every day but I had that I was like oh that's cool it's just happened very good I clicked on this green one that I liked I got to that product page and then I I realized there's no stock but the website had a little thing at the bottom that said notify me if there's stock so I'm like sure I'll tap that I opt into notifications from this site and now I can stay up to date I then leave my home I might get into the underground or somewhere and I have no connectivity this is a common scenario I can continue to browse this site the green ones out of stock but I'm able to look at other products that are there maybe like this other black hoodie all when I'm completely offline ultimately I decide not to buy those other ones I'm sitting at home on the weekend and I get a notification on my phone and it says hey that green hoodie is back in stock I tap that notification I'm right back to that product page from this website I can hit place order go to check out and then I get magically signed in I didn't have any user no username password I just got signed in to this site cool everyone hates passwords right so I can now go hit place order I got a UI flow that just comes up that's already got my name it's got address information it's got credit cards or debit cards I might have used before I just tap through it and I can it pay done transaction completed I now get a another thing that slides up from the bottom of my screen that says do you want to add this to home screen I'm like okay I actually enjoyed buying from this side maybe I'll buy again I say yes now an icon shows up on my screen instantly and anytime in the future I can tap that icon it opens up in full screen mode and I can re-engage on the go anytime that is what the future of the mobile web experience could look like cool interesting so this puts together lots of different apis and different Frameworks and things that are out there I'm going to talk about two of them in particular that sort of make this experience happen and I also share more about some of the successes we're seeing with this all this is really really new the very first one being amp accelerated mobile Pages who's heard of amp maybe 10% of people okay green screen so why don't we see this in action now for this one I want all of you to get your phones out I'm going to go do something on my phone and I want you guys to follow along with me let's see if I can get oh oh it's not again sorry yeah okay cool my phone's working yeah you guys have your phones out let's go to search and make a search okay we're going to do this live I have no idea will show up CU it's search live but hopefully this will work I'm going to search for Trump there's always something interesting on Trump so go on search for Trump and I'm going to browse around and um look around some articles so notice you found maybe some of you saw this there's an independent article it says amp with a lightning bolt next to it do not tap on that go further down there's another one that doesn't have a lightning bolt on it right this is a neutralized for network connection we're going to try and open up this typical web link let's click on that I'm going to click on this independent article it's loading up still a screen the article's there we have pixels still waiting a little bit and now it's fully loaded not bad I'm on Wi-Fi so it should be decent not bad but it was an instant not like that first experience experience we saw now let me try amp go try clicking on the amp link when you tap that instant this entire page is now been fully loaded under one second do you guys see that let's try something else you can go further down let me see if I can find any other amp links go to next page there you go doesn't New Yorker article that one says I'm next to it let's try typing that one again fully loaded pretty much instant is that Android only or any device just go to search any device any OS it's in search by the way this is not just news let's try something else let's go and try iPhone 7 in India you want to try try to search with me really really popular search you'll see two links here now this isn't this is cool this is exactly what I wanted to hopefully get there's an Amazon India link and there's a snap deal link let's go try click on the Amazon India link I'm going to tap that this page is loading up got some pixels you can see the loading bar still there it's done that is not bad for e-commerce there's a lot of stuff that needs to load when it's an e-commerce page that's not too bad but not necessarily instant it's only right nope nope I'm going to try and tap on the snap deal link let's try that did you see that anybody missed that you can try again I'm going to trap on Snap deal instead where it says amp next to it oh where's it gone tap that fully load their load time on product pages they by the way done am for every product page that they have their load time on search now with am is 400 milliseconds every time this is the power of app remember that user flow we talked about at the start where we were looking for a hoodie and click and the content just loaded that's where am comes into play so I'm going to switch back into my deck and we'll talk a little bit more about this let's [Music] go all right now amp is something we launched about a year ago amp is about making individual web pages fast and since then since about 12 months ago we've seen 860k domains making amp we've seen 1.7 billion amp Pages already out there in the world and there's 35 million of these coming out every week the story with amp is you know we had a bunch of folks in product who said the web is just slow but we you know we've optimized the hell out of search to make search Fast regardless of the network that user is on the device they're on google.com works and in fact you make a search and we still make that search page work but after that when you click on a Blue Link The Experience completely goes off the rails so amp's actually trying to do that it's trying to make individual web pages if you make a web page in the amp HTML format I'll tell you more about that and it's valid we have a public validator you can stick any amp URL through it it will check and tell you if it's valid if it's a valid amp page you will be guaranteed instant loading that was the promise of amp we've actually seen lots of uptake and app this is just a selection of some websites some eCommerce sit some other Publishers who've taken up amp and started to experiment with M and what's cool is to share these results across all of these 1.7 billion Pages the median load time is under 1 second that was exactly what we were shooting for and in fact am pages are four times faster than regular web pages and they consume 10 times less data that is really really exciting to hear now why is that like what's happening in am that makes it so cool and makes it so fast I'm going to talk a little bit more about this if you look at the top flow that's basically what's happening right now and this is an example of a news publisher where you have a CMS like a Content management system you're pumping out news articles you normally pump these out in HTML and it goes to the client you can optimize that in line CSS Minify your JavaScript try and optimize reduce trackers all of these things lazy loading to try and make this better and faster that's what people have been doing for ages what we did with amp is we said let's put all of those smarts together into an amp library that anyone can just access and make a page with it amp is a component based format the format itself it's async and it's optimized by default what do I mean by that what I mean is that if you make an amp page the way this works is a bit like Lego blocks I want to put an image I use the amp image tag it's it's like the IMG image tag but it's Amp Dash image it's just slightly different I want to go put like a little Carousel I use the amp Carousel component I take these individual components which are each of them individually optimized and put them together in an amp page and you will guarantee that this page will always load instantly so that format makes it super fast second thing that happens with an N page is because it's written in amp HTML when you put it out there and Google crawls this or any platform actually you can pick up these pages and it gets cached in something called the Google amp cache It's actually an open cache it's no cost rate it just we just do this with all the content that comes up in amp and then you can load that locally for a user you can imagine this is obviously going to make things much much faster and the third thing is actually you can do pre-rendering so search is a platform where AB shows up it can start pre-rendering some of this content and also it knows a lot more about what's going to happen on that page for example like reflows you know if you load a normal web page I don't know how many of you are familiar with this concept of reflows like an image would load then something else would load and you drag one thing down then some text would come up or a code then something else would move that leads to like six or seven different Cycles with amp there's no Reflow you know from the start exactly where things are and boom it loads all at the same time so these kind of optimizations happen as well when you put those three things together you get instant loading that's what 's trying to do now amp is not just about search I gave you the example of search but anyone can support amp these are just a handful of names of people who are supporting amp what does that mean that mean that if you let's say make an amp page an article and you share that on Twitter and someone clicks on it you get that same instant loading experience with that lightning bolt and everything and loading instantly under a second same thing on LinkedIn you share something on LinkedIn people click on it that same experience happens Bing Pinterest hike like a messenger messaging app where you saw a web content might be shared same thing happens what's good about this model is you as a developer or you as a Content owner doesn't have to build for individual platform separately you make one format and it's a standard format that anyone can then support in fact what's really exciting is we just had our Global an conference amp conference last week and we announced three new platforms all from APAC that support amp you might see this slide has changed with three logos Buu Soo and Yahoo Japan have all now started to support amp that is the top one and two search engines in China and one of the biggest ones from Japan that's a billion more users that can now see the benefits of amp through those search engines that they use this is really all about Community I can't stress more about this point like the number of stories we've had about AMP and how people have come together to make the format it's really really important everyone has to play a role in this I'll give you a classic example when amp first came out um the CNN started doing amp and then they Ed bright Co you might some of you might know bright Co it's a video player uh and they were like wait wait brightco videos embeds aren't working in the AM format it's very simple bride coov just made a component that was an amp bride Co component submitted it on Git it went into the repository it became live now anyone can just use that and brico works on AMP this is how amp works and this is how amp evolves similarly when we first when the engineers in our first came up with am they came to us and said we've managed to figure out how to make a web page fast like okay what can you do it's like um text and static images it's like okay I was like well let's try to go to news like I mean who else would have text and static image as content that makes sense what about e-commerce how would you do that components needed to get formed a lot of e-commerce players actually came together to make some of these components submitted it and got added into the am community and now you can start making Rich amp pages in e-commerce just like Snap deal has in fact there's about 9,600 engaged developers on GitHub on AMP just go to amp project on git you'll see this there and there has 300 contributors we're really really excited about this we'd love all of you to take a look at amp try to make amp Pages try to show us what's not possible and not just that figure out a component that you can make and submit it anyone can do this now Switching gears I'm going to talk about another piece of um interesting technology it's called Progressive web apps how many of you heard of this one pwa few more folks few more folks pwa is trying to raise the bar for user experience that Wego example you saw at the start where I talked about two apps their mobile site that was a progressive web app they are really fast as I'm sure some of you pointed out they're very reliable they actually can work offline and they're very very engaging as you could see in that example pwa also bring a bunch of interesting things to the web through a very core underlying technology called service worker some of you may have heard of this I'm going to just outline exactly what a service worker does and why this makes it pretty cool it actually breaks the model of how the Web currently works so this is basically how the Web currently engages with clients right you have a web server and you have a client and every time you're TR to load something you go to the server and you load that content what a service worker does is essentially it sits right in between that it's a client side JavaScript library that's registered on a client's device and it has One Singular purpose to intercept a network request and to intercept it and either use a on device cache with the service worker comes with or then do something else with it now you can see how this is a much better model of how to do things Android always had this benefit if you were like for example loading a web page and I can give you a good example of this we talk about the app shell model think about this page where you've got essentially what you call a shell of an app this is a website if you think about this menu item that comes up and stuff at the top that's all a shell that stuff doesn't change from page to page so only the content that's sitting right in between that changes that's d Dynamic and live in the previous world of the web what was happening is when I'm on page one I load everything when I go to page two I get rid of all this stuff I reload it from the server with the content what you can do with a service worker is you can have this appell loading on the first instance on first load stick it in the service worker cache on the client's device and on when the user makes a transition to the second page because the service worker plays in between the network request you could say load the app shell from the cash cuz that's not updated nothing's changed in that and only go to the server for dynamic content you can see how that is inherently just a much better model of how to do things now we had things like app cache browser cache that tried to attempt doing some of this but it was never possible to do it in a very fine tune manner in a very controlled manner service worker is the way to do that this is why these things are super fast this is also why these things can work offline you can put stuff in a service worker so that when you go and try to go to the network and there's no connection you don't have any service to connect to you can load from cash and show meaningful content to a user again apps could always do this you had an APK that was content on the device they could load that web didn't really have that option it also brings in three features that are really really been missing from the web for a long time through a service worker there's a push API you can send push notifications remember that example at the start where user just get a push notification I don't need to have a browser open I don't need to have the site open I just needed to have visited the site and then opted into push this will work in the background cuz the service worker sits silently and starts working there you have add to home screen this is an icon on the screen that's another reason why I could trick you with that wigo example there was an icon I didn't go to a browser and go to a URL I just tapped an icon it loaded in full screen mode that's now possible it's through something called a web app manifest and you can have an offline experience as we talked about with service worker these are all things that apps really really benefited from in fact you know breaks my heart sometimes I see apps which are essentially a website running inside an app in a web view like you open up these apps and the whole thing is a web view running a website I'm like this is an website inside an app and there's companies out there that actually do this as a business and the reason they do it is I want to get an icon on the screen I want to have push notifications that was the only workaround fortunately now you don't need to do that anymore so what's really the big deal do these things really work you know you've talked about these things they sound interesting is is anyone actually building these things and is are people actually having benefit so I'm going to run through a couple of examples in this space Alibaba everyone knows who these guys are pretty much these guys made a pwa that mobile site right now is the pwa they saw a 76% increase in conversion now anyone here who understands e-commerce would know that conversion is this like holy grail metric in e-commerce it's what everyone drives towards and people get really excited when you can get a five or a 10% increase in conversion CU it's really really hard to move conversion when you see numbers like this it's really staggering they also saw a 30% increase in Android active users happening people are just coming back to this thing much more frequently because it's a better web experience I'll show another example make my trip anyone know these guys travel site it's the biggest travel site in India actually their website in the past when I first spoke to these guys was you go to make mytrip.com on your mobile you could not book a ticket it's flights and hotels you couldn't book you could search some deals you could look at fairs and then I would keep getting spamed download app download app every page was like download app download app and they were they were using their website as a channel to drive app installs spoke to them about web spoke to them about pwa try to see if this actually made sense for them the reason they weren't doing is cuz the web just didn't work for them then now if you go to make mytrip.com it's actually a pwa beautiful experience full transaction totally like a native app and they start seeing some very interesting results they were telling us that they saw half of their bookings that are actually happening on the pwa are same day reservations that is not what they see on the native app and I was kind of scratching my head thinking why like what's happening and they said actually what's what's interesting is people in India like they fly from a city to another city and then they look for like a hotel for that night at that point of need when I'm looking for a room tonight I am not going to go find an app download an app install set it up and then find something I'm looking for it now I want it now I will make a search for it if I see a link I click and I book that is instant gratification and adjust in time need PW actually addresses that Justin Time need really really well they also saw this other interesting metric on first time bookings so the comparison here is if you compare a user that comes with a pwa For the First Time versus a user who opens the Android app for the first time the pwa user is three times more likely to actually make a transaction and again it goes back to this thing they open up a pwa when it's a just in time need but an Android app a lot of people download apps and then they don't even open them and then you might send a post notification some other day and then they open it but you don't need it at that point that's a fairly common scenario that happens let's talk about another guy flip cart you guys know who these guys are e-commerce bigest e-commerce player in India they were the first progressive web app globally and the story with them is really interesting in mid 2015 they shut down their mobile site they had a strategy to go app only because they said the web doesn't work conversion is bad engagements bad we're shutting it down it's not worth the resource around about that time I had I went and had a chat with these guys guys and said um we're working on a bunch of stuff like we didn't have this pwa terminology figured out then we just had a bunch of chrome folks and some web folks coming up with some interesting stuff service worker was just getting formed at that time I said do you want to try some of this with us like you know we're trying to build something that could really be interesting and they said well we've fired our whole web team we' got three or four guys sitting around and there's no website so sure like let's put them on a research project they worked with us over time and then eventually developed something called flip cart light which was the first pwa globally these are some of the metrics they were seeing a 70% increase in conversion but what's really interesting is this bottom one this is why they shut their site down people were not spending time on their site if you it what's interesting with someone like flipcart is it's not necessarily just about transaction and buying people use a site like flip cart for market research like when I'm thinking about what fridge to get next or what phone to buy I go to Flipkart to do research and they actually value that time cuz that user information is really valuable so even if people don't buy they want people to spend time people are only spending a minute on average on their site that's gone up three times that's what they're really happy about last example I'm going to share these guys people know lyt by the way it's a competitor to Uber in the US taxi company ride sharing so they said look you know Uber's doing really well big Global player we need to differentiate we're going to try and use technology to differen sh here's what they did they built a pwa for lift and they built full feature parity with Native app you go in there you put your phone number you do an OTP you hit next you put in some of your details here this is on lift.com just go to the website right. d.com and you get a full map screen view request the taxi this is exactly how this thing works you go there you've got your destination everything put in you pick your location where you want to go and you can request request the capab just there and then you'll get a p notification when the taxi is arriving all of that will just happen all on the web what's interesting is a they managed to build full native parity but not just that look at this I'm going to talk about download size this is how big their Android app is 17 Max this is how big their IOS app is 75 mix this is that pwa with full map API integration all built in there under one Meg what makes this really interesting is if you think about a country like India here this is actually LIF did this but the story makes a lot of sense here think about place like India we actually put a stat out from Google Play 90% of apps that are downloaded in India are uninstalled within 6 to 12 months 90% And the reason for that is people are on low phones and when they run out of space because they're taking too many selfies they're not going to go delete WhatsApp or Facebook they're going to delete transactional apps one of use case apps those are the ones that go so this uninstalled phenomena is a real phenomena if you can shrink the size down like this that issue goes away okay so that's all very interesting very exciting like how do I get started if I'm a developer what do I do right I'm going to talk actually about three approaches to how you could actually build a feed and what people have taken there's from the ground up there's building a simple version there's going for a feature all of these are possible let's talk about building from the ground up this is where you basically say I'm going to get rid of my entire code base and I'm going to build from scratch it's what flip card did in some cases that's actually easier because you know if you have a legacy code base you haven't touched for like 10 years it's easier to just get rid of it and just build again from scratch example I'm going to share on this one is actually Conga they did this they completely got rid of their site and they rebuilt it from scratch it's an e-commerce player in Africa if you think Asia cares about data these guys really really care about data it's really expensive to use data in Africa they care about it so much they measured a metric called bytes to First transaction for a user and when they rebuilt their pwa they focus just on that and this is the numbers they saw PW now consumes 92% less data on initial load and 82% less data to complete a transaction they're very happy about that let's talk about building a simple version you don't need to go overhaul your entire site I'll give you the example of Air Berlin this gu a travel company right so this Airline came to us and they were saying look nobody wants to have an airline app let's be honest nobody wants it but when I'm in the airport I want my boarding pass I want to know my gate information God forbid something changes you tell me that my flight is delayed or my gate Chang that's what I want so what they did is they they didn't rebuild their whole site they didn't rebuild their native app again all they did is they built an experience that works just in the airport you open up m. a.com you put in your ticket number your boarding pass shows up you know your gate information if something changes you get a push notification and the entire thing will work offline and loads in under one second very light very simple amazing experience I'll give you another example Walgreens in the US they said the same thing nobody wants a Walgreens app but when a user walks into a Walgreens if I can show them like just tap on this QR code or even from a beacon ping them a URL that's a stall locator you tap that you essentially know where every isle is and you can navigate to where different things are kept and where the stock is available helps you go and buy what you need and then you check out and you leave and that's it it's just for that they built a pwa just to do that also another option you could take you could also take your existing site and piece by piece then that into a pwa this is where we talk about focusing on a feature so I'll give you the example of weather company these guys said look we don't have the time to rehaul our entire site we can't do that but what I really want is push notification like if there's a earthquake happening or a cyclone coming I want to be able to tell people that's happening you can do that take the push API put a service worker in place and add push notifications to your existing site totally possible that's exactly what they did all over the world you could also say actually let's say I have a a big site and um you know I want to for a particular City I think that you know let's say Indonesia or India my site works really badly because of connections add a service worker do some caching make performance and speed better just for that piece of your site just for that end of your site leave the rest of it untouched Absol absolutely possible this is all open Tech you can reuse in the way you want cool thing about pwa is and service worker a we could have done this in a way where we made service worker and it's a chrome thing and it uh sorry makes Chrome better and it's a factor that helps Chrome grow we didn't do that we turned it into something that any browser can support so this is a selection of some of the browsers that are currently supporting service worker and working on it and in fact folks like folks from Oprah and folks from Firefox actually helped improved service worker and made it better so we're all working together to make this thing better we're all working together to add apis to service worker when we first launched it you could cash and then we were like hey it would be cool if we could do a push notification somebody worked with us helped create the push API so you can add that on as a feature similarly add to home screen came more things are coming the most recent thing is background Sync API that is where you could actually like let's say you want to like try and push some data onto your server and you lose connection it can just sit there and keep retrying every now and then whenever a connection comes up you reconnect and go it's like what WhatsApp does like you're trying to send a message and there's no you get a little timer symbol when a message can't go and when it can it goes that was not possible but now with this API you can do that so things are improving things are growing every day again because of the community and people adding to service workers the last thing I'm going to talk about is this you might think a little bit like this at this point in time this guy has spoken about AMP and he's spoken about pwa like what do I do like is it like choosing between the red pill and the blue pill answer actually is pretty simple you can really do both these things work great together I'm going to show you one quick example of how these things work together me get back into this where I can get my demo up all right o is my screen up no give me one second all right so I'm going to show you how these things actually can tie nicely together and there's a component called amp installed service worker which really makes this happen let's go make a search I'm going to try Forbes investment guide you can do this with me as well by the way this all this whole thing works for you guys so I see some links there amp links right we've looked at this before let's tap on this amp link here from Forbes loaded instantly as we expected so this web page just this individual page made an amp worked really really fast and loaded happens to be our Trump again um I'm I'm going to scroll down and I'm going to get to somewhere at the bottom of the page they have this thing trending so they've got more articles they've linked to this is common right you suggest other articles from forbs that are there that could be interesting now at this point if I click on one of these things you want to take them into my experience into my domain and my site so when I tap actually one of these articles now what's happening is I'm going from search to the m page into what is now the fobs pwa and this whole thing also loaded pretty much instantly I can swipe across get the next article there or the next one I can re swipe up if I want to read I go back I can go back to this one if I want to read this one I just swipe up all of this is already there this is the Forbes Progressive web app so you've taken a user from search instantly into amp into instantly into pwa and the reason you could do that is when I was actually on that amp page there's a component called Amp Install service worker where the service worker for the pwa is already registering on my device when I'm on the amp page and that service worker you can activate and start pulling in CSS JavaScript things that you need to get this page and get this PW going before the user has clicked that's how you go from an instant experience on first load and then an instant experience on second load and now I'm in an immersive experience completely applike that works offline and you can browse and read all these articles very cool pattern that you can use you can tie both of these things together all right I'm running out of time so I'm going to quickly wrap this up I want to show you some stats wego's actually done this they use amp and they use pwa look at what their old load times were and look at what their new load times look like now these static Pages these are those pages that show up in search that's where they used amp just for those pages they use the mamp format because it makes those much faster these cor app pages the website itself this is their actual site which they turn into a pwa and with this combination they manag to go from 11 or 12 second load times to under 1 second with amp and that pwa with that combination of ampol service worker and service worker in general gets to 1.6 second load time or 36 on second load so like if I've come to that side and I go back the second time it's even faster that is an incredible shift of performance it's we're not talking about incremental anymore we're not talk about I've gone from 10 to 9 we're talking step change from 11 seconds to under 1 second and the numbers speak for themselves every metric they could measure is up visits are up searches are up conversions are up and overall conversion if you combine all of these things together in the funnel is 95% increase in conversion pretty phenomenal we're seeing lots of success with pwa there's many many sites out there doing pwas this is just a selection of them again it's across lots of different verticals what's particularly interesting is Apac is actually ahead of the curve in terms of PW this is a technology that came out and APAC really embraced it before anyone else the most pwa launches globally are actually in APAC some of the best BW best inclass tech Implement implementations are also from APAC and like people come and ask me then as the guy who runs APAC what's going on why is this thing taking off in Asia and I normally leave them with this slide which is where I'm going to leave you guys today as well and that it says essentially in Asia if you think about Emerging Markets there's a bunch of challenges that are very particular to our markets that people in North America will never experience affordability is a challenge intermittent connectivity is a big challenge low end smartphones is a reality that's what people are on and for these people and on these devices and situations it's really simple impact I put this equation and for the mathematician is not actually an equation impact is essentially a fact of time and money simple as that if you can save people time things like amp saves people time it loads quickly and if you can save people money in this case I mean data is equal to money which is a reality and with pwa is where the install and the fact that you can lower that data use time you're saving people money good things start happening that's why this thing takes off in our markets that's why I was excited to speak to you about it today thank you so much [Applause] I think we can take one question as a Max yeah uh so you talked that uh Google has an amp cach it CWS the websites that are implementing amp and stores them in the cash yeah so is there any upper limit so is the cach maintained on the user end or it's maintained by Google or is there any upper limit on the cash so like all the websites have have started using amp so like what will be the impact what will the what will uh the load times be cash is completely open there's no limit on the cash uh every amp page that is out there that is valid will get picked up in the Amash and um not only that it's not just Google like for example when Buu is going to do this in China Buu is going to open up their cash for am so am pages that show up Buu will cash it on their caches which they're calling am caches it's also easier because these things are just much lighter and simpler so you don't have huge data issues with these things y why did Google introduce this HTML and not just uh you expand HML it's a good question um can you repeat the question yeah so I'll just repeat the question the question was why did Google introduce this new syntax amp HTML why not just extend HTML part of HTML 5 for example um actually the reason for this we we didn't start with that path we started by talking to lots of Publishers lots of technology companies analytics vendors everyone who plays in the web ecosystem and we first thing we did was realize why are things slow and the reason things were slow is there's a lot of stuff that sits on web pages and actually optimizing these things is a science that people build through brood force and pain people were looking for something that's simpler like can I just follow something give me all the flexibility but can I follow something where if I do like these end things in the right way and then everything else I control things will work fine that's what they were kind of looking for so it's not really that we've created a new language per say like amp HTML is just HTML it's just a library you have to load up and it works totally fine like anywhere HTML can load anywhere HTML works and renders amp will work the idea was to just make it really really simpler like if you really broke down everything and said let me start from scratch essentially putting a page together what are the components I need how do I add them together in a fashion that is optimized specifically for Speed and build it up that way that is what we were trying to do hence why we have this concept of valid and invalid like you can make a page by the way that's an invalid amp page you can do whatever you want to do with it not follow the rules of amp Etc that page won't die it's not like the page won't work it just won't have in places like search you won't get that treatment of amp with the lightning bolt it won't end up in the cash you won't get the pre-rendering benefits and you won't get all of the optim izations that am gives and hence it can still be a decent page just not as fast as what we were saying if you make it valid that's when you get instant loading that's kind of what we're going with any other questions all right I think we going to take more questions offline but uh let's give a round of applause for H thank you	FOSSASIA	UCQprMsG-raCIMlBudm20iLQ	2017-03-18	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	10,210	52,527

come down safely and the student said no that won't do I have to look out after myself you have to look after them out after yourself and that way by looking each of us looking after out after ourselves we protect the other this will be able to perform our tricks and come down safely and the Buddha mention that in that case the student was the one who was right because after all of them for an acrobat number one issue is keeping our balance and you can't look out after somebody else's balance as long as you're focused on your balance you're not going to throw the other person off and that way by looking after yourself you protect the other person than the Border went on to say it's the same with the practice when you look out after yourself you're looking out after others but then went on to say also their time has been looking out after others you look out after yourself the important thing is he doesn't draw a clear line between the two there's that old complaint that teravan is selfish you're only looking out after yourself but it's a Buddha said you can't help but help other people when you really are careful when you really are meticulous when you really do look out after your own balance all the good things about access practice generosity virtue cultivating the sublime attitudes getting the Mind into good state of concentration developing inside gay and release the primary focus is on what they do for Iran but in each case you're not only helping yourself the people around you benefit as well generosity though the Dual benefit is obvious on the one hand you create a more spacious mind for yourself if you're stingy if you're always worried about hoarding things and your mind gets more and more narrow more and more fixed on things and it's a very unpleasant mind to be in but if you can learn to be generous the Mind begins to open up it's a more spacious mind it's a more comfortable place to stay at the same time people around you benefit from the things you give them the same with the precepts you look at your behavior when you're following the precepts and there's really nothing that you can no need to fault yourself particularly when you've been able to do the right thing even when it was hard the sense of self-worth the sense of dignity no word that we tend to forget in other words we tend to forget is nobility these are the things that come with the precepts having principles in your actions and holding on to them no matter what whether they're convenient or not this way you don't harm other people and you yourself can learn to trust yourself someone gives you a million dollars to lie and you can say no that means that you're virtue is worth more than a million dollars you've got something valuable inside when you develop the sublime attitudes in your own mind becomes more spacious and you're less likely to harm anybody on top of that the Buddha notices that when you develop an unlimited Goodwill unlimited compassion appreciation equanimity if it's got any past Bad Karma the effects when they hit you when your mind is in an expanded State like that will not nearly be as strong it makes a comparison with a salt crystal in her and water he says if you put a salt crystal into a glass of water you can't drink it it's much too salty but if you put the salt crystal in a river you can still drink the water because there is so much water in there it dilutes the salt so that doesn't really make that much difference says it's the same with the mind that has this unlimited quality and a past bad actions whose results hit you when your mind in a state like that they don't hit you nearly as hard sometimes you've barely noticed them at all this is another practice and the Buddha recommends in which you benefit the people around you benefit as well don't the mind gets concentrated again your immediate benefit is that you have a sense of well-being inside a sense of stability there's a sense of Peace as the Buddha said there is no happiness I live in peace and when someone has that sense of stability there's a good place we can rest as a sense of fullness Rapture that can come along with it as well that Rapture the Buddha said is food for the mind and when the mind is well fed like this you don't have to go out feeding on other things outside your mind doesn't have to prowl around looking for other people to do this side or the other thing just the way you want it to be done you're less of a burden on it the same holds true with discernment of course release when you don't have to feed at all in any way you're no longer a predator from that point on all you have is things to offer to other people the wisdom UK and the insights you gained you've got a lot more to share so this is the Buddha's vision of the path it's one in which there's no sharp line between your benefit the benefit of people around you the focus is working on your qualities of mind because that is something you're responsible for things other people are going to do is say I think you can't be responsible for them only when you force someone else to do something against their will that's when you're responsible but there's so few cases in the world when you can really do that but your actions your words your thoughts these things you are responsible for it's if you take good care of these then I'm going to select the acrobat maintaining his balance you don't throw anybody else off balance and you yourself are safe so value this practice the more meticulous you are in looking after your own mind the better the results are going to be all the Buddhist teachings are and to focus your attention right here on what you're doing right now both what you're doing and the results that are coming from what you're doing the teachings on emptiness not solve all the what seemed to be more abstract teachings are ultimately meant to focus your attention back here whereas the stress and suffering what is the action that's causing that stress and suffering can you stop it in the more meticulously you can watch this one topic the better the results are going to be the more you're acquainted with your own mind the better the results are going to be so everything focuses here all your activities as you live here at the monastery are meant to focus here on the mind not only while you're sitting here meditating but all the other activities you want to stay in touch with the state of your mind as precisely and meticulously as possible because this is the source of pleasure or pain for which you're responsible to learn to Value it learn to give it the importance it deserves	Dhamma Talks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu	UC6FSq_ptJ-I6aTHT-XA_e0Q	2014-07-16	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

coming to hear about fixing cloud storage encryption my name is Adam ember spa this is my first shmoocon it's my first book on talk and it's my first mooc on super excited to be here this has been a really fun really fun weekend [Applause] I am a security engineer and a cryptographer for a company called coinbase but what I want to talk about today is some work I did as a PhD student at the university Wisconsin and this is some joint work with these fine cryptographers we published a paper crypto 2017 and what I want to bring to shmoocon is an attempt to take 45 pages of dense security theorems proofs and provable security and show how it applies to real world problems and I want to do this because I think this is a really important problem we spend a lot of time studying updatable encryption and it turns out we're using updatable encryption in the real world and I'm pretty sure everybody's doing it wrong and so I'm hoping to hear surface this to the community so you guys can understand what are these topics why we should care and ideally how we can do it better all right so what I want to talk about today is key rotation and I claim key locations broken and why is that a bad thing well key rotation makes sad Biden sad and this picture breaks my heart so we should fix this all right so I'm gonna introduce updatable encryption I'm gonna talk about the obvious way to use updatable corruption is a technique I want to call simple envelope encryption in this talk and we're pretty sure this is the same technique that everybody's actually using right now and then I'm going to show you some attacks against this attack or against this technique so two different threat models in a first threat model I'm gonna show attack I call a mix-and-match attack and then I'm gonna show how to fix it and we're gonna fix it by introducing a new scheme called kiss and it's going to be very high performance and it's gonna solve this very basic threat model then we're going to escalate the threat model to a higher level and I'm gonna show another attack called the key exfiltration attack and this is gonna break all the simple schemes and we have to bring up some really new ideas I'm gonna show you a new encryption scheme that solves that attack mama but there's going to be some penalty there we have to pay some performance costs all right but first what is updatable encryption and what's the setting we care about so it works like this you know we've got a lot of mobile devices and we've got these wonderful cloud storage systems systems like s3 and Dropbox and I want to use these cloud storage systems to store my data because they're highly available they're highly durable I can do backups it's easy to do synchronization but maybe you don't want to put all your plain text on s3 right there's some risk that it might become public or maybe somebody's going to break into s3 and you're worried about that fortunately we can solve this really simple problem right we know how to do symmetric encryption so on my device I generate a secret key and instead of uploading the plaintext to the cloud I encrypt that plaintext with a key and I upload the ciphertext to the cloud right we know how to do this in this talk this is the notation I'm gonna use so there's there's curly brackets with the key indicates symmetric encryption under this key k1 alright so this is pretty good because if you break into the if you break into the cloud or if your s3 bucket gets exposed there's only ciphertext and as long as I keep the keys secure I'm okay with attackers having my ciphertext at any time I can download that data from the cloud as long as I have the key I can recover the file I can read it I can operate on it I can make updates all right but it's never really just one file is it it starts off with one innocent like Google photos upload and next thing you know you got 300 gigabytes sitting in Google photos and at some point you might decide hey I want to rotate this key what are some reasons we might want to rotate a key well this is an encryption talk so probably a lot of you guys already know whenever there's a key it's good security hygiene to rotate a key and we just know empirically that this solves a lot of problems in specific cases I might have a compromised device right that key might be on my laptop it might also be on my phone maybe I lose the phone I still have a copy of the key and I don't know that somebody has that device but the keys floating out there somewhere and I think hey how can I get away from that key so I want to generate a new key and then of course not send it to my lost phone in some cases you're required to rotate keys regulations like HIPAA and PCI require regular key maintenance and the most common thing and this is gonna be one of our tak models today is this like deauthorized operator problem if I have a group and we all share a key and two of you guys leave the group you go you know join the army in North Korea or something I might think hey I don't want this guy to have this key anymore you know we want to rotate to a new key but how we're gonna do this I've got you know 300 gigabytes sitting in Google Cloud photos if this is the device I don't have enough CPU bandwidth or power to download all those all those files decrypt them locally re encrypt them and re-upload them to the cloud so what I want is a better technique I want some way so I don't have to download all the data but I can still get key rotation and that's what we're gonna approach ok so let's try a different technique I'm going to introduce a technically called updatable symmetric encryption so the settings still it's the same in the cloud I've got say a hundred files encrypted under some key I've got the key locally what I really want to do is download from the cloud some amount of metadata some very small headers locally run some computation and the inputs that computations are gonna be my old key my new key and some of this metadata that we've downloaded I'm gonna call the output of that an update token or rekey token and I'm gonna send that back to the cloud and what I want is the cloud provider to be able to apply we call re-encrypt in' so the cloud provider can take the rekey token apply it to the ciphertext and get a new cipher text that's now we're cover by the new key but not by the old key all right and there's a there's a naive way to do this which is just to send the keys to the cloud provider and have him do the decryption every encryption for you but there defeats the point of using symmetric encryption so we're only going to consider schemes that allow us to transform directly from ciphertext to ciphertext now this might seem a little magical and and the technique I'm going to show you reek ripped actually does some really cool magic with kiki homomorphic encryption but there's actually really simple engineering techniques to build this maybe some of you even know how they work so let's look at the obvious way to do this so the obvious way of something called simple envelope encryption and it works like this if I want to clip to file under a key I first generate a new key called a data key I encrypt that data key under the master key I then take that data key and use it to encrypt the file and hopefully in a slide you'll see why this is useful so that first part I'm gonna call a header right and that header is an encryption of just a data key right so it's very small right a symmetric encryption key is usually sick Senor 32 bytes add a couple extra bytes for an IV a couple extra bytes for a tag all in you're talking about 50 bytes so that's very small the second part is going to be the body it's going to be very large so a little bit of overheads but for the most part it's gonna be the same size as the file so if you're encrypting a 10 megabyte file you're gonna have a 10 megabyte body so you can see with this really big cipher text body and these really compact headers and that's gonna be really useful now both the header and the body we're gonna use authenticated encryption and for that a cryptographer just means an encryption algorithm that both gives us confidentiality and integrity and we have existing schemes to do that so we'll just pop over than this webpage and I'll show you I'll show you some algorithms that do this so we missed is down because politics so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it that there are encryption algorithms that give us confidentiality and integrity stuff like a AES GCM ok so now we've seen how to encrypt stuff then how do we do key rotation alright so here's the setting again all our files are in the cloud they're using this header body construction we generated new key locally and we download just the headers from the cloud alright so if we've got a hundred files and I got these 50 byte headers right that's a really small amount of data that's like 4 kilobytes of data so download these headers I decrypt them with my first key I rien crypt them from the with my second key and they're then upload them to the cloud and then rien ssin is really is really simple the cloud provider over writes the old headers with the new headers and hopefully you can see that when we're done we have a file that can be recovered with the second key k2 and can't be recovered with the first key okay so we have efficient encryption we can download small amounts of data we can upload small amounts of data and then we can rotate cipher text to cipher text to a new key so this technically is an updatable symmetric encryption algorithm and why do we care about this algorithm the reason we care about this one is because it appears that this is algorithm everyone is using so if you scrub AWS documentation or Google Cloud what you'll see is that under the hood for things like the key management service came ass or the encryption SDK they're using this envelope encryption now they don't disclose lots of details about it so it's hard to tell if they're using the simple scheme or something slightly more advanced but as far as we can tell and to our best guess it appears they're using sort of the the most obvious way to do that which is this simple scheme okay so what kind of security goals do we want from rien krypton well obviously when we encrypt a file with an updatable scheme we don't want the scheme to be any less secure than a regular encryption right which means we're gonna want confidentiality and integrity but Rhian ssin is interesting right what do you want from rien krypton intuitively you're thinking the reason I built an updatable scheme is I might have lost some old keys so what I do INRI encryption I expect to get some kind of recovering security I should get back the same confidentiality and integrity for my updated file as I would if I had if I've done a fresh encryption okay so that's what we want and we're using validated algorithms right we're using authenticated encryption and we put them together with this simple envelope scheme the question is does this give us any security well Dwight Schrute is skeptical I hope you are too also I spelled it in the first slide because I told you I was gonna show attacks so essentially I will walk through two threat models in the first threat model very basic threat model we're gonna give the attacker readwrite access to the cloud but we're not eating into the attacker any keys and I'm going to show you a Thai attack I call it mix-and-match attack and then we're gonna update the upgrade the threat model and we're going to give the attacker some old keys right because this is what we expect Rhian ssin to do and then I'm going to show you another attack call a key exfiltration attack all right so let's start with that first threat model okay so in this threat model we're gonna give the attacker access to a cloud storage but we're not even gonna give him keys okay so let's start with the scenario so here's our protagonist Sarge Sarge his job is to lead his platoon through some hostile territory and he wants to go whichever route has the least number of bad guys so sergeant's in the top position this is the valley he needs to get through and essentially there's to pass this valley a left fork and a right fork but fortunately Sarge is something really he is access to some really excellent overhead imagery which gets uploaded to a cloud storage provider and he's very he's very confident in the security because it's not only encrypted but the keys are rotated on a regular basis okay so satellite flies overhead it shoots an image of the valley if we can see there's some bad guys on the left-hand side here so there's those bad guys show up in the image the satellite then uploads this to the cloud it's encrypted under the first key so this first image is encrypted use our simple envelope encryption and it's uploaded to the cloud Sarge doesn't leave that day he's I know he's working on his Humvee or I don't know what the two leaders do but he doesn't leave on January 1st and I January 2nd the bad guys have moved right they've moved from the left work to the right fork satellite captures the Sun image it then updates the file that's stored in the cloud so the second version of the file is then overriding the first file and it's uploaded the cloud and we're using this simple envelope encryption ok so after this upload there's a regularly scheduled key rotation go back one and so the latest version of the file is now updated to the latest key ok and now Sarge is gonna access the cloud and he's gonna try to figure out which of these two images is the truth but we're going to give our attacker a chance to step in here all right because our tagger has readwrite access and he's seen all these versions of the file so the attacker is going to do is try to construct a forgery and what he's gonna do is he's going to take the header from the most recent version of the file and it's gonna take the body from the oldest version of the file he's gonna piece them together if you look closely right this is actually a valid encryption of an old version of the file under a new key and this is a big deal right Sarge is gonna download this file it's the wrong image but it's going to decrypt fine right he's got the second key he's gonna decrypt the header it's a valid header because it was encrypted properly he's gonna recover the data key it's the right data key he's gonna use that to decrypt the second body it's gonna be valid and so he's gonna think this is the latest version and this is a big failure for a symmetric encryption algorithm right this allows the attacker to generate a forgery essentially I'm rolling back the state of the file under a state that was never encrypted under this right an authenticated encryption is not supposed to do this right it's supposed to guarantee integrity okay so this is bad the good news is it's fairly simple to fix all right so we fixed it with a with an algorithm we called kiss and and this is how it works so in simple envelope encryption I have this header this header body structure in KSS I have this structure it's fairly similar except I'm gonna take the authentication tag that's naturally generated from the body and I'm gonna move it into the header I'm also going to play some some games with the data key I'm gonna split it into two parts that's to give us some some security properties for some threat models and I'm not gonna talk about today and then what I want to do Rhian ssin and simple envelope encryption all we do is update a header in KSS we're gonna rear an eyes the the data key with a little bit of a random data but the important part here is that the authentication tag is still going to be in the header putting this authentication tag in the header means that the header is bound to that version of the body so right so it's no longer trivial to just mix and match files from different versions and different keys and create a valid encryption okay so this is good we stopped the mess and met the mix-and-match attack and if you look at what we've done we've not added any performance overhead right we're moving some bytes around we're adding some X ORS but fundamentally we're not changing a lot of the underlying encryption and so there's no change in the performance profile okay so this is good but we're about to ratchet up the threat model to a strong a threat model and we're gonna see we're gonna see these schemes fail okay so second scenario Alice Bob and Charlie they work for a global global we president international hotel chain this hotel chain handles a lot of passport data and as we all know passport data should always be encrypted right I think everyone in this room can agree that passport data should always be encrypted okay so it's great word out totally knows what they're doing not only are they updating or encrypting passport data it's actually using updatable encryption because they're they're thinking ahead on these things so they got all these data in the cloud all these files in the cloud at some point one of these system meds gets fired so Charlie doesn't really know why I got fired Alice and Bob mumbled something about like lurking around in trench coats and stealing data he thinks it's unfair but he actually is stealing data so what Charlie decides to do is download a bunch of data and burn it to a Lady Gaga CD r-right I don't really know why he doesn't have USB to USB drives but in this scenario he has a lady Gaga CDR and so he can't actually fit all the passport data on the CDR so what do you instead what he decides to steal is just the underlying data Keys right so I have my master key k1 and I have all these data keys I have to learn this I have them on their CDR Charlie put some on his trench coat and he scoots off so Alice and Barb know that charlie is Shady and that he's got this this key so they decided when a key rotation the journey a new key they update all their files they delete all the old files and now let's see what happens under those simple envelope encryption and KSS okay so in simple envelope encryption if Charlie then gets access to the cloud data he still has the underlying data key which means he could still read all those files in fact he can make arbitrary modifications to those files right because he has the underlying data key he can go in and change passport images or change what these files look like or even generate new files paste headers on them and they're going to decrypt like valid files so in this threat model the simple envelope encryption completely falls apart we don't get confidentiality and we don't get integrity KSS does a little bit better but it's still not perfect so we lose on confidentiality with KSS right the attacker has the underlying data key so for all the files that were encrypted at least when he stole data keys he can still read those files so this isn't great he can't make change of those files though right because we changed the way we did authentication right you put authentication tags in the header he doesn't have access to the new PK too so you can't change the files but going to somebody and telling them like hey use this encryption scheme it gives you half security that's really not the right message right like nobody wants to know which which half is secure in which happens not we really want of is to be able to make strong claims all right and what's really happening here so what's going on is that both of these schemes were really not refreshing the data key and we're not changing the most of the ciphertext right we're fiddling around with header bits and in some threat models that gives us security but in a threat model like this it really doesn't give us anything all right so you could say that we're not really rotating keys right we're changing master keys but we're not changing underlying keys okay so if we want security in this threat model and this is actually a very reasonable threat model right people leave all the time have access to data what we're going to need is some really new approach so we worked on a scheme it's called recruit and it's going to give us updatable encryption and to build it we use something called keyhole morphing encryption in a simple explanation of keyhole morphic encryption it's a scheme that allows us to change the key without accessing the underlying plaintext and without changing that plaintext okay so for a simple definition let's say I take a message m file m and I encrypted under a key a if I encrypt that ciphertext again under another key B it's the same as if I had done an encryption under a combination of those keys in a single pass and of course for encryption to be useful we needed of course money decryption algorithm so if I take that combined ciphertext I decrypt under the combined key in single pass I should be able to recover the original message okay so that's a high-level introduction to key homomorphic encryption it's actually fairly straightforward to build keyhole morphing encryption you can build them out of pretty much any public key primitive we built ours out of elliptic curves you can also build them out of are saying so given key homomorphic encryption we can now build a very good updatable encryption scheme so we're going to use the same techniques we use from KSS we're gonna have this header in this body when we do an encryption it's going to be a single pass over the file and here's the header here's the body and in the first time that data key is just this value of X but when we do Rhian ssin what we do is we send a new value X Prime to the cloud provider and the cloud provider not only updates a header file but it also applies a fresh encryption of X prime to the cipher text right so now the beta key has changed it's now not just X it's a combination of X Prime and X the cloud provider has been able to apply operation of the ciphertext bits and yet we never had to give the cloud provider access to the full data key and we never gave the cloud provider access to the plaintext right and this is where we get all the security and reek ripped right the data key is going to be changing to a fresh data key with every pass and all of the ciphertext bits are going to be updated ok so this is going to give us the strongest security even in the model where attackers have old keys and they have access to these underlying data keys so it's gonna give us confidentiality it's gonna give us integrity and even in these really strong security models so that there's a couple of problems are a couple of gotchas here one trick is that we're using public key encryption schemes public key encryption schemes are naturally slower and we're applying them to the entire ciphertext body we're also updating all the ciphertext bits so instead of just flipping header bits where of course we're operating over a much larger data set and so it's gonna cost us something in performance ok up side we just fixed cloud encryption the downside is we're gonna need a lot of CPUs to do this all right so let's look at some numbers this is how we get performance and security trade-offs in the three encryption schemes I showed you today all right so for example we will look at encryption times for a 10 megabyte file using the simple envelope encryption technique right the technique we think everyone's using encryption is very fast right it takes like 90 milliseconds to do 10 megabytes right it's essentially it's it's not complete it's not zero but it's not really a noticeable amount of time the downside is the simple encryption technique doesn't give you security in most settings right you're not getting protection in this mix-and-match environment and you're not getting at any protection if attackers have access to the underlying key so KSS is better right there's no impact on performance because we're still doing the same symmetric encryption operations and we get protection in the weakest security models but we don't get protection in the strongest to get that with you something like recraft Buttrey crypt is really expensive public key operations are about a thousand times slower so 10 megabyte file is gonna take about 85 seconds to to encrypt right so a pi see I see people shrugging in the audience yeah eight and a half seconds per megabyte that is like that is not that's not inconsequential right the is if you have data that's really valuable we crypt actually gives you the security that you expect which is after a key rotation you recover security as if it was a fresh encryption okay so we're the takeaways from this right if you're a builder you should be using either KSS or recruit not the simple scheme depending on where you fall on this performance security trade-off and if you're a buyer you should know which scheme AWS or Google cloud is ideally if your buyer with a lot of money hopefully you can lean on a TRS and get them to expose exactly how they're doing this and prove to you that what they're doing is sufficient and with that guys thank you for your time we have tons of time I hope you have lots of questions so that so the question was did we look at any client-side tools that do the encryption before things are uploaded yes so we and all these schemes we're assuming the client is doing the initial encryption and then uploading to the cloud and then we want the cloud provider to do the the re encryption update does that answer the question okay other questions we got tons of time okay so the question is let's say you want to use the I'm repeating it for the stream the question is let's say you want to use the strongest form and you don't really think ahead to how many CPUs you have you know what are the problems you're going to run into there and especially like data corruption so on the cloud side you're probably going to be okay because in the cloud side you tend to be on server farms and you have lots of stuff data data corruption could be an issue it's an issue anytime you do this stuff but usually these usually these schemes have some built in like integrity checks so you check when you're done what's really going to hurt you actually is the client side stuff so the cloud the the updates are still expensive from the clients you're usually on underpowered devices you know and things like a laptop or a phone and you know 85 seconds to upload a handful of you know word doctor to the cloud you know from someone's laptop is often not it's not gonna be acceptable so depends on the setting yeah another question so no no so yeah so there are schemes you can imagine schemes we're like you're just applying layered encryption in the case of reclip the keys actually changing okay I have to repeat the question so the question was every time you do a rien ssin are you just lengthening the key so is it 85 seconds and then 90 seconds - 95 seconds so in the case of recraft that operation is actually like it's an addition and then modular the order of the group so the key size stays the same even though it's a new key but you can actually build updatable krypton where you're just wrapping right and then your key is now a sequence of keys and then decryption is like six times slower if you have six or encryptions we played around with these schemes but we feed them out because they were just so nobody wants performance like that yes yeah yes so this is how cryptographers do it right that first your hand and you place it on the whiteboard and some things you say are too stupid to keep to live so you keep moving yeah to understand this yeah okay so let me repeat the question so the first question is is the performance that performs the same for decrypt yeah so the slide only says encrypt but actually in all cases in encryption re-encrypt and decryption the times are almost exactly the same right so that 85 seconds is encrypt that's a problem because that's my laptop we encrypt ins also 85 seconds that's usually not an issue because it's a cloud I usually have lots of CPUs or at least I had plenty of time but the decryption is also at 85 seconds so I download and then sync to access a file that's that's really painful the second question was more resources I'll write a blog post for freshmen con so that'll have you know some of this detail in textual form and then also if you want to try your hand at security proofs you're welcome to look up this crypto paper it's called key rotation for authenticated encryption unfortunately it's fairly dense this is my attempt to to make it a little more accessible or you can also send me an email or send any of our co-authors an email we love talking about this stuff yeah all right tons of time any other questions yeah yeah so there's an interesting question so so the question was if I combined a scheme like a SS with an HSM does that mitigate the question all right does that mitigate the need to use recraft if you still have access to the underlying data key I haven't thought it through but I'm gonna guess if you still have access the underlying data key my guess is it's unlikely because most HSM operations don't actually decrypt the whole value right if you look into how like AWS uses kms they actually use they use these HSM but they use them to encrypt the data key and then they give you back the data key and they ask you to decrypt in CPU because they usually don't have like they can't ship that much data over the wire and they can't do that much decryption operations so in theory yes but I think in practice usually like a 4 kilobyte limit on these on these files other questions we got tons of time awesome hi Internet so what is the what is the process for can you run their back can you run there by making one more time yeah so this is a great question so what's the you know what's the process for you know doing backups for old versions we didn't look at anybody specific implementations so we essentially assume the worst we assume that most people keep around old copies especially if people have like if attackers have access savvy attackers may be saving old versions I actually I do happen to know I've read in KITT in AWS this documentation that they actually do usually keep old versions of keys laying around because sometimes when kinds do key rotation they still have old keys they still need to rotate back so in some cases we even have to do key rotation that all these old headers are sitting around somewhere just to make sure in case you need them other questions all right

119 some scholars have questioned Jesus of the Zheng Xian Juwan based on textual inconsistencies particularly with jeez Bob Uzi Nepean Arthur waley doubted that Jae Hong wrote both the Bao koozie inner chapter 16 TR where 1966 -

171 Cole Minami hypothesized that Chongqing school editors revised the Sheng Jian Shuang from Gia's original text to emphasize their belief in external powers but penny 1996 to 173 finds commune amis evidence unconvincing both for the existence of n original and its stance on the attained ability of immortality company faults arguments against je Hong's authorship of the Sheng Jian Shuang for committing two fallacies one is the fallacy of textual holism the assumption that if one or a small number of passages are problematic then the overall attribution of authorship must be an error the other fallacy is that of an assumption of consistency that texts by a single author whenever they were written during his lifetime must have originally been completely consistent in their values and priorities as well as in how they handle specific figures techniques and events 2002 -

138 and Magisterial heart 2004 - 486 company's book is more than a critical annotated translation it is also a painstaking reconstruction of the textual strata he analyzed Sheng Jian Shuang quotations in some 40 sources dating from the 5th to 17th centuries and chronologically Rhee compiled them into three groups group they are biographies fully attested in works until the end of the Tang Dynasty 618 - 907 Group B are those only mentioned in these sources and Group C are those ascribed to the Sheng Jian Shuang only since the Song Dynasty 9 601 to 79 reviewers have criticised some of company's translations for disregarding conventions eg traditions version biographies noted above for instance 2002 252 -

TT_9Lbug2lM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT_9Lbug2lM	Potomac Ordains Female LGBTQ Advocate	it is not with pleasure that I report that on March 16 2024 the ptoa conference president Charles tap along with other conference officers with the complicity of the Columbia Union ordained to the gospel Ministry of the 7th the Aven Church female LGBT Ally and Advocate Joanne corz indeed any ordained minister employed by the North American Division present and laying hands on sister cortis at this service has violated their trust as an ordained minister and it doesn't matter if they work in the NAD office they should be dismissed from service if they can't follow what the world church has agreed the church has several times voted at the highest level of global representation in general conference session not to permit the ordination of women to the gospel Ministry and yet as of March 2024 there have been no substantive consequences for these actions as far as we know nothing is being done no action is being taken to prevent these ungodly changes in faith practice these are acts of rebellion exactly contradicting the spirit-led decisions of the global body what else could we call them in denomination after denomination we have seen that theologically women's ordination and lgbtq advocacy go together uh listen to the following excerpts drawn from just one just one 33 minute presentation by portess a couple of years ago is this person an ally an advocate for lgbtq what do you think God created each one of us with a desire to connect in order to build relationships so we can discover God who God is through each other you know and each one of us which is beautiful is created in God's image amen and through each person we get to see a glimpse of who God is regardless of our background ethnicity socioeconomic status our gender language religion beliefs sexual orientation geography culture and education through each one we get to see a glimpse of who God is God intentionally made us different to reveal different aspects of God's nature so we can experience and learn to appreciate the vastness of who God is well we all have biases whether you agree or not and many times they are implicit or unconscious biases of which we're unaware of you know these are thoughts that we have about age about religion about weight appearance disabilities accents yeah where's my oie ACC right it's in there accents and gender identity sexuality single parents stay-at-home moms and dads gays transgender people with tattoos and piercings and so much more you know we all have personal thoughts and inclinations regarding everything in life which arise from our background our experiences from media from privilege or cultural conditioning so we all have biases you know you can also see these biases when you show favoritism when you have a tendency to show favoritism to a certain group of people over another and perhaps it could be because of the color of their skin or maybe the idea that certain roles apply to a specific gender how many times have we rejected people because of tattoos jewelry they were wearing jeans instead of a suit perhaps too much makeup they were gay transgender and we never really tried to get to know them or connect with them because we thought that upholding standards of perfection were more vital and supreme than making room for an individual that did not meet our expectations different now don't get me wrong all right there are some traditions that are good but if there is a tradition that excludes or makes someone feel out of place and not welcomed guys that tradition has to be set aside because people are more important guys we got to be more like Jesus and our church needs to be more like Jesus you see Jesus values all people regardless of background gender sexuality status and ethnicity so much so that he was willing to leave Heaven the comfort of heaven and set aside tradition right of being King to come to this earth in human form to die for you and me and then rise again so everyone all people can have freedom and have eternal life I grew up hearing that church was a place for Sinners haven't we all right yet those who belong to the lgbtq plus Community well they had to let go of their sins first before they could come to church or be a part of church and I never really understood that but I never really saw thinking back I never really saw anyone in our church who was lgbtqia you know of course they weren't allowed or perhaps they had to disguise who they were hide who they were out of fear of not belonging yet anytime I heard someone reference you know lesbian gay bisexual transgender or queer I could sense people getting really uncomfortable like if being gay is a contagious disease and we could not possibly allow these people into church and this was sad years later I I met a gentleman who had a heart for making people smile he was an older gentleman who wasn't married and didn't have kids and I thought well maybe he just didn't find the right person you know timing I don't know but it wasn't until many months later after following me on social media and getting a glimpse of who I was through my post and knowing I was a safe person did he have the courage to write to me and tell me he was a transgender woman you see she had been born a man yet always believed she was born in the wrong body she went to church her entire life and loved Jesus with all her heart yet could not tell anyone secret for fear of being rejected she had Suicidal Thoughts depression anxiety her whole life and it wasn't until she found a loving Community not the church that accepted her for who she was was she able to slowly begin to heal and you know she still struggles going to church because she has to cover up and hide who she is so people are not uncomfortable so people won't cast her out mistreat her and reject her she still goes to church because she loves her church she loves God but she has to hide who she is and this breaks my heart because we would rather remain comfortable with like-minded people than open outd doors to allow people from all walks of life life to commune with us that's just too uncomfortable and as a result we have become irrelevant stuck within the fall walls of our churches unable to connect effectively with people who are different because it makes us uncomfortable to sit next to someone whose sexuality is different to mine it makes us uncomfortable to sit next to someone whose gender identity I don't understand whose story requires me to truly listen and empathize with and doing this could change my point of view so I'd rather be comfortable you know as a church at times we would rather work hard towards guarding our comfortable space that which we think secures our Salvation rather than be the hands and feet and Heart of Jesus to those in our community and as a result guys we have kept people out and God as well for too long too long we have prioritized prioritized comfortable over connection and it is time this changes number six learn how to be an ally for those who have been marginalized and advocate for them like Jesus would another practical way welcome change be open to doing something different where you can meet different people and have different experiences change helps you you to grow number 10 don't limit what God can do through you and through others guys God can use anyone a woman in leadership just like a man so yes empathy is important that's why the forces opposed to God wield it so effectively against those who want to love we want to love right and so this is used as a weapon against us you know men and women are constituted emotionally differently and I think we've just heard from somebody who's not holding the Bible line here and is the GC complicit in This Woman's ordination now what substantive action have they taken in any way I'm I'm open in any way to prevent this by the way remember too that not only the general conference officers but the North American Division officers are also GC officers if the general conference which effectively has been granted policing responsibility on behalf of the Global membership if they refuse to hold the line who will if a nation refuses to police its own borders that Nation will cease to exist as a distinct people the same is true for God's church if we countenance the ordination of just any person to the gospel Ministry how will God bless us with depth of Bible commitment as a people how will the church not descend into the same kind of platitudinal theology that you just heard heard from Cortez a word about Fallen men rather than a word about the holy God is the church just becoming a secular priesthood an echo chamber for the narratives of secular ideologies uh are do we need really to copy all the other things that come down to us uh why don't we copy from God's word the truths that are there why are we copying the work of God's enemy the scriptures are pling upon the relations and rights of men and women now I have wish to dishearten or demoralize anyone but I ask in Earnest when will this lethargy this inaction cease and godly action be taken by those in responsible positions how long O Lord how long oh [Music] Lord	Larry the guy from Michigan	UCXGSWFpL8sZfXEc1skaeD4Q	2024-03-19	Creative

interest you'll pay over the life of the loan for example a larger down payment on a $30,000 car loan with a 4.5% interest rate would significant if iFly decrease the total interest cost you pay over the life of the loan number two lower monthly payments a larger down payment means you'll have a smaller loan balance which typically results in lower monthly payments this can make the ongoing cost of owning the car more manageable within your budget number three avoid negative equity that evil little devil that it is if you make a down payment that's less than 20% of the car's value you risk becoming financially upside down on your loan this means you owe more than the car is worth which can be a significant issue if you decide to sell the car before the loan is paid off as you would have to pay the difference between the sale price and the remaining loan balance number four reduced depreciation impact cars depreciate rapidly friends often losing 20% of their value in the first year a reasonable down payment can minimize the financial impact of this depreciation ensuring that you're not paying a loan balance that's significantly higher than the value of the car number five expert recommendations experts often recommend a down payment of at least 20% on the cost of the vehicle to reap these benefits and maintain a healthy financial situation regarding your car purchase and that advice is consistent with everything we believe here at the Homer Guide channel in conclusion besides putting 20% cash down we always recommend that you pay the sales tax out of pocket including the state fees for licensing and registration always do that paying these costs out of your own pocket and putting a proper cash down payment helps you avoid higher interest costs reduces your monthly payments protects you against negative equity and mitigates the effects of depreciation on your investment not to mention that the right amount of cash down also makes it completely unnecessary to buy that overpriced dealer Gap policy $1,000 saved right there Ching next let's tackle the issue of financing and if you are planning on getting a car loan how much of your income you should allocate to your upcoming car payments before we dive into this discussion on car payments I want to reinforce our past advice that you should not go into a dealership with a payment goal in mind definitely not a goal that you share with your salesman if you do that your entire negotiation conversation will be all about payments and you'll get burned using an online car payment calculator from home to determine how much car you can buy based on total cost to accomplish the payment goal you're after and have that out the door number in your head not a monthly payment it's the total price that you should be concerned with the general recommendation on monthly car payments from Financial experts varies here's some advice based on multiple sources that we use number one the typical range suggested is between 10 and 15% of your monthly income this should cover the principle interest and insurance payments for your car number two some experts suggest keeping the car payment below 15% of your monthly income to maintain a healthy Financial balance number three a more conservative recommendation is to spend no more than 10% of your monthly take-home pay on your car payment because the payment is only a portion of the actual cost the car costs include gas insurance and maintenance and that should not exceed 15 to 20% of your monthly income in total recently we shared a lot of considerations that go into car ownership cost with this video 13 hidden costs of car ownership check it out if you need more information or you missed it number five edmonds.com states that up to 20% of your take-home pay is acceptable but again a more conservative approach would limit it to 10% of your gross income when it comes to car payments at the homework guy we lean towards playing it conservative Our advice is that to shoot for payments that are no more than 10% of gross income so other costs of ownership we've talked about are accounted for even if you fail to do the math right it's important to note that these are General guidelines and your individual circumstances can vary so it might be necessary for you to adjust these percentages based on your own personal financial

lipstick and show you some dupes that I have discovered I did a little research because this pillow talk is my absolute favorite lipstick this is an iconic lipstick that is all over YouTube and I can certainly see why I tried lots of different nudes and none of them really looked good on me I was very used to those kind of middle aged berry colored lipsticks which are still nice but after looking at noon afternoon and just feeling like they either washed me out or they looked orange or they looked wear a pink I realized that this Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk was absolutely my favorite color of a nude lipstick it's a wonderful rosy colored nude and it is used by many of the movie stars because it is just a universal type color and everyone loves it now if you're not a subscriber and you're interested in all things you think that is if you're 30 40 50 and above and interested in makeup and good skincare then I hope you'll consider subscribing and when you click that little bell that just notifies you of my twice weekly videos and if you could give this video a thumbs up I would appreciate that too okay let's get into this this is the new one I just bought and it was an ouchy because it is $32 and I think this is my fourth tube and I go through this very quickly because I tend to wear it every single day so I thought why not look for some duplicates or dupes as they call it on YouTube and share the information with you and I think I found some good ones okay now I'm in a little bit closer so you can see my lips I'm going to go ahead and apply the Charlotte Tilbury color talk lipstick the Matt Revolutions lipstick just on the bottom lip there we go there is how that looks now I'm going to apply the for dupes one after the other and we'll see how well they match the first one is this flower beauty petal pout lipstick in the color spiced petal absolutely love this one and there it is right next to the pillow-talk and as you can see they look very very similar and I'll just apply it on the top here there we go now the flower beauty is on the top and it is $6.99 I believe so very reasonable and the pillow-talk is on the bottom which is $32 hint although I'm a little challenged on my top lip I'll try to do a little pout for you so you can see the difference I don't think you can tell much difference in the colors at all and here are the two swatch side by side as you can see the flower Beauty is perhaps a little bit Pinker and the Charlotte Tilbury is a little bit more orange but they're very similar in color and in terms of how they feel they both feel absolutely creamy and buttery on the lips and I've worn this flower beauty lipstick quite a few times and it lasts a long time too now I've removed the lipstick from my top lip ready for my next dupe and this one is only $4.99 and it's the essence ultra last lipstick in the color Oh eternal beauty and I'll show you those two side-by-side they look very similar and this is the dupe here and I'll go ahead and apply it on the top and again it's a rosy little nude color so there is how they look with the $4.99 essence on top in the $32 Charlotte Tilbury on the bottom and here is how they swatch and you can see all three that we've seen so far the Charlotte Tilbury the flower beauty and then the essence product they all look very very similar and I really do like these essence lipsticks in fact just as well as the flower Beauty ones I was about to say they're among some of my favorite drugstore lipsticks but actually I think they give even high-end lipsticks a run for their money they're creamy they're soft they're subtle and they last a long time now my next lipstick is $22 it's getting up there a little bit in price but still not nearly as expensive as the Charlotte Tilbury it's only two thirds the price of that it's the Too Faced natural nudes lipstick and pout about it that's an interesting color pout about it but I'll show it to you right next to the Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk very very similar in color I'll go ahead and apply this one there we go there they are the dupe is on the top the pillow talk is on the bottom and I'll show you a swatch of it there it is added to the other swatches and in the swatches the pillow talk is the first swatch and this is the fourth one and really I almost think of all the colors this one may be the closest now the last dupe that I have is $21 and it's the smashbox be legendary lipstick in the color do no wrong now here it is and i'll show it to you right next to the charlotte tilbury lipstick to the pillow-talk and as you can see it does look a little bit rosier on the skin then the pillow-talk which is the very first one however some of you out there actually prefer a more rosy tone lipstick rather than the more coral lipstick here but i'll go ahead and put it on my lips for you because on the lips I really think you can't tell much of a difference this one perhaps looks just a little bit lighter on the lips but it goes on thick and creamy and lasts a long time just like it's do now Here I am back in the Charlotte Tilbury and I would say that really any of these I would be happy with as a dupe and they really all feel about the same on the lips rich and creamy and very long-lasting I think you could use any of these very reliably as a great dupe for the pillow talk and I will say I also use the Charlotte Tilbury lip liner in pillow talk and they call this the lip cheat and I do have a dupe for that and I will show you first how this swatches on the skin there it is that's how the pillow talk swatches I make that a little bit wider very very nice long lasting lip liner there it is and on the internet other youtubers say that this Rimmel exaggerate in the color East End snob is a good do however I don't really think it is I'll show it to you I think it's too pink there it is there is the pillow talk and there is the East End snob so now I'll show you a lip liner that I found that I think is an even better dupe than the East End snob and this is the essence self contouring lip liner in the color lost in love good color and I'll put it on this side I've got some lipstick there there we go there is the lost in love there is the pillow-talk and there is the East End snob and I think this is a much better liner and I'll go ahead and use this one on the top the dupe on the top my lips are getting kind of raw and none all this lipstick putting on and taking off and as you can see that blends in very nicely with the pillow-talk now I'll use the Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat on the bottom of these two although I think this one works just fine if you can spring for the 22 dollar one I think this is really much better it just glides on your lips much more smoothly and I think it gives a very nice definition to it in fact I think I'll go ahead and use this one on the top to finish out the video so that is how the pillow-talk lipstick looks with its lip cheat matching lip liner and I absolutely love this and if you are looking for a nude lipstick you might try the pillow-talk or about any of those dupes because I think you'll be very very satisfied well that was a look at how to get the look of this iconic charlotte tilbury pillow-talk lipstick for less than half the price in some cases and if you're interested in saving money on all things anti-aging I do a lot of high-end but also a lot of low-end drugstore type products here and I hope you subscribe and when you click that little bell that just notifies you of my twice weekly videos okay I always like to leave you with a little thought for the day and today is no exception I've been using these language of letting go cards for melody Beatty okay let's see what God has in store for us to think about for today ooh staying neutral staying neutral that's intriguing today I will refuse to jump into the middle of others affairs issues and relationships I will trust others to work out their own problems including the ideas and feelings they want to communicate to each other o friends this is an absolutely wonderful card not only does it tell us to get her big fat and hoses out of the lives of other people it also tells us that when they're communicating and working their problems out not to jump in just to sit back be quiet and let them take care of their own problem in my first-half whenever anyone around me seemed to be having problems for some reason I guess I was playing God I felt like I was the one that would come to the rescue and fix their problem and in my second half I've realized that I have plenty on my plate just tending to my own affairs so friends just for today let's consciously think about staying on our own side of the fence when we hear the confrontations or problems of others taking place around us let's just sit back and keep our mouths shut and let them resolve their own problems themselves because when we do that usually they're happier and we're happier to take care see you next time	FiftyPlusBeauty	UC56oWj1NoeVBucf9ijPWeDg	2019-01-23	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,805	9,105

LdTDjeMVvrY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdTDjeMVvrY	How Much Sugar Is Too Much?	next question is from billy b3 how much sugar day is too much anything over 27.25 you know what's funny about this that's close to a number i used to try and keep my clients yeah 25 was the number it depends on the person but i i will say this here's what the studies will actually show the the amount of sugar that you eat doesn't really matter as much as if it when your calories are low especially if you're in a deficit if you're in a deficit sugar doesn't have like this crazy negative effect it's when you're in this calorie surplus that you start to see problems with lots of sugar now that being said i will say this sugar in my experience with clients does stimulate the appetite in a particular in a very interesting way so if i have a client that's like hey i read the studies it's funny because lane likes to to actually counter that argument he doesn't but my experience is not like that now i know it's usually sugar in combination with fat that causes the you know the palatability and all that stuff but in my experience i've had clients who've done this they're like hey look these were these were like doctors who read the studies like cell in this study it showed that high sugar low calorie blood markers improve there was no difference between that and a diet that was low in sugar and i said okay give it a shot and let me know how you feel and sure enough they came back and like yeah my appetite is all over the place and it's harder for me to eat lower calories than when i eat more complex carbohydrates and more fats and proteins so that's the one thing i will say but you know sugar in a high calorie in the context of a high calorie diet can have some pretty inflammatory effects uh in a lot of people and cause maybe potential issues with insulin uh resistance do you guys have any experience my experience with my clients with this is that if i'm if i'm um coaching a competitor who's weighing and measuring and tracking their food um so long as we stay within their parameters and the guidelines i give them then allowing them to have sugar in the diet is no big deal so long as they're following their parameters and they're sticking to that if i am trying to teach a client to kind of intuitively intuitively eat or just change some behaviors one of the first go-to things i do is actually cut back almost all sugar intake because i find that when i don't do that clients do tend to overeat what what what the mechanism that does that i can't tell you i can't tell you exactly what's happening that causes people to do that it's just i've experienced that with so many things and myself enough times that i just like if i allow a little bit of sugar in my in my diet whether it be just like i decide let's say um you know yesterday i was moving around a lot and i could totally afford to have that you know 300 calories of sour patch candy and i haven't had something like that in forever and i have that something that i can guarantee happen is that night all of a sudden i want ice cream or the next day all of a sudden i want a soda like it my cravings change the minute i introduce it into into my diet now i start to crave that and it just and it doesn't mean that i can't it doesn't mean i can't get buff still or get shredded and still insert those things in the diet it just makes it harder for me it's like now i have this other thing that i have to do it's already hard enough to restrict calories and stay in this this calorie intake and exercise on a regular basis oh now when i allow sugar to occasionally come in there now i'm also battling this craving thing that i know versus when i eliminate it and i stick to all whole foods and i don't have any the only sugar i'm getting is from from natural sources like fruit whole fruit yes not fruit juice it's right when i if i'm only getting there i don't battle these things and the moment that i allowed in there even if my calories are low and it's not going to affect me and put fat on my body now i'm battling that craving again and so for me that's enough to coach clients when i'm teaching them hey let's if that's not something you have to have in the diet let's get rid of that [ __ ] yeah for me i mean it's it's just a behavior thing it's it's something that you know evolutionary we've been hardwired to be rewarded like that that signal is is a massive loud signal of reward and it's it's like you know once you introduce that signal uh you know it's just a natural response of like wanting to introduce that back and like keep that into the routine uh because it's it's something that's just hardwired wise like it's we're gonna be fighting that a lot that that response and so it's it's a very strong uh signal and and regardless of this like this nuanced talk that you know a lot of people get in this debate on whether or not it's bad for you or it's toxic or you know it leads to all these diseases whatever all that stuff like granted like calories are a big you know proponent of this is in terms of like it having more weight you know if you're over your calorie limit and having sugar in there it's probably more you know of a problem than you know if you're under calories and it's in there but at the end of the day behaviorally like this is just something that you're just gonna continually fight and it could you know like take over a majority of what you're consuming the other thing it changes the way fruits and vegetables taste for me that's the other thing i don't like about it so if i allow let's say i always kept my calories under my you know my maintenance um so i'm losing body fat but i every day i eat sour patch kids in there my apple and my vegetables taste different they do not have the same taste as if i were to have no added sugar into my diet and then i eat those things so part of why i don't like it either was i remember the first time that i cut sugar out for an extended period of time and then actually bit into an apple you know or had some asparagus like that the food the food actually tastes richer to me when i'm not adding any sugar if i'm letting sugar in the diet on a regular basis it changes my palate yeah the sweet the perception of sweet is very powerful and it it can definitely you definitely build a tolerance to it don't you um and everybody experiences this again if you eat lots of sugar you'll find that sweet in fact uh artificial sweeteners are several hundred or thousands of times sweeter than sugar and i've worked with enough clients who have lots of artificial sweeteners and prefer the flavor of them to sugar because it's actually sweeter i've actually had people tell me that they drink a soda with sugar it doesn't taste as good as the diet coke and i think it has to do with my personal opinions that have to do with that perception of of sweetness i mean evolutionarily speaking justin you know sugar in its natural forms was probably pretty rare okay so finding lots of fruit not that you actually planted and i'm talking about before agriculture when for most of the time humans were on earth pretty rare that you'd walk around and find a apple growing or some berries and by the way the apples and berries and fruit that we have today has been modified and bred to be much higher in sugar apples were full of seeds there was very little meat you know strawberries looked very different size too by the way yeah and they weren't nearly as sweet we i mean carrots near not nearly as sweet like everything was not nearly as sweet so it was one of those things that was we just didn't get a lot of i mean honey maybe but honey you had to go kill like battle a bunch of bees in order to get to it and if you look at you know modern hunter-gatherers it's a big deal to get honey it's just not something you see quite common and but it's but it's a very quick source of energy so it makes sense that it would trigger these behaviors in us or these feelings that we we're going to go seek it out because it's a very you know quick source of energy so that's that's for me i see that it changes people's behaviors but the studies do show that all the negative effects that come from sugar if your calories are low and you're getting adequate protein and fat not nearly as big of a difference when your calories are high though high sugar plus high calorie is problematic that starts to look like it causes lots of problems and the people i find that are most staunch about defending sugar have are addicted to it that's i swear to god yeah it's like you know they have products they're trying to sell that have elections like what i see i like lane always talks about this stuff right so he he's he defends sugar a lot because how many people have demonized it right which i'm not pro that either right i'm not pro demonizing sugar either but making people aware of its uh addictive properties or how it could change the cravings or change your palate i think it's very important and the people that get behind them like yeah [ __ ] those guys and then you click on this thing and there's like videos of them doing sour patch kids and dead lifts like dude you're so funny you know or donuts every single day it's like you people want to just it's like the whole squatting thing like telling people not to squat i hate that i don't like that messaging and i remember when we first met lane that was one of the things that we would challenge him a lot on is that it's not that i think he's wrong i actually he's right what he's saying is right but i also come from the place of training a lot of peop regular people that are trying to create better behaviors in their life and could you do it with having sugar added sugar and candy every once in a while absolutely is it going to be more difficult [ __ ] yes it will be yeah yeah usually the people eat a lot of sugar are not getting it from whole fruit are they yeah they're getting it from from other things and i tell you what it definitely feels different to eat 70 grams of processed sugar in candy or in a soda than having a you know starch 70 grams of starchy carbohydrates it feels different on the body i think most people would agree with that it gives you totally different feeling you like the information in

0p7uYlP91Ng	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p7uYlP91Ng	Princeton Tiger Lax Press Conference vs Maryland Final Four 2022	sure um you know credit to an outstanding maryland team um capitalized on every mistake we made a heck of a team uh very well coached but very very proud obviously these two men sitting next to me our senior class uh group that that brought us back to this weekend uh very proud for our program so um obviously didn't work out the way we wanted but very happy to be here okay you take questions for the student athletes first uh we have two microphone holders uh please raise your hand if you have a question identify who you are when you get the microphone and for uh people on uh zoom if you have a question please raise your virtual hand and we'll try to call on you as well so anybody who has a front row yes kyle franco with the trentonian george um so much of the momentum you guys had created in 2020 could have been stunted by the pandemic so many guys took the euro off and then came back um do you feel like you would put princeton lacrosse sort of back on that national stage now yeah i'd like to i'd like to think so i'm just so proud of these guys we you know fought through all the university of the pandemic and it's just a credit to our staff all of our upperclassmen everyone just staying together finding a way to get it done and then we came back in september we just committed to it uh believing in each other we were unranked uh we come out finished with the final four uh you know i'd say success for either of you guys just look the way the first quarter unfolded you guys have dealt with them before what was different this time kind of them pouncing quick and just how did you feel like you guys were able to recover and kind of stay in it there for quite a while longer uh um i mean i think like you mentioned we've kind of been there before we've been through a lot of up and downs kind of been all over the place this season and and we have we have all the trust in the world and each other and just a nice play and i think that kind of mentality let's get back in the game and keep going thank you for both players just talk about this right one more things on the screen you know i think one of the biggest things for us was those two came to you lost to harvard and cornell we came back we called it upgrade season the coach did a great job getting us prepared and so coming back and just playing with the newfound intensity physicality uh just you know trusting that even though we lost those two games you're gonna come back and make a run so that's something i look back on and uh just something really special yeah i think there's a lot of little moments um between like little things that our strength coach did the day before like to get us fired up for like an injured guy putting up like posters and every person's vlogger like before our first game and things like that i'll look back too i'd never forget just the support staff but the guys from like the last on the depth chart to the first one were so bought in and it was incredible did the delay of the game do anything for your preparation take anything away or add any anxiety to what happened today uh no i mean i think uh again it was just kind of another role with the punches kind of thing you aren't going through um a pandemic you kind of expect anything can happen and that's something i think kind of talking about grew up it made us more ready to face any adversity big or small any other questions for student athletes okay gentlemen thanks for joining us today congratulations on a great season and now we'll take a question from coach madden hey matt patrick stevens um when they got the three-minute non-release well you get the one quick goal and weren't able to get anything wrong was that you think kind of a pivotal moment for you guys we just weren't able to attack on at that stage i think obviously very fortunate uh they ended up calling that three-minute locking it in kind of gave us an opportunity to claw back in and field was kind of tilted at that point uh towards the turks delay so remember the punch went in get a little momentum a little slow out of the start and then we ended up taking into the third quarter to avoid the face-off battle start with possession see if we can get something going um defense did a great job change the shutoff um floating shut so very well coached team i'm back hi coach uh tony wheeler from integrating sports um you guys were real slow to slide today was that the goal to try and take over the ball movement and just force the turf speech guys one-on-one you know i do think so i think we tried to be multiple on our defensive packages we did start a little slow um it is an outstanding ball movement team um i don't know if they're the number one assist team in the country but if not they're up there so um definitely one of their strengths uh trying to limit their strengths all day um so yeah you're spot on we were a little slow to slide early a little sloppy and some more defensive decisions early on they really make you pay for your mistakes bring the front row matt coming off the pandemic year and then really not having a season you know like that did you think you were starting over in a way yeah we kind of thought we had it all figured out we sat there as fans for a year and i don't know if it's challenge it's always challenging when you're watching lacrosse to just be a fan in my seat i think we're always trying to study the game so i think as coaches we took an opportunity to to figure it all out we thought we had it all figured out kind of rolled into the fall um played the ball scrimmages realized we did not have it figured out we were still kind of moving our moving our pieces around even early in the spring moving pieces around i don't think we had a consistent lineup defensively all year i think we really did move guys in and out we had injuries here there so um credit to our guys you know our coaches preparing our depth guys uh they did a really nice job front row pretty sure uh coach obviously you know this one's things but you know you have a ton to be proud of this season and you know just building off of this uh how hopeful are you for the future of princeton lacrosse and you know just getting back to championship weekend uh you know where this whole experience means to your team very hopeful i mean you know i i was fortunate enough again and i this has nothing to do with me i don't want to make it about me and i'm fortunate enough to have this experience as a player and i saw just how it impacted when that next team returned the expectations the standards um the ability to to understand how to truly practice and really not you know you can't really have you can't really waste days you can't really make those mistakes so hopefully it does hopefully you know the toughness and the leadership of this senior class um that carried us for this opportunity to this weekend um will really have a lasting impact on the program and i think it will i think it does burn for those young guys all those young guys walking off the field you know throwing the coaches pound saying hey coach we'll get you back we'll be back here um so i think it's just that that experience has got to pay dividends moving forward front row what does what was it like from this perspective it was wonderful i mean look to the guys to the left and right of me you know coach jim mitchell coach jeremy hirsch um our volunteer coach chris islanian our director of operations drew cottrell our strength coach mark ellison our strength your equipment guy you know derek our trainer george o'neill i mean it's it's an incredible crew so for everyone to have this experience um i think it'll continue to drive us forward just trying to earn this opportunity for our guys again we have any questions for coach i appreciate your coverage all

FXJ013N6qIo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXJ013N6qIo	Tytan RE-Play's \| Resident Evil \| #5 The Guard House	hey guys and welcome back to a resident evil when we last left off we were exploring the guard house so let's continue we did manage to slip past Ian and on top of that we also managed the seemingly impossible task of putting down about a thousand dogs which was not too bad actually from being honest now this is a little bit interesting because we have lots more Harold's now what can oh god what concerns me about these holes now for science if we push this any further we're gonna get grabbed right no we're not okay so we need to put this over that I ok I don't know [Music] apparently I do not have a pen on my desk which I find fairly hard to believe but they are nice a situation we find ourselves it okay well sub the book then right [Music] yep I was gonna say I know there's all dear I know there's zombies in here come on you little bastard around the corner there you go lovely have some bullets not bad last magazine the last two thirds of the magazine hey friend come in the corner then we introduce you some nine millimeter nine millimeters of fun oh he's gone he's down he's down if we could find some bullets that would be pretty good to be fair pretty sure that was ammo in this room at some point but I guess not now wait this isn't this is it this isn't the guardhouse is it it's called something else no is the guardhouse okay right nothing unusual okay now this desk should have something shotgun shells I'm gonna say yeah okay so we still got the shotgun shells from there which is fine and we would kind of like if we was playing the normal version of the game this would be round about where the shotgun would come into play and the handgun would be pretty much obsolete at this point now okay all right the bathtub is filled muddy water will you unplug it I I will and I shall investigate said bathtub and is the key in the bath nothing in the bathtub what really ok it says nothing in this room is so interesting hmm so apart from some shotgun shells there was nothing in this dormitory at all right that's fair I suppose right let's have a little look in here there should be some stuff in here I know there was a handgun magazine they leave in here before there's still the spiders that's cool Oh that's in a new place yes we will say the red book for sure we need that there should be like it's in hang um bullets or something in here I'm gonna reset the position of the spider because we don't want none of his business we don't want no nonsense from him today at least out here is relatively safe I guess right that spiders just chillin up there that's fine waiting there's nothing here seriously it's broken yeah all right so this is what we need it looks like a clock dial 9 5 8 some kind of code yes now I will forget that so we're gonna go from 9 5 8 if I can get my app working 9 nine five eight there we go right okay one second guys our back guys right sorry but uh so what was our thing you what's it it looks like a clock dial nine five eight and I have found a pen last I have been gone yes a pen right let's get out of there we have what we needed we could kill these guys but there's literally no point it would probably wouldn't end too well for us to be honest with you right now can we push this I guess so yes we can I was expecting tentacles but I guess we're not getting tentacles am I being paranoid about nothing maybe interesting so do you not get the tentacles coming out of these other broken cracks ha interesting stuff right let's get to the meat and potatoes of this area so we've got two doors uh is that still herbes up here now that door needs a key there is still hopes up here that's three hubs here you bet believe I'm gonna take all of these herbs because it would be a little bit silly to leave them behind should we say so scoop all those herbs up Joe maybe we're gonna keep some of those herbs maybe baby I don't know right good stuff I've got plenty of shotgun shells for this bit so okay for now just to drop off because I'm kind of a little bit loaded I mean it's nice to have all these items spaces it really is but we do seem to be burning through them quite fast mainly with herbs to be honest with you all right let's just drop this stuff off doesn't take too long so why they're not oh and I also found an easy way to sort out my recording aspect ratio so we can actually have the correct aspect ratio now it's not perfect but it works and that's all we can ask for the end of the day Redbook we're gonna hold on to shotgun shells no you think look at all these herbs and health we have so half of our inventory now is full of health which is pretty juicy not gonna lie now we have an ass-ton of shotgun shells which is nice we have 42 shotgun shells now in as I said before this is where you would really drop the beretta and never use it again but unfortunately we're not gonna get that lucky in this difficulty I don't think we're gonna have Dom bees and hunters out the ass later on we're gonna keep our Brett with us for now because four rounds usually would be pointless but considering we've got that critical hit chance we're gonna keep a tight grip on it there now okay let's get the [ __ ] out there we keep coasts where can we go this doors locks isn't it yeah locks plate says Oh to this one we can go through for sure we should have a key by now but obviously we don't there's no zombies in here which is pretty standard now that clock we examined earlier that's what we want here we want will you push the keys yes and it was nine five eight there we go that puzzle I actually think is way harder in the remake but I could be very wrong I can't remember I really want to do the remake again but obviously we can't because the remake is quite a way away now we could make the video here but the game won't let us because we haven't read the file on the video so now there is a key up here with these wasps or bees or whatever the hell they are dormitory keys we can spray those in the remake but obviously we're not going to worry about those too much so this should be double zero yes it is that was there too all right now this is a bit of a spicy room through here and here come the bees Wesker put those locked down soon I thought you needed a key for that yeah West's gonna come down later and put all these bees down wasps down whatever the [ __ ] they are Hornets tea Hornets yes the tea Hornets that's what we took cool from now right that's the wrong way Jill Jill you've only been in this place for a hot minute and you've already forgotten your way around look all the vines and everything in this place damn almost as if a certain big plant somewhere had starts to take control oh yeah I'm just speculating who knows right let's go open the door slowly like now there's definitely some zombies in here I reckon no okay I guess not I mean the desk is locked so we'll have a little look in there ah some more shotgun shells I mean yeah sure I guess I wouldn't have said no to a hanger magazine to be honest with you but that's fine we also have the dormitory sketch we'll have that - very nice and we have some blurb here to read plant 42 reports four days have passed since the accident and the plan at point 42 is growing amazingly fast it has been affected by the t-virus differently than the other plants have been and shows unique shape in addition to hits sighs looking at the way it behaves it is now difficult to determine what kind of plant it was originally there are two ways in which plant 42 gathers nutrition the first is through its route that reaches into the basement immediately after the accident a scientist went mad and broke the water tank in the basement oh dear now the basement is filled with water and it's easily imaginable that some chemical elements were blended in the water and promotes the incredibly fast growth of plant 42 another part of plant 42 from the basement grows through another part of plant 42 from the basement grows through the duct and hangs down like so many bulbs from the ceiling of the first floor many vines come out of those bulbs and they're the second source for its nutrition one sense once sensing movement plant 42 shoots its vines around the prey and holds it then it starts sucking up blood using the suckers located on the back of its vines it also has some intelligence it blocks the door bite or our twining it's vines around especially when it's captured prey or it's sleeping plant sleeping several staff members have already fallen victim to this ok it sounds like a pretty nasty bit of vegetation I'm gonna have to be a little bit careful watch out for that we still have not got a key or anything so we only have one room left now this room did have a Moen I think originally all to Zets not expecting to Zed's oh okay I was definitely expecting one but two right so there's the other dormitory key very nice stuff didn't really want to spend two cartridges here not when we still have some ammo in the beretta I mean the beretta is almost totally obsolete now because it's almost empty but that's okay that's good it's all gravy baby so gravy because we've got a shotgun yes yes we'll come back here we're definitely gonna come back and go to the actual ring below they don't call it the acro ring in this game today it's the remake mmm the aqua ring was a really [ __ ] cool bit actually the remake of this game is superb it's like the perfect remake it adds so much what's keeping the core gameplay fantastic stuff now I know there was a magazine in here one of these dormitories which we have not found and pretty sure there was one in the pool bar area as well but guess that's been moved to in here I'm pretty sure they used to be fire ammo and there's definitely one zombie that's a pretty rough bastard to dodge unless you got the shotgun yeah okay well that's not changed anything else flame realms is pretty [ __ ] zom the flame rounds aren't very good against zombies they yeah but they are pretty good against hunters in the like nothing major about this washed and I was cool we GOP is in that I think special it's a toilet would you expect it's very nice toilet actually dust collects inside you know it's kind of making me think of my bathroom really except my bathrooms are white our house is very old and I mean very old oh god we've got zombies and I have a message from her all right that's good that's my friend Neal I shall have to get back to him in a minute Oh zombie oh no we didn't we did I was hoping on the last shot we could get a nice head pop that would have been a pretty special moment to enjoy together right so can we open this desk as well desk is locked okay we actually use the lockpicks way more than I thought we did Oh ink ribbons sure I guess I mean why not I would have rather had some ammunition but okay Rove read books there's one white book will you take it I read your report as I stated in the last report there are some common features found in the cells of planets infected by the tyrant virus we also have found another interesting fact through some experiments we found an element that destroys these plant cells rapidly in UMB number 16 one of the series of U and B chemicals that we use for that experiment we named that um B number 16 as V jolt in our calculations it will take less than 5 seconds to destroy plant 42 if we put the V jolt directly on the root you need to mix some of the UM B series chemicals in a specific order to create V jobs but the UM B series chemicals may generate poisonous gas which is harmful to the human body extreme caution should be taken when handling these chemicals following are the types of um B series chemicals and their brief characteristics um B number to read NP 0:03 purple UMB number for green yellow 6 yellow um be number seven white um be number 13 blue stimulating smell V jolt um be number 16 Brown alright now we've unlocked the ability to kick this part ass now we can go through there without V jolting the plant but there's a word for that ah yes yes stupid that would be stupid there we go so let's go mix up of hot batch of V jokes how many slots do we have we've got three that's fine I think we can do this with three slots there is four bottles but I don't think you need all four bottles so you know okay so we need that bottle there's you and B number two you need a container yes yes yes yes they were good there is our container now what else do we need there's um B number two we put you and be number two in a bottle yes yes we will so we have you and be number two alright and we have another poll here yeah we yeah water one read to the purple three yeah now empty bottle we shall have him and yeah there we go we want you will you put water in the empty bottle yes now we have the water so if we come over here kinda tells us something is written on the wall water one red two yep purple yeah uh-huh so let's mix these two together and that gives us NP 0 0 3 now we also want another bottle like so and we should be able to do this with three balls I think it's been a long time there's um be number four we put you me number four in the empty bottle yes so we've got four so if we mix 3 and 4 that gives us 7 I believe yep so now have um be 7 now we need um be 7 think now we need to make the MP hours have a look there's the key here something is written on this wall two plus two equals three three plus four equals 7/2 plus four equals six so we need a 2 and a 4 okay so there is U and B number two yes okay now how do we make for what is this for over here yeah you and be number four alright so have those bad boys again now it was yeah come on we know something's written right so three and four ah bugger hang on no two of us fighting that's what we want two and four that's fine too combined with four and we've got yellow six combined there we go now we have you and be 13 and think we just need a red and a water now 13 so yeah well now we just need a red and water okay that's cool all right that's not too bad there is you and me number two I we still haven't got the key for the aqua ring I just thought about that where's that key you got the water so we've got the video there we go now we have that right so the key where's the [ __ ] key I mean obviously it's not gonna be in the boss room I say with some limited degree of confidence where put the key for the aqua ring be because we don't want to get stuck in with Neptune never actually thought of Neptune is a threat in this game before [Music] I mean we might have to go down without the key but that seems really freakin dangerous I mean really dangerous like stupid suicidal I don't know how many dangerous Neptune is when he's in water I'm guessing pretty dangerous we don't need these these can go way the [ __ ] Oh way the [ __ ] up here we need the UM B I might save it you know we don't need the presser for now because she's bingo ammo will keep the shotgun and if we're gonna take the shotgun then we might as well go all in on the boy like so don't need the flame rounds put the flame rounds back I can't believe we actually it's so weird you know it's making me a little bit nervous the fact that we are now using the shotgun not have choice but because we have to so let's go down to the Aqua ring area and see if we can find this key I've almost said something stupid I was gonna say oh well maybe maybe it's not locked in a range mode but that would be stupid much confusion Wow now I don't know how long this video is going to be either because we had a bit that had to chop often rings to go interrupts it right that little look down here we need the freaking key definitely haven't missed anything well I say we definitely haven't that is really area where these curtains are open I say we definitely haven't missed anything I'm not sure it's absolutely possible we've missed something somewhere I mean the items have been rearranged obviously but then it hasn't been too bad so far right so we need to do the Box puzzle let's say puzzled loosely all right so that's still looking the same let's drop you in now there is some healthcare Oh is there doesn't be like that oh now I might be further on sure there's some health down here because we need that especially if we're gonna be fighting our friend you know the friend I'm talking about you love to see it right I of course mean Neptune and Neptune is so strange like I'm actually worried about Neptune why would you be worried about that he's you know he usually just pulled the plug on him and then evil laugh at him whilst he flops around the floor or Shoom in the face or even nice the [ __ ] to be honest but yeah strange stuff and this is just monotonous come on Jim move your ass yeah she's doing the best you can I guess camera camera there we go okay does that box say um be on it these full of the UMB chemicals I've never noticed that but that's quite a cool little thing actually hmm and I've no idea whether it's just some random pool of water here either yeah so there is the two herbs here that's good now I'm really hoping I don't die yeah I've just also noticed I've got ink ribbons on me so what I'm going to do am I going to be a big coward you can't yeah you need the key to go in there that's the thing because all the room you can't mmm you can't use yeah let's go it's good recheck everywhere upstairs you can't [Music] there's nothing here nothing on this desk it's not going to be in the boss room because that's just stupid because you can't get into any of those doors through there without the key there's nothing here no water is left the key was in here [Music] unless there's one door here that we can use but well we didn't want to live rather did way if I have to redo it I have to redo it it's not the end of the world I guess I don't know how quick Neptune will kill us to be honest with you I don't know if we can even fight him if you can even shoot him underwater I have no idea hmm you can see just how slow we are underwater it's crazy I thought the game at she was slowing down but I don't think it is oh boy right oh we're so slow we're crazy slow we can go in here [Music] oh okay can we use the veto we can with [Music] we can use the video okay [Applause] [Music] well that's blown my mind yes we can go fight the plant now okay I was not expecting that at all but before we go fight the plant go back and save the game now usually I always fight the plan of the handgun because it kills them really quickly I never knew you could use the veto with [ __ ] I'm so tempted to look in the other rooms now but I know you need a key I know you do anyone that's played Resident Evil knows you need the key hmm but yes I always use the hangman against the plant because the plants actually really weak but in this mode we're gonna have to use something a little bit different I'm thinking the grenade launcher [Music] I don't know how good of an idea that's going to be but yes we're gonna find out together kind of makes sense to me as I'm saying out loud but I don't know chief we've got to say ink ribbons on us say we're gonna drop a save here right I'm gonna wrap this one up guys thank you very much for watching when we come back I guess we're going to go fight the plan and maybe we maybe we get the key in the room with the plan to go down into the actual ring I'm not sure I really don't know but I guess we're gonna find out together in the next part so thank you very much for watching guys you	Tytan

k2J4GI4_cto	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2J4GI4_cto	Audit Committee Meeting Wednesday 7 October 2020	through to the job as follows we have no apologies okay and a declaration of members interesting can remain members that they're obliged to declare any relevant financial or other interest before i'm during each committee meeting and i'm assuming no chair maybe i should declare that i think i have two live complaints with the ombudsman's office thank you mr allister any others no yeah um we'll move now to uh the draft minute to the meeting held on the 16th of september at 20 chapter which are at pages 6 to 10 of the meeting pack can i ask if members are content with the minutes yes can i just ask you'll forgive me because i haven't sat on okay but just to place on board so can i just ask should the fact that we agreed to table emotion not being played in the match or is that extreme position and referring to the last commit i mean yeah yeah there is reference to emotion in the minutes [Music] okay well does it actually mention emotion because that said we're going to investigate options but how's that get somebody yeah page here right here [Applause] yeah pagey don't write them all right which part do you want are you not content with well i often told my head i obviously can't see it just yet so could somebody just i don't actually see him it's specified that we had a great detail it says that the committee agreed arising from observatory liberations and the comparative research it will consider the option of the committee motion to alert the assembly to potential gaps in the governance and kind of vote arrangements for ta tnag and nipsa so we're content that we agreed to consider it as opposed to agreed to do it has any members any thoughts on that on the private business we're obviously going to return to that issue yes maybe if we yeah park it for the moment uh would joan would you be content let's return to that that's grabbed okay so if members are content as agreed we'll proceed um matters are raising our foreign members uh that an update from the department of finance has been received in relation to the timetable for agreeing the executive's budget which has changed due to the delay in the outcome of the spending review and can i ask the clerk to outline the update to our members thank you claire thanks and the committee previously which will enable this money to reach possession and listen to the draft budgets for the three nominees are public bodies and publish a report in line with the executive budget process and this has been anticipated as being required by the end of october therefore evidence sessions have been scheduled from the three non-ministerial bodies in time for that and as the charge limited to the timetable was dependent on the outcome of the uk government spending review the finance minister updated the house uh yesterday in relation to that and we know that review has been delayed and we still understand subsequently from officials that the spending we may not take place until november comments have been saw her from pac in the case of the audit office budget from the department of finance in relation to all three bodies in the interim that comment is required in order for this committee to make a decision okay uh so you want that now members that uh wisely committee can continue to take evidence on the draft budget 2021 2022 substantial comments from the department of finance in relation to this may not be received until after the outcome of the spending review is known the committee is required under agreed protocols to consider this comment in order to agree its position so can i ask the members to consider evidence sessions scheduled for the 21st october it should still proceed given this delay remind us who we were seeing in the 21st both sessions is it normal to have two sessions that's what's happened in the past it allows some time for the comments we received from the public accounts [Music] to go ahead or to pause until we hear from well basically he's happy to proceed given the delay well if we don't perceive we're going to be telescoped into a very short period of time i would have thought yes all content okay i can remember that at the last meeting out of one query um this committee clash is very substantial of my finance committee which is also doing important business on the 21st are we tied to the 21st um there's stuff in the papers about changing the time yeah how does that deal affect other members other members i'm okay i'm flexible within the wednesday but it's we've started to change the day but create problems for me certainly the time and i'm flexible on first isn't it we've explored earlier just to know for example the finance ministers appearing before the finance committee on the 21st of an interesting um i'm okay to come in earlier yeah what's the error last we could do uh yeah so the committee time you know the committee time has been agreed uh of one and the finance committee meets it too but no that's the clash that exists but we could seek to you've talked about nine clarity yeah or 12 15 if possible yeah but now the difficulty we have is obviously this year i have another clash as well earlier um so it is causing a bit of an issue i i could seek to come to 12 30. would that be a compromise that people that would be helpful everyone else okay thank you thank you um uh can i remind members of the at the last meeting of the committee on the 16th of september the committee agreed to commission research on the variance figures and thresholds in relation to environment that apply in relation to comparative bodies this research was requested to inform a committee decision in relation to agreeing a budget threshold of over or under spent between the assembly commission and the committee it is anticipated that this paper will be provided for the next committee meeting can inform we've already discussed that in relation to that time so if members have to proceed that uh were all agreed in relation to that so if members are an agreement can we move to closed session for the next item of business if anyone wants okay thank you can i remind members that the session is being recorded by hansard and refer members to the revised briefing paper from commission officials at pages 21 to 26 of your table packs the niac budget 2020 2021 information relation to capital expenditure has been revised with more detail since meeting since the meeting pack was issued can i welcome um when they enter the room are they outside i think somebody went for them so we have freshen up first let's leave the culture [Music] okay sorry thank you can i welcome the chief detective of the assembly leslie hogg and also director of corporate services richard stewart your most welcome to the committee can i ask uh witnesses to make a short opening statement and we have a lot of them today so just keep it as brief and as to the point as possible and then we'll go straight to questions if that's okay with you thank you chair and yes i'm happy to keep it very brief um i think chair the best way to begin is by noting that the assembly commission sees the budget for 2122 really as a restart the commission's underlying role of providing the services required to the assembly has continued on abate at during this year even if it has happened in a slightly different manner from before but it is hoped that next year we'll see the restart of many of the plans that were in place for 2021 such as the restart of outreach and engagement activities that were planned and a restart of the investments that were planned as a result the commission's proposed budget for 2122 is also something restart for that reason the budget presented for 2122 is largely the same as the original budget for 2021. naturally it has been amended by the expenditure that could arise from the determination published by the commission in august of this year and that was discussed when we met with the committee in september but apart from that it takes a running cost budget that mirrors the amounts for 2021. chair i think there are just a few issues that i think are important to bring to the committee's attention and respect of next year's budget firstly the timetable for preparing the commission's budget means that it is possible that changes will be will need to be made based on the prevailing circumstances between now and the consideration of the overall budget for the northern ireland block grant by the assembly and around january or shortly thereafter to that end the commission will review the figures presented today over the next six to eight weeks and there is likely to be and there's unlikely to be any significant change but if there is then we'd report those back to the committee secondly the budget for next year is based on an underlying assumption that the operating environment will have returned to more or less normal environment by next year if that's not the case then it seems likely once again that changes to the budget will be required as far as the budget numbers are concerned the requirement for resource dell is now 49.037 million pounds in the briefing of march this year and over the expenditure categories in the budget in detail the budget is largely unaltered for next year apart from the addition of 4.235 million pounds for the cost that could arise from the 2020 determination and a small technical change to remove notional costs from the figures and the split is set out in annex a planned investment in capital dell is 1.385 million pounds and that is set out in appendix pay chair it's not that long ago that we considered the commission's budget for 2021 and we've also recently looked at the impact of the 2020 determination as i mentioned in my introductory remarks this is really a restart budget for 2122 that largely takes the figures for this financial year and applies them to next financial year the chair members thank you once again for the opportunity to present the commission's budget proposals for 2120t and richard and i are happy to answer any questions that the committee may have thank you uh very much uh leslie and richard again for being here uh and thank you for uh keeping your comments brief we we appreciate that and also for outlining uh the various uh challenges i suppose that lie ahead obviously as noted last week in my absence the determination will have an impact on the budget and we're very conscious that i know other members will have comments to make i have no specific questions at this point but i will come on a later time i'll open up to other members who may wish to ask any specific questions chairman fma just a couple of things um leslie could you maybe outline for us um if a million pounds sure set aside for capital pressures could you maybe give us some indication of that um advices about the uh upgrades security systems and i became known so you'll forgive me i'm not clear what a uag is also the audio system for the assembly chamber valued at half a million pounds translation system if you could clarify that for me and lastly um with regard to just a current staffing issue is there any consideration being given in terms of budgets and value for my to the interim redeployment of front-facing staff and the assembly at present very in mind that the building is close to the public and yet committee staff are facing a backlog of a number of months as a result of lockdown maybe redeploying those staff would assist committee staff and helping committees to uh redeem some some of their lost time that's me done chairman okay thank you and whenever you refer to a pressure it's really just because there's no occurring capital there so anything we want in terms of capital expenditure has to be put forward for each year so it's not that there's an additional pressure the total is set out in annex b and this year indicative capital budget is 1.385 million pounds so you mentioned um the replacement of the security management system and that's really the likes of our cameras and the underlying software for the building we had hoped to progress that further in the current year so that would have been in our budget for last year but just because of the assembly and getting back up and running again and then with covered that project has been delayed so it's really just the replacement of the infrastructure and the software for the security of the building i think then you mentioned the eig without the and that's just in terms of connecting um into the assembly systems remotely so when you're out of the building etcetera you're connecting through your tablet that's just the um this is the place leslie arden what does it stand for please i have no idea what uag stands for but it's it's what our is office called it it's the uag but as leslie says it is simply a mechanism that allows us to access um all our files or storage within the building that's held on our servers on your tablets typically that's a great thing i'm glad i'm not the only one who didn't know them there's lots of technical terms yes and you mentioned also the audio system in the chamber and the audio system in the chamber is extremely bold um as is and i think as women are here in march we talked about this as well that a lot of our broadcasting infrastructure is in need of replacement so again because of the the timing um rather than wait and do everything in a big bang potentially you know at the end of the mandate we would like to try and progress some of this in a staged basis so our plan is that we would like to try and upgrade the audio element next summer during the summer recess and then we would look at the cameras and so on the following year so at this stage this is a very very indicative figure and that project is really only in the very early stages and therefore we we don't have a refinement for the figure at this stage until we go through the project and look at the procurement options etcetera and the best way to implement that you also then mentioned about the frontline staff so most of the available frontline staff have already been redeployed to support other business areas because obviously there are pressures so that has already taken place and again if there are any vacant posts you know they obviously wouldn't have been filled at this point most not all have been redeployed well there's still some work going on so i mean not all of the frontline staff are only public facing you know they do deal with other matters in the background so there's still some ongoing work there albeit fairly minimal thank you thank you can i just supplement a point that joins you and who lies you've touched on the audio systems within the actual assembly chamber and i welcome the update in relation to that uh i'm just wondering i've noticed that westminster and indeed other chambers that uh the elected members can remotely speak by a tele conference and it's called star leaf if you like is it has there been any consideration given uh to that for the assembly the commission raised that directly with yourself that mechanism because for instance speaking from experience i was at home for two weeks could have been engaging in the assembly in that situation and as this uh covert crisis continues and we're seeing more and more people going to isolation i think it's important that we try and keep assembly business functioning as normal as possible so that that engagement from your own home into the chamber as is happening in western there's been a consideration for that well that would really be a matter for the committee on procedures and would require changes to standing orders so obviously if such changes were envisaged and brought forward then we would obviously implement whatever solution was required to facilitate that okay the minute we haven't been requested that's interesting as well and just another point um i know that for some time and we've discussed this previous meetings as well the upgrades for the the the tv screens around the building and the telephone system in the building hugely out of date i think they predate me um which is not not great is it where are we with those plans i i understood those things would have happened over the course of the summer but that hasn't happened as of yet well the telephone system that project is well underway and we're actually piloting at the minute during october so that project will be completed in the next couple of months the telephone or the um television screen replacement that really has been deferred into next year because obviously you'll understand in terms of changing so many working practices and getting the technology set up for remote working and so on during the covert that really took a lot of time from our is department and therefore the tv replacement has been pushed into next year but you're quite right they're long overdue and i think as we explained before um from a print point of view the commission didn't want to proceed while the assembly wasn't meeting with the upgrade of the tv screens okay thanks very much and there's there's other uh adaptions adaptations to the building itself for disabled access uh i think from previous conversations as well at this committee uh that were included in the budget for this year i think um where what's the situation with those in changing the assembly chamber to make it much more disable friendly to equip the needs of those who may require them well there's some um you'll see in the the current capital budget there's 50 000 pounds in and that's to do with evacuation and so we did have that in last year and again that project has been deferred into next year and that's really looking at emergency evacuation and some work that might need to be done there lifts the facility at that in terms of the assembly chamber itself nothing further has been planned at the minute obviously certain parts of the chamber are accessible but at the point if we were doing any bigger upgrade in terms of equipment and that would be the time to look at that okay yeah a couple of points um in terms of the capital spent is there any money set aside for roof repairs [Applause] not specifically i mean we do have an ongoing cycle of repair and maintenance um and we're not aware of any significant repairs that required to be done at the minute i must say unless you're familiar well yes i was on the third floor yesterday green bucket and i noticed areas where there's obvious water ingress it's only a few years since we had the roof done what's the problem well there have been a few ongoing defects and following the work that was done on the roof and we're continuing to work through those with the contractor is it legal for students [Music] where the various railings are that where they've been for some reason drilled into the parapet or whatever you call that that that then is cracking corresponding to where each staunchen is all right i'm no engineer but it struck me as an odd way inviting water and grass to establish that rail is that what's causing the water to come down i'll take that one yeah um yeah that's that would be the biggest issue uh that we're in discussions with both the designers and the contractor about but that's a massive issue there's hundreds of those stars uh well i wouldn't go as far as hundreds but it's certainly at the back of the building it would be the place where it would be um the the most pronounced and in faces then that's actually showing through the ceiling with water staining is that right yeah i think at the back of the building there's there's a secondary issue not related to the roof project um to do with the the left void which is just just outside the the door here when it gets to the fourth floor then there's there's an issue with that that's not connected to the to the roof project but yes those railings would be the issue that we're uh responsible for the botching of the railings um well i think the commission would say that that would be a matter for the designer or the contractor we paid for a proper job and we would take the view that that needs to be fixed well how many years is it four or five yeah 14 15 yeah well has it gone to arbitration is there any proceedings issued are we bringing it to a no that we haven't got that point of proceedings or arbitration and it's through discussions with the designer and the contractor and if it ends up that we have to pick up the tab that provided for in any of this budget well i think before we got to the point of picking up the tab we might well enter into uh litigation i think it does it struck me has the potential to be a big issue yeah it's certainly an issue we would like the designer or the contractor to resolve yeah um the one and a quarter million for the audio and camera that joanne asked about um he asked does that have to do with provision of translation services what's the caveat answer to that no um and there was an updated table sent through so there's half a million pounds in the updated table there's nothing in there for translation systems so again until such times as the committee and procedures and the assembly was to change standing orders and we don't really know what the scope of services would would be required but at the point that's determined we will obviously again seek the appropriate funding to implement that and uh if that happened mid-year how would you do that well i think you know that's likely to be a very significant project and even if it was agreed mid-year um it's unlikely would be able to complete much capital works i would have thought in the first year by the time the project was scoped you go through a procurement exercise we'd also have to do equipment for staff as well so i mean that would be quite a big project thank you just very small point um the security uh hut on the way out of the building the staff have to come out to manually press a button they'd say they'll let you out and no security issues really involved in that and people out um would it be possible to substitute some sort of a remote control from within their their building but that could be that could be done without them having to come out and implement weather and press a button i'm not sure if that's been considered at all um it has been certainly has been talked about over the years um but it hasn't been implemented uh we could certainly look at it um but it's it's maybe a what might be the value for money for that just in a siege of everything been remote it seems a bit a bit manual that they have to come out in there in the rain and inclement weather to do it so maybe you would have a look at it yeah german there's another bar here at the other side will you drive up and the buyer lifts yeah there is and that one is going to be a solid retail there it's meant to open and it does open when it works um but that technology even though it's been around for years um you know there would be an engineer out you know relatively frequently to fix that and obviously the control room can operate the barrier when there's nobody at the security facility but i mean we can certainly look at what would be required to automate it from the security facility just in terms of security a very slight point not budgetary well not any major anyway prior to the collapse of the institutions that we had uh identity stickers on our car that recognized members so that we just get in neither security and the one don't happen they're trying to see who i am it's not good for that it's not helpful for them it's not helpful for us is there any way of reinstating something that clearly identifies members so we just get them into the i mean the stickers actually we we moved away from that method simply because sometimes then we find that other people were perhaps using member stickers and i don't know whether it's members cars or else members maybe were in other vehicles that didn't have the stickers so now members are really allowed in on the basis of site rather than sticker okay it's just that it's not a major issue but there's no others so that was why we found other people were using members stickers to to get their cars into the building um can i just get a bit more information electronic access control department buildings is that for staff or just elaborating that we bet yes this would be in terms of i mean you'll be aware there's no real security around the building in terms of electronic access going through internal doors in the building and this has been a matter that has been considered over a number of years as to whether there should be some automation of doors etcetera to restrict certain parts of the building to the public and keep certain parts then to members and staff and badge holders so this would be a partial electronic access control system which would effectively allow a public area that the public you know around the great hall etc but then the rest of the building would be closed off and you would need you know some sort of pass to get through that i mean we have over the last couple of years tried to increase visitors to the building we've got the members dining room we've got the portraits in the first floor etc and a few years ago we did automate a lot of the doors from a disability access and that's been very good from a disability access point of view but the doors then are very inviting so for example if you were to come out of speaker's corner shop then the doors down to the deputy first minister's offices just automatically open in front of you so then you find sometimes members of the public come out of the shop the doors open and they walk around the corridor so at times we do find members of the public you know roaming around her again if they come to the back of the great hall the doors open and therefore the minute we're purely reliant on the ushers to try and keep track of you know visitors in the building and that's very difficult so therefore the the idea would be that we would restrict public access and to get through certain doors such as the back corridor and some of these corridors and even upstairs through the lifts you would need a pass to do that okay members content i have no further questions leslie and richard thank you very much okay for coming before us today and for uh sharing the information with us keep up your good work and also thank the staff the assembly for the huge amount of work that they do in supporting each of us in the role that we have to play here um that's not easy times you know there's a lot of anxiety with the spread of this infection so i just want to put firmly on record or thanks to you and to your team and the assembly for the great work it's used too thank you and that's much appreciated i will now move to our next witnesses and can i ask broadcasting to bring any witnesses using star leaf into the spotlight early officials at 7.2 pages 29 to 37 members table packs table one of the briefing paper and bean pack it was updated subsequent to an issue and can i also thank our guests uh today for attending who represent the uh uh pamela mccready chief operating officer of the northern auto office and rodney allen director of corporate services of the honorable you're both very welcome again thank you very much for attending can i ask you to make a short opening statement and then we'll the members thank you very much okay thank you very much chairman and it's good to see you're keeping well and i'm back with us uh hello to new members who i haven't met yet so i'm just saying hello everyone um we welcome the opportunity to meet with you here today particularly with regards to the three-year budget approach um longer term planning is something as another office we've been advocating for a long time and that's just as relevant to us in our organization especially in the development of our business transformation program at the office as well supposed to contextualize the budget going forward i thought i would just spend a quick moment and reflection over the past three years um and we have applied that strategic planning approach to improve and deliver our work some of the things have been around developing a three-year public reporting program and really with the name of being open transparent and being agile and keeping the office relevant and what it reviews a focus on staff aligning skills cost and efficiency as you'll see in the document approximately 40 staff have left the organization over that period with the facilitation of ves including senior roles and we have been recruiting into graduate trainees higher level apprentice and new expertise into the office around analytics learning development communications and hr over that period we've had a strong focus on quality and governance a new advisory board has been appointed audit risk and insurance committee and a new remuneration committee we've enhanced our quality review mechanisms in that period so in addition to internal audit external audit and indeed the independent panel who reviews our reports we've recently gone to market for independent quality assurance and that's been appointed to icaew from england and last year we published new vfm standards really outlining the standards and how we conduct our public reporting we've been investing and developing strongly in data analytics and at this stage it's still in that research and development phase but we see that being integral into modernizing our audit practice going forward and we've had a large focus on our people over that time so quite a bit of structural change obviously over that period we have a new people strategy and we undertook a roles profile for all roles throughout the organization and hence we've invested heavily into leadership and team effectiveness and recognizing that a lot of changes going on in the office have had strong engagement with our trade union colleagues and who have positively engaged with us challenged us and indeed support us and i want to thank them for that um i'm extremely proud of staff over that period of time and indeed in recent months and they've been very committed to the organization and very flexible and how they've worked over the past number of months and finally our other major project which i'm sure we'll come on to at some point today is around our accommodation project being one of the key drivers in our strategic objectives for the organization to to transform our business and meet emerging challenges and i'm sure we'll touch in that as well we have achieved a lot um there are a number of elements of these changes that have an impact on our future funding and that's laid out in our paper so i'll not labor that anymore i'm sure we'll come on to that in q a so that's everything from later thank you very much and thank you again for attending and been before us just two questions one what do you foresee as challenges to your current budget at present and initiating this year and also the in terms of the accommodation project are you still on budget or uh have those costs changed yeah okay i'll take the challenges and under my learner colleague and accommodation project as he's the sro so we might as well be fully accountable in that regard and we've outlined in the paper and that's why i think it is important to reflect back we're in a period and where we're renewing our corporate plan so that will be coming through to you as well um and a lot of the initiatives and projects that we've started over the the past couple of years um have given us that strong baseline to go forward now so um really it's that continuing investment in people and adding into those skills so one of those cost pressures going forward is the continued recruitment of graduate trainees and higher level apprentices into the organization and i think we touched on at our last meeting that for us to i mean 70 of what we do is around financial audit uh and predominantly the rest is on public recording we have other aspects of our work but predominantly that's it um and we've been over the past sort of 18 months we've been bringing people through from those people that are involved in financial audit into the public reporting so it may be a little bit slower but i think it's been the right thing to do around getting the right skill and expertise into the work so there's a pressure as we continue to increase those numbers there's a financial impact on that going forward um we've uh we have a number of challenges in there particularly around um income um and again we've clarified one of the major impacts and income was around our um eaf which is the agricultural european funds but we've got eyes on that now through to about 22-23 so it's it's a bit more certain um it's not forever there but at least we've a little bit of certainty on it going forward so those i mean financially um we've a little we've included a little bit into the budget as you will see particularly on the public reporting side to support us taking forward some of the rhi recommendations and following up in the progress of that for me that's about enhancing our capacity in public reporting and then doing that we'll be able to incorporate the work that we need to do on rhi into that um so there's a number of key pressures as we go forward that hence why we are have been protecting our baseline we've been um i think rodney referenced before that it feels like a recruitment agency in the audit office over the past 18 months but there's a recurrent tale on that so to date we haven't felt the full year effect of that and but into next year and the following years we will okay thank you very much maybe before i answer your question just very quickly we've got a context um just just for members as i talked about the committee before so the background in the accommodation project really we we're in a building in 106 university street some members may have been in it the building effectively it grew us um we got two too small for the building we used the bigger staff numbers and the building we've been in there for nearly 30 years um the guy on record is saying you know my office feels like a suite it's that big so it's of a certain time in an era and it's not most efficient use of of accommodation space at the moment so we've been working with experts from strategic investment board from construction and procurement delivery and dof um to give us the relevant skill sets to guide us through this project um i suppose i could simplistically say we're on budget but that'd be very disingenuous when i looked back at hansard from february and march to see what sort of numbers we talked about at that point in time we were talking to this committee of a cost envelope just over four million um plus um you'll see from the papers in front of you today that that that has only gone one direction and we're now coming to you talking about a scheme that's and at six million pounds so what are the reasons for that um at that stage back yet nine months ago we were very much at concept design so we've walked through our iba stage three which is a very detailed design process to really come up with what is the right you can all that expert advice into account what is the right design that we need for this project so that resulted in increased costs um that also flushed out some some aspects of the building that we didn't expect to have to do in this project such as windows and replacing windows across the whole building after nearly 30 years of their life so that was a fairly significant extra cost we got a more precise estimate in and around our furniture and equipment expectations and what we actually require and all of that in the round came to about one million pounds and plus of course the vat a couple of other aspects in this our optimism bias at the moment is it is still set fairly high we have it set at 20 we talked to you before we were at a lower percentage um but there's there's a lot of uncertainty out there that members will be well aware of and the final aspect which has influenced this significant move on budget um again the experts are advising us that we need to make a significant alliance for the effects of uh covert and construction inflation in the current marketplace and that when you bring that into the mix brings us up to the new figure of six million pounds chairman okay thank you yeah just a couple of points um in seeking your budget um are you subject at all to any department of finance guidance efficiency requirements or is it just pitch it up for what you are what you think you need well no go and you can you can come in on it there's been no request with regards to um efficiency as we look into the three-year budget um as we've reflected in the paper there's been quite a bit of efficiency over the past sort of eight to ten years and we took that quite early it was in the austerity period and built that in so our budget is significantly reduced to what it was then sort of by 40 and we've used bez um as the early efficiency postal weight and that concluded uh about 18 24 months ago so our budget build for the next three years is really based on what we feel we need to deliver um the work to the assembly but from a statutory audit in a public reporting point of view so there's been no requirement unless you're going to remind me any differently on efficiency coming from department of finance so it's an organization which isn't accountable to an independent board which is really beyond scrutiny other than the respect of your estimates even when it comes to your estimates you don't live within the constraints of any department of finance guidance at all i believe that we're being held to account by this committee and our our budget is scrutinized by yourselves um our budget is reviewed by pac and i understand this committee takes on board the comments from pac and department of finance on our budget um so we are proposing our requirements for the next three years based on our business need so how would the department of finance comment on your budget do you furnish it to them yeah um through the chair this committee furnishes at the dof right okay we finish it too so and then and then you take comments from the report so i'm a bit surprised that as a body of the nature of jar he's very good at scrutinizing others and necessarily so that you yourselves are not subject to any guidance or restraints other than what's happening today etc in terms of your budget through the chart i was just offered some thoughts if i'd yep i suppose i suppose that way back when we particularly when at the time of a starting uh and departments were were having to live within their existing budgets and having pay freezes uh my one percent pay increases and as an organization we were exactly the same and and the cnag was very clear back then i've been around public order for a while so i can recall that time actually he felt it was very important that we moved early that we took our haircut early and demonstrated that we were hopefully leading by example in terms of the budget that would apply to his office to the extent that actually we got to a stage during the absence of of the assembly that the cnag needed to write to the secretary of state because he felt that his budget was um it was so restricted i mean it got there such a restricted stage that it was putting him under pressure to deliver a truly independent audit function so we're very very mindful of efficiency mindful of making our pitch right um we we that's the numbers that are in front of you hopefully hopefully we see them as very reasonable numbers to help us to get that staff base in the position we need to be in um the five percent probably looks like a fairly significant number um but you'll see it tailing off the impact of that into the two percent of the one point three percent in in the years thereafter um in relation to dof they willing they will use closely with us but they understand as well but the primary function to review our budget is this committee in terms of your new building it was designed obviously before covet and before the new norm of homeworking and all of that which many people think things may not return to how they were have you revised your needs in regard to that possible reality um through the chart we we looked at that very closely and continued to look at nearly a day-by-day business throughout this design process um it might sound a bit flippant to say it was almost as if we were future proofing ourselves but we were in the move to make better use of our space um and rationalizing the sixty percent of the the property um we're an audit function where we have our staff effectively in two places pre-covered um in the office or out of clients out of ordered bodies and in the new world our staff are in three places um be it be at the office be it at home be it with all of the bodies i suppose none of us clearly knows what the future will be yet but we we actually see it as a hybrid we're moving into a situation of having a working group to look very closely at the future of work and we see it as a hybrid of that that situation so this new accommodation will enable us to provide a much more collaborative working environment for whenever we bring our staff in a much smaller space than what they occupied in the past the the furniture and desking and so forth that i touched on will provide great flexibility for that we also want to become a more open environment so our new ground floor will become an environment where we'll have a training facility which we expect to be used much beyond niao so we need to we want to throw our doors open to the wider public sector do you own your present building we do so is there an asset recovery as you move forward doing a new project does that free up anything which will be sold the the tension is that we own the full building the intention is that what we will do is lease in the region of 40 percent of it so we'll move into a new world where we'll be tenants the website will be landlords and we'll have talents and that will be the income stream and that income stream is very important to underpin the business case for this overall project okay we've been operating that over the past year or so yeah the neurology inquiry occupies the ground floor of that part of the building that we're leasing out and actually nipso dumbbensman who will be coming in after us when they were decanting to refurb their building they've been utilizing that as well so we have as rodney said with the exit of those numbers of staff we have consolidated our staff into the front of the building and the wing down the side effectively can be a stand-alone and part of the building that we can then lease out okay i think sure i will further questions i imagine the future occasion about the accountability and oversight but i don't think today is the day for that problem thank you john uh john thank you chairman uh thank you very much folks for your paper um if i could just ask you a couple of queries with regard to staffing sure um i know that you provide us the numbers and intending to increase from 111 up to 125 full-time equivalents and i also note that you have said that that will cost around 170 000 pounds a year in your paper on page six paragraph four you've said that uh approximately seventy percent of your costs are staff salaries you've said on page five paragraph seven eighty-five percent of your budget is committed to staff costs yes expenditure yes um and you've said that uh consolidated inflationary increases and pay increments in the region of 170 000 are required each year yes so in light of that and you've mentioned several times pamela um the change in your staff to move from senior staff to junior staff it'll be helpful i'm not asking you to provide it now but perhaps to furnish it furnish us with it and perhaps you could give us some indication as to what your staffing levels and grades were sure and what they have moved to and the savings find in that because if you have if it's still 70 of your budget um i'd be interested to know what percentage of your budget it was whenever you had all those senior people there um the other question i have is with regard to best practice in audit and how the audit office ensures that it keeps pace with changes in audit and with best practice and my last point is with regard to your review of rhi implementations and you're bringing somebody on board to uh to address the implementations on to monitor that but presumably that is not a lifetime appointment presumably that is a temporary appointment because how long do you anticipate that those are going to have to be monitored so i'd be keen to understand the time frames with regard to that okay if i pick up on and we'll certainly get you um the staffing profile beforehand and where we are now i'm more than happy to do that and actually we've recently been submitting information into the department of finance particularly around the voluntary exit scheme and and the savings um relating to that so it'll all be caught up in the same aspect of it um best practice and it's two core aspects to her work i mean you will appreciate we also are involved in an aspect of fraud and the national fraud initiative but predominantly it's around financial audit and then the public reporting the value for money side so on the financial audit side of our business um we currently operate um using the national auto office audit methodology so we call that our fam or financial audit methodology that's one of the projects going forward that we're looking at we're just mobilizing the team at the moment on that and things have changed and um both for us and indeed the niu the nio would have all that's that require it to review under company under company law which is not the case for ourselves and so part of this project will just be to look at the appropriateness of that still to us along with looking at comparative audit methodologies with all of scotland and audit wheels by way of example we also recognize that i mean one of the areas i've mentioned to you is around data analytics and we are both continuing developing research and development in that and also moving forward with aspects of it at the same time so we're mindful that we need to integrate that into any future audit methodology as we go forward and we have a technical team that sits in the other office so in addition to the core staff that will be out doing audit there's a technical team um there to keep us up to date on those standards so as frc would release further accounting standards and audit standards to engage through the nao with our teams to make sure we are aware of that how it impacts on our approach and that staff are adequately trained and understand that so there is a tight approach around that part of the staffing and looking where we have got roles and expertise we've enhanced that team so we've put additional capacity into that team just recognizing changes over the past period of time so that's on the the best practice side um on assuring ourselves that we're adhering to it and doing it properly and that's where i've mentioned we have we would review our own work internally just cold cold review with our teams we've peer review so colleagues from audit scotland auto wales and the national audit office and ourselves participate um in reviewing cross reviewing each other's work and and then in addition to that on the financial audit side as i say we've recently gone to market and at the institute of charter council england and wales icaw will come in and take a sample of our audits and view those against standards give us that level of assurance as well on the value for money side and we have an independent panel to the organization that will review the reports and we also peer review again with the same group of organizations uh and experts in each of those all of the bodies that we peer review that work as well thank you does that answer so just an rhi then is that okay on the best practices a couple of things i've been if you would if you would determine perhaps furnish us with i suppose action that you take to ensure that you are keeping pace just so that we've got you know there's there was a lot there yeah and the other thing is with regard to peer review do the do the peers choose the cases they will look at or do you furnish them with cases both it's a mixture of both actually so some of it will be completely at random selection and some we will offer up so that it's a mixture of both particularly on the public reports so if we've had something that's been quite high profile or whatever uh we will steer them towards it and say we think look at this but um it's a bit of both and then the rhi appointment rhi i mentioned that sort of i suppose in my opening remarks not quite right um um 44 recommendations um we are working at the moment getting something onto the website and we can furnish the committee also with it which will outline the framework as to how we're going to approach this so there's the recommendations themselves um and we're engaging at the moment um just with department of finance as a central conjured around progress and that and when's the right time to actually get in and start to consider reporting on that but in addition to that we're considering it as part of our forward work program so you will be familiar with our um public reporting three-year program and we obviously refresh that this year in light of covert 19. um and we're now in the process of that rule just looking as to what the next two to three years will look like um and we will we will look to studies that touch on issues uh within those recommendations as well so an example of that um rodney was the director on capacity and capability so that report will be finalized we publish them and go to pac that was very much in the back of recommendations coming out of rhi i suppose having just all i'm all i'm looking for really is how long do you envisage that post being required how long do you envisage i'm not looking at it as a post actually i mean i it's not a case of putting one person in just to look at it i think the fact we have a multi-faceted approach to it our approach was very much around enhancing the public reporting side and incorporating the rhi reporting into that okay there's john yeah thank you uh emma you've indicated hello thank you very much i've no further questions either but i do appreciate you both being here today and thank you very much for thank you thank you here we have you soon can i ask broadcasting using starleaf entry spotlight please [Applause] and i refer members to the briefing paper from the uh from nipso officials at 5.1 pages 177 to 186 of our members packs [Music] okay thank you uh just checking if john mckenna is on the spotlight can broadcasting bring him in lift yeah there we go okay can i welcome our witnesses and thank them for attending today uh representatives of nipso uh margaret kelly newly appointed uh ombudsman you're very welcome and it's very uh good to meet you again margaret paul mcfadden uh pollya welcome back to the committee and john mcginnery on starleaf director of finance can i invite witnesses to make a short statement if we can keep our our opening remarks is as brief as possible thank you very much um okay thank you mr chairman and members and thank you for the opportunity to meet you informally yesterday which i find really helpful um and i really welcome this opportunity to engage with the committee on my office and on our plans and budget proposals for the next three years and i'm now in office just over six weeks in fact i think it may actually be seven weeks today because i started on a wednesday and and just we'd like to say that i've got a very good handle from the team in the office on where we are in terms of delivering to your strategic objectives even in this very difficult climate and and it may be that the committee want to follow up a little on the impact of covert could i also just ask the committee to indulge me while i say i thank you and to paul mcfadden he did as the committee will know hold the role of acting ombudsman um and i just want to say thank you to paul for the really warm welcome that he's given me and also the very effective and efficient induction so just really do want to put that on record with the committee and the committee are aware that the previous annual budgets have caused some difficulty in planning and so this moved here three-year budget really gives both you and me an opportunity to look strategically at these first three years of my appointment um and we even though it's been short notice in terms of turnaround for me we really welcome this opportunity so we will continue um to prioritize delivering delivering excellence in our mall administration complaints and investigations and as the committee knows there's been a really substantial increase in fact they have more than doubled over the last four years in the complaints and but we are building on the work that we've already undertaken to be able to deliver efficiently and effectively on that and i'm very committed to enabling us to continue to deliver within our current budget and therefore members will note that we have built in only the necessary uplifts on that and i would just take this opportunity to thank the committee because i do know that earlier in the year the committee did give us some extra resource and and we are appreciative of that we have as an office and begun to develop our work on learning and improvement and this is something in which i would really like to place further emphasis as a strategic priority going forward using the knowledge and the insight from complaints to enable public services to improve is an integral aspect of ombudsman's offices across the uk many of whom have been delivering on this aspect of ombudsman's work for over a decade there is as i know members will know a wealth of learning from complainants experiences of our public services and i believe they should be both captured and shared and while my office had begun work on this it was on an ad hoc basis and it can't be achieved without some dedicated resource and that's why i have included a proposed additional two members of staff to really proactively build this work over the next three years to begin to really engage with public services on a regular basis to begin to analyze our complaints and their chairs their trends to be able to annually provide sectoral responses which looks at complaints and areas for improvement and i believe to share such analysis and reports with this committee and perhaps with other other subject interest committees and to allow the work that comes from complaints to fade into policy development and i'm very grateful to the committee for the support that they have given around the commencement of the complaint standards authority and i appreciate your writing on our behalf but again this is a very good example for me of where my office has had this as a strategic focus but it is now time to make that a reality and committee members raised yesterday with me that i see for their constituents of how complex the complaints landscape is of how they often feel like they have to go to nine or ten different organizations or bodies before they get the redress they need and how it's really difficult for many people to negotiate that and i believe that if we introduce the csa that that really creates an opportunity to ensure a fairer quicker and more straightforward complaint landscape and it is a significant task both in terms of complexity and scale we envisage doing it on a sector-by-sector basis but perhaps at a later date i could return to committee and share our thoughts and plans around that and i have drawn attention to those really particular areas of focus and i am of course happy to discuss any of the areas within the paper and thank the committee for the opportunity to do so thank you very much for your opening remarks and again to congratulate you on the appointment of your role and to wish you well in that role i know from our discussions yesterday that you're very much excited about the challenges ahead and we look forward to engaging with you throughout that process and also to put firmly on record or sincere thanks to paul for your work in in the interim until the appointment was made and for your assistance and coming before this committee over the course of the last uh year that we do appreciate it and we thank you for your efforts as well um i'm going to open the floor first if any members have uh questions i have a couple questions um to understand better the subdivision within the office when it comes to the local government investigations uh i'm specifically referring to investigation of concert you have a significant budget for that and just experience the committee as briefly as you could uh when a complaint is made who investigates it and then who decides so i'm going to ask and paul to talk through that because that area of responsibility is separated out and so i'm going to ask them to take you through that process yes so the the set within the office is a separation between the investigative role and the educative role the commissioner margaret as obviously the commissioner is the adjudicator and is completely entirely separated from the receipt of complaints assessment of complaints the investigation of those complaints and only gets them when they are referred by myself as deputy commissioner to her for adjudication so there's a small team within the office the eldest local government ethio standards directorate who will undertake that assessment investigation and referral for adjudication and all the work that is in there between that is done entirely without the commissioner's knowledge it's done with full separation so chinese within the office to make sure that there's no access to any of that to ensure this the adequate separation of investigative and adjudicativity you say there's chinese wall but when you stand back and look at it and it has to pass the test of public credibility as well when you stand back and look at the reality is that you miss mcfadden are the prosecutor and the ombudsman is the judge that's right that's that's us because we're describing it no does that strike you as a credible process well it does strike me as a critical process it's one that has worked and indeed um stood the challenge of four high court challenges yes one adjudications you you'll be aware um members of the committee may be aware that there is a direct appeal route to the high court on this function um of the and i'm speaking off top of my head 14 or so adjudications to date perhaps a little bit more than that four of those have gone to to the high court um councils have taken their right to do that and each of those have upheld so there has been scrutiny of all the cases that you have prosecuted has the judge ever rejected your prosecution on well there's two points to make here first of all there are various other outcomes within the investigative process so the the processes are designed to ensure proportionality reasonableness and indeed to seek alternative action throughout that investigative process in the public interest balancing the public interest and public confidence in local government and also of course good use of resources because getting to the adjudicative stage is clearly quite expensive of the seven percent i think or so that have been referred by me to adjudication and all of those have been upheld by all 100 percent yeah within one organization is 100 success with the judge in the same organization on the the matter of breaches so only the most egregious um and those that i feel and the investigative side feel that there is the evidence of a breach would that be taken forward so it's within my authority to determine whether there's insufficient evidence of a breach for referral it's within my powers to as deputy commissioner to decide that there is alternative action which can resolve this without proceeding through that process which i think is entirely proportional now they're going to want to draw it when you deal with a concert you have the power to end their career they can be banned from future service that's correct when you deal with a council a complaint against a council for mao administration you can barely slap their wrist isn't that right well yes it's entirely separate yeah that's the contrast yeah of course conservation is career ended the council it's told don't do that again and they carry on of course it is entirely different statutory framework which has been established by this assembly but that's the reality [Music] but that's the reality like what are your powers against the council that you find guilty of my administration i mean they are the same at any other point we will or any other people yeah we will write to that public body we will draw to their attention we will ask them to put in place some particular changes or recommendations depending on what that might be we can do consolatory payments and we will continue to follow up with the public body and i think that issue around both engagement and enforcement is one that in terms of those changes that public bodies may need to make it it is why i want that focus on engagement impact and learning because it is about actually going to those public bodies with a pattern or saying you need to make this these changes or indeed engaging with members of this committee or other committees to say this is a significant issue but they are two different legislative frameworks you are right what's the compensatory ceiling that you can order it's not set out in that manner and i think we we have previously gone as far as in under previous ombudsmen i should say as far as study size yeah i couldn't say specific but yeah i mean there is the potential and i'm referring to experience another origin to go where you know whatever the kind of case takes you in terms of direct loss that a complainant has suffered as a result of a public bodies male administration and of course that isn't the primary focus of the male administrative side of the house the primary focus is about redress is about restoring relationships it's about holding public services to account and you're involved in that side as well yeah so as deputy ombudsman i'm also deputy commissioner so obviously deputy almost deputized too to market his own woman you say in your report that there are 1043 complaints that's right were all those accepted for investigation so they are all the complaints so we have at different stages of a process and i mean they've all been accepted if they're a complaint they have come through and we have looked at whether or not they can be accepted whether or not they go to your initial investigation many of those have been accepted for investigation i think maybe just expand on that part of the process we have like like any other ombudsman or complaints on the body we have processes to determine those complaints that first of all we can accept into the organization under a statutory framework secondly should those complaints be should so taking into account factors such as proportionality some of the factors i mentioned before reasonableness and likelihood of achieving a suitable outcome so those kind of factors will take into account uh and so even within some of those you will have for example settlements or daily resolutions which are achieving some form of resolution or redress for individual complainants or there will be a decision not to investigate because there isn't sufficiency let me ask the question another way 2543 how many did you decide not to investigate if you just bare with me to get there either i'm sorry i think if you would bear with us i come back in writing do you and that if that's acceptable mr allstar yeah well i would not want to give you an answer that i couldn't absolutely stand over and i would also like to make a difference between those complaints that we say they are not they do not pass within our ability to investigate and those that we do a shorter investigation on and like settlement and resolution and those that we do a longer investigation on i mean i think i said to the committee yesterday that the higher we describe that early part of our work which is often reaches settlement resolution and i don't know if it helps if i give an example so we'd an example of someone given a round of ivf treatment they had the possibility of two options on that circled both and unfortunately when that was processed only got one round they brought it to us and as part of the resolution we got an agreement that they could have their second round so there are things like that that are a complaint that we investigate and if we seek resolution and there are others that go to a much longer investigation which is why we have the different sets of kpis i will break it down very clearly and forward it to you okay thank you thank you thank you mr sir joanna she and the kid this was supposed to chairman if i might very briefly yeah um it's just with regard to uh the table on page two please margaret paul um i know that your year-on-year increase for one side of your organization is eight point four percent and your year increase on the other side of your investigation is nine point five percent those are quite considerable increases and i appreciate that you're taking on board two members of staff my understanding is that that would be within the uh the complaints and standards side of the house as it were um but 8.4 and miles on the administration side is still a significant increase um i've read some of the explanatory notes but i would still be keen to hear from you as to i mean why that those costs are significant in in those particular years and then reducing again subsequent years if i for me that the lesson next initial year is putting in those additional staff but i am going to ask um john mcginnery he is our finance person to maybe explain that in slightly more detail john could i ask you to do that absolutely margaret yes thank you uh chair and members just to say a little bit about the table uh the the the two sets of percentages are not discrete from each other the the 9.5 percent at the bottom of the table refers to the overall budget for the organization so it's not purely uh the local government ethical standards as i think uh member bunting you were interpreting it as such in actual fact the table is showing that our our baseline budget for the local government ethical standards function is remaining constant in monetary terms out over the projected budgetary period and as uh the ombudsman was just alluding to the the reason for the rather steep looking increase in year one of the budget plan is purely down to the the plans to to initiate both the the uh with assemblies agreement the complaint standards authority function but also the the two additional staff that margaret had mentioned earlier in relation to the learning and improvement team and on the plans to to focus a dedicated resource in that area so those are the the factors that give rise to the relatively steep increase in year one and then in the years beyond that we're we're looking purely at uh projected cost of living increases thank you could i just follow up with one question please terminate for me um it was in the table part two own initiative staff cost could you maybe just explain to us what own initiative is in these circumstances please yeah so own initiative is that prior within the legislation that allows the ombudsman um to actually initiate an investigation and i'm sorry but if i could just for a minute so i so we did um announce and begin and own initiative into pep and um and into the extent to which the use of further evidence and claims or disalliance of claims m was effective that is just beginning to draw to a close we are at the point of sending as we always do draft chapters and for factual accuracy to the department and and again i would ask that maybe when that is complete that the committee may be interested to actually see and understand a wee bit better the extent of that work and i've described that as i've seen lots of pep reports that present the perspective of the person claiming constituency office members who are dealing with pep reports advice services but this actually goes in behind those pep claimants and looks in behind the system of what is actually happening and how you end up with those decisions and i think it will be of real interest and i want to make sure that that the ombudsman's office is in a place to respond so where significant issues come up where we feel that there is a systemic issue and we need that kind of an investigation and again to me that's something that i'm sure members will have an interest in that we can undertake those chairman just i i appreciate you answering those margaret um i suppose to finish i would like to say 9.5 is not a small increase in terms of budget um i would be keen to understand i i appreciate um your efforts or your intentions yeah to to try and clarify the complaints procedures for society in northern ireland and therefore you'd anticipate extra complaints but i will be beyond the numbers of complaints how will you how will you know and how will we know how the public know that a 9.5 increase in the budget is going to represent value for money well i think there's a number of ways that you can know that and and i think if you look at for example and i know we've done some work on this in the past if you look at what it costs when something ends up as a medical negligence claim as opposed to a complaint process the cost of the public person that is hugely different if you look at what it costs in terms of peppa pigs around 14 million pounds i understand where if actually we were getting that right it should cost less so i think there will be a bit that's about what you actually stop in terms of those additional costs for me there's a bit that's about what are the outcomes for citizens so do citizens find it easier do you find in the people coming through your constituency office that they know where to go more easily do public services respond so they learn and improve more and we have less of those huge inquiries and that does not happen overnight and it doesn't happen without some investment and it doesn't happen without analysis and to be honest it also doesn't happen without your commitment and engagement so i think all of those things are for me part of looking at the outcomes of the office and and measuring some of the outcomes of change but i can't do that if i'm not don't have the staff to begin to put that in place thank you thank you alan chambers yeah just just a quick one just to follow on there about gemini is talking about local councillors uh and you're having the par to either give them a short ban or a expulsion from public life and parallel that with uh what you can't or can't do in relation to a council and so if in investigating a complaint against a local council you found that it was clearly quite bad quite unacceptable behavior by say a senior official in that council is your response always just to the corporate body um or do you have any powers to um or someone to take action against that official who maybe was guilty of quite bad or unacceptable behavior i think the the innovation to um local councils or other public bodies in northern ireland is not focused on conduct you know as opposed to the ethical standards called the conduct regime which is looking at elected members being held to a standard an account under a code of conduct specifically designed in a statutory framework so our focus on those investigations is not on unacceptable conduct it is about the actions of as you've described perhaps the body corporate in terms of how that body corporate has administered itself within you know the boundaries of legislation policy guidance and appropriate service so that there's an entirely different focus between these two different remits and functions which which is hard to kind of draw those parallels so for example for example we are not assessing the conduct or practice of individual officers of the council we are looking at the conduct of elected members of the council because that is what the court of conduct is there and established for us to do as the powers for which we have well who holds council officials in the account what what overview party can intervene and say look this is that would be a matter for the council itself to to assess um and hold their own officials and staff to account for their conduct um certainly as any other conversation taken within the council so sorry political decisions presumably a hr process within a council so that we'd go i would imagine we'd go through the council's hr process if there were particular individuals or officials so it's almost like an unemployment issue and and harpal describes us as what we are empowered to do under the legislation do you have power to refer issues in the council's corporate body to the local government order i'm not going to paul because i don't know yet um so can you repeat the first part of the question just to make sure if you discover that there's something amiss an array within in terms of how the count is operating as a corporate body do you have the power to refer that issue to the local government order yeah absolutely i mean we have the powers to refer i think specifically under or explicitly under the 2016 act for the first time we have the power to to refer any matter to a whole range of bodies and that could cover a range of issues around probity for example if it's the northern order office yeah we would also seek to share information where perhaps we see their remit or their strategic focus or plans or current work been more appropriate to catching issues um to give maybe a kind of example of that in relation to pip that would be you know we were aware that the northern ireland order office were undertaking one of their audits into the contract management of that pit arrangement but as we were looking at every margaret described that the pip from us at a different angle from a different angle in terms of injustice individuals in their experience we would have regularly um you know engaged with the order office and their team on that and passed information that we felt may be relevant to their contract for them to determine so yes that facility is there without the office and a whole range of other um commissioners and other bodies that we're taking to add as well thank you members time is against us have two points to make and have any paragraph 4.2 of the briefing tipper alludes to significant and far-reaching uh impact of the album's findings and recommendations can you provide some further information of examples of this for us please and just as briefly as you can so again that is within the own initiative we can make recommendations around high systemic change should be addressed so when i look at those individual complaints they will often give me a picture a metric in time a picture a snapshot when i look at my own investigation i am looking across a range of issues and so what we can propose in terms of recommendations for action is much more far-reaching because we're looking at it in a much more systemic way and i and i think when our pet report is complete the members will be interested to see some of that thank you and just another brief question has there been any update in relation to the commitment commencement of the complaint standards authority rule we either we have not heard and we haven't yet heard back from assembly commission on that but again i am keen to see that commenced and put in place because i think we really need it i think as citizens we really needed it for us in relation to that we did that we can certainly yeah yeah i would appreciate that thank you thank you thank you can maybe have a point just on the budget point about csa and the point about the 9.5 percent increase the csa powers as you were aware intended to be commenced right but earlier on the cycle and episode before the suspension of the assembly so i think you know we've always put into our budget plans that upon commencement this ring fence money for the csa powers would have landed probably earlier in the cycle it just so happens with the establishment of the the assembly they've landed in this year along with margaret's and wider improvement okay so thank you both um that's all we have for you for now but again my best wishes to you and thank you for being for us today thank you um members uh nixon are then this corresponds received from the cnag first of october 2020 regarding the audit committee meeting of the 16th of september 2020. and their fair members to pages 188 to 204 of the members packs are members happy to note corresponds or yeah should we have them on future stage uh when i refer members to 9.2 uh pages 205 280 member specs

they wish to feed back to the procedures committee chairman do you want to feed in your issue about being able to participate in debates remotely yes that may be something that we could but it's not really we can certainly explain the option about that yeah this is in reference to the particular emergency standing orders that were in place from the covet so certainly yeah we could yep bring something back in certain times where people may have to isolate and afford them the opportunity to similar to the westminster model because the difficulty with the situation at the same time is there are vulnerable members of the assembly that are forced to be here but could be actually engaging remotely in a more safer environment so i think it's worth exploring okay thank you um can i refer members to page two one of my respects and asked members of any views in the tempering star we've went through that sorry i'm covering something referred members to 9.5 pages 211 members back and take

YHfv8tNB3Ig	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHfv8tNB3Ig	Rating The Suits: Shattered Dimensions	you hear the Clow they cheer [Music] uh hey everybody it's scabi the one and only scabi back again with another rate the suits or rate the costume video that that also works um hope you like that cool little Montage edit beforehand uh I told you guys it wouldn't take this long to come out with another video right right okay all right I'm I'm really sorry for taking a bit too long but but to make up for it we're doing Shattered Dimensions which I will say is one of the best Spider-Man games it's it's up there it's it's one of the best not only is this the best Spider-Man game but it's the whole reason there's an entire spiderverse because without this game there would be no spiderverse so you got to thank this game for being the first game to introduce Spider-Man together what about the Spider-Man Caron shouldn't that also be considered as like the first crossover between Spider-Man it also has a neat costume selection too but before we get started though here's what I'm thinking about generally when I'm looking at these costumes and I'm going to talk about the game a little bit beforehand too but you can always Skip it's right there just just do it okay if you want to is this video going to be a long one I mean if it is I hope be like a long video you know stay put I guess oh jeez all right and as always thank you for stopping by and watching me play this game sorry if I was a little too loud I was a little too excited playing this game and yeah thank you all right I'm going to need a funny wacky transition like always um so by the time this game came out I had a conscience and I was able to realize how badass this game was you know like damn I'm I'm playing such a awesome some game and what I really think helps this game a lot is that there's it's not a big open world free roaming right it's level by level and it's able to have its own set pieces its own cool little um areas based around different Spider-Man eras and of Universe um my favorite being how they handled the Noir section which is you know just black and white and you know it can also be in color to when you're in the light but man it's so awesome how he takes down goons like Jesus dude calm down [ __ ] God damn bro he he he kicked out all his [ __ ] teeth Jesus dude not every single Spider-Man game needs to be open world and it would be cool to one day see a game like this it kind of return maybe a Shadow Dimensions sequel uh God knows that will never happen anyways um with each gr cool level there a different villain that's set in that Universe you know something like you know Craven Sandman but you got like the Hobgoblin which is like an original design made for this 2099 but then you got somebody like Deadpool you know Deadpool right you know funny breaking the fourth raw stuff like that but you know that that's 616 Deadpool we're talking about this guy is 1610 Deadpool from the Ultimate Universe and uh he's not very um he's not very good he's he's kind of mutant phobic is that what you call it and he also looks like this under the mask and also he dies by the the main continuity Deadpool 2 did you did you know that but if there's one thing that this game loves to do and it's the poov firsters shots like you're you're literally you're literally Spider-Man you're him here I come oh here I come oh and especially the fist fisticuff sections which I actually like you know it's pretty awesome but it does get a little you know like frustrating because I want to see Spider-Man doing these actions instead of the first person view it looks cool and all but like it's frustrating when I have to get these costumes like these cool shots and I I can't see it cuz I'm [ __ ] Spider-Man that has a GoPro on his goddamn skull all the time it's a little annoying but hey I like it and I don't like it and before we move on I got to talk about the soundtrack of this game we don't give enough love for soundtracks in games and this one has some banging Tunes all right I could I could literally spend all day like picking out tracks that I that I found enjoyable to listen to or just pump just just like oh man this is [ __ ] hype this shit's [ __ ] awesome dude what the [ __ ] anyways I'm just going to pick like at most three okay three it's that fair the 2099 theme in this game is like a sun it's like a rush not like an adrenaline pumping it's more like oh man I got to go let's let's do this let's go for it you know like really cool to hear and I believe they use like samples or they use some kind of inspiration from this music for across the sperse I might be lying but if it's true that's cool [Music] and the other soundtrack pick I got to choose because I realized if I did three it would have been way too long so I'm just going to pick two is the Carnage theme for this game is is absolutely like awesome dude it's so it's it's intense I will say and it's it fits Carnage very well it's it's why I used this theme in the in the last video web Shadows anyways just take a listen and I swear to god dude call me crazy or whatever but I I swear they took inspiration from Ultimate Spider-Man like OST and used it for this game cuz I can hear those same percussions they use from from that game in this game and and a lot more Hey listen some somebody somebody fact check that for me okay fact check that anyways here's a little more cuz it's cuz it deserves to be heard more [Music] okay [Music] God you hear those drums you hear that Orchestra like what's with the orchestra in the ultimate OST God holy [ __ ] this game makes my dick Rock and yeah um this game is always great just like I remembered it as a young lad fun to play and every Spider-Man fan should play it give it a go it's really fun and you you enjoy it all right all right I know you skipped to this part of the video it's okay might have taking my time talking about how much I love this game in the pier section but hey here you are if you decided to stick around before we move on I'm going to go from this order so I'm going to start with classic Spider-Man then ultimate to then Noir and then 2099 we'll finish it off with that also it's very hard to see two certain costumes with Noir so we might have to like look at those a little differently anyways let's take a look at the default costume as always so let take a look at what they've done to the classic Spidey outfit this time I will say this is definitely by far the best classic Spider-Man costume I've ever seen But the best one is in the next game spoilers anyways this this this costume just weaks of pure classic Spidey now it's always just nothing much when we try to dive in to dissect the classic suit besides them changing the logo on the front and the back and the lenses of course but like that's that's the that's the Perfection of a classic suit you know it's perfect and this is a very perfect suit the lenses are like that perfect length of wide you know it kind of reminds REM me of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suit and the logo on the front it's it's like it's in your face it's not too big it's not too small it's again like the perfect size honestly the only complaint and this just might be a me problem is that the fat Spidey s on the back is this stretched like a bit too much or is that just me I I don't know it's just weirding me out honestly I I really don't see any issues with this costume and if anything it's more a preference up to you whether you like it or not like if you prefer the more like Sky bluish kind of thing going on there or prefer like the wi lenses or not but this Spider-Man is supposed to evoke the classic Spider-Man you know the early days of Amazing Spider-Man and I think it does that perfectly and that's why it's an easy 10 wow that was uh kind of easy all right let's move on to the alternative costumes for this guy what what do we got what kind of pics do we got oh [Music] okay okay maybe it was a little too harsh on bombastic bagman in the very first Spider-Man episode you know you got to have that one you know pick you know that one weird goofy pick for a Spider-Man costume and here we have the bombastic Batman and you know what's pretty cool about this game is that they give you a little info on the right and the origin of where this costume originated from so that helps me a lot and I wish they could just add this again into the future add in a little info get give give the new people some cool new information so if you didn't read it um pretty much the just of this costume is um Peter didn't have a costume went to the Fantastic 4 he gave him uh the Fantastic 4 suit plastic bag and yeah but uh yeah this is a very comedic outfit on the back it says kick me so that's that's pretty funny and the pl classc bag has two Circle eye shape poses that that's pretty funny to look at too um what do you what do you want me to say about this costume I I genuinely don't know how to look at this costume it's it's not a Spider-Man costume technically it is but it's kind of not and people like it and I find it funny you know it's it's history it it happened so how about we just put this at a good middle of five what what do you want me to say oh his eyeo are different from the comics should put like a letter grade down okay let's just move on my [ __ ] God all right the suit has been has had a has had a long time coming I'll tell you what I I've been ready to talk about this suit because like why why why why do why do you got to waste the slot you know how many slots each Spider-Man has in this goddamn game only three costumes for each Spider-Man all right bombastic Batman took up one slot fine fair enough but you got to add Secret Wars Spider-Man I grew up just disliking this costume and my opinion still hasn't changed like the only thing I really like about this costume is the black and orange which is kind of unique you know orange webbing but that that that's it and then the comic that this costume debuted it it [ __ ] barely shows up you want to know you want to see you want to see the costume and and it's full Glory of here you go oh what you can't see it hold on let me let me turn to the other page oh you still can't see it oh it's actually his hands right there that's all you're going to see that's it oh and the cover yeah and there's also some con part it but I'm not I'm not looking that I'm not [ __ ] looking that up I just I just don't get this costume why do they have to add it like in mostly every other [ __ ] Spider-Man game I I I don't get it why do do people like this I don't get like what with the weird like blue and like weird like sweater Fest thing it's it's like a it's like what swimmers wear when they surf or some [ __ ] like that what's going on what's going on with this goddamn costume stop adding it I I might be overreacting for like funny haha YouTube but like I I generally don't understand this costume at all like I want to get you dude but like I don't and I'm starting to genuinely dislike you very much so you're just you're just going to be a three for now maybe maybe four I don't know I I I don't know the only cool thing you got going for your buddy is is the cool aggressive eyes that kind of remind me we Shadows but you're staying [ __ ] three for now okay you on thin eyes I better not see you again in the next goddamn game okay stay out of my territory you swimsuit [ __ ] okay uh next costume with two mediocre costumes out of the way the last suit that you'll be able to wear for uh The Amazing Spider-Man here is scard Spider Man doesn't he just look great as always I'm pretty sure at this point we're all accustomed to who this guy is clone of Peter Parker created by the Jackal um you know thinks he's the real Peter Parker for a while um it's it's weird clone saga stuff don't worry about it but he's his own thing now and this was his first costume that he wore I believe um they pretty much nailed um scir spider you know they got his gauntlets they got the belt which I always forget to mention bracelets around his feet and the the the the chest symbol you know the logo it changes from time to time sometimes it's small plus of the time it's big I prefer if it was big just like in the game I will say though that the hoodie he's wearing in this game is more like a weird tattered vest like where the with the hoodie part right the hood it's just tattered and it's like weird like it's more of like a vest than anything else and um as always this is a me thing I'm not a big fan of the the gauntlets or the bracelet around his feet I don't know I don't like it that's me though maybe you enjoy it that's cool you can't go wrong with the Scarlet sparter costume you know it's like it's it's awesome everybody likes it I like it I'm just me not a big fan of the like I said but um but I don't think I should downgrade this because I don't like what I like on the costume but other people might like it it's weird I'm not going to think about it so I'm going to put this at a nine I'm thinking a 10 however I'm not I prefer if it was a hoodie instead of How It's tattered but hey because it's tattered it kind of looks cooler right so hey think of it as a 10 or a nine you know I it's hard to choose between so let's leave that nine maybe it's a 10 what is that it's our inheritance I thought I knew I could finish what he started it definitely improves your enjoyment if you played Ultimate Spider-Man the game or uh read the issues like I did and it gives more weight to the suit he's wearing especially if you didn't 100% complete that game well in this game it's the default and you know symbiot moves and everything it's [ __ ] great I love it anyways this is the youngest Peter I believe he is 16 and he comes from the Ultimate Universe Earth 1610 and even though he only wears the black suit like very briefly very briefly it's the most coolest Symbio design in my opinion that I love it's it's really that purple Sheen you know it's like eye candy I can't stop looking at this thing and they don't make it complicated it's simple it's sleak and that skinny build this young Peter has kind of makes this suit look even cooler in a way I can't describe it oh and the fact that this isn't an alien symbiote it's something made by Peters and Eddie Brock's dad I believe to fight cancer so it's very unique from any other Symbio like it doesn't even share the same weakness is like Sonic vibrations it doesn't affect this suit at all maybe fire I don't know it's a very weird Symbio um yeah um this thing is going to be a 10 no surprise I feel like if I say so otherwise I'm going to be put like at the Stak on the cross I mean I I I agree with you guys and I I really want to gush more about this suit but that'll be me delving into the game play and I'm here to look at costumes but like Jesus the game play of this guy is awesome I love the tendril attacks can I just say that that that's my favorite thing tendril attacks love [Music] them to be honest beforehand I thought the symbiot movet was going to like rear me out a bit considering that these costumes aren't symbiote related but honestly it's it's fine by me you know it doesn't bother me one bit and it definitely doesn't make me enjoy this costume like less I I actually am very fond of this costume it's very like look at it it's it's so good there's this blue undertone that's applied to the costume and it really accentuates the suit like even more not only that but if you're a fan of the ultimate costume and maybe you wanted like an upgraded version like a better version from Ultimate Spider-Man well here you go it's here granted though he's a little taller in this game but hey he looks cool overall just look at him I just I just want you to look at him he's got them big eyes and he looks skinny so there you go I'm uh I'm not too sure what else to say about this costume it's just a it's a variation of the classic suit you know and if you're like Ultimate Spider-Man maybe you wanted a better version of the costume from Ultimate Spider-Man the game here you go yeah and I and I like it very much and this is definitely the last time we're going to see this ultimate Spider-Man look again so I'm giving it a [Music] 10 so does Peter never really wore this outfit actually he he never even wore any other costume other than his main costume but besides that they they gave it to him because well he he fights Electro and and it makes sense but um basically the suit was created to fight Electro no duh alongside the X-Men and uh it looks pretty cool looks pretty snazzy you can tell it's a Spider-Man costume but you know there's differences obviously like the logo has changed and it's more how do you how do what do you call it like padded and plus The Wider lenses uh actually fit you know this Ultimate Universe is Peter cuz he has wider lenses so there you go and I've run out of things to say about this costume I I guess if you like the whole rubber padded look has going on for it then yeah you you'll enjoy it I like how different it is from a usual Spider-Man costume kind of but it's still Spider-Man through and through he definitely looks neat and that's why he's going to be a neat okay maybe he's a n but I'm indiff I can't choose I'm a silly Billy I can't decide even though it's it's kind of my job to rate this I'm not even getting paid anyways he'll stay a seven for now it's a fine suit I like it it's it's definitely a lot better than the next costume coming [Applause] up so this pet is origin is he's from like the spider Clan and his uncle died by Venom not the Symbiote it's like a weird Samurai anyways he gets revenge or something and recruited by the spiderverse people but there's an issue with this costume in this game and that it's they didn't go for the over exaggerated look like in the comics or how they did it in the PS4 Spider-Man game and instead they try to match it to this you know um taller ultimate Peter and I'm not a stickler to Comic accuracy but like I feel like they could have you know at least made his head like weird and you know like a xenomorph just like in the comics or how like the PS4 did it but instead they they didn't you want to know what they did instead is copied the face like part like down to his neck from the ultimate Spiderman costume and pasted it on to this guy's head and I swear to God they they look just the same I think that's what they did they copy and pasted it oh and I I guess they made the hands big and the shoes big like but like if you want if you're going to go all the way go all the way don't don't have ass at least come on okay I'm being a little rude they something must have happened or they didn't really have an idea or the time to put in another costume for Ultimate Spider-Man and they came up with this but uh generally overall at least they got some parts of it right like the logo they got his backpack and everything so that's cool um but to me the the mangga V Spider-Man is he he's like okay but in this game it's it's a four it's done better in the future anyways we're at the halfway point of the costume selection so let's take a look at the next Spider-Man you can't escape me coward [Music] now this Spider-Man is definitely like up there as one of my favorites he didn't immediately become Spider-Man after his uncle died which mind you his uncle died by the vulture who the vulture just ate him but after witnessing and photographing like a bunch of horrible stuff and as soon as that spider bit him and he realizes he has powers he just you know went ahead and just went full in the goggles and mask are like pilot fighter stuff from his Uncle Ben who served in the war swn together and I believe the trench coat is also from his Uncle Ben and he always has a gun strapped on him just in case he's just a very cool Spider-Man overall you know he's very wishy-washy about killing but man is he brutal and he just he's just so cool look at him those goggles that light up and everything he doesn't have his trench coat which is probably like game play reasons or they couldn't add it but he still looks cool without it however if there's one thing that this game does just weirdly is they give him a back logo and they do this for $299 too but like I I don't know why they add it I think they add it because you know for you to look at because you're looking at the characters back the all time but like I don't know it's it's weird they you didn't need too and I don't know how to feel about it but um yeah he's just super cool and his all aesthetic is based on late 1930s the Depression era and he's fine with a trench coat or without a trench coat it's tomato tomato but hey the trench coat would be cool for now I'm going to stick Spider-Man Noir to a 10 cuz I don't remember when he comes back as a costume but but that back logo though can send the letter grade down depending on people's opinions and to me it's it's whatever I don't know why it's there but it's there but it won't affect [Music] me all right hear me out I know some of you just looked at that costume you're like ew what the hell is that but but just just hear me out it's it's not that bad this is concept art turned into a alternative costume in this game that he almost wore but but hey thankfully he didn't so why do I say this costume isn't all that bad well it's I I feel it gives off that classic Spidey suit Vibe so you know if you're feeling like all right it's too dark for this guy you can put this on and it it it definitely gives off that Vibe I will say this there's an issue with these this colorful costume and the next one is that you can't really see all the colors that much in the dark and you're barely in the light sometimes which is why I'm here fighting in this lit up area of the game but yeah um if you're wondering this costume is like Lea and it's supposed to be sepia and the blue is Pigeon gray and I don't really get the whole weird dot pattern and I'm not a big fan of the goggles either so but I do like the Shen guards which I like to call the Invincible guards but that's me and this is going to be like a six [Music] um if you noticed that was kind of a bad transition well I I couldn't find like a cool shot for this guy for for for a transition so that's that's the best you're going to get that's that's why there's these there's this issue with these colorful costumes and it's hard to look at when you're like moving around sneaking around but during the light it looks good besides that this particular Peter comes from Earth 311 where the setting is the 1600s and this Peter grew up with Nick Fury the the white one eventually he's been by spider all the same but the weird thing is is that he doesn't wear the specific costume well specifically The Mask it changes the rest of the outfit is it's pretty much the same except the mask the only time I actually found him weing this entire fit you see in chat Dimensions was when he was performing in the Globe Theater we had Mary Jane and her dad until he was [ __ ] impelled and got the the [ __ ] soul suck out of him like Shang Tsung and died 1602 Spider-Man is definitely a very unique pick that you'll never ever see again until the next game I think so it's it's pretty cool to see him it looks like he wears white gloves but it's he actually wears no gloves at all it's just his hands but it's supposed to invoke the whole you know 1600s look with those weird goofy ass shoes and that English looking vest which also encompasses the weird big spider logo in the back which I don't mind this is a very old Spider-Man so I don't expect them to you know go all out or anything very minuscule makes sense for the time and I do like him without the lenses you don't you don't see that often at all overall I think he's really neat you know he's a seven he's only being hampered by the Noir levels and how they are considering how dark it is so so you're going to be see how good this guy is or how you know fun he is and colorful so let me just have this and put him out of seven cuz you're you're [ __ ] going to barely see him ever again [Music] okay this is pretty much the coolest costume for Noir so far and it's a Negative Zone Suit and and look at that thing dude it's perfect for the dark and the setting that the Noir levels are set in and pretty much the gist of this costume is that P one to the negative Zone his costume got all oh no it and now it's black and white and I feel most gemes have different like ideas in the durations that this costume is based off of like this one like some things are a little different that I noticed like it's more gray than like clear white and there's some wrinkles in there too which is some nice added detail although I'm not sure if if there is supposed to be even webbing on the negative Zone Suit maybe there is in another page I don't know and they kept the eyes completely dark and the lenses around it white so hey there's your comic accuracy however upon closer expection of this costume I notice it's kind of a repaint of the Ultimate Spider-Man costume except he looks a little bulkier maybe I I don't know but you can see side by side it's um it's it's similar and I'm not sure how that affects his costume and I guess they didn't have time to uh probably make a unique um Negative Zone costume I don't know maybe it's not the same maybe I'm just looking into things maybe I'm going crazy again if you can look past that it's a recolor of the Ultimate Spider-Man costume um it looks pretty cool you know swinging around doing cool stuff takedowns with this costume looks good in the dark cuz well it's a dark costume unlike the concept one and and 1602 which is where they're more colorful so with that all in mind um this is the coolest one Noir has so I'm going to put it out of nine and it's not a 10 because I I I think being a recolor of another costume doesn't really help it much and you know the default Noir costume is just cool as all hell so like but hey this is an option too and it's not a bad one at that this day is yours yeah then how come I feel so so bad about [Music] it all right now this is a lot of people's new favorite ever since [ __ ] the cross spider came out and I can't blame them this isn't Peter Parker as you know this is Miguel O'Hara who has given the powers of the Spider by a machine that he was kind of forced into but unlike Peter he has retractable Talons in his hands and feet so he doesn't stick to walls instead he uses these Talons to you know climb and they could be very uh deadly sharp weapons too he has fangs in his teeth to paralyze opponents they're they're not poisonous it's it says paralysis and like some other stuff in there too I don't know so so he's not a vampire okay not a vampire those are spart fangs and with all these great powers and everything he has to have a cool ass suit to go with it which is from his closet to celebrate the Day of the Dead But he refreshed it into the Spider-Man costume but the suit is fitted with unstable molecule something created by Reed Richards and it's pretty strong all right that's that's all you got to know about it not not not that kind of stuff you see in the across the spiderverse movie no no no no this is Reed Richard's patented good [ __ ] right here besides all that this suit looks great and after the many games that introduces costume beforehand we finally get a really good version of the suit what I also like is there's this light that's traveling through his body so it doesn't look just like a blue costume but there's still some added detail onto this 2099 costume besides that there's that great muscle definition and maybe a little bit of padding as well not to mention they finally give him those cool sharp edges near his arm and elbows I mean I've never seen him use those like once before but they look cool as hell and to like a accompany the red stripe that goes down his arm finally he's just a very sharp looking Spider-Man in this game you know like look at his back that looks sick but uh like I said in the nor section he also has a back logo in this game um I could do with or without it I don't know it's funny looking also this has nothing to do with costume but why why is he given like only one Beatdown POV in this game with the Hop Goblin like come on man I think I'm going to put this guy at of 10 cuz uh like this is the best 2099 I've seen so far and I think he might look better in the next game but for now he'll be a 10 and maybe if I see a better version this will be downgraded to a nine and uh not else to say about this guy he's [ __ ] awesome I can't wait to see beyond spider verse in 2030 oh boy so um I don't have like a cool shot to free frame and do like a like what I've done to the other costumes before but like it's like a 40 minute long video dude let me have this one okay okay all right shitty intro aside this is a pretty you know fun character It's actually an Android that was created like before 2099 and it was like supposed to mimic the first superhero it came across with and it already had recorded some one hero in particular which is Spider-Man I believe basically 299 helped fix flip side and it couldn't identify him so it adopted Spider-Man and Venom you put that together and it created this psycho murderous Android but it can to be a weirdly friendly thing I don't know it's a weird guy I will say he does look a little ugly but during the game it does feel more like a robot except I don't know it's just kind of like a weird red bodysuit than anything else but the blue helps along with the cool like metallic webbing has going on as well if anything he's just a fun reference to the 2099 comics and I guess you can say that same argument for bombastic bagman as well like I said I'm going to be less harsh on that guy for now right but yeah I mean uh he's just a weird looking design like a bizarre version of 2099 or just Spider-Man in general some last thoughts before I rate him um I think he looks cooler in the comics so like maybe instead of the blue they went for the game they could have went for the black maybe they try that and then look at that good but uh I don't know I think he would look cooler in Black he just seems more menacing in the comics than here oh and instead of adding like the cool eyes for the big spider logo in the middle it's just a BBS a big black spider in the Middle with that in mind I think he's fine he's a six you know I think he could be done better in the future but I don't think they put him in the game ever again after this so sorry flip side okay a favorite of mine returns and it's the spider armor and to sum it up really quickly cuz I already did in the last video Peter's very first armor he wore against a group of villains you know was bulletproof all that it broke off and he never wore it again but a lot of people like this outfit and I do too and I don't know why I like this costume until I realize that they make it look way cooler in the games I mean it looks cool in the comics but in the games they just it just looks badass if I had to tell you my favorite part about the spart armor costume is the black like nanofiber black carbon kind of going on under the whole metal exterior it just I don't know I it looks cool it just it's like Eye Candy of course the metal plating is pretty cool too and it has a unique front logo and back logo to accompany it not only that but this suit also uh does that shining thing that goes throughout the whole body it did that for Philip slide I forgot to mention but for the spider armor it goes through the segments of the suit like look at that that's cool that's a cool little detail that's awesome and the lenses are just pure bright white and just go along with the mask and it's just good I'm just going to waste no time at all and put this at a 10 it's always it's always cool to see it and I it may be a turnoff if people don't like how it shines throughout the whole body but like come on man it goes through the segments that's awesome anyways 10 let's move on [Music] and the last costume for 2099 and this entire video technically I'll tell you later is iron spider which was made by Tony Stark to give to Peter Parker you know bulletproof you know yada yada all the good stuff but the retractable arms that are cool except the suit is pretty tainted by the Civil War events and he never wore it again I will say that this isn't my favorite out of the whole array of costumes out there but I can see why people prefer this costume way more than the MCU one but hey it does look cool in this game I will admit comparing this to SP to the spider armor from before this doesn't really feel all that um how do you say like armored or anything you know it feels more Sleek but it does have that red jumper suit whatever you call it that the flip side problem has but if you want to compare it to the comics St they pretty much got it right and you know they have that circle thing in the back too bad no retractable arms but hey what are you going to do but just like the costumes before it it does have like some light flashing throughout the entire body but this time it's colored red to accompany you know the whole red aesthetic maybe maybe gold could have worked too bright yellow but you know Red's fine it's Unique but um here's some more footage of him running around um I literally don't really have all that much to say it's just the iron Spidy suit and they did it well enough in this game again I'm not the biggest fan of it but uh I can enjoy it for what it is at least you don't have to collect [ __ ] 700 emblems like in web a Shadows like what the hell dude Christ to finally give this thing a rating I'm going to give it an eight because I like I said I don't know what else to say they did it right I see no issues really a lot of mistakes I will say that the red is a lot better than the wub Shadows but yeah that's all I can say but wait there's more if you pre-order it from GameStop or what the whatever the [ __ ] you had to do you get four additional new costumes that you can never get ever and it's these four Cosmic suits based on cosmic Spider-Man and they're all unique to each other I mean look look look at this trailer from from like 12 years ago look how cool these these costumes are like what the hell but um yeah I can't review these costumes properly myself um I I guess you could just look up a YouTube video of somebody you know recording them but even then uh I'm just going to rate them from how cool and unique they are from each other like starting from left Spider-Man that's that's a nine I guess Noir that one's pretty unique that's a that's a 10 like Cosmic powered Noir with them white pants that's that's pretty badass and he keeps the black boots too that's pretty cool Symbio Ultimate Spider-Man now that's pretty that's pretty dope look at that instead of the white it's all black so that's cool even the even like the what do you call it molecules are black that's pretty cool and 2099 it's pretty much uh it's pretty much the Amazing Spider-Man but like lighter in tone and that's the end of that um thank you guys for stick around who watch till the end of this sorry again for taking way longer than usual you know yada yada life issues cropping up just this just how it is but hey at least I cranked out a 40 minute video for you guys to watch if you enjoy my content like but like why why do you but if you really like what I do um I usually stream every so often so you can check me out there on my twitch as well thank you for whoever watches the streams and especially you people who watch it after it's over I I don't blame you you do that you do you and I guess I would now declare that this is the longest video so far on my channel and if it wasn't for any issues during the editing process I would have uh put this out earlier but there there's more than that I'm scabi the one and only scabi and thank you for watching forget to subscribe all right but you have to admit with four

Ci2MLnKiDFM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci2MLnKiDFM	Efren Bata Reyes vs Earl Strickland, The Masters 9-Ball Championships 2001	there's no place I'd rather be on a fine strength evening than the booth with my good friend buddy the rifleman Hall were at the finals of the first u.s. masters buddy what a match we have in store for our viewers the first competitor is afrin Raiders great player great player one that's where he'll ever lay eyes on her all Strickland there's ours he's our other competitor yeah down to two players for the title a race to 13 we're in Chesapeake Virginia it's April 29th 2001 in the year of our Lord and Efrain has won the lag our was the only player who has not lost a match I say one thing he could possibly lives on ever ensign 950 something last match and this is a repeat of the of the winner's bracket match so here we go oh that's close to making one well I think we're gonna see your bank the one vault into the three ball don't you yes yes and you like using maybe a dissolution of all to touch a left English there yeah just a touch its touch there's a nice medium speed you don't want to blast it or anything you want to come to realize out of that target I don't the problem the shot is you can get stuck the hook behind something if you don't if you did the one I mean the three on the right hand side it's like we get my hand all that cluster of all right right you missed a hopeful well he hit it a little hard and that shortened it up mm-hmm well this isn't so easy buddy I don't see a great way to obtain quality position on the two ball it is the ball it's about where the fireball spot is a little different that's the too long and it goes here or the combination is workable but other than that I don't see much I don't see an easy way to get there and I play sure maybe not the best shot in the world but it's a shot you play the one in here you play this real and play the cue ball to right here and play the combination to three he hit when he played it different I don't know what he's doing here he's gonna planning to play the billiard I think he's gonna play doctor all right but you think he's gonna cut it into the three ball we started with a thousand players down to two he's gonna twist this in low right English hey they're off to a shaky start well if I'm Earl I'm delighted to get this second opportunity the four ball passes underneath the nine the five ball seems to be the problem to me buddy it doesn't go in many pockets now I don't know the tents the six they're not I think he'll play it no I think he paid played in the side pocket by the seventh ball he's got a good angle to do that yeah he can just float forward here this little imps I think perfect you used the whole pocket didn't it yes it did now he can go on this I like where he's looking here on the 7 he wants to get an angle where he can cut the 60s right a little bit or he doesn't have to do that he can draw it back yep the 6 to his left her hair that's funny things yeah perfect like this now you can punch out above the 7 ball like this good shot now the 7 on the corner of the 8 inside and he's going to go ahead one game for nothing and I'm surprised at Efrain missing that excellent opportunity walk it out imagine now it's been a long week but I want to talk about this great staff Pat and Pete Fleming julian robertson Dean Gupton is cameramen along with Sean Robertson his first time here with the active status of crew and we've got Merlin globe that done a wonderful job I don't even know how they do it they took the country I mean took the equipment all around the country it takes them two days to get set up and then to tear down there's an incredibly difficult job they're hard-working boys oh but I give him a pretty good crew a year in and week out they turn out a quality product I see their Earl went to the other side Green well I mentioned that in the last telecast about how he preferred this side of the table he's getting excellent results look at him contact that one was real solid miss it but he didn't make anything boy he sure made a lot of them past the side that I I'll show you the problem here as I see it this 3/7 the one to the two is not any particular problem there in the three I think passes the seven up in the corner or let it make it a lot easier but as well what buddy's talking about if it does to get quality position you have to lay the few ball right here we're gonna cut the tree to his right to get on the four ball hey [Music] he's gonna get you know you just go around them in here hit play and rails around then I believe yep I'm gonna go right up there and play the three to five you got hit yeah he's a little weak sure yes that's tough out there you bet I can hurt you man right that well it's hard to gauge the severity of the angle from right up here in the booth now he's just a little tentative it's all he's got a bit of a slavish part but he needs to get out here nice shot watch out for the eight watch out for the four well I don't know buddy what do you think he's got I can't Bank to four because he can't get on the fire ball well if he did bank before the only thing you have is he draws cue ball back toward the seven now that is a shot I like here I don't know if he'll shoot it I'll show you it's two or three ways I like thinning it knocking the four over here you hear the cue ball here here here that's a good shot that's a good shot well I don't want to hear such a thin that I put it right in the middle of the 5/8 because I might leave a dead bigger door combination that's what I thought he might do right there okay that's a great shot great under pressure that's even more magnificent this is gonna be a good match and yeah I can go up and down the table or news I'm signing and she's such a great lover of inside Englishness he does that he loves it all right well that's not an easy shot if you just do one thing easy about that you're on the wrong side of it no he's all right just far enough I've ever want to get straight in this is fine I was asked to mention well you know what a fondness these two guys have for each other - they've been getting along splendidly throw that in and we'll have that dispensed with and this match is going to be not as uptick one game each momentarily now are they gonna mark their score down there or we just gonna keep it on our money well you're a market both places yeah good deal they put it on the Monica 1-1 and let's talk about quality tournaments don't you have a fine event and their dog you'll love I'm impressed it's an inaugural yes it's the Superman classic in metropolis Illinois 25,000 added one hundred and fifty dollar entry fee and I'm getting a tremendous about amount of response from them from all the players and the the papers and the the bigger news is and the video digest proven be amazing all of them I'm getting just a great response from everybody well I'm looking forward to it already I liked 150 dollar entries because that makes it attractive I'm gonna try to raise the added money next year and have a lower entry fee I'm gonna try to get I don't try to get into where a person can come to that tournament doesn't be a mountain to stay there cost them around 400 350 400 nobody I see the 8 and 9 he needs to get on the end rail if he plans to play the combination I don't believe the 8 goes and I don't know about you I well actually I do know about you I kind of prefer to plan right now what I'm going to do is at 8 9 I'm gonna have something over my head what I want to do it I'm sure he's gonna plan he's going to play position on a 7 to come to round around play that 8 and then combination right he's gonna drag it straight in on a 6 so I can draw it back just a little for the 7 of course that's down the road that's a good job yep he wants an angle here to play for it be a place trading on the six he's a jumpy magic perfect okay he's gonna play the angle about just a little left of where he's at right there in order to get two wheels around on the eight nine here's you 217 go to reals maybe hit the third rail down here bet the last name and sure being careful not to adopt an angle at my program describe exactly and it's perfect that's where he wanted to be that's what he's doing taking a little extra time he does not want to scratch right you don't want to rub the ball on that I'd be ideal I think that's fine Kelly got it to his left some but that's okay he played it to the middle diamond which is to say for you to play he's gonna over cut this I find it helps to use English I've written a new book called bet high pitch low and bad language offend you don't get it and instructions for how to order this book will be at the end of this great tape thanks for your kind patronage and so forth well if I had to pick an agent and break the apartment I would give it to Errol stricken wouldn't you and I would definitely give it to Earl now look at this listen notables the dural has defeated Remlinger it's off the monitor but he defeated tried a number of terrific players well he changed his break though I don't know if he came out into the middle of the table to break the balls before he was breaking off the rail well you've got a push here I think there's no way to thin this ball he hits it thin enough to get it safer the cue ball might hit the five well and he could also Bank it over around the 6 to have to play all the way down that's touch risky you can't push out to that because if you get any easier than what it is they can do that now it's just tough I don't know what I would do with this well if he could hit the left-hand side of the one you can play me I can well he can play well why is he pushing out in now you can really hit the left-hand side of the one deferral killing on this I just drop him over there for the six well it's a free time to put it by the section because the seven two and nine balls will stop the one ball right he's not going right over the right down there by them go out well they got a sucker and he didn't even lucky as he can be he right there he got very lucky there well he made a good hit now here's a place where I kind of like mass sadness either side of the one he's got action he's gonna go to the end royo because he can't have tied to one I mean it the two up brother thank you I got lucky first [Applause] don't forget about getting lucky why they forget how you're perfect I don't remember the good rolls I just remember the bad night nice I mean wow this is a tough safety ger there's nothing easy there's a shop that I like here I will illustrate it I like banking the one like up in here and say thank you ball over in here and and he should be behind the six if he is at the right speed and if not he leaves it pretty tough anyway bath home for I don't know great now my house you Titian that's what I meant yeah that's a good champagne that's what I meant he did look pretty good yeah well you just got a one real kick here I believe that's all they had I'd rather go 3 ryos except at the three maybe a touching away right no date maybe think that's all you do teddy that's nobody tried to go through your house you know what I think he tried to do Grady I think he tried to hit it one real okay that was high ball and what happens if when it gets real dry in here that ball lengthens out but most of the time is not dry in here yeah so that angle would have been true yeah sure sure now is this number of ways to play this he could go one regular with nine ball one regular the two ball two rails into the two ball I think I do this and play safe well I think the man was deader and George Washington a society didn't even look at that I don't know what he did here that he can't even stop the cue ball and put it behind the nine I don't thank people Australian play position with a Congo well maybe he can or he wouldn't have done this and he's banking the bone he's shooting to make it that's a good time a good thing he didn't make it he might have been - yeah he hooks it stuff well I like going to rails here not one I know one thing Earl's gonna pick up the pace or he's not gonna win this match I like this right here buddy one two and into it that way I think it's any guy here hit better chance to win I I hate having to go above the forum short see he went actually went too short yeah [Music] being on two won't matter they've got a nice angle here this is my favorite angle for this kind of stuff come out derail walk to the shop hello left English you come back towards the seven well he's playing the whole pocket on everything all right or efficiently preparing to go ahead three games to one and as aforementioned rocks okay ended up in third place Alex Tiger Lane finished fourth I finished last not quite last I got the money I hid the money honey that's better not getting it yes it is not even close you can break out a little table again I wouldn't call it the table but you mentioned ate one of the earlier broadcast how much you like this break feud with the long ridge and you thought you'd try it all right I am but he's using a bridge now he was going off no there he is - yeah see how long is I am gonna try that look at the ball scatter hit him well I like to get on this two ball where he can cut it to his left and float the cue ball over for the three ball in the same pocket or he could plan to play the combination but I don't think that that's the right shot oh he's right there right there that's exactly perfect everything just connect the dots here or you can just get on the well the eye ball to either have to play the combination I'll get a good angle on the floor yeah I believe that would play to get an angle on the fourth now if the four goes to the side comfortably you can just draw this back and towards the four ball you'll have the right angle looks like it well just like this now you can come across one natural rail for perfect position on the fireball nice nice now you go up one rail to the right side of the eight ball or two rails to the right side of the eight like this and that's a good shot I just got a nudge that inside and probably play the six seven ball excuse me in the right-hand corner pocket just like that do about anything you want to with his 8-ball I kind of like maybe playing position for the side pocket yeah good shot and just like that after these two very easy shops will get three to two game with zero strict them in the lead a port no streets or anything right it is I would get some early a queue that averages and see what these gentlemen are shooting there's a nice shot of URLs happening girl ran four miles this morning he runs four miles every morning place but when he plays golf he walks guys in good shape well I think that's what it takes nowadays they have to be mentally and physically prepared yep good between thieves great modern-day champion I think soon oh he kind of hit it with the easy break can he make the ball if he doesn't get straight in if you got action here but he that's straightish and Earl is at a nine 23-page ray is nine parachuting me 792 and that's mostly because of a couple of bad kick shots nobody this is rough he's you really got to spend this he got spending a lot I don't shoot I'm not sure I wouldn't go real first with like I just above hunter of awful small pockets here okay I don't know maybe get beyond the eight here we'll see oh that's a pretty minimal he had a lot of juice on of these two and get down point it but he got now going there for real first yes we did I like hitting this fairly easy so I don't hit this too hard the problem with this is if you get a shot three it's gonna be a long one it's gonna be a long shot unless you draw it oh what's he doing well maybe he's got a curve to get far enough in there to go real first and make it he's got a shot but it's a long one well he's got some choices here I he might be able to miss the five if he hits it easy but I'm not so sure I wouldn't just go to make this yeah it is a pretty good clip and there's an excellent chance you'll have a good shot with a fireball I believe he's going to sense the three you have a think you can just make news like this to make it three I didn't think he was gonna roll that's a great shot great shot I like the fact that the way he shot it it's almost 100% mics on a three woman dribbling that ball long distance and battle conditions is usually bad news now one rail underneath the seven like that nice shot now the rest of this rack pretty much a foregone conclusion I don't know why I did that I could have gotten straight in would have been a little easier well and he'd draw it over to about the third diamond on the lower left hand yeah so straight across table oh he had a better angle okay well buddy is getting ever more interesting it's gonna be knotted up at three games each these guys like to play heel heel matches anyway what are you calling your tournament the Superman classic Superman fight okay there's a an encampment that goes on there between on the days of the 6th through the 10th and there are thousands of people show up they make they do a lot of crafts and stuff and their people lives out there in tents and everything a thousands of people show up there in those days so I don't think we're gonna have any problem with an audience I don't like that break I don't either that break is not worth a quarter it's kind of like the deal about a good big man will feed a good little man and all other things being equal I believe if you've cracked the vault a little harder than your opponent with accuracy that good results will occur meanwhile this doesn't go anywhere does it visible this eye straight in oh okay he's in the business Amy just roll it straight forward good shot now a little inside English and lay the cue ball over right about the right hand side pocket I read the chart thank you just stop the ball or draw back a little bit I know pop I'm hearing it go forward you don't take him along this no it sure doesn't know they had one match of this tournament last year for three hours personally I think we need to take steps to address that sort of situation that's ridiculous three hours from yeah a race to 11 which it was just brought back pass straight in on the seven like this our go is go wrong here it is go down to the end rail and back up a few kisses better ho hey just went a little farther than he meant to good shot and her frickin go to hit four games to three [Applause] they changed shirts when he played the semi-final match earlier hit on a bright pink shirt yeah he's changing sighs look at this buddy you moved to the other side of the table yeah there's the a key step current averages Earl and a torrid 943 rays that are not so bad 849 he'd be over 900 word not for the couple Kate Burton he missed four kick shots he doesn't usually miss the kick shots right well he almost mr. one yeah he did but the kick sounds be almost missed the one he did not make a solid contact there didn't you didn't ya be happy to just still be at the table well sure now he's got an easy safety or he could Bank the one but you know the safety Earl will play safe sometimes and I think this would be well-advised and mr. current situation don't you yeah I just stretch it out a little drop it down below the a just dick right there you know I take no chances with like that yeah that's even better because it completely took away the short rail yeah now this is one that I definitely like going three rails while most recruits and players do nothing he's going one okay no he went three good look they have cleared him yeah he can see at least the left side of it you know they call him the magician for that reason I mean he does a lot of things of that nature I think he's just trying to hit that more sure of it here somehow accidentally go in a little more often than everybody else yeah a lot might shoot at this he has room to go real first yeah he's probably not going to have position or my three ball but I think this is worth the attempt or you could go lengthwise that's not a bad shot either a better chance to get safe if you miss it and that fact that's British Irish well that's a lost there he's got a free bank at least I believe it will be a loss can't he loved this up with left English and he doesn't even have to draw to get the people to go around the 8 and over towards the left side of the three ball this is an absolutely free shot if he doesn't have to elevate the cue he doesn't have to do anything - all right this is with a little left time but he's got to make it he brought him a shot he can hit it well if he can hit it I don't know if he can hit it there yeah hit it guaranteeing hit or it doesn't look like it from my vantage point I may be wrong but I believe in hit it okay well I believe he would have already I have a better angle than I think he would have already shot if he could hit it don't you yeah you're right the mountain girlfriend if I can maybe completely hooked well here it goes well he may be able to go rail first gently a little bit from his left to his right meanwhile he's in business here buddy but he was actually kicking it well I think he was too now whether we can get her left or the last to admit I think you said it right then he was most surprised person in the joint there have been a lot of times our joint careers where we have been above surprise people for the place yeah like I said you can talk to yourself you can even answer yourself just don't say huh not to rail out of the far left-hand corner just like that in a little two-foot huh you gotta be careful stuff I get Earl tell me he's okay here well when he hit it he thought he hit it too hard all right five to three or a Strickland [Applause] she catch up with her only thing well now yeah even when I got him going my way Anita runs two racks you know yeah well he's played the best nine ball of all the players in the tournament in my view and I suspect he's well up from the 900th in the finals here yeah we'll know in a little while yeah he's he's round up there he ever and missed that kick so all got points for that he'd be giving playing backing away from the one or oh man we never missed the bank so then our all ran out I'd say he's shooting probably run man sixty okay oh that's off behind was she no he jumped a table that'll take some way that's just whatever needed it was 954 before the knocking up this wall beside I just try to get I like to get straight in on this - ball being a right handed player I mean if I can exactly try to get straight in on the exactly find out if I could just reach my arm over over the table three balls on the far right hand side there anyway he's in business here hello left English he wants to come beyond the seventh ball like this beautifully done now the force by the Sun on left-hand side pocket always got to do is call this back it'll watch out for the seventh well I just come back two or three inches here I would come back much he's gonna look and see is that comfortable to get on the fire ball with and I believe it is [Music] now this is worth taking a second look at last thing in the world we want to do is end up for the tough shot to get on the five yeah I just float down to the end rail yeah not even a big deal if he gets trade-in on five here they took no chance of that occurring evident language position like if he had to get that ball so clean oh yeah of course you know what the angle everything he's gonna get it out but still I could have made it easier point right a lot easier he's in pretty good shape here one natural rail seven ball I hear get an angle inside the 808 side you go the other way just as a good low laughing we should hit the rail before the left-hand side pocket let the left English slide him down towards an eyeball see it I think that's risky playing it the way he played cuz he can straighten in on a he goes short pocket short side and right there and if he pulls it back over like you were talking about with the two rail angle then it's automatic as a macro [Applause] we were just sitting right there but I still what maybe would have played the to grill I know all right five to four girls trick them let's see if Ephraim you know I don't like his last two or three break it down buddy do you know they pitted allowed to be off when I'm breaking this off he's moved to cue ball well back behind hit spring you don't want her taking the right you don't want the roll checking it yabba-dabba-doo here we go hit him hard that's better hitting a little harder but that side over there is no worth quarter break ball for them anyway no he had not made a ball or tried at one time he's seen it right away well I don't like giving it more than once for quite for it absolutely you're right about that this is kind of important I like to come down far enough where I don't have any trouble he was looking to see I think he can draw this two rails missed the nine and come underneath the six she wants to use low left and come to rails a short two rails out of this lower right hand corner okay we why that was that was a risk you buddy watching yes a lot risky no I'm surprised to what he did there we're sounded these fall under baby yeah now here probably get out here buddy I don't play a pinpoint position heck of a time to be looking at the six to seven girl wouldn't it yeah I don't know if we've got a full pocket huh it must go well he sure got a good angle on this five I mean he could do other things if he had to I go below the eight here I don't try to pulled it above the eight imagine punch it out one right right I don't know if you've got that much time I could do that if you can do that that's what you do yeah when I vacuum perfect fine barn predictably trying to go ahead james24 [Applause] she that's huge if Ephraim breaks from the good side of the table and makes the ball runs out is five each's to the in trailing by a couple games the agnostic yeah right are you going back to the earth oh look at this Earl 59:43 ray is 864 I can't believe he's going back to that sad state well I'm surprised also there must be a reason why are you doing that yeah the main reason is he forgot what happened last night because okay oh wait a minute though he jumped the table on the other side didn't he yeah when you use a bit of a cut break there is not worth quarter he's pretty fortunate Ephraim does not have a shot here now I'll show you what I like here if he can do it but I don't know if he can't if you can get around that I like loading it up with writing just knocking it out one rail I'm just trying to park the cue ball right there yeah I think he can do that I think you can do that and he hits it easy so the English takes it quickly right that's a good seat just feather this ball just bunnies bump it out now you can't go to rails even though that's an easy hit because the one ball figures they hit the five right no way to get it safe well he can't roll my up out but rather only if I rolled out I'd roll it an inch or so to my left our half answer letter I'll take it if it was questionable whether you can get enough in there well I don't like this too late it takes a perfect hit to miss the fireball plant thank you kicked it in and may have a shot he may have a cut shot [Applause] that's awful lucky there well you and I know he wasn't playing to make it he was awful lucky honey he was pretty fortunate at that other time when the one ball went in long ways I don't remember who won that game but a lot more ways to sell out than making it the length of the table a lot of things you can do here can park your mind a 5-week and then it cutting it to his right which is what it looks like he's going to do like this [Applause] well I'll show you the shot I like I don't know fur will do it I like kind of a mass a rail first kick I like mass Shane is slightly around like this and coming off to the side of it and the cue ball back down here nothing prefer the two wheel kick okay he's looking at now nothing I prefer hidden here in here with English okay well he's really got a loaded up with named mr. Lincoln it out off that's not the a oh yeah it's this draw shot perfect that's the way I like it oh that's a beautiful shot kinda nice at all.i over here to draw it in order to hit it full now he's got some options here buddy - he can come in here to the end rail and go two rails off the ball or one rail into it and at what speed he hits it and how thick he hits the two ball determine what direction if you welcome right nothing - trying to hit it full they tried to hit full yeah I like the full hit through and maybe sometimes the cue ball will go through the object all right here try - no he's gonna try to hit get the cue balls close to the seven six and the four as he can in the bank the two if he he's it one rail to the bank the two ever away from him he hit it pretty firm that's all right here here here pretty full I'm pretty hard no that's not real no rent yes it is it is but if it goes if he hits two rails now just all the cue ball travels out I traveled a lot slower than if he had smaller nail then yeah he hit the ball corny you ball wouldn't travel nearly that fast if he hadn't it's academic anyway yeah yeah you're right I don't mean much there does it no and of course it's a big game to and you know you got to give a girl credit he made really good keep shot you called what he was gonna do a beautiful job of predicting a terrific shot and he may have to go on the other side of the seven or up and down you know I see the shot here Grady that I've seen them yet the player strong shoot what do you do I'm reading for to learn okay I draw this ball to here and back oh yeah I throw professional guys at some time and I'm exhibition they don't realize you can do that yeah that's right below the side then back up back yeah that's a nice that's all yes it is he's playing at distance that's okay yeah this is fine yeah I would have preferred that particular shot right then how about that same way he did but I'm just saying a lot of times that shot comes up to where you guys used that way he can well pretty short order seven games before [Applause] well contrary to what we usually see buddy Earl is one of the safety battles here tonight oh you know I thought if I made a bad choice on the kick then because he tried to come in behind it I think or try to bump it down the Ray over so I would have hit it firm hit tried to hit full into it and knock it one way above tables right I love you good things happen on that try to get it away from there control the cue ball mainly keep the cue ball right you know what I mean in a certain area true that's I like breaking from right over there now from there here's the new a key step number nine 51 very very good restrict then 867 for Reyes well he was no scratch then he was headed right in the well he was dead is right into the well let's talk about this to ball which is difficult and she sits right here he can't follow this now if he draws it I think he plays to get right out here I think it might be makeable from there I don't know that he can do any better than that I don't see any way for him to get down here to play the two ball on the lower right hand corner do you know I think you just played the cue ball over about it just above the side pocket all the way over right right Wow when it was her only had nothing I didn't know he had that good of a player or that good a stroke Wow easy then stroke he's playing just just remarkably well well I hate to say it but this right here is soon destined to be a bit of pocket billiard history and Easy's I call you've got to be careful of it is getting on a 500 where he doesn't have to contact the 9 yeah this is fine I think he can follow and stay to the left of my well just come back up in the middle of the table there somewhere like this it's not and he checked to see where he'd like to be on the seventh well that's perfect that's the seven days left a little bit which makes the cue ball go over on the other side of the nine ball and float gently down at the entry and it's a game for for advantage or Ola for their looks like you've got some pennant way that Fleming used to have some of those things and I believe that that's a weight that green thing there yeah it was a wrap it just took off his key oh oh yeah it was a wrap he just rolled it off of there maybe we gonna put another wrap I don't I don't think it's because the green didn't match your shirt you may have the wrong cue right there I like that break where they make one or not I like that break better than any of them I've seen so far no the one goes Efrain has a shop yeah no problem with the to evolve except you gotta be careful that you don't want to have to hit the six when you make the two ball I don't know that he can avoid that I might consider here's the right hand if I see it right to go to rails around the nine match if the three passes tonight yeah I think he can go to girls around well if it does that he doesn't have to interfere with the six I think what he might do here he may have to be worried about getting behind the four he might have to hit it like that you know what I mean come around two rails gonna come back across it oh thank you get that part why would you do that well not a thought he could do the other shop yeah evidently he it was a shot where he's gonna run into it now there's a shot where he goes three rails I'll show you on the monitor if I see aright I might be wrong you make the three one was writing two three back here for that works for me that works for me hey can't the draw this ball you can't interfere with the seven and eight down there pretty easy huh that's fine his ex just is good the way he did it yeah I did it the same way only he played position for the corner right and push your drills place to play that right yeah you're right yeah I like that little giggle expression that he gets where's it going I don't know if he had to do that it might as well place it in the other pocket yeah well they can't get cutie they cannot afford to not get out from here [Applause] hiking standard that can this trope mean you know what that reminds me of I'll tell you just a second as our school is gonna go to eight games to five maybe he got straight annealing I don't think he's straight maybe I think he can follow it out of there at least get to around the area of the spot at the other end nice drawing I guess anyway blue Butera and I want to bet on like goofy Mia and he was a very faithful player and he won the match but he tripled ever-evolving blue told him I'll never bet on you again I can't stand it I want to hear a ball go i play the straight poop driver right here Gibbs uh actually won the tournament but Bala swears in the Lambo right it was a combination tournament straight pool and nine ball well during that tournament losses ply stroke will you play straight look my son you know play your angles nice and you look the rack over good to pick out now blaming the final thing come with pennies you remember what I said about all that other stuff I used to forget all that [Laughter] now he just refuses to change time he ain't gonna change sighs he runs out of money well he may do that he was lucky the one dribble then yeah now buddy this is a tough shot here I'll show you the way I see this when he makes his to wall in here he can't go forward much here there's all kind of stuff in the way if he draws the ball and comes over here some kind of way I might come over here and all the way back over here he can play to try to draw it between the sixth and eighth all right well I thought it was tough yeah he missed that he missed the shot but he had a shot to get position he had to go between the eight and six now does Earl have 1/2 or 1/3 of a pocket a half apartment yeah well if he does he's close to the 2 ball like his accuracy not that difficult well he was shaking they said well well I think the role played a combination if he doesn't have a respectable opening they're great thank you I give my students and stuff when I teach this and then I can't tell if that ball or not that's oh well I'll tell you how you can tell if it'll go do you use that ball just like this the cue ball you address it you address it to Mike it's the cue ball and see if you could shoot it in that pocket if you can shoot it in their pocket then they'll go right well well effort may face the same dilemma well you'd get more of a hole you got more of a pocket well if he had it back I think you'd like to pick the combination maybe you're right yeah he definitely no one do that then I was cold it's cold in here now they used to keep it cold for some reason that's a good angle well maybe it's not a good angle that maybe could have cut it more than I think yeah please okay here he's an interesting player and he's always fascinated me he gets a lot more few ball movement and you think he needs now you come up one rail towards a fireball here like that low left English this time I don't think you're dare to try to go around the five I mean around the six absolute now left handed left him pull it back out a little bit yeah there was that following he falleth even messed around here if that nine is huge stay here no yeah he toppling make the nine on this shot or hit behind you knock it over to the side rail I believe we could go inside the night with the defend hid inside English like this each other or he answered a lot more adventure on that out that what do you want in the other scores eight six it's a close match again he's struggling to what but he's getting out yeah and this is market look very players when they struggling get out that's true for any newcomers to a key stats averaging and statistics and percentages a thousand is perfect cool to shoot a thousand you can never scratch you have to run out every time you try to run out in other words you'll make no position errors you can't miss any kicks off your opponent can't make any balls after you play safe I mean what is enough to its perfect fool well are you right I guess he's just gonna stay over there live and die with it over there there's a nice shot of the West for a walk now that's different he went ahead and hit at that time residential him because he's gonna have to either play the four off of the 707 combination or the combination or he can do it was the five ball but I believe it's easier with the four ball you missed it too why when he go get a little out of it oh he's trade cues he's changed fuse he's playing he played this out was a break cue I've done that I've got a breakthrough that I like and that plays similar to my playing you I've done that quite a few times that's the first time he's been that he did called off the job well looks like he's not hit shot number three this rack with the break I don't know that it even matter if you remember when we used to call kid him because he had like a seven dollar cue yeah when he came over here and he played with that thing for like five years nobody got there it cost twelve twelve twelve dollars the one who's leaning against his Kenny's over there it's a Filipino cue cost twelve hours I mean while he's gotten out of line here this is tough he has to elevate the cue to keep from scratching if he plays it over there oh well he's gonna load it up with inside English and tried to go to the in Rio between the eight and nine like this we can't make anything here and nothing that goes and I'm tiny be struggling through everywhere he is there's no sign of your buddy step back into five and less the combination is easier than I think it is well I'd like to get it closed up if that seven is frozen girls got problems here if it's frozen and out a little bit which it looks like I don't even think you can make a ball here I say can we get a close-up of those two balls and see what oh that's beautiful look at that on the monitor what a nice crisp clear shot I don't believe we can make a bomb now if that's the case I might play the nine ball yeah with the cue ball and maybe the seven of double-kiss in or something maybe just maybe you could play the the nine with the five just stick and that's a possibility that would certainly be creative he's playing the nine he hit a pretty good day hey he hit it real good yes you did that's good shot right there never got a hand here sharp I'll be careful not buddy this isn't as tough as it gets no this shot what are you doing this shot he can't hit his right side of the five I don't think if I could I'd be playing safer I try to make it a year old are you trying to come in he got enough room try to cut it in all right if he can see the right side of it I'd sure be shooting at it if he can see if he can't he can still try to cut at the end over by the seven if it hitting at that bin he'll be all right if he could hit at that thing he's shooting at this pocket over here well I like it shooting at it in the pocket by the knife all ya gotta hit a real thin to shoot it in the other pocket yeah it looks different on the monitors than it was that's right there again cut I believe the seven frozen on the other lip of the pocket now that's very sensible with a bandeau right there well he had to shoot had to shoot now he can just blow writing let's just try to make this pump just like that beautifully done now you like drawing this back oh no he'll follow oh you never draws this but he get real first on it where you go around the 9 here he's okay yeah he did I'll turn he's struggling right now our lives a little bit - yeah are you go to the side really if we shift around enhancer shot oh well it's getting more interesting but he just going to go to the paid games or seven yeah they're they're not careful all the fake houses will be closed Benny shootin well I'd like to get an update on the Acme - poor baby shooting man under been out well that'd be a big upgrade from the 700 which he was stuck there shooting eight something Tuesday a high eight fifty six or eight seventy six or something I can just you know today 848 er I don't know I believe this you can close to Mantha no you're probably right not everyone 888 80 and saying that he's making balls on the break like that now different volume you're making rocks well you gotta hit it with a little velocity to get position on a two ball he drew his ball well buddy if I see this correctly he can make this ball come down to the end rail here and back up about it here that's what he wants to do it again if he can do that that's exactly what he wants to do I'll talk to three ball but he's gonna have a shot yeah he's okay he's alright where do you draw this down to the end rayon back up and you try to risk hitting five they can't roll this is that section here you get well boy he's been playing you'd draw it right in the back well I think it hits the high side of the five you can elevate the few slightly which is another one of the girls trick that Forte's that's what I thought it's the high side of the five nice shoutarou you can do whatever you want that regard to getting on the six from this angle I like playing it for the corner that's the left English I can go to the side that's just as good well there it goes there it goes nice shot nice shot I just pretty much shoot stopped if I see you go to rails gently across the table I thought he missed it nice where are they / cut it all right there's our current doors daddy this one you think you got things going your way only runs out booming he's gonna go back to this side other side again still using that long vid you alluded to earlier buddy yeah no I think the other side is definitely the best break inside well like you fire in the right guys he's gonna let that side of the table go he won't stay there and go down not making a longer break well you got a shoot here you got a back this cross on you sure you did see really any needs to use low light anything laughs is you know very very wet all that then you wouldn't then you wouldn't shoot that yeah yeah yeah well that's the way I like playing it to try to miss the two ball the only problem with this practice is seven ball I just wants to use from right Antoninus what's an angle on the floor does not want to be straight in that'll do nicely he wasn't get worried and get almost just real close to straight in them the hook on the five here because he wants to go forward just an inch or two so it would be a heaven angle to come down on the seventh right I believe I'd rather do it that way than to try to and to try to play at the corner yeah well he's really had to play he's gonna play six in the other side now and it's harder to get the right angle I would I would rather play for the three row angle here I just played if I haven't played the cue ball straight across close to the three the six so I want to shoot six in the side that come around three rails okay you see what I'm saying I think he's gonna play this for the part the six ball at me Leslie no I didn't well he that's the wrong angle on that boat well I don't know if he got there or not if he did get where he can cut it the right way he's gonna have to ship play this in the corner it's the wrong angle yeah well he's gonna have to play this in the corner and go three rails or with low writing these or play the confirmation I don't know what else we could do here draws ball two rails out of the corner of her yeah I feel is buzzes you you as you mentioned that's not a different he doesn't like it that bright he's gonna play for the combo well as getting on combo goes that's not bad but this is eminently miserable it's serious this time is it about 80% of the time oh these are hard shot especially in the heat of battle nice shot [Applause] well it's another great package - match championship nine ball at its highest level on the scores gonna be nine games to eight Earl strictly oh well well well my own pretty good shooting that it is I think the tournament probably got a bright future Barry Berman added 50,000 that's very notable and respectful first effort yeah you go get a second well buddy he made made a ball on the break for these now where do you roll out through here well I don't know where about no you're very careful oh he's rolling out to hook well I think you have to I think you have to me I think you rolled out the hammer but if he's hooked he gets you to him with me well if I was I play this like a one pocket shot if he tells me to shoot it I'll show you here I don't like this live ball can't get hard no easy here I put the one here and put the cue ball here and I don't think he's gonna be able to completely lock me up and at least I'm still alive to do battle maybe I'll let him go just like that oh yeah you gotta let him take it sure now you can go to rails and hit above the one that's why he's trying to do well I believe he got him I think I did I don't know he kind of shoot his jump shot here but this is the type of thing for which Efrain has become famous she finds ways to get safe when nobody else can very well maybe I think oh girl might have a shot here you may have a shot here come down through here with a whole lot of spin just missing the time you come across some clipping this fall bringing it back to here and bringing the cue ball back down table well that's not might work you know in a lot but I think he can twirl this around the right edge of the two ball and go rail first and actually play to make this like this good shot that's a good shot yeah it's a great shot now it's the to go I don't think so of course he's but he's got some ways to play safe if it doesn't I went okay well II got tough here she's gonna have to Bank this cross corner I don't think he wants to play safe here I mean he could play it cross-eyed would I like to cross the corner shop yeah I did too I don't dislike the cross the side I don't dislike the cross-eyed I played this cross corner off a cue ball all the way down yeah right right exactly come all the way down that's better than that shower made right there I leave out if he makes it but he had to have good position on the 6-2 it everybody had to play the combination somebody said something to him why I don't know somebody said something to look before or after this time after the show well you got some options here push it in he can bank it back by the time personally I'm not sure I wouldn't do that now this is a shot do you give yourself the extra chance to make the 902 go three rails and try to get on a combination I don't know just however you feel how it looks there I'm gonna do that no look at this and he got they got position that you're about as good as you can get whoo man look at the confidence the expression on their face and I want to make the ball first hit here not fail first I wouldn't jack up on this no I like a level cue on it too [Applause] there's no way in the world a drum is I don't think I might be wrong Oh or okay everyone world so far I'm just going to go to nine games apiece buddy and this is what we all love to see and be a part of [Applause] [Music] well you couldn't ask for any more than this the first master $20,000 first plate tied up nine apiece with through the finest nine ball players in the world and from my perspective being in the booth with the rifleman nothing could be any better he's starting to make balls on a break maybe he's gonna have to play the nine here I believe buddy it's hard not to get in greedy here you see with lay of the table very difficult to not want to play that nine ball I want to play it right Pyro's been behind the whole honeymoon I believe this and all he was some hand playing that Paul boy that Tim haul or whatever that right he was my hand two to one and being ten in a row well it's not going to bother him he's got a champion is hard coming too big it's an opportunity you'll probably take advantage of it but you're right the last two or three times different has broken the ball from that side he's done well yeah he's come with a ball he's come with a shot not this time all right Earl has a shot and it's a good one especially if the three passes the six up in the far right-hand corner the two ball if you can't see it on the screen is right here the three ball is here he's looking to see if it passes now if it doesn't it's a much tougher rack right he's looking I don't know looking at this like maybe it doesn't pass well I couldn't be more surprised well he wasn't thinking about the one when I here's a place where I like the mass a curl here I'll show you what I mean buddy especially with that from doing it the mass aid a little bit on the writing just go to the end real thick hit here knock this out of there to kill ball like down in that range yeah he's playing to wrote it solid he wasn't here to square okay well he he's gonna get lucky for he's gonna do there he got lucky what he done well he can go rail first and like this hitting before decide I'm planning about one of the players acting up and somebody up there watching that monitor up there it might be giving out was it me might be Alex well I like this you just go to make it looks like he's hitting a little on the thicker side though to me yeah and he might get lucky too but no he's not now this is a horse of a different color here if the three does not pass the six you've got to be careful he gets an angle on the three ball I mean on the two ball to get on it's close I left his clothes and and he's got a half a pocket or something he'd like to be close to it straight in we've all determined it that's probably the optimum angle for that sort of well now that's just like downtown there that's a beautiful shop now he could make the through wall in the corner and come across the top of the four ball if he has to inflate the three ball in the far left-hand corner we played position for the side I think you meant to go a little farther down a table don't you mmm he'd mistrusting the whole term of he's getting out well he's in business now because this goes a natural three rails towards the four ball you know that's play position for the corner just below center of all that language like this one two three now all he has to do is make the four ball on the rest of this practice not too difficult and this is perfectly folk gently up about where he is now maybe slightly more towards the six ball side now I like position for the right-hand side pocket don't you buddy yeah this is perfect I like going down to the end rail and up or a foot or two are you at an angle where you could just roll it it's also fine that's who's going to read 11-game denying Efrain right [Applause] 906 905 reyes with the 1000th double point that advantage and either had better games yes so I got unlucky Ephraim missed it they're all missed that one ball don't know what he was thinking about it about why are you trying to get I guess yeah that's probably what it was well don't look good it looks very bad for this trick non-campus yep now you like going down to the end rail I do here no back up for today a little right out of radical Wharton and right towards the three I don't really need to draw this I'm a bit kind of a just below center ball like this and even if you get straight in it's not terrible he can draw back towards the four ball knightly shaking his head scratching his head he can't follow no I absolutely cannot follow that's what he wanted to do but he hit it pretty clean yeah this is fine I'd take the little bit longer shop every turn for making this four ball every time so I just low-riding this over to the rail and out a few inches we just did on the river stuff ain't no bargain no bargain well he's gonna have to float forward if you're straight in and play the six in the far left hand come on he may go right into the seventh well if you got that kind of angle he's got a small problem doesn't me no no I can't tell but he's not taking much time I think he'd go straight ahead with this shot okay if he had to hit the seven he would he would have studied this more whoo well now he has to make the six all yes do it make the six year and racket over about mr. five and jump straight up well I can't say anything I've been doing that all my life oh man I'm a pole vaulter nice shot [Applause] now you'll follow down to the end rail and back up that's the way he likes to shoot these shots if I'm not mistaken my r2 is either one that's fine well buddy just like this is historic comtesse is drawing a little closer to a finish as soon as he makes a nine ball we're going to change the tape real quickly we'll be right back well buddy Earl has to hope against how did he even get to return to the table you're right about that he's not looking good no and you know he's played awfully well at that one inadvertently missed one ball and boy I don't know that he's even had a shot so soon no baby hands well he's got action to return to the table except that that's my he's not gonna like his return to the table I believe that efforts going to do this the cue ball if I get to the telestrator one this side of the seven probably right up in here and play a safety I don't we hadn't hit that pretty fool to do that or he can do it too thin way to but very good there that takes a lot of risk out of yeah he yeah that's right that was a better safety now that I looked at it but now Earl has his opportunity he's got to come with a great shot he can't shorten it up around the three and eight he's got to go other way and I like one rail here it's the most critical part of the match for all Strickland and a Miss here is the end of the match so one rails are most accurate or talking about somebody about the other he's got to hit this quit worrying about them up there hit this I try well if he doesn't hit this matches over probably well he'll play the two inside and float forward for the three-ball it's over it's all over it should be are we gonna do an interview if it is in fact over yes I do have to go but buddy could conduct the interview okay all right well buddy if an interview isn't necessary I'm gonna have to leave you to do it that's just someone different it's out there no positive getting out but I can't tell you how much fun it is to work with you I mean it's a great honor it's thrilling I always learned something he doesn't want to get straight in on the six but even that might not be the end of the world we could play the 7-9 combination but you doesn't want to play company that's perfect just float over soup to seven eight nine in and we've got to do first Masters champion in just a moment where is it going or is it going early found a way to make it interesting [Laughter] well he can go three rails here I think here's what I see just like a shot earlier in the match left English one two three that's one way I would elevate the cue and draw this yeah and I don't like rolling it I like what are you doing here I think he shoots out the way I described it like this no all right this he just went blank he just went blank well because I think this goes on the side and gets tripped up and the side though this there's not no hanger here oh there's over half of all of us that I keep that push it made you an interview we'll put that on hold I thank you and I wish everybody the keeper good day always a pleasure daddy my pleasure is all mine buddy	Online TV	UC8dRUSpsn2z9bAAAWTop6MQ	2019-12-19	Creative

u1N1uan1tKQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1N1uan1tKQ	Alex Jones: Bankster's Money Laundering of Gun/Drug War Operations	this whole fast and furious ATF shipping in thirty thousand guns into Mexico has now come to a head and the Attorney General has been accused by the head of the ATF the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives of lying to Congress when he said that he knew nothing about the ATF plan to ship guns into Mexico now it's now been ferreted out that even a year and a half ago holder gave speeches basically alluding to what he was doing and now it's even in The Associated Press and other major publications that the FBI and DEA were involved as well and yes it was a Justice Department operation who believes the ATF would ship thirty thousand guns to major cartels like Los Zetas if they were not given authorization and the Attorney General has been caught lying Eric Holder this is huge but I want to give you the full rest of the story and as usual we don't give you the rest of the story after the fact now you're ready to hear the information we covered six years ago five years ago four years ago three years ago and with total precision and the videos have been reposted on infowars com two years ago we laid out everything that would transpire with absolute complete and total precision not because we're smart but because we know how the crime syndicate that seized control of our government in 1913 operates we know every one of the plays in their play books just like if you got your favorite football team and you watch them every year and you know the coach you know what is in their playbook once you see the players go into motion and we're going to lay all of that out today and I put up a video that I shot on my iphone 4 up to our YouTube channel with 125 million views and it's the two parts of it have had more than 70,000 views that means they'll get about half million views that's good should get about 10 million views we wish but Obama caught staging terror attack part one and two and again shot that yesterday from my home couldn't even really sleep on Saturday being aware of all this coming to a head because you have to ask yourselves why were the guns shipped into Mexico and that's twofold we've written to tell the articles breaking it all down with the proof a to blame the Second Amendment and say the violence in Mexico was caused by that and to call fort assault-weapons bans the shutdown of gun shows only allowed to sell one gun at a time at gun shops total tracking and just like you have a no-fly list with no judge no jury don't know why on it the white house now has announced as a Friday they want a no x list for gun owners that they just magically put you on a list you could never even had a parking ticket Obama says you don't get a gun you don't get it you may remember two years ago White House chief of staff gave speeches to the violence policy center the victim disarmament center and others and we've played those clips many times now they're back calling it sensible restrictions everyone will agree on and then you actually get into the meat and potatoes of what they're about to start promoting so that's one of the things they did there a be I of course have interviewed LAPD police officers who were there in the 80s watching the government ship in the cocaine we have the 1997 Solicitor General CIA hearings in Congress where they admitted the CIA was shipping in tons of cocaine and cooking it into crack to destabilize the United States and packed the private prisons at the megabanks laundering the drug money owned also I've interviewed people like Pulitzer Prize winner of Dark Alliance Gary Webb he was about to come out with more information I talked to him about a month before he was shot twice in the back of the head the police in California ruled it was a suicide and he'd been telling folks that people been breaking into his house of course I've interviewed celica stila one of the area webs main sources who was the top DEA agent and central South America and Mexico for more than a decade an army sniper from Vietnam before her freshman Army sniper then he was what border patrol then he was DEA and he came on my show six years ago again five four three two right two two years ago when the 80s shut him up for a couple shotguns saying they were illegal and put him in jail because he was making the rounds dealing with the ATF and he was saying at the time that's why he's in prison he was saying at the time that he'd been approached this is as Calderon was about to be elected and he said call her on wood would steal the election as he did international groups that watch the elections and clearly he stole most the states in Mexico he said that that there would be a huge drug war in Mexico that Mexico is going to be collapsed because the CIA and Fort Benning Georgia now that's been that's now in mainstream news was funding Los Zetas is giving them automatic weapons grenade launchers you name it and that Los Zetas seeeeee the quote was going to defect from the US government the Mexican government was really working with the US and Mexican government once called around got in was the plan that's why as soon as he got elected all this started to wipe out the other three to four major cartels that would not launder all their money through us and international banks now by the way that's in Bloomberg and AP I'm going to go over all these headlines giving you the basics now I'm going to walk through all of it and so I watched all this unfold exactly as he said it would unfold Gary Webb was working on that they went to his house shotgun name twice in the back of the head I want you to know I'm risking my life even giving this information 500 billion a year in cocaine and heroin come into this country it's all laundered by the big six banks on record private Federal Reserve's been caught repeatedly with hundreds of billions in cash they're allowed to keep it all doesn't matter you're going but wait the cops go to big links to get the drugs drugs were legal till the 30s you could buy heroin cocaine opium anything you wanted a corner drugstore drug use was much lower even though coca-cola had cocaine in it they had it all right down at the corner drugstore and the prohibition attended which the big establishment made a league so they could make huge profits corrupt the police some cases 100 times what they were making before alcohol was legal illegal knocked out all their competition and all the insiders can bring an alcohol some of the greatest fortunes ever including the Kennedy fortunes were made out of that Kennedy's of course Joe Kennedy head of the Irish mafia on the East Coast Chicago delivered the election to him through the dailies other Irish but the issue this is all mainline history go pull it up they made alcohol illegal for a decade to take control the market there were hundreds of breweries then hundreds of whiskey makers then for decades after probation there were only a few now when that ended they had to make narcotics illegal to have something new the big major international importers make it illegal they control the major cities the major distributors now that massively Rises the price of all of their commodities heroin cocaine the list goes on and on they bring it in they corrupt the police further they control the criminal networks they control the muscle they shut down all of their competition they take the low-level users and give them long sentences in privately owned banks of privately-owned prisons owned by go look at who owns the big main chains of mega prisons we have more prisons anywhere else in the world more drug use any order anywhere else in the world we're number one the people then who get caught using the drugs that were shipped in at the top of the chain who go rob stereos and the rest of it that goes right back to the banks they then get put in a bank owned private prison working as slave labor for 25 cents an hour is placing everybody else's jobs I mean you think the illegals drive down wages and so the mr. masters at making money on both ends now i'm gonna go over the total proof of this when we come back on the other side foreign banks run America and they run the drugs they run everything including the white slaves in rockwall texas my last few years of high school were here and uh Austin we had to move down here because the police through a lawyer called and told my dad that if we didn't move out of town they were gonna arrest me and hang me in the jail cell because I didn't use drugs I did drink some not a lot but you know at parties and chew tobacco and things like that because I was more of a jock but I saw the police at parties over the years I saw police deliver drugs and I talked about it when they would be at the school with their drug dogs I'd say hey you're a drug dealer what are you doing here searching people and they would take me in the office and slam my head in the end of the desk and tell me that they were gonna send me to prison where I'd be raped and given aids I mean all this happened so I've always known this and then later the sheriff or rockwool was at jack or John McWhorter you can look it up went to even Rolling Stone wrote about this they didn't really believe me at first and then they went looked it up and was at new york magazine i forget which one yeah they went looked it up and did indeed find all that happened so now I know why they were threatening to to kill me that but that wasn't the Sheriff's Department that was a police department doing that and so see I've lived I've seen things early on and I guess the other young people thought it was normal to have the cops deal in the drugs and then also putting people in jail for using them see I didn't think that was normal i had common sense or logic and I didn't like it I didn't like driving out of the school parking lot the cops searched my car and looking at him going you care about my six-pack of beer actually did they did this once yeah I got a six-pack of beer in here I hadn't had in a week it's underneath the seat you're going to search and take me to jail for that you drug dealer you see I live in the real world ladies and gentlemen not in some fantasy land and it's going to be reality not fantasy that's going to save this Republic now on record if you go research the big mega prison companies they are wholly owned subsidiaries of the big mega banks that are on record shipping in narcotics let me just give you some proof of that since I raised it oh here's one US government openly admits arming Mexican drug gangs with 30,000 firearms los zetas is kingpin we bought guns directly from US government here's another one the holder ly DOJ news release shows Obama administration approved ATF Mexico weapons smuggling that were so dumb they put it out as a press release a year to have a go lying to Congress congressman says unlikely holder did not know about Operation Fast and Furious yeah now it's come out the Associated Press that FBI and DEA were involved in the quote Justice Department operation continuing at least 40 killed in Mexico 24-hour period Houston Chronicle oh here it is Bloomberg bank's financing Mexico gangs admitted in Wells Fargo deal and it's admitted that in a two-year period wells fargo and its owner Wilko V and its owner Wells Fargo laundered 376 billion dollars and leased and ran the aircraft well we already knew that Oh Reuters back in 2007 and you can pull up the headline CIA tortured yet Rex with four tons of cocaine it was pure cocaine coming directly from the source national securities a great way to operate and see when some other group the Colombians don't pay their cut i remember in 1999 richard Grasso the head of the new york stock exchange of the time in reuters again Reuters went and met with the head of the FARC guerillas in colombia and quote encouraged him to invest his money they said a little-known loophole allows this oh yeah just like the big banks right the loopholes where they pay zero tax google pays to point for a general electric zero they ride all the laws they tax you then pay the money themselves continuing and they told the head of the FARC you invest with us or we're gonna invade he said no the US military invaded go look it up wouldn't call the war called drug interdiction and they have GPS airplanes spraying the coca fields that aren't owned and run by their drug dealers and then of course they bombed with some Hellfire missiles and killed the head of the FARC and they said we taught you boy you invest with us or you die and the American people are so gullible and so naive that it's just all admitted out in the open because even if the children that's how we're seeing is cattle like children were to read that we don't know what we're reading we don't understand it hahaha it's so funny now continuing here Eric Holder's should go directly to prison he should be indicted for lying under oath to Congress it's a felony the head of the ATF got caught lying when the emails came out they were running the whole operation he was going to get burned so he's saying look I was under the orders of Eric Holder now the FBI its admitted as involved DEA of course they are my DEA source told us this six years ago they sent in law set is on record they saw thousands of Los Zetas Mexican commandos were trained at Fort Benning Georgia and then in mass the week Calderon was elected we told you about the six months of for the the week after he was elected they defected mass and start their own cartel on the Texas border with the US government arming him now confirmed we told you this six years ago close who was coming six years ago happened five years ago the videos are all posted on infowars com and on the off show channel YouTube we've reposted those will never been removed you can you see the timestamp date and there they are interviewing Selleck still Owen in studio and others just told you everything that was happening so the Pentagon trains these brigades of Mexican troops they defect and now the Mexican government's gotten second thoughts and is starting to arrest some of them because it turns out the people that run our government I don't to say US government the criminal banks that run our country through the military industrial complex third heaven losses Etta's kill even mexican officials that were supposedly part of the deal so there's a double-cross their bankers always double cross so it's now in the news in major mexican new papers and in u.s. papers and we've got it all boiled down Larry Pratt gun owners of america sent us all their intel on friday we put it in the article losses at this kingpin we bought guns directly from US government and i have the gun owners of america analysis that they sent to us to publish is all right there you want to go read a six page report with everything two-tailed Reuters AP all hidden in plain view go read it go read it go read it go read it it's right there for everybody now i want to go over more of this but we're going to break here how long do we go to break a minute or two minute and a half let's go ahead first and play an ABC news clip let's play AB ABC news clip from a year and a half ago where they spin the fact that our troops are helping grow the opium in afghanistan here it is computers are hiccuping here it is it so here's the question why are american troops now helping afghan farmers grow that opium Nick Schifrin reports from Afghanistan on a controversial new policy policy in Western Kandahar poppy farmer scored he'll harvest their crop and the Americans do nothing to stop they grow up my US soldiers grief farmers can you show me which public villagers they commiserate with farmers having a bad harvest Telamon verse our first field here and lays bare harvest issue and in one case they even paid a farmer a thousand dollars after us and afghan special forces burned his crop if you can come down to the base on my next visit i will make a payment all right stay there this country first day that we're gonna come back this is all a whitewash I'm gonna break down the facts for you in one moment we're in Afghanistan for the 500 bill in Shmack coming to your daughter's veins because you're using it they'll put her in a private banker on prism got into the meat and potatoes news yes but if you studied history you know that the Roosevelt family the Forbes family the Rockefeller family Rockefeller started out the the dad of the supposed big founder john d rockefeller was a snake oil salesmen who sold laudanum in the backs of buggies you know the guys that get up and say this'll cure all your ills grow your hair back fix the broken leg he was the first guy to launch fleets of those under a company name so the issue is the drug dealers just made the stuffy legal in the 30s to them jack up prices and you I mean it goes back 300 years ago to the British couldn't get into China and so the Chinese wouldn't allow them to sell Indian opium into the country they only allowed the British to come into one port it took him over a hundred years to corrupt the police and take over most the major cities by bringing in the illegal drugs and they learned that by the government keeping an illegal that allowed them to make even bigger profits and take over the criminal networks and they had two wars in the 1900s or 1800s 1840s 1860s called the Opium Wars or the Boxer Rebellion this is mainline mainline history and the very same interest the british east india company that had a near world monopoly on it the French had a little bit of their own operation but nothing compared to it that's why the French were control of Vietnam that's where they got their opium the British got there is out of Afghanistan Pakistan and India that's why the British were the last major colonial power before the Russians to be thrown out of Afghanistan and Pakistan and they would ship it in to China and so now they've just made italy illegal here because they learned how much bigger their profits were when something was illegal the chinese did them a favor by making an illegal that was how they got in there made huge profits for decade after decade and slowly took over town by town as they got people addicted now continuing here remember you got 500 billion a year in opium coming out of Afghanistan alone total drugs coming into the u.s. heroin cocaine and marijuana 500 billion the Justice Department estimates 500 billion dollar street value that's how you can have wachovia and Wells Fargo on record in a two year period 376 billion dollars running the aircraft everything what happen when they finally got caught because whistleblowers kept doing it coming forward a 100 million dollar fine that's 0.3% and I've likened it to robbing a bank and you come out with a million bucks and the cops say give me three thousand dollars and you can go free I mean this this isn't a slap on the wrist this this is this is nothing and the other big banks have all been caught over the years stop being naive stop being stupid d criminalize all of it now take the profit out of it now but but side issue the point here is the Attorney General has been caught lying and it turns out they're so dumb they even put a press release out admitting they knew about this program a year and a half ago that's now in the news well I had remembered this I had told listeners last week other news agencies I said go to the research I remember covering it a year and a half ago when the Attorney General came to Texas New Mexico Arizona California and Nevada and gave speeches calling to shut down gun show shut down gun shops ban semi-autos because of the crime wave in Mexico and blaming it on the Second Amendment when they have a total gun ban in Mexico when you have that the people can't defend themselves only the criminals can operate now these losses Etta's people when they get caught another got caught in Chicago a few months ago Chicago Tribune another top law status guy and he came out with documents in federal court saying I work for the u.s. government released me it isn't the US government it's it's the criminals working inside the national security state and now they're coming after your guns they're shifting the drug war to the gun war against our Second Amendment so we can live like the poor slaves in Mexico who don't have a right to defend themselves and only the criminals have the guns there's been over 30,000 dead the last two and a half years in Mexico that's more than died each year in Vietnam over a decade in Vietnam we lost 58 thousand in just a couple years 30 plus thousand and growing and now it came out this week in the news what in the Phoenix paper and others that cops have been killed with these thirty thousand guns the cops are stopping cars with these guns in them we have the criminal drug dealers driving them of course oh I forgot to print this off the guys can you search it it was in a bunch of New Mexico papers but didn't make it nationally US Attorney's to drop prosecution of officials running guns mayors of major cities in New Mexico what was one of them Columbus police chief's running guns and they've declared national security and the US Attorney's in west texas and new mexico it's a whole bunch of towns involved are having to drop the prosecution they cannot prosecute them because they went ahead and said do you understand i run an operation for the US government I mean these people get away with blood folks don't believe me just look all this stuff up look it up for yourself somebody's gotta call shenanigans on this somebody because here's the deal they're getting more and more bold they're getting more and more crazy okay let's finish those video clips now first ABC whitewash is that oh since they damaged their crop they paid for it then they cut it into the fact that they're actually helping them grow it again they're just going public with something that's always happened but so many trips for coming home well some tried to the NFL star wrote letters home about the opium when it wasn't known we knew and of course he got killed it's now come out executed but let's go ahead and play this clip from ABC News here this on here the Taliban lend the farmers the money they are indebted to the Taliban they have to grow the opium now the Marines in their success in a sense of victim of their success because now the population is you know if they have these opium fields and we are tolerating it we are tolerating the cultivation of the opium because we know that if we were to destroy it now the population would turn against the Marines and it would be a real security risk let me introduce Lieutenant Colonel Brian Christmas is the commanding officer of the British pond really a wonderful group of Marines here I know that you care deeply about this this contradiction the fact that here you have one of the best fighting forces in the world ever mounted and in the sense you're watching is this opium is being grown I know it it grinds at your gut how do you deal with it what are you doing about well frankly this is part of their culture so while am I grind to my gut it's what they do we provide them security we're providing them resources and we're providing them alternatives the alternatives are different crops to grow they're getting the seed in the fertilizer let's stop right there taken I got a bunch of these clips that's Fox News Geraldo and we're gonna go back to the ABC here in a moment we're done with Fox now you can watch the full clip on YouTube you just type in US soldiers grow opium heroin poppy in Afghanistan and it'll pull up for you also have it up on the alex jones channel on youtube link there now now this one is US military helps terrorists grow heroin us funding taliban now let's stop right there before i go any further the British invaded Afghanistan hundreds of years ago to control this stuff because the Russians ours and others were getting a hold of it and breaking their global monopoly people wonder how the British this little bitty island could take over a lot of it was they were selling opium worldwide and had addicts working for him and ready to whatever they were told but but here's the idea they provide security they go on they provide fertilizer they help them ship it out and quote then interdict it once it gets here ladies and gentlemen CIA aircraft and others are constantly crashing there's been esquire articles a decade ago we're cops and Miami bust a Plane full of heroin planes full of cocaine in houston state police busted an 18-wheeler full of cocaine years ago was in The Associated Press on the Texas border national security was declared the cocaine was a let go I know Texas State Police listing remember that this is on going only the low-level dealers get busted or Cowboys that haven't paid their cut I'm going to come back and I'm going to finish this other ABC news clip but see this is how dumb they think you are the troops are all standing around guarding the opium poppies so they get upset and the spin as well if we don't do this the Taliban and al-qaeda will get it well here's the deal opium production went from ten percent of world's supply out of Afghanistan in 2001 to 90 plus percent admitted Congress is at hearings that in Vietnam massive tonnage of heroin was shipped into the United States it's on record same thing in the 1980s with cocaine with Iran Contra that's admitted in Congress 1997 hearings and it's admitted what's happening in Mexico this is a war over who controls the drugs you know I was in while I consulted on a film that aired on Showtime called American drug war and we interviewed drug dealers for it mid-level you know drug dealers in LA who said absolutely not i don't want drugs legalized use your head do you think the Mafia wanted prohibition of alcohol to end use your head folks this is something somebody with an IQ of like 60 should be able to figure out by the way or you're mentally if you have a IQ of 70 I mean I'm serious this is something that that that people who have serious cognitive problems should be able to understand but of the smartest people out there having trouble because of cognitive dissonance you don't want to admit it really ap Bloomberg others reported a year ago that there were secret deals signed 11 years ago by the biggest insurance companies in the US in meetings with the Veterans Affairs Office to steal all the death benefits of World War two veterans through modern veterans when you down a car wreck or cancer and combat you've been putting money out of your check into that life insurance they just take it this is a guess that's patreon to the right this is a criminal enterprise that's taken over and they're not going to stop they're coming in with carbon taxes they're shutting down the coal-fired plants that aren't owned by insiders like General Electric on record has been given waivers McDonald's is given waivers not having to buy insurance but their competitor Burger King does again this is just an example of mafia government that we live under and we must stop being naive I'm risking my life my name everything to just take a bunch of mainstream news and put it in your face I mean can you believe they've had all these newscast I've even got a NATO press release video press release if you just type NATO growing poppies in Afghanistan you'll get it they say yes we help grow it we help them ship it out this is how we win hearts and minds bull the real Taliban not the fake lcia two Taliban had taken Afghanistan from the biggest open producer in the world by 2001 to one of the lowest producers in the world because the real quote religious Taliban not the old CIA Taliban from the 80s and that was a rogue group was on record destroying it all on record destroying it all they had to be liberated now depending on what Justice Department or NATO number or what's the European group Interpol number between 91 and ninety-three percent of all heroin produced in the world is produced in Afghanistan from less than ten percent ride it around depending on what statistic around ten percent or less than a decade ago to number one at 90 plus percent today and the troops guard it the troops guard it the troops guarded and provide fertilizer everything just like they trained Los Zetas at Fort Benning Georgia School of America's openly we had Intel they were going to shift and defect Shelly was invited as a former sniper former DEA that's in the news today DEA was down there training them as well as FBI not just ate f you see when the ATF director was about to go to prison for this he went ahead and Lou the whole whistle and now it's confirmed FBI DEA ATF all under eric holder's orders all confirmed dota infowars.com present punto com i got links to all the mainstream news admitting it but it's all buried in the headline it's all buried down in the article think about this this is a stage terror attack 30,000 guns in the bedlam and the 30,000 dad down there this is contributed to the cops confirmed Border Patrol and a Phoenix cop that have been killed with guns trace back that they were then going to use and now we learn they didn't just let him out of the gun shops in order the shops to do it they help get them across the border using police chief's to do it with Los Zetas strained in America all confirmed it's so incredible let's finish up with this ABC clip where they try to whitewash the whole thing here it is and in one case they even paid a farmer a thousand dollars after us and afghan special forces burned his crop if you can come down to the base on my next visit i will make a payment this is controversial the opium trade is the Taliban's main source of funding around here this puppy isn't only a plant it's the very basis of the economy here papi grows everywhere in this area and most of the farmers base their entire income for the entire season on this harvest and that's why soldiers ignore and encourage the farmers if the u.s. burned their crop farmers would blame the US for their poverty and turned toward the Taliban each Adele was dumber I'm not going to lie to you this farmer says if I poppy were destroyed I would be very angry if secure them having a good harvest now they're going to get paid for all their hard work and then we can do with trapping afterwards oh yeah and that is the new US policy after farmers get paid try to capture drug traffickers these troops have confiscated 10,000 pounds of opium before the profit reached the Taliban let's stop right there the u.s. hopes to okay folks so this is how they spin it now the troops aren't the main ones on the c-130 shipping it out that's the contractors and contractor aircraft have crashed in Europe they've crashed the Middle East and Mexico and the u.s. full of heroin and cocaine and I read you one of the Reuters headlines on that earlier you need to grow up and understand this you need to understand the big banks are allowed to launder the money and even pay for the aircraft and lease them and run them in their names on record I read to you Bloomberg headline in the hundreds of billions 376 bill stop being naive and and if you're a young person never use the government's products it came out five years ago in the new freedom initiative but the federal government wants to try to drug half of school children with prozac or Ritalin type drugs which molecules are even more dangerous than the illegal molecules don't ever take their red one of their prozac don't ever take cocaine don't ever take heroin don't ever take any of it is the direct tax to the mega banks that are openly imploding our society now I want to shift gears now ladies and gentlemen and don't hold your breath for Eric Holder to get in trouble don't hold your breath because this is official banker policy that runs this country this is the private banking cartel Mafia's system don't hold your breath for drugs ever be decriminalized because they don't want their prices to go down we have the biggest prison population the drug war started in the 80s we have tripled the heroin double the cocaine according to the judge department's own numbers we had then it's working well the drug war is a big success we got more people in prison we've got the prisons as colleges for crime we've got a militarized police busting down doors when in no knock warrants looking for draw hugs

bU9N3twlNic	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU9N3twlNic	Rand Paul's 'best theory' on how COVID started	your best theory is is that the Chinese created a virus covid in order to try to create a vaccine to oppose it to try to see if they could create a vaccine that would work for all Corona viruses the person who was uh working on these vaccines we know his name a general zo yusen and he's developing this vaccine sometime in 2019 but he has to have somebody develop a mutant Corona virus that actually infects humans well we think that's what Co was was developed in the lab to create the vaccine we also know that zo got a vaccine and he has it created by February of 2020 and most people think there's no way you could have gotten it that quickly unless he'd been working on it for some time we also know that this General dies mysteriously two months later so there's a lot to be said here that what was going on is a creation of a virus creating a gain of function Corona virus that would infect humans easily and then uh creating a vaccine from that and what happened is that it accidentally got out of the lab we also actually know the names of the three scientists who got sick in November of 2019 there we actually know the name some people say these are the patient zero and they got sick in N 2019 November and yet the Chinese didn't admit to anything going on till January and even in January second week of January the Chinese are still saying oh nothing to see here we don't think it's transmittable between humans meanwhile it's been cooking and growing for three months and they knew that wasn't true how should science funding in this country change given the facts we've learned through this discovery you know this debate's been going on a long time some scientist uh engineered Aven flu and made it transmittable through the air among mammals and people were very concerned because Aven flu is very deadly in humans but fortunately doesn't infect humans very easily so they had a big debate and they they shut down gain of function research between 2014 and 2016 the only problem was Anthony fouy kept giving exemptions to all the people that were doing this research and then in 2017 the pause uh on gain of function funding expires and they set up a new committee a pandemic pathogen committee that's supposed to review things for safety well all those things sound good but then none of the Wuhan research ever went before the committee in fact the committee the chair of the committee told me they only looked at three projects out of probably possibly hundreds of these gain of function um grants that they were looking at so what you end up having to have is I think you probably need a committee of scientists uh as well as people in the National Security theater who are aware of what kind of weapons can be made from these viruses you need them looking at it and trying to decide whether the taxpayers should fund this I think rather than a blanket ban of just saying no gain of function the problem is if you say no gain of function Anthony fouchy already says all of these experiments which were obviously gain of function were not so he just defined finds himself out of the rules and I think they'll continue to do that but I think you need a committee and the other thing about the committee is it has to be independent they have to be able to review Any Grant throughout government and they also can't be the same people getting the money so for example this Christian Anderson who does Fouch bidding to write a paper saying nothing to see here he got a $9 million Grant the next month so you can't have the people involved with determining whether something's safe also be getting grants from the people that are uh they're judging the safety of you can't that that's too incestuous to be a real oversight condition but we think it can be done Our Hope still is that we could get a bipartisan bill out of this we continue to try to work with Democrats every day to get them interested in the issue the hardest part is just the lack of curiosity the Democrats haven't really cared much about this a million Americans died and Democrats seem to be Blas about doing anything about it you also suggest in the book some sorts of controls over the the actual materials that are used in labs to manipulate viruses or bacterias or you know other uh life forms and you know we're we're in the synthetic biology age now and in some sense like the the the gatekeeping is gone and it I I just wonder like um how do you think about the tradeoffs there in terms of not stifling scientific progress while at the same time making sure we don't have Rog groups creating super viruses that cause a global pandemic you know most research goes through universities and through uh Grant agencies giving to the universities and so I think that can be policed through a some sort of Safety Committee application of judging what is safe and what is not safe but we live in an era you're right an era era of synthetic biology you can order on the internet the RNA uh to create the polio virus you can literally get on the internet right now and order the the bits of it if you know how to put it together you can create the polio virus from nothing it's almost as if you're creating life now a virus may not really be life because it has to live in a living cell but essentially you're creating something that you can put into and basically bring alive from nothing so I think there should be some rules on ordering this you know we don't let you buy centrifuges online we don't let you enrich uranium in your basement um this is I think equivalent to to nuclear weapons and how many people can die from this and so even being a Libertarian and not believing in many government rules this is one of the exceptions that I think government could participate in the other thing is is since government funds so much of this even as a Libertarian there's no real restriction on how much you want to regulate government or regulate the expenditure of government funds so I think there needs to be a great deal more done to this and probably 95 to 99% of it will be government funds that need to be uh regulated more strictly hey thanks for watching that clip from my conversation with Rand Paul you can watch another clip right here or the full conversation

IX0FF6g8QJs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX0FF6g8QJs	Welcome to linux.conf.au 2010!	about a couple hundred years ago a bunch of people had been thrown out of england washed up on a picturesque harbor in the middle of new zealand and decided to build a town called wellington it was the perfect place to live as it was surrounded by hills that none of them could be bothered walking over and now wellington is the second biggest urban area in the country everything in wellington is a little kooky and wellingtonians have a tendency to tempt fake for fun they made landing at the airport an extreme sport and decided the best way to cope with the major fault line running through the area was to put cute little houses all over the steep hills like happy dominoes and because of the high risk of death by earthquake the rest of the country thought wellington would also be a good place to put the government so in 1980 an architect called basil spence built them a building called the beehive because it looks like a beehive which is where all our politicians get drunk just down the road from the beehive is another landmark building called te papa and it's the national museum of new zealand te papa is famous for both costing a lot of money and looking like it didn't it's filled with the most wonderful and brilliant art and often has tributes to all new zealanders that got shot by people from other countries paradoxically lots of those people from other countries now live in wellington and everyone gets on like a house on fire which makes you wonder what the fuss was all about in the first place but it's the art scene that really sets wellington apart from the rest of the country there's a bohemian style cafe or bar in every corner literally buzzing with bohemians buzzing about bohemia and some of new zealand's most famous exports have been exported from within the 10 mile radius around the wellington cbd 42 below vodka came from wellington but the government wouldn't give them any money to make vodka so they left russell crowe and anna pacquiaon came from wellington but the government wouldn't give them any money to be actors so they left flight of the concords came from wellington no money left and of course catherine mansfield who probably didn't even ask the government for money says she was quite smart and knew they probably wouldn't say no anyway in fact when i think about it wellington is pretty evenly divided up between people doing really interesting things and government officials telling them not to do them so the shopping here is quite good as the interesting people need interesting things to buy and the public servants need sensible shoes maybe this is one of the reasons why everyone calls wellington the melbourne of new zealand apart from the wellingtonians who call it wally and refer to melbourne as being the wellington of australia but shopping aside it's actually quite a pretty place you can take the cable car to calvin and then look out over god's creation or through the hillsides and look out at god's creation or drive out to the beaches and look out at god's creation or just wander around oriental bay and maybe jump off a fountain which is actually illegal but people do it anyways the police aren't that fond of swimming in the hub is really cold all in all it's a lovely little city and you should probably pop over for a visit wellington or as the wellington city council pr department call it absolutely positively wellington no one knows what that actually means but it sounds neat so just like to thank everyone for uh coming to the conference and for being here so early and apologize for being late but it is lca welcome to rca 2010 in wellington um we've in wellington we take things to the extreme and as you'll notice andrew and suzanne aren't here unfortunately um they've come down with a tummy bug and i'm just sort of stepping in the last minute so um we wish them well if they're uh looking at the stream at home everyone wave uh we're hopefully live streaming the entire event um with a few hitches hopefully uh not but we'll we'll wait and see so hopefully um this all started um probably about a year and a half ago when andrew and suzanne had been to previous lcas and loved it so much that they actually want to organize their own one and put a huge amount of work into the bid document and fortunately enough uh our bid was accepted and so little did we realize that the actual work was only yet to begin and over the last year we've sort of been slaving away at lca to bring you uh this week um and really you know a lot of this conference uh couldn't be possible without andrew's suzanne they've really put their entire lives on hold they've had a baby they've shifted their uh house and uh it's been it's been quite an ideal so if you see them around later in the week please go up to them and say thank you very much because without those guys they probably wouldn't have a conference so about the extremes well we've actually taken so far to the extreme we printed uh mint tins as part of the delegate swag but as probably most people have noticed by now they're actually not in the bags but we have a difference links and that's the uh celebration of the next ubuntu release lucid links i i would not use uh this as uh air breath thingy so good morning so a couple of thank yous um obviously uh andrew's had a lot of sort of um time off from his day job at catalyst i.t really like to thank them a huge amount for letting them have the time to organize the conference a lot of the other organizer volunteers also work at catalyst so the callous founders thank you very much for sparing your employees time it's very very much appreciated um i've already talked about andrews and suzanne's family they've you know been picking up the pieces over the last year and uh thank you very much and also the the cabal and for anyone who doesn't know what the capital cabal is basically we're the the core organizers that's what he called our team um so we'd really like to thank them and because well you know it's my show i'll thank me first thank you thank you i i was organizing the media and the speakers this year um we had a really great uh volunteer for the uh papers committee i'd like to thank each and individual paper committee for putting some time to review um i guess what would have been over 500 different abstract proposals lca is definitely getting bigger and bigger each year and unfortunately we've got a cram sort of 80 talks into the main conference and as many as we can into the mini conf so apologies for those who didn't get accepted this year please try again next year um it's not because we don't love you it's just because we've got a huge amount of abstracts to go through is anyone from the paper committee people want to stand up and have a wave and give them applause except rusty and as it turns out one of the paper committees has a very special day today rusty russell it's his birthday so let's let's sing uh rusty happy birthday he's gonna stand up as best he can because he's actually on crutches but you can probably manage it happy birthday to you happy birthday dear rusty happy birthday to hmm okay andrew your laptop's gone funny if you won hello can anyone help has it crashed nope sorry about this hmm it's a laptop i don't know unfortunately andrew's giving a media interview at the moment so that's why he's not on stage keith packard is in the room isn't he no um hang on a minute restart uh yeah and it's not my laptop either down there somewhere it's like another screen ken yeah whatever it was working earlier so let's take stickers yes okay we'll just swap do we need to relocate even mac won't fix it i

conference so if you see all the the swag stuff we've got a really nice looking penguin called blue that we're using for the campus so thanks to her francois has been slaving away at the conference software zookeeper and has had very long nights making sure things work and making sure the payment gateway was working and and basically doing a lot of code there so really thanks to him rob cooper is our av man who's been helping live stream this week with uh richard naylor uh thanks to him uh brenda wallace was involved until she got pregnant and uh had a baby but uh she's been helping along the way with the various uh funding programs so we've got the google diversity program internet nz oceana program and internet and z kiwi fellowship and that's brought about 20 people to the conference who wouldn't have previously made it so thanks to those guys for a supporting the funding programs and for people applying as well thank you to my lovely wife somewhere in the audience who also um got pregnant during the event so carrying on the tradition of lca 2010 um unfortunately you can't see the slides but it uh shows a photo of how to deliver in a taxicab which we might be using this week because would you in two weeks time um andrew mcmillan has been tirelessly looking after the sponsors this year and doing a great job we've had really really great support from all the corporate sponsors and various partnerships i'll go through them later on but uh thank you very much for doing that andrew that's been really really great and finally um andrew and suzanne who've really done an awesome job so the emperor's penguin sponsors for this year have been internet in new zealand and google and hp and ibm so give a big hand for those people really really really appreciate their support previously we've only had two emperor penguins um in in past lcas so we thought hmm why not try four so we have done that and really we appreciate the the financial assistance because again without their support we probably wouldn't have this conference it's been a difficult year generally in terms of getting sponsorships from people and those guys stepped up to the plate pretty early on and uh thanks very much to them in royal penguin we've got intel and catalyst again thanks for the support ho hoy yellow eyed penguins sponsors red hat canonical aggressive and anchor core little blue sponsors technology wise dream host three months i want my name ingress silver stripe squiz amber dms and remo hosting and we've also got like a whole bunch of supporting partners who have really added the sort of final finishing touches of the conference and and really really thanks to them dps payment express city link a big round of applause to them they're actually providing our entire bandwidth and all the sort of cafe net tokens that you get in the conference bags are all part of of their sponsorship for the event so that's massive thank you very very very much we've had media partners like slashdot and linux magazine um really thanks to them a huge heap for for advertising the conference and we've had a couple of sort of ads and various websites around the place and hopefully you know with 700 people registered for the conference it's really made a big difference to people attending um in the social events later on during the week you'll see two partners uh feature pretty well uh fiasco wines and epic there are alcohol sponsors uh epic beer is a brewery up in auckland uh i really encourage you to try some of the new zealand craft beers because i do and love them and fiasco wines is great for the penguin dinner as well so thanks to them also thanks to govis as well and nice gear and scoop as also media partners as well so um just sort of going back a little bit in terms of the history um obviously lca has been going a long time again so we thought we'd do a little bit of you know our audience participation and do the sort of regular thing of uh basically anyone who went to calu way back can you stand please and that's you rusty too okay how about uh sydney 2001 for those people who weren't standing or have no right then lca 2003 wow still a lot of people not standing adelaide in 2004 canberra 2005. dunedin 2006 wow there's still a lot of people haven't stand yet uh sydney 2007. a few more few more melbourne in 2008. hobart in 2009. okay so i want everyone to sit down and those who are coming to lca for the first time stand up wow that's awesome so we've got a lot happening um this week as you'll probably see from the schedules we've had a few bits and pieces people speaking drop the gad and mini constant stuff like that what we're kind of trying to do is tell you the latest list of changes um each morning just before the keynote as best we can but don't always follow what's on your badge because it might be a little bit wrong so we've got plenty of keynotes tutorials boss hack fests mini conference talks lightning talks and key signings really you can go to the next one so these are the schedule changes for today alone um we decided to change the uh the mini comps around quite at the last minute so apologies to the people who um this uh put off unfortunately we had a speaker lined up for the um open public sector mini conf that we really really really wanted to have um so we just switched uh the business of open source to today and we'll have the open and public sector tomorrow tuesday in the libra graphics mini conf we've got two changes that are different uh scribus by john cruz is on now on at 11 55 and all the lever graphics tasks i said i would do are done at 450. yep looks like so hopefully arjun is here can you come up to the stage please um arjun's going to talk about blue hackers for a little bit awesome good morning i actually had my brain tuned to doing this on wednesday because you yeah in the past is it on yes it is i'll stick it in my mouth that's fine okay yes um yeah um in the past the opening things do go on wednesday so um i'm not quite union good morning um yes so november 2008 i did a little um a little gig on the stage at the closing um yeah well the closing um liking talks at ostc basically standing in front of the crowd and and just asking who here has dealt with or is dealing with depression bipolar disorder and so on um so we can do the same thing here indeed so now you look around you now keep your hands up up up up up up look around you so now you know you're not alone so that's what we did at that particular crowd and there was actually way more hands there i might have caught people by surprise it's no longer a surprise since then we've set up a website and created stickers and the only thing you need to do with the sticker is stick it on your laptop what does it do it shows other people whether you have the person or dealt with it or not um it shows other people that you have a bit of understanding for what they're going through so it's kind of a silent show of support you know like those ribbon campaigns and so on that's essentially all we visibly do there's some information on the website and there's an ic channel and have a look there it's bluehackers.org i think that's pretty much it i do have some stickers here i didn't get a chance to actually print a large stack of them that will get done so if you see me at other conferences and i'll probably distribute them to logs um you'll be able to get them but there's i don't know i might still have 100 total left so this should be sufficient to actually give each of you one if you if you catch me around thanks so lca wouldn't be lca without the social events we've got a couple of things on during the week they're all in your badge um we need to make sure that you keep your badge with you at all times to attend some of the social events just because with security and stuff like that and letting you in if you look at your badges you'll have different uh icons and logos on them uh the fish basically tells you it's the penguin dinner if you've got a ticket for that uh the the speech bubble tells you that you're coming to the speaker's dinner and the number of tickets for that if you're still keen to go to the penguin dinner which is on friday night um please let the registration know we've got limited number of tickets left so we're basically going to sell out until we've reached capacity so if you're interested in attending it'll be 115 dollars um yep heather buchanan and allison is are running the partners program this week and going taking all the partners around wellington and stuff so hopefully they'll have a good time and the weather won't be too uh unkind for them we included some sunscreen just in case but i suspect we probably won't be needing that but really um what we want to do is make sure that it's uh really get your confidence it's what you make it to be so we've organized a couple of sort of uh informal events during the week we've got yoga sessions for the first time at lca uh wednesday thursday and friday morning there's limited places i think it's 20 in total and it'll be on a first come first served basis but they're free you just need to bring yourself and probably some sort of stretchy clothes we've got code rush um on wednesday night i think um i think it'll be here um for anyone who hasn't seen it um it's about an hour i think we've got an lca geocache for the first time if anyone's sort of involved in the geocaching phenomenon we've got a penguin-themed geocache um there's a link on the website or the wiki hopefully a lot of you will have gps phones so go and find it and see what that's all about uh photography competition was just launched yesterday and what we're really trying to do is encourage you to get around wellington different parts of wellington so in your delegate bag there's a map and the map is divided into four different quadrants uh cuba courtney uh the waterfront and lambton i think and really trying to encourage people to take photographs and visit those sort of areas there's an amazing range of coffee shops and restaurants and pubs and bars and stuff in different parts of the city and it's really really cool so um have a look at the competition rules on the back of the map and start submitting photographs and obviously tag all your photographs lca2010 and over the course of the week we'll sort of announce the finalists we're going to stagger them over the week so we're going to announce our first one at tuesday morning so that's tomorrow and and really if you see a need for something different um make one up um we already had a whole bunch of folks on twitter um organizing a tweet up and that's happening tonight um there's an rsvp as well so if you're interested mark foster needs to know the rough numbers to give to uh greenman pub um it'll start at 6 pm but you really need to let them know really before 1pm if you're interested in coming along to that they'll have some food and some and beers over there but really encourage you to make up some we'll have um a bath list and lightning talk list up at some stage uh later on i think most of the buffs are already decided so there's probably a schedule out there lightning talks will happen on friday morning as part of that's keynote so we'll schedule those later in the week next slide eventually so while the slide's coming up um we've got an official charity this year um called life flight trust and the charity that's predominantly based in wellington so i'd just like to invite uh dave and anna to come up to the uh stage and let's give this sort of warm welcome and and they'll sort of introduce what we're trying to do this week thank you very much thanks for having us here my name's anna gilhooly and i run the corporate and events at the life flight trust for those of you who might not be aware of what we do we are a charity operator and we have the westpac rescue helicopter here for the wellington region but we also have a national air ambulance service that's made up of two planes that basically connect really ill people to where they need to go uh we fly 1500 people every year we're there 24 7 basically flying on average four missions every day we are lucky enough to receive some government funding to the tune of about sixty percent of our costs uh the remaining forty percent works out about eighty thousand a week and that is purely from community contributions so we are very grateful to have been chosen as a charity partner for lca 2010 on my side here i've got our crew chief dave greenberg he's going to shortly give you a bit of a talk about winching and show you a quick video on a winch rescue the reason we're talking about all of this keeping true to the theme of doing things extreme in wellington you guys as delegates here for this conference have got a really unique opportunity we've got the board approval to operate a week-long pledge auction and at the end of that auction the prize will be for four people to take place on an exclusive winch training mission with our crew you'll be dangling on a eight millimeter steel cable out the chopper you'll get dangled down and up again it's a really unique opportunity to see exactly what we do serving the community on a rescue mission this is an opportunity that literally money can't buy so i really encourage you guys to get little groups together make your bids and you will be absolutely making a very real difference in the lives of 1500 people a year so in advance of that thank you for your support uh we will be getting an email out to you to explain how you can make those pledges but in the meantime if you do want to check more about life flight just visit lifeflight.org dot nz and now just hand over to dave thank you now if any of you don't want to be there you could just go for a helicopter ride um i came to new zealand 20 years ago this week and believe it or not i was a cobalt programmer and i offered up a windows computer when they were having problems before but they said that wasn't good but um i've had a real change of life and i was a volunteer firefighter paramedic in the states and now um the ops manager but more importantly one of the rescue crew on the rescue helicopter in just a second i'll show you about a minute of the winching that up to four of you could be winning the thing about the wenching it's the ultimate team sport if you have a cricket game and you get one guy he gets a hundred another who gets a penguin or a duck um then the team can still win in winching if our pilot gets a duck then we all get a duck um what basically is happening pilots sitting in the front right hand seat of the helicopter can't see what's going on down below the crewman like myself is standing outside the helicopter there's a guy on the end of the rope which um or a woman which you could become and we call them the dope on the rope and the reason they're the dope on the rope is because there's nothing you could do to save yourself it's really relying on the two people up front i'll just show you a bit of watching if we could play that video six now still so there you go that's what you're bidding for this week or like i say if you don't want to do that bit you could just have a helicopter ride it's not for everyone we use the winch about somewhere between 30 and 50 rescues a year it could be in the bush it could be out at sea but at the end of the day it's all about teamwork and i know that the whole lcl lca conference is about teams and you'll be breaking up into your teams so really recommend if you've got a little bit of um well a helping a really good charity but b if you've got a bit of adventure in you this is as anna said a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity unless you choose to go and do some adventure sports in wellington and then i might see you at work so um thank you very much and thanks to the organizers for supporting live flight and have a really good week and enjoy wellington great thanks dave thanks hannah so that is really the ultimate prize so please give generously i really appreciate the support um we've got a number of other prizes that we're going to give away during the week stay tuned but you've really got to attend the keynotes in the morning to win them um apart from one of the two other things like the the photocomp and stuff like that but yeah nice and early starts please get in as part of one of the prizes which is to be decided uh is the ray gun weather digital have been very generous and provided as a reagan dr grobart's infallible easter oscillator so you can win this if you are at the keynotes tuesday wednesday thursday and friday along with other prizes so in terms of social networking um we're on identica we're on twitter we're on free node uh i encourage you to use the the back channel uh chats like you probably are doing right now and counting this entire welcome that's all right uh we've got a flickr tag of lca 2010 and that tag is going to be used for just about everything please blog the event please upload photos please sort of advertise and get the sort of general awareness so we can make lca bigger and better next year uh the network um the chat and hack is is really just a sort of informal uh areas around the convention center that people sort of hang out um wellington venture center is the ssid for the wireless network um all our bandwidth is sponsored as i said by citylink but you know if you use abuse the network will probably lose it so please please please be careful about what you do on the network uh the network is for all the delegates and if one person uh screws it up it screws everyone up so um just a small serious note there the venue on your badges you have maps for all the venue hopefully you shouldn't get too lost um it's pretty easy if you're confused by anything let the registration desk no and we'll try and help you as much as possible um wellington cbd it's pretty central you can walk basically everywhere get down to the waterfront get down to the areas of the photocomp and really you know get around wellington it's a great city next one and finally uh just different tips really um this is really your conference you the conference we can facilitate your conference but really this is your conference you're part of a wider community of really great people and these are your people so please please please be nice to them please be nice to the volunteers uh they're doing this all voluntary we really want to have a great week and try not to have anyone uh make it a sour note so enjoy the conference we'll see you back here on tuesday for the the morning keynote and uh enjoy the rest of the day thanks

c5rH-kY1otA	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5rH-kY1otA	Career Podcast Ep. 11: Career Insights from Michelle Jeske	>> Hello. My name is Kim Dority and I'm the Career Advisor for the San Jose State University iSchool. I'd like to welcome you and welcome our guest, Michelle Jeske, to this career podcast. Michelle is the Denver City Librarian and just recently became the Former President of the Public Library Association. She's had a fascinating career in the entire public library sphere which those of us in Colorado have had the good fortune to benefit from -- in many, many ways, I might add. With that introduction, Michelle, I'd like to welcome you to this podcast and start asking you some questions. >> Wonderful. I'm looking forward to it, Kim. Thanks for the opportunity. >> Great. Okay, so first question -- as the Denver City Librarian, could you describe what you see as some of the most important aspects of your role? >> That is a great question. I think probably first and foremost, as the head of a large organization, it's about relationship building in the community at large with other community leaders and, particularly in our case as an independent agency of a city government, relationship building with the city. And that's really about making sure that we're getting the support that we need for the current work at hand. Making sure that we're developing the partnerships to help the community and the city do their work. And then thinking to the future and making sure that I'm doing the kind of advocacy that will be needed to ensure the sustainability of our future work. So that's the first thing. I think related to that but slightly different is helping people understand the importance of the library, what we actually do, and why it matters. And then internally it's really about setting the vision and the direction for the organization so the staff know where we're going, why we're doing the work that we're doing, and helping them understand what their role in that work is. And then I have an executive team. So, in addition to being a leader of the whole organization, I have my own team that I need to help grow and nurture. And I spend time helping them make sure that we're keeping the big picture in mind, that we're making strategic decisions, reminding ourselves that we are essentially running a -- a pretty large business. And not getting too bogged down in all of the details in empowering my directors who report to me, to help empower their managers and other supervisors to -- to make some of those more detailed decisions. So the -- I guess the idea of trying to help the team keep their eye on the ball which is further out, and not just what is right here in front of us at the moment. So I think those are kind of the four big things that -- that take up a lot of my time. >> Um, that must be an interesting challenge in many ways, but also because in a city as large as Denver, your branches have such different communities. >> That's so true and so, you know, my role and the executive team's role is to set that larger vision and direction for the organization. We have a strategic roadmap that outlines the objectives and things that we'd like to see happen. But nobody knows their communities better than the staff who work in those neighborhood branches. And so, within the framework of the -- of the roadmap, they have the flexibility to be able to pivot and meet the -- the individual needs that they're seeing within their own communities. You know, an example might be that we don't do some of our programs for immigrants and refugees in every one of our 26 locations. We're only doing that work where we see the need. We -- we target our work around older adults in the neighborhoods where we see more older adults coming to use the library, just as a few examples. >> That makes a lot of sense. It's almost a combination of a centralized vision, a decentralized community response. >> Yeah. I think that's a great way to describe it. >> That -- that's very cool. And, although I've had what I would consider a -- a fantastic benefit of watching your career trajectory -- trajectory through the DPL system, could you tell the students a little bit about what your various jobs and responsibilities have been while you've been at DPL -- sort of where you started and then how you moved through the system because I know, for students, a lot of times it is difficult for them to understand how do you get from where you start to -- to a leadership role or a management role. And -- and you had a very -- what would I call it? I would say you have been thrust into a lot of different opportunities where it was sort of a case of nobody sort of knows what we should do here. Let's throw Michelle at it [laughing]. And you would step in and create these wonderful outcomes. So if you could talk a little bit about, sort of, your path from where you started at Denver Public Library to ending up being the Denver City Librarian. >> Sure. And if it's okay, Kim, I would go a little bit further back because -- >> Absolutely. >> -- yeah, thank you. So I -- I would suggest that I have a fairly nontraditional path to where I am and I didn't start off wanting to be a city librarian or director. That just had never even occurred to me when I came out of library school. So I -- I -- I do want to talk about some jobs before DPL because it's directly related to -- to how I got here. >> Terrific. >> So my first professional job was at the New York Public Library and I had -- I worked in three different branches there. So -- and I say that because I've never been on the front lines or in what we would call public service at Denver Public Library. But that's where I started and I learned so much working at the New York Public Library about what being a public librarian actually means. And I learned a lot about reference and readers' advisory and it was a phenomenal experience. From there I went to the San Antonio Public Library. And, oh, I should say I took on a supervisory role before I left New York Public, and then I stepped into a brand new central library at the San Antonio Public Library. Their central library was built and opened the same year as the one here in Denver. And so they expanded their staff a lot and I took on a supervisory role in a department at the central library there in the reference department and I did that for a while. And then I'd gotten some experience with very, very early web development at New York Public when there really -- we weren't even really talking about graphical user interfaces, and so that was helpful when I was in San Antonio because I let folks know I had that experience and helped create the first volunteer -- voluntary staff committee of folks to help develop a website for San Antonio Public Library. And that soon become a role that I took on full time and -- and moved out of the reference department and started helping select databases and set up the first internet training program there and developed a team that -- that, kind of, was part of the burgeoning virtual world that -- that libraries were just starting to explore. And then I had a wonderful opportunity to try something completely different and -- here in Denver -- and I was hired to be a product manager at an integrated library system that was then called the Carl Corporation and is now part of the TLC Corporation. And so I [laughing] ridiculously decided to move to Denver and try something that was totally outside of my comfort zone and expertise, which seems to be part of my DNA. And I -- I -- boy, did I learn a lot there, including that I really needed to be in public service and not work for a corporation. But I learned a ton about vendor relations from the vendor side of things and about customer service from the vendor side of things and about where web development and ILSs were heading. So it was a very, very beneficial experience that helped me with my career at DPL. But, as I said, it really wasn't the right fit for me and so I just -- another trend in my life is just being lucky. I think being lucky and also being open to change and -- and growth. I just happened to really be ready to move on when the perfect job opened up at Denver Public, which was to start their first web development team -- like an actual team and not just a volunteer staff committee. So I came in and -- and created a team and took on some of the electronic collection development work and just kind of kept expanding my portfolio. Did some supervision of ILL for a while and -- over time became a manager and helped create the Community Technology Center, which was our first really big lab to support people with the -- the digital divide at the Central Library. And we got the idea labs, our makerspaces going. And some other things, I guess, in between there. And then I had -- my predecessor in the last job that I had decided to retire, so I became the interim director of collections and technology I think it was at the time. And, boy, that was an interesting period. So I was the interim director of collections and technology for a while. And it was during the last recession and I ended up having to do that job and my manager job for a very long time because we just simply couldn't -- couldn't hire people. And it was a fascinating time to be on the executive team for a lot of reasons. We had a lot of projects in the hopper including designing new libraries. So I got to be a part of those experiences. We were implementing RFID and tagging all the items in our collection, so I got -- really got the experience to be able to work with the city attorney's office and deal with very large contracts and really large projects. That was wonderful experience. So when I was able to apply for that job, I did and I got it. And I had that for quite a while. And I really enjoyed being on the executive team and working on really neat projects. I also added the word "Innovation" to my title at some point and started helping the library really think about design thinking and how to do strategic planning and inclusive planning differently. And that kind of set me up for, I guess, starting to think about whether I wanted to go for the top leadership job because, as I said at the beginning, I really hadn't planned on that. I just had many opportunities available to me to learn and grow and try new things. And our city librarian at the time -- told me that she would be retiring and she told everybody else on the team, too. It was a competitive process to really think about what I wanted to do and what I wanted to learn to make sure that I would be as ready as possible when that time came. So I took every opportunity I could to do professional development and really take on assignments well outside of my sphere of -- of normal duties. And so, when she did retire, there -- as they tend to do with these kinds of roles, hired a search firm and, you know, a national executive search firm. And I put my hat in the ring and went through an arduous process to -- to get this job. And I've been grateful to have it. I've been in the role six years now. And I think so many things that I've been able to do throughout my career have been really helpful in -- in this particular role with these set of responsibilities. So I'm very grateful. >> It -- it's interesting when someone has had as an eclectic a career as you have had in terms of different kinds of work that you've done, how they all thread and interweave eventually to create someone who has a really broad knowledge base which, I think to your point about being open to learning and growing and trying new things, that's how you end up with such a broad expanse of not just expertise, but view. You -- you look at libraries and the role of libraries and even the library in Denver more broadly than someone else might who had just had a more narrow path, which I tend to think is really terrific. And as part of DPL being in a major city, the Central Library is located downtown right next to a large park with a substantial population of people who are experiencing homelessness. Some of them also have substance abuse challenges. I know and I know a lot of people know that you have had drug overdoses in the library because it's gotten a lot of media coverage. It sounds like a really challenging situation. Can you tell us how you've handled that? >> It -- it has been and continues to be a challenging situation. We like to say that "Public" is our middle name and so anything that's going on in the public or in society is found, too, to happen in the library because everyone is welcome. And that is one of our five values is welcoming. And so we do welcome everybody, whether they are housed or unhoused, whether they have substance misuse challenges or -- or not. All ages, all creeds, everybody. And so when you're that welcoming, it means that sometimes behaviors can happen in the library that -- that are not allowed. And so that's really -- I would say we have a -- a multi-pronged approach. One is that we have a library use policy as most -- hopefully all -- libraries have. And behavior is or is not allowed. And so that is what we try to focus on, not whether people have homes or whether they have -- behaviors -- I guess not behaviors, but addictions that are -- that are hurting them themselves. >> Mm-hmm. >> So it comes down to the library use policy and so behaviors, when we see it, that's not allowed. It -- it's not allowed. But that -- that sometimes means removing people for the day or it means some -- some very hard conversations and some -- in difficult situations. So we have had overdoses inside and outside of the library. We -- as opioid use and, honestly, all sorts of challenging drug use has escalated in our country, we're seeing more of that activity. And we're seeing it not just at the Central Library, but we're seeing evidence of the -- the use of -- of needles around the -- the community, which is really concerning. >> Yeah. >> We're also seeing more people experiencing homelessness in parts of the city that we've never seen them in before because of the skyrocketing costs of housing here. So what -- what has been mostly centered in the urban core of big cities, I think, across the country, we're seeing sort of spread even out into the suburbs to point where some suburban libraries are hiring social workers as well. >> Wow. >> So, first and foremost, library use policy -- making sure that we're adhering to it. But then we have a group of social workers. We have four of them and then we have -- they also have a team of peer navigators. So those are people with lived experience. They may have experienced homelessness themselves. They may have their own substance challenges -- any number of things. And so that -- the role of that team is to help -- build relationships with people, make referrals to them, do warm -- what they call warm hand-offs. So not just handing somebody a card with a phone number, but -- >> Wow. >> -- trying to make connections for whatever that person might need in the moment. They help de-escalate situations along with our security staff. And then they provided training for the rest of our staff on how to think about things from a trauma-informed lens, how to de-escalate situations, how to think about mental health differently -- things like that. We also -- we're probably one of the first libraries to -- to develop a pretty robust NARCAN program. So we have hundreds of staff that have been trained, including myself, on how to administer naloxone in case that we experience a situation where we see somebody overdosing in front of us. And, unfortunately, we have had to use that quite a few times. During COVID, when we weren't open, obviously those numbers went down, but it didn't mean that the overdoses weren't happening in the community. They just weren't happening at -- >> At the library. >> Yeah. And then the -- I guess the other part of it is that we are part of many meetings and part of a collective impact effort. Actually a couple -- one specifically on opioids within the city and a bunch of nonprofits, but then I'm on the mayor's homelessness cabinet. So -- >> Wow. >> -- making sure that the library is at the table to take part in conversations about how to be humane about these things, but also to talk about the very real challenges that we're experiencing, which are resource intensive. >> That's interesting because normally you wouldn't think of our -- or we wouldn't think of having to include solutions for addressing social issues as part of a budget allocation. But, clearly, it does have major budget implications. And, to your point about having a seat at the table, the only way the city would know that and the city stakeholders would be if you did have a seat at the table and were able to make that point. That is fascinating. So now I'm going to -- if it's okay, I'm going to pivot you a little bit and ask about your career progression which, actually, we -- we've had a good opportunity to talk about a bit. But here's my question. The first job you landed after graduating with your MLAS, what was that job and how did you land it? >> Yeah. This is kind of funny. So I went to the University of Washington for grad school. And so, of course, that's in Seattle. And I graduated in the early '90s when everybody thought Seattle was the place to be. >> Oh, yeah! >> Very competitive -- like, insanely competitive job market. There were a lot of librarians from California that were taking entry level jobs. It just was a very difficult time for somebody with very little experience [laughing] to get a job and we loved it there. And it was -- it was really tough, so I participated -- I did some interviews on campus, and the New York Public Library came to campus to do some recruitment and I had no -- I had no intention of moving to New York City. I just thought it would be great experience -- and it is. I would advise doing this -- [inaudible] interviews. Just put yourself out there and get some experience interviewing. Build your confidence, for one thing. And so they offered me a job. And I really -- I'll just be honest -- I didn't have any other offers and my husband is an artist and he thought, well, look, he could go to The Art Students League. So we just up and moved from Seattle to Brooklyn, and -- >> Oh, my gosh. >> -- that's how I landed my first job. Kind of on a lark, really. You know? And I tell people now -- I didn't know where I was going to work. I -- it's so -- it was -- I don't know if they still do it this way there, but you -- you just apply and you get accepted. And when I got there, they told me where I was going to work. So I was so lucky -- >> Oh, my gosh. >> -- they offered -- not offered, told me [inaudible] work at the Jefferson Market Branch Library in Greenwich Village. I mean -- >> Oh, how fun! >> -- yeah, what a gift. And it really was a gift. So that's -- yeah, that's how that happened. >> [laughing] I -- I am mentally envisioning living in Seattle and then moving to Brooklyn. It -- talk about a culture shift, shall we say! >> Yes. And there's a reason that we were only there, like, two and a half years. We are -- we are more midwest slash west coast people. Great experience, but I knew -- I knew moving there we weren't going to be living in New York for forever. >> Cool. What an experience, though. So another question that's sort of related to from then to now, what are some -- from your perspective, what are some of the most important skills that you've had to learn since grad school to adapt to new job demands or opportunities? Because one of the things that I think students need to become comfortable with is they've done all this studying, they have gotten their degrees, and that's terrific and we're thrilled for them. But basically that's just the start. They've got -- for the rest of their careers -- they have things that they will be learning in order to remain competitive, in order to be able to contribute to the profession and their constituents at their highest level. So, for you, what have some of those skills looked like? >> Yeah. I think that is so important. And, as you were saying that, I was thinking how important professional development is to me and, you know, some of that is the traditional means -- conferences, workshops, etc. But I feel like I learn more by observing and trying things. And so I think about that as I think about answering your question. I don't -- I -- I -- I'm not -- I had a great experience at the University of Washington, but I didn't really have the opportunity at that time to take some of the classes that might have helped me that I think that your students probably have the ability to learn now. So I -- some of the most important skills I've had to learn since grad school are really around management, leadership, strategy, fundraising -- >> Mm-hmm. >> -- team building, how to hire. >> Oh, yeah! >> And probably the most important thing, at least at this point in my career, and -- it is a skill and I don't think you go to school to learn it, is just political acumen. I think you learn that by -- by doing, by observing others, by trying things and seeing what doesn't work [laughing] and what does, and then [inaudible] trying it differently the next time. >> And that's very much in alignment with your mention earlier of design thinking. >> Mm-hmm. >> I kind of look at professional development from the same perspective. And -- and for those of you who are not familiar with design thinking, a very, very streamlined definition is basically figure out what you're trying to do, come up with an approach to try it. You try it and figure out what worked and what didn't and then you reiterate. You learn from that and then you try again -- better. Um, and I think when it comes to professional growth and professional development, especially to your point about the political acumen, that very much is learning on the fly. It's -- it's learning from people who are good at it and watching them. At least it has been from my perspective. And -- and am I correct in thinking that the entire time that you have been in your role as the Denver City Librarian, we have had the same mayor and that would be Mayor Hancock? >> That is true, and so I -- I do think about that looking forward because he'll be term-limited in 2023. We'll have a new mayor and we'll have a bunch of new city council members, too. And so -- >> Oh, interesting. >> -- it will be a different world, which will be very interesting. During my career at DPL, we've had three -- four mayors, I think. But, yeah, I -- I -- I know this mayor really well and I know his team really well, and so I know how to communicate with him. And I'm sure that will be useful going forward, but it will be getting to know somebody else and the people they bring in. >> Interesting. >> It will take some work. Mm-hmm. >> So over the course of your career, what work have you enjoyed the most or found most rewarding? >> I couldn't pinpoint one specific role that I've had, or even a project. But I really think it's just learning new things, trying new things. I don't know. I've just had, as I said, so much opportunity to pivot and grow and stretch. And maybe I just need change. I don't think I'm somebody who's opposed to change. I've just really enjoyed trying lots of different things, including some of the things I talked about that are kind of outside of the professional librarian skill set. I -- that's part of why I like this job because it's so varied. You know? One meeting is, you know, back to back with another and both of them are going to be so entirely different. I do -- in this role, have really enjoyed working more directly with other community members and leaders to learn about their needs and their desires, and then figure out how we can work together. And sometimes that's -- led to building a new library, as an example. We'll be opening a new library here in September and I've worked on that project for five years and have met a lot of people and, really, it's going to be an award-winning, groundbreaking project because we're doing it in partnership with others. And that's just been a lot of fun. >> That -- that, to me, is an interesting trend in public libraries. And it's an interesting and really important opportunities -- opportunity for public libraries. I was just reading an article in the Stanford Social Innovation Review and what they were talking about was how communities identify opportunities for social innovation and how the stakeholders are who can contribute to those initiatives. And I -- I was reading and I kept waiting to see libraries show up. [laughing] And they -- they didn't mention libraries. And I kept thinking, boy, you're really missing a huge bet. And I'm guessing that libraries will more and more take those kinds of collaborative, if not leadership, roles in their communities as drivers of community development, as drivers of social innovation in their communities because of their ability to connect all of those different stakeholders. >> Yeah. I think their ability to connect with stakeholders, the trust that public libraries have -- >> Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. >> -- in the community, and the -- the knowledge that we have about our communities. We have a lot of information that we can impart to -- to other organizations to help them with their work. I -- I also think these collaborative projects can -- lift up community innovation. I'm particularly thinking about this project that we're -- that we're working on, that we're about to open. There will be artists on campus and there will be entrepreneurs on campus and -- with -- sort of in the wheelhouse of these two other groups that we're working with. And we're hoping to really work with the artists and the entrepreneurs to do public programming for others and then also to help meet the needs of -- of the artists themselves and the entrepreneurs. So it kind of goes both way. >> Mm-hmm. >> There's stuff we can do to help them, but we can also utilize their skills and knowledge and their connections to -- to help the broader community. >> Cool. All right. Now I'm going to ask you to put on your employer hat and -- because one of the questions students are always curious about, and it's important, is what are the most important attributes, let's say in general, from your perspective, a major urban public library would look -- be looking for in the people it hires. And -- and I'm thinking here about personal characteristics rather than domain or job-specific skills. What would -- what do you think you would encourage your, say, branch managers to be looking for? >> Mm-hmm. That's such a great question. I think, first, probably an understanding of what a modern public library does. And an understanding of what an urban community's challenges are. We're looking for people who are curious. We're looking for people who are flexible and open-minded and have a customer service ethic. We really want to see people with a passion and interest to serve the community. People that are people centered. As we try to become more equitable in our work with our staff and our community, we're looking for people that have that mindset of equity. Yeah. I think that pretty much covers it. I -- I think you're right. A lot of it has to do with attitude. >> Okay. Terrific. And -- how have you seen that change since you were a new graduate just joining the profession? >> I feel like when I was being interviewed and, you know, first starting out, questions were really more around the traditional library skills and knowledge. >> So -- domain knowledge. >> Really! Around that. I just don't remember some of the attitudinal and sort of behavioral questions that we ask now. And we -- as you said earlier, we still need the skill set that comes from -- from the -- the education that your students are getting, but those things can be taught. That's why people go to school for it. >> Mm-hmm. >> And you can't necessarily teach -- attitude. And -- and fit. >> Right. Interesting. Okay. I -- and I would say that's the exact same trajectory or shift that I have seen from when I was just entering the profession. It -- it was -- we were what I would call stuff- or material-centric. >> Mm-hmm. >> You needed to know about the materials, whereas now the materials certainly are important. It's how we do what we do. But on the other hand the relationship building, the trust relationship, the -- the empathy, the embrace of equity, all of those sorts of things really are expanding the impact that libraries can have in their communities, I think, and I think that's great. All right. So here's -- here's the money question. This is what the students all want to know. What advice would you give students still in grad school in terms of positioning themselves for jobs when they graduate? >> Good question. >> [laughing] I wish I'd thought about this in grad school! >> Yeah. I know! I know -- I know. I did work in a special library in grad school, so I think that helped. But I don't think it helped me with a quest to get a public library job when I lived in Seattle. So -- yeah, I think there are things you can do. And I know that some people are holding down full time jobs and so some of this advice is -- is probably not possible. But I think if it is possible to volunteer at or get an internship at the type of library you'd like to work in, or at least go and observe, especially if you're interested in working in an urban public library. It may not be what you think it is, and I think -- >> -- really good point. >> -- even observing, you'll get a sense of whether this is the place for you. I -- I think people should interview people who work there. Either if you have your eyes set on a particular institution or just a kind of library, try to set up some informational interviews to find out what it's like to work there and what kind of environment it is. I think there's a lot you can do to just read up on what's happening in the type of library you're working in -- that you'd like to work in right now. And if there's a particular community that you'd like to be in, to just learn as much as you can about the community. I think all of that is going to help you do really well in the interview process. And then if you do get a position there, be better set up for success than kind of coming in cold. >> Cool. Okay. And then, last, I'd like to take you back to your previous role of being PLA president. We've just come through this total disruption from the pandemic lockdown and I -- I use the phrase "we've just come through" loosely because we're not really sure if we have come through it yet. But it appears to me that libraries did a pretty amazing job of adapting wherever possible to continue to support their patrons and communities. Yet, even before the pandemic, libraries had been experimenting with sort of new and innovative ways to increase their community impact. So as someone who sort of was looking at the entirety of the -- the spectrum from large to small, and urban to rural, and all those things in public libraries -- as you look at public libraries going forward, what do you feel may change? What do you think will probably stay the same? And what opportunities do you see for the future? >> Well, Kim, I think, as you said, our whole world is changed. Our society -- I think, even our norms and more have all changed. And it's not just the pandemic, but the recognition of the racism that our country has been founded on and how much further we have to go to challenge inequity. It's how divided our country is. There's just a lot that has happened and I think, as you said, it's not over yet. So I am proud of how libraries have responded during this time -- all kinds of libraries. I think we've demonstrated we can be very flexible and meet the new needs of our communities. I also think we have a lot of work to do to create new systems that are more equitable for staff in communities. And we have a lot of work to do to break down very old and outdated systems and structures. So I think change is going to need to continue to happen. I guess on a little bit more of a micro level, I think some of the new services are going to stick around -- curbside pickup is convenient for many. Home delivery is important for those who can't get to the library. Virtual programming has removed barriers for some people. So there's a place for all of that and more as -- as libraries can. I worry about resource limits, trying to add more in a time when, frankly, a lot of libraries have less. I do think that once it feels safer than it does now, I think we'll see a big shift back toward in-person programming and services because, at the end of the day, that's one of the most beautiful things about libraries is how it brings people together. And people do want that. They crave it and they need it when there isn't a pandemic. We know that libraries really are the community center for a lot of people and that's been partially taken away this last year. So I -- I think that, while these new innovations have been great, there's something at the core of what we traditionally do that will remain and -- and probably be a stronger need than ever. I think the other thing that I've been thinking about is I think we're going to see shorter strategic planning cycles. >> Oh, that's interesting. >> Yeah. We've just witnessed -- the world is incredibly unpredictable. I mean, it's -- I can't track what's going on with COVID now from day to day, and -- and even before then with technology shifts and other societal shifts. They're just -- they're happening more quickly. >> Right. >> And so I think libraries and all organizations are going to need to -- to stay as adaptable as we've proven that we have been this last year. >> I -- I think that core concept of adaptability is so important, but I've never heard it described the way you just did it, which is shorter strategic planning. And that makes so much sense because I remember when I was graduating and I was really into strategic planning for, you know, what am I going to do next? And what are my career goals? And that kind of thing -- and what happened was roughly five years after I graduated the internet arrived, and there was literally no way I could have envisioned such a totally world-changing, career-changing, library-changing disruptive technology. And -- and to your point, technologies are changing. Our assumptions about who we are as a country and what we're expecting of our communities and those sorts of things are changing. And so that shorter strategic planning window seems to be, to me, a great way to be more adaptable because then you are anticipating that there will be change. >> I think that's a great way of saying it. >> All right. So anything else you think the iSchool students should -- should know or be thinking about from your perspective? >> I guess I would just say that you -- you're joining a great profession. I -- I strongly believe that what we do is very important. You literally can help change people's lives in this profession. I also think that our profession is steeped in historic racism and there is a lot of work to do there to break down the structural and institutional racism. And that's going to take time, but it's going to be worth the effort and will make the work we do way more impactful than it already is. So glad you're joining the profession. It's not easy work, especially these days, but it's very, very rewarding, and I hope you find it that way as well. >> And -- and I couldn't agree more. Well, thank you so much, Michelle, for joining us. Thank you for the work that you do, and everyone who's listening -- get out there and -- and we will follow in Michelle's footsteps. Thanks so much.

ferWxPUN3ig	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ferWxPUN3ig	What is a Dramatic Monologue?: A Literary Guide for English Students and Teachers	The Dramatic Monologue is a kind of Lyric  Poem, the second-oldest form of poetry in   the Western world after the Epic. But unlike  long narrative Epics with their heroes and gods,   Lyric Poetry developed as a short, meditative  poem in Greek culture spoken over cords struck   on a harp-like instrument called a Lyre to mostly  aristocratic audiences. The instrument gave the   poetic form its name, and in turn is where we  derive the term Lyrics to refer to the words of a   song. From its origins in Hellenic culture all the  way through the end of the 18th century, however,   the voice of lyric poetry was always assumed  to be that of the poet him or herself,   offering in elaborate musical  rhythms and provocative metaphors   his/her own experiences or thoughts directly  to an audience of readers or listeners. Poets of the Romantic movement in Europe of the  1780’s and beyond began to write a different kind   of Lyric poem called the Dramatic Monologue. In  this type of poem, the poet adopts a persona (a   voice and character other than his or her  own) very much like a playwright puts his   or her thoughts into the mouths of characters  in a drama. But in the Dramatic Monologue poem,   the voice/persona reveals through observation  that he/she is most often speaking to an audience   other than the reader—addressing another  figure in the poem or even one the speaker   imagines needs to hear some pressing matter  while not actually present at the moment. In the Romantic Dramatic Monologue, the persona  usually has a tale to tell that suggests the   struggles and victories of everyday people, often  in rural settings, and how they might find solace   in human ideals like the peace of nature,  spiritual fulfillment, or loving relations   between family, friends, or lovers. The themes of  these poems attempt to teach the reader a lesson   about ethics or beauty and are stated directly to  this implied audience with an urgent sincerity. In   Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s 1798 poem,  Rime of the Ancient Mariner, for example,   an old sailor stops a wedding  guest on his way to the ceremony   and explains to him what he has learned  about devotion, love, and respect for all   living thing—concluding his monologue with  the Romantic sentiment that “He prayeth best   who loveth best/All things great and small/For the  dear God who loveth us/He made and loveth all.” In 19th century England, the Dramatic  Monologue form became a staple kind of poem   for the generation of English people referred  to as Victorians after their Queen, who ruled   for 70 years. Since the novel was the most popular  form of literature during that era, the Dramatic   Monologue appears to have appealed to Victorian  audience’s fascination with fictional characters. During this period as well, one  poet in particular, Robert Browning,   single-handedly changed the Dramatic monologue  by introducing personae whom were so troubled,   delusional, or egotistical that, as they explain  themselves to their audience, they indirectly   reveal their misperceptions and failings—which  they never appear to grasp themselves. Thus even   before the advent of the Unreliable Narrator  in Modern fiction, these Dramatic-monologue   personae functioned in poems in the same manner  I explained in a previous video in this series   about that other narrational mode. In one of  Browning’s most famous Dramatic Monologues,   entitled “My Last Duchess,” a Renaissance Duke  is conducting a tour of his magnificent home   with a Count’s agent, who has come to discuss  the terms of the Duke’s next marriage.   The Duke feels compelled to explain to  him how he came to lose his first wife,   the Duchess of the poem’s title. When the pair  encounter a painting with a curtain drawn over it,   the Duke draws the drapes to reveal a portrait  of his former wife. He explains to the agent   that his last Duchess never learned  that she was to have showed him respect   and adoration above all things in her world—as  the aristocratic culture of his era dictated.   But the Duke explains further that the Duchess had A heart—how shall I say?— too soon made glad,  Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.  Sir, ’twas all one! My favour at her breast, The dropping of the daylight in the West,  The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule  She rode with round the terrace—all and each Would draw from her alike the approving speech,  Or blush, at least. She  thanked men—good! but thanked  Somehow—I know not how—as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name  With anybody’s gift. In this passage, the Duke indeed reveals  himself to be a total control-freak;   in the next breath, he implies he had the Duchess  killed for what he perceived was her insolence!   Although the agent never  speaks nor judges the Duke,   we as readers eavesdrop on their conversation  and are allowed to see in the Duke’s control   of his wife (even over who he allows to view  her portrait), that his obsession with being   worshipped goes well beyond the matrimonial  assumptions of his era. In this way, readers   of the poem are being encouraged to understand the  Duke’s explanations ironically, and through this,   to grasp Browning’s Feminist denouncement  of the Duke’s control and abuse of his wife. Browning’s update on the Dramatic Monologue  went on to influence how the form was used   by most 20th Century poets, from T.S. Eliot’s  influential 1917 poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred   Prufrock” to Sylvia Plath’s 1965 “Lady Lazarus” to  Ai’s 1979 “Killing Floor” to Rita Dove’s 1980 “The   House Slave.” Each of these very different poets  recognized that the Dramatic Monologue allows the   writer to imply ironic distance from a persona’s  observations in the poem.

A0UB-UfJonE	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0UB-UfJonE	Interview with Justin Cunningham	never fear the black belt bots are here presenting another epic experience with your host rj reddy hey um it looks like we had a little button shuffle in there hey everybody welcome to the epic engagement adventure i am your host rj redden uh and uh hopefully you know me by now uh but if you don't i uh we are here to talk with a human that knows how to uh let's just say cut the bull uh that's why i chose my background today it's the swords yes we're gonna cut right uh with my friend justin cunningham we are going to cut to the chase and uh and talk about how to get some results uh so justin thank you for joining me today oh my absolute pleasure rj thanks for having me i met justin uh just a little while back at a networking deal and what impresses me most about justin is that he just isn't afraid to say what is on his mind do you know how sometimes when you're talking to people and they're sort of dancing around a subject and you're not really sure what they mean or what's going on you'll never get that experience with my friend justin cunningham tell us who you are what you do and where you're from well thanks again rj uh yeah look my name is justin cunningham i have a business called shift your results i'm based in auckland new zealand i previously was based in la my wife's american so i'm a bit of a global citizen and what i do is really help frustrated rock stars and business go big that's the short version of it and there's three key things that i focus on and it's helping people stand out with very x factor create transformative business meaning the difference between transactional and transformative is that transformative is expansive work how big can this thing go it's about solutions it's about impact rather than just making a sale now what tends to happen also if you play a transformative game is you get rewarded for far more than you would if you were playing this uh transactional type game and the last thing is optimization so many people i come i've come across are suffering and the idea that they have to do things a certain way and they just do them over and over and over and they you know and if it doesn't work it just leads to this kind of constant beating themselves up and thinking i've got to go harder i've just got to do more i've got to go to learn another thing and and what i've discovered is is that there is a lot of mythology out there and what i help people do is cut through that to the things that matter and i'm a big fan of the 80 20 principle and so i follow a lot of that which is for people that don't know what that means it means that statistically 20 of what you're doing is producing 80 of your results more recent researchers said it's more like five percent of what you're doing is producing the majority of your results so so that suggests two things one we're wasting a lot of time and energy and two if we can find the five to twenty percent that's working and double it we can work half as much and get twice as much reward so for me i like to do i like to move fast i like to find the one thing that's going to make a big difference and make sure that we're asking ourselves the right question so yeah that's that's my thing i come from a background of being a music guy um i'm one of the pioneers of hip-hop in new zealand i started rap battles in new zealand 22 years ago before that i was a big skateboarder top five skateboarder skateboarder with tony hawk and all that stuff so getting radical and facing fear and working on that inner stuff to get the outer rewards is also a big part of my makeup and what i support people with and uh i think yeah i mean i could keep talking about all these different things that i'm passionate about but i think that's a pretty good summary aj well excellent uh you know i mean one of the well in may we talk maybe talk about the title of your book uh that you've been working on can you give us that because it's it's splendid and i want everyone to know yeah yeah well actually i'll be honest with you the book title i'm uming and aaring about but you know really it's but really the the current title that rj's talking about is the big lie all right so and that is really about there are so many myths about how to create success that have been passed on to us from different generations and and those stories uh are really inhibiting us now you know for example you know like if you work harder than the next guy you're going to get results really you know the majority of the clients that i work with and people that i work with work extremely hard to to to and then if results don't turn up then that turns into a lot of negative self-talk and they end up paralyzing themselves by over analyzing and all that sort of stuff so then you think well there must be an alternative to that goal setting you know stanford and sanford university at the west coast university did a study on it and found that it was eight percent effective now this is something that you get told all the time you know write your goals down is twice as likely to come to fruition all that sort of stuff but that's not actually the case because it's a missing step you know learn more to earn more how many of us have done multiple courses and multiple programs struggle to finish them let alone implement them and then gone and then we went and did it again because we'd be conditioned to believe that the more educated we are the more results we'll get and that comes from an idea that knowledge is power no it's not it's fuel there has to be an engine for that fuel to turn into power and that is called action and one of the things that i really focus on with people versus this idea of you should listen to me is no no don't listen to me go and do this thing and see what happens just just go and do this thing and see what happens like oh sorry you don't have to believe me i'm not interested in you believing me but i am interested in supporting your success beliefs because without evidence you won't change my stuff is just philosophy at this stage until you do something and then when you do it you go wow is it can it actually happen that easily and i go yeah because most people are trying to solve the wrong problem yeah you know if you look at sales and marketing for example you go there's so much stuff that you could possibly try and learn but the reality is have you increased your connections and conversations that's it because math says if you increase your conversations you increase your opportunities if you increase your opportunities you increase your revenue even if you don't know how to sell don't know how to pitch don't know how to position and don't have a very good offer the statistics say you'll still have more success but we make it complicated we make it really complicated and i'm really the anti-overwhelmed guy and that's really what i'm trying to to remedy and this book is designed to show people what's the difference between this old school transactional way and the you know the the new approved statistically proven transformative way again i'm not going to put stuff out there that's like here's my opinion on success we don't need another european book you need numbers and i'm stuck under people like jay abraham and people like that who are the most sort of transformative thought leaders on the planet earth and uh there's a lot of statistics about how if you shift your focus uh in terms of how you're doing things and your your your beliefs that you can have radical transformation very very quickly and i've got plenty of evidence which maybe we can talk about later yeah uh that that sounds good well i want to i wanted to point out uh something that you had said earlier in our conversation i do wish we had just hit go live about you know 10 minutes before we did because you were just dropping gold in that conversation but one thing you said about your book is that it's it's about the the success mythology uh the mythology of success or something like that and i just immediately laughed because the picture in my mind you know all these myths that we you know hold to be true uh and that guide us uh you know when you don't know what to do work harder uh when you don't know what to do take another class that kind of thing that you know it really does drive uh drive a lot of what we do uh russ is saying the new transformation we're being seen and heard and building authority um yeah ex exactly exactly what i was thinking about uh so so i just uh i also have a uh like in my brain like a funny cover for the success mythology book but uh you know we can talk about that later but uh but yeah you were talking about getting into numbers getting into proof um and so yeah well you know again i'm left and right brain so you know like i'm creative and empathic and i can feel the problem but i'm like well that's great but how are you going to be part of a solution you can sit there moaning and complaining all day long you know like everybody does but what are you going to do differently and so shift your results is really about that and you know and again it's it's about showing people very quick things that they can do so that they get proof and one of the things that i've discovered is again like things like goal setting or stretch goals they're actually sabotage mechanisms goal setting is not a sabotage mechanism but stretch goals definitely are and the reason why is because when we first get an idea and ahead i'm going to launch this thing it's going to be amazing and i've got all this juice and energy and then you start doing it and then you come against the reality of implementation and taking action and then it becomes challenging and then your self-doubt and self-talk starts kicking in and it becomes more and more difficult to finish whereas uh you know especially if it's a big goal you know whereas if you've got micro goals you have small goals and you keep finishing the foundation of your belief and your success and this kinetic energy just keeps rolling and that is absolutely critical for people to remember that i've got to create constant reminders that i've had success and keep setting those low goals you know like okay you had your to-do list but did you celebrate that you did the to-do list and how many things are on your to-do list you know while you know 10 12 things okay out of those 12 how many did you do or four okay so you got eight left so what are you going to do with those eight oh you're going to attack them on the end of the 12 tomorrow aren't you so that means you've now got 20. now you keep doing that by the end of the week how do you feel exhausted overwhelmed beaten and inadequate but the whole problem was you put 12 things on your to-do list if you just put four things or three things on your to-do list there's a guy called gary ryan blair who's called the goals guy and this is essentially his whole premise concentrate on three goals daily monthly annually just concentrate on three and even then he's like pretty much focus on one and uh you know people like todd herman from the 90 day year they talk about this sort of stuff as well in terms of he's a high performance coach and you know about basically effectiveness and that's really the key thing you know stop chasing results just be more effective and you know another way of framing that we've probably all heard before is you know concentrate on the process and and again whatever you're doing get clear on what it is that you're trying to achieve and if it worked great double down if it didn't work find out what happened try and prove if it's still not working then move on and do something else but and this is something i see a lot most people don't stop to measure the effectiveness of their tactics and you know and as a result they're really not sure what's working and what's not but there's no excuse for that because really there's all the tools in the world these days to show you where you're at so that old adage of oh you know 50 of my marketing is working but i don't know which half hahaha that's 20 years ago now there's no reason for you not to know um but as somebody myself who's struggled with that and i'll be honest with you i've also had problems with my energy i've had a fatigue problem since i was in my early 30s this really drove me to sort of say well i can either beat myself up for not having all the energy that i need to get everything done or i can find the most transformative things to do and do those with the time i do have yeah and what that what that did was it led me to this kind of epiphany and i actually looked around me i went hey everybody's in this boat everybody's feeling like this nobody really wants to work eight to 12 hours a day you know like like you know in this part of the world in australasia you know we we're all about you know work to live not live to work whereas when i was living in america i could see that the way you know a lot of society was set up was hey i gotta hustle and it's not it's not optional and the reason it's not optional is because if i have a health incident for example my whole life could end as i know it overnight um my wife has had three medical incidents that basically led to about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of debt now she's pretty remarkable and she managed to meet that debt which is fantastic aside from her existing living costs but i know that nearly broke it and i can only imagine if that's what happened for her and she's extremely resourceful what's happening for others and she also told me that you know an la and of course la has its own sort of environment but you know if you don't pay the rent you know you on the right day you've got a sign on the door within 24 hours saying you've got 24 hours to pay your stuffs all you the the locks are changed and your stuff is on the site sidewalk now coming from new zealand where we don't have anything like that and you couldn't do that legally here that just blew my mind and then i suddenly realized wow this is such a high stress environment no wonder people in america are so proactive and hustling so hard you know um because they don't have a choice like they can't kind of go well this isn't really resourceful or good for me right now i'm not feeling like i'm in a good place but you still have to make those choices because if you don't look after this you're not going to get that you know you're not going to get what you're looking for and so again a lot of the stuff drove me to realize that this journey we're on i mean business is just a collection of relationships that to be have an effective relationship with yourself an effective relationship with others you've got to have a deeper connection with yourself a deeper connection with the people you're working with and a deeper understanding of who you really are instead of chasing these ideas i'm going to be a seven-figure xyz it's like for most people their happy money number is nowhere near a million dollars yeah exactly exactly you know i saw a stat the other day and it said um three percent of people in america earn over uh 450 000 so i went so this whole idea of you chasing certain figures you're trying to join the top three percent of your country so if you're feeling like that's a hard road you're right it is a hard road and if you're feeling like you're less than well that's only because you're comparing yourself to the top three percent it's kind of like being a really good student comparing yourself to the elite students and going well i suck because i'm not elite yeah so all of the stuff i find leads to paralysis it leads to learning way more than you needed to it leads to a diy mindset because i don't have any money to actually invest in support and and it and it leads to a lot of cynicism because i never i never actually thought how am i going to implement this post learning i never i never mapped that out and that's a whole other thing for example i'm a creative i don't like doing technical implementation i know it needs to be done but i don't like doing it and what do people do when they procrastinate the truth about procrastination is you procrastinate at things you suck at yeah right yeah you just suck at it you know it drains you you suck at it and you know and then you beat yourself up because you didn't do it well you were never meant to do it but that comes back to this kind of uh conflict well it's easy for you to say justin but i need to make money so if i go and get help i have to invest so where's that money coming from and that's why my methodology is about beliefs form behaviors and behaviors form results yeah because the first thing i've got to address is what how transformative your gift is and how valuable you know what you need is what you can do is and get people to really understand that from a numbers standpoint now that becomes a bit of a sales process um exercise so i mean just to give you an example before we move on from that it's like if i was to say to you if somebody was say had a major health concern or like for example my younger brother uh he'd been obese for maybe 25 years yeah and he's about uh he was about 40 kilos so about 90 pounds heavier than me and the same height and so of course we were all very worried about him and his health now he founded a diet and a regime that worked for him and he had support from my mum for accountability and he lost like say 35 kilos which is a lot of weight yeah and a few but if you were to say to him before that and he said well why would you want to lose weight like let's just say that you lost weight in your ideal situation what's happening how does the world look what what are you hearing what is it what do you feel like you know how are your relationships and you sort of map that out that's actually why he's doing it he's not doing it because his brother or his mother said oh you know it should be good for your health no he's going well i want to have a relationship i want love i want energy i don't want to fall asleep everywhere you know that's the stuff and for a lot of people they actually have these gifts that really create this transformative futures for others but they haven't thought like that they're still in this transactional idea like we were just talking to your um your partner ross about you know about what he does and he said he said his function and and i'm like no and i challenged him because his transformative power was actually energetic not functional and i find that when i reveal that with people their minds go you can see it you can actually see it and you've named it and i'm like yeah i can actually see it and then they feel like oh okay good because i'm so sick of wearing this mask let me put that over there and show up as who i am and again that's why you know i've reached out to you about our future together in terms of partnering in business because as unique and and quirky and rad as you are you know you're giving permission to other people to do that yeah and that's what i'm all about you know everybody on some level thinks they're a bit of a weirdo and you know they're not sure whether it's safe to really show up like that and so i you know that's why i i love your whole steez because you just you know your you know your authentic bravery is just a beautiful thing uh why thank you i mean uh as always uh you know i mean that's that's one of the things that i'm really constantly saying and so many people have you know kind of made a shift lately in uh going from from corporate to uh to entrepreneurship or or contract work or or whatever and there's so many people out there that that don't know yet that the best way through is to be you uh the the best way uh to to to differentiate yourself is you know for me to let my freak flag fly because this is i mean no matter who is talking to me you're gonna get this uh my wife's talking to me she gets this uh you know we're we're doing a show you get this i mean no matter who no matter what i'm always the same human and i refuse to put on the you know put on the polo and you know say this the words that everybody else say you know says to try to get clients i i did that it was very unsuccessful um and so and so yeah um and what what you know what really what really i love about you is you're not afraid to take that sort of uh we'll say kind of a rebellious attitude uh we'll say kind of uh you know uh the establishment really isn't cool actually um you take that that attitude toward helping people do the inner work that's gonna prepare the foundation for some really fantastic results out there most definitely what what you were saying there really relates to one major issue what opens up your energy because if you're acting and that's taxing that's not flow and you're trying to find your flow right you know i'm a generation x poster kid i'm a skater rapper dude you know but have i felt conflicted about showing up as a white guy that does you know black music and is passionate about street culture and all that stuff yeah for sure why because i'm dealing with generally middle-aged middle-of-the-road white men decision makers and and even and and women as well and so you know like they what i find is that when you show up like this they're both inspired and threatened yes and so you need to kind of show them that it's safe uh one of the things that i've discovered is that everybody's driven by safety when i was dealing with billion dollar companies as a sales trainer and various other roles coke and mercedes beans and all sorts of different people one of the things you find about senior management for example is that they're driven by fear yeah like even when you come to them and you say hey i've got this thing that can make you x amount of money the threat that it might not work to their job security is a major reason why they'll make no decision at all and you go wow how how redundant is that like you know you just can't wrap your head around it and then you realize that that's a culture of fear because you know my security needs to be sorted and that's one of the big things that i like to help people do that are making the leap for example from a corporate thing over into our world which requires a lot of bravery is to say you need a bridge don't make a leap make a bridge you know come out develop your thoughts develop your concept tune back into who you really are separate of this identity you've been running with for all these years get clear on that and then make something that expresses that and transforms others and and and even if you want to stay in the corporate world but you're still like well i want to build a digital asset for example because of clearly covert has rocked the whole structure of how of what's reliable um you still need to come with xfactor you can't come here with safety you know and that's why i think a lot of the people that are in our space about business development are talking about the personal journey because how information is everywhere but the transformational interchange work and transformational strategic work that you can do to create radical impact for yourself first because you have to fill your own cup first and then for others um it's there but unless you know it's there or unless you ask the question you'll never find it and and so my thing is to help people really light their fire and show up in their superpower and to claim it like we were saying about your you know your brilliant friend ross before you know like um because most of us don't realize that those things that we've had all our lives are in fact that transformative because we've had them all their lives um so i'm here to show people another way and and to do so in a in a non-reverential manner uh and uh that's one of the that's just one of the things i love well i am certain that people are going to want to contact you and uh and talk to you about the way you shift results so uh what do you have for us do you have a a a secret surprise little gift anything yeah well i have uh a bundle that i have and it's slash socialtap.com cunningham and um so let me see if i can do you want me to put that in the chat or the comments oh yeah please do i would love it i would love it uh because people need to know you uh people need you know it takes it takes a village and uh and out the we know every time we talk when i hear you talking it's it's a message that people need to hear and it's put in a different way you know having the courage to put something in a little bit of a different way uh that's also something i love about my friend justin here uh that he you know he doesn't balk at that uh but this is doing the inner work so that the outer work uh can thrive uh it's absolutely key uh and anybody who tells you that you're just a funnel away uh without doing some of that inner work is uh you know what i mean it's it's actually it's not true for most of us for most of us that is not true uh so uh so yeah my friend um great any pearls of wisdom you have for the audience uh before we uh retreat back into our caves um well look there's some new stuff coming up that i'd like to invite everybody to so ajay and i work on an event called super friends and really it's going to be an edu edutaining type event so i've got some ideas for some entertainment some learning and the elite experts in the field i'm really looking to get the the biggest minds and some of the people making the most impact in the world the people that work with me i call them shift agents and majority of my sort of alliance that's what they are they're creating shift in the world people like paul dunn from buy one give one um that is a an impact that they work on the united nations give back they help small business make um impact around the world uh there's the there's lots of different people that i that i have in mind that i'm reaching out to at the moment so i won't mention all their names in case the calendars conflict but um for anyone that's followed me they know i do a lot of events i know if you followed my shift agent summit last year there was a lot of big people on that event so look out for super friends and also every friday in the us i'm doing a radical result secrets so i'm dropping sort of half an hour a little strategic things that you can do that'll create quick results because again a model about long drawn out painful things about what's the most transformative thing you can do yeah that can give you some evidence that hey we you know i can really kick some butt with this um and and also clearly from a business standpoint i'm trying to show you if this is what i'm giving away imagine what happens when you work with me yeah uh well you know i think i think i think it's been a great show i i really i love hearing you talk about what you're so passionate about and some of the results that you've been able to help people create in their lives not through the normal conventional means uh and i want to thank you for coming on and visiting my audience today uh if you're just tuning in you're gonna want to watch the replay because this was a ridiculously fabulous half an hour uh and uh and yeah with that i think uh i think we've done enough to change the world just for today ah thanks i really appreciate that rj just just a quick reminder too i've noticed that my my older website is on there so the the best website for me is actually i shift results.com so i'll say that again i the letter i shift results.com and uh there you'll find some interviews you'll find some resources some some stuff to help you on your journey and and again the sociotech link that we put up before there's an opportunity to get some resources and there's also an opportunity to have a chat if you know that calls to you um either way it's been a blessing and i really appreciate you giving me this opportunity rj and and i'm looking forward to us creating some uh some magic together oh it's happening it's happening

introduced in the mid-1990s The Predator was a groundbreaking platform but it had its limitations with a need for a more advanced and capable drone general atomic started working on the MQ-9 Reaper in the early 2000s the reaper was designed to address the shortcomings of the predator and it quickly became a force to be reckoned with the MQ-9 Reaper is primarily designed for intelligence surveillance reconnaissance and precision strike missions it is the successor to the mq-1 predator drone featuring a more powerful engine improved avionics and a larger payload capacity let's break down some of the key components of this machine the reaper has a wingspan of 66 feet and a length of 36 feet it's powered by a Honeywell tpe 331 to 10 turboprop engine giving it a maximum speed of around 300 miles per hour and an operational altitude of up to 50 000 feet with an impressive endurance of up to 27 hours the MQ-9 can cover vast distances making it the perfect tool for ISR missions the MQ-9 Reaper can carry a payload of up to 3 800 pounds which includes various sensors cameras and weapons its primary sensor is the multi-spectral targeting system which combines infrared Electro Optical and Laser Imaging to provide real-time high-definition video feeds the reaper is also equipped with synthetic aperture radar which allows it to see through clouds fog and other adverse weather conditions this ensures that it can provide reliable ISR data to ground forces even in challenging environments in addition to its standard sensors the MQ-9 can be equipped with various modular payloads to suit specific Mission requirements some of these optional payloads include signals intelligent systems electronic warfare systems and Maritime surveillance radar as for weapons the MQ-9 can be armed with a variety of missiles and bombs including the agm-114 Hellfire air-to-ground missile gbu-12 Paveway 2 laser-guided bomb and gbu-38 Joint direct attack munition this diverse Arsenal allows the reaper to engage a wide range of targets from vehicles and buildings to enemy combatants the Reaper's combination of advanced sensors and precision weapons has made it an invaluable asset for close air support missions where it can work in tandem with ground forces to neutralize threats and provide real-time intelligence since its introduction in 2007 the MQ-9 Reaper has been deployed in numerous conflict zones playing a critical role in the fight against terrorism and Insurgency some of its most notable missions include operations in Afghanistan Iraq Syria and Yemen in addition to the United States several other countries have also acquired the MQ-9 Reaper for their armed forces such as the United Kingdom France Italy and Spain this widespread adoption highlights the Reaper's Effectiveness and versatility on the modern Battlefield while the MQ-9 Reaper has been an essential tool in the fight against terrorism it has also been the subject of controversies and ethical concerns critics argue that the use of drones for targeted killings blurs the line between Warfare and assassination and raises questions about accountability and transparency moreover civilian casualties have been reported in drone strikes leading to increased scrutiny on their use in Conflict zones these concerns have sparked debates on the development and deployment of autonomous weapon systems and whether human intervention should always be required in the decision-making process despite these concerns the MQ-9 Reaper continues to play a significant role in Modern Warfare and general atomics is working on further improvements to the platform some of the upcoming enhancements include extended range capabilities improved sensor systems and advanced autonomy features these upgrades aim to make the reaper even more effective and versatile in the ever-changing landscape of Modern Warfare one such development is the mq-9b sky Guardian a Next Generation variant of the Reaper with improved endurance increased payload capacity and enhanced safety features the sky Guardian has been designed to meet NATO's stringent airworthiness standards opening up the possibility for it to be used in both military and civilian applications as drone technology continues to evolve so do the potential applications outside of the military sphere in recent years the MQ-9 Reaper has been used for a variety of Civilian and humanitarian purposes such as border patrol disaster relief and Wildfire monitoring by leveraging the Reaper's Advanced sensor systems and long endurance capabilities it can provide valuable information and support during natural disasters or other emergency situations helping save lives and minimize damage	A Short

62HVN-nZH-Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62HVN-nZH-Q	2018 Sir Graham Day Lecture: Human Rights - Gareth Peirce	well good evening and welcome to the Schulich School of Law it's my very great pleasure to welcome you here tonight for the sir Graham day lecture series in ethics morality and the law my name is Jennifer Llewellyn I'm the yoga sink Eddy chair and human rights law at the Schulich School of Law I am NOT a Dean Cameron of the Law School who wishes she was here to welcome you she is thinking about this and regretting not being here from her sickbed this evening so so she sends her her great welcome and regards and she's fortunate because we're recording this this evening for the ideas program so she along with a very large audience are going to be able to also hear the lecture this evening I want to start by acknowledging with gratitude that were assembled here today for this event on the traditional and unseeded nigma territory and I want to tell you a little bit about the lecture series that that we're here today to participate in sir Graham day who is with us this evening sitting at the back is a graduate of this law school the class of my allowed am I allowed to say sir Graham the class of 1956 he was very young he we've just come from a book launch of a book about him the last Canadian night the unintended business adventures of sir Graham day and as unintended as they were there were many of them just a sampling of them he was a chairperson and CEO of British shipbuilders from 1983 to 1986 chairman and CEO of the rover group from 1986 to 91 between 1989 and 93 sir Graham was chairman of Cadbury Schweppes he also served as a chairperson for Sobeys he was knighted hence the last Canadian night in 1989 by queen elizabeth ii for his service to british industry and was inducted into the Canadian business Hall of Fame in 2000 he was appointed as a member of the Order of Nova Scotia in 2011 and the Order of Canada in 2014 and in addition to his extraordinary adventures in business sir Graham has been a longtime friend and supporter of this law school and of Dalhousie University he was Chancellor of the University from 1994 to 2001 and received an honorary degree in 1987 and you should absolutely read a bit more about him in his book because the proceeds of the book go to support a scholarship at this university so we're very fortunate that one of the ways in which he befriends the law school and by extension the community that we're a part of is through this annual event which welcomes distinguished authorities to the law school who deepen our understanding and observation of important societal challenges and think helps us think more deeply about the shifting legal moral and ethical terrain we face in navigating these challenges and this year's lecture is human rights lawyer Garth Pearce who were so very fortunate to have with us and to introduce her it's my pleasure to introduce Mary link who's a producer with our co-hosts for this evening the CBC program ideas this has been a really important partnership with the law school and with this lecture series and so I welcome you Mary had to introduce Garth and this evening's program thank you I'm gonna be very brief so my name is Mary Lincoln I'm a producer with ideas but I get to live in Nova Scotia so I'm very fortunate and very lucky and I'm also really lucky that I convinced Gareth to to come fly all the way from London to give the lecture here and incredibly busy a woman and in demand but usually far too busy in the courts and fighting the good fight to come so we're really lucky to have her here tonight and and then of course it's going to be on ideas I think November 7th so if you do have a cell phone if you could just turn tor not the on silence I'd appreciate that but it's gonna be what we'll do is that will probably do they will have a lecture and I'll do a concept I'll do an interview with Gareth and all interweave it between Adobe for an hour if not - we don't know yet nope or Cara but this has been a really great partnership with with the School of Law and sir Graham day we we our first lecture was with Peter Singer the philosopher about assisted dying and that was just prior to cata passing legislation on medical assisted dying so it was very much in the zeitgeist and then we had Leaguers legal scholar Richard Susskind from Britain talking about technology taking over our jobs from from the industrial jobs also to lawyers jobs and the tsunami effect and that was again very zeitgeist and I find right now and I guess maybe I felt this knee cuz they give me a chance to sort of pick the person and I was sort of looking around the world which is a great thing about ideas of who I want to speak for this year and I just felt this crushing need to have someone talk about democracy some who's who's who's working hard at fixing the wrongs of the miscarriages of justice and for the innocence and Gareth Peirce was sort of my number one choice and I was really fortunate that she said yes to us to come over so Gareth has spent much of the past 40 years fighting to overturn miscarriages of justice to free the wrongly convicted in particular she began well from New York sure Moore's right that's where you that's sort of where you came from once upon a time a few years ago and then at one point went in the 60s she was a journalist in the States and covered Martin Luther King jr. and the civil rights movement and from there went and headed a law degree and she became well known internationally when she represented the the Guildford four and that was a famously depicted in a movie in the name of the Father and Emma Thompson portrayed Gareth but she doesn't like to go on about that too much but it's very Hollywood but still at the same time it was a really important film and that was where a group of young mostly Irish men and women were were arrested and accused of an IRA bombing of a pub tragic and lethal bombing and they were completely innocent and evidence was withheld and 15 years later the gareth is one of the lawyers representing some of the members of the Guildford four including Gerry Colin Colin sorry and who died a few years ago and then from post 9/11 Gareth has been representing another sort of suspect community and that would be members of the Muslim community and represented a lot of people who were detained innocent people and sent in a long sort of torturous route for some from Pakistan to Afghanistan to go out at Guantanamo Bay and and Gareth has represented some members there including Mose M bag sort of famously and so really important work but Gareth also I've read her book and a lot of her writing said she she talks not just about these individual cases but also the the importance of the minority that the the minorities rights are still maintained when the majority are beating their chests sometimes emotionally and that state secrets in the name of national security are something to be very wary of in terms of the erosion of our democracy and that torture even if it's done by another country where evidence is supposedly gained is not moral or legal so there's that sort of some of the ideas that we about that Gareth has talked about and she talks about if we don't if we're not careful about those things I don't want to say too much what you're gonna say but the slippery slope of human rights erosions is leading to what she calls a new Dark Age of injustice which is a pretty profound and disturbing title but yet when you look around the world right now you know that we have to be vigilant and with that I introduce Gareth Peirce good evening for a significant part of all our lives since world war ii the idea of rights has been available to us even in the country in which I live and work which has no comprehensive bill of rights and no written constitution a society that in fact boasts of such and where power is exercised informally in accordance with unwritten conventions serious reflection on the rule of law and respect for human rights occurs erratically and marginally we are in my country effectively constitutionally illiterate my own immense good fortune was two of JumpShip falling out of a society in which there was no such basic education and falling into living and working in a decade of revolution in the USA in the 1960s the social movements founded on the realization of rights and ever after that that it's enabled me to see more clearly my own country to which I returned through different eyes and often with horror that the ignorance and complacency when at the same time there was racism rampant one of our government ministers Enoch Powell at the time talked of the rivers of blood that would be flowing through England as a result of immigrants coming coming to our country and the explicit attempts to articulate and campaign for human rights in the north of Ireland were met with bullets of the British Army and in turn internment arbitrary detention without trial and torture all of that sin now a matter of record and acknowledgement but at the time in the early 1970s in the law school in the United Kingdom and then becoming a lawyer I was in shock the slow-burning realization of the yawning gap there was what's called public Lord ministers of law ability to challenge executive decisions a tiny window of opportunity for what I had thought the law would be a tool a tool to fight against oppression and there was a long possibility of a long slow appeal process to the European Court of Human Rights then occasionally a concept drawn from the 17th century John Lilburn dragged from star chamber saying I will not be mine own executioner I will not give evidence it will be used as evidence against me such reversal as occurred didn't occur through the use of law or a revolutionary social movement in any precise form but unexpectedly in fight back fight back against racism and against the worst of oppressive police practices and so when during the 1970's and early 80's many young people in many urban concentrations fought back against the police and against racist violence they were themselves arrested and charged is the perpetrator perpetrators of crime and charged with riot or with conspiracy to cause explosions two young men who had petrol bombs milk bottles stuffed with racks to throw against fascists who were coming to their northern town they were charged as the criminals but the reversal of comprehension came when jurors acquitted them all acquitted them all in turn when they articulated the confidence that in the first of the trials had come from the Black Power movement in the UK to be able to say with confidence yes we did we did fight back we did articulate what was wrong loudly fiercely naming names we did fight with violence when we had to when the police came with our jackboots into the black community in st. Pauls in bristol we fought back and they were acquitted we had to classical defense of self-defense available anywhere everywhere in the world to use proportionate violence if it's necessary and if there is no other way and the shock of those unexpected acquittals by juries and defendants insisted that the jurors had to be representative of the communities from which they came they had to be ethnically diverse they had to be than assisted on it in turn the shock checked racist attacks checked the worst of the police violence and oppression for a while checked it caused society to think the second unexpected way of reversing the country that was regardless of rights in fundamental ways a second reversal came from the appreciation knowledge meant grudgingly not willingly that dozens of individuals have been buried alive in British prisons completely innocent not just for a short time 15 16 18 years many of them Irish triggered an acute realisation is like a seismic shock in society but what it had taken was not precisely the workings of rights entrenched in law it was investigation yes but it was political activism it was pressure acutely important pressure internationally until the politicians who at the time had the power eventually to reopen cases of wrongful convictions capitulated not previously articulated in the language of Rights but acknowledged that best to accept it in a way but don't analyze it is representing anything other than something that happened in the past is this was the reaction on the whole and adding a few more protections but what the state gave with one hand it would take away with another so the phenomenom of coerced confessions with appropriate after that thought appropriate to have lawyers representing and advising in police stations yes but in exchange to balance to balance and write should not be balanced but to balance take away the right to silence and warn the suspect that if you say nothing now ultimately a jury can be told that they can draw an inference of your guilt because you've said nothing now at the moment of arrest a different kind of coercion and juries those magnificent juries that had stood up to be counted and acquitted in fact in the trial of the Bristol young man who had rioted and who had said we had to we had to because of what the police did to us one lawyer his family had come from the Caribbean said to the jury if you go down to the cellars underneath these courts you will see chuckles were your ancestors and mine were transported to the West Indies this is your moment to stand up and be counted soon after the right to a jury challenge was first diminished and then taken away completely and from then on and now the first 12 people who sit down in the jury regardless of whether they represent your peers of the jury will decide your fate the shifts in these decades in the late 80s and early 90s coincided with an incoming new government which was committed in opposition to bringing in a human rights act which meant on the cusp of the new century the 21st century for the first time in our country lawyers and judges had to train in the concepts language of human rights it had never been part before of any legal training however reluctantly on the part of the government or the institutions of this state this was revolutionary in a way or deemed to be and for the first time we began to think of rights had to think of rights and at the same time in the north of Ireland was the Good Friday Agreement an acknowledgment that if there was to be a future new society it was a society that had to be sure and confident that it would never again a huge part of that society be a different kind of citizen than the other half but two years in to the coming in of the Human Rights Act to the new century came the devastating chain reactions to the devastating events of 9/11 and from that moment whatever we had learned or relearned we now found out again how fragile the protections for human rights in reality were I have to tell you what our prime minister did and achieved Tony Blair four days after 9/11 his a record of having discussed the need for changes to human rights law and civil liberties Blair said from this point on it seemed to me the balance of civil liberties between protecting the rights of the suspect and protecting the rights of the citizens had changed asserting that our values versus theirs justified full-scale war he overlooked the possibility that what governments themselves might do might equally be unlawful but in the face of which there could be no legal sanction but based on his claim as to who the suspects might be beyond a handful of men already identified as the perpetrators plus a summa bin Laden who were the citizens he was talking about who were deserving of rights and who were the persons all over the world who were to be eliminated he talked about a virus that needs elimination eradication and this is how he formulated the future he said he'd seen different countries in this way until September 11 but after that the splashes of color on different parts of the canvas did not appear to the eye is a single picture after the clarity was plain vivid and defining Kashmir Chechnya Algeria Yemen Palestine Lebanon what were these splashes of color the infinitely varied movements of political Islam which he saw as a virus to be eliminated he third there were countries in the Arab and Muslim world that will offer their people a choice between a ruling elite with the right idea and a popular movement with the wrong one this was the view in which he took our country into an understanding of what the rights should be he said it requires a whole new geopolitical framework and a myriad of interventions in deep into the affairs of other nations above all a willingness to see the battle as existential and to see it through it was that combination of stupidity and recklessness that defined the years that were to come and the concept of human rights all the lessons from Northern Ireland the years of conflict and the pain and suffering and the resolution in the end to the Good Friday Agreement were thrown away including forgetting the most basic maxim that every state action produces a reaction and there was a reliance came to be a reliance on the concept exceptionalism an exclusion to make a political point for a handful of accused men or Muslim once again internment indefinite detention was introduced indefinite detention without trial not told the evidence and secret courts it was a three pitched battle until in the end what was a time a Supreme Court the House of Lords stated what we have to fear is not terrorism but laws like these and during that course of battle in the occasional point in a secret court in which representing an accused person who didn't know the evidence against him you could ask a question of a security Service agent behind the curtain witness a or B was the opportunity to ask the odd question and so the question would you use evidence that came from torture produced the answer yes the only question is what wait to give it to the next legal battle through the courts another three years with the government lawyers arguing it was appropriate and right and emanated from precepts incredibly important in our legal history that we should use evidence from torture if we don't remember history it's as if we were born yesterday there was to be a reversal of sorts and that reversal came as a result of two things there were 15 British residents and British citizens kidnapped by the US and rendered to Guantanamo Bay and in the battle to get them back legal battle and eventually to sue for compensation for damage for complicity by the British in rendition and torture there was a grudging amount of disclosure and embedded in the cabinet minutes every minister of the time the Prime Minister the Home Secretary the Foreign Secretary the record of what they said the longer they stay in Guantanamo the better I'm in no rush to get them back to a man and a woman at the same time as saying publicly we deplore Guantanamo we never miss an opportunity to raise the issue with the United States nothing to do with us first of all was the discovery that it had been condoned at government level but then later that worse was to come at the same time Iraq invaded on falsified intelligence and now tens of millions of Iraqis dead and tens more millions of Iraqis displaced us within our borders we have created a new suspect community the country of the hunters and the hunted and so for Muslims in our country began to ask then was it like this for the Irish but as national discomfort an embarrassment gave way to a reversal for the Guantanamo men who had finally come back as the revelations became greater there was a settlement and an apology of sorts and the Arab Spring in Libya the uprisings against the Gaddafi regime produced the liberation of the government offices and documents in Tripoli there was even harder evidence of the interaction between the British state and Libyan torturers the most dramatic of which was a telegram from the head of mi6 intelligence service that works abroad outside the UK head of mi6 the Libyan intelligence planning for the rendition the leader of an Islamic group who was seized with his wife on a plane diverted as he was travelling to seek asylum in Britain diverted to Libya to be tortured and fed questions it's all on the record all the documents we have to be fed questions on behalf of the British so the head of mi5 said I know we didn't pay for the transport that we helped and we would be very grateful for the product the product of torture product of torture interrogation this might have been a reversal that led to a brave new world but now since the Syrian conflict has continued and the most flagrant excesses of all active state and non-state have been over shadowed over whelmed in our consciousness by the deliberate in cultivated brutalities of Isis and some time ago because of that Britain slid back again into the worst of its betrayals of human rights for Muslims now in Britain it's as if your community and only your community has fallen into an abyss just as post 9/11 internet every internationally guaranteed protection showed it could be jettisoned and to reclaim took years and accidents of Revelation and state criminality now there is a new acceleration and all on the grounds of claimed national security we have internal exile men and women can be removed from their homes and made to live somewhere else in the country where they know no one on secret evidence again control on who you meet and how much money you can have in your pocket stripping of passports and stripping of British nationality again on secret evidence question of taking away your citizenship once upon a time extraordinarily rare only for traitors at worst now is a galloping new exercise and if you have your nationality stripped it leads immediately to your being classified as a foreign national and deportation to a country where you may be deemed to have potential citizenship and if that means citizenship derived through your father your mother your grandfather your grandmother it's a potential that affects a significant part of our Muslim community in his country but even more a central concern is a program called prevent a theory about Muslim beliefs and behavior based on no verifiable data and a history from neoconservative origins neo orientalist idea of Islam that political Islam is not the real Islam in any aspect of political dimension is a deviation and is terrorism a conveyor belt theory and the definition of extremism used daily is totally political talks of British values having or not having British values doesn't even talk anymore about criminality and it effects the ability to have a bank it affects schools it affects charities it affects mosques it affects students it affects children creates the antithesis of a school environment schools should be safe places to share ID interrupts with family courts with wardship with children taken into care as absolutely no doubt as a whole the Muslim as a community is affected parents are frightened of what their children might say even in a kindergarten there's not a jot of protection even infants are interviewed without their parents knowing children pulled out of class it's your duty if you're a university a school a teacher a doctor a social worker if you deem there is any whisker of what you think is radicalization according to a checkbox it's your duty to report it to the police an intervention of lawyers is seen as evidence of a resistant attitude question how can this be if there is a concept of human rights how can this be the answer is that we need to appreciate the weaknesses of the extraordinary world treaties the end of World War two the huge challenges today to the preservation of human rights don't come out of the blue they come out of a result of systemic weaknesses in those extraordinary magnificent treaties the UN Charter all the declarations of human rights there were extraordinary documents but with fatal weaknesses the United Nations is United Nations as opposed to United peoples and it accepted a concept of national sovereignty the countries to police themselves not the idea that came out of world war two that we would all please each other countries to please themselves and no sanctions and no enforcement mechanisms and into this we fed from the Western world other residuals assumptions colonialist thinking the fundamental questions to be decided by society is that right the question of who is a human and what our rights it's essential to understand that the history of human rights is always accommodated concept of exclusion wrongly and without justification what Tony Blair called exceptionalism who could who could benefit and who could not just as in US history at the time of the Declaration of Independence all men are created equal from their Creator inalienable rights at the same time as the signers were slave owners in built-in nation-states today still do you regard themselves as having the freedom to determine who is entitled and one observes the new movement yet again of the way government's forms concepts for themselves and effectively monopolize the decision-making as to who is a human and who deserves rights in our country amongst the floors is a never-ending appetite for secrecy in a sense of entitlement that pervades English culture and as a circularity with secrecy if the nation is your protector James itself to be your protector then it deserves deference on your behalf it has to have secrets and you were not to know if the claim is National Security Human Rights came to be has come to be about power exercise of power and now each unshackling from restraint for the state normalizes the inequality in the disruptions human rights for every human being it liberates confidence by the governments to articulate first covertly and then openly what would have been considered heresy or blasphemy not so long ago so we and UK have moved now towards the government speaking out against preservation of human rights feels it can speak against the preservation of human rights leaving the European Court of Human Rights that's on the political agenda and creating deliberately excluded parts of society referring to a hostile environment the individual for immigrants and for foreigners even some retired senior judges who never liked the way in which the European Court of Human Rights could lay down decisions that should have been adopted in English law criticized to her adherence to that European jurisdiction as a pressure of concepts false concepts it's emotional pressure talking about national sovereignty national integrity patriotism and one can observe what the idea of terrorism does to the concept of human rights question of exclusion for all Muslims are deemed to be part of the human community but as some kill the state can take exceptional steps against all is precisely repeating precisely the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland each breathtaking departure demands a response from society at large national and international - in recent weeks in the UK exposed one the hostile environment for foreigners immigrants through up the horrific fact that a generation known as the Windrush generation who came from the Caribbean which is Commonwealth entitled to be British came after the world war to build create the National Health Service to build create the railways to build create work to give our country an infrastructure alive it's been found that not just dozens but hundreds have been excluded from that entitlement a grandparent who's gone home to Jamaica unable to come back never see their family again because somehow it's been said you didn't have the right papers you didn't actually ever literally quite become a British citizen despite the fact you worked in a hospital in South London for 40 years you're an illegal immigrant you can't come back people dying people homeless living in poverty because they're excluded from benefits that is shame shaming to our government and there is a slight reaction a shame but not a reversal of the withdrawal of a concept of Rights not the reverse of that saying we had no business excluding human beings creating a hostile environment and now last last example a secret letter from our Home Secretary to the US Attorney General was leaked and a legal challenge has shown the vise again of exceptionalism Tony Blair ago unprecedented crimes deserving exceptional measures and we have agreed that we will give evidence obtained by British police to American prosecutors so that the two men who were held elsewhere in the world can be prosecuted on British evidence and be sentenced to death it's a total reversal of our international commitments of policy of practice our pride in saying we Britain above all for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide we will lobby any government we will do anything to save people from death and here this is what we've done and in our courts two weeks ago government lawyers for arguing this was right we had to do it it required deference to the executive because they know about our national security and explicitly what was said was that it was a telegram disclosed in the court proceedings from the UK ambassador in Washington it said senior members of the Trump administration will be incandescent with rage if we were to refuse to give our evidence and require an assurance there will be no death penalty income doesn't with rage and Trump will bear a grudge that was the reason that's the reason that we've done it Trump will bear a grudge and we have to have deference to Foreign Relations even though Trump at the beginning of his administration declared a war on the concept of human rights that's how vulnerable human rights in our country are I'm quite sure they're not vulnerable in the same way in yours and I apologize because this is all I have to bring to the table but we're now as an activist in the u.s. civil rights movement in the sixties Howard Zinn who said you can't be neutral on the moving train histories like the moving train you can't ride the train and then say you've no idea how you arrived at your destination you're either on board or not you can't be neutral and short we can take sides and we're proud of it so don't believe it's possible to be neutral the world's already moving in certain directions to be neutral to be passive in a situation like that to collaborate with what's going on so my message for this evening which I'm sure you don't need and I apologize bringing my woes to you is we should not be collaborators that's it [Applause] [Music] we're gonna actually ask for questions of anybody has any questions for Gareth if they want to come up there's a mic here and a mic there and and she's more than willing to ask to answer any questions would anybody have any questions for Gareth hi um thank you for your presentation and for sharing I've lived in this country for about 30 years and the things that you're describing of what was happening in England or what is happening in England is happening here so it's I'm adding to your gloom I guess um we experience in these things and strangely enough it seems like not enough people are concerned so I'm wondering if you have any suggestions of about raising the consciousness of the of the population because the abuses that have been accepted especially racialized violence in this city for example black people to three times as likely to be stopped by the police and it's a violation of Canadian human rights law and yet the Chief of Police says it's necessary and they need to do it and they believe that it's good policing they don't have any facts to back that but it's just a belief and the the relative silence from the population on that is is outstanding so I'm just wondering if you have any [Laughter] I I would really welcome other people here saying what what is done what is done what is the fight back what are the avenues there's a Constitution doesn't work why doesn't it work there are lawyers here law professors come on you can't be silent as being complicit I mean I think some of the comments that you've made ring true here as well and and especially in terms of the ways in which I think we've taken for granted the rule of law and the sort of level of comfort and the stories we tell ourselves about being Canadian and I think that complacency keeps us from seeing and hearing the stories as more than individual instance stories but for their systemic and structural nature that this is becoming part of and has been for a long time part of the structures that we're not bringing law to bear on we're not bringing human rights to bear on and I think this may be adding to gloom and woe as well and maybe feeds into a question back for you I mean I think part of what's beginning to happen in the rights revolution is that rights are being seen as rights of individuals in a way that focuses on individual harms individual rights individual disputes so it's harder to see the forest for our focus on the trees while we while we talk about the harm to individual victims we in some ways obscure that that that's not a unique experience right and so my question back to you in terms of the advocacy you do for those who are wrongfully convicted for those who are evidence to us of what of where we have failures of Human Rights is how do we at the same time not let that become stories of individual sort of human human tragedy and redemption and fighting for those individual cases and see that bigger picture see exactly the question he's asking showing the light of human rights through those cases on that larger structural systemic all of the issues you've talked to us about tonight is there attention there in the ways in which our mechanisms focus on individuals and then our human rights are beginning to do so too that doesn't let us see that kind of structural story that isn't that is a story of systemic racism in this province that is absolutely a story of those systems does does that mean in Canada the society regards in in the formulation I've I've suggested does it mean Canada as a nation or Canada cities within Canada treat some people as human with rights and some people not is is that an what what litigation if if this is right what work what work is done what compiling of testimonies what collection of cases what class actions what naming and shaming of those who responsible what part of that goes on in any fight back so I think there's fo we have a very strong fight back in in terms of civil society and cultures and and black lives matter movements as one example in terms of race I think some of the question that we start to ask and I'd invite others than to think about where that fight back is in our is in both at the community level but in terms of the legal structure some of that fight back is starting interestingly enough I think through the use of tort litigation and class-action claims so the movement on reconciliation and residential schools actually emerged out of being able to utilize those tools not of criminal justice or of the formal Human Rights tools but of civil claims and class action civil cain't claims to recognize those systemic human rights issues the same was true in this province for a response to systemic racism in the form of abuse experienced over generations in the home for colored children and that that resulted in finally at least the beginning acknowledgment from this province of our history and our current state of systemic racism and the province so those are moments of push back and push back through legal mechanisms but I think they've all emerged out of a pushback at a much more ground level first so thank you so on what prop Welland was saying you spoke about these waves and counter waves of human rights since World War two and it seems to me that that given your presentation that this is largely at the hands of politicians of powerful people who decide who gets rights and who don't in society what I'm wondering is in your view what you think the law the role of lawyers are in tempering those waves in those counter waves and and maybe even providing some stability and coherence in this rights culture that we've come to accept as something that's that's just around all of us I think it's extremely difficult as one of the phenomena I was suggesting is when the moment comes that it's more embarrassing not to recognize it's more uncomfortable not to acknowledge that that's the moment but in until that wonkin politics is politics politicians or politicians we live in a country that's largely politically apathetic but the the worst of the the worst of the temptations and opportunities comes from the observing by a politician or someone with authority to speak and be listened to that what they say is tapping a particular nerve and that particular nerve is on the edge of something prohibited or should be prohibited like racism but yet it AG is closer and closer to it now we we have just had our having will have the most horrific pandering to the worst of our psyche nationally in terms of immigration and in insanely has led to a vote to leave Europe he tempering modifying elements in our national progression towards a future and maturity that shamelessly tucked into xenophobic hatred of the other the other being anyone who wasn't flying a Union Jack basically and I think probably like Trump you know the moment you get that field that yes you're mining gold with that rhetoric it becomes extraordinarily difficult to block it unless you have such a rigid set of moral values in place and legal values that you can say you can't do that you can't do that freedom of speech yes but you can't vilify and create as we've done a whole suspect community in which it's just about acceptable now to say just about anything about Muslims in our country and so how to stop it I think I think actually the answer comes back to to participation you know what Howard Zinn said we're on a moving train and it's no good finding were there if we could have done something to stop it no you know a few people sitting in a room on a Friday night isn't a revolution acknowledge that but I guess we all have a we all have a duty and some people are I'll give them more ability than others some people have more significant voices than others and but a mouse movement is a mass movement and they ain't like nothing else it works I'll ask you some simplistic questions and what what what keeps you up at night these days what worries you the most we're all sort of fretting about the rise of populism and we're fretting about this rhetoric what we talk about what's happening in Canada now we're seeing it amongst some politicians and a lot of the anti-immigrant talk Andy sex-education talking in in Ontario what what worries you the most right now I mean does it worry you that the legal system will start to falter that well it won't be there or what what concerns you or some of the key concerns in terms of keeping our democracy strong I think if you Lou you try to be a lawyer and what you do is impossible want to do is impossible that just kills you but yeah actually the impossible isn't impossible and you just never know you never know where you push your your pool or who you talk to just something she'd work but if you can't do it it isn't it's killing you but what about the person you're representing it can be life life or death for them so you you ought to be where goodnight honestly thank you very much for coming on a Friday night and and and hearing Gareth and as I say I'll gonna sit down and talk to her and then on November 7th you'll hear a more curated event Oh I so Garrett it's my pleasure to get to say thank you to you once more and to add my thanks to to yours I mean what you've shared with us tonight and the clarion call that we should be hearing I think is something that maybe we're all too familiar with but try to hope will go away with the next election down south or one more one more move and a better better result here which is how fragile the rule of law is how much it requires if we're going to secure human rights our vigilance not our complacency not our collaboration as it moves on and so I know that you don't enjoy people paying attention to your role in your work in this because as you've just said to us it's there's much more at stake for many other people and that deserves the attention but paying attention to your story and hearing you and having you with us reminds us all of the kind of inspiration and modeling we should draw from the fact that you stay up at night about these issues and that you're calling us to think about at least doing even a portion of what you do to be advancing human rights and so we're very grateful for the work you do and for having traveled here to be with us tonight oh great and we hear you have a little bit of the weekend to see a bit so thank you all for coming [Applause]	Schulich Law	UCfCwwWmb3DEMDDfMvraJNzg	2018-11-01	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

7CX-pZRhbtI	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CX-pZRhbtI	Pro-ject Stream Box S2 Ultra network bridge/streamer/purifier	Pro-ject is known for their affordable, great turntables and some time back I reviewed the fine Pro Box S2 Digital DAC and preamp. From the same designer now the Stream Box S2 Ultra. A very small streamer that in my memory will live on as Giant Little Dwarf. Pro-ject has a large collection of small devices, ranging from RIAA pre-pre’s, bluetooth receiver, DAC’s and a cd-player that is twice as wide to fit a cd transport. The Stream Box S2 Ultra measures only 103 by 115 by 37 mm. The front holds a power button, a power LED, a LED that indicates the unit is ready for network use, the USB slash PC button - on this preliminary sample called Bypass - that lets you select input directly from a PC, a LED to indicate this function is enabled and a USB 2 port for connecting a storage device. On the rear a micro USB port for connecting the PC directly. When this function is used the USB signal from the PC is cleaned up and sent to the DAC connected to the DAC USB output. Next to it the arial for Bluetooth and Wifi, the 18 volts DC input to connect the supplied wall wart switch mode power supply to, an HDMI output to connect to an AV receiver or optionally connect a display to, the 100 Kbit ethernet port, a second USB port for connecting a storage device and a specially configured USB port for connecting your DAC to. A small button labeled ‘Boot” enables experienced users to install alternative firmware. My suggestion is to not use this button unless you are absolutely sure what you’re doing. Like the Pro Box S2 Digital DAC, this device is designed by John Westlake. The man has an impressive track record and when I spoke to him during the High End Munich 2018 show, it became rather clear why. The man is passionate about sound quality and knows how to translate that passion into very good sounding equipment. That’s what you see when you open the Stream Box. It is based on an industrial version of the Raspberry Pi, the CM3L, that is mounted using an edge connector as used for PC memory cards. This version doesn’t hold interfacing and storage memory. The network is connected over an Ethernet connector with integrated transformers for galvanic separation and an SMSC ethernet receiver chip does the 100 base ethernet and - I gather - the PC USB interfacing. A fully shielded radio module takes care of Bluetooth and Wifi. Then we get to the power regulators. I think this is one power regulator while here three step-down regulators are mounted. This is one of the things Westlake stressed when I spoke to him: provide independent stable voltages to the different circuits. I guess - although I am not sure, that this is the USB interfacing for the storage media while this part is a completely separate USB channel for the DAC using a USB hub chip that is externally clocked by this crystal. When you first use the Stream Box and type the IP address your router gave to the Stream Box into your browser, it automatically starts the setup wizard. First you select your language, a large number of languages is supported, as you can see. It then asks you to give a name to the Stream Box to identify it on the network. The suggested name is far too long, I changed it to Streambox. This way, the next time you want to log in you simply type streambox.local in the address bar of your browser. The third step is to set you DAC as output. For this video I used a Meridian Explorer² and that was the only DAC I could choose. Then you could connect the Stream Box to your Wifi network. As you can see the Wifi space is rather crowded where I live so I rather use an Ethernet cable. The last thing to do is to either add a USB drive containing music, like I did or point the Stream Box to your network volume that contains the music, like the Rock server I use as Music server. The basic settings are done now, time for some fine tuning. To change some more settings I click the cog in the top right corner and select ‘My Music’. Here we see the number of albums that are already indexed. Since this takes a lot of resources, I have paused it here to let it continue indexing later. I have no network drives active and since I don’t have a Spotify account, I leave that blank. I do have a Tidal account so I enter my user name and password. The only thing to change here might be to activate Roon Ready when you are a Roon user. In playback options you might change the DSD setting, depending on your DAC. I would leave the rest as it is unless you want to use volume control. Settings depend on the DAC used. The same goes for resampling. If your DAC isn’t the best you might switch upsampling on in the Stream Box. The next step is to set the appearance. You can choose for a background showing a Pro-ject turntable but I prefer this light green option. The next menu shows the network settings. As you can see the Stream Box is wired into my network but also started a wifi hotspot so guests can easily login to play music. A user interface automatically pops up. If you don’t want that or want to password protect the hotspot, this is the place to go. The remaining menu options are not of importance but it doesn’t hurt to browse through them if you have obtained a unit. Using the Stream Box is a breeze. Simply connect your DAC to the designated USB port and check in the Playback Options menu if your DAC is selected as Output Device. You could also use the HDMI as digital output. Pro-ject chose the OEM version of Volumio as player software, which makes sense. The shareware version is already used - and thus beta tested - by countless users all over the world since 2013. Operating the Stream Box as a streamer is done in a browser on a smartphone, tablet or computer or using an app on smartphone or tablet. The browser interface has three screens, Browse, Playback and Queue, selected by tabs along the bottom of the screen. Select music library to go to your own music. The choices here are clear, perhaps with the exception of Media Servers and USB. Media Servers lets you browse and play from shared volumes on a computer or NAS and USB does the same for the USB drive. This is handy if you know the place of of files on the hard disk but not the correct name. As you can see, scrolling through albums is quick enough. From there you can easily play the album or ad it to the queue or a playlist. Clicking the name brings you to the individual tracks of that album and again you can easily play the track or ad it to the queue or a playlist. If you then go to the Playback screen, you see left the track progress with below it three icons. The hart to mark that track as favourite, the plus sign to add it to a playlist and a menu to go directly to the album or the artist. In the middle the three transport buttons, the album name, track name and artist with below it the cover art. On the right side the volume control and mute. The Queue screen lists the playback queue and here you can set shuffle play and repeat, save the queue to a playlist and clear the queue. The Stream Box S2 Ultra plays anything up to 384 kHz 32 bit and DSD 256. Your DAC has to support these too, of course Internet radio is well supported by Shoutcast and Dribble. Radio stations can be added to your favourite radios and you can search by country and by genre. Playing music from your smartphone using Bluetooth is a matter of selecting the Bluetooth logo and pairing your smartphone. The same goes for Airplay, here called Sharepoint-sync. The USB/PC button does the same as the push button on the front. If you have entered your Spotify account, a button will appear here as is the case with Tidal. When you select Tidal, the obvious menus are shown. And the last option is Roon. There is no button for it since it will automatically switch over, provided you enabled Roon Ready in the My Music menu. In all cases the Playback screen shows the music source plus metadata. Even when playing from Roon the track progress and the volume control work. I did have high expectations given the approach of John Westlake but my expectations were not entirely correct. How shall I say this? This is the best streamer I had on review so far with the exception the SOtM sMS-200Ultra Neo. Using the supplied switch mode wall wart power supply it did about 75% of the quality of the sMS-200Ultra Neo with sBooster MK II power supply. Please do realise that this combo costs over two times the price of the Stream Box!! Remarkably adding the 18 volts DC sBooster linear power supply - not the MK II version - brought it up to 80% of the SOtM quality. An improvement for sure but not as much as I usually experience. This must be due to the elaborate power circuits inside the Stream Box. Up till now I compared the Stream Box playing by itself versus the SOtM playing as Roon endpoint. Driving the Stream Box from Roon too gave another 5% increase in sound quality, making it score only 15% below the SOtM. This is an extremely good streamer and Roon Ready renderer, given its price. Slightly less sibilance control, only slightly less, somewhat less deep lows and a little less overall resolution. But it is clearly better than the original sMS-200 - without the ultra addition. This is a product that I easily allow in my 20k Euro setup 1. Man, this was a surprise, I didn’t see this coming. Giant little dwarf, this is the association that came up during one of the listening sessions. It looks like a 300 euro mid-fi gadget. But, don’t be fooled, this really is a network bridge of very high quality that is only a nose length behind the sMS-200 Ultra Neo. The Dutch retail price is 779 Euros but prices differ per country. It is a good solution for those fathers that have children that want Spotify. Dad can play from Tidal while the children play Spotify over the same system. And if dad is in for Roon, right away or later on, that’s gonna work too. These are the products I keep looking for since they make me very happy. So please keep sending suggestions, I can’t always answer them but I do read them all. And if you are interested in more of these reviews, subscribe to this channel, or follow me on social media.

start with item five resolution support of immediate action to solve the black maternal health crisis and that was pulled by council member freeman thank you i struggled with whether to make an announcement or to pull it because i just wanted to note just how important it was um acknowledging that we've passed the omnibus resolution and just and the state delegation has been moving forward to support the uh filing in the house and the senate and i just wanted to make sure that we thank the leadership of senator natalie murdoch and representative candy smith for leading in that effort and just note that the the bill has been filed in both the house and the senate and it's now up to us to make sure that the legislature moves forward and support and so i think it's important to make sure we announce as loudly as possible that uh you know black women are it's facing high disparities in maternal health and it's important that we we actually address it in a health and wellness for our state and so for north carolina i mean there's so much more we could be doing like expanding medicaid and so i just wanted to make sure that i noted that and i wanted to thank mayor pro tem johnson for bringing this forward because action is necessary and action means dollars thank you thank you very much councilmember freelon and then mayor pro tem johnson yes i just wanted to echo my colleague councilmember freeman's um comments but also mention joy spencer as well the executive director of equity before birth she gave a presentation at the human relations commission meeting on tuesday that was really just riveting the amount of work and funding she's been able to raise and organizing she's been able to do just in a few months this year so just wanted to shout her out in addition to senators murdoch thank you yes then also i almost forgot sorry the mayor's committee uh the women's committee um that's been working hard to pull this all together i know they drafted this this document and the mayor pro team is bringing it forward so yes and i believe joyce spencer is on that committee so yes thank you thank you for making sure we don't forget joy spencer thank you madam mayor project thanks y'all yeah i just also just wanted to shout out the mayor's council for women who are the folks who brought this issue um to us and wrote the resolution and asked us to um to support it so yeah i'm glad that we're all excited about this issue moving forward at the legislature and those efforts and i think joy might be a member of the counties women's commission they also have one and they've been working together a lot more lately which is really um also really really great to see so thanks for your support y'all and i'll make sure to communicate back to the women's council appreciation for their work thank you madam mayor pro tem thank you colleagues before we move to the next item i realize i was looking um at the chat uh madam clerk is there someone

emerson is here to speak for the mayor's hispanic latino committee and their report that's in the packet today as well as italo who is also a member of that committee okay i did not realize that i did not have that information but i'm glad to have it now let me just ask madam clerk well we're going to colleagues with your permission we're going to go back and hear from these two residents our chair and our vice chair of the mayor's hispanic latino community committee i see madam clark i see you've made them available to speak and we'll start with our chair morales mercado emerson and can we also make her available to be seen madam clerk there she is great miss mercado emerson um we would love to hear a few words from you about your annual report good afternoon um sorry one second we had dogs and everybody else making a ruckus here no worries so this year we've had the opportunity in the last year to share with the durham community the um the accomplishments of the mayor's hispanic latino committee and in that that includes being able to do outreach with within the community in respect to covet efforts at the beginning of the pandemic we sent we send information to city council to you mayor schultz we've had an amazing conversation on um amazing conversation and many of the things that we discussed in our letter to you were actually implemented by durham county and so we wanted to thank you and city council for the things that have been put into place including translation services interpretation services for our phone calls and assisting us with getting the message out to the latin a durham community about not just kobe but other issues that are happening in the community and resources that are available to them so that they can progress to healthier better individuals living here as durham residents so currently we are in the process of for 2021 each month has been themed out and we have dedicated each month to bringing in organizations to to talk to us to see how we can better get the word out to the latinx community most recently working with nami on mental health issues that are really prevalent in the latina community and the african-american community here in durham and so our committee is going to be trained on mental health first aid and other things that that will be able to assist us in progressing messages regarding mental health services here in durham in the city of durham um we will continue our cove in our cover our covet efforts and they're now being moved towards encouraging people to get vaccinated and we have members not just from our committee but also from organizations in durham that are assisting us in being able to do that many of our members are also part of the latin 19 committee that is established here in durham through members from duke university and local organizations here and our members have also been a part of the immigrant and refugee committee as well and so we're highly involved our members go to different meetings and hopefully represent the city of durham as the city council would want us to but we would like also to we've unfortunately lost three members because life happens and so we would really like to fill those positions so that we can continue our work at full capacity ms mercado emerson thank you for that report and i apologize for overlooking you i'm glad you hung around and that i spotted this in the chat and thank you to the clerk uh and uh that's a great report and i have been able to fortunate to attend your your your initial meeting and then have this other conversation and gratitude also to council member caballero who's been a real uh champion of your committee i wondered if uh if uh italo medalist also would like to say a few words he's the vice chancellor under the weather okay all right i can definitely say excellent there we go so i apologize for the voice everybody i am getting over we can't hear you now we've lost him for the moment am i back mr mayor you are back wonderful let me turn on my camera there we go um so as you can see i'm a little disheveled but so um yeah as i was saying before my voice is a little shot i am getting over coveted um but thank you so so much mr mayor and council members for first of all starting this this committee um it's so important to be able to have voices uh in a democratic space uh representing the latino community uh specifically in durham uh i think we really are paving the way forward on ways to make sure that we can democratize our municipal governments and uh raleigh started a an immigrant committee as well and you know we've we've connected with them as well to see how we can start working together uh in a joint way um we've uh to to add to what uh chairman of emerson was saying we also have been meeting with a lot of statewide uh folks so we met with uh the association of mexicans of north carolina we met with the farm labor organizing committee to show our solidarity with other latino folks all over the state because we understand that these committees are very uh few and far between and durham and raleigh are one of some of the few spaces that allow democratic latino voices to be able to democratically access uh the mayor and the city council so we've been speaking with a lot of uh a lot of organizations across the state uh and in durham to see how we can elevate the voices of the latino community and as chairman kyle emerson uh was saying we did form a covert 19 task force early and it really showed how we were able to bring voices not just from our committee but from the community as a whole to come meet with us and come tell us what it is that the community needs and we were able to respond to those uh needs as necessary we created a pamphlet with economic resources and housing resources financial resources all kinds of city resources in spanish and in english um in a way that the terminology is uh uh everyday terminology that everybody can understand so uh we i personally i very much have enjoyed serving this uh the city and the committee as through the mayor's hispanic latino committee and last thing i have to thank uh council member caballero who has been i mean a gem to the latino community and uh she has been a fighter in uh for us in every step of the way and uh i very much look forward to keep working with her and with all of you so thank you very much thank you very much mr medalist and to our leadership i'm so appreciative of the great job you all are doing and i see councilmember cabrillo would like to say a word as well just really briefly i just want to extend um such deep gratitude for mareliz and italo um some context this committee met one time before covet hit in person uh and they pivoted exceptionally quickly and have done an incredible job and have just been wonderful leaders i was on a panel around uh vaccination and coveted equity efforts last week with marelize she's a champion and um italo is also well represented without the throughout the community and just again so much gratitude we have come a long way uh in how we advocate and are represented a lot of work still to do but thank you so much for your service and to all the committee members thank you very much council member and uh mr madalias we very much hope that your recovery goes swiftly we're not entirely shoveled either on this city council and so we're we're good with that thank you so much we appreciate you being here thank you uh we will now move to our next item which is item 11 municipal agreement with north carolina department of transportation for r kelly bryant junior bridge and this was called pulled by councilmember middleton house member thank you mr mayor good afternoon sir good afternoon mayor pro tem and colleagues and everyone who's watching this afternoon mr if i might just take a quick point of personal privilege i just want to celebrate the incredible art of progress and impact that the mayor's hispanic and latino committee has had on the city one of my first assignments when i got elected was to to be the representative uh to this this committee and they were an impressive group then um and then they came and told me that they wanted some someone more attractive and smarter than me to be the representative and and that's in council caballero along and that's what that was easy to find there was a huge pool of applicants for that i can't believe they i can't believe they said that to me um but i want to sell it this is why you like it when when uh when mayor pro tem chairs instead of me you don't get as many as comment that struck you deeply didn't it uh so i want to celebrate share with father anderson's leadership i didn't have the opportunity to be there under her leadership but but i think um what's demonstrated to the work of this committee is that durham cannot fully be who we say we are without all voices being amplified and empowered and i'm just so impressed with the the and this is not to minimize what i saw when i got there but the level of work and the growth uh in the organization the impact this just makes our city better so i just want to congratulate the new chair and certainly congratulate my colleague javier who's just just been an incredible uh advocate in that space not just in that space but but for all spaces in the city but particularly in that space which is brought to the city so i just want to celebrate them and that really kind of dubstale dovetails to why i pulled this uh this item i don't really have anything substantive i just wanted to take opportunity to celebrate uh the naming of this bridge the r kelly bryant bridge is kind of a warm elegant in its simplicity reminder of just who we are when we're coming home late at night for meetings just to see that blue uh in the sky that this simple arc of blue cutting across the sky i don't know this it just says derm to me it feels uh really special and it feels like part of our signature uh as a city uh to the world about who we are i want to celebrate the committee the community uh that made that naming possible and and just celebrate what it looks like when folks who are organized uh make petition uh to their government so i'm very excited about the signs going up on the bridge i did want to just point out one note i made um when i read the memo and the staff it says that uh in the background uh to staff it says pursuant to the terms of the agreement city forces will fund the installation i don't know if that's a typo if they meant finances but i just wanted to be clear that uh the council nor the mayor deploying any troops uh into hay tire on the bridge that it was finances that will be funding it uh so i just wanted to point it out to the staff uh i i think that that's not what that means uh but i just wanted to take time to celebrate uh this great naming and what this bridge represents um this was not a government-started initiative this was a people started an initiative that the government picked up on and that's really what it looks like at its best democracy at its best so congratulations to the community folk that made this happen and i'm looking forward to seeing those signs on 147. thank you mr mayor thank you councilmember councilmember freeman thank you mr mayor i appreciate councilmember middleton always bringing it home with those you know visuals of the arc of blue uh that i think i was gonna stick me stick with me for a while i just wanted to also note that uh the note i had on my notes was around the 3 800 that this contract was for and i was wondering if it was a typo or and i figure it was just because it was the contract that came forward but i i really appreciate how um staff has seen this all the way through to where we are today and i know that the trail aspect of this is still out there and i'm hopeful that we're going to figure out what it looks like to do some infrastructure and build up around there because the water that runs off into some of the folks properties um can be harmful so yes we're we're the arc of blue is wonderful it's phenomenal and i think there's a lot more that we have to do around there to move us forward well thank you and i see mr judge may have a comment for us yeah so the bill judge um city of durham department of transportation i was just going to clarify so yeah the 3 800 is the city is uh financing or paying ncdot ncdot will be fabricating and installing the signs using their their their forces and they'll be maintaining them as well for the life of yeah 147 in the bridge thank you mr judge and i should just add shout out to um bo ferguson and all the folks some of you all will remember that the bridge didn't always light up so well now it lights up perfectly there's new technology there and it looks great and so thank you all for all those who made that happen all right uh thank you so much we'll move to item 14 change order for construction contract with bar construction company inc at valley springs park i think that this was uh council member freeman but i'm not sure who pulled this was that correct council member yes thank you i know that there's this is a fix or you know just kind of fixing the issue or addressing the issue and i just wanted to make sure that i knew uh whether or not cadet construction company had other projects and if we were looking at them as well and just making sure the catch i guess if there's any misses around that that company company doing the work thank you councilmember i see uh ms rogers is on the screen ms rogers welcome hello no as far as i know we don't have any other um contracts with cadet construction um and i would say this was only their second contract with the city and i do believe they have left the state at this time so we will be keeping an eye out in case they try to bid on something else again yes thank you i was going to say that if they did we want to make sure that we can wrap them around wrap around some technical support because i don't want to have the same situation the current but i appreciate that thank you thank you councilmember and thank you ms rogers all right colleagues well now move to item 15 and uh i'll let uh council members freeline and middleton fight over who would like to go first on this one simultaneously with the exact same words i'll yield okay council member free sure okay hey um i thank you mr mayor um i just had a quick question it's not so much about this particular um about this particular issue but more about the the broader question of overriding consideration uh for the kind of um [Music] when we decide to uh exempt ourselves from competitive bidding um and i read the memo it's it's actually clear to me kind of how it applies particularly with deepak with um kind of sticking with the same folks um and it's really kind of a broader question about um uh when is it appropriate to um you know to suspend what we would typically do in cases like this so it might be a question for yeah city manager paige hey hello i will i will start that response uh typically these types of purchases you know are covered by state laws state law is pretty specific around them uh but there is the sole source um part of that um sort of an exception that that that allows a sole source um you know non-bid in order for some type of consistency it has to be very very specific and our departments typically receive um consultation from the attorney's office whenever we decide to make that type of decision if it is if it is a purchase that the state law applies material apparatus supplies uh you know construction repair those types of of of services you know just you know as we're speaking about it when it's professional services you know not those things i just mentioned those items are not covered by state law but covered by city policy and some other considerations uh around transparency and and those those kinds of things but we we are permitted to do it we use it on a limited basis and we usually consult with the attorney's office when we do okay thank you that that answered it thank you councilmember that's a good question and i think that they do come up occasionally and they're always worthy of our attention so thank you councilmember middleton mr mayor that that's why uh wisdom is so important that is why i yielded that is precisely the question i was going to ask and how widespread how prevalent is that amongst the studio this i know the city has a wide range of financial activities and just how how prevalent it is i was also curious about how often that exemption kicks in so council freelon thank you that was precisely my question the only other thing i was going to say it was just celebratory that the fact that we're purchasing uh new lights points to the inevitability of deepak opening up again and i think that bodes well uh for life as normal that we're even thinking about that thinking that far ahead so i just wanted to celebrate that we will get back and the lights will go up again thank you mr mayor thank you yes they will they will i see mr lamar is here from the city attorney's office and he also may have a comment to add yes mr mayor thank you very much uh fred lamar with the city attorney's office um just to echo what uh manager page um stated and also to assure you that this is this the city cannot exempt this uh competitive bidding type of purchase without getting city council authorization so if you're wondering how frequent is this you're going to see every request because we need to get the council to approve it that's why it's it is it is a significant um important issue and that's why it comes before you that's very helpful counselor thank you thank you mr mayor thank you all uh miss creda did you want to add anything uh we saw you a moment ago we don't want to deny you your star turn at the city council work session it's been a while since i've been here it's good to see you um no um we're just we're very excited to be adding new lights at deepak we have a lot of projects that we're doing there and um and so uh this will just add more um more fantastic um technology to the theater so um i know that um everyone at dpac is certainly excited about opening as well thank you and thank you for uh our our council suites look great on another subject so thank you thank you to you and the department all right colleagues um we'll now move to our our uh presentations and we're going to begin with item 19 which is i'm sorry item 18 which is the green and equitable infrastructure project and we will welcome masi [Music] mr ferguson welcome can't hear you how about now yes i'm sorry about that uh like you said it wouldn't be a zoom meeting if we didn't have some technical difficulties so i am beau ferguson deputy city manager for operations and it's my pleasure uh to present to you today on a follow-up conversation on green and equitable infrastructure and i see john has pulled up our presentation so john if you could advance to the next slide what we're going to be talking about today is a follow-up to a conversation we have at one of your budget work sessions on february 25th at that time we showed you uh a a broad range of projects uh totaling i think over 200 million dollars to potentially respond to your interest in a bond or increase cip capacity to support broadly projects that fell under an umbrella of equitable infrastructure and green infrastructure in that conversation it became clear i think amongst the council and the direction we've received was that it would really help you to nail down this conversation if you had a stronger sense of the actual projects we might be looking at and since there was such a broad range of projects in that first discussion your direction to us was to come back to you with a refined list and so that's what we're doing today um john if you could go to the next slide what we did to get there is first we asked you to do some homework in that first presentation we had a number of categories of projects and we refined that list and then asked the members of council to do just a really rough prioritization exercise to take those categories and help us understand from highest priority to lowest priority where they fell on your scale when we got that data back from council members staff in the budget management services office was able to just kind of give us a running average of what the sort of consensus or average ranking of council was uh and then we used that to assign a weighting to each of these categories uh i will tell you up front and reiterate that that was much more art than science you will see that rating but please understand that that that is just an approximation of assigning dollar value to numbers that you gave us of the priority order that is certainly an exercise that could be refined at council's discretion uh and then once we got that weighting i sent the departments who have offered those projects up um i sent them sort of a bucket and said fill this bucket this amount of funding uh with projects and use considerations like shovel readiness racial equity and other criteria to help determine which projects would float to the top of that list how would we fill up that bucket based on those criteria um and that's what we'll be talking about today this list still only represents a sample of what could be built obviously at this stage any of these projects could be traded out for other priorities uh and i would remind council that we had a number of caveats that we offered in that february 25th work session that still exists and that is that there's still a fair amount of work and analysis that needs to be done about the fact that some of these projects are very early in the stage of development would take some time to get them moving we need to do some serious considerations if we move forward about whether or not we have adequate staff capacity to deliver those projects uh a a thorough racial equity analysis has not been done on any of these projects and equitable engagement efforts on projects that have not been introduced in the community yet would be a critical component of moving forward those caveats still existing we want to go ahead and sort of walk you through um what what these priorities presented for council today john you can go to the next slide um as a quick refresher these are the categories uh that's that we sent the council and asked you to prioritize i'm going to start reading them and john if you can get that next slide up for me i'd appreciate it but the first was sidewalks uh and these are projects that sort of fall into that general category from the 2017 bike walk plan uh as well as some new projects uh that would fall into that category the second category we sent you is pedestrian safety and access improvements these are primarily intersection improvements to help pedestrian access and safety at specific intersections throughout the city the third was biceps bicycle facilities these are adding bike lanes on roadways and neighborhood bike routes the fourth broad category was trails and that is both new trail construction and also uh major maintenance on existing trails next five of them uh dirt street paving is a project that's in our existing cip but that could use additional funding to be able to complete this work throughout the city energy generation and transportation electrification is a broad category we gave you that would help us with the conversion of city vehicles primarily uh to uh to electrification and also would facilitate generation of green power through partner projects or through projects on facility facilities energy resilience and retrofits is a category that would fund work to harden city facilities with green technology to both ensure that we have resilience that serves our city staff as well as the community and also uses green technology to to to support key city infrastructure and also this considers retrofitting existing city facilities to make them more energy efficient the next to last category waste reduction in circular economy this generally was a catch-all category for a couple of projects in uh solid waste that would support uh recycling and composting to sort of really generate that that um that circular cycle that's so important to sustainable sustainable practices when it comes to waste and then our last category we gave to council for consideration was enhanced in equitable green spaces this really was talking about adding amenities to existing green spaces to make them more attractive and more resilient and also to introduce some you know newer green technologies into the everyday experience of of durhamites throughout the city uh and especially i think focusing on underserved communities um these are not the exact same categories you saw on february 25th they are the same projects we combine some of those categories to make your ranking exercise a little bit simplified but these are essentially the same con concepts we sent at that time next slide john so we asked you to rank these and you did and this is the result of uh of the rankings that uh that council submitted you'll see that uh the first two categories tied and those were sidewalks and pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements of the next ranking was bicycle facilities coming in third trails came in fourth enhanced inevitable green spaces came in fifth waste reduction in circular economy sixth energy generation and transportation rectification seven energy resilience and retrofits in eight and derrick street paving came in at night so if we go to the next page as i said in my introduction [Music] i then sort of took that pot of 50 million dollars which was the number that council gave us uh at the budget work session and and tried to divide it up based on your ranking this is the part that that i've referred to a little bit as art there's nothing magical about these percentages but wanted to uh to try to reflect um your priorities in dollar figures this could easily be changed and you'll see by the end of the presentation it already has been uh but this is this is what i gave to departments and said um respond with projects that that sum up to these amounts i won't walk you through it but it's there on the screen and we'll get a chance to revisit this one so uh so they did and at the uh on the next slide we'll start with your highest priority so the the first thing that i heard back uh from uh transportation director sean egan was that while the three funding amounts for these first three categories were a good reflection of council priorities they weren't a very viable uh levels of funding based on the projects that we have teed up the reality is that we had many more sidewalk projects identified and ready to be pursued and funded uh and but not as many projects in the second and third category so sean suggested that we front load sidewalks with dollars from those other two categories and so that's what we did so you'll see that while these first three categories the funding amounts don't add don't match the amounts that i sent out to departments the three categories together do add up to the same total we've just moved most of that funding forward into sideways so with that in mind the transportation department suggested 22.3 million dollars for the sidewalk projects and given all the considerations that we discussed before the the first look at projects are the ones you see before you uh these would be new sidewalk projects on party holloway cornwallis north carolina 55 and yesterday again uh as i will say multiple times probably ad nauseum these are early estimates i'm not sure we could deliver all these projects perhaps we could deliver more than these projects but at this point in time that's an estimation of what 22.3 million dollars would buy in the category of sidewalks the next category which was tied with sidewalks was pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements next slide uh as we said uh in your ranking this uh was tied with first obviously it's a much much lower uh funding amount but that's a reflection of the fact that these are less expensive projects uh and that we just don't have uh the dollar amounts identified to really match that higher level so a lot of this funding moved forward to sidewalks but you'll see that there's still a number of project locations that uh that transportation recommends we could uh pursue with 2.5 million dollars of funding and these are intersection improvements for pedestrians uh at mineral springs in north carolina 98 austin or wallace 501 and mount moriah avondale and roxboro roxboro and jackie robinson foxborough and moorhead cornwallis in 55 and fayetteville next slide so the next category is bicycle facilities and again this is an area where uh the funding doesn't match what we send out but uh that is i think a recognition again where these projects are in the pipeline i think it also and we can ask sean sort of towards the end of the presentation if he wants to elaborate but uh some of these projects really can be implemented without a lot of construction and i think the intention with only half a million dollars of funding here is to pursue those projects that really are more striping projects and realignment projects on existing roadways uh understanding that uh reconstruction of roadways to add bicycle facilities is a much more expensive proposition but in this in this project uh category he recommended half a million dollars of funding that would provide the local match for federal funds for bike wall corridors and neighborhood bike routes again we don't have specific projects listed here we weren't able to to get to that level in time but we can bring in sean if he wants to discuss uh further kind of how this might play out if we fund this category moving to your fourth priority uh in trails we suggested 7.1 million dollars of funding here uh and those are two specific projects the durham beltline trail which you received an excellent presentation on several weeks ago and made it clear that while we have basic funding available to advance this project uh we uh that funding falls far short of delivering a number of enhancements and amenities that were part of the master plan uh so we suggested this as a top priority because it is a project that is underway and under development that could take advantage of additional funding pretty quickly i would also note that this is a project that we are shopping broadly for other people's money to the extent that some of the federal programs that we've become aware of over the last couple of months might be able to uh augment this project we're being aggressive about trying to secure those funds uh don't know if any of those efforts will pan out but having a number of irons in the fire feels like the right approach for this project we also have a funding shortfall for the r kelly bryant bridge trail which is a program that is under development now i want to be clear that should this effort of additional capital funding not move forward you know we will be proactive about closing this gap through some other method but likely that will mean having to bring those funds in from another project and it will have an impact in other projects so should this effort move forward we would recommend closing the gap in in this project's budget through this funding effort to keep us from having to to go through other pots of money and other projects to try and move this forward next category the next slide now we move to enhanced and equitable green spaces uh you'll recall this is that category that adds amenities to existing spaces that we have to enhance their sustainability um and one of the things so we proposed about 2.7 million dollars for the projects in on this slide um the the bulk of that funding and this suggestion uh goes to the south alabama stormwater project uh in our last presentation we'll walk you through i think a few amenities that are currently unfunded in that project that project is moving forward uh to to serve the poor storm water needs but does not have as much of the enhancements that we discussed in the early stages of that project we could potentially add some of those back in with this funding this also could fund uh increased tree planting 1500 trees a year and that's an effort that i think council is more aware of this would be able to extend and find funding for that program for the next five years adding 7 500 trees we'd be able to install green roofs on potentially five city buildings we could enhance existing park spaces and solar gardens and we could pursue a very leased program which is essentially where the city leases space for our staff or other uses working with the landlords of those spaces to incorporate uh more sustainable thinking in those spaces both in the design of those spaces and the use of those spaces for our employees so uh that's a number of projects that could fall under this category and that would fit roughly in a 2.7 million dollar bucket the next slide takes us to waste reduction in the circular economy uh and uh and this is i will admit for me uh probably the biggest stretch in this presentation uh in terms of a project that probably still needs some work in vetting before anybody gets too wedded to it but um we do not currently have the ability should our composting pilot that we hope to launch later this year should that take off and we've become interested and believe we could be successful at a broader city-wide composting program we will not have the capital facility that we need to actually receive and process that conference and so solid waste has proposed that potentially purchasing a new piece of land or repurposing an existing piece of land that we own getting all the necessary permitting and upgrades to make that a facility that could handle city-wide composting would roughly cost five million dollars this this is one i'd ask you to take with a big grain of salt both in terms of our ability to deliver and the potential of that cost being appropriate but it does respond to this interest from council i think it's a very good fit with some of the values you've expressed in this process so we wanted to include it for future consideration slide so uh this next category in your list of priorities was energy generation and transportation electrification uh at a level of 4.4 million dollars this could fund two different initiatives the first is to install charging infrastructure for transit buses at the billing station so you know that we are uh venturing into electrification of the data fleet uh very excited about that when we're taking possession of our first two election buses later this month uh there there will be overnight charging uh for those buses at the data facility that this proposal would add sort of top off charging at the durham station so that when those buses come to the durham station to load and unload passengers while they are waiting in that process they'd be able to get topped off and i think that's an interesting and exciting opportunity to keep that fleet uh running uh maximum on maximum uptime on those vehicles we'd also propose a rooftop solar installation on city facilities that would fit into this 4.4 million dollar bucket we feel like we could install that at three different locations in the city next slide our next to the last category is energy resilience and retrofits and at a funding level of 5 million this would allow us to to do some of that as a introduced as we went through the categories microgrids uh solar power and solar power storage at various facilities to increase their resilience these could be things like recreation centers if we had a significant power outage and we wanted to open them with shelters this allows us to not just make sure that they are resilient but potentially using green energy to be resilient to enable to uh survive a significant power outage uh and to maintain resilience throughout that uh the second bullet is uh the potential for that same level of resilience for critical infrastructure like pumping stations uh or um or city facilities that need to operate at 24 hours right now a lot of that resilience is not provided by green technology we rely on generators that use natural gas or diesel and so this potentially could use more green uh infrastructure to help fund especially smaller facilities we talked about lift stations other infrastructure that might might run off batteries and those batteries could be charged by solar energy again in this category we didn't didn't really have the ability we haven't gone far enough in this effort to identify those specific facilities so i know we're still a little bit general here but we were at least able to estimate the number of facilities that could be funded for five months the last category and i know you know a lot about this program is i won't spend much time on it the current cip does continue to include efforts to fund dirt street paving i think this fits very well under this umbrella uh as an equitably focused project to to make sure that we're providing an equitable level of service throughout the city um this is funded in your current cip our current projections are that we don't have enough funding in the cip to complete this program so this as your uh as your my priority would at least add i think another a year of funding in the cip without moving forward on this it doesn't mean this program stops but again it might mean that to continue this program through completion we have to look at some of our other uh projects to to find money to keep this apart so with that those are the that's a quick walk-through of the nine categories and what i wanted to summarize for you on this slide is that the uh the first waiting category is what i sent to departments based on your priorities uh after they looked at it and said well here are the projects we have and here are the ones that we think match the council's interest as well as being able to build in a reasonable time frame uh they suggested those dollar amounts those are the dollar amounts i included and so i ran that second column just to show you right now the dollar amounts that are in each of those categories reflect these percentages um while they uh while they differ i think in general we captured the overall sentiment of the council and trying to assign some level of priority to this and you'll see that they still add up to roughly 50 in this case 51 million dollars um mayor schuler you did at one point express an interest in higher levels of funding and i would say that if council's interested at some point obviously there were projects that didn't make this list if council were to direct us to uh to come back and say what would 55 million or 60 million look like we could fill those buckets but at this point these are the most viable projects at a 50 million dollar load i have a little note at the bottom and it didn't translate to uh to this pdf as well but i just would reiterate at this point that these costs don't potentially include some operating budget cost increases that we haven't calculated yet and that might be contract management costs that could be potentially new ftes to manage significant projects in particular i would suggest that the infrastructure around sidewalks and pedestrian safety we are probably not scaled at this point to deliver that amount of new projects in the time frame being considered without considering some additional amount of significant resources there so these next three slides and john you can go to the first one are really just cut and pasted from that earlier presentation but i thought it would be useful for reference uh if council uh remained interested in pursuing a referendum and a bond approval these are the dates that david boyd covered in that first presentation i just wanted to include them here as a reminder that last bullet uh is important to remind as well that um that if this november is not uh on the council's radar screen for this but you remain interested in a bond referendum that any november can have an election for this if you choose to go in that path the next slide goes over the other alternative we discussed which is adding adding a portion of the property tax that would support uh an increased allocation of the cip and rather than doing a voted bond issue instead in this scenario council could consider approving a tax increase and then allocating that increase to pay debt service and to cash fund the cip um in this scenario i think uh and i will say this roughly and david boyd can hop on and correctly quickly if i get it wrong but roughly a penny on the tax rate would generate enough money over the first five years to fund the projects we just discussed the timing of that is very much an unknown so whether or not if those projects would have to push forward or backward within that five year range is something i don't think would get answered yet obviously the debt model that we use to fund the cip is very much in flux each year depending on what we spend on projects but as a general rule of thumb um a penny on the tax rate would give us roughly enough capital to do these projects lower levels of funding would also generate enough money over a longer period of time and be able to discuss that and more length as you would like um and uh david notes in this slide i think it's important is that that is interest rate sensitive in that scenario that uh depending on interest rates at the time we do the borrowing that could generate more or less capacity uh so take all of that with a little bit of a grain of assault uh the next slide uh some of this information already covered um but uh you know the difference here between the bond issue in the third bullet this does result in a permanent capacity increase as opposed to a one-time commitment to a group of projects so that when we work through this list uh this council or future councils could continue to fund additional projects under this scenario and of course this process if we were to go with it uh it does not require everything so our last slide is where we give you more work to do this is you know really the conclusion of the presentation um these are the questions that would be helpful for staff uh either to get some feedback today or as council considers this obviously uh there is a great deal of time sensitivity with the delivery of this year's budget as well as the potential to move forward on a bond referendum that we would you know either of those efforts you know we'd like to respond to council's direction as quickly as possible but we understand this is a lot to digest so our questions would be are there specific projects that you saw that you have more questions about again you would not have to commit to a list of projects immediately but the sooner you have thoughts or feedback the sooner we can tweak this list to make sure it meets your expectations we would like to know if the funding is distributed appropriately among the categories maybe you you like the categories in general but you'd like to see more funding in one category maybe less than another obviously a critical question i think mr fergus is having some internet difficulties but we'll wait a minute and i expect we'll hear him mr mayor uh john dolores uh interim budget director while we wait i certainly can finish off his questions uh if that is helpful sure that'd be great mr allure thank you i think what i think what he was just getting to is probably the most time sensitive question is um is is there a will a desire to advance this towards a a cip or a to pursue a bond avenue with this if it is a bond which year would you target for selection [Music] is the are the funding levels i think i think his point here is with with the bond issuance consistent with council's current thinking and did did we miss anything is there anything within the scope of this presentation and or these questions that you feel also it needs to be addressed and i think thank you for appreciating john [Music] it seems technology always fails us at the best times i'm sorry for that i'm not exactly sure when my connection dropped out uh but but john summer this this list does speak for itself i think the last comment i did want to make um and i think i actually was making to the blank screen was that um yeah i don't want to leave council with the impression that not moving forward with either a bond issue or a tax increase for the cip means that none of these projects will happen um what it would mean is you would need to tell us in that venue if you wanted some of these projects to happen then we would need to find a reprioritization of the existing cip some some projects would need to go in order to make some of these projects happen um the fact that it's on this list doesn't mean the yes vote is for the project and the no vote is against it it does mean that if if we don't move forward that uh that we need some feedback from council about we want these projects must happen we need them in the cap staff go give us some options to do that so um you are not at a at a precipice where all these projects go away without additional funding uh but it does mean you know more more prioritization and more choices within the existence here so with that and with apologies for the technical difficulties uh mayor that concludes our presentation and we've got a broad range of staff uh who i owe a great deal of thanks for their efforts who are here today general services transportation public works solid waste and parks and recreation have all been a big help in pouring this information together and i believe we've got individuals i i i and obviously budget management services and finance have all been a big help in making this happen uh and would be happy to answer any questions you need thank you very much mr ferguson great report um you all did a great job pulling this together with a lot of speed and uh we we gave you a short timeline for this and you've done a wonderful job thank you so much colleagues i think what i would like to do is just before we get to the kind of defining questions that mr ferguson posed for us um and and i'm happy to you know take those up now as well but i wonder if there are any questions that people have to start with just about any of the category any of the funding of the various categories any of the kind of uh more detail-oriented uh aspects of the presentation councilmember freelon thank you mr mayor and thank you for the wonderful presentation bo um i just had a quick question you mentioned something towards the end uh that we didn't have the capacity to do the sidewalks and some of the other projects and i was just thinking about uh you know just partnering potentially with workforce development uh on training and hiring local folks here in durham to help and fill that capacity versus you know outsourcing it or hiring somebody else is that something that you thought about or is there precedent for that kind of collaboration between departments thank you councilmember you know that that's certainly something we can explore when we're talking about that capacity bottleneck we're really talking about the project design and uh and delivery and of course those are uh you're looking at civil engineers you're looking at project managers um those are obviously some positions that take an awful lot of time to to become prepared for uh and i will tell you that i think there's a great deal of enthusiasm on the part of staff to find as much talent in those categories as we can find and develop as much talent but i think the reality is that you know in the current climate where the construction market is as robust as it is um the pipeline to sort of develop and train new talent uh from from a level where you know where someone doesn't have that skill set to where they have that skill set that's a long pipeline so while i do think there's enthusiasm for that i wouldn't want to leave council with the impression that that would be a solution that makes these projects deliver sooner um i think as council has seen with a number of our vendors who come before us in the professional services categories those private firms struggle to find uh um struggle to find a diverse workforce and certainly i think that's something that locally you know we prize and value very highly um so i think that's a long-range effort but i'm not sure it gets us a short-term uh fix for a capacity i think really what we would be looking to do or what we are suggesting might be necessary is either hiring additional civil engineers in our project management division in public works and of course in that vein you know our human resources efforts to to find recruit and hire diverse and local talent i think they're pretty well developed um and then or the potential to go out and find contract managers either to design those projects got it so there's not like the poor and concrete that we actually are staffed enough in those types of roles to execute the the new workload so so most i'm sorry yeah that's it okay uh so from most of these projects when we build a new infrastructure almost exclusively we do that through contractors our our staff um our in-house staff are better designed for very small construction projects and maintenance and so while we do a lot of sidewalk repair in-house asphalt maintenance in-house when we go out and repave the street or build a new sidewalk that's not something that we have found it to be the most efficient for us to have in-house uh so we're really looking at hiring construction firms to do that work as opposed to our staff okay thank you for that um another really quick just high-level question um i've you know i've been reading a lot about the american jobs plan and you know two million two trillion sorry with the t dollars of infrastructure potentially coming down the pipeline from the federal government um have you considered how that might impact any of what you're trying to do here um yeah uh yes we are i think in all of the above mode right now i think a number of city departments and resources are tracking um available funding for infrastructure and so i actually think you know one of the things we discussed in in this process and also in a process to identify potential earmark candidates is the fact that if there is a large amount of infrastructure funding that really that may be coming for core needs um that that that might best go uh to some of our projects that don't score as well on the wow factor for you know for instance you know i think we understand there's there's always going to be a great deal of enthusiasm for trails uh for new infrastructure even for i think some of these uh green uh and equitable projects you know people get excited about those and so sometimes it's easier uh when you're looking for grant funding uh to showcase those projects but but the projects that often get you know i think uh left behind are some of those uh bread and butter projects like uh like maintenance of the dirt street project i think is a good example uh a lot of one of the categories we considered early on but took out of this discussion was we have several roads and durham local roads that need complete reconstruction those are not repaving projects but those are areas where the road is simply failing and i think those might be really excellent candidates if the federal government passes a major infrastructure package so we are trying to be strategic about it uh and and prioritize projects for different categories of funding that seem like the best candidates to secure that okay thank you that's all for me mr mayor for now thank you and and mr ferguson maybe you could describe the earmark process a little bit i don't think all council members are aware of the fact that the earmark process is back and that we have applied for some earmarks uh so i hate to put a colleague on the spot but i might ask uh my colleague commissioner manager paige has joined us to describe that process a little bit yes and i was i was popping in to say a couple of things on one is we do have a point person at city um you know we we've been kind of on the edge of our seats as the um different funding sources the uh the arp plan is is coming into existence and uh bertha johnson is actually leading an internal group that's looking at all of those sources coming to into the city as well as to other governments um in our community so we kind of have that part of it uh covered with with the with the leader and i was also about to bring miss wallace on as bo was to talk about the earmarks because she's the one that's been directly involved with earmarks thank you ms wallace welcome good afternoon mr mayor mayor pro tem members of the council and manager paige thank you mr ferguson i appreciate this opportunity to be put on the spot but i'm delighted to share with the council that i have been in communication with congressman david price's office about the new year on process is a process that has that we've not had the opportunity to participate in for several years now but that process has been restored through congress and so most recently as of last week we the city of durham actually submitted two applications for earmark funding one was a joint application with uh go triangle go durham and chapel hill transit to uh purchase some electric buses so each organization submitted a request for eight million dollars to assist with the the efforts to go green we also submitted an earmark request for the dorm belt line the durham beltline trail and so that is a project that we've had a lot of community engagement around and so we're hoping that we can get some federal support around that as well um and quite frankly the criteria for earmarks as shovel readiness um can the project be ready to go and be completed within a two year period so we had lots of ideas many of which beau has spoken to in his presentation today but quite frankly um there is some infrastructure funding that we are expecting to come down the pipe so hopefully we can take advantage of that funding as well but we are aware of the earmarks and hopefully we will be able to take advantage of all the funding opportunities that are currently um before us thank you very much ms wallace for that explanation thank you all right colleagues other questions for mr ferguson questions or comments uh madam mayor pro tem thank you mr mayor um and thank you bo i always love your presentations they're just like so clear and direct and i always feel like i understand everything at the end of them um so just wanted to appreciate the work and how quickly y'all got this back to us i'm wondering a little bit about the bike infrastructure stuff that seems to be the one that had the biggest disparity between our prioritization and the amount of funding that's being um proposed so i was hoping you could talk a little bit more about that and i'm wondering whether there may be some projects that like aren't quite ready to go but that if we you know some that might be closer to being ready that we could prioritize um over the next year or so to try to get them to a point where we could use a bond um to pay for that sure i'm going to ask sean egan if he could come on the meeting and speak a little bit more thank you bo uh good afternoon uh mayor madame mayor pro-tem and members of council sean egan director of transportation uh so what you see on the slide is a half million dollar uh recommendation for bicycle facilities as a match to federal funds what we what we see with the federal fund process there are specific requirements for federal and state assistance programs for transportation and that our bicycle facility projects tend to score much better than sidewalk projects for their transportation benefits so the the projects are set up generally with an 80 20 match 80 federal and 20 local so the the half million that you see there would leverage an additional two million dollars worth of federal funds so we'd be delivering a total of 2.5 million worth of projects but that local match would be required in order to complete the funding package for those projects and so we'd be continuing significant efforts that are underway right now and making significant investments in bicycle facilities as part of that match we have additional federal aid that's available through the annual federal highway funding process as well as through the cares act and other federal relief so that really gives us an opportunity to use these local matches and advance projects that will build out our transportation network consistent with what was recommended in the 2017 bike and walk plan sean i think to the council members in town curious if if they allocated more funding could we get more projects uh in terms of local mat if we have more local match could we get more projects or is this capped and i guess a second question would be is there an additional batch of strictly local projects that are kind of on your list of priorities if council wanted to spend more in this area that don't require federal match but that we would just go out and do if we had more money i think the balance that we were trying to strike with this was to look at the project value as well as the equity considerations so we have certain projects that would improve the bicycle transportation network but they are not in communities that are historically underserved communities and so as part of this effort we wanted to prioritize projects that were located in historically underserved communities and look at project candidates from a race equity lens so while there are additional projects uh that we could consider they don't score as well uh when viewed with that race equity lens so they're so that was why we didn't recommend them as part of this effort thank you sean that's super helpful um can i also ask since this is in your lane as well on the pedestrian safety and access item that was another one that um scored really highly for us but the investment was much the proposed investment is much smaller than um than some of the other categories that's just because those are less expensive to implement um or are there if we were to put more money into that category are there other areas where we think um we could improve that pedestrian safety so what we saw with sidewalks and pedestrian safety was a great deal of overlap particularly in the description of the pedestrian safety it talks about providing connections to bus stops so the recommended project that you see in the sidewalks category every single one of those projects provides connections to bus stops we know that over 80 percent of our go german bus riders are people of color 75 percent have incomes below 25 000 a year and two-thirds live in zero car households so transit is their transportation so we thought it was really a good opportunity to focus on sidewalk projects that both were serving historically underserved communities while also providing those connections to transit and bus stops so all of the projects that you see in that sidewalk category have at least a 75 percent minority population and all of them provide connections to transit services so there's a great deal of overlap and that's why but that's why we put them forward in that sidewalks category uh because of the benefits uh both as pedestrian infrastructure and access to our transit network got it thank you um that makes so much sense uh the other pedestrian um safety and accessibility question that i had was around like new ideas about how to do crossings at at intersections and i'm wondering whether um we've considered doing anything like um you know where like all the traffic stops and all the walkers go or um any other you know way of of timing different signals to make um to make walking safer i don't know a lot about it but i know that there are cities that are moving in different directions um with regard to like their walk signals and signals for cars and was just wondering if we have any if you have any thoughts on that or if we're doing anything so we had success when i was in washington dc we had two locations uh with very high pedestrian volumes around our major transit stations where we did have uh crosswalk that where all of the vehicle traffic was stopped to allow crosswalks at two of those locations we have not seen uh pedestrian volumes at a rate of that level here that would uh be sufficient to do that but we are continuing to advance things like a leading pedestrian interval where when the traffic lights stop the pedestrians get green time ahead of any vehicles so before those vehicles make their turning movements so we continue to do installations of pedestrian signals and additional installations of those leading pedestrian intervals to give pedestrians kind of that first chance to make their way into the crosswalk before the vehicles move and that's something we're really looking to do more of and some of the intersections on that slide that's the type of treatment that could be implemented at those locations awesome thank you so much thanks bo that's all i've got appreciate it thank you very much madam mayor pro tem um councilmember middleton thank you mr mayor and bo good to see you and john and i want to thank you and the team uh for really this great great presentation i want to fully associate myself with um mayor pro tim johnson's characterizations about your the nature of your uh the presentations uh and the clarity of them the accessibility of them thank you so much um so i i wanna i wanna uh firstly say look for full disclosure and i'm gonna out myself i can't recall whether or not i turned in my prioritization on this particular piece i'm looking through my notes and uh thinking back i remember doing it for the budget priorities but i cannot recall whether or not i actually did it so whatever the merits that gets me within the context of the conversation i want to fully own i know i've made public utterances about the priorities within the context of conversation but i cannot recall what i did tonight so i want to own that uh firstly um i think this is this is a really you know probably maybe second to the budget this i think could potentially be one of the most important conversations we have both uh substantively and symbolically as well for the city so i i just because this this i think can really send a clear uh powerful message to the people of the city how how seriously we take uh both green green space and um equity i did a little thought experiment and i did a thought experiment with the nomenclature and i exchanged i switched equitable in green in the uh in the nomenclature just to see how that would um help me go through the priorities if i put equitable before green um because when i look at the categories i sidewalks pedestrian safety accessibility pedestrian safety accessibility improvements in my uh you know world view dirt street paving would be in one of the top three and again i want to own i can't remember what i did my priorities are not but dirt street paving um for me when i put equity before green uh in the uh in the in ranked that higher please put that in the first position dirt street craving moves way up for me uh because just whether you look at hollywood depictions or in history books one of the most graphic depictions of inequity and disparity in in space and built space are streets uh historically you know who got their streets paved who got street lights and for a city that's called a city not a hamlet or a village or a town um i think that's minimum all the streets have to be paid i mean you even get into the discussion before you start talking about bike lanes you know a dirt street oftentimes points to a a place in history through an equity lens where we know that there were certain communities by design that got infrastructure to begin with and and there are some that were put at the bottom of the list and those those you know those things codified themselves and embedded themselves in history and the development of cities and even to this day you can go to certain places around the country you know where the poor folk are of the minorities because of historic disinvestment and historic the you know not building up infrastructure i think that's a low-hanging fruit i think that's a layup for us to to just make it a a municipal priority that at the minimum every street in this city city will be paid um so so for me that that would have been moved up to the top three everything else you know gets built on that um secondly i i um and the disco and if i'm out of order mr mayor just let me know but to the questions that you asked all right uh to the questions that you yeah thank you sir that you uh listed uh on the last slide i think that again stressing equity over green i i would be in favor of of an escalatory approach to this and by that i mean the if we add a penny to the tax for the cip i think that's a layup we can take now it's something that we can do immediately and have immediate impact i think it would send a clear um and dramatic uh message to the people of the city that we take equity um and green infrastructure seriously um it doesn't require uh a vote uh by the the citizenry or residents uh of the city uh and it also but with an eye towards also from an escalatory point of view adding the bond um on as part of our you know our strategy and the reason why i say this is because again putting equity before green i remember and i've said something similar before the the the wave the rollout of the of the affordable housing bond was received amongst some in our city and just a heavy lift that that was uh even with all the information even with the outreach um and certain sectors of the community either because of historic you know hurt uh you know not trust uh you know mistrust uh having the time to do really do the robust educational piece um and i think that if we did the cip piece first and gave ourselves some time with the bond to do the requisite educational work again because if you stress equity first the more time we have for voices to be part of the conversation to tailor and contour what this debt this money would be used for the more equitable it would be as opposed to a you know city council in wisconsin city hall on high saying we're into equity and these are the projects we're going to fund that we think the bond should be going to i think it would just give us more time uh to have um those conversations uh with community uh uh stakeholders um either way you know i i support the bond but i think that from an equity point of view it would give us uh more time i also want to hold the conversation about the bond in tension with uh what will be the fruits of the the refresh of our comprehensive plan uh what will come of small area planning i know we're looking at southeast durham uh uh developmental you know land use in southeast durham and there's also been talk about possibly expanding consideration of small area plans for legacy black communities be they uh haytai or or wall town and i'm wondering how some of those ongoing conversations and the the ultimate results of our conversations about the comp plan and small area plans will inform uh and perhaps even hold intention what we do with that bond money uh from a green and infrastructure point of view so so they they may be disparate but those are variables that that i can at least see being brought into play and held in tension as we have that conversation but i think the cip right now is a layup that we can take as a city 50 million dollars is a significant amount of money we can talk about adding uh you know adding more but i think that would be a really substantive powerful signal to the people of the city that we take green infrastructure and equity seriously um and still have an eye towards ramping up and escalating with the addition of the bond perhaps in 2022 uh so those are my feelings i hope i'm in order uh with that but but but that's where i'm kind of right now thank you mr mayor thank you colleagues thank you thank you very much uh council members other questions or comments at this time i'm sorry councilmember reese is not here uh mr ferguson and i'm just gonna just uh ask you all to please if i know him he'll probably listen to this recording but uh just for you all to give some special uh time to him on this i know he'll want that uh councilmember freeman thank you mr mayor i think uh i would also like to process a lot a little bit more um and take some special time as well i do note that uh i i really appreciate how how quickly this is coming together i i will just take a step back and acknowledge along with councilmember middleton i did submit and i noticed my number one is not on here and it's the you know the transformational infrastructure development or infrastructure investment and i think that goes along the lines of what councilmember middleton is talking about and you know acknowledging that the projects we probably should have as a priority weren't even thought of um at the time that these cip projects were pulled together and so i acknowledge that these are the projects that are in you know in the pipeline but there's some inequities in that and so just figuring out how to address that i think councilman middleton highlighted quite a bit i am excited about a bond and i think i lean away from the tax heavily acknowledging uh just how hard times have been for property owners that i've been talking to um and acknowledging that that increase might even just the penny uh could be could be can could create a hardship that folks are already experiencing and um just just a just a mental note to myself but i i really wanted to dig into some of the projects themselves because i i think the stormwater projects um i'm noting that goose creek is not is not an rcip and so that's not going to be a part of this conversation also for the circular economies i know that the county's working on a plan as well or or at least having some conversations about what it might look like and so i think we should be making sure we're talking to them and i was thinking about when you're talking about the rec center specifically i know that there are because of the way our parks and rec centers have been set in the parks with a low-lying area often in the land that people would not develop a property on uh there's a lot of water problems that i could note in eastern i'm not i can't speak to every park but i know for up at a rock quarry and a few others i mean there are huge infrastructure issues and i feel like i don't know if that's included in this conversation and so i would love to follow up back on that i really appreciate uh miss wallace sharing um the earmarks that were highlighted because those would help a lot in alleviating some of the pressure on what the 50 million dollars could be used towards and i note that there are a lot more grants coming online um acknowledging that some of the foundations are figuring out that they need to support local local nonprofits around these things and so figuring out if there's partnerships there that might help and building up our opportunity to to do some grant funding um with with national organizations i i think that that um one thing that struck me from mr egan's conversation specifically is around not doing any bike facility projects in other areas that are not underserved is that that creates the pressure so that all of them are all in there or in the historically underserved communities and so for bike facilities it might not it might not be an issue but that's not equity and just acknowledging that all or none is not a good pitcher for for the equity conversations really trying to figure out what is needed for each community and so i would definitely want to have more conversations around that but i think all in all this is this is phenomenal i was trying to note i was i was trying to be you know not inappropriate with my comment about how magical mr ferguson has been with with this in a matter of two months but i i really appreciate this and i am oh this is like this is this is all in my lane on infrastructure because people can't see the water pipes they can't see the infrastructure that's crumbling underneath the streets and the roads and i know that that it's it's important that we make sure we spend the money and we invest in it and so to the point that middleton councilman middleton was making about you know we should move forward i'm i'm of the mind that we should move forward with this bond and make sure that that folks understand that it's in the best interest of us now while we're while we're at these low interest rates while um while we have a chance to really uh move forward the cip projects that have probably been there for like over 10 years i think i know some of them probably even much longer uh i know they've been there since i've been on the cip committee and it's it's such a slow moving process especially with the sidewalks and the paving so i think that's why they came in so high but i i i think that's about all i have so thank you thank you very much council member councilmember middleton thank you mr mayor if uh uh council freeman's comments uh prompt to question me i'd like to ask the staff is it the staff's position that if we float this debt via a bond that it will not at some point require a tax increase to pay for it is that the sas position uh no i believe a bond would require tax increase i might ask uh david or i'll see the city manager as that was come on springs yes it will it will prompt the tax increase at some point i think there was a note in the slide that indicated we don't always have to have the increase in the year that we actually uh start you know start the projects because it is a cash flow you know cash flow matter and we manage that you know very very closely we you know we don't just like with the housing bond program we didn't start the tax increase uh when we approve the bond but we will have it right in order to pay for the debt thank you madam manager so just to be clear between the choice of the cip increase or the bond it's just a matter of when not if uh regarding a a tax increase against this great so i just want to be clear uh of the folks that are watching that either one of us we're going to have to either one we're going to have to raise taxes i appreciate that councilmember middleton i think i i appreciate the clarity if i was unclear i was specifically just speaking to the fact that it's a lot of folks are facing a financial hardship this year and last year and so if another year or two could be added to allow for more time that was just that was it so i appreciate that clarity thank you council members council member cabiato i just have a real quick question it's so is this being presented as a user either or either it's a bond or it's cip i just wanted to understand that regardless of the timing i i think uh we're open to direction from from council on that i think what we have proposed is for this 50 million dollars worth of projects the uh the slides we presented uh that represented the tax rate to support that uh was one alternative and the slides we presented showing a one a one cent tax for the cip is another alternative uh if council were to look at a hybrid model i think we you know we might want to come back to you with more financial calculations about what that might look like or if you were looking for a different funding level a higher funding level then those options would be available at the council as well i have a follow-up question if that's okay mayor um uh the reason i'm asking is the 50 i mean what was it i forgot what the total was when you all did the initial presentation that was like lots and lots of money of infrastructure over 220 million that's what i yeah so in my mind i don't really i hear lots of um i appreciate the presentation it was excellent i appreciate my uh colleagues comments i'm kind of processing 50 million dollars isn't going to cut it doesn't really matter how we do it um so if we look i feel like we're operating an infrastructure deficit for lots of reasons so to me if you're operating from a deficit point of view it's going to take there's the catch up and then there's the actual parity to the communities around us um i don't remember when but at dost um i think it was lindsay smart from durham parks and rec they've done an analysis to our two other communities carrie raleigh others around trails we are woefully behind what other communities have in this area it's one of the things that um we durham has done lots and lots of things way better than so many communities across the country this is one of the areas i know that we consistently hear from residents sidewalks road improvements parks it's why we're having this conversation so i am interested in i can see the benefit of both doing it through the cip or through a bond um i can i see the benefit in waiting until 2022 for a bond and not doing it based on the slide that you presented of the timeline that seems very very rushed to me to try and put it on the ballot in november um assuming the general assembly doesn't move our election um so i don't feel the i feel urgency but i don't feel like it would do any of us favors including our residents to put it a bond on the ballot in november i also do not feel confident adding it in the cip this for this fiscal year that we're discussing because we know we're doing the affordable housing increase because we know there's going to potentially be some other increases and so weighing those conversations and and not wanting to increase taxes at that level um this is more you know thinking about next fiscal year whether it's a bond or in the cip and also i think we're going to have a better understanding of what's happening at the federal level um with the infrastructure passage which i hope we get um so i need more time to ponder uh i appreciate this uh presentation um it's a lot of really really good information and for me the importance is is the timing and then how do we get the most that we possibly can thank you very much council member mayor pro tim thank you mr mayor i just wanted to say um after having this conversation i'm actually like wanting to do things more quickly uh just because it feels like a lot um you know the because i'm really excited about these projects and also knowing that there are a lot more of them in the pipeline i i feel a little bit more urgency now after this presentation to um to start figuring out how we do this money whether it's a bond or whether it's an extra cent um on the debt rate i also am conflicted about another cent on the debt rate this year um i can't remember exactly what we have right now in our um in our budget guidelines what the what the increase was for the affordable housing i think it was like a little over a cent um and i don't know if we know yet whether there's another increase just for general operations so i'd like to keep it on the table um as something we continue a one one-cent increase on the debt rate is something we continue to talk about as we move through the budget cycle um and figure out kind of where as we kind of figure out what the what the whole tax rate is gonna is gonna look like um and i also think it makes sense to move forward with a bond i think doing it this year would be a stretch um putting it on the ballot this year would be a stretch but i also feel like this is something people are going to be excited about um so i think i think i mean i i would if people were were excited about moving it this year i would be um i would be in favor of that i also feel like next year would be um would be good but i yeah i i do feel like a lot of these things um that people are going to be excited about them and i don't want to wait too long to start figuring out how we're going to get this stuff on the ground especially with infrastructure projects like we're talking about this now but the actual implementation is of anything that we were to you know that we're talking about now is already several years down the road um so anyway just some some thoughts thank you councilmember freeman yeah thank you um mayor pro tim johnson i i i appreciate councilmember calviero's comments because i know i felt the same way when we were talking about the housing bond and acknowledging it was 500 and like 44 million and we were talking about 95 million and that like deficit of like well where are we gonna get all that money from i felt it but i think in this in this uh atmosphere of kovid and the conversation with our current administration around building back better we've got two years to figure out how to make sure that we maximize what we can actually count on coming from the federal government acknowledging that the house and the senate could could shift and change and so i'm mindful of that and so similar to council member i mean mayor pro tem johnson's comments i do want to note that i think it the urgency is not around not around us it's not around like whether this will shift or change here locally it's more like nationally and just acknowledging that things can change really quickly council so middleton thank you councilmember councilmember middleton thank you mr mayor so so this ongoing discussion really crystallizes you know qualities i appreciate so much uh in each of my colleagues and and why it's so important um the the perspectives that we each bring i mean i i resonate deeply uh with council caballero and i appreciate how she she's a constant uh voice in terms of you know fiscal responsibility and looking at the money and i also appreciate uh mayor pro tim johnson greatly uh for a sense of urgency uh and and then the need to act at points and i think we need both of those uh perspectives at the table um and and i i don't think it's an either or i i support both of these things which is why i think we should take an escalatory phased-in approach i think that um and you know respectfully i think all the projects uh that would be addressed with the cip increase are just as if not more important than each council's each counselor's individual request council generated ideas that are going to be in the budget this year um that costs money maybe not as much money but but it's my word government that's all we can do we spend money um prudently hopefully um but but i think that all of these projects are just as important as our council that initiatives uh and deserve serious consideration i'm i'm somewhat comfortable with the amount of money we're getting from the american rescue act we've got money coming towards the city um you know the indicators are good that we're going to have a favorable um relationship with washington moving forward in terms of money coming down the pipeline so i think that if we looked at a phased-in approach uh i think the cip will allow us to increase would allow us to strike early and make a definite dent in some of these projects that we so desperately need in the city uh and i think delaying the the the uh phasing of the bond would not aside from just you know financial room i think it would give us the time needed to you know if we're going to do an equitable bond then we need to hear from the community on what they think equitable you know use of that money would look like and i just don't think november would give us that amount of time it kind of like if we're gonna put if we're gonna have the you know the audacity to put equitable in the title then we have better make sure we do all the work necessary to make sure as many voices were involved in this equitable you know floating of debt for the city and spending the money and i just think uh that next year you know at least a year would allow us to do that and you know i take lessons from what we've learned in the rollout of the affordable housing bond and we took time to do that i don't think this will be any less heat and light generating in the community when we float this and and to confine ourselves to less amount of time to do the education the roll out the engagement on this bond than we did with the affordable housing bond i i just i don't know if that's a lift i'd want to commit us to but if my colleagues say go then i'm down with you but but i just think that the phased-in escalatory approach of both not either or of both of these i think would make us a model uh certainly for cities around the the state possibly the country in terms of truly putting our money where our mouths are and striking now um for green infrastructure and for equity so that's all i'll say at that but i appreciate i really appreciate the spirit and substance of this debate thank you colleagues thank you councilmember um i have some comments but i see our manager madam manager um thank you mr mayor um as as usual uh some of us are talking behind the scenes as as you all discuss uh some of these matters and you know certainly it has been said here but we you know we want to emphasize that any any decision that is made for new projects that are not already being planned there's going to be a delay in delivery and it also means a delay in the larger parts of the cost so the design phase planning and design of lower cost and you know delivering a penny this year does not take off the table in a pla on a planning horizon you know giving us the direction you know to go ahead and you know use the direction that you're giving to us now to have you know a future a financial proposal that we give to you and so those were a lot of words but just wanted to make sure none of it none of it means we're going to spend new money next year for new projects in a material way thank you thank you madam manager colleagues i have a few comments thank you so much i thought that councilmember middleton was right about the discussion that we've had i think you all have really outlined all the alternatives in front of us and they're complicated and i think we've had the full range of opinions um i wish i do wish councilmember reese was here because this is an area where i think he really uh knows a lot and could help us but uh we'll we'll hear from him he is by the way taking care of a uh a uh ill family member nothing serious but uh came up this afternoon so i just texted with him and all as well he's uh he's pampering the ill family member right now as uh so good for him mr mayor deputy manager ferguson had made himself visible i don't know if you noticed her i don't know if you wanted to before you got into your anything mr ferguson i know in fact i think i made myself invisible to allow you guys to continue the conversation okay thank you um yeah so i had just a few thoughts uh not fully developed but the uh just to remember our budget guidelines and where we can change them but what we have said is that we have uh our the affordable housing bond is in there at 1.38 cents and then we asked our staff not to go above 2 cents that would be our target total that we don't know yet uh as a couple of you all have said what the operating needs will be that might fill up that rest of that two cents i know that our staff will help us with that um and i just want to say that you know we we talk about a penny if we wanted to hold a total increase to two cents we'll see what happens but we don't have to do it in penny increments either we can do it in whatever increment we want um adding a half cent to the set to the tax the property tax would if just using the rough math that from from what we know uh in the slides that we would would generate 50 million dollars or something like that over 10 years if i'm wrong about that mr boyd can come on the screen and tell me uh so uh and we have talked about the fact you know so so in other words one possibility you can do a half set this year and i have set next year to get to the 100 million dollar over 10-year figure um i don't think we have to think of this all in in one cent increments when we think about the tax rate i know we're all concerned about the tax rate and then i am as you all know um i am a fan of uh bonds under certain circumstances and the there are a couple things about this that one thing that concerns me and one that seems like it's different in a certain way than the housing bond and i'd like to kind of hear from staff about that but the thing that does concern me is the timetable it's not that i don't think we could do it i think we could do it and i think we would have a good chance to win the vote but i don't think it gives us the best chance i think to get i think if we want to be sure and really have the confidence and buy-in of our residents that we would be better off to uh wait until 2022 either if the election is earlier in 2022 or if it's in november i could be persuaded otherwise and if my colleagues decide to go otherwise i will be there because i think this is absolutely crucial work but i think that we would be better served starting off with some funding this year and some funding would be a lot of funding over time uh and then uh moving to a bond but again i i'm happy to hear other thoughts and if that's not the will of the council i'll certainly be there for a bond um and then the the thing that i feel about these items is as opposed to when i think about the housing bond sometimes for the housing bond we need millions and millions of dollars in one time big projects and a lot of these projects on this list are not of that nature so i think that they're more susceptible to the to the long-term cip funding than a housing bond would be than housing needs are um but i'm interested in if staff has any comment on that and if staff believes that either of these funding mechanisms because that's what we're really talking about here is the what's the best funding mechanism we know we like the projects and we know we wish there were more projects and want more projects the need is much greater as council member caballero described and councilmember freeman and so i'm just wondering if staff could talk about which of these funding mechanisms does either of these funding mechanisms give us a better chance to do what we want to do than the other i believe it's true that the mechanism of of adding to cip debt of cip debt funding tax increase to do that that definitely gets us more over time but are there projects that we just have to have a bond issue for because they're big you know i think for example the of the um of the organics recycling facility is that something we have to have a bond issue for so i wonder if staff could comment on on that uh and i hope i've made that question clear enough yeah i've uh asked um finance director david boyd if he would potentially discuss that and while he's coming on i would just say that yeah from a from a delivery standpoint you know the the funding comes through either mechanism um you know and so large projects are small projects uh i'm not sure that the way the funding comes in via i think we've lost mr ferguson again yep i think so mr boyd do you want to comment and then we'll get mr ferguson's comments when he comes back sure um why don't why don't i start with just kind of illustrating real quick for y'all what kind of capacity you can get at different tax rates in the cip you know we've been talking about this one penny or a 50 million dollar number just so you have some some context um john i think you have a spreadsheet that maybe you can share real quick just so it's easier for you all to see it it's not the most fancy formatted thing but i think with some words here you'll understand that the the point that i'm trying to make um so and and this is not as bo said earlier this is a bit of an art as opposed to a science because um when we spend money or when we borrow money um really drives this this capacity but just to illustrate if we're talking about one penny in the cip with the way that we are currently using a mix of cash funding and and borrowing so i mean our existing cip plan is a series of bonds just a different type of bond that don't require a boat so from a from a simplicity standpoint it's much simpler to to do it this way than than through a referendum process but if we were to add one cent and we were to to see what kind of capacity does that create every year if we spent the exact same amount every year and if my my interest rate assumptions are totally perfect it's about 11 million dollars a year in capacity but if you want to say how much could we get you know as quick as possible with that one cent you know borrow more in the first year if we want to maximize that one cent we could get like 39 million dollars in fiscal year 22 to beau's point of what i think he was he was saying we can't deliver you know a new 39 million worth of projects next year and then that would eliminate capacity for you know the next couple of years and then we would start up again with some more capacity once some existing debt had had paid down the value of pennies increased and then we would start back up with that permanent capacity increase of 13 million dollars so that's the difference between the even line and the max line so if that was a half a cent it would be you know six million dollars a year um every year if it was even as opposed to 18 million dollars right now and then 10 million dollars once we got a few few years out or if we wanted a quarter cent you know that's a three million dollar increase every year or eight million dollars now so um it really and we won't ever spend in exactly these flat increments but just to kind of illustrate the the difference in what you could get at different levels is is what i was trying to to illustrate for you here and and get back to again to that kind of permanent capacity increase um versus the one-time increase that a bond would give you um and then additionally additionally the the whole notion of of incremental our ability to incrementally deliver projects over time as well as the the possibility of the incremental approach to perhaps you know some increase in the cip now and and a bond issuance in the future um using the cip for some of those things that that that beau talked about that might not be that exciting um and the bond issuance for those things that might have more more uh public support but um i think bose back in so i'll finish his comments but i think this context might be helpful for you all as you're you're considering where you want to go very very very helpful thank you so much apologizing again for incomplete comments i'm not sure what's going on here i haven't generally have this problem but um i'm sure david covered it you know i i think uh there's you know some nuance between the two funding methods but not a significant impact to which projects we can deliver based on the funding method um you know i think internally as you probably suspect from how we talk about this i think the staff has a preference for some flexibility um i think and i think cip funding gives us a little more flexibility project schedules can change project scopes can change and within the cip we're able to move forward and back a year in terms of funding levels when that happens i think bond issues definitely have the benefit of voter visibility uh and and affirmation uh sometimes the downside of that is there's an expectation of a very specific set of projects delivered in a very specific amount of time and as council is unfortunately aware a lot can come into play in delivering these projects and so sometimes the bond issues create that expectation and sometimes a disconnect between what we're able to deliver and when uh but again i think we're very comfortable moving forward with both methodologies and all of the pros and cons of each of those can be managed thank you that was super helpful very very helpful and it was good to see the spreadsheet i'd love to uh i think i've got the spreadsheet memorized but uh it would be great to uh get that in an email i think that it would all it would be helpful for us to refer to it but that was super helpful um so uh i guess what i would say to our staff is you have heard a council that has a wide variety of opinions and so i think maybe and and and if we are to take action uh we would need to do that by may the third uh is our first step is that correct certainly if you wanted a an fy21 um yeah a 2021 election cycle referendum that would be a deadline you need to meet uh your other options uh have a little bit more flexibility um but obviously as as the manager is finalizing her her planned budget um so if there was an intention for the next fiscal year cip to be increased um that direction would need to come fairly quickly so i have a suggestion for staff and my colleagues uh and i'm not sure this will work but let me just we have um one more work session prior to that date so can i suggest that we put another discussion of this matter on that work session um and that would allow us then to take the requisite action if we were to if we take action on may the third we don't have to go forward but it is necessary if we are going to go forward with a bond issue is that correct yeah okay yeah so um my understanding then would be if we were to take some action if we if we discussed it at the next work session that would at the following council meeting we could take the requisite action uh does that if we are planning to at least cons keep our option open for a bond issue is that right is that timing work i think we can make that work that that first action of counsel is not doesn't require a significant amount of legal work or documents or or or specificity to get that first action out of the way all right thank you so colleagues that gives us a couple of weeks to do i think a couple different things one is to talk amongst ourselves and just uh gets you know think together uh you know in ones and twos and threes about our own thoughts talk to um the staff further in our one-on-ones and so forth about their thoughts and what i would ask of the staff and i don't know that this is possible at this point but one of the things on my mind is can we know more in the next few weeks the next couple of weeks about any kind of estimate on when we have any progress about what we think about the tax increase necessity for other things i think that you know that's on my mind when i think about uh would i be supportive of a tax increase of some size for see expanding the cip for green and equitable infrastructure um what else is is still on our plate and i wonder if it would be possible to know more in the next couple of weeks um i know we won't know everything but and maybe it's too early so any thoughts on that from the manager or so we are we are working on a budget every day now and we expect you know to have most of our departmental meetings completed by the end of next week and you know certainly we're not extremely far from when the budget is to be prepared and presented so uh the answer to your question is we will have more information uh in the next couple of weeks without a doubt great so that will be helpful so colleagues um let me just reiterate then my suggestion is that the staff work on that and that we uh think about what course of action we want to pursue and that we discuss it again in two weeks that time councilmember reese will also be back so how does that comport with your wishes colleagues is that okay can i see thumbs up if you like it let's see a thumb okay i see most thumbs councilmember freeman are you good with that i'm just thinking uh based on i mean based on the comments today i don't know if it's if it's necessary but if you feel like that will help i think that's a good idea okay yeah i i think that i mean i i am i'd like more information before deciding and uh and i'd like to hear the whis you know get more wisdom from everybody and have a chance to think about it more okay so that's what we're going to do then uh mr ferguson is that okay with you and does that work with what your plans are for the staff and so forth we're good yeah i think thank you gloves next steps to be so i think uh you know on the project side we're sort of uh on pause uh i think council's gonna consider the the tax information you requested and then that will help inform where you wanna go next great thank you very much all right great discussion thank you for the presentation great presentation and um i you know i wish that sometimes the council is very clear we know exactly what we all think together we all agree uh slam dunk sometimes we have a a broader variety of broader range of opinions and that's where we are today and i think that's that's i think we're giving it thoughtful consideration so much appreciated okay colleagues now we'll move on to uh the next presentation which is item 19 and this is the affordable let's see what it's titled the affordable housing report get that title right uh affordable housing investment plan update and um i see mr johnson welcome mr johnson thank you thank you mr mayor reginald johnson director of the department of community development and i want to also say greetings to mayor pro tem and the members of the city council the purpose this afternoon is to share with you an update on the uh affordable housing um plan and so um the first thing that i want to to do before i begin is to want to definitely thank the community development staff all of the work that they do in and one putting this presentation together and also doing the work uh that needs to be done and i also uh want to uh thank uh the partners that we have as well as our stakeholders that we have that actually do work as well and we're very grateful uh to them uh the objectives that we have for this presentation is one to discuss with you the progress thus far on the affordable housing uh plan and then we also wanted to discuss how we're counting and discuss the fy fiscal year 22 plans and discuss the challenges that uh that are out there uh that we uh uh will be facing and so uh with that uh we'll begin the first thing i know we've talked about the affordable housing uh plan but now we have a name for it it's going to be called uh forever home durham and we want to um thank one other new partner uh the local firm of martin ross uh and uh in partnership with french west vaughan another firm out of raleigh that have jointly ventured to help us they're going to be helping us with our website but they helped us with the working through a name uh for the affordable housing plan and it's forever home durham so we want to thank them for that next slide so just to uh reiterate where we where we were and uh going to where we are and and then go into where we will be uh you know do you remember the in november of 2019 the voters during voters overwhelmingly approved the 95 million affordable housing bond the bond is being 95 million dollars neither bond is being confined combined with 65 million dollars in existing city and federal funds to make a total of 160 million dollar investment now called forever home durham in affordable housing and services for low-income residents next slide and just to reestablish the uh the goals and reiterate the goals uh that we had when we uh exactly uh presented this plan to uh to you uh members of the council and uh and the residents and voters uh forever home durham goals was are to build 600 new affordable rental homes preserve 800 affordable rental homes move 1700 homeless persons into permanent housing provide 400 affordable home ownership opportunities to first time home buyers next slide to help 3000 low-income renters and homeowners remain in or improve their homes create at least 130 million dollars in contracting opportunities for minority and women-owned business enterprises mwbes also to support nearly three thousand jobs as a result of construction of operations and resident spending over the life of the housing created with forever home durham funding next slide so how are we counting what are we counting so included in forever home durham reporting uh in terms of units uh counting units associated with city-funded contracts executed on or after july 1 2019 which is the beginning of the first city fiscal year forever home durham program and then in terms of services services are counted uh the services that are delivered on after july 1 2019 and services include programs such as eviction diversion property tax assistance minor repair and down payment assistance not included in the accounting uh foreign home durham reporting are activities and funding associated with coveting the night team response and the hood u.s department of housing and urban development led remediation program if you remember received about three million dollars uh for uh for participating in that program next slide so i'm going to orient you to this chart which is our progress to date across the top we have the goal of the goals and the various categories that we just talked about then we have pipelines what's in the pipeline and that's defined as the funding recommendations that are made but a contract is not yet executed that means it's in some stage of planning though we have made a recommendation but no contract has been prepared yet or executed i would say because some of our steel contracts are being prepared and then you have under contract means that a city funded contract has been executed and then completion uh completed means that for units uh a certificate of compliance uh certificate occupancy compliance has been received and for services the service is delivered that's what completed means and then that's across the top and then you have the balance remaining after we look at those what's in the pipeline what's in the contract was completed going down the uh the left-hand side we have the categories of rental units created uh we have that's two sub-categories uh one with durham housing authority and then non-dha non-dhl the ones that we're contracting with our other partners and stakeholders other than the durham housing authority and then we have rental units preserved and we also are doing some preservations with dha but then we also have those that we're working to preserve that we have with our partners other partners and stakeholders then our homeownership opportunity is created uh homeless persons in permanent housing uh and then the next category is low-income households stabilized and remember we just you know talked about the goals so just to pick out uh one rental units created total remember the goal was 1600 we have in the pipeline are 236 units with durham housing authority and we have non-dha we have in the pipeline 230 uh we've completed 82 of course that's willard street and so uh that can help you to help one to see that we have uh what's in the pipeline and what's under contract and i have a balance of uh 1052 units out of the 1600 gold that we have that's how one looks at this chart of course you'll be seeing this frequently so that's the reason i wanted to take a little time to to orient uh uh everyone to this particular chart you'll be seeing it more of it again uh next slide so this is some highlights of uh the progress to date uh summary you know of course we have two two categories one is of course working with houses the other one is people and so uh these are some examples of willard street uh that i just mentioned before the new construction of 82 rental units for families also the j.j henderson tower with dha and their our development partners cci rehabilitation 178 rental homes for seniors then we have ross road with reinvestment partners a preservation of 42 units for families and then a partnership we have with the scrap exchange where we land banking some land for 33 future units uh for at some point in the next um several years and then on the people side working with households and families uh 504 households have avoided eviction and preservation and preserved it and we've reserved their tenure uh 36 elderly and disabled homeowners received minor repair assistance 562 persons experiencing homelessness regained permanent housing and then the joint city county funded unsheltered coordinated agency provides street outreach outreach and encampment response um so those this is some highlights and so we wanted to share those with you next slide so the next slide uh next step slides to talk specifically about our fy 22 plans what we hope to accomplish in the next fiscal year and again uh thanks to martin ross and french west vaughan for forever home durham in terms of the name of the affordable housing plan we are they also have the tagline that i'll introduce now the tagline is affordable livable and inclusive and those are aspirational goals and what we're trying to do with the funding that we have we want you know to create housing that's affordable uh clearly that's livable and most definitely inclusive and so uh we want to um you know try to create something in terms of uh that really works for our citizens as best that we can i do uh want to introduce and see this slide of willett street a picture of willard street and i want to do acknowledge the comments that council members made on monday night reference to the willow street apartments and residents are moving in and we just want to say thank you for taking the time to uh to visit uh for those who had the opportunity to do so next slide this is just uh uh i want to spend a little time um talking about this slide it's rental project development timeline and this is just a reminder of an example of a low income housing tax credit project it can be used for other projects as well but the point is that to the left you have city issues rfp that's in zero months and then you go to completed construction such as a willow street that's 36 months out that's three years but along the timeline you have an award decision at three months a developer applies for tax credits at six and then a war decision at 12 and the point is that it takes three years before we get to example the willard street or office outside or any other for a lot of uh projects and there are a lot of things that can happen along the way and be quite frankly about it that one can and we found this out you might want to say the hard way that you can start and be 12 months in and have a decision something impact you that you have to go all the way back to the beginning and so the point is uh three years is and everything hits on all cylinders that's awesome but the realities of development don't always mature that way and so sometimes some things to take longer than what is initially uh planned next slide so what i'm gonna do with the next set of slides is to talk in the various categories about what we plan to accomplish in fy 22. and this slide focuses on creating and preserving rental homes and this is a durham housing authority and in terms of the creation of new units uh remember where we have the j.j henderson apartments new construction new construction of 80 rental homes for seniors we're going to execute the contract and begin construction elizabeth street apartments the first phase of 5 19 east main liberty street redevelopment new construction of 72 rental homes for families we're planning to execute a contract and begin construction and then the commerce street apartments which you saw on the agenda today uh second phase of the 519 east main street liberty redevelopment new construction uh of 84 rental units for families we're going to secure financing and execute the contract and then going into preservation of affordable units for the housing authority j.j henderson tower we have we have 178 rental homes for seniors uh construction underway and then the maureen road uh complete the improvements over sewer infrastructure for the 224 rental units for families that's was what we wanted things we're planning to work with them and accomplish uh in fy 22 next slide and this is the create uh and preserve rental homes for other developers or other partners uh that i mentioned earlier uh construction to be completed in fy22 the fitzpal apartment complex is run by accra which focuses on persons who are hiv and other some other disabilities rehabilitation of 14 affordable rental units affordable rental homes the ross road project which reinvestment are partners rehabilitation of 442 rental homes for families and then we're planning to execute contracts in fy 22 in construction beginning in fy 22 or early fy23 again going back to that schedule that i just talked about um harriet's place with reinvestment partners which is an adaptive reuse and creation of 16 affordable rental homes and then 2702 north duke street that's a casa project 16 new affordable rental homes and then you have farrington road partnering with laurel street residential which is 82 new rental homes for families beginning fy22 fy23 the hardy street which is a partnership with dhic and self-help 132 rental homes for families and then the east durham phase 2 with the durham community land trustee dclt rehabilitation of 14 scattered site rental homes and fy22 and then we're also planning to issue an rfp for new multi-family projects with the goal of securing additional 200 units next slide so in in terms of provide providing permanent housing for homeless persons remember these are the system measures and this is a if you recall i've talked often before the council where the community development department wears two hats one of them where administrators of the system the homelessness system which is all the entities that work to have homelessness but uh we're also one of the 50 or so that also do that so we have a dual dual role but the key homelessness system performance metrics include 300 persons and 50 persons will exit homelessness to permanent housing 25 of people experiencing homelessness who contact entry point durham will exit homelessness without entering an emergency shelter and then emergency shelters will reduce the average length of stay by 10 percent to 65 days of what we're hoping to uh accomplish in fy22 and then in terms of homeless system planning which we're doing much better job over the years thanks to the homeless services advisory committee and our relationship and partnership with hud and other stakeholders uh in our community and indeed our region the community development will lead data-driven planning and resource allocation discussions with the goal of building system uh wide consistence on funding priorities and then in terms of technical assistance we'll identify technical assistance of ta providers and expand ta to homeless service providers to help implement best practices next line going again to the category of home ownership opportunities we well we're going to work to execute contracts and begin construction of seven affordable for sale homes on city-owned single-family lots that's with habitat for humanity and dclt and then we're going to launch our down payment assistant program assistance program with the goal of assistance for the home buyers doing fy22 and just as a note we have issued a request for proposals for a program administrator that was issued in march of uh 2021 next slide in terms of stabilizing low-income homeowners and renters uh first category is repair and rehabilitation we plan to have 30 minor repairs and five substantial rehabs completed for elderly and disabled homeowners 30 minor repairs are usually 10 000 or less substantial rehabs can be up to 50 000 and then eviction diversion the city funded eviction diversion program services will serve 800 households and on property taxes long-term homeowner grant program for taxi is uh 2019 and 2020 completed and that program is underway now we're accepting applications now uh next slide in terms of uh creating contracting opportunities for mwbes and this kind of gets to one of the things that uh council member uh uh prima mentioned uh we're actually going to be uh mbe the mwbe consulting firm will be in place by the end of fy21 and will be responsible for the education and technical assistance for cindy city funded developers on mwbe requirements including that includes dha and non-dha projects also the outreach and support for mwbes and section 3 businesses as well as the monitoring and reporting that is required and then we'll begin to provide regular updates on mwbe activities in fy 22 posting on our website and including quarterly reporting our next slide in terms of support of employment opportunities uh we'll be uh tracking and reporting progress towards goals of supporting 3 000 jobs as a result of city investment using the economic model available and not to share the website there also prioritizing hiring a low-income and section three individual eligible individuals for any new construction related positions resulting from this work and implement a workforce pilot program in partnership with dha and office of economic and workforce development that has already begun of course as we've shared it has some uh challenges due to covert but uh they have i think a couple of people that are involved actually now uh next slide another goal that we have that we'll accomplish in fy 22 is to support the work of the affordable housing implementation committee appointed by the city council to advise and provide feedback on the implementation of forever home durham program they had their first meeting on april the 1st actually we'll have another meeting on april 15th and so our role is to support them and with that it also includes increasing public communication enhanced transparency around implementation of forever home durham and the use of public funds and that includes maintaining a federal home durham website as an information hub about the program our goal is to i think by the end of may at least have some website up it'll have this federal home durham will have its own individual website separate from the community development website and then circulate quarterly updates on program implementation and outreach and presentations to community organizations and residents next slide so the challenges that we have for as we you know move forward there are some challenges unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world but uh i think that we are able to make some challenge and make some progress through the challenges that we uh face and so i'll outline those our next slide so the challenges that that we face are one of competing priorities and capacity limitations uh covet 19 response and the launch of the hood funded that meridian remediation program taking up a significant staff capacity and it's contributed to the delay of the launch of new programs particularly in the area of home ownership accessory dwelling units and resident stabilization and the reality when we talk about news programs those new programs required a great deal of research uh required new contracts and contracting templates uh in terms of investigation and new processes that we have to work through and that requires our staff time and so that's that and the midst of covet uh is one of our challenges and then the evolving timelines for large multi-phase projects uh large multi-family projects that are reliant on low-income housing tax credits a lot tech changes and the changes in financial strategies including assess or not in securing latex remember when i talked about that slide earlier where if you don't get tax credits tax credits but you've been already a year in you basically go back to zero and you have to start over and you know we've been through that a couple of times uh and so that's a reality and then sometimes when you're switching from a nine percent to four percent that also involves uh impacts timing and the structure of the multi-phase redevelopment projects so that's just the uh the the institutes of development but that's a reality that we have to um to work through and that's a challenge that we face next slide in terms of the covet 19 response including the need to deploy federal emergency funding with short spending timelines became a priority at fy 21. uh for a lot of particular homeless team there needed to be a total almost a total shift in the work that they were doing remember i talked about that we were doing system work well the system work became covet 19 response work and so that has uh uh meaning that we had to shift uh some priorities and covet 19 uh completely transformed the homeless activities shifting the focus on developing and supporting non-congregated housing options and service delivery for residents experiencing homelessness and then emergency rental assistance emerged as a new area of activity first with the cdb g uh covet funding uh you remember you approved uh some funding in uh july uh but now with the treasury uh funded program and you remember that we you know have the interlocutor with the county and we're actually working to with the county to design the program and they're purging the software with the the goal of releasing opening program quite shortly and then community development provided operating funding for nonprofit housing partners to preserve essential affordable housing development capacity and so those are things that we've really had to work on some of them were new for us but the point is that covet has had an impact on us and our work greatly uh and i see that you know with our team uh though we are making progress but we cover as i you know share with covert 19 is definitely real and it's impact on us so it's been significant uh next slide in terms of the implementation fly time frame for uh forever home durham the impact of covenant team pandemic on both the community development department as well as our external partners have affected the implementation of forever home durham and community development anticipates that it will take an additional year to fully implement the program through fy25 for construction projects in terms of a couple of points the final funding commitments will be made no later than fy25 reconstruction completion occurring in some cases after fy25 because like i said with that time frame uh when we make commitments it may go definitely past fy25 and then of course services will be delivered by the end of fy25 next slide uh this is uh update we've updated our website for progress this is on the city's website uh forever home durham program and we welcome you to visit the affordable housing bond uh news website for for hell of a home durham will be launched by the end of fy 21 and then i'd also share with you that uh uh i and uh mr anthony scott of housing authority uh actually are running on city life with beverly thompson uh for the month of april and so i would encourage you to uh if you have the time to take a few moments to to uh see what we have and you know if you have any feedback we'll welcome it but uh take some time for the information that we've shared and so mr mayor mayor pro tem members of the council that concludes the presentation and update on behalf of the community development department for the city of durham and what we're planning to do for fy22 thank you so much thank you so much reginald that was really informative and it's great to get a sense of where y'all are at on all these many projects and thank you for the link to the website i'm sure you know you get a ton of questions we get a ton of questions all the time about i mean i think this is probably the most asked about area of of city work um maybe zoning but this definitely number two um so it's great to have that resource to be able to send out to folks um any questions or comments from members of the council council member middleton thank you madam mayor pro tem um reginald good to worry there you go good to see you thank you so much for the work uh you're doing and the department is doing the team is doing uh i was greatly anticipating this this presentation and it has not uh let me down um i think mayor pretends right this this is a area we get a lot of questions on so i want to i want you to help me um navigate a couple of things so i can intelligently respond uh to folk you know in so far as i can um so um the the progress to date um slide yes sir the where it says low-income houses uh stabilized what does that mean does that mean folks that have participated in the eviction diver what does it mean to stabilize the household so it means yes it does mean eviction diversion is one of the programs okay and go ahead what no i was going to uh say that's also um yes that's correct so in another slide it says that 800 households were service and eviction are participating eviction diversion are we yeah i'm just wondering what our accounting protocol are we so folk that have gotten eviction diversion after the date we said we're going to start marking victories for forever home are we just adding those folk after that date we're counting them as forever home or is there some type of different rubric what is the distinction between the 587 stabilized on that chart on that slide and the 800 people that participate or 800 households that particularly participate in the victim diversion i see karen's logged on as well um karen go ahead yes sir um good afternoon karen lotto community development um to answer your question councilmember middleton um what we count for um eviction version is households that are stabilized as a result of the assistance from the program so not everybody who gets assistance actually gets to remain in their unit sometimes people still get for still get evicted sometimes people negotiate and move out without an eviction conviction so we are only the folks who are able to remain in their unit so the difference between those numbers is number of people that the program will serve that we estimate the program will serve in a year versus how many in past years because that's counting back have been able to stay in their units that that's very helpful so so just to operationalize stabilize that when i hear that that means that that person was not evicted at that particular time but does that speak is so if next month they have problems with it or the month after that is is this just a discrete connection to this this is a discrete um so and and that measure actually rolls together a number of activities that we engage in of which eviction version is the largest number and it is a discrete point in time the thing with eviction division is you are stabilizing the person in the moment you are addressing their current crisis it does not mean necessarily that they are not going to have a crisis you know six months down the line the other things that go into this category are um minor repair and substantial rehabilitation um uh short-term rental assistance and um vouchers provided by the hop-up program and people served through the property tax um property tax program so this is a a a sum of of multiple programs and there are programs that don't sort of rise to the level of you know the level of intervention is not to the point that we can say that the household is in an affordable unit um but rather that we are providing a a a a more narrow intervention to stabilize the household you know in the moment okay that's helpful um thank you so um the the we're going to have a firm in place for mwbe consulting firm by the end of this year um but we're already posting victories or at least counting putting numbers on the board scoreboard prior to the the that firm being in place so one i want to i want to ask at least address the at least a potential appearance of lost opportunity for for mwbe victories if we're already posting victories but we're not going to have the firm in place until the end of the year and secondly will that be a second contract that the council will have to approve that funding or is that funding already accounted for within your department to call for israelis that council we will bring that council that contract before you for approval remember we did set aside funding for the contract we actually are going through the process now and so you will see that firm so that's number one in that contract so in terms of the the victories remember the we already have goals and the housing authority has goals for their projects in terms of mwbe participation already right now that's not anything new the firm is not going to okay the firm is in place now then we start doing mwbe work and that's not the case that's all we go because that's already city policy right and so so let's you know but one of the things that firm will help us to do is uh remember this is one of the capacity challenges is terms of our recording and reporting and also working with section three businesses as well in section three and jobs uh that's gonna be one of the uh the roles of the firm as well so it's providing augment support to us to have a wide variety of uh the services and the functions that are needed to achieve the goals that we want to have in this area one of the things that we'll be needing for example the firm will be working to help have sessions with mwbes to assist them and support them and also working with the general contractors to be able to have the general contractors to do what they need to do in terms of soliciting making sure they'll take affirmative steps and actually really have minority and firms as part of their work uh so that's what the firm will be known you raised an interesting point that insofar as the department already has mwbe goals i think it raises a question as to the organic linking of it to forever home and and what do we count as being connected to forever home and what is already freestanding or based upon pre-existing efforts for example i know that the willard street project at least conceptually pre-dates the the the you know the the affordable housing bond i mean that that's been on something that's been abandoned about my public square and been you know talked about within city hall years before we actually passed the affordable housing bond so my question is because this particular slide the progress to date is being linked to forever home not just the regular ongoing you know pro forma activity of of the department which is why i'm asking you know at least from a public point of view it could be that you know we're already giving out contracts we've got stuff in the pipeline and i just want to give you guys the opportunity to assure the public that those projects are being scrubbed from an mwbe through an mwb prism or lens as well because we're saying we're going to hire the firm at the end of this year i just don't want the impression to be out there that you know we can't do that until you know we're still passing out contracts with the firms out in place yet go ahead please well i mean i'll be glad to address that uh council member because remember that we were doing work before the bond passed yeah and that's one reasons we say how are we going to count and we're going to start counting on july 1 of 2019. so right in the case of willett street though yes it was talked about on the public square as you mentioned the contract was not executed till after july 1. which is why that's counted so that's going back remember that timeline that we talked about uh that it takes some time and so that fits within uh the time frame that we're establishing on work that was already going we didn't start our work uh when the bond passed we were already doing work that was part of a plan that was that we've been working on and so you know how do you transition that we picked a date you know that we thought you know mates made sense and so this would be the counting date got you and and to be clear i'm not questioning the appropriateness of counting things or attributing things to forever home you know that may have predated the actual you know pronouncement of forever home what i am suggesting though is that in this presentation if we're going to say it's connected to forever home then that that i think that opens the door to you know look at all of the apparatus that's associated with forever home and i just want to i just want to be clear to folk watching that because an mwbe firm is coming on at the end of the year but we're already you know promulgating that their stuff in the pipeline and victories have already been scored relative to an initiative that doesn't have its firm in place at that don't be alarmed we are doing still mwbe work because of pre-existing already does that make sense yes sir and it does it does make sense and uh the other piece that i would add to that is that do remember that forever home durham includes more than just the bond referendum it includes all of the dollars that's how you get to 160 that's city dollars that you have approved for the dedicated housing fund that also includes the federal dollars that we have received as well as the uh the funding that was approved by the bond utility okay thank you so much i think that's all i have in surround i'll yield the rest of my uh colleagues but uh this is very exciting um and it's exciting to see it graphically depicted numbers are already on the board um so thank you so much thank you mr madam airport thank you councilmember mr mayor thank you i just wanted to add one thing that i uh that this presentation was given uh by mr johnson and mr anthony scott at the affordable housing implementation committee on first and at that time uh that they reiterated the mwbe goals and mr scott the housing authority goals was 30 on their contracts and he said on the first projects and mr johnson you can correct me if i'm wrong but i believe he said they were already up to 20 utilization and still still working on contracting for those projects so that is correct and actually i think he's on he can speak for himself yes i am and yes you're correct mr mayor we are told i think it was 21 so far and uh hope we hope that the continues to grow to get to our minimum of 30. that's great thank you mr mayor did you have anything i'll just say that um even though i mean the department had to do so many different things this year uh they had to really change everything to get all this rental assistance out the door and to ramp up our homelessness work because everything changed to get people resettled and you know just i just want to thank you all reginald that you really you know pivot is the magic word you all had to do more you probably had to you almost had to pirouette uh and uh you did uh there are a few there are some of our city departments transportation is another one where we've just had i mean solid waste we know we've had departments just tremendously impacted but you all were really one of those and yet you still managed to get the work done uh on this other aspect and and i think that's great i mean i was really inspired when i saw the chart to think you know yeah we got all this in the pipeline you got it was great to approve the rfp to approve the uh you know like today improving contracts move forward and so just want to express my appreciation that's all thank you madam mayor pro tem thank you mr mayor uh council member freeman thank you madam may approach him i i actually um along those same lines mr mayor was thinking like this is why if we don't get moving on the infrastructure side it's kind of like it took so long it's taken so long just to get this far it's just yeah i am i really appreciate the acknowledgement of how we need to figure out how to do the race equity aspects and building out what that looks like i would love to hear your ideas or any thoughts you have around that i know that um we're gonna talk we're gonna have the team look at it but i think it's important to make sure that the department's thoughts are included in that too well i would just say that it is important for us to be uh inclusive in terms of results and so that's one of the goals that we seek i will share with you there is a need for uh sometimes some technical assistance um and so that's one of the goals and reasons we've talked with the firms uh to be able to provide that in terms of support but also it's not just that it's also um you know all of the firms that we would do work with may not be may not have done business with us before and sometimes it includes uh this is making the firm except that they know that this work is available and open to them and so that's a commitment that that we have that we want to uh to execute on in terms of results i appreciate that uh and i would like to also uh i'm not sure whose liaison to the affordable housing committee is that the is the mayor i don't know that the mayor has appointed a liaison to the former housing implementation committee i have not appointed a liaison to that committee i would formally like to request to be appointed to that committee i i also just note that there's there's so much to build into this conversation acknowledging that the sustainability or the housing um stabilization has to lead into more of the the prevention side of homelessness and so i think this is just like the precursor to where we need to go next and so i would love to to hear from the beginning what they're working on and where they're going because that that i know that the 500 i think it was i'm i'm looking at mr anthony scott's little box but i think it was like 544 million that dha needed and so just acknowledging that these steps whatever needs to to be done to get that all in place is going to be necessary over the next few years so love to be involved with that thank you thank you councilmember other comments or questions council member caballero just real briefly very much appreciate this presentation i know you all have been very busy i know that i have certainly been a council member who has requested a lot of information and uh meetings with you all so just thank you for your uh graciousness um and uh please and we've said this with other departments as you make y'alls asks you know we we don't want the work to slow down and so be honest with us around the capacity of the department and how you continue to do the work ultimately we have to if we want the work to continue to and be as excellent as it has been we have to ensure that the resources are there yes thank you absolutely thank you councilmember uh any other comments or questions councilmember middleton thank you madam mayor pro tem i certainly want to associate myself with all of the comments on this incredibly important critical work that we're doing this is where it meets then you know the rubber meets the road this is what it's about um and serving people and government having impact i did have a note um that i wanted to ask about the the um jobs goal the nearly three thousand jobs as a result of construction operations either you or mr scott um i think he's still around um how obviously you don't have any hard date or anything but how how um soon or or not so soon do you think where we'll see some real kind of numbers posted in terms i know this has to do with you know shovels in the ground and and and projects coming online but the apparatus being in place to make sure we can plug folk into those jobs and that we can meet those goals how how comfortable uh and confident are you folk feeling in terms of meeting that goal based upon where we are now looking down the line and can we expect to see some folk being able to say i work here because of this um what's your sense of the timetable on that uh if you have one sure um mr scott no you you go first and then uh this lotto is going to respond on behalf of the community development department right so there is um a pilot program that we've started to kind of sort of test this out and figure out the kinks that we might have in trying to do this so we do actually have one person that either is or will be starting work and maybe anthony snell can confirm that with me who went through a training program this is our partnership with oewd and cded we we now look to be able to expand that we of course you pointed out councilman middleton that we got to have shovels in the ground before that work can really start and people can actually get employed but that's going to be the key driver we do have a pilot program that we've started we look to fully expand that and the goal and one of the great things about this is as we kind of initially concede this is that we know we're going to have work over the next 10 years um oftentimes you have programs and projects where once the project starts and then it ends and people no longer have jobs to go to but we think with the fact that we have a 10-year window of ongoing work that we should not only see jobs created but we should see that maintained over time not to mention the fact that of course we have a significant need for construction workers in the region so we think what we're starting and what we're doing we should be able to see people get jobs get employed and hopefully see that grow and continue and not just be a short-term thing in terms of numbers we hope to track at it well we would not hope but we will be tracking that as we go um and i think the biggest challenge like a lot of this work is around the the assistance that we're going to need to provide to people who are who are just getting started in this kind of work or who might be having other challenges that might be associated with this work such as you know basic things child care transportation so having the uh i'm going to call caseworkers for lack of a better word is going to be the key at this being successful when it comes to hiring our people from either our our dha communities or from the surrounding communities as a whole mr johnson um if i may um jump in um karen lot of community development middleton i wanted to take a step back and and remind everyone president what that 3000 number represents and how it was communicated during the campaign that 3000 number does not represent new jobs um and i want to be very clear on that what that is and and how it was derived was based on the estimated total development cost of particularly the multi-family side of what we're projecting to do because that's where um it is based on the jobs that will be supported in construction and then based on construction spending in supplies and in services for construction workers using a a an economic multiplier um that is um that is typically used for this kind of modeling so in many cases this will be existing jobs that are then you know deployed on work that is being either directly funded by um the city's housing investment program or indirectly by spending that is happening by people who are being paid on program um we did not establish a concrete goal for new job creation although we will be tracking it um it is part of the uh the scope of work that the consultant will be doing to be tracking actual you know i got a job um on city funded projects and that will include tracking um housing authority projects as well in terms of new job creation thank you so much for that that that is such a critical and important distinction you've made and i'm glad you've made it on the record publicly because it will not surprise you that that's precisely what folks think and hear when we're out moving about in public and and when i get questions and queries about you know affordable housing about even to this day which is why i'm drilling down on the mwb mwbe part in the jobs part because those are kind of the the pieces that folk you know in the public square and just out and about tend to focus on hey where where are the jobs when the jobs that started and which is why i wanted to ask and your your explanation i have to tell i i know it's it's hitting people right now as a very important clarification and there are folk having an aha moment even now um about the job piece on so i want to thank you uh for that um and thank you uh reginald and anthony for the incredible work uh that you're doing this isn't easy um you know this is paradigm shifting groundbreaking work um but but i can think of any other city that would lead the way no matter what comes our way i'm certain that we shall transcend all uh thank you gentlemen appreciate it thank you councilmember any other thoughts or questions from council councilman freeman just one uh just noting that that last point that councilmember middleton made um with uh miss lato is is really really critical in making sure that you drive home what what was laid out and and the bond and what people really understand uh it's it's yeah it i just couldn't couldn't not repeat it because i mean the multiplier that is used for economic development is a fixed number based on projections and the actuals will be based on the work that we do and so i really i'm really excited about the opportunity to push for it but i do want to be very um realistic and acknowledging that that's a projection so thank you yes thank you all right um i think we have done it thank you so much um reginald great presentation and always good to hear more about um all the good work that y'all are doing and yeah we'll make sure to share that website with the folks who are interested in learning more thank you so much we appreciate you all right have we done it i believe that's our last item i think we have the

with that please join me and welcoming the judges judge batty blunt and Justice Balden Dean Walkin hay the judges it makes it sound like we need to take this on the road I love that you can start a podcast exactly Justice Bowden first of all thank you thank you you a million times over um for being here it was somewhat of a professional courtesy from from one judge to another so thank you very much for Lending us your time my pleasure my pleasure so I I wanted to start with history yes um for for me I was a question asker as a child and so I heard a lot of my grandparents stories and so I am very aware that the really the success of of my family came from my grandfather owning one of two black restaurants that black people were permitted to dine at in Columbus Ohio um you know through them telling me about history you know I learned that their restaurant was in the green book in the green book being kind of the guide for black Travelers of that time of restaurants and hotels it was safe to go to I mean the green book was their marketing plan um talk a little bit about your family's history with racism yeah so I I've been very public um about my family's history um because I think it's important to know a person's motivation for engaging especially on this level and for me um I was a question asker but this uh Theory story of my great-grandfather was actually never discussed yes yes in our family um my great grandmother who I had the great Fortune of having until senior year of college oh wow yeah I wonderful wonderful woman um so it was when she was getting older in between her stories and her boys which which were the Tigers baseball game and and looking out a her window and you know making sure everything was on the up and up um she would just start telling me stories she wanted to tell me recipes and uh all all these different things and she told me the story of my great-grandfather Jesse Lee Bond and he was a cotton farmer in Tennessee and he was lynched um in 1939 after asking A store owner for a receipt and um I a question that I usually get is why would someone be lynched for asking for a receip and my response is always it wasn't the receipt it was the audacity right right for um a 19 20 year- old to essentially uh want verification that the store owner was being truthful about what was owed and um how much things cost right um and so a a Lynch Mob ensued and um he Jesse Lee Bond was beaten and castrated and thrown into the local River and the coroner Dean it an accidental drowning and there is a documentary about uh this lynching um called accidental drowning if there's anyone that's interested my family did a wonderful job telling the story of my great-grandfather um but as a result his murders were acquitted of the crime because of the coroner's designation that it was an accidental drowning and in hearing that um I always had a strong sense of justice which I'm sure you did too yeah um I would always my favorite phrase growing up was that's not fair um You probably said it just like that I did I did did my mom say it's time for bed that's not fair because my sister stayed up until you know whatever time when she was my age I literally I I would bring the bring the receipts right so um so hearing that and then there are some other things that happened but it just kind of fueled my sense for justice and realizing that it happened in my own family it made it really real for me that it wasn't just something that happened in history which I knew but that it was only a couple Generations removed from me that government sanction and Justice was the norm right right and isn't it it it is impactful that this is your family story and someone who you love who is a part of your family was the one that told it to you it it wasn't something that you read in a book or you saw in a movie um and so um I would imagine for you like me when your family story is questioned or not received well it it can be very hurtful yeah I I did I did have several people reach out to me and tell me that I was disgusting disgusting for essentially using my family story to try to Garner support and I will say behind the scenes I had to have a really deep conversation with my family members my mother my grandmother who's still living um to make sure that it was okay to tell this story because it had been kept from me until I was an adult in college and so the hurt and the pain and anger that's associated with it is very real and I would have never discussed it without having that conversation with my family because it it's it was difficult for them right right you know it wasn't it wasn't even just just about me but I also had to explain that it is important to tell these stories um it is important for people to know that we are not so far removed and that history can repeat itself if we're not Vigilant and so um you know the comments it it they bothered me at first but then at some point you just get a sense of result which you you have you just have to build up and just say look this is me this is my story this is my family and this is who I am and I I can't shy away from that and if that if you make a decision um to not you know support me or what then that then that just has to be your decision but I can't change what happened in my family and I'm also going to continue to discuss it because I think it's important it's an important part of my story and important to who I am and important to our society as well so um but but there were many conversations about um actually me being vocal about that our my great-grandfather's story and it it can even lead to some um you know knowledge of your history could even lead to some interesting moments in law school um when you're taught you know like constitutional law criminal law Criminal procedure um and and did you like me find yourself sometimes thinking oh but not necessarily for everyone or man how how many things in the Bill of Rights were violated with emit Till case alone right I mean just just so many things and when when when you when you say We the People MH who are we talking about mhh um when when you when you say that women were able to vote which women right were able to vote at a particular time and I I think you know there needs to to be real truthtellah why this is so momentous for a lot of people um for example obviously I'm u i shouldn't say obviously I'm the first black woman to sit on the Michigan Supreme Court for those that that didn't know yes and and and I don't say that for Applause and actually it it kind of makes me cringe because it's 2023 and to me it's just unacceptable right you're taking my next question actually I'm sorry no go ahead go ahead no I'm kidding I'm kid okay I'm sorry unhook the other one just s it on the side okay uh no please go ahead oh no knowing all of that I'm I'm the first black woman on my court too and I just when I re when someone told me that I just never really thought I'm like wow it's it's this century and and they're still first like I just didn't exactly and that that's exactly how I felt or feel still to this day because it's almost you have to celebrate it because of our history but if you don't acknowledge it it's almost as if saying that there was not a qualified black woman before me right and that's not the case um I have supported and and worked towards this goal um for years um because I think representation is so important and so I it's it's really hard for me to say that I'm the first black woman um because I know a lot of the the black women that have that fought so hard for this position um and again it's 2023 this is just unacceptable this just unacceptable so but we just have to make sure that you know we might be the first but that doesn't mean that there's not going to be second thirds and fourths absolutely um so tell me a little bit about your journey to the bench okay um I I know it goes through the State House it does and I I'll skip ahead to that um but well maybe I won't because it I think other things were really important um especially to you all because I know a lot of people see me and they're just thinking or sometimes maybe you're not maybe I shouldn't assume she has it all together you know she's been planning this since she was two years old and um the fact of the matter is um I never intended on going to law school or pursuing a career in law until uh really my senior year and obviously the story of my great-grandmother happened and quite frankly I didn't want to be a psychologist but I got my psychology degree because we're not starting over am I right okay right so I actually had to take a year off because I did not plan to go to law school right after college so I I took a year off studied for the elsat uh went to law school and um and graduated at a time where the economy was absolutely terrible they were talking about making the bar exam even harder to uh reduce the amount of attorneys because there weren't any jobs and so um um I because of the relationships that I buil and being part of bar organizations and things like that I actually had a couple of Judges that pulled me aside and they said you know obviously you take a course for to do to do criminal law to get certified to to get court appointed cases but they said you can take court appointed cases in in my court and that's how I initially got my my start one of the judges that I practi in front of Judge Sheila Johnson who also for Michigan Supreme Court uh we became very very close when there was a job available for uh Judge John a Murphy who I clerked for that job wasn't posted uh he sent it to um one of the bar associations she said you need to apply for this job I'm sending you a recommendation send your application today MH so he ended up obviously I interviewed and sent writing samples but he ended up SEL electing me now again this was a position that that was not posted mhm and so if anybody can Garner anything from this conversation they're going to be there are going to be ve a lot of jobs that are not posted you have to build your network enough that when something comes available you get the call yeah and and and that is just how a lot of it works it is it is who you know obviously you have to be prepared you have to do well you have to be qualified but you also have to be in the room um and because I had been in the room um you know I was referred when I went to um my civil litigation practice that job wasn't posted my partner was actually one of my mentors through a bar association that I was a part of and she had we we had had lunch once a year year and just kept the relationship never expected to work for her but I was clerking as a Judicial law Clerk and she texted me and said hey my law firm's looking for an associate would you be interested I don't know how many other people she texted but I have a feeling that I might have been one of three MH so I very unprofessionally said yes I did I texted her back because we were friends at the time I said I am so sorry I will send my resume close of business and my writing samples and again that's just how a lot of this works and even running for state representative I had to be asked you know I was at my Law Firm job I'm doing civil litigation um I was thinking about maybe running for city council MH definitely running for the State House was not on my radar at all but sometimes people will see something in you that you don't see in yourself and that's why you have to continuously work hard um and it may not be as you know voyous as as others but people are watching you they're watching everything you do and I I'm always a person that just kind of quietly does the work and you know Minds my business so I was asked to run for uh the house multiple times because I said no I've never run a campaign before never never done that um they finally convinced me and I took a leave from my Law Firm job and and thankfully they were supportive um of that and they said if you win um then great if you lose you can come back and that comes from building great relationships that I had with them so I knew I had a safety net um but I also didn't have any income so so I used all my savings and I ended up winning my primary uh with 45% of the vot with five opponents wow um because there was uh when I put my mind to something I'm going to work hard I and it it may not be super loud but I'm going to do what's necessary and so um how we got here I'm I'm I'm I'm just trying to make sure that people know that it wasn't one I wasn't plucked out of obscure because they because people think that a lot about particularly black women in positions of power and so I just want to address that um I I was not plucked out of obscurity and certainly not a token um but I was quietly doing the work in the legislature um I I was able to get five bills passed into law sat on the Judiciary Committee for four years built great relationships within my caucus and on across the aisle um because as you know we we served in the minority so um if you don't have great relationships you don't get a bill pass and that's or if you don't have a good idea you're not going to right you wouldn't have gotten the five no no no no um but some of the bills that I were was able to get pass were just common sense so amending the medically frail act which allowed for parole for um those that were in prison that met the the criteria so people that were in there are people in prison that are in comas that can't get parole because of how the law worked um it's a great use of tax dollars again I I I was just trying to save people money and and help right um the address confidentiality act which um I just read is going into um effect now which conceals the address of victims of sexual violence um and I amended the wrong for imprisonment compensation act so that more people were able to get compensated for um uh if they were wrongly in prison okay so I'm just minding my business quietly doing the work and in June of 2021 I was asked to run for the Michigan Supreme Court and I said no because I am 34 I have a great job that I love in the legislature um I'm making a huge difference for my community and people across the state of Michigan um so I didn't really see a benefit for me to run um much less against two incumbents there were there were a lot of negatives here right mhm and if I didn't win then I would be giving up my my job in the legislature right um but what ended up happening was I got pregnant and as much as my thought process initially was I don't want to run for office a Statewide office while being pregnant while having a full-time job in the legislature as my baby girl grew inside my narrative switched to how could I ever tell my child that she could be anything that she wanted to be and I had the opportunity to have an impact on the Michigan Supreme Court or to just even run for that representation it just means so much to so many people um and I didn't take that opportunity and that weighed with me um so much so that I decided to run so we're here because I didn't want to be a HP hypocrite so I'm I'm sorry sorry right when I put my mind to something um and so that was my journey so you get on the bench MH you're a 34 yearold black woman MH um and and I'm just going to say it too um and you're attractive oh because because I I think being attractive can be tricky for women particularly in a profession like the law and particularly in a judge like a job like judge um being pretty can hurt you because people Auto you know when they think of a judge they think of an older white wise man and that was not you you might have been wise but you know people had to get through a lot of things before they could ever tell whether you were wise or not no that that's very true and I'm also very you know you I'm I'm just also very some as some may describe and this may not be the right word but um I'm I'm very extroverted um some might say bubbly you know I'm very Smiley uh people might some some might say and um I I went somewhere and and and the the person that I was there to see didn't know that I was the justice and and she said you don't look mean judges look mean I would have never known that you were the justice and and so yeah I mean that's that is an extra layer of just I will say this being young people will assume that you're unqualified exactly being a black woman people are going to assume that you're unqualified um being pregnant oh yes M or having young kids people are going to assume that you cannot do the job or what are you doing out here trying to do the job even or you supposed to be yeah yeah go go sit at home and and and bake right and so I definitely had a lot of things that um that I had to to combat as far as a narrative um but I just decided I'm going to be me and I'm just going to bring my full self to the table and I think it's important that in some ways the Judiciary is going to have to change because of me um and and not the other way around um I I think that um I I bring skills and experiences that none of the current justices uh have and I and I think that that's how it's supposed to be that's why there are seven of us to to bring diversity and and thought process because michiganders are not a monolith and neither should our courts and so I am very happy that 1.3 million people saw fit to um to to vote for me in that election but I did still lose so I just I just want to be clear and I acknowledge uh that that I I lost that election and um and then yes was was appointed by the governor so that could not have been easy because you don't travel around an entire State pregnant pregnant um and all that comes with that right um You Don't travel around an entire State pregnant and work that hard for something and not be disappointed yes so how did you get back up you know I I I at that point well let me start by saying when I entered the race I knew that there was a very very high likelihood that would make it right so I I'm not I don't think that I'm just that great that o overcoming two incumbents is very very difficult to do and I knew that going in um again for me it was important that representation was at the table so that we can continue to move the the needle but um I did work very hard and um you know I went to the up when I was seven months pregnant and then two months postpartum and some of you may know that I I accepted the nomination for Michigan Supreme Court 6 days after giving birth so yeah oh yeah yeah yeah wow there are videos there are videos of that um at Kyra H Balden follow me on social media um but yeah so I I I I got up and in and did a speech and just you know just accepted the nomination so um worked EXT extremely hard so it was very disappointing uh for me when I didn't win even though I knew all the odds were stacked against me um but I was almost instantly uplifted and it was funny because I was still getting phone calls of I'm so sorry and I was and but I looked at the numbers and like I said when 1.3 million people take the time to I'm sorry I'm I'm I'm still like a year postpartum so I get emotional very quickly but um you know with 1.3 million people in Michigan took the time to bubble in my name and so I was instantly uplifted because it that is such an honor in and of itself that even though I lost um that election um it it just it it really it really touched me that that my message resonated with people um for for those types of numbers well if you got 1.3 million votes pregnant imagine what happens next time I know you know when your feet aren't swollen I know yes yes absolutely so I want to talk to you a little bit about um what you see in the future yeah you know our um you know even within the law you know our nation is very polarized right now on lots of different things um you know there are a lot of people that are feeling disillusioned particularly about um the laws impact on racism yes tell me um having served on the bench now having gone from the legislative branch to the judicial branch what's your take you know I I am just so hopeful because even just looking at this audience um this audience could be anywhere doing anything right now and you're taking the time to listen to the both of us and I just have so much hope for the future um what I have seen from this generation has been amazing the level of enthusiasm the level of activism and the level of demanding change um it it just uplifts me I am so inspired uh by this next Generation Um by my own generation too I guess we're still technically young but um but definitely by the by by the Next Generation just the level of being involved um knowing what's going on and fighting for what what uh they believe in um I I think our future is in good hands and I'm I'm very very hopeful how would you say um you know because these are students at the University of Michigan one of you know very well-respected University and I'm saying that even though I'm from Ohio but anyway um you know what would you tell them Jess as balen about preparing themselves for leadership you know I've talked in both of my my classes teaching here like you have to be prepared for when you are the decision maker talk a little bit about that yeah I would just say mentorship is so important for you to be a mentor and for you to have mentors I have mentors that are younger than me uh you know so I'm not talking about age someone that has a different experience than you that you can learn from from and always be concerned about imparting your knowledge on somebody else you can't be in the competition mindset because you never know where your career will take you who you'll run into um and what will be a full circle moment um for example um Justice Bridget Mary McCormick who was a professor here who was um my predecessor um her campaign was the first campaign I ever worked on okay and she robed she robed me the first time I put on a robe she literally took off her robe and put it on my back that's a very special moment it was you can go to Kyra H Balden on Instagram to see that video too no um but it was a wonderful full circle moment and I've had those throughout my career and so networking getting to know as many people as possible um mentors ship but you also have to learn to follow before you can lead and I know that's going to be unpopular to say but how do you know what you like what you don't like what your style might be if you haven't had those experiences um so the judge that I worked for um was a baby boomer or he is a baby boomer he's he's still alive he's just retired um he he is a is a baby boomer and so it was get to the office before you don't leave until the judge leaves you know it was very very stringent and I loved having that experience because now I understand how I run my Chambers is just a little bit different right you know I always had to call the judge judge never you know by their first name so my staff called me Kyra M um but but I'm glad I had those experiences with different bosses or different partners or whatever um so that I knew my style of how I wanted to lead and not to say that anything that anybody did was bad I had really good experiences but I was just able to hone my own leadership skills by being a a a good employee being a good follower being a good mentee MH I am teaching this semester a class um on State and local courts and one of the things that I've talked a lot about in my class is that you know yes it is easier to study federal law particularly when it comes to like criminal justice but there are so many areas that impact every PE everyday people's lives that are exclusively a matter that's in state courts um the the courts you're most likely to come in contact with our traffic court which is a local court and unfortunately divorce court so Justice Bowden what is what's your take on the importance of state and local courts in our society well you know for me because I lived in the state of Michigan my entire life and I also had the benefit of making laws right and so being someone that interprets sometimes the law that I voted on um I I think it is is really important um I think Federal um jurist Prudence is is you know little little little bit more sexy you oh it is uh but the state law and how it's interpreted is really what's going to affect your lives what has affected your parents' lives and what will affect future generations to come and so that the the decisions that the Michigan Supreme Court make absence you know some intervention um at the uh United States Supreme Court level um you know that is binding on the people that live here and so you should absolutely pay attention to who your judges are certainly uh because they are going to be making the decisions about your life um how you get sentenced right um judges have a lot of discretion but certainly with cases that come to the Michigan Supreme Court we hear the most important and impactful cases for michiganders and I think it's really important for people to pay attention not only to how we're voting but uh but the cases that are coming up how we're voting but also the temperament of each judge or justice as well is incredibly important absolutely I think the um you know my prediction is that and it might already be happening in in Michigan I think in o Ohio it will definitely happen and that is you know once the Dos decision sent the question about abortion back to the states that was always going to go through state and local courts um once the decision went back to the States and and even with Ohio there was an amendment constitutional amendment passed recently and so I'm telling people it doesn't matter what side you're on it doesn't matter whether you agree the importance of the Ohio Supreme Court is going to really come into play so you better pay attention absolutely and we've already we've already seen that here um we we passed an amendment um there there have been um lawsuits in the past um different decisions uh that that have been made um that have been really impactful um on michiganders and it's how the laws were inter interpreted it might be a constitutional amendment but sometimes those things come to our Courts for interpretation uh because they can't catch everything in a constitutional amendment they can't catch a former lawmaker here they don't catch everything um there's literally no way to contemplate every single situation that will arise when you're crafting a law and so uh a lot of that is going to end up in the courts for interpretation right and how it's interpreted matters and it will be binding on how you live your life exact especially your court yes especially your court well yours too because you know 90 but 90 something perc will go to the to the court of appeals right that's true you know and we we take up probably you know uh two or 3% of of court of appeals Appeals um but for us n 90 to 98% will stop at the court of appeals that's true that's true I think the Ohio Supreme Court when they looked at at least my Court's District they took 5% of the cases that were appealed from from my court so you're right I need to give myself more credit yes ABS appeals so I I wanted to talk to you about um running for judge um you know the electoral process um because it it was very different I'm sure than when you ran for the State House you have many more rules and you're running Statewide versus a a state house district how how was that very different very different but kind of the the same it's strange um you always always want to talk to as many people as possible um obviously going from a district of 990,000 to um 3 million is uh is a challenge is a feat um but for me when I was in the district it was I'm knocking on 10,000 doors right you know when when I when I was in the state house it was literal door knocking and asking people for support um that doesn't work as well on a state level as you imagine a lot of do so it it's it's it's different tactics but as a judge um obviously or I should say Let me let me step back when you're running for a legislative position people expect you to have an opinion on everything on every single thing um if you don't post a holiday people are going to be in your inbox right um you you you have to be at a lot of different events and and and things like that and being a judge um obviously you're restricted from uh you can engage in partisan activities because you you still have your first amendment rights but um it's a nonpartisan position and and you have to make sure that you're not being um you know too disproportionate in in in in where you go and what you do we also have Jud cannons um that prohibit you from engaging in certain levels of speech um and and things like that um because you are you not allowed to ask for money not allowed to ask for money yeah we're not allowed to ask for money either which I won't comment uh but but as a legislator that's that's a big part of your job that's a huge part it's a huge part of your job is to ask for money um and so that is very very different so what you can say the asking for money um where you can go very very different it can be awkward too I found you know people want you to they don't necessarily realize you are not a policym maker as a judge we interpret the law other people make the law yes um and so I've I found that some voters would get frustrated because I could not State a position on a a a certain policy did you have the same experience oh absolutely and especially because I was still in the legislature oh you know um so now it's a little bit easier but people know me as a legislator so I think sometimes people just ask me just different questions because they're expecting that I know or have a response and when I you know they'll say what's going on with hb42 and I one I can't answer you right but two I have no clue what the legislature is doing okay and you shouldn't I'm just trying I'm just trying to get through my cases uh right and I shouldn't and and that's that's the difference so um it's it's I think people are starting to understand the message now but I realize there has to be a lot more education around the role of Judges yeah a lot of people think we are policy makers and so I've I've had people say can you get my um family member out of prison I I can't no I can't um you know they're they're asking for commutations and that that is the governor's office and um so I feel like it's getting a little bit better but I'm hoping that through service in the way that I'm doing it I can also educate people on why this branch of government is important but also are limitations and where they need to go to find uh the change that they're looking for I you know I understand that some people's attention was brought to the judicial branch because they were angry about something that the US Supreme Court did but I'm still thankful that at least they're paying attention more now yes I I'm very thankful and it gives me an opportunity to educate more people as to why our courts are so important I think in Michigan we dispose of probably 3 million cases per year you know on on different levels um but that's a lot of people affected right uh in our society um and so our our branch is incredibly important but we can't can't get anybody out of jail you know you can't fix parking tickets we can't fix Park I don't know anything about your divorce either yeah yeah thank you louder for the people in the bag we can't fix parking tickets right um and we also don't make laws so people have asked me you know what are you doing about Criminal Justice Reform for example and you know I I there are some things we can do obviously at the Supreme Court level but as far as like uh you know I think what they're asking for is more so policy and so then I have an opportunity to educate them and so you know it's it's interesting in my class I'm always thinking what do I want policy makers to know about the courts um one of my big things Justice Balon is that you always have to think about you can have a grand idea but you always have to think about the administration of it you have to think about who's going to pay for it and you know you might be in an urban County having this great idea but is this great idea going to fit in a rural County um so talk a little bit about that yeah I I I'm sure you have done this too or or it might be a possibility but we actually there it's hard to say what you would do on the front end of things just because I know how the sausage is made and how it's not made uh and so it's just really hard to say every every legislator just like every judge has a different philosophy and some people are really just hyper concentrated on their district and honestly if it affects the rest of the state of Michigan negatively they're okay with that I'm not saying whether that's right or wrong just saying that's a philosophy and some are very um concerned with um you know the state of Michigan as a whole and even if it's not so great for my district is is good for the overall State I will say that um in some of our opinions at the Supreme Court if there are any policy um makers listening we write love letters sometimes we just say you know this is an area where the legislature should probably take a look and you know what Justice B you know what I would like policy makers to know is how hard it is to get language like that in an opinion yes because other judges will fight you yes because really what you're doing is just saying here's how you fix it um but you can't be advisory right so some sometimes I wish that bers would appreciate what it takes to get them those answers yes yes or or I mean it's just you know just just a little note and saying you know this is the conclusion that we came to um because of the way the law is written um but it might be slightly illogical so yeah because again we interpret the law we interpret the law and we're we're Bound by that so um so I would say you know legislators hopefully have someone designated to read our opinions and even if we don't write a love letter if it if we're interpreting in a way that the legislature did not intend um then I think it's incumbent upon the legislator L to address it right to fix it you know um so sometimes they do and sometimes they don't I can say as being a former legislator a lot of times the the judicial branch is just not even on the radar it's just Furthest Thing from their minds um I think in general though our profession is one where people we're in the shadows until someone needs us yes until someone is in front of us and that's why like I always say when you're in front of the judge it's too late to worry about who the judge is and and that's what I I tell people we are really the back end of of the judicial process um when you're talking about when the laws are conceived that's really where you want to get in on the the ground floor because by the time it gets to us and you're relying on our interpretation we're we're at the we're at the back end especially app pellet levels like we are yes because we are bound a lot of times by what happened on that first level exactly so yes by the time it gets to the Supreme Court level you are several levels removed um from the conception of of whatever that law was um that's affecting you um and and so you got to get in on on on the the front end of things right I totally agree well if you don't mind we will open it up to some um a question and answer period if anyone has any questions for us well I shouldn't volunteer for justice bould no I'm kidding hello thank you guys both for coming today this was really really inspiring and really educational my name is mave I'm a junior in the Ford School of Public Policy um and I'm currently taking a comparative law class um and we've talked a lot about civil law about a bunch of different families of law um but about civil law and common law um specifically and you guys both touched a little bit on like the history of your family um and how that shaped you both going into law but also people and I guess I'm wondering how does that impact of like your own family's history your own lived experience um kind of inform your like your position on the court and in the courts because you talked about representation and how important that is and I guess I'm just thinking about the role of Judges both in like common law and civil law and how like civil law there's so much more removed um and how you think that's really impactful in the system that we have in the US judge um you know I think for one honestly our existence is essential um because I know when you go into the courthouse in my county and you look at all the judges pictures everyone is going to see someone who looks like them and in my mind from the time you see those pictures to the time you're going up to the courtroom your perception of Justice can change after having seen those pictures knowing that there's somebody in a position of authority that looks like you um that might understand the issues that you face uh and things like that so number one I think our very existence and you know you you can't be what you don't see right um so I think that that's huge uh I also think it is imperative that judges go out and tell people what they see from the bench because you can go to any Courthouse anywhere and see what's happening in the community so for example when I first took the bench I first took the bench during the Foreclosure crisis and I was running around blabbing around town that I yes I saw some people that signed some mortgage pay papers where I was like o i not sure how you thought that was going to work but I also saw those people that were choosing between medical bills in their mortgage that both were true um right now our courts are still seeing the impact of coid and the impact of coid on courts is everywhere everywhere from should I have gotten a ticket for an expired license when the bmbs were shut down all the way to I can't fulfill the terms of my divorce because my business shut down and I can't pay the child support to um I'm a lawyer who was trying to stall and you should have given me a continuance because it was Co and that's my convenient excuse so um judges who are willing to go out and talk about what they see reflect Ed from the community in the court is is essential because you know I know for me you would never think it would take bravery to say this but it does it takes bravery for me to say in our current times that there are both people from whom the public needs protection and people who deserve a second chance depending on who I'm talking to that is radical but you have to have the people who say I'm on the bench this is what I'm seeing um please take my word for it because it's lived experience yeah I I I even though we are interpreting the law we bring our lived experiences to the table um and then that might be in a way that we run our Chambers um that might be how we interact with individuals um like it's import me to do these types of events I probably do two to three events per week even now because I think it's important for people to see me um and to um you know just just know a little bit about me um there are other judges and Justice that have different philosophies you know that believe that you know they should be hidden and not seen and they should make a decision and then go back and do whatever they want to do I have a different philosophy right um you know I think it's very clear that um I'm a Believer in in second chances and things like that now does that mean that you know the law is clear you know the the law is going to be the law but that might cause me to um you know go to you know be present at a reunification day right um because I believe that if you worked really hard you should be able to have your children back right it it may not manifest itself in um in ways that you think it might um but I will also say uh you know there's seven justices on my court we don't always agree because we're looking through the lens that that we have U I'm sorry about these is it is it okay um so some of our decisions will be 43 or 52 um and that's partially because someone will say well you know when I was a judge this is how it worked and sometimes I'm I'm thinking well if we're doing statutory interpretation I used to be a legislator and so I know the thought process that goes into making the law right and so I I can sometimes bring that experience to the table so that's why it's important to have a diverse court with people that have different lived experiences because it really does um make a difference and I just want to say also shout out to Pete Martel who was one of my first law clerks so good to see you hi my name's arama I'm in the law school thank you so much for this talk it's been really fascinating um one question that I have is I'm a I'm in my third year so next semester is my last semester and I feel like one of the things that has most surprised me about law school is the fact that there is so little focus on like state and local issues despite them constituting so much of where like people actually interact with the legal system so like I feel like there's a shortcoming in legal education when we're not even really getting exposed to these issues can you talk about for each of you like how you found your way into this partic like You' kind of talked about it but like how you found your way into F like focusing in state and local issues and then also like what you think law schools can do to better prepare students for practicing for like focusing on these kinds of issues when they like so much of the focus is on federal law but so much stuff is actually happening at the state and local level thanks can that be um an advertisement for judge batty Blunt's state and local courts class in the public policy school yes please please um you know as we've discuss you know State local courts are very important it's you know it's easy especially for a school like Michigan where your students are just going to go everywhere you know it is easier um and probably more efficient to to focus on the federal um one thing that you know if I could be like Nas and rule the world I would um change law school a little bit I would make law school a little bit closer to medical school because you know how medical I wouldn't make it four years though so and this isn't totally thought out so don't hold me to this totally but you know you know how medical school they have like two years of classroom instruction and then they have two years of uh rotating through different areas of medicine um I would make law school um closer to that because even I have a lot of Law School School classmates that kind of fell into their areas of practice um one of my friends just really couldn't get a summer internship after first year and just accepted a job and ended up loving it and that's what she's practicing um at the same time a lot of people who want to be uh prosecutors or public defenders uh law schools don't have a lot to offer them in the way of career service is because you know it tends to be so a law firm focused so I would change legal training to make it a little bit broader um I also would change some thinking out there that where you went to law school and how much money you make is directly correlated to how smart you are right right um because now that I've been on the bench and remember I spent 10 years you know I was 10 years Law and Order you know I was no I wasn't Bing a gav nobody bangs a gavl but you know I had Witnesses next to me and I'm dealing with the jury and and all of that and so you know I I have seen my impression is that sometimes where someone went to law school is really not reflective of how smart they were but just more a question of opportunity um and that opportunity can go both ways so sometimes you don't have the opportunity to go to an IV Le for whatever reason and sometimes you do have the opportunity to go for whatever reason so I would not put as much stake in where you went to law school as a judge of whether or not you're a good lawyer um I also have seen from that trial court experience you know they have the reputation as public Pretenders instead of public defenders or you know whatever name you want to call them and it's a very frustrating experience to see someone give up a good public defender scr up all their money to pay someone who's not as good as the public defender was um so we have to be very careful um about law legal education but also the attributes that we put towards people after they get out and and I wholeheartedly agree um from what from speaking to a lot of my former my former law school colleagues a lot of people just really fell into their career because that's just where the opportunity was and so they were looking for the j a job and the Prosecutors office called them first or the law firm called them first and and that's and that's kind of uh where where they went um I think law schools can provide a little bit more exposure to different areas um so I I knew one person in law school that had clerked for the Michigan Supreme Court but you know how do you do that you know um and I will say a lot of these jobs are not posted right um I post just by the way you can you can go on the Michigan Supreme Court right now um we WE Post our internships and our clerkships um um but I would say and I'm not an advocate for unpaid labor by any means but Shadow People in turn with them because it will save you so much time and money down the line to figure out what you don't want to do uh I thought at one point I might want to do family law not for me it's just not for me oh yeah just not for me it's just not for me love love hate money and children it's it's the recipe for Dynamite it's everything that people care about those are the hardest cases that or some of the hardest cases we receive at the Supreme Court level so um but you don't know what you don't know right and so for me being an a Judicial clerk in the busiest county in the state of Michigan and the Civil level I was able to see what I naturally gravitated to and what cases I loved working on and disposing of and talking to my judge about and so I was able to be a little bit more strategic because I I saw a lot of areas of law uh before I went to a law firm and so when I did go to my Law Firm um I did a little bit of everything I I I did Defense work I did Insurance defense I did corporate litigation I did labor and employment law and I liked doing all that because I knew what I liked from clerking and so definitely I think clerking is amazing um I I think that might be one of the the things that um law schools can incorporate is just pushing uh or suggesting or making more opportunities available to clerk so you know what you do and you don't want to do um again not an advocate for unpaid labor but it will save you so much time and money down the road if you know what you do not want to do I've also noticed um um that I'll just say people younger than me um seem to appreciate more learning um not through like reading books and articles they seem to learn uh to enjoy learning better from the people that are doing it so like you'll see in my class there another uh tag for me anyway um that you will see a lot of guest speakers because I there is no benefit like learning from the people who are doing it but I will also go back to one of my points that I made originally which is that you know if that is how you like to learn again prepare yourself to be the decision maker you know be ready for when it's your turn to change legal education to what you think it should be so thank you so much for this uh this conversation this is just so rich on many levels so at the University of Michigan we have a nonpartisan initiative called yish votes that really focuses on um encouraging uh civic participation and one of the things I was struck by is how difficult it is to get information on judicial candidates outside of the Supreme Court so I remember from my own experience looking up the Supreme Court candidates and there was information available but the lower courts you go in the court system you go it's really hard to get any kind of sense of uh people's credentials or records or stances on things why is that and I know Ohio has been doing something to change that where you were telling me judge batty blunt that there's there's a initiative underway to that that allows people to do more research but in Michigan can you just speak to that what's the reason for that what's the remedy for that um because I'm struck by when we go into the the pallot room how little we know about Judges outside of some of the highest positions want me to send you the website of what they do in Ohio Yes actually yes it is an issue and it's hard for me to answer that the the simple answer is because because people don't have to because people will get elected without having a website because people will get elected uh without going to community events and so there's no motivation for people to do that unless that's demanded of people um through um you know through how they they show support the other issue is um in and maybe the first election but judges in Michigan have six-year terms so by the time you know six years rolls around and you can get an incumbency designation now I'm not not saying anything about incumbency designation but it does signify who has been there and so a lot of people may not think to look up information if they haven't heard anything negative I think the assumption is uh well they're an incumbent I haven't heard anything they must be doing a good job so then there's no motivation to create a website and and and do all these things because you know they're doing their job and there's really no system that you know that that is a a check on that right like like there is for some of partisan um people but I would say I think League of Women Voters is starting to do more candidate forums um for judges and so you can look up um information on their website about um participation and I would say if they do have a website but not a lot of information email them call them send a message through the website and say hey can you can you answer my questions when's your next Community event where will you be I would like to speak with you knowing that they can't answer certain questions but just say hey I would like to meet you and see how many people are willing willing to do that it's interesting you talk about they do in Ohio well it seems like the lack of information is partly because of the retention election system so you know in in Michigan once you become a judge your the ne the question on the ballot is you should we keep you versus for me I get a fresh opponent every six years um so it's a little bit different even what you're going to do in between elections because I don't just get to sit back and say I'm the incumbent don't you think you should keep me you know as you know I'm out there saying hey I'm Laurel will you help me keep my job it's a it's a completely different calculation so if I'm running for a retention election yeah I probably don't I might not want to work that hard because I don't have to um so in Ohio the League of Women Voters um partnered with the blit Bliss Institute I think is out of the University of akan and they have something called judicial votes count and you can go it it almost functions how a lot of Board of Elections websites function where you can go and put your address in there and it all the judicial candidates that you're voting on um pop up side by side so you can do a a comparison between the two still though you still have the judicial Cannon so everyone gets on there and says I'm Fair everyone gets on there and says I'm officient like so it it's still can be a little bit difficult but unfortunately in our very polarized Society there can be buzzwords in there that that let you know um where someone falls on certain issues and I will say to there are a lot of organizations that do endorsements and so if there is an organization that you know you you visit their website quite frequently that makes endorsements um I know a lot of organizations are starting to endorse in judicial races a lot more so that might give you a little bit of a sense at least where to go or to find out more information about um a a particular person but it is difficult because we are bound by our our judicial cannons and um that's how you want your judges you want them to be fair and impartial um right so um but I would encourage you know all Jud as if they're up to have a website and a way for people to contact them and all I can do is just try to lead by example and um but but it is it is difficult I would also say again because like I said so many times people don't care about Judges until they're in front of one um but here's the thing you know it takes a lot of effort to find that information I get it but when you think about I'm picking the person that if I got divorced would make the de decision about how my property would be divided if you think about I'm making a decision about who would decide if I'm a victim of a crime how much restitution I would get the person who's making the decision about my neighbor dispute the person who's making the decision because I feel my doctor did something wrong the people who are making the decision about whether it's constitutional to carry a gun in a certain place or in a certain way so when you think about it on a decision level I think it's worth the work to figure out who who's going to be up there oh and I will say that um getting your absentee ballot is actually it's not actually it's very helpful because then you have all the candidates ahead of time and you can you know do your own research with the ballot um and so I mean but that's for any candidate not necessarily judicial but if you do have any questions and it's harder when you get to The Ballot Box and you're like wait who is this person I've never heard of them and they have a incumbency designation you're like well I haven't heard anything about them I'll just vote for them it is a lot easier if you have your absentee ballot and you can um you know Google everybody before you vote because I bet that you have probably heard some kind of scary reasons people voted for you I remember someone telling me your yard sign was in my neighbor's yard and they always keep their grass cut so I voted for you um or my my second grade teacher's name was Laurel and I really liked her so I voted for you yeah no um I can't think of I would I would say for us because in Ohio I'm not sure if you have straight ticket voting in Ohio but we have it in Michigan and so for me obviously we're in the nonpartisan category but you can vote straight tickets so you're voting for all of the people in a particular political party yeah it's like press all you just you just circle one you just circle one and it it just votes for everybody in the the partisan section under that party right oh okay but a lot of people didn't realize and especially because I had come from a political world that you have to vote separately in the nonpartisan section and you actually have to bubble in the names in the partisan nonpartisan section and so people would come to me and say I vot a straight ticket I got you and you're like no you don't look actually you left me hanging you left me hanging you left me hanging so that was that was kind of the one of the the biggest biggest things that I'm just like wow we need more education um see and it's a little bit different in Ohio now we used to have straight nonpartisan judicial elections but now Ohio Supreme Court and the court of appeals only have party affiliation on the ballot trial courts do not interesting and it's it's interesting too because the way that the districts are set up you know Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati those districts are just that those one counties and so um you had a lot of Judges that had no idea what was going to happen with their election because of how their District fell between Republicans and Democrats so they didn't know what was going to happen especially the first time we had the party affiliation on the ballots wow so we have party affiliation and we also you can't serve as a judge after 70 yes yes so we we do have um the age restriction after 70 and at the Supreme Court here it's weird we don't have party affiliations but you have to be nominated by a political party unless you're an incumbent I know I know I know so this is why if I'm an incumbent I'm like so that's why there's more information yeah that's why there's more information about the Supreme Court because you're not dominated by um a political party so you know it's there's a different system in there then but that doesn't apply for our court of appeals or lower lower courts but uh but but you still you're but you're nonpartisan and you're there's no party affiliation on your ballot oh okay that yeah it's much more complicated who that do anybody know that okay yes in the back so that's how it works yes other question hi um I'm Shane I'm a freshman um and I'm a reporter with the Michigan Daily um so we've heard Supreme Court Justice John Roberts say that judges are like umpires um they just call balls and Strikes um so what are your thoughts on his View and how it relates to important sweeping cases that are coming up into the state court specifically um relating to Reproductive Rights and election laws I think he was right I mean that's that's how our government is set up you know and and that's part of um the transition into getting on the bench is because you've gone from you know player to referee you've gone from Advocate to judge at the end of the day we do not make laws we interpret them and so we have to stay in our lane uh essentially um I think that you know they're on just as bold level it's a little bit different um because where I served you know that trial court you know you're the the judge who's taking in the facts and dealing with the jury and things like that so on that first level though a lot of the facts are set so then you move to the second era um area court of appeals where I am now that court is a court of error what we're doing is just to make sure that our colleagues on the first level didn't mess something up now where things can get changed is on the Supreme Court um and so you know even then though you're still still yeah not make you might be interpreting what a word means but you're not the one putting the word in there right and and that makes all a difference and I and I will say to yes we are umpires but um I shouldn't say but and I know that everyone has watched a game and a referee has made a call and everybody in the stands are like what I can't believe that that's not how I saw things right and so yes we are umpires and uh we call balls and Strikes that doesn't mean that someone else won't see it differently and that's why you have decisions um that are not uniform on um On My Level or on the United States Supreme Court level um so we call it like we see it and um that might be different from each other and it's why we sit in groups on the appell level yes you know I think another thing that's so important to remember is that you know judges don't fix things judges resolve disputes and there's a difference because in the the murder criminal case you can't fix it because you can't bring somebody back you know in a medical malpractice case if somebody or a car accident case or something somebody gets really seriously injured you can't fix it all you can do is resolve the dispute um and you have to keep that difference in mind because it it helps you stay in your judicial branch of government Lane question right hello thank you guys so much for this presentation it's been amazing um my name is Audrey Thedford I'm a senior at the Ross School of Business and I'm also member of alphaa alpha St Incorporated beta Ada a chapter so hello Sor um but I first of all I just want to say it's been so inspiring ing to see both of you I know you said um you can't be what you can't see and like I never thought I would see this in my lifetime so it honestly makes me really emotional and I just want to thank you guys again for just being here and doing what you do um but I wanted to talk about how you guys talked about your personal philosophies and how sometimes people interpret what you do as radical and I know here at the University of Michigan we around a lot of smart college students with very different perspectives that it can kind of make you really rethink your own and what is right and on top of impostor syndrome it can just be kind of hard to have confidence in your own philosophy so I'm curious how you guys have gotten confidence in defending and pushing your own philosophies in your positions and if you have any advice for us on how to do that in our personal personal life and like when we become leaders further on um you know first first of all I will point out to you that you are seeing 49y old Laurel you're not seeing 19yearold Laurel you know what I'm so you can't don't compare yourself to us first of all you see what I mean because all of the experiences that we've talked about tonight is what made us who we are you know um and getting through certain experiences you know when I was appointed judge three days of negative press right but I got through it and you know having that experience of I don't didn't know if somebody was coming at me with racism agism sexism I mean any of them you know or any combination and like that's when I discovered you put your head down and do the work and that's because otherwise you're just going to spend a whole lot of time trying to convince people that you could do this job right but I had that experience and now I'm here telling you and you might have that experience and you might say yeah that lady named Laurel said that she went through this too but she sat there and told me about it so it's possible to get through it I have also again being 49y old Laurel um I see how different experiences things are getting things are changing um I was the first person to um in my court to have a baby while serving and I it was difficult but I saw already the the next woman who got pregnant while she was serving had a had a less difficult time than I did so I've lived 49 years and so i' I have the opportunity to look back and see you know how some of those sticky situations um worked out for the best right um I would say one of the greatest ways that I have learned about myself and um overcome impostor syndrome is watching who I am around um sometimes even watching the TV I watch and the music I listen to um but I can say like honestly Dean Watkins Hayes um I knew her at Spellman and so having a group of friends through all these years um through uh her getting her PhD me getting uh being in law school another friend going to medical school our fourth friend went to business school um we all pushed each other we all you know all in the Midnight Hour were there to say you're not as bad as you think you are you know so for me that has um really been helpful as well as um not accepting shade from trees that don't bear fruit I'm taking that way I'm taking that one uh I think I read that on Facebook one time but it I'll attribute that to you but it's it's so true it's so true because if you think about it no matter if it's external or internal a lot of times the the voice that's telling you no you can't or whatever is a tree that doesn't bear fruit you know what I mean I the the best part of me is very positive the best part of me encourages myself the best part of me also knows what I'm not good at uh and so I think that that um has all has helped me and and I would also again emphasize to you you know just look at us and just be like girl goals or whatever that H the hashtag is lately you know because again you know we probably had the same fears and doubts or whatever when we were your age too um I would I would give a couple nuggets a lot of people ask me do I have impostor syndrome and no I don't um I don't uh not this point I can't say that I never did I did at one point but at this point I do not um because I know how hard I worked I know what it took to get here um and so one thing I have always told myself even when I doubted myself was you might have a different skill set than me but no one's going to work harder than me nobody and I wholeheartedly believe that in myself and that doesn't mean I win every single time but once I'm done I will say no one works worked harder than me and that's just my self motivation but Justice Balon think about it you lost so well that you got the appointment got appointed you know yeah right right and and we I I think we can all agree if I did not do well I would not have got pointed right um but I will also say critics rarely make the history books too when someone tells you you can't do something they're looking from their lens of inability not yours mhm because only you know what you're capable of doing because you have something inside of you telling you that you should be doing X Y and Z and you've gotten to the place that you've gotten to because of you your work ethic your family support system all of these things and so someone that would not dare do what you have done or trying to do telling you what you can't do cannot infiltrate you to the point where you doubt yourself you just it just it just can't um and that's kind of the point that I got to when I'm when I'm running for Michigan Supreme Court and someone's telling me I'm unqualified I'm doing something that you wouldn't dare to do that many people who may be qualified are not daring to do so I can't accept that criticism um because I'm the one that's out here trying um the the third the third thing is um you I forgot oh what my third thing it was good too I I got one though while you think of it yes I I'll tell you and I'll give credit to my friend Elizabeth BL McCormick who when when she was asked about impostor syndrome you know what she says to herself you know cuz imposter syndrome you're saying why me right she she says why not me why not why not me and when you when you turn your mindset like that you know even asking the question it emboldens you you know I don't remember what I was going to say but that was a good that was a good it was going to be good too it was oh and Elizabeth is your Sor too M we love the pink and green uh but but yeah no I I oh and you also have to determine whether the critique is coming from a place of Love or coming from a place of trying to stunt your growth that is really hard to discern um but it will always be revealed and so when certain people tell me certain things and it's a critique and and you know saying Kyra you really need to step it up here you need to do better I know they're saying it out of love after I won my second election and my primary I went with 90% of the vote you know my mom said we need to find those 10% we we have to find those 10% I said Mom I don't think we can do that you know Mom that's called to SmackDown and but I knew it was coming from a place of love that it wasn't that you weren't that she wasn't saying I wasn't good enough obviously but you could have done better but in a place of love um and then there are people that just told me I shouldn't run for state representative because I was too young start at school board you're not qualified to run for state representative you've never served in public office um you know you don't have the credentials you don't whatever whatever and see that is a baby boomer way yeah that you know what I mean to wait in line wait your turn wait your turn oh my goodness if I had a dollar wait your turn but I had to realize that those people that said that to me didn't know me so you couldn't tell me if I was qualified or not you don't know me um you don't know what I'm capable of and um I don't have to wait my turn so unfortunately we got the signal don't wait your turn I'm going to leave it at that because I I want to end it on that because I really appreciate that line and I so so so um appreciate you coming here and had such a lovely time talking with you thank you so much everyone for [Applause] coming	Ford School of Public Policy	UCX3nrxx0QvBLjsN2uU0WS4Q	2023-11-14	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

boy oh boy you know what you sure may a splash water performance bet Cameron's head is still swimming ha ha all right decent puns now then but see what else there is to this place I almost lost that bad one was it [Music] twenty three the four times now [Music] pinky the I am [ __ ] at you yeah let's look at that to the MB to Scott it's a special or fiscal [Music] special I have a stronger than bubbly [Music] nothing else in here work teach my book on [Music] but then wrapped and other than wrapped in that's about it Brockton is a chance Ernest that I really just don't like that move [Music] so there's somewhere else to go obviously because the oceans blocking me and [Music] I can't go inside here obviously [Music] I wish something told me this update was done with the game or that I could continue by I'm gonna see if I can't continue [Music] damnit [Music] so Licari you know if I had a pool in the gym before they will not been able to touch me [Music] another level up [Music] knock-knock [Music] this should be the last area of this game that gym badge and everything but I don't know if that's entirely true [Music] looking at getting off of there we see here you know let me go to my pop here Matt so we we were just here we can't go down obviously we can't go down here those are the only two areas we can't we have Bing it so let's see let's Jim there's something up there I doubt there's anything Passover here or like anywhere else I've got to cross votes I can't go down right over there route 22 there's nothing in do down there why our temple I don't know is that the last part of the game because before back in Pokemon a fool not a theory gates of one but one Pharaoh gates actually told you that the update was done the Pokemon what was a call Phoenix Rising [Music] everyone thinks rising while there was [Music] it really it didn't show you that company was really done with it kind of did because of luck you're less area that you need to go to in order to progress right now just try figure something out [Music] are denied to little flying type I guess I'm even now [Music] can move down there [Music] man okay so yeah I guess that's basically done from the update I can't go through your cycling road I can't take the freakin train I probably explore and see what else we can do but I don't know if there's anything else so this is gonna be it for now if there's anything else I can I can try and get into I'll see about it for now guys that's gonna be it for the updates of pokemon sage don't take my word for them I keep looking around but yeah that's I want sage one point now well guys we'll be back and I put my RAM to play through momentarily so stick around for that anyways see ya

IXZi0_Ls8vo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXZi0_Ls8vo	Omilian Calculus: Pythagorean Theorem, Special Triangles	let's start with the pythagorean theorem if i have a right triangle and one leg is three the other is four the hypotenuse is five i can make a square out of both of the legs and a square out of the hypotenuse and i find that the area of the small square plus the area of the large square is equal to the area of the hypotenuse square that allows me to write pythagorean theorem a squared plus b squared equals c squared if i then take a equilateral triangle 60 60 60 each side has a length of h and i drop an altitude which is also a perpendicular bisector it creates a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse h and since it's a perpendicular bisector the other side opposite 30 is half the hypotenuse and then i can find the length of the side opposite 60. calling that a i can say if a squared plus b squared equals c squared a squared plus h over 2 squared equals h squared i can then solve for a squared by subtracting h squared minus h squared over four getting three fourths h squared and then square rooting both sides i get a is equal to half the hypotenuse times the square root of 3. i can then do several examples so if i have a hypotenuse of 10 in the 30-60-90 triangle side opposite 30 is half the hypotenuse side opposite 60 is half the hypotenuse root 3. next in my 30 60 90 triangle if i know that the side opposite 30 is 7 hypotenuse is 14 side opposite sixty seven root three and finally if the side opposite sixty is eight i can set that equal to half the hypotenuse root three divide both sides by root three so half the hypotenuse is eight over root 3 and multiply both sides by 2 the hypotenuse would be 16 over root 3. next if i have an isosceles right triangle with angles of 45 45 90. each leg could be x the hypotenuse h then i can say x squared plus x squared equals h squared combine the x squareds to 2x squared square root both sides and get the hypotenuse is x root 2. as an example if i have an equilateral i saw if i have an isosceles triangle and i have the side opposite 45 to be seven the other leg is seven hypotenuse seven root two in this example the hypotenuse is ten i can then say each leg is equal to i take the tens set it equal to x root two solve for x and get ten over root two ten over root two can be rationalized by multiplying top and bottom by root two i get ten root two over two or five root two for each leg these two triangles are important to remember if you have a hypotenuse of one in the 30 60 90 or 45 45 90 opposite 30 will always be one-half opposite 60 root 3 over 2 opposite 45 1 over the root 2 or root 2 over 2.

the burning of Colombia South Carolina from his Memoirs by William tumpa Sherman this LibriVox recording is in the public domain Section 5 chapter 21 part 4 having concluded all needful preparations I rode from my headquarters on The Plank Road over to General slm's headquarters on the makon road and then dispatched by flag of truce in into Savannah by the hands of Colonel euwing Inspector General a demand for the surrender of the place the following letters give the result General Hardy refused to surrender and I then resolved to make the attempt to break his line of defense at several places trusting that someone would succeed headquarters military division of the Mississippi in the field near Savannah December 17 1864 General William J Hardy commanding Confederate forces in Savannah General you have doubtless observed from your station at Roso that seagoing vessels now come through osabo sound and up the oichi to the rear of my Army giving me abundant supplies of all kinds and more especially heavy ordinance necessary for the reduction of Savannah I have already received guns that can cast heavy and destructive shot as far as the heart of your city also I have for some days held and controlled every Avenue by which the people and Garrison of Savannah can be supplied and I am therefore justified in demanding the surrender of the city of Savannah and its dependent Forts and shall wait a reasonable time for your answer before opening with heavy ordinance should you entertain the proposition I am prepared to Grant liberal terms to the inhabitants and Garrison but should I be forced to resort to assault or the slower and sure process of starvation I shall then feel justified in resorting to the harshest measures and shall make little effort to restrain my Army burning to avenge the national wrong which they attach to Savannah and other large cities which have been so prominent in dragging our country into Civil War I enclos you a copy of General Hood's demand for the surrender of the town of rosoa to be used by you for what it is worth I have have the honor to be your obedient servant WT Sherman a Major General headquarters Department South Carolina Georgia and Florida Savannah Georgia December 17 1864 Major General WT Sherman commanding Federal forces near Savannah Georgia General I have to acknowledge the receipt of a communication from you of this state in which you demand the surrender of Savannah and its dependent forts on the ground found that you have received guns that can cast heavy and destructive shot Into the Heart of the City and for the further reason that you have for some days held and controlled every Avenue by which the people and Garrison can be supplied you add that should you be forced to resort to assault or to the slower and Sher process of starvation you will then feel justified in resorting to the harshest measures and will make little effort to restrain your army etc etc the position of your forces a half mile beyond the outer line for the land defense of Savannah is at the nearest point at least 4 miles from the Heart of the City that and the interior line are both intact your statement that you have for some days held and controlled every Avenue by which the people and Garrison can be supplied is incorrect I am in free and constant communication with my department your demand for the surrender of Savannah and its dependent forts is refused with respect to the threats conveyed in the closing paragraphs of your letter of what may be expected in case your demand is not complied with I have to say that I have hitherto conducted the military operations entrusted to my direction in strict accordance with the rules of civilized Warfare and I should deeply regret the adoption of any course by you that may force me to deviate from them in future I have the honor to be very respectfully your obedient servant WJ Hardy Lieutenant General headquarters military division of the Mississippi in the field near Savannah December 18 1864 800 p.m. Lieutenant General us Grant City Point Virginia General I wrote you at length by Colonel Babcock on the 16th instant as I therein explained my purpose yesterday I made a demand on General hard for the surrender of the city of Savannah and today received his answer refusing copies of both letters are here with inclosed you will notice that I claim that my lines are within easy Cannon range of the heart of Savannah but General Hardy asserts that we are 4 and 1 half miles distant but I myself have been to the intersection of the Charleston and Georgia Central railroads and the three-m post is but a few yards Beyond within the line of our pickets the enemy has no picus outside of his fortified line which is a full quarter of a mile within the 3M post and I have the evidence of Mr RR Kyler president of the Georgia Central Railroad who was a prisoner in our hands that the mile posts are measured from The Exchange which is but two squares back from the river by tomorrow morning I will have 630 lb parrots in position and general Hardy will learn whether I am right or wrong from the left of our line which is in the Savannah River the spires can be plainly seen But the country is so densely wooded with pine and Live Oak and lie so flat that we can see nothing from any other portion of our lines General slokum feels confident that he can make a successful assault at one or two points in front of General Davis's 14th core all of General Howard's troops the rightwing LIE behind the little oichi and I doubt if it can be passed by troops in the face of an enemy still we can make strong faints and if I can get a sufficient number of boats I shall make a Cooperative demonstration up Vernon River or Warsaw sound I should like very much indeed to take Savannah before coming to you but as I wrote to you before I will do nothing rash or Hasty and will Embark for the James River as soon as general Easton who has gone to Port Royal for that purpose reports to me that he has an approximate number of vessels for the transportation of the contemplated Force I fear even this will cost more delay than you anticipate for already the movement of our transports and the gunboats has required more time than I had expected we have had dense fogs there are more mud banks on the yichi than were reported and there are no Pilots whatever Admiral alren promised to have the channel boyed and staked but it is not done yet we find only 6 ft of water up to Kingsbridge at low tide about 10 ft up to the Rice Mill and 16 to Fort mallister all these points may be used by us and we have a good strong Bridge across oichi at Kings by which our wagons can go to Fort mallister to which point I am sending all wagons not absolutely necessary for daily use the Negroes prisoners of War sick Etc on route for Port Royal in in relation to Savannah you will remark that General Hardy refers to his still being in communication with his Department this language he thought would deceive me but I am confirmed in the belief that the route to which he refers the union Plank Road on the South Carolina Shore is inadequate to feed his Army and the people of Savannah and General Foster assures me that he has his force on that very Road near the head of Broad River so that cars no longer run between Charleston and Savannah we hold this end of the Charleston Railroad and have destroyed it from the 3M post back to the bridge about 12 miles in anticipation of leaving this country I am continuing the destruction of their railroads and at this moment have two divisions and the Cavalry at work breaking up the gulf railroad from the ogichi to the altamaha so that even if I do not take Savannah I will leave it in a bad way but but I still hope that events May give me time to take Savannah even if I have to assault with some loss I am satisfied that unless we take it the gunboats never will for they can make no impression upon the batteries which guard every approach from the sea I have a faint belief that when Colonel Babcock reaches you you will delay operations long enough to enable me to succeed here with Savannah in our possession at some future time if not now we can punish South Carolina as she deserves and as thousands of the people in Georgia hoped we would do I do sincerely believe that the whole United States north and south would Rejoice to have this Army turned loose on South Carolina to devastate that state in the manner we have done in Georgia and it would have a darest and immediate bearing on your campaign in Virginia I have the honor to be your obedient servant WT Sherman Major General United States Army as soon as the Army had reached Savannah and had opened communication with the fleet I endeavored to ascertain what had transpired in Tennessee since our departure we received our letters and files of newspapers which contained full accounts of all the events there up to about the 1st of December as before described General Hood had three full core of infantry SD Lees AP Stewarts and chams at Florence Alabama with Forest core of Cavalry numbering in the aggregate about 45,000 men General Thomas was in Nashville Tennessee quietly engaged in reorganizing his army out of the somewhat broken forces at his disposal he had posted his only two regular Corp the fourth and 23rd under the general command of Major General JM scoffield at Pulaski directly in front of Florence with the three brigades of cavalry hatch croxton and kapron commanded by Major General Wilson watching closely for Hood's initiative this Force aggregated about 30,000 men and was therefore inferior to the enemy and general scoffield was instructed in case the enemy made a general advance to fall back slowly toward Nashville fighting till he should be reinforced by General Thomas in person Hood's movement was probably hurried by reason of my Advance into to Georgia for on the 17th his infantry columns marched from Florence in the direction of wesboro turning Scofield's position at palaski the latter at once sent his trains to the rear and on the 21st fell back to Colombia Tennessee General Hood followed up this movement skirmished lightly with scoffield at Colombia began the passage of Duck River below the town and chetam cores reached the vicinity of Spring Hill with General scoffield had sent General Stanley with two of his divisions to cover the movements of his trains during the night of November 29th General scoffield passed Spring Hill with his trains and Army and took post at Franklin on the southside of harbath river General Hood now attaches serious blame to General chetam for not attacking General scoffield in flank while in motion at Spring Hill for he was bivouacked within 800 yards of the road at the time of the passage of our army General scoffield reached Franklin on the morning of November 30th and posted his army in front of the town where some rifle entrenchments had been constructed in advance he had the two Corps of Stanley and Co 4th and 23rd with Wilson's Cavalry on his flanks and sent his trains behind the Harpeth General Hood closed upon him the same day and assaulted his position with vehement at one time breaking the line and wounding General Stanley seriously but our men were veterans cool and determined and fought magnificently the rebel officers LED their men in person to the several persistent assaults continuing the battle far into the night when they drew off beaten and discomforted their loss was very severe especially in general officers among them generals Clayborn and Adams division commanders Hood's loss on that day was was afterward ascertained to be Thomas's report buried on the field 1750 left in hospital at Franklin 3,800 and 702 prisoners captured and held aggregate 6,252 General Scofield's loss reported officially was 189 killed 1,033 wounded and 114 prisoners or missing Agri 2326 the next day General scoffield crossed the harbath without trouble and fell back to the defenses of Nashville meanwhile General Thomas had organized the employees of the quartermaster's department into a core commanded by the chief quartermaster General JZ Donaldson and placed them in the fortifications of Nashville under the general direction of Major General ZB tower now of the United States engineers he had also received the two veteran divisions of the 16th Corps under General AJ Smith long absent and long expected and he had drawn from Chattanooga and decator Alabama the divisions of steedman and rs Granger these with General Scofield's Army and about 10,000 good Cavalry under General JH Wilson constituted a strong Army capable not only of Defending Nashville but of beating Hood in the open field yet Thomas remained inside of Nashville seemingly passive until General Hood had closed upon him and had entrenched his position General Thomas had furthermore held fast to the railroad leading from Nashville to Chattanooga leaving strong guards at its principal points as at Murphy's Boro Deckard Stevenson Bridgeport wetside and chanoa at Murphysboro the division of rouso was reinforced and strengthened up to about 8,000 men at that time the weather was cold and sleety the ground was covered with ice and snow and both parties for a Time rested on the defensive those matters stood at Nashville while we were closing down on Savannah in the early part of December 1864 and the country as well as General Grant was alarmed at the seeming passive conduct of General Thomas and General Grant at one time considered the situation so dangerous that he thought of going to Nashville in person but General John A Logan happening to be at City point was sent out to supersede General Thomas luckily for the latter he acted in time gained a magnificent Victory and thus escaped so terrible a Fate on the 18th of December at my Camp by the side of the Plank Road 8 Miles back of savan I received General Hardy's letter declining to surrender when nothing remained but to assault the ground was difficult and as all former assaults had proved so bloody I concluded to make one more effort to completely surround Savannah on all sides so as further to excite Hardy's fears and in case of success to capture the whole of his army we had already completely invested the place on the north west and south but there remained to the enemy on the East the use of the old Dyke or Plank Road leading into South Carolina and I knew that Hardy would have a pontoon Bridge across the river on examining my maps I thought that the division of John P hatch belonging to General Foster's command might be moved from its then position at Broad River by water down to bluon from which it could reach this Plank Road fortify it and hold it at some risk of course because Hardy could Avail himself of his Central position to fall on this Detachment with his whole Army I did not want to make a mistake like balls Bluff at that period of the war so taking one or two of my personal staff I rode back to grogs bridge leaving with generals Howard and slokom orders to make all possible preparation but not to attack during my two or 3 days absence and there I took a boat for Wasa sound whence Admiral dalren conveyed me in his own boat the Harvest Moon to Hilton Head where represented the matter to General Foster and he promptly agreed to give his personal attention to it during the night of the 20th we started back the wind blowing strong Admiral dalren ordered the pilot of the Harvest Moon to run into Tibby and to work his way through Wasau sound and the oichi river by the Romney marshes we were caught by a low tide and stuck in the mud after laboring some time the Admiral ordered out his barge in it we pulled through this intricate and shallow Channel and toward evening of December 21st we discovered coming toward us a tug called the red legs belonging to the quarter Master's Department with a staff officer on board bearing letters from Colonel Dayton to myself and the Admiral reporting that the city of Savannah had been found evacuated on the morning of December 21st and was then in our possession General Hardy had crossed the Savannah River by a pontoon Bridge carrying off his men and light artillery blowing up his ironclads and Navy yard but leaving for us all the heavy guns stores cotton Railway cars steamboats and an immense amount of public and private property Admiral dalren concluded to go toward a vessel the Sonoma of his blockading Fleet which lay at anchor near buur and I transferred to the red legs and hastened up the ogichi river to grogs bridge whence I rode to my camp that same night I there learned that early on the morning of December 21st the skirmishers had detected the absence of the enemy and had occupied his line simultaneously along their whole extent but the Left Flank slokum especially Gary's division of the 20th Corp claimed to have been the first to reach the Heart of the City generals slokum and Howard moved their headquarters at once into the city leaving the bulk of their troops en camp outside on the morning of December 22nd I followed with my own headquarters and rode down Bull Street to the custom house from the roof of which we had an extensive view over the city the river and the vast extent of marsh and rice fields on the South Carolina side the Navy yard and the wreck of the Ironclad Ram Savannah were still smoldering but all else looked quiet enough turning back we rode to the Pulaski hotel which I had known in years long gone and found it kept by a Vermont man with a lame leg who used to be a clerk in the St Louis Hotel New Orleans and I inquired about the capacity of his hotel for headquarters he was very anxious to have us for borders but I soon explained to him that we had a full mess equipment along and that we were not in the habit of paying board that one wing of the building would suffice for our use while I would allow him to keep an hotel for the accommodation of officers and gentlemen in the remainder I then dispatched an officer to look around for a livery stable that could accommodate our horses and while waiting there an English gentleman Mr Charles green came and said that he had a fine house completely furnished for which he had no use and offered it as headquarters he explained moreover that General Howard had informed him the day before that I would want his house for headquarters At first I felt strongly disinclined to make use of any private dwelling lest complaints should arise of damage and loss of furniture and so expressed myself to Mr Green but after riding about the city and finding his house so spacious so convenient with large yard and stabling I accepted his offer and occupied that house during our stay in Savannah he only reserved for himself the use of a couple of rooms above the dining room and we had all else and a most excellent house it was was in all respects I was disappointed that Hardy had escaped with his army but on the whole we had reason to be content with the substantial fruits of Victory the Savannah River was found to be badly obstructed by Torpedoes and by log peers stretched across the channel below the city which peers were filled with the cobblestones that formerly paved the streets Admiral dalren was extremely active and visited me repeatedly in the city while his Fleet still watched Charleston and all the Avenues for the blockade Runners had infested the coast which were notoriously owned and managed by Englishmen who used the island of New Providence Nassau as a sort of anthropo one of these small blockade Runners came into Savannah after we were in full possession and the master did not discover his mistake till he came ashore to visit the custom house of course his vessel fell AR prize to the Navy a heavy force was once set to work to remove the Torpedoes and obstructions in the main channel of the river and from that time forth Savannah became the great Depot of supply for the troops operating in that quarter meantime on the 15th and 16th of December were fought in front of Nashville the great battles in which general Thomas so nobly fulfilled his promise to ruin Hood the details of which are fully given in his own official reports long since published rumors of these great victories reached us at Savannah by peace meal but his official report came on the 24th of December with a letter from General Grant giving in general terms the events up to the 18th and I wrote at once through my chief of staff General Webster to General Thomas complimenting him in the highest terms His Brilliant victory at Nashville was necessary to mine at Savannah to make a complete ho and this fact was perfectly comprehend ended by Mr Lincoln who recognized it fully in his personal letter of December 26th herein before quoted at length and which is also claimed at the time in my special field order number six of January 8th 1865 here given special field order number six headquarters military division of the Mississippi in the field near Savannah Georgia January 8th 1864 the general commanding Ann anounces to the Troops composing the military division of the Mississippi that he has received from the president of the United States and from Lieutenant General Grant letters conveying their high sense and appreciation of the campaign just closed resulting in the capture of Savannah and the defeat of Hood's Army in Tennessee in order that all may understand the importance of events it is proper to revert to the situation of Affairs in September last we held Atlanta a city of little value to us but so important to the enemy that Mr Davis the head of the rebellious faction in the South visited his Army near Palmetto and commanded it to regain the place and also to ruin and destroy us by a series of measures which he thought would be effectual that Army by a rapid March gained our railroad near Big Shanty and afterward about Dalton we pursued it but it moved so rapidly that we could not overtake it and general Hood LED his army successfully Far Over toward Mississippi in hope to decoy us out of Georgia but we were not thus to be led Away by him and preferred to lead and control events ourselves generals Thomas and scoffield commanding the Departments to our rear returned to their posts and prepared to decoy General Hood into their meshes while we came on to complete the original Journey we quietly and deliberately destroyed Atlanta and all the railroads which the enemy had used to carry on war against us occupied his state capital and then captured his commercial Capital which had been so strongly fortified from the sea as to defy approach from that quarter almost at the moment of our Victorious entry into Savannah came the welcome and expected news that our comrades and Tennesse had also fulfilled nobly and well their part had decoyed General Hood to Nashville and then turned on him defeating his army thoroughly capturing all his artillery great numbers of prisoners and were still pursuing the fragments down in Alabama so complete success in military operations extending over half a continent is an achievement that entitles it to a place in the military history of the world the Army serving in Georgia and Tennessee as well as the local garrisons of decater Bridgeport Chattanooga and murphysburg f are alike entitled to the common honors and each regiment May inscribe in its colors at pleasure the word Savannah or Nashville the general commanding Embraces in the same general success the operations of the calvalry under General Stoneman Burbage and Gillum that penetrated into Southwest Virginia and paralyzed the efforts of the enemy to disturb the peace and safety of East Tennessee instead of being put on the defensive we have at all points assumed the Bold offensive and have completely thwarted the designs of the enemies of our country by order of Major General WT Sherman LM Dayton Aid de Camp end of Section Five Section six of Sherman's March to the Sea and the burning of Colombia South Carolina from his Memoirs by William tumpa Sherman this LibriVox recording is in the public domain section six chapter 21 part 5 here terminated the march to the sea and I only add a few letters selected out of many to illustrate the general feeling of rejoicing throughout the country at the time I only regarded the march from Atlanta to Savannah as a shift of Base as the transfer of a strong Army which had no opponent and had finished its then work from the interior to a point on the Sea Coast from which it could achieve other important results I considered this March as a means to an end and not as an essential Act of War still then as now the march to the sea was generally regarded as something extraordinary something anomalous something out of the usual order of events whereas in fact I simply moved from Atlanta to Savannah as one step in the direction of Richmond a movement that had to be met and defeated or the war was necessarily at an end were I to express my measure of the relative importance of the march to the sea and of that from Savannah northward I would place the former at one and the latter at 10 or the maximum I now close this long chapter by giving a tabular statement of the losses during the march and the number of prisoners captured the property captured consisted of horses and mules by the thousands and of quantities of subsistent stores that aggregate very large but may be measured with sufficient accuracy by assuming that 65,000 men obtained abundant food for about 40 days and 35,000 animals were fed for a like period so as to reach Savannah in Splendid flesh and condition I also add a few of the more important letters that passed between generals Grant HCK and myself which illustrate our opinions at that stage of the war statement of casualties and prisoners captured by the Army in the field campaign of Georgia officers killed 10 men killed 93 officers wounded 24 men wounded 44 officers missing one Men missing 277 officers captured 77 men captured 1,261 headquarters of the army Washington December 16 1864 Major General Sherman via Hilton Head General Lieutenant General Grant informs me that in his last Dispatch sent to you he suggested the transfer of your infantry to Richmond he now wishes me to say that you will retain your entire force at least for the present and with such assistance as may be given you by General Foster and Admiral dalren operate from such base as you may establish on the coast General Foster will obey such instructions as may be given by you should you have captured Savannah it is thought that by transferring the water batteries to the landside that place may be made a good Depot and base of operations on Augusta Branchville or Charleston if Savannah should not be captured or if captured and not deemed suitable for this purpose perhaps bfort could serve as a Depot as the rebels have probably removed their most valuable property from Augusta perhaps Branchville would be the most important point at which to strike in order to sever all connection between Virginia and the southwestern railroad General Grant's wishes however are that this whole matter of your future actions should be entirely left to your discretion we can send you from here a number of complete batteries of field artillery with or without horses as you may desire also as soon as general Thomas can spare them all the fragments convalescence and furloughed Men of your army it is reported that Thomas defeated Hood yesterday near Nashville but we have no particulars nor official reports telegraphic communication being interrupted by a heavy storm our last advises from you was General how W's note announcing his approach to Savannah Yours Truly HW HCK Major General Chief of Staff headquarters of the army Washington December 18 1864 Major General WT Sherman Savannah via Hilton Head my dear General yours of the 13th by Major Anderson is just received I congratulate you on your Splendid success and shall very soon expect to hear of the crowning work of your campaign aign the capture of Savannah your March Will Stand Out prominently as the great one of this Great War when Savannah Falls then for another wide swath through the center of the Confederacy but I will not anticipate General Grant is expected here this morning and will probably write you his own views I do not learn from your letter or from major Anderson that you are in want of anything which we have not provided at Hilton Head thinking it probable that you might want want more field artillery I had prepared several batteries but the great difficulty of foraging horses on the Sea Coast will prevent our sending any unless you actually need them the hay crop this year is short and the quartermaster's department has great difficulty in procuring a supply for our animals General Thomas has defeated Hood near Nashville and it is hoped that he will completely crush his army Breen Ridge At Last accounts was trying to form a junction near iboro but as Thomas is between them Breen Ridge must either Retreat or be defeated general rosr made very bad work of it in Missouri allowing price with a small Force to overrun the state and Destroy millions of property orders have been issued for all officers and detachments having three months or more to serve to rejoin your army via savan those having less than 3 months to serve will be retained by General Thomas should you capture Charleston I hope that by some accident the place may be destroyed and if a little salt should be swn upon its site it may prevent the growth of future crops of nullification and succession Yours Truly HW hoc Major General Chief of Staff headquarters of the army Washington December 18 1864 to Major General WT Sherman commanding military division of the Mississippi my dear General I have just received and read I need not tell you with how much gratification your letter to General hoc I congratulate you and the brave officers and men under your command on the successful termination of your most brilliant campaign I never had a doubt of the result when apprehensions for your safety were expressed by the president I assured him with the Army you had and you in command of it there was no danger but you would strike bottom on saltwater someplace place that I would not feel the same Security in fact would not have entrusted the expedition to any other living Commander it has been very hard work to get Thomas to attack Hood I gave him the most peremptory order and had started to go there myself before he got off he has done magnificently however since he started up to last night 5,000 prisoners and 49 pieces of captured artillery besides many wagons and innumerable Small Arms had been received in Nashville this is exclusive of the enemy's loss of Franklin which amounted to 13 General officers killed wounded and captured the enemy probably lost 5,000 men at Franklin and 10,000 in the last three days operations Breen Ridge is said to be making for Murphy's Boro I think he is in a most excellent place Stoneman has already wiped out John Morgan's old command and 5 days ago entered Bristol I did think the best thing to do was to bring the greater part of your army here and wipe out Lee the turn Affairs now seem to be taking has shaken me in that opinion I doubt whether you may not accomplish more toward that result where you are than if brought here especially as I am informed since my arrival in this city that it would take about two months to get you here with all the other calls there are for ocean Transportation I want to get your views about what ought to be done and what can be done if you capture the Garrison of Savannah it certainly will compel Lee to detach from Richmond or give us nearly the whole South my own opinion is that Lee is averse to going out of Virginia and if the cause of the South is lost he wants Richmond to be the last place surrendered if he has such views it may be well to indulge him until we get everything else in our hands congrat ulating you and the Army again upon the splendid results of your campaign the like of which is not read of in past history I subscribe myself more than ever if possible your friend us Grant Lieutenant General headquarters of the army City Point Virginia December 26 1864 Major General WT Sherman Savana Georgia General your very interesting letter of the 22nd instant brought by Major gray of General Foster staff is fast at hand as the major starts back at once I can do no more at present then simply acknowledge its receipt the capture of Savannah with all its immense stores must tell upon the people of the South all well here Yours Truly us Grant Lieutenant General headquarters military division of the Mississippi Savannah Georgia December 24 1864 Lieutenant General us Grant City Point Virginia General your letter of December 18th is just received I feel very much gratified at receiving the handsome Commendation you pay my Army I will in general orders convey to the officers and Men the substance of your note I am also pleased that you have modified your former orders for I feared that the transportation by sea would very much disturb the unity and morale of my Army now so perfect the occupation of Savannah which I have heret for reported completes the first part of our game and fulfills a greater part of your instructions and we are now engaged in dismantling the rebel forts which bear upon the sea channels and transferring the heavy ordinance and ammunition to Fort Pulaski and Hilton Head where they can be more easily guarded than if left in the city the rebel inner lines are well adapted to our purposes and with slight modification can be held by a comparatively small force and in about 10 days I expect to be ready to Sally Forth again I feel no doubt whatever as to our future plans I have thought them over so long and well that they appear as clear as daylight I left Augusta untouched on purpose because the enemy will be in doubt as to my objective point after we cross the Savannah River whether it be Augusta or Charleston and will naturally divide his forces I will then move either on Branchville or Colombia by any curved line that gives us the best supplies breaking up in our course as much railroad as possible then ignoring Charleston and Augusta both I will occupy Colombia and Camden pausing there long enough to observe the effect I would then strike for the Charleston and Wilmington railroad somewhere between the Santi and Cape Fear rivers and if possible communicate with the fleet under ad adal doen whom I find a most agreeable gentleman accommodating himself to our wishes and plans then I would favor an attack on Wilmington in the belief that Porter and Butler will fail in their present undertaking Charleston is now a mere desolated wreck and is hardly worth the time it would take to starve it out still I am aware that historically and politically much importance is attached to the place and it may be that apart from its military importance both you and the administration may prefer I should give it more attention and it would be well for you to give me some general idea on that subject for otherwise I would treat it as I have expressed as a point of little importance after all its railroads leading into the interior have been destroyed or occupied by us but on the hypothesis of ignoring Charleston and taking Wilmington I would then favor of movement Direct on Raley the game is then up with Lee unless he comes out of Richmond avoids you and fights me in which case I should reckon on your being on his heels now that hood is used up by Thomas I feel disposed to bring the matter to an issue as quick as possible I feel confident that I can break up the whole railroad system of South Carolina and North Carolina and Beyond the Rowan o either at Raleigh or Welden by the time spring fairly opens and if you feel confident that you can whip Lee outside of his entrenchments I feel equally confident that I can handle him in the Open Country one reason why I would ignore Charleston is this that I believe Hardy will reduce the Garrison to a small force with plenty of Provisions I know that the neck back of Charleston can be made impregnable to assault and we will hardly have time for Siege operations I will have to leave in Savannah a Garrison and if Thomas can spare them I would like to have all detachments convalescence Etc belonging to these four core sent forward at once I do not want to Thomas because I regard his operations as all important and I have ordered him to pursue Hood down into Alabama trusting to the country for supplies I reviewed one of my cores today and shall continue to review the whole Army I do not like to boast but believe this Army has a confidence in it itself that makes it almost Invincible I wish you could run down and see us it would have a good effect and show to both armies that they are acting on a common plan the weather is now cool and pleasant and the General Health very good your true friend WT Sherman Major General headquarters military division of the Mississippi in the field Savannah Georgia December 24 1864 major General HW HCK Chief of Staff Washington D.C general I had the pleasure of receiving your two letters of the 16th and 18th instant today and feel more than usually flattered by the high encomiums you have passed on our recent Campaign which is now complete by the occupation of Savannah I am also very glad that General Grant has changed his mind about embarking my troops for James River leaving me free to make the broad swath you describe through South and North Carolina and still more gratified at the news from Thomas in Tennessee because it fulfills my plans which contemplated his being able to dispose of hood in case he ventured north of the Tennessee River so I think on the whole I can chuckle over Jeff Davis's disappointment in not turning my Atlanta Campaign into a Moscow disaster I have just finished a long letter to General Grant and have explained to him that we are engaged in shifting our base from the oichi to the Savannah River dismantling all the forts made by the enemy to Bear upon the saltwater channels transferring the heavy ordinance Etc to Fort Pulaski and Hilton Head and in remodling the enemy's interior lines to suit our future plans and purposes I have also laid down the program for a campaign which I can make this winter and which will put me in the spring on the Rowan Oak in direct communication with General Grant on James River in general terms my plan is to turn over to General Foster the city of Savannah to Sally Forth with my Army resupplied cross the Savannah feain on Charleston and Augusta but strike between breaking on Route the Charleston and Augusta railroad also a large part of that from Branchville and Camden toward North Carolina and then rapidly to move for some point of the railroad from Charleston to Wilmington between the Santi and Cape Fear Rivers then communicating with the fleet in the neighborhood of Georgetown I would turn upon Wilmington or Charleston according to the importance of either I rather prefer Wilmington as alive place over Charleston which is dead and unimportant when its railroad Communications are broken I take it for granted that the present movement on Wilmington will fail if I should determine to take Charleston I would turn across the country which I have hunted over many a time from Santi to Mount Pleasant throwing One Wing on the peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper after accomplishing one or other of these ends I would make a beine for Raleigh or Welden when Lee would be forced to come out of Richmond or acknowledge himself beaten he would I think by the use of the Danville railroad throw himself rapidly between me and Grant leaving Richmond in the hands of the latter this would not alarm me for I have an army which I think can maneuver and I would force him to attack me at a disadvantage always under the supposition that Grant would be on his heels and if worse comes to the worst I can fight my way down to albam maral sound or newborn I think the time has come now when we should attempt the boldest moves and my experience is that they are easier of execution than more timid ones because the enemy is disconcerted by them as for instance my recent campaign I also doubt the wisdom of concentration Beyond a certain extent for the roads of this country limit the amount of men that can be brought to bear in any one battle and I do not believe that any one General can handle more than 60,000 men in battle I think our campaign of the last month as well as every step I take from this point northward is as much a direct attack upon Lee's army as though we were operating within the sound of his artillery I am very anxious that Thomas should follow up his success to the very utmost point my orders to him before I left Kingston were after beating Hood to follow him as far as Columbus Mississippi or Selma Alabama both of which lie in districts of country which are rich in corn and meat I attach more importance to these deep incisions into the the enemy's country because this war differs from European Wars and this particular we are not only fighting hostile armies but a hostile people and must make old and young rich and poor feel the hard hand of War as well as their organized armies I know that this recent movement of mine through Georgia has had a wonderful effect in this respect thousands who had been deceived by their lying newspapers to believe that we were being whipped all the time now realize the truth and have no appetite for a repetition of the same experience to be sure Jeff Davis has his people under pretty good discipline but I think faith in him is much shaken in Georgia and before we have done with her South Carolina will not be quite so tempestuous I will bear in mind your hint as to Charleston and do not think that salt will be necessary when I move the 15th core will be on the right of the right wing and their Position will naturally bring them into Charleston first and if you have watched the history of that core you will have remarked that they generally do their work pretty well the truth is the whole Army is burning with an insatiable desire to wreak vengeance upon South Carolina I almost tremble at her fate but feel that she deserves all that seems in store for her many and many a person in Georgia asked me why we did not go to South Carolina and when I answered that we were on route for that state the invariable reply was well if you will make those people feel the utmost severities of War we will pardon you for your desolation of Georgia I look upon Colombia as quite as bad as Charleston and I doubt if we shall spare the public buildings there as we did at milleville I have been so busy lately that I have not yet made my official report and I think I had better wait until I get my subordinate reports before attempting it as I am anxious to explain clearly not only the reasons for every step but the amount of execution done and this I cannot do until I get the subordinate reports for we March the whole distance in four or more columns and of course I could only be present with one and generally that one engaged in destroying railroads this work of Destruction was performed better than usual because I had an engineer regiment provid Ed with claws to twist the bars after being heated such bars can never be used again and the only way in which a railroad line can be reconstructed across Georgia is to make a new road from Fairburn station 24 mil southwest of Atlanta to Madison a distance of 100 miles and before that can be done I propose to be on the road from Augusta to Charleston which is a continuation of the same I felt somewhat disappointed at hard's Escape but really am not to blame I moved as quickly as possible to close up the union Causeway but intervening obstacles were such that before I could get troops on the road Hardy had slipped out still I know that the men that were in Savannah will be lost in a measure to Jeff Davis for the Georgia troops under GW Smith declared they would not fight in South Carolina and they have gone North on route for Augusta and I have reason to believe the North Carolina troops have gone to Wilmington in other words they are scattered I have reason to believe that board was present in Savannah at the time of its evacuation and think that he and Hardy are now in Charleston making preparations for what they suppose will be my next step please say to the president that I have received his kind message through Colonel Markland and feel thankful for his high favor if I disappoint him in the future it shall not be from want of zeal or love to the cause from you I expect a full and Frank criticism of my plans for the future which may enable me to correct errors before it is too late I do not wish to be rash but want to give my Rebel friends no chance to accuse us of want of Enterprise or courage assuring you of my high personal respect I remain as ever your friend WT Sherman Major General general order number three war department adjudant General's office Washington January 14 1865 the following resolution of the Senate and House of

occupation of that City and that the president caus a copy of this joint resolution to be engrossed and forwarded to Major General Sherman approved January 10 1865 by order of the Secretary of War W Nichols assistant adjudant general end of section six section seven of Sherman's March to the Sea and the burning of Columbia South Carolina from his Memoirs by William tumsa Sherman this LibriVox recording is in the public domain section 7 chapter 23 campaign of the Carolinas partial we all remained strong along this railroad till the 9th of February the 17th core on the right then the 15 20th and Cavalry at Blackville General slokum reached Blackville that day with Gary's division of the 20th core and reported the 14th core General Jeff C Davis's to be following by way of Barnwell on the 10th I rode up to Blackville where I conferred with generals slokum and Kilpatrick became satisfied that the whole Army would be ready within a day and accordingly made orders for the next movement North to Colombia the right wing to strike orangeberries strongly toward aen to keep up the delusion that we might turn to Augusta but he was notified that Colombia was the next objective and that he should cover the Left Flank against wheeler who hung around it I wanted to reach Colombia before any part of Hood's Army could possibly get there some of them were reported as having reached Augusta under the command of General dick Taylor having sufficiently damaged the railroad and affected the junction of the entire Army the general March was resumed on the 11th each core crossing the South adiso by separate Bridges with orders to pause on the road leading from Orangeburg to Augusta till it was certain that the 17th Corps had got possession of Orangeburg this place was simply important as its occupation would sever the communications between Charleston and in Colombia all the heads of colum reached this road known as the Edgefield Road during the 12th and the 17th core turned to the right against Orangeburg when I reached the head of column opposite Orangeburg I found Giles A Smith division halted with a battery unlimbered exchanging shots with the party on the opposite side of the adiso he reported that the bridge was gone and that the river was deep and impassible I then directed General Blair to send a strong division below the town some four or five miles to effect a Crossing there he laid his pontoon bridge but the bottom on the other side was overflowed and the men had to Wade through it in places as deep as their wastes I was with this division at the time on foot trying to pick my way across the overflowed bottom but as soon as the head of column reached the Sand Hills I knew that the enemy would not long remain in Orange Berg and accordingly returned to my horse on the West Bank and rode rapidly up to where I had left Giles A Smith I found him in possession of the broken bridge AB breast of the town which he was repairing and I was among the first to cross over and enter the town by and before the time either forces or Giles A Smith skirmishers entered the place several stores were on fire and I am sure that some of the town's people told me that a Jew Merchant had set fire to his own cotton and store and from this the fire had spread this however was soon put out and the 17th Corp General Blair occupied the place during the night I remember to have visited a large Hospital on the hill near the railroad Depot which was occupied by the orphan children who had been removed from the asylum in Charleston we gave them protection and I think some Provisions the railroad and Depot were destroyed by order and no doubt a good deal of cotton was burned for we all regarded cotton as hostile property a thing to be destroyed General Blair was ordered to break up this railroad forward to the point where it cross the Santi and then to turn for Colombia on the morning of the 13th I again joined the 15th Corp which crossed the north adiso by sillings bridge and moved straight for Colombia around the head of CA swamp orders were sent to All The Columns to turn for Colombia where it was supposed the enemy had concentrated all the men they could from Charleston Augusta and even from Virginia that night I was with the 15th Corp 21 miles from Colombia where my Aid Colonel alrig picked up a rebel officer on the road who supposing him to be of the same service with himself answered all his questions frankly and revealed the truth that there was nothing in Colombia except Hampton's Cavalry the fact was that General Hardy in Charleston took it for granted that we were after Charleston the rebel troops in Augusta supposed they were our objective so they abandoned poor Colombia to the care of Hampton's Cavalry which was confused by the rumors that poured in on it so that both board and Wade Hampton who were in Colombia seemed to have lost their heads on the 14th the head of the 15th core Charles R Woods division approached the little Conger a broad deep stream tributary to the main Conger 6 or8 miles below Colombia on the opposite side of this stream was a newly constructed Fort and on our side a wide extent of old cotton fields which had been overflowed and was covered with a deep slime General Woods had deployed his leading Brigade which was skirmishing forward but he reported that the bridge was gone and that a considerable force of the enemy was on the other side I directed General Howard or Logan to send a brigade by a circuit to the left to see if this stream could not be crossed higher up but at the same time knew that General slocum's Route would bring him to Colombia behind this stream and that his approach would uncover it therefore there was no need of exposing much life the Brigade however found means to cross the little Conger and thus uncovered the passage by the main road so that General wood skirmishers at once passed over and a party was set to work to repair the bridge which occupied less than an hour when I passed over with my whole staff I found the new Fort unfinished and unoccupied but from its parit could see over some Old Fields bounded to the north and west by Hills skirted with Timber there was a plantation to our left about half a mile and on the edge of the Timber was drawn up a force of Rebel Cavalry of about a regiment which Advanced and charged upon some of our foragers who were plundering the plantation my Aid Colonel alen Reed who had ridden forward came back somewhat hurt and bruised for observing this charge of Cavalry he had turned for us and his horse fell with him in attempting to LEAP a ditch General wood Skirmish line met this charge of Cavalry and drove it back into to the woods and Beyond we remained on that ground during the night of the 15th and I camped on the nearest dry ground behind the little Conger where on the next morning were made the written orders for the government of the troops while occupying Colombia these are dated February 16 1865 in these words General Howard will cross the Saluda and Broad Rivers as near their mouths as possible occupy Colombia destroy the public building railroad property manufacturing and machine shops but will spare libraries asylums and private dwellings he will then move to windsboro destroying on Route entirely that section of the railroad he will also cause allbridge trestles water tanks and Depot on the railroad back to the watery to be burned switches broken and other destruction as he can find time to accomplish consistent with proper Solarity these instructions were embraced in general order number 26 which prescribed the roots of March for the several columns as far as fville North Carolina and is conclusive that I then regarded Colombia as simply one point on our general route of March and not as an important Conquest during the 16th of February the 15th Corps reached the point opposite Colombia and pushed on for the Saluda Factory 3 Mi above crossed that stream and the head of column reached Broad River just in time to find its bridge in Flames Butler's Cavalry having just passed over into Columbia the head of slm's column also reached the point opposite Colombia the same morning but the bulk of his army was back at lexingon I reached this place early in the morning of the 16th met General slokum there and explained to him the purport of general order number 26 which contemplated the passage of his army across Broad River at Alon 15 Mi above Colombia riding down to the riverbank I saw the wreck of the large Bridge which had been burned by the enemy with its many Stone peers Still Standing but the super structure gone across the Conger River lay the city of Colombia in plain Easy View I could see the unfinished State House a handsome Granite structure and the ruins of the railroad Depot which were still smoldering occasionally a few citizens or cavalry could be seen running across the streets and quite a number of negroes were seemingly busy in carrying off bags of grain or Meal which were piled up near the burnt Depot Captain de had a section of his 20b parrot guns on Liber firing into the town I asked him what he was firing for he said he could see some Rebel Cavalry occasionally at the intersections of the streets and he had an idea that there was a large force of infantry concealed on the opposite Bank lying low in case we should attempt to cross over directly into the town I instructed him not to fire anymore into the town but consented to his bursting a few Shells near the depot to scare away the Negroes who were appropriating the bags of corn and Meal which we wanted also to fire three shots at the unoccupied State housee I stood by and saw these fired and then all firing ceased although this matter of firing into Colombia has been the subject of much abuse and investigation I have yet to hear of any single person having been killed in Colombia by our cannon on the other hand the night before when Woods's division was encamp in the Open Fields at little Conger it was shelled all night by a rebel battery from the other side of the river this provoked me much at the time for it was want in Mischief as generals board and H must have been convinced that they could not prevent our entrance into Colombia I have always contended that I would have been justified in retaliating for this unnecessary Act of War but did not though I always characterized it as it deserved the night of the 16th I camped near an old prison bivwak opposite Colombia known to our prisoners of War as camp sgram where remained the mud hubs and holes in the ground which our prisoners had made to shelter themselves from the Winter's Cold and The Summer's heat the 15th core was then ahead reaching to Broad River about 4 miles above Colombia the 17th core was behind on the riverbank opposite Colombia and the left wing and Cavalry had turned North toward olon the next morning viz February 17th I rode to the head of General Howard's column and found that during the night he had fed Stones Brigade of woods division of the 15th Corps across by rafts made of the pontoons and the Brigade was then deployed on the opposite Bank to cover the construction of a pontoon Bridge nearly finished I sat with General Howard on a log watching the men lay this bridge and about 9 or 10:00 a.m. a messenger came from Colonel Stone on the other side saying that the mayor of Colombia had come out of the city to surrender the place and asked for orders I simply remarked to General Howard that he had his orders to let Colonel Stone go on into the City and that we would follow as soon as the bridge was ready by this same messenger I received a note in pencil from the lady Superior of a Convent or School in Colombia in which she claimed to have been a teacher in a Convent in Brown County Ohio at the time my daughter Minnie was a pupil there and therefore asking special protection my recol elction is that I gave the note to my brother-in-law Colonel euwing then Inspector General on my staff with instructions to see this lady and assure her that we contemplated no destruction of any private property in Colombia at all as soon as the bridge was done I led my horse over it followed by my whole staff General Howard accompanied me with his and General Logan was next in order followed by General CR woods and the whole of the 15th Corp ascending the hill we soon emerged into a broad Road leading into Colombia between Old Fields of corn and cotton and entering the city we found seemingly all its population white and black in the streets a high and boisterous wind was prevailing from the north and flakes of cotton were flying about in the air and lodging in the limbs of the trees reminding us of a northern snowstorm near the Market Square we found Stones Brigade halted with arms stacked and a large detail of his men along with some citizens engaged with an old fire engine trying to put out the fire in a long pile of burning cotton Bales which I was told had been fired by the rebel Cavalry on withdrawing from the city that morning I know that to avoid this row of burning cotton Bales I had to ride my horse on the sidewalk in the Market Square had collected a large crowd of whites and blacks among whom was the mayor of the city Dr Goodwin quite a respectable Old Gentleman who was extremely anxious to protect the interests of the citizens he was on foot and I on Horseback and it is probable I told him then not to be uneasy that we did not intend to stay long and had no purpose to injure the private citizens or private property about this time I noticed several men trying to get through the crowd to speak with me and called to some black people people to make room for them when they reached me they explained that they were officers of our army who had been prisoners had escaped from the rebel prison and guard and were of course Overjoyed to find themselves safe with us I told them that as soon as things settled down they should report to General Howard who would provide for their safety and enable them to travel with us one of them handed me a paper asking me to read it at my leisure I put it in my breast pocket it and rode on General Howard was still with me and riding down the street which led to the right to the Charleston Depot we found it and a large Storehouse burned to the ground but there were on the platform and ground nearby piles of cotton bags filled with corn and cornmeal partially burned a Detachment of stones Brigade was guarding this and separating the good from the bad we rode along the railroad track some 3 or 400 yard to a large large Foundry when some men rode up and said the rebel Cavalry were close by and he warned us that we might get shot we accordingly turned back to the market square and on Route noticed that several of the men were evidently in liquor when I called General Howard's attention to it he left me and rode toward General Woods's head of column which was defiling through the town on reaching the Market Square I again met Dr Goodwin and inquired where he proposed to quarter me and he said that he had selected the house of Blandon Duncan Esquire a citizen of Louisville Kentucky then a resident there who had the contract for manufacturing the Confederate money and had fled with Hampton's Cavalry we all rode some six or eight squares back from the new state house and found a very good modern house completely furnished with stabling and a large yard took it as our headquarters and occupied it during our stay I considered General Howard as in command of the place and referred the many applicants for guards and protection to him before our headquarters wagons had got up I strolled through the streets of Colombia found Sentinels posted at the principal intersections and generally good order prevailing but did not again return to the main street because it was filled with a crowd of citizens watching the soldiers marching by during the afternoon of that day February 7 1th the whole of the 15th Corp passed through the town and out on the Camden and windsboro Roads the 17th core did not enter the city at all but crossed directly over to the windsboro road from the Pontoon bridge at Broad River which was about 4 miles above the city after we had got as it were settled in Blanton Duncan's house say about 2: p.m. I overhauled my pocket according to custom to read more carefully the various notes and memoranda received during the day and found the paper which had been given me as described by one of our escaped prisoners it proved to be the song of Sherman's March to the Sea which had been composed by adant shm buers of the fifth Iowa Infantry when a prisoner in the Asylum at Colombia which had been beautifully written off by a fellow prisoner and handed to me in person this appeared to me so good that I at once sent for buyers attached him to my staff provided him with horse and equipment and took him as far as fville North Carolina whence he was sent to Washington as bearer of dispatches he is now United States Consul at Zurich Switzerland where I have since been his guest I insert the song here for convenient reference and preservation buer said that there was an excellent Glee Club among the prisoners in Colombia who used to sing it well with an audience often of Rebel ladies Sherman's March to the Sea composed by adjudant buyers fifth Iowa Cavalry arranged and sung by the prisoners in Colombia prison one our campfire Shone bright on the mountain that frowned on the river below as we stood by our guns in the morning and eagerly watched for the foe when a rider came out of the darkness that hung over Mountain and tree and shouted boys up and be ready for Sherman will March to the Sea chorus then sang We a song of our Chieftain that echoed over River and Lee and the stars of our Banner Shone brighter when Sherman marched down to the Sea two then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman went up from each Valley and Glenn and the bugles re-echoed the music that came from the lips of the men for we knew that the stars in our Banner more bright in their Splendor would be and that blessings from Northland World greet us when Sherman marched down to the Sea then sang We a song Etc three then forward boys forward to battle we marched on our wearisome way we stormed the wild Hills of rarar God bless those who fell on that day then Kennesaw frowned in its Glory frowned down on the flag of the free free but the East and the West bore our standard and Sherman marched on to the Sea then sang We a song Etc four still onward we pressed till our banners swept out from Atlanta's Grim walls and the blood of the Patriot dampened the soil where the traitor flag Falls but we paused not to weep for the Fallen who slept by each River and tree yet we twined them a wreath of the Laurel as shman marched down to the Sea then sang We a song Etc five oh proud was our army that morning that stood where the pine Darkly Towers when Sherman said boys you are weary but today Fair Savannah is ours then sang We the song of our Chieftain that echoed over River and Lee and the stars in our Banner Shone brighter when Sherman camped down by the sea toward evening of February 17th the mayor Dr Goodwin came to my Quarters at Duncan's house and remarked that there was a lady in Colombia who professed to be a special friend of mine on his giving her name I could not recall it but inquired as to her maiden or family name he answered poas it so happened that when I was a lieutenant at Fort mtry in 1842 46 I used very often to visit a family of that name on the East br branch of Cooper River about 40 mi from Fort mtry and to hunt with a son Mr James Poes An Elegant young fellow and a fine Sportsman his father mother and several sisters composed the family and were extremely hospitable one of the ladies was very fond of painting and watercolors which was one of my weaknesses and on one occasion I had presented her with a volume treating of watercolors of course I was glad to renew the acquaintance and proposed to Dr Goodwin that we should walk to her house and visit this lady which we did the house stood beyond the Charlotte Depot in a large lot was a frame with a high porch which was reached by a set of steps outside entering this yard I noticed ducks and chickens and a general air of peace and comfort that was really Pleasant to behold at that time of universal desolation the lady in question met us at the head of the steps and invited us into a parlor which was perfectly neat and well furnished after inquiring about her father mother sisters and especially her brother James my special friend I could not help saying that I was pleased to notice that our men had not handled her house and premises as roughly as was their want I owe it to you General she answered not at all I did not know you were here till a few minutes ago she reiterated that she was indebted to to me for the perfect safety of her house and property and added you remember when you were at our house on Cooper River in 1845 you gave me a book and she handed me the book in question on the fly leaf of which was written to miss poas with the compliments of WT Sherman first lieutenant third artillery she then explained that as our army approached Colombia there was a doubt in her mind whether the terrible Sherman who was devastating the land were w T Sherman or tww Sherman both known to be Generals in the northern Army but on the supposition that he was her old acquaintance when Wade Hampton's Cavalry Drew out of the city calling out that the Yankees were coming she armed herself with this book and awaited the crisis soon the shouts about the market house announced that the Yankees had come very soon men were seen running up and down the streets a parcel of them poured over the fence began to chase the chickens and ducks and to enter her house she observed one large man with full beard who exercised some Authority and to him she appealed in the name of his general what do you know of Uncle Billy why she said when he was a young man he used to be our friend in Charleston and here is a book he gave me the officer or Soldier took the book looked at the inscription and turning to his fellow said boys that's so that's Uncle Billy's writing for I have seen it it often before he at once commanded the party to stop pillaging and left a man in charge of the house to protect her until the regular Provost guard should be established I then asked her if the regular guard or Sentinel had been as good to her she assured me that he was a very nice young man that he had been telling her all about his family in Iowa and that at that very instant of time he was in another room minding her baby now this lady had good sense and tact and had thus turned aside a party who in 5 minutes more would have rifled her premises of all that was good to eat or wear I made her a long social visit and before leaving Colombia gave her a half tarce of rice and about 100 lb of ham from our own mess stores in like manner that same evening I found a Mrs Simons another acquaintance the wife of the brother of honorable James Simons of Charleston who had been miss rag when Colombia was on fire that night and her house in danger I had her family and effects carried to my own headquarters gave them my own room and bed and on leaving Colombia the next day supplied her with a half barrel of hams and a half tarce of rice I mentioned these specific facts to show that personally I Had No Malice or desire to destroy that City or its inhabitants as is generally believed leaved at the South having walked over much of the suburbs of Colombia in the afternoon and being tired I lay down on a bed in Blandon Duncan's house to rest soon after dark I became conscious that a Bright Light was shining on the walls and calling someone of my staff major Nichols I think to inquire the cause he said there seemed to be a house on fire down about the market house the same high wind still prevailed and fearing the consequences I bad him go in person to see if the Provost guard were doing its Duty he soon returned and reported that the block of buildings directly opposite the burning cotton of that morning was on fire and that it was spreading but he had found General Woods on the ground with plenty of men trying to put the fire out or at least to prevent its extension the fire continued to increase and the whole Heavens became lurd I dispatched messenger after Messenger to General's Howard Logan and woods and received from them repeated assurance that all was being done that could be done but that the high wind was spreading the Flames beyond all control these General officers were on the ground all night and Hazen's division had been brought into the city to assist Woods division already there about 11:00 at night I went downtown myself Colonel Daton with me we walked to Mr simons's house from which I could see the Flames Rising High high in the air and could hear the Roaring of the fire I advised the ladies to move to my headquarters had our own headquarters wagons hitched up and their effects carried there as a place of Greater safety the whole air was full of Sparks and the flying masses of cotton shingles Etc some of which were carried four or five blocks and started new fires the men seemed generally under good control and certainly labored hard to girdle the fire to to prevent its spreading but so long as the high wind prevailed it was simply Beyond human possibility fortunately about 3:00 or 4: a.m. the wind moderated and gradually the fire was got under control but it had burned out the very Heart of the City embracing several churches the old state house and the school or Asylum of that very Sister of Charity who had appealed for my personal protection nickerson's hotel in which several of my staff were quartered was burned down but the houses occupied by myself generals Howard and Logan were not burned at all many of the people thought that this fire was deliberately planned and executed this is not true it was accidental and in my judgment began with the cotton which general Hampton's men had set fire to on leaving the city whether by his orders or not is not Material which fire was partially subdued early in the day by our men but when night came the high wind fed again into full Blaze carried it against the frame houses which caught like tnder and soon spread beyond our control this whole subject has been thoroughly and judicially investigated in some cotton cases by the mixed Commission on American and British claims under the Treaty of Washington which commission failed to award a verdict in favor of the English claim and thereby settled the fact that the destruction of property in Colombia during that night did not result from The Acts of the general government of the United States that is to say from my Army in my official report of this conflagration I distinctly charged it to General Wade Hampton and confess I did so pointedly to shake the faith of his people in him for he was in my opinion boastful and professed to be the special Champion of South Carolina the morning sun of February 18th Rose bright and clear over a ruined City about half of it was in ashes and in smoldering heaps many of the people were houseless and gathered in groups in the suburbs or in the open parks and spaces around their scanty piles of furniture General Howard in concert with the mayor did all that was possible to provide other houses for them and by my authority he turned turned over to the Sisters of Charity the Methodist College and to the mayor 500 beef cattle to help feed the people I also gave the mayor Dr Goodwin 100 muskets with which to arm a guard to maintain order after we should leave the neighborhood during the 18th and 19th we remained in Colombia General Howard's troops engaged in tearing up and destroying the railroad back toward the water e while a strong detail under the immediate supervision of Colonel oo United States Engineers destroyed the state Arsenal which was found to be well supplied with shot shell and ammunition these were hauled in wagons to the Saluda River under the supervision of Colonel Baylor chief of ordinance and emptied into deep water causing a very serious accident by the bursting of a percussion shell as it struck another on the margin of the water the the flame followed back a train of powder which had sifted out reached the wagons still partially loaded and exploded them killing 16 men and destroying several wagons and teams of mules we also destroyed several valuable foundaries and the factory of Confederate money the dyes had been carried away but about 60 hand presses remained there was also found an immense quantity of money in various stages of manufacturer which our men spent and gambled with in the most lavish manner having utterly ruined Colombia the right wing began its March northward toward windsboro on the 20th which we reached on the 21st and found General slokum with the left wing who had come by way of olon end of section 7 end of Sherman's March to the Sea and the burning of Columbia South Carolina from his memoir by

or most important goals of human life a hedonist strives to maximize net pleasure pleasure - pain however upon finally gaining said pleasure happiness may remain stationary ethical hedonism is the idea that all people have the right to do everything in their power to achieve the greatest amount of pleasure possible to them it is also the idea that every person's pleasure should far surpass their amount of pain ethical hedonism is said to have been started by eros tipis of Cyrene II a student of Socrates he held the idea that pleasure is the highest good topic etymology and lexicon the name derives from the Greek word for delight Heaton is Moe's Heaton is most from hadn't had own pleasure cognate via proto-indo-european swadeuce through ancient Greek Hadees with English sweet +

gilgamesh which was written soon after the invention of writing Sidora gave the following advice fill your belly day and night make merry let days be full of joy dance and make music day and night these things alone are the concern of men this may represent the first recorded advocacy of a hedonistic philosophy topic ancient Egypt scenes of a Harper entertaining guests at a feast were common in ancient Egyptian tombs see Harper's songs and sometimes contained hedonistic elements calling guests to submit to pleasure because they cannot be sure that they will be rewarded for good with a blissful afterlife the following is a song that tributed to the reign of one of the pharaohs around the time of the 12th dynasty and the text was used in the 18th and 19th dynasties topic classic schools of antiquity Democritus seems to be the earliest philosopher on record to have categorically embraced a hedonistic philosophy he called the supreme goal of life contentment or cheerfulness claiming that joy and sorrow are the distinguishing mark of things beneficial and harmful decays 68b 188 topic cyrenaic school the cyrenaic swear an ultra hedonist Greek school of philosophy founded in the 4th century BC supposedly by eros tipis of Cyrene II although many of the principals of the school are believed to have been formalized by his grandson of the same name eros tipis the younger the school was so called after Cyrene II the birthplace of eros tipis it was one of the earliest Socratic schools the ceranae ik stop that the only intrinsic good is pleasure which meant not just the absence of pain but positively enjoyable momentary sensations of these physical ones are stronger than those of anticipation or memory they did however recognize the value of social obligation and that pleasure could be gained from altruism Theodorus the atheist was a latter exponent of hedonism who was a disciple of younger eros tipis while becoming well known for expounding atheism the school died out within a century and was replaced by Epicureanism the ceranae accept achill theory of knowledge they reduced logic to a basic doctrine concerning the criterion of truth they thought that we can know with certainty our immediate sense experiences for instance that I am having a sweet sensation now but can know nothing about the nature of the objects that cause these sensations for instance that the honey is sweet they also denied that we can have knowledge of what the experiences of other people are like all knowledge is immediate sensation these sensations are motions which are purely subjective and are painful indifferent or Pleasant according as their violent tranquil or gentle further they are entirely individual and can in no way be described as constituting absolute objective knowledge feeling therefore is the only possible criterion of knowledge and of conduct our ways of being affected are alone knowable thus the sole aim for everyone should be pleasure see Rene ISM deduces a single universal aim for all people which is pleasure furthermore all feeling is momentary and homogeneous it follows that past and future pleasure have no real existence for us and that among present pleasures there is no distinction of kind Socrates had spoken of the higher pleasures of the intellect the C Rene Exton IDE the validity of this distinction and said that bodily pleasures being more simple in more were preferable momentary pleasure preferably of a physical kind is the only good for humans however some actions which give immediate pleasure can create more than their equivalent of pain the wise person should be in control of pleasures rather than be enslaved to them otherwise pain will result and this requires judgment to evaluate the different pleasures of life regard should be paid to law in custom because even though these things have no intrinsic value on their own violating them will lead to unpleasant penalties being imposed by others likewise friendship and justice are useful because of the pleasure they provide thus the cyrenaic Cinthia mystic value of social obligation and altruistic behavior topic Epicureanism epicureanism as a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of Epicurus C 341 C 270 bc founded around 307 BC Epicurus was an atomic materialist following in the steps of Democritus and leucippus his materialism led him to a general stance against superstition or the idea of divine intervention following eros tipis about whom very little is known at the Cure is believed that the greatest good was to seek modest sustainable pleasure in the form of a state of tranquillity and freedom from fear ataraxia and absence of bodily pain Epona through knowledge of the workings of the world in the limits of our desires the combination of these two states is supposed to constitute happiness in its highest form although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure as the sole intrinsic good its conception of absence of pain as the greatest pleasure in its advocacy of a simple life make it different from hedonism as it is commonly understood in the epicurean view the highest pleasure tranquility and freedom from fear was obtained by knowledge friendship and living a virtuous and temperate life he lauded the enjoyment of simple pleasures by which he meant abstaining from bodily desires such as sex and appetites verging on asceticism he argued that when eating one should not eat too richly for it could lead to dissatisfaction later such as the grim realization that one could not afford such delicacies in the future likewise sex could lead to increased lust and dissatisfaction with the sexual partner Epicurus did not articulate a broad system of social ethics that has survived but had a unique version of the Golden Rule it is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly agreeing neither to harm nor be harmed and it is impossible to live wisely and well in justly without living a pleasant life epicureanism was originally a challenge to Platonism though later it became the main opponent of stoicism Epicurus and his followers shunned politics after the death of Epicurus his school was headed by her Markus later many epicurean societies flourished in the late Hellenistic era and during the Roman era such as those in do Chia Alexandria Road Xander : oh the poet Lucretia says it's most known Roman proponent by the end of the Roman Empire having undergone Christian attack and repression Epicureanism had all but died out and would be resurrected in the 17th century by the atomist Pierre Gassendi who adapted it to the Christian doctrine some writings by Epicurus have survived some scholars consider the epic poem on the nature of things by Lucretia stew present in one unified work the core arguments and theories of epicureanism many of the papyrus scrolls unearthed at the villa of the papyri at Herculaneum are epicurean texts at least some are thought to have belonged to the epicurean topic Yan jism Yan jism has been described as a form of psychological and ethical egoism the youngest philosophers believed in the importance of maintaining self-interest through keeping one's nature intact protecting one's uniqueness and not letting the body be tied by other things disagreeing with the Confucian virtues of leap propriety Ren humanist and yet righteousness and the legalist virtue of FA law the Yin just saw way well or everything for myself as the only virtue necessary for self cultivation individual pleasure is considered desirable like in hedonism but not at the expense of the health of the individual the Yin just saw individual well-being as the prime purpose of life and considered anything that hindered that well-being immoral and unnecessary the main focus of the Yan juice was on the concept of shame or human nature a term later incorporated by Mencius into Confucianism the Shang according to psychologists AC Graham is a person's proper course of development in life individuals can only rationally care for their own shame and should not naively have to support the Shing of other people even if it means opposing the emperor in this sense Yan jism is a direct attack on Confucianism by implying that the power of the Emperor defended in Confucianism is baseless and destructive and that state intervention is morally flawed the Confucian philosopher Mencius depicts yin jism as the direct opposite of mohism while mohism promotes the idea of universal love and impartial caring the yin Just's acted only for themselves rejecting the altruism of mohism he criticized the yin just too selfish ignoring the duty of serving the public and caring only for personal concerns mencius saw Confucianism as the middle way between mohism and yang jism topic Judaism Judaism believes that mankind was created for pleasure as God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden Eden being the Hebrew word for pleasure in recent years rabbi Noah Weinberg articulated five different levels of pleasure connecting with God as the highest possible pleasure the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament proclaims there is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil this also I saw is from the hand of God Ecclesiastes chapter 2 verse 24 topic Christianity ethical hedonism as part of Christian theology has also been a concept in some evangelical circles particularly in those of the reformed tradition the term Christian hedonism was first coined by Reformed Baptist theologian John Piper in his 1986 book desiring God my shortest summary of it is God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him or the chief end of man as to glorify God by enjoying him forever does Christian hedonism make a god out of pleasure no it says that we all make a god out of what we take most pleasure in Peiper States his term may describe the theology of Jonathan Edwards who in 1812 referred to a future enjoyment of him God in heaven already in the 17th century the atomist Pierre Gassendi had adapted Epicureanism to the Christian doctrine topic hinduism the concept of hedonism is also found in nastika heterodox philosophy such as the charvaka school however hedonism is criticized by a Stuka Orthodox schools of thought on the basis that it is inherently egoistic and therefore detrimental to spiritual liberation topic utilitarianism you utilitarianism addresses problems with moral motivation neglected by kantianism by giving a central role to happiness it is an ethical theory holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes the overall good of the society it is thus one form of consequentialism meaning that the moral worth of an action is determined by its resulting outcome the most influential contributors to this theory are considered to be the eighteenth and nineteenth century British philosophers Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill conjoining hedonism as a view as to what is good for people - utilitarianism has the result that all actions should be directed toward achieving the greatest total amount of happiness see hedonic calculus though consistent in their pursuit of happiness Bentham and Mills versions of hedonism differ there are two somewhat basic schools of thought on hedonism one school grouped around Bentham defends a quantitative approach Bentham believed that the value of a pleasure could be quantitatively understood essentially he believed the value of pleasure to be its intensity multiplied by its duration so it was not just a number of pleasures but their intensity and how long they lasted that must be taken into account other proponents like Mill argue a qualitative approach Mill believed that there can be different levels of pleasure higher quality pleasure is better than lower quality pleasure Mill also argues that simpler beings he often refers to pigs have an easier access to the simpler pleasures since they do not see other aspects of life they can simply indulge in their lower pleasures the more elaborate beings tend to spend more thought on other matters and hence lessen the time for simple pleasure it is therefore more difficult for them to indulge in such simple pleasures in the same manner pick liberty image an extreme form of hedonism that views moral and sexual restraint is either unnecessary or harmful famous proponents are Marquis de Sade and John Wilma topic contemporary approaches contemporary

of and challenges to science painting gastronomy sex and sensuality bioethics wine and writing his most ambitious project as his projected six volume counter history of philosophy of which three have been published for him in opposition to the ascetic ideal advocated by the dominant school of thought hedonism suggests identifying the highest good with your own pleasure and that of others the one must never be indulged at the expense of sacrificing the other obtaining this balance my pleasure at the same time as the pleasure of others presumes that we approach the subject from different angles political ethical aesthetic erotic bioethical pedagogical historiographical for this he has written books on each of these facets of the same worldview his philosophy aims for micro revolutions or revolutions of the individual and small groups of like-minded people who live by his hedonistic libertarian values topic abolitionism the abolitionist society is a transhumanist group calling for the abolition of suffering and all sentient life through the use of advanced biotechnology their core philosophy as negative utilitarianism David Pierce as a theorist of this perspective and he believes and promotes the idea that there exists a strong ethical imperative for humans to work towards the abolition of suffering in all sentient life his book length internet manifesto the hedonistic imperative outlines how technologies such as genetic engineering nanotechnology pharmacology and neurosurgery could potentially converge to eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience among human and non-human animals replacing suffering with gradients of well-being a project he refers to as Paradise Engineering a transhumanist and a vegan Peirce believes that we or our future post human descendants have a responsibility not only to avoid cruelty to animals within human society but also to alleviate the suffering of animals in the wild in a talk David Pierce gave at the future of humanity Institute and at the charity international happiness conference he said sadly what won't abolish suffering or at least not on its own is socio-economic reform or exponential economic growth or technological progress in the usual sense or any of the traditional panaceas for solving the world's ills improving the external environment is admirable and important but such improvement can't recalibrate our hedonic treadmill above a genetically constrained ceiling twin studies confirm there is a partially heritable set point of well-being or ill-being around which we all tend to fluctuate over the course of a lifetime this set point varies between individuals it's possible to lower an individual's hedonic setpoint by inflicting prolonged uncontrolled stress but even this reset is not as easy as it sounds suicide rates typically go down in wartime and six months after a quadriplegia inducing accident studies suggest that we are typically neither more nor less unhappy than we were before the catastrophic event unfortunately attempts to build an ideal society can't overcome this biological ceiling whether utopias of the left or right free market or socialist religious or secular futuristic high-tech or simply cultivating one's garden even if everything that traditional futurists have asked for is delivered eternal youth unlimited material wealth morphological freedom super intelligence immersive VR molecular nanotechnology etc there is no evidence that our subjective quality of life would on average significantly surpass the quality of life of our hunter-gatherer ancestors or a New Guinea tribesmen today in the absence of reward pathway enrichment this claim is difficult to prove in the absence of sophisticated neural scanning but objective indices of psychological distress eg suicide rates bear it out unenhanced humans will still be prey to the spectrum of Darwinian emotions ranging from terrible suffering to petit disappointments and frustrations sadness anxiety jealousy existential angst their biology is part of what it means to be human subjectively unpleasant states of consciousness exist because they were genetically adaptive each of our core emotions had a distinct signaling role in our evolutionary past they tended to promote behaviors that enhance the inclusive fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment topic hedonism as a scientific basis for long-term future forecasting Russian physicist and philosopher Victor Arghandab argues that hedonism is not only a philosophical but also a verifiable scientific hypothesis in 2014 he suggested postulates of pleasure principle confirmation of which would lead to a new scientific discipline head--i dynamics hejdå dynamics would be able to forecast the distant future development of human civilization and even the probable structure and psychology of other rational beings within the universe in order to build such a theory science must discover the neural correlate of pleasure neuro physiological parameter unambiguously corresponding to the feeling of pleasure hedonic tone according to Argonaut post humans will be able to reprogram their motivations in an arbitrary manner to get pleasure from any programmed activity and if pleasure principle postulates are true then general direction of civilization development is obvious maximization of integral happiness in post human life product of lifespan and average happiness post humans will avoid constant pleasure stimulation because it is incompatible with rational behavior required to prolong life however in average they can become much happier than modern humans many other aspects of post human society could be predicted by headed dynamics if the neural correlate of pleasure were discovered for example optimal number of individuals their optimal body size whether it matters for happiness or not and the degree of aggression topic criticisms critics of hedonism have objected to its exclusive concentration on pleasure as valuable in particular GE more offered a thought experiment in criticism of pleasure as the sole bearer of value he imagined two worlds one of exceeding beauty and the other a heap of filth neither of these worlds will be experienced by anyone the question then is if it is better for the beautiful world to exist in the heap of filth in this more implied that states of affairs have value beyond conscious pleasure which he said spoke against the validity of hedonism topic Islamic criticisms in Islam God admonished mankind not to love the worldly pleasures since they are related with greed and sources of sinful habits he also threatened those who prefer worldly life rather than hereafter with hell few Muslim scholars believe that God doesn't ask for the renunciation of all pleasure but rather for the deliverance of corresponding responsibilities which come with pleasure those who choose the worldly life and its pleasures will be given proper recompense for their deeds in this life and will not suffer any loss such people will receive nothing in the next life except Hellfire their deeds will be made devoid of all virtue and their efforts

Py9EEoqCRpc	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9EEoqCRpc	Energy Storage Solution; Li Metal \| Shirley Meng; Martin Winter \| StorageX Symposium	good morning california and good afternoon and good evening other parts of the world i would like to start by inviting professor shirley mung and professor martin winter onto the stage to kick off the seventh event of storage x symposium in the past a few months you have been seen storage x symposium has been having amazing speakers to talk about energy storage and this event is there's no difference we now have another two outstanding bear face scientists to come here to share with us about their work the two speakers a professor shirley mung he's a professor in the university of california san diego all of you know shirley shirley has been one of the leading scientists and many aspects of the batteries she has been very active and developing new tools new understanding to the very important battery problem uh she is the winner of many awards i would like to just point out a few she's the fellow of uh electrochemical society and she's also in the bathroom division playing a very important role right there and as a well particular honor for me i have been working with shirley together and the battery 500 consortium and recently i want to say congratulations to shirley uh she's a key team member i saw the news winning the national science foundation a new research center war right there this quite a number of dollars associated with that to support the research and uc san diego our second speaker martin winter he's a professor at the university of munster well martin of course has been a long time leader in the battlefield if you look into his cv i i would say he's he has one probably all the awards possible in electrochemical society and also in the international society of electrochemistry he's truly a leader not only scientifically but also he's leading the effort in germany and and european unions and developing the batteries for ev and he has many titles right there i will not repeat it is my great honor today to have both of you to come to the stage to show with us about your very exciting research let's start from shirley please shelly thank you yi thank you very much for the kind introduction i wanted to also take this opportunity to thank stanford university for providing this wonderful platform for us to exchange uh ideas during this uh extraordinary time uh so let me get started the uh on the major content of my talk um so i believe in the audience for this audience most of the people are very familiar with the lithium-ion battery technology we are very lucky that uh last year professor whittingham professor good enough and dr yoshino won the 2019 nobel prize for chemistry so the intercalation chemistry uh has worked extremely well uh in the last few decades so i won't repeat the fundamentals of the uh lithium-ion batteries but just want to point out that to increase energy density has been the forever pursuit of our field uh and there's three major things i think the voltage is mostly governed by thermodynamics we know the next equation where the chemical potential of the lydian in the cathode than the anode materials the differences gave the voltage and i want to remind everyone in the nernst equation the number of electrons that transfer the iron is actually on the denominator and this is one of the reasons that many of the multivalent cations tend to have low voltage but alkaline metals like lithium sodium potassium has the potential of having relatively high voltage so capacity is mostly governed by materials when we have the intercalation compounds you can see the capacity is limited but later you're going to hear about using metallic lithium as the anode where we go away from intercalation chemistry this is the time where the capacity can see a significant increase and i want to point out that the electrolyte research has become my latest passion because we do see quite a lot of materials that can enable high voltage operation based on thermodynamics however the limit on the electrolyte has delayed our progress in terms of enabling higher voltage battery materials so um the major drivers i would say you know one of the major drivers is really this holy grail quotation a lot of people use that to enable metallic lithium uh in 1976 when professor stan whittingham published 19 the science paper the metallic lithium was already used in that work and the generation zero of our rechargeable battery actually do use lithium metal so 40 50 years later now that we are looking at this technology again the major differences is well displayed by this graph where we are going to use very very limited lithium reservoir sometimes you have seen in the field the people use it the so-called anode-free configuration because the castle the nmc already have a lot of lithium content however the lithium metal research still is extremely important if we want to move towards lithium-free castle such as sulfur castled so i think the battery 5 consortium has a very clear road map in terms of that our mission to enable lydian metal batteries is very critical for the future of the battery field and at the same time again here that we have to enable higher voltage wider voltage operation and longer cycle without the sacrifice safety and cost so the electrolyte again becomes extremely important enabler for the future battery technology so let's take a close look at the electrolyte so of course i highly recommend you read the dr country's uh chemical review papers this is where i learn most of the important knowledge on the uh lithian iron organic electrolytes uh so i want to point out that the exploration of the electrolyte uh also uh you know many pioneers have worked in this field uh the um components in the battery the salt the solvent uh and lithium pf6 is absolutely not the best choice however it does have a very well balanced properties compared to the other types of thoughts of course i didn't put the lithium fsi and the lithium tfsi here as many people know these are the thoughts that have been catching a lot of attentions lately um the uh progress of the electrolyte discovery you can see that uh it started all the way back to the 1960s uh where i think the pc propylene carbonate was explored and ethylene carbonate does not uh come into play until the late 80s this is where the first rechargeable battery uh based on the graphite anode is used uh however we have been uh you know having different varieties of these uh eecs and carbonate based electrolytes for quite some time and we are actually facing challenges to use the same electrolyte to enable lithium metal and especially to enable low temperature performances so i was very fortunate that my uh students and the postdocs and now the ceo of the startup company south8 uh dr uh uh cyrus rasmuji uh who came to me with a very very interesting idea so um i think i assume everybody knows but i actually uh have to say when sh when he discussed with me why a gas molecules can be used as electrolyte he made a very strong case where he showed the picture of the ethylene carbonate at room temperature is actually a solid compound so the uh once it's mixed with the linear carbonate you know the liquid is the our version of commercial electrolyte so when we think about electrolytes you know the reduction resistance so you don't want electrolytes to be easily reduced and you don't want them to be easily oxidized and ec actually lies right there if you can follow my cursor um and when we did the uh computation exploration of the different solvent property uh cyrus showed me nicely that these gas molecules actually has extremely high electron affinity and at the same time very high ionization potential so if you look at the ranking just based on the dielectric constant and the viscosity uh of course some of these gas molecules uh doesn't look very attractive however if you look at the ratio of the uh viscosity a dielectric over a viscosity these small molecules can assure very very low viscosity even at extremely low temperature the only differences between these gas molecules and those organic compounds like acid and carbonated diet ethylene carbonate is that you need to actually confine them in the container where the pressure builds up once the pressure builds up the self-equilibrium pressure will liquefy those gas and that's the major idea behind a liquefied gas electrolyte and we are also very fortunate to all those new thoughts lithium tfsi fsi does dissolve in those electrolytes so the first generation of these liquefied electrolytes displayed some very astonishingly nice physical and chemical properties for us to use as a new generation of electrolytes so when we reported a couple years ago we enabled the lithium metal cycling we demonstrated the minus 60c degree celsius operation uh i think i just want to say that it was extremely exciting for us however we do realize there's still a lot of unresolved challenges in the liquefied gas electrolyte for instance the operation temperature is limited to 40c because of the supercritical phase transition for the gaseous phases they actually the salt will precipitate and the conductivity will drop and perhaps one of the most bothering factor for me is that the solubility of the salt seems to only limit the 2.1 or 0.2 molar f and we can enable the lithium cycling efficiency around the 97.5 um and at the same time uh if we look at how lithium metal behaved in this liquefied gas electrolyte we do see some encouraging of aspects for instance after very long cycling we look at the current collector the lithium metal doesn't display the kind of dendritic features like we always see in the carbonate-based electrolyte even though the efficiency is low in order to enable very long cycling little metal anode i think everybody understand that the efficiency has to rise uh possibly to three nines uh and this is an extremely difficult task but i want to share with you today how we can actually uh increase the lighting solubility and widen the operating voltage as well the temperature using some of the latest electrolyte design concept and the new computational and characterization tools that enable us to understand better those components in the electrolyte therefore we can actually progress towards three nine efficiencies for the um so we actually again you know the lithium-ion field provided us some very exciting concept i think everyone has seen a couple weeks ago the talk on the electrolytes where high concentration electrolytes are localized the high concentration electrolytes are introduced what's the difference between those electrolytes is that of course that comes in the first generation of the high concentration electrolyte the increase of these uh lithium salts uh will introduce the to this very highly viscous electrolyte but most of the lithium they are bond with the solvent molecules so there's a very few free solvents flowing around but one of the challenges to have this high concentration electrolyte is that the viscosity is so high that if we want to have this electrolyte penetrate to the porous castle we face some challenges uh so later many scientists uh you know professor yamada's group pacific northwestern national lab dr kung ju they have introduced the diluent that uh still can enable locally very highly concentrated uh electrolytes with the lydian salts and then the dilutant can actually help to reduce the viscosity so we don't face this problem in terms of high concentration but in the liquefied gas electrolyte very interestingly we can borrow the concept and think about what kind of co-solvent we can actually utilize to enable the higher concentration of salt so if one of the examples we showed is that we can use the thf which is miscible with the floral methane liquefied fluoromethane and the percentage is actually very low and because of that we can increase the salt solubility by 10 times um this uh at the same time improve the conductivity so we collaborate with dr oleg boarding also in from army research lab uh he very nicely used the molecular dynamics uh to demonstrate that because of this particular configuration we have a very similar situation as the highly concentrated electrolyte in the liquid phase where most of the tfsi will be bonded and you have actually very good ionic uh conductivity at the same time very little free solvents uh flowing around and the transference number for this liquefied gas electrolyte has the lithium transference number close to 0.8 which is extremely high among the liquify among the liquid form of electrolyte um so i think some people know that i'm a big fan like professor etay that's a big fan using cryogenic techniques to probe lithium metal probe sei i think the uh work has demonstrated that the cryogenic conditions is necessary for us to characterize lithium metal so what happened in this liquefied gas electrolyte with cycle the lithium so i have three short movie to show you the first one is in the regular carbonated electrolyte and the second one will be in the [Music] ether based electrolyte where people are awesome okay so you can see the middle one is ether the third one is actually in our liquefied gas electrolytes uh this particular technique uh with the uh fei uh thermofish scientifics um duo being with the cryo stage can very nicely show us that the uh density of the lithium metal that has been deposited uh if you don't use a cryogenic technique the data can be a little bit misleading because there's a lot of artifacts introduced by the guardian ions uh lydia nagalian does alloy at room temperature so this we can help us to quantify i think the quantification is the nice part of these techniques where you can actually quantify the amount of void surfaces so assuming of course there's some hypothesis in this analysis where we are assuming the less dense part occupied by the sei of void you can see the dramatic reduction uh in terms of the porosities the ether based electrolyte already way better than the carbonator-based electrolyte easter based electrolyte typically produce those granular liquid metal crystals the liquefied gas electrolyte actually shows some very very encouraging uh morphology for the lithium metal where you can see we are seeing less than one percent of the porosity in the liquid vital gas electrolyte so another very exciting things that happened with this co-solvent idea is that we are able to now enable very high critical current density without any special three-dimensional 3d current collector this is on the flat uh stainless steel substrate you can actually see a very good uh high you know the over potential almost linearly scale with the current density increase so i also want to take this opportunity to point out that getting to 3 9 is already difficult but having a potential stat that has 0.1 percent aerobats is not a good design so i think that moving forward our field will need some help in the metrology development we have this plus minus 0.3 percent number variations uh of course you know temperature control is important but i think as we progress towards very high efficiency lithium cycling uh we will also have to pay attention to the hardware uh and the last no but not least you know uh we are very uh pleased to see the low temperature uh uh operation of the lithium metal batteries uh this is the over potential and this is the current density and we show the different colors of the temperature so in our lab can do -60c very comfortably and you can observe that of course the overpotential increase very dramatically but in principle it is possible to have reasonable current critical current density at even temperature as low as minus 60c um the second important progress for the liquefied gas electrolyte is since you can use thf we can also try other solvents but our search is not just about trial and error in fact in this particular case my student dan davis has been working with dr boarding to look for other solvents and what they found is acetonitrile could be a very good co-solvent if we would like to widen the operating temperature of the liquefied gas electrolyte so in the most latest reports to the open field we showed that with this new generation of the liquefied gas electrolyte the temperature operation temperature can be widened to a much higher temperature above 70 degrees celsius and still maintain an extremely good uh conductivity that you know this red curve here shows that a very uh good conductivity throughout a wide temperature range from my perspective when i actually look at you know my student young young took the minus 60 degrees celsius departed the lydian to the uh cryo fib what we see is a happy surprise so here he was depositing 15 micrometer lydian and we see the morphology of this lithium is extremely dense i didn't show the room temperature when the room temperature one looks even more beautiful so um with this uh progress i want to point out that uh you know these new class of electrolyte exhibits extremely exciting opportunity for us uh to look at some of the new uh electrode chemistry away from intercalation particularly for the alkaline metal now i have shown you the low temperature what about the high temperature since my talk is that saying that we have to go to the high temperature so the exciting field i think without saying people you know know that the solid electrolyte is one of the strong contender for high temperature operation so of course these cells made in my lab they are still relatively low energy density i think we made it in 2019 uh you know the the the progress of the solid-state uh electrolyte you know we started the about eight years ago and we know at that time already our colleagues in japan have already made a lot of progress in the past uh you know we are playing catch up and the enabling major factor is that we moved away from pella ties the cells go to part type of cells uh where we can make thin electrolytes which i will mention later how engineering-wise how that can be achieved and there's a lot of chemistry involved as well and we also reported the importance of pressure control to enable liquid metal cycling and right now we are in the stage to lower the electrolyte amount in the thick electrode loading and the progress you know a couple of months ago reported by samsung that's showing that a very promising future for the solid state batteries and i do want to say that uh you know my perspective it that the solid state provides such a wonderful platform uh for us to think about what kind of new electrochemistry new characterization science we can do and that's truly exciting for us so again you know for electrolytes i showed this pictures just keep reminding people the homolumo picture of the lithium-ion liquid cell in the solid space polymer oxides and sulfides all have been explored and one of the reasons oxides was so popular is because it's a stability right so if you look at where the metallic lithium silicon graphite and all the castle where their potential you know the voltage windows are and then you think about the electrolyte where the sci ci are located uh it's kind of interesting the sulfide electrolyte can ever work because obviously it has neither reductive stability nor oxidative stability and this has been demonstrated very well by both computational and uh experimental group but this is where i think interfacial science and interfacial engineering really shine as uh almost like a magic where they can uh enable uh stable cycling uh because we truly understand that the sulfide stability is very limited so instead of fighting it we could think about how we can actually utilize those unique properties of the sulfides um so uh with that i think you know uh the topic is very broad so today i can only mention a couple very brief examples uh but i want to uh emphasize that uh my take on the interfacial in solid-state batteries is it is indeed way more complicated than the liquefied than uh sorry then the liquid electrolytes uh so one of the major reasons that we did this review in chemical reviews is that we want to really point out that in the solid state electrolyte uh if we want any reasonably cost electrolytes that you know they are integrated with the castle uh i think having void is inevitable uh also you know the castle that still we still stay with the intercalation compound so those castles do have volume changes right so once the void gets generated if there's a minor volume change in the solid state and we have more numbers of interface uh and if we have those interface in the solid state batteries same with the liquid type you really have to think about both chemical stability because the cell is going to sit there next to the sulfide electrolyte as well as electric capability because you're going to sweep the voltage so the reactivity of the castle is going to change because you extracted the lydian so those complexity make our research on the solid data battery extremely challenging and interesting so um you know coding is one of the best strategies for us to tackle the castle the stability and i will give short examples and i want to emphasize here that my colleague professor schreiben own has been working with us for many years and we have many candidates for the coating materials and i think lithium ioba is not the only one that can work so first let me talk about the anode side of the interfacial story so on the negative electrode side for very long time we have trouble enable leaky metal cycling uh i think most of people know in the early days of solid state we do very strong pressing i mean this kind of pressure you know people keep telling me is impractical not practical for real cells but we do need to when we fabricate these because they are all solid state so you need a very high pressure to establish the contact because otherwise the cell impedance is just skyrocketing so you need a very high uh during the fabrication high pressure but when we cycle the battery i think you know the students uh han who did this work very nicely demonstrated that you need to release the stress like let it go when you are cycling it and five megapascal is the critical pressure uh uh level you can do lower i think we realize you know there's a lot of people in the field working on the mechanical property of the lithium metal so below 5 megapascal the cells can cycle quite well uh even though the critical current density is still relatively low i think our sales now reach almost a thousand cycles and i think these are the things that we feel the solid state batteries provided a platform for us to learn some new signs because here obviously the mechanical properties of the materials come to a critical play and using pressure as a control knob uh you know we have not been doing that enough okay so for the castle example very quickly i want to point out uh there's a chemical stability because when you make nca or nmc next to the sulfide you put the oxides next to a sulfide there will be reactions right so that's what we call the chemical stability what's the electrochemical stability because when you sweep the voltage you take leaking out the reactivity of those nmc and nca will change so if you want to have a stable coating the coating has to be stable when the electrochemical status of the castle change so based on both experiment and the computation we did with professor tripping owns group we can demonstrate very nicely that the coatings that can they can actually significantly improve you know if you coat the ncaa with the nylbates you can actually stabilize the castle and uh i want to stress here you know again not literal base is not the only uh uh castle that can cycle so the coatings uh i think you know i'm running short of time i just want to show that if it's quoted very effectively very thin coating is needed 5 to 10 nanometer and you can have very prolonged cycling for the castle the materials so um that brings me to the message you know with these two short examples i think in the leaking iron sales i was very fortunate in the last 10 years working together with professor stan whittingham claire gray many pioneers in the field we build this very nice platform from atomic level to electrode level where the interface and the structure chemistry everything is properly characterized and that's where enable us you know go from the two nines to three nines uh in the nmc or nca type of castle materials and liquid electrolyte now with the solid state uh i think the interface really presents some big challenges and we have to think about new tools we have to actually push the boundaries the buried interface is the very very difficult thing to enable uh true operando characterization because most of these solid-state cells they uh contains all solid you cannot really evaporate the electrolytes so the electrolyte is part of the characterization but those electrolytes they are extremely electronically insulating they are ionically conductive but they are extremely electronically uh insulating so if what we want to use the x-ray and the electron based characterization techniques uh we are facing some challenge of course in the field uh you know both the um i think professor yugyanik has didn't done very nice work on the in situ xps and i think you're going to see more nmr based and ct based techniques uh to actually um discover what is the dynamic nature in this uh solid solid interface and the challenge is really that uh you know we have to uh keep pushing the boundaries so that we can have a better understanding of the interface so i'm almost coming to the end of my uh presentation i think this one is uh pretty uh interesting now with the sulfide the solid electrolyte very nice solvent has been found you need to use uh you know non-polar solvent where you can actually make these very nice dispersed um solutions where the solid electrolyte can be a potential drop-in solution in the current processing line and my colleague professor jin chun have helped me a lot in finding out what is the best uh uh solvent to use so to conclude the solid state apart uh i think that the solid electrolyte uh you know next couple years we're going to see very exciting progress both academically and also in the industry side uh i think i hope that showed you that uh you know the characterization is a very important part now if we want to move to the three nine efficiencies we need a very sensitive quantifiable tools to study those electrolyte and scalability now become in coming to question and i do think that uh you know this part we will work very closely with our industry partner last but not least i want to also take the opportunity to say both the liquefied gas electrolyte as well as the solid-state electrolytes at least in my research group in our campus we highly highly paying attention to the recycler ability anybody who does the new battery chemistry we must think sustainability takes stability very very seriously because we will imagine a world that there will be terawatts of a terawatt hour of batteries being built so with that thank you very much uh um i think it's my great honor to work with my colleagues um who are really extremely collaborative uh and all the industry uh partners that have enabled those research so the liquefied gas electrolyte was uh supported by apa e because it's such a crazy idea and uh you know we have very good partners with lg chem and michelle i'm very grateful for the support and for lithium metal batteries we continue like he said with the battery 500 consortium continue to push the boundaries and for all the uh characterization tools uh the basic energy signs provided a huge support to enable my group to do a lot of the microscopy work with that thank you very much okay surely great talk you know um you presented to us two different type of exciting electrolytes what what's the opportunity and also challenges right there there are tons of questions very interesting one piling up for you i'm glad to see that so let's start from your uh liquefied uh gas electrolyte uh the first question is related to low temperature and high temperature when you change the temperature this plating morphology can change so how do you explain this uh morphology change of lithium plating at low at high temperature they are different uh actually in our um liquefied gas electrolyte the difference we're showing is between the different electrolytes in fact in the liquefied gas electrolyte we always get a very dense lydian there's no difference between low temperature okay but between different electrolytes i think uh this is the part uh you know uh i think you know that in any work we do now is look at the nucleation of lithium ion and the field is facing a lot of the difficulties because operando nucleation for lithium metal is still not enabled right we we always deposit the lithium and then we put the microscope so i think in order to truly answer the question i mean there's a lot of hypothesis of course so in the liquified gas electrolyte please remember we don't have long carbon chain so we only have small molecules therefore the sei component are fundamentally different from the carbonate and the ether based electrolyte so this could be one of the major contributing factors that certain components of the sei is missing in the liquid photographs electrolyte and that caused the morphology difference yeah so surely speaking of that the sci these your liquify uh electrolyte have you looked at this carefully and the cryo em what's the difference between your sc and the liquefied electron electrolyte compared with carbonate or either did you see big difference uh yeah so one of the biggest difference is actually we don't have any alkyl lithium oh yeah okay so our molecule is cf based so uh there is really no uh certain those elements are not present but i i think with cryo-em you know we cannot see those uh accuracy anyway so yeah i think that uh this gave us the very good question if this is the ultimate culprit because we don't know nobody has actually shown how exactly alkyl lydian look like yeah because you have this fluorinated methane do you see more lithium fluoride and the sci uh yeah so i think that uh there's definitely a lot more lithium fluoride compared to the traditional low concentration carbonate electrolytes uh do we do see most of our sei component they are consisted of the lithium oxide and lithium fluoride uh i think the part that we still need to work more on it is because in our early version of electrolyte the carbon dioxide is being used as an additive uh so to make the you know carbonate is becoming a it's definitely there they can carbonate but we don't know it's the chemical reaction or it's actually electrochemical formed sei okay yeah so next question shirley um what's the rationale and when you choose this code solvent and what's the guiding principle right there for this liquefied electrolyte maybe i can be more in detail some of the thought in my mind is you have talked about thf right you have been talking about uh also acetone nitrite yeah certainly thf i still nitrite uh these i mean to me when i look at that i say well it's a dissolving along it's a cathode uh stability uh it's not very good but in the liquify electrolyte condition it might be different can you make a comment about the principle and i know it's wide per parameter window windows right there give you yeah so for th f and acetonitrile we decided to release to the public because of course cyrus in south aid has met many more magic formulations but the thcf and the acetonitrile are good learning examples so if you think about electro affinity which is the reduction resistance and the oxidative resistance so ester nitrile is bad for reduction but good for oxidation resistance so acetonitrile actually is not bad for the resistance for oxidation but it's very poor for the uh but i think when you actually just put a small amount think about the the function of thf and ester nitrile is going to bind the lithium salt so they're not playing as the major solvent so the solvent the major solvent goal is still played by the fm and and i think in a couple of months we will release the data on the dfm as well and those solvents because of the in highly concentrated electrolyte if you remember some of the ether they can go high voltage because concentration so we're basically borrowing the similar concept where we have each of the solvent play its own role so the ethno nitrile even though the reduction potential reduction resistance is not good but we found if you only add a very small control amount its main job is to bind the salt not to participate in the electrochemical yeah so i guess your your answer to this question also partially answer another question so saying you know we so thf right there that's must be solvated partially with lithium ion and how to explain the coulombic efficiency improvement i think you kind of also related to these questions so let me move on to the uh next question um there's a person asking this i think it's kind of interesting uh it's because it's fluorinated uh methane uh is that a concern you know this can be the uh uh you know global warming gas so i kind of you know greenhouse gas right there is that a concern in using yeah very action so uh if you people go back to our 2017 publication we have been very transparent upfront we actually gave all greenhouse gas index numbers to the fluorinated gas species when we first published and uh yeah so compared to the chlorinated version we are better right because you know that the the the fluorinated vertician is way better than the coordinated version but we are still not uh innocent okay so that's actually one of the major drivers for me to figure out the recycling of the electrolyte hundred percent and i tell people it's looking good because it's that species so uh yeah the refrigerator industry has figured it out and i'm sure we will figure it out and it also uh encourage us to really think about that we need to recycle it 100 percent okay so that's a visa of uh five more minutes let's move on to the asking the question related to uh surely related to your solid electrolyte work uh there's one question asking um can you comment on optimizing the cell pressure between good interface contact and then you also need to consider short circuiting and solid state batteries what are the main major factors that could contribute to this so good interface versus the shorting and the comment on the pressure effect yeah right so right now i believe that uh one a couple megapascal is the optimum pressure that we have uh you know we are happy to share with the field uh i do believe that uh uh one or two megapascal is not practical so i participated in some workshop uh where the oems are there they told me you know one atmosphere is a hundred kilopasca surely you want the 10 times more than that you know it's really kind of a a bottleneck and by the way there's a difference between uniaxial pressure we call it a stack pressure and also samsung reported these warm iso static pressure isostatic pressure is something you know very very costly to achieve so i think the answer is still i don't have an answer i would say the lithium metal for the solid state if we can't figure out the pressure knob we will still be uh relatively stuck in terms of the actual commercialization uh i think that uh you know you also did a lot of the host host method for lithium metal right one of the ways to think about how you can mitigate the pressure challenge is to think about how porous materials can change the pressure distribution i think that would be a potential direction to go but i don't have a clear answer if one megapascal is a possibility and then during the processing i think that people can use temperature to replace the pressure need but during the cell operation right now i don't have a better method than going to one or two megapasca yeah one more question shirley um there's an audience asking you about um since sulphide based solid electrolyte has smaller potential window stability do you think it is this strong contenders compared to oxide solid electrolyte yeah so uh i think uh what i shown the in uh my talk the sulfides the oxidative uh ability is no if you just use lps with the oxide it barely works right so then chlorine doping changed right so i mean we think about the phase space there right so this is the part i want to highly recommend the computational method it's really really very helpful for the screening of solid electrolyte so i think the sulfites uh you know the dopant goes into the sulfide the electrolyte sulfides are so friendly to any foreign elements so when they come in it will take it and that will change its stability so when we think about the coating right you think about the coating is changing on the castle so turn your mind around think about how those coating you know can you actually oh the solid electrolyte to change its chemical reactivity uh i think that science is definitely strong but at the same time i used to joke about you know i put a high school students making the sulfites ball milling very easy but if llco i have to put a phd students in order to obtain very very brilliant properties so i think that's the part where you know sulfite for me is more preferred because i want a materials that can be easily synthesized and can be easily scaled scale to really large quantity without much difficulties um i see uh between two of you or i i want to ask one question surely you talk about ceramic electrolyte interface and so on i'm so glad martin talked about polymer electrolytes solid polymeric i really like that as well i also work on that quite a bit so um then one question is for solid state bathroom polymer ceramic whether it's oxide sulfide you know looking at this whole glance do you have want to make comments you know which one you think might be more promising and why we all understand they have these advantages and advantages and disadvantages i want you to kind of in the final panel right here giving your will you're taking a minute for each of you to express you maybe surely you want to go first give me martin a break sure yeah i think that for lithium metal anode the polymer still remains an extremely promising approach the cell architecture might require polymer plus ceramics but which ceramics i think that's a question i cannot answer yet but i do believe that the hybrid approach will be necessary if we want to engineer a cell that lasts very very long as well as extremely safe so i think i think i think we cannot ignore hybrid electrolytes it's an underexplored opportunity of these new materials we also should think in layers if we come to let's say layered electrodes we can use multi-layer approaches where one electrolyte is in contact with the one electrode and the other electrolyte part is in the contact with the second electrode if we go away from layered approaches that we are for example using both composite electrodes on the anode and cathode sides just remember your torque e from last week where you were looking at carbon nanomaterials hollow carbon nanomaterials the interface can not only the let's say the homogeneous interface between lithium and electrolyte or between cathode and electrolyte cannot be only electrolyte it can be also an electrode very good and my next question is uh even bigger scale one thing you mentioned about european union's effort in germany's effort how to organize the the batteries activity forming centers you know this uh uh called a battery 2030 beyond right and us right here you know shirley and i participate in battery finder consortium there's also battery hub the caesar this efrc and we look at japan you look at china all have their own career their own program so anything two of you you know you can see you say yeah from the past about five years in a decade long lessons learned um and what type of investment still needed you know and how do we organize the the benefits community community together to address the opportunity of ev the challenges of ev as well as greece gear and many others any thought to share with the audience i'm sure there's many industry folks right here and including the perspective how do we engage industry and there could be government officials right here listening to this talk line now anything you want to say to to to really share your thought about this well this one matching has to go first thank you thank you shirley thank you so if you look at the german situation i have to say that in batteries in germany there's a push pull let's say motivation industry is pulling us to find the super battery because present lithium-ion is let's say not enough especially when it comes to fast charging and driving range at the same time i'm not sure whether lithium metal and solid electrolyte especially illicit metal in foil form will help us with fast charging by the way [Music] the academic part in germany is i'd say we have a strong materials part we also have a lot of activity on non-lithium chemistries we also have and i think this is maybe a little bit different to the situation in other continents in other countries we have a very strong engineering in germany we have big production research departments so if you consider that for example munster is a big research group with about 220 230 people this is nothing compared to the engineering departments in aachen where you have 600 700 people working on various let's say propulsion systems including fuel cell and batteries and at the moment it's very difficult to not only to bring these people together i think it's not so difficult because there's so much big money and we should work together that is one of the preconditions of the ministry so of course we cooperate when uh the money is um uh waving us at us but do we speak the same language do we do the engineers expect something from us which we are able to deliver honestly in the 2008 2009 year a lot of the automotive engineers especially the electrochemical part the surface chemistry they are not aware of and um then there is the other thing if i can expand on this that chemists except for the physical cameras usually we like to work in a qualitative let's say uh i did like to work in a qualitative manner so we are saying something is better than the reference for example but engineers want to have absolute numbers from us and um this is something which we have to learn so if you say what is the challenge the challenge is that the interface between material science and all the engineering when you go to production research and also to the applications that this interface is not a sharp interface a smooth interface but it's an integrated interface where the people are working closely to each other we need the people on the engineering side who have interest in understanding in material science and the other way around so i will mention about uh the uh actually what the question is really nice thank you um you know the there's really four points i want to say the first thing is for all the scientists around the world i really think that international cooperation and collaboration are so important so i hope that uh you know despite the corvette 19 the borders uh are closed but our you know like the fact that you're doing this platform really encourage us to exchange ideas and you know our thoughts uh so i want to emphasize on this thing about the data reporting among the scientists uh yeah i think there will there are calls among many consultants that well we need to be transparent and be doing the best practice when we are reporting the data so nothing confidential is just you know the fact that we need to disclose the information about the data i i hope more and more scientists will join these efforts in terms of what's the best way of reporting data like one thing for sure please report the amount of electrolytes [Laughter] yeah the second point i want to point out for our industry colleague is that for me i think martin brought up such a good point uh actually our product my product are my students they are the people who are going to go to industry to make a difference so uh the fact you know engineers and material scientists i think it's because many companies don't have material scientists or electrochemists as part of the team members and i i hope in coming years we're going to see the huge changes because uh for academic institutions yes i p and the publications and things are important but for me the human capital is the best asset we are going to uh provide it for the industry and uh as the martin probably know in germany i don't know but in us so many engineering schools stopped teaching uh electrochemistry there's no dedicated course right so i think hopefully many uh academic institutions with the support from government and industry we will be able to do more of that i mean think about the micro electronics industry you know how many people they've educated to actually being able to do those large scale fab and we will have to equip the other gigawatt factories with our top scientists material scientists and electrochemists and engineers i think the third point is really towards the fundamental signs i know stan is listening uh professor stan whittingham was one of the pioneers in the battery research field and he always always emphasized how important it is to invest in fundamental science i mean interfacial science martin i mean the elect the interface picture we showed i mean the work were done 40 50 years ago and they are truth they are valuable so valuable but they when these people did those interfacial science they didn't know today there will be this mega dollar industry right so i think that uh basic research is extremely important and there will be more um investment made in terms of fundamental science fundamental electrochemistry last but not least i think investment will talk about the big dollars actually in my opinion uh with the scale of the climate change problems our investment is way under way way under i mean con consider the cancer problems and the health problems the uh you know people are facing and then you think about the skill of the climate change i mean i have seen the values of investment coming from private sectors particularly in the philanthropy and uh you know individual uh donors the the the contributions for us to do stem field you know solutions to provide for climate change uh climate crisis is actually very very little so i think all of us have to do better in terms of i mean stanford is our leading examples but in many other places uh i think we need to do more so thank you so much shirley this is very well said i highly appreciate both of you i can see the time is up i can see three of us and with more people we can go into even more an exciting discussion we will find a time when we meet in person by having a drink maybe we can organize a zoom during some time so so we start i think today's a session is a well concluded thank you to both of you for the fantastic talk so at the end justin can you bring up the holding slide we will continue this exciting series of symposium next week we will have professor matthew ram from ut austin as well as our own professor william chair from stanford university so to speak i look forward to seeing you next week at the same time thank you so much bye now thank you well done thank you	Stanford ENERGY	UCl61FygpQRrpphc_GKSWLJw	2020-12-03	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	8,543	47,697

XLWOdKlCADM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLWOdKlCADM	2017 Ohio State Football Preview	[Music] I'm a trifle death in this year speak a little louder next time yes been about a year about one year ago mid September in Norman Oklahoma half time Ohio State was painting Oklahoma 35:17 and that thought kept echoing in my head my Sooners were hitting their asses with by a bucket gosh dang Buckeyes in Ohio State they won at forty five twenty four in all honesty not fourth-quarter Ohio State probably took it easy on the crimson and cream the Buckeyes of course would go on to an 11 and 1 regular season record three wins against double-digit winning teams my Sooners as well as Wisconsin to Michigan and that was more than enough to get a number of three seasons in the college football playoff despite losing at Penn State that gets the eventual Big Ten champions in the end it didn't matter that Ohio State didn't win the Big Ten because they got the big prize anyway a trip to the CFP course they lost in the semis to eventual champion Clemson entering Fisher the Urban Meyer has the opposite situation of personnel as far as players team returns most of them 15 to 22 remember last year he entered the season with only six of the 22 back many of those departures working it fell back and of course this year they had quite a few players also picked in the draft but again this Ohio State team is going to be more experienced than when they had the year before and this year they're a couple of offensive changes at least a couple in the personnel the biggest one was Kevin Wilson who is now the new offensive coordinator and people around sooner Lancer we know who he is offensive coordinator those oh you teams in the late 2000s occluding that Oh a team was Sam Bradford that Oh F team setting both yardage and scoring records and over the last few years was the head man in Indiana and Leighton Wilson's career got the Hoosiers a basketball school into bowl eligibility so it did a nice job there phenomenally with passing now their course I'm sure a lot of people have will Ohio State be throwing a lot more than running remember last year they didn't always bring it when it came to the passing attack come with it with the running attack leading the big tender Russian with 245 per game but will they throw a lot more than running don't be kidding okay be serious this is Ohio State this is Urban Meyer one is an Urban Meyer team in the Florida or Ohio State IRA's or head coach then known for monopoly throwing that's exactly right it's going to be run to rent first by the way it's got a very experienced offensive line back of everybody except for one and with three of your receivers needing replaced I can't see Ohio State making the past the ultimate selection over there right now they'll pass a little bit more but again it's going to be run and run first and why not again that's where house.they strength lies but I do think Kevin Wilson seeing how good of a assistant coach he's been and how well has worked with offensive ones in the past I think he'll specialize in that and you do bring a cornerback coach in as well in Ryan Day with NFL QB cooking experience I think that will really help JT berry who last season QB rating for the first 10 games was off the charts 150 but the last three games Michigan State as well as Michigan and clips in the playoff game barracks QB rating was nearly cut in half to only 80 as far as running the ball he's a threat he ran for almost 750 yards a year ago and 11 running touchdowns and then G look his passing attack about 2600 yards a strong arm but not always consistent but he did throw for only seven interceptions and threw for 24 touchdowns and yes he is an early season husband Trophy candidate but the completion percentage will have to get better and that's where a guy like Ryan de could really help out in that capacity the running game if healthy is once again going to be effective that's a big question for sophomore Mike Weber who last year as a freshman he shines with over a thousand yards on the ground and nine touchdowns but he sent a problem with the hamstring so far in August of fact it has pretty much put him in park in terms of full contact and scrimmages and you know you hope was a Buckeye fan he's ready to go for the season opener what happens to be against the Hoosiers which happens to be the Big Ten opener as well the backup JK Dobbins could get a lot of PT he's just a freshman as far as well they lost some good ones in this regard and coin and Colonel Samuel the HVAC he was a valuable receiver but also to was known for running the ball to out of the backfield and you also lose it wide out Noah Browns dr. Wilson's gone - so the new proper receivers these guys last year only combined get this for 28 catches and they all have a receiver of charging who had more than 300 yards proceeding so this bears watching as the season progresses Parris Campbell probably the best of the bunch at 13 catches year ago junior he also returned Benjamin Victor and Terry McQuarrie the tied in well he's got playing spirits as well with the Marquez ball a guy who's been there since 2013 but has had some shoulder issues in fact that offseason shoulder surgery but 405 down linemen return profile stanswood mentioned the ground attack that was the for Tampa team with nearly 250 yards on the ground per game which was 11th in the country Billy price they're all everything guard will now move to the center spot where they have to replace the only starter they lost who was the number one center by the way 250 last year impact up line and then the tackle position on the left side to Marcus Jones second team all-big ten and at the right tackle position you've got a Isiah Prince a junior 26 times that he's seen action in the past and 13 starts from last year started all 13 games left guard Michael Jordan no kidding Michael Jordan played n 23 he worse number 73 a sophomore made the first American team a year ago and the only non full-time starter back for OSU right guard you've got Matthew Burrell oh did by the way playing all 13 games last year he just didn't start so there's a live experience on the offensive one it's one of the best in the country if not the best up there with Alabama and Oklahoma Urban Meyer definitely has a lot of different to a 20-17 including a defense who's Brooks Evan might be the best in college football we're turning fortunately everybody remember last year defensively they give up less than 300 yards per contest okay second in the big ten and six nationwide you got the entire starting four back and bricks yellow the offensive coordinator says that this D line is the most talented he's ever coached and represent oak coast for Billy while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the two defensive is for OSU back top one Lewis on one side the senior eight sacks a year ago Wow never defensive tackle well Sam Hubbard he's been known as a good player a junior who had 46 tackles and three and a half sexes and working in that rotation Nick Bosa remember his older brother Joey Bosa a two-time all-american and now doing pretty good in the NFL the defensive tackles we'll see if Tracy springle is ready to go the sprinkle only played one game last year got hurt so as a freshman last year it was the Mott generals who had to step in and started the last 12 games and did a good job and we will see about the other defensive tackle sports full-time starter Michael Hill who's a senior the Urban Meyer has suspended him for at least a couple of games who knows how long the suspension will definitely last but they'll beat us up Michael Hill senior so you could expect robert landers to play just a sophomore linebackers you got two of the three full-time starters back you do have to replace the very talented Raekwon McMillan who is a force of the middle so now the middle linebacker moving him to the inside from the outside is Chris Worley a senior who started all 13 games last year and had 70 tackles but you can't forget about Jerome Baker who had a whopping eighty three tackles a year ago and two interceptions he'll play the weak side and on the strong linebacker side is Taunton hooker a junior this is the only non full-time starter back from a year ago playing one game last year because of injury but he has seen action in 23 games overall so it's not like he's ever played on a collegiate level secondary in spirits is the biggest amount of loss pathetic into year before they were inexperienced on the defensive size forest full-time starters but because of the experience that marshal Lattimore as well as Gary and Connelly and dumped a hooker head of team before they were ready for the full time starting world last year and all three by the way picked in the first round of this past pretty NFL draft you talk about accolades so we'll see how the new corners do and Den's award who has played in 25 straight games he's a junior the other corner is Damon Arnett who last year as a freshman averaged 28 plays per game so he got a lot of experience as a freshman looking at the safeties the only full-time starter back in the secondary is Damon Webb who is a senior 57 tackles from him in 2016 and writing up the secondary for the Buckeyes you have Eric Smith a veteran who has played the total of 33 games so as far as full-time starters not much there but in terms of experience that they have that absolutely and you can see the special teams notations on the bottom of the screen notice that they will have a new punter that's because the old one in camera Johnston a great guy finalist has moved on I'm sure Kevin Wilson has to be chuckling look at the first two opponents schools that he used to coach for of course Indian as a head coach and that happens to be the Big Ten opener at Bloomington and the second game where he was an offensive coordinator and really earned a huge name as far as being a successful offensive coordinator course that's the Sooners a rematch of last year's game which Ohio State won and a lapper we'll see if my Sooners can get revenge but it won't be easy this time they got played at the Horseshoe and you see the next four games shouldn't be much of a problem the rug game against Nebraska could be a little bit tricky because it's the game before penn state nebraska game in lincoln on october 14 of course two weeks to prepare for the defending Big Ten champions Nittany Lions we know that last year's game the blocked field goal return for touchdown still stings if during the Ohio State fan but again the Buckeyes got the last left by making the playoff we'll see this time if Ohio State will neither win over the new clients to remain in the playoff chase and don't forget about the Iowa game it's the week after Penn State that could very well be a letdown game Iowa's defense won't be that bad plus the game's Iowa City and you see at the end of the season the maize and blue Michigan and remember even though Michigan on paper looks very inexperienced this would be the last game of the year so the Wolverines will have a better feeling identity for their team and Jim Harbaugh you never know what to expect from that guy Vegas win total for Ohio State is at 10 and a half very high but I hope they've got the talent in the course Urban Meyer on the sidelines to exceed that expectation I'm going to go with 11 wins or will be one slip-up along the way of course the big thing to really watch for offense is how the receivers the new crop will do and of course that hamstring that could really be an effect on Mike Weber this year secondary I don't have too much fear about them because they do have playing experience it's not starring experience and the front 7 for the Buckeyes probably the best in the land I'll look for the Buckeyes to win the East Division and the face Wisconsin in the big 10 title game I will have my college football playoff preview show coming up very late August and that's when I'll pick the four teams will go to playoff including the Big Ten championship winner that's my look at the Buckeyes we'll see you next time	SportsSavantTV	UCrSy8IvZUqUXZUiFNst5Trw	2017-08-18	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

_YfaavlL_yI	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YfaavlL_yI	Strike Syllabus Week 3: Profits, Austerity, and Worker Suppression at the Neoliberal University	hi everyone i'm eugene is he in pronouns as thomas they is he him pronouns as well and we are doing the strike syllabus we're in week 3 talking about profits austerity and workers oppression a neoliberal university and it's the last week we were trying to situate things within a sort of broader clock california context of the investing from public education and from how the synchronous matters in the way those intersect with the university education and this week we're correctional a little more specifically at the UC system and profit motive in that context amounts impacts education and workers so to start I thought it'd be interesting maybe or fun to think about how the UC system talks about itself and what the values of the system are as they're sort of publicly expressed and one way to get a glimpse into this is looking at the UC mission statement where's on their website but it's based on the nineteen seventy four hundred said 1978 University of California academic plan which says that quote the distinctive mission of the university is to serve society as a center of higher learning providing long-term societal benefits you're transmitting advanced knowledge discovering new knowledge and bunkering as an active working repository of organized knowledge that obligation or specifically includes undergraduate education graduate and professional education research and other kinds of public service which are shaped and bound by the central pervasive mission of discovering and advancing knowledge and so there's kind of a lot of words but the kind of takeaway of the terms of the mission for UC is education service and research as three of a sort of big priorities so when I move through a couple of case studies and a couple of big glimpses and workings within the UC to see how some of these ends or goals are in the undermined or limited by other interests so this is here if I first take this out it's basically just for me but it can govern how we think about the next couple of slides so if you could have thesis statements that we're gonna be working with and trying to unpack a little bit these examples and so the first is that the bodies I govern the UC and control its funding which include the UC regents you see Office of the President or you co P and lawmakers are closely intertwined but have different and often competing interests and flaws these conflicts can ultimately undermine the UCS mission as it stated in mission statement gonna start thinking about that we're gonna talk about the UC regents which is aboard I think like 26 or 28 26 people 18 of whom were appointed that govern the UC basically according to the California Constitution the Regents has full powers of organization and governance over UCS subject and into specific areas of legislative control and versatile look at a couple of ways in which some other Elliot restore some of their own actions might undermine or complicate the mission statement we started off with and so one is sort of scandal that was like uncovered a couple of years ago of the lavish dinner parties that were being held and hosted by the Regents for the region's so in 2017 the Regents held a $17,000 party the night before voting to raise tuition across the system between 14 they held a party that was worth nine thousand dollars as they considered a 20 percent tuition increase over five years they ended up improving tuition increase and the EcoP later rejected it we're just kind of shows the way these things are these institutions are related but different nevertheless between 2012 and 2017 you COP reimburse the region's over $200,000 for dinner parties some regions of skip these parties are even attendance should have to pay their way to be there and it shouldn't be something university system this isn't like the biggest scandal in the world but illustrative something interests and actions of governing boards that are not in line with the kind of mission set forth in the beginning the reasons also lack diversity which is a hindrance to the ability of the UC to achieve its goals of education and service this is a quote I cut up so there's a quote for no reason but on the region's board is made up primarily of straight white sis men on a 20-19 analysis found about 22% and you see undergraduates for white whereas about 42% of the appointed board members to the regions for white most regions don't have backgrounds in education a lot more than come from politics law or business and 18 of the 26 who are appointed get appointed to to all your terms which means that the body in charge of these Regents isn't changing and responding to the need to refer the current demographics and changes in student body composition so these are just some of the ways in which the Regents is like not super able to speak to the goals of serving and representing the needs of the community you can't represent the needs of black or Latin X or queer communities if you don't have people representing the state in those interests on the UC regents for the other part of the Board of Regents as Thomas said 18 people are appointed the ones were not appointed are people like the governor the Lieutenant Governor the ukok president so it's people that are still within the structure of California institutions that kind of make up the board de-facto and so this is a big board and they're not uniform and all their opinions but just one sort of Regents quote that was interesting about some of these tuition raiser this with Charlton courts are often controversial capron regional any Kuna locus the California lieutenant governor so not an appointed Regent one of the ex-officio regions who said that I'm concerned that spending decisions are made as if money is no object and then when the bill comes everyone shrugs and says well if the legislature doesn't fund that I guess it's just going to have to go on the backs of students which indicates both some of interest in recognition of the needs of students not always being met by the UC regents decisions but also the role of state legislators and lawmakers in shaping a lot of how the university works and is funded and does I know another kind of thing I want to look at is like a mini case study the exposes some of the tensions and you see governance it's a 2017 audit of UC o P which was a big sort of scandal when it came out the audit found that UC Oh Pete was collecting revenues from campuses that it was not spending and basically stockpiling and effectively maintaining what the auditor her car is a sort of a slush fund the auditor um said that that slush fund was worth one hundred seventy five million dollars and the UC okie did not deny that they had this fund I said it was only 38 million dollars um so there's some dispute about the numbers but not about the nature of what was happening these regions said that they might have voted against certain tuition increases if they had known about this slush fund they are often presented with the image of a UC system that sort of financially buckling and so they might not be looking to tuition increases to increase revenue had they known about this fun nevertheless to their credit the UC regents did defend UC okie after the audit was released by and large and one thing that the auditor found which shows maybe some of the ways in which legislative interests don't exactly line up with university interests was that the I should have reversed these parties points but the auditor characterized the EcoP research budget as excessive which is kind of weird if you think that one of the main goals as stated in the statement of purpose is to conduct research and a professor at UCSB in a lurcher department who I linked in the notes I forget his name at the moment but he suspects that part of the reason that research is seen as excessive is because the EcoP frames the UC miss mission specifically around education and service and specifically not around research when you're peeling to state legislators with legislators find education and service more compelling reasons to give funding and to rania and then they feel about research so this is kind of complicated but just showing the different ways the different interests shape how universities able to function which is also wild because the UC is a like our one institution and is known as like worldwide so that is what its goal is and I appreciate Thomas finding these things about the audit because I mean at the picket line for all of our coolest strikes we've talked about this audit number and what it means and so having some background on that I think is important also the kind of perceptions are that education and service can happen without research is also another sort perception that's perpetuated on this but yeah so those are some of the ways in which sort of governing bodies and people big decisions about UC funding kind of conflicting overlap and muddle the UCS main mission another point one look at now in transition a bit that the corporate structure of the UC system which is substantially oriented around profit often produces working in learning conditions that exploit laborers and ultimately undermine the quality of education received by students instead it would get that look at a couple of case studies about where we see you see interest in profit this is kind of like I feel like a sexy like whatever headline pull number thing but salaries is one way we can maybe glimpse the you sees interest in profit the for high-spade use the employees across all the you've seized or athletic Coaches which is a reflection of athletics ability to create revenue and profit for university more than it is I think a statement to their worth in the university's mission of education and service intent on the salary is five nine so nine thousand dollars a year which is so much although yeah so much and in 2017 according to that same audit 598 employees across the ten UC campuses earned at least five hundred thousand dollars in gross pay to perfect to put that into perspective a bit the audit found that the UC o P paid excessive salaries to top staff compared to other university systems including the CSU so on the LA Times I link to in the notes for the slide looked at some of the comparative positions and other university systems and how they were paid and I can CSU for instance some so you see you might have two offices handling two matters that are handled by one office in the Cal State System and the lead of that department will make a smaller salary than either of the two kind of complicated but everyone is there create a lot and the EcoP be defined of these salaries by me know the UC system is unique among American University systems which it may be but the key fact is they are not able to make a case through that with transparent budgeting this is all to say that budgets reflect a set of values and priorities and how much money we pay to individuals who are maybe not directly involved in achieving the university's mission statement is a reflective of maybe interests either comparison to make between the UC and the CSU is that last week when we talked about the California master plan for education they're all linked together and the three parts the UC the CSU in the community college system are all supposed to feed into each other and make a large education network that serves its students bests so seeing the you see as like fundamentally unique and different from that pulls us away from this educational goal of a public university system for educating our students in the best way that we can another may be more concrete indirect way we see interest in profit among the UC is international student admission for undergrads this is another kind of scintillating whatever piece of the LA Times to publish a year or so ago about international student admissions at UCSB which found the enrollment of international students has more than tripled in the last ten years and this is not a problem in and of itself but the fact of the matter is that this increase in admission of international students has not been met with a parallel increase in services or resources for international students the measures that have been suggested by administration as far as how to help international students basically involve putting extra teaching burden on instructors rather than generating new services or departments or things that nature so assertion is that professors should be having introductory classes for international students specifically and should create new curriculum for them rather than funding new services and new educational access increase their national tuition has been used to offset funding cuts following 2008 financial crash which explains why in the ten years specifically it's increased so much it's been seen away as a way to recoup revenue there's other quote on the from xorg the ranks of non California undergraduates at UC skyrocketed after the 2008 recession to help fill in for state budget cuts from about 5% of undergraduates to the current 18% of all 220 2500 undergraduates in the fall 2018 according to university statistics that ranges now for about 24% UCLA and UC Berkeley to us 1% UC Merced so it's not distributed evenly across campuses there's been a significant increase that have been a direct response to funding concerns that you see another sets one for example this other more protracted one something I didn't frankly know that much about before is doing this and I'm so Franck I'm hoping it's sort of create illustrates something has been going on which is the outsourcing of jobs to contract workers across different sectors of labor within the UC so you see up until about this year I'd spent about two five hundred twenty three million a year on outside contracts for an estimated 10,000 low to medium wage employees this includes parking attendants security guards custodians cafeteria workers grounds keepers and patient care technicians and so why contract workers what does the EC spend so much on contract workers well good question right um the UC sites temp workers as a way to cut cost and avoid raising student tuition so they kind of picked the labor sourcing against a tuition paid by undergraduate saying that's kind of a one of the other times position it quite a sec outsourcing love that and more practically contract workers are typically paid less than their full-time counterparts and often don't receive benefits oh that's been changing we'll talk about that as it goes on low-wage contracts and temporary workers or twice of likely living poverty and relate and food stamps according to the UC to be labor center so this is a cheaper source of income for the UC system and when it produces a more vulnerable and less justly compensated workforce there had been picked over the years there had been protections against outsourcing labor but they have been loose and not uniformly enforced across campuses so again I have something linked from LA Times in this slide about some of these protests and there's specific hospitals and campuses that might not observe or follow all of the contracting guidelines set forth by the UC o P and it's something that is hard to detect and suss out because our system is so complicated in some parts it can go undetected if these policies are being violated having that the outsourcing job of contract workers has resulted in conflicts between the UCS and their workers they've been protest workers have been protesting these practices across UCS for years particularly those represented by the biggest union I believe within the UC AFSCME 32 and 99 I have that whole thing the a variation spelled out in the notes but employees federal employees so one instance of this kind of conflict when workers in the ucs was in 2014 contracted janitorial workers at UC San Francisco began organizing to demand equal pay to their full-time counterparts this action was prompted in part when the school called for a severe reduction in the salaries paid his contract workers at the time many of the workers being affected by this were Chinese immigrants were just important to remember and think about the kind of social groups that are being exploited for their labor Bunnie systems and the school retaliated in 2015 by firing many of the organizing workers in 2016 the fire workers were reinstated as direct employees of UCSF after two year campaign to get them rehired but it's important to note that as this sort of dragged out was the kerbin drug go and long process to get them reinstated as that was happening the CEO of the UCSF Medical Center received a five percent pay raise which boosted his annual base salary well over 1 million dollars per year and this pay race was increased or was it M put in place before the dispute with the laborers was resolved so there's not the same kind of hesitation to give top ranking CEOs pay raises as there is with lower workers this sort of continued the conflict between this Union and the UCS in 2019 when in response in response to Union like protests the UC regents declared a contractors needed to give their workers pay and benefits equal to that and you see employees working the same jobs although the region's to me that declaration in November and a same month AFSCME 3299 held another strike action let me know the new UC policy did not go far enough to protect contract workers and as I kind of indicated earlier these declarations are not uniformly observed and so there was a sphere that this was not going to actually substantially improve every contract workers situation so in November of 2019 well there was a walkout of employees picketed at NEC campuses and five university hospitals across the state and it was a union six walkout and three years on this matter so this was again part of a prolonged conflict between the U and the you see an inventor 2020 the union and the UC agreed to new tentative contracts with stronger protections for contract service workers and patient care workers which included salary equal to full-time employees and benefits as well which is great but a tentative and just to give this a little bit of context and so to step out back from this micro example a little bit it's important thinking about these workers these struggles because grad students aren't the only UC laborers who need a Cola workers across the UC are united by the need and willingness to fight for more just working conditions more were thinking about this kind of underpaid under supported labor especially to think about right now because many laborers that were fighting through the AFSCME working in janitorial medical service and patient care jobs these are loved kinds of work that are often undervalued and are compensated even escoba 19 has demanded more work and risk for employees in these fields had it not been for the attention tip agreements reached in 2020 many of the health service workers who were working in her contract would not have been insured you know they would not have had the insurance to access the medical resources of the hospital's they weren't working had it not been for the action of the Union and they would have been uninsured or underinsured amidst this global pandemic and I think that all of this really gets us to a larger discussion about austerity and austerity measures and we're not showing in this recording but linked in the speaker notes the first slide is a spoken word call it about austerity that really gets to everything that Thomas is talking about these cuts that we're experiencing at the individual level while those in charge and me those at the highest levels of the UC are getting increases in wages and benefits as if they are doing something miraculous that the rest of us are not so these are quotes from bourbon Nicholson academic article called austerity from 2013 and I the article and country mning austerity measures and what they mean and it's a very short article I encourage everyone to read it it is linked in the in the speaker notes but austerity means cuts cut pensions cut wages cut health care cut education cut jobs cut and privatized public services cut democracy ironically austerity does not do what it claims to do what a Sara Lee achieves is unemployment and social devastation and something else it enhances the power of the powerful thus austerity is not some services severe savior it shifts income upward it is a means of displacing disciplining iein care about reading today apologies disciplining those who work for a living as opposed to those who own for a living to the one-percent solving the economic problem means enhancing their power education is justified strictly as a means to profits for corporations art education is devalued student debt Rises a student prospects degrade as the economic crisis of capital deepens society drifts toward a fascist type solution austerity demands Duty and self-sacrifice but as in the logic of fascism requires force in order to enforce and I mean what I mean we can see that in our current moment if you look to some democracies around the world who are suspending their legislators is giving all executive power to their like to the leaders this is really a crisis that we are going through and I think we will be facing severe austerity measures and as Thomas was talking about the 2008 recession is really kind of the testing point for austerity in the UC system we see the solution has been to increase international student admission to put a lot of the burden on those students in order to make up for these cuts that we're experiencing so at the same moment that all of these all of these services and tuitions are getting cut to students those in positions of power those in the regents though you see ope the top executives and administrators of the University California are getting raises and in their benefits and their salaries so this is this advertisement Lila thank you selection sent me this last week especially her time at the EC master plan but yeah it's an advertisement that says it's Clark curves fault and this comes up in 2008 right during the during the financial crisis saying that the UC system is too good it does too good of a job that we like don't have any money for it anymore so what we how we see austerity play out and you see is that it's shifting costs on the students while expanding pay for middle and upper level administration so in 2009 directly right after the 2008 financial crisis the UC regents were proposing a 32 percent tuition hike which resulted in protests all throughout the state in UC and CSU campuses hundreds of people were arrested students and faculty and staff members and really had widespread police fire violence and was a precursor to the Occupy movement in 2011 we're seeing cuts to the public part of Education that turns it to privatization as Thomas was suggesting and talking about all the ways that the UC system is corporatized and really looks to private outside contractors and sees profits as more important than research service or education and my question then is is this what we're going to see in this next academic year here at UCSB well actually at all UC systems we've got an email from the all of the chancellors saying that everyone has their jobs and staff until the end of the fiscal year so July 1st we'll see if there are cuts to those jobs where the pressure will be put and my guess is largely will be on um the lower salary people not no cuts to the top but definitely pressures and this is from 2009 on UCB Berkeley graduate student interrupting a forum during these strikes where he stood up in the middle forum and said I neveri fee increase is a line of riot cops the privatization of the UC system and the impoverishment of student life UC administration's conscious choice to shift its burden of debt onto the backs of its students these can be maintained only by way of police batons tasers barricades and pepper spray these are two faces of the same thing as students and workers we are hit first by fees and layouts and then might police batons privatization closes off the supposedly public spaces of this public university erecting a wall that grows higher and higher with each passing year privatization is the mental barrier the metal barricades that the riot police set up around wheeler call privatization and the police are the twin forces of exclusion and I think for all of us who have been seeing the cola movement unfold that that image of like riot police with is with us when Santa Cruz went on strike at first and so I feel like highlighting these instances of police violence really just highlights what the UC system does and has been doing for years this is a great graph that is nice to end on that kind of shows both the twinned forces of state funding decreasing to the UC and rising tuition to help offset these these cuts so we can see really at the the 2008 crisis the state funding decreases hugely and tuition rises to the point that like the amount of student the amount of money owed by each student is is huge huge and a case could be made by that the UC system still is a hispanic-serving institution still serves a huge amount of first-generation students and does develop a lot of Pell grants to its and that beast that being said as Thomas was correctly pointing out we have higher rates of admissions without the same amount of services to these students I mean just at UCSB we have access to these services as hampered and huge waiting lines and not enough to go around in for mental and physical health for people which isn't seen as a huge as a problem for some reason so I think that talking about austerity really means seeing where where cuts are happening and where benefits are provided and it's not the larger student body it is not the amount of workers on the ground so yeah hopefully outlining some of the ways in which profit austerity we're gonna suppression have been enacted throughout the UC system different ways next week we're looking again at a sort of more broader we're zooming out from the kind of ultra local took a broader hone on that I'm obsessed with Andy Jean doesn't stop talking about disaster capitalism Ennio liberalism which were very much in a moment of right now and Naomi Klein pointer of so we're gonna talk about that next week a disaster as a moment in which big changes are possible both kind of progressive neoliberal privatization jiz but also possibility for progressive positive change opens up so we're gonna talk about that next week and hopefully use as a way to transition for the rest of the quarter to look at examples of protests and resistance and people's movements that we can look to as like models yeah and I think for this week we highlighted a few kind of micro pieces and touched upon some some bigger issues that if you were using this in your classroom you could really specialize in really look at some of these particulars and kind of zoom in or even zoom out to take a longer look we're really kind of beating this since the in like the last ten twelve years but this is definitely not unique but it is kind of an outgrowth of crisis so yeah appreciate you Thomas and this wonderful presentation that was so long sorry my thoughts is my sex oh yeah thank you was so fun scene yeah	Strike University	UCZ94IKUrnZ9wATn1sScFsww	2020-04-27	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	4,863	27,408

I also lived with just 44 possessions, which fit into a day pack. And I've biked across the United States three times with all of my gear on my bicycle. Right now, I actually own about 600 possessions, and about half of those are jars because I do a lot of foraging and growing food, and I store that food. I've been simplifying and downsizing my life for over a decade, and today I want to share with you what I would own if everything fit into just a backpack and into my bicycle and the bags on that bicycle. What I'm going to show you is how to live simply, how to live freely, and at the same time, how to live sustainably and deeply connected to the Earth and to our communities. So, I'm going to go ahead a and show you my clothing, which is one of the most important categories of items that I own. Generally, I own about five t-shirts. They are all green. I own a wool sweater, typically about two pairs of shorts, one pair of lighter pants, and then generally a more heavy-duty pair of pants and a hat that has a large brim to keep the sun especially off the nose. At this exact moment, I just owned 12 items of clothing, and it's summertime. Normally, I would own more  items of clothing than this, and there are more items  that I'm going to be getting. Some of the really key ones are a pair of long underwear  (wool is ideal for that), another hat (a winter hat, which also for me wool is ideal for that), a jacket, a couple of pairs of socks (wool are ideal for that as well), and also a really helpful item that I do not currently have is a rain jacket or even potentially a rain suit. And then of course, shoes. You might want to own one pair of closed-toed shoes and one pair of lightweight barefoot shoes. Generally, I do have just one pair of shoes, but right now, no shoes at the exact moment. And then I fit it all (or not fit at all), but most of the stuff generally I put it into small stuff sacks, which helps to keep it compressed and helps to keep it clean. And I go for natural fiber clothing, so for me, my key fibers/fabrics are wool, linen, and cotton. A lot of people use synthetic fabrics, and especially if you're doing  cycling or heavy athletics, a lot of people would lean  towards those synthetic fabrics. But I do just fine with 100% natural fibers so that all of them can return to the Earth, and if I lose them, they will simply return to the  Earth rather than being litter. The next category that I want to share with you is food, cooking, and then also, some of these are elements of zero waste living. Cooking and food is incredibly important. I mean, it's the source of life, it's nutrient, it's also a lot of the joy  and the connection to Earth. So, my probably most prized possession or one of my most used possessions is my pot. And I love this pot because one, it does serve as a bowl, it serves as a to-go container, so it serves us a lot. And then, I can use this for  cooking while I'm camping, and I can also use it for cooking while I'm at a friend's house or staying at someone's house. This goes into a bag which helps to keep this, you know, the ashes from getting everything else all blackened up. And it might not look like it now, but with this steel wool, I can get this whole thing back to shiny as well. So, if I'm in the city for a while and I know I'm not going  to be cooking over a fire, I'll shine this up and it's gonna look just as  good as these plates and bowls. So, steel wool is one of  the most key items for me. Then, I have a stainless steel bowl, plate, and fork and spoon. Just keep in mind that you  don't need anything special. In the past, I had bamboo, you know, spoons and forks, and I lost them. And then I realized, you know, just use ones that cost a  quarter at the thrift store. So, you can always replace them. So, nothing special is needed. One of my, again, most important items if I only have somewhere in the  44 item range is a multi-tool. And I've been using this same multi-tool, well, I've lost it a few times, but this same model for over 20 years now. It's a Leatherman super tool. And so, this has numerous things on it, including your, you know, your pliers, but your knife, your file, your screwdriver, a saw, and a can opener. So, I use this a lot. It's one of my most useful possessions. Then I have a lighter, and this is key for starting fires, especially when camping. I also have a flint and steel, which is a great backup. I do tend to generally use the lighter, but I really like to have this. Now, speaking of cooking, I have a simple rocket stove here, and this thing is excellent whether I'm biking, backpacking, or camping in someone's backyard. Or just needing to make a meal in a city park. I just need to pick up some small twigs and branches and scraps of wood, and I can easily cook my meals, my tea, etc. with this little stove that folds right up and goes into my either bike panniers, my bike bags, or my gear, my backpack, and I put that inside of a bag as well. I like to carry a hand towel and then a rag. These are cotton, so once  they have worn out fully, they can just be composted  and returned to the Earth. I have a nut milk bag or a strainer, so if I'm making juices or nut milk, I can pour those through  here, and this thing dries and is easy to carry with me. I have a generally, I'm looking at probably carrying  about 10 or more reusable bags. So these allow me to go to the grocery store and fill up in the bulk section  without creating any waste. And more so these days, though, I'm using them for foraging. So if I'm gathering herbs, different spices, nuts and seeds, greens, berries. That's what I use these reusable bags for. They're all made of cotton. and these come in handy for a lot of things, not just that, but organizing my gear. You'll see throughout everything  that I show you today, there's going to be some of these bags around. I carry a couple of basic  cloth grocery-sized bags, and these come in handy as day bags if I'm just going out for a little while or for grocery shopping. This is a really key thing. I mentioned making tea. I love to have a strainer that can just sit on right on top of my mason jars and then pour the tea or other  things right through there. Of course, jars. The challenge of biking and, you know, long distances and also backpacking is jars are heavy. This jar right here is about a pound in itself. I tend to travel on the heavier side and don't mind that because I try to minimize  plastics as much as I can. You'll see right here there's  basically nothing plastic at all here. I guess there's some plastic on these lids, and my stuff is heavier because of that. So a lot of travelers who, you might choose to use plastic for reducing that weight, and certainly at times I do. This is my drinking bottle. It's also can be used for storage. It's great for to-go soup. On my jars, I like to have mason jars that actually have measuring units on the side because that way, without  adding in another possession, I also have a measuring cup. So my big challenge is that since my earlier videos of owning  just 44 and 111 possessions, I have very much immersed in foraging, which means I'm harvesting food and medicine everywhere I go, which means I have to store that. And so that's where I've, I'm not living with just 44  or 111 possessions anymore because I tend to be harvesting  and storing a lot of food versus going to the grocery store. But a couple things that I  always like to be carrying, that would be an herbal tea, one or two different herbal teas, and a spice mix. And this can be a blend of a whole bunch of different herbs and spices, and that way I don't need to  have many different mixes, and it's really easy for cooking. And then I generally am always  carrying apple cider vinegar. If you want to drastically reduce  the size of your gear and the weight, then just carry these in little bags. That could be paper bags or  it could be plastic bags. So yeah, this is the area of cooking and food, and also elements of zero waste here that help me to live independently, to live connected to the Earth, and to have my basic needs met in a sustainable and simple way. The next category is water. Water is life. We all need to drink water every single day, and what I like to have with me is a basic water filter that allows me to be able to drink water from lakes, rivers, streams,  as well as from the city. So, this is my simple water filter, and you can hook up a plastic water bottle to it with the right size lid. It'll screw right on there, and you can squeeze that and have pure water straight out of the lakes, rivers, ponds. I have drinken out of some sources that you would be pretty surprised that you can drink out of. There are different water filters out there, and I've owned a lot of different ones, but this is the one that I have right now. Again, for me, this is my water bottle of choice. I really like to be drinking out of glass, and I do not like to touch plastic to my lips. Metal is another option as well. Metal can be lighter. Now, if I am... There are scenarios where I don't need to be carrying much water with me. You know, if I'm living in a city at the time or I'm traveling through the city. But some of my more immersive adventures, in, you know, away from society, require me to carry larger volumes of water. So, for example, as I'm biking  across the United States, I usually carry a one-gallon  swim, one-gallon bladder. That way, when it's not filled, it's small, but when it's filled, you know, then you have the water that you need. So, if I'm not doing that, then I carry a one-gallon jug, a one-gallon glass jug, especially like if I'm doing canoe trips or things like that where, you know, size and weight don't matter. Personal hygiene is incredibly important to me. For some people, it's challenging to have the same hygiene they do while they're backpacking or cycling as when they're living at home. But for me, it's one in the same. My natural hygiene is the same whether I'm living in a tiny house, living in a house, or backpacking or cycling across the country. These are my basic possessions for a very simple and natural personal hygiene. First of all, I have my toothbrush  and my toothpaste - pretty simple. Along with that, I have my floss, and this is a biodegradable floss made of silk, so it can return right to the Earth. Just like the toothpaste, it's all-natural items that I can spit right out onto the soil for it to biodegrade and return to the Earth. I have a natural sunscreen, which is really key, especially for my nose. A body oil - coconut oil is kind of my go-to, but sometimes I have other  moisturizers or body oils. I carry some biodegradable soap, especially used as my hand soap, and again, this can return to the Earth. Then I have my Essential Oils. Right here is lavender and peppermint, and I will often be carrying tea tree oil as well. These help me with relaxation, reducing stress. They can also serve as a great antimicrobial, especially the tea tree oil, and they just boost my spirits in general. I have earplugs. These are great because I'm often sleeping in places that are kind of on the noisier side, so these have really helped me get a lot of really good night's sleep and a good night to rest. A couple of tools that I have  here are a pair of scissors. These are key for, these come in handy just a lot besides natural personal hygiene, but I use these for trimming my hair and beard. I have a fingernail clipper, and then this is actually a nut pick for like walnuts and Hickory nuts and such, but I use this for a light scraping of the teeth. And one of the keys to possessions is having them be multi-purposed, and this little nut pick  comes in handy quite often. Here I have my electric razor, one of my few electric technology items. I had a manual hand-powered one for five years, but I went a little soft and have been using this electric  one for about two years now. And then that same towel, this comes in great for personal hygiene as well. And as far as a towel goes, I don't carry a big bath towel that can take up a huge amount of space. Instead, what is also one of my items of clothing, I can use as my towel. So this also, not being really thick, it dries faster. And that's one of the keys,  having things that dry quicker. This also serves as a picnic blanket or laying out, you know, in the sun. This is an item that really comes in handy. It's come in handy in many other ways than that, also as a sleeping sheet  blanket on the warmer nights. And so this, which was just a tablecloth, has been a really key important possession for me. There's also laundry detergent, and I use a biodegradable, not laundry detergent. In the past, I've often had soap nuts, which you can actually harvest  from trees in different regions. I've harvested them in the Everglades of Florida, but you can also purchase them. And that's a, you know, totally natural soap. Sleeping is absolutely key. Without quality sleep, life just is not the same. With this basic gear, I'm  able to create a little home wherever I need to go, and I have the shelter that I need wherever I am, whether that's deep in the remote wilderness or, you know, often sometimes  just right in a city park. So, I have my tent. I like to carry a two-person tent. It makes it a little more spacious  versus a small one-person. I have a sleeping bag, and you can get stuff that's  a lot smaller than this. This is kind of like more of the mid-size. It's relatively small, fits into my backpack, and then I have a sleeping mat. And for the last 10 years, I've had a mat that's half this size, but I haven't been getting  as good of sleep as I wanted, so I have a larger pad. And this is the largest one that I've ever had, and I just switched that out  a couple weeks ago, actually. Then I have a sleeping bag liner, which helps adds about five to  ten degrees of warmth to this, and then also because this is synthetic, then I'm sleeping with cotton directly on my body, natural fiber rather than the synthetics. A small pillow, and then of course, this comes in handy again as a sheet or for laying down underneath my sleeping gear. Technology is one of my most difficult balances. I would love to just own no technology, but for now, I use technology that really helps to add value to my life and helps me to be of service. My computer is my number one, and I actually got rid of my  computer at the age of 30. That was one of my goals, and after three months, I realized I just wasn't effective at spreading messages without the computer. So, I use this, it's about a 10-year-old computer, it's a 2013, nothing special. I bought this used for a hundred dollars after the one I last had broke after seven years. With the computer, I carry a charger. The other item that I have  right now is an iPod touch, and this is a very simple device. I do not own a cell phone, which is key for living in a more  mindful and present state for me. I use this primarily for taking photos, and I also use it for social media, although most of that's done on here. This isn't an item that I absolutely need, but I found that it's been pretty useful at times. And I have, at times when  I didn't have a computer, lived with just this. This is like a 2016-ish, so about a seven-year-old iPod Touch. They don't even make them anymore. So, video, photo, and some social media is what  I generally use this for. I have headphones, these are pretty key, especially when I'm traveling or working at cafes. I do a lot of my work at  public libraries or cafes, so those are very key for that. A wall charger, USB charger. I tend to have a little tripod. Often, I'm traveling alone, so this helps me to be able to make some simple videos or take some photos, although, to be honest, I  almost never actually use this. And then I carry a watch, which is a new development for me. The watch has been a helpful little tool for me, and then I also don't need to  look at my computer as much. My goal is to be off this for substantial periods of every single day. I also have a headlamp, which is something that I use a lot, whether especially for reading at night or, you know, being able to maneuver myself very quietly and simply at night. Rather than having to use overhead lights, and then two things that I don't have here are a solar panel. I've often had a solar panel. There are solar panels that  fit into my backpack or bike that are enough to charge this. And then also, a battery is something that can come in pretty handy if I'm, you know, trying to be off the grid but still be working, still being of service. Then a battery is something  that comes in pretty handy. Generally, I like for all of this stuff to each day, all of this stuff goes away at the end of the day. Each of these things has their own little pouch, so that when I'm not using them, one, they're protected, but just as importantly, they are out of sight, out of mind. I really like to have a balance of technology and to create a clear separation, and these little pouches help me to stick this technology away at the end of the day and have a nice separation from it, of living more mindfully and presently. I have a handful of things here in front of me that fit into numerous different categories, so I've just brought them all together. First, I generally I'm always carrying one book, maybe a couple of books. A foraging book is often a  book that I'm holding on to, and then a book on mindfulness and presence, how to stay balanced at life in the busyness and the rat race of life. As a forager, a pair of hand pruners is an incredibly helpful tool. I'm finding food and medicine growing all around me all the time, and this is a tool that helps me to harvest that abundance a lot. This is paracord, but any  rope will do, such as twine. For a lot of what I do, this comes in handy in so many scenarios, but my number one is this: my clothesline  for hanging out my clothes. Keeping things dry is very important after doing my laundry by hand, drying them. But just anytime things are getting wet, I always want to keep these dry. So wherever I am, I have my clothesline set up. But this is also great for tying  things down to the bike rack. This is also great for tying  things onto the backpack. So plenty of rope is a key thing. As far as the clothesline goes, carrying some clothespins is kind of a luxury, and these things can come in handy. Most of the time, I haven't owned these, but right now, these are really  something that comes in handy. A patch kit is key for my  sleeping mat and my tent. I like to have a patch kit with me. Goggles are something great for swimming in clear bodies of water or any body of water. As far as exercise goes and connection to Earth, it's something that really just, yeah, I love it. And then a notebook. A notebook is key, and I actually just finished  the last pages in my notebook and ripped out the pages that I had left that I hadn't transferred into my computer. So a notebook is key, and a pen or pencil usually. I also have my goals sheet  with me, my daily goals. This is the thing that  helps me to look at each day to remind me of how I want to be living and the things that I want to be doing each day or each week. And then I practice compassionate communication. I do have a big non-violent communication binder, but if I'm traveling with just my possessions, then this little non-violent communication or compassionate communication card or mini guide comes in a lot of handy, both as a reminder and as a tool to remember when I'm not in my NVC consciousness. Here, I also have a little sewing kit, so some needles, some thread, and some safety pins, and some little pieces of  fabric for patching things. A little sewing kit is something  that really comes in handy. Something that I don't have here with me is a first aid kit. I generally carry, well, often if I do cut myself really deep, there's been numerous times where I've stitched myself up with just dental floss or fishing  line and a needle from here. So this does serve as part of my first aid kit. The tea tree oil and the soap  are a part of my first aid kit, so I do have some of those things. But a little bit more of a  substantial first aid kit is something that you might find really useful. And then of course, I've already mentioned this, but my multi-tool. This comes in handy both in my first aid kit and just in all realms of my life. Now, I travel with just cash. I have no ID, and I have no credit card or bank account. I got rid of those - well, my last ID I got rid of a year ago, but my bank account and my credit card about seven years ago. So, those are things that, you know, there's a good chance those are  things that you'll want to have identification and maybe, access to a bank account or credit card. But for me, it's just cash, and my cash goes into a  little pouch that I created. And actually, you'll notice  all these pouches are the same. That's because this was an old sheet, and I turned it into a lot  of the pouches that I use, as well as rags. So, that's some of the, different miscellaneous items that I've consistently found to be useful over the last decade of being on the road, whether cycling or backpacking or just at home at life as well. When it comes to the items  that I own for the bicycle, it's a little hard to have an exact number of possessions to go with this, and the exact number isn't  what's really important. I like to have it because one, it serves as a goal of downsizing and simplifying too, and it helps me to share, you know, it helps me to share clearly that so that you get an idea of how many items or possessions are needed to live like at  the most simple and basic. But for example, when it comes to the bicycle, what counts as an item? inside of my bicycle tires, there's what's called Rim tape, and once you put the rim tape in there, it's basically a part of the bicycle, but you could very easily  count it as another possession or the rearview mirror. But here, I have about 20 items that are my key items for touring across the country, for getting around town, for meeting all of my basic needs while traveling lightly. So I'll go through them first. This is the multi-tool, and this is absolutely key for doing some minor repairs and adjustments of the bicycle. Other things, a patch kit. I always carry two new inner tubes or two inner tubes that have already been patched, but I like to always carry a patch kit as well, and that helps that helps to reduce the number  of new tubes that you need to buy. Tire levers for changing the  bike tire when you get a flat. This is a basic tool that helps with taking off the pedals if I need to do that. For example, if I'm getting onto a train, some trains require you to  actually remove the pedals or helps with putting it into a box if you're getting onto public a  flight or public transportation. A bike lock, as much as I would love to not own a bike lock, I've had numerous bikes stolen, and a solid bike lock is key. But number one is just not letting the bike really out of sight unless it's in a house, in an apartment, in a place where it's really safe. So I try to lock my bike as little as possible and instead have it in a place where it just doesn't even need to be locked. Bike lights are key, especially with being more self-sufficient. I ride my bike a lot, whether it's long distances or local, and so a front light and a  rear light are absolutely key. This is the charger I like to have - USB-powered ones, not battery-powered ones because that's creating trash. So, USB-powered ones. This tape has come in handy a lot - electrical tape. Numerous ways in which this has come in handy. I like to keep my bike really well-tuned and in top shape, and one way I do that is by consistently cleaning the chain. And it does get away from me, but I like to have some scrap pieces of cloth for cleaning the chain. And what I generally do is I find rags on the side of the road that have fallen out of people's cars, so that way I can use those. I pick up litter and then clean my chain, and I can throw those right into the garbage without making garbage because they were already litter. And I like to have an old toothbrush because I find that this is really  helpful with cleaning as well. So once I've already used up a toothbrush, get some more use out of it  as a tool for my bicycle. There is my lube, and I'm actually just using  vegetable oil as my chain lube. And then this is a bike pump, and I do, when I'm living long-term in a place, have a floor pump. But I can meet all of my needs with this basic, basic hand pump that fits into my bike bags. And then I already showed you this, but the Paracord, the rope, is really helpful with the bike. All of this stuff fits into  a pouch within my bike bags. These are called panniers, it's a French word, and these hook right onto the bicycle. And I'm excited to show you the bike that I'm currently riding. So these bags are designed to  connect right to the bike rack, and these are so key for  breaking free from driving. These allow me to bike literally  all the way across the country or just to do what I need to do, whether it's grocery shopping or running errands. I like to have a bike rack that's  a little on the heavier-duty side, that way I can carry quite a bit of gear, whether it's groceries, grocery stores. I used to do a lot of dumpster diving and I would just fill this with that, and then you can also put gear  on top of this rack as well, so your tent, sleeping bag, things like that. couple of other key features of the bicycle is a rearview mirror, this really helps so you  don't have to be looking back, and I like to have flat pedals, these allow me to ride barefoot on the bicycle. So the flat pedals are really key for me. I like to have tires that are on the wider side rather than the really narrow road tires. These are generally around the 700 by 40, rather than like some of the  smaller ones which are 700 by 28. I like to have leather handlebar tape so I'm not having my hands on plastic all day. And then, for me, this bike, the ideal bike, is a touring bicycle. A touring bicycle is one that's designed to be able to carry a lot of gear and also to be able to travel really long distances at the same time. these wider tires allow me to go off-road and still be efficient on-road. In the past, you've probably seen me riding the bamboo bicycles. I've been going with a steel frame for the last three or four years now, and the reason why is they can really get the job done. This bike could be a bike that I have for the next 40 years. It's already 40 years old. This is a 1982 Touring bike, and it's relatively lightweight. It's not super lightweight, so this is my ideal setup: a simple steel frame bike that has a simple design so that I can easily work on it, so that I can do the basics and not need a bike shop, especially if I break down. The backpack is one of the absolute key possessions, and I like to have a backpacking backpack so that I can do long trips. For example, I did 108 miles packing through Shenandoah National Park, and this is the perfect pack for that. It's also great just for going from city to city as well. Most everything that I buy is second hand, including this pack, and this is a mid-size pack somewhere around the 60 liters range. If I have the amount of possessions that you're seeing today, that mid-size pack is key. I've had smaller ones, which worked, and I've had bigger ones, which were just way over the top. So, that 50-60 liter area is what definitely works for me. And I also like to have a day pack, which I don't have right now, so that I can leave this where I am and have just a smaller pack to go out for the day. So there you have it, those are the possessions that I would own if I was living just out of my backpack and my bicycle. And as I've shared, I did live with just 111 possessions and 44 possessions, so I have a lot of experience with this. This is based on 10 years of simplifying and downsizing and minimalism, and so I'm really excited to be able to share this with you because I think this could be really, really helpful for those of you who are trying to break free from stuff, to live a more simple life, and to live freely, be who you really want to be, rather than being stuck in your stuff. On that note, I want to share about 10 key tips that I have that are more of the philosophical side to do this. I choose to own the items that add meaning and value to my life, rather than items that take away value, that reduce my time, and that keep me stuck in the rat race. A big thing is owning items that can be used in multiple different ways - multi-use items. I showed you my pot and I showed you my multi-tool. Items like this allow you to have a lot more while still having less. The goal is to be able to purchase these things or accumulate these things and not have to do it over and over. So, getting items that might cost more up front, but that are going to last - high-quality items that last. And at the same time, items that can be fixed, rather than things that, once they break, you have to throw them away. Items that are designed to be repairable, ideally there are things that are designed to even be repairable by you, saving you a lot of money and having to find someone to fix them for you. So, I like to focus on low-tech items. Definitely, a lot of the things that I have are things of the 21st century, there's still quite a bit of plastic in these items, and I try to minimize my plastic. But the key is, at the very least, keeping my items low-tech. As much as possible, I try to keep items that are natural, so they're made of natural items straight from the earth, that are biodegradable. So, when they break, if they're no longer usable, they can be returned to the Earth rather than sent to the dump. As much as possible, I buy second-hand items rather than purchasing new items. There are shops that actually focus on second-hand gear, thrift stores of course, and then Craigslist and eBay are websites that can be really helpful with that. If I do decide to buy something new, then I really focus on sourcing it from companies that have a level of ethics and that practice sustainability and care about the way that they are impacting the Earth, our plant and animal relatives, and our fellow humanity. And then, of course, one of the keys to owning less is simply sharing. There are so many things that we use that we don't all need to own one of. There are so many things that we have that we only use every once in a while. And so, the key is sharing things, and that comes to a mindset - getting rid of the individualist mindset that we need to own everything and we need to earn everything on our own, and connecting with community. That is the key for me, it's one of the greatest solutions to all of our problems - community, as well as biodiversity and diversity, focusing on these in all of the ways that we look at our stuff is absolutely key. So, if you got a lot out of this video, I definitely recommend checking out some of my other videos. I dive into more depth of how you can live more simply and sustainably and more connected to the Earth. And if you would like to, and you haven't already, feel free to subscribe to this channel. There is a lot here, and there's so much more coming. I love you all very much, I'm so happy to be able to share this with you, and I'm happy for the changes that you'll be making in your life to live more simply and sustainably.

Please Subscribe and please share as you know we've got a lot of haters up in here and this topic has been brewing for a long time a long a long long time okay this topic right here again the black Grassroots largely has avoided certain personalities within the you can say the Muslim YouTube spaces and the reason why we avoided them because they're fake they're so fake okay we know they're fake and we know that there are a whole spear is to go after these gen Zed in cells and take their money okay and they have no problems doing that and how do they do that all they do their whole business plan is going to red pill and repeating red pill talking points to Muslims and calling it Islamic that's it so like subscribe share we are coming in a hot walaikum Salaam brother be loud and let's put the brakes on these these dudes man let's put the bricks on these dudes once and for all you know what I'm saying okay let me just get the then link up because I want you all to join me on this okay let me just just get this link hold on y'all I want y'all to join me on this because this is crazy okay remember last night eat rightfully so we went and we talked about the whole you know Andrew Tate situation I've been him being arrested in Romania what not we've always we've largely we never really dealt with the brother Andrew take and the only reason why we dealt with him is because y'all couldn't stop asking about it okay that was it otherwise he in terms of the the the the Grassroots he's not really that important but we did mention that this particular brother he should not have been put in front of the Muslims because that was largely irresponsible because of his businesses you get me so now what do we have today what we have today is all your usual suspects putting out videos doing a an incredible amount of damage control they're just out there you know you know what Islam says this and Islam says that I'm like okay we didn't put him in front of the people as a matter of fact we said that this was irresponsible to do that y'all put him in front of the people he openly said what his businesses were as a matter of fact I was watching one today with uh Studio 21 studio if you guys you guys know who Studio 21 is or 21 Studios rather put in the chat if you guys know who 21 studios are okay put in the chat just yes or no if you ever heard of 21 Studios okay we've always held a position that red pill should not be put in front of The Wider Muslim Community that's that's our position we said that maybe the black community yes maybe in a black community because our cultural experience is much different from people who have generations and generations and generations of stable families however for reasons that we already know that are nefarious we know that your your to be in that Elites have been writing this red pill train all the way to the bank and exploiting it and monetizing it and taking these gen Zed boys their money so they can come up with all kind of cute one-liners to tell a woman then they pass it off as the liberal agenda they pass it off as like some nefarious liberal agenda like the Liberals and the conservatives are not two pillars of white supremacy they're somehow disjointed and not holding up an entire system making you believe that they are separate but really they're just holding up the same thing that's always been our position we've always said that both sides of this Left Right paradigm just as wicked just as evil just as covering and if you are taking one side over the other you're taking one side of kufford over a different side of cover that's it it's as simple as that so now we have a situation where all these immigrant Muslims that came in the 90s in the early 2000s or whatnot and they had their kids in those times their children are now in their 20s they went through the entire process processes of going to schools with white kids wait folks you know being subverted Within the Western school systems okay largely subverted mind you it's not that the teacher's job is not just to teach your children ABCs and one two threes in in science and and math or whatever right in the west we have things called Soft Sciences this is the brainwashing machine okay so their job is largely to put push the agendas of the Left Right paradigm so they grew up in these in this system they started listening to hip-hop music okay and you all lost their minds your minds because they wanted to act like rappers and stuff and you wanted to make sure that you avoided Black Folk this is a generation this generation I was born between the 90s and the 2000s they have never if they are born in the West in Western countries they have never ever in their entire lives heard a single that is relative or a relevant to their experience as a Muslim in the West I'll repeat that they have never in their entire lives if they're born between 90s to 2000s never not once I promise you heard that is relevant to their experiences in the West but they have heard a whole lot of massage it talk about how much money they need every single jumbo and so to massage it they become like this WOW I'll be out 100 money for some money put some anointing on his money y'all hearing me that's what they coach so once a week they go to the message they hear that stuff okay and your immense are so angry because they out here in the west with the Western experience you don't know that black people we are the we are the pretty much the leaders of everything cultural okay just put something black in front of it and it will sell culture and they get angry and they say they're not black let's stop talking like we're black so now what you have is a situation for the last maybe six years or so where Along Comes The Red Pill and here come the Muslims who are watching The Red Pill and they're like hmm I wonder if I can get paid just bringing this stuff to the Muslims and painting it Islamic and y'all eat it up if you don't believe me just go watch some of these comments on some of these videos Ali dawa and put out a small video today okay Ali dad put a small beater today and just go read some of the comments free entertains innocent blah blah blah like how do you know that stuff like how do you know if he's if he's innocent of course he should be for you right correct but the question is how do you know this generation coming up thank you this is evidence of the tarbia that they're getting and it's very evident and Serbia Islamic that they're getting is strictly off of social media influencers they have no clue they're totally clueless they don't know anything about at all they're allowable for them is liberalism versus conservatism feminism uh versus uh red pill that's what I will put off for them not Allah the prophet says and the understanding of salaf versus actual natural and stuff like that this is where we are at and ironically none so far okay not a single one so far that I have seen anyways is holding accountable your YouTube Elites for their recklessness and their irresponsibility for putting these the most despicable characters in front of the Muslims and saying listen to this and listen to that but you know who largely by and large avoided all of this and did not participate in it naturally without even having to be told you know who didn't participate in it the black Muslim Grassroots [Music] we didn't participate in it we didn't put any nefarious characters in front of you and say here follow this did we do any of that when you said it putting Jordan Peters in the front of us wait a minute something ain't right isn't that what we said then when you started putting uh whatchamacallit Andrew Tate in front of us before it became Muslim Hold Up Wait A Minute something ain't right then you wanted to put Daniel thank you could you and the AIM conference and we say is that what we said we didn't fall for the shenanigans we didn't fall for the okey-doke but you want to come over here and tell us that we should speak for you you speak for yourself you have an entire generation now of in cells who have pledged Allegiance to other in cells okay who are bringing them red pill that's your fault as the typical black convert like especially the older ones right how many times they've been asked to go save somebody else's child the black Converse got to come in and save the other somebody else child because the child is wilding out you know us when you need us foreign but when we need you well guess what it's a new year coming it's a new day coming it's a new Time Coming you you got like so many hundreds of thousands of Muslim men young Muslim men bind as garbage okay by charlatans mind you I wouldn't name names but I would but that would cause too much trouble okay it will cause way too much trouble and to be honest and to be honest it's like we got our own work to do how many of us get asked to go and say somebody else children but when we ask you for something you know everybody's be found nowhere nearly seen so now I'm just saying this is all color alive okay cutter of Allah it is a May amazing that the very same people that you avoided and you pushed under the bus your children are trying to emulate and now this very same black Scholars that you had all these epithets and all this work for it now you don't even have them anymore the black scholarship you you are like your children are now following YouTubers can you imagine look look look here black people I want I want some honest answers I hope some of y'all comment on this on this live right now because I'm gonna ask this question foreign black people which one of y'all is ready to take masculinity lessons from from Daniel hankikachu which one of y'all is ready to learn how to be a man from Daniel just put say I am or I am not in the chat please or just come on and just like help me out here help me out are you know what let's let's name some names anyway let's do it let's just do it let's just do it okay which one of your black black people black folks are ready to learn masculinity lessons from Gabriel Romani or what's the other one Maddie to Johnny y'all ready to take masculine masculine lessons from them you're ready to take masculinity from Mandy to January or Gabriel Romani come on let's talk that's what they're doing right have you ever in a life met any Negroes go on talking about you know what I think Black Folk should you know learn masculinity from Gabriel Romani or or Amanda tijani have you ever heard heard such a thing but yet these two okay have a thousands and I mean thousands of Muslims listening to them so why is it that the black grass was just by Nature avoids these characters just avoid them but you don't have to say say anything I got nothing against Gabriel Manny or or man DP Jenny but I know game when I see it that's us that is us we know a hustle when we see it we know what it looked like we recognize game when we see it it's like a litmus test of authenticity thank you Kathy put it perfectly it's the image that points are garbage it's veneer it's like we look at them we're like what are these guys saying like you know what I'm saying we're just not with black people we're not going to say it out loud because we know because once we say it out loud everybody's gonna get mad at us they're going to look at us like weed eaters like no that's not it that's not it my friend okay that's not it okay but it's a Hustle it's just a hustle that's what all it is man if y'all want to pay these dudes to teach you how to be men and be my guest but if you had basically listened to the black Grassroots when you were supposed to maybe your children that were born in the 2000s and early 2000s and late 90s they wouldn't have had these problems today now would they black folks don't have these issues do black people [Music] do black people have these issues yes or no put in the chat that's why they get mad because we know very well yeah exactly look look here better Club remember the better Club can you imagine a black dude right now today starting a better club for for for black youth what what do you think would happen and we have issues in the black community we do have issues that's for sure single motherhood you know the rainbow people we got a whole lot of crap you know hip-hop destroying the minds of our youth but the one thing that we know is that we know gaming that is the one thing that we don't exactly we are too busy fighting structural racism to worry about how how to be what we are thank you if anything foreign we know very well that the problem with the men in our community it comes as a direct result of broken homes this is something that most black people understand even if they even even if they won't admit it we understand this very very well but what you see now is the politicizing of Islam calling this political agenda Islam the conservative Muslim versus the liberal Muslim debate can you imagine the conservative we can take Knowledge from from anybody as long as he's a conservative Muslim he can't be almost a liberal Muslim we're willing to work with anybody who's a conservative Muslim even if he's a deal benevis conservative no problem if any liberal no no we can't do it this is under a kuffery system [Music] and y'all eat it up and these guys you know they have um like a template watch your YouTube you die Elites okay this is what you will see okay they will basically work together right they will build each other's platforms up they'll do quote collabs and everything like that this is how they do it okay it's all the same type of of um like business model okay they build each other platforms up they talk about trending things okay they have to do that this this is why we talked about entertainment because it's trendy okay we ain't afraid to admit it we said it from the jump that's what you're all doing okay so we're doing it too we're talking about interesting because it's trending but at least we talked we were we're the only ones that I've known so far that made it a point to point out how irresponsible it was to put him in front of the Muslims I don't know anybody else who said it just us okay then then they start their Institutes every last one of them got an Institute all of them they all have Institutes and they have no problem be called ustad can you imagine you don't believe me go Twitter go to their um channels you'll see them all foreign got a great Point here what is the mosque of Eddie from the dean show gonna be like that might be a fact this is based off the Omega Model though maybe maybe Allah I don't know I don't know but at least you could say on my grip it had scholarship when it started right that's what you can say but remember when our muggers started they didn't have no YouTube channels yep mama need job and Ali don't have one in Norway can you imagine this is what this what this is what is Islam is is going to now just random dudes building this agent for themselves you know what I'm saying like is this is the weirdest thing the weirdest thing I wouldn't be surprised didn't show God Donald Trump on the show neither would I be honest but this is this is it this is the new uh religion you get it so now because these these [ __ ] kids started to say it like that but yeah if you're watching like we say it all the time and if you if you get in your religion from YouTubers you're a dumbest your dumbest nails you're Dumber than the device that you're watching the YouTuber on okay okay that's where you're getting a religion from YouTube and you're defending your decision to get Islamic Knowledge from a YouTuber too you're defending it name of one album in the history of all of them that said yeah okay cool go get your religious Knowledge from from a YouTuber just name one a single one but you want you because you're too lazy to pick up yourself and go sit at the feet of Scholars you want to give effects for everybody yeah it's okay it's okay and when you get played you will defend your yourself being played y'all hearing me yeah I need somebody to come up on the chat and join me on this one like subscribe share hit me up hit me up on on on on uh patreon I need somebody that helped me with this man this is a massive grift and it's a grift that these people are cooperating on and no nobody's saying anything it's so weird man uh to rather be loud how are we doing good bro how you doing it's been a long time it's quite late over here I'm in the UK yeah yeah I know everyone yes it's crazy it's as if they're just basically well it's so easy because it's been done before they let you just copy the model and then dress it up islamically and then present it to a fresh audience a fresh audience that they know are generous in general and I guess are probably more gullible because we're yeah we love each other [Music] yeah and that's that's that's the thing about um social media it will always um incentivize the desires or the whims of the people and so because of that you're you're always going to get a gullible audience you know what I mean and these kids are incredibly gullible because they grew up on that so we didn't grow up on that stuff bro right on social media and stuff like that we were up like reading books and playing outside and you know I mean coming home with scrapes and bumps and these types these these kids born in the 90s or the 2000s they can go their entire life without getting a bump a broken bone a scar nothing yeah scary because they're always in front of of screens computer screens and and telephone screens and stuff and then some people even make money play video games it's crazy yeah it's insane man it's totally insane bro you know what I mean oh my God so like what do you think what do you because basically like this whole people was talking about red pill being the Genesis the Genesis Rebel you mentioned pimps right but like do you know the comedian called Patrice O'Neill yeah yeah right so a lot of people would have cited him as the The Godfather of red pill basically because a lot of what he said in his comedy is basically a talking points that they use now but it's like all of this is basically an over-correction of of feminism this is society's over correction of feminism and feminism was basically over correction of misogyny if well if you want to look at it societally and like emotionally not necessarily economically right and so how do you see this playing out well I I think there's a lot of um there's some things that Muslims are missing is that that prophecy is being fulfilled here right that's that's my personal opinion I put it out here already and we're living in a time of Prophecy and all of this is a part of it all of this is a part of it I I honestly believe that these people your social media influencers from the Muslim space these are the variables that the prophet saws was talking about that's that's what my personal I'm not I'm not forcing anybody to believe that right but my personal belief is that and that's because we've seen the scholars of the past the big big Scholars right and the brother Abdullah the the Luxy he made it he made an excellent point to me in the comments is that he said that back in the day we would scold the people for listening to small students of knowledge over the big Scholars and skills now we're scolding the people to listen to the small students knowledge over these YouTubers right nuts you know what I mean so so red pill is not like it's not like one type of thing it's a very very very vast right it's very wide you know and you know that's why I say that Repco for black people right and the black manosphere and whatnot it's fine because we have our own experience but I'm not seeing how it's relevant for Eastern Muslims who have a long history of intact families family structure and community structure you're just introducing this to these people in order to monetize your platforms that's how I'm seeing it right that's how I'm saying brother CL Edwards Ville man I screenshot of some comments from a video man I want to share some of these green these These are reactions to uh some of uh you know what happened with Tate being arrested and whatnot and um I don't know it was so many comments on uh on this video that were crazy just crazy I couldn't screenshot them all but I got some of them just just to have some evidence of just the mentality of the intensity that some people have elected like me and you were discussing over WhatsApp earlier it's it's this is nothing but gamer culture like um Do You Remember gamergate gamergate this is just the Islamic gamergate and it's just as these guys man they have no gamers I don't know I don't know game again um gamergate if you if you Google you get the whole story but in summary it was like people women girls were saying that um the online space for gaming was uh misogynistic women were um being cursed out hit on sexually explicit things were being said to them the blase plea even with um it's still going on really even with um with meta you know Google changed his name to meta and they have the meta verse now they say now with the metaverse the women can't get on the bed of they say this ain't funny because this is funny but it's funny because of how outrageous people are behavior is that when women get on the metaverse that males on the in the metaverse they start groping the women and trying to gape them you know in the metaverse so it's like this real toxic um in-sale Behavior it's uh it they they were the gaming Gamers were they were they started taking on this real uh alt-right um ideology that's where a lot of the all these and all these different um buzzwords and images like the Pepe the Frog and kick in the kick flag and all that stuff it started in 4chan and eight-chan and then the gamers picked it up then after the gamers picked it up the alt-right picked it up and started using it so that's then in summary that's gamergate all right thank you well no problem so um this is this is one comment I saw take speeches and it's full of wisdom that I could see only with people who have learned Quran and sooner for many years wow [Laughter] no it's serious common has to be a meal has to be in their 20s or or or younger probably younger oh yeah and probably never heard a full lecture and lecture in full from any scholar ever in their entire life but that's my assumption just from.com anyway I would agree I saw Tate speeches and it's full of wisdom that I could only see that I could see only with people who have learned Quran and Sunnah for many years it came to him naturally with that evidence I can say he cannot possess that knowledge inherently and do and do do and act they accuse him of [Music] this compounded exponential stupidity right I'm going to say this before you guys do right yeah go ahead watch someone call him the Mahdi oh yeah yeah I wouldn't doubt it I wouldn't doubt it I had a comment on one of my videos right the one I put out you know when people start asking me on Andrew Tate right so I just put out that video because it's on my WhatsApp I grabbed these clips of WhatsApp I put it on the video people stop asking me right one person commented Andrew Tates you know something that gangster take coming to Islam is a sign from Allah watch millions of people convert to Islam because he came to Islam bro you know what I mean stupidity is compounded you know and it's not it's nothing against Andrew Tate at all it's not his fault that people are stupid right it's not how is that his fault you know what I mean he converted to islami Allah rewarded me Allah I mean I mean but like like any idiot can go and see what he was doing for his money so when you know what he's doing for his money why would you even say something so [ __ ] like that it's it just shows that you didn't even go and bother to do any research about this person that you're saying many years studying many years of Quran and Sunnah and all you know actually he naturally it naturally came to him it actually came to him you know it just shows how [ __ ] you are because in the comment section because nobody knows who you are you know so you can be stupid right and you can do stupid things but however the environment it's cultivates stupidity the social media environment now brother check this out this is this is a comment from a sister and like all these these gamer Muslim boys started torching her attacking her this is what she says and I'm going to read a couple other responses she says I always thought there was something wrong with him in the horrible way he talked about women and his vulgar use of profanity no self-respecting new Muslim would degrade themselves to make such humiliating videos calling women bees and [ __ ] in one video he gave an example of a young woman from being put on a Plane by a rich man not because she was capable herself but because a man paid for her to travel and that therefore he argued most women cannot be self-made we're totally dependent in a man to be give them work worth okay so the first response to that is and question mark question mark you can't handle the fact that he's a Muslim um the next he already expected that he said they will try everything to silence him first he would be banned from social media and that happened then he would be accused of false charges and that happened yesterday if they failed to put him in jail then they will try to kill him and say it's an accident um the next one she's automatically a victim because she's a woman laughing out loud um the next the last one on the screenshot sister you are being emotional we need to move past this liberal feminist ideologies he's accepted Islam all this past sins are forgiven and if you see the comments most 99 of Muslim Brothers support him and I kind of blah blah blah I also seen a lot of non-muslim men agreeing with his views he's innocent until proven otherwise and he has previously been falsely accused of other stuff feminism feminism and women empowerment has completely destroyed this generation shaking my head may Allah guide us and I do and I do agree most women are not self-made say whatever you want these are the responses to the to the sister you know just giving her opinion about why she she you know she will stand off she's about to why she she wasn't feeling the guy but the responses go on and on and on and they're just basically attacking her um you can't you can't I have somebody you saw the post that I put on my Community page somebody said they were unsubscribing me okay thanks for letting me know bye Felicia but it's like it's this it's so weird and I'm telling you I used to be when I was younger I used to think about like prophecies about you know about the the jaw and all these different things and I used to wonder how could this possibly happen how would people fall for something that they've already been warned about I mean now with the internet it seems so much clearer now how something like this can happen nothing yep yep yep I mean if you can if you can follow characters like this then of course it's very easy for you to gonna be easy for you to to worship that the jaw is a God it's very simple look look look at even even the sister's response even if the assistant's response I'm not I'm not gonna say I'm in agreement to what she said right definitely you know I have some problems with with the way she responded to that that thing right because she just assumed that he's guilty but the men is even worse because they're responding to a woman like that all right and they're Assuming he's not guilty nobody knows what you're assuming nobody knows nobody knows go ahead brother you know I think it's it's a little bit more into that it's into the psych of people today and when we when we when we look at technology for example technology is advancing but uh the intellect of people are not advancing along with the technology and some say due to that dumbing down people well I think it's a bigger picture where it's you know for the Muslim on the Muslim aspect is uh the east meeting the West that's what we've seen on the internet with the Muslims right it's like the East uh hitting with the West so we're getting like uh a little bit of Islam with a little bit of cover mix in in it right and I think that a lot of the Muslims on social media that like YouTube and this and that and the algorithms and or what's popular and what gets views I you know we can see that is is what is important teaching Islam from his Essentials is not important um it's not important and for followers well you can see when you listen to people these response like the sister he was reading her response I'm like Andrew Tay this guy like you know him in your real life is this somebody's impacting your real life if somebody's paying your bills it's like do you need him or listen to him to survive in this world or even survive with your religion why your soul strung up on on a uh internet or YouTube personality influencer why are you so strung up on this but you know you know what I think the issue is because we as as Black Folk right we're not really into that stuff because you know we we don't come from that that type of background that these easterners come from right so when the Eastern Muslim man they start getting into these red pill uh you know what you would call a spaces right and they're being introduced to these reciprocal spaces a lot of people like Matthew Jenny like people like Gabriel Romani and the three Muslims podcasts and and you have now you have the heart the people who are pushing very hard like the dean show Muhammad hijab all you know you know and they're they're introducing people who have never heard this type of thing before and they start accepting this these type of talking points and start speaking to it are women like that the women now are reacting to the men you get it the women are reacting to their to their men so that sister when she said that that point of course we don't agree with that because we we're like what's she talking about you know what I mean but there's a different thing that's going on and the and it's proven by the reactions the way that the the men were speaking to her you get the way the men were speaking down to her that's what's going on in the the Eastern Muslim spaces now it starts talking down to the woman and remember if those women that are look what's happening in Afghanistan today what is going on in Afghanistan today the women in the education system [Music] you come from that background that type of background and you come to to the West you know and you start addressing the women like that in the West you know but but a lot of these Desi men's my personal uh uh uh experience with them because I live in the Muslim Community I was all Desi they Park and they punks they solve even they women see the mess off right right but within their families that's a different thing hmm they see what their families is totally different because we understand that you know the the what you call this the South Asian culture is incredibly misogynistic right these are the type of these are the people who were who are killing their their daughters you know I mean these are the same people that were killing their daughters and whatnot you know when having uh wife burnings and all this kind of stuff these are descendants of those type of people right right so one second yeah there we go yeah you know what I mean yeah but keep keep going and brother Bilal and brother see how you can jump into inshallah yeah because I I was you know I was just looking uh I'll listen to your video yesterday and and you know just some of the Muslims uh how they are you know caught up in that like they love these personalities and they've really taken it for their the medium to learn Islam and you know I'm like you know uh what these people are not really teaching Islam in the end of the day they're not they're not teaching nothing you know you know I mean you mentioned when you was into imagine and some people who had to travel to go learn Islam is the things they have to suffer yeah yeah just to get a little bit of um you know a little bit of oh two on top of that you know I lived in Egypt for a couple years you go through a lot of things I know a lot of brothers I know brothers who passed away you know me too you know me too yeah I know I know people who passed away I know people who got hurt shot stabbed and all type of stuff you know including myself man I got stories for that so you know you know Imam Shafi has his famous saying he says like uh you you drunk the you drunk the cup of ignorance your whole life and you never taste the meekness of knowledge for a hour or something like this is a statement like this from and it's and you see that today with the Muslims today especially on YouTube these guys don't spend no hours in learning their religion right and then like people like Daniel he's another one you know this guy don't have no Islamic knowledge under his belt you could tell by the way he speak and and people like oh he has more knowledge than the shield I have seen comments like this from his followers you should see the stuff they leave in my comments you know because it's so stupid they're like you know Daniel he he has more knowledge than the ulima and salty I'm like comment are you really serious I'm gonna start I'm gonna show I'm gonna show you some of them I don't even I look get them like this guys these guys are have to be complete morons I'm like Daniel has more knowledge than the shiuk in Saudi Arabia and Jesus no this guy is not they're not trolling out they they serious they're not trolling they are they're not trolling they're not trolling I can't wrap my head around people having that much goal to say something so stupid you know because Daniel Daniel's the right skin tone you know that's the truth you can write skin tone you're the right skin tone look at that look at that um Peter Griffin I sent you you know the one with the color chart oh yeah yeah yeah they be thinking these guys in the mahadee man I swear they these brothers come like damn you we got the right skin tone they're like this guy is the savior man he's like the Jesus for these peoples you know he's like the Messiah for them he's like the Messiah for them or he's like the Mahdi and I'm like yo this guy this guy is a philosopher half of the YouTubers you're following like the dean show Eddie don't got no knowledge if he just stuck with interviews wouldn't have any problem with them Eddie Eddie Eddie is what is he doing he's he's now using his large platform to make a hard right turn and call it Islamic this guy this guy what Jesse Jesse Lee doing on his show and all the all the conservative far right they interview each other on YouTube they all interview each other so that's why uh Jesse Lee's in his Circle within his Circle that's why he's interviewing yeah of course he's from all the far right on a YouTube channels they interview each other all of them interview each other so you know the dean show why are you with Jesse Lee that's that's you know that that lets you know where they're heading to and then you're going to establish Islam with these type reviews these conservative views like like I said before because even the brother B Lala you know and we see these these comments right and we're like totally like we're taken aback because the stupidity behind them is is like mind-blowing right but that's why I said we are actually living in those times that the prophesy talked about right but that that's my opinion right we're living in those times people are have avoided scholarship hmm you know what I mean and scholarship is just something that people say now there's something that people say in order to um have some sort of a legitimacy right listen to the scholars listen to the scholars listen to Scholars but they don't mean listen to Scholars they mean listen to them correct you know what I mean you know you know so now if you look at the the aim conference right that is the the biggest in my opinion um the most damaging thing that happened to uh the salafi dawa in my opinion in the last 30 years I've never seen anything like that yeah right absolutely damaging right and the Fallout from that that one thing we predicted it we predicted even before right we said this ABC's gonna happen you're going you are going to have to disassociate yourself from and when that time comes any type of thing that you had resembling Integrity is going to be completely gone and it's not going to be you guys it's not going to be the aim conference guys it's going to be the salafi dollar isn't that what happened yeah that's exactly what happened exactly right so and this is the issue because they have basically uh taking taking a stance that influence should be the new religion and influence is the religion of the the child himself you get me influences the religion of the the child himself that the job will be able to convince people that he is at a job with the most incredible lies that you will believe that it's the truth right so if you can believe the small lie very the the tiny tiny lie if you could accept the tiny lie like Daniel hikuchu who believes that Daniel and he could study with many diovanni scholars any of you believe that I even think he did he probably had one or two you see what I'm saying you see what I'm saying are you just saying this thing you know Bundys they remember they memorized the matching they memorized so I don't even really think he was even studying with the old bundies could it be memorized in books and stuff exactly exactly most of the game has got a comment on here when inviting anyone going to be beneficial to spread spreading Islam with the ultimate aim let's see let me see here let me get this let's see what inviting anyone going to be beneficial in spreading Islam is the ultimate wouldn't inviting anyone going to be beneficial if why what no no the ignorant don't have the right to speak on Islam that is that's that's sinful in Islam the ignorance you don't bring the ignorant in front of the people to educate that's the most ignorant ignoranist statement I ever heard from a Muslim and this is the problem that the Muslims don't understand the usul of the religion this is the problem we have and the Muslim the gamer we invite anybody going to benefit and spreading Islam and this is the ultimate ain't no somebody who has knowledge of the religion that's for you that's right never never moves to the gamer never never ever listen to The Gamer right when the problem of knowledge the one with knowledge is the one who uh gets priority to speak right look look look at um what should we call it the story of Musa and Kidder right Musa was asked who's the most knowledgeable person right and he said I am so Allah wanted to show him that he wasn't you know what I mean Allah wants to show him that he wasn't and he basically the whole story he he made him he introduced him to hither who had more knowledge than Musa right right because moose is surprised because he's the messenger of Allah right and of course Allah told him you were not the most knowledgeable right but this individual named Kiva is so Musa now he meets Kiza what is the job of Musa at this point the Java Musa is to what hear and obey hearing obey right you need to sit out and listen right that's the job of Musa at that point he even showed lack of knowledge finding him because the law gave him the sign and yes they lost the person he's like wait what happened like every every moment of had stories subhanallah yeah but did why would Allah put that story in the Quran and make it something that is recited all the way up until right it's something that we can benefit from you understand there's something that we can benefit from Musa Islam is anybody going to say that Musa didn't have knowledge but then no way never never but when he made his job now was to sit down and learn and what the kids are telling Musa the first thing when when Musa said I want to learn but what did Hitler tell them what did he tell him you're not going to be able to do it you're not gonna be able to do it all right you won't be patient you won't how can you be patient about something you don't know thank you basically you know I was just reading the comments I was reading the comments right now right the guy the gamer I think his name in the comment section you see he's he's given a good example what he's saying about the YouTubers yeah he doesn't know right and this is the thing about these YouTube channels they're not teaching people what is the correct way to learn the religion what is actually what is the what it means to be on the path of seeking knowledge who you learn knowledge from what type of knowledge are you actually learning see they're not learning this you could tell by his um comment in this section he likes Eddie the dean show he likes uh Andrew Tay is I was reading so all these things these personalities they're not teaching their followers about Islam see you know I I I I I spent my time in learning religion in Egypt right and in Egypt for my observation some of the popular Sheikh oshoyuk that are on TV on Egypt these the people that everybody loved these are the personalities that everybody loves in Egypt right but when you start listening to these personalities they're not teaching people the religion right they give them nice little reminders that bull still Imam while they hear them talk but when they leave the Iman goes low but you ask whether you learn didn't learn anything right these YouTubers are the same way when they follow us go to them it might boost their Iman for a second but when you sit down in action what do you actually learn from the religion they don't they can't say it they haven't learned anything they didn't learn religion they didn't learn Akita they didn't learn talking they didn't even learn Sarah they're not they don't learn Hadith they don't learn how science Hadith they don't learn the things that preserve the sharing of Allah they don't learn they don't learn them they just learn who this personality it is who that person is his story how he converts to Islam oh this is nice this guy gave a quick ball here this guy this sister she became a Muslim and that that's not going to suffice and make the Muslims survive as being a Muslim and that's not going to preserve the the Islamic law it's not going to preserve their religion so when we talk about learning the religion of Islam somebody's teaching and educating the religion it's not the dean show it's not Daniel Daniel's not preserving the religion the whole show of Daniel on AIM conference did he recite any verses in Quran when Daniel Talks on YouTube he never refers to Quran he never recite a verse in Quran I never hear him I never heard of say an Ayah once or a Hadith a full Hadith once never and as a matter of fact his response I I remember because you know like people people kind of like talk to me because they see me as neutral and fair and whatnot right and I try to be as neutral and fair as possible Right like if if you're wrong you're wrong I don't care who you are right so some some of these brothers were sending me you know what Daniel's response to the after the aim conference to sagitt and whatnot and they said it's really really good just watch it watch it really really good so you know it's more than one brother mind you right so okay I finally got around to watch I watched I watched the whole thing from beginning to end okay and a couple of things jumped out to me first of all it was garbage right it was just total nonsense right but these guys are telling me it's good right and how old do you think these people are how old do you think they are in 30s and their 20s thank you thank you the old man they know real teenagers these people be grown men grown men stock cage and everything whites and kids some of them all right thank you all right and that's exactly it you know 30s and 20s right I'm looking I'm looking this is garbage right that's what I'm saying to myself right the other thing that jumped out to me is very obvious that he did not come up with this script by himself but very obvious right if you are talking to somebody who's never quoted a Hadith and all of a sudden he magically finds clips from him a lot to show the medically booked boot lickers that even Shake albani has opposed the leaders right and I'm like this is team sports it has nothing to do with Quran nothing to do with Sunnah nothing to do with right this is the new religion this is the new sect of Islam the raw Bella right this is them you get it you know the enemy of my enemy right I'm telling the brother you mean to tell me that that's um uh what should we call it then he all of a sudden he starts listening to sheikha and I said look at the clip that he used for Sheikh Albany okay about he he's look Shake all Ben he's criticizing the leaders the sheikhail Benny call these people boot lickers does is he saying the same thing that these people are saying is he saying they use that type of trunk don't use them terms right you are talking about a time where the whole entire Muslim um was in a crisis because of the Iraq War all of the um I was there right right we were born in that time you were swimming around in your in your daddy's balls you know when this was going on all right can't tell me nothing all right I was there or I witnessed the whole thing right and at the same time when he's criticizing the facility a government for inviting the Americans to come and repel the um Saddam saddam's uh what you call it advances on Saudi Arabia right is saying that they shouldn't invite The Americans and if the people are not with us and at the Muslims should be taken care of this thing that's what shayko Bandy stands for us right was he caught calling out the Saudi regime this and the Saudi do you ever hear this from Shameless ever like these people nah he never called them boot lickers and things like that but he definitely disagreed with the soul never he never did you don't see that because you don't know the whole context you don't you're not seeing the whole picture and then when he disagree at the end of the day when that whole thing happened [ __ ] called banish chicken after all of that they were still Brothers after all of that you people want us to abandon you know the medically Bootleggers right as you call them right the mentally bootlookers it fights you're a fight bro like we ain't got nothing to do with that you fight your fight please wouldn't you say uh would you what would you react to If I put forward that this is this whole thing that's happening is blow back from salafi Publications yeah of course I mean the wheel we know that we know that right uh maybe maybe yes maybe you know because if you think about salafi pubs and you think about Daniel Daniel resembles a lot like uh hisputaria and this is been around for a long time you know they're not as popular yeah but remember they were years like we didn't hear about them for so long after after his dismantling of them every album first of all every island I can't think of a single album that didn't refute these guys all of them refuted them they were gone and they were out of our hair right the question is how did his mother make a resurrection how did they come back somebody somebody tell me how they came back the Muslims in the West which Muslims UK Resurrection [Music] YouTube made their Resurrection oh I like anybody who who um is trying to establish the key laugh it's YouTubers yeah if they have a strong they're strong on the YouTube they were out and they were like you know what I'm saying we when they were like completely a lot of them got locked up a lot of them was in the feds and locked up in prison 10 20 years I know one just came out about these guys like what like now they're back right because of YouTube you know what I mean and these kids are just eating that crap up man like they could eat the crap up and calling it chocolate put a little sugar on it it's gonna be chocolate don't worry about it because when he was because when a brother said about salafi pubs you know it was like a blowback I I know I don't think so in 100 because at least that some of you pop followers they already know the philosopher you don't bring him to the Muslims teach SP not doing that they doing some other grimy stuff what I think the brothers go ahead go ahead SEO yeah I don't mean that they're they're they're imitating SP what I'm saying about blowback like like blowback when they say blowback like when okay um America going into Iraq created the conditions for um Isis to come about it's not that they directly created well [Laughter] you know what I'm saying yeah they created the conditions that it caused it to come about yeah the SB create the conditions for this to come about so people's reaction to SP has created this environment where these people can come forth yeah exactly exactly because they they've done to ruin so many lives and and refuted so many people that now all these guys are uniting right because of SP you get me and literally but they don't mention SP people though that's the thing Daniel never never really unless you talk because like we Daniel opened his mouth right he says this is my issue with interpreting what Daniel's trying to say when he used the word is when he because the word mercury is more than just boot liquor it has a very various meanings and interpretations it can mean anybody who likes the Saudi government from the machine from the scholars it could also mean the followers of Sheikh rabi and mechadi right so when Daniel was attacking the Mercury right is he attacking SP because SP was never talking about him SP never was talking about him before recently my position on that whole thing is that the reason why they use the term medically is to censor anybody who has the position that you know you shouldn't be uh speaking against the the Muslim rulership that that's it they they're the ones who need to define the term not us it's not upon us because the people today who use Metals let me finish right because Muhammad hijab there's a clip on SP files okay where he's talking with Daniel about the medical east you know what Muhammad Jack said well Allah okay anybody can go watch this right now okay this is what he's this is what he's saying he's he's trying to define medically again not me you're right he's saying that the medicalists are the followers of Sheikh will be binhadi and messily right but not every scholar not every medically is a follower of Sheikh rabib and Hadi and medically however there's another group and while he said this okay Jordan and Jordan okay yeah I saw the clip [Applause] there's another group called The halibutes please explain to me what a hollow bite is he's trying to say that people people are following the the men has uh Sheikh Ali Hassan right that's what he's trying to say hanging up that group I think he made it up on the spot okay to try to make it sound like this there's type of of conspiracy to silence people from speaking against the rulers so he has to make something up because he knows very well that not everybody you know follow sacred being you know nor the people the people don't follow Sheikh could be they have a position that's positioned that you know you're not supposed to you know speak against the Muslim rulers they have this position what is he doing he's introducing a hollow Beast foreign he was trying to cover all bases in my opinion in my opinion the reason they're not going to drill it down is because they want to attack Allah fear because sort of fear is the only credible Wing or part of Islam so if he's the only thing that that obliterates their battle like they're on they're on bottles most of them like it's not the Sunnah what they're on is not the Sunnah so like to say oh they're fighting in between each other or he's mentally this or super selfie there's a they're just trying to attack Islam their whole their whole God was is ad hominem against salafia that's it that's the whole it's the any type of insult they can roll our way it's it's cool with them they don't care right it's very easy for us to go and you know basically go on the Min bar and call you know the leaders and everybody following boot lickers or whatever if they show us the command from the Quran and hey to do so if you could show us the command from the Quran or an Aya or or a Hadith from the prophecy son ordering us okay to speak against we're not saying that this salaf did it and that no we're not asking for that we're just asking for the the Leo to do so only that because we know you we know you people you like to to basically embellish with and play with ayats anyways right what we see is very clear ayat forbidding us to do it correct we see it for we've seen that we see the the uh what should we call it the command not to go against the rulers and not to criticize we see these commands very clearly in black and white you know what I mean but I I I I I think they have another agenda why they no this is my observation over the years with non-solutely people or but really are not you know I think Yasir Academy and then Muhammad hijab um are reusing the salafisa so when I think about the brother said the blowback from SP it could be there I think so but I wanted this mission that there there is an understanding that the followers who claim salafia in America or in the west they're very ignorant themselves about the religion and that's from my personal experience um be following salafia so I have noticed that everybody from these groups these peoples I mentioned every one of them at one time were with seller fees or associate themselves with seller fees or social being salafi or mixing with seller fees right so let's look at Yasser Kathy I personally believe that yes at Academy when he started up the marketing institutes that he always had a hidden attention I personally believe this that yassat Academy when he first started out he already knew and understood that anybody was a graduate from Medina University that any Muslim from any country is going to respect you so he had that he got that degree from uh Medina University he started out modular Institute calling to salafia once you start getting the youth Daniel's following just trying to follow his way when he got to sell it for you what did uh ayas Academy do yes Academy switched up he went there and made a bayang with the sufis right and then he got some of the followers the use from the sufis to join moderate Institute then they wrote that Bayan right that they're not going to be refuting each other you know the sufis and stuff and some of the salafi his Sufi came out and said that Bayan is Balto right what you ask a caddy do after that right after that yes Academy winning got a degree what is from Oxford what university he got his degree from uh um I believe it's uh Harvard yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah right so he went to Yale right and then he he knows and understand when he once you go to Yale now the deci and the Muslims from the Middle East they respect the circular eurocentric education they're going to respect that degree from Yale so once he got the salafi youth the sufi's youth he went to Yale got a degree with his PhD right then he got what he got the old school people the older people from his community who respect that eurocentric um European um uh universities and degree right it it that I mean uh Yasin is very smart once he did that once he got those peoples what did the yasu academy do then he turned away from salafio all together and said you know start um talking against Sheikh Muhammad up after he translated one of his books into English and one of the in the commentary made a lot of money off of that book was teaching the books of Muhammad now he wants to get a those deviant people from his country who got money let's be real no people's got money there's many of them in his country the other majority he made that move right he got his followers I think Daniel was trying to do what Yas Academy was doing that's why he was mingling with the Sullivan I don't think you just don't have the correct at the at the end of the day right like all this stuff that they're doing right what are we doing you know following them unfortunately some of us are following them black folks by and large they don't follow these things like even just naturally they don't follow them just naturally they don't fall like they we have like this type of device yeah nah bro come on me you know who that guy who's mad with me because I I called out Daniel one of our Associates you know he was black going for his PhD who I don't want to mention his name come I already show you his Clips that's one person bro there's a whole bunch of them I don't know I don't know people just in the black community just running you know living School let's go um to Daniel and kikuchu and whatever and I've never seen that yes bro I'm telling you it was there because yeah when you show me he was racist not a whole bunch of them I have Associates with black I'm telling you right here but I I don't know them I don't know them I know a few minutes listen to Daniel no I don't know them right yeah maybe uh maybe I'm you know but for for what I'm seeing The Wider The Wider particularly in the black Grassroots they don't follow these guys they don't follow them no they don't follow them just naturally they don't you know I mean they look at them go ahead I've seen some of the Somali new from uh gravitating to them yeah there's Somalia what do you expect sorry to say it like that yeah yeah that's true let's talk about but it's too bad you know what I mean like if you're a easterner yeah you know what I'm saying like you know Daddy's trying to get followers man I think that's what he mixed and I think he from and Conference I think he got I think he pulled some of their followers I I honestly think he did well at the end of the day like what I'm saying is that what are we doing week weekend we can basically talk about him all day long or whatever right but we have to put in the work towards them so there's this massive void okay because in the Black Tower spaces black people have been been largely um uh what's like ignored right for many many years but only now it's only now recently that you find black to ought openly saying you know what we need to handle black issues that just started and so there is definitely a uh a demand from the people from The Wider community and what it is is that the black to watch because they have been under attack from as far as I can remember right absolutely as far as I can remember and then be ordered by outside people the people within the black people have been ordered by outside people to attack their own black scholarship right and they've never really received the support of the people right it's only now that we're starting to see the people you're saying you know staying on code and you know supporting the black to what and so the black Dua are now showing the love now right but we are the ones who have to make make that um you know that keep that that uh that we are spinning right because if we don't then we're going to lose it all again that's true that's 100 um so so Daniel is Jenny is just doing what he's he's supposed to do you know how many Jam they're doing what they're supposed to do they were way better what do you what do you expect right like like I know y'all laugh when I say oh yeah what do you think is Somalia is going to do right they coming from the East Brook got another he's saying he's trying to understand attack in what way I've got a question Musa how old are you first of all not we're not I think he's there yeah you can face this face to face but then you probably feel intimidated how old are you bro we're not gonna bite you mentioned if you wanted to take knowledge you'd go to the scholars and ask a student of knowledge right um just just I'm just curious really I don't have access to comments right now so that's why I'm asking you out in person um I'm polite I'm British and then you know Canadian he's going to say sorry you know it's all good don't worry about don't go back yeah but don't be afraid just come on and ask a question man I'm from New York man I'm just ruled by Nature I'm from New York yeah you don't mean that he's nice I'm in New York man we're not nice being nice in New York you're going to take music bro what are you afraid of just come on man I'll just be quiet when you come on if you come on you know when you leave comments there's no there's no um will come through yeah you know I mean but when you're talking then we can just make you know just basically see where you're coming from and it's and it's the problem but for some of these some of these guys I mean I'm I think everybody on this I'm not gonna speak for everybody but I know at least two of your brothers are over 40. no I'm not over 40 thank you for not speaking for me but the rest of us is over are over 40. um and uh there's a there is a generational Gap because you know uh yeah we we all use technology but some of these youth they need you for giving technology as babies [Laughter] iPad you know when they were able to sit up and told to entertain themselves they they this is all they know they never you know they never experienced they never been to uh they know they said they never sit in a Circle of Knowledge they never have been to a uh qns Corona Suna Society conference they never oh that stuff is just like you talking about another age another world that they have no clue about um and even even today even now even the people who are teaching religion in the master they have to make it like entertaining just to keep the peoples to calm attention attention yeah does it keep their attention and distance to calm they have to make it entertaining like fun and games um I was talking to a brother um maybe a couple of days ago or something right and I was telling them you know I watched this documentary about uh these Hasidic Jews in New York right um New York City right and I said if you've seen this documentary these are signatures are in New York City and it's like they're in a completely different country a totally different country it's like you're not you're not you can't believe this is New York City right everybody there's Hasidic Jew and you know what they were saying in this documentary they're saying that they there's no police there they themselves the community polices their own Community without guns okay they have a number that the woman can call right if they need security and brothers will volunteer the not Brothers but these specific choose their brothers they volunteer to go and protect their their own women in their own community and nobody in that Community has internet yeah I see no documentary yes and I'm from New York too yeah nobody in that Community has internet do they consider internet evil did not Shake who they mean Allah do not go on the internet so the Jews are benefiting from all right and we out here reaping the benefits of our kids growing up on the internet and we acting like well what's the problem because we don't want to give up the internet also because people will talk from their own desires people talk about the dean and have no knowledge he said something like that I'm gonna believe he said something like that right you open the door to people who have no Elm to speak about the being with no knowledge I believe yeah they gave this for Tower okay and the Jews are benefiting from from the fatawat everybody in that Community is Rich all of my money okay nobody broke nobody ain't not paying their rent right they all have stable families are we as black folks are we willing to give up the internet to build a real Community are we willing to do that also the uh and the anabaptists and the uh Amish as well captain foreign basically um just wanted to expand on your comment that you made earlier um you mentioned attack so what do you mean by attack were attacked into silence and it's only now that that they're getting some traction and some support from from there yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay but he wasn't so that that goes back to what we were asking before like how old are you patience exactly so yeah how old are you Musa um I don't I'm in my early 30s I'm just like okay yeah yeah right okay so that makes sense right this question here makes sense right right and because we already put this this out on the channel already right back in the day there was from spupps at least particularly from spokes this campaign to make sure that particularly black Dwight coming back from Medina right and Yemen who are not on their program would be eviscerated absolutely eviscerated right any black do art that was not on the same page as them they would get refuted very quickly and we put out a long list of names A long long list of names and we said you think this is coincidence do you think this is by happenstance and for almost two solid decades any black to watch that mentioned anything with regards to the black experience or or black problems what do they get labeled as somebody say it Blackness even in the UK there's um there's one brother Ismail when he was in uh Medina he's a young guy he's like probably a year older than me but he's yeah he's past us yeah Allah have mercy on him anyway when he was a Medina like a massive Fitness happened with him and the and those guys the point where I'm sure that you even heard about it in Canada even though you've probably never met the man um yeah yeah we know about that fitna very well yeah very very well that's basically what we're talking about yes right so they're getting attacked on account that they do not join the SP wave bandwagon basically yeah specifically SP re right okay right okay okay I can understand that if it's um but yeah I mean how many um black data were really talking about basically the blacks name them name black to what that you know um I know what was that there's a brother from Medina I mean the Hadith disciple I know one of him yep he's one of them yes they attacked him yes as soon as he came back they attacked him yeah they attacked him as soon as he came back he told them in the Masjid they need to stop refuting people they need to start teaching the basic the basic of the religion he said people go to work nine to five you can't they can't come to the mansion you talking about don't technology from this person refute this person and they don't know the basic of their religion they refuted him for that yeah so apart from I mean SP I've refused everyone that's not on there on an SP whether you're black or white right they they attack everyone do they really here for a few everyone though do they yeah they repeat everyone I mean they go over extend for black people the black doors I mean I mean I'm okay right and I mean I I know I love it with all due respect it's not likely that you would know SP better than I do just because you're in the time zone as me it's two o'clock in the morning let him speak please so what I'm saying is sp from what I've experienced right is that they go after basically everyone that's not on their band record so if you're not part of sellership for Fabrications you either get labeled as a horizon regard misguide others that's how they label everyone that's from what I've understood from what I've seen throughout the years I think that would be a fair statement I mean right but so what I'm trying to understand is are you saying that this is can I ask you a question yeah go ahead okay yeah you're kind of right they refuted a lot of different people um have have you seen anyone from anyone from SP come and take over a uh Eric Masjid or take over a um Southeast Asian Masjid no they do their own messages they don't go so that's biscuits generally they did that it depends on it depends on what I'm saying it depends on the place you got to understand also brother it depends on the point the men had your domestic right so generally I mean the South Asian masjids there are I'm talking about selfie messages I'm not talking about a sushi Mansion have you seen these people come take a selfie Masjid away from a selfie Imam because they kicked him off the Min hedge and literally break down the doors so it literally changed the locks on the doors sorry guys yeah basically the landscape the landscape in the UK is a little bit different so when it comes to salafi massage it in the UK than their few and far between um and the ones that that were established by selling for Publications they tend to set up their own ones rather than try to take over ones that already existed yeah so that's kind of like the background because there were selfies in America before SP exactly exactly yes yeah so there were people upon the salafi Manhattans in America before SP popped off that's right so so SP King it came in just like the like like I hate to use this an analogy but if you're if you got a spot you got a spot where you selling dope and then somebody comes they're talking they're talking to people on the street about how your dope isn't good or you're soft they keep in that people people start thinking you know what they are kind of soft and then they run up in your spot and take your spot that's what it would the horrible analogy but that's what it was like there were already communities overly established in America Canada North you see North America and then when SP came along they sabotaged they began attacking the leaders of these communities making people doubt them and turn against them or creating a wedge in those communities and then even going as far as what I just said earlier taking over some of those massages and putting SP approved students of knowledge into those messaging right now you didn't see that happen you see that happen in the Years sorry guys uh he says here tuned in late here is it if it's possible can you summarize what we're discussing here lots of Left Right may Allah reward the brother and bless the brother and multiply it for you ten thousand fold I mean yummy right so right now uh we're talking about the sabotaging specifically because I don't want to get too far off topic okay of black duat right the sabotaging and the attacking of black to what right then the question came from Musa the gamer uh don't do they don't they just attack everybody and I said no they don't attack everybody I know very well because those of you who know me right know that I was a part of Troy for a long time okay a very long time I know them very well I know how they operate but they will attack any black seller fee who is not with their program this is what we are seeing and if you don't believe that look at the white celebrities that they have attacked name them right now yes the card yeah one time I don't have that white white celebis I need to sleep thank you do I need to say anymore right so when you when you say attack right you mean does attack mean being silent on them is the silence no right they would write a hit piece they would basically take a snippet of something that anyone has said put it out of context take it to her shift also shake for their opinion on this thing but I'm giving context a hit piece is written and it'll say don't take from this so and so because after my hands and they would do that methodically best friends boycott each other half of you have mastered split half the matches the last year doesn't give Salam to the other half of the last year uh yeah yeah I definitely I definitely understandable what I'm saying is they also did attack other you know Duets that were black nobody's known that they didn't attack other than what bro so okay so what I'm trying to understand wait let me go back to the beginning so I'm trying to understand is that SP you're saying SP is specifically targeted black to act because they're black specifically because they're black they left a lot of black SUVs alone right they're they're targeting black du Watts for control you understand okay um okay I said can I mentioned something Mr brother Musa Musa I'm from New York all right so I'm in I'm in the U.S all right and uh I'm right next door to Philadelphia right you know a salafi pops stronghold is in Philadelphia you know that correct all right so any salafi Dua that comes from Medina University or any sort of University that has a bachelor's Master's or PhD right and not associate with them they refute them you understand that right yes now and yeah okay now and those same masjids in Philadelphia that's what SP do you know in Philadelphia they got they got um quranio they have in Philadelphia also what's the other group um al-habashi yep yep they have them here they have also in Philadelphia um the ahmadis in Philly yep and all type of sufis do you know that in their Masjid they won't refute their imams by name on the member but they will talk about Shake tarhe whites on the member they will talk about Muhammad munir on the member they will talk about Shadi Muhammad refuting them on the member but they won't refute none of those imams from them ahmedis namsoofis and deviate masjids they will never mention their imams on the member they scared because when people come and fight them you see what I'm talking about now you understand what the brother's talking about yeah I understand what you're saying um so okay what so what you're saying is the world they won't mention them by name because of repercussions potential repercussions that can happen right backlash or whatever yeah not a cowards because [Music] no because see the the ones the ones who are graduates like for example Sheikh tarhe has his PhD right he has PhD in share the outlaw you have taskia from many of the mistake his degree alone is tuskea he taught in the prophet's mask right the prophet Muhammad he taught in the mosque of the Prophet you understand so you understand his position no one gets that position in the prophet's mosque and he's like nobody ain't got no knowledge that means that you have to have knowledge and you have taskia you know they refute him here that's P to refusing why I believe they've repeatedly because he joined that um no no no he has nothing to do with that no because he's black he's black you have his PhD and you have the ulimao from he's a threat to them he's a threat to them he's a threat to their followers their followers are ignorant they don't understand Quran listen I've been part of SP following for years I'm 44. listen I'll tell you I'm 40 but real quick I'm 44. I've been with these guys since I was about 25 26 I'm 44 years old right now I've seen it all with them all right well I personally the best right so I went into it I was I was in the United States right I was in Atlanta so I go to the message right yeah it could be bad in London Atlanta they messed up only worse than Alexa so I you know I I didn't know what what time the Salah was so I just went in there I saw the I didn't I mean I don't know why I didn't look at the clock I was I was just traveling passing through right so I pray that after I leave there's a brother the record was empty at the time I thought you know they must have prayed already I was about to leave the Masjid and then there was a guy who who stopped me was a black brother it's all the way from because he recognized I'm not from you know the United States so I say UK was we start a little small talk while I'm putting my shoes on right to leave I mean it has to be oh do you know greenlane they all they don't know everything do you know Green Lane yeah I know Green Lane oh do you know that um who who's that oh do you know command and Mickey yeah everything I'm thinking like come on they they accused um right um the accused of sales so I understand that it's a it's a cop but well so you're saying that they purposely Target black to earth right for control and okay so when you say that we do that right when you say the target black selfie diet for control you talk about the what the control of the black opinion is that what you're talking about or money money they are called so you know sell a few pubs is a religious cult and a pyramid scheme type cult so they want to monopolize it so people go buy books they buy their books when they want to go buy somebody's translation they're going to buy sell a few pubs uh approval translation you understand it's money in it so for example I translate books I translate things they would have to have I remember one of them wrote a website and say any of these people's website you see don't read their stuff right only read from SP um translators you understand so it's a business it's a business so think about it if I go to I go and sit with shaytar here and I go to his mash it I'm gonna buy his material so they don't they don't want you go out to these peoples number one they want you not to spend money on them they want your money number two they don't want these people who have degrees all right they don't want your followers to follow with them because somebody with some intelligence you start learning like oh man this guy has more knowledge of why am I going to learn from this guy from SP to go who dropped who flunk out of Medina who flunked out of uh Medina University or sort of University like uh of course that guy below Davis like he flunked out of Medina University right so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go study with this guy who flunked on my garage and got his master's degree and got taskia from the ulimat you got me you understand where we coming from so in America were you born in the 90s foreign yes yes okay so you have to think in terms of the history behind this okay you are witnessing now everything that's going on online now right what was going on in those times is not what was happening now okay back in those times when the time where you were born the internet was just popping off it was just starting the only salafi website or Muslim website rather there were two of them islam.qa and celebrate Publications that was it celebrate Publications they owned the information because they were the only website that was on the English language for Islam you understand there were no Sufi websites back then okay there was no quran.com back then you had salafi Publications you had islam.qa you had um fatua online okay and then Troy came okay you understand troid was basically it started off as just a dollar Center that's how it started we're just making Donald to the kufar only that the brother the one of the brothers of troyed he found celebrity Publications online he started posting the celebrity Publications articles on the troid website sell a few Publications it was called celebrations.com back then they sent Troy a cease and desist order and that's how troid and spupps actually met from that okay when the Abu Khadijah Bilal Davis and um I think engine was there but for sure Abu Khadijah and Bilal Davis when they came to Detroit at this big qss conference that's when the the whole uh Onslaught against the black to what started because they saw the amount of people that went to this conference it was a sea of Negros okay most like 99 black were you guys there at that conference who was there at that conference I think clu were there right I didn't I didn't catch what you just said sorry at the Detroit um the jordanians and stuff when the when when SpongeBob's first came to the states for the first time well that was um that was what was that 99 no it was before 99 I think it's 96 or something no no I wasn't there I wasn't there the qss conference he said yeah who is USS conference right but that was the first time uh solar Publications came to the states okay from before that on their website what was on on the selfie Publications website it was a key to lots lots of Akita articles lots of Akita articles okay and then they started refuting um Ashley's okay refueling that shattered I didn't even know what I actually was before I read read it on some of your Publications okay then they started refuting the amendes and Jamaica and all this kind of stuff right and what was Troy doing Troy was putting up um lectures from the scholars at that time from translated lectures okay it was the largest audio library on online that's why Troy became big because of this audio library you can't find audios now but Troy became big because of that they were translating complete lectures from Scholars okay so now what starts happening okay people start going overseas they start studying right they come back to the West salafi is growing where where is South Africa growing who are the majority of the southerners thank you black people the vast majority of celebrities were black people they're all converts all converting to Islam becoming celery and we are all going to which two websites only two celebrity.com go ahead philippi.com salafetalk.com and I came after yeah that all this time they came after that but that was that's underneath that's underneath the banner that's right troy.ca and Troy that's troy.ca and celebrate Publications but even at that time Troy was a little bit more popular because the audio library but when selfie Publications started doing what CL Edwards start saying right now celeb.com they made the salafi talk right the um the Forum the talk form okay they did uh and then then we started seeing the brothers from Philly minhedge.com okay so now it becomes this big conglomerate right but where brothers from Toronto Philadelphia and the UK to start cooperating and they own remind you this is not our time now you have everybody anybody can can become an influencer but in those times you couldn't do it they had it on lock down you understand they were controlling all the information and if you were not with the program you were locked up thank you who were the majority of the people going to study to in Medina University black black black people not a feast black people centipedes who were the majority of the students going to um the match they made sure that if you were not down with their program you would get derailed they uh refuted Shake Bilal Phillips they refuted shank I'll do the Hakeem quick they refuted they call it Yasin they refuted Abu Osama Muslim all all of these they were working together with the mind you at one point and then they just okay they refuted the one that you know is most demonier you like you're late in the game now all right yeah exactly you're coming late in the game right because you didn't see all this stuff before but there was you're thinking in your head that some of you Publications they just refute everybody right because you know they have a reputation for just refuting people and random but you don't not seeing the scheme behind it you're not seeing the plot you're just seeing the reputation you don't it was like the it was like coin Intel Pro that's yeah but it's like that's why how many white Duets that they refute they didn't do it not because there's no deviant white Dua but because it doesn't serve their purpose they know very well where their money comes from they know yeah this younger generation don't even understand the extent of it there was like spying just like like you're talking about even within in Canada over here we have um uh people in the higher ups that were working with thesis like the like you considered like the what you call the FBI in in the States and what I don't know I'm talking about spying for SP that's not for that yeah exactly that's what I'm talking about they spot for SP and they spy for it but I mean I mean a black majority the overwhelming majority is other black people in Sp is that is that the same case in in Britain no but it's not what you're saying um yeah so I'm trying to okay okay so therefore Dude That's History here that you're missing because you you were born in a time that we were seeing it you get it yeah right and you think that the tail end is the the history when the tail end is just the the after effects solippi Publications was the Islamic voice do you get it right I'll give you do they let's say what do they say for example against for example Muhammad Tim humble he's a I believe he's uh I never heard him say anything about him I haven't heard of him but the followers they follow we can talk about they follow us I never heard I never heard him say anything else but he doesn't get but he doesn't get verbally called out right my followers might not like us oh yeah oh yeah you got me but I never heard Abu Khadijah come out and talk about him no I haven't either you got me because that's not where their money is coming from their money's not you know a lot of black folks not following Tim humble don't have a lot of black followers in America you got them he's in the UK right so if it's only about money then yes at least professional right if it's only about money therefore it's not just about money though it's not about money it's a largely about money it was largely about money too like the movement let me all get one in because he's up late night go ahead yeah it's not just about the money it's also about undermining the movement whenever there's a movement that has traction with black people historically so outside of salafia just generally and this is really a hit or not as to what coins are Pros about anytime black people start to unionize sorry unify and move in a positive direction there's a force that undermines them sometimes from within this is no different it's just dressed in in a soap that's basically what it is perfectly said you know there are two type of Cults you know there's a religious cult I mean there's a if you study uh Cults right I'll tell you a little bit about cults right and um psychology all right um Cults have maybe two or three groups they are religious cults or they're Financial Cults salafi pubs is mixed with religious cults and financial Cults everything they do whenever you feel peoples in the black community one they know that hey man our money come from these people and we want to keep the money coming from these people like I want to have the only store on the Block nobody else could come on the Block and open up a store because they don't want customers going somewhere else so they're not just a religious cult they are a also a business cult there's a business to what they're doing you understand Musa yeah yeah I'm just I'm I'm just just think about it just think about I'm from the US and you know all and he's from the UK he the brother um the features he's from Canada and the other brother CL he's in the US and we we talk about detailed things about SP about salafi pubs in the UK we don't even live in the UK but we know all these things yeah so if it's primarily even so if one of the aspect is money therefore it really wasn't about dealing in the first place is that what you're saying it's just uh it's just the guys to basically about the dean in the first place it opens up for those kind of thoughts so if it's just about if it's primarily about money right and and to control the black population and to make sure the money Flows In from there right then uh at the heart of it they're insincere because everything was only about money so all the massages all the books everything the translation all the words it's just for money right how can we know we can't know that like we we don't we don't know whether initial initial intentions were we don't know that no but I do know I I do love for example rant right I'm not about rad they do support these kind of movements because they're politically they are curious right so if you I mean I mean I don't know if you guys do you know about the round yeah explain for the guests he's talking about the Rand report oh okay okay okay I heard of that before yeah yeah so I mean it's called me I hit it Harden as well there that you see that's that's what we're talking about you're coming in late in the game that that ranting is nothing new nothing new we we don't know but we've known about this for years for many many years you just found out about it because maybe you watched uh Daniel Pikachu video no no no no no no no no even sad mentioned it on his channel no I knew about around uh for a lot of the time to be honest with you like I'll do your best so that that really is not not not here neither here or there if you're talking about intention we don't know what their intention was in the beginning it could have been for dawah Allah but then how many how many people how many people how many people start with good attentions and end up somewhere else true but you're saying it's morphed into basically and that's all like all I can tell you exactly that's what I'm saying I don't know how to why what's their intention was that all I can tell you is where it went that's it what's that statement the path to hell was paved by Good Intentions yeah yeah [Laughter] okay okay so you know we don't think that you know we're like you know uh we are black and you know they don't like us because we black and that's it no we're talking from experience about SP this is not something that's been made up you know when I first came to salafiedawa back in early 2000s maybe 2003 you know it was the first things they taught me you know the first things they taught me they taught me that uh Imam siraj all right that this you know they like Imam shiraj is a black nationalist uh uh Abu Muslim I'll be mostly mad I used to make fun of him and call his name his government name which is Michael I never met Abu muslima I know his name is Michael how I know because this is what the followers did make fun of him first thing I they taught me you know and if I talk about black issues I'm considered to be a black nationalist yeah that's what I learned when I first introduction to SP didn't introduce me to some books like and stuff like this were there other black brothers that were doing this oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah yeah for sure oh that would be getting mad people mentioned that routine was promoting them for a long time matter of fact you remember that talk let's back bite for an hour remember who remember that lecture that's back I remember that I remember that remember that I was a big part of that we were organizing that that was the first short Converse I was a part of that he came came to Toronto yeah he got refuted too look at that and right after that he was he got refuted unfortunately but you know remember who they were talking about we always talk about this back but let's talk about Sheikh malao Phillips that's what he was backbiting hey they was talking about Sheikh ballad Phillips why they were trying to say why Sheikh ballad Phillips is not with us refute them real good man so this day to this day man Shake below Phillips Allah bless this man with wisdom because he was exposing them from day one you know I was in my 20s my late 20s then but now I'm in my 40s I'm like yo Shake below Phillips he was exposing these guys from back in the days about their Manhattan methodology as well you know you know I remember that talking that talk was still with me to this day what year that what year was that talk it was like 95 or something 195 I think I came to Islam in 98 and I was listening to that in early 2000s you know how long that video was you know how long that lecture was on the internet almost probably a decade and a half you know how many people listening to that stuff you know you know what and it charged up black people at the African-American solo fees like when when somebody knew come on scene who's a graduate the first thing they do is like you know they got a gold which one of these personalities is okay in this guy I remember when shadiq Muhammad came I remember when he came back from Medina it was very popular with these guys and so until he started talking about the dirty stuff that a lot of things going on in the Solitude community all the dirty dirt he started letting all that stuff out all the filth he start letting it out what's going on then they had to get rid of him it was spying on him they started spying on him you know there's a lot there's a lot there's a lot these people woken up a lot of homes I know a lot of brothers to this day African-American brothers who got mental health issues because of these people I'm not I'm not exaggerating there's a brother his name is um Garrett Garrett right I know him as Musa Garrett has a website he talks about SP he hate them so much Gary used to be a solar feet you should go to a uh salafi Masjid and you talk to Gary Ask Gary why he hates some of these to this day he talked about his experience with the salafis Russian wolf uh Mustafa George Mustafa George who's Mustafa George and people should know Mustafa George's right he's talking about his bad experience with Mustafa George so I'm telling a lot of brothers got mental health issues right a lot of anxiety from these people I'm telling you I know a lot of brothers born Muslim Muslim Mother and Father Anthony pubs he asked him today about salafia dawah they hate it they hate it they hate it like oh I can't like my mother my mother's Muslim or your mother's not salafi that's I mean I get people with mental health issues this is some real serious stuff you know this okay Rose I want to wrap it up I know the two British brothers are like you know waiting dying to go to sleep now and then so go first you know uh I want to say there was a brother in the chat that was asking how does the title end up I I don't even know how we ended up here from the title to be honest it's always fault there's always [Laughter] I wanted to stay on the subject he want to talk about Daniel every single time and then we end up all the way over here dealing with the gamer in his comments well next time if I if I if I join you guys then I'll I'll ask about the subject matter at hand all right if you ever if you're ever in London according whatever just let let me know I'll take you out for a TSI um what last comments you want to make go ahead no no I've got I haven't really got anything um yeah I just uh want to thank everyone for allowing me to speak on your platform all right um yeah and uh maybe I look forward to um talking to you guys in the future I hope that you really understand we're not talking about and here is like we hate people we hate people because they skin color a lot of a lot of non-blacks when they see us as Muslim black Muslims talk about experience the first thing to come to their mind is like oh these guys are like you know Pro black and if anybody speaks about anything you know like we're against other Muslims no we are trying to fix our communities we have a lot of issues in the black Muslim Community many many many compounding problems that Islam have the Solutions in our community which we're not doing so this is when a brother mentioned these things and his topics or on his um YouTube channel he's talking about issues that we as our community need to fix all right as our community because the salafi Dao from SP it destroyed a lot of this destroyed what we should have been doing like Decades of gold when SP came in is it messed it all up it messed it all up you know so I hope you understand where we're coming from because we're talking about we need to go back now and fix our communities and we're mentioning things that are you know that that you know maybe maybe when you came on and you were asking me questions like why are these guys talking like this we have a reason why we have these topics when we're talking about it and then in another sense it's a way to relieve ourselves you know if I don't talk about this maybe I go crazy in my house I'm serious there's a lot of black folks African-American Muslims who saw the feet they're going through a lot of these issues in their community and they they live in them SP communities no one's talking about this stuff and and they suffering silence they're in their house and they ain't Street suffering go look on this brother's channel right he got his video of Hassan Somali you know who Hassan Somali is it has a video right there in Philadelphia where he's the Imam in Germantown he somebody shot shot people getting shot right in front on the same street of the master he's there he's there and they don't have the solutions for none of the black issues in their Community but they talk they refuting people every day they refuted Muhammad munir they refuting shadiq Muhammad and the black people where they live Muslims are suffering are suffering they don't want to address these issues because they think it's being a black nationalist to fix black problems you know that's why I feel the way I feel you know brother CEO go ahead um uh yeah I just I agree with everything that everybody said you got to understand like the way I I was brainwashed um SP wasn't just a group in Islam SP was Islam SP was Islam and there was no other alternative so what I saw and what I experienced for myself is when a lot of brothers who received that ancestors who received that brainwashing that SP was Islam when they lost confidence in Sp or the SP became exposed or they realized SP really wasn't what it what they thought it was they were done with Islam period that the brother just said I knew brother and this happened to African-American brothers that happened the Puerto Rican Brothers it happened that Arabs that I knew I knew a really good a yemeni brother who was on on the on that he got into the dollar he was a good brother and the last person I spoke to told me he's an atheist now you know he had brothers who who left they became Black Hebrew Israelites um some of them became uh Native Americans some of them became Christian I'm I myself I left Islam I left Islam and went to became a Christian and went to Seminary to become a Christian and spoke against Islam so when the brother said that you know that type of cultish um mentality can cause mental uh disturbances and and and and illness no this is for real for real for real so yeah and that's why I said that this appears to me like blowback not directly what's going on it's not directly below back but because the SP took up so much space and it imploded it leaves room for these other guys this new this new thing to come and fill that void that's all I got to say I want to say for all the brothers that came on I want to say for all my cast I want to make it to offer the brother dude Desi may Allah reward you and bless you and multiply it for you ten thousand fold I mean everybody I mean I wanna I wanna thank a brother Musa for being brave enough to come on the show and you know just to talk to us right and do this is just what we have the platform on this what we do the lives right if you're ever if you're in the tractor just come on and just ask it's no problem you know did we did you feel threatened by us Musa no no I didn't no thank you I'll reward you and bless you all and out there in Britain time for you guys to go to sleep you got to wake up Professor I don't care it's a product of your hump day

0xrrV4bXQtE	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xrrV4bXQtE	Terrain Analysis in GRASS GIS version 8	okay everybody let's get into terrain analysis and grass eight so just to refresh uh we had the sort of basics of what grass is how to get it going and how to do your basic you know data view and manipulation that kind of stuff we are going to sort of continue talking about uh tips for how to use graphs but we're going to do in the context of achieving specific kinds of analysis and this week it's all about raster analysis and specifically uh terrain analysis analysis of topography so in project two if you're following along with the tutorial we're gonna basically cover part one and part two and part two is uh subsidiary to a train analysis it's sort of a little bit more vector querying but it's part of the whole workflow that we're working through in project two so these two things kind of go together we're going to try and cover them today so let's get into grass basically this is where we left off i have my uh map displace and the computational region set to match the uh wade hasa 30 meter srtm digital elevation model i have the wanihasa sites here on the left and the waterhouse and north bank sites on the right just to clarify these i'm going to style them so i just double click there to get into the properties i'm just going to go to the symbols and for the north bank survey i'm going to pick circle over here and i'm just going to fill them in in red why not click ok so there we have the north bank sites i'm just going to leave the wade house of sights with x's for the time being i'm just going to leave them up for now and eventually we're going to do some sql querying to get a subset of sites out of there but for now i'm just going to leave them up there we're basically going to work uh start working with the idea that we'll use the wadi hasa survey data as our sort of control data set or the data set that we're going to use when we eventually get to predictive modeling and we'll leave the wadi house of north bank survey as its sort of testing data set to see if any predictive model we eventually get to in project three has any weight okay a little foreshadowing uh but for the time being let's start and uh in fact what i'm really going to do is just to look at uh the dem by default it's colored in this sort of blue through green to yellow color scheme that's called viridis but maybe you want to change the color scheme so let's work on raster styling the easiest way is just to double-click and you get to the d-rest again you can right-click and go to properties or you can click on that little box there too here you can do a couple of different things but the first thing you want might want to be able to do is to only display values of a certain uh colors between a certain value so you might not want to see anything let's say below c level and so if this map has negative values you might want to just make those kind of go away just for visual purposes so you could put zero dash and then pick a absolute maximum let's say a thousand meters and hit apply and anything that is above a thousand meters it looks white but actually it's no data null at this point and anything below zero would uh would also be y in our case if our map area was a little bit bigger the dead sea is actually just off you know that way to the west so it would actually disappear as well now in this particular case that's not terribly useful other than quickly showing us where the 1000 meter iso yet is in our elevation map but let's say we were looking at slope or something and we really wanted to get rid of some of these other values just for display purposes this is helpful okay so that's basically the only thing you can really do in the drast that is semi-useful other than load a new map in to change the colors you can right click on this and go down to where it says set color table and it brings up a module called r colors now in grass there's almost always two or three different ways to pull up the same tool you could get to this from raster manage colors or colors and as long as we had selected a raster map previously in our layer manager it will pull in the name over here where it says name of raster map so effectively we've done the same thing if we had more than one raster map we could leave the same our colors up and just from here select a variety of them and once we get a few raster maps made we'll be able to see that they'll show up there and so you can just use the module up and quickly change the colors for all the maps in your layer tree which is a nice thing because then you don't have to continually right click and choose you know change colors etc okay so again there are tabs here along the top if you don't like them along the top you can go into the settings preferences and uh i think it's i have to look at where it is uh tools i think i never change it it's in here somewhere you can put them as tabs along the side if you wanted to um but basically you're almost always going to have to click on more than one tab in order to parameterize the routine before it does it so the first tab is the map only the map selection you can pick a different map in here automatically everyone got chosen we go to the define tab and this is where we get to choose our color table so if we click here name of color table we have all of these different color tables that we can choose from let's pick one that's srtm since this is an srtm and just hit run and you can see the module stays open and now we've changed the color and maybe we're pleased with the way that looks but maybe we think it looks a little bit drab so what we could do go back to the define tab we could pick another one of these things and uh you know there's one that's specifically called terrain so we could run that and maybe we like that maybe we don't or we'll just put it back on the srtm because that was the one i wanted to show you with we could do something called stretching or uh equalizing the color scheme and it may or may not work depending on your data but what you would do is just uncheck the check this box called histogram equalization and hit run and it may look terrible like it did here because it's going to pull the values to the extreme from the zero point to the maximum point but only with the data that's in your working computational region so in our case srtm color scheme has this dark color which is supposed to represent things below zero because it does show the ocean and that kind of stuff so it's not the best color scheme to stretch like this but we could switch to uh let's see let's say the sepia color stream let's take off the equalization so i can show you what it looked like before look like that looks pretty good but if we click that button we get a little bit more dramatic of an effect right and so depending on the color scheme histogram equalization might work really well for you the other option is a logarithmic scaling and if we do that it really this case kind of washes that out because what it does is it starts off with big increments and then the increments gets smaller the other way around small increments and then the increments get bigger over time so it doesn't work with sepia but let's just see if it works with srtm in this case it really doesn't work at all with that but it might work with uh something like a um more like an image like a satellite image or something like that so uh let's go back i like that cpu well enough with the histogram stretch um actually we can even go back to our let's see where our varidis is there and leave the histogram stretch and maybe that would look good too yeah so that gives us a little bit more relief so this is just visual right it doesn't really do anything in terms of changing the numbers underneath it's literally just the colors that are mapped to the numbers and if we wanted to we could add our raster legend to this and we get a color scale over here which helps us map the visual colors to the actual numbers that are in the raster data over here and that helps us understand change in this case a change in elevation so what if we wanted to have a little bit more like 3d kind of a pop to our view well there is a 3d viewer but before we do that um there's a special way for elevation digital elevation models to get a kind of a still flat map view but to make it look pseudo 3d and that's called doing a hill shade so let's do that if we go to the raster menu up here in the top and we go down to the terrain analysis tool over here what we can do is find our shaded relief r dot relief and it's called compute shaded relief and that pops up over here and again because i have selected this in the layer tree it automatically pulls the name in but if not i would just select the map just by clicking on the little arrow and here now we have an output name for output shaded relief map so i'm just going to call it hasa 30m shade i'm just going to use all capitals now we can't have any spaces and we can't use any dashes in the names because dashes will be interpreted when we do raster math as a minus sign and spaces is just a thing it doesn't want you to do so i use underscores you can use periods although that can get confusing or you can decide to write in um what is it this i can't remember the the name for it there's a special case where you use capitals uh like this you know it's a programming language thing where you just capitalize the first letter of every word but you don't use any spaces you could do it this way i came up with in in the underscore kind of generation 30 meter shade okay and you've got some other tabs over here we can change the position of the sun and you know by default it puts it kind of early i think early morning early afternoon you could change it it will change the sort of way that it's popped and you can exaggerate it by really putting the sun down you know at the horizon or something like that but the defaults are generally okay the only other thing that you might want to change is this factor for exaggerating relief this is the z exaggeration factor one to one is normal so i'll show you that right now and then we'll do like a two or a three to one and see what that looks like so at this particular point we've parameterized everything we want we have the name of our output map it says add create a map into the layer tree which is fine that's checked by default we'll just hit run and there is our shaded relief our one to one shaded relief okay i'll show you how we can use this in a second but just briefly while we still have this open i'll go in here and i'll change this to a three times vertical exaggeration and here i'll put another underscore and i'll put three x three times vertical exaggeration and then i'll just hit run and now we can see the 3x is just like you know everything's a little bit more bold okay so the first thing that we can do is to drop these underneath and then we can right click on our srtm which is now the one that's on top and we can go to um change opacity level there it is and so we can just make this like uh somewhere in the realm of like 60 opacity and doesn't really matter we might want to change that and what we can see now is that we can basically still see the color from the sotm but we can see through it and the black and white shading from the hill shade is underneath it and it kind of starts to pop up at us and of course you can play around with the opacity maybe 60 is too much let's go to like 75 or something like that and you can kind of play around with it that way and just for fun let's take a look this is the 1x and this is the 3x 1x 3x so you can basically see how much exaggeration adds to the pop that you get now that's the simplest way just changing the opacity let's undo all of that and we'll add a special hill shade layer so this is the normal and raster map layer and then there's add various raster map layers just next to it and in there you'll see shaded relief map layer and now you have the ability to pick first your shaded relief and second the color map to drape over it and so i'll pick srtm and optionally you can brighten it over here but let's just click apply and you can see instead of looking kind of washed out like we had with the one where we used opacity instead it looks almost too dark so here's where you might want to apply some brightening let's just add 10 and see what that does for us it's looking better i find usually somewhere around 30 is a nice sort of starting point and you might want to go even higher let's try 50. yeah let's start looking pretty nice on my screen and the only deal here uh is that if you want to now switch from the we we picked the 3x if you want to switch you have to open d shade again which you can do simply by double clicking now on that layer and go in here and pick the other the regular shade map the first one we made and now we're switching back and forth between the exaggerated shaded relief and the one to one shaded relief so this is a good approach if you want to show some topography and some 3d pop to the topography but you don't want to go into the true 3d view which is a perspective view this is still a plan view a map view and this is acceptable for making a plan view map because when we put our sights back on top of this in this case now the black x's are kind of hard to see so i'm going to just change them to be let's just change them to be white x's and uh what i'll do is just increase the symbol size from five to seven and then we'll be able to see them a little bit better right so what we can do now is have that topography shown in sudo 3d but have it still be a plan view map so that the horizontal distances between everything is still to scale okay so this is really good for for making little figures where you want to show something about the topography but you also still need to show your data and plan view okay so let's go ahead and uncheck everything here now that's important because when we go into the true 3d i'm going to change the opacity back to 100 it's going to try and put anything that has got a check mark in the layer manager it's going to try and put anything that is currently visible into a 3d view and it's going to try and use the numbers that are in that raster map to render the 3d view and the shade maps have nonsensical numbers they're basically 0 to 255 white to black just to show the shade value so you don't want them to be checked and in this particular case i'm just going to right click and remove those layers to get them out and we'll leave the other one unchecked because maybe later we want to we want to work with it at some point when we make a flat map but to switch to the 3d view just make sure anything you want to visualize is checked and then go over to the map display and click where it says 2d view and switch it to the 3d view and we get a brand new perspective on this and we get a whole new tab over here so this is a little bit funny for people who aren't used to navigating in 3d the tools up here still work i can pan around but now i'm like floating in the air like in a helicopter and i'm looking down at this little square of landscape and i can still zoom in in this case each click brings me in or my mouse wheel can bring me in or out i can now have a couple new uh interactions things so i can actually spin by clicking and dragging on the thing right here and it's a little bit funny to do at first uh like so or i can have this weird airplane view which you kind of click and hold and you kind of fly through it and you might be wondering why it's blurring out i'll talk about that in a little bit okay the other way you can control your view is over here by clicking and dragging this this view angle so you have to imagine you're the dot and the land center of the landscape is the center over this place and you're just moving where you're looking from and these are the cardinal directions so i'm putting myself in the southwest corner looking up the body now at this particular point now over here i can change the tilt i guess of the you know the vertical tilt so technically the height of my perspective above the ground but because it's an angle to the center point it kind of tilts the map when you do it that way and i can change the exaggeration here so i can go to my 3x z exaggeration here if i really wanted to right in that case i might have to raise myself up or lower myself down depending on the case maybe let's set the z back to one and also i can kind of change this is uh perspective it's really just like a zoom telephoto lens i'm far away but i can set it to be zoomed in closer and it will it will distort the image a little bit but bring it closer to me or against that to be more like a wide angle so basically the more to the left the more you're zoomed in and the more to the right the more you're zoomed out okay so by default it's usually set at a reasonable perspective somewhere there and then tilt is the xy tilt and we usually we usually want to leave that at zero and by the way you can just enter zero in there and hit enter and it will put it wherever you want so for example to set the zhi to five i can just put five and hit enter and i can put one and hit enter that's a little bit more precise okay and then there's some navigation things look here and then oops i can click uh on the map and it will center that point and depending on how my perspective is it might throw it off to the side i can always hit click center and it resets it to the center i can put it look from the top i can reset to the initial conditions so there's a lot of useful little buttons there um i'll just make this guy a little bit bigger so that everything shows up i could change the background color if i don't like the white i can change it to black or i can change it to gray or red or whatever i want right i'm just going to leave it at on white like so so that's the view tab we have a data tab and an appearance tab an analysis tab and then an animation tab so the data tab if we had multiple layers loaded in here and you can have multiple layers loaded at the same time it can get confusing but you can bring them in here and you can actually separate them so they're hovering above each other there's a lot you can do in the 3d view but really what we typically want to do the first thing is to change the resolution there's a fine mode and a course mode and by default it sets it to lower than the native resolution of the file you're looking at here it's set to a six cell resolution let's just change fine to one and if we hit enter and we go back here and just drag around to a view that we like let's look at it from this side and i'm just going to zoom in a little bit more so now we actually see some detail in the landscape because we're showing each individual cell at the native resolution of a better perspective on this and again uh the 3d perspective navigation is definitely something that you're going to want to play around with and get used to in fact i'm gonna make my screen over here bigger hey get big there we go uh yeah something like so seems reasonable to me at this particular moment okay let's now when we now set our z exaggeration it's actually going to be a bit more useful of the thing for us to be able to do okay and let's see if we're working directly this way and bring ourselves back down into i'm just trying to get you a nice view there we go and so now we've got maybe three is too much so we'll go down to two i got a nice perspective on some of this topography but it looks still pretty dark right so from the data tab we'll go to the appearance tab and here we can crank the brightness of the sunlight up and uh we can also we can reduce the ambient light or increase the ambient light to sort of wash it out a little bit more or less and we can change the position of the sun from morning till afternoon if we wanted to and we can really drag it out so depending on your view a morning morning sun might make it pop a little more than late afternoon sun noontime sun is probably going to make it look pretty pretty washed out but early morning sun can really make some of these shadows pop and you can change the height of the sun and you can really really exaggerate some of those shadows again this is all perspective okay you can also hear place a north arrow now the north arrow is going to be dependent on the perspective so if you put it far into the scene it will look smaller than if you place it closer to the scene right because remember this is perspective you can set an absolute length for the north arrow 2000 map units and then when you place it again click place again it will get smaller in this case because this will actually be two kilometers in length you could add another scale bar here but i find if you scale the north there it's good enough and again this is you know not an analytical figure this is just a subjective perspective figure um you can add vectors to the surface over here and in our case we didn't have any selected when we enter 3d view so they're not any in here so let's go back real briefly to the duty view and let's put our whs sites uh just select them pop back into the 3d view and now there they are and so if we go back into the data tab and we go to the vector portion of it which sites is here and we can uh style them we can pick different symbols so we can put them back to our little x's and we can change the color if we didn't like white we could change them to red or something like that you know there's a variety of different symbols that you can choose and you can display them right on the surface or you can make them float a little bit above the surface and depending on you know the symbol that you choose you know that might be okay depending on what you want to do so that's basically the 3d view in a nutshell a perspective view is really really useful one last thing that i will do a little bit later is to show you how to put some different color draped over the top of the topography just kind of like what we did with the hill shade but in our case the color the only color we have right now is the color scheme we picked for our elevation so we need to make some other raster maps first before we can drape on top of it so let's pop into the 2d view mode again i'll just sort of make my sites go away at the moment and i will show you just a couple basic uh tools that are useful for understanding the uh specifics about topography not just the the view and the scale bar but let's firstly get a histogram of the values that are in our map over here so we're going to click on this little button that says analyze map and we have a variety of tools here the one we're going to pick is this one called create histogram of raster map and it brings up the histogram tool it's a pretty simple tool all this is is i'm going to make it bigger i'm going to make it as big as the whole screen [Music] these are counts of numbers of cells that have values numbers in the cell of the value that corresponds along the x-axis here so this point right here is a value of one thousand one thousand meters above sea level and if we go up and we go over we see that somewhere in the realm of 25 000 cells across the whole map that we're looking at have that value of 1000 and so at each point in our little plot here the taller the line the more cells have that particular value and for our case here we're looking at this and we're seeing here's sea level we have a little contingent below sea level this is stuff that's you know in the jordan valley heading towards the dead sea and then you know we have a fairly flat uh you know these sort of lower values and then we have a big spike right here and most of the values in our map are somewhere around 800 or so uh meters above sievo that's the plateau and then we have a small number of cells that are in the high up lens up to about 1500 meters so now we see the whole spread of our data and where the concentrations are very quickly this is the default styling you click this little cog button and you can change the line widths and the colors and you know all the stuff that you want to do over here and you can make the line dashed you know something like that you can change the x and y scales make them logarithmic all kinds of stuff and you can basically style it so it looks nicer under the cog also our text settings and you can pick a you know change the labels here and you can uh pick a different kind of text you know for the text that appears over here and you can make it larger or smaller and you make it bold or not bold you know whatever you want so you have a plot that looks nice okay so that's a useful thing i use the histogram all the time just to quickly summarize where my data is in this particular map and i see okay this shows me the up lens we have uh you know a fairly s smooth gradation up until this point most of the landscape is somewhere in this sort of like seven to nine hundred meters range and we have a few tall cells to 1500 let's say we wanted to know the trend in elevation across a specific transect so let's say i was up here on this ridge i want to walk down through the valley to this region and measure the elevation as i went across that's pretty simple to do again analyze map and you know we have our basic distance and area measures that we had in qjs but now we have profile surface of map and it brings up this profile tool it says resist the map you want to profile click ok you can profile more than one map at a time if you wanted to you this is the sort of blank out the map and it gives you this pencil tool when you click that button right here and now you enter your start point and you enter your endpoint and it shows up and again you can style it the same way with the same plot and text settings i showed you before so if you want to change the way this looks it's easy there's your start point and there's your stop point these little triangles now you can keep going and you can walk around in a in a hexagon if you wanted to and at each point where there's an inflection it puts one of those triangles now what i just did is kind of nonsensical so if i sort of break it out but let's say i wanted to follow along the water course i'm just going to do a quick and dirty job where i'm just sort of using my eye and tapping it in that becomes more and more useful because this is showing me the elevation trend of the channel bottom as i go you know upstream right and so now i get you know i did that real quick but if i was a little bit more careful i could actually get a pretty meaningful little profile out of this now there is again a special profile tool so that if i wanted to do this automatically with a pre-made vector line or any set of vector lines like an extracted stream network i can make profiles automatically using uh the profile tool which is somewhere in here i can't remember off the top of my head v profiles or something like that okay we've covered a lot so this might be a time when you take a quick break and we're going to come back and take a look at making some derivative maps from topography okay so thus far we've only worked directly with the dem itself and we've showed you how uh to see it in 3d and then to get some derivatives of uh you know just some basic um statistics about the range of values in this map let's make our first derivative map and that will be a map of slope and then one of aspect and to do that we'll go to raster terrain analysis and then we'll find the one that says slope and aspect r dot slope dot aspect and yeah it brings up a brand new map sorry tool window we're going to pick our map 30 meter srtm the required tab on the outputs we can make slope and aspect at the exact same time so i'm just going to make this one slope i just want aspect and by the way remember we talked about the curvatures we can make curvatures here too profile and tangential and some other derivatives as well we're not going to bother with that today we're just going to make slope and output aspect on the settings tab over here you generally can leave them alone but let's say you wanted to change the slope from degrees to percent remember in class we talked about the difference between that this is how you do it and then here we can create the aspect is degrees clockwise from north where north would be zero instead of east being zero if you want to do that check that box here remember we talked about how the effect is in the gis often starts with east being zero whereas in the real world our compasses have usually have north as zero when they calculate asthma so depending on what you want to do with this you can check this and it might be useful uh but if you're going to chain aspect into anything else in grass just leave it the default because that's typically how it is expected so we'll just hit run and then we'll check through it and we'll make our two maps and again because we had add created maps to the layer tree it adds them in there now here's aspect and the first thing you're going to notice is that it looks kind of like a hillshade map they kind of work with the same algorithm now making sure i have my arrow here selected i'm just going to double click on the the legend the scale bar uh i'm sorry the legend bar color bar for the raster and i'm going to switch over to our aspect map click ok and actually i'm going to change the text to be yellow or something like that so we can actually read it and here we have zero to 360 degrees right so basically it's just you know around the around the clock on the degrees and the color the the lightness or the darkness represents which direction you're facing if you're standing on that slope if we look at the slope map but you have a nicer slope color scheme that's automatically associated with it and so let's pull that up like so and i think yellow will not be a good choice so let's pick maybe let's pick black and see what that does okay so here we have our slope zero degrees basically flat and the steepest slope we have is 72 degrees which is pretty steep it's like cliff edge kind of a steep thing but basically we can see here values uh across the map that that change from zero in the flattest areas as we get to the edges of the canyons they get very steep now a useful thing will be to display this color on top of maybe our hill shade so let's load up our hill shade again and double click on it and then name of raster to drape we'll instead now pick our slope map click ok and that's looking a little better i think it's actually too bright in this particular case so i'm going to darken it yeah and now we're really starting to see things a little bit better here and likewise i'll uncheck that only check the srtm and go because we're going to switch back to the 3d view so now we're in the 3d view we go to our data tab and we pick our 30 meter srtm and here we have surface attributes and we can click the slope map and put the slope map on top of it over here and of course just like before we might have to play around with our with our brightness and maybe even our sort of viewpoint so that it makes a little bit more sense for us to get ourselves a little higher off the ground and now we can start to see the patterns right a little bit better drag where i want to be there we go okay so now you're starting to see how you can add these different maps is color on top of the topography and you're doing basically data for your visual data fusion when you're doing that okay so we've done our uh hill shade we've done our 3d view sloping aspect the next thing we're going to do is to automatically use these derivatives of topography things like slope aspect and the curvatures to have the gis automatically classify different land forms and that tool is unsurprisingly in terrain analysis and there's a couple different ones there's r geomorphon and there's our param scale they both work let's just stick with our param scale for now and you can experiment with our geomorphic it works very similarly to this so we're going to pick our input srtm and depending here on what we want to output we can give a different name here so before i put the name of the output map let's just take a look at what we can do with this module and again i want to just take a plug they all have manuals and you can read all about the different things in the manual okay so i always recommend click on the manual okay so firstly we have the size of a moving window a three by three is a fine scale moving window just three cells by three but we can increase we can go from three by three to nine by nine or we can go to you know ten by ten or whatever the size we wanna do we can increase it and that will change the coarseness of the scale of whatever features this thing is going to find and here's the parameter let me just make this screen a little bigger to for to cut for it to calculate so we can just run a moving window and get the average elevation within that window that's the default but we might want to calculate slope at a coarser resolution because maybe a broad scale slope is an important aspect and let's say site location behavior the finer scales of slope doesn't matter they're just looking for a general surface trend okay aspect profile curvature cross section all kinds of stuff you can experiment with doing using this tool for those things and see how it works as you change the spatial scale of the moving window but what we're interested in is feature and features are classified landform features and this in the manual shows you exactly what these are peaks ridges passes channels pits planar areas and stuff it can't compute so if we do this now and we run uh let's just call this land forms 3x3 because we want to put the spatial scale of the moving window when we hit run it's going to jump along and put it underneath for whatever reason and there it is and that is cool but it might be a way fine spatial scale for us like these are really small ridges and really small peaks okay so we might want to instead uh change our moving window to something bigger and let's go much bigger let's go like 12 by 12 and now we'll change this to 12 x 12 and we hit run uh-oh too big or it's even so you have to actually pick divisible ones so let's go 11 by 11 and now we'll do it so these are errors that you might get again it just has to be able to make it square with a point in the center so the numbers actually have to be odd numbers now that is looking a little bit more meaningful from my perspective based on the spatial scale and again we can just take a look at the legend over here we can pick our new 12 by 12 lan form click ok and here we have our our uh read let me just resize that to something like that just to make it smaller and uh it's going to make it hard to make a nice uh color that you can see so i'll try white oh terrible let's go back to black and i'll just drag it off uh dragging off the bottom of our computational region okay so now you can see that and by the way the way i resize is i re-click i right clicked on it and i hit resize uh legend and i can draw a little box and you know it will fit it to the box so if i want to make it big i can do that i can make a big box like that and i'll make a giant legend if i want to make it small i can draw a much smaller legend it will fit it to that space okay so pretty useful uh little tip there to know okay so now i think you can see how the spatial scale of the moving window is going to make a difference for the scale of your analysis you need to pick a spatial scale that's meaningful uh a three by three and remember we have 30 by 30 cells is going to be uh what's that 120 by 120 square meters that's pretty good size 11 by 11 is going to be 330 by 330 square meters which at the landscape scale might be a little bit more meaningful and again if we pop our sights on top of that and i guess the x isn't serving as much anymore so let's get some pluses yeah that might be helpful when we're doing our predictive model to do it just maybe a couple different scales okay param scale is done uh you can play around with that and again the other one that does pretty much the same thing is the geomorphon slightly different classification scheme but you can use either of them they have the same kind of search radius deal this one's a little bit more sophisticated so i choose typically choose to go to params scale when i'm doing simple stuff or if it's beginners learning you know about what all these things actually are okay so let's deal with the last little bit here in terms of terrain analysis and we're gonna eventually get do cost service analysis but that's a big thing let's just do flow accumulation which is a kind of cost surface analysis but it's the flow of water we talked about remember there are lines or places on the landscape where water hits on one side it flows one way and if it hits the other way it goes the other side those are watershed boundaries and they flow until they accumulate to a certain depth of flow those are the channels of the channel network and so the flow accumulation modeling is a way for us to without going out there and measuring it during a rainstorm figure out how this would work just based on the properties of derivatives of elevation within the the gis and it's a fairly sophisticated algorithm that does a kind of like a cellular automata where it actually literally does this sort of walking search algorithm to figure out what these pathways are but luckily the gis is good at that and it does it fairly quickly we'll go to raster and now we'll go to hydrologic modeling and we'll pick one called r dot watershed watershed analysis now here we have our one necessary map to put in which is our dem and we can put some other maps in but we don't we don't have to worry about that at this particular moment now at this moment we're only going to do flow accumulation but this will actually try to automatically delineate watersheds and you can get maps of the watersheds out that's a little bit more advanced than what we need to do at this moment all we really want to do is to get the flow accumulation map because we're going to use it as we go forward in our predictive modeling and stuff that we're eventually going to do and we also want to extract the stream network i want to show you how you get a vector lines map out of this to show you where the centers or the streams might be so to do this we go to the outputs tab and we just click flow accumulation and i'm just going to write flow acc simple straightforward um there are other things that you can output the drainage direction stream power index blah blah blah blah blah some of these require you to have put a number in this minimum size of exterior watershed basin so we're not going to do any of that we're just going to do flow acc and there's a couple other things over here that you might want to check like use positive flow accumulation even for underestimates this are for dealing with edges that flow in from off the map we don't have to worry about any of this kind of stuff at the moment you might want to check beautify flat areas if you want it to do a little bit more intensive job in the flattish parts of your map and if you're getting flow that is uh you know not concentrated enough in streams you can play with convergence factor again read the manual to know what all that stuff does but for now i happen to just check beautify flat areas don't have to the defaults will work fine and you can see that you know depending on the size and resolution of your map it will go relatively quick or will take a long time but basically what we got going on here is uh let's get our full acc in there and let me resize this [Music] we have a map of flow accumulation now the only bad thing about not checking the positive flow accumulation for likelihood is you get a bunch of negative numbers if you got flow coming in from off the map which in most square maps you will so let me just click the positive one and if i run this now just watch what happens it says sorry the map exists can't do it so what you have to do is uh on the optional tab find uh allow output files to override existing files that's a good that's a safety check right so don't check that unless you want it to overwrite the output files because by default it's trying to save you from accidentally overwriting something you didn't want to overwrite so now i checked it i said i want to overwrite it it's going to overwrite it and now just watch what happens when it reloads all the values are positive and you can actually see quite a few of them you know get really high so all these dark numbers here if we wanted to we can double click on our legend and we could thin it or where's our subset that's what we wanted to do and we can draw a cut off it looks like real quick it turns black so the min would be zero and the max would be uh let's just put a thousand like that hit apply and let's even go one more zero so we get some maybe even one more zero okay too many zeros let's go to 30 yeah let's go to 30 000. that looks like it will give us basically the range a meaningful range of colors now it's important to note that we are cutting we are truncating this legend so the values go up beyond 30 000 so uh you know if you use this to make a figure you want to make sure you say that you truncated it or change these numbers to basically be zero to a lot just make it a relative scale or something like that okay so basically we can see what's going on now we basically have a a whole bunch of the landscape with not very much flow accumulated which is good and we can actually see so if i zoom in on one of these little areas we can see how it starts to concentrate into a variety of stream networks and by time it gets to the center streams the value for photo accumulation is big okay so let's just click around with this query tool which i'm not sure if i showed you yet or not it's pretty straightforward just click and whatever uh map you have selected over here will show you the values very similar to the little query button in qgis so here where i clicked was a value of 380. if i click there the value is 41 000. so if i like this little light blue stream as an actual stream i can see that it starts somewhere around 200 or so the value for flow accumulation now that's going to be useful for when we want to extract our streams because we have to tell it when we think we're in a stream and when we're in a gully or a hill slope or something like that so if you want these light blue things as part of your stream network you have to give it a value that's low enough so that it will capture all the light blue things if all you want is blue or dark blue you can click around once we can zoom around to a place where we're transitioning from light to dark blue like there uh and we can click like right here and look it's like 1500 would be the number that we're going to use to say only streams from 1500 and higher so click around until you figure out where you you're comfortable and where you want your stream networks to basically start and again zooming in is useful and make sure again you have the map flow acc selected because you know if i have this one selected and i click over here um i might think i'm querying flow accumulation but in fact i'm querying elevation all right if you have both of them selected by the way you'll get values for both of them you just might have to click on this little arrow to see so that's kind of a fun and useful thing over here values for flow accumulation and values for elevation at the same time in the same place the other thing i could do is um let's just select flow acc is to show a histogram i i've used the histogram a lot for this kind of stuff and in this case i would have to change it to logarithmic on the x-axis i believe oh maybe sorry logarithmic on the y-axis plot settings yeah and then i could start to see you know where cutoffs might exist but probably simpler just to click around with the with the query tool like i was showing you okay let's extract the stream network to do that going back to raster hydrologic modeling and then we're going to go down to r dot stream dot extract extraction of stream networks now it will do the flow accumulation for you if you haven't run it already i just wanted to show you the full accumulation map so you can choose here the srtm and then we're going to come back to this value we have to type in or you can also choose the created flow accmet but that will just speed it up it won't have to remake it every single time so i often do that if i have a flow accumulation map but you will also have to put the elevation because it's anything with a red asterisk is required it just won't run without it and here's where we put that number so if i like 1500 as my cutoff i just type in 1500 right here and that will be the minimum flow accumulation for it to be counted as a stream anything smaller will not be in the network of streams anything larger will be and then output maps we can do it a raster map of the streams and a vector map of the stream and we could also put flow direction so let's do streams both as a raster and as a vector because we're going to use the raster for when we do cost analysis so we'll just want to make it right now but typically you're mostly interested in making the vector map because this is a a nice hierarchical nested vector map and you can do network analysis along it and you can do things like stream order and that kind of stuff like we talked about in class so here i'm just going to write streams 1500 just so i know my cutoff and i'll just do the same now they can have the same name but because one is a vector and one is a raster it's not going to get confused it's going to put them in their place okay if you really want to you can call this this one vect and this one grass just so in your mind when you're looking at your list of maps it it reinforces what is actually there now there's a few other things that you could check here but it's probably fine at this particular moment for the basic run that we're doing here so hit run you can see it's already doing its flow accumulation but that's okay and boom there we go okay so what do we have out of here let's just uh let's just get rid of our flow accumulation map so we're looking at this and let's actually look at it on top of the hill shade uh and for the hill shade i'm going to go back to just the um just our regular srtm and i'm going to just put it back the way we had it before like so just so it's a little bit easier for us to see so firstly we made the two maps we have the raster version which is there we'll deal with that when we do cost analysis but for now let's just look at the stream vector network well okay what do we have going on here let me zoom in to one of these little areas where we extracted some streams okay so what we have is a vector lines man but also inside are vector points there are actually two types of vector geometries in here the lines are the streams right they are connected to each other so you can actually do this as a network but at each initiation and at each juncture you also have put have a vector point put in to this file we don't want to see the points we double click on this one we get our defect and it says uh let me just make this a little bit bigger selection and we have point line boundary centroid area or face normally if you only have one geometry type it doesn't matter if any of all of these are checked because you only have one geometry type in your file but here we have two geometries so let's uncheck point hit apply and the points will not be displayed and they're still in the file they're just not being displayed so if you're annoyed at having a bunch of x's do it like that conversely if all you wanted to see are the points where the places where uh streams initiated and where they join together uncheck line hit apply and that will only look at those points and no line all right now that might be useful if you're a hydrologist but for most of us uh we want to actually see the lines over here so there we go um and of course we could change the color it might be nice to make it a nice kind of funky blue you can apply like that and um what we can do is to change the overall width of the lines like so um or i think we can do it this way i can't remember what's in the column for this but let's just apply okay we would have to apply i think we'd have to apply like stroller stream order and then we can have the widths of the lines be related to the to the point in the stream okay i'd have to look up the table to to to steer you that way uh so let's just get rid of that and hit apply to get our lines back to three okay so there we have it we have extracted the stream network we have got slope and aspect we've got landform we've done a lot of terrain analysis all based on a single uh dem so i think what i'll do is i will actually wait on the rest of project uh sorry was it step two or whatever it is in project two about using the sql because that actually took a little bit longer than i thought so i will make a uh sort of mini practicum at the beginning of next week to cover this little bit over here for now if you can follow me up to this point where you have all of these things going on uh you are doing very good in your first actual real analyses in grass and i hope that as you use it and you get used to some of the tools uh and the way that grass works you can see how it enhances your ability to do rapid fire analyses of these kind compared to doing it in something like qjs which you can do a lot of this stuff if not all of this stuff exactly the same it's just a little bit much a little bit more difficult to manage all these data and you have to worry about the projections and i guarantee you you're going to come across even more errors because you have to get things set up exactly just right so okay keep an eye out for the next little mini practicum about the sql querying of the sites	Isaac

1AK9Y0B5mcI	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AK9Y0B5mcI	Timothy Jones Jr Trial : Amber's Testimony	hey everybody it's Paul with reporting live from my sofa and I am actually out in the truck today this morning it's kind of early everybody is still sleeping at the old camper and I just finished watching as you can probably tell from the title of this video Amber's testimony and I was like I'm gonna record this later I'm gonna record this later and my mind just kept going and going and going and so I was like I have to go record this now so I went out I got a cup of coffee I originally was going to do this on the beach or kind of take a walk on the beach but I just realized that this is the kickoff to season and all the public access areas where I usually go to you have to pay so next time anyways let's jump into this now what I want to do with this because these are the thoughts that kept resonating with me watching us and I'm gonna get into this in a couple of minutes want to talk about some of the you know the the superficial layers of the testimony which is about the actual case in the crime but I want to go into a little bit more of examining you know the trauma those type of things because I find that with these cases I'm always interested as you know in the psychology but you know I'm always curious like well what's fascinating about the psychology and I felt like watching amber I was really able to kind of delve into some of those answers for myself so we'll get to that in a minute first I want to talk about just the obvious nosov it here is this mother on a witness stand testifying in front of stay feet away from her ex-husband who killed all of her children and that alone I just I can't imagine my heart goes out to her my heck I tip my hat to her I have utmost respect for her I think she handled herself amazingly well on the stand I think I would have been breaking down the entire time so the you know the the question and I don't want to get too totally involved in little particulars of that aspect you know it is what it is we saw it it's very it's difficult to watch it's difficult to digest you know when the prosecutor is asking her all these different things and you're just kind of hearing this historical narrative and what's surprising to me about it I mean maybe not surprising I don't know it's the fact that I mean she's like you know he's one of the smartest guys I ever know you know which i think is also not gonna help him in this situation you know she talks about the anger that he had it's so on and so forth we hear these phone calls and that was so ear I'm gonna jump around little bit the phone calls when you knew that he was probably driving around with the bodies in the back of the car talking to her were absolutely just bone-chilling so but I think it's interesting to piece together some of their life through her another thing that I noticed about her okay so for me if I was her I would be like you're gonna have to heavily medicate me up there and this is one of the things that I kind of felt like you know wow you know the you go girl type situation yes she just felt her seemed so exhausted so emotionally spent I mean to me it was just like wow I mean you're seeing that aspect and so for me an interesting part of the whole thing is that aspect is is making that connection to be like you know okay have I ever experienced a trauma like hers no I I've not experienced that level and dramatic way of losing someone so I I don't know what that's like and that's part of the curiosity I curiosity for me at least I'm watching that at not only getting answers but it's that questioning of how does someone to maneuver this experience outlaws how does somebody act with the you know accused you know the murder how to chant with her ex-husband and feed away from her all of these things are very curious to me yeah because I've not experienced that I hope I never do and so I find that fascinating to watch and I just feel like you know for me because then I also place myself like well how do I think I would act and how do I think I would do this and whatnot and so for me I'm just like another reason when I'm like wow you know but what a woman is because I'm like would I have anything left in me to give to others after that and because of my mind I'm like I want it I would have nothing left to give it would be all I could do to make it through the day um yeah she's remarried she has a child and so that part I'm just like you know Wow I find human resiliency is amazing I think the human spirit mind all these things can bounce back way much way more than probably I give it credit for it's why I'm fascinated by watch it that's one of the things that fascinates me about these things it's like watching that obviously it was heartbreaking when she broke down I mean an honestly like I said I can't believe she made it that far without breaking down to that level because maybe she was reading those letters and again it's one of those things where a lot of the questions I ask myself are questions I hope I never have to experience such as my gosh you know what I always have that thought what if I hadn't of done blank second guessing doing all this even though once she told her story because if you watched my timeline I was questioning like well how did she get how did he get full custody I was curious about those and she answered that and it made sense to me I mean I I was like I gotcha you know she's just like look you know he is the better provider you know I don't have anything to offer these children right now so I felt like okay I get it and I also get you know I mean I have I'm full of regrets and certain things and what-ifs and you know I wish I had and things of that nature you know are some of them the equivalent that well I mean I don't want to compare I don't want to say you're never getting into the world of like well this traumas better than that what I do now you know but again hers is different than my experiences in life as I'm curious how she processes those and how she carries herself and answers these questions and I thought she did an amazing job I really did I just thought she did an amazing job for such a difficult task to have to do and I hope that she's able to you know go on like a vacation after this or something you know what I mean like just have like some time to resolve because I know this how to bring up a ton of stuff so you know this human and another aspect of part of me of curiosity with the human experience and things of that nature is you know watching her ex-husband what is he doing during this how is he acting what is he doing and part of me excuse me interesting you know what is that reaction what is the reaction of the people in the courtroom out of the lawyers side these type things it's all very fascinating to me just to see how people and I didn't think that's one of my fascination to with true crime in these cases so yeah her ex-husband yet Tim Jones jr. I mean my gosh you know he just sits up there and again like I said before he seems to weep when it's something that might be like oh you know I shouldn't have said that yeah I'm listening to myself bury myself into the jail but I mean you know I guess I was looking for something on her face like you know how did she discuss it and I felt like she just got it there and handled herself and use it were professional yeah because I don't know what her take is on you know say like the death penalty and things of that nature I don't know what her beliefs are on that if y'all do let me know in the comments so you know I can't get into that I don't know what her I just had the feeling that she's like you know what I'm gonna get up there and do the job that I have to do to either put him away for life or whatever I don't know what I guess the best way to say it is I don't know what she hopes that outcome will be because I just felt like she got it there and did what she had to do and again I'm just like wow you know that was just I mean exhaust me and I love her you know yes ma'am no ma'am I mean it's just you know she just I I have a lot of respect for her after watching her testimony and being able to go through something of that nature and so again you know I just kind of want to sum that up because now voters are pointing and staring at me um you know I just I really love learning about the psychology of these cases and how people interact with themselves with the relationships with other and the whole nine yards I think that's one of the interesting things I think the Watts case was very interesting to people for that I think this case because one thing about this case too is one thing that we see common is I mean these people aren't up there I mean yes he had I think that this guy had way more signs going on that Chris Watts dud but this you know Tim Jones jr. you know he had obviously some red flags stuff but I don't think there was any red flag signaling oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh but that's and I forgot to say this I I wonder and I was thinking this the whole time watching this and tell me what y'all think about this I wonder if he doesn't derive some kind of pleasure out of her misery and broken hardness because essentially what I think happened is he wanted to get back at her and getting back at her was killing those children and that was his way I think he got so angry cuz I mean hearsay he's always angry he's always this I mean my father was just an always angry person yeah I mean we've all probably encountered I mean I would counter counter them all the time for whatever reason these people are drawn to me maybe because I disarm their energy I don't know but please stop being drawn to me so my dad was just an angry human being and so when you just ride out on a level of anger and then you have rage on top of it it's never pretty and she describes that and so I just really think I mean you listen to these phone calls I mean I think he was I mean obviously playing with her and I think the kids were collateral damage in his world and yeah I can't help but think is he's sitting there in that courtroom you know silently smirking like I got you yeah they can do anything to me but I got you you know I got what I wanted you know you up there bawling your eyes out because I killed your children I took that away from you I mean I just feel like that's part of his MO I really do I could be wrong and again y'all tell me what you think about it so anyways but yeah I'm gonna continue watching the bits and pieces of the trial and coming back to you with my thoughts on it because this is mean this is such a fascinating trial and that's it I love you guys drop some comments below if you like and I'll talk to you soon	Reporting live from my sofa	UCahpqlIoESCdQfgWXVvQkDg	2019-05-25	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	2,172	10,705
ICerBJIOi0M	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICerBJIOi0M	Factorio Multiplayer with STHedgehog Ep5 \| Steel Production & Amor Piercing Ammo \| Gameplay	right even though all and welcome back to factorio I'm gritting in by an idio gamer hello knock hello oh and we are after little while trying to figure out the lighting and back and hope you're working now yes would be nice because yeah we tried loading it where st Hedgehog was hosting I'm hosting at the moment and I just got the leg yeah it's just it's very very strong it seems to happen when the boys are attacking which they are doing right now yep she's very nice with them Oh God holy crap there's a lot right they're gone okay they become so it's not so bad I said behind the walls there you have a few turrets there now okay okay so I will go and work on some steel production yep and I will come down here bar turrets and try and get some armor piercing ammo going sounds good in this gonna be something we need which does require steel and requires normal ammo so I'm gonna grab that normal hammer production a movie down here yeah my hotbar is a mess my hotbar has six things on it because I keep forgetting you can use it and I keep opening my inventory to grappling so yeah I've slowly side putting things on there and well yeah but [Music] okay so we are almost ready for steel production something else I keep doing this well is I keep pressing see I will talk about to try and copy them so I could put me right now that is very factories out of you yes yes like you can't do that it doesn't work that way oh yeah oh yeah how don't you see it again yeah but it is when you're playing several different games regularly it does get a little bit complicated with the hotkeys yeah like a initially trying to not press tab spring of the year the menu yes exactly in the scape to get stuff out of your hand okay right let me lay this out properly where is still gonna come in initially load the iron above the copper oh that's a good question it will be there to bottom most belts on the bottom line right okay I'm bringing over the belt that will be steel now folks so you can see where it will be though the MPL cow with a steel or be cold there and we need to get Aaron over there the bomb to turret productions aren't doing anything so they're yeah they're not getting enough keys coming down yeah yeah so I think for good enough production yeah it should only okay okay so I'm gonna I'm gonna repurpose them in go ahead it's so much boat and I'm out swing this is gonna look a little weird but it is what is the guys are gonna be in the way something so good splitter really not sure um ladies out with enough but I'm sure spice yeah as long as it works that's testing just just just yeah get it working and deal with it from that yeah okay let's see how this goes but I think we basically have steel production coal coal I hope we basically have steel production I'm sure you'd be fine okay we are making steel awesome try figure out how to stop these a cook game down here the gears right get down [Music] accidentally picking stuff up but I don't wanna do that the right all right so there's a little bit of Steel a trickle of Steel is coming your way it's nowhere near enough okay oh right Oh throw in the wrong way that would help so what's the ratio here it takes one second to make a firearm magazine and it takes three seconds to make piercing even looks at that sort of thing I was just trying that make it work okay then that was about it which is not ideal do you have ammo because I don't I've got I've got a hundred mo on me but these should be making em over destroying our stuff no oh I wasn't getting a notification about a sword or just being blind when I'm stuck in the forest I can't get over there all right let's go I only have eight magazines I hope that's enough something down here yeah this is gonna work how the hell did they get in out there mmm I just do something and I steal a little bit of ammo from some of these guns all right so where we have walls in a box somewhere yep damn right another bomb there are there are walls and there was kind of air they are dead okay they chew through our wall they're much more aggressive than I remember them being the biters they really don't like us know why I don't just yeah I just don't understand it with such friendly wonderful people yeah exactly and they just seem to want to eat us which is just not fair no it's not don't stand on the belts when you're trying to do it's a guarantee that if you're standing on belts when you're building you're gonna build in the wrong spots yeah I woulda thought so that seems like a solid a solid thing you build a well probably once we're down from where you're actually wanted to build yeah exactly and then keep doing it over and over and over yeah I'm not actually sure we're producing enough coal to support all this right now what about it wondering while it still is not coming down I have a feeling that could be the case I'm really good at this game you can tell on you as long as you're having fun it doesn't matter if you're really good I feel like a right noob honestly I must be painful to watch but then but yeah I'm learning I'm learning slowly but surely more slowly than truly but I I am learning that's the most important thing cause I build it skinny working in them like oh but then I need to have outputs on it and then I need to have this one it and then I need that what why didn't I think of that and why didn't I think of this and yeah my god what what why what okay it looks pretty good so it's a horrible mess come on so you're four and I haven't checked any of the ratios or anything on it at all so I don't know but there is correct or okay terrible you were four assemblers here making the regular mo but actively support twelve machines making armor piercing ammo oh is that my round is it okay well I I kind of figured it would need more ammo than that I said I didn't I didn't check anything for it what is what the ground requires the I could just have to make it normal am i winning yeah but I I actually think it would be okay to set up twelve machines making armor-piercing mo if we're going to do the auto feed thing yeah my sense I have a boat go round the outside of e yeah the wall feeding before you didn't need that when you were playing on like normal fighter settings only when you were playing on death world but it seemed like they have made the fighters quite a bit more aggressive the other thing that's not ideal here is obviously I'm seeing the iron from the end of the turret production I think that's gonna be a problem because the turret chest is gonna be filled pretty soon and it will come to a halt yeah sorry we're okay yeah it should be okay carpools and I make some tacos Kim yeah right right so let me get these ratios right here let me have a look-see so it's um obviously it takes one second to make a magazine and then it takes three seconds to meet I saw it so it is message 1 2 3 isn't it yeah all right I think grain to those the faster to us because that's uh I'm gonna steal some of your steel you're gonna steal the steel yep how dare you steal just how the world works if you need something just take it ah you must be a politician yeah it's true they do do that don't we it's just a little bit you know they they all discover something they're not allowed to then change the law so they can yeah must be really nice to be able to just go I want to do this but I can't so I'll just make the little bell yeah you know or but not necessarily about you know probably worse but most definitely worse but better in their in their view yeah for their purposes I mean you gotta remember the action box so kind of my venturi gertie yeah it is very useful I think I will actually go ahead organize my inventory bar a little bit oh yeah it's red flashing this time I don't like that me neither it's loaded him attacking the wall and part and I worried he didn't put his her ass up here I don't know maybe they're dead good reminds me of that old science fiction movie whatsit course rather killing sorry brother killing bugs the starship starship troopers that's a big one yeah that's the big one for the books yeah I guess it's the lead guy who says yes I agree I agree with that completely at the moment yeah me too we are really going on copper I mean it it's not like we're coming into their their homeworld and flew in their atmosphere and stealing their resources we think yeah we're bringing them something probably bring them East I suppose or someone yeah you find it funny that they go and attack the wall and completely you know there are just a couple of belts out there with stuck on them yeah now that we just want the wall we just want we want to get in now that is quite funny that's a bit more copper production going I need iron plates you don't have enough hot plate no I don't think we're producing enough and we're not getting enough iron up here I need my iron okay mmm I'll go do something about that soon that's okay oh yeah the belts aren't even remotely remotely saturated any anymore nope ah I see what's wrong dang it we're gonna fix that around or not we should fix it hmm man can't be bothered right now what's broken I haven't broken anything say but things are not aligned things are not aligned if you don't look at it a be fine yeah sure at least for a little while I've got so much wood on me a company bit needy 400 wood huh Wow every time I go through the forest to just chop down a tree in the way yes oh yeah oh I've got uses how much have I got I say use dietary the forest oh yes yeah 930 800 yeah yes that's the best a few and I'm getting my electric mining drills copper Scott why it's I don't think it's stopped it's just not going very fast did you grab some stuff off a belt yeah yeah there was a big gap day just lucky completely stock yeah I've been kind of stealing a lot of a lot of materials that's what you need what sir more what sorry you cut out for a second there more production yeah ah you stink all right next to each other no no yeah because I mean sure they overlap a bit on what they can on the resources you get more you get more throughput on them exactly yeah yeah yeah I don't know why I tend to either spread the magic and I could never be as efficient as possible don't meet let me prove it no not not in this case no in this case and what okay so we have have some ammo being made they were all right there Emily I think that is going to be a first turret - yep kompy's and mo congratulations turret very nice because that's what I had on me yeah but this is sort of guy to death moment cuz there's no wine coming through so yeah you know we definitely need a lot more iron then I can decide to do a bit more yeah you haven't been researching for a while there'll be happen yeah I don't know what okay would Vance better person that gives us the electric furnace in it not the electric one but the better one the better cold driven furnace as well ah right steel furnace yeah I think we're gonna have to wrap this one up here and being a really another time and I've spent the whole episode just building this little line of things here and you're on his hip it's working it is it is working it would be working for have resources but it is producing Sun yeah that's yeah ladies and it a bit more lots I think yeah lots and lots way more than we need we should actually probably run this down to just having two hundred stored up for something instead of six or seven hundred that would probably make sense here - yeah so bit so yeah that would bring this one to a close here so under attack just gonna deal with that yeah let's do that or turrets could deal with it and we're happy it's look it works it actually worked did it take some chunks out of the walsim maybe yeah all right okay so and yes thank you very much for watching I hope fun hopes you in in the next one and until then I shall say have fun thank you very much and see you guys	Nerdy Old

aCYzLr16p2Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCYzLr16p2Q	#Soul mind body science understanding your soul from the level of science	Aloha good morning good afternoon good evening my name is master Paul and I'm honored to be connecting with you here today I was just taking the last minute to prepare for this livestream with you it is what is today the 11th 12th and it is a Tuesday I'm actually connecting with you from master Sha's downing center here in Honolulu and today is unique in that I will be learning as much as you and the sharing is I'll be sharing from a book related to soul mind-body medicine now this is the book I know it's backwards in your screen there but I have no way to make it not backwards so it's called soul mind-body medicine and it's one of the more recent books by my teacher and my spiritual father Master sha there's also co-written by dr. and master rule in Shu and doctor in masculine Shu it's actually grown up here in Hawaii excuse me grew up in China but she spent a great deal of her time here in Hawaii so she's pretty much considered a native and that she's also a very well respected physicist and trained in Berkeley and as well as in China and she and Master sha co-wrote a book so mind-body medicine excuse me not so my body medicine so my own body science system and I'm going to do my best to present aspects of it today and do some practices with you to prepare you for some activities that are coming out of Honolulu this weekend today is Tuesday so Thursday there is a book signing Friday there is a complimentary free evening 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Hawaii time and so that's going to make it very easy for Australia and India to join it'll make it very easy for Europe and the UK to join but for those maybe California that's about 9 o'clock start time so that's not too bad but as we get over to the East Coast it could be a little bit late but it's complimentary evening and you'll have an opportunity to connect with master dr. master will ensue because she'll be coming out with a new book she has done this with Master sha they've just completed it and I won't reveal any of that information there because one I'm not familiar with it but two it hasn't been printed yet so this is a precursor to some of the things that she would reveal on the weekend workshop so for those who have always wanted to comprehend how how religion and science can shake hands and be friends together how can the concept of soul be defined in such a way where all those in the in the matter based world the science based world how can they justify it how can they validate it how can they touch it the see it feel it how can they verify that it's functional and it works Master sha and dr. weiland Xu have worked together to bring about the answers to those questions in this book and the newest book and so for a lot of people it's very very exciting it's very enlightening to be able to have very high wisdom brought to a humanity base level and then brought to a level where we can understand that those of us who don't have these kinds of backgrounds and you know Master sha I was with almost everything he does he just goes for because that's what he's told to do he works you know with heaven he works for heaven and they've explained to him that humanity needs to be woken up and a great deal of humanity has mind blockages that if I can't see it touch it feel it tasted it my five senses don't validate it then it must not be true and it's such a stagnant mindset but nevertheless it's it is the way it is and so I haven't explained to master sha that you must explain to humanity from scientific terms how soul works why karma is real how to to validate understand and comprehend the layers of soul and he heard this information actually years before he met dr. Master Wu Lin Shu he knew that this is one of his responsibilities too to be able to serve humanity and so he proceeded to do other books until such time as this student arrived and then he proceeded to awaken her awaken her soul journey educate her pushed her to very very very hard and strong levels opened her spiritual channels through very special blessings and then gave her very difficult tasks to do and accordingly her channel started opening up and according to her words but she'll here if you watch on the weekend show because her spiritual third eye was opened her channels open she had very high level scientists souls coming to her you know Duarte and and and and physicists you know what's what's his name the guy with the funny hair I don't know why I'm having a brain fart around this but I want to say I was isenheim er but you know I'm talking about anyway these Souls came to her and offered her wisdom to find the actual formula because everything in scientist formula based right that it has to math out it's not real unless you can math it out unless you can validate it with math this is limited thinking of the scientific world so her role was to prove with math that soul exists and she has accomplished that now how does she accomplish it she accomplished it with thank you Einstein such a simple answer I don't know why I couldn't figure that one out she accomplished it because master Shaw asked heaven she says master sha there's no formula for such a thing how do you validate soul and so master Joss kept in heaven can I please have a formula to give to to master rule in so she can go back to her desk and do the physics math around it and validate the formula so most people don't get the formula until after they do two years of legwork he gave her the formula first and she went back and proved it using every known form of physics and math today so it has been validated that sold is real and it's been validated by science and the next task was karma is karma real how do we validate that with science and that has been validated and that's the new book so I call you to this information because she'll be here in Honolulu this weekend she'll be here Thursday for book signing if you happen to be local Friday is a complimentary free mean go find this on the website go to our love peace harmony Facebook page for Honolulu Kristin we'll probably find a link and post it and you can register for these and then the weekend there's a small honor fee I don't really very small but you then you get the whole weekend of the wisdom and that's going to be your biggest aha moments so today we're going to be using some of the wisdom from her book that's been out for about a year and a half now called soul my body science system and I'll share with you whatever insights I can this stuff's a little bit of my pay grade but I'll do the best I can to serve you so let's acknowledge who's joined us Aloha and welcome Susan Aloha welcome Johnny Mambo

you live now Kane right thank you for joining yesterday and thank you for returning today okay I think and Julia says yes she's feeling much better thank you welcome Peggy Bear Whipple Aloha so yesterday Julia yesterday the subject matter was honesty and how to how to regain trust when when our hearts have been broken or when our trust has been betrayed so to speak rebuilding trust and there were many different variations of that and several of the folks including including Julia indicated that they had lost a very important person in their life and it breached their trust with God and so I derailed my wisdom and teachings a little bit and offered a soul guidance I was very blessed that some very high-level wisdom came through and hopefully that served more than that one person as usually it is intended to and then I was guided to offer a Crown Chakra blessing for releasing the grief and the sadness and the blame the blame to God it to rebuild the trust to rebuild the connection and so it was a huge blessing I actually got knocked down after that took me about a half hour to recover because it was such a big blessing so you're very blessed and this blessing is available for anybody if they have significant trust issues they'll be trade and they just can't seem to let it go can't seem to open their heart again to trust etc if you have those kinds of blockages let me know I do off of these crown chakra blessings there are only $100 very affordable so let's move into the teachings so the book I'm going to be working from it's called soul mind body

subscribe button you'll be notified most of the time depending on how Facebook is feeling when I go live so I'm going to offer a flow now I'm gonna ask Kevin to borrow my mouth and deliver a message related to the importance of this understanding okay understanding us online body science relation to your soul journey it's give me a moment Hey how this is the soul of the book called the soul mind body science system and my service has been dramatically underestimated the wisdom in me literally could serve billions there has been the highest wisdom brought to humanity on the subject of bagua which this one speaking on my behalf cannot alliterate since he does not have enough information there is wisdom on the seven chakras and the association of the bagua any relationship to the seven chakras or soul houses there is mantra healing mantra that if acted upon following the suggested guidance literally could align your heart and soul to the universes that are a part of the entirety of who and what you are the soul mind body science system was written was delivered through master sha through master lin in such a way that it would be beneficial to both those in the spiritual religious venues as well as those in the scientific community it has been written with both formula and with spiritual practice it has been written with thousands of years in the future in mind for this wisdom will literally impact thousands of years there it will be referred to as the go-to book in the understanding of soul and its relationship to the universe this sounds actually quite a mold and it may sound like I this book have an ego in fact I do not I am a soul who has come to serve and I am very well aware of the many many layers of wisdom that have been placed throughout each book each word each paragraph each mantra in each formula there has been placed in this book special calligraphy to serve you these calligraphies are amongst the highest ever brought to humanity and will serve to save lives in the future when people awaken to their power the awareness is less than point zero zero zero zero zero six percent at this time as to the power infused in these special Dao calligraphies humanity must know that everyone and everything has a soul they must move from the mind to the hearts and it is my intention and my purpose my mission on my soul's journey to awaken as many souls as possible to move them from mind over matter to soul over matter it has been my honor to explain the power and the significance of this wisdom at this time oh wow thank you thank you thank you well so it kind of gives you an idea of some of the wisdom in the book as as they said I don't really know how to explain it all that well because I have not read it in in a depth --fill way to be able to grasp it all that well the calligraphy that's referring to this is one of them it's probably backwards so what it says is s plus e plus M equals 1 and then the calligraphy down this column over here says shen shi jing uh yi and if you followed the the wisdom teachings from master sha Shan Shi Jing is actually not something I didn't know this I was actually researching it the other day shen shi jing i thought was something that master sha coined but in fact it's been out there long long long time in traditional Chinese medicine and Shen stands for soul she stands for energy Qi energy right and Jing is a word for matter and so the calligraphy down the side of that columnist and changing her yee-haaa means become one soul heart excuse me soul energy matter become one that is the formula s plus E Plus M equals 1 again I know it's backwards but it's s plus e plus M equals 1 at the beginning this I told you that when Master sha received the message that he had to write a book to to to bridge the religious and scientific gap to teach them soul so that so that there was no separation between them he received this information years before the physicist arrived when the physicist arrived the physicist had been trying to create what's called the grand unification theory and the grand unification theory to the best of my understanding the simple version of my understanding is it's the one piece of math that answers every question in all universes they had been working on that in modern physics and modern science since ever and no one has the answer every time they look deeper and how they find more and more confusions no one has the one answer that binds it all together and says okay we got it we figured it out we figured out the nature of the universe scientifically and so this physicist is no different than any other it's like the grand pooh-bah you know it's like it's like if you can get that answer you are it because no one's ever found it when math shots Kevin okay can I have the formula the math for the grand unification theory they said s plus e plus M equals 1 he understood as I'm explaining to you that s equals Sol but it also means soul heart mind Shen his soul heart and mind and then s plus e E is energy and this matter so from a purely scientific perspective if they looked at everything under a microscope and this is this is just truth ok you can validate this anywhere in any with anybody that's in the scientific field everything from their perspective is made up of energy and matter everything you can take a piece of plastic put it under microscope take you put it under microscope everything is made up of energy and matter just smaller smaller versions of it they keep inventing a new microscope therefore they see smaller and smaller versions of energy and matter and so so everybody knows that energy and matter is what makes up everything what they don't know in the math equation is what puts it all together so S which is soul heart and mind plus energy plus matter equals the oneness that's what has is the grand unification theory it's a master sha spoke this theory out not knowing anything in physics because this is what haven't told him to dr. Masaru Lin and she said no no no no no that's not it that can't no no no no no no he said look this is what heaven said you go do your homework you go see if the math works on it and it took her about a year and a half to two years before crunched all the numbers crunched on the math and came back and said you were right heaven was right I can validate it out with math s plus e plus M equals 1 now that doesn't mean that everyone's on board that doesn't mean that religions and science just say ok cool you know kumbaya everybody let's you know it's burn marshmallows in the fireplace we figured out the theory of all theories no everyone's got their ego everyone's got their block because everyone's got their perspectives and they're going to argue for probably another hundred years before they all get on board what does that have to do with health and wellness and what does it have to do with you even being here today and not being bored by this kind of conversation everything because soul and karma and clearing those blockages is what Master sha has taught from the beginning it's what I've taught from the beginning it's what brings people back by droves because they get results it's the one thing that we speak about and then blessings are offered or practices are done results consistently occur if results are consistently occurring then it must be working what this is about is understanding why it works because people need to understand why it works it's not just what you know okay I know it worked that's great I'm grateful if people haven't need to understand why or they just refuse to accept it people don't believe angels because they can't see it therefore they refuse to accept it there generally speaking were limited by our five senses and that's very sad but it's also very true so today we're going to be working with one of the practices the master sha has brought to us to assist us with opening our heart more when Master sha writes his books he's written 21 now 11 of which are New York Times bestsellers and those 21 I believe yeah I'm not sure on the silent state it but what I'm sure about is this next statement he doesn't write them he receives them no different than he received the formula he is here he's serving humanity he's unconditional I don't know three four hours a night sleep whatever it is the rest of time he's out helping people healing people serving people but he's told sometimes you just have to write a book so he calls master yeah who's his right-hand person and she sits down in front of the computer and he says okay heaven I'm ready give me the information and they download the information and he speaks it out the the information that comes through these books are astounding that words that come through the order they come to in the the wisdom the practices the connectivity from chapter 1 to chapter 5 and I guess the chapter 5 a week and a half in he's not reading and looking what it said he just says and he's speaking it out and he says and in Chapter one we spoke about this because it's just flowing through heaven is borrowing his mouth the books are written in approximately one to two weeks the the when he was writing him at a brisk pace the book sellers they were like this is just not possible we never seen anybody that writes more than two books in a year let alone four how does anybody accomplish this but you know that's what that's what happens so the wisdom is not human based wisdom it is wisdom that heaven is broad because we are in very special times in which we are Awakening and the awakening requires those with thick skulls and those with negative mindsets attitudes and beliefs or stuck mindsets attitudes and beliefs to crack open and that's only gonna happen when there's validation and it's only gonna happen when they do the practices are going to do next okay so let me find the area that I had outlined here i think i dog-eared it okay so this is called a ba gua practice ba gua i don't even know enough about it to speak to you intelligently but i can tell you a little bit it is an ancient chinese structure that has eight formulas or eight sides to it each one of them represent aspects of all life including earth wind Thunder fire and various other ones and each one of them has an association to the human body Master sha understood concepts of this from a very small and generalized sense but in terms of understanding the inner actual interconnectivity of the bagua and the ancient teachings to the seven chakras there was not much wisdom there written about or in any other form and so when he received it not only did he receive it in flow he received which section of the bagua was associated with whis chakra and why and then when somebody chance with that bagua and that chakra using the mantras gifted to him then they would receive a far superior purification of that chakra thereby clearing out the karma in the body making it a more clear vessel to to reconnect to heaven and to reconnect to source so this is on page 122 of this book soul mind body science system and I will read it bagua practice for the heart chakra or fourth soul house message center and master Sha's teachings and the sound powerful is called Li ho Li Li hua hua Li hua Mandarin Chinese so the body power everybody sit up straight put one palm of the bottom of your lower abdomen so another word rest your knuckle in your bellybutton and rest your palm over your lower abdomen place your other palm over your fourth energy chakra or your forceful house the heart center okay center of your palm over the center of your chest and leave space there always leave space the message center is also near the heart than in traditional Chinese medicine it is the authority organ of the five elements soul power for those that are new soul power is everything in all universes has a soul because creator created everything therefore we communicate with everything just like we would a human being so soul power we say hello to the inner soles first so with your eyes closed with one palm over your lower abdomen one palm over your heart center please repeat after me dear soul mind and body of my heart chakra or fourth soul house I love you I honor you I appreciate you you are vital for my heart and message center you are the one key for purity you are the key for intelligence you are the key to transform the heart and consciousness you are the vital chakras and so house for love forgiveness compassion light humility harmony and more you are the key to heal the emotional body and mental body you are the key to enlighten the soul heart mind and body you are the key to self clear soul mind body blockages I cannot appreciate you enough for your vital role that you play in my life please purify yourself develop your self transform yourself enlighten yourself thank you so that's saying hello to the inner soles now we say hello to the outer soles please

you so Thank You Susan mantra we will be connected at the level of soul what we do we connected to the heart chakra we connected to heaven we ask them to service we connected to the soul the fire of humans I solve the fire of Mother Earth we connected to the soul of the fire of heaven we asked the fire element in each of them to come to our heart center to service so when we offer our gratitude why would we not offer gratitude to those same Souls for their service every soul's purpose is to serve this is a one-sentence secret master sha brings to us these souls are serving us they are elevating our frequencies they are literally using their higher frequency fire heavens fire mother earth fire far higher than our fire and we've invited that salt to come to purify our hearts Center to clear the blockages truly remarkable wisdom that heaven has brought through a master sha to this book soul my body science so that we can further develop our understanding of the nature of humans Mother Earth and heaven in relationship to our soul who wouldn't want to understand that at a little bit higher level right because we all and when I say all I do mean all humans when we come in we're instantly searching from the minute we come out of that womb or how do we get back because I sure liked it a lot more over there but for most of us it hasn't been a very pleasant experience so it needs to be something where we have some food to chew on for our greater understandings that's why I love master Sha's wisdom because he brings mantra he brings you know sung how beautiful is that to offer a wisdom and teaching but more importantly the blessings that that come to us through these through these mantras are extraordinary remember he makes no claim as to the any of the miracle healings that have occurred makes no claim to any of the wisdom that comes through the books he makes no claim to the to the millions of people that line up and say you know I am better now and I wasn't before he states clearly that it's all heaven that has brought the wisdom to serve people so when we apply it we get the results we don't apply it we don't get the results very very simple and so if you want to know if a pair of sweet do it this is only a few minutes I know it doesn't feel long enough but we have to you know stay within our timeframe as well in this live stream or I do I choose to to serve you so for those that came in a little late one of the reasons I'm talking about this on my body science system is that the author co-author dr. Masaru Lin Shu who wrote this with Master sha is teaching this in Honolulu Friday Saturday and Sunday and it's a complimentary evening Friday 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Hawaii time which is gonna be about about 9:30 in the morning in India that would make it about 6:00 in the morning in Australia and it's gonna be 6 a.m. in Europe it's gonna be 7 a.m. in the UK maybe earlier than that 5 a.m. in the UK excuse me and it's gonna be about 9 p.m. in Hawaii but no not bad that's a Friday evening that's a free evening I think Kristin already put the link here but you can go to dr. sha calm and and find it there or through our Facebook page but then the weekend she's off an entire weekend teaching now she was in Hawaii and Maui prior to coming to Oahu this week and rave reviews people coming out of the Woodworks they came on the first night and they were dragging their friends down for the weekend they're like you gotta hear this is amazing and I heard that she offered two different days of two different teachings I don't know what she's gonna do here but somebody said that one of the days was all about the connection of the heart and the heart center and the interconnectivity of heaven dial earth humans and our heart center with practice and languages you can understand and then the other one was a little more scientific and that's what I heard also if any of you have followed master Sha's wisdom and teachings for a while one of the unique features is that she is the only one besides Master sha that as a master teacher has some very unique blessings to offer one of them the Shepherd last year which I hope she offers again I'm gonna ask her is literally a gen dawn for removing negativity who who would want a Jin Don for removing negativity right this is extraordinary so really really powerful opportunity so I hope you come to it I'm excited we haven't seen her here in three years maybe more than that and I'm kind of excited about it if you couldn't tell so I hope you can join for those that that did come to the cancer workshop I offered thank you I truly appreciate that I have completed the presentation it's now ready for viewing I did create an entire structure around it for people you know that have significant cancer issues or are being faced with that as a possibility I've developed three programs to assist them a self-help program that's quite quite lengthy and then there's a a budget program which is as relatively reasonable it includes a lot of blessings and then there's the kitchen sink version which is you know of course I'm always gonna be careful with money but it's not a big problem in my world let me throw everything I can add it and get the upper hand on this the entire teachings is literally about understanding the spiritual root cause but brings this condition to our lives and how we can uproot those roots by uprooting those roots and whatever else you are doing at the physical body level will have a dramatically stronger impact no question about it and the honor if it's a watch it's only 20 bucks so it's very reasonable for the three and a half for our full presentation okay and so thank you Kristin for posting that link for anybody that would like to to register you go to my website and register through there so thank you for sharing thank you for joining we will see you tomorrow same time same place same bat-channel love you love you love you thank you thank you thank you see you mañana bye bye everybody	Paul Fletcher	UCE8CeEXItPkw6AhKC6FK0Rw	2018-04-30	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	6,070	32,123

bdkq82jvSf4	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdkq82jvSf4	Using the Canon EOS R for My First Food Photography Experience at Journeyman's Food & Drink	in this video we're gonna explore food photography and my first attempt to go to a restaurant a really awesome restaurant nearby to take some food photography you're a beautiful person you're a good person if no one has told you that today let me be the first one to tell you and I've been inspired this year by a couple of chefs I've met chef Zack gearson works at citizens kitchen in hotel Fullerton and runs his own restaurant next door journeyman food and drink and I've also met chef Dineen Greene and she's a private chef to celebrities and travels the world preparing meals for people and so I heard her give a talk at creativemornings Orange County and I've just been inspired by her approach to following her passion so my hats off to them follow them on Instagram good people to fall if you're into culinary arts and also I want to give a shout out and highly recommend the bite shot on YouTube I benched on her videos all week before I went to take photos at chef Zack Geer cents restaurant and he came here on our anniversary and I talked to the chef and asked if I practice some photography so I'm eager to learn on the job as it were and share some tips for food photography with you all right let's go [Music] today I try my hand at food photography alright so when I was inside the kitchen I had access to two lines the journeyman line and the citizens kitchen line and I kind of was positioned in this place where I was able to see to the left and to the right two different lines so there was always something coming at me it was really almost like being a sports photographer just a lot of fast-paced action and you can see the dish come at you as it was getting prepared so I we kind of line up my approach and as it was made more and more ready hopefully by the final moment when the dish was prepared I would have my exposure dialed in I'd have my lighting ideas I'd have my angle ideas and so that kept me on my toes so I didn't take a lot of photos of the people who are doing the prep work I didn't really ask express permission to do that so I focused on the food because I didn't have the luxury of a traditional photo shoot I didn't have the food set aside in a pristine environment and all the lights that I wanted I was working in their work environment and so I came away with some tips and really relates not just a food photography but taking portraits or taking photos in a working environment and so I want to share some of those with you know your environment in terms of light and be prepared with artificial light I took my go dogs v8 60 flash and I have this pancake diffuser and so this allowed me pretty nimbly to get into small places such as kind of the the place where they serve it up to the servers and it was kind of like a heat lamp area while I sit there for a second so I could get this in there this diffuser was pretty nimble and allowed me to get into pretty tight spaces and it gave a pretty soft lighting result much more so than the artificial just a harsh flash without this artificial light my pictures would have suffered greatly so the artificial light I knew ahead of time we have fluorescent lights and it's a kitchen it's a working environment I'm not gonna have the the beautiful natural light from the outside there's no windows and so I had to know my environment and bring the artificial light so that also means I had to be prepared with the trigger and so this is my my t5i I have the trigger on here just for a sample but so the trigger saying the signal to this and I just held this in my left hand and this actually worked great very nimble and lightweight and I was being able to get in and out and move around so that was a great setup so know your environment spatially so be prepared to move in and out and get the the right composition of the shot but also be prepared to do that quickly and not trip over objects or furniture or back into people actually chef Zach garrison he said you know if you come around a corner say corner if you're going behind somebody say behind so people have a heads up and then know your equipment know what's gonna get you the best results I didn't have the luxury of changing lenses all the time so I stuck with my 35 millimeter of RF lens and that allowed me most of the angles that I wanted most of the time I did switch to the 10 to 18 a little bit I tried the 85 millimeter and what I found is that 85 is a beast of a lens meaning it's heavy and so when I was trying to get overhead shots and have the flash I was I was really limited really limited my ability to sustain the weight of that lens and work in the environment that I wanted I did have an office space where I could tuck some gear and so I worked with that and ran back there are a couple times to make some swaps of lenses and lights I do have a tip specifically for food photography and it relates to what Matthew Jordan Smith calls every image has a hero or every image needs a hero and that is if you are taking a picture of a salmon dish you know you have to get the exposure right on that salmon meat you need the distinct pink of that salmon color to pop that's what you're thinking about in terms of composition in focus in terms of exposure but let's say you have a salad and the salad has a variety of agreements or like I I shot a bowl that had shrimp and it had some nuts and had some other ingredients but the diversity of ingredients in the dish and the fact that it wasn't clear because of the brown sauce that the shrimp were the main players I had to kind of decide and it was more subjective than a human portrait that's what I found is because with a human portrait we know the focal point is the eyes if are sharp and clear that leads us into the mood the emotion in the tone of the whole photograph the whole story we're telling but in food photography there's a lot more ingredients and there's not necessarily going to be a dominant subject so you have to interpret that and you have to decide ahead of time so that gives you a couple of kind of thoughts going into this know the ingredients ask the chef know what's being prepared that day so we had this dish we're taking picture of salmon and I saw sprinkled around it these brightly colored bits of what I thought were a he tuna when we went back to the restaurant the next night and my wife ordered that I actually found out there grapefruit and so that's important to know the ingredients know what they are in terms of composition and whether they play a main role in the story of the photo but also in color grading that's super important as well so for example there was a dessert and so this dessert was sort of like a chocolate mousse a chocolate dessert but they didn't had some fine details on it and I chose to make those the hero of the image there's some orange curlicues on the top and chef you could probably give me the right language for that and also some tiny tiny flower blossoms on the top of that so I figured that the chocolate nature of the dessert was a given it was understood I could use depth of field and kind of blur that out and draw attention with focus and exposure to the orange curlicues and the the tiny blossoms and I actually tried a variety is a very beautiful dessert and I tried a variety of lighting arrangements and compositions to try to capture the unique nature of this dish so in summary I just want to say express thank you to the people are out there inspiring us with the great food photography I highly recommend following Anne Watson photography on Instagram when I moved to Orange County I started following her and I've been following her journey for years and I went back this week and took a look at some of her food photography photos and they're absolutely inspirational so you have to follow her if you're into the food photography scene he and Watson photography I want to thank the bike shot I want to thank chef Zach gearson and chef Jeanine Greene follow that was really enjoyable I want to go back do it again I have some more thoughts about how to use depth of field I think that was one area I can improve on is my depth of field I wasn't necessarily locked in on what the hero of that image was because I was shooting with a shallow depth of field so I'd probably make that depth of field a little more broad and try to get everything more crisp and then use the composition to tell an interesting story so those are just some thoughts reflecting back on this experience which was a great great experience as always like and subscribe click those links below and give me a thumbs up ring the bell when you subscribe so you get notifications I would love to go on this journey with you and hear your questions and your experiences with photography thanks

atomic number elements that occur naturally in its purest form it is a bright slightly reddish yellow dense soft malleable and ductile metal chemically gold as a transition metal and a group 11 element it is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions gold often occurs in free elemental made of form as nuggets or grains in rocks in veins and in alluvial deposits it occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver as electrum and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium less commonly it occurs in minerals as Gold compounds often with tellurium gold Telluride Gold is resistant to most acids though it does dissolve in aqua regia a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid which forms a soluble tetra chloro rate anion gold is insoluble in nitric acid which dissolves silver and base metals a property that has long been used to refine gold and to confirm the presence of gold in metallic objects giving rise to the term acid test gold also dissolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide which are used in mining and electroplating gold dissolves in mercury forming amalgam alloys but this is not a chemical reaction a relatively rare element gold is a precious metal that has been used for coinage jewelry and other arts throughout recorded history in the past a gold standard was often implemented as a monetary policy but gold coins ceased to be minted as a circulating currency in the 1930s and the world gold standard was abandoned for a fiat currency system after 1971 a total of 186 thousand seven hundred tons of gold exists above-ground as of 2015 the world consumption of new gold produced as about 50% in jewelry 40% in investments and 10% in industry Gold's high malleability ductility resistance to corrosion and most other chemical reactions and conductivity of electricity have led to its continued use in corrosion resistant electrical connectors in all types of computerized devices it's chief industrial Gold is also used in infrared shielding colored glass production gold leafing and to Thresh duration certain gold salts are still used as anti-inflammatories in medicine as of 2016 the world's largest gold producer by far was China with 450 tons per year topic characteristics Gold is the most malleable of all metals a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of one square meter and an average of poised ounce into 300 square feet gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become semi-transparent the transmitted light appears greenish blue because gold strongly reflects yellow and red such semi-transparent cheeps also strongly reflect infrared light making them useful as infrared radiant heat shields advisors of heat-resistant suits and in Sun visors for spacesuits gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity gold has a density of 19.3 grams per cc almost identical to that of tungsten at nineteen point two five grams per cc as such tungsten has been used in counterfeiting of gold bars such as by plating a tungsten bar with gold or taking an existing gold bar drilling holes and replacing the removed gold with tungsten rods by comparison the density of lead as eleven point three four grams per cc and that of the densest element osmium is twenty-two point five eight eight plus or minus 0.015 grams per cc topic color whereas most metals are gray or silvery white gold is slightly reddish yellow this color is determined by the frequency of plasma oscillations among the metals valence electrons in the ultraviolet range for most metals but in the visible range for gold due to relativistic effects affecting the orbitals around gold atoms similar effects impart a golden hue to metallic caesium common colored gold alloys include the distinctive eighteen karat rose gold created by the addition of copper alloys containing palladium or nickel are also important in commercial jewelry as these produce white gold alloys 14-karat gold copper alloy is nearly identical in color to certain bronze alloys and both may be used to produce police and other badges white gold alloys can be made with palladium or nickel 14 and 18 karat gold alloys with silver alone a pure greenish yellow and are referred to as green gold blue gold can be made by alloying with iron and purple gold can be made by alloying with aluminium less commonly addition of manganese aluminium indium and other elements can produce more unusual colors of gold for various applications colloidal gold used by electron microscopist s-- is red if the particles are small larger particles of colloidal gold or blue topic isotopes Gold has only one stable isotope 197 Oh which is also it's only naturally occurring isotope so gold is both a mono nucleic and mono isotopic element 36 radioisotopes have been synthesized ranging in atomic mass from 169 to 205 the most stable of these is 195 O with a half-life of 186 point one days the least stable is 171 au which decays by proton emission with a half-life of 30 microseconds most of gold's Radio isotopes with atomic masses below 197 decay by some combination of proton emission alpha decay and beta plus decay the exceptions are 195 au which decays by electron capture and 196 au which decays most often by electron capture 93% with a minor beta minus decay path 7% all of Gold's Radio isotopes with atomic masses above 197 decay by beta minus decay at least 32 nuclear isomers have also been characterized ranging in atomic mass from 170 to 200 within that range only 178 o 180 o 181 o 182 oh and 188 O do not have isomers Gold's most stable isomer as 198 square meters o with a half-life of two point two seven days Gold's least stable isomer as 177 square meters o with a half-life of only seven nanoseconds 184 meters one o has three decay paths beta plus decay isomeric transition and alpha decay no other isomer or isotope of gold has three decay paths topic synthesis the production of gold from a more common element such as lead has long been a subject of human inquiry and the ancient and medieval discipline of alchemy often focused on it however the transmutation of the chemical elements did not become possible until the understanding of nuclear physics in the 20th century the first synthesis of gold was conducted by Japanese physicist hantaro nagaoka who synthesized gold from mercury in 1924 by neutron bombardment an American team working without knowledge of nagaoka's prior study conducted the same experiment in 1941 achieving the same result and showing that the isotopes of gold produced by it were all radioactive gold can currently be manufactured in a nuclear reactor by irradiation either of platinum or mercury only the mercury isotope 196 hg which occurs with a frequency of 0.15 percent in natural mercury can be converted to gold by neutron capture and following electron capture decay into 197 O with slow neutrons other mercury isotopes are converted when irradiated with slow neutrons into one another or formed mercury isotopes which beta decay into thallium using fast neutrons the mercury isotope 198 Hg which composes 9.9 7% of natural mercury can be converted by splitting off a neutron and becoming 197 Hg which then disintegrates two stable gold this reaction however possesses a smaller activation cross-section and is feasible only with unmoderated reactors it is also possible to eject several neutrons with very high energy into the other mercury isotopes in order to form 197 Hg however such high-energy neutrons can be produced only by particle accelerators topic chemistry although gold is the most noble of the noble metals it still forms many diverse compounds the oxidation state of gold in its compounds ranges from minus one to plus five but gold one iodide in O three dominate its chemistry gold one iodide referred to as the Auris ion is the most common oxidation state with soft ligands such as thioethers theology and tertiary phosphenes gold one iodide compounds are typically linear a good example is gold to cyanide - which is the soluble form of gold encountered in mining the binary gold halides such as gold one chloride form zigzag polymeric chains again featuring linear coordination at up most drugs based on gold are gold one iodide derivatives o three auric is a common oxidation state and is illustrated by gold 3 chloride Gold 3 chloride the gold atoms centers in o3 complexes like other d8 compounds are typically square planar with chemical bonds that have both covalent and ionic character Gold does not react with oxygen at any temperature and up to 100 degrees Celsius is resistant to attack from ozone some free halogens react with gold gold is strongly attacked by fluorine a dull red heat to form gold 3 fluoride powdered gold reacts with chlorine at 180 degrees Celsius to form gold 3 chloride Gold reacts with bromine at 140 degrees Celsius to form gold 3 bromide but reacts only very slowly with iodine to form the mono iodide Gold does not react with sulphur directly but gold 3 sulfide can be made by passing hydrogen sulfide through a dilute solution of gold 3 chloride or chloric acid gold readily dissolves in mercury at room temperature to form an amalgam and forms alloys with many other metals at higher temperatures these alloys can be produced to modify the hardness and other metallurgical properties to control melting point or to create exotic colors gold is unaffected by most acids it does not react with hydrofluoric hydrochloric hydrobromic Hydra Adak sulfuric or nitric acid it does react with 'selenic acid and is dissolved by aqua regia a 1-2-3 mixture of nitro acid and hydrochloric acid nitric acid oxidizes the metal to +3 ions but only in minute amounts typically undetectable in the pure acid because of the chemical equilibrium of the reaction however the ions are removed from the equilibrium by hydrochloric acid forming gold for chloride minus ions or chloroauric acid thereby enabling further oxidation Gold is similarly unaffected by most bases it does not react with aqueous solid or molten sodium or potassium hydroxide it does however react with sodium or potassium cyanide under alkaline conditions when oxygen is present to form soluble complexes common oxidation states of gold include +1 gold I or Ora's compounds and +3 gold 3 or auric compounds gold ions in solution are readily reduced and precipitated as metal by adding any other metal as the reducing agent the added metal is oxidized and dissolves allowing the gold to be displaced from solution and be recovered as a solid precipitate topic rare oxidation states less common oxidation states of gold include minus one plus two and plus five the minus 1 oxidation state occurs in or ''tis compounds containing the o- anion cesium or I'd CSA you for example crystallizes in the caesium chloride motif rubidium potassium and tetra methyl ammonium or DS are also known gold has the highest electron affinity of any metal at 222 point eight kilo joules per mole making o - a stable species gold two compounds are usually diamagnetic with oo bonds such as o CH 2 2p c 6 h 5 - 2 CL 2 the evaporation of a solution of gold 3 hydroxide in concentrated h2 so4 produces red crystals of gold - sulfate gold - sulfate originally thought to be a mixed valence compound it has been shown to contain o 4 +2 cations analogous to the better known mercury III on hg 2 +2 a gold 2 complex the tetrax n a no gold - cation which contains xenon as a ligand occurs in oxy for 2 gold pentafluoride along with its derivative anion Alf - 6 and it's dye floor and complex gold hepta fluoride is the sole example of gold v the highest verified oxidation state some gold compounds exhibit Oro philic bonding which describes the tendency of gold ions to interact at distances that are too long to be a conventional OO bond but shorter than van der Waals bonding the interaction is estimated to be comparable in strength to that of the hydrogen bond well-defined cluster compounds are numerous in such cases gold has a fractional oxidation state a representative example is the octahedral species opie c6h5 362 plus Gold chalcogenides such as gold sulfide feature equal amounts of gold one iodide in O 3 topic medicinal uses medicinal applications of gold in its complexes have a long history dating back thousands of years several gold complexes have been applied to treat rheumatoid arthritis the most frequently used are RA Theo malate ara Theo glucose and on ofin both gold I and gold three compounds have been have been investigated as possible anti-cancer drugs for gold three complexes reduction to gold zero i under physiological conditions has to be considered stable complexes can be generated using different types of by try and tetradentate ligand systems and their high efficacy has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo topic origins you topic Earth's mantle origins in 2017 an international group of scientists including Jose Maria Gonzales Jimenez and Ramon y : in cooperation with the University of Granada and other universities while researching the origins of gold historically established that it came to the Earth's surface from the deepest regions of our planet Earth's mantle evidenced by their findings at deseado Massif in the Argentinian Patagonia topic celestial origin theories Gold is thought to have been produced in supernova nucleosynthesis and from the collision of neutron stars and to have been present in the dust from which the solar system formed because the earth was molten when it was formed almost all of the gold present in the early Earth probably sank into the planetary core therefore most of the gold that is in the Earth's crust and mantle is thought to have been delivered to earth later by asteroid impacts during the late heavy bombardment about four billion years ago traditionally gold is thought to have formed by the r-process rapid neutron capture in supernova nucleosynthesis but more recently it has been suggested that gold and other elements heavier than iron may also be produced in quantity by the art process in the collision of neutron stars in both cases satellite spectrometers only indirectly detected the resulting gold we have no spectroscopic evidence that such elements have truly been produced wrote author Stephon Ross however in August 2017 the signatures of heavy elements including gold were observed by gravitational wave detectors and other electromagnetic observatories in the gw1 7:08 1-7 neutron star merger event current Astrophysical models suggest that single neutron star merger event generated between 3 and 13 Earth masses of gold the asteroid that formed Retta 4 crater 2.0 2-0 billion years ago is often credited with seeding the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa with the richest gold deposits on earth however the gold bearing Witwatersrand rocks were laid down between 700 and 950 million years before the RET afford impact these gold bearing rocks had furthermore been covered by a thick layer of Venters dorp alas in the Transvaal supergroup of rocks before the meteor struck what the RET afford impact achieved however was to distort the Witwatersrand Basin in such a way that the gold-bearing rocks were brought to the present erosion surface in Johannesburg on the Witwatersrand just inside the rim of the original 300 kilometers diameter crater caused by the meteor strike the discovery of the deposit in 1886 launched the Witwatersrand gold rush some 22 percent of all the gold that is ascertained to exist today on earth has been extracted from these Twitter's rand rocks topic occurrence on earth gold is found in ores in rock formed from the Precambrian time onward it most often occurs as a native metal typically in a metal solid solution with silver ie as a gold silver alloy such alloys usually have a silver content of 8 to 10% electrum as elemental gold with more than 20 percent silver electrum's color runs from gold and silver II to silvery dependent upon the silver content the more silver the lower the specific gravity native gold occurs is very small to microscopic particles embedded in rock often together with quartz or sulfide minerals such as fool's gold which is a pyrite these are called lode deposits the metal in a native state is also found in the form of free flakes grains or larger nuggets that have been eroded from rocks and end up in alluvial deposits called placer deposits such free gold is always richer at the surface of gold bearing veins owing to the oxidation of accompanying minerals followed by weathering and washing of the dust into streams and rivers where it collects and can be welded by water action to form Nuggets gold sometimes occurs combined with tellurium as the minerals caliber Ike Crenna right negiah guide pet site and silver night see Telluride minerals and as the rare

and why should I Oh AG 3hg two recent research suggests that microbes can sometimes play an important role in forming gold deposits transporting and precipitating gold to form grains and nuggets that collect in alluvial deposits another recent study has claimed water in faults vaporizers during an earthquake depositing gold when an earthquake strikes it moves along a fault water often lubricates faults filling and fractures and jogs about six miles ten kilometers below the surface under incredible temperatures and pressures the water carries high concentrations of carbon dioxide silica and gold during an earthquake The Fault jog suddenly opens wider the water inside the void instantly vaporizes flash to steam enforcing silica which forms the mineral quartz and gold out of the fluids and unto nearby surfaces topic see water the world's oceans contain gold measured concentrations of gold in the Atlantic in Northeast Pacific are 50 to 150 femtomole lr10 to 30 parts per quadrillion about 10 to 30 grams per cubic kilometer in general gold concentrations for South Atlantic and Central Pacific samples are the same approximately 50 femtomole el but less certain mediterranean deep waters contains slightly higher concentrations of gold 100 to 150 femtomole el attributed to windblown dust and/or rivers at 10 parts per quadrillion the Earth's oceans would hold 15,000 tons of gold these figures are 3 orders of magnitude less than reported in the literature prior to 1988 indicating contamination problems with the earlier data a number of people have claimed to be able to economically recover gold from seawater but they were either mistaken or acted in an intentional deception Prescott Jernigan ran a gold from seawater swindle in the United States in the 1890s as did an English fraudster in the early 1900s Fritz Haber did research on the extraction of gold from seawater in an effort to help pay Germany's reparations following World War one based on the published values of 2 to 64 ppb of gold in seawater a commercially successful extraction seemed possible after analysis of 4,000 water samples yielding an average of 0.004 ppb it became clear that extraction would not be possible and he stopped the project topic history as of 1990 gold artifacts found at the Nahal qan a cave cemetary of the 4th millennium BC were the earliest from the Levant gold artifacts in the Balkans also appear from the 4th millennium BC such as those found in the Varna necropolis near Lake Varna in Bulgaria thought by one source Lenise 2009 to be the earliest well dated find of gold artifacts gold artifacts such as the golden hats in the Nebra disc appeared in Central Europe from the second millennium BC Bronze Age the oldest known map of a gold mine was drawn in the 19th dynasty of ancient Egypt 1320 to 1200 BC whereas the first written reference to gold was recorded in the 12th dynasty around 1900 BC Egyptian hieroglyphs from as early as 2600 BC described gold which King Tushratta of the Mitanni claimed was more plentiful than dirt in Egypt Egypt and especially Nubia had the resources to make the major gold producing areas for much of history one of the earliest known maps known as the tern papyrus map shows the plan of a gold mine in Nubia together with indications of the local geology the primitive working methods are described by both Strabo and Diodorus Siculus an included fire setting large mines were also present across the Red Sea in what is now Saudi Arabia gold is mentioned in the Amarna letters numbered 19 and 26 from around the fourteenth century BC gold is mentioned frequently in the Old Testament starting with Genesis chapter 2 verse 11 at Havilah the story of the Golden Calf in many parts of the temple including the menorah and the golden altar in the New Testament it is included with the gifts of the Magi in the first chapters of matthew the book of revelation chapter 21 verse 21 describes the city of new jerusalem as having streets made of pure gold clear as crystal exploitation of gold in the southeast corner of the Black Sea has said to date from the time of Midas and this gold was important in the establishment of what is probably the world's earliest coinage in Lydia around 610 BC the legend of the golden fleece dating from eighth century BCE may refer to the use of fleeces to trap gold dust from placer deposit in the ancient world from the 6th or 5th century BC the Chu state circulated the yin yuan one kind of square gold coin in Roman metallurgy new methods for extracting gold on a large scale were developed by introducing hydraulic mining methods especially in Hispania from 25 BC onwards and in Dacia from 106 AD onwards one of their largest mines was Atlas medulla Xin Lian where 7 long aqueducts enabled them to sluice most of a large alluvial deposit the mines at Rosia Montana in Transylvania were also very large and until very recently still mind by opencast methods they also exploited smaller deposits in Britain such as placer and hard rock deposits at dolaucothi the various methods they used are well described by Pliny the Elder in his encyclopedia Naturalis historia written towards the end of the 1st century AD during Mansa Musa's ruler of the Mali Empire from 13 12 to 13 37 Hajj to Mecca in 1320 for he passed through Cairo in July 13 24 and was reportedly accompanied by a camel train that included thousands of people and nearly a hundred camels where he gave away so much gold that it depressed the price in Egypt for over a decade causing high inflation a contemporary arab historian remarked gold was at a high price in egypt until they came in that year the myth call did not go below 25 dear homes and was generally above but from that time its value fell and it cheapened in price and has remained cheap till now the myth call does not exceed 22 dear homes or less this has been the state of affairs for about 12 years until this day by reason of the large amount of gold which they brought into Egypt and spent there the European exploration of the Americas was fuelled in no small part by reports of the gold ornaments displayed in great profusion by Native American peoples especially in Mesoamerica Peru Ecuador in Colombia the Aztecs regarded gold is the product of the Gods calling it literally God excrement Teal'c atlatl in nahuatl and after Montezuma - was killed most of this gold was shipped to Spain however for the indigenous peoples of North America gold was considered useless and they saw much greater value in other minerals which were directly related to their utility such as obsidian Flint and slate rumors of cities filled with gold fueled legends of Eldorado gold played a role in Western culture as a cause for desire and of corruption as told in children's fables such as Rumpelstiltskin where Rumplestiltskin turns hay into gold for the peasants daughter in return for her child when she becomes a princess and the stealing of the hen that lays golden eggs in Jack and the Beanstalk the top prize at the Olympic Games and many other sports competitions as the gold medal 75 percent of the presently accounted for gold has been extracted since 1910 it has been estimated that the currently known amount of gold internationally would form a single cube 20 metres 66 feet on a side equivalent to eight thousand cubic meters one main goal of the alchemists was to produce gold from other substances such as lead presumably by the interaction with a mythical substance called the Philosopher's Stone although they never succeeded in this attempt the alchemists did promote an interest in systematically finding out what can be done with substances and this laid the foundation for today's chemistry their symbol for gold was the circle with a point at its centre which was also the astrological symbol and the ancient Chinese character for the Sun golden treasures have been rumoured to be found at various locations following tragedies such as the Jewish temple treasures in the Vatican following the temples destruction in 70 AD a gold stash on the Titanic the Nazi gold train following World War Two the Dome of the rock is covered with an ultra thin golden glassier the Sikh golden temple the Harmandir Sahib is a building covered with gold similarly the wat phra kaew emerald buddhist temple wat in thailand has ornamental gold-leafed statues and roofs some European King and queens crowns were made of gold and gold was used for the bridal crown since antiquity an ancient Talmudic text circa 100 AD describes Rachel wife of Rabbi Akiva receiving a Jerusalem of gold diadem a Greek burial crown made of gold was found in a grave circa 370 BC you topic etymology Gold is cognate with similar words in many Germanic languages deriving via proto-germanic asterisk gula from proto-indo-european asterisk elh to shine to gleam to be yellow or green the symbol o is from the Latin Orem the Latin word for gold the proto-indo-european ancestor of Orem was asterisk H II acute HS o meaning glow this word is derived from the same root proto-indo-european asterisk H us to Don as asterisk HF shows the ancestor of the Latin word aurora Don this etymological relationship is presumably behind the frequent claim in scientific publications that were meant signing dawn topic culture outside chemistry gold is mentioned in a variety of expressions most often associated with intrinsic worth great human achievements are frequently rewarded with gold in the form of gold medals gold trophies and other decorations winners of athletic events and other graded competitions are usually awarded a gold medal many awards such as the Nobel Prize are made from gold as well other Awards statues and prizes are depicted in gold or are gold-plated such as the Academy Awards the Golden Globe Awards the Emmy Awards the Palme d'Or and the British Academy Film Awards Aristotle in his ethics used gold symbolism when referring to what is now known as the golden mean similarly gold is associated with perfect or divine principles such as in the case of the golden ratio and the golden rule gold is further associated with the wisdom of Aging and fruition the 50th wedding anniversary is golden a person's most valued or most successful latter years are sometimes considered golden years the height of a civilization is referred to as a golden age in some forms of Christianity and Judaism gold has been associated both with holiness and evil in the book of Exodus the golden calf is a symbol of idolatry while in the book of Genesis Abraham was said to be rich in gold and silver and Moses was instructed to cover the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant with pure gold in Byzantine iconography the halos of Christ Mary and the Christian Saints are often golden according to Christopher Columbus those who had something of gold were in possession of something of great value on earth and a substance to even help souls to paradise wedding rings have been made of gold it is long lasting and unaffected by the passage of time and may aid in the ring symbolism of eternal vows before God and the perfection the marriage signifies in Orthodox Christian wedding ceremonies the wedded couple is adorned with a golden crown though some opt for wreaths instead during the ceremony an amalgamation of symbolic rites topic production the World Gold Council states that as of the end of 2017 there were one hundred eighty-seven thousand two hundred tons of stocks in existence above-ground this can be represented by a cube with an edge length of about 21 meters at 1300 $49 per troy ounce 187 thousand two hundred metric tons of gold would have a value of eight point nine trillion dollars as of 2017 the world's largest gold producer by far was China with 455 tons the second largest producer Australia mined 270 tons in the same year followed by Russia with 250 tons topic mining and prospecting since the 1880s South Africa has been the source of a large proportion of the world's gold supply and about 50% of the gold presently accounted as from South Africa production in 1970 accounted for 79% of the world supply about 1480 tonnes in 2007 China with 276 tonnes overtook South Africa as the world's largest gold producer the first time since 1905 that South Africa has not been the largest as of 2014 China was the world's leading gold-mining country followed in order by Australia Russia the United States Canada and Peru South Africa which had dominated world gold production for most of the 20th century had declined to sixth place other major producers are the Ghana Burkina Faso Mali Indonesia and Uzbekistan in South America the controversial project Paschal Lama aims at exploitation of rich fields in the high mountains of Atacama Desert at the border between Chile and Argentina today about one-quarter of the world gold output is estimated to originate from artisanal or small-scale mining the city of Johannesburg located in South Africa was founded as a result of the Witwatersrand Gold Rush which resulted in the discovery of some of the largest natural gold deposits in recorded history the gold fields are confined to the northern and northwestern edges of the Witwatersrand Basin which is a five to seven kilometers thick layer of Archaean rocks located in most places deep under the Free State Gauteng and surrounding provinces these Witwatersrand rocks are exposed at the surface on the Witwatersrand in and around johannesburg but also in isolated patches to the southeast and southwest of johannesburg as well as in an arc around the Reta fort dome which lies close to the centre of the Witwatersrand Basin from these surface exposures the base and dips extensively requiring some of the mining to occur at depths of nearly 4,000 meters making them especially the salve yuca and Tona mines to the southwest of Johannesburg the deepest mines on earth the gold is found only in six areas where Archaean rivers from the north the Northwest formed extensive pebbly braided river deltas before draining into the Witwatersrand sea where the rest of the Witwatersrand sediments were deposited the second Boer War of 1899 to 1901 between the British Empire and the Afrikaner Boers was at least partly over the rights of minors in possession of the gold wealth in South Africa during the 19th century gold rushes occurred whenever large gold deposits were discovered the first documented discovery of gold in the United States was at the Reed gold mine near Georgia Ville North Carolina in 1803 the first major gold strike in the United States occurred in a small North Georgia town called Dahlonega further gold rushes occurred in California Colorado the Black Hills Otago in New Zealand Australia which waters Rand in South Africa and the Klondike in Canada topic extraction and refining Gold extraction is most economical enlarged easily mined deposits or grades as little as 0.5 parts per million ppm can be economical typical ore grades in open pit mines are 1 to 5 ppm or grades in underground or hard rock mines are usually at least 3 ppm because ore grades of 30 ppm are usually needed before gold is visible to the naked eye in most gold mines the gold is invisible the average gold mining and extraction costs were about three hundred seventeen dollars per troy ounce in 2007 but these can vary widely depending on mining type and/or quality global mine production amounted to two thousand four hundred seventy 1.1 tonnes after initial production gold is often subsequently refined industrially by the wool process which is based on electrolysis or by the Miller process that is chlorination in the melt the wool process results in higher purity but is more complex and is only applied in small scale installations other methods of a-sayin and purifying smaller amounts of gold include parting and in quotation as well as cupellation or refining methods based on the dissolution of gold in aqua regia topic consumption the consumption of gold produced in the world as about 50% in jewelry 40% in investments and 10% in industry according to World Gold Council China is the world's largest single consumer of gold in 2013 and toppled India for the first time with Chinese consumption increasing by 32 percent in a year while that of India only rose by 13 percent and world consumption rose by 21 percent unlike India where gold is mainly used for jewelry China uses gold for manufacturing and retail topic pollution Gold production is associated with contribution to hazardous pollution low-grade gold or may contain less than 1 ppm gold metal such Ora's ground and mixed with sodium cyanide to dissolve the gold cyanide is a highly poisonous chemical which can kill living creatures when exposed in minut quantities many cyanide spills from gold mines have occurred in both developed and developing countries which killed aquatic life in long stretches of affected rivers environmentalists consider these events major environmental disasters 30 tons of used or as dumped as waste for producing 1 troy ounce of gold gold ore dumps are the source of many heavy elements such as cadmium lead zinc copper arsenic selenium and mercury when sulphide bearing minerals in these or dumps are exposed to air and water the sulfide transforms into sulfuric acid which in turn dissolves these heavy metals facilitating their passage into surface water and groundwater this process is called acid mine drainage these gold ore dumps are long-term highly hazardous wastes second only to nuclear waste dumps it was once common to use mercury to recover gold from ore but today the use of mercury is largely limited to small-scale individual miners minut quantities of mercury compounds can reach water bodies causing heavy metal contamination mercury can then enter into the human food chain in the form of methyl mercury mercury poisoning in humans causes incurable brain function damage and severe retardation gold extraction is also a highly energy intensive industry extracting or from deep mines and grinding the large quantity of ore for further chemical extraction requires nearly 25 kilowatt hours of electricity per gram of gold produced topic monetary use Gold has been widely used throughout the world as money for efficient indirect exchange versus barter and to store wealth in hordes for exchange purposes mints produce standardized gold bullion coins bars and other units of fixed weight impurity the first known coins containing gold were struck in Lydia Asia Minor around 600 BC the talent coin of gold in use during the periods of Grecian history both before and during the time of the life of Homer weighed between 8.4 - and 8.75 grams from an earlier preference in using silver European economies reestablished the minting of gold as coinage during the 13th and 14th centuries bills that mature into gold coin and gold certificates convertible into gold coin at the issuing bank added to the circulating stock of gold standard money in most 19th century industrial economies in preparation for World War one the warring nations moved to fractional gold standards inflating their currencies to finance the war effort post-war the victorious countries most notably Britain gradually restored gold convertibility but international flows of gold via Bills of exchange remained embargoed international shipments were made exclusively for bilateral trades or to pay war reparations after World War Two gold was replaced by a system of nominally convertible currencies related by fixed exchange rates following the Bretton Woods system gold standards and the direct convertibility of currencies to gold have been abandoned by world governments led in 1971 by the United States refusal to redeem its dollars in gold fiat currency now fills most monetary roles Switzerland was the last country to tie its currency to gold it backed 40 percent of its value until the Swiss joined the international monetary fund in 1999 central bank's continued to keep a portion of their liquid reserves as gold in some form and metals exchanges such as the London bullion market Association still clear transactions denominated in gold including future delivery contracts today gold mining output is declining with the sharp growth of economies in the 20th century an increasing foreign exchange the world's gold reserves and their trading market have become a small frak of all markets and fixed exchange rates of currencies to gold have been replaced by floating prices for gold and gold future contract though the gold stock grows by only one or two percent per year very little metal is irretrievably consumed inventory above ground would satisfy many decades of industrial and even artisan uses at current prices the gold proportion fineness of alloys is measured by carat k pure gold commercially termed fine gold is designated as 24 karat abbreviated 24k English gold coins intended for circulation from 1526 into the 1930s were typically a standard 22 K alloy called crown gold for hardness American gold coins for circulation after 1837 contain an alloy of 0.9 0-0 fine gold or 21.6 knots although the prices of some platinum group metals can be much higher gold has long been considered the most desirable of precious metals and its value has been used as the standard for many currencies gold has been used as a symbol for purity value royalty and particularly roles that combine these properties gold is a sign of wealth and prestige was ridiculed by Thomas More in his treatise utopia on that imaginary island gold is so abundant that it is used to make chains for slaves tableware and lavatory seats when ambassadors from other countries arrived dressed in ostentatious gold jewels and badges the utopians mistake them for menial servants paying homage instead to the most modestly dressed of their party the ISO 4217 currency code of Golda's Zhou many holders of gold stored in form of bullion coins or bars as a hedge against inflation or other economic disruptions though its efficacy as such has been questioned historically it has not proven itself reliable as a hedging instrument modern bullion coins for investment or collector purposes do not require good mechanical wear properties they are typically fine gold at 24k although the American Gold Eagle and the British Gold Sovereign continued to be minted in 22 K 0.92 metal in historical tradition and the South African Krugerrand first released in 1967 is also 22 K 0.92 the special issue Canadian gold maple leaf coin contains the highest purity gold of any bullion coin at 99.999% or 0.9999 9 while the popular issue Canadian gold maple leaf coin has a purity of 99.99% in 2006 the United States Mint began producing the American Buffalo gold bullion coin with a purity of 99.99% the Australian Gold kangaroos were first coined in 1986 as the Australian gold nugget but changed the reverse design in 1989 other modern coins include the Austrian Vienna Philharmonic bullion coin and the Chinese gold Panda topic price as of September 2017 gold is valued at around $42 per gram $1,300 per troy ounce like other precious metals gold is measured by Troy weight and by grams the proportion of gold in the alloy is measured by carat k with 24 karat 24k being pure gold and lower carat numbers proportionally less the purity of the gold bar or coin can also be expressed as a decimal figure ranging from 0 to 1 known as the molest will fineness such as 0.995 being nearly pure the price of gold is determined through trading in the gold and derivatives markets but a procedure known as the gold fixing in London originating in September 1919 provides a daily benchmark price to the industry the afternoon fixing was introduced in 1968 to provide a price when US markets are open topic history historically gold coinage was widely used as currency when paper money was introduced it typically was a receipt redeemable for gold coin or bullion in a monetary system known as the gold standard a certain weight of gold was given the name of a unit of currency for a long period the United States government set the value of the US dollar so that one troy ounce was equal to 20 dollars and 67 cents 0.66 $5 per gram but in 1934 the dollar was devalued to $35 per troy ounce 0.889 dollars per gram by 1961 it was becoming hard to maintain this price and a pool of US and European banks agreed to manipulate the market to prevent further currency devaluation against increased gold demand on March 17 1968 economic circumstances caused the collapse of the gold pool and a two tiered pricing scheme was established whereby gold was still used to settle international accounts at the old $35 per troy ounce one dollar and thirteen cents per gram but the price of gold on the private market was allowed to fluctuate this two tiered pricing system was abandoned in 1975 when the price of gold was left to find its free market level central banks still hold historical gold reserves as a store of value although the level has generally been declining the largest gold depository in the world is that of the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York which holds about 3% of the gold known to exist and accounted for today as does the similarly late in u.s. bullion depository at Fort Knox in 2005 the World Gold Council estimated total global gold supply to be 3859 tons and demand to be 3,700 54 tons giving a surplus of 105 tons after the August 15 1971 Nixon shock the price began to greatly increase and between 1968 and 2000 the price of gold ranged widely from a high of $850 per troy ounce 27 dollars and 33 cents per gram on January 21st 1982 a low of 252 dollars and 90 cents per troy ounce eight dollars and 13 cents per gram On June 21st 1999 London gold fix prices increased rapidly from 2001 but the 1980 high was not exceeded until January 3rd 2008 when a new maximum of eight hundred sixty five dollars and thirty five cents per troy ounce was set another record price was set on March 17th 2008 at one thousand twenty three dollars and fifty cents per troy ounce thirty two dollars and ninety one cents per gram in late 2009 gold markets experienced renewed momentum upwards due to increased demand in a weakening US dollar on December 2nd 2009 gold reached a new high closing at 1217 dollars and twenty three cents gold further rallied hitting new highs in May 2010 after the European Union debt crisis prompted further purchase of gold as a safe asset on March 1st 2011 gold hit a new all-time high of one thousand four hundred thirty two dollars and fifty seven cents based on investor concerns regarding ongoing unrest in North Africa as well as in the Middle East from April 2001 to August 2011 spot gold prices more than quintupled in value against the US dollar hitting a new all-time high of 1900 $13.50 on August 23rd 2011 prompting speculation that the long secular bear market had ended and a bull market had returned however the price then began a slow decline towards $1200 per troy ounce in late 2014 and 2015 topic other applications you topic jewelry because of the softness of pure 24k gold it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewelry altering its hardness and ductility melting point color and other properties alloys with lower carat rating typically 22 K 18k 14k or 10k contain higher percentages of copper or other base metals or silver or palladium in the alloy nickel is toxic and its release from nickel white gold is controlled by legislation in Europe palladium gold alloys are more expensive than those using nickel high karat white gold alloys are more resistant to corrosion than are either pure silver or sterling silver the Japanese craft of mokume gane exploits the color contrast between laminated colored gold alloys to produce decorative woodgrain effects by 2014 the gold jewelry industry was escalating despite a dip in gold prices demand in the first quarter of 2014 pushed turnover to twenty three point seven billion dollars according to a World Gold Council report gold solder is used for joining the components of gold jewellery by high temperature hard soldering or brazing if the work is to be of hallmarking quality the gold solder alloy must match the finest purity of the work and alloy formulas are manufactured to color match yellow and white gold gold solder is usually made in at least three melting point range is referred to as easy medium and hard by using the hard high melting point solder first followed by soldiers with progressively lower melting points Goldsmith's can assemble complex items with several separate solder joints Gold can also be made into thread and used in embroidery topic electronics only 10% of the world consumption of new gold produced goes to industry but by far the most important industrial use for new gold as in fabrication of corrosion free electrical connectors in computers and other electrical devices for example according to the World Gold Council a typical cell phone may contain 50 milligrams of gold worth about 50 cents but since nearly 1 billion cell phones are produced each year a gold value of 50 cents in each phone adds to 500 million dollars in gold from just this application though gold is attacked by free chlorine it's good conductivity and general resistance to oxidation and corrosion in other environments including resistance to non-chlorinated acids has led to its widespread industrial use in the electronic era as a thin layer coating on electrical connectors thereby ensuring good connection for example gold is used in the connectors of the more expensive electronics cables such as audio-video and USB cables the benefit of using gold over other connector metals such as tin in these applications has been debated gold connectors are often criticized by audio-visual experts as unnecessary for most consumers and seen as simply a marketing ploy however the use of gold in other applications in electronics sliding contacts in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres and in use for contacts with a very high failure cost certain computers communications equipment spacecraft jet aircraft engines remains very common besides sliding electrical contacts gold is also used in electrical contacts because of its resistance to corrosion electrical conductivity ductility and lack of toxicity switch contacts are generally subjected to more intense corrosion stress than our sliding contacts fine gold wires are used to connect semiconductor devices to their packages through a process known as wire bonding the concentration of free electrons in gold metal is five point nine one times one thousand 22 centimeters minus three gold is highly conductive to electricity and has been used for electrical wiring in some high energy applications only silver and copper are more conductive per volume but gold has the advantage of corrosion resistance for example gold electrical wires were used during the Manhattan projects atomic experiments but large high current silver wires were used in the calutron isotope separator magnets in the project it is estimated that 16% of the world's gold and 22% of the world's silver as contained in electronic technology in Japan topic medicine metallic and gold compounds have long been used for medicinal purposes gold usually as the metal is perhaps the most anciently administered medicine apparently by shamanic practitioners and known to die ascore IDEs in medieval times gold was often seen as beneficial for the health in the belief that something so rare and beautiful could not be anything but healthy even some modern esotericist sin forms of alternative medicine assigned metallic gold a healing power in the 19th century gold had a reputation as a nerve EIN a therapy for nervous disorders depression epilepsy migraine and glandular problems such as amenorrhea and impotence were treated and most notably alcoholism Keeley 1897 the apparent paradox of the actual toxicology of the substance suggests the possibility of serious gaps in the understanding of the action of gold in physiology only salts and radioisotopes of gold are a pharmacological value since elemental metallic gold is invert to all chemicals it encounters inside the body ie ingested gold cannot be attacked by stomach acid some gold salts do have anti-inflammatory properties and at present two are still used as pharmaceuticals in the treatment of arthritis and other similar conditions in the u.s. sodium ara Theo malade anion ofin these drugs have been explored as a means to help to reduce the pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis and also historically against tuberculosis and some parasites gold alloys are used in restorative dentistry especially in to threats such as crowns and permanent bridges the gold alloys slight malleability facilitates the creation of a superior molar mating surface with other teeth and produces results that are generally more satisfactory than those produced by the creation of porcelain crowns the use of gold crowns and more prominent teeth such as incisors as favored in some cultures and discouraged in others colloidal gold preparations suspensions of gold nanoparticles in water are intensely red colored and can be made with tightly controlled particle sizes up to a few tens of nanometers across by reduction of gold chloride with citrate or ascorbate ions colloidal gold is used in research applications in medicine biology and materials science the technique of immuno gold labeling exploits the ability of the gold particles to adsorb protein molecules under their surfaces colloidal gold particles coated with specific antibodies can be used as probes for the presence and position of antigens on the surfaces of cells in ultra-thin sections of tissues viewed by electron microscopy the immuno gold labels appear as extremely dense round spots at the position of the antigen gold or alloys of gold and palladium are applied as conductive coating to biological specimens and other non conducting materials such as plastics and glass to be viewed in a scanning electron microscope the coating which is usually applied by sputtering with an argon plasma has a triple role in this application gold's very high electrical conductivity drains electrical charge to earth and it's very high density provides stopping power for electrons in the electron beam helping to limit the depth to which the electron beam penetrates the specimen this improves definition of the position and topography of the specimen surface and increases the spatial resolution of the image Gold also produces a high output of secondary electrons when irradiated by an electron beam and these low energy electrons are the most commonly used signal source used in the scanning electron microscope the isotope gold 198th half-life to 7 days is used in nuclear medicine in some cancer treatments and for treating other diseases topic cuisine golde can be used in food and has the e number 175 in 2016 the European Food Safety Authority published an opinion on the re-evaluation of gold

German Goldwater of Danzig or goldwasser English Goldwater is a traditional German herbal liqueur produced in what is today Gdansk Poland and Schwabacher Germany and contains flakes of gold leaf there are also some expensive sea $1,000.00 cocktails which contain flakes of gold leaf however since metallic gold is inert to all body chemistry it has no taste it provides no nutrition and it leaves the

c5_eTRTWPts	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5_eTRTWPts	Lectionary Podcast-Advent 1-Series B - Epistle - 1 Corinthians 1:3-9 with Dr. Arthur Just	greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ as we begin a new church here with the study of 1st Corinthians 1 verses 3 to 9 it is hard for us to believe that we have already recorded 3 years of the Gospels and we are going to reissue them unless there is one of our professors who would like to rerecord what they did a number of years ago so starting now in this first Sunday in Advent in this series B of Mark's Gospel we are going to record either the epistle lesson or the Old Testament lesson we're going to make it the choice of the professor of that day and I have chosen to begin this new church here in this new podcast series with the epistle lesson from first corinthians 1 it is a very appropriate lesson for the beginning of Advent and most of you are going to be preaching on the gospel and we encouraged preaching on the gospel but we wanted to offer some alternatives and perhaps some way in which you can have some information from the Epistle or the Old Testament lesson to add to the the preaching on the gospel and as we know in this season of Advent you've heard this many many times that we are between the times we are there's the three advents the coming of Christ with the Incarnation which is what we celebrate at Christmas Christ coming among us now in the sacraments and then Christ coming again in glory and and one of the things that we do during the season of Advent is that we we anticipate his coming again in glory and prepare ourselves for that by celebrating that he has come and continues to be among us and this text from first corinthians is a wonderful way of anticipating that coming in glory as well as preparing us for his coming so let's let's go to the text and look at a couple of things to start to begin I want to point out how there are some very significant theological words here for example Paul begins and we've added verse 3 the lectionary has which is sort of the end of the prologue the Grace and peace these are words that I always teach in Galatians they are they are typical Pauline words but they're words that I think you can see have a great impact on understanding you know the nature of his greeting now I I've always thought of grace I mean we know what grace is it's gift but I've always thought of grace as a space you know and and I think it has a liturgical sense there grace is where God is present making right what has gone wrong where he is justifying where he was giving his gifts and peace of course comes from the Shalom you know that this is the peace that is in a way an apocalyptic word in the sense that the war between you know man and God over sin has now been satiated it's been there there is a peaceful you know reconciliation now in the blood of Jesus Christ and so here we are in this gray space and we now have this wonderful peace that comes from the atonement some of you know that I have said many times that peace is the number one word in the liturgy you can just look it up yourself but we begin with peace and we end with peace and peace is just shot through the entire the entire lectionary you'll see that Paul repeats grace here it's that important and it's the grace that has been given to you in Christ Jesus and these are these are gifts these are the gifts that have been given and many people see those gifts as being speech and knowledge I'll come back to that in a minute but those are the gifts that I think that are given in this space that God is present offering his gifts that that's the first observation about that language the second observation is I want you to see how many times Paul refers to Jesus Christ six times you can see they're all here in the yellow so if you look carefully at this you'll be able to see that he refers to him in verse one excuse me verse 3 verse 4 verse 5 verse 6 verse 7 verse 8 verse 9 every verse Jesus is referred to and then here you can see in verse 5 in him there's a reference there to Christ as well also I want you to notice that four times he refers to him as the Lord Jesus Christ and I put it in green so you can see it there in green in verse three and then it occurs again in verse seven eight and nine now one of the things that I think that suggests to us is that what we have happening here in this text and in this season of Advent is that grace and peace comes through Jesus and here he describes him as Jesus the Christ or in Christ Jesus Christ Christ Jesus you know he goes back and forth but I mean Jesus is the center of the gift-giving and that is really what we now are giving thanks for this is believe it or not the only main verb in the entire section you can see here from the the way in which this ends at the at the very the end there you do have a new sentence God is faithful through whom you are called but there is no there is no main verb so the only main verb is the giving of thanks there in verse 4 and you can see that four five six seven and eight is one long sentence and it's a it's it's sort of a typical kind of Pauline sort of thing to do I mean can see Effie hottie Cotto's this is result then he's got this participle which is I think where you get maybe one of your main themes waiting expectantly for the apocalypse the coming the revelation of Jesus Christ speaking of the last times and this is an interesting word Greg Lockwood in his commentary suggests that even though it appears as if Jesus is the antecedent here he goes back here to God the Father and he thinks that that's the one that this Hass refers to and I think he may be very right I mean it certainly does put it in a perspective where you can see that this section which is sort of the apocalyptic section with the language of apocalypse here the end here and in the day of the Lord of our Lord Jesus Christ which of course has always been understood from the Old Testament on to be the the coming of Christ and the coming of Christ at the end you can see here that that the coming sort of collapse that the Incarnation and the parousia are really one and the same event and so it's you know these really do mark in many ways once Christ is incarnate the end has come that many times in many of the things that I've written about but anyway the the point I'm trying to make is that this is a prayer a giving of thanks that is just one long sentence with all these subordinate clauses let's look at a little bit of the grammar here so we can get a sense of what is happening in terms of the grammar and and there are a couple of things here that I think are worth our time first of all I want to I want to point out that these here and I put them in italics and in bold I'm underlining him here in blue these are arris passives you know the grace that has been given to you or as it says in in verse five that in every way you were enriched in him you know past tense something that happened in the past or verse six you know about Christ was confirmed among you now I think these these Erised passives all are a reference back to either their baptism their coming to faith that of course led them to baptism this this is when it was given and these are things that happened them to them in the past and it was something that was in Christ Jesus I think you really have to see how already here at the beginning of Corinthians this incorporation into Christ is in view here it was given to you in Christ Jesus you know in that in that you and every way were enriched in him there's this this dwelling that happened in the past but continues now into the present so that's one thing to observe another thing to observe is this genitive here you know the witness of Christ this is an objective genitive Christ is the object of the witness and and what we're talking about here the witness is the preaching of Christ and the preaching of Christ is of course what brought about faith what led people to baptism you know and that witness that testimony was confirmed among you so I mean these are just a few grammatical points that I think recognized how important this text can be in terms of seeing the the the now not yet character of the text and and you you've got their baptism you've got their ongoing life in the church now and then you've got their looking forward to waiting expectantly for the coming of Christ again in glory now what's what's so interesting about this is the fact that there is this very curious statement here and a lot of the commentators make note of this in every word and in every knowledge you know sometimes that's translated in all speech and in all knowledge now one commentator said this reminds us of Romans I think it was Greg Lockwood who said this Romans 10:9 where you have if you confess with your mouth there's the speech and believe in your heart there's the knowledge that Jesus has risen from the dead you will be saved now that's that's a very interesting comment there and want one of as I said one of the commentator said this is actually more than one this is very much a piece of irony here because perhaps this speech is speaking about the gift of tongues the the spiritual gift of tongues and and the knowledge is that sort of special Gnostic knowledge that they think they have because they have this gift of tongues and that that Paul is in a sense seeing that they're kind of inebriated with this this speech and this knowledge and he wants to ground them in the reality of Christ Jesus which is why he refers to Christ six times plus one if you include the in him here so he wants them to see that that the reason why they can wait expectantly for the apocalypse of our Lord Jesus Christ is precisely because the grace that has been given to them is in Christ Jesus and is not something that they have kind of in and of themselves because they have this special speech and this special knowledge now he does have a result clause here which I think is is very important you know the testimony or the witness about Christ was confirmed among you so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift now notice their spiritual gift again okay this one is given in Christ Jesus every spiritual gift excuse me in every gift I shouldn't say spiritual gift that's exactly what I don't want to say that's what they think they should here here that the word here should be spiritual gift Pennell Pannell ma tika that's what they're focused on mysterious and he wants them to see that the gift actually is something that is given to them that is in fact Christ himself the Christ is the gift that is given and when you have Christ who has come who has atone for sins who has done everything that is necessary then you have every every gift that you possibly need so that you might wait expectantly for the apocalypse for the end for the day of the Lord now I think that the the beauty of this text especially for Advent is the fact that we have this last verse which is so important here for for understanding this text and I'm going to just lit put it down here so you can see it you can see there's a there's a period here so that that ends this this prayer and verse 9 is in many ways where I might preach on this text if I were to preach it God is faithful through whom you were called or by whom you were called and here into the fellowship and I'd like to translate that communion in the communion of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord now this this is a loaded word as you know it's a word that doesn't occur in the Gospels it first occurs in acts 2:42 if you're reading straight through the New Testament and in in the Corinthian correspondence it means one of three things participation in Christ and that is obviously a sacramental kind of participation it's also participation in the blessings of the gospel which isn't a lot different but you're looking there more at what the person of Christ brings like forgiveness life salvation as Luther said and then of course there is the body and blood itself and I think there are many commentators who would like you to see that this communion is connecting you to the you know 1st Corinthians 10 and 11 parts of the text where communion is in the body and blood of Christ and it's that communion in Christ you know which we've anticipated earlier here with the language of in Christ in him it's that communion in Christ that marks God as faithful and this this is one of the great things you can say about God that it's one of the great attributes of God that he is faithful to his promises he is faithful to what he has said he will do and what he has said he is he will do is that by the coming of Christ and the ongoing presence of Christ through baptism and faith and the Lord's Supper and the the the testimony of Christ the testimony about Christ I should say that that that is what makes it possible for us to anticipate Christ's coming again in glory and to be ready for that coming when he comes again in glory so as we we come to the end of our study I think it's very important for us to recognize here that as we have this triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday which is the gospel for this day we we see already the end and that is the crucifixion that Palm Sunday reminds us that Jesus was born to die and and his the celebration of birth the celebration of the Incarnation is really the celebration of the atonement as well and that prepares us for his coming again in glory first corinthians gives us sort of a glimpse of what it was like in a real life church that had all the problems that we know that the Corinthian congregation had and that paul you know instead of in a sense chastising them as he begins here he points them in thanksgiving in a prayer of thanksgiving to the gift that has been given and that gift is christ and that they can now speak you know their speech is the speech of christ they now have the knowledge and this knowledge is the knowledge of salvation that comes through the entire event of christ that these things are the the very stuff of what they need to prepare for his coming again and glory so the lord be with you as we begin a new church here as we begin a new podcast series that the lord jesus christ who has come who is present among us and who will come again will bless you with every good gift	Concordia Theological Seminary Podcasts	UC--Bhi-E10Et--HxTgLQhxw	2017-11-28	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

N9X4zVBViGY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9X4zVBViGY	TWL 352: Crown Jewel Build, AEW Signs Ric Flair, Paul Wight's Nips, & More!	I couldn't give a tink as fig the wrest life hey everybody it's the wrestling life it is episode 352 it's the first week of November of 2023 I meet and I'm Liam Liam we have so much to talk about this week and as always so many things we cannot talk about on the first and only wrestling podcast and we talking about a lot of those things that we uh normally can't talk about though this week because going to be a lot of old man talk it's going to be a lot of discussing the erect nipples of the the former Big Show Paul White no more BS Paul White it's going to be uh talking about uh Ric Flair and his mushroom energy drink and uh WWE running a show in Saudi Arabia again start with the former World Wrestling Federation we have a crown jewel coming up on Saturday from Riad Saudi Arabia the meast Star La KN is challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship they have seven main card matches and the return of the vaed pre- match on this event um Sami Zayn versus JD McDon in the roster versus Judgment Day Feud that has taken over Monday Night Raw that has bled over into the Crown Jewel pre-show you think of the Judgment Day being all over raw and NXT and sometimes Smackdown I like it that it's gotten so um repetitive that like the announcers talking about it now yes like Wade Barrett's on raw and Monday be like hey you know we've been doing this angle where JD McDon wants to join the Judgment Day and they won't let him for like three months now when's uh when are they gonna let him in the group yeah we don't good question Wade um you know I think they're they're over like they're a good they're good act I just I've watched every feeling like every combination of Sami Zayn or Cody rhods versus a member of the Judgment Day or Jay Uso versus a member of the Judgment Day uh that I can think of in singles matches tag matches whatevers and uh we're just kind of rinsing and repeating but you know not to look past this Crown Jewel show but uh you know you assume they're either doing regular Survivor series or maybe war games again in a in a few weeks so maybe then maybe then we'll get to to do a little bit of uh advancement in this uh this wonderful sprawling epic that is uh the Judgment Day being on television for nine hours a week yes they they are all over NXT also it's usually just Dom and Ria but it's like if you are Dom and you manage to avoid nxc Al together and you're Ria and you graduated the developmental program and are better than 95% of the people on the main roster what do you feel like when they send you to Orlando every Tuesday what's what's Paul's version of I'll ow you on pal you know like you got try we're trying to get a TV deal for NXT here we need some star power I guess I don't know I don't know what that is all right but uh we can talk about the rest of the card here rear Ripley the aforementioned rear rley defending the women's world championship against Shaina Basler Zoe Stark Raquel Rodriguez and Nia Jax all the stars are here should be fantastic uh you know it's I'm perversely enjoying Nia Jax being back because this is her revenge tour yeah yes so this is uh there's something about her uh there's always there's a element of danger in any match that she's in um break it down into a shoot at any point right so there's some fun there hey like Ria Ria so much of Ria's stuff is focused on like the boys storylines so nice that she gets to have a pay-per-view match here so um yeah I don't I'm sure the match will be fine uh or maybe it'll be terrible because of some of the people that are involved but maybe again there's always that chance that we could just start throwing real punches at some point when ni is in there so fingers crossed yeah that uh that does add an element of danger that uh that feels exciting the uh the raw men's title the World Heavyweight Championship on the line with Seth Rollins defending against Drew McIntyre who still hasn't turned heel yet he's come closer than ever but still still tweener Drew MC Tire challenging Seth freaking Rollins for the world heavyweight title well I think we discussed this a few weeks maybe he'll the the classic WWE thing will be we all know he's stting heel but he's going to lose clean to the champion and then turn heel on the champion after the match or the next night and then they'll Feud for another two months even though the feud started with the champion beating him clean so that's what I would expect here yeah that sound that sounds about right um the other Monday Night Raw match on this pay-per-view was Cody roads versus Daman priest and they gave Cody a storyline injury last week and then he ran out at 1056 and called Damen priest to walk behind her on uh on this week's show so um they're really really playing all of Dusty's hits that's right uh yeah probably be all right match uh you know a very uh I mean I don't know I got I doesn't like I said it's just been going for so long that it's hard to get excited about any of this but you know Cody still Cody still generally feels like a star when he's out there so I think he'll he'll will this to be maybe better than your average raw TV match if nothing else yeah it feels very much like a raw main event but uh we'll see how that goes the uh the smackdown brand will be represented by one two three four matches on this show uh let's see here United States Championship Rey Mysterio versus Logan Paul Ray has won a lot of matches under Paul LX tenure as the uh Chief creative officer Chief content officer of uh WWE and I think that comes to an end when uh Paul's favorite child Logan Paul beats him in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this Saturday Paul's favorite Paul uh yeah I I think Logan Paul will win he's not around all the time but that doesn't matter and he can wear the he can have the U WWE US Championship sitting next to him while he does his podcast that inexplicably like 30 million people watch on YouTube every week and whatever else he does he can just carry the belt with him everywhere carry the belt while he's doing boxing matches or walking his brother out to the ring for his boxing matches just carries the belt everywhere with him I can Nick Khan loves this idea loves the idea of Logan Paul being the US champion I bet that he does uh EOS Sky versus Bianca belir for the other women's title the WWE Women's Championship um Bianca's back io's going to uh wrestle her and uh uh you've seen it before it's uh it was good before um yeah yeah they have the storyline here where damage control took out Bianca for two months while she uh U took a mental health break and uh then she came back and uh saved Charlotte and uh then just announced she was getting a title match like it's more story than they often do true but I'm not saying it's a lot it's it's their best story ever but it's more story than they usually do and Bianca did win the belt and then IO cashed in on her correct so she would technically be OD to rematch theoretically even though she was only Champion for two minutes or whatever sure so yeah that's all fine um I they could have flushed that out a bit sure absolutely they they do have a lot of time where they could have made made try to make this care a little bit more but it's as you said the bar is on Theo sometimes um but no I think this will be fine and I would expect either at this show or maybe next next uh next few weeks at Survivor Series I assume Bianca's getting this belt and then I assume it's Bianca and Charlotte at WrestleMania next year so uh that's like the last big match that they have I guess I guess they didn't really do Bianca versus Ria ever did they so that's like they're they're too like at least not in WWE or not not not on non NXT television so like charl Charlotte and Bianca feels like a a match that they would they would want to have Main Event night one of WrestleMania or why not not the real main event obviously but that's Romans but all right that's one that's hurtful um because I know what you're implying I'm just I'm not saying that I'm saying that's how Romans never made inventing night one is what I'm saying so there's a there's a way that they look they look at those two night Wrestlemania that's all I'm saying right For Better or Worse fair or not John Cena's wrestling solo CA on this show maybe John's last appearance for a while maybe not that that strike still hasn't been settled uh writers are back writing projects they're writing their wonderful iety shows and uh but John can't act in them that's right uh so um yeah I think they have been selling that this as Jon has not had a singles win in five years or whatever the number is unbelievable and uh and he probably does need a win because the next time he comes back to put over uh Lonnie donigan at WrestleMania then it should mean something yeah I think he should win a lot more often than he does I think that's we I mean we just got through talking about how how often Ry won before the current regime took over and how it generally means a little bit more when he loses now um and they should be treating John Cena the same it's why we he absolutely should not have lost all the Austin Theory yeah it's so funny like the effort that he did not put in to putting over Austin Theory compared to the effort e he put into getting you know to giving La Knight the shine at the last pay-per-view right uh just incredible really like really like notched John Cena up in my book as like an all-time great like you knew you knew what you're doing tremendous and uh the forementioned LA Knight challenging for the universal title against Roman Reigns um probably protect LA but uh he has to do a job here right yeah absolutely I mean it's it's the Roman Reigns special right there will be talking and squeezing and interference and maybe La gets a gets like one visual pin on him with a ref knocked out or Paul distracting the ref or whatever and uh and then he loses and as always is the case when you have a big baby face who's gotten over in uh in a company where Roman Reigns is the world champion uh and will be the world champion for the foreseeable future uh makes you curious what happens to La Knight after the show uh does the does the crowd stay invested in him the way they have been once he's not you know no longer on the upswing I mean they have another world title not that anyone really cares about it but he could win that or you could set up him and Logan Paul and he could try to get the US Championship from him at some point like you could keep doing stuff with him but once he tries and fails to beat the top guy will will the crowd kind of realize his his lot in life and go all right that's fine we accept him at that level or does this crowd will is I don't think WWE fans we've talked about this they don't get mad when guys they like lose anymore like that they don't have that dog in them anymore no no it's a different uh it's a different audience now um and we'll see how they respond indeed um Survivor Series they've kind of been building Survivor Series alongside this Crown show we know that we're going to get um some manner of of team versus team thing here whether it's war games or not you're G to have the Judgment Day against Cody and J Uso and Sammy and Kevin and um yeah so that uh that build will cick in um coming up on Monday on Raw but um I I think everyone is talking in general terms about how they have have there's clearly long-term pieces in play here and I am just sitting here scratching my head like um what I don't know what you're talking about like what do you think they're building long term yeah I mean there's I think there's something you could maybe gleam or guess that the fact that Kevin got forced to go to SmackDown because Cody got Jay on Raw like so if Kevin's the fourth guy in that match even though guys just go to every show as we've been talking about whenever they want but right we pretend like the brand split matters when we have a storyline reason for it to matter um so like maybe Kevin turns heel in the war games and you know you do like Kevin and Cody at the rumble or something I don't know like you you get I I don't know what else there is to really build out of that or or Daman or you finally pull the trigger on priest turning baby face on Finn or whatever I guess those are your your your big options somebody turns on somebody but that doesn't you know I guess I look it would be nice to see some sort of progression even if it's something they've been telegraphing for months I I suppose I suppose I can see that and uh I I do still expect some kind of brand versus brand thing in here somewhere because uh Seth Rollins put his booking sheet out for November and he's on the smackdown on uh uh before Survivor Series he I guess that could just be a dark match I knew they do they do bring him in for uh dark matches occasionally there but uh true and they they did do that weird little segment where um uh Magnus through uh threw Adam Pierce and somebody out of out of SmackDown a couple of weeks ago yes so they're they're doing some sort of uh GM rivalry between raon and SmackDown or at least they were teasing it a couple of weeks ago those always work that's wonderful yeah remember all those wonderful segments where Teddy Long and Eric Bishoff had to talk about brand Supremacy weren't those wonderful yes they were um Erica the Viking Raiders uh had his neck fused spinal fusion everyone cause it neck fusion it's cervical spine it's it's spinal fusion drives me absolutely insane uh best wishes to him Bianca B and Montes Ford uh Montes Ford's reality show will debut in February on Hulu I can't wait to not watch God bless them they seem like a wonderful couple and I wish them end their show the very best well uh I I just need to know if there are other WWE wrestlers on the show and who is taking like the Rusev role on that show or the Fandango role and being like the one interesting character uh for that I would enjoy on that show versus the rest of it just being a show made for a different audience yes yes there is very much that there is a uh there is a wonderful element to uh our show this week in that uh when you when you speak it sounds as if you are in um uh the a British pub yeah it is tremendous I also want to apologize for mispronouncing lra Lyra vy's name uh for pretty much my entire life Lyra valkiria she's the NXT Women's Champion and she's uh returning to that show next week after uh beating Becky Lynch and uh LOL lce won the NXT Women's breakout tournament um everyone who's extremely horny on Twitter will enjoy that and uh yeah the Creeds look like they're headed to the main roster from NXT so um good for them they've U run out of stories to tell in NXT yeah been down there I mean rodri strong still worked there the last time they were when they were down there right like they've been down there a long time at least in NXT time yes um so that's kind of uh kind of what's happening there and then uh everyone is pretty negative on aw this week uh Ric Flair has signed a two-year contract that's right um no more BS Paul White and his nipples are returning to the ring to wrestle on a random Dynamite uh in in uh in Los Angeles or Englewood California um mjf is shooting with half the roster uh the uh I don't know you want to go micro or macro and talking about uh aew I guess the good news is more people watched Dynamite this week because there wasn't a um active shooter situation anywhere in the country yeah I I was like do we want to do we want to say like the two things that I liked about Dynamite before we on it for 20 minutes or well or save the two th two nice things for the app it's really your call we could sandwich compliment it I'll start out with one they did a like a through line story on Dynamite this week even though I think it was pretty clear for the last three weeks that it was sh yeah that that the acclaimed was going to be the partners where mjf is going around asking everyone like trying to find Partners but because of the history of mjf in this company everyone except the acclaimed and Jeff Jarrett as it turns out hate him and don't want to team with him except for Joe I guess who would team with him in exchange for a title shot but nobody else likes this guy so the whole show is him trying in vain to find a tag partner and at the end he has the baby faces come out they get their like Dude Love teaming with Steve Austin thing um and then the baby face is lost which is not a good not a good fun ending to the show but uh I thought I was like okay they don't normally do that they don't normally have a through line from like the opening segment and then keep cutting back to it throughout the show and then it leads into the main event so I appreciate them trying something different even if you know it wasn't all a home run uh I appreciate them trying something uh as a way to maybe hold your interest in a story in a and in a match quite frankly that I wasn't particularly interested in seeing uh at the time so that's my that's my first compliment we'll save the other one for the end all right um uh so they set up three matches for their uh next pay-per-view on the show um the artist formerly known as Edge will be teaming with Darby Allen and sting as uh as was abundantly clear against Christian Cage luchasaurus and Nick Wayne so that'll be happening they set up uh hangman versus swerve Strickland 2 following up on a terrible home fake home invasion angle from last week and uh and uh John Moxley will be challenging orange Cassidy for the International Championship again and I'm sure what will be a hoot yeah um let's just we didn't do a show last week so I didn't get to talk about you know we I have multiple times on the show we've both complimented swerve as far as like his Aura as far as his work pretty talented guy I think um definitely a guy I would look to build around that being said a cool Factor you can't teach exactly that being said he is severely Lucha underground pill and horrible ideas and that combined with maybe more and more xwe and TNA people having the boss's ear uh leads to some real real dumb stuff that I don't want anywhere near whereas like I'm not going to romanticize like year one and two of aew and pretend there were no problems and it was always a great show because it wasn't but like it was a fairly simple show as far as like be a wrestling match to open be a long wrestling match in the middle get a women's match at n at 9:45 and then uh or would after wrap up at 9:45 you get your main event that would also be good and it was simple and even if everything wasn't great there was good wrestling every week and now there's just there's so much talking there's so much uh wacky 20 t0s WWE and TNA comedy on this show I use the term comedy Loosely and there's just most importantly there is so much talking on this show now and it's it's not good because that's the other thing too it's like sometimes if it's a go home show for a pay-per-view or whatever you got to do a lot of talking you got to do a lot of video packages I understand but it's the amount of time wrestling versus the amount of time talking is really at least it feels this way as a van I haven't done the math I'm sure uh wrestl nomics or somebody has probably broken this down to a science but it feels to me as a person watching the show every week uh I'm not getting my stopwatch out but it feels like the amount of talking has gone way up and the amount of good to Great wrestling has gone way down on this show and that makes it a lot harder to enjoy justtin General um and then when you add in like stupid logical fallacies like swerve broke into someone's house and threatened his child and he's just at work and gets a microphone and the and the guy whose child he's threatened is just having a wrestling match the next week I don't know I think that's I think that's dumb I think that's WWE stuff I think that's TNA stuff and uh I don't want it anywhere near the show but here we are that's where we are with aw right now there you go well in addition to um as you alluded to there's a lot of former WWE creative producer type that work there now uh Brian Danielson suggested that Tony Khan hired Jimmy Jacobs to be his best friend and uh and to travel with him on uh all the time everywhere and uh to get an apartment uh right next to Tony's uh house so that um he can be on call 24 hours a day seven days a week I would imagine that's a very difficult job and I don't know Jimmy Jacobs I don't know Jimmy Jacobs from the man of the Moon I don't know anything about him uh but uh there's seems to be a lot of evidence that since Jimmy showed up uh these shows um have have gotten remarkedly worse uh people don't enjoy uh the guy what's his name Mike manui that they hired from WWE who uh is a television production guy that all of the um talent that worked with him in WWE likes him personally and I know from some of his social media posts that he takes any criticism very very hard and I know he's trying to do a very good job and uh people that we like and uh root for uh like him but uh he clearly has a vision for what a wrestling television show is like and it doesn't seem to be the spirit of those first and second year aw dynamites that you uh laid out there um sanj dut Jeff Jarrett uh came into the company and uh they have uh influence sanj especially and um their track record creatively speaks for itself and um then you have a lot of um the thespians have shown up uh Adam Copeland uh he's got a talk on every show and Christian Cage he's got to talk on every show and they have to talk to each other on every show and I don't necessarily have a problem with it everybody loves what Christian's done this year sure everybody loves the the Angry Dad or the Father Figure thing and he's wildly entertaining absolutely uh as part of a wonderful variety show um problem is when you have like maybe 12 of uh of of the fesp that need that need their time to do their their speaking uh mjf has always been a talk first guy M and uh he's feuding with the whole roster and he's also a tag team champions by himself the RO Tag Team Champions by himself and the world champion of the company and uh Jay White stole his belt a month ago and uh he's a world champion without a belt he had a world title match with without a belt yeah oh yeah we again we didn't do a show last week but they uh they seemingly forgot until about uh nine days before uh before it happened that mjf was about to break Kenny Kenny's reign as the longest reigning uh world champion in the company's history so they very quickly threw together a uh a Kenny mjf match which was a very good television match really really good but uh like 400,000 people saw it because uh it happened on a Saturday night uh and it it had a three a three-day build so sure um so we've laid out a lot of problems here Tony storm everybody loves the Tony storm stuff no one has any issues with it uh till maybe Luther showed up as her Butler um everyone's got to have a butler I'm just conf I'm concerned because we know Luther is a Jericho guy oh yeah and the closer chrisan Jericho is to anything that people like in aw well history speaks for itself doesn't it yes it's definitely concerning uh but everybody likes that like everybody everybody likes two or three things that are going on right now and uh everybody uh hates the way that the shows are laid out yeah it feels very I I probably saw a couple people say this this week it's not my original thought completely but it's very 2010's we and that you can find things to enjoy as you've just laid out but the overall Vibes of the company and the overall feeling of the company in general is bad and people feel like it's a bad show right now and that's a hard even if you can find you could parse out little things that you do like but it's it's getting but the company as a whole has feels like it has a very negative uh relationship at least online it's hard to say because again they did a better number this week than they did last week again we talked about the outlying factors that led to that number being so down last week but um so maybe the the still Rank and file however many non non Twitter users who just watch the show every Wednesday night maybe they still love it I don't know but um it feels like you can you can find your fun to be there's fun to be had on this show but the overall show is kind of getting more and more of a slog to get through yeah and and dynamite Dynamite's the main show and uh it's the worst show uh Rampage is just a few quick matches and you can watch it or not watch it and there's not a whole lot of cannon that happens on that show so uh you can watch it or not watch it and be fine Collision is still pretty much the wrestling show I will give them the credit that they have uh the the tone and tenor of that show has remained the same uh but uh also it's on Saturday night and there's always Sports on Saturday night and uh also maybe you don't want to devote a fourth or fifth or sixth or seventh night of the week to watching pro wrestling uh so yeah and Brian danielson's out hurt again and so now uh I don't know how you could have a roster that size and be short people but uh anyway wrestling is the is the Saturday's the wrestling show and Wednesday is the wonderful variety show and uh the variety show is not good um yeah so I don't know yeah but uh at least at least at least we have no more BS Paul White and his and his protruding nipples uh yeah he'll be back teaming with Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega and cot II the big four it's like all right maybe people are like who who is getting TV time too on this show it's it's EDG and Christian it's uh Ric Flair it's Chris Jericho it's the Big Show it's the 2008 Smackdown roster yeah like like who who asked for this who wants this there is the thing like I enjo again I enjoyed Jericho and show as a team at the time speaking of an era where you really had to find your fun in WWE 14 years ago yeah yeah they they were a fun team especially those really like down in the dumps guest host raw eras oh yeah Jericho himself and Big Show as well were a big part of making those shows anything resembling watchable uh but it's been as you said it's been it's been 14 years I don't to be honest I'm more excited at the at the prospect of seeing no more BS Paul White than I am at seeing Chris Jericho wrestle despite the fact that when no more BS Paul White walked out in his Gear with his nipples out on Dynamite this week uh he he just he couldn't stand he couldn't stand like a normal man uh he couldn't stand like a human man and uh they they had Kyle Fletcher um who they set up for his big heel turn joining uh joining Don Cal's family by having him lose on television every week for like eight straight weeks right um uh and uh he ran up and got koed and then the Big Show stood there silently unmoving hands didn't even do his like choke slam pose no do like a boxer stance to indicate the the KO punch was coming for for Hobbs or or uh or whoever like no he just kind of stood there unmoving staring off into a distance looked like every step he took to caused him tremendous pain legs bent at an ungodly angle why is why are his leg shaped like that I don't like what Happ like so he had like two matches in aw he wrestled QT Marshal on a pay-per-view I think it's the Punk's first match he wrestles QT Marshall on that show and then he had like a squash match on dark because they did a television in like his home state of South Carolina and he did like a lot of local promotion to get people in the building and he so they gave him like a two-minute squash on dark or whatever I think those are his only matches in uh in aw and then he got like a hip surgery or something and he wasn't even on the road for several months and he's like he's got to be close to 60 right like he's closer to 60 and 50 by now right no I think he's still closer to 50 than 6 so he's like Jericho's age maybe let me uh he's 51 years old that's true it's just because he's been on television for 36 years but he was pretty young I guess when he got started yeah he uh he uh debuted in what 95 he signed he signed in 94 but debuted in 95 or something something along those lines he debuted in 95 so he's been on TV for almost 30 years but uh oh my God yes he is anyway what are we doing yeah he'll be 52 in February and we've talked I mean for years on this show we've talked about you know the the Paul Haymon theory of you can have a legend that can still go on your show and you shouldn't beat them all the time you should make them feel like a big deal but when you have 10 of those guys and also they can't still go that's when you feel like TNA in 2010 when you're just bringing in guys because they're they used to have name value because they used to be somebody and you're just throwing them on your show hoping they they make your show feel more important and uh again like I said I'd rather i' I'm more interested because I just want to see if this if Paul White at this point there's a morbid curiosity uh can he do anything uh can he walk is he going to hit the ropes and and and run at all like I want to see what this what they what they could do so I'm more curious to see him in the ring than I am Jericho but I don't really want to see either of them I guess it's what I keep coming back to there's also the thing that we talk about with Jericho all the time which is uh he's out of ideas and he just does constant self-referential BS uh which yes this is the latest uh uh uh example of that as he's trademarked the term jerish show a team tag team name for 14 years ago that people didn't remember until this week and uh but the thing is uh and Jericho of all people who has patterned a lot of himself after Hogan not uh not character-wise but just like the way he promotes himself and never says no to an interview and anyway should realize that Hulk Hogan got like an extra five six years out of his career by uh popping in and out and uh Hogan would come in and he would work for he would work a program and then they'd ask him to do a job and his back would start to hurt and he would go home for six months right it's like yes and uh Hogan showing up worked until 20 until he physically in WWE until he physically could not do any more matches right right it's like it worked every time it worked when he came in and did the program in and did the run and got the title in 2002 and they got a wrestle disappointing WrestleMania match but a WrestleMania match out of him and Vince and A3 and then he started to get still and they did the Mr America thing and then they fell out of her money and he went home for a year and a half and then he came back and he did the Sha program and it was awesome yeah and then he went away again didn't didn't do no jobs for sea and then he came back and he beat Orton and that was it but he got you know what is it 023 he didn't do anything in 04 but you know he got five extra Years anyway maybe Edge and Christian and The Big Show and Jericho and the guys should be not weakly characters correct maybe and and Jericho himself you could say like his his last seven years in WWE he was in and out he'd be in for six months and then leave and then come back for the rumble or Mania or whatever like he was pretty smart I mean he I think he said that himself he's like I started to realize I was more over the less I was on television yes so maybe take your own advice and I know aw was a different company at the start you maybe you they needed to build around Jericho they did not have as many options as they do now of people they can build around but yes I think we have evolved past a need for Chris Jericho or a lot of these guys as you just said uh to be weekly weekly television characters you could pick two and have them be weekly television characters for a while and then maybe they you cycle them out and and then the other guys can come in and you just that's then you can keep having your one ful variety show yeah yeah and uh maybe Ric Flair should just go home Al together I I guess you get to make Ric Flair toys and sell shirts and uh and and whatever but like what value is Ric Flair bringing to a wrestling company outside of WWE who you know has that marketing Blitz and you know owns all his footage right what value does a Ric Flair in 2023 and a company that can't as you said utilize any any footage of him from before this year other than I guess his last match footage maybe Conrad I'll cut him a deal on that uh what else what what value does does he bring to your to your company other than if say maybe the owner of uh of the company was just just like a big fan of his and always wanted to hang out with him I I have no answer for you okay have an energy drink does have an energy drink I don't know if you've heard it's it's mushroom based and mushroom infused yes right and it comes in many flavors there's a wonderful variety pack uh that's the only reason I brought this up is because I I thought of wonderful variety pack like eight hours ago and I was just like I gotta figure a way to work this in but uh yes he's got a he's got an energy drink that he's Hawking uh I don't know if this is an addition to or instead of uh Rick flame Ric Flair's famous woo wings uh uh or or his his CBD deal that he had or whatever else he's sold over the years I just I it's a good deal for Rick I'm sure find to find somebody that'll give him a steady paycheck but yeah I don't uh I I don't see what value this creates or certainly what having him on your television show with any regularity will uh will do for you this is this is the this is the audience again we don't know the audience in the building firstus the audience that actually watches the television show but the audience in the buildings buo a mention of Hulk Hogan two weeks ago or three weeks ago right it's like generally speaking not that you know Hogan fans and flut fans have always been very different but at this in this day and age uh you just think old whenever you hear either of those names and it's like this is an audience that isn't particularly interested in seeing Ric Flair it's like and and and thinks he's problematic the way that they think Hogan is problematic so what are we doing here it's toned deaf among all the other issues with it yeah I I don't I don't know man well so sandwich complimented you is something else you like about the yes uh I really enjoyed uh hikaro slapping the pillow out of the Japanese Deathmatch Legend Luther's hands uh and and then hitting a big running knee on Tony storm who was for some reason just sitting sitting down on the ramp um I thought that was a pretty funny I thought the match she had was good but more importantly the bit where the the succession of images of sheto walking up to uh Luther slap slapping the pillow the pillow going flying Luther running after the pillow and then her running up the stage and kneeing Tony storm in the face uh was uh was great was genuinely really great so that's my it's my other thumb up from Dynamite this week every everyone was good in that segment because as sheeta is approaching to hit her running knee on Tony Tony like inexplicably it drops her hands yes like oh hello dear just just so that cheetah could hit her in the face with her knee yes it was great awesome H and uh look they I don't trust everyone's intentions like they' just managed to put Tony storm on TV in her underwear every week uh there's worse things you could do um but uh it's wildly ENT yeah you could could dump pieses on her head or something instead she I don't quite get the thing where she bites into an orange either or she like bites into a bites into a a piece of fruit with the skin I don't I don't get that yeah I don't know if that's like a specific reference to a old film or something that I'm not aware of but it is uh it is wacky yeah that it is again part of a wonderful variety pretty sure okay uh anything else you want to get into no I think that uh that about wraps this up it's uh it's just an interesting time in wrestling where um WWE is once again running a show a propaganda show for the Saudi Arabian government and uh the the the wrestling company that had the worst uh PR week was uh was the other guy that's that's pretty incredible yeah yeah it is all right well until next time everyone I'm Ethan and I'm Liam we'll be back soon with more stories from the wrestling life [Music] bye-bye thanks for listening don't forget to leave us a five star review on Apple podcasts now here are this week's bonus features how much time did you spend thinking about Paul White's nipples today um more than anyone should I decided that you know I was going to put him in the thumbnail for the YouTube version and I was like well I can't get just like nice Studio PNG of Big Show or Paul White in a suit or something I have to get this image of Paul White so I spent like 15 minutes uh at work today just editing out the background so I could put nice tger old Paul White nice His Arms by his sides unmoving giant under his eyes with his erect nipples hanging out of his singlet H for posterity sake no one should forget no snipples if nothing else this show is g to be a time capsule you can one day go back and look at the YouTube channel and uh just look at the thumbnails and the titles and see oh here's what was happening and hopefully more specifically oh here's the shtick we were doing M you know when we when I was uh flying a few weeks ago I I opened my podcast app because I downloaded a couple episodes of one of the pods I listen to to listen on the flame and I saw that at some point I had downloaded one of our episodes and it was from like January of 21 maybe it was a long time ago okay um maybe even older than that might have been January of 20 because I don't think it was during Co rest but somehow we were talking about it was whenever CM Punk yelled at The Miz and told him to go suck a blood Money covered dick yes and we were talking about how perhaps the wrestling business is not is not the best fit for Phil like well we weren't wrong about how he uh will take the you know the slightest provocation as an excuse to go uh scorched Earth on a person yes and how he's a man of many contradictions and he complains about Saudi blood money but takes Fox's money yes yes we definitely talked about that too um yeah you know the more things change I didn't listen to the whole thing but I I like when I hit play that's what we were talking about I was like oh all right well as usual one of us is always right about whatever we're talking about that is fantastic uh um nipple shields for paway could have it could be it could be branded they could say no more BS on them tremendous uh you could be for the woo energy drink that's right just have woo on nipples nipples just cover them bad boys up all right children watch this show for God's sake you you pointed out there was a time maybe in his last match or whatever where he had a more zipped up single right he had like the MVP zipper thing where the chest is all covered and just the arms are exposed not not this week he dug out one of the old Big Show singlets and he's like I can in this one I wore in 2011 no you can't Paul and you shouldn't I try to keep on keep

Giles here in Edinburgh Michael Matheson is meeting the Scottish council of jewish communities this afternoon what is very clear is that the reaction to the events in Paris the shock the sorrel the anger and the fear is shared by those of all faiths and none just as it's a shared throughout this chamber and in every community across Scotland and around the woot the terrorists who committed these atrocities and pilots claim to be Muslims but in truth terrorism has no religion the evil actions of these terrorists do not speak for Islam instead they are a perversion of that faith and a deep insult to the millions across the world who had here peacefully to its values the attacks in Paris like all acts of terrorism when intended to spread fear and undermine our way of life they were also meant to be divisive to drive a wedge into communities and societies and turn neighbor against neighbor it is of course presiding officer a normal and an entirely understandable human instinct to be anxious and fearful and light of what happened on Friday night we all feel it governments must recognize and address these concerns and I give a commitment today that this government will do so but we must also together as a society resist the instinct to retreat or to turn on each other if we are determined as we must be that the terrorists will not prevail then difficult and challenge lewitt undoubtedly is a response must be one of defiance and solidarity naught of fear and division the actions of the few must not be allowed to undermine the values the freedoms and the way of life of the many today Scotland des welcoming refugees from Syria other parts of the UK will do likewise over the next few weeks and let me be clear people across Scotland and the UK have every right to seek and receive assurances from their governments that robust security checks are being carried out and that Public Safety is not being compromised but here in Scotland and across the UK I think that we should also feel proud that we are providing refuge for some of the most vulnerable individuals who are fleeing for safety from the type of people who carried out the attacks in Paris on Friday night we should be confident that Scotland will benefit from their presence just as we have benefited so often in the past when we have welcomed people from around the world and we should reflect once again that diversity is not a weakness it is one of modern Scotland's great strengths trading officer today is an opportunity for this chamber to support that diversity and also to demonstrate a wider solidarity we grieve deeply for those in Paris who lost their lives and we stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends in France we remember to those who have been the victims of terror elsewhere including the 224 people who died when a Russian airliner was brought down in Egypt last month and would reaffirm today our unshakeable commitment to a peaceful secure multicultural and tolerant Scotland the kind of society that the terrorists want to destroy but one which we are determined to uphold to cherish and to protect setting off said I move the motion in my name chaotic dill said no sir I thank the First Minister for her words amid like to associate myself with them in their entirety on behalf of the Scottish Labour Party I would also like to send on my condolences thoughts and prayers to those caught in the attacks in Paris I'm to the people of France on Friday evening people across that city set out to enjoy the ordinary freedom of their weekend in restaurants and bars at sporting events and music concerts just as we did in Edinburgh and Glasgow just as others did in towns and cities across the world what happened on Friday night wasn't just an attack on the people of Paris but on the way of life of those of us who want to live in a world marked by the values of freedom and tolerance so we share the grief of the people of Paris the world stands with them as they take their first tentative steps on the road to recovery there are lots of views about how the world should respond to these attacks and in this place we can influence how we respond as a society the French Nobel prize-winning philosopher Albert Camus summed it up well when he wrote the only way to deal with an unfree world as they become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion earlier today I read the story of a Frenchman whose wife was killed in the attacks he writes about how he and a 17 month old son will remain defiant in the face of Terror he says we are only two my son and I but we are more powerful than all of the world's armies every day of his life this little boy will insult you with his happiness and his freedom resign also the death and destruction the senseless acts of terror and violence they have one ultimate goal and that's to fundamentally change our society to transform us from a society that values tolerance integration solidarity and freedom into one that rejects all of those things we are a nation that considers all people to be born equal and deserving of respect regardless of sexuality gender race faith or disability so when the first of the refugees from Syria arrived in glasgow today let's welcome them with open and loving arms let's look at them just as we do those Parisians who fled the violence on Friday evening people like you and I who don't want to live in fear of constant violence families you just want to get on with their lives because they have traveled halfway across the world to get away from terrorists in their own land often driven by the fear that lies behind them over the road ahead so from this chamber to those refugees arriving today let the message ring out you will find friendship in your new home here in Scotland and please know that you are very very welcome thank you Ruth Davidson thank you providing officer deputy consul-general may extend my condolences and the condolences of my party to the families of those who died or injured on Friday night our prayers are with them today we stand in solidarity with all the people of Paris we share their disgust what were acts of cowardice and evil and we share their fear too because we know that this could it be not eating a meal at a restaurant enjoying a night at a concert watching a game of football if ever we needed it it was a reminder that this conflict is not one we choose to take part in it is one that is upon us whether we wish it or not presenting officer this motion today calls on us to unite in the wake of these attacks that indeed is the vital task we face in the coming weeks not just here in Scotland but across the civilized world we face an extremist ideology which hopes to divide us Muslim from non-muslim secular from religious in the hope that the gap becomes so white that conflict is the only response we cannot we must not let the extremists win rather we must confront them ensure that those very freedoms that they wish to crush to wipe from our lives and from our world our freedoms that we will not give up willingly the plurality diversity creativity of free nations stand in stark contrast to those who would murder aid workers throw gay men from buildings or stone women in the public square a resolve must be to use both hard and soft power to protect these freedoms both will be vital ensuring that we have it within us to take on extremism and the extremists who would export it to our shores as the prime minister said last night military power and counterterrorism will only ever get us so far vital as they are more important is to understand and address the hatred underpinning Friday's attacks and others like them we should not kid ourselves or worse seek to blame ourselves for what is behind this new threat indeed it is simple it is an ideology driven to crush values of freedom of liberty and of equality which we all in this chamber hold dear the motion today which I'm proud to support calls on us to ensure the acts of terrorism will not succeed in dividing us or destroying those freedoms and that must be our response to show that all of us Muslim and non-muslim secular religious stand resolute in exposing this poisonous ideology for what it is a sham cult preying on a mature young minds designed only to saw hatred and to shed blood we must confront all those that seek to embed its poison in our society and we must as the first minister says encourage moderate Muslim voices and Scotland and abroad to show the world that it is not these extremists who have ownership of their faith but then for all of us the message is clear to sit out this conflict by failing to stand up for our values is to fail it is to fail ourselves and fail every other human who looks to the freedoms that we enjoy with logging and hope for their own lives we will not be cowed nor limits ourselves and the joys that they seek to curb no matter how many more attacks we will conduct ourselves with confidence with vigor and with boldness in our free worship in our free will and our football matches our concerts and our restaurants we stand united always Willie Rennie the city of love is wounded by heat today to Paris we send our love to help it heal of course we are afraid we saw the fear of people in Paris on Friday and so we can imagine the fear of the refugees fleeing the barbarity of those same killers back home of course we must tread with care across the world yet western governments did not have it coming nothing justifies this of course there is no then these colors do not represent the Muslim faith Muslim countries or Muslim people or anything else good and Noble these colors only represent themselves of course something must be done yet we must protect what we cherish most and what they detest most our freedom we must not sure our progressive liberal free society so this is no time for haste revenge insularity or generalizations we must be resolute this is a time to grieve to heal to plan to solve and to unite Patrick Harvie Thank You presiding officer may I extend the support of the greener independent group for the motion of condolence today every single one of us will have felt the shock as the news emerged on Friday evening but also the wave of empathy across Europe and the world in the wake of these terrible events we mourn with those who have lost people close to them we express our concern for the was critically injured and still fighting for their lives we extend our solidarity with Paris and Parisians and we will oppose not only the criminals responsible for this latest atrocity but also the twisted ideology they follow the 129 deaths in Paris add to a gruesome tally of the atrocities committed in the name of that ideology not least the series of attacks in France in January including the Charlie Hebdo offices the countless deaths in Syria and the wider region the sexual violence on a mass scale with unknown thousands of women and girls abducted into sexual slavery the torture mutilation and summary executions often most noticed when perpetrated against Western victims or used as propaganda weapons but in truth happening on a vast scale mass murder including and groans of religion the Paris attacks came in the same week as reports of yet another mass grave of UCD women in Sinjar and just a day after 41 people were killed in a double suicide bombing in Beirut every single one of these lives matters today's motion offers our condolences but also our solidarity this is critical these desire these attacks are designed to strike not just at individuals but at the very nature of our societies they are designed to provoke a backlash to provoke the mindless reaction we tragically already seen in parts of Scotland to drive more disaffected an angry young people who experience anti-islamic prejudice every day of their lives into the arms of the terrorists we must deny them the backlash they seek liberty equality these are the values which should be at the heart of European society and they are under direct attack there are values which must be protected and extended as we prepare to welcome those who have been forced to flee this violence and in memory of those who have been lost in the attacks in Paris we must live by those values as never before Kristen a lot thank you very much presenting your facade to let me send you a few words and fewer should be a thank you thank you to this chamber to everybody you spoke already and thank you to all the communities in Scotland and all the Scottish people were assembled in Aberdeen in Glasgow in ND borrow and not across the communities supporting a community which is very close to to me the French communities living here in Scotland and some of them are living and working here working here in Parliament and I just wanted to convey how much we appreciate your support as a simple beginning of the answer support now and particular this weekend it's very very much heartfelt it's very much appreciated and from the bottom of my heart I would say from them from hell all cities and French citizen

RRJ-CsMhb34	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRJ-CsMhb34	How to Install Rock Guards on a C7 Corvette from Extreme Online Store	[Music] today we're going to be installing Rock guards on a C7 Corvette [Music] hey everybody welcome back to the channel my name is Scott and today we're going to be installing Rock guards on a C7 Corvette from extreme online store now um these are probably going to be one of the easiest installations that you've ever done and we've got it up on a lift here today to be able to show you where the screws are located but you do not need a lift you don't even need a Jack to be able to put these up okay so you're going to be able to put these on in your garage or in your driveway very very simply with a seven millimeter socket okay but we've got it up in the air just so you guys can see it so they're all held on by Springs spring clips and I'm going to show you that here in a second and there's one screw at the in the front and the back on these and that's all there is to it so they're very very simple to install so we're going to jump into the video right now this is going to be a very short video um but it's very very simple and a great a great mod very inexpensive great mod for you to do on your Corvette to protect the side of your car everybody's always doing stuff you know putting side skirts and all this other stuff on the car but they don't ever think to be able to protect it from rocks so um so just sit back and relax we're going to show you how you put these things on okay all right guys this is going to be a real simple installation and we've got it on the lift just to be able to show you guys where everything's at but you don't have to do this on on a lift you can do this on the ground okay so um you would just need a seven seven millimeter wrench or socket to reach underneath here there's one screw underneath here that allows this to come loose so I'm just going to take it this right right from here you can see right there this one right here I'm going to pull that screw out just like so at that point I'm just going to set my drill down and then you can just reach underneath here and you can pop it loose okay just like that now you can see here they're just put on by clips okay so we're just going to reverse the order so we're just going to grab the grab the new uh a new rock guard okay you've noticed there's a clip right here this clip and move the tire a little bit so you can see a little bit better do you see this little slot right here so all you're going to do is you're just going to take this take this right here you're going to put it into that slot and you're just going to line up your holes into the slots in the car okay once you get that all lined up you can see right here you can pull it right here on the side you can see that they just line up make sure that they're in there okay and then at that point you can push and just start tapping them in like so that's all there is to that we're just going to go ahead and we're going to put the screw back in place okay and the front one's done okay so we're going to go back to the back I'm just going to straighten that out and we'll go back to the back we'll do the back ones okay so guys we're on the back and we're just gonna head and we're gonna do basically the same thing we did on the the front side except the rear ones don't have that little tab that we were talking about so this one's actually a little bit easier there's actually three screws underneath here but all we're going to do is we're just going to loosen these two okay we don't have to take those out but we're going to take this one right here we have to take that one out okay so we'll take that out and then we'll just pull this loose like so the side and then we're going to go and put this one in okay so this again I'm gonna get it right back in the slot where it goes and then you're just gonna kind of guide these in to the slots so you're not you know you know they're going to fit in there first before you force them in and then you can just push them in like so you have to gotta wiggle them in there just a little bit like that you can see that fits in there just like a glove see that fits in there really nice and then all you've got is you've just got your one seven millimeter screw that you're going to put back in the bottom here just like that we're gonna snug up the other two and that's all there is to putting on the Rock guards on a C7 it's very very simple and it makes a big difference okay and that's it guys all right guys that was as simple as you can get as far as installations go so if you're in the market for some rock arts for your car you know exactly where to go go to extreme online store and they will be able to help you out so you can get a complete set of those from extreme online and I'm going to go ahead and put that information right here on the screen and like I said they're very very simple installation like you just saw um it's very simple it probably doesn't take more probably takes more time to get your tools out than it does to put these on so um guys I just want to thank you guys all for watching

9tFtfOqOqNw	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tFtfOqOqNw	Letters From Father Christmas by J. R. R. Tolkien \| Books & Doodles	foreign I'm not Juliana I'm Juliana and in today's video I'm going to talk to you about a book that is from JRR talking and is um a little something to commemorate Christmas so first of all let me wish you a very merry Christmas I don't know if you celebrate celebrated yesterday or today but today is Christmas day and I wanted to post something about Christmas and I had this book in here for since last year and but last year I didn't have the time to read it so I keep kept it to this year so I could do a video about it and the book that I'm talking about is Letters From Father Christmas as you can see from talking so this is my first talking I never have read anything from him this is in English so I bought an English edition because I want to read the works by Chris by Christopher no by J.R.R Tolkien in English so this what is this book this book is a gathering of letters that talking wrote to his children they were four so they were let me see here Jean Michael Christopher and Priscilla and this goes from let me check in here so the first letter came in 1920 and it goes to 1943 so every year talking would write [Music] um as if it was Father Christmas or as we know today Santa Claus um to his children and some in some letters in here we don't have the year exactly or do we because sometimes no we have but sometimes let me show you so as you can see here we have the year up in here and then we have the letter and we have pictures of the real letters that Tolkien wrote foreign and talking would draw as well to his children in the letters let me show you some like this one like this foreign he was a drawer to talking and his drawings are really how can I explain it they have a type of it's like they have a signature so you look at the drawing and you know it's from talking you know and so in here we have [Music] letters that are talking about uh the lives of the children so things that are happening in their lives if they when well as this is from so I think talking began writing these letters when his older son was three years old so he began this tradition when they were really young right small children and he talks in here about I hope you learn to write and read so he accompanies their growing and sometimes it directs the letters to uh one of his children in specific other times it speaks to all of them to the four of them um and in here father Christmas says that he has a helper a right hand that is the polar bear and sometimes that polar bear bear also writes some lines in the letters and he let me if I can find it so as in this example we have [Music] um the lines from Father Christmas on the top and then at how involved we have the lines from polar bear so and you can see here that in the original he the letters from Talking are really colorful and in different type of writing oh another feature in here and so sometimes he will write really small letters most of them the first ones he would say oh I don't have time this year I'm really busy I hope you're well I hope you have a Merry Christmas so and the letter will will end like that and in others he will do really long letters talking about he the work that he was having and sometimes he would complain that he wouldn't receive so much so many letters from children as he used to because in here although we don't have the letters from the children so the children of talking we can understand that the children would write to Father Christmas and sometimes his letters would be in response to the letters of the children and in some years we could from the letters from Father Christmas right we will assume that the children weren't so up to it so they wouldn't write a letter to Father Christmas and Father Christmas would speak about it so say oh I'm so sorry that so and so didn't write to me this year and we could see the the progression of the as the years would go by so he would direct his letters to the youngest of the children you know what I mean so we could we can see um the progression through the years of maybe the distancing of the older children from that mysticism and magic of Christmas and one letter in particular Father Christmas does rhymes I think is too Priscilla um so we have a panoply of uh subjects talked in here so he would complain about goblings that they were traveling his work and sometimes the polar bear would disappear or something will happen in something and someone will get hurt and the the work of Father Christmas would be delayed so some things like that so things about the Father Christmas work so every Christmas um complaints about the children not writing to him as much things about the lives of the children uh the children are not talking so this is a heartwarming compilation um we could see that talking would you know um stimulate the the magic of Christmas in his children so I think the idea of talking was to keep the Christmas spirit alive in his children and he would do this every year and do drawings so he had he invested in this project you know so and I think as a father that's really beautiful how you invest in your children and you promote the magic in their lives so it's adorable and I really loved reading it and especially as this is in English this is a great [Music] opportunity to train and practice your English so I really advise you to buy this book in English so you can have have it in the original and read it in the original that's one and two to practice so this is really accessible and it's really simple language and for you know the holidays and a really cozy reading I think you will love it um yeah it's not uh complicated you know this is a really straightforward book because this is Letters From a father disguising as Father Christmas to his children so there's nothing complicated to it it's really straightforward and but really adorable and um yeah my project of reading talking is delayed because I wanted to read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings this year but I didn't have the time because I'm I have an idea to do a reading project but in a different type of way so nothing that never was done before or anything I'm not saying that but I was thinking of doing videos of like according to the number of pages do certain chapters and do a video like um joint reading where you could read together with me I will do a schedule for us to read those books and each each week or every other week I will do a video about the chapter that we have read uh and we could have a discussion in the comments and I also researched about books that are from um people that study Lord of the Rings and I think that will be added value to the reading the joint reading and I'm thinking of adding them to the reading project but I don't know when I will do this I don't know if I'm going to have time for next year because if I'm going to do this this would get this would apply to me to um obeying the the coronogram so the schedule and I have to have time to do that but if this is something that you are interested in please let me know in the comments I would really love to know if I have you know other people that would be interested in accompanying me reading The Hobbit Lord Lord of the Rings and probably the silmarillion I'm not sure if I'm going to add more or not but maybe The Hobbit Lord of the Rings and the silmarillion and the other books about Lord of the Rings that I talked about that I'm going to I'm not going to say here which books I'm talking about because I want to talk about this more deeply in a specific video in the future perhaps um and I don't remember the titles as well so um but you know that's a idea that I have and I really love to know if you are interested in it have you read Lord of the Rings if you didn't why don't you read with me I think and even if you have bread maybe you could reread together with me and participate in the comments like your thoughts about each chapter and the meanings behind the story so yeah but I don't know exactly when I'm going to do this but if you have interested in it I'm probably could do it next year maybe in the summer or something when I have a bit more time so yeah so please let me know about this idea please let me know if you have read letters from Father Christmas and what you have thought I wish you a really happy Christmas I hope you are gathered with your families and in the warm in the warmth of your house and if in this Christmas you are not together with your family I hope you are celebrating together with someone that you love and yeah I Merry Christmas so I see you in the next video please subscribe to my channel if you haven't subscribed already don't forget to press the ring bell

crap it's gotten cold so all right we'll see you guys on up the trail [Music] just took a little break at the mile and a half rest house yay only a mile and a half to go [Music] [Applause] so that down there is where we came from and it came down and around and back up this is where we're going over here and all the way up all those switchbacks we got probably about 1500 more feet of incline you can see where we have to get up to [Music] about a half mile to go just got to get up to that top of that cliff right there that's it just right up there [Music] last turn tenth of a mile to go [Music] what do you think i am so happy to see the top rim to rim to rim five days four nights i think we're at about 53 miles i'm gonna go get a huge hamburger drink a big beer and fall asleep for about 48 hours yeah i'd definitely take a shower so just shy at 53 miles 52 and a half miles but now we get to walk a half mile to the car i am exhausted that push-up out of that canyon is just tough at both sides north end's tougher but either side is just gut-wrenching all right thanks for coming along we'll see you guys on the next adventure okay so we went from one extreme to another from living in a 42 inch by 72 inch tent to spending the night at the venetian in vegas and this is our room come in the foyer have a wet bar with the dining room the bedroom tracy getting everything ready because we're supposed to go out to dinner tonight for her birthday with the bathroom tub shower you can see into the living room there [Music] come out walk down there's the office like i'm gonna do a lot of work the living room and then here's our view [Music] got the mirage there treasure island there trump tower there and the palazzo yeah completely opposite end of living in a tent for the last five days this is awesome [Music] [Applause] [Music] you	Trailheads and Terminus	UCerTfLREeyMt-cIrSjgnT4g	2021-02-06	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

C4HDbAsInhs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4HDbAsInhs	Kingdom Monera Protista & Fungi(Sr.Secondary)	[Music] dear learners welcome to the National Institute of open schooling today I am going to talk about Kingdom Pratap Chester and Kingdom franchise now I'll talk about kingdom Protista I mentioned earlier the kingdom protect ISTA is also known as Protista and just like ma neurons they two are unicellular organism if there are unicellular organisms then why are they not placed under monitoring's yes they are not placed under moderates because they are eukaryotic cell eukaryotic means they contain the cell organelles and a well-defined nucleus in the cytoplasm that is they have membrane bound organelles mitochondria lysosomes Golgi apparatus etc they have a protoplasmic grade of organization and just like ma neurons these are also microscopic they cannot be seen with a naked eye locomotion in these product assistants is either by flagella or cilia or pseudopodia and reproduction is either a sexual or sexual just like the Minoans they too have a diversified nutritional mode they can either be autotrophic or saprophytic or parasitic or they can be they can feed on other organisms kingdom Protista includes six final phylum protozoa phylum bacilli REO fighter which includes all the diet ins phylum where you fighter which includes the brown algae phylum chlorophyta which includes chlorella phylum Rudo vitae which includes redlg final omekata which includes phyto through our phylum protozoa is divided into four classes class rice o poder rise o poder include all those organisms which move about with the help of pseudopodia example is amoeba class flatulate as the name suggests flageolet beans whip-like so this class includes all the organism which move about with the help of flagella example is Euglena phylum protozoa also includes class silly ater silly ater as the name suggests moves about with the help of cilia for example Paramecium there are the examples that we are all aware of is Plasmodium and since they live in the body of the host and do not move about they are grouped under group sporos OA here in the diagram you can see three beautiful protozoans amoeba Paramecium and flagella and what difference do you see in all these three diagrams you see that in the first one that is amoeba it is irregular in shape and you can see the flowing extensions of the cytoplasm which is nothing else but pseudopodia so it belongs to the class rise of Buda and moves about with the help of pseudopodia pseudopodia also helps this animal in capturing the prey and forming a food vacuole where food is finally digested and given out into the cytoplasm and to carry on the various activities of life the excretion in them is not required because they live in water but they do have a a small regulatory mechanism which is carried out by the contractile vacuole you cleaner has got a bit like flajolet the rajala that you saw in the case of the moderates but there is a tremendous difference between the structure of the monahons and the eukaryotic flagella so both of them have flagella for movement but the structure is different in both yoga Lena are autotrophs and can manufacture their own food and as you can see in the diagram they contain chloroplast which contains chlorophyll which is required for the synthesis of their own food in the presence of sunlight they have got a certain mouth unlike the amoeba where the food is taken up by forming a food vacuole with the help of pseudopodia here you find there is a mouth or a situs tome which leads into a gullet and then the food is pinched off into the body as food vacuole Paramecium where the whole body is covered by Celia so the movement here is brought about by these cilia also the difference between amoeba euglena and Paramecium is that Paramecium contains two nuclei one is the micro nucleus and other is the macro nucleus the micro nucleus is reproductive in nature whereas macro nucleus is vegetative Chlamydomonas has got flagella and it can also move about with the help of this flagella as you can see in the case of Euglena that the nutrition in them is diversified as you find in the case of mana rates and we have already talked about the different modes of nutrition they can either be parasitic as I have said that the parasitic once will live inside the body of the host for example is Trypanosoma Leishmania and can cause diseases less pania causes colours are with a strep a no soma causes sleeping sickness in human beings they can be autotrophs for example you Gleaner which can manufacture its own food with the help of chlorophyll they can be sorrowful tech or they can be heterotroph just like in the case of mana rains here also you will find that production is either sexual or asexual asexual reproduction takes place by binary fission so it is the nucleus which is first dividing followed by the cytoplasm a constriction appears in the middle which deepens that is a furrow appears in the middle as you can see in the diagram which further deepens and ultimately the two ma Bay are formed sexual reproduction is also found in some of the Protestants for example you find sexual reproduction and Paramecium it will by conjugation in case of Paramecium you will find that two paramecia they come close together and a protoplasmic bridge is formed between the two as you can see in the diagram exchange of genetic material takes place through this protoplasmic bridge remember exchange that is from one paramesha genetic material would move to the other it is not one going into the other it is both ways and further my otic division etc takes place so here you find that although sexual reproduction is taking place it is different from the higher forms in that the two whole individuals are involved in reproduction I would now talk about fungi as I have already said that some of them may be macroscopic can you think of any macroscopic fungi I'm sure some of you must have it is the mushroom why because some of us must be eating the mushrooms but all mushrooms are not edible some of them are poisonous also so we should be careful of what mushroom we are taking so these mushrooms are macroscopic otherwise the majority of the fungi are micro skopic they are filamentous in nature and I'm made up of hyphy except for yeast which is oval in shape or round in shape you can say these hyphae are fine branching and they are usually colorless threads now when these hyphae are joined together or they form a cluster then they are known as mycelium now these mycelium if they are in cluster then why is it that we are not able to see them next time when you go to the market or when your mother brings mushroom or those who don't eat the mushroom can go to the market pick up on my show the moment you turn the mushroom you will be able to see these high fail or you will be able to see these mycelium and therefore because these hyphae are small in size we are not able to see them these I feel are found hidden in food they are hidden in soil they are hidden in rotting wood so what do we conclude from this we conclude that they are found everywhere so you can found their diversified in their habit you can find them in all the niches the nutrition in - is only by absorption they can absorb the glucose very easily and they are sorrowful they feed on the dead decaying organic matter as you can see here there's something coming out body of the fan child what is this these are enzymes so these enzymes are known as siamese now these i means they break down the complex sugar like sucrose which can be not be taken up by these small organisms so sucrose is broken down into glucose and then the glucose is absorbed into the body in other words the food is absorbed by these vijaya some of the fungi are also parasitic and can cause diseases yeast is a very good example of sacrifice upon joy which can absorb glucose reproduction in them is both asexual as well sexual asexual reproduction is by budding fission and spore formation now there is no uniqueness in the budding method of reproduction in panjang a bud appears grows in size constriction appears and it detaches itself from the mother cell and leads a independent existence this is what is by budding a constriction appears or a break in the body appears and the two separates from each other not all the fungi are useful there are harmful fungi as well they cause diseases today the few a cleats foot ringworm disease you find this ring down disease which are very common during the rainy season or due to the hot summer months you also find that these fungi can cause harm to the plants that for example it causes red rush disease in week which is patches on the leaves and the stem of the wheat crop as a result of which the yield of wheat is reduced and if this wheat which has been contaminated by the fungi is eaten it can cause cancer even in human beings today we have talked about the kingdom monera product ISTA and fungi and I hope the three kingdoms a crystal clear to you people and you can now identify the various animals that can be grouped into the three kingdoms thank you [Music] dear learners welcome to the National Institute of open schooling today I am going to talk about kingdom monera but before I start with this let us recall about this kingdom you have already learned in the previous lessons that it was written in 1969 who classified the various organisms into five kingdom kingdom monera kingdom protect esta or Protista kingdom Franchi kingdom Plantae and kingdom Animalia and he did this because there are diversified organisms which are found on this beautiful planet Earth so in order to differentiate each one of them he grouped them into certain groups depending upon the similarities and differences the moderates were the first organisms that came on this earth these are prokaryotic unicellular organisms whereas all others are eukaryotic product destined or Protista there are unicellular but they are eukaryotic that is the cell organelles are defined and are enclosed by a membrane Plantae Animalia and such I on the other hand are all multicellular organisms they are eukaryotes initially the fungi was placed along with the plant II but because they are not differentiated into the three distinct regions blue stem and the plant body that is there is no differentiation of the plant body therefore they were grouped separately into signal fan choy the plant II as you all know can manufacture their own food animals are heterotroph so Whitaker grouped these into five kingdoms later it was also found that since these prokaryotic materials were the first one to exist on this earth they were known as archaea bacteria and they included two groups one was archaea bacteria and the other was you bacteria now the anti bacterial are the true bacteria archaea bacteria are the primitive ones that can survive under extreme conditions of the environment now ultimate tyria these include all the bacteria they that occur under harsh conditions for example metagenic bacteria they live in the sea which in fact these are the ones which are used for the sea which treatment they are also found in the intestinal tract of cows Thermal acidophilic bacteria live in Hot Springs on the contrary Hal of philic bacteria they live in the salty lakes and rivers let us see the various eubacteria as you can see here they are of different colors shapes etc so these eubacteria they include all the microscopic organisms they are prokaryotes prokaryotes that the cell organelles in them like mitochondria Golgi apparatus endoplasmic reticulum etc are absent in them and they do not have a well-defined nucleus they include the bacteria and blue-green algae the blue-green algae are now known as sino bacteria there are unicellular organisms that they are single-cell organisms so the moment we say prokaryotic unicellular organism immediately it should come to your mind that we are talking about the bacteria the cyanobacteria that as we are talking about the kingdom monera we are talking about the you bacteria let us now study about the various parts of this ud cellular organism they consists of an outer wall as you can see in the diagram and this is known as the cell wall the cell wall in them is made up of peptidoglycan now this peptidoglycan is unique to the bacteria only and is not found in the plants which also have a cell wall but it is not made up of peptidoglycan below the cell wall lies the cell membrane or the plasma membrane the cell wall protects the cell and also gives its shape in some bacteria as you can see in the diagram it is surrounded by yet another layer which is known as the capsu but that is only in some of the bacteria from the cell wall certain thread-like structures that you see in the diagram the emerging though these are known as pillai and these play an important role in joining the two bacteria during reproduction the cell membrane encloses the cytoplasm and the other structures which are present well-defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane is absent in them therefore this DNA lies in the cytoplasm and is not enclosed by any membrane now the region where this is present is known as the nucleoid this plasmid also reproduces along with the DNA the other DNA but it contains genes for antibiotic resistance and other sex factors and therefore is beneficial for the bacteria where it is present you can see here in the diagram that a long thread-like structure is present which is much thicker than the pill i that i have just told you this is known as flatulence flatulence el organelles are absent in these prokaryotic organism except that they contain ribosomes which are required for protein synthesis dear learners now you can do a little activity which will make you confident and will make you realize that you have understood the concept of a prokaryotic organism you can take a thermo pole or you can take a cardboard and with the help of plasticine you can make a bacterial cell you can use the various strengths of different colors and thickness to show the pillai and the flagella so if the mitochondria is absent in them then how does the cellular respiration takes place in these prokaryotic organisms now this cellular respiration takes place in sir organelles which are known as mrs. ohms you can see these mrs. ohms here in the figure as internal extensions of the plasma membrane so the cellular respiration takes place in these mazes Ohm's in the absence of the mitochondria the respiration otherwise is both anaerobic as well as aerobic reproduction - in these moderates are both by a sexual method as well as sexual method as you can see in the figure the asexual method of reproduction takes place by binary fission the DNA as you can see here replicates first and as the DNA is replicating the bacterial cell starts growing and enlarges in size and once the DNA replication is complete the two DNA moves to the two opposite poles of the bacterial cell a constriction as you can see in the diagram appears in the middle and deepens and finally it results in the formation of two bacterial cells which separate from each other each one is a dotter bacterial cell which has its own DNA and it's capable of independent existence sexual reproduction also takes place in bacteria as you can see here there are two bacteria one of them is known as f+ bacteria and the other one is known as f- bacteria the f+ bacteria contains an F factor which is responsible for the sexual reproduction and this is the one which will give the DNA to the other bacteria which is the f- bacteria the dora bacteria carries a DNA sequence called the fertility factor or the F factor typically the genetic material is in the form of a plasmid or a smaller piece of DNA the F factor in the cell allows this bacteria to produce a pill I as you can see in this figure the pill I which is given out from the bacteria that contains the F factor would form a protoplasmic bridge between the two bacterial plasmid is late and a single strand of DNA is transferred to the recipient bacteria the bacteria that did not contain the F factor both cells then synthesize a complementary strand to produce a double-stranded circular plasmid both the material cells are viable daughters now the genetic material transferred during conjugation provides some genetic advantage to the recipient antibiotic-resistant genes sex factors etc and therefore is more advantageous than the one which is devoid of it you can list out the differences between the asexual and sexual mode of reproduction on a chart paper or you could also make the various steps of the asexual and sexual mode of reproduction with the help of plasticine as you have done earlier on do you know how code is said well you would say that a small amount of curd is added to the mill warm milk that is and then left aside for a couple of hours depending upon the temperature and the curd is safe but what is the scientific basis of it it's basically the lactobacillus which is present which at a particular temperature converts the milk into curd so you see the advantage of this bacteria at some point of the other we all have taken antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor because when we are not well the doctor prescribes is a domotic depending on the disease and do you know that many of these antibiotics are obtained from these bacteria you're all aware of penicillin which was the first one to be discovered which was obtained from a bacteria when a seal 'i'm not eaten we should not forget that many of them are harmful also and can cause various diseases that are typhoid you know that it is caused by taifa bacteria cholera by Vibrio cholerae tetanus diphtheria tuberculosis these are all caused by the various bacteria you can do yet another activity and for this you can take help of your mother you can make a chart of the various diseases caused by bacteria remember only by bacteria the causative agent of this disease the preventive measures and the control now this will help you out to keep these bacteria away so that you are free from all the disease's I hope by now you must have understood the basic concepts of kingdom monera in details about the various systems you will be doing later on [Applause] [Music] Jeeva me a black article made a home for local economy we're not see what it's rayon why me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]	NIOSSeniorSecondaryCourses	UC6R9rI-1iEsPCPmvzlunKDg	2020-08-16	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	3,263	18,362
GvGRyZsMlcQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvGRyZsMlcQ	Benjamin Butler (politician) \| Wikipedia audio article	Benjamin Franklin Butler November 5th 1818 to January 11th 1893 was a Major General of the Union Army politician lawyer and businessman from Massachusetts born in New Hampshire and raised in Lowell Massachusetts Butler is best known as a political Major General of the Union Army during the American Civil War and for his leadership role in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson he was a colorful and often controversial figure on the national stage and in the Massachusetts political scene during his one term as governor Butler a successful trial lawyer served in the Massachusetts legislature as an anti-war Democrat and as an officer in the state militia early in the Civil War he joined the Union Army where he was noted for his lack of military skill and his controversial command of New Orleans which brought him wide dislike in the south and 'no beast epithet he helped create the legal idea of effectively freeing fugitive slaves by designating them as contraband of war in service of military objectives which led to a political groundswell in the north which included general emancipation in the end of slavery as official war goals his commands were marred by financial and logistical dealings across enemy lines some of which probably took place with his knowledge into his financial benefit Butler was dismissed from the Union Army after his failures in the First Battle of Fort Fisher but soon won election to the United States House of Representatives from Massachusetts as a Radical Republican he opposed President Johnson's reconstruction agenda and was the houses lead manager in the Johnson impeachment proceedings as chairman of the House Committee on reconstruction Butler authored the Ku Klux Klan act of 1871 and co-authored the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1875 in Massachusetts Butler was often at odds with more conservative members of the political establishment over matters of both style and substance feuds with Republican politicians led to his being denied several nominations for the governorship between 1858 and 1880 returning to the Democratic fold he won the governorship in the 1882 election with Democratic and greenback party support he ran for president on the greenback ticket in 1884 you topic early years Benjamin Franklin Butler was born in Deerfield New Hampshire the sixth and youngest child of John Butler and Charlotte Ellison Butler his father served under General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans during the war of 1812 and later became a privateer dying of yellow fever in the West Indies not long after Benjamin was born he was named after founding father Benjamin Franklin his elder brother Andrew Jackson Butler 1815 to 1864 would serve as a colonel in the Union Army during the Civil War and joined him in New Orleans Butler's mother was a devout Baptist who encouraged him to read the Bible and prepare for the ministry in 1827 at the age of nine Butler was awarded a scholarship to Phillips Exeter Academy where he spent one term he was described by a schoolmate as a reckless impetuous headstrong boy and regularly got into fights Butler's mother moved the family in 1828 to Lowell Massachusetts where she operated a boarding house for workers at the textile mills he attended the public schools there from which he was almost expelled for fighting the principal describing him as a boy who might be led but could not be driven he attended Waterville now Colby College in pursuit of his mother's wish that he prepare for the ministry but eventually rebelled against the idea in 1836 Butler sought permission to go instead to West Point for a military education but did not receive one of the few places available he continued his studies at Waterville where he sharpened his rhetorical skills in theological discussions and began to adopt Democratic political views he graduated in August 1838 Butler returned to Lowell where he clerked and read law as an apprentice with a local lawyer he was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1840 and opened a practice in Lowell after an extended courtship Butler married Sarah Hildreth a stage actress and daughter of dr. Israel hildreth of Lowell on may 16th 1844 they had four children Paul 1845 to 1850 Blanche 1847 to 1939 Paul 1852 to 1918 and ben-israel 1855 to 1881 Butler's business partners in Sara's brother Fisher and her brother-in-law WP Webster topic law and early business dealings Butler quickly gained a reputation as a dogged criminal defense lawyer who seized on every misstep of his opposition to gain victories for his clients and also became a specialist in bankruptcy law his trial work was so successful that it received regular press coverage and he was able to expand his practice into Boston Butler's success as a lawyer enabled him to purchase shares in Lowell's Middlesex mill company when they were cheap although he generally represented workers in legal actions he also sometimes represented mill owners this adoption of both sides of an issue manifested when he became more politically active he first attracted general attention by advocating the passage of a law establishing a 10-hour day for laborers but he also opposed labor strikes over the matter he instituted a 10 hour work day at the Middlesex Mills topic entry into politics during the debates over the ten hour day a wig supporting Lowell newspaper published a verse suggesting that Butler's father had been hanged for piracy Butler sued the papers editor and publisher for that and other allegations that had been printed about himself the editor was convicted and fined $50 but the publisher was acquitted on a technicality Butler blamed the wig judge Evan easer Rockwood for the acquittal inaugurating a feud between the two that would last for decades and significantly color Butler's reputation in the state Butler as a Democrat supported the compromise of 1850 and regularly spoke out against the abolition of slavery however at the state level he supported the coalition of Democrats and Free Soilers that elected George S Boutwell governor in 1851 this garnered him enough support to win election to the state legislature in 1852 his support for Franklin Pierce's president however cost him the seat the next year he was elected a delegate to the 1853 state constitutional convention with strong Catholic support and was elected to the state Senate in 1858 a year dominated by Republican victories in the state Butler was nominated for governor in 1859 and ran on a pro-slavery Pro tariff platform he narrowly lost to incumbent Republican Nathaniel Prentiss banks in the 1860 Democratic National Convention at Charleston South Carolina Butler initially supported John C Breckinridge for president but then shifted his support to Jefferson Davis believing that only a moderate southerner could keep the Democratic Party from dividing a conversation he had with Davis prior to the convention convinced him that Davis might be such a man and he gave him his support before the convention split over slavery Butler ended up supporting Breckinridge over Douglass against state party instructions ruining his standing with the state party apparatus he was nominated for governor in the 1860 election by a Breckenridge splinter of the state party but trailed far behind other candidates topic civil war although he sympathized with the South Butler stated I was always a friend of southern rights but an enemy of southern wrongs and sought to serve in the Union Army his military career before the Civil War began as a private in the Lowell militia in 1840 Butler eventually rose to become colonel of a regiment of primarily Irish American men in 1855 the nativist know-nothing governor Henry J Gardner disbanded Butler's militia but Butler was elected Brigadier General after the militia was reorganized in 1857 Secretary of War Jefferson Davis appointed him to the Board of Visitors of West Point these positions did not give him any significant military experience topic 1860 after Abraham Lincoln was elected president in November 1860 Butler traveled to Washington DC when the secessionist South Carolina delegation arrived there he recommended to lame-duck President James Buchanan that they be arrested and charged with treason Buchanan refused the idea Butler also met with Jefferson Davis and learned that he was not the Union man that Butler had previously thought he was Butler then returned to Massachusetts where he warned Governor John a Andrew that hostilities were likely and that the state militia should be ready he took advantage of the mobilization to secure a contract with the state for his mill to supply heavy cloth to the militia military contracts would constitute a significant source of profits for Butler's mill throughout the war topic petitioning for military leadership appointment Butler also worked to secure a leadership position should the militia be deployed he first offered his services to Governor Andrew in March 1861 when the call for militia finally arrived in April Massachusetts was asked for only three regiments but Butler managed to have the request expanded to include a brigadier general he telegraphed Secretary of War Simon Cameron with whom he was acquainted suggesting that Cameron issue a request for a brigadier and General Staff from Massachusetts which soon afterward appeared on governor Andrews desk he then used banking contacts to ensure that loans that would be needed to fund the militia operations would be conditioned on his appointment despite Andrews desired to assign the Brigadier position to Ebenezer Peirce the bank insisted on Butler and he was sent south to ensure the security of transportation routes to Washington the nation's capital was threatened with isolation from free states because it was unclear whether Maryland a slave state would also secede topic 1861 Baltimore and Virginia operations the two regiments Massachusetts sent to Maryland were the sixth and eighth volunteer militia the sixth departed first and was caught up in a secessionist riot in Baltimore Maryland on April 19th Butler traveled with the 8th which left Philadelphia the next day amid news that railroad connections around Baltimore were being severed Butler and the 8th traveled by rail and ferry to Maryland's capital Annapolis where Governor Thomas H Hicks attempted to dissuade them from landing Butler landed his troops which needed food and water occupying the Naval Academy when Governor Hicks informed Butler that no one would sell provisions to his force Butler pointed out that armed men did not necessarily have to pay for needed provisions and he would use all measures necessary to ensure order after being joined by the 7th New York militia Butler directed his men to restore rail service between Annapolis and Washington via Annapolis junction which was accomplished by April 27 he also threatened Maryland legislators with arrest if they voted in favor of secession and eventually seized the Great Seal of Maryland Butler's prompt actions in securing the napellus were received with approval by the US Army's top General Winfield Scott and he was given formal orders to maintain the security of the transit links in Maryland in early May scott ordered Butler to lead the operations that occupied Baltimore on may 13th he entered Baltimore on a train with 1000 men and artillery with no opposition that was done in contravention to Butler's orders from Scott which had been to organize 4 columns to approach the city by land and sea General Scott criticized Butler for his strategy despite its success as well as his heavy-handed assumption of control of much of the civil government and he recalled him to Washington Butler shortly after received one of the early appointments as Major General of the volunteer forces his exploits in Maryland also brought nationwide press attention including significant negative press in the south which concocted stories about him that work inflation's of biographical details involving not just Butler but also a namesake from New York and others topic Fort Monroe Virginia when two Massachusetts regiments had been sent overland to Maryland - more were dispatched by sea under Butler's command to secure Fort Monroe at the mouth of the James River after being dressed down by Scott for overstepping his authority Butler was next to sign command of Fort Monroe and of the Department of Virginia on May 27th Butler sent a force eight miles thirteen kilometers north to occupy the lightly defended adjacent town of Newport News Virginia at Newport News Point an excellent anchorage for the Union Navy the force established and significantly fortified camp Butler in a battery at Newport News Point that could cover the entrance to the James River Ship Canal in the mouth of the Nansemond River Butler also expanded Camp Hamilton established in the adjacent town of Hampton Virginia just beyond the confines of the fort and within the range of its guns the Union occupation of Fort Monroe was considered a potential threat on Richmond by Confederate General Robert E Lee and he began organizing the defense of the Virginia Peninsula in response Confederate General John B Magruder seeking to buy time while awaiting men and supplies established well defended forward outposts near Big and Little Bethel only eight miles thirteen kilometers from Butler's camp at Newport News as a lure to draw his opponent into a premature action Butler took the bait and suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Battle of big Bethel On June 10 Butler devised a plan for a night March and operation against the positions but chose not to lead the force in person for which he was later criticized the plan proved too complex for his inadequately trained subordinates and troops to carry out especially at night and was further marred by the failure of staff to communicate all passwords and precautions a friendly fire incident during the night gave away the Union position and they were further harmed by advancing without knowledge of the layout or strength of the Confederate positions Massachusetts militia general Ibanez er Pierce who commanded in the field received the most criticism for the failed operation with the withdrawal of many of his men for use elsewhere Butler was unable to maintain the camp at Hampton although his forces did retain the camp at Newport News Butler's Commission which required approval from Congress was vigorously debated after big battle with a comment raised about his lack of military experience his commission was narrowly approved on July 21st the day of the First Battle of Bull Run the wars first large-scale battle that bottles poor Union outcome was used as cover by General Scott to reduce Butler's force to one incapable of substantive offense it being implicit in Scott's orders that the troops were needed near Washington in August Butler commanded an expeditionary force that in conjunction with the United States Navy took forts Hatteras and Clark in North Carolina this moved the first significant Union victory after 1st Bull Run was lauded in Washington and won Butler accolades from President Lincoln Butler was thereafter sent back to Massachusetts to raise new forces this thrust Butler into a power struggle with Governor Andrew who insisted on maintaining his authority to appoint regimental officers refusing to commission among others Butler's brother Andrew and several of the generals close associates the spat instigated a recruiting war between Butler and the state militia organization the dispute delayed Butler's return to Virginia but he was in November instead assigned to command of ground troops for operations in Louisiana while in command at Fort Monroe Butler declined to return to their owners fugitive slaves who had come within his lines he argued that Virginians considered them to be chattel property and that they could not appeal to the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 because of Virginia secession furthermore slaves used as laborers for building fortifications and other military activities could be considered contraband of war it was later made standard Union Army policy to not return fugitive slaves this policy was soon extended to the Union Navy topic New Orleans Butler directed the first Union expedition to Ship Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast in December 1861 and in May 1862 commanded the force that conducted the capture of New Orleans after its occupation by the Navy following the Battle of forts Jackson and st. Phillip in the administration of that city he showed great firmness and political subtlety he devised a plan for relief of the poor demanded Oates of allegiance from anyone who sought any privilege from government and confiscated weapons how Butler subtlety seemed to fail him as the military governor of New Orleans when it came to dealing with its Jewish population about which the general referring to local smugglers infamously wrote in October 1862 they are Jews who betrayed their savior and also have betrayed us Butler was considered notorious for his anti-semitism topic public health management in an ordinary year it was not unusual for as much as 10 percent of the city's population to die of yellow fever in preparation Butler imposed strict quarantine and introduced a rigid program of garbage disposal as a result in 1862 only two cases were reported topic civil administration difficulties many of his acts however were highly unpopular most notorious was Butler's general order number 28 of may 15 1862 that if any woman should insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States she shall be regarded and shall be held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation ie a prostitute this was in response to various and widespread acts of overt verbal and physical abuse from the women of New Orleans including cursing at and spitting on Union soldiers and pouring out chamber pots on their heads from upstairs windows when they passed in the street with Admiral David Farragut being perhaps the most notable victim of a chamberpot attack there was no overt sexual connotation in butler's order but its effect was to revoke the protected status held by women under the social mores of the time which mandated that any respectable woman ie a non prostitute be treated with the extra degree of respect to a lady regardless of their own provocations under general ordered 28 however if a woman showed any form of insult or contempt towards a Union soldier even so much as turning her back when he approached or refusing to answer his questions the usual social standards no longer applied and she could be retaliated against either verbally or physically as if she were a common prostitute the order produced the desired effect as few women proved willing to risk retaliation simply to protest the Union presence but it was seen as extremely draconian by everyone except the Union soldiers in New Orleans and provoked general outrage in both the north and the south as well as abroad particularly in England and France he was nicknamed beast Butler or alternatively spoons Butler the latter nickname deriving primarily from an incident in which Butler seized a 38 piece set of silverware from a New Orleans woman attempting to cross the Union lines although the woman's past permitted her to carry nothing but clothing on her person making her carriage of the silverware illegal the single set of silverware would have normally been considered protected personal valuables and Butler's insistence on prosecuting the woman as a smuggler and seizing the silverware as wartime contraband under his dictate of confiscating all property of those aiding the Confederacy vocht angry jeers from white residents of New Orleans and the much repeated perception that he used his power to engage in the petty looting of the household valuables of treasonous New Orleans topic cotton seizures shortly after the Confiscation Act of 1862 became effective in September general Butler increasingly relied upon it as a means of grabbing cotton since the act permitted confiscation of property owned by anyone aiding the Confederacy Butler reversed his earlier policy of encouraging trade by refusing to confiscate cotton brought in to New Orleans for sale first he conducted a census in which four thousand respondents failing to pledge loyalty to the Union were banished and their property seized it was sold at ridiculously low auction prices where Andrew was often the prime buyer next the general sent expeditions into the countryside with no military purpose other than to confiscate cotton from residents assumed to be disloyal once brought into New Orleans the cotton would be similarly sold in rigged auctions to maintain correct appearances auction proceeds were dutifully held for the benefit of just claimants but the Butler consortium still ended up owning the cotton at bargain prices always inventive of new terminology to achieve his ends Butler sequestered ie made vulnerable to confiscation such properties in all of Louisiana beyond parishes surrounding New Orleans topic censorship of newspapers Butler censored New Orleans newspapers when editor of the commercial Bullitt and William Seymore asked Butler what would happen if the newspaper ignored his censorship an angry Butler reportedly stated I am the military governor of this state the supreme power you cannot disregard my order sir by God he that sins against me sins against the Holy Ghost when seymour published a favorable obituary of his father who had been killed serving in the Confederate Army in Virginia Butler confiscated the newspaper and imprisoned seymour for three months he also closed the Picayune when it ran an editorial that he found offensive historian John D winters wrote that most of the newspapers were allowed to reopen later but were so rigidly controlled that all color and interest were drained away and that churches that planned a special day of prayer and fasting for the Confederacy were forbidden from doing so several clergymen were placed under arrest for refusing to pray for President Lincoln the Episcopal churches were closed and their three ministers were sent to New York City under military escort topic execution of William Mumford On June 7th 1862 Butler ordered the execution of William B Mumford for tearing down a United States flag placed by Admiral Farragut on the United States Mint in New Orleans in his memoirs Butler maintained that Mumford had assembled a party of men tore down the flag dragged it through the streets and then trampled and spit on it and then ripped it into pieces after which Mumford distributed it among members of the party who wore it as if were a badge of honor all of which was against the laws of war before Mumford was executed Butler permitted him to make a speech for as long as he wished where Mumford defended his actions claiming that he was acting out of a high sense of patriotism most including Mumford and his family expected Butler to pardon him the general refused but promised to care for his family if necessary after the war Butler fulfilled his promise paying off a mortgage on Mumford's widows house and helping her find government employment for the execution and general order number 28 he was denounced December 1862 by Confederate President Jefferson Davis in general order 111 as a felon deserving capital punishment who if captured should be reserved for execution Butler's action was successful in reducing the number of violent acts and vandalism made against the Union occupiers topic actions against foreign consuls Butler also took aim at foreign consuls in New Orleans he ordered the seizure of $800,000 that had been deposited in the office of the Dutch consul imprisoned the French Champagne magnate Charles Heidsieck and took particular aim at George Koppel of Great Britain whom he suspended for refusal to cooperate with the Union instead Butler accused Koppel of giving aid to the Confederate cause US Secretary of State William Henry Seward Sen Trevor D Johnson to New Orleans to investigate complaints of foreign consuls against certain Butler policies even when told by President Lincoln to restore a sugar shipment claimed by Europeans Butler undermined the order he also imposed a strict quarantine to protect against yellow fever which had the added impact of delaying foreign commerce and bringing complaints to his headquarters from most foreign consuls topic handling of escaped slaves with the Union occupation runaway slaves and slaves from abandoned plantations arrived in large numbers in New Orleans these unattached persons had to be fed and housed a Union officer complained of a big problem with the new arrivals John D winters wrote that soldiers resented the fact that the pampered Negro was given better tents equal rations and was allowed to tear down more fences for sleeping boards than were the soldiers general Phelps an abolitionist had organized a few squads of Negroes and drilled them daily not knowing what to do with so many Negroes Butler at first returned the runaway slaves to their masters but still the contrabands came some of them were employed as cooks nurses wash women and laborers finally Butler ordered the exclusion of all unemployed Negroes and whites from his lines topic recall although butlers governance of New Orleans was popular in the north where it was seen as a successful stand against recalcitrant secessionists some of his actions notably those against the foreign consuls concerned President Lincoln who authorized his recall in December 1862 Butler was replaced by Nathaniel P banks the necessity of taking sometimes radical actions and the support he received in Radical Republican circles drove Butler to change political allegiance and he joined the Republican Party he also sought revenge against the more moderate Secretary of State Seward who he believed to be responsible for his eventual recall Butler continues to be a disliked and controversial figure in New Orleans topic army of the James bubblers popularity with the radicals meant that Lincoln could not readily deny him a new posting Lincoln considered sending him to position in the Mississippi River area in early 1863 and categorically refused to send him back to New Orleans he finally gave Butler command of the Department of Virginia in North Carolina in November 1863 based in Norfolk Virginia in January 1864 Butler played a pivotal role in the creation of six regiments of us volunteers recruited from among Confederate prisoners of war galvanized Yankees for duty on the western frontier in May the forces under his command were designated the army of the James topic United States Colored Troops general Butler also commanded a number of United States Colored Troops regiments which he deployed in combat during the Battle of Chaffins farm sometimes also called the Battle of new market Heights the troops performed extremely well and in the case of the 38 United States Colored Troops regiment who had overcome overwhelming fire heavy casualties and thick physical obstacles to overwhelm a more powerful force he awarded a number of men the Medal of Honor he also ordered a special medal designed and struck and awarded to 200 african-american soldiers who had served with distinction in the engagement this was later called the Butler medal topic petersburg assault ulysses s grant who did not think highly of Butler's military skills ordered him to attack in the direction of petersburg from the east destroying the rail links supplying richmond and distracting robert e lee in conjunction with attacks grant would make from the north although petersburg at this time was lightly defended and butler could have occupied it with little difficulty he hesitated and allowed a greatly inferior Confederate force under General Pierre GT Beauregard to box up the army of the James on the Bermuda hundred Peninsula as a result the Army of Northern Virginia arrived and dug in around Petersburg resulting in an eight-month siege of the city however it was his mismanagement of the expedition against Fort Fisher North Carolina that finally led to his recall by General Grant Butler devised a scheme to sail a boat filled with gunpowder up to the fort and detonate it breaching its defenses after which infantry would land ashore and storm the place the plan went completely awry when the boat exploded prematurely in the harbor outside feet Fisher doing no damage whatsoever and was barely even noticed by the Confederate troops Manning the fort Butler landed his infantry ashore then gave up recalled them and reported back that feat Fisher was impossible to capture afterwards Admiral David Dixon Porter informed grant that it could be taken easily if anyone competent were put in charge topic fort fisher and final recall although grant had largely been successful in removing incompetent political generals from service Butler proved to be one such officer that could not be easily gotten rid of as a prominent Radical Republican Butler was also under consideration as a possible opponent of Lincoln in that year's election and Lincoln had asked Butler to serve as his vice president in early 1864 after the election however grant wrote to Secretary of War Edwin M Stanton in early 1865 asking free rein to relieve Butler from military service since Stanton was travelling outside Washington DC at the time grant appealed directly to Lincoln for permission to terminate Butler noting there is a lack of confidence felt in Butler's military ability in general order number one lincoln relief butler from command of the department of north carolina and virginia and ordered him to report to lowell massachusetts grant informed butler of his recall on january 8th 1865 and named major general edward OC or to replace him as commander of the army of the james rather than report to lowell butler went to washington where he used his considerable political connections to get a hearing before the Joint Congressional Committee on the conduct of the war in mid-january at his hearing Butler focused his defense on his actions at Fort Fisher he produced charts and duplicates of reports by subordinates to prove he had been right to call off his attack of Fort Fisher despite orders from General Grant to the contrary Butler claimed the fort was impregnable to his embarrassment a follow up expedition led by Major General Alfred H Terry captured the fort On January 15th and news of this victory arrived during the committee hearing Butler's military career was over he was formally retained until November 1865 with the idea that he might act as military prosecutor of Confederate President Jefferson Davis topic financial dealings negative perceptions of Butler were compounded by his questionable financial dealings in several of his commands as well as the activities of his brother Andrew who acted as Butler's financial proxy and was given almost free rein to engage in exploitative business deals in other questionable activities in New Orleans upon arriving in the city Butler immediately began attempts to participate in the lucrative inter belligerent trade he used a federal warship to send sixty thousand dollars in sugar to Boston where he expected to sell it for $160,000 however his use of the government ship was reported to the military authorities and Butler was chastised instead of earning a profit military authorities permitted him to recover only his $60,000 plus expenses thereafter his brother Andrew officially represented the family in such activities everyone in New Orleans believed that Andrew accumulated a profit of $1 to $2 million while in Louisiana upon inquiry from Treasury Secretary Chase in October 1862 the general responded that his brother actually cleared less than $200,000 when Butler was replaced in New Orleans by Major General Nathaniel banks Andrew Butler unsuccessfully tried to bribe banks with $100,000 if banks would permit Andrews commercial program to be carried out as previous to bankses arrival Butler's administration of the Norfolk District was also tainted by financial scandal and cross lines business dealings historian ledwell Johnson concluded that during that period there can be no doubt that a very extensive trade with the Confederacy was carried on in Butler's Norfolk Department this trade was extremely profitable for northern merchants and was a significant help to the Confederacy it was conducted with Butler's help and a considerable part of it was in the hands of his relatives and supporters shortly after arriving in Norfolk Butler became surrounded by such men foremost among them was Brigadier General George Shepley who had been military governor of Louisiana Butler invited Shepley to join him and take care of Norfolk after his arrival Shepley was empowered to issue military permits allowing goods to be transported through the lines he designated subordinate George Johnston to manage the tasks in fall 1864 Johnston was charged with corruption however instead of being prosecuted he was allowed to resign after saying he could show that general Butler was a partner in all the controversial transactions along with the generals brother-in-law Fisher hildreth shortly thereafter Johnston managed a thriving between the lines trade Depot in Eastern North Carolina there is no doubt that Butler was aware of Shep Lee's trading activities his own chief of staff complained about them and spoke of businessmen who owned Shepley Butler took no action much of the butler managed Norfolk trade was via the dismal swamp canal to six northeastern counties in North Carolina separated from the rest of the state by Albemarle Sound and the Chowan River although cotton was not a major crop area farmers purchased bales from the Confederate government and took them through the lines where they would be traded for family supplies generally the southerners returned with salt sugar cash and miscellaneous supplies they used the salt to preserve butchered pork which they sold to the Confederate commissary after Atlantic blockaded ports such as Charleston and Wilmington were captured this route supplied about 10,000 pounds of bacon sugar coffee and codfish daily to Lee's army ironically grant was trying to cut off Lee supplies from the Confederacy when Lee's provender was almost entirely furnished from Yankee sources through Butler controlled Norfolk Grant wrote of the issue whilst the Army was holding Lee in Richmond and Petersburg I found Lee receiving supplies either through the inefficiency or permission of an officer selected by general Butler from Norfolk through the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal Butler's replacement Major General George H Gordon was appalled at the nature of the ongoing trade reports were circulating that $100,000 of goods daily left Norfolk for rebel armies grant instructed Gordon to investigate the prior trading practices at Norfolk after which Gordon released a 60 page indictment of Butler and his cohorts it concluded that Butler associates such as Hildreth and Shepley were responsible for supplies from Butler's district pouring directly into the department's of the rebel commissary and quartermaster some Butler associates sold permits for cross line trafficking for a fee Gordon's report received little publicity because of the end of the war and Lincoln's assassination topic postbellum career at the urging of his wife Butler actively sought another political position in the Lincoln administration but this effort came to an end with Lincoln's assassination in April 1865 Butler instead turned his eyes to Congress and was elected in 1866 on a platform of civil rights and opposition to President Andrew Johnson's week reconstruction policies he supported a variety of populist or social reform positions including women's suffrage an eight-hour workday for federal employees and the issuance of greenback currency topic congressman bubbler served four terms 1867 275 before losing re-election and was then once again elected in 1876 for a single term as a former Democrat he was initially opposed by the state republican establishment which was particularly unhappy with his support of women's suffrage and greenbacks the more conservative party organization closed ranks against him to denied two attempts in 1871 and 1873 to gain the republican nomination for governor of massachusetts in 1874 hostile republicans led by Ebenezer Rockwood horse succeeded in denying him reen ama nation for his congressional seat in 1868 Butler was selected to be one of the managers of the impeachment of President Johnson before the Senate although Thaddeus Stevens was the principle guiding force behind the impeachment effort he was aging a nil at the time and Butler stepped in to become the main organizing force in the prosecution the case was focused primarily on Johnson's removal of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in violation of the tenure of office act and was weak because the constitutionality of the law had not been decided the trial was a somewhat uncomfortable affair in part because the weather was hot and humid and the chamber was packed the prosecution's case was a humdrum recitation of facts already widely known and it was attacked by the defense's William Everts who drowned the proceedings by repeatedly objecting to Butler's questions often necessitating a vote by the Senate on whether or not to allow the question Johnson's defense focused on the point that his removal of Stanton fell within the bounds of the tenure of office act despite some missteps by the defense and Butler's vigorous cross-examination of defense witnesses the impeachment failed by a single vote in the interval between the trial and the Senate vote Butler searched without success for substantive evidence that Johnson operatives were working to bribe undecided senators after acquittal on the first article voted on Senate Republicans voted to adjourn for 10 days seeking time to possibly change the outcome on the remaining articles during this time Butler established a House committee to investigate the possibility that four of the seven Republican senators who voted for acquittal had been improperly influenced in their votes he uncovered some that promises of patronage had been made and that money may have changed hands but was unable to decisively link these actions to any specific senator Butler wrote the initial version of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 also known as the Ku Klux Klan act after his bill was defeated representative Samuel Shellabarger of Ohio drafted another bill only slightly less sweeping than Butler's that successfully passed both houses and became law upon Grant signature on April 20th along with Republican Senator Charles Sumner Butler proposed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 a seminal and far-reaching law banning racial discrimination in public accommodations the Supreme Court of the United States declared the law unconstitutional in the 1883 civil rights cases Butler managed to rehabilitate his relationship with Ulysses Grant after the latter became president to the point where he was seen as generally speaking for the president in the house he annoyed Massachusetts old guard Republicans by convincing grant to nominate one of his protege steuby collector of the port of Boston an important patronage position and secured an exception for an ally John Sanborn in legislation regulating the use of contractors by the Internal Revenue Service for the collection of tax debts Sanborn would later be involved the Sanborn contract scandal in which he was paid over $200,000 for collecting debts that would likely have been paid without his intervention topic business and charitable dealings Butler greatly expanded his business interests during and after the Civil War and was extremely wealthy when he died with an estimated net worth of seven million dollars 190 million dollars today historian Chester Hearn believed that tee hee source of his fortune as a mystery but much of it came from New Orleans however Butler's mills in Lowell which produced woollen goods and were not hampered by cotton shortages were economically successful during the war supplying clothing and blankets to the Union Army and regularly paying high dividends successful post-war investments included a granite company on Cape Anne and a barge freight operation on the Merrimack River after learning that no domestic manufacturer produced bunting he invested in another Lowell mill to produce it and convinced the federal government to enact legislation requiring domestic sources for material used on government buildings less successful ventures included investments in real estate in the Virginia Colorado and the Baja Peninsula of Western Mexico and a fraudulent gold mining operation in North Carolina he also founded the WOM Z Power Company in the United States cartridge company and was one of several high-profile investors who were deceived by Phillip Arnold in the famous diamond hoax of 1872 Butler put some of his money into more charitable enterprises he purchased confiscated farms in the Norfolk Virginia area during the war and turned them over to cooperative ventures managed by local African Americans and sponsored a scholarship for african-americans at Phillips Andover Academy he also served for 15 years in executive positions of the national home for disabled soldiers his law firm also expanded significantly after the war adding offices in New York City in Washington high-profile cases he took included the representation of Admiral David Farragut in his quest to be paid by the government for prizes taken by the Navy during the war and the defense of former Secretary of War Simon Cameron against an attempted extortion in a salacious case that gained much public notice topic governor of Massachusetts and run for president Butler ran unsuccessfully for governor of Massachusetts in 1878 as an independent with greenback party support and also sought the Democratic nomination the latter was denied him by the party leadership which refused to admit him into the party but he was nominated by a populist rump group of Democrats who disrupted the main convention forcing it to adjourn to another location he was renown nated in similar fashion in 1879 in both years the Republic won against the divided Democrats because Butler sought the governorship in part as a stepping-stone to the presidency he opted not to run again until 1882 in 1882 he was elected by a 14,000 margin after winning nomination by both greenbacks and an undivided Democratic Party as governor Butler was active in promoting reform and competence in administration in spite of a hostile Republican legislature and governor's council he appointed the state's first Irish American and African American judges and appointed the first woman to executive office Clara Barton to head the Massachusetts reformatory for women he also graphically exposed the mismanagement of the state's Tewkesbury almshouse under a succession of Republican governors Butler was somewhat notoriously snubbed by Harvard University which traditionally granted honorary degrees to the state's governor's Butler's honorarium was denied because the Board of Overseers headed by Ebenezer voted against it Butler's bid for re-election in 1883 was one of the most contentious campaigns of his career his presidential ambitions were well known and the state's Republican establishment led by Ebenezer and George frisbee poured money into the campaign against him running against congressman George D Robinson whose campaign manager was a young Henry Cabot Lodge Butler was defeated by 10,000 votes out of more than 300,000 cast Butler is credited with beginning the tradition of that lone walk the ceremonial exit from the office of governor of Massachusetts after finishing his term in 1884 in 1882 Butler successfully prosecuted Julliard V griemann before the Supreme Court in what was seen as a victory for greenback supporters the case confirmed that the government had the right to issue paper see for public and private debts Butler leveraged the wind to run for president in 1884 nominated by the greenback and anti-monopoly parties he was unsuccessful in getting the Democratic nomination which went to Grover Cleveland Cleveland refused to adopt parts of Butler's platform in exchange for his political support prompting Butler to run in the general election he sought to gain electoral votes by engaging in fusion efforts with Democrats in some states and Republicans and others in which he took what were perceived in the contemporary press as bribes $25,000 from the campaign of Republican James G Blaine the effort was in vain Butler pulled 175,000 out of 10 million cast topic later years and legacy in his later years Butler reduced his activity level working on his memoir Butler's book and serving from 1866 to 1879 as president of the National home for disabled volunteer soldiers Butler died on January 11th 1893 of complications from a bronchial infection a day after arguing a case before the Supreme Court he is buried in his wife's family cemetery behind the Maine Hildreth Cemetery in Lowell his daughter Blanche married Adelbert Ames a Mississippi governor and senator who had served as a general in the Union Army during the war Butler's descendants include the famous scientist Adelbert Ames jr. suffragists and artist bland James Ames Butler Eames hope Butler and George Plimpton since 2004 the Benjamin F Butler Society has met at the Hildreth family cemetery in early November to celebrate the birthday of general Butler and to replace the American flag that flies over the cemetery with a new one this is the only time of year the family plots behind two locked gates and fenced off from the public cemetery are

Jhg0UgV_INY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhg0UgV_INY	Quitting My Teaching Career 🏫 My Journey Exploring a new Career	hello everybody and welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is megan i used to make teaching videos and now i just kind of make life content um and this video is actually all centered around kind of why i stopped making teaching videos and how i got my current job i've had a couple people ask how i got into this job so i wanted to share that with you guys today and i'm super excited to share that experience because i think it's kind of unique and i think it's worked out for the best so let's go ahead and get right into it okay so let's kind of rewind a little bit kind of to the beginning of how this all started i went to school to be a teacher i wanted to be a teacher since i was in sixth grade and it is really odd that that's not where my career path has led me thus far so towards the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year before i got my my job as a tutor i had already been substitute teaching for a year and it went good relatively um and so i ended up not really finding a position for the 2018-2019 school year and i was kind of i kind of didn't want to substitute teach again it was really stressful and i just i think i wanted something else like more long term in a school rather than jumping around to a different school every single day so i ended up applying for this tutoring slash like reading specialist i guess kind of teacher and i ended up getting it which was super exciting that experience was really good but something else that happened towards the beginning of the year is i had applied for a long-term subposition i really really thought i was going to get it and i kind of think in my mind this was like the catalyst for everything and i didn't end up getting it and i was really upset about it and it just kind of started this feeling of like maybe this isn't for me and you know i thought at first it was just like oh i didn't get this job and i'm bummed and i'm feeling sorry for myself but this feeling actually lasted throughout the entire year and there became more and more things that i noticed that i just didn't really love about teaching so i decided towards the end of the school year in 2019 i was like okay i want to try something else out i feel comfortable enough because i have my teaching license for another few years so if things didn't work out i would be fine i'm living at home so i can take a risk and try something else out so i ended up applying to a local amusement park actually called valley fair and i used to work there it was my first job after graduating high school and i worked as a ride operator while it wasn't the best job in the world that i've ever had it was fun and so i saw that they had an hr position open and i decided to apply for it i ended up getting the job and i spent the entire summer learning about the hr world um it wasn't super in-depth i was an assistant so i did get to do other little random jobs and things like that but it was a really cool and fun experience and i still got to be around the amusement park and you know go on some of the rides and things like that so it was a really cool experience so towards the end of that time like when we were kind of coming up on the next school year i'd say probably beginning middle of august i ended up getting contacted by a contracting company called kelly services via indeed.com and they were like hey we have this hr job with a client or whatever they called it and would you be interested in going through the application process so of course i was like okay like this really could be my opportunity to go try this do it through the contracting company for a couple months if i don't like it i can then go back to substitute teaching so that was kind of the main thing is like i knew i had that that thing to fall back on that plan b if things didn't work out in the hr world and so i was really grateful for that because i don't think if like i already had a teaching job or if i didn't have that thing to fall back on i would have been a little more nervous to try something new so i'm really grateful that i did have that to fall back on if things didn't work out so i went through the application process and then they said i had an interview super excited so i went to go interview and after the interview on my drive home um i got a call from the contracting company lady that i was working with and she said i got the job so i was super excited and um then a week later on september 9th of 2019 i started this job it was so weird and out of my element i was sitting in a desk all day i had a direct manager who was like watching everything that i did and because i was a contractor and didn't have a full-time position it was like i had to make sure i was on my game and doing a good job every single day if you haven't heard from like previous videos or if i haven't explained very well basically i answer phones every day um i usually aim for like 30 phone calls a day the employees so managers employees managers managers whatever they contact us with questions that they have so if they have a leave of absence or if they have like a keeping issue or i don't know whatever so many other things we help them answer those questions or we get them to the right place and so i take about 30 calls in an eight hour day the other thing that i do um on days that maybe i'm not taking calls because we have like different sections of our job so there they also opened a chat feature so basically the same concept someone chats in and they say i didn't receive my paycheck today and then i checked the information and i chat back to them and we figure out what the issue is so that's kind of my main job i started then full-time um on january 6 of 2020 and i've been in that job ever since then but yeah that's kind of how i got into my current position i've been working there for nine months so it's been a fun ride and i'm i'm really glad i got those opportunities so we'll see where things continue to go what my dream job develops into and i hope you guys enjoyed and yeah i'll catch you guys next time bye guys	Megan Hanson	UCKgSuz5YDKy1xdjaNY-9aqA	2020-10-31	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,227	6,082

uncritically preserve the bureaucratic status quo by breaking the rules of everyday conduct the problem of reading so many books is that sometimes I can't remember where an idea came from it's like having a word on the tip of your tongue and not being able to say it a few days ago I needed to explain why superhero films are ideologically statist and I couldn't remember the source just now a random comment made you remember David grabers the Utopia of rules published in 2015 the Utopia of rules is a book about bureaucracy how bureaucracy not politics is a true organizing force and modern society and why the basis of state bureaucracy is the regularization of force and violence as Graber says this essay is not just about bureaucracy it's primarily about violence what I'd like to argue is that situations created by violence invariably tend to create the kinds of willful blindness that we normally associate with bureaucratic procedures to put it crudely it is not so much that bureaucratic procedures are inherently stupid but rather there are invariably ways of managing social situations that are already stupid because they are founded on structural violence this approach I think has the potential to tell us a great deal about both how bureaucracy has come to provide every aspect of our lives and why we don't notice it craber's idea of bureaucracy being invisible something that we are accustomed to not only hides it regularizes the violence inherent in the system bureaucracy represents a means of power to facelessly enforce order by making people do things to one another that without the justification of bureaucratic rules would ordinarily appear callous or inhuman as in graber's beautiful one-liner police are bureaucrats with weapons witness a collection of essays the book outlines why bureauxy is a force or power which operates above politics or even capitalism and so acts to reinforce the ills of society as well as frustrating any efforts to change those rules as Graber says one thing that the global Justice movement taught us is that politics is indeed ultimately about value but also that those creating vast bureaucratic systems will almost never admit what their values really are they will like the rubber Barons at the turn of the last century insist that they are acting in the name of efficiency or rationality but in fact this language always turns out to be intentionally vague even nonsensical without understanding how bureaucracy as an impersonal Force works it is not possible to seriously challenge the functioning of that system the rules-based global order is powerful because of the way those rules frustrate change and to hack that system it's necessary to reveal the truth of those rules in order to subvert them as Graber says a critique of bureaucracy fit for the times would have to show how all these Trends financialization violence technology diffusion of public and private knit together into a single self-sustaining web the process of financialization has meant that an ever increasing proportion of corporate profits come in the form of rent extraction of one sort or another since it is ultimately a little more than legalized extortion this is accompanied by the ever increasing accumulation of rules and regulations indeed they become so omnipresent that we no longer realize we're being threatened since we cannot imagine what it would be like not to be Graber explains that one of the reasons movements fail not just Progressive movements but even the neoliberal lobbyists trying to shrink the state is that they Tinker with the mechanisms of bureaucracy Without Really changing it leading to more elaborate and complex rules that frustrate the intent of Reform as Graber says about the situationists call to be realistic demand The Impossible why do movements challenging such structures often end up creating bureaucracies instead normally they do so as a kind of compromise one must be realistic and not demand too much but this raises another question when we speak of being realistic exactly what reality is it we are referring to this is a trap that allegedly radical movements fall into for example Extinction Rebellion rather than challenge the iniquities of the system they'd want to preserve it but without the existential threat of climate change by seeking to stop climate change without dealing with the structural inequalities which are the bases of the western lifestyle they cannot change the basis of how the economy damages the climate this is where superheroes come in as Graber says the heroes are purely reactionary by this I mean reactionary in the literal sense they simply react to things they have no projects of their own in fact superheroes seem almost utterly lacking in imagination the villains in contrast are relentlessly creative they are full of plans and projects and ideas as Graber points out heroic societies which is what western cultures have followed since ancient Greece and Rome are based upon Stories the problem is those hyper-individualistic stories of the hero's role isolates their individual actions from that Collective superstructure of bureaucracy the hero only fights the actions of the villain and so cannot change the nature of the system which gave rise to that villain the Utopia rules expresses some profound ideas about how people strive to make change and how easily those actions can be negated by bureaucratic rules it cannot change the system without overturning its bureaucracy and we can't overturn that bureaucracy without fundamentally redefining our identity and relationships to society in that sense recent demands that we seek the seemingly impossible foreign [Music] Tes on the Utopia of rules fundamentally I'm a geek I started out of an interest in electronics and engineering and then progressed to computers later when I took of activism I found that the functioning of council departments or public inquiries was no different to understanding the operation of an engine a radio or computer code all he had to do was understand the general principle of how the bureaucracy worked in that context and it was possible to create chaos no matter what the issue and the discussion too often people don't realize that the system is so complex that the people charged with administering it don't understand the rules and more importantly they're contradictions within that misunderstanding exists the potential for subversion if you take the time to research the bureaucracy and then think creatively about how those rules can be bent or subverted it's possible to make the system battle itself I think that's why I like the Utopia rules it reflects on what I discovered about how governments worked in the 1980s and later corporations national campaign groups functionally there's not a lot of the difference between the two more importantly Graber makes a distinction between falling into the Trap of working within the system where bureaucracy will actively frustrate cause for Change and creatively finding ways to install olinska's Words push the system Beyond his experience and exploit its failure the first work of grabers that I read was fragments of an anarchist anthropology published in 2004. he wrote that work in the wake of Seattle but before his involvement in the Occupy Movement I think one of the really interesting ideas expressed there equally relevant to how we subvert bureaucracy was counterpower the capacity for people to imagine a world without the problem they perceive and then identify the necessary steps or mechanisms required to realize that and of course if you want to create a different kind of world it has to be something we can hold in our minds first because we need to model it in our mind in order to physically create it in the real world I see the Utopia of rules as the extension to what Graber began in fragments of an anarchist anthropology I was involved in the Seattle protests where for the first time the public emerged as a unified Force to challenge the rules-based global order when the opposition was closed down under the pretense of fighting a war and Terror it came as no surprise that the inherent violence of that System created even greater levels of self-justifying inhuman action from Guantanamo to Abu ghraib to the persecution of Julian Assange and that those practices would then be regularized for deployment across civil society and in fact from drone strikes to Greater public surveillance those methods are still being intensified today even though that war has allegedly ended what I think is more important than any historical context though is for people to read this book and then observe and understand why movements fail if we try to change one aspect of society but keep everything else the same as so much liberal middle class single issue activism is want to do then it should come as no surprise that little success comes of that I often use distinction Rebellion as an example here their method of throwing themselves into the Willing arms of the police the courts and the prison system unsurprisingly causes little distress to the state while causing maximum annoyance to the general public the alternative actually creating the types of future social structures that can operate without fossil fuels because they operate outside of the economic and legal structures created by a system dependent upon fossil fuels doesn't seem to grab Extinction rebellion's imagination even Martin Luther King understood this as expressed in his letter from Birmingham Jail I must confess that over the past few years I've been Gravely disappointed with the white moderate I've almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the negro's greatest stumbling block in his stride towards freedom is not the White Citizens counselor or the Klu Klux klaner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to Justice compare that with graber's point about superheroes in fact superheroes seemed almost utterly lacking in imagination Bruce Wayne with all the money in the world can't seem to think of anything to do with it other than to design even more high-tech weaponry and indulge in the occasional Act of Charity in the same way it never seems to occur to Superman they could easily end world hunger or carve free Magic cities out of mountains almost never do superheroes make create or build anything if we really want to change the world then Grable would have us look to the role of the villain not the superhero in every Hollywood film as ironically expressed in that famous awful hacker flick Swordfish the audience love happy endings the bad guy can't win bureaucracy cannot tolerate anyone who will not submit to his rules what we have to do is move beyond the false dichotomies of the bureaucratic regime the tool we use to do that is not reform it is the use of our imagination to tell a different story about ourselves and then working to make that story come true irrespective of what the bureaucracy dictates asking the bureaucracy to change itself is like asking a tiger to be a house trained pussycat it cannot change it's fundamentally violent or oppressive nature we can't reform the rules of bureaucracy we have to render those rules irrelevant to the conduct of our daily lives on that note I'll end with graber's quote from the crime thing Collective which itself Echoes the ideas of Elbert Camus we must make our freedom by cutting holes in the fabric of this Reality by forging new realities which will in turn freshen us putting yourself in new situations constantly is the only way to ensure that you make your decisions unencumbered by the inertia of habit custom law or Prejudice and it is up to you to create these situations Freedom only exists in the moment of Revolution and those moments are not as rare as you think change revolutionary change is going on constantly and everywhere and everyone plays a part in it consciously or not what is this but an elegant statement of the logic of direct action the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free [Music] foreign [Music]	ramblinactivist	UClZOu4ZeZP75cx2d4t5gHbA	2022-12-10	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse
