I recently had a coaching experience which lasted for about 10, maximum 15 minutes, where I was being the coached person and I have to say the results were mind-blowing and I was really inspired by it, so I decided I will share it with you as an interesting story. So the way this happened is, some days ago, like a week ago, I was in a coaching workshop, online workshop called Awaken Your Inner Coach, I think I'm pronouncing it right, by a legendary coaching expert, Ian McDermott, I made a in-depth review of the workshop so if you're interested there's gonna be a link below, but in this video I want to focus on how Ian and I had kind of a one-on-one exchange for, as I said, like around 10 minutes and how impressed I was by how he conducted it and also what results it had and what it brought up in me. Just to give you a bit more information about the background of the situation, the Awaken Your Inner Coach workshop was focusing on having a good and constructive clear dialogue with your own subconscious, or at least that's the way I understand it, so kind of listening to your intuition, understanding how it communicates through somatic experiences, kind of almost questioning sometimes that internal dialogue and seeing or kind of observing whether it's a negative one or a positive one, are you being too hard on yourself or are you being generous to yourself, there's been a lot of details and I was really impressed by the workshop itself, but during the workshop we had a bit of back and forths, sometimes we were, there were like breakouts to groups and we had questions to discuss and sometimes we were asked a question by Ian, the person who led the workshop and some people would raise their virtual hand and answer his question so everybody would have a feeling for what's going on through the participant's minds and since I thought, you know, why not, whenever a question was asked I didn't always jump into it, but if I had something I felt like, okay, this feels like valuable, I can share this, or if nobody was raising their hands I was like, you know, I can do this as well, especially if I had something to share, not just forcefully. And so that was one of those situations and I believe the exercise that we were about to do was, and again, this is my, you know, retelling of the story, this is my experience so I might not say exactly everything, you know, the way it was supposed to be, but this is how I understood it, how I perceived it. So the exercise was more or less to find a question which matters to you and kind of like where there's more or less like a dilemma where you're considering two options and just kind of how, just actually I think, well, let's not make this too long-winded, but basically there was a suggestion to not be judgmental about your inner process, but to wonder, to be open-minded and to explore whatever is happening in you with curiosity, which is a really, really great approach. I love that suggestion and I'm familiar with that process. That's kind of how I process my thoughts in general. And I really, most of the times, not always, but most of the times, and I really love that approach where you're leaving open space and you're kind of getting to know yourself better through that wondering. You're not like, this is good, this is bad. It's either one or the other, but the exploration, if you are curious about it, if you're wondering, as Ian used the term wondering, then so much more can open up and so you can discover so many more things, maybe an option C, option D, or something you just haven't thought about. So it's a brilliant process and we were given a task to ask ourselves whatever we're like, what find a situation in our lives, in ourselves, where we are kind of conflicted between two options and to wonder about it. And as we went to breakout groups, we were supposed to share what that is and how we feel about that, like what are the two options. And so I thought about, I had like a number of examples which were on my mind, which I could have used as examples. But I felt the most active one is one, if you're following this channel, if you're following the journey, you'll most likely be aware of it. It's reading versus exploration and I haven't spoken that much about it. I spoke about that a little bit in the review, so again, you might be in tune. But basically the idea is recently I realized that I have very clear limitations in regards to giving what I want to give. And my conclusion was that if I want to create the effect in the world that I want to create, my conclusion was that I need more knowledge, and I need more information, more wisdom as well, maybe. But mostly just focusing on the knowledge and the skill set aspect of it. But a few different people have suggested to me that just being completely focused on your books may not be the way to go. And I started to think that that may be true. My coaching therapist, who I am in constant contact with, who is coaching me regularly, she suggested as well that it's not all about reading books, it's important to explore yourself. And potentially the inner wisdom that comes from your own observations and your own explorations may be more valuable than just pure information that you gather from external books. And I saw some of the truth in it, but I was still conflicted because my ambitious mind was saying, no, you just need to learn everything that's possible. And I was kind of contemplating about that. And I probably will make actually a separate video on digging into the details of that dilemma more. But coming back to what happened in that coaching session, so nobody was raising their hands to give the example. So I just was like, okay, I have my example, I raise my hand. And Ian was like, okay, Rokas, what's your example? And we're in a Zoom conversation, there's like 70 people. So they're all listening, but it's a one-on-one between me and Ian. And I said, well, my dilemma, my wondering is about reading versus exploration. Like considering, so which one is more valuable? How much should I invest into which side? And I explained the conflict I had in me where I feel that yearning to read and learn and to know more in order to give more. And Ian asked me, so he said, so what's your driving force? Like, what is it that pushes you to do that? And I said, I had a clear answer. I said, well, I am very much focused about creating value for everyone else. But that's like a core essential primary goal for me to create as much value to others as I can. And I came to a conclusion that reading, gathering information may be the best way for me to go right now. But I also have a sense that exploration may be valuable too. And I don't know which one to choose. And I can't recall exactly what was said when, because it was such an active process. But I observed being myself an instructor, I was an Aikido instructor, yoga, and meditation. So I dabbled in philosophy. And many conversations I used to have with my students or clients were kind of inquiring as well. I would ask questions. And that whole process was familiar to me. And I had some coaching experience. I was coached a number of times. So I was observing it as kind of like, I was participating in the conversation. But I was also observing, so how does to do that? Like, what is happening?  For the whole workshop, actually I was impressed by Ian very much, like how curious he was, how open he was, and how he would engage other people, and he wasn't the type of person who's telling you, oh, this is the right answer. This is the wrong answer. You should think like that. He wasn't like giving you answers, but he was so good at creating questions or bringing up questions, which made you think about it. But he was also, in my experience, my perception, he was also incredible at at giving some ideas, but not in a way where I know and I will tell you, but versus like he was kind of, you feel the authentic curiosity behind his consideration, like he was like, you know, that makes me think about this. And and I feel a little bit like this and this. What do you think about that? It was like such a such an authentic way of exploring, which I admire. I feel that's one of the best ways to go because these days I criticize a lot where I'm more and more focusing on criticizing the whole self called guru culture, where people find or even like find partially their truth and they tell everyone their truth as the truth, which I think is not the way to go. And again, Ian was not doing that. So so just observing him through the whole workshop, I was really impressed. And I know I'm spitting off a little bit to the side. I'll come back to my main point, but I really want to share this. So what happened is, especially after the coaching session, I went through him. I realized, damn, this is a person that I'm looking at and listening to, which I admire from the get go. And it inspires me. And and I have this.  And I have this feeling with some people, but it's it's quite a rare feeling. When I look at that person, I'm like, holy crap, that person has something which I want to have as well. It's like I love some quality or aspect he has. And I want, I want to kind of obtain that as well. So I feel like I have a feeling like I want to hang out with that person. So that's why I'm so happy, not only that I was in that workshop, but also that I will be participating in the eight month course. Designed from what I understand by by Ian of coaching, your linguistic programming, executive coaching and personal coaching. So and he's going to be one of one of the number of instructors. I'm really looking forward to spend more time with him and to get to know how he feels, how he thinks. I had that feeling from him, which is rare. And I really appreciate it. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. But coming back to the original story. So I'm having this back and forth conversation with him. This is kind of a mini coaching session. And he made such incredible points during it. And part of those points where again, I can't remember exactly how he got there. I remember just a couple of bits, which I will express more or less right now. But but he said he focused on the word yearning. I said that, you know, you're and I can't remember what I said I yearn for. It was probably I'm yearning to make a difference or yearning to know more.  And and and he kind of made a point that me expressing that point already is making impact because other people are listening. And and you know that that same example applies. Having that sense of yearning, of exploring, of wanting, of being in hunger and searching and seeking for for answers, seeking for truth. That's already creating value for others. And that touched me really deeply because I felt like, wow, that's kind of something I felt in the back of my mind. That's kind of what I'm doing for this channel, the journey. I'm not getting you answers per se. I'm exploring, you know, my side of the truth or my explorations of the truth. And sometimes I question myself. It's it's it's a difficult process to run a YouTube channel, especially a new one. And sometimes I question myself, so should I really do this? You know, is this the way to go? Is this channel really valuable? Because I'm so focused on value. But deep inside, I felt like there is something here that's worthwhile that I shouldn't drop this channel. And I was in that in a very specific kind of mindset or consideration just like a couple of weeks ago, which I expressed in one of videos. I thought, since I decided to devote myself to learning so deeply, I thought about cutting this channel off, like just leaving it be. And for like a year, focusing just on learning and learning and learning without any content. But then, but already in the back of my mind, I had feeling maybe that's not the way to go. Maybe maybe there's some value in my explorations, my searching and hearing Ian say that kind of emphasizing that there is value in that honest, sincere search for truth and sharing that with others, the search rather than the find. And again, that touched me deeply hearing someone as high level as him to point that out. And again, he made a very good point too, which I didn't realize at the moment. There was a chat session, a chat section in Zoom where people are typing stuff. And since I was in the conversation with Ian, I didn't look at it, but for a moment he said, I'm checking the chat and he's like, people are already responding. And that was the case. I later looked through and so many people are saying, like, wow, thank you for sharing this, this exploration is so beautiful. You know, it's inspiring. And I was like, holy crap, that's the, you know, that's kind of a sign that it does create value and that type of inquiry, that type of exploration. And the final kind of a cherry on top that Ian did. And I was getting so impressed by it and touched by it. He, he said that he just recently watched again, Lord of the Rings, the first one, the Fellowship of the Ring. And he said that he's always touched by a single moment in that movie, which kind of reminded him of the situation. And that's the moment where the Fellowship of the Ring meets. There's the meeting and everyone's like, I will be the guy who will take the ring because I am capable of this and I'm the guy who, you know, and then he's there, but everyone's arguing who's the best guy to do it. And then Frodo steps in and says, you know, I don't care about power. You know, I, I have nothing to prove, basically. But, but, and I don't know how I will get to the final point. But I know I will, you know, I will commit to it. I will give my whole life in essence to it. And then everyone is touched by it, by his sincerity, by his humility and by his kind of confidence, by his belief and the process. And then people start to say, like, you know, I'm giving you my sword. I'm giving you my, my, my bows and people believe in him and start to follow him, not because he's the best of the best, not because he knows all the answers, not because he's the toughest guy in the scene. But because, you know, he had that sincere kind of faith, whatever, however you would describe that. And, and I think he said as well that it reminded him of the hero's journey. Like that's a great example of the hero's journey and hero's journey. I love the hero's journey. I keep thinking about the hero's journey.   You know, that was such a good story for me to hear because I love movies. I do like Lord of the Rings. I love the hero's journey and it just like, it was the perfect story for me where it just like kind of created that final explosion in my mind.  And I was kind of a read for me, re-referring that it does make sense what I'm doing, that it is a good way to go. And, you know, I don't know how I will get to the final point either. I have big goals and I don't know yet how we'll get there. But there is the sincerity. There is the yearning, the desire, the commitment, the working, the work ethics.  It's, I just need to, you know, trust the process and focus on it. And that was really encouraged the type of mentality by that short coaching session that we have. So, yeah, that really blew my mind. So, yeah, that's kind of what I wanted to share with you. I'll let you know what you think. I know I kind of went through circles, but this is again, an active exploration, so I hope it wasn't too long for you. But it was very touching and I hope you'll find value in it too. Again, let me know what it brought up in you and we'll continue the journey together in the next videos. So thanks for listening. Actually, one more thing very quick. I forgot to say, but it's a funny, interesting insight that I wanted to share with you is, so my girlfriend was actually, she was doing that coaching moment she was actually listening in and she heard the exchange between me and Ian and we later discussed about it. And she, what's funny is she picked up very different things from the talk. Like she picked up different insights and the way she understood the message of Ian was different to the way I understood it. But for me, it's not like a problem. It's actually a very funny, interesting phenomenon, which I think partly what shows what's great about coaching, because when you don't give very specific answers of, oh, this is the truth. This is exactly what I wanted to say. It's in general, we tend to interpret things differently and we tend to take and associate ourselves with the message. But also the way the message was designed, it was open-ended enough also to find the truth in it, which is valuable for you. And the people in the chat who were expressing gratitude for the exchange, a bunch of people even like private privately message, like, oh, thank you for, for opening up that this, this, this talk happened between you, you too. It was like very inspiring on the stuff like that. It was like part of that thing is because people took whatever they needed to take from it. And it's again, it's not an issue that what I took from it and what I understood the message to be and my girlfriend understood the message to be, they were, I see like what she took and I understand her point, but also I, but also it's like, it's fine that we took different, different, different parts. But again, that's like, I feel that's like a level of nastry where you present something where there's so much different things, wonderful things you can take from it. And whatever I presented, the way I understood that exchange, it doesn't mean like that was exactly like it. We're all different and, and, you know, we're, we're taking different things and that's natural and cool. So I guess that's what I wanted to share. Thank you for staying for this last moment. See you next time.


o pay your balance of that previous bill before that next bill goes out. Otherwise a $10 lake fee will be applied to your bill. I've looked at what a lot of the other districts have done that seems about the number that I came up with naturally from looking at the work that it takes to go into this it also is what a lot of the other agencies have either a $10 or a 10% most water bills where those agencies were around $100 is the average bill. So I mean everyone's kind of around that $10 lake fee penalty. The district does have to offer alternative payment arrangements that can be amortized out up to a year essentially more at the customer's discretion versus where we used to have a little bit more control over if they have a relatively good history you know, if someone habitually we kind of constricted a little bit this does kind of give essentially a very clear description of how all of these different situations are being So we currently don't have a lake fee and this would give us the opportunity to impose one and set a 60-day period for shut-off So what ends up happening now changes what we do now Yeah, it changes so essentially your bill goes out it has 21 days, your night bill goes out on the regular date has 21 days and about a week after that if you still haven't paid which is about 45 days you're getting a tag from at your door, at that point you're getting charged a penalty it is a tag penalty for the fact that we're physically having to send someone out the way that this new one will be is it's pushing it to where we can't even shut off your water until your bill is 60 days past so we're already into about the 85 day market I am not a fan of it there was a lot of people who opposed this bill for the small districts it's a nightmare to allow your customers these people are going to be having their fourth bill come out before their water is even potentially being shut off for non-payment so people that let it go have potential to have a lot of money wrapped up when it comes around time so there's water actually being turned off we do have a lot of people that wait until their water is turned off to make a payment I'm worried that they're getting out yet unmanageable balance late fees should hopefully encourage people to pay it more on time so Stephanie, how many people do we do that to a year? do you have an idea? in my monthly report that I do I have the stats of how many people we've turned off and how many tags we've done we do about 240 250 tags per month and around 30 shutoffs which actually is pretty 30 out of 8000 roughly a thousand you know obviously there will be a whole lot of grace periods giving, waving of that first initial fee the messaging going out with all of this the nice part is we should have the website up by the time this stuff is, you know we may choose to waive that initial late fee that first month and kick it out a little bit while we're still getting the messaging out I'm hoping that we can have a really good PR push on it public outreach, the new website is there any question why is press manner should we be writing a article on this? yes, oh I I mean all of the agencies are reaching out to each other to find out how everyone's doing it exactly you know I heeded Jean's advice to wherever you could take direct wording out of the senate bill is what you use as the wording in your document so when it comes to this section wherever I was able to straight up take the legal wording we did the last page of this does give it might be hard to see on this but it gives an example of a timeline so we have to go our customers are billed on the 20th or the 5th of each month but it shows those little blue balls in our each bill that goes out so that 8th, you know for the person that's getting their bill on January 20th isn't going to be shutting off what does it say? April 14th and they're about to have their April bill coming out to them actually April 20th they're actually getting shut off they're going to know this before then but the shutoff is after the March bill right discontinued that's when the March bill is due so I think it ends up being 414 is in this example where their actual water would be oh sorry yeah we're going to be getting shut off I think what's going to happen is we're going to have a significant number of people paying we're going to do our due diligence with the notification system we're really going to push we have a lot of people that are signed up for it most of them use that as their reminder they don't want to be at risk of getting that that tag penalty a lot of them are going to use it to pay their bill before they even get the $10 penalty then the district has to do additional mailers and everything if they still get to the point of a tag going out they'll still incur that tag penalty we're going to keep those amounts the same the $25 physical tag the $40 discontinuance after our turnouts if someone does they are going to be required to sign something you know agree to sending someone out and agree to come in that next business day and pay the after hours term on the other requesting that it is written to where if someone was turned off due to they moved into the home something like that that fee would be that aspect that it would be I would just find myself wondering how many bad debts we're going to wind up with and not being collected because of this you know they're just barely hanging in there they don't pay their bill 84 days go pay for 85 days and they just say we are that's one of the reasons why I wanted to make the owner-tenant relationship much more specific in this policy to where the owner is ultimately responsible it is a currency of the district to allow tenants to sign up for water service you as a homeowner are still responsible to ensure that that utility is being paid is that normal no there are some places that don't even allow tenant accounts it has to be in them does PG&E know that? no PG&E will make it follow you and PG&E will turn you off from the blue of a hat and not they leave the PG&E service area they probably screwed that's a big service area we had this problem many years ago when the tenants would just move out and leave us with the bill and then the district changed to the owner was responsible and the tenant could get a duplicate bill but the owner was responsible in our bad debt like that and then the district manager changed the game back to allow the tenant to have more control so the way this is going to work is if you're getting further in this process the owner is going to be notified that they have a tenant account that's delinquent if a tenant account gets shut off for nonpayment it will immediately revert back to the owner's account and that tenant won't be able to open an account on their own so that should hopefully help with that it does because it's become very awkward right now with the process as it is now so most of these late fees are turning off the water are tenant related? not necessarily we don't currently track how many are tenants or owners but part of this process is going to require us to notify it's actually the reverse if we think there's a tenant there we have to notify the owner and attempt to make contact with the person there and they have the right so now these other agencies that didn't allow tenants before I believe they will have to now because it states that a tenant has the right to come in and establish water service in their name and pay the ongoing bills to keep the water service on so it's a very interesting process the background I'm assuming is made for more of the larger and more popular areas to prevent owners from abusing getting utilities shut off to try and force someone out or this has to be translated in a lot of different ways it's making sure that there's plenty of time for whoever it is that's living there to give notice that their water is about to be turned off have it translated in whatever language they speak so they can understand it and have a right to run it to keep their utility on and understand it from that perspective but for a small agency like ours it's a very difficult and good good question comment first we did go through this in the budget committee and it's a pretty good detail Stephanie did a good job of presenting it it is very disappointing that the legislature sought that to do a one size small it applies to big and small and we just didn't need this kind of I think with the, I think you had estimated with the addition of the overhand ball we're going to be bumping up it doesn't account for the whole thing we're bumping up to almost one full time equivalent person that will deal with this that's multiple multiple people getting one full time equivalent now it's not like we're zero now but this is pushing that up in terms of the direct cost of us by a sizable percentage it's not, it is a material thing so it, you know, fortunately our local representative voted against it but, you know, talked about all the urban guys so the question I had was about the word interim so it was very careful with their language so it is white interim because this policy, the way we did it really needs to be formalized via an ordinance and made part of the rules and regulations but the timeline for doing that wasn't very consistent with getting it pulled out for this meeting so that staffing and staff could start implementing it before February 1st so this is a little bit of, you know, Stephanie did such a great job on the policy that we're able to just sort of implement it for now as written but it needs to get merged with an update to the rules and regulations and I think there's a few different pieces that are in the works for that and it sure would be nice to the extent we can to put all those together with a single ordinance and get through the publication requirements for that once early next year it will come back in a way that will take what Stephanie did and make it probably formalized and measured into those rules and regulations yeah, Darren has some meter staff there's going to be probably this being one of the three main chunks of the master rules and regulations review so this is kind of one, so I mean people have tiny word changes they could accept it tonight and tweak those Is it possible that based on our experiences we may tweak it a little bit as well I'm assuming that no ballot plans are likely to contact so yeah, I would say based on your experience if you do feel and you make changes feel free bring it back to the board in that ordinance and it's going to have to be when we put it into the rules and regulations there's going to be a certain aspect of making sure it works with the other provisions and the animals and rights that's going to end up creating some changes Thank you Is there a discussion? Yeah, I want to chat for a minute He said did Jepras' interest person last and I'll go on go ahead I'm thinking of a proposed change but I'm not sure this is the right place to put it but let me just put it out there for fun bear with me One day I was let in by Joe and I met Joe and the next time I saw Joe I said how's it going and he said not so good and I said why because it's Thursday and that's when he hangs in time and I had to describe the process to say we're going to turn off your water through the door because they never answer the door and he always gets the same response this plaintiff voice that says please don't turn on the water Now the 3% of 240 users is one thing and as you said a lot of them pay up and they're back in service but there's 30 that are chronic and they go off and on and off and on when they don't have water they find the money to turn the water back on again and he's there the next month turning it off and I'm just wondering if there's anything we can do for them Scott's family's got a solution they use part of their prox texts to subsidize some of their great picks it's a bad precedent I understand that but maybe there's certain cases where we can help This does give a lot they will receive multiple that just makes it worse because they have a bigger bill to pay I know that's the hardest part because it takes us time Joe's got to go out and hang the tag and he's got to go out and take the tag off so we're spending money we're really spending money for these people and so maybe a way to break this vicious cycle is to help some of these people the same way Scott's family is with their property taxes because it doesn't kind of fed all great players but they seem to be getting away with it for some of that right now that would be another discussion that we that is one of the things that I have stepped to review on I just got thrown out there because it is costing us money because we don't aside from it being something that's hard to do we don't want to encourage it to grow here that's another way to to this issue that people have a tendency to take advantage of everything in this complicated program that'll be a different discussion that we have but we do get a five-side in the order of $700,000 a year from property taxes it's a lot of money that we could use but it doesn't come from everybody in the district that's my point I utility billing policy doesn't really go into that I mean this is an item that I'm more than happy to have on a different agenda to be able to dive into Margaret Bruce brought this up in a board meeting I think three years ago and I was adamantly against it that I meant to show adamantly against doing what I'm proposing doing right now Of course, in Felton you don't pay any property tax to the district That is a good question for another time Can we put that on the agenda? Yes, but it would be great if the state would institute something like life-long billing for water and I think that would have to be for the constitution we have it for power we have it for the telephone for the reason we don't have it for the most critical part of life It astounds me that the legislature has not proposed something like that to deal with the society I'm just deciding myself Just to wrap up this and be able to make a motion and one question or comment and maybe you've seen it done elsewhere but I ran across something recently that seemed to have a lot of potential to address the type of situations you're referring to which is what if you gave all of the customers all the rate payers the opportunity to whatever the difference is on their bill let's say their bill is $100 and 30 cents what if we were to give them the opportunity to opt into a program that rounds up their bill to $100 and that 70 cents stays with us in a special fund that can be used to offset mitigating circumstances for people in this type of situation we're referring to if we went at and gave the citizens of the Water Board the customers of the Water Board the opportunity, do you want to participate in a program that's going to help because whatever it's we might have some administrative cost other than that it would be everybody the entire pool of customers participating that's essentially the program one of the programs that Margaret Bruce is looking at we look at it three years DGA has the issue of $1 the issue you're running the other department that runs another organization who gets the issues you've got if you do just a roundup your average roundup let's say 50 cents for purposes of argument that's $4,000 a month if 100% of people and then you've got administrative cost we're on a scale this thing works a lot better when you have a scale either multi utility there are some places where that provide sewer, water electric etc and so your bills are bigger or you have a lot more subscribers we're small districts and if we got a 25% take rate you're looking at $1,000 I get that that might help some number of people but from an administrative cost point of view and all the other things that we have to do we talked about this actually I think maybe the budget we'll keep it a pretty broad subject not just property tax maybe we can just make it being alternatives to be able to look at some of that because that is one of the ones that we looked into and the places that did participate you're talking about large cities counties and that's exactly what I heard from them is oh you're only they're like that's an unfortunate situation so if someone's happy with this document I'd love to know so we're talking about resolution 16 2015 we adopted someone's value water district resolution 15 19-20 interim utility billing policy second all right director ferris president swan yes director Henry director moran yes we're ready to move on to item F rates and charges I'm not sure if it's a gene or it's definitely going to take this one yeah it was a joint effort so as a separate item the board adopts the rates and charges of the district by resolution there are some changes from that utility billing policy that we would like to adopt is also what was vetted by the budget and finance we are proposing the $10 late fee and after our turn on fee at $100 which should cover the staff person's two hour minimum of going out and the third item is a surplus commercial deposit so right now the bold water station over there that we have follows the same general $75 deposit that all of our customers have that probably run into in the summer is we have bold users that are using it for commercial use that in one fill of are obviously blowing through that $75 and we have had problems in the past collecting so the policy and this deposit is geared towards the people that are using it for personal use under 10 units per month stay at the same $75 deposit that they had the people that are using it for commercial or exceeding that 10 unit per month use have to hold a $500 deposit to help ensure that the district essentially isn't getting shorted on it because unlike her personal home we don't really have a way of going after the surplus person other than saying sorry you can't fill up here anymore and they're sitting there going ha ha ha I did that to the last five long districts that I filled up that so those are the three things relatively simple the TAG fee and the regular turn on fee we're keeping the same we feel that this late fee should generate the proper amount of income to cover this process we did agree that in the six to nine month period so towards the end of next year we will reevaluate to see what's going on exactly if that fee still feels appropriate our intention is to cover what it's costing the district not you know more more than that sorry I had a little attack here sorry no no I'm just questions on that otherwise the extra administration administrative cost of doing both of these together is that what you estimated to be another full-time person well no it's not a full-time person we're going to go she said that with all of this stuff around 1998 we're going to be right at about one full-time equivalent person but equivalent that means there's lots of different people that do things together now that doesn't mean we're going from zero to one full-time we're already doing some of this around late and did you estimate it was about a half a person or 60% it was about two thirds so we're estimating this is going to generate an additional third so I'm estimating the past charges and fees to be coming in somewhere around $100 to $125,000 so does this mean you're going to be under the gun as soon as we pass this we have needs to be implemented February 1st so you have a couple months correct all of this is geared around the new utility billing process so they all go hand in hand are you worried at all about your ability to do your job after February 1st I don't want to worry for you just tell me now I would say my staff is very good at adapting we'll do our jobs then I'd say look at the minutes of telephone calls by any new saying we're going to have a blood in the beginning and then people understand it and it will then they'll fall back to you know a normal cadence so we're looking for a a resolution 16 19-20 I move that we pass resolution 16-19-20 audience check I'll do a second we can still do it we got a second good all right Director Ferris President Swan Director Falls Director Henry and Director Moran motion passes okay I'm Love G as you know the districts process of launching a new website through this process recommended there would be now would be a great time to review a desire to change the district logo staff went out and got a consultant to help us design our local consultant that gave us a pretty good price as he wanted to get established in San Lorenzo Valley staff has reviewed several designs we came up with the presentation that Stephanie will be hearing very shortly and we hope tonight we can hit any logo because now we need this to move ahead on the website and I want to slow up on the website how much was it? what does it say? $900 $900 he wants to establish in the San Lorenzo Valley he works over the hill constantly he lives in you know his local in Ben Lohman this was a more so pro bono doing a great job so if you'll turn to the screen presentation so we may not just help guide us with you know the colors are shown or just suggested we can tweak that one of the big things was a logo should be strong enough to work in black and white as well a logo where it sits alone in a vehicle so consider the marks versatility rather than how it looks by itself on the middle of kind of these pieces of paper he came up with some initial ideas from that we had you know staff put their input on which ones they liked that then drilled him down to be able to focus on some of the further concepts so this was one of his original ones a dual drop the blue obviously representing water the green representing more of you know the environment no more brown and a nice big redwood tree so from this initial one which still followed through as one of his recommended ones he incorporated some of the other things that people liked where they're like well what about some mountains some different stuff and so he's gone through and given good iterations of some of the applications for how they could be applied some of the wording you'll see change on some of them and so it's kind of gone through you all should have gotten emailed where it kind of is showing you on the front page all of them so that makes it a little bit easier to help you know have your eye gravitate towards ones that she liked so like he says it's important to kind of look at the color versus just the black and white and how it can be applied to everything and then from our past meetings that we've had community meetings and so forth you know the public has expressed wanting to have redwood trees wanting to have a stream and possibly mountains in our local well make it look more like yeah like Santa Rosa Valley so that's what we tried to do here exactly all of these different variations came in more last night so every all of the staff that had their original input necessarily had a chance to see all of them this is then migrating into one of the other the other styles it's a little bit more of an organic you know river and trine but it's definitely no cognitive bias I don't know if a field staff has looked at those shirts and that would be designed if they wanted to have things below on the front of the shirt it wouldn't be like that I was going to make sure that yeah it would be small like that I was going to make sure that we exactly I go for a more simplistic easily branded type of thing I personally like D1 the two drops no it doesn't translate color I like better than black and white the gray scale I like it in gray scale that was one of them that I cared that the gray scale I liked so you know if we were to use a black and white I would use that as the version but everyone has different opinions on all of this stuff so you know it's kind of one of the main things he's like well how do you want to stand out differently most water districts do have some sort of water element or do you want people to be able to easily identify what their business is and so in my mind at least I think it's important that right now our trucks get confused a lot with the counties white trucks they're all white trucks white trucks with these little arches square but the counties is round but for the most part it's the same colors I like the idea of something being easily identified so personally I like this one and the other ones get too busy for me but again if you're asking for my opinion and then this one with color before he just had drawn it out without really having my color element I didn't see that one is that yours James I like the way the San Lorenzo here you're going to still have to probably read the name to know what it is I can't really determine the difference that's the river right that's the river the river is too much it's like the trees it doesn't work well it doesn't work well maybe it's the color when we did the original D1 was the one that had the majority of the lights this one is the one that came in second so that's where he put his foot did anyone ask the question what's the significance of the two draws that's the first thing I asked is why two draws I mean I don't want one of them to put it in silhouette of a tree but it's still in the blue and the green what's the color it's the water environment this one's pretty good this E1 I hate to bring this up but changing the logo of a public agency is a big thing emotional I think we'll probably get a lot of agreement in the community that we needed the logo but to what extent do we want to consider community input comments whatever into a new logo I mean to me this was their opportunity tonight it is it is late in the day and just as the mission statement evokes a lot of comments if possible we might get that maybe get around for the items I mean the website it's one of those things where you're going to have so many different opinions coming in if you wanted to go back one more time to the public I'd kind of recommend maybe we get it down just two to three to give them a choice let's try to keep narrowing the amount down to our top two to three and because of this color stuff my goodness are you going to do a public poll or are we going to do public outreach around it is it just going to be the people that choose to come to that meeting they could do it very quickly you could do it very quickly because people we have email addresses to I don't think we can write because we don't solicit often we have an email or e-news letter and also agendas so there's probably enough emails you can get maybe not statistically significant but enough I think Rick you're right you don't want to give a whole we're trying to get it down trying to get you just to have a poll I think asking the question I think we should we should consider doing that because it is I mean this is starkly different from the current but they're soothing and they're not they're good we'd like to get it as soon as possible because we're trying to get the the website done and we will transition it in slowly to all of our other business cars and trucks and renewals as the time comes up as we order a new stationery or do this or do that but we'd like to get this as soon as possible so I wouldn't want to go accept any do you have things going more than a month or is that too long I mean we can put together e-news letter and solicit could you do a survey monkey or something like that inside of the e-mail list on behalf of people you know just easy thing click one two three or something like that can we put it on the website no no you can do a survey monkey that's independent of the website we've done survey monkey before that would give you the ability to very quickly gather at least some number of feedback yes that is what Rick was suggesting I think that makes perfect sense number one number one's in number one's in number one this one this doesn't include the other that was number two I wish it had been on Stephanie, number six on the first thing what is the significance of that sideways it's a river okay so you've got the tree, you've got a drop of water and you've got the river to me almost signifies environmental it's like bringing everything together there's no mountain no but I like the mountains, water, tree the mountains are nice we specifically discussed how we didn't want to meet them to Tahoe-ish because we don't want people misconstruing that we are not a snowpack or snow I think including mountain and stream is hill, whatever you might call it and spring would be a really good thing I like the sideways I like that which one is that again? well number eight yeah I would say this is three, eight, nine I like say I'd be probably the one between three or eight I like eight I would go one, eight and eight it only has better style since probably all the rest is put together I think you should pick probably two from this one and then have that other alternative the one that's kind of one and four I like eight no I agree with James but if you like eight what about nine you lose the tree in eight I like eight better than nine you gotta have the tree you gotta have the tree do we have the increase scale do you take your chair? yes I thought you were going over there to sit it's a bit of a hardest one to get to Gina what do you think do you think any great scale unfortunately doesn't work it gets busy is the part where we do use great scale all the time that's on paper I like the t-shirt that's awful big we don't want those that big okay so eight's out one out eight is out oh re was another symbol yeah three is pretty good but there's no river what did he say did he have a favorite one what about four one three eight and nine which are one three eight and nine are all he had lumped together as a similar style it's a very creative design the problem he did was where the drops overlap it doesn't work on the race scale at least the eight didn't work and the place it didn't work on the race scale was the overlap but it looks good here on this one where it's not two drops one is a that is true which is the we can go to the that's the one that's got the water oozing out of the river well he actually showed us how he did this and he just went in his head he ruined it on the paper these ones are very organic shape so they were color-buried this doesn't look like a river it looks like somebody's tongue is coming out there this is Chinese calligraphy if you could do something about it maybe if he handed it right out the circle instead of having it hanging out of the zone well it said it gets bigger it starts looking like a tongue yeah I don't think it's coming at you and I can get him I mean he can turn around and tweak these if he hasn't heard of a couple and we have specific things that we want him to modify we can do that and then those can be the ones that we send down there's no hills in Canada we can modify what do you like about what do you like about this there you go simple it's more my staff look at it it's more country we had opinions about putting three trees in there so just one and maybe a hill just you know add to it a little bit and I agree the tongue hanging out the end of it we kind of talked about that too but if you cut it off I mean it's narrower coming down is the issue with the other ones that they're two water droppings out there they're two water droppings sort of on my guard everybody else has water drops we don't want water drops well you know I looked at some hill creek it's not really I came after her it's got to be a hill it's a picture isn't it maybe just to kind of take a picture I don't want to have your I do I mean I think it's a good thing but there's no hill President's one get this in order here stand up I pick one which is one I would submit that is one of the three somebody else take a positive serious position one other one so we can have two four four Bob you're you love four does it have an E or a D or whatever you don't agree with this one well so if if we shorten the tongue on E that's not E2 or E1 or they're both they're you gotta hang around at the rest of it I was told the good for none this one is more similar to our existing logo and therefore be more comfortable which one? no E's nothing's like that IDE is a much more it's more natural it's not the drops are on one guard they're definitely sort of a modernist approach to the logo making it's a very different look it's a starkly different look we should probably throw one of each out there I agree one of each out there I still like for six I'm going for E1 or E2 oh six E2 let's read something what do you have? one is on there okay and let's go E2 then I write E2 E2 and then throw those 300 I'm sorry I'm going to miss it so take the tongue off E2 what's the third one? E2 one and E2 what's the other one? Bob likes four okay let's just call it those okay let's call it those just throw those fours on them put those on Bob's on mine so one, four, six and E2 okay we get it alright we'll do a survey I'm following the recommendation of the staff there you go that's E2 I have one D1 I have E2 what is the third? one, four, six and E2 what was it? six we got four any modifications required for these ones everyone likes those ones as is E2 we're going to go ahead and shorten the tongue and add a hill before you send an album move on move on move on move on okay we don't need a brochure we're just going to move on that we don't want your guys to be uncomfortable I mean you're going to have a split within the district even okay right we're going to do an in-house survey I mean all in-house should be voted for absolutely so did the office staff have one thing the field staff how can you do that what a guess okay we can get we can move on thank you guys first the rules and regulations yes the three items will actually be very quick the only reason they came on these are brought to you so I'm going to kind of consolidate my comments about all three of the next agenda items these show up on the agenda every year because SDRMA provides incentives for the district to have its policies and to re-opt them every year I was given these a couple weeks ago with a request for a legal review I sent them to our employment department employment department flag a number of issues that require a little bit of closer attention they sent me a couple of new policies and said here these are consistently various legal requirements pertaining to sexual harassment and discrimination disability pregnancy background checks and so on there was no way I was going to be able to take what they gave me and turn it into something that makes sense and works to the districts of their policies and their time allowed so what I've done here is these are just the single policies that are coming back to you to re-approved for the following year so that we can get the SDRMA incentive take advantage of the SDRMA incentives but with a note I want you to be aware that all of these policies need to be updated to be made current with regulations and laws related to employment and anti-dress disability so we're going to be doing that and I hope to have them back to you for an early agenda in January I'll leave it to I'll work with you and the board chair getting these back as early as possible okay can we make one motion to call three of those or do we have to make one because there's separate items with separate resolutions it would be better to have a resolution for each one we don't have public here so I'll make a motion that we adopt resolution number 1119-20 personnel system rules and regulations 2019 12 seconds should that be 2020 I'm sorry this on the title sorry we've got personnel system rules and regulations 2019 and yet on the next one we've got 2020 no that's because it says it was first adopted on something 2020 right oh you're right you're right should say 2020 so let me just restate that I know that we have got some runs out of water to resolution number 1119-20 personnel system rules and regulations strike 2019 at 2020 do we have a second? I second Director Ferris I President Swan Director Coles Director Henry Director Moran exactly the same explanation applies to 11 I'm just I'm happy to answer questions yeah I move that we have got water district resolution number 12 19-20 water district sexual harassment policy 2020 I'll second the motion Director Ferris President Swan Director Coles Director Henry Director Moran same explanation applies to 11J resolution number 10 19-20 I move that we have got water district resolution number 10 19-20 respectful workplace policy 2020 comment I'm looking for I don't see it now but I thought somewhere in this one it talked about who needs training on this and specifically address supervisory people on staff right? I don't know that this policy I think Ben's a requirement I don't know I thought I was in there somewhere anyway if it is do we want to we're excluding the board members because the board policy manual addresses respectful workplace behavior that's why we're drawing that distinction I think all this plays into the updates that need to be made because that training requirement has been changed with new laws as of this year and we need to make sure that everything is consistent with that I don't remember off the top of my head if board members are covered but I sort of think they are the new one and they pushed the date out they pushed the date out later for it 2021 now? yeah I believe so till where it's not just supervisory supervisory has two hours all staff have a one hour I don't know where board members fall into that well that's what I was wondering are we excluding board members because there's a different policy for them for that or is it something we don't want to deal with yes and I think it's a good question and I don't want to make it I'm not inclined to make a requirement if the law doesn't say that it should be but if there's different perspectives on that I'm happy to consider because it does draw a distinction between board of directors employees and supervisors so it doesn't look at us differently so I'm just asking the question frankly the respectful workplace policy is an odd animal because it sort of touches on some legally prohibited some areas that are fairly heavily regulated under California law but it mixes it with a number of things that the district has adopted that aren't really based on any particular legal requirement and I'm not sure what should take in order to make them conform more closely with current law I take it closer so maybe it needs to sort of separate out some of the sexual harassment items and training related to that from the respectful workplace don't worry about it now yeah unfortunately there's too many human pieces for me to deal with at the time what we do need to pass this did we make a motion about it? yes can I have a second? okay Director Harris President Swan Director Falls Director Henry Director Murray yes so for this if nobody requests to pull an item from the agenda well under California law they'll be considered approved with if nobody pulls one from the agenda they can be approved without any discussion alternatively one of the board members could request to have an item for specific discussion on our agenda and according to the board policy manual the board does vote on these items so I have typically advised that a vote is not required because it's not under California law but our board policy manual does call for a vote on the consent agenda items I move that we adopt the consent agenda so good Director Harris President Swan Director Falls Director Henry Director Murray yes under the district reports you have the department status reports for the four departments engineering, finance and business legal and operations although the department heads are here over 400 hours did you just say it was down I should have said it you know what that was all about is there any reason to believe we can charge people we're going to have that on the agenda so we can put it together we did get a $16,000 credit commission they gave all businesses a $250 credit and this is where we're considered a business every single one of our like 60 accounts got not even close enough we'll have reports shortly on our full expenses we just got that $9,000 in fuel if nothing else we need to make it visible and transparent this is just ridiculous we don't have that report coming up we can do an outreach piece of what this cost is and what we did to keep our folks in water we had a very successful program in response but it took around the clock full staff 24-7 to do it we also identified some areas that we needed to try to figure out how we can improve on our communications our complete skating system went down the majority of it not because we do lost power it's because comcast our providers lost power so we need to look into some type of alternative or backup system for skating I'm not sure it's possible but we need to review it and look into it it's possible you can get a I'm not sure we can afford it that's the second part of all this I need my customers that's the third maybe but it's about them I notice some good news in here unless I miss something we've got a we've still got two more weeks to go but we've got a whole year without overdraft and fall free they were all yeses there was no no in any week for a whole year we've not done that we need all of the requirements for fall free the way you're it's good to note that because sometimes people feel they learn cost of violation but still we need to correct where's Bruce Bruce will basically say you've got a lot of work to do go figure in there Santa Cruz is doing their thing we're already close we're getting more we're getting more things to it that are more lean and we'll be working with the council and looking to do our water rights but seriously were we just lucky or did we do something right I'd like to think about just a amount of water and a amount of water in the streams I'd like to think it's good saturation we'll take credit if you want yeah we got a lot of work to do there yet when's the opening ceremony and foundation time we haven't scheduled it yet but soon we do our walkthrough tomorrow our final tomorrow we'll discuss that something will be there everybody will be there I just had a discussion today on planning should we invite the city council be a big dog yes anything else with the reports anybody do you have any red flags going on here no so the bill I assume that again is a bunch of construction why it's like a million dollars does it have anything to do with power outages too I had a sense to do with power outages but it's mainly there was some massive information I mean that project got going and we were getting half a million dollar bills okay multiple half a million dollars that's what I'm talking about I hope we move on more it's in service I'm going to have to show you some service and we'll be closing that project out okay anything else your last your last communication reports and you have written communications which most of you have seen the several letters that you've received yeah up to you what level of detail you want for committing the force I don't want to go into any detail I only get out of here anybody from any committee have anything really important to share with us right now I've got a question on the customer complaint log there was a hose bin that was knocked off and there was a bad smell coming out of the faucet the investigating operator collected a biological sample and there was no indication what the test results were for that sample how would we it should be in I don't think the sample came out on that before so that'll be reported next month and it'll be back on okay as follow-up information is and just wanted I think it's been a little less than a year so probably about a year so by the time the new website gets up it'll be just about a year since we started I think that's like super fast and could work on part of your team's technique for writing that through the completion we had a lot of help from the company civic plus but the content and all the rest of it you guys had to do a great job of looking forward to seeing them this is going to be a major change for the district is there a bulletin of this software she can just don't want to work to do that we're going to do it we're going to do it at the last afternoon transfer of the data and do it properly to get to where we are now in less than a year it's just unbelievable and I think it's doing the fact we all know we need to get that website changed now we're being treated next week Monday okay did everybody read the agenda of the Barnell community next week again there was an attachment that surprised me to me well you asked well it was brought up in citizens talked about it and it brought up well five well and so forth it was a state that required the testing right but then this guy asked about it and Rick asked for a report and I asked him for what it is also key it's also the subject of a film that's out called Dark Water so people are seeing do you have to do the memo well I think it's going to generate a lot more questions because it kind of alludes to the fact that we might have a problem when you're testing it there are parts per trillion level I love these analogies like protecting one greener sand in an Olympic swimming pool sand we get a Facebook post on it when all the articles started coming out and there was well that's nasty stuff that is nasty nasty stuff but of course per trillion it's not an issue but I think people are going to well I think we're on top of it well I just want to just like great job of responding make sure you get that attachment to that because I asked James to make sure I think this pertains to an upcoming agenda that's not on the agenda as opposed to like a report we'll talk about it if we add an agenda item to talk about it we're agenda items I don't think we can do that yeah also this Jeff know he is I just said meeting is adjourned

What's up guys, so I was going through one of my favorite books of all time Meditations by the groovy emperor himself Marcus Aurelius and I stumbled across one of my favorite quotes Which doesn't get a lot of Recognition but is quite deep so I'm gonna share that with you and let's discuss about it now Marcus Aurelius said Both the longest lived and the earliest to die suffer the same loss It is only the present moment of which either stands to be deprived And if indeed this is all he has he cannot lose what he does not have Now if you really think about that I quote that's It's some deep shit and Marcus Aurelius is saying well my interpretation of the quote is that It doesn't matter how long you live, right? The shortest lived Ten years old the longest lived 90 years old a hundred years old All that we actually have to lose in life is the present moment when we die because the present moment is All that is real Sure, a lot of people say the past is real, right? Of course, it's really experienced it But is it really when you recall memories? We know for a fact that everything changes if things have changed based off your subjective experience and based off How many times you recall that memory and changed it, right? Or the future is just a projection of what you think is gonna happen in your mind, right? So that's not real so the past these memories that you have of things that have happened have been skewed With your perception and the future these predictions that you have which are most likely not even gonna occur Those two things are not as real or cannot be compared to what you're experiencing right now Which you're experiencing right now the present moment is as really as you can get this is what life truly is so It's not about how long you live but about how present you are and if you think about it Try remember I was told people to do this exercise try remember what you did yesterday, right? You might remember getting up in the morning. You might remember making your breakfast commuting to work Maybe a little conversation you have somewhere, right? You might remember a few things, right? Fair enough But you're not gonna remember the whole day, right? Okay, let's go further back try remember what you did around this time two to three years ago Just a random day You probably want to remember anything you did that day or you might remember one thing that you did that day one vignette One snapshot of something that you did, right? So in life what I've noticed is our memories Only remember select things a Huge chunk of life that we experienced 95% maybe or maybe even 99% Literally gets deleted literally goes into the ether it gets forgotten. It's almost as if you didn't live that day, right? So here is where the key is if you want present that day, and you don't remember that day. Did you really live that day? Presence brings meaning to life Any experience that you had where you actually remember where the memory is vivid where it's stuck in your head and you Can taste it during that experience you were very present, right? think of If you're a parent to the birth of your child, right or the day you got your first kiss or The day you're in a car accident things like that things are out of the ordinary We tend to remember because they force us into presence. They force us into the now So we remember those events, but mundane things that we do watering the garden Eating breakfast we don't remember those things because when we're doing those things We're not even focusing on the present moment work in our heads so if you want to have more substance in your life if you want to Be 80 years old and look back and remember a lot of things and have meaning in your life You need to learn to be more mindful you need to learn to be more present To respect the present moment more right because the present moment is all that we have is all that We can be deprived of if you're constantly in your head constantly living in the dream world of the past and The speculations of the future of course, you're not gonna remember those events right and Yeah, your life's gonna be there's a big void of select things. So that's what I think the quotes all about Marcus Reales is highlighting the importance of presence. So it's not about how long you live It's about present. You are I rather live 30 years of presence of mindfulness than 80 years of unconscious just kind of Forgetting everything going where the wind pushes me, right? You gotta live with the intention of living Hey guys, that's the video for today Make sure you pick up Marcus Reales is mindfulness. I want to put a little cheeky I feel your link in the description where you can get this from Amazon, of course Cheeky cheeky little feeling This book is gold. I haven't even read the whole thing to be honest with you like I've just been going through it over the years just reading little lines here and there and There's always something new to learn. It's it's just full of goodies, man Like does it get any better than this? Like I'll just flip to a random page. Let's see. What's this say? Let any external thing that so wishes happen to those parts of me Which can be affected by it's happening and they if they wish can complain I myself am not yet harmed unless I judge the occurrence something bad and I can refuse to do so It's all about perception So pick that up good stuff and I'm gonna be making more videos in the future. I'll be seeing you guys soon. Peace


So before the year ends, I'm gonna try something a little different. If you saw me on live stream, you probably already know this, but for next year's videos I wanted you guys to have something pretty to look at, you know, while we continue our journey in Unreal 5. Up to this point I've just had this fantasy night character and I think it's pretty cool, but I also think it's time for a little change in scenery. So I have spent the last few days working on fixing the original Archer demo character from my ZBrush series and try and make it compatible for our Unreal 5 system. Now as I was doing this, a couple of you asked me in the comments if I could show you what that process looks like. Basically, how do you go from a base body to a full character to Unreal 5? And since essentially I was gonna have to do the entire process for this character anyways, I figured that this time I'm just gonna record the whole thing and narrate and explain the process here for you guys. Kinda think of it like a end of the year bonus series. This kind of workflow demonstration has been a video series that I've kinda wanted to do for a while, but the reason I haven't done it yet is because, well, simply put, I can't show you guys how to create a new character without showing you how to adjust a base body. And I can't show you how to adjust a base body without showing you a naked body. And as soon as I do that, I have to mark the video as containing sexual content. And because of that, the algorithm is probably gonna shove it under the rug because it's not family friendly, so nobody's gonna find it. It won't get many views. And it would also require about 50 times more time and effort than any of my normal three-minute videos that would probably get more views. So basically, from the perspective of a YouTuber, the content puts me in a very dangerous position with the algorithm as far as views and monetization goes. And there really isn't too much for me to gain and quite a lot to lose while also requiring a lot more effort. So up to this point, I just kind of refrained from doing those kind of tutorials. But after looking around and noticing that there really aren't too many videos out there that take you through and demonstrate the entire process, and the ones that I have found kind of leave out a few details that you probably want to know when you're going specifically to Unreal 5. So for the few of you out there that really need this information and you can't find it anywhere else, I'm doing it for you. I'm not really expecting to gain anything from this series. It might be a little bit risky and it's probably not good for my channel. But I think this information is important for everyone. So here we go. That being said, if you enjoy this kind of content and information or you think that it's important to make available for other people, please consider leaving a like, comment or subscribing. For those of you that want to be heroes, I have Patreon, YouTube and coffee membership perks available. But if you just want to support for free, just leaving a like, comment and subscribing goes a really long way and helps put us in good light with the algorithm. If you would like to leave a comment but you don't know what to say, just type ALGO for the algorithm. If you remember, then I've given you a special emoji just for that reason. So just drop one of those if you're bored. It's free, simple, fast. And it tells YouTube that people interact with my videos and it helps other people find them. So I just wanted to let you guys know that the next few vids, I will be explaining the entire process of how to take a base body, turn it into a full character from beginning to end and export it to Unreal 5 in a way that is perfectly compatible with the default mannequin. If people like it, maybe I'll do it some more. So that is what we're going to be covering in the next few days because this is something I've really wanted to show you guys for a long time. So please look forward to that. And as always, thanks for watching. Hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


Everyone, this is the Tiger Financial News Network, 11am stock market update. We're looking at the Dow of 202 points after dropping over 350 points yesterday, 36,694. Big red candle. I suspect it's going to try to worm its way up towards that 35,892 all-time high. But my thinking here is that the S&P, based on the Chuckwick methodology, I'm always looking for at least a peak D in a buy mode, which is up 35 points at 4587. That's going to surpass within the next couple of days 45,98.53 to get to the leg D. But this is going to be the issue. Each one of these is like a rolling cycle. The cues are in legs C to the upside. They still have to make a lower high to make a peak D, a peak C, and then start a leg up. That'll take you until next week. So I suspect before, it'll be early November before we know whether or not we're going to get a pretty decent pullback, a breather before we go even higher. So the cues are delayed, the Dow's already got to D, the S&P could do it within the next day or two. But it'll take at least two days minimum for the cues to do that. IWM is lagging a little bit, the 200-period moving average, what I wanted to say is a 226.98 level, up $3.00. I think if we can get to the 2.850s, that's a good sign that it says it could rally a little further next week. But it's stuck in the sideways range. We'll do this quickly. Look, gold. Gold is holding steady. It's up 1.1799. But really what we're looking at is the BTC, which is the Bitcoin, made a peak D about six sessions ago, seven sessions ago. And it's up to 2885, but that all-time high of 67, sorry, 68.030, that's going to be tough. But the weekly chart says, BTC, it should do that. That's really in play as opposed to the narrow range of gold. Looking at the TLT, because that's so important, TLT is pulling back a little bit. You didn't have a big spike to the upside over the 200-period moving average. Now we're going to see, does it hang around you so that you just kind of pull back and then hold steady? This is going to be a big question. And now we're going to look at crude oil, because crude oil is trading down 49 cents. It's kind of struggling here for the first time in this major move to a peak inside the Chapman Wave. Inside track, repellent zone got repelled. It's 85.41. We're watching this really closely, because if it starts to close under 82, we're looking at a time and at least a little bit of a consolidation there. Thank you to your Larry Pizavento, Steve Rowe, and then thank you to Steve Rowe, Segwatt, Tomo Prime, Checkup Oak, former David Bittsler, and have a great day. See you tomorrow.
