Good morning, John! This is going to be on the last video before I go on Paternity leave. John, I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to work. I probably should. It's gonna be weird to take a break. I don't know what that's gonna be like. I haven't taken a break from doing this in 10 years. I started making YouTube videos when I was 26 years old. I'm 36. Wow. Whoa! But in all honesty, I'm a little worried about my ability to disengage. But before I leave you all, I have some housekeeping. I've made two videos that will upload during Paternity leave. I've already made them and uploaded them and scheduled them. One is a promo video for VidCon that will go up as soon as tickets go on sale in Australia, Amsterdam and the US. They're already on sale in the US, Australia and Amsterdam will be coming soon. Second, I will be on leave during Pizzamas, which I feel bad about because the entire idea of Pizzamas is that we make more videos than usual and I'm gonna miss it. So I made one and we're having people cover me for the other ones but I wanted to talk a little bit about Pizzamas this year because it's a little bit different in terms of our designs. This year, I decided to reach out to a bunch of my favorite designers on the internet and ask them for their take on Pizza John, which has resulted in a very diverse and weird group of Pizza John designs that I'm very excited about sharing with people. I'm wearing a Pizza John hoodie right now that you can't buy yet, which I shouldn't even be showing you. I'm also wearing a Pizza John design under here because I was just making that video. But you're not supposed to be seeing these things at all. You're not supposed to be seeing that this hoodie has that thing? Oh, yeah. These are all our test print run. There's a pile of Pizza John shirts behind the camera staring at me, literally. I'm very excited to unleash them upon the world and also I really like the video I made. So that's VidCon and Pizzamas. There's also Project For Awesome is coming up. I won't be able to talk about that much before the Project For Awesome happens. So get your Project For Awesome hands ready and if you don't know what that is, you can Google it. John, maybe you want to make a video about that. I know it's probably my turn to do that. Sorry. I think last piece of housekeeping is that I will be trying to disengage from social media, which will be very hard for me. I'm going to try to not tweet at all. There will be people tweeting as me, I think mostly Victoria, just to let people know about things that are happening, whether that's Project For Awesome or VidCon or Pizzamas or whatever. But I like creating content on my social media and there won't be any of that because I'm going to try my best not to do it. So I've scheduled some tweets for the future just so that there will be something coming out in their hashtag pre-tweet. But I can't come up with six weeks worth of tweets. So I'm asking you all to help me. Leave down below ideas for things that you would like me to tweet and have them to be about 120 characters so we can tag them and also maybe tag you if you want to leave your Twitter handle there. And a weird thing happened to me today. I got this in the mail. It's a Google Pixel phone. Now I want to be clear. I'm an iPhone user. I have no particular affinity for any kind of phone but they did send this to me because it's YouTube, it's Google, and it's this related thing. And I am going to give this to my favorite tweet. It's the XL version. It's got 128 gigabytes inside of it. I don't know how they fit that many in there. I don't believe in upgrading a phone just because somebody sends you a $1,000 phone. So I'm going to send it to one of you. Here it is. I kissed it. So you've got to leave your Twitter handle so that we can find you and I'm going to put a hanklerfish on the back of this. So now there's that. And I bet whoever gets this is going to need it more than me. And again, this is not a sponsorship. I do not endorse that phone. I know nothing about it. Choose whatever phone you would like to choose as long as it isn't one of the exploding ones. And I think that's it.  It's a thing that's actually going to happen. Ha! John, I'll see you on Tuesday. You'll see me whenever you come visit. When's that? You come to visit? You should do that.


So, if I could ask my panelists to go ahead and respond to those prompts and we can get some sound checks going. Good morning Kimberly, can you hear me. Yes, I can many thank you. Good morning Kimberly this is Andy. Good morning Andy. I can really this is Adam. Good morning Adam. Good morning Chris tonight. I think we're all here Andy. Thank you. Good morning everyone and I'd like to call to order the. August 19th meeting of the zoning administrator. My name is Andy Gustafson, and today I'll take you through this agenda. This is a remote meeting. And we are going to hold it as we would any other face to face meeting. We have our agenda and we'll go through the items in order. Today we have a new element to our agenda that we'll go through. I'll explain shortly concerning zoning code interpretations. But before we do that, I'd like to just review with you the way in which public participation occurs in this setting. As we go through the agenda items, I'll call upon staff planner, the project applicant team, and the public in that order to offer comments. And when I do, please either use the hand icon symbol to be acknowledged and be able to speak you'll have to unmute yourself, or if you're on the telephone I don't see that we have any callers. That should someone call in press star nine and you'll be recognized and be able to speak. So, the first thing we do is offer opportunity for the public to comment on a matter that's not on the agenda but within the purview or authority of the zoning administrator if you wish to make a public comment these raise your hand you'll be recognized. Seeing none, I'll now move to the next item which is our new feature on our agenda from time to time we'll be having zoning code interpretations. And today we have to the intent of this is to provide opportunity and notice to people interested in a variety of interpretations that might come up of our zoning code. So we have to as I mentioned one is a zoning code interpretation of our outdoor lighting ordinance. And the second is a zoning code interpretation regarding our allowed land uses and permit requirements for industrial districts and the definitions of terms regarding cannabis processing facilities. What I'd like to do is to ask those of you who are in attendance if any of you wish to speak to that matter, please raise your hand and we'll be recognized. Seeing none, I'll close this part of the agenda and let you know that anyone in attendance on that on these two items and also these public meeting items that are coming forward. I have a Monday appeal period and I need to look at my calendar to find out when that concludes is typically a Monday of following the week after the hearing which would be August 30. So by the end of the day on August 30, if you wish to appeal a matter that's heard or decided on at this meeting, please contact the project planner and find out how to do so. So now, we move on to our first scheduled item for this meeting and 4.1 it's a public hearing on a minor hillside development permit at 3957 Rankin Ridge Drive and the project planner is Manette Chicago. Good morning, Mr. Gustafson and thank you. I'm going to share my screen right now. So, okay. Good morning, everyone. The project before you today is a public hearing. As Mr. Gustafson mentioned, this is a minor hillside permit for the property located at 3957 Rankin Ridge Drive. The proposed minor hillside development permit is to make minor changes to revise the plans that previously were approved to incorporate the open porch into the primary residence on the north each side of this residence. And that enclosed look at the porch that is enclosed in that area will encroach into the area would slope more than 10%. And also, this permit will include an addition of 140 square 40 square feet cantilever porch, and also some modification to the pre fire driver layout, but going to explain each of those changes with detail in my slides. So, here where the project is located, the general plan then use these very low density residential and the zone for this project is PDV stands for plan development, and the site is located in RC Resilience City Ordinance. Here is the pre fire lot. As you can see the location of the house and the driveway access from their Rankin Ridge. So, the driveway access from the Rankin Ridge will stay at the same location. There are some modification made to the house location. I will also show the detail and the original house was also a two story house and the new proposed one is going to be a two story also. So these are the views from the street for the previous house from the street around the house Rankin Ridge and Chandler circle. As you can see the house was screened by some trees and landscaping. And here are the street views from the new house. Most of the trees were destroyed and burned because of the fire so you can see the two story house more visible. Here I'm trying to explain what's happening so on the left side we have the pre fire house, which was 44,322 square feet. And on the right side we have the new proposed house which is 4565 square feet. And here you can see the driveway still at the same location but there is a circular driveway proposed for the lot. That area is still going to be flat, pretty flat and it was already disturbed. The new garage will be also extended but still going to be on the flat area. So, there are some additions to the house. I'm going to also show what are the changes. So, when the building permit was submitted for the construction of the house and it was approved, it was 4206 square feet is being shown on the right side in the slide. So, this is what it was approved. Then the applicant asked for a modification to the approved building permit. I'm trying to show both of those changes in the red rectangular. So, as you can see there was an open porch on the northeast side. So, the applicant has decided to enclose that area and incorporate it into the house. Also proposing to add a cantilevered porch. This enclosure expands the size of the house from 4206 square feet to 4565 square feet. The only area that's going to be on the slope more than 10% is the green triangle. I'm trying to show it here on the left side. That area is the only one that will disturb the slope more than 10%. The porch cantilever will not disturb the slope. So, here again as you can see the area that will be disturbing the slope more than 10% is a small triangle at the corner. The rest of the house will remain on the area that was already disturbed and doesn't have a slope more than 10%. Okay, here I'm trying to, I will try to show what's happening in the elevations. So, as I mentioned, let me see. Okay, the green areas are the areas that will be on the slope more than 10%. As you can see on the elevation, the porch is cantilevered. On the lower right side, I'm trying to show where the house is proposed and where that addition will be. The proposed enclosure will not increase the height of the existing house. However, the foundation for the enclosed addition will increase the apparent height of the building from the street. And also the majority of the driveway area is on an area with slope less than 10% and it was already disturbed. So, here is another elevation. It shows the location of the cantilevered porch and where the foundation will be disturbing the slope more than 10%. I have a notice of a sense to neighbors between 600 feet and an onsite site was also posted. I have received one email from a neighbor opposing the proposed project. The comments are that the provided materials submitted for the review are insufficient. And they need to provide complete assessment of the adverse visual impacts of the proposed project at Jason properties and homes and the hillside permit should be comprehensively assessed by the city of Santa Rosa in full compliance with Sequa, including a complete visual analysis. Also, there was a request from the same person that the zoning administrator should hold the hillside permit application until completion of the comprehensive visual assessment of the proposed project and reevaluation of the Sequa compliance for the project based on the additional information provided by the visual study, including all reasonable mitigation measures to minimize the adverse impact visual impacts of the proposed project on the public and the adjacent homeowners. So, this project has been reviewed in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act and it qualifies for class three exemption under section 15303, in that the project consists of minor modification to an existing single family. Also, a condition has been added to add more landscaping along the property on the cantilever drive to screen the new foundation. And with that, the Planning and Economic Development Department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor hillside development permit for the property located at 3957 Rincon Ridge Drive. And that was staff presentation, my email address and information also are on this page for anyone who wants to contact me, I'm available. Thank you. Thank you very much. I don't have any questions about your presentation. I now have a opportunity for the applicant and they're keen to respond or add more information. If so, if you wish to do so please raise your hand if you recognize. And Monet, do you see the applicant. Yes, the architect Jeff Farrell there you go he's available. Mr Farrell please. Please unmute yourself and you're ready to comment. Thank you. Thanks Monet, no further comments we agree with the presentation and think it was very well stated. Okay, and I assume you've read the resolution and and you understand the conditions of approval.  He said we have read those. Okay. It's hard to hear for some reason Jeff I'm sorry. Thank you. All right. Thank you for the public to comment if you wish to do so please raise your hand you'll be recognized. I see one way at all I believe. So you'll receive a prompt Mr ankle and when you answer it you'll be able to unmute. Yes, thank you for the opportunity to comment. Yes, I submitted extensive written comments for the record which were just summarized that also want to bring the attention to the zoning of this project actually was approved by the fountain growth to East architecture review committee which which which enforces the CC ours for this neighborhood way back in in November of 2019. I would note that those were the original plans. To the best of my ability I found no evidence that the the property owner nor the applicants has submitted any revised applications for review and approval from the architecture review committee for any any changes including including these related changes. And in arguably the the project as it is which is essentially been appears to be abandoned there's been no active construction on site for a number of months is is arguably it currently not compliant with the CC ours for this neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you. Any other member of the public in attendance that wishes to comment. If so, please raise your hand right seeing none and I'll close the public hearing on this item. And so at this point, I do have a couple of questions for the the project planner. The application before us is really for the minor change proposed on the footprint of the building extended into that green area which was not previously considered in a in the former house. And it is, you show us that exhibit when it again. Okay, so that area in the green is where the lots disturbing slope more than 10%. Let me see. Okay. So yes, so this area is the new, as you can see, the house was staying out of that slope area. So triangle is the only change addition and the porch is cantilevered so it will not disturb the slow more than 10%. The house or this project come before the zoning administrator requesting a hillside development permit, if that additional area into the slope had not been part of the project. Because it's, yeah, it would not come to the city if it was not expanding into area that was not disturbed. Yeah. Okay. And can you, regarding the, the appellants statement regarding CC, the fountain growth to homeowner association review the project what's the city's practice regarding development of homes in areas under a homeowner association CC and does the city accept applications prior to approval by HOA's or CC and ours review. I'm not 100% sure in the past, I believe we had like approval letters from CC and ours, but recently I don't see me get any approval letters from CC and are based on what I have heard the city does not get involved with those CC and ours or homeowners association. Okay. Okay. And in terms of sequel review. Can you explain the sequel and and how this is falls within environmental review under sequel. So the sequel exams projects that are containing a single families at the property that is like a zones or already developed with the single family. The property is already developed for single family. And the new addition is to previously approved single family and is a very minor and negligible. Also the house, the area for the house was already disturbed, and the new period has been added. It can be screened with the trees cluster of trees around the house. There will be go back to how they. So the previous house was already screened the trees, we have added a condition to add more landscaping around the house so the new foundation addition can also be screened from the house similar to what it was there before. So the sequel 15303 minor additions to the house are exempt from security view. Thank you. Thank you. And also thank you for pointing out the condition of approval for landscaping and now that would be a part of the building permit when it gets issued it would be a requirement of the building permit prior to occupancy that landscaping would be planted is that correct. I believe they have to show on the building plans that they are planting landscaping in that area providing landscaping entries in that area. All right, and then finally, and thank you for your comments responses finally is it not one of the primary objectives of the hillside development permit to help avoid or minimize any visual impacts from other places such as the streets. And I see that you can you just care speak a little bit about that. So current one of the finding is okay let me I need to read my, if you give me a second I have to find my resolution. I believe I explained that in my result. Yes, finding a and I'll read it out actually site planning minimizes the visual prominence of the hillside development by taking advantage of existing features for screen including tree clusters depressions and topography. Back hillside, I tell careers and other natural features in that the proposed addition is screened by existing vegetation additionally proposed addition and modification to the driver will not result in any building height or visual change. So it is a, you do address it, I think the condition. Also condition see. So I think the hillside development permit in this place was triggered by that additional area added with the enclosure. And it is minor in terms of the overall footprint of the building that was or floor area of the building that was approved. So I think this hillside development permit has a series of findings that address visual, as well as visual impacts as well as slope impacts of development in hillside areas such as this. I think you provided. Mr. Gustafson, I'm sorry, can I ask one more thing while I was doing a site was it there I noticed that there are houses on the hill that some of them are destroyed but some of them are being rebuilt they have similar conditions like because they are on the hills. They have to add a large foundation to be able to put the house in the hill so there are some similar developments in that area. Right. Yeah, I would I would agree with you it's landscape screening for foundations and building massing on hillside it's a very common remedy to that public view impact, and I think appropriately applied in this instance. So, I will approve as proposed your recommended hillside development permit, noting the screening condition number six, as well as the other typical conditions regarding construction activities and development according to and grading I should add according to the approved plans. Thank you very much for your presentation this matter may be appealed. And it would be the end of the appeal period is August 30 at 5pm. All right let's go on to the next matter, which is item 4.2 it's a conditional use permit and condition and design review for 2558 Dakota Avenue this was continued from our previous meeting. And the project planner is Christiane Timmins. If you can give us an update where we are with this project. Thank you, Mr. Gustafson. This is Courtney estates. The proposed revisions to lock 21 and 22 of a plan development project. It was continued from August 5. Just to remind you and the audience. The plan development included to sub area sub area a and sub area B sub area is primarily a preserved wetland area. It allowed for a small number of residential units and sub area B is a mostly suburban style development. Sub area A allowed for a total of six units while sub area B allows for 54 units. The applicant is requesting to move to units from sub area a to sub area B. For the purpose of consolidating the duplex units onto two lots instead of four lots. This is what the original plan that included the eight affordable units on four lots. The applicant is proposing to consolidate consolidate the units onto two lots. It would allow for better management of the units that are required to be rental units by the half agreement. This is the proposed site plan showing those two lots and the proposed floor plans and the elevations. The applicant at your request submitted a memo. And it's titled City of Ventures Courtney States memo was submitted on August 10. And it provided reasons for the need to consolidate those affordable housing units. And I'll let the applicant comment in more detail but I as far as my reading of it, the most compelling evidence was on page two of the memo the first paragraph where it said that you know while the project was approved in 2006. Since then a change to requirements in stormwater treatment have required us to reduce the size of all lots to accommodate 13,207 square feet of stormwater treatment area. This forced us to reduce interior lot sizes and making lots 28 and 38 which originally had inclusionary duplexes too small to fit that housing type. Lots 20 and 21, which can be larger due to their location away from storm treatment areas are the only two lots large enough to accommodate the inclusionary housing. The smaller lot sizes dispersing parental units would force us to reduce the number of for sale homes on the site by two to three homes, which would reduce revenue by approximately $2 million, eliminating any any investment returns and creating a negative net margin. So to me that was the most compelling evidence in the memo that the stormwater treatment is compelling the need to consolidate those units and in addition this matter was brought up to the city housing department and they had no issues with consolidating those rental units onto two lots. So with that Samantha Houser is the applicant Samantha Houser is available to delve in further into the memo that was provided. And I can also answer any questions. Thank you Kristen and I don't have any additional questions. Appreciate your summarizing and highlighting the critical finding regarding financial feasibility and need for the question of the affordable units. I now offer the opportunity for the applicant or the applicant's agent to comment on this. So if you wish to do so please raise your hand. Hi, Mr. Gustafson thank you so much for for hearing our item again and thank you very much to staff for all the time that they've spent reviewing the materials that we've provided and that you requested. So we're mostly just here to answer any questions that you have. We have Amanda Monchamp and Ron Jones from Hunt Hill Jones here as well Amanda Monchamp is our attorney from Monchamp in Belgium who also provided that the land use memo as part of the materials. And then you know just to reiterate what Kristen A said, you know this project was approved in 2006 for for 60 homes. And what has changed since then is the requirements to stormwater treatment and the project was approved prior to stormwater LID requirements that were initiated by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board and the city in 2013. So it's, you know, it kind of just creates this ripple effect throughout the project. And again happy to answer any more questions about that. We really mostly just appreciate your time and your thought. And I'll also say, I think the matter of the issues or sorry memo you provided addresses the issues that I expressed last time about the modification to the affordable housing component of this. The financial statement you provided, I think provides a good background of what's at discussion here. Is there, is there any member in the audience who wishes to comment at this time on this matter so please raise your hand, and you'll be recognized. I see canal rouser I believe sorry if I mispronounced your name. Please be recognized. Hi there, my name is Chanel Rosa. I'm the Fox hollow development that's just going to be adjacent to this new community. I just like to readdress something that hasn't been brought up this meeting but was brought up the last meeting. There is a concern about vintage group taking over as the HOA, and I would like that to be addressed. I was someone representing city thinkers that said that they would follow up with us about those concerns. No one has, but as a homeowner here in Fox hollow, I can tell you that vintage group can't even handle the development here. I don't have faith that they're going to be able to take care of a new development. And that's my concern. Thank you. Another member of the public and attendance that wishes to comment it so please raise your hand. Seeing none I close the public hearing on this. So that at the core of this meeting or this item was a question of the financial reasons for the need to consolidate the previously dispersed affordable units in the building that was previously approved, the modification would cluster those. That issue or matter was fully addressed by the applicants, I'm explaining the financial circumstance that necessitates the concentration or clustering of those in the two lots. There are findings related to the changes, including the similarity of the buildings that fit in finish of those affordable units. And, and the modification does, in fact, fully comply with the original intent of the approved map. This project. I, I know we'll go forward and and the applicants will be able to develop it and I hope we'll manage it in a way that'll become a attribute and elevate the community. So I know they have a vested interest and ongoing maintenance of the facility so with regard to the neighbors comment regarding ongoing management I'm, I'm very confident that it'll be maintained very well. With that additional information and the resolution before us with the findings presented and the conditions of approval that were recommended. I am pleased to approve this project and again, note that if anyone should wish to appeal to this determination, you have until the end of the day, August 30th to do so. So, again, thank you much. The project came for working to bring this one forward, and moving it towards construction. Thank you. All right, let's go on to the next item item 4.3, the conditional use permit for 112 excuse me, 122 Talbot Avenue. This is a fence in a side yard corner setback, and the project planner is Adam Ross, Adam. Thank you, Mr zoning administrator. Switch up my background here really quick. Yeah, I'm going to open up a presentation that I entered into the public record now it just incorporates the project files that were uploaded online. So it's just images of those for better representation. Okay, do you see that. Sorry, we can. Yes, we can. Okay, so the project. That's okay. It's a it's the project is located at 122 Talbot Avenue project name is roughly Talbot fence it's it is a project for a six foot fence in a side corner setback. Three feet of includes three feet of solid wood fencing on the base and three feet of wire fencing above that so three feet of the solid three feet of the wire mesh fencing within the vision triangle section. And then it extends to the northern part of the, I'm sorry, the western part of the property. So where the garage is and then there's a just a solid six foot for the remainder. And it is set back three feet behind the sidewalk with landscaping to be provided between the sidewalk and the fence. So here's a here's a site plan this is a new garage under review with building permit and an ADU above it. So here's the existing driveway with the gate that is rolled that would go in here. This is a three foot setback between this sidewalk here. And, and in this section, the next slide I'll show you is where that wire mesh fencing is. So, here's the vision triangle as shown here. And in this section and exceeding to the end of the property will be the three foot with wire mesh fencing, as well as this location here for the three feet wire mesh fencing. I'm sorry so here it is. I'm going back just to show you, this is the three feet and wire mesh fencing, and then the rest here is the solid six foot fencing. Most of that's to accommodate a separate yard for the new ADU to be provided, as well as to to just update the property and deter any, any sort of nuisance thefts that that potentially go on this area. Some images of what that wood fencing would look like. And then here's that three feet of solid with three feet of wire mesh fencing above it. So then you can see in this image to it shows how that kind of connects to an existing solid wood fencing for. And again that's for compliance with the vision triangle for driveways entering into the public right away. So that the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator approved the six foot fence and a side corner setback for the property located at 122 Talbot Avenue. And I just want to reiterate what was on the notice is that this project complies with sequel guidelines section with a class for exemption in that the proposed project is an accessory structure. Such as a fence. So that is, I'm sorry 15303. So that's a class three exemption in that it's an accessory appartenant structure, which includes garages carports patio swimming pools and fences. And that concludes my presentation. I know that the the applicant and owner is in attendance as well. Thank you. I don't know if the applicant or agent wish to comment this point please raise your hand. Mr. Gustafson. Can you, excuse me, can you hear me. Yeah, very well thank you. Oh, thank you. My name is Steven Hass I'm available for questions only appreciate the staff work and Mr Ross work with him closely to address the concerns related to the vision triangle. And that means pretty much explain and justify the request. Thank you. Sorry, Andy you're on mute. Thank you. Is there any member of the public that wishes to comment on this matter so please raise your hand. Seeing none I'll close the public hearing. Right. Adam I think a couple questions one there's a what I think is a two story structure garage first floor second unit on the top is that an application or building permit submitted with the city at this time. Yes, it is. And I guess the only other concern I have and I apologize. Was there any consideration with regard to how when that gate is closed and a vehicle wishes to enter the garage. How will that take place with the vehicle not sitting projecting into and across the sidewalk into the street ordinarily these side yard fences are intended to enclose a rear yard area, typically not providing also garage driveway access with rare exception I can think of. So that that that that's just one question, and maybe I can ask the applicant owner. If they've anticipated that, because it appears that a fence is three feet from the back of sidewalk. The car typically if we think about a parking space is like 18 feet minimum 16 feet minimum. So, is that going how how will that work when somebody comes to the property and wishes to park in the garage. And just to answer before Steven adds in the the setback for the garage is still meets the 19 foot standard. So that's kind of why there's no there's no enforcement on any further setback or anything like that they provided the three foot landscape setback. And upon closure, it does provide I believe 17 feet from garage face to that closed gate portion. Right and that's and thank you for for addressing the minimum 19 foot setback between the garage door and the back of sidewalk. And also I think you call attention to the fact that the closed gate, the area that remains between the closed gate in the garage door is is tight but it will accommodate a car. My concern is when that gate is closed, somebody comes to the property. Is it going to then leave a car hanging out across the property and I think I have the answer to that but I just want to have the applicant speak to that point. Yes, can you hear me okay. Yes. I don't know that Adam mentioned in this there is an existing garage on the property that's substandard right now. And there's a gate there on this is a very unique corner lot in that the garage takes access from Talbot, even though the front door the property is from Pharaohs. So in the existing condition today, you would, and the current gate for good or not for good or not opens out, you would have to pull, you'd have to stop your car. And the gate today when it opens up opens up outward to the edge of the back of sidewalk. The actual condition will be improved by this because you'll be able to pull in a little bit farther now to open the gate. So today, you would have to stage your car across the sidewalk, while you open the gate, and based upon the existing condition and this would actually enable the, the car to be pulled in. And from the edge of curb to the edge of the gate in the new fence, and the new gate would be 11 feet, because that gate now instead of opening out or in rolls to the site, which allows also the car to be pulled in and parked behind the gate on the private property. So I think from looking at it from the existing condition today, the existing garage, which really is substandard and could not really be. I looked at it for the possibility of putting the ADU there, because it only has a one and a half foot side setback to the property to the east. And that would give me kind of a benefit to that pre existing condition and pre existing setback, but that structure is really not read, could not be re rehabilitated given the structural requirements, and the geology there a few on the building plan there's substantial foundation, it has to be built to do a two story structure well beyond what's there today. But I can do I can see that on the plan you the the existing fence that's depicted. And that existing potential call it encroachment upon the street. And it sounds like you worked out a practical solution to the gate rather than having it swinging outward you have a rolling gate which won't diminish the usable area. And on the site as someone strives to enter it. So, thank you for that that's very helpful to me. Based on on the resolution presented and the evidence and the record. I do agree that this side yard setback reduction for the proposed fence will not be detrimental and injurious to people living and working in the area. And I'm pleased to provide a sensitive to the area there are circumstances here that justify the continuing closure of the rear yard area, and I'm pleased to approve this conditional use permit or plan or use permit for the setback reduction for the rear yard at one to do the tablet. Thank you very much, Adam, and we go on to item number 4.4. And you are the project planner again, and this is a design review for 1511 range Avenue. Yes, and I have just a quick. Another quick presentation for you. And does that look normal to you. Yeah. Okay, great. So this is the minor design review for a new fence at the property located at 1511 range Avenue, it actually spans across the frontage which includes 1511 to 1539 range Avenue. The installation of a new metal six foot rod iron fence or tube steel or two tube steel fence, two new metal pedestrian gates and one double vehicular gate at the entrance on rage Avenue. And I'll show what that looks like in the next couple slides. So again, this is just an aerial image of where this new fencing is located there's already an existing fence around the property, which is pretty typical to the multifamily. uses properties in the area. Here's a blow up of that range Avenue and the frontage. So it goes across here and it's depicted and it's 20 feet behind the back of curb for fire truck standards, and it opens inward, and then it goes along here. One caveat here is in that. Earlier, it was noticed that the setback for the new fence is eight and a half feet and the zoning code requires 10 feet and in order to come back with a minor use permit for a fence greater than three feet in a residential front setback is that staff will be recommending condition of approval, stating that the fence shall be setback 10 feet behind the back of sidewalk that was already discussed with the project applicant. And they accepted those terms. And here is the fence examples so rod iron or tube steel fencing very typical. You can see through it so it's not a big block wall. Cutting it off the two pedestrian access gates, you know, or as shown here, and this is the type of electric fence opening for vehicular access here. Similar to the previous project it does comply with secret guideline section 15303 in that it's a fence which is accept accessory and an opportunity to the main use which is the, the multi family residential project. The zoning planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator approved the minor designer view for the new fence for the property located at 1511 range avenue. Thank you, Adam. The applicants in attendance. If you wish to come up, please raise your hand, Eric or saw I use a you recognized need to unmute yourself I believe there you go just just popped up. Hello, how are you doing today. I hope everyone's well. So this is a, we've been working on this property for several years now doing improvements. We're really excited about this improvement, adding the fencing along the sidewalk. I mean and I did talk a little while ago about increasing the setback from the back of the fence, which does give us the five feet around the perimeter of the buildings which is what we do want to keep that maintain that. Otherwise, Adam touched on everything that we want on that front. I do have one question that came up recently I'd like to add it and if you can go back to your presentation to where you showed the aerial image of the property. One second I'm going to pull it up right now. I just got a question for you so I'd have mentioned on this map at the southern end on Jennings, you're able to zoom in on that. You'll. Yeah, down there on the southern end on Jennings Avenue. We have an existing fence right there to keep going down down down Jennings. Where you see 152 and 523. Keep going down south on Jennings to the left. Right there that little blue line we have an existing fence right there on the blue line on Jennings Avenue, we have an existing fence right there. And what we're curious since that's an existing fence. There's certain we have to go through the encouragement permit process for this. But we would like to see if we can include the approval of the gate and the fence that we're using here on range avenue to also include the future improvements that we would do right there on that existing fence off of Jennings. If that's too much trouble, then we'll just exclude it. But we were kind of curious if we could slip that in right now. As well we would like to do the same six foot rock iron to steal fencing there with a gate. We'd have to go through an encroachment permit process through that I'm not sure how that would work. But I was just seeing if we could avoid going through design review on that one. Jennings Avenue that's not possible then we'll forego it. But every otherwise everything else is fine. All right, well thank you all address your, your comment or question there in a moment, but before I do, I want to give opportunity for the public to comment if there are any in attendance so which to do so please raise your hand. Seeing none I'll close the public hearing on this matter. All right. So, first I'll say I think the proposed fences continues to be. And the fence exhibits excellent quality and design consideration that continues to demonstrate the property owners commitment to improving the property so that I commend you for that and the city encourages what you're doing so thank you for that. The question regarding can we expand today's action to include the fencing along. I think he said Jennings or, you know, beyond what was noticed. Unfortunately, we cannot. The project description is, is really all we can act on today and the project description was limited to that the fence on on range Avenue only. Unfortunately, if you do want to seek a similar fence setback on the other side that you will have to come back. I apologize, but that that's really a to process principle core principle. And with that, based on the application materials and the resolution prepared for this project and the recommended conditions of approval, I'm pleased to approve this project. And with that that was the last item on our agenda today. So I can adjourn this meeting at 1128 August 19. Thank you all for attending and have a great day.


Hey everybody today I'm going to show you how to make basmati rice which is a long grain white rice in the instant pot and so that it doesn't stick. A lot of times it'll stick to the bottom of the pot and it's kind of gets clumpy and all of that so hopefully we can avoid that and you can make a nice delicious rice that goes with so many different things. I'm going to be using chicken broth instead of water I like to flavor my rice even if it's just plain white rice just a little bit to give it some interest. So I'm rocking Robin I'm going to show you how to do it right after our chef joke. Alright so let's start off with our chef joke this is number one number two will be a little bit later. So how do you tame wild rice with a very small saddle. Alright so we'll take our basmati rice I'm going to make one cup and we're going to place it in the instant pot. Now I'm going to fill this up with water well not fill the whole pot but just enough to cover the rice and we're going to swirl it around. As you swirl the water around you'll notice that the water becomes sort of milky looking and that's what you want to see you're releasing the starch. So drain out the water in through a strainer and then repeat the process go ahead and fill it back up and then swirl it around and drain it one more time. What I love about cooking this rice in the instant pot is it only takes six minutes to cook. Now we're going to add an equal at least an equal amount of liquid as you have rice okay so I use one cup of rice you want to use at least one cup of liquid. If you use one cup of liquid then your rice is going to turn out to be a little more al dente if you will.  Now if there's some sticking up there I'm going to just push it down. You want to swirl a little bit so that the rice is underneath the liquid. I'm going to add three quarters of a teaspoon of salt because I I like a little bit of salt in my rice and I'm going to add about almost a tablespoon of oil. Since I added the salt to that I'm going to stir this up and again make sure that the rice is evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan and not piled up in one area. So just like I said give it a little swirl and then we'll place it in the instant pot. Feel free to add any other you know spices or things that you like to your rice or just keep it simple. Put the lid on seal your vent there and we're going to cook this for six minutes on high and we're going to do a natural release at the end of about 10 minutes which means that we're not going to force the vent open. We're going to let it just sit and do its own thing. It won't totally be vented so at the end you're going to have to manually do it to force the rest of it out so it's safe to open. Alright our rice is cooking so let's get to chef joke number two. What do you get when you have fish and rice in a shoe? Shoe sheet. Alright so the instant pot went over a little bit it's been 14 minutes instead of 11 but we'll see what happens. I'm going to do a quicker release now and get the rest of the it's almost done. Yeah it is okay we've got a full release so if I just you know scrape it up it did not stick to the bottom of the pot as you can see there. You want to fluff it up and stick them together a little bit but not bad. Let me tell you it's nice and tender I can tell by the way it feels. It's a little bit of the yellow color to it because of the chicken broth. You can use plain water if you like or you can use a vegetable broth or you know like I said just plain water. Now you do have to be careful when you're adding chicken broth depending on how much salt is in your chicken broth. Mine was low sodium so I used three-quarters of a teaspoon and you know you might want to play with it maybe a half a teaspoon you can always add more but you can't take it out. You can take a little bit of parsley or cilantro if you want to basil and chop that up and sprinkle it on top if you like. I'm just going to sprinkle that in and stir it up and you don't have to add it if you don't want to. Sometimes I've added lime juice just a little spritz. The rice turned out nice and fluffy and it tastes really delicious it was nicely seasoned with the chicken broth. So if you want to try a great recipe to go with this Basmati rice try this honey chicken it is so delicious you will love it. Click the link right there on the screen. We'll see you next time.

How moving on really affects the narcissist? How does it affect the narcissist when you finally move on? When you decide that you don't want to deal with them anymore? When you realise that you're better off without them? When you go no contact? How does it affect them when you finally do that? When you are with the narcissist? They want you to think that they're fine without you, that they don't really need you.  They will make you feel like you're not good enough, or that you need to change everything about yourself to make them happy.  Because in their minds, that's just what you're supposed to do. That's your job or role in the relationship to cater to their needs, to meet their every demand.  Everything was perfect. They will make you believe that they didn't have to deal with all the problems or drama that they have to deal with with you. Their lives were stress-free. They were more productive.  Now they are heavily dependent on you. They take up a lot of your time. They can't do anything on their own. They need you to regulate their emotions. But if you were to bring this to them, they would minimize everything you do for them. They would tell you that they do everything, and that you're lazy or not good enough. Whenever you do anything for the narcissist, they're never grateful. They're never appreciative. They expect you to do everything for them. They feel entitled to your time, energy and money. And no matter how much you give to them, they will always want more. They will always act like it's not enough. They can never be satisfied. And even if you spend every second of the day with them, they will tell everyone that you're never around.  Even if you do all of the work, all of the cooking and cleaning, they will tell you that you don't do anything. Narcissists are very ungrateful people. It is impossible to satisfy a narcissist over a long period of time. They have these insatiable needs that can never be fulfilled. They can never be satisfied. You will be endlessly running on their hamster wheel, getting nowhere. They will always be miserable and nothing you do is going to change that at some point in the relationship.  If you look back, you may even notice a pattern in their behavior. The more you do, the more miserable and dissatisfied they become. In their minds, they think that if you do more, it will make them happy. But it never does. It just makes them worse. Because they cannot partake and get the same fulfillment from those activities as we can. And that just makes them more mad. You realize that nothing you do is going to change their behavior. Nothing you do is going to make them like you or be happy with you. You accept that they're always going to be this way. You realize that it's time to move on. You value your peace and joy more than this relationship. You value your self-respect. So you get yourself out of there. You walk away. And when you move on, it does affect the narcissist. Because although they made you believe that life was so much easier before they met you, that wasn't true. Narcissists are good at putting on a show. They're good at displaying a deceptive appearance. And making you believe they're something that they're not. The narcissist was never happy. They were always miserable. And being with you was a distraction from how they really felt about themselves. They were trying to escape from their miserable lives. And when you leave, they no longer have anything to distract themselves. They're forced to self-reflect or seek out another distraction. And while that may distract them temporarily, they're going to be really mad at you. Because you left them without any supply. You left them without any help or support. A narcissist cannot be alone for long. They would drive themselves insane and by leaving them, they see it as though you are attacking them. You are causing them more problems.    Because you are their life support.  When you move on, it leaves the narcissist without an emotional punching bag, without a doormat that they can walk all over. It leaves them alone to their own thoughts and feelings. Something they cannot deal with, which is why they always need a distraction. They need constant fights, arguments, or entertainment to distract themselves. And you were that distraction. So when you move on, the narcissist has to seek out another distraction. Either by talking to people about you and starting a smear campaign, or looking for another primary source of supply. Whatever it takes to get their minds off of themselves. Because although the narcissist expected you to see it as a privilege to even be around them, the last person they want to spend time with is themselves. Thank you for watching.

Everybody, Dr. O. In this video we're going to talk about the bis baguonide, so say that three times fast. So the key one is chlorhexidine and many of you, if you haven't heard of it or don't remember it, you've probably come in contact with it and then we'll talk about a lexidine for just a moment. So the bis baguonides like chlorhexidine, they disrupt cell membranes, which is what makes them so effective. So where would you see these used? The first thing I think of the chlorhexidine is your surgical hand scrubs. So the chemical that's on surgical hand scrubs prior to surgery. But also this would be in the soap that they send home with you prior to surgery. So you're going to be using it on your skin prior to surgery. So I know my dad had open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve and they had him scrubbing up that morning with the chlorhexidine soap. So you've got surgical hand scrubs, you've got surgical soap if you want to call that and then orally as well. So I'm a teeth clencher and I've had to have a couple of oral surgeries because of that. And after these oral surgeries, they give you the chlorhexidine mouthwash, which I love. I always beg the doctor for an extra prescription because I just like how it makes my mouth feel. So this would be chlorhexidine. So again, how it works. It disrupts cell membranes and thinks surgical hand scrubs, some surgical soap. And then oral rinses after oral surgery. So lexidine, maybe you haven't heard of this one, but it will become more common because lexidine can do all the same things. It actually works quicker though. It has to do with its chemical structure. But lexidine is basically a quicker, slightly more effective version of chlorhexidine. But chlorhexidine is still the most important one now. All right. So that is your bispyguanides like chlorhexidine. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

One of the big things that happened this generation with Nintendo Switch is that they went region free for really the first time in Nintendo's history. And to understand what that really means, it's just you can buy video games in any territory and play it on any Switch. That's really the big deal about being region free. Or you could buy a Switch, say import it from Japan, but be able to play games that you buy here in the United States on it, right? Same difference, just opposite results. So that's generally what region free is. And it looks like Nintendo might be cracking down a little bit on the region free-ness of things in certain examples, because one way that many fans, including myself, have been taking advantage of the region free-ness of the Switch is by creating accounts in other countries in order to purchase games and or play demos from those countries. Now this has mattered a lot in some cases, because there are some games that have released in countries like Japan that haven't released here in the United States. But again, Nintendo appears to be cracking down on this a little bit. And is this something we're gonna see them expand upon? I don't know, but that's not all we have to talk about today, because we also have an update coming from Nintendo's president himself about how Nintendo approaches new technologies. And when he's talking about new technology, it's always important we pay attention to it as we are entering a transition phase into Nintendo's next platform. And maybe we can get some insight into the mindset behind releasing new platforms by paying close attention to what Nintendo's new president, who's launching new hardware for really the first time, has to say about some semi-related things. But before we dive into that, I just want to remind you we're on our road to 150,000 subscribers. So I appreciate if you drop a like, subscribe to the channel, and you know what? Why don't you go ahead and slap that bell icon and get notified of all of our future content. All right, so the first piece we have here, we see we're on the official Nintendo Reddit because some people were doing some firsthand stuff here. We'll get into the official documents in a moment. But Argentina, Nintendo eShop has blocked foreign cards. So today from 12 p.m. GMT minus four, Nintendo eShop from Argentina blocks any transaction made with credit or debit cards that have not been issued in that country. Anyone who tries to use a foreign card in the Argentine eShop will receive error 9001-2470. Now, Nintendo also updated the error article on its support page to reflect this. This might be due to the strong devaluation suffered by the Argentine peso last Monday after the primary elections held on Sunday the 13th. It's sad for those who buy games in the Argentina eShop because most games in that shop were insanely cheap. And we can see an image of the error here. We'll click on it, see error 9,000-124. I obviously can't read any of this, but more than that, we actually have the page fully translated from Nintendo that's been updated. Now, here we are on that support page and you see error code 9001-2470. And as we scroll down, this applies to the Nintendo Switch family. So this is all the Switch models. Payment may be restricted to credit card issues in the same country as your Nintendo account. For example, a credit card issued in Mexico will not work if your Nintendo account is set to Argentina. Possible solutions, use a different credit card, try adding funds with an alternate method, adding funds using Nintendo eShop cards or a PayPal account. They're sort of giving you potential workarounds. The option to use PayPal is only available to the Nintendo account owners in the US, Canada and Mexico ages 18 and older. Mexico and Brazil, you can use alternative payment methods. So what's interesting about this, of course, is that this is the clear indication that Nintendo has obviously shut things down. That is just what they're doing and it really shouldn't be surprising that they went this route. In the end, Nintendo is worried about the bottom line and with the peso dropping massively in Argentina, what's been occurring since Monday is that people took notice. And so there were people purchasing games, digital games in Argentina all over the world. People from Japan, the United States, Australia, UK, parts of Europe, obviously Mexico, everyone was buying games from there because you could get games super cheap. You know how Tears of the Kingdom is 70 bucks? Not if you bought it in Argentina, you could get it for as low as like $30. Talk about a $40 discount. That's what we're talking about with the peso just diving there is that their money became, were so little that you could just use a foreign credit card and end up getting all of this stuff for dirt cheap. So I do think this is a bit of a one-off situation where Nintendo just wants to protect their bottom line. By the way, they're not preventing people from Argentina from getting that discount. So if you live in Argentina and you have an Argentina bank account and credit card, you're fine. You still get to get those quote unquote cheaper prices, but of course, obviously you're dealing with a money crisis probably in that of yourself. But it's just about those on the outside of the country maybe not being able to do it, although there might be some PayPal workarounds. I don't think that this indicates Nintendo is suddenly gonna get rid of region free. And by the way, region free just implies that you can buy a video game in any country and play it on your Switch. It doesn't mean that you could online go and buy it from that country. That is something Nintendo's been allowing us to do, but isn't necessarily something that is part of being region free. All that really matters is that you can buy games in any country, buy a Switch in any country and everything just works together. And that is still true. So I don't think Nintendo is taking away region free, but it is something to pay attention to. In case Nintendo starts cracking down more on this because people are always some digital buyers, especially are always looking for what country has the cheapest games. And if Nintendo starts to lock it down where we can only buy from our local country, that will be a bigger story. And as we're transitioning into that new hardware, we do need to just pay close attention if Nintendo changes the rules with the new hardware and suddenly you can only buy digitally locally. And you know what, if that's what they do, I don't think it impacts most consumers. I think most of us just buy our games locally, whether it's physically or digitally, but for those that try to take advantage of those discounts, it will be a bit of a bummer, but it doesn't mean that it's not region free. All right, just to be clear, even if they took away our ability to buy games in other countries from our Switch, it doesn't mean our Switch isn't region free. The whole point was that if you're in that country, you could still buy a game. I don't think Nintendo's gonna take this away, but it is what it is. We need to move on to our next story, because you see here we're over on Nintendo everything, and you see Nintendo's boss on companies approach to new tech. So Shintaro Furukawa did a interview in Japan and we got some interesting information here. So Nintendo President Shintaro Furukawa has weighed in on how the company approaches new technology in an interview with NHK translated by Nintendo everything, so that's why we're here. They're the ones that did the translation. Furukawa indicated rather than pursuing tech for the sake of it, it's instead about how they can lead to revolutions in the act of play itself. Also mentioned, Nintendo is pursuing new technology in general, so that's always exciting. So here's the full translation, which was provided by Tetsuma FS and Simon Griffin on behalf of Nintendo everything. So they had two different people look over this translation. Let's see what we got here. While there is no particular technology we are focusing on at the moment. So he's not gonna give us any tease on which technologies they're looking into. We are conducting research on a variety of new technologies. However, I believe the most important thing for our company is not seeking new technologies for novelty's sake. So this is the, hey, let's not just like have a gimmick to have a gimmick. I like that. But rather considering how they can lead to revolutions in the act of play itself. The idea is that if we become convinced that incorporating a certain technology can provide customers with a fresh and surprising experience then we covet its research more strongly making investments when necessary as well. Now we do know Nintendo has been heavily investing in VR. We've seen a number of VR patents. That doesn't mean that VR is gonna become this big thing on Switch 2. Although maybe some point during its life, maybe it will. After all they did to Nintendo Labo on Switch. This is the first time we've really seen the new president of Nintendo come out and talk directly about technology and his approach to doing things. And I like some of what he said. Things like when he says our company is not seeking new technologies for novelty's sake. That really feels like, hey, we're not going to be just throwing a gimmick in with our system just to have it, right? And you gotta understand, the decisions with Switch today, the IR camera, seems a bit gimmicky in hindsight. That was thrown in before his time. He was not running Nintendo at the time. And I think he's saying, hey, it's important that we don't just chuck something into a system just to put it in there, right? Just to have something different. And that's exciting because Nintendo has made a few choices that I don't think has always worked for them and really in the end sort of felt like they did it just to be different. And it wasn't necessarily a smart choice. As an example, Wii U GamePad or 3D, the 3DS. There were some choices Nintendo made that I don't think ultimately was to their benefit. And you could argue, despite it not hurting sales, the IR camera now having to be on all those Joy-Con that's just an extra part. It makes the Joy-Con more expensive and it's really not used by enough games to justify it being there. So what this does tell me is Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't necessarily have to have a new gimmick. I think all of us have been sort of being like, look, this is Nintendo. Of course, there's gonna be some new gimmick. Maybe it'll be a scroll wheel like they had in a patent back in the day on one of the shoulder buttons or maybe they'll add cameras to it or what we are learning here is that Nintendo doesn't really wanna add anything unless it revolutionizes the way that we play games. Now, Wii Motion Controls, as an example, revolutionized the way that we play games. And you could argue Nintendo Switch in a maybe not as revolutionary way, but at least in a convenience way, revolutionized how we approach mobile and home console. At least revolutionized how they approach mobile and home console gaming by putting it in one system. But if you look at the controllers, we're still playing with mostly traditional controls with the motion controls still there for the few games that wanna use it. So I wouldn't call it a revolution. It's more of an evolution of things Nintendo has already done in the past. So I like this approach from the new president where he's going, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Don't just throw a gimmick in. Don't throw some novelty feature in just to have it. Just to say, look at this different feature we have. But rather, if we do something that innovates the way we can play games, that's where we wanna focus. And it does sorta sound like when he says there's no particular technology that they're focusing on at the moment. That really tells me that Nintendo isn't looking for a way to drag us into some new play device over the next generation of hardware. They're not forcing some new way for us to do things. And I think that is very important to consider when talking about the future of Nintendo. And then obviously, there's an idea that we become convinced that incorporating certain technology can provide customer with a fresh and surprising experience. Then they cover that research. And I think that's why you're seeing a lot of research in the VR because they do see the benefits of VR but it doesn't mean they're gonna force it upon us. It could just be an option one day. So I just find this stuff utterly fascinating coming from the current president of Nintendo. Now, that all being said, it is really interesting just being aware of what Nintendo has going on moving forward. I am gonna be paying really close attention to any future interviews that Shintura Furukawa might be doing. After all, there's a whole bunch of meetings coming up with Game Developers Conference, Tokyo Game Show, PAX West. We might be getting a little peek inside Nintendo's mindset when it comes to new hardware and new technologies. But I'm just excited to get moving on into this next generation. And until our next video, I'll see you guys later.


My name is Dr. Lotti Tajuri. I'm associate professor in molecular biology and genomics in health science medicine at Bond University. I'm also a member of Dubai Future Council for community security and the bi-police scientist community. The first time I actually got an interest of mobile phones as contaminated platforms was associated with actually my wife's pregnancy. We come up to a situation where there was an emergency. My little girl was in breach while my wife was actually pregnant. And we had to go very quickly to the theater. And what happened is when there was this preparation of the cesarean, I actually saw that there were some healthcare workers walking around with their mobile phones. And really with the stress of the situation and knowing that I'm actually understanding clearly what is microbiology, I was really like saying, oh, there is a red flag here with some individuals right there in the theater where there was my little girl about to be born. That something was kind of wrong. And of course, it's nothing to blame around the healthcare workers and how they do their job. The issue was that they don't really know that mobile phones are actually contaminated with microbes. So that was the very first time where I say to myself, oh, I think I really need to do something about it. We did a survey within the hospital and we actually surveyed 165 healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses. And we found something very interesting. First of all, 98% of all those healthcare workers actually admitted that probably, indeed, mobile phones are contaminated. They're aware of that. The other thing which was very interesting is the behavior around the mobile phones. 52% of them, so out of 165 individuals, use mobile phones in the bathroom. And they use that for different reasons, from media to other social media, et cetera. And the other very interesting statistics is that 57% of them never, ever washed their mobile phones. We have undertaken a massive amount of swabs of mobile phones. And then what we wanted to do is, first of all, demonstrate that the microbes that are on the surface of mobile phones coming from healthcare workers, if those microbes were viable. After swabbing the mobile phones, we did actually take around 30 mobile phones and we cultured them in different types of petri dishes. It was very impressive. If you look at the pictures that come up from those particular petri dishes, you see a huge amount of colonies coming out of it. All sorts of type of bacteria that we found. We found E. coli demonstrating fecal contamination. We found Sodomonas aerosinosa, which is extremely resistant to different types of antibiotics. We found Salmonella, we found Listeria. Even very, very interestingly, we found parasites, protozoa. One of them was, for example, Entameba histolitica. So those mobile phones are platforms that accommodate a huge panel, a huge spectrum of microorganisms that interact to each other and they are viable. So we started the video by me, for example, working in my office and holding the mobile phone and simulating a cough. And with that cough, obviously, we deposited droplets on the surface of the mobile phone. And then because we tend to text or touch a mobile phone, what will happen is that I will then obviously touch my keyboard and do my whereabouts for my work, take a phone call or take a glass of water, etc. And then after that, I decided, of course, to get out of my office and go, for example, to a kitchen. And you will understand that because I touched my filthy mobile phones, I had actually the microbes on my hands. And then when I went to the kitchen and eat and use whatever device I wanted to use, for example, the coffee machine, or same again, you could see that spread going from again and again and disseminating itself in different areas now. It will be natural for me once in a while to use the toilet, to use the bathroom. So then I decided to go to the bathroom and same thing. So in the bathroom, you touch different surfaces, the doors, the lid of the toilet. So when you wash your hands, yes, your hands are clean. However, when you touch your filthy mobile phone, what happens is you contaminate yourself all over again. The mobile phones are our third hand. Those third hand needs to be hand washed, sanitized the same way as we want to do with our two normal hands. If we don't decontaminate our mobile phones, it means that we negate the hand washing. The solution is very simple. At least wipe off your mobile phone with a clean felt cloth, put a little bit of 70% isopropyl alcohol, but you have to be very careful when you wipe off your mobile phones with this type of material. If you really want to clean your phone, never clean your phone when it is switched on. Switch it off first. And the other advice I will tell you is probably go back to your phone manufacturer recommendation in how best you can clean your phone. All research at Bond is very clear. And this is also backed up by the literature. The best way forward to sanitize your phone is by ultraviolet C. And they are, as I said to you, some very, very great technology which is out there that do the job within 10 seconds. That will really be the solution for our community, for our healthcare workers, and for any type of professional sectors. And my dream is to get the World Health Organization, the CDC, et cetera, to embrace this technology, to first of all understand that those mobile phones are actually probably transmitting diseases because those mobile phones are a trojan horse for the enemies that we carry with us all the time, all those germs.


The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Since then, it has become a global pandemic with countries in the Northern Hemisphere experiencing higher mortality rates than those in the Southern Hemisphere. Older adults are more likely to die from this virus because they have weaker Indian systems and are more susceptible to other medical conditions such as cardiopulmonary and metabolic disorders. Additionally, many older adults suffer from low levels of vitamin D, which can further weaken their immune system and make them more vulnerable to the virus. Research suggests that vitamin D plays a key role in regulating the body's immune response to viruses, making it important to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D during times of heightened risk.
