In the previous class, we have discussed methods for testing of parameters for one multivariate normal distribution and also for two multivariate normal distribution. So, for example, if we have a one sample from normal mu sigma distribution of p dimension, then we can test about mu is equal to mu naught. We have seen that if sigma is known, then the test will be based on a chi-square statistic whereas, if sigma is unknown, then the test is based on hotelings t-square statistic and we have shown equivalence that the value of the t-square statistic can be calculated from an F distribution and the corresponding formula was given. We also discussed two sample problem that means, we can consider testing for the equality of the mean vectors of two multivariate normal populations mu 1 is equal to mu 2 and again if the variance covariance matrices were known, the test was based on a chi-square as well as when they were unknown but equal, then it was based on a hotelings t-square distribution. One more application of this type of testing, I also showed for the linear functions of mean vectors that we can consider the test for that. Now, another application of this is that we may consider equality of the components themselves. Now, this could be like this that for example, this mu 1 mu 2 mu p, they may be denoting the characteristics of say different components of something which may have similarities. So, now, we will try to know whether the mu 1 is equal to mu 2 is equal to mu p or not that is something like a test for homogeneity. Now, we know that in analysis of variance, we have a test when we are considering several normal populations, then it is called a one way analysis of variance test but there the populations are considered to be independent that means, the sampling procedure that means, we are having then p independent samples. Now, here by definition the samples are not independent because it is coming from a multivariate normal population. So, now I present a procedure for this, let us consider a random sample x 1 x 2 x n be a random sample from n p mu sigma. So, as usual mu vector let me write it in the row form then mu transpose is equal to mu 1 mu 2 mu p. Now, suppose we want to test say H naught mu 1 is equal to mu 2 is equal to say mu p against at least one inequality. So, what we do we write it like this, we can consider the hypothesis H naught can be written as mu 1 minus mu 2 say mu 1 minus mu 3 is equal to 0 this is equal to 0 and so on mu 1 minus mu p is equal to 0 which we can write as say 1 minus 1 0 0 0 1 0 minus 1 0 and so on 1 0 0 minus 1 into mu 1 mu 2 mu p this is equal to 0 0 0 this is we can consider it as some c matrix multiplied by mu is equal to null where c is actually p minus 1 by p matrix. Now, you see this statement which is written in a linear form like mu 1 is equal to mu 2 is equal to mu p I can consider it as p minus 1 simultaneous linear functions of the mu vector of the components of mu. So, we can write it as c mu is equal to 0. So, this hypothesis is becoming. So, we are equivalently testing H naught c mu is equal to 0 against H 1 say c mu is not equal to 0. So, consider the transformation say y is equal to c x. So, this will become then p minus 1 by 1 vector then this will follow n p minus 1 c mu and c sigma c transpose. So, let us consider y j vectors for j is equal to 1 to n and define then y bar vector as the mean vector of y i's and we can also define the variance covariance matrix based on y's as 1 by n minus 1 sigma y j minus y bar y j minus y bar prime j is equal to 1 to n. In fact, it is nothing but see this one for example, it is equal to 1 by n c times sigma x i and similarly this one is 1 by n minus 1 c times sigma x j minus x bar x j minus x bar prime c prime that is actually 1 by n minus 1 c s c prime where this s is based on x and this is simply. So, we can make use of the we can use the test statistic let us call it t y square that is equal to n y bar prime s inverse y bar. This will have t square distribution on p minus 1 n minus 1 this is p minus 1 dimensional here and of course, n minus 1 because you have n observations here. Let me give one example which is adopted from C R Rhoff's 1948 work and here n is the amount of I have used the terminology of that only which is amount of the cork in a boring from the north into a cork tree and similarly you can consider E S W this is from east this is from south and W is from the west and it is considered that n S E W this follows a 4 dimensional multivariate normal distribution with some mean vector mu and variance covariance matrix sigma and we want to test whether whether the amounts are the same on all sides. So, we can write. So, as I have explained here we can use this set of hypothesis mu 1 minus mu 2 is equal to 0 mu 1 minus mu 3 is equal to 0 mu 1 minus mu 4 is equal to 0 or we can also use say mu 1 minus mu 2 minus mu 4 plus say mu 3 is equal to 0 mu 2 minus mu 4 is equal to 0 mu 1 minus mu 2 is equal to 0 etcetera. So, we can write in any other fashion and against h 1 some inequality here. So, the experiment that was conducted and reported in Rao it was having 28 observations based on that y bar was find to be 8.86 4.50 and 0.86 and S was calculated 128.72 61.41 minus 21.02 61.41 minus 21.02 56.93 minus 28.30 minus 28.30 and S was calculated 128.72 61.41 minus 21.42 63.53. So, if we calculate the t square value here divided by n minus 1 that turns out to be 0.768 and if I consider compare to the f here then multiplied by 25 by 3 that is 6.402 and if I consider f value on 325 say at 0.01 then this is more than this. So, this turns out that this is significant that means, the amounts which are collected from all the 4 sides they vary. So, this is an application of hotelings t square we can basically what we are showing here is that we can consider linear functions here. Now, as in the case of one variable the importance of the normal distribution stems from the fact that if we consider the sums of the observations from a sample or the means of the observations from the sample then using central limit theorem we get the approximate normal distribution. Now, a similar result holds for the multivariate data also. So, we can call it a multivariate central limit theorem. So, that is one reason that why the methods for the multivariate normal distributions are widely applicable. So, we have been the following form that let x 1, x 2, x n and so on be a sequence of independent identically distributed p dimensional random vectors with means as mu and x n. And covariance matrix say sigma then the asymptotic distribution say 1 by root n sigma x i minus mu i is equal to 1 to n sorry mu here this is n p 0 sigma as n tends to infinity. So, this is a version of that I have not considered division that means, in the case of univariate we are considering divisor as sigma here, but that we are not putting here because you have a matrix here. So, at the most you can consider multiplication by sigma to the power minus half here, but that is of course, easy to understand. So, this type of result is helpful to establish that we can actually use the one sample and two sample procedures that we have discussed here for the multivariate normal distribution they will be widely applicable. Now, one more case that for which in the univariate case we had some approximate procedure that was when we are considering the test for equality of variance means, but the variances are unknown as well as we do not have any other information on them like if they are equal then we have a procedure which is the pooled procedure and for which I have presented the analog for the multivariate case also for the pooled hotel links t square, but when they are not equal then in the case of one variable we had some approximate procedures. Now, in the case of multivariate we present some procedure which is based on considering a curtailment of the observations. So, let me present one procedure here. So, two sample problem with unequal dispersion matrices. So, we consider let x 1 1, let us go back to the notation that I introduced earlier x 1 1 n 1 here this is n p mu 1 sigma 1 and another random sample say x 1 1 n p mu 1 sigma 1 x 1 2 and so on x n 2 2 this is a random sample from n p mu 2 sigma 2. So, we have two independent random samples and these two samples are also considered to be independent here. We are considering the test of hypothesis mu 1 is equal to mu 2 against mu 1 is not equal to mu 2. Let me write the summary statistics here. For example, if I consider the mean the first mean that will be n p mu 1 1 by n 1 sigma 1 and the second mean which I call x 2 that will be n p mu 2 1 by n 2 sigma 2. So, if I consider let n 1 mu 2 mu 1 by n 1 is equal to n 2 is equal to n. Then, if I consider y bar that is equal to x bar 1 minus x bar 2 then that will be normal mu 1 minus mu 2 1 by n sigma 1 plus sigma 2. You can see here that is this because of this coefficient getting n 1 1 by n 1 and 1 by n 2 being same I can combine this sigma 1 plus sigma 2. And therefore, I can consider here say y j is equal to x 1 j minus x 2 j. Based on this we can define s is equal to 1 by n minus 1 sigma y j minus y bar y j minus y bar transpose. And we can consider hotellings t square n y bar prime s inverse y bar. So, this will follow t square on n minus 1 when h naught is true. So, this gives a generalization of paired t test the paired t test that we defined in the case of univariate populations which is used for univariate populations. Now, let us consider the second case which is the more important one that is n 1 is not equal to n 2. So, if n 1 is not equal to n 2 without loss of generality let us consider that n 1 is less than n 2. In this case let us define say y j that is equal to x j 1 minus square root n 1 by n 2 x j 2 plus 1 by root n 1 n 2 sigma x k 2 k equal to 1 by n 2 by n 1 to n 1 minus 1 by n 2 sigma r is equal to 1 to n 2 x r 2. You see here that in what way we have defined see this is the observations from the first sample and here the observations from the second sample are considered here. This definition we are considering from 1 to n 1. So, the remaining observations that we are putting together here let us see the effect here. If I consider the mean of this then I get here the mean of the first one that is mu 1 minus root n 1 by n 2 the mean of the second one that is mu 2 plus now here the mean of x k 2 is mu 2 and these are n 1 observations. So, it becomes n 1 by root n 1 n 2 mu 2 minus and here it will become n 2 by n 2 mu 2. You look at this terms here this term will simply get cancelled out. So, we are actually getting mu 1 minus mu 2 that means, if we base our test on the mean of y j's then it will be able to test about equality of mu 1 and mu 2. Also let us consider the covariance matrix between say 2 observations say y alpha and y beta that is equal to expectation of y alpha minus y beta minus expectation y beta transpose. So, this we expand this is equal to x alpha 1 minus mu 1 minus root n 1 by n 2 x j 2 minus mu 2 plus 1 by root n 1 n 2 sigma r is equal to 1 to n 1. So, this is k equal to 1 to n 1 x k 2 minus mu 2 minus 1 by n 2 sigma x r 2 minus mu 2 this is from r is equal to 1 to n 2 into this transpose. Now, if we consider this if I consider this into the first term here then that will give me simply the first one that is sigma 1 the variance covariance matrix of x alpha and let us adjust the terms for the other one also. So, this gives us that is equal to this coefficients we combine together delta alpha beta see this delta alpha beta will be 1 when alpha is equal to beta otherwise it is 0 sigma 1 plus n 1 by n 2 delta alpha beta sigma 2 plus sigma 2 minus 2 by n 2 plus n 1 by n 2 minus twice n 1 by square root n 1 n 2 n 2 plus n 2 by n 2 square plus 2 by n 2 root n 1 by n 2. So, after simplification I get simply delta alpha beta sigma 1 plus n 1 by n 2 sigma 2. So, based on this I can easily define suitable n 2 by n 2 sigma 2. So, this is the first statistic for testing mu 1 is equal to mu 2 it is based on.   So, this procedure was proposed by Shafi in 1943 for the univariate case and Shafi actually showed that this gives us the shortest confidence interval for the t distribution for using the t distribution and here we are actually making sacrifice of some of the observations and Bennett in 1951 he gave an extension to the multivariate case. Now, one can actually consider it for several populations also when we are considering the linear combinations. So, what you will have to do you have to consider the minimum sample size of all the observations and based on that you can construct the statistics. Let me just demonstrate that thing here this approach can be extended to more general cases. Let us consider say x alpha i for alpha is equal to 1 to n i i is equal to 1 to k. So, these are samples from n p say mu i sigma i. So, we are considering k independent samples from k n p mu i sigma i populations and we are considering testing for a linear combination of the mean vectors against say not equal where this beta 1 beta 2 beta k are given scalars and this mu star is a given vector. If n i's are equal then there is no problem then the we can combine as in paired test. If n i's are unequal let n 1 be the smallest and like in the previous one we considered based on n 1. So, again here we will do it on base of n 1 and we can define y alpha to be beta 1 x alpha 1 plus sigma beta i plus sigma i root n 1 by n 2. This is from 2 to k and now we adjust the terms x alpha i minus 1 by n 1 sigma beta is equal to 1 to n 1 x beta i plus 1 by square root n 1 n 2 sigma x r i r is equal to 1 to n i. Then if we consider say expectation of y alpha then it is simply becoming beta 1 mu 1 from first term here plus sigma beta i root n 1 by n i i is equal to 2 to k mu i minus 1 by n 1 n 1 mu i plus n i by root n 1. This should be n i here n 1 n i this should be and mu i. So, this term gets cancelled out n 1 by n i this gets cancelled here. So, you get simply beta i mu i which is the desired term in the hypothesis here. So, we can consider and similarly if we consider the variance covariance matrix of this based on y alpha y beta minus expectation y beta transpose then that is equal to delta alpha beta sigma beta i square n 1 by n i sigma i i is equal to 1 to k. If I assume y bar as the mean of this based on n 1 observations only and so this is equal to sigma beta i x bar i where of course, x bar i is the mean of the i th sample and n 1 minus s is y alpha minus y bar y alpha minus y bar transpose alpha is equal to 1 to n 1. Then if I consider t sigma beta square as n 1 y bar minus mu star prime s inverse y bar minus mu star then that will have t square p n minus 1. So, we can consider the hotelings t square test based on this here.  So, one can use this based on the hotelings t square statistic. Another problem which may also arise that I consider the two sub vectors of the full vector and now I want to test whether they are having equal components that means like first one I write as mu 1 mu 2 second as mu 3 mu 4 then whether mu 1 is equal to mu 3 mu 2 is equal to mu 4 etcetera. So, this type of problems can also be handled using the hotelings t square let me give one example. Suppose, I consider x 1 and x 2 here and mu is equal to say mu 1 mu 2. So, these are partitioned here these are partitioned here and similarly the variance covariance matrix is partitioned. So, we are assuming here this has q components this has q components. So, if I consider say x bar 1 minus x bar 2 then that will have q dimensional normal distribution with mean x bar 1 minus mu 1 minus mu 2 and variance covariance matrix sigma star where the sigma star can be then written as sigma 1 1 minus sigma 2 1 minus sigma 1 2 plus sigma 2 2. So, if we want to test say h naught mu 1 is equal to mu 2 against say h 1 mu 1 is not equal to mu 2.  So, this will be based on hotelings t square on n minus 1 q minus 1 here sorry q and n minus 1 here. I have shown that various inferential problems for the mean vectors of 1 or 2 multivariate normal populations are several multivariate normal populations can be answered or they can be handled using the hotelings t square statistic. Now, we will. So, there are other things which are based on the for the variance covariance you have something based on the Vishard distribution. However, I am not discussing that part right now because the testing for the variance covariance matrix will be somewhat little more complicated rather we move over to a more practical oriented problem which is called a problem of classification. So, let me introduce this problem here problem of classification of observations. So, quite frequently we are encountered with various kind of problems for example, you consider a new entrant to a for example, college. Now, the students of a college can be described into two parts one who go for an academic career and another who go for a corporate job. So, now, you based on the previous data we have the distributions of the two students performances. Now, if a new student is considered then to which group he would belong to. Now, this kind of problem can be considered in a more general setting we have k population say pi 1 pi 2 pi k. We have k populations say pi 1 pi 2 pi k we want to classify a new observation x into one of the k populations. So, broadly speaking this is the problem of classification. Now, here there can be several variations for example, we may know the forms of pi 1 pi 2 pi k for example, this could be normal say mu 1 sigma 1 normal mu 2 sigma 2 normal mu k sigma k. And now we have a another vector say x new observable we want to classify where it will belong to. Here it could be that mu 1 sigma 1 mu 2 sigma 2 mu k sigma k are known. There could be another problem when these parameters are unknown in that case we need some sort of observations from each of the populations because then we will need to estimate mu 1 mu 2 mu k and sigma 1 sigma 2 sigma k. So, in that case these are called training samples there can be yet another type of problem when the forms of pi 1 pi 2 pi k are completely unknown. So, in that case we have non parametric procedures. So, let me introduce this problem that means, what are the procedures and in what way we can study this. So, what are the standards of good classification? In a very rough way or simple way we can say if we classify an observation into one of the population then either it is a correct classification or it is a incorrect classification. So, a criteria for checking the goodness of the classification procedure could be the probability of incorrect classification that means, we call it the probability of misclassification. So, if the probability of the misclassification remains low then it is a good procedure. So, it is something like in the testing of hypothesis problem where we accept or reject the hypothesis based on the sample. Now, the hypothesis could have been true and we would have rejected it and the hypothesis could have been false and we could have accepted there were the two kinds of errors, but when we are dealing with the k populations here in the classification then the probability of misclassification or the probability of correct classification also becomes manifold that means, an observation could have belong to pi 1 and we classify it as pi 2 then observation could have been from pi 1, we could have classified it as pi 3 and so on and similarly the other way around that means, the observation could be from any of the pi j and we can classify it as one of the pi i's. Along with that we can also have the cost of misclassification along with the probability another additional thing could be that if you do the wrong classification then there can be some additional cost. So, in a general decision theoretic setup one can also consider that. The particular case can be that if you have a correct classification you have no loss and if no cost is implemented and if you make a wrong classification then you are incurring say one cost then you can get a 0 1 loss function kind of thing. So, now let me give some notation here the classification of an observation depends on the measurements is equal to x 1, x 2, x p on that individual. So, we can actually consider r 1 and r 2 as a partition of the p dimensional space here where r 1 is the space where classify that is if x belongs to say r 1 classify x as belonging to pi 1 and if x belongs to r 2 then you classify x as belonging to pi 2. This r 1 and r 2 are disjoint regions in the p dimensional sample space. I mentioned about the kind of errors suppose in the beginning we consider only two populations say pi 1 and pi 2. So, we may consider c 2 1 as the cost of misclassification if individual is classified as coming from pi 2 whereas, he actually came from pi 1. Similarly, we can consider c 1 2 that is classified as pi 1 and he actually came from pi 2. So, we have two costs of misclassification. So, in a decision theoretic setup if we consider it as a loss matrix we can write it in this fashion pi 1, pi 2 that is the statistician's decision and on this side we have pi 1, pi 2 that is the true population. So, if the true population is pi 1 we classify it as pi 1 then there is a 0 cost. Similarly, if true population is pi 2 and we classify as pi 2 then also it is 0. If the true population is pi 1 and we classify it as 2 then the cost is c 1 2 1 and similarly here the cost is c 2 1. So, these two terms are taken to be positive in general a good classification procedure will have minimum cost of misclassification. As we have seen in the previous discussion in general in the statistical decision making problem it is not possible to completely minimize the misclassification cost like in the case of testing of hypothesis problems also we had seen that the type 1 error and the type 2 error cannot be completely eliminated. So, there was a compromise which was worked out that you can consider fixed level of significance and then you consider the probability of type 2 error to be the smallest or the power of the test to be the maximum. So, this was one of the compromise solutions that was considered. So, if we consider it as a true population problem then it is actually a part of you can consider it as a testing of hypothesis problem and therefore, both cannot be minimize simultaneously. So, let us consider here this cost function and in what way we can consider the minimization etcetera. So, one type of terminology which we did not consider in the testing of hypothesis problem is to allocate prior probabilities to each of the population. For example, if we know that both the populations may occur with equal probability or the population one may occur with probability 1 by 3 and population 2 may occur with probability 2 by 3 and so on.  So, if the image is taken from a satellite of the earth area a portion of the earth then you know that earth area is say the land area in the whole earth is 1 by 4 and the water area is 3 by 4. So, you can allocate the probabilities p 1 and p 2 the prior probabilities. So, if you have the prior probabilities then we can reduce this number the probability of misclassification to a single number. So, you can consider the Bayesian classification rules. So, let me introduce this here now. Suppose q 1 is the prior probability that the observation came from population pi 1 and let q 2 be the prior probability that the observation comes from population pi 2. So, here of course, q 1 plus q 2 should be equal to 1. Let us consider say p i x is the so you may have a discrete or continuous distribution or it could be mixture also, but in particular let us take say either purely discrete or purely continuous.  So, we define probability of correctly classifying an observation in pi 1 which is actually from pi 1. This we write as p r 1 1 this we can write as integral p 1 x d x. So, I am considering actually the density function form if it is a discrete case we can equivalently change it to the summation also. So, I am not discussing this case separately. Let us have this interpretation. See this d x is actually it could be multivariate because depends upon what kind of observation you are having in general we will be dealing with the multivariate observations here. So, similarly we can define the probability of misclassifying an observation from pi 1 that is p r 2 given 1. That means, it is coming from 1 we classify it as 2 that means, the density is actually p 1, but we put it as r 2 and in a similar way we have the probability of correctly classifying an observation of pi 2 that will be p r 2 2 and probability of misclassifying an observation from pi 2 that we will write as p r 1 2 that will be integral p 2 x d x r 1. So, we can consider now expected loss from costs of misclassification. Let us call it e that will be equal to c 2 1 p r 2 1 q 1 plus c 1 2 p r 1 2 q 2. Let me explain this if the observation is from 1. So, the probability of the prior probability of the population 1 is q 1 and we are incorrectly classifying it into 2. So, the probability is this and we also incur a cost c 2 1 of misclassification. Similarly, if the population is actually 2 then the prior probability is q 2 and we misclassify it as 1. So, the probability of that is p r 1 2 and then the cost of misclassifying an observation from 2 into 1 that is c 1 2. So, this becomes the expected loss.  So, we consider this sample space say x not in r n because I have not mentioned the dimension here. Let us consider x here this is the sample space of x into r 1 and r 2 such that e is minimized for given q 1 and q 2 this is called a Bayes procedure. So, we will mention that how to obtain a Bayes procedure here. There can be another way when there is no prior information then I will have 2 different terms that is the probability of misclassification from first one and the probability of misclassification from the second one. So, let me define that also when there is no prior information about the probabilities of each population then we consider 2 terms expected loss if the observation is from pi 1 that is we call r r 1 that is equal to c 2 1 into p r 2 given 1 and similarly expected loss if the observation is from pi 2 that we call r r 2 that is equal to c 1 2 p r 1 2. We can give some decision theoretic definitions which I will be explaining in the next lecture like we can call about a procedure being better than another procedure a procedure being as good as another procedure and admissible procedure a minimax procedure and we will show that when the prior probabilities are known the Bayesian procedure can be determined when the prior probabilities are not known we will try to find out the minimax procedure. We will also develop the procedures for classification into multivariate normal populations. So, these things we will be covering in the following lecture.


Follow your dreams. Do you remember what you used to dream about?  We used to stay dream about stuff. If you could pick out one thing, one dream that you maybe regret not following, what would that be? Maybe it's you always wanted to be a holistic position. Maybe maybe you wanted to be a librarian or maybe you wanted to sell pickles on the side of the road. Whatever it is that you decided that is your dream, do it. Our last card was follow your passion. This one's follow your dreams and I'm going to say singular. What is that dream because you want to put all that energy into that and you could do it. You could do multiple dreams as well but if you're going to focus on one thing I'd say one step at a time make that one happen. So I know that was one of your dreams selling pickles on the side of the road. I've always wanted to sell pickles on the side of the road.

Public hearing Jane dispensary conditional use permit. 4040 highway 12. Conditional use permit 21 dash zero seven one. This is an exparte item. So we'll go ahead and start with. Commissioner Cisco. I visited the site and I have no new information to disclose. Thank you. Commissioner Duggan. I visited the site and have no additional information. Commissioner Holton. I visited the site and have nothing further disclose. Thank you. And Michelle Krupke. I visited site. I have no other information disclose. Thanks. Vice chair Peterson. I have no information to disclose. Thanks. And I also visited the site and have no additional information to disclose. So with that, we'll move on to our scheduled item today. Thank you. Thank you for your debut. Thank you. Take it away. Thank you. And good evening. It's your weeks and members of the planning commission. It is great to be here. And I'm sure it's a first of many. Projects. I am presenting. The. Project item for Jane dispensary. Let me go ahead and. Can you see my screen? Great. Let me just present. All right. So I'm presenting today's item Jane dispensary, which is a conditional use permits. File number. Two. One dash zero one seven one. And the proposed project site is located at four zero four zero highway 12. Alternatively known as Sonoma highway. The proposed. Use is to operate a cannabis retail facility with delivery service within an existing commercial building. And the applicant proposes to operate the retail dispensary between the hours of nine a.m. and nine p.m. seven days a week. The project site is located. I'm sorry about that. The project history, the applicant submitted a major conditional use permit review application on August 18th of last year. And then shortly thereafter there was a neighborhood meeting. That was held to discuss the proposed project and several neighbors participated in the meeting and voice their concerns. About the retail facility. And specifically its location. Because it surrounds a lot of residential districts. And I would like to just note here that even though there is no required setback from residential zones, there is a 600 foot minimum setback from any school. As well as any other permitted cannabis retail facilities. And this proposed site is in compliance with the location requirements. So the project location is in the northeastern quadrant of the city. And it is on a corner lot with frontage on highway 12 and stream side drive. The proposed space used to be occupied by a for a pet shop and there are two other operating businesses within this commercial building. The proposed site is located within the neighborhood commercial zoning district, which is consistent with the designated general plan use, retail and business services. The surrounding zoning districts include office commercial and mobile home park to the north. And then meeting residential to the east, south and west. This is the proposed site plan. And I just want to note here that as of right now, the lot has a total of 36 parking spaces. And that includes two ADA parking spaces. This is the current floor plan. Oops, sorry. And this is the proposed floor plan. The, as you are aware, the city code requires cannabis retail facilities to comply with specific operational requirements, pertaining to on site security, auto control, lighting and noise. The city code has provided detailed plans and. Reports for all of those operational requirements. And after reviewing those. Proposed plans and the entirety of the application staff was able to make the following findings for the proposed project listed here. This is a current photo of the site. This is the proposed storefront. And there are some proposed exterior modifications, including new signage and windows, but they are considered minor and they are subject only to director level review and approval. Based on the size of the, I know that says a lot. So please mind my typo there. That is meant to say floor area instead of a lot. Due to the size of floor area. The required parking spaces would be eight vehicle parking spaces and one bicycle space, which it is in compliance with because the total lot, the entire lot features 36 vehicle parking spaces. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California environmental quality act. And qualifies for the following three. And the final three. The first one is the category. Categorical exemptions. There is class one, which is existing facilities. Class three, which is the conversion of an existing structure from one use to another. And class 32 infill development projects. And in conclusion, the planning and economic development department recommends that the planning commission by resolution approve a conditional use permit to allow for the proposed cannabis retail dispensary facility to be reviewed for the next five years. And then we will be able to review that. And then we will be able to review that. And then we will be able to review that. And so that is the category number four zero four zero highway 12. And this is my contact information. If you have any questions or comments, I will also allow. Or have you meets the applicant who was on now, who will also be getting a small oral presentation. Thank you, Ms. Hartman. Are there any questions of Ms. Hartman. To introduce our. Applicants. His name is Mario Timo. Hello, can everybody hear me? Yes, we can. Thank you. I apologize. I had a little bit of technical difficulties getting. Getting on the call here, but I'm, but I'm here now. And I believe that we also have. My two partners on the, on the line, Jamie Shira and Leanne Baker. Is that true? Yes, I see Jamie Shira and. And Leanne too. Yes, I do. Hi, Jamie Shira here. Now can you hear me? Yes. Yeah. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. Oh, I think there was a delay. Hi, Jamie Shira. So my name is Mario Timo. I am the, the name on the applicant. We, you know, our company is. Is laser focused on retail dispensaries. We have one already open here in, in, in Santa Rosa and more coming. And we're excited about this, this particular low location. I'm happy to. To answer any questions. I actually, you know, we, when we, when we had our first public input hearing, this is probably. This is, this is probably six, six months ago or so. We did put together a slideshow and a document that, you know, that outlines sort of the, you know, the company mission in, in this case, I'm happy to, you know, we're happy to talk to, you know, to talk about that, but we actually didn't, didn't want to overwhelm you with a big slide show or anything like that. We just wanted to sort of meet everybody and, and tell you all what we're up to and feel any questions if, if you have them. Jamie Shira is. An owner in the company and is, has the most experience of in, in the industry out of, out of all of us. She was a founding member of the, one of the very first legal, obviously dispensaries that, that began creating a brand name for themselves. And this was happening in, in San Francisco in, in around 10 years ago. Hopefully I'd actually like her to speak a little bit to her, her knowledge of the industry and, and sort of what's, what's brought her here. And then I'd like Leanne to talk a little bit about just, Leanne is the, is the, is the COO of the company.  So if she could just touch on the operations side, that'd be great. And, and we're happy to feel it, feel any questions you, you have. Jamie, do you mind talking a bit about, about the industry, Jamie? Hi, no, I don't at all. Thank you, Mario. Jamie Shira here. I have been in cannabis since 2010, as Mario said, started my career in San Francisco, always lived in Santa Rosa and commuted to San Francisco. So spent a lot of time on the road. I lost my house in the tubs fire. So I had to relocate and pause my cannabis work. Then I've now relocated in Healdsburg, but excited to work in cannabis in Sonoma County. But so to speak to what I've seen in the cannabis industry and what's been successful is creating a safe environment where people feel comfortable talking about exploring this product as a medicine or for their, you know, mental or physical well-being, however they are, are seeking it, but specifically feeling like they're not doing something wrong. They're comfortable. They're safe. And what's worked in my previous career is really bringing a level of education and sophistication to this offering. So speaking about it in a, in a way in which we're respecting the medicine or we're respecting its use and the different, the different forms that people are really exploring it for. So really being adaptive or just being understanding to how people are trying to apply it to their life and what they're seeking out of it and understanding our consumers needs. And specifically for Jane, it's this forthcoming consumer, someone who's who hasn't explored cannabis previously, but maybe their doctor saying it's a good alternative or hey, you take a prescription that helps you, you know, helps this part of your life and maybe you need something to help with sleep or, you know, the non-traditional methods like the tinctures or other forms that people aren't as familiar with. So having products that suit those needs and in an environment that feels good and comfortable for them to do so. That's really been our kind of successful formula that we've been able to bring to market and get the appropriate audience for. And Jamie, Jamie really was one of the, one of the very first out, out the gate to create a brand in the industry and formalize it and know what's important to members of the community. What's, what is what she and we have with her help have curated is a very, very large array of products that, that, that we feel really, really service the, service the community, you know, in a way we, you know, we have, we have a lot of really, really good feedback on our selections and, you know, what we carry, we listen to the, we listen to the community and try to try to make the shelves reflective of that.  Okay, okay. So, yeah, as you all know, the cannabis industry is highly regulated and it is a challenge to navigate those waters every day. I think we're doing a good job at multiple, at both of our stores that are, that are operating now. We do have something that's very special and as Jamie touched on, you know, bringing education and making people feel welcome and included and as well as getting the right dosage, getting the right medicine, getting the right feeling, you know, when they're, when, if they do have anxiety, then this is a good way for many people to, to navigate those waters. Operating in a medical market, we do see a lot of that. And it, you know, people that truly do have these, these issues that we, we like to make sure that they understand exactly what they're getting and they're getting the right product. It's very important to us. Yeah. We do, we do have a medical license as well. And we own, we actually own a dispensary in St. Louis, Missouri that's under a medical framework. So we have a lot of experience in operating in, in that framework and also the, the medical and recreational use, which obviously California, California is. I don't, I know you guys, your guys, this time is valuable. You, you hear a lot of these, you hear a million things all the time about what's going on in the community. So, you know, I don't, we don't, we want to, we want to answer any questions, you know, pointed questions that you have and, and, you know, we're happy to do so. Thank you. Are there any questions of the applicant from my fellow commissioners? Okay. Then seeing none, we'll go ahead and open the public hearing on this item. If you wish to make a comment via zoom, you select the raised hand button. If you are dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand. Each speaker has three minutes. You see the countdown timer on your screen. Please make sure to unmute yourself when you're invited to do so. And your microphone will be muted at the end of the countdown. Chair weeks. I see no hands raised at this time. Oh, I apologize. We do have a caller, caller. 3500. You have been given permission to speak. If you would please introduce yourself for the record and then provide your comment. Good afternoon, everybody. Can you, can you hear me? Yes, we can. Thanks. All right. I appreciate the time today. My name is Bill Vreeland. I'm a resident on kentire road, right behind the proposed project. I don't think anybody doubts the, you know, the business as far as what they do and the fact that it probably fits in the area in which it's zoned. I think all the property owners, well, I can't speak for everybody, but we understand that there's a commercial component in the neighborhood in which we live. I think the underlying factor here, there's several reasons that we're concerned. And, and, you know, just to start, I think one of the biggest things that, you know, after the months have gone by, we look at it. The reason is that they don't allow dispensaries go near schools. I know there's a 600 foot setback requirement, which this location meets. So I think while the project adheres to the letter of the law, it might not adhere to the spirit. And what I mean by that is, is we're budding up right against the residential neighborhood where there's families, children, and et cetera. So I would question the location more than anything else. I know that there are several dispensaries in Santa Rosa. I would ask the commissioners, how many do we need? You know, that might not be the right question for this conversation, but, you know, I know that there are four within two miles of this location and six within three miles and a total of 13 in Santa Rosa. I admire Mario, Jamie, and Leanne for, you know, taking over the world one dispensary at a time. I'm in business myself. I don't dispute that fact. The reality is I just would prefer it not to be in my backyard. Other concerns as well would be potential devaluation and property value from perceived whether real or not, but, you know, causing our properties to devalue, parking in congestion, hours of operation, nine o'clock at night on a Sunday in a residential neighborhood. So there's several things there that make my family concerned about putting in a dispensary in our neighborhood. I appreciate the time. I hope the commissioners would decide or consider here if they are favoring fostering business concerns over the concerns of their residents, which I hope you will hear from others in our neighborhood that share a similar opinion. Thank you. Thank you. I see another hand raised. Yes. Caller 3662, you have been given permission to speak if you would share your name for the record before providing your comments. Yeah, I share many of the same concerns just voiced. Pardon me, sir. How many is too many? Can you please state your name for the record? Yeah, William Pinkerton. I'm a property owner on the stream side. And I am a capitalist. And so I don't have any qualms with what the applicant is trying to do. Like the previous caller, I just think that the location is not proper. In addition to what he cited. You also have a big homeless population. Any of them congregate around the creek area. And it's going to be a magnet for these homeless to stay over in this area more, perhaps come into the residential areas and do their thing. And so in addition, being on highway 12. That's a very good exit. To get out of town. And so in my viewpoint, you're inviting crime. So. Those are the reasons and I think it's unconscionable. That the applicant. As well as. Did we lose him? Collar. I'm here. Anyway, I was saying, I find it unconscionable that the applicant as well as this committee would allow this type of business to be open at nine o'clock at night. It just, I can't even put it together as to the common sense of that. So I'm not against them having a location. In a more commercial area. And to have as many dispensaries. I'm not against them having a location. In Sonoma County. I don't think they need anymore in Sonoma or in Santa Rosa per se, but. As far as this location, I'm dead set against it. And I'm very, very upset. That they would even consider the operating hours. Of nine to nine. I think that's an outrage. Thank you very much. Thank you. The next color is Leanne Baker. I just wanted to touch on what the last two colors have said that. Excuse me, Ms. Baker. Ms. Crocker, can you weigh in on an applicant responding to comments in the public comment period? I just want to make sure we're following all the rules. Yes. Thank you. We need to allow the public comment period to continue. If and when there are no additional comments, you can then close the public comment period. And at that time you can ask staff to respond to any of the comments. And staff can also ask for input from the applicant. And then we can continue from there. Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry about that. Thank you so much. So. Are there any other public. Comments. We have no additional hands raised at this time. Great. Thank you. So with that, I will go ahead and close the public. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hearing on this portion and bring it back to the commission. We heard. From comments from two neighbors. One was concerned about the location and another was concerned. Also about location and inviting crime and the hours. So. Ms. Hartman, can you talk about the hours? Yes, I can. We're going to continue from the commission. And then the converse of the program. The co site will be from. Nine a.m. To nine p.m. So it will be. Closed by nine p.m. Just to. Some of what the concern was for one of those. Comments. And are those. Hours consistent with the. Comprehensive cannabis ordinance. Yes. Yes. The, the code says. days a week. Thank you. Um, any other questions from my fellow commissioners, uh, commissioners? Um, Miss Harman, could you also just sort of address the concern that the public has of how many or too many, like how is Santa Rosa, um, mapping these out just so that that question gets answered? Um, yes, we do have an updated map that shows, um, the locations of permitted dispensaries. Um, I'm not sure if Jess or Director Jess, um, or anyone on the, also on the line has, um, any further clarification about how the city is going about mapping the dispensaries? Sure. Yeah, I can, I can jump in here. Thanks, um, Suzanne. So yes, as mentioned, we do map these and with every application, um, as was mentioned in, um, the presentation also included in your packet, um, part of staff's, uh, review of a project is to determine whether a project is, uh, within, uh, or what distance they are within another similar use to make sure that we don't, um, have a problem with the concentration requirements that are outlined in the code. So for this project, um, it is not located, um, within the, uh, I think it's 600 feet from another location. Um, but beyond that, the city does not limit the number of cannabis, um, uh, retail locations within the city. Thank you. Uh, other questions of staff, uh, Vice Chair Peterson. Uh, if, if you've got it handy, what are the operating hours for, uh, liquor stores under a CUP or similar? I do not have that, um, on me at the moment. Here comes Miss Jones. Yes. Yeah. So, um, I'm going to see if I can pull this up real quickly, but, um, I don't believe that the city limits the hours of operation for alcohol permits. We do have, generally speaking, uh, um, um, trying to think of the term that's used, but we have longer hours or extended hours, um, that is permitted, um, in our commercial zoning districts. And I believe in our, our industrial zoning districts also for any, uh, any retail type use, where if they go beyond a certain time, and again, I'm going to try and pull this up quickly. Uh, if they go beyond a certain time, they need to, uh, obtain a minor use permit. Um, and let me see if I can find this real quick. Uh, let's see, for extended hours, um, gosh, thought I could come up with it quickly. Um, so if you, if you give me a moment, I can look that up, but generally speaking, um, hours are not limited, but if they go beyond a certain time in the evening or start, um, at a certain time in the morning, um, it requires a minor use permit. Thank you. Uh, any other questions at this time?  Sorry to harp on the time thing. Um, but, uh, Planner Herman or deputy, uh, director Jones, can you correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the hours of operation are, are, um, held within the CUP. So if they say we want to be open from five or from noon to five PM, and that's in the application. And then later on, they want to alter that to seven PM. They'd have to start a whole process in order to do that. Is that correct? Yes. That would be correct. If they're going to modify, if they, if they want to modify any conditions of approval, um, using that one as an example, um, yes, they would need to go back, uh, to the review authority, uh, to request a change in those conditions. Okay. So basically if going from nine to nine, which is allowed by the ordinance allows them to have any operating hours they wish within the ordinance's restrictions, correct? Correct. Thank you. Any other questions at this time? Okay. So with that, um, if somebody with this item has one resolution, if somebody would like to move the resolution for discussion, Commissioner Cisco, do you want to see if Ms Baker wanted to have a response to Okay. Thank you. Uh, no, we're all good. Thank you. Okay. Thank you for circling back. Commissioner Cisco. Uh, so is there someone who would like to, uh, read the resolution for, so we can discuss the project Vice Chair Peterson? Uh, I'll do it. The, uh, I moved the resolution of the planning commission of the city of Santa Rosa, making findings and determinations and approving a conditional use permit for Jane dispensary to allow 1,997 square feet of cannabis retail dispensary with delivery located at 4040 highway 12 file number CUP 21-0771. Uh, neighborhood meeting was conducted on November 22nd, 2021, and waive for the reading. Thank you. Is there a second? Uh, Commissioner Krepke. So that was moved by Vice Chair Peterson seconded by Commissioner Krepke. Um, so with that, let's go ahead and start discussion. So we'll start with, uh, Commissioner Cisco tonight. Um, this is yet another very tight application. Um, well put together in terms of, uh, helping us see that this project meets all of the findings included in the conditional use permit. And I just wanted to say just a little bit more about the concern about being close to residential and, um, the fact that that's part of the city's goals is to make sure that these are, you know, sprinkled throughout the city, uh, increase the walkability. And so having them, you know, close to residential with all of these conditions in place for noise odor, all of that, um, so that it's, it's walkable and, um, easy to access in a variety of different neighborhoods throughout the city. So, uh, with that being said, um, I can make all of the findings for this particular project and we'll be voting for it. Thank you. Uh, Commissioner Deggan. Um, I too can make all the required findings for the project.  It's got access from Highway 12. Um, the clients don't have to go through the residential neighborhood to access the property. So I think it's actually a good site. And I think the neighbors will find out with the enhanced security that's required, uh, by our ordinance that they're not going to have a problem with, um, homeless individuals or people, um, hanging around the parking lot because that's not allowed. So I'm in, um, in favor of the project. Thank you. And Commissioner Holton. I can also make all the required findings and also be in support of this conditional use permit. You know, and, and of course, Commissioner Deggan takes my point again. No, it's, it's the same thing that we hear time and time again, the concern from residents about regarding safety and actually studies have been done to show that it actually makes the neighborhood safer. So you're going to find that it's not really necessarily a bad thing. And in regard to hours of operations, I know at several liquor stores in Santa Rosa where they're open until 11, 12 o'clock at night that are located directly across the street from a residential house. So, you know, and that didn't really, you know, have any real major impact. So I hope to, I hope some of this mitigated some of your concerns. But, uh, thank you very much. I'll also be in support of this project. Thank you, Commissioner Krapke. Yeah, I don't really have anything else to add to what my fellow commissioners have already said. I agree with just about all of it. So I'll just say that I can make all the required findings and will be in support of the application. Thank you, Vice Chair Peterson. My fellow commissioners made, you know, several of the points I was planning on making. But while we've got the public here, I mean, I think we get used to it. It's been a few years of us seeing these conditionally used permits. But, you know, every time it goes into a neighborhood, that's your neighborhood. And I think it's important to kind of speak behind the curtain and maybe discuss what sort of we see. So speaking for myself, you know, I don't see at this point a big distinction between alcohol and cannabis. And if we're going to allow one to operate legally, I think it just makes sense. And what the city decided after several years of discussion and public input was, was that they, they agreed with legalizing it and allowing it to operate as retail sales within the city. And, you know, I don't remember the specific discussion, but they did not sit a cap on the number of dispensaries. And I think the idea was, you know, one to disperse them throughout the city so that, you know, there's not a red light district kind of of cannabis.  So I think that's kind of the reasoning there that that Commissioner Cisco touched on. In terms of, again, we've heard it before, the security concerns, the homelessness issues, you know, I walk this trail frequently, I'm very familiar with, with what's going on there. And having more eyes, having a security plan, having monitors cameras does in fact, you know, despite maybe the historic reputation of cannabis, make the area safer, more eyes, you know, more people paying attention makes it safer for everybody. And again, I agree with Christopher Holton. To my knowledge, there's been no incidents we haven't seen, at least we haven't heard anything from Santa Rosa PD or anybody that there's been issues with this. So, so I'm optimistic that there'll be a good neighbor. And for the other concerns, I mean, this is a conditional use permit. So they have to meet the conditions of the permit to keep operating. And that includes things like odor, you can't detect, you know, the odor of cannabis outside the building, you know, they've got to have the security plan. And it's not forever. You know, it's only for two years. And I think with a second location, I think the applicant has a lot of incentive to be a good neighbor. So for those reasons, I can make the findings in the resolution and we'll be voting in favor of this. Thank you. I also am in favor of the project and can make all the required findings. It's a very comprehensive application. As been said before, we've been seeing these now for a few years. We hear the same concerns from every neighborhood. One of our roles as planning commission is to implement the policies of the city council and their policy is having cannabis dispensaries in neighborhoods, as Commissioner Cisco said. So with that, we'll go ahead and call for vote, please. Thank you. Commissioner Cisco? Aye. Commissioner Duggan? Aye. Commissioner Holton? Aye. Commissioner O'Crepkey? Aye. Vice Chair Peterson? Aye. Chair Weeks? Aye. So that passes with six ayes. Please note that this action is final unless an appeal is filed within 10 calendar days of today's action. The time limit will extend to the following business day if the last day falls on a day that the city is closed. For information on how to submit an appeal form, please contact the project planner. So with that, unless staff has anything else they'd like to convey tonight, we will go ahead and adjourn the meeting until our next scheduled planning commission meeting. Thank you all. Thank you.


Today we evacuated from Sevradanievsk 11 people. Today we are in Kharkiv with Asia. Asia is here today in Trostyanec, the city that was adopted. My name is Alyona, I am from Crimea. With the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine in February 2022, over 7 million people were displaced from their homes to other areas inside the country. Others were trapped by the fighting and infrastructure was destroyed. Basics like food and medical supplies were hard to find. As humanitarian needs grow exponentially, we moved quickly to scale up our response across the country. So what does this mean for people affected by the conflict? Scaling up means clean water being restored for millions of people in conflict affected areas. Damage to critical infrastructure like water mains, pipelines and treatment plants is a huge burden to people living in conflict affected areas. It's also one of the first things that needs to be restored in order for people to return to their homes. Scaling up means people looking for medical care can make it to safety and access them and more hospitals with medicine and medical equipment. Often disabled and elderly people are among vulnerable and least able to flee to safety. They are also more heavily impacted when there is a lack of reliable, good quality healthcare. Helping people reach safety through medical evacuations and providing hospitals with light saving supplies are first steps to meet these needs. Scaling up means making sure families have enough to eat. When you flee your home for safety or when your home is destroyed or when you have to hide in a basement, food can be very hard to come by. Over 7 million people are estimated to be internally displaced by conflict in Ukraine, meaning that needs are steep. Scaling up means tending to some of the invisible scars of war by providing mental health care, losing a home or a loved one, being afraid for your safety and your future. These events affect people differently and have long-term impacts. Mental health care is as essential as physical health care. Scaling up means helping people fleeing violence making it to safety. Safe passages provide a way for civilians who are trapped by conflict to make their way to safer areas. This means working with all parties of the conflict to stop fighting and agree on a route for people to leave through. This is a critical window for people to escape the horrors of armed conflict.

Hi everyone, I'm Erin and I'm a customer success specialist with Hypothesis and today we're going to talk about how to assign a hypothesis enabled reading to small groups within your class. It's possible that you have one reading and you would like to have small groups of say four to five students or even less. Read the article together and then annotate such that only the annotations are seen by other members of that small group. We're going to walk through how to do that today. The first thing you'll need to do is make sure that your reading is available in a PDF form and that that PDF is on your device. So let's say in this case, I am going to use a reading about faculty stress during the pandemic. I want to make sure I've already saved that article to my device in this case my computer as a PDF, and I want to make sure that PDF already has an OCR or optical character recognition layer added to it. Now that I've done those things, I want to navigate over to this website here docdrop.org backslash fingerprinter. Once I'm there, I'm going to decide how many groups I will assign this reading to. I have a class of 20. I'd like to assign it to four small groups within my class. I'm also going to assign a suffix to this PDF such that I remember which group is supposed to get which reading I'm going to say group. Actually, I'm just going to say class group. Okay. Then here comes the point where I'm going to choose the PDF, going to make digital fingerprints up so that I can assign each digital fingerprint to a different group within my class. I'm now going to find the PDF on my device. I'm going to select open. And then I want to make sure to choose this button that says re fingerprint. I now have four different digital fingerprints of the same PDF. I can now assign each fingerprint to a different group within my LMS. If I have these four fingerprints, I can either download them individually to my device, or I can download them as a zip file to my device. I'm going to go back over to my LMS. In this case I am using Canvas. This also works if you're using say Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, Sakai, any of the other LMSs out there. Now I'm going to add an assignment. Now in Canvas we select assignment in Blackboard you may select content in Sakai, it's within lessons, really just depends on your LMS. I'm going to call this faculty pandemic stress group one. Now you're going to have to create one assignment separately for each group. It may be beneficial to name the assignment for the group you're assigning it to. So I'm going to call this group one. Scroll down make sure I choose external tool as my submission type. Choose hypothesis. And I'm going to look for my PDF on Google Drive. Now, it's of course we know the PDFs or the fingerprints that we downloaded don't live on Google Drive they live on our device, but we're going to use Google Drive to get to those documents. I'm going to choose upload. Now I can choose the file I would like to use. So I'm going to go into my device here, search the document. And because I know I'm assigning this one to group one, I want to make sure I choose the title that has that group one in it. I'm going to select open. Go ahead and load this tool in a new tab. This is the crucial part I want to assign it to the group that I'm interested, or that the group one that corresponds to this reading, and hit save or save and publish. I want to repeat that same process for each group in my course. If previously you maybe give one assignment assigned it to multiple groups all at once. That does not work with hypothesis, you'll have to create an individual assignment with the correct fingerprint for each group. If I go back to my assignments. I can see. The next assignment I have created for group one. The next assignment I create, I will title faculty pandemic stress group two, and I will use the digital fingerprint for group two that I downloaded to my device. If you have more questions, or you want one of us to walk you through the process we are always happy to do that. Send us an email to success at hypothesis.is.

Okay, so I'm going to make a couple of videos here showing you how to set up your audio settings so that you'll be able to do your podcast interview. First I'm going to show you how to make sure that the stuff is hooked up properly. So at the moment I have my audio interface plugged in to my computer through USB and a microphone plugged into that. So in order to check and make sure that that's working properly, I'm going to go to my application so I open up a finder window and I go to applications and I can scroll down to utilities and then audio MIDI setup. I click here and then on the left side in this window I will see all of the devices currently connected to my computer. My audio interface is this one here called iRig Pro Duo and then I've got my built in microphone, my built in speakers and then the zoom audio device is the software version of an audio interface. Basically it's zoom audio coming from the program zoom. So I can see that it's hooked up properly. Now I can set this up so that the iRig Pro Duo, which is where my microphone is plugged in now, is set as the default in and out if I wanted to do that and if so I would right click on that and say use this for a sound input or sound output. I don't need to do that right now but that's how I would set that up if that's what I needed to do. Once I have my audio MIDI setup stuff right I can then set up zoom to make sure that it is finding the things properly as well. So I will open up zoom and come to this little gear icon in the top right corner and I'm going to go to audio. Now in here I can set the microphone itself. Right now zoom is using the built in mic even though I have that other microphone connected right. So I can click here and instead say please use the iRig Pro Duo. That's the audio interface where my mic is plugged in. Now it's using that mic instead. So that's good making sure that the person on the other end will hear me through this mic rather than the built in mic. Next I push the advanced button down there at the bottom and I'm going to check this box that says show in meeting option to enable original sound. That will then give the other end, well my end and the other end the ability to make sure that it sounds as good as possible for the for the listener. And then also this high fidelity music mode. Check both of those boxes. Alright cool. Then once I'm in a meeting which I will just go ahead and start one for a second here. Hello. So I can come to the top left corner and you will see now in the in the window for zoom there's a turn on original sound. That option is not present unless I click that box a minute ago right. So I would then turn that on. Now at least in theory the person on the other end of this hypothetical zoom call is hearing it better audio quality than they were a minute ago. And then I would ask them to do the same. However you as the host need to set that up on your end to make it possible for them to even have that option. So you would then direct them to go to that top left corner. Say please push the turn on original sound button and at least supposedly it will sound noticeably better. The next thing we need to set up is the internal recording settings on zoom itself.  And I'm going to make sure that I check the box that says record a separate audio file for each participant this second box down. That will make sure that I get an audio file for me and an audio file for the person I'm interviewing. Without that box checked I only get one audio file which useful is a little bit more of a pain to try to do editing and such. So it's better to make sure that I check that box first. Okay so record a separate audio file for each participant. Personally I like to have it I push this button here that says choose a location technically speaking if I don't check that it's just automatically going to go to this place that I've chosen here. Okay however I just like the reassurance that after it's done recording it goes okay I recorded it where do you want to put that for me it's just kind of like a reminder that yes it actually did record okay these other ones you don't have to turn on or off they don't matter too much. Although I do like this one the optimized for third video third party video editor simply because it just uses more standard file formats. Okay so when all is said and done I'm going to go back into a meeting again here. If I want to record my meeting I come down now to the bottom of the screen and I push record okay now it'll allow me to record to this computer or record to the cloud it may not let you do the cloud that's a more advanced setting that I have as a professor so I'm going to say record onto this computer okay I'm going to unmute myself hello this is me recording my meeting then I'm going to end it and it's going to then convert that to the proper files where to want to put it push save okay now here I am now the good the best part of all of this why we set all that up is so that right there's an audio folder and here's me okay and then here's the other person which nobody showed up right so there's going to be nothing in there except for that so then I would take those two audio files and I would put them into my editor to put them together make them sound nice and so on. Now some of that will be useful no matter what your situation is but those things at the end about using zoom itself to actually record the meeting and separate the audio files and all of that that's actually only a worst-case scenario if you can't do some of the more advanced things but I will save that for a separate video.
