Good afternoon everyone, my name is Rafi, I am going to talk about debugging a live Glacier file system using a special directory called Meta, so before jumping into the agenda I will introduce myself, I am Rafi as a software engineer at Red Hat, I have been at Red Hat for 3 years, almost 3 and a half years, I have worked in Commonance Lake RDMA which is Remote Direct Memory Access and Snapshot and then Tearing and then Replication. This is pretty much about me, let us see what we have for today, so we will have a quick overview of Glacier and then the architecture of Glacier as in like an overview because it involves like a demo, most of the talks involves demo, so I will explain the architecture a little bit and then I will introduce about the Meta Translator and then the basic commands it provides and then more advanced options through the metallic frames information, memory information and the graph information and the translator like master translator and then finally we will end up our session with the future enhancement and then question answer session. So as everyone knows Glacier is a distributed file system, it is a software defined network attached to storage, it has multiple nodes which participates in a Glacier to provide one single name space that can be accessed via Glacier native claims or NFS claims or SMB or we have written around libraries called LibGFAPA, you can access Glacier volume using either of this access methods and it works either through TCPIP protocol or RDMA protocol. So Glacier has a very modular architecture, so how it is achieved is using something called as a translator, a translator is a module which gets an input and it operates on that input and it passes that information and the input into the next translator, so all of the Glacier process or binaries are working based on a graph, something called as a graph, a graph is nothing but a collection of translators. So I have a picture here, it is a picture for Glacier mount process and server process. So what it does is, let us say I have file system operation, when a file system operation starts, for example a re-operation, it starts from the kernel BFS layer and then it will be given to the user space fuse process which is this process here and then we have something called as translator which is this one. So this is the graph we have, so the graph is a representation of multiple translator, so this process works based on this graph, so let us say a read operation comes on from the VFS, it will be given to the first translator on the graph and then it does its operation. For example in the first translator is the IO cache which is nothing but like the page caching, so let us say read operation comes on an offset, so the IO cache translator checks whether there is any page hit on already cached contents. So if it has a page hit, then it serves from here itself and then will be given the data into the back to the BFS, otherwise what it does is it creates a page fault and then it will be given the read call into the next translator and it flows from here to here and this is a distribute translator which does the distribution for the glacier and we have a replica translator which does the replica. Let us say we have a forward distribution which means you will have a for child for the distribute translator, let us say we have a three way replication which means you will have a three child for the replica translator, that is how it works and then the client process will be given to the server and on the return path let us say you read the content from this disk then it will flow from here to all the way to the BFS and then let us say for this IO cache it creates its source that newly created page and it works on the next read call it serves from this one. This is the basic architecture for the glacier and this is the translator model. So I explain this because when we debug the glacier we have to look into the different different translators what options they have providing and how we can look into the options, the file system specific frames and latencies all those things that is the reason why I explain this big architecture level information. So now talking about the translator which is the main talk for this so it is it provides a dynamic information about a mount process, let us say we have a fuse mount process that accessing a glacier volume but it does is it provides a dynamic information like the memory information, what are the file system operation is ongoing and what are the internal operation that resulted let us say read operation or let us say rename operation which involves a log internally so what are the operation is ongoing through the glacier mount process although all those kind of dynamic information you can fetch through the this special directory. So it is very similar to Linux Prokofas you might already know about Linux Prokofas it gives the kernel level memory information and process wise like the open FDs all those information for a kernel for a Linux operating system. So it is very similar to the Prokofas file system what meta does is in the glacier route there is a hidden directory called dot meta it is not only hidden but it is also virtual because which means you cannot see that directly even if you do LS or LS minus or you cannot see this meta directly because we do not want to return any of the reader IP calls this dot meta cannot should not be returned to the application layer because if at all you are doing a CP or R minus RF that dot meta directly should not be exposed into the top layer so that is why it is a hidden plus virtual you cannot see if you are just doing CD to dot meta you can you can you can go to the into that directly but you want see that directly in any of this leasing. So so that is and yeah so as I said it is a translator so rating a new feature in Glacier is very simple you need to rate a translator and it put it into the appropriate position in the graph. So this translator but this is a special translator it is not actually present in the graph but it is automatically loaded into every mount process every mount process in the Glacier it is automatically added so you cannot see in the graph but it is automatically added and this is used for debugging purpose and as well as the monitoring because what you can do is you can see them latency or latency for each of the file system calls you can see those how much is the latency for each translator through the meta translator and the due information this usage of for each servers you can see those information using this translator. So the good thing about is that you do not need to do anything you do not need to alter you do not need to send any signals to the processing you can just access through a directory file directory structure. So like you do not need to put a any a system type or GDP to get all those information it gives high level information like what are the frames for frame information for each calls. So I will do I will start with the basic commands for the meta translator. So I will switch into so I will give you the I have a volume here this is a very simple volume it is the volume name is called patchy it is a distributed replicated volume and it is a two way replicated and two way distributed that is two cross two these are the servers the volume is started you can see here. So the volume is started all the volumes are running so what I am going to do is I am going to mount this process. So I am going to mount this as mount minus to Glacier surface I will just quickly discuss this. So I am going to mount this into slash a mentee I am going to mount a Glacier volume called patchy into slash a mentee these are the mount options the event history on is means the eventing for the file system operation eventing is turned on for this mount process. So I am sorry it is already mounted I will first and mount so it is already mounted sorry. So this is the mount point there is nothing in here so now if you do LL you cannot see this dot meta directory LS yeah sure sure sure I will also use the this is the box. So if you do LL you cannot see that even LL minus LRTA you cannot see that dot meta directory because it is a virtual directory. So but if you do CD to dot meta it is now moved into the dot meta if you do PWD you can see it is currently in the slash a mentee slash a mentee in dot meta. Now we can see what are the information dot meta provides so I will start with simple things. So if you do LL sorry if you do LL you can see okay I will do one thing I will make it LL. So you can do this command line arguments memory information process latency UUID of the process version. So I will start with version so version is very simple it provides the Glacier version as a JSON format actually there are I mean ages there actually. So the package version is 31010 so and then you can see the command line arguments so you can see the command line arguments which is this mount process is started the process is user local has been Glacier of us and the argument is the history so on and the whole file server which is which means the server host name and then the volume ID which is the volume name and then the mount point this is the process which is started and then the information about the log in. So in most cases we wonder where is the logging file is so if sometimes you can configure it through the command line when the process starts or you can configure it with volume options but if you do not know you do not need to you do not need to search for this volume file what you can do is you can just go to the dot meta directory then there is there will be a logging directory here so you can just go to here and then you can see the sorry okay so here you can see a log file which is nothing but a similar to the actual log file so if you want to see the log file you can just go to the meta directory and you can view it so whatever it is to the log file so now you can see the log file so if you do not know about the log where exactly the log file is stored but you can just go to the meta directory and see the log file and another important thing about the log is let us say you have multiple client process for a Glacier volume let us say thousands of client process are there for a single volume which means you can have a log level for your log file like debug log trace log and you know a critical logs but you can also change it configure it like through a Glacier commands you can change that log level into trace or debug or warning but that changes the log level for all the clients let us say you want to debug a particular client process you cannot just make it you cannot just change the log level for a single process of course you can restart the process with log level as a debug or trace but it requires a restart so how do you change log level of a single client process that you can do using this log level so there is a there is a file code to log level so you can see what it has so the okay sorry so it is locking the system okay so actually it is there I do not know how to adjust it so the log level is actually 7 right now you can change the log level like the log level there is a log level number for trace it is 8 for info it is 7 so something like that so to change the log level what you need to do is you have to rate the log level number into the log into this file log level 5 so let us say currently the currently it has the log level of 7 which is written there but it is not it is not it is playing it but I will just do a demo like changing the log level into 8 which is trace there is a documentation what are the numbers for each log level so what you can do is you can change the log level through this interface so now the data is written and you can see the log level 8 here and now what are the changes it has is now if you select log file and below you can see it is standard printing that debug logs okay so that is one information okay I will quickly move so that is about the logging other things yeah the process UID so the process UID is each client process has a unique identifier so that information can be fetched through this process UID process UID this is the process UID for this client process how this is helpful is let us say you have thousands of clients which means the information about a particular event on the client through in the server logs is logged through using the process UID let us say if you take okay I will just copy this one and if you take by the server logs is stored here in the as a brief see if you search that thing you can see the logging like the logging for this client like it says accepted client from this mount point so let us say you have thousands of client there will be thousands of lanes like this that the connection is established establishment has already happened or the disconnect has happened with all with the process UID so if you want to know whether the connection happens or disconnection happens you just need to take the process UID and search that process UID in the server graph and also when client makes a log locking into the servers if you want to know which when especially when you debug a dead log kind of scenarios or a locking issue you want to see which client is has taken a lock from the servers so in that case the locking has been with this process UID so you take the process UID and search in the log in the locking translator which lock in which client has taken the lock so you can use the process UID for that for this kind of information the thing is memory information yeah that is very important so you can see the memory information through this meta interface so if okay I will go to the front open through this one yeah so for a Glacier process for a Glacier client process you can see what are the memories this Glacier mount points as used using this meta interface and that is through the map info file so it says what are the arenas it is already allocated the blocks the map information and yeah the free blocks and also from this allocated spaces for the memory for this process you can also see what are the data stretches how the particular data stretches how much memory it is it has already used it like this this is that this is a data type data stretcher which is used in Glacier and how much that says it is it has already consumed let's say you have a let's say you have a memory leak problem in Glacier process and you are debugging it then you can look into this for you can look into this information and see what is the maximum says what is the maximum says allocated for each data types and you can see when there is a memory leak you could see one data type of one or two data type is using a lot of spaces and that's why you can understand which translate which data type is using this information this is a global this is a global data stretcher and it's there is also a translator specific data stretcher that you can see when we look into the graphs okay and yeah so now I will introduce about the I will talk about the master translator then because we don't have much time left so this is the translator for the fuse fuse bridge so all the information about latency so to see the latency information what we can what we can do is we can start some operation on the mount point then I will do go into a different terminal and go to here and dot metadata and then master translator so if you can see we are here at the in the mount point dot metadata and the master translator and here what we have is a history what history is what are the operation as going what is the operation is happening on the mount point if you see the history you can see what is the operation is going on a fuse mod so it says for example it has a time and what is the operation is going on like on an I know sending an invalidation operation and this is an opend on this directory because we did a we did a opend into that we did a opend in the history that's the last operation though and you can see the other f stat on the Linux so all those operations the fuse operation you can see the history through this interface that's one and yeah so and as I said as I already told you about the the profiling information so you can see how much information okay I think the profiling has turned on sorry so you can see a measure latency things so you can you can enable the measure latency thing by writing one into this one so then now it will take some time to measure the latencies but let's see if it is already have if it already turned on you can see what are the yeah but it it will take some time so basically you can see if you if you turn on measure latency into if you turn on that option you can see each latency through this interface currently it was turned off so it is showing 0 the other things is the options the options of each translator so you can see the graph information through this interface which is there will be a directory called graphs you can go into graphs and see you will have all the available all the graph is placed in the graphs let's say a graph means as I said it's a collection of translator so when you disable a translator it is like a new graph because you have removed one node from the graph let's say you disabled a caching translator which means you have a new you have a new graph so that information you can see from this what are the what are the graphs the graph history and everything and what is the active graph so I can show you a demo for that like lesser volume set performance there is a translator called a rate behind fit sorry there is a translator called there is a translator called rate behind which does the rate in the background so I turned off that graph that performance translator which means the graph has changed because this translator is now removed from the graph so you can see the old graph information through the meta so see now there are only two entries earlier just one this Rafi now you have to because this is an active one which is a simulant to the already existing active graph now you can see one more graph is the old graph so if you go into the if you go into the if you go into the active active graph you can't see the rate behind here but if you if you go to the if you go to the old old graph you can see that information it's so if you see here you can see rate behind here but you can't see that rate behind in the latest active graph so all those informations like what are the current graph and the previous graph all those information can be fetched through this interface yeah okay so the okay so I'm winding up the session with so I explained about the info memory information like this is an explanation of the each lanes what each lane means says and the number of allocation and the memory informations what is each lane means so you can refer into this one and I'll talk about the future and then yes so what we are planning as a future for this translator is we are planning to give a future like a free and a drop cash through this better translate let's say Glacier has a lot of translator for caching so each translator stores metadata informations or caches metadata information so you can see what are the caching memory how much caching memory is used and you can also do a drop cash or you can also do a drop cash to drop all the caching from the Glacier mount process that is we are planning as a future we are and yeah okay I'm done any questions we have questions for Afi I'm sure he'll be around at the Glacier booth thank you


So today we're gonna talk about the three shocking signs a man over 40 is ready to commit to you. Now I wanna share with you why it's shocking because quite frankly, what I'm gonna share is ridiculously obvious and yet at the same time, it feels rare. It feels rare for many of the women out there who are over 40 who seek a significant relationship. It feels rare to believe that there are men ready to commit. Well, that actually framed that because I said a belief. It seems rare that they're actually going to commit. And yet I do want you to know that there are plenty of men out there who are ready for full commitment as long as some of these criteria have been met prior to meeting you or at least in the process of dating you, because this is where the shocking aspects of this come up. And I'll just say these are strong signs that at least you're on the right path. So let's look at dating currently today. I think there's more signs that he's not into you than being into you. I think that's the case. I've noticed that there's a significant percentage of men who are rather flaky in their behavior, their attitudes and their performance or their actions within the dating realm. That's because sadly, hookups, friends with benefits, situationships and casual relationships are the predominant norm that we're experiencing today in the dating marketplace. See, I believe serious relationships or even marriage is on the decline. And it's mostly because physical intimacy barely costs anyone anything. And yet the emotional effects or the emotional costs can be incredibly dramatic. The emotional marketplace, if you will, is where very few people actually focus their attention on. There's a lot more conversations for the sexual marketplace of a relationship versus the emotional marketplace of the relationship. And what I mean by emotional marketplace is the emotional effects of repeated unfulfilled physical experiences with another human being. I think it has a toll on us emotionally. And a significant percentage of people are either bitter, they're jaded or they're incapable of love or they're rejecting of love or they're... And by the way, depending on what receiving end you're on, this emotional roller coaster we're on, many humans have not done the work to heal from these experiences that lead to nowhere or worse that there's a betrayal, there's a real rejection of another human being. And that has an emotional toll. And I think what happens is the reason why he's not into you as an example or he's being flaky towards you is because he hasn't cleaned his emotional house. That's his emotional house. What about his physical house? Men who are incapable of commitment often have tremendous amount of chaos in their life. Now, before I say another word, let's be clear about something. Everything I'm sharing is for both genders, for both men and women alike. And yes, I know there's more than two genders from a social construct perspective, but I'm talking to my audience that is predominantly male, female, female, male, or demographic in the dating marketplace. So what I'm sharing goes for both, if your life is in chaos, it's very difficult to really commit to another human being beyond those types of relationships I talked about, the hookups, the friends with benefits, the situations and casual, because to be in a serious relationship or even marriage requires an all-in investment. I'm all in, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, I'm all in. See, all-in relationships are becoming the rarity. As I said earlier in this recording is because we can get our physical needs met, but are we really getting our emotional needs met? That is the $64,000 question, if anyone remembers that game show. By the way, that's a pittance today, it's gotta be the billion dollar question because of what I'm about to share next. He's not into you, he's not capable, or he has issues in his life, and this is true of men and women of life. Unhealed childhood wounds and unresolved adult traumas leads to human beings basically hooking up friends with benefits, situationships, casual relationships is because they're incapable of actually going deeper. They have issues in their lives or they're just not open enough to take in another person from an emotional perspective. See, I've been an advocate since the beginning of I began dating and relationship coaching, I've been an advocate that inviting everyone to recognize that dating is a vetting process. Dating is a vetting process, and the hard part of this process is attraction as well as attachment can trump our judgment or worse, hope some nagging issue about the other person will turn around because of physical attraction and attachment to another human being. So when I say dating is a vetting process, it's about going deeper in the early stages of dating, it's about being radically honest with one another, which simply means being vulnerable, being authentic and being transparent, transparency being if it's material to the relationship. And let me be clear, vulnerable and authentic doesn't mean to be walk out on the plank, I mean, to some degree, it's walking out of the plank and someone can pull the plank out from underneath you. It's not about sharing secrets or anything like that, it's just with respects to this dynamic, this dynamic between two people, I'm gonna be authentic and being authentic is a bit vulnerable and being transparent is a bit vulnerable again, so long as it's material to the dynamic. Number two, I'm gonna lay my cards on the table with you. This is my past, okay? This is my past, I'm inviting both men and women to do this for each other. This is my past, why it's important that you know about my past and why it's important that I know about your past is past performance is indicator of actual future success. We learn through history. You know why? History has a habit of repeating itself. So by learning and understanding the mechanics of someone's past relationship, but Jonathan, he won't talk about his past and I know you get irritated when I do the but Jonathan voice. If you don't know where he came from, it's like I want you to think about interviewing somebody for a job and in their resume, they have no work experience. When someone doesn't talk about their past, it's literally saying I have no work experience. Other than they work, all you know is the dates that they worked at such and such company. You don't know what they did within that company. You don't know their job title within that company. You don't know their performance level. It's the same thing. So by not inquiring about someone's past is missing out on some of the most important information in dating. So laying your cards on the table. Lastly, the rules of engagement. The rules of engagement simply is establishing what your standards are in a relationship. What's your standards? Many of you know my standard. I'm seeking a relationship where we spend three or four days and nights a week together doing shared activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork, building skills, both in our personal or professional life, intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy that leads to either moving in together or getting married. That's my standard. The rules of engagement is establishing your standard with someone, having them establish their standard with you and then seeing where there's a cohesiveness within the standard. Radical honesty, laying your cards on the table, the rules of engagement. This is all in the process of vetting. By the way, if you need some support, you see this link right here to schedule a discovery call with me, schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. My whole area of expertise is designed to improve your picker, your man picker out there. Many of you have a broken man picker. Many of men have a broken woman picker out there. Most everybody has a broken picker. My job is to help you get better at vetting somebody to determine if they actually have a capacity to enter into a significant relationship. Midlife dating requires important things to consider how long somebody has been single. Do they have past residue from their most recent relationship or maybe their significant relationship? Is their life in a good place? Is the ground underneath them solid or do they have tons of baggage?  Number one, he's intentional about a serious relationship and he makes you a priority. Now, what does that mean? Cause I know those are two inside of one. Intentional is he's clear about wanting a serious relationship. Some men are very clear. I'm good with a hookup and a lot of you women will say yes. I'm good with friends with benefits because I might be able to change his mind. I'm good with the situation ship because I might be able to change his mind. I'm good with a casual relationship because I might change his mind. See, it seems rare because a lot of men, it's shocking because a lot of men will say I'm not looking for anything serious and you'll accept it. You'll accept it. A good sign a man is ready to commit when he's very clear. The reason why I share with you my standard.  My standard represents that clarity that I want to either get remarried or live with someone. And within that, if somebody, if I'm intentional in the process and I meet somebody who meets me at that place and I feel as though that I'm speaking for myself but man as well, if there's a bit of chemistry between the two of you he'll make you a priority. Priority means that he won't allow his, the balance of his life to consume him. You know, many men and women are consumed by raising their children. They're consumed by it. They are, by the way, they're almost better off with a casual relationship friends with benefits or a situation ship or a hookup.  There is, we have to recognize that that is a huge aspect of our lives. And for some people, it's difficult to fully commit to another person when you're committed to raising children. That's just a recognition. And by the way, for most people in midlife, these days for people in their fifties and sixties they're seeking empty nesters because of this. And this directly affects the third sign I'm about to share with you. But they make you a priority. That's a really good sign. Number two, he actively tries to help you in your life. He's actually making effort. Now, it could be on small scale. He might help you fix things around the house. That's a really good sign when he's making effort to help you in your life. Maybe he's giving you financial advice. Maybe you're giving him financial advice. Maybe you're, he's helping you, what we already say, fix things. But he's just there as an emotional support, but he's genuinely trying to help you in your life. You know the difference between those guys that are kind of like, hey, just show up at my place. I'm fascinated how many men are entering to long distance relationship and they expect the woman to always come to his home. They're not willing to make that effort the other way around. That's not helping. He's actively helping with your life.   He wants to be part of your life.  The reason why this is so shocking is because so few people are actually doing this. This is probably the number one sign of, it's not number one, but it's just, it's such a high, high ticket sign that if someone wants something serious with you when they actually integrate you, but they also want to be integrated into your life. It is through integration that we're ever going to turn in, turn something into something serious. Because otherwise, I want you to think about hookups, there's no, you know, you show up at my house, I show up at your house, we have sex, that's it. Friends with benefits, you show up to my house, I show up to your house, but will Netflix and chill before the sex, okay? Situationships, well, situationships are like, hey, listen, I want to have the benefits of being with you whenever I want, but I have the benefits of being with whomever I want, whenever I want, okay? Casual relationships might have monogamy and exclusivity built in, might have monogamy and exclusivity built in, but they also have the freedom to break that covenant because it's nothing more than a loose, it's like a loose handshake. Have you ever shaked shook in someone's hand that's very loose? That's what a casual relationship is. You see a serious relationship, the minute you make that, the minute you want something serious with someone, a man will want to integrate himself into your life and he will want you to integrate his life.  You see the sad list, sad piece of this puzzle or this conversation as many of you will accept crumb relationships, hoping that if I just give him enough love, he will change. If I just give him enough love, he'll change. And by the way, men do this too. This isn't singular to one gender or the other. This is a human behavior that many people experience because for some of us, and I've been in this boat too, it's better to have something than nothing. I get that. I understand why we might accept breadcrumbs because it's better to get a breadcrumb than no food at all.  We need the nurturing of water. We need the nurturing of shelter. We need the nurturing of sun. And we need the nurturing of full bellies to actually be able to have a fully fulfilled life if you want to be in partnership with someone. By the way, I'm a big proponent everyone, okay?  Everybody read my book, What the Heck Is Self Love? Anyway, A Journey of Personal Development, Self-Help, Spiritual Work, there's a link below. I'm here to say that the most important relationship you'll ever have is the relationship with yourself. That's your priority.  Is this sinking in? Is this resonating? Please let me know if it is.

And I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do.  I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone, a pet, Teddy Barak pillow and give Iter them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye-bye now, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye.


Hi. If you have been using Discovery Education with your students and actually have student accounts, you've probably played with the student board builder a little bit, and it's a great tool for students to make projects, to do presentations, to take notes, and to save some of their resources. Now teacher board builders has been released, and this is a great way to launch assignments to students. You do have to have student accounts in order to use this, because in order to see a teacher board builder, you have to have a student login. First thing you need to do is login to your Discovery ad account. Go into the middle here where it says Builder Tools. Go down to Board Builder. There's some default themes that you can choose from. I'm just going to choose the notebook. You can also choose blank and set up your colors as you want, but it's kind of easier just to use the theme already made. You have to title it, and you can put a description if you'd like. Click Continue. Now if you have folders already set up, this is a great way to store your boards. I made a folder just for my boards, but if I was doing a science board I might want to put it into my science folder. Right now I'm just going to put into my board folder so you can put into any of your content folders you have. And then it will open up into your editing. What's really cool about this is it's completely customizable. You can drag things, you can move things where you want them. So here's a simple headline, so I'm just going to put this as the title. You can make text bigger, you can make it smaller, you can change the background, and you can even delete that if you decided you didn't want it. Inside the text box here, this is just formatting. You can, just like any Word document, make it bold, italics, underline, make it bigger, make it smaller. You can do bulleted list. You can do a numbered list. You can insert web links. So this is kind of like a write-up students could put in text, information, maybe their report. The coolest thing is that you can upload your own content or even go to your content that's already stored in your Discovery Ed account. Maybe go to one of my science folders to my fourth grade folder, an energy transfer, and I can put a video into this board now. So maybe this is the text that goes along with this video, and as soon as I click on it, it will automatically play within that board itself. And you can put all kinds of different information in here, images, anything from Discovery Education is available to put in here. You can also upload your own pictures and media as well. Really easy to customize, really easy to use. It might be a great assignment builder where you can then share this board with your students. They have to step through all of these steps, and then at the very end, you can put your assignment at the bottom. So give Teacher Board Builder a try. It's great. Use it with Student Board Builder. It's a great Discovery Education tool.


Well, hello and welcome to Understand Men Now. I'm Jonathan Asley of JonathanAsley.com and I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today. Our topic, make him miss you like crazy, crazy. Ah! Ha, ha, ha. Is that what crazy is? Really quickly, if you're new to my YouTube channel and please hit the subscribe button, hit the bell so you can be notified of new content. I shoot three videos a week plus I do now on YouTube live once a week on Fridays at two o'clock Pacifico's time. All right, we're gonna talk about how to make a man miss you like crazy. So, it's interesting. Ladies, I know most of you who watch my videos are either women single and looking for love, those of you already in relationship. Okay, so that's the, I mean, is there really anyone else? I mean, what I'm trying to say is most of the time it's rare that a woman who is happy in relationship is going on to YouTube to find answers, right? So you're coming here to learn a different perspective and maybe even shifting your own perspective. And I hope if you've been following my channel, it's making a difference. I recently had a client post a picture. She says she does her weekly binges of Jonathan's videos once a week at the same time. And I'm very honored to hear that. And if you are a binge watcher, please do me a favor, post a comment below. I'd like to know. Well, what I want to lean into today, leaning in, you guys know that I'm big on leaning in. I'm not a big fan of leaning back or feminine energy or masculine energy. And before I share this one thing to make you miss you crazy, I want to share with you why I'm not a fan of those labels. Okay, so let me just be clear that masculine energy tends to be what we call doing and feminine energy is receiving. Okay, that's the basic gist of it. And this is where the idea of polarity comes in. It's like the yin and yang sign and that their relationship needs polarity. But here's the challenge with the rhetoric around feminine energy is the reality is as human beings are both doers. Matter of fact, most human beings are doers and they're terrible at receiving. Most humans are terrible at receiving. Men and women alike. So when this idea of shifting into receptive mode just understand and a lot of times you're being told we'll get out of your controlling behavior, get out of that negative masculine behavior. But what it's also saying is masculine behavior is negative. Masculine behavior is never negative nor is fem. So masculine behavior in a woman is not negative nor is feminine behavior in a man negative but we judge and criticize them because of the label of masculine and feminine. So why not shift the narrative to just doing and being just doing and being and being receptive to love?  Ultimately, if a person doesn't appreciate who you are if they can't appreciate who you are then the reality is it's a weak foundation relationship. You don't have to, all you have to do is be yourself.  Ah, we don't fall in love when we miss someone. Now we might feel anxious and feel scared and we need to fill the void really quickly when we miss someone.  Yeah, he's coming to you from an anxious, needy place filling the space and maybe he, yes he genuinely misses you but does that mean he really appreciates you?  This is why I wrote my book, What the Heck Is Self Love Anyway to help you with your own anxious attachment or your own avoidant attachment and I invite you to buy this book for any man you're dating. In fact, I recommend all my books to any of the man you're dating because ultimately, and by the way, one of the chapters in my book is Speak Your Truth, Joe with Kindness. Now why this is so important is that there's another chapter that says if it's sincere and from the heart, you can never say the wrong thing to the right person. And ladies, I find that most of you are like this, you're literally silent expressing yourself and that's why they don't, I know the title is Miss You but it's really the reason why they don't appreciate you is because you're silent to your feelings. I want you to be yourself. Only the wrong guy is gonna run away. Now, does this mean that you might have some issues? Absolutely, could you be vomiting your feelings and creating anxiety in a relationship? Absolutely, but that might mean you're not the right person for him. So I want you to begin to do the work, do the inner work to shift oneself. This is why I recently ordered this book and I just started reading it. How to be an adult in relationships. Ladies, you all think you're great at it but you're not any better than men. You just think you are. And men are just effing clueless altogether so they think they're superior just because they have no clue.  That's because it's only real in the sense that the fantasy way of dating doesn't work. This whole hierarchy-based way of dating doesn't work. If you wanna make a change in your life then take charge of your relationship destiny because ultimately when you're in a good place and you meet a man in a good place, you have a greater chance for success. When two grownups, when two adults enter in relationships because they love on themselves, they have a greater chance of success in relationship. Is this sinking in? And if you need help vetting for emotionally mature men, that's what I do for a living. Check out a link to free discovery call with me. If you're single and looking for love, I can absolutely help prepare you to get the guy, to get the emotionally available man. That's my area of expertise. And if you're single and looking for love, schedule a call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. So I wanna introduce you to, I've shared this before, but my new pet, my new pet is Salty, Salty, after the nickname of Connor, my son who passed away, all of you know, say hi to Salty. Say hi everybody, this is my new pet. Really quickly, I hope you found value in this video. Please share your thoughts and comments below. I'd like to hear all your thoughts. And I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do first off, giving myself a big gigantic shot of the bear hug of self love. I'm gonna reach into the microphone and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone or a pet or a teddy bear or a stuffed animal and give it a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love and we can all use more love in our lives. Bye bye now.


Hello everyone, this is financial author Amit Dan of amitdan.com on this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. Hello everyone, this is Amitdan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing video and I'll be unboxing and doing a brief review of the Xperia XA2 Ultra smartphone by Sony. This is not a paid or affiliated review, I purchased this with my own money and all my reviews on this channel are not affiliated and they only give you unbiased and honest opinion. So I've been using my OnePlus 2 for a while and this phone still works, this is a pretty good phone. However, I kind of got tired of using this and I thought it would be a nice idea to change and this phone actually gives you good value for your money. In Canada it's about $500-$600 Canadian for this phone if you buy unlocked and it's give you 6 inch screen and if you buy similar phone from other manufacturers then you're gonna be paying a lot more money. So for that reason I decided to go with this phone and because it's cheap and it gives me more value for my money. Now as I do the unboxing I'll go through some of the specs. Sony actually markets this phone as the ultimate dual selfie camera smartphone. It has 6 inch display and it has actually dual camera so once I unbox that I'll show you that one and I'll set aside my OnePlus 2 for now. So here's the box, it's nothing fancy just looks like a basic box and actually they have some of the features right here as well which I'll just quickly show you for a little bit. So 23 inch front camera, 16 and I'm sorry 23 megapixel front camera and 16 and 8 megapixel, sorry I had it reversed 23 megapixel back camera to take pictures and video. 16 and 8 megapixel front camera for selfie and USB-C and the battery is 3580MAH and the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 630. MicroSD and this phone is 32GB. So let's open this up and see what we have here. So okay looks like I need a knife and there's another one here. Okay so let's remove the cover. I can see the phone right away and I'll take out the phone and leave it here and let's see what's inside. There should be some accessories. Okay so the packaging is very basic it's not fancy or anything and this is the plug for charger to charge. Here's the USB connector so let's put it here and here's the manual or brochure so there's no need to go through those. I'll put it aside here and here looks like earphone standard 3.5 connection. It's a good thing that they provided. In the past I had many other phones that they never provide the earphone and this is by Sony so this should be a good one. I'll put it aside here and then we have a USB-C cable which is good too. I'm sorry micro USB cable so right here and looks like a standard USB. Okay so outside of the side here the box is empty there's nothing else. So let's put here and concentrate on the phone. So it has a standard wrapper let's take this out. I'll put it here so here's the phone. The first impression is that this is not nothing light it's slightly heavy but still it's not too uncomfortable. So this is you know not a bad weight and it fits comfortably in my hand. But if you for those who have a small hands then this camera might be a little bit too deep. But it feels okay. Let me just remove this thing here. Okay so it looks like this is hard to remove. Okay I got it. Put it there. Okay so here are the two selfie camera. The front facing selfie camera one is supposed to be 16 megapixel and the other one is to be 8 megapixel. So the 16 megapixel actually is for low light images and 8 megapixel is for group images where it will give you wide angle. So that's why there are two cameras on front and in the back this is a 23 megapixel camera. And this one actually has XMOR RS mobile sensor which supposed to be a good sensor developed by Sony. And this one actually also records 4K video. So that's a good thing. So the camera is supposed to be good. I'll attach some sample pictures and videos once I finish the unboxing. And you'll be able to see how they look. And then the display is actually 6 inch. So this one is full HD. It should give you nice color. And then let's take a look here. This one is fingerprint sensor. So on my OnePlus 2 I have it here on the down below. Which I'll show you right here. So this is my sensor here for OnePlus 2. But Sony put it on the back so it's right here. So I'm going to see which one makes more comfortable using it. And the glass is Corning Gorilla Glass. And this looks aluminum. So here it feels metal but it's not metal. It's high quality plastic. Polycarbonate or some sort of nice plastic. But it gives you that expensive or high end feeling. So what we can do is take a look here. The one thing I noticed is that there is almost no bezel on the left and right. But somehow here you can see that there is this much bezel. And even here right here.  And you're losing this much. But on these two sides the screen comes close to the edge. So on the bottom right here looks like this is the speaker. And this is the USB-C. And this looks like the mic for the phone. And on the top it looks like there's another mic. So this should give you a clear voice when you talk to someone. And this one is the audio jack. Standard 3.5mm. And this is the power button. This looks like the volume button. And this is a dedicated camera button right here. So this is a good feature. So you can just turn on your camera without even turning on anything else. When you need to take a picture. And NFC compliant. Which is a good thing. So although it's a big phone. But you know I don't feel any difference holding comparing to my OnePlus 2. It feels still comfortable. So what I'll do. I'll just go through the specs very quickly. So it has dual selfie camera. 16 megapixel which has optical image stabilization. And 8 megapixel for 120 degree super wide angle. So those are good for selfie or group selfie. And then the main camera is 23 megapixel. And the battery power is 3580mAh. Which should be pretty good. 6 inch HD screen. And then the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 630. Which should be fast and powerful. And then the SIM card is nano. And the RAM is 4GB. And this particular piece has 32GB internal memory. But it can be extended to 256GB. If you insert microSDX card. So the weight is 221g. Which is not bad. And the dimensions are 163x80x9.5mm. So that's all for now. However I'm going to show you some pictures and videos. Once I do them. And then I'll attach to the video. And if I find something interesting. Then I'll talk to you again. If not. That will be all. Thank you for watching. And I'll see you shortly. There will be more videos coming up. Thank you. Hello everyone. This is Ahmed Dan. I spent about 24 hours with this phone. And so far I have no complaints. But I would like to show you some features. Which I had difficulty finding them. Or figuring it out. So it would be helpful for me to show. So if you guys don't have to go through the same problem. Or delay. So the first thing I'd like to show that there's an option. Which you can choose to make the pictures and video. Overall the whole experience better. So it will give you vivid color. And better color than just the regular setting. And you can go there. By going to settings right here. And then if you scroll down. And then if you go to display. Which is right here. And click on it. And then you can go here. There should be an option of. Let's take a look here. Okay. So if you click on here under quality. And there's color, gamut and contrast and white balance. So if you click on the first option under quality. And then you're seeing three different options. So off means there's no image enhancement. And there's the standard mode. Which is the, would show just regular color. And if you'd like to see super bright color. Which is super vivid mode. And this mode actually will maximize colors. For photos and videos. And giving you surreal, vibrant and super vivid images. So I would choose this option. And if I go back. And then it would make the whole. Pictures and videos and everything else much better. And then there's. Another feature I'd like to show you. Which is going to be. The Wi-Fi calling. So if your network provider supports Wi-Fi calling. What it means that. It gives you the option to use Wi-Fi. Instead of your network to call. And text. Uses. For example you can receive and send call. Or receive and send text. Via your regular phone number. Without even network. So this is not an app or anything. I know there are apps which can do that. You can install apps from Google Play. And you can have your separate phone number. Text application. But this is not an app. So if your network provider supports this feature. Wi-Fi calling. Then you can do that. And what it means that let's say you have. You take this phone to let's say Hong Kong. Or South Africa. Or anywhere in the world. And you'll be able to use your phone number. And text to receive regular phone. And text. You don't need to roam. Or you don't need to buy separate SIM card. So this feature has to be supported. By your provider first. And then the phone has to support it. So this is one of the phones. That supports that feature. And in order to do that. You have to choose Wi-Fi calling. However. The problem is if you go to network. Which is under settings. The first option. Then here. You're not going to see any option to choose Wi-Fi calling. So it's not here. So where could it be. By going to the. Phone. So this is not a separate app. This is phones on. Phone app. Which is right here. So if you click on it. Then it's giving you all the. Phone number. And contacts. And everything. So if you just click right here. It should give you settings. And this settings is for the phone. Which is provided by the phone app. So if you click on the settings. Then if you go. To calls. Which is under sounds and vibration. So if you choose calls here. Then. You're going to see that there's going to be an option. Is Wi-Fi calling. And if you choose that option. Then. Either you can turn it on. Or you can turn it off. So if you turn it on. You'll have Wi-Fi calling on this phone. So what it means that. Let's say right now this is on. And if someone calls you or. Text me on my regular phone number. The phone is not using. Network anymore. It's using Wi-Fi. And as long as I'm within a Wi-Fi. Within a Wi-Fi range. It will continue using Wi-Fi. For all calls. And texts. And if you are out of Wi-Fi range. Then it will automatically switch back to network. I like this feature. Because I don't like actually using network at home. Due to. You know the chances of radiation. So. If you are using your. Call and everything via Wi-Fi. Then you have. I feel more comfortable using that. Rather than. Phone network. So for that reason. And then there's if I travel with this phone. Then I can you know. To make call and text anywhere in the world. Using this feature. So that's why. I like the Wi-Fi calling feature. So that's the other thing. I wanted to show you. There's something else I would like to show. This phone supports 4K video. So when you open the. App. For the camera and video. Which is the phone's default app. And this is going to be right here. So let's click on that. Now. We have the. App for the phone. For photo. Or for pictures and for. Video. So if you right now. It's set at video. I can put it back to picture. So let's go to video. Again. And let's say you want to do 4K video. So if you go to. Settings. If you click on it. And if you choose. Video resolution. Then you'll see all the options. But you'll not see the 4K option right here. So you'll see for. Full HD 30 frames per second. 60 frames per second HD. VGA MMS. So you will see all these options. But there's no 4K option. So does that mean. This phone doesn't have 4K. Because I've been. Provided website. And it tells that it has 4K. So what it is that. It does have 4K. But you're not going to get that option from here. So in order to go to that option. If you see those. Six dots next to the video. Icon. So if you click on that. And then you're going to see six separate options here. And one of them is 4K. So if you click on that. So it's just asking for permission. Hello. Hello. Okay. Just give it a warning. That if your temperature rises. Then this application may close. Because 4K video uses lots of. Resources. So we'll put okay. And now you have 4K video. So this is a little bit tricky. It doesn't give you 4K option from the main screen. So you have to come to this section. To get 4K. Video. And then you'll be able to record 4K. From that selection. So that's all I wanted to show you. So what I'll do. I'll. Attach some video clips. And pictures I took with this phone. Today is a cloudy day. So there's no sunshine. But still you'll be able to see the picture quality. And video quality for video. I actually use just regular 1080. I didn't use 4K. I use the front and back both cameras. And I'll. Mention on the screen. Which are taken with the back. And front cameras. So overall. The whole experience. Seems to be okay. I don't have anything to complain about. Due to the fact that. The phone cost almost half. Than other. Phones by other manufacturers. Which would give you same specs. I'm happy with the phone. And if I find something. Other things to tell. Then I'll produce separate videos in the future. So that's all for now. Thank you for watching. If you like what you see. Please give it a thumbs up. And consider subscribing. And let's enjoy the pictures and videos. Thank you.


ञर्ँपकट after the lecture आज�你知道, में दिनी स्पार कर of I'm Ganesh Baghlaw working as a assistant professor in क्नाप्ली के उंसष्टर। clearing the जोक सेटाcontrol At the end of Volume. यह तत्शाच्दरी आपतार औं है Yesiseesheesheesheesheesheesheeshees आप टकेण प्र के लेके अगलाग strand各 Auf deriving of the equation. we required to know about the NTU so if we don't know the outlet temperatures of the heat exchanger then we can adopt the NTU approach in the NTU approach the NTU term is there which is the long form of NTU is number of transfer units it is a dimensionless parameter and it is expressed as NTU is the ratio of heat capacity rate of heat exchanger to capacity rate of fluid which is equal to UA by C minimum so if we will see this relation we will come to know that NTU is directly proportionate to area so with more and more NTU number the size of the heat exchanger will be now we will do the analysis of heat exchanger by using the NTU approach for parallel flow. Theta O by Theta I is equal to minus UA into bracket 1 by CH plus 1 by CC now we will take this as a reference equation for deriving the NTU approach equation now I will substitute for Theta relation so ln THO minus TCO divided by THI minus TCI which is equal to minus UA into bracket 1 by CH plus 1 by CC now here we will try to get the relations for THO and TCO since we know the effectiveness equation which is equal to actual heat transfer to the maximum heat transfer so we will consider CC cold fluid cold fluid outlet temperature inlet temperature divided by C minimum into bracket THI minus TCI we can simplify this relation for TCO so TCO will become effectiveness into C minimum by CC into bracket THI minus TCI plus TCI similarly we can write the effectiveness equation for hot fluid so it will be CH into bracket THI minus THO divided by C minimum into bracket THI minus TCI since heat transfer for hot fluid and cold fluid is same which is nothing but actual heat transfer actually heat transfer now if this is simplified then if we will simplify this relation we may get for THO so that we can substitute TCO and THO in the equation third in the equation third so simplifying this the THO will be equal to THI minus epsilon C minimum by CH into bracket THI minus TCI now substituting the values of TCO and THO in equation third the equation will be THI minus epsilon C minimum by CH into bracket THI minus TCI so here it is ln so we have substituted it for THO now for TCO it is minus epsilon C minimum by CC into bracket THI minus TCI plus TCI so this is for TCO total divided by THI minus TCI which is equal to minus UA into bracket 1 by CH minus 1 by CC now we can simplify this as THI minus TCI minus epsilon C minimum by CH THI minus TCI minus epsilon C minimum by CC THI minus TCI divided by THI minus TCI which is equal to e to the power minus UA into bracket 1 by CH minus 1 by CC so this can be written as now 1 minus epsilon C minimum by CH minus epsilon C minimum by CC which is equal to e to the power minus UA by here we can take CC common 1 plus CH 1 plus CC by CH so after simplifying we get epsilon C minimum by CC into bracket 1 plus CC by CH is equal to 1 minus e raise to minus UA by CC into bracket 1 plus CC by CH so effectiveness is equal to 1 minus e to the power minus UA by CC into bracket 1 plus CC by CH total divided by C minimum by CC into bracket 1 plus CC by CH now let capital C is equal to C minimum by C maximum in this equation we can assume CC is equal to C minimum then effectiveness will be equal to 1 minus e to the power minus UA by C minimum here we assume capacity rate of cold fluid as C minimum into bracket 1 plus C minimum by CH will be C maximum divided by C minimum by CC is C minimum into bracket 1 plus C minimum by C maximum instead of CC we can assume CH also for both the cases the equation will be same the derivation will be same so 1 minus e to the power minus now as we know this ratio as NTU UA by C minimum is NTU into bracket 1 plus capital C divided by this will be 1 so 1 plus capital C so this is the relation for NTU so for effectiveness of heat exchanger effectiveness of heat exchanger we got NTU relation we got NTU relation so this case is to be adopted if the temperatures all temperatures are not known we can measure the inlet temperature and outlet temperature in that case we can adopt the NTU approach for further study you can refer fundamentals of heat and mass transfer by INCROPERA DEVILD thank you


Good afternoon Mr. Rickerman, Mr. McDowell, Mr. Duvall, Mr. Vine, Mr. Davis, Mayor Benjamin. Here, Reverend McDowell, would you please bless us with an indication? Yes, ma'am. Sorry, if I might, as Reverend McDowell does so well, if you could include our city's staff and family and your prayers, we lost Miss Amanda Beaton-Baw Nelson, who's been with us for 12 years at the city as a member of the county mayor. Yes, well this weekend and we found out yesterday. If you see our city flags that have staff, it's the memory of Amanda. She was a huge part of our finance team and will be sorely missed. Gracious and merciful God for all that you've done for us today. The ability to move about, strength in our limbs. The ability to celebrate life, health and strength. We pause today to remember the blessings that you afforded us this past week. Hallelujah, the storm has passed over. And for the many persons who assisted our staff, and other critical persons who helped direct us in ways that would certainly mean and to edify safety, we thank you for each person who made that available. But Lord, even in the midst of our celebrating, we pause for just a moment to remember a part of the team, the city's team, who has transitioned from this life to another. But we would simply ask that you would be with Amanda and her family. Touch those who so in a very diligent way nurtured her and she nurturing each of us. Be with Amanda's family. Allow her to sense even in death, resurrection powers. Lord, we ask you to inclaim it in your name. Amen. At this time, Mr. Mayor, we are going to go into our city council discussion, the first being a wonderful recognition of a Columbia hero. The Columbia Fireflies military hero recognition. The Honorable Mayor Stephen K. Benjamin, and I believe Ms. Abby Nozz with the Columbia Fireflies is here to join you, Mayor Benjamin. So this year we had the opportunity to, we worked with All South Federal Credit Union and back in May, we had the opportunity to partner and recognize military heroes from our community, whether active veteran, just about anyone that we could. And with this being the most military friendly community in the country, we wanted to do what we can to recognize those folks. So this year we recognized about 23 different military members and put them in a team card set so that they each had their own baseball card. On the front of that team card set and getting his very own baseball card is Columbia's own Jack Van Lone. And so today we would like to present him with his very own baseball card, but a military hero recognition card and also a little gift bag that houses some of those cards as well. Awesome. Abby, thank you for, thank you and the Fireflies for recognizing all the things and people that make this community special. Fireflies have really become a very important, special part of the Columbia spirit and it's because you recognize things like this and you recognize people like Jack Van Lone and he's been sacrosanct to I think what Columbia is and will be for many, many years to come. So thank you. Thank you very much. And the Five Points crew, we always love seeing you guys. We love seeing you guys and we got some good years behind us, even bigger and better years ahead of us. So thank y'all for all you do. Let's keep working hard together. We would not take it personally if you guys didn't want to hang out for the rest of the meeting. If you want to hang out, then I assure you you're more than welcome to. Don't you like to get a pass like that? So, so. And Colonel, thank you, brother. Miss Van Lone, thank you. What are you doing? Please. Our second item for discussion is the Columbia Compass Envision 2036. This is Krista Hampton, director of planning and development services, accompanied by Mr. John Fellow. Thank you for having us this afternoon. Lee and I are going to tag team this presentation. It's about we're embarking on our comprehensive plan for the next 10 years. And I'm going to let Lee start off and then I'll finish up. It's been one of those weeks with technical difficulties. So we are really excited to be taking off this planning process and. I just wanted to start by talking a little bit about why we were calling it Columbia Compass Envision 2036. Certainly the Envision would be familiar to y'all and 2036 being the 250th anniversary is something that we've been talking about for a while and we'll continue to talk about in the coming years. The reason we picked Columbia Compass to kind of brand this process is because we know that it's going to be a very difficult process. It's something that we've been talking about for a while and we'll continue to talk about in the coming years. The reason we picked Columbia Compass to kind of brand this process is because we know that compasses have been important to both our history and will be important to our future. We're talking about how we're going to navigate the coming years, but also Columbia being that first planned city in the U.S. A surveyors compass would have been integral to the process of laying out those gridded streets. So it's something that helps remind us of our history, but helps us think about our future as well. And we also are excited that it will dovetail well with the Envision Columbia process. So Envision Columbia, I know y'all know, but since we're being recorded being council strategic plan is a two-year plan and we know that the comprehensive plan, which is a little bit broader in scope, it's a 10-year plan as dictated by the state code of laws. That 10-year process we think will help inform some of the planning that y'all do through your strategic planning process, and you'll be getting ready to update here in the fall. But that strategic planning process is a good way to help think about the implementation of some of these plans' priorities as we move forward. So we recognize that we're looking at a broader vision and broader goals, and that you'll really be able to drill down using that compass as you move forward. And it also gives us an opportunity to really think about how we celebrate the city's accomplishments on a more regular basis. So we're looking at celebrating those accomplishments, not just through the strategic plan, but also with a comprehensive plan. We're trying to come back through and look at the benchmarks we've hit through that planning process as we move forward. So we'll be giving updates not only during the planning process, but after the plan has been adopted, as far as how we're doing with implementation of programs, policies, and projects moving forward. And that being said, what is a comprehensive plan? And I think this really says it best, but it's a summary of the goals, objectives, opportunities, policies, strategies, programs, and projects that make us look at how we're going to move forward in the future. So we know that if we're just constantly responding to things, we're not really thinking about how we're going to look for the future and we'll leave some of those aspirations behind. We know why this comprehensive planning process is very important to the city. To talk a little bit about the roles that different staff and council will have during the comprehensive planning process, the Planning Commission is really integral to this process. So when we think about the Planning Commission, we think about how they look at things from a regulatory standpoint. They're always reviewing site plans and zoning, and they're making recommendations to council. At the meat of it, they're going to be doing the same with the comprehensive plan. So they'll be reviewing the final plan document and making that recommendation, but that's not the only thing they're going to be doing during this process. We've looped them in, we're talking to them monthly at work sessions about the different comprehensive plan topics, so the different elements. They have already been actively working with the amplified process, which is part of the cultural planning process, and they'll continue to be actively involved in the comprehensive planning process as we move forward with Columbia Compass. So they've really been excited about taking on this role and responsibility, and so they're looking forward to being well-versed in this planning. For city council, again the same thing. Y'all know kind of your own paper role. You will review the recommendations of Planning Commission and hopefully adopt the comprehensive plan as recommended. But that's not your only role in this process. We're excited that y'all are engaged. We'll be updating you through the process as well. So we'll be coming to work sessions much like this one, talking about some of the findings that we've made, some of the recommendations that we think are coming to light, and then we really want to make sure that this is an ongoing coordination. So it doesn't end, again, with the planning process. But the comprehensive plan helps serve y'all as a tool as you move forward with your strategic planning process. Is it possible to get the comprehensive plan in a red-lined version, section by section, that we can get through? It will be. We're just kicking off the process so we don't have a draft at this point. So our first set of public meetings will be in October, and we expect coming to you with a planned document after two more rounds of public meetings, so spring or summer 2019. So we just wanted to get the word out with y'all early on. So we do have the existing comprehensive plan that was adopted back in 2008, and we can certainly provide y'all with links for that. But we're hoping that the planning document moving forward is a lot more interactive and usable for the public and for you as well. So just a reminder, because a lot of times people conflate the comprehensive plan and zoning. So the zoning is really a regulatory tool which helps us implement the comprehensive plan. So the comprehensive planning document will make recommendations. Some of those recommendations may be program or policy recommendations. Some might be more infrastructure-based, so it might be anything from when we think about infrastructure, we think about complete streets, but we also think about maybe water and sewer and parks and that sort of thing. So zoning is just one of those tools that we use to move forward the vision that's defined and developed in the comprehensive planning process. So certainly y'all will be hearing about the Code Rewrite coming up too, and we did most recently update the future land use element of the comprehensive plan, Plan Columbia, so that we've had a lot of good feedback on already. And then just to kind of go over the elements of the comprehensive plan, the state code of laws actually dictates that we covered nine different elements of the plan. And you'll see the symbology, the icons will be used throughout the planning process, but population is essentially demographics. We're looking at who we are as a city, how we expect our growth patterns to move, where we expect shifts in demographics, are we aging, are we gathering younger population members. Natural resources we're talking about, you know, certainly our rivers, our tree canopy is something that we've talked a lot about with natural resources. Land use, again, driving how we grow and how we change as a city, what vision we have. Transportation will include all modes of transportation. So certainly we've recently updated the bicycle and pedestrian element of transportation as well. So Walk by Columbia was a recent addition, and it's very comprehensive. So what we're looking at when we're looking at transportation is not just bike, pad and roads, but, you know, things like transit, things like rails, that sort of thing. And so we're working with Kim Lee Horn on that element of the plan. You're probably familiar with them. They're a local firm, but they're also working on the Carolina Quarters project right now. So they have a lot of great expertise on that. On the housing element, we're not just talking about affordable housing. We know that our community development folks do a fantastic job with affordable housing and really becoming the advocates and working with those communities. And so we're working hand in hand with community development and also with the housing authority. But what we're talking about when we're talking about housing is not just affordable, although that's a piece of the puzzle. It might be where do you want to have denser development of housing versus where do you want a mix of apartments or mixed use or single family residential and what we might be missing or what gaps we might have in both the rental and the homeowner market. So we're working with Clarion on that. And Clarion is actually who worked with us on Plan Columbia on the land use element. So they've got a team of good housing experts on that one. Community facilities. That element we're talking about all sorts of things from water and sewer to solid waste pickup to parks. Everything the city touches and some things the city doesn't. So the state actually dictates that libraries and school districts are included as well. So we're working with them and meeting with those folks to talk about their long range plans as well. And looking at how those different patterns of development affect kind of the greater service. Economic development, certainly y'all are very familiar with. We're working with our economic development folks as well as the state, the chamber, the Midlands Business Leadership Group and others to really identify those policies or those shifts that they'd like to see to really bring more vibrancy to Columbia. We know we're developing a burgeoning city, but what can we do to help facilitate that? And then the priority and investment element, this is the element that we won't be talking about in our first set of public meetings. And the reason we won't be talking about it is it's really where the rubber meets the road. It's the recommendations for implementation. And so in our first set of public meetings, we're going to be asking people what they think about the state of the other elements. So what they think about population, natural resource, land use, transportation, et cetera. And as we move forward, that's when they'll be talking about what kind of recommendations. You know, if you're concerned, for example, when you come to a public meeting, you might say, well, I really want to be able to have access to X and I don't see that in my community or I don't see that throughout Columbia. We'll then look at those statements and those comments and talk about how we can identify strategies that might be placed in the priority investment section. Sure. Sure. So I think at this point, that's our goal. We do know that the Amplify process is moving a little bit ahead of schedule for us at this point. So it may be that they come to you with an earlier presentation and then we'll be integrating some of their recommendations into the plan as a whole. But the goal would be to adopt them as a whole because this is our 10-year update, recognizing that we might see larger changes to elements we maybe haven't touched in the last five years than, for example, the land use element that we most recently updated. We don't expect to see a lot of changes there. How does the plan, from our perspective, articulate those community facilities that we don't have control over? I mean, we just discussed them. We referenced them. We identified needs or what? I think all of those things, you know, it's a little bit of a moving target because we're just in our information gathering stage at this point. So we will be looking at, you know, those items that rise to the top. And if there are some things that deal with school districts or deal with libraries that we can either point out, you know, their long-range plans and how we might work with them, or maybe point out some patterns that are rising out of their long-range plans. So that's, you know, it is a delicate balance because we don't control everything. And that's fine. We probably don't want to control everything. But that's a conversation that we're having. But you'll have opportunities to collaborate some because when you look at, you know, the drafts of the land use plan and the designs, that will have some dictation on facilities where they go and that sort of thing. Yeah, and that's something I should mention. So although the state prescribes these nine elements, they are very interwoven with one another. So although we will have separate sections for each of them, we recognize, for example, that a recommendation of the plan that comes into the priority investment element might both satisfy concerns about natural resources, land use, and cultural resources. So it's not that these things are separate from one another, but they are because of how the state sets forth that planning process. We'll have chapters in a book, but we'll tell a total story. And I'm actually going to turn it over to John because he's going to talk to you a little bit about the planning process and some questions we have for you. So our planning process, essentially, we're going to be looking at all the different elements, like Lee said, and we're going to be doing an inventory of our existing conditions, working with city staff and finding all that information out. Setting forward some goals. These may be goals that come out of your strategic plan. They may be goals that come over from the old plan, and they may be goals that come out of other documents that the city has already adopted. And we're going to be looking into, with the citizens, kind of what some of their goals will be. So that will be taken to the Planning Commission for some facilitation there. And then we're going to be looking at how we can implement some of these strategies over time. This map, it's a little blurry on the screen, but you can actually see it probably in more detail on the website. This project does have a website. Basically, this map shows you the process, and so Lee kind of hinted at it that it's sort of a three-part process. We're in stage one at the moment where we're doing research and discussions. We're going to be having public meetings at the beginning of October. We'll continue research and discussions through November and into December, and then we'll be coming back in January, February, with some more public meetings to actually let the community know what we found out, what we heard from them. And then we'll be moving into a final draft and then presenting that plan to the public in the late spring, and then bringing that to City Council early summer of 19. So our goals for this particular project is to reach into the community, and we really want to focus on reaching those in the community that we haven't typically reached in planning processes before. We do have a core group of people in Columbia that really engage in the planning process, whether they're developers or citizens or neighborhood leaders, but we know there's a lot of other people who not are engaged. So we are trying a lot of different ways to reach out into the community. We're also engaging with City staff. We've had a conversation with Ms. Wilson to really try to get a team. So we have a team in planning, but we also want to have a team that crosses all the City departments so that we can really make this document something that Public Works can use, that Economic Development can use, all these different groups. So it becomes something that is very usable down the road, not just a planning division tool, so to speak. And we want to make the plan usable. We want to make it, like Lee mentioned, a document that when you're working on your strategic plan in two years or four years, there is information in there that can be pulled out. It doesn't have to be recreated. And then we want to have achievable strategies going forward. Often our plans have a really nice list of potential things that could happen, but often the reality is only maybe one or two of those 15 things can happen, and so we want to make sure that we're able to have achievable strategies. And then some of our public engagement, we're going to be obviously having public meetings, but we have a website that is up and running. Also social media, both Facebook and Twitter for this project. We have a lot of focus groups. We have already or have scheduled, both have scheduled and have focus groups on economic development. It's about 90 people we're meeting with, so we're going to be meeting with more people in all of those different groups. We're going to have a very interactive survey that should facilitate a lot of comment from the community. There's recently a lot of public input actually comes more through other modes other than public meetings and surveys as one of those. We're also going to do a newsletter to all of the neighborhood presidents. The September newsletter we just handed out to you that's on the podium up there. So we'll be mailing that out to all of them later this week. So we'll have a monthly newsletter that will have a little bit of information and facts, tell them about upcoming meetings. We'll have sort of just some information on there, kind of like, did you know this type thing? We're also going to reach out to all the neighborhood presidents and ask them to invite us to their neighborhood meetings to talk about the plan. We're also looking at going to any other kind of social groups. So if you know of anyone, I think we sent you an email and some of you did respond, but if they're specific people you'd like us to reach out to, so we're looking forward to developing that list also. And then our priority investment, a little bit what Lee said, is that we're going to really look at the programs and policies and projects. So it's not just about infrastructure, it's not just about zoning, it's about maybe it's looking at how we do things. Maybe there's efficiencies, those types of things that we could be looking at down the long term. And then really we want to be able to provide a plan that you guys can reference for your strategic planning efforts. And then one of our questions to you and you don't have to answer now, but you can let Ms. Wilson know is we'd really like to know how much engagement you would actually like to have through this process and what form that might take, whether you want updates just through an email or if the newsletters are enough for you or that kind of thing. So think about that and just let administration know how much involvement you'd like to have in the process from that perspective. And then also just as a reminder, we did send that email asking you to tell us who we should contact, other than kind of the standard neighborhood presidents, all of those. So if there's specific people, just let us know about that. And with that, if you have any questions for Lee and I, we'll be glad to answer them. Some names, I wrote some names out yesterday. Maybe you'll get those directly. They're probably more to come. So I appreciate it. Beginning the end timeline, when do we have to have this done by? And we've actually been working on contracts for the two. I think you approved them right before the end of the fiscal year this past year. So as we move forward, we're looking at meetings again, October 3rd and 4th. When do we expect to be done with the process? Probably August of 2019. Because we'll need time to be able to go through that public input process, make sure that it's meaningful. So we're hoping we'll bring it to you early summer, have the public hearing mid-summer, and you have your second reading end of summer. Davis? Yeah. I've sort of looked at some of the planning you sent out. I'd like to be involved also, I think, doing this process. Y'all will be bringing in some key experts in some of the areas that's going to sort of dictate what the final product's going to look like. But I'm going to suggest, you know, for example, in addition to the names I sent you, we can add, I'd like to add to that. But I think what might help so that you won't have to do that many every month or so, maybe do some clusters of maybe three to four. That way I think you can cover an area where a number of people may have some of the same thoughts about their area because they're sort of contiguous to one another. Would that work for you? Yeah, we can definitely do that. I mean, if the timing allows, we can definitely try to, you know, partner some different neighborhoods together. Or if it doesn't allow, we'll just go to, you know, two different meetings. But we'll work with, we can work with all the neighborhood presidents and groups to see, you know, how the schedule's all aligned. Right. And I'm probably one of the easiest ways for you to help us kind of spread the gospel, if you would. People can sign up for that newsletter and any notifications about meetings by going to ColumbiaCampus.org. And it's something that we're doing through MailChimp so they can, you know, they can change their subscriber preferences if they decide that an email a month is too much. But if you could help us spread that, that will really help us reach those folks. Dustoff from Dr. Seattle's point. When you go out to one of these community meetings, are you going to be focusing on one of the elements? Or are you going to try to get input on all of the elements? So what we're developing in conjunction with the housing and the transportation consultants is basically a meeting in a box. So we will take different pieces of information that we may present at a public meeting or that might be online. So it might be frequently asked questions. We have various boards. And hopefully when we go out to these neighborhood meetings, we're going to have a little interaction, staff will with the neighborhood leaders, to find out kind of what their interests are. So if they're really more focused on housing and economic development, we'll try to tailor that meeting in a box to those topics that are more interesting to them. But if they're really more interested in cultural resources and natural resources, we can tailor it to that. So we can try to keep it, you know, to a 20-minute presentation so we're not there all night long with everyone. But we'll essentially have kind of a meeting in a box and then we'll also just have kind of a standard meeting that we can take that will just be an overview also. How are we engaging folks that are college age and younger in this process? Because we're talking about a long term and it would be good to have folks that are looking to be part of the process which may help engage them to stay here or come back here after they've had some outreach. Yeah. So we can probably a number of different ways. We don't have a specific target because I think we have so many folks that work with college age and younger throughout the community. So we are working when we're working with community facilities folks. We're asking, during those focus groups, we're asking them how we can maybe get their parents and get their students involved. So we're also working closely with USC and the other colleges. Certainly USC with the biggest student population but we've had conversations both as through the community facilities element and also through the housing element and economic development. We've been kind of tied in with the different folks from each of those institutions on how they can not only bring their students along and engage them in the process but how we can better serve their students. And we've had a very good response from the smaller colleges and universities of their interest in participation. And tonight we'll have the student body president from USC addressing us. Let's make sure we pulled him into that discussion and of course his peers from the other colleges as well. So I think that's a great, great point. I want to make a plug to Mr. Mayor for the re-entertizing of youth commissions. So I think that would be a great opportunity as well for the high school age community. Our children have lots and lots of opinions. We want to hear them. We want to hear them. All right. Thank you. Thank you guys. Good. Thank you. I think we have executive session. Who wants to make the motion? I think we see the list of amendments. I'll make the motion. Yes, yes. Okay. So you got our cruise booked. Is that right? My mic is not on. We wanted to talk about the retreat just briefly for scheduling purposes. The facilitator would like for council to consider January 16th and 17th in 2019. That would be a Wednesday and a Thursday. That Wednesday would be a half day and Thursday would be a full day. 16th and 17th? 16th and 17th. Full day on the 16th half day on the 17th? Yeah. Full day on the 16th. You're some reason why we can't do the Tuesday? I think based on her availability, she'd have to come in and do the interviews. Based on my availability, Tuesday is much better than Thursday. No. If you could accommodate us at all, we would greatly appreciate it. But the interviews occur on that day. Tuesday would be the best day. So it would start on Tuesday as part of the interview process. Yes, sir. It's far enough in advance that I can commit, but I would go ahead and get everybody committed today. We certainly do appreciate Mr. Recommended. If you can, but we certainly understand that these dates just don't work too. We just want to get back to Tyler. The same facilitator? Yes, sir. We'll go ahead and send you all a calendar invite. What is it? Evaluate one. 16th and 17th, half day on the 16th, 17th. I think she usually needs about an hour of your time. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. 16 and 17. I'm good. I had to check the calendar, but I assume it's all good. Oh, fine. That's fair. I've already emailed someone. I hope you can talk to someone a whole lot smarter than me. I think Erica took care of that. As soon as that was the case. Okay, we appreciate you all. Is that a resounding? Yes. Yes. So moved. Thank you. Thank you all so much. We originally had the 14th, 15th, and 16th block, right? So we're shifting it one day forward. 16 and 17. Excellent. And Mr. Mayor, back to your executive session motion with the additions as outlined. Mr. Duvall. I move we're going to executive session for discussion of matters related to proposed location or expansion of services to encourage location or expansion of industries or other business pursuant to 30-4-78-2 parking incentive resolution, discussion of negotiations incident to propose contractual arrangements pursuant to 78-2 automated media infrastructure project update, receipt of legal advice relating to pending threatened or potential claims in 4-78, Thomas versus City of Columbia, Thompson versus City of Columbia, and City of Columbia versus Polaris, receipt of legal advice for matters covered by attorney client privilege neighborhood ditches. Mr. Duvall, I just want to make sure you caught that addition at the top, which was actually a part of item 3, adding the discussion of incentive criteria to that same item. Incentive criteria is okay. Add incentive criteria to number 3, which was parking incentive resolution. Yes, sir. Mr. Rickerman. Hi. Mr. McDowell. Mr. Duvall. Hi. Mr. Vine. Mr. Davis. Hi. Mayor Benjamin.


But Kevin Willard and these guys know it's going to be very important, rebounding batter. How about that move, Miles Powell? He hangs so well. He's got such excellent body control. The opposite from both sides. There's Powell again. Catch. He gets his work done, gets it there to Gill, and then comes right off, feet square. VCU said it doesn't need much time. It's mostly strailing him. Powell. The drive. Yes! He absorbs contact so well as 22. There's a disparity here, but it goes back to George. It's not continuing to stick with what we've seen out of him. It's defensively. He's got no answer. Here's Powell now. Drive. In the lane. 27 looking for 28. Mahmoud. The Powell. Nine points. Miles, before we start with your 30-point performance, talk to me a little bit about your teammates. You guys so efficient from the field, but the balance in which we saw from everyone. All we can practice, everybody was just giving it their all. We knew our season was on the line this game, and we just wanted to come out and give it our all and show coach that we want to be in the tournament. What about for you personally? You come away with 30 points on the night. You were efficient, not only from the 3-point line, but getting yourself to the basket. What's been your mentality, not just tonight, but through this entire season? Just trying to do whatever on the floor to get my team to win. I know my teammates are going to follow my lead, so I just tried to come out today from the jump, and I feel like we did a good job. You guys now tied with St. John's for third in the Big East. The focus and emphasis as you finish out the rest of the season, what is that? Just play our basketball. We know that we can do it. We can play with anybody in the country when we're playing our basketball, and we're going to keep doing that, listening to our coaches, and believing in each other, and we're going to get it done.


answer video on Saturday so you guys can ask questions up until about noon on Saturday. Well you guys can ask me questions anytime and I'll answer them you know when I get them or you know whatever the case may be but if you're just tuning in yesterday I posted a video it's called Q&A vlog it's called Q&A vlog okay so what we did was we made a video to where you guys can ask me questions about the channel Shaper 1000 or you know about one of my playlists like Shep Shaper and whatnot and we'll go over some things together. What we're going to do is Saturday I'm going to go ahead and make a video and I'm going to answer those questions. Please make sure it's about the channel or about monkey or I because if you're talking about how's the space shuttle go up I really don't know Google it there's an explosion it goes up there a few days later it comes back down but see you guys people's always wanting to get in in the video they want their oh I want to be on video I want to be on camera anyway guys that's just a quick reminder I just wanted to let you know remember Saturday I'll be answering those questions I'll put the video up Saturday evening that way you guys can watch a Saturday night or Sunday or at your leisure but remember it's the video right before this one there's no videos in between it's called Q&A vlog is what it's called so remember and I want to thank everybody for watching have a great rest of the week and have a better weekend so that being said Shaper 1000 the manly legend I'm gone for now guys bye bye take care
