I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween weekend. Alright, let's take a look. See what your love messages are here. Okay, can't shuffle today. Can't shuffle. Hi everybody in the chat. Hope you guys are doing well. Okay, starting with the two of wands. Somebody's at a crossroads. Waiting for an answer. Waiting for some results. Okay, three of cups. Six of pentacles. Okay, temperance. High priestess. Page of wands. Oh, I got two. Okay, the sun. Seven of cups and the four of cups. Okay, bottom of the deck. Somebody's watching you like a hawk, Virgo. Spying on you. Somebody here. Very curious about something. Okay, this can be a card of truth trying to find the truth about a situation or seek out some truth. Okay, oh, ten of swords. Oh, you're definitely going to be getting a message here. Somebody who's going to, I feel like either text or call asking if this is done, if you guys are over, if this is it.  Did you move on? Or are you like, is this whole thing done? That's what I feel. Yeah, I keep getting these similar cards. A tower. What's going on? Did you abandon or leave somebody? I feel like there's somebody here who feels like you're withdrawing or you're moving on. And it's quite a shocker to them. And I feel like somebody is seeking answers or is going to be seeking answers or like are things still, yeah, there's not enough information with the moon. Oops. Okay, there's not enough information here. What's going on? Are we are we going to buy that house together? Are we going to move in together? Are you know, are we going to start that business together? Where have you been? What's going on? Did you move? Did you buy a new home for some of you? Did you relocate? So we have cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, there's Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius energy. Okay, some of the messages, like I said, it may be for you, it may not. Don't sweat it if it's not your person. But I feel like somebody's either prying or spying or is trying to get some information, very curious. They want to know the truth about something. Maybe you ghosted somebody or you just ended a relationship. Alright, let me see what the love messages are here. Are you just left? I don't know. Stay optimistic about your love life. Wow. Somebody, it feels like whoever this person is is really like staying positive. Once it's trying to stay positive that something is not over or that something can continue forward, there's deception here. This person feels like you're hiding something or you're not being true with them or you're not being, maybe you're masking or you're not giving someone the truth. Maybe you don't want to hurt somebody's feelings. So some of you may have just decided to walk. Okay, I'm getting to know each other. I feel like this person wants to reveal more to you. They want to talk to you. They want to open up, try to get to know you or to share more things or to deepen this bond. So they're definitely in this position here where they're waiting to hear back from you. Okay, this person's willing to kind of feel like they're willing to make, they're ready to make a choice. They're ready. I feel like this has a lot to do maybe with some travel. Okay, it might be a question like for some of you, it could be like, are we still getting together? I feel the three of cups here, definitely. Are we going to have our reunion? Are we going to meet up? Are we going to come together? Okay. And the six of pentacles here, they want that give and take. What's going on? You've got somebody here. I don't know if this is your past person, or if this is someone that you were dating that maybe you just were like, nah, it's not going to work out. Some of you might have just or you're in this process of deciding currently, or you have decided that this isn't going anywhere. And I feel like this person is just not feeling that same way. Let's take a look here at the two of wands. Okay, do you have the moon card? Yeah, they're waiting for clarity. They're waiting for you to tell them some truth or to give them clarity, especially in November. They're waiting on you. Oh gosh, see, there's a page of swords again. They want to know if you're with others, where you've been, what you're doing. If you're going out having fun, if you're reuniting with an ex, this could be an ex, wondering if you are meeting new people. Very like very strong curiosity. Let me see here are the six of pentacles. Oh my goodness, the two of cups. Yeah, this person wants to come together with you. They want to finish. I just heard they want to finish what you started, or what you both started, or start over, or meet up with you. For some of them, it feels like they want to give you that money that they owe you. I don't know if somebody owes you money, or just have some type of an exchange with you. I feel like this person, if this is a past person, there may have been an element where this person was not very generous with their time, effort, or money for some of you. And I feel like they want to give. Maybe they breadcrumbs you a lot in the past. There's a lot of bread crumbing that six of pentacles is always my bread crumbing card. Some of you just said, that's it, not taking the breadcrumbs if you can't give me the whole loaf. I'm out of here. Okay, so that energy is definitely playing out. This person though is still optimistic that you guys can have a romantic relationship or move forward. Now temperance is here. So I definitely feel like this person is kind of like, all right, well, maybe it wasn't just the right time. And they're still going to wait. It's just a lot of waiting energy again. They just kind of feel like you're not like you're hiding or you're wearing this mask or you're telling them that everything's fine. You're just but they're sensing that everything's not fine. There you go again. Two of wands. Oh, my nail just popped off. Two of wands, waiting energy, just kind of sitting there like, all right, we're out of crossroads. Now what do we do? Now what do I do? Which direction do I go with Virgo? Making a choice, waiting for the call, waiting for the answer, waiting for you to reach out and you know, I feel like oh, interesting. Okay. Yeah, they feel like you're in hiding King of Pentacles here.  Okay, you're kind of closed off to them. They sense this, that you are just kind of keeping secrets. You're not saying anything. Some of you might just be telling this person, oh, I'm just busy with work. But that's, I mean, that might be a half truth. Okay, so I do feel like you're going to get communication. It's going to be some kind of a message like hey, where have you been? How are you? It's it's like a it's a prying question. What's going on? Haven't heard from you. They're trying to get it some truth here, that this person is very smitten, has a huge crush on you. If this is your past person, they're still very interested. And I do feel like you're going to get some kind of message in November from them. Okay. There you go. The eight of ones, you're not only going to get one, you're going to get a whole bunch, a whole bunch of communication coming to you from this person. Keep his arrows. Okay. Good news. And it's going to be something like I miss you. I still have a thing for you. I still smitten with you. I still want to be with you. That kind of thing. Okay, just so that they can kind of get the truth. But I do feel also that this person is going to come in with a little bit of deception themselves, in the sense that I don't feel like they're going to come in with the absolute truth in this like, in other words, we're not going to openly admit stuff. I feel like they want to just try to get you engaging in conversation with them again. So they can find out at a later date, what's going on, which is here's the sun. This is when they start opening up here. They feel like you have that you've become indifferent to them or to the relationship, or that you've ghosted them, or that you're no longer committed or you're no longer interested. Okay. They sense it. Some of you might have told them this. But they if that's the case, I feel like they want more information. Some of you may not have told them this. And they're curious to try to find out what's going on with you or if we can do this again here with the two of cups or if we can try again. Oh, look, the high priest. So this is marriage commitment. They're going to open up to you, tell you that this is what they want with you. And I know some of you might just be not interested. This could be somebody new, or somebody that you've been talking to some of you, maybe you just pulled away to have a little time to think about things for some reason. I feel like this person, if this is somebody that you are connecting with, it feels like they, they realized that they were kind of being a bit indifferent to this connection, maybe they weren't taking it seriously. And then you in turn, maybe didn't take it serious just for kind of like, Okay, well, you know, we've been talking, if you're not going to take this seriously, then neither am I. And some of you just, you know, kept it moving went right out the door. Night of Pentacles is first going to tell you, I feel like they're they're aware that they took too long, they took too much time or they took too long getting to know you, they couldn't make up their mind. And now here they are with their mind made up feels like. And so you're they're going to surprise you. Surprise message coming in for sure in November. They want to talk. They want to reveal things they want to talk to you. Okay, they're single, they're coming in single. If they had somebody in the past, you know, I didn't ask if they did, they may have if you know that for a fact, then that's your story. But I see this person coming in now as definitely in a position of single and independent.  Very interesting. Let me take a look at your other messages here for you. Hey, guys, how are you? Let's see what other messages does Virgo need to know with this person? Okay, secure home. Alright, so for some of you, this person, you guys lived together. They want to move home, come back home. Okay, for others. Some of you were in the process of trying to secure a home or a new home. Or I don't know, maybe you were like, locking up your windows and doors to keep this person out. For some of you, I feel like this person is seeking that secure home base with you and they feel like you're their home. That's where they can have this with like you're the one that they can have that secure, loving relationship like that home like that homey feeling because Virgo, you're good at that. You know, especially the ladies, or that I should say the divine feminines, you're very good at making home abundant. Okay. Okay, there you go. Waiting for an answer. That's what I'm telling you. This person's waiting here from you. They're going to wait. They're waiting to hear what you have to say where you've been. If you want to try this again, will you come together with them? Can they travel to you? If it's a long distance connection, can they come over? Can you guys sort things out? Okay. Loving older female. So you could be connecting with Cancer Scorpio Pisces, feminine energy. That could be your person. Okay. Oh, you've got new chapter. Okay. So this person is, oh, they also if you if you are divine feminine, they view you as someone who is loving, you might be a little older than them, or you might be wiser if you're younger than them, but more wiser in your age. But this person, it feels to me like they're coming in with this new chapter energy, wanting to start over, looking back on the past that you both had if this was a past situation. But they want to write the next chapters of this book between the two of you. This person, if you weren't connected in the past, they could be looking back on their own life and are ready to start new in their life and it could be with you. Okay. So there's definitely that is the world energy. That is like a new cycle beginning here in this person's life. They're ready for this new chapter in their life in love. Okay. Highly logical male. Okay. So for some of you, that could be you or somebody could have been connected with an Aquarius Libra or a Gemini. Okay. Let's see here. Hitting rock bottom. Yeah. So I definitely feel like if this is a past situation, you both have come to like bottoming out in this connection. This feels to me mostly like if this is a past person that you guys have completed some kind of a lesson or cycle, but separately, if you're in separation, both of you waking up to the what's next stage of this connection, but mostly this person is waking up to this energy. Okay. Yep. Time to go. You know where you're going and how to get there. Now it's time to go. Don't waste any more time. Just do it. Go after what you want. No hesitation. Blockages are being removed. That's what I was saying and this is what this person's energy is. It's a go for it. This feels like this person is ready to go for it. Now some of you might be like, well, I don't know. You're going to go for it and hit a brick wall because I am not there. Some of you might be in that position. Some of you might be connecting with somebody new in November and things start off very slow with this person, but it's kind of like I get a sense like things might start off slow with somebody and then you just kind of are like you lose your spark, but then I feel like this person suddenly sees that you are not interested or you just kind of fake your way out of it. Now they come to some kind of an epiphany like, wait a minute, wait a minute, I got to go for this with Virgo. Okay. So either way, past person or a new person coming in. Let's see what else learning a new skill. Okay. Well, if this is a past person for you, your past person, I definitely feel like is learned some lessons in separation. Okay. It feels like relationship skills. Maybe it's how to be a better communicator.  So that's that new skill energy. This is also about teamwork, like understanding that this is a partnership and that it must be built together. It must be crafted together. Virgo, a lot of you with a past person, you were building and your person was just on lunch break the entire time while you were doing all the work and a lot of you just put your tool belt down and you said you know what, I'm going on lunch break too. Adios. And I feel like this person, your past person is coming to terms with, you know, they needed to get up and put their tool belt on and help you build this. They weren't doing that in the past here. And if this is somebody new, which I feel like that energy is also playing out for some, this person, like it's like the same type of energy, but in somebody new and in somebody old. So there's some type of planetary shift of some sort or some things, lessons have been learned. This is what I feel. Lessons have been learned. Okay, a lot of you went no contact. If you went no contact, I do feel like that's why this person is looking for you. They're watching you. Maybe they see you on social media. They're looking at your story and you're like, why do they keep looking at my story? If they're not reaching out, they're trying to get at the truth. They're trying to find out what's going on. Some of you are not giving any information. You know, if you're not on social media, they're just looking for you. If you've just gone no contact and you're not feeding this wolf, you're not giving any information. It's making them more curious and it will cause them to come forward. Okay, your absence has them needing to fill this void to get more information about you or just to see if you are available. If you're still available to have to make something work. Okay, I know. I know. I hear you. Some of you are like, nope, I am available for somebody new, but I do feel like a lot of you are going to meet somebody new and they're going to be, I don't know, some of you might be getting, some of you might get this sense when you meet somebody new, like, oh my gosh, is this going to turn into the same thing that I've already been in? So some of you might be going very slow or pulling away and this person actually, you guys are attached by a string. So when you pull that string away, you're also pulling them to you and you're doing that by no contact, by not communicating. Some of you, like I say, he just left the scene of the crime. All right, let me see. Okay, this person's going to take a risk with you, Virgo, because their thought process is what do I have to lose now? I don't have Virgo. I've lost everything. So I have nothing to lose by taking this risk. I'm willing to start over, even though I know it's going to be hard, but I need to spread my wings and stop overthinking this. This person might have had deep fear about failure or about things not working out. So they weren't willing to take that risk and to lose you, but they've lost you.  A new person comes in and then they don't take a risk and they lose you.   Because I feel like a lot of you are like, I'm willing to take a risk to find out, to explore, to see how things might go. And if you've got somebody here who's fear-based, I just kind of feel like Virgo is like, I can't deal with the fear-based. Like, I can care and I will love you and I can try to show you that I'm a safe person. But if you're not willing to take that risk or you keep dipping out, Virgo is like, I can't stay. Because that's going to cause damage to my soul and my self-esteem. And I deserve better to have somebody come in who is willing to take this risk together. So you definitely have them in this position. Because like I said, a lot of you just pulled your energy back or your no contact. You're just not trying to engage in this anymore. And a lot of you are having somebody show up here who's like, oh, I got to do it. Because I have, I got nothing left. I have nothing left. Okay, this person's going to stand their ground. They're going to stand up. You got to fight for your right. They're going to stand their ground. I don't feel like this is something this person's used to doing. It's a big shift and a big change. See? You can do this. That's what I'm saying. This is a card of courage. They have that they're getting the courage and the strength to withstand the situation. Coming in with kindness. It's their best attribute. They're fighting back their fears. Pulling that courage up from the ground and holding steady. They want to win or be a winner in your life. They don't want you to see them as someone who's weak and that they can't do this. Because I feel like a lot of you feel like this person just didn't have the courage to even try or to put in their best effort. And I feel like this person is coming up with this mighty fist. Okay, you're going to get a sweet text message. I miss you. Where have you been? What are you doing? How are things? When can we connect? And I don't feel like you guys are going to answer them right away. I kind of get that sense that some of you might just get that look. You might get that text, you know, if you get it on the phone and look at it and say, hmm, I don't know what to think about this. I don't know if I trust this, but what is the text? The sweet text message is coming in. Committed love relationship. Okay. So this person, that's what's behind it. That's what their intentions are. I know some of you are like, well, now it's a little too late. This person is definitely looking at the situation differently. Looking at love from different wearing different set of glasses here. And they felt stuck, but they're coming to terms with that was just an illusion that they created in their mind that they're fear created. They're definitely having a slight change in view, seeing things quite differently now. And I feel like for a lot of you, you went no contact or you just disappeared completely off the radar, radio silence. And that seems to have left them sitting with themselves. And now they're like, oh, they're feeling the absence. They're feeling the absence. Okay. Hate speed and travel. So this person's going to come in very fast. They're going to come in very fast, like out of the blue, and things are going to pick up very quickly if you receive and you allow it. Okay. But no matter what, even if this person reaches out to you and don't respond, then they're going to get in an even stronger sense that you're actually gone. And then they're going to pick up speed and then you're going to get more messages.  You won't even get the messages. Well, I'm telling you that they're going to be sent. So if you have them blocked, that's your will. And that doesn't mean this messages aren't being sent. It just means that you have them blocked and you're not going to be able to receive them. Okay. And if you want to keep it blocked, then this reading means nothing because you're done. But if some of you are like, well, hmm, maybe I want to see. Maybe I just want to see. And some of you might choose to unblock this person in some way. See what they do. But a lot of you, I feel like even if you do that, you're not going to just fall for the words. You're done with lip service. Take the risk or take a hike solo. You know, okay. There you go. Message from an admirer. So I'm telling you, Virgo, this person is 100%. You are so totally getting communication in November. Yes, sir. Rebob, I took a lot of cards here. Money in the bank. Some of you, your person's a wrestler. I just heard. That's a strange message. But some of you are, yeah, either they're like, they could be professional. They could just do it on the side. They just told me, or maybe you are a wrestler. But this is kind of like money in the bank is like a sure shot. Money in the bank is like investing and saving. Investing in this relationship to save it. And I feel like that's their MO right here. That's their MO. That's what they're coming in with. All right, let's take a look at the Hidden Truth Oracle messages. I love you unconditionally. This person, Virgo. Oh my gosh. Now, if you just met this person and they're telling you this, I'd be like, slowly stepping away if you just met them and they're doing that because I'm just, I don't know.  I accept you unconditionally. You could take it that way. But if they're coming in like, I love you and you guys just met and it's like, there's, how could you possibly love me? You don't even know me. Then I would just get some clarification about what they mean by that. But this does, this could be your past person for some of you who's coming in with this energy. Like they do accept you. They do love you unconditionally. They always have. They probably just weren't very good at expressing that or showing that to you. Or they just were passive in a lot of ways, but yet still love you. Okay. All right. I left before you could leave me. Now, some of you, this person did leave. This person did dip out and first and then you in turn, instead of chasing this person. Now, some of you may have chased them and some of you may not have. Either way, at some point, you guys made the decision to leave as well. Maybe you were forced to or you had no other choice. It's very well could have happened. Can you believe I'm doing these readings with only a missing now? I feel like such a scrub. I don't want no scrubs. Scrubs a guy can't get no love from me. All right. Let me see. Okay. I'm so attracted to you. This person is definitely, the timing just wasn't right. I feel like this person, for them, you might have thought the timing was right, but for them, it wasn't right. But this person is still wildly attracted to you.   This person really never knew what you were going to come up with next. I don't feel like you were, usually Virgos are pretty predictable, but I don't know. I feel like you were unpredictable. Your unpredictability was predictable. So you were kind of a wild card and they look at you or they've looked at you and they think, man, I just don't know what Virgos going to come out with this time. It's insanely intriguing in a lot of ways, but it feels like it was very much like a roller coaster kind of situation. For some of you, this might have been a twin flame. You don't know how hard it was to let you go. Yeah, I don't feel like this person did leave you. I don't feel like, in the sense, maybe they physically walked or they just, you know, that it's like gone, but not gone, never fully letting you go. I hid who I really am from you. Okay, so I do kind of feel like, again, with the deception card, they might have been masking. They might have just not been sure of themselves or sure of your connection. You might meet somebody new coming in. And this is how things play out. You know, the whole reading with somebody new, you might have somebody new you're talking to now, and this is playing out. And for those of you who don't, there could be like that highly logical male or a deeply loving female coming in where this energy plays out here. Things begin to stall. Maybe at the end of the month, you decide, no, it's not going to work.  Or some of you have and they're feeling it.  It's like physics. It's just like the natural flow of things here. Let's see what the messages of love are. Messages of love. Decision person is making a decision here. That's what I said. You have two decision cards. They're ready to decide about your connection. This person feels they're ready to be completely open with you. Okay. And they have regret. A lot of remorse and regret for not taking that risk. Okay. And secretly longing for you. I don't feel like this.  I feel like they just keep waiting for your ship to pass by. A lot of you are like, no, my ship ain't going that way. I took my ship, got off on the island and I'm out there partying with all the natives and doing my own thing. And you're not trying to have this anymore. And this person's like, mm-mm. They're deeply longing for you. But they're doing it. They've been doing it privately. I don't feel like if you guys have been in separation or you separate from this person in November, I feel like this person actually winds up longing for you even more. Retreat. Yeah. Some of you just retreated. You and this person taking a time out. Just not like I just don't know. Some of you just decided, you know what? I just saw some of you get this text message or communication or somehow, some way.  Once you recharge your phone, then if you get it through the phone, then the phone message comes through. That's just what they're giving me. Or you've done that already. Are you doing that right now? You've just recharged your phone and you're just now getting a message from somebody here. Strange energy. Okay. So you've got fixed moon, hold your vision. So I feel like this person right now has got their focus solely on you. They're holding their vision, the visions of you, visions of you and them together. I don't feel like this person is willing to let go of their vision, their hope for the future. Okay. Conclusions are within reach, full moon eclipse. So interesting. I feel like the answers, they're seeking answers, the answers will come. They're trying to conclude definitely like come to some kind of conclusion to find out if you're still interested or if you want to try again with them. Okay. New moon and Libra. New romantic cycle is beginning here with you and this person. Definitely. Okay.  This could be somebody new coming in, still the beginning of the month. So you could be meeting them and things just go real slow or they stall out or nothing happens and you dip out. Some of you might just be very impatient and this person might be a lot more patient, but whatever goes on past or new, there's a romantic cycle. Remember, it's November, it's Scorpio season, everything gets revealed during Scorpio season. And it's also a time of people coming together as well more often than any other time during the year. This is when the cycle starts, romantic cycles begin with new people, past people, all that energy. Let's take a look here and see what your actual advice is, Virgo. Virgo's advice. Okay. You have the aid of pentacles. So right now, Virgo, your advice is to learn all you can learn all you can about some type of subject or career. Now these may or may not be related to the reading. Okay. But this is also about some of you just need to really start enjoying your employment or what you're creating or building. Maybe you are creating or designing something. It's like it kind of feels like it's like a some type of form of like craftsmanship. If you've been doing that carving, painting, creating artwork, building, building your portfolio, whatever, it feels like keep that going. That's just your advice message. Just don't stop doing that. That's just that's money in the bank for some of you. That's a sure bet. And also some of you might your advice might be here. Well, your advice is with some of you might be considering going back to school, taking a seminar or finding a mentor to help you through some stuff. So I feel like if these are things that are on your mind or not, but they may come up or they may be some things for you to look into or just to keep going in that energy, I feel like that will be very helpful for you. I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if you're questioning this at this time. Maybe asking someone to help teach you something or train you in something. Your other advice here is a night of cups.  Okay, Virgo, get out of your isolation, be romantic, be flirtatious. Your advice is to be introspective. And I feel like it's okay for you to be fickle right now. You know, you don't have to make any kind of decision right away. If you begin to feel yourself falling in love, your advice is to allow that to happen.  That doesn't count.  A sudden lot of affair may be popping up for you guys. Allow it to happen. Okay. Anything that makes your heart flutter, allow that. It just feels like allow the love to come in. Okay, if you have a love of art or poetry, embrace that. But things, things will begin, you're going to start feeling those butterflies. I feel like you're going to get a lot of, there might be somebody coming in with a proposal, some of you. It doesn't have to be marriage. It could just be a proposal or a secret admirer or someone complimenting you and giving you their giving affection and love to you. Allow that to happen. Don't be afraid of that. I'm just hearing. Enjoy the romantic holiday season. Be free. Okay, you've got the emperor. So this is Ari's energy. Okay, so some of you might need to be, well, to tell Virgo to get a bit more organized is like an understatement, but you may need to get a bit more organized in your life to be a bit more logical in order to increase your success. Okay, take charge of some situation in your life in November, Virgo. Accept some kind of leadership role. So you might be offered a leadership role in your career or somewhere in your life, accept that. Stay focused on structure and discipline as well. Okay, wise counselor. Okay, so your advice here is to unify yourself with a spiritually minded community, which will be very beneficial to your soul. Also to ask the divine for help and trust the answers that will come. If you've been doing that, keep doing that. If you haven't done that, start doing that, start connecting with spirit. Take a look at your traditional methods and ways of doing things and compare them with new ideas to see which is the best path for you. So I feel like some of you might be connecting with a counselor you could be or someone who is wise or your advice is to begin doing that so you can sort out maybe some past traumas or things like that in your life that might have been very difficult for you and you know, but this is also a card of the Hierophant. Excuse me. So this is kind of a sense of like looking at ways in which you your expectations of yourself and other people, your advice is to kind of evaluate your beliefs, your belief system, your traditions. Okay, see where you have conformed to things that weren't good for you and look for ways to conform to things that are good for you. This is kind of about getting in alignment with your beliefs, your system. So if somebody was treating you like, okay, they were just going to accept a friend's benefit, they just want a friend's benefits. I'm using this an example. If that was the case, and that's not what you wanted, but you went along with it anyway, it's time to reevaluate what is it that you want? What do you deserve? Okay, so I kind of feel like that's really mostly your advice at this time. So you guys, let's get some charms. Okay, so we've got the the ribbon, the healing ribbon. Now there might be some of you who are connected to some type of fundraising for some type of cancer awareness, or there's a connection, a remembrance for people. I think November is pancreatic cancer month. So that might play a role for you in and it feels like in membranes in remembrance of somebody maybe had pancreatic cancer or somebody that had some type of cancer of some sort, I just see you maybe putting a ribbon on or maybe you wear a ribbon, could be breast cancer, like you wear a ribbon in solidarity or support, or you might meet somebody who was dealing with that or is connected to that in some way. You might be like volunteering in some type of support groups of something like that in November that's connected to some type of cancer awareness or not even cancer for others, it could just be, you know, they do make ribbons for a lot of things and it's just to show a sign of support. Let's see, maybe you are wearing one of those ribbons right now or you have one somewhere. Oh, I also heard somebody needs to like start crossing their legs when they sit. I don't know who that's for. They just, I don't know who I'm channeling here, maybe this is like a family member or someone who's passed away or something. The message is just telling somebody here who's listening, hey, can you start crossing, maybe somebody in your past said that to you or like a parent or someone when you sit cross your legs, I'm gonna leave that right there. So we have a teapot here, very beautiful. I think somebody might be getting a teapot for a gift, like a saucer or cup in a teapot might be receiving that or giving that as a gift. Oh, they just said a hot and steamy, hot and steamy. That means maybe some of you are doing a neppy pot because you have a cold. We're trying to cleanse out your sinuses or drinking hot tea or some hot broth. If you have a cold or you're not feeling well. So we do have an electric guitar here. Okay. Some of you, I feel like you might be thinking about buying an electric guitar or buying that as a gift for somebody or you're connected with someone that plays electric guitar. You might be in a music store or have been in a music store looking at musical instruments. You might be going to see like a rock concert or a band or something in the month of November. Drinking, maybe some of you might be having wine or drinking or having some celebratory times. Okay. So also in the US that we have Thanksgiving, which is November 25th this year. So there might be like some type of Thanksgiving holiday event of some sort or a family where there's like a lot of drinking and having fun and there's music and celebratory time. Maybe you're having a glass of wine right now. It jumped out three. Okay. We have two glasses of wine. So Virgo, we're toasting. Why can't I pick this up? There's toasting going on here. You might be toasting with someone or having like a celebratory drink with somebody or you're both going out to there could be an offer for a dinner date of some sort. You're both having one person might just be having soda and another person might be having wine or you know, a non alcohol, one non-alcoholic and one alcoholic drink or you both are having that. You're trying different cocktails. Some of you might be on your second glass right now listening to this reading. You finished the first. Now you're on to the second. But I do feel like very celebratory energy definitely happening in November. Maybe you're giving a toast at somebody's wedding or some type of event. Everybody's cheers, cheering. Okay. So we have wow, the seahorse. Okay. I just heard somebody say, if I could have the baby, I would have. If I could have the baby, I would have done it. Or if I could have had the baby for you, I would have had the baby for you. I don't know what that means. That's what I'm picking up from that seahorse. Somebody might be carrying a child or soon we'll find out about carrying, being pregnant or connected to you. Could be you or somebody connected to about carrying a child. And then there might be somebody who is carrying a baby in one of those bundles that's attached, that's real close to the body and hands and arms are free. You know, I don't remember what those things are called. It's kind of like a little baby's wrapped up in a papoose and is real close to the body. Okay. So now you have a shipwheel. Oh, okay. Oops. That was my message. Somebody's got a yacht or we'll be going on a yacht. Okay. A sailor, somebody might be a sailor, maybe a sailor in the military. Okay. But it just feels like they're giving me the phrase at the helm, at the helm, somebody is at the helm, steering the ship or is traveling to come see you. I don't know. This feels like a ship's wheel. So however that resonates for you, something about a ship's wheel. Guess what? Bye-bye. All right. Way too many. Spirits getting excited, you know, because I must be hitting on some things here and they're like, no, no. Usually when I'm channeling, I get a lot of different people showing up that want to give messages. And obviously the excitement is just overbearing and they all want to talk, but they'd all don't get a chance. I'm going to keep the plane. Okay. So there is a jet, there is a like a passenger, a passenger plane. There might be travel by boat, travel by air, something to do with an airport or a docking station. I don't know, maybe your person is an alien and they're out there on the satellites and they're coming to see you. Okay, let's see. All right. We're getting a lot of music energy here. Okay. Oh, I just, I just heard somebody just said, it's music to my ears. It's music to my ears. I don't know if somebody said that to you before. You heard that phrase or used to say that. You know what? This jet, so this plane, so I know like, listen, I'm not a jet connoisseur. I know some jets have wings that have only like one engine on it. This one has two. This is like a four engine passenger plane. So I don't know what that means. Maybe somebody's a pilot? I'm just, but I keep hearing it's music to my, this is music to my ears. This is just what I wanted to hear. Very strange. All right, let me see. A couple more arms here. Believe it or not, you guys, what fell on the floor was a yet another wine glass. So there is definitely a reunion or some kind of celebration or party of some sort happening here. This could be you and your friends.  Some type of celebration is happening. Of course, you know, I know we're going on the holidays, but November, it may not just be a U.S. Thanksgiving. It could be like, oh, for some it could be like going out the night before Thanksgiving. You could be meeting somebody new while you're out. This is celebratory energy. Wow. Here we've got clouds. We have a cloud. This is like cloud nine. This plane up in the clouds. Somebody's coming to see you or you're getting on a plane and you're traveling to see somebody else or somebody's flying in or flying home and there's kiss lips here. Oh, oh my gosh. Maybe you're putting lipstick on right now or maybe you are receiving, you might get a, it's like a kissy lip, a text emoji or you might send one. Somebody here, it might, it's like really red lipstick or a red kissy lips kind of thing. It could be somebody's giving a kiss goodbye as somebody travels or maybe or a kiss hello as someone arrives, but red lipstick. It feels like either you're going to be kissing someone with red lipstick or you're going to either receiving or giving. That's what I feel. But this is like music to my ears. It's cloud nine. It's real feel good energy. It's like a surprise love situation coming in here or coming back around somebody. Listen Virgo, I feel like somebody who's very optimistic that things can work out here with you. Now, whether you want to give somebody a chance, that's up to you. Okay. You have free will.  Move it on. Ready for someone new and there could be somebody new and it goes too slow and you are like, nope, that's it. I'm not waiting. And then they come back around to try to make something work with you. Okay. If they goes to you or you goes to them, so the energies can play out in a lot of different ways, but we'll have to see what happens for November obviously. See how things play out. Definitely leave me comments and let me know if things change or if this energy plays out for you in any way, shape or form.

So guys, I am back with another Cyberpunk 2077 video, and today I bring you part 2 of all the legendaries in the game scattered across Night City. How's it going guys, my name is DPJ and if you're new to the video, leave a like if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. Okay, so part 1 which is linked at the top of the video description comment section. I showcased all the legendary weapons as well as crafting specs. Today guys, we check out all weapons slash armor, cyberware and cyber mods as well as the few cyberware crafting specs you can get too. Now everything will be time stamped down below, and that's the reason that I actually had to do 2 half to this video because there's that many legendaries in this game now 170+. I couldn't fit all the time stamps in the video description because they're limited to 5000 characters, so I had to do this video in 2 halves. But part 1 is like I said linked in the video description. Now a few things you need to take note of, a lot of today's loot is found within the open world, and depending on your level or your lock, certain gear may not appear as legendary. If this is the case for you, there's a couple of things you can do, you can run away from the said item and run back to it probably 5200 meters, you can create a save file and load that save file, or you can try skipping time by 24 hours. Like I said it's normally due to your level, but sometimes it can just be bad luck. Now also if you want to just reset or re-roll that item, this helps that way too. Now I did make a video like this over a year ago, but because so many things have changed, an updated version was definitely needed. This is post 1.6 edge runners update by the way, so yeah it will definitely help you out. And there we have it guys, like I said I think it's time stamped within the video description, hopefully in the comment section, if we can fit it in a comment. So yes I hope you enjoyed the video if you do, leaving a like really helps out, it took me an absolute age to make these videos. Stay tuned for more Cyberpunk and hopefully guys I will see you on that next, one.


The second tip for cold-calling is to have a really good script. This is what I believe. I'm sharing that with you for nothing.  Okay, so my script is, my magic line is, is what in the world can I do to help you? Okay, this works across the board. Why? Because relationships are universal. Across all industries, across all countries, across all worlds. Alright, relationships. People just want to know that the person on the other end cares about them, genuinely cares about them, wants the best for them, is trying to help them. Okay, so that's what it's all about, is you want to help people feel comfortable with you. Your number one job is to make people feel comfortable with you. How do we do that? The first way we do that is by being comfortable with them. If you're comfortable with them, they're going to be comfortable with you. Okay, if you're scared, if you're, if you're timid, if you're nervous, then they're going to be scared, timid and nervous. Okay, so you have to be comfortable in these situations and they're going to feel comfortable. If you're comfortable, they're going to say, yeah, this must be a comfortable situation. The second way you make them feel comfortable is by not trying to sell them too fast. See, this is the mistake most salespeople and cold callers make is, they call, they see how you're doing and they immediately just try to sell. Sell, sell, sell. If they hear no, they try to handle objections. This is the wrong strategy in my opinion. Okay, and just keep in mind, I'm just telling you what I think. Okay, the way I believe that business should be built, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just giving you my opinion. Okay, letting you see a different side of this. Okay, and I think this is really the future of sales, not necessarily just for cold calling, just the way that we communicate. Okay, you could be DMing people, you could use my scripts to DM people. Email, okay, it could be on postcards. I don't care how you're communicating. The fact is is that we want them to feel comfortable. We don't want to sell them too soon. We want them to feel like they're part of our extended family. Okay, now we're building a business of people who know that we're here for them. When you build a business like that and they know you care about them, they're going to come back time after time after time again. That's when you have a real business, repeat business, referrals from that repeat business, and referrals of referrals. So you need a good script. I don't care what industry you're in. You know, there's a lot of real estate agents that follow this channel. So I'm in real estate, so I have a real estate script, but this script could be used across the board. Okay, so let's go through it real quickly. Okay, hey, is this Mr. So-and-so? Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so? Hey, Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so? This is Ricky Krooth down at whatever your company is. Ricky Krooth, the remix of Orange Beach. Ricky Krooth at the Ford dealership. Whatever. How are you doing today? So this is Ricky Krooth, the remix of Orange Beach. How are you doing today? I'm doing good, too. I'm just enjoying the day. Isn't it gorgeous? So I'm going to say something about the weather to throw them off. I'm not trying to sell them too soon. I'm just trying to see how they're doing. Get a feel for what's going on. Now, a lot of people say, that doesn't work, Ricky. You're talking about the weather. They want you to get to the point. Dada. No, that actually loosens them up because a lot of people are tight. Then if you will use that weather park as a non-cellsy way to loosen them up a little bit in the conversation, you can transition. We'll transition quickly in a minute. I'll show you. We'll transition. But we want to get them feeling a little comfortable first. So we're going to say something about the weather, or it could be, hey, what about that Super Bowl? You're getting ready for New Year's. How was your Christmas? There's so many things right there. But we want it to be short, sweet, and a question to let them respond. Now, they may respond with something very pleasant. They may talk a long time about the weather with you. I've gotten to so many long weather conversations. They may go there with it, or they may be very short. Yeah, me too. What's going on? What can I do for you? That kind of thing. Either way, it goes. When you get to that point in the call, we're going to, this is our first transition. We're going to say, I got you. Well, look, I don't want to take it too much of your time. But that's the transition. Look, I don't want to take it too, I got you. Look, I don't want to take it too much of your time. But that is the transition where when we get to the awkward point in the call, because even if you have a pleasant call, it's going to come to an end and there's this awkward. Or if they're just really quick and say, what can I do for you? The weather's great. What can I do for you? There's awkward, right? So right there, really quickly, we have to stick it really fast and make it feel comfortable. Now we're going to get into the reason of our call. The reason of our call is if you're in real estate, it's like, hey, a house around the corner just sold, didn't know if there's anything in the world I could do for you. If we're calling about, you know, cars, if we're in the car dealership business, hey, we just got some new cars on the lot, didn't know if there's anything in the world I could do for you. Okay, it could be anything. Insurance, it's like, hey, we're down here, we've sold, you know, X amount of policies this month, didn't know if there's anything we could do for you. Or we just got some new product in, didn't know if there's anything in the world we could do for you. Okay, it's going to be a statement about whatever market you're in, whatever industry, whatever's going on, and then didn't know if there's anything in the world I could do for you. So we're not selling them. We're telling them something. We're respecting their time, telling them something about our industry, asking if there's anything we can do for them, right? And so it just opens up the conversation. Now we can find out what's going on. We can talk to them. We're not trying to sell them. They feel comfortable. We're having a conversation. We're going back and forth. This is real. Okay, this is a real situation that is going to yield real business. This is, I care about you and I want to help you short and long term. What can I do for you? I'm ready to go to work for you. That's what this script is. So at that point, they may have something in mind. They may be interested in what you're doing. They may not. Either way it goes. I got you. You know, if they do, then we're going to follow that down that path and help them and do that deal and sell that product, whatever it is, find out more about it. Just keep in mind, we always want to find out why people want to do things. When we find out why people want to do things, then we can truly help them. So ask the questions. Why are you doing this? Why are you thinking about that? What I can do to help you. Okay, let's do this. Let me create this game plan based on why you want to do it. And then this is what we'll do. And then boom, we'll get the desired result for you. Boom. If they don't, if they're not interested in what you're doing, we want to approach it like, I got you. Well, no problem. You know, would you be interested in that in the future? Or is there anybody that you would work with concerning that? If not, I would love the opportunity to stay in touch with you. Right? And then we're going to get their contact information. What's a good email address for you? Is this your cell number? And we're going to put them in our email database. We're going to put them in our text database. And we're going to use that information to do consistent original content across those platforms to build brand with these prospects for the rest of their life. And we're going to do this over and over and over again for thousands and thousands of people. And the third tip for cold calling is literally to have fun with it. You should have fun with this.  Like an athlete goes to practice every day. Right? A professional athlete, their job is to go to practice every day, practice and train all day every day. And the off season, during the season, for the game. Okay? Well, I want you to think about this is that there's no game. Okay? We're just practicing from here for the rest of our life. So I want you to have the same determination as a professional athlete. I want you to wake up early. I want you to get your mind right. I want you to be ready. I want you to go in. I want you to start making your calls and literally think about it as a practice. It doesn't matter if we win or lose. It doesn't matter if we, you know, make a bunch of sales that day or not. We're practicing. We're working on our communication skills to learn how to be better the next day and the next day and the next day.  And if you do that, your skill level is going to increase. You're going to get to a point where you're making so many sales, it's ridiculous. And you have no idea how you got where you are at the top of the mountain. And it all comes from making those calls, but also the second part of it is getting that contact information and building that personal brand. So like I said, hit that like button if this video helped you out with your cold calls. Leave me a comment if there's any questions at all whatsoever I can do for you. I'm going to link some videos below of me making cold calls. And just let me know if there's any kind of videos or any kind of content that you guys want. I'll be glad to make it. I'll see you guys on the next video. Let's go!


It's Steve. Mr. Mayor. Welcome everyone to City Hall. Madam Clerk, would you please call the roll? Good evening. Mr. Rickerman. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Present. Mr. Badura. Here. Mr. Vine. Mr. Davis. Here. Mayor Benjamin. Present. If you'd all stand up and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance, be great. Councilor McDowell, would you please bless us with a word of prayer? Let us, by our heads, create a God for all that you've done for us today, for the ability to move about, for the ability to gather in this place, in this room. We ask your blessings of sensitivity might shroud us with goodness and with mercy. Allow us to sense the growth of our city, but also allow us to be hearers and doers. We ask it in your name. Amen.

Welcome back, ma'am. Thank you, Councilman. Well, since you brought it up, I'll say something. I just want to say thank you for all of your support and help in going through this rough time. But mostly for Howard, Ed, and all the Council members and the mayor for their thoughts and prayers in the whole town. And I thank God for giving me the will to survive this period. And I'm looking forward to do the job that I was elected to do. Thank you. Thank you, Mo. How's that? All right. Is there a motion to approve agenda items 5-24? I'll move to the second. Second.

Before we slip into presentations, I do want some of you, if this is your first city council meeting, I do not wear a red blazer every city council meeting. And this is not a political statement other than the fact of wearing blue slacks and a white shirt, OK? It's election day. And hopefully, before the next 45 minutes, you've all exercised your right to the franchise, this essential right to vote. So I'm going to red, white, and blue for the good old American flag. And that's about it. You won't see this red blazer again for another year, OK? I hope not. OK, all right. So thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And we have several really wonderful tributes to city employees and others. Mr. Mayor, we're going to work as expeditiously as we can to get through them. Number 25, the city lights employee recognition. Mr. Mayor, as I begin to read, I'm going to quickly ask some members of our fire department to join me at the podium. We're about to recognize 11 members of our city's fire department for the heroic actions they took to saving life on October 10. They saved the life of Josh Boyd, a standout athlete at Richland Northeast High School. I'm going to go ahead and call the names of these wonderful firefighters and public servants to come join me at the podium while we show a clip that talks about exactly what they did. Fire Captain Kareem Spain is in there. Some firefighters played basketball at a gym they don't normally play basketball at. They ended up being at the right place at the right time saving someone's life. News 19's Nick Jones has the story tonight. It was God's plan for us to be there on that particular day. You never know what might happen on the basketball court. Normally, we go play basketball when we get off the shelf. Maintaining our conditioning, especially with this department in our line of work and what we do. Captain Kareem Spain and Kaya Thomas are firefighters with the Columbia Fire Department. Last week, they were playing a pickup game at Sonny Sportsplex in Columbia with some high schoolers. We knew we was older, but we had a game planned. We thought we did. We knew we were in for a challenge. Minutes into the game, something went wrong. While we was playing, we noticed that Josh went down. You might know Josh Boyd as the quarterback at Richland Northeast High School. The firefighters believed he was having a seizure and started helping Boyd like they'd been trained to do. Kaya was there at his head, monitoring his airway. And then he told me, hey, Cap, I don't think he's breathing good. And then he checked his pulse and then he realized he had a very faint pulse at the time and then shortly after, no pulse at all. The firefighters sprung into action and performed chest compressions to help bring Boyd back to life.  We figured we'd do what we are trained to do and then we'll leave it in God's hands. Boyd was able to be taken to the hospital. According to the Richland Northeast Football Team's Twitter, Boyd had a heart attack and ended up having surgery. They're happy to say everything went well and he's now recovering. Regardless of we're on shift for off shift for whatever it's just about, just looking out for the next man. Because at some point in time, I would hope if I'm ever in that same predicament of that situation, someone would do the same for me. I just want people to know that we are here. We're here to help. It's not about just putting out house fires, but we have a lot of skills that we have to offer the citizens here. Josh will hopefully have a full recovery soon and then later and he can get back to his duties as being a superstar quarterback. A GoFundMe page has been set up for Boyd while his family tries to cover hospital expenses. Their goal is to raise $5,000 and so far they've raised over $3,800. In Columbia, Nick Jones, News 19 WLTX. And counsel, while this incident was very scary, it proved two things. Number one, our firefighters serving our city are well trained and number two, they are never off duty and always ready to serve in a time of need. I want to recognize every single one of them by calling their names individually. There are 11 of them that were there that day. I don't know that all 11 are here, but we have just a small token for you all. You can either use it all on yourself or share. I'll let you decide that. Fire Captain Kareem Spain, engineer Arthur Mitchell, senior firefighter Jonathan Dukes, senior firefighter Stefan Sims King, firefighter Kai Thomas, firefighter Keontae Curitan, firefighter Caleb McLaughlin, firefighter Marcus P, firefighter Andrew McLean, the third, and firefighter Cedarius Thomas, and firefighter Lynn K. Stokes Jr. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening. On behalf of me and Josh and his father, we just want to say we thank God for Captain Spain and, excuse me, and firefighter Thomas and all of them, all of y'all, it was a team effort and y'all saved my boy and I cannot explain to you how grateful I am to each one of you and may God just continue to bless y'all, encourage y'all, your families and anything you need me and Josh to help with, I'll be right there for you. All y'all, thank you. I just want to give a little token from Josh and me to Captain Spain. And it's going to coordinate and making sure each firefighter gets their city lights pinned and a small token of appreciation from us, Mayor Benjamin and Council, I think y'all know it, I don't have those without saying how great these individuals are and the sacrifice they make every day. Yes, sir, no doubt. Yes, sir. Amazing. And up, this is UC wants a photograph. Oh, absolutely, absolutely, come here. We're right here, over here. Okay. All right, yeah. Yeah. Get the boys up here. Come on. Come on, let's do it. So even though Mr. Even though Mr. Davis and Mr. McDowell gave me a hard time about my blazer, a majority of the firefighters like the red blazer, I guess, you know, so I'm in good shape there. We can't begin to to emphasize how much we value our first responders, the men and women who run towards danger when we're all running the opposite direction. We have a fantastic fire department under Chief Jenkins leadership and we're so thankful for the heroic work they do every single day and that obviously see them investing in the life of this incredible young man. We know it's going to pay dividends for this community for many, many years to come. So God bless you and may God continue to keep you, son. And thank you all for all the work you do. We do every day, every day. So thank you. Mr. Mayor and Council, carrying on with our public safety theme, it's my honor to recognize our police chief, William Skip Holbrook as the 2018 Strom Thurman Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement recipient, yes. And we were very fortunate to join him last week as he received this award out at Fort Jackson in partnership with the United States Attorney's Office for the District of South Carolina Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association and the Strom Thurman Foundation. The Columbia Police Department announced that Chief Skip Holbrook is the humble recipient of the Strom Thurman Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement. You all know all of the accolades that Skip has received since being here, but honestly, we just know him as a police chief that is truly about educating his officers and working so closely with this community and you as council members and all of the city's team. So he was so well-deserved. I was honored to write a letter of support for this and let you all say a few more words if you like. Come on, come on, Chief. I think the mayor has the actual award. Yeah, for those of you who may not know, I had the pleasure several years ago of helping run a state law enforcement agency. Your firefighters are shown so well, Chief Jenkins. Chief Jenkins, this, for those who may not know, this is the top award, the top law enforcement award given to a public safety officer in this state. So as we all know every day that we have the very best police chief in the country, it's good that others across the state have acknowledged that as well. Skip? Good evening. Before I respond to this, our department, awesome. That's what it's all about. I was very honored to be here tonight with you. So I was surprised, extremely proud and very, very privileged to have been recognized and received this award. Ms. Wilson, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you. Having confidence and the courage to select me during a tumultuous time for our city, Mayor, and everyone of you all on council, the support that you have given me individually, the autonomy to do my job, the individual support and the financial support for us to do the things we need to do to make our city safe is something, unlike I've never experienced in almost 30 years of policing. So I simply have the distinct honor and pleasure of leading incredibly brave and courageous men and women that serve this city. And we absolutely are committed to professional, fair, unbiased, ethical police work. And I think they do demonstrate that every day. And I'm just proud to have the opportunity to lead a department such as this. And I'm very, very humbled to have received this award. And thank you so much for recognizing me this evening. Amen. Amen. Thank you. All right. Too much. Too much, too much. All right, MC Manager. Carrying on in the spirit of recognitions of staff that are so well-deserved. Recognition of Mr. Demetrius Rump as a 2018 safety professional of the year, award recipient Ms. Pamela Benjamin, our chief of staff and director of human resources will present Demetrius his award. Good evening. So I always tease Chief Holbrook and say that the reason why he's here is because of me, even though he gave Ms. Wilson the credit. It's all because of me. But the other person that I'm very happy that we hired was Demetrius. So it is my distinct pleasure to recognize the city's director of risk and safety, Demetrius Rump. Demetrius was recently awarded the 2018 Safety Professional of the Year Award by J.J. Keller and Associates, one of the most respected names in safety and regulatory compliance. This is the 16th annual award that recognizes unique and effective safety programs throughout the country. Rustin Keller, president and CEO at J.J. Keller had this to say, we received many outstanding applications this year, but our three winners rose to the top due to their remarkable commitment to workplace safety. Mr. Keller went on to say that ensuring employees make it home to their families every day is truly what J.J. Keller helps their customer companies do, and it is what these winners are doing. Demetrius received the award, but the third place award, but he is certainly first place here at the city of Columbia. Demetrius has only been at the city for almost two years, but he has been instrumental in changing the organizational culture here at the city as it relates to safety. Whether it was creating a safety committee that encourages employees to participate and take ownership in the safety process, or getting bumps and bruises while conducting active shooter training. He got a lot of, he had a lot of aches and pains after he got through with some of those active shooter trainings, or being the face of the city when visiting an injured city employee in the hospital. Demetrius embodies a true safety professional. Demetrius has over 20 years of safety experience and is in his own words, Demetrius says, it gives him great pleasure to know that he has added value to the employees here at the city of Columbia when he can educate, elevate, and empower them at the end of the day to complete their tasks safely and return home without a scratch. So on behalf of the city of Columbia, please join me in recognizing Demetrius Rump as one of the JJ Keller and Associates 2018 Safety Professionals of the Year. Thank you for all you do, Demetrius. Let's say something. Well, first of all, thank you, Mayor Benjamin, Councilman, City Manager, Wilson, and my supervisor, Pamela Benjamin. Thanks Pam, I would not have been here if you hadn't given me the opportunity to bring my talent, my skill set, and my knowledge here at the city of Columbia. I'm humbly honored to accept this award. I know it's an individuality award, but really and truly it's about the 2,400 employees that diligently work here at the city of Columbia who provide a public service day in and day out to all our citizens on our system. I could not have accomplished this without the team that supports me, the resources that you provide us to do our jobs safely day in and day out, but just the boots on the ground that put in a good hard work of being a public servant and providing a public service every day. I tell them all the time, I wouldn't share if I didn't care. I also tell them all the time, I really care about each and every one of you, each and every day, going home to your families, unhurt, unscathed. I found out over the years my career is paved but your calling is made. I answered the phone call for being a safety professional back in 1998 and it's the best phone call I've ever made in my life. It changed my career. My mom and dad always told me, do something you love to do and you always love what you do. And that's what I love doing as a safety professional because it's about impacting people's lives. As a public servant, we impact lives every day. But as a safety professional, you impact lives not just with the worker, but beyond the worker, his family or her family. So with that being said, I just wanna thank everybody who has supported me on this journey. Winners never quit. Quitters never win. I'm just a spoke in the wheel among many spokes that help the safety culture that will turn each and every day. So thank you so much and I appreciate your support. Let's keep driving this train down the track. Yes sir. Mr. Mayor, I don't think we need to pass what all four of us are. I'm about to move to adjourn. I think we're done here. No, I will say this and Pam did it justice. Mrs. Benjamin did it justice. You can't go into a meeting with Demetrius if it's a little meeting or a big meeting, something bigger, small.  He's gonna make sure we check every box, cross every T, dot every I, and he's gonna leave you something just like he did. A whole bunch of nuggets with him. So appreciate your brother. All you do, you make us better. So thank you. Absolutely. All right. Mr. Mayor, I'm just gonna keep on this train. As he said, I've got a matter of personal privilege really quickly because it's we're overdue to do it. I wanna ask Ms. Melissa Smith Gentry to join me at the podium. She has no idea. Who is Melissa Smith? Melissa Smith Gentry. Ms. Missy Gentry, our assistant city manager for development. I would like her to join me at the podium. Missy, my colleague and dear friend, who is, I can't believe it, but you know, you start here at the city as babies. She celebrated 20 and still babies celebrating 25 years of service. Wow. September 27, 1993. And I know she likes a little bit of animal prints and bling. So we just had to honor her while she's here with us and thank her as she moves the needle forward every day for development and growth. She's so passionate about it in our city. Thank you, Missy. Thank you. And she will always give you the waterworks too. Don't, don't, we, we, you know, we love you, Missy. And Missy has a great misfortune of being right next door to me. So she gets everything first, just an amazing professional. We're thankful for you in your service. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Missy. We will now have the epilepsy awareness month proclamation by the honorable Mayor Stephen K. Dencherman. Thank you, Madam city manager. Whereas epilepsy is a central nervous system neurological disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness. And whereas epilepsy has several major symptoms including temporary confusion, a staring spell, uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs, loss of consciousness or awareness and psychic symptoms such as fear, anxiety or deja vu. And whereas there's, though there's presently no cure for this disease, medications are available to help manage the symptoms. And whereas research efforts continue to work to find the cause of impossible cure for epilepsy and are contributing to the development of improved treatment options that can help enhance quality of life for those affected by epilepsy until the day a cure is found. And whereas Hardy-Hands Foundation is the only organization in the state that works to be a catalyst for positive change and awareness of epilepsy driven by the ideals of support and empowerment and progress while holding strong to faith through advocating, educating and supporting. And whereas the city of Columbia recognizes the importance of heightening the community's awareness of epilepsy and the treatments available to those who needed. Now, therefore, Stephen K. Benjamin, mayor of the great city of Columbia, along with my fellow members of city council, do hereby proclaim November 2018 as Epilepsy Awareness Month in the city of Columbia and urge our fellow citizens to recognize and participate in its observance. Thank you. Who's here to receive this on behalf of Hardy-Hands? Okay, all right. Mayor Benjamin, Mr. Davis. Oh, yes, I'm sorry. Mr. Mayor, I'd just like to say that this is one recognition and award that the city, I think really stands above the rest when it comes to support and recognizing citizens with special needs. I think everybody knows my son has epilepsy and we know what the challenges are. And also that people with epilepsy are talented and they do have skills and that it's always important that we share with them but we also allow them to be themselves because they do have talents and they do have a lot to contribute. So I think this is one thing that the city should be proud of and as you all know also, it's kind of like a quiet, silent group of people who provide services and deserve recognition. So the best thing we can do. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Davis. Mr. Mayor, item 29, as you proclaimed in your state of the city address, so we are very happy to say we are checking this off of our box and on our box finally, the MyColumbia SC app launch. Mr. Clint Shealy, our assistant city manager for Columbia Water will come forward to help present this wonderful new application that we are going to launch tonight for the citizens of Columbia. I know Mr. Vine as you travel to NLC this week has been a big proponent of such an application so we're excited about it. Thank you, Ms. Wiltson Good evening, Mayor and Council. We are very excited to unveil the MyColumbia SC application. We've been working on this for quite some time and it is the next step in us becoming a smart city and improving our customer service for both our citizens and the customers that are outside the corporate limits that are served by our water and sewer system. The development of this application dovetails very nicely with our envisioned Columbia vision through empowering our residents and providing and leading the way in high quality and innovative municipal services. So there's some cards out in the entryway and information sheets and I just wanna run through quickly just a few highlights of the app. It's available for customers to communicate with us 24-7, 365. In addition and supplements are manned call center that's available for customers but if they see something that they wanna report an issue about or a service problem, they can do that. They can snap a picture. They can submit a service request. The application is also loaded on your iPads and ready for your use and it's ready for download and the iTunes Store and the Google Play Store. So you can also pay your bill through this application. You can search for city jobs. You can call our customer care center from that application as well. Access to frequently asked questions. A lot of information that's available on our website is also available through this mobile platform and they can access. Our customers can reach that. You can interface with our GIS system and locate where you are. Locate information about your council contacts. Contact information is there. So that is very helpful to folks and citizens as they're looking to interface with our elected officials and reporting a concern and that's the main thing. Just an easy way to report an issue. If a customer sees a pothole, they can snap a photo, upload that. They can use their location to track that, upload that to our customer care center without ever having to make that call. They can log in and create an ID and they can track their service request as we move forward. So this is quite an advancement in our response to our customers and we think it's really gonna enhance our customer service. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank our team that worked so hard to develop this application. Our program management team led by Missy Kaufman, Carmen Fleming and Tequila Wilson. Thank you very much for that. Our customer care team led by Angela Adams just really spearheaded this effort for us. Our CDPR team and our Columbia Water Communications team with our new manager Robert Yannity and Jennifer Satterthwaite in the back. I'd like to thank them, certainly the IT department, all the city departments that have supported us and given us the content that's loaded on this app. So we are very excited and we encourage our citizens to download the application either on the iTunes Store or the Google Play Store. Awesome, awesome. Thank you, thank you. I'm excited about it. No, this is exciting, exciting major step in our mission to become a truly smart city. So thank you all so much for your work on this. I was just gonna add, as Miss Wilson said, so I'll be leaving for National Legal Cities tomorrow. But on Saturday morning, I'm doing a presentation about what your budget says about your city's priorities and our amazing staff has put together some great PowerPoints. But I think Missy, we need to make sure we include this in there as well. All right. Love it. Moving into a period of ordinances, Mr. Mayor. Please. Okay. I'll let y'all. Thank you. All right. Item 30, ordinance number 2018-063, authorizing the city manager to execute a signed location lease between the city of Columbia and the Lamar companies for lease of 207 Gervais Street at Canal Street in Richland County. There will be a few edits or amendments. Mr. Duvall. Mr. Duvall. Okay. I'm on. Yes. Mr. Mayor, this is the lease for the billboard in the Congaree River, and I had some perfecting amendments I'd like to make, three perfecting amendments to the lease. On item number six, removing the last sentence. It's not necessary in this particular lease. Item number seven, assignment of the lease to some third party is not needed in this lease, and we're removing that sentence. And item number eight, striking it all, except the last part, dealing with a condemnation award for Lee C's property shall accrue to Lee C. These are minor amendments, and I would like to move for the adoption of the amendments in first reading of the ordinance. So moved. Motion by Mr. Duvall, seconded by Mr. Badura, and I think just for clarity's sake, Mr. Duvall, we're gonna have some discussion around no-disk requirements, and to discuss with Lamar, exactly. All of these have been agreed to by the law. Full meeting of the minds between now, and... It's a full meeting of the minds. We had a great compromise, and I appreciate them cooperating. All right. Move to the previous question, Kurt Caldero. Mr. Rickerman. Aye. Mr. Mcdowell. This is for first reading, is that correct? Yes. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mr. Badura. Aye. Mr. Vine. Aye. Mr. Davis. Aye. Mayor Benjamin. Item 31, ordinance number 2018-065, authorizing the city of Columbia, South Carolina, to execute and deliver an equipment lease purchase agreement in the amount of not exceeding eight million dollars between the city and the lessor thereof to defray the cost of acquiring certain equipment and other matters relating thereto. So moved. Second. Caldero. Mr. Rickerman. Aye. Mr. Mcdowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mr. Badura. Aye. Mr. Vine. Aye. Mr. Davis. Aye. Mayor Benjamin. Aye. Moving into a period of resolutions, item 32 resolution number R-2018-09-0, adopting a policy and criteria to consider the inclusion of real property and a multi-county industrial part to apply Richland County Special Source Revenue Credit incentive to real property within the corporate limits of the city of Columbia, developed for rental mixed income housing projects. Right. Is there a motion? So moved. So moved. Second. Second. All right. Moved in probably a second. Any discussion? This is an exciting move forward towards the provision of workforce housing, affordable housing and market rate housing in the city. Let's keep this train moving. Move to the previous question. Call her all. Mr. Rickerman. Aye. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mr. Badura. No. Mr. Vine. Aye. Mr. Davis. Aye. Mayor Benjamin. Aye. And Ms. Wilson, if I could just say, I want to thank staff for, I mean, I know we went through several iterations of this. We had some amazing public hearings with a lot of input from the community, from the business, from the builders. It was just wonderful. So I think Mr. Rickerman and his leadership on this committee, and I'm so excited that we've gotten this passed. So kudos to staff. Amen. Thank you, Mr. Bond. And the committee members. Item 33, resolution number R-2018-104, authorizing the city manager to execute a memorandum of understanding between the city of Columbia and the NCRC Housing Rehab Fund, LLC. So moved. So moved, Mr. McDowell. Second. Any discussion? With this question, part of Colorado. Mr. Rickerman. Aye. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mr. Badura. Aye. Mr. Vine. Aye. Mr. Davis. Aye.

All right, so moved. Moved approval. Moved. Moved by Mr. Duvall. Seconded by Mr. Davis and Mr. Badura. Any discussion? Seeing none, move the previous question. Court call the roll. Mr. Rickerman. Aye. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mr. Badura. Aye. Mr. Vine. Aye. Mr. Davis. Aye. Mayor Benjamin. Aye. Erica, how soon you need this? We can wait till the next meeting. We can wait till the next meeting. Can we digest it a little bit? Yes. All right, let's just, OK. Thank you. All right, there's no work session. Any committee reports or referrals? Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a recommendation for infrastructure committee, and I could be wrong on that. I am looking to maybe put a city to develop an app to give residents of the city time of the train crossing streets. So if somebody wants to go on Blossom Street and there's a train that's going to be delaying their route or whether they're going to class or work or pick up their kids, they have an app that tells them that the train is crossing Blossom Street. Study the proper plan. Refer to the committee. It's not part of the quiet zone, no. I thought it would be a good service app for residents to have so they can, and once again, this is a discussion for the committee or whether it's possible or not. Mr. Mayor, is there an existing app? It's not an existing. I couldn't find one. No, just asking Mr. Madura whether or not there was an existing app available. He says it's not. Daniel, myself, and the Howard first. I think it's me. That's fine. I mean, that's fine. We can talk about it. And we can look at, in the meantime, the other apps like Waze and others, and Research and see if maybe there's an ability to help promote another one or if we need our own. So yeah. Second. Mr. Rickerman. Hi. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Hi. Mr. Madura. Mr. Vine. Hi. Mr. Davis. Mayor Benjamin. Sure. What you got here? Raise your hands. You should raise your hand too, trainer. All right. Are you having fun yet? You're bored to death yet? Has it been relatively interesting so far? All right. This is a special night. Usually it's a lot more boring than this, OK? Hope you are enjoying yourself. And we really want to invite you to come back as often as possible, kind of see policy being made. As you can tell, some of the stuff is interesting. Some, you know, literally downright heroic. And some of it not as interesting. And even sometimes the most important things we do, we actually rush right through them on the consent agenda, significant expenditures of public funds, but things that we've discussed previously in committee staff has vetted them. So I encourage you, if you get bored sometimes, turn on Channel 2 on cable and watch us in action or just go to the website and kind of dig into whatever interest areas you might have. Mr. Bedour just sent an item. I know, of course, train issues are big issues for you guys. Maybe attend one of our committee meetings or see what we're talking about. We'll be talking about historic preservation issues and affordable housing issues. And obviously we have some of our unsheltered citizens who are here to speak tonight too, so before we wrap up. So there's always something to talk about.  So we want to make sure that we're being responsive to the things that are important to you. So thank you all for being here tonight. And you don't have to wait until it's a class assignment. Come hang out with us every other Tuesday. Students at the university. OK, all right. Anyone want to, where'd your professor go? That's on somewhere. And no one here? OK. All right, so you guys, all USC students? All USC students? From everywhere. From everywhere, yeah. I'm going to fight in Gamecocks. You familiar with it? All right. I hope you all voted today. And yes, if you haven't voted, you got five more minutes. Two minutes. But if you're in line by seven. And we have a couple of citizens who sound to speak. Mr. Regis Solis, three minutes. Sir? Good evening. Good evening. You're members of the City Council. I am Regi, Director of Needle Things that provides informational services to the homeless to help them survive being homeless, just as a reminder. And because Ms. Devine was not here last month, I'm also a board member of the Homeless Helping Homeless Homeless Advocacy Group. At United Way, I'm a steering committee member of the Mealshare Program and a member of the Midlands Area Consortium for the Homeless or MOC. I'm here again to hopefully see if we can come up with solutions to the way Columbia's homeless community is treated. Before I ask about them, I have one request to make of the mayor. December 21st is celebrated in other cities as National Homeless Persons Awareness Memorial Day. I ask that we proclaim this day as Homeless Persons Memorial Day here in Columbia. I have already had the support of the United Way of the Midlands as well as several churches and organizations who are trying to organize this event here. Both Charleston and Spartanburg as well as Atlanta and other major cities and capitals, I think it's 179 cities total, have celebrated this day. And what does it take to get this done here and come? I provide any other information on this. We'll get it done, Mrs. Ellis. Yes. Last time I asked for solutions to three items, I spoke to a gentleman about dealing with these problems, but have been told by efforts by a colleague to reach him have not been successful. The first item was about the inclement weather center and the mayor informed me that it was on the flood line. It was not considered a safe place to be. How can we find a safe place? Last time, I brought copies of two other items, news articles for each of you. I hope that Mr. Vine got her copy. I hope that you took the time to read them and have you come up with a way to deal with either of these situations. In the case of Boise, I still hear of Columbia police telling folks that they have to leave Findlay Park so they go to the post office and get woken between three and six and told it cannot be there. There is no place to go. In the case of Los Angeles versus LaVon, the personal possessions are to be considered unsupervised, not abandoned and therefore should not be seized and disposed of. Again, I still hear folks, stories of folks, personal belongings being taken and disposed of to realize what things are being thrown away, the personal items that I've listed last time, family possessions, your mother's broach, your father's watch that gets thrown away and you lose it forever. Columbia, again, in South Carolina have a reputation of being one of the last cities or states to accept any of these new policies. I'd like to see the state in which I live to be a leader in these topics, an example of two others that we care about, our fellow human beings. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Soles. Thank you. We have Mr. Allen Browning. I'm Allen Browning, one of the ministers that live in Water International Church. I came, excuse me, a couple of city council meetings ago and I did my demographics. Me and my wife started a charity, Hearts for the Homeless and Homeless Veteran several months ago, which we fund out our pockets. I like to be repetitious with those things because repetition is the key to learning. Myself was homeless four and a half years ago. We're not four and a half years, four and a half years. Eight years ago I went from being homeless to a business owner and a minister. And I'm starting a new business in January of 2019. I just want to say that because I want to give a person a perspective because we have the wrong perspective of what a homeless person is. There's people in that park that I came and I spoke on a few weeks ago and I haven't had any response. After 10 attempts of trying to call the liaison that I was given by the mayor, I haven't got one phone call back. Sorry to say that, but I had to make that known. I have ideas in representing the situation we have in the park. I have ideas. Mayor, you promised me a meeting to do more dialogue. I'm asking you again for that. I'm also asking for some of the funds of the city to be funded into some of my ideas once we can hash them out and I can give you guys my ideas. I have good ideas because I've been where these people are at. So again, I want to know how and last time I think I talked a little too much and I heard a little buzzer. First time ever in the city council I mean I like to apologize for it. I want to know how I can come and give you all my total format like these guys that came up and brought their situations to you guys. I want to know where I'm going to have more time while I'm going to be buzzed out so you guys can really hear me. I have a lot of great ideas.  Amen. Thank you, sir. So again, I want to give you guys a different, we have this Lord, how can I say this? We have a perception of what a homeless person is but there's a lot of people that's in that position that want to go to another level in life and I can't help everybody but the ones that I can help, I want to help and I'm asking you guys to help me help them. If there's any grant writers and here that would like to help me donate some time on teaching me how to write a grant so I can get funds for the said cause. Get with my wife here and give her your number if y'all will. If there's anybody here that know how to write grants or have a person that has a heart for God and a heart for people in this season of giving that want to help me, I really would accept your help. Thank you, guys. Thank you, thank you. And since we have all these young and impressionable minds in here, it's important that everyone knows that we do actually spend millions of dollars a year on, no, no, it's okay. You can walk away. We're gonna talk as soon as we're done. You can, you can, you can, yeah, you can have a seat. We spend millions of dollars a year working with United Way, working with transitions. Yes, funding the inclement weather shelter that, yes, is not the primary, the best location when we're talking about hurricanes and storms as we discussed at the last meeting. But every single day we are interfacing with several organizations that we work with on 67 organizations on meeting the needs of the homeless. So I don't want anyone to leave here thinking that we're not working closely with meeting the needs of the homeless. No, we're gonna talk. You're not gonna have a dialogue as soon as we're done. So we need as many soldiers on the battlefield helping to meet the needs of every citizen. Every citizen in this community has value. Every life has value. Whether you're sheltered or unsheltered. And we wanna make sure, also, obviously, thank you for the legal information you provide last time, Mr. Seles. We work to make sure that everything we do is not only constitutional, but also right and just and making sure that we do things. We live in a very different world now where unaccompanied packages obviously cause a great deal of public safety concern as well. Packages explode a number of different places around the country on a regular basis. So there are a number of different concerns that has to be played here. So we're gonna talk a little bit. As soon as the meeting's over, as I think you asked for more time on the agenda, all the presentations you saw earlier were actually city employees actually doing presentations. So unless you get a job here and you're presenting, you're probably not gonna do a full presentation at any point. But we certainly will have time to discuss things. We're gonna do it right now, all right? So we won't have Groundhog Day. Next meeting again. If there's no other citizens who sound to speak, we're gonna have a non-debatable motion to adjourn and me and the minister in Mississippi is gonna have a dialogue. Moved by Mr. Davis. Seconded by Mr. McDowell. Moved to the previous question. Call the roll. Mr. Rickerman. Mr. McDowell. Mr. DuVall. Hi. Mr. Badura. Hi. Mr. Vines. Mr. Davis. Mr. Benjamin. You all have a good evening.
