Well, good morning, and welcome to the no spend vlog. Today things are different. Today's Friday. Jody from Life's Organized Chaos was supposed to come over and hang out today, but her plans changed for work because like, we normally like to coordinate it around her work schedule because she works closer to where I live once in a while. She travels for work kind of. So anyway, plans changed. So I'm gonna see her next week, which means I have a day of fun ahead. So breakfast is, I found some Honey Nut Cheerios in my pantry. So that's what I'm having for breakfast. I cannot tell you the last time I had cereal for breakfast. I was trying to get my like April monthly view going, but I'm coming to realize that like I have no plans. So the question is, should I still film a video about it, even though there's not really much to my April month view? I don't, I don't know. Would that be interesting still? I might still just film it and then obviously like no one needs to watch it, of course. It is the morning time. I just started my laundry for the day. It's Friday, so I like to do my laundry on Fridays, but I need to get my vlog edited from yesterday. I have not done that yet. So I think I'm gonna do that this morning while I eat materials and do that. I'm gonna do some other things that will remain anonymous because you guys don't need to know everything. I mean, you guys need to know some things, but like not all the things, right? I also got to see my grandma yesterday, which you guys saw. So I'm gonna call my mom and let her know like what's going on how the visit went and all of that. So yeah, that's the plan. So anyway, I will check in with you guys when more exciting things start to happen besides my delicious Cheerios. Well, hi, it's lunchtime. It's about 2 o'clock. It's a little later. I've been working on projects all day. Just got done taking Doyle Doodle up for a walk. Also, while I've been doing projects, I've been watching to slash listening to Schitt's Creek. So it's a show that is streaming on Netflix. I don't think it's like a Netflix exclusive show. It might be. I don't really know. But yeah, so I'm going to take a little break and have some hamburger helper. Yay. So I'm going to have some of this and I'm going to have a Coke as well. I'm going to go for a can today. This is all the Coke I have left. And I do have some like a 12-pack of ginger ale too. So I'll probably have to bust into that as well and see if that helps. But I do like to have a little bit of caffeine. The tea that I drink is not caffeinated by the way. I did have a cup of tea. I don't think I told you guys that, but I did have a cup of tea this morning. Just one cup.  You can't see him. He's right here. I'm watching you, sir. Right there. Right there. This dog. I swear he's highly mood. Mood. He's highly food motivated doggo. So yeah, but I'm going to have my leftovers. Get that going. Go back to my projects. I do have a video to edit, which is my Etsy haul that has mostly stickers, but some washi as well. I had purchased all of that right before my position was eliminated at my old job. So I couldn't really cancel my orders, but I figured I'd share the share the bounty with you guys. You could see what I ordered and I kind of go into why I ordered certain things. You know, like obviously like an event sticker is like an event sticker, but some of the other things I go into a little bit of like, you know, why I ordered it and whatever. But that's what's happening here. Not much going on at the moment. Just doing projects. So I wish I could tell you guys a little bit more about the projects, but again soon, soon, I'm excited and I'm nervous about it. And I don't like keeping seat.  You guys like I'm the worst, but I wasn't going to divulge what it was to Jodi today, but she's not here. So Jodi, if you're watching, you missed out girl, you missed out. I was going to show you my big secret or like what I've been working on. So I could get her two cents of it. So anyways, but I am going to say goodbye for right this moment because my food's ready now. And I will see you guys in a little while when something more interesting happens or it's a dinner time because I've got more hamburger helper to eat, but I think I think one meal is good enough for the day, you know? So anyways, I will see you guys in just a little while. Okay. So it is dinner time. I have been doing stuff online and doing my other projects all day today. It is about 6 30.  Yeah, I know it's weird, but it's delicious. And I absolutely love tomatoes. Um, not really that hungry, hungry. I'm just going to have a tomato. I like to have mine with a little bit of like crack sea salt online. I don't know. That's just how I do it. And a lot of people that eat just like straight tomatoes like it with like salt or sugar. I'm a salt person and I find it delicious. I don't think I'm going to eat anything else today. I'm just like not that hungry. So let me show you what Doyle's up to. Oh, I finished the laundry by the way. I don't even know if I told you guys that I was doing laundry, but let's go find Doyle. I see him. Oh my. Here, we'll turn the crickets off. What's up doodle? I washed them of the bedding today too.  Don't you bet? Mm-hmm.  He redecorates all the time. What are you doing, kiddo? What's going on, buddy? Oh goodness. He's so judgmental, sir. So yeah, that's what's happening at my house. Not really doing much today, you guys. I'm just not really doing much. Wish I could like report something interesting happening. Today is just an uninteresting kind of a day. I think I'm going to close it out here. If anything else exciting happens, I'll open the vlog back up for the day. But pretty sure it won't because I'm just going to keep working on my projects and eat the rest of my tomato here. I'm going to have some water for dinner as well. I know it's a really odd dinner, but I really, I really love tomatoes. So yeah, but I'm going to say goodbye for now. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will be back with more fun content and another vlog tomorrow. So hope you guys are having a great day and I will see you guys later. Bye, guys.


Auzbillaah min ash-shaytana rajim, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Hello viewers, we are going to talk about self-management in a self-organization. It's very important to talk that self-organization is a capacity of a person to organize sort of variables. Like time management is very important and we see over schedule how we do accommodate different tasks in a different time and the duration of that time to be established. To settle the schedule, to execute it, to act on it is very important for the self-organization. We to organize our potential, basically. And we are also organizing our abilities. It's important to use it so that we are organizing ourselves and we are using our abilities and potential as much as possible. And we are taking full advantage of it. And this is related to our self-management and self-organization. And then it is that overall the life we enjoy these bantiz of Allah SWT. And we will see that overall the life we organize our self. And there are sort of skills, three type of skills which are being established during the self-organization. Number one is managing time and task. It's a skill. It's not so simple. When we are to manage our time and also the coordination with the task. Meaning to understand the task, to know its nature, to act on it, to keep its effectiveness in front of it and to manage time. This one is a skill. And we do establish it for our own self-organization. The biggest thing is efficiency. And we do things with efficient task. And we are to perform according to the schedule. And its performance should be according to the level or standard we are maintaining in our mind. Similarly, we keep some things in mind in the task. The first thing is what is the nature of the task, what is its duration and how much time is required to perform it. And then we keep productivity in mind. It should be useful. Just performing tasks is not enough. It should be useful for the consumers. And the second thing is learning new things. This is also a big skill that we have to establish. And if we evaluate ourselves in this. We monitor things, we see things and we compare them. It is very easy for us to be able to add in it. It should include new things that should be our profession and productivity. That should be a useful source for the students. And we can perform it. Another important thing is that when we are going through the task completion. We have to see that we are to enable our students. Rather, in their own circumstances and environment, how they can complete their task. And we will see here that how they can motivate themselves. They can give themselves motivation in task completion. And then they can develop skills or other skills. It is very important that they are motivated. And for motivation, it is very necessary. They keep an eye on the completion of the task. Completion is one of the source of motivation. And then it is that we can be able to develop it. And the third thing that is necessary is to expand the network. We do not have to be fixed on a set-up. Rather, we teach the students that you are able to expand your network. You should also choose those abilities for other tasks. For example, you have your personality, social tasks, relationships, performance.  And in this, we also see that we have to keep on expanding it. We just not to stuck ourself that we have completed a task and we are repeating it. Again and again doing the same thing. No, we are to expand it according to the potential, according to the need. Keeping in view that we must be following the creativity, one of the characteristics of good self-management.


And a very good evening, rather to you guys. Welcome to Entertainment Thursday right here on Y254 TV. My name is Philly and you can catch me across all social media platforms at Philly and the gym. Define us on DSTV now, guys, at channel 376. Get on the hashtag Y254 Updates. But before we get to our stories tonight, let's meet my panelists. Starting with the MCK, our very own superstar. So behind the scenes, it's MCK, my voice is kind of shaky today, but toji in DSTV so that's the language we're representing there, no? They have to know. All right, and after we see, OK, we have Jeanette. What's up? Gino, I'm Jeanette, a solo. Facebook, Twitter, Killa MahaliHRH, Jeanette Michaels. All right. learn the noisemaker of the group. Dear parents, teachers, students, adjudicators, call me the only general of Fulimboco. Sit down, relax, and enjoy. All right. And our Italian babe, huh? What's up? What's up, y'all? It's been a while, but anyway, we're good. Yeah, welcome to the show. We have lots of stuff to discuss. So sit down, relax, and enjoy, just like Kafulu has said. Who said you're number six, Stevie? Man, South Africa, we're representing. Yeah, I'm telling you. Say no, Duke, it's all in there, OK? All right, so, guys, let's jump in on to our first story. And you need to talk about entertainment. And it's not entertainment without Madam Boss. I'm talking about Akute herself. Now, controversial Kenyan artist, Akute, has slammed the media stations for reaching out and offering her interviews due to her recent scandals. Akute didn't mention any media house by name, but she accused them of wanting to ride on her wave. Yet they don't call her when she releases new music or even play her music frequently. Akute says, OK, this comes rather just days after the singer received a lot of backlash following her attire and performance at Albebo Music Festival at the cost. Any media station trying to call me right now, what are you calling me to come and do? What do I owe you? To answer questions I didn't ask. Akute, hey, can you answer this? Can you answer that? Am I the only one who asks the questions? Do the question belong to me? Listen, don't distract me on a Wednesday. I'm busy running around, securing the lives of my parents. I don't want to be begging people for pay bills. Then you start saying, hey, but we thought she was rich. But we thought she was rich. You know, the parents are stuck in the hospital. Leave me alone. Listen, you are calling me to come to your shows. I will come and open up anything. I've told you, I am not a role model to anyone. Even my children can only pick what they want to pick for me.  Hello? You are desperate for me right now, calling me left and right. Do you even call me when I release songs? Do you even talk about my shows?  Leave me alone before I, yeah, you don't know me. Play my music, Ababo.  And I'll complain. All these media stations. And at Angoma, there is an interview. So right now, people are trending. What do you want to mean? Society, how do you call them? You want ratings using her name. And you say, she's not coming to your shows. You don't even play her music. But you should play her music instead of wanting her to come and talk about how she's not a good role model. I'm going to start with a lady. Is Akutee a good role model? Not at all. First of all, the stance she was pulling, I think Ameshaku is old in the game. She has nothing fresh to offer this current generation. So in this stance, she's not chill out and her reporter is a broom. She's only got a burn, a mother-in-law. I think you should style up, work on your music, work on your lyrics, and you'll shoot for, she has the money, she has the marketing skills, she has the capability. She should put that into use rather than cheap stance, honestly. I'm really socialized to a major, to an ender-tint. I'm going to tell you, I have a burn. It's like bleaching agents. So, style up, work on your music, I'll be able to work on that. But is it cheap stance or not? No, but how come when Beyonce does it, it's okay? But now, Akutee does it and it's a problem. This is Africa. There's a difference. This is Africa. Africa is bad. It's too Africa. Alright, so, how for you?  This is the challenge. So, I'm going to come back a challenge. I'm going to tell you, Akutee has set. I can do the tenor. That's the problem. Akutee... And it's them all who... Okay, so, that is for... Please talk about the stop-dramas and they lose. That is from 10 p.m. when they learn. Anyway, Jeanette, do you agree with Akutee? Like, okay, Esther Pasaris actually came to her rescue. She said that women should be left alone. What is wrong with people? Why are you slamming women?  Okay, Jeanette. So, Jeanette. You're the president of My Dress, My Choice. Yes. But, okay, I personally see beef and that, but, your dress code is wrong. Maybe it's a radio interview, but I'm on TV, I don't go. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. Let's have a look at the question. What is your vision of being a woman? What do you think of the noise of V2? Because you're not allowed to talk in high school and do your kids. No, but half of you, aren't you supposed to show your kids what they're supposed to be like? Why are you looking at celebrities to be your kids role models? But, check it out. What is it, as parents? Is it like, is it the celebrity's part to raise your kids? Aren't you supposed to raise your own kids? What is it like to look up to celebrities to raise your kids? Why? Are you letting your kids watch things you don't want them to watch? If you don't want them to watch, you're going to see them on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I'm on TV. I don't agree with you, but that's just me.  You can't... Absentee parents. Yeah. Yes. So, you let the TV raise your kids. Not really, but you know, you will never know when they start watching those things, actually. Yeah. So, you should be able to monitor your kids. I don't think... Because the internet... You're not going to blame Okwatha. I think the internet is very broad. There's everything on the internet now. Kids can be able to Google and download anything. You know, there's one reason what we can say to concentrate. Our parents did their part. You know what I'm talking about? I'm just saying. You get. Say, personally, my kids sister is on a tab. I got you when I was in Form 2. Form 2 is not a good thing. You have to have a chance to see what's going on. So, parents were doing their part. You know what I'm talking about? Because there's no doubt that she's going to say, oh, why did she do that? What's wrong with her? Come on and come back. I'm just blocking you from such content. These are different... No, Mike, use the mic. All right. Yes. Sorry about that. Because it's okay. Because you have an influence. That's the difference between Mutoakawida and a man-eat person. Because power comes with it. And the moment you have power, you have influence over the masses. That's what Akwede has. No, but... She knows it, but she uses it wrongly. No, so let's do this. Let's ask the guys at home to come through and let us know is Akwede doing the right thing?  What do you think? Is she being herself? Or should she do better? Get on the hashtag White2fair4Updates, at White2fair4Channel, that is our Twitter handle. And on that note, we move on to our next story. Now, a viral video recently surfaced online showing two young men smoking what looked like bang. Though that's not what caught the attention of many, but the fact that they were sharing the weed with a very young kid. This sparked a lot of anger with KOT and they tagged the Director of Criminal Investigations, hoping to get justice for the young kid. And since then, the DCI has called upon the public to share and repost the video until they find the offenders. We have a video. Mm-mm. Right. So that is the video that has gone viral and has gotten the DCI actually included.  They need to talk to them. They actually say, talk. So I'm going to talk to them. I'm going to talk to them. I'm going to talk to them. A typical example of all of these starts at home, not social media. But I don't think it's going to be a news of disorder. You get it. And what if one of the guys is the father? I don't think so. Would you be that crapped up? I don't think so. I don't think it's going to be a bank. I don't think it's going to be a bank. Anyway, it's 2019. Things have changed, haven't they? Hey, Basi, what do you want me to do? I don't want Basi to have a mental issue. I don't want Basi to see what's going on. I'm going to tell myself that they need to be talked to. Like, how do you even feel comfortable giving a kid? And I'm going to ask my father to say, bro, why? How? OK, maybe. Just a minute. You'll have to use the mic. Yeah, you'll have to use the mic. Maybe, Aliona, I don't know if it's going to be for me or for other people in the Gonga kitchen. So maybe, Aliona, I'm going to ask you. Oh. I'm going to ask you to pass. So I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. But, Aliona... No, Aliona, that kid was coughing. It's bad for his lungs. He's a very young kid. No, I actually think he's a hero. He should be celebrated because maybe I have a greener idea. These people smoking. So I catch a video and I expose so that they know what's happening at home. So you're going to tell me to expose you to the dead? So, Adam, I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. Janet, help me. I'm going to ask you to pass. I do not record TV. We'll beat you up. Yes. Who are you? Why are you recording me?  I'm going to ask you to pass. Because I'm a cameraman. Alright, let's do this, Janet. Yes. This is where parents go wrong. Because let us assume that is the dad. One of the guys is the dad. Do you see? The other time, while you legalize to rear grade, school, etc. By the way, just a minute. The kid has drained up. There's a place... Actually, he's hired the kid. I'll call him Uncle Sheikah. So that means, it's probably the... Either the sisters or the brothers are kid. Yeah. I'm a neighbour. So I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. Yes, I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. Some cultures need to be demolished completely. Yeah. Yeah. That is not a good thing. Junelle. Yes. Very sad. I'm going to ask you to pass. What's the first thing you do? God forbid. I'm going to ask you to pass. But my friend... I'm going to ask you to pass. I'm going to ask you to pass. That is sad. Junelle, I'm going to ask you to pass. You're shaping her mentally. Yeah, exactly. The moment you pass, what's the point of being a baby? Oh, baby, sorry. Pass. Yeah. Exactly. And remember they say weed is actually addictive. So imagine a kid like that addicted or more hooked to it. You set up a house in a hostel. And you call the boys. You have a session and they laugh at you. You're going back and forth. You're going back and forth. Oh, my friend, I want to ask you to pass. What do you do? Yeah, you're going back and forth. But the moment you pass, what's the point of being addicted to it? And I'm going to ask you to pass. But the moment you pass, what's the point of being addicted to it? Come on. Come on. Come on. You guys. I'm going to ask you to pass. I've been waiting for a long time to study that video. He's so over. The thing is... I'm going to ask you to pass. You're going to ask me to pass. Who is it? We move on to an amazing story. I actually like this one. Amalawian woman has caught the attention of many online after a video of her juggling football went viral. The video was first uploaded by Akinsoya on Twitter, which he quoted, talent is evenly distributed but opportunity isn't. US President Donald Trump liked the video so much that he reposted it on his Twitter handle with a caption, amazing. Hey MCK, can you do that? I can't. As much as I'm really good at football by the way, but I can't do that. But this shows us a lot about what our country personally is doing about and most of these third world countries are doing concerning their sport. That's why the person who put the video actually quoted Akinsoya. Talent is distributed evenly, but opportunity isn't. That means we have a lot of African talent, but there is an opportunity. There is a place where there is a showcase. Atonight of platforms, corruption has been too much in our country. What I want to say is that talent is sad. Jeanette, do you think now that Trump saw the video, she'll do something for her? I think if he's in the right mind, he will do something. But we all know Trump when you react. So it's 50-50.  What a man can do, a woman can do. He will do something, but we all know Trump when you react. So, it's 50-50.  What a man can do, a woman can do. Pallamu Furtado, Mukokoteni. I love you. Let me tell you one thing.   I ran out his appreciating our talent. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Materials. But sometimes I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There is a name. There is a name. night. There is a name. There is a name. there is a name. There is a planet. There is a name. There is a place. You are not going to call. Cuz somebody existing a night. Which I trust. Are also curious. That's my intention. You know ladies are shy by nature. By the way, she's using that. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. I'm not serious. What if it's the only way you get an exclusive interview? Personally, I think that's why I'm not a journalist. But I think the guy, the guy as much as he was, he was that ambitious. I don't know, he's gone viral. Kenya knows about him. But in Nivibai because people are just saying a journalist. We actually, most people are not talking about him. We're just talking about what he did. But I feel like it spread a lot of buzz around him. But I'm sure. I'm sure there's some recognition. I am just sure. He was too tall. He was to tall. We understand the kind of dictatorship in Uganda. Democracy is not up to that level. If you have power, you will get what you want. Like you'll get what you want. I think that's how it is. We know that he's running again. Come 2021, he's running again. I'm not serious. What do you think of the interview? I think the two of us are the ones who are going to marry me. My father and I are the ones who are going to marry me. My friend, you guys dance. What did I say? If you have a proposal and you want to go to the police, you can go to the police. You can go straight to the police and go to the police. In practice? Yes. In my opinion, I think the journalists are going to be out of bootleaking, if they can call it that way. It is not demeaning according to... Yes, I think it's more out of respect and humility. Would you kneel down, since you're saying it's humility? Would you kneel down yourself to secure it? No, I wouldn't. But for him, according to them... Because... You have to use the microphone? Because there is no way that we can place our kids here. There is no way that we can place the kid here, because if they want to... Have you forgotten the microphone? I told you not to do that. If we do, my mother will become an interviewer and I will become a journalist. But you have to give it a bit of credit. According to the place where my kids live. According to the place where I live. There. Another thing also, come on and check it while you're at podium.  I think it's more out of... I think it's more out of... It's more out of respect.  Oh, her excellency, I'm sorry. It's the same case. It's out of respect. And sort of checking how the situation will turn out.  I think it's a big deal, by the way. Alright. Guys. I think it's the same case.    So, it's called Mr. President, Story Mission. Right. It's because I respect Junel. Junel. It's because I respect... to whom. Which means that guy never goes for interviews. So, that was the only opportunity. Hey, he doesn't. But, still. he doesn't, I say virus. He on the other hand has a president and you should respect people. Say you represent yours. You show me conf留 aerobics. So anyway. Anyway, troubles. They didn't even tell us what they were talking about. We expect you toドー and then... Alright, so, we're talking about... No, let's do this, let's be happy. How about the guys at home contribute? What's our home tour to MBA? Would you need to secure an interview? Hashtag Y244 Updates.

I'm Adfeline Jean, and this is Entertainment Thursday. Now, let's continue with our stories now.  Now, we have Khloe Kardashian and her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, have reportedly split after she found out he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods. According to TMZ, Khloe and Tristan have broken up after Tristan and Jordyn were all over each other at a house party at the weekend. They added that Khloe found out on Monday and broke up with him immediately.  Tristan, however, tweeted and deleted fake news and it's still not clear if the allegations are true. I'm sitting with the ladies. What's wrong with the ladies? Why would you do that?  If we've been friends with you for more than seven years, we're not friends, you are now family. So this chick has been friends with Kylie Jenner for more than 10 years, since she was a total Addisai. In fact, she was actually in Kylie's reality show, Life of Kylie, right? And right now, I'm in the kitchen with my friend, my sister, when she was a total... Junelle. Yes. How awful is that? It's very bad. First of all, I think Madem is respecting boundaries and girl code. Boy code? I think boy code. I want to call her bro code. Bro code. Madem. I don't know if it's true or not. The next thing you know, your friend is... Why? That is wrong. By the way, I feel her and especially... Khloe. I think they have a kid together. They have a baby who's very young actually. Very sad. But for the Kardashians, that's not a surprise.  Who are you? I'm just... Do you think... Kylie, Rapa... Do you think they are doing this to get their numbers up? To get ratings? I don't think so. When it comes to Khloe, Khloe somehow has a lot of attention on her sister. Yeah. So something to do with heartbreak and the man you loved, and in fact, Aliyah, very sad. I feel her pain. But anyway, for your day, I trust her. I don't know if I'm going to cry or not. No, but it is said Khloe has done that in the past. Maybe it's because of Madem. Karma. Karma. All right, Jeanette, would you do that? Have you ever done that? In fact, that's your question. She is very happy. She is happy. Personally, she is very happy. She is happy. I'm happy because she is watching TV. She is happy. Sama, do you think South Africa is scary? Sama!  She has. And last night, maybe I didn't know but I don't think so. Sama, I don't think so. I'm going to be like that. I'm going to be like that. I'm going to be like that. I'm going to be like that. I don't think so. I wouldn't love a close friend to do such a thing to me. But Nezambia took her, moved on. And... What if your friend did that to you? And you've been friends since childhood. Are you dropping her for the sake of the man? Or are you staying friends because you love her? It will depend now on the side of the story. I will have to listen to both sides. But still, she doesn't come to Betray as a friend. But still, ladies, if you put them too close, they might do that. So this is what happened. Jody and guys were telling her, you had one job. One job. You don't have to work a day in your life. All you have to do is ride on Kardashians, fame and money. You don't have to work. A lot of you, Kariaku is done because he's done. You know the Kardashian family, Mama Ondara, and they're like, she has a lot of connections with everybody. So guys were like, you mess with a Kardashian, you'll never work anywhere. You're not allowed to work. Do you think that was a smart move? I don't think so, but I think to my demo, I understand that you're not allowed to work. I have four sisters. What I've learned with women, what I've learned with women, you guys are normally in a way that you're not allowed to show. You're just waiting for the right opportunity to like, you know, fit in those shoes you feel, you're not allowed to work. And I think my advice to ladies before we go to half loo, I think like, when you have your mind, don't share everything. Exactly. That was my next point.  Plus they're sharing everything, so they share the money. So she knows everything about you. Uh-huh. Half loo. Yeah. but now the problem is you are allowing yourself to be lied to when he's cheating on the baby mama has cheated on Chloe while she was pregnant with like three other different women. I love for you. Therefore, at least cheat with someone who will be there for you. Because she's not cheating on her to wengie. It's not cheating on them to my end up to watch about it. If Chloe is to blame, probably later in the day we come to visit your home, they're all mashing all over each other. One of the moments, I don't mean to come to your home and tell you to come to my home. It's not an opportunity. I'm going to talk to you later. It's not about Peter and I, my friends. It's not about Peter and I. It's not about you. Yes. Hey, you ladies just keep your relationship to yourself. No, don't keep it to yourself. Share out. All right, so I'm told we have the stories, but we are unfortunately out of time. But just before we go, we have this story, a help. I mean, what is happening? Apparently, we have a lot of help. What are your comments? Just 30 seconds each, no pain in social media handles as we wrap up. I think I know some of your help and students is the wrong one. You take help to do some funny, funny stuff, not to actually help you in your studies. Yes. So I'm like, ah, you do what I can to help you in your studies. And I get because you never did anything constructive about it. Right. Anyway, you're last wise in your social media. But keep your relationships to yourself. You're not dating. You're dating my friend, you're dating both of us. You will end up where Kylie is. MCK official. Cleo. All right, so, cool. Jeanette. Hey, I used to be a help. But thank God I didn't. So my, I feel two problems. And then, so I guess Gava, it's a youth's job with jobs. They will pay the help. Right. Because it's a little bit of help. Some of those needy guys. You saw, there's a guy I saw on TV. I don't know, but he has no job. So it's a little bit of help. So they should consider that jobs totally for help. There was a lot of help. Yes. OK. How do you? Jeanette H.R.H. Jeanette Michaels on social media. All right. How do you agree with the government? I love we have Juniel. Yes. Hi, how do you agree with the government? Juniel is a great person now. For me, personally, the help I get from them is when I'm with someone, I get a lot of help. I get a lot of help from them from first year to fourth year. They've graduated. Oh, sorry, courtesy of help. It's OK, it's OK. I think the government should also give chances to graduates. We have a lot of jobs, honestly. We have a lot of history. After one year, we have a lot of money. We have a lot of money, like four years. We have a lot of jobs, but we have a lot of side hustle. Exactly, we have a lot of fame. Yes, so Juniel Biatura Giovanni across all my social media platforms. See you again next time. It's been real. All right. I will shout out to everybody who tuned in. Team Chinyama, this is Ata Nini. We appreciate you, those who never tweet. Whoever say anything, we appreciate all of you. I'm at Philly and Jun. Do find me across all social media platforms. You are at Y-254 channel.  This video will be uploaded on YouTube. Just check us out at Y-254 channel. And we'll have more stories for you next week. But at about now, we have to wrap it up and finish this up next with Karin Jisa and Mai Gitahi. Until then, do have a nice weekend and good night.


Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We go five days a week, we go seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at tfnn.com. Always remember folks, what do you think about? You bring about whatever. You focus on growth, hope everyone's having a great day, safe day, let's make it a great night folks. Surrender and let go of the past. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means that you're going to enjoy the dream that is happening right here, right now. Market-wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industrial's down 121. Nasdaq's up 35, S&P's down three and a half. Gold contract trading up $11.10 at 17.59 notes. We had Silver up eight cents, $19.06 an ounce. Light sweet crude up $3.23 cents, $93.62 cents. A barrel, notes and bonds. A 10-year note right now trading down two ticks at a price point of $1.1721, the 30-year off 12 at $137.17. 10-year right now folks, 3.04%. So it's right in the middle for the last three months. You know, we had a low of 2.5, middle where we are now is 3.04, high 3.4. King dollar, King dollar's the number out here. Once again, King dollar's down 448 ticks. 108, 596, euros at 99 to one U.S. dollar. Yen is out here at 135, 136 to one U.S. dollar and the British pound is at 118 to one U.S. dollar. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call folks. One note's going on in your world and the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at it. What do you have? Well, as I said in this update, this is gonna be a real tricky one. This is why. So you take a look at it, right? The first leg, you know, bottom line wants to fill this gap. So we filled the gap. The gap on the spy 412.75, okay? Bottom line, you're at 413.20. That being said, bottom line is that you came down hard yesterday, 77 million shares. Now, we did get to a lower load today because we went to 411.77 and you have volume contracting so you can look at that and say, okay man, you know, you're coming into some heavy support, you know, because we had traded this seven days across. That would be the bullish position. The bearish position would be, oh man, he's setting up an ABC down. And when you do, the numbers are setting this ABC down. You come right to, which would be the 50% retracement of the whole move higher.  That's where we really stop breaking topside. That's on your S&P. We take a look at the NDX 100. What do you have with the NDX 100? Same type of setup inside the NDX. What do you have with the NDX? No, actually, this is gonna get interesting. This is where this close is gonna come in. See that, okay, so yesterday the Qs, Qs get down to 313.53, 51 million shares traded, right? We got to, one second. 313.53, yes, so the low is yesterday. 313.33 is the low of today. Now that's showing that there's no more sellers there.  So, I'll give you my take right at the close because this is gonna get that wild, folks, because I'm gonna try to figure out which way I'm gonna go here. It's that crazy. And this doesn't happen a lot. Let me tell you something, it just doesn't. Most of the time, doesn't mean I'm right. I'm saying I have an opinion and you just go with it when I'm trading. This one here is really a trippy one because it's like, okay, am I gonna flip positions here? What am I gonna do?  You wake up in the morning, one way or the other, you're up or down a couple hundred NDX points, so. And it's contingent on this U.S. dollar. And so the dollar's trying to claw its way back right now. Gold, gold contract. We take a look at the gold contract. What do we have at the gold contract right now? Bottom line, you are up 11 bucks. You get 137,000 contracts. It's not bad, it's not great. It's better than going down. That's the bottom line. You know, bottom line, we did 134,000 yesterday. Now that 134 was going into 193. So we'll see whether it can get followed through. And the way this is encouraging, this is actually encouraging. And when I say encouraging folks, I'm not talking about just the whole gold market, because when you look at the markets, this is what's so cool. So I've done the gold report now like 21 years or something. And I think it's 22 years actually. But anyway, what happens is that the way, particularly these markets are moving right now because of the interest rate structure, to me, gold, dollar, interest rates, and I like, you know, NDX 100 and the S&P. If you can kind of coordinate those and whatever your opinion is that they're going in harmony with each other, your probability of being right goes dramatically higher. That's, so that's kind of what you're hearing off me out here, you know. And bonds, we go over the bonds, so check this out. We take a look at the bond market. What you have here is that the sign of strength, it was by at this morning, but I believe what just happened is that it rejected that sign of strength. So the sign of strength is right here on the 10. That's 117, 14. Yeah, see, this is sick. So it went exactly to 117, 14. And you're at 117, 21. Now, the same as situations there, it's like, okay, man, big deal. You know, you rejected it, but you don't have any gusto behind it, okay? So, we'll see where it's going to shake out, man. Some of the higher volume equities, there's going to be a low volume day out here today. Actually, let me go into the composite for a second. I want to look at this composite. Because what did happen is yesterday, we were talking about the volume, right? And the volume was lighter yesterday. Yeah, see, it's going to be lighter today, too. This is actually pretty good. Because you got below the low of yesterday. Low of yesterday was five, no, 353. We got to 352 today. Some of the higher volume equities out here in this low volume day, we got, come on, where are you? Whoops, there we go. You got Apple up 17 cents, Zoom's down 15 bucks, well, that's just amazing. Tesla's up $23. You got Pindal doors up 265. Let's see, what else is moving out here? Microchip technology is up a buck and a half. Stay right there, folks, to come back with our mammoth, the Basil Chapman. iPhone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. We have the Dow. Dow Industrial's right now trading down 125. Nasdaq is up 34. S&P's down three and a half. We'll come right back.


the short-term rental committee will come to order madam clerk if you reflect the three committee members are present and accounted for yes sir we will begin our meeting I want to thank both the neighborhoods and the short-term rental industry for their input over the last few months we've been working on this for a year now and we I think we've come up with something that's ready for prime time it will be tweaked here there in yonder as it goes through the rest of the council you got three of us sitting here but they're four of us four of them that have not participated in these discussions and I'm sure some of them will have some opinions also but I think the ordinance is a good ordinance now and our attorney James Knox who has worked with us tirelessly over the last few months is going to take the podium James and go through the ordinance to explain where we are thank you mr. Chairman and before I get started we'll make sure everybody's got the most recent version of this ordinance so you should have a draft 12.7.22 I don't know if you don't and interest of time I'm gonna try to get this through this fairly quickly if I go too quick please slow me down and at any point if you got questions please ask so starting with 5-400 the scope of this article this section makes it clear this ordinance only applies to short-term rentals that are occupied for less than 30 days makes it clear that this ordinance will not apply to hotels motels bed and breakfasts or ends it also does not apply to rentals that are rendered for 30 days or more section 5-401 is the definition section the interest of time I'm not gonna go through each definition please let me know if you have any questions on those I would point out though for owner occupied because that does come into play later owner occupied is defined as a dwelling unit that is lawfully classified as owner occupied by the county and receiving the 4% special assessment ratio alright section 5-402 and these are the actual regulations that we have imposed on short-term rentals starting with subsection a an advertisement of an str essentially is sufficient enough to determine that is being offered by as an str subsection b provides that a business license would be required to operate str in the city subsection c code of compliance requirements essentially is just saying that if you're going to operate str in the city you have to comply with any and all ordinances at all times and then it kind of emphasizes the big six James yes sir point right there the representatives from the str industry wanted this ordinance to closely parallel the rental ordinance we passed five years ago now I reckon maybe six years ago and we have done that and this is one of the sections that we previously had some enumerated specific items to check and then we went back and put in the regulations there because that's the way it's done in the bigger rental ordinance long-term rental that's correct yes sir a subsection d is the insurance general liability insurance requirement in order to operate str in the city you have to maintain a policy limit of at least one million dollars per occurrence subsection e safety inspection that really just says the city if deemed necessary can go inspect the str provided they give the owner or the local representative of the owner 24 hours notice subsection f would impose certain record keeping requirement on the owner for a period two years including the name and phone number of each short-term guest that booked the short term for the previous two years subsection g would require the property owner his designee to take phone calls at any given time with any issues that may arise with str subsection a provides that permits are non transferable in the event somebody sells an str property and the new owner wants to operate it as a str they'd have to get a new permit minimum guest age would be 21 for the person making the actual booking minimum stay duration would be at least one night subsection k would require the permit number that's issued by the city to be included in the online advertisement subsection l is a requirement for certain information to be provided to the guests who stayed a short-term rental that would include emergency contact information the name and content information of the owner or local representative instructions or a diagram of a parking plan and any additional house rules opposed on the guest subsection m imposes the parking space requirements which is one space for every two bedrooms in a str not to exceed six vehicles subsection n is the maximum occupancy limit which is two persons per bedroom plus an additional two people per dwelling unit subsection o identity verification would require the local representative or make it clear that the local representative the owner is responsible for determining that a guest who booked the str is a fact staying there and then the last one the neighbor notification the owner or local representative of an str would have to notify all households within 200 foot radius of the str that property is being used as str and given the content information so I know that's a lot pause there open up any questions you may have when we want I do have a question under section g contact and it says the property owner must be willing to take phone calls at all times to address issues or the owner must provide the name mailing address and telephone number of a designated responsible local representative so what about if the owner is not local and I just want to make sure that we're covering that because that the owner he has to give the local representatives name he has to have a local representative within 45 miles of the str okay I just want to make sure that's clear that we are saying that they have to have a local contact is that how you read it I understand your question it has to go back and look at it well and maybe I'm going to intend I just want to make sure we have to be sure that there's somebody local that they can call I'm not quite sure chairman if the owner is not local that they would there's a requirement for a local representative I have to go back and look at that but it's a good point taken I'm making note of that Mr. Knox let me ask you a question thanks for pulling this together item D insurance and I don't know if you can answer this but what what kind of increases in insurance do you think would be seen would be realized by a short-term rental owner versus just an owner occupied what kind of a financial kind of burden extra expense are we talking about here for the insurance and maybe this is something if somebody from the short-term rental you know group could speak to you later yeah that's a good question honestly we haven't at least I haven't done any research on you know what the average homeowners currently paying versus what they would have to pay to meet this requirement for one million dollars okay all of the SDR owners that we work with said the million dollars was minimum for them I think they would be accustomed to this number and so if it owner occupied moves out for the weekend that's covered most likely under their home insurance yeah okay Howard you have all the answers today I appreciate it man well for three sir moving on to section five dash four zero three short-term rental permit required and this section really just makes it clear that or to operate SDR within the city either the owner or his local responsible representative would have to get a permit issued by the city there's a permit cycle provided in subsection B where any renewal for permit would have to be done by July 1st of a year if you don't meet that deadline you'd incur a late fee which we'll talk about later of one hundred dollars if you don't submit your application for renewal by July 31st that would result in the loss of the permit James you want to explain a we inadvertently dropped a sentence out of a oh yes sir yes sir so all the stakeholders stakeholders have greeted this a certain clause that was mistakenly omitted from this version has been in every previous version for the past really two three months but what that clause was it made it clear that one permit is specific to one str unit or address so you couldn't have one str permit and use that to operate multiple strs so that was an admission a mistake on my part and we'll be sure to include that in that's how our rental permits are right rental permits follow them the red the particular property right section five dash four zero four really just talks about the permit applications and associated fee subsection a provides that the city would have to provide a form to any applicants and the bare minimum that must be included in the application you'll find in subsection one through eight subsection be specifies the association associated permit fees which are required to be paid at the time of the application of those fees would include a nonrefundable application fee of $50 and then in addition to that for owner occupied strs permit registration fee of $100 for non owner occupied strs permit registration fee of $250 and then in addition to that if applicants seeking to renew their str permit application did not meet the July one deadline we talked about they would incur a late fee of $100 section five dash four zero five well I'm sorry can we go back to the man the late fee is that a one-time late fee assessed no matter if you're a month late or six months late just one flat fee I'm not advocating there I just want clarity it is because well it is a we could specify that it's just a one-time late fee but keep in mind that after July 31st you know six months later you would have to apply for a new permit you would you would no longer be eligible to renew your existing permit because come July 31st you have lost your permit which was that was outlined in five dash four of three B for the application renewal cycle good question there I'm making out of that all right I've had a five dash four zero five this section provides the standard or really the criteria for issuing a permit where if an applicant meets those four elements and a one through four the city has to approve an issue that that permit within 30 days from application submission the criteria generally is applications complete the fees have been paid the city's determined that the applicant has a compliance with everything in this ordinance and that issuers of the permit will not violate any provision of this ordinance five dash four zero six this section would impose a permit cap for non-owner occupied strs in a residential district so that one more time the cap would be limited to or it would only apply to non-owner occupied strs located in a residential district and how that cap would be determined under this proposal is 90 days from the passage of this ordinance you would look at how many permits were issued to non-owner occupied strs in a residential district and that number would be the cap so come day 91 if somebody wanted to apply for an str permit and it's a non or 6% str in a residential district they would have to place their name at no cost on a waiting list maintained by the city as a permit became available due to maybe a permit revocation you know somebody failing to renew their permit or just relinquishing the permit the city would have to notify the person on the waiting list who has been on the waiting list along this because it's first come first serve of that that open permit and the person would have 10 days to apply if they don't submit the application in 10 days or the application is denied for whatever reason in the city we then go to the next person on the list and so on does it make sense all right section five dash four zero seven really just says if someone possesses an str permit and decides they want to rent the property out for a period time greater than 30 days they would not have to get an additional permit under our existing rental regulation ordinance be treated as the same if you have an str permit you are permitted to rent for a period longer than 30 days if you have a regular permit you're not permitted to rent for less than 30 days unless you get a short-term rental permit right unless you get a short-term rental yes sir so you wouldn't need both of them if you're gonna if you're gonna rent short term you need to get the short term rental because that allows you to rent long term the opposite is not true if you have a long-term permit you can't read short term yes sir 30 days section five dash four zero eight is the violation section and it really is essentially the same as the violation section that we have for existing rental ordinance and it really just says if the owner the local rep or any of his guests violate us city ordinance that would be considered a violate they'll constitute a violation for the purposes of this ordinance in addition providing faults or inaccurate information information about a dwelling unit or short-term rental would constitute a violation failure to have an valid str permit in operating str would also constitute a violation subsection B creates really a point scheme for violations that is the same as our existing rental ordinance where for the first violation you'll be assessed one point for that violation for the second violation and any subsequent violations it would be five points assessed for that second or third or fourth occurrence and that's measured in a permit year and then additionally for each violation in section of subsection C you'd be subject to a monetary penalty of $100 for the first violation and for the second and subsequent violation it would be $500 and section five dash four zero eight is the process for revoking a permit and once a permit holder excuse me accumulates or once the permit accumulates 10 or more points that would then be subject to the revocation proceedings and the revocation proceedings here in this are the exact same that we have very existing in ordinance I don't think we need to read through all this it's the same as the long-term rental so 10 points and you you go to the board and may lose your mate may have your permit revoked correct 10 points yes sir you you're served with written notice by the police chief for his designee which would probably be the building official and yes you then go within 15 days if you so chose to have a hearing property maintenance board of appeals is that is that process similar to our permit our rental permit yeah it's the exact same you're in court type response if you put a work plan in place so it's a fix the issue which we currently do under the rental permit correct yeah it's kind of like a informal trial really all right in our last section section five dash four zero nine excuse me permit application after revocation this section just makes it clear that if someone is subject to a revocation they have a six month period in which a six month waiting period before they can apply for an additional permit or apply for any permit for that matter and that permit is specific to that dwelling unit for which the revocation occurred additionally if someone has had their permit revoked more than once for a particular dwelling unit they would no longer be eligible to apply for an SR permit for that one unit right that is it any questions yeah I got let's back up to the two permits the rental permit and the short-term rental permit so if an individual has the annual lease leasing they would go for just the regular rental permit that we have in place correct so but if they wanted to pursue a short-term rental option for their dwelling they would possibly just do the short-term rental permit and not the rental so I guess my question is the short-term rental permit is not just a subsection of boxes that you check under our normal rental permit ordinance that's in place that makes sense I think it does think what you're saying different processes there's two separate requirements and two separate processes correct with one caveat a permit holder of a SCR permit that permit would qualify for a long-term permit so long as they also so long as they also comply with the long-term rental ordinance that's important okay gotcha thank you that answers most of my questions there thank you one of the issues that we we will address through a committee that will be established at the council level is that the SDR industry wanted some way to come up with additional permits under certain conditions I plan to ask the council to establish a committee we hadn't exactly decided maybe seven people and let each one of us pick one person but that hasn't been established yet but that committee would look at the data that we will be gathering after the first 90 days to see where they are and what what neighborhoods are most impacted and we'll look at the possibility of establishing a special exception that would go to the Board of Zoning Appeals for certain specified quality qualities there may be a house that's been abandoned for some time there there may be some code violations that the code enforcement people say this house is not in good shape it might be available put on the SDR market so I want the committee to look at how we can establish a procedure that would involve the neighborhoods the Board of Zoning Appeal the SDR industry to see if there are opportunities to use the desire of the SDR industry to have other permits available to them under certain specified conditions and with public support so that that committee will be established by resolution and will not be part of the ordinance but I think the council will be certainly willing to establish that I've asked two people to ask a question real quick sure David at your code enforcement could you could you just comment on you know you've been a part of this process your team do you see a path forward to efficiently and effectively enforce what what is being put in place and also added workforce to possibly keep up with with this surge in permits can you comment on that I think we it'd be a similar process to what we've already implemented the rental ordinance so I think it would be kind of a we already experienced in this I do anticipate it'll be additional workload and I do think we'll probably need additional staff to maintain this and keep up with the points and the fees and everything is that is that two three more employees what what what do you think to effectively make sure everything is administered correctly okay and we are planning on two from the permit fees we'll have to see after 90 days if that that will be enough great thank you so much David quick question since you're up here the amount of time to approve the permits about how long is it taking for us to approve our current rental permits I say we have 30 days here we generally turn around in a few days I guess it depends since these are all gonna be renewed in July we'll have to make sure we're prepared and ready to turn them around quickly so obviously another result we need to have the two people dedicated to this because we'll hopefully be able to stay up on that the long-term rental permits are due and renewed on January 1 yes and that's a new thing that just starts this January 1 so we're we're teaming up for that now this this is set up so the first year you get a permit it will last until July 1 of 2024 so you might get a 15-month permit instead of a 12-month permit and then it will be renewed on July 1 but the long-term permits will be on January 1 so it'll help them on the workload the work to balance it out I got you thank you Dave we have had representatives from the sdr's and from the neighborhoods and I'd like to ask it Smith to come up and give us her opinion on where we are where we are thank you mr. chairman members of the committee first of all let me make it clear that I don't represent any formal group we've been an informal group connected with neighborhoods throughout the city particularly the city the neighborhoods that are more affected by the sdr's because we're the ones closer to the entertainment districts to the university where naturally the sdr's want to locate so you're not going to hear from the folks too much out in st. Andrew's or further away from those entertainment districts I would say so just know that I'm not officially representing anyone it's at the loose group that's been working together and I want to compliment the sdr group we've been working with we've all had we've had really good meaningful discussions and I think we've come a long way of understanding one another's concerns and tried to reach a middle ground and I think this is a good one for Colombia I will point out that most other cities in South Carolina are being more restrictive on the location in the neighborhoods and we're working with the sdr's here the ones that already exist and the ones that want to come to try to accommodate them but we are still concerned about what goes on in the neighborhoods I have a few questions if I may and that they don't have to be answered today but just to calm your attention is this amending the zoning is this going in the zoning ordinance or just stand alone because the zoning it'll be an ordinance standing alone from the zoning ordinance well the zoning tables will have to be changed I think because it's gonna allow something that isn't in the zoning ordinance now I just thought of that today or I would have brought it up earlier but that's that's just to think about we'll get Krista look at the Krista the the rate of growth in Colombia has been pretty substantial since we started this discussion we had about less than 200 according to the website air DNA and we're now closer to a thousand so is growing pretty rapidly 18% a quarter so that that's threatening to the neighborhoods and the quicker we can get this in place and find out exactly what's out there and how we can move forward together would be give us great reassurance we would like and I should have asked mr. Hatcher this earlier but if we could get a copy of that checklist that goes with long-term rentals that we're also going to hand to the short-term rental folks that it's sort of a abbreviation for all the all these codes that are mentioned the building code the fire code the health and safety code I think that would help the public to understand exactly what we're going to be asking and give assurance that there's going to be some safe safety rails there for the public and for the neighborhoods we do have this is a question but is a site is a warning the same thing as a citation this it says that they'll be issued a warning and if there's a big problem like in the rosewood str where the murders were committed in 21 it then seems to me you shouldn't just get a warning for a bad violation first time around even I mean I know there'd be police action and if there was a crime but also in terms of the str enforcement well in the rental code they and David can correct me but they have particular things require the types of like shooting and guns would not be a warning like by the code I think is actually a major offense that's five points just make we just wanted to make sure we understood that correctly and I'm willing to you know don't don't need an answer today I just wanted to call that to your intention David I just I do want to ask David shooting from a rental unit is at five points at 10 points and if you have a rental and we find out that someone in the rental is shooting actively shooting randomly in the neighborhood is that five or 10 it's an automatic 10 points for serious violation yes and you kicked out automatically the 10 point is the 10 point max is in this but the the serious offense I don't think is written into this short term in ordinance so we need to add it that'd be an automatic revocation if they had something thank you good question thank you then we are concerned about the the the permanent situation and we had a we had a good fruitful discussion with the str industry and we agreed to do this that it we wanted the cap to be sort of a permanent cap that could be eroded over time as they closed down but we have agreed that there'd be a finite cap that could stay forever and ever to you guys change your minds but if if the if the caps is not put in a specific geographic area we're going to end up with all of them in other words if there's one as there is in Heathwood and that one decides to go away then that permit whoever gets that permit and is on the waiting list is probably going to want to come closer to five points or the Vista or the football stadium so we would like to have some guardrails around the location of those permits may and I mean I don't know how to do it well just occurred to me last night maybe just say within a mile of the existing permit because it doesn't go with the property is that correct it goes with the whoever it's like getting a taxi license in New York City so we don't we don't want them to gradually all end up in our neighborhoods and then just a caution about enforcement and this is true of almost all local ordinances and laws in fact is it takes the people the citizens to enforce that there aren't going to be Mr. Hatcher doesn't have enough people to ride around on Saturday nights and go by and check every str in the city so we have to report them and sometimes that turns neighbor against neighbor and and it makes it very difficult so and also we so it's going to depend on us to enforce that we realize that we have to report things but we would also like somewhere along the line to have a 24-hour call I mean it happens on weekends on nights when when the cut enforcement folks aren't at work and if it's not a police violation if it's a dog or maybe you'll send a policeman to do check that out but we think the police force should be used looking at more serious things so and I hope there'll be enough money available to make enforcement available to citizens just to make a phone call and get some response 24-7 I know that's asking a lot but we would really appreciate it I think that's it Mr. Lynn Shirley's here from Hollywood Rose Hill I cover everything Lynn. So I just wanted to follow up on the cap and making making sure that one or two neighborhoods don't get all of the short-term rentals because that is one of my concerns as well but is the thought that the committee once we get the data in and see exactly where they are I just want to know what our process is going to be then we'll be able to assess how those numbers are but that is a legitimate concern that we don't have 90 percent of them 90 percent of them want to cross in his district I think that would be that would be in the purview of the committee that will be formed to look at some of the things that you just talked about right here location the permit being the primary yes but that would be very helpful but also under the under just this ordinance the permits can transfer yet that if I own an Airbnb and I decide not to own one anymore then my permit goes on the waiting list and somebody else can get it but not they wouldn't necessarily take the one that you not the same location that you right what I'm saying is they could take it yeah the first one on the list gets to get a permit that's right and they could come into our neighborhood when they weren't there before so that's the concern we understand yeah so if there's well some way to do that between now and the time you pass this thing I really think that would be a long way towards helping helping us out that's a great one yeah I just don't know if we'll have the data to make the decision that's true yeah I mean just to be honest because I think we need to see where the concentration is because maybe later on we can look at if one gets revoked or someone stops their permit you know we limit the locations that the new one can be in but I personally don't think we have the data right to make that decision yeah I think you're absolutely right from day one we've realized what is the data what are the metrics and so I think this period of time will help us gather that to send us on the the right path and I agree with that except then that puts the onus on us while you're waiting on the data all of these permits could be I mean this is probably an exaggeration and I'm willing to go with the flow here but you could have 50 people that give up their permits before you have a have made a decision because you don't have the data and they all come to Shandon Wells Garden Hollywood Rose Hill MLK Waverly the areas that we've been working with so and the data shows now that more than 50% of them are in 29205 and 29201 the data we have I mean who knows if it's good or not so it's just well we'll have good data after during that time period that everyone has to apply to get there so that's that's a small yeah during that period maybe we could figure something out yeah at the end of that 90 days which is not really far off we will have a good sense of where everything is that I think that's well taken so it's not as long that you are and then I'm assuming during that time too and we won't have people turning them in during those 90 days true I understand okay I'm I'm trusting you thank you so much and again let me just thank mr. Duvall he's been really patient with me and with our group and also I really respect the short-term rental industry and I appreciate you working with them and getting to know them so thank you very much for all your work thank you Kit David Bergman has represented the SDR industry from the get go along with others and I have appreciated getting to know him and and understanding more about the industry and David would you like to have some comments yeah sure thank you thank you chairman committee for having me just to Kit's last point I actually think if anybody's getting a permit within that 90 days just keep in mind they're going to have it for a year so you're going to have 12 months is going to be your time for that analysis before anybody's going to be giving up their permit is would be my unless you voluntarily or we have a lot of code enforcement issues happening but I just really don't see that happening much in the first year so I think that'll be a good window for us to do the analysis and I would offer my experience doing that if you guys need it I mean a lot of economic experience and data analysis experience that's just kind of my thing so I'd love to help you guys in that and and also no short term rentals and I know how to kind of delve into that data get into the zip codes and stuff like that so there's anything I can do just just let me know I really appreciate you guys giving me this opportunity to speak I'm also like kit not a formal representative just trying my best to represent the views of other hosts in the area some of them here today a lot of them not so I'm trying to do my best to do that and kind of represent all sides whether that's an owner occupied not an unoccupied property manager or just somebody who has a single rental really quickly just want to remind the council again and I apologize it's a little bit like a broken record but I I do really hope that at some point we can see the data on code enforcement I know that this will enable us to do that so I'm hopeful that like 12 months down the road we can look at the data for short term rentals and see like are the offenses that we're seeing are we over represented or under represented as far as like compared to a normal long-term rental I'm just I'm going to go ahead and make a prediction that we're we're going to end up seeing many more fewer violations for short term rentals than long-term rentals I hope the data bears that out again I'd be happy to help with that we did also see that short term rentals as kit mentioned have increased over the past year that that is certainly in the data we've seen that the demand for alternate accommodations has grown during covid as people don't want to necessarily be in a lobby they want to bring their pets with them they're they're looking for longer stays so short term rentals are our solution to that and so the demand has caused this increase in supply and that's that's how the market works certainly just want to point out that as we do get this data you know look forward to re-examining everything we've done you know I I hope that this is not just something that will just stay forever something we can continue to work on work through and I'm happy to have that partnership with you guys the draft has really come a long way and being a part of that process was great and I appreciate Howard you inviting me into that we've given a lot of feedback in those meetings and we made a lot of headway there we lowered the permit fees we simplified the permits to be more consistent with long-term rentals we've made the language more relevant to short-term rentals for instance calling them guests guests rather than tenants because they're not tenants and and also removing some of the the requirements that were really not enforceable in any way so we've really made a lot of progress on this and so you know appreciate kit and everybody else who was a part of the process we still have a few concerns and I would be remiss not to bring those up here in front of council and talk through them so that at least you guys are aware that those are concerns that we still have there's not a lot but just to go through them really quickly the discussion around the cap is probably the most important thing we believe that a cap is much better than a ban after 90 days which was where we were at last time of course we prefer to have the free market decide what's the optimal level and I think we'll see that there's a big reduction in the next few months as people are not traveling as much with the economy so I do think a cap will will tend to limit economic activity and travel to the city and I don't necessarily think that's a good thing I think it will also open the city up to potential litigation like we've seen in other cities where people believe that renting their property is a property right in many cities and states there are class action lawsuits lawsuits relating to caps and bans specifically and oftentimes the argument is that you're taking away somebody's economic opportunity for their property and therefore they need to be compensated for that so I'm just bringing that up because it should be considered carefully and really recommend a full legal review of that just to make sure that that's you know something that's not going to expose the city to a significant amount of risk um and David hold on for one second before you go further I do want to clarify that my thought was that this was a temporary cap while we go through the data over the next year or so or are we saying this is the permanent gap well nothing's permanent this this can be changed by four votes from council but it is a permanent cap until it is changed okay I just needed that clarification and then business license are currently a requirement in the draft and for me that's no problem but I do worry about the 80 percent of hose to just are managing a single room in their house or a single rental property or maybe you know an additional dwelling over their garage like is is a business license too much um perhaps we could just say if it's if it's above a certain number of properties under management of business licenses required that's just one thought of a potential solution or maybe it just not at all yeah I agree I would like to look at that well I'll just throw in if you operate a home-based business you have to have a business license and I kind of see it because I have a home-based business um we have to get a business license for my one little house it's my two cents so maybe if the process is easy for host um and the city's good about you know helping host tour in that situation maybe we can have a fly or something when we issue permits that helps them understand that process I think that'll help a lot neighbor notification requirement that we talked about for a minute I'm really concerned about that one I don't mind and I do notify neighbors direct neighbors um but to say 200 feet it seems like that's going to be a very high bar to meet and I mean we manage some just in an apartment building here on main street there's got to be 200 residents and in 200 feet I mean that's the entire apartment building so I would maybe just say perhaps we could consider modifying that that from like a distance to maybe being your left and right neighbor maybe the across the street neighbor something like that that's just a little bit more straightforward and would not result in a lot of notifications in highly dense areas did you say 100 feet I think you said 200 feet radius we had 200 feet in there yeah did I hear you say 200 uh 100 feet or did you say contiguous neighbors just directly next door contiguous neighbors yeah yeah that was my my potential alternative because I just think that if you're in a highly dense area it could be not practical to to address everybody in a 200 foot radius so that was just a week we request that when they do tell the neighbors that they leave their contact info right yeah as the contact for right okay and then for guests that are the requirement for guests to be 21 I know I've gotten a lot of feedback from other hosts that they host a lot of people that are 18 to 21 that are very respectful a lot of them are prospective students at the university so just you know I wanted to bring that up that potentially 18 is maybe a better start and would would mean that we're not discriminating on age in this ordinance the current draft lays out a system for points that is consistent with long-term rentals that's great I think I just got some feedback as well that like when we go to actually administer and ministering the points can those points be consistent consistent across long-term and short-term and one example that I hadn't even thought of is what happens if you are doing more of a 30-day 60-day or a year-long rental in between and how would those points be administered I'm not really sure is it so if you had consistency in everything points and violations not only would that be simpler for code enforcement it would be simpler for us and just maybe more practical as well so that was just I didn't even think of that during our discussion so that's just a new point to bring forward David can we go back to the age requirement minimum guests age and this is for you all to look at the guests making the booking or reservation shall be at least 21 years of age and I may have missed it it just requires the person making the reservation is there a connection making the person who makes the reservation be the person who stays because I think I saw that one time in the order of the managers to make sure that the person making the reservation in fact inhabits the STO well I'm just going to throw out that you know other people sometimes make reservations for me um for the city so I mean we want to consider that part to sometimes family members I just don't I just want y'all to think through that but I have family members or who make reservations for me it's not me making them and then I don't know how enforceable it is either I'm just throwing that out there and I do the same for my parents they don't know how to use uber I've ubered them to the to the airport stuff like that I mean sometimes it's just that the new technology and the new apps are just not as as easy to understand for older generations I just want y'all to think about that language and how we would enforce it and then the final thought I had is about the how the permits could be potentially reassigned I don't think we called it transferability but we talked about how if you have existing owner of a property and they have a short-term rental permit and then it moves to a new it could be reapplied for by a new owner that's that's great and that was something we had asked for and I appreciate that being included um one other situation or scenario that we considered that might also solve for what what kit was talking about is um you know could we also consider transferring a permit between properties so long as that's um also reapplied for with the same um in meeting all the requirements of the permit so if I had property a and it's in Heathwood and I decide right right now the incentive for me as a host is to keep that forever for fear that I would lose that permit on that house but really it would be it would be good as a host to be able to say that house is no longer you know I don't want to keep my permit there I want to relinquish it and potentially move into another property with that instead um so just something to consider as well there I need you to text and I'm not trying to prolong but I need you to explain that to me because I'm trying to figure out under what circumstances would you want to transfer ownership I mean transfer the permit like why would and does that mean if they're shutting down the first one yeah like say it's it just makes more sense to have long-term rentals or maybe I want to sell the property um I just want to I don't want to do short term rentals with it um and that happens like a lot of people will will properly want to do that and um and so if I as the permit holder could just reapply let's say within a period of 30 days to a new property so I don't just lose my permit outright that would be advantageous for host just a consideration and then we at sorry did you want to comment okay and then find one other thing we just had the discussion about revocation and talking about that you could not if it's been revoked by a property owner I just noticed in that meeting that it says you could not reapply as that owner or manager I managed quite a few in the area um I would just like for that to maybe say for that property so I could still reapply if I had a property that was revoked that's what it says doesn't it say for the property I think that just might be a technical question it didn't it didn't look like it said that if that's the intent maybe we just look at it it says for a dwelling unit that has been subject to a permit revocation it's but then it goes on to say that that host can no longer apply for another permit within six months so you can apply but you have to wait six months after the revocation from revocation of an str permit or of a dwelling unit the owner responsible local representative of the dwelling unit will not be eligible to apply for a new permit until six months have passed from the date of revocation the city will not issue an str permit for a dwelling unit that has been subject to a permit revocation more than once I think that does what you're talking about it okay if it does if that's the intent and that's what it does yeah my concern was just if I if I'm in the larger host who's managing quite a few if I had one that was revoked would I never basically be able to if somebody brought another one to me we'll look at that but I think that it does what you're thinking and I guess what you may be asking is let's say one he has 10 properties one gets revoked in March and it's renewal time is he prevented from renewing the other 10 because I mean the other nine because of the revocation with one send that in the email David sounds good yeah okay well that's that's it as far as my you know just what I've gotten as far as feedback from other hosts my own feedback I tried to kind of compile it from what I've seen but but just a final a final thought and we brought this up in the meeting as well but in other municipalities they've really had challenges with enforcing permits making sure that there's not a black market that's being created because the the permits are no longer obtainable let's say after the 90 days so people will be out there just running short-term rentals illegally so we as a city just need to have a plan of course everybody in here will be operating legally and have our permits but for those that aren't we just want them to compete on a level playing field we want them to have permits to pay the the permit fees we want them to be subject to the same safety requirements so we just need to to make sure we have a plan of action for enforceability do you have just as the short-term rental industry now have a working group put together amongst you know managers owners everything would always be great to have your help and you know looking out for stuff like that and moving forward yeah we have an unofficial group we do not have an official group but certainly happy to help and I'm sure I know a lot of people in the group want to be a part of everything that's going on and weigh in so whatever we can do to help so along with enforceability just keep in mind that you can't just go to out to Airbnb and find the locations of a of a problem rental or a rental that does not have a permit you will get an area or radius around it which could be up to a mile so unless you're unless you're really going to a third-party service that's you know charging the city to basically get the data on where they actually are because they're using technologies to basically triangulate where those are unless you're paying for those services it's going to be very hard for just a person sitting in the city to administer and enforce this thing so I just want to keep you guys aware of that because we've seen that issue in Greenville and Charleston other cities where they've enforced bans that you really have to you have to get one of these outside services and that's going to be a cost that we have to bear so as we're maybe we better go back up to five hundred dollars you'll just have more illegal rentals we do plan to get a third-party administrator to come in and help us with this and your question about enforcement as miss Smith said it's going to be up to us including y'all to help us enforce so to make sure that there are no black market strs out there and the second thing is that by requiring the advertisement from a permitted str to show the permit number on the advertisement we don't help us pick out the ones that do not have that permit number and we can send the code enforcement people that yeah and so my point is you'll see the advertisement on let's say Airbnb is where that one is you'll see that's in Shandon but you're not going to know this is 2915 Monroe street you know you're not going to it's not going to be that easy so that's that's always just pointing out you're going to need somebody who can actually find and pinpoint that address because it is not marketed we'll um we had great response when we did the long-term rentals from the neighborhoods we got a lot of people that were listing four percent homes that were really six percenters uh because the neighbors turned them in and I think the citizens around here will help us enforce this if we if and when we get it passed thank you David I do appreciate your cooperation here and all of this I just had one thing based on the the well not for David but um Mr Knox if we could I don't think I saw it in here but some kind of language addressing um when people are intentionally operating without a license I think that there should be a penalty for that not they just hadn't heard about it because that's the situation too but if if we find out that for instance we've told them they need to get a um permit and a month later we see that we had they haven't okay so yes person shouldn't have one so section five dash four zero eight does have a provision dealing with um operating STR without a valid permit constitutes a violation but a hearing is I think you want an intent requirement in there I think this may be I think this would be a different statement it would be if they're found intentionally operating i.e. intentionally means they've been given some level of notice and they still haven't done it then are we all together then they shouldn't have a permit ever okay ever ever ever okay we we have at least three people in here that have a five o'clock hard stop um and so we're going to um bring this to a close I do thank everybody for their participation today is there a thought from the committee on sending this to the full council um Mr. Chairman I want to thank everybody that's participated in the process I think we've brought it far enough along that um the warrants going to um full council probably to be appointed to a work session to update our colleagues any comments feedback edits and then you know after that the readings in general city council so there will be more opportunities for public input I think that is needs to be needs to be communicated but again I just want to thank everybody's effort on this did you make a motion I'm seconding that what that motion did you want to make a motion that was a yes that was a motion that was a motion and I'm seconding the motion seconded by Mrs. Herbert um Madam Clerk would you call the roll this is a motion to send it to the full council Mr. Herbert hi Mr. Burnett yes Mr. Duvall thank you I appreciate everybody's participation in this process as you can see from the comments we got tonight there's still things that we need to straighten out but we will get it straight thank you we we're adjourned


Recognizing that there is a significant element of volunteer labor and institutional support from our constituencies that work together to make this enterprise is also very important. I don't buy the argument that you hear in some quarters that says, well, NSF and NIH and NEH paid for this research. Therefore, everybody should have access to the published findings from that research at no additional expense. I simply don't buy that because I know what goes into professionally curating the quality material that stands for innovative, original, important work in our field. It's not done without expense and so those expenses need to be covered.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here? So we're actually gonna be talking about the ABC family freeform series pretty little liars in this video here today I've never talked about this series on on my channel but I might start doing it a bit more given that the original sin spin-off series as expected today view this summer on HBO Max and I'll probably do like recap videos on that and Maybe do a little bit more pretty liars videos in relation to this original series that started back in 2010 So I like thousands of you out there who probably surface or come across this video I subjected myself to weekly viewings of this series from day one all the 2017 when it ended and I think there's a general consensus that season one and two are the best seasons and as you see in the thumbnail This is pertaining to Mona Vander Waal who spoiler alert. Yes She is a in the original first two seasons if you somehow managed to click on this video and just miss the spoiler alone in the thumbnail, but diving into why Mona is the best ape as it pertains to what I see from her compared to the other two that we get later on in the series So the series itself revolves around these group of girls who a year after their friend disappear and start receiving these Anonymous texts from this assailant who threatens to expose like all their darkest secrets and just threaten them in general And their loved ones as a result as it pertains to certain secrets that they thought only that dead Disappeared friends should know so at one point in the series at the end of season two we find out that one of the a's because there's three in total by the end of it is Mona Vander Waal and Mona is a character who as Compared to the other two a's when it comes to her reveal since we get it so early on in the show and because the show Was so successful what they end up doing is exploring her a little bit more over the course of seasons three through seven We get to spend more time with this character. We get to see more layers to her We get to see the impact that she's had on these characters as it pertains to what she caused in the first two seasons I think she had the strongest impact on all the liars as well aria Hannah Spencer Emily alike. She had a gigantic impact on them arias arias parents got broken up because of her Hannah had constant reminders about her weight problems because of Mona and the fact that Mona was Hannah's best friend So that was another another big heartache to Hannah when it when that reveal came as we saw in the episode she was the most distraught over it from what I saw and Spencer she's literally challenged by Mona academically Spencer really prides herself on academics so then when you have someone who basically cyber bullied you and who's also someone who you kind of Didn't necessarily bully when Allison was in town But you kind of never stood up for her in response to that bullying Now she's here challenging what you pride yourself on so much which is academics and She's doing it quite well. She even beats her at one point There's actually a moment in the series where Mona causes Spencer to have a mental breakdown And she she ends up being in rally sanitarium where Mona actually does spend some time herself after the after the season 2 Finale unmasked where someone ultimately just steals the game from her they say and as it relates to Mona There's also countless clues that I myself didn't really notice upon first watch of course so like When she's hacking and getting Emily back onto the swim team, obviously, that's something many of us should have caught on too Also the fact that there's an episode in season one where she's literally giving out black hoodies to those in attendance of camp Mona, I believe which is like a birthday party she threw for herself and Also the instances where the series very early on at the I would say in the pilot episode sets up the fact of the liars and Allison had basically created a riff between themselves and Mona, so there's already tension there between them and The other things that pertain to Mona I would say and the clues that I missed was when she started getting a messages how she was so like Urgent about getting them to see that she's getting these texts like she's literally trying to throw them off her trail and The other thing was just about Hannah and that hefty Hannah thing that got brought up from age At the time of the show Erin I believe the only person who was thought to have known about that was Allison and also Mona because Mona and Hannah spent their time Carving new looks for themselves together and that's where that bond formed. So it's like okay Well, Allison's not here, but Mona is so that was another thing that I just let go over my head But also when it pertains to Mona compared to the other a's when you go back and look at season one and two and The series as a whole the cohesiveness is more in line with Mona's reveal than the other two Also, the fact that with Mona she gets one glorious reveal and it's amazing the other two Get like not the last one the last one gets one reveal But the second one Who I'm not trying to say spoilers for any of you who actually want to go out of your way to watch this show I'm not trying to spoil it all in its entirety But I probably again, I'm gonna just in a swollen anyway with future videos with thumbnails, but anyway with the second a reveal that we get We get that person revealed like three times before or two times prior to them being this big a reveal And it's like okay, we already knew about them this it was underwhelming also the narrative around them didn't make sense That's when a lot of the plot holes started Raveling unraveling and you saw as the show progressed that Mona and her arc and how we get to see the impact she's had on these characters through season three and seven It surpasses in a lot of ways what these other two a's are doing because we don't really get to see the impact after the fact the second a is killed very early on in the next season after their reveal and The last a we find out in the series finale We don't get to spend too much time with these people to know how these girls felt about her or or him or them So we don't really know anything about those last two outside of things We learn along the way prior to knowing that they were a we don't really get that inside Introspective look at them like I feel we did with Mona over the course of the season or the rest of the series as she was Able to always have this feeling of untrust between herself and other characters They never knew what she was thinking she was always having them having them on the edge and making them think that she was up to no Good sometimes she was actually trying to help them because we saw that she actually became a protagonist over the course of the series and With Mona is just again a more cohesive narrative the other two. It's more convoluted. It's more plot-hold field It's more. It's more dragged out with those two as well and the simplicity of it all starts and ends with Mona Mona is a reminder of the kind of like the simpler better times of the series before it did go off the rails But I'm looking forward to seeing what we get in pretty little liars original sin seen if there are any special cameos I do again believe Mona van der Waal was the best a Considering all the things that I just mentioned But let me know who you guys thought was the best a in the series or if you thought it was Mona Let me know why down in conversation below just add on more reasons why she was best over the other two Let me know all that down in the comment section below and what's your favorite season of pretty little liars Let me know that too if you watch the series unfortunately Down again in the comment section, but if you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on postfication image the video in the description I have links to my social media accounts my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there of course So let me know if there's any movies news or reviews you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind Guys, I will see you in the next video
