Great. Welcome, everyone. It's nice to see you all again in 2022 off to a crazy start as is the norm these days, but it's great to have this group back together. And I'd like to start by calling to order the January 10 2022 parks and recreation board meeting. Could we please call the roll. So we have Aaron ankle. It's Aaron angel and I'm here. Sorry, Aaron angel. Scott Conlon. Right here. I believe Jeff Ellen Bogan gave his apologies for tonight's meeting. Manojgan while we're waiting on page Lewis. Here. Nicholas novello. Here. Dan Olson. Here. And Tim waters. I'm here. You. Great. Thanks, Nikki. And welcome to Aaron, our new board member and to come from in waters are new ways on great to have you both with us. So the first item of business tonight is board reorganization and election of officers. I would be open to continuing and would enjoy that opportunity, but and also would like to open nominations if there are others that would like to put nominations forward. And I nominate page Lewis to be the next board chairman. Person. Thank you. Is there a second. I will second that. No, actually, I think we have to do nominations first. Are there any other nominations? Sorry, I'm a little rusty on my order of things. Okay. If there's no other nominations. All those in favor. I guess I can vote. I find this part very awkward. Any post. All right. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve for you. We do need to also elect a vice chair. Dan is our current vice chair. I don't know Dan, if you want to say anything about whether you are interested in continuing to serve or not. I will, but I recall a year ago Scott was interested. So if there's somebody else who would like to be I'm fine with that either way. Then sure I would or maybe I'm misremembering was there someone else who wanted to be vice I'm happy to do it. It was me, but I think. I'm sorry. My mistake. Sorry. All good. Go for it. I will nominate you. I will nominate you Dan for as I start this right. How about that? Okay, whatever it takes. I'll nominate Nicholas. How's that? All right. Then we have to vote. Are you both interested in being considered? No, I want Nicholas to do it because he was so nice last year. All those in favor of Nicholas serving as our vice chair. Anyone opposed. Great. Thanks, Nicholas.  And thank you Dan for your service last year. Okay, let's move on to approval of the agenda. Hopefully you all got to. Oh, yeah. I think it'd be a good idea for Aaron to introduce herself and tell us just a little bit about her. If you don't mind. Great. Darn. I was hoping not to talk too much this meeting. My name is Aaron Angel. And I've lived in Longmont for almost 20 years now. And I know I look so young, right? Like only just 20 years old. I was born here. No, I wasn't. I was born in the Midwest. I've lived all around the United States and some other parts of the world as a park and parks and recreation. Administration. That's my master's degree at Chico State in California. And I work at Centaurus High School and Angevine Middle School. I work for Cottonwood Institute teaching. Guiding trips and connecting young people to the outdoors and teaching them environmental advocacy skills. I abloh un poquito. Well, I abloh a lot of Espanol, but not perfect. Great. It's so great to have you. Sounds like you have a really well suited background and interest. It would be fun to have you as part of our conversation. Thank you so much. Thank you guys. Excited. Dammit. I'm not on mute. I'm looking for my chat button. Okay. I'm good. Thank you. Well, I'm. I'm hopeful that we all will be able to meet in person again at some point this year. We did get to see each other once during a field trip, which was very nice and hopefully we'll be able to go back to meeting in person at some point. We'll be back during this year, but for now, here we are. So we'll move on to approval of the agenda. Hopefully everyone could look at the agenda in the packet. Does anyone have any questions? Or any proposed changes? If not, can I get a motion to approve the agenda? I move we approve the agenda as it stands. Okay. Thank you. All those in favor? Hi. Any post? Great. The agenda is approved. And then we'll move on to approval of the previous month's minutes. We haven't met since November. So the previous month's minutes are from our November 8th meeting. Did anyone have any questions or changes from those minutes? Yeah. Page I did have one that we could just correct to be great. Okay. Under the union reservoir. Access management. I think it says that the primary reason for closeness was. Potential for aquatic moss species to come into the boats and being unchecked. And that's in A20 or A with the union reservoir and it's down towards the bottom. But if we just really put in their invasive nuisance species is the primary reason. Okay. Any other questions or changes? Okay. So I need a motion to approve the minutes as amended. I move that we approve the second. Also second. All those in favor? Hi. And you pose. The minutes are approved as amended. Okay. Now we'll move to our public invited to be heard and I understand that we do have. One member of the public who has asked. To speak tonight. Yes, we do chair. Member of the public. You have three minutes to address the board. And also please remember to state your name and address for the record. Hi, and I'm supposed to leave my camera off. Is that correct? Yes, please. No problem. Okay, great. My name is Adrian Chinalt. I live at 310 Pratt street. And I am here to request that the recreation department open up additional hours and or courts for indoor pickleball during the winter season. In particular, I would really like to see some pickleball availability on the weekend, whether that be at the recreation center or at the memorial building. And I would also like to say that this last weekend, I made a trip up to love land who has open play on the weekends, just to see what that was like. And they have three courts that they make available for open play. For about a three hour block on Sundays, I believe maybe also on Saturdays. And so that would allow for 12 people to play simultaneously.  So pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the United States. And just anecdotally from a few times over at the rec center on the weekends for kids basketball games, we have young kids here. You know, the court that's taken up by a volleyball and that seems to be almost completely unused, but we see that there's a lot of potential match play is happening. And so that could be a great candidate to free that up and to use that for a couple of pickleball stripes instead. So that's, that's my request. And thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to come and share. Great. Thanks so much for taking time. We really appreciate it. Jeff, I don't know if you wanted to add anything before we close out. No, we'll, we'll certainly look at that. Saturdays are going to be tough this time of year with basketball starts this weekend. The Memorial building historically hasn't been very suitable for pickleball because we have sport court there, and the ball doesn't bounce true so people really struggle with that. But certainly we can look at some time on Sundays. I will have one of the staff at the rec center reach out to Adrian and see what we can come up with. Awesome. Thank you so much. Okay. Are there any other members of the public. To be heard. Not at this time, chair. And we'll go ahead and close the public invited to be heard section. And move on to old business. We have no old business. So let's move on to new business, which will involve. Designating our meeting day and time meeting location. We're going to be looking at private agenda than the private agenda calendar. So, Jeff, should I turn it over to you? Do you want to leave this? Sure, I can do that. Each year. The clerk requires that we take care of some business on to make it official on when we're going to meet what, what day of the month and at what time. We've met the second Monday of every month at 630. We can keep that or if someone has other suggestions, we can certainly talk about that. I'd like to deal with each one separately so we can have a motion on each one. Great. Does anyone have any proposed change to the meeting day and time. Great. Okay. So we have a motion to accept the second Monday at 6. This is, this is Steve. Sorry. I've missed the national championship game for eight years running now because it's always the second Monday in January. Can we make January 2023 meeting on the third Monday? No. No. Thank you, Jeff. Next, it'll be tennis matches. I get it. You want to do a vote, Jeff, on each individual piece. Yes, if we could please. I thought you would want to do them all at once. Okay. Okay. All those in favor of continuing to meet on the second Monday at 630 p.m. All those in favor. Any opposed. I think we're good on that one. Okay. So the next one is meeting location and with. Meeting virtual. This is kind of an odd one to talk about. But historically we've met down at the park shop. And would need a motion that when we go back to meeting in person, that that would be our meeting location. Does anyone have any. Okay. Erin, do you know where that we're talking about sunset and the railroad tracks. Across the street from. I can't do it. Isaac Walton. Okay. Yeah. Okay. We're talking about. Yeah. Thank you. I appreciate that you wanted. Me to know where it was. So I didn't wander around aimlessly. I don't think we've ever been there either. Right. Weird year we've been having. Okay. Sorry. Page. Okay. Do we have a motion to continue. Having the parks. Building be our in person meeting location when we're able to return. Can I offer like, why, why would we meet inside at a shop when we could meet across the street at one of the parks that we serve? Just question mark. Well, part of it is we need access to internet and that sort of thing. It really isn't the shop. It's the parks office building. And, you know, very well suited for that. We have a TV so that we can do presentations that there doesn't, there's nothing that says. We can't meet in a park or at a different location. This is just to these items really educate the public that when we are back in, in that location that they know when, where and what time we meet every month. That's, that's the reason we're doing this. Okay. Would anyone like to make a motion about the meeting location? I move that the parks and rec advisory board. Continues to meet when we meet in person. It was at seven south sunset. In the meeting room in the front there. I have a second. Thanks. All those in favor. I need pose. Great. And then the final thing for. Notification to the public each year is where we're going to post. Our agendas and that is on the city website. We've need a motion to approve that. We'll also let everybody know that we. Try to put paper notices at the civic center. At the three recreation facilities and at the senior center as well. But we had only the official site is the city website. Nicholas. I will motion to continue. Posting the agendas on the city website. Thank you. And seconded almost in favor. I. Thank you. Okay. I think we're good with all the. Standard. As a recommendation. Would you like to move on to the prep calendar discussion? Yes. So all of the staff is prepared to. Provide information. As the board has questions this evening. Each year in January, we try to identify the. Items that. You all would like to talk about during the year. That we add to the calendar. But would like to hear your feedback on what you would like to see us. Discuss. This year. We did include in the packet a list of. Potential agenda items. And you want me to go through those or how, how would you like me to handle that? Yeah. Why don't we run through it. Yeah. And then we could have just kind of an open round Robin. People can suggest if there's other. Topics that we should be considering. Sure. Yeah. Last week, the staff met and. Tried to come up with. Potential items that we thought you might be interested in. Again, we can add or take away. However, you want to do that. Yeah. So this was an update of master plans for park rec and trails. Open space. Recreation. As well as envision Longmont. And that process will kick off some time this year. We are working very close with planning. To take their lead in the update of the. In an effort to try to reduce the number of meetings that the public may have to. Or may want to attend that we could consolidate those and do. Some of our work at those same meetings. Don't have a lot of detail on that. They, the planning staff will be going to council and. Sometime, I believe this month to present that option to city council. And to get their feedback on whether they. Would be interested in us doing that or not. Dan and Danielle would like to come in February to talk about. The button rock preservation or excuse me reserve. And talk about the work that they've been doing. Up there. Steam discussion, which is. Some of the business development. Along the river and in conjunction with the. Flower mill that is a topic that. Council is doing a lot of work on this year. And you will hear that probably multiple times throughout the year. Continuing on what we had. Talked about last year of working towards another recreation facility. And discussing missing sidewalks and trails. Every several years Steve does that presentation and it's a. A really good presentation to kind of see where the gaps are in, in the trail system. The capital improvement projects. What we would like to do is, is possibly in February. Come and review. The CIP projects capital improvement projects that we are working on for. 2022. And then come back to the following month and really talk about what, what your thoughts are for the 2023. CIP process. We talked about joint, joint meeting with sustainability and water, the water board. Those are two separate boards. And that could possibly tie into the potential drop restrictions that could be coming this, this year. We thought it would also be good for you all to be able to interact with the other boards. And there are a lot of things that. That those two boards do that to interact with the things that the parking wreck board does. So we'll talk about the potential of a new outdoor pool. In the CIP and. Or excuse me in the master plan. Currently it talks about a second sunset type pool out at the dry park dry creek park. Potential of. Renovating sunset pool and at some point time. Discuss the ranger program. And I think that David and his staff has done a lot of thing, great things to improve the ranger program. And they like to share that with you. A lot of times you don't really hear a lot about the parks operation plan. And how timber helps to maintain all the parks. We thought that might be a good presentation. Discussion about art in public places. There are projects that are funded by one percent of the capital projects that are done by the city. Some of the work that they do go into the. To the parks. And I believe Steve. Said that they're working on. Some, some art project right now he might be able to respond. More about that. And then also. Discussion about recreation program. We have the area supervisors come and talk about the. Various operations that we have in recreation. Talk about. The festivals and special events that we do. And possibly talk about our cost recovery program. That is one of the financial programs. That we have in the budget. So those are kind of our. Let me add one other thing that's not on your list, but I heard from. Other staff in March. There are staff in sustainability that are working on. A zero waste resolution. They'd like to come in March and present their thoughts to the board. And then come back in May. And present their findings of their discussions that they've had. With other members and other boards in the community. So that, that's the list that we have. Any questions on those things? Yeah, I'd love to hear from board members. If there are any of days that you want to prioritize, if you have questions, if you have other topics. You'd like to consider. Nicholas. Thanks, Paige. So I definitely want to get into specifics here, but I'm just thinking realistically, how many of these could be reasonably take on. In the agenda for 2022, right? Is it like roughly half? Is that a fair estimate? It's really a question for everyone here. How we want to think about doing this. So I think that will help us make a decision on which ones we want to prioritize because we know, like, how many of you can reasonably pick out a list. I would guess that we could take on half or three quarters of them. One of the things that David and Paige and I have talked about. Is trying to keep the meetings to two, two and a half hours at the most. In years past, we've had meetings that went on three or four hours. And are pretty wearing after that two, two and a half hour mark. But we certainly can. Plug them into the count calendar based on your priorities. And we can backfill if we can't put them all on or we can carry those. Into. 2023 also. My thought was. Sorry, David. I'll just make a quick comment. I mean, my thought was also just based on past experience. Some of these might be. Like a main topic at one meeting, but then sort of a follow on it future meetings. So I think about the. Talking about the master planning or even a new recreation facility, you know, we might dedicate a lot of discussion to a new recreation facility at some meetings, but then just touch on it for updates at other meetings. So. I think it depends on how much time we wanted to spend on any of the. Topics. David. That's what I was going to say, Paige. I think it really depends. I think staff, as Jeff said, we're trying to get. So we can be a little more on. Respect. I was timing these meetings and staff can probably do a tighter job of getting these presentations. Down to pretty tight presentation, but it depends on how much time. The board like to discuss them. So it makes it, that makes it a little challenging, but we could probably put a couple of these. If we look at here's a heavy topic and here's just information piece. We could probably do a little bit of that as well. I would agree with Jeff. I think three quarters of those we could use. We could try to get those on there. And, and I think maybe what, what we could do tonight is. If you could identify your priorities. And then David and I can take that list and, and work with Paige and get them into a calendar. That we can present to you at the February meeting. So Nicholas, did you have specific topics? Or do you want to, if we were in real life, I'd give you all like little, you know, Docs and you could vote, but I don't know how to do that. That's not going on. We'll work with what we have. Yeah. Yeah. So given that we want at least three quarters of that, maybe it's more of an exercise of pulling out what we know. Shouldn't make the list is maybe another way to approach, approach this. So for example, the art in public places, isn't there a separate board that discusses that I didn't quite understand. What the relevance to. Crab is for that one. I think. Sorry. Steve, could you respond to that? Sure. Yeah. Sorry. Steve Ranzweil senior project manager. We try to work with a IPP as much as we possibly can to integrate art into our new parts. We're possible. And we're also tasked with working with the. AIP coordinator and the artist to integrate. Art into our existing parts. So you have to think about things as far as. Safety. Vandalism, that sort of stuff. So we are actively involved with the IPP program. Because a lot of the art pieces that are placed are within our public properties, which. Are obviously a lot of our parks. Need more than that, Nicholas. Steve, I'm going to ask on there. I'm guessing that this wouldn't be, that wouldn't take up a whole meeting. I would imagine. That that would be just, you know, AIP P would let us know what, what they. Envision going and we'd say, Hey, that looks cool. Or that doesn't look so cool. Yeah. And. 15 minutes done. Somewhat correct. Yes. I think it could be handled with an update. If we're working with the IPP on an art piece. The parks board does not get any sort of vote as far as what the art piece is going to be. That's the IPP board. That gets to vote on that. So. Yes. You're right. No, Steve. Okay. I'm in. Welcome. I'd love to at least hear from everyone sort of what you think is most important. I want to make sure that we get what you think is most important on to the agendas. And then I think we can fill in other things. We're able. The question for me. No, we're sorry. We're in the process of talking about potential. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My board meeting topic. Sorry. Yeah. Nicholas. Go ahead. Okay. So now I'll just focus on what priority was. So it's probably to me a seven and eight or the combo. Right. Discussions with the sustainability water boards. As well as the potential. Got restrictions and something that I think would be. Pretty pertinent. And something that we want to focus on. Thank you. Other board members. My two most important would be number four, the new rec facility. And some combination of nine and 10, a new outdoor pool or renovation of the sunset pool. I guess as another one, I would also be interested in the. Missing sidewalks trails. I know we've seen that maybe it wasn't last year, the year before. We've seen that. We've seen that. We've seen that. We've seen that sometime you did this before Steve, but it's always a reminder of what things were supposed to be day dreaming about and getting out and visiting and stuff. Great. Thanks. So I think from the several discussions we had. Last year about the rec center and then the work that. That I guess. I think we're going to hear the follow up about the rec center. And what. The public thinks about the rec center. Based on what the plan was there. And then. And if the new council is interested in bringing that forward. And that sort of thing. So I think that's one of my top ones. Missing sidewalks and trails. Always. Top priority for me. I think the CIP is always a good one to go through. And it's always a good one to go through. And it's always a good one to go through. And it's always a good one to evaluate. And to kind of weigh in on. And there's a fourth one. One that sort of comes up over and over again. And then we don't really discuss about it. It's on that maintenance side, especially when we kind of pair it with CIP. There's always talk about. With the CIP. Here comes. New maintenance for new projects. But we don't really have a sustainable plan of how do we implement all the things that we currently own. And so I don't know if that was what. I was sort of intended as, as part of. Timbers presentation. Or it was. More very specific of what he does during the summer or something. But I think that's right. That's what we're hoping to present. Okay. That'd be great. And. I have another thought, which is this since we have councilman Watters on the call hate to put you on the spot, but. Just to stay ahead of the curve. Councilman waters. Do you see. City council things on this list that we should be prepared for or hit the ground. You know, already that we know about or have thought about. You, you expect that they're going to ask us about. Thanks for the question, Dan. I would have commented. Under board comments. Or raise the question, what is it that I can, that I'll, that you would, that I could bring to this group as a liaison that would be of greatest value to your work. And obviously that would be one of them, you know, what's kind of in the, in the queue or in the conversation with council. There are always. A park recreation and open space issues. That the council is paying attention to what I will do. What I'll bring to these meetings are what's in a queue. The next month or six weeks out. So I'll, I'll give you a heads up of what's coming right now. I would not say that we've had an active conversation about. About a new rec center. I've had that conversation with individually with folks. I do think we are about to receive. The results of the library feasibility study. And I think when we get that, I think it's, I think that it would be a real important conversation. I think that would be a missed opportunity. I think that would be a missed opportunity. For you to talk about what your aspirations are in relationship to a couple of other big. Potential proposals that are going to be presented to the council and to the community potentially. And I think that would be, I think the timing would be a missed opportunity if. If you weren't ready to. To be in that conversation with and what else. In addition to library issues and performing arts and arts. Issues or considerations. Do you have a specific suggestion on time frame. For that counseling. I wish I did. I, the. I was in a meeting earlier. Or a late last week. Wondering where is that library feasibility study we were supposed to have a couple of months ago. I. Paige, I think that's, I think that I think it's soon. I think in the first quarter of 2022. I think that would be the results of the library study. I think. I'm hoping that the council receive. A presentation and some, maybe some recommendations from the library advisory board. But there's a trifecta. I've had some of this conversation with David and Jeff. We've got there some big. Big potential proposals. That are going to come out of the library feasibility study, the performing arts. And, and I know that there's energy in this discussion about. Where to go with recreation centers. And I think the time is, is coming this year. And I think. You need to join that conversation in the first quarter of 2022. I'm guessing. I'm happy to. The time comes to go into as much of that detail and. Strategy and what people are thinking and, you know, what. You know, where you might want to go and not want to go with just conceptual ideas or whatever, whatever value I can add to your discussions. I'll do my best. Yes, all of that. Would be great. The nose or Aaron. Do you want to add. What your priorities would be for board agenda. I'll go ahead and go. I think cost recovery is important. I'd like to see what's going on with cost recovery and what we're thinking about that. I think recreation and special events kind of. Figuring out what we're reprioritizing because. Everything was canceled. And we have a really great opportunity to. Get rid of some things and bring some new things on. I think that would be really interesting. I think my top priority is always sustainability. I think that would be really important. I think that would be really important. I think that would be really important. I would say sustainability and water board. But I think that also goes with button rock preserve. And then. If I got to vote for five, not four. Zero waste. Great. Thank you. And I'm excited about. Traveling on all those missing sidewalks and trails. I think that's a field trip. That'll be fun. That's six. Yeah. Yeah. So being living in southwest long one, I would definitely be interested in new rec center, which was proposed. And the upgrades at the tri creek park. Those are the top priorities for myself. That is in my mind. And then the next one I'm more interested in. Upgradation of the garden acre spark where the cooker pitches, it has been a lot of issues with the water clogging in, into that area. And the, that's specific sports is being helped or moved. Time to time from there. So. Look, look for the oppression of garden acre. Great. Thank you. I'm just trying to make a list over here too. So we can. I'm just trying to make a list over here, too, so we can follow up. I'll just add that I'm really interested in hearing about the master planning and, you know, updates, both as comprehensive review of the Envision, Longmont, and the specific department master plan. So definitely want us to be involved in those conversations. Continuing the new recreation center facility is that conversation is really important, too. I think, and I actually see that as kind of connected with the other conversations about pools and such. I also am really interested in the kind of long term maintenance of our parks and open space and also how we as a city are thinking about making sure that we continue to prioritize both our existing and our new parks and open spaces as we continue to grow and develop so we don't lose those opportunities. And I also this is more just an information topic, but I'd love to hear what the city is thinking about anything related to funding from the infrastructure. I understand a lot of that funding is expected to come through local government. So, at some point, once I don't know what the city is thinking about that or if you have a plan for taking advantage of potential infrastructure funding, I think it'd be really interesting to hear about that as it relates to our subject area. Anything else, Jeff or David, that you would like to add on there. I'm not supposed to add, but I think that this conversation definitely help because I think look at those priorities we can look at some of those other ones that either if we have to remove some, it'd be easy to remove those but other ones I think we could really, we could make a 10 minute presentation just so that the board gets an idea of what we're talking about. I think two pages of ones I really just want to make sure that again we can try to tighten those presentations up on button rock and the master plans because those will be items that we'll be asking the board to to respond to and vote on so definitely need to make sure those are on there but if you guys have other priorities will try to keep those as tight as possible. So we hit those other items but definitely make sure you're informed enough that you can make good decisions as you're helping us move that forward. Great. Thanks, David. David, can we get extra credit reading on rock. Thanks. I would get all those links and stuff as we get more information on the master plans will keep you engaged because it'll be, there will be public outreach meetings you guys are welcome to go to those as well as his residents. But again as you go to those sometimes it's nice to have a little background of what we're trying to accomplish so our goal like Jeff said with trying to do and kind of umbrella sort of guiding process with the vision longmont and these other updates within that that gives us all moving in the same direction and tries to keep us from having so many meetings for the public that they don't have to go to a wreck one and then a vision one and then a parts natural resources so just trying to help facilitate that conversation so yes. Lots of reading. And so second Councilman is there anything else you wanted to add in terms of topics we should consider. No, it's a good list. A big potential initiatives. So, yeah, I think as much of that ground as you can cover you'll have a rich productive year. Go ahead. I have a question again about number one and you sent, I guess, the all those links were sent out. Are all of these things the PRT OS rec and vision, are they all getting updated this year that I understand that correctly. Yes, David or, or. Yeah, that's. And that was one thing again that's the reason is we all started looking at how many updates we're going to be there if you can imagine each one of those having his own public meeting, and then having staff members that are going to be subject matter experts on each and every one of those. It'd be a lot of ask from staff and also the public so we really are trying to figure out how we work with with planning to say can we do sort of a guiding overarching plan that brings these other pieces into and try to maximize people's involvement. We looked at some other agencies like Denver that have done similar projects so it's not, you know, totally making something up, and Aaron five stick with planning as the one that's going to be trying to help us take this forward. And Jeff mentioned we'll probably be taking this to Council I think all these documents were approved to see if you process. I'm not sure Council even recognizes how many were out there, and kind of how that might look at whether they have an idea what we're thinking of doing a staff. It might look a little bit different they've seen in the past, and it might be a way to use some synergies and funds as well to get stuff done. Thanks. Okay, unless there are any other additions. We'll plan to work with Jeff and David and they will work with staff and we'll try to get this out over the year and see how much we can sit in making sure that we give emphasis to the topics that were prioritized. We'll also hopefully try to do one or maybe even to field trips or field meetings this year was really great to get out when we did that last year. If we continue to have this warm winter weather we could maybe even do an earlier season field trip that will say, I haven't run that by anyone to see what kind of response I get. So then we'll come back to that sound okay Jeff and David, if we work together to kind of sketch this out for the year. Of course, yeah. Great. Exciting. Lots of great topics. Okay. So next move to discussing items from the packet updates. And so, as a reminder, this is generally where we as the board are able to ask questions specifically about things that were included in the board packet. So I'm going to start with those from David about parks and natural resources and I'm from Jeff and staff about all the recreation programs. Does anyone have any questions that they would like to ask for clarification or more information on those updates. Yes, so for Steve. In the packet. The resilience same frame design slated to start in 2021 for one of the sections and I don't know if that was old information or there's an update to it. So defining for you. Scott yeah it's it's it's have to do with the Army Corps of Engineers. They were supposed to give us a 60% plan sets in December. It's January. They want to go out to bid by May, but we haven't seen any plans so I think that may date will probably push. Anything from the feds yet on that, but we are still waiting for the plans between Boston Avenue and Sunset Street. That's where they're going to build the levy between the Isaac Walton pond and the creek. The Boston Avenue bridge project, hopefully will be out to bid here in the next four or five weeks. And that'll be probably a 15 month project. The Army Corps project will be at least 12 months so that's why we're saying that the the Greenway trail will be closed between Price Road and Sunset Street for the next 18 to 24 months. Thank you. Any other questions from the packet update. My one question tonight, not only one question tonight is to Dan Wilford you, there was a few things about land acquisition but the last sentence is we would like crab to consider an open space sales tax extension and or increase November 2022. Surely you're going to give us more information than that. I thought last November we discussed, oh that's that the thing doesn't run out until 2030 or something so is this serious we're going to do this vote in November. Again, from our perspective we shared that with Jeff and it didn't rise to the top for this list, but certainly from that perspective cash flow and dollars available for land acquisitions and is certainly few and far between at this point in time. As you saw in my update we just spent $5.5 million for 130,000 acres, just to the west of St. Frank State Park. As I said, money is very tight and we need to be extremely selective looking at consideration for an open space sales tax hopefully looking at it maybe in perpetuity. Similar to the transportation tax would be of an advantage to our open space and natural areas programs. So I think, Dan Olson I think you know just again get that out there for this group to talk about I think we need to keep in perspective of you know rec centers and other things that Harold and city managers and councils have other as items they need to put in front of the public but I think we really do want to start talking about that as Dan said we doesn't run out for a while, but funds are tight, and we can then rebond if we have additional capacity in that too so it does help us. But it's the thing that I think this group is the right group to have that conversation then we can continue that conversation internally with council members and with all the other items that city has to kind of put out there in front of the public but definitely a good place to start the conversation at least. Clearly a decision of priorities. Okay, it's just sooner than I. I got the impression of our last meeting and so I wanted to make sure I didn't misunderstand. Got it. All those in favor of. I tried David. Thank you Jeff. Okay, any other questions from the packet updates. So nine's a mistake that should not be on the agenda. Wait, what's going on items I thought we changed that. Okay. So we will move next to items from staff. Do any staff have items they'd like to discuss with the board. I want to respond to Scott's question earlier. So we haven't done anything with the rec center based on what Tim was saying tonight will start meeting with the administration and kind of get some parameters and some guidance of how they want us to move forward with that and we'll get working on the survey that we had talked about. I think it was in September or October. That that's all I had. Oh, one other thing. Just one quick. Just, just everybody prize aware of this but the number of staff that we are able to hire right now is very difficult that there are, there are times where if our staff gets sick or cove it or have a. They want to go on vacation we are struggling to keep facilities open. We're having, I would guess at least three staff a day come down with the virus and prior within the next two weeks can have to look at closing one or two facilities to be able to keep the third one open. So it is difficult times right now we continue to meet with the staff from human human resources on other ways that we can try to advertise to get staff. We've done two job fairs on the third and then yesterday at the rec center. The first one we had about 20 people show up. And yesterday we had, it was around 16, but the folks that are there are you know we interviewed them right away. And those that are qualified were trying to work to get them hired as soon as possible. So, it is a challenging time right now. Paige I just wanted to add from staff things. It's been a little bit of a long time but the naming for workman neighborhood park as far as you know Gallo Park is currently planned to go to city council on the 25th of January. So, there's been a lot of people who are interested in that happening so that should be a good meeting. And then I think February 22 is when we're looking to name south over basin park clever meadows park. That's the current plan in the council agenda so just want to make the board aware of that. Great. Thanks to any other items from staff. And unless there's other questions about our update, the only update that I have is really for Steve and that it's a six to three score with Alabama leading in the second quarter. Yeah, I've been tracking on my phone to thank you. Bill goals I cannot believe this so I want to go home and watch the defensive battle. Okay, anything else relevant to the board from the staff. Okay, I am from the board. So do board members have anything that they would like to bring up doesn't have to be related to what was in the packet. I just had a follow up on wanted to see how it was going with the vaccination only Memorial gym. No, I'm a well Jim I think went vaccinated people only December 16 or something like that just wanted to see what the public's response has been and you know if it's been well received and it's gone swimmingly or you had the typical folks screaming and yelling who don't actually ever go there. Well, there were a few of those and you know there was there was something on Facebook and we were told there were like 90 comments and of those 90 comments, 80 of them didn't even live in the state of Colorado, which is just bizarre. So we, I would say we had two real legitimate comments after we went to the vaccinated facility. Work with with those two folks I think one of them chose to try the rec center and the other one was waiting for us to stop doing the vaccinated facility. Today we were getting 38 more people a week so it did make a difference. As of today we're no longer doing that based on the new recommendation from Boulder County Public Health that everybody needs to wear a mask they really recommended that that no longer be offered so we get we were notified of that last day if people five days of notice and then required mask again starting today. If if we can we would probably look at doing that again in the future. Again overall the people that actually were working out at the Memorial building really liked it. They were very pleased with it. Thank you. Any other items from the board. Yeah page I just will reiterate, there are only two reasons I think for liaisons of count for council agents to these boards and commissions. One is if there's a way for us to add value to your work, the others to make certain that council members here what you wanted to hear. So, you know, I'll think hard about what I can bring to this board in terms of adding value, and I'll listen carefully so if there are things you want me to take back. Don't be bashful about letting me know.  Thanks so much we appreciate that. And along those lines I did want to note that part of the wheat that board had, I guess probably September was our most recent conversation about the new recreation facility and I think we had really broad interest on this board to restart that conversation and whatever way was appropriate and we had talked a lot about you heard the references to surveys and you know public engagement because I think we were really interested in where the people of Longmont are with that right now and really doing some robust public engagement and surveys to inform a next iteration of that. So I anticipate that as you with the new council. Start talking about that again just know that this board previously has been really interested in that, bringing that conversation back and understanding where the city is now and how we can move that forward really effectively. And I don't know where for, for Jeff and his team, as he just said, you've got across the city. Every department is struggling with staffing, just the basic functions of city government. It is a real challenge. Given that if given that, you know, I mustering together the group that could put together the right kind of survey, right. What you ask is going to be important. And now you ask it as well as well as who you ask it of. But the timing on that's going to be sooner rather than later in terms of in terms of shaping a survey and doing data collection. Because I, I just think we have a remarkable, maybe a once in a generation opportunity coming up this year, relatively soon, parks and recreation ought to be part of it.  And, and I think it's possible. If we're creative enough to put together the kind of proposal to a community that would bring our recreation community, our arch community and our friends in the library together. Right. All pulling in the same direction on a grand proposal to the community. But, but we have to be ready for that. Jeff, I hope that sounds familiar. Because 20 years ago, we did this right. Senior Center Museum Rec Center bingo. Interesting. I wasn't here for that. Okay, I did have one more one question unless there anyone else has anything. I was just wondering, I saw in the update Jeff in the recreation update that it seemed like at least in the early winter, things were going well with the ice program. And every time I've been there. It's been good attendance, but I wondered if you could just give a quick update on how things are going with that I civilian and with the programming. Yeah, like, like anything outdoors right now they it's very successful and, you know, when I talked to staff over the holidays we were averaging 150 per day, sometimes 150 per session. And so there really was no room for anyone else to be there during the holidays. This time of year after school starts going, you know, the kids go back to school things slow down. And that's when we really start doing the programming with hockey and learn to skate and figure skating that it's it's been a really good year so far. I will bring our included in the packet next month, kind of financially where we're at as compared to 2020 so that you can see that. That'd be great. Thank you. Okay. Any other items before we move to adjourn. Right. If not, then, can I get a motion to adjourn the meeting. I'm going to get the meeting. Thanks Aaron. Dan, do you want a second. I'll second that. All those in favor. Great. Thank you. The meeting is adjourned.

All right, so Mike now has ten minutes. It was gonna be strict ten minutes And I'll point out that he did not fall asleep once during this entire day, right? Now I have not Confirmed with the Berkeley people, but I think I hold the record because he only fell asleep once during my thesis defense It's usually three times So this is so I've learned now if you want him not to fall asleep just talk about him all day, right? So All right, you Mike you have ten minutes you have the floor and as usual the microphone is too low Well, I want to thank all of you for coming I'm just really moved and I especially want to thank Whoever put up all the money to make to make all the food happen and I'm sure Andy had nothing to do with it And but I'm I'm I'm really moved and It was mentioned at the beginning Jerry held said we were lucky that we happened to You know choose eunuchs because Ingress wouldn't have been anything without that piece of luck So I just want to go through a few Vignettes in my life That were really significant, but weren't planned So so the first one was You know I graduated from college in 1965 and That was exactly the year the Vietnam War is going full blast and the draft still exists So my choice is when I graduated from college was go to Vietnam go to graduate school go to Canada or go to jail So it doesn't you don't have to be very smart to figure out which one I chose But I had no interest in going to graduate school when when I got out of college There was a TV show called Route 66 Which those of you who were pretty old may remember it's about two guys who drive around in a Corvette Then have all kinds of interesting things happen to them So I wanted to figure out what to do with my life by doing the Route 66 thing and that wasn't available So I sat out the war in graduate school And I didn't want to be there. I would never have gone to graduate school. I'd have never been here That was truly significant and had nothing to do and the only thing it had to do with was Richard Nixon Second second thing that was really significant was fast-forward to 1971 and so I'm an assistant professor at Berkeley and as people have said you have five or six years to get famous at whatever and so the clock is running and My as people have mentioned my PhD thesis is truly ridiculous And it was just completely evident that that there were no two or three papers to come out of Doing more of the same stuff so so I had no way of Leveraging my PhD thesis You know largely thanks to my PhD thesis advisor What's more I was I was a terrible writer and So you have to immediately start writing papers for for publication doing grant proposals and So the first two years were just really painful at trying to figure out how to write So I had to choose a new area to do something in and learn how to write and as Jenny Dugan told me recently Even without these problems an assistant professor is basically like being a graduate school student and having to teach So I hated being an assistant professor. I absolutely hated it and The thing that was monumentally significant was Gene Wong Who who you heard from whose picture you saw a few minutes ago? Telling me what let's let's start doing this data by database stuff it was all him and That was such a lucky accident and so he took me under his wing and we started doing Ingress Now it didn't bother either of us that we had no database experience no system software experience No programming experience Well, you know here it didn't bother us that we knew nothing about the mountain We are going to try and climb And I think all of the system are and Ingress people, you know This was the totally green field and and I think if I had any idea how hard it was to build a database system I don't think I ever would have started But I think you know that the takeaway is that was a really fortuitous thing that happened and It didn't occur to us to think we couldn't do it and I think that's the same true for the system our folks So that was just truly significant and was a complete accident The third thing that I think is was really significant was as has been mentioned this morning There were a whole bunch of relational database projects at the time and almost all of the academic ones would get a little bit of stuff working and then stop and about 1975 We decided that we were going to make Ingress really work. So You know we didn't I didn't realize is at the time But you put in the first 90% of the effort and you get 90% of the way there And then you put in the next 90% of the effort to get the the remaining 10% And we continued to make the system really work And I think that Jerry Held and Eric Alman and Peter Krebs the people you mentioned this morning did all the heavy lifting And I think that was just I don't know hardly anybody in academia ever puts in the remaining 90% and I have no idea why we did it and You know it it wasn't a deliberate There was nothing deliberate about it, you know, we just for some reason kept going I Think the fourth thing that was I think really significant was about 1978 Ingress was very popular in universities because of the acceptance of Unix and so Arizona State University Was considering putting their student records database up on Ingress in 1978 all 40,000 students worth and they could get over they had to run an Unsupported operating system from AT&T They could get over they had to run an unsupported database system from these guys at Berkeley But the project went down in flames when they realized that there was no cobalt available for Unix And they were a cobalt shop So it just became really clear that if we're gonna have an impact unsupported operating system unsupported database system and no commercial environment were just deadly so we had to start a company and You know, we had to move it out of the university and I of course at the time had no idea how to do this So you just assume that you can figure it out and start doing it And I think the the secret of success is to just not not realize that things are hard and so so we managed to start Ingress Corporation and the whole model that Has been mentioned that every other company I've ever done has been the same model Because once you say boy this stuff works you can do this more than once that sort of everything else sort of followed and so I think the takeaway is Never think something's hard because everything is always hard and you just you just do it and and luck has a lot to do with it and you know, and I think the issue of luck is you may have to tee up more than one ball and Sooner or later, you're gonna get lucky. So I feel just incredibly blessed The database management has turned out to be really important. It wasn't anything I ever chose and that I am where I am because I would not have chosen it and so Somebody mentioned that that one thing I've said is that you're you're driving down the freeway And you see an opportunity to shift left into a faster lane You know, you can either choose to do it or not and at that moment Shift left and see what happens. So thank you very much for coming


product of first three terms of the gp is 10000 so you can find out no there could be any number any number of terms if 6 is added to its second term and 7 is added to its third term then the terms become in AP that means the first three terms become in AP find the GP product of first three terms of GP 1000 again what do you need to you have to take into R sorry into a into a R these are the three terms in GP always and their product is 1000 so what is a what is the value of a a is equal to 10 right so the second term is 10 okay now it is said that if 6 is added to second term so what will be the second term now 6 is added so 16 will be the second term right now a by R and they are saying a and a are these were originally in GP so 10 upon R 10 and 10 R are in GP now they're saying add 6 to the second term so 10 plus 6 16 and add 7 to the third term so 10 R plus 7 along with the first term they are now in AP they are in AP so what is the criteria for AP consecutive terms will have common difference same so 16 minus 10 upon R must be equal to 10 R plus 7 minus 16 is it it yes so hence what will you get you will get 10 R plus 10 upon R and here 7 minus 16 is minus 9 minus 25 this is the equation right multiply by our whole equation you will get 10 minus 25 R is equal to 0 and divide by 5 you will get 2 R square plus 2 minus 5 R is 0 yes mean of this thing or same thing this is where the mean comes from so B minus a is equal to C minus B then 2 B is equal to a plus C or B is a plus C by 2 right it's same thing now so when you do this correct solve this quadratic it is 2 R square again minus 5 R can be written as minus 4 R minus R plus 2 is equal to 0 right so this is 2 R R minus 2 minus 1 R minus 2 is 0 so R minus 2 and 2 R minus 1 is 0 so that means R is equal to 2 or R is equal to half right so 2 and so now let's find out a is 10 and R is 2 in that case it is 5 10 and 20 and if a is 10 and R is half then it is 20 10 5 so these are the two deep


Hello everybody, HoodedCoverCommander788 here and I'm back with another vintage GI Joe Toy review and this week we are going to look at another figure from 1982. I did not intend for September to be a theme month but we've been rolling with these 1982 figures so we might as well finish up the month with another one. Why is it important that we look at these 1982 figures? It's important because you have got to know your roots whether it be music or art or literature you've got to understand where you came from to make any sense of where you're going and these 1982 figures were the foundation of 80s and 90s GI Joe so with these reviews we are building our foundation so when we look at figures that came later we will understand them better because we took the time to build the foundation so let's build a little more this week we're gonna look at a bad guy this time let's look at the 1982 and the 1983 versions of the Cobra officer this is the Cobra officer the enemy of GI Joe he was first introduced in 1982 in this so-called straight arm version it was called straight arm because it had only one point of articulation here at the elbow he could not swivel his arm in 1983 he was reissued with swivel arm battle grip which added this swivel at the bicep so he could hold his weapon with a two-handed grip the straight arm version was available only in 1982 the swivel arm version was available in 1983 and 1984 it was discontinued in 1985 and in 1985 the closest to her replacement for this figure was the crimson guard but the crimson guard wasn't really a replacement for the Cobra officer the crimson guard was a new separate unit within Cobra the Cobra officer was available in a lot of ways other than carded for retail he was available with the 1982 Cobra missile command headquarters he was also in a JC penny exclusive three-pack in which he came with the mortar that originally came with short fuse in 1986 through 1987 he was available from hasbro direct as part of their original adventure team set in 1989 he was available as an individual bagged figure so this guy was available for a long time and in a lot of different ways in 1984 the entire mold of the swivel arm Cobra officer was reused for the stinger driver and came with the 1984 stinger Jeep in 1989 the entire mold for the swivel arm Cobra officer was reused for the python patrol python trooper let's take a look at the Cobra officer's accessory and he came with only one this AK-47 assault rifle the AK-47 was also known as the Kalashnikov AK so what I'm saying is the AK-47 is aka the Kalashnikov AK the AK-47 is a Russian weapon that first saw service in 1949 and is still widely used around the world it's used a lot because of its generally low production cost and its overall reliability the Cobra officer's original accessory is a very dark gray in 1984 in battle gear accessory pack number two they reissued the same weapon but in a blue color and you often see Cobra officers coming with this blue rifle but that blue even though it does closely match the color of the uniform that is not the original the original is this dark gray I don't know if the Cobra officer rifle would be considered a rare accessory but I did have a heck of a time finding a loose one there is some controversy as to whether the Cobra officer was originally intended to come with this AK-47 the 1982 Cobra soldier came with a dragon of sniper rifle which is a more specialized weapon and the officer came with the more generalized assault rifle you would expect that to be reversed to add to the confusion when python patrol came out the mold for the Cobra soldier was reused for the python patrol officer and the mold for the Cobra officer was reused for the python patrol trooper and so the officer then had the sniper rifle and the trooper had the assault rifle there are some fan theories out there and some have speculated that somewhere in the design process the Cobra officer got the accessory that was intended for the Cobra soldier well if that's the case then there was also a mix-up on the card art because the packaging for the Cobra officer clearly depicts him with this AK-47 let's take a look at the articulation on the Cobra officer the 1982 version of the Cobra officer had the typical articulation for figures of that year meaning he could turn his head from left to right he could also lift his arm up at the shoulder about so far and he could swivel at the shoulder all the way around he did have that hinge at the elbow so he could move at the elbow about 90 degrees he was held together with a rubber o-ring that looped around the inside so he could move at the torso a little bit he could move his legs apart about so far he could move his leg at the hip about 90 degrees and he could bend at the knee about 90 degrees the swivel arm Cobra officer had the same articulation as the straight arm Cobra officer but he did have that new point of articulation at the bicep he could now swivel his arm all the way around at the bicep let's take a look at the sculpt design and color of the Cobra officer and let's make a quick note here you can see my Cobra officers are different colors this straight arm version is darker than the swivel arm version however this is probably attributable to sun damage this has been exposed to a lot of sunlight the color on it has darkened but the original color for the Cobra officer should pretty closely match the color for the Cobra soldier that would be the original color and this one appears to be discolored the head features a blue non-removable helmet and a black mask that goes over his nose on G.I. Joe team members I prefer to have the helmets be removable but I don't really mind the non-removable helmets on Cobra figures the head for the Cobra officer is almost identical to the Cobra soldier but as you can see the Cobra officer has this chevron molded onto his helmet and the Cobra soldier does not the chest features that classic Cobra blue uniform and he has webgear more elaborate webgear than the Cobra soldier and some additional paint apps we have gray on the shoulders and we have this gray device here on the belt his straps carry on to the back again with a different profile than what you see on the Cobra soldier and then on his chest is this very troublesome silver Cobra sigil this silver paint is notorious for being very easy to rub off it's nowadays it's hard to find a Cobra officer with his Cobra sigil completely perfect in mint condition a lot of them are scratched away like this and some of them the Cobra sigil is completely gone this is actually the best one out of all of the Cobra officers I have here are all of the Cobra officers I have with their Cobra sigils in various states this one looks like he's got some road rash there this one is just barely visible and this one here is completely worn away his arms are blue long sleeves he features these rings here at the cuff and black gloves there was a change between 1982 and 1983 the 1982 version had this single ring at his cuff and the 1983 version had a double ring at the cuff there's a very minor variant on the straight arm version some of the straight arm Cobra officers featured thick thumbs and some featured thin thumbs and this I believe is the thin thumb version but my straight arm Cobra officer also has the ultra rare no thumbs variant the 1983 Cobra officers arms were reused for the swivel arm Cobra commander version 1.5 however the straight arm version of Cobra commander did not reuse the straight arms Cobra officers arms the straight arm Cobra commander had unique arms another good way to tell the Cobra officer apart from the Cobra soldier is the gloves Cobra officer had black gloves and the Cobra soldier had blue gloves this waste piece features a black belt it's got some pouches pretty plain on the back we've got some pockets there the trousers are the same color as the shirt the waste pieces on the 1982 and 1983 Cobra officers are the same however they do have different date stamps on the butt on 1982 Cobra officer it says in copyright 1982 Hasbro on the 1983 Cobra officer it says copyright 82 83 Hasbro this waste piece was reused on a lot of other figures it was used on the 1982 Cobra soldier that is the only part that the Cobra officer and the Cobra soldier share even though the figures look a lot alike other than the waste piece they share no other parts it was used on the 1983 his tank driver in 1988 it was used on Tiger Force Duke and it was used on some versions of steel brigade it was used on version 1d and version 1e of steel brigade his legs are blue his right leg is pretty plain nothing there his left leg features a black dagger and then he has some pretty plain black boots the Cobra soldier also features a black dagger on his left leg but it is not the same dagger the one on the Cobra officer is more ornate the Cobra soldier features these really cool knee pads and the Cobra officer does not have knee pads and I got to admit I really like the knee pads and the Cobra soldiers boots are more detailed so with these added details I may prefer the Cobra soldier figure over the Cobra officer let's take a look at the file card and I have two file cards here because I wanted to point out something most of your Cobra officer file cards would have been printed on the back of the card on which the action figure was packaged so on the flip side you'll see some of the artwork from the front of the card like this this would have been from the 1983 swivel arm version because you can see a little bit of the advertisement for the new swivel arm battle grip the Cobra officers that came as a mail away or that came with the 1982 missile command headquarters featured a plain red back like this no artwork on the back this is probably from the missile command headquarters because those figures were actually sealed on the back of the card on a bubble and this has that ripped off whereas the mail away Cobra officers were in bags and the file card was just an insert in the bag so this is probably from the missile command headquarters I do not normally seek out those red back file cards because they're usually a bit more expensive but since I had one I thought I'd show you an example the file card has this faction as Cobra naturally it has a portrait of a Cobra officer it says his specialty is Cobra officer and his codename is the enemy okay this is kind of a weird thing they did on the 1982 Cobra file cards it just said codename the enemy and that's not really a codename they did the same thing on the Cobra soldier who they didn't really call a Cobra soldier they just called Cobra again codename the enemy even Cobra commander his codename was enemy leader in 1983 even the his tank driver still had codename the enemy that was the year after this in 1983 they were still doing that and then in 1984 the Cobra stinger driver carried over this codename the enemy this file card is textually almost identical to the Cobra officer with just some minor changes it says file name unknown and that's not really true Cobra would have had many officers so this file card really does not feature an individual this really should say file name various there would have been a lot of Cobra officers within the Cobra organization his primary military specialty is infantry secondary military specialty is artillery and intelligence and his birthplace is various countries which is correct they should have essentially done the same thing for the file name it has his grade as 04 or equivalent and 04 is a major and I don't think that's correct that would give him the same rank as major blood and I don't think a Cobra officer should have the same rank as a major no pun intended character like major blood in my view a Cobra officer should have any officer rank second lieutenant and up but would be below any of the command officers like major blood the Baroness Destro and Cobra commander this section says Cobra officers are frontline fighters who lead Cobra attack units into battle many are also believed to be operating as spies at defense plants nuclear power facilities etc all are martial arts experts masters of disguise deceit and demolitions what they're describing here is a fifth column which is a group that is intended to undermine an enemy from within and that really pretty well describes what the crimson guard was intended to do qualified expert AK 47 assault rifle PM 63 machine pistol m16 ingram m11 submachine gun there's a quote here down at the bottom that says Cobra officers are dedicated to destroying GI Joe and the American way of life beware they are extremely dangerous enemies exclamation point end quote this file card doesn't tell you anything about the personality of a Cobra officer but it isn't intended to as I said earlier there would have been many Cobra officers within Cobra so this file card is describing all Cobra officers now this may seem kind of plain but for kids in 1982 this probably would have been enough to get them excited about this new enemy of GI Joe let's talk about rank within Cobra when the Cobra officer came out the main difference between him and the Cobra soldier is the Cobra soldier had a red Cobra symbol and the Cobra officer had a silver Cobra symbol so that silver symbol seemed to be some kind of officer designation in 1983 the his tank driver also an officer had the silver Cobra symbol but in 1984 the Baroness definitely an officer had the red Cobra symbol and Cobra commander the highest ranking Cobra officer of them all had the red Cobra symbol in 1983 the Cobra Viper pilot who reused the Cobra soldiers mold and who was not an officer had the silver Cobra symbol both the Cobra officer and Cobra commander had these little emblems here on their collars and that probably means something but the rank insignia within Cobra was never very clearly defined looking at the Cobra officer overall the first obvious thing about them is he looks almost identical to the Cobra soldier in fact if that silver Cobra symbol is worn off at a distance it's almost impossible to tell them apart these blue uniforms would work pretty well at night they would be pretty stealthy at night but they're not very good camouflage at all for daytime operations Cobra seems to have a different philosophy though they want to be seen they want their enemy to see a huge wave of Cobra officers and Cobra soldiers coming over the hill and they want that to inspire fear in their enemy the Cobra officer was depicted in various GI Joe media but he often got folded in with the Cobra soldier I guess when you're drawing throngs of Cobra troopers there's not much point in differentiating between soldier and officer the GI Joe comic book tended to focus on one particular Cobra officer called Scarface and he was a part of a story arc in the early comic books featuring snake eyes Quinn and Dr. Venom the Scarface character started a bit of an urban legend among my friends since the character was featured in the comic book naturally we expected to get an action figure but there was no action figure for Scarface but the legend went that some Cobra officers were sculpted with scars under the eyes like the Scarface character but there was no designation on the package you just had to look at the action figure and see if you could find the ones with the scar so when we went to the toy department we would look at all the Cobra officers we would stare very closely at each one to see if we could find the one with the scar but of course we never found one because there never was one here's an interesting little bit of history about Cobra originally Hasbro did not design any bad guys for GI Joe in fact if you look at the earliest carded example of GI Joe figures from 1982 it does not feature any Cobra figures on the cross-sell on the back of the cards the idea for Cobra came from Marvel comics editor Archie Goodwin who suggested an organization similar to Hydra in the Marvel comics universe when we did finally get Cobra action figures the only figures that were available at retail were the Cobra soldier and the Cobra officer Cobra commander wasn't available until later as an exclusive mail away offer what a fortuitous suggestion on the part of Archie Goodwin would GI Joe have been as popular as it became without its nemesis Cobra the Cobra officer was a good figure for its time but he was overshadowed by the more detailed and more specialized Cobra troopers that came later like the snow serpent like the Cobra viper but one thing I like about the Cobra officer is he is still an officer and that means he's a leader so a Cobra officer could lead a squad of any of these more specialized Cobra's except for the Crimson Guard I kind of see the Crimson Guard as a totally separate unit within Cobra with its own unique command structure I really like seeing the Cobra officer in a command position over these other Cobra troopers because amidst all of these more specialized troops I really enjoy seeing that classic Cobra blue that was my review of the 1982 and 1983

Welcome to psychic medium Tony Green. I am said psychic medium Tony Green green. I can't even say my own last name now. Oh, my goodness, you guys, you guys, it's December and I live in a state where it gets cold and snowy does what I have an idea though, that would, what anybody like to adopt me for the winters. You must live in a warm state. That's all I'm saying, just adopt me for the winter. I mean, I'm pretty easy to care for, not easy to maintain, but I'm easy to care for. Hey, Heather. So on YouTube, we already have some amazing people with us. I love you guys so much. We have Nancy. Hey, Nancy. And then we have Raphael. Brazilian Poppy and Raphael. There are a lot of people in the chat that have questions for you. You may answer their chat questions if you're comfortable with that. We have Heather and Vaughn. I'm Patrick. Hey Patrick, Shonda. Hi Shonda. Welcome to the show. Okay, you guys, if you want to chat amongst each other in the chat, you can go ahead and do that if you want to join us live. It's every Monday and Wednesday at noon central time. For those in the chat. Thank you so much for participating. If you are watching live on YouTube, please say hi, join the chat. It's actually a lot of fun, especially for those who are around all the time and are familiar with each other. It's a great time and I love going back and reading the chat. Once I start taking calls, it's a little bit difficult to keep up with the chat and the callers, but hey, we try to make it work. And I have the greatest people in the world, so they're always super-duper patient during the calls and the chat. If you are watching live on YouTube, thank you. You can post a question in the chat and I will try to get to it. If you want to call in live on Monday or Wednesday at noon central or after, the number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. And yes, I do need to close my eyes to remember the number, to remember for some of us who are not like 20. How did we remember all those numbers? Patrick, you know what I'm talking about. Like, we used to have our top 10 phone numbers that we had to have memorized. There wasn't a name and a button. You pushed that remembered it for you. What does our brain do now? Right? Yes, Patrick, absolutely. I want to thank Rude Rangers and WSES. You guys, I went to the WSES site the other day and thank you WSES because people on WSES online, they are like one of my videos or one of my shows, I should say, the numbers are stacking up over there. I was like, oh, look at that. I was a little surprised. But then I looked at another show and not so much. It didn't stack up so much. So yes, yes, it was a good thing though. For a minute, I was like, oh my, the show is catching on. And then I looked at the next show that had like two views and I was like, oh, maybe it's just this particular show. It's good. It's all good. And Rude Rangers. Now Rude Rangers TV streams my shows on podcasts and streaming channels like Roku and Apple and such. And thank you, Rudy, so much for all the work you and your team put in on that. And WSES airs my show live on WSES and then also on, oh yes, on radio stations and podcasts. So I'm on almost every podcast. I do believe I'm on every podcast almost. The ones I know about. And the ones, you know, WSES and Rude Rangers know about. Yeah. So just for those of you who are not aware, a couple weeks ago, I had a concussion. Still recovering a little bit from that. So if my words are backwards, if I stall out for a moment, don't worry. It's like that song. It's all coming back to me now. Why do I? When you touch me like this. Oh, Jesus, it's going to be one of those shows, folks. 18 and over, please. I can tell already this is an adult content show. And I touch you like that. It's like I'm drunk with no alcohol. I don't know what comes after when I touch you like this and you touch me. But I personally know what comes after when I touch you like this and you touch it. But I can't remember what comes next in the show. In the song. The song. Come on, brain. If I tap it enough, will it work appropriately? Oh my gosh.  I'm not even trying to be funny. Stuff just comes out of my mouth.  It's difficult at fancy restaurants, I think. I'm not even going to go down that road. There was a whole other comedy thing after that that I am not going to... Oh, okay. Well, I have to keep reminding me. People are not here because I'm a comedian. People are here because they want to talk to their loved ones on the other side. And guess what? We're going to get to that now. So if you have a question, post...  If you... or call in<PHONE_NUMBER>. And if you'd like to connect with a loved one, I'm happy to help you connect with a loved one. I just need their first name and their relationship to you. Yes. Yes. Okay. When I say your area code, please let me know where you're calling from. Where you're calling from. The rest will fall into place. Most of you know how this works. I can't remember. It's not funny. It's not so funny. Oh my God. Okay. Genevieve. Hey, Genevieve. Okay. So here we go. So I'm going to... there was one question on the chat. Nancy Ramsey. Let's see. She responded down here. Please answer on air. Thank you. Nancy wants to know... Nancy from Oregon. Do you see me finding a love companion in the future? Thank you. Yes, Nancy. I do. Okay. Nancy, I actually think you have a grandmother here or a mother. I'm not sure. She was thinner, more petite and thinner near the end in her hair. She kept her...  And for those of you not watching a little... like a curvy in her back, not shoulders back. Okay. And Nancy, I hear March, April. There's the potential for somebody to come in in March, April.  Is it really? You may know this person or you may have known this person in the past. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.  I am not sending them. No. And don't say you don't want somebody from the past because it doesn't mean it's the guy who did you dirty or the woman who did you dirty. This could be somebody that you met, you know, like a year ago and at the time they might have been involved with someone so nothing ever moved forward or somebody that you know, that you, you know, maybe you dated them in college. I don't know from when in your past they are. Okay. It could even be a past life, but I don't know. So let's just stick with, let's just stick with you know this person and it doesn't, just because you know this person, it doesn't mean you necessarily have already dated this person and gone through the trenches with them. Now, am I a big fan of taking someone back? It depends. Some people want their acts back or the past person back and some people do not. And it depends on what happened. Did you do them dirty? Did they do you dirty or did it just not work out because of timing? I don't know. I don't know. It's up to you. I do say if you are going with someone from the past that you dated, you really need to make sure that whatever dissolved the relationship has been resolved and that you can move forward in a healthy, happy way without, without, without repeating the past. You need to have those really good conversations first. But March, April, somebody that you know, there's the potential Nancy, Nancy Ramsey from Oregon. I hope you don't mind me saying your last name. There's the potential for you to start something with somebody that you already know, somebody who has been in your life previously. Maybe this person had to relocate. Maybe it's somebody who travels for business. Maybe it's a pilot and you can fly all over the way. I don't think it's a pilot. I'm just saying I'm joking. I'm seriously joking. I'm sorry. Whomever this person is, it's somebody that you already know or have known. And I do feel like it's a really good fit. I don't feel like you're going to be like, when this person shows up, I don't feel like you're going to be like, not you again. Because you wouldn't take them back then, right? Or date them, right? And somebody from your past doesn't necessarily again mean somebody you've already dated. It could be somebody that you know that it just never took off. Okay. That's what I have for you. She says, and Nancy says all of the past men that I dated have passed away. Oh, Nancy, you just opened me up for a whole, a whole, I mean, a whole box of little jokes, which I am not going to tell because it would be so inappropriate. I'm sorry, Nancy, that, that, that here's what I'm going to say. They've passed away and I, I, I apologize.  And that is the only joke. I'm going to try to let that be the only joke I tell on that. Nancy, actually, it does, again, it doesn't have to be somebody that you literally dated in the past. It could be somebody you know, or it could be somebody that is an acquaintance. It could be a friend of a family member that you are like aware of or have met. I can't think of the word, but, but it's okay. It's okay, Nancy. Don't worry, March, April, somebody is coming in. And if you do date Nancy, I would say stay with her because those who don't, they don't fare well. I'm kidding. I'm sorry, Nancy. I had to.  That's all I'm saying. Okay. I am going to go to the first caller who is 917 917. What's your name and where are you calling from? Oh, hey Tony, this is Bryn from actually I'm in Sanita, California at the moment, Bryn, Bryn. Good, Bryn. It's been a minute. It's been a minute. How have you been? I'm okay. Hanging in there. It's been kind of a rough year. I just wanted to see if there's any, I need to hear from my spirit guides or your department, a loved one or whether any good message of hope or something coming. Okay. So Bryn, I feel like for you, the first thing I hear is give me a second here. So Bryn, there is going to be some, I can't say the word. I think the, I don't understand this message, but again, the message isn't for me. So I'm personally, I'm not supposed to understand it, but I'm just going to tell you the words I'm hearing and hopefully in some way they won't make sense to you. So I think the word I'm supposed to say is oscillating. Oh, interesting. Oscillating. So there are some changes coming in. And I don't, again, it's like they're using this word, like everything is, everything is, everything is spinning or going around. Everything is going around, but it's not going to go around the same way that it went around before, like, excuse me, before it went around in a circle, everything was going around like a cycle or pattern or pattern. And then now it's a new cycle, a new turn of events, a new thing is coming in. So over the next six months to a year, you're going to have a lot of new activities and experiences coming in. And over the next six months to the year, you're, and again, this is free. Well, everybody listen, when I give messages, you can take these messages and you can run with them. And when the opportunities come in, you jump on them and you ride them like a wild horse. Okay. Or you can sit on your couch and eat bonbons, watching repeats of TV shows. It's up to you. I am not the boss of you. I am not even the boss of my own bladder. So don't tell me like, oh, it didn't happen. What did you get up? Did you get out when the invitations came? Did you take them?  I mean, I'm just saying. So what I want to say to you is there are a lot of opportunities coming in and you are going to have to make those choices to say yes when you get the chance. I feel like there's going to be a little bit more money coming in over the next six weeks or six months. Cause I get the numbers. That is not sex. I get the number six. Oh my goodness. Over the next six weeks or six months, you're going to, or maybe from six weeks to six months, you're going to be having more money coming in. I feel like you're going to pick up on something that's going to help you move forward in a more productive way. Whatever you're going to do for the next six months is going to kind of set you up for a very long time. So make sure that over the next six months you are being very invested in whatever it is you're doing next. Be smart with your money moves, but if you make the money moves, you will make the money. Oh, I hope that helps, Fred. I really like that. Thank you. No, that's a lot of hope for me because it's been kind of difficult. And yeah, the word oscillating does, I feel things are oscillating and it's sort of coming in and going out, but I think it's going to get on the track, like you said, at some point soon where I get more clarity. Yes. Yeah. I really appreciate that. Yeah, absolutely.  There is going to be the opportunity for relocation. Now, whether this means relocating from where you live to a new neighborhood, a new city, a new state, province or country is up to you. I do, however, feel like this relocation might have something to do with the money and or work. Now, again, everything is a choice. Am I going to accept this or am I going to reject it? Is this, because I feel like whatever this is that comes in, it's a, it might seem like a lot at first. Okay. Okay. Excellent, Brynn. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Tony. You're so welcome. And I love that you called in today. Thank you so much. It's been, it's been a long minute since we've been able to chat and I'm so happy. In a while. Yeah, it has been a while. So thank you for touching base. And if I don't get to talk to you beforehand, happy holidays. Same to you and many more. And have a great new year out for you. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Brynn. Okay. I am going to go to. Don't don't don't seven eight zero and fun. I'll get to you next. Let's go to seven eight zero. What's your name and where are you calling from? Thank you so much. Yes. How can I help you, Jay? Hey, just wanted to keep on pressing. So. Okay. So the weird thing and I don't know. I'm just going to say what I hear. Stay put for now. Something's going to come in. Right around. February. End of January, February. Something's going to come in, but until then. Don't like, don't get. Distressed if, if, if things aren't popping. Or if they're not opening up. I don't know if that makes sense to you the way they're saying it. But near the end of January, beginning of February, something's going to come in. It's going to be. Good. I actually hear. Better than it ever was. And I hear same, same, same. I don't know if that means the same company, the same type of work. Or the same. Something is going to be the same. About the new. Excuse me. I'm so sorry folks. About the new position coming in. Something is going to be the same. So, um, step, like study the course. Um, and don't panic if. You don't get. Uh, uh, uh, an offer prior to them. Does that make sense to you? Love more for people, which is actually pretty good. It was rigged.  It's coming. The timeline. Now I'm going to say keep applying because the, the end of January, beginning of February, I don't know if that's when the job is coming out or if that's the start time. So in between now and then you may be interviewing and actually starting end of January, beginning of February, they're, they're going to, this job is going to present end of January, beginning of February. I do see February 15th, um, Being they are highlighting February 15th. So maybe that's the start date. Again, I'm not, I'm not sure about that, but some, some hiring processes can take a bit of time.  So just make sure you're doing that and everything will fall into place. And by, I feel like again, end of January, beginning of February, you should have much better feeling about everything. Okay, Jay. And no problem. Yeah, and that might be. And again, I hear, you know, I always, I always believe everything is happening for us and not to us. So if you're supposed to, and I'm just going to throw this out there as a, for example, if you're supposed to, let's just say, for example, you're supposed to collect all of your severance pay, then maybe the position does come in on, you know, maybe you're, you're interviewing and then on February 15 is the date they let you know you got the job, and then you don't start until the severance pay is done. Everything happens in alignment and in perfect timing. And this time that you have don't stress, just know something is coming in and it will be there for you. Now, I am going to say, even though I believe everything happens for us, when I'm going through something, I am like the most like asking a million and one questions of the spirit and angels and, and wanting to know right away how everything is going to play out.  I get that. No, you get to suffer just like everybody else. She got treatment. So yes, there's that. Anyway, having said that day, just relax, send things out, be a bit picky about not picky, picky, but you know, you have the ability to not be desperate. So you can choose something or look at positions that are in alignment with what you really want. Okay. Excellent. Thank you. Well, they and a great pool of holiday season.  And thank you so much for calling in today. I'm so happy we got to, we were able to speak with you also. Thank you so much. I love each and every one of you so stinking much. I hope you have an absolutely week and I look forward to seeing you guys on Wednesday. Thank you so much and have a great day.


Hello, welcome to SSUnitex. This is continuation of Azure Data Factory interview questions and answers. So recently one of my friend has attended interview in one of the organizations. So this question was asked there. So here we will see how to use the wildcard characters inside the get meta data activity. Because inside the get meta data activity we don't see any direct option by which we can use the wildcard characters. So let me quickly go inside the browser and we will try to see the requirement first. We are having all these files. Our requirement is we just want to pick only the file which is containing today's date 2205. So that we can see the third file and the last file. So these two files it will pick and will process. So this is the actual requirement. So let me quickly go inside the Azure Data Factory and here as I have already created this pipeline. So let's start. So first let me try to use the get meta data activity. So we can simply use the get meta data activity here. Go to on the settings and under the settings we are required to set up a data set. So let me try to create a new data set here as it is pointing to Azure Blob Storage. So you can select the Azure Blob Storage then click on continue. After that the file format which is the delimited text and click on continue. Now here we have already created the link service. So we can use that link service. Now let me try to select the path. So here we can select the input location and under the input we can see the India. So we should be having the India folder under the input. So we can go here and let me try to go inside the India. So without selecting any file you can simply click on OK. So all these files which is available under the India we want to pick. Now first row as header you can either select or skip then click on OK. So what it is doing it is going to create a new data set as data set is created. Let me click on this plus symbol and here which argument we want we want all the child items here. So this is we are having. But remember if we are going to execute this it will be going to get all the files those are available under the India folder. So we can hear verify the output. So in this child items we can see it is picking all these files. But we don't see any options by which we can mark this as dynamic. So we can open this data set so we cannot use the wildcard characters directly inside the path. So how we can use it so simply we can go inside the parameter and let's try to create a new parameter with the file name and go to the connection and trying to make this file name as dynamic and using this parameter of the file name. So now this data set is expecting one input parameter which will be the file name. But the file name we can go inside the pipeline and here this data set is asking this parameter value. So here we can use the wildcard characters. So simply we can use the astic 20205 then again astic. So if we are having any file that is containing 20205 it will pick all those files except those files it will not pick any file. So let me try to execute it again. So this time it should pick only two files. So as it got executed let me check the output. So here this time we can see it is only picking these two files because these two files are containing 20205. So I hope guys you have understand how we can use the wildcard characters inside the get metadata activity. Thank you so much for watching this video. See you in the next video.
