I'm your host, Agent Beamstar, let's get Roy Booze. Hey, it's not a week in the 2K community unless people take shots. Unless there's a new update on the game and also a whole bunch of different shenanigans goes on, man, it's the 2K community. It's always late. Ladies and gentlemen, it's your host, Agent Beamstar. If y'all new to the channel, be sure to subscribe. It takes a second. You'll get notified next time some drama drops. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's midnight and I have way too much energy. Second channel link in the description. Just dropped a video rating PewDiePie's meme ratings. All right, I mean, Agent Zero did that, obviously. Hey, link is in the description. Subscribe to that channel, watch that. Channel's already at 100K, shout out to y'all. All right, let's get down to business. For our first story of the day, an OG content creator, the NBA 2K community that goes by name Nick the Bulls fan was wildin' on Twitter the other day and a lot of people had questions. So let's roll the clip. He put out this original tweet saying, oh, it was in response to some that was deleted. Why the hell would I wanna do that? Why would I limit myself to being Chris Smooth?  Smooth has always been the boomer of the community holding it back from its true potential. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not every day you take shots at Chris Smooth in the 2K community. Smooth created the community, dummy.  Everyone knows iPod has been the real face of the community. Let's praise King Carter. He has been the gatekeeper. He let me in when I met him for the commercial and I'm so grateful for him. He has always stayed true. It's all about the impact. Now I will say this, iPod King Carter did have an iconic series back in like 14, 15 days called Sports Commentator March Madness.  I guarantee you, I wanted to be a part of it. Everyone I know wanted to be a part of it. So in that way, he kind of was a gatekeeper. Nick is spitting some facts right here. So someone responded to Nick saying, Smooth made 2K popular on YouTube. What are y'all talking about? That's the most simp statement I ever heard. The viewer is made 2K popular on YouTube. Without the community, there is no Chris Smooth. He didn't invent the platform. Stop idolizing this old man who never did good for us. He tried to end me by killing locker codes. I'm getting surprised like I didn't open up these tabs and I don't know what the drama's gonna be. I don't know what's wrong with me. Toasted, one of the premier designers in the 2K community responded, Nick, you can't be out here disrespecting Chris Smooth. For so many people including me, he got me into 2K and I would have never been here if it wasn't for seeing his videos back in 2K13. My people at 2K have always showed me love. The community betrayed me back in the day so I decided to quit and finish my studies. After college, I was inspired by my brother to come back. Now, there's nothing that can stop me. But things didn't stop there. The reason Nick the Bulls fan was so active on Twitter was because he was actually looking to break a record. And that was a record that Lois Polos himself broke just a month ago, which was the longest stream in Twitch history. So Nick the Bulls fan did his stream. I didn't watch it. I can't even verify that it happened but he's saying it happened and this is what he said next on Twitter. Still waiting for Dixero to acknowledge me breaking the streaming record with 225 hours. I work harder in those almost 10 days than I have in my entire life. Many people close to me thought I was going crazy. That's how entertaining and exhausted I was. And so obviously, you know, he'd been wilding. He got some responses and some criticism. Nick the Bulls fan, this is what he had to say about the criticism. Any negativity whatsoever equals blocked. Cash at me $5 if you wanna be unblocked after that. Waffle King doesn't have any room for negativity in his life. I'm trying to make the world happy again. It's a massive goal, but it's my life mission. So that's where that story ends, ladies and gentlemen. Some of you guys who've been around the community for a while probably know who Nick the Bulls fan is. But according to him, he broke a record. He just wanted some recognition for that record. And meanwhile, I decided to take some shots at probably the only person in the 2K community you probably shouldn't take shots at. For our next story of the day, ladies and gentlemen, I can't even be excited this drama alert because there's too much bad news going on. Now, you might not be a huge fan of Nate X. He might have rubbed you the wrong way at some point, but we can all acknowledge his grind. Nate X is a grinder. You know what I mean? He would ban off every imaginable platform, goes to a random platform and still pulling two, 3,000 live viewers. It's unbelievable. Comes back to YouTube like a couple weeks ago, man was pulling 30,000 live viewers on a wage. That's unbelievable numbers. But it was a whole bunch of bad news because Nate X's YouTube channel got terminated again. And the community most definitely had a reaction. Joe knows tweeted saying, nah, Nate, there's no way, bro, WTF. Feel so bad for Nate. Shake my head, they terminated his channel again. Ain't no way, bro, Nate X. I think Nate X's channel just got terminated. Hashtag free Nate. No one should ever have to go through losing countless hours of grinding. Then Nate X, after a couple hours, he got in the loop himself. He decided to post on Twitter saying this, I don't know what's going on. Ain't no way this is happening again. I'm so numb right now. I wanna cry so bad, but tears aren't just coming out. No one knows what I'm going through. Even AMP Duke had something to say.   So Nate X kind of just explained briefly that he's gonna try and contact YouTube and see what the problem is. Because if you remember why Nate X originally got terminated is because he filed a copyright claim on a plug channel that was just ripping his streams and uploading them to YouTube. And YouTube deemed that as an abuse of the copyright system, even though it was Nate X's content. And so they terminated Nate X's channel over it. And so once your channel just terminated, you can't make another channel. That's can get terminated too. There's some work arounds for it, for sure. But unfortunately, at his peak, just when he started to really, really get on a roll, Nate X's YouTube channel goes kablam kabloom kablop. I don't know Nate X that well, I've only really spoken to him a couple of times, but man, he really does go through a lot. Some of it I feel like is inspired by the toxicity he brings on himself. But there's no level of toxicity that I feel like would warrant, like this is his third or fourth channel being terminated. Like who goes through that? So shout out Nate X, man, for continuing to push through that and continuing to release content and continuing to be relevant in the NBA 2K community. That's impressive. For our next story of the day, ladies and gentlemen, this is a short one because there's not much to say because 2K hasn't said much about it. There's an update, new patch 1.13 update. We all downloaded that update and none of us actually know what's in there. I don't know, 2K's been getting lazier. Like, you know, two days later they dropped patch notes, three days later. With this patch, they didn't even drop the patch notes. They just said, we don't even think patch notes are useful, we're not gonna do it. So I don't know what's up with 2K. I don't know what was introduced in the patch at all. Hey, 2K, it will be nice in future notice. If you could just notify us what we're downloading onto our console. That's all we're asking. It's not hard. You could literally just put like 10 notes of the things you've changed. It could even be vague. Ideally as specific as possible, but it could even be vague. For our next story of the day. Ladies and gentlemen, Ronnie 2K and associates have been throwing out logos left and right. You're asking questions. Agent, did Agent Zero himself get a logo? Nope, he did not. I can verify that because I live in the same house as him. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Agent Beamstar right here. I'm letting you know right now, I don't care. So when Ronnie posts tweets about a logo, please do not spam my mentions. Because I swear to God, every time Ronnie does it, my mentions are done for an entire day. If just people saying agent, agent, agent. He's not giving it to me, guys. But there were a lot of people in the 2K community like Joe knows, et cetera, who were deserving of a logo, who finally got a logo. So talking about logos, there was some drama. Chris Z. T. on Twitter posted this.  Funny to see how race is somehow always brought into the subject with this video. What was this? Okay, we're gonna have to mute some, a lot of that, cause you know, copyright or music. But to transcribe, she said, who is this?  And obviously, doing that on stream that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because a rational human being could just flip the logic and do the same thing about her. When you run across her on the park, just say she's some weird and so it's like, you don't want people to say stuff like that about you. So Chris Z. T. was feeling some type of way about it. Call the man through in his hat into the mix online, Twitter, because he said this. I see so many streamers focus on other streamers.  LD2K even said, just a friendly reminder, you never know what the next person is going through. Spread love, be kind, be a good person. All I gotta say, imagine if the roles were changed, you'd never hear the end of it. Hey, this is what I wanna say about the whole logo situation. There's actually no value in having a logo no more. There's nothing, there's no value. It's just has been greatly diminished. In 2K19, when someone had a logo, it was like, oh my God.  Because like that's what they were meant for, right? But now there's so many people that have it. It has less value.  They obviously did something to deserve it. And so it's like, yo, allow them man. And LD2K has a point, bro, I promise you. A lot of people is going through things, but they keep it tough. You don't know what something you said is gonna do this and that for the other person. You know, I'm a very trolly kind of guy. I've been trolling 24 seven, you know what I mean? So even me, I had to catch myself from time to time like, yo, I don't even know if they know I'm playing. But in this situation, it did not look like she was playing whatsoever. It looked like she was being very serious. She was almost disgusted by the fact that she was interested to see who it was. And then immediately lost interest when she found out who it was. Anyway, that was the story. It wasn't, it wasn't actually that jam-packed. But yeah, there's still handing logos out. So if you're streaming, then actually I don't know how it works. You just kind of have to have Ronnie on your side. For the ladies and gentlemen, the NBA 2K League, there was some drama. And it's actually such a unique bit of drama that no one's ever seen before, right? And so let me walk you through what happened. NBA 2K League games have been streamed on ESPN2. So now they're nationally televised games, ladies and gentlemen. They're on the big stage, right? So you want to make sure the content is A1. And for the most part, I've been enjoying it. But today, as a damn recording this, there was some shenanigans going on. Jeff posted this on Twitter. Mama on that man dropped 77 points, which is an NBA 2K League regulation record for the Blazers five gaming. But much of the conversation is about Bucks GG holding the ball in the fourth. And you can see here at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bucks team is just holding the ball so that he can't score because they already lost the game. So you can imagine if someone's watching this for the first time or whatever on ESPN2, they would be livid about the fact that it almost feels like someone's controller died. What's going on? This is not high quality content. And it's not indicative of what the 2K League generally produces. So a whole bunch of people had a reaction. I am adding the first AKA Kekuta, one of the legends in the 2K community and an NBA 2K League season one champion posted this on Twitter. So corny for doing that. And even more embarrassing that it's on national television. Imagine tuning in as a new viewer for the first time and seeing a team doing what they're doing right now. I'd never watch again. When will league players realize they are the official NBA employees? So Dave Fryer player in the league responded on ESPN as well. That's the crazy part. ESPN is feeding for some content. You don't think mama lands an interview after breaking the record? Directly drawing in more exposure and money for the league, growing his own brand, which again grows the league, pathetic and selfish by the bucks. Boo Painter, is he in the league still? I don't know. He got banned in season two, but he was like leading points per game in season one. He said most of the players see the money, not the bigger picture, Kuta. CB13 player for I believe the Warriors, when people still fail to realize league growth over your own.  Why are you ruining the product? There should most definitely be some kind of rules in place for that. I'll give you an example. I was watching, I think it was last year's EVO. One of the Super Smash players thought it was a brilliant idea to just not attack each other in one of the games. And the officials literally ran up to the stage like, excuse me, both the y'all is about to be disqualified if you don't start fighting in this competition. That's what you're supposed to do. And so in that situation, they tried to do some tomfoolery and EVO wasn't having it. So to K League, you have to have some kind of rule so that people can't play the game like that or they're disqualified.   Why don't you dea? Considering this is your full-time job. Why don't you just dea? There's been an update, new story, ladies and gentlemen, for the last story of the day. There's some breaking news, by the way, of Troy Dan, who decided to put out this tweet on Twitter saying this. PlayStation 5 upcoming game list was released in the UK magazine. Interesting. And if you click on it, nowhere on this PS5 list of games do you see NBA 2K21. You do see games like NHL 21 and FIFA 21, but nothing to do with NBA 2K. Now granted, there is Derona and there is a new set of consoles and 2K is severely understaffed. We know these things. On top of all of those things, they're coming out with their new PGA 2K golf game. They got their new WWE All-Stars 2K game. I feel like there's split in a lot of different directions and I'm hoping this doesn't mean that there's gonna be some serious delay in what 2K21's gonna look like on Next Gen. I guess at this point it's all up to speculation. We don't know if the game's even gonna release on the PS4 and the Xbox One. I could assume it will because obviously 2K wants to make money, but I just thought it was interesting and that might not be an exhausted list. Maybe 2K doesn't know yet if they're gonna be ready for launch, et cetera. Maybe they're not gonna come at launch. They're gonna come a couple weeks later, a month later. We don't really know. It is nearing June and we still haven't heard not a damn thing about NBA 2K21. So I'm assuming at some point in the next two to three weeks we at least hear something. And if we don't, then I'm gonna start to say, look, it's looking a little fishy. It's looking a little eerie today, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, that's it for the news. If you guys enjoyed, make sure to drop a like. Subscribe to the channel if you guys are new. Second channel link in the description and the video is right here. I was rating PewDiePie's meme ratings. And you know we're both on the board of authorized, oh, agent zero is on the board. So yeah.


You know, when I was a 22-year-old college dropout brokeie that decided to pursue YouTube, I could not for the life of me fathom paying $500 for anything, let alone clothing. But I did always wonder what the differences were when you paid more for clothing, and so times have changed, I'm doing much better for myself. Let's go ahead and find out. Alright, Johnny from the Future Edit right here, we're going to establish some ground rules. We're going to find out the differences between trousers today, and the first ground rule is we're not going to be doing any thrifting. Thrifting is great and all that, but you can never get the same exact thrift as somebody else because that's just the way it works. So we want some sort of control. And number two, we're going to have three different tiers. Tier one is going to be the most affordable ones, tier two is going to be the mid-range, and tier three is going to be some expensive trousers, and we're going to compare them. And so I just wanted to establish that you're probably going to see me a little bit more back to the edit. Alright, so we're out in Soho right now. It wasn't rainy day today. All these New Yorkers are looking beautiful today. We're going to go to a store that got us started with fashion, probably with them zipper pants. Let's go check it out. There's no H&M at Soho anymore, so cut to the H&M store. So I filmed in store and the music was bumping, so in order to not get copyrighted, I'm going to just summarize what I said. Because H&M is more of a trendy store, I wanted to go for something on the trendier side. Why not? So there was a lot of baggy trousers as well as some slim fit ones, and sure there were like 20 bucks here and there, but we all know those probably aren't the best, and I wanted to give H&M a fair chance. So then I found a gem, which are these flared trousers, and you know for 50 bucks, they're not so bad, definitely up there for H&M prices, but I'm sure if you shop online, you can probably get a discount. As I have them right now, they have a slim fit in the thighs and flares out nicely, and honestly, it lays pretty nice on a pair of boots or sneakers. There is a single pleat, which always makes a pair of trousers feel much more premium, and yes, these trousers actually feel pretty decent. However, you see that? Not a great look. Now, let's back our second pair of tier one trousers. Store number two is Uniqlo, a store for staples, basics, timeless pieces. Let's go check it out. We made it to minimalist heaven. Again, the music was too loud, I was asked not to film, so let me just explain what I was looking for. Something that is as timeless as can be. And so we found a pair of slim fitting trousers, also at 50 bucks. There are relaxed fitting ones that look pretty dope, but they were sold out on sites and sold out in stores, but immediately what I noticed about these ones is yes, they are constructed much nicer than the H&M ones, however, I don't get why they add these drawstrings. Just my opinion, they already have the button in the clasp, and there's also a noticeable stretch making these much more comfortable to wear. These are daily pants quality for sure, which just means you're going to get much more bang for your buck.  It's not really going to stand out.  Obviously, these companies are trying to make a huge profit, so they have to appeal to the most amount of people. That's why some of their stuff can come out basic. And what I'm getting at here is this is probably similar to buying cars. So a Corolla or Civic is as basic as it gets, but it's a nice basic. Reliable, gets good gas mileage. It's going to get the job done. And then there are some models that have some flair like the Civic Si, which you can consider these flair trousers over here. But we're going to move on to tier number two now. And let's call this something like the Tesla Model S. Has more features than your normal vehicle. Fast, looks great, and definitely much more premium. Wouldn't that be nice to own one? Well, you can get the chance to with the sponsor of today's video, Omaze. So Omaze is a fundraising platform that gives you the chance to win once in a lifetime prizes, all while helping nonprofits make the world a better place.

Click that link in the description and thank you Omaze for sponsoring this video. Okay, back to it. Check out this beautiful sunset. We are going to have to resort to online shopping for tier two because knowing me, I'm just going to waste a bunch of time shopping in Soho and this video would not get done. And so I think the perfect store as a mid tier brand would be all of clothing. And I have several pairs of trousers from them already. These type of trousers run anywhere from $100 to $180 or so, solid middle tier pricing. And the benefits of a higher price is they can take a little bit more risk. They have a certain target audience. They're not trying to appeal to the masses. And what I immediately noticed is such a variety of options. So as you can see, we have a bunch of wide fit balloon fitting pants. We have some pinstripe pants right here. We even got these trousers right here with a metal belt. So that's actually a really cool touch. Got some Kodoroi ones, super relaxed fitting ones right here, some cropped ones, and they also got some slim fitting ones. So all of clothing has a huge variety. They've got so much to see and they're timeless. Don't you just love trousers? Fashion is all just a cycle and all of clothing has basically every fits. They even got the Walter White trousers. Now, I did buy some trousers from them for this video, but they won't come in time for when I'm filming this. So we're going to have to resort to some old trousers that I got from them for $100. So these trousers actually feel similar in quality to the first two pairs of trousers, but they are much more uniquely designed. You got the pleated details around the waist area instead of all the way down the legs. There's that wide fit that tapers down to a cropped cut, which is always nice, gives you a variety of styling options. And what I've noticed with these trousers is the amount of times I get asked about them. You guys ask me all the time in the comments section, you guys DM me about it, and these trousers aren't even their most premium ones with the belts and all that. So with these trousers being around $100 to $150, do you think this is worth getting one pair over two pairs of tier one trousers? Let me know what you think. And here we are at tier number three. $500 is our budget and this is going to cost us more than all three trousers combined. And I immediately know what to get because I bought them for myself last month at full price. That is the Issey Miyake on police pleated trousers. And they have a ton of variations. So I settled with these ones with the cargo, which there isn't really a cargo, it's just a little slit. And now I see that they are $100 cheaper on essence. We're going to stick to the original price I paid at $500. These feel nothing like the other trousers. They have flow, they're breathable, and they definitely make a statement even though they are all black. You got that wide straight cut fits and you got to admit, they do look expensive. But there are drawbacks though. You really got to baby these pants. So as you can see, we're on their site now. They recommend that you wash it every single time that you wear it. That's definitely something I don't do. And they recommend that you roll the garments according to the direction of the pleats when storing it. I definitely don't do that. I probably should. You can't do this. You can't do that. You can't dry clean it, tumble dry it, steam or any of that because the fabric is not meant to withstand heat. Heat is what actually makes pleated details, heat and pressure. And so because of that, you don't want to get this piece wet. Otherwise, it'll stress the fabric, ruin the pleated details. They don't even want you sitting on these trousers for too long. Otherwise, you're going to mess up the pleated details. What happens when you mess up the pleated details? It is impossible to replete them. So as you can see, you really got to baby these. I think of this like buying like a McLaren or something like that. There's probably going to be a ton of issues with it. But it's a ton of fun. You're going to want to drive it. But the second someone dings your car with their door, you would probably flip. And so with these trousers, yes, I do wear them a ton. But I have to ask myself, am I really wearing this because I actually like it? Or is it because it is expensive and I want to get my money's worth. So I decided to wear it more and try to lower that cost per wear. I don't know. I feel like it's a bit of both. And also as a fashion enthusiast, you're obviously paying for the craftsmanship. Pleading these pants probably takes forever. And you're also paying for brand association, just like you would with any other luxury item. For the most part, better quality materials are used or it's handcrafted. And of course, you're getting something unique. All right. So I'm going to style each of these trousers in the same exact way, same tops, same sneakers. And you tell me which one looks best and give me your opinion on which one is worth it. So this first is very casual. We're just going to keep it with a t-shirt, accessories, like the beanie, the glasses and white sneakers, just an everyday casual fit that I think goes perfect with trousers. This next fit is going to be a more spring-esque fits, you know, the trousers, Chelsea boots, camp-colored shirts and trousers always go perfect together. Let me know what you think. And this next fit is kind of a street fit. We got the cap, the hoodie, the sling bag and the coat. So this fits a little bit more casual chic, just having fun with it, you know? And the final fit is kind of more Asian streetwear inspired, you know, we got the Mandarin-colored shirts, the cropped-colored jackets and then the trousers. It's crazy how each of these trousers can change the vibe of a fit. If I had to pick what my favorite trousers were, obviously, this is subjective. I think I would probably roll with the Uniqlo ones or the Isimiyaki ones. The H&M ones are definitely super trendy right now. However, the fit preferences of clothing can always change. So it's definitely in right now, but who knows when it's going to be out of trend. As far as the slim fit ones, yeah, you could say skinny fits and slim fit is out of trend, but it's timeless. You can wear this with a dress shirt to an interview, go on a date with it. And you can wear these in 2023 or you can wear them in 2080. It doesn't matter. Now for the olive clothing trousers, I actually thought this would be the one to come on top. And when I was pairing all the fits together with these trousers, some of them didn't look as good as other trousers did. And the Isimiyaki trousers are my favorite because one, I did pay a lot of money for it. Two, it looks really good. And I appreciate the craftsmanship, how much detail goes into creating the pleated details. And because Mr. Miyaki is a legend, rest in peace. And hopefully this video gets enough views to pay for my trousers. Let me know which trousers you prefer in the comments down below.

In this example, we're going to be translating these two instructions from assembly language into machine language. When you're actually doing this, you're probably going to want to have a couple of tables handy to tell you what your opcodes and function codes are, as well as what the register numbers are. But for these examples, we can just tell you what those numbers are. I will start with the add instruction, and the opcode for an add instruction is 0. The RS field corresponds to the first source register. In this case, the first source register is T1, the second source register is $T2, and then the destination is registered T0. We don't have a shift instruction, so we won't have anything in the shift amount. And the function code for an add instruction is 20 in hexadecimal. So in machine language, we'll need to convert all of these into binary bits. Our opcode contains six bits, so I will write in six bits of zeros. Our first source register is T1, which is register 9. So I will write in 9 using five bits. Our second source register is T2, which is register 10. So I will write in 10 in binary. The destination register is T0, which is register number 8. Then we have five bits for our shift amount, which is zero. And then we have six bits for our function code. We will often be asked to convert your machine language instruction into hexadecimal because it makes it easier to read. And if you ever actually see these instructions in the machine, they'll normally be represented in hexadecimal. So we'll go ahead and convert our machine language instruction into a hexadecimal number. And we'll do that just by looking for blocks of four bits. So this is how the add T0, T1, T2 instruction would look if you saw it in an actual machine. We'll do the same process again for our subtract instruction. The opcode will also be zero. This time our first source register is S1. This is register number 17. Our second source register is S2. The destination register is S0. It's not a shift instruction. And the function code for subtract instruction is 22. Now we'll go ahead and convert all of these values into binary. And then we'll go ahead and convert them into hexadecimal again. So I have six bits of zeros for my opcode. S1 is register 17. S2 is register 18. S0 is register 16. S0 is zero. 22 is 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0. So you will frequently see your function codes and opcodes represented in hexadecimal. But often register numbers will be given in decimal. If your tables have been provided to you in that way, make sure you remember which ones are which and not get them confused. Grouping blocks of bits, I get 0, 2, 3, 2, 8, 0, 2, 2. So this is what our subtract instruction will look like in our machine.


about a quarter of the proceeds if we put in a half cent. So that would be about $1.4 million in this fiscal year, 2018-19. So we would have, next year in 1920, you would have the full 5.7 million. This year you'd have only $1.4 million. Here's how we would propose that the budget, the board budgeted if it is approved by the voters. We would recommend that about a little more than $400,000 be used for the ongoing operating costs of the focused deterrence initiative. This is where the sheriff deputies and the behavior health would offer services for those individuals who are resistant to enter into treatment. And then we'd also fund the homeless navigation centers, both in Watsonville and in Santa Cruz. And then we'd also fund the parks maintenance workers and recreation staff. So that would be for then partial year funding for these programs. And then we would recommend trying to find the funds to fund all of these projects, which total $4.3 million. We think there's a way to do it. We've come up with it. Here's the recommendation we will be making to the board if the sales tax is approved. We would recommend using a million dollars of the sales tax on this year. Prop 68 funds, which are state funds of half a million dollars. We believe there's going to be about a million dollars in budget savings from this last fiscal year. And we also were notified that we are going to be reimbursed for SB 90 mandate money. And we'd propose using about $1.9 million of that. So the combination of those four sources of funding would allow us to fund all of these projects, every one of them, which would be a great benefit to the community. So in conclusion, that's our recommendation. And that concludes my staff report. Thank you very much. Thank you. Supervisor Caput. You're welcome. Just to, for the sake of transparency, the tax we're talking about is a 12-year tax. That is correct. Okay, it's not a 30-year tax, it's a 12-year tax. 50% plus one vote to pass it. That is correct. Okay, to assure that it's going to what we're voting for putting it on the ballot. I mean, that's separate, but people voting for it, how can they be assured that it's going to go to what we intended to go to? Well, we put on a resolution on today's agenda to accompany placing the measure on the ballot, which would set out these budget priorities for the board. And so you would be on record approving these budget priorities. Okay, and then I'm going to just read South County Parks to provide matching funds to unlock other resources. And I'll skip over a little bit to increase park safety, deferred maintenance, and establish new or expanded park facilities. That means we could actually purchase land and add acreage to South County Parks. That is correct. I like the wording on that. And just, I'll make a quick commentary, but I'm ready to vote on this. You know, it's a sad commentary on society today when you drive around and you look at what we used to use schools for parks and rec, our kids just going down there to the school to shoot baskets or to play catch or to kick the soccer ball around.  I've noticed a lot of schools are starting to look like prisons. And it's a sad commentary, something bad happens somewhere else. And I really hate to see that. And I've been arguing that at least on weekends, gates should be unlocked. People should be able to use those schools for recreation and the schools are not doing that. A lot of them, they're locked up 24-7 or whatever on weekends. And so what I'm getting at is I don't want us to, if we're gonna expand facilities and we're gonna actually do maintenance, I don't wanna see walls go up all around the facility and locking them out. I wanna see access, people able to go down there. So I mean, walls do not solve problems. They just defer problems and they put them off somewhere else. So anyway, I just wanna make sure that our parks are accessible. And I would like to see schools making their land accessible for people to use also their playgrounds for the kids that we see here that they're able to go down there and use them. Taxpayers are paying for all this and to have them locked out during reasonable hours is not fair to the taxpayer. They're paying for it. They should have access to it. Their kids and family should have access to it also. And let's see, just refer. That's basically it. So thank you. Thank you. A brief question from Supervisor Leopold. I know we wanna get to the community as well. Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to ask, although this will be a tax that's only charged in the unincorporated area, the services that are gonna be provided here are really county-wide. The focus deterrent initiative is really to work with all of our incorporated cities as well. The Simkin Swim Center is obviously a regional park facility. The Leo's Haven is gonna be the only all-accessible park for handicap children throughout all Santa Cruz County. So everybody's gonna get a chance to vote on this, but everybody will also get a chance to benefit from this. Is that right? That is correct. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate everybody's patience. Now's an opportunity for members of the community to address us on this item. Please feel free to step forward. Can I get a sense of how many people are interested in addressing us on this item? Just to know how long testimony will be. Okay, we'll offer three minutes for each person. Thank you. Ms. Roberts, yes. Three minutes, I know. You don't have to take it all. This is true. Watch out. You wanna come? Okay. I actually wrote something down today because it's a very wonderful celebratory day for our team. My name is Mariah Roberts, Director of Chanticleer Park Neighbors and Vacinos. Mariah. See? And I'm here to say thank you to showing your commitment to the private public partnership that is Leo's Haven at Chanticleer Park. Thank you for prioritizing parks in your funding decisions and working with us to care for these spaces that we all hold dear. Through these years of work, you have shown us that a partnership with the County of Santa Cruz is not only possible, it can lead to something greater than its parts. Prioritizing healthy public spaces opens a free and accessible path for all of us to take charge of our own health, to find community, to connect with nature and to strengthen our families. Yeah, yeah. Hang on. We have a comment. Hi. What's your name? My name is Sergio. And I am five years old. Anything else about the park? And I want the park here. All right. All right. Back to the boring comment. Leo's Haven at Chanticleer Park has supporters from every district in this county. From service clubs, chambers of commerce, community groups, businesses, medical providers, educators, I cannot thank each of them enough. Today, I really wanna give a shout out, however, to the El Patio de Micasa bilingual family support group from Live Oak Community Resources. For years since we first organized, these families have met every week out at the undeveloped park site, no bathroom. Led by their teacher, Yolanda Provost de Fuentes, who I wanna grow up and become. She is here. They have raised their children, planting and harvesting in the interim community gardens. They have found health, community and support from each other under that giant, beautiful Live Oak. Whenever I'm weary of this fundraising and all of the hoops we all jump through, I go join the families in the park. I'm filled back up with nature. I'm nourished by the food from their harvest. I'm soothed by conversation, Yolanda's guitar and the sound of kids playing. I hope you'll join me in thanking them today for exemplifying what a public space can offer. So I wanna say thank you to the El Patio families. Thank you. Okay. And thank you for seeing that value and for following through on our shared commitment to build Leo's Haven at Chanticleer Park. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. What's your name, what's the name of your project? Hola. Can I plead it? Oh. Mi nombre es Inés Cartagena. Este, estamos ya por varios años esperando el parque y sé que nos falta un poquito y esperamos su apoyo y estamos aquí porque este parque es especial. Todos tenemos un conocido con necesidad, con discapacidad hoy en nuestros vecindarios y gracias. Y por eso estamos aquí. Okay. Do you need interpretation or do you understood? We may have had staff here that was here earlier but they had them. Okay, well mainly, what did you say? No. I know what she said. That is, it's very important to have a park in the community where the community, these children are going to be for many years there. And park is fun, it's family, it's communities, it's diversity, it's everything and the children is our future.  I'm committed to do the work for them because they're going to be here for a long time and I hope that all of you do the same. Thank you very much and thank you, Mariah and thank you and all the mothers here you can raise and we use the park every week and we have a beautiful garden. If you need care, go there. Thank you. Thank you for your work, Yolanda. My pleasure. Hola, yo quiero un parque para mí. Soy madre del patio de mi casa y considero que este parque es muy importante para nuestros hijos pues queremos que crezcan libres, sanos apasionados emocionalmente, sanos emocionalmente y empoderados para enfrentar los retos de la vida moderna. Y qué más con este parque, no gracias por el apoyo, gracias por lo que están haciendo para nosotros. Buen día. I'm going to do a better job now because before, I didn't enter, but I don't. She said that she wants empowering the children and she goes to the garden because it's a place to grow the children in a safe place. Okay, so thank you. Thank you. Okay. Okay, good job, you guys. Thank you for your patience for being here so long. Good morning, members of the board. My name is Will Forrest. I am a resident of the city of Santa Cruz and employee of the county of Santa Cruz and the president of the Santa Cruz County Employees Chapter of SEIU and nowhere near as charming or entertaining or organized as the families who just spoke. But one thing I want to say is anytime you're thinking about proposing attacks, there's naturally, there's some resistance and there's some concern potentially on your part that it might fail, that it might look bad and so on. And so I cannot, because there is no ballot proposition as yet, the SEIU has not taken a position on it. And so I can't speak as to that. But what I can tell you is that I have spoken with some of our members and our leaders and that we're enthusiastic about the prospect of this proposition being approved by your board so that it can go to the people of the county to make an informed decision. And I think anytime that you are proposing something where you're putting it out to the voters to say, hey, do you want to spend money on this thing? Then the voters are getting to make the final choice and so we fully support that. And I know that there are not very many ways in which the county has the ready ability to raise money and the analysis by the CAO's or by staff shows that this is one of the few ways that you can go ahead and do that. And the purposes for which it is targeted, in particular the combination of health services, cooperation with law enforcement to reduce both kinds of issues we think is an extraordinarily good choice. So I want to urge you all to vote yes on this. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you for waiting, Sheriff Hart. Good afternoon, I think, yeah, afternoon now. Chair Friend, Board of Supervisors, Jim Hart, Sheriff Corner, and I'm here just to express my support of the board to adopt this resolution to place the half-send sales tax on the November ballot. I talked to you a little bit at our budget hearing about the focused initiative, focused deterrence initiative and that something I didn't say is that in my 30 years in law enforcement, I have never seen the level of mental health calls and substance use disorder calls that our patrol staff receives every single day. We're responding over 10 times a day to people who are in serious mental health crisis and that's just in the unincorporated area of the county. I'm sure the city of Santa Cruz and the city of Watsonville are experiencing similar numbers. And that's placing a tremendous burden on our patrol staff and all they're able to do is really place a band-aid on that call in that moment. And what this program would do would allow us to partner sheriff's deputies with mental health professionals to work with the district attorney, the public defender, the courts, the probation department to focus on people who are causing harm in our community who won't accept and don't want help. And so using resources that we have access to, particularly the county jail, along with other resources, I feel like we can convince these people that getting help, getting off the street and stop causing harm in our community, in our open spaces, our parks, our beaches and our business districts, it will do nothing but help our community. In the fifth district, I think the most picturesque park in this county is the covered bridge park in the fifth district. And that park is tremendously underutilized because of the number of people who are drinking and doing drugs and acting out. And you just don't see that many families in that park, the way they should be using it. And unless I place a deputy there during the day hours, it just doesn't get used. And so I think having a team like this that could really focus on those people for some long-term solutions will have tremendous benefit to the county. So thank you for your time. And I encourage you to vote yes on this resolution. Thank you. Thank you for your leadership, Sheriff Hart on that issue. Good afternoon. Thank you for waiting. Good afternoon. Thanks for having me. My name's Karen Gosling. And as a citizen of Santa Cruz County, I'm extremely enthused by this measure. It's very exciting to see the energy going to something that is so critically important. I'm also here as part of Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary Club. And along with many other Rotary Clubs have been very big supporters of Leo's Haven. And I'm here with the crew that was with us behind us to really support this measure to make sure we get this park built as a healthcare professional and a rehabilitation therapist. I know the essential part of play has for children's development and the consequences of not having that. And this park is really gonna go a long way to ensuring the continued development for all of our children. And we have to have it soon. As part of Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary, we've been involved in many public fundraisers or private fundraisers to help put money towards this. And we have our final one coming up at the end of September. It's John and Ken's most excellent adventure. And we have over 75 people who are training and raising money for this. Because they really believe in this park and we're hoping that this could be the final push to get that groundbreaking done on October 13th. So as a Rotary member, as a healthcare professional and as a citizen of this community, I want to thank all of you so much for your continued support of the parks and especially Leo's Haven. And thank you for your creativity and finding ways to make this happen. Thank you. And thank you Karen for the leadership, your leadership and the leadership of Sunrise Rotary for the project. I know that you've already raised a lot of funds and to hear another one scheduled, hopefully will be the last one is great. So thank you for your leadership. You're welcome. Thank you. Good afternoon Ms. Corwin. Good afternoon, I'm Terry Corwin. Some of you might remember me from my previous career as CEO and president of Land Trust of Santa Cruz County. I'm enjoying retirement now over a year, but I haven't lost my passion for this community. It's parks and its environment. My kids live here, I have grandkids here, and I'm currently serving as treasure of Santa Cruz, friends of Santa Cruz County Parks. I'm new. Despite my best efforts and those of some others over the last 10 years and much to my chagrin, Santa Cruz County still does not have sufficient dedicated funding to steward its parks and open spaces. Our current county parks department, ably led by director Gaffney, remains at risk of drastic cuts in the next inevitable recession. We all remember when the last recession hit in the parks department was radically cut and rolled under public works. Because of this lack of sufficient dedicated funding, Santa Cruz County does not have a strong public agency such as an open space district or a stably funded parks department that can leverage and partner with non-profits such as the Land Trust and or friends of Santa Cruz County Parks or others. Non-profits working in conservation and recreation in Santa Cruz County are at a disadvantage to their Bay Area brethren when it comes to competing for federal and state funds that require local matching funds. Thank goodness for our local philanthropic community that partially fills that void. I was honored to serve on the County Parks Strategic Planning Working Group. I helped to facilitate at all five of the community meetings that were convened to receive input on priorities. The community has spoken through the strategic planning process and they love their parks and they wanna see it stick around. The ballot measure before you presents an opportunity to provide some funding. It does not solve the problem of dedicated funding but it sure is a good start and I applaud you for considering it. I plan on if it passes, if you pass it and working hard to make it pass for the voters. So thank you very much. Thank you, Ms. Corwin. Morning, Ms. Hall, welcome back. Good morning, Chair Friend, honorable Board of Supervisors, Mimi Hall, Interim Director of the Health Services Agency. I'm here just to speak about the importance of reminding the Board of the gaps that we have in the behavioral health system. We enjoy great partnerships with Human Services Department, with our Sheriff's Office and with our local police departments. But as I told the Board during my budget presentation, there are so many complexities to the work that we do and we have some serious gaps that are difficult to address under the funding systems and mechanisms that we have. And I really appreciate the work of not only the CAO's office but also Sheriff Hart and Chief Wilson in working with us back from, seems like the week that I got here in April on this focused deterrence initiative and just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you, thank you for your work. Welcome back, Commissioner Minot. Good morning, Supervisor Friend. My name is Kate Minot. I live in Aptos. I'm the second district representative on the County Parks Commission. The Parks Commission met last night in Watsonville where Supervisor Caput was. We weren't able to review today's measure. But we took an informal poll and we know we're gonna have a formal presentation, make a formal recommendation to you as a single person. I urge you to approve this motion today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your work on the Parks Commission. To reduce the point. Yeah, thank you. Charlie. I'm Bruce Holloway from Boulder Creek. I'm a lot less worried about this tax measure than the last one. This is more in the classic sense of put a tax and provide services. It's not trying to, you know, the other one I don't think's gonna work. Parks and libraries, I think that's the fun part of local government. Those are the good services we get. I was in the first class of docents at Quail Hollow Park almost 30 years ago. I did that for a couple of summers. So I do support parks. But what I wanna point out is that the elephant in the room as far as the county is concerned is the unfunded liabilities for CalPERS. The city of Santa Cruz just passed a half cent sales tax and about a week after that passed, Marcus Pimintel, the finance director of the city made an eight million dollar prepayment towards the unfunded liability of the city of Santa Cruz. And he described it, I think he described it as, this isn't really eight million dollars, this is 15 million dollars because we would have been paying interest on this money for so many years in the future if we did not make this prepayment. So every jurisdiction that has an unfunded liability with CalPERS is paying seven percent, you're paying about seven percent interest on that unfunded liability. And the unfunded liability for this county is about 500 million dollars. So that's really the elephant in the room here. That's, and I wanna point out that for the city of Santa Cruz that's their first priority. As soon as they get more sales tax revenue, that's what they're gonna do, that's what they did with it. Same thing for the city of Scotts Valley. City manager at the city of Scotts Valley has looked at their finances. And by the way, every local jurisdiction, if you look at their CalPERS reports for all of their pension plans and you look at the projections for the next six or seven years, everybody's payment's gonna double. Everybody's payment's gonna double to CalPERS. The city, all of our water districts, we're all in the same boat. But it impresses me that the city of Santa Cruz finance director and the city of Scotts Valley city manager recognize this problem and they put that as their first priority. And their city of Scotts Valley is also planning to extend their sales tax. So I just wanna remind you about this elephant in the room. And another observation I wanna make about this. Gosh, I think it was more than 15 years ago I was here. And Bob Sur of Scotts Valley was in the back of the room. He was about 90 years old, I think. And he was, at the time the county was paying about 9% towards CalPERS. And I think it's over 20% today. And he was like a voice in the wilderness. Warning, warning the Board of Supervisors then that this CalPERS problem is gonna eat us up. And so the county's paying 20% towards CalPERS every year. That means that 20% of the money that ought to be fixing our roads. Thank you. Is getting spent on, it just isn't going where it needs to. Thank you. Is there anybody else who'd like to address this on this item? Okay, seeing none, we'll close public testimony and bring it back to the Board. Supervisor Leopold. Thank you, Chair. Thanks for everyone who waited to speak to this item. Our county administrative officer pointed out during budget hearings that the county of Santa Cruz isn't like every other county. There's lots of ways in which we could define that. But one of the things that the county of Santa Cruz is required to do is act like a municipality. Because so many people live in the unincorporated area, we provide so many services of a city, even though we don't have the same funding structure as a city. I was grateful several years ago when Assemblymember Mark Stone worked a path legislation to allow counties to have some of the same tools that cities have to raise funds to help pay for those municipal services. We also heard during budget hearings a great presentation from Sheriff Hart about work that could be done to address a pressing community problem around those suffering with a mental health disorder and substance use disorder, and a new way in which we might be able to attack the problem and really improve not only the lives of the people in that program, but the quality of life in Santa Cruz County. Likewise, we have seen an incredible amount of community support for our parks when we had a small funding measure on the ballot that received over 76% of the vote. Mariah Roberts, who was here today, has helped lead a fundraising campaign in which nearly $2 million has been raised to support a value that we all care, which is inclusivity and ensuring that we have the first all-inclusive park in Santa Cruz County. They have done that by building a broad array of supporters from little kids selling cookies on the street corner to service clubs to foundation. This park, however, will be available to all children in Santa Cruz County and will be a well-loved park. And so it seems appropriate to ask the entire county to help be part of that fundraising effort in order to help make that a reality. We wanna start construction by next summer. We also have other critical parks in our system. Lastly, we know that as we heard in our last measure, having resources to be able to address the issues facing people experiencing homelessness in Santa Cruz County is critical. It's important for our community and we have to do everything we can given that there are close to 3,000 people who are without shelter this evening. So I'm an enthusiastic supporter and we'll work hard to pass this measure. And I would approve, I would make the motion for all the recommended actions to put this sales tax measure on the ballot. I'll second that. We have a motion from Supervisor Leopold, a second from Supervisor Caput. Are there additional comments? Yeah, much of the same. I just think this, I see this measure as a sign of strong fiscal management in the county over the last decade or so. We hit a big recession. We had to cut back on sheriff's deputies. We had to put the parks department within the public works department has been mentioned. But now we're on good standing. And there's no question, as was mentioned, the pension issue obligation is over, is blooming over us like every other governing agency in the state of California. But I think we're really doing the right thing and focusing on this public health sheriff's cooperation issue as well as parks under the circumstances. As Sheriff Hart said, having deputies respond to 10 calls with people that are in a personal crisis of one type of another is not something that we realized 10 years ago. There's new challenges and it's gonna take a cooperative effort and I think we're, this is the right way to address that. And as well with our parks, we have a tremendous director, Jeff Gaffney, who's done more with what he has than most people could imagine and this whole parks department. But now providing this asset, and I really see parks as a tremendous county asset. So people can enjoy their leisure time and Leo's Haven is just a star in the sky. It's a tremendous asset for the county of Santa Cruz. So I think we're filling a void when we had to make cutbacks during the Great Recession and there's a tremendous need and a different need in that Sheriff or Public Safety Health Services Agency and there's always been a need for more parks in our growing county population. So I think we are focusing on the right things to do with the proposed sales tax and I'll support this measure. Thank you, Supervisor Coonerty. Yeah, I just wanna echo some of the comments which is that I really appreciate the leadership of this board and board's previous and county staff from top to bottom that have really made sure our fiscal house is in order that we have high bond ratings who are able to refinance and save taxpayers millions of dollars so that we're doing more with fewer employees than we had almost a decade ago. And by getting our house in order, I think we've been able to provide solid services to our residents in addition to starting to do some preventative programs, starting to do some innovative programs. What I see this measure doing in almost every aspect is spending more on deterrence by having a focused deterrence initiative and I appreciate the Sheriff's leadership on this. That's gonna save not only citizens time and discomfort and insurance charges but then the revolving doors of the jails and the revolving doors of the emergency rooms by focusing on a few people who cause a disproportionate impact to our community by having a navigation center that gets people stabilized sooner and gets them attached to resources sooner it also reduces impacts on the community and costs. And finally by having parks that are accessible across this county to all children is a really the most preventative because you're talking about a generational investment where you're giving people and families and kids somewhere positive to go and to build relationships and health and quality of life. And so I'm excited about this possibility and I'm excited about bringing forward an initiative that really benefits not only the community now but could benefit the community for generations to come. Thank you, Supervisor Caput. To clarify something to make it clear to the public too, when we're talking about voting on this tax for the parks, the sales tax in the four cities will not go up. That is correct. Okay. Then one legal question, it would be about half or more of the voters on this, they won't be taxed but it is a legal question. They can vote on a tax for somebody else to pay. The entire county will vote on the tax because they will be benefiting from it but it won't be, the tax will not be in place within the city limits of the four jurisdictions in the county. Okay, would that be the legal opinion also? City residents will pay the tax when they're shopping in the unincorporated area. The tax will not be imposed within city limits. Okay, so Watsonville's sales tax will stay at 9.25. That is correct. Thank you. Okay, well we have a motion and a second. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. I'd like to thank all of you who came out for this item. I'd like to ask the board, we have a couple more regular agenda items I believe will be pretty quick and are we comfortable with just going through them? All right, so move on to item six, which is a public hearing to consider resolution appointing the county road commissioner as outlined in the memo the deputy CAO and the director of public works have a resolution and the road commissioner appointment. We know that this is just a standard process but we have to have a public hearing on it. I don't believe there needs to be any presentation unless whether any questions from board members on this. Seeing none, I'll now open up the public hearing. Are there any questions or comments from the community on item six? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing and bring back for action. I will move approval of the recommended action. We have a motion from Leopold a second from Coonerty. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Passes unanimously. And I move on to item seven, also a public hearing to consider the proposed issuance of bonds by the California statewide community's development authority for the benefit of Montevista Christian School and the amount not to exceed $6 million and take related actions as recommended by the CAO. We do have a brief presentation on this. Very brief, very brief. Good morning members of the board. Christina Mallory, the county budget manager. So briefly on June 26th, your board set a TEFRA hearing which is a Tax Equity and Financial Responsibility Act hearing for today to authorize the proposed issuance of the bonds and an amount not to exceed $6 million by the California statewide community's development authority, CSCDA, for the benefit of the Montevista Christian School. Proceeds of the bonds will be used for the construction of a new 16,600 square foot multi-purpose building. Pursuant to the IRS code and elected body within the territorial limits of the project must hold the hearing to allow for public comment on a proposed issuance of bonds. The county has no liability for the repayment of the bonds. The proper 14-day notice for the hearing has been provided as required. Their representatives here from the financing team are available to answer any questions you may have. Jen Pencour from CSCDA and Mitchell Larano, I hope I didn't butcher that, the headmaster from Montevista Christian School. So it's recommended your board open the public hearing, hear any public comment, close the hearing and adopt the resolution. Thank you, are there any questions from board members? And I appreciate that you were here today. I know that it's been quite a long wait. Seeing none, we'll now open up the public hearing. Are there any comments or questions from the community on this item, item seven regarding this public hearing for the Montevista Christian School bonds? Seeing none, we'll bring it back to the board for a quick reaction. Second, we have a motion from Supervisor McPherson and a second from Supervisor Coonerty. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. Again, thank you all for waiting back there. Number eight is to consider a final reappointment of various at-large representatives to the Workforce Development Board for terms that expired June 30th of 2022. We had nominations accepted at our late June meeting and we have previous agenda materials. Are there any questions or comments from board members before we open it up to the community on this? We'll open up to the community. Any questions or comments on the at-large representatives of the Workforce Development Board? I move approval of the recommended actions. A motion from Leopold and a second from Coonerty. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? It passes unanimously. Now on item nine is to consider an ordinance of Mending Santa Cruz County Code Section 2.14050 relating to the authority to approve contract change orders and direct the clerk of the board to place the ordinance on the next available agenda for final adoption. This is outlined in the memo of the Deputy CAO and Director of Public Works. We have the ordinance that strike out an underline and the clean copy. Mr. Machado, welcome. Thank you for waiting. Yeah, thank you Chairman Friend, members of the board. The item before you is an amendment to ordinance 2.14.050 contract change orders. Section, this section of the county code provides authority to the Director of Public Works to approve and execute contract change orders. This update to the county code is to make it consistent with the California Public Contract Code. The public contract code sections also provide specific limits for which a public works director may approve contract change orders. Change orders above the limits require approval by the Board of Supervisors. Those limits are listed in the board letter. I'm here to answer any questions you may have. The recommended action is to approve and concept this ordinance amendment of the county code, authority to approve contract change orders and to direct the clerk of the board to place ordinance amendment on the next available agenda for final adoption. Thank you, I have no questions. Any questions from board members? Anybody in the community like to address us on item nine regarding this? Okay, we'll bring it back to the board for action. I'm glad to see this. Moving forward, I move approval of the recommended actions. I have a motion from Leopold, a second from Supervisor Coonerty. It's always good to see Mr. Wiesner in a suit and tie to know what it took. And now we know it brings item nine forward. So all those in favor? All right, opposed. It passes unanimously as a reminder. Item 12 was withdrawn by the appellants. That was the item on the public hearing for petition for rescission, so we don't have item 12. Regarding closed session, is there anything reportable planned? There is. Is there anybody from the community that'd like to address us on the items in closed session before we convene into closed session? Okay, seeing none, the board will recess into closed session or adjourn into closed session. And if there's something reportable, as we believe there will be, we'll report it at the end of closed session. Thank you all for being here and thank you for Community TV for being here today and reporting on it.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss a question which says that find the range of real values of x for which x-3 over x-4 is less than x-1 over x-2. Now before starting the solution of the question, we shall know a method. And that is the method of intervals. In this method the first step is to factorize the quadratic expression whose coefficient of x square is positive, express left hand side of the inequality in the form x-alpha the whole into x-beta the whole where y is less than beta. Secondly, plot the points alpha and beta on the number line and thus dividing the number line into three parts. Now after plotting the points alpha and beta on the number line from the very right point the sign says plus, minus and plus such that the expression x-alpha the whole into x-beta the whole is non-negative in the region to the right of beta. Now when x-alpha the whole into x-beta the whole is less than 0 then the required range is alpha is less than x is less than beta. As x-alpha the whole into x-beta the whole is negative so the value of x will lie in between this range as this region is negative or this region is less than 0. Now this method will work out as a key idea for solving out this question and now we will start with the solution. Now it is given that x-3 over x-4 is less than x-1 over x-2. This implies x-3 over x-4 minus x-1 over x-2 is less than 0. This implies on taking the LCM the LCM here is x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole and in the numerator it will be x-3 the whole into x-2 the whole minus x-1 the whole into x-4 the whole which is less than 0. Further this implies on multiplying these two expressions this gives x square minus 5x plus 6 minus on multiplying these two expressions this gives x square minus 5x plus 4 whole upon x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole and this is less than 0. Further this implies x square minus 5x plus 6 minus x square plus 5x minus 4 whole upon x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole is less than 0. Now this implies x square is cancelled with x square and 5x is cancelled with 5x so it will be 6 minus 4 which is 2 over x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole and this is less than 0. Now multiplying both sides by x-4 whole square into x-2 whole square this implies 2 into x-4 whole square into x-2 whole square whole upon x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole is less than 0. Further on solving this implies 2 into x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole is less than 0. Now dividing both sides by 2 this implies x-4 the whole into x-2 the whole is less than 0. Now putting each factor equal to 0 we get x is equal to 4 and x is equal to 2. Now by the method of intervals we will plot these points on the number line. So now we have plotted the points to 4 on the number line. Now starting from the right put the signs of plus minus and plus as x-2 the whole into x-4 the whole is less than 0. So according to the formula given in the key idea if x-alpha the whole into x-beta the whole is less than 0 then the required range is alpha is less than x is less than beta. So here the required range is 2 is less than x is less than 4 as alpha is here 2 and beta is 4. This means that the expression x-2 the whole into x-4 the whole is negative when x is lying in this range. So this is the solution of the given question and that's all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.


Hello everyone, in this video I will be showing you how we can use Capwing, a very simple to use web-based tool which is also packed with awesome features that you can use to edit videos and also to even create your own videos directly from the platform itself. So all you have to do is go to capwing.com and sign in using your google account if you want to like what I'm doing now. Once you sign in, you will see your personal space and you can create a new project or work on the existing one. Like now I'm clicking on the existing one and you can see you can start with blind cameras or you can upload your existing video and do the editing here. So I'm going to demonstrate to you how you can use it directly to record video using your webcam or even your screen. So right let's try it. So to use the recording feature in capwing all you have to do is just go to record here the button here and you have a few options. Record screen camera, record screen only, record camera only or record only. So let's say I want to do both. So I'll be recording my screen and camera and you have to allow your browser to you know to allow the usage of microphone and camera. So I'm going to allow this and you will see the choices of microphone that you have on your devices and once you're happy right you just click start recording. For the screen you get to choose which screen you want. If you have more than one screen you can choose like my case I can choose an underwater monitor or you can choose window or you can choose the tab right whichever you want to the one that you want to be sharing. Let's say I'm going to share my screen for this slide. So I'm going to share and all I have to do is go to my slide and start talking and you know disexplain whatever I want to explain in my in my video using my my slide and so on. Once I'm happy with the recording I'll just stop and you get your recording here. Now what you can see is they are recorded as two separate file or two separate material they are not how to put it they are not like you know in most cases it'll be screen shooting together in one right and we cannot do whatever they think you want so I'll really like this feature. So if you go to timeline and you go to media you get to see here so this one because I didn't put it full screen you can put it full screen in this case or let's say you forgot to put it full screen and you would like to crop it you just click crop and you can crop it right just crop it according to what you like here done cropping also I forgot to tell you the cameras here I didn't I didn't choose the cameras so I probably need to set as white screen right just now I should have done this earlier right but then again let's say you forget about it you can just enlarge your your point just now and then also adjust your camera and all I have to do is go to my slide and start talking and um you know okay done cropping for example so I can just put it here or whatever I like or if I want to put it side by side I can make this smaller and then do my you know editing here and and for the background you can also adjust it if you want to you can change the color based on color right if you want or you can choose some background here you can just search for background and put it in okay so let's say while you're editing this let's say you're a certain part that you want to highlight right like like if I move on here if I want to use some elements I can just go to elements here you know I can even put things like you know like all this element which is very fun like you want to circle something you can put it in you can see it's in inserting this during this time or timeline right so you just you using my so you can add it in or there's there are other things here right slide up and all that you can even do things like um progress bar if you want to add progress bar so the progress bar will appear here so let's say if I want to play this and you can see the progress bar here so it's very nicely done and you can also add waveform if you have any audio so let's say if I use this you can also have the waveform and in case you like to show like this you know like this one this side you can put it right okay so but those are some some features that you can include the waveform is actually replacing your your video right so there are other other cool things here like all this emoji if you need to add just too many for me to try it out one by one right if you have any other videos you can also embed videos let's say you would like to you know the transition from one after you finish talking you would like to have some video so let's say I just add the video here so the video will be added to your timeline as well you can see here right and there are other features here like effect timing or even you want to animate right this kind of you know animation that you can add in let's say if I put moving zoom I can see it's moving the zooming in right there are also other features like audio that you can add in like your background music and all that there are also features extra features like template shapes sorry fact or even plugin that you can you can try so I can also add tags if you want to on your video let's say you want to add something here right video on something you just put your tags here you can choose what types of tags you want and and all that okay but yeah I mean this is capwing once you're done just export it the free account allow you to up 720p I think that's sufficient for a video that you're going to use for your teaching and learning or even for you know for simple viewing on mobile phone a smartphone you don't need probably the super HD also it allows you to have three videos without watermark you know after exporting every month so it will reset every every month so this is also quite quite interesting so if you don't mind the watermark then you can create as many videos as you want uh within that month all right let's say if you do not want to download it you just want to quickly share it then you can use the share link here and share it with your your friends you know or whoever want to view your video and you can also edit the project right and of course once it's ready you can download the the video and all I have to do is go to my site and start talking and so you can see this is the output so you can just download it and then upload to your other platform like youtube and and so on so if you'd like to try capwing just click on the link event in the description down there and then leave your comment on what you think about it and also uh ask me if you have further question thank you so much and happy trying


Good. So, the second speaker of the session, which is a pleasure to have, is Axel Cortescubero. And he will talk about GHD as first order in the thermodynamic form factor expansion. A, thermodynamic form factor expansion. Please. So first, sorry, there's like a construction next door. I'm in my house, so there might be noise. And yeah, so thanks for the invitation for organizers. All right, so let's just start. So I will focus in particular. One plus one the integral quantum field theories, because they are particularly simple kind of integral models. This is my one slide summary of quantum field theory. So what we have is a space time continuum is in a continuing theory. And the things we want to observe for correlation functions. So here is a two point function where we have one operator inserted one point and one. And then you look at things like correlation functions, which are rather function of these two operators issues and the separations between the two operators. And this is the picture in a boring old vacuum. This would be very cool to do in the 80s. Okay, so there's a general strategy to compute this kind of correlators in a integral field theory, which is a form factor expansion. So what you do is you insert between the two operators complete set of eigenstates of your theory. And there's a few nice things afforded to you by your relativistic invariance like you can parameterize the X and T dependence in this nice relativistic way, depending on the momentum and energy of this eigenstates. So in a relativistic integral field theory, you know what these eigenstates look like because what you have is a number of particle states on top of vacuum so you can have any number n of particles and you parameterize each particle by the rapidity, which is a way to parameterize their energy and momentum in a relativistic way. Here I'm focusing on a simple, particularly simple example where you just have one kind of particle with one mass and Anyway, so you defined this. This is what is defined as a form factor, which is the matrix element of your field with a given particle states and the vacuum. And the point is, if you know a handful of these four factors, you can approximate correlation function quite simply. So, yes, the first few excitations on top of the vacuum are enough for if you're interested in the long distance properties of the correlation. So, for instance, here for the two point function, the one particle form factor already tells you a lot. So here you put only the one particle state on top of the vacuum. And from this you can compute long distance approximation that you can do a stationary phase approximation and this integral over the rapidity of that one particle. And that tells you that generically a massive integrable field theory has some exponential behavior in the two part function where this either decay or oscillatory depends on whether the separation is time like or space like. So here are a few nice properties of form factors in particular that we will need in this talk. So this is a story for my rustic pictures. There is a worldwide pandemic. So this is what this is what we deserve now. Yeah, so yeah, so this is a nice way of drawing a form factor where you say this is the operator and I have my incoming state with n particles coming in. And here's my outgoing state where I have the vacuum. So this property in our realistic theories that I can from this one obtain a form factor with one outgoing particle by using crossing symmetry you turn one incoming into one outgoing particle and that amounts to shifting the rapidity. Another point is that you have annihilation polls, which basically means that an outgoing particle can annihilate with one of the incoming particles, and this is reflected in the fact that there is a simple poll in the form factor when this rapidity coincides with one of these rapidities and residue of the form factor at that location is proportional to the form factor without those two particles. So those particles having annihilated. And that gives you a sort of a recurrence relation that if you go to that particular point, you can relate the form factor with the one with two fewer particles. And you can do the same with this one also have has polls, a particular values of their business. So now let's talk about GHD, I were here. So this is my interpretation of GHD what it's good for is, so you have some effective theory that allows you to compute correlation functions. So you want to compute a correlation function now on some fancy excited state. So here I call it role, where is some thermodynamic state which has a finite energy density. And the nice point is that this state can also break translation in variants. And that's when GHD is particularly useful. For instance, so this is a kind of state we will examine later on, which you can look at our excited state which looks like generalized keeps example but with a kind of position dependent chemical potentials that makes it a continuous state. And, yeah, so GHD allows you to compute nice things and we are excited states like this, instead of the vacuum which is what you put. So, how GHD works with another rustic picture. The approach is basically you take your space time, and you cut it off into little cells, which are large in a sense that you can do a average of the pills within one cell here. The main assumption in GHD is that you say, okay, so if I look at an operator within one cell, the expectation value here in this cell looks sort of like a normal GD expectation value, but with a chemical set of chemical rich, but with a position dependent. So GHD is basically gives you a way to find an evolution equation for these chemical potentials and once you have that you can get your local expectation values. But this is an assumption in GHD, which is one of the things we want to do here is find this from very brute, very stupid form factors and arrive at this thing instead of making this nice educated assumption. So here are the two goals of what we want to do here. GHD especially shines when you have in homogeneous excited states, but it also has some nice insights for homogeneous states. So there's a particularly nice prediction from this paper for a two point function in a homogeneous but highly excited state. I'll show you what this prediction is later but we will match the prediction from GHD with just doing our form factors. Here there's a spoiler that you see that I have scaled this two point function with the linearly with the separation in time between the two operators because the prediction from GHD gives you a correlator that decays as one over T and you see this is different from the ground state correlators that I showed you before that decay exponentially. So something must happen differently between our ground state intuition that you get exponential decay and this GHD prediction. And then the other thing we want to get to is So we want to compute using form factors one point function in a homogeneous state. So two point functions in homogeneous one point. So let's stop. So this review of thermodynamics what these excited states look like the homogeneous ones. Basically, to say you have a thermodynamic larger number of particles so you have n particles in your in your state. That number grows with the system size and you keep it you keep the density fixed so there's a thermodynamic background and you can further characterize this background by saying the probability that you will find that background a certain particle so you can specify the distribution of this. For instance, you can calculate the energy of this thermodynamic ground state by basically adding over the energy of each particle in this background, governed by this distribution. And I use the ground state loosely because as we'll see. It's not a ground state because you can go to energy lower than that energy as well as higher. So now what we want to do is look at form factors, which are the particle excitations which leave above this thermodynamic background, instead of above the vacuum. So we want to look as we want to study the excitations on top of this thermodynamic state which looks something like this. So this is a particular state that realizes this distribution, and then if you want you can add a couple more particles on top of that state. Now an important thing is that when you add a certain number of particles on top of that state that brings some of the application to the background particles. You can also add a particle with a prime that is not exactly the same background state, but you shifted it by adding more particles. And then the point is that you can also now remove particles from the background, which in this relativistic case is equivalent to adding a particle with a shape the probability like this. So this is different now from the ground state so you didn't have this. You can add that in the ground state because you can remove particles from the ground state. So now we want to look at what we did for the ground state to look at the first form factors that contribute to a two point function. So here is a quick study of what are the low lying excitations on top of this thermodynamic background. So this is something similar to the ground state. So I say so this is my form factor defined on this thermodynamic state row where I say I have the thermodynamic state my operator and the thermodynamic state with one particle on top. So the point is because it's very similar to the one particle form factor from before it actually leads to very qualitatively similar exponential decay behavior. So this is not what we want to reach a GST. Similarly, you could take a one whole form factor where you just remove one particle from the form factor but that will also be to an exponential behavior. So these these two contributions actually are so bleeding they don't contribute to this generalized hydrodynamics regime. So that's how actually the relevant low lying excitation is the one particle whole pair. You can see this is kind of more important than the case slower than these contributions because this one particle whole pair excitation is gapless. So the point is you can create the particle on a whole pair with almost opposite energy that almost cancel each other with a little bit of energy as well. So now what is what we have to do is just straightforward calculated this guy so this is what we want to calculate in our field theory the one particle whole pair on top of some thermodynamic background. Actually, we won't do all of this but we only need to do a simpler thing because we are only interested in the long distance limit of the correlation function. So, when we put this guy in a correlation function we're going to integrate over rapidities and we're going to do a stationary phase approximation. So that leads to the fact that we only need this limit of the front factor where the two particles are rapidities close to each other, the particle on the whole. So, here's the, so this is the whole paper is calculating this thing where I won't go through the gory details of that calculation but just a general strategy. Just consider the finite volume revalorization of this guy, which looks like this.  So, yeah, so here this is a normal form factor on top of the vacuum. But here so this is the set of rapidities corresponding to your background thermodynamic background state in the outgoing state, and this is your. So I'm talking about this set of particles and this set of particles. So here where this set of particles gets shifted because I added extra excitation so this get a shift. So here I have background particles background particles plus a shift, which the point is that we are completely able to calculate this shift on each of these background particles and it depends on the rapidity of the additional particles and we can work out very carefully what this thing goes to, you know, this nice limits. The price this shift is proportional to this cap so as I take this kappa to zero, all of these sheets will also go to zero. Now, I told you there are annihilation poles whenever some data equals another data plus Pi I so this expression is going to have a bunch of poles is all poles, which looks scary but it's actually nice because that tells you a lot about the structure so also all of these particles are about to annihilate with all of these particles when I take this kappa to zero and this will give you a nicer recurrence relation between this form factor and the one with two fewer particles and then that's also related to fewer particles and pure particles so in the end the expression looks like this where you have all of our form factors with different number of particles where this corresponds to this recurrence relation that this form factor contains all the form factors with fewer and fewer particles and the important point here is that so here we have a fancy form factor we define on top of this thermodynamic background but the form factors in each side are not fancy form factors these are the standard form factors on top of the bucket and this denotes that is a connected part of that form faction which good for you if you know what that is but I won't stop and the point is these are all in principle known all stuff from the 80s that you know how to complete this form factors and knowing this you can compute this address form factors now you take this two part a particle whole form factor put it in your correlator very simply like a couple of lines and you get this two point correlation function so here is just a contribution from the one particle whole pair form factor which in turn is a in turn is a sum over an infinite number of standard form factors and the point is this prediction this computation agrees exactly with the prediction from GHD from that paper by Benjamin that's that for that so so you do the firm the first leading form factor in this simple limit where the rapidities are equal and you recover the prediction from GHD now moving on a bit quickly so so something else that can be done is to look at one point function when you have an inhomogeneous state for instance this state that I described before described by a position dependent chemical potentials so the strategy here is so we want to compute this just with the form factors stupidly without making typical assumptions from GHD so the strategy is so if you assume this this space dependent is slow enough then that you can kind of split this guy into cells where it's European just arbitrary X dependent you have piecewise constant chemical potentials yeah basically you can break this guy into into blocks of size L where does the size of the cell and so there's then you can kind of redefine these chemical potentials of each block by extracting one one overall chemical potential which doesn't depend on the cell you're in so this is arbitrary any chemical potential that I want I will fix it later and the point of this is to kind of extract an overall chemical potential here such that this guy looks like many point functions so here you have the GD expectation value of a bunch of operators one from each cell which corresponds to each of these cells here and this approximation holds in the limit of large cells and what we want to do is to choose the most convenient arbitrary chemical potential that makes this expression the simplest and now this correlation functions we can do with form factors important point is that not all the operators here are non trivially correlated to each other because the point is that this many point function looks like this you have your operator and here you have all your cells in your initial state and the point is that the different cells are not correlated to each other in this leading term we want to calculate because kind of they are outside of each other's life so the correlation between the two of them is the case exponentially while the correlation between this cell and your operator is within the light cone so you only need to evaluate the correlation of the operator between the operator and each cell within the light cone of that operator so in the end your one point function looks like this where you have first just a zero point function of that operator and then corrections from the two point function between your operator and each of these cells in the initial state and the point is these are two point functions that we know how to calculate this is exactly as the one from the previous result like homogeneous correlation function with this set of betas I am yet to choose so we know these guys how to calculate them we can calculate them but the point that makes even nicer is that I am still free to choose this arbitrary betas there exists there is a single simplest choice of this beta which makes kind of so because I know the expression of all these two point functions I can see from that expression that I can make them all vanish at once by choosing a particularly judicious set of chemical potentials and then that happens to be exactly the one that is predicted by the question motions of GHD so I do that I choose this all of these terms vanish I just remain with this one point function in this state and this is the prediction from generalized hydrodynamics derived without assuming you know so that's also yeah so one has access to higher corrections here if one is so inclined by including more fun factors and grinding through it I was not so inclined so there's a future list of things that one would like to do so I looked at homogeneous two point function and inhomogeneous one point function naturally we would like to look at inhomogeneous two point functions for which there are GHD predictions but we haven't gotten there yet another thing is we would like to calculate corrections like this that go beyond the standard GHD predictions and perhaps we can compare with new methods that are coming up recently to go beyond the GHD like for example the Paul I think will talk about quantum corrections to GHD Jacopo might talk about diffusive GHD and so on yeah so there's also you can take classical and or non-relativistic limits of this theory and there you can really compare with a lot of nice doable numerics and things so I don't always have the attention of so many physicists around the world so I would like to use this opportunity to leave you with a much more important and timely problem in physics which is this okay so thanks Axel thanks for the very interesting talk and also for the last slide are there any quick questions I'm sure there are many because it was very interesting but quick for me please Jacopo hi Axel so GHD basically is the saddle point of correlation functions right I mean you obtain GHD if you take saddle points of your correlation functions like large T yes yes basically everything that goes beyond GHD is by not taking the saddle points or there are also other saddle points that you can take that are not included in GHD so to my understanding of this result so the the point function here I wrote so this is the leading contribution and I wrote here plus non-standard GHD corrections so this comes from two sources so one is that so this is from the one particle whole term but not only that this this is in this limit of equal rapidity which comes from stationary phase approximation now stationary phase approximation has corrections which come at higher order in T so this contribute here so there's from the same particle whole form factor corrections but there's also corrections from higher form factors with more particle holes and those completed but the nice thing is you can show those are higher so but if you take like for example the two particle whole pair form factor and do stationary phase approximation the leading contribution is 1 over T square and you can show that yes but the question was more like if you can find also a saddle I mean I mean because now you're taking stationary phase approximation around certain minima right of dispersion relation but maybe there are other minima that are not included in the because these are always limit of zero momentum which are like adrodynamic states but I mean I don't have knowledge of something like that not that I have seen something like that other very quick questions I have one please go ahead hi this is very interesting the question is have you tried to go beyond that point you know that you can compute arbitrary correction after that point have you thought about it or yeah first nice room you have in space like yeah yeah so yes actually we're kind of working on that so one current project we have and we're fighting about this for a while is going from this form factor to the general going from this to this is a project we've been talking about for a while and it's not that simple but I think we'll do it in the near future and once you have the general form factor for any for any two rapidities then you can compute corrections to that so then you can yeah thank you thank you very much
