If you're here today and would like to speak about a case, please provide your name clearly into the microphone, and please be sure to sign in either at the back of the room or at the podium for documentation purposes. If you're here today to speak about a case, you must speak up when the Chairperson calls for public comment. And I'll do the roll call. Mr. Causey. Mr. Cohn. Ms. Davis. Mr. Hart. Ms. Thomas. And Mr. Frost. We have a quorum. We have a meeting format. Applicants with requests before the planning commission are allotted a presentation time of 10 minutes. This time should include what is not limited to an overview of the project, case history, and any pertinent meetings held regarding the request. This time also includes all persons presenting information on behalf of the applicants such as attorneys, engineers, and architects. This time limit does not include or staff regarding the request. During the public comment period, members of the general public are given the opportunity to address their concerns and intervals of two minutes. After the public comment period the applicants have five minutes to respond. Once the planning commission begins deliberation, no additional comments will be created by the applicant or the public. The administrator does have a time and their time has expired. The planning commission deserves the right to amend these procedures on a case-by-case basis. Are there any changes to the agenda? There's been one change since publication. Case number nine, which was S plan-2023-0005 3800 overbroke drive has been deferred by the applicant. And Mr. Frost, is your microphone on? Maybe not. How about now? Thank you. This is new equipment. I don't know how to run it yet. The planning commission uses the consent agenda to approve non-controversial or routine matters by single motion and vote. Examples of such items include approval of site plans, annexations and street names. If a member of the planning commission or the general public wants to discuss an item that's on the consent agenda, you must speak up after the consent agenda is read. Then that item is removed from the consent agenda and considered during the regular meeting. The planning commission then approves the remaining consent agenda items. The first item on the consent agenda is approval of the April 13, 2023 minutes. The first case is the land use map amendment and zoning map amendment for appending annexation which is annex 2023-0002 711 Bluff Road and 950 Rosewood Drive. This is request recommendation on the assignment of the land use classification of industrial and the assignment of zoning of light industrial district for appending annexation. The second item on the consent agenda is the land use classification of urban edge residential large lot UER2 and the assignment of zoning of large lot reserve district LLR a portion within the flood plane overlay district for appending annexation. The next case, case number 3 annex 2023-0005 501 Jacobs Mill Pond Road district for appending annexation. The property is currently classified as neighborhood medium density and zoned RU by Richland County. Case 4 annex 2023-0007 7716 Garner's Ferry Road request recommendation on the assignment of land use classification of community activity corridor AC2 and the assignment of zoning of general commercial district for appending annexation. The property is currently classified as neighborhood medium density and zoned GC by Richland County. And under major site plan review, case 5 splan-2023-0006 the 1000 block of Emerald Creek Drive request major site plan approval for the construction of a cabana and pool in the late side at Wood Creek Farms. The property is zoned PD plan development for Wood Creek Farms. Case 6 splat-2023-0032 13.39 acres at Watermill Drive request site plan approval for the construction of a 72-lot single family residential subdivision, the Watermill Town Homes Phase 2. The property is currently zoned PD plan development for Wood Creek Farms. And then there's a street name case 7 sn-2023-0004 a street name request to name streets within the harvest and grove subdivision phases 5 and 6, yellow saw lane, blue duck lane, wild duck lane, drake grove lane, tundra teal lane, green widget road and red gadwell way. The properties are zoned residential mix district RM2. And finally there's a zoning text amendment case number 8 TA-2023-0002 amendment to the text of Chapter 17 of the Columbia Code of Ordinances entitled unified development ordinance of the city of Columbia, South Carolina, the text of which is in your packet. The consent agenda. Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone from the planning commission or the public that would like any item removed from the consent agenda? Anyone from planning commission? Anyone from the public would like to see any item removed? Here and non, I will entertain a motion. Mr. Chairman, I motion to approve the minutes from April 13, 2023. And the consent agenda. And the consent agenda. Got a motion to approve the consent agenda as read. Can I get a second? Got a motion and a second. All in favor signify by saying aye. Any opposed? No. The ayes have it. The motion is approved. We'll move on to regular agenda, but since that one's been deferred there are no cases. Is there any other business? I think Mr. Chairman the public who you all met did have to resign from the planning commission. He's got an out of town assignment is going to be gone more than he has been so he did officially resign. So we will await his reappointment. And I think that's it today. If there's no further business I'll accept the motion that we adjourn. So moved, Mr. Chair. Second. All in favor signify by saying aye. Any opposed? The meeting is adjourned.


I'm just having a good time, having a bad day. What's up, guys? Welcome to episode number one of the Bad Hair Day podcast. My name is Matt Beck, those of you guys that haven't been following me or don't know about freesalon education, it's an online education resource. Over 1,000 free hair tutorials. I've been doing YouTube content for over 10 years or about 10 years now, which I can't even believe. And over that 10 years, I've created tutorials, I've created podcasts, all kinds of different stuff grown social following on all the different platforms. And this podcast is going to be a little bit different than ones I've done in the past because I don't want to go into this. I want to go into it with a few thoughts and really just talk freely and talk about things that are going on, whether they're going on and things I've dealt with throughout the week or things that have happened in our business or on social media or in celebrity hair or whatever it is. I don't even know what celebrity hair is anymore, but anyways, and those are things I want to talk about. I want to really just give my thoughts on things that are happening in the industry, hopefully create a really fun community through this. Where you guys ask questions, if you're on a platform like YouTube or you're seeing this on Facebook or in video form and you can comment, make sure you're commenting any questions that you have or things that you want answered on a future show. Let me know because that's what it's all about. I like the communication back and forth that we can do and it'll give me ideas for future shows and different things like that. I also want to be able to have this platform to update you guys on things that are happening in Freestyle on Education. I just put out a couple of videos last week. So if you guys haven't seen those, there were really fun videos. I did the octopus layered haircut. I didn't come up with that haircut. It was something that I read about and decided to create an education video on my take on how I would do that style of haircut or how I would cut that style. And then I did a shag haircut that was really 70s inspired which I really liked doing. And I got into the styling portion of it a little bit more. I think that's something that this year I really want to focus on. I try to, and I don't know if you guys are the same way but I try to like look at things that maybe I struggle with a little bit and then try to research and find people that are doing it in a way that fits me, right? So I get messages a lot from people that are talking about they've tried to learn haircutting or from teachers or whatever it is and I'm the person that they connected with the most. And I think that I'm always searching for that person in my life as well. So I had that through learning haircutting and all of that but then I had it in photography. Frono's Photo was a YouTube channel that I watched a lot just to learn about camera equipment and different things but he taught it in a way that I connected to. Then there was Casey Neistat who was a popular vlogger at the time 2016 timeframe where I was also making YouTube content almost daily at that point and I took inspiration from what he was doing and tried to transfer into my world of what I was creating. So I think it's important to always be looking for that inspiration. So with that being said, the Shag hairstyle that I was doing, there's this guy on Instagram I forget his handle, I'll try to put it up on the video so you guys can see. But Ben Brown was one of the guys that kind of showed him to me and I really love this way, this style about how he puts the clips in the hair and kind of holds it in place. And I still don't fully understand it but I play around with it a little bit and that's the fun part of the industry. That's the part that drives me that makes me wanna do better. It is when I learn something new and it's kind of what's driven my career to be honest. I was in hair school, not really, and this was 2004, long time ago. But I was in hair school and I loved hair cutting and that was kind of what I fell in love with first in the first few months. And maybe because it came a little bit easier to me and everything else was a little more foreign to me and then one of my teachers gave me an entire giant box of VHS tapes that were just collections of old hair cutters, like classic collections like Tony and Guy and there was some Paul Mitchell videos in there. Michael O'Rourke was in there. There was a ton of guys and just classic, cool hair cutting. Some of it was dry hair cutting and texturizing. So that box of videos I watched a ton and I learned so much from it and that's kind of what it's all about. It's really where my thought process and just my drive and everything came from that box of videos. So that's when I look at the internet, YouTube is that, but it's bigger, right? So you have the opportunity to research and find and it's just so funny to me when people talk about like, they're always asking such simple questions and to me, it's never even been a question if I like something or I love something, I just figure it out. And I think a lot of people need, like they just want permission I guess to say it's okay to go figure it out. And that kind of leads me into, the industry and one of the first things I kind of really wanted to catch to touch on is, I had a client come in the other day and they were asking about the latest trend. And I just thought it was kind of like funny in a way and let me know your guys' thoughts on this subject because it's one, I have two things with clients that I just think are kind of funny. And I do believe that you should, you come to a hairdresser, they're a professional and your goal is to give them ideas. But at the same time, we're in a world now where you have all the ideas at your fingertips. It's kind of our job now to take that idea and make it happen or to let's say you're like, I really want a ton of layers and I want this fringe and like you have really fine thin hair and so now as a professional I gotta guide you in different ways or adapt that style to you, but you should be able to come in with something that you like, right? And but at the same time, I get it cause you know, and this is me working out things in my head, but for me is I do want to give advice on a style or a trend, but when you just say what are the latest trends, I don't even think that exists anymore. Like, do you guys, there are trends, but there's so many that there's not just, it's not just the Jennifer Aniston Rachel haircut, you know, like that doesn't, that's not a thing anymore.  There's so many styles and trends that go along with what you like and what you want.  Well, for me, it's whatever looks great on you and fits your style. So, what do you like? Like, who are your favorite people that you like look up to style-wise or, you know, things like that. So, I always, I just thought that was funny because I don't really think in my mind there are trends anymore. Like, a trend, it's not like the trend. It's what do you love? And what fits you and that's where we're gonna go. So, my goal now when I have a client in the chair is to really just talk about the different things that they like and start fitting it in. What is their lifestyle like? What is their job, you know, and things like that. And that's another funny thing. And this was like an article that I read the other day and I'll actually can pull it up. Like, what is their job, right? Well, that shouldn't matter anymore. Like, we're in 2022, it should not matter, but it does, unfortunately. And I just saw this, like, if Chick-fil-A, so Chick-fil-A, first off, this was the headline, read this if you have dyed hair and want to work at Chick-fil-A. So, apparently, Chick-fil-A has an issue, of course, with no blue hair, blue nails or blue lipstick. You're not allowed to look different or express yourself. One redditor commented. So, somebody from Reddit commented that. Employees are required to have to be clean-shaven, well-groomed, and sporting a natural look. The handbook includes phrases such as neat and professional appearance, unnatural hair colors, and eccentric styles are not permitted, and makeup must be subdued and worn in good taste and not to be distracted. So, I just don't understand why Chick-fil-A, so there's so, like, so many people say good things about the food, and then also the politeness of, I don't know if that's a word, but, the team or the staff there, and, but it's just so crazy to me that, like, these places, like, what does that have to do with, do people really care, like, do we really care when we go to get a chicken sandwich if somebody has blue hair and blue nails? Do we? Let me know. If you think that that's a big deal, like, for me, I just feel like we're at a time, like, why does it matter how somebody's expressing themselves? It's not, I'm first off gonna look at that person and I'm gonna have my thoughts, but it doesn't make me then think something of Chick-fil-A. And I have plenty of thoughts about Chick-fil-A, so, you know, if we're going down that, like, it has nothing to do with blue hair. So, you know, what do you guys think? Do you think, do you still think that there should be guidelines to somebody's appearance and where do you think that guideline sits? Because that's where I'm just a little confused on who is the person that gets to make that judgment. Yes, I guess the owner of a company, you know, but I just feel like, you know, to say, I just love that they have blue lipstick in there. So that's that, but let me know what you think. I think it's crazy. This was an article from Mashed. If you wanna read more about it, I'll link it below. You guys can get the full, you know, story, but it just seems a little crazy. This was another article that I found that I thought was just mind-blowing to me because I've gotten into this kind of mode with clients when they're asking about their hair and, you know, damaging it and should they blow dry? Should they not blow dry? What products to use, all that stuff? And kind of my go-to would be, try not to blow dry as often if you can. Obviously, in my mind, I always thought air drying it made the most sense. If you can, if you can't, blow drying, it's fine. And I know a lot of people that will blow dry. Some people will only do a blow dryer, no hot tools. Some people will do a blow dryer and hot tools. Some people will just air dry or just diffuse or whatever. And some people use heat-protectant products. Some people don't. So my professional opinion, what I've always told any client sitting in my chair is that air drying would probably be with products. So put products in your hair, air dry it, conditioning products, things like that. And that is probably gonna be the safest bet. And then if you need to dry it, then obviously try not to do hot tools every day and definitely use thermal-protectant products on your wet hair and your dry hair as you're going through it. So this article was from InStyle Magazine says, hold on, is air drying your hair more damaging than using heat? And I thought that this was a really interesting article. They did a study. It was performed by a group of doctors who wanted to test the impacts of hair drying in different settings. There were five groups that each blow dried their hair at various distances for differing lengths of time. So one of those groups didn't get any heat and was air dried at room temperature. The results showed that although using a hair dryer causes more surface damage than natural drying, using a hair dryer at a distance of 15 centimeters or six inches with continuous motion caused less damage than drying your hair naturally. So this was, and I read more into the article and basically what they're saying is that the interior of the hair, I'll make this real simple. And then again, you guys can read the article if you want, link it below. But basically the interior part of the hair swells when you don't blow dry it. So what that can do is cause breakage because it's swelling and the elasticity of the hair is only so much, there's only so much elasticity. So over time, if you just let your hair air dry and it keeps swelling up, it can cause breakage that way. And then if you blow dry your hair, it doesn't allow the hair to expand like that but you can create surface damage. So this is literally life, right?  Like you don't have, no matter what, you're gonna have damage in your hair. It's just which damage do you want? Damage from the inside or outside? So, but I just thought it was fascinating. And so for me, it still takes me to the fact that maybe just not using hot tools, the best bet would be to share with my clients that to make sure that you keep your hair as healthy as possible, use the blow dryer further distance away from your head, use thermal protecting products and maybe a brush, soft bristles if you can and just don't overload it with heat and you should be pretty good. I love that as I'm talking, I'm using blow dry, like I'm blow drying the hair as I go through. Oh well. But yeah, so that's gonna be my moving forward. I'm gonna make sure that that's what I'm talking to my clients about and maybe not telling them to air dry their hair as much and try to use that technique. And then machine gun Kelly dies his hair pink. He cannot work at Chick-fil-A, so that's official. I think his hair is cool. I actually just wanted to go over it. I'm still not sure if I figured this guy out yet, but his music brings me back to when I was in high school. So I think that part's cool. But the, you know, he, I like, I dig the pink, but beyond that, I'm looking at the cut because that's just kind of where my brain goes. And to describe it to you guys, he's really definitely, it's kind of a diffused, he's got pretty thin hair, it looks like. He diffuses it a little bit or just scrunches it. It has kind of a gel, crunchy look to it. And then it's, I can't see the back, but it's definitely kind of a slight undercut taken tighter at the temples. And all worn, worn, worn pretty forward, which seems to be, if we had to say a trend right now, that would be definitely one of the trends. And it's worn in so many different ways.  He's got super straight hair, wants it to be wavy, which is I think a lot of the kids are trying to do that. And this is kind of a version. The bad hair day is kind of a trend right now. It would be my thought process. And because it doesn't look like he's having a good hair day, it just looks like he woke up, scrunched some stuff in his hair and went. And those tend to be the trends as we, the last however many years I've been alive, like the texture, messiness, bed head, like all of these things became trendy. And this is just another form of it, longer haircuts. I think getting through COVID, people didn't go to the hairdresser as much, had longer hair and embraced it. And this is kind of the evolution of that. So last little bit, Kendall Jenner debuted her brand new red hair makeover during Fashion Week. The supermodel was out in Paris on February 28th when she had her new bright red hair down and straight. It's so funny, because like the title of this is Kendall Jenner is unrecognizable, but obviously they recognized her and they took pictures of her. So she's not unrecognizable. But what do we think of her red tone? I think it's soft. It looks almost like a muted tone a little bit. Not a lot of movement in it, it looks pretty one level. Her hair cut, center parting, some movement around the face, real light towards the ends, almost thin looking in this photo. And looks a little bit thicker in the other area. So yeah, so that's her new look. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments. All right, so that's episode number one guys. I hope you enjoyed it.  So I hope you guys are into the podcast. Let me know what you think on any of the platforms that you can, send me a message. I love to hear your thoughts and this is gonna be fun.

Okay, with that in mind, let's jump over to our man Tim Ortt. Folks, we talk to Tim every Tuesday and Thursday on my dad's program. And you can check out Tim at theord-oracle.com, that's his website, check it out, please. Always interested in this one. Tim Ortt, quite a day to have you on, man. Good afternoon. You're right. How are you doing? I'm doing well. You know, I was listening to your program when you were talking to my dad, Tim, on Tuesday. And boy, you guys sounded pretty bullish, man. I remember you saying, maybe this thing carries through to August, and boy, we got quite a head start.  Just give me one second. But boy, what do you think of this market, man, as we're accelerating? I know you love looking at some ratios or everything, but boy, we got some movement today, Tim. Right. Actually, just look at chart one, which is the monthly SPX, and I did a Bollinger ban on it. You can go back, fathers, if you want, but why I want to point out here is the times when actually month-ends is a week from today. So we haven't hit month-end yet, but anyhow, if it closes here or higher, it could be actually a short-term trouble for the market. The reason why is because when the S&P, I did this as the counterfeit charting, and when the candle closes above 50% between the high and low of the candle, that candle closes 50% above the upper Bollinger ban, usually you get a consolidation. And I marked the times on the chart there, the times when the candle was more than 50% or more above the upper Bollinger ban. And right now, it's kind of probably the chart may be kind of hard to see. No, we got it out there. So we got it out there. Yup. 50% mark. And I can kind of see how it's peaking above that line. I can, yeah. Yeah, but you want it, it can actually peak above it. It can be 10% above it, 20% above it, but when it gets above 50%, that's when you can have trouble, and that's where we are right now. So actually the most bullish thing you can have was for the market to back off right now, but closes here, chances are, then you're going to have a consolidation because the probabilities are pretty high.  I don't think that's anything happening here, where I do think it's probably four months in, which is a week from today, the market may just back off here, not a lot, but a little bit, and do a mild consolidation because I'm thinking what's going on here is the market's up too fast, too quick on a short-term basis, and if you flip to, see if I do that chart three, we might skip ahead here a little bit. You got it, whatever you want. It is interesting as you get that. Go ahead. Yeah, go to chart three real quick. Okay. I was just going to mention that, you know, even before you came on the air, I was saying, maybe we're going to consolidation, I'm sure you heard me, because boy, it's just been quite a run, man, from 4100 up to 5100 over the span of three months. But go ahead, we got chart three up here, we're looking at it for the SPY. Right. One thing here is probably three drives to the top pattern, and actually when I made this chart, the market's actually higher now, you don't have a, you can't really see it, but we're, even on the daily, we're 5% above the upper Bollinger band, which kind of leaves a little bit, kind of a, you know, the week, I didn't see that. The weekly is okay, but the monthly and daily are both above the upper Bollinger band. And also if you go down, second window up from the bottom, you get the SPY's hitting higher or high, and you get the VIX making a higher low, and that's usually not a good sign either, so this rally is not perfect. Normally you get disbelief when the rally starts occurring, and you got a lot of believers in this market right now. I still think at some point we're going to pull back down to the selling climax on this chart, which is January, or no, February 13th, which was last Tuesday, and I think we're going to still pull back down there one more time, then get the rally, the real rally going from there. So, you know, either way, we're going to go up. What I'm saying is we may see a short term acceleration pull back possibly we're all the way back to 490 on the SPY's, probably find support there, then start the next leg up. So it's pretty remarkable. And I agree, and I love what you're saying. It's pretty remarkable in terms of that we just trade up from 4100 to 5100, and that might not even be the real rally, right? But I love it. Hang with us. OK, Tim, we'll be right back. All right, stay tuned, folks. We're coming back with our man, Tim, or don't go away. Welcome back, folks. We got the S&P's up 103 points right now. That's the rise of about 2 percent. Nasdaq 100 up about 3 percent. The Dow up an even 1.1 percent. We're talking to our man, Tim, or we're talking markets. And let's continue that conversation. Tim, where are we going to? Well, I was thinking this pattern since on a monthly time frame, you're above the mid-bowling rebound by 50 percent. The daily, you're above the upper-bowling rebound, rather, by 50 percent. I think the pattern that's forming here is a little bit hard to see, but I'm thinking it's three drives to a top. We're in the third top right now. Three drives to a top pattern have a downside target where the pattern began. Well, the pattern began on January 30th, January 13th, I think it was, which is the selling climax day, and that's back down to 490. So I'm thinking it's just kind of a shakeout, especially with the market touching new highs. The VIX is not even below the previous high. If you look at the, you know, so the VIX should actually really be plummeting here. And actually when both markets gapped up, the VIX actually moved higher or the S&P's gapped up and the VIX gapped down. But the S&P's moved higher, and actually the VIX also moved higher from its open. So it's kind of an unusual situation. So I'm not, you know, I could be wrong, but I'm not really trusting this rally. Let's flip to chart two real quick. It's a great point, just as I had the VIX up, and I was noticing that myself, not often do you see, I mean, just even you just look at that chart, man, 1450 right now, that is above many days on that S&P in terms of where we are. Meanwhile, we got the S&P's at 5100, so worth noting for sure. I'm sorry. So it's nothing real, real bearish. I mean, not all key indicators work all the time, but if you get enough of them, saying that, you know, maybe that, you know, not chase this rally, then you could be wrong, you know, if that turns out to be the case, I'll have to get in later. But here's another chart that kind of warns me. Which chart is that number two? I got it up. Go for it. All right. It's the SPX tilt ratio, which is the second window down from the top. When the RSI 10 of this ratio gets above 75 when I sent you this chart with 74.27, normally you can get a short-term consolidation. That's where those blue lines are. When the RSI gets down below 30, you're at a low. So you got two things here, two methods unrelated to each other. I kind of say the market is extended. You know, can these indicator fail? Yeah, possibly. But I'm going to kind of wait and see what it brings here. If we're still holding these highs, you know, the next couple of days, I'd be saying, well, maybe I'm wrong. But I'm thinking we're going to get pulled back here, especially on the monthly chart. If you flip back to chart number one, you know, if you can pull that chart up real quick. It's pretty rare. You know, this chart goes back to 2015, so it doesn't get there very often when the S&Ps are above 50% above the upper Bollinger band, but when it does, it's usually an accurate signal. So the most bullish thing it can do is actually back off here over the next, well, until next Thursday. And that would actually open the door for this rally to continue. So right now, because of you running into the upper Bollinger band, you're 50% above, the market's kind of up too quick, too fast. So it's kind of like a stretched rubber band. So I'm thinking, minor pullback, nothing real significant. You get kind of a sideways move, go back to 490. I think that's where it sets up the next rally. So we'll be talking next Tuesday again to see if I'm right or wrong. Who knows where we'll be by then. That's right. On a short term for the S&Ps. Nice. We can flip to the, if you have questions, or we can go on to the market. No, this is great, man. Let's just keep rocking for sure. You want me to go to chart five? Chart four? Chart four, excuse me. Okay, we got four up there. Right. Here's, you have something good. This is, I always kind of look at the bigger time frames first, then go down from there. And this is the inflation deflation ratio. And the top window is the RSI for this ratio. When the RSI gets down around 30 on this ratio, it kind of means that Josh moved to his downside. And this chart goes back quite a ways, about mid 2014. And it shows all the times, the blue line show all the times, when this ratio RSI got below 30. And they all pretty much marked, you know, significant lows. And we're actually, we're going to go back and forth between chart four, chart five. The reason why I do that. We got them both up. Go for it. Easy enough for sure. Yeah. So chart five is a different method. And the reason why I'm kind of going back and forth, it kind of tells the story here. Chart five, the bottom window is the 50-day average of the up-down blowing percent for GDX. And when it gets below minus 20, which is all the circles at the bottom indicator, the bottom window, and all the red circles are times when that indicator got below minus 20, the big bold circles are times, when the, go back to chart four, are times when the inflation deflation ratio RSI also got below 30. So I matched those times up, two different methods. And so both of them say you're at a low here. But what it does suggest that this low is probably to hear me at term low, but it's probably going to go sideways for several months. So that's the bad news. But it's the good news, you're at a low. The bad news, you're not going to rally here right away. It may take, you know, maybe, you know, April, May, June, July, I don't know. But you're at a low, it's probably just going to mill around, really go nowhere. But once the rally does start, if you look on, on chapter page five again, those are multi-month rallies. You know, sometimes they can last even longer than that. So a big rally is coming, but you're going to go sideways over here for probably the next several months. And that's the bad news. So the previous rallies, you know, can last a couple of months. So the next rally is probably going to be at least six months. But it may not start until July or, I don't know, maybe May, I'm not sure. Seasonally wise, gold is a lot of times make highs and lows in July. So I'm thinking, my point of view, it could be July before this rally gets going. So we're at a low, but it's not going to go anywhere. So, you know, it would make sense. What I'm telling my customers. It's a pretty reasonable position, you know, back to the market and with gold as well.  And, you know, you cap it off with quite an exclamation point today right now. You know, we got, I'm sure your S&P's 1%, Nasdaq 100, 3%, Dow, excuse me, S&P's are 2%. Dow's up 1%, Nasdaq 100 up 3%.  And if it's only two days and I'm listening to you on Tuesday and that's the pause, then watch out for this market, man. It's pretty remarkable. But I was enjoying what you were talking about on Tuesday of this week, man. And here we are, dramatically higher yet again as we push higher. That's pretty remarkable. Tim, I appreciate the time as always, man. Always a pleasure talking to you folks. Remember, you can check out Tim's work at orid-oracle.com. We talk to Tim every Tuesday and Thursday right here on the program. And we look forward to talking to you on Tuesday, Tim. Have a great one, man. All right, thank you. Thanks for having me on. Thank you.


How can new users access my Moodle site? There are two steps to adding users to your Moodle site, so they can teach or learn in your courses. To have access to the site, they must first have accounts. Moodle calls this authentication. And they must then have access to the appropriate courses. Moodle calls this enrolment. It's important to know the difference and to understand that you need both of these for users to gain access to your site and courses. There are several types of authentication and several types of enrolments. As an administrator, you can click Site Administration and see a number of tabs. From the Plugins tab, you'll see Authentication and Enrolment. Click Manage Authentication. Here is a list of the authentication plugins, that is different methods, to allow users to access your site. The ones grayed out are not active or enabled. Click the I to enable the ones you need. From Enrolment, click Manage Enroll Plugins. Here is a list of course enrolment plugins, that is different methods to allow users into your courses. Enabling any plugins here will mean they'll be available to use in courses in your site. To summarise, there are two steps to adding users to your Moodle site, so they can teach and learn.
