City Council Committee referrals, reports and new business item 22 healthy start funding request. The Honorable Daniel J. Recommend, Mayor. Yeah, if you recalled healthy starts had reached out to us early on and since then they have have raised some of the money. Their project was about $194,000 over due to costs of construction, COVID, etc. They had had raised all the money previously. They're located right outside the city, but their clientele is the majority of our most challenged areas to provide healthy food at a discounted price through a trust fund for some of the offtake on the SNAP program that was brought forth by Senator Pinkney before he passed away. And so they've been able to do this. This project started off as a project here and in Columbia and has grown to multiple counties throughout the state. It was hatched through the University of South Carolina's health. I shouldn't say it's not the public health school, but the medical school here in Columbia. And I would recommend that we help them finish this project. Their request is it has been in your packet. We have some resilience funds that we appropriated for this type of group and request from last year that's left over. And I would suggest that we move forward on their request. I make the motion. I'm gonna have a second. This discussion was this information sent out? Yeah. In our packet. How much is the request for? For $80,000 original request for was for the whole 94. This would cover the HVAC to finish up the project off two nights road. How much do the county put it? Yeah, this is in the county. To be honest, I don't know how much out of the eight or 900 the county put in. I don't have that exact dollar. I do believe they put money. I can't tell you the amount I would be lying if I tried to make up a number. And where are you suggesting the funding source be the left over money from the resilience fund that was adopted during the pandemic that was set up for for this type of operations? What are those resilience funds eligible? What was the eligibility for that? Is it for basic services? I mean, I talk about it. Yes, ma'am. I'm just gonna read because I figured you had asked the question as the council formerly seated council established the funding mechanism in March of 2020. Columbia City Council established the resilient Columbia nonprofit stabilization grant program. The purpose was to provide operational support for nonprofits providing direct community services in response to COVID-19 through the action of Columbia City Council total funding of 450,000 was allocated for the program. As of today, 300,000 is remaining for allocation. Eligible programs and services provided by applicable nonprofit organizations include food, shelter, rent assistance and utility assistance. So I'm sorry, Mr. So initially the funds were set up for COVID was it was a COVID relief funds or what? Did we make it COVID relief with many branches? Well, during that timeframe, if you recall, Reverend McDowell, the council established funding grants for small businesses and that type of thing. In addition, the council allocated 450,000 towards nonprofit stabilization grants. And it was for those reasons I outlined the eligible activities or for programs that impacted services regarding food, shelter, rent assistance and utility assistance through the nonprofit entity. And I do have to apologize, Mayor, because I thought in the email exchanges that councilman devolved, I'm sorry, I can't hear you, Mr. Herbert. Sorry. I didn't read this particular project because I thought in the email exchanges from Mr. Devall, he said he wanted to hear more. And I thought the response was it would be brought up in future setting of future. This isn't the same thing that Mr. Devall asked me about. Mr. Devall asked me about gun violence and the slow 20 is plenty. Mr. Mayor, I just want to make sure, I mean, I'm old for that. I just want to make sure that the fund, the fund balance will support the $80,000. Yes, sir. Leaving us with a balance of how much? We have 300,000 now. So we would take the 80 from that. Okay. I just want to make sure we don't mingle COVID monies because of the rise of the beast and we not have funds if of course, this continues to rise and we get into another quote unquote pandemic. Having funds available for that would certainly be, would certainly be good to have. So if we're doing $80,000 and we've got a we've got a balance of still about $300,000. An example that you funded previously was food share from these funds. The food share program was an example. I'd have to get the staff to pull some other examples of what you utilize the funds for when there was a, you know, a process of people applying at the time. But evidently, there was only a very limited amount, I guess 150,000 maybe that we allocated previously. Mr. Taylor, could you we can't hear you? I'm a fairly significant fan of this group. And I do have some concern for us going outside the city with it. What the county county is doing. Yeah, they're on two knots right on the other side of the line. 62% of close to that maybe somewhere between 57 and 62% of it. They serve our community. So I think it's a well worth investment for us. And along those same lines, I'm assuming there was no usually some of our funds required that you be located in this city. That was not a requirement of this funding. I don't recall the council at the time specifying due to the nature of what was going on at the height of when this was allocated. But the staff and I can research and see if we have no problem moving this to the next agenda. If we can answer any questions from any council members. I truly believe it's a well worthy. That's why then this request has come up previously and they've done some work in between. But I have no problem if there's still questions that that need to be answered some clarifications for folks. I'm glad to do that. I just I hope it's things come up on our agenda and people have questions in the future that you know, let me know as well. Because I'd like to get them answered before so but the will of council is to hold it and get some questions answered. I have I have no qualms about it. I still stand behind the support for this agency. Yeah, I think I was I think I was next. Okay, go ahead. So I the question that I have is based on how city manager Wilson read the resilience fund kind of criteria feels like those funds are supposed to be used for direct services that impact our community and it and from what I understand this is going to cover the HVAC. And so I would just like to learn more information as to what the intent was of those funds was it to help you know, help with the building costs. That's what's giving me pause. I have no problem giving money towards direct services that provide food insecure communities with the resources that they need but to pay for someone's HVACs but then not another nonprofits. I just I'm I'm I would like to know a little bit more. Mr. Mayor, if I remember correctly, when this resilient fund was set up, it was set up primarily for COVID relief. Well, it's not for it's for for nonprofits affected by COVID which yeah, which was one of the reasons here but I want to make sure that everybody has their questions answered because it's a worthwhile project that really does affect the most vulnerable in our community. It provides a service that's invaluable. So I'm going to withdraw my motion asked for it to be put on August 16th. Anybody has any questions or clarifications? If I don't hear from you, then I'm assuming that you you are supportive and we'll just move forward from there. Thank you. We're at new business or referrals and reports. We have referrals. Yes. Mr. Taylor, Dr. Bussles, Mr. Brennan, 2221 real estate, Divine Street to the ED committee. I have two more to go ahead one time or do you want to do them? If you'll do them all collectively, that would be beneficial. 21 Divine Street to the Economic Development Committee. Yes. And then refer certain ED projects and our incentive policy or SSRC policies to the Economic Development Committee for the public record. Mr. Taylor, would you mind just explaining SSRC? Not everybody knows what that is. Just said the public knows what we're doing. On some major projects, there have been histories of the county in the city working together to do some property tax reductions. And it's what our policy is and congenit discussions with the county, kind of going forward on those type projects may be, there may be two or three out there right now that that we probably should take a look at and make sure we're in agreement with what the county wants to do, and that it enhances the city's position. And that we have a kind of a firm policy going forward and never be discussed at the committee and brought back to the county. I mean, excuse me, brought back to the city council. These are for the credits you may receive if you if you're able to negotiate such a deal. I just want to make sure people knew what that was. And then you had a third one. Yes, I would like to refer the grease trap re big proposal that we've talked to back to the Economic Development Committee. Right. For discussion. So we'll take those three. That's 2221 Divine Street SSR credits SRC credit, excuse me, and the grease trap. We call that we don't call it rebate program. Is that our term we use rebate program? So that's in the form of motion. Is there a second? So we have first and second madam clerk. Did you read the role? Mr. Taylor, Ms. Herbert, Dr. Bussells, Mr. Brennan, Mr. McDowell, Mr. Duvall. I may recommend. Hi, Dr. Bussells, may recommend if I might. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. Yes, sir. For the sake of clarity and everybody's understanding going forward with the incentives and any E.D. projects that may have to be discussed in executive session is the consensus of the council that the committee will go into executive session to discuss those items. Thank y'all Patty. Okay, ma'am. We had to put that on the record. I know you've been tied up, but I did send out a memo making sure that that was all in that. So I saw the memo. I wanted to make sure everyone on the council understood what that meant. Yes, ma'am. Thank you for the clarity. Dr. Bussells. Thank you. I'd like to refer exploring some of the ordinance ideas that have come out of the task force to prevent and homelessness to the public safety committee. And we'll point to the memo for more information as well as working with staff who may have some historical context on those ordinances. Do you have any specifics that you want to share? So one one ordinance that was suggested by the task force was to require the reporting of feeding in the city at least 24 hours prior. And then there are some updates that have been suggested in the past to our panhandling ordinance that our legal department is currently reviewing to ensure that we are in line with some of the cases that have been decided in other states. But I'd like to continue this discussion in committee to understand what our options are. Great. Thank you, Dr. Bussells. Is the motion and is that your motion? Yeah, motion to refer to second. Second. We have a motion in second. Madam Clark, could you read the roll? Just for clarification, would that be the administrative policy committee? No, that goes to public safety. Yes, ma'am. For the clarification. Mr. Taylor. Ms. Herbert. Dr. Bussells. Aye. Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Mr. Duvall. Miracle man. Thank you. Councilman Brennan. Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to send to the administrative committee, the Richland County as a fireworks ordinance, some changes to their noise ordinance that are working its way through a first reading, maybe a second by now. I just wanted to send it to administrative committee to take a look at it to see if there's any desire by the committee to take a look at possibly changing our noise ordinance. You know, we have a lot of donut holes that are here in the city that are county. So just would like them to take a look at it. Can I get a motion? It's your motion and a second then discussion. Second. All right. Yes, Mr. Mayor. I think that would me be more properly referred to the public safety committee instead of the administrative committee. And I think it's already been referred. I didn't do it last week. Either way, it what's included is looking at other municipalities in the state. Yeah. And checking the state but again, enforcement is going to be you know, if there are changes enforcement is the important part. I would say that this is a public safety ordinance instead of an administrative Mr. Brennan worked that out and y'all figure out. Well, I did work it out. But now he wants to go to public safety. So you can add that to your list for the next public safety. So that would be going to the public safety to clarify that. And so while we're on publics, go ahead because we're gonna refer another one. So we've got a motion. We got a second. Madam clerk. Could you read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Mr. Brennan. Mr. McDowell. Mr. DeVall. Mayor Rickman. I as we continue to do referrals. You got one. You got one more.  To the Economic Development Committee. I'd like to make a motion to send project and construction outfit progress summaries to 1401 Main Street, the Columbia Municipality Building to Economic Development for review as we move forward. We have a second with that. Madam clerk. Could we read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Mr. DeVall. Mayor Rickman. I lastly, I would like to refer to the Public Safety Commission Committee to look at our nuisance ordinance and look at if it's time for us to look at how we may beef those up to handle some of the nuisance problems throughout the city and support our staff, both in law enforcement and other so that we can make our community safer. So I'd ask for a review of the the nuisance ordinance and also an opportunity for us to take a look at what some of the other communities are doing to address nuisance cases. You want us to put Ghost Guns in there while we're at it? What committee? I thought there was already. Mr. Mr. DeVall has found his funny one today. That's my motion. Is there a second? I'm sorry. I miss what committee? Public Safety. Is there a second? Second. Madam clerk, could you read the roll discussion? Yeah, sure. I just want to make that that will include like stores that tend to sell things that prey on homeless and things like that are in some of the downtown neighborhoods. I think a prime example would be not only nuisance ordinance, the overall nuisance ordinance to make sure but also as we looked at what the county had done with some nuisance properties, convenience store to be quite frank, that was a big problem in the neighborhood, how they addressed using nuisance ordinance to revoke its liquor license. This primarily is a discussion how we strengthen them. Yeah, absolutely. I think we want to look at it, make sure we're updating and strengthening. I thought maybe I didn't make that clear. But thank you, Mr. Well, if we voted on that, no, we're about to vote right now as the clerk gets ready to call the roll. Mr. Taylor. Hi, Ms. Herbert. Hi, Dr. Bussells. I Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Yes, Mr. DeVall. I may recommend. I Mr. DeVall. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to refer to the Public Safety Committee or a quest I've had from the Five Points Association to look into the regulation of the distance between smoke jobs and and other businesses like the CDCBDD or see CBD, CBD smoking and there was some of us the attorney to look at it. Could I make an amendment to your motion? Your friendly amendment? Why you do that? I think it would be very important for us to discuss what requirements could be to have signage that shares with people the effects of products like Delta eight and nine that tend to show possibly up on drug tests and other things and making sure that that as we look at ordinances and rulings, how that can require for display that customers know the effects of these products. Mr. Mayor, yes, of course, just a clarifying question. How is this in a different than what we talked about? Microphone. Is this in a different than what we talked about? You can't talk to Howard. You think that your ordinance is about notification? No, no, no, no, no. Something totally different. What I'm asking is that several years ago, you introduced something similar to this. A few years back. Is that the same thing? Or is this it? Well, we asked a smoking ordinance a few years back that that set distances from the front door of a smoking establishment about smoking and vaping. We added vaping to the existing smoking ordinance. Yeah. This, this may be an amendment to that. But it might be a separate thing. We'll study it and come back. But I think that we've got a proliferation of those type businesses talking about the saturation of Dave shops in certain areas. Well, it would certainly be good. We've already got something on the book. We've got something on the books, but we could amend whatever what it is now that you're having to go into public safety as a part of that total that free view of things. It'll regulate the same industry. Yes. So we have a friendly amendment motion. We have a second. And we have the roll call please discussion, sir. Yes, sir. I just want to clarify in the motion, you amended the motion to include a study of warning signage that we might can require consumers of products sold in these stores that would possibly or likely fail a drug test if that is correct. Thank you, sir. And if and if pass that this be a part of an ordinance that is already on our books, if we could make that real clear. So any other discussion? We good. We clear. Madam clerk, could you read the roll? Sir, Mr. Taylor. Hi, Ms. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Hi, Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Yes, Mr. Duvall. Mayor Rickamitt. Hi, thank you. Last but not least, I'd like to move forward ordinance number 2019 dash 10, which is our ordinance that was amended for the purchase and sale of real property. We have some language worked along with staff that the property shall be deemed surplus by the city manager, which who has the discretion to determine the method of disposal be used by may not be included or limited to seal bid process listing of property listing of property for auction with a private auctioneer. Any method determined by the city manager or commercially reasonably considered the type and location of probably property involved. I'd like to get this add out and added to the agenda on August 16. And between then we have a work session next week. We can put it on there if there are any questions. But I think the with us going through the process of looking at disposing of excess surplus property but making it so that we get the most value of that property and having the flexibility and giving them city manager, the authorization along with her staff to get that reasonably out. That would be my motion. Is there a second? Second. All right. Any questions? Concerns? And I'm hoping that the work session will discuss pros and cons of the suggested changes. Yeah, I don't know what the cons are, but we're sure we'll talk about the pros. I just want to make sure we have a discussion of the pros and cons. So you want it, you do want it on the August night work session is what I'm here. We need to brief question period. I think it's it's going to be very small for anybody on council just to clear but like to make sure it's on the agenda for the 16th. The night and the 16th. Yes ma'am. Any more discussion questions? Madam clerk, could you read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bustles. Aye. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mayor Rickerman. Aye. Any other new business? Yes, I'd like to add to news business at a future meeting a presentation from staff or the appropriate entity to give us an update on the comic bus stations and where they're moving with with some of the recent news about Sumter becoming kind of a one of the stopping points, but maybe not the the hub with some of the changes being made towards Lucius Road and where the comic headquarters is. And so it doesn't have to be the next meeting, but in the next couple of meetings, if we can get that on the agenda and get an update, that'd be great. Do you need to you need us to vote on that or is that any any other new business? Yes ma'am. You I was wanting to make sure you all got everything out that you needed to refer. And as I see the additional items, I was going to talk with Chairman Taylor about the Economic Community Development Committee action plan for economic development. But so that all of Council is aware, I would suggest I think the Council directed me to move forward with the overall action plan and restructure and I think we have put that together. So as we're taking up now several items and committee if the Mr. Chair is willing, we could bring that action plan to your next committee as well and go over it with you ahead of time if you like sir. I just want to make sure that would be okay. You need a council. I don't think so. I think that was something that you all had asked us to do. Okay, just want to make sure. Yeah, thank you, sir. Is there any other business? We got we're working I love this. We got committees working things are moving. This is beautiful. Thank you all for all your hard work. Is there anyone here who would like to speak? I know that Miss Wiley I told you earlier. No, ma'am. Good to see you. My name is Diane Wiley 40 36 web court. I'm not gonna argue I'm calm. But my issue is I don't mind the kids in our neighborhood where the old Burton pack 36 01 through Thurmond Street come out and play. But we have been having trouble ever since four for July. I done passed in the papers in the pictures. I got more. They won't clean up. We have persons that pick up paper every day. They won't clean up. Do we have receptables there? Do we have trash bins and so forth there? And no need to do that because they put it all on the side. I don't send the pictures to but if we put some out there will they put it in it is my question. No, they won't. Have we tried? We have. They had two out there. And the parting, they had a back to school. We didn't have a back to school because it was so hot. And whatnot, but they went in there and have back to school. They're not coming in our neighborhood. These are people don't live in our neighborhood.  The bullets, you know, that's got to stop. Come in. Do what you got to do. But I'm for the kids.  All out there strung out. I don't send the letters to I mean, the pictures to Mr. McDowell and the bullets. I gave it to chief. I've been getting calls ever since four for July. They take a look. Miss with Molly will make sure we we do it little extra sweet. Yeah, I'm gonna email the school board. Yes, ma'am, too.  That's all you know, they got to do better.  I agree with you. You know, acceptable. I want to address that. Mr. McDowell, you got something to say to me? Have anything to say to me? I thought you said it all. Yeah, because you know, like I say, you're not taking a wild neighborhood. That's it. When I when I get aggravated, I'm a call. I called the police all this weekend from four for July all the way up to Miss Wally.  We know that. No, no. But please, we're here to help you. Yes, ma'am. And what he said about the fireworks all night long, it shouldn't be happening. Then one of y'all city workers call our neighborhood old. I'm not old. I'm just better. That slide. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Wally. Is there anyone else that would like to speak at this time? I have one caller and public input, Mayor. Yes, please. Probably have been added to the meeting now. My name is Tiffany Ruiz and I'm a resident of Liberty Ridge subdivision. I wanted to call and comment on items proposed by Wood Creek Development LLC. So the applicant continues to develop this area, which includes townhomes, Taco Bell and a quick trip at the exit of this subdivision. And there's also now the Starbucks and Bojangles across the street. And this is the only exit next to Jacob Mill Pond Road to exit the subdivision. And there's an increase in concern for safety of residents at this community because there's accidents weekly. And I know that they're trying to expand Spears Creek Church Road, but residents have reached out. And it appears that there's a miscommunication or lack of communication by the developer, which is Wood Creek Development LLC. So I wanted to take this opportunity to make the council aware that residents are just, they're concerned for their safety because we don't want to wait until the expansion of Spears Creek Church Road for that lake to be turned on. Thank you for calling in. We will connect you with our planning department to make sure that that we get all the the the items that you mentioned clearly on record and see if we can respond to any any any other questions you have. But thank you for calling in. That is it, Mayor. To our neighborhoods and enjoy National Night Out, which is tonight. We look forward to seeing everyone out. If you don't have plans tonight, we've got a nice list here of neighborhoods that are having events. They'd love to see you in their neighborhood. You don't have to live there to go by and enjoy your neighbor. With that, I'll take a motion to adjourn. Do I have a second? Second. There'll be no discussion. So, Madam Clerk, could you read the roll? Mr. Taylor. Hi. Ms. Herbert. Hi. Dr. Bussell. Hi. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. McNally. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Hi. Mayor Rickerman. Hi. Have a good night. Thank you.


A round-dodge city and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved west with young America, the story of a man who moved with it, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. I didn't see it. You'll get shot someday, walking around in days like that. You'll get sunstrokes sitting out here in the heat and the dust. I don't see people in the daylight very often. Wanted to find out if they're any different. Sit down. Are they? Any different? Yeah. I don't know. But I've spotted a few I think might be sober. That's different. Yeah, for you maybe. And I was just thinking, Kitty, there's hardly a man comes to dodge that isn't looking for trouble of some kind. They call it fun. Yeah, sure. But part of their fun is beating somebody up or shooting them. I've heard of places where the men have to check their guns when they come to town. That never works. They can always hide a gun or a knife. You ought to go fishing, Matt. What? Have some fun yourself. Quit worrying for a while. I'm not worried, Kitty. You know, if it wasn't for all these men stalking each other, I'd be out of a job. There are other jobs besides keeping the peace, Matt. Yeah, I've tried most of them in my time. Hey, Mr. Dillon. Hello, Miss Kitty. Hello, Chester. Doc sent me to find you. There's an old man up in his office. Oh, what does he want me for? The old man's been shot. Shot? Yes, sir. Claimed somebody tried to kill him. You mean he was ambushed? I guess he was. Anyway, it hit him in the neck. All right, Chester, I'll go back with you. He's got a friend with him, but there are both strangers around here. Now, you see what I mean, Kitty, young or old, they're all looking for trouble. I'll sit and help if we burn this place down. I'll sit here and think. See you about it later, Matt. Where's the doc? Somebody come for him. Oh, what do you mean? Somebody come for him. That's what? Said somebody else we stick.  We don't need you, Marshall. We'll handle this. What's your name, Mr. Peavey. John Peavey. John Peavey. My partner's name is Rives. Milligan Rives, Marshall. You ain't never here to boss. Where are you from? Hap North. Well, sodbusters don't usually wear six guns. What are you doing in Dodge? We quit the land, Marshall. We're going to enjoy ourselves with change. We ain't never going back.  I ain't hardly 60 meters, Rives. Well, I didn't take you long to get into trouble, did it? We ain't in trouble. Maybe you're not Rives, but Peavey here's just been shot. I told you we'd handle this, Marshall. Ain't nobody going to sneak up on John Peavey and shoot him.  A woman? What woman? Oh, you always did talk too much, Peavey. You might as well tell him now. I ain't going to tell him. I'll fix her myself.  I'm not going to have any women killed around here. Now, do you understand that? Hey, go on, tell him. You already started. Well, all right. She, she come up the alley, Marshall, next to our sleeping room. And she shot right through the window. Rives seen her, running around the corner after. I'm going to fix her good. She's been fixed, and you, Marshall, are here to do it. Who is this woman? What's her name? Hey, she's one of them girls. She works at the Texas Trail, Marshall. Name a kitty. What are you doing here? I'm sorry to bother you, kitty. Come in. Come in. My room's a mess. I wasn't expecting any college. Well, it's important, kitty. Of course. What's the trouble, man? You know a man called John Peavey? Peavey?  But did you threaten to shoot him? Don't tell me he's come and complained to you about that. No, not exactly. Well, I told him I'd shoot him, and I will, too, if he doesn't leave me alone, the old goat. He's been shot, kitty. What? He wasn't hurt very bad, but he and his partner claim a woman did it, and they said it was you. Do you think I did it, Matt?  No, you didn't do it. When did it happen? No, an hour or two ago. I've been right here alone. I guess I couldn't prove it. Well, you don't have to, kitty. Thanks, Matt. Well, the reason I came was to tell you about it and see if you had any ideas. Well, I know about P.V. and his friend Rive's is that a couple of old men have been acting like schoolboys, like they've run away and are having her last fling. And I don't want anything to do with either one of them. Well, I don't blame you. But Rive's claims he saw a woman down the alley after the shooting. You, uh, any idea who it might have been? No, it's probably Lyon, dreaming. Yeah, maybe. Well, if you hear anything, let me know, kitty. And if P.V. gives you any more trouble, send for me. I sure will. I ain't been up this early in the morning since I can remember, Mr. Dillon. Oh, how about last Sunday, Chester? Last Sunday? Yeah. Oh, well, last different. That was still Saturday night, sort of. Hey, look, there comes Miss Kitty. What in the world is she doing up at this hour? She's in a hurry, whatever she's doing. Matt? Hello, Chester. Morning, Miss Kitty. What's the trouble, Kitty? Matt, somebody tried to shoot me. What? In my room just a while ago. I had a pillow down by my feet. Guess they thought my head was there. They put a bullet right through it. What, did you see anybody? No, it came from outside. I didn't dare look out right away. It kind of the same as happened to P.V., Mr. Dillon. Yeah, maybe it was P.V.. He threatened something like this. I'm scared, Matt.  Chester, you stay with Kitty. Don't let her out of your sight. I'm going after P.V. and Rives. We will return for the second act of gun smoke in just a moment. But first, every Tuesday, Pam and Jerry North prove that solving a murder is a family affair. And on the same evening, John Lund, as yours truly, Johnny Dollar, brings us the thrilling details of his latest insurance fraud investigation. Now the second act of gun smoke. By noon, I'd searched the whole town, and there was no sign of P.V. or his friend Rives. They disappeared. And until I found them, I didn't dare leave Kitty where they could get at her. So I had Chester drive her out to a friend's place a few miles from Dodge, and she was happy to go. Now, we didn't have any luck until the next afternoon. Cowboy happened to mention to Chester that he'd come across a couple of drunks camped about a mile up the Arkansins. I decided that it was worth riding out and taking a look. And it was. It's him, all right. Yeah, and they've seen us. Keep your head up now. Do you think they'll fight us? No, you never know. What are you doing out here, Marshall? Looking for you. Well, you found it. You don't have a drink. What you got there? Car and liquor. Only about half a jug left, though. What that other jug killed that yesterday? Here. Have a swallow. We'll say now that's right kind of chester, but of course I don't drink before sundown, at least not very often. Why'd you come out here if you don't want to drink? How long have you been here? Today is for yesterday. He's neck is bothering him, and I figured a couple of days in camp like this might ease it off some. I get the feeling better. I'm going back and teach that gal to the lesson, though. I swear I am. Somebody tried that this morning. What do you mean? She got shot at. He'd be the same way you did. That don't make no sense. While he's just thinking, you done it, Peevee. How could I do it? I've been laying here drunk for two days. Anyway, I wouldn't shoot no woman, Marshal. I'd beat him up a little, that's all.  What kind of men you think we are? I don't know. Why did you leave home in the first place? Home. Men don't live forever, Marshal. You've got to enjoy yourself all you can. It rives. Rives. You tell him what you told me about them graves. Well, I was in the graveyard once, a long time ago. And I noticed something I never forgot. No sir, never. Yeah, tell him where I was. You know, Marshal, I looked around and I seen that there were there's many graves, shorter than me, as there was graves longer. And that got him to thinking about dying, Marshal. So one day we decided to enjoy ourselves and quit working so hard. Hey, hey, hand me that jug, Rives. Yeah, help yourself. Hold it a minute, P.V. I want to tell you something. What? I'm going to leave you here. But if I see you around Dodge, either one of you, I'll throw you in jail. What for? We ain't done nothing. You have it in mind to beat up Kitty.  So stay out of town. Come on, Chester. We left them there, passing the jug back and forth across their fire on the riverbank, talking of death, probably, and of the hard, empty lives that they'd had. The prairie often left men a little too hungry and a little too dry. Chester and I were talking about it when we spotted a woman up ahead. She was walking after a saddle horse which we figured must have thrown her and got loose.  I sent Chester to catch the horse while I rode up tour and dismounted. My friend will bring your horse back, ma'am. Are you all right? I'm all right. Well, how'd he get loose? Main critter, he ran off. Oh, I see. You live around here? No. You've been down by the river, ain't you? I just came from there. Why? See anybody? A couple of men lying around a fire, that's all. Drinking? Yeah. Yeah, they were drinking. You know them? I might. Are you looking for somebody? I might be. Well, maybe you'd like us to ride back there with you. I don't need nobody to ride nowhere with me, Mr. Oh, what's your name, ma'am? What's my name? I don't take the scallywag cowboys asking me my name. Well, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. You didn't? No, ma'am, of course I didn't. What's yours? Matt Dillon, ma'am. Dillon, I heard that name somewhere. We won't be introduced proper unless you tell me yours. My name's Sabina Peavey. Ms. Peavey? I've been married 35 years, Dillon. Here he is, Mr. Dillon. Seems gentle enough. I'll hold him while you get back on, ma'am. I can manage. Hey, look what you've got tied to her saddle, Mr. Dillon. On them old calvary pistols. Yeah, grab it and put it in your belt, Chester. What? You heard me. Yes, sir. Can you put that back, you thief? What are you anyways? Suppose you'll steal my horse next time. I'm a US Marshal, Ms. Peavey. Everything's going to be all right. A Marshal, eh? I want you to come back to Dutch with me. Chester will bring your husband in. Is she Peavey's wife? You can't stop me, Marshal.  Yes, sir, I'll do it. You're going to be all right with me, ma'am.  I guess I'll have to go. Well, shall I make another cup of coffee for us, ma'am? No. No thanks, Dillon. They ought to be here pretty soon. It's nearly evening. You'll tell that girl Kitty how sorry I am. I tried to shoot her, won't you? I'm sure Kitty will understand. Imagine me being blind jealous after 35 years.  If that's true, why would you be jealous? You can be jealous even if you hate a man, Dillon.  I didn't know how much I hated him until a day that old fool arrived, come by, and the two of them rode off together. He'd come into the house and took the money and left just like that after 35 years. How, uh, how'd you know they'd come here? They was always talking about dodge. They was always talking about laying on the bank of the Ark Kansas and drinking corn liquor too. I knowed where they was.  Well, it seemed fitting somehow. Only good clothes I ever owned, Dillon. Warm when I left home, St. Louis. Well, I'm glad I ran into you, Miss Peavey, before it was too late. I'll talk to him. I told you I would. But I ain't never going back to him. He's had his fun. Maybe he'll settle down now. Not with me, he won't. Dillon, I bore that man 13 children. 13? 11 of them died, and he beat me. Every time we lost one. Every time, Dillon. I see. Well, uh, where are the other two? He ran them off. Don't know where they are. Oh, here comes your husband. Looks like Chester's got him pretty sober.  Well, you could go out back there and one of their cells, if you don't mind. What difference it make? My hat on straight, Dillon? Yeah. Yes, ma'am, you look fine, ma'am. I'll wait out back. Here they are, Mr. Dillon. Sober is leaking. What's this all about, Marshall? Where do you want his proof? We ain't bothered nobody.  There's somebody who wants to see you. Who? Get moving. No, you stay here, Rives. Go on, Peevie. Well, all right. Who's out there, Marshall? His wife. You, what will it do with their guns, Mr. Dillon? I'll throw him in a drawer, Chester. OK, sure. Hey, what's that? He's beaten her. Come on. I'll tell you what to do. Look at Peevie. She knocked him out. I think I killed him, Dillon. Killed him? He sure looks dead. He has stabbed him. I had been. He beat me for the last time. Said he was going to kill me. I put it right in his heart.  No, you won't, Rives. Miss Peevie, you come with me. Chester, lock up Rives and another cell. Work for her.   Get moving. Come on, get your arms in, some man. All right. Come into the office, man. He was going to kill me, Dillon. I know he was. Well, I shouldn't have let him be alone with you. You didn't know. What are you going to do with me now? You mentioned St. Louis, Miss Peevie. Yeah, you have any people there? My sister. She's all that's left. Well, how'd you like to see her? You ain't holding me? I was self-defense. Then I can go. I'll hold Rives here till you're out of town. Oh, but I can't get to St. Louis.  It's all spent, I know it. Miss Peevie, would you think I'm a scallywag cowboy if I offered to stake you to St. Louis? Thanks, Dillon. Where did I tell my sister about you?

Welcome to intro to Java with a focus on AP computer science a with Tokyo EdTech. That is me today's topic array lists So here's what we're gonna take a look at Well, what is an array list? We're looking at how to create them how to access the elements in an array list how to modify the elements in an array list How to traverse array lists using for a while and enhanced for loops and we'll look at developing algorithms again So if you saw the arrays units Hopefully you have this. This is the next next unit It's very very similar But the big difference is that Array lists when you create them they are empty and then you can add elements and you can actually remove elements Which is pretty cool. So they are not fixed in size. You can add stuff delete wherever you want So let's go ahead and take a look at the code So the first thing that you know about array lists is that they actually need to be imported So they are not part I guess guess you say of the actual core core Java language So we need to import and notice this import is going before the class name So just like we did the Java util scanner, we're gonna be importing Java dot util dot array List and it's singular not plural So now that we've imported that we can use that so what we're gonna do is we're gonna create and array of Computer languages, so watch this weird syntax. So array list less than string Languages again notice I always keep it plural and something's wrong with the spelling there languages equals new not you new array list string and parentheses Isn't that weird? I think it's weird. So I'm gonna compile that and it compiles successfully so What we want to do here, I wish you could go after I guess I have to modify first Let's go ahead and just put this in here then so now I have an empty array list Let me go ahead and add values to the List so I want to say languages dot add Go with Java Our main language here Go ahead and add a few of these so Java we've got Python We've got uh jump script Well, let's go keep we'll keep with our old school languages and we've got c plus plus So if again, I'm gonna compile this Now if I you know run it nothing's gonna be happy because we didn't print anything. So let's go ahead and Uh put some stuff So if you think about this, this is just like an array So we're going to be using indices So this would be index zero. This would be index one. This would be index two This would be index three because of the order that we added them because we're adding them at the end So if I do system dot System dot out dot print l n and it's gonna be languages Now if it's an array we would use square brackets But we don't So we're gonna use methods public methods. That should be familiar to you now. We're gonna use get so get zero For example, I'm gonna go ahead and two three Hey So zero One two and three, let's go ahead and compile that And you can see we got java zero python one javascript two and c plus plus three We can also modify those just like we did with arrays. So let's say Yeah, we don't like c plus plus. So we'll go to we'll say languages So again instead of square brackets, we're going to use dot set We need the index in this case three And we're going to change c plus plus to C sharp which is a bit more Uh, more java friendly and then we'll go ahead and print that and see if we actually were successful in doing so So let's go ahead and compile it Okay, so we went ahead and we changed c sharp or c plus plus to c sharp Pretty cool. Okay. So notice We've created An array list. Okay. So we have string here and string here now There are some cases in the ap where you'll see those not matching You know Pay attention to the ap materials for that And then we had to add items to the list to the array list We accessed using get And we changed it Using set It's about that it's pretty straightforward. So traversing an array list is very similar to traversing a regular array So for example We would just do four int i equals zero i is less than now watch this one languages dot size And then i plus plus Okay, so with strings it's Dot length with parentheses with arrays. It's dot length and with array list it is Dot size parentheses. So yeah, lovely, right So then what I would do here is I would say string language equals languages dot get i then you know system Dot out print l and print l and language So again, I'm hoping you see is this pattern. It doesn't you know From this part here in this part here nothing really changes just the way that we access it You know between an array and an array list or a string whatever that that collection is And then the way we get the Size or the length the number of elements differs depending on the structure that we're using So if I compile that and run it we should see Java Python JavaScript C sharp. I can do the same thing with a while loop int i zero While i is less than languages dot size So I pull in there you'll get a weird result. And then at this point I could just copy and if we run that Compile and run it oops. Oh, what did I forget do? We'll see my bad I plus plus I forgot to do that so compile and run And you can see we've got Python JavaScript printed out again. And then finally we can do the same thing with enhanced for loop. So for a string language in languages and system Out print l in language So a lot of it's very similar There are a few different Changes there and we see we got the same thing three times in a row. All right So uh developing algorithms, so let's go ahead and Basically kind of redo the maximum value one that we did in the last one So there should be some similarities or should be some differences. So to make it an array list And in this case, we're going to use integer and we're going to do scores equals new array list Integer or the weird syntax Note here I Use the integer what's called the integer wrapper class What this is this is an object that stores an integer So for a rayless we need to use You know objects the other thing you need to think about or you need to be aware of is that Even though it's an integer. There is like a get value method. There's there's a couple different methods that go with it Java will automatically convert it for you. You don't really have to think about it But in this case, we want to use the integer wrapper class And that's w r a p p e r not wrapper r a p p e r Let's go ahead and add some values. So scores dot add And this is I think basically the same thing that we did in the last video Arrays two three four five six. Yes, it is So I think the values were 45 So they should look familiar if you saw the last video recently 75 97 23 and 76 so Just like we did before we're going to assume the max value Is scores dot get zero So this could be the Excellent value. We don't know We do because we've seen all the scores, but we can it's possible And then we do our for loop now. I'm going to go ahead and Comment this out. So I don't have to deal with that little weird problem again You don't want me to do this We've got somewhere I forgot about and yeah, that's good. So for int i equals One because you know, we don't need to check this. We know We're going to start with one. We talked about that in the last video as well Uh, I is less than scores dot size I plus plus And then again, we're going to do int score equals scores dot get I And then from here on it's the same thing as we did before. So if max Value is greater than this or sorry the score Is greater than max value Then we set the max value to the score because that's the new maximum and we do system out print ln max value plus max value I could have called a max score and that probably would be a little more sense. That's okay And we can see the max value again is 97 So the the basic algorithm the basic steps do not change The way that we you know create the structure create the collection The way that we add values the way that we get values is a little different But the actual algorithm itself doesn't change. There's there. This is how you do this Because we have to traverse and go through all of the values in that That's you know in that structure in that collection Okay, I think that's enough for this video that that should get you started Again, there's some more information about developing algorithms in the ebook And there's a few things the the ap you know talks about beyond this So be sure to pay close attention to your ap materials Yeah Test is coming. So again, we talked about what an array list is how to create it Don't forget to import java util array list. That's very important We use we talked about how to access using set or sorry using get how to modify using set and there's a few other You know array list methods that you can use We learned size for example Check out the ebook for a few more details And then we used for a while and enhanced for loops to iterate through and develop a little bit of an algorithm to find a maximum value So hopefully that'll get you started. Thanks for watching


That is definitely not what you want to say when you get into your PA school interview. What's up, you guys? It's Donna. I am back with another video for you guys. So I wanted to talk to you guys about the PA school interview. I got my interview. I was really, really excited. I did a lot of research. I looked up, you know, PA school interviews. I looked up different forums of PA school interview forums in a sense, like just trying to get a taste or an idea of what to expect in the PA school interview. And I got a lot of good information.  But it was like outdated. That is definitely not what you want to say when you get into your PA school interview. Do not talk about being a dependent practitioner. That is not what you are. We are so much more than that. And PA's are moving far away from that terminology. So that is something that you definitely do not, if you look up those forums, don't use that terminology. But I did my research. I tried a lot of different things. I looked at little PA school questions. It was, it was a lot, but none of that information came up in my PA school interview, you guys. It was actually pretty nerve wracking trying to prepare for it. I, one thing I highly suggest you guys doing is going to a PA's website and looking up the PA history. If you don't know much about PA history, like I had not known once I went to my interview, like don't be like me, you guys. Do your research on the profession that you're trying to get into. I remember I was in my interview, like we were in like the group, just like everybody's in this big room together. We're getting the welcome and they're like, the director of the program is talking about. He's like, who is the founder, the creator of the PA profession? And everybody's like Eugene Stan.  And that's literally what I did, because I did not know who the founder of the profession was.  The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots. The roots, man. So definitely, you guys, go ahead and do your research.  They will have information on the history of the PA profession, the founders, the first military guys that went into the PA program, and just get all that information and run with that. Knowing about OTP, definitely, definitely know about that. That is something that PA's are super, super, super, very proud of. Well, a majority of them, some of them are still on the fence, but knowing what that means, you know, optimal team practice and what that means for the PA profession as it goes forward. He can't go wrong with that. In my interview, we came in, it was all of us in one room. Then we had a tour of the program and the facility. We had kind of like a welcoming statement about the program and what they do in that particular program. We had our single personal one-on-one interviews, and they kind of did like a round robin where you went to three different rooms with different professors in each room that asked different questions and, you know, you answer them to the best of your ability. Don't be afraid. Just take a moment, think about the question, and then answer it, and you will do fine. I know one of my questions was like, oh, so, you know, PA school is hard. What would you do if you got a C? Or if you got an F on a project? And you had to think about that because you're used to getting really good grades, so they want to know how are you going to operate when something doesn't go your way or you're dealing with stress? So think about those questions and answer them truthfully and you will do great. And then we had the group interview session at the end of my PA school day, and that was great. I love that. I think I thrive in those sessions, but that was just a great opportunity for me to, you know, glean from other people, understand how they're thinking. They want to see you in a team setting, but also be able to say my own points and I loved it. So that's kind of how I ended the day group session. We came back, they said everything, and I like, guys, make sure you do this. So before I even got into the program or got in got to the school for the interview, I already had thank you cards. And what I did was every instructor person that I met that was in the program, I wrote their names on a thank you card, and I wrote thank you to them for allowing me the opportunity to interview with them at this program. And before I left, I dropped it off at the front desk and I gave it to them. I highly suggest you guys do that. Give, have your thank you cards ready for everyone that you interview with or anyone that's in the program that you interacted with, because it's only going to make you that much more memorable in their minds because they're going to be like, Oh, who is this? Oh, that's who it was because they have a picture of you. So I'm like, Oh, it's her. She's the one who did this. And that's just that next step that people are going to remember. And you want to be memorable because trust me, they see hundreds of candidates. So you definitely want to be memorable. So that was my interview session. I am going to do a video about the actual group interview because I know a lot of people have anxiety about just being in a group setting in a group interview, nothing to worry about you guys. You guys are going to do great. But I'm just going to give you a couple tips that I held on to or that I used while in my group interview session. So stay tuned for that video. I will leave a link for it somewhere in the description box so that you guys can get to it once it's completed. All right. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you haven't already done so go ahead and subscribe. Join me on this journey and we will have a blast. I will see you guys next week. Later.


Plants use light energy from the sun to form glucose from carbon dioxide and water according to the equation below. This process is photosynthesis. When we eat plant matter, we break down glucose in a reverse process called respiration. So what is so special about glucose? In this lesson, we will learn a bit more about glucose and a class of molecules that can be respired to release energy called carbohydrates. These carbohydrates, as suggested by its name, contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. It was previously thought that all carbohydrates have this generic formula, whereby there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom for every carbon atom. But we know now that some larger carbohydrates do not follow this generic formula, so it is no longer used. Glucose is a monosaccharide, or a simple sugar made of one subunit, as the prefix mono suggests. Disaccharides are made of two monosaccharides joined together by a glycosidic linkage. The two monosaccharides will undergo a condensation reaction to form the disaccharide. A condensation reaction is one where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule via the loss of a smaller molecule, in this case water. Table sugar is actually sucrose, which is a disaccharide formed from fructose and glucose. Lactose, a sugar found in milk, is also a disaccharide formed from galactose and glucose. Have you noticed that all the simple sugar that we've discussed contain the suffix os? The enzymes responsible for breaking down the glycosidic linkage in the disaccharides have the same prefix as the disaccharide and with the suffix as. People who are lactose intolerant do not have sufficient lactase in their gut. Lactase is the enzyme that digests lactose. What is the enzyme that digests sucrose? Pause, think, and resume when ready. The answer is sucrose. When you eat starchy foods such as rice, bread, potatoes, and pasta, you are actually consuming glucose. You may, however, wonder why they don't taste sweet. This is because the glucose monomers are joined together to form a polymer chain. This is like beads on a necklace. The individual beads are the glucose subunits and the entire necklace is the polysaccharide molecule. Starch is actually a combination of two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin. The amylose is just like the necklace. It is a long chain of glucose monomers coiled into a helical structure. The amylopectin is like amylose, but with branches of glucose chains.  You will find that it actually starts to taste sweet. There is an enzyme in your saliva called amylase. Here is a challenge. What do you think its function is? Pause, think, and resume when ready. The answer is amylase breaks down amylose into simple sugars. Now we don't actually store glucose as amylose or amylopectin. This is how plants store glucose. The starchy foods that we consume are broken down into individual glucose subunits. Think of it as removing beads from the necklace. The glucose is used to build a polymer called glycogen, which is our main long-term energy storage molecule. It resembles amylopectin, but it is more highly branched. When we need energy, glucose subunits are broken off from glycogen and subjected to respiration, thereby releasing energy. People who have diabetes either have an insufficient amount of the hormone insulin, which signals the liver and muscle to link glucose into glycogen, or those liver and muscle cells do not respond to the presence of insulin. Cellulose is another polysaccharide made of glucose monomers. It has a more rigid structure and is the main component of plant cell walls. Your paper is actually made of cellulose. If you tear off the corner of your paper, you will see that there are fine hairs on the edge. These are cellulose fibers. In summary, these carbohydrates are polymers of simple sugars made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, which provide fuel for living organisms. The energy is transferred when the sugars react with oxygen during respiration. They can exist as monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides. Humans store fuel in the long term in the form of glycogen, which is a polysaccharide made of glucose subunits. This can be broken back into simple sugars, which can be respired when required to give us energy.


YouTube team keep it clean man What a busy evening has been it has literally been all over the place Cuz well just really a busy day first we had to heard about Drew Brees He's gonna be missing maybe up to six weeks with his thumb and been Rothesburger out for the season and then The the Jaguars Jalen Ramsey he once out Then the main offensive Patrick who won it out. He's gone now to the Steelers and Lot of stuff was happening either right before even doing the game tonight There was still a game that had to be played with all this going on and that game was a To me it started off a really good It started off really good when I was really enjoying the defensive battle Um The Jets they were they were making some plays on defense They were really holding Baker Mayfield in that that offense because they were giving up a little They were giving up some short passes here and there but they were holding for the most part They were forcing field goals and whatnot and then they even got a field goal of their own and that was it and With but with the defense that I think the biggest problem with the Jets tonight besides when Travis Simeon They just going through it man They going through it at the quarterback position first Sam Donald. He not team keep it clean So he's out with the mono and then then Travis Simeon He went down to when he first it went down. I thought I said, oh man. That's that look like a Seattle me man Or Achilles or whatever that that look like one of those two hopefully it's not but I was like yikes Um Cuz I mean like most people figured like CJ Mosey out too, but most people figured that the Jets didn't really have a chance but Of course us Ravens fans. We were hoping for the upset But we're hoping for the upset. We didn't expect the upset but we're hoping for it But so that the end result wasn't a surprise anything But yeah, the game was a nice little defensive game in the beginning But the biggest thing with the Jets tonight where they struggled the most to me. It wasn't even on offense Well, maybe it was on offense, but And a problem that was just as big as their offense Was the penalties? My goodness, man Like when you talk about penalties killing a team like this this was it This was the definition like and one of the penalties that really killed them It was on I think it was on the fourth down where the Browns went for it on fourth down and Who was the receiver I forgot which receiver that uh Baker was initially looking at OBJ Because they put they put Odell Beckham in motion But the Jets were all over that if he would have caught the ball unless he got some amazing strength out of nowhere And broke through like two Jets defenders or something that he might have got the first down But other than that now he wouldn't have got the first down on that fourth down So they could make sure looked at him He said no, I ain't on OBJ then he looked downfield and and threw the ball and then they called Um, they called defensive holding on the Jets on the corner and it was a very very bad call It was a very very bad one, but that call ended up sparking The first touchdown of the game, which was the Nick Chubb run. It's really nice run too But you could tell like calls like that they will defeat a team And momentum is a real thing man Momentum is a real thing and if momentum shifts if momentum changes like that, especially on something like that Boy, it just makes the world of a difference man Makes the world of a difference and you could just tell these dudes after that penalty And when when you watch the Nick Chubb run, you could just tell they were just drained not even physically momentum they were just drained Because and they boy they were they were hitting man Jamal Adams. I was like, okay I know he was hitting like that man. He was hitting the night man and again back to the penalties the penalties The the the late hit the rough and the passer on Baker Mayfield from Jamal Adams. It was a nice little blitz and it Sad to say man, it wasn't even a questionable call man Wasn't even a questionable that one was clear his day He didn't need to do that and I think maybe there might have been a little frustration there and then there might have been a little wanting to Intimidate him a little bit too Like oh, yeah, we're gonna show Baker Mayfield that we're gonna be hitting them tonight Because they were they were hitting they were hitting the night man but the penalties man That that just that that kept this team from doing anything that that kept this team from any possibilities of even competing in this game the penalties killed them um To yell they were just ugly ugly um Levy on bail He had some little spurts here and there. Um Because he yeah, he he got over 100 tonight He had like 110 um But oh man, it's like the ball literally was not bouncing the Jets way tonight, man It really was like whenever you thought they might have had some life quick Because with the Levy on like it was toward the end of the game and it was Unlikely they would have came back, but you never know But just to to have some life Levy on bail running the ball He's running running running getting closer to the end zone and then And the ball goes flying up And the Browns defender was a carry. I forgot who it was, but it landed right in his arms It landed directly in his arms. It was like it was like a gift It was like a gift. It's like Right to him So And it was it was a perfect hit though, by the way because levy on bail is not a fumbler He is not a fumbler. It was a perfect hit and then I don't know if y'all noticed the uh the graphic they showed um, well not the graphic they showed the uh The I guess the uh the quick little video The camera angle whatever they showed levy on bail and he was on the side He had his head went off It was toward the end of the game when they showed it, but I don't know if he was crying or what but His eyes were a little red man Maybe maybe he wasn't team keep it clean. Maybe trying to get kicked off the team or something I don't know but his eyes were red and uh, he just he just looked hurt man. He looked hurt Um jets defense They were definitely missing cj mosey They were definitely missing him Shout out to cj mosey by the way He was on the sideline having a good time. Of course, you know, he wanted to be out the but they boy, they missed him bad They missed him bad Nice jerseys though.  They still nice though They're still real nice jerseys. Um Baker mayfield And the offense they they just they couldn't get it going at first. They couldn't get it going at first um They were trying and jet jets just kept stopping them stopping them stopping them Then they got that pop from odell beckham where he uh, he caught that nice little one-handed on the sideline That's okay over there. All right And then right after that the NFL say hey get off the field We ain't worried about your watch, but now it's your visor because this is too tinted It's too tinted So just like a car if you leasing the car you put tents on there Hey, when that leases up you got to take them back and what do you how do you get them tents off? Hey, you got to peel them off and that's what they did with his visor They peeled that off Because you can still see something like the shine from it Uh on it on you can still see something to shine from the tent on his visor But they they took off took it off for the most part But that sure helped him see clearly on that 89 yard slant Talking to the house talk about the ultimate yards after the catch That was Odella all day on that one man Odella all day Baker mayfield overall just It was an okay game Definitely wasn't the best he went 19 for 35 and 19 times two is 38. So that's a little more than 50% um But he made some nice plays and then he had some throws over Um, but again the the thing about him. He ain't afraid You're not afraid to make any pass. You're not afraid to try any pass um One of I think one of the best passes from him tonight Wasn't even the Odell Beckham slam. Yeah, I don't even think that was one of the best passes I think the best pass from him tonight. I believe it was in the first quarter where He he faced pressure I forgot exactly how it went down, but he escaped the pressure And he looked his initial read wasn't open and then he found Who did he find along like the left side? I think it was was it Jarvis Landry? It might have been Jarvis Landry, man. I forgot who it was But hey this game this game tonight was all right. It definitely could have been better But hey, they got the win.  Obviously Miles Garrett was drafted But um, Olivier right? Odell Beckham Jr. Obviously Morgan Burnett. He had a sack um So yeah, man they They did that thing man. They did that thing. Uh nick chubb, of course You already know about him He's a regular for doing this thing And they close it out They close it out. They never gave the the Jets a shot, but I mean the Jets never gave the Jets a shot Uh again penalties Drop passes Um, it was just it was ugly to watch man It was it was it got kind of sad too Well at one point it it really got kind of sad because you just you felt like wow this team is like They're really bad they're really bad like and Though the guys that they're missing they're obviously key guys that change the entire dynamic of this entire team And it's only been well, it had only been one game But the guys that they were missing was so they they're such a major factor to the way that this team goes Whether this team progresses or regresses And that's both of their quarterbacks Their quarterback on offense and their quarterback on defense Sam Donald and cj moseley This team goes how they go And they went out there tonight, and it didn't seem like this team was out there tonight either So hopefully more so cj moseley because sam donald's gonna be a little minute Um, but hopefully cj moseley can be back by that next game, man Because I believe that that by week is week four. So yeah, hopefully cj moseley can come back for the next game To the board it board. They need him bad That defense that defense can be nice, man They just got to be healthy I'm like, man cj moseley with jamal adam's on the same field And then what's up with uh, who's it? Tremaine? Tremaine Is it tremaine broxie or tremaine johnson? I think it's tremaine, bro Whatever the the free agent acquisition that big money corner benched Bench now Um while I know that could be frustrating for some fans.   We gotta have them out there But what the crazy thing about this is that he um, this is only the second game This was only the second game like usually you would think that teams would they would have to put a uh Put on put on display a few games or where they playing really bad or players would Individual players would have to put on display that they playing really bad for a few games at least Like to have that consistency that bad consistency, but consistency But no they they said one game. Oh, you played bagged last week. I think they said he gave up He was targeted eight times and gave up six catches So they were completing stuff on him, but Jets said no, we ain't with it. You ain't playing I was like, oh, okay now all right um But yeah, so jets they It's a mess right now. Um over there in new york or new jersey or whatever But again, it's still super early. So they got time as far as the browns um, I believe they said they got the rams next week, so That that the the slapping is from this game.


Recently, a study was published of 50,000 African American women a sadly neglected demographic when it comes to nutritional science and medical research in general, actually, fruit and vegetable intake in relation to risk of breast cancer in the black women's health study. Those who listened to mom and ate their veggies had significantly lower risk of the nastiest type of breast cancer, estrogen receptor negative, because it's so hard to treat. Any plants particularly protective? Out of all the fruits and vegetables they looked at, two stood out above the rest. Which two do you think those were? They specifically looked at apples, bananas, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe carrots, collard greens, grapefruit, oranges, spinach, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes. And for those of you thinking, wait a second, you can't compare apples to oranges? Well, they just did. What do you think they found? Although broccoli consumption appeared especially protective in pre-menopausal women, for women of all ages. Winner number one was collards. No surprise, it's cruciferous, it's a dark green leafy, it's like kale. What's not to like? So, but winner number two was a shocker, carrots, which Tracy featured on the cover of her gray book along with collards. As one researcher suggested, a whole food vegan diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially if coupled with regular excise and smoking avoidance, could be expected to have a remarkably positive effect on African-American cancer risk reversing the increases in cancer risk incurred during the 20th century.

50-50 is good in the beginning for like the first month or two until you get that first lump of training past you, and then kind of go to more of a 70-30, you know, 70% building your business, which means making calls, following up, you know, showing property, listing appointments, writing offers, negotiating, right? It's the media, it's yourself, it's everybody else that kind of scares you into thinking that, you know, business is dead kind of thing where it's not, it's not dead. And so this is one thing I really want you to get today, and I want you to have confidence in your business, in your market, in you, yourself, moving forward, that you don't care if the market does do this, do that, up, down, interest rates, supply to man, the amount of houses on the market, it doesn't matter, none of that matters.  You need to do today, right, are you going to work as hard as you can, are you going to be the best you can be, and are you going to create five new relationships with property owners every single day and add those people to your database? It's really that simple, it's really that simple, and then take that data and build your personal brand through a weekly email as your foundation and sprinkle social media on top of that. Are you going to do that? Because it's really that simple, and all that costs basically nothing. You don't have to buy leads for thousands of dollars, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on real estate coaching that's going to teach you stuff you already know.  There's nothing, people are trying to put systems in place to create automatic business before they create the brand, before they put the work in to actually build the relationships to create the brand. They're trying to put those systems in place like they already put the brand together. It doesn't work like that. You got to build, you have to put the sweat equity in to build the brand first, and then you can build automated systems on the back end of that brand to create automatic business moving forward. I told you, closings happen every day, right? Just because the market crashes doesn't mean that our business crashes, it just means we have to make some adjustments, right? We have to just kind of flow with it. You know, whenever that scary moment happens in the market, you know, like 911.com crash 2008, the pandemic, the pandemic is a great example, guys. 80% of the same amount of closings, not only closings, but there were still 80% of the same amount of pending deals happening, people negotiating and ratifying contracts to close during the complete shutdown, no human to human contact, title companies were still figuring out how to close deals, mortgage companies were figuring out how to get people pre-approved and close these deals. That tells you right there how resilient the industry is and how much job security you guys have and all of your agents, right? The teams that you guys are building, how much job security that we have and the confidence that we can have in this business moving forward. Some people are worried about different things like the Zillow thing and the Showing Time thing and the, I don't know what, but somebody's going to have to sit down unless I'm just completely oblivious, somebody's going to have to sit down and really show me because I really want to know to show me what, from point A to point B, them completely taking over the industry and doing away with agents because the way I see it, that's not even on the horizon. I don't even see anything that could even potentially even threaten our positions as real estate agents. Now, might there be some supply and demand and might the market dictate our commission a little bit? Might we get squeezed a little there? Yeah, sure, sure, absolutely, but it's not going to go to zero and it's always going to be super lucrative, right? It's always going to, it's incredibly lucrative, right? If we go to a four and four, two and two to each agent, which is already happening in a lot of markets, that could become a norm. I'm not about it. I take five and six for every listing, but if we did go to that, 2% still incredibly lucrative and new agents coming in never knew what 3% felt like, right? So we just have to go with the flow. We can't complain and we can't worry about these outside factors of what, you know, Zillow's doing and what the market's doing and what supply and demand's doing and what the commissions are doing and this, that and the other. We have to do what we have to do to take care of people who want to buy and sell properties. That's our job. That's what we need to be worried about. See, I built the brand first with sweat equity through calling people individually for years and years and years before trying to automate anything. Too many of us are trying to automate first before putting the sweat equity in and actually talking to people, you know what I mean? So that's what you have to watch out for, you know, with social media, you know, people are like putting that, like it's the very top. And really it can be the top as long as it's filtering to a position to put you on the phone with people or in person with people on a very high frequency and a very high, it needs to be doing it at a very high frequency for it to really make sense. You know, the digital marketers that are running ads against real estate agents to tell them, Hey, this is the new way and, you know, this is the way you got to do it. I mean, there's a couple of things to look at. Okay, how many properties of that guy sell this year? Right. Also, how much is this thing he's trying to sell me?  So how much are you trying to charge me for this? It's just marketing, man. It's just marketing, right? It's just marketing to try to manipulate people and to believe in a certain thing, to turn right around and get you to pay them some money. That's all it is. Don't be manipulated, man. Don't be manipulated, right? Just understand that I don't care if you use social. I don't care if you use Zillow, open houses, door knocking. I don't care what you do. As long as whatever you do is producing enough phone numbers of people in your market to call from nine to 12 every day. That's all I want. And if not, then just get Red X Geo leads and get property owners in any subdivision and then call them all day from nine to 12. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't care if you use Facebook. As long as it keeps you on the phone every morning. I guess you're Facebook. You don't know everybody anyway. You don't know the people you're calling when you're cold calling.  I mean, that's, you're not going to grow unless you're reaching out beyond your sphere, right? Your sphere is only going to maintain your business. It's only going to, if you're just messing with sphere and past clients and referrals, you're not growing, you're just going to maintain.  You need a larger sphere if you want a larger income with everybody's situation is different. I like to look at everybody's situation specifically and try to carve out a good game plan for them. But 50 50 is good in the beginning for like the first month or two to get that first lump of training past you and then kind of go to more of a 70 30, you know, 70% building your business, which means making calls, following up, you know, showing property, listing appointments, writing offers, negotiating, working on, you know, your marketing, whatever the marketing is, whether it be your weekly email, whether you are posting on social media, you know, daily, creating content, making videos, whatever that whatever it may be. But when you go to that 70 30, you're going to split that up. Okay. That 70% almost needs to be 50 50 with phone calls. You've got to have calls in there somewhere no matter where you get your leads from. And the more you lean into that, the bigger your business is going to be the quicker you're going to get to your first deal. And the more momentum you're going to have on the back of that first deal, moving into, you know, your second deal, third deal, fourth deal, and you just kind of get on a roll. I don't know, new agents, it's tough because expectations are really high.   And the next thing you know, you become disappointed because you haven't made your first sale in the first three or four months, and you just kind of feel down. Some people quit right there, but I'm here to tell you that that whole cycle right there, every single agent goes through that same exact cycle. The winners that end up coming out of this thing, they at that low point, they look around and they say, you know what, this is harder than I thought, but I can do this, other people around me are doing this, they're no better than me, I can do this, then you have this sense of excitement again, and you get back at it, you're happy, you're excited, you're motivated, and you kind of go through the same thing again, you know, you get a little frustrated and disappointed. So we go through these little cycles of emotions. So people can run from calls all you want, but all you're doing is running away from closings. If you're scared to get on the phone, you're scared to make money. Well, it's a warm call, Ricky, I'm okay with warm calls, or I'm good face to face, just can't do that cold call thing. Number one, that's a cop out, that's the most classic, I'm just scared to make calls, and I don't care if I'm gonna go into foreclosure, I'm gonna just not make calls. People call me sometimes, like I'm fixing to go into foreclosure next week, what can I do to get a deal really quickly? I'm like, how many calls you're making, and they say none, and I'm like, so what you're telling me is that you would rather lose your house, possibly your family, because you lost your house, before you'd make a phone call, it makes zero sense. So if we want to have as many closings as we can have, we're gonna have as many conversations as we can have. So that's just real, it doesn't matter where you get your, that's what's so interesting about real estate is that it's a sweat equity business, and everyone's trying to get around that part of it, where they put the sweat equity in, of all those one on one conversations. The one on one conversations is the only thing that's going to scale your business, okay? Creating those great first impressions with as many people in the market as possible, right? And then when you make that great first impression, we have to have a machine in place to build our brand on the back of that great first impression, whereas they never forget who we are ever, right? The way that I've done this is through a weekly email, right? Real simple stuff. Talk to as many people as you can in your market, make great first impressions, and then do a weekly email to your entire database on the same day of the week forever. Boom. I just gave you guys the secret formula to the most successful, the most successful, the most efficient, the most simple, the most effective business, right? And you can literally take this and scale it to the moon, right? But you have to understand the sweat equity part. Too many of us are trying to create an automatic business before putting in the sweat equity to build a brand. You can only automate your business once you put the sweat equity in, talk to enough people, build a brand, okay?  The problem is, too many new agents I see are trying to create that automation before they put the sweat equity in to build a brand. Like for example, people who, this is a great example, I brought this up a couple times, I've seen it, they'll do a giveaway, they'll do a giveaway and they'll have a great presentation for the giveaway, a great prize to win for the giveaway and they do just a great job with the giveaway and they get 3,000 people's contact information and then they just plug those 3,000 into the database and start sending the weekly email or whatever, you know whatever they do with that information, but they don't call them. They're trying to create automation before putting the sweat equity in, right? The real estate is so sweat equity. It's not like e-commerce where you just run Facebook ads or buy a Nike shoe and people just click and buy and boom, you got it.  If you can hack the system to extract as much data as you can. Names, phone numbers, emails, even address. I don't know what all data you can actually extract, but if you could somehow figure out a way to extract data because that is the name of the game. If you look at all these larger companies, the Zillows and Googles and Apples and Amazons and Facebooks, they're all, their drug of choice is data. They're all just addicted. They're spending billions of dollars just to get data, right? And so I think that we as agents need to think of ourselves first as a data collector whereas every day when you wake up we're just trying to make five new friends with people in our proper, in our market and collect their data.  That's a whole different scenario. But if you could collect five a day, if you think of yourself every day when you wake up, I'm a data collector, not a real estate agent, I'm a real estate agent. Second, through your journey of trying to make as many friends in the market, collect their data, do a weekly email, through that journey of that being the main focus, you'll close so many deals.  And for what? In 2023, you're not going to care how many deals you closed in 2021. And in 2023, the amount of business you do that year is going to be predicated on how many relationships you created in 2021. So why aren't we focused on the relationship side of this business now? Right? And in 2023 it's the same thing. We're going to close tons of deals from the work we put in now, but we shouldn't even be focused on those deals at that time. We should be focused on 2025, right? It's always this carrot that we're pushing out further and further. I don't like the carrot scenario analogy when I'm talking about goals, because there's a lot of unhappy people in the world who have these huge goals and they keep pushing the goal out every time they get closer to it. They keep pushing it out further and further and further. And I think that's good to a certain extent, but you can't revolve your happiness around hitting these goals that you're never going to hit because you keep pushing the goals out further. There's got to be a happy place where you're satisfied and happy every step of the way, but still motivated to hit these bigger goals. But I do love the carrot analogy when I'm talking about, because it helps me kind of center myself on what I should be focused on, which is database growth. Whatever agent has the largest database and builds their brand with the people within their database wins.


The underlying bigger news of Everton, which since I've been here is more or less negative connotations about everything, so that's a try and change. It's been very difficult, very difficult, but the positive side is we've got the job done. The players have played their part without doubt. I came in here to change a mentality. I think there's been signs of that, still more to go. And overridingly, I said to the players, I said, look, we shouldn't be here. So I said, look, joyous today and enjoy it and you've earned it here, but at the end of the day, it's got to change. There's no point in sitting on it already and going, look how great we are, because it's not like that. There's loads to change and a lot of work to be done, but a big step to make sure we secure it.
