May I come sir? Good afternoon sir, good afternoon sir, good afternoon ma'am. Aayush is Jain. What is Aayush Man Bhava? What is the meaning of that? Sir, it is a blessing that a person should live long. Very long, very long. Now we also have a department called Aayush. What is the full form? Sir, it is a ministry of, the full form of Aayush is Ayurveda, Yoga, Yunani, Siddha and Homeopathy. And recently Sova Rikpa has also been added to this ministry. Very good. After yoga and naturopathy also. Rest all is okay. Yeah, naturopathy. What is Siddha in this? What is Siddha? Sir, it is also a traditional medicine system from Southern India. Sir, I am not much aware about its details, how it works. Okay, you are from Rajasthan. Good. So tell us about yourself, schooling, college and all that. As you know, I am Aayush Jain. I belong to Jhalava district of Rajasthan. I have completed my mechanical engineering from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur. My hobbies and interests include drawing mandala art, cooking and photography. Oh, what art you said? It is a drawing mandala art. What is that? Sir, it is like drawing geometric patterns through like pencil or even through colors and drawing intricate patterns under the designs. What is the geometric pattern you said? What aspect of geometry? Sir, like circular and square pattern. No triangle. No, sir, triangles are also included in it. Yes, sir. No hexagon. No, sir, it can be drawn with all. Anything you want. That is very interesting. On the wall, is it? Sir, on the wall, on the papers, even through the dry colors, through even flowers, etc. But normally, you do not see that in Jaipur and all, you can see this sort of... Pardon, sir? No, this sort of thing, art. Do you see widely, even in Jaipur and such like places? Sir, I can recall it is visible in the Burli art painting of Maharashtra and in the Madhuvani paintings of Bihar, sir. Oh, good, that far. That's very good. And photography, what sort of photography? Sir, I am like still exploring the photography. I have tried with micro photography, street photography and landscape photography, sir. I thought wildlife photography, that you are not... Sir, I have tried it, but not much in its details. Not much scope, I suppose. Sir, can you say that? Sir, I don't think that, sir, because there is also a very diverse scope of wildlife photography, ranging from the Great Indian Bustard in desert to the tigers in Ranthambore and Sariskar is also there. But Ranthambore, twice I went there. You go for hours together with difficulty, you can see one tiger. I don't know. That is all the major national parks, sir. Sir, that is the suspense that people go there to see the tiger, that they might see the tiger. Have you ever seen a tiger in the forest? No, sir, I have never seen. I have seen only leopards. Okay, mechanical engineering, that's very good. What is the level of pollution in Rajasthan? It's much less compared to Delhi and all. Am I right? Yes, compared to Delhi, the average pollution in Rajasthan is below the Delhi's AQI. But the sort of vehicles they use, especially in rural areas, they are highly polluting, the buses and I don't know the other thing. Yes, the Jugaar they call, the Jugaar kind of tractors. Yes, sir. They use the engine of some other vehicle and fix it in some other vehicle and run it for the local transportation, sir. They are highly polluting. Those states have banned those kinds of vehicles, but they are still running into the states. But in Jaipur as such, what is the level of pollution? Sir, I am not aware about the AQI of Jaipur, but it is below Delhi, sir. Of course. That's a good way of saying it. Everything is below Delhi. You take any city. Why in the world, I think? Why in India? It's the most polluted city. Sir, I'll look into the facts of it, sir. Sir, I think it's the most polluted city. Yes, and you see, of course. It's always good to do that. Okay, now, you studied in Kamla or something. Who is this? Sreemati Kamla Saklecha. Sir, she was a local philanthropist in our area and she founded the school and she funded education of some of the backward cities. Her children's education, sir. So that's why school is named after her. Okay, tell me, why do you want to join the civil service with your background? You could have taken up some private job or teaching or something, not interested. What is so special about civil service? Initially, I thought of joining some kind of jobs after the colleges where I got placed. But then this was always in my mind and also in the minds of my parents and my relatives. That since I was the first girl from my town to study in a college of national importance. So like my family and also I wanted that I should be into the service where I can work for the people. And civil services being services where at the entry level, I'll get to work in so much of diverse fields. That's why I thought of opting for civil services first. Okay, good. You said you are more concerned about what your parents and relations think.  Sir, I would say I am concerned about them as well. But they just motivated me to join the services. And I think it was more of my decision to leave the jobs after the college and join this service, sir. Very good. You have been before UPSC for interview earlier? Yes, sir. I have been in the last year also. Oh, last year? Good. How much did you get? Sir, I got very less marks. When interview was good, but the marks were very expensive. How much? Sir, it is around 150, sir. Oh, 150. And you were expecting how much? 170, 180? Yes, sir, 180 because I got it. Who was the chairman of the board? Sir, the chairman was Mr. Nagarjuna. Oh, okay. This time I think I am sure you will make it. This time you should. Thank you very much. Now about Rajasthan, tell me, what is the two big advantage of Rajasthan and two big disadvantage of Rajasthan? What are the biggest advantages? Sir, I think the advantages of Rajasthan can include its potential of tourism industry, tourism sector. And another can be the potential of renewable energy, solar and wind. Renewable energy. Let us talk about solar. Now, what is the potential and what has been done already? So the solar potential of Rajasthan is, I just forgot data, but it is the second largest production potential of solar in India. But you have very huge project there, solar project. Yes, in the Jodhpur district Badla Solar Park, sir. And also some minor solar parks are also emerging in the area of Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaipur etc. What are the two big disadvantages of Rajasthan? Sir, I would say the challenges with Rajasthan faces, one is water scarcity. Since the area and population of Rajasthan are much higher compared to the proportion of water which the state has. Another challenge can be with respect to the literacy rate, especially for the women. What is the literacy rate today? I mean present. So as per 2011 census, it is 66% and for female it is nearly 50%, which is the second lowest in the country after Bihar for female. Sir, how about law and order? What is the position of law and order in Rajasthan? Sir, more or less state has observed a state of peace in terms of law and order, but few instances have been observed. Like recently there was a case at a fort in Jaipur where the conflict has been observed between the Meena community as well as the Hindu community over a temple. So some few instances have been observed. What is the position now that has been shelved? I mean are the problems over or still there? The problem is still there. But like some of the journalists and as well as MLAs have been asked to take a step back and let supreme court or legislature should intervene about the present status. Okay, good. And about your own district, tell me something. Jhalawar, what is there? Is anything to be seen? Any popular thing there? Yes, sir. Jhalawar is located in the south-eastern part of Rajasthan. And it is famous for its Gagurand fort, which is one of the UNESCO site under the six forts of Rajasthan. And also, sir, it is famous for its oranges and Jhalawar is called as Nagpur of Rajasthan. And it is the second largest producing belt of oranges in India. Okay, I will see. What is Santhara? Santhara. Yes, sir. So it is a practice in Jainism where people at some point in their life think that they should stop taking any worldly things like even food or any clothes. And they should go into the kind of Samadhi so that they can get a kind of good birth in their next birth. What is the difference between active euthanasia and passive euthanasia? So the active euthanasia implies that when a person who is suffering or not suffering but asks that he wants to die so that with his consent some kind of medical interventions are taken and which leads him to die. The passive euthanasia implies that when a person is in kind of vegetative state then some non-payable kind of medical interventions are taken to let him die. So that he actually feels more pain when he is in vegetative state. That's why we use passive euthanasia which has been allowed by Supreme Court. Does right to life include right to die? Sir, in India presently the right to life does not include right to die. What was the Supreme Court verdict in this regard? In this regard Supreme Court said that the passive euthanasia can be allowed but not the active euthanasia. So related with geography your optional. What is Alneno? And how does it affect the climate? Does it affect the climate of our country also? Alneno. Sir, Alneno it's an upper tropospheric phenomena where it is a linkage of phenomena of ocean currents and of upper troposphere. Where the currents around the Peru and Humboldt, the Humboldt current around the Southern America gets cooled and it leads to generation of walker cycle which impacts the climate over India as well as like when there is Alneno in the Southern Pacific Ocean the rainfall in India is usually low. But when there is a season of La Nina then rainfall in India is comparatively higher than average periods. So Ozone is both harmful as well as useful? How? When it is harmful, when it is useful? Sir, it is harmful when it is present in troposphere and when it is present in the stratosphere it is very useful to protect us from the UV rays of sun. Ozone whole, it is increasing or it is decreasing. Ozone whole. Sir, in the Antarctica zone as per recent report it is shrinking but in Arctic region now it is increasing sir. Once in a blue moon is a phrase what does it mean and what do you mean by blue moon? So the phrase once in a blue moon implies that phenomena which happens very rarely in the history and What is blue moon? Sir, I am not much aware about it sir. I will look into it. Okay, Ahinsa silk. Have you ever heard about this? Ahinsa silk. Ahinsa means? It is non-violence. Sir, I think Ahinsa silk is compared to the lotus silk which is not derived from the the cocoons or... No, it is derived from that only but Ahinsa we don't kill. So any idea? No sir. No problem. Now my question related with how the president of India is elected? Sir, the president of India is elected through various members of our parliament both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha and also the members of state legislative assemblies are included in it. The vote share of the MPs and MLS vary as per their state and the vote share of all the MPs like each... the vote count of all the MPs is equal but vote count of all the MLS across the state is not equal sir. So you have answered part of the question which I am going to ask. Now you tell me what exactly does it mean proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote system. Part of this you have already answered. Yes sir. Under that particular question how president of India is elected? So my question now is what do you mean by proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote system? The proportional voting system implies that every individual who votes has a preference... list of preferences like he can tick mark that which preference he wants to prefer at first and that's how some calculations are done to get the proportionality answer. Okay, last question. There are various initiatives taken up by the central government as well as state government. Now let's confine to central government only for empowerment of India. So these are in the form of launch of various schemes, projects. These are in the form of legislation. So can you cite the examples related with schemes or project and then related legislation? Women empowerment. Sir, I'll start by age wise that how the schemes have been undertaken. No, just main point sir. These are the projects and schemes launched by central government for women empowerment. These are the legislation made by the central government for women empowerment. Okay, sir. The schemes include Beti Bachao, Beti Padao scheme. Good, good, good. And Udhan scheme. Sukanya Samradhi Yojana. Exact word is Sukanya Samradhi Yojana. Anyway, what else? Good. Sukanya Samradhi Yojana. Udhan scheme for education. Udhan is for both, yeah, next, yeah, good. And Matru Vandana Yojana, sir. Yeah, we are right. What else? I'm not able to think. Okay, now come to legislation. There are so many. One is PCP and DT Act. Pre-Natal Pre-Conception Diagnosis. Very right, good. After that Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act 2013. Very right, yeah, just name others, yeah, good. Dowry Prevention Act 2005. I'm not able to recall the year. And... Chipil Talak Act. What is the full form of Chipil Talak Act? Sir, if I can recall, it is Protection of... The Muslim Women. Start with the Muslim Women. Yes. The Muslim Women Protection of Rights Act. Right on Marriage. Yes, sir. Okay, what else? Could it be Abrogation of Article 35A? Yes, then what is Article 35A, which has been abrogated? Sir, the Article 35A was related to the state of Jammu Kashmir. And because of this, the women of the Jammu Kashmir were not getting their land rights when they were getting married to the person of other state in India. Okay, can you name the women, athletes who have made us proud during past two to three years? Athletics, sir. Women Athletics. Sir, one is our silver medalist in the Olympics, Meera Bai Chanu. And in the Athletics, another is Duthi Chan, Deepa Karmakar. Lovely. No, she is not fine. And... Who else? Himadas, sir. Who is known as Assam Express? Assam Express. Okay, thank you. Rishi, you did your tent from Shreemati, Kamala, Keshav, Yam. That is MP. Yes, ma'am. It is an MP, but very near to my hometown. My hometown is situated at MP and Rajasthan border. Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. And because you did your 12th from this place, which is in Kota. And this place is very... Both are close. Yes, ma'am. Are you wearing a Kota saree or what? Ma'am, it is a Kota saree, but is from Kota, but it has mixed components of silk also. What does a typical Kota saree has otherwise, the content? Ma'am, the usual Kota saree is known as Kota Doria and Kota silk. There are two varieties of saree. In Kota Doria, only the component of cotton threads is used. In Kota silk, both cotton as well as silk are used. The cotton gives strength to the saree and the silk gives the texture to the saree, ma'am. Okay. So, this Kota sarees, how are they being made? Are they being made in big factories or by local reverts and artisans? In both phase, they are made. In the initial times, only hand looms were there, but now power looms have been established there. Which led to the increase in production as well. Is this fabric only being used for making sarees or they are being used for making other products as well? Ma'am, nowadays it is being used in making shirts, kurtas and the salwar suits also, ma'am. And what is the market place for this? Ma'am, not for sarees for this material. So, the market place for this textile, which is being used for making sarees and other products. So, where do they sell it primarily? Ma'am, primarily there are industries around Kota and also in the region of Bilwada, which is the textile town of Rajasthan. And in these two major cities, the major production takes place. So, has there been any impact on the business during Covid time? Ma'am, the Covid impacted since all the major businesses across India. So, the Kota sarees also get impacted since markets were closed, tourists were not coming to visit the place. And the digitalisation was not to so much depth that they can sell their sarees online. So, it was definitely impacted. But in the later on, most of the merchants got adopted to the digital things. And now they are recovering the losses which they have occurred in the previous levels. Has the state government done anything to help these and support these people who have lost their livelihoods because of this? Yes ma'am, the state government has taken various initiatives. Like they are organising some online malas so that people can purchase sarees from them. They are providing a platform to them. And the Kota Merchant Association is like keeping pace with the state government for this. So, what's happening? You said that tourism also you mentioned one of the things in Rajasthan. So, what's the latest in tourism business? What's happening? So, are there any announcements or initiatives which are being taken by any organisations or government entities? So, it has been in news in the last 2-3 days. So, can you share that? Ma'am, as per I can recall, Rajasthan was the first state to give major budget to tourism in the budget this year. 500 crores were allocated to boost the tourism sector after this COVID-19 pandemic. Ma'am, I am not aware about the recent decision. Okay, so there is some separate tourism council will be made. Rajasthan tourism council. So, it was there in the newspaper yesterday. Not day before yesterday. So, apart from this, you also were associated with an initiative for child welfare. Ma'am, it was an initiative by our college students and we used to give guidance to the children residing in the nearby villages of our college. And there were like 50 to 72 students on daily basis. They used to come to our college. We used to provide them some academic guidance, include them into certain extracurricular activities. And recently, ma'am, I got to know that 3 of our students got admission into the Ek Lave school in the Madhya Pradesh. Very good. So, would you like to continue such an initiative even while you are working professionally, most likely to be a civil servant? Would you like to continue with such activities later on? Ma'am, if it is possible for me to manage, then definitely I will work for such initiatives as well. So, what could be the key issues which are very close to your heart? Where would you like to concentrate on if you become a civil servant? Ma'am, first thing, I think that I might prefer is working for the women, especially the girls. And in the sector of their education, their safety and security. Another can be for the child development. Since most, as the recent report of World Health Organization says that due to COVID, lots of children went under malnutrition and undernutrition. Ma'am, I think these 2 sectors will be malnutrition. What is the situation of malnutrition in our country otherwise? And what are some of the government initiatives in this week? Ma'am, the status of malnutrition in our country is such that like one third of our children are under the stunting. Both are facing the issue of wasting and around 50% of women are facing anemic conditions. And the initiatives taken by government are portion abhiyan, midday meal schemes, providing dry rations during COVID times, the integrated child development schemes. How much do you think that it reached to the grassroots level? Ma'am, I think the reach of midday meal and portion abhiyan is very much at the ground level because it involves the local workers like Anganwadi workers, Asha workers. So as far as I can see in my village, most of the children got their dry rations on time during COVID. So I think the ground reach is very good for them. So how is Anganwadi functioning in your area? Is it doing a good job? Yes ma'am. I think it is doing really a great job. Because I knew personally the people who are managing Anganwadi. So they are also telling me that these many children have been enrolled. They are providing rations. The children are getting something to play on daily basis. So I think that is very good. Okay. What is this permafrost? Have you heard of it? Ma'am, the permafrost refers to the permanent frost observed in the areas of higher latitudes polar areas and also at the higher altitude levels like the third pole Himalaya. So what is happening with this? Why is it in use? What is the challenge which we are facing at the moment? Ma'am, due to the global warming and rise of temperature across the world, some of the permanent glaciers are now fragmenting. They are getting melted, which is impacting the climate as well as hydrology of the region and as well as of the whole world. So what is the impact of it? If it gets, you know, it just ice starts to, you know, convert into water, then what is going to happen? Ma'am, in short term the impacts are like the low-lying regions are getting flooded. There is observed shift in the biodiversity at the polar regions. In the long term, it will impact the climate like the monsoon and the intensity of cyclone is getting increased due to the increased global warming. And also this melting is acting as a positive feedback system, which is again resulting into higher increase in temperatures, ma'am. And how can this be addressed? Ma'am, it requires the across-country cooperation, like global cooperation to resolve such measures. Like the overall emissions can be reduced, like GHG emission, nitrogen emission, so that the warming of the world gets reduced to below 1.5 degree centigrade. At grass root level, what can you do at your level for the environment? Ma'am, one thing I think is, we can try is promoting climate smart agriculture, because agriculture is one of the major emitter of greenhouse gases. Another can be decarbonizing our transport and energy sector using like bio gas or hydrogen fuels and lithium ion battery vehicles etc. Thank you. I will see. How do you pronounce the name of your city? Dug. Sir, it is Dug. Not Dug. Are you having any trouble with the name of the city like this? Dug is good. Yes, it is in the advertisement of a detergent powder, sir. Can you tell me about your district? Pardon, sir? Tell me about your district. Yes, sir. Jhalawar is the southeastern most district of Rajasthan. The Jhalawar has highest rainfall across the Rajasthan. It is nearly 75 to 100 centimetre annually. The Jhalawar is famous for its gargown fort, for its oranges. The region is part like lies at the junction of Hadoti Plattu and the Vindian ranges and Malwa Plattu. Rajasthan is known really well for water conservation. Can you tell me some practices involved in water conservation in Rajasthan? So, one of the major practices is like developing Johars, which are being developed by Tarun Bharat Sankh in Rajasthan in the areas of Alwar Bharatpur Karoli where they develop small embankments across the hilly areas so that it stops the flow of water and it helps in recharging the groundwater which is rejuvenated across the streams or rivers also. And some other practices like management of Baudi, Kund is also practiced, sir. What factors influence the location of industries? So, there are various factors which influence the location of industries like the raw material, transport linkages, government support, market etc. So, why is a vaccine manufacturing industry is predominantly in Maharashtra? Is there any reason? I think the major reason is the capital investment which the state of Maharashtra and Gujarat has, the initial facilities for vaccine manufacturing, I think this is the primary reason for it. And also these vaccines require cold storage chains and if the temperatures are at, like below the, say I am not able to recall the proper temperature number. You are familiar with the concept of disinvestment, government is disinvesting in various sectors. Is there any sector that the government should not disinvest now? So, as of now I think the sector of atomic energy as well as the passenger sector of railways and some of the strategic defense. We are already starting private railways or trains in railways? Yes sir, we are starting with it and I think that is a welcome step, but the government should not wholly privatize the segment of passenger railways because it is also a responsibility of the government to promote the cheaper way of transportation, sir. Okay. Now lithium ion batteries, can you tell me about it? Ion batteries are very compact and energy intensive batteries, they are lightweight and their voltage does not get reduced over longer period. Lightweight? Did you say lightweight? Sir, compared to the lead batteries. You have to take that. Yes, I will check. And? And the voltage of the lithium ion batteries does not reduce after some times, which usually happens in the lead batteries, sir. Okay. Do we have manufacturing facilities for lithium ion batteries? Are we self-sufficient or self-reliant on this? Sir, presently we are not self-reliant, we import such batteries from China and other countries. Okay. IC engines we import most of the IC engines, right? Yes, sir. Is that the case with EV engines also? Now, one of your hobbies is photography.  The basic techniques of photography include adjusting shutter speed, ISO and aperture. Like aperture is measured in terms of f-strops, like how much area is needed to be focused. The shutter speed is like for how much time we want to capture the photograph. Like for general photograph, it can be 1 by 4 or 1 by 10 seconds. But for the fast-moving objects, the shutter speeds are like 1 by 125. And the ISO is about the intensity of light of the object, sir. And can you tell me some contemporary Indian photographers? Yes, sir. In the wildlife sector, Rathika Ramaswamy is an emerging photographer and her exhibitions are also being undertaken by the government of India. And another is Raghuraj Brayasar, who is a kind of tragic photographer who has captured even that unknown sun during the Bhopal tragedy. Can he be considered as contemporary? Yes, I think it can be compared to the contemporary instance, sir. It is only 25-year-old. Oh, good. Tell me something about the cryogenic engines. What are cryogenic engines? Cryogenic engines, you say some cryogenic fuels which are at low temperatures, sir. Where is it used? It is being used in the satellites. Space.


I think that you might have learned recently such one of us. Sing a line. Answer those questions. Thank you for this evening. Thank you for those who play over there. Thank you. Any questions, changes, polls, please? Hearing none, so do I. I have a partner to report. This is Brown. This is Herbert. This is Raymond. That's the city council. Thank you Mayor. And now any public input? This is Thomas. The motion is there a second? Second. Moving into a period of presentations. Item number 2. The City of Columbia Toiletry Thrive. Your sister Keira. The Honorable Candy Terry. The Mayor. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And suddenly we have the month of September where the city is home to public relations. We are the various fundraisers. Fundraisers include the sister Keira Toiletry Thrive. To sister Keira. Sorry about that. I do see you going to figure it out. I'll learn again. I was the only one. We had several folks who are other folks who had been in the parties. They're from the county to the county parks. In order to see what the city departments are, in relation to the government, locations throughout the entire month of September, businesses include the city departments, the city department, All the books, the level-hacky shop has general schools, DTs, the crew that have been suffering from the same child's badges, all the portable auctions, and any of those auctions. Juniorly, with a lot of the other stuff, out of the cabinet, I would support any corporate who may have any kind of opinion in the chapter. And then they did a kind of a lot of the chapter, which was, well, from the force of the art of the day, to the very bottom of the audience, to the persisted care. And we're so excited that it's all this play here, that it's actually been a great cause. And really, I just do want to thank you for the hard work that you've done. The art of the shop, the aesthetic of the fortune, and the art of the community, of the person. We saw the church, however, are the message. My thoughts and prayers are for all of us. And I know it's obvious we won't be disdaining, and so excited that we're listening to the testimony and the needs of the pancreas, but also we can kind of hope that all of us are working together, so with that, I want to thank you for all of the work that you did here. Well, thank you so much. We, Sister Care, are so thankful for the partnership we've had with the City of Columbia for years. And I know that I'm very proud to be a resident of the City of Columbia. And so thank you so much for helping to bring awareness to domestic violence in our community. And so many wonderful donors, so many amazing things. I know it looks like so much, but we serve nearly 4,000 domestic violence survivors and children every year. So we go through this stuff very quickly. And it's so empowering to be able to provide these items for the survivors and children that we serve. That's one less thing to worry about when trying to find safety and trying to heal from the process. So we are so grateful. And thank you so much for all that you do to support Sister Care and other nonprofits in our community. It takes a village. Thank you. I think it's Executive Director. Yes, sir. Questions throughout the march can transcend boundaries, build bridges, connect peace, artisans, creators, and cultural institutions play a vital role in our community across the planet. Opportunities for learning, collaboration, cultural exchange, and arts and humanities sectors are a vital source of economic growth, creative jobs, stimulating tourism, and enhancing overall welfare of our local creators. The nation's arts and humanities sector is not a problem. Commercial education is a lack of a billion of industries to build. About $125,000 in South Carolina generates a high set of billion in salaries and wages. And non-profit-educated learning generation generates 27.5 billion government revenue and 166 billion of the electronic activity. And you go to organizations, audiences, who can spend 10 years for arts events, per minute, and this is not a reality, but it's not a reality. So we have to believe that beyond the cost of additional items such as food and arts and humanities, thank you to the arts for that vital income source for local business. So therefore, I'm able to share with you the commitment of mayor of Columbia, South Carolina, along with fellow members of the Columbia City Council to do that. I think of our proclaiming October of 2023 as national arts and humanities on Columbia, South Carolina. We'll present this to you. But also, thank you very much for the community conversations, your support, and some new energy that you're bringing into the arts and the positivity we've got in your business with the backers. We're gonna try some new things for arts in different ways. As we start building up some of these new spaces with some different studios and coming up with tricks that we need to get involved together, it would be really fantastic. I'm really excited to have you here from the branch program. Thank you so much for coming across the country to be a chief here at the office and of course, I'm really, really close to you. To all of that, I'm really looking forward to you. Yeah, I'll just say thank you to mayor and to council for your support and for all the organizations that came to be your part because they don't come, I appreciate it. The arts are a tremendous asset and should be available everywhere to everyone. National Arts and Humanities Months is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate the crucial role of the arts and humanities and promoting individual well-being, addressing trauma, connecting cultures, highlighting inequities and making our communities healthy and stronger. It's just really an honor that you guys are supporting us and like I said, it's been a pleasure to last too much for me being in this position to have your support, so thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. And to ensure that you're here, you're almost living and visiting the fire as a serious public. I'm the legal artist of the Social Protection Association. Turn to the number of un-fired residents that have ended up in the U.S. that reached a 14-year-old, 21-year-old woman. And those fires resorted to 3,000 submitted to us, representing the newly set of states all of the civilian fire deaths. Only a 10-fired apartment was bought into the cloud and the city wanted to push the spotters of death in order to reduce the impacts on fires. Fired interest was mentioned in protection. Education, when we celebrate our fires, we get a weekly hit for a year and lots of families and children are taken to that. Our fire development provincial office was one of those 5,700 fires sessions and I'm covered with 6,400 fire odor violations. Fire Department's Education Office presented 350,000 set of fire education demonstrations in the 2015 United States Survey installed 5,667 large citizens in need over the course of 20,000 education ministers and are able to take personal steps to increase their safety of the fire, especially in the United States.  Effectively so, it's a lot of people about work, it's about remaining in the set of it. I encourage you to think about the ability of the candles out there, briefly, and other fires and fireplaces that should have been painted that were easy to have when necessary to test them. But therefore, I've been with the mayor of the city of Long Beach, government, Long Beach City Council, I do hear about the plan I took in 1 from the first 2020 through the fire prevention market and the break city of Long Beach, South Carolina. And I ask you to take a look at our fire on the page to the fire department to pick up the set of hands. Remind yourself when you're cooking or do the plan to the fire department. We spark today's time to ask for that, Chief. Thank you, Mayor or Council. City manager into all the citizens of this great city and that we live in called Columbia. You took my thunder, Mayor, because you gave all the steps that I was gonna give, but that's okay. I'm glad you, I know. But it does mean good to know that we're educating ourself on fire safety because probably right around 64% of all fires starting in residential. I'd rather be high rise homes or whatever. And probably around 54% of those stars in kitchen. So you see why we put a big emphasis on kitchen fire this year, but it actually does start with you. So we're asking all the citizens to be mindful. And I'm glad you brought up candles and all the other good stuff because we are entering into the winter months where people use space heaters, candles, if the lights go out or whatever, what have you. But also keep in mind because of the preventions that we do in fire prevention, that's how we were designated as a fire safe community. So we do appreciate this. And George, I don't know if anything to add. Thank you, Mayor, Council, City Manager. I echo the same sentiments as Chief Jenkins. Fire prevention is a, excuse me, I need some water. Fire prevention is not easy.  So it is our job to make sure that we educate the public on fire safety, not only cooking fires, but smoking, electrical fires, heating fires and things of that nature. And I have to get kudos to my staff. I think they do an outstanding job educating the public, outstanding job, doing inspections and outstanding job, working in the community. So again, we thank you for this opportunity and look forward to continuing to work with Citizens in the Columbia. Thank you. Hello, my name is Christine Haid and I'm here with other members of the League of Women Voters of Columbia. I may be familiar to you because I attend council meetings regularly. I'm a member of the League of Women Voters Observer Corps which is a group of members who attend city council meetings, school board meetings, county council meetings and then write up summaries of the key decisions and key issues raised at those meetings and then share that with our members. So as the member assigned to regularly attend in your meetings, I wanna thank you for your commitment to the city and to your service and for all of your service. I'm here today to introduce you though to the president of the League of Women Voters of Columbia, our president, Kerry Elliott, who is going to share a few words with you about vote411.org. Good evening, mayor and council members and city manager Wilson. So glad to be here. Again, my name is Kerry Elliott and I wanna talk to you about an excellent resource for voters in the state of South Carolina and across the nation. It is called Vote411. It was established by the League of Women Voters in 2006. It is a one-stop shop for election and voter information where voters can go and find out about their ballot, their polling location, whether or not they're registered and it helps them to correct any misinformation if they need to. And a special aspect of Vote411 is our voter guide, which what we do is during an election season, we will interview those candidates who are running for office and they'll answer some questions that the voters can then go and read those responses. It is a very good way for voters to learn more about who it is that they're entrusting with their voice when they vote. And it's also a way for the candidates to engage and have greater contact with voters. In 2022, we had 83,000 unique visitors to our Vote411 website. In Richland County, we had Richland and Lexington counties, we had 17,000. And so it's important to recognize elected officials that voters wanna hear from you. And by engaging with us and helping us to spread the word, we have a more informed electorate because knowledge is power and it empowered democracy is the lifeblood of a democratic society. So thank you all and we look forward to working with all of you. Thank you, Ms. Wilson. Yes, this is a request to annex the property, assign a land use classification of community activity corridor and a zoning of residential mixed use. I do wanna point to something unusual with this case. You will see the staff recommendation of denial. The Planning Commission recommendation is approval. However, that's based on the South Carolina law that provides them 30 days to provide a recommendation. If not, it's considered approved. We had two months during which this case could not get a quorum. So after two meetings, we decided to invoke that and proceed in conjunction with the applicant so that it could come to council and you could act. So that approval is by default because that's what state law provides. If you have any questions, happy to answer them. Good evening. My name is John Rowe. I represent Haven Communities, the applicant. Most of what I'm gonna speak about is in your packet that's been given to you by staff. So the subject site is three parcels that consist of 12.13 undeveloped acres. We are requesting that this be annexed into the city of Columbia with a zoning of residential mixed district. The plan for this site is to develop it into a residential site for 83 townhomes for free simple sale. The site's located near the intersection of Farrah Road and Park Lane Road. It is only accessible road frontage is on Legrand Road which terminates into interstate right of way. So it's a dead end road. The only other parcels on Legrand are two residential properties that have single family residences on them.  It does front Park Lane Road. The neighboring site is the Brook which is a worship center. And just on the other side of that is another unincorporated Richland County parcel that is currently zoned for high density residential. In your packet, there's some information about the Richland County Comprehensive Plan. This parcel does lie within the neighborhood medium density area. The Comprehensive Plan states that the primary use within this area is medium density residential neighborhoods. The primary land use for this area is single family detached duplexes and townhomes. A portion of this also lies in a proximity investment area. Those areas are to encourage development of traditional neighborhood designs and affordable housing in priority investment areas. In today's current housing market, we need affordable housing. The Midlands is in a housing shortage and with growing interest rates, affordable housing is more important than in recent years. Townhomes provide a good entry point for affordable housing. They provide a starting point for first-time buyers, young professionals. And in this area, you have Providence Health Northeast, you have Webster University and Midlands Technical College. This site would provide a great location for townhomes so that those young professionals working in these places have a place to live that's close by their work and obviously has all the amenities that the City of Columbia can provide. Thank you. Yes, sir, there were two meeting opportunities that the Planning Commission had and they would not have had quorum. So that's why we brought it forward to you. This property is in what's considered a long range annexation area, which are generally not recommended unless you devise that the costs and the benefits weigh out. This is two and a half miles away from the nearest service point for our public works for solid waste and it would extend an already somewhat stretched system to here as well as tax the police services. Yes, sir. It is not that we do not support housing. We absolutely do. It is in the county. It does not mean that it cannot be developed necessarily. However, for city services at this point in time, we do not recommend annexation. I'm sure he'll let us know as soon as... The brook, that is correct. It is, it is... Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The railroad track is across the ground from the site. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's correct. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yeah, it's time to go. My name is Makaesha Moore. Hi, I just wanted to know if this is on Park Lane by the Waffle House and the Shell gas station. I don't think that's a good place to put anything. That entire area is dangerous. You put townhouses right there. No one's gonna rent them. It's gonna be like low income housing or housing vouchers within two or three years. Nobody's gonna wanna live right there. Like that's not, I don't know whose district that is, but that whole area needs to be fixed before you add new stuff. Cause everything's already there is falling apart. Thank you. Yes. And that was a vote to defer the vote. Sir, thank you. That helps significantly. Your next case is an annexation future land use map amendment and zoning map amendment for 3214 Bluff Road. It's a request to annex the property, assign the land use classification of Urban Edge Community Activity Center in a zoning of Community Activity Center Corridor. Yeah. Thank you. All right, thank you. Is there anybody here to speak more against this item? No, I don't know. Let's speak from the bottom. I should agree, right? I have a motion and a second of any concerns. One more to this development. It's about kind of possible on out there. It looks out there in a very simple way. Sir, thank you. Yes, sir. Any doubt? Yes. Right on. And annexation future land use map amendment and zoning map amendment for 3650 Bluff Road right down the road. A request to annex the property, assign a land use classification of Urban Edge Community Activity Center in a zoning of Community Activity Center Corridor. Numbers 19 and 20 are confirmations and if it pleases council can be taken together. The first is a future land use map amendment for 118, 126, 32 and 38 Bluff Road and a zoning map amendment confirmation for the same parcels. It will request to confirm the future land use classification of Urban Core Mixed Residential and it requests to confirm the zoning of Residential Two Family Mill Village, a portion of which is in the floodplain. The final item on your agenda is a zoning text amendment for 1531 Taylor Street request to amend the unified development ordinance to add the property as a city of Columbia landmark. And similarly, we were unable to achieve quorum after two meetings with planning commission. So the planning commission recommendation of approval is based on that state law. There was a staff recommendation of approval. I wanna do something really cool with this location something fun for historic Columbia for Columbia something that can turn the block. I've had some offers already but things that aren't exciting. I wanna do something fun. We've got some interest as you said we've gotten some price estimates. I've gotten a drawing finalized from an architect and we're kind of crunching the numbers right now but this would certainly go a long way from being able to make this happen. So again, thank you for all of your service and for your consideration but I think this is very worthwhile and could be something exciting for Taylor Street. That's right. I'm familiar with district two. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you all so much. Thank you. And that concludes your public hearing. Thank you. Finally. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Ah. Yes. The two are listed first being a three arts for a presentation by committee. In terms of the arts and logic, the restructure of it might need to be done on each one. Based off of our advantage, it will take you as a support for the community. Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes. Presentation of the public hearing.  Okay. I'm just going to set that up for you. Yes. To see the algorithm. Yes. To see if I have any referrals or reports that might need to be shared this time. And sir, do you all have a tip of a word on the full street commission taking this back? And we'll have a very good day on the first act of the Chief of Second Park. And they are ahead of the sentence from the Supreme Court now. And in the next few days, they will pass the two million sentence record for Chief of Second Park, not only for the baseball game, but for the chief of the defense. They've got lots of new events that happen, the public specifically about the likes of Christmas that were, when we get back here, they're the bigger mental issue here. They were like, hey, let's not be doing it for lots of people. Yes. And they're going to be part of this group. He's one of the reason. I'm glad we're going to talk about it. And I think it's great for us to be able to take what we've talked about, program it, or if you should be able to mark out a total of five. Really, I think we're all going to talk about it. This thing brings a lot of power. Now, thanks to John Whitehead, a representative gave us a rundown where we all are going to be came from. We've got three artists, artists as opposed. So I've got to check the boxes for a lot of information on how to create parts of us. So the way he's really growing our parts of me in regards to this is that we were born to do that. It's the place of approval by the House for approval across the community. It is a great step to the show. Here, I'm not going to do my national law. Anyone else? Ms. Wilder, I'll do what I'll have to say. Good afternoon, everybody. I want to thank you, the mayor, city council, city manager, and all the staff that work with me. My husband told me to make sure I tell you all. He's happy to be back home. He don't want to go nowhere now. He just want to look out the window. But I want to thank you, especially you, Mr. McDowell. Leon is not here. I'm going to have to call him personally. We're back in our home. I'm enjoying it. I really don't want to put no furniture in there. But I want to let you know it's been a long, almost eight years. And I know I've aggravated you all. I don't mind doing that when I... Yes, uh-huh. But I just want to thank you. God is good. You know, it made my heart feel, you know, when I could go in there. I don't want to cry. These are happy tears because of the struggle that he had. I can get him in the shower with no problem. And he said, I didn't think we were going to see this house again inside. But I want to thank you. I want to thank you. It was hard on me, you know.   We fuss. I had to call him and apologize. I'm calm, but I'm still be here. I'm still fighting for my neighborhood. I want to thank everybody. I was trying to wait till everybody be here. I know it took a long time, but, you know... Yes. Yeah. I'm still going to be kind of quiet, though, you know.  I mean, I'm back in my church. My pastor be pulling me out all the time. Hello again. I forgot what I wrote in the paper. You have the paper? I forgot what I wrote in the paper. Basically, I wanted to ask y'all about what you... Oh, sorry. I was wondering if y'all could look into what's going on with our water. I know y'all are, like, looking into it worried about it. The water, like, all of it. Like, Broad River, like the water in the city and the public school. Because I heard, like, public school water on Garnes Ferry is turning yellow. I just didn't know what that was about and where it's coming from. So if y'all knew anything about that. And I keep reading weird news articles that says something's wrong with our water in, like, Broad River and Lake Murray. So I just wanted to know if y'all knew anything about that and if y'all were doing anything about that. Well, I actually met someone at the... at a festival who told me she saw it. And then the News 19 articles talking about the Carlisle textile plant having poison in the water for the past five years. It keeps popping up on my phone. So I didn't know if that was something that was fake news or something y'all knew about. Like, okay, and only one more... Okay, and one more thing. I also had a question, because I read your, like... I don't know what it's called when you ran. You were talking about how the things you wanted to fix. I appreciate everything you said. It was great. And I read about Finlay Park for tourism or something. And it was, like, 21 million y'all signed for. I just wanted to know why we don't have a water park in Columbia when they cost 38 million. And we have 21 million for Finlay Park, but not a water park. No, I've seen it. It's great, yeah.  I'm like, wait a second, they're leaving us. Go to Heartsville. I don't like that. Thank you. Thank you.


That's the course to give me another theology where I can go around and tell people you know This is the way it is and we're projecting this and we're doing this and telling people things I mean that once again we get back into that. That's like talking about You know where it can become like another religion. We don't need another religion We've got we've had enough religions, you know and Jesus says that that that the course doesn't aim That there can never be a universal theology There's never gonna be a time on this planet where everybody has like one religion and everyone goes. Yeah, do you believe that so why you know The ego is this fragmented thing where everybody has a perceived different self-concept and different beliefs and no and within the perception of the world You know that there won't be any universal theology, but there can and must be a universal experience And to me That's how I know I'm getting the forgiveness is the feelings of peace and the feelings of joy Really enjoying these connections and enjoying these these The waking up process in the ultimate sense takes place in the mind It's from looking at the false beliefs in the mind without fear of calmly looking at them and just being with false And that's those questions about a lot of times. Let's come in about being here and God's I'm good. I've had people come up to me in seminars that are elderly or something and they'll Only I have had this book When I was young, you know, or got it out of that, but it's still this a time concept They're very much tied up in the new year system And the age of the body or the passing of the body Has now has no effect on the mind And it's the mind You know the illusion of the body and nothing to do with that Then Then it's a body stop breathing. It still has nothing to do with that But if we have to work on stuff to become aware or parallel thing we have to use these experiences in order to gain awareness and we have to have another body Or does it continue when we make a transition? well, basically you at the one point says That only salvation can be said to cure and one either wakes or sleep And it says at one point he says many upon death rise and wake and at that point You know in that sense he's using death in a sense of the body. It could be any instance Just one instance Takes to wake up But but really what I hear you saying is is that you know What's the use Of this world, you know and the course is definitely saying though the world was made as a projection As a distracted device Keep your mind busy and preoccupied With things in the world with pain and pleasure and pursuits and on and on and on Even though it was made as a distracted device so does the mind wouldn't look at the belief This is meant to cover over the false belief because the attention remains focused out here That the holy spirit has a different purpose to the world That even though it was made for that purpose that was the ego's purpose now the holy spirit says here I've got a different purpose feeling We're going to use these bodies. We're going to use these whatever cars houses trees clothes everything we're going to use those in the waking up process and That's the whole idea of training the mind to start to bring a single purpose To everything that's probably the most difficult thing to grasp I've had people ask as we've even taught classes for weeks and weeks and nothing else Let me go over this again. There's a purpose that the holy spirit has to the world Could you tell me what that is again? I'm glad to know that I haven't seen one with more experienced students in the morning This is it after we've been at it for like weeks of going through the workbook and the reason it seems so vague That's purpose and that's so uh, attractive thing is that That's impossible to hold that purpose while The mind holds on to other purposes that the ego purposes that are given to the world To get things for its own sake and accumulate and all those things. We've all we've recognized that's hard in us It's just love maybe a little thrill about getting something or when I was a kid, you know Going to coney island that place To bring me happiness and salvation. I didn't use the word salvation, but I was awful happy From that place or particular rides or whatever We've all had that sense that there are other goals and purposes that are that are in our mind And they obscure our function they obscure that that abstract purpose That purpose is what brings the fusion that you talked about about but as long as It's kind of a as long as I'm going to hold tight to the corral Then gradually as I open the corral door that's purpose starts getting more and more clear in my awareness It just moves through me It's just literally of course this whole place here will tell you What to do and where to go and what to say wow You know, it's like that gives a sense of ease and effortlessness where I won't have to be struggling with each decision That I make that there'll be this presence that will start moving through me so That's that the course calls it one and ten calls it singleness of purpose It's called um goal There's a passage I think I mentioned last time the peace of God With my one goal the aim of all my living here to end my purpose and my function in my life That's common in something But it's like he's he's holding it in there. He's saying it's there It's the Holy Spirit in your mind and He's guiding you to let go of all these other um Goals that block your purpose in your mind And releasing what's in the corral there's attachment It's what makes room For that one and cancer that one purpose to be really what the mind is riveted on Because the mind will you know rivet on What is desire and if what's in the corral is what's desire that's what the mind The attention is giving to And if that's released Then the mind is freed up to rivet itself on that one purpose so it's kind of like To get to that one purpose is letting go of those attachment to the corral The ego would have to have a belief that to open up the corral is to make ourselves vulnerable Right because to the ego that that is very threatening That always struck me too and a lot of the readings I read you know where they always talk about risk honestly risk being invulnerable and everything and And You know one day it just says I was reading the court. It's it's down to me. Those two words risk honesty I mean true honesty. It seems that way at the beginning because To the ego honesty is a threat Total consistency total laying aside deceptions the ego says hey, I can't be I'll be out of business my whole My whole existence so to speak the egos is based on mirrors and schemes and games and total honesty is Is a consistency of thoughts and action and word and deeds that the ego is very afraid of so it really does seem that way at the beginning it seems like It's like there's real vulnerability and it seems like it's a risk If you've been used to repressing Then it still feels like it feels like one right because it does look and it's like It's like more of a An accepted growth And Was there a particular question or aspect of the relationship that you wanted to dress? Well, um Yeah, I I think I I'd like to see the dress relationship I'd like to understand more about what those relationships before and wider here You know just I I really didn't know anything about it and I'm just now reading about that of course I mean the same you guys Well, if we just go back to the metaphysics and kind of Look at why specialness was made or why special relationships were made I think I dressed in the first one, but I'll just address it again that in a sense Once the separation seemed to occur In an instant it was answered in an instant And now the answer was the Holy Spirit in our mind. So That's how quick that this world lasted as one instance, but it's like the ego Can wants to call forth wants to keep the mind invested in believing that that's the past Is still here doesn't want to be free of the present the ego Use of time is it says skip over the present You're guilty in the past And it's been that way for a long time It's not going to change You know it's that depressing kind of a thinking where it's like it's been bad in the past and it's going to be bad in the future And you don't have any power to change it out of the victim Whereas the Holy Spirit says Now is your point of power so to speak Right now you can get in touch with things the beliefs you can make decisions You can be open to another way of seeing and looking at right now and the Holy Spirit Uses the past to to bring the mind to the holy instance And the way this relates metaphysically is that we mentioned that the belief in separation occurred was answered in an instant And the egos so to speak the answer to the to the correction Or to the Holy Spirit was the special relationship And because this is a way of seeming to provide something Outside something on the screen That is so attractive That the mind won't want to go within to that light He wants wants to get caught up in something there and that's why the special relationship is is the I think you call it the most boasted weapon That the ego has because it's like the ace card That the pain I know in my life that I've experienced through the special relationships has been Carved quite deep and and it's hit deep things that I didn't even know were were there And and the dynamics beneath it is it's like Now that the mind Buys this belief in separation is it actually is afraid of the light Afraid of the Holy Spirit at this point in the dark in mind is Because it believes that it actually pulled off the separation It actually did just pulled off the impossible which is separated from its creator Which is really a horrifying thought and to believe in that is just a very horrifying That's this ontological guilt and fear that's very really really deep within the mind So we'll just call this this is the belief in separation So now a self concept a world and personhood And I'm now a person in the world all this all these ideas and beliefs are learned and built up on here to cover over that cornerstone Because the ego says if you go to that cornerstone and you lift that cornerstone Then God's gonna be there and and the ego says you really did it You separated from God and he will get you He will he will come after you for what you've done.  He goes as unloaded You don't like this person Get get out of get them out of your life Get as far away as you can from them, you know But you know, it's okay to hate some people the ego councils and that's its way of dumping the guilt and getting rid of and blaming But the special love is the flip side Where is I I speak for a partner or I speak for persons whether they be children or spouses or parental relationships or best friends or whatever That will make me forget about all this unconscious stuff That I can say so distracted Informed I could say so distracted with them and I can make a bargain You know with them and that even if I can get them to meet my needs a lot of times they Will serve as a god You know Still the mind is deceiving it believes that it's lacking You know, it still believes in kick out of the kingdom and everything so it's like well He says go for what you can you know, each drink can be merry Of course, you're going to die and and get as many people and friends Can be these clothes sometimes only one or sometimes the focus of a group You know, it can be you can special relationships can come in lots of ways or it could even be the things You know where you know, I've fed up with all kinds of people I never want to go near men or women again. I've had enough of that pain I'm just going to go find myself a good mountain and build myself a log cabin and get myself some Quilts or knitting or something I like to do and heck with it. You know, we're animals Any kind of academic I'll become the smartest Whatever the best botanist in the world or whatever career. It doesn't so much matter what it is, but but that's why It's it's set up that way and that's where


Tomatoes have been a central part of our diets for centuries. We love to have them on salads, pizza, and sandwiches. Let's not forget that we love to throw them at our politicians and comedians. But what would happen if one day, the tomatoes decided to attack? Happy Halloween! I'm Shannon Corthwaite and this is Come Again History and Origins. Across this great nation, almost everyone has been affected in one way or another by this terrible tomato onslaught. Mrs. Williams, I understand your husband is missing. You think he's dead? Will you miss him? Will you marry again? He'll be playing in a ditch somewhere like with both his leg bones calling your name. You will have to find another man, you know. You're no spring chicken. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a parody film created in 1978 by Stephen Pease and John DeBello as a B-movie spoof which led to three sequels in an animated series which premiered on Fox Kids in 1990 as well as a video game and a series of toys. In the original film, after a wave of reports of mysterious attacks involving people and pets being eaten by tomatoes, a special government task force is established to investigate the attacks and stop them. The team is made up of Lieutenant Wilbur Finletter, played by Stephen Pease, who never goes anywhere without his sword and parachute. Greg Colbom, an underwater expert who's never out of his scuba gear, Sam Smith, a master of disguise, Greta Attenbaum, an Olympic swimmer, and Mason Dixon, a special agent who leads the task force. The original film had a budget of $100,000 and received a $567,000 return at the box office. In the film, it's revealed that the Tomatoes can't stand the song Puberty Love, which is how the world manages to defeat them. The completed film contains a scene where a helicopter crashes, making the audience believe that the Tomatoes were the cause. However, the scene was the result of a real helicopter crash. The Hiller aircraft UH-12E, which had been rented for the film, was supposed to have landed on a tomato patch behind a number of police officers. However, during the landing, its rotor were hit the ground and caused the craft to spin out of control near the ground. It then rolled and burst in the flames with the pilot escaping without any serious injuries. In the film, it's stated that the copter was hit by a kamikaze tomato. Though the film didn't receive very good reviews, it did spawn an entire franchise with a cult following. In 1988, a sequel set 10 years after the original was produced, where Tomatoes have been outlawed, people have had to find creative new ways of getting by without them, such as Finletters Pizzeria, where Wilbur produces tomato-less pizzas of a wide variety. Wilbur's nephew Chad works for him as a delivery boy. Chad's roommate Matt Stevens also takes a central role in the film as a suave ladies man, played by a very young George Clooney. Though George credits this film as his worst, I'd have to say it's a lot better than Batman and Robin. Also joining the cast was John Aston, who played Professor Mortimer Gann Green and his assistant Igor, played by Steven Lundquist, as the villainous duo who unleashed another wave of killer tomatoes in order to conquer the world. Gann Green developed a way to transform ordinary tomatoes into replicas of human beings, one of them being that of Tara who falls in love with Chad and defects to the side of good. Just as with the first, the film was critically panned, however it did produce two more sequels in an animated series back to back. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the animated series, followed the events of Return of the Killer Tomatoes, the second film in the franchise. The Professor in the series, however, was renamed to Putrid T. Gann Green and was played by the returning John Aston. The reason the animated series and the sequel were made wasn't so much to do with the popularity of the original movie, but because of the Muppet Babies episode The Weirdo Zone, where Fawzi talks about how he once faced an attack of silly tomatoes, which used scenes from the movie. The episode was one of the more popular among the series and thus caused Marvel Productions to approach the producers of the films about making a sequel in an animated series. Following Return of the Killer Tomatoes and the series, the 1990 film Killer Tomatoes Striked Back, followed by Killer Tomatoes Eve France, were produced. John Aston returned in both as the evil Doctor Mortimer Gann Green. In 2008, a remake of the original film was announced, however it never saw the light of day. The most memorable part of the entire franchise was the theme song, which was written by film creator and director as well as star John DeBello, which describes the tomatoes rampages through the world.

So this is a nice special specifically for people who Really want to just jump into it and start learning the system doing it doing options getting all the trade calls Being in the day trend room every day listening to my market review as an analysis and learning how I make the stock picks For pretty much everything I do what I do is very strategic a lot of people look at trading as gambling or 5050 I don't think like that. I don't look at things like that I go through a 26 point rating system, and that's what you will learn in the Golden Gap course So if you're interested you can reach out to me email me at Melissa at the stockswush.com or call me at 9 to 9 3200 gap follow me on Twitter Facebook YouTube or Skype So Microsoft was one of the big plays today was a Golden Gap and actually had earnings last week here Stop close to your gapped up called two options in it last week The other one blew up today the second one and this was a beautiful day trade today And sometimes I will call the same trade and the options newsletter and in the day trading room The same ticker symbol when I do that, you know that I'm in love with it And you absolutely absolutely know that I think this is a fabulous gap, which Microsoft was I also really like the chart So this was a bullish move. This was a long anyways all the trades in this worked But I will tell you that I don't call the same trades always for the newsletter and the day trade room So some things are different But what I'm saying is when I do call something in both and you know that it's a good one And so this was really one of those ones and it's earning season and Microsoft did it So I'm running this special through the end of this week through Friday February 7th the Golden Gap course the trends course the options newsletter and the trading room free through the end of the Year all for one price for $74.99. This is a great deal It ends Friday So you have to sign up if you're interested like by Friday and decide to do it And if you want to email me for the forms you get the forms from me the class itself The Golden Gap course is February 29th and March 1st. The trends course is March 3rd Okay So you write them down in your calendar and again a Eastern time zone 9 to 5 is when the class is on the weekend I think it's really important to have a teacher a mentor someone that I'll constantly and constantly be telling you Like I said, this is a good one. I'm in love with this. Here's why I like this. Here's why I don't like this Here's why this work. Here's why this didn't work You know those kinds of things and I'll tell you it's very very interesting because When when you are unsure and especially if you're new new to trading or new to gaps or just new to my methods Which pretty much everyone is until they find me because what I do the way that I look at charts is extremely unique Which is one of the reasons why I'm so successful and this works, but it's it's about Having someone support you in the learning process Okay, and then call the trade so you get all the trades free until the end of 2020 and that's huge because really it's only February 4th So this was the chart from last week of Facebook and I gotta tell you this this trend ended up working But Facebook was crazy last week The stock may brand new all-time highs right in here the night before the earnings then gap down in the earnings fell off a cliff Then rallied on the day then gap down the next day Then felt like a rock and then obviously this was with the market and everything else then on Friday So I called puts in this it was a nice move I called them super duper super duper tight So I called them on Thursday to expire on Friday and wouldn't you know they worked they worked So this was one of those things where I mean honestly honestly I tell people you either cut the trades off at 50% loss or hold them all the way through do they go positive? I really think people have to decide for their own, but because I called this so tight You know I see something in that gap and I'll go back here when I rate this gap that tells me That it's going to move in the direction that I call it Which isn't either a put or a call or a short or a long depending on whether they're day trading it, okay? So the Facebook put strike 205 worked the very last day and it ran hard through that strike Which is what you really have to do if you hold it the last day by the way So cost was cheap because it expired the next day a dollar sold to 80 profit 12,600 of a risk of 7,000 return investment 180% so for those of you that don't understand options or know anything about it Basically, you only have it risk with the cost of the contract is and so you could about one contract one That's it. You could have bought ten and spent a thousand bucks You could about one and spent a hundred dollars and then you would have made what two hundred eighty bucks That's a good or you would have made a hundred eighty bucks You would have you would have sold it for 280 if you had bought one contract It was sold up for 280 would have made a hundred eighty dollars risking a hundred. That's a good trade That's a good trade So the bottom line is that when you're taking risk you have to look at the cash size of your account What type of trade you're doing? Do you have a margin account? Do you have a cash account? Is it a day trader you're holding in an overnight as an option? These are all things you take into account and we discuss a lot of days in the room actually besides just the classes Well, I'll tell you winter is a great time though to work from home. It is freezing here in New York right now We're supposed to get freezing rain Thursday snow over the weekend. We had a very mild winter though I will say that but I can tell it's super cold tonight Super duper cold tonight, so I can tell that winter is not over yet And for me not to have to commute in Manhattan and have to go in this subway and deal with the bad weather or try to get A cab on days. It's raining. I'm telling you it's so convenient It's so nice to work from home and if you want to become a professional trader You can work from home too if you're making the transition you can work at your office You could trade in the morning part-time and then go to work you can do this a lot of people Decide they want to trade once they retire and then they do it from home for extra income So I will tell you it's nice either way though, especially if you live in the Northeast So 2020 is off to a fabulous start for the stocks wish great start Some people have had huge starts this year one trader called me yesterday absolutely ecstatic She's made two hundred eighty thousand dollars and that was as of yesterday So there's tons of trades today that worked and she's up that much since January and it's been only a month Into the air so people are doing fabulous. I'm calling really really good trades this year I've been doing this now for a long long time. So, you know, I like anything else. It's think of sports Think of athletes they get better over time I have gotten better over time at looking at something and predicting the move the stock of the markets going to make Is about seasoning it is experience I've gotten better at my read on things of the gaps and price analysis Being on television has helped again all of these things combined. I am really At such a high level right now. It's a great time to join. It's a great time to get on board I'm really excited about how well people are doing just super duper excited And I'm looking forward to a lot bigger things because it's only February 4th So the rest of the year is ahead of us if you're thinking of joining again If you want to be a full-time trader, you can do it with the right system with the right support And again, you can work from home. So I teach a class. It's called the golden gap course And again, this is a special that i'm running for the class february 29th and march 1st It includes the golden gap course the trends course the options newsletter to the end of 2020 and the trading room to the end of 2020 Costs 74 99 that's 7 499 us dollars Offer ends to seven if you want to sign up US email me for the forms then it will send them to you Then you fill them out and factor scan them back.

That's where you get these huge trades That's where you get the high level profitability and that's where you get the best price So I focused really so much of my system and the way that I look at things to get the best pick in the right direction And also to get the best entry. All right, so that is what I focus on 2020 is your year if you've been thinking about doing it. Do not delay You can do this again with the right support system I know a lot of people try to trade and they say, oh, you know, I've failed in the past But just because you fail in the past does not mean you're going to fail forever in the future If you want to have an optimistic attitude, I'm here to support you in doing this Email me at melissa at thestockswish.com and don't miss out on this offer.
