You just have to sign up ahead of time. The date is this coming Monday, October 7th at 4.30 p.m. Eastern. So we're going to talk about a lot of things. This is a great time of the year to start to analyze and think about where you're headed with your life for 2014, specifically financially. Do you wish you knew a strategy to trade in the market that paid an annual income of over six figures or more? Do you want to earn a more substantial income than you earn from your current career? Or say you're in a job and you might be in this job for a long time, but you really are not making the kind of income that you want to make or even that you feel that you rightfully should be making with their level of experience that you have. Have you been trying to train the market and falling short of your current income goals? Do you wish you knew how to make money consistently in the stock market? Well, it's time. It's time for you to unlock the key to your personal profit potential in the market. Learn how to trade one high-end campaign strategy, which is gaps. Gap trading is where the real money moves and momentum of the market take hold. Trading gaps makes it possible to trade for a living as your career. One quality strategy is all you need to pay yourself on a regular basis. Knowing one good strategy you can replicate over and over and over again for profits can change your trading world. I know because I've done this for myself and I'm doing this now and I'm teaching people how to do it too. Having one powerful strategy that pays will open up your eyes to the true profit potential of the market and all the market can give you. The market can offer you a real lifelong career if you have a strategy that makes you money consistently and this is what it's really about for people. Ultimately, trading is about generating income. Gap trading offers traders visible income, meaning it's real money and it's there. It's there in the trade. Real visible income production. Learn something. You can replicate in the market over and over. If you have been looking to make six figures in the market look no further. Gaps are a highly profitable strategy to trade and really it's just about the size that you take. You can take small size or big size. You're making money doing this by taking the gap moves and getting paid on the power of the momentum. You can make money to pay your bills, live a full life and work in less than an hour a day. It's true visible income real profit results and it is visible. Visible results that count. Where do you see yourself? I mean really where do you think that you could possibly be in a year two years, five years from now? Do you want a career where you can make over six figures annually? Are you trading now and don't have a strategy at all? And if you are trading now and don't have a strategy, this is a problem and you need to learn one. So we're going to go over this here. This is GPN. Beautiful gap that happened to start out the month of October. Look at it. Looks like it's something hanging in the sky in midair and yet it was a beautiful bullish gap. It was a very aggressive buy and a fantastic golden gap. So you could have traded this in the morning. You could have been in this aggressively into the open here, ran up literally more than $2 into the first beginning morning period and got to the dream target. Target was 56, went over that and actually carried through and went to 57 then and above. So it had a nice afternoon play. You could have done in the morning, got out and you could have done it again in the afternoon. Into 2 o'clock, 2.15, 2.30 reversal time in the afternoon. There's often pullbacks in trades whether you're in longs or shorts and into that major reversal time it's a nice time to get into follow-through moves to play out the stock to the bigger target on the day. So the entry time was 2.20. Price was 55.79. This is for the afternoon entry. Stat was actually under 55.45. Risk was 34 cents. On 1,500 shares, if you wanted to risk that amount, it would be 5.10 and at the target it was 57.25. It actually went past this. It actually went a little bit over here above 57.30, 57.40. I should try to get up to. So it really had a beautiful close and beautiful move in the day. Total profit was over $2,000. Risk to rewards four times the amount risk was made in profit turning $510 into 2,040 in one trade and this happened really in a very quick period of time. You got in this around 2.20-ish and it ran up here to the number really within an hour's period. So it's a beautiful move. I knew it could have taken out into this bar here when it pushed up into the whole number. So it was a nice four-hour trade and a four-hour trade in the middle of the afternoon. This just doesn't happen often. How does this happen? What is making this this gap? This beautiful, beautiful, beautiful golden gap. This is what allows you to take something pretty much all day long if you want to or to the bigger numbers to the dream numbers and that's what happened here with the GPN. So you can see how the money adds up quickly when you're taking trades. If you're making $2,000, $3,000 on trades you can see how you can very easily get to six figures quickly. So come to this free webinar and learn. Learn how to unlock the keys to your own success with one high-paying strategy because that's really all it takes. I only do one thing. This strategy, that's it. That's all that I do. And it's a great time of the year to train. Fall is a very busy time. Busy time to train with tons of opportunity in the market for moves. I teach a class. The class is called the Golden Gap Course and it is a complete system to learn how to trade gaps. And you will learn more about this at the lecture on Monday. It's called the Golden Gap Course and again I teach people how to take positions in stocks and trade gaps. I also am doing a special class on trends. This is a secondary course to the Gap Course. First it's the Gap Course. You get everything you need to know about gaps and now the Trends Course teaches you everything you need to know about trends. And I'm running a special combo class for October if you want to do both courses. Both classes for October you can do the Golden Gap Course which is October 12th and 13th and the Trends class which is October 15th and 16th. So I'm running a special for October for both these courses. So come and learn more information about this fall special at the webinar on Monday. Remember fall is a great time to trade to make money ahead of time for the holiday season. You've got a couple months until the holidays. You can save up money, make money, do your thing now so you can get going and get ready to buy some nice presents for your family and friends for the holiday season. So I will see you at the free event on Monday. October 7th, 4.30pm Eastern Time. All you have to do is go to this link here and register. Registration is free. You just have to do it ahead of time. Thank you so much for coming and I'll see everyone at the lecture Monday, October 7th at 4.30pm Eastern Time. See you then.

Please know the city of Santa Rosa is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment free from disruption. We will not tolerate any hateful speech or actions and will monitor that everyone is participating respectfully or they will be removed. If necessary, we will also immediately end the meeting. This meeting is being recorded and will be placed on the city website following the meeting. Thank you, Steve. Once again, I want to thank you for joining us tonight. Your participation and your input are important to us as we share with you the design for improving safety on our city roadways for all users. This design is based on community feedback from our meeting and survey this past spring. We'll start tonight's meeting with an overview of the agenda and topics we plan to cover. The project description, the timeframe, we'll go through the presentation of the design options, we'll then open it up for public comment and go over next steps. So for starting with the project description, so tonight, as I mentioned, this is the local road safety plan we are sharing with you tonight and we're sharing with you the design options or the design that we came up with on North Dutton Avenue. These improvements will include bike lane installations, lane reductions and pedestrian enhancements along this corridor. For the time frames, we're actually unsure of the implementation time of this project. I say this because we did apply for a grant to construct this project on a faster pace over the summer, but we recently heard that we were not awarded that grant. So that doesn't mean that we won't do the project and it won't get done, we just need to find another funding source to be able to proceed with the construction of the project. So we also look at segmenting this project into smaller pieces as funding becomes available. So our intent tonight is to continue to move forward with the design and show that to you where we are to gather your feedback and to share with you the feedback that we did here in the spring and how that helped focus our design. So following the presentation, we'll open the meeting up for comments, questions and concerns. And as I get to the presentation, if you take note of the slide number, which will be in the bottom right-hand corner of the slides, if you want to comment on a specific slide, then we could reference that during the question and answer period. So now we'll begin with the presentation. Next slide please. So the local road safety plan is a plan, there's a grant that we received to focus safety improvements on specific corridors throughout the city. These corridors were identified in our bicycle pedestrian master plan and included 4th Street between Farmers Lane and E Street Montgomery Drive, between Hammond Drive and Alderbrook Drive, Stony Point Road between West 3rd and Sebastville Road, College between 4th Street and Cowell, North Dutton between West 3rd and West College Avenue and then a section of the Rosen Creek Trail. And the important portion of why we are gathering this information is that it makes us eligible to apply for various grants and specifically the H-SIP grant, which is the Highway Safety Improvement Program grant, which is where we do get portions of our funding for these type of bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements. Next slide please. So now I'm gonna go over the length of the corridor, talk about the existing conditions on the segments and then go to what we're planning to install as far as our proposed designs for the segments and listen to, and then we'll get into the question and answer and feedback from the public. So the first section, if you wanna orient yourself, West College is actually to the left and North Dutton is in the left-right plane of the aerial shown. And section A is where we took the cross section of the roadway showing the existing conditions. So currently there's two lanes in each direction, travel lanes, a center turn lane and a parking lane on the east side of the street. Next slide please. So through the feedback we heard on our initial design proposals and feedback from the meeting, we modified the design that we had previously proposed to install protected bike lanes in the southbound direction where we have a six-foot bike lane, a nine-foot buffer with a vertical element, 11-foot travel lane, maintaining the two-way left turn lane, a southbound travel lane and then a parking lane. And the parking lane would be set away from the curb with a buffer and bike lane against the curb, again, producing a protected bike lane along that side of the road. So this is definitely safer for cyclists and it helps create a buffer even for the pedestrians who are using the sidewalk along this section of street. It adds traffic calming measures to help slow speeds by narrowing the travel lanes and still provides for the parking that's currently there without any elimination. We also looked at the capacity of the roadway and the capacity does allow for us to remove a traveling and keep the same flow of traffic. At the actual intersection of college, we would maintain the two travel lanes in the northbound direction and we would be merging the travel lanes in the southbound direction from two lanes to one lane in that segment just directly south of the intersection of West College. Next slide, please. The next cross-section that we looked at is the cross-section just north of West Ninth Street near Maxwell Court. This section of roadway currently has, again, two travel lanes in each direction and a two-way left-hand turn lane and there is a small shoulder on the east side of the roadway. Next slide, please. This section of roadway we're also proposing that we install buffered bike lanes in both directions with 11-foot travel lanes, 12-foot center turn lane and, again, providing the extra buffer for bikes and pedestrians along this segment. Now, there is also an opportunity that we could potentially add some additional parking on the east side of the roadway to continue that in this direction around the corner and that's something that we're looking at as well. Next slide, please. So this segment of roadway is just south of West Ninth Street and before I move into this segment, I just want to comment on the intersection of West Ninth Street and Dutton. So that would actually, instead of maintaining two travel lanes in the north and south direction right at the intersection, we would be converting one of those travel lanes to a right-turn drop lane in both the north and south directions. Moving further south or on the right on this picture, looking at the cross-section of the existing conditions, we have parking on the west side of the street here to two 10-foot travel lanes, 11-foot center turn lane, and then two 10-foot travel lanes in the northbound direction in this segment of roadway. This section of roadway is a little bit narrower than the other section, it's only 58 feet in width. Next slide, please. So in this section of roadway, we're planning to install buffer bike lanes in the southbound directions that would be protected with the parking from the residents along that section of roadway. So there would be a six-foot southbound bike lane, a three-foot buffer, then the parking, 11-foot traveling in the southbound direction, a 10-foot two-way left turn lane, and then a northbound 11-foot traveling with a three-foot buffer and six-foot bike lane. So the northbound section of this would not have enough room to put in an actual protected bike lane on this segment. Next slide, please. Oh, I'm sorry, keep it here for a second. I also wanted to mention that also along this segment, we'd be looking to install some pedestrian improvements at a rectangular rapid flashing beacon, or RFB, at the West Ninth Street intersection. We're also looking at crossings at Herbert and at installing crosswalks at Herbert and Boy Street in this segment, which is related to feedback we received from the public in the last meeting. Next slide, please. So moving on to the final segment, which is closer to the intersection of West Third. This segment has parking on the west side for some apartments that are towards West Third, two 12-foot travel lanes, a 12-foot center turn lane, and a 12-foot northbound lane, and then a 13-foot northbound lane. So this is a little bit wider than the rest of the segments. Next slide, please. So this segment of road we were proposing to maintain the two southbound travel lanes with the two-way left turn lane. And the reason for that is our observations of this intersection, this southbound direction does back up quite a bit in the evening peak and sometimes in the AM peak. And during that time, we wanna maintain the capacity of that intersection. And if we reduce it down to a single lane, then that will actually increase the queue length quite a bit in the north on Dutton. And by doing that, we wanna avoid people trying to go through the neighborhood because I think it'll be faster to go through the neighborhood and take an alternate route if they're that far back in the queue. So we wanna maintain that they have the ability to stack and be as efficient as possible at that intersection. Even with maintaining those two lanes in the southbound direction, we're still able to have a single travel lane in the northbound direction after it merges just after we passed the intersection of West 3rd Street. We have the two-way left turn lane and quite a large buffer lane on the northbound direction and a protected bike lane with a buffer and parking in the southbound direction. Next slide, please. So the design that we came up with is a result of the meeting that we held back in the spring, I believe it was in March. And some of the community feedback that we received from that meeting and from the survey that we sent out was that the road diet is a good solution for this roadway and many people's opinion. They wanted us to consider adding crosswalk at Boyce, Decker and Hewitt. Which we are doing. We wanted to add flashing beacons at the crosswalks, again, which is, one is planned for West 8th Street. We would likely put one at Hewitt and at Boyce if those were installed as well. And the reason we didn't consider putting a crossing at Decker is if we do put a crossing at Boyce and we have one at West 9th Street, Decker is another street. It tees into Dutton. So we do have two good options on either side of that street to continue in a direction of travel that would be coming from one of those two directions. Also comments received was to maximize the buffered and protected bike lanes were possible. And we did that in to consider shifting the parking adjacent to the traveling, which we are also showing in our proposed design. Slowing the speed of vehicles, which by narrowing the lanes and providing only the single lane of travel we do, we get rid of the racing field when we have two vehicles. Competing with one another potentially. And by narrowing the lane, it also helps to control the speeds of vehicles. The merge in the northbound direction soon after West 3rd intersection was the distance there before the merge was minimized, which was a comment we heard. We're still meeting the standards. And then to remove the sidewalk gaps. And that's something that we are also looking to do. There's some sidewalk gaps on the west side of the street between 9th Street and Decker. And then again, between West 8th and Trowbridge. Install leading pedestrian intervals. I believe this is something that our technicians may have taken care of at West 9th Street. And I'll check back on that. And to maintain, and then another comment we did, it really had, we had a couple of these comments that they wanted us to maintain the existing travel lanes. And to help with this comment, we did the observations and we looked at locations where we felt that maintaining the existing travel lanes would benefit. And so we did that in the southbound direction at West 3rd and in the northbound direction at college to maintain the capacity through those intersections. Next slide please. So we did get some community feedback from the survey responses. We received 17 surveys of those 17. 10, their top priority was to improve bicycling. Three was to improve the walking and the walking, the pedestrian experience. Three wanted us to retain the vehicle lanes. And one wanted to improve the aesthetics along the section of roadway. Next slide please. So with that, I would like to open it up to public comments. However, before I begin, I'd like to ask Steve to review how you can participate by asking the live questions and giving your comments. All right, terrific Rob, thank you. Once Rob calls for public questions or comments, we will announce for anyone wishing to ask a question or make a comment to raise their hand and zoom.  We will then call on the public one by one who have their zoom hand raised. Your microphone will be unmuted. So you may ask your question. Once you've raised your hand and asked your question or shared your input, your hand will be lowered and your microphone muted. Great, thanks Steve. Are we ready for our first question? Indeed we are. The first person in our queue is Gene Byers Spritz. Well, Gene, your microphone has been unmuted. You can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question and make a comment. Okay, well, thank you. Yes, I'm Gene Byers Spritz and thank you for this opportunity. I would encourage someone to drive the streets at night during a rain and see how the reflectors on the streets do nothing to help a person unfamiliar with the area on where to drive. You know, there are some more powerful ones in front of Mwali's garden there, I think the county section that actually do reflect but some of these white bumpity bumps do nothing and especially at night and during a rain. I also hope that the city is looking into the safety and beautification of that area because my husband and I walk that and sometimes we end up in the street hoping we don't get a hit and run because it's impossible to walk the sidewalks.  There's places a wheelchair can't go through.  The trees don't have eight foot head clearance.  Maybe do some marketing on Earth Day and Arbor Day for homeowners to go out and check their sidewalks or actually have city employees do something when a complaint is sent. I sent one over a year and a half ago and still am waiting for something to happen on that area of the sidewalk. Increase the fines and notifications to homeowners. Just some way to lessen the chance of me getting hit on the street because I can't use the sidewalks. And that's my comments. Thank you. Thanks, Ginny. Okay, great. Our next person in the queue is Chris Eggers. Chris, your microphone has been unmuted. You can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question or make your comment. Hi, this is Chris Eggers. And the first thing I want to say is, wow, this is amazing. I'm really impressed with the work that's been done and the input that has been incorporated. Thank you so much. I have one comment and then two questions. The first is if there isn't funding, is there a way to do a quick build to test the concept before actually doing a permanent build and the quick build might save some money and also give a chance to make sure that these concepts work before making it more permanent? The other question is, are the bike lanes contiguous from West College Lane to Third Avenue? I'm assuming that they continue the whole route. They're just the only changes between buffered and protected. Well, maybe there's three questions. Oh, the other question is northbound from Santa Rosa Creek to West Third. That doesn't make sense. Sorry, my question doesn't make sense even to me. Oh, from southbound from Santa Rosa Creek to West Third, why isn't that section protected as just buffered? And I'm sorry, my notes are confusing to me. Maybe you can figure that out. But all in all, it looks really amazing and good work. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. So I think I can cover those questions for you. So we actually did apply for, the grant we applied for was actually a quick build grant that we were denied. So, but I do understand your concept about, you know, trying to get some striping on the ground is as soon as possible. And that's the funding we need to search for. The bike lanes are contiguous along this entire segment and that yet they will just be changing from a protected to a buffered in several locations. And then on the west side, yes, from the creek to West Third, there would be a portion that's buffered and then with a large buffer and then it would go to a buffered with the parking adjacent. So it would be protected via the parking. So it would be a protective bike lane along the apartments where the parking's allowed. And then actually right at the intersection it narrows a little bit. It's kind of as a weird curb alignment and it does narrow a little bit right at the intersection West Third where it would just be a buffered bike lane to a bike lane right at the intersection. But the majority of it would be, the majority of the entire segment would be buffered or protected. Next caller place or next hand. All right, the next person in our queue is Aris Weaver. Aris, your microphone's been unmuted and you can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question or make a comment. Thank you. Aris Weaver with the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition. Good job. I am extremely pleased to see the combo of buffered and protected bike lanes all through here. Thank you for hearing all of our comments and implementing them. I know that this will be the first time we've had parking protected bike lanes and that might take some folks, especially drivers, a little time to get used to but I think this is so the right direction that we're wanting to go. So I'm very happy to see all of that. Tagging on a little bit what Ms. Eggers said in terms of visualizing the whole flow. I know that for you engineering types looking at those cross sections is the way that you plot things out but that's not our experience as we ride down the street. So what I keep wishing that I could see in any of these presentations is like an aerial view of the whole project with maybe as it is and then the new striping overlaid on top so that I can get a sense of the whole thing. It is really hard to visualize that when you're looking at little chunk by chunk by chunk. So that's just a wish list for future presentations that would help folks maybe get a better sense of seeing how it'll be all the way through and not just at individual spots. And then just my last comment is not so much about this piece but really hoping that it's not gonna be too long before some of these kind of improvements are extended south of this project area cause I know that needs some work as well a shepherd elementary student was the victim of a hit and run crossing Dutton on his way to school not that long ago. And there's definitely a lot of improvements that need to be done in some of those underserved neighborhoods. Thank you. Great, thank you, Aris. And I will try to get a more comprehensive design plot for that when this goes to the bike board which I'm gonna cover in a little bit but which will be in December. But I'm not gonna guarantee it but I'll try to get that design ready and plotted for that meeting. Steve, next person please. The next person and our cue is Larry. Larry, your microphone has been unmuted. You can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question or make a comment. Thank you, Larry Fields. My wife and I are residents of the Trowbridge neighborhood and we would second Jeannie on the condition of sidewalks and the walkability of the neighborhoods which is the primary reason I tuned in. Love the plan, love the bike paths. Little bit concerned about the reduction of lanes beyond the creek. We often find evening times, especially in poor weather, the traffic backs up beyond our street on the entrance. Mostly this is just feedback and I'm not sure where your authority or planning goes but I understand much of the county areas are small strips of it in there, sidewalks and road maintenance. Previously under the county had been lacking. There's no curbs and gutters. Streets are patched potholes. Would love to find a way into at least the awareness of your department on fixing those things and I'll wind up on just the sidewalks themselves as if the project is limited in scope to the Dutton Corridor. Other than the creek trail, I really like the design part of it, the bike paths. I didn't hear a lot of mention about what the sidewalks would be and even as I'm looking at this picture, aesthetically I appreciate the value of trees but in terms of walkability, those are single lane sidewalks. I think someone else mentioned being forced to walk into the street. The ability to walk side by side with a companion on the sidewalks, I think adds aesthetically to the neighborhood and certainly to the safety of a main corridor like this for pedestrians. There's a lot starting to develop in the downtown Santa Rosa area. These neighborhoods have been long neglected and I think deserve some attention for the livability for the current residents as they age and need to have that pedestrian friendly community that allows them access to the downtown and the railroad square area. Thank you very much. Great, thanks Larry. Yeah, our first focus would be for the gaps and sidewalks where we don't have. Sorry, there we go. The first focus would be on the sidewalk gaps where we currently don't have any sidewalk is where we focus the effort for this project and this project is limited to the scope for this current project is limited to Dutton Avenue between college and West Third. If there are, if you do have specific potholes we do have a pothole line or you can call our standard line which is<PHONE_NUMBER> and report a pothole in a location maybe with the address or you could also go on to our city website and there's a location. I believe it's if you put in my Santa Rosa I believe that will help you guide you to a location where you could report a pothole as well. Okay, I think I got most of your things and thank you for your comments. All right, the next person in our queue is Stephanie Myler. Stephanie, your microphone's been unmuted. You can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question or make your comment. Stephanie, I'm sorry to interrupt. Steve, I just got a message from our translators that because of timing we wanna go ahead and switch them so if we can take a moment to do that before we entertain Stephanie's comments, please. Definitely, give me just one moment. Thank you everyone for your patience. Okay, sorry about the delay. So again, Stephanie, your mic is unmuted. You should be able to state your name for the record if you wish and then ask your question or make a comment. Hi, this is Stephanie Myler and yeah, this is really great as anyone that lives in this area or right off towards that and as I do knows that it's a big problem. So this is great news and it looks like a great plan. I do have a question. I've been trying for several years, literally. I live on Saracen, which if you look at the design of that street, we all know that people speed down North Dutton at high speeds. And because of the poor design of Saracen where it connects with North Dutton, they literally have no need to slow down. So they come off the speeds of North Dutton onto Saracen, which is 25 miles an hour. And there's been several accidents that have happened. Car drove into a business that's right across the street from me on Saracen. Someone drove into my fence and if it wasn't metal, they probably would have been in my living room. Every time anyone on that street comes out of the block just jump on this. But I mean, it's so closely related to North Dutton. I'd like to know what can be done about this and what's the plan? I mean, I've talked to multiple people over several years with zero results. Thanks, Stephanie. I think you've talked to me at one point. I probably have. So, and I'm familiar with the exact issue you're talking about and there was at one point a development that was being planned for one of the parcels along there and it was conditioned with that development to install a speed hump right across from the pork chop island in that northbound direction. So as you were coming in that northbound direction, I believe a speed hump was going to be installed. And that is probably one of the only places I think that we've approved a speed hump to be installed, I'd say in the last probably five to seven years because the fire department is not allowing them anymore and they thought that this was an okay location to put one. So we were waiting for that development to go in so that they could put it in with there as part of their improvement plans. And so I will check in on that. And I think I still probably do have your email. So I will check back in with you once I find that information back. So thank you for your comment. Okay, the next person in our queue is Mark Mortensen. Mark, your mic has been unmuted. If you state your name for the record, if you so choose and ask your question or make a comment. Great, thank you, yes. Mark Mortensen, I'm a West End resident. I live a couple blocks off of Dutton here on West 8th. Number one, just wanted to say I really support the plan. I appreciate the efforts of the people who have provided input earlier and earlier meetings and the efforts of staff to make this happen. Couple quick questions, I also wanted to say that, if Eris Weaver supports it, then it's a good thing. So I really appreciate that. Wondering if on some of the bike lanes that aren't protected but have barriers there that are sheltered, what's the terminology? Anyway, part of them, some of them were showing vertical uprights, just those little yellowish vertical things. Wondering if it's possible for those to be installed on the other ones that are not protected, on the other bike lanes not protected. That was one question. Other question was, what's the proposed speed limit for the traffic going through there now? Obviously fewer lanes, hopefully slowing down, but I didn't see any reference to that. Last question was, what are leading pedestrian intervals? And that was it. It would be great to get some landscaping in there on some of those areas where there are buffers. You know, maybe some areas that could be planted strips or something. I know it's a cost, but it's a big chunk of pavement running right through and very wide and maybe getting some greenery in there would be great. Again, thank you so much. Great, thank you. So I think I got all your questions and I'll go through them as you asked them. So the vertical element that we showed was not shown on some of the buffers because we need to provide a certain width for the street sweepers to get in there. And if we put the vertical elements, we need to make sure that there's enough room to still provide that street super access, otherwise we'll never be able to sweep the street until we get a smaller street sweeper. So that's the reason for... And I showed the vertical elements in the center on the nine foot buffer, which it may not be directly in the center. It may be closer to the travel lane just to make sure that we have that room that we need to get the sweeper in there. So that might be a limitation to the software that we're using to indicate that. I agree it would be wonderful to have some type of something a little nicer than just the bollards there. It's a huge cost difference. So we have to look at, do we want to implement this, implement it with the bollards or implement it with a planter strip, and the costs associated with those are pretty big. So I would rather install it sooner with the bollards and come back later if we can and install it with the greenery just to get it implemented. But I'm willing to hear from the public on that. The speed limits, so I think I skipped the speed limit. So the speed limit is currently I believe 35 on this roadway. After the design is implemented, we resurvey it and see where the speed then lies because we do use the 85th percentile to help us determine what the speed limit is along the street, which is where we go out. We do a radar survey of the street. We take the information of what the 85th percentile is and 85th percentile is 85% of those vehicles are going at a specific speed or less. That means 15% are going at a speed a little bit higher than that. And that's what we use and that's what the state uses to set speed limits. So there's also another build that was passed. It's called AB 43, which has some other stipulations to it which may help us lower the speed limit, but the state is actually still working on some language and rules on how to do that so that we can still use radar to enforce those speed limits. So yes, we would definitely be looking at the change in speed limit once the improvements were implemented. For example, we've done that on Hopper Avenue. The speed limit there was 40 miles an hour with a very similar configuration to this, and we were able to reduce that down to 35 once the changes were made and we resurveyed that street segment. And then your last question was, what is a leading pedestrian interval? So that's where we have the pedestrian actually, when a pedestrian button is pushed, the pedestrian actually gets served about five to seven seconds ahead of the vehicles being released from the queue. So it gives the pedestrian time to establish themselves in the crosswalk prior to any of the other vehicular movements going in that direction. All right, Steve, we're ready for the next question. All right, our next person in our queue is Sunti Lozano. Sunti, your microphone has been unmuted and you can state your name for the record if you so choose and then ask your question or make a comment. Hello, my name is Sunti Lozano and just to give a little context, I'm the shop manager of Santa Rosa Tyres Plus right on the corner of North Dutton and West Ninth. So when I saw this planning and the webinar, I was definitely very interested in joining in and just seeing what's the plan for this section of road. I've grown up in this area and my family business has been there for 20 plus years. I've grown up just watching the traffic and seeing the flow of traffic and just the overall general area and also seeing a lot of traffic accidents in the intersection of West Ninth and North Dutton. And so with that, with seeing this over the years and with seeing the new, the plans for it, I think it's definitely a good idea to try to slow down traffic because not to be disrespectful to anybody, but man, the traffic through the area is definitely very fast. Everybody drives very fast through this intersection through this area. It's just a very high traffic area. And so with the new plans, I definitely think it's somewhat of a good idea. I'm kind of like 50-50 on breaking down the lanes just because it's such a high traffic area. I understand like adding the buffering areas and the combed off areas for the bike lanes and that eliminates one lane, but I just feel that that will add to the traffic of the area and there's already so many inpatient drivers out there in this area that they feel like they need to speed. They feel like they need to get to where they are going very quickly. And that's just one concern that I have about the lane change for this area. And so that's just kind of like a little, I feel like a big thing that the area needs to consider when making these changes. I guess just one question that I have is if this is gonna go through, when do you think that that would happen? Just because I feel like with the construction of that, that may impact the businesses in the area. And because I feel like if there's a lot of construction and a lot of things going on that may want to divert people from the area at the time to come into the area. So being that there were a lot of traffic, a lot of people come into the area and you're looking to come to the businesses in that area that may affect business in general. But overall, I feel like it's definitely a good idea to add these safety things and just overall project of adding more walkability, more bike ability, and then kind of hopefully kind of slowing down the traffic if possible. But that's just my main concern is this area is definitely a high speed area. A lot of people definitely do drive very fast to this area. I definitely see being on the corner of northwest ninth, see just accidents in that intersection. I see a lot of speeding on the daily. So I'm just hoping that this can help that. But then again, you're talking about a lot of, there's still a lot of traffic that goes through this area. So I hope that can help. Great. Yeah. So I understand the concern about lane reductions and we don't take that lightly when we look at the different locations that we're proposing to do that. This location, the volumes definitely support the ability to have a lane reduction. Similar locations where we've done this over the years, just to give some examples, Mission Boulevard, we've gone from four lanes or five lanes to three, Calistoga Road, we've gone from five lanes to three. Those are both in the 14 to 15,000 vehicles a day. They still have a very similar number of vehicles a day. It's not even more. And they still flow very, very well. So the volume is something that we definitely concern before, we look at before we even consider modifying the lanes to the lane reduction. But we also want to provide bike lanes, obviously, and safety for all users. And that's definitely a council goal that we have. The other thing you mentioned is during the construction, how does that work? We definitely notify all the businesses and work with them during a construction project in order to help minimize the disruption. It depends on what is going to be done as far as are we just going to be changing the striping? Are we going to be changing the striping? Because we don't have the funding right now, I can't give you a when. So, but if it turns out that we end up changing the striping, then we're doing a slurry seal or changing the striping, we're doing a paving job. Those will have a little bit more impact than just changing the striping on its own because they're much larger projects. But at this point, I can't tell you exactly what that disruption might be or how long it may be. But we would be sending up changeable message signs telling the public that there's going to be construction during these certain dates, during these certain times. We can give them alternate routes through the area. And typically we maintain at least one lane of travel through the area at all times because we need it for emergency response. We need it for our bus routes. We need it for people just to get to where they're going. So we don't intentionally disrupt traffic just to do a project. We try to make everything kind of cohesively work together. So, but I do appreciate your concern. And I do hear what you're saying. So thank you. Steve, do any more comments? We do Rob Chris Eggers. Your, your mic has been unmute has been unmuted. You can state your name for the record again, if you so choose and ask for question, make your comment. Hi, Chris Eggers here again. Just one question I forgot to ask about what is happening to facilitate bicycle left turn southbound onto nice street. So two things can be done. Currently, I believe we do have cameras at the intersection that will detect a bike in the left turn lane. The other option would be to do a two stage crossing at that location if the person is not in entitled to want to take the left turn lane. So they would do it. They would cross the street and then either enter the crosswalk or enter the traveling to cross in the eastbound direction. Okay, Rob, at this point, I see no more hands raised in the queue. All right. Does anyone else has any questions now is the time. Okay, next slide please. So moving on to the next steps for the project. So we will be taking this item to the bicycle pedestrian advisory board on December 15th. At that time, I'll try to have a little bit more comprehensive of what we're going to be talking about. So we're going to be taking this item to the bicycle pedestrian advisory board. Striping plan layout for view. And I will, it's very hard to get a large plan like that on us on one slide is almost impossible. So it definitely be several slides worth. And then we did mention about the budget that we applied and did not receive the quick build grant. But our CIP or our capital improvement program is. We also have funding opportunities that we could potentially help help fund this project with, or even segmenting the project into smaller pieces and segmenting and funding smaller pieces of it. As we move forward. So you can also find this presentation at the local road safety plan. If you visit our srcity.org slash LRSP, that's forward slash. And next slide please. You can also use contact me if you have any questions and Mike, we will leave this contact information up for you for. Say that next minute or so that you can write down my phone number and my email address. And if you have any additional questions, feel free to give me a call. And with that, I'd like to thank everyone for their participation tonight and thank the interpreters and our hosts. And thank you for everyone for their input. I really appreciate it and value it. With that, thank you. Good night.


Hi guys. Welcome everyone. Hi Sarang. Welcome guys. Hey Lucky. What's up? Hi Sudarshan. Hi Yash. Hi Mr. Lost One. So everybody, a warm welcome to Entrepreneur India. Hi. Hi everybody. Hey Haran. So guys, welcome to the next episode of Lighten Up. This is Priya Darshani Patva. The features editor with Entrepreneur India. Last week we spoke about vegan movement, conscious beauty choices and why are we moving towards vegan products. This week we have someone very interesting with us. This man needs no introduction. Loved by millions. He is the most popular YouTuber and influencer. So today we have our live with Ranveer who is popularly known as Be a Biceps. So we are going to just invite him and let's get to know everything about. Always happening on social media. Also guys, whoever is an inspiring influencer, content creator, make sure you post your questions and we're going to ask him everything. Hi Ranveer. Hi Priya. How's it going? Great. Yeah. What's up with you? The usual, just getting set with my lockdown life again. So I've just figured out my schedule over these last four months and my day doesn't begin before this time. So you're the first commitment I have today. Well, so that is a wonderful thing because I remember that for a while I wanted you on our next episode and finally we have you here. So very excited. So as you were talking about your schedule, so how about you start with telling us that because the lockdown has totally changed the content creation and your lives of all the content creator, how is it happening with you? So in terms of content, a lot of our content that we create has changed. The topics I write about has completely changed because people just have different needs right now. And those are my private schedule. I figured that because I teach people information, I have to read a lot of information also to be able to teach. And in real life, I didn't get that chance to read as much as I had to. So now from like, say 12 am to about 3 am always, sometimes 4 am, I'm just reading a lot of stuff, you know, just trying to refuel. And that's actually been the priority and lockdown as a creator to kind of refuel my own head. And then I get up late, I get up around say I start shooting around this time.  So you know, Ranveer, like we all know that you started as a fitness influencer, you were talking about your journey. So was it a conscious choice to pick that particular subject? So honestly, it was something that I was very into back in college fitness. And I just thought that, you know, let's kind of teach the world what I've learned over the last four years of college. So it was just that I also initially thought that I'll become the guy who owns gym chains all over the world and all. Thank God I didn't do that. But eventually I realized that it's not, I shouldn't just limit myself to fitness, I should do other stuff also and then you shouldn't grooming, etc. So you know, that's what my next question was about to be that you have diversified into tons of content. You talk about fashion, grooming, you also do financial advices out there.  So most of the people stick to one niche.  No, I feel like we experimented a lot. And you need to always see how your audiences, how your numbers are reacting to your experiments. That's all you have to be conscious about. So once we figure out that people like fashion content done by us, we continue down that line. When we wanted to start talking about mental fitness, we saw people like all this meditation content, you know, content around anxiety, things like that. People enjoy watching that. So your audience always tells you what you should be creating. And at the same time, as a creator, you should be responsible. You should do a good job with your research, all that. So as long as you're playing that game, it's pretty safe. Or if we have a lot of people, somebody is also saying, can they see your biceps? No, God. I don't know, one aspect of my job always objectify my own body. I'm kidding. Because you are so much into fitness and fitness is a new mantra we really need to follow because this is a time when we need to be mentally and physically both fit. So what are the five tips you would give to every people out there to make sure they are at best of their fitness? As much as you can minimize eating dessert, that's what I always tell people. It'll just cut off a lot of excess calories, a lot of wrong kinds of things that you're putting inside your body because dessert is made up of mehda sugar and a lot of fat, which is not healthy for you. So if you can minimize it great, you know, limit yourself to once a week. Secondly, keep your kitchen a little free of Chakna. Like I think that's one big reason Indians actually end up losing their health because of all the snacks and all we eat once in a while. Third, I'd say do any kind of movement for sure. Whatever, you know, you want to do whether that's walking, weight training, yoga, anything, but definitely move your body, even if it means doing Jharupocha at home, do that. But like, you know, just ensure that your body is moving in some way. Fourth, I'd probably say enjoy yourself also like keep your cheat meals present in the week. Once, twice a week is perfectly fine. If you can produce it to one, nothing like it. But even twice a week, it's all right. And finally, I'd say that definitely meditate also because meditate builds your focus, your discipline and you need those things in your fitness journey. So don't ignore meditation. So, you know, this is the time when we see that a lot of people are also moving towards social media. I think it's more of a digital revolution that has taken place. And I believe that people didn't think that, you know, we would move to a whole digital era altogether. So, because you are yourself an entrepreneur, and you have a company of your own that focuses so much on digital growth, what are few tips you would tell to what a few mistakes before you get tips, I would want to know what a few mistakes that brands and creators make on social media? Okay, brands, honestly, I feel like brands make the mistake of kind of creating a campaign for creators and when they're doing influencer marketing, they just tell them, just do this, do this. So, that's wrong. You need to give the creator the independence and the, you know, freedom to market brands how they want. That's what the brands do in terms of creators. I feel like people need to be present on multiple social media platforms. People think that just by being present on Instagram, they can build a career, it's not as simple as that. And honestly, when you're on two or three platforms together, they all feed off of each other. So you should be on YouTube, but also on Instagram, on LinkedIn, but also on Twitter. If you can do all these, nothing like it. And that's what you should build towards honestly, if you're an individual creator. So, and, you know, from a very content point of view, when we talk about building business, so I think a lot of creators are struggling with combining it into also a money, earning a resource. So how would you tell people that, you know, our content creators, you'll be generated. I feel initially in the one year that you started will be difficult and you have to figure out how to make money in that one year. So when I was making fitness videos, the obvious thing was I'll be noticed by people who want to become fitter. Hello, can you hear me? Hello. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? I think I'm losing you in between. Okay. Are we better? Yeah, better. Okay. Yeah. So basically, I was saying, in your first year, you need to figure out how to make money. I knew that my audience is a fitness centric audience. So I actually started training people back in my first year. So you have to do some Jugaad to earn money in your first year. But after that, it's money, money comes. So even if it means taking a loan for one year, but you're very sure that you will grow, I think you should take a loan from someone in the family, you know, something that you can pay off easily. But if you can earn money through some skill that you know, nothing like it, if you can go to office, but then treat this as a side hustle, nothing like it. You know, like with you, because you are in so many diversified content, and the good thing is that very less influencers who can also ace in all those content. Exactly. Not everybody can do it. So how do a creator make sure? Because we are sometimes the feed is so, you know, scattered that it's very difficult to understand what this creator is trying to prove. So how do I feel that? Yeah, I feel you should make content around the thing you think of the most. So if you're thinking about funny thoughts, the most you ought to make should become a comedy creator. For me, it was initially was always fitness. I was always thinking about fitness. And as I grew up, you know, other thoughts came to my head. I started thinking about mental health. I started thinking about grooming. I started thinking about personal finance. So once those thoughts come into your then it's about exercising that muscle. That's why you have to read a lot if you're a creator, you have to absorb a lot of information. That's the I don't want to call it downside of this game, but that's the effort that you put in that's your training. And then when you're performing, it's all the information you've accumulated. So that's how you should look at it. You are a serial entrepreneur because you own multiple companies now. So how did the whole journey of entrepreneurship begin for you? I always wanted to do this. Like I look at myself always as a businessman first, then a YouTuber. And I've always had that intention because even YouTube started with an intention of starting some kind of startup. And I just figured that a startup can also be in the digital space. That's why let me start a YouTube channel. So it's always been that goal. And the goal has always been that once, and I feel like this should be the goal for anyone who wants to enter entrepreneurship or business, you should ask yourself first, what industry do I want to enter? Enter the base level, do something in that industry. I always knew I wanted to enter media. So that's how I entered media through the path of being a YouTuber. And once you understand what's happening, it's very easy to set up businesses because you understand, okay, I can help you. I can help you. I can create a team that can help you. I can create a team that can help you. So it's about entering the industry, working a little bit and then assembling a very, very good smart team. That's all I feel. So I mean, brands reach out to you because you have become a brand in yourself. So are there times that you feel that these things are not matching with my principles? Or what I follow? Do you, just because of money, do you sign up with those brands? Or do you try to draw a balance? Did you know how you would make sure that your principle is not getting sabotaged in between? So when you're doing YouTube, it's not, you know, you become famous and it's not like Bollywood famous. It's YouTube famous. That means that in Bollywood people will like you for your acting, for your dancing, for your action, for how you look. On YouTube, people like you for what is inside your brain, like you're taking out your opinions and putting it out. You're taking out your perspectives and putting it out.  In my case is that my family doesn't watch my YouTube, but all my audience watches this happening in my life. So if you ever talk about a brand that you yourself aren't going to use, your audience will catch that also. And it's something I maintain from Devan that I'll never promote any brand that I don't use in my own life. Because the long-term game is, yeah, it's like a 20-30 game. It's not a 3-4 game at all. Some people do look at it like a 3-4 game, but I look at it like a very, very long-term game. So I don't want to lose my audience's trust by just, you know, saying, okay, okay, give me 1 crore for this brand. I don't, I don't want it. You know, like it's fine. Like there are some things which are more important than money. And I feel all that long-term relationship you're building with your audience is way more important than money. I think that's a very important point you have made. And, you know, all the aspiring entrepreneurs and also influencers who are sitting on the feed, do remember what you're saying because that really makes a huge difference. Okay, another thing. I'm sure everybody wants to know this because a lot of people are really talking about your fitness and your biceps. So what is your fitness? Actually, lockdown has made me very, very, very fit. And that's mainly because I've stopped ordering as much from all those food delivery apps. You know, I think that was the main culprit in normal life because of coronavirus fears and all initially I stopped ordering and then later just became a habit. So I feel it's primarily about the food you put inside your body. At the same time, again, some kind of movement I do every day. So the least I'll do is I'll at least go for a walk in a garden or something, you know, like I'll do something. Or that's what I intend on doing right after this livestream. Actually, I'm going to go to a garden near my house, just walk around and do nothing else. But I feel that I do a lot of weight training even now. I actually ended up, so I have an office space near my house and I've set up a gym within that office. So I'm going in like I started working out again. And this is honestly the fittest I've ever been. I also do like a lot of yoga, at least twice. So we can end up doing some yoga stretches just to stretch out my body, which also changes the way you look a little bit. But it's mainly about just focusing on getting a protein. And so I'll have like two plant protein shakes, one big bowl of khichdi, lots of chole. Sometimes maybe twice the week I'll have tofu. I'm vegetarian completely. So no eggs also. And maybe only on Sundays, I'll have like one serving of paneer or something, you know, like an order.  So I want to eat butter paneer every Sunday. That's why every Sunday butter paneer. Yeah, it's from this place called Goyla. I think I'm losing you in between again, a little. No, go on, go on. I can hear you. Yeah, you were telling me where you order your butter paneer from. I ordered from this place called Goyla. It's owned by one of my friends called Saranj Goyla. And yeah, so he's got these two, three paneer dishes, which are like the best things I've had in my life. So honestly, even today, today is a Friday. I'm so close to the Sunday. The whole week I've eaten clean, but I'm just thinking about my Sunday lunch. So if you really want to achieve a certain level of fitness, you have to kind of treat your mind like that. You have to think of it as rewarding yourself.  But what is it? It is just steamed and sambar. So there's like nothing too intense about it. So Ranvi, now that you're sitting at home and creating content, what I'm sure there are so many ideas flowing in, right? And you have a team who helps you in work, who used to help you before. But how are you guys doing the whole team creation thing now? We've done, we set up remote work situations. So when the lockdown got announced, right before Modi actually made an announcement of a proper, proper lockdown, there was this phase where everyone was just sitting at home. So we figured that this is what might happen. There might be an official lockdown. We went to office, we took all our editing equipment, PCs, all that and got it delivered to all our main editors' houses. And then we also invested in remote working tools. Like how can we access each other's PCs from our own PCs? How can we easily upload onto drive storage system? Things like that. So we got good internet connections installed in everyone's houses and they're working nicely remotely. But honestly, it's like when you're creating a lot of videos, it's like playing in a band and the music gets created the best when you are together. So there is that whole level of, you know, we wish that we could do more. But it's all right, it's fine.  So moving a little from the seriousness to the fashion aspect, what are a few things every man should have in their wardrobe? Definitely, I feel focus on your shoes a lot. So white sneakers, I will definitely suggest. I would suggest black formal shoes. These two things should be there. One very simple pair of jeans, like just dark blue jeans, it'll go with anything.  If you just have these things, you can change up your looks. You can do all kinds of things. But then obviously, I feel that if you really want to take it to the next level, guys should start wearing more color, especially in Mumbai. Very, very few people focus on the fashion sense and all. Like when I go to places like Delhi, you know, you can see even the guys care about how they dress, but in Mumbai it's very less. It's not really that important how you dress. So I feel that more guys need to care about what they're putting on themselves before they're going out. And I do feel like lockdown is getting lifted soon. So we will start seeing people getting out of their houses now. But considering that lockdown is still there and we are part of our virtual event, so I'm going to ask you a few things and you have to tell me how they can dress for that particular thing. Why are videos, okay? Like for example, let's say a video interview that we are doing. Something like that. What should one wear? How do you dress for a video interview? You can wear whatever you want down there, like boxers, pajamas, whatever. But up here you've got to wear a shirt at least if it's a formal interview. Don't wear a T-shirt. That's what I'll suggest. It just gives out a certain vibe.  Are you wearing like a short store of pajama down? No, I wear a lot of atmosphere clothing. So basically this is the same. So I have like one bath on the day after my gym and I gym at night. So I'll wear, I'm just wearing the same pair of atlaser shorts because atlaser is very comfortable.  It's comfortable. Atlaser clothing is like what I recommend during lockdown, honestly. Okay, so video conferences. For video conferences? Again, I mean, okay. You know, if you want to make it casual, you buy something like this where there is a collar, but at the same time it's a T-shirt.  But if it's just your friends or something, then you can wear a T-shirt, you can wear a V-neck, you can wear anything, a ganji, whatever you want. And for virtual dates, like nowadays, people are doing a lot of virtual dates. In fact, Shadi Gautam, everything is virtually done. So for that, how would you like that? There's something called cardigans, which guys actually don't wear. And I wear a lot of cardigans. I've seen that, I don't know. I don't know. They choose my personality, but I also feel generally the ladies love guys in the garden. So at least like a very thin jacket or something. You know, something like that, just to look a little fresh. Talking about your podcast, you have also started the Ranveer show and people are loving it. You have had Pranka Chopra, Landach Kumar Rao, and a lot of other popular personalities from other fields of life. So, you know, podcasts have become a new trend and they're still adapting to it. So you are still among the starters who are launching into that, but your show is doing pretty well. So how did the whole concept of this come into your head? I've been watching podcasts since 2011 when I was an engineering college student and I gained a lot from podcasts. So I always knew that at some point they'll come in India and I knew that so podcasts, it's not as easy as just sitting with someone and talking. There's a skill required, which takes time to learn. So even if you watch some of our older podcasts, they're very bad. They're not good. Like, I have not done it well. But once I cracked the game and I saw that, okay, people respond to it, a lot of young people basically want to know the same things that you as a podcast interviewer are thinking.  Everyone will have the same four, five questions for him. So it's just about that, like tapping into what the audiences want. I just feel you've done that correct and that's what works for it. Also consistency, releasing a lot of quantity of content. We make sure that every week we'll release at least one. So that's important. All right. So now we will take some questions from the viewers here because there are a lot of people who totally love you.  We can have you answer their questions. Okay. So one of the question is, I want to start Fitness YouTube channel in Telugu language. It's by Mukesh Kumar. Any tips regarding it? Very good idea. Just start. There's very few regional niche channels. You'll make a lot of money through even online coaching. Online coaching can pay you up to even like, if you play a very hardworking smart game, you can earn up to 50 lakhs a month. And I'm not making that up. So there's a lot of money to be made. Definitely start. Oh god, 50 lakhs a month. Dude, I like really feel it's underpaid. I mean, it's one of those like you need to give all of yourself to it. So there are downsides also, but my point is there's a lot of money in the YouTube game, not just through brand deals. You, because of your fame, you can start coaching a lot of people. You can start mentoring people. So there are lots of ways to make money. It's not as, it's not just like brand deals. But then again, it's a lot of good. We have someone named Max who is asking that, how can I be an entrepreneur? First work in under an entrepreneur. That's what I'll suggest and see what life is like one on one. Understand how business works. Understand the downside of entrepreneurship. And then ask yourself, do you really want to enter that zone and do it? Okay. We cast wants to know that who will feature in your next podcast, Ranveer? Pratik Kuhar actually. We recorded one episode with Pratik Kuhar yesterday. And it was a very heavy episode, very nice. It's all about love relationships. And he's a very smart guy. So today's podcast features Riaz Amlani, who's like India's top restaurateur, your own smokehouse deli, social, all these places. And he's talking about how coronavirus affected that. Next week or the week after, we will have Pratik Kuhar. And I'm also trying to get Siva aunty from Indian matchmaking. So let's see. Oh my God. Can you sing? Is it that you sing as well and we don't know? No, no, I actually don't. I just have a very nice voice and that's it. I mean, that is right. Like people are actually saying that you, they're loving how you're talking and they're a person like my voice. I have read those comments. No, nothing like this is also podcast, Jogad. Like you have to figure out how to control your voice. And this is something I've been able to do over here. But the vibe of that. There's another person, Tanmay, who is asking, please suggest some protein, some good plant proteins. I will be, I'm actually making a few detailed videos on plant proteins. I'm going to hold back on that suggestion right now. But just when you're buying a plant protein, look for whether or not it's stevia sweetened. Stevia is a natural herbal sweetener. The issue with proteins usually are that they have a lot of additives, a lot of artificial sweeteners, which actually harm your health. So as long as something is free of an artificial sweetener, look for that. Okay, one of the person wants to know that if somebody already have a base of 100 subscribers on YouTube, so how do you increase subscribers more? You put out more content. You stay consistent with releasing. It's like as simple as that. And honestly, it's not as complicated as people make it, you know, Key, like, what should I do? How should I do? You just keep doing things and then you'll figure yourself. Another question we have is from VVK. He's saying this pandemic has changed our fashion sector. What type of content in fashion needs should we focus on? I actually don't because I also run a Hindi channel, which is mainly a fashion and grooming channel. And our fashion videos, they haven't been getting responses because I just think people have lost an interest in clothing. So it will reopen, you know, around Diwali and all that. But for now, try other forms of content. Talk about confidence and all that's also attached to fashion. So, you know, do fashion content once the lockdown is lifted. Atul wants to know, don't you think YouTube is saturated? I mean, it's how you look at it. When I had started out, also people had told me, why are you doing a fitness channel? It's saturated. There's already so much fitness out there. Like every guy in my gym that I used to go to, used to tell me that, no, why are you doing this?  But it's about who you want to listen to, what you want to believe. So honestly, if you really search within, you can find good original content to make that people will enjoy watching. So, Ranvi, you also focused a lot on self-improvement that we would, I just read someone talking about that as well. So when we talk about self-improvement, what are few elements that one needs to remember? Because you know, this is a time when we are feeling so low and gloomy. So how do you make sure to be like positive all the time? I feel self-improvement doesn't have to be difficult. It can be some very small, easy things that you can do.  It's just that everyone hasn't found that book that they enjoy reading. Should we find something you enjoy reading? You'll read it very fast. And I feel that self-improvement is the same thing. When you find an activity that you realize, wow, I'm enjoying it also and I'm growing in some way or the other, it'll come very naturally to you. And the lockdown, especially that's something you should look into. So for me, it's reading like particular kinds of books that are fueling my content and therefore I'm able to make more videos, all that kind of stuff. But just kind of get, only the first step is difficult. You know, it's not difficult after that. Just jump in and try different things. So there are a few people who want to do internship under your company Mark Entertainment. They're asking how can they get internship with you? You apply at careers at beerbiseps.com or careers at monkey.in, monk-e.in. Right, is there a hack how they can get in easily or what do you actually look in our talent before getting hired? Yeah, one or two fan pages of beerbiseps actually just created a lot of content themselves around the channel and we've hired them for internships because they already showed us that, okay, this is the kind of work I will do. Without waiting for us to give them they just impressed us with a slap in the face. So we had to hire them. So guys who also want to work with Ranbir, do you have any impressions? Do you want to create content and you never know you might get lucky? Okay. Yeah, something like that. Another question we have is, diet for beginners, it's too hard to increase diet initially. It's too hard to increase the numbers? No, I think what they mean to say that it's too difficult to get into the diet initially itself when you are at a bigger... Cut out one wrong thing at a time.  So tackle one thing at a time, even if it takes you one month to completely reduce your dessert intake. Just have like one bit of dessert on a Sunday and that's enough. Eventually then move on to cutting off Maida, Chakna, Maggie, things like that. I have a very interesting question for you. Karishma wants to know how to be friends with you. I don't have a social life, my social life unfortunately are my co-founders and that's pretty much it. So at this stage in my life I'm studying, but maybe when I'm over 30 years old and YouTube and all is done, we can be friends then. So at that time. So what kind of entrepreneur are you and what kind of creator are you? In terms of entrepreneurship, I'm almost never satisfied. I feel like no matter how much is done, there has to be something else to do. And in terms of being a creator, I feel it's much more about impact creation I see Zakir bhai here saying then we please guide us how to be sexy. So being a creator I'm inspired by kind of what Zakir bhai does where it's that whole neki kar daria mein fek. Just put out good content and it's fine whatever happens. So I would say that but as an entrepreneur I'm very hungry, I feel like I'm not even vegan properly, my entrepreneurial journey. So there's a lot left to do. Okay, so now that Zakir has also joined our life and he wants to actually know that how to be as sexy as you I think you totally have to decide to do that.  That's what I would suggest. I think if you just get into the habit of being better at conversation, people not just girls everyone guys, boys, everyone finds it attractive. So just make people around you feel comfortable talk to people that's what I suggest. Sir Anil who are your inspirations because we always take some of the other inspiration from people, who are you inspired from? Definitely Virat Kohli, Lebron James, Anil Schwarzenegger, I'd probably say these three names straight off the top. But yeah, Virat Kohli would probably be right at the top of that list. So as an entrepreneur, last question I'm going to ask you as an entrepreneur, what is next in your in your closet? And what is that one should wait for? That we don't know yet and you're going to come up with something? I'm trying to create a product which people can use. That's all I'll say right now. It's a digital product that will be in people's hands. So for example, right now, monk entertainment is more on the B2B side. It's more on the service side. But I'm trying to create something that's B2C. It's going to be virtual. It's going to be some kind of an app. So I'm trying to build that but let's see. It's like honestly what people don't see online is I've tried 10, 15 businesses and only beer biases in monk entertainment have worked. All the other ones have failed. So that's the truth of entrepreneurship that you fail a lot. So while I'm trying to work at this, let's see where it goes. You know, talking about the present time, we see there's a lot of negativity on social media and so much trolls out there. So how do you try to create the optimistic surrounding and make sure that you know, social media becomes a less of a hatred place. I personally have this thing of just continuously doing things, building things, writing content, creating content. So I keep my mind very busy. And what I always tell young creators is early on and this is something Tanmay told me when I had started out Tanmay but from AIP. He said that very early on you have to become a little tough towards it because it's going to, as you keep growing, it'll keep increasing. So honestly, that's my answer that just become tough with it. Like it's okay if it comes your way. Don't respond and keep yourself busy. You know, keep doing the next thing. You should be much more bothered about, okay, watch my next content piece or watch my next article. Then I read this 13-year-old boy from somewhere told me that like I'm not good. Or that doesn't make any sense. Okay, lastly, because people love you so much and you have over a million people who really listen to what you're saying. So one thing you would actually, a tip that you would give to everyone out there who are trying to make their bit. Start meditating. It's even more important than your fitness, especially in the times that we live in where there's so many mental health issues and you know, just negativity out there. Have a positive habit in your life like meditation. That's what I'll stress. Perfect. Thank you so much Ranveer for giving us your wonderful time. And I hope you enjoyed too. This was a lot of fun. We'll do this again sometime. Yeah, I think even last time the conference went well and now again having you here, I'm going to have you again in some of the other show for a panel. I'm sure. We'll do it. Did you have fun?  This was more of like, let's say relaxation moment for me. Exactly, same. I'm looking at it the same way. This is my only social life right now. You are a big part of my social life right now because otherwise I would need to talk to co-founders. So I enjoy it. I always enjoy talking to them. Wonderful. It's a good thing. You got a little bit chill out. Alright, thank you so much Ranveer. Bye bye. Have a great day. Bye. See you. See you. So guys that was Be a biceps Ranveer Alabadia and it was wonderful chatting with him. The man has told us everything. How you can create good content. How to actually create a following. What are the mistakes you make as a brand and a content creator and also why meditation is so important. So for more information, you can just tune into our website and also next Friday we're going to have another one with us who is going to talk about something very exciting. Stay tuned and know who is going to be on our next episode of Lighting Up. Till then have a great weekend. Bye bye. Take care.


And still on insecurity matters, gunmen have attacked a police station in Opanam, Ushimli North Local Government area of Delta State, killing three policemen who were said to be responding to a distress call by members of a local vigilante. Confirming the incident in a telephone conversation, police spokesperson in the state of Daffy Bright said that one of the attackers had been arrested, a big apartment, and investigation was ongoing to ensure the arrest of others. The leader of the vigilante in the area disclosed that three of the local vigilantes sustained injuries and are recuperating, but one of them was in a severe condition at the emergency ward of the Federal Medical Center. We're also using this opportunity to call on members of the public who has one or two information that can help us. Well, exactly. I don't actually know what happened because we shared ourselves. Some people are in the other side. We are in the other side with all these guys. Early this morning, one of my men called me, oh God, God, God, God, see what is happening, see what is happening. We are in Chessy Hospital. And I said, wow, I rushed them to Chessy Hospital. I see so many people lying down. One of them is fainting. And I took that one, put inside my car, drove down there. That is why we are treating the guys this morning.


In complex organisms, cells must work in harmony to produce a functional whole. Together, they form the tissues, organs, and signaling networks that make life possible. Ironically, one important aspect of this cooperation is cell death. Individual cells must sometimes die to benefit the overall organism. Most cell death research, however, has been conducted at the single cell level, focusing on the mechanisms through which cells die, other than the impact cells death has on surrounding tissues and systems. This special issue of cell death and differentiation highlights research that expands the study of cell death to include its functional consequences, such as its effects on tissue homeostasis, adaptive and pathological inflammatory and immune processes, and responses to antimicrobial and cancer treatments. The effects of a cell's death on surrounding tissue depend on how the cell died. Did it commit suicide by executing the organized program form of cell death called apoptosis? Or was it killed by uncontrolled external factors that led to necrosis and its unregulated digestion? Classically, apoptosis has been viewed as beneficial, a form of cell death that does not cause inflammation or activate the immune system. While necrosis has been viewed as the opposite, a harmful inflammatory process that damages nearby tissue and results in the buildup of decomposing debris. But more recent research has demonstrated how grossly oversimplified this view is. Some forms of cancer cell apoptosis trigger the immune system while necrosis fails to do so in certain contexts. Signaling factors are one of the most critical determinants of how surrounding cells and tissues respond to dead and dying cells. Damaged cells influence how their death will affect their surrounding environment by expressing or releasing what are known as cell death-associated molecular pattern molecules, or C-damps. These molecules provide other cells with instructions such as find me or keep away and eat me or don't eat me, which determine how a cell's remains will be cleared and how likely inflammatory and immune reactions are to follow. While dead cells can be seamlessly disposed of without any harmful consequences, insufficient or disrupted clearance of dead and dying cells is characteristic of autoimmune diseases and tumors. Thus, therapies aimed at correcting such deficiencies have the potential for considerable benefit. The problem is that these deficiencies can arise at any stage in the complex process of cell death. Execution of the death pathway, death-associated signaling by the distressed cell, recognition of those signals, clearance of the corpse, or execution of adaptive immune and inflammatory responses. Therefore, an even greater understanding of the process of cell death and its effects is needed. The studies collected in this special issue of cell death and differentiation contribute to this understanding by highlighting the importance of cell death for the health and function of neighboring tissues and the organism as a whole.


Max phases have been studied extensively as potential candidates for electromagnetic wave absorbing materials due to their high conductivity and nanolaminated structure. In this study, two new magnetic max phases were synthesized by replacing aluminum atoms with iron atoms in existing max phases. These max phases showed ferromagnetic behavior and demonstrated excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties. By combining both dielectric and magnetic loss, the authors were able to achieve a low reflection loss of minus 44.4 dB at 6.56 GHz with a 3 mm thickness. This work demonstrates a promising composition design strategy to develop max phases with good EM wave absorption performance through simultaneously controlling dielectric and magnetic loss.
