Thanks very much everybody. I think we'll start, are we okay to start Larkin and we're going to bang exactly on three. Yeah. So welcome everybody to this IIA event. I won't call it absolutely a webinar because of course we're delighted to be joined by people here in the room. So we've got people in person and we've got people online. So we've got a combination hybrid. So welcome to you, whether you're watching, viewing from your sitting room or your office or here in the room with us in Norquay Georgia Street. We're really, really delighted to be joined by a most distinguished guest speaker and Professor Michael O'Flaherty, who is, as you know, director of the EU fundamental rights agency and as I say we're pleased to have Michael here and thank you in advance for giving us your time this afternoon. And to speak to us for maybe about 20 or 25 minutes or so as you choose in around that time. And then we'll have an opportunity for some questions. I sometimes say questions or observations but it's, you know, it's, we like questions but we tolerate observations as well. And we'll do that once Michael has finished his introductory remarks.  Preferably tell us who you are and if you have an organization, you might just give us that designation just as we know. And if you're online, use the Q&A function on Zoom, which everybody's very familiar with at this stage. Again, telling us who you are and what your designation is if relevant or if appropriate if you have one. So you can send in questions if something might occur to you, even the first few minutes as Michael speaking please you can put the question in there particularly obviously if you're online. And those questions will build up and we'll get to them. The Q&A is on and the presentation are both on the record. We can use Twitter as well if you're that way inclined to handle this at IEEE and we'll be live we are live streaming this afternoon's discussion so welcome if you're joining from that particular on that particular platform as well. It's great to have you with us. Michael O'Flaherty is director of the EU agency for fundamental rights, as I've said, previously, many of us will have known Michael. He's an established professor of human rights law and director of the Irish Center for Human Rights at NUI Golad in the National University of Ireland in Galway. He has served as chief commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, a member of the UN Human Rights Committee, and head of a number of UN human rights field operations. I'd like to talk to us broadly speaking today on the topic, protecting human rights in the digital age, and there is so much happening and there are so many developments that it's almost overwhelming to try to keep a we just had a session at lunchtime on energy and retrofitting and that caused to touch on artificial intelligence and the impact that it's likely to have on the energy sector. I was at something yesterday morning in relation to the health sector and we can see the enormous advances and potential associated with artificial intelligence in the health sector, but all of them have associated with questions and risks for individual rights, human rights, and I know Michael will touch on some of those issues in his presentation, but without anticipating it any further and without telling you that he's going to say things that he's going to deal with things that he doesn't end up wanting to talk about. I will hand the floor to Michael. Thank you very much. Thank you very much indeed. I really appreciate the invitation. It's my second time physically to speak here in the third time if you include a virtual event during COVID, but it's always a great pleasure and I want to thank. I want to thank not only the IEA, I always feel like it's an elocution class when I do that. But thank you to the IEA, thank you to you who are here physically, and thanks to everybody who's with us online. And a good few years ago I was sitting on a hotel terrace, looking across the lawn. And as I sat there I became aware of a little machine going up and down the grass, cutting it. It was my first encounter with a robot lawnmower. And I watched it transfixed for a good half an hour. I might have began to feel sorry for it, that it was doing this job with no gratitude, no recognition, no encouragement. I had to restrain myself from going over to Pat it. But what I remember about that moment above all is a genuine sense of awe. It was my first encounter with robotic technology in any meaningful way. And I was deeply impressed. Now, much has moved on since that first encounter, but I never ceased to be in awe of AI and its potential for human thriving and well being. I was on the island of Lampedusa five days ago to get a better understanding of what was happening with this huge arrival of asylum seekers that's a live issue right now. The situation is dreadful. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. The Italian authorities and civil society were using tech to try and put some order on the chaos, and it was deeply impressive. The way AI driven technology was helping them to, to some extent cope with what is an impossible situation again AI for good, something I found awesome. But of course, given where I work at the EU fundamental rights agency, I'm no less aware of the risks that AI poses for us and for our societies and through the work of the agency. Let me illustrate just illustrate just give you examples of five contexts where AI can get it so badly wrong. The first is the well known one of discrimination. AI hoovers up every fact every datum in our world with all of the discriminations, the hatreds, the biases to be found in that in the data. And this is well known, nothing new to say it now, other than the extent to which the the beyond mistakes are biases in data. There's also the astonishing extent to which data is mistaken. We've researched this in our agency, for instance, looking at large scale data sites in the migration context, where the level of error is truly shocking. Really consequential stuff, like putting the age of an adult for a child with all of the consequences for the child of being registered as an adult. So it's about bias, it's about mistake. And it's also about something very specific to tech. And that is the the role of feedback loops and the extent to which feedback loops can can can can enlarge error and enlarge mistake over time and practice. We've looked at that in the context of online content moderation automated content moderation and we've seen how a piece of technology that begins benign and does its job relatively well can learn error and then expand the error with with some pretty remarkable consequences. Just to give you an example, we recently did research on online content moderate automated online content moderation where we developed algorithms and then tested language to see what would happen. By the again it's well known to everybody in lesser known languages it was a disaster but that's well known, but in English, we put in terms so we put in the term. I hate Jews, and the online tech did its job, it flagged this as problematic speech, exactly what was intended to do.  So again an example of a unique as something rather specific to the online sphere in terms of how error can multiply. So that's the first worrying area discrimination and all that's related. The second has to do with the fact of who dominates the tech world the private sector. There's nothing inherently wrong with the tech world, owning technology, but there's something inherently worrying when that isn't the context of something that is so profoundly impacting our lives. In a context where again we know through our research, what are the primary drivers for much of the private sector in this in the development and advancement of a technology which has such a huge impact for every single person here today. One important driver is efficiency. We again through research concluded that the that the most important motivation for investment in technology is to do things quicker and more efficiently. Again, nothing wrong with that. But if you think of what that could be at the expense of that, then we see a worry. Another driver no surprise is profit. And again that that can be of some worry in the context of the impact on our lives. And then a third driver, among a few others I suppose is the idea that the private owner of technology has of establishing some idiosyncratic world goal. And I don't need to give examples they're pretty replete right now. I like fentanyl tools reference this morning the Irish times to a certain man child who comes to mind when you think of the use of tech to follow a very personal vision of what the world should look like. So the second concern, the role of the private sector. The third, the third concern is the exact converse. And that's the extent to which I enhances the power of the state. And again, not inherently problematic, at least if you're not in a state that is, that does not respect democracy. But again, I don't need to give examples. It's perfectly obvious how tech in the wrong state hands can be a tool for repression and oppression. One of the five concerns I would like to just illustrate my worries with is the somewhat more apocalyptic one of the transfer or the outsourcing of decision making to artificial intelligence. I want to give very many examples here but again the obvious one is well rehearsed it's not unfamiliar is autonomous weapon systems, which of course should can does and should strike fear into the heart of anybody who's concerned about the well being of our world. One of the myths of these illustrative examples of why we should be worried. It's something a little bit harder to pin down it's broad, but it's the erosion that we've come to understand over time, the erosion through the application of AI of our social society, the degradation of the human community. And in the sense that so often today, and far more likely in the future, we're dealing with a machine, not with the person. So often, what is presented to us as our preference has been decided by a machine, not a person certainly not by me, and so on and the same time psychologists and others are speaking of the risk to mental health of this this phenomenon of the automation of life. So the concerns such as these inevitably lead us very quickly to the question of how we tame technology. We all accept that we need to tame this awesome power that has been developed. What should that look like so that the technology is in the service of human well being. There are a few frames of reference for how we begin a discussion of how we tame tech, but two of the most prominent are through the invocation of the language of ethics on the one hand, and the language of human rights on the other. Now it's very good that this is the starting point for most look at the islands AI strategy and it indeed locates the reflection on the future of AI, in the context of the application of ethics and respect for human rights. This is all very welcome. There are some concerns in there. And those of us who work in human rights have been taken aback, maybe not taken aback but disappointed by the extent to which the ethical discourse has until now and I would argue still dominates as if somehow the ethics and the rights approaches were contesting and we must and we must fight our corner so that we dominate and to some extent ethics has been the more successful. I don't have time to go into why again just very briefly. I just want to help but think that ethics is an inherently subjective area where my sense of right and good does not have to be the same as your sense of right and good, and therefore, using ethics to frame the taming of technology allows us a tool which can be which can be sent in certain directions to achieve certain outcomes. This is not to diminish the importance of ethics. It's more to understand why it has dominated as the discourse. Turning to the other frame of reference human rights. Here, we see something rather more rather different, a far more if I may put it like this, a far more sturdy infrastructure on which to base standards and practice. I'll give you some examples of that in just a second, but my concern, as you'd imagine, somebody working for an agency of fundamental rights is to ensure that that human rights frame is put at the center not to displace ethics. There's not a competition but put at the center to help us figure out an appropriate and useful way forward. When we do that what we're actually seeking to do is to take the rhetorical reference to human rights that you will find in almost every strategy on human rights that you can read to take the rhetoric of human rights and turn it into a reality. What would that look like in practice.  Allow me just a brief word on human rights more generally. We celebrate the 75th anniversary this year of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The best effort by humanity, coming out of the horrors of the Second World War to define the minimum standards for a society where we could thrive and mutually respect each other. The Universal Declaration has been repeatedly reaffirmed universally. This year we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of something called the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, which was a solemn rededication of every country on earth to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what it stands for. This is the reality of an instrument that was not just stated to be universal from the outset, but was of course universally negotiated mirrors from from complex global negotiations that affected the different world ways of thinking. It's a very subtle and sophisticated system that has derived from the Universal Declaration and all the treaties that followed, notwithstanding popular misconceptions. It's rarely about absolutes. It's actually pretty pretty insightful in the way it allows rights to be limited in the interest of the public good. We saw that for sometimes for good and sometimes maybe a bit too enthusiastically in the context of COVID, but that period neatly illustrates the extent to which the human rights system accommodates extraordinary crisis and issues and the, and in the public good it allows for the restriction of rights so it's a subtle system. It's very well supported, it could be better but it's well supported nationally and internationally by courts and oversight systems. The Universal Declaration is incorporated into domestic law of many countries around the world, therefore national courts uphold it through various systems since then the European Union and others. The Universal Declaration is relied on is invoked these rights play an important part in the Irish courts, and of course internationally. We have the European Court of Human Rights we have the, to some extent you could describe as a human rights court the International Criminal Court, and we have the myriad monitoring bodies of the different organizations. In this system these human rights standards, which is immediately relevant in the context of AI, and to use the phrase that's often invoked in the UN human rights apply as much online as offline. So there's no jurisdictional dispute about its application in this context, and very importantly, as I said earlier it's binding on states, unlike ethics, it's not a voluntary take it or leave it buffet I'll take that I'll leave that. And it has as its goal and this is its beauty and its power. It has its goal human well being article one of the Universal Declaration describes human rights as being about delivering for that all people are free and equal in dignity and in rights. So there's this astonishing sometimes described as humanity's modernity's greatest achievement this astonishing achievement of our societies. And the question arises of why it has been so peripheral to the discussion about the restraining the taming of artificial intelligence. There are many reasons for this. I've alluded to some already, but one that's very important and has preoccupied my agency for the last seven years, maybe eight has been that we have failed to show in concrete Grilled down manners, how the human rights standards and systems apply in the AI context. We've been great on the rhetoric. We have not been so good on the drilled down. This is what it would look like in practice. And so drawing on drawing on a work of my agency. I'd like to leave you today briefly, I hope, with seven elements of what the drilled down look would be like in the specific context of the now of AI. And by that I'm referring to this regulation building moment, we're in the law writing moment for artificial intelligence. It's very exciting. If we get it right. It's crucial that we get it right. But we could get it wrong. And when I talk about the law building moment. I'm referring in particular to the development in the EU of the AI regulation, the AI act. Which is still a draft is still a process incomplete. And the less developed but ongoing process at the Council of Europe of the development of an international treaty on artificial intelligence. So what are the, what are seven of the things, the key things that the drafters of all such laws must keep in mind. I suggest those to you. The first is that we have to make sure that our laws are comprehensive that we develop loophole free regulation. What would that look like in practice. Well in the first place it means we've got to get a broad definition of AI. We can so reduce the definition that we skip out on loads of practical applications. And the risk that we would narrowly defined to exclude such things as the databases on our borders, because they're very basic AI, and they could be missed. If we go for an over sophisticated definition. We have to make sure that our regulations equally apply to the private and public sectors. Again a given you might say, but there is in some context some pressure that to exclude the private sector so lock in regulation on the state, but leave a liberality for the private sector. When we lock in the private sector we have to lock in all of the private sector. Again in current discussions in some places, there's an argument that we should only do heavy regulation of big tech. But the analogy that I use is housing building regulations wouldn't it be a funny world where little houses didn't have to comply with regulations but big houses did. I mean it's just the roof is likely to fall on you in a little as in a big house. Another another another concern has to be that we ensure that all of the impacts on human right on human well being that we can identify as somehow captured by the regulation. This converted into human rights terms. This means that regulation must embrace standing up for all of your human rights, not just certain of your rights. Most of the discussion until now has been protecting your privacy rights. And this is completely normal because it's all about data. And the first thing that comes to mind is privacy, with regard to our data. So yes, we need a focus on privacy becomes so much more. Look for example at where the scandals have emerged in recent years around AI. I think of the social welfare scandal in the Netherlands a couple of years ago, where thousands of people were ordered to recoup large sums of money to the state that they were allegedly erroneously paid. And it was, and the bias was massively against people from ethnic minorities. And the whole thing was based on an erroneous application of an algorithm. So again, every aspect of our life can be engaged. So that was in broad terms and quite a lot of elements, the need to have loophole free regulation. The second thing that's essential, if we're to meaningfully protect our human rights in tech law is that it that this law provide for human rights compatibility testing for high risk applications. It's imperative that where an application is of high risk for human well being that it be tested so that we can understand what the risk is and manage it. Now there's two very important considerations here. One is with the with the explosion of general application AI. We're reminded that testing of AI must be use case based. We're not enough to test the app the day it leaves the factory, regardless of how it's used. We have got to test it in the use context, because only there will we see the risk to human well being. The second dimension and again we know this from our research is that and because of this phenomenon of feedback loops and the manner in which mistakes can multiply and grow over time in the application of technology testing needs to be repeated. Get into your use context, test once and assume all will be well forever. The science has now emerged to show that that is not guaranteed. The third dimension of effective oversight has to do with the need for effective regulation, excuse me, has to do with the need for strong oversight. Again, it might seem obvious, but it's very important that attention being paid to ensuring that the systems in place to oversee the regulation are adequate to the job. They need to have the skills they need to have the resources. If they're protecting human rights, we need human rights specialists working within those systems, not just privacy people but all human rights. We also, we also need oversight at scale for the scope of the challenge. I get a sense as I travel around Europe that it hasn't dawned yet on the designers of systems, quite how broad and demanding will be the oversight that that will have to be put in place. The fourth of my seven is with regard to a fundamental principle of human rights that every violation should come with a remedy. And so therefore we need to make sure whether in the regulations we designed to tame AI are in separate legislation, which is the EU model right now, that we ensure that there is a pathway to a remedy for somebody who's, whose, whose, whose human dignity has been violated by an application of the technology. And then the fifth, which could have been my first and could have been my last, because it's so absolutely central to the delivery of all of the other dimensions is ensuring transparency. The, it is vital for proper oversight, a proper monitoring of technology that there is transparency as to the contents of the technology only then can there be effective oversight. Now, as you can imagine, this demand for transparency is met with a lot of resistance. Give you two examples. One is, it's just not possible. We don't know how the tech reaches that good outcome. Don't touch it. I've heard that many times. I've heard that at a medical conference that's from a doctor, a research, researching medical doctor who made more or less exactly the remark I've just made. And we would argue that that's just not good enough. We recognize that there may be huge complexity in terms of effective delivery of transparency, but at a minimum, in the context of tech where we don't know how it works. What on earth is to discover this to stop us demanding that you the designer of the tech that you describe what you do that you tell us how you've tested your technology that you show us what data you've entered into your technology. We're already a long way at that point towards what we need for oversight. The second, even less convincing argument about transparency is, it's a secret, we can't tell you. And I'm not referring here to commercial secrets. I'm referring, for example, to national security secrets. And again here, it's really it's a false argument, because in many other sectors over generations, we have found ways to put in effective oversight of highly sensitive context in a manner that does not compromise secrecy does not compromise confidentiality. I think, for example, of the way in which we have designed judicial oversight of national security systems. And so by analogy, we have plenty of examples to counter that objection. The six of my seven considerations is with regard to the need for continuous dialogue. Dialogue is not just a good. It's a necessity. As we continue to work our way forward in this whole new world. We need everybody on board to figure out the right way to go. And so in the design of the regulations in the rollout of the regulations and the application of them in their future amendment. It must be all on the basis of a rich living dialogue across all of the relevant stakeholders. There are many of them. But let me today focus on civil society. By the way, as a general observation, I've yet to find a single human rights innovation that didn't begin with civil society, but more narrowly coming back to the AI context again. We would be lost today if it wasn't for the shout outs and the, the warnings and the advocacy of civil society so far. It's an astonishing job in educating us all, including people like me as to the scale of risk and the need for high attention. And so involving civil society for its advocacy function, but also its expertise is critical. There are many other civil society actors, but let me just mention one cluster that I think is neglected. That is the cluster of national human rights authorities in the jargon we say national human rights institutions here in Ireland, that would refer to the Irish human rights and equality commission. But these bodies everywhere need to be involved as well. They are the centers of human rights expertise, unique centers of human rights expertise in our societies, they have to be also part of the conversation. And just before I move off this point. And again, I've had much personal experience of this, and that is that dialogue can be very difficult. Quite simply, we often all speak different languages, and we don't understand each other. I learned this in a different context years ago trying to talk to economists they didn't understand me and I didn't understand them. But I think it's even more challenging in the context of technology. Why should a tech engineer be expected to understand my human rights language? Why should I be expected to understand his or hers, but we have to try. At least we have to find a common vocabulary in which to engage with each other. The seventh and the final of my considerations is not about something we must do, but something we must challenge. And that is that we have to challenge the very frequently invoked argument after somebody like me gives a talk like the one I've just given. Oh great fine and well, but that's going to stifle innovation.  Well, you know, that's easily said but I challenge the proof of it. We're not convinced at all. We are able to ensure attention to human rights while still deeply respecting the need for innovation in our societies in our in our in our business world wherever else it is. And here are some of the ways we can do it. One is the way we are currently developing regulation in Europe using a risk pyramid model to cut it to get to express it very briefly. The pyramid has the most risky stuff at the very top band, then a very big band area range of high risk applications, which are subject to quite tight regulation and proposed to be subject to quite tight regulation, and then a vast space at the bottom of the pyramid with the pyramid with benign AI applications, the famous talking fridge sort of stuff, which, which nobody can find huge risk in and and which would be subject to a very minimal human rights oversight. A second dimension of how we can make sure that innovation is not unduly restrained is by doing sandboxing of the interplay of AI and human rights, never compromising human rights they shouldn't be in play they shouldn't be in negotiation. But just seeing how you can actually do the fixes. And I very much welcome that the current Spanish President presidency of the European Union is heavily promoting the concept of of ethical or normative sandbox exercises. But again, as I say, such exercises while very welcome must never be at the expense of the standards the standards are not in negotiation. And by the way I would say also as my final argument to those who raised the innovation argument is well you might want to think of the trust argument, because there's no doubt and I've yet to see anybody convincingly push back against the view that a strongly human rights respected AI that is ultimately targeted to human thriving is going to be the most trustworthy AI trusted by consumers by citizens by everybody in our societies. And I'd be firmly of the view that in the long game. It's the trustworthy AI that will ultimately win out. So friends, I before you put your questions or your observations I'd much prefer observations are easier. But before you do that. I'm sure some of you here are online think that I'm naive and unrealistic, and I accept that I could. I could indeed look like that and sound like that but I feel that I have no choice. The game is just too serious. AI is profoundly impactful for human thriving. And there is no better shared pathway for to respect humanity than is human rights are to put it let me finish up by putting it another way. I was in Brussels not so long ago and I did a bit of free time and I went to the Museum of Fine Arts. I wanted to revisit one of my favorite pictures in the world. It's Peter Broigles, Daedalus and Icarus. Some of you might know it. It's, it's, it's a tiny picture it's not much bigger than the one up there of the Bank of Ireland. And it, it, it's famous for the fact that it's full of shepherds shepherding their sheep. Fisher pulling the fish out of the sea. People plowing the land. And there's a turquoise sea in the background. And it's only after you study it for ages that you see these two little legs dangling where somebody has just plunged into the water. The first time I saw it I laughed out loud. I thought it was so funny. You know, it took ages for me to find Icarus poor Icarus landed in the sea and and and and and you know would drown. But I thought of it for today's purpose, for a different reason, which is why Icarus fell into the sea.  And in a, in, in great acts of hubris and self confidence, Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax melted, and he plunged into the sea and drowned. And it occurs to me, the why did Icarus, why did this all happen to Icarus it wasn't just hubris, but he had the wrong flight plan. And, and, and that brings me back to AI, because I would have suggested if we if we substitute for Icarus AI, and we give it the flight plan of human rights. And then I believe that AI indeed can soar up to the sun and can bring all of us with it. Thank you.


We have 14 present. Alderman Jim Bourne is excused. Alderman Kevin Maddachek is unexcused. Would you join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Welcome on this snowy snowy night to the committee of the whole meeting. I would ask for a motion to approve the minutes of our last meeting. It has been moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? Mary Nunn, all in favor, state aye. Any opposed? Chair votes, aye. Do we have anyone listed for the public forum? No. Very good. We're going to go on then to item 2.1, a review and discussion on the conceptual redevelopment plan for the former Boston store property. Mr. Palaszczuk is ready with his PowerPoint and his plugs. Okay, just a second here. So what I wanted to talk about tonight is the conceptual plan for the Boston store property and we've worked in this for the last few months in-house. As you know, we're moving forward with demolition in the coming weeks and we wanted to lay out a conceptual plan for that development phase moving forward. So what I wanted to do today is go through a PowerPoint presentation over the thoughts behind it. You've maybe read some about this in the news. There's a little bit more information here and then take any questions that you may have at the end. So as we all know the site was identified in the Harbor Center master plan that was adopted in April of this year as a prime site for implementing the three key strategies that came out of that plan. In this drawing, you can kind of see its coordination to the Art Center, the Meade Library, the Well Center, above and beyond Children's Museum and the Fulton Park. In the plan, this is somewhat of a review, but in the plan it laid out three key strategies. The first strategy was leverage Sheboygan's arts culture and food heritage. The second one was encourage market supported housing and urban development and the third is to enhance connections and cross marketing within the Harbor Center district. So starting with the leveraging of the Sheboygan arts culture and food heritage, this site is a pivotal point essential to the formation of that district and that concept. The space will allow for cultural events in the heart of the downtown. You may have seen in the news this such as the weekly concert series where we partnered up with the Art Center to go after a grant to bring concert series to this property in the summer. Provided demolition gets done in a timely time fashion. This would move forward on the property and then it could be used for other venues. The site would provide a physical link between our downtown assets as you saw in the previous slide. The mic, some of those of you may not be aware, but that spaceship looking thing on the corner of the Art Center property is actually called a musically integrated kiosk environment and it's a recording studio that opens up to become a stage. So the intent is in discussions with the Art Center is to move that stage over to green space on the Boston Star property, work through an agreement with them to be able to allow it to be used for more community events and really encourage the use of that area as kind of an arts venue, music and those types of things that would happen. You can see on the picture on the bottom of this, this is what that stage looks like when it's opened. The Art Center has a stage that goes out in the front that allows for larger venues to happen on it and when it's closed up, it can be used as a recording studio. We've heard a lot of questions about what will happen with Fountain Park under this plan. Fountain Park will continue to function as it is. Today it will continue to have the events and concerts and festivals that occur there, such as the Shabuigan Pops Band, they'll continue to play there, the municipal, Keele Municipal Band, some of the larger venues that wouldn't be able to necessarily occupy this space and use this stage would still continue there. Earth Fest, Lobster Boil, all of those types of things. But under this plan, the arts culture and food district group, if you will, the committee that's been meeting for a number of months and it's really been initiated out of the business improvement district, is to look at other festivals within the city and see if there's some smaller venues that could relocate to Fountain Park to try to bring a weekly around-the-clock ambience to this downtown and bring more venues for entertainment because as we're trying to build more housing downtown, people are going to want more things to do. Under number two, key strategy number two, encouraging market-supported development. The thought on this property, it's not what has been in the newspaper that this property is going to be a mix of green space and new development to bring tax space that was lost as part of the Boston store back. There's the idea of some type of mix concept development and under the plan, it leaves the opportunity for two mixed-use buildings to be built. One of them is roughly 30, one footprint would be 32,000 square feet. The other footprint would be 19,000 square feet and it would allow it to go three to five stories above. So there's a base on the height of the buildings downtown. It would be kind of creating this town center plaza, if you will, with development around the outside and green space in the inside. Under number three, leveraging the connections and the cross-marketing. You can see from this map that opening up New York Avenue, which is planned to happen next year and reconstructing a parking lot for those of you that have been involved at the Transit Commission, discussions have heard this. We're in the final stages of getting that ready to be bid out and that would connect New York Avenue between 8th and 7th Street and then also to create this connection piece, if you will, between the middle of the department store and really kind of encouraging this pedestrian link between the library and the art center. So this is the proposed plan. I want to just say that under the proposed plan this is what we're going to use for marketing to interested developers. Really what it is is the green area in the middle would be used for this public space and you can see the two footprints for the buildings on the north and the south side with the square footage listed there. MIKE is at mic stage that would hopefully be relocated to this property and then on A Street we'll be opening back up as part of the New York Avenue reconstruction is to expand A Street back out to the right-of-way where it had bumped in for the Boston Store property and bring in some additional angled parking along the street and then some type of mid-block pedestrian crossing there to connect to the front of the library at that fountain and then the area to the south you can see would be the New York Avenue extension and the public parking lot on the south side of that is owned by the Redevelopment Authority. That's part of the redesign project. That is to move it to reserved parking because there's enough of a need downtown for monthly reserved parking and that lot has to be reconstructed as part of this whole plan especially with the Boston Store because that was all one piece of property from the cell side of Boston, one parking lot from the cell side of Boston store down to Center Avenue. So this is where this is what we're using as a marketing plan now. We've developed and I'll hand this out at the end. We've developed a two-page plan of what I basically just spoke to you about and we've gotten this out to at least a handful if not more of interested parties to date. A couple of them are working on some site plans and I would think going forward here after the new year we should be seeing some conceptual plans from prospective developers on those development pieces that are outlined here. But what we thought we wanted to do is we wanted to lay out a concept beforehand, get the buy in basically from the council and from the city staff that this is the direction we want to go because the first question had a developer normally says to us when they come to us is what is the city's vision for this property? And if we didn't have something laid out we felt that we would be behind. So we've done worked with us. We've worked with the bid. We've worked with the downtown people to lay out this kind of Conceptual drawing. I will say that with a caveat. This is conceptual in its state. The final development plan with the development will ultimately show us what this is going to look like. But the intent of this green space and this kind of corridor, the idea is that the parking utility would maintain this property. We would work through a number of venues and build really a calendar as green space for this to have, the goal would be to have fairly often throughout the night, throughout the week during the summer have venues on there. For those of you that go to the mid-summer festival of the arts at the John Michael Kohler Art Center, they typically have closed down 6th Street and New York Avenue for that venue. It looks like this year they're going to try to shift it over and start using this kind of like plaza for that venue. So I think this is just some of the stuff that's in the works. We're also working on a public art grant that will be submitting with a number of partners in the downtown to try to go after some couple-year funding streams to be able to kind of implement some of these ideas that have been brought forward in the plan on the public art side of things. So this is in a nutshell where we're at. I'm happy to answer any questions. I just wrote a letter to the editor if you hadn't seen it. I would encourage you to do so, the talking about where we've been and why the interest has been on taking, getting this property and local control and trying to move this plan forward. Any questions for Chad Alderman Mellinger? Thank you, Madam Chair. Chad, on A Street the drawing shows that it's still bumped out the sidewalk. Is that going to be that or is it going to be put back to the original? No, there will be a bump out there. There will be a mid-center, mid-block crosswalk. And the purpose of that is what? Is to encourage people to flow from this property into that fountain in that concrete plaza in the front of the Mead Public Library. They won't be as large as what's shown on this drawing. Dave Bebel has a, they have a standard that they use for bump outs and it's kind of blown up on this, but it'll be whatever is required under their standard, but the intent is to have a mid-block crosswalk there. And my second question would be if the developer came and wanted to use up more of the green space than what you've got shown there.  I think we're flexible. That's why I said that this is really a concept plan at this stage and whatever they ultimately need to make their development happen, we would work with them on that. But we, at any stage, want to have some type of green space in the middle. Other questions? Just to note we, the meeting is being recorded, so if you'd use your microphone when you're speaking, that would be helpful. Anything else for Chad? Very good. Okay, thank you. We'll move on to item 3.1, a report of the committee from Salary and Grievances regarding recommending Section 2-341 of the municipal code that James Amodio is here by appointed Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Sheboygan until August 23rd, 2016, which may require a memo of understanding that will include all the necessary timeframes. We had both the report of the committee and the ordinance come before us, so I believe that we can bring a motion to file this matter. It was my understanding. Motion to file. Alderman Van Akron. Madam Chairperson, I think the ordinance was the only thing on the last, in the council meeting, it was the ordinance specifically, so I think we're going to have to pass this along with... All right. The only difference between the ordinance that we passed in the council meeting and this document which came out of Salary and Grievances was a desire to build in some timelines in the event that Mr. Amodio would decide to leave prior to 2016. As it stands now, we have an ordinance that just sets out the term of the contract. So we are looking at a separate document that would be just a memo, a memorandum of understanding. The committee had looked at some months notice or some weeks notice if Mr. Amodio was going to leave just to facilitate our looking for an additional Chief Administrative Officer. Does that make sense? Yes. And also just for clarification, that document would come back to Salaries and Grievances for review prior to being accepted. Correct. So it would be just something that we would work on as a separate agreement. All right. With that in mind, Alderman Ben Akron. Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I guess then I'll make a motion that the RC be accepted and adopted and that the memo of understanding being drawn up and be brought back. Oh, that's right. We saw the motion. So you had a motion to file, correct? I had a motion. All right. Are you agreeable to revising or rescinding your motion? Yes. And the second? Very good. So now we have another motion on the floor and a second to adopt the to adopt the report of committee. Is there any discussion? All right. Hearing none. Dad, what did you do? So committee of the whole is going technological. So we're going to be hopefully doing electronic voting tonight. The motion is to adopt item 3.1. I'm sorry. Alderman Ballinger. Madam Chair, when I clicked on to join or when I opened up this document on board docs, it never asked me to join the meeting. Try it again. Go back and do it again. Go back and do it again. Okay. Yeah. I was slightly ahead of my time. So what do we say they have to do? We'll log in to your board. Just do a voice vote. All right. We're going to do a voice vote on this matter on the motion before us. All in favor, state aye. Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. I'm sorry. Nay. Nay. Chair votes aye. 13 ayes, 1 dissent. We will move on to item 3.2 from the city clerk submitting a communication from older person born suggesting the attached revision of the chief administrative officer's job description to be considered by the salary and grievances committee. And that's Alderman Carlson. Thank you, Madam Chair. I would move to send this back to salaries and grievances. There is a motion and a second to send this back to salary and grievance. Is there a discussion on the motion? Alderman Herman. I am of the belief that we should keep the status. We'll keep 16 older people because if we have. We're just, Mark, we're on 3.1. Yeah, we're on 3.2. 3.2. I'm sorry, 3.2. All right. Is there any other discussion on the motion? So this is a motion to refer the job description back to salary and grievance. If there's no further discussion. All right. All in favor, state aye. Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. Motion passes. Now we need a vote. They're just hazing me because like I'm kind of new at this job. So what can we do? The gremlins and the gremlins. All right. We will move on to item number 3.3. This is a charter ordinance proposed by Alderpersons, Born and Cough, subject to the home rule provisions of section 66.0101 of the Wisconsin statute to reduce the number of Alderpersons in the city from 16 to 8. Alderman Carlson. Thank you, Madam Chair. I would move that we send this to strategic fiscal planning. There's a motion to refer this to strategic fiscal planning. Is there a second? Second. There is a second. So discussion on the motion. Well, actually Alderman Cough. Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm curious as to why we would send it back there and not have the discussion tonight. Alderman Carlson. I think the venue for this discussion, this is a pretty big change. And then there's things that we, I don't think as a full body, we can discuss in the beginning. We need to talk about committee structure. We need just to talk about the overall structure of how the council is going to look. And I think that would start better at a smaller level. And therefore strategic fiscal planning, it's the heads of all the, it's all the chairpersons of the standing committee. So I think that's the best venue to start this discussion. And then bring it back when there's actually a solid plan to do this. Thank you. Other comments? Did you hit again? Yes. Go ahead. And then when would the strategic fiscal planning meet? I would have to defer to the chairperson. We could schedule a meeting as soon as we can get the heads of the standing committees. We have some other issues that we have to deal with in strategic fiscal. So we were planning on sometime in the month of December having that meeting. Other discussion? Alderman Herman. I remember the belief that we should keep the status quo, keep the 16, because there's always a backup or reinforcement, let's say a constituent has an urgent matter and their first choice is not available for whatever reason. Let's say all the person A has an extended illness or they have to take a spatical for another reason. There's always a backup or reinforcement. There's another person they can get a hold of if their first choice is not available if you don't have two per district and that alternative is not available. I think there's strength in numbers in this particular case. Very good. Any other comments? Alderman Van Akker. Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I guess I'd like to see it discussed tonight. I think it's good to have everybody involved, have everybody had the same information. I do think that there's a pretty fairly detailed plan that has been laid out. Agree with it or disagree with it, but I think this is the place to discuss this type of a change. We've discussed this type of a change in the past at this venue. And again, I think it's good that everybody be on the same page and get the same information and be operating off of that. So I think we should discuss it tonight here. And like I said, start that process now. Alderman Hammond. Again, the discussion is on the motion to refer. I think there's some challenges. And just for the record, I'm not opposed to reducing the size of the council. I just think that although the structure of how we're going to get there has been ferreted out or at least proposed as part of the document, there's been no discussion of the logistics about how we're going to, which committees, how we're going to do committee structure, how the standing committees are going to look, which committees are we going to give department heads more authority to do the things that we won't have enough bodies to do. When is it going to happen? With redistricting, how that's going to happen? All of these types of things really haven't been discussed. And yes, we could do it in this venue. But I think that having a lot of those challenges figured out at a smaller committee level, bringing it back to the committee as a whole, where we actually have the logistics worked out, makes a little more sense to me at first blush. Alderman Bellinger. Thank you, Madam Chairman. I first brought this up a couple of years ago, and it's relatively the same idea in the same procedure that I brought up. And at that time, there were some logistical issues that Alderman Hammond just mentioned, specifically the committee structure. And the sentiment and a thought of the council at that point in time was that the people on the council certainly didn't want to be involved in more meetings as a result of reducing the size of the council. There was also, you know, after that time, there was the redistricting that was done, and there was the idea put forth that the city should follow the same districts that the county has for their city districts. And that would be 10 instead of 8. And, you know, that should be something that should be looked at too. So, you know, for those reasons and the broad scope of those reasons and the detailed discussion that would be needed to be had on each one of those, I would be for submitting this to strategic fiscal planning as well. And having something come out of that, and I would certainly attend that meeting. I've got an interest in this. Originally, I brought this up, and I would like to see it reduced somewhat. I'm not sure I'm in favor of 8 for a variety of reasons, but I would certainly share those at strategic fiscal planning. Alderman Coss. Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. I would be okay having this sent to strategic fiscal planning because my co-author is not at this meeting, and that would make sense also. Any other discussion, questions, comments? If not, we will vote on the motion to which is to refer this to strategic fiscal planning. All right. And we will do a roll call on this vote. It popped up though. What popped up? I just voted. I just voted. It popped up, but not to refer to committee. Which is a big deal. Are you voting or not? I'd move it to committee, not what this is. On the bottom? Sorry, I didn't read the fine print. On your screen, you have a motion to refer this to strategic fiscal planning, correct? And has everyone voted? And we have 14 ayes on that motion. Thank you. All right. We will move on to item number 3.4. General ordinance proposed by Alderman Koth, reestablishing the salary schedule for the office of Alderperson Commencing Council year 2017-2018. Alderman Koth? Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. I move to also send a strategic fiscal planning. Second. Right. So we have a motion to refer this matter to strategic fiscal planning. Is there a discussion? Alderman Carlson. Thank you, Madam Chair. I personally don't think we need to send this to strategic fiscal planning. I was actually going to make a motion to file. I don't think there's any justification to raise our salary. I would actually go the opposite and try to lower our salary. And I will be submitting a competing document at some point. But there's absolutely no need to, more than double our salary. I think we just need to end this now. Thank you. Alderman Koth. Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate your opinion, but I believe that would be a healthy discussion at the strategic fiscal planning committee. Any other comments? Hearing none, seeing none. We'll vote on the motion to refer this matter to strategic fiscal planning. All in favor, state aye. Aye. Any opposed? Aye. One of Alderman Carlson votes nay. Chair votes aye. Motion passes. Well, very good. We are, the next meeting date will be determined, and I would ask for a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. On favor. Aye. Very good. Thank you.


narcissist into your life, but it's simply Narcissist don't come into your life To share anything with you They're not really thinking about how they can improve your life in any way. That's nothing to do with that We are takers and when they target you They're looking at Whether it's Qualities and abilities Nice house Nice car Maybe you're very intelligent If you know the right people We've got a good job Whatever it is. There's always something Attracts these people If you haven't got anything to share with them They're not going to want anything to do with you and sometimes you might have something But it just doesn't Narcissist could be a cerebral narcissist is more concerned with intelligence and Maybe that's not your strong points Maybe you're more of a physically attractive person and maybe that doesn't appeal to That certain Same goes for They're more concerned with physical appearance your body Maybe you're not so concerned about that Superficial things Just aren't important to you. So although you may have something It may not appeal to that type of narcissist Regardless of that Trust and believe the reason why The narcissist came into your life It's usually whatever They're demanding from you They will usually make it known You may be given it to them in the beginning After a while you might realize Then you will hold back and then they're gonna try and pressure you They're going to try to intimidate you giving it to them and That's when it should be quickly revealed to you exactly why they came into your life Then there could also be Although the race usually Is These narcissists they don't come into your life to share anything with you Of course, they'd like you to think that They want you to think That they're trying to help you And that you're somehow In a difficult place Where everyone thinks you need help so they come out along to save you When it's just not true I've never really heard of a narcissist helping anyone because even though it may seem That Narcissists they might rise All the nicest things Brand new car Their kids and private school But it means nothing because Just look at the emotional And psychological damage they do to them It's greatly outweighs any of that. You're better off Having your emotional and psychological health Rather than whatever superficial thing Narcissists might provide you but of course Many of us do learn that the hard way And we don't figure it out. It's too late You can't put a price On your emotional and psychological health just that feeling of Peace of course every aspect of just that feeling of Peace You feel at rest Narcissists are so crazy It's because they don't know about it They never feel at peace with themselves They never feel at rest And that's another reason why They think you're like Because they were looking for that Stability Which you were able to provide to them You were their emotional punching bag Their emotional tampon Used you to carry their emotional baggage The reason why the Narcissists came into your life But when you know this It's so much easier to just let them go Because you can identify that They never really loved you They cared about you They never took the time to even know who you are They were only focused on superficial things They never took the time to get to know you on a deeper level So by the end of it It's like you never had anything anyway Because they were never connected to you All they were concerned with Is these superficial qualities that you possessed Which they end up hating And resenting and be end anyway It's a really beautiful beach here I'll have to come down And go for a swim in the sea here one day Such a beautiful day as well The sand is out The sand is so white here The sea looks so clean The chickens walking around I've got a lot busier here Bars are opening more now There's a lot more people there I'm so about to haul again There's the sea Two things opening up again If you could join in Another Mark Survivor live video Here at Aoyuan Beach In Phuket Highlands Give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed Leave your thoughts in the comment section I'll be doing a good comment And there will be more live videos very soon So click that subscribe button And the bell icon So you will receive the notifications Talk to you in another one soon


So the topic that I'm going to present today is creating a usable UJS Component Library. And a quick introduction about myself. I'm Dibram Rasaghi. I'm a senior application engineer at Flock and I've got six years of front-end development experience. So the problem statement that I, the problem that I faced was that most organizations they have a design language of their own, that they have some primary, secondary colors and some components that have a very distinctive look and feel. So what happens is that like you tend to have like components like these. So you've got form elements, you've got buttons and so on. So this is a very, just one page from our style guide. And the thing is that like we tend to have, like we tend to have duplicate code when it comes to like writing components across apps, across dashboards. So the problem with multiple dashboards and web applications is that they end up like looking alike for an organization. But at the same time, we tend to copy paste those components like for example some, like I used to do that too. And what we would do is we just copy some component from one repo and then paste it into another. So the problem with that is that like say you bought three repos and you copy paste it the same component into those three repositories. And then you suddenly realize that there is a bug in one of those, in all three of those repositories. And when you fix that bug, you get to fix that everywhere. You get to fix it, push the code on all three repositories. And then what happens is that like you're basically doing a lot more. So this is an excerpt from an article I wrote about like why I built a component library. And I wanted to point out the highlighted portion. This was the most highlighted portion on medium.com from that article. It says that there was a need for all two components to be consistent with the theme and colors of the application. Having pre-built components which adhere to the design theme would make development much faster and definitely more fun. So that is the reason I built a component library for Flock and using Vue.js. So what do you say to duplicate code? Every time you think that, okay, I'm going to copy this code and paste it into another repository. What should you say? Not today. This is definitely what you should say. So is it hard to create your own library like using Vue, using Vue CLI? Well, without Vue CLI, it's actually a little bit harder meaning that you'll have to configure your build process using webpack or rollup or whatever you want to use. And then you'll have to like manage a lot of things on your own. So without the Vue CLI, it is a bit hard. But with Vue CLI, it's not as hard. So that is what I wanted to talk to you about today. So where do we start about like building? How do we start building these components and this component library that we keep talking about? We start by writing our components and where do we start writing those components? It's in a project that we create using Vue CLI. So is that it? Well, let's just see. So step one is to create your components and there are like, there are some concerns while creating your own components, right? Like you need to make sure that you're making them extensible. But at the same time, you don't want to over engineer them, like you don't want to over engineer for cases that you might never encounter, right? So make them extensible. So that if you want to change them later, it should not be as hard. And preferably write unit tests because in case like you're unknowingly breaking a core feature of your component, then that unit test should tell you what you're, that you're breaking something. So like there is a tool called Storybook and you could explore that as well. Storybook enables you to run your, it runs alongside your development environment and then you can basically use Storybook to build standalone components, like aside from your whole development process. And accessibility. So there is a web AIM accessibility checklist that you want to make sure that your components work for people who are visually challenged as well. So this is a checklist and there's a link here. You could check that out. So this is an example of a link component. And I know I've been talking about accessibility and this component is definitely not accessible right now. And it's just a simple SFC, a simple view SFC and this is just a very basic example. So the step two is to export your files through an entry point. This is a very important step because this is where the view CLI will know that these are the components that you're going to be exporting. And so basically what you could do is you could have an index.js in your source and export all components using the snippet that like is visible here. And step three is basically setting up your library build process. You could just change your NPM build script to view CLI service build and give it a target as lib. Basically this is the view CLI to build a component library in lib mode, to build it in the lib mode. And you get to give it a name as well. And ask an entry point. So this is the same entry point that we talked about here. And the output will look something like this. So we're going to talk about the common JS module here and that's what I'm going to show you in an example as well. So the step four is that you have to package your stuff, right? Like you have to tell how view JS will find how when you're using your library, how the user will find that particular file. Okay. So what you need to do is you need to add an attribute files to your package or JSON, which is an array of strings. And these files are the ones that will get exported when you publish your package to either NPM or yarn. So you also add, I have to add your name to the library, like the name field of package.json because that is where that is what will be visible on the NPM repository. So the entry point is like main, the build, the bundle that you built here because we're going to talk about common JS here.  So how do you publish your library? Well, you have to like, you would preferably write a script to publish your library like a shell script, a simple shell script that basically does the following. You have to publish it in public mode so that like everyone you want can use the library. And this command will publish your library to NPM. But first you'll have to definitely create a user on NPM. You could do that using NPM add user or if you already have an NPM account, you could do NPM login into the terminal and then publish this. So you could actually integrate this whole thing into a build process as well on a build machine, like on a build process like Go CD perhaps. And then all of this gets automated. So how do you use your library? All you need to do is just install it from NPM like NPM AI and save as a dependency and the name of your library. So install it as usual and use the component as you normally use a view company. So, but there are limitations when it comes to like new CLI right now. On-demand loading is not currently supported when it comes to the common JS bundle. And, but this can be overcome by using something called Lerna. Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. What you'll be doing basically when you use Lerna is you'll be publishing your link component as a separate library itself, as a separate component itself. And if you have a custom select as well, then you'll be publishing it as another component. And then you'll get to use it like the usual way. So semantic versioning, let's talk about semantic versioning.  And that's how you like end up with semantic versioning. If you're making minor changes, just bump up the second decimal or the third decimal. Another limitation is that assets like SVGs, they have to be in line with your, into your view components because like currently view CLI does not support that. Support getting images from your folders. So these are some tools, Lerna and Storybook. You can build monorepals using Lerna. And using Storybook, you can build your components independently and test them out. So any questions and answers now? All right. All right. When you say web and the mobile, do you mean a mobile application or do you mean the mobile web? Mobile application. You want to use it on the mobile app. So it should ideally work the same way as you're using it on the web because the view ecosystem allows that. You can have your property talking about web views as you, like when you're building a mobile app, are you talking about web views or are you talking about native web apps? Native web apps. Okay, native web apps. I'm not entirely sure about the native web apps at this point, so I don't think I'll need to answer that. Okay, no problem. Our solutions for creating libraries are difficult. Are difficult. Is there some other that picked up your interest or some that you would definitely not recommend for those who are wondering to choose other options? You mentioned that there are other solutions that we could use to create our library. And other than Vue CLI, are there solutions that you tried yourself and were more or less satisfied with or some that you would definitely not recommend based on your experience? Okay, so if you have a really small and private and well-component website that's not exceed 30K, this is it. Then I would want it to, I would directly use Vue CLI for that. But if we have a library of components that is huge in number, for example, if we're building something like my legal design component and your organization has that two states, then you could use Learner to build mono-reports. So what Learner does is it publishes all components with their own versions onto India. So that you could automate that and that would solve that use this as well. Does that answer your question? Like with Vue CLI, can we like have like single component library and use it for multiple projects? Is it like plug-in and like? Exactly, exactly. That is what a library can be used for. That is the main use. But we cannot use it on a scale or a component with a large size of components, which you said. If you have many, many components, then the common JS bundle will become big and that could reduce your workload time. So ideally that is not advised if you have a lot of components. But if you have a very few number of components, like for my case, my maximum library size has been around like in GZ. So I was fine with that. Be hiding. Have you worked with nested libraries of any kind? Like you have built components in a library and then you compose them onto a upper level component and then automated the build process so that everything gets updated. That's fairly simple. Like if you have, you could even have nested components. So if you, I'll add a link to the repository that I built. We have a moral component that is using composition to from another generic moral component and using composition to make that component. And it is in the library as a component. So both of them, generic model and model, they're both components and they can be used from the library itself. So yeah, it is possible. Okay, we can take one more question. So as you said, like we can have small components and we can, if they are smaller in numbers, like 10, 15, 20, but what if like 10 to 15 components we have, they are big, not small components like Barton, you said this short. If they're like bigger in size, not just small components. So usually base components are small in size in my experience. But if you have bigger components, you could like learnize for you, learn up in a lot of things. So if you check that out, learnize is a really good tool. I recently discovered it, like when we were reviewing the presentation. So like when he told me about that and that's how I came to know about it, yeah. Learnize good. So experience from, based on experience from the existing libraries, which one picked your interest the most? Which one made you most impressed if we are talking about the build process, the custom build process created specifically for those libraries? There aren't a lot of libraries for you. For Vue.js, there have been a few libraries now in since 2019, but so I haven't actually had a look at a lot of libraries, but I've used some, like I've used material design for you. So and there is a library built by Chris Fritz. He had published it on GitHub and that was a really good starting point for me. I really learned a lot by looking at his code.


What is going on guys welcome back to channel critical over here since I'm about Jeepers Creepers reborn in this video here against a Jeepers Creepers 4 and talking about the idea of them exploring how long the monster has actually had its Truck since we know the truck will be making a comeback after its previous comeback in The third one after being absent in the sequel So we know that the first time we see the creeper truck is in that original film where dairy and treasurer driving home For spring break and then the creeper behind them and you know the honking and the road rage and then you know the stalking them Praying on them because they went into the house of pain yada yada yada yop And it was just a typical Truck but it wasn't that typical in the sense that it was clearly an older model I think that model is from the 30s, but it's doing things. It shouldn't be able to do It's going relatively it's going very fast So we don't really know fully what he's done to it in that regard but clearly there's been some modifications done to make a truck like that move that fast and You know, I know this the comical question surrounding it. How does it get gas? How does it register its car? Well, I believe the creeper of course is not a registered owner on our on our roads So it's illegally operating Florida roads It is it is a it is a driver who should not be driving. It's an uninsured driver It's probably the reason why in that universe probably everyone's car insurance is very high You know how many car accidents that thing has been in but the truck itself how long it's actually been around I don't really know if they'll explore that but if they were what if they took it in a direction that Gives us a flashback sequence related to the creeper Stealing it from someone one of the previous victims and this is just a memento of that victim similar to how with dairy it seems to have made a Weapon out of his out of a piece of his skin that contained his tattoo Like one of the throwing stars we saw in gibberish creepers, too maybe this truck is a is a much bigger memento in In reverence to or in reference to one of his other victims who owned the truck and of course He's made some modifications to it throughout the years. It's not registered anymore Obviously that license plate be eating you is not from the original owner This is something the creeper has made himself So I know I've seen people say well where did he get that license plate from a lot of this stuff I would say was handmade by him. We've seen that this thing is very is it is very good with their hands It's hands. It's got like a craftsmanship to it. It's very artistic. So, you know making your own license plate custom license plate I'm not gonna take that away from you I'm sure you can do that too since you have this again Like I think it's a 30s based truck the model year I think it's from the 30s somewhere around there. You have this truck that shouldn't be going this fast achieving speeds that are really amazing. So I Think if they were to explore the truck and how the creeper got the truck and how long it's actually been in its possession That's something. I know maybe a lot of you would want to see some people also would probably want to know Okay Well, where was the truck in between the events of two and four three again? That's but that's between one and two. So with its absence in two I think a lot of people would like to know why was it absent where was it between the last 20 years I think I've done a video talking about how maybe Taggart found it at some point and he brought it to its farm and he's been keeping it there But then again, how did he find it? Where did the creeper put it? Why did the creeper put it there? Does it always do this only in respect to trying to keep the truck hidden So no one else can find it because in the cathedral script the truck was actually impounded I believe and then the creeper is actually reborn and it ends up stealing its truck from those that were driving it driving it and It kills a few officers inside of it or something like that. I believe and Again going back to just them exploring the truck in itself and how long it's had it If the creeper has had this truck indeed since the 1930s 40s 50s Would they be able to explain and give us a narrative that is very compelling in the sense that You know while you might not want to necessarily see how he got the truck when you find out how he got it It's a sequence that will just be stuck in your head now I know I'm using talking points with the thought in mind that this is Jonathan breaking the world I honestly am I'm also considering that they have a better a better budget I'm considering that this is being backed by a big studio So what I'm imagining in my head would probably be end up being better from another a different studio Then what we would get if we were to be done by these people and what they're about to give us Because at this point I'm back at at that standpoint or the mindset of not having any faith and us getting a movie that's of Good quality, maybe something that's at least serviceable and something we could say yep You're better than three, but you're still you're still trash You're still a step down. Sure. You're right behind two now, but not by much.  I just think that's what we're gonna get Um, I think I think the strongest aspect of this movie will be John Revengement I can't wait to see his treat his creeper truck scenes and see what he brings to the character That's it. That's even if this movie gets released. I'm considering doing the video to talk about it because I have my Doubts on why this movie will not be released. So if it isn't released and more Details come out as to why this movie is just being, you know, shelved and delayed left and right I'm gonna do a video talking about some more things that are related to dirt on this on this project at this time And those involved with the project and why it's probably not getting Handled the way we all would like it to be handled But with the truck Being present in the fourth one the truck and jaru benjamin as the creeper I think are going to be the strongest aspects of the movie at this point In relation to just seeing the creeper drive his truck Seeing that explosion sequence and seeing how that effect is done on screen and how it comes off Um, learning how long the creeper has had its truck would be nice and diving into a little bit more of its experience with it The modifications is done to it over the years I know it has like these bars booby traps. I wouldn't go into all that if it if it's there It's there, but don't really go into all that stuff ignore that it exists We know it exists, but I don't want to see that because it came off pretty comical in the third one So let's not open up that wound again Exploring how you got it exploring How it manages to do some of the things it has managed to do with it such as how fast it's going is nice If they want to take it a step further and show us where he got gas at one point That could be a little bit of a comp comedic relief moment in the movie showing us the creeper getting gas I don't think it's mostly how are you getting gas more so as much as how are you paying for it and continuing to pay for it Uh, or do you have a plug that just supplies you with the gas? But we'll see if we dive into the lore of this truck any further How long do you guys think he's had the truck? Would you like to see the origins of their relationship explored in the movie? Let me know all that down in the comment section below if you haven't already, of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post occasion never miss a video in the description I have links for social media accounts on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there of course So let me know if there's any movies or reviews you let me to cover in the future with all that in my guys I will see you in the next video


Yo Zendu Zendu Nets from all around the world Good morning. We're not having any extremely exciting morning. Today, we're working on our computers. She's getting after it. Yo Dan, what you working on? What you working on, dawg? I'm answering comments, dawg. You better believe that we answer every single one of these comments, right? Because, you know why? You know why? Because we love you. That's right, we freaking love you guys. So we just brought on the ZenGiri intern. Mr. Steven Williams is me coming on board to help us make this community more badass. So what I'm most comfortable about today is we are going to record this workout that we used to do in Austin, Texas. You see, back in the day, Dan and myself met each other because we happen to live in the same apartment building in Austin, Texas. That was like a suck! What did you say, Dan?  And I was like, why are you being so mean?  No, because seriously, we met each other and then, you know, we've kind of always just kept in contact. Even after I left and I started living in Medellin, Columbia, and eventually we got to this point, we're like, yo, ZenU Fitness needs to be a thing. Anyhow, all that to say is that when we met each other, we used to put all these workouts on the roof of our apartment building. It was like a combination of body weight exercises, a little bit of yoga, and then meditation at the end. What inspired us really to make ZenU Fitness is seeing how well that went, how much people loved it, and that gave us a confidence to be like, hey, maybe we should make YouTube videos and one thing led to another. So today, we are shooting another, we are gonna shoot a two dudes workout probably on the roof and it's gonna be epic and it's gonna be probably 30 to 40 minutes long and we're gonna upload it in the same day that you're watching this video right here. So it's probably, it's on YouTube right now. Actually, if you know what, let me link it to you top right hand corner screen. You're part of the vlog, you're one of the main characters now. Cause you married me. This is really gorgeous. I know this is a lot of us sitting in the office today, so maybe it's exciting for you, maybe not, but Dan and I were just talking about how to get better at video editing because Dan, how long have you been editing video for? Like a year and a half? A year and a half, and I've been editing video for like five months now. We got a lot to learn, brother. We're big time rookies. What's the saying? Bull by the horns? The bull by the horns. Yeah, yeah man. Yeah man. Yeah man. No, but we're rookies with video, but we love doing it and so we're getting better day by day. And I was like, yo Dan, how do you try to make your vlogs better every time? And Dan, what you saying man? What do you do every vlog? I add one new thing, whether it's like a simple transition or a new effect that I haven't used on the editing software that we have. I just add one more new thing every day so I'm pushing myself every single day to learn something new so that when I go to create a bigger video, I have all these skills in my repertoire. How does that apply to fitness? Well, every time that you do a workout, you should be trying to push yourself a little harder. Like if you've done three rounds on the workouts, you're gonna take the four rounds next time or you're gonna take the five rounds.  All right, that's it for now. Oh, so we meet again, Prue Water. Prue Water. Prue Water. All right, I know I said I was gonna work out and I'm going to, it's the next thing I'm doing but first, I just got done editing this video and I wanted to stop and make sure that you got a moment to check it out. It's like the most real thing I feel like I've actually expressed regarding the topic of fitness on the YouTube channel. So I'm really pumped on it and I hope you guys like it too. If you do, share it with a friend, let us know. I'll let you boy one time.  This excitement is real, dude.  We have a perfect white wall backdrop. So we're up on the second floor of this pool. Brandon's apartment. I'm so out of breath. I'm so excited. It's like this place right here was built for what we're doing right now. What's going on out there? What's going on out there?  Look at this view. This is on the real.  It looks like God's peeking through the clouds and saying hi, Zandu. Yo, bro, how did we get back down here? And what happened to the workout? So what happened was we went up there, but all the batteries was dead. So we was like, we should probably go eat first. When we ate, we showed you the food. Then we came back up here. We was like, bro, we got to go before five because the lady's leaving.  That's where we are right now. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Best record of the first ever two dudes workout that's up on YouTube. Again, at the end of this video, that's gonna be the suggested video for you to go check out. We also shared it earlier.  And going forward, you guys, we found a really good rhythm with these vlogs. So what's gonna happen is we're gonna release these in the evening, and we're gonna release the workouts in the morning. So every morning, you have your workout there, knock it out, earn the vlog later in the day, and then check us out and check in with us later in the day and watch us as a short little TV episode.

Hello, I'm Jim Bendell and I'm pleased to be able to offer some comments to mark the publication of my first book on deep adaptation Which is available in French and is being published in France By a publisher whose name I won't try and say in French, but I love the translation into English They're called the bonds that free us So I'd like to thank the translator Elise Roy as well as the team at the publisher also Pablo Savignet Who encouraged me to collaborate to make this happen? He also writes the foreword and also, I'd like to thank the Volunteers at the deep adaptation group in France including Julien who have been helping Coordinate some outreach about the book So what I'm going to do is just offer about five minutes of reflections To help put the book in context The book is a compilation of writings for people who are already open to the idea That the collapse of our way of life within an industrial consumer society is now either Likely or inevitable or already occurring And I think the book is suitable for a French audience because since 2015 when Pablo Savignet and Raphael Stevens published their book on what they called Collapsology the Discussion the level of dialogue in France is more advanced than in many other countries Particularly the countries that I know about because they're English-speaking Both in France and around the world We are hearing from people who are critical of those of us who are having these conversations and In response, I would suggest one way of Talking to them would be to show them this graph which just came out from a member of the Breakthrough Institute Which shows simplified emissions pathways for climate targets Now this is based on intergovernmental panel for climate change data and analysis But it removes the suggestion that we can roll out carbon capture Technologies which would strip carbon direct air capture from the atmosphere and You see here that how much carbon emissions and how rapidly they have increased over the last 20 years and the red line there shows that if we wanted to achieve a 50% chance only a 50% chance of staying under two degrees We would need over the next 20 years to reduce our carbon emissions as Rapidly as we have been increasing them over the previous 20 years so that is That's like that's not like slamming on the brakes of a car heading towards a wall That's actually slamming it into reverse and immediately going at the same speed in the opposite direction And we should recognize here that our carbon emissions prior to 2020 have been Increasing in terms of the rate of increase in fact one scientist has suggested that it looks like an exponential curve of carbon emissions so We all know that if you do that with a car that just damages the engine and isn't actually possible with the current technologies to just suddenly slam a car into reverse like that and There is obviously a lot of inertia in our hydrocarbon society so What's happening when people criticize those of us who want to talk about preparing for collapse Whether in the collapse ology field or in the deep adaptation field or other fields They're telling us that we have the burden of proof on us To say that the red line is not the future path for our carbon emissions Let alone the safer lines there really we should be aiming for at least the green line and I believe that the burden of proof really should be on them to show us against all evidence how we're going to go down any of these simplified emission pathways to reach these climate targets and I think they can't prove that this is happening or will happen because it's not been happening and therefore It's almost like these conversations at the intergovernmental level and within the scientific community on climate change are Trying to maintain credible myths about what is possible in order to take us away from actually staring the trouble directly ahead of us Adaptation radical is the most effective French translation of the term deep adaptation Which I introduced with a paper by that name in 2018 which has now been downloaded around a million times So this is my first book to follow that up and it does include an Updated version of that 2018 paper, but that's the sum of the climate science in the book Insta and and I don't go into more discussion of the various mechanisms of societal collapse instead the book really focuses on the people who already have this outlook and really wanting to Engage kindly wisely and creatively in what to do about it both in their individual lives But also in the community and also through the political process And so it's a compilation of writings that I shared over the last two years To support people who are using the deep adaptation framework for their own lives and their own work over the last couple of years I've been Humbled and inspired by so many people from around the world who have engaged creatively with this Anticipation of societal collapse people are doing amazing things many of which I could not have imagined people bringing meditation and mindfulness practices into schools people Working together on community gardening people deciding that they will give up their freedom to peacefully protest Against governments on climate inaction Scientists who are giving up their old career in order to look at new things such as designing Mirrors that will float in the Arctic Ocean to try and replace the albedo effect people Who are learning about how to hold online death cafes so that people can share Their very difficult painful emotions around the predicament we find ourselves in it's There's such a great diversity and I know that this is a field where people Many people will have quite strong opinions and some of the things I've just mentioned they'll be confused or annoyed at but for me It's all welcome if it's with an open mind open heart because nobody has the the answers We've never been in this kind of situation before as a species and some of that Creativity some of that collaboration is happening within a place called the deep adaptation forum Which is an online community for people to connect with each other to learn from each other and to try and create resources That will be helpful to what basically when there's a much wider mass awakening and people start to engage more widely and that forum has over a hundred volunteers now and Engages at least 15,000 people on its platforms And so I do recommend you do check out deep adaptation info if you haven't already in my experience People engaging in deep adaptation Do not equate societal collapse With the extinction of the human race. They're two quite different ways of understanding our situation My understanding is that people do not become apathetic So many people have allowed this information to transform their lives to Prioritize truth and love in their lives and become very socially engaged in ways that they hadn't before and Also, I'm noticing that many people do not respond in an individualistic way About just simply trying to protect themselves and their loved ones people have soon realized That that is so limited and that we need to act collectively together in order to try to reduce harm reduce suffering and Give ourselves a better chance In the face of this calamity. I have seen how important it is for us to provide space for each other To express our difficult emotions about our predicament the emotions of fear anxiety loss sadness grief and also anger But to hold space in a way where we do not act from those emotions nor seek To escape those emotions Because as we all feel more vulnerable We could be more easily manipulated with a simp someone simple story of safety or blame But neither will help and instead if we can Support each other to neither act from or be averse to these difficult emotions and instead keep fully present to what the situation Is and keep open to new ideas and learning from each other and unlearning with each other about what Honours to we do next Then I think we'll see much more interesting Ideas emerge and initiatives emerge and for me that is what has been happening both in Collapsology and in the deep adaptation field over the last couple of years Like me many people have been on a journey of inquiry into why we caused this mess and when I say we I'm talking about modern humans and that inquiry Reveals how we have othered and oppressed each other Humans often because they just don't look like us or sound like us and also other than oppressed wider life itself and So many people are arriving at a deeper commitment to uncovering mechanisms of oppression and therefore more people are prioritizing racial justice and healing and As part of their work on deep adaptation many people are prioritizing work on gender justice and healing as part of their response To deep adaptation and many more people are thinking about economic justice and healing as part of a comprehensive response to our Climate predicament and I think that's really important because it is in quite distinct from how some people are Responding or probably will respond when they feel vulnerable because of growing climate chaos and related societal pressures Many people will tell us that the situation means that we just need to do what's necessary And that will come at it from a very fear-based place not actually looking at how So much of our society is built on that fear place fear-based place of separation and othering and oppression so thank you for listening, thank you for reading the book and Please consider joining the deep adaptation Francophone group which you can connect to on Facebook and I'll put the link to that and any other relevant groups in French For example the collapsology groups in the video notes for this video. Thank you
