What is self-attention in transformer neural networks? Self-attention in transformers is a mechanism used to better understand the context of words. Context of a word in a sentence depends on the words that come before it and the words that come after it. With self-attention, we compare the words of a sentence to the words of the same sentence. When comparing, we create this attention matrix, and for every word this matrix will determine which words to pay attention to. The transformer encoder is essentially a self-attention unit. Say we take input word vectors, pass it through the trained attention unit, and get output word vectors. The output word vectors will be more context aware and hence better than the input word vectors.


Good afternoon and welcome to the weekly market update with me David Madden Today's date is Monday the 21st of September 2020 and the time has just gone 1229 BST British summertime and it's been a fairly negative start to the European training session. There's quite a few negative stories going on here Essentially says carrying on from last week continue concerns about rising cases of coronavirus particularly in Europe localised lockdowns chatter and speculation of a London lockdown although The talk that is doing the rounds Seems to think that if you do have a lockdown in London, it won't be as severe as a lockdown that was imposed The restrictions won't be as severe as those imposed in March But nonetheless, that's hitting hitting stocks across the board Also, there's a story in relation to a number of big-name banks European banks HSBC Standard Chartered listed in London, of course and we've also and also Deutsche Bank in the mix as well in relation to appearing on a list of US Treasury Department's Banks which have had which have lodged and record and registered suspicious transactions. It just really kind of adds additional Bearer sentiment to the markets the likes of HSBC are there's a fairly big component of the first few hundred And it seemed to be a stock who's kind of managed over the years to largely Stay out of the negative news of the banking sector of the last decade or 15 years So this is can really kind of is this is really hit that stock pretty hard So but the kind of why you can the wider view is that the chatter of a London lockdown has hit the foot two hundred quite hard But also it's kind of these it's ribbed a lot effect Around Europe has been quite big as well. So we're seeing a broad sell-off across the board Some sectors would be hit more than others should there be into the lockdown imposed in London So the hospitality sector has been quite hit as has the travel sector We're also seeing it's a broad sell-off in all all oil and gas companies mining companies banks I mentioned about the HSBC Standard Charter story and also a house bill or so everything across the board is taking a pretty bad knock So what I'm gonna quickly move on to now is the week head article and for those of you who tune into my Videos and weekly basis, you know that I run through the week ahead Which can be found on a website seems to your markets calm under insight under latest news and analysis so Today we had full your figures out from Superdry Tomorrow we will have first half numbers out from King Fisher. Tomorrow. We'll have first quarter numbers out from Nike On Wednesday, we'll have the flat with the flash manufacturing We've been manufacturing service PMI numbers from Germany of France and the UK But we're also gonna have as well is on Thursday We're gonna have full your numbers from Smith's Groups and first half numbers from Cineworld on Thursday We also have the German IFO numbers coming out with an EU summit on Thursday as we do every single Thursday We have US jobless claims that'll give us a taste of what's going on with the US labor market particularly in light of some of the economic indicators in the US would suggest that they kind of the The economy the the recovery may be tapering off a bit and finally on Thursday Darden restaurants have Q1 results out So as always I'll run through some of the big indices Go on to some currency pairs and then on to commodities So starting off with the first 200 and the first 200 are the kind of big European and US indices has been the weakest of the bunch The recovery that I had from the March into into June didn't get anywhere near of the highs that were achieved Pre-pandemic and we can see here being a kind of nice series of lower lows and lower highs since June So classic example of a downward trend lower lows and lower highs if I caught aggressive sell-off in today's session here So if we do move any lower We could be looking at retesting the lows of the month head down towards a 57 67 and a break below that could take us down towards this zone here down around 5660 any moves the upside on the on the first 200 are likely to run into resistance in this zone here 6,000 big psychological number And we're currently trading, you know nearly 200 points away from that And if you do head north of 6,000 keep an eye out for this zone here We're by both the blue line the 50 moving average and the yellow line the water day moving average Both those metrics can effectively kind of coincide with each other. So a fair bit of resistance there You know, we had the lower low in early September the lower high in mid September and the move turned lower again So we really would need to take out this area here The highs are kind of mid-September before we could kind of begin to think and try kind of shake off the wider bearish trend of the last few months I'll take a look what's going on over in Germany on the DAX The German market was in better shape. Notice how there is much better recovery and rally from late March Into all into early September. In fact, the the highs that were achieved in September were the highest level seen since The beginning of the pandemic so multi-month highs were achieved in September So we chose the DAX is in pretty good shape But we can see here at the last few sessions the market really struggled to gain ground last week to try to move higher But if I'm an aggressive move lower today, we were well below this blue line here They fit at a moving average notice how that metric acted nicely as support on a few occasions But now recently enough granted it did trade a bit below it But on those occasions it always managed to close above it, but now are firmly below so the sentiment as Turned sharply lower turned sharply sour if you do continue to push lower from here We could be like heading back down towards the lows of early August down around 12,515 and if you go below that we can then head potentially down towards this red line here The two-nity moving average and that comes to play at 12,189 notice how that red line acted nicely as support back and late July So it could be of importance again. If we do move on up higher from here We could be like you heading back up towards 13,000 we're currently around 12,680 and if you go beyond that we really need to be kind of taking off these the highs achieved here in the Kind of big kind of middle of September, you know, I'm going to say at 13,339 313,300 and then if you go beyond that we can even like retest the highs of early September Which of course were multi-month highs Take a look now. It's going on the Dow Jones Similar to the DAX has had a great recovery between late March and into into early September Multi-month highs were achieved in September. So the market's fairly decent shape But since then we've had the lower low a lower high and another lower low So sentiments turning over on itself We can see here at the when cash trading gets underway We're expecting the Dow Jones to open up around 27,183 so so the lows of today's future session We suggest we can be heading back down towards levels last seen in early August If you do press a lower from here, we could be like you heading down towards 27,000, you know Big psychological number and if you go below that we can then head that down toward this red line here The 20 moving average which comes into play at 26,287 and if you go below that you could be heading down towards this is area here 26,000 Any moves at the upside could occur resistance or from this blue line the fifthly moving average We can see that acting nicely in a few occasions a support in the last few months So could act at resistance in the future and the fifth of a moving average on the Dow comes into play at 27,550 and if you go beyond that we could be looking heading towards 28,000 Taking a look what's going on with the S&P 500 S&P 500 at the beginning of the month was at all time highs So I'll give you an idea how strong the rally has been in the S&P 500 in comparison with the Dow Jones Which is only a multi-month highs But since then like the Dow Jones, we've had the lower low. We've had the lower high and then we have another lower low Um, we could so it's just clear that we're kind of pressing lower on the S&P 500 If you take a look at the MACD histogram the MACD indicator We can see that after markets be moving lower. There's been a steady increase in negative momentum So the kind of momentum is with the bears So if we do press on lower from here, we could like head back down toward this line here in around 3,200 Not only is it kind of, you know, 3,200, you know a big a big round number But on top of that, we can see that on a few occasions it acted nicely as support So if it's actually that support in the past it makes it more likely that it'll act as support in the future Although there are no guarantees Any move to the upside could incur resistance at 3,300 And if we go beyond that this blue line here the fifth remove the average Which is previously acted as support on other occasions in the last few weeks at 3,351 that could act as resistance on the way up One of the tenets of the Dow theory Which we often talk about in my videos states that the averages must confirm each other Which essentially means if you're looking at a certain market and it's moving in a certain direction And if you see markets that are similar to us are also moving in the same direction You can become more confident that that that move across the board is going to continue So we've seen that the S&P 500 below is 50 day moving average We've seen the Dow Jones below is 50 day moving average And we've also seen the The the DAX over in Germany below 50 moving average and as you can see as you saw The FTSE 100 is well below its 50 moving average So you got some big indices there that are all below their 50 moving averages Should they all continue to remain below their 50 moving average Averages that would increase the likelihood of of those markets remaining in their more more recent bearish move One of the beneficiaries of the negative move in Stocks and kind of commodities has been the US dollar. So the last few sessions we've seen a bit we see some Buying of the US dollar whenever we've had negative days on stocks and commodities Which are deemed to be kind of risk on currents risk on assets The wider trend for your dollar is very much at the upside But more recently we've seen a bit of a sell-off So we did hit um, it's highest level than over in two years at the beginning of the month But since then it's been rather range bound We're drifting a bit lower the euros under pressure today on account of the dollar gaining ground because it's At the moment perceived to be a lower risk asset A risk-off asset if you press on lower here We could look at retesting this blue line here at the fifth of the moving average And that comes to play just to solve the fear I'm pretty close to it at one spot 17 65 If you go below that we could they really heading towards back down toward this zone here in one spot 16 96 And a move below that could take us down towards one spot 16 Any move to the upside in in um in your dollar are likely to recurrent resistance I think at the highs of about a week and a half ago in a one spot 1917 And if you got me on that we could be like heading up towards the the 120 area Taking like a pound dollar So obviously the the British pounds been under pressure recently gave them what's going on The uncertainty about the future trading relationship between the uk and the european union when the transition period ends At the very end of december And there's a possibility that the uk and the uk the uk and the eu could do with trading on wto terms come Early 2021 and that fear is putting pressure in the british pound So at the start of the month we saw pound dollar had its highest level since december So over about a nine month high But since then and renewed fears in relation to The uk the uk's relationship with the european union has the pressure on the british pound in addition to that Risk off sentiment in stock markets has the pressure on the dot has put upward pressure on the dollar and in turn downward pressure on the pound So we found a sharp move in the downside We said the lower low found a lower high It's fail to get retake the fifth day moving average It's turning over on itself again if you retake the recent lows here We could be heading back down toward this red line here the third removing average in a one spot 27 29 And if you go below that we could then be heading back down towards the lows of mid august Sorry mid july rather in a one spot 24 80 And if you go below that we could then be like you're heading heading down potentially down towards this this area here at one spot 22 51 Coming on to gold next for gold tradition as well when traders are in risk off mode, but The u.s. Dollar has been performing well in when um In relation to risk off sentiment and the dollar and gold is trading u.s. Dollars So the firmer u.s. Dollar has actually been hurting gold Um, so the wider movement gold has been very bullish We had an all-time high only at the beginning of august And since then we've been training in a narrowish range You know the broader upper trend is still intact We draw a trend line between the lows of mid august to the lows of early september We get this trend line here We're not too far, you know We're essentially being supported by that trend line at the moment while we continue to hold above that trend line The wider upper trend should continue and if you press on higher from here We could be looking at retesting The highs of last week in a one spot 19. Sorry 1973 if you go beyond that We could be looking at it towards 2000 if you do have a break below this trend line here We could be looking at it back down towards 1900 even the lows of the last few weeks It's gotten close to 1900 but haven't gotten quite there And if you do have a size of break below 1900 it could take us back down towards the lows of early mid august in at 18 63 And finally coming on to oil brain crude november contract Um You know oil would also pose a fault in the category of being a risk on asset So if the if these if there are perceptions that the the global economy Is struggling because of the COVID-19 crisis. It's likely we could see gay. We could see um Demand or perceptions of demand for oil taper off. So we have since we've seen some weakness in the oil market recently We have we did achieve, you know multi-month highs Five-month highs in the month of august, but known as how obviously kind of kind of coinciding with uncertainty in stock markets We've also seen a pullback in that a moving lower in in the oil market The wider upward trend of the last few months is is still intact I'm a bit concerned that we've had the lower low This could turn out to be a lower high and the market might turn over on itself yet again And if that is the case keeping up for this area here in around 39 spot 40 there thereabouts on a few occasions that area active resistance So it could active resistance in it again But if you do have a decent break below that that will be significant. Um, that could take us back down towards the lows Of uh of mid early to mid june in around 30 37 spot 93 And if you go below that it could take us back down towards the 36 area But keep in mind the wider trend is at the upside So if you press on higher from here and if you retake this blue line the fifth to the moving average Which actually has both support and resistance recently if you retake that at 44 spot all three We could be looking up heading towards 45 and then you could be like retesting the highs that were achieved In the early part of august That's all from this from this video this week having a good trading week and good luck


We see from the wastewater treatment plan, when I did my research there in 2013, I analysed the effluent of the wastewater to see if there are georgia and Kypsoporidium, and a lot, thousands of seeds were found in the effluent of the wastewater treatment plant. And this effluent, because they were mainly using this infect time to treat the parasite, but this parasite are very, very resistant to disinfection, like chlorine, ozoneation and so on and so forth. So this parasite, so what I thought was, this parasite are being flushed into the river. What about the animals in the river, the fish and everything we get from the river. Now I am doing, trying to examine the morsel that are along the river, to see what are the parasite inside. And for the few months of my research, I found that there are lots of parasites in the morsel. So any animal or anything you take from the river site, you make sure, if it is an animal to eat, you make sure you cook it very well. Because this parasite, they are very, very resistant. They cause a lot of havoc to our digestive system. So in research, again, was being carried with the same protozoan parasite in Australia, North America and Europe. And in Australia, 46 percent, 46.7 percent of this parasite cause outbreak. And then 30.6 percent were from North America. And then 16.1 percent from Europe.


Hey everybody, Dr. Rowe here. So in this video we're going to cover the anatomical differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. I want to do this because I know like pre-ganglionic, post-ganglionic, this stuff gets a little messy. But if you understand these differences, I think it will help you understand how they function and why these two divisions are so different in the end, okay? So let's go ahead and start here with the length of the nerves.  And that's the opposite on the parasympathetic nervous system. The pre-ganglionic neurons are long with your parasympathetic system and the post-ganglionic nerves are short. So why does this matter? This means that the nerve that's actually controlling a structure or an organ is really close to its target with the parasympathetic nervous system and a long way away from its target in the sympathetic nervous system. So why does that matter? That means that when your parasympathetic nervous system is triggered, it's going to send a response to a very specific location so that the responses are usually going to be localized. Your sympathetic nervous system is all about huge, broad, massive changes occurring all over the place. So this long post-ganglionic neuron is going to have a lot of divergence and a lot of branches. So one signal, instead of controlling one organ or less, one signal can actually have an impact on multiple organs. So this isn't gibberish. The reason that you need to understand the lengths of the pre-ganglionics and post-ganglionic neurons is so you understand why the sympathetic nervous system has huge, broad effects, whereas the parasympathetic system has these small, local effects. The other thing to note here is which neurotransmitters are being used. It's something you just have to know. So with the parasympathetic nervous system, it's almost always acetylcholine. So unless you hear of an exception, it's always acetylcholine, which means that the pre-ganglionic neurons release acetylcholine and the post-ganglionic neurons also release acetylcholine. So some of them do release nitric oxide, which is an interesting vasodilator, but not worth noting. So the parasympathetic system just think acetylcholine is the only real key neurotransmitter being used. With your sympathetic nervous system, that isn't true. Your pre-ganglionic neurons, they release acetylcholine. But the post-ganglionic neurons, they're going to release primarily norepinephrine. So norepinephrine is the other name for it is noradrenaline. So this is going to be adrenaline's cousin. Adrenaline is more important as a hormone in the bloodstream, but as a neurotransmitter we use more norepinephrine. So the post-ganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are going to release primarily norepinephrine. Now some will also release epinephrine or adrenaline, and even other ones will release other things, but I want to muddy the water. So think sympathetic's releasing adrenaline or it's cousin. So what do you think the sympathetic system does? Fight or flight? So if you remember the neurotransmitters, hopefully that'll help you. All right, another thing here, just looking at the basic differences as far as where the names come from, the parasympathetic division is called the craniosacral division because it's controlled by cranial nerves 3, 7, 9 and 10, which you can see there at the top of that image on the right, and controlled by the sacral segments S2 to S4. So that's why it's called the craniosacral division. The sympathetic nervous system is called the thoracolumbar division because it's controlled by spinal segments T1 to L2. So there's another key anatomical difference is where this information is coming from. And the last thing that I haven't noted yet, which ties into even the last slide, is the adrenal medulla, sorry, apologize, the adrenal medulla. So the center of the adrenal gland, which releases the hormone epinephrine primarily, is a modified sympathetic ganglion. So your sympathetic nervous system actually controls the center of the adrenal glands. That's a special exception. We can cover that later, but that's also another reason. So since when your sympathetic system kicks in, all that nerve divergence is one reason you have real big broad effects, sorry about that. But the fact that your adrenal gland dumps hormones into the bloodstream is another reason why the sympathetic nervous system has much broader reaching effects and also they last a lot longer. Hormones stay in your bloodstream a lot longer than neurotransmitters stay in the synapse. Okay, so I hope that explaining these differences before we dive too deep in will help you understand why these systems operate so differently. Okay, I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


That extraordinary pile of rock behind me is Hart Mountain. As impressive as it is, it's but a tiny fragment of one of the greatest landslides in Earth's history. Try to imagine yourself standing here in the northern Bighorn Basin near Cody when a block of carbonate and lava rock over a mile in height then 13 times the size of Manhattan Island breaks off a plateau near Yellowstone Park and travels towards you at speeds of about 100 miles per hour. The block that became Hart Mountain was near the leading edge of the slide and it was transported about 40 miles to its current resting place, possibly in just a few minutes. Now why do we think that? Well first, the rock on top of Hart Mountain is almost 300 million years older than the sediments that it now stands on. It had to have been a landslide. It came from near Cook City on the northeast corner of Yellowstone. During the landslide, the detached rock was broken into at least 50 large blocks of which Hart Mountain is the most prominent. Volcanic activity probably initiated the detachment. Well nobody knows exactly why the slide slid as far as it did, but whatever the combination of powerful forces combined to create it, Hart Mountain is an impressive Wyoming landmark and a geologic mystery that has found its way into the world's textbooks. From the University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service, I'm Eric Peterson exploring the nature of Wyoming.


So our next order of business will be the transportation impact fee 101 presentation So here's our agenda for the presentation. So what we'll talk about first is what our transportation impact fees What's the purpose of them the legal background the standing for how the city of Fort Worth is able to levy those fees? The study itself which I've referred to already a couple of times to understand what that's about the exemptions credits discounts and then the appeals process the timing and the Impact fee project funding so how all of that works in the development process because there's that arc of the process Where does this fit in and then where you all fit in the capital improvement advisory committee? What what is your role what your statutory role as it comes to the program and then the semiannual report contents Which will be really helpful for the second presentation of the day And then of course the context for the program and then there'll be more time for questions at the end If we don't have any throughout the presentation So what are transportation impact fees? I'm not going to read the slide to you, but what I will tell you is this This is a charge that is levied by the city to improve regional mobility I don't actually want money. We want roads And so the way that we do that is that we can charge this fee when a project comes in for building permit and If the developer has built roads and donated right away for those roads They did get a discount on that But if they're unable to do that or unwilling to do that then we're able to collect the fee So that one fine day the city of Fort Worth can then build those roads So the purpose of this program primarily is to improve the capacity of Traffic on our roadways throughout the city of Fort Worth And there's a mathematical formula I forgot to mention that part So these are direct payments You know that are submitted directly to the city of Fort Worth through a cella And then we turn those around and we invest in our capital projects And we also have an opportunity and it's something that we do quite often is we enter into public private partnerships with our Development partners. So because the development comes in they typically need to do some kind of infrastructure Improvement so maybe build a couple lanes of a road or put in a signal We know that there is more to be done there And if there is money in the impact fee program Then we are able to enter into one of these partnerships with them and give them some money to build more than what their Required scope of work is so if they're to build one signal Maybe we're able to get them to build two or if they're building two lanes Maybe we build four and so this is an opportunity for us to leverage this money to again increase regional mobility build roads That's the main purpose build roads All right. Oh and very important to note the transportation impact fees are not the same as Exactions are rough proportionality. They're covered into entirely different chapters in the local government code Many times they are spoken about interchangeably, but they are very different programs But because there's always a bud When a developer does come in and build roads that are on in the impact fee program that are that are their Exaction and they're also on the study then we're able to give them credit So in a way they kind of get a two-fer so not only are they doing what they need to do But then they also are able to get a discount on the impact fees owed All right, so the legal standing which are kind of just alluded to there Transportation impact fees can be found in Texas local government code 395, which has a very long title But we'll just call them impact fees. There's two different types of impact fees covered in their Transportation and water impact fees, but this is only transportation impact fees that we're talking about today And the transportation impact fees is the sole purpose of this capital improvement advisory committee And then of course the code of the city of Fort Worth Takes that chapter a little bit further and adds some detail to it and how we apply and collect our transportation impact fees in chapter 30 Article 8 so here's some detail from the Texas local government code and how Kind of the special sections that this is how we can levy the fee These are the things that we can actually spend the fees on so I mentioned construction But it's also we couldn't spend that money on surveying and engineering as it relates to those wider sections You know again for the city to bear more of the burden of that cost we can also buy right-of-way with that and Some other items the one thing we cannot pay for is staff time So that would be staff time as it relates to project management So if the city of Fort Worth is actually building that road section, we can't pay staff to work on that project And then also for inspection, which is also staff time Yes, sir. He's ahead of me. Oh So this is what they can't be used for so as Doug mentioned And it's very important about the maintenance because we get that question a lot. Oh, there's some potholes can we use it? No, I really wish I could But no that the local government code 395 specifically restricts the funds for additional capacity This also trips us up sometimes when we have a road that's a two-lane asphalt road And what we would want to build there by our design guidelines is a four-lane concrete road The impact fees can only be used to pay for two lanes of concrete because that's the additional capacity There's already two lanes of asphalt in place So even though turning those asphalt into concrete benefits everyone the local government code specifically says I can only use the impact Fees or the city can only use those impact fees to increase capacity and that also trips us up from time to time Let's see here. Mm-hmm So all more of this is all again about how we are able to You know improve capacity and again, we're looking at future demand So the impact fee program and the underlying or the underpinning Guide for us is the master thoroughfare plan where we have projected out Where we can project out 20 to 25 years of what is the need of the city of Fort Worth as we project the population and so again, we're looking at Future points in time. How do we accommodate that and how do we build our network to suit all the people who? Rightfully so are making their way to the city of Fort Worth local government code further Discusses and kind of confines and defines our maximum fee per service unit when we can collect those fees giving us the authority to to collect them and It also talks about who doesn't have to pay impact fees And so school districts and charter schools are exempt from impact fee payments. So that's again something too that we Kind of a benefit as we work with you of those who educate our children and I guess one final thing which isn't really a problem, but if we don't spend the money within 10 years We have to give it back. Don't worry. I'm working on that We are definitely going to spend the money before it expires within 10 years Okay, so chapter 30 article 8. This is within the city of Fort Worth's code So the transportation impact fee program is a fairly young program It was adopted by the city of Fort Worth in 2008. So 15 years old quite young And you know, we have modeled it directly after local government code 395 intentionally so that we have that that state law underpinning our program and of course our ordinance has been amended many times in those 15 years Most recently last year with the adopter no actually most recently this year in April where we Adjusted some of the collection rates for our service areas All right, so this is the impact fee study itself By law we are required to update the impact fee study every five years We can do it earlier than that, but five years is the outer limit again We're forecasting growth our master thoroughfare plan projects that growth out 20 to 25 years What we're looking at specifically in the impact fee study is a 10-year projection This establishes our service area boundary. So the city of Fort Worth is carved up into 26 service areas, which I will get to in a second What's really important about the study is it establishes our maximum accessible rate So this is the maximum we could charge if we charge that rate, which we don't but it sets up that that far out maximum So misspoke it's 28 service areas So there's 28 service areas within the city nine of them are no fee service areas And what that means to you and me is that the regional mobility need for those service areas has been met So the master thoroughfare plan in those zones has been built So in all those other areas it hasn't been so you can see you know what inside the loop It's all gray except for Panther Island and those canals But in that area there there's actually only two projects the white settlement bridge and the white settlement intersection But all around kind of the outside of the loop. There are regional mobility needs and that's where this money goes The funds collected in a service area stays in that service area So it isn't a fee that's collected maybe in the north side of town and used in the south There is actually that service area boundary limits where we can spend it. So if it's Collected there it's spent there. So This slide has a lot of letters on it Suffice to say those in color are the fee collecting ones and those that are gray are no fee And so if we are in a gray zone what we're looking for here is actually redevelopment So this is a bonus in a way when we have new developers come into the city of Fort Worth and they look to redevelop a site They will not be they will not be charged or levied impact fees And so this is a way and again for us to encourage that redevelopment of some of our areas of town So this is a image of a map from the Traffic impact fee study. So this is specifically service area. That's tiny F. There it is And so what's interesting about this map is that you can see on it what where the projects are So the little bubbles are the actual named projects within the program We've got the blue squares. Those are intersections And then the segments that are a color other than black then those are the segments where we've got Projects planned for those zones and it within the impact fee study We actually do a cost estimate for those Roadways so that we can understand. What is that need? What is the dollar valuation of that need? All right. So how are the fight fees calculated? We are not gonna go through the math Exactly. Don't worry. So again the study sets our maximum accessible rate And the way that we do that is we gather pieces of information to create that number So we gather all the land use and population projection So we do a lot of work with cog to get those data sets also looking at our future land use plan Just you know, what are we projecting as the use throughout the city of Fort Worth? Then we develop a tenure impact fee transportation improvement plan Basically a subset of the master thoroughfare plan if the master thoroughfare plan is out 25 years And we're only trying to project out ten years What do we think it's going to be needed in the big plan in the next ten years only and Then we remove costs associated with existing development and growth after ten years So again, not looking out beyond ten years just within that ten year time frame And so we calculate that maximum per service area and this is what that maximum fee per service area Which is per vehicle mile in each of our service areas. So in some of our service areas They are due to become no fee service areas Either in the next cycle or the next one after that So we're looking at some of our lower cost ones. So like a a at the very top end of the city of Fort Worth You know that one is a very low Service unit, which means it's mostly built out another low one is D and F So again, those will likely become no fee service areas in the near future The ones where the max fee per service unit is quite high. Those are areas with the most demand And so you're looking at areas like Z or M. You have these areas with a lot of need All right, again, no numbers here exactly just some kind of rough calculations So the maximum fee per service area is determined. It's the sum of the eligible traffic costs over the growth So it's what do we think is going to grow in the next ten years over what we need in the next ten years And that's how we get our maximum service unit And at the bottom there is a calculation of what that would look like All right scheduled to so lots people talk about schedule one schedule two now is a percentage of schedule one Schedule two is our collection, right? This is established by council because As a policy we don't want the development community to bear the full brunt of the expansion And this is to help our economic growth and there's lots of good reasons to do that And so council has established what those collection rates will be so I mentioned that on June 1st The collection rate was established for residential properties It would be 50% of that maximum rate and then for non-residential developments It's 40% of that scheduled one rate now if you look I've highlighted 50% there And then there's lots of words after that. Let me explain We wanted to get to fit 65% of the schedule one for residential properties But doing that in one jump Seemed Just very challenging to bear for the development community. And so what we've done is we've basically taken a step approach So it's 50% now June 1st next year it'll go to 55% then 60% the following June 1st and then 65% So we will get there, but not just not one one big step. And so that was the compromise that was reached last year So how do we estimate the impact fees? There's a spreadsheet for that. It's available on the website if you're curious about it I welcome you to go and tinker around with it if you break it Let me know because we're not supposed to be able to break it So I need to go and fix that so please feel free to click that link And and tinker around with it But what that is what that's used for is to provide transparency for the program So this is available to to anyone to the development community. So to our owners to our engineers And so that they can estimate what their impact fees will be and they don't need to rely on staff to provide them that number it is here for them to kind of Determine sort of as they're developing their property. What is the right mix for what? Their financial situation can bear All right exemptions. So now that I've mentioned how expensive it all is everybody's super excited about exemptions So our exemptions we have our public schools that are an exemption open enrollment charter schools are also an exemption Properties that are in our neighborhood empowerment zones. Those are also exempt And then what we also do with our impact-free program is change of use permits for previously occupied space They are also exempt. So for example, if there was a warehouse the first finish out You know, so it's just a shell. Nobody knows what's inside it yet The first time it's built out that would incur impact fees because now we know what's going in there Let's say five years later that tenant moves out and someone else moves in that second tenant wouldn't be charged transportation impact fees So again working on that redevelopment angle for the city of Fort Worth credits Credit towards impact fees are given for as I mentioned before the dedication of right of way for MTP roads And this is typically associated with the final plat where that's recorded and that right-of-way is officially dedicated to the city of Fort Worth improvements towards our MTP roadways and You know, again, this is either done through the engineering process I'm as a part of our development process arc or through a future improvement agreement And or other improvements supplying additional capacity or excess capacity that what is there today? Want to build roads want capacity. That's what we're that's what we're looking for and the credits are good for 10 years So we'll create a credit agreement To capture this for our development community so that when they come in they hand us the big publisher clearing house coupon That says I now have two million dollars with a credit Please don't charge me impact fees for the next 20 permits that I pull So I really actually wish it was a big coupon like that. I think it'd be more fun But it's actually a very boring document either way. It's their coupon Here is all the legalese behind that coupon skip this So what do we not give credit for? We don't give credit for right-of-way or infrastructure that is solely for that development So if you think of a subdivision the big road outside, you know the big four and six lane road with The the median and the trees and the sidewalks. That's what we get credit for But the interior roads inside that development. We don't give credit for those roadways so what we can do is We don't give credit for roadways on the m2p that are not in the impact fees study unless We agree so staff agrees with the developer that it provides value and it provides capacity for more than just their development So there have been cases when we've been able to do that And again, you know happy to do that Next slide. All right, so here is that that area where exactions and transportation impact fees overlap So again, the exaction is part of chapter 212 where the city says you thank you so much for building the city of Fort Worth because you're adding this brand-new office building here with I don't know 400 jobs and be a whole bunch of cars we need some You're going to put in a signal and this is all determined by the traffic impact assessment If part of that scope is on the master thoroughfare plan or it's in the transportation improvement plan Then we can give you credit we give that developer credit for that effort and that work and that's that green spot in between All right Other discounts, so this is where the city is championing specific types of activities or developments So we have four of them right now So our adequate public facilities discount or our AP FD. We really lack acronyms It's a 50% reduction on the schedule to rate which as I mentioned before like if it's non-residential It's already 40% right so this would take it down to 20% schedule one so a 50% reduction on the schedule to rate if the majority of the traffic comes off of a road that's already built So if you've already got a road that sat outside your development and all your traffic's going there Then we'll say that you have adequate public facilities and will reduce your contribution Another discount is our mixed-use multimodal development discount. So this is trying to Encourage trip capture. So development near rail stations Bicycle paths and and things of that nature. So really This is sort of our green discount if you will and it ranges between 10 and 25 percent Depending on the trip capture that's indicated in their traffic impact assessment The extraordinary investment discount This is one where we've sort of linked up with economic development where we are trying to give Those extraordinary investments that get tax abatement Agreements with economic development going to give them an additional perk. So something else to say Thank you so much for choosing Fort Worth as your home So this reduction is 25 to 50 percent And that is based on their their investment in the city of Fort Worth So 25 million dollars and their creation of 75 new jobs at at least twice the current minimum wage plus benefits So, you know, these are good-paying jobs and if they provide more than that then the percentage increase can go up to 50 percent And last but not least our small business discount. We keep talking large This one's for our small our small developments that are coming to the city of Fort Worth So this is a 25 percent reduction of the schedule to this is usually for the finish out So it's not for new build These are genuinely for our our new and growing small businesses are our bakeries our salons that kind of thing that are Kind of growing in our spaces in our shell spaces. So this will be an independently owned entity It's a Fort Worth address. It's very important to us They're not going to be a subsidiary or a franchisee that this goal of this is not to support mcdonald's You know, we're trying to go for homegrown and have avenue annual revenues of 2.5 million dollars are less So again, trying to make sure they're small for the most recent 12 month period And of course they will be validating this information for us Okay, so appeals we get a couple of these every now and again Largely in part to you know, maybe providing additional detail, which maybe wasn't considered at the time that the fee was levied So the the appeal must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the fee being levied So that is at the building permit stage and what can be appealed is their land you so, you know, maybe we've determined that It's a salon. We've called it a hair salon. It's actually a dog salon And so we maybe have picked the wrong Selection in the estimator for them so we can work that out You know, maybe they want us to take another look at the discounts And maybe they want us to reconsider what credits are available for them There's some information that's required for that appeal and the first appeal would just go to staff because it would just be a conversation I mean if that doesn't work out they appeal to the director then the city manager's office And then finally there could be an appeal to city council And I will say it very rarely gets that far so because we do try to work it out as best we can so timing The impact fees are assessed at the time of the final plat and what that does is that locks in their maximum accessible rate That is where their study Is established so which study that they're under And then they're collected when the building permit application is accepted, which is not necessarily approved That means they've submitted everything that we need and it's all in order. That's when we say, okay This point. This is the collection rate. Um, for example, when our collection rates went up on june 1st we had a flood of Building permits come in that last week of may Because we're going to do this And so we appreciate that and so what so what staff did was they worked overtime Um, you know to make sure that anything that was submitted that we were able to determine whether or not it was You know accepted before that june 1st date so that you know if If our development partners did that hard work and got it in that we were able to lock them in at that Earlier collection rate and so i'm sure before the next increase that will happen again So this is a very rough process map for the process For the development process arc. It is way more detailed than this so Please don't take this as the word The green boxes are where the impact fee program kicks in So this is where we're we're assessing and we're capturing credits And we are doing our level best to Make sure that we are applying our impact fees in accordance with state and local law And that and we've done our level best to explain What's going on in those processes the other Areas so this is you know the beginning of the process zoning plating engineering You know the final plat but once that final plat is recorded And the development team is able to now move into getting building permits. That's where we kick in If you have any questions, please feel free to stop. There's a lot going on here All right, so what do we use them for again? We expand the scope of any of development project project that's out there Oh, we get so through our public private partnerships And then we're also able to fund named projects within the impact fee study and in the service area So again, most importantly the money that's collected in the service area stays in that service area I think I said that got ahead of myself. So why are y'all here? I'm being subjected to this very long presentation So the role of the ciac as identified in the local government code 395 is that you will advise and assist In adopting the land use assumptions So all of those assumptions come to you first for recommendation before it goes to city council You review the transportation improvement program. So the maps you do that first then it goes to council You monitor and evaluate the implementation of the transportation improvement plan You receive semiannual reports, which you will hear in a second and it's a much shorter presentation um, and then you'll advise The need to update the land use assumptions the transportation improvement plan the fee if there's anything that's You all are aware of or that we've brought to your attention that needs to be raised up to council This is what this body will do is you'll make that recommendation Um, and then we have as I mentioned before two ciac's one for transportation and one for water Fortunately, we just have to do the transportation ones here So who is the ciac? So as you walked in here today, you were the city planning commission and now you were the capital improvement advisory committee This is allowed by local government code 395 and so we very much appreciate you while doing that for us And it's and of course you're all private citizens Which is wonderful and it gives us this perspective to the program that we as staff don't have and we really appreciate that exterior Look at what we're doing And we typically meet twice a year for each of the semiannual reports. It gets a bit more exciting and more frequent During the year where we do an actual study update because we'll be bringing to you Kind of hot off the presses status updates on where we are in that process So we'll bring to you, you know, oh, we discovered this and oh this happened Then we want to make sure that you all stay very well informed Okay, semiannual report. What does it contain? The ins and the outs in short so the revenue and the expenditures in the program I won't go into detail here. I've got that other presentation But at the end of it, we'll be asking you to make a recommendation to approve the semiannual report as presented And what was given to you in your packets For more information about the transportation impact fee program, please check out our online resources at www.fortworthtexas.gov forward slash impact dash fees forward slash transportation If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our general inquiries line at<PHONE_NUMBER> Or contact us at trif at fortworth texas.gov Thank you for watching


Hey, what's happening man? Thank you for joining us the king penny podcast This is episode number two last week was dope. I appreciate you guys tapping in checking it out The views were great. The feedback was awesome. You know, I know there's a lot of stuff I need to work on and we're gonna get to it, you know, but this week. Let's try to make it better That's all we're gonna do week by week and we have a very beautiful special guest from here in Longmont, Colorado Miss Katrina Look, I don't have an applause button The sound guy to end the video guy look here, I can only do so Okay, we got it. All right, there we go. So, you know, I mean, we know your name is Katrina, right? So today we're gonna figure out what it is you actually do what's motivating you What's the overall goal and how you balance all of this? Great life questions. I think I was born ready. But yeah, let's do it Let's start. So where are you from? Originally, I'm from California. I was born in Palo Alto stayed out there for a few years My mom moved me here really young I went back and forth for a long time and then I just stayed out here had some kids made my own roots Okay, how many children I have three kids Probably the reason why this we could just jump into motivation But yeah, I have three children, so I Just forgot how there are 12 11 and seven That's what that's a single Mary none of your business I'm single and I'm not specifically looking because I just have more important things right now. Hey, I heard that. No, that's really good So what do you do for a living? I? Feel like the better question is what don't I do? I'm a woman with many hats. I get that all the time a woman with many hats I like to say I'm a catalyst of magic. So and not in the not in the way of like crystals and spells and all that I just like to be passionate about what other people are passionate about so I might do like a lot of content creation and photography and social media management I'm partner for a company called the knock 303 as well. Shout out to Kelsey and the knock That's the fan bam right there But and we do a lot of cool things together that you just really can't put into categories Other than create magic. I did come across that site for though and I was talking to you about that before we started What's it was actual like the hispanic Cypher or yeah, so it not necessarily hispanic, but we really wanted to Shout out the the hip-hop is in like everybody's culture So it may have started, you know in certain areas, but it's adapted to where like so many people can be a part of hip-hop and Um, you know for the most part a lot of people see music is colorblind So we really love that so we went and we called it our Chicano lineup Um, but yeah, so a lot of artists that um and some of them weren't even heavily like into their heritage like that But they were just like this is a great way for me to start and we went to um Culture a chocolate in Denver, which is like a hispanic chocolate factory And that was really cool. And the whole neighborhood is really just latino pride and um, we had a great time But yeah, please go to youtube and type in the knock 303 check out all of our ciphers. They're incredible It's too early for a plug I Got you though, but it is fire though definitely check that one out man. So You also so you wear all these hats But you also are in school. Yes. Yes. I am And what are you studying? uh business management with an emphasis on small business and entrepreneurship The idea is to be able to walk into any business and make it more successful and like more thriving and then walk out And just keep like a residual income from that business That way there's multiple streams of revenue generational wealth all those things. Oh, look at you thinking ahead thinking about what you got I have three kids. Yeah Three kids one income you gotta do something big. So how often do you meet with your team? Kelsey and I talk Kelsey I have multiple teams But Kelsey's probably my main um shout out to my boys at survival seven as well because they survival seven entertainment I run their social media And do probably about 80 percent of their content creation and promotion marketing and stuff like that Um, they're they're great. They are super great. Just they're I'm not as heavily in with them as I am with Kelsey like her and I we talk every day like seven o'clock in the morning She's calling me like so on today's schedule and I'm like, yep. I'm here for it. Let's do it Um, but realistically we try to meet twice a week because right now we have three projects that we're currently We have in motion and none of them are like in the same Realms, um, but you guys so mainly but you guys uh function in Denver though Yes. Yeah. So the knock three three is primarily at a Denver not to say that we don't pull from Wherever but that's just where the main music hub is so so an artist can reach out to you guys Just on instagram or um, so we have a link tree But instagram's probably our biggest way of pulling in artists. We do have in our link tree There's an artist submission form if you're an artist don't think because you're not from Denver You can't work with the knock. Um, we support like all creativity and drive an artist because we just think that Our artist community is really underserved and not represented in the best way Which was how this whole idea came to be and this is Kelsey's idea I just jumped in like halfway through when she was having a rough time and we just We are like yin and yang and work really well together And also too, I want a lungmon artist too to tap in in the comment section.  You be rapping at my weight pile. Hey, my man He's doing this thing though, but I gotta try to get him going but so Well come see us on the instagram. I run it.  So I want to know how do you balance all of this? Like how do you juggle everything that you have going on? All the answers I wanted to say are probably not appropriate for the audience that we're looking at But balance as of late, especially within the last couple months has really been a big word on my plate Because it's always a balance whether whether it's like work in private life Or whether it's like my two different two to five different jobs, you know, or balancing a schedule or keeping School and I really don't think I have an answer I just try to be really self aware of how I'm feeling because I can go and go and go just like a lot of people You know, we'll push ourselves into the ground but really being aware of You know, when I'm doing too much or when I need to find my piece, you know And that helps me find the balance like knowing that I'm getting to my limit helps me be able to anticipate the next round of when I So how did you how did you pivot or transition into this? Like all of these Like because I'm sure you had like a regular nine to five, right? Oh, I still have a nine to five too on top of my Yeah, yeah, I still work at nine to five shout out rise broadband Yeah, yeah, um, they're actually a great company I can't even lie. I've been with them for like four years And because of the stability I have with that company. I'm able to like Really explore like my schooling and things like that they work with my schedule to for my kids and they're just they're a great company I can't even okay, but so so you do that But how did you pivot from that to doing all the stuff all the other stuff? Like what got you involved in all the other stuff? man I know exactly what it was Shout out to one of my good friends. His name is PG. He's an artist in Denver I was originally a fan before him and I were ever friends And I started going to his shows and then we just really started communicating And he had done a show with the knock and I applied for their internship Right around the same time that I was doing a video with him Um, and then Kelsey just also happened to be in that video and we met and just really have been in communication ever since that moment But it's because of my good friend P and Kelsey that like a lot of doors have opened up to me In this area because before I was just another kid in the crowd like happy to be here Which I'm still immensely happy to be here like at any event that I'm at but um Yeah, yeah, that was that was the pivot probably doing my internship and being like number one fan for my good friend Nah, that's super cool. So this is always a tough question Because I want to know what's your least favorite part about everything that you do The least like what is the most? tedious the most nerve-wracking or the You know that really slows you kind of down Honestly, it's my nine to five Yeah, uh, if I don't know my nine if I if I could Be stable without my nine to five and really just do like the things that I love to do and impassioned a bit about That'd be great. But realistically, I just can't replace the income right now But my nine to five is probably the thing that I hate to do the most like when I wake up in the morning I'm like How to work from 8 30 to 5 30 Which I'm blessed to work from home and things like that but still I just you know, I could be Off networking or locking in venues or exploring other things that I can't do just sitting at this Never enough But so now that we got that out the way What is the favorite like what is the moment the moment that you like you really soak it all in like That's that's hard. I have so many of these moments lately Um, I recently picked up photography pretty heavily And so like when I'm going through the pictures and like seeing these incredible pictures Like that if I would see them online and be like dang who took that and I did I did that Um another moment like that is our studio nights with the knock Like when we have all the artists in the studio and they're creating and it's a vibe It is a whole vibe like I couldn't I couldn't put it into words But they should try to capsule that and sell it because it would be Phenomenal for people to be able to experience that kind of just camaraderie and like creativity Innovation all in one room between different people and so you so you're feeding that energy But I'm sure you're there's late nights Oh, yeah And then you have to get home and be mom and then get up We go to work and do that like you know what I mean like how What motivates you to get up like what is like What kind of because because late nights studio sure. I mean we've all had them like I used to make music a long time ago But no, but you gotta think so you're tired You know you come home and stuff like that and then the day doesn't matter what happened You know, it still needs to be attacked What's getting you out of bed? What's motivating you? What's what's that fire? Where is that coming from?  No one else is gonna do it, but realistically It's the God it's so many things. It's remembering five years ago when I didn't wake up in a bed Then I woke up on the floor, you know, it's uh My kids have their own beds to wake up and it's so many things that motivate me that So many people find me like inspirational in their life, you know and empowering like that keeps me going as well Just a just the push of wanting better You should always be Trying to do better and so that should help you wake up in the morning anyways Because it's just a new opportunity to have a better day than yesterday Better person than yesterday think a lot of people grind harder, you know when they see when they've seen the bottom Yeah, like if you've seen the bottom and you've been there, you know it Yeah, and so we don't ever want to go back. Yeah, and so it just makes people have like, you know that extra bit of dog in them Yeah, like, you know what I mean? And that's That's just my kids are so entitled like my I need a charger for my phone But I didn't even have a phone till I was in like 10th grade and I had to figure out how to pay for that and just All the things all the things but I'm blessed and my kids live in a world where like they don't even Know like a third of the things that I knew at their age, you know and not even in a bad way Like just they are those are my kids are the sheltered kids and I never had that luxury growing up You know the way people be texting we need to go back to that voice stream 10 cents a text Hey, look you're calling me. Yeah. Yeah Look I try to get stuff done. They I'm texting me.  I don't understand just call me and I can tell you what we're trying to do or tell you Aren't you like really old though too? I've been here for a couple moons I've seen my fair share. We're not gonna go there. You look great. You look what are you like 25? 27 That's not gonna land. So what what are your goals right here right now? Like I know they're every evolving But what is like say for instance a one year five year? What's what's the goal here? In a year, I'd like to be out of my nine to five and solely working off of like my entrepreneurial adventures Five years, I'd like for those ventures to have created some amount of wealth So I can purchase more properties and things like that to really expand on Some of my goals of businesses as well as already have like a few businesses that I've hopefully helped along the way Man that's such a hard question because I I really just want to be great. Like I just want to be great Look that's all you think I think about Yeah, gotta have one on you, you know, you know, I think I think like a king, but I do the work of a servant every day You know I serve the people I try to be one of the people And you know just try to be better try to treat people the way that I want to be treated and also to Opportunities man The opportunities come when you're when you're serving others when you're helping other people Find their way like you're doing you know as far as like just helping them with their business Helping with their dreams their ideas at the same time you get you're getting your bucket full and you're networking You're meeting other people and you're getting finding other avenues and that's the beauty of it I don't think a lot of people everybody just wants to check. Yeah And then you know I'm saying it's more than the check comes after for me Um, realistically both of my teams now You know, I work for the knock for free Just because I love what we do like I don't I don't catch a check I mean in Kelsey is like she buys the best gifts ever She I swear like once a week. She's got some cool little present like anything from just cool candles She bought me like a really cool like inspirational journal because I write but sometimes it's hard So it like gives you just like cool little inspirational points to pivot off of any writing and um She's very thoughtful in that sense But we're like we're in the trenches right now in both of my companies like survival seven My boys have been around for a while, but like we're still grinding all the time Um, I just barely I'm coming up on actually this year will be my first year under contract with them I'm first completed year under contract with them But before that like we were just doing it off the muscle because I believe in you and like what you do So the money is an afterthought everybody wants money and everybody wants to be successful and stable and be able to afford life But that's an afterthought to me. I want to serve the people This might not be a question you can answer and I wouldn't even want to put you on the spot about it But it's a question that I have and not just for you, but just for the colorado music scene Um Why is there no unity or why hasn't there been a push behind? Maybe one or two artists like just push them out there and then you kind of follow the leader type of You know what I mean? Like hey, he's on let's follow him Like let's go and then everybody else can come behind them and sign and I I see such And it's been going on for a while like why hasn't a colorado artist gained like serious like mainstream traction, right? And I don't and I can't I for the life of me I can't because I hear some of the stuff like I just I forget the artist name. I hit him up Like two days ago in the morning I heard like a clip a snippet of 30 seconds or something like that And then I hit him I was like hey man. That's really good. Yeah, yeah Like you know, I mean like hey, you're on to something here man. Keep grinding like and this is like six in the morning Yeah, yeah, you know like that's me. That's me an artist inbox like a six in the morning like you're Fantastic. And then anyway, like did you see I censored myself just now. Yeah, I appreciate you. You know I'm saying rule no I wrote it down. I wrote it right here five times. Please no cussing No, but yeah, but he hit me back at that gate like I appreciate it, bro And I told him I am a following man. See what you got going on. I wish you knew I forget his name I honestly do like just off the top of my head right here right now Here's the thing There's so many ways that that question could potentially be answered, but is there a right answer for it? I can tell you I'm at different events like I'm at Probably no less than two or three events. I try to go to an event every weekend at least And then I'm always in open mics and stuff and every event that I go to there is at least one artist that I've never heard of before And I and I work in the music industry and I've never heard of them before um A lot of people rephrase that question to why is there nobody big out of Denver? Like why does Denver not have its own sound or why does colorado not have its own sound but colorado? We don't really don't have our own anything like we're in the middle of everybody We have legal weed here. We have beautiful landscapes.  They they're here by way of But there are incredible artists doing like incredibly loud things right now But I think it's that mentality more that people feel like oh, there's there's no real sound out of Denver But I'm like y'all haven't met some of my friends because like we have a sound and we have Crazy skill it blows my marbles that people like that I can just walk up to in real life aren't like swarmed by fans Like just musically There's a lot of talent here and not even just like rappers, but like we have singers We have people who play real instruments, you know our open mic nights that I go to are just Insane with like gifted people that I would have never imagined like that you would not be youtube famous or something in this day and age Or you know, there's so many different ways to get there, but Also, it's a very saturated industry as well Yeah, no Like I said, I didn't want to put you on the spot about answer because this is a tough question Yeah years in the making that nobody has figured here we are 2023 and glues really come out of here I mean and we have some artists that did really well like I'm trev what trev rich and atmosphere and stuff like that like they Actually, I don't think atmosphere is from here. So I just dropped his name in there But I'm like trev rich always comes to mind because I'm a fan of trev rich and he I hate that people call him like a b artist because I I don't feel that way But he also hasn't made it to the level of where like he's openly everywhere Like jz and wane and you know all the all the greats of our time, but it's also different Yeah, you stay at it. You'll find a way. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah It's finding your formula music industry. You could be in it forever. Then all of a sudden you got a day Just wake up one day a song you maybe made a while ago Starts getting is my boss hash hash got bars. He uh With survival seven he's been doing music for many many years and I am always like I don't understand like why you know And it's not him. It's just it's the society that could the culture that we're in, you know Because he is a phenomenal artist and he's very seasoned, you know Almost anybody who knows anybody knows who hashes At the open mic nights, you know at the um cipher nights and things like that and he's just an incredible artist But I don't know because he's in demper And that is also curious to me too. Like if these amazing artists uprooted and went somewhere where there's like a music Like hot spot so to speak. So like I I first thought of like Nashville or Atlanta or you know, new york things like that where there's there's like heavier polluted Opportunities for artists and things like that if they would skyrocket as comparison to here where Because we don't have anyone that's come big out of here. You know big super big recording labels or anything like that Here we just have a lot of talent Yeah, can't solve the music industry. It's going to do Let me not vent. I'll go on about it. We'll go on about it. So somebody who wants to Get in the field or wear the hats that you have or you wear What advice would you give them? Like like what would you how would you explain to them? Like what would you share with them? Um, I should be humble Be courteous like just be like a decent person it I can't really like speak to that because I can't I can't imagine one person doing what I do You know what I mean? Like maybe one of the things that I do, but I feel like regular people don't do 27,000 different ventures at one time But if that if you are that type of person if you're that one in a million like me Um make time to sleep find your peace and your balance always like always have a Like something that is like automatic peace for you. You know, mine's my dog. Like whenever Just that's just what it is whenever I'm stressed like she just knows and I'm she's my instant gratification Like when it comes to peace outside of music, I can always throw music on and find peace But I work in music too.  So and then also too how has Embarking on all these, you know, I mean projects and different things. How is it just affected your life? Or your path that on life Gosh, it's been nothing but blessings Since I decided that this is what I wanted to do like this is what I was gonna do This is what I'm good at Which I don't even know what that is specifically, but um I sometimes get referred to that I I fill in all the gaps like I just Whatever's missing like it's just me and I fill that in I mean, I liked that because I really I really do approach people with like, what do you need and like How can we make that happen? You know, even if it's something I've never heard of before Like I will I'll spend hours trying to figure it out before like ever just giving up on something And now I forgot your question because I just went Just how it like affected your path like so say for instance, like, you know salespeople, right?  Like what have you taken from it? What have you? You know what I mean, what is it in steel? um Gosh, those are great questions I mean just to keep going like so the second that I decided to do this for myself really I just Blessings and blessings and opportunities and I'm a I'm a very big believer of the world The world gives you the opportunity to go the right way that you're supposed to go I personally believe in like a predestined path of and whatever that looks like And so somewhere it's already written what I'm supposed to do, but I just had to find it And so whatever I make a good decision. I'm rewarded with that by other blessings and other options And so I have just just I don't I don't really know. What have I instilled to trust myself? Um to trust my own two feet And then so so when that that answers actually my last question too because I want to know how it changed your life like You know like how it is I'm so much happier now and that's Not that I was miserable, but uh just life felt redundant and stagnant You know and I I always I like I've been in school for a minute And I knew that I wanted to do better, but things would just felt like they're just dragging on Now and like the last What two maybe three years like I I've just excelled excelled and everything that I do and The people that I touched do well and and that sounds really like cocky and conceited and I don't mean it to be I just I really try to add value to people's lives in general and in return it just it makes mine more fulfilling So the last question that I have is how can anyone listen into this podcast or people?

They will definitely take the April 28th 2021 version of Mike Ford as well at that opposite field of home run Maybe we'll see him in the lineup against the righty Jorge Lopez tomorrow He gets a start for the O's meantime. It's Jordan Montgomery and Jack We always say follow the leader Kluber was good two nights ago. Her mom was terrific tonight Set the same tone and pace being on the mound in the afternoon right in Montgomery He wants to make up for what happened the last time he was out of the mound Bob an uneven performance by him He didn't make it through five innings gave up three runs, but the three walks bothered him as well So you're right He will try and do what the other starters have done before him and as we mentioned on the pregame The Yankees will try to stop this stutter stepping that they've been doing here Take a bigger step in the positive direction if they're able to win tomorrow against the Orioles They will take three or four in this series They'll finish their road trip six and two and they'll climb within one game of 500 as they head home to play The low-lead Detroit Tigers so tomorrow is a big game I mean it's a big game for Montgomery and their offense which has shown a lot of signs of life on this road trip Wants to take advantage of one more game at Camden yards. All right


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're talking about three different topics regarding some horror updates here in this video today Two will be official things one is gonna be a rumor regarding screen seven It's gonna be about Friday the 13th for the other one and then the last one will be Leprechaun and finally an update on the movie that we now know is actually gonna be coming the next entry in that franchise now Just to kick it off with Friday the 13th. This is coming from GameSpot But it's going as I it says iconic horror composer Harry Man Fred Fredini has revealed that he's working on a new as yet unannounced Friday the 13th game that is unrelated to gun Media's asymmetrical multiplayer horror title man Fredini revealed the news to rely on horror in a recent interview He revealed that the new video game project He's working on is completely separate to 2017's asymmetrical multiplayer horror title Friday the 13th the game The new unannounced game is being developed by a different studio and will feature more realistic looking at characters He also mentioned that the game would be done in a different style to Friday the 13th the game presumably I'm presuming he's referring to the multiplayer gameplay again and I would assume that this could mean we'll have a better campaign mode along with an even more superior multiplayer option I love the 2017 game that we got so I'm excited to see what the future holds here I actually do still play that game on PlayStation But I know a lot of people myself included once that lawsuit started impacting the game I fell out of love with it. I stopped playing it I still revisited time to time and I think recently it was announced that the licenses that gun media or gun interactive I think they go by now Has is expiring by the end of this year then the servers as a whole should be shut down as late as next December I could be mistaken with that, but I'm excited to see what the new Friday the 13th game can present to us I'm excited about the future of the Friday the 13th franchise as a whole because we now have a prequel show We have a supposed reboot on the way and now we have another video game on the way So all in all this could be a very hot time to be a Jason fan if everything goes According to schedule if everything goes over very well in return. We don't get a lot of crap Pola now jumping into the scream 7 room I want to discuss scream 7 apparently will not happen without Jen or Tega and this is just one of the latest rumors about the Project shout-out to beyond the mask and if you haven't already go check out their video from today Regarding this topic now the person who shared this with them is anonymous But claiming to be an insider and predicts that an official announcement for screen 7 might have been closer to the physical media release Again, it's just a prediction. They're not saying it is they're just predicting Jen or Tega We know is gearing up for an even bigger role on Wednesday season 2 Jasmine Savoy Brown We know is also rumored to be contractually obligated to do yellow jacket season 3 before screen 7 So that's another hurdle that should ensure that Paramount and spyglass are waiting for everyone's schedules to be cleared Because I'm assuming that Jasmine should be filming yellow jackets as soon as this fall Jenna should be filming Wednesday as soon as this fall Maybe early 2024 and with both of those two stars tied up and then with the rumor contractual obligations that Jasmine has to yellow jackets That should be enough to ensure that they will wait because you already have radio silence and Melissa Borrena Reuniting to work on a completely different project for Universal that's not even related to scream now The more and more I actually think about just to go over Jenna once more with as big as She is getting and how much star power she's gaining and how much bigger I'm sure she will become after a Wednesday season 2 I'm starting to really settle on the idea of letting Jenna be our mega star opening hill for screen 7 We already have a mega star that's continuing to grow in popularity and in success That many people like to oh well who's gonna be our big opening our big star opening kill this time around I think that we should just let it be Jenna or take a you can do an entire opening sequence that is presented to us as Sam being in danger to make us think Melissa Borreira will be dying in the opening But then we get a surprise when it's revealed that the killer lured Sam away from her house So that terror would be left alone for an accomplice to strike and when Sam realizes this She rushes back home, but it's too late and terror of course will not be making it out of this opening Alive this time around she will be dying and we can see Sam process this throughout the movie Use it to kind of form a narrative around Sam about is she or is she Saying that Tara's death make her snap. I've touched on this countless times I just think there's something about Jenna or Tega that utilizing her as the opening kill For this generation could be one of the most shocking things to have it happen if you execute it correctly And what I mean is don't frame it in the same way That we have for screen five because she was already in an opening I think the bait-and-switch approach could be better Let us think that Melissa Borreira's character of Sam Carpeter is in danger hell You could even throw in Christina Carpeter into the opening Ghostface could literally taunt and harass and chase these two women During the opening only for them to be we're only for them to find out that it was all just for them to be lowered away from the house and The real person who's our opening kill who's gonna have an off-screen attack will be Tara when they come home find her throat Slash, let's say and then scream seven will play out from there with us seeing how Sam is coping with the loss of Tara And of course the return of Ghostface who will return Maybe a year after the opening attack of care of Tara being killed if they want to go that route I just think that's how it should be done a bait a bait-and-switch approach If Jenna is the one that they decide to go with as an opening kill now diving into the last topic here Leprechaun the Leprechaun franchise is gonna be moving forward with this supposed Reimagining that we were first told would be coming courtesy of bloody disgusting who told us that Lionsgate was actively taking pitches It would appear they've settled on one because an update to this scoop has come out today from the Hollywood reporter Lionsgate has now hired directed Felipe Vargas or Vargas to reimagine the Leprechaun franchise Mike van wrote the screenplay Roy Lee who was associated with barbarian is producing through a vertical entertainment the Hollywood reporters also noting Unfortunately, I say that warwick Davis is not expected to reprise the role Lionsgate said this in an official statement 30 years after his debut this franchise still cast a spell and we're thrilled to be Bringing it back with a new vision Aaron Westerman president of production for Lionsgate motion pictures group said this in the statement Roy and Mary are two of our most trusted producers Especially with this genre and we're excited by Felipe's vision for the film as a director in his hands This movie should be very scary and a ton of fun now Is this movie already dead on arrival for a lot of die-hard fans like myself the absence of warwick Davis once again? It's like a here. We go again. You already had this with the horn swagger one The individual I can't think of his name right now who did leprechaun returns. Well, I think he did a fine job I know a lot of people come out of leprechaun returns were like if we get another one, please bring back warwick Warwick had also at one point many years ago stated He didn't want to do any more horror movies because of his kids But he didn't say he wouldn't return and if they were to be older But maybe warwick just doesn't want to do horror anymore I see the reactors already. Oh, hey. Well, why are they doing this if warwick isn't gonna come back? I mean the report says he's not expected back. It doesn't say he's not officially coming back And also him being reported as not expected back doesn't mean that they did not try I fully believe and I trusted they did try Warwick has already made comments that he didn't want to do horror movies though before in the past That's why I tend to think that I hope anyway They did try and maybe he just doesn't want to do it or maybe as of now He just isn't expected to be back, but they are going to try even harder to get him back We'll just have to wait and see but you guys let me know shouldn't think about this down in the comment section below If you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification numbers video in the description I'll have links from social media accounts. I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there Of course, let me know there's any movies news or if you'd like me to cover in the future and with all that in Mind guys, I will see you in the next video
