Good. Okay, so people have really gotten on the Q&A bandwagon, so I'm excited to see some of these and see where we go with some of them. I'll try not to be too repetitive and one in particular I'm going to save till last because it's such a fun question. But I'll start with the very beginning so Jason this came from just almost the very start of your talk. So I just want to know how you address it now given everything we've talked about but let's see here. So we have a question from Kevin. We have new people attending our online service but the question is how do we engage with them. How do we develop and deepen the relationship with them. That's a great question. I appreciate you asking it. A couple things I think we need to keep in mind. Number one, we have to teach people that it's okay to chat and worship. They've never been allowed to do that before. It's a new way of thinking. In fact, I've been encouraging churches I'm working with. I'm right now coaching about 75 churches on both and worship and I'm encouraging churches to actually invite people to take their phones out and mute them so they can participate in the chat in the room as well. One of my favorite things to do is to do a digital passing of the piece. So take out your phone, mute it. Those of you in the room say hello to those who are worshiping at home and those of you who are at home. Let's greet one another in the name of Christ this morning. Number one, I think we have to teach them. Number two, nobody wants to go first. That's often what is the biggest barrier. And so I would encourage you to have a couple of plants. Ask a couple of people ahead of time. Hey, this weekend I'm going to ask a question. My question is going to be who is Jesus? You've got all week to think about it. Would you mind just putting something in there? There's a great video. You can check it out on YouTube. It's the first follower. It's a leadership lessons by a guy dancing. It's not exactly the title, but it's very similar to that. I saw Lin Sweet use it one time in a training. It shows this crowd of people and this guy gets up and he starts dancing real crazy and everybody's just staring at him. And then one other guy goes over and starts dancing with them and then two or three come over and then it's like a huge crowd and then it's everybody. And part of it is that nobody wants to go first, but once you get the pump primed and you teach your people how to chat, it really can open up lots of wonderful possibilities in worship. I love it. Thank you for that permission to get out our phones during worship. I noticed some people in the chat talked specifically about leading youth groups and how difficult that is. I know my youth group really enjoys when I say get out your phones.  So good. Thank you for that permission and just that new way of seeing things and, you know, we're open to it. Yeah. Okay, so another question is from Alan problem the online attend not participate nor financially support the church. Sure, we can do online contact a lot of people for a lot of people but the type of service and the emphasis of the service in reality is for the in person congregation, and it's different for them. Do we get more contemporary for a virtual audience or stay traditional for the in person congregation. Do you have Jason do you have comments on, you know, do we get more. We get more contemporary with online and we have to be more of the moment. I don't think that any certain worship style, you can do really great both then in per traditional and non traditional I don't think a worship style, the only worship style that I don't think works either way very well is blended worship because blended worship is everybody hates something in the in that service you know the people don't like the drums the other people don't like the hymns and you do hymns with drums and guitar and everybody hates it. What I would say is, and I wish you know I've got a whole two and a half hour training I do on that, almost all on that particular topic. It's hard to hit it quick but I would say number one, you got to teach people how to give, and you got to teach people why to give you have to tell the stories of where your offering is going. People don't want to give to pay the light bill they want to give to see lives transform so tell the story of where your offering goes, create a video interview somebody that's part of that soup kitchen that you serve or the backpacks that you fill up with school supplies you know show tell tell the stories people get excited about giving when you do that I think too many too many of us are just saying the link for the offerings in the chat or whatever, and we don't really walk people into why that's so important. Yeah, I think that that transcends pandemic even giving is that it's tricky. Thank you for that advice. I'm going to go to Robert he says church is community, but community is not always in the church, we must be in the community, be it in person or the internet. This is not going to change. What do we do to help redirect the church body to change old thinking and processes. So old thinking and processes specifically regarding community, Jason. Yeah, I wrote a book last year called from franchise to local dive that is really kind of about that particular subject that's about how to create a new recipe. And so much of it is the subtitle is multiplying your church by discovering your contextual flavor. The thing is is we should be be spending as much time outside the walls of our church, physically, as we do inside them. I know pastors that office at coffee shops so they intentionally get interrupted all day long so they get to know people in the community. It's really hard to create a recipe for worship, when you don't know the people that live around you and what their appetite is, and so on and so forth. The co author in the book talks about. He calls it exegeting the culture exegeting the culture around you you know getting to know the cultural context and asking those kind of questions so there's so much more I could say but but but not the time to say it at this moment but I that's where I get started get help people see the value of knowing your community because that will shape what you do and in your hybrid. You know worship outside the building. Thanks, and that sounds like you have some resources that will address specifically that, and that takes us, you know full circle back to even why we're here leaving the building redefining that community. And so, you know, thank you for sort of circling us back to there. So I have a question from Evelyn secure. Sorry. Okay, so Ellen says. And there are if so what are the new metrics okay so the question is what are the new metrics needed to evaluate our effective effectiveness in the new normal so that's a great question because, you know, our old the old metrics were. How many people were in worship. It was so much easier when we could just count butts and seats I know that's like the worst way to say that but you know that was the way that a lot of us did it. I don't think we know exactly yet, but I'll tell you this. Like I said I'm writing the both and book right now and I found this really interesting article that talked about how every major television network except for CBS, which use the oldest has decided to no longer take into account the real time ratings. Nielsen ratings have since 1952 are what determine whether show was successful or not. What they've recognized is that we consume content differently now so now they're looking at the DVR numbers and the streaming numbers over the live numbers so even in the entertainment industry they're having trouble figuring out a lot of movies now are releasing at the same time in the theater and at home. And so we have to think differently.  That's a different way to measure but I think that that's probably a better way to measure. Then then how many people how many warm bodies you had in the room anyway because these are the sold out Jesus followers who are actually making ministry happen.  So now we have a question from David we have a few or one third of the previous attendance is coming back to in person worship so only a third and online service is recorded separately. How do we engage and connect people who are watching online who have been disengaged from the church and I asked that knowing that some of the some of the words that I noticed coming through the chat or throughout the whole time today are things like I feel disengaged I feel I'm getting to getting to my list I took a good list. Okay, so people say I'm disconnected. It feels scary. You know, I'm struggling I'm grieving for what was once there so so we're talking about engaging connecting people who are watching online or who have disengaged from the church what are your thoughts on that. Well, I think that a couple of things are really important and I sort of hit a couple of these but first of all, you have to actually talk to them. You will lose people online like the novelty of this is over it's been over for a while. It was kind of exciting at first like oh churches online what are they going to do this week and you know there was almost a sense of intrigue and mystery about what was going to happen. I want to talk about in my, my both and webinar, one of which is creating more of a narrative thread in the worship that you create. Sometimes worship feels like it's a pageant, or a variety show where everybody gets up and they do their act. And oftentimes there's no relation from the music to the scripture reading to the children sermon to the adult sermon so we've got everybody kind of doing their own little thing. That sort of works in the room. I mean I could make an argument that it doesn't work in the room but in the room you have a captive audience at home. All I have to do is click a button and I can anonymously leave my pastor is not even going to know you wouldn't get up and walk out. Most likely if things didn't relate. So I think that's one part of it. I think that engaging folks through the chat, even if you're pre recording. There's a pastor that I'm coaching in Wisconsin who makes sure that she asks a question, and she pauses a moment. So that people can respond to it. It's pre recorded. She watches it live as it's happening and respond so the week I was with her she said, What's something you're thankful for this morning. I just want you to name it in the chat what's something you're thankful for someone said fresh strawberries. She's like oh I love fresh strawberries and someone said. I have a wonderful strawberry pie recipe and somebody else said I would really like that recipe and someone was like we count me in on that. And so all of this interaction and engagement happened because she designed it into the experience. And the last thing I would say is just just to be careful about your language. Here's one other little tip for you and I know we're coming up on our time here but you know we do communion now with these little hermetically sealed packs or whatever communion is this weird thing with hybrid worship where at home it often feels like we're just watching other people take communion we we don't get to participate. So one pastor I'm coaching right now in Savannah, Georgia. This was his idea not mine I, I've just been telling everybody about it. He calls it breaking the fourth wall. So some of you know that in film and television that's when like the actor talks to the camera so Ferris Bueller's day off what Cameron doesn't know is this is going to be the greatest day ever, and then he goes back into the scene. So here's what they do. He has a microphone that is, you know, the little countryman over by his mouth, and then he's got one clip to his collar that is for the online audience. What he'll do is he'll do the communion liturgy for everybody, including the people online, and then they turn this mic off in the house and then he like turns to the camera and he says, I have a few who are worshiping with us at home today. We are engaged in the act of holy communion. And so that's a sacrament and I can remember the first communion and so he spends the whole time now others are serving communion. He spends the whole time talking to people at home if you'd like to participate in communion here's how we do that. And then when he can see the room and when the room gets finished he'll say, let's rejoin the room and thank God for this wonderful feast that we've been a part of today. And then they turn that mic on and so there's this engagement thing that happens where people at home don't feel like they're an afterthought or spectators they're actually really a part of it. I'm sorry that probably went too long but awesome. No, and that's, you know, I love just how you're able to expand on sort of the questions that we have and so I really appreciate your wisdom on that so I have one more question that's kind of along the lines and then I'm going to end with kind of a fun question and then we can close this up in prayer. So Lonnie says, so along the lines of keeping people's focus and interacting with them in worship Lonnie says does anyone have ideas to keep keep folks going during the online, and they get bored so easily and you talked just a little bit about sort of that storytelling flow of worship you know one thing connects to the other. What would you address boredom in worship because like you said we have the option of turning it right off if we want to. Yeah, anything else to add on that. Well, a couple things. Number one, we've been allowed to be distracted in worship long before we had phones and things like that you know I when I remember when I was a kid counting ceiling tiles in the church because I was really bored. You know, part of it is just the, the expectation that you create when you create truly hybrid worship. My friend George Ashford that I mentioned a couple times with the amen corner his people know that when they tune in. He's going to say I want to see some hearts I want to see some thumbs up when I was with them in person he said I see sister Betty you have a comment he actually took his phone out while I was preaching sat it down he said I'm going to look at a comment here for me I'm going to look at the comments let me see what you are saying. And then he says sister Betty, I know you've been dealing with some stuff that's been really difficult, and he starts to. He starts quoting scripture, he starts preaching a sermon that only happened because that comment happened and so it actually helped shape the content of the worship experience. So there's a dialogue I talk about the idea that we move from monologue to dialogue. Now if we truly lean into this hybrid thing. People will not, they'll be much more interested in being a part of it if they feel like hey my comment could become part of the sermon. Here's something else you all might consider doing, and then I'll stop talking. And that is you might ask a reflection question at the beginning of worship and let those things collect so our reflection question today is, who is Jesus just put it in the chat who is Jesus to you. You might ask it again a little later or just want to remind you our question today is who is Jesus. And then in the sermon you might actually leave a moment to say, we've had some really excellent reflections on who Jesus is, Ruth.  I wish I could live into that I don't always do that as well. Lonnie, I saw that you said that Jesus is my all in all, when you hear your name. When you hear your thought your reflection. It's incredible it's like I'm part of it even though I'm not there and I think that that really curtail some of that boredom that we that we're talking about. So Jason once again, once again you've given us permission to do things in worship that maybe we haven't done before, you know be interactive in that way and so just the idea of thinking of worship in a new way I really appreciate. So our last question will be should be an easy one but it's kind of fun, and we'll end on that. So Daryl asked that your company midnight oil productions for everyone who's watching that's Jason's company midnight oil productions. Is that a reflection on the song midnight oil from Phillips Craig and Dean. No, no, I, when I started men I was on staff at gingersburg United Methodist Church, many years ago, and my partner and ministry at the time there at the church was writing a book called the wired church, and I did the CD ROM for it and so we said we need a production company for this just for fun, and we had just studied the story the 10 bridesmaids who had to keep the lamps lit and prepare for the master's return and so that was part of it and then I'm also a night owl. And I stay up too late too often and that's often the case so as dual meaning midnight burning the midnight oil but also, it was tied to that parable, and so that that's it. Some people ask me if it's the Australian rock band if that's why we named ourselves midnight oil the famous song about the beds burning and I'm like no that's that definitely has nothing to do. No, no but it does sound like you have some musical options if you ever you know need some background music. I used to get fan mail sometimes for them from at my website so. Good. Okay. Well, alright. I think we're ending our time today and we just can't express just how thankful we are for you being with us just pouring into us in this way and encouraging us as lady to go into our churches and and be the ministers that we're called to be and I thank you for that.

Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining the Santa Rosa Fire Department and the Office of Community Engagement for such an important and timely series on being wildfire ready. My name is Magali Teyes and I'm the Director of Community Engagement for the City of Santa Rosa. Buenos tardes a todos y gracias por su presencia y participación en este evento tan importante sobre cómo estar listos para los incendios forestales. Mi nombre es Magali Teyes y soy la Directora de Participación Comunitaria de la Ciudad de Santa Rosa. Si gustaría sintonizarse en español, pueda hacerlo haciendo click en el icono del globo que dice interpretation en el fondo de la pantalla. ASL interpretation is also provided and the interpreter will be spotlight for the duration of this webinar. To the presenters this evening, please make sure to speak as clearly as possible to allow for Spanish and ASL translation. To get us started, I would like to introduce Fire Chief Scott Westrop. Thank you, Magali. And I just want to take a moment to thank Director Teyes and her entire team for developing this program, putting it together and working with the fire department and other city departments to to really express a very important message and this is our fourth day of doing these types of events. Each one has been a little bit different. But I wanted to explain why we decided to do this. And again, this was, this was Magali's brainchild and we're just kind of following along here and trying to help where we can. But with all that this community has gone through, we really see that the fires create a common bond. It's a bond of resiliency, strength and unfortunately trauma. We have collectively shown what a resilient community looks like and how that strength unites us. I truly believe as has been evidenced in the last four years that we are stronger together. That's not only the fire department, it's not the city, it's the entire community. This series was designed for us to talk about where we have been, where we are going, how to heal personally and as a community, and how to be more prepared and in control of the elements of what we can control. As we all know with with wildfires mother nature has the ultimate say so anything that we can do to be holistically prepared will benefit all members of the community and make us all stronger. The fourth session will discuss lessons learned from the 2017 Sonoma County wildfires in the 2020 glass fire and the improvements that have been made to emergency preparedness and emergency management. This workshop will also discuss evacuation routes for residents in the city of Santa Rosa limits tools and resources for evacuating and information information about emergency alerts and notifications. The changes we have seen an emergency preparedness over the last several years has been remarkable. It's not a fire department public safety city or county effort alone. This is a whole community approach to changes that leads to improvement and resiliency. These changes are working but we can be better. For instance if we look at the tubs fire alone and exclude the nuns fire within the city limits, we lost nine lives and almost 3100 structures. In the last fire we lost zero lives and lost 32 structures. Our common goal should be a net zero loss. Again, we are not in this effort alone and we are not done. Regardless of how the fire department and city have improved to face this new normal, the community deserves a bulk of the credit. This is a major shift in preparation, engagement, awareness and reactivity by the community. And if it wasn't for all of you, we couldn't do our jobs. Before I turn it over to the next set of speakers, I'd like to remind everyone that Spanish translation is available and American sign language interpretation is obviously available as well. With that I'd like to introduce emergency preparedness manager, Neil Bregman and assistant fire marshal, Paul Lowenthal. Hi Scott. I'm going to get right into our slideshow here. It's both Paul and I, there may be a couple times where I pause and say Paul, why don't you take this one. So just bear with us but but this is kind of a dual presentation by both Paul and Neil. And with that, let me share my screen. Okay, so Neil Bregman, Paul Lowenthal will have our information at the end as well. If you need to contact us for any questions. I'd like to start with going over the differences between the various alert systems that we use to notify the public regarding an emergency. And for all of these that we use all of them or at least a multiple number of them in any particular emergency, depending on its size. Also many of these involve multiple technologies, and they are not 100% or silver bullets, which is why we use multiple tools to make sure that everyone gets the message in case one tool doesn't work. We use a different tool as well to make sure that we're reaching as many members of our community as we can. And the one alert that isn't on here that I actually want to start with is actually our community, like Chief Westrup just brought up this isn't an effort just by police or fire or emergency management. We need you our community members to be a part of this as well. We're probably already signed up for the alert systems we're going to go over today. But sometimes we have members of our community who are either not signed up. I'd like you to try and help them get registered, or there are members who are signed up and like I just talked about none of these communication tools is foolproof. As we are helping neighbors, neighbors making sure neighbors are aware as an evacuation or some other emergency happening is a critical piece of our system. We will always use all of our tools and notify as many as many members of our community as we can. There just may be times that not all the tools work. And we have to ask you neighbors helping neighbors going and knocking on each other's doors as you evacuate to make sure everyone in your area has gotten the message that's a key critical piece on top of all these systems. So now going through the alerts. I'll start at the top with the emergency alert system, or EAS. This is the system that is on radio and television and has that audible tone that many times will cut into a broadcast. This system is regional. We have been asked by the state and federal authorities to reserve using that for only the largest evacuations. So it would have to be probably multiple zones within the city. Or a very large incident for us to use that one because even though our message will be targeted to get information to community members in Santa Rosa. That message will go out for the entire Bay Area broadcast area. The one down is wireless emergency alert or we are. Now this one just like EAS no registration is required, as long as your cell phone is on that and the audible tones are available so not on vibrate on the side of your iPhone you have to make sure your ringer is flipped on. So as that is on, when we do a message using the wireless emergency alert, your phone will have a tone, and you will get a message that's anywhere from 90 to 360 characters based upon the model of phone you have. Wireless emergency alert is one of our primary evacuation alerting tools. The key about wireless alert is that it works in the area where we draw a box. As far as where we think people should be evacuated from. If your cell phone is within that box. You should get the alert. I say should because there are differences from carrier to carrier. As far as who they interpret being within our geographic or geo fenced wireless emergency alert box. AT&T is much more liberal with who they consider to be in the box versus say Verizon AT&T in fact will hit any phone that is connected to a cell tower that is in our geographical boundary. Unlike Verizon where your cell phone itself must be within the geographical boundary for it to learn. So the system has those issues and is not 100% foolproof. We also recommend that everyone who's a resident of Santa Rosa, or really all Sonoma County, sign up for the third one down here which is an opt in system called so color. And we'll give you information later on how to register but the key is you do need to go and register for this one. The other thing about it is you can register as many locations as you want an alert about. So your house, your kids school, your parents house, grandma and grandpa's house, doggy daycare, as many places as you care about, go and register those for all the phone calls that you would want information about that on. The really great thing about so color is that in evacuation, you will get a phone call your phone will ring. And we will give you information, along with email and text, but also via a phone call with a recorded message. It's also a little bit different than our next system down Nixle. Nixle is only email and text, and it is not geographic specific in the same way that we are so color are it's only by zip code, and it will never give you a phone call. If you want a phone call with recorded message, letting you know that there's an emergency and you may need to evacuate you need to be registered for so color. Nixle will not do that. The last one down on our list of know your alerts is TV and local radio. So I from doing that EAS where we blast something on television and radio, our public information team makes contact with our locally broadcast stations, and gives them pertinent information like locations of shelters, temporary evacuation points or other resources. What you're seeing here are our high low sirens. Aside from using all the systems that I just went through police and fire vehicles in Santa Rosa have a high low tone. That means only evacuation available on their cars. You hear that tone. If you hear the high low, it's time to go. One other system that I want to mention is the NOAA weather radios that is new for this year. We received a grant for 12,000 radios from FEMA, and we've been doing radio giveaways to targeted neighborhoods within our wildland urban interface to begin with the next one is for our Northwest zone, which is June 12. After that, we have two citywide events and again will give you information at the end regarding locations, but that is open to all city residents to come get a free NOAA weather radio. The radios will tone out anytime there's an evacuation anywhere in Sonoma County. Unfortunately, we can't narrow those evacuation notices down to just Santa Rosa. We think it's a great tool because it's battery backup doesn't rely on cell phones relies on radio instead will work if we have a public safety power shut off, or some other type of power system. And finally, aside from having an audible tone for our death members of the community or hard of hearing, the NOAA weather radios can have attachments on them that have a bench shaker and a strobe light. If anyone who is interested in those attachments for the NOAA weather radio, feel free to contact me, especially if we need those attachments we have a grant for those and we're working with a community partner, who works with our deaf community to give those out. Now on this slide I'd like to go over a few of our enhancements that we've made since October 2017. The first one is anytime we have a red flag warning, which is when we have very dry conditions low humidity and a likelihood of high winds. We upstaff in other words we bring more fire crews on, aside from our day to day fire crew and operations to make sure we have enough resources to deal with any fire emergency that might arise. And finally a Santa Rosa program, that's county wide, we upstaff or bring more crews on the fire crews throughout the county whenever there's a red flag warning. The next one down here are our wildfire cameras. There's a system of cameras all over the North Bay, looking from on the, on high hills, looking at the valleys and other areas that might be prone to wildfire. And those cameras are available for the public to look at, but also our dispatch center, which is monitoring them 24 seven. That that is already proven itself to be an excellent resource we've been able to see any number of fires when they start early, which allows us to get our crews and resources there to care of those situations before they become large. And if they do become large, because we have the cameras we are well aware of what direction they're coming in, we have significantly more time if we need to let the community know that they have an evacuation warning or order. This year we've improved the wildfire cameras, in that we now have an artificial intelligence software system that monitors the cameras, along with humans. The artificial intelligence looks for signs of smoke on any of the cameras and if it sees something that might be a fire and alerts humans to go and take a further look. This again has already saved us minutes and identifying potential wildfires this fire season. Another element that we have made is we now have what's called a warm emergency operation center. In 2017, our emergency operation center, which is the room in which we coordinate our overall response was cold, meaning we had to go into it when the fire started, turn on the lights, move around tables and chairs, and plug our computers in. And it's a big room that could take 30 to 30 minutes to an hour. That's a critical time to really be making sure that you and our community have all the information they need that we are coordinating our efforts and that we are getting our job done not setting up tables and chairs. Last year, we moved our EOC to a different location where we can keep it warm and ready to go all the time. In fact, we saw that pay off in the glass fire. As soon as we had an issue and we knew that we needed to activate our EOC in the glass fire, we're all immediately able to get to the EOC and get to work. There was no lag time, there was no 45 minutes of setting up. Another new feature that we saw last year, which we'll cover forward are temporary evacuation. Normally, in the past, when people are evacuating, they understand we want to find a place or location to go to. It takes us some time to get our emergency shelters set up. What we learned during COVID is that temporary evacuation points are essentially safe places that you can go park, be greeted by city staff and potentially the American Red Cross, and either figure out your own next step from a safe location, or get assistance from staff for figuring out if you need shelter or some other accommodation. We now have temporary evacuation points. The city has one ready to go anytime there's all red flag warnings as well. Paul, why don't you cover the notifications and those improvements on the checklist there? Thanks, Neil. So yes, a lot has been learned. A lot of changes have been made that have ultimately led to the successes that we saw most recently in 2020. In 2017, that was clearly something none of us ever wanted to go through, didn't clearly expect to have something of that magnitude impact our community.  With that, we have been absolutely dedicated to improving our processes, improving how we utilize these systems and making our community more resilient and safer in the event of another wildfire. In 2020, we were able to actually watch what was originally the shady fire develop at the Napa Sonoma County line. Much different than in 2017 when we were literally fighting the fires and moving into the city and evacuating people at the same time. In the 2020 fires, we were able to actually see the fire develop and immediately start putting our systems in place. Before units had even arrived at scene, the Santa Rosa fire department, police department and our emergency management had already scheduled a conference call, knowing the potential of the impacts to our city, almost instantaneously. The plans that we've had in place since 17 that have been developed over the last several years were never intended to sit on a shelf and they were immediately implemented, all the way down to the point of bringing Spanish translators and as we were literally responding and arriving to the scene. With that, the law enforcement initiated their evacuations of the two tone Hilo sirens. We initiated multiple evacuations for our zones that were developed throughout the east side of the city of Santa Rosa. Community members were able to utilize a lot of the tools and resources that you're going to see over the next several slides as far as evacuation checklist zones to implement what we feel was extremely successful evacuation. We benefited that night from having what we refer to as a night air attack there happened to already be a night air attack flying on the glass fire. It was burning in Napa County. When that air attack was shifted over to the Napa Sonoma County line they were able to tell us the amount of time roughly two to three hours before Santa Rosa was going to be impacted by fire, which enabled us to feel comfortable with that number of evacuation zones and that amount of time, knowing that there would be traffic but knowing that we had the ability to get people out of harm's way with the hours that we had before the fire moved in. And the successes were truly noticeable as our firefighters were able to move in a neighborhoods and successfully fight the fire. If you look at how we had roughly 100,000 people evacuating during the tubs and the thousands of homes that were destroyed as we're fighting to move to get in as people are fighting to get out. In 2020, it was amazing to see once the traffic cleared how firefighters were able to move into the neighborhoods and clearly be able to move around neighborhoods unobstructed and only have roughly 30 homes that were destroyed. I don't want to see any homes destroyed. One note is that if you look at the total number of homes impacted by fire in the city limits there were 1152 properties impacted by fire in the glass fire and only 30 plus structures destroyed. That speaks volumes the enhancements and how things worked out so much better in 2020. And they did in 2017. So like I mentioned, every, every all the material that you see today will be available at srcity.org slash ready SR. There's a chance to get down all the info you see today, you can go there and there are links to the evacuation zones, the checklists, you can review know your alerts and how to opt into so color. You will also be able to find your neighborhood travel routes, which we will talk about in a minute as well. Let's talk about our city of Santa Rosa evacuation zones. So our zones remain unchanged from last year. We know that the Sonoma County just released a great map, which shows an integration of both city and county zones throughout Sonoma County. The county has changed some of the names and boundaries for its zones. Our zones remain unchanged from when they were released well over a year ago. I highly suggest that before our next emergency, you go and look up what your zone is, write it down and put it on your refrigerator. There's a zone look up tool. Again at srcity.org bash back slash ready SR. There's a section on evacuation zones. When you click on that you will see this find your evacuation zone address look up tool. Please go and look up your zone and make sure you know it ahead of time. If you have issues finding your zone you can call 211 and they will help you locate your zone. It's really a critical piece we saw that our ability to quickly get information to our community in 2020. In the glass fire was contingent upon people knowing their zones and us being able to communicate quickly, which zones need to be evacuated. If we just go over very quickly, the different terminology you might see in the evacuation notice and there are three of them. There's an evacuation order, and that means you must evacuate immediately there's a threat to your life. Don't wait. Don't hesitate. You have to go. An evacuation warning means that there's a threat to life and property within a particular timeframe. We'll try if we can to communicate that timeframe, but it means that if you haven't yet, you need to pack your go bag, get your car together and be ready to leave. This is the get set mode. It is possible that you will get an evacuation order very quickly after a warning. Sometimes fire conditions change and even though we think we may have an hour or more between a warning and an order. The wind can pick up or the people in the field who know about fire behavior may quickly even after we have issued a warning moments later say no that needs to become an order. We need people to leave now. Please sign up for SoCo Alert and pay attention to all those other alerts we talked about. If you do need to evacuate, I'll remind you again, neighbors helping neighbors is a critical piece of our system. Please go knock on the doors of your neighbors around you, especially if you know that there are certain neighbors who maybe are elderly, slower, more vulnerable, or have a disability that makes it difficult for them to process information. It may need just the help of knowing that it's time to go. And then finally, our third type of evacuation notice, which would probably be for something different than a wildfire is a shelter in place. And in that case, we'd ask you to stay where you are. Keep your doors and windows closed. And we would then send you an all clear when the situation had changed and you were free to no longer shelter in place. Next topic is polls neighborhood evacuation or sorry exit routes. Thanks Neil. So one of the first efforts we started moving forward with before we officially developed our plans was our neighborhood exit routes. It became important for us after watching a lot of the lessons learned around not only the North Bay but really around the state. And that is, residents understand that the way that they typically would leave a neighborhood may not be the way that they should leave the neighborhood in the event of an evacuation. We started breaking up Santa Rosa into different neighborhoods and showing people the different ways that they could get out of their neighborhood and that we recommend that they get out of their neighborhood. The neighborhood routes again were designed to get people to start thinking about alternate travel routes. Unfortunately, on a smaller incident that could develop within the city limits, it would not be uncommon to have law enforcement in your neighborhood telling you exactly which way to go. That is a pretty common occurrence. Fortunately, we don't have as many fires of that magnitude or that size in the city limits. We pride ourselves on the amount of staffing and the firefighters that we have that we're able to a majority of the time with the incidents that start within the city limits keep them relatively small and to the point they never even show up in the press Democrat. However, there are times as we've seen where Santa Rosa has historically been impacted by account by fires that develop outside of the city and impact our city. That highlights the importance of understanding the different ways that you can leave your neighborhood. During the glass fire, knowing that we had several hours in advance for people to empty out of the neighborhoods. We noticed a lot of residents automatically going to the same route that they would typically go to, and it did create traffic, however, as we stated earlier, we're fully aware of that potential and that's why you saw the amount of law in multiple agencies across Sonoma County, staffing various intersections, knowing that we had the several hours to get people out of the east side of Santa Rosa. However, it did highlight the importance of taking the dirt the travel routes that may not be the most common travel route. For example, in Skyhawk, we are aware and we've heard from several people, the amount of traffic that was backed up for people trying to get down to Highway 12 and Calistoga Road. So people would have taken the chance to go the opposite direction on Sonoma Highway, perhaps towards Warm Springs Road or Bennett Valley Road and wrap back around towards Highway 12. Or taking Calistoga Road the opposite direction towards Montecito or side streets. There was the potential to help disperse some of that traffic. Our goal is to make sure that people understand the importance of using those alternate travel routes. They may look a lot longer, but they can help save some of that backup if we have to go through something like this again. If there was a need to quickly evacuate an area in a much shorter amount of time, then the travel routes that you would typically go to that are used on the know your ways out would be pushed away and law enforcement would be directing you in very specific directions at a harm's way. The next topic is evacuation checklists. Again at SRCity.org backslash ready SR, you'll find an a wildfire evacuation checklist, which gives you lists of things that you can build in and put in your go bag, as well as tips on preparing your home. If you need to evacuate, as well as a few tips on driving and being safe while you're evacuating during a fire. I really want to stress that now is the time to look up that evacuation zone. I want to point out your neighborhood travel routes or know your ways out that Paul just talked about and put those on your refrigerator print out this evacuation checklist. And if you have had not had time yet to build your go back. Building a go bag is not something you will have the time, especially under stress to be doing once that evacuation warring or order comes. That's either time to get your car packed and be ready. Or you can just go it is not the time to start building your back. What do you want to have in your bag. Some basic food and water, we will surely give you food and water when you arrive at a temporary evacuation point or shelter. It may just be a little while before we can get those resources. Things like prescription medication, eyeglasses, a phone charger, comfortable clothes. Any important documents, photographs or things that you find irreplaceable should be in a go bag or handy to grab when it's time to evacuate. Some people even caught talk about a 10 and 10. What are the 10 things, if you only had 10 minutes right now, that are the most important to you that you would go and grab if you needed to rebuild your life with nothing else. Think about what those 10 things are and gather them together and put them in your go back, or at the very least know what your list is and be ready to grab them and go immediately if you get an evacuation order, or to go and put that stuff in your car if you get that evacuation warning. I will also stress one other piece of information regarding evacuation warnings, even though it's not mandatory that you leave at that time. It's not a bad idea to actually go to avoid the traffic Paul just talked about, or if you're just stressed by the fact that you're now in an evacuation warning zone, or area, going somewhere that's outside of that area for your own safety, and relief and lack of stress would be super helpful, for you, but for first responders. And here's just a few more examples of the things not only does it talk about preparing you and your pets. It talks about how on the checklist you can prepare inside your home in the areas outside of your home. Right now, today to be ready since we've now started fire season to get ready in case there is a fire. And you need to evacuate. So again, all of this can be found at srcity.org back slash ready SR, and I will leave Paul and my information up here for a second, if you wish to contact one of us. Thank you, Neil. So, you know to close out on Neil's checklist our goal truly is is to set our community up for success. Again, if you look at how far we've come since 2017, the documents, the guidance the information that we're preparing truly is for our community to help protect our community. The checklists will help you. We saw the successes of people utilizing the checklist utilizing a lot of the measures that we've been discussing over the last several days as far as defensible space and home hardening. And coupled with the use of the checklist of what to do before they leave lead to successes left and right. Chief Scott Westrope and myself were in Oakmont during the glass fire and watched the fire move into the Oakmont neighborhood, and it was clear that people truly did heed to the warnings. We've used a lot of the resources and tools again as far as defensible space and home hardening vegetation management we debatement and ultimately preparing their homes, all the way down to moving door mats off doorways, locking and securing doors and windows. Because we're utilizing the tools and resources that we have to give early notification to our community to allow them the time to evacuate and to put all those processes in place. With that, we know this is a topic that we often get a lot of questions, comments and or feedback regarding. We have with us tonight. Sergeant Chris Mahurn from the Santa Rosa Police Department. Adrian Martins, our inner government and chief communications officer for the city of Santa Rosa. Adrian, Chris, Neil and myself are, as we typically are here for our community. We have a lot of questions and we want to make sure that you the viewers have the opportunity to get things clarified to help clean up any misunderstandings and ultimately give you information from us. Make sure that you can leave here tonight, knowing that you've got valuable information and got your questions answered. So with that, I will let Shelly step in. Have a question at this time. If you have any questions, feel free to raise your hand, or if you're not comfortable talking and you want to put a question into the chat box. Please do so. And it might also be a good time as we're, there's your first question. We have a appreciation for everything you're doing. Yeah, it looks like there's a hand up from a Jane.  Can you hear me now. Yes, we can. I too appreciate everything you've been doing and I live near Oakmont and during the glass fire and we were evacuating. I wanted to go towards Sonoma instead of towards Santa Rosa, but I didn't know if it was safe to go in that direction I didn't know exactly where the fire was. I just had to tell so I just followed the herd and it took me three hours I need to get to the middle and grows it but I mean we did make it and thanks to law enforcement we got redirected to some other routes. But I don't know how to deal with that in the, in that kind of situation. If we don't know if it's safe to go another way. Thank you. And so that's a, that's a good question and good feedback and kind of what we talked about. There are times where if they're, if we do truly need people to go in a, in a direction to escape harms way. The law enforcement partners in often often will help guide traffic in that direction, or it may be that the emergency message that you receive. In addition to evacuate the specific zone may tell you a direction to move in. I totally understand what you're saying. We'll look at different processes or potential to work on that messaging should we have to do that again. But if you're are if you are not pushed in a specific direction. That's goes back to the importance of the know your ways out where we're trying to get people to not follow the masses and go the direction they typically are all moving towards and and to and to go the opposite way. If there's any other questions, or if there's anything that Adrian or Chris want to share. Yeah, I would just like to mention one thing and Neil reference the website a lot and that's where you can find all the information that was covered tonight but the city is also in the process of mailing and emergency preparedness guide to all of our households throughout Santa Rosa. We're about it's a phased mailing we're about a third of the way through that we've covered most of the household, or we've covered all of the household within our wild and urban interface but for those that haven't received their emergency preparedness guide in the mailing you should be getting it in about the next one to two weeks in the mail so be on the lookout for that. It also has information on the no weather radio distribution events that Neil mentioned. We have a page booklet and has information, as I said on most of what was covered tonight by Neil and Paul. We have a question asking what other informational events will be coming up. But information as far as a series like this will occur again next year. We are already in discussions about doing this again and making it a bigger event, hopefully drawing our, you know, much more of our community. However, as far as information. Right now, a lot of improvements as Adrian had said have been made to our web content. One of the action items that came out of what we refer to as our community wildfire protection plan, which was a plan implemented in August of last year that was developed to help mitigate the risks associated with wildfire identified a need to centralize information for our community. So we are now pushing our community to two websites. The one Adrian gave the information on for the ready SR. And the second website is SR city.org forward slash wildfire ready. Those two websites will become the hub for both emergency preparedness and wildfire readiness for our community. A lot of what will be coming this year could be everything from preparedness in the event of shipping programs to implementation of potential grants to additional community meetings. Those plans will be moving forward with feverishly. As you saw, you may have seen recently. We have been given five and a quarter million dollars from the PGD settlement funds. That is also helping to offset potential cost share of additional grants that the city of Santa Rosa has been actively working on for several years now. Since 2017, we have been trying to apply for several grants to help with education engagement, as well as physical activities done in our community to make things safer. We do have right now, upwards of roughly $7 million worth of grants that we are working on, literally almost daily to get those move forward. Hopefully it will be successful grants that will help push a lot more activities and ability for us to engage with our community moving forward. Thank you. We have one comment says 4000 people in Oakmont wondering whether to turn to Sonoma or Santa Rosa. It would be great to have advice if we went to soon. We went to Sonoma. We are going to look at some of the IE options. Got it. Yeah, no, we will take that information and look to see how we can potentially make it clear that there are multiple ways out if we do have to evacuate that magnitude again. Next question is asking about the evacuation tax. From the police department, we don't use evacuation tags in Santa Rosa. They are effective in some rural areas because of long driveways that could be a quarter mile long and have one family there and it takes up a lot of resources to get out there. Internally what we do within the city because we are more of a dense population. We at the police department have practiced over the years since 2017. We have a grid like evacuation process with our first responders and working with other ways of getting people out whether it's our transportation department as well. So even if we were to see an evacuation tag on a door, we're still going to go and check the residents to make sure that everyone's evacuated. We keep using the layered approach of notifications as well. Realistically when it comes towards evacuation notices. That's just to say someone's probably not in there. There's no guarantee that someone didn't put that on a door and something happened when they went to Google back and get a bag or whatnot. So we want to make sure best that we can that everyone has evacuated out of there. And that comes down to really just checking door to door once we have that time and resources to do that. So that's the main reason we avoid them at this point. Thank you. I have a question I have a thank you so much for the effort and technology that will help us survive the next fire season and thank you for the greater piece of mind. Comment. Looks like golly has a couple questions that she wants to read, or is that the ones that are already taken care of. I believe that is them. Yeah, that's it. Great. And unless any of the other panelists have anything they would like to close out on. I'm not sure if I'm stealing my golly's thunder, but I will just mention that this meeting recording will be available on our website, along with the other workshops that were held throughout the rest of this week. We have a series of four workshops and those will be available. All of them will be up and posted later this evening at srcd.org forward slash wildfire ready. So thank you for those that are still here stuck around been here either tonight or throughout the week. We appreciate it we look forward to future opportunities to continue to engage with our community. To make our community more resilient and prepared for wildfires locally and throughout our region. We appreciate the opportunity for being here and look forward to engaging again. If you have any questions or anything that comes to mind feel free to reach out to us by email at srfd at srcity.org. Thank you.


There's been a great deal of noise around neobattery materials recently, and you've had a series of news releases starting with your most recent one about the South Korean silicon anode commercial plant. Would you like to start there? Yes, so we've actually just made our final contract with our preferred contractor in South Korea. So by mid-August, so just next month, we will start our pre-construction phase. This involves the site clearance as well as the basic foundational work as well as civil engineering. So we want to get right to work so that we can have our commercial plant commercialized by the first half of 2024. And I believe that to this preferred contractor as well as the file contract has come at the right time so that we can accelerate our silicon anode commercialization at the right time, Tracy. And if I recall, you're not just working on a plant in South Korea, you're also working on one in the United States. Is that correct? Yes, that is right. So in Cincinnati, Ohio, we've actually set up our private American subsidiary called MBM America LLC in which we are going to open an R&D facility to have better facilitation of our materials as well as sample evaluations, better relationship building in the US and other North American players. But also on top of this in Canada, we are either considering Ontario or Quebec to build another R&D facility so that we can have greater contact points with battery manufacturers that are constructing gigafactories in Ontario and other battery material players that are going to be crucial in the Canadian EV battery supply chain as well. You've had tremendous success with your R&D programs. You recently announced, and I say recent, you've had numerous news releases just this month that you're going to upsize your South Korean R&D scale up center for pre-commercialization development. How about you just explain to our listeners who probably knew the Neo battery materials and go, Hey, look at this stock. Let's find out more. Tell us more about what you're planning to do there. Yes. So in a short form, our space wasn't enough to handle what we are capable of. So our pipeline in terms of our customer pipeline as well as our material evaluation pipeline, they have been growing ever since we initiated our R&D. So to have much more production capacity as well as evaluation equipment, we'll be moving on to Gyeonggi Techno Park, which is a much larger facility that will be able to accommodate the needs that we have in terms of material production as well as better relationship building because we are being located in one of the epicenters battery production as well as battery research in South Korea. So we believe that this will be the necessary crucial step before we go on to our commercial plant in 2024. And for those of you waiting for me to ask Danny what to anticipate in this upcoming quarter, I'm not going to do that. We're going to interview you again in the next three to four weeks. And then we're going to ask you then I recommend everybody go to the Neo Battery Materials website immediately just to catch up on the news from the last four weeks. Thank you so much, Danny, for taking time out of your busy schedule to provide us with an update on Neo Battery Materials. Thank you so much, Tracy.


Hey guys, this is hydro for match rates and in this video I'm gonna be going over weekly analysis weekly overview and then take a look at the big cap tech stocks And then take a look at the best stock setting up for the upcoming week So as usual, we'll start off looking at the indices. So let's take a look at SPY first So this is the weekly chart. So two major uptrends, right? This is the first trend that has started in 2023 and then this is another steeper trend that has started recently and So far the SPY has been holding this deeper trend. So this is perfectly normal action, although we pulled back in pretty hard last week So although We pulled back in pretty hard at the trends still holding so that's fine And it would be completely normal to consolidate high enough and then see that 453 break out That 453 level is definitely a very significant level rejected here One is rejected twice three times now rejected again Try to break out last last week and then this week it failed Yeah, but 444 Is a very important support level if that breaks then we could see a bigger pullback to this other uptrend line But overall still healthy action as that uptrend line is still holding So there's a good chance that we could also see a pullback to 442 just to fill that gap Yeah, I think there's a very good chance of that happening and then we could potentially bounce from there But if we don't bounce from there, then we could see a bigger pullback to this trend line So although it's looking bearish right now It is short term bearish, but still we are definitely still in a very strong uptrend, right? So keep that in context, right? So we're a short term bearish, but long term bullish still since top ten lines We're still holding But yeah, that's pretty much it for SPY So QQQ is a little bit weaker because it's already breaking this lower or this more recent uptrend line, but It makes sense why is that happening because QQQ is just super extended right really strong here so far so a bigger pullback would make sense and Yeah, it really hasn't had much rest The last big pullback was in March So since then it hasn't had a really it had had a yeah It really had no really big pullback since then so this is perfectly normal action We had a really strong rally and how we're pulling back and some consolidation would be good here And the key support level would be that 370 so we want to make sure that level holds if that level does not hold Then we could see a bigger pullback But I also gap up a gap here to fill a 368 So there's a very good chance that I could fill that gap and then bounce but if it fails to bounce from there Then you could see a bigger pullback to this trend line But still overall Bullish action because this is the major uptrend line and as long as that holds then we are still technically in an uptrend even though short-term we are looking a little bit bearish and potentially we could see Couple months of consolidation and just tighten up and stay in that range from 382 to 370 But overall still bullish action a short-term bearish right now Now we'll take a look at some of the individual big tech stocks start off with Apple Apple had earnings last week And it dropped pretty pretty hard, right? Take a look the weekly chart. So the 181 level is a key support level So if we're gonna bounce that would be where we should bounce Apple did break this up trend and now Yeah, now it's falling pretty pretty hard, right? Take a look at the daily chart really ugly drop on Friday from earnings, but Yeah, we'll see what Apple can do if Apple fails to bounce at 181 Then next support level would be around that 172 level and if that fails to hold to then Like support level would be at the 156 level, but Yeah, I think that 172 level will hold for sure If we do break that 181 level So that gap and then bounce potentially but right now definitely short-term bearish on Apple It needs a lot of rest because it had such a powerful rally this entire year, right? So some rest and some pullback would be good here But yeah, that's pretty much it for Apple. Take a look at AMD So AMD also had earnings this week it actually gapped up I think it didn't gap up, but I had Open tired on earnings and then close below, but now it's bouncing back again So on the daily chart that once is 17 level as a clear resistance level It's actually starting to form a little flag here So very clear resistance level here, right? Every time you touch the resistance is rejected You know, it actually tried to break on Friday as well, but close below So I think potentially and he's gonna turn up here turn up here consolidate more and then they can break out in either direction But yeah, for now AMD is fine Just the it's probably just gonna consolidate for a couple more days and then you can see a potentially big break out in Either direction. Yeah, the 120 ish level is a key resistance level and the 106 107 is a key support level Next up, we'll take a look at Amazon. I'm zone actually get up on there on earnings Or the weekly chart So Amazon looks pretty good here It's been had a really nice rally, but it was a slow and controlled rally So that's good action never got to extended then a console did it console did it for a couple weeks here and I'll find a book that 137 level and It's looking pretty good here, right next the resistance level Surround that 147 level and I think we could potentially see that next week before you get continuation But since the market's bullish, I mean since the market is very short-term right now, I think We'll probably see Amazon just chopper on for a little bit But yeah, overall I've been earnings really strong gap up But close but close that pretty weak because of the market conditions But yeah, we'll see if that 136 level becomes those a port level and it bounces off that But overall good action on Amazon. Next up, we'll take a look at Google Go to the weekly chart So Google had a really nice breakout last last week and now it's consolidating here So this is perfectly healthy action as long as that 127 level holds This is perfectly healthy action for Google and the next target would be that 136 level. Oh, yeah, that's pretty much it for Google Holding up pretty well Nice stuff meta Meta also has been holding up incredibly well Really really really strong rally this entire year And now it's just consolidating it's been consolidating for the past four weeks and some more consolidation would be good But yeah, next target for meta would be that 350 level But yeah, I would really like to see more consolidation because this one just had an insane Be powerful rally. So more consolidation would be good here And that's the Microsoft So Microsoft had a pretty ugly reversal a couple weeks ago Try to break out and then failed so that 345 level was definitely a key resistance level now It's starting to break down a little bit harder Support level is around a 3.4 level. So good chance We're gonna test that this week or this upcoming week And we'll see if we can bounce off that if we don't bounce off that we can see a much bigger Pull back all the way down to three yet mine, but overall good action A short term bearish also look at that Distribution volume the last three weeks, right? That's definitely not a good sign Next up Netflix So Netflix has been consolidating for quite some time now one two three four five six and eight weeks And stuck in between the 450 and 420 range So very simple case for Netflix, right? If it breaks that 450 level then be bullish on it If it breaks that 420 support level then be bearish on it overall good action on Netflix It's just consolidating after a nice move up Next up Nvidia So Nvidia had really Nvidia's been extremely strong this entire year Now Gapped up. I think this was the Remember to the day they tried So starting to form a longer bullfight here, right? This gap up very strong. That's been It's been grinding up higher this since then right after that earnings gap up It's been grinding higher and higher and now it's making a longer bull flag here and earnings are gonna come up soon Think a 23 so a couple more weeks, but you know, we'll see if And media can continue just consolidate continue to consolidate and from the bull flag but on the weekly chart Yeah, it's just forming a bull flag here again. It's just consolidating four weeks of consolidation so far perfectly healthy action We want to see it get tighter and tighter potentially like three these three weeks of consolidation This was a very clean set up right Let's it was consolidating very tightly and then I had that clear for 30 breakout level here It's consolidating just like before but it's not tight, right? It's wider than loose So you want to see more tight action for a good risk reward set up overall Pretty good action and you want to see that 470 level breakout for an excellent go Next up, we'll take a look at Tesla So Tesla has been acting bearish ever since earnings And not a great earnings report and it tried to bounce but failed So short term downtrend naturally starting to form here For the last four weeks So we can break that trend line and very good chance that we could see a rally back up to 284 But right now it's definitely a little bit bearish and they could potentially see Move back to 247 which is a key support level, but overall not too bearish on Tesla had a very nice run Now it's consolidating here Potentially just needs a few more weeks of consolidation and tighten up and they and it can potentially break out again But yeah, overall not too bad on Tesla or not too bad action on Tesla either Now we'll take a look at how good stocks are doing. So we'll take a look here. Okay, okay? Go to the daily chart So Eric a KK had a very nice breakout from the 45 level really nice rally and I'll go extended Back in practice rally again, and I'll pull back in pretty hard right? It's been acting very volatile recently and That 45 level is a key support level. So we should bounce off there But if we don't then very good chance that we go back into this chop, right? But yeah, the 45 love was very important and we need to bounce off there Otherwise we could just go back into consolidation, but Taking a look at the weekly chart Yeah, we were forming a nice consolidation pattern here three weeks and then this week we dumped pretty hard So yeah, like I said again a 45 love was very important if we don't bounce off it and go back into this range But if we do bounce off it and we get back through that 50 level next the resistance level would be 52 All right, now we'll take a look at some of the stocks that have been acting well and Potentially get set up super next week. So GDRX had a really strong tap up here really strong volume and now it's starting to form a right now it's Has a very clear resistance level at that 9.25 level and you want to see a few more days of consolidation I'd see if it forms some sort of flag for us to take a trade off or right now it's too wide right you want to see tighten up more and then Yeah, just consolidate for a few more days and then potentially can make a big break out Taking a look at the weekly chart It says a lot of upside potential because yeah used to be like $50 before so this one could be big winner for sure Next up we'll take a look at That's why I'm So this one had a really nice gap up earnings super strong volume and it's been consolidating nicely so that 60 level that's very key if we can break that level it would be A bullish confirmation and that would be a buy signal there right now. It's forming a little bull flag here Friday wasn't great close pretty weak But yeah, we'll see if we can form a bull flag Until there for a couple more days and if it breaks that trend line or if it breaks that 60 level That would definitely be a buy signal But this stock has been acting really well all year long. Look at that trend, right? It's been one from $11 to $64 so this is a very very strong stock this year and it could potentially Look for another like up here. So hopefully Consolidate for a couple more days break that trend line 60 and that would be a very easy buy signal Now there's the look at is a vrt This one had a very strong gap up on earnings It actually had two strong gap ups on earnings. This was the first one last quarter And ever since then it's just been grinding higher and higher again. We're doing the same thing capping up And we took out the gap up highs on friday very strong action Friday was a friday was a bearish day, but the stock continued to move higher. So this is very bullish action Take a look at the weekly chart. This one's making a huge breakout on the weekly Used to have a very significant resistance level of 28 and now completely Uh Broke out of that level, right? So this is this definitely has a lot of potential and this is going into new all-time highs territory. So definitely Lot of room to the upside here But yeah, this one's acting great and I want to see it consolidate more one forms some sort of flag Definitely don't buy it here because it's getting extended You want to see is don't want to wait for some sort of consolidation Wait for some sort of flag and then this could potentially be Then set up to buy And last but not least we'll take a look at x per I want to take a look at li actually li has been extremely extremely strong And china overall has been really has been doing really well recently and li is one of definitely one of the leaders Uh for ev in china Nio is also strong, but look at where nio is compared to previous all-time highs compared to uh li right li is back to all-time highs pretty much So this one's definitely a lot stronger and this is the one that you want to be paying attention to Um, but yeah li has been acting very strong and it's a very strong He named in general Another strong china name is h. This one has been acting really really well Had a nice breakout here, right? This was the first breakout and then made a try to form flag here and then failed And then if one another flag here and then broke out and now it's forming another flag here So this one is yeah, this one trades really well forms nice flags But yeah, if we can break that trend line that could be another buy signal And this one also has a lot of potential because it's pretty beaten down used to be Had a really nice one before in 2021. So this one has a lot of potential, right? And this one potentially is just getting started. So definitely want to keep your eye on that But yeah li is definitely the strongest china stock i've seen so far and yeah, this one's ready to Make a new all-time highs, but this one's also very hard to trade because It doesn't really hasn't really offered too many opportunities this year It's just been slowly growing in higher and higher, but there have been small bull flag trades to take Like this this one's probably the nicest one And then there's another one over here But this one does trade a little bit funky, but if you take a look at the weekly chart Very clear action that this one can insanely strong Um, but yeah, that's pretty much it for this weekly video. Thank you guys for tuning in


Now to the lady of the night, of the hour, of the moment Madam Jackie Matubia. First of all, how does it feel to just see that? Come on. I feel blessed in my heart. I was telling Jackie, this is my event. I feel like I'm coming to people that someone else is coming. And thinking that this show, there goes like a hurry up, like I wanted to buy. There goes everything but it's worth it. It's not about the money, but it's the passion. And I had to do it. Guys, how am I going? I was even telling the Edmunds these three episodes, they have to go. I was telling Jackie, I do not have the money, but they have to go. Because it's not their industry, it's ours. And the person who said that, I may have to group. Since we need to go for a group, to try to do. To try to ignore, at least the men in your left street when they leave. There has to be that one person that stays and say, you know what? I'm the sacrificial lamb. I will go with it. And here we are. Kenya's faster than I think what you are saying. Where? I get home late. With the boys. Okay, with the boys. Therapy. Therapy. Okay, therapy. Hiya, sir. I'm Madam Jackie. What is your toxic trait? A bit manipulative. Who you mean? Coach O'Donnell. It's too sweet. That's your toxic trait. That's what you mean. He's being toxic. Being too much in control. I'm a control freak. That's what I am a director. I love it. I love it. Hey. Njoka. Njoka. Your toxic traits.  Who is your toxic trait? I'm not a toxic trait. Who is your toxic trait? Jackie. What is your toxic trait? I'm a walking red flag. Walking red flag. In the costume itself. Shot to anger. Shot to anger. Hiya. Very, very good to know. Now, Sidrini, what are the ones in our coach? You've been directing a lot of tenor novellas in the country from Selena, to Kina, to Salem. Yes, absolutely. By the way, let me tell you guys, for those who don't know, Carol is called coach in the industry, for a reason. Because she has trained literally the best actors you know in this country. We have to give you our flowers. So coach, I'd love to know, what was the difference between directing the tenor novellas, those ones that, you know, how Shoma said my shamatic in this one. What was the main difference? Wow. Oh man. And a work environment that is friendly. A producer that cares about their cast. Actors and crew that gel so well together. And we didn't even know each other. We were meeting most of us for the first time on that set. I think the only person I knew previously was Rutabingua, the rest, and Jackie. Everybody I was meeting for the first time but we gel so quickly and we worked so well, it never felt like work. It felt like we were just out having fun. And then the icing on the cake is when your producer takes you to Mombasa and you have one day off which is just downtime. There are no, I've never met a producer who has done that for their cast. Yeah man, that's what Mombasa is all about. One of your producers who is working in Mombasa has landed three and he's working four. And that's what Liza is all about. Yeah man. That's what I'm talking about. Mr. Kimani. Hello Mr. Kimani. So what do you design for this industry? And especially for actors and crew that don't know how to get into producing and how to create the power. And the crew will get points and I'll say I'll tell you a story.  So why did you accept this project? I think first of all is because it's a project for my friend. Jackie has for my friend for, I think it's almost a ticket now. And we met when I was starting in the industry and her and Kate mentored me so much. So me being part of this project and I think I related so much to the project. I wanted to be part of it and I loved being part of it and it opened my eyes in how different producers you know if anyone wants to be a producer and how you should be treating your cast and crew. And that was just amazing part of it having to work with a team that is friends first and enjoys doing what we do. Actually guys we enjoy doing what we do. What you guys have seen here what you guys have seen here is a product of friendship trust and believing in each other. That is what is here and we love it and we appreciate it. Thank you so much. Give it up for Kimani. Sasa, Jokamonyehwe. Jokamonyehwe. Seju kamai di suol technological Now I found it very interesting that by the way I know there's a lot of artists in the house and allowed to ask what do you think what helps you when you have something on the side because I know a lot of us artists we are like me I want to stick to this you know this is what I want to do but the reality on the ground is there are not enough jobs and that's the reason I know Jackie for one you put up this and how many people have you implored it in the first place you know I mean yeah give it up for Jackie but my question to you is does it help you to have a crutch but also does it take away from your artistry because that means the time that you are in office you are not practicing your so please weigh into that you know and when you live in a country you adapt to whatever is happening in the country there is what you want and there is what you need all right yes I want to be a professional actor I want to leave this craft but can this craft live in me currently with the financial situation so I want to live in this craft but can this craft live in me with the current economic conditions right and I think most of the casts are witnesses I used to work in the middle of shooting you know I take a break sometimes I get a phone call and I go out of character and I think the AD noticed once and I was like so it's a tough balance but if you want to do something passionately it's not about the money it's not about the pain so if you have a cushion somewhere where you know your money comes from you can call me in the middle of the night and I play any role you want because I don't have worries of if my people going to eat and my people going to sleep so I think I would advise all artists to make sure you use whatever you get start a side hustle so that as much as you're putting into your craft your life moves on so that your life doesn't stop and maybe one day the craft will live in us but until that time until that time you have to live like a normal client side hustle hey somebody say hallelujah thank you for that madame jockey producer sasa I think this is the hardest job in our production I think you know for I know you guys had set aside a certain amount of money in the ocean because first of all if you get sorry I can imagine the number of cast and crew the fact that you guys even thought to bring in sponsors that will fly people and all of these logistics being run and I know you didn't have like a big production crew so so how do they go about this God has been faithful first of all the money we set aside but then God provided but then everything that we did came from Jackie's pocket either like my goodness these guys are here guys are here to watch you know what we you know produce everything and everyone you're seeing here there are people who believed in this dream you know these are people who believe in the ocean I'm a pick up yes I'll take continue if in Jackie's dream and we believe they're gonna make more and more and more a scientific and now to the lady of the night okay I'm Jackie material you just see that I'm sad I feel blessed in my heart I was telling you okay this is my event I feel like I'm coming to people someone else's and thinking that this show there goes like a hurry up like I wanted to buy there goes everything but it's worth it it's not about the money but it's the passion and I had to do it guys I was telling them this three episodes they have to go I was telling you I do not have the money but they have to go because it's not it's not their industry hours and the person who said that I'm a left group since we need to go for a group which I ignore is the money delay we have they have to be like one person that stays and say you know what I'm the sacrificial lamp I will go with it with it and yeah here we are yeah can you pass through very briefly the journey from I'd love to know what inspired this series in the first place and if you can remember that it was it's an exact moment was it a series of events that pushed you to do this what was that it was an exact moment of we're coming to because our last scene with Charlie in the previous series that we were in and it was um a cell scene so he had come to visit his love of his life and so so what's next and he was like you know I didn't want to ask you but when we started this show and so I said giving out my story at least someone somewhere was interested to hear my story and not write it tomorrow and not it'd be a headline tomorrow and I just gave him one scenario and he looked at me and he said so it's it's a question that you can baby girl why is this not a movie movie like you know I got excited that he's like um but you have a youtube channel right I'm like yeah it's like then go sit down and tell them like I cannot do that I think no one cares these people will watch it will be headlines for hours and that's it how of how how how was my story helped another lady out there how has changed anyone how's your story helped someone and then he's like you have an idea you this can be a baby guys for the first time I had a web series from Charlie I didn't know what our web series is and and so he's like so this is what happens to we're gonna take his story his fun story my story like we're gonna put up every what what what social media you know the couples on on socials we're gonna put all these stories together and then it's like when it's a movie then how you know guys he broke down the entire show in that sitting so it's like so it's like glasses you put them like this together just when you think you've got him and you put another glass and then you put another glass and then comes you know and he's like yeah so I'll do that again story is a job I said and so I was thinking can we do a zoom meeting I'm like zoom meeting yeah so so we can storyline and I was like yeah I have a friend of mine who's an amazing producer that's when I looked in jockey and I looked in a friend of ours called Carol and we got we got we got into the zoom meeting and there he was with his wall full of stickers so he was like so guys you're saying episode one and guys he wrote from episode one to episode ten he gave each and every episode a title and we were there brainstorming the guy from the Nana from but every time we were brainstorming toxic history to this oh no we don't have one now we don't have one that toxic and then we discussed we discussed and that's just like guys I think it should just be called toxic but anyway we can write another name but for now toxic if you wrote toxic on a pink I'll never forget on a pink um sticker and then like stops and that's we were episode seven it was blank episode eight it was blank episode nine like then he was like no let me first work with the first three and then I'll get back to you guys and then in the middle of the week he's requesting for in the episode seven he's requesting for for zoom meeting some of us our mothers as we were working and then he's like I'm just and then he sends us a screenshot in the group and he's like guys I'm waiting for you guys to join and so that's when it hit me I yeah and so I called to jump in and like Charlie is serious I yeah pick it to to be funny to be funny so me in my head that Jeremy asked me on YouTube I 15 16 minutes I can't cost me that much you know and um on the on the third of him he called me he's like I'm coming for the but I'm like it's too early I'm not even showered I'm from setting up the venue he's like no no no I want us to come to me discuss before we get drunk I'm like okay cool so he on the first of them he said the first episode then he said the second on the second and then on the third I told him your king this guy is serious but the time is on the 10th of my 10 episodes so that's when we so that's when we met and when we met um I was just from being frustrated someone had just promised me to give me equipment was not for free um but you're like no I'm not giving you because oh you're trying to can't change you know you know I'm trying to change the industry I'm trying to change the narrative no so I'm stressed I am too late I'm stressed I don't think we're going to do this so he's like you know what shiro has people like don't stress on Monday on Monday you guys give me my house because I have a sister you know he gave a he gave me a story like the nothing was and yeah I'm glad I had that conversation with him and I know where he is


Hey everybody, Dr. O. In this video, we're going to talk about another non-specific or innate immune response which is going to be phagocytosis. So phagocytosis, phago means to eat, cytomine cells. So phagocytosis is the process of cells eating things and golfing things that shouldn't be there. So this is part of your innate immune response because it's non-specific.  Now you'll see this is also a link though to your adaptive immune response and I'll show you that at the end. The key phagocytic cells, there are other ones but the key ones are going to be the macrophages which you see here on the right hand side, neutrophils which we covered in a separate video when I walk through all the key white blood cells. Then the dendritic cells I'll show you at the end because those are good examples of antigen presenting cells. I like to think of this as your first line of defense. Once one of those barriers have been breached like your skin and your mucous membranes, macrophages, phagocytic cells like these are going to be your first line of defense. What I have on here is the screen is monocytes and macrophages.  Some cells are just going to be called fixed macrophages, free macrophages, just going to be called macrophages, but some do have names. As you can see here, I'll just give you a few examples. Microglial cells, those are the neuroglial cells of the nervous system that are macrophages. The microglial cells have a name. Cooper cells are going to be the macrophages in the liver. Alveolar macrophages or dust cells are going to be in your lungs. Those are the three key ones there. We talked about just their general purpose. Let's see how they actually do their job. This is phagocytosis. What you see here are bacteria being engulfed by a phagocytic cell. It's going to become a phagosome, which is mildly acidic, but the key thing that occurs here is the phagosome is going to fuse with one or more lysosomes. Hopefully remember them from Unit 1. Lysosomes are the digestive system of cells. The lysosome is going to be a bag basically of acids and enzymes. Once we have this phagolysosome, which is the phagosome with the bacteria fused with one or more lysosomes, the acidity is going to help destroy this bacteria, but toxic forms of oxygen are actually going to be the primary killer here. Inside this phagolysosome, we're going to have what's called a respiratory burst where the cell's going to really ramp up the metabolism, but not to produce energy. It's to produce toxic forms of oxygen, which is a byproduct of our metabolism. Think hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals. These are chemicals we talk about all the time in microbiology because they kill bacteria where these phagocytic cells can create it themselves. So superoxide, anions, these are all really good examples. So the phagocyte is going to engulf this bacteria and kill it with acidity, but it's really going to kill it with toxic forms of oxygen. Just like the hydrogen peroxide we use to clean the surfaces in our home is going to be produced here. And here we see a regular macrophage just digesting and destroying that bacteria and spitting out the waste. But here we see a dendritic cell or an APC, an antigen presenting cell. So same thing, swallows the bacterial pathogen, fuses, creates the phagolysosome and destroys it. But step three there, it's going to take pieces of this destroyed bacteria and put it on its surface. That's why it's called an antigen presenting cell. It's going to show these pieces to the rest of your immune system. That's how your helper T cells, your other T cells and B cells know what's in the area and know what they should become active against. So that's going to be the link between phagocytosis and your adaptive or specific immune response there at the end. All right, so that's a dendritic cell. So that is phagocytosis and its uses in your immune system. So yum, yum, hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.
