Hello there, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Armour with the Stock Swoosh, reviewing the BAs. But so many trades call on this, you almost lose track. But there's, I think everyone should be out of the ones from this week's expiration for tomorrow's expiration, but very nice calls. And these are starting to get more expensive. I will say that. They're very interesting enough starting to get more expensive. And I've noticed that recently, at least if you want to give it a cushion, which I wanted to do. And someone had mentioned to me today, oh, I think I got bad fills in this. No, I mean, these ones here, the new round ones that I called are up, even at not a great price, but they're not up that much. So I mean, it's really up to you.  But again, what I'm looking at this, to get a break of $130, $125, $120 would be the dream target even here. So again, this just is so weak and has provided so many nice plays, day trades, puts, everything. And this really hasn't full on gone yet, to be honest with you. I mean, I've just timed this perfectly for the puts that I've been calling this. I'm continuing to do that as well. So even though you might think, oh, I didn't get a good price in this, trust me. If this makes the move, it will be very, very, very profitable trades.  I mean, occasionally I'll look at that on a Thursday, Friday, and say, because in this market, it's very volatile. And you've got to be aware of that. But if you did these, then you have to either have conviction or you don't have conviction. Either you want to give it a chance to pay you or you don't want to take the chance. So I think you have to decide. But just don't forget to be booking profits, people. It's very, very important to be booking profits. I'm calling so many good trades, so many positive trades. Please don't forget to book profits. You have to look at the date of expiration or determining which ones they get in and out of. And you've got to give some of these trades a chance to work. And this is one of these ones here that I don't know why you wouldn't want to give it a chance to work as a point. So we'll see where this goes. I'll be watching it very, very closely again. It'll be interesting to see what happens between now and Monday, although there is going to be some action in the market tonight. I don't know if it's going to be anything significant. I hardly doubt it, but we'll be watching. Good luck, everyone. Great job, everyone, that's been doing these trades. Great job, everyone, that's made a lot of money in this. This has definitely been the gap of the month, for sure. And we'll see where we go next week. Have a good weekend, everyone.

And if you want to learn how I read this so well since all the way back in December 2019, then you need to take the Golden Gap course. So email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com.


Hey guys, how you doing? This is Rich from Rich TV Live, and I want to talk to you about enthusiast gaming, which is absolutely ripping today. Currently at $4.60 on the NASDAQ up 24%. You can see here, it's very much trending up. They just reported extremely strong earnings, and I believe this trend could continue further. You can see here, if we do the one-year chart, you can see that enthusiast gaming has been as high as just over $8 in America. You can see here, it's come from these lower levels, when I was talking about it, to about $8, and then we saw them trend down to where it hit this low-low at about $3 in America. And now here we are, and we see that they are starting to do a trend reversal, starting to trend up with a lot of power, and that's because they reported very strong earnings, and the market is responding in kind. That's the price in America, EGLX. Let's take a look at the price in Canada here on the Toronto Stock Exchange. You can see here currently at $5.86, huge, huge momentum on enthusiast gaming. I'm a big fan of gaming stocks. I think that this is going to go to $10. I think that the revenue and the growth is phenomenal. This is a company that will continue to grow. I'm not surprised with this move. I was the first one ever to talk to you guys about enthusiast gaming when it was at $1. It's now at $5. I feel like this is going to go to $10. Love to know what you guys think about these videos. Remember, Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. Please do your due diligence, do your research before you invest in anything we talk about or discuss here on Rich TV Live. Now when saying that, we've been talking to you guys about enthusiast gaming longer than anybody. We talked to you guys about them when they first got started, like around $1. You can clearly see here it went from $1 all the way to just under $11, huge, huge, huge 10X for the community. Congratulations to investors. Then it came back down. Did this dip where they just weren't hitting their targets, weren't crushing earnings? All of a sudden, they crushed their earnings and the stock is making a huge trend reversal pattern. I believe it's going to continue. You can see now up 26% on the day in Canada. Now at $593, we've been talking about it in our trading club. I'm not surprised with this move. Congratulations to investors. If you like these videos, smash the like button, comment down below, share the video everywhere, and subscribe if you're live.

Like most nonprofits, Ripple Effect depends on its donors and members to fulfill its mission to promote youth development and leadership through adventure, healthy communities, and sustainable living. As Executive Director Anna Klein-Christy told Lesley McVane, Ripple Effect will soon be presenting a gift to celebrate the success of all those who turn the organization's vision into reality. Well, Ann, I want to start this interview by congratulating you on getting one of the coveted Quimby Family Foundation grants. It's a big honor. Well, Lesley, I have to say we were really honored and it was a wonderful family celebration that they do to share those grants. An opportunity for all of the recipients to really spend some time together and talk about the change that can happen in the community when there is some collaboration that is fun. That's what it's all about and we were proud to get one as well, but to see people who are members of community television being part of that family of recipients was just wonderful. Absolutely. I hope that if there were people in the audience who were not members at that time that we would encourage them. Exactly. Well, let's talk about Ripple Effect. And you're doing something really special as a thank you to your supporters. And let's talk a little bit about the mural. Absolutely. You know, we are at a point where it's really fun for us to celebrate all that has gone into Cow Island and all that has gone into Ripple Effect in making it such a wonderful success and an opportunity to work with kids. So we are going to be unveiling a mural out on Cow Island on September 9th where we can thank organizations like the Quimby Foundation and individuals who have really made it possible over the last 11 years now. Pretty wild. 11 years. Now, who created this mural? A gentleman by the name of Joe Kiewit who is a local artist. You see his pieces around town, but it really is an extraordinary mural of Casco Bay. So we'll be able to not only look at it as a work of art, but it's also a teaching tool for the kids who come to the island for programming. Well, how smart to combine the two, which is really what Ripple Effect's all about. It is. It is. I mean, that mural was very much a brainchild of both Cyrus Hagee and Joe Kiewit. And they thought about what would make sense and what would look wonderful in what used to be Fort Lyons, which is of course an old military base, where we make our home. So it makes a lot of sense for us. How exciting. And so the artist has been on the island creating this? Yes. He's been doing work in Portland as well. But he's a friend of the organization and really recognizes that this is an opportunity to celebrate and to recognize and also for new people to come out on the island and to see what opportunities are there and to see what that family looks like. I have to put you on the first Friday artwork. Put a little boat out to see the mural. Take a lobster boat out. Wouldn't that be fun? I think it'd be great fun. I would do it in a heartbeat. Now summer is winding down, but Ripple Effect is not winding down as in years past. What is happening now? What's coming up? Oh Leslie, my goodness. We had our regular programming and just two weeks ago. In two weeks we're going to start working with schools for orientation programs. Greeley Middle School is going to be sending their entire seventh grade class out for a couple of days. Oh wonderful. So they can look at health issues and they can work on bullying issues and really building a community in the school that really supports learning for kids for the rest of the year. And helps them to bond with each other. Absolutely. Seventh grade is a perfect grade to do that. It really is. It's right when they're changing from being little kids to the confusing part of going toward being an adult. That's absolutely right. And actually that's the reason that we do after school programming for seventh graders for the rest of the year. And there we work with Lincoln Middle School and Memorial, we've worked with King and Lyman Moore and Freeport so that we have a chance to really connect with kids when they're making some extremely important choices and hopefully give them the positive options. Well I think it's wonderful if people want to find out what they can do to help or learn more about this or if some of the schools want to get involved, those that aren't, how do they get in touch with you? Absolutely. The best way really is to check out our website which is www.rippleeffect.net. Well I think that's great. We have to wrap it up now but hopefully you'll be back as we get into the school season and hear how it's working and what's coming up next. Leslie thank you and thank you for all the support that you guys have given us. Thank you. It's been a wonderful relationship.


There is a deadline, July 24th, this year, although I would say that my office, the Deputy Undersecretary of the Navy, Deputy Chief Management Officer, will take ideas year-round. But for this particular award, the ideas go in to OMB, the deadline of July 24th.


You are still watching Waze Now World Maritime Day celebrated annually on the last Thursday of September. It is an international day to recognize the importance of the maritime industry and its contributions to the global economy and society. Maritime industry is responsible for transporting over 90% of global trade. It also plays a vital role in the global food supply chain and the energy sector, the tourism industry. World Maritime Day was established by the International Maritime Organization in 1978. The IMO, the International Maritime Organization, is the specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating the maritime industry. Very very important day. This is the people that ensures that we are able first of all connect globally to different trades, different economies. This is the people if we had something to export and give us forex, these are the people that would have helped us to export it. And for a country that has surrounded by water, I think we can do a lot more in terms of international trade. We just need to be very intentional about deriving income revenue from other sectors outside of oil. I also think that while we applaud them on what they are doing so far for transport, what's it called, exports and whatnot, I think they also need to do much more work with clearing our seas and the lakes. I believe they are also in charge of clearing out the hydros and all this stuff. So just to make sure that we have safer oceans, that's what they mean. Yeah, safer oceans, sea and lakes. I'm sure they would have and that's why the IMO has policies. Those are the people that's where the United Nations come because those are the people that would ensure that you know safe, whatever it is that you're safe, what's the word now, safer fields, that is the power that's called those massive ships is not harmful to what's it called, the secretaries. So all that balance, that's where I think those agencies come in to make sure that they are monitoring and they are complying because we really need this, they're not going on especially with global warming and what's it called, our climate change and all of that. So there's nothing, I'm happy that our vice president was appointed chairman of I think the climate change board or something like that. I'm happy. So I mean it's something that is all tied up. Yeah, so I get you, yes, I am sure that that's why they have those agencies to control and regulate to ensure that you know our water is safer and cleaner and you know it's also safe for the creatures in there. Yeah. You like dolphins? I'm also going to swim with dolphins. I love dolphins. Is there a dolphin in Nigeria? Have you seen a dolphin in Nigeria? I don't know. I'm asking you. I'm going to swim with dolphins, isn't Nigeria going to swim with the dolphins?  I'm saying face your one. What did you find for us in the news, Mary? Okay. From an American tennis player Serena Williams, asserts that she does not celebrate her birthday because she belongs to the Jehovah Witness section. Although she turned 42 on Tuesday, September 26th, Williams will not be celebrating her birthday as her family does not believe in that tradition. Tennis Up To Date reports reports that the 23-time Grand Slam champion and her sister, Venus Williams, were raised as Jehovah Witnesses a subject of Christianity as they both followed their mother or a sin or a sin price in converting to the religion in the early 1980s. An important aspect of the belief is that those who practice the religion do not celebrate their birthdays. On multiple occasions, Williams has spoken about her religious beliefs and she has said being a Jehovah Witness is important to me but I've never really practiced it and I've been wanting to get into it. She said this in 2017. That's interesting. Jehovah Witness doesn't, I mean this is not to like paint bite of any religion or any family of faith but I don't think they wear accessories and I don't think they wear makeup? No, it is... They wear simple. You say, where is it? Abige. There are plenty of Jehovah Witnesses. Are you sure? Like, core to their wear, their wear jewelry. I don't think so. She doesn't, it's a deeper life, it's not... Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Jehovah Witnesses, when this thing was a root shock to me when I was in university because my friends, I mean they were, I was wondering like every time you know it's beddy, they would just keep quiet. I said, what's happening? So that was when I now understood their principles and their laws and all of that. They don't celebrate birthdays.  It's not just to celebrate. I need to stay on the streets now. That's what Jehovah Witness is supposed to be about. It's about going to spread the gospel. It's about going, I mean they were the ones that really, really shared the pamphlets. They really, they're big on evangelism. They push the propagation, what's called the evangelical like door-to-door evangelism and all of that. That's what they are about. Yes, they will knock on your door, you know. Oh yeah. Share your answer with you. Do you know the reason for the birthday? So I don't believe in Christmas as well, you know, because again, Christmas is a birthday of Jesus, right? I don't know. I think Abigail explained it to me, but sadly I've actually forgotten why, but they don't just celebrate birthdays. I mean it's not a big deal for me. I'm not big on birthday celebration either. I kind of do it for like tradition. Okay, take a picture, put it out there just with my birthday. Thank you. It's not, they don't even mention it. They don't have knowledge. If you tell them, they don't reply. Yeah. Oh no. No. That's extreme. I need to find out why. See, my friends actually, they will beat me up because they actually explained it to me, but I've forgotten. In case you know the meaning, you can call and tell us. I was just shocked to see that Serena was talking about it. Same, same. Yeah, and that's just actively practicing it. So I'm coming back to the city of Abuja where the current minister of works, David Umahi, has locked down his staff or rather his staff, you know, according to the news that they were always late to work, government workers. And so he would come to the office before the man, so on this Saturday he locked them out of work and because they were late for work and now the staff ended up protesting. So they in return locked up the venue and they were chanting, like it's a crowd. It's not even like five or 10 people. I'm talking like 50, maybe up to 100 people outside with camera men capturing them and they were chanting, he must go, he must go. And the reason is they accused him that since he came into office, he's been high-handed, you know. Yeah, they accused him of high-handedness, you know. So and I was going through, of course, Instablog is all about the comments. I was going through the comments and a lot of people were like, is this the Nigeria that we want? I mean, we should be applauding him or rather the staff should be applauding him for the fact that, you know, he shows up to work at 8 a.m. And so everybody should copy that. That's like trying to be an exemplary leader. But instead you show up at 9 or 10 and, well, you're locked outside of the penalty for being late and in retaliation, you lock up everywhere. Now the minister was stuck in his office. He can't go out and nobody can go in and then people are protesting outside shouting, he must go. How do you handle that? Nigeria's, you see, I think, I really want to hear what you have to say about this. See, I have a headache. Honestly, I have a headache for this country. It's heartbreaking because even when you try and this is why, like you would think it's something affordable he's doing. This is why you see a lot of people when they go into offices, they don't even want to bother to change anything. You know why?  It's almost like we've gotten so used to bad manners that it is difficult. You know, it would take, see, it would take the grace of God, because you see all this while we are shouting, you love me and God made me change and all of that. The problem, the problem lies with us.  You must be ready to, because imagine that you have someone that has the power to change certain things to your favor. Would you be calm enough to let it not go in your favor? In a lot of times we preach and we talk from two sides of our mouth.  So it's a hard thing. Nigeria is a smart headache and I'm not about to give myself a headache. It's just sad. I mean, I would have pulled him for being an example. There's a video I wanted to play. It's a dispatch rider. If I play it as an SF, it's fine. So this dispatch rider actually apparently had gone, he saw a car, he had already attempted and he successfully opened the car. So he now went back and came back. So it was the narration from the video that he understood what was going on. Apparently this dispatch rider parked his bike because people were passing so he was pretending like he was doing something and he then eventually went inside the car and when he got inside the car he was able to, he had gone before, according to the video he had gone before, he had already successfully opened the car. He was coming back home and finished what he started. So he then opened the car and then he was called entered and I think he stole the brain box. They called it the brain box. It's Toyota Highlander, the newer model. Yes, Toyota, the big SUV Black, I wish they have the video to show. Now, the story is actually quite scary for me. You know, we've been talking about all of these issues around when you ban this, there is a ripple effect. So what we've seen now is those people that used to rob on bikes, they've just shifted their gears because this guy clearly is an armed robber, but is disguised as a dispatch rider. So the guy in the video is saying that we should be careful who would give our goods to. First of all, when I use dispatch riders, I actually use the ride hailing services that are very known. So I believe in my head that the companies have done due diligence to be able to get them to deliver. But I'm just saying now, I think more than ever before, the government should look into regulating that sector because when they ban Okada, we saw an influx of dispatch riders and this one is you just see somebody just put a box is a dispatch rider. No name company, no brand names. And I think, you know, now more than ever before, bigger companies, bigger logistics companies, brands and all of that. If you are not maybe reaching to a certain level, maybe they should just collapse all those people, go and join the bigger companies. People will say, oh, you're killing businesses, but that, yeah, but you can't regulate it because now it means that anybody can just buy the bike, put a box and pretend like it's a dispatch rider going around and doing a lot of things. But don't they have like proper registrations? Because I know that sometimes, sometimes those, I don't know now, because touts as well tax them, you know, at least in sometimes where they're all taxed, the big company dispatch riders, they don't touch them. I've seen them around people. They don't touch the, I don't know what to mention brands, but they don't touch the big logistics company. They don't. So usually it is this no-name people that they touch. So it is even better for the government to just look into it and collapse it because I'm saying that it's a security threat. Because this guy, if you watch the video, he successfully took out the brain box.  It was the CCTV camera across the building, you understand? That caught it. So it was from the silent, the film that I saw online was the CCTV camera, you know, showing what had happened. So we really must be, we really must choose what we want, you know?  They are a big threat and they need to really scrap them. So on that note, to take a break. That's scary. Very scary. We'll take a break when we come back from that break. Let's have a conversation. Stay with us. We'll be right back.


Hello everyone welcome back to another session in dentistry and more today. We have pain management in palliative care This palliative care is a very vast topic So this session is about a very superficial Overseeing of the pain management in palliative care even the pain management is very Wast we are just going very superficially. So first of all we need to understand the components of pain In a palliative care patients that is it just it's not a physical pain. It has all other dimensions we can Make a acronym PAIN Pain that is a physical pain It is like the symptoms or conditions what the patient is suffering from like arthritis The bladder spasm headache thresh and as well as a cancer pain It stands for the anxiety anchor depression hopelessness and The eyes stands for interpersonal issues such as family tensions financial issues and Stands for non-acceptance Of approaching the death that is more of like a spiritual pain So, how do we plan? Pain management so before that we need to assess the pain we can use Many scales commonly used very descriptive scales or was scale that is visual analog scale Visual Analog scale so very commonly used scale Then The faces scale So once the pain is assessed we can use the World Health Organization ladder of pain management Okay, so in this pain management ladder commonly used up opioids and other adjuvants and also non opioids It depends upon the severity of pain. Okay So it starts from very milder pain. So in milder pain we can go for non opioids and adjuvants So opioids are commonly the centrally acting drugs morphine hydromorphine fentanyl and methadone and Adjuvants the lots of adjuvants. It can be an algesic. It can be a radiation therapy It can be a calciton and bisphosphonate or anti convulsions or anti depressants anything we add To the opioids or non opioid regimen Is considered as a adjuvant So for milder pain we can go for non opioids and adjuvants For mild to moderate pain. We should start opioids with or without adjuvant and for moderate to severe pain also we need to try different opioid with or without adjuvant so each level we Give different opioids The potency will be increasing as we go higher. So that is a scale and this will be the pain free so ultimate aim of this ladder is to Make the patient pain free. So at the bottom we have very milder pain where we use non opioids with adjuvants Then for mild to moderate pain we have opioids With or without adjuvant that is this plus or minus sign then for moderate and severe pain similarly opioids With or without adjuvants, but the potency and the drug will be different at the third level And finally the patient will be pain free. So most commonly when we give opioids We need to give laxatives because of the main disadvantage of this morphine and all is a constipation So in order to relieve the patient out of constipation, we need to give laxatives That was all about pain management and palliative care from Last two years since the palliative care has been included in the dental curriculum questions were regularly asked for all University exams so the question might be different, but whatever question under palliative care comes Palliative dental care or palliative care if it is a palliative dental care You can write a little bit about the dental care along with this But you need to include all these points like the components of pain How do we assess the pain and this WHO ladder and all the four components then regarding the Various checks we use that is non opioids opioids laxatives and adjuvants So these points will give you around 60 to 70 percentage of the mark So I'll come up with a new topic in the industry and more. Thank you

uh you remember starting out yeah you started out working for someone or you went straight into happening okay I started working in a beauty shop okay I was working for someone that is I was being paid yeah so what what inspired me to go out there as a makeup artist I worked for like three years for someone selling makeup then it was selling and applying selling and apply at the same time so you know you have to apply someone to buy so you you have to apply them these it's like if they like they buy so that's what I was doing and I was doing it for free then I was being paid by the company the company which is supplying yeah exactly all right how much capital did you start with and how did you raise the capital okay they started they used to pay me at 15 000 per month yeah so what inspired me actually uh to like be a makeup artist instead of making business for people is okay one day I just woke up took a book I started like writing what I sell every day I could see I sell a lot of cash like maybe a hundred k in a day when it's both markets exactly in terms of and that is beauty alone you do the lipstick the foundations and all all about the makeup stuff nothing else why so I say to myself if I can make a day like more than 50 or to 100 and these guys are paying me 15k monthly you understand there is a description and it's my work selling because I have to talk to them I have to demonstrate to them then they buy so this is a good thing and I'm doing it so well so why why don't I do my thing for myself you understand so I invested on makeup I started with with vitokidogokidogo I didn't do so much so I can say a budget of like 10k that's what I started with yeah small smaller and then you started how did you get your first glance or you got them the same way you used to get your plans while selling the makeup so you used your same same clients who have stood by me till now they have me who I am today wonderful we have some pictures on the screen right there of people you have worked with and you make them look so so gorgeous wow this is beautiful yes so tell me what is happening here okay sometimes I do readings so this is a wedding yeah all right so these are the wedding clothes or these are just the ones all right oh it's in form of culture yeah all right thank you for the knowledge yeah for those of us who might get married sometime in future all right so I can see different skin tones yeah on these on this you can take me back to the the previous picture please I can see different skin tones but this is also a beautiful one but please take me back to that one yes I can see different skin tones on different people yeah does this define the direction the makeup is going to take yeah sometimes it does depending on the skin itself sometimes you you may find it it has a problematic one maybe some acne spots or something so yeah but by the time you're done with the eyebrows doing the eyes you have something in mind okay she's supposed to use this to use this to use this so as you can cover so when you just look at somebody not tell someone when you see this phase you have to use it subconscious all right so when you see somebody's face from the color to the facial structure you know exactly what you're going to do with that exactly what if somebody comes up with a request and tells you I want you to do my makeup this and this way oh let's do that because okay sometimes you find someone says okay I know I'm dark but I don't want to really look so dark but you see sometimes it's your work online you can't make someone look so brown and maybe she's not have to like you know you will have to find somewhere in between and you see you can't argue with a client so you have to find a way that she has to be satisfied and at the same time you you're okay with the makeup all right that was going to be my next question if you ever get people telling you I want to look lighter than I actually look how does this make you feel as an African woman sometimes I advise someone I tell you I tell them okay all I can do maybe you can do the contour the contours means you just highlight the center part then the other parts has to look like the same yeah at least to go yeah yeah all right I like this picture right here it's uh this is a photo shoot right yeah it's a photo shoot studio photo shoot yeah so you are called in for this uh to do the makeup and then she does the shoot yeah so I'm guessing this you're contracted and paid exactly so say I'm I'm a solo I'm a solo person looking to get a photo shoot at a studio lady like this one how much should you charge me power okay it doesn't okay um it doesn't matter how many hours gonna stay with you because I'm gonna do your makeup like in the next like 30 35 40 minutes and I'm out so it's your role to do the shoot all right so yeah it's not about the hours but if you need me more maybe for a day or something that depends on what you're doing all right yeah what are some of the craziest requests you've got from clients apart from I want to look lighter than I'm actually sorry like you're a request to me I'm crazy crazy like people come around you and tell you I want to look lighter not like a light kiasi and tell me another crazy request from a client so the others they just look at your photo then they just take a photo or rather they take a photo from somewhere they want to look like the same or they want to look exactly like another person but you see we are different so they're like you see the Nigerian makeup this makeup is so nice I want to make sure totally different it's your role to talk to your clients convinced them to them nicely exactly makeup at the end of the day business has to be done I like that all right you've worked with quite a number of celebrities yeah I'll pick two yeah the list is endless I will be posting them on social media or on social media which is going to be telling us in a few but number one how was it working with Piera McKenna Piera is an easy woman she's easy to like interact with she's a good person I can say she has an attitude on being she's an inspiration to young girls like us out there yeah being a mother and everything exactly right and how is it working with Lady JD Lady JD was kind of so down at the same time not so so you can't tell so much about JD but you share a culture yeah kind of all right I like that so on to our next we have another picture on screen this is also another photo shoot this is quite interesting what is happening here okay we were doing African inspiration shoot we wanted to accessorize more of African taberns and stuff to present African culture all right you've done the cover of true love magazine yeah a couple of times yeah how did you get this due because there are so many makeup artists out there were like if I get the cover of true love I've made it in life to be honest I don't know what to tell you but I just got a call like it's a referral okay in our industry it doesn't like you don't it's not that you go searching for clients okay the better you are with the business the way you handle that's the way you trend you understand give you referrals okay for me to get to the true love magazine satisfy your clients yeah so you can get referrals as much as possible all right it's about your personality the way you do work the way you relate that's it yeah all right so you've got a call went for a meeting did you have to present a proposal or something no no no no actually the CEO called me herself Kate Odera called but I went to meet her I was so excited and I'm like oh my goodness my dream is exactly this is a big thing yeah that's it nothing else I didn't write nothing and she was so confident with me she okay she told me that she's been looking uh yeah me following me on my page and all and sing my work that's it all right I like that so uh she got impressed with the work as well yeah so your work is speaking I guess yes what do we're doing a satisfied client is the best form of marketing that's how you get referrals yeah what we're doing herself so many pictures uh uh flying by uh and uh we can't talk about all of them what I'd like to know right now uh is uh what my jujax makeup yeah what are you dealing in are you only uh making people uh are you darling people up or you're also dealing in makeup products or beauty products okay what I normally do so far maybe that will be my next project dealing with the selling makeup actually but since I used to work in a beauty shop I had interest in skincare somehow so I know about skincare so when I gave that client who has a problematic uh like skin sometimes I advise what to use I have that and I have that knowledge that I can tell you what to use and it works for you thank you very much for bringing that up would you share some knowledge with us on how maybe you can deal with acne on your face acne sometimes is ammonia yeah so what you normally do control your diet much take too much water okay um water is key yeah when you when you have acne yeah then check your diet acne mostly is uh kind of brought by too much cholesterol sometimes you can tell yeah so when you do that all right so skincare routine means washing your skin yeah exactly in the morning yeah and before you sleep yeah uh drinking so much water yeah and reducing cholesterol yeah no chicken for you if you have take too much vitamins take so much vitamins vegetables uh we can't uh go away without talking about this particular picture it's different it's a different form of makeup and in what setting would you would you advise somebody to look like this because it's quite beautiful but I don't see somebody walk into the office like this what we normally do when you can see those two powders kando kando they are here the center and those are highlights yeah it's called contours contours or the same contours you are talking about yeah all right you can okay when someone has a round face or something you can try and slim the face looks a bit slim a bit okay by doing that so you agree with the brothers who say makeup is false advertising I won't put you on this spot too much about this you can share your social media handles uh with the viewers so that they if they like to get some services from you and uh get some tips from you and how to take care of their skin uh they can hit you so so my IG handle is at make up by mojuchaks and mojuchaks make up mojuchaks make up if you like follow me on that mojoo I think is a self explanatory yeah maybe you can spell the chucks for us CHAKS CHAKS yeah mojoo is MW AJU so mojuchaks yeah makeup by mojuchaks on instagram yeah mojuchaks make up on facebook yeah I love that so that is the way they can interact with you yeah I was instagram influenced or affected your business it has never affected my business but all my clients could tell me you know you know what mojoo because on facebook I'm doing so well I started with facebook actually and facebook okay I have a good line of I have a good line of market on facebook which I started with so my clients could tell me where you know what um like IG it's one year old right now oh it's one year old oh that's why you say it hasn't had an effect on your business as much yeah but facebook you get clients but being one year old now I think it has done something yeah at least I have like 3000 and or and something followers yeah are they predominantly female your followers mostly yeah because it's beauty it's all about it's all about beauty uh the last question of the day before you speak a a wide of inspiration to the to the queens out there is that makeup for men so uh when I used to do tv I used to do makeup for men and when I used to do the series I have worked with the nene shows I used to do men so okay there are there are no makeup specifically for men they're the same same makeup that we use we use on men but we know how to use them oh it's just how you use them exactly it's not what you use there's no specific take a moment all right I figured that out thank you very much for coming through mojoo but you can't be without sending a a word of encouragement or your word from your experience something just tells something to the queens out there we're watching you somebody wants to be a makeup artist like you or somebody who wants to try something just out of the norm and uh do them do it by themselves okay it keep pushing have passion be be that person that this is where I want go for it never give up okay it may not be good today tomorrow and the day after tomorrow but try me after sometimes it's gonna give you what you want yeah so always keep pushing keep pushing that's my wide keep pushing that's the keyword yeah exactly and I like what you said earlier about uh how an impressed client is the best exactly yeah because you get uh recommendations you get recommended uh in other places as well that's how you got to be all the referrals if you get a call try me I've been referred to you by I've been told by uh yeah those are the things that trends in my business all right uh um there's a question coming in from the viewers I'm told uh somebody wants to know uh would you recommend uh makeup products or beauty products made in Kenya don't uh mention a specific brand or do you use uh products made in Kenya by chance yeah I normally do because I what I believe in if they are legit and genuine we supposed to to support our fellow Kenyans before we go out there so they're those good brands how do you know the difference between legit and genuine don't mention any brand please okay okay out of my experience no I've done those legit makeups from US UK and all so I have that knowledge that you can see plus the pricing yeah the pricing is always a factor exactly don't go for cheap yeah your skin is very important exactly uh it's what people see the first thing people see yeah all right send some shout outs uh who would you like to anybody who has helped you get this far okay uh I would love to say this this this one chick we used to struggle together

What's going on well? I'm hoping that we've got kind of the the perfect storm here, which is the Fed Kind of keeping the markets on hold till tomorrow. Yes, I think you do. Yeah, and then of course two days So we're watching the premiums decay Like melt like ice cream on Georgia Asphalt in the middle of the summer. Yes, so at this point we're gonna have just a couple of days To actually fill out those last two days of the monthly expiration So I'm hoping that that'll all work out so we can buy some fairly cheap 25 cent options that'll go to a buck or higher and And when Dave's explaining this folks, okay, so this Friday's option expiration The workshop is tomorrow from four to five. So what does happen is that as Dave says? To a couple different things end up happening the premiums even in high volatility stocks are much lower because of course by the time you wake up Thursday morning You get all of 24 hours until those expire So what you're looking for is that you're looking for it doesn't matter whether you get a big move higher or a big move Lower tomorrow then the next 48 hours. Okay. What are you gonna do for me? Yeah, and that is it and of course They have to really kind of state their Objectives before Friday and they start What is normally known as Delta neutral day, which is eight days before options and so far They're just playing it safe and down the middle and figuring that we're not going higher or lower But tomorrow whatever the Fed says, they're probably going to have to rejigger all that for Friday Yes, and the options tomorrow night are gonna tell us a great deal about where they think that those Stocks are gonna push be pushed and of course as options market makers They know where all the bodies are buried where people are at and positions and of course, you know a lot of them Are trading their own book so they have their own shares to push the stock around Fairly violently on the last couple of days not only that but this is quad witching so you also have the The futures folks getting involved for Friday, but the futures expire at 9 35 in the morning Where the options expire at 4 p.m. Yes on Friday So you get a lot of times kind of a big push for the folks in the in the Futures market and that gives you the and opens the door for you to get something for the close Where they may push it into that four o'clock close and what Dave's talking about here? This is really cool folks. Okay, whether you come to this workshop or not. I want you to pay attention to the expiration on the open because of what Dave's talking about here when you have quad witching what ends up happening is that the options on the futures expire on the open on Friday and What tends to happen is that they can push that up 20 or 30 points man Just for the open if you're wondering what why this happens you have to watch it over and over again But you will see that's going to get pushed around to get pushed around higher or lower But it's quite a spike and then as Dave said you can take advantage of that to go on any side of the market You want it's really intriguing You know when they always have the options on the futures expiring Dave on the open because it's like man It's hard to comprehend How they can actually push the market around and they do you can see it you can absolutely Yeah, it's as soon as as soon as that all the stocks are open at 935 whatever the price is there That's where the futures expire. Yes, so the rest of the the rest of the time Which is what six hours and 25 minutes? Yeah, it's all racing to options expiration at the end of the day All right, so you got a lot of stuff going on We gotta love it and folks it's very easy to convince the workshop you come over to our website at TFNN You're gonna see right on the front page right under featured content the path of least resistance You know you Dave has two nezzas. He's a path to least resistance as well as a tech insider You can get either one of those Bottom line get a great newsletter for a month. You come into the workshop if you if it works for you folks Great, you just keep getting it, but doesn't work for you.  You really want to understand what option expiration is all about what white lightning is all about We didn't Dave and I didn't bring that up, but that's what we're talking here. We're talking about white lightning And it's a beautiful thing really understanding how markets move very easy to get into folks Hit that subscribe button and you are off to the races you have a great one Dave safe one Of course, we look for a show tomorrow.

Leave a positive comment down below for a chance to get a post notification shout out at the end of today's video. Today's video is going to be a bit of a dangerous one guys. Your boy is going to be coming for his girlfriend's tattoos. I'm going to be saying stuff like they're ugly, they're hideous. I don't know why she got them. All while pretending to be on a phone call making a removal for her tattoos. Now, Janice is currently in the bathroom. We woke up not too long ago, so she's still in there getting ready.  So like I said before guys, I'm going to be pretending to make a tattoo removal appointment for Janice. I'm going to have the laptop open with Google, you know, tattoo removal place and stuff like that. And I'm also going to be pretending to be on the phone talking to this imaginary person about like Janice's tattoos and how they're ugly and she needs to get the removed so on and so forth. But I think you guys pretty much get the idea of what's going on. So if you guys are ready for today's video, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up button. Comment down below Team Isaiah all day every day. You guys already know I'm always bringing you guys the bangers. Let's get into it. Now, yeah, she has a pretty big tattoo, I would say on her left forearm. Yeah. No, I mean, it's pretty detailed. It has like a snake on it and it's like in between a bunch of like greenery and flowers and stuff like that. It's honestly, I don't know why she got it to begin with. Like I feel like it's too big, but.  Yeah. So she has that one. That's her biggest one. Her other big one is also on her ribs. That one is like one of those cliche quotes that you finally got Pinterest or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it's written in cursive. Yeah, it's written in cursive. I would say it's about maybe like four or five lines. Yeah, that's her other big one. That one's on her rib. Do you think the one on the rib would hurt more to remove? Okay, so it's pretty much going to feel the same no matter where. Okay, no, no, no. That's that's her. Yeah, the big one is on her arm and then on the rib. That's it. It was the only two big ones when she has, then she has small ones. She has one on her left. Same arm as the one with the snake. She has like a butterfly on her tricep. Same arm. Yeah, then she has another one on her ankle. That one's the one with the ghost. I don't know why she got that one on her.  That was on her right ankle on the inside of her leg. Yeah.  So they kind of like, I don't want to say they're part of like the snake tattoo, but you know, you might as well consider it like all one piece, because they're all like put together. Yeah. So how much would it be to get all of them removed then? I don't know if you want to consider the one with the snake as, you know, combined with the other ones and stuff like that. Like, I don't know how you guys go about the pricing and the packaging and all that. Okay, so you need this. That's what I was assuming you would need the dimensions of the tattoos. Okay. Now, so I mean, can you just email me the packages and like the pricing and all that as far as like what each package covers? And then I'll just go ahead and get the dimensions of her tattoos and then I guess we'll pick out whichever one is best for her. Yeah. Same email I gave you in the beginning of the phone call. Yeah. Okay. Now, I'll definitely be checking my email. Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much. You as well. Looking at tattoo removal services. That's what's called tattoo removal services. For what? For you. I don't have tattoos. You have tattoos. Why do you want to look up tattoo removal services for me? So we could get your tattoos removed. Why? Hey, why not? I don't need my tattoos removed. I don't want them removed. Why are you? I thought there was one of the tattoos that you didn't like. There was one in there that you didn't like. No. I like all my tattoos. Okay. Well, I'm just trying to help you out. For what? How do you, how do you expect that this is coming out? Because, because in this world, you already know how it is. The stereotype, the stigma behind tattoos is just bad. Right?   Oh, you look dirty. You're not professional. You know, so on and so forth. I'm not one of those people. However, I'm just trying to help you out because the whole world is like that. Right? So I don't want you to not succeed in this world because you have tattoos. I'm already successful. What are you talking about? I like that, but I want you to go even beyond that. I want you to go further and like, let's say like, say someone would, I don't know. Say Netflix wants to cast you for a show, right?   You know what I mean? Like, I don't want you to miss out on something like that. So I want to go ahead and make the tattoo removal appointment for you and go ahead. I'm covering the cost. So don't worry about that. And yeah, I'm just trying to figure out what's the best pricing as far as like all these places. Babe, I'm not taking off my tattoos. I understand what you're saying about the whole world thing, but honestly, if they really want me, they'll hire makeup artists and they'll cover it. Okay, but I feel like there's a solution to everything. So I'm not really worried about it. If I'm not worried about it, you shouldn't be worried about it. Worry about yourself. I am worried about myself at the same time. I'm not what's best for you as well. I understand they won't bust for me, but like my, you're acting like my tattoos are like in the way of me becoming successful. I just think it's best. I just think it's best if you remove your tattoos, especially the one on your arm and the one on your wrist. Okay. These are the biggest pieces. My wrist tattoo is small. I don't know what you're talking about. That is not small. That's not big. Babe, this is small. What are you talking about? That's not a big piece. I told him like four or five lines. Yeah. It's like literally two lines. So I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, it's still pointless though. I mean, the other one is pointless too.  All right, hold on. I'm trying to help you. Hold on. Bad try. What did you just say to me right now? Did you just say that my tattoos are pointless? The one on the snake, that one was pointless. The one over there, you got that one from like, it seems like you got that from like Pinterest or something like that. And then you got a random eyeball. It's not random. That's a random eyeball. Babe, you know exactly how much these tattoos are going to be. These tattoos, these tattoos, they gotta go. You want to further yourself in life or not? That's not allowed to you. Babe, I feel like you're being ungrateful.   I'm not being offensive. You know I'm just a blunt person. Well, I'm getting offended by what you're saying, so you're obviously being offensive. Well, toughen up.  What is wrong with you?  No. You're good with stuff. No. No, no, no. I'm not moving my tattoos. You literally just... How long are we on the phone with this guy? Whole time I was in the bathroom? I've been e-mailing and calling people all morning. But I mean, there's one here... You've been doing something more productive with your time. There's one here... Because this is a waste. There's one here that says it's in New York. They have really good reviews. I don't care. I really don't want to go to New York. Okay, and you don't have to. There's another one... Babe, I'm telling you I'm not... Look, look, look! There's one here! There's one here. It says it's five minutes away. We can go there! We're moving my tattoos. All right, well...  All right, well, if you want to miss out on life and all that, you just have to... How about missing out on life? If you want to...    They're not stupid, actually. Every single piece that I have represents somebody for my family.  No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. This is a snake represent. The fairy is for my grandmother. Do you want to continue? I know, you said the other one was for your grandmother. Writing. Do you want to continue? Like I said, I'm just trying to help you out and I feel like you're being ungrateful. I'm not being ungrateful.  I will go ahead and make the appointment and pay for it and everything you just got to show up. So, when are we doing this? They have availability next week. Availability. Learn how to speak before you come. Availability. They have it next week. If you want to go ahead and just take your time to think about it and calm down, I know you're mad right now, but honestly, I just don't get your perspective. This is for the good. This is for you. This is good for you. How is it good for me? You're not giving me any valid points. You're too angry right now. You're not really thinking things through it. All right? Just go settle down a little bit and just we'll talk in about a half hour whenever you like figure yourself out and calm down. Figure myself out. I don't have anything to figure out, babe. Seriously. Okay.  Like my tattoo don't define who I am. I feel personally like my personality speaks for itself. My work ethic speaks for itself. So if somebody wants to... They don't see that though. They don't see that though. They only see what they see. I'm not done talking. I'm not done talking. Go ahead. If somebody wants to stereotype me based all of my tattoos, then that says to me that I work with that situation. So every single thing that you said is invalid. But the world is going to see me some type of way. They're going to think I'm this or that. The world has their opinions on me anyway. Okay. Yes. I don't want to know. Would you not rather them have good opinions rather than... No. Don't they say that you get judged within like the first like five seconds of meeting somebody? But that's the thing. Everybody gets judged. I don't care. You have a more negative chance of being judged negatively. I think if I word that right, I probably didn't. No, you probably didn't. Right. Exactly. But I don't want you to get judged negatively just because you have blobs of ink all over you. Blobs of ink. So... Do you see how you're saying stuff though?  But like the way that you're saying it, it's just messed up.  So you're not being ungrateful? I'm not being ungrateful. And I'm actually getting kind of emotional about it. So you're not doing the tattoo removal? No. Even if I pay for it and I book it and I take you there and everything? Yes. You're not doing it? No, I'm not doing it. Okay, whoa. Maybe I'm just jealous. Jealous? Maybe I want tattoos and I haven't gotten one yet because I can't find the right freaking person to do my tattoos. Look at the camera on top of the end table over there. Look at the camera on top of the end table over there, bro. I want it.   Bro, because it's not, you know what I like. Okay. The only people I find that I can do my tattoos, they live in like California or freaking Florida and we're not over there yet. Did you forget what my tattoos meant? No. I know what my tattoos meant. I'll say it right now. No, no. Why? I didn't explain what my tattoos mean. You did a majority of it. You might as well let me say it now. No. Okay, why not? Because I have plans. What plans? I want to go tattoo school, so let's just not talk about it. Okay, okay, okay. I was going to give up a little too much. All right, all right. I get it. I get it. My fault. All right, guys. So that is it for today's video. I 100% do not feel like anything I was saying over there. I don't want to see any comments like that. If anything, I always told Janice that I feel like her tattoos fit her style and I'm not going to lie, they're kind of hot. Especially the one like on your rib and that. All right, all right. We're not going to get into it. We're not going to get into it. However, though, there is a bad stigma in like stereotyping when it comes to like tattoos and stuff like that. It's always viewed in a negative light. I feel like it shouldn't be like that. I feel like tattoos are hard, you know? And especially if you have meaningful tattoos like she has, they all have a significant meaning. If it means something to a person, you shouldn't be judging it in a negative way. So with all that being said, guys, it is now time for today's post notification shout-out. Today's post notification shout-out goes out to Nigel Stewart. Shout-out to you, bro. Thank you so much for having your post notifications turned on. If you guys want a post notification shout-out, all you guys got to do is like, comment, share and subscribe and turn your post notification bells on so you know whenever we post a new video and with all that being said, we'll see you guys in the next video.


our corrections bureau for programming and visitation. You can see our expenses have gone up about four and a half million dollars in the proposed. And our revenues increased a little over a half million dollars. A couple of board members have asked about how we're doing in terms of our unfunded and our funded positions. And you can see in this graph here in the fiscal year that we're concluding right now, we did have 32 and a half unfunded positions. We did receive some unanticipated growth money from our prison realignment AB 109 fund that comes down from the state. We were able to refund a number of correctional officer positions and then adding in the two non-sworn positions. If should your board approve this budget will be at 23 and a half unfunded positions. And then just another way of looking at it. This is our funded positions. So we're gonna be at 344 this year. Three years ago or at FY 1920, we were at 368. And when the pandemic hit, we've had to unfund a number of deputy positions, correctional positions and some professional staff positions. And you can see now that we're at about, really about a 10 year average at the 344 funded position mark. On our law enforcement side, some major program or staffing changes is that we have increased our funding for officer training in this proposed budget. We haven't done a lot of training outside of our mandated training during COVID. And so we're gonna be going back to our monthly trainings that we give every deputy sheriff 10 hours of in-service training. And then this year we're putting 85 deputies through active shooter training in light of what's going on, sadly around our country. And that's taking place this week and next week along with many other local law enforcement officers. We've also restarted our crisis intervention team training on teaching our deputies and reminding our deputies the best way to deal with people who are experiencing mental illness. And we've already held one session this year and we'll be holding another one in this calendar year as well. We did complete our DNA lab design. We brought in the consultant and use some DNA trust money to pay the consultant to come up with a design. And that has been completed. Our focused intervention team is up and running with one deputy and one sergeant. We're gonna be adding the second deputy back here in a few months when we get a couple of people off of training. And then your board might recall that we brought to your board a contract where we have leased, the county has leased a new sexual assault friends examiner's office. It is a, it's a much better office. It's, it provides survivors of sexual assault much more dignified care when they're going through an exam. Our safe team is conducting exams at that location now and it's going really well. And then some major emerging issues are gonna be the DNA lab construction. So we have the design now. We've hired our forensics team has a manager who has spent 20 years with the department of justice working on DNA cases. And so now we have to go into the construction phase of this. And I do have a substantial amount of money in several trusts for the construction. And I'm gonna need to work with your board and the CAO's office in terms of how we're finding those remaining dollars are gonna be needed to build that lab. And I just wanna remind you of what the value of a DNA lab is.  And we have to tell that survivor, hey, listen, we can only send a small number of samples to the state lab.  That's a tough conversation to have with the survivor of the family of say a homicide victim or the survivor of a sexual assault. When we have our own DNA lab and we have that sample or that evidence, we can turn that evidence around in 48 to 72 hours, two to three days versus six months to 18 months. One, to give some closure to the survivors of those crimes and also to get the perpetrator off the street so they don't violate or criminalize somebody else. I think it's hugely valuable. It's gonna be a game changer for law enforcement in this county and it's gonna serve this community well. Some other emerging issues that we're experiencing is our recruiting, hiring and retention. And we're doing pretty well on the law enforcement side, but the correction side, we're really having a hard time finding qualified applicants who can pass a background who are willing to work in a correctional facility. And we're not unique. This is going on around the state. And so right now we have 14 vacancies. I have 11 correctional officers off on family leave or injury. So of the 100 correctional officer positions, I only have 75 filled right now. And then the last emerging issue I wanna just briefly discuss is the fentanyl crisis that we're seeing every night. Our deputies and our police officers are coming across people who have fentanyl in their possession. They've overdosed on fentanyl. Our coroner's office is seeing a significant number of fentanyl overdose deaths. Every police officer and deputy sheriff in the county carries Narcan and it's routine now for the police to be saving people with Narcan. It happens all the time. And so we're really gonna have to focus on not just enforcement because we can't enforce our way out of a drug problem, but really just the education piece and the treatment piece of getting people to services they need to get them off this drug. Cause this drug is killing a lot of people. All right, moving on to the corrections bureau. Some of our changes that we're gonna be seeing coming up is we're gonna be opening all jail facilities. Let me back up. We still have two facilities closed, but the existing facilities that we have open, we're gonna open up to a visitation and the court is anticipating pulling the zero bail or a zero bail order that's in effect right now.  We're at about 360 people system wide right now, which is fairly low for us. Usually this time of year, say June of a non-pandemic year would be at roughly 500, 480, 500 somewhere around there. But we're gonna start seeing those numbers tick up and I was really happy to see Fernando Gerardo's report on the number of pretrial releases that his team is working on because we rely on those guys to keep our numbers down. And what I'd like to see moving forward is the courts, the DA, probation, public defender and sheriff work on a pretrial plan. 65 to 70% of our population is pretrial. They have not been convicted of the crime that they're in custody for. We have one guy who's been pretrial since 2013, almost nine years now, going on 10 years he'd been pretrial. We have a large number of people pretrial three years, four years, five years. And so we need the courts to take control of this and push these cases through so that the people can either be found not guilty and released or found guilty and move on to stay prison but our jail is not built to house people for this long a period of time. We've just completed our first year of our contract with WellPath on the mental health side and they're doing a fine job and that contract is going very well. Assembly Bill 1863 was passed and that has provided free electronic monitoring services to anybody who's on electronic monitoring meaning that the county can no longer charge. So some $500,000 was built into this budget to cover the charges that we used to refer back to the clients then now that the county is responsible for. I briefly touched on our staffing increases and going on to the major emerging issues. We talked about recruiting, hiring and retention on the operation side and I touched on the correction side. We're, your board last year approved a large project that we're going to replace all camera systems, alarms and control panel in the main jail. It's a very expensive project that's going to take two years to complete and then in terms of emerging issue, our jail and particularly the main jail is an aging facility that we're going to need to come up with a plan on because just the design, the way it's built and the maintenance on it is, it's in need of replacement. We've been working with real property on finding a modular building to replace the recovery center out front of the jail. And so we anticipate that modular building being put in place in the spring and the recovery center restarting either late spring or early summer of 23. And then I've touched on the jail meta. And so we talked to, or I heard the district attorney talk a little bit about crime rates and this is something that we monitor or I monitor very closely as does my executive staff and we report monthly to the FBI on a uniform crime report where all agencies have to report in on what the crime stats are for that month. And so this is a very accurate snapshot of where we are in the last 12 months. And so in Santa Cruz County in the unincorporated area, not the city of Santa Cruz, Capitola, Watsagore, Scotts Valley, but unincorporated Santa Cruz County, the number on the far left, the 9.87 is the number of crimes per 1,000 residents in unincorporated Santa Cruz County. And so the state average is, it's about two and a half times that. So we're at about 40% of the state average for our overall crime rate. Our property crime rates, less than half of the state average. And then you can see our violent crime rate is very low 1.6 compared to almost 4.4 on a state average. So crime-wise we're doing pretty well. This is a graph showing since 2010 how our overall crime rate has been going and what direction. And you can see before prison realignment we're at almost 27 crimes per 1,000 county residents. And now we're at about 11 crimes per 1,000 residents. So a reduction of about 60% in crime over the last 10 years. And then just touching on the homicide rate, fortunately we have not had a homicide in an unincorporated Santa Cruz County this year. We had three last year, there was a slight uptick in 19 and 20, but I was getting concerned that we were gonna start seeing this number elevate. You can see in the late 80s, Santa Cruz County in the unincorporated area was a particularly violent time in the late 80s, early 90s. And compared that to where we're at now we're doing quite well in this area. And then just one last slide on this in terms of five year increments, how we're doing, you can see from 88 to 92 there was 32 murders in Santa Cruz County. And then in 2013 to 17, there was two. That's a very significant reduction. For the last five years we've been at about the average that we've been for the last 30 years at 15. So some operational successes, our data transparency was completed. I wanna thank Sven Safford for his work on that. Our staff is about 75% complete on our profiling and bias training. Our forensic lab, which will be running the DNA lab there their accreditation is gonna be completed in February of 2023. And then the practice range is still in concept right now. And I already touched on the DNA lab. Other successes, and I wanna call this out because in our world, this is very important in terms of our lateral and hiring incentive program your board authorized us to provide a $25,000 incentive to experienced police officers that were willing to transfer to the sheriff's office. And before this program started it was rare when somebody came to the sheriff's office most people transfer over to Santa Clara Police Department Sunnyvale or some agencies over the hill where they can make up quite a bit more money. And so with that hiring incentive we've been able to hire and put to work 14 police officers in the last couple of years and we're scheduled to hire three more this month. So it'll be 17 lateral hires in about two years. And so I know this program's working I meet with everybody each person that we hire I meet with for an hour and I asked the laterals I said, Hey, I asked him does this incentive program did that help you come over here and absolutely it does not just the 25,000 but the way that it's structured and it's structured that once they complete training they receive that $25,000. Scott's Valley Police has a $40,000 hiring bonus but they structured over three years so they get pieces of it over three years. And so the attractiveness is that one lump payment of 25,000 it might help them get a down payment or first last on a rent or something like that. So it's been a very helpful program. We are allocated for three more and I anticipate coming back to your board in the future to keep that program going. And the same goes with the correctional officer hiring incentive program. We are getting people who are applying to us because that $10,000 hiring bonus is an incentive. Another success is we've been able to reestablish a relationship with the Pajaro Valley Unified School District and reestablish our school resource officer program at Aptos High School. And we had a deputy on campus all year working in conjunction with a mental health worker and that team did very well. And the school and the district was very happy. I don't know if you guys saw the article in the paper but there was a survey that was completed with students, faculty and parents and overwhelmingly there was support for that program at PVUSD. Because of the pandemic, we stopped our volunteer program and now we are starting to re-institute that program. So you'll see at your different service centers that you sometimes visit, you'll see some volunteers coming back and restaffing positions there. And then the last thing I wanna touch on is the arm prohibited person system grant with gun violence being at the level that it is with some of these terribly remarkable school shootings that we're seeing, we've been trying to come up with ways that we can reduce the chances of gun violence in Santa Cruz County. We've done gun buybacks. We have a team that only works gun and drug cases but we were selected by the Department of Justice as one of three counties to receive funding to pay for a deputy to work on cases where the court has ordered somebody to give up their firearms, whether it was because of a gun violence restraining order, they were convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanors. And there's several other reasons why, if they have a mental illness and the court rules them to turn in those firearms, oftentimes they don't. And so this deputy's job and the team that he works on is to go to these homes and make sure that those firearms are confiscated when the court tells the person they can no longer possess firearms. And we've seized a lot of rifles and guns behind that program. So that concludes my presentation. And I'm requesting that your board approve this proposed 2223 budget for the Sheriff Coroner's Office including any supplemental material as recommended by the County Administrative Officer. And I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you, Sheriff Coroner Hart. Are there questions or comments from members of the board? President Fearson. Yes. Thank you, Sheriff Hart and your team, your whole team for your work that's been very difficult years with the CZU fire, the evacuations that in the aftermath of that of COVID you really held steady as you can for your services to Santa Cruz County. And this is in addition to your ongoing work in investigations of patrol and other corrections and other roles including the substations in Felton and Boulder Creek which are very much approved. And I'm telling you, you have a great representative and Sergeant Jason Dunn and his team up there. They've done a fantastic job and the people of Santa Rosa Valley appreciate it very much. The, you've answered my questions on staffing and capital improvements, but I want to reiterate what I said at the first before I think you were in the room about the criminal justice council that you conducted in cooperation with the other four police agencies in this County for a comparative review, a regional comparative view that's been recognized nationally as the first one of its type. That's our Sheriff's Department, that's you and your personnel and I just really appreciate it and please pass that on how much we appreciate your leadership in this and congratulations on being re-elected without opposition. Well, thank you and I'm glad you brought that up because I felt like that was a really important report that the criminal justice council put out and supervisor friend was the leading voice on that and he did a really fine job of wrangling all those chiefs and people from my office into the same room to get that work done. So thank you for acknowledging that. Thank you, Supervisor McPherson. Supervisor Friend. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Sheriff Hart. First, I want to acknowledge your most recent promotion. I want to acknowledge Chief Deputy Freitas outstanding promotion in your department. You've done a really good job developing internal talent as has under Sheriff Medina with Chief Clark and Chief Freitas. I have a lot of confidence in the next generation, so to speak of the Sheriff's office continuing to do. Well, I want to reiterate a point that Supervisor McPherson made in regards to the San Lorenzo Valley, but make it in regards to my district, which is that the service centers in and of themselves are not a guaranteed thing. As you know, this was something that was brought by a previous sheriff that you had served under but needed to be maintained by you in particular during some of the downturns and even through COVID. And they really do play a very important role for our neighborhoods and for us, we've had a little bit of turnover there, but everybody that you've put within the office in Aptos has been unbelievably responsive to my constituents and always available. And so just a real deep appreciation for the neighborhood service model that you've created. And I think that the degree that we can maintain those service centers and doing forward is important. I'm glad to hear that the volunteers will be back because then we can probably get them back open a little bit more than they've been able to be to the public, which is also great. And to a point as well, I know we mentioned that the Criminal Justice Council before, but your agency was one of the first to really take a deep dive into what the findings were and to proactively decide that there were gonna be some upgrades made to what you're already doing. Now, with that said, your agency was also way ahead of number of other agencies within the county for some of the policies and procedures that you and your team had implemented about five years ago. Well, in advance of that with the 21st century policing, but we're not done yet. And I appreciate the work in particular of a undersheriff Medina in regards to what we're working on this year with behavioral health, which is one of the real underpinning issues with its relationship with frontline law enforcement and really the data collection around what that looks like within our county. I don't think that I think people take for granted how progressive and forward thinking our local law enforcement community is. It just doesn't look like this across the country in the same way, this level of collaboration, this level of forward thinking and the fact, quite frankly that you ran unopposed and as did the district attorney, I think is a very strong statement about what the community feels in support of its local law enforcement community. And you should take a lot of pleasure in that and also recognize that you are serving this community very well and creating a culture very well. Lastly, I'll just end on this. Your agency's been through a lot of trial and tribulation, not just with COVID, but obviously with the loss of a remarkable person. And I just want to appreciate your advocacy and support and family support over us working on the Wilbrook Park project in Damon's honor. It's really an unbelievable testament to the entire community coming forward and your line level deputies.  It's just a beautiful thing to turn tragedy into hope. And I appreciate your entire partnership and support on that. Thank you, Sheriff Hart. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Friend. Supervisor Kennedy. Yeah, thank you, Sheriff Hart. Two quick questions. One is I really appreciate the full staffing of the FIT team and I could see their vehicles moving around town and I know we're all grateful for it. It's the secondary component, which is the jail beds available and what's the timeline? If not, what's the timeline looking for that? Yeah, the beds are available and we are using them now. We're using them a little bit differently in that we're not dedicating a unit. The FIT clients are being spread out throughout the facility as they're getting classified, which according to our FIT team right now is the model that they want to use rather than putting them all together. They think they might be more effective this way. Thank you. That's the best news I've heard in this budget hearing. I really appreciate it. Second question is we are coming up on July 4th and I know our beaches from the North Coast all the way south are always impacted and I imagine with high gas prices we tend to be a destination in the region for folks who are looking to get away from the heat and have a good time. How are preparations coming for the July 4th and frankly the rest of the summer in terms of basic public safety in our beaches and coastlines? So I'll start with the summer wide question. We have three deputies who are dedicated full time to beach patrol in addition to the deputies that are working their regular beats and they are present at a lot of the high volume, high use type beaches and they're doing a good job out there right now. And then in terms of the 4th of July we're gonna have a lot of deputies out all weekend long starting on Friday night all the way through Monday night and we're gonna start our messaging here in the next day or two in terms of fireworks, alcohol and all the issues that go along with that. So I agree with you, I think it's got potential to be sort of a weekend long challenge for residents and law enforcement but we are well staffed for the weekend. All right, thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Coonerty. Supervisor Caput. Thanks for the report. I, you know, every job has a risk and responsibility but I can't think of one where you're damned if you don't and damned if you do like being a deputy sheriff or working in the sheriff's department. The level of expectation is set so high you can have a career of five, six years everything goes real well but if you make one mistake that the public focus is incredible. That's really tough, you got a tough job and I respect you for doing it but there's voluntary overtime and then there's involuntary overtime. How bad is that with your department right now? Voluntary overtime I can understand sometimes but involuntary is basically you don't have anybody to take an extra shift you just tell somebody you got to do it and that's where you get into trouble you're tired, you're irritated, you're hungry and you got to do another shift. So on the law enforcement side we're doing okay where we don't have we call it mandatory overtime on the corrections side with only having about 75 working correctional officers we are doing a lot of mandatory overtime and some of these folks are working their regular four day a week, 12 hour day job and then they're having to pick up one sometimes two shifts a week in addition to that depending on their team and who's off, we only allow one person off on vacation at a time but there's also been a lot of sickness so people are coming down with COVID or something else and they're not able to come into work so to answer your question it is a burden on the correction side and our staff is overworked and we really as managers try to keep an eye on how they're doing and checking in with them and if they need a day off we try to get them a day off. We're hiring as fast as we can but there's just not that many people willing to do this work so we're doing the best we can with that but I truly believe our correction staff is working a lot of hours but they're hanging in there. Yeah, and then I did see in there the word it was invent at all or something like that I have no knowledge of that at all I'm assuming it's a drug though. It is, it's a synthetic opiate and it's a lot stronger than heroin and people are thinking they're taking maybe a stimuli cocaine but it might have some fentanyl in it which is a depressant and so they are overdosing on it and people are taking pills that are made in another country or somewhere else that aren't pharmaceutical grade that have fentanyl in it and then some people are just taking straight fentanyl because of the high or the low or whatever it is they're trying to get and it's very powerful and it's knocking them down and it's killing people. Okay, what age range is worse and most prevalent? It's not a college drug, is it? It's an interesting, and heroin is the same way but there's really no demographic we see all ages as young as 16 as old as 75. It doesn't matter how much money you make, where you live, if you get caught up in that it's pretty indiscriminate. It's gonna get you eventually if you're using that drug. Yeah, well anyway, thank you for all your service and good luck. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Cabot. Sheriff, I'm glad to hear that we've got 85 people in active shooter training. I mean, as you said in response to some of the worrying trends, we're seeing a country-wide. There's a lot of critique around the country for school resource officers but it does seem like with the approval rating particularly from the Aptos-Paro Unified School District that we're doing something right. Is there a significant difference in the way that we carry out the school resource officer program with maybe the way others around the country do? Well, I've heard a lot of the advocates talk about this school-to-prison pipeline and it doesn't exist in Santa Cruz County. We did it, we looked back on some data and so for the three years preceding COVID when schools were fully functioning and all the kids were attending between the three high schools we service, Aptos, Soquel and San Lorenzo Valley, there was a total of two physical arrests in three years and the only reason why we arrested those kids is a parents refused to come pick them up and so we had to take them to the hall and then eventually their parents came and picked them up. But we try to work with the school on solving problems without getting justice system involved. We don't get involved in school rules and violations. That's up to the school to handle those and we encourage our school resource officers to establish relationships with the students and the faculty so that people are comfortable around them. And I think it's a good program. I've always been an advocate for it and I think now that people are seeing the value in it in PVUSD, I think they appreciate the program as well. Yeah, it sounds like it. So I mean, that's fantastic to hear that the officers are able to serve as a resource, an informational resource and that we've only really relied on the arrests very seldomly. That's right. I mean, of course, it's also fantastic that we're able to put those school resource officers to use through the summer, patrolling the beaches. I know that's been very much appreciated by constituents in the first district as the live-up beaches, as was mentioned, can get a bit rowdy in the summer. How certain are we that the courts are going to change the zero bail policy and is that like July 1st or was it contemplated day for that? Last I heard it was July 1st and Chief Radis is nodding his head. So yeah, it's an effective July 1. Okay, well, that's good to hear. I know I've also heard a lot of concern about revolving door at the jail lately and I know you've had your hands tied in many ways. So it'll be good to, somebody's get back to normal. And as the city moves forward to move up the San Lorenzo camp down here, are you gonna be assisting them and not operation at all? Yeah, I've offered some resources to the city police and Chief Escalante and I have talked on the phone. We're gonna meet in the next week or two and really figure out what it is they need and if there's any way we can help, we will definitely provide the services. That's great. And then, I mean, it's also nice to hear the success of the lateral programs and hiring deputies, that's very encouraging. Is there anything we can do on the correctional officer front? Is, as you said over and over again, just really demanding work? Yeah, it is, it's hard work and the folks that work there are locked in the facility for 12 hours a day, just like the incarcerated population and with COVID, it's wearing an N95 12 hours a day is also very challenging. But we're working internally and we're always talking to the personnel department about what else it is we can do to attract people. And at the end of the day, I think money talks and that's what this generation is looking for. And we're unfortunately right next door to a massive economic engine that can afford to pay people more than we can here in Santa Cruz County. And so what I find to be the most successful recruit is somebody who's grown up here, who's from this area, they have established family, they might even have established housing and they wanna stay here and serve the community where they grew up. And that's the group that we're really targeting. Okay, challenging, but hopefully, yeah, we can find more hometown recruits. Yeah, and I'll just end by also praising the community policing program. If folks feel very well resourced with Sergeant Hopp and Lieutenant Baldridge. So thanks very much for that. Great, they do a fine job. Thank you. All right, any, not take public comment. Anyone who wishes to address us on the sheriff's budget, please approach the podium. Thank you. My name is Becky Steinberg. I live in the rural area of Aptos and this is a tough time for law enforcement at a time when our nation has been screaming defund police. You've really gotten a little respect for the important work you do and I think we've seen the effects of that. So I wanna thank you and everyone that serves in the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department for the good work you do. I have some questions. Whatever happened with the North Coast Radio Tower that was supposed to improve emergency communication up on the North Coast? I heard it was canceled. I'm very interested in effective communication up on the North Coast especially. And I wonder if that tower did get canceled or if it is just put on hold. I'm happy to hear the volunteers are coming back. The Mid County Safety Center has essentially been closed to the public even though it's been supported financially by the taxpayers. So I'm glad to hear that that will be reopening. There's a huge problem with mail theft in our county. Huge problem. And I don't know what your office can do. The post office seems rather unconcerned because it is so rampant. But I would be interested in working together with your office to try to figure out something to do in the rural county areas for mail theft. I am really happy about that. I didn't hear anything about it but the abandoned vehicle abatement program, I fully support and hope that that can remain funded and removing these vehicles that often get left out in the rural area and sometimes even get set on fire, which is really scary. So I'm supportive of that program continuing. I am still worried about the number of jail suicides that I have heard about, especially Mr. Kohut, which really should have been prosecuted but he's not, he's gone. Finally, my question is how much Prop 172 money is? Good afternoon now, I'm James Healing Whitman. I'm glad I stuck around to listen to this. I really appreciated the definition of the danger, the fentanyl. Boy, it's never been worse to just don't do it. What's happened in our society where up through the 70s, and I even believe when I went to high school in Palo Alto in the 80s, people brought rifles to school and it wasn't an issue. What has changed in our society? There are so many things going on. I appreciate this. There was a lot of information I shared to, I wrote two pages and it just seems like let's just keep working with law enforcement. I mean, my personal experience and I was thinking about this for several minutes, probably 199 out of 200 times I've engaged with law enforcement, it's actually been positive. I honestly couldn't think of something that was bad even if we were almost yelling at each other. So I think law enforcement has a really difficult job. I know after the recent shooting in Texas, so this time I'm going to look at my notes. Previous police chief Andy Mills put out an article within a week of that and he had some really interesting observations to say about law enforcement. And I wish I knew the date, I could say it, but law enforcement has a very challenging job and for the most part they're doing great. I don't always witness that with other people, but mostly with myself and I stand up when I need to. So thank you. Thank you, Mr. Whitman. Anyone else here in the chambers? Is there anyone on Zoom? We have no speakers on Zoom, Chair. And I'll return it to the board for action. Mr. Chair, I'll move the recommended actions. All right, motion by Supervisor Friend, seconded by Supervisor McPherson to approve the 22-23 Sheriff Coroner budget. Any further discussion? None, clerk roll call vote please. Supervisor Friend. Aye. Coonerty. Aye. Caput. Aye. McPherson. Aye. And Koenig. Aye. So item passes unanimously. Thank you. To the entire Sheriff Coroner team. That is the last item on our regular agenda today. We will now recess budget hearings until Tuesday, June 28th at 1 p.m. And we'll do a final review of the 22-23 budget. Thank you.
