Time for raid? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you're raiding, it's about two things, okay? Should I bring anything to the SexCultDoom dungeon meeting this weekend? No, there's no- that's not a real- Yeah, it's about two things. Consumes in game, Elixir of the Mongoose, Elixir of giants, Consecrate at a sharpening of stone, consumes in real life. So it's all about you. Okay, let me get in discord with these guys. Okay, I'm unmuted. Telling, What are you doing in my swamp and is amazing. So, look at this. Chat. Look, look, look, look, look, look. Slayer's crest. Ooh. That's a big damage chat. Oh! I just hit for like 5k, dude. Is your first time doing the Axl Slayer's crest? It is. I don't even have full everything. Two damage, two damage.  I'm about to get aggro. Dude, if I were to remake Vanilla WoW, I would change a couple of things with Paladins. I would take their, like, seal of command, and I would make it do like 700% damage. Just, yeah, just like a solid 7 times more damage than it currently does. And then I think it'd be fine. I think I'd be really, really good for the game. You know what would be kind of fun? Is if in Burning Crusade, we just had like a straight up, like we really made the raids like a show, dude. Like the toxic raid leader, like actually toxic. Not like some people who like whine whenever like, Oh, he yelled at him. Not like that, but like, the genuinely toxic raid. Like, I don't know. I think it'd be funny because I'm thinking about some things with how I want to do Burning Crusade different. And I actually look at how a Soda's project 30 turned out. Most EU raids are like that. I love it. I just think it'd be funny. Prediction, long prediction chat will. I lose my world buffs before they expire. Yes or no. 30 minute prediction. The tables are open. Yes is doubt. No is believe. Well, I lose my world buffs. I doubt you will keep them. So yes, chat.  Oh, that's a good drop. Hey, wait, drop. Oh, nice. Chat, look, we got an, we got a, I think that's our first one. That's our first misplaced silver one.  I've got major mana potions. Brick. Oh my gosh. I just saved for like 5k again. What happened to patch? Band of reanimation. Patchwork yo, brick patchwork. But death bargain. This is the best healing shield in the game. For holy paladins and rest or shamans of your horde digested hand of power. Gross. You guys got to make sure to run out if you get the injection. All the melee need to kill the slimes. Melee need to kill slimes right now.  Are they getting cleansed early? Yeah. I think they're getting cleansed early. Nice. Good job.  Rhyme covered mantle. Those are actually good, dude. Type of loot council is weird. Makes no sense not having an open loot council. What? Having an open loot council is the worst possible thing you could ever do for your guild. It's literally just, it's literally just asking for a little bit.  What? Auto shot, Abernathy, 1,000 damage. You just cursed our raid. You cursed our raid, Aber. I'm doing flesh fit. Okay. How do you get a 1k with it? What? Aber. Open loot council is asking for clicks to destroy the guild. Yeah, exactly. It's so bad. Like even in crusade, we had like a few clicks start to form. They would like try and like start a coup and like rile everyone up and they're like f this guild and they leave and then everyone's like, okay. And then we just kind of move on and like next man up and then all of a sudden they just, did they finish classic? I don't even know. You know what I mean? It's not my mantle. They try to make a big drama and then all of a sudden it's like, no, you're out. Sorry.  Thank you. How do I convince my guild to raid in Naxx as in one rat on the server? Two weeks. You said you had a new job training. No, if your guild can't clear Naxx because you have a rep pal and they're terrible or because they have a they think they think they can't clear because of a hybrid in their guild and they're terrible. Now if there's a difference between not being able to clear and like trying to speed run, right? They've been trying to go for a world record speed run. Then yeah, maybe that's a different story. Your life is forfeit. Oh, crit. Okay, exorcism, consecrate. I'm going to go ahead and get my slayer's crest out. Keep my vengeance up with a slayer's crest.  It gives me 15% more damage. Holy and holy and physical damage. Resist, resist, resist. See, it just dropped. That's that white thing. It's the icon right there. I have a weak aura that shows it so that I can brain trigger. Rise, my soldiers. Rise and fight once more. He purses the mages. Oh, nice. Good job. That's the first time we did that. Very fricking good. Nice. Very good, dude. One phase. This is the first time we won phase them. I'm going to be honest with y'all. If there's a fight where I die, this could be it, chat. This right here, this is the winner go home. Right here. This fight is the lose condition. Believer's doubters, pay close attention. Oh, I was kind of close, dude. I was kind of close. I keep parrying. Why do I keep getting parried? Dodge. Dodge. Dodge, dip, dive, and dodge. Let us end that, please. No, I'm not going to die. Maybe, I hope. Okay, back to one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here we go. End is upon. Chat, it takes two to tango. No jumping. Ooh, takes two to tango, chat. It takes a whole guilt to not wipe to this. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. Two more. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. After this one goes up, you go to one. Go to one. This is a problem. Sunder's back up quick. Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. Big damage, damage, damage, damage. Nice. Very good. Ice beam helmet. Wait for these to despawn in here. Then I'll hop a GMPP and go, sorry, G. Nice, chat. I think that's it. Has he died yet? I have not. I have not. 45 minutes.  Do you have any issues or something? I do actually have any issues. No, my bow doesn't get wet. I guess why. But actually, that's not true. I've never wiped. Dance game? Chat. What are you dance gaming for?  So if you wipe in real life, you wipe in game. Hello? Of course, I'm not going to wipe in real life. That's why you pop consumes in real life, because we had consumes in game. Nice. Inevitable doom. Oh, no. Just kidding. A bubble. Oh, save, dude. Oh, man. That would have been so bad, dude. Oh, that would have been so bad. That would have been such a funny way to lose.  It would have been so bad. I have to leave my potion cooler. Ah, man. Just the life, you know. One week, one person has their buffs left in game. No. Oh, my gosh, dude. Bubble on the cooldown. Dude, one more tick and I was done. Well, let's see. What prediction do you have going right now?  The whole raid? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You have 16 minutes. Okay, so we have to kill as fan somehow in 16 minutes. Okay, I'm going upstairs. I don't even, yeah, I'm going upstairs. I don't think it's possible. No, that's cheating. That doesn't count. I got people from your chat whispering me already.  It's unbelievable. Nice. Ooh, Iblis, look at that. There's another splinter and another splinter. Look at that, dude. I actually do actually need to go run to the bathroom. If I'm logged out, it doesn't burn my time. Chat, I'll be right back. He won't react fast enough. How do we know? Somebody bop him. Somebody bop him so he has forbearance. Oh, yeah. So we summon him and he takes the summon. Yeah. How them bops him and then they pull the boss and everybody else is outside. No, he just bopped right before Rezu. So he's going to be gone when he comes back in. Oh, yeah. Okay, I'm back. Okay. What? This doesn't count. Oh, he's hurt there. This doesn't count. He might survive. No. See, that's why we had to do it with a trash. You had to do it easy. The mobs are on him. So you can't hear it. Watch him get this gun and booty bay. Somebody. I will still, I will still, but here's the thing. I still survive. Easy clap, boys. I think I've ever been de-eyed. The great poop boy. I think we got some water. Great poop boy. Best fan wife of Raid. Oh, God.  Does this mean that as far as the only one that's going to have a popsicle? Yeah, it's fine. Reverse.


I am Dr. Devavinsa, consultant in clinical hematology and bone marrow transplantation at Manipar Hospital, Dwarka. Today I would like to talk about one of the most common hematological disorders that are seen in our day-to-day practice, that is anemia. Anemia or low hemoglobin basically can be caused by two causes, one if there is decreased production of red blood cells that can be because of nutritional deficiency, bone marrow failures or it could be because of some chronic diseases or infections or if there is an increased destruction of red blood cells as in seen in thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, some enzyme deficiencies like G6PD deficiency or if there is production of antibodies in our body which self-destroy our red blood cells as in autoimmune rheumatic anemia. Nutritional deficiency or leading to anemia is the most common cause of anemia that is seen and it will be very surprising to know that 50% of Indian women suffer from some grade of nutritional anemia, most commonly iron deficiency anemia. What is the reason that anemia is so common in our country? The reason is that we have a very poor dietary intake, second is lot of food fats that exist in our diets. We are majority a population of vegetarians and the vegetarian diet, the iron content is there but the type of iron in our vegetarian diet is not readily absorbed. Vitamin D12 which is another important nutrient required for production of red blood cells is very very low in vegetarian diet leading to high incidence of iron deficiency and other nutritional anemias in Indian population. How do we diagnose, how does the patient present to us with anemia? Generally the patients have symptoms of extreme tiredness, they feel lethargic whole day, they say that they don't feel like doing anything, increased irritability, some patients they complete of seeing blackish shadows in front of their eyes, so whenever you have these symptoms we should suspect of anemia because the unfortunate part is that most of the anemias in our country go undiagnosed. Whenever you have these symptoms you should contact your dermatologist, first investigation that we do in case of anemias is to do a complete blood count with a peripheral smear because it gives us lot of information about the type of anemia, what can be the possible cause of it. Once we know the type of anemia we go ahead with further investigation depending on what we are suspecting could be the underlying cause like you know iron profile, we can do vitamin B12 or red cell folate level and some specialized investigations may be also be required depending what we are suspecting. Some patients may even require some invasive procedures like endoscopy or even bone marrow examination. Coming to the management of iron deficiency anemia where we have come a long way, gone other days when we used to give our patient those long term oral supplements which used to have very bad gastrointestinal effects or painful iron injections, today we have very safe and effective IV preparations which are very safe to take, very tolerable and also very very effective. So I would really suggest everybody who has any symptoms that can suggest of anemia to contact your hematologist immediately and get treated as soon as possible. Thank you.


Hey guys, before starting today's video, I want to share something really important to you, why you actually can't make money out of absence. So I want to show you guys something. This is one of my clients account. Today, he made $55. Yesterday was 32. He did a consultation with me.  So last 28 days, it was $2,000. So I'm going to share a lot of information today why you actually can't make money with absence. It's going to help you guys a lot understanding the absence business overall. So watch this video till the end and I will answer any question you have on the comment section. Thanks. So you've been working with absence for a very long time, but you are not quite there yet. Like you're not even making $20 a day. And it's a really big problem because you're actually spending your time into something that's actually not working. And all you guys know that time is money. So eventually you're actually losing a lot of money of your life. So here are really six things that I want to share that actually hampering your absence business, not just absence business with any kind of business that you're doing. So number one is you are actually focusing on money. What I mean by that is actually you're not picking up the quality that people actually want. You're focusing on money. You're focusing on the CPC, the click through rate, what kind of content you want to write and which is the highest paying CPC content. And you're just wasting a lot of time instead of like trying to write the best piece that you can afford. I can give you a really good example. There's a website called WP beginners and at the when they started back in 2013 or like 15 or something from the very beginning, they're very focused on user centric. That means if you have a problem with your WordPress and you type it out on Google, Google will eventually lend you to a WordPress beginner website because they actually researched what kind of content people want and they put out really high quality content. And that's how WP beginner is right now a billion like a million dollar company. The number two is you don't have a specific goal. What I mean by specific goal is that you're like, you know what?  If that doesn't work, I'm going to create another one. This is not a very specific goal. You need to have a very specific goal on what kind of investments that you want to make. For example, AdSense arbitrage is a very short term investment. You're going to spend money to make money, right? Blogging. It's a long-term investment.  Creating a web app. Not only you're focusing on AdSense, but you're kind of focusing on the SaaS platform. If you guys don't know what SaaS is, it's called software as a service. So you're kind of like, you need to have the most specific goal like what is my goal for the year 2020? What is my goal for the year 2021? How can I create my AdSense business from $10 a day to $100 a day? What do I need to do? Do I need more traffic? Do I need to target more good countries? What is my locality? What kind of language I'm writing? You need to have a very specific goal. Number three is buying all the courses. I have a lot of clients who actually don't do any of the work that I put on. They just want to buy all the courses that they can find on the internet and maybe someday they'll get a magic course, which is kind of like I help them to make more money and more money. Which is, I don't know if that's true. I don't want to hurt their feelings, but it certainly is not. It doesn't matter whatever your course you want to buy. That course needs to be really good. The instructor needs to be helpful to their students. It's not like a $10 evoc or $100 video course. A $10 evoc can have as much as effect as a $1000 or $100 video course. So you need to make sure that the course that you get, you do understand and you do the work. You have to do the work that is no alternative. You need to give you time and energy and money to do the work. So number four is falling into fake accents gurus.  You need to follow a really good instructor when it comes to accents. I have seven years working in accents AdMob. I actually worked in Google back in 2017 and 18. Funny enough, I was working in the Android department. So I kind of know how the Google thing works, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who are more qualified, more experienced than me in terms of when it comes to building a business with accents. So if you find a really good instructor, please keep with them.  I'm talking with you on live chat or Facebook. That's it. Be friends with them. You know, the more you it's your profit. Number five is overdoing something. I have a couple of clients who are like, Oh my God, is the SEO? What is the long tail ranking system? I need to write 600 long articles. I need to write 200 words articles. I need to do this. I need to have backlinks. You know, all this, like you guys are overdoing, please, please do not overdo do not complicate stuff. That's easy. If the SEO is not working for you, try to approach different kinds of channels. You have Twitter, you have Facebook, Pinterest, try to create a business on those. If you look, if you go to the similar web and you put those social medias monthly traffic, there are over one billion traffic. And if you can't get at least 10,000 every month from those channels, it's your loss actually because you are kind of like a focusing only on the SEO. Do not focus on the Google that much. You can also focus on other terms of the internet, like being Yandex and many other things. I'm going to give you a personal advice, which is if you know more than one language other than English, like you can be from India, no in the Gujarati, Malati, Bangla, whatever your language will be or you can be from Saudi Arabia, no Arabic or any kind of language, try to create a community on your own. In that way, you can be more advanced than any other people. I have a client who has a national curricular questions sharing website. He helps students to take exams in Arabic language. And most of his website is actually on Arabic language and he gets 50,000 organic traffic from Google. That's the power of a community base and he's pretty quite happy with his improvement and everything. So number six, I'm going to talk about is trying to cheat the system. So I don't know if you guys kind of like feel this way, but a lot of you guys try to cheat the system like you pay 10 to 15 people to come to your website, click on your ads and then stay on the advertisers' website. So making sure that your clicks doesn't approve as invalid clicks, you really think that Google doesn't know that. Google knows everything. Google knows what you're doing, what you're eating, who you're seeing every day. Google knows everything. So if you're trying to cheat the system, what's going to happen is that you're going to get banned. You're going to get suspended from Google. And one of the worst part about getting banned from Google is you can't open another account because they know you very well. So try to not cheat the system, try to play within the system. You can bend the laws, but don't break the laws. And that's how you can actually have a sustainable actions business. And the reason for me creating this video is kind of like trying to find the worst thing in your business and criticize it and making sure that you actually don't do those stuff. And that's it. I hope you guys have a wonderful day. If you haven't click on the subscribe button and watching this video, do click on the subscribe button. I will share more videos, click on the notification buttons, make sure that you don't miss any of my video. If you have any question, please do put on the comment section and I will answer your question as soon as I can. Thanks. Bye.


Stevenson picks up the 85-39 win over Hoodie here tonight at Owings Mills Gymnasium, Glenn Clark with Coach Jackie Boswell. Coach before we get to a senior night just a team that's been through a tough stretch of late really seemed to bounce back nicely here in your penultimate game of the regular season. Yeah that seems to be the theme of our season just bouncing back from different things so hopefully this is our last bounce back and we just keep rolling you know we still got a great shot at this and I still believe in this team and and they came back out and they keep working hard so anything can happen when you're working hard and we're just gonna keep looking forward that's gonna be our our theme for now. All right well let's talk about both your seniors we'll start with Hannah because she had quite the what what a what a final home game right like what a way to celebrate senior night for Hannah. Well it's just always special I mean there's so many lessons that come out of playing on a team and being on a college team and so many sacrifices that go into four years it's hard it's not easy and I thought tonight was pretty special for her as well to be able to play with her sister for those couple minutes with her sister being a freshman you know Savannah had that chance last year with her sister chance so those kind of moments I feel like I hope it sticks with them I know it certainly sticks with us as coaches we're just you know really proud of them and those are the the times that all the hard work seems to pay off for. It's really cool and then Savannah you have the moment late in the shot clock right where she could have taken the three instead she drives she gets that bucket how much does that mean to everybody. Well I mean Savannah's just been really solid for us this year she really bought her time over the last couple years I couldn't be more proud of how much she's playing how hard she's playing for us she gives us a big spark off the bench and and come on lately now she's starting to score a little bit too so it's gonna be fun down the stretch to see what we can do. And then about like a hundred other really cool moments there in the fourth quarter as you had a lot of players are able to get in and knock down some buckets hit some free throws getting the scoresheet really cool for everybody. Well you know one of the things so we asked the seniors what do they want for this last week and they said that they wanted to be able to play senior night where everybody can contribute and everybody can get in the game and you know they led it their teammates supported it and then everybody got into their job so I'm glad they got their wish. Awesome moment all right coach appreciate take the time congratulations on the win best a look at like homing on Saturday. Great thank you. She's Jackie Boswell I'm Glenn Clark for GoMustangSports.com


Bonjour tout le monde. A few days ago, I got a letter from Jonathan in Ontario. He wrote to me because he's concerned that Canada is on track to end up like the UK or France, where they're facing skyrocketing cases of COVID-19. For Jonathan, he's thinking first and foremost of the lives of the people around him. Jonathan closes his letter by saying, whatever needs to be done, I value the economy, but I value my own friends, family, and fellow citizens' lives first. Thank you, Jonathan, for reaching out. I understand what you're saying, and I totally agree. But here's the thing. By putting the health of your friends, family, and fellow citizens first, you're actually doing the very best thing to protect the economy, too. We don't have to choose. We just have to act. On Saturday, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta all saw record-breaking new cases. Dr. Tam has warned that this may mean hospitals soon reach a breaking point. In Nunavut, there have been outbreaks, too. As the government of Nunavut announced on Monday, a territory-wide lockdown will go into effect tomorrow morning. No one wanted to see this news, but it was a possibility we had to be ready for. Our government has provided a three-month supply of personal protective equipment to Nunavut, just like the other territories, so communities are prepared if bad weather delays shipments. We've also provided funding through the Safe Restart Agreement, as well as additional direct support for communities through the Indigenous Community Support Fund. The federal government will continue to support the people of Nunavut, just like we will for all Canadians. That's exactly what I told the premiers when we met last week. At the same time, though, I also reminded them that resources are not infinite. Since March, we have sent over 312 million pieces of individual protective equipment to provinces and territories, including masks, gloves, blouses, and facial screens. We have also sent over 12 million decouvilliers and hundreds of fans. That adds to the contribution of more than $25 billion that we have invested in provinces and territories to support Canadians across the country. Whether it be through the Safe Restart Agreement, the Fund for a Safe Restart Entrance, or transfers for essential workers, health care, and the North, we are sure that Canadians will receive the funds they need. We are also continuing to prepare to distribute a safe and effective vaccine across the country as soon as it is ready. On this subject, we received yesterday other encouraging news concerning a second vaccine candidate, the one produced by Moderna. Canada has already secured tens of millions of doses of the Moderna vaccine candidate, along with a wide range of other promising options. Like Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna has already submitted their vaccine candidate for Health Canada review, an important step in assessing efficacy and safety. This is good news, but remember, a vaccine can only protect you once you've gotten the shot. So until that happens, we all need to double down to get this second wave under control. Particularly speaking to young people, this virus might seem like it's more of a concern for your grandparents than for you. But even if you're young and healthy, getting COVID-19 can be incredibly serious. It could leave you with heart and lung issues, or it could cost you your life. I don't say this to scare you. I say this because we need to be honest with ourselves about what we're facing.  You need to avoid gatherings. You need to get your flu shot, and you need to download and use the COVID Alert app. If you get a positive COVID-19 test result, the first thing you need to do is open your COVID Alert app and enter the one-time code your Provincial Health Authority provides. This will anonymously notify people you may have been in contact with so that they can get tested too. Then go right home, go straight home, and isolate. Don't stop at the grocery store. Don't stop to say hi to your neighbor in their driveway. Go home. And after you've done all that, call someone you love. A positive test result can be scary. I remember how we felt after Sophie got her results back in March. There's uncertainty and anxiety, but pulling together and following public health guidelines will get us all through this. For families, parents, and workers, I know things are difficult, but we can't give up now.  Avoid gatherings. Make sure you get vaccinated against the flu, and use the COVID Alert app. As we did last spring, it's all that we'll be able to get through this winter. Our government will need it to be there for you as long as it takes. Speaking of this, I'd like to mention that the new support measures that we announced for the companies concerning the rent, the salary, the loans, and the confinement support have been adopted by the community. They are now in front of the Senate. As the Prime Minister said, we hope that this law project will be adopted quickly so that the employees can get the support they need as soon as possible.  Earlier today, Minister Baines introduced the new Consumer Privacy Protection Act to give Canadians more control and greater transparency over how companies handle their personal information. This includes allowing people to move their information from one organization to another and the right to have their information deleted. For companies that don't follow the rules, the CPPA gives the Privacy Commissioner order-making power and the highest fines amongst G7 privacy laws. Today, Minister Baines introduced the new Consumer Privacy Protection Act to give Canadians more control and greater transparency over how companies handle their personal information. This is a first on the international scene. This law project is based on the work we have already done to protect data and people's safety online, including the digital chart we launched last year. To rebuild a strong and resilient economy, protect jobs and support small companies while they adapt to this new reality, we must ensure that the Internet is accessible, reliable and secure. Thank you.


Lightboard can also be used in a flip classroom setting to annotate videos. In this video, produced by Triumph at UBC, it is demonstrating the movement of atoms around their cyclotron. As you can see, it starts on this side, and as the atom moves around, their polarities switch. You can also pause videos where you like to demonstrate more important concepts, and then replay them again when you're ready to move on.


You can go ahead and open to John chapter 15 and verse 24. Most assuredly I say to you, unless a grain of weed falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain. At first it seems like Jesus is describing his suffering, his burial, his resurrection. But then in verse 25, Jesus begins to talk about your suffering. He begins to talk about my cross. He begins to give us an example that as a master, he died for my sin. But at the same time as he is dying for my sin and he's rising again, he's giving me an example of what I will be going through and how I should go through it. That's why the Bible says, imitate Christ. That's why he says in Matthew 11, he says, come to me and I will give you rest. And then he says, learn from me because Jesus' death, Jesus' suffering and Jesus' resurrection is not just one-time event that happened to him for our redemption. It's also an example of how we should go through our suffering as well. We suffer so we can also have fellowship and see the same fruits in our life as he had in his. I want to encourage you today that God has a plan and a purpose for your life, but the process through which God will take you is going to be very painful. The promise is very beautiful. It's the process that is very painful. We want to become a forest. We just don't like the dirt, the darkness and dying in it and then coming back to life. But sometimes that is the process that it takes. If you are writing notes, I want you to write this down. Trust in God's plan when it feels like your life is a part of the devil's plot. Look at Jesus. Look at the seed being thrown from the hand of a farmer. It looks like from the perspective of a seed. It looks like I'm being betrayed. I'm being abandoned. Why am I leaving the bag with the rest of the seeds? I enjoy the comfort of the rest of the grain seeds. And now this mean farmer is throwing me out from the comfort of the community and he's not throwing me up. He's throwing me down from the vintage point of the seed. This seems like a plot conspiracy to destroy me. But from the plan of the farmer, it looks very different. Never trust your perspective when you're suffering because your perspective is always deceptive. Your perspective has always the filter of pain.  Remember, you're the seed in the hand of a farmer and your farmer is Jesus Christ. Your farmer is God the Father. You are not just aimlessly being thrown by life. There is a God and the Bible says we are in his hand. I want you to also understand you have to have a prophetic insight into your future. If you don't have a prophetic insight into your future, you will become pitiful in your suffering instead of powerful. You won't be purified through your suffering. You will be destroyed through your suffering because you lost hope. You will be so focused on what you're going through that you're going to forget where you're going to.  Jesus did not do that. If you think Jesus was walking around talking about how bad suffering will be, He did. But He always ended with, I will rise again. The last thing I want to share with you is follow the comforter when all comforts fail. We all have comforts in our life in three things. Places we are in, possessions we have and people that like us. One thing Cross does is it strips all three P's out of your life. Because when you go through the cross, the comforts are stripped away from you. And the people who don't know the Holy Spirit, their life falls apart because their whole life is around the comforts that they have. Their dream is to make sure their life is comfortable. But Jesus teaches us one lesson. If you want to get through the cross and get to the crown, you have to have a loose relationship with your comforts and attachment to the comforter. Comfort brings happiness, but comforter brings joy. Comforter doesn't keep us in comfort and comforter will never leave us on the cross. The Holy Spirit says, he says, you will never be able to be close to me if you're addicted to comfort. He says, the only people I give myself to are those who love me, the comforter, not the comforter. And he says, the reason why I am the comforter is because when I come into your life, you can be sure of one thing. In order for you to go to the next level, you're going to have to give up the comfort of this one. I cannot give you the crown until you let go of the comfort of this season.  And I will raise you up on a third day and you will experience new level of comfort. But don't get attached to that because if you stay close to me, even that comfort one day will be given up because I'll take you somewhere else. If you let the Holy Spirit lead you through the cross, He will never bury you after the cross. He will raise you up. When I follow the comforter, it's not only I go through suffering. I get to the victory. You get to victory. You get to breakthrough. He will never leave you. He will never abandon you. And he's committed to your calling, not to your comfort.


Avenue. So I live in an RG district, which is already zoned for duplexes, triplexes and townhouses. So that for me personally and my constituents in this part of the district, that would not be a change. But I can say from experience that all the single family houses that have added additional units, all the duplexes and triplexes are rented to students at very high prices. There's one small one-story house with four bedrooms. They added a unit on the back with four bedrooms. That house rents now to eight students in two different units for $8,100. So there is, I don't see any incentives in this zoning revision proposal, any incentives for renting at the low market rate. And as others have said, market rate in Amherst is driven by our student market where thousands of students need to live off campus every year. There are the townhouse development theme built on sunset and fearing. The residents as actually, Karen Winter lives down the street from this. We were all very excited by this development. We thought it would bring in families, young faculty, coaches, retired people. It was this expansive multifamily dwelling. But when we heard what the rents are going to be, the developer said there would be market rate rents. And in a letter written to the planning board, the developers representative said market rate in Amherst is two bedrooms range from $2,200 to $3,020, a three bedroom from $3,000 to $3,900. And the four bedroom units in this development were rent from 3,700 to 4,500 a month. So this by opening up the zoning and easing the permitting process so that we can have more duplexes, triplexes in townhouses at prices that only students sharing the rent can afford. I don't see how it accomplishes the goals stated by the sponsors of this proposal. And I would also like to say that for this townhouse development in an RG district, the project changed so much for the better as it went through the ZBA and special permit process. You know, the developer worked with the neighbors. I'm sorry, Jennifer, you're over about two and a half. I'm just saying it was very collaborative. And I don't know why in an RG district, we don't, wouldn't continue to deserve to have townhouses by special permit when other districts could. So I would, that is a concern. I don't see why the special permitting process is very important to all zoning districts. Thank you. All right, thank you. Any other members of the public? Okay, Chris, see your hand. Yeah, I just wanted to find out from Doug and from other planning board members when you think you would be able to have another conversation about this. I would like to have Mandy, Joe and Patty Angelis come back and present this in a more complete manner. But, you know, sometimes that might work, we have February 1st and February 15th. We now understand for Mandy that we need to start a public hearing by March 15th. So I would suggest that you have another meeting about this soon. And so February 1st or February 15th. I mean, I would suggest February 1st. That sounds good. Any board members disagree and wanna do it later? Okay. And is Mandy available on February 1st to come back and talk more with the board? Mandy. So I regularly have Wednesday night commitments. So Wednesday nights are always a problem, but what I'm gonna say is what I would just request is that if it can be a time certain, so I can manage my dual commitment and potentially be able to do both or as much of both as I can, I would appreciate that. Chris, can we do a 630 or do you wanna, we have something else already scheduled to go first? I don't think we have anything else scheduled for February 1st, do we Pam? We do not. So it could be six. So we could do 635 or? 35 on February 1st. Yeah, it might be a few minutes after that. Depending on our minutes approval or something. So Mandy, we try to bring you in first on February 1st. That would be greatly appreciated. I would thank you for that. Okay, Janet, I see your hand. So I'm interested, I don't know about in format or I feel like we need to kind of do a workshop on this and a really deep dive because I think that there's a lot of detail. And so, if this was like the zoning subcommittee, we would go section by section, talk as a group, try to figure out impacts and how it interconnects. So I would love to just really look at line by line on it. And then also, I think would also be really helpful in the different zoning districts would be to get renderings. Like what does a 10 unit townhouse look on a five acre lot or in the RLD because you've looked at this requirement, that requirement or what it would look like to have, I think in RN, where I live, you can have four units on a one acre. So what would be a four unit townhouse on one acre in the neighborhood like mine? And how that would look, because I think that was really helpful when we're talking about lifting footnote M to see how does it play out in the ground with the parking, the lot coverage, maybe the parking gets waved. What does it look like visually a three-story townhouse, four unit townhouse? I mean, we have lost the planning staff that did most of the graphics for that effort. Yeah, I just think we need to like visualizing it makes us understand it. So I know that we're in difficult shape, but I do think we need to have a really deep look at this. Well, at the moment, we don't have anything else planned for that evening. I mean, we spent three hours looking at it. Andrew. Thanks, Doug. I guess some information that I would love to have and I, as you mentioned and remind us that we're downstaffed is just, you know, as we look to relax some of the permitting requirements, historically do we know, like are there many situations where we had site plan view or special permit where a project was killed through that process or does it just lengthen it, right? And so does does relaxing these standards just speed things up or might it actually affect different outcomes? I'm not sure, you know, Chris, maybe for the next meeting, if you even have just some general anecdotal observations, I'd love to hear that because I understand that this is reducing process. Is it actually changing the outcomes or just affecting the velocity of them? All right, Andrew. I mean, it certainly is the case that site plan review, it's basically impossible for us to say no. Whereas with the special permit, it's entirely within ZBA's right to just deny it. Bruce. I guess my question or comment is similar to Andrew's. I was gonna say, is anybody feel as I do that understanding the differences, as I've said, in fine grain between the special permit process and the site plan review process is really important to this since much of the consequential changes that have been proposed I think involves switching from the zoning board to the planning board. I don't know whether there is a document that gives a side-by-side analysis of how the planning board handles something and how the zoning board something. And I also know that the staff is down. So I wonder if it's just a matter of me reading the documents or is there a way, is there something that'll help me understand this? Chris, I see your hand and I think one of the things that's kind of mixed in with Bruce's comment is about when does a special permit come to ZBA versus to the planning board? Because we've certainly been handling special permits on occasion. It seems like most of them were dimensional rather than use. So how do you decide when something goes one way or the other? There are special permits for use that the planning board handles and they're marked SPP in the use chart. The special permits that the planning board tends to see more frequently are special permits associated with dimensional requirements. So if someone wants to get a dimensional special permit for a setback or a height or something like that, that comes to the planning board when the planning board is already reviewing the project under a site plan review. And you've had this pretty much every archipelago project requires site plan review and then they ask for a special permit for some dimensional modification. So that's when the planning board sees the special permits. The essential difference is that, it's just what I think it was Bruce who said or someone said, maybe it was Doug, that you can deny a special permit. It's perfectly fine to deny it. You're supposed to give reasons for your denial, but even if you don't give any reasons, you can go ahead and deny it. The other thing is that a special permit has a 20 day appeal period tacked onto the end. So it allows people that time to consider whether they want to appeal the decision or not planning board, site plan review decisions generally are not denied unless there's a specific thing that the applicant didn't provide to the planning board making it difficult or impossible for the planning board to make a decision and site plan reviews don't have an appeal period and they're rarely appealed. I remember in 20 years, I remember one site plan review that was appealed. So that's kind of the difference. However, in Amherst, most special permits that go before the zoning board are approved and that's not true in other towns. So the fact that something requires a special permit often dissuades a developer from coming to town and proposing to do something. And I've heard this from Rob Mora and I've heard it from other people. So if someone has the ability to go to Northampton and build something without getting a special permit and they come to Amherst and they decide and they see that they need a special permit they'll go to Northampton and do it. So that's a kind of dissuading thing even though as I said, the ZBA grants, I believe it's more than 95% of the special permits that are requested. All right, thank you, Chris. Janet. I would be happy to do kind of a side by side chart comparing SP and SPR and maybe with like a little blurb at the top. And I would love to work with Nate if he has time on that. So, because I've often felt like this issue has been really important and we should look at that and be more clear about the difference in criteria. You can deny an SPR if it doesn't comply with the bylaw. I mean, it says that in Article 11, I think. So it does say that, but I'm always getting 10 and 11 confused. So I'd be happy to do that. Put it together side by side, a little summary and work either with Chris or Nate to make sure to have everything covered. You can appeal an SPR when the building, you basically are appealing the building commissioner's permit. So you'd have to sort of get the SPR and not like it. And then when they go get the permit then you can appeal that and there's a short appeal period. I just don't think that happens very much. I've never heard that. All right. Thanks, Janet. Karen. Am I correct in that if we just go to the site plan review, we really are eliminating the butters and they're being notified and being aware of what's happening. No, I think there's still notice for the butters. Is that right, Chris? There's still a special, there's still a public hearing and a butter notification and the legal ad that gets placed. So the process itself, aside from the appeal period at the end, the process itself is essentially the same. We follow the same pattern with our site plan review that the zoning board of appeals follows with its CPA. With its special permit, I'm kidding, my acronyms mixed up. Thank you. All right. All right. Well, maybe that's, I don't see any more hands. Maybe that's enough conversation for this evening. Mandy Jo and Patricia, thank you for joining us and for your efforts. Thank you for having us and we'll try to respond to some of the questions you asked today at the next presentation. All right, we'll see you February 1st. Thank you. Okay. So the time now is 9.45, continuing with new business. Chris, do we have any new topics not reasonably anticipated 48 hours in advance? We do not. Okay. Item seven form A and R subdivision applications. None. All right, ZBA applications. I'm going to say no, but Chris might say different. We have some ZBA applications that have been submitted, but they haven't been put into the system yet. So I'm going to decline to tell you about those at this time. So nothing's ready for us to think about. That's right. All right. Item nine upcoming SPP, SPR and SUV applications. Again, we have one or two things that have been introduced to us, but they're not complete yet. So again, I'm going to decline to tell you about them. Okay. All right. Item 10, Planning Board Committee and Liaison reports. Bruce or Chris, any progress on getting Bruce on PVPC? On my, I'd not seen any email. So I'm still on the out, but I did note, I think, and maybe all of us received something that was addressed to Valkyman, Paul Valkyman, that is basically informing us about the Transport Improvement Program and its five year plan. So there's apparently some initiative in that direction, although I'm not reporting it as a member of the commission. Chris, I emailed Paul once. Do I need to do it again? Obviously the first time it didn't make any difference, but I can do that again. I think that would help. I've emailed him a few times. Okay. I'm also going to call PVPC and find out more about what they expect from a town. Yeah. I mean, we're going to have to start inviting Jack to come to our meetings again. Yeah. Because we don't know what's going on. Okay. Andrew, CPAC. No updates from CPAC. We're essentially wrapped up. So I've been going to the PVPC meetings and having a great time. Great, Tom, DRB. No, nothing. Nothing more to report. All right, Janet, Solar Bylaw. Anything beyond what we heard tonight? You're muted. On Friday, we're going to be talking about, we've been working on a survey of the community for to find out, determine community values and their preferences in terms of citing large scale ground-mounted solar arrays or, and then, so we have a presentation, we're going to be working with the consultant on Friday. And then we have a draft bylaw section to look at that Chris, that Chris or Nate did. So. Okay. Hey, Chris, at some point we might need to find out whether Janet can continue on that group if she leads the planning board before that is done. I think I have two years left. Do I have one year or two? I can't keep track of it. Oh, you're making fun of the board. We are going to go late, right? Yeah. Okay. All right. And then Chris, anything on CRC? CRC is still working on rental registration and now they're going to also be looking at this zoning proposal by Mandy Jo and Pat. Okay. All right. The time now is 9.50, report of the chair. I guess the only thing I'll mention is that the last meeting my report was that I hoped we could work on where we might be able to up zone in town. And I was actually thinking about places like where we have student housing complexes now and whether they could become more dense, you know, instead of only allowing two or three stories, could they be five stories or less parking in more buildings? Thinking that that at least would not displace people who are now in single family homes. I'm not given this new proposal. I'm not sure it makes sense for us to divert our focus, but that was kind of where I was headed. So I guess I'll just ask the board. Is it something you want to think about it at the same time or should we just hold off on that thought, Janet? I love that idea partly because I've been thinking about it for years. There's a lot of, you know, apartment complexes, you know, in South Amherst and around town that I think definitely can become more dense, you know, adding a floor or just maybe less parking. And I think they could even kind of stronger communities, but I think focusing on already developed land makes a lot of sense. And I think this would be a good time to talk about that because we're facing the issue, you know, the zoning change. We have a lot of density zone in our neighborhoods, but our master plan is saying, build the density by the village centers where most of the apartment complexes are and focusing on, you know, transportation and services there. And so I think it's a great thing to talk about simultaneously. All right, well then, let's see. Let me hear from Chris, your hand is up. Do you want to say anything? Yeah, I wanted to point out that the current building commissioner has a more liberal view of already developed housing developments. So apartment complexes, when they're non-conforming as to their use, he views that as an opportunity to expand the use. And we've already seen that happen. We've seen it happen with presidential apartments. We're seeing it happen with what was South Point and we may see it happen with Colonial Village. So those are already happening and don't necessarily need a zoning change to happen. So I just wanted to report on that. Well, I guess then the question would be if the town actually enacted a zoning change, wouldn't that be a clear indication to developers that, you know, they can be reasonably confident we'd welcome that kind of project? May I respond? Sure. So those places are already, the zoning district that they're in is RN. So you would have to actually change the zoning on the map and to allow those to be something other than, you know, more developed. If you keep it RN, you can use this kind of mechanism by going through the non-conformity. If you change the zoning district and then make more use is allowed there or change how those properties could be developed, you could do that, but you couldn't do it if they remain RN. Right, okay. Bruce. I'm with Janet. I think Doug on your suggestion, I was gonna say if you would produce one pager or two or three paragraphs, that would make it easy for us to understand in more detail what you're talking about. And then we could decide how and whether to integrate it in my discussion. Okay. Andrew. Thanks Doug. I absolutely wanna continue with that. I think, you know, as I considered what we've done as a board since I've been on here, it's more about sort of putting out fires than really systematically and proactively planning for the future. So I would love to do that. I also would love to have an opportunity to do that. Janet's mentioned many times doing things in person or workshop. Like I would love to be able to stand around some maps and actually point to maps and talk about stuff together and think where this, see kind of where this makes sense. We were doing a site visit for the Belcham Road project and we talked about zoning down the street, right? The Maplewood Farms project. What could happen there? And I think that there's a certain sort of serendipity that'll happen if we can be together looking at things, making some connections. And I think this, frankly, you know, the zoom format for these past few years has made it very difficult and we're reactive more than proactive. So I think this is a wonderful opportunity to really be proactive about making a long-term change.  It's like the sense, but we are open for business. And I think that, you know, crafting that message is something that we should think of as an outcome of our work is how we can design a zoning by-law that encourages development in the right places where we can meet lots of needs in the community and continue to be vibrant. Okay, Tom? Thanks, I'll really piggyback on all that. I mean, I really get a sense that while there are aspects of Mandy Jo's sort of the work that they've undertaken, it seems like we're presented with things that are cutting scalpel holes in the zoning laws rather than trying to tackle these kind of larger scale problems. And so how does housing in one place compare with housing in another? How do we build density where it belongs? But now where it doesn't, like how do we think about the city as an ecosystem or the town as an ecosystem rather than a place where we're just gonna make these like nips and cuts? So I strongly support the idea of having a workshop or a powwow or a planning session or other people that Bruce asked you to write a paragraph, okay? Like I think we all probably have some other ideas that we could probably put it into a paragraph form and come together and talk about as well. We all drive past the same places and look at them in different ways. So I'm all for that. And like it's more work for us, but I also think it would be much more productive for us as a board to try to solve the problems rather than react to these kind of micro proposals to get to the bottom of this. So I support your proposal and some other ongoing broader conversation. All right. Karen. Yes, that makes me really, really excited this whole idea of being proactive and pointing to places where the planning board thinks we really need to encourage more density. And along with that, of course going with the presentation we had on decarbonization is also connecting it to the transportation. If we have those centers, we can certainly push for planning for a dedicated bicycle path, not those little marks off the street, which are dangerous, but really a dedicated bicycle path, as for example from the fraternity village to the university, so that students can take their little kids or feel really safe going back and forth. It has to be sort of encouraged. And she really said, this is what we need planning boards to do to head us in this direction. So I really applaud your idea, Doug, of presenting an alternative and looking at them side to side and seeing how we can be encouraging for developers rather than just censoring them from what they plan to do. All right, Bruce. Well, it certainly sounds like there's a broad consensus here for, I was thinking as all of the past three of us have said, when I was on the board last time in the 90s and the early aughts, we had an annual planning board retreat. It was on a Saturday starting, you know, it was a whole day. And it was entirely and specifically for this kind of conversation that Andrew and I also miss and that doesn't happen so well on Zoom. But we typically met in the university horse farm over on North Maple. And it's a very good location, actually, because you look out on the broad, you can see a lot of the town from there. So I echo every, I support everything that's been said and perhaps add the suggestion that we could codify it annually with a retreat for a day if we felt like it. And if you felt like it as the leader of this, because we'd have to have an agenda and some ideas and so forth for the well-led gathering like that is really terrific. And it brings us together in ways that Zoom meetings don't. So I would suggest, I would recommend we think about restoring that particular event as well. Thank you. Okay, all right. Thank you all for your comments and support, I guess. Chris, it sounds like I should talk with you about how we might do a separate meeting outside of our usual Wednesday night. You know, I assume it would be subject to open meeting and, you know, let's talk about when we could arrange that. We might need a board member to take minutes. I will warn the clerk, which is Johanna, I guess, who's not here to object. But all right, thanks for that feedback and I'll see what I can put together a few thoughts of my own. And obviously it sounds like a lot of us have ideas. All right, so that's all I had. Chris, it's now 10 o'clock. How about report from staff? I don't really have a report. There's lots going on here. It's amazing how much there is going on here. So that's my report. Well, we appreciate you guys keeping your heads above water with your reduced staff. We're still smiling most of the time, right, Pam? That's right. Well, it's probably good we gave Nate the night off. Mm-hmm. Okay, so the time I have is 10 o' one. If anybody has, unless anybody has other, something they want to say, I think we can adjourn. Thank you, everybody. Thank you all. Good night. Good night. Good night, everyone. Thank you. Thank you.


We're doing some kind of time in the field circle and it's a little crazy. This gorgeous circle. Hey they said we could pick one of these up. Enkina, he gets loud. We've been voice for the number of years we've actually been acting. And so we'll start here with the elders and make our way all the way around the circle to the here and the now. So give out your year. 52. 33. 32. 32. 31. 30. 30. 32. 23. 23. 12. 24. 18. 18. 17. 17. 17. 17. 17. 17. 16. 16. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. 10.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com. Last Break of the Night is going to be a one box break of 2023, Top's definitive collection baseball. Pick your team number two. One box two. Some delays on this. I appreciate everybody's patience. Thank you. And it's actually not a number block, but I'm glad we were able to knock this out. Thanks everybody. So Kevin, you ended up with Last Bot Mojo with the Guardians. And there are the results of the number block, 14 teams. Actually I should have, should have written down the teams. I don't know. You'll see it on the other list right here. Everything that says 14 teams right there, that's, those are all the 14 number block teams. You get it. There's this right here. I'll leave that right there. No, you don't need that. I just want me to just be like the Hulk and just tear these open with my bare hand. We already did box C, so we're going to go, now we're going to go one, two, three for box A, four, five, six for box B, using the Bellagio die. And it's one. Box A, box B we'll save for next time. If that, if that box sells out by the time I finish this box though, I'll do it. Bet. How many spots are there? 15 teams. Oh. Someone buy the rest. You laugh now. You laugh now. Someone's going to do it. Oh, gold frame. All right. Good luck gang. So first one out of the gate is a nice one, Vlad Guerrero Jr., green, seven out of 15. Game use memorabilia, these are all on card of course. Are they all on card? Even the trip, even the multi-autos are on card. It's nice. Better be a product. This price point. Nice. Good start. That's going to be for Steve Herrick and the Toronto Blue Jays. Are they not? I think last time the second to last card was a relic and then the last card was an auto. They used to be two, no, no, I don't know. We're going to just, we're just going to go from top to bottom and see what happens. Tristan Houses. Nice. One out of 50. That's going to be for Rob B. in Boston. And we've got Chipper Jones. Chipp off the old block. 27 out of 50. Jersey and Autograph. Gary with the Braves. Chipper Jones' first name is? Chip. No. What was that? I believe it's Larry. Right? Someone confirm on that. Hi guys. Once again, Gary Gordon and the Braves. Next up is Byron Buxton. Larry Lane? Yeah, there you go. Larry. Larry's correct. There it is. Chipper's a lot better. All right. Byron Buxton is? Minnesota. That's a number block team. That's not a number. No, these are all numbered, right? Am I blind? Look at this. That's not a number. I guess we keep it. Yeah. That's a non-numbered stuff that goes to Jaspies. No, we'll randomize it to one person in that random number block group. Yeah, full randomize it for all the people. All right. Gold frame is? Riley Green. 18 out of 30. I'll tell you what. Usually I do win or take all of those non-numbered ones. But obviously since they're hits, I'm going to separate them. So for example, I'm just selling no cases. I hope there's not another one, though. But that will go to the name on top. And then the second one, non-number only, pull if any will be to the second name down. But hopefully that'll be the only one. Riley Green. Detroit. Edit. Riley Green. Nice rookie gold frame. Really sharp. A few more. Ooh, nice Patrick. Jordan Walker. Nice RPA, 8 out of 15. That might be a part of the, some part of the bird. What part of the bird could that be? Maybe it's feet. Maybe those are the legs. That's pretty awesome. That's going to go to the Cardinals. Josh X-Line. Nice. Thanks for grabbing your team straight up. Appreciate that. This is mostly one of these. This was, this is 130. The thin ones even go in 75. They're kind of all over the place. Now yeah, they really do, Andy. All right, two more to go. One of these should be a relic. There's the relic only. Xander Bogar, 28 out of 40. That goes to Rob B. And the Bow Sox. And the card in the bottom, another relic maybe? Yes, there's the second relic. Sunny Gray, 5 out of 15. I think I saw, I thought I saw like a, in the first box, the first relic was on, on towards the top and the last relic was like second to bottom. It was, it packed a little weird this year. At least for those two boxes. And that is Chris. Chris Butler. Chris Butler, Chrissy B. Number 5 right there. Nice. All right, and that's that ladies and gentlemen. So the Byron Buxton everybody on the Number Block Group gets a shot at the Byron Buxton. It's not numbered. Let's flip back over to this list. Oh, let's flip back over to the Number Block List. I close out all my randomizers thinking that I wouldn't need to randomize anything, but I do. All right, let's gather everybody's names. One in 10 chance at the Byron Buxton autograph after three. Name on top after three gets it good luck. Fingers crossed one, two and three. Chris Butler had the odds and you're going to get the card. Again, the Byron Buxton non-numbered autograph. Rex is reminding me there was a Cubs dual order from last year that wasn't. I guess there are some non-numbered possibilities there, but we have that disclaimer in the description for the random number block. There you go. I feel like he had a great play-offs, too, if I'm not mistaken. There you go, gang. I'm Joe for Jaspies at casebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. You're welcome, Chris, and I'll see you next time for the next one.


Hi everyone, Basel Chapman here for the wrap up of the week and what we are looking at on this last minute or so of the trading day, the last day of the week. This is November the 19th, Friday and we are looking at the Dow closing at minus 268 and 35,602. Well off the highs of the 8th of November at 36,565. For the Dow, if there is a close any time this week above 35,950, 36,050, that's going to be a good sign to say maybe we go sideways but if there is a test of the low that was made back in October of 35,490 on October that was 27th. A close below that, that's not a good sign that's an arch formation that's that failed it in this pattern that I call the lowercase H pattern. That'll be very negative and you'll finally get that nine period crossing under the 14 period moving average. Looking at the S&P, the S&P closed and this is very interesting. S&P closed down 6.56 at 46,97.98. Just really 47,18.50 was the high of November the 5th and it went down sharpie for three days and then it spent a bunch of time trying to get back. It hasn't gotten back. This rectangle formation says there could be one more pop up. Be careful because it could pull back a little bit after that. So above 47,22 a close that's really good but if there's a pullback under 46,85, 46,75 be real careful. Looking at the QQQ being helped of course by Nvidia and Apple is spectacular. Had a close of 403.90 up 2.23 all-time high today at 405.30. Make it real simple. There's a leg D in the Chapman methodology. If there is a great a close above 412 that is just stupendous action but if there is a pullback any time this week below 395,394 I'm saying 394 it says UPS be careful. Consolidation phase unfolding. We're looking at the IWM was likely down very weak closed down over $2.00 at 232.71 all-time high 244.46 is having a very big digestive phase and the chart peaked in pulls back. Let's just do gold quickly gold pullback quite sharply. If it has to hold the 1435 1428 level of support it could try for 1860 again that'll be good. The dollar was strong dollar was good and it's crucial that continues its three-week plunge to the downside and the TLT you got to watch that next week. Have a wonderful weekend as a Chapman sitting top of the line today. Have a good weekend. We'll see you next week. Thanks a bit.


Today I would like to analyze the last terror attack, last Friday against Azerbaijan embassy in the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tehran. As you know Iranian high ranking officials, Foreign Minister Amr Abdul Lahian and Swox person of Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanani, they have expressed that it wasn't a terror attack. And behind this action there is a personal motive, but we know that and it's clear that it is incorrect, it's absolutely incorrect, it was a terror attack against Azerbaijan embassy. And as you know attacker entered the embassy building and opened fire and murdered the head of security service of Azerbaijan embassy and wounded two other persons. Today I would like to analyze Muhammad Ghalibov, Iran's parliament speaker, Muhammad Ghalibov remarks about this issue, about this terror attack. He was this person Ghalibov has participated in the parliament reunion organizations of Islamic countries, he has said that Azerbaijan must be vigilant and attentive about this action, about this incident. Because it was a personal attack and there is a personal motive on this issue, but like Ghalibov and other high ranking officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran, they don't want or they are unable to accept this terror attack, this incident as a terror attack. They cannot and they don't want, but it is a heinous attack, it is a tragedy and one person was murdered, but until this time Iranian officials, it doesn't matter president of Iran, Abraham Raisi and Iran's parliament speaker and Iran's foreign ministry, they don't want to accept this incident as a terror attack. I think that Iran, why Iran doesn't want to accept this incident as a terror attack, Iran first by and large Islamic Republic of Iran and of course Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp. They don't, they cannot accept the sovereignty, the independence of Azerbaijan Republic, after the collapsing of Soviet Union and Azerbaijan again it is independence in 1991. Other, I think that if they want to bolster the bilateral relations after this incident, I think that they first of all Iranian government and Iranian government also the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other all high ranking officials, all high ranking officials must urgently accept this incident as a terror attack against Azerbaijan embassy. Otherwise, this relations will have both outcomes, both consequences and as you know Azerbaijan diplomats, Azerbaijan embassy was evacuated from Tehran, but Azerbaijan consulate will be active in other city of Iran in Tabriz. I think that in the near future, I don't, I can't say exactly time, I haven't got in a punctual time, but the relations between Azerbaijan and Islamic Republic of Iran will be those. And if Iran wants to bolster to develop the relations, first of all, we demand impartial neutral investigation involving also Azerbaijan prosecutors and Azerbaijan attorneys together with Iranian with their Iranian counterparts. Otherwise, these, the relations, the bilateral relations between Baku and Tehran will have very bad consequences. And that's why, that's why Iran first of all, Iran first of all must admit, must accept this incident as a terror action, as a terror action. After this acceptance, I think that we are vigilant, we are attentive, I think that we have, we can come together, we are able to come together and discuss and we can settle the problems between two countries. Otherwise, it will be very, very difficult, very, very difficult to develop the bilateral mutual relations between Tehran and Baku. And I hope that Iran will understand sooner the reality, the fact and will apologize and also will accept this incident as a terror attack against Azerbaijan diplomats, Azerbaijan embassy.


Yeah, so, yeah, hello everybody, so we can get started. So this is a presentation about CDC event-driven cloud-native application with OpenShift. I'm a senior consultant at Red Hat. So CDC, CDC is a design pattern used for event-driven cloud-native app, and a lot of time we use it with OpenShift. You can continuously identify and capture incremental data changes. And you can see this happen in real-time data replication across many databases and replication through transaction logs. It trigger event-based data changes and capture and populate the event to microservices within your system. So CDC is based on upstream DBCM project. It works with Spring Boot application and integrates with OpenShift. Why do we want to use CDC, right? CDC increase in data collection, right? A lot of time, query takes time, especially when you have a large database with growing sizes and growing data in the database. CDC will basically only focus on the change, right? You look at the data, you look at the data change and act on the data specifically. So that means you don't need to query the entire database. And this is super fast and has a lot of performance improvement. You don't need to do a full DB import and export, right? That takes time. And again, you know, this is a real-time data replication and that will become possible by looking at just the data. So change data capture. When we integrate as Spring Boot application running DBCM and monitor the transaction logs. In this case, I'm going to show you an example how to monitor transaction log through the table called a student table in a Postgres database. Then we have a Spring Boot application configured with DBCM connector that will invoke a listener method when the record got updated in the student table, the invoker will notify the listener. So this method will sync the database in the student index on the elastic search. So this is a high-level architecture about what we could do with CDC. On the left side, you have Postgres database. You have different transaction coming in. You could insert a record into the student table. You could update a student record. You could delete a student record. And the Postgres database is using port 5, 4, 3, 2. And every time we have a transaction log from the student table, it got sent to the CDC relay, which is a DBCM object. And this is using port 8080. And then at the end, we used the DBCM to populate the update, insert, delete into elastic search. In elastic search, you have a student index that basically allow you to index and search for the specific changes through the transaction log. So the Postgres database, as you see in the architecture diagram, it is using port 5, 4, 3, 2. Elastic search on port 9, 2, 0, 0, HTTP and 9, 3, 0, 0, transport. In OpenShift, we use a template to create Postgres database and elastic search instances. It's super simple. It's just a 2-yaml file, and you could create it to objects. DBCM and Postgres image allow the extraction of changes committed to the transaction logs. And this is a foundation of CDC. If you look at the Postgres deploy template, this is one of the tools for creating the deployment for Postgres. And as you see, we specify the name as Postgres. We specify the container, the environment name, the database called StudentDB. So hello, Ape, I guess we are losing the connection with you and you are not. Can you hear me? Yes, a lot. Yeah, now we can hear you. Perfect, perfect. Yeah, so I'm going to go over the slide. Can you see my screen? Yes. Perfect. Yeah, so I was talking about the elastic search deployment template. This is where we specify the template, the deployment definition for elastic search. This is getting the image from Docker elastic.co for the elastic search version 6.8. We specify the port number 9200 and 9300, 9200 for HTTP, 9300 for transport. That's the template. And then we have the elastic search surface template. We specify the kind as a surface. All you need is specify the port number 9200 and 9300 and the selector to be elastic search. So now you have the four EMO file definition from the last four screen. All you need is to go to ocrpi-f, apply the change for elastic search deployment, elastic search surface, post-quest deployment, post-quest surface. Now you've got four objects created. So the next step, you could look at the post-quest student table. This is the definition of the student table. You have the ID field, which is the primary key. You have the address of the student, the email, and the name of each student. And then after the configuration, you could start cloning the project. The project is in my Git repository. It's a Java Springboard application. After you've cloned the project, you could open the pom.xml file and look at the EMO dependency. You could see that we are using DBCM as a dependency. We have the DBCM embedded and also the DBCM connector post-quest. So these are the two objects we need for this project. And then you have the CDC listener. The CDC listener, the class constructor load the configuration and set a callback method for the handle event. The handle event method is invoked when a transaction is performed. The embedded engine class is a web for the connector that manage the connector lifecycle. And this is the constructor that we talked about in the last screen. The CDC listener basically take a student connector, take a student surface, and then inside the constructor, it create using the embedded engine from DBCM. It create and configure the engine. The engine is using student connector, and then it has a notify method to notify the handle event when a transaction is happening. So this is the configuration for the embedded engine and then we set the student surface to the student surface of the class. So the start method is called when the DBCM engine is initialized and started asynchronously using the executor. And then the end method is called when the connector is being destroyed. This will stop the DBCM and merging the executor. The handle event method is invoked when a transaction is performed in the student table. The handle event method will also identify what operation took place and call the student surface to perform the create update, delete on the elastic search. So for the private executor, this is how we create executor using the DBCM object, executor.news and go thread executor. And then once you have the executor, you have two method, stop and stop method. The start method you would call the executor to execute the engine. The stop method will check if the engine is not known, we're going to stop the engine. And then the handle method we talked about in the last screen, it takes the source record. And then using the source record value, it will check based on the operation. If it's not read, if it's read, we don't care. It's not making any changes. It is not read, right? We will go through and create a message map. If this is a delete. Hello, we are not able to hear you. So I guess we have some internet. Can you hear me? Yeah, it's fine now. Yeah, so it was an internet connection issue. Can you see my screen? Yes. Perfect, yeah. So going back to the slide, the student connector listen to the change from the student table using the Postgres connector class from the DPCM object. Offset storage, keep track of how much data has been processed from the transaction log. This is helpful when you have database connectivity issue. The code can go back to the offset storage and keep track of how much data has been processed to pick up the next data that needs to be processed when the connection come back. Yeah, exactly. It could resume from the last three-day appointment and it will occur. The file offset back in store, classes used to store the offset in the local file. So since this is in a local file, if you don't have a connection issue, if you have a connection problem, it still can read the information for the file offset. The connector will record the offset in the file for the new change. DPCM engine will flush the offset based on the flush interval. Once the data has been processed, it could flush every five minutes and delete the offset. So the DPCM connector configuration class, you have a student connector method that would return the DPCM configuration and the configuration is created based on the connector name, offset storage, offset storage file name, the flush interval in this case is flush every 60 minutes. The name, the post-quest connector, the database server name, host name, pod user, password, DP name and so on. So all these different configuration parameters were part of the DPCM configuration. From the student surface, the main, there's a method called maintain read model method that handle update, insert and delete. The student repository is an interface that performs the quad operation on the database. So the maintain read model basically create a map and then create a student object or convert the student object from the student data into a student class. And then you check, if the operator is deleted, then it's going to go using the student repository which is an interface to delete the student by ID. Otherwise, if this is a save, we're going to call the student repository to save the student object. So now we have the different pieces in the Java code. The next step is to look at the deployment to OpenShift. When we deploy this class, I usually call OCE new app. You created your project for OCE new project, whatever project you want to call it. And then inside the project, you call OCE new app. You specify the URL. You specify the context directory. This is a Java app. You can use a CDC while fly 13. And then you will do and deploy the apps for you in OpenShift. Once the deployment is complete, you could do OCE get surface. Then you should be able to see the three different surfaces. Now you have a surface for CDC which is coming from the Git repository, the Java code. You have the Elasticsearch. You have the Postgres database surface. So the next step is to expose each one of them.  So that you can call the wow from external. After that, all you need is to call the OCE get wow. And it will show you the wow for the free services. So Postgres database transaction. When the query can do an insert, update and delete record from the student table. So each query will trigger a CDC event on the Elasticsearch. So these are the simple query that we could use for testing. Insert into our student table with the ID, name, address, email, specify, inside the value. Update students, set the email to a specific email address based on the ID equals one. Or you can delete the student based on the student ID. So now you have the application deploy up to OpenShift. You could do some testing. So what you could do, you. Hello, we are not able to hear you. Can you hear me? Yeah, no. It must be an internet issue. Yeah, no problem. Can you see my screen? Yes. Okay. Yes. So, so we were talking about how to test the CDC. So for the insert scenario, you go into the Postgres instant, one, the insert query into the Postgres database. And then after that, you can immediately do a curl command called the Elasticsearch endpoint and make sure that the Elasticsearch will return the object that you just created, like ID one with the name, with the address and the email address. So that's the insert scenario. The update scenario is also similarly, you can connect to the Postgres database one, the update query. And then you could do a curl command on the Elasticsearch. And this time you see that the email get updated based on the upgrade query to Jill at gmail.com. The delete scenario says similarly, you go to a Postgres database, delete the student where ID equals one. Right. And after that, you do a curl command on the Elasticsearch instance. Then you will see ID one had no name, address and email after the record got deleted. So, yeah, in conclusion, you see from the presentation CDC work really well with Cloud Native OpenShift and then enable a very easy, highly distributed event-driven, transactional log-driven, stateful microservices deployment. Right. And the event stream created based on log-level change. All the application listen to event and perform action based on the data change. You can see for, based on, you know, insert, update, delete or read, you can do different action. Provide consistency and also portability using the BCM connector. And you can use the BCM connector to monitor record-level change in the database and publish the change to streaming surface such as Kafka or AMQ. Right. So, you can extend the implementation to even more distributed system using Kafka and AMQ. Distributed Kafka connector cluster also provide high availability, scalability and fault tolerance to improve the performance of your application and system. Right. The architecture is open source project and work well with any programming languages or development framework. So, yeah, that's a high-level CDC introduction with OpenShift. So, if you guys want to play around with it, get the slide from the Git repository that I posted on the chat and then you can start deploying that into your OpenShift instance and start doing some more customization. Right. So, this is the link to the CDC project. Cool. So, that's all I want to talk about. Yeah. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. That was great presentation. I love it. So, if anybody have any questions, they can unmute themselves and ask a question over here. Okay. Any question? Any people who want to ask questions? Okay, yeah, if no more questions, you can always bring me offline. I'm more than happy to help out with any CDC projects. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you so much. Thanks again.

For the big story, GE CEO Jeff Immelt stepping down, Jim, what was your reaction? Well, look, I think that there was a lot of pressure on the board that it was time. I know that GE is saying, listen, for 2013, they had always prepared a secession. But the underperformance and the last straw really was that last meeting where he just said, listen, the $2 number, that's the high end. There was a belief, let's say among Tryon, Tryon had a big position, that this wasn't going to happen, that the big cuts were going to occur, and that the $2 number was going to be out there. But the two things that I think doomed Jeff, the first one was the negative cash flow in the first quarter, which was just kind of out of the blue. And the second one was there was great conviviality with Tryon. Now, Tryon's not big enough to be able to move the needle for GE. But there was great conviviality in a meeting that I went to with Nelson Peltz and Jeff Vimal. And I've been with them together. And there was a kind of a big letdown that it looked like the numbers were coming through, and then the numbers slipped everywhere. But you have to ask yourself, would Jeff have left before the consummation and then the, let's say, next year or two with Baker Hughes? Because that combination is so, so important. So I'd say there was a lot of pressure. And the board felt it had to act because the stock has been the worst performer in the doubt during the period that Jeff's been in there. And that does matter. And I know the company is very adamant that the dividend is safe. I think there are people like the Deutsche Bank analysts who are saying that it's not the case. I'm looking for upgrades. I'm looking for people to cut numbers, perhaps to a buck. Maybe well short of two bucks. But say that Flannery is not going to let you down here. My friends who know Flannery are adamant that he's a Jack guy. He's a Jack Welsh guy. And that means firing people. That means taking costs out. That means reshuffling the portfolio. It does not mean breaking the company up. And GE is an actualer's plus name. It's an actualer's plus name. And we talked last week about how we wanted to sell it. But we feared that there would be a move within the next few weeks. To change the CEO, we were prescient. I've done a lot of work behind the scenes. And I know that there were people who were really saying Jeff stayed too long, 16 years. I think from the press conference, it did seem like Jeff felt that it was time to move on. But I looked for the Baker-U's deal. They did not cut and run when oil went down. I think that's important. I think the Baker-U's deal that they're doing consumates at the end of the month. You're going to see some acquisitions done by that. Remember, rate count is going up. GE has both offshore and onshore. Onshore is very good right now. We own slumberjave for action alerts. And they're more offshore. And they have not done as well as Baker-U's. Remember, Baker-U's was going to merge with Halbert and F.L. Parts of Baker-U's merging with GE. It will be very interesting to see what Bornstein, who's vice chairman now, did not get the top job. I know Tryon really liked him. When I speak with Tryon, Tryon would not talk today. But when I've spoken to Tryon, if you remember, we had Ed Garden last week at our corporate governance. Ed Garden is key man in Tryon with Nelson Peltz. I know that when I asked him about GE, it was like, whoa. Kind of not happy. So a lot of my insight comes from the fact that we did have Ed at the corporate governance conference, which was really a fabulous conference. And I know that you cringed when, people cringed when I mentioned ML at the conference. Because Ed was just total no comment. And then, obviously, no comment meaning real unhappy.


We have also made some improvements to the the way the filters are stored when you work with with with filters if I open one of these filters for example the women women registered this week. I will see that that I might be looking for for some specific person or someone with a birth date that was erroneously entered I might have a recollection that I put in some people I put in some T.I. And I forgot to select which year she was born. So I can make a filter here and say that I want everyone with the birthday of this year. And I see that in the first place I open in Geli Hoon, this was not where I made the mistake. But if I now switch to young drama, my filter will still be selected it's not yet saved or updated as a working list but my filter is there and I find that. Yes, there is indeed one person in young drama that has a birth date this year and we should probably go in and and fix that updating updating to the correct correct year. The filters will, the filters elections will be kept over many operations. And we think this is going to be useful when when when you want to apply the same filter many times in different or units for example.
