just wanna point out that at the Santa Margarita Groundwater Workshop, which was excellent by the way, and thank you for that good information. It was pointed out that not all streams are interconnected with the groundwater. So I really think that we need to be considering that. And thank you, Ms. Ryan, for your good question about if sea level rise comes in, what would our intake solidities be? And to that end, I know that the city is working, doing some very good work on rainy collectors. So placement of those also needs to be juxtaposed with the sea level rise. Thank you very much.  You probably have a zoom. So I just wanna point out that I think in 2011, there was a local study done by the Flint, Flint and Flint, that also makes the case that there will be a vegetation change in this area as a result of climate change and that the redwoods would go. So that's a, that's not a new finding, that's a finding that was documented in that earlier study, which you probably can find on the city's website someplace, right? I don't have it, but. Flint and Flint, I think we'll, yeah. I asked and answered. These scientists have been working. I'd just like to make two comments. The map or the graph I showed when I made the comment about the demand being flat was in fact, the 3.2 billion gallon demand forecast from the Water Supply Advisory Committee. I have never, I don't believe said, although you might have interpolated from what I've said, that the 2.6 is where we're gonna be for forever. I, we're leaving some room in the projection so that we can count for growth and things that may in fact happen. But what we're saying is the 2.6 billion gallons of demand is what we're seeing now. It makes a shorter, a smaller gap in the very near term. And there's some things that we can do to with awkward storage and recovery, for example, that can close that gap and we should do those. So if you're gonna stay around for the next few minutes and we get to number six, you'll hear some more about what the strategy is for that. And then with respect to the comment, which I think that has been roundly misunderstood from my EIR comment on the Pure Water Soquel, what I was really suggesting was not that they could take a variable amount, but that they might wanna model the amount that we could have available in thinking about an alternative. And that has been misinterpreted a number of times by people saying that I was actually suggesting a different thing than I was suggesting. What I was suggesting is that they model it so that they know the answer to what could be available. Well, I can't remember what the part was before it or after it, but I realized recently in some other things that in fact, that wasn't the comment I was making. So this was a receive information item. There's no vote to be had, noting that it's 10 to 10 Rosemary. I mean, in some ways, item six is on the agenda. I feel like we can get through it relatively quickly or it could take all night. But we had more on a cadence here to get to council with. Right, so you have a thank you very much for the presentation. Yes, really good. Thank you, staff, for having a really good job. Really helpful. So let's just talk quickly about the meat of the nut for item six. And the way that this is laid out, as you can see from the schedule that's on page 6.4, this was intended to be your sort of first opportunity to review the, and now the assessment, the three parts that if you look on page 6.3, the assessment, then there's a review and a recommendation by this body and then to the city council in an action that the council would take. So this is your first opportunity to review the assessment that's been done on the three main kind of threshold criteria, cost, yield and timeliness. And to look at what a revised plan would include, would include, which starts at the bottom of page 6.3, talks about implementing two no regrets actions. One of them is to further pilot testing of the ASR in the Prisma basin. And the second one is moving forward with the investments in the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant that will produce an enhanced ability to treat available resources under a larger range of both wet and dry weather conditions. In addition, there's some recommendations about developing a revised work plan and you're seeing a version of that here handing out tonight that talks about retaining the current elements of the water supply augmentation strategy related to in lieu and water transfers and water changes, continue exploring ASR opportunities in the Santa Margarita basin, designing an implement approach to evaluating the sensitivity of the city's surface water sources to the impacts of climate change, which has been a lot of what you heard in the conversation between Sean and Bob tonight, sort of what that work plan looks like. And you'll see some things and Heidi can walk you through on this chart where that work is. Develop feasible water supply, supplemental supply projects using surface water and comparing that to other alternatives using the recommended water supply advisory committee comparative analysis methodology. So retaining that sort of, let's get the information on the table and looking at the key criteria, et cetera. And then plan to make a decision about so that was D and E and plan to make a decision a few years out about which alternatives should be pursued. So it's kind of some near term actions to sort of what I would consider to be no regrets, low regrets kind of activities. And then some longer term additional studies that would eventually put us in a position of being able to do a head to head comparison of additional aquifer storage and recovery in lieu ASR strategies plus a recycle water options that would be either groundwater replenishment or I guess alternatively depending on how far out this goes it could be a DPR kind of a strategy. But anyway, that's the basic gist of this. The plan would be for this to come back to you in your October 7th meeting, originally I had been planning the joint meeting with the council on the 22nd of October, but that date doesn't work because it turns out I'm gonna be out of town at a conference someplace. And so it might work for you all, but it doesn't work for me. Oh, you could have the meeting without me if you wanted to. So, and we had talked about moving it up to October 8th, which is the council's first meeting in October, but that's Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. So they're not having an evening session that night. So that puts it to the 12th of November as a joint meeting date, which means that you have the opportunity to talk about this at October 7th meeting and then whatever the November meeting is, which I forget the date. So there's really a chance for a substantial crank turn between October and November. Yeah, and I guess what I would say is that realistically the, if it's, I think it's the 5th of, Katie, can you tell? Is it the 5th of November? Is that the first Tuesday? I think it's a date like that, which means that we probably have to have the thing in SIR already for the council. So we could do some fine tunes. If somebody had something, we could send out the document in advance for the commission to look at and kind of give us feedback. But realistically, we have a deadline of getting stuff queued up for the council that probably has to happen before the water commission meeting November 5th, first Monday, right? So we have to have our item and probably the end of the week's earlier. Okay. Again, back with risk, just with respect to the work cadence, as regards the proposed adaptation, when do you anticipate we'll have information about cost, timeliness, a yield of the no-regrets, low-regrets item so we can kind of quantify our thinking around those? Well, I wouldn't like exactly, so we're on a trajectory and I think you've seen because we talked in December last year, which we could refresh on in October about the schedule for the treatment plan upgrades, right? So right now there's a series of four treatment plan projects that are happening. Right now the tube settlers are being replaced. The flocculators are coming after that. We processed, tomorrow we have an item on council agenda to amend the contract with the tube settler contractor to replace the flocculators. And then we have, that will go take us through the winter and in the spring and the summer we hope to get the concrete tanks project underway, which is about a 30-month construction followed by the timeframe after that is when that project's finished, then we can start the treatment plant, you know, rehabilitation replacement work. Yeah, I got that. I guess what I'm trying to get, I wasn't very articulate, is in order for me to have a level of comfort around any kind of recommendation about the timeliness of this stuff, kind of need to understand the yield implications of the changes you're talking about so we can sort of do the risk benefit analysis at least in the backs of our head. So that's where I was going with the question. So I guess what I would say with respect to the ASR is we plan to pilot test additional ASR in the belt system this winter in the belts treatment plant, one of those wells and possibly in belts 12 again. It kind of depends on what operational needs we might have because we have both of those offline. It's not very good. It's kind of, you know, ties your hands in a way that it's not very easy to flip it on and turn it all around. If you're trying to, if you have an emergency that you need to deal with. So that would be happening for us to decide how much, you know, what the yield would be in the second well and extrapolating. But at the moment we're not planning on building any major, one of that is practically free. It's not entirely free, but like I don't, I can't give you a number that's better than that. Partly because I would have to not even scientific while that's guessed, just to guess about how much we could actually get in that system of it. I add to that though. Because we are doing additional groundwater modeling to understand what the belts only project will yield. So to get to the question of how much of the gap is that closing? We're also looking at putting some definition around what those infrastructure improvements are. I like to say that they're not practically nothing necessarily, but it's certainly not the bite that we're gonna take when we do the added belts infrastructure. We have Pueblo working on a lot of things. One is wrapping up phase one, which is the belts 12. Working on a work plan for phase two, which like Rosemary said could include belts 12, belts eight, and then hopefully in that work plan will be belts nine as well. So kind of running through all the belts wells to see if we should pilot, can pilot. They're also working on a work plan for the Santa Margarita. So in those work plans would be scope, schedule, and budget of that piece of the project. And for things like the belts only where we know a lot more about that project, putting costs and schedule to the actual implementation of that piece. So that all being said, I think the question was when will we know? And we can start to add some of that detail on the schedule if that's useful. There is an, I would suspect following the round two pilot which is the eight and possibly 12. So at the end of 2020 because then the round two of the piloting will be complete and we'll have time to understand what the results are and put some costs to that. And similarly with some of the anticipated work at the water treatment plan, I would expect we'd have some expectations about whether it's not necessarily gonna be hydraulic capacity but I'll call it effective capacity, treated capacity, changes based on the treatment changes we're making. Yes. And relative timeliness. Yeah, and I think that I would have to go back and look but I think the current criteria treatment capacity criteria is something like 20 MGD with 18 and a half sort of operating level because you have a basin offline or what have you can't fully utilize all the infrastructure but given that our wintertime demand is running in the sort of six to seven now that's a pretty good sized chunk of capacity to be able to treat additional water in the system when it's available and move it out into the existing infrastructure largely to take it to belts and then having some potential additional capacity to go to Santa Margarita in the event that that plays out also. And we do have estimated numbers and we have sort of design criteria that we're working on to try to figure out how to address the yield issues. Yeah, so having some sort of a amorphous blob picture of that as part of what we would be able to evaluate before we went into council. Yeah, and the other thing I just wanted to mention is that, and you know I've had a little exchange about the question of what, how do we design a project in the Prisma, the Mid County Basin that functions in a way that maintains the protective elevations of the, at the coastal monitoring wells which have to be maintained in order to manage the seawater intrusion threat and creates a usable storage for us. And there are a variety of different options that you have to look at. One of them has to do with operational strategies between your two storage. Sources and which one works better. We've seen some data and I know you've all seen this from the April 1st meeting where it looked like if you did the three year field cycle and then the two year drawdown that actually got to blow some of the base level that you wanted it, that you want to not go below of. And so we're talking about, you know, again, what does this look like and how does it have to operate in order for us to really maximize this for a drought storage as well as a groundwater sustainability plan. So that's groundwater modeling work that Heidi has mentioned. One comment. Just want to make sure that when you write your staff report to particularly to the council that you really emphasize that this ASR project is already kind of encapsulated in the GSPs because it plays a regional role as well as just low. And I'm actually tomorrow at the council meeting at the beginning of the meeting I'm giving a extremely brief presentation overview of the groundwater sustainability plan from Mid County to just sort of familiarize them about the work that's been done. And I'm pretty sure, but I can't remember off the top of my head because I did this last week but I'm pretty sure that one of the projects that's been identified in there is the ASR project in the belt system. And two on 6.4. They obtained, part that I haven't seen related to it used to be some discussion of that. But it's not fine for us to talk about this as part of our supplemental supply package. I'd like to know how that works. Yeah, I don't see it. And then an item in the phase two recycled water study that was something that we had in the water section and I'm going to prepare an analysis goes on, what I'm not seeing anywhere is an analysis of how recycled water and ASR might be integrated down the basin more than should so that we bridge that gap with another supply source. I'm concerned both about and pushed out to 2025 but I'd like to have a shorter timeline of this. Not reasonable. And I'll tell you why. We don't have the money to build that project even if we decided to do it tomorrow. That's fine. Then that needs to be presented to the reasoning for this. And we talked about this at one of the meetings when we talked about budget and sort of the basic strategy of stretching things out. And I totally agree when I get where you're going and a lot of the work that we're trying to do is definitely looking at what's the right fit of a project to need and understanding the need on the climate change side, understanding the need on what we can get back. All of those questions are definitely on the table. But a project of the scale of either a groundwater replenishment project such as Soquel is doing or a Santa Margarita aqua storage and recovery project, those projects have price tags on them that we're not going to be able to afford in the timeframe that we're talking about here because. And we still don't, we could not say the same thing. That's one of the things that we need to do. Okay, I hear you. Out of Wasak, there was a Gantt chart with a decision timeline with things that were supposed to be made at specific times. And I understand that it slipped some and we've been hearing about it little by little and other parts are actually pretty much on schedule, which is good. When we talk about an adaptation in the new schedule, what I don't see is sort of some of the hard decision points. Presumably they're being shoved out, I understand. But I'd sort of like to see those on the chart. Sort of where are the new decision points? Are they being pushed out two years or? No, it's longer. And part of it is to give us more time to work the climate change side of the house, really the information sort of focusing on the vulnerability of local surface water resources to climate change impacts is a huge big question that we need to spend some time really understanding because it could drive us from one sense of direction about more awkward storage and recovery using surface water to a different outcome. And we need to be able to really understand what that information is telling us about the sensitivity of our surface water resources to climate change. So in certain ways that is being pushed out a ways to give us more time to do that. And again, from a financial perspective, we're not gonna have the money to implement until at least the middle of the 20s and maybe later. So it's really important that we do the near term sort of low regrets, no regrets kinds of activities sooner rather than later because those things can help us close the gap and make it easier for us to get through the kinds of timeframe that you know, a drought kind of situation that we may face in that timeframe. Thank you, I'm expecting that there's in that search, there's opportunities while we might not fully realize them for some number of years out that as we do infrastructure projects in the meantime, we can do level of planning that will support future needs. And I would, but if we haven't done or haven't finished the research for how we might flush those out five years and 10 years down the road, we can't take advantage of short term opportunities that might cost small amounts of money. And so I'd like to figure some way to explore that. Yes, I agree with you. And there's a lot of things going on that are really sort of out there that we can start to think about opportunities for leveraging and we definitely are doing that. I moved it for my own information and I apologize if this is old hat to you guys, but there was my drilling down on what Jim was asking, is the climate change information that we received tonight, that represent, I mean, that's an assess, right? And I'm referring to the change management process on 6.2 and we're in review now, is it? Am I shoving a round peg at a square hole here? Well, in a general way you are, but it's because this is sort of a more the whole work program as opposed to just a piece of it. So, but definitely the more recent kind of information that we've seen about climate change is making us say, okay, we should know more about that. And we- Really different than when the WASAC was meeting actively. Well, we hadn't sexually consistent, it's indirectionally the same, it's a lot more precise and rich and we're seeing, in essence, a wider range of uncertainty. Gives you pause about whether a given solution is gonna work. But we only have to cover the worst of the bad, we don't really benefit from being covered when it's good, when it's wetter. And the other thing that was- Right. Well, and the degree to which the investments needed to be made in other parts of the system in order to have- The system at all. Well, general resiliency against a whole range of different kinds of experiences. I think Chan's comment, which I've been saying over and over again recently is, I don't know what normal is, but we don't have it here anymore. And I think that's a one year and sort of six has been a normal water year. We don't, we're having this very much, this whiplash weather, wet, dry, wet. And when we have a year like 2017, it shows where the sort of soft white underbelly of the, you know, systems vulnerabilities are. It's not a very good place to be. And the flip side of it, you guys raised questions about wildfire and we have, you know, the drought supply issues. I mean, it's a picture is kind of daunting on either end of it. And there's things that we can do with the existing resources and existing infrastructure that will make it better for us to have a more reliable system under a whole range of situations. And we're going to have to accept the fact that we can't do everything we might want to do at the time we might want to do it too much. And we have to make some hard choices here. I do want to say that, I mean, this is the right work at the right time. I think it's done the right way. I appreciate everything that staff and the team has done. And I want to, I'd like to add the observation that this whole notion, we're talking about budget, but there's really a question here of affordability or our fellow citizens in town. And there's some generational equities that come into play. And then I would be hard pressed to advocate that we should build everything now to solve a problem that's 70 years out that some of this stuff needs to be staged and appropriately we have an opportunity to take advantage of some investments we're making anyway that are going to get us at least part of the way there or probably reduce the range of uncertainty as Bob was talking about for maybe 10 years, maybe a generation which buys us some time to get some of these other bills paid, understand this climate situation better, understand the problem space better, understand our community's appetite better and then be able to make the right decisions at the right time. I absolutely support the idea of doing as much planning as we can along the way so that there's not a 10 year delay if we have to figure. And I think we've heard that loud and clear from a number of commissioners, just the work plan a little bit. I applaud the work that staff's done to try to take maximum advantage of the investments we're making. And I add one more thing to that comment is, there's two places on here where it shows or talks about the schedule potentially going out to 2035. You raise a good point. It could be longer than that. It could be shorter than that. And so what's not included in here is really incorporating the results of this work and what are our triggers and how will that shift our work? This probably isn't gonna be the last time we make any kind of plan. But I think our work in the next two years is to understand the cost benefit of each of the projects, the implementation schedule and how best to line those up so that if it's a reduction by two years or an extension by 10 years, we can adapt to that. Or boy, yeah. I would appreciate it if any of that. I'll link from Gary's list. I think that one of the issues, and we've talked about this a little bit before, is our current assessment is that the space available in our part of the basin in the Peristima, the Mid County, is about a billion gallons. So we are probably, and this is again from the beginning when we started talking about two basins. If you'll recall, there was a report from May 2015 that Robert Marx did that talked about the available storage capacity in the two basins. And it was kind of the two together about a billion and a half each. So I think that we certainly can have Gary do some modeling and I think that in my mind, I've been thinking about is the choice really in either or and either this or that, or is it some kind of a hybrid situation that works in a more adaptive way across a whole series of, right. And so partly the conversation about the climate change is really to help inform the question of what's the need gonna look like and what's the best strategy to meet that need. And it might be a phased implementation of first do this and then do that and then do it in such a way that you have a system that can send water to wherever you're sending it that take whatever water is available. And that means to some degree you can't use existing infrastructure to do that. You have to create new backbone infrastructure that takes that, but it doesn't mean that there's not a way to then maximize what you're getting back when the time comes to bring it back from wherever it's stored and put it into the system. So those are big questions, but the climate change potential for us to see something that's dramatically different from what we've been seeing so far I think is gonna be well informed by some of the work that Sean was describing and doing the scenario number four and scenario number five. And those are important inputs to us having making a good decision. When would we see the four and the five scenarios that were discussed? Sounds like you're working on them. Oh, I'll speak to four and then Sean. Oh, okay, okay. For we have the runs now that is produced in here, here he has run. Basically, I'll update that, write that out. We would see that in sometime this fall. I would think so, yeah? Finish up five this fall. Okay, so pretty soon. Bob said something earlier about the Confluence Modeling was based on 2015 data. And I don't know if that's only for some subset, but can that be updated with a couple of years newer data with what we're looking at? So Confluence is actually a, it's a, the data set that goes into it is probably a minimum of like 50 years. And it, but it hasn't had the data scrubbed and added for years after 2015 at this point. So the data set is, you know, I think the circle data set is 80 some years. So it's not just, it's just that in order to bring the new data from the 16, 17, 18 kind of years into it, that has to go through a very stringent QAQC program in order to make sure that we're all good with that data. And I think that since I've been here, we've only updated the data set once from adding that 2009, actually 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 into it. And so it's not a, it's not a. It's not an easy task. Not an incidental task. So. The only reason I asked was that we're hearing about much greater increase in variability year to year, just in the last five years or so. So it might add value if we could reflect that in some of the modeling. So it seems to me the direction that I've gotten so far is that you wanna see some more details on this chart when it comes back. You wanna see some more details about the questions of sort of cost benefit of some of the early action items. I don't think anyone would ever say, and I'd just be prepared that the water treatment plan changes we're making would be done if it were only for this purpose because that's going to be a marginal benefit, but it will still be a benefit. It's going to be a very expensive project, but has to be done due to the condition of the facility. And so while we're doing it, we should take this step to make it work better for the direction we're going. On the ASR and the belt system, I think we can come up with some kind of, you know, sense of where that's going in terms of its cost. And what we think its benefit would be. And then I think that building in some, some more obvious decision points on that the table would work to, we can definitely do that. And one thing you'll see on this chart this time that you hadn't seen before is some of the other major things that are going on that are, you know, contextualizing some of these things, some of the work that we're doing in the Santa Margarita, for example, we really want to emerge from that process up there, as opposed to have us sort of be working in a vacuum and then making it appear as though those people in Santa Cruz that we already were suspicious of are out there doing it again to us. Yeah, taking our water. Right, that's right. So it sounds like that stuff we can move forward with in terms of the October meeting, and then we'll see where we are from there. Okay. Hey, public comment on item six, the proposed adaptation to the WASAC plan. Yeah, well, this is wonderful. Talking about the real stuff. The water that we have right now for water transfers has no capital costs associated with it. It's already paid for. You can get as much water every month as the lesser of North Coast supply, Soquel Creek demand and infrastructure capacity, which is about 50 million gallons a month. There's nothing in this under water transfers to take that water and use it. Rosemary talks about wanting to do a couple of no regrets things. One of the things that would be no regrets would be taking the water that we have that is going out into the ocean, and send it via the NLU method to the Soquel Creek water district, and let them disperse it. Then we can get to the question that David has been asking for seven years. How are we gonna get the water back? Now, we can't answer the question now, but there's no reason to not put the water into the Mid County Groundwater Bank so that we have it when we figure out how to get it back. This is no threats. I think that's the water transfers section. The water transfer section, where is transfer water to Soquel Creek now? We are at 97.3% in Loch Lomond. There is no risk by sending a million and a half gallons a day to Soquel Creek of any measurable amount. Scott, you're aware that you're at a meeting of the Santa Cruz Water Department Water Commission. Yes. But you have a lot of management suggestions for a different water district. I don't know how to help them from where I sit right now and delivering water uncontrolled into the city streets down there doesn't seem like a good idea. Oh, it's not gonna be dumped into the city streets, Doug.  So why do you talk to us about a decision they need to make? Because you need to acknowledge, this board needs to acknowledge, that it could be done. I don't think this, I... Well, you're not eating it. I'm watching the green light, man. I'm gonna get through my points here. That's what I do. The question of water transfers and a volume of water to be transferred now qualifies as a no-regrets action. It is on the list. It's not, there's no, where is it? How much water will we send to Soquel Creek? We don't have agreements with neighboring agencies without reading to you the list. Would you write a letter and say that the Santa Cruz Water Commission will sell Soquel Creek Water District of 300 million gallons of water in the next six months? The job of the Santa Cruz Water Commission is to advise city council on matters relating to operation of the water department. Not today. And not today and not in any volume. No. In the end of April, right? We do not have water from the North Coast at this time. That would allow us to send water to Soquel. Yes, you do. No, we do not. We do not. Well, I've looked at the production records and there it is. We have more water than we had last year and last year we had water. And, yeah, well... That's time. Yeah, all right. Part of my time was taken up by other people. But I guess that's... I guess that'll do. Thank you. That'll do for openers. But we need to grapple with this. This is our job. Scott. Yes, Doug? Out of respect to the other people here and the folks at the commission and the fact that it's 1030, we have other speakers lined up. We're gonna hold the three minutes, okay? Well, I'll rest. Thank you. I am still Jerry Paul. The water comes from the North Coast by pre-1914 rights. And the rights to ship the water to Soquel come from those rights. But the actual molecules come from the San Lorenzo River in the deal that we're actually running right now. And that's what we proposed. We just maximize the quantity that we can ship through the intertide, which is really the limiting factor on some of the days. And the amount we take out of the North Coast pipes or diversions are the limiting factor on other days. But the point is what Scott said was right. We can ship a lot of water. Though the coastal aquifers are the most vulnerable place now when they have the least water in them. When we start putting water in, they'll get less and less vulnerable. I would think that if you were going to protect the aquifers, the time you'd want to protect them with all your might is this week because they're the most vulnerable. Let's ship some water there. We know we're gonna have to do it anyway. And it's the least risk. It's very low cost. So Cal reverse us as long as we don't give them an inflated price. Remember that any infrastructure that we might have to build wouldn't be just charged to their 36,000 men, women and children. It would be infrastructure that would ultimately benefit all 135,000 people in the area because why do we ship to them? A lot of it, we'd eventually get back when we're in a pinch in a drought. We've already discussed this very much including the joint members, the board of the Soquel board of directors coming and sitting in these seats with the city council and to get this kind of stuff going in years past. So it can be done. And I urge you to go take the opportunity and do it, use the infrastructure. We don't have to draw any more water out of the North Coast than we already do. We just have to say those are the rights we're using and we're using molecules from the river. Especially if we put extra molecules in the lock the previous winter when we also have the rights to put them in there and the fish don't need them. Furthermore, if we fill the lock in the winter the fish can get extra benefits from the lock at the time of year when it's optimal. I'm sure you would approve by a special releases from the lock not just down San Lorenzo River but by an extra pipe that could go to the Santa Margarita aquifer filter through that and come through the streams at all altitude levels not just sea level like diesel would provide or wastewater recycling would provide. We could really serve the fish all the way up and down. You're welcome. So please fill in this detail on water transfers. To the resale building. Thanks Jerry. The retail building. Thank you, Becky Steinbrenner. I really wanna thank you for your work and staying so late and also the good work of Mr. McGilverain, Mr. Paul. And I think that Mr. Schwarm your question is a good one. Why are we coming here and talking with you about what SoCal Creek needs to do? It's because the two of you do need to work together better and what you do with your ASR affects the water transfers for the district. Last winter the water transfers had to be shut down in order for the city to do the ASR pilot work at the belts 12 well that affects this project. So I would like to see better cooperation between the city and SoCal Creek. And I would really like to see the ASR work done perhaps at belts nine and 10. I don't know if it would still have the same value for the city, but it might not shut down the water transfer work that we really need to expand upon. Acidro came here and told you that whenever the water transfer happened it was actually benefiting the city because the water didn't age within your system and tanks. It kept things going fresher and thereby made your water quality improved. So it benefits you to do the water transfers. I also wanna ask the SoCal Creek had to for some reason decided to start up their O'Neill well which has been shut down for a long time with the ammonia problems. And I wanna know that you're working with them on that issue and how that issue can be affected by the ASR work that you're doing at belts 12. So there is a communication that needs to happen. Let me finish. I also wanna point out in terms of recovery what SoCal Creek Water District General Manager is telling the residents of Live Oak who are complaining bitterly that they were never told about the advanced water treatment facility that is supposed to be plopped in their neighborhood. He's telling them, well, this is gonna help you because it's going to raise the groundwater levels in your area. That's your service district. He's making that claim. So you can make the claim too. The work that you do is gonna store water that will help not only the city but also SoCal Creek Water District. And by doing conjunctive use, it can do it without by using existing infrastructure, keeping costs down and without exorbitant energy demands that recycled water would take. And I also wanna point out that I've been researching and reviewing a lot of materials. SoCal Creek has the ability to independently apply for emergency water permits for the San Lorenzo River that then they could give to you and you could give to them after it's traded. Thank you. You have not pursued that action. Other members of the public have anything to say? Okay, so again, this is an informational item. Staff, you mentioned the feedback. I think you will summarize the feedback you got from commission. I appreciate you taking that on board. Yep. And we'll move on. Seven, we'll get through these quickly. I spoke to Doug. I think I sent him an email where it was bicycling in Spain saying I wanted to retain this group that we had the ad hoc committee to allow us to work with the commission as we work on the phase two of the SoCal Creek agreement. Yeah, to work on the operating agreement, right? Yes. And so I just wanted to sort of recommend that we do that because I think that if we're gonna bring it back, which currently is the sort of proposal, but I don't really know if this is gonna happen because I think they're trying to figure out what they really need at this moment. But if we're gonna bring it back to the next meeting at the October 7th meeting, it would be really useful for us to have a chance to run some things by some folks in a more informal way before that happens. So, yes, I am. I'm seven, yeah. I mean, the idea is try to get that thing in shape, a little better shape before it comes to the commission. Yep, yep. But this would be for the October? Well, this is additional elements like operating agreement and the land lease. The pieces that didn't get put in the last round are would be at least some parts of them. And one of the things I think we've been discussing is that there's a lot of things in the operations agreement that could potentially shift it around. So, no, because we started this on the, I think we met the first time on like the 4th or 5th of June. We got six months. Yeah, we got six months. It's a, from my perspective, it's a direct continuation of the work that we were doing before. That's right. Nice work. Yeah, and can we commend you on behalf of the rest of the commission because the final product you did was really excellent and I think we all, those of us who weren't on this ad hoc committee really appreciate the time you put in. Staff did Yeoman's work on that as well. It was a good collaboration, but thank you. Okay. Mid County Groundwater Agency. Doing a thing at the council tomorrow, very brief at the presentation block. We've got the Q and A schedule for Wednesday night at Simkins, which is for the, if you've got a question about the plan, that's an opportunity for more informal interaction as opposed to presentation and sort of writing your stuff on comment cards. The city is going to meet with Darcy on the 4th of September and do the required consultation between the land use agencies and the plan staff. I think that, I know that she's got that scheduled with the Capitola people. Yeah, and at the county we met with her last week. Right. And so, and then the next one is the September 19th meeting of the board in which they're gonna do the public hearing and close the public comment period and give the direction to staff about finalizing the document, which we'll have a couple of months to do before it comes back in November to have the board take action. Santa Marta, I was just gonna pivot to Santa Marta Rita unless people have questions about Mid County. We've actually moved on to at least the appetizers, if not the fireworks. Yeah, right. So we're starting to educate folks about the real work. We've done a couple of workshops. July was focused on undesirable outcomes. I missed that one. I had to hear that. I'll need a debrief. And in August, we just recently got together on surface groundwater interaction. Becky had alluded to that one. That one I did attend. I can say there was good attendance and engagement by the community and was super technical subject as you can imagine, great range of content from staff and consultants and Rosemary among them. And I don't know what the topic of the next one is. I think we're gonna start getting some the conceptual hydrogeo logic models. I think you're starting to see the. Oh boy. Yeah. The one other thing that happened is Friday, there was a kind of inaugural run of a tour that took place in different aspects of the system. The handful of sort of selected people there to get some feedback. And the idea is to sort of get this thing in the can with a kind of general, okay, this is how it works out. And then run it on some kind of intermittent basis in the future. But there was a 15 passenger van and they went to a number of places, including the intertie between Scotts Valley and the San Lorenzo Valley Water District area and Bean Creek where they have issues of the river going dry in terms of surface water, groundwater interaction. Some place on the edge of the basin. I don't really know what they were trying to do there, but I wasn't on the tours. Well, I can tell. They went to the quarry. The Olympia quarry. The Olympia quarry where you can sort of see different of the strata. And then the last stop was the Felton the version. So we had a, Chris and I were up at the Felton the version at the last stop. And they seem to be having a good interaction. There was a pretty diverse group of folks, including some members of the public, a couple of board members, some staff, and so it was good. It was good. I guess that's it for that one. You can't want to give an oral report. I don't have anything to say. Any informational items from anybody. We are adjourned. Thank you everybody. Thank you.


In the prior presentation, we discussed three general approaches that we will be using to get a handle on a grasp of the income tax code, income tax preparation process, including by formula, which is what we generally want to be visualizing in our head, a more elegant simplified formula rather than the entire tax form, which is gonna be more difficult to visualize, but which we want to have good familiarity with and we can find the tax forms at the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. We'll discuss that more later. If you also have access to the software, the software will also provide you access to the forms as well, the software adding another level in that they make the data input easier so that we can run scenarios by doing data input in the software, letting them populate the forms and then compare the forms to the formulas that we can visualize in our mind and which we can replicate in Excel and we'll be doing in future presentations.


What's up guys? Oh, I wish I knew your Discord username, but hi. Hey, let me know in the chat if you can hear me okay. Yay. All right, sweet. And let me know if you can see my screen also. What's up Kofi? Okay guys, go ahead and drop a ticker request and chart requests in the chat so you can do your ticker request. You can tell me a certain chart or timeframe that you like, small timeframe, high-tie frame. You can tell me about your play. You can say your expiry, your strike, whatever. Jimbo Jetson, what's good? K-PASA Familia, what's Gucci baby? About to put on some Christmas music in the background. Mohammed, what's up? What's up? Okay, we'll do a net monthly timeframe. Love to see it. Gonna get started on your request while we get some other ones in the chat. I'll also pull up on my third monitor Maya DMs. So if you don't have a Twitch account or you're watching or you just want some background, I definitely wanna put some music on for you. I'm gonna be honest. I don't know how. Let me go back, nah. Put some bangers on in the background on my own stuff. Remember that this time is for you. I love you too. Pick the music for me, bro. Wish we play. We're gonna put something slowed and reverbed in the background, we're gonna vibe out. Okay, let's go ahead, jump right in. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Amy. On X trades, the trader formerly known as a Mizzle. We had a couple of chart requests in the DMs as well. Let me add that real quick. Tesla Daily, A-N-E-T. Let's take a look on the monthly timeframe. All right, I admittedly don't know too much about this one, so let me go to FinViz. Check it out real quick. Artista Networks, yeah, baby. Okay, got a little channel action going on. Looks like some big bearish price action. Coming down to meet some moving averages. I like the institutional ownership, like the volume. Good performance here to date. We also always wanna look for IPO'd in the last five years or so. Let's see when this guy came out. Decent, decent. The reason I look for smaller timeframe IPOs is because there's less resistance for price to move through, which allows it to go parabolic. Hold on a second, got a reply to a DM. Ken, what's Gucci? Airbnb, keep the request coming. I gotta be honest, guys, I'm solely to vote this time to whatever you're interested in. So this is unbiased feedback. Live analysis, the troll price action stock. I love that so much, okay. Artista, back to Artista Baby. I like this guy, could go to 200. But let's look basic timeframe price action. If you wanna tell me more about your play on Annette, put it in the chat for me. But otherwise, where I see a little bit of supports here, I think it'll probably come down, price will come down to about 115-ish, a little bit above 115-ish, before doing a little staircase down to find some supports. I like, I really like this stock. It fits all my criteria. Let's see what it's about. Technology, computer, hardware, okay. Overweight to equal weight, fair. Buy to a neutral. I love when you can see price upgrades. A missile bro. I like when you can see price upgrades in the list from more than one bank. If it's usually one, sometimes they're holding it and they're manipulating it, but I see more on here. So I'm gonna be honest with you, if you're holding this long-term, I really like it. It's just nice and clean. There's not a lot of, there's nothing, it's nothing but free air up here. I think that there's a possibility that it can come back down to around lowest, maybe a $75 range. Usually likes, price usually likes some benchmarks, so I'll put this down here. But looks pretty nice. I'm actually gonna make a note of this for doing more for my long-term port as well. Thank you too for bringing that one up. I'll drop the link in chat later. JK, we'll get to it later. Let's go to Tesla. This was a request in the DMs. What was the timeframe? Daily. Cool. Let's look at it on the monthly first. I'll clear this out though. High timeframe, we're looking good. Tesla has the same thing as Annette, the last stock we were looking at. When things are recent too of IPO, and this isn't as recent, that's 10 years. But when there's not a lot of chart history, there's free air for things to run up to. The sad thing about that is, is that if a company were to just absolutely collapse or something, that it's gonna have a long way down to come down and find a floor, find a support. When we're looking at Tesla, you can already see that there's been a significant retracement here. I've pointed this out on, I've got another chart up here. Let me close out of my legal legends. Hold on. Actually, hey, peep it. Okay, and Tesla, you've got this open space over here on the left-hand side on the daily. Switch that. That price wanted to come back and retrace because what had happened, see what had happened was, there was a rising wedge for like six months where price was just building up, building up, building up steadily. And then finally broke through. And what hasn't happened yet is that it hasn't come back down to test or retest that breakout ever. In fact, what it's likely going to want to test is the former resistance area around here. Now with Tesla, what you've gotta look at is whole numbers on this one. Will it break 900? Or will it come back down to this level right here and sort of hold as that round number psychological support? If it breaks 900, it can come all the way back down to where it broke out from. Or it can really just kind of find a home around 880. What you need to look at in this area is that this whole zone of price structure was the only time price really broke into this. This was previously a supply zone. And when price broke up, it just broke through it and it hasn't come back down to turn this into a demand zone showing where people buy and then turning this new high into supply. So for Tesla, for my friend who was in my DMs. Hi, 007. Sorry guys, I got ADHD. I didn't know there was an X-Trades gear store. Jimbo, Jetson, it's in the works, bro. I hope you appreciated it, your little sneak peek. I can't give another one, but keep it on the low low. But also when I post it, you better spend some dough though, you know. Okay, positive, you're gonna be RF. Any time frame on that RF when we get to it?  I've been fangirling over this, designing this for a couple of weeks now and it's just, whew, the drip, I cannot wait. I like wanna cry of happiness. It's so dope. So for my Tesla player, thank you. I just get so excited. It's obvious when I'm passionate about things.  So with Tesla, it really could come down into this whole demand zone area over here if it loses 900. So that's what I would say to look for on this. So step one, will 900 hold? Step two, if not, will 880-ish break or will this line and area turn into a support? Cause if it does, then it's gonna come back to retrace this breakout fully. It really, if price wanted to, just GG out or something insane happened. This level down here could be tested, 775. I don't think that it will. I think that it will get bought up around this area. You wanna look at, okay, the RF on the weekly, do you mean weekly XBREs or do you want me to do the weekly chart? I'll look at that for you. So Tesla daily, Tesla is still in a short zone for me. The levels I identified, you can look at my previous charts in chat, but there are some other scenarios I see playing out here. Price could hold here from this little ugly falling wedge it has, hold and then break through. But this is also looking like it could be a channel, a little descending action, which just means more dumpage. With Tesla, the levels to watch for on a smaller timeframe. I know you asked for daily, but for anybody who's in a play right now, what you need to watch for is this demand zone was lost. So regardless of any of these chart patterns, all you need to think about are support and resistance. So what I want to do actually is I'm gonna come back and erase these main lines. And I want you to just look at price. If price lost this green area, if price loses the support, it likely turns that area into a resistance or that price into a resistance. What you saw happen once here, when it broke through, it couldn't claim that momentum back again with the volume. You saw it sell off real quick down here. Then it just kind of giggied out. So we'll see where Tesla finds the bottom there, but my opinion on the daily is more downside to come. And it's just a matter of opportunity where you want to buy it up, but I would wait for this zone ideally. Ideally. Let's go down to what's next? Okay, Airbnb Ken, Airbnb. Love it. Yes, the biggest troll of all time. We looked at Airbnb last week. Let's touch base on, actually I think this guy might have been two weeks ago. Let's see where it's at now. Demand, supply. Demand, supply. And where did I say it was gonna go again? Mid range. And then where did price wind up going? It didn't hold that mid range area. It wasn't able to hold this support. So where do we think it's going now? Demand. If you wanted to short this, I would put this region on your radar. So you got about 149, 153, 150-ish. But really, I would probably put, if you wanted to get along here on Airbnb, I would start to scale in at about 138, 134, 129. If it goes that low. The reason what you wanna scale in is because you don't know how low it can go. How low can you go? Don't low. Okay, please do analysis for Apple. Yes, B, I got you. My cat. Gucci. Airbnb. Ken, you didn't tell me the timeframe. Let me see. DM me. Bro-ski, bro-sif, bro-cheto-chip, bro-chacho. Let's look smaller timeframe. Let's look smaller timeframe. So let's say that this trampoline zone that I identified holds, and that since price already came to this demand zone once, twice, and three times, price is actually going to start to trend upwards now, where it's finding higher supports, which is just basic price action of making it higher or low, right? Where do we think it can go? You see where it started to bounce off that area, that zone. So if it bounces from here, key levels to break. Let me look at here. Remember what we've talked about in our previous lessons? The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. That comes to price and people, folks. 157. I like this line because of this price action over here. You see where this big bullish candle came in? This means that there was a lot of interest in buying here. Look at all the selling just flooded around it, though. But this was an area people had identified previously. 160, 161 range. And you see where that came from, down here and down here. So these are some of your key levels for that small timeframe, Airbnb. Ken, I know you were typing, bro. I don't know if you cashed out on me or not, but here's what I'd say. If you're gonna go long, 157, call it 158, 161, 164. Key levels to break through to confirm you're long. Down here, you had a lot of buying, so that looks good. Hope that it plays out for you that that's the lower support. In order to confirm that, you should always have a stop loss. Don't just be like, I'm long, because Amy said it could be long. You could consider cutting if you wanna be really, really tight with it. 152, 149, 84 would be my cut. And the reason why is because this gray area is acting as a support zone. There's a buying and selling battle here. And I don't think that if this level doesn't hold, that this one will hold. I think it will come back down to demand. Let me add to my list. We got the, okay, so my cat, Apple is on the daily, I got you, fam. The video, tech is wrecked. Tech has been, I don't wanna say it's been riggedy, riggedy, wrecked, son, but it's always a little bit inflated. Everybody loves to trade tech. I'll show you a little bit of reasons why in a minute here. So let's go to, that's Airbnb, Ken, hope you're Gucci on that. We're gonna go into RF on the weekly. Regions Financial Corporation. When you're looking at weekly price action, sometimes you can look at a little too much. I'm gonna show you how I'll make this more simple in the future. But when you look at this and you wanna identify some main price zones or price regions, what can actually happen with figure candles holding too much of a timeframe to them? Because remember, it's called the weekly chart because each candle represents the open and close of the week. As you can actually wind up having too much price history in your chart. So what I'd advise you to do is shorten it, look at like the last year maybe, two years, just to find some of those major support areas. When it comes to the weekly chart, you see how this old area of resistance broke through. It failed to claim a support here, but now it's coming through to test again. And the fact that it held in this region is pretty nice as well. It's looking pretty decent. Let's look here. It's had some sell-offs here. You know why? Because anytime something goes to an all time. Ooh, hola, hola, hola, okay, hola. You see a bad chart coming to you. What's a hola? Big double top, big double top on this guy. Up here, okay. So I know I was just talking about not looking too high timeframe, but if we're looking too short timeframe, that looks like a high. But we have some old price action to go off of here. And that's gonna be this guy right here. This area right here is very significant. This is acting as a resistance now for price. So now let's see what area is gonna act as a demand. Is it going to be this right here? I think so. Yup, yup, yup. If it breaks, it'll come down to these blue levels. I would put, if you're long on this, I would have a stop. I'd put a stop here. J.K. Because what I see, nope, go with my original. Let me tell you why. Because of this area of price right here, if this folds, it ain't gonna hold, baby. So let's go back to your weekly timeframe now. Now we have some of those better views from price. Regions Financial Corporation on the weekly. This is looking, for some people, I preach this every single live analysis session. Chart patterns, people are gonna say, is that a cup and handle?  But what happens is a cup and handle might not be a cup and handle. Cup and handle might be a double top. So what you need to look at is how price plays out when it reaches that mid-range, near support. A spinning top doji means indecision. So when you have indecision, look at the candles before it to look at the weight. What's price doing? Bearish, bearish, bearish, bearish, bearish, stopped. Okay, so there's more weight to the bearish side on this. The other way to check that is volume. Is there more buying or selling happening? There's more selling happening. So what do you have to see for this little magic line here to hold for this to be a cup and handle? I'm sorry, I can't. Okay, it's gotta get bought up. It's gotta get bought up. And I'll tell you where people will buy it if they wanted to was this guy right here. This guy right here, this guy right here, it ain't nothing, 2148. People would have bought it at 2169. It's hanging out around 2187. So there's a chance. You've just gotta watch it. So how do you watch this if you aren't sure if it's gonna play out as a cup and handle and continue up? Or if it's gonna come to the downside, tight stops. Just keep those stops tight. Put it where your trade is invalidated. If that's not gonna hold the support, then keep it close, 2116. If it breaks that mid-range, it's not gonna cup and handle. It's gonna double top. I already think it's gonna come down anyway because it wants to revisit this demand zone before getting some juice before breaking through that supply zone again. So that's my opinions on RF. Hope that helped. Let's go for spy for my baby Goldo. OJ Boomin, you're not tripping. Okay, let me go back through some of these comments real quick. Goldo, plenty of ADGI charts posted. You know what? There were a lot of charts posted in main stock chat today by a lot of really people I respect too. So I'm sure whatever chart I post will be similar. How does the line appear when you click on the graph? By pressing the button. No, I'm just playing family, I'm not trying to show you. How does the line appear when you click on the graph? I don't know if you're talking about the horizontal line, which is where I'll click this tool over here and then I'll just click it. Or what you meant by that, but I would love to help you with that. DRI first swing, I'll add it in here. Okay, I know that's, I want Amy's view. Thank you, I feel flattered. Are you talking about the trend line as tool on TV? Oh, trend lines guys. This line right here to the left-hand side. You can change trend line to horizontal line. Lots of good tools here in Trading View. It's free if you don't have an account. I'll just mention in case you missed it. Yeah, but normally you got to drag out the line. Cool. I'm gonna drag out the line. New to trading. Looking for an amazing trading community. Moobot, nevermind tripping. Opinion on Jim Kramer. Deluxe, my opinion on Jim Kramer is he is an awesome indicator. He is a human indicator. I don't wanna say counter trade him. He has a lot of really good, like really good fundamental perspectives. Like he was talking about plug power, hydrogen fuel cells with Lindy. Lindy was a really good ticker. I really, I will put Kramer on for a minute. No, I don't want to. I would rather spend your time rather than my thoughts and opinions. But I like Jim Kramer as a character, as an indicator but most of the time, remember too that he's a puppet. He will even actually, Jim Kramer explains market making. There are a lot of videos of him explaining how when he worked on Wall Street, they would manipulate the news and fundamentals to serve their own needs. So that's an interesting perspective to take on it. Comprehensive, quick overview of my thoughts on Jim Kramer. John G, Amy for president. Amy for first lady, bro. I'm gonna be honest. I do not want to be president. I wanna do things like decorate for Christmas and pick out the China and work in philanthropy. But hopefully my future husband, if he can be prezzy, that'd be dope. That makes sense, yep. Do you have an Instagram baby girl? Feel very flattered, but no, I do not. Are you listening to Travis Scott cancelling you? I have Kendrick Lamar playing right now, but it's actually been brought to my attention that it's better to not play copyrighted music. Does Kitsbop count as copyright music? Cause I'm about to torture you guys and put on Kitsbop Christmas. I feel like Kitsbop is a spy for tomorrow and the next few weeks, I day trade. Nothing long-term. Okay, cool, cool, cool. So gold though. You were next on my list anyway, so let's go there baby, spy. Okay, so what goes up must come down. Spy is overdue for a pullback. Probably not too deep of a, well, not as deep of a pullback as I had been preaching previously because when it came down here, I thought that we would pull back further, but we did find a little bit of support here at the 449 line. Guys, I can't listen to the Kitsbop Christmas. I'm just gonna like not do any music. I want some lo-fi, John G, you're my hero. That's exactly what I'm gonna play. I have my lo-fi playlist is called, I don't know if I have my Spotify connected to my Discord, but it's Houseplant Instrumentals and it's a lot of chief, Tom Dooley, if you know him. That's a whole vibe. Thanks, John, you're the goat. So my thoughts on spy gold though. Next few weeks and you're day trading exclusively. I think we probably will revisit, let me go a little closer on the chart for you. Let me, look at this baby. Spy is a mess. I think that we come back to the basics here. Support and resistance, supply and demand. You see how we had briefly broken up and we were continuing our uptrend, but we had such a bearish day. I mean, we've had a hard week to trade. We have FOMC, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Europe and Japan and everybody's meeting today. Currencies across the world are like falling apart. It's no bueno. But essentially all we can do is look at what's in front of us right here right now. Let's just look at the price and not worry about any other influences. So this was a resistance that when we came back down here into a demand zone, we were able to break through the second time and flip into a nice support. So that's pretty clean, even though it was a dramatic day. Goldo, especially, especially if you're day trading. I know your neck is hurting from the whiplash right now, I feel that on a spiritual level, my guy. But what we're looking for here now is if this is the demand zone, how many times will it be revisited? I think we have 450 might be revisited once more. Let's mark it ish on the chart. If there's some really sad price action, we had this little, I really acted as a double top this week.  I think realistically what we're gonna see, let's go with the seven hour chart, three hours. I started going with, instead of doing the two, four and eight, sometimes I go to the three and the seven just to completely switch it up. Would not recommend this for anybody until you find your style. But it just makes everything look different in my opinion. So do you see this range right here where this group of price, this price and this price all sort of coincides with this 461.95 level might be the bottom of, if we don't come back down to demand, this little range right here might get tapped again, tapped, slapped, if not that range, 460, like that, right there, 460, 27. Let me look back at this for a minute. You also see where price came here once, twice, three times. We might not revisit low, might have a bias there. Anytime you have bias, something you can do to just flip everything around is invert your chart. It's the bottom right hand corner, hit invert. See here, this looks to me like price is going to want to come up again now that I've inverted it. So that's where I was saying with my bias that I think it could go down. If it comes back, where do I think it's gonna go? This guy right here. So when it comes to spy and your day trading spy, you also always wanna watch QQQ and DIA, right? But with spy, you can also watch the ES, the mini futures to help you understand where price could go. I think that 463, 60 is also the swing of this mother candle here. It's revisiting this price range here and holding. If this holds, that'll be nice and bullish for spy. You'll at least get the range from 463 to 466 to play. If it falls, these other ranges identified could happen. Will it come all the way down to the fatalistic demand zone I had identified earlier? I don't know. I don't know. There are certainly fundamental factors that are suggesting that, but realistically, there are a lot of little baby roll blocks here in price that could act as trampolines for it to bounce back to. So that's what I think about spy gold though. Hope that answered some of your questions. Spy for tomorrow in the next few weeks I day trade. Okay, let me tell you exactly what I think for tomorrow, JTW. Whatever JTW thinks. We just put a strong ditto on that. But realistically, when we're looking at smaller time frames, this is actually pretty clean for spy. So we had price came up here, held, then kind of fell through, then used it as a resistance. So here we have the other side, a support falling and being turned into resistance. Then you have to ask yourself, what level is price going to resist next? Where it's right at, right here. This is showing some movement to the downside, but it's also at the 50% move of this candle. If we come out swinging, look at the buying and selling is evenly matched here. So it's not cute. Lowest, I could see it maybe moving to it open. 465, if the bearish scenario plays out. 465, 50, 464, 90. And then a nice solid drop to about 464, 17. There you go. Spy calls, Amy said.  I absolutely say spy calls, because look at this baby, let's go. Let me just pull this. Spy is the up only thing. You know, I get some spy calls for 2024. Call it a day. Spy is so devilish, yes. Put on some chief keyf. OJ Boomin, bitches love Sosa. In this house, we love Sosa. So I would absolutely play chief keyf. But, you know, this is a family server, sir, sir. Basterma, are there any indicators that show the support and resistance zones? Yes, there are some tools that you can use that will help that show correlations between what winds up being supports and resistances, like the Fibonacci tool. But what I would rather show you is, send me your Discord username, and I'll send you the lesson that I did on basic support and resistance, because I don't want you to feel reliant on using indicators to identify support and resistance, even though there are plenty. What I'd rather you do is take the 10 minutes that will take you max on this lesson to learn to identify them yourself. And the reason it's zones that I'm talking about, rather than strict lines, are because the lines aren't always perfect, the prices aren't always there, okay? Goldo, will this video be available for me to watch later? Yes, sir. Spy calls, spy calls, Amy said. Yes, thank you, John G, VTI spy, Tisma hi. Basterma, all right, I'll make a note. Basterma, support, resistance bid. Add me as a friend, that'll be helpful. Goldo, go ahead. The more the merrier. I actually never deny friend requests, so, you're good, yeah, for sure. All right, so let's keep moving on the list. We've got about 20 minutes left here, we're just vibing, Apple on the daily. I know a lot of people were trading this, this guy. So before we even get too far into this, remember Apple had this 150 range that it just did not wanna break for the longest time and once it got over it, it's gonna wanna break through and come back down to confirm and flip that, right? But it's had some good, some fair momentum to go off of things. When you wanna look at the old levels, just keep it easy, keep it clean. Look for where you, since I know some of you in the chat now are looking for basic support and resistance lessons. The John L, no NVIDIA. All right, baby, no worries. Basic support and resistance. I want you to think about it like pegboard and this is what a chart is, right? And if you're gonna put in shelves on this thing, where are price markers at where you can rest a shelf across, right? That's gonna be called a support. And then when price wants to come up and break through this wood, it's going to resist breaking that layer because there's some strength to that. What helps break through that, hitting it more than once, causing little splinters, right? So that the wood can break through more easily. So then if you look at a chart and you look at those as seeing little pegs on the pegboard where you can rest those boards across, that's an easy way to start learning to chart support and resistances. It's also easy to look at a range, look at a price range. Let's just take this. This is pretty much the year. Let's go a little lower timeframe, maybe six months, okay? Find the highest candle at the top. Use your rectangle tool and trading view. When you look at this highest candle, look at that candle body and look at the surrounding candles. Look where price was buying and selling, buying and selling, and just make it a zone. Just mark it off. And I mark this off with red and the reason I do red is because red to me is selling. Selling is supply area. Buying is demand area. So on your chart, you can look through and look for now the bottom candles where you see it's an outlier in price. It's a deviation from where price is at. And anytime it visits, it's like a sale. It's like a Dollar Tree right now. All the stuff gets blown off the shelves, right? Because everybody's buying it because it's so cheap. And the buying side, I usually will mark as green. So these are a little different. This is a very, very, very basic. This is not exactly supply or demand. This is not exactly support or resistance. This is just something to visually help you as a beginner chaotist.  You got eight ADs just now, Amy. Sorry, bro. If anyone else needs it, yep. Too many commercials, I'm out. PBA Vanity. I feel sad to hear that. Hopefully we'll get picked up by Twitch and we can get rid of that stuff. Seven ads after two minutes of listening. Guys, that's awful. That sounds so annoying. Thank you for letting me know that's happening because then I can try and do whatever I need to do to fix it. I know one thing that can help is if you have Amazon Prime, you can subscribe or do that login. And I think that those ads go away for you. But Velvet Winter and PBA Vanity Boy, thanks for the feedback. Sorry about that. Just watch a million commercials, right? Am I not worth six commercials? Seven ads. Jokes, fam. That's awful, honestly. I can't deal. Okay, so let's go back to Apple on the daily here. The next thing is we're just gonna look for some of those zones where price came up and then turned around or price came down and then turned around. You can also look for closer areas where there are the big bullish candles that we've talked about and mark them at about their halfway points. I like for this guy, this range a little better. Okay, so when Apple comes up here and found a new all-time high, it's testing an untested supply zone. And people don't know what price they wanna pay for Apple at this price. They're like, is it worth this much? We don't know. What it wants to do is it wants to come back down and revisit the last resistance to flip it into a support. What it wants to do at the bare minimum, guys, let's come to this range right here. It dipped in here once, did a little dip ski again before running up. But just like Airbnb when I showed you, that mid-range, it might not always hold. This is an example of a support zone though, because you see how there are multiple layers of support. And then you also see how this played out as a bottom pattern here. That if this holds, then that's kind of confirming the price will move up into the range, but it might not, it might come back down. With Apple, this has been also a fairly decent run-up. It could, I think if anything, it'll probably come, if I had to like place my money 155.77. In smaller timeframe, you set on the daily, so that's what I'm looking at. But if you want to look small timeframe on this, there's also some really good price action on this. So you had this high, and then price failed to swing that last high, which means move to the downside. But what was really telling here, what's really showing you that there's more downside movement to come, is that this old line that was acting as a support didn't hold, and then it flipped into a resistance. And this guy right here, this little nugget, he's saying downside. Where to on small timeframe? For Apple, we could probably say this whole range right here, but minimum, these guys.  Are there any round numbers that could come into play? 170 can come into play, and you can mark that. You see how this is actually more of a support right here. So 169, 91, 168, 98. And then where these two wicks meet in the middle? A little John Wick action. You could see a small bounce, but likely more downside to come. This is a double top pattern. So that's my opinion on Apple. Hope that helps. Let's go to ADGI and then DRI, call it a day. ADGI, no ads here either. I think that's because, I don't know if you have premium or not. Eight ads is just like rough though. I honestly have second hand annoyance. I can't deal with that. UBlock doesn't work, it used to. Oof. No my gusta. All right, so ADGI, if you haven't seen any of the charts in a main stock chat, I would really look at that. I didn't get a timeframe for whoever was trading this. So I'm gonna go ahead and look at this on the daily. So this is a recent IPO, August. So it's not that much to look at here. Problem with a recent IPO is that you, really it's in price discovery for quite some time. At least the first five years like I showed you earlier with the first one we looked at, right? So what we can look at here is at the beginning, when this was first listed, I had this accumulation range with this little resistance here. Then then you wanna see any resistances flipped into supports. So you had that flipped here, then it looked like it was maybe gonna hold, but then it fell through. When it fell through, it came and broke up again, but then it fell through.  If you look at anything on this, biotech stocks in general are, we know classic pump and dump actions. It's confusing to, when you look at MAs on things too guys, when they don't have a lot of price history, you need to be cautious because there's not a lot telling you anything about that stock. It's like less magnetic. When we look at ADGI, there's high institutional ownership because they're playing with it, but low performance year to date. The volume here is insane. This just screams manipulation. Anything above a million or two million is pretty fair to trade with high volatility, but 192 mil is just whack. This is like traumatic to a triple digit gain, top five IPOs, blah, blah, blah. Does anybody, is anybody in the chat actually actively trading ADGI? I'd love for you to share your opinions with the person who requested it, but in my opinion, I just would not, I wouldn't even touch this. Not with, I'll do like a Grinch, with a 39 and a half foot pole. Forget this thing. People are gonna think it's gonna come back up here and it might, it could test this again, but what does it have to test before it goes there? It's gotta test this whole chunk right here, this bad boy right here, okay? One, two, this whole range. So the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. When prices broke through these supports, they've turned into resistances. So price has broken through this support. What's it gonna do? Likely turn into a resistance. So if you wanna trade this, if you're in the long trying to catch the FOMO, gigachad, biotech, manipulation, everybody's gonna say, I'll cut it at 20, bro. I'll cut it at 20.  Be the guy who gets out at like 17, 35, $18. Take the easy win. Take the guaranteed win if that's gonna happen, but it's not even guaranteed. What's the general trend of this? Downside, downside, all right? If you're a person who enjoys heart attacks, losing sleep at night, lighting money on fire, or being like Kodak Black and flushing it down the toilet, ADGI is a great stock, a great ticker for you to play, but my opinion's on it. I'm not gonna waste any more time on it. We'll go to DRI for the swing play and I'll catch up with chat. Okay, ADGI was an overreaction. Their drug was apparently not that effective. Shocker, biotechs come out with news. X-drug is super effective. And then, oops, Peter Parker, how to find a good entry reason on one hour chart or what are the confirmation for entries after breaking the support or resistance line?  So last five lessons, Stephanie and I have been doing an Academy on X Traits or on the YouTube for X Traits or the X Hub website. There are, on YouTube specifically, we have at least five videos now that are less than just a couple minutes in length, bro, that go over finding good entries. JTW, Guru, Alexander, Preston, like you name it, like at least six different people have shown their opinions, but what I'll tell you, how to find a good entry reason on a one hour chart or on any chart is, yeah, after the support or resistance line, what you wanna wait for is just confirmations. So when you're saying, what are the confirmations for entry? Price confirmations. Price revisiting twice is a pattern. Three times is a trend. ADGI overreaction, Santa Raleigh or no. Terrence, I wanna Santa Raleigh, bro. I think it's gonna have, I mean, I shared my spy opinions earlier. We'll see. I want an Amy's birthday rally, that's what I want. My birthday's the 23rd. So forget Santa Raleigh. It's all happening for me. The world revolves around me. Okay, jokes, BTWs. ADGI was $35 dumped after the US news and all of a sudden, Europe news comes out, starts trending upward.  Ain't nobody got time for that. That's my opinions on ADGI. Okay, we'll do our last guy here, DRI. And then we'll move on because we've got an Academy lesson. DRI, did I get a timeframe on this swing? Cool, we'll just vibe with it then. Let me give you my high timeframe opinion. Darden restaurants, COVID dip, like most did, but for the most part, we're on the up and up, looking pretty decent. If you just took the whole crash out of the equation, you see that we're making higher lows, making higher highs consistently over the last eight years-ish. So pretty Gucci there, like it. Next, we'll look on the daily. What we're looking for are SR flips, support resistance flips. Where was price previously wanting to break through? Just, let me show you another strat real quick. If the candlesticks get to you, I want you to switch to on the top left-hand corner where instead of candles, like if you're looking at red or green or you can't find those peg spots like I was talking about, change it to a line graph. There's a reason that if you trade using the Robinhood app that they include lines, because it does visually give your, especially if you just look at charts out of peripheral vision out of the side of your eyes, you'll be able to identify the peaks and the valleys faster. So what you're wanting to look for are peaks that other valleys have maybe touched. If you aren't sure, I'm gonna show you two. It doesn't have to be perfect. Pick every one you see. And then you see how some of them come together in an area or a zone. That's an area where there's multiple lines. Then you can refer to that as a support zone, okay? So that's what we can call this bad boy right here. So price held as a support here, came back down and tested again, and then is steadily making higher lows. Where do we think this is gonna go for a swing? I like, I've actually think, what did I read about them recently? I think they acquired a new restaurant because this is a chain, 92.3% ownership, what? What? Good performance here to date, good volume. A lot of discrepancy here with the ratings. When you look at the ratings, the smaller stuff, less important than big names, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, but really that's all just scammy anyway. But we're looking for outperform, overweight. I thought they got a new restaurant soon. Somebody tell me if they know what I'm talking about in the chat. FDX over the goods, hedge funds dumping, Darden. Okay, so look at December 12th. Cheesecake factory is Darden as well. Okay, Gucci, Gucci.  Don't play things next to earnings, guys, unless you wanna gamble a little. Do your thing, do your thing. But when it comes to earnings, generally I would suggest try to avoid playing, unless, or if you take any plays before earnings, except that it's a lot of, that anything could happen. Don't take any contracts unless you think they could go to zero and you would be okay with that. Also, after earnings, I wouldn't play them for seven to 10 trading sessions. That's just in my personal trading rules, all right? So what I think will happen here is if you're just looking at price, ask yourself has price made a higher high? Or is it making lower highs? Price is making lower highs, which means down. The reason we can use trend lines is if you're a visual learner, it just helps to show you price is making lower highs. Then you can ask yourself the same thing about the lows. Connect the last one, two, or three lows together to get an idea of where the lows are going. Then making higher lows or lower lows, and we're seeing lower lows at this time. One possibility for this guy, we could see it hold here in this range since this price consolidated here. Bullish scenario come up here and break through, but, and that's form a little inverse head and shoulders action. I think it's more likely that we see price come down here and flip this into a resistance before coming down to this area where it's going to likely revisit this smaller timeframe demand and then this higher timeframe daily demand. Those are my thoughts, long-term bullish, short-term bearish, and hoping to find some action within the 144 to 145 range. So that's it for me tonight, guys. Let me finish out the questions in the chat. John G. Yup, BFRI, nice small cap too. Is the Academy available to watch for trade members? Are you doing one-on-one sessions? Goldo, I do offer mentorship. You can send a message to Byron or Birkenstock and request me if you'd like, it's $75 an hour. I would be happy to mentor you, bro. Also, I won't take any offense if I'm not your cup of tea. There are amazing, amazing teachers here, coaches, mentors. You can request anybody or soonest available. Oh, and John, I see you answered that too. So thank you so much. Is Academy available to watch for trade members? So lifetime members, Lifetime Elite Plus members are able to join in on the Academy, on the server.  Cool beans. All right, y'all. Very thankful to your valuable review of DRI. I'm happy I could help you. I really liked your ticker request tonight. Thank you so much. Any last thing before we go? I'll just reiterate what I was saying that I look for in... Oh, I know what I was gonna do real quick. Somebody was talking about the tech sector and they were wondering, they're like wondering about overextending or whatever. And I know in sectors before I've talked about the charts, but if you go to FinViz, you go to Groups, you go to Sector, it'll show you what sectors are doing, what sectors are trending, what sectors are bleeding on the performance on the day. Obviously you'll see heat maps places, but I like using the groups better because you're gonna get different time frames. Look at energy. If the performance has gone up, when something's gone up so much, it's likely to have a pullback sometime soon. And what I wanted to point out to you is technology has been in the top three growth for a year to date, year, half a year. So obviously it's technology that's not going away anytime soon, but you also have to realize that sometimes things can be overextended. What goes up must come down. How to find a good entry reason for one hour chart or what are the confirmations? Peter, can you add me on discord, bro? Send me a message about this because I know you referenced it earlier and I gave a quick little message, but I really want to, I'm here to help you so DM me so that we can go over that one-on-one. But right now is eight o'clock. Stefan is about to give the sixth lesson in the Fundamentals of a Trader series. And it's really good. It's on marketing, really good critical thinking lessons. I'm gonna pop over and help him with that. Peter, my discord is at amizel, or you can find me, it's just Amy. Alrighty y'all, love you, peace.


Now, when you went to the Cardinals, so often times, and Jim, you can speak to this too. I see the Cardinals so often times they make deals like this last year of a guy's contract and then they multi-year them. I mean, Goldschmidt, the most recent example of that, did you go into that season with a mindset that it's going to take a lot to get me to sign an extension rather than test the market? Is that kind of your mindset or your agent's mindset? Well, my agent and I, our mindset was, for one, it took me in on the same page. Unfortunately, I'm his first client and vice versa. So it was cool just kind of going through that together as friends and family. But I just wanted to go play baseball. I didn't want to focus on that and had that be the focus point of my season, especially going into a new clubhouse and into a clubhouse that has so much respect. And the goal there is to try and make it to the postseason and try and win a World Series, which St. Louis has done a lot of in their history. So when it came to about the all-star break that year, they kind of said, hey, we're going to respect you guys' wishes. We don't really want to talk about it. They'll make you in your office. But we would like Jason to be here for a long time. I took that as even more sound of respect. But I still knew that our team was heating up and we had a great opportunity in a far and tough division to get to the postseason and make something happen beyond that. So I didn't want to go into the season thinking about myself, thinking about my numbers. I let winning take all the attention and let the rest take care of itself. I love that. So take us to this part because Bobby and I have been on the recruiting side, trying to recruit a free agent to our team. You were being recruited.  You're the Cardinals, the Cubs. You've got the Nationals. You've got Dusty Baker chasing you, trying to get you to be a national. So tell us what that's all about. So I was, man, I was, you know, eye-opening experience because it was the first time I had a choice to choose where I worked, right? And, you know, three great options there. And of course, St. Louis where I was, Chicago up and coming and ready to make things happen on North Side. And then D.C., we see them in 2019, the winning the World Series. So for me, having, I remember Harper reached out to me, who else? I'm trying to think of Ryan Zimmerman. Randall, maybe? Reached out to me. Randall, at the time, I feel like because the Nationals had so many players, right, that were just on top, stacked on top, on top of, you know, the two guys that reached out then were Ryan Zimmerman and Harper. But Dusty called me and he was like, hey, man, no, we want you to come play right field.  But he was like, it's already written in the books. Like we're going to win it all if you come over here and join what we got going on because pitchers, staffs in place, we got the offense, you and right field with our defense and helping us play in our division, a lot of special things can happen. And, you know, I really appreciate that from Dusty. You know, he was honestly the only manager that I had had a conversation with at that point in the process and called me up and said that, you know, when you hear about signing somewhere, you want to hear World Series. You want to know that someone has confidence in their abilities of the team and in the direction the franchise is headed. But of course, I had a decision to make and I ended up to the Chicago. Sure. Well, in that scenario, were you going to place center field and have Harper staying right or the conversation with Harper? What was that like? Was he going to move to center field? Like what take us through that? So I don't think too many people have got to hear this. But for me, that was kind of a part of what was where there was some uncertainty because Bryce hit me up saying that, hey, bro, like, we'd love to have you come place center field next to me in the outfield. Like, let's go win it all. And that's no, you know, that's not an off on him or anything like that. It's just to me, there's just some miscommunication there and, you know, where he's going to play.  And, you know, to me, you got to check in with him and see what he's okay with because he's already in place. So, you know, at that time, I'm thinking, wait, if he thinks I'm playing center and does he thinks I'm playing right field? Like I wonder what the GM thinks I'm doing and then I wonder what I'm actually going to be doing and what's going to be okay. So, you know, that wasn't a deciding factor, but it was definitely something to be wary of when you don't want to go into a clubhouse and have conflict with some of the guys that are already in place.


The development of new electrode materials such as transition metal oxides, TMOs, based on conversion or intercalation slash deintercalation reactions, specifically hierarchically nanostructured TMOs, is crucial for improving the performance of lithium ion batteries, LIBs. These materials provide numerous accessible electroactive sites, shortened diffusion distances, and accommodate volume expansion during cycling. The research progress on synthesis methods, morphological characteristics, and electrochemical performances of hierarchically nanostructured TMOs for LIBs is summarized and discussed, with prospects proposed for future research. This article was authored by Mingbo Zheng, Hao Tang, Lu Lu Li, and others.


Traffic. Hey everybody, Dr. O here. This video we're going to talk about temperatures effect on the growth of microorganisms. So you're going to see here we're going to talk about these four categories and I'm going to add a fifth one as well. So just looking at this chart we have psychrophiles, which are going to be your cold temperature loving organisms, mesophiles, some call them mesophiles. These are moderate temperature loving organisms and these are going to be the most important. Thermophiles are heat loving organisms and then hyperthermophiles or some people call these extreme thermophiles are going to be extreme heat loving organisms. So and then we're going to add a category right there between between psychrophiles and mesophiles called psychrotrophs, which is a term that food microbiologists use. So okay, so first of all, just look at these different ranges. So most most organisms have about a 30 degrees Celsius window where they can grow. So if you look at any one of these, let's say mesophiles, for example, what is that orange or yellow, whatever it is on the far left would be that it's minimal growth temperature on the far right would be its maximal growth temperature and then the peak at the top would be its optimal growth temperature. So the reason we care so much about them as the files is their optimal growth temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. Reason that's so important is because that's 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. So obviously organisms have evolved and adapted to prefer the temperature of their hosts and it shows you why we have to care so much about these. So a couple more things before we jump into specifics here, you'll notice especially with those mesophiles and all of them really notice that this is not an upside down V, right? You've got the from minimal to optimal growth temperature you see kind of a gradual change but then it starts to drop off when you reach that maximum growth temperature. And that's because at least we believe that that's where critical enzymes that are needed for growth are going to be inactivated by the temperature. So the high temperature basically will denature or destroy the protein based enzymes and that's why you see the growth start to fall off there, okay? All right, so really let's get the ones out of the way that really don't matter. Thermophiles, so these heat-loving organisms, the reason we don't care about them is because they don't grow. They really can't grow below 45 degrees Celsius.  They're not going to be pathogens and they're really not going to lead to any issues with foods boilage. I mean they might but not as far as making you sick. They're not a health concern. So like for example, some thermophiles will survive the industrial canning process. So there can be thermophilic bacteria in your canned goods and they can even spoil your food but they're not going to lead to food poisoning. So thermophiles, now if I gave you a good example, a good example here would be organisms that live in compost piles. They love the temperature of sunlit soils.  I actually buy a container. It's about the size of a cereal box of a starter culture that I use when I start a new compost pile to add these thermophilic bacteria. Hyperthermophiles, I think of them, they basically live in hot springs or deep sea thermal vents, things that are associated with volcanic activity. They can grow even as high as the highest recorded one, I believe is 121 degrees centigrade or Celsius. So we don't really worry about them because our primary concern is what makes us sick and what causes food poisoning, right? So the two we're going to focus on here then will be the mesophiles and the sycrophiles. So the sycrophiles, they're going to grow relatively well in the refrigerator and even freezer temperatures. So the sycrophiles, really, I like to think about the freezer. So first of all, I said relatively well because nothing grows well in the freezer. These just grow well in the freezer compared to other organisms. So given enough time, sycrophiles can lead to changes of your food even at the freezer temperature. But they're not a very big deal. The mesophiles, these are going to be almost all your human pathogens and because mesophiles will grow at body temperature and room temperature, they can lead to some foodborne illness and food spoilage as well. So for mesophiles, think human pathogens. Like when we use an incubator in the lab, it's almost always set at 37 degrees Celsius because that's where your pseudomonas and E. coli and staff and strep all these organisms that we care about grow at that temperature. So the mesophiles think human disease, pathogens. Now we've got to add this extra category. So again, I'll show you in the video where it is. But between sycrophiles and mesophiles, this is a term that food microbiologists use called psychrotrophs. And I wish it was on this chart, but it isn't. So psychrotrophs, these are much more important than sycrophiles because these are going to lead to a lot more spoilage in the refrigerator. So they lead to low temperature food spoilage. They can grow in the refrigerator. So if you're looking at foodborne illness at lower temperatures, like the refrigerator and even in a cool room, it would be the psychrotrophs that we're primarily concerned about. So it's kind of, there's obviously some overlap here as far as which organisms cause food spoilage. It would be both the psychrotrophs, especially at lower temperatures, but the mesophilic organisms would cause food spoilage at room temperature as well. But just for all intents and purposes, if you're in one of my classes, mesophiles think pathogens, human disease, psychrotrophs think food spoilage. Okay, so those are the different groupings of organisms based on the temperature they live at. So that is temperatures effects on growth. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


Pikeville Medical Center has recently employed the use of a new type of catheter known as the Penumbra Lightning Bolt 7. The primary use of the catheter is to remove blood clots from peripheral arteries without unnecessary incisions. Dr. Al Adasi has been using this clot busting method for several weeks with a high success rate. The device is specific in the fact that it reduces the amount of blood loss that the patient has. If you have a suction going on actively inside an artery, you're pulling out clot, but you're also pulling out good blood. This device minimizes that. It also focuses on the clot by clearing the pathway off the device so that the device doesn't get bogged down and need to be retrieved, cleared, and then reinserted mid case. Cancer. It's a very scary word, but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. The device also helps minimize blood loss as it removes blood clots. This quick and easy process could be the future of cardiovascular surgery. The first few cases with the initial devices, patients lost about a pint of blood. The lightening modification meant that the blood loss was down to a couple of ounces. And with this bolt modification, it's even less than that. It'll pull the clot out and you can actually see the clot, which is very, very gratifying to see the clot outside the body and flow restored in the organ beyond.
