Members of the general public are given the opportunity to address their concerns in intervals of 2 minutes. The administrator does have a timer and will make presenters aware of when their time has expired. The planning commission reserves the right to amend these procedures on a case by case basis. The planning commission uses the consent agenda to approve noncontroversial or routine matters by a single motion and vote. Examples of such items include approval of site plans, annexations and street names. If a member of the planning commission or the general public wants to discuss an item on the consent agenda, that item is removed from the consent agenda and considered during the meeting. The planning commission then approves the remaining consent agenda items. I'll go ahead and read the consent agenda. It includes the approval of the July 12th, 2021 minutes and the 2 cases that are on the consent agenda are for site plan review. I'm just going to click through the slides as I read these out. The first case is S plan dash 2021 dash 0012. This is 1813 Main Street, a request for site plan approval for the conversion of an existing building into a 26 unit multifamily and commercial mixed use building. The properties are zone C5 and are in the design development review district. The next case on the consent agenda is S plat dash 2021 dash 0059. This is approximately 94.3 acres at 8025 and 8041 Garner's Ferry Road. This is a request for site plan approval for the construction of a 368 lot single family residential subdivision, the Garner's Mill subdivision. The properties are zoned rural with Richland County and are currently being considered for annexation with a single family residential zoning classification. And a traffic impact study was included with the application. Okay, having heard the consent agenda, is there anyone from the planning commission that would like any item removed from the consent agenda? Hearing none, is there anyone from the public that would like to have an item removed from the consent agenda? When participating, please provide your name for the minutes. Please communicate by sending an email to COC board meeting at Columbia SC dot gov. Please communicate via phone by pressing star two to leave a voicemail or star three to speak in person. We will pause to allow communication from the public. Again, that phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> and the meeting code is 4342. We will take a brief pause to see if anybody from the public virtually would like anything removed from the consent agenda. I do not have any callers on the line that wish to speak. Thank you. Do we have any emails? I think Leah is monitoring emails. I saw her on mute but I didn't hear. She says no emails. Thank you, Lee. Okay, having no request from the public to remove a consent agenda item, I will entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda as read with all conditions. Got a motion to approve. Can I get a second? Second. Got a motion and a second. All in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? No. The ayes have it. The motion carries. We will move to the regular agenda portion of the Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission will now, well, sorry, we will now move forward with the regular agenda items. And that's going to take us to the property at 1135 Carter Street, TMS number 14102-04-01. And this is a request for site plan approval for the construction of a 150-unit multi-family residential commercial development. The property is located at the corner of Carter Street and Metalark Drive and currently contains two commercial and three apartment buildings. The proposed plan unit development entails the demolition of all existing buildings on the property and again will construct 150-unit multi-family senior housing development. The building will also contain 4,000 square feet of office space and the approved PUD zoning allows for 158 off-street parking spaces to be provided for the development. This application also entailed a traffic impact study which the city traffic engineer has reviewed and concurs with the findings. And I'm not sure whether or not the applicant is online or in the audience to speak to the request. Okay. Any questions from staff at this point? I mean any questions for staff from the Planning Commission at this stage? Mr. Chair, I have a quick question. Yes ma'am. And reviewing the diagrams of the apartments, I wasn't able to conclude the square footage of the apartments. Can anyone speak to that? Is it the square footage per unit or is it the total square footage of all the buildings? Per unit. Or just an average. They may be different sizes and I realize that. It looks like... Can we confirm if the applicant is available to give a brief summary? This total looks like 165,000 square feet. Yeah. We've got 150 units. The reason I raised that question is just because it looked like some of them were very small to me and that was just an informational question. Thank you. Yeah. They are one in two bedrooms. The maximum amount of units is two bedrooms and a majority of them are one bedrooms. All right. Thank you. Any other questions for staff? If we confirm the applicant is not here. Is there anybody from the public that would like to speak on the matter? Hearing none. Having no further questions, I'll accept the motion. Do we need to wait for some public comment? I was going to suggest that. All right. Let me go through the public comment since we may have some folks still virtual.

Pause briefly to see if any emails or phone calls come in. I have a question. Sure. Staff was was it previously zoned planned unit development or is it? It was not. That was a recent rezoning request to rezone the property to Pudr. Okay. If it's just a senior housing facility, does it have to be a plan unit development or is there? It has some commercial in it as well. So there are it is residential and then a portion of the building is commercial. Okay. So it will have it said there was two commercial buildings and three apartments. They're keeping the commercial. They demolished those built. They demolished the existing buildings and then they're incorporating some commercial into the senior housing. I believe that's going to be kind of like a medical type use. Gotcha. It's all within that building. Correct. Up to 4,000 square feet of office. Okay. Yeah. I do not have any callers. I'm aligned with their hands raised. Thank you. Any emails? Please. So no emails have been received. Okay. Any further discussion from the planning commission or any questions for staff? Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion. Chair, I make a motion to approve the site plan review for 1135 quarter street. Got a motion. Can I get a second? Second. Got a motion and a second. All in favor of signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? No. The House have it. The motion's approved. The next case on the regular agenda are the revisions to the new city of Columbia zoning map in conjunction with unified development ordinance to account for recently annexed and rezoned parcels. And Rachel Bailey, our zoning administrator is here. If you guys have any questions about those, I can just click through them if you'd like. Sure. And the list of these addresses, of course, is included in your packet. All right. For case five, does the planning commission have any questions for staff?

And we will take a brief pause before we hear any comments that may have been received via writing or via voicemail. I do not see any callers with their hands raised. Okay. No callers looks like there are not any emails either. I believe we don't have any emails. I saw a note from Lee that popped up that said no further. No emails either. Anybody else from the public wish to speak on this matter? If there's no further questions from planning commission, I'll accept the motion. Mr. Chair, I move that we accept the zoning takes amendments revision to the new city of Columbia zoning map. That's before noted. Got a motion to approve. Can I get a second? Second.

I will call the planning commission meeting of the city of Columbia for August 2 2021 back into session. We're going to go ahead and do is we're I'll go ahead and we can kind of walk through the case. And we're just going to provide the information, but we just want to make sure make clear that it's not being re heard again. Okay, so I just want to do that. Okay, so this is a case that is for the it's 94.30 acres at 8025 and 8041 Garnes Ferry Road TMS numbers 19 100 01 dash 10 and 19 100 dash 0 5 dash 0 4. And it's a request to construct 368 lot single family residential subdivision. And again, the property is located on the south side of the 800 block of Garnes Ferry Road and the south side of old Garnes Ferry Road. Property is currently wooded and is being considered a considered for annexation. This proposed development will contain 368 single family residences with an average lot size of 7267 square feet. Each residence will contain at least two parking spaces and there will be some parts of the development preserved as open space and common area. The proposed subdivision will have one entrance near the Garnes Ferry and old Garnes Ferry Road and two entrances along old Garnes Ferry Road. The applicant has provided a traffic impact study that determined that the that the development will not have a significant impact on the level of service of the study area at the intersections at the horizon year 2026. The traffic study recommends that the old Garnes Ferry Road at Garnes Ferry Road intersection be signalized with an actuated signal with the protected left lane phase for the westbound Garnes Ferry approach and a left left turn lane also be added for the westbound traffic impacts study Garnes Ferry Road approach. It is recommended that the left turn lane be provided with storage length of a minimum of 200 feet if space is space permits. A full traffic signal design and permitting will need to be provided for this intersection. The traffic engineer has reviewed that traffic impact study and concurs with the study. The signalization and all of the right-of-way improvements of course will have to be coordinated between the city of Columbia as well as the South Carolina Department of Transportation. That's the request and that that's the request the applicants request that was just reviewed. Okay. So there was a traffic impact study done with requirements that they have to make improvements to those areas. Okay. So we'll now address any questions from the public. Yeah. Okay. We would just ask that you come before us and state your name first and last name clearly for the record police and just a reminder that we have a two-minute time limit for each person speaking for or against. Thank you. I'm Penny Evans and I live in Mill Creek Estates. When we first bought the home in 84 it was primarily military families. Now we're going to be within a mile of the property that's proposed with the 94.3 acres. So we have safety concerns now especially you may not know that uh Juicy is right there in your backyard. That traffic is currently coming through our neighborhood. It's going to impact the development there with the 94.3 acres because employees are using that road as a cut through and a back entrance to Juicy as well as the Mark Anthony Brewing company that's being uh constructed right now with uh with over 300 employees. They're going to be using uh Old Garner's Ferry Road also as a cut through. We're seeing traffic issues now. We have a safety concern that we've already addressed with the representative Wendy Brawley. She's working with us with SCDOT trying to get some relief. You have 18 wheelers that use their GPS to navigate to Juicy and Mark Anthony Brewing. GPS is wrong sometimes and they end up in our front yard with the 18 wheelers. So this isn't your problem now but it will be uh it will impact the residents of that community when when it's fully developed. So we're looking for partners in Mill Creek estates. We would love to be partners of this new development um where we come together on the safety terms and work together as a community. We've been trying to get the repaving done of the Old Garner's Ferry Road for three years before covid. We were able to get a new bridge on the Old Garner's Ferry Road. You can't drive your car right now uh on Old Garner's Ferry Road because it shakes so bad. There's so many bumps in the road. It's amazing how we as taxpayers can't get it done but as soon as we get a new development it's done. We just want um a partner. We want to partner up with this developer and we would like to get some things in writing. We would like beautification as well.  What about little Richland? We'd like beautification as well. We deserve it. We're taxpayers. So we're just looking for a partner um to partner up with us in Mill Creek estates. Yes ma'am. Thank you. Thank you for that. Yes ma'am. Please come forward if you would state your full name for the record please. It's Danita Lowe and I'm also a member of the community that she was just speaking of and I'd like to know what is the timeframe for building all of these homes sir. Well the first step is to um get it approved and then once they get it approved they will provide the city with construction drawings which a lot of times take some time they'll provide the city with construction drawings and then they'll have to go through the the um approval process to get those approved and then once they get those approved they will start going into they will go into construction to lay down the roads and that kind of thing disturbing the land and then after that they normally would go into the bonded plat process start selling lots and then they would start um building. I'm not sure what their timeframe is but most of the time it takes I would say probably five to six seven months for them to go ahead and get started and that's on the fast that's that's going fast. And with the additional homes what is the plan for additional schools in that area? I can't speak to the I can't speak to the schools but um we do um send the notification out about the new construction I believe to um people um at the school district or on our distribution list so um they are included in our notification when we send it out with regards to new development. Okay so I need to talk to district about this. Yes ma'am. Okay. All right thank you. Yes ma'am. Please state your full name for the record please. I'm Maxine Lloyd and I also live in the Mill Creek community and the map that you're showing that you are showing on the screen is that available to the public? The plans? Yes ma'am. And and how do I find it? Um you can find them if you go to our website which would be um www.columbiasc.gov. When you get there you'll look for um planning and development. Uh huh. And when you click on there um you'll look for planning commission. I believe it's agendas and minutes. You'll click on there and if you go to the meeting for this date. Yeah. Um you can click on that and you'll see the case and you just click on that and everything will pop up. Okay. The traffic impact studies there as well in its entirety. All right and then the traffic study is showing that we will get a traffic light to help us to get um to Garner's Ferry Road. This this development is calling for traffic um traffic light. That's what the traffic engineer is saying but they will of course have to coordinate that with DOT um in order to work that out. Okay. But the traffic study the person that they hired to look at the traffic study is saying that one that there needs to be a signalization there. There must be a signal because we are we are already struggling and we're 146 homes in Mill Creek. Yes ma'am. And we're already struggling to to get Garner's Ferry and the Garner's Ferry old Garner's Ferry Road that Ms. Evans mentioned. Yes ma'am. Is that part of the plan to be paved and widened to accommodate all these homes extra um drivers? Yes there's there's um there are improvements that are required to both um old Garner's Ferry Road and Garner's Ferry Road that are in that recommendation. Of course that's who they that's who they hired to study the traffic in the area and that's what their traffic engineer is saying but again they have to work with the Department of Transportation in order to coordinate that. Okay. Everything's going to be simultaneously or they're just going to focus on the houses and then the road lasts. Oh no ma'am. They have to do that simultaneously. When they when they do the development that's part of their that'll be part of their um development plan. They'll do all of that. I'll hope they stick to the plan. Will there be another meeting about the development once they get approved? The development is already there. The development has been approved but based upon um all of the people that are here and the concerned with it what we will do is we're going to we'll reach out to the developer and ask the developer to reach out to the neighborhood and have some discussions with the neighborhood. Yes ma'am. Especially with the industrial park in our backyard because that look area look like it's going to even have even more um companies coming and I was wondering if that plan site that future site is on the website anywhere that we can see and share with our community. No the only plan that I'm I'm aware of is this one but again we'll have the developer um we're going to reach out to the developer and let them know the concerns and ask them to reach out to the neighborhood. Okay. Okay. Because we're definitely concerned about the 18 wheelers. We've got young kids that lives on Longwood Road and you've got you know and you do you you'll you'll see an 18 wheeler trying to make a U turn in in your front yard and it's not a pretty sight. Yes ma'am. And it's not welcome. Yes ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. One thing too just that Andrew was just reminding me is that the industrial park is actually an unincorporated Richland County. Right. It's a Richland County property not correct for city review. Hey I'm Robin Smith um I actually found this because I'm an admin on the low Richland community page. I also grew up in Mill Creek estates um and I heard everything that was said here but like a lot of our neighbors because my parents do still live in Mill Creek and I'm 38 so they've been there I guess at this point 36 37 years now um and what I'm hearing is a lot of things that may happen or will happen. We know that when the 2015 flood came a lot of our roads were closed. There's still roads closed. Old Ghana's Fair Road was closed for a solid two maybe three years because of the the issues with infrastructure on that road. The road is old. We have issues getting people to come and fix potholes in the road. Um I see that this project is going to be 364 homes I believe but there's no mention of the 126 project that's being put across the street or the 120 26 development that's being put maybe five minutes down the road across from Square D or the Benson Road Trotter Road project which is going to be I believe it's an additional 276 homes that's being built and the in the Bowdoin Village those homes have already started being built. I am a lower Richmond graduate at the time when I went the classes were already full. We still live in the community so what I'm not really hearing here through all of this is what is going to because I hear well DOT is going to pick up. We can't even get DOT to come out and fix the drains that are filled when we have water there after just basic rain. The infrastructure I saw from the traffic impact report that the company that did this is in Lexington. We're in Richland County. Um I know developers are able to use who they want but it sounds like there are a lot of people who don't live in the community that are making decisions for us and no one cares they'll come they'll build the homes. It'll take them two three four five years. Another developer will come in. We're just trying to figure out who's going to actually have our backs because it seems like we have no issue with growth but we wanted to actually make sense. 300 is this almost 800, 900 homes being built and garnish they all lead back to the garnish for your role. So that's all I have to say. Thank you. Appreciate your comments. Thank you. All right. Do we have anybody else from the public that would wish to speak on the matter? Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Um at this stage I would say that we moved to adjourn again. Okay. Okay. Uh we'll we'll move to adjourn. Can I get a motion to adjourn? Chairman, I have a motion to adjourn. Got a motion to adjourn. Can I get a second? Second. Got a motion and a second. All in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? No. The meeting is adjourned.

The Department of State Services has called for calm after the United States Embassy in Nigeria issued a security alerts warning of elevated risk of terror attacks in Abuja. The services public relations officer Peter Afonair issued the statement on Sunday advising Nigerians to be alert and assist security agencies with information regarding threats and suspicious criminal acts around them. The US Embassy had earlier in the day warned that terrorists could target government buildings places of worship, schools, markets, shopping malls, hotels, bars, restaurants, athletic gatherings, terminals and transport terminals, law enforcement facilities and international organisations. For joining us to discuss this is Balazaka, he's a security expert. Mr Zaka is so good to have you join us. Good evening. Thank you. Good evening. Great.  So if the DSS is asking us to be wary then it means that there is trouble in the land obviously and that's the seat of power. That's the capital. Remember what happened in a week. We had the president's convoy attacks. We had you know an attack that was somewhere close to the FCT. We've seen all kinds of things happen. Recently thank goodness these train victims were released to us after so much has happened. Where does this even place us in terms of the fight against insecurity because it looks like the president keeps talking tough but we don't see much to actions? Well what is happening is a practical indication that somehow somewhere as far as security management and security control is concerned I mean Nigeria is not getting is right and the level of security or the security alert has become so serious to the point where I mean governments of other countries have to warn their citizens to be aware of how they come into Nigeria. Parts of Nigeria they need to go to and for those who are already in Nigeria they need to be aware of areas that we technically call black spots. You don't blame Nigeria's citizens for avoiding some areas that we technically call black spots and we cannot blame governments of other nations for trying to pass our security alert to their citizens. So what I'm saying is this with this security alert and information of course investment will suffer in Nigeria whether you call them corporate investments or petty jobs and activities because when you talk about places that people should go and buy things for their daily needs I mean if there is such an alert people will restrict their movement and perishable boost will get perished and for those who are supposed to enjoy corporate patronage of course people will be after their lives and avoid so many areas and investors will suffer whether they are small or major investors. Let's talk about the issue of you know whether we stay at home or we don't stay at home there is a threat. It took the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria to issue that warning. We as Nigerians living in Nigeria we have no idea that this is going to happen. Well the DSS or security agencies can tell us that they're trying to doubt attention they do not want to alarm us but the government of the day I like I always like to go back to the fact that this is one of the things that President Mohammed Buhari and his vice ran on they promised in fact one of the reasons why Nigerians voted for this administration was because they promised that this issue of insecurity will be a thing of the past but can we also say that it has more than doubled in fact it has become something that you know it keeps duplicating itself now we have sales we have not just Burkaw Haram but we have ice swap we have the bandits we have the castle rustlers we have the unknown government even in the south east we've seen all kinds of killings and kidnappings on the rise could we have nipped this in the pod earlier on and what is it that every other person in every other part of the world even right here in Africa certain countries have been able to deal with you know the gun running across the Sahel but it looks like Nigeria we keep on you know making the same mistakes over and over again what is it that we're missing in fact one of the biggest problems I have with our economic and political leaders is lack of honesty ordinarily I would expect us to be running a system of governance where children are to parents what citizens should be their leaders they should not expect us to be perfect but we should be honest and always tell them the truth if things are not going right tell your children if you are if you don't have a job if the economy is high with our leaders is that they don't tell the citizens the truth and they have forgotten that we are in the days of information technology there is nothing that you can hide everybody knows that the security architecture in the country has the case and things are not going well citizens the truth so that citizens can support leaders and make sure we find workable solutions the leaders will be acting with the oil and gas or some of them will take the truth okay I just want to give you some statistics to address the point that I'm about to make now terrorists killed a soldier recently they've killed a customs officer they kidnapped 20 farmers the police on one hand is saying that oh well we plan to strengthen our security and restrathogize I'm wondering as a lay person if we have dealt with this level of insecurity that keeps going from bad to worse in almost eight years under this administration I mean and even before then but what we're seeing now is obviously has all obviously you know decayed under this administration why is our security agency telling us that they're trying or they're planning to restrathogize they're planning to strengthen security should this have not been done in the first instance again there are people who will say that oh the police has been stretched thin and and we don't have enough police officers to police us and now we have soldiers on the streets who are not supposed to be there we've also heard the police chief the IDP of police talked off say he's he's going to ensure water type security across the country across all of these places I mentioned when we started this conversation they've talked off and said we're on top of the matter we'll leave no stone unturned all of these statements have not been matched reaction again when you've talked about the fact that well they're not being sincere okay um they even if they were sincere to us and nothing is still being done where we where we really headed to because again more and more lives are being wasted unnecessarily interagency collaboration or let me package it well security interagency collaboration is a problem of its own is a subject of its own that will be discussed on on another day again if it can create the time and the opportunity lack of standing it's a major problem on its own but we are talking about general failure of security across the sector of Nigeria because in the first place when you talk about security there is what we call territorial integrity security and internal security everywhere to have a functional and a well equipped police system to be involved in the issues the military is supposed to be there to take care of intervention, inclusion or aggressions but based on their fundings we know that there is lack of motivation within the police force we know that I mean even some of the police that use their lives their families don't get I mean the military was deployed and when the military got deployed somewhere somewhere there was no conflict between them and that's why you will see fighting with the civil defense personnel will be fighting with the police officer or a customer and they will be killing themselves collaboration is a major problem on its own and the subject let's talk about um what Nigerians have to face on the daily basis now Nigerians have somewhat and this is not just about the Bahari administration this has happened over time Nigerians have had to provide everything for themselves ranging from water to light to sometimes even grading their own roads you know because we have seen that government have not necessarily lived up to expectation and when I say government again not just the Bahari administration and now it seems that we've resorted also to providing our own security um by living in gated areas and and you know getting private security personnel's what is the fate of the actual the avid Nigerian and and and really um what value is there on the avid Nigerian life between you I will answer this question I just want to tell you that everything I will tell you okay give my phone in the area present themselves rather you said something about questioning them I mean some of these people are smooth talkers they've done this over time so much that they can say it in their sleep so I could come here and talk a good game but then when it comes down to which don't forget I'm going to use the president Bahari here again he's on the chopping board this night um he promised a lot in fact he set our expectations pretty high but as we speak from the the the the put together of his cabinet all the way down to he speaking with us or giving us attention or even addressing us as a country um we can say that the president has not necessarily lived up to that high expectation of where the hopes you know we had for him were at the time so again questioning and getting answers is it just that that we need to be able to pick the right people again if everything that you've said tonight is anything to go by talking about the failures of our government subsequent and of course the present ones um why then do we need a government if we're doing everything for ourselves and what's the essence of this government if they're unable to give us the basics even even even the most important as securing lives and property when I'm home to get a visionary leader but once you get a visionary leader connecting to hope that that's very good lieutenant because he will not be the energy journalist he will not be the medical doctor he will not be the engineer he will not be the environmentally but he can identify and elect him around himself with supporting lieutenant and that's why some advocating for an inclusive government on ambition of growing Nigeria economically politically socially that is the meaning of an integrated and an inclusive government okay well I want to say thank you Mr Balazaka he's a security expert always a pleasure to have you on the on the show we're hoping that we will make the right choices come 2023 thank you all right well that's the show tonight I want to thank you all for being part of the conversation and of course we will be back tomorrow as usual talking for development and bringing you the biggest political stories across the country and even around the continent I'm Mary Annacon

If we look at this then let's just I'll show you in a couple different ways. I'm going to pull this to the right I Could say let's say this is going to be x times P times P of x Brackets I'm going to make this black white centered and wrap and So I could say this is going to be Then this times this Right, I'm going to copy that all the way down So and then let's say that this is going to add. Let's add some decimals here So basically we could say in the one minute time interval, right? There's a likelihood that one person arrives We have seventeen 0.8% so that would be like 0.18% Of a person right if we were to calculate this out to try to get the mean right and if the likelihood in one minute time of two People arrive is going to be the 24.3 percent so we can say that'd be like 0.49 percent of a person so then if I if I Multiply that out and then I add up the this I'm going to equals the sum of This control shift down and I add a decimal home tab Number group adding some decimals. There's our mean so we can also calculate so you can see that's the mean that we came up to over here So we can also calculate that using a function, which is a good time to introduce We can use the sum product So if I want to do that this way I can say this equals the sum product Brackets and then I've got my two arrays because I want to multiply Then this array times this array. So I'm going to select this entire array control shift down and Then say comma the next argument or the next array is going to be this control shift down and Enter so now I should get the same thing home tab number Couple decimals now if we wanted to get to the variance we could do that a couple different ways I'm going to pull this over. I'm going to pick these two up I'm going to control X and put them over here control V and then I'll add another Column here. This column is going to be then X minus the mean And I'll pick this up and say home tab and clipboard and so now I'm going to say this is going to be X This number minus the mean which we've calculated a few different ways. Let's pull it over here I'm going to F4 to make that an absolute reference F4 and Enter and then I can add a couple decimals number group adding a couple decimals Fill handle copy that down So I'm going to take that and then I'm going to square it so I'm going to say this is going to be squared and I'll format paint this home tab paint brush Squared to do that. I'm going to say equals the cell to the left carrot shift six To to get to the power of two or squared entered I can add a couple decimals there double-click on the fill handle Bringing it down and now I'm going to take that column times the P of X times P of X and I'll put my cursor here Paint brush here, and then this is going to be equal to this That we just calculated times the P of X percent and Let's add some decimals Does some of decimalizing it double-click bringing that down and so to get to the variance one way we can do that variance is I'm going to say equals the sum of These items control shift down Enter and if I add some decimals We get to the same 2.73 because that's part of the relationship of a Poisson distribution and this is the perfect Poisson distribution now you can also do that variance calculation just to practice the some product function So we'll say this equals some product. This is an array formula I want another bracket because I'm going to take it to the power of two or square it put my cursor on Cell a b2 control shift down on the keyboard so I can go down to the bottom I'm holding control backspace so I can go back up top with the keyboard And then I want to take each of those minus the mean which I'll pick up here in AK so I'm going to pull this down and So we have that closing the brackets taking it to the power of two So I'll say shift six carrot to the power of two square in it And then the second bit comma the second array is now going to be here a C2 control shift down and then I'm going to hold control backspace to go back up to the top and Close up the brackets and enter. So there we have it. I'm going to then go to the home tab and Fonts group and add some decimals and once again, we have the variance should be the same As the means so just a little bit of practice with the excel formulas there now some other questions that we might ask From like a from like a practical standpoint is we might say we might ask What's the likelihood that we have equal to or less than three? Arrivals within a one-minute time period. These are the kind of questions we can ask now if I plotted everything out over here I could say well these this is the likelihood that zero people arrive exactly one people arrive exactly two people three people And I could sum those up. I could say okay. This is equal to the sum of these


probably in my personal favorite is a full-time doctor and that's the idea of memory versus patterns. Medical school makes you feel like you have to memorize everything, right? The idea of drinking out of a fire hydrant is one that's oversold. But honestly, if you had to ask me how much I remember from medical school, pretty little. But this is the part that I learned as a full-time doctor and definitely later on in my time during residency as I was a senior physician. That is that I learn more through medicine. I'm a better doctor because I can identify patterns through repetitions and taking care of patients. It's almost like you doing a flash card for your biochem, cell bio class, anatomy and finally being able to identify structures that initially you're like, how do I even say this inside? It became easy because you put in the reps.

Hey there, njroute22.com here with the week 14 episode of the life of two Australian shepherds. Okay, so this week's episode isn't necessarily thrilling, but we're going to do some weight updates. When we got Ocho, he was 8 pounds 9 ounces and for this episode, he's over 19 pounds so he's more than doubled his weight. And as far as Sonny, he was a real little squeaker. He was only 3 pounds and 15 ounces when we picked him up. And as of today, he's 14 pounds 10 ounces so he's well more than tripled. He almost quadrupled his weight and they thought he wasn't going to make it. Man oh man. And he's really holding his own as you'll see in the next clip at dog training. Well, one thing that's a pain in the neck is transporting little active puppies. And we devised a way to put them in a little cardboard box on the way, but it doesn't stop them from climbing up and wanting to lick you so you really have to touch him and pet him the whole way. But he eventually gets it and likes to lay down so it's just a few minutes of anxiety. So at dog training every week, they put the dogs into like two halves, like the bigger dogs and the smaller dogs. And Sonny was really kicking butt on the smaller dog side to the point where the organizer of the training class made mention of it or took notice of it and said, okay, this dog is graduating to the next class. And now he's over here with the big dogs. And they said, wow, he's really fearless out there. He's not intimidated by the size of the other dogs. And he also played tug of war pretty good. I mean, obviously the other dogs have the weight advantage and he can only try his grip on his teeth can only be so good. But he did, he did really well and had no problem on either side for himself that he may have caused problems for other dogs. The little dogs couldn't handle his speed and power. And this is a little look at the overall facility. You could see the two sides here and a lot of things going on. It's a little bit of a frenetic class, but overall I think it's very well run and it's called our dog got class or something like that. It's in Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital or Vet there on Route 206, I think it is. And that's it. They're growing quick. We'll see how much they weigh next week. And of course, after the training, Sonny was thirsty and he drank his bowl of water out in the snow. So we'll see what happens next week. Thanks for watching.


Will Charlotte Tilbury redeem herself when it comes to concealers? So Charlotte Tilbury just launched her all new beautiful skin radiant concealer to Velvon the Charlotte Tilbury website. I'll have it linked down below in the description box for you guys. If you're new here I strongly strongly strongly dislike Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Wand concealer which is what she's had in her line for years now at this point and I love Charlotte Tilbury everything she comes out with is so great but I just couldn't understand why her concealer was so drying aging and not good for me. So she recently just launched this new one so I'm excited to see my thoughts in it. I just feel like it can't be much harder to get worse than what we had before. Personal opinion I know some people like it but I didn't. I ordered it, here it is, can get it on the Charlotte Tilbury website. It is $33 and this is a medium coverage hydrating concealer to conceal, correct, brighten, and lift the look of your eye and face. I picked up the shade 5 medium which is a fair medium shade with yellow undertone. I also wear shade 5 in the airbrush flawless foundation so I thought since these two were the same name I'd try them out. So let's get into it. The concealer itself comes in this box with all of her crazy claims that she always has clinically proven, conceals, brightens, and lifts the look of skin medium buildable coverage. 16-hour wear we will see about that. We have even more if you want to pause you can look at it. Let's see this has a six month shelf life which is very short for concealer. Normally concealers are around the 12 month point so keep that in mind and made in Germany. So here is the packaging itself. As you can see much more simple than her previous concealer. It also has a dough foot. Her other concealer has a sponge. I much prefer this. Let's get into application. Okay so let's see the swatch right now. Excuse my nails I'm trying to hold off until Monday to get them done. But this is what we're looking like and then so it has a thicker consistency but it blends out if you ask me really really nice. I love how it looks on the hand but of course the face is what matters most. You can definitely see there's like a glowy element to it. Up close lights are low I want you to see.  So I'm just gonna get some right here and right here. I'm gonna start off with a little bit. I can build up if necessary. I'm gonna use my Rare Beauty concealer brush. Blend this out. So I like to put color right here because I have a little bit of blue right in this area and then we're gonna spread it out. So it is a thicker consistency concealer. It's not blending out difficult. It's blending out just fine but you know sometimes you just have thinner more liquidy concealers that you put a little bit down and it kind of covers a larger area. Not with this it didn't cover too large of an area but I really like this lighter application. I would say definitely gave a medium coverage and here's the difference between no concealer and concealer. What are you thinking so far? I can definitely see a glow on the under eyes. Let me get a little closer to a mirror so it does definitely have a glowier appearance which is very different from her other concealer. It looks pretty lightweight. Let me pop on a little more on this eye and see.   It was a little lighter than I was hoping for it to be but honestly it blends in beautifully to highlight the area of the face. I'm honestly not used to my concealers being more on the glowier side like this. So I'm gonna go ahead and put on some cream bronzer and blush before I put any powder down so that this can settle and we can see without powder how this settles into the skin. So give me a moment and I'll be right back. Okay guys so I put on my cream bronzer and liquid blush both from Charlotte Tilbury. I have no powder on my face. It's been about five or so minutes and I have to say what I'm impressed with is the concealer has not sunken into the fine lines of my eyes yet.  The only thing that I'm not obsessed with about this is because it's so glowy it actually compared to the airbrush flawless finish you can see you know clearly where the foundation is there's not much glow and then wherever I apply the concealer there is a glow to it and I don't necessarily find that the most flattering for the under eyes. I think a satin finish is fine but this is straight up glowy to the point where it's emphasizing all the texture and little bumps. So for more mature skin I don't know how that's going to play out but by the books glow is unflattering under the eye area like that but on the contrary for more mature lids it really is sitting pretty with a lack of powder but I do find the glow to be a little unflattering in some lights I feel like I can see a little bit of shimmers on the under eye but I'm really really searching for it I think it's fine that I would like to add while I'm sitting here editing that glow is not gonna be good for spot concealing so if you have a pimple that's protruding out of your face it's gonna be glow in like a flashlight so this is not really good for spot concealing just in case you were curious but I think it looks very good without setting powder but for me on the daily I need to have setting powder so I am going to do that so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna just make sure everything is smoothed out over here which I don't need to do much because it didn't travel and we're gonna stick with Charlotte Tauber here and I'm gonna use her airbrush flawless setting powder now I know she just came out with a new powder I did order it you guys but it won't be on my channel anytime soon because I sent it to my old address like the smarty that I am so I won't be reviewing that anytime soon but we're gonna go with the classic I'm gonna get just a little bit not too much to see how this really works but we're gonna roll it lightly press it on at the under eye and doing this right here instantly made the concealer much more flattering because I mean you can see the glow and then the powder just took that away and it looks nice and lightweight under the eye so we're gonna do it on this eye I know some people don't use powder on their under eyes for me it's part of my everyday routine so I got to do it to really do the comparison I'm just gonna go ahead and set the rest of my face right here hey amazing I'm gonna finish up the rest of my face I'm gonna keep it really light around the eyes so that we can see how we act under here throughout the day and I'll be right back let's take a look at the under eyes with the full face of makeup on I went really light on the shadow on the under eye literally just trying to keep it pretty close to the lash line I'll get these mascara bits off later but so far I think it's looking really really good I mean you can see there's a little bit of blindness happening but like that's my face you know what I mean you have lines they're gonna be there but I don't think it looks too heavy on the under eye I think it looks nice do I think this is the most flattering concealer in the world I do not I think the glow is just a little bit too much that even with powder I can kind of see the texture so it's not the most smoothing concealer ever but as of now I feel like it is miles better than the other concealer I like how lightweight it feels on the under eye and it doesn't seem to be doing too much swimming yet looks nice and lightweight as well it's not gonna give you full coverage perfection if that's what you're looking for but this seems to be a very wearable concealer so far so I'm gonna continue wearing this throughout the day because time tells all when it comes to complexion products but so far I'm very happy with this concealer I do plan on testing it more and testing it without powder seeing how that does it's not probably to my taste of a concealer exactly but performance wise right now it's doing really really well so I will be back to give you guys a wear test in a few hours so we can see how it's doing be aware there will be some traveling happening in the under eyes just because that's that's how it works but so far it is a pretty good concealer all things considered so I'll see you soon in a couple hours since I have been wearing the concealer and this is on my iPhone so you can kind of see it from a different lens I mean I think it looks really good the dark spots are from this mascara which is definitely transferring but my under eyes look so nice even where you can see it's swimming into fine lines it looks really good and lightweight and if I weren't doing a wear test all I'd need to do is pat it out and I would be good as new but so far we're only a couple hours in but I am so into this concealer in terms of the wear time who's ready for the update it's been multiple hours since I've been wearing the counselor and here's how we're looking the little splotches I don't know if you can see this is a makeup forever professional mascara yeah she transfers just FYI as I'm continuing to test this mascara out as well but ignore the black dots I think the concealer looks really good I mean you might be looking at me like I can see your lines but they're there I like you know I smile it happens but it doesn't look cakey or dry or anything like that I still think it actually looks awfully fresh given how many hours I've been wearing this no I think it wears really good so for me okay I'm uncomfortable close let me back up I get close to you guys so that you can see but like look at myself and I'm like but anyways a major pro for me is the longevity on this oh my gosh this is so much better than the first concealer that concealer by the end of the day I looked so gross on the under eye area this looks so good after being worn for this amount of time but upon initial application I'm not really the biggest fan of it it's too glowy for my preferences it really does emphasize the bumps and lumps on under eyes I don't like it when concealers do that I love a smooth finish obviously who doesn't so I think a lot of you who do have you know some texture underneath the eyes be aware it will be emphasized but I will say once I set it with a little bit of powder and literally just a little bit of powder that went away if you use a good powder that should smooth over it and take it away for the most part so it's not the most moving concealer but I think the wear for me outweighs the actual finish because I can doctor it anyways I'm really really happy with this concealer generally speaking comparing it to my collection it's not been out my two face born this way full coverage multi-use concealer okay that to me creates these smoothest under eye just like goes right over it it's not a top tier concealer for me but it's a really good one and it is one that I would recommend if you're interested and if you do like that glowy look to the under eyes I think you will really like this one especially given how it wears if you wear a lot of a glowy makeup and complexion products I think this will be the perfect complement to that if that's your style of makeup I mean I'm mostly here to talk about performance and I really do think it delivered so it's up to you to decide if you think it's worth it or not I'm not saying $33 is cheap but I'm so used to spending over 50 plus dollars on Charlotte Tilbury that like this seems a little bit more attainable than other items in her collection so I'm really happy because whenever I did full face of Charlotte Tilbury I was always missing that concealer category and now whenever I do a full face I'm pretty much wearing a full face with the exception of a few things I will be happy to pull out this concealer so anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this review I actually I'm gonna wear this for a few more hours so if anything changes in where I will comment and pin it for you guys just in case you know because I'm gonna be honest I haven't exactly left the house since I put this concealer on and once Jose gets home from work we're gonna go out and do stuff so I'll put some wear and tear on it and let you guys know but I'm really happy with this and I want to hear your thoughts as well so make sure you guys like this video and I'll subscribe to my channel I'll catch you guys in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one!
