Γεια σας, είναι Vicky here και παιδιά σας. Σήμερα έχω ένα καλύτερο καρδιωτικό καρδιωτικό χώρο, χρησιμοποιήθηκε σε κομμάτι, σκοτές και τάσεις. Είναι ένας εμπλόγος που εξελίξε την κατάσταση πιο τελευταία. Παρακολουθείτε να δείξετε τον καρδιωτικό μου καρδιωτικό να ξέρω όλα για αυτό. Φυσικά, υπάρχει πολλή εμπλόγη και πολλές κύβερες. Αν δεν είτε γινάτε με αυτή η εμπλόγη, η ιδέα είναι ότι αντιμετωθείτε έναν εμπλόγημα και πάνω να χρειαστείτε ένα από τα κύβερες να τα βάζετε πιο παντού, και όταν την κύβερες να φύγετε, είτε τα κύβερες πάνω ανοεί. Βοήτερες έχουν πολλές εμπλόγες που έχουν υπάρξει, θα σας δείξω μόνο εδώ και θα δείξω πως they work. Φέρω ότι αγώνατε τα αγώνα και τα γράμματα που τεχνούνται και τα ρούν. Έχουν θάμπεις όσοι καταλαβαίνουν τα μέρια που εφημερισθεί. τόσο τόσο θάμπεις που εφημερισθεί με εφημερισθεί που δεν αρχιζουν. Έτσι μπορείς να κονταλιστείς εφημερισθείες για να κομψάξεις τα πιόση σας. Έχουν εφημερισθείες για να βοηθούν τα εφημερισθήματα. Αυτό είναι το σλυδε. Το πούλ σλυδε και αυτό είναι το δύο σλυδε. Αυτό δίνει δυο σλυδες, ευκαιρήσεις. Οπότε θα χρησιμοποιήσω ένα από αυτές για την καρδιά για να σας δείξω πώς λειτουργεί. Τα γρήτια έρχονται με κάθε στάμψετο, αλλά μπορείς να δείξεις περισσότερο από αυτά. Τώρα φυσικά αν δεν θέλεις να χρησιμοποιήσεις την καρδιά, υπάρχουν και άλλα χρώματα που έχουν και αν θέλεις να χρησιμοποιήσεις your own, δείξεις ένα από αυτά's που μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις από πολλές χρώματα που έχεις, or any pattern paper. Τώρα έχεις also the option of stamping the image by using black ink as I'm going to demonstrate for you here, but you can also have the option to stamp them with different colors. So I'm going to show you here how it works with black ink and then if I place the grid on top and slide it, you will see this little duck jumping up and down. But of course you do have the option of stamping the duck in other colors and that's exactly what I'm going to demonstrate today.  Now I'm just going to show you how this one is going to cut out. Make sure that you use the precision platform, if you are going to cut it out with your physics machine or a metal like I'm using here. This is going to make sure that it's going to cut nicely. I'm also passing it through a couple of times. This is a very intricate die so you need to make sure that everything is going to cut out nicely. And you can see that it works fine over the stamped image. Now for today's card I'm going to use the black grid but I'm going to stamp the little duck with color. So let's go ahead and do that. The adorable duck is actually from the Be Happy stamp set. I'm going to stamp here with orange ink and I'm wiping clean the eyes. I'm going to use black later on to do that so I'm going to do some multiple stamping and that's the reason why I'm using my stamping platform. I want to stamp on top of the same image again and again. Now I'm just trying to make sure that the eyes are clean. I'm going to stamp the image one more time. I did get a good impression but I will go ahead and stamp it one more time. I need to make sure that this is going to be nice and vibrant and really crisp because I wanted to show through the black grid that I will be using later on.  Because I'm working with a marker I didn't get a very crisp image so I'm going to do it a couple of times just to have that black ink nice and vibrant. Now although I will be using the black grid later on I just want to show you that it really works with the cutout grid so I'm going to slide it here and you can see the duck jumping up and down. I'm going to show you that you can add even more color on your image so I'm going to use a yellow marker here. This one was quite dry so I'm using a yellow marker to color the beak and my duck is ready. It looks kind of funny but when you place the grid on top it looks perfectly fine.  It gives you lots of dies, two of them are the main dies that you need. These are the two ones that I have here and to put them together you need to make sure that you fold on every little crease and when you use those dies they actually create those scoring lines for you so it's easy for you to just go over them with your bone folder and reinforce them. Now this is actually going to be a stabilizer for that slider piece and they actually have motion crafts, have a video which is very basic and step by step that you can follow easily to create this. I just saw that and it was easy for me to recreate it and I'm going to make sure to link it here and down below the video. Now I'm using little pieces of double-sided tape and on the stabilizer and this is actually one-eighth of an inch double-sided tape that really makes your life easy when it comes to putting these slider cards together.   So I have a standard card size here that I created from orange cardstock I'm going to stick this little guy on top making sure that he is going to be nice and centered through that window that I have cut out and I have also cut out different pieces from the same slider set to embellish my card even more so there are little tabs that you can stick on top of your main tab just to embellish it a little bit more and I used the same cardstock the orange cardstock for that with the circle dies that I used to cut out that little window there I nested them one inside the other to create a little ring to place it on top for a more finished look and now finally it's time to put everything together so I'm going to take this window slide it through the slit so the tub comes at the front and notice how I have some double sided tape on the two sides of this panel at the back now you need to stabilize this somehow and remember that die that we had at the beginning that I called a stabilizer this is exactly where I'm going to add a strip of double sided tape so I'm removing the backing and now I'm going to stick that at the back now this is going to stick down only the stabilizer but not the whole window which I will be able to move easily with the tub now all I need to is to remove the backing from my two foam tapes and put everything together for my sentiment I used one from the same stamp set as the little duck that says just wanted to say quack I used VersaMarking and white embossed it and I'm keeping this card really simple just like it is I think that this animation really makes the card and it is really mesmerizing you can play with it all day long just watching the duck going up and down so that was the card for today I hope you had fun and got inspired don't forget that this is part of a blog hope celebrating the new release so make sure to visit my blog to learn all about it and enter the giveaways thank you all for watching and see you next time


Coming up on DTNS is Apple done for hope for data portability and a free streaming TV service low-cast finally gets sued This is the Daily Tech news for Wednesday July 31st 2019 in Los Angeles on Tom Merritt rocking and rolling in Salt Lake City I'm Scott Johnson, and I'm the show's producer Roger Chang Sarah Lane is out today on another assignment. We wish her the best. We miss her. She will be back next week But if you missed good day internet, you missed us talking about the Kevin Costner verse Along with cryptocurrency and much more get that and more at patreon.com slash DTNS Let's start with a few tech things you should know Spotify added 8 million subscribers last quarter that missed estimates by a half million But Spotify says monthly active users grew 7% to 232 million and paid subscribers grew 9% to 108 million due to free trials and discount promotions However, the average revenue per user fell 1% since last quarter to 4 euros 86 Spotify reported a revenue rise of 31% over last year that narrowed its operating lost down to 3.34 million dollars and as lists had expected I'm to lose 62 so that's better Spotify has reached new licensing deals with two of the four major record labels with active talks Ongoing with the other two and Spotify's podcast audits grew more than 50% since last quarter Still pretty new still doing good DJI announced new first-person view or FPV goggles a high-definition camera and transmitter The FPV experience kit includes goggles to transmitters and two cameras for $819 US the fly more kit includes a phantom style controller the goggles and one transmitter and one camera for 929 The kids can stream 720p video at 120 or 60 frames per second With a latency of 28 milliseconds at a range of up to 2.5 miles drone racers check it out Samsung reported its profit fell 56% last quarter as memory chip prices decline due to oversupply In fact Samsung's head of investor relations Robert Yee warned that trade restrictions not just between the US and China But also between Korea and Japan Are going to mean quote We no longer believe it is possible to reasonably predict or forecast our free cash flow for 2018 through 2020 Samsung projected its NAND chip inventories will start to come down That should help ease the price pressure and it reported server customers are buying more DRAM And they expect that to continue operating profit for Samsung's chip division fell 71% and profit for mobile fell 42% over last year Well Chrome 76 has decided to make some news today. It's launched on Windows Mac Linux Android and iOS it now blocks flash by default That is to say it'll be flashed for those maybe not the no users can turn flash back on it's air on in its settings If they want to but keep in mind that flash will Have its full support removed entirely from Chrome next year. So they're taking it all out This right now is temporary gonna be gone for good then Chrome 76 also prevents websites for knowing if you're using incognito mode And an install button from progressive web apps now shows up in Omni box or in the Omni box I should the spirit of 76 Alright, let's talk a little bit more about Apple. We gave you the the hard numbers yesterday But refresh your memory Apple reported revenue of 53.8 billion dollars up 1% year over a year Despite revenue declines in Europe and China iPhone revenues overall fell 12% from 26.5 billion last year to 26 billion That means if you're doing the math in your head that iPhone now makes up less than half of Apple's revenue And that's the first time it's been that way in seven years Services, which is Apple's new hope grew 12.6 percent year over year to 11.45 billion dollars and Apple says they have 420 million paid subscribers Across all offerings. So Apple music iCloud etc. Etc driven by strong growth of the App Store in China So even if they're not making the revenue in China based off the phones They are still making some money off the App Store there and then help drive services growth Other categories like wearables iPad and Mac each contributed about five billion dollars to revenue Apple also noted a 50% increase in monthly users of its TV app and reported that Apple paid doubled since last year to Almost reach one billion transactions per month. So the all of that's going well Apple said that despite slowing phone sales It's install base of phones is higher than ever Including a rise in the install base in China and if you're like well, wait a minute They're not selling as many phones. How's that possible? Well, they say customer loyalty People keep their iPhones. They don't trade them in for other things They just keep them longer and a strong aftermarket So the people who do get rid of their iPhones are selling them to other people and that's that's continuing to go And Apple seems to be okay with that because they want to sell those people services Next quarter Apple will have more services to report Apple card is going to launch in August according to Tim Cook And of course, we already know that Apple TV plus and Apple Arcade are going to launch in the autumn And we're probably gonna get new iPhone models at least announced maybe not for sale But at least announced by the end of the next quarter So they'll they'll have a few possibilities to drive revenue up And if those phone models do go on sale before the end of the quarter that will boost iPhone iPhone revenue We'll see if it brings it back up above 50% but it I look at this Scott and I Think this is Apple doing what they say they need to do They know the phone market worldwide is slowing and they're gonna make that up with services And so we see phone revenue declining not precipitously not falling off a clip But declining as expected and we see services revenue coming up. It's not outperforming. It's not going gangbusters But at least it's going in the right direction And their revenue was flat, you know up 1% your rears pretty much flat. Yeah, I I actually have a theory I don't know how much water it holds Clearly they know what was coming or that you know, they've talked about this for a while about services being beefed up Slowing at the market of phones blah, blah, blah, that'll make sense to me But I have this theory Tim Cook's gotten up on multiple Occurrences or he's been on stage and said we know you're keeping your phones longer. Oh By the way, we have a reporting tool that will tell you how much time you spent in what apps on what on which phone and how long Also, we're gonna do some things with battery to make your older phones last longer Basically, they've said we know you're keeping them longer And so we're gonna give you more services and abilities to use those for phones longer It's like they've embraced this idea that people aren't going to necessarily buy a new phone every fall year after year after year I think for a while obviously that was the goal and people did but they they've embraced that in a way that actually feeds the services side So it's a subtle message, but I actually think it works for him I mean you could also cast the exact same thing you said as Apple noticed what people wanted And responded to that market We tend to think that corporations have all the power and just dictate what we do but turns out, you know People on Moss maybe not each one of us individually But but people as a whole have an effect on companies too and they're like well People are holding on their phones more often Maybe we should move from making our money off of unit sales to making our money off of selling people services For the entire life of their phone. We're gonna make more money that way well speaking of Apple They announced it will join the open source data transfer project, which is developing interoperable systems to let users move data between services The aim is to allow direct transfer of data without having to export to a hard drive and then import into a new service Think iCloud and Dropbox and a million other services the data transfer project includes Tim Berners-Lee solid Mastodon Google Microsoft Facebook and Twitter Now Apple joins that consortium and I guess we'll see what they want to do if you have been following DTNS closely, you know that I have been very bullish on the idea of open source data transfer I've mentioned Tim Berners-Lee solid several times as an example of a good project that if it can get momentum Could provide what we want and solve a lot of these privacy issues because if it works and is adopted You would control your data and you could withdraw consent to see it from people And and you wouldn't have as many of these concerns about my data is in a million places I don't even know where it is, right? So seeing Apple join this following on our Apple earnings Comments make sense because they're like well We want to make it easy for people to join our service And if that means letting them bring their Google photos in at the risk of also letting them take their Apple photos to Google Then so be it maybe that's a good idea I did not realize Google Microsoft Facebook and Twitter had already joined the data transfer project as well They joined last summer So this is it's not done by any stretch. It's not like hey, we've solved the problem But this is looking very positive. This is what you want to see is Apple joining with the others to say yeah, okay Let's let's make it so that you can move your data between our different services So then we can just compete on who has the better services rather than monopolizing the data That also makes sense for Apple because Apple says we don't want to monetize you We just want to sell you services, right? I think that is I agree 100% across the board and it reminds me of other changes that are happening the video game industry is experiencing this a little bit but not so much with data but with universal logins via multiple platforms Playing over those multiple platforms like this is the same kind of battleground or not battleground but this is a this is a place where Companies are finally starting to figure out ways to be more interoperable and compete on Actual products and services and not on those on restrictions or how much of a pain it would be to switch a service I really like that. I feel like that actually is pro-competitive and Happy to see them join and anxious to see what these guys all come up with Yeah, I am too and then if it was just the companies joining I'd be like, okay That's that's interesting But the fact that it's got Timberly solid the fact that it's got mastered on gives me hope that maybe this is This is for real and you need all of those you need you need the open-source projects And you need the the big companies to make this work All right, let's talk about reading your mind a team led by neurosurgeon Edward Chang at the University of California San Francisco funded by Facebook reality labs Published in the journal nature communications that it had developed a brain computer interface that can decode words and phrases Both heard and spoken in real time now. This isn't a product. This is We're watching someone speak and we're looking at our our machine learning Algorithm to see if it is correctly saying. Yeah, that's what they're saying, right? So it's a cheat right now, but the question is can they actually do it and They can the process decodes two kinds of information from two different parts of the brain to increase the accuracy They're adding context So a machine learning algorithm uses the activity in the brain to determine is a person listening or are they speaking? Then the algorithm uses context of what the patient heard to determine What sound is being imagined? So if there's two sounds that are looking very similar in the in the speech cortex They can use the context of what was asked to figure out which of those it is That's going to help the machine learning algorithm get better of course in the in the future and the system right now Can decode perceived sound what you hear? 76% of the time and produced sound spoken speech 61% of the time Granted, this is a restricted set of questions and answers The aim of the research is to restore speech and stroke or spinal cord injury patients and the next steps are To improve the algorithms and widen the vocabulary that the system can understand so it's early early days But you might have noticed that I mentioned this is funded by Facebook reality labs And what Facebook wants to do is get this tech up to speed so it can put it into augmented reality Headsets so that you can control them by thinking. Yeah, 100% that and you know prosthesis that you could have for a missing leg or something There's huge application for this and your brain can kind of go crazy. It doesn't just stop with with the immediate Discussion of what the research is for it goes really far and wide and I Really like this sort of stuff and I would I would argue even though those questions are limited and it's not like these statements are super complex 76 and 61% is a really strong showing for For the potential of this Attempting to just go like yeah, okay. They're reading your mind, but I know what they it's a restricted set I think yeah, but they're reading your mind, right Better get excited about a thing because this seems like science fiction made real Everything starts poorly. I mean I say things to my echo these days that if I had told you 20 years ago I was gonna be able to do one day you would laugh me out of the room so Small steps baby steps. We'll get there and the idea of being able to for me to be able to think things and have things happen Outside of my normal body processes is so exciting. I'm ready for my chip I guess is what I'm saying. Let's go. Yeah, and and right now. This is UCSF researchers This is meant for medical use, but with Facebook funding it. We are absolutely gonna have a lot of controversy Once Facebook starts to try to make use of this about Facebook reading your thoughts You think people overreacted to the idea of Facebook setting up an independent cryptocurrency Imagine Facebook taking this research and saying, okay, we've got a way to read your mind like Get get ready for for people to flip out. Yeah If that if Facebook is still around by the time this gets perfected, which this is not gonna be perfected soon It's gonna take a few years get on board for the long haul everybody Security researcher Beto on security nothing to do with the current presidential candidate Notice that the Netflix app on Android requested access to his physical activity data Meaning you're you know, which I wanted to know if he's swimming or biking or it's a very weird thing to Know what your accelerometer is doing as a service that just gives you movies and TV But anyway, Netflix told the next web quote this this was part of a test to see how we could improve video playback Quality when a member is on the go In a car in a train, I guess at the gym running at a trend for activity data Yeah, it would be at the gym running swimming, etc. Yeah, sure. Sure. So not all Netflix Netflix while they're swimming I Mean you could I mean you could right you get enough waterproof stuff I guess you sort of list and you could have it off to the side while you're swimming you're listening to David Letterman interview somebody Yeah, very weird But anyway, not all Netflix accounts are in on the test and that flicks doesn't have any rollout plans at this time So don't worry. It's not coming to you anytime fast Android Q has added an activity recognition permission to Android Q to let developers know you're in motion when you're using the app This could be used to help figure the best way to buffer video. So it doesn't skip as an example I still find this a little head scratchy like I don't I don't I'm not saying I don't buy their reasons They they have the money and the and the desire to test all sorts of use case questions and and whatever And I think they should probably do some of that and they certainly ask you first. You can say no Yeah, right. This is part of Android where you give the app permission. It's not stealing it It's just an odd thing to ask me though for a video to tell me on why because I You're not asking me like you said to be on a train, right, right? Oh, are you okay? Can you let us know if you're if you're moving on a train? I mean, I guess they're given the accelerometer would would let them know that but I feel like The optimization of video while moving is a real thing But it feels like you only really can make a difference if you're trying to optimize it while I'm in a car Or train or something going high speed, right? I mean I run pretty slow the other people run fast They still don't run fast enough to like flip from cell tower to cell tower every couple of seconds. So What exactly is Necessary like also if I'm running on a track or if I'm swimming Or if I'm cycling in place. Does that matter? I mean it feels like they just want to know what activities people are doing while they're watching video But that's not what they're saying what they next web is they want to improve video playback quality, right? And they they also didn't say I mean they just straight up didn't say it So I don't know if they could say it but this isn't saying that they're gonna, you know This is they're not taking this data and saying well, we're gonna make a whole bunch of exercise Video, right, you know, they didn't say that either. So so for me None of the use cases seem that and that I have no problem with Netflix having that information if they ask for it Like hey, can we know about your activity so we can decide what videos are great for people while they're working out? I'd be fine with that if it's all above board But they're saying it's for video playback quality and that's the part I know we have people out there who work in in video streaming Let us know feedback at daily tech news show calm if you're like, oh no The legitimate reason you might want to do that for activity is X because I'm not quite seeing it. Yeah me neither Low-cast poor low-cast low-cast if you don't know is a free donation supported internet service that operates in 14 cities right now in the United States Streaming local broadcast stations over the internet only in their home markets You're like wait didn't area get run out of business for that. Well There's the difference area was a for-profit company Sports fans coalition New York which started low-cast is a non-profit operation and is taking advantage of a 1976 law That lets non-profits Retransmit broadcast signals as long as the nonprofit does not receive any and I quote direct or indirect commercial Advantage so low-cast is saying we're we're taking donations from people to cover the cost of operations We're not making any money off this all we're trying to do is make it Available on the internet for people to watch their local broadcast if they live in a building where the broadcast isn't very good Etc. Etc. It started in New York by people who wanted to watch sports games that were broadcast over the air now It's operated for a year and a half and Finally as we all knew what happened ABC CBS Fox and NBC have jointly filed a lawsuit against low-cast The suit alleges that low-cast has admitted it is used to help authorized services negotiate lower carriage fees with broadcasters I don't know if low-cast has admitted it but charter did charter said hey We're in a carriage dispute with broadcast stations. Go use low-casts. They're free Yeah, the suit also alleges that low-cast is securing commercial advantages in the form of nationwide app distribution and collection of viewer data And points to AT&T and dish as being commercial beneficiaries now remember what I said the law says you can't have direct or indirect Commercial advantage as part of your operation The suit is saying that AT&T and dish are getting commercial advantage from low-cast So it's kind of flipping the language of the law on its head a little bit and also the commercial advantage That AT&T is alleged to get is that AT&T gave money to low-cast which it did And in return has included the low-cast app on the direct TV and you verse set top boxes Which anybody can do I have the low-cast app on my Apple TV Low-cast founder David Goodfriend also used to work for dish And that appears to be the commercial advantage that somehow dish gets is that a former employee has started low-cast I think they're trying to imply like oh dish told him to go do this so that they could get better negotiations It's all about negotiating carriage fees. I Have no idea if you convince a judge that low-cast is illegal under this But I know that this gives you the shakes Scott as someone who loved ARIO and ARIO Which was for profit and went to the Supreme Court the Supreme Court said yeah Saying you have a million antennas doesn't really exempt you from having to pay a carriage fee How do you how do you feel about this? I know low-cast isn't available for you But but does it bother you well? I mean I'd heard about it and got excited about it because it seemed like a cool solution and immediately was reminded of area Like immediately I was like oh that thing it's like that kind of except Maybe better because this is not for profit and maybe this will come here And I can't freaking wait and I can finally cancel cable for the all three other reasons. I want to cancel it and I already canceled cable. I guess I have direct TV for free right now with a phone deal I got but anyway, I just I would really like local programming in this way and now I feel the same burn as I did last time It's not gonna happen probably. I mean they have to win this suit I guess but that's ABC CBS Fox and NBC they got deep pockets. They have lawyers willing to go the distance You've got Fox and Universal In the case of NBC, how do you fight that I'm cast is also benefiting from low cast it on its cable business Well, and that's the other thing I wanted to say real quick The idea of the director indirect commercial advantage thing the law that they're they're sort of using as the reason they should be able to operate in this way It's so different now than it was in 76 and I and I don't mean just the times have changed I mean Collection of data is everywhere all the time on any service and if you're a nonprofit You're still doing that and that stuff is perceived and or maybe legally recognized as Commercial advantage because now you have yeah names and names or money contact information matters like I don't know how they thought they would get away with that particular Squeeze by without getting some heat. So like you said, we probably knew the suit Oh, they didn't in fact in interviews David. Good friend has said yep. We've been preparing for this We knew we knew this would happen. You know, we've been digging in our heels I guess the dots they're trying to connect is AT&T gave money and a former dish employee founded this so they're gonna try to convince the judge This is AT&T and dish Creating something that they get commercial advantage from they're gonna have to establish that AT&T and dish are Responsible for low-cast then they can say and low-cast Indirectly provides a commercial advantage to them But whether you can say that AT&T giving them a donation and whether you could say a former employee founding something makes them responsible for it I think is a tall order. Yeah, I think I agree All right moving on to a tablet bit of news. No, it's not an iPad Samsung announced the 10.5 inch super amulet Samsung Galaxy Tabs s6 tablet with a snapdragon 855 processor up to 15 hours of charge and an S pen Charges wirelessly and attaches magnetically to the back The tab s6 also has a rear dual-lens camera with a new or sorry with a built-in neural processing unit for scene optimization and Optical footprint reader that is built directly into the screen the tab s6 sells for 649 with six gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage For 729 or eight gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage Let's say they don't have the prey. Oh, no, that's Six gigabytes at 729 for you pre-order start August 23rd. So that's coming right up as a I use a tablet all the time now my current tool of choice is an iPad Pro a pencil and Smart software that I think is crucial for anyone creating Art and design these days talking pre-show about the the artist who currently works on the Captain Marvel series for Marvel not the movie but the the comics is doing the entire process in an iPad Pro with a pencil and Procreate which is also amazing and it's kind of become a tool Dijour for artists and illustrators everywhere and I've said this on the show a few times What I would really like so that Apple keeps making good stuff is for all these guys to keep competing in this space and I think Samsung if anybody would have the ability to do it given that they're the only ones that seem to really be spending a lot of time and tablets since Google seems to have pulled away a bit and focus more in Chromebooks So that's what I would need to see here. I would need to see their commitment to my particular need for me to get super jazzed about it but I also think that The tablet market needs Competitive alternatives and right now there really aren't very many so this is good for everybody I just whether or not it's a tool I can use or not I guess I need to see when this thing hits and we get some reviews and stuff It's all about that S Pen for you, right? Yeah thing and Samsung also has their decks ability Which is the ability to turn this thing into a my more Laptop desktop type experience where you can have multiple windows and everything and that's built into this as well But that's that's less of an issue for the artist in you. I know like yeah, and I should mention that like I realized Mike I have a I have a very, you know specific Corner that I'm aimed at here and and I'll fully admit that there There's a million things people are doing with their tablets these days iPad or not And so I'm not really thinking about any of that Surely this is gonna be great at watching video and it's gonna be great at flicking through my news feeds and all the other Things tablets are great at And even more so in Doc mode like that stuff's gonna be awesome Can I create a beautiful painting on it? I don't know. Yeah, just need to find out So I guess I just shout out to the other artists keep your eye on this one. It's possible I'm still holding up for Microsoft surface to get better like we have options. It's just You know, it's just good to see you Samsung sticking to that market and throwing some love its way Hey, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Although today was like six minutes. I guess I read slow subscribe to daily tech headlines Also, big thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories vote on them a daily tech news show dot reddit.com and our Facebook group Facebook comm slash group slash daily tech news Show, let's check out the mail bag Michael from suddenly summer, Yokohama here I hope you're keeping cool Michael. They they've been having a major heat wave in Japan the first purpose I thought that the solely radar in the new pixel for phones would serve is Interpreter for the deaf says Michael if you don't remember solely is the chip that Google says It'll put in the pixel for they'll be able to read your hand gestures So you can control the phone without touching it Michael says your description of the technology a month or so ago Screamed accessibility feature with precision to distinguish finger gestures and why invent a whole new gesture vocabulary When such a language already exists granted It'll need to be translated to the various sign languages that correspond to spoken languages since there's not one single sign language for the World but they've already got the Google Assistant working for those spoken languages I remember learning a little bit of sign language in elementary or middle school in the 1970s And I don't recall if it was part of school or not But like many of the accessibility functions on computers and phones some of these things leak out to the general population as they are Handy get it sign language hand. I imagine that such functionality could initialize a revolution in tech for the deaf I don't know anyone who is deaf personally. So this speculation may be way off But when you first talked about it, I recall hearing the word accessibility leading me to think it was for sign language I was sure that if Allison was on the show she'd appointed that out to yes She would have the air conditioned shirt on Monday show caught my interest as well looking into it as always take care Yeah, Michael if you got to get that get that shirt next year Let us know how well it works and great great point The solely radar demos have been much more precise than the one that they discussed for the pixel 4 I imagine that has to do with maybe power consumption or the the amount of space they want to put in the chip Somehow but but it does seem like the pixel 4 is a little less precise But those finger gestures that it can do in the demos man That's you could you could definitely have a phone that recognized sign language for sure. Yeah Love it. Well, thank you Scott Johnson as always for being with us. What you got going on to tell folks Oh, man a lot of stuff So I have this I have this game that I've been making called space rocks incorporated It's card game and I've been working on it for a long time and then I found out that An internet friend and someone a lot of people probably know Gary Witte has a game that he's working on called space rocks and I went oh shoot About this.

In today's video, we're opening the most obnoxious Yu-Gi-Oh! product ever made, the obnoxious Keltiguardian Den. What's up guys, we're back with another 2004 10 opening, almost 20 years old at this point. This is another ZacBee special. He recently bought, I think it was a Command Knight 10, we opened it up for him, I think we got one or two foils, it was two foils, two supers, cause he said he wants to get three foils this time as I did. That would be incredible, let's see if we can do it. So he decided he wanted to grab this Command Knight 10 from ruxen34.com. By the way, I do have a lot of cards, a lot more than usual cards on ruxen34.com, I will be posting there a lot more soon. I have some stuff available that you can buy and have open, stuff you can buy and have sealed, stuff that you can buy single, stuff like that. So I have a lot more on there, go check it out, if you guys want to pick up anything it'll be linked in the description, potentially the pinned comment as well. I also have a few bonus packs for us to open up, of course it goes from the past one, I'm running super low on these, hopefully there's more ghosts. But before we get into it, I have a giveaway, I'll be giving away these three cards, Paladin of the White Dragon from Magician's Force, DB2, Vampire Lord and the Legendary Fisherman from Pharaoh's Servant. Like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know down below. Will Zack get the three plus foils he's looking for? Or is it going to be two or less again? And don't forget to thank Zack in the comments for the epic content. We get to open some old school packs, thanks to him. Let's start off with the ghosts from the past one pack. Here we go, we've opened several 2004 tins recently. We've had great luck, we've had bad luck, we've had average luck, kind of like with his last time, more average. We have Sunvine Healer, let's see if we can get a ghost shirt. Last time I think I pulled a ghost shirt in one of these videos. We have a Sunseed Twin, I think it was his. And then a Starry Night, it was the first pack. So we are not going to do that this time. I also threw in a couple of cards like, or packs like Metal Raiders, 25th anniversary. I want to see if we can get that Picanio Mall. Just start off the luck, nice and hot. Ryukishin Power, let's see if we can get more infant. Anything cool out of here? Blast Juggler, he's juggling. Look at that mouth man, he's like. Yeah, look at that. Put me side by side with what I just did. We have Rock Over Grotto number one. Cominari Attack, Big Eye, The Swamp Battle Guard. He's shinn... He's shinningen, he's shinningen, hoshinningen, hoshinningen. I always used to say hoshinningen. I think it's hoshinningen. Okay. And an arm and a lizard. Okay, all that talking for nothing, okay? So I know the people who are, who send me emails saying that I talk too much on my videos are not going to be happy about that. Sorry guys, I apologize. I just got a little carried away there. Hierotic Dragon King of a Tum. Time Thief Redoer, I'm doing it again, I'm talking. Danger Thunderbird, we have Metapholes. And Starry Night Ceremony. Okay, let's try Back to Back Ghosts from the Past. Maybe that will give us some ghost luck. We got to kickstart the luck so that Zack can grab something crazy. We really want a nice obnoxious promo. Most obnoxious product ever made. I mean, it's in the name. Time Thief Flyback. We have a Volcano Handmade Fairy Tail. Tails, not redundant at all. We have Blast and Thestilos, the Mega Monarch. It's not redundant. It's two different tails, okay? Dark Magician, where are you? Where are you, Dark Magician? Please let us pull you. Okay, didn't work. No more blinking. We got to pull some crazy. I think Spell Roller could be the one. Spell Roller could be the pack, okay? Three from the back. It's going to have Blue-Eyes Tune Dragon. It's going to happen. We have Chorus of Sanctuary. Come on. Darkness Approaching. But not yet. There's going to be a shining array of light when the Blue-Eyes Tune Dragon appears. We have Kotodama. Peacock. Wow, get the little streaming service. Penguin Knight. Snake Fang. Twin Long Runs. Number two. A Ruxen Special. Right into the hollow. I knew this was going to be it. Tune World. Super Rare. You love to see it. New style card on this 25th anniversary. Very fun. Very awesome. All right, all right. Let's keep my luck going. My luck's going to increase so that Zax can just go. Absolutely insane. He's going to go five for five. That'd be amazing. Sunvine Healer. Time to fly back. Heal Zedru. The Shining Dragon. Cosmojo. Okay, okay. Just a Raid Raptor. Tribute Lanius. I've used those Raid Raptors before. They're pretty fun. Let's try. That goes for the past one again. We can do this. We have Meta Falls of Ulflame. Hierotic Seal of Supremacy. Hierotic Dragon of Tethnuit. Hierotic Dragon. Sun Overlord. Oh, Hierotic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis. There we go. And a Shooting Star Dragon TGEX. TGs. They just got some support recently. Pretty cool. All right. One more of these. We do have a King's Court Pack I want to open up today. I'm pretty excited because we could get, you know, the God cards in there. You could get some nice collector rares. We get that Lighting Storm Collector Rare, which just got reprinted in Rarity Collection. Hierotic Seal. We have Arc Brave Dragon. Meta Falls Ori Kalkos. Not Ori Kalkos. Just Ori Kalk. Fogblade. And Starry Night Shriver of Lonely. Oh, no. Not Ori Luckin' Paul. King's Court. First dead. Lot of potential in these packs. I don't know the Pack Tricks. I don't think there is a Pack Trick on this. Pendulum Transfer, which is always really nice. Pot of Awesome. Wine of Barsons in Mayo. Eternal Bond. Infinite Cards. The Warrior Returning Alive. And Hyper Galaxy. Could be a collector. I remember pulling this one. Not a very good one. And that's just a super version. Anyway. All right. We're doing fine, I guess. Fine is definitely the word I would use. We're doing fine. We're looking for better than fine. Gigantus. We have Gear Town. Come on. Mine Mole. The Underminer. Emergency Teleport. That's a good card. We will take that. And Time Thief Adjuster. Also a pretty decent card. I think I might have gone under a dollar, but I know E-Tellies are around two to three bucks. That's pretty solid. Or at least it used to be. What's up next? Mist Valley Baby Rock. We have Meta Falls Counter. Time Thief Retrograde. Sun Vine Shrine. The Shrine is Sun Vine. And will it be Sun Vine Shrine? The Ghost Rare is mine. No. Sun Avalon. Dry Nome. I feel like ever since people told me that Dryas was like a $6 card, we have not pulled one. Out of like 30 packs. So maybe this will be where we pulled the Dryas. Last pack, Magic for me. And then we had to Zax 10. We have Dark Requiem. XC's Dragoon. Cosmo Tin Can. R2-D2. Time Thief Hack. Hyretic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis. And finally, will this be the Dark Magician we've been searching for for very long? This is a really cool holo pattern. And he's not really a pattern, but just holo. And yeah, this is not a Ghost Rare. All right, it's time for the real part of the video. It's time for Zack to come in clutch. Well, I'm going to come in clutch for Zack. We already came in clutch by getting this 10. Now it's my turn. He made his move. Now we make ours. That's not a good Yami voice. Got to work on my Yami voice for sure. Okay. Obnautics Celtic Guardian. Here we go. We have. Okay. All right. Good packs inside. Obviously we know these are amazing packs inside. I didn't read them this time, but really incredible pack selection in these 2004 10s. Obnoxious. Let's try to be really careful getting this thing out. I think last time we chunked it by accident. They're really hard to not like pop open really quickly. Okay. Nice. That went well. All right. Now that we got that, get asleep before I slide this out. Okay. Flip that over. Okay. Looks. Oh no. Is that a scratch? You guys see that? It's not really a scratch.  See the front. Front looks. Okay. Really pretty card here. I'm not just Celtic Guardian. It's kind of sick. It's definitely obnoxious though.  So it can be difficult to out. Corner there is a little ding. So this is not going to be the perfect promo, but it is really pretty if you just look at it. I mean, that's a nice card. Really nice card. Obnoxious Celtic Guardian. Okay. Five packs inside. Let's get. Okay. Come on, Fronic Guardian. You got to come out too. All right. Let's close this tin up and let's get to open in. We have some pretty nice packs inside, including Ancient Sanctuary, Dark Crisis, Vagic Gas, Magician's Force, and Fronic Guardian. So the normal order I do is this, because I think this is the right order for excitement. Start off with Ancient Sanctuary. Usually the least exciting, but there are some cool cards like Enemy Controller. We've got the Zaborge, the Thunder Monarch. We've got Blue Eyes, Twin Burst Dragon. No, I'm just kidding. Burst Stream of Destruction and Dark Magic Attack. Those are some of my favorites. Arch Lord Zorado is also in here. Back cards dinged. Back cards a little dinged. Hopefully if it's a foil, it's not dinged. Delta Attacker. We can get Nine to Salient in here as a common. It's pretty good as well. Element Statue of Disaster. Fiend's Scorpion. Labyrinth of Nightmare. We will not be opening that in this video, unfortunately. It's a fun set. Backfire. Oh no. Is this going to backfire? We really hope not for Zac. Three Humplacuda. That is a thirsty camel right there. Look at him. He's a poor guy.  He came. What is he wearing? Is he wearing like a blindfold or something?   Looks like what he's wearing out there. That's even hotter, man. Earthquake. We have a Piranha Army. And finally we have an Avatar of the Pot. One of the weirdest rares ever made. Send one pot of greed from your hand of the graveyard and draw three cards from your deck. Just ridiculous. First of all, unplayable with the effect because there's no pot of greed that exists right now. But you could draw three. I mean, it's not really a draw three though. You know, it's the same. I guess it's like you're adding one card, but you have to discard the pot of greed. It's kind of weird. Kind of weird. I don't know if that would be worth it because then you've got to play a 1200 monster. So definitely not worth it. All right. Next up, Dark Crisis. Give us the epic Exodia Necross, please. We can do this. One, two, three, four. Exodia Necross. Zoga starting it off. Desrog Archfiend. Guardian Geist. Checkmate. Dark Scorpion, Manay the Thorn. Arsenal Robber. We've got Dark Scorpion, Gorg the Strong. Fairy of the Spring. Is that got two swords going on there? Interesting. And oh no, speaking of swords, the Wicked Blaketh Breaking Flamburg Bow. Is that the... Is she holding one of those? That looks like it. I think she's holding the Wicked Breaking Flamburg Bow in that artwork on the left. That one's like more gold. I don't know if that's a different one, but interesting. Same sword design. All right. Starting it off O for two, but that's okay because these are the real big ones. Veronica Guardian. Potential for some really nice comments, as usual. Dawn Zalug is my favorite. Ultra probably my favorite foil. Ring of Destruction is awesome too, but I think this would be lavalgolin. One, two, three, four. High hopes for this pack. We have Needle Ceiling. Let's go. Royal Keeper. Ruxen Special, almost. Pyramid Energy. Bottomless Shifting Sand. Watch out, the Shifting Sand. Not Aggression Area. That is creepy. Like what is happening in this picture? I don't even know. It's like that. That's like a face right there. Mucus Yolk. Mucus Yolk. Mucus sounds even weirder. Charm of Shabdi. We've got Pyro Clock of Destiny. It doesn't look like we got any good comments, unfortunately. Let's get a Dawn Zalug to make up for it. Curse of Royals. So we are starting it off super slow here, but okay, we can't meet his three foils.  That's going to make up for it. That's going to be something that we really want. So, IOC. Let's get something for Zach, guys. Send him some luck in the comments. We are starting it off super rough right now. We really want to get something. At least get an Ultra Rare would be awesome. Let's get an Ultra Rare. One, two, three, four. Here we go. Spatial Collapse. Ojama Yellow. Yeah, I'm sure that's what he wanted. Balloon Lazard, a burn guard. Chaos Greed. We do not have Greed here. We just want one Ultra Rare. Tower of Babel, speaking of Greed. Giga, Gaga, Gigo. Fenrir. We have a Crimson Ninja. And we have a Lakunga. This is not going well. Final Pack Magic. All right, Zach, we need something good for him. We need something good. We can't go over. We got to get something good for him. If you guys have enjoyed the video, make sure to thank Zach for allowing this to happen and making it happen. Also, don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more content like this. And if you're interested in picking anything up, check out ruxand34.com. One, two, three, four. I'm hoping we can end this with a big foil. He said he'd be okay. Dark Paladin, Break of the Magical Warrior. Those were, he'd be very happy with both of those. So, if we could get one of those to be amazing. Great Angus. Dest Dindle. Jar Robber. Union Rider.  Autonomous Action Unit. Cure you. Come on, let's get something crazy. Second Goblin. We now have how many cards? Six. Okay, one more. Formation Unit. Our final card of the video, Zach. You went with two for five last time. You're 0 for four right now. But I have high hopes. Dark Paladin or Break of the Magical Warrior. Here we go. Let's end it with something amazing. Or a Paladin of White Dragon. Ultra Rare. All right. That's pretty sick. Paladin of White Dragon. That is an absolutely amazing card. All right. So, that's one of my favorite looking cards of Magician's Force. Thank goodness we got something. 0 for five is going to feel like a bummer. So, two supers last time. One Ultra this time.  While not that playable, even back then, still very awesome. Got to get that free blue eyes out, I think is what it does. Zach, thanks again for supporting us. With two awesome videos.

Thank you very much. You're welcome. share with your on mute there we go I lost I lost connection it may help to turn off your video if you're having difficulty with your connection that's right now so that brings us to item two on our agenda tonight which is oral communications our first part of that is addition to the legions to the agenda Katie do we have any of those we did receive one additional public or one public comment on I am for being 109 Sacramento out of it from a neighbor in support of that project and I can't hear you else today yeah I've seen that hopefully everybody does she supports the debt okay any public comments now it's the time for members of the public or addressing items of concern that are not on the agenda tonight so we'll give you a little bit of time here to weigh in if you have anything to add to the meeting tonight I'm not seeing any hands right go through I can see which is commissioned comments any commissioners have any you're in no one move on the staff on it yeah I do have a few staff comments so So first, Olivia, would you mind if I wanted to introduce you to Olivia Baer, so that you can see her in your screen. Olivia Baer reached out to me during the handover and asked if we had any internships available once she was at UC Santa Barbara last year. So I had the pleasure of working with her, but she did a study remotely for the city level rise and what other communities they're doing to update their LCPs. And she put together a great paper for me just outlining where other communities are in the process, very informative, what kind, what they've been adding to their codes and what the coastal commission has had them add to their codes. We have some really great research and research paper that Olivia put together. And Olivia, this past summer, or last spring, graduated from Santa Barbara and she is a local. She was in Aptos and her family has owned a very popular business here in the city of Capitola and is very well-rooted here. And she, if I ever reached out to her when we were short staffed and said would you like another opportunity to come into our office and start helping with the day-to-day work within our office. So Olivia has been such an asset to Sean and I over the past two months, three months of this point, helping out with the day-to-day planning and admin responsibilities. And I just wanted to let you all know, introduce Olivia and let me know what she's been doing behind the scenes. She was recently offered a position in San Diego, so she will be leaving us. She'll be heading down there in January. But just, just really wanted to do my thanks for all of our work here and let you all know who's been helping us out behind the scenes. I think, I know Sean and I talked about how much we're doing this or not already. So it's just been a great asset to our team. So thank you, Olivia, and we wish you the best. She'll be here at the end of the year. Do you have anything you want to add, Olivia? No, just it's been a great experience learning attempt. So thank you. Thank you, Olivia. You've picked the second best place to the state to land. Yeah, we've had great success with interns. As Peter knows well from having Joe, his daughter Joanne was an intern here and then we've got a great planning commissioner out of that internship and she moved on to work over the hill. And then of course, John's and San's have started off as an intern and we were so lucky to be able to keep him. So that's my first update. And thank you, Olivia. She didn't have work for Rich Bruno down there? Not for Rich Bruno. He'll be closed by. Okay, just wondering. The second update I have for you tonight is last night the city council did adopt or accepted the first reading of the ordinance without outdoor dining. They took all of the dining tuition changes to the ordinance other than the locations and they kept sidewalk dining in the ordinance. So the sidewalk dining stayed in the ordinance. They allowed sidewalk dining may add a capital avenue to the list of sidewalk dining locations. And then they brought back the street dining back on Monterey Avenue and Capitola Avenue. But during their deliberations they all gave us sincere thanks to the planning commission. There were many of all the rest of your changes made it into the ordinance. They recognized the hard work and they understood they needed to do this right. And they did want to move the ordinance forward so they have something permanent hopefully this summer starting for that three year trial. So again there are things in appreciation for your hard work on that. And if you have any questions feel free to contact me and talk through any of that. And lastly the city council they updated their recently two meetings ago they updated the reimbursement policy for digital reading devices. I'm going to send that to you via email so you'll have an updated version of that and just know if you're ready. Now that we're so dependent on our technology for these meetings budget has gone up and it has a little more flexibility included. So I'll be sending that to you through email and let me know if you'd like to utilize any of those funds. So that's that for you. And with that that concludes my comments. Okay thank you Katie. That brings us to item three tonight. The approval of the minutes. We have two meetings that we have to address. I think we'll probably take them separately. The first meeting is October 7th of 2021. The minutes from that meeting is there a motion to approve any additions or corrections? I'll make a motion to approve. Anyway we have a motion. Is there a second? I'll second it. I think we have a motion and a second. The second is like Commissioner Wilk. Very the roll call please Chloe. Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Aye. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Ruth. Thank you. I think we have a motion to approve. The second meeting is from the meeting of November 4th. Is there a motion to approve those minutes? I'll move. Commissioner Wilk. I'll second. Okay. Commissioner Christensen second. May I have the roll call please again Chloe? Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Chair Ruth. The minutes are approved. That brings us to item 4 tonight the consent calendar. We have three items on the consent calendar tonight. One of them is calling for a continuation. Would there be a motion to approve or does anybody want to pull any items for discussion? If no one wants to pull anything I'll make an motion to approve it. Okay. The second to approve the consent calendar. I'll second it. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Commissioner Christensen. Aye. Commissioner Newman. Aye. Commissioner Westman. Aye. Commissioner Wilk. Chair Ruth. Okay. That brings us to item 5 our public hearings. We have two tonight. And the first public hearing is I think just an overview of the new state of California housing legislation. There seems to be a lot of likely in the community development housing work plan. Katie, is this going to be you or Sean? This is actually my contributions to Layla. Layla. Okay. Yeah. From our attorney's office. Layla's we give an update of the recent legislation. And I will tune in at the end so you can find a lot of work fun. Okay. Layla. Hi. Good evening. Chair Ruth. Commissioner. Staff. Pleasure to see you all over Zoom that week. My name is Layla. I'm the senior associate with the state of California housing. So we have a pleasure working with Sam Butler on a regular basis. We may know. I'm going to be sharing my screen right now. But I think it looks like a muster who's sharing right now. But okay. I should be able to see that. And then we'll go to the presentation. Okay. Can everyone see the presentation? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Wonderful. Okay. So Layla. Yeah. Before you start. I just want to make it clear. I think there is a few. That everything that was on the consent calendar. So if you have an item on consent to the task, but you want them to continue to attend the meeting. Thank you. There's been a lot of activity. State web is like, sure. This year has been no exception. Okay. So I love, yeah. Before you start. I just want to make it clear. I think there is a few. That everything that was on the consent calendar. I saw me. They're the public that everything that was on consent. Pass this evening. So if you have an item on consent to the task, but you'll come to continue. To attend the meeting. So thank you. Every year. Has been no exception. Particularly related to housing in California. Which continues to be sort of the evergreen. Popular topics. Past new exciting and sometimes. Nerve-wracking legislation. So tonight we're going to just be talking about. of housing legislation. First we'll talk about SC-9 which involves the ministerial approval of two units and lots with development. There is also some streamlining updates from SC-8 and SC-10 and then lastly the bill that kind of does a little bit with our housing element in terms of our timeline and things that we need to look out for, that's 80-13-98. So starting off with this year's most popular topic of discussion that we've related to housing is SC-9 which is the two units and lots with legislation. And what SC-9 does essentially is it provides for the ministerial approval of up to two units on a single lot. And in addition the other part of SC-9 also allows for the creation of two lots essentially lots with. Now this has created whatever panic in a lot of places throughout the state you know thinking about is this the end of you know single-family housing, what does this mean, how is this implemented. And yes it is much of an effect anticipating right now. However and so one of the big reasons for that is currently abstracted SC-9 would apply for example in Capitola to the R1 zone only. And this is because the current interpretation of SC-9 and I should frame this with a slight caveat that could be subject to change pending updated HGC update or guidelines, HGD guidelines. But as of now at least the SC-9 will only apply to zones that are currently designated for single-family and that do not currently have or allow for multiple family settlements. So again in Capitola we're just talking about the R1 zone. Now we still can apply also even though they're the ministerial approval process that doesn't eliminate the possibility of applying local development standards and even include setbacks of up to four teams up to one parking space per unit. Although zero parking would be allowed or would be allowed to be required if you're near major transit. We must of course require that rental for longer than 30 days and we have to allow for a minimum of 800 square feet. The city can't deny SC-9 project if the project would have a specific adverse impact on health and safety or the physical environment and that there's no reasonable feasible way to kind of mitigate those impacts. So SC-9 is all about objective standards. What does an objective standard mean? Well basically it means that you have no personal or subjective judgment by public official and that it's uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark of criterion available and knowable by the development applicant, local climate and the public official. And that's basically a long-winded way of describing the checks. So one way could be a thing about effective standards or ministerial approval process is whether or not you can have a checklist and if folks need that checklist then you know the project gets approved and if they don't then they don't. So some examples of effective standards include height, setbacks, walk coverage, percentage of open space, empty, car, etc. When we look at we can ask ourselves you know how would a new single-family home which requires a design permit from the planning commission be reviewed in the new year because that's kind of what we're looking at primarily is our one-zone power single-family home is going to be looked at under SC-9. Well SC-9 allows for up to two homes per lot. It doesn't specify that there has to be two. So potentially none home would also be subject to the ministerial approval of SC-9. Therefore we only need to find objective development and design standards, again height, setbacks, floor area ratio, one parking space per unit and we would not be able to apply discretionary criteria which is most of our current design permit criteria. Things like protecting privacy or being compatible with the neighborhood look and feel. So again we want to ensure that we are applying an effective checklist to these applications as opposed to qualitative standards. Some examples of standards that are found that have been found by the courts to not be effective. Things like special care shall be taken to avoid obstructing leaves. Produce high quality authentic design reflect the look and feel of the community or even the map for the vision map app writing that the site is not physically suitable for the proposed development. Anything that requires that kind of judgment or has that kind of fuzzy language that requires a judgment call or discretion takes you out of objectiveness. Some additional SC-9 requirements that are specific to the lots with aspects and I can kind of quickly go through them and talk about them more in detail if you'd like. Essentially the lots have to be roughly equal size. You can have a giant block on one side and a small angle corner on the other and no smaller than 1200 square feet. Other than the quality of requirements in the subdivision map app, it doesn't need to comply with all of the requirements. And it requires that the standards imposed can't preclude the construction of two units on IA with split parcels or results in an unit size of less than 800 square feet. Allow the requirement. That's going to put the requirement for each minute and right away. So for example, if you have a black block, we can require access to the house in the back or the lot in the back. It requires owner occupancy of one unit for a minimum of three years from the date of approval and this is achieved by an affidavit. And it also prohibits more than two units on parcels that are already subdivided through an urban lot split. So just junior eight, eight years, junior eight years and pregnant 12 units. So I think there was one concern at one point where that folks would, you know, build a second unit, do a lot split, throw a couple of 80 years and you would have, you know, a city essentially. Well each city one lot, but that's not really that necessary. And then lastly, adopting an S&I local ordinance which is defiable is exempt from SIPA. So we are recommending that we go ahead and update the municipal code to implement S&I locally. This will allow us to implement our own application review process as well as objective development and sign standards that fit with the CDH and our goals. So next we'll move on to SPA. SPA essentially extends the time of the housing crisis act for SB 330 from 2025 to 2030, so five year extension. It's also specific to the topic of permit streamlining as related to affordable housing projects. So it allows for preliminary review and also your maximum of five hearings on those affordable housing projects. It also modifies the real patient assistance requirements to help ensure that if you have affordable housing you're replacing it and also that there's a right of first refusal for folks who have been displaced by new construction. And it also updates some of the definitions. We don't have to necessarily go into that tonight. We don't need to really do any municipal updates for SPA. There will be quality increased tracking of development applications to make sure that we're complying with the streamlining and the extended timing. And that's SP10. So these are again streamlined opportunities and this is time for upstopping. So SP9 is a completely permissive bill. So it allows the city to adopt an ordinance authorizing housing development projects with 10 or fewer units per parcel in transit-reached areas or urban and rural sites. And it essentially means it's easier for cities to up-zone and to increase density in certain areas provided that those areas match the requirements of the legislation, which includes that the parcel cannot be located in a very high-fire hazard, severity them, or if they were subject to a border restriction, that would mean open space, parks, recreational purposes. And one of the, you know, so the city council or the city of Catatola has the option of creating such an up-downing ordinance to kind of streamline this process. And then lastly, we'll talk about 18, 19, 18, which goes a little bit into the housing development and one of our favorite topics, where we met them first. Laila? Yeah. Before you go on, I was just going to advise you at the top of your screen where it says display settings. Yeah. I think if you click on that there might be an option to do that. Okay. Or? Yeah. Yeah. And then it should, right now I'll show you notes. So try to look at it and see if that will, there you go. Much better. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Okay. So we know Rina is all about identifying housing sites or like two-company housing. And this is all part of our housing element update. And essentially, if we cannot identify enough sites to accommodate women, then we have to use our housing element to identify specific sites for rezoning in order to create those housing opportunities to satisfy their main obligation. So the necessary rezoning needs to be done within three years, which is faster than normal, usually five to six years. So it can be up to four years if you have certain findings that are needed. And the time to reduce to one year is the housing element is about the rate or not served at on time. So women sites must allow housing development with 20% lower income only as a permitted use. There's no SQL review for that. And again, limited to those effective design sliders. So in terms of next steps, we're going to be, in case I'm going to talk a little bit more about this in detail, but we'll be continuing to work on updating the housing element to achieve HCB certification by December 2023. And we'll be to ensure that we have the council adoption of the housing element within 120 days of the December 31, 2023 deadline, or we run into the rezoning issues. So yeah, just to conclude, if you haven't already noticed, there's that length of overarching trends, which are moving heavily towards family, multi-family residential friendly legislation. And this is only expected to increase over the next several years. The inventory of housing needs to be not meeting the demand. And so there will probably continue to be these movements toward, you know, making it easier or even forcing local jurisdictions to allow for these greater density development projects. And, you know, it kind of goes into affordability with close supply of high demand. Housing prices are pretty high. It goes to inventory and it goes to equity as in terms of, you know, focusing on both access. And that kind of wraps up my portion of the presentation. And then Katie, I'll turn it over to you. Great. Can you go to the next slide, please? Yes. I think there's a timeline. There's two slides. Okay. So first I just want to thank you, Leila, for your presentation. Right after we adopt a new zoning code, you know what comes next, right? State having us through again. So we'll be jumping into this in the new year. And I just wanted to also update you with the discussion on the housing element. We were expecting our rena numbers to go up by the read of four times their current amount. So at a little over, I think we're at 160 more or less. I was expecting the numbers to come in somewhere between 450 and 600 in the new update. At the last AMBAG meeting that we had early this week, the previous meeting, the capital, the number was a little over 700. And at the last meeting, as we're looking at, typically we looked at jobs and transit, the new requirements that we're now looking at resiliency. So wildfire areas, but it's essential to wildfire will get less and sea level rise. So that helps capital a little bit being down the number. But we're also looking at equity. And equity is a large number within the current calculations. And less diverse cities will, their numbers will go up in terms of AMBAG. So or in terms of rena numbers. So currently with draft calculations, which the board will be looking at next week, we're now at 1,090 units of new capital. So there's more work to be done. They, in this consideration, they haven't really taken into consideration how small the city of capital is compared to our other jurisdictions. I expect that the number will decrease. But just that we've got our work cut out for us. And that's why I wanted to bring this forward so that nobody's surprised what we'll be putting on the RFP for the housing element update in January. So the housing element update will go through the next two years. We have to have it in for each city review by the fourth quarter of 2023. We're currently working on the multi-family objective standards, bed nobles under contract for that. But at the same time, we're going to work with our city attorney to draft out the single family effective standards for SB 9 to get that place as soon as possible. So I'm going to show you this timeline. And that concludes our presentation. I wanted to have Layla here for any specific questions you may have about the new legislation. I'm sure there may be a lot of them. Does anyone like to address the question to Layla? No, this is a question. Well, I've got a question. You talked about which one it was at the Chenmei for the up-doning. And I'm trying to imagine, so there's this mall development thing where they were going to have 600 units. And there was some pushback on that. So we could zone that and say, okay, let's just put all of our re-enact units like in that location. And that would cover it. We could just fix it off and say, this is where we're going to cover this. So within the rena numbers, it's not just market rate units. It's broken down between very low, low, moderate and above moderate. So if we were to say that a lot of rena numbers were going to come from the mall development, then all of those units would have to be affordable if they were going to take that whole burden. So currently, I think with the mall development as proposed, it would have been about a little over, I think close to 100 units would have had more than 15% of the overall total. It doesn't get us anywhere close. So we'll never get close. I had a question. No, Mr. Layla, I seem to remember reading, it might have been SB 9, but I'm not sure that there was some distinction drawn between cities of less than 50,000 and cities of more than 50,000 in terms of application of the statute. In one of the earlier jobs, SB 9 applies to all cities as well as urbanized counties. Urbanized means sort of a basic application for the census. So it's definitely all cities. Okay, I'll have to go back ahead again. That was in our packet somewhere, but I don't recall. Any other questions? I have a question. In talking about the mall project, which is probably the biggest area where housing is going to be provided in Capitola, one of the real concerns up there is current traffic and the additional traffic that will be provided by this new development. So are you saying that there is no way any longer to require the development to deal with all of those? I heard most of the question. I can wait to know. Basically, I'm asking, can we require traffic improvements of the developer in areas where the development's going in and it's going to have a significant traffic impact? Or is that taken off the table now? Well, if the project does fall under SB 9, which is a question in that itself, then no, we would not be able to implement these kind of discretionary traffic analyses. But we would first have to figure out if we're even dealing with an SB 9 project at all. Anyway, I'm not sure the current zoning or the zoning will be a little project. So it's regional commercial and so the SB 9 would not apply in our, because it will only apply to our R1 parcels. And the other thing that in the review of the objective standards, it only applies when somebody brings in a complete new unit. So it will not affect how we look at additions to homes, but it will affect any new units that come in or these subdivision applications for two months. Okay, Katie, I have a question on the up zoning to the 10 units per parcel. Is there a definition as to how large that parcel has to be? Who determines that? Well, Latino, there is a requirement for size on SB 10. I'll talk to my head, but I can double off child. That would probably all be hammered out in an ordinance that would be adopted. And I'm sure we have to specify, you know, then on the off side of this as well. Not to double type of SB 9 itself identified, and on the off side, I can get that. That's all in turn. The city does not have to follow SB 10. It just gives us the ability to adopt that ordinance, if you'd like, so it's not required. Any other questions for Layla while we're here? There is none. Thank you, Layla, so much for the presentation. Yes, thank you, Layla. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Commissioner. It's been a pleasure. Let me have, again, any other questions, my email along the iTunes. Okay, thank you. Thank you. It brings us to item B under public hearings tonight, which is the Prototype ADU program. Okay, we've got our workbench and better designs team back, and I'm going to let them do introductions of like y'all to meet them. And then I think Omar is going to be the best team. Hi, everyone. Great to be back. I'll introduce myself. I'm Omar. I'm an architect at workbench, and I'll let the rest of the team introduce themselves now. Alexander, do you want to next? Hi, everyone. I'm Alexander. I'm working with Omar on the design portion of the project. Hi, this is Camille Keenan. I'm the founder of Workbench and not really doing a lot, just letting out doing that. Omar is doing really excellent work, providing feedback. And hi, guys. I'm Sam Sutter. I'm founder of Meta Urban Design, and I'm a sub consultant to Workbench, and I'm dealing with the informational materials, which I'll talk more about in a moment. Great. So that is the team, and I'm going to share my screen now. They're with me for a second here. And if you could just let me know with a thumbs up if you can see my screen. So, it's a theater. Yeah, I'm having some flickering here. Hang on one second. There it is. You want to see my screen now? It says you can start it. Yeah, here we go. There's a little lag maybe. There it is. Hopefully this works then. So, Omar, I'm only seeing pieces. Are you guys seeing that too? Yeah. It's just only the lower right hand corner. I could try to share it from my computer if you'd like. Omar, I have it. Sure. Let's try. Okay, great. Thank you so much, Katie. If you want to go ahead and jump ahead a few slides. And so, today we're going to talk about the schematic design package we completed for the Capital AAU program. And so, if you want to skip ahead to one more slide there, perfect. So, last time we met, we gave a little presentation about our process leading up to what you're seeing on the screen right now, which is the design for three unit types, which is a studio, a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom plus, sometimes called a two-bedroom, sort of a flexible unit on the end there. And you'll notice that we ended up three versions of the studio, a small, medium, and large. And this was based on work with city planners, Katie specifically, to identify buildable lot sizes, where we were trying to think of how to make these units most adaptable to most lots in Capital AAU. And so, we presented these four plans last time, which is the five four plans. And we had identified three architectural styles, which is the craftsman, the farmhouse, and the beach bungalow. And last time, we had shared that exterior design development for the one-bedroom unit. And since then, we've gone through and completed the exercise for all the four plans you're seeing on the screen now. So we'll walk through that briefly and talk about some of the final tweaks we've made. You want to go to the next slide? Perfect. So this is the studio small. This is the smallest unit that we have. It is 10 feet wide by 25 feet, and it should fit on the majority of Capital Alots that could have an AAU in their backyard. On the, you'll see when you enter in the center of the unit, there is no circulation space. It is the most efficient, tightest plan of all. There is a bed area on the right with a full wall, a full height storage, a small kitchenette directly in front of the door, and a bathroom, a full bathroom, on the left side. For this unit, we're proposing that there is lofted storage over the bathroom area. And then you'll see on the left-hand side of the slide, the three architectural styles, which is the craftsman, the farmhouse, and the beach bungalow. Keep in mind, we're just showing exterior design notions on this. When people select these, they can obviously change the side interior. They can select colors that match their unit design and desires. And so these are just sort of inspirational images of the three styles that will be provided by elevations. The studio medium is slightly larger, the 12 by 25. There is an added washer dryer at the bottom left-hand corner there. And you'll notice just a slightly larger, more local unit for lots that are able to accommodate it. And then the same thing again, the exterior designs are almost exactly the same on all of these studios, but just showing the sort of the fact that there's a material and how you can achieve these different styles very minimal changes to the actual building. And then the studio large is the largest of the studios. It's a 12 foot by 32 foot. In this one, we're able to actually accommodate a living space adjacent to that bed area. Could be a dining space, a little bit more flexible on a studio unit. The next one is a one bedroom. This is a true one bedroom with a dedicated built-in closet, space for a wash dryer, and a full bathroom. There's a full-sized kitchen in this one with additional full head storage and a living space that you enter off of a door that is sort of tucked around the corner gives surprises to the AMU. Again, we're proposing to lock the storage over the bathroom and a closet area of this unit. And you can see that the exterior design is a little bit more articulated on this one. It really does feel like a small home. So we're really excited about how this one turned out. And you can see some of the differences between the different exterior styles more magnified in these larger units. And then the last one is the one bedroom plus, sometimes called the two bedroom. In this one, we're proposing sort of a flexible, longer living kitchen bar that could be used as an additional bedroom or could just be a larger living space for a more flexible, larger living room, a dedicated dining room, perhaps a work space. Really the idea here is to give people and home owners the opportunity for maximum flexibility. And so now Alexander is going to talk a little bit about what we're starting to do next and how we're organizing our drawing sets moving forward. Great, thank you. I just want to quickly update everyone on where we are at our work in this Mac design phase. And along with doing all the work on the exteriors that Omar just spoke to, we're also starting to formulate our drawing set. And do that in a way that is going to be the most user friendly for homeowners that are taking advantage of the program. So what you're looking at here is kind of a template for what we're working on for the main first use, which are all the project information for homeowners. And the idea will be that a homeowner can take this first sheet, decide what style of ADU they want, decide what size of ADU they want, check the box. The box will say, hey, if you want to let the studios each bungalow, you're going to use sheet XYZ. They'll put in their project information and just as it's in the Mac, and then this is all information that the building department needs in order to review. The other thing we're working on is we've put together beginnings of each architectural set. So this will be the first page and we do have it, we don't have all of them to show you, it's for time, but we've done this for every side option and exterior style starting together architectural sheets with exterior elevations in the next phase of the project. All right, so for the inspirational materials again that's where my piece comes in. I want to explain how that fits with the larger Capitola ADU program. And so with the informational materials we wanted to help residents, property owners understand what kinds of ADUs they can build, what lots, what resources are available. So this is probably a recap for a lot of you, but there are three levels of review for ADUs. The first layer, that's where workbench's pre-design plans come in. Those are all the ADUs under that threshold at 800 square feet. Beyond that, there's the second layer of review that's also administrative and then there's the third level which you guys are the experts on. So part of what the inspirational materials will do is to just explain those different buckets of review and explain the different criteria to help property owners understand which level of review they want to pursue and the rationale behind the different layers. So for instance, if they're just dealing with the size requirements and they can understand the difference between the first layer review, second layer review, if they're degrading from the standards and that's where they'll have to go and get planning commission review. So one of the major intentions behind the informational materials is just to explain that process and the difference kind of choose your own adventure review process that property owners can go down. The second major intention of these informational materials is to just illustrate these standards. So even as I was explaining a different level of review, I was getting lost in all the different requirements. So a picture of this worth is thousand words. That's really my expertise. As a planner and a landscape architect, I really lost illustrating regulations. So that's part of what I'm bringing to this team is making sure that as we're explaining the different levels of review, we're also explaining what the standards are intending to support in the built environment. So you don't need an attorney or a planning degree to understand the standards. It could be really user friendly and engaging. And so the graph on the right is an example of work that I'm doing for Milpitas right now. Very similar process, but I'll work closely with workbench. So the whole package of materials will have a consistent look and feel and will definitely be in the same graphic vocabulary. But that will be the next stage of this project. And I'm really excited to build off of more questions, great plans and help you guys round out this ADU program. Great. And so for next steps for us, our plan is to be complete with our work in Q1 of next year. And then our next checkpoint will be to go through the building plan review, where each of these drawing sets is reviewed by a planning planner. And then hopefully we'll have a lovely functioning program for Capitola. I think that's all we've got, Katie. Yeah, thank you. So yes, the next steps will be that the plans will be reviewed by our building department. And I just wanted to make sure that there's really no action that the planning person needs to take on this item, that just that they've developed the plans that you're expecting based on the last review and just to get your blessing to continue on. I think you're doing a really, really good job on quarantine. It looks really nice. Could I have a question? Sure. Well, yes. Thank you, Commissioner Ruth. So I was trying to imagine being an applicant about coming into the staff desk there and say, hey, I mentioned the EU, I want to look at this for sure. And the first question that would come to my mind after I got kind of excited about it, I said, well, do you have a real idea of how much each of these are going to cost? Is there any thought of somehow our lending, the construction costs based on 2021 construction costs? These will take whatever. Again, I think that that kind of thing would be really helpful, even if it was just a rough order of magnitude kind of thing. Is there any thought about providing that kind of information, Kay? You know, I don't think we have that included in our scope, but I think it's a great idea. Omar, is that something that is easily done within the workbench team, or is that... I'll actually let you really speak to that. We could definitely do that, Kay. I don't know if our fee on this one has enough in it, but if we get to the end and we have enough time left, I'd be happy to help with that. Yeah, construction pricing is not pretty right now, so hopefully it would change a lot in 2023 in the downward direction. So, you know, we could provide some pricing now and it will inevitably change, but we could at least give people some, you know, kind of ballpark figures. I think we look mad. So, Kay, I'm happy to touch you exactly on the project in the future. Okay, thank you. Yeah, I know it's not in our current scope, but I think it's a great idea. Thank you. Okay, any other questions? Very nothing, we'll move on. Thank you again, Omar, and your team. Thank you. Thank you all. Yeah, thanks. Great. Thank you. Hey, Kay, do you have a director's report for us? I do not have a director's report for you. This was at tonight. Any commission communications? Mr. Newman. Yeah, I want to get back to the date of the hearing here. The reason I knew that the date was incorrect when I was put up on the screen is because today's date is what's known as a polyndrome, 12-0-2-2-0-2-1. The forwards and backwards are the same. So that's important for the commission to know. Yeah, thank you for that. Okay, good. Thank you. Any other questions or concerns, communications? Very none, and we'll adjourn to our January meeting. Oh, you've picked a new chairman at that time, chairperson. And happy holidays, everyone. Have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you. Have a great holiday. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good holiday.
