Hi. Mr. McDowell. Yes Mr. Badura. Hi. Mr. Vine. Hi. Mr. David. Hi. Mayor Benjamin. Hi. Item 45 resolution number R 2019 090 authorizing the city manager to execute the amendment to the Richland sewer agreement and satellite sewer service agreement between the city of Columbia and Discussion saying none of the previous question Clark Colorado I Ordinance is second reading item 46 ordinance number 2019 056 amending the 1998 code of ordinances of the city of Columbia, South Carolina chapter 14 offenses and miscellaneous provisions to add Article 12 extreme risk protection Mayor I have I want to move with an amendment I want to amend section 14 dash 353 under definitions. It's just a verbally amend The sentences is court shall mean municipal court amended to read court shall meet court shall mean a court of competent jurisdiction And I would so move Mr. Dowell as amended second by mr. Davis There's public here.  Could you read that just one more time? It's just under definitions We have municipal court and for clarity it actually should say a court of competent jurisdiction Thank you This is not a public hearing. You want to speak on extreme risk protection orders as well? That actually actually there are a few more than three people who signed it wouldn't skip but but no one no one spoke up But I did see about six people actually signed up to speak on the hate intimidation Ordinance. Are you also hoping to speak on on the extreme risk protection orders? Okay, we're still number 46, okay The ordinance as amended we'll move the previous question the park Colorado Yes As a matter of course This is not the time for public input, but I do want to make make it clear that Anyone has the opportunity to speak and I want to recognize the citizens who signed up to speak as opposed to taking up after We've acted First person who signed up is a Dana Smith. I'm sorry. I can't read this Dana Smith. Please. Thank you I know I spoke to you last month, so I'm not gonna Re-reiterate what I said last month But just the need for this to be inclusive because as some individuals did speak the state is not moving this and with the city moving forward and also with the time that It takes for a crime to be passed to the FBI things can happen But if local law enforcement gets involved from the beginning and can be involved then it can prevent evidence from being lost a case becoming cold and Maybe finding the individuals because I did mention the four individuals that have been killed in the past 18 months and The perpetrators of those crimes and three of those are unknown still to this day And a lot of it the first one in Shara that happened was because it took a long time for the FBI to get on Inside and get involved, but if the city police can get involved immediately And that can make all the difference in the world for finding out who these perpetrators are So thank you and appreciate the time. Thank you so much miss Smith. Thank you. I miss Steve LeFemmon My name is Steve LeFemmon I'm speaking in opposition to the proposed hate speech ordinance as a remedy to the plague of gun violence in Colombia Instead I would like to address the gun violence problem in Colombia From Christian moral and spiritual state perspective. I hope you will be willing to consider Christian input to this problem My biblical perspective Whether you yourself or a Bible-believing Christian or not. This is my view first the moral perspective More than one public figure has expressed grief over the loss of respect for the sanctity of human life evidenced by gun violence especially when committed by young people As a society, we have greatly lost respect for the image of God in each and every person put there by God the Creator We adults should not be surprised that multiple generations of youth are Resorting to violence to solve their problems with others The Bible says God is not mocked that we reap what we sow For the last 46 plus years we have sown violence into multiple generations We have killed in America over 61 reported 61 million reported unborn children Inside the wombs of their mothers Where South Carolina that number is over 397,000 We have taught children growing up that it is okay to kill those who are unwanted And now we are reaping the bad fruit of what we have sown Abortion quote-unquote that is violence against children while in the womb of their mothers I believe is the root cause of the violence that we see coming out of these younger generations From a spiritual perspective the same I believe there's a connection between the shedding of innocent blood in the womb and the shedding of innocent blood on the streets Etc by gun violence The Bible says in Hosea 4-2 quote blood toucheth blood or in other words bloodshed follows bloodshed The bloodshed in the womb is being followed by bloodshed on the streets Lastly God says to execute the prophet in chapter 35 verse 6 Therefore as I live sayeth the Lord God I will prepare thee unto blood and blood shall pursue thee Since thou hast not hated blood Even blood shall pursue thee Council members blood is pursuing us here in Columbia and in Richland County Richland County leads all 46 counties in the state in the number of mothers who are paying to have their unborn children destroyed by abortion Dehex vital and morbidity statistics for 2016 and 2017 show Richland County with approximately 1,400 out of the 10,000 plus abortions committed upon South Carolina mothers or about 13 percent of the state total each year May I finish the last sentence please? So my exhortation and request to each of you and to law enforcement leaders is if you want to stop the plague of gun violence on the streets and Speak up and do what you can to oppose the violence perpetrated against the unborn right here in Columbia Especially at the Planned Parenthood abortion center in Middleburg Park Thank you. Thank you for being here. Mr. LeFemin. Thank you. Mr. Charlie Davis Thank y'all for letting me. Mr. Mayer. It's good to see you again. Yes, sir and all of you Let me I'm just gonna read this so I don't lose time And I appreciate what you do every day. I know it's hard But I but I would like to read this and it says there are good laws and bad laws hate crime and or intimidation laws or criminal penalty Enhancement laws or bad laws and you would say why? Isn't hate a bad thing couldn't anyone oppose could anyone oppose hate laws? Good laws are designed. However to punish wrongdoing or action hate crime laws are designed to punish intent or thought and Only God can determine as he alone knows what the intent of a person was when he actually committed a crime it also leads to Government selecting special groups to get special treatment Why should not everyone get the same special treatment not just to select few based on someone's idea of who deserves this extra special protection Crime is a crime regardless of what motivated it and it should be punished accordingly to the full extent of the law the American Forensic Psychologist Karen Franklin said that laws to punish people who commit so-called hate crimes May not be the best remedy for preventing them because the threat of punishment does not actually deter such criminal acts None of the mass killings the ones at the Emanuel Church the ones that El Paso the one at Dayton one of the gay nightclub the numerous school shootings none of these mass killings Which have occurred were stopped due to the currently existing hate crimes bill passed in 2009 Nor will the bill proposed by our city council have that same Effect because it is modeled exactly after the president's bill that was passed in 2009 I'm not sure and I hope this isn't the case that the city council appears to be passing laws Just as reactionary virtue signaling so it can be said we did something and that we look good Defining crimes is being committed by one group and against another rather than as an individual against society Can also cause a sense of persecution inside a backlash Leading to an increase in crime of retaliation that has happened many times All law proceeds from God He gave a humanity rules to live by and if followed will lead to humanity flourishing and happy God created all people in his image male and female There's no distinction in the value of one person of another This bill is flawed in that it seeks to elevate the value of one group over another I The biggest thing I would say is Tony Perkins. He was a he's a Writer he wrote an article from September 9th The missing component to this discussion is the impact of the moral vacuum Created by eliminating virtue faith and civility from the public square new gun laws will never achieve what a commitment to the Golden Rule can The problem is not the absence of laws. It's the absence of morality We all want to disarm hate, but that's impossible without embracing truth first Problem as a heart problem, and it's not a gun problem So I understand that you're trying to do something good, but I don't think it's gonna be effective because it's already not been effective Then we recognize the fact we we did have an opportunity to meet after the last meeting and spend some quality time with mr. Davis and minister friend of his and Had the opportunity to have a good respectful meeting and agree to disagree But but but I appreciate the time and the discourse and the follow-up Mr. Charles Frick Good evening city council.  We allow our society to become a bigger more inclusive society No one should have to live in fear of because of who they are or what they look like or what they believe That they will be punished by another person just because of it This is an inclusive bill that covers everyone. So everyone has some form of protection and this hate crime ordinance Thank you. Thank you And I believe a Michael read is that correct evening evening I Appreciate your service here.  I don't ask you a question. Have you ever been mad? ever been upset Ever been frustrated had a bad day Ever said anything that you risked you had to say it or thought anything you didn't want really want to think I Think that's part of the problem with a hate crime bill is that sometimes we want to put the finger on People who are having a tough time and have struggles and dealing with these things and sometimes they come out The wrong way I deal with a lot of young people Young athletes and this kind of thing and coaching them and I know sometimes they struggle with their emotions and their anger and That's that's why I'm there is to help them with with sports activities, but There's a lot of people Who are in this community and they're diverse people diverse thoughts People sometimes don't just don't agree. They they disagree on many things But I think the hate crime law will suppress the freedom and the ability of people to express themselves and speak And I'm not talking about going out here and beating people in the head. That's not that's not speaking. That's not speech If they do that that's conduct and that's I believe that's what government as far as to regulate conduct But the intense and the thoughts of our heart Nobody can know that you know people who can look just perfectly Sane and normal and then we'd be crazy inside on the exact opposite I Deal with some some young people who may act like they are crazy, but I know they're not they're just frustrated or they're Or they having problems. So I would ask you to to please Not rush with haste into passing a hate crime law I would ask you not to do that because I think it may have Reprocussions that maybe we're not thinking about right now, and I know you all are have thought this thing very well, but I Just think that if if this thing passes that it will Suppress freedom to speak in ways that we hadn't thought about maybe and I know I've talked to some pastors And they are concerned that it will limit their ability to to preach even in their own churches if someone comes in and Wants to create a situation sure anyway, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Reed the I know the number of people see the title of a bill or read an article about a bill and Some of I'm sure read the proposed ordinance and some may not have read the proposed ordinance We're talking about when someone actually commits a crime and that crime is is Based upon your your peers or the determination of a judge Acted on based on some animus the same protections afforded to every single actor of someone who's committed a crime so I've been around again long enough as I said the last meeting to know that Good and decent people can see the same thing and see it very differently Also know that if in fact we want to be a city that extols particular values as a relation to inclusivity Then it in times like these In times like these it's so important to act and make it a clear and affirmative statement of our values And that means we're city for all people I move approval Further discussion with the previous question clerk color all Mr. Davis mayor Benjamin Thank you, and thank you everyone I know I wish I'd say there Two sides on this, but I think they're probably several different respectful opinions In the room We've made opposition clear. Thank you item 48 ordinance number 2019 063 amending chapter 14 offenses and miscellaneous provisions to add article 13 Gun-free school zones. So moved Discussion Saying none move the previous question clerk color all Mayor Benjamin at this time we would ask you open a public hearing Or item 49 council is asked to hold the final public hearing for the 2018 Consolidated annual performance and evaluation report the caper Performance review and approved submission of the 2018 final caper report along with all citizens comments received during the 30 day Comment period to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development But prior to September 30th 2019 as requested by the Community Development Department and miss I eat is here First public hearing is an August 20th 29th for as a matter of record. I would like to have Corrected to read the 29. Okay fantastic. Okay Good evening Mayor Benjamin evening members of City Council It's a pleasure to be here this evening to go over our caper our consolidated annual performance evaluation report that's due annually and The purpose of it is to report to HUD those Projects that we took on and were successful at completing during the course of the year But before I get started I would like to take a moment of privilege to recognize our current CAC members who were here if you all could please stand to be recognized Their commitment and dedication to the work that we do annually to help Determine which projects are going to be recommended to City Council for funding and I would also like to thank the Community Development staff several of them are here this evening and as I go through the PowerPoint presentation that I have for you I also want to say in advance. Thank you to all of the city departments because we had quite a year last year With some of the mandates we had from HUD and spending money We had public works the planning apartment We had CPD Code enforcement GIS was very helpful to us We also had those organizations that provided public service projects for us and our hopper hop hop Sponsors that really really help us to succeed in meeting timeliness this past year So my presentation will only take about 30 minutes. So Just kidding I'll run right through it You do have a written summary in front of you But that's okay The written summary is in front of you, but I do want to highlight those things that occurred during the year I'll be done in about five minutes So again, the purpose of the caper is to provide HUD with information on what we were actually able to Accomplish over the past fiscal year as you know, we've already had our first public comment process This is our second one and at the end of the presentation We will be asking for counsel to approve The community development department to submit this to HUD at the end of the month so some of the things that we'd like to share with you in terms of our Expendent revenue and expenditures during the course of the year is what we were able to Spend so we can show with CDBG what the revenue was for 2018 Which is 2.2 million and we actually spent 2.6 million. That's due to the fact that we had some prior year income Prior year funding plus we had our program income that we were utilizing also with the home dollars our Revenue was 617 and we were able to spend 1.4 million With hopla the revenue was 1.4 and we were able to spend 1.2 million So what is the leverage impact out of the expenditures totaling 5.3 million? We were able to leverage 9.2 with our Partners and the other resources provided through our sub recipients We have here just a abbreviated version there's more information in your packet about some of the Goals that we had during the course of the year and The number of people that we were able to serve of course We have the ones that we project when we put our information into IDIS And then we also list what we were able to accomplish our actual accomplishments during 2018 I would point out that for the public facility We can see where we estimate it that we were going to serve 1,500 people we were able to serve 5,000 based on the streets that we approve around the city Which is at three hundred and thirty three percent of what we proposed to do. We actually exceeded exceeded that In addition, I wanted to point out the great work that the CPD did with the Demolition project where we estimated that we would do 23 demolitions And we actually did 41 so We do a lot to make sure working with our partners and departments that this money can go as far as possible So again, we thank all of them for their help For our accomplishments during the year again, I can't reiterate it enough We did meet timeless and timeliness and we're going to continue to meet timeliness miss Wilson Gonna work really hard at making sure we maintain that good Place that we have currently with HUD and also We did something a little different this year with National CD week We actually had a luncheon and then a student essay contest on financial literacy and that went really well We also were the recipient again for the Johnny Sasso Community Development Award So just really briefly we want to point out some of the non entitlement programs that we were able to accomplish during the year as you know, we've been Offering the action grants to our neighborhoods. We funded 15 neighborhoods and a total of $14,000 over the past year also, we had the pilot kickoff for the Children's Savings Account and we were able to serve 13 kindergartners and provide them with $50 department deposits and match their dollars and We were able to utilize a total of $786 and those funds again are donated funds that we received from our corporate sponsors We also serve 197 City residents through our customer care change-up program Expending $57,600 in those program funds In terms of our public service activities, of course, we have the IDA account Currently, that's an eight to one match that's been increased over the years We found out that the best way to utilize these funds is to assist with education And so we're very pleased that we have 14 clients based there in their $500 deposit. They'll be able to raise They'll be able to receive $4,000 for continuing their education In terms of our bank on and our fresh start workshops. We're still doing those around the community We saw a thousand two people That were LMI and 35 were non LMI We funded the homeless no more to assist with the after-school care of 81 children And then of course with fast-forward they're continuing to do jobs training skills and certifications They serve 77 LMI individuals again, you can see With the we try to be very diverse with the United Way of the Midlands They're they were funded with money to to run a dental clinic They served 827 people and then the US to see food share served 450 LMI residents with healthy food and education So without infrastructure projects, we've already said that you know the planning department and public works did a great job We have we funded 88 88 crosswalk connectors and the Edisdale community and also road improvements in Colonial community and Booker Washington Heights as well as other street pavings This is a map now you can't read the streets, but you can you can really see where a lot of the street improvements occurred around the city and again with our Demolition and clearance and economic development. We were able to assist with funding 41 structures for demolishing and Also with our office of business opportunity We provided a hundred and forty thousand seven hundred and forty four dollars They were able to do five facade loans and also leverage seventy thousand four hundred and sixty eight dollars Really quickly here.

I was 14, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but coming from working class background I was given the message, don't get too big for your boots, so I didn't get too big for my boots and I went to work in a bank, got bored, did lots of other various different careers. But then realised it was mostly to do with working with people and I came across transactional analysis, which is the type of psychotherapy we do here. I really liked it, I did a short course in it, liked it more, all with the view of upskilling myself in the current job I was in. So after the first year I carried on and then I became a psychotherapist and sat off the other job and here I am. When I came to see Bob and he explained more about the training, it felt very good, it felt solid and trustworthy and that stood me in good stead because it has been. I did my four years of training and then after that I got what we call CTA, which is the qualification for psychotherapist and transactional analysis. That's quite a lengthy process and that took me a couple of years and then a year after that I decided to become a PTSD, which means I can also supervise and train other therapists. I haven't planned to be a specialist but I do quite a lot of couples work and I find from doing that anyway that when I'm working with individuals it's quite rare that their relationships don't come into the reason why they are attending therapy with me. I think for most of us the prospect of coming here is difficult, the prospect of change is difficult. But I find personally anyway that when we are at the point of the prospect of staying as we are becomes more painful when the prospect of change, that's the time to pick up the phone. For me a knowledge of psychotherapy is like having extra sense. It is painful at times but at times we have a laugh, it's not all doom and gloom. Sometimes it really is a lot of fun too. It's a journey, it's a great journey to take and it just increases your quality of life so it's worth it.


Na this is your first truk like your debut truk in terms of video Samadim Samadim is a feel good song, kama there was something else Like during the summertime, you just want to have a good time You wanna travel later to Mombasa, go and just chill If you have a chick, you just want to go and relax. Sure Good love So you are like just give me some time, lemme give you samadim Kwae wakuna, nika wakuna subliminal zin, and alas I'm deeper meaning, mind-sharing? Siyotu kum patia good time. Ya, ya. Good treat. I feel like I'm being naughty on TV. But I would like to thank you for the subliminal message. Now your story is, um, umetokadi, phase 4. Music in the same umemuan, ita kutua area utaji nwa naya, which is actually something very nice. Because we like to say, hashtag talent ni kazi. But ni, ni nili kwen influence in terms of music when you were coming up, when you were growing up. Okay, growing up, I used to na kusanya mami kebe na naji kretura and playing the mami kebe. I used to like instruments. Okay, mama used to tell me all the time. All kona skizatungo maivi mara mojumisha humka tumanda. Still young. Umisha humzatu kudans. Then, ifo, ifo, I started just, una performe majama, uta anima. Besiwa wakama, minapenda nga wuki ni mbia, ili yungo maflani tebu ni mbia. Just like that. You na yenda, na yenda too. I never knew that. Na, like, we all know the stories that come from the, uh, kuna, you know, I don't want to mention all of them. But kuna bad influences, let me just generalize and say that. How did you avoid that situation and try to better yourself through music? How did you avoid all that was going on, the negativity? Okay, I can say it's very hard for you to grow up in the ghetto and avoid because I was once in bad influence. You were in bad camp at some point in time.  Yabana. Asa ulike. So you think about your future.  So you're like, if you kill this talent before it's seen, it's not worth it. So what I can say is what I did was, I got out of the ghetto because I wanted to deliver. I wanted to be a mentor to the ghetto. Mentor? Ya, mentor. Kwa na mtu munya liku mentor, kwa na mtu munya liku takuayo, negative side. A mawa munya liku lady toe. Okay, it's just a very long story. But the person that I looked up onto was Aikon. Aikon? Ya. He came straight from the ghetto. So those days, I used to listen to his relics. Then you're like, this guy really came from the ghetto. The song that he sang, ghetto. So I used to like, okay, you can come from the ghetto and become someone greater. Then people will be looking up to you and say, I want to be like that person. So that's your main focus, your main goal? Ya, ya. You want to be someone people can look up to? I want the whole ghetto, when they look at me, they're like, it's not crime that you can do. You can get yourself out? Ya, you can do something else and become a better person. In terms of change, what's the biggest change that you feel needs to be implemented? Now, area kama defa is for you? Walae di kuna talent. I'm not singing musically only. Futbol, wajamwanchi za ruju, wajamwanchi za bakke.  Inna gongau kuta? Inna gongau kuta. Like, there's a guy I grew up with. I want to mention the name. He's late right now. He went to Norway. Lakini ali rudi, life kakudene kama piga. He's on my influence.  So life kakudene akunyo, Russia. So what do you have to do again? Go back to what you did. Ya na he had to be mobjustan. So when you look at those things, manze mista kiyangu hi, I don't want mine to be, my story to be like that. Kuboya liyanda mobjusti sii? Ya, it was mobjust and he was, the guy was very talented. When you watch him play football, you're like, wow. And like when a future. Ya. But he just died before he could realize it. Na future is our two wing. If little missama, it's not just in music. Sure, sure. Even whenever we say hashtag talent nikazi, we don't just refer to musicians and their music. Sure. It's all these things, football, DJing, presenting, even sound engineering, whatever it is. Kuna, different situations, not just D, phase four. Different places, what on a face, all these challenges. Ni niniu na nai neza, one motivate what, achana na nai negativiti, even before meeting a mentor such as yourself. So like, I used to remember, if I make it to that level, kili wana zafanya nili wana like MCAs. So you make youths like, something like, mutuata kwa kwa unsana talentia youths in the ghetto. Let it be something that is in the government ni kuna tum say, ane nga ghetto to ghetto kiki, mobilize ama, ama youthwa dogwa, dogwa kiyombe, e ma jama, I love what you're doing, apa kuna, academy join apa. You love doing music, ingeni apa, fanyeni, train yourself, if you like playing guitar, come this way. But doesn't if it was Sikupata. But if these things are done earlier, walae, the ghetto will be a better place for everyone. So, wana na kenyineza, change the ghetto, ama any other like, place, inafis, maybe the insecurities, violence and all that, the negativiti part, the leadership, but the MCAs onwards. Sure, sure. They just did the leadership. They just did, umtumu nyamon, ama toka from uko, I can make it to that level then, they'll be like, ah, so njama nulim, selko nga na ningiapa. Ah, dole praga dekwa TV. I'm sure people are like, ah, sen dole praga dekwa TV. You know, when I go back there, if I talk to somebody now, you'll be like, e budatibutu wambuli fanyaji na kafikapo. I'll give them my, my disciplinary keys, yani wna mombia tu, ukuli. Ivo tu. Nice, nice. Ushahan za kumenta, ama kuna plan-flani yun na takaku implement. There are people, maybe kuna yuza kuna amtumu nyakwa apu ane takaku, you know, kuchipena saide in some way or another. I just, for now I'm just playing random. I can't say I'm helping, I have people that have hold hands, but even me I'm being hold hand right now. So, yani mishikili atu, ane nili wna inspire, wna mbe bro, I like what you're doing. Because you see, this guy is from the get-up, but the way he's pushing it, you're like, I like what you're doing. Ako ni yo hasu lini kwa. Ya, ako ni yo hasu lini, ane ata kikwanda, ata kukulakini siyake. Na like kiyo kwaanza. Ya. Ane ata kukujitaftia. Uta kukujitaftia. We know there is fun in eating what is yours. Yes. I like that. So, that aside, because I like your initiative and your mindset. Me on a big thing is coming your way. Thank you. Big good things coming your way. Sure, sure. Now, nana nana na taftiafka emphasis. But hopefully before the interview can hack it. So you'll hack it. Praga de ya, kukarevu. Ya, that's shreta futa. I'm looking for emphasis. Like wheezy. Like wheezy says. Ya, ono zokuna. Wheezy please save the baby. Ya, ono zosa ya. Fizo, but I can't just say praga de. So like fizo. Mafu kwa kwa zi to kwa jina. Like it is. Anyway. Now, music wise, there's some of them at your new track, your latest track, which is actually your debut in terms of video. Sure. What's next for you? Wow. Right now, as I said, there are people who are holding me hands. And I would like to just say Simba sound records. The Vicky Pondis? Ya, Vicky Pondis and he has a young, Vicky Pondis is a father. He has a young son called Alexis on the beat. Then now we have the, you know it's just a team, you know without a team you can't make it. I have claimant there on top. So these guys are the ones that decide, they just tell me Buddha where I called. This is the term one in literature at all. You know when that kind of opportunity comes. Really?  Well you just record. I knew I always liked your Vicky Pondis. That's a good initiative. Really, that's really nice. You know he's a father. That father figure in him. So what he just told me is this year broke me and I can't do it. Then I was like what else will I do? If you want songs, I'll record. If you want me to sleep in the studio recording I'll do that. So the next plan is left for them. But I've done we are expecting something. But you're going to do your part. Ya. And I think you look like a man of your wada especially like when you find success I know you're going to hold someone's hand. And guide them through the music industry. Not just the music industry but your life. Because that's what we're missing. Big brothers and big sisters. You need to Instagram generation. People are lost. People are just selfies and No much going on. No much going on. Really. Really. Go outside. Take a walk. Meet someone like Pragadi. Pragadi. Meet someone like Pragadi. You can, you know muneza kachini wongeb yashara or something. We wish you nothing but the best. Thank you so much for coming through. I'm grateful for this opportunity to be here. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Now, before at the end of the day Lil Russian because she's about to read her DMs a machine that can be or to a slide in her DMs for the request. Kuliko na suali lewa su going to look at noliza ase. Co-relationship.  You're still on the search. Okay, this was the question anyway. Between the man and the woman who's the best liar in the relationship? It's based on we are all liars, at one point or the other we are all liars, but they say women are emotionally stronger than men. So ma namkenza kuchakitu, because ya kwelewa.  Otawa juwata kwende aji ama aji ama, anda sofanya ma CSI. So you don't even say it in the girl child. What? Nobody sides with the girl child. No, I've put my statement on, I've left that level. He's gone sitting on the fence now. He's like everyone lies. Boy child, I want to see what it is. Actually pragede me sama vizuri sana, because you know, emotionally kwa hadend, but the ears of imaginary oppression. Wait, imaginary? You're always saying the men are the ones who are breaking your hearts, but now there's evidence showing you that lies in the relationship. Yes, but it also means that it doesn't change the fact that men do hurt as in break our hearts. Now we know why, because you lie to us. So well. It depends. Maybe you started lying first. It depends who is starting to lie first in the relationship. I think it's a point of attack. It's a argument. Anyway, we finished this argument. Girl child, we are the better liars in this relationship. Yes, you are. But you can still send in your opinions on this. Kuna boy child wanyana ni it's the men or the better liars? But let us know. On Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, that's on E-Cycle Timer Y254 channel. Do you want to read something? Yes, I do have so many requests. People are sending it to me.

みなさんこんにちは私の名前は佐藤ロスベアグナナです 現在私は言語文化研究化というところの町をしておりますmy expertise is translation studies その学科でですね私はトランスレーションスターディーズという学問を教えておりますat source school of oriental and african studies we offer ma translation and phd in translation studies私の就労しているソワス school of oriental and african studiesという研究大学ではですね 終始レベルの翻訳文学そして博士レベルでのトランスレーションスターディーズのプログラムを提供しておりますwelcome to my class I hope you enjoy 今日はようこそ私のオンラインコースにいらっしゃいましたどうぞ最後まで楽しんでいってください 日本語でのおしゃべりはここまでとなりますfrom here I speak only English let's enjoy please prepare your laptop or mobile phoneso first let's talk about the definition of translation what is translation what is translationI'm asking you hmm okay I think it's not that bad but I think it's a time to look this app in the dictionaryI'm gonna give you three minutes please check it up so now I think you have a clear picture of the definition of translationthis is a typical definition of translation but English one oh I hope you do understand Japanese a bit right if not you can use the dictionaryso next please find out the translation of translation in Japanese I'm gonna give you one minutewe found in Japanese it says honnyaku right honnyaku is a translation word of translation that's the standard translationnow the question is what's the definition of honnyaku in Japanese is it exactly the same as English oneright so let's look this app in a dictionary the definition of Japanese honnyaku if you don't read JapaneseI'm sorry just wait a bit all right this is the definition of honnyaku just in case I translated it into English as welllet's compare those definitions what did you finduh-huh right okay exactly the definition does not match 100% some are overlapped some are notbut then if you have to translate translation into Japanese you have to use the word honnyakuactually this is the entrance of translation studies and this is an actually never ending question when you translatesomething into something do you know mono baker mono offers a taxonomy of equivalence she proposedfive categories such as word level combinations of words and phrases grammatical level and sowhen we think about translating English into Japanese we have to think about cultural difference as wellhow can you can we translate and this cultural context and what about different style of languagesfor example grammatical order is totally differenthuh and as we've seen already even a word level it is very difficult to find aperfect matching I'm gonna use the example from a translating lyricsdo you know this song twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you areso first let me look at a standard German translation because sometimes it'sgood to compare with some other european languages um okayso let's look at a translation of english from german right so funkeru funkeruプライナースター is almost the same but アッピーピスとみあそフェームthey change the context how about japanese version japanese standard relics what standardtranslation of this relics isso this is the translation of this japanese relics you can see that the translator has omitted a lotfor example there is no such sentence how I wonder what you are the japanese relics does not have such lineI repeat Takeshika-san has omitted from english relics when she translated this relics into japanesethe original english relics is telling a story it's actually a long long storybut if you read a japanese relics you will see it's a very simple relics anybody canremember if you sing twice three times considering that the original english song is a nursery rhyme omittingsomething is not a problem at all because it can be very simple when we think about japanese nursery rhymethe important thing is that this song is very singable singable relics so when we sing Takeshika-san's translationyou will notice that the syllables fit perfectly to the original relics means melodythe syllables is the most important thing when you translate relicsif you try to do word for word translation from english to japanese then there will be too many syllables so it's very difficult to singit's gonna be like a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu wow the mountain of the words I can't singright then you have to have less syllables means you have to omit naturallythis is because um the difference between english and japaneseso when we look at the translation of Takeshika-sanwe can see that um she made a singable translation that makes perfect sense becauseit's a song and it has to be singable and she still conveys thisatmosphere of twinkle twinkleliterster okay she's omitted a lot but so what because the content of the story is not the pointfor this song and it has to be singable so we shouldn't supply why she's omitted and how translationsounds beautifully fits into the melody the original melody i think that that was the purpose oftakeshika-san as a translator let me cite Richard Dyer Bennett he says that one the target textmust be singable otherwise any other virtues it has are meaningless two the target text must sound as ifthe music had been fitted to it even though it was actually composed to fit the source textthe lime shimmer of the original poetry must be kept because it gives shape to the phrasesand the four derivatives must be taken with the original meaning meaning when the firstthree requirements cannot otherwise be met well actually when i was young i practiced singingif i translate this lyrics into japanese in a way which is more like aso-called word-for-word translation it's going to be like thiskira kira chisana hoshi anata wa nandeshowell it is still singable i can sing it but for example anata anata is you in japanesebut actually japanese kids don't use anata much and this sounds very adult japanese languageyou can omit such as r or you she he so i think very often actually japanese kids don't sayyou or i considering that the original is a nursery rhyme it is not a big problemto omit a lot when Takeshika-san translated into japanese lyrics because it's a nursery rhyme wow15 minutes is very short i wanted to talk about translation morebut time is over so i hope we'll have another chanceif you are interested in translation studies or translation here is the place to studywe offer a made translation i understand that this is a very difficult time for all of usum everybody is rocked up今本当にあのどこの国の人たちもとても難しい状況にあると思いますそして家に閉じ込まらなければいけないということはいろいろな意味で皆さんの生活に大きな変化を来たしてると思いますso everybody has to stay at home this will massively affect your life your everyday practice our everydaypractice has to be changed let's hang in there and let's hope that soon we can meet face to face日本語にするとなかなか難しいですが頑張っていきましょうというところでしょうか頑張りすぎてもいけないわけですけれどもそしていつかこうビデオを書いてだけではなくてですね皆さんと直接お目にかかってお話できる日が来ればいいなと思っていますplease take care of yourselfどうぞお体に気をつけてhope to see you againbye


what is up everybody it is another beautiful beautiful Sunday here in Alice Springs today I've got night shift so I've got the day to do the things that I want to do for once and make the most of this good weather so funnily enough I'm actually not going to be outside but it does put you in a positive mindset from the get-go you know I do like the rain I like it when it rains here but at the end of the day you know you can't go wrong with bright blue sky every single day it just puts you puts in a great space if you can harness it for for your goals that you want to achieve that day so it puts in a good good positive mindset start the day and crack on with what needs to be done got some amino energy as per usual got great again and I am off to do some cardio so I'd love to do cardio outside in fact I hate doing cardio inside but the fact is is that it's so hot here and even with sunscreen like it's just not good for your skin like just you need a little bit for vitamin D but Alice brings son you don't need a lot so I'm going to do my cardio inside at Lasseter's they've also got free Wi-Fi so that is another bonus and that's another reason why I've been doing it inside lately but yeah in the middle of the day by at one o'clock in the afternoon which is what it is now there's no way you should be outside doing cardio so yeah so we're just going to the gym wait I weighed in this morning at 89.5 kgs so a week ago I pretty much weighed in at the same amount no so a week ago I weighed in at 90.5 but a couple of days later I was down at 89.5 so for the for the last five days I've been maintaining at around about 89.5 now I feel like my diet's been on point man there's been points where I've been hungry as fuck you know but I've just pushed through it and because at the end of the day if you want to get shredded and you want to get into that stubborn body fat that you've never got rid of before you're gonna need to feel hungry you're gonna need to feel shit at times and so you know I've been like that in the last week and my weight hasn't shifted so that's interesting although I do feel like I've tightened up a little bit and you know I'm on that brink now of getting of looking nice and lean whereas before it's basically that that pocket of fat underneath your belly button that and it goes all the way around your body so in your lower back and everything that piece of fat that no one can get rid of really changes a physique so much so it makes your weight it's basically all around your waist it's all waste so if you start losing that fat I mean your waist starts coming in your waist measurement starts coming down and then you really start getting that V taper coming out and showing your physique and I've never got to that point even though I've competed so I probably had no no business being up there on stage to be fair but I did it got the monkey off my back as they say and I'll be much more confident and more comfortable for it next time I do a show speaking of shows I did mention I was going to do a South Australian INBA mr. physique show well it turns out that on that same weekend there's another show in Melbourne on the exact same day with the INBA it's the Southern Cross titles and it offers three pro cards to the top three in each division so I mean that would probably be the show that everyone be gunning for but hell if you did I mean a third place gets you a pro card do I have physique that could take third place at the Southern Cross titles not yet but we'll see so if anything that would be the show that I'm looking at Southern Cross titles in Melbourne on the weekend of April 30th so that is a good goal to work towards and that's what I'll be gunning for so we're about to go inside get some cardio under the belt for the day started off right started off 500 calories in the negative already which is a fantastic feeling when you're trying to fucking diet as you can imagine so then after this we'll go home probably have a core nutrition meal which is around about 50 grams of protein 25 grams of carbs and about 10 grams of fat then after that I'll probably have some oats with protein powder which will be around about 50 grams of carbs 50 grams of protein 10 grams of fat and then meal number three which will be probably a pre-workout meal unless I can't wait and I just want to go back and train but I definitely don't want to train with weights right now because I haven't eaten anything and it's you know it's it's not worth it when I'm cutting I definitely sometimes I just wake up and I've got the motivation I just go and pump out a session but if I want to get the most out of every single weight training session at the moment I need some carbs in my system before I go and train otherwise I'm not going to get a pump you know I may get injured everything just feels stringy especially being natural you know you don't keep the fullness the fullness is it's extremely hard to get and unless I have a nice big cheat day my pumps aren't you know aren't anything's right home about they're pretty shit so yeah we're gonna keep going if I'm not under under 12% body fat right now I'd be pretty unhappy but I am under under 90 kgs so you know that is around about that 11 12% body fat mark for me around about 90 kgs so anything under that is sort of getting into the the single digit body fat percentages so once I start seeing 88 on the on the scales I know I'm progressing and I know that's not far away so I just got to keep trusting the process keep doing the cardio keep training hard dieting and it's gonna happen so I don't need to compete for me to get a good physique I don't need to compete so if I don't feel like I'm ready for a competition by the time which is it's only nine weeks out then I'm not gonna compete I'm actually man feeling fucking tired today but I'm gonna do this let's do this got my amino energy got my headphones get myself into my own little world as some of you guys will know it's it's pretty sweet you put put your headphones on music up walking to the gym like an animal I can kill it and the leaner you get the better you feel in the gym seriously so yeah I'm in a pretty pretty good space at the moment and hopefully it just continues alright everybody we are done with cardio that is an hour and five minutes in the books on the treadmill not my favorite but it's what you got to do around here and I'm fucking hungry a starving it's like one o'clock or two o'clock now and yeah usually my cardio would probably be like 200 300 calories but I did I think it was 600 calories so my stomach is definitely grumbling right now and I need to go and have something to eat so what I'm gonna do is show you guys exactly what I have and get there in a minute because it's just over there actually you know what guys what I'm gonna do first wipe the sweat off my face fuck it's hot you never get used to it I can't wait for winter but what I'm gonna do is use the pool that is right outside my door that I've never jumped in because it's fucking hot and they're building a gym as well in the complex so there we go guys post workouts we have one core meal being cooked right now and that is a holy meatballs meal which I'll tell you the macros got one here housemade lean meatballs with whole grain pasta 28 grams of carbs 62 grams of protein 7 grams of fat and so you can't beat that and it's absolutely delicious so we'll have one of those see how I feel after that I'll probably have a couple of serves of oats with one serve of protein powder and that will be my pre-workout meal and then after that be off to the gym but before that cook I'm going to officially test out my pool post workout whole grain pasta and meatballs it's about 3 30 in the afternoon I haven't had my pre-workout meal yet not sure whether I'm gonna have it or not because that meal with the meatballs was quite thrilling yep you know so probably been it's been about an hour and a half since I had that and before I go to the gym I'm actually gonna go to the supermarket and pick up a few things a few of my staple foods that have been with me throughout this this diet other diets we get some more frozen berries some more oats I'm gonna get some weak beaks organic weak beaks and just in case I want that for a carb source one day breakfast or pre-workout meal or whatever I'm gonna get some wraps some low-fat wraps I like to wrap up any sort of protein with a sauce and salad in a wrap that's delicious low in calories high protein yeah that's a really nice meal and what else am I gonna get egg whites whole eggs I'm gonna get an avocado or two I'm gonna get some fruit and some plums bananas sure I'm gonna get some almond milk almond and cashew milk actually because that is it's actually lowering calories and almond milk so it's fucking low it's 35 calories per 250 mils and for a you know for a nut milk that is fucking low so I'm gonna stick with that for my protein shakes my oats and things like that it's much better than water so that's what we're gonna do also I haven't been drinking diet sodas diet drinks at all which is pretty good for me I just haven't bought it so I'll probably get a box of either Pepsi Max or Coke Zero or Diet Coke so we'll see see what one's cheapest and I probably get that that's it so the groceries are done I got all those carb sources that I was talking about plus lean meats I got Greek yogurt I got egg whites I think I said that peanut butter and so the lean meats that I got was turkey turkey mince chicken breast turkey breast and like two steaks I don't really have steak too much the the red meat that I have in my diet I get from those core meals so I have beef and lamb and they're delicious so it doesn't you know I don't have to cook it and it's a good a good serving size so I do try and stick to white meats if I can so we're talking turkey most of the time chicken breast I've had way too much of so turkey's my go-to followed by probably steak to be fair so I eat red meat every day who really knows if it's how bad it's gonna be for me in the future vegan gains says I'm gonna die of coronary disease and heart disease and anyways enough of that I will be seeing you guys later on tonight after I finish my chest and shoulder session which I'm about to go and kill so we've got some more amino energy as a pre workout and then following this I'm going to have the oats and protein powder meal and then I'm gonna have another core meal which will probably be chicken meatballs red curry sauce and basmati rice with green beans which is delicious and I can't wait to have it and I will be talking to you guys later on guys Jake here again it's the next day I'm not sure exactly where I left you guys last time I'm pretty sure I was just about to go to the gym or something which I did so we went and did some chest yesterday it's a pretty good workout from what I remember I think I started with incline Smith machine press as you guys know it's my go-to exercise at the moment really allows me to go nice and slow contract the chest and obviously target the upper area of the chest which is which is what I want to do so we did probably like eight or nine sets of that then I went over to the decline barbell press which I prefer over the flat because it takes a little bit of the pressure off my shoulders and also I can push a little bit more weight as well so you know can't go wrong with that so we had probably about five sets on that permitting up to I think I had 80 kgs and I did sets of 7 to 8 this was obviously after pre-exhausting on the incline press which I only used I think 25 kgs on each side for sets of 8 to 10 following that we went over did some flies as per usual going from different pivots from up going from the bottom coming up to try and target this upper area coming from the side coming around just in general just targeting the inner chest and the upper chest as well and then also some from the top coming down underneath to sort of target this this sort of bottom of the chest area you know you know what it is man flies from different angles target different parts of the chest for me I really do want to target the the bottom bottom part of the chest as you guys may know naturally occurring gyno has been a problem for me since about the age of 13 now I will make a few videos in the future about gyno my my my opinions how it's affected me you know it it's it was fucked up being in high school with gyno it was fucked up but you know I'll tell you all about that one another day so for today I've actually just finished night shift so last night after training I had a couple more meals I actually had a meal at about three o'clock in the morning because I did night shift we do active nights we need to stay awake we can't actually go to sleep so four o'clock in the morning was my last meal it's about 9 30 now and I'm feeling you know quite hungry although I'm definitely pretty keen to go smash some cardio so that's what I'm going to do not outdoors I'm gonna go inside at Lasseter's casino gonna go watch some YouTube take advantage of the free Wi-Fi and then following that I may jump on some weights and do a little bit of a arms workout because didn't hit triceps yesterday so pretty keen to hit those do some do some buyers do some we're leaning out slowly but surely I won't show you right now it's a bit of a shit lighting out here so either way feeling good off to go smash some cardio I'm not gonna eat before I go but I will be having a post workout meal and I will show you guys what that is we're nine weeks out and we're getting it all right everybody we are back from the gym it's an hour's cardio as same as yesterday so that's good feeling good about that and also did some back so we did seated row lat pull down and bent over underhand grip barbell row so I did about 23 24 sets total about seven or eight sets per exercise really ripped it out my backs feeling nice and tight nice and pumped that was about half an hour ago and now we're gonna get some post workout nutrition and so I think first of all I'm gonna have it's probably about 40 grams left of these I'm gonna have one serve of oats and a scoop of MTS synogram which is delicious it's my go-to protein powder at the moment I wasn't having protein powder for weeks and weeks pretty much just because I ran out and I couldn't be bothered buying anymore but I decided to get some more and that's I'm probably just having a one scoop a day with it with oats and a shake with Greek yoga usually with something one scoop a day all my the rest of my protein is coming from Whole Foods in meals such as these so I'm gonna go with holy meatballs again pasta and meatballs it's fucking delicious and then for another meal after that I'm gonna have old school which is Portuguese chicken breast and sweet potato mash this one the macros are ridiculous 48 grams of protein 16 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fat and like it's pretty decent size meal so to be honest guys I've blown out so much that I'm happy where I'm at anyway to be fair I you know competing's not the be all and end all and so from now on I'm just gonna continue shredding and see how we go so I'll see you guys at eight weeks out hopefully consistently under 90 kgs and until then guys peace
