2sdHmRCEDSY-00036-00007000-00007231 to mess around um
2sdHmRCEDSY-00037-00007231-00007446 sorry like ukrainian men are for the
2sdHmRCEDSY-00038-00007447-00007559 most part okay

2sdHmRCEDSY-00048-00009224-00009567 to prolong that chase as much
2sdHmRCEDSY-00049-00009568-00009839 as possible if they want to catch him
2sdHmRCEDSY-00050-00009840-00009903 right

2sdHmRCEDSY-00055-00010672-00010927 that that woman has high self-value
2sdHmRCEDSY-00056-00010928-00011071 self-worth
2sdHmRCEDSY-00057-00011072-00011446 self-esteem and she's wife material

2sdHmRCEDSY-00063-00012743-00012863 first date
2sdHmRCEDSY-00064-00012863-00013143 yeah and they expect actually men will
2sdHmRCEDSY-00065-00013144-00013215 win them
2sdHmRCEDSY-00066-00013216-00013543 and they do you know within their heart

2sdHmRCEDSY-00068-00013856-00013911 to
2sdHmRCEDSY-00069-00013912-00014238 imagine that it's possible to be married
2sdHmRCEDSY-00070-00014240-00014319 for the man

2sdHmRCEDSY-00075-00015168-00015358 another big difference of western women

2slHnbrnUJU-00040-00006933-00007133 member Connolly members of the committee
2slHnbrnUJU-00041-00007134-00007313 thank you for inviting me here today
2slHnbrnUJU-00042-00007314-00007505 this is a very important subject that's
2slHnbrnUJU-00043-00007506-00007696 dear to my heart I've been doing this
2slHnbrnUJU-00044-00007697-00007924 for 15 years and find it to be extremely
2slHnbrnUJU-00045-00007925-00008258 important I also want to thank Gao for
2slHnbrnUJU-00046-00008259-00008453 an outstanding report in this area even
2slHnbrnUJU-00047-00008454-00008671 though they didn't address the Air Force
2slHnbrnUJU-00048-00008672-00008912 they address some important issues their
2slHnbrnUJU-00049-00008913-00009101 recommendations are recommendations that
2slHnbrnUJU-00050-00009102-00009419 we agree with we have the three elements
2slHnbrnUJU-00051-00009420-00009617 of active programs that they talk about
2slHnbrnUJU-00052-00009618-00009960 we have a dedicated staff we have
2slHnbrnUJU-00053-00009961-00010358 written processes and procedures and we
2slHnbrnUJU-00054-00010359-00010826 have you know practices that encourage
2slHnbrnUJU-00055-00010827-00010963 referrals I'm hesitating on the
2slHnbrnUJU-00056-00010964-00011117 referrals a little bit because one of
2slHnbrnUJU-00057-00011118-00011384 the features of the Air Force is not to
2slHnbrnUJU-00058-00011385-00011555 rely upon referrals referrals are
2slHnbrnUJU-00059-00011556-00011749 important procedures to increase
2slHnbrnUJU-00060-00011750-00011981 referrals are important but we do a lot
2slHnbrnUJU-00061-00011982-00012203 more than deal with our inbox and
2slHnbrnUJU-00062-00012204-00012403 respond to referrals from other agencies
2slHnbrnUJU-00063-00012404-00012688 and I'll get to that in a second the
2slHnbrnUJU-00064-00012689-00012899 areas that are somewhat unique perhaps
2slHnbrnUJU-00065-00012900-00013268 to the Air Force or at least our why we
2slHnbrnUJU-00066-00013269-00013334 are strong
2slHnbrnUJU-00067-00013335-00013513 in this area we think are both
2slHnbrnUJU-00068-00013515-00013757 structural and policy related and the
2slHnbrnUJU-00069-00013758-00013976 structural areas are the full-time
2slHnbrnUJU-00070-00013977-00014210 dedicated staff we have through the
2slHnbrnUJU-00071-00014211-00014432 entire 15 years of my tenure in this
2slHnbrnUJU-00072-00014433-00014681 position and before that had a full time
2slHnbrnUJU-00073-00014682-00014897 staff and more recently we've expanded
2slHnbrnUJU-00074-00014897-00015308 that to full time field staff in the AFM
2slHnbrnUJU-00075-00015309-00015516 see the air force materiel command and
2slHnbrnUJU-00076-00015518-00015922 in headquarters for the non Maj comms so
2slHnbrnUJU-00077-00015924-00016144 we had additional attorney so they're
2slHnbrnUJU-00078-00016144-00016541 somewhat upwards of 10 or 15 attorneys
2slHnbrnUJU-00079-00016542-00016706 that we have in the air force only even
2slHnbrnUJU-00080-00016707-00016943 though they're only three in my office
2slHnbrnUJU-00081-00016944-00017267 in headquarters Air Force another unique
2slHnbrnUJU-00082-00017268-00017555 part is that I'm a full-time de barring
2slHnbrnUJU-00083-00017556-00017756 official and that's very unusual in the
2slHnbrnUJU-00084-00017757-00018002 federal government I personally think
2slHnbrnUJU-00085-00018003-00018248 that's extremely important and I praise
2slHnbrnUJU-00086-00018249-00018377 the Air Force for doing that it was
2slHnbrnUJU-00087-00018378-00018551 before my time it has nothing to do with
2slHnbrnUJU-00088-00018552-00018776 me but I think that's an important
2slHnbrnUJU-00089-00018777-00018908 feature there are only three or four
2slHnbrnUJU-00090-00018909-00019082 agencies in the whole federal government
2slHnbrnUJU-00091-00019083-00019214 that have the full time to barring
2slHnbrnUJU-00092-00019215-00019463 official and I think that's an important
2slHnbrnUJU-00093-00019464-00019586 feature for some of the reasons that
2slHnbrnUJU-00094-00019587-00019844 I'll talk about also separation from the
2slHnbrnUJU-00095-00019845-00020048 acquisition chain i think is critical in
2slHnbrnUJU-00096-00020049-00020294 this area the Air Force and the whole
2slHnbrnUJU-00097-00020295-00020555 DoD started doing this in the early 90s
2slHnbrnUJU-00098-00020556-00021035 as a result of a AG report DoD IG report
2slHnbrnUJU-00099-00021036-00021182 recommending that it be structured that
2slHnbrnUJU-00100-00021183-00021380 way and I agree with them and I think
2slHnbrnUJU-00101-00021381-00021560 the Defense Department is doing that
2slHnbrnUJU-00102-00021561-00021803 correctly in that way we're independent
2slHnbrnUJU-00103-00021804-00022001 of the acquisition chain we certainly
2slHnbrnUJU-00104-00022002-00022124 coordinate with them and they are
2slHnbrnUJU-00105-00022125-00022457 partners with us but I don't wait or
2slHnbrnUJU-00106-00022458-00022682 expect the acquisition people to approve
2slHnbrnUJU-00107-00022683-00022861 of what I'm doing I'm empowered to do
2slHnbrnUJU-00108-00022862-00023135 what is right and that's the third
2slHnbrnUJU-00109-00023136-00023324 important feature the Air Force and that
2slHnbrnUJU-00110-00023325-00023567 is the empowerment the senior leaders of
2slHnbrnUJU-00111-00023568-00023840 the Air Force and of DoD have supported
2slHnbrnUJU-00112-00023841-00024058 what I've done throughout my tenure
2slHnbrnUJU-00113-00024059-00024314 recognize this as an independent area i
2slHnbrnUJU-00114-00024315-00024617 coordinate everything but I am empowered
2slHnbrnUJU-00115-00024618-00024818 to do what's right and the examples that
2slHnbrnUJU-00116-00024819-00025034 I used in the written testimony attest
2slHnbrnUJU-00117-00025035-00025324 to that and then another feature is
2slHnbrnUJU-00118-00025325-00025613 perhaps it's unusual and are unique to
2slHnbrnUJU-00119-00025614-00025787 the Defense Department and that's the
2slHnbrnUJU-00120-00025788-00026072 fraud remedies program I also managed
2slHnbrnUJU-00121-00026073-00026261 within the Air Force so I'm overseeing
2slHnbrnUJU-00122-00026262-00026507 two missions one is coordinating and
2slHnbrnUJU-00123-00026508-00026708 making sure the Air Force gets
2slHnbrnUJU-00124-00026708-00026855 all of the remedies criminal civil
2slHnbrnUJU-00125-00026856-00027197 contract and administrative done and we
2slHnbrnUJU-00126-00027198-00027431 are the outs of the inside lawyers
2slHnbrnUJU-00127-00027432-00027593 really for the Justice Department in
2slHnbrnUJU-00128-00027594-00027800 making those kinds of decisions so
2slHnbrnUJU-00129-00027801-00027980 because of that we have real visibility
2slHnbrnUJU-00130-00027981-00028237 into cases and we can reach out and do
2slHnbrnUJU-00131-00028238-00028406 suspensions and debarments even when
2slHnbrnUJU-00132-00028407-00028787 nobody refers them to us and that is
2slHnbrnUJU-00133-00028788-00029036 where the outreach and the proactiveness
2slHnbrnUJU-00134-00029037-00029237 that I was talking about comes in where
2slHnbrnUJU-00135-00029238-00029510 we don't wait for referrals we monitor
2slHnbrnUJU-00136-00029511-00029758 cases from the investigators their case
2slHnbrnUJU-00137-00029760-00030008 status reports if there's some case that
2slHnbrnUJU-00138-00030008-00030242 looks like it's necessary to do a
2slHnbrnUJU-00139-00030243-00030421 suspension or debarment to protect the
2slHnbrnUJU-00140-00030422-00030536 interests of the interest of the
2slHnbrnUJU-00141-00030537-00030844 government we will reach out to that
2slHnbrnUJU-00142-00030845-00031076 investigator asked for the report and
2slHnbrnUJU-00143-00031077-00031246 we'll do a department even though nobody
2slHnbrnUJU-00144-00031247-00031430 is asking us to do that department and
2slHnbrnUJU-00145-00031431-00031625 even if people are objecting to it we're
2slHnbrnUJU-00146-00031626-00031765 going to do it if that's the right thing
2slHnbrnUJU-00147-00031766-00032243 to do on the policy side of this the
2slHnbrnUJU-00148-00032244-00032458 fact-based cases is an important part of
2slHnbrnUJU-00149-00032460-00032579 what we do I think there's a lot of
2slHnbrnUJU-00150-00032580-00032768 agencies that only do two barman's or
2slHnbrnUJU-00151-00032769-00032933 suspensions or there's an indictment or
2slHnbrnUJU-00152-00032934-00033185 a conviction and I think that's
2slHnbrnUJU-00153-00033186-00033374 ill-advised that's that's just
2slHnbrnUJU-00154-00033375-00033539 delegating all of your power to the
2slHnbrnUJU-00155-00033540-00033671 Justice Department if they don't have
2slHnbrnUJU-00156-00033672-00033905 the resources to do a case they won't do
2slHnbrnUJU-00157-00033906-00034096 it but we in the Air Force are still
2slHnbrnUJU-00158-00034097-00034252 worried about that so we will reach out
2slHnbrnUJU-00159-00034253-00034481 and do a department anyway based upon
2slHnbrnUJU-00160-00034482-00034858 facts also it's not important or not
2slHnbrnUJU-00161-00034859-00035126 necessary to do contract actions I mean
2slHnbrnUJU-00162-00035127-00035417 it is not the power of a department
2slHnbrnUJU-00163-00035418-00035636 under the far is not limited to fraud in
2slHnbrnUJU-00164-00035637-00035855 a government contract if an Air Force
2slHnbrnUJU-00165-00035856-00036050 contractor for example is committing
2slHnbrnUJU-00166-00036051-00036314 fraud on a commercial case or personal
2slHnbrnUJU-00167-00036315-00036652 income tax evasion or anything more than
2slHnbrnUJU-00168-00036653-00036845 jaywalking probably we are going to be
2slHnbrnUJU-00169-00036846-00037007 concerned about it because if they're
2slHnbrnUJU-00170-00037008-00037211 defining a commercial customer they're
2slHnbrnUJU-00171-00037212-00037496 going to throw at us and finally the
2slHnbrnUJU-00172-00037497-00037702 carrot-and-stick we use I talked about
2slHnbrnUJU-00173-00037703-00037858 this a lot because of the stick of
2slHnbrnUJU-00174-00037859-00038083 debarment we're able to influence
2slHnbrnUJU-00175-00038084-00038348 proactively the defense industry I think
2slHnbrnUJU-00176-00038349-00038527 and we go out and talk to the defense
2slHnbrnUJU-00177-00038528-00038807 industry and we give them incentives to
2slHnbrnUJU-00178-00038808-00039052 improve their programs and processes to
2slHnbrnUJU-00179-00039053-00039305 avoid the fraud at the front end so
2slHnbrnUJU-00180-00039306-00039542 we're trying to limit fraud and
2slHnbrnUJU-00181-00039543-00039851 do risk management rather than solely
2slHnbrnUJU-00182-00039852-00040139 doing the stick of debarment and with
2slHnbrnUJU-00183-00040140-00040322 that thank you and I'll take any
2slHnbrnUJU-00184-00040323-00040700 questions hey Rashad mr. Pelletier Thank

2slHnbrnUJU-00192-00042570-00042764 the leader in this area for example my
2slHnbrnUJU-00193-00042765-00043064 predecessor was the chairman of the is
2slHnbrnUJU-00194-00043065-00043259 DC which have heard some testimony about

2slHnbrnUJU-00205-00045978-00046181 instructors for the three or four
2slHnbrnUJU-00206-00046182-00046433 courses that we offer each year now the
2slHnbrnUJU-00207-00046434-00046667 EPA program has really two elements to
2slHnbrnUJU-00208-00046668-00046946 it it has a statutory debarments and it
2slHnbrnUJU-00209-00046947-00047267 also has a discretionary the statutory

2slHnbrnUJU-00215-00048513-00048737 are almost exclusively used in our
2slHnbrnUJU-00216-00048738-00049085 procurement common rule at our office we
2slHnbrnUJU-00217-00049086-00049256 have to set it in the EPA we have two
2slHnbrnUJU-00218-00049257-00049415 separate offices that deal with
2slHnbrnUJU-00219-00049416-00049655 suspension and debarment program there's
2slHnbrnUJU-00220-00049656-00049859 my office as a suspension Department

2slHnbrnUJU-00229-00051741-00051989 suspension and debarment the way the
2slHnbrnUJU-00230-00051990-00052279 cases work at EPA the suspension
2slHnbrnUJU-00231-00052280-00052480 department the division attorneys
2slHnbrnUJU-00232-00052482-00052640 developed the case in close coordination
2slHnbrnUJU-00233-00052641-00052791 with
2slHnbrnUJU-00234-00052791-00053138 the OIG for example or the office of
2slHnbrnUJU-00235-00053139-00053417 enforcement that we have or any other
2slHnbrnUJU-00236-00053419-00053666 state or federal investigative body or
2slHnbrnUJU-00237-00053667-00053900 any public or private source that may
2slHnbrnUJU-00238-00053901-00054119 provide us with information like mr.
2slHnbrnUJU-00239-00054120-00054362 Shaw says we do fact-based cases as well
2slHnbrnUJU-00240-00054363-00054672 we coordinate or the division attorneys
2slHnbrnUJU-00241-00054673-00054866 coordinate through the is DC for lead
2slHnbrnUJU-00242-00054867-00055193 agency and then it's referred to my
2slHnbrnUJU-00243-00055194-00055379 office for an action and then when
2slHnbrnUJU-00244-00055380-00055704 proper notice we provide the respondents
2slHnbrnUJU-00245-00055704-00055892 the opportunity to be heard the present
2slHnbrnUJU-00246-00055894-00056126 information and arguments in opposition
2slHnbrnUJU-00247-00056127-00056397 to the proposed debarment when i make a
2slHnbrnUJU-00248-00056398-00056703 final decision it is on behalf of not
2slHnbrnUJU-00249-00056704-00056909 only the epa but all federal agencies
2slHnbrnUJU-00250-00056910-00057250 now under the epa non procurement rule
2slHnbrnUJU-00251-00057251-00057605 as we have implemented it at epa there's
2slHnbrnUJU-00252-00057607-00057903 an additional safeguard in that the
2slHnbrnUJU-00253-00057904-00058221 respondent can appeal my decision to the
2slHnbrnUJU-00254-00058222-00058394 director of the office of grants and
2slHnbrnUJU-00255-00058395-00058631 debarment prior to taking any court
2slHnbrnUJU-00256-00058632-00058797 action under the Administrative
2slHnbrnUJU-00257-00058798-00059085 Procedures Act just as a frame of
2slHnbrnUJU-00258-00059086-00059238 reference and the numbers are not
2slHnbrnUJU-00259-00059239-00059463 magical but just as a frame of reference
2slHnbrnUJU-00260-00059464-00059681 in the last fiscal year our initial
2slHnbrnUJU-00261-00059682-00059988 numbers indicated we took 98 proposed
2slHnbrnUJU-00262-00059989-00060336 debarments 111 suspensions 115
2slHnbrnUJU-00263-00060337-00060482 discretionary departments and
2slHnbrnUJU-00264-00060483-00060766 approximately 42 statutory debarments
2slHnbrnUJU-00265-00060767-00060956 also we entered into three
2slHnbrnUJU-00266-00060957-00061224 administrative agreements now the rate
2slHnbrnUJU-00267-00061225-00061560 of EPA dollars spent procurement to non
2slHnbrnUJU-00268-00061561-00061800 procurement is approximately four to one
2slHnbrnUJU-00269-00061801-00061988 in that is why we use the non
2slHnbrnUJU-00270-00061989-00062318 procurement rule rather than the far the
2slHnbrnUJU-00271-00062319-00062691 both rules are reciprocal so you can of
2slHnbrnUJU-00272-00062691-00062855 course any action of the one is binding
2slHnbrnUJU-00273-00062857-00063060 on the other also you can use a non
2slHnbrnUJU-00274-00063061-00063251 procurement rule for acquisition as well
2slHnbrnUJU-00275-00063252-00063491 as non acquisition matters so it is
2slHnbrnUJU-00276-00063491-00063716 available if you want to do it for a
2slHnbrnUJU-00277-00063717-00064128 contract direct acquisition process the
2slHnbrnUJU-00278-00064129-00064350 written guidance that EPA has we have
2slHnbrnUJU-00279-00064351-00064706 implemented for example the non
2slHnbrnUJU-00280-00064707-00064890 procurement rule is implemented by the
2slHnbrnUJU-00281-00064891-00065234 agencies we did that through our 2 CFR
2slHnbrnUJU-00282-00065235-00065638 1532 but also over the years we have
2slHnbrnUJU-00283-00065639-00066059 supplemented with written guidance SOPs
2slHnbrnUJU-00284-00066060-00066422 best practices that are been learned
2slHnbrnUJU-00285-00066423-00066728 since 1981 and put those into a written
2slHnbrnUJU-00286-00066729-00066975 form so it can be continued and
2slHnbrnUJU-00287-00066976-00067187 consistently updated as we go through
2slHnbrnUJU-00288-00067188-00067426 the process another factor that it's
2slHnbrnUJU-00289-00067427-00067712 important is the my superiors actively
2slHnbrnUJU-00290-00067713-00067985 encouraged our involvement not only with
2slHnbrnUJU-00291-00067986-00068326 the is DC but also with other agents
2slHnbrnUJU-00292-00068327-00068534 other organizations that are involved in
2slHnbrnUJU-00293-00068535-00068765 this such as the AV a subcommittee on
2slHnbrnUJU-00294-00068766-00069049 suspension and debarment we're very

2slHnbrnUJU-00326-00075849-00076012 a year the secretary approved a new
2slHnbrnUJU-00327-00076013-00076243 program for suspension and debarment it

2slHnbrnUJU-00382-00086601-00086897 grant recipients between 2006 and 2010
2slHnbrnUJU-00383-00086898-00087218 in fiscal year 2011 we also devoured six
2slHnbrnUJU-00384-00087219-00087476 grant recipients and these department
2slHnbrnUJU-00385-00087477-00087671 cases were based on financial misconduct
2slHnbrnUJU-00386-00087672-00087872 as investigated by our office of the
2slHnbrnUJU-00387-00087873-00088063 inspector general and scientific

2slHnbrnUJU-00394-00089412-00089606 terminated approximately 12 contracts
2slHnbrnUJU-00395-00089607-00089801 for a default in these cases the
2slHnbrnUJU-00396-00089802-00089984 associated performance issues were not
2slHnbrnUJU-00397-00089985-00090184 so serious in nature to impose either
2slHnbrnUJU-00398-00090185-00090476 suspension or debarment in light of the
2slHnbrnUJU-00399-00090477-00090686 geos recommendations and an effort to
2slHnbrnUJU-00400-00090687-00090896 strengthen our suspension and department

2x0SdjLBqiu-00008-00003119-00003270 we're going to be talking about another
2x0SdjLBqiu-00009-00003271-00003415 horror game that has just been released
2x0SdjLBqiu-00010-00003415-00003519 now i love
2x0SdjLBqiu-00011-00003520-00003727 classic resident evil i also love silent
2x0SdjLBqiu-00012-00003728-00003983 hill this game has brought back the old
2x0SdjLBqiu-00013-00003984-00004238 school fixed camera angles tank control
2x0SdjLBqiu-00014-00004239-00004335 buttons
2x0SdjLBqiu-00015-00004336-00004711 and that game is tormented souls
2x0SdjLBqiu-00016-00004712-00004911 tormented souls is a classic fixed
2x0SdjLBqiu-00017-00004912-00005151 camera angle survival horror inspired by
2x0SdjLBqiu-00018-00005152-00005327 the original resident evil with leona
2x0SdjLBqiu-00019-00005328-00005543 dark and silent hill series with a
2x0SdjLBqiu-00020-00005544-00005727 massive building to explore and a lot of
2x0SdjLBqiu-00021-00005728-00005951 classic backtracking and some amazing
2x0SdjLBqiu-00022-00005952-00006167 puzzles this really brought back my
2x0SdjLBqiu-00023-00006168-00006463 childhood
2x0SdjLBqiu-00024-00006464-00006687 your story begins as caroline walker
2x0SdjLBqiu-00025-00006688-00006919 getting a letter from john doe a photo
2x0SdjLBqiu-00026-00006920-00007103 of twins and then you set off to
2x0SdjLBqiu-00027-00007104-00007278 investigate the disappearance of twin
2x0SdjLBqiu-00028-00007279-00007567 girls at the winter lake but as always
2x0SdjLBqiu-00029-00007568-00007855 these games sometimes goes from bad to
2x0SdjLBqiu-00030-00007856-00008159 worse and foreshadows trauma events but
2x0SdjLBqiu-00031-00008159-00008367 the question is does this game live to
2x0SdjLBqiu-00032-00008368-00008623 its expectations
2x0SdjLBqiu-00033-00008624-00008846 are sort of really so let's start off
2x0SdjLBqiu-00034-00008847-00008999 with the storytelling
2x0SdjLBqiu-00035-00009000-00009335 not that great and it's not bad
2x0SdjLBqiu-00036-00009336-00009535 at the start there is a lot of
2x0SdjLBqiu-00037-00009536-00009719 foreshadowing
2x0SdjLBqiu-00038-00009720-00009910 that's that's my complaint with this
2x0SdjLBqiu-00039-00009911-00010119 game with games like silent hill when
2x0SdjLBqiu-00040-00010120-00010287 you go through the story you sometimes
2x0SdjLBqiu-00041-00010288-00010471 think is it all in your head with this
2x0SdjLBqiu-00042-00010472-00010638 character and what happened to the
2x0SdjLBqiu-00043-00010639-00010863 person who he's finding like the maria
2x0SdjLBqiu-00044-00010864-00011046 case from silent hill 2 or the silent
2x0SdjLBqiu-00045-00011047-00011231 hill homecoming case with alex and his
2x0SdjLBqiu-00046-00011232-00011542 brother what happened with those games
2x0SdjLBqiu-00047-00011543-00011823 the foreshadowing was very minimum until
2x0SdjLBqiu-00048-00011824-00012014 you start playing again that's when you
2x0SdjLBqiu-00049-00012015-00012199 realize stuff's going on but you don't
2x0SdjLBqiu-00050-00012200-00012414 notice it especially with sign hill 2
2x0SdjLBqiu-00051-00012415-00012551 for me
2x0SdjLBqiu-00052-00012552-00012678 yeah
2x0SdjLBqiu-00053-00012679-00012830 but the thing is with the first star of
2x0SdjLBqiu-00054-00012831-00013046 the hormone itself it was easy to point
2x0SdjLBqiu-00055-00013047-00013238 out the foreshadowing bits however the
2x0SdjLBqiu-00056-00013240-00013430 story is pretty interesting and a bit
2x0SdjLBqiu-00057-00013431-00013638 corny at times the time but hey better
2x0SdjLBqiu-00058-00013640-00013783 story than the last few games i've
2x0SdjLBqiu-00059-00013784-00013919 played in the past with these horror
2x0SdjLBqiu-00060-00013919-00014166 games like three months now the combat
2x0SdjLBqiu-00061-00014168-00014415 yeah it's pretty bland now the combat
2x0SdjLBqiu-00062-00014416-00014711 system yeah it's pretty bland as we're a
2x0SdjLBqiu-00063-00014712-00014943 fan of an old-school tank style
2x0SdjLBqiu-00064-00014944-00015150 this was not really good when it came to
2x0SdjLBqiu-00065-00015151-00015855 the combat system
2x0SdjLBqiu-00066-00015856-00017430 really
2x0SdjLBqiu-00067-00017431-00018414 tough
2x0SdjLBqiu-00068-00018415-00018639 jesus christ on caution already with
2x0SdjLBqiu-00069-00018640-00018799 stuff like silent hill when you start
2x0SdjLBqiu-00070-00018800-00018999 shooting you can walk back
2x0SdjLBqiu-00071-00019000-00019230 on this one you can't walk back you can
2x0SdjLBqiu-00072-00019231-00019455 only aim left or right there's no up or
2x0SdjLBqiu-00073-00019456-00019839 down it's just straight on it's basic um
2x0SdjLBqiu-00074-00019840-00020007 so once you get into aim mode you can't
2x0SdjLBqiu-00075-00020008-00020303 move at all however the monsters itself
2x0SdjLBqiu-00076-00020304-00020478 um they don't get a pushback when you
2x0SdjLBqiu-00077-00020479-00020719 shoot them in fact um i believe it's
2x0SdjLBqiu-00078-00020720-00021063 like over 10 bullets to kill a monster
2x0SdjLBqiu-00079-00021064-00021278 on that game um
2x0SdjLBqiu-00080-00021279-00021471 i i think i spent
2x0SdjLBqiu-00081-00021472-00021630 most of my time just shooting this
2x0SdjLBqiu-00082-00021631-00022007 corpse and uh it really wasn't doing
2x0SdjLBqiu-00083-00022008-00022247 much
2x0SdjLBqiu-00084-00022248-00022407 but then i looked at my ammo and i
2x0SdjLBqiu-00085-00022408-00022583 thought oh i'm a bit low so i went for
2x0SdjLBqiu-00086-00022584-00022903 the crowbar crowbar took ages um i can
2x0SdjLBqiu-00087-00022904-00023135 see the crowbar be used for things that
2x0SdjLBqiu-00088-00023136-00023239 don't move
2x0SdjLBqiu-00089-00023240-00023407 and
2x0SdjLBqiu-00090-00023408-00023607 with monsters that move and there is
2x0SdjLBqiu-00091-00023608-00023919 literally a 60 chance it will hit you
2x0SdjLBqiu-00092-00023920-00024207 um so goes the health system on the
2x0SdjLBqiu-00093-00024208-00024439 combat system the health system for you
2x0SdjLBqiu-00094-00024440-00024647 i think it's like five hits and that's
2x0SdjLBqiu-00095-00024648-00024727 it
2x0SdjLBqiu-00096-00024728-00025014 um with the monsters it's about 15 hits
2x0SdjLBqiu-00097-00025015-00025175 so
2x0SdjLBqiu-00098-00025176-00025414 i i didn't like that i did notice uh you
2x0SdjLBqiu-00099-00025415-00025631 can have a step back fit but they didn't
2x0SdjLBqiu-00100-00025632-00025814 show me in the controls i went to check
2x0SdjLBqiu-00101-00025816-00025950 my map in
2x0SdjLBqiu-00102-00025951-00026094 and
2x0SdjLBqiu-00103-00026095-00026206 yeah
2x0SdjLBqiu-00104-00026207-00026414 they really want you to use controller i
2x0SdjLBqiu-00105-00026416-00026631 can promise you that but you know
2x0SdjLBqiu-00106-00026632-00026870 if you've got a controller i'd use it on
2x0SdjLBqiu-00107-00026872-00027135 to the next bit the puzzles i gotta say
2x0SdjLBqiu-00108-00027136-00027431 the puzzles are amazing the classic
2x0SdjLBqiu-00109-00027432-00027623 resident evil style when you actually
2x0SdjLBqiu-00110-00027624-00027807 examine an item and you have to like
2x0SdjLBqiu-00111-00027808-00028014 mess around with it in 3d to just open

2x0SdjLBqiu-00135-00033272-00033511 and overall the game itself
2x0SdjLBqiu-00136-00033512-00033735 ain't half bad there is a lot of update
2x0SdjLBqiu-00137-00033736-00033927 tweaks that needs to happen in that game
2x0SdjLBqiu-00138-00033928-00034302 uh like for instance you son of a gun um
2x0SdjLBqiu-00139-00034303-00034511 when you decide to not kill the monsters
2x0SdjLBqiu-00140-00034512-00034671 and you run to the safe room and as soon
2x0SdjLBqiu-00141-00034672-00034839 as you open the door they're right in
2x0SdjLBqiu-00142-00034840-00035087 front of you the black screen disappears
2x0SdjLBqiu-00143-00035088-00035271 and whilst that's happening you're still
2x0SdjLBqiu-00144-00035272-00037262 getting whacked
2x0SdjLBqiu-00145-00037263-00039095 huh

2x0SdjLBqiu-00147-00039288-00039607 at least like if you're gonna go classic
2x0SdjLBqiu-00148-00039608-00039823 horror and you say it's like resonant
2x0SdjLBqiu-00149-00039824-00039990 you between sign hill you're gonna have
2x0SdjLBqiu-00150-00039991-00042178 to have an aim and walk back function
2x0SdjLBqiu-00151-00042179-00042567 [Music]
2x0SdjLBqiu-00152-00042568-00042774 this game's dumb

2x0SdjLBqiu-00154-00042919-00043087 like
2x0SdjLBqiu-00155-00043088-00043183 if you go
2x0SdjLBqiu-00156-00043184-00043383 if you're gonna put monster outside at
2x0SdjLBqiu-00157-00043384-00043543 least make the damage a little bit
2x0SdjLBqiu-00158-00043544-00043943 better with the with the crowbar um
2x0SdjLBqiu-00159-00043944-00044102 i don't know why you're using a nail gun
2x0SdjLBqiu-00160-00044103-00044302 though but could have been other weapons
2x0SdjLBqiu-00161-00044303-00045111 like a shotgun
2x0SdjLBqiu-00162-00045112-00045462 let's see for yourself
2x0SdjLBqiu-00163-00045463-00045655 it's not even the classic combat system

2x0SdjLBqiu-00165-00045888-00046079 storytelling's pretty weak but it's not
2x0SdjLBqiu-00166-00046080-00046302 bad as i said it's a good thing and it's
2x0SdjLBqiu-00167-00046303-00046495 not a bad thing but if you're a classic
2x0SdjLBqiu-00168-00046496-00046679 survival horror

2_dwDSwC1bo-00023-00007661-00007841 what are the objectives of this
2_dwDSwC1bo-00024-00007842-00008020 presentation

2_dwDSwC1bo-00027-00008382-00008549 to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00028-00008550-00008746 more knowledge on repeating of open

2_dwDSwC1bo-00031-00009150-00009371 open education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00032-00009372-00009653 awareness or difficulties encounter by
2_dwDSwC1bo-00033-00009654-00009851 the physically challenged in access to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00034-00009852-00010014 open education
2_dwDSwC1bo-00035-00010015-00010246 understanding of some some of the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00036-00010247-00010606 problems of open education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00037-00010607-00010823 introduction
2_dwDSwC1bo-00038-00010824-00011141 what is open education
2_dwDSwC1bo-00039-00011142-00011410 when we say something is open it means
2_dwDSwC1bo-00040-00011411-00011873 it is free not close not covered and it
2_dwDSwC1bo-00041-00011874-00012106 is not restricted
2_dwDSwC1bo-00042-00012107-00012431 education is the act of teaching and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00043-00012432-00012760 learning to impact knowledge
2_dwDSwC1bo-00044-00012761-00013138 therefore open education is the making
2_dwDSwC1bo-00045-00013140-00013408 of teaching and learning or Educational
2_dwDSwC1bo-00046-00013409-00013757 Opportunity available and accessible to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00047-00013758-00013925 all
2_dwDSwC1bo-00048-00013926-00014122 in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00049-00014123-00014429 open education is available and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00050-00014430-00014555 accessible
2_dwDSwC1bo-00051-00014556-00015011 to the rich poor vulnerable the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00052-00015012-00015277 physically challenged male and female
2_dwDSwC1bo-00053-00015278-00015625 singles married young and old
2_dwDSwC1bo-00054-00015626-00015886 irrespective of their geographical
2_dwDSwC1bo-00055-00015887-00016138 location
2_dwDSwC1bo-00056-00016140-00016463 it means open education eradicates
2_dwDSwC1bo-00057-00016464-00016841 barriers to learning it allows equal
2_dwDSwC1bo-00058-00016842-00017165 access to open educational resources in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00059-00017166-00017380 any format
2_dwDSwC1bo-00060-00017381-00017621 80
2_dwDSwC1bo-00061-00017622-00017772 courseware
2_dwDSwC1bo-00062-00017773-00018077 blessing or lecture notes
2_dwDSwC1bo-00063-00018078-00018407 open education also allows flexibility
2_dwDSwC1bo-00064-00018408-00018730 in learning and makes learning
2_dwDSwC1bo-00065-00018731-00019061 a learner Center
2_dwDSwC1bo-00066-00019062-00019253 and when we say
2_dwDSwC1bo-00067-00019254-00019564 open education is a learner Center
2_dwDSwC1bo-00068-00019565-00019733 it means
2_dwDSwC1bo-00069-00019734-00020044 Learners have
2_dwDSwC1bo-00070-00020045-00020383 rights to partake in the planning
2_dwDSwC1bo-00071-00020384-00020705 implementation and assessment
2_dwDSwC1bo-00072-00020706-00020950 in Nigeria however
2_dwDSwC1bo-00073-00020951-00021214 Lana Center is relative
2_dwDSwC1bo-00074-00021215-00021472 because Learners are not involved in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00075-00021473-00022000 planning and implementation
2_dwDSwC1bo-00076-00022001-00022403 open education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00077-00022404-00022763 before we go on with the issue of open
2_dwDSwC1bo-00078-00022764-00022955 education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00079-00022956-00023177 let me talk a little bit on the country
2_dwDSwC1bo-00080-00023178-00023400 called Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00081-00023401-00023758 Nigeria is a country in West Africa with
2_dwDSwC1bo-00082-00023759-00023839 about
2_dwDSwC1bo-00083-00023840-00024107 260.7 million people according to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00084-00024108-00024383 statistical 2022
2_dwDSwC1bo-00085-00024384-00024700 Nigeria is situated between the Sahel to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00086-00024701-00025007 the North and the Gulf of the Galilee
2_dwDSwC1bo-00087-00025008-00025241 it is divided into six geopolitical
2_dwDSwC1bo-00088-00025242-00025511 zones for easy management and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00089-00025512-00025775 administration and this is geopolitical
2_dwDSwC1bo-00090-00025776-00026218 zones are Northwest Northeast
2_dwDSwC1bo-00091-00026219-00026627 North Central Southwest south east and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00092-00026627-00026790 south south
2_dwDSwC1bo-00093-00026791-00027035 Nigeria is also a member of United
2_dwDSwC1bo-00094-00027036-00027312 Nations educational scientific

2_dwDSwC1bo-00096-00027641-00027964 hence education is germane to power

2_dwDSwC1bo-00215-00066504-00066821 there is a fundamental misconception of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00216-00066822-00067091 inclusive education to the extent of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00217-00067092-00067426 cultural and policy biases according to

2_dwDSwC1bo-00226-00070151-00070421 though appears to embrace inclusive

2_dwDSwC1bo-00228-00070650-00070967 education program of 1999 the operation

2_dwDSwC1bo-00299-00091722-00092267 this refers to any individual with a
2_dwDSwC1bo-00300-00092268-00092459 physical disability
2_dwDSwC1bo-00301-00092460-00092788 life from the picture we can see some

2_dwDSwC1bo-00303-00092982-00093244 some are working with
2_dwDSwC1bo-00304-00093245-00093605 sticks this set of people are referred
2_dwDSwC1bo-00305-00093606-00093923 to as the physically challenged and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00306-00093924-00094079 because of the physical condition of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00307-00094080-00094288 this vehicle they are says with some
2_dwDSwC1bo-00308-00094289-00094588 challenges as regards open education in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00309-00094589-00094715 Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00310-00094716-00095105 some of these challenges are
2_dwDSwC1bo-00311-00095106-00095411 fundamental misconception of inclusive
2_dwDSwC1bo-00312-00095412-00095717 education what is this misconception it
2_dwDSwC1bo-00313-00095718-00096023 is that creating of special centers or
2_dwDSwC1bo-00314-00096024-00096244 special schools for this set of people
2_dwDSwC1bo-00315-00096245-00096406 thereby
2_dwDSwC1bo-00316-00096407-00096755 they are being segregated from the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00317-00096756-00097103 normal people and this has negates the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00318-00097104-00097600 objective of inclusive open education
2_dwDSwC1bo-00319-00097601-00097782 we also have the challenge of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00320-00097783-00098135 discrimination marginalization
2_dwDSwC1bo-00321-00098136-00098471 because of their condition
2_dwDSwC1bo-00322-00098472-00098705 importance of open education
2_dwDSwC1bo-00323-00098706-00099268 accessibility in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00324-00099269-00099568 when we say open education is accessible
2_dwDSwC1bo-00325-00099569-00099941 it means
2_dwDSwC1bo-00326-00099942-00100126 everybody
2_dwDSwC1bo-00327-00100127-00100361 can afford it
2_dwDSwC1bo-00328-00100362-00100571 it means the resources
2_dwDSwC1bo-00329-00100572-00100931 are efficient they're effective and they
2_dwDSwC1bo-00330-00100932-00101261 are satisfying by many people even with
2_dwDSwC1bo-00331-00101262-00101429 different abilities
2_dwDSwC1bo-00332-00101430-00101729 however some of the advantages are
2_dwDSwC1bo-00333-00101730-00102100 open education has a wider coverage of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00334-00102101-00102347 Learners in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00335-00102348-00102778 they married the old those that live in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00336-00102779-00102923 a remote areas
2_dwDSwC1bo-00337-00102924-00103132 can have access to this education
2_dwDSwC1bo-00338-00103133-00103456 through the use of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00339-00103457-00103799 open education distance learning
2_dwDSwC1bo-00340-00103800-00104044 open education has removed a lot of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00341-00104045-00104278 barriers
2_dwDSwC1bo-00342-00104279-00104560 in Nigeria and open education as well
2_dwDSwC1bo-00343-00104561-00104851 AIDS development of skis that reduce
2_dwDSwC1bo-00344-00104852-00105340 poverty in Nigeria is
2_dwDSwC1bo-00345-00105341-00105610 expose so many people to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00346-00105611-00105893 the world of Entrepreneurship because
2_dwDSwC1bo-00347-00105894-00106240 open education in its curriculum has
2_dwDSwC1bo-00348-00106241-00106636 entrepreneurship for the learners
2_dwDSwC1bo-00349-00106638-00106931 the open education aspects in developing
2_dwDSwC1bo-00350-00106932-00107236 skills that promotes creativity and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00351-00107238-00107539 Innovation which also brings employment
2_dwDSwC1bo-00352-00107540-00107958 in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00353-00107959-00108293 challenges of open education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00354-00108294-00108436 there is
2_dwDSwC1bo-00355-00108438-00108677 the issue of marginalization of the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00356-00108678-00109001 physically challenged that is the people
2_dwDSwC1bo-00357-00109002-00109307 they are not able-bodied
2_dwDSwC1bo-00358-00109308-00109589 what is this marginalization all about
2_dwDSwC1bo-00359-00109590-00109877 as it is as a result of the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00360-00109878-00110140 misconception that this set of people
2_dwDSwC1bo-00361-00110141-00110447 probably they they have connection with
2_dwDSwC1bo-00362-00110448-00110669 the evil World hence people are not
2_dwDSwC1bo-00363-00110670-00110831 really ready to associate with them
2_dwDSwC1bo-00364-00110832-00111107 there is the problem of non-availability
2_dwDSwC1bo-00365-00111108-00111371 of adaptive technology and specialized
2_dwDSwC1bo-00366-00111372-00112097 softwares even for this set of people
2_dwDSwC1bo-00367-00112098-00112384 there is the problem of limited access
2_dwDSwC1bo-00368-00112385-00112549 to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00369-00112550-00112919 high-speed internet
2_dwDSwC1bo-00370-00112920-00113165 the problem there is however the problem
2_dwDSwC1bo-00371-00113166-00113501 of cost of data and erratic powers of
2_dwDSwC1bo-00372-00113502-00113704 black and Nigeria hence it is not
2_dwDSwC1bo-00373-00113705-00113908 totally that means that is open
2_dwDSwC1bo-00374-00113909-00114089 education is not totally free for all
2_dwDSwC1bo-00375-00114090-00114304 since not everybody have access to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00376-00114305-00114586 electricity in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00377-00114588-00114934 even some cannot afford the cost of data
2_dwDSwC1bo-00378-00114935-00115266 according to HIV
2_dwDSwC1bo-00379-00115267-00115547 opportunity 2015
2_dwDSwC1bo-00380-00115548-00115949 ICT integration of ICT
2_dwDSwC1bo-00381-00115950-00116363 it's a problem in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00382-00116364-00116693 because we have so many teachers and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00383-00116694-00116933 students
2_dwDSwC1bo-00384-00116933-00117083 who have
2_dwDSwC1bo-00385-00117083-00117460 a less ICT skill and then in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00386-00117461-00117790 accessibility to ICT infrastructure
2_dwDSwC1bo-00387-00117791-00118216 is another issue in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00388-00118217-00118523 there is the problem of infrastructure
2_dwDSwC1bo-00389-00118524-00118769 the athletic power supply in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00390-00118770-00118960 does not provide an enabling environment
2_dwDSwC1bo-00391-00118961-00119273 for the use of ICT application this has
2_dwDSwC1bo-00392-00119274-00119428 led to the damage of electronic
2_dwDSwC1bo-00393-00119429-00119645 equipment
2_dwDSwC1bo-00394-00119646-00119957 such as video recorder and even ICT
2_dwDSwC1bo-00395-00119958-00120166 equipment such as computers
2_dwDSwC1bo-00396-00120167-00120425 when Electric Supply is not constant it
2_dwDSwC1bo-00397-00120426-00120569 becomes difficult to keep high
2_dwDSwC1bo-00398-00120570-00120833 technology equipment such as computer's
2_dwDSwC1bo-00399-00120833-00121060 functioning
2_dwDSwC1bo-00400-00121061-00121271 the greatest educational problems are
2_dwDSwC1bo-00401-00121272-00121481 mostly into remote areas where
2_dwDSwC1bo-00402-00121482-00121810 electricity supplies may be irregular or
2_dwDSwC1bo-00403-00121811-00122278 non-existent
2_dwDSwC1bo-00404-00122279-00122536 in the rural areas most schools are
2_dwDSwC1bo-00405-00122538-00122771 homes do not have access to electricity
2_dwDSwC1bo-00406-00122772-00123028 thereby depriving daily
2_dwDSwC1bo-00407-00123029-00123310 and causing a great problem in trying to
2_dwDSwC1bo-00408-00123311-00123851 utilize ICT in such locality
2_dwDSwC1bo-00409-00123852-00124054 we have talked about the issue of lack
2_dwDSwC1bo-00410-00124055-00124378 of relevant software
2_dwDSwC1bo-00411-00124379-00124865 probably for the disabled people
2_dwDSwC1bo-00412-00124866-00125316 okay other problems are
2_dwDSwC1bo-00413-00125317-00125686 insecurity insecurity is one of the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00414-00125688-00125957 major problems facing Nigeria presently
2_dwDSwC1bo-00415-00125958-00126184 the issue of terrorism is on the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00416-00126185-00126281 increase
2_dwDSwC1bo-00417-00126282-00126539 virtually every day people are being
2_dwDSwC1bo-00418-00126540-00126839 kidnapped either for rituals or for
2_dwDSwC1bo-00419-00126840-00126977 answer
2_dwDSwC1bo-00420-00126978-00127234 and as a result of this many Nigerians
2_dwDSwC1bo-00421-00127235-00127452 are leaving their
2_dwDSwC1bo-00422-00127453-00127884 locality to a safe safe in court areas
2_dwDSwC1bo-00423-00127885-00128260 some everybody Nigerians are presently
2_dwDSwC1bo-00424-00128261-00128549 in the camp of the terrorists and this
2_dwDSwC1bo-00425-00128550-00128884 set of people does not do not have
2_dwDSwC1bo-00426-00128885-00129197 anything to do with open education the
2_dwDSwC1bo-00427-00129198-00129473 primary thing in the heart is how to be
2_dwDSwC1bo-00428-00129474-00129790 free from the count of the terrorist
2_dwDSwC1bo-00429-00129791-00130102 and because of the insecurity or
2_dwDSwC1bo-00430-00130103-00130445 terrorism in Nigeria how Fati is a
2_dwDSwC1bo-00431-00130446-00130583 rampaging
2_dwDSwC1bo-00432-00130583-00130913 the old nation and if there is poverty
2_dwDSwC1bo-00433-00130914-00131069 in a country
2_dwDSwC1bo-00434-00131070-00131357 having access to open education it is
2_dwDSwC1bo-00435-00131358-00131669 not an issue
2_dwDSwC1bo-00436-00131670-00131993 we also have the issue of race religion
2_dwDSwC1bo-00437-00131994-00132216 geographical location of the educational
2_dwDSwC1bo-00438-00132217-00132521 institutions according to Benson it's
2_dwDSwC1bo-00439-00132522-00132959 all 2021.
2_dwDSwC1bo-00440-00132960-00133402 in conclusion there is clearly a need
2_dwDSwC1bo-00441-00133403-00133661 to evolve a true open and distant
2_dwDSwC1bo-00442-00133662-00133889 education that could cater for all
2_dwDSwC1bo-00443-00133890-00134111 categories of people at all times in
2_dwDSwC1bo-00444-00134112-00134219 Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00445-00134220-00134507 and for open education to be accessible
2_dwDSwC1bo-00446-00134508-00134740 and inclusive
2_dwDSwC1bo-00447-00134741-00135016 we recommend therefore
2_dwDSwC1bo-00448-00135017-00135425 thus the cost of resources
2_dwDSwC1bo-00449-00135426-00135719 must be affordable for students
2_dwDSwC1bo-00450-00135720-00135971 to reduce delays in providing accessible
2_dwDSwC1bo-00451-00135972-00136249 formats
2_dwDSwC1bo-00452-00136250-00136421 infrastructure for the physically
2_dwDSwC1bo-00453-00136422-00136721 challenged be made available that is
2_dwDSwC1bo-00454-00136722-00137009 there should be inclusive infrastructure
2_dwDSwC1bo-00455-00137010-00137351 for open education in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00456-00137352-00137585 we also recommend regular special
2_dwDSwC1bo-00457-00137586-00137839 training and returning for teachers
2_dwDSwC1bo-00458-00137840-00138119 lecturers and Librarians on capacity
2_dwDSwC1bo-00459-00138120-00138419 Beauty so that this set of people can
2_dwDSwC1bo-00460-00138420-00138623 meet up with other teachers and
2_dwDSwC1bo-00461-00138624-00139021 Librarians in the world
2_dwDSwC1bo-00462-00139022-00139409 the National Education policy in Nigeria
2_dwDSwC1bo-00463-00139410-00139823 should be reviewed to include inclusive
2_dwDSwC1bo-00464-00139824-00140569 and Equitable access to open education

2CcHMUV23jA-00001-00000441-00000638 we didn't think this would ever happen a

2CcHMUV23jA-00014-00003450-00003631 have these two inextricably linked
2CcHMUV23jA-00015-00003632-00003863 nations ended up with such vastly
2CcHMUV23jA-00016-00003864-00004151 different attitudes on guns and how did
2CcHMUV23jA-00017-00004152-00004363 this massive change in the UK even
2CcHMUV23jA-00018-00004364-00004667 happen to understand we have to go back
2CcHMUV23jA-00019-00004668-00004966 to 1996 when the dunblane massacre
2CcHMUV23jA-00020-00004967-00005162 changed everything
2CcHMUV23jA-00021-00005163-00005388 [Music]
2CcHMUV23jA-00022-00005389-00005801 a former scout leader with a grudge it
2CcHMUV23jA-00023-00005802-00006113 is a tragedy without precedent 16 tiny
2CcHMUV23jA-00024-00006114-00006368 children died right here at Dunblane
2CcHMUV23jA-00025-00006369-00006638 primary school the massacre carried out
2CcHMUV23jA-00026-00006639-00006892 by a man who had licenses for his guns
2CcHMUV23jA-00027-00006893-00007145 was enough to change the UK's gun laws
2CcHMUV23jA-00028-00007145-00007420 forever what's truly amazing is that by
2CcHMUV23jA-00029-00007422-00007589 the end of the next year it became
2CcHMUV23jA-00030-00007590-00007898 illegal to own a handgun in the UK but
2CcHMUV23jA-00031-00007898-00008180 how did the UK get to that point so fast
2CcHMUV23jA-00032-00008181-00008446 it was mainly due to the activism from
2CcHMUV23jA-00033-00008447-00008689 those personally affected by the attack
2CcHMUV23jA-00034-00008690-00009046 my daughter Sophie was one of the 16
2CcHMUV23jA-00035-00009047-00009283 young children who were shot dead
2CcHMUV23jA-00036-00009284-00009571 Dunblane primary school she and I were
2CcHMUV23jA-00037-00009572-00009808 on our own she was my only child
2CcHMUV23jA-00038-00009809-00010100 dr. mcnaught was an academic before the
2CcHMUV23jA-00039-00010101-00010310 shooting but after he found it
2CcHMUV23jA-00040-00010311-00010568 impossible to return to that life so he
2CcHMUV23jA-00041-00010569-00010757 devoted himself to making sure other
2CcHMUV23jA-00042-00010758-00010997 parents never had to experience his
2CcHMUV23jA-00043-00010998-00011404 agony by becoming a gun control activist
2CcHMUV23jA-00044-00011405-00011663 one of my initial reactions after
2CcHMUV23jA-00045-00011664-00011981 Dunblane was a feeling that this should
2CcHMUV23jA-00046-00011982-00012140 never have happened because the guns
2CcHMUV23jA-00047-00012141-00012395 that the perpetrator used have been too
2CcHMUV23jA-00048-00012396-00012530 easy to come by
2CcHMUV23jA-00049-00012531-00012776 dr. north combined forces with other
2CcHMUV23jA-00050-00012777-00013001 people who were touched by Dunblane like
2CcHMUV23jA-00051-00013002-00013235 former Scottish Labour MP Richard
2CcHMUV23jA-00052-00013236-00013496 Simpson now he was a doctor at the local
2CcHMUV23jA-00053-00013497-00013706 hospital at the time but then after that
2CcHMUV23jA-00054-00013707-00013934 experience he changed his entire career
2CcHMUV23jA-00055-00013935-00014234 became a Labour MP and helped to lead
2CcHMUV23jA-00056-00014235-00014447 the motion to change the gun laws in the
2CcHMUV23jA-00057-00014447-00014738 UK what I discovered was the then
2CcHMUV23jA-00058-00014738-00014912 conservative government was in the
2CcHMUV23jA-00059-00014913-00015122 process of actually seeking to
2CcHMUV23jA-00060-00015122-00015458 deregulate the process by which guns
2CcHMUV23jA-00061-00015459-00015794 were regulated in the United Kingdom and
2CcHMUV23jA-00062-00015794-00016157 that really paranoid these two men were
2CcHMUV23jA-00063-00016158-00016406 part of a movement fighting to be heard
2CcHMUV23jA-00064-00016407-00016679 by politicians residents of Dunblane and
2CcHMUV23jA-00065-00016680-00016937 relatives of victims started speaking
2CcHMUV23jA-00066-00016938-00017156 out and organizing public relations
2CcHMUV23jA-00067-00017157-00017422 campaigns and creating petitions
2CcHMUV23jA-00068-00017423-00017759 politicians weren't necessarily used to
2CcHMUV23jA-00069-00017760-00018025 hearing from the victims of shooting
2CcHMUV23jA-00070-00018026-00018338 incidents everyone who says I enjoy the
2CcHMUV23jA-00071-00018339-00018524 sport I want to hold the gun in my hand
2CcHMUV23jA-00072-00018525-00018821 and have the live ammunition what I say
2CcHMUV23jA-00073-00018822-00019028 is you have those emotions for enjoying
2CcHMUV23jA-00074-00019029-00019280 your sport but feel the emotions of a
2CcHMUV23jA-00075-00019281-00019481 parent who is never going to see their
2CcHMUV23jA-00076-00019482-00019762 child again it was a really a massive
2CcHMUV23jA-00077-00019763-00020075 groundswell a bit like the climate
2CcHMUV23jA-00078-00020076-00020285 extinction movement now it wasn't highly
2CcHMUV23jA-00079-00020286-00020647 coordinated or paid for so we had a
2CcHMUV23jA-00080-00020648-00020852 petition called the snowdrop petition
2CcHMUV23jA-00081-00020853-00021077 which was getting the public to sign up
2CcHMUV23jA-00082-00021078-00021368 for a ban on handguns eventually gaining
2CcHMUV23jA-00083-00021369-00021902 over 700,000 signatures within two years
2CcHMUV23jA-00084-00021903-00022118 a total ban on handguns have been
2CcHMUV23jA-00085-00022119-00022172 injured
2CcHMUV23jA-00086-00022173-00022685 in this country by 1999 over 165,000
2CcHMUV23jA-00087-00022686-00023039 guns and over 700 tons of ammo had been
2CcHMUV23jA-00088-00023040-00023239 surrendered it was a lot of opposition
2CcHMUV23jA-00089-00023240-00023432 to it and it was suggested that it would
2CcHMUV23jA-00090-00023433-00023830 actually badly affect use sports it
2CcHMUV23jA-00091-00023831-00024133 hasn't done so what we do was a major
2CcHMUV23jA-00092-00024134-00024380 achievement and I'm very satisfied with
2CcHMUV23jA-00093-00024381-00024619 what we were able to do Dunblane
2CcHMUV23jA-00094-00024620-00024866 happened the gun laws were overhauled
2CcHMUV23jA-00095-00024867-00025105 before Columbine even happened two years
2CcHMUV23jA-00096-00025106-00025313 earlier it's like the precedent was set
2CcHMUV23jA-00097-00025314-00025466 we knew what was starting to happen
2CcHMUV23jA-00098-00025467-00025765 across the world and two years later on
2CcHMUV23jA-00099-00025766-00026168 April 20th 1999 two teenagers shot and
2CcHMUV23jA-00100-00026169-00026414 killed 12 fellow students and a teacher
2CcHMUV23jA-00101-00026414-00026633 at Columbine High School near Denver
2CcHMUV23jA-00102-00026633-00026720 Colorado
2CcHMUV23jA-00103-00026720-00026942 just like Dunblane did in the UK
2CcHMUV23jA-00104-00026943-00027242 Columbine shocked Americans it wasn't
2CcHMUV23jA-00105-00027243-00027445 the first school shooting in the US but
2CcHMUV23jA-00106-00027447-00027731 those images captured on live TV set
2CcHMUV23jA-00107-00027732-00027917 something off that had ripple effects
2CcHMUV23jA-00108-00027918-00028133 throughout the country and just like in
2CcHMUV23jA-00109-00028133-00028352 Dunblane no one was closer to the
2CcHMUV23jA-00110-00028352-00028658 situation than the victims parents I'm
2CcHMUV23jA-00111-00028658-00028844 the father of Daniel Mouser he was one
2CcHMUV23jA-00112-00028845-00029051 of the students killed at Columbine High
2CcHMUV23jA-00113-00029052-00029371 School he was 15 years old like Mick
2CcHMUV23jA-00114-00029372-00029618 North before him Tom devoted his life to
2CcHMUV23jA-00115-00029619-00029843 fighting for gun control even taking a
2CcHMUV23jA-00116-00029844-00030058 year off from work to lobby at the State
2CcHMUV23jA-00117-00030059-00030281 Capitol just two weeks before Columbine
2CcHMUV23jA-00118-00030282-00030533 as a dinner table Daniel asked me a
2CcHMUV23jA-00119-00030533-00030680 question based on something a
2CcHMUV23jA-00120-00030681-00030902 conversation he had with other members
2CcHMUV23jA-00121-00030902-00031214 of the debate team he said dad did you
2CcHMUV23jA-00122-00031214-00031364 know there were loopholes in the Brady
2CcHMUV23jA-00123-00031364-00031612 Bill Brady bill was a national law that
2CcHMUV23jA-00124-00031613-00031799 requires background checks the purchase
2CcHMUV23jA-00125-00031800-00032170 a gun and I just kind of blew it off he
2CcHMUV23jA-00126-00032172-00032456 was then killed with a gun that was
2CcHMUV23jA-00127-00032457-00032671 purchased through a loophole in the
2CcHMUV23jA-00128-00032672-00032861 Brady Bill I mean how could I not act
2CcHMUV23jA-00129-00032862-00033032 them to me that was very prophetic and
2CcHMUV23jA-00130-00033033-00033269 made me realize that when we have
2CcHMUV23jA-00131-00033270-00033479 loopholes like that but we have so much
2CcHMUV23jA-00132-00033480-00033721 carnage in this country we have to do
2CcHMUV23jA-00133-00033722-00033987 something about it I became very vocal
2CcHMUV23jA-00134-00033988-00034304 active and Tom did make some very real
2CcHMUV23jA-00135-00034305-00034502 progress on a state level so
2CcHMUV23jA-00136-00034503-00034706 after helping to introduce a bill to
2CcHMUV23jA-00137-00034707-00034988 close the same gun show loophole he and
2CcHMUV23jA-00138-00034989-00035306 Daniel had discussed over dinner in 2000
2CcHMUV23jA-00139-00035307-00035495 the public voted and passed Colorado's
2CcHMUV23jA-00140-00035496-00035681 answer to the brady bill by an
2CcHMUV23jA-00141-00035682-00035975 overwhelming majority of about 70%
2CcHMUV23jA-00142-00035976-00036272 I felt that I did something to honor
2CcHMUV23jA-00143-00036273-00036515 Daniel I did something in response to
2CcHMUV23jA-00144-00036516-00036734 something he brought up to me but this
2CcHMUV23jA-00145-00036735-00036923 small victory at the state level in
2CcHMUV23jA-00146-00036924-00037145 Colorado was overshadowed by strong
2CcHMUV23jA-00147-00037146-00037400 national backlash against gun safety
2CcHMUV23jA-00148-00037401-00037721 laws barely a year after Columbine then
2CcHMUV23jA-00149-00037722-00038000 NRA president Charlton Heston gave this
2CcHMUV23jA-00150-00038001-00038585 famous threat from my cold dead hands in
2CcHMUV23jA-00151-00038586-00038966 America we are so wrapped up in
2CcHMUV23jA-00152-00038967-00039218 individualism and rights do we say well
2CcHMUV23jA-00153-00039219-00039368 no we can't do that because it might
2CcHMUV23jA-00154-00039369-00039671 possibly affect my rights and for a lot
2CcHMUV23jA-00155-00039672-00039856 of people that's more important than
2CcHMUV23jA-00156-00039857-00040181 what could possibly happen to them or
2CcHMUV23jA-00157-00040182-00040391 their neighbors it's a cultural issue
2CcHMUV23jA-00158-00040392-00040646 that is very starkly different between
2CcHMUV23jA-00159-00040647-00040772 US and other nations
2CcHMUV23jA-00160-00040773-00040997 I think it's shameful in the u.s. that
2CcHMUV23jA-00161-00040998-00041264 we have failed to really react in any
2CcHMUV23jA-00162-00041265-00041573 any significant way since Columbine the
2CcHMUV23jA-00163-00041574-00041756 narrative in the u.s. around gun rights
2CcHMUV23jA-00164-00041757-00041977 and gun control has only become more
2CcHMUV23jA-00165-00041978-00042281 polarizing restricting law-abiding
2CcHMUV23jA-00166-00042282-00042488 Americans from acquiring guns is
2CcHMUV23jA-00167-00042489-00042734 obviously unconstitutional is it time to
2CcHMUV23jA-00168-00042735-00043004 repeal the Second Amendment the left has
2CcHMUV23jA-00169-00043005-00043280 their rigid radical anti-gun agenda hell
2CcHMUV23jA-00170-00043281-00043483 yes we're gonna take your ar-15 your
2CcHMUV23jA-00171-00043484-00043844 ak-47 in the US barely any federal gun
2CcHMUV23jA-00172-00043845-00044042 control laws have passed since Columbine
2CcHMUV23jA-00173-00044043-00044354 in fact experts say the most significant
2CcHMUV23jA-00174-00044355-00044543 change in gun laws is when politicians
2CcHMUV23jA-00175-00044544-00044795 let the clinton-era assault weapons ban
2CcHMUV23jA-00176-00044796-00045116 expire in 2004 making assault weapons
2CcHMUV23jA-00177-00045117-00045233 like ar-fifteens
2CcHMUV23jA-00178-00045234-00045509 legal again since then the ar-15 has
2CcHMUV23jA-00179-00045510-00045749 been used in almost every notable mass
2CcHMUV23jA-00180-00045750-00045965 shooting in America and the problem
2CcHMUV23jA-00181-00045966-00046256 continues to get worse the US has more
2CcHMUV23jA-00182-00046257-00046487 firearms per person than any other
2CcHMUV23jA-00183-00046488-00046691 country in the world and it's the only
2CcHMUV23jA-00184-00046692-00046916 country in the world that has more guns
2CcHMUV23jA-00185-00046917-00046999 than
2CcHMUV23jA-00186-00047000-00047269 people and the u.s. gun homicide rate is
2CcHMUV23jA-00187-00047270-00047560 25 times that of other high-income
2CcHMUV23jA-00188-00047561-00047899 countries including the UK the main
2CcHMUV23jA-00189-00047900-00048226 problem is not necessarily the Second
2CcHMUV23jA-00190-00048227-00048445 Amendment but how that has been
2CcHMUV23jA-00191-00048446-00048757 interpreted in America there needs to be
2CcHMUV23jA-00192-00048758-00048949 an understanding of how to tighten the
2CcHMUV23jA-00193-00048950-00049255 law without grossly infringing on what
2CcHMUV23jA-00194-00049256-00049522 are perceived as rights under the Second
2CcHMUV23jA-00195-00049523-00049786 Amendment but it does seem ridiculous to
2CcHMUV23jA-00196-00049787-00050089 use the words of the founding fathers to
2CcHMUV23jA-00197-00050090-00050350 decide how you control or don't control
2CcHMUV23jA-00198-00050351-00050575 weapons that are usually used in war
2CcHMUV23jA-00199-00050576-00050806 zones there have been so many mass
2CcHMUV23jA-00200-00050807-00050989 shootings since Columbine that many
2CcHMUV23jA-00201-00050990-00051274 Americans feel hopeless about reform the
2CcHMUV23jA-00202-00051275-00051523 fact remains however that 61% of
2CcHMUV23jA-00203-00051524-00051739 Americans do support stricter gun laws
2CcHMUV23jA-00204-00051740-00051973 and there are many potential changes
2CcHMUV23jA-00205-00051974-00052195 such as closing the gun show loophole or
2CcHMUV23jA-00206-00052196-00052383 restricting assault weapons that would

2CcHMUV23jA-00212-00053629-00053887 willing to change the laws and perhaps
2CcHMUV23jA-00213-00053888-00054262 they'll come a time when enough people
2CcHMUV23jA-00214-00054263-00054535 vote in politicians who will be
2CcHMUV23jA-00215-00054536-00054748 supportive of the gun control measures
2CcHMUV23jA-00216-00054749-00054991 that America needs and deserves

2KCyacPycTu-00051-00010547-00010692 address and password you just created
2KCyacPycTu-00052-00010693-00010924 next up you need to select the version
2KCyacPycTu-00053-00010925-00011017 of the software that you want to
2KCyacPycTu-00054-00011018-00011260 download you can see that Autodesk offer
2KCyacPycTu-00055-00011261-00011423 a few earlier versions as well as the
2KCyacPycTu-00056-00011424-00011614 latest I am upgrading today so I'm
2KCyacPycTu-00057-00011615-00011896 choosing my 2017 you'll then select the
2KCyacPycTu-00058-00011897-00012044 operating system you're using and
2KCyacPycTu-00059-00012045-00012331 language you can now get the software
2KCyacPycTu-00060-00012332-00012584 installed you'll usually just want to
2KCyacPycTu-00061-00012585-00012799 click on install now but if you click on
2KCyacPycTu-00062-00012800-00012919 the little arrow to the right of the
2KCyacPycTu-00063-00012920-00013069 button you'll see that there are some
2KCyacPycTu-00064-00013070-00013226 other options as well
2KCyacPycTu-00065-00013227-00013427 if there's some reason the Install Now
2KCyacPycTu-00066-00013428-00013672 option isn't working for you I recommend
2KCyacPycTu-00067-00013674-00013844 trying the browser download option
2KCyacPycTu-00068-00013844-00014051 anyway it's fine for me so I'm selecting
2KCyacPycTu-00069-00014052-00014113 Install Now
2KCyacPycTu-00070-00014115-00014333 accept the license and service agreement
2KCyacPycTu-00071-00014334-00014534 and click install a file will now be
2KCyacPycTu-00072-00014535-00014876 downloaded once it's done open it this
2KCyacPycTu-00073-00014877-00015077 is the installer that will then be a
2KCyacPycTu-00074-00015078-00015272 small download and then the Installer
2KCyacPycTu-00075-00015272-00015544 will open properly in the Installer you
2KCyacPycTu-00076-00015546-00015697 can choose the option to install Meyer
2KCyacPycTu-00077-00015699-00015962 on your computer this screen lets you
2KCyacPycTu-00078-00015963-00016115 choose which components you want to
2KCyacPycTu-00079-00016116-00016363 install i recommend installing both maya
2KCyacPycTu-00080-00016365-00016616 and arnold once you're happy with your
2KCyacPycTu-00081-00016617-00016840 selections click on the install button
2KCyacPycTu-00082-00016841-00017102 now the installer will download and
2KCyacPycTu-00083-00017103-00017294 install everything needed this is a
2KCyacPycTu-00084-00017295-00017465 pretty big download so the time it takes
2KCyacPycTu-00085-00017466-00017633 will depend on your connection speed and
2KCyacPycTu-00086-00017634-00017885 how busy the arts desk servers are it
2KCyacPycTu-00087-00017886-00018002 downloaded everything in around
2KCyacPycTu-00088-00018003-00018206 twenty-five minutes for me I've sped it
2KCyacPycTu-00089-00018207-00018335 up in editing because I thought that I'd
2KCyacPycTu-00090-00018336-00018467 be a bit better than looking at an
2KCyacPycTu-00091-00018468-00018713 installer for twenty-five minutes once
2KCyacPycTu-00092-00018714-00018863 everything is installed you'll be

2KCyacPycTu-00096-00019488-00019675 now close the Installer and open Maya
2KCyacPycTu-00097-00019676-00019883 you'll see that it automatically
2KCyacPycTu-00098-00019884-00020114 verifies your license and once that's
2KCyacPycTu-00099-00020115-00020282 done you'll be good to go that was easy
2KCyacPycTu-00100-00020283-00020339 wasn't it

2MjXhNKyTEE-00289-00068536-00068926 i think about the mid 1700s
2MjXhNKyTEE-00290-00068927-00069167 but on that she would explain who

2MjXhNKyTEE-00314-00074072-00074247 i believe it was presented by thomas
2MjXhNKyTEE-00315-00074248-00074382 jefferson
2MjXhNKyTEE-00316-00074383-00074738 but he also got to during a
2MjXhNKyTEE-00317-00074739-00075119 1792-1793 delegation to washington d.c
2MjXhNKyTEE-00318-00075120-00075326 uh he got to meet president george
2MjXhNKyTEE-00319-00075327-00075471 washington or
2MjXhNKyTEE-00320-00075472-00075623 former president george washington i
2MjXhNKyTEE-00321-00075624-00075871 guess at that time um
2MjXhNKyTEE-00322-00075872-00076103 but yeah i mean he very instrumental in
2MjXhNKyTEE-00323-00076104-00076343 just cherokee history uh the other thing
2MjXhNKyTEE-00324-00076344-00076503 she taught me is you know in tahlequah
2MjXhNKyTEE-00325-00076504-00076743 oklahoma they have the cherokee heritage
2MjXhNKyTEE-00326-00076744-00077038 center so it's a it's an old village of
2MjXhNKyTEE-00327-00077039-00077375 what it would would look like
2MjXhNKyTEE-00328-00077376-00077575 you know the 1700s
2MjXhNKyTEE-00329-00077576-00077838 but they also had a play there

2MjXhNKyTEE-00331-00078039-00078350 but it's very similar similar to what's
2MjXhNKyTEE-00332-00078351-00078487 done in the eastern band of the
2MjXhNKyTEE-00333-00078488-00078655 cherokees in north carolina
2MjXhNKyTEE-00334-00078656-00078894 a play called unto these hills it's a
2MjXhNKyTEE-00335-00078895-00079006 little bit different because it talks
2MjXhNKyTEE-00336-00079007-00079255 about the trail of tears

2MjXhNKyTEE-00475-00108535-00108719 really matters and and so there's a
2MjXhNKyTEE-00476-00108720-00108934 there's a young you know a young man or

2MjXhNKyTEE-00540-00122400-00122575 saw the world and then i joined the
2MjXhNKyTEE-00541-00122576-00122799 military and i learned a whole bunch of
2MjXhNKyTEE-00542-00122800-00122983 different things where i had to kind of
2MjXhNKyTEE-00543-00122983-00123175 unlearn some stuff and learn some new
2MjXhNKyTEE-00544-00123176-00123407 stuff and i was able to kind of kind of

2MjXhNKyTEE-00549-00124296-00124510 other than uh too many times and try to
2MjXhNKyTEE-00550-00124511-00124678 give them some type of uh you know
2MjXhNKyTEE-00551-00124679-00124839 lessons that i've i've learned along the
2MjXhNKyTEE-00552-00124840-00125023 way are you able to do that uh with the
2MjXhNKyTEE-00553-00125024-00125199 with the cherokee nation
2MjXhNKyTEE-00554-00125200-00125407 uh not so much with the cherokee nation
2MjXhNKyTEE-00555-00125408-00125686 yet uh some things are in the works uh
2MjXhNKyTEE-00556-00125688-00126095 uh you know at the rotc program uh that
2MjXhNKyTEE-00557-00126096-00126343 that i was brought up in um
2MjXhNKyTEE-00558-00126344-00126614 and then given some potentially veterans
2MjXhNKyTEE-00559-00126615-00126878 awards are at a veterans ceremony for
2MjXhNKyTEE-00560-00126879-00127151 the cherokee nation um and interesting
2MjXhNKyTEE-00561-00127152-00127319 enough you know the the college that i
2MjXhNKyTEE-00562-00127320-00127623 came from uh the rotc program shut down
2MjXhNKyTEE-00563-00127624-00127854 after i was commissioned uh
2MjXhNKyTEE-00564-00127855-00128014 and there were
2MjXhNKyTEE-00565-00128015-00128247 there there were uh yeah
2MjXhNKyTEE-00566-00128248-00128495 imagine that right um
2MjXhNKyTEE-00567-00128496-00128614 so
2MjXhNKyTEE-00568-00128615-00128847 there were specs of us commissioned and
2MjXhNKyTEE-00569-00128848-00129127 this these are pretty good odds but uh
2MjXhNKyTEE-00570-00129128-00129327 out of that those six
2MjXhNKyTEE-00571-00129328-00129463 you have one guy that retired as a
2MjXhNKyTEE-00572-00129464-00129751 lieutenant colonel uh three colonels and
2MjXhNKyTEE-00573-00129752-00129958 two general officers
2MjXhNKyTEE-00574-00129959-00130183 so it's it's actually when you look at
2MjXhNKyTEE-00575-00130183-00130686 the percentage-wise it's pretty amazing
2MjXhNKyTEE-00576-00130688-00130934 but yeah so so what i do today uh i
2MjXhNKyTEE-00577-00130935-00131143 haven't really got back specifically to
2MjXhNKyTEE-00578-00131144-00131335 the cherokee nation yet probably need to
2MjXhNKyTEE-00579-00131336-00131687 reach out to to some jrotc things but i
2MjXhNKyTEE-00580-00131688-00131943 have done quite a few jrotc
2MjXhNKyTEE-00581-00131944-00132039 talks

2MjXhNKyTEE-00589-00133928-00134127 just go back to values and being a part
2MjXhNKyTEE-00590-00134128-00134311 of something bigger in yourself and just

2MjXhNKyTEE-00686-00156240-00156431 your story up but i know you noticed
2MjXhNKyTEE-00687-00156432-00156702 that on the dog tags that you uh it had
2MjXhNKyTEE-00688-00156703-00156871 religion but it didn't have an
2MjXhNKyTEE-00689-00156872-00157135 opportunity to put a tribal your tribe
2MjXhNKyTEE-00690-00157136-00157335 on on the dog taste so can you

2MjXhNKyTEE-00697-00158624-00158878 because it was a no preference for us on
2MjXhNKyTEE-00698-00158879-00159023 the dog tags
2MjXhNKyTEE-00699-00159024-00159199 and being deployed

2MjXhNKyTEE-00702-00159703-00159966 native americans were seen as
2MjXhNKyTEE-00703-00159967-00160207 something else so that really hit home
2MjXhNKyTEE-00704-00160208-00160295 for me
2MjXhNKyTEE-00705-00160296-00160495 um so i wanted to bring that back to us
2MjXhNKyTEE-00706-00160496-00160647 and make sure that we are being
2MjXhNKyTEE-00707-00160648-00160823 recognized not just during native

2OXYz2q9244-00010-00003452-00003604 long story but I'll keep it real short
2OXYz2q9244-00011-00003604-00004090 um around the age of actually my parents
2OXYz2q9244-00012-00004090-00004276 introduced me to some basic sort of
2OXYz2q9244-00013-00004277-00004687 meditation and subconscious mind control
2OXYz2q9244-00014-00004688-00004861 like mind control of yourself
2OXYz2q9244-00015-00004862-00005197 kinds of techniques at the a chive like
2OXYz2q9244-00016-00005198-00005476 1011 I started reading some spiritual
2OXYz2q9244-00017-00005477-00005785 books and then I kind of forgot about it
2OXYz2q9244-00018-00005786-00006109 until the age of 15 or so at which point
2OXYz2q9244-00019-00006110-00006502 I gained this burning desire for what at
2OXYz2q9244-00020-00006503-00006706 the time I called enlightenment I still
2OXYz2q9244-00021-00006706-00006958 called it that sometimes but I just
2OXYz2q9244-00022-00006959-00007126 wanted to know the source of life the
2OXYz2q9244-00023-00007127-00007336 source behind all these appearances
2OXYz2q9244-00024-00007337-00007663 everything that we know and so I started
2OXYz2q9244-00025-00007664-00008119 off on quite an intense journey of just
2OXYz2q9244-00026-00008120-00008437 daily seeking and reading and went to
2OXYz2q9244-00027-00008438-00008614 live in India for a while wanted to seek
2OXYz2q9244-00028-00008615-00008905 the source kind of of yoga in Rishikesh
2OXYz2q9244-00029-00008906-00009427 and visited you know gurus and Swami's
2OXYz2q9244-00030-00009428-00010134 and that kind of stuff and yeah
2OXYz2q9244-00031-00010135-00010263 some point I just kind of found what I
2OXYz2q9244-00032-00010264-00010437 was looking for and ever since it's been
2OXYz2q9244-00033-00010438-00010617 deepening and I've been sharing this
2OXYz2q9244-00034-00010618-00010923 message for about 10 or 11 years at this
2OXYz2q9244-00035-00010924-00011283 point and again super short version but
2OXYz2q9244-00036-00011284-00011728 yeah it's been a it's been a trippy trip
2OXYz2q9244-00037-00011729-00011988 yeah what what was it that you were
2OXYz2q9244-00038-00011989-00012366 looking for the ultimate whatever the
2OXYz2q9244-00039-00012367-00012720 ultimate was in my mind at that point I
2OXYz2q9244-00040-00012721-00012924 called it the source of everything I
2OXYz2q9244-00041-00012925-00013088 realized that about what a master any
2OXYz2q9244-00042-00013089-00013410 aspect of life I first have to know the
2OXYz2q9244-00043-00013411-00013818 source of life and so the first book I
2OXYz2q9244-00044-00013819-00014063 kind of came across that really was a
2OXYz2q9244-00045-00014065-00014268 match to the intensity of my desire for
2OXYz2q9244-00046-00014269-00014637 for that freedom for that truth was do
2OXYz2q9244-00047-00014638-00014871 yoga sutras of Patanjali which goes
2OXYz2q9244-00048-00014872-00015033 greatly in-depth on the art of
2OXYz2q9244-00049-00015034-00015327 meditation concentration Samadhi it's
2OXYz2q9244-00050-00015328-00015541 not about physical postures so much and
2OXYz2q9244-00051-00015543-00015810 so that kind of set me off on that sort
2OXYz2q9244-00052-00015811-00016325 of yoga track of enlightenment and yeah
2OXYz2q9244-00053-00016326-00016515 I just wanted to know the source of life
2OXYz2q9244-00054-00016516-00016850 I just wanted to find a solution to sort
2OXYz2q9244-00055-00016851-00017205 of all the suffering and all the what
2OXYz2q9244-00056-00017206-00017409 seemed to me to be fairly misguided
2OXYz2q9244-00057-00017410-00017688 ideas that run rampant throughout our
2OXYz2q9244-00058-00017689-00017975 society and just felt there is more
2OXYz2q9244-00059-00017976-00018168 possible that in fact everything is
2OXYz2q9244-00060-00018169-00018447 possible and that I owed it to myself
2OXYz2q9244-00061-00018448-00018758 and I owed it to in a sense everybody to
2OXYz2q9244-00062-00018759-00019062 find out something really true about
2OXYz2q9244-00063-00019063-00019437 life and do my best to distill that
2OXYz2q9244-00064-00019438-00019661 message to synthesize those sort of
2OXYz2q9244-00065-00019662-00020075 pathways into a modern-day
2OXYz2q9244-00066-00020076-00020381 understandable methodology of practicing
2OXYz2q9244-00067-00020382-00020678 and and realizing that which I began to
2OXYz2q9244-00068-00020679-00021015 realize around the age of eighteen proud
2OXYz2q9244-00069-00021016-00021177 of all incredible yeah thank you for
2OXYz2q9244-00070-00021178-00021450 your doing that for the planet we
2OXYz2q9244-00071-00021451-00021549 appreciate it
2OXYz2q9244-00072-00021550-00021924 okay so the topic you chose to speak
2OXYz2q9244-00073-00021925-00022106 about today is the immense power of
2OXYz2q9244-00074-00022107-00022383 bliss so I want to ask you what is bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00075-00022384-00022955 as you see it lists
2OXYz2q9244-00076-00022956-00023303 is hard to describe
2OXYz2q9244-00077-00023304-00023572 it's not an object first of all in our
2OXYz2q9244-00078-00023573-00023789 lives we are so used to chasing after
2OXYz2q9244-00079-00023790-00024047 sense perceptions we're so used to
2OXYz2q9244-00080-00024048-00024361 looking at life we call it the world but
2OXYz2q9244-00081-00024362-00024605 life is bigger than the world of what we
2OXYz2q9244-00082-00024606-00025033 perceive um but we're so used to trying
2OXYz2q9244-00083-00025034-00025228 to find the truth of life trying to find
2OXYz2q9244-00084-00025229-00025388 the meaning of life the purpose of life
2OXYz2q9244-00085-00025389-00025564 the source of life enlightenment and so
2OXYz2q9244-00086-00025565-00025987 forth by looking at life through the
2OXYz2q9244-00087-00025988-00026227 senses at which point life is collapsed
2OXYz2q9244-00088-00026228-00026446 back to the world of objects subject
2OXYz2q9244-00089-00026447-00026714 object relationship I knew I had to go
2OXYz2q9244-00090-00026714-00026861 deeper than the intellect I knew I had
2OXYz2q9244-00091-00026862-00027118 to go deeper than the senses and then
2OXYz2q9244-00092-00027119-00027268 the books and scriptures that I started
2OXYz2q9244-00093-00027269-00027554 to study confirmed that suspicion so I
2OXYz2q9244-00094-00027555-00027752 started to look beyond the census and
2OXYz2q9244-00095-00027752-00028193 beyond the intellect and I found that in
2OXYz2q9244-00096-00028194-00028537 very simple terms perhaps the very
2OXYz2q9244-00097-00028538-00028787 nature of what we are what were
2OXYz2q9244-00098-00028788-00028949 inundated with the very source of life
2OXYz2q9244-00099-00028950-00029231 the very essence of all phenomena he has
2OXYz2q9244-00100-00029232-00029527 already bliss that if you want to put it
2OXYz2q9244-00101-00029528-00029807 that way the core frequency that's sort
2OXYz2q9244-00102-00029808-00029983 of behind the vibration of everything
2OXYz2q9244-00103-00029984-00030305 else is actually a vibration of what we
2OXYz2q9244-00104-00030306-00030680 would describe as bliss or love or peace
2OXYz2q9244-00105-00030681-00031133 or tonal freedom and in contrast to my
2OXYz2q9244-00106-00031133-00031301 suffering as I started to practice these
2OXYz2q9244-00107-00031302-00031574 methods and start to dive beyond my mind
2OXYz2q9244-00108-00031575-00031849 so to speak and beyond the senses I
2OXYz2q9244-00109-00031850-00032156 became acutely aware of the difference
2OXYz2q9244-00110-00032157-00032512 between the the focus that most of
2OXYz2q9244-00111-00032513-00032740 us spent most of our time in that brings
2OXYz2q9244-00112-00032741-00032971 a suffering and worry and concern and
2OXYz2q9244-00113-00032972-00033335 ill health and so forth and between that
2OXYz2q9244-00114-00033336-00033620 and a focus on service nature aliy
2OXYz2q9244-00115-00033621-00033899 ever-present timeless wide open space
2OXYz2q9244-00116-00033900-00034133 that's always already here it was kind
2OXYz2q9244-00117-00034134-00034298 of the start of my awakening if you will
2OXYz2q9244-00118-00034299-00034583 this the beginning of finding what I was
2OXYz2q9244-00119-00034584-00034904 searching was to recognition that none
2OXYz2q9244-00120-00034905-00035254 of the objects in my existence
2OXYz2q9244-00121-00035255-00035515 can satisfy this desire for truth this
2OXYz2q9244-00122-00035516-00035722 desire for the source this desire for
2OXYz2q9244-00123-00035723-00035977 the solution to suffering but there is a
2OXYz2q9244-00124-00035978-00036328 much deeper subtler component of my very
2OXYz2q9244-00125-00036329-00036493 own beingness my very own nature that's
2OXYz2q9244-00126-00036494-00036655 already present my very own
2OXYz2q9244-00127-00036656-00036856 consciousness that which hears these
2OXYz2q9244-00128-00036857-00037066 words right now that which is hearing
2OXYz2q9244-00129-00037067-00037237 this dialogue which is witnessing this
2OXYz2q9244-00130-00037238-00037621 experience and as I started to become
2OXYz2q9244-00131-00037622-00037773 more aware of that
2OXYz2q9244-00132-00037774-00038023 naturally a costless bliss would
2OXYz2q9244-00133-00038024-00038389 overtake me is like this freedom this
2OXYz2q9244-00134-00038390-00038668 explosive expanse of just like utter joy
2OXYz2q9244-00135-00038669-00038851 and like indescribable freedom and
2OXYz2q9244-00136-00038852-00039052 indestructibility and invincibility and
2OXYz2q9244-00137-00039053-00039334 so forth so this eternal timeless
2OXYz2q9244-00138-00039335-00039532 presence that's always at the root of
2OXYz2q9244-00139-00039533-00039874 our every experience is here and that's
2OXYz2q9244-00140-00039875-00040087 what I call bliss and it's immense in
2OXYz2q9244-00141-00040088-00040264 its power because it is actually the
2OXYz2q9244-00142-00040265-00040624 core essential intelligence that you
2OXYz2q9244-00143-00040625-00040783 know puts earth in its orbit and that
2OXYz2q9244-00144-00040784-00041007 makes everything tick and that is
2OXYz2q9244-00145-00041008-00041359 responsible for anything whatsoever that
2OXYz2q9244-00146-00041360-00041769 we are able to perceive so bliss is in
2OXYz2q9244-00147-00041770-00042004 maybe those were not very simple terms
2OXYz2q9244-00148-00042005-00042319 but it's it's the essence of what we are
2OXYz2q9244-00149-00042320-00042565 and it's in essence already here it's in
2OXYz2q9244-00150-00042566-00042814 truth already here but we overlook it by
2OXYz2q9244-00151-00042815-00043000 focusing on the sense perceptions and
2OXYz2q9244-00152-00043001-00043246 our thoughts about the sense perceptions
2OXYz2q9244-00153-00043247-00043429 but there's a whole realm of existence
2OXYz2q9244-00154-00043430-00043693 available to us beyond our sense
2OXYz2q9244-00155-00043694-00043888 perceptions and beyond our descriptions
2OXYz2q9244-00156-00043889-00044236 of our sense perceptions so I encourage
2OXYz2q9244-00157-00044237-00044437 people to find out what that is in their
2OXYz2q9244-00158-00044438-00044662 direct experience an appoint to it as
2OXYz2q9244-00159-00044663-00045034 right as letting people know that it's
2OXYz2q9244-00160-00045035-00045247 in truth already here it's not something
2OXYz2q9244-00161-00045248-00045400 we have to become it's just something we
2OXYz2q9244-00162-00045401-00045595 need to recognize we're overlooking it
2OXYz2q9244-00163-00045596-00045667 as we speak
2OXYz2q9244-00164-00045668-00045874 but when we become subtler in our
2OXYz2q9244-00165-00045875-00046108 attention and earnest in our desire for
2OXYz2q9244-00166-00046109-00046345 freedom and for the truth of life itself
2OXYz2q9244-00167-00046346-00046543 not just worldly perceptions but the
2OXYz2q9244-00168-00046544-00046762 source of life itself of existence
2OXYz2q9244-00169-00046763-00047038 itself we kind of fall back on this
2OXYz2q9244-00170-00047039-00047434 principle of I exist of I simply exist
2OXYz2q9244-00171-00047435-00047656 right here right now and a more we tap
2OXYz2q9244-00172-00047657-00047947 into that the more this
2OXYz2q9244-00173-00047948-00048190 the nature of that which is bliss in
2OXYz2q9244-00174-00048191-00048388 Indiana collet sat-chit-ananda existence
2OXYz2q9244-00175-00048389-00048733 consciousness bliss as it kind of starts
2OXYz2q9244-00176-00048734-00049060 to emanate into our perception very
2OXYz2q9244-00177-00049061-00049261 effortlessly it's a causeless bliss it's
2OXYz2q9244-00178-00049262-00049504 not something that's produced by a cause
2OXYz2q9244-00179-00049505-00049824 and an effect it's not gratifying it is
2OXYz2q9244-00180-00049825-00050050 fulfilment itself and it's already at
2OXYz2q9244-00181-00050051-00050248 the heart of our every experience just
2OXYz2q9244-00182-00050249-00050760 we overlook it mm-hmm and how can you
2OXYz2q9244-00183-00050761-00051172 help people to to stop overlooking this
2OXYz2q9244-00184-00051173-00051589 - to tap into this - to experience it
2OXYz2q9244-00185-00051590-00051859 other practices that you could share to
2OXYz2q9244-00186-00051860-00052155 guide people into experiencing bless
2OXYz2q9244-00187-00052157-00052449 more often absolutely um
2OXYz2q9244-00188-00052450-00052858 the primary the requirement of people is
2OXYz2q9244-00189-00052859-00053152 to desire for it because I teach the
2OXYz2q9244-00190-00053153-00053398 methods and it really depends for some
2OXYz2q9244-00191-00053399-00053548 people at lance immediately under any
2OXYz2q9244-00192-00053549-00053758 get a sense of that bliss even if it's
2OXYz2q9244-00193-00053759-00053899 just intuitive even if it's just a
2OXYz2q9244-00194-00053900-00054192 glimpse which is already revelatory it's
2OXYz2q9244-00195-00054194-00054361 already greatly awakening and it's
2OXYz2q9244-00196-00054362-00054504 already showing us that there is a
2OXYz2q9244-00197-00054505-00054784 different way to approach our attention
2OXYz2q9244-00198-00054785-00055108 our consciousness but even if I teach
2OXYz2q9244-00199-00055109-00055525 the methods it often Lentz on deaf ears
2OXYz2q9244-00200-00055526-00055798 because people don't have the actual
2OXYz2q9244-00201-00055799-00056154 interest so yes I can I can share a
2OXYz2q9244-00202-00056155-00056344 couple methods right now if you want but
2OXYz2q9244-00203-00056345-00056622 um I just want to preface that by by
2OXYz2q9244-00204-00056623-00056812 acknowledging that what's really
2OXYz2q9244-00205-00056813-00057100 required is a deep interest in this and
2OXYz2q9244-00206-00057101-00057304 like I had that deep yearning I had that
2OXYz2q9244-00207-00057304-00057616 urgent sort of search for it so in my
2OXYz2q9244-00208-00057616-00057767 case I embraced it a whole heartedly
2OXYz2q9244-00209-00057769-00058009 these types of practices and these types
2OXYz2q9244-00210-00058010-00058294 of recognitions but again even if I were
2OXYz2q9244-00211-00058295-00058713 to share it right now which I can do in
2OXYz2q9244-00212-00058714-00059071 many cases were so obsessed with our
2OXYz2q9244-00213-00059072-00059280 sense perceptions that will continue to
2OXYz2q9244-00214-00059282-00059470 overlook it and we'll kind of maybe we
2OXYz2q9244-00215-00059471-00059616 have a short glimpse but we'll dismiss
2OXYz2q9244-00216-00059617-00059788 it because there's so much out there
2OXYz2q9244-00217-00059789-00059977 that we've trained ourselves to be so
2OXYz2q9244-00218-00059978-00060223 fascinated by right and therefore we
2OXYz2q9244-00219-00060224-00060403 overlook the bliss the purchased bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00220-00060404-00060610 is super subtle it's like this there's a
2OXYz2q9244-00221-00060611-00060780 whisper while you're standing in a crowd
2OXYz2q9244-00222-00060782-00061084 during a Metallica concert and you got
2OXYz2q9244-00223-00061085-00061329 to learn - you got to learn to dial in
2OXYz2q9244-00224-00061329-00061604 the subtlety and kind of be able to tune
2OXYz2q9244-00225-00061605-00061955 out your attention on the census um so
2OXYz2q9244-00226-00061957-00062351 with that being said I'm happy to give a
2OXYz2q9244-00227-00062352-00062555 couple of examples of practices if you
2OXYz2q9244-00228-00062557-00062819 want yeah that would be great but and
2OXYz2q9244-00229-00062820-00063167 totally understood mmm cool all right so
2OXYz2q9244-00230-00063169-00063613 again I realized then that bliss is
2OXYz2q9244-00231-00063614-00063846 before we get into its power its power
2OXYz2q9244-00232-00063847-00064053 to transform the things that we do see
2OXYz2q9244-00233-00064054-00064280 with our senses we got to understand
2OXYz2q9244-00234-00064282-00064548 that bliss is like the essence of the
2OXYz2q9244-00235-00064549-00064761 wave if the wave represents the
2OXYz2q9244-00236-00064762-00065061 individual again very simplistic analogy
2OXYz2q9244-00237-00065062-00065267 but it's actually very accurate as a man
2OXYz2q9244-00238-00065269-00065525 as far as an analogy can go so if we
2OXYz2q9244-00239-00065526-00065766 consider ourselves our mind/body/spirit
2OXYz2q9244-00240-00065767-00066200 complex our individual sense or idea of
2OXYz2q9244-00241-00066201-00066441 what we are even if we boil it down to
2OXYz2q9244-00242-00066442-00066731 an even more surface level idea which is
2OXYz2q9244-00243-00066732-00066987 what most people call me when they refer
2OXYz2q9244-00244-00066988-00067160 to their person their character their
2OXYz2q9244-00245-00067161-00067410 sense of being the physical body in this
2OXYz2q9244-00246-00067411-00067631 physical world right it comes with a
2OXYz2q9244-00247-00067632-00067800 sense of personality with a sense of
2OXYz2q9244-00248-00067801-00068380 let's call it ego and
2OXYz2q9244-00249-00068381-00068584 take this individual and this represents
2OXYz2q9244-00250-00068585-00068941 the wave what's important to realize
2OXYz2q9244-00251-00068942-00069145 again is that bliss is not something
2OXYz2q9244-00252-00069146-00069487 that the wave will achieve one day it's
2OXYz2q9244-00253-00069488-00069664 not something that the wave is moving
2OXYz2q9244-00254-00069665-00069994 towards bliss is water in this analogy
2OXYz2q9244-00255-00069995-00070363 and again hence the word overlooking the
2OXYz2q9244-00256-00070364-00070546 wave overlooks the fact that it's that
2OXYz2q9244-00257-00070547-00070921 oceanic water so what we want to do is
2OXYz2q9244-00258-00070922-00071155 we want to take our individuated spark
2OXYz2q9244-00259-00071156-00071455 of attention our consciousness that
2OXYz2q9244-00260-00071456-00071989 which right now is aware of my voice so
2OXYz2q9244-00261-00071990-00072385 the viewers or listeners right now have
2OXYz2q9244-00262-00072386-00072664 to acknowledge in a sense or they cannot
2OXYz2q9244-00263-00072665-00072951 deny that they're aware of my voice and
2OXYz2q9244-00264-00072952-00073300 also they don't have to do anything for
2OXYz2q9244-00265-00073301-00073465 that they don't have to think about what
2OXYz2q9244-00266-00073466-00073732 I say they may not even consciously hear
2OXYz2q9244-00267-00073733-00073921 what I'm saying but if they look
2OXYz2q9244-00268-00073922-00074230 directly at their experience instead of
2OXYz2q9244-00269-00074231-00074404 thinking about it but they're directly
2OXYz2q9244-00270-00074405-00074617 look at our current experience at your
2OXYz2q9244-00271-00074618-00074907 present experience you can acknowledge
2OXYz2q9244-00272-00074908-00075195 there is something there is a quality of
2OXYz2q9244-00273-00075196-00075448 cognizance there is a quality of clarity
2OXYz2q9244-00274-00075449-00075675 there's a quality of awareness that
2OXYz2q9244-00275-00075676-00075886 effortlessly here's what I'm saying
2OXYz2q9244-00276-00075887-00076141 whether or not you understand whether or
2OXYz2q9244-00277-00076142-00076327 not you may agree whether or not you're
2OXYz2q9244-00278-00076328-00076579 describing what I'm saying there is
2OXYz2q9244-00279-00076580-00076780 something deeper than our descriptions
2OXYz2q9244-00280-00076781-00076921 about this moment there's something
2OXYz2q9244-00281-00076922-00077119 deeper than our sense perceptions of
2OXYz2q9244-00282-00077120-00077359 this moment and that deeper something
2OXYz2q9244-00283-00077360-00077599 has consciousness or you could say is
2OXYz2q9244-00284-00077600-00077917 consciousness so this is the first
2OXYz2q9244-00285-00077918-00078199 recognition is that there is a
2OXYz2q9244-00286-00078200-00078418 consciousness conscious presence and
2OXYz2q9244-00287-00078419-00078634 aware presence that is right now
2OXYz2q9244-00288-00078635-00078880 effortlessly registering whatever I'm
2OXYz2q9244-00289-00078881-00079156 experiencing with the senses and beyond
2OXYz2q9244-00290-00079157-00079390 but most people have used that out like
2OXYz2q9244-00291-00079391-00079597 they aren't dialed to the higher
2OXYz2q9244-00292-00079598-00079834 frequencies or the subtler frequencies
2OXYz2q9244-00293-00079835-00080038 and so just like the radio will only
2OXYz2q9244-00294-00080039-00080244 channel the songs that are part of a
2OXYz2q9244-00295-00080245-00080626 very narrow band frequency so to our
2OXYz2q9244-00296-00080627-00080875 consciousness our attention will only
2OXYz2q9244-00297-00080876-00081073 translate into sense perceptions and
2OXYz2q9244-00298-00081074-00081369 into conscious cognizance and
2OXYz2q9244-00299-00081370-00081531 experiences
2OXYz2q9244-00300-00081532-00081762 that to which we are attuned the
2OXYz2q9244-00301-00081763-00082080 frequencies to which we are attune but
2OXYz2q9244-00302-00082081-00082227 the essence of all these frequencies
2OXYz2q9244-00303-00082228-00082395 what I'm suggesting here is that the
2OXYz2q9244-00304-00082396-00082659 essence of all of these the root of all
2OXYz2q9244-00305-00082660-00082854 of these the substratum of all of these
2OXYz2q9244-00306-00082855-00083157 the background on top of which all of
2OXYz2q9244-00307-00083158-00083367 these frequencies are projected all of
2OXYz2q9244-00308-00083368-00083538 these possibilities of life all of these
2OXYz2q9244-00309-00083539-00083718 different perceptions and thoughts and
2OXYz2q9244-00310-00083719-00083793 vibrations
2OXYz2q9244-00311-00083794-00084096 they're very substratum the very essence
2OXYz2q9244-00312-00084097-00084389 is what we could call bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00313-00084390-00084660 that's why tapping into bliss is no
2OXYz2q9244-00314-00084661-00084846 different than tapping into our God self
2OXYz2q9244-00315-00084847-00085314 our divine nature are already free from
2OXYz2q9244-00316-00085315-00085803 all these time-space ideas nature so if
2OXYz2q9244-00317-00085804-00086091 we start with that we start with the
2OXYz2q9244-00318-00086092-00086355 acknowledgement that right now you just
2OXYz2q9244-00319-00086356-00086610 talk in terms of you as the viewer so if
2OXYz2q9244-00320-00086611-00086796 if you the viewer right now recognize
2OXYz2q9244-00321-00086797-00087030 that there is something about you which
2OXYz2q9244-00322-00087031-00087261 is hearing my voice and that that's
2OXYz2q9244-00323-00087262-00087423 something that's happening effortlessly
2OXYz2q9244-00324-00087424-00087741 whether you try to or not try to just to
2OXYz2q9244-00325-00087742-00088050 take you beyond the sense of it having
2OXYz2q9244-00326-00088051-00088245 to do with your sense of doer ship or
2OXYz2q9244-00327-00088246-00088470 your sense of who you are as a mind
2OXYz2q9244-00328-00088471-00088758 that's focused on something there is an
2OXYz2q9244-00329-00088759-00088962 awareness here that's already
2OXYz2q9244-00330-00088963-00089232 recognizing this moment whether or not
2OXYz2q9244-00331-00089233-00089577 you're trying to focus on so see if you
2OXYz2q9244-00332-00089578-00089853 can recognize that first of all it's
2OXYz2q9244-00333-00089854-00090075 like recognizing the space in which all
2OXYz2q9244-00334-00090076-00090372 the objects arise or the background of
2OXYz2q9244-00335-00090373-00090518 awareness which is hearing my voice
2OXYz2q9244-00336-00090519-00090867 without you even trying that's the first
2OXYz2q9244-00337-00090868-00091080 acknowledgment it's also in a sense the
2OXYz2q9244-00338-00091081-00091272 only acknowledgment you need but well
2OXYz2q9244-00339-00091273-00091636 take it a little deeper so this is right
2OXYz2q9244-00340-00091637-00091963 Nishan that there is an awareness that's
2OXYz2q9244-00341-00091964-00092426 already effortlessly present the
2OXYz2q9244-00342-00092427-00092693 into that and the easiest way to do this
2OXYz2q9244-00343-00092694-00093129 really is to stop describing whatever
2OXYz2q9244-00344-00093130-00093384 you're experiencing on your canvas your
2OXYz2q9244-00345-00093385-00093678 particular window of creation that you
2OXYz2q9244-00346-00093679-00094006 call your life stream if you will your
2OXYz2q9244-00347-00094007-00094226 collection of sense perceptions and
2OXYz2q9244-00348-00094227-00094461 thoughts and descriptions what have you
2OXYz2q9244-00349-00094462-00094805 stopped altogether radically describing
2OXYz2q9244-00350-00094806-00095046 anything that you see feel and so forth
2OXYz2q9244-00351-00095047-00095387 just for a few seconds you take a deep
2OXYz2q9244-00352-00095388-00096153 breath when you give back to God all the
2OXYz2q9244-00353-00096154-00096392 ideas that you think you know so well
2OXYz2q9244-00354-00096393-00096642 all the descriptions you've held onto
2OXYz2q9244-00355-00096643-00096885 all the descriptions you're used to
2OXYz2q9244-00356-00096886-00097169 bringing up about life and in that ease
2OXYz2q9244-00357-00097170-00097493 that natural is you begin to sense at a
2OXYz2q9244-00358-00097494-00097775 very subtle level that there is indeed
2OXYz2q9244-00359-00097776-00098132 an ease there is an ease of being there
2OXYz2q9244-00360-00098133-00098582 is a effortless space-like presence of
2OXYz2q9244-00361-00098583-00098882 awareness which is not and this is where
2OXYz2q9244-00362-00098883-00099101 the bliss for most people begin to sort
2OXYz2q9244-00363-00099102-00099303 of come in and the more practice the
2OXYz2q9244-00364-00099304-00099518 more blissful it becomes but you can
2OXYz2q9244-00365-00099519-00099735 glimpse the bliss when you for exemple
2OXYz2q9244-00366-00099736-00100043 recognize that that awareness which is
2OXYz2q9244-00367-00100044-00100319 actually in truth you more so than your
2OXYz2q9244-00368-00100320-00100479 personality is you more so than your
2OXYz2q9244-00369-00100480-00100635 thoughts are you more so than your sense
2OXYz2q9244-00370-00100636-00100805 perceptions are you that's stable
2OXYz2q9244-00371-00100806-00101000 ever-present awareness which looked in
2OXYz2q9244-00372-00101001-00101144 the mirror when it was eight-years-old
2OXYz2q9244-00373-00101145-00101292 which looked in the mirror when it was
2OXYz2q9244-00374-00101293-00101480 15 years old which looks in the mirror
2OXYz2q9244-00375-00101481-00101792 today there's something timeless within
2OXYz2q9244-00376-00101793-00102074 you that hasn't changed if you can
2OXYz2q9244-00377-00102075-00102311 recognize that throughout your life it's
2OXYz2q9244-00378-00102312-00102488 not only not changed but therefore also
2OXYz2q9244-00379-00102489-00102767 it's not been affected
2OXYz2q9244-00380-00102768-00102932 what are we looking for as human beings
2OXYz2q9244-00381-00102933-00103145 aren't we looking for a well-being that
2OXYz2q9244-00382-00103146-00103490 is invincible secretly we may not term
2OXYz2q9244-00383-00103491-00103679 it that way but are we not looking for a
2OXYz2q9244-00384-00103680-00103946 happiness that we believe is caused by
2OXYz2q9244-00385-00103947-00104123 something but we hope that once it's
2OXYz2q9244-00386-00104124-00104453 caused it will stay there but you see
2OXYz2q9244-00387-00104454-00104555 that's the delusion
2OXYz2q9244-00388-00104556-00104836 happiness can never stay if it's causes
2OXYz2q9244-00389-00104838-00105182 if it's triggered if something causes
2OXYz2q9244-00390-00105183-00105409 the happiness it cannot stay the true
2OXYz2q9244-00391-00105410-00105623 happiness if we want to find out true
2OXYz2q9244-00392-00105624-00105899 happiness true well-being and well-being
2OXYz2q9244-00393-00105900-00106322 is a word that greatly not does bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00394-00106323-00106534 justice but let's just say we're looking
2OXYz2q9244-00395-00106535-00106861 for well-being total complete holistic
2OXYz2q9244-00396-00106863-00107189 well-being then the wave needs to
2OXYz2q9244-00397-00107190-00107776 recognize at its very nature ocean
2OXYz2q9244-00398-00107777-00108013 and the way to go about this in a very
2OXYz2q9244-00399-00108014-00108269 mechanical almost scientific practical
2OXYz2q9244-00400-00108270-00108518 experience away is to bring your
2OXYz2q9244-00401-00108519-00108833 attention back from descriptions let go
2OXYz2q9244-00402-00108833-00109135 of descriptions and knowledge relative
2OXYz2q9244-00403-00109136-00109366 knowledge about objects and perceptions
2OXYz2q9244-00404-00109367-00109747 and bring that attention back in a sense
2OXYz2q9244-00405-00109748-00110057 to the heart of oneself the heart of
2OXYz2q9244-00406-00110058-00110539 being the root essence
2OXYz2q9244-00407-00110540-00110764 that is required for anything else to
2OXYz2q9244-00408-00110765-00111181 follow and that is often described as as
2OXYz2q9244-00409-00111182-00111580 feeling if I exist or I am it's more
2OXYz2q9244-00410-00111581-00112057 well known as the feeling of I am and as
2OXYz2q9244-00411-00112058-00112282 you stop thinking about things to the
2OXYz2q9244-00412-00112283-00112432 best of your ability for just a few
2OXYz2q9244-00413-00112433-00112935 seconds in this emptiness of thought you
2OXYz2q9244-00414-00112936-00113428 can recognize that you still exist and I
2OXYz2q9244-00415-00113429-00113689 can't make it any simpler than this it's
2OXYz2q9244-00416-00113690-00113896 about shifting from thinking to direct
2OXYz2q9244-00417-00113897-00114284 experience of that subtler ever-present
2OXYz2q9244-00418-00114285-00114771 stable unaffected timeless essence of I
2OXYz2q9244-00419-00114772-00115321 purely am I purely exist period and to
2OXYz2q9244-00420-00115322-00115594 rest attention in its essence to rest
2OXYz2q9244-00421-00115595-00115986 the wave back into the ocean at some
2OXYz2q9244-00422-00115988-00116170 point begins to release a bliss that's
2OXYz2q9244-00423-00116171-00116392 not caused now it may seem caused
2OXYz2q9244-00424-00116393-00116634 because we're doing an exercise that can
2OXYz2q9244-00425-00116635-00116931 allow this bliss to flow forth however
2OXYz2q9244-00426-00116932-00117205 what you'll see the more you practice is
2OXYz2q9244-00427-00117206-00117379 that this bliss was always the case you
2OXYz2q9244-00428-00117380-00117538 just overlooked it but you were
2OXYz2q9244-00429-00117539-00117678 inundated by it
2OXYz2q9244-00430-00117679-00118011 you were absolutely permeated by this
2OXYz2q9244-00431-00118013-00118171 bliss of your true self which right now
2OXYz2q9244-00432-00118172-00118390 is looking at this camera it's looking
2OXYz2q9244-00433-00118391-00118708 at this projection it's noticing all the
2OXYz2q9244-00434-00118708-00118897 descriptions that you have of your life
2OXYz2q9244-00435-00118898-00119125 the UPS the downs everything even your
2OXYz2q9244-00436-00119126-00119389 spiritual search is already witnessed by
2OXYz2q9244-00437-00119390-00119604 this timeless essence of yourself
2OXYz2q9244-00438-00119605-00119824 doesn't mean there is no relevance
2OXYz2q9244-00439-00119825-00120082 whatsoever to the relative journey we
2OXYz2q9244-00440-00120083-00120241 can focus on that if we really want to
2OXYz2q9244-00441-00120242-00120568 but if we wish to know true bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00442-00120569-00120796 causeless happiness stable joy and so
2OXYz2q9244-00443-00120797-00121048 forth true well-being our unity if we
2OXYz2q9244-00444-00121049-00121225 want to understand the unity of life to
2OXYz2q9244-00445-00121226-00121426 avoid the oneness the essence the source
2OXYz2q9244-00446-00121427-00121717 of it then we have to drop the wave back
2OXYz2q9244-00447-00121718-00121969 into the ocean in fact it already is
2OXYz2q9244-00448-00121970-00122197 because there is no wave outside the
2OXYz2q9244-00449-00122198-00122464 ocean apart from the ocean so it's a
2OXYz2q9244-00450-00122465-00122698 matter of recognizing our intrinsic
2OXYz2q9244-00451-00122699-00122926 ever-present oneness to be already the
2OXYz2q9244-00452-00122927-00123186 case and a more purely we do that
2OXYz2q9244-00453-00123188-00123338 meaning
2OXYz2q9244-00454-00123339-00123506 unless we distract ourselves with
2OXYz2q9244-00455-00123507-00123691 descriptions and the more were able to
2OXYz2q9244-00456-00123692-00123934 bring attention back to the direct
2OXYz2q9244-00457-00123935-00124489 experience of being aware just that
2OXYz2q9244-00458-00124490-00124933 then over quote-unquote time rather with
2OXYz2q9244-00459-00124934-00125233 practice the layers of the mind will
2OXYz2q9244-00460-00125234-00125456 begin to unfold will begin to fall away
2OXYz2q9244-00461-00125457-00125849 and this awareness will show itself this
2OXYz2q9244-00462-00125850-00126038 core of our essence our being as the
2OXYz2q9244-00463-00126039-00126328 pureness of I am or reveal itself to
2OXYz2q9244-00464-00126329-00126707 have no form of its own no particular
2OXYz2q9244-00465-00126708-00127159 for to have no location it's not located
2OXYz2q9244-00466-00127160-00127388 in the body it's not located inside of
2OXYz2q9244-00467-00127389-00127751 the world inside of this room its
2OXYz2q9244-00468-00127752-00127997 revealed to never been affected by any
2OXYz2q9244-00469-00127998-00128236 of our perceptions just like the screen
2OXYz2q9244-00470-00128238-00128503 is not affected whether the movie
2OXYz2q9244-00471-00128504-00128765 projects warfare or a peaceful Teletubby
2OXYz2q9244-00472-00128766-00129203 realm the screen is unaffected and this
2OXYz2q9244-00473-00129204-00129353 is what we're looking for but we're
2OXYz2q9244-00474-00129354-00129634 trying to find it in a cost and effect
2OXYz2q9244-00475-00129635-00129938 based sense perception based intellect a
2OXYz2q9244-00476-00129939-00130121 description based universe and we're
2OXYz2q9244-00477-00130122-00130274 never gonna find out it's never going to
2OXYz2q9244-00478-00130275-00130694 work in my opinion um so we gotta drop
2OXYz2q9244-00479-00130695-00130861 our attention back into the heart of
2OXYz2q9244-00480-00130863-00131063 being into the source of what we are and
2OXYz2q9244-00481-00131064-00131477 that bliss is so potent it will not only
2OXYz2q9244-00482-00131478-00131606 relieve you of your suffering

2OXYz2q9244-00486-00132510-00132701 mind/body/spirit complex and it will
2OXYz2q9244-00487-00132702-00132919 activate this in a whole new way
2OXYz2q9244-00488-00132920-00133204 empowering this intelligence to then

2OXYz2q9244-00494-00134486-00134785 it really is underestimated because we
2OXYz2q9244-00495-00134786-00134950 were always talking about fighting this
2OXYz2q9244-00496-00134951-00135150 fighting that protesting this protesting

2OXYz2q9244-00518-00139934-00140182 essence of what we are contacting that
2OXYz2q9244-00519-00140183-00140449 causeless bliss of this free awareness
2OXYz2q9244-00520-00140450-00140647 that's not affected by any of these
2OXYz2q9244-00521-00140648-00140881 time-space perceptions getting in touch
2OXYz2q9244-00522-00140882-00141082 with our eternal nature and then letting

2OXYz2q9244-00528-00142201-00142372 accomplish them we don't have to attain
2OXYz2q9244-00529-00142373-00142629 them they're already intrinsic in the
2OXYz2q9244-00530-00142630-00142861 nature of this clarity this spacious

2OXYz2q9244-00535-00144704-00144920 you to maybe elaborate a little bit more
2OXYz2q9244-00536-00144921-00145261 on that like how how that's used as a
2OXYz2q9244-00537-00145262-00145886 tool to achieve these things bliss is

2OXYz2q9244-00541-00146445-00146653 the nature of the self so to realize
2OXYz2q9244-00542-00146654-00146972 oneself is again to use a simple analogy
2OXYz2q9244-00543-00146973-00147313 is like the wave recognizing that it's
2OXYz2q9244-00544-00147314-00147572 actually water it's just a it's just a
2OXYz2q9244-00545-00147573-00147778 matter of recognizing the true nature of
2OXYz2q9244-00546-00147779-00148063 what we are instead of thinking thinking
2OXYz2q9244-00547-00148064-00148213 thinking describing describing
2OXYz2q9244-00548-00148214-00148369 describing believing believing believing

2OXYz2q9244-00550-00148886-00149149 experience of objects requires beliefs
2OXYz2q9244-00551-00149150-00149369 and descriptions but the direct
2OXYz2q9244-00552-00149370-00149834 experience of being of existing which is
2OXYz2q9244-00553-00149835-00150098 the requirement for us to then be able
2OXYz2q9244-00554-00150099-00150311 to even use the mind and go out and
2OXYz2q9244-00555-00150312-00150624 describe sense perceptions is
2OXYz2q9244-00556-00150625-00150964 ever-present it's only available through
2OXYz2q9244-00557-00150965-00151247 direct experience direct perception by
2OXYz2q9244-00558-00151248-00151426 turning attention back onto itself
2OXYz2q9244-00559-00151427-00151729 excuse me by turning awareness back on
2OXYz2q9244-00560-00151730-00152018 to itself by pulling that monkey back
2OXYz2q9244-00561-00152019-00152285 into view of the attention and resting
2OXYz2q9244-00562-00152286-00152786 it in this effortless already present
2OXYz2q9244-00563-00152787-00153122 of what's here that is the road to
2OXYz2q9244-00564-00153123-00153284 enlightenment or you could say that is
2OXYz2q9244-00565-00153285-00153434 enlightenment now it's just a matter of
2OXYz2q9244-00566-00153435-00153746 repeating that and becoming so familiar
2OXYz2q9244-00567-00153747-00154004 so acquainted so well established in
2OXYz2q9244-00568-00154005-00154253 that true self recognition that that
2OXYz2q9244-00569-00154254-00154487 self realization becomes more and more
2OXYz2q9244-00570-00154488-00154697 all pervasive in your experience the
2OXYz2q9244-00571-00154698-00154991 Bliss begins to sort of outshine the
2OXYz2q9244-00572-00154992-00155165 projections on the screen of the movie
2OXYz2q9244-00573-00155166-00155408 the screen itself becomes apparent to
2OXYz2q9244-00574-00155409-00155561 itself regardless of what's happening
2OXYz2q9244-00575-00155562-00155873 and this is the birth of ironically
2OXYz2q9244-00576-00155874-00156185 causeless stability this is when we
2OXYz2q9244-00577-00156186-00156455 allow ourselves to rest in this cost of
2OXYz2q9244-00578-00156456-00156665 stability which is infinitely more
2OXYz2q9244-00579-00156666-00156824 intelligent than most people will ever
2OXYz2q9244-00580-00156825-00157091 allow themselves to be by thinking and
2OXYz2q9244-00581-00157092-00157427 doing so it is enlightenment bliss is
2OXYz2q9244-00582-00157428-00157619 the nature of the self it is the
2OXYz2q9244-00583-00157620-00157916 realization of self not the type again
2OXYz2q9244-00584-00157917-00158225 people should understand that it's not
2OXYz2q9244-00585-00158226-00158579 the it's not the Bliss people say is
2OXYz2q9244-00586-00158580-00158747 blissful when they have a certain sense
2OXYz2q9244-00587-00158748-00158990 perception or when they have a certain
2OXYz2q9244-00588-00158991-00159296 say orgasmic experience or not that
2OXYz2q9244-00589-00159297-00159425 there's anything wrong with that but
2OXYz2q9244-00590-00159426-00159560 those are cause and effect based
2OXYz2q9244-00591-00159561-00159806 sensations the true bliss again is
2OXYz2q9244-00592-00159807-00160007 subtle it's like this whisper in a
2OXYz2q9244-00593-00160008-00160265 Metallica concert crowd and you've got a
2OXYz2q9244-00594-00160266-00160490 dial into it that's why you need to
2OXYz2q9244-00595-00160491-00160706 desire it otherwise it'll escape you for
2OXYz2q9244-00596-00160707-00160793 the rest of your life
2OXYz2q9244-00597-00160794-00161018 and you'll continue to chase these ideas
2OXYz2q9244-00598-00161019-00161225 of who I am and self-realization and
2OXYz2q9244-00599-00161226-00161420 enlightenment but all the while missing
2OXYz2q9244-00600-00161421-00161675 out on this core principle which is that
2OXYz2q9244-00601-00161676-00161945 pure nature of I am which just so
2OXYz2q9244-00602-00161946-00162083 happens to be blissful it just so
2OXYz2q9244-00603-00162084-00162296 happens to be causeless joy it just so
2OXYz2q9244-00604-00162297-00162476 happens as it turns out to be actually
2OXYz2q9244-00605-00162477-00162768 infinite eternal and beyond space and
2OXYz2q9244-00606-00162769-00163007 time and we can recognize this because
2OXYz2q9244-00607-00163008-00163289 it's what we are it is self realization
2OXYz2q9244-00608-00163290-00163689 listen self realization are synonymous
2OXYz2q9244-00609-00163690-00164097 mmm-hmm in your opinion how can how can
2OXYz2q9244-00610-00164098-00164319 bliss be use to influence World Peace
2OXYz2q9244-00611-00164320-00164673 like how can that have internally
2OXYz2q9244-00612-00164674-00165156 externally in community Tooting World
2OXYz2q9244-00613-00165157-00165492 Peace does every man and woman not do
2OXYz2q9244-00614-00165493-00165720 what they do because they're looking for
2OXYz2q9244-00615-00165721-00166098 this bliss for this well-being so what
2OXYz2q9244-00616-00166099-00166281 if everyone found it from one day to the
2OXYz2q9244-00617-00166282-00166473 next what if everyone discovered it to
2OXYz2q9244-00618-00166474-00166668 be already theirs what if everyone
2OXYz2q9244-00619-00166669-00166827 suddenly knew they were sitting on his
2OXYz2q9244-00620-00166828-00167076 treasure chest of of everything to ever
2OXYz2q9244-00621-00167077-00167316 wanted what do you think would happen to
2OXYz2q9244-00622-00167317-00167658 our actions and like we were we need to
2OXYz2q9244-00623-00167659-00167934 keep fighting in order to keep fighting
2OXYz2q9244-00624-00167935-00168258 so if we're talking about peace which
2OXYz2q9244-00625-00168259-00168537 you could say is the opposite of war on
2OXYz2q9244-00626-00168538-00168762 an external level the peace on an
2OXYz2q9244-00627-00168763-00168945 internal level has nothing to do with
2OXYz2q9244-00628-00168946-00169158 peace on an external level or war on an
2OXYz2q9244-00629-00169159-00169428 external level the true peace is a same
2OXYz2q9244-00630-00169429-00169626 as that bliss is that costless nature
2OXYz2q9244-00631-00169627-00169764 and it can be experienced right now
2OXYz2q9244-00632-00169765-00169929 regardless of the state of this crazy
2OXYz2q9244-00633-00169930-00170184 world but why is the world's for crazy
2OXYz2q9244-00634-00170185-00170418 why does war continue in all of its
2OXYz2q9244-00635-00170419-00170700 facets and forms war in families war in
2OXYz2q9244-00636-00170701-00170883 communities war in politics for on
2OXYz2q9244-00637-00170884-00171156 social media and actual physical war
2OXYz2q9244-00638-00171157-00171432 with armies and so forth why does it
2OXYz2q9244-00639-00171433-00171648 persist it requires people to continue
2OXYz2q9244-00640-00171649-00172023 to do it so even the concept of let's
2OXYz2q9244-00641-00172024-00172287 now use bliss and form an army of this
2OXYz2q9244-00642-00172288-00172584 bliss to somehow fight the nun bliss or
2OXYz2q9244-00643-00172585-00172887 to fight a nun light is also something
2OXYz2q9244-00644-00172888-00173058 that needs to be dissolved there's also
2OXYz2q9244-00645-00173059-00173196 something that needs to be understood to
2OXYz2q9244-00646-00173197-00173463 be futile attempt what if everyone just
2OXYz2q9244-00647-00173464-00173709 stopped fighting I know it sounds
2OXYz2q9244-00648-00173710-00173982 ridiculous but if everyone stopped
2OXYz2q9244-00649-00173983-00174294 fighting what would happen we're at
2OXYz2q9244-00650-00174295-00174651 least instantly within 5 seconds within
2OXYz2q9244-00651-00174652-00174960 zero seconds so it requires us to
2OXYz2q9244-00652-00174961-00175122 continue to play into the game of the
2OXYz2q9244-00653-00175123-00175301 matrix and opposition and anti
2OXYz2q9244-00654-00175302-00175545 antagonistic messaging and media and all
2OXYz2q9244-00655-00175546-00175845 that stuff so the power to transform the
2OXYz2q9244-00656-00175846-00176061 world I know it sounds so cliche but
2OXYz2q9244-00657-00176062-00176352 it's so true it's so powerful it's so
2OXYz2q9244-00658-00176353-00176544 true and it needs to be understood to
2OXYz2q9244-00659-00176545-00176778 not be cliche but to be remarkable and
2OXYz2q9244-00660-00176779-00177024 to be desirable and that is
2OXYz2q9244-00661-00177025-00177264 that the only way to change the world is
2OXYz2q9244-00662-00177265-00177468 to enter to step into the bliss into the
2OXYz2q9244-00663-00177469-00177698 highest state you can possibly imagine
2OXYz2q9244-00664-00177699-00177960 without trying to get there through your
2OXYz2q9244-00665-00177961-00178317 actions don't worry your actions will
2OXYz2q9244-00666-00178318-00178515 still flow from you people think
2OXYz2q9244-00667-00178516-00178713 sometimes that if we don't fight for
2OXYz2q9244-00668-00178714-00178848 something if we don't fight for this
2OXYz2q9244-00669-00178849-00179157 don't fight for that that somehow we
2OXYz2q9244-00670-00179158-00179352 wouldn't be creating a better world but
2OXYz2q9244-00671-00179353-00179511 nothing is farther from the truth
2OXYz2q9244-00672-00179512-00179736 we're only reacting to the old systems
2OXYz2q9244-00673-00179737-00179913 over and over and over again
2OXYz2q9244-00674-00179914-00180090 bliss doesn't do that the intelligence
2OXYz2q9244-00675-00180091-00180375 of bliss will inspire you to do nothing
2OXYz2q9244-00676-00180376-00180638 when it that's the best action to take
2OXYz2q9244-00677-00180639-00180894 but just as much it will inspire you to
2OXYz2q9244-00678-00180895-00181188 do to go to great lengths to use your
2OXYz2q9244-00679-00181189-00181479 body mind energy to execute amazing
2OXYz2q9244-00680-00181480-00181668 things very courageously against all
2OXYz2q9244-00681-00181669-00181845 odds but it will come from that
2OXYz2q9244-00682-00181846-00182013 inspiration and that intelligence which
2OXYz2q9244-00683-00182014-00182256 is part and parcel of the motherboard of
2OXYz2q9244-00684-00182257-00182490 oneness that all that isness that pure
2OXYz2q9244-00685-00182491-00183015 state of I am so bliss is the great
2OXYz2q9244-00686-00183016-00183357 peacemaker like instantly it has the
2OXYz2q9244-00687-00183358-00183513 power to transform the world that people
2OXYz2q9244-00688-00183514-00183666 don't believe that because we're
2OXYz2q9244-00689-00183667-00183828 obsessed with is very very very narrow
2OXYz2q9244-00690-00183829-00184074 bent with of creation and we called it
2OXYz2q9244-00691-00184075-00184371 the world the world is absolutely
2OXYz2q9244-00692-00184372-00184668 nothing compared to existence it's just
2OXYz2q9244-00693-00184669-00184875 it's gone it's just like that but we're
2OXYz2q9244-00694-00184876-00185151 so obsessed with everything that exists
2OXYz2q9244-00695-00185152-00185370 within this tiny portion of the illusion
2OXYz2q9244-00696-00185371-00185607 of the Creator and we're so focused on
2OXYz2q9244-00697-00185608-00185790 our sense perceptions which science also
2OXYz2q9244-00698-00185791-00186156 has confirmed we only perceive like
2OXYz2q9244-00699-00186157-00186354 pointers or whatever spectrum of light
2OXYz2q9244-00700-00186355-00186588 and and audible sounds and what-have-you
2OXYz2q9244-00701-00186589-00186789 so even from the point of view of the
2OXYz2q9244-00702-00186790-00187023 world that we think is existence which
2OXYz2q9244-00703-00187024-00187358 is not it's just a tiny expression of it
2OXYz2q9244-00704-00187359-00187647 we're so fixated on it because we think
2OXYz2q9244-00705-00187648-00187842 this is what life is but life is not the
2OXYz2q9244-00706-00187843-00188118 census it's that you but it's definitely
2OXYz2q9244-00707-00188119-00188304 not limited to it it's a very small
2OXYz2q9244-00708-00188305-00188529 portion of what we are and so by tapping
2OXYz2q9244-00709-00188530-00188745 into this bliss our perspective goes
2OXYz2q9244-00710-00188746-00189372 boof from that explosive expansive Solow
2OXYz2q9244-00711-00189373-00189597 all pervasive intelligent perspective
2OXYz2q9244-00712-00189598-00189771 which naturally comes with a sense of
2OXYz2q9244-00713-00189772-00189921 bliss because now the emotional guidance
2OXYz2q9244-00714-00189922-00190161 system is letting me us know we're in
2OXYz2q9244-00715-00190162-00190332 alignment with the truth and so we feel
2OXYz2q9244-00716-00190333-00190557 amazing every time we're in alignment
2OXYz2q9244-00717-00190558-00190967 with truth will feel blissfull and so
2OXYz2q9244-00718-00190968-00191190 anything that comes from us then will be
2OXYz2q9244-00719-00191191-00191400 turned into peace will be turned into
2OXYz2q9244-00720-00191401-00191613 bliss so whatever we touch will take on
2OXYz2q9244-00721-00191614-00191993 the quality of our state of being
2OXYz2q9244-00722-00191994-00192106 absolutely
2OXYz2q9244-00723-00192107-00192714 we do you ever have any challenges that
2OXYz2q9244-00724-00192715-00193077 that take you out of a full state and
2OXYz2q9244-00725-00193078-00193360 and how do you find yourself coming back
2OXYz2q9244-00726-00193361-00193810 to
2OXYz2q9244-00727-00193811-00194164 and I could say that there are but
2OXYz2q9244-00728-00194165-00194368 there's a simultaneity to it once you've
2OXYz2q9244-00729-00194369-00194707 practiced this enough the water
2OXYz2q9244-00730-00194708-00194860 recognition doesn't really go away
2OXYz2q9244-00731-00194861-00195124 anymore so the wave after it's realized
2OXYz2q9244-00732-00195125-00195354 to such a deep degree that it is water
2OXYz2q9244-00733-00195355-00195571 no matter what then even if the winds
2OXYz2q9244-00734-00195572-00195778 get choppy you'll still have the
2OXYz2q9244-00735-00195779-00196000 experience of the body in this case the
2OXYz2q9244-00736-00196001-00196203 wave and the mind in this case also the
2OXYz2q9244-00737-00196204-00196468 wave being sort of slung around and like
2OXYz2q9244-00738-00196469-00196639 challenge sheer challenged air stretch
2OXYz2q9244-00739-00196640-00196891 then over here like bah-bah-bah so all
2OXYz2q9244-00740-00196892-00197236 the the sense perceptions and the even
2OXYz2q9244-00741-00197237-00197452 the thoughts to a degree not entirely
2OXYz2q9244-00742-00197453-00197734 but to a degree the thoughts to mine can
2OXYz2q9244-00743-00197735-00197890 also still be challenged can still be
2OXYz2q9244-00744-00197891-00198179 pulled to its very edge of comfort and
2OXYz2q9244-00745-00198180-00198457 so in that sense my experience is not
2OXYz2q9244-00746-00198458-00198601 that different from other people but
2OXYz2q9244-00747-00198602-00198907 it's just that I see that as a tiny tiny
2OXYz2q9244-00748-00198908-00199189 portion ultimately insignificant
2OXYz2q9244-00749-00199190-00199420 compared to the timeless nature of what
2OXYz2q9244-00750-00199421-00199681 I am so there's a simultaneity to it
2OXYz2q9244-00751-00199682-00199939 when things do get choppy and catalytic
2OXYz2q9244-00752-00199940-00200323 and and weird or challenging if you will
2OXYz2q9244-00753-00200324-00200638 on a relative level there is a pervasive
2OXYz2q9244-00754-00200639-00200800 recognition of the background that
2OXYz2q9244-00755-00200801-00201076 shines forth so it's it's yes and no
2OXYz2q9244-00756-00201077-00201259 it's both it's simultaneous and
2OXYz2q9244-00757-00201260-00201457 therefore it doesn't really distract me
2OXYz2q9244-00758-00201458-00201733 anymore in the way that you see most
2OXYz2q9244-00759-00201734-00201895 people are distracted and I used to be
2OXYz2q9244-00760-00201896-00202140 distracted just as much but it's just
2OXYz2q9244-00761-00202141-00202369 with practice practice makes perfect the
2OXYz2q9244-00762-00202370-00202603 more you practice this the less you can
2OXYz2q9244-00763-00202604-00202801 on see it you know and it's just so
2OXYz2q9244-00764-00202802-00202949 obvious
2OXYz2q9244-00765-00202950-00203143 and then
2OXYz2q9244-00766-00203144-00203296 you begin to trust endless and then
2OXYz2q9244-00767-00203297-00203533 bliss begins to resolve your issues it's
2OXYz2q9244-00768-00203534-00203841 really funny where prior to that usage
2OXYz2q9244-00769-00203842-00204106 of bliss by not doing anything out of
2OXYz2q9244-00770-00204107-00204327 ego or at least as little as we possibly
2OXYz2q9244-00771-00204328-00204571 can but kind of tapping into the bliss
2OXYz2q9244-00772-00204572-00204753 first and foremost the freedom the
2OXYz2q9244-00773-00204754-00205021 greater perspective when we trust in
2OXYz2q9244-00774-00205021-00205290 bliss then bliss now begins to empower
2OXYz2q9244-00775-00205291-00205485 through our bodies through the wave now
2OXYz2q9244-00776-00205486-00205680 we're backed up with the essence of the
2OXYz2q9244-00777-00205681-00205980 entire ocean instead of just with what's
2OXYz2q9244-00778-00205981-00206194 contained within the wave therefore our
2OXYz2q9244-00779-00206194-00206494 actions and our decisions will be that
2OXYz2q9244-00780-00206494-00206723 much more balanced that much more
2OXYz2q9244-00781-00206725-00207060 harmonious and our actions will lead to
2OXYz2q9244-00782-00207061-00207183 that much more peace and true
2OXYz2q9244-00783-00207184-00207403 transformation and it comes with a
2OXYz2q9244-00784-00207404-00207621 natural sense of courage because you're
2OXYz2q9244-00785-00207623-00207775 not operating from separation you're
2OXYz2q9244-00786-00207776-00207960 operating from bliss which is connected
2OXYz2q9244-00787-00207961-00208263 to the motherboard of all that is so let
2OXYz2q9244-00788-00208264-00208431 bliss do the talking in a sense let
2OXYz2q9244-00789-00208432-00208678 let's do the operating let bliss do the
2OXYz2q9244-00790-00208679-00208938 executing if people could just trust in
2OXYz2q9244-00791-00208939-00209200 that state of being more and less try to
2OXYz2q9244-00792-00209201-00209578 do their way in to happiness happiness
2OXYz2q9244-00793-00209579-00209737 is the way happiness is the path and
2OXYz2q9244-00794-00209738-00209896 happiness creates that next level
2OXYz2q9244-00795-00209896-00210154 civilization that we desire on a
2OXYz2q9244-00796-00210155-00210352 relative level but we have to take our
2OXYz2q9244-00797-00210353-00210531 attention beyond just a relative focus
2OXYz2q9244-00798-00210532-00210756 in order to appreciate the relative
2OXYz2q9244-00799-00210757-00211039 focus in its proper context be sort of
2OXYz2q9244-00800-00211040-00211276 naturally detached from it while deeply
2OXYz2q9244-00801-00211277-00211423 caring about the results on that
2OXYz2q9244-00802-00211423-00211833 relative level because why not and but
2OXYz2q9244-00803-00211834-00212034 it doesn't pose the same threat anymore
2OXYz2q9244-00804-00212035-00212212 to our existence we've become quite
2OXYz2q9244-00805-00212213-00212532 fearless more and more fearless and from
2OXYz2q9244-00806-00212533-00212698 fearlessness naturally courageous
2OXYz2q9244-00807-00212698-00212887 actions follow and from courageous
2OXYz2q9244-00808-00212888-00213166 actions although that naturally means
2OXYz2q9244-00809-00213167-00213423 that it's typically more often than not
2OXYz2q9244-00810-00213425-00213705 the right action rather than a reaction
2OXYz2q9244-00811-00213706-00214083 or a biased reaction or something that
2OXYz2q9244-00812-00214084-00214308 I'm trying to protect myself from so now
2OXYz2q9244-00813-00214309-00214498 it becomes in the benefit of all our
2OXYz2q9244-00814-00214498-00214671 actions more and more and more we trust
2OXYz2q9244-00815-00214673-00214819 and bliss and let bliss do the talking
2OXYz2q9244-00816-00214819-00215232 into doing the more everything we do has
2OXYz2q9244-00817-00215233-00215532 a harmonic kind of vibration to it a
2OXYz2q9244-00818-00215533-00215844 harmony to it and then you can't help
2OXYz2q9244-00819-00215846-00216078 but express and be generous
2OXYz2q9244-00820-00216079-00216354 as you're inspired to and everything you
2OXYz2q9244-00821-00216355-00216588 do turns more and more into gold so to
2OXYz2q9244-00822-00216589-00217121 speak more more into bliss mm-hmm and
2OXYz2q9244-00823-00217123-00217308 then you can just radiate that out into
2OXYz2q9244-00824-00217309-00217400 the world
2OXYz2q9244-00825-00217401-00217919 exactly um I have a question for you how
2OXYz2q9244-00826-00217919-00218265 how did you come across the come up with
2OXYz2q9244-00827-00218266-00218664 the day 2035 like I see that that you've
2OXYz2q9244-00828-00218665-00218952 mentioned that as kind of a point that
2OXYz2q9244-00829-00218953-00219351 you're aiming for yeah a few
2OXYz2q9244-00830-00219352-00219596 misconceptions about that it's not that
2OXYz2q9244-00831-00219598-00219810 I'm aiming for that it's not a personal
2OXYz2q9244-00832-00219811-00219987 goal it's more prediction of anything
2OXYz2q9244-00833-00219988-00220602 else just a sense of a probable window
2OXYz2q9244-00834-00220603-00220950 of time around the year 2035
2OXYz2q9244-00835-00220951-00221171 where I think we'll be able to look back
2OXYz2q9244-00836-00221173-00221873 and say that we have we have changed so
2OXYz2q9244-00837-00221875-00222060 drastically as a civilization that we
2OXYz2q9244-00838-00222061-00222251 can no longer associate ourselves with
2OXYz2q9244-00839-00222252-00222507 the image that we have of humanity and
2OXYz2q9244-00840-00222508-00222753 so I call it or have called it the
2OXYz2q9244-00841-00222754-00222948 enlightened enlightened civilization by
2OXYz2q9244-00842-00222948-00223428 2035 for several reasons one because it
2OXYz2q9244-00843-00223429-00223598 offers people something recognizable
2OXYz2q9244-00844-00223598-00223953 something to kind of almost also use in
2OXYz2q9244-00845-00223954-00224139 a hopeful way but as kind of a marker
2OXYz2q9244-00846-00224140-00224391 and like I said it's sort of what I
2OXYz2q9244-00847-00224392-00224727 sends to be a fairly accurate prediction
2OXYz2q9244-00848-00224728-00224913 of the timeframe within which we can
2OXYz2q9244-00849-00224914-00225198 look back and say we have become not a
2OXYz2q9244-00850-00225198-00225414 fully enlightened civilization in terms
2OXYz2q9244-00851-00225415-00225588 of we're all the Buddha and we no longer
2OXYz2q9244-00852-00225589-00225798 have any egos and we no longer have any
2OXYz2q9244-00853-00225798-00226059 mind and we're perfectly undistracted
2OXYz2q9244-00854-00226060-00226281 clear unified consciousness all the time
2OXYz2q9244-00855-00226282-00226623 that's that's not going to be 2035 most
2OXYz2q9244-00856-00226623-00226812 likely it's ever possible but it's
2OXYz2q9244-00857-00226813-00227040 improbable so when I say enlightened
2OXYz2q9244-00858-00227041-00227273 civilization by 2035 I mean it in a more
2OXYz2q9244-00859-00227275-00227525 relative level where we step up our
2OXYz2q9244-00860-00227526-00227790 frequency our state of being to be ready
2OXYz2q9244-00861-00227791-00228030 for that next level density that fourth
2OXYz2q9244-00862-00228031-00228282 density of love of transparency of
2OXYz2q9244-00863-00228283-00228441 understanding of compassion of
2OXYz2q9244-00864-00228442-00228719 co-creation of harmony the vibration of
2OXYz2q9244-00865-00228721-00229023 harmony and transparency and love will
2OXYz2q9244-00866-00229023-00229303 be
2OXYz2q9244-00867-00229304-00229564 the norm more than we've ever known it
2OXYz2q9244-00868-00229565-00229903 before and so this is my hope it's also
2OXYz2q9244-00869-00229904-00230142 my prediction in a sense and I feel that
2OXYz2q9244-00870-00230144-00230359 it gives people just a little bit
2OXYz2q9244-00871-00230360-00230592 something more long term or mid term to
2OXYz2q9244-00872-00230594-00230866 anchor or to kind of guide themselves
2OXYz2q9244-00873-00230867-00231121 into and align themselves to so I felt
2OXYz2q9244-00874-00231121-00231301 it would have a powerful effect on a
2OXYz2q9244-00875-00231302-00231610 collective that have this sense loosely
2OXYz2q9244-00876-00231611-00231904 not as like 20:35 as a concept but just
2OXYz2q9244-00877-00231905-00232216 as a general sort of marker to like awe
2OXYz2q9244-00878-00232217-00232486 lift towards and and do our best to sort
2OXYz2q9244-00879-00232487-00232759 of co-create and and radiate this
2OXYz2q9244-00880-00232760-00232948 message into the world in that way and
2OXYz2q9244-00881-00232948-00233223 then I think if we all step up our game
2OXYz2q9244-00882-00233225-00233850 that 2035 will be a threshold for us
2OXYz2q9244-00883-00233851-00234075 absolutely
2OXYz2q9244-00884-00234076-00234573 um but where we're coming towards the
2OXYz2q9244-00885-00234575-00234787 end of our time and I just want to ask
2OXYz2q9244-00886-00234788-00234964 you is there is there that you you're
2OXYz2q9244-00887-00234965-00235210 feeling called to to share anything else
2OXYz2q9244-00888-00235211-00235414 that you'd like to to share with us um
2OXYz2q9244-00889-00235415-00235642 and this in these last minutes that we
2OXYz2q9244-00890-00235642-00235944 have I just love yourselves I mean
2OXYz2q9244-00891-00235946-00236209 there's so many ideas out there and I
2OXYz2q9244-00892-00236210-00236656 would just say welcome and love yourself
2OXYz2q9244-00893-00236657-00236911 go back to the Bliss from where you came
2OXYz2q9244-00894-00236912-00237151 trust in that to trust in the nature of
2OXYz2q9244-00895-00237152-00237355 things trust in the essence of yourself
2OXYz2q9244-00896-00237356-00237613 do not be fooled by the myriad of ideas
2OXYz2q9244-00897-00237614-00237769 that are out there right now do not
2OXYz2q9244-00898-00237769-00238054 listen to what's out there please don't
2OXYz2q9244-00899-00238055-00238201 please don't
2OXYz2q9244-00900-00238202-00238381 it's the opposite of loving ourselves
2OXYz2q9244-00901-00238382-00238687 and the only way to love is to love
2OXYz2q9244-00902-00238688-00239005 ourselves so give yourself that break
2OXYz2q9244-00903-00239006-00239260 give yourself permission to not always
2OXYz2q9244-00904-00239261-00239548 have to do an execute an act but rather
2OXYz2q9244-00905-00239548-00239773 to be and to discover and to realize
2OXYz2q9244-00906-00239773-00239986 yourself to understand that the greatest
2OXYz2q9244-00907-00239987-00240198 gift that we can give to this world is
2OXYz2q9244-00908-00240200-00240417 to recognize the truth of who we all are
2OXYz2q9244-00909-00240419-00240781 because if I recognize what I am there's
2OXYz2q9244-00910-00240782-00241012 no way that I could want harm for you
2OXYz2q9244-00911-00241013-00241264 there's just no way the only way I could
2OXYz2q9244-00912-00241265-00241486 want any type of harm for you whether
2OXYz2q9244-00913-00241487-00241786 consciously or unconsciously is if I
2OXYz2q9244-00914-00241787-00241969 don't know what I am if I don't know
2OXYz2q9244-00915-00241969-00242142 this Unified Field if I don't know this
2OXYz2q9244-00916-00242144-00242346 essence of this bliss consciousness
2OXYz2q9244-00917-00242348-00242512 awareness that's already here looking
2OXYz2q9244-00918-00242513-00242627 through your eyes or
2OXYz2q9244-00919-00242628-00242828 hearing through your ears and also goes
2OXYz2q9244-00920-00242829-00243067 way beyond it when you dive into it this
2OXYz2q9244-00921-00243069-00243230 is the solution to everything my friends
2OXYz2q9244-00922-00243231-00243407 it's what's actually listening to my
2OXYz2q9244-00923-00243408-00243596 voice right now so give yourself that
2OXYz2q9244-00924-00243596-00243659 permission
2OXYz2q9244-00925-00243660-00243851 don't listen to human beings they've
2OXYz2q9244-00926-00243852-00244133 messed up for millennia don't let
2OXYz2q9244-00927-00244134-00244382 yourself get guilt-tripped into any kind
2OXYz2q9244-00928-00244383-00244607 of behavior or way of thinking just
2OXYz2q9244-00929-00244608-00244894 radically depart from the consensus
2OXYz2q9244-00930-00244896-00245114 reality understanding of what is and
2OXYz2q9244-00931-00245115-00245282 what should be done and what's real and

2OXYz2q9244-00950-00250019-00250309 little bit about your your infinity
2OXYz2q9244-00951-00250310-00250867 course sure seven years or so ago I
2OXYz2q9244-00952-00250867-00251094 create an online course to kind of bring
2OXYz2q9244-00953-00251096-00251350 together the main components of my work
2OXYz2q9244-00954-00251351-00251557 at the time of course it's evolved and
2OXYz2q9244-00955-00251558-00251785 become a little bit more refined over
2OXYz2q9244-00956-00251786-00252091 time but the essence is definitely there
2OXYz2q9244-00957-00252092-00252340 is very accessible to a lot of people we
2OXYz2q9244-00958-00252341-00252502 made it entirely free so it's an online

2OXYz2q9244-00962-00253417-00253569 has the self realization or
2OXYz2q9244-00963-00253571-00253707 enlightenment branch because
2OXYz2q9244-00964-00253708-00253912 spirituality at large can kind of be
2OXYz2q9244-00965-00253913-00254176 categorized as either being a form of
2OXYz2q9244-00966-00254177-00254448 self-actualization or self expression or
2OXYz2q9244-00967-00254450-00254721 self empowerment or self realization or
2OXYz2q9244-00968-00254723-00254989 enlightenment or tracing back the nature
2OXYz2q9244-00969-00254990-00255178 of what we are to its essence beyond the
2OXYz2q9244-00970-00255179-00255532 mind and ego and I've been doing my best
2OXYz2q9244-00971-00255533-00255819 to synthesize these two categories into
2OXYz2q9244-00972-00255821-00256051 sort of a unified structure that
2OXYz2q9244-00973-00256052-00256198 supports each other
2OXYz2q9244-00974-00256198-00256351 because in the end these two paths are 1
2OXYz2q9244-00975-00256352-00256717 and therefore infinity academy.com

2OXYz2q9244-00991-00260857-00261012 we still have a little bit more time so
2OXYz2q9244-00992-00261013-00261513 I just want to like how do you like what
2OXYz2q9244-00993-00261514-00261696 brings you the most bliss in your life I
2OXYz2q9244-00994-00261696-00262187 I know you have some some enemies
2OXYz2q9244-00995-00262188-00262515 including freediving I was I was I was
2OXYz2q9244-00996-00262516-00262788 looking at how how long can you hold
2OXYz2q9244-00997-00262789-00263391 your breath well my record is five and a
2OXYz2q9244-00998-00263392-00263787 half minutes but I don't do that anymore
2OXYz2q9244-00999-00263788-00263988 really because you have to kind of be by
2OXYz2q9244-01000-00263989-00264267 the ocean consistently and if you can't
2OXYz2q9244-01001-00264268-00264567 practice consistently the adaptation
2OXYz2q9244-01002-00264568-00264747 phase like kind of comes back and forth
2OXYz2q9244-01003-00264748-00264903 and so some point it was just a little
2OXYz2q9244-01004-00264904-00265074 bit too much of a logistical hassle to
2OXYz2q9244-01005-00265075-00265302 continue but I enjoyed from time to time
2OXYz2q9244-01006-00265303-00265596 when I mirrored the water as to your
2OXYz2q9244-01007-00265597-00265797 first question which is more important
2OXYz2q9244-01008-00265798-00266082 question my eyes less the more
2OXYz2q9244-01009-00266083-00266325 non-transient question is what brings me
2OXYz2q9244-01010-00266326-00266541 the most bliss and again you have to
2OXYz2q9244-01011-00266542-00266718 understand that bliss is what brings me
2OXYz2q9244-01012-00266719-00267120 the most bliss because it's not costless
2OXYz2q9244-01013-00267121-00267303 it's not caused it's a cost less thing
2OXYz2q9244-01014-00267304-00267543 so truly the most blissful thing for me
2OXYz2q9244-01015-00267544-00267723 is to recognize what I am and it sounds
2OXYz2q9244-01016-00267724-00267945 kind of boring to people but man once
2OXYz2q9244-01017-00267946-00268107 you tapped into that infinite
2OXYz2q9244-01018-00268108-00268421 independent fountain of yourself
2OXYz2q9244-01019-00268422-00268662 everything just becomes an expression of
2OXYz2q9244-01020-00268663-00268875 it and there's no more trying to get
2OXYz2q9244-01021-00268876-00269136 bliss from anything that you do you're
2OXYz2q9244-01022-00269137-00269271 giving blissed everything that you're
2OXYz2q9244-01023-00269272-00269454 doing and yes of some things you'll
2OXYz2q9244-01024-00269455-00269589 prefer over other things although
2OXYz2q9244-01025-00269590-00269964 they'll become less and less important
2OXYz2q9244-01026-00269965-00270216 as well for your well-being but so
2OXYz2q9244-01027-00270217-00270378 you're free I could be free diving and

2OXYz2q9244-01032-00271381-00271635 amazing rush or this amazing feeling you
2OXYz2q9244-01033-00271636-00271758 have to understand after so much
2OXYz2q9244-01034-00271759-00272055 practice of this

2OXYz2q9244-01036-00272218-00272394 peak moments plus so much more is

2OXYz2q9244-01042-00273460-00273719 feels the most vibrationally aligned and
2OXYz2q9244-01043-00273720-00273996 then I go and do that I don't really

2W5xtODW5m8-00194-00057736-00057982 than a hundred thousand dollars to spend

2W5xtODW5m8-00223-00064720-00064966 what a sarp program looks like or the
2W5xtODW5m8-00224-00064967-00065199 history in this county but santa cruz
2W5xtODW5m8-00225-00065200-00065238 was
2W5xtODW5m8-00226-00065239-00065503 ahead of the curve on this we ran a
2W5xtODW5m8-00227-00065504-00065606 model program
2W5xtODW5m8-00228-00065607-00065791 and then it was taken away from santa
2W5xtODW5m8-00229-00065792-00066038 cruz and it went over to santa clara
2W5xtODW5m8-00230-00066039-00066271 we do not need to keep making the same
2W5xtODW5m8-00231-00066272-00066423 mistakes we need to show

2W5xtODW5m8-00238-00067688-00067926 less than one hundred thousand dollars

2W5xtODW5m8-00323-00102943-00103047 things
2W5xtODW5m8-00324-00103048-00103534 as well as two support staff positions
2W5xtODW5m8-00325-00103535-00103854 from the budget cycle we have also had
2W5xtODW5m8-00326-00103855-00103902 to
2W5xtODW5m8-00327-00103903-00104094 unfortunately discontinue an extra help
2W5xtODW5m8-00328-00104095-00104302 legal secretary position
2W5xtODW5m8-00329-00104303-00104510 that was filled by one of our retired
2W5xtODW5m8-00330-00104511-00104686 employees that came back and was
2W5xtODW5m8-00331-00104688-00105031 was really doing an excellent job for us
2W5xtODW5m8-00332-00105032-00105415 so in an effort to sort of uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00333-00105416-00105663 explain how we have done our part in
2W5xtODW5m8-00334-00105664-00105871 addition to those positions
2W5xtODW5m8-00335-00105872-00106199 that i've spoken about we have also
2W5xtODW5m8-00336-00106200-00106566 tried to increase management fees
2W5xtODW5m8-00337-00106567-00106878 where we can and uh for
2W5xtODW5m8-00338-00106879-00107078 the consumer protection unit this is a
2W5xtODW5m8-00339-00107079-00107295 unit that is self-generating uh with
2W5xtODW5m8-00340-00107296-00107390 revenue
2W5xtODW5m8-00341-00107391-00107599 and as we've looked at them we have
2W5xtODW5m8-00342-00107600-00107863 really thought about how we can
2W5xtODW5m8-00343-00107864-00108110 sort of uh charge certain management
2W5xtODW5m8-00344-00108111-00108271 fees that we were doing for them
2W5xtODW5m8-00345-00108272-00108575 anyway so we've been able to sort of
2W5xtODW5m8-00346-00108576-00108815 use some of those resources to offset
2W5xtODW5m8-00347-00108816-00109031 some of the issues that we've had
2W5xtODW5m8-00348-00109032-00109334 we have also
2W5xtODW5m8-00349-00109335-00109599 reduced operating costs where we can in
2W5xtODW5m8-00350-00109600-00109823 terms of professional services
2W5xtODW5m8-00351-00109824-00110190 supplies and um those sort of things
2W5xtODW5m8-00352-00110191-00110631 so um in terms of the operational
2W5xtODW5m8-00353-00110632-00110839 impacts as i've said you can see the
2W5xtODW5m8-00354-00110840-00111007 staffing changes
2W5xtODW5m8-00355-00111008-00111358 on the left-hand side of this
2W5xtODW5m8-00356-00111359-00111654 chart the full-time uh positions that
2W5xtODW5m8-00357-00111655-00111775 were vacant
2W5xtODW5m8-00358-00111776-00112158 and the fact that they were vacant
2W5xtODW5m8-00359-00112159-00112431 actually allowed us to not really lay
2W5xtODW5m8-00360-00112432-00112551 anyone off
2W5xtODW5m8-00361-00112552-00112886 which i know other departments have had
2W5xtODW5m8-00362-00112888-00113151 had to do so these were unfunded
2W5xtODW5m8-00363-00113152-00113366 positions three of them
2W5xtODW5m8-00364-00113367-00113663 that we had we have unfunded those
2W5xtODW5m8-00365-00113664-00113871 vacant they were vacant positions
2W5xtODW5m8-00366-00113872-00114119 the one as i had mentioned that we were
2W5xtODW5m8-00367-00114120-00114254 promised essentially to work on the
2W5xtODW5m8-00368-00114255-00114390 neighborhood court and community
2W5xtODW5m8-00369-00114391-00114534 outreach program
2W5xtODW5m8-00370-00114535-00114847 we understand that it was necessary at
2W5xtODW5m8-00371-00114848-00114966 this point
2W5xtODW5m8-00372-00114967-00115302 to eliminate that position as
2W5xtODW5m8-00373-00115303-00115663 one of our budget positions and
2W5xtODW5m8-00374-00115664-00116015 we also uh understand that
2W5xtODW5m8-00375-00116016-00116327 with respect to um
2W5xtODW5m8-00376-00116328-00116590 other positions the support to it
2W5xtODW5m8-00377-00116591-00116639 support
2W5xtODW5m8-00378-00116640-00116847 a technical support position legal
2W5xtODW5m8-00379-00116848-00117031 secretary position
2W5xtODW5m8-00380-00117032-00117310 um and the extra help uh legal secretary
2W5xtODW5m8-00381-00117311-00117375 position
2W5xtODW5m8-00382-00117376-00117590 that those were areas that we were able
2W5xtODW5m8-00383-00117591-00117710 to
2W5xtODW5m8-00384-00117711-00118054 reduce our costs significantly which
2W5xtODW5m8-00385-00118055-00118302 resulted really with the other cuts that
2W5xtODW5m8-00386-00118303-00118399 we were able to do
2W5xtODW5m8-00387-00118400-00118695 in not literally having to fire lay
2W5xtODW5m8-00388-00118696-00118807 people off
2W5xtODW5m8-00389-00118808-00119143 and have them out of a job
2W5xtODW5m8-00390-00119144-00119334 there are however some significant
2W5xtODW5m8-00391-00119335-00119551 impacts as i have said before this board
2W5xtODW5m8-00392-00119552-00119719 on many occasions
2W5xtODW5m8-00393-00119720-00119886 we have always tried to do more with
2W5xtODW5m8-00394-00119888-00120047 less um
2W5xtODW5m8-00395-00120048-00120295 that we have always sort of tried to run
2W5xtODW5m8-00396-00120296-00120390 a lean shop
2W5xtODW5m8-00397-00120391-00120695 for a whole host of reasons we just
2W5xtODW5m8-00398-00120696-00120919 think it's the way to do business
2W5xtODW5m8-00399-00120920-00121231 but make no mistake there are because of
2W5xtODW5m8-00400-00121232-00121383 the resources
2W5xtODW5m8-00401-00121383-00121614 that are reduced and resources that are
2W5xtODW5m8-00402-00121615-00121766 available for us
2W5xtODW5m8-00403-00121767-00122071 there have been some sort some impacts
2W5xtODW5m8-00404-00122072-00122431 which we are trying to to work around
2W5xtODW5m8-00405-00122432-00122766 um but and delays are are
2W5xtODW5m8-00406-00122767-00122966 unfortunately just going to occur those
2W5xtODW5m8-00407-00122967-00123110 are going to occur
2W5xtODW5m8-00408-00123111-00123407 because of the reduced staffing issues
2W5xtODW5m8-00409-00123408-00123607 but they're also occurring because of
2W5xtODW5m8-00410-00123608-00123927 safety procedures put in place um
2W5xtODW5m8-00411-00123928-00124239 because of covet 19. in terms of one of
2W5xtODW5m8-00412-00124240-00124351 the impacts
2W5xtODW5m8-00413-00124352-00124663 i just want to say we are extremely
2W5xtODW5m8-00414-00124664-00124799 proud that we really
2W5xtODW5m8-00415-00124800-00125031 have started the da's office was a
2W5xtODW5m8-00416-00125032-00125199 spearhead in starting the first child
2W5xtODW5m8-00417-00125200-00125390 interview center
2W5xtODW5m8-00418-00125391-00125583 in this county a multidisciplinary
2W5xtODW5m8-00419-00125583-00125734 interview center which i know that all
2W5xtODW5m8-00420-00125735-00125927 of you supported as well as all of law
2W5xtODW5m8-00421-00125928-00126031 enforcement in this
2W5xtODW5m8-00422-00126032-00126423 county we had a goal of trying to
2W5xtODW5m8-00423-00126424-00126734 serve 100 clients
2W5xtODW5m8-00424-00126735-00127031 but that goal because of various sort of
2W5xtODW5m8-00425-00127032-00127239 safety precautions and all that we are
2W5xtODW5m8-00426-00127240-00127414 having to delay that goal we are still
2W5xtODW5m8-00427-00127415-00127575 utilizing the center
2W5xtODW5m8-00428-00127576-00127799 but we're utilizing it in a different
2W5xtODW5m8-00429-00127800-00127878 way and
2W5xtODW5m8-00430-00127879-00128151 frankly achieving the the goal of 100
2W5xtODW5m8-00431-00128152-00128247 clients
2W5xtODW5m8-00432-00128248-00128502 is is not going to take place uh in the
2W5xtODW5m8-00433-00128503-00128663 immediate future we're hoping to
2W5xtODW5m8-00434-00128664-00128966 by june 2021 if we can
2W5xtODW5m8-00435-00128967-00129223 get back on track we can do that the
2W5xtODW5m8-00436-00129224-00129286 other
2W5xtODW5m8-00437-00129288-00129486 impact that we wanted to talk about was
2W5xtODW5m8-00438-00129488-00129607 one of the goals that we had was
2W5xtODW5m8-00439-00129608-00129807 leveraging our technology
2W5xtODW5m8-00440-00129808-00130007 to streamline discovery procedure
2W5xtODW5m8-00441-00130008-00130199 discovery is the providing of reports
2W5xtODW5m8-00442-00130200-00130463 and information to the other side
2W5xtODW5m8-00443-00130464-00130814 and the reason that we wanted to do that
2W5xtODW5m8-00444-00130815-00130895 is i used to
2W5xtODW5m8-00445-00130896-00131054 tell you that the files were you know
2W5xtODW5m8-00446-00131055-00131199 when i first started this thick and then
2W5xtODW5m8-00447-00131200-00131319 they got this thing
2W5xtODW5m8-00448-00131320-00131487 with the advent of body cameras and all
2W5xtODW5m8-00449-00131488-00131663 the other sort of storage
2W5xtODW5m8-00450-00131664-00131839 that is required and all of the
2W5xtODW5m8-00451-00131840-00131990 information that needs to get pushed to
2W5xtODW5m8-00452-00131991-00132111 the other side
2W5xtODW5m8-00453-00132112-00132271 we have really started to think about
2W5xtODW5m8-00454-00132272-00132487 better ways to do that easier ways to do
2W5xtODW5m8-00455-00132488-00132583 that
2W5xtODW5m8-00456-00132584-00132854 more automated ways to do that and we
2W5xtODW5m8-00457-00132855-00133047 have had success with that
2W5xtODW5m8-00458-00133048-00133311 but i will say that is also a goal that
2W5xtODW5m8-00459-00133312-00133487 that is going to be delayed
2W5xtODW5m8-00460-00133488-00133766 to realize its full sort of
2W5xtODW5m8-00461-00133767-00133927 implementation
2W5xtODW5m8-00462-00133928-00134111 and finally one of the other things that
2W5xtODW5m8-00463-00134112-00134278 we had talked about as one of our
2W5xtODW5m8-00464-00134279-00134639 uh goals was to start a new sort of gang
2W5xtODW5m8-00465-00134640-00134783 prevention unit we've got
2W5xtODW5m8-00466-00134784-00134935 a lot of folks that are out there on the
2W5xtODW5m8-00467-00134936-00135087 streets in our
2W5xtODW5m8-00468-00135088-00135435 uh gang unit that is
2W5xtODW5m8-00469-00135436-00135607 multi-jurisdictional
2W5xtODW5m8-00470-00135608-00135807 and there was a real sort of need that
2W5xtODW5m8-00471-00135808-00135911 they saw to
2W5xtODW5m8-00472-00135912-00136183 sort of push out information to younger
2W5xtODW5m8-00473-00136184-00136271 people
2W5xtODW5m8-00474-00136272-00136511 and we were working with the school
2W5xtODW5m8-00475-00136512-00136687 board to try to get some of those things
2W5xtODW5m8-00476-00136688-00136783 implemented
2W5xtODW5m8-00477-00136784-00137014 and i will say that because of uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00478-00137015-00137183 distancing and
2W5xtODW5m8-00479-00137184-00137431 at home learning that those goals are
2W5xtODW5m8-00480-00137432-00137559 essentially
2W5xtODW5m8-00481-00137560-00137766 slowing down and we have not been able
2W5xtODW5m8-00482-00137767-00137943 to sort of implement that
2W5xtODW5m8-00483-00137944-00138231 i wanted to touch finally on just
2W5xtODW5m8-00484-00138232-00138366 something that i had
2W5xtODW5m8-00485-00138367-00138495 talked about there are a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-00486-00138496-00138654 uncertainties there's uncertainties for
2W5xtODW5m8-00487-00138655-00138711 us
2W5xtODW5m8-00488-00138712-00139078 for our county and those uncertainties
2W5xtODW5m8-00489-00139079-00139327 as you and everybody well knows our
2W5xtODW5m8-00490-00139328-00139502 federal and state
2W5xtODW5m8-00491-00139503-00139727 funding how the budget is going to be
2W5xtODW5m8-00492-00139728-00139871 affected ultimately when
2W5xtODW5m8-00493-00139872-00140078 when federal funding shakes out and
2W5xtODW5m8-00494-00140079-00140247 state funding shakes out
2W5xtODW5m8-00495-00140248-00140495 what's going to happen with the kovid 19
2W5xtODW5m8-00496-00140496-00140727 pandemic that we are experienced
2W5xtODW5m8-00497-00140728-00140943 experiencing and sort of the effect on
2W5xtODW5m8-00498-00140944-00141183 court operations which is
2W5xtODW5m8-00499-00141184-00141390 kind of a moving target and the court
2W5xtODW5m8-00500-00141391-00141566 has adapted as
2W5xtODW5m8-00501-00141567-00141847 as appropriate and we certainly need to
2W5xtODW5m8-00502-00141848-00141983 respond to that
2W5xtODW5m8-00503-00141984-00142199 as well as new legislation i will tell
2W5xtODW5m8-00504-00142200-00142383 you there's a lot of legislation coming
2W5xtODW5m8-00505-00142384-00142447 out
2W5xtODW5m8-00506-00142448-00142654 and when new legislation comes out
2W5xtODW5m8-00507-00142655-00142766 invariably
2W5xtODW5m8-00508-00142767-00143078 it puts more burdens on da's offices and
2W5xtODW5m8-00509-00143079-00143278 others inside the system
2W5xtODW5m8-00510-00143279-00143526 so we have found ourselves sort of
2W5xtODW5m8-00511-00143527-00143695 having to realign
2W5xtODW5m8-00512-00143696-00143959 and i know other agencies have as well
2W5xtODW5m8-00513-00143960-00144111 to try to accommodate

2W5xtODW5m8-00572-00157440-00157590 highlight the work that your team had
2W5xtODW5m8-00573-00157591-00157639 done on
2W5xtODW5m8-00574-00157640-00157935 outreach in particular in my district
2W5xtODW5m8-00575-00157936-00158007 regarding
2W5xtODW5m8-00576-00158008-00158278 crimes against seniors and fraud uh the
2W5xtODW5m8-00577-00158279-00158407 work that both
2W5xtODW5m8-00578-00158408-00158719 you and your team did uh was really
2W5xtODW5m8-00579-00158720-00158783 invaluable
2W5xtODW5m8-00580-00158784-00158919 we had a significant amount of people
2W5xtODW5m8-00581-00158920-00159102 showing up to these trainings there was
2W5xtODW5m8-00582-00159103-00159366 a lot of use and it goes to show
2W5xtODW5m8-00583-00159367-00159526 uh what we can do when we have these
2W5xtODW5m8-00584-00159527-00159735 programs as supervisor mcpherson was
2W5xtODW5m8-00585-00159736-00159831 noting
2W5xtODW5m8-00586-00159832-00160071 uh these these grander it isn't just
2W5xtODW5m8-00587-00160072-00160231 about the prosecution side it's also
2W5xtODW5m8-00588-00160232-00160431 about this educational side that really
2W5xtODW5m8-00589-00160432-00160495 prevents
2W5xtODW5m8-00590-00160496-00160631 a lot of crime from occurring in the
2W5xtODW5m8-00591-00160632-00160759 first place when people have the
2W5xtODW5m8-00592-00160760-00160887 knowledge that you
2W5xtODW5m8-00593-00160888-00161143 and your team bring to the table and
2W5xtODW5m8-00594-00161144-00161295 every year i do want to also add a
2W5xtODW5m8-00595-00161296-00161463 special thanks to your
2W5xtODW5m8-00596-00161464-00161799 victim services team uh really unsung
2W5xtODW5m8-00597-00161800-00161926 heroes within
2W5xtODW5m8-00598-00161927-00162111 your world about people that that work
2W5xtODW5m8-00599-00162112-00162278 with with victims of crime throughout
2W5xtODW5m8-00600-00162279-00162439 the entire process sylvia and others
2W5xtODW5m8-00601-00162440-00162478 that
2W5xtODW5m8-00602-00162479-00162775 that do so much and uh they go quietly
2W5xtODW5m8-00603-00162776-00162911 but but they mean so much
2W5xtODW5m8-00604-00162912-00163151 in that world so there's a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-00605-00163152-00163254 changes occurring within
2W5xtODW5m8-00606-00163255-00163431 the general criminal justice system that
2W5xtODW5m8-00607-00163432-00163575 has a lot of impacts on the work that
2W5xtODW5m8-00608-00163576-00163807 you guys do but
2W5xtODW5m8-00609-00163808-00164183 you always have victims of crime uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00610-00164184-00164366 in their best interests and heart and i
2W5xtODW5m8-00611-00164367-00164551 just wanted to be sure that it was
2W5xtODW5m8-00612-00164552-00164678 acknowledged about the outreach that you
2W5xtODW5m8-00613-00164679-00164799 do on the front end
2W5xtODW5m8-00614-00164800-00164919 and that that's a really valuable
2W5xtODW5m8-00615-00164920-00165038 component of the work that you do so
2W5xtODW5m8-00616-00165039-00165502 thank you mr roselle
2W5xtODW5m8-00617-00165503-00165911 uh thank you uh supervisor kuniti
2W5xtODW5m8-00618-00165912-00166207 yeah uh thank you mr attorney rozelle my
2W5xtODW5m8-00619-00166208-00166287 only question
2W5xtODW5m8-00620-00166288-00166526 really is um i know the courts have
2W5xtODW5m8-00621-00166527-00166631 undergone some
2W5xtODW5m8-00622-00166632-00166871 significant changes as a result in their
2W5xtODW5m8-00623-00166872-00167183 operations as a result of kovid
2W5xtODW5m8-00624-00167184-00167390 what do you see in terms of some of
2W5xtODW5m8-00625-00167391-00167590 those sticking around
2W5xtODW5m8-00626-00167591-00167926 postcovid um and sort of
2W5xtODW5m8-00627-00167927-00168214 changing the way we do business say this
2W5xtODW5m8-00628-00168215-00168295 um
2W5xtODW5m8-00629-00168296-00168638 i i it's really it's in terms of how the
2W5xtODW5m8-00630-00168639-00168726 court conducts
2W5xtODW5m8-00631-00168727-00168990 its business it's really up to the court
2W5xtODW5m8-00632-00168991-00169095 but i can tell you
2W5xtODW5m8-00633-00169096-00169302 um we have been advocates for a long
2W5xtODW5m8-00634-00169303-00169551 time for video arraignments
2W5xtODW5m8-00635-00169552-00169790 when appropriate for people in the jail
2W5xtODW5m8-00636-00169791-00169935 so that they did not need to be
2W5xtODW5m8-00637-00169936-00170071 transported
2W5xtODW5m8-00638-00170072-00170399 and frankly create what some would view
2W5xtODW5m8-00639-00170400-00170551 as an undue burden on the sheriff's
2W5xtODW5m8-00640-00170552-00170623 office
2W5xtODW5m8-00641-00170624-00170799 and undue burden on the court system and
2W5xtODW5m8-00642-00170800-00170935 all that so
2W5xtODW5m8-00643-00170936-00171126 some of these video arrangements that
2W5xtODW5m8-00644-00171127-00171271 are taking place it is
2W5xtODW5m8-00645-00171272-00171519 our hope and my hope that we can
2W5xtODW5m8-00646-00171520-00171678 continue some of this
2W5xtODW5m8-00647-00171679-00172047 and use technology to uh sort of reduce
2W5xtODW5m8-00648-00172048-00172263 the workload and reduce the
2W5xtODW5m8-00649-00172264-00172631 dangers involved to everybody so i think
2W5xtODW5m8-00650-00172632-00172838 that would be one area just off the top
2W5xtODW5m8-00651-00172839-00172959 of my head
2W5xtODW5m8-00652-00172960-00173214 the second thing with respect to the
2W5xtODW5m8-00653-00173215-00173343 courts is
2W5xtODW5m8-00654-00173344-00173607 trying to eliminate delay delay is
2W5xtODW5m8-00655-00173608-00173678 something that
2W5xtODW5m8-00656-00173679-00174014 is sort of the way business
2W5xtODW5m8-00657-00174015-00174166 needs to get conducted because it just
2W5xtODW5m8-00658-00174167-00174375 takes so long to provide
2W5xtODW5m8-00659-00174376-00174614 information from our op from the police
2W5xtODW5m8-00660-00174615-00174751 to us and from us
2W5xtODW5m8-00661-00174752-00175063 uh to the other side and so a lot of the
2W5xtODW5m8-00662-00175064-00175254 technology that we were looking at that
2W5xtODW5m8-00663-00175255-00175407 we have been trying to leverage and this
2W5xtODW5m8-00664-00175408-00175566 is especially true
2W5xtODW5m8-00665-00175567-00175790 in light of you know body camera video
2W5xtODW5m8-00666-00175791-00175878 now which
2W5xtODW5m8-00667-00175879-00176166 uh is relatively new in the last several
2W5xtODW5m8-00668-00176167-00176254 years
2W5xtODW5m8-00669-00176255-00176551 uh all of the uh information contraind
2W5xtODW5m8-00670-00176552-00176726 on electronic devices
2W5xtODW5m8-00671-00176727-00176966 and all that so i think that's another
2W5xtODW5m8-00672-00176967-00177175 sort of area supervisor community that
2W5xtODW5m8-00673-00177176-00177263 is
2W5xtODW5m8-00674-00177264-00177463 is here to stay and that we've seen sort
2W5xtODW5m8-00675-00177464-00177654 of a a push
2W5xtODW5m8-00676-00177655-00177838 for all parties and the courts have
2W5xtODW5m8-00677-00177839-00178095 recognized that look if we support this
2W5xtODW5m8-00678-00178096-00178302 we can get business done much more
2W5xtODW5m8-00679-00178303-00178511 efficiently less continuances so those
2W5xtODW5m8-00680-00178512-00178678 are two areas just off the top of my
2W5xtODW5m8-00681-00178679-00178743 head
2W5xtODW5m8-00682-00178744-00178975 that i think are here to stay and i
2W5xtODW5m8-00683-00178976-00179566 certainly hope so thank you
2W5xtODW5m8-00684-00179567-00179831 thank you supervisor community okay my
2W5xtODW5m8-00685-00179832-00179983 supervisor leopold

2W5xtODW5m8-00693-00181191-00181335 her on the
2W5xtODW5m8-00694-00181336-00181623 task force on justice and gender she was
2W5xtODW5m8-00695-00181624-00181647 an
2W5xtODW5m8-00696-00181648-00181926 active and very useful participant and i
2W5xtODW5m8-00697-00181927-00182063 really appreciated the commitment that
2W5xtODW5m8-00698-00182064-00182231 the district attorney's office made to
2W5xtODW5m8-00699-00182232-00182302 make that
2W5xtODW5m8-00700-00182303-00182583 a success and as we have moving that
2W5xtODW5m8-00701-00182584-00182654 into
2W5xtODW5m8-00702-00182655-00182887 the commission uh i hope that we will
2W5xtODW5m8-00703-00182888-00183078 have the continued participation of your
2W5xtODW5m8-00704-00183079-00183159 office
2W5xtODW5m8-00705-00183160-00183407 uh because it's we found that by working
2W5xtODW5m8-00706-00183408-00183583 together we could really make
2W5xtODW5m8-00707-00183584-00183847 some good changes and hopefully break
2W5xtODW5m8-00708-00183848-00183983 the cycle of intergenerational
2W5xtODW5m8-00709-00183984-00184071 incarceration
2W5xtODW5m8-00710-00184072-00184407 in santa cruz county
2W5xtODW5m8-00711-00184408-00184583 the choices that you've made with the
2W5xtODW5m8-00712-00184584-00184814 budget i know are all very difficult
2W5xtODW5m8-00713-00184815-00185087 one program that i just wanted to talk
2W5xtODW5m8-00714-00185088-00185199 about was the neighborhood courts
2W5xtODW5m8-00715-00185200-00185278 program

2W5xtODW5m8-00718-00185672-00185966 commitment of your office

2W5xtODW5m8-00720-00186312-00186438 and as i understand it from your
2W5xtODW5m8-00721-00186439-00186711 presentation we're it's not going away
2W5xtODW5m8-00722-00186712-00186990 that you hope to have a delayed start
2W5xtODW5m8-00723-00186991-00187119 and what do you think that would look
2W5xtODW5m8-00724-00187120-00187159 like
2W5xtODW5m8-00725-00187160-00187383 uh when that when you're able to start
2W5xtODW5m8-00726-00187384-00187502 the program so i
2W5xtODW5m8-00727-00187503-00187719 i on a couple of points that you just
2W5xtODW5m8-00728-00187720-00187871 made i just want to say this
2W5xtODW5m8-00729-00187872-00188166 ms george's contribution to our office
2W5xtODW5m8-00730-00188167-00188350 and to the program that you mentioned
2W5xtODW5m8-00731-00188351-00188519 and also to the neighborhood court
2W5xtODW5m8-00732-00188520-00188735 program which she has been spearheading
2W5xtODW5m8-00733-00188736-00188990 are absolutely invaluable i can tell you
2W5xtODW5m8-00734-00188991-00189207 that we are continuing to work with the
2W5xtODW5m8-00735-00189208-00189383 conflict resolution center we are
2W5xtODW5m8-00736-00189384-00189614 continuing to work with probation
2W5xtODW5m8-00737-00189615-00189854 and as it stands right now we're trying
2W5xtODW5m8-00738-00189855-00189943 to
2W5xtODW5m8-00739-00189944-00190271 uh sort of roll this out in december
2W5xtODW5m8-00740-00190272-00190319 that is
2W5xtODW5m8-00741-00190320-00190647 sort of the projected timeline it's not
2W5xtODW5m8-00742-00190648-00190759 the timeline and that's
2W5xtODW5m8-00743-00190760-00191063 necessarily that we initially had um
2W5xtODW5m8-00744-00191064-00191390 and we are able to i think start to
2W5xtODW5m8-00745-00191391-00191550 accomplish some of the goals i don't
2W5xtODW5m8-00746-00191551-00191719 know that it's going to be
2W5xtODW5m8-00747-00191720-00192054 necessarily rolled out as fast and
2W5xtODW5m8-00748-00192055-00192287 on as large a scale as it was going to
2W5xtODW5m8-00749-00192288-00192366 be
2W5xtODW5m8-00750-00192367-00192678 but it is certainly our intention to
2W5xtODW5m8-00751-00192679-00192878 push forward on this despite frankly
2W5xtODW5m8-00752-00192879-00193078 losing an attorney that was supposed to
2W5xtODW5m8-00753-00193079-00193311 be dedicated to this
2W5xtODW5m8-00754-00193312-00193495 so i don't if the court i mean if the
2W5xtODW5m8-00755-00193496-00193743 board has any more specific questions
2W5xtODW5m8-00756-00193744-00193966 well no i i'm glad to see that it's
2W5xtODW5m8-00757-00193967-00194135 moving forward i know a lot of work has
2W5xtODW5m8-00758-00194136-00194254 been put into it
2W5xtODW5m8-00759-00194255-00194543 um i thought that there was some prop 47
2W5xtODW5m8-00760-00194544-00194759 funds that were also connected to this
2W5xtODW5m8-00761-00194760-00195119 i'm not sure if that's accurate or not
2W5xtODW5m8-00762-00195120-00195287 yeah yeah but i think that's a potential
2W5xtODW5m8-00763-00195288-00195423 but i don't know that that is
2W5xtODW5m8-00764-00195424-00195687 uh is a given at this point well i just
2W5xtODW5m8-00765-00195688-00195743 think that
2W5xtODW5m8-00766-00195744-00195926 that uh in our community it should be
2W5xtODW5m8-00767-00195927-00196143 one of the tools that we have
2W5xtODW5m8-00768-00196144-00196431 in the judicial system uh to be able to
2W5xtODW5m8-00769-00196432-00196526 to deal with
2W5xtODW5m8-00770-00196527-00196783 uh low-level crimes uh that can be held
2W5xtODW5m8-00771-00196784-00196838 uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00772-00196839-00197150 especially now as we look um in the
2W5xtODW5m8-00773-00197151-00197311 during this time of covid where
2W5xtODW5m8-00774-00197312-00197471 the the sheriff's working to keep the
2W5xtODW5m8-00775-00197472-00197654 the census down in the jail
2W5xtODW5m8-00776-00197655-00197871 to have other means to hold people
2W5xtODW5m8-00777-00197872-00198047 accountable seems like that there's
2W5xtODW5m8-00778-00198048-00198319 there's there's additional value than
2W5xtODW5m8-00779-00198320-00198399 what we
2W5xtODW5m8-00780-00198400-00198607 had before and so i just appreciate the
2W5xtODW5m8-00781-00198608-00198750 commitment and the ongoing work that
2W5xtODW5m8-00782-00198751-00198863 your office
2W5xtODW5m8-00783-00198864-00199111 uh has put into it and and i look
2W5xtODW5m8-00784-00199112-00199238 forward to december when
2W5xtODW5m8-00785-00199239-00199550 um when it's it starts forming
2W5xtODW5m8-00786-00199551-00199766 uh i appreciate that work i appreciate
2W5xtODW5m8-00787-00199767-00199926 that the uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00788-00199927-00200078 the difficult choices that you had to

2W5xtODW5m8-00801-00202336-00202535 continuing issues in terms of community
2W5xtODW5m8-00802-00202536-00202590 safety

2W5xtODW5m8-00807-00203520-00203831 uh you're impacted like you know every
2W5xtODW5m8-00808-00203832-00204135 department in the county and
2W5xtODW5m8-00809-00204136-00204607 um i i'm just a little curious i mean
2W5xtODW5m8-00810-00204608-00204998 with uh how do we handle
2W5xtODW5m8-00811-00205000-00205246 let's say this continues for a while how
2W5xtODW5m8-00812-00205248-00205334 do we handle
2W5xtODW5m8-00813-00205335-00205638 a trial by jury and picking
2W5xtODW5m8-00814-00205639-00205951 the jury and you have you pretty much
2W5xtODW5m8-00815-00205952-00206182 have to do that in person
2W5xtODW5m8-00816-00206183-00206438 yeah it is i will say this you you've
2W5xtODW5m8-00817-00206439-00206534 really hit on
2W5xtODW5m8-00818-00206535-00206838 one of the most challenging um
2W5xtODW5m8-00819-00206839-00207190 uh issues that that face uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00820-00207191-00207382 all of us in this community the courts
2W5xtODW5m8-00821-00207383-00207527 the district attorneys and the public
2W5xtODW5m8-00822-00207528-00207686 defenders and that is
2W5xtODW5m8-00823-00207687-00207903 how do you people have the right uh to
2W5xtODW5m8-00824-00207904-00208006 jury trials
2W5xtODW5m8-00825-00208007-00208206 and how do you empanel a jury in these
2W5xtODW5m8-00826-00208207-00208342 difficult times
2W5xtODW5m8-00827-00208344-00208494 and all i can say is it's a very
2W5xtODW5m8-00828-00208496-00208671 difficult proposition it's difficult for
2W5xtODW5m8-00829-00208671-00208975 us as well as the other 57 counties
2W5xtODW5m8-00830-00208976-00209262 uh in this state we talk to them as as
2W5xtODW5m8-00831-00209263-00209327 well as
2W5xtODW5m8-00832-00209328-00209655 across the country and they're trying to
2W5xtODW5m8-00833-00209656-00209742 take measures
2W5xtODW5m8-00834-00209744-00210079 uh to to sort of uh eliminate
2W5xtODW5m8-00835-00210080-00210391 having everyone come at one time
2W5xtODW5m8-00836-00210392-00210575 like we used to do they're sending out
2W5xtODW5m8-00837-00210576-00210710 questionnaires
2W5xtODW5m8-00838-00210711-00210951 about who is in a position to come in
2W5xtODW5m8-00839-00210952-00211119 who feels comfortable
2W5xtODW5m8-00840-00211119-00211351 coming in so there are some procedures
2W5xtODW5m8-00841-00211352-00211463 that
2W5xtODW5m8-00842-00211464-00211782 uh are are in place but i will tell you
2W5xtODW5m8-00843-00211783-00211879 this
2W5xtODW5m8-00844-00211880-00212231 in terms of efficient jury trials
2W5xtODW5m8-00845-00212232-00212503 it just is not uh the model of the old
2W5xtODW5m8-00846-00212504-00212551 days
2W5xtODW5m8-00847-00212552-00212871 it's going to be very very few
2W5xtODW5m8-00848-00212871-00213158 uh conducted at a time if not just one
2W5xtODW5m8-00849-00213159-00213239 or two
2W5xtODW5m8-00850-00213240-00213463 and it's a laborious process to try to
2W5xtODW5m8-00851-00213464-00213575 find jurors
2W5xtODW5m8-00852-00213576-00213734 who aren't compromised who feel
2W5xtODW5m8-00853-00213735-00213942 comfortable that can come in
2W5xtODW5m8-00854-00213944-00214263 and then distancing them it's it's a
2W5xtODW5m8-00855-00214264-00214398 difficult proposition we
2W5xtODW5m8-00856-00214400-00214663 had one jury trial that was suspended
2W5xtODW5m8-00857-00214664-00214823 when kovitz started
2W5xtODW5m8-00858-00214823-00215055 with existing jurors come back and that
2W5xtODW5m8-00859-00215056-00215246 case was completed but we had the
2W5xtODW5m8-00860-00215248-00215319 benefit of
2W5xtODW5m8-00861-00215319-00215582 existing jurors that already they just
2W5xtODW5m8-00862-00215583-00215687 took a break and then
2W5xtODW5m8-00863-00215688-00215910 came back but you hit the nail on the
2W5xtODW5m8-00864-00215911-00216142 head with picking juries as an extremely
2W5xtODW5m8-00865-00216144-00216215 difficult
2W5xtODW5m8-00866-00216216-00216415 uh challenging thing to do in these
2W5xtODW5m8-00867-00216416-00216567 times and
2W5xtODW5m8-00868-00216567-00216894 even if they were the jury would if they
2W5xtODW5m8-00869-00216896-00217142 had to do social distancing the
2W5xtODW5m8-00870-00217144-00217358 you know yeah the courtrooms are set up
2W5xtODW5m8-00871-00217359-00217510 that way now like they're not
2W5xtODW5m8-00872-00217511-00217671 like the old days if you go down you
2W5xtODW5m8-00873-00217671-00217846 will see just like you guys have
2W5xtODW5m8-00874-00217848-00218158 uh set up uh this with you know chairs
2W5xtODW5m8-00875-00218159-00218231 that are
2W5xtODW5m8-00876-00218232-00218494 six feet plus apart the court is doing
2W5xtODW5m8-00877-00218496-00218639 the same sort of thing but it it
2W5xtODW5m8-00878-00218640-00218798 make no mistake it is challenging and
2W5xtODW5m8-00879-00218800-00218951 difficult

2W5xtODW5m8-00957-00238432-00238655 but we couldn't have made it through if

2W5xtODW5m8-00960-00239167-00239351 moving on to the next slide we're we're
2W5xtODW5m8-00961-00239352-00239542 going to be talking today a little bit
2W5xtODW5m8-00962-00239544-00239687 about some good news on
2W5xtODW5m8-00963-00239688-00239951 crime data and then also a little bit of
2W5xtODW5m8-00964-00239952-00240055 concerning news
2W5xtODW5m8-00965-00240056-00240279 uh we're going to talk about our budget
2W5xtODW5m8-00966-00240280-00240415 and our revisions
2W5xtODW5m8-00967-00240416-00240894 and the operational impacts
2W5xtODW5m8-00968-00240896-00241255 we can move forward so i just wanted to
2W5xtODW5m8-00969-00241256-00241406 share this with you because there is a
2W5xtODW5m8-00970-00241407-00241534 lot of talk right now
2W5xtODW5m8-00971-00241535-00241798 about crime increasing and we're just
2W5xtODW5m8-00972-00241800-00241991 not seeing that in the unincorporated
2W5xtODW5m8-00973-00241992-00242127 area of the county
2W5xtODW5m8-00974-00242128-00242375 on the box on the right is the violent
2W5xtODW5m8-00975-00242376-00242542 crime rate per 1000
2W5xtODW5m8-00976-00242544-00242839 residents and so you can see the state
2W5xtODW5m8-00977-00242840-00243087 is experiencing about 4.4
2W5xtODW5m8-00978-00243088-00243391 violent crimes per 1000 state residents
2W5xtODW5m8-00979-00243392-00243567 and in unincorporated santa cruz we're
2W5xtODW5m8-00980-00243567-00243791 at about 1.8 so we're less than half of
2W5xtODW5m8-00981-00243792-00243919 the state average
2W5xtODW5m8-00982-00243919-00244191 on violent crimes on property crimes the
2W5xtODW5m8-00983-00244192-00244398 state's running at about 23.6
2W5xtODW5m8-00984-00244400-00244582 per 1 000 residents and we're at about
2W5xtODW5m8-00985-00244583-00244871 11.4 so again about half
2W5xtODW5m8-00986-00244871-00245110 and then our overall crime rate is at
2W5xtODW5m8-00987-00245111-00245223 13.5
2W5xtODW5m8-00988-00245223-00245527 where the state's at about 28.3 so we're
2W5xtODW5m8-00989-00245528-00245623 less than half of
2W5xtODW5m8-00990-00245623-00245879 of of the total crime rate which is
2W5xtODW5m8-00991-00245880-00246063 violent crime plus property crime is the
2W5xtODW5m8-00992-00246064-00246303 total crime rate
2W5xtODW5m8-00993-00246304-00246703 moving on to the next slide
2W5xtODW5m8-00994-00246704-00246967 i want to share this with you in that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-00995-00246967-00247151 the markers on the slide are
2W5xtODW5m8-00996-00247152-00247455 prison realignment in 2011
2W5xtODW5m8-00997-00247456-00247767 and then proposition 47 which both of
2W5xtODW5m8-00998-00247767-00247855 those were very
2W5xtODW5m8-00999-00247856-00248039 significant changes in the criminal
2W5xtODW5m8-01000-00248040-00248175 justice system
2W5xtODW5m8-01001-00248176-00248423 and there was a lot of concern about
2W5xtODW5m8-01002-00248423-00248623 those changes causing crime
2W5xtODW5m8-01003-00248623-00248975 to go up and as you can see in 2011 our
2W5xtODW5m8-01004-00248976-00249175 overall crime rate was running at about
2W5xtODW5m8-01005-00249176-00249510 27 total crimes per 1000 unincorporated
2W5xtODW5m8-01006-00249511-00249623 residents
2W5xtODW5m8-01007-00249623-00249798 and then after realignment had we
2W5xtODW5m8-01008-00249800-00249982 dropped down to about 17 crimes and
2W5xtODW5m8-01009-00249983-00250151 we've been relatively flat now for the
2W5xtODW5m8-01010-00250152-00250319 last eight years
2W5xtODW5m8-01011-00250319-00250598 and we're actually at a at a 10-year low
2W5xtODW5m8-01012-00250600-00250846 today at 14.6 crimes
2W5xtODW5m8-01013-00250848-00251110 per 1000 county residents so that's some
2W5xtODW5m8-01014-00251111-00251471 good news
2W5xtODW5m8-01015-00251471-00251791 moving on to uh homicides which this is
2W5xtODW5m8-01016-00251792-00251823 the
2W5xtODW5m8-01017-00251823-00252158 the bad news and that
2W5xtODW5m8-01018-00252159-00252358 agencies and jurisdictions across the
2W5xtODW5m8-01019-00252359-00252534 state and the country are seeing an
2W5xtODW5m8-01020-00252535-00252630 uptick right now
2W5xtODW5m8-01021-00252631-00252927 in homicides and on this slide what what
2W5xtODW5m8-01022-00252928-00253094 i think is significant is when you look
2W5xtODW5m8-01023-00253096-00253479 from 2013 to 2017 that five year span
2W5xtODW5m8-01024-00253480-00253551 there was
2W5xtODW5m8-01025-00253552-00253710 a total of two homicides in
2W5xtODW5m8-01026-00253711-00253951 unincorporated santa cruz county
2W5xtODW5m8-01027-00253952-00254198 and now in the last two and a half years
2W5xtODW5m8-01028-00254200-00254575 in 1819 and half of 20 we've had 13
2W5xtODW5m8-01029-00254576-00254767 murders in unincorporated santa cruz
2W5xtODW5m8-01030-00254767-00254879 county
2W5xtODW5m8-01031-00254880-00255087 and just this year alone we've had five
2W5xtODW5m8-01032-00255088-00255255 murders in the first six months
2W5xtODW5m8-01033-00255256-00255503 of the year and so this is a an area
2W5xtODW5m8-01034-00255504-00255703 that we're concerned about
2W5xtODW5m8-01035-00255704-00255934 there's a there's no real pattern to
2W5xtODW5m8-01036-00255935-00256167 this we can't blame it on just domestic
2W5xtODW5m8-01037-00256167-00256246 violence or
2W5xtODW5m8-01038-00256248-00256527 just gangs there's a lot of randomness
2W5xtODW5m8-01039-00256528-00256703 to the cases that we've had
2W5xtODW5m8-01040-00256704-00257006 and there's really no clear pattern on
2W5xtODW5m8-01041-00257007-00257503 why this is occurring
2W5xtODW5m8-01042-00257504-00257782 next slide please and then another way
2W5xtODW5m8-01043-00257783-00257951 of looking at the homicides is in five
2W5xtODW5m8-01044-00257952-00258046 year increments
2W5xtODW5m8-01045-00258048-00258279 and you can see that the 35 year average
2W5xtODW5m8-01046-00258280-00258406 is 19
2W5xtODW5m8-01047-00258407-00258527 over a five year period in
2W5xtODW5m8-01048-00258528-00258775 unincorporated santa cruz county
2W5xtODW5m8-01049-00258776-00259103 uh we're in the last block there for
2W5xtODW5m8-01050-00259104-00259198 four and a half years
2W5xtODW5m8-01051-00259200-00259527 we're at 14 and so it again that's a
2W5xtODW5m8-01052-00259528-00259694 concerning number we are ticking
2W5xtODW5m8-01053-00259696-00260039 up on our homicide rate
2W5xtODW5m8-01054-00260040-00260482 next slide getting into the budget
2W5xtODW5m8-01055-00260483-00260734 itself
2W5xtODW5m8-01056-00260735-00261063 next slide please the
2W5xtODW5m8-01057-00261064-00261375 the number that i'd like you to pay your
2W5xtODW5m8-01058-00261376-00261679 attention to is is uh that the second
2W5xtODW5m8-01059-00261680-00261798 line
2W5xtODW5m8-01060-00261800-00262151 with the green is we're we're looking at
2W5xtODW5m8-01061-00262152-00262319 a 6.6 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-01062-00262320-00262510 net county cost reduction in our revised
2W5xtODW5m8-01063-00262511-00262679 compared to our recommended
2W5xtODW5m8-01064-00262680-00262967 and an overall reduction of 4.2 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-01065-00262968-00263175 uh we're losing 21 positions
2W5xtODW5m8-01066-00263176-00263463 in this revised budget for a total staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01067-00263464-00263575 reduction
2W5xtODW5m8-01068-00263576-00264079 of about six percent
2W5xtODW5m8-01069-00264080-00264447 next slide so i'm just going to briefly
2W5xtODW5m8-01070-00264448-00264534 go over the
2W5xtODW5m8-01071-00264535-00264655 revisions and then i'm going to talk
2W5xtODW5m8-01072-00264656-00264839 about the impacts of these revisions in
2W5xtODW5m8-01073-00264840-00265023 the next slide but we're deleting
2W5xtODW5m8-01074-00265024-00265351 13 positions we're unfunding
2W5xtODW5m8-01075-00265352-00265567 nine and that's in addition to the 10
2W5xtODW5m8-01076-00265568-00265751 deputy share positions we unfunded in
2W5xtODW5m8-01077-00265752-00265903 june
2W5xtODW5m8-01078-00265904-00266095 we are we have closed our recovery
2W5xtODW5m8-01079-00266096-00266382 center we closed that on june 30th
2W5xtODW5m8-01080-00266383-00266703 without any additional revenues we're
2W5xtODW5m8-01081-00266704-00266839 going to be disbanding our focused
2W5xtODW5m8-01082-00266840-00266958 intervention team
2W5xtODW5m8-01083-00266959-00267230 and also disbanding the enforcement side
2W5xtODW5m8-01084-00267231-00267375 of the cannabis compliance
2W5xtODW5m8-01085-00267376-00267687 unit we're looking at suspending in
2W5xtODW5m8-01086-00267688-00267887 the construction and the accreditation
2W5xtODW5m8-01087-00267888-00268134 of our dna laboratory
2W5xtODW5m8-01088-00268135-00268343 we're looking at contracting a vendor
2W5xtODW5m8-01089-00268344-00268447 for food services
2W5xtODW5m8-01090-00268448-00268710 and corrections and deleting positions
2W5xtODW5m8-01091-00268711-00268879 behind that
2W5xtODW5m8-01092-00268880-00269079 and we're looking at eliminating some
2W5xtODW5m8-01093-00269080-00269287 inmate programming
2W5xtODW5m8-01094-00269288-00269567 and also eliminating non-mandated
2W5xtODW5m8-01095-00269568-00270015 training for our sworn staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01096-00270016-00270358 the impacts of of those reductions
2W5xtODW5m8-01097-00270359-00270687 are significant and when we talk about
2W5xtODW5m8-01098-00270688-00270895 eliminating all non-mandated training
2W5xtODW5m8-01099-00270896-00271103 for sworn staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01100-00271104-00271367 the state has a set level of training
2W5xtODW5m8-01101-00271368-00271510 that every police officer has to go
2W5xtODW5m8-01102-00271511-00271743 through but we go above and beyond that
2W5xtODW5m8-01103-00271744-00271958 and we've really focused our attention
2W5xtODW5m8-01104-00271959-00272095 on de-escalation
2W5xtODW5m8-01105-00272096-00272382 training we brought in a program called
2W5xtODW5m8-01106-00272383-00272582 icat which is integrated communications
2W5xtODW5m8-01107-00272583-00272775 assessment and tactics training
2W5xtODW5m8-01108-00272776-00273095 that is scenario-based training that has
2W5xtODW5m8-01109-00273096-00273127 been
2W5xtODW5m8-01110-00273128-00273382 very good we've run two sessions a year
2W5xtODW5m8-01111-00273383-00273534 now we're one of the first agencies in
2W5xtODW5m8-01112-00273535-00273663 the country to adopt this
2W5xtODW5m8-01113-00273664-00273830 now all agencies in the county are
2W5xtODW5m8-01114-00273831-00274063 utilizing that training program
2W5xtODW5m8-01115-00274064-00274223 but it's expensive it's expensive to
2W5xtODW5m8-01116-00274224-00274382 pull people off the street and train
2W5xtODW5m8-01117-00274383-00274599 it's important but it's expensive
2W5xtODW5m8-01118-00274600-00274806 and then we've also uh we won't be doing
2W5xtODW5m8-01119-00274807-00274999 any crisis intervention team training
2W5xtODW5m8-01120-00275000-00275223 this year which is a 24-hour block of
2W5xtODW5m8-01121-00275224-00275406 training that teaches our people
2W5xtODW5m8-01122-00275407-00275639 how to work with persons who are
2W5xtODW5m8-01123-00275640-00275758 experiencing
2W5xtODW5m8-01124-00275759-00276119 mental health crisis we
2W5xtODW5m8-01125-00276120-00276391 have canceled all police academies so
2W5xtODW5m8-01126-00276392-00276615 when covet hit in march we had 11
2W5xtODW5m8-01127-00276616-00276767 deputy sheriff trainees in police
2W5xtODW5m8-01128-00276768-00277087 academies and we pulled them back
2W5xtODW5m8-01129-00277088-00277382 and and and then we ultimately demoted
2W5xtODW5m8-01130-00277383-00277558 them to correctional officers and
2W5xtODW5m8-01131-00277559-00277734 unfunded those 10 deputy sheriff
2W5xtODW5m8-01132-00277735-00277967 positions
2W5xtODW5m8-01133-00277968-00278263 because of cobit we won't be sending
2W5xtODW5m8-01134-00278264-00278430 people to academies until there is a
2W5xtODW5m8-01135-00278431-00278655 vaccine until it's safe
2W5xtODW5m8-01136-00278656-00278975 and then it takes about a year of
2W5xtODW5m8-01137-00278976-00279047 training
2W5xtODW5m8-01138-00279048-00279223 and i don't anticipate us sending people
2W5xtODW5m8-01139-00279224-00279382 to academies for about
2W5xtODW5m8-01140-00279383-00279679 uh another year so uh through attrition
2W5xtODW5m8-01141-00279680-00279782 when people leave through
2W5xtODW5m8-01142-00279783-00280047 retirements or injuries we're gonna have
2W5xtODW5m8-01143-00280048-00280223 a real vacancy problem of just
2W5xtODW5m8-01144-00280224-00280487 maintaining our minimum staffing numbers
2W5xtODW5m8-01145-00280488-00280647 and so you may remember your board
2W5xtODW5m8-01146-00280648-00280975 approved us to go out and offer hiring
2W5xtODW5m8-01147-00280976-00281047 incentives
2W5xtODW5m8-01148-00281048-00281247 to experience police officers in a
2W5xtODW5m8-01149-00281248-00281519 lateral hiring program
2W5xtODW5m8-01150-00281520-00281855 and we were able to hire eight lateral
2W5xtODW5m8-01151-00281856-00282110 police officers who are now working in
2W5xtODW5m8-01152-00282111-00282239 our patrol division
2W5xtODW5m8-01153-00282240-00282415 and we have two in background so we will
2W5xtODW5m8-01154-00282416-00282630 have reached our capacity of 10
2W5xtODW5m8-01155-00282631-00282823 and moving forward i that this is the
2W5xtODW5m8-01156-00282824-00282934 only way i see us
2W5xtODW5m8-01157-00282935-00283230 attracting people to come here through
2W5xtODW5m8-01158-00283231-00283487 when when we have people retire or leave
2W5xtODW5m8-01159-00283488-00283663 and so i'll be working with the cio's
2W5xtODW5m8-01160-00283664-00283871 office and personnel and your board
2W5xtODW5m8-01161-00283872-00284063 to try to authorize five positions this
2W5xtODW5m8-01162-00284064-00284223 year for the lateral incentive hire
2W5xtODW5m8-01163-00284224-00284382 program
2W5xtODW5m8-01164-00284383-00284599 some good news uh is that your your
2W5xtODW5m8-01165-00284600-00284767 board approved our
2W5xtODW5m8-01166-00284768-00284991 medical contract and corrections back in
2W5xtODW5m8-01167-00284992-00285182 june and in that contract
2W5xtODW5m8-01168-00285183-00285454 was a very robust medication assisted
2W5xtODW5m8-01169-00285455-00285534 treatment
2W5xtODW5m8-01170-00285535-00285775 program our corrections team has been
2W5xtODW5m8-01171-00285776-00285903 working on that and we'll be
2W5xtODW5m8-01172-00285904-00286023 implementing that program
2W5xtODW5m8-01173-00286024-00286287 in the next week or two in corrections
2W5xtODW5m8-01174-00286288-00286391 which i think is going to be very
2W5xtODW5m8-01175-00286392-00286551 beneficial to some of the incarcerated
2W5xtODW5m8-01176-00286552-00286647 people
2W5xtODW5m8-01177-00286648-00286839 who are in custody who are who are
2W5xtODW5m8-01178-00286840-00287110 experiencing addiction issues
2W5xtODW5m8-01179-00287111-00287287 an area that i do want to bring to your
2W5xtODW5m8-01180-00287288-00287519 attention on the furlough side of it is
2W5xtODW5m8-01181-00287520-00287743 uh our corrections staff is furloughing
2W5xtODW5m8-01182-00287744-00287999 five percent our law enforcement side is
2W5xtODW5m8-01183-00288000-00288263 furloughing five percent
2W5xtODW5m8-01184-00288264-00288471 and that our seiu staff is furloughing
2W5xtODW5m8-01185-00288472-00288647 seven and a half percent i believe
2W5xtODW5m8-01186-00288648-00288951 and so we're able to
2W5xtODW5m8-01187-00288952-00289230 work with and accommodate the seiu staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01188-00289231-00289310 and also
2W5xtODW5m8-01189-00289311-00289591 most of our patrol staff but because we
2W5xtODW5m8-01190-00289592-00289615 are
2W5xtODW5m8-01191-00289616-00289806 only staffed in corrections to meet
2W5xtODW5m8-01192-00289807-00290023 minimum staffing levels every time
2W5xtODW5m8-01193-00290024-00290230 for every hour we furlough somebody we
2W5xtODW5m8-01194-00290231-00290367 have to bring in another correctional
2W5xtODW5m8-01195-00290368-00290527 officer on overtime
2W5xtODW5m8-01196-00290528-00290863 and so there's really no true savings in
2W5xtODW5m8-01197-00290864-00291023 furloughing corrections and this is
2W5xtODW5m8-01198-00291024-00291282 going to cause our overtime budget some
2W5xtODW5m8-01199-00291283-00291495 concerns in terms of
2W5xtODW5m8-01200-00291496-00291775 disbanding the focused intervention team
2W5xtODW5m8-01201-00291776-00291895 this is a program that
2W5xtODW5m8-01202-00291896-00292079 we presented to you i think back in
2W5xtODW5m8-01203-00292080-00292199 march
2W5xtODW5m8-01204-00292200-00292575 the first year's data and it's a very
2W5xtODW5m8-01205-00292576-00292775 valuable program and involves two deputy
2W5xtODW5m8-01206-00292776-00292943 sheriffs and a sergeant along with three
2W5xtODW5m8-01207-00292944-00293151 mental health social workers
2W5xtODW5m8-01208-00293152-00293447 who focus on a client list of 30 people
2W5xtODW5m8-01209-00293448-00293487 who
2W5xtODW5m8-01210-00293488-00293791 are really problematic in the community
2W5xtODW5m8-01211-00293792-00293943 they're they're raising fears in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01212-00293944-00294095 community they're acting out they're
2W5xtODW5m8-01213-00294096-00294271 refusing treatment
2W5xtODW5m8-01214-00294272-00294519 and this our fit team really did a nice
2W5xtODW5m8-01215-00294520-00294679 job of working with that group and
2W5xtODW5m8-01216-00294680-00294934 trying to guide them towards services
2W5xtODW5m8-01217-00294935-00295175 but because of the the extent of the
2W5xtODW5m8-01218-00295176-00295358 reductions that we've been asked to come
2W5xtODW5m8-01219-00295359-00295479 in at
2W5xtODW5m8-01220-00295480-00295654 without additional funding we're going
2W5xtODW5m8-01221-00295655-00295839 to have to disband
2W5xtODW5m8-01222-00295840-00296206 that team you may recall back
2W5xtODW5m8-01223-00296207-00296615 in june of 2015 i established a recovery
2W5xtODW5m8-01224-00296616-00296719 center
2W5xtODW5m8-01225-00296720-00296854 and that was for people who were
2W5xtODW5m8-01226-00296855-00297047 arrested for dui
2W5xtODW5m8-01227-00297048-00297263 public intoxication and being under the
2W5xtODW5m8-01228-00297264-00297447 influence of drugs
2W5xtODW5m8-01229-00297448-00297695 and we began the funding of that program
2W5xtODW5m8-01230-00297696-00297854 through a federal grant
2W5xtODW5m8-01231-00297855-00298039 and we contracted with janice of santa
2W5xtODW5m8-01232-00298040-00298167 cruz and
2W5xtODW5m8-01233-00298168-00298430 really turned those types of violations
2W5xtODW5m8-01234-00298431-00298567 into a health concern
2W5xtODW5m8-01235-00298568-00298830 rather than a criminal justice concern
2W5xtODW5m8-01236-00298831-00298910 janice
2W5xtODW5m8-01237-00298911-00299223 ran a really nice program had a clean
2W5xtODW5m8-01238-00299224-00299423 bed for these people and then tried
2W5xtODW5m8-01239-00299424-00299687 to encourage them into treatment and we
2W5xtODW5m8-01240-00299688-00299847 were able to divert about 2
2W5xtODW5m8-01241-00299848-00300071 000 people a year from the jail into the
2W5xtODW5m8-01242-00300072-00300279 recovery center
2W5xtODW5m8-01243-00300280-00300471 but when the grant ran out the county
2W5xtODW5m8-01244-00300472-00300582 took on
2W5xtODW5m8-01245-00300583-00300887 that 700 000 contract with janus
2W5xtODW5m8-01246-00300888-00301063 and because of these budget cuts we
2W5xtODW5m8-01247-00301064-00301279 we've had to close it
2W5xtODW5m8-01248-00301280-00301567 the other advantage to this program was
2W5xtODW5m8-01249-00301568-00301758 that it only took five minutes to drop
2W5xtODW5m8-01250-00301759-00301967 somebody off at the recovery center
2W5xtODW5m8-01251-00301968-00302143 and it takes about an hour to book
2W5xtODW5m8-01252-00302144-00302382 somebody in the county jail so
2W5xtODW5m8-01253-00302383-00302534 because we've had to close it we're back
2W5xtODW5m8-01254-00302535-00302734 to booking people and directly into the
2W5xtODW5m8-01255-00302735-00302847 county jail
2W5xtODW5m8-01256-00302848-00303087 for drug influence dui and public
2W5xtODW5m8-01257-00303088-00303375 intoxication
2W5xtODW5m8-01258-00303376-00303558 the the impacts of the cannabis
2W5xtODW5m8-01259-00303559-00303695 compliance unit
2W5xtODW5m8-01260-00303696-00304063 reductions are are really significant
2W5xtODW5m8-01261-00304064-00304279 and we've been paying for the law
2W5xtODW5m8-01262-00304280-00304391 enforcement side
2W5xtODW5m8-01263-00304392-00304558 of this includes two deputies and a
2W5xtODW5m8-01264-00304559-00304695 manager
2W5xtODW5m8-01265-00304696-00305063 and so uh i'm really down to just
2W5xtODW5m8-01266-00305064-00305287 essential services so i can no longer
2W5xtODW5m8-01267-00305288-00305430 afford paying
2W5xtODW5m8-01268-00305431-00305615 fully for that i'm i think i'm able to
2W5xtODW5m8-01269-00305616-00305887 pay for half of that cost
2W5xtODW5m8-01270-00305888-00306167 and so without further funding from the
2W5xtODW5m8-01271-00306168-00306206 board
2W5xtODW5m8-01272-00306207-00306423 i'm going to have to pull those staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01273-00306424-00306615 out of the cannabis compliance
2W5xtODW5m8-01274-00306616-00306854 unit which is concerning because uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01275-00306855-00307015 there's really not going to be any
2W5xtODW5m8-01276-00307016-00307199 incentive for people to follow the rules
2W5xtODW5m8-01277-00307200-00307343 and go through licensing
2W5xtODW5m8-01278-00307344-00307687 and and curtail the black market that we
2W5xtODW5m8-01279-00307688-00307895 see here in santa cruz county
2W5xtODW5m8-01280-00307896-00308110 and so i'm hoping that we can find a way
2W5xtODW5m8-01281-00308111-00308199 of continuing
2W5xtODW5m8-01282-00308200-00308343 that program i think it's very valuable
2W5xtODW5m8-01283-00308344-00308503 to the county and it also
2W5xtODW5m8-01284-00308504-00308743 encourages the good actors to keep doing
2W5xtODW5m8-01285-00308744-00308871 what they're doing and work with the
2W5xtODW5m8-01286-00308872-00309063 county
2W5xtODW5m8-01287-00309064-00309351 and then uh lastly uh this these
2W5xtODW5m8-01288-00309352-00309654 revisions have caused this to suspend
2W5xtODW5m8-01289-00309655-00309854 the construction and the accreditation
2W5xtODW5m8-01290-00309855-00309982 of our dna lab
2W5xtODW5m8-01291-00309983-00310158 and this this was going to be a game
2W5xtODW5m8-01292-00310159-00310303 changer for law enforcement in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01293-00310304-00310454 district attorney's office here in santa
2W5xtODW5m8-01294-00310455-00310599 cruz county
2W5xtODW5m8-01295-00310600-00310815 dna evidence is extremely valuable
2W5xtODW5m8-01296-00310816-00311030 primarily in sexual assault cases
2W5xtODW5m8-01297-00311031-00311399 and in homicide and violent crime
2W5xtODW5m8-01298-00311400-00311671 and we can turn around evidence in our
2W5xtODW5m8-01299-00311672-00311751 own lab
2W5xtODW5m8-01300-00311752-00312054 within 48 hours whereas when we submit
2W5xtODW5m8-01301-00312055-00312271 evidence to the state it takes six to 12
2W5xtODW5m8-01302-00312272-00312327 months
2W5xtODW5m8-01303-00312328-00312623 to get that information back and so we
2W5xtODW5m8-01304-00312624-00312903 were on year three of a five-year cycle
2W5xtODW5m8-01305-00312904-00313119 to accreditation and construction we
2W5xtODW5m8-01306-00313120-00313247 were really close to starting
2W5xtODW5m8-01307-00313248-00313447 construction when covet hit
2W5xtODW5m8-01308-00313448-00313591 but because of covet and these budget
2W5xtODW5m8-01309-00313592-00313806 reductions we've had to suspend our dna
2W5xtODW5m8-01310-00313807-00314103 lab which is unfortunate for local law
2W5xtODW5m8-01311-00314104-00314271 enforcement and also for survivors of
2W5xtODW5m8-01312-00314272-00314367 some of these
2W5xtODW5m8-01313-00314368-00314734 really horrific crimes that occur
2W5xtODW5m8-01314-00314735-00315047 next slide please so i just want to
2W5xtODW5m8-01315-00315048-00315199 touch on some uncertainties
2W5xtODW5m8-01316-00315200-00315423 uh this is my third cycle of furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-01317-00315424-00315606 i've been with the county for 32 years
2W5xtODW5m8-01318-00315607-00315734 been on furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-01319-00315735-00316054 for i think a quarter of that time and
2W5xtODW5m8-01320-00316055-00316167 i've also seen
2W5xtODW5m8-01321-00316168-00316471 a number of economic downturns and
2W5xtODW5m8-01322-00316472-00316679 during those 32 years and i know that
2W5xtODW5m8-01323-00316680-00316823 oftentimes
2W5xtODW5m8-01324-00316824-00317023 year two and even year three can be
2W5xtODW5m8-01325-00317024-00317182 worse than year one i'm hoping that's
2W5xtODW5m8-01326-00317183-00317327 not the case
2W5xtODW5m8-01327-00317328-00317510 i'm hoping that the economy bounces back
2W5xtODW5m8-01328-00317511-00317687 and our budgets get restored but we have
2W5xtODW5m8-01329-00317688-00317910 to plan for the worst and so
2W5xtODW5m8-01330-00317911-00318191 uh when i look at and i have staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01331-00318192-00318279 working on this
2W5xtODW5m8-01332-00318280-00318551 in terms of year two what what does
2W5xtODW5m8-01333-00318552-00318663 future reductions
2W5xtODW5m8-01334-00318664-00318943 look like and we're really down we've
2W5xtODW5m8-01335-00318944-00319006 cut out
2W5xtODW5m8-01336-00319007-00319303 a lot of the non-essential stuff out of
2W5xtODW5m8-01337-00319304-00319471 our budget and so we're really down to
2W5xtODW5m8-01338-00319472-00319623 closing correctional facilities
2W5xtODW5m8-01339-00319624-00319958 if year two is bad and the unfortunate
2W5xtODW5m8-01340-00319959-00320134 thing about that is that we will always
2W5xtODW5m8-01341-00320135-00320319 need a maximum security jail and that's
2W5xtODW5m8-01342-00320320-00320463 our main jail
2W5xtODW5m8-01343-00320464-00320671 and so that that would include closing
2W5xtODW5m8-01344-00320672-00320895 down possibly blaine street or the
2W5xtODW5m8-01345-00320896-00321039 roundtree facilities which
2W5xtODW5m8-01346-00321040-00321279 really focus on treatment education
2W5xtODW5m8-01347-00321280-00321391 programming
2W5xtODW5m8-01348-00321392-00321727 and getting people back on their feet
2W5xtODW5m8-01349-00321728-00321887 we would potentially be looking at
2W5xtODW5m8-01350-00321888-00322119 disbanding our investigations division
2W5xtODW5m8-01351-00322120-00322382 if we lose more deputy sheriff's staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01352-00322383-00322510 and those people work
2W5xtODW5m8-01353-00322511-00322687 we have a we have a full-time sexual
2W5xtODW5m8-01354-00322688-00322830 assault unit in fact it's the only
2W5xtODW5m8-01355-00322831-00322975 full-time sexual assault unit in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01356-00322976-00323103 county with three detectives and a
2W5xtODW5m8-01357-00323104-00323239 sergeant
2W5xtODW5m8-01358-00323240-00323430 we have a homicide unit that has been
2W5xtODW5m8-01359-00323431-00323751 very busy the last 30 months
2W5xtODW5m8-01360-00323752-00323903 and then we also have a property crimes
2W5xtODW5m8-01361-00323904-00324095 division that works on residential
2W5xtODW5m8-01362-00324096-00324182 burglaries and
2W5xtODW5m8-01363-00324183-00324351 identity theft and that type of stuff
2W5xtODW5m8-01364-00324352-00324510 but those people have
2W5xtODW5m8-01365-00324511-00324775 extra training and they have uh the
2W5xtODW5m8-01366-00324776-00324967 ability to work with the da's office in
2W5xtODW5m8-01367-00324968-00325175 the courts on obtaining search warrants
2W5xtODW5m8-01368-00325176-00325334 and doing all the follow-up that it
2W5xtODW5m8-01369-00325335-00325575 takes to investigate these cases
2W5xtODW5m8-01370-00325576-00325751 our deputies on the street don't have
2W5xtODW5m8-01371-00325752-00325919 that level of training nor do they have
2W5xtODW5m8-01372-00325920-00326079 the time
2W5xtODW5m8-01373-00326080-00326230 to follow up on some of these major
2W5xtODW5m8-01374-00326231-00326503 cases and then also we'd be looking at
2W5xtODW5m8-01375-00326504-00326687 disbanding our community policing teams
2W5xtODW5m8-01376-00326688-00326830 we're already pulling staff out of
2W5xtODW5m8-01377-00326831-00326967 community policing
2W5xtODW5m8-01378-00326968-00327167 we're going to keep our substations but
2W5xtODW5m8-01379-00327168-00327295 we're going to pull
2W5xtODW5m8-01380-00327296-00327479 staff out of the watsonville substation
2W5xtODW5m8-01381-00327480-00327687 as well as the felton substation so only
2W5xtODW5m8-01382-00327688-00327887 live oak aptos and boulder creek
2W5xtODW5m8-01383-00327888-00328254 will be staffed but if we uh get into
2W5xtODW5m8-01384-00328255-00328439 a further budget crisis we'll be looking
2W5xtODW5m8-01385-00328440-00328630 at removing those staff and and possibly
2W5xtODW5m8-01386-00328631-00328775 closing down some or all of those
2W5xtODW5m8-01387-00328776-00328967 substations
2W5xtODW5m8-01388-00328968-00329119 and then we're like i mentioned before
2W5xtODW5m8-01389-00329120-00329254 we're really is going to be down to
2W5xtODW5m8-01390-00329255-00329430 providing mandated services to the
2W5xtODW5m8-01391-00329431-00329615 public and that's court security to make
2W5xtODW5m8-01392-00329616-00329767 sure that there's judicial protection in
2W5xtODW5m8-01393-00329768-00329887 the courts
2W5xtODW5m8-01394-00329888-00330078 keeping our coroner's office open our
2W5xtODW5m8-01395-00330079-00330199 civil section open
2W5xtODW5m8-01396-00330200-00330382 our jails open and then having enough
2W5xtODW5m8-01397-00330383-00330543 deputies on the street to answer calls
2W5xtODW5m8-01398-00330544-00330943 for service
2W5xtODW5m8-01399-00330944-00331254 next slide and so with that information
2W5xtODW5m8-01400-00331255-00331406 i'm requesting
2W5xtODW5m8-01401-00331407-00331551 that the board approve the supplemental
2W5xtODW5m8-01402-00331552-00331751 budget for the sheriff's office

2W5xtODW5m8-01417-00335600-00335767 first question i'd have was
2W5xtODW5m8-01418-00335768-00336134 uh we had a comment about the sart team
2W5xtODW5m8-01419-00336135-00336295 and this eliminating the start
2W5xtODW5m8-01420-00336296-00336527 coordinator position can you talk about
2W5xtODW5m8-01421-00336528-00336854 the status of the start team and um what
2W5xtODW5m8-01422-00336855-00336934 that position
2W5xtODW5m8-01423-00336935-00337430 coordinator uh would add to that team
2W5xtODW5m8-01424-00337431-00337710 yeah so all as far as the status of the
2W5xtODW5m8-01425-00337711-00337806 sart program
2W5xtODW5m8-01426-00337807-00338071 we have the nurses hired through valley
2W5xtODW5m8-01427-00338072-00338271 medical center to work out of dominican
2W5xtODW5m8-01428-00338272-00338439 hospital
2W5xtODW5m8-01429-00338440-00338710 we have all the infrastructure in place
2W5xtODW5m8-01430-00338711-00338751 and
2W5xtODW5m8-01431-00338752-00338927 now we're just waiting on the hospital
2W5xtODW5m8-01432-00338928-00339223 to get a couple areas cleaned up on labs
2W5xtODW5m8-01433-00339224-00339367 and medication
2W5xtODW5m8-01434-00339368-00339551 and i talked to leadership over at
2W5xtODW5m8-01435-00339552-00339799 dominican last week and we're
2W5xtODW5m8-01436-00339800-00340030 looking at a starting date of august
2W5xtODW5m8-01437-00340031-00340127 24th
2W5xtODW5m8-01438-00340128-00340471 for local exams to take place the
2W5xtODW5m8-01439-00340472-00340654 program coordinator position was going
2W5xtODW5m8-01440-00340655-00340871 to be 50 funded by the county
2W5xtODW5m8-01441-00340872-00341087 and then 50 percent funded by the other
2W5xtODW5m8-01442-00341088-00341287 agencies
2W5xtODW5m8-01443-00341288-00341639 because we lost or have suspended our
2W5xtODW5m8-01444-00341640-00341863 dna accreditation that has allowed
2W5xtODW5m8-01445-00341864-00342191 dr zefro a little more time
2W5xtODW5m8-01446-00342192-00342447 and so we were just going to assign her
2W5xtODW5m8-01447-00342448-00342534 to be the
2W5xtODW5m8-01448-00342535-00342967 be the manager of of the sarp program
2W5xtODW5m8-01449-00342968-00343215 until funding came back and we restarted
2W5xtODW5m8-01450-00343216-00343334 the dna program
2W5xtODW5m8-01451-00343335-00343591 i do think the best case scenario for
2W5xtODW5m8-01452-00343592-00343710 the star program
2W5xtODW5m8-01453-00343711-00343919 is like that community member said is to
2W5xtODW5m8-01454-00343920-00344071 have a full-time program
2W5xtODW5m8-01455-00344072-00344406 coordinator assigned to it to coordinate
2W5xtODW5m8-01456-00344407-00344687 the local response along with valley med
2W5xtODW5m8-01457-00344688-00344830 response
2W5xtODW5m8-01458-00344831-00345119 to keep the room stocked and to to keep
2W5xtODW5m8-01459-00345120-00345263 us apprised of all the information that
2W5xtODW5m8-01460-00345264-00345382 it takes to run
2W5xtODW5m8-01461-00345383-00345671 uh a sarp program so i i think in the in
2W5xtODW5m8-01462-00345672-00345854 the best case scenario a program
2W5xtODW5m8-01463-00345855-00345919 coordinator
2W5xtODW5m8-01464-00345920-00346158 is completely appropriate and it's only
2W5xtODW5m8-01465-00346159-00346239 a 50
2W5xtODW5m8-01466-00346240-00346454 cost to the county but we're not in a
2W5xtODW5m8-01467-00346455-00346647 best case scenario right now we're in a
2W5xtODW5m8-01468-00346648-00346847 really really tough budget cycle and
2W5xtODW5m8-01469-00346848-00346887 we're
2W5xtODW5m8-01470-00346888-00347110 we're trying to keep as many employees
2W5xtODW5m8-01471-00347111-00347191 employed
2W5xtODW5m8-01472-00347192-00347454 as possible and so that's why we chose
2W5xtODW5m8-01473-00347455-00347710 to pull that out and assign dr zephro
2W5xtODW5m8-01474-00347711-00348015 uh to the program
2W5xtODW5m8-01475-00348016-00348230 um and do we have a sense as to whether
2W5xtODW5m8-01476-00348231-00348478 the other agencies are
2W5xtODW5m8-01477-00348479-00348671 are going to be able to commit their
2W5xtODW5m8-01478-00348672-00348910 share to that funding
2W5xtODW5m8-01479-00348911-00349134 yes we've had meetings about this and
2W5xtODW5m8-01480-00349135-00349334 all agencies are committed to it we have
2W5xtODW5m8-01481-00349335-00349415 a trust
2W5xtODW5m8-01482-00349416-00349703 that uh my fiscal manager kathy sams
2W5xtODW5m8-01483-00349704-00349782 administers
2W5xtODW5m8-01484-00349783-00349975 there's money in the trust to pay for
2W5xtODW5m8-01485-00349976-00350151 the other agencies fifty percent from
2W5xtODW5m8-01486-00350152-00350271 monies that they have put in there in
2W5xtODW5m8-01487-00350272-00350423 previous years
2W5xtODW5m8-01488-00350424-00350871 and so we we have all agencies on board
2W5xtODW5m8-01489-00350872-00351015 and in support of
2W5xtODW5m8-01490-00351016-00351399 the program coordinator position okay
2W5xtODW5m8-01491-00351400-00351687 uh and then my uh next question was
2W5xtODW5m8-01492-00351688-00351751 about
2W5xtODW5m8-01493-00351752-00352047 uh the fit team which was um both i
2W5xtODW5m8-01494-00352048-00352078 think
2W5xtODW5m8-01495-00352079-00352351 a really effective program and also
2W5xtODW5m8-01496-00352352-00352510 something that we went out and
2W5xtODW5m8-01497-00352511-00352854 um you know you and i among many others
2W5xtODW5m8-01498-00352855-00353015 talk to the community about around
2W5xtODW5m8-01499-00353016-00353230 measure g and the sales tax
2W5xtODW5m8-01500-00353231-00353439 as one of the benefits they would get do
2W5xtODW5m8-01501-00353440-00353582 you um
2W5xtODW5m8-01502-00353583-00353806 i understand right now operationally
2W5xtODW5m8-01503-00353807-00353887 it's not gonna
2W5xtODW5m8-01504-00353888-00354119 it doesn't work uh for at least your
2W5xtODW5m8-01505-00354120-00354247 side if
2W5xtODW5m8-01506-00354248-00354399 the health department has continued to
2W5xtODW5m8-01507-00354400-00354623 fund their outreach workers
2W5xtODW5m8-01508-00354624-00355047 um but once we get past a pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-01509-00355048-00355375 how long would it take you to to staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01510-00355376-00355678 up uh to re-establish that team
2W5xtODW5m8-01511-00355679-00356015 do you have a sense yeah so if
2W5xtODW5m8-01512-00356016-00356254 if we are able let's say that somehow we
2W5xtODW5m8-01513-00356255-00356487 managed to get a grasp on kovid by the
2W5xtODW5m8-01514-00356488-00356534 spring
2W5xtODW5m8-01515-00356535-00356919 or or late winter and we don't see
2W5xtODW5m8-01516-00356920-00357175 any more reductions in our deputy
2W5xtODW5m8-01517-00357176-00357327 sheriff's staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01518-00357328-00357510 and we're able to close down the
2W5xtODW5m8-01519-00357511-00357703 quarantine and isolation units in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01520-00357704-00358039 main jail and then use one of those
2W5xtODW5m8-01521-00358040-00358375 units for the fit program i could
2W5xtODW5m8-01522-00358376-00358575 if i don't have reductions i could i
2W5xtODW5m8-01523-00358576-00358719 could reassign staff
2W5xtODW5m8-01524-00358720-00359078 immediately uh if it's a if if we have
2W5xtODW5m8-01525-00359079-00359239 additional reductions and then i'm
2W5xtODW5m8-01526-00359240-00359406 allocated some positions it's going to
2W5xtODW5m8-01527-00359407-00359495 take
2W5xtODW5m8-01528-00359496-00359727 a while to rehire people and do some
2W5xtODW5m8-01529-00359728-00359871 things but
2W5xtODW5m8-01530-00359872-00360151 if if if we stay status quo going into
2W5xtODW5m8-01531-00360152-00360310 the late winter early spring we'll be
2W5xtODW5m8-01532-00360311-00360382 able to
2W5xtODW5m8-01533-00360383-00360582 seamlessly move people back into the fit
2W5xtODW5m8-01534-00360583-00360734 program
2W5xtODW5m8-01535-00360735-00361087 okay great um thank you i think that
2W5xtODW5m8-01536-00361088-00361215 concludes my questions i'll
2W5xtODW5m8-01537-00361216-00361527 tell the board um that
2W5xtODW5m8-01538-00361528-00361839 i am interested in funding that
2W5xtODW5m8-01539-00361840-00362158 are the county share of the coordinator
2W5xtODW5m8-01540-00362159-00362510 and as well looking at um
2W5xtODW5m8-01541-00362511-00362871 allocating the uh the funds
2W5xtODW5m8-01542-00362872-00363134 contingent upon operational capabilities
2W5xtODW5m8-01543-00363135-00363334 of the sheriff's department for maybe
2W5xtODW5m8-01544-00363335-00363647 a february through june um
2W5xtODW5m8-01545-00363648-00364006 fit team starting you know restart or
2W5xtODW5m8-01546-00364007-00364151 funding
2W5xtODW5m8-01547-00364152-00364382 and so i think i think we made a
2W5xtODW5m8-01548-00364383-00364487 commitment to the community i think
2W5xtODW5m8-01549-00364488-00364647 these are two really valuable programs
2W5xtODW5m8-01550-00364648-00364887 that we've all talked about a lot and
2W5xtODW5m8-01551-00364888-00365271 we need to try to fund uh going forward
2W5xtODW5m8-01552-00365272-00365663 thank you uh thank you
2W5xtODW5m8-01553-00365664-00366023 uh supervisor friend
2W5xtODW5m8-01554-00366024-00366143 thank you sharon thank you for the
2W5xtODW5m8-01555-00366144-00366343 presentation sheriff hart i'm in
2W5xtODW5m8-01556-00366344-00366447 agreement with
2W5xtODW5m8-01557-00366448-00366775 supervisor coonerty in particular on
2W5xtODW5m8-01558-00366776-00367119 uh the start cost it seems like it's a
2W5xtODW5m8-01559-00367120-00367254 very small investment
2W5xtODW5m8-01560-00367255-00367639 for something that has um
2W5xtODW5m8-01561-00367640-00367830 outsized outcomes for somebody that's
2W5xtODW5m8-01562-00367831-00368047 been a victim and a survivor of such a
2W5xtODW5m8-01563-00368048-00368358 horrific incident so i think that that
2W5xtODW5m8-01564-00368359-00368543 the board absolutely should
2W5xtODW5m8-01565-00368544-00368847 uh reinvest in that i recognize that you
2W5xtODW5m8-01566-00368848-00369054 have been presented as every department
2W5xtODW5m8-01567-00369055-00369167 has with making
2W5xtODW5m8-01568-00369168-00369471 choices that you never want to make
2W5xtODW5m8-01569-00369472-00369806 and we are here to try and uh ease some
2W5xtODW5m8-01570-00369807-00369951 of that where possible and i think that
2W5xtODW5m8-01571-00369952-00370095 within that program that that's an
2W5xtODW5m8-01572-00370096-00370239 important one
2W5xtODW5m8-01573-00370240-00370519 you know i wanted to just ask you a
2W5xtODW5m8-01574-00370520-00370671 question and just given a lot of the
2W5xtODW5m8-01575-00370672-00370839 context and discussion
2W5xtODW5m8-01576-00370840-00371095 uh within the country at least right now
2W5xtODW5m8-01577-00371096-00371199 even with a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-01578-00371200-00371415 of these cuts i know that you have
2W5xtODW5m8-01579-00371416-00371551 implemented a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-01580-00371552-00371871 uh programs that people may not be that
2W5xtODW5m8-01581-00371872-00371958 aware of and
2W5xtODW5m8-01582-00371959-00372087 if you had a second if you could just
2W5xtODW5m8-01583-00372088-00372223 maybe talk about some of the work that
2W5xtODW5m8-01584-00372224-00372406 you've done on the 21st century policing
2W5xtODW5m8-01585-00372407-00372599 program i mean even i could stand to
2W5xtODW5m8-01586-00372600-00372743 have a refresher i think that that would
2W5xtODW5m8-01587-00372744-00372927 be useful
2W5xtODW5m8-01588-00372928-00373239 yeah thank you for that question
2W5xtODW5m8-01589-00373240-00373423 a lot of people talk about defunding and
2W5xtODW5m8-01590-00373424-00373567 they don't really
2W5xtODW5m8-01591-00373568-00373871 define what that means and
2W5xtODW5m8-01592-00373872-00374119 we we did a lot of reform work back in
2W5xtODW5m8-01593-00374120-00374230 2015
2W5xtODW5m8-01594-00374231-00374606 and 2016. and we've we've taken the
2W5xtODW5m8-01595-00374607-00374799 chokehold or the carotid restraint out
2W5xtODW5m8-01596-00374800-00375015 of our policy book we banned no knock
2W5xtODW5m8-01597-00375016-00375302 warrants back in 2016.
2W5xtODW5m8-01598-00375303-00375502 we have a policy against shooting at
2W5xtODW5m8-01599-00375503-00375687 moving vehicles
2W5xtODW5m8-01600-00375688-00375958 our surveillance technology policy
2W5xtODW5m8-01601-00375959-00376143 includes
2W5xtODW5m8-01602-00376144-00376478 working from a guideline that the aclu
2W5xtODW5m8-01603-00376479-00376630 put out about how police should
2W5xtODW5m8-01604-00376631-00376815 implement technology
2W5xtODW5m8-01605-00376816-00376991 and it includes transparency and
2W5xtODW5m8-01606-00376992-00377167 accountability and oversight
2W5xtODW5m8-01607-00377168-00377375 before using technology we don't use
2W5xtODW5m8-01608-00377376-00377487 facial recognition
2W5xtODW5m8-01609-00377488-00377758 predictive policing or license plate
2W5xtODW5m8-01610-00377759-00377847 readers

2W5xtODW5m8-01612-00378007-00378167 very special circumstance but that was
2W5xtODW5m8-01613-00378168-00378199 after
2W5xtODW5m8-01614-00378200-00378367 we had a community input and community
2W5xtODW5m8-01615-00378368-00378519 meetings about that
2W5xtODW5m8-01616-00378520-00378734 we have a policy on officer intervention
2W5xtODW5m8-01617-00378735-00378934 where deputy sheriffs are required to
2W5xtODW5m8-01618-00378935-00379119 intervene if they see a police officer
2W5xtODW5m8-01619-00379120-00379391 using too much force
2W5xtODW5m8-01620-00379392-00379606 we were the first agency in the in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01621-00379607-00379791 area and one of the first in the country

2W5xtODW5m8-01671-00389911-00390087 so that chiefs and sheriffs who have
2W5xtODW5m8-01672-00390088-00390215 identified
2W5xtODW5m8-01673-00390216-00390399 problem officers have the ability to
2W5xtODW5m8-01674-00390400-00390839 terminate their employment
2W5xtODW5m8-01675-00390840-00391039 well thank you sheriff i mean it's it's
2W5xtODW5m8-01676-00391040-00391239 extensive and i i recollect a couple of
2W5xtODW5m8-01677-00391240-00391502 years ago
2W5xtODW5m8-01678-00391503-00391678 that you were the first agency in this
2W5xtODW5m8-01679-00391679-00391847 definitely later maybe in the country to
2W5xtODW5m8-01680-00391848-00392006 fully implement the 21st century
2W5xtODW5m8-01681-00392007-00392151 policing program and
2W5xtODW5m8-01682-00392152-00392343 i recognize there's more work to be done
2W5xtODW5m8-01683-00392344-00392487 beyond that but
2W5xtODW5m8-01684-00392488-00392630 that was under your leadership and i
2W5xtODW5m8-01685-00392631-00392847 appreciate you uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01686-00392848-00393087 being the progressive sheriff that we uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01687-00393088-00393247 that really does fit the values here in
2W5xtODW5m8-01688-00393248-00393391 the in this county
2W5xtODW5m8-01689-00393392-00393639 um i wanted to add an additional point
2W5xtODW5m8-01690-00393640-00393782 to what you had mentioned regarding
2W5xtODW5m8-01691-00393783-00393991 the cannabis enforcement you know that
2W5xtODW5m8-01692-00393992-00394254 we had gone to the voters and
2W5xtODW5m8-01693-00394255-00394439 told them as part of this taxation that
2W5xtODW5m8-01694-00394440-00394623 there would be enforcement so
2W5xtODW5m8-01695-00394624-00394927 i think that we have a commitment uh to
2W5xtODW5m8-01696-00394928-00395302 to reestablish those positions within
2W5xtODW5m8-01697-00395303-00395534 the cannabis uh office i mean for that
2W5xtODW5m8-01698-00395535-00395671 matter it doesn't actually cost the
2W5xtODW5m8-01699-00395672-00395847 county at the end of the day anything it
2W5xtODW5m8-01700-00395848-00396110 it would cost us a lot more to not do it
2W5xtODW5m8-01701-00396111-00396423 um in in regards to the fire protection
2W5xtODW5m8-01702-00396424-00396582 work that they do
2W5xtODW5m8-01703-00396583-00396775 uh in regards to the public safety work
2W5xtODW5m8-01704-00396776-00396927 they do and just the fact that again
2W5xtODW5m8-01705-00396928-00397087 we made a commitment to the voters very
2W5xtODW5m8-01706-00397088-00397319 specifically that this would do that so
2W5xtODW5m8-01707-00397320-00397510 i i would like to to say to the board
2W5xtODW5m8-01708-00397511-00397606 that that's something i'm also
2W5xtODW5m8-01709-00397607-00397767 interested in regards to that i think
2W5xtODW5m8-01710-00397768-00397799 that they
2W5xtODW5m8-01711-00397800-00398015 serve a very important function for the
2W5xtODW5m8-01712-00398016-00398158 community i definitely my district

2W5xtODW5m8-01734-00403448-00403615 huge difference and it's made a big
2W5xtODW5m8-01735-00403616-00403927 difference especially this year
2W5xtODW5m8-01736-00403928-00404110 uh in thinking about the budget there's
2W5xtODW5m8-01737-00404111-00404278 a couple things i just want to
2W5xtODW5m8-01738-00404279-00404606 talk about i share the interests
2W5xtODW5m8-01739-00404607-00404951 of um my colleagues about the
2W5xtODW5m8-01740-00404952-00405206 the the sart program i know that this
2W5xtODW5m8-01741-00405207-00405254 has been
2W5xtODW5m8-01742-00405255-00405447 an issue of a great discussion in the
2W5xtODW5m8-01743-00405448-00405599 community um
2W5xtODW5m8-01744-00405600-00405887 and trying to figure out uh how we meet
2W5xtODW5m8-01745-00405888-00405943 the needs
2W5xtODW5m8-01746-00405944-00406206 of victims of assault here and getting
2W5xtODW5m8-01747-00406207-00406295 that program
2W5xtODW5m8-01748-00406296-00406567 uh staffed at the level that's necessary
2W5xtODW5m8-01749-00406568-00406758 is very important to me
2W5xtODW5m8-01750-00406759-00407006 um the second thing i want to talk to
2W5xtODW5m8-01751-00407007-00407134 about is the
2W5xtODW5m8-01752-00407135-00407415 um the question of training you know
2W5xtODW5m8-01753-00407416-00407599 they hear that we're going to be
2W5xtODW5m8-01754-00407600-00407999 uh stopping uh training
2W5xtODW5m8-01755-00408000-00408334 um on issues such as de-escalation
2W5xtODW5m8-01756-00408335-00408702 is concerning um and it was
2W5xtODW5m8-01757-00408703-00408967 in the in the uh just in the uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01758-00408968-00409182 information that we received
2W5xtODW5m8-01759-00409183-00409343 um there were a bunch of things that
2W5xtODW5m8-01760-00409344-00409570 were put together that that showed about
2W5xtODW5m8-01761-00409571-00409814 455 000
2W5xtODW5m8-01762-00409815-00409991 uh for training and travel and
2W5xtODW5m8-01763-00409992-00410166 everything like that but is
2W5xtODW5m8-01764-00410167-00410439 is is there a smaller number the the
2W5xtODW5m8-01765-00410439-00410614 things like the de-escalation and the
2W5xtODW5m8-01766-00410615-00410670 other
2W5xtODW5m8-01767-00410671-00411047 important parts to to um to continue on
2W5xtODW5m8-01768-00411047-00411159 with the
2W5xtODW5m8-01769-00411160-00411430 question of uh ensuring that our
2W5xtODW5m8-01770-00411431-00411534 officers are
2W5xtODW5m8-01771-00411535-00411943 our guardians instead of warriors
2W5xtODW5m8-01772-00411943-00412134 i mean i mean is there some part of that
2W5xtODW5m8-01773-00412135-00412366 that that would work
2W5xtODW5m8-01774-00412367-00412591 yeah i i don't have uh the number in
2W5xtODW5m8-01775-00412592-00412814 front of me what we took that 455
2W5xtODW5m8-01776-00412815-00413014 thousand dollars down to but i know we
2W5xtODW5m8-01777-00413015-00413230 we cut it significantly
2W5xtODW5m8-01778-00413231-00413543 but it it it costs about
2W5xtODW5m8-01779-00413543-00413759 depending on on how we do it but it cost
2W5xtODW5m8-01780-00413760-00414087 about fifty thousand dollars to put on
2W5xtODW5m8-01781-00414088-00414518 a a a full training day for
2W5xtODW5m8-01782-00414519-00414822 both sides of the week for all
2W5xtODW5m8-01783-00414823-00415110 of the patrol deputies because it does
2W5xtODW5m8-01784-00415112-00415207 involve
2W5xtODW5m8-01785-00415208-00415543 significant overtime and so
2W5xtODW5m8-01786-00415543-00415766 i'm looking at our training plan for the
2W5xtODW5m8-01787-00415767-00415943 year and i'm trying to figure out how we
2W5xtODW5m8-01788-00415943-00415999 can plug
2W5xtODW5m8-01789-00416000-00416270 in at least one de-escalation training
2W5xtODW5m8-01790-00416271-00416343 but
2W5xtODW5m8-01791-00416343-00416639 uh in terms of the money that we have in
2W5xtODW5m8-01792-00416639-00416766 our training budget
2W5xtODW5m8-01793-00416767-00417014 i'm just i'm doubtful that we can pull
2W5xtODW5m8-01794-00417015-00417351 that off and stay within budget
2W5xtODW5m8-01795-00417352-00417622 this is an important i don't know uh i
2W5xtODW5m8-01796-00417623-00417822 mean i think it's important to
2W5xtODW5m8-01797-00417823-00417999 to continue on with trainings i'm
2W5xtODW5m8-01798-00418000-00418151 assuming that everybody who's on our
2W5xtODW5m8-01799-00418152-00418366 force now has gone through this training
2W5xtODW5m8-01800-00418367-00418487 but it's the kind of thing that you want
2W5xtODW5m8-01801-00418488-00418751 to keep uh keep reaching out
2W5xtODW5m8-01802-00418752-00419022 to officers uh to ensure that we're
2W5xtODW5m8-01803-00419023-00419247 using the best practices possible
2W5xtODW5m8-01804-00419247-00419503 um and if there's a way for us to take a
2W5xtODW5m8-01805-00419504-00419679 look at that especially as the year goes
2W5xtODW5m8-01806-00419680-00419743 on
2W5xtODW5m8-01807-00419743-00419966 to to come back to to ensure that we
2W5xtODW5m8-01808-00419967-00420127 have that money for training seems very
2W5xtODW5m8-01809-00420128-00420255 important
2W5xtODW5m8-01810-00420256-00420599 um i also just wanted to add
2W5xtODW5m8-01811-00420600-00420783 my voice to the to the question of the
2W5xtODW5m8-01812-00420784-00421014 cannabis uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01813-00421015-00421263 officers in my conversations with our
2W5xtODW5m8-01814-00421264-00421343 clo
2W5xtODW5m8-01815-00421343-00421639 office it seems as though um the
2W5xtODW5m8-01816-00421639-00421839 investment that we make in officers
2W5xtODW5m8-01817-00421839-00422151 uh pays back in terms of the uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01818-00422152-00422479 fine revenue and other and other
2W5xtODW5m8-01819-00422480-00422687 uh financial benefits we get from having
2W5xtODW5m8-01820-00422688-00423007 a well-run and well-regulated uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01821-00423008-00423310 cannabis uh business
2W5xtODW5m8-01822-00423312-00423639 practices and so i would be supportive
2W5xtODW5m8-01823-00423639-00423927 of uh putting those uh having you pick
2W5xtODW5m8-01824-00423928-00424087 up that 50 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-01825-00424088-00424431 uh to uh and having the the county pick
2W5xtODW5m8-01826-00424432-00424566 up that 50
2W5xtODW5m8-01827-00424567-00424807 so we could continue that and earn that
2W5xtODW5m8-01828-00424808-00424959 money and i think it would pay us
2W5xtODW5m8-01829-00424960-00425303 ourselves back and as we look
2W5xtODW5m8-01830-00425304-00425495 at our funding sources they're limited
2W5xtODW5m8-01831-00425496-00425639 these years and
2W5xtODW5m8-01832-00425639-00425863 the idea that we can continue to earn
2W5xtODW5m8-01833-00425864-00426031 revenue from our cbt
2W5xtODW5m8-01834-00426032-00426287 and and other related cannabis related
2W5xtODW5m8-01835-00426288-00426366 um
2W5xtODW5m8-01836-00426367-00426583 practices seems to me to make a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-01837-00426584-00426735 sense for us because it's one of the few
2W5xtODW5m8-01838-00426735-00426895 places that we can actually
2W5xtODW5m8-01839-00426896-00427207 uh earn money these days uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01840-00427208-00427527 lastly i just want to talk about the um
2W5xtODW5m8-01841-00427528-00427895 the jail uh meal program
2W5xtODW5m8-01842-00427896-00428151 uh so it's always disturbing when we
2W5xtODW5m8-01843-00428152-00428327 talk about contracting out
2W5xtODW5m8-01844-00428328-00428566 i understand and talking with seiu that
2W5xtODW5m8-01845-00428567-00428783 there is a meeting on thursday to talk
2W5xtODW5m8-01846-00428784-00428927 about this issue
2W5xtODW5m8-01847-00428928-00429263 and uh i'm not exactly sure what comes
2W5xtODW5m8-01848-00429264-00429527 out of uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01849-00429528-00429751 that meeting but i think that for us to
2W5xtODW5m8-01850-00429752-00429943 take a very close look as to whether
2W5xtODW5m8-01851-00429943-00430135 that is something that we should be
2W5xtODW5m8-01852-00430135-00430351 engaging in right now and what the
2W5xtODW5m8-01853-00430352-00430527 consequences are for the employees that
2W5xtODW5m8-01854-00430528-00430775 are there
2W5xtODW5m8-01855-00430776-00431014 it seems to be very important because
2W5xtODW5m8-01856-00431015-00431095 right now
2W5xtODW5m8-01857-00431096-00431318 it's hard to let anyone go and letting
2W5xtODW5m8-01858-00431319-00431527 people go in this
2W5xtODW5m8-01859-00431528-00431775 environment is is very hard and it's
2W5xtODW5m8-01860-00431776-00431943 especially for a service that is clearly
2W5xtODW5m8-01861-00431943-00432087 needed we obviously can't go without
2W5xtODW5m8-01862-00432088-00432191 meal service
2W5xtODW5m8-01863-00432192-00432455 at the jail and so i hope that you will
2W5xtODW5m8-01864-00432456-00432591 that you will engage
2W5xtODW5m8-01865-00432592-00432879 uh well with the union to try to see if
2W5xtODW5m8-01866-00432880-00432951 there's
2W5xtODW5m8-01867-00432952-00433127 any way to make this work and keep it
2W5xtODW5m8-01868-00433128-00433303 within a county service
2W5xtODW5m8-01869-00433304-00433455 uh i think it would serve the community
2W5xtODW5m8-01870-00433456-00433655 well and would it would definitely serve
2W5xtODW5m8-01871-00433656-00433775 the employees well

2W5xtODW5m8-01873-00433919-00434055 happened that discussions and it may
2W5xtODW5m8-01874-00434056-00434143 require
2W5xtODW5m8-01875-00434143-00434359 action on the last day if there's can
2W5xtODW5m8-01876-00434360-00434591 come to some kind of agreement

2W5xtODW5m8-01882-00435856-00436063 this has been a extremely difficult year
2W5xtODW5m8-01883-00436064-00436222 for the sheriff's department both with
2W5xtODW5m8-01884-00436223-00436518 the loss of uh sergeant damon gotzweiler
2W5xtODW5m8-01885-00436519-00436814 and the response to the coven 19 in
2W5xtODW5m8-01886-00436815-00436927 addition to your
2W5xtODW5m8-01887-00436928-00437231 significant um the significant
2W5xtODW5m8-01888-00437232-00437455 impact of losing a college you've had to
2W5xtODW5m8-01889-00437456-00437559 uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01890-00437560-00437743 face the challenges and responsibility
2W5xtODW5m8-01891-00437743-00437951 of enforcing our public health
2W5xtODW5m8-01892-00437952-00438214 orders too and i think that's nothing to
2W5xtODW5m8-01893-00438215-00438310 be overlooked
2W5xtODW5m8-01894-00438312-00438775 as an extra assignment for your office
2W5xtODW5m8-01895-00438776-00439007 i just can't uh i think it needs to
2W5xtODW5m8-01896-00439008-00439270 repeat be repeated about
2W5xtODW5m8-01897-00439271-00439479 how proud this community should be of
2W5xtODW5m8-01898-00439480-00439622 our sheriff's office
2W5xtODW5m8-01899-00439623-00439943 for being as forward-looking as it was
2W5xtODW5m8-01900-00439943-00440199 five years ago and implementing uh being
2W5xtODW5m8-01901-00440200-00440375 at the front end and being recognized by
2W5xtODW5m8-01902-00440376-00440583 the barack obama administration about
2W5xtODW5m8-01903-00440584-00440822 the 21st century policing effort
2W5xtODW5m8-01904-00440823-00441166 that you put forth uh today more than
2W5xtODW5m8-01905-00441167-00441247 ever
2W5xtODW5m8-01906-00441247-00441470 that is invaluable for our public to
2W5xtODW5m8-01907-00441471-00441583 know
2W5xtODW5m8-01908-00441584-00441895 how how you implemented those programs
2W5xtODW5m8-01909-00441896-00442166 and really the complexity of them all um
2W5xtODW5m8-01910-00442167-00442214 just
2W5xtODW5m8-01911-00442215-00442527 you can't i can't overstate um
2W5xtODW5m8-01912-00442528-00442847 the impressive actions that you took
2W5xtODW5m8-01913-00442847-00443039 to put this in place before some of
2W5xtODW5m8-01914-00443039-00443255 these crises we're facing today
2W5xtODW5m8-01915-00443256-00443575 are upon us um and i really want to
2W5xtODW5m8-01916-00443576-00443759 thank you for your hard work to uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01917-00443760-00443983 the challenges and the nexus that you
2W5xtODW5m8-01918-00443984-00444183 have in that department with behavioral
2W5xtODW5m8-01919-00444184-00444279 health
2W5xtODW5m8-01920-00444280-00444463 uh outside of law enforcement in our
2W5xtODW5m8-01921-00444464-00444663 jail our court system and i
2W5xtODW5m8-01922-00444664-00444991 wish our uh our cuts weren't necessary
2W5xtODW5m8-01923-00444992-00445263 on uh these these programs that you've
2W5xtODW5m8-01924-00445264-00445399 mentioned and i think that
2W5xtODW5m8-01925-00445400-00445718 it's it's uh correct for us to take
2W5xtODW5m8-01926-00445719-00445839 another look at them
2W5xtODW5m8-01927-00445839-00446087 those four programs of fit and serge and
2W5xtODW5m8-01928-00446088-00446287 the recovery center and so forth
2W5xtODW5m8-01929-00446288-00446495 we all know how valuable they are and
2W5xtODW5m8-01930-00446496-00446670 again it's a forward-looking
2W5xtODW5m8-01931-00446671-00446983 uh program of proposals and
2W5xtODW5m8-01932-00446984-00447255 programs that you have put together so
2W5xtODW5m8-01933-00447256-00447455 i'm really impressed by
2W5xtODW5m8-01934-00447456-00447799 by all of that i do want to
2W5xtODW5m8-01935-00447800-00448175 repeat or chime in on the cannabis
2W5xtODW5m8-01936-00448176-00448287 licensing office
2W5xtODW5m8-01937-00448288-00448559 generation of revenue i think that we
2W5xtODW5m8-01938-00448560-00448751 should take some action
2W5xtODW5m8-01939-00448752-00448935 and i plan to make a motion to that
2W5xtODW5m8-01940-00448935-00449175 effect uh to keep
2W5xtODW5m8-01941-00449176-00449583 that in place of um over the citations
2W5xtODW5m8-01942-00449584-00449710 that were issued uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01943-00449712-00449935 last year i believe or this this last
2W5xtODW5m8-01944-00449935-00450014 fiscal year
2W5xtODW5m8-01945-00450015-00450295 over a million dollars and we realized i
2W5xtODW5m8-01946-00450296-00450422 think 640
2W5xtODW5m8-01947-00450423-00450887 000 or so uh in revenue as a result
2W5xtODW5m8-01948-00450888-00451063 aside from the other programs that were
2W5xtODW5m8-01949-00451064-00451303 mentioned that were being reduced or cut
2W5xtODW5m8-01950-00451304-00451622 uh this is a revenue generating uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01951-00451623-00451895 program for our county and i think it's
2W5xtODW5m8-01952-00451896-00452070 one that we should keep in place
2W5xtODW5m8-01953-00452071-00452431 and um i i think that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01954-00452432-00452855 if it would in addition to the citations
2W5xtODW5m8-01955-00452856-00453183 um i think the potential loss if we uh
2W5xtODW5m8-01956-00453184-00453414 the licensing revenue according to our
2W5xtODW5m8-01957-00453415-00453591 cannabis licensing officer would be over
2W5xtODW5m8-01958-00453592-00453951 200 thousand dollars so i think that um
2W5xtODW5m8-01959-00453952-00454143 unless we want to just eliminate the
2W5xtODW5m8-01960-00454143-00454263 program
2W5xtODW5m8-01961-00454264-00454510 overall i think we just really have to
2W5xtODW5m8-01962-00454512-00454591 move
2W5xtODW5m8-01963-00454592-00454903 in this direction uh and it's for in
2W5xtODW5m8-01964-00454904-00455110 this budget session is for financial
2W5xtODW5m8-01965-00455112-00455431 uh reasons that i want to pinpoint that
2W5xtODW5m8-01966-00455432-00455559 program
2W5xtODW5m8-01967-00455560-00455910 so when it comes to the time
2W5xtODW5m8-01968-00455912-00456263 after public comment uh to make um
2W5xtODW5m8-01969-00456264-00456639 uh any uh motion i i would uh i'm gonna
2W5xtODW5m8-01970-00456639-00456695 i'm
2W5xtODW5m8-01971-00456696-00456966 ready to uh i'll be ready to ask that
2W5xtODW5m8-01972-00456967-00457007 the
2W5xtODW5m8-01973-00457008-00457214 sheriff share the cost with the cao's
2W5xtODW5m8-01974-00457215-00457366 office and restoring
2W5xtODW5m8-01975-00457367-00457607 that um it's not just the sheriff's
2W5xtODW5m8-01976-00457608-00457791 office itself
2W5xtODW5m8-01977-00457792-00458159 but with cannabis enforcement um
2W5xtODW5m8-01978-00458160-00458422 uh it'd be becoming a really important
2W5xtODW5m8-01979-00458423-00458518 time uh the
2W5xtODW5m8-01980-00458519-00458718 extreme fire danger we have throughout
2W5xtODW5m8-01981-00458719-00458870 the county especially in my fifth
2W5xtODW5m8-01982-00458871-00458959 district
2W5xtODW5m8-01983-00458960-00459143 where nearly half of the notices of
2W5xtODW5m8-01984-00459143-00459479 violation occurred this last fiscal year
2W5xtODW5m8-01985-00459480-00459743 i know the chief ian larkin of county
2W5xtODW5m8-01986-00459743-00459870 fire has expressed
2W5xtODW5m8-01987-00459871-00460127 to my office he's deeply concerned about
2W5xtODW5m8-01988-00460128-00460327 the impact of losing those enforcement
2W5xtODW5m8-01989-00460328-00460551 positions in the sheriff's office
2W5xtODW5m8-01990-00460552-00460743 because of the number of illegal
2W5xtODW5m8-01991-00460743-00460895 cannabis operations that will go
2W5xtODW5m8-01992-00460896-00461070 unchecked so
2W5xtODW5m8-01993-00461071-00461391 for financial reasons in this budget
2W5xtODW5m8-01994-00461392-00461510 session as well as
2W5xtODW5m8-01995-00461512-00461807 public safety reasons i think that we
2W5xtODW5m8-01996-00461808-00461863 should
2W5xtODW5m8-01997-00461864-00462070 make sure that that that office keeps
2W5xtODW5m8-01998-00462071-00462295 open uh with the cooperation to share
2W5xtODW5m8-01999-00462296-00462351 those i
2W5xtODW5m8-02000-00462352-00462495 it's my understanding you're willing to
2W5xtODW5m8-02001-00462496-00462751 share those costs uh with the cio's
2W5xtODW5m8-02002-00462752-00462807 office
2W5xtODW5m8-02003-00462808-00463127 or some other budget factor
2W5xtODW5m8-02004-00463128-00463327 if possible so i'll be ready to make a
2W5xtODW5m8-02005-00463328-00463455 motion to that effect
2W5xtODW5m8-02006-00463456-00463822 when we uh when we come to that point
2W5xtODW5m8-02007-00463823-00464127 thank you okay
2W5xtODW5m8-02008-00464128-00464431 thank you and uh yeah

2W5xtODW5m8-02010-00464767-00465047 uh it's a very difficult time right now
2W5xtODW5m8-02011-00465047-00465231 to be a
2W5xtODW5m8-02012-00465232-00465535 sheriff or a police officer
2W5xtODW5m8-02013-00465535-00465847 in the last four or five months
2W5xtODW5m8-02014-00465847-00466183 things have been you know very difficult
2W5xtODW5m8-02015-00466184-00466510 we appreciate everything you're doing
2W5xtODW5m8-02016-00466512-00466807 and also with the budget constraints and
2W5xtODW5m8-02017-00466808-00467014 pressure from
2W5xtODW5m8-02018-00467015-00467335 all different kinds of areas of
2W5xtODW5m8-02019-00467335-00467807 public safety i saw the uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02020-00467808-00468175 the dna lab i guess uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02021-00468176-00468422 we could do some of the testing here but
2W5xtODW5m8-02022-00468423-00468487 then
2W5xtODW5m8-02023-00468488-00468695 now it's gonna have to all be done by
2W5xtODW5m8-02024-00468696-00468807 the state or
2W5xtODW5m8-02025-00468808-00469083 did we always send it to the state uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02026-00469084-00469263 labs
2W5xtODW5m8-02027-00469264-00469470 we've always sent it to the state labs
2W5xtODW5m8-02028-00469471-00469783 and a couple months ago
2W5xtODW5m8-02029-00469784-00470014 we we had a return on a sexual assault
2W5xtODW5m8-02030-00470015-00470214 case that took two years to get the
2W5xtODW5m8-02031-00470215-00470527 to get the information back to identify
2W5xtODW5m8-02032-00470528-00470710 the person that was responsible and so
2W5xtODW5m8-02033-00470712-00470910 the the real advantage of having a local
2W5xtODW5m8-02034-00470912-00470951 lab
2W5xtODW5m8-02035-00470952-00471287 for all agencies is uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02036-00471288-00471639 is that quick turnaround time and
2W5xtODW5m8-02037-00471639-00471903 we're talking about uh blood evidence
2W5xtODW5m8-02038-00471904-00472095 and other types of evidence that is left
2W5xtODW5m8-02039-00472096-00472207 behind it at
2W5xtODW5m8-02040-00472208-00472399 serious scenes and and to be able to
2W5xtODW5m8-02041-00472400-00472599 collect that that evidence get it to the
2W5xtODW5m8-02042-00472600-00472831 lab and get information back within 48
2W5xtODW5m8-02043-00472832-00472943 hours
2W5xtODW5m8-02044-00472943-00473239 would be hugely valuable to our
2W5xtODW5m8-02045-00473239-00473327 community and
2W5xtODW5m8-02046-00473328-00473670 and to our local law enforcement
2W5xtODW5m8-02047-00473671-00473983 and i i saw the suspension i guess of
2W5xtODW5m8-02048-00473984-00474175 the police academies
2W5xtODW5m8-02049-00474176-00474399 uh if you feel like reminiscing a little
2W5xtODW5m8-02050-00474400-00474518 bit
2W5xtODW5m8-02051-00474519-00474710 i don't know how did you feel and when
2W5xtODW5m8-02052-00474712-00474887 and where did you go to the
2W5xtODW5m8-02053-00474888-00475214 police academy i went to uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02054-00475215-00475391 the evergreen academy at the evergreen
2W5xtODW5m8-02055-00475392-00475566 junior college in south san jose back in
2W5xtODW5m8-02056-00475567-00475727 1988
2W5xtODW5m8-02057-00475728-00475918 and uh things have changed a lot since
2W5xtODW5m8-02058-00475919-00476039 then and there's
2W5xtODW5m8-02059-00476039-00476279 there's more training now but but what
2W5xtODW5m8-02060-00476280-00476414 my my concern
2W5xtODW5m8-02061-00476415-00476751 is is to have there's some academies
2W5xtODW5m8-02062-00476752-00476831 that are open
2W5xtODW5m8-02063-00476832-00477031 but to put one of our employees into
2W5xtODW5m8-02064-00477032-00477207 that kind of environment
2W5xtODW5m8-02065-00477208-00477422 and expose them or potentially expose
2W5xtODW5m8-02066-00477423-00477583 them to those buyers it just doesn't
2W5xtODW5m8-02067-00477584-00477751 make a lot of sense to me right now and
2W5xtODW5m8-02068-00477752-00477822 so
2W5xtODW5m8-02069-00477823-00477991 there are some agencies sending people
2W5xtODW5m8-02070-00477992-00478151 to the academies but i'm just not going
2W5xtODW5m8-02071-00478152-00478295 to do it until we get a handle on this
2W5xtODW5m8-02072-00478296-00478710 virus

2W5xtODW5m8-02088-00481904-00482087 we have serious concerns with the
2W5xtODW5m8-02089-00482088-00482255 sheriff contracting out the food
2W5xtODW5m8-02090-00482256-00482399 services

2W5xtODW5m8-02096-00483639-00483903 what we notice is the increase of deaths

2W5xtODW5m8-02101-00484728-00484903 if you approve it it means that then the
2W5xtODW5m8-02102-00484904-00485110 meeting comfort process goes to the side
2W5xtODW5m8-02103-00485112-00485310 because you have approved it and
2W5xtODW5m8-02104-00485312-00485510 you're saying it's okay for him to go
2W5xtODW5m8-02105-00485512-00485887 ahead and contract out services
2W5xtODW5m8-02106-00485888-00486110 he would be laying off 10 of our members

2W5xtODW5m8-02133-00491671-00491807 that this is how we learned about the
2W5xtODW5m8-02134-00491808-00492022 potential that the food services could
2W5xtODW5m8-02135-00492023-00492199 be contracted out
2W5xtODW5m8-02136-00492200-00492391 i have been a chief steward at this

2W5xtODW5m8-02140-00493032-00493247 to have to read it in a budget and not

2W5xtODW5m8-02142-00493360-00493599 reaching out to us and saying hey we've
2W5xtODW5m8-02143-00493600-00493783 got this serious budget concern
2W5xtODW5m8-02144-00493784-00493959 let's talk about if there's another way
2W5xtODW5m8-02145-00493960-00494087 to do this
2W5xtODW5m8-02146-00494088-00494318 as olivia mentioned and as supervisor
2W5xtODW5m8-02147-00494319-00494455 leopold has mentioned
2W5xtODW5m8-02148-00494456-00494655 we do have a scheduled appointment
2W5xtODW5m8-02149-00494656-00494847 thursday to discuss this
2W5xtODW5m8-02150-00494847-00495183 but i feel like if you support this
2W5xtODW5m8-02151-00495184-00495383 budget today that ship has kind of
2W5xtODW5m8-02152-00495384-00495527 sailed
2W5xtODW5m8-02153-00495528-00495703 so we really want to encourage you to do
2W5xtODW5m8-02154-00495704-00495847 something unusual and put this over
2W5xtODW5m8-02155-00495847-00495951 until next
2W5xtODW5m8-02156-00495952-00496255 tuesday finally you know
2W5xtODW5m8-02157-00496256-00496518 when it comes to contracting out i mean
2W5xtODW5m8-02158-00496519-00496670 it's one thing and this is a hard time
2W5xtODW5m8-02159-00496671-00496847 it's one thing when we have positions
2W5xtODW5m8-02160-00496847-00496966 deleted
2W5xtODW5m8-02161-00496967-00497207 and people end up with a potential
2W5xtODW5m8-02162-00497208-00497351 layoff and they have to go through this
2W5xtODW5m8-02163-00497352-00497670 long stressful experience about how they
2W5xtODW5m8-02164-00497671-00497766 deal with
2W5xtODW5m8-02165-00497767-00497943 am i going to be laid off am i going to
2W5xtODW5m8-02166-00497943-00498087 have health care for my family all the
2W5xtODW5m8-02167-00498088-00498222 things that go with that
2W5xtODW5m8-02168-00498223-00498495 they go through a process with personnel
2W5xtODW5m8-02169-00498496-00498662 to try to get place they may get placed
2W5xtODW5m8-02170-00498663-00498791 they may not
2W5xtODW5m8-02171-00498792-00499127 uh it's very stressful but it's entirely
2W5xtODW5m8-02172-00499128-00499239 a different thing when you tell an
2W5xtODW5m8-02173-00499239-00499310 employee well
2W5xtODW5m8-02174-00499312-00499559 we're going to delete your position but
2W5xtODW5m8-02175-00499560-00499718 your work's not going away
2W5xtODW5m8-02176-00499719-00499883 and we're going to give it to another
2W5xtODW5m8-02177-00499884-00500110 company you know and one of the things
2W5xtODW5m8-02178-00500112-00500239 we've fought for
2W5xtODW5m8-02179-00500239-00500518 for you know decades as a union is the
2W5xtODW5m8-02180-00500519-00500783 quality of these jobs not just the jobs
2W5xtODW5m8-02181-00500784-00500991 the fact that that people who work here
2W5xtODW5m8-02182-00500992-00501103 at the county
2W5xtODW5m8-02183-00501104-00501335 all share the fact that we have access
2W5xtODW5m8-02184-00501335-00501439 to health care
2W5xtODW5m8-02185-00501439-00501655 and quality health care we have access
2W5xtODW5m8-02186-00501656-00501766 to retirement
2W5xtODW5m8-02187-00501767-00501999 and a quality retirement and for that if
2W5xtODW5m8-02188-00502000-00502135 you look at our salaries versus the
2W5xtODW5m8-02189-00502135-00502199 public
2W5xtODW5m8-02190-00502200-00502439 we tend to work for less so we're
2W5xtODW5m8-02191-00502439-00502583 willing to do that because we see the
2W5xtODW5m8-02192-00502584-00502703 end game here
2W5xtODW5m8-02193-00502704-00502855 and that's exactly why people come to
2W5xtODW5m8-02194-00502856-00503047 work here and that's why i really want
2W5xtODW5m8-02195-00503047-00503207 to encourage the sheriff to think about
2W5xtODW5m8-02196-00503208-00503414 a different way to do this
2W5xtODW5m8-02197-00503415-00503575 thank you for the comments about the
2W5xtODW5m8-02198-00503576-00503727 cannabis unit
2W5xtODW5m8-02199-00503728-00503895 as you know we have a another
2W5xtODW5m8-02200-00503896-00504031 relationship with that
2W5xtODW5m8-02201-00504032-00504151 which is our code compliance
2W5xtODW5m8-02202-00504152-00504383 investigator in the cio's office i know
2W5xtODW5m8-02203-00504384-00504543 that's not in the sheriff's budget
2W5xtODW5m8-02204-00504543-00504727 but obviously if the cannabis unit came
2W5xtODW5m8-02205-00504728-00504895 back there would be a need to continue
2W5xtODW5m8-02206-00504896-00505062 to have that investigator here
2W5xtODW5m8-02207-00505063-00505262 so we appreciate your time and sheriff
2W5xtODW5m8-02208-00505263-00505495 hart please work with with us to resolve
2W5xtODW5m8-02209-00505496-00505527 this

2W5xtODW5m8-02214-00507280-00507566 it is from adam novak i think you should
2W5xtODW5m8-02215-00507567-00507614 reduce
2W5xtODW5m8-02216-00507615-00507814 funding for the county sheriff and spend
2W5xtODW5m8-02217-00507815-00507991 the money on services for the homeless
2W5xtODW5m8-02218-00507992-00508079 instead
2W5xtODW5m8-02219-00508080-00508310 because it will be more effective and
2W5xtODW5m8-02220-00508312-00508510 that's it thank you
2W5xtODW5m8-02221-00508512-00510191 and nobody else downstairs

2W5xtODW5m8-02245-00516039-00516383 we explore using risk management

2W5xtODW5m8-02247-00516719-00517270 of de-escalation training

2W5xtODW5m8-02249-00517632-00517687 question
2W5xtODW5m8-02250-00517688-00518095 from the last comment on contracting out
2W5xtODW5m8-02251-00518096-00518479 uh on an average uh sheriff hart
2W5xtODW5m8-02252-00518480-00518751 uh how many or how many men and women
2W5xtODW5m8-02253-00518752-00518783 are
2W5xtODW5m8-02254-00518784-00519118 in the county jail on
2W5xtODW5m8-02255-00519119-00519718 you know an average given day
2W5xtODW5m8-02256-00519719-00520022 so uh pre-covered
2W5xtODW5m8-02257-00520023-00520439 it varies depending on the time of year
2W5xtODW5m8-02258-00520439-00520814 um today we have
2W5xtODW5m8-02259-00520815-00521135 in the main jail we have 225 people and
2W5xtODW5m8-02260-00521135-00521327 311 beds
2W5xtODW5m8-02261-00521328-00521527 and that's because we have isolation and
2W5xtODW5m8-02262-00521528-00521647 quarantine units for
2W5xtODW5m8-02263-00521647-00521855 for covid that we have to keep fairly
2W5xtODW5m8-02264-00521856-00521966 empty
2W5xtODW5m8-02265-00521967-00522239 we have 10 women at blaine street for 32
2W5xtODW5m8-02266-00522239-00522287 beds
2W5xtODW5m8-02267-00522288-00522551 and we have 85 men out at roundtree for
2W5xtODW5m8-02268-00522552-00522647 150
2W5xtODW5m8-02269-00522647-00522943 with 150 beds so we're running at about
2W5xtODW5m8-02270-00522943-00523062 58
2W5xtODW5m8-02271-00523063-00523247 capacity right now which is highly
2W5xtODW5m8-02272-00523247-00523455 unusual we're usually
2W5xtODW5m8-02273-00523456-00523847 between 500 and 600 total incarcerated
2W5xtODW5m8-02274-00523847-00524118 people between all four facilities
2W5xtODW5m8-02275-00524119-00524470 in non-coveted times okay and uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02276-00524471-00524766 the way it goes i guess the cooks were
2W5xtODW5m8-02277-00524767-00524895 cooking for the
2W5xtODW5m8-02278-00524896-00525279 regular county jail and also roundtree
2W5xtODW5m8-02279-00525280-00525631 the the same group of cooks
2W5xtODW5m8-02280-00525632-00525951 so it was contracted out uh it would be
2W5xtODW5m8-02281-00525952-00526135 for both
2W5xtODW5m8-02282-00526136-00526383 yes and blaine street as well so it's
2W5xtODW5m8-02283-00526384-00526479 today

2W5xtODW5m8-02295-00529271-00529487 we could if there were agreement that
2W5xtODW5m8-02296-00529488-00529607 was reached in that
2W5xtODW5m8-02297-00529608-00529783 they could come back here during last

2W5xtODW5m8-02304-00530904-00530999 board will work
2W5xtODW5m8-02305-00531000-00531311 um uh towards the agreement that that
2W5xtODW5m8-02306-00531312-00531535 if it can be reached i want to say that
2W5xtODW5m8-02307-00531536-00531735 i i support the motion

2W5xtODW5m8-02310-00532352-00532566 that they're adding to this
2W5xtODW5m8-02311-00532567-00532870 um i think it's very worthwhile
2W5xtODW5m8-02312-00532871-00533255 um you know the sheriff uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02313-00533256-00533487 has taken a leadership position on the
2W5xtODW5m8-02314-00533488-00533655 kind of police forces that we want in
2W5xtODW5m8-02315-00533656-00533775 this country
2W5xtODW5m8-02316-00533776-00533966 and so it is difficult to see some of
2W5xtODW5m8-02317-00533967-00534151 these things cut back and trying to find
2W5xtODW5m8-02318-00534152-00534399 a way to put some of these programs back
2W5xtODW5m8-02319-00534400-00534751 in place is is our commitment to the
2W5xtODW5m8-02320-00534752-00534855 very things that
2W5xtODW5m8-02321-00534856-00535079 we hear the community asking us for i'll

2W5xtODW5m8-02323-00535232-00535575 okay
2W5xtODW5m8-02324-00535576-00535895 to be clear i would uh i mean maybe the
2W5xtODW5m8-02325-00535896-00535951 second
2W5xtODW5m8-02326-00535952-00536191 one to say first but uh i would be
2W5xtODW5m8-02327-00536192-00536470 willing to accept
2W5xtODW5m8-02328-00536471-00536855 the uh amendments uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02329-00536856-00537183 mentioned by uh supervisor clearly i
2W5xtODW5m8-02330-00537184-00537303 know that we're going to have to look at
2W5xtODW5m8-02331-00537304-00537527 the time about the funding
2W5xtODW5m8-02332-00537528-00537727 uh that what position we are in the
2W5xtODW5m8-02333-00537728-00537831 budget uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02334-00537832-00538031 with these well-deserved and great
2W5xtODW5m8-02335-00538032-00538207 programs that we have put into place
2W5xtODW5m8-02336-00538208-00538391 that the sheriff has put into place
2W5xtODW5m8-02337-00538392-00538695 so i i'm willing to accept that the uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02338-00538696-00539031 the members to the motion that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02339-00539032-00539351 i think well i'll refer to the uh the
2W5xtODW5m8-02340-00539352-00539447 second
2W5xtODW5m8-02341-00539448-00539766 as well we need to read the
2W5xtODW5m8-02342-00539767-00540087 motion plus the amendment
2W5xtODW5m8-02343-00540088-00540391 amendment
2W5xtODW5m8-02344-00540392-00540775 mr chair before we do that this is zach
2W5xtODW5m8-02345-00540776-00541143 okay
2W5xtODW5m8-02346-00541144-00541318 supervisor mcpherson you said in your
2W5xtODW5m8-02347-00541319-00541527 motion during your commentary you talked
2W5xtODW5m8-02348-00541528-00541559 about
2W5xtODW5m8-02349-00541560-00541783 sharing the cost 50 50. your motion
2W5xtODW5m8-02350-00541784-00541999 specifically just refers to two of the
2W5xtODW5m8-02351-00542000-00542159 three positions though
2W5xtODW5m8-02352-00542160-00542327 so i i want to i want to clarify because
2W5xtODW5m8-02353-00542328-00542462 there's a manager position in there
2W5xtODW5m8-02354-00542463-00542566 there's two
2W5xtODW5m8-02355-00542567-00542759 deputies and then there's a sergeant or
2W5xtODW5m8-02356-00542760-00542927 actually a higher level i believe
2W5xtODW5m8-02357-00542928-00543279 but either way that's what our motion is
2W5xtODW5m8-02358-00543280-00543407 and what you had said earlier is not
2W5xtODW5m8-02359-00543408-00543551 actually the same thing are we are we
2W5xtODW5m8-02360-00543552-00543639 directing
2W5xtODW5m8-02361-00543640-00544022 for a 50 50 cost split as uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02362-00544023-00544359 okay i just mentioned that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02363-00544360-00544527 specifically there were two detectives
2W5xtODW5m8-02364-00544528-00544735 included in that i'm sorry yeah that's
2W5xtODW5m8-02365-00544736-00544903 okay so so just to be clear then the
2W5xtODW5m8-02366-00544904-00545111 motion would be for the 50 50 split that
2W5xtODW5m8-02367-00545112-00545311 was discussed both by you and by sheriff
2W5xtODW5m8-02368-00545312-00546083 park
2W5xtODW5m8-02369-00546084-00546222 correct
2W5xtODW5m8-02370-00546223-00546566 okay so the motion that i have is
2W5xtODW5m8-02371-00546567-00546759 uh supervisor mcpherson moved
2W5xtODW5m8-02372-00546760-00546927 recommended actions plus additional

2W5xtODW5m8-02576-00594560-00594703 particularly for those who are moderate
2W5xtODW5m8-02577-00594704-00594870 to high risk to re-offend
2W5xtODW5m8-02578-00594871-00595031 the ability to serve vulnerable
2W5xtODW5m8-02579-00595032-00595262 populations is impacted

2W5xtODW5m8-02581-00595463-00595583 will be impacted
2W5xtODW5m8-02582-00595584-00595718 which could result in increased
2W5xtODW5m8-02583-00595719-00595903 incarceration for our clients increased
2W5xtODW5m8-02584-00595904-00596118 attention out of home placement
2W5xtODW5m8-02585-00596119-00596399 and state commitments for youth clients
2W5xtODW5m8-02586-00596400-00596614 our critical loss of revenues is also
2W5xtODW5m8-02587-00596615-00596727 related to the
2W5xtODW5m8-02588-00596728-00597087 2011 realignment 22 reduction for
2W5xtODW5m8-02589-00597088-00597343 2021 in our base allocation and the fact
2W5xtODW5m8-02590-00597344-00597407 that
2W5xtODW5m8-02591-00597408-00597662 we won't receive any growth dollars and
2W5xtODW5m8-02592-00597663-00597791 our our funding and the
2W5xtODW5m8-02593-00597792-00598087 many of our state allocations is tied to
2W5xtODW5m8-02594-00598088-00598143 you know
2W5xtODW5m8-02595-00598144-00598327 general tax revenues in the state
2W5xtODW5m8-02596-00598328-00598518 vehicle license fees and so on so that's
2W5xtODW5m8-02597-00598519-00598679 suffering and
2W5xtODW5m8-02598-00598680-00599022 not helping us out at this moment
2W5xtODW5m8-02599-00599023-00599183 i want to start with some of the
2W5xtODW5m8-02600-00599184-00599351 operational impacts and we'll start with
2W5xtODW5m8-02601-00599352-00599518 our juvenile hall
2W5xtODW5m8-02602-00599519-00599862 which requires 24 7
2W5xtODW5m8-02603-00599863-00600247 and 365 day a week staffing um and it's
2W5xtODW5m8-02604-00600248-00600455 as covid hits it's a little difficult
2W5xtODW5m8-02605-00600456-00600566 and challenging
2W5xtODW5m8-02606-00600567-00600799 for the hiring process it's slowed down
2W5xtODW5m8-02607-00600800-00600966 hiring peace officers which
2W5xtODW5m8-02608-00600967-00601118 our group supervisors are in juvenile
2W5xtODW5m8-02609-00601119-00601270 hall and probation officers is a very
2W5xtODW5m8-02610-00601271-00601455 lengthy process
2W5xtODW5m8-02611-00601456-00601639 and we have and will continue to make
2W5xtODW5m8-02612-00601640-00601807 mid-course corrections to safety
2W5xtODW5m8-02613-00601808-00602007 protocols and staff training as we adapt
2W5xtODW5m8-02614-00602008-00602310 and respond to covid19 in our community
2W5xtODW5m8-02615-00602311-00602518 you know the pandemic has also caused
2W5xtODW5m8-02616-00602519-00602695 youth to suffer the adverse impact of
2W5xtODW5m8-02617-00602696-00602966 the loss of face-to-face engagement with
2W5xtODW5m8-02618-00602967-00603151 with families providers and their
2W5xtODW5m8-02619-00603152-00603391 natural supports this results in anxiety
2W5xtODW5m8-02620-00603392-00603566 for youth and detention loneliness and
2W5xtODW5m8-02621-00603567-00603703 lack of engagement
2W5xtODW5m8-02622-00603704-00603943 with programs and providers those
2W5xtODW5m8-02623-00603944-00604110 relationships are real key i mean we're
2W5xtODW5m8-02624-00604111-00604518 providing the the methods in terms of
2W5xtODW5m8-02625-00604519-00604679 electronic you know video and phone
2W5xtODW5m8-02626-00604680-00604887 calls and so that but i don't think that
2W5xtODW5m8-02627-00604888-00605070 really comes close to really having
2W5xtODW5m8-02628-00605071-00605143 families
2W5xtODW5m8-02629-00605144-00605343 come and visit but we're not able to do
2W5xtODW5m8-02630-00605344-00605479 that hopefully we will in the near
2W5xtODW5m8-02631-00605480-00605655 future
2W5xtODW5m8-02632-00605656-00605814 i'll talk a little bit about our gym
2W5xtODW5m8-02633-00605815-00605943 project if you remember that our
2W5xtODW5m8-02634-00605944-00606070 renovation project
2W5xtODW5m8-02635-00606071-00606351 also our multi-purpose gym right now
2W5xtODW5m8-02636-00606352-00606503 we're waiting on the state department of
2W5xtODW5m8-02637-00606504-00606718 finance to approve a couple final things
2W5xtODW5m8-02638-00606719-00606959 before then we go out to bid but our
2W5xtODW5m8-02639-00606960-00607262 our um hope is that by next spring 2021
2W5xtODW5m8-02640-00607263-00607310 that we
2W5xtODW5m8-02641-00607311-00607559 we start doing those projects and
2W5xtODW5m8-02642-00607560-00607718 actually we've combined them together to
2W5xtODW5m8-02643-00607719-00607870 move them forward so i want to take
2W5xtODW5m8-02644-00607871-00608062 thank public works and capital projects
2W5xtODW5m8-02645-00608063-00608279 for really helping us move along quickly
2W5xtODW5m8-02646-00608280-00608591 in the last year
2W5xtODW5m8-02647-00608592-00608799 there's many uncertainties as we consult
2W5xtODW5m8-02648-00608800-00608966 with our medical staff
2W5xtODW5m8-02649-00608967-00609199 and plan for hopefully in the future for
2W5xtODW5m8-02650-00609200-00609318 uh resume visiting
2W5xtODW5m8-02651-00609319-00609583 in face-to-face visiting school we're
2W5xtODW5m8-02652-00609584-00609743 doing school but again it's distance
2W5xtODW5m8-02653-00609744-00609807 learning
2W5xtODW5m8-02654-00609808-00610087 and then program programming but uh it's
2W5xtODW5m8-02655-00610088-00610159 difficult in
2W5xtODW5m8-02656-00610160-00610366 in the space we have um and we have to
2W5xtODW5m8-02657-00610367-00610583 use our imaginations once conditions
2W5xtODW5m8-02658-00610584-00610799 allow for that to happen
2W5xtODW5m8-02659-00610800-00611079 one other big uncertainty for us is a
2W5xtODW5m8-02660-00611080-00611351 djj realignment dj is the division of
2W5xtODW5m8-02661-00611352-00611518 juvenile justice which is the state
2W5xtODW5m8-02662-00611519-00611710 commitment facility which the
2W5xtODW5m8-02663-00611711-00611910 governor has proposed to realign back to
2W5xtODW5m8-02664-00611911-00612110 the county so basically shut down a
2W5xtODW5m8-02665-00612111-00612295 facility where we currently have eight
2W5xtODW5m8-02666-00612296-00612414 youth and these are
2W5xtODW5m8-02667-00612415-00612543 youth who have committed the most
2W5xtODW5m8-02668-00612544-00612783 serious of offenses and on average
2W5xtODW5m8-02669-00612784-00612927 they're committed there about two years
2W5xtODW5m8-02670-00612928-00613039 so
2W5xtODW5m8-02671-00613040-00613295 the legislature has a counter proposal
2W5xtODW5m8-02672-00613296-00613414 to the governor's proposal
2W5xtODW5m8-02673-00613415-00613591 so we'll learn more about where this
2W5xtODW5m8-02674-00613592-00613839 lands and but i i i
2W5xtODW5m8-02675-00613840-00614014 seems pretty likely that it will shut
2W5xtODW5m8-02676-00614015-00614207 down it's just a matter of when
2W5xtODW5m8-02677-00614208-00614462 and who will oversee uh who have the
2W5xtODW5m8-02678-00614463-00614527 authority
2W5xtODW5m8-02679-00614528-00614791 over uh the new structure of these types
2W5xtODW5m8-02680-00614792-00614999 of commitments
2W5xtODW5m8-02681-00615000-00615143 i just want to show you the average
2W5xtODW5m8-02682-00615144-00615359 length average daily population in
2W5xtODW5m8-02683-00615360-00615479 juvenile hall
2W5xtODW5m8-02684-00615480-00615622 um across the nation the use of
2W5xtODW5m8-02685-00615623-00615831 detention has dropped considerably
2W5xtODW5m8-02686-00615832-00616007 but never before have we seen such a
2W5xtODW5m8-02687-00616008-00616279 drop as we've had during this pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-02688-00616280-00616447 we already had low numbers in juvenile
2W5xtODW5m8-02689-00616448-00616607 hall for instance today we have
2W5xtODW5m8-02690-00616608-00616887 this this morning we had 11 youth we are
2W5xtODW5m8-02691-00616888-00617087 averaging around 15
2W5xtODW5m8-02692-00617088-00617270 but you can see the significant drop in
2W5xtODW5m8-02693-00617271-00617391 april through june
2W5xtODW5m8-02694-00617392-00617607 april being you know what con cam
2W5xtODW5m8-02695-00617608-00617783 pandemic was in
2W5xtODW5m8-02696-00617784-00618062 steaming steaming through our our or the
2W5xtODW5m8-02697-00618063-00618247 world um but now we've actually
2W5xtODW5m8-02698-00618248-00618518 starting to see a slow increase up which
2W5xtODW5m8-02699-00618519-00618647 is a little concerning but really the
2W5xtODW5m8-02700-00618648-00618839 stakes have never been higher
2W5xtODW5m8-02701-00618840-00619047 to ensure that no youth is detained for
2W5xtODW5m8-02702-00619048-00619270 even an hour longer than necessary
2W5xtODW5m8-02703-00619271-00619462 as we the well-known harms of secured
2W5xtODW5m8-02704-00619463-00619647 attention are now compounded by the
2W5xtODW5m8-02705-00619648-00619791 covert 19
2W5xtODW5m8-02706-00619792-00619975 pandemic so we're using our core
2W5xtODW5m8-02707-00619976-00620135 partners working very closely with all
2W5xtODW5m8-02708-00620136-00620270 of them to really
2W5xtODW5m8-02709-00620271-00620518 ensure that we only the most serious
2W5xtODW5m8-02710-00620519-00620614 youth
2W5xtODW5m8-02711-00620615-00621047 high needs high-risk youth are detained
2W5xtODW5m8-02712-00621048-00621359 we'll talk about juvenile field services
2W5xtODW5m8-02713-00621360-00621559 here are some of our revisions we have
2W5xtODW5m8-02714-00621560-00621695 three probation officer
2W5xtODW5m8-02715-00621696-00621879 vacancies in that division which are two
2W5xtODW5m8-02716-00621880-00622055 placement officers and one
2W5xtODW5m8-02717-00622056-00622270 wrap around offices officers an
2W5xtODW5m8-02718-00622271-00622414 intensive case load
2W5xtODW5m8-02719-00622415-00622639 really any vacancies they're aware means
2W5xtODW5m8-02720-00622640-00622814 less service for youth and families and
2W5xtODW5m8-02721-00622815-00622943 increased workload
2W5xtODW5m8-02722-00622944-00623103 for other staff we have to make up for
2W5xtODW5m8-02723-00623104-00623318 this and this these vacancies across our
2W5xtODW5m8-02724-00623319-00623503 divisions are compounded by
2W5xtODW5m8-02725-00623504-00623718 staff limited ability to be at work
2W5xtODW5m8-02726-00623719-00623903 because of child care issues
2W5xtODW5m8-02727-00623904-00624079 and even and medical issues in some
2W5xtODW5m8-02728-00624080-00624287 cases
2W5xtODW5m8-02729-00624288-00624487 there's quite a few client wellness
2W5xtODW5m8-02730-00624488-00624599 impacts we have prior
2W5xtODW5m8-02731-00624600-00624766 to the pandemic you know our youth and
2W5xtODW5m8-02732-00624767-00624943 families were already struggling
2W5xtODW5m8-02733-00624944-00625103 with so many things such as again
2W5xtODW5m8-02734-00625104-00625310 housing employment educational issues
2W5xtODW5m8-02735-00625311-00625399 health care child
2W5xtODW5m8-02736-00625400-00625775 care food insecurity and as we know
2W5xtODW5m8-02737-00625776-00625999 there's a over representation of latinx
2W5xtODW5m8-02738-00626000-00626247 youth in our juvenile justice system
2W5xtODW5m8-02739-00626248-00626383 their families have been often
2W5xtODW5m8-02740-00626384-00626566 marginalized
2W5xtODW5m8-02741-00626567-00626807 in this social isolation caused by
2W5xtODW5m8-02742-00626808-00626999 shelter and place and slash march
2W5xtODW5m8-02743-00627000-00627214 we've seen it taking a toll on our our
2W5xtODW5m8-02744-00627215-00627495 youth and families
2W5xtODW5m8-02745-00627496-00627791 um community supervision um has allowed
2W5xtODW5m8-02746-00627792-00627943 us to really make many changes in the
2W5xtODW5m8-02747-00627944-00628127 way we interact with youth and families
2W5xtODW5m8-02748-00628128-00628279 and our community partners the majority
2W5xtODW5m8-02749-00628280-00628470 of these contacts have been by phone and
2W5xtODW5m8-02750-00628471-00628591 video
2W5xtODW5m8-02751-00628592-00628822 conferencing and we created the process
2W5xtODW5m8-02752-00628823-00629055 called work curbside wellness checks
2W5xtODW5m8-02753-00629056-00629191 which allows us to meet youth and
2W5xtODW5m8-02754-00629192-00629335 families in the community but being
2W5xtODW5m8-02755-00629336-00629662 mindful of social distancing
2W5xtODW5m8-02756-00629663-00629831 so we've really shifted our our
2W5xtODW5m8-02757-00629832-00630039 strategies to do community supervision
2W5xtODW5m8-02758-00630040-00630247 largely with success of course the
2W5xtODW5m8-02759-00630248-00630422 concern is are those families that don't
2W5xtODW5m8-02760-00630423-00630614 have the technology or the internet
2W5xtODW5m8-02761-00630615-00630670 access
2W5xtODW5m8-02762-00630671-00631055 and so we've also purchased
2W5xtODW5m8-02763-00631056-00631255 those kinds of items for them to to be
2W5xtODW5m8-02764-00631256-00631470 able to connect with us
2W5xtODW5m8-02765-00631471-00631703 prior to the pandemic our luna evening
2W5xtODW5m8-02766-00631704-00631887 center in watsonville was operating five
2W5xtODW5m8-02767-00631888-00632031 days a week monday through friday
2W5xtODW5m8-02768-00632032-00632151 providing really a
2W5xtODW5m8-02769-00632152-00632383 safe place and programming for south
2W5xtODW5m8-02770-00632384-00632495 county youth
2W5xtODW5m8-02771-00632496-00632751 um you know we had to shut down that
2W5xtODW5m8-02772-00632752-00632927 program temporarily but
2W5xtODW5m8-02773-00632928-00633087 in the last couple of months we started
2W5xtODW5m8-02774-00633088-00633318 what we call the virtual evening center
2W5xtODW5m8-02775-00633319-00633487 shifting our service delivery and
2W5xtODW5m8-02776-00633488-00633679 reaching out to families via phone text
2W5xtODW5m8-02777-00633680-00633807 video and so on
2W5xtODW5m8-02778-00633808-00634055 and doing the curbside wellness checks
2W5xtODW5m8-02779-00634056-00634199 really some great news during the
2W5xtODW5m8-02780-00634200-00634351 pandemic is that
2W5xtODW5m8-02781-00634352-00634566 together with community action board is
2W5xtODW5m8-02782-00634567-00634807 the lead we recently received a 1.2
2W5xtODW5m8-02783-00634808-00634862 million
2W5xtODW5m8-02784-00634863-00635110 grant to support our evening center in
2W5xtODW5m8-02785-00635111-00635303 south county so that was great news so
2W5xtODW5m8-02786-00635304-00635366 even
2W5xtODW5m8-02787-00635367-00635566 even actually it's probably one of the
2W5xtODW5m8-02788-00635567-00635727 last times that many of us were together
2W5xtODW5m8-02789-00635728-00635910 in the room was putting that grant
2W5xtODW5m8-02790-00635911-00636070 together in february and
2W5xtODW5m8-02791-00636071-00636351 we were got the great news last month so
2W5xtODW5m8-02792-00636352-00636518 it'll support our evening center and cab
2W5xtODW5m8-02793-00636519-00636679 will be doing a lot of exciting work
2W5xtODW5m8-02794-00636680-00636935 there
2W5xtODW5m8-02795-00636936-00637083 talk a little bit about our adult
2W5xtODW5m8-02796-00637084-00637351 services really during this great health
2W5xtODW5m8-02797-00637352-00637407 crisis
2W5xtODW5m8-02798-00637408-00637631 our adult division has really accepted
2W5xtODW5m8-02799-00637632-00637759 the challenge to ease
2W5xtODW5m8-02800-00637760-00637935 jail crowding and prison crowding
2W5xtODW5m8-02801-00637936-00638055 because really there's no space to
2W5xtODW5m8-02802-00638056-00638191 socially distance
2W5xtODW5m8-02803-00638192-00638366 and it's become our responsibility to
2W5xtODW5m8-02804-00638367-00638535 supervise those released to us
2W5xtODW5m8-02805-00638536-00638647 to protect the health of those
2W5xtODW5m8-02806-00638648-00638855 individuals and the health and safety of
2W5xtODW5m8-02807-00638856-00638999 the community
2W5xtODW5m8-02808-00639000-00639279 um additionally an effort to assist
2W5xtODW5m8-02809-00639280-00639470 custodial facilities and the burden on
2W5xtODW5m8-02810-00639471-00639710 courts temporary zero bail orders
2W5xtODW5m8-02811-00639711-00639927 were put in place which required a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-02812-00639928-00640110 of crap time and collaboration between
2W5xtODW5m8-02813-00640111-00640287 pre-trial the courts corrections
2W5xtODW5m8-02814-00640288-00640543 and the district attorney's office but
2W5xtODW5m8-02815-00640544-00640687 before me you heard the sheriff talk
2W5xtODW5m8-02816-00640688-00640870 about that we are at 58
2W5xtODW5m8-02817-00640871-00641095 of the jail capacity so many of those
2W5xtODW5m8-02818-00641096-00641191 individuals are
2W5xtODW5m8-02819-00641192-00641375 supervised by us in the community on
2W5xtODW5m8-02820-00641376-00641591 pre-trial
2W5xtODW5m8-02821-00641592-00641766 the staffing changes for us again
2W5xtODW5m8-02822-00641767-00641991 there's three vacant unfunded positions
2W5xtODW5m8-02823-00641992-00642118 in the adult division which
2W5xtODW5m8-02824-00642119-00642447 are two general supervision caseloads
2W5xtODW5m8-02825-00642448-00642614 and one domestic violence probation
2W5xtODW5m8-02826-00642615-00642695 officer
2W5xtODW5m8-02827-00642696-00642839 and really what happens when we have
2W5xtODW5m8-02828-00642840-00643007 vacancies which we which we
2W5xtODW5m8-02829-00643008-00643327 we have historically and as we run to
2W5xtODW5m8-02830-00643328-00643383 try to
2W5xtODW5m8-02831-00643384-00643559 hire is that some of these we have
2W5xtODW5m8-02832-00643560-00643766 priorities are prioritize our case loads
2W5xtODW5m8-02833-00643767-00643855 so we
2W5xtODW5m8-02834-00643856-00644087 some of these folks we've combined some
2W5xtODW5m8-02835-00644088-00644222 of the mid
2W5xtODW5m8-02836-00644223-00644455 uh mid-level risk to re-offend case
2W5xtODW5m8-02837-00644456-00644639 loads into large case loads with one
2W5xtODW5m8-02838-00644640-00644718 officer
2W5xtODW5m8-02839-00644719-00644879 and then moved to other officers to our
2W5xtODW5m8-02840-00644880-00645079 high-end sex offender programs
2W5xtODW5m8-02841-00645080-00645318 severely mental like the most most team
2W5xtODW5m8-02842-00645319-00645422 and of course the
2W5xtODW5m8-02843-00645423-00645670 realignment ab109 case loads but these
2W5xtODW5m8-02844-00645671-00645807 are hard decisions that we've had to
2W5xtODW5m8-02845-00645808-00645935 make in order to
2W5xtODW5m8-02846-00645936-00646399 to to prioritize operational impacts
2W5xtODW5m8-02847-00646400-00646591 um pre-trial numbers have continued to
2W5xtODW5m8-02848-00646592-00646751 rise each year
2W5xtODW5m8-02849-00646752-00647062 with a notable spike of
2W5xtODW5m8-02850-00647063-00647343 when we saw over 200 200 individuals on
2W5xtODW5m8-02851-00647344-00647495 supervised pre-trial
2W5xtODW5m8-02852-00647496-00647647 during this pandemic it was an increase
2W5xtODW5m8-02853-00647648-00647870 from quarter one of this year to quarter
2W5xtODW5m8-02854-00647871-00648079 two a twenty percent increase
2W5xtODW5m8-02855-00648080-00648270 and when we look at uh the increase from
2W5xtODW5m8-02856-00648271-00648479 a year ago it's a 41
2W5xtODW5m8-02857-00648480-00648631 increase and i just want to point out
2W5xtODW5m8-02858-00648632-00648791 that these increases have taken place
2W5xtODW5m8-02859-00648792-00648927 without more staffing
2W5xtODW5m8-02860-00648928-00649151 but we've allocated in shifting staff
2W5xtODW5m8-02861-00649152-00649343 from other areas to do this
2W5xtODW5m8-02862-00649344-00649566 the start of the pandemic when court
2W5xtODW5m8-02863-00649567-00649647 really was
2W5xtODW5m8-02864-00649648-00649870 suspended not suspended entirely but
2W5xtODW5m8-02865-00649871-00649975 there was a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-02866-00649976-00650318 timelines that were shifted we
2W5xtODW5m8-02867-00650319-00650495 we had some officers that were normally
2W5xtODW5m8-02868-00650496-00650655 in court every day writing pre-sense
2W5xtODW5m8-02869-00650656-00650807 investigations and we moved then the
2W5xtODW5m8-02870-00650808-00650966 cover pre-trial but now
2W5xtODW5m8-02871-00650967-00651214 his court has started up again and
2W5xtODW5m8-02872-00651215-00651383 they're processing cases
2W5xtODW5m8-02873-00651384-00651551 we're getting busy and not unable to do
2W5xtODW5m8-02874-00651552-00651807 that as you are aware
2W5xtODW5m8-02875-00651808-00652079 there have been quite a few early
2W5xtODW5m8-02876-00652080-00652214 releases from prison
2W5xtODW5m8-02877-00652215-00652391 today in our community we've probably
2W5xtODW5m8-02878-00652392-00652543 had nearly 60
2W5xtODW5m8-02879-00652544-00652839 releases these are individuals that were
2W5xtODW5m8-02880-00652840-00652951 released
2W5xtODW5m8-02881-00652952-00653095 because they've earned credits through
2W5xtODW5m8-02882-00653096-00653303 prop 57 and of course they're at their
2W5xtODW5m8-02883-00653304-00653455 high risk for covid
2W5xtODW5m8-02884-00653456-00653614 so they've come back to the communities
2W5xtODW5m8-02885-00653615-00653791 the governors decided that they would
2W5xtODW5m8-02886-00653792-00653935 come back to probation
2W5xtODW5m8-02887-00653936-00654143 instead of parole so it's been an
2W5xtODW5m8-02888-00654144-00654318 additional burden and my staff have been
2W5xtODW5m8-02889-00654319-00654366 working
2W5xtODW5m8-02890-00654367-00654518 you know around the clock to secure
2W5xtODW5m8-02891-00654519-00654687 housing food
2W5xtODW5m8-02892-00654688-00654847 for those folks and the right type of
2W5xtODW5m8-02893-00654848-00655014 housing and or if they need to be
2W5xtODW5m8-02894-00655015-00655118 quarantined so
2W5xtODW5m8-02895-00655119-00655287 and you know san quentin had quite a
2W5xtODW5m8-02896-00655288-00655503 outbreak in on covet so it's
2W5xtODW5m8-02897-00655504-00655718 uh it's worrisome but my staff are doing
2W5xtODW5m8-02898-00655719-00656062 an amazing job
2W5xtODW5m8-02899-00656063-00656247 i'll show you it's just a slide of the
2W5xtODW5m8-02900-00656248-00656414 pre-trial population
2W5xtODW5m8-02901-00656415-00656647 um you can see how much it's uh really
2W5xtODW5m8-02902-00656648-00656839 continues to increase particularly in
2W5xtODW5m8-02903-00656840-00657110 the first half of 2020.
2W5xtODW5m8-02904-00657111-00657479 um we're hoping that you know with our
2W5xtODW5m8-02905-00657480-00657670 other programs as we talked about the
2W5xtODW5m8-02906-00657671-00657783 district attorney talked about the
2W5xtODW5m8-02907-00657784-00657943 neighborhood courts program through prop
2W5xtODW5m8-02908-00657944-00658087 47 and there's a number of other
2W5xtODW5m8-02909-00658088-00658270 programs that that may be able to help
2W5xtODW5m8-02910-00658271-00658335 divert
2W5xtODW5m8-02911-00658336-00658543 more cases actually from even having to
2W5xtODW5m8-02912-00658544-00658751 come into the jail
2W5xtODW5m8-02913-00658752-00659062 so um we're hoping that we can reduce
2W5xtODW5m8-02914-00659063-00659166 these numbers but
2W5xtODW5m8-02915-00659167-00659343 in keeping our community safe and jail
2W5xtODW5m8-02916-00659344-00659814 population low
2W5xtODW5m8-02917-00659815-00659991 in this photo you see our juvenile court
2W5xtODW5m8-02918-00659992-00660118 judge deneen guy
2W5xtODW5m8-02919-00660119-00660270 casa director jimmy cook and our
2W5xtODW5m8-02920-00660271-00660470 juvenile hall superintendent sarah ryan
2W5xtODW5m8-02921-00660471-00660631 and assistant superintendent hugo
2W5xtODW5m8-02922-00660632-00660718 calderon
2W5xtODW5m8-02923-00660719-00660870 and it was taken to commemorate the
2W5xtODW5m8-02924-00660871-00661039 delivery of supplies that were delivered
2W5xtODW5m8-02925-00661040-00661143 by casa
2W5xtODW5m8-02926-00661144-00661310 for youth detained in the juvenile hall
2W5xtODW5m8-02927-00661311-00661591 and really impacted by the isolation
2W5xtODW5m8-02928-00661592-00661743 in this picture you'll see the items if
2W5xtODW5m8-02929-00661744-00661927 you can see those are board games snacks
2W5xtODW5m8-02930-00661928-00662070 reading materials
2W5xtODW5m8-02931-00662071-00662239 or just some of the items there and i
2W5xtODW5m8-02932-00662240-00662439 just want to thank you casa
2W5xtODW5m8-02933-00662440-00662639 for helping us to fill in these gaps and
2W5xtODW5m8-02934-00662640-00662807 lessen the effect of the
2W5xtODW5m8-02935-00662808-00662999 uh on the youth that we serve that are
2W5xtODW5m8-02936-00663000-00663255 isolated
2W5xtODW5m8-02937-00663256-00663439 so talk about a couple of the impacts on
2W5xtODW5m8-02938-00663440-00663591 the operational plan
2W5xtODW5m8-02939-00663592-00663927 number 166 which is school outreach
2W5xtODW5m8-02940-00663928-00664062 which is to collaborate with school
2W5xtODW5m8-02941-00664063-00664270 partners to implement social emotional
2W5xtODW5m8-02942-00664271-00664551 responses to student behaviors or at
2W5xtODW5m8-02943-00664552-00664718 or absences and we've met our objective
2W5xtODW5m8-02944-00664719-00664903 to work with three new school partners
2W5xtODW5m8-02945-00664904-00665103 which is pajo valley high school
2W5xtODW5m8-02946-00665104-00665407 renaissance high school and new school
2W5xtODW5m8-02947-00665408-00665583 but we've had to shift to a virtual
2W5xtODW5m8-02948-00665584-00665862 platform clearly during the pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-02949-00665863-00666135 but even even doing that we've still
2W5xtODW5m8-02950-00666136-00666335 seen a 17
2W5xtODW5m8-02951-00666336-00666583 increase in credit school credit accrual
2W5xtODW5m8-02952-00666584-00666655 over
2W5xtODW5m8-02953-00666656-00666983 one year ago so that's one of the goals
2W5xtODW5m8-02954-00666984-00667231 goal number 169 youth resilience
2W5xtODW5m8-02955-00667232-00667414 enhancing juvenile hall education by
2W5xtODW5m8-02956-00667415-00667647 sustaining the use of tablets
2W5xtODW5m8-02957-00667648-00667943 100 we've made tablets available to 100
2W5xtODW5m8-02958-00667944-00668070 percent of the youth and it's
2W5xtODW5m8-02959-00668071-00668199 particularly important during the
2W5xtODW5m8-02960-00668200-00668639 pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-02961-00668640-00668799 so we'll talk about our operational
2W5xtODW5m8-02962-00668800-00668991 impacts as you as you know our service
2W5xtODW5m8-02963-00668992-00669047 center
2W5xtODW5m8-02964-00669048-00669262 opened up in the summer of 2019 just a
2W5xtODW5m8-02965-00669263-00669414 little over a year ago and we quickly
2W5xtODW5m8-02966-00669415-00669543 quickly ramped up
2W5xtODW5m8-02967-00669544-00669766 this photo was taken on february 25th
2W5xtODW5m8-02968-00669767-00669918 2020 i think it might have been the last
2W5xtODW5m8-02969-00669919-00670055 time i was actually
2W5xtODW5m8-02970-00670056-00670279 here in the on these chambers it was
2W5xtODW5m8-02971-00670280-00670391 showing uh
2W5xtODW5m8-02972-00670392-00670575 recognizing the probation team as the
2W5xtODW5m8-02973-00670576-00670703 recipients of the county employee
2W5xtODW5m8-02974-00670704-00670814 recognition
2W5xtODW5m8-02975-00670815-00671079 program gold award and justice category
2W5xtODW5m8-02976-00671080-00671247 we're just so very proud of the work and
2W5xtODW5m8-02977-00671248-00671407 how they too has shifted and adapted
2W5xtODW5m8-02978-00671408-00671599 during the covet 19.
2W5xtODW5m8-02979-00671600-00671847 so one of our our goals was to by june
2W5xtODW5m8-02980-00671848-00671943 2020
2W5xtODW5m8-02981-00671944-00672118 probation will serve 10 percent of all
2W5xtODW5m8-02982-00672119-00672287 clients at the service center
2W5xtODW5m8-02983-00672288-00672470 we've done that because we quickly
2W5xtODW5m8-02984-00672471-00672695 ramped up but our population has been
2W5xtODW5m8-02985-00672696-00672758 reduced
2W5xtODW5m8-02986-00672759-00672975 uh the numbers served about by 50
2W5xtODW5m8-02987-00672976-00673062 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-02988-00673063-00673383 because we did close um through june
2W5xtODW5m8-02989-00673384-00673687 um and we've opened up in a phased safe
2W5xtODW5m8-02990-00673688-00673839 model that we're operating now by
2W5xtODW5m8-02991-00673840-00674039 appointment only and running a few
2W5xtODW5m8-02992-00674040-00674110 classes
2W5xtODW5m8-02993-00674111-00674287 out of the service center but we are
2W5xtODW5m8-02994-00674288-00674495 serving 300 a month and i hope to
2W5xtODW5m8-02995-00674496-00674710 to get there i do want to let you know
2W5xtODW5m8-02996-00674711-00674814 we're also working on
2W5xtODW5m8-02997-00674815-00675087 opening even even in east times a
2W5xtODW5m8-02998-00675088-00675255 service center in south county
2W5xtODW5m8-02999-00675256-00675399 working with one of our community
2W5xtODW5m8-03000-00675400-00675591 partners to design a model because
2W5xtODW5m8-03001-00675592-00675758 we do have a number of individuals in
2W5xtODW5m8-03002-00675759-00675918 watsonville that that really could
2W5xtODW5m8-03003-00675919-00675975 benefit
2W5xtODW5m8-03004-00675976-00676535 from these these same services
2W5xtODW5m8-03005-00676536-00676766 so wrapping it up just talk a little bit
2W5xtODW5m8-03006-00676767-00676999 about uh the uncertainties but uh you
2W5xtODW5m8-03007-00677000-00677031 know
2W5xtODW5m8-03008-00677032-00677279 this picture captures where we're at in
2W5xtODW5m8-03009-00677280-00677462 the moment at probation really
2W5xtODW5m8-03010-00677463-00677639 um one thing for sure that our work in
2W5xtODW5m8-03011-00677640-00677822 the field contin continues but with a
2W5xtODW5m8-03012-00677823-00677991 lot of modifications
2W5xtODW5m8-03013-00677992-00678166 this is a photo of bel perez one of our
2W5xtODW5m8-03014-00678167-00678310 deputy probation officers on our
2W5xtODW5m8-03015-00678311-00678447 placement unit and she's leaving the
2W5xtODW5m8-03016-00678448-00678518 office
2W5xtODW5m8-03017-00678519-00678807 with what we call go bags which are you
2W5xtODW5m8-03018-00678808-00679039 know staff are all supplied with uh ppe
2W5xtODW5m8-03019-00679040-00679351 sanitizing supplies
2W5xtODW5m8-03020-00679352-00679543 for for themselves and for the clients
2W5xtODW5m8-03021-00679544-00679662 that we serve
2W5xtODW5m8-03022-00679663-00679839 including face coverings we do handle a
2W5xtODW5m8-03023-00679840-00680062 lot of those a lot of those out
2W5xtODW5m8-03024-00680063-00680303 um as i've mentioned the division of
2W5xtODW5m8-03025-00680304-00680479 juvenile justice something that
2W5xtODW5m8-03026-00680480-00680679 we're we know certainty it's going to
2W5xtODW5m8-03027-00680680-00680855 close but how that looks
2W5xtODW5m8-03028-00680856-00681079 we will we don't know quite yet and what
2W5xtODW5m8-03029-00681080-00681287 the cost will be and implications
2W5xtODW5m8-03030-00681288-00681966 for us locally will be
2W5xtODW5m8-03031-00681967-00682166 and so we also really seeing an increase
2W5xtODW5m8-03032-00682167-00682358 in the behavioral health needs of youth
2W5xtODW5m8-03033-00682359-00682614 and substance use uh and of course some
2W5xtODW5m8-03034-00682615-00682799 of the challenges we have many contracts
2W5xtODW5m8-03035-00682800-00682983 with our service providers
2W5xtODW5m8-03036-00682984-00683247 probably uh two million dollars in
2W5xtODW5m8-03037-00683248-00683383 community contracts which are
2W5xtODW5m8-03038-00683384-00683639 so important but they've had the shift
2W5xtODW5m8-03039-00683640-00683703 um they're
2W5xtODW5m8-03040-00683704-00683879 they're tied to outcomes they're tied to
2W5xtODW5m8-03041-00683880-00684022 a service delivery model and
2W5xtODW5m8-03042-00684023-00684191 everything's really shifted so
2W5xtODW5m8-03043-00684192-00684391 my analyst team has worked really really
2W5xtODW5m8-03044-00684392-00684510 hard to make sure they're they're in
2W5xtODW5m8-03045-00684511-00684631 compliance and we've
2W5xtODW5m8-03046-00684632-00684862 modified contract language so they they
2W5xtODW5m8-03047-00684863-00684951 can
2W5xtODW5m8-03048-00684952-00685110 get paid for their services and for the
2W5xtODW5m8-03049-00685111-00685335 most part it's it's working out pretty
2W5xtODW5m8-03050-00685336-00685479 well there's some challenges in some
2W5xtODW5m8-03051-00685480-00685575 areas
2W5xtODW5m8-03052-00685576-00686255 but it's been working out
2W5xtODW5m8-03053-00686256-00686455 you know i also want to acknowledge the
2W5xtODW5m8-03054-00686456-00686607 management team for being the first of
2W5xtODW5m8-03055-00686608-00686799 our staff to resume field activities and
2W5xtODW5m8-03056-00686800-00686999 conducting curbside wellness checks this
2W5xtODW5m8-03057-00687000-00687166 photo was taken in may and shows
2W5xtODW5m8-03058-00687167-00687431 managers natalie burns and jose flores
2W5xtODW5m8-03059-00687432-00687647 initiating the checks and designing
2W5xtODW5m8-03060-00687648-00687855 plans for staff and to safely conduct
2W5xtODW5m8-03061-00687856-00687999 them so going really back out in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03062-00688000-00688079 field was a
2W5xtODW5m8-03063-00688080-00688414 was a was a big step last in may
2W5xtODW5m8-03064-00688415-00688622 but we we've since done that and we have
2W5xtODW5m8-03065-00688623-00688822 all the supplies necessary and are
2W5xtODW5m8-03066-00688823-00689039 conducting transports and doing doing
2W5xtODW5m8-03067-00689040-00689175 visits
2W5xtODW5m8-03068-00689176-00689375 when necessary but there's certain
2W5xtODW5m8-03069-00689376-00689510 uncertainties on the
2W5xtODW5m8-03070-00689511-00689703 adult side particularly with bail reform
2W5xtODW5m8-03071-00689704-00689910 as you know that governor brown signed
2W5xtODW5m8-03072-00689911-00690095 that in legislation two years ago but
2W5xtODW5m8-03073-00690096-00690262 there's a referendum on that and that's
2W5xtODW5m8-03074-00690263-00690327 now
2W5xtODW5m8-03075-00690328-00690599 on the ballot in 2020 um that could
2W5xtODW5m8-03076-00690600-00690703 change things
2W5xtODW5m8-03077-00690704-00690918 quite dramatically which whichever way
2W5xtODW5m8-03078-00690919-00691103 it goes for us if bail
2W5xtODW5m8-03079-00691104-00691335 uh cash bail continues or if it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03080-00691336-00691518 eliminated there will be a significant
2W5xtODW5m8-03081-00691519-00691766 uh more work for for probation
2W5xtODW5m8-03082-00691767-00691951 departments in the in the system
2W5xtODW5m8-03083-00691952-00692199 um sb 678 funding in the original
2W5xtODW5m8-03084-00692200-00692327 january budget
2W5xtODW5m8-03085-00692328-00692479 it was proposed that that funding would
2W5xtODW5m8-03086-00692480-00692679 be stable and at the highest
2W5xtODW5m8-03087-00692680-00692935 three-year average that we had and that
2W5xtODW5m8-03088-00692936-00693158 again with pandemic that was eliminated
2W5xtODW5m8-03089-00693159-00693270 that would have really helped us it
2W5xtODW5m8-03090-00693271-00693407 would have been a half a million dollar
2W5xtODW5m8-03091-00693408-00693527 increase
2W5xtODW5m8-03092-00693528-00693847 um and then of course the ab-109 funding
2W5xtODW5m8-03093-00693848-00694166 is is uncertain it relies so much on tax
2W5xtODW5m8-03094-00694167-00694287 revenues
2W5xtODW5m8-03095-00694288-00694503 um and so of course the the number of
2W5xtODW5m8-03096-00694504-00694670 folks that we will continue to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03097-00694671-00694814 released from prisons to us
2W5xtODW5m8-03098-00694815-00695110 is kind of uncertain uncertain and the
2W5xtODW5m8-03099-00695111-00695191 role of
2W5xtODW5m8-03100-00695192-00695343 parole in the future is actually
2W5xtODW5m8-03101-00695344-00695543 uncertain um and that that would be a
2W5xtODW5m8-03102-00695544-00695639 significant
2W5xtODW5m8-03103-00695640-00695887 impact or workload shift to probation
2W5xtODW5m8-03104-00695888-00696383 moving forward
2W5xtODW5m8-03105-00696384-00696662 the photo you see here is prb our mascot
2W5xtODW5m8-03106-00696663-00696814 for our newsletter
2W5xtODW5m8-03107-00696815-00696966 and you can see this is that was from
2W5xtODW5m8-03108-00696967-00697183 the spring quarantine edition and
2W5xtODW5m8-03109-00697184-00697358 he's got a little bottle of spray there
2W5xtODW5m8-03110-00697359-00697535 and a badge is ready to safely go out
2W5xtODW5m8-03111-00697536-00697662 and do the work
2W5xtODW5m8-03112-00697663-00698007 um so um i'd like in the last edition
2W5xtODW5m8-03113-00698008-00698118 actually of this
2W5xtODW5m8-03114-00698119-00698343 was was in 2011 you know couple years
2W5xtODW5m8-03115-00698344-00698431 into the
2W5xtODW5m8-03116-00698432-00698679 the last recession that we had but it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03117-00698680-00698831 been resurrected and i really want to
2W5xtODW5m8-03118-00698832-00698918 acknowledge
2W5xtODW5m8-03119-00698919-00699166 probation supervisor julia fellman for
2W5xtODW5m8-03120-00699167-00699310 taking the lead on reviving this
2W5xtODW5m8-03121-00699311-00699439 newsletter
2W5xtODW5m8-03122-00699440-00699647 as most of us has done we have looked at
2W5xtODW5m8-03123-00699648-00699847 the silver lining during the pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-03124-00699848-00700031 and i would say the pandemic really
2W5xtODW5m8-03125-00700032-00700175 brought our department together as we
2W5xtODW5m8-03126-00700176-00700439 shifted and adapted to this new world
2W5xtODW5m8-03127-00700440-00700727 covet 19 coupled with the tragic loss of
2W5xtODW5m8-03128-00700728-00700879 sergeant damon gutzwiller
2W5xtODW5m8-03129-00700880-00701062 and the racial reckoning as a result of
2W5xtODW5m8-03130-00701063-00701231 the killing of george floyd
2W5xtODW5m8-03131-00701232-00701487 shook us all to the core as a department
2W5xtODW5m8-03132-00701488-00701670 we remain committed to adapting to
2W5xtODW5m8-03133-00701671-00701847 meeting the needs of those we serve the
2W5xtODW5m8-03134-00701848-00702022 covit 19 pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-03135-00702023-00702183 and equally committed to providing
2W5xtODW5m8-03136-00702184-00702383 equitable opportunities
2W5xtODW5m8-03137-00702384-00702575 to all through our efforts i'm proud of
2W5xtODW5m8-03138-00702576-00702727 my management team and staff for the
2W5xtODW5m8-03139-00702728-00702958 resilience and creativity as we continue
2W5xtODW5m8-03140-00702959-00703310 to navigate challenging times my vision
2W5xtODW5m8-03141-00703311-00703479 for the coming year is that we maintain
2W5xtODW5m8-03142-00703480-00703639 and adopt many of the innovative
2W5xtODW5m8-03143-00703640-00703814 practices that we've discovered
2W5xtODW5m8-03144-00703815-00703975 that were highly successful during the
2W5xtODW5m8-03145-00703976-00704183 pandemic we realized that we could do
2W5xtODW5m8-03146-00704184-00704270 virtual
2W5xtODW5m8-03147-00704271-00704470 family meetings and folks living room
2W5xtODW5m8-03148-00704471-00704614 without having having them
2W5xtODW5m8-03149-00704615-00704758 you know drive through the traffic that
2W5xtODW5m8-03150-00704759-00704958 have drive an hour one way for a
2W5xtODW5m8-03151-00704959-00705070 20-minute appointment
2W5xtODW5m8-03152-00705071-00705262 and turn around there's a lot that we
2W5xtODW5m8-03153-00705263-00705399 can do um
2W5xtODW5m8-03154-00705400-00705583 and so for us it's really finding out
2W5xtODW5m8-03155-00705584-00705703 those who who
2W5xtODW5m8-03156-00705704-00705870 we really do need to see in person which
2W5xtODW5m8-03157-00705871-00706014 are many um
2W5xtODW5m8-03158-00706015-00706183 and others that perhaps we can just do
2W5xtODW5m8-03159-00706184-00706439 virtual check-ins and save folks time
2W5xtODW5m8-03160-00706440-00706758 um so that's that's what we're hoping to
2W5xtODW5m8-03161-00706759-00706895 do we've learned a lot and i think we
2W5xtODW5m8-03162-00706896-00707095 can do things a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-03163-00707096-00707262 better unfortunately it took a pandemic
2W5xtODW5m8-03164-00707263-00707495 to to have that occur
2W5xtODW5m8-03165-00707496-00707703 so uh now i will ask that you approve
2W5xtODW5m8-03166-00707704-00707839 the supplemental budget for the
2W5xtODW5m8-03167-00707840-00707966 probation department
2W5xtODW5m8-03168-00707967-00708262 and take in any addition materials and

2W5xtODW5m8-03214-00717319-00717566 which is to be in contact to see

2W5xtODW5m8-03216-00717888-00718062 as we've experienced in lots of other
2W5xtODW5m8-03217-00718063-00718303 places you have to do things differently
2W5xtODW5m8-03218-00718304-00718535 and it sounds like the creativity of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03219-00718536-00718766 department still shines and trying to
2W5xtODW5m8-03220-00718767-00718991 do things like the curbside wellness
2W5xtODW5m8-03221-00718992-00719199 checks and and other pieces

2W5xtODW5m8-03226-00719967-00720127 creativity
2W5xtODW5m8-03227-00720128-00720470 i had a couple questions um i appreciate
2W5xtODW5m8-03228-00720471-00720639 that you shared the information that
2W5xtODW5m8-03229-00720640-00720822 pre-trial has gone up
2W5xtODW5m8-03230-00720823-00721110 and uh with less people being held in
2W5xtODW5m8-03231-00721111-00721318 the jail
2W5xtODW5m8-03232-00721319-00721510 are they are they being assessed through
2W5xtODW5m8-03233-00721511-00721655 the pre-trial and then
2W5xtODW5m8-03234-00721656-00721895 put under supervision or are they being
2W5xtODW5m8-03235-00721896-00722087 released on their own recognizance
2W5xtODW5m8-03236-00722088-00722366 how is that working uh it's a
2W5xtODW5m8-03237-00722367-00722614 combination of that zero bail
2W5xtODW5m8-03238-00722615-00722822 is zero bill that doesn't mean no bail
2W5xtODW5m8-03239-00722823-00722999 and there's exceptions to that so a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-03240-00723000-00723158 a lot fewer folks are actually being
2W5xtODW5m8-03241-00723159-00723214 brought in
2W5xtODW5m8-03242-00723215-00723414 into custody because they could be cited
2W5xtODW5m8-03243-00723415-00723631 and released a lot we're still doing
2W5xtODW5m8-03244-00723632-00723775 uh the assessments on those that
2W5xtODW5m8-03245-00723776-00724031 actually are booked into custody
2W5xtODW5m8-03246-00724032-00724351 and if they don't you know get out if
2W5xtODW5m8-03247-00724352-00724518 bail although that structure has changed
2W5xtODW5m8-03248-00724519-00724751 then we get to them and we'll review
2W5xtODW5m8-03249-00724752-00724910 and bring those recommendations from our
2W5xtODW5m8-03250-00724911-00725110 report to the courts and let them make
2W5xtODW5m8-03251-00725111-00725335 you know the determination of release
2W5xtODW5m8-03252-00725336-00725535 and the level of release whether it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03253-00725536-00725766 just some type of supervision
2W5xtODW5m8-03254-00725767-00725935 up through intensive supervision which
2W5xtODW5m8-03255-00725936-00726079 was you know with equipment you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03256-00726080-00726222 electronic monitoring
2W5xtODW5m8-03257-00726223-00726470 maybe alcohol monitoring gps housing
2W5xtODW5m8-03258-00726471-00726591 rest
2W5xtODW5m8-03259-00726592-00726791 and and have we found a greater
2W5xtODW5m8-03260-00726792-00726966 acceptance by the judiciary you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03261-00726967-00726999 it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03262-00727000-00727303 always a question of it's it's about you
2W5xtODW5m8-03263-00727304-00727351 know the
2W5xtODW5m8-03264-00727352-00727510 we're talking about the concurrence rate
2W5xtODW5m8-03265-00727511-00727655 right with our with the with the
2W5xtODW5m8-03266-00727656-00727775 recommendation that we
2W5xtODW5m8-03267-00727776-00728135 uh uh provide so generally um
2W5xtODW5m8-03268-00728136-00728391 concurrence with release recommendations
2W5xtODW5m8-03269-00728392-00728503 is on the
2W5xtODW5m8-03270-00728504-00728839 lower side it's about um hovering around
2W5xtODW5m8-03271-00728840-00729062 60 percent of the time and concurrence
2W5xtODW5m8-03272-00729063-00729231 with um
2W5xtODW5m8-03273-00729232-00729447 with detain recommendations is often you
2W5xtODW5m8-03274-00729448-00729622 know they concur with that 85 percent of
2W5xtODW5m8-03275-00729623-00729703 the time but
2W5xtODW5m8-03276-00729704-00729887 but i i believe you know the the the
2W5xtODW5m8-03277-00729888-00730014 judges have really
2W5xtODW5m8-03278-00730015-00730231 we've seen a change in our court the
2W5xtODW5m8-03279-00730232-00730414 entire system really recognizing the
2W5xtODW5m8-03280-00730415-00730622 urgency to not have anyone come into
2W5xtODW5m8-03281-00730623-00730718 jail to
2W5xtODW5m8-03282-00730719-00730999 to for the safety of the jail staff the
2W5xtODW5m8-03283-00731000-00731191 others in jail so i think
2W5xtODW5m8-03284-00731192-00731310 just a lot more people are being
2W5xtODW5m8-03285-00731311-00731495 released and they're using our tool
2W5xtODW5m8-03286-00731496-00731670 utilizing all the tools that they have
2W5xtODW5m8-03287-00731671-00731839 and relying on probation so
2W5xtODW5m8-03288-00731840-00732014 i bet you i don't have the numbers but i
2W5xtODW5m8-03289-00732015-00732166 think concurrence rates probably are
2W5xtODW5m8-03290-00732167-00732295 going to be a lot higher
2W5xtODW5m8-03291-00732296-00732518 um the last quarter starting the second
2W5xtODW5m8-03292-00732519-00732679 quarter of this year just because of our
2W5xtODW5m8-03293-00732680-00732766 situation
2W5xtODW5m8-03294-00732767-00733070 so judges are are utilizing or
2W5xtODW5m8-03295-00733071-00733262 i think are following that more than uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03296-00733263-00733470 in the past that's that's good to hear i
2W5xtODW5m8-03297-00733471-00733622 mean one of the things that we've seen
2W5xtODW5m8-03298-00733623-00733718 with the covid
2W5xtODW5m8-03299-00733719-00734039 pandemic is that incarceration doesn't
2W5xtODW5m8-03300-00734040-00734239 make us necessarily any safer
2W5xtODW5m8-03301-00734240-00734431 if we looked at the sheriff's crime
2W5xtODW5m8-03302-00734432-00734655 statistics there hasn't been a major
2W5xtODW5m8-03303-00734656-00734855 crime wave even as we've reduced
2W5xtODW5m8-03304-00734856-00735183 the jail population by over 45 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-03305-00735184-00735231 um
2W5xtODW5m8-03306-00735232-00735543 the state prison release uh is of
2W5xtODW5m8-03307-00735544-00735847 some concern i think you said 60 people
2W5xtODW5m8-03308-00735848-00736055 so far at least since that began in
2W5xtODW5m8-03309-00736056-00736183 april where they were going through
2W5xtODW5m8-03310-00736184-00736247 different uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03311-00736248-00736447 tiers you know there was first the
2W5xtODW5m8-03312-00736448-00736662 90-day releases so individuals who had
2W5xtODW5m8-03313-00736663-00736751 90 days
2W5xtODW5m8-03314-00736752-00736999 left they were being released um and
2W5xtODW5m8-03315-00737000-00737151 there was qualifications they had to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03316-00737152-00737295 non-serious non-violent
2W5xtODW5m8-03317-00737296-00737566 non-serious sex offenders and then then
2W5xtODW5m8-03318-00737567-00737822 they went to 180 days those with 180
2W5xtODW5m8-03319-00737823-00738087 days are left and same criteria to
2W5xtODW5m8-03320-00738088-00738151 determine
2W5xtODW5m8-03321-00738152-00738487 um that but uh at first it was really
2W5xtODW5m8-03322-00738488-00738687 uh it was it was messy not on our end
2W5xtODW5m8-03323-00738688-00738814 but at the state end
2W5xtODW5m8-03324-00738815-00739070 because we did have individuals that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03325-00739071-00739166 were being released
2W5xtODW5m8-03326-00739167-00739375 we weren't notified that they they
2W5xtODW5m8-03327-00739376-00739543 thought maybe we're covet positive that
2W5xtODW5m8-03328-00739544-00739710 weren't and went back and forth it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03329-00739711-00739903 getting a little better
2W5xtODW5m8-03330-00739904-00740095 but i really think my staff they've
2W5xtODW5m8-03331-00740096-00740391 worked on weekends on the 4th of july
2W5xtODW5m8-03332-00740392-00740622 one of our challenging releases going to
2W5xtODW5m8-03333-00740623-00740862 to to valley medical center to
2W5xtODW5m8-03334-00740863-00741135 to connect uh with you know cdcr who was
2W5xtODW5m8-03335-00741136-00741351 dropped basically dropping them off
2W5xtODW5m8-03336-00741352-00741558 uh and that was up to us to figure out
2W5xtODW5m8-03337-00741559-00741783 housing transportation and so
2W5xtODW5m8-03338-00741784-00741983 my staff are just doing incredible work
2W5xtODW5m8-03339-00741984-00742151 uh to meet the needs of the these
2W5xtODW5m8-03340-00742152-00742214 individuals
2W5xtODW5m8-03341-00742215-00742535 who are coming out rapidly from cdcr
2W5xtODW5m8-03342-00742536-00742687 yeah i mean the state prison system has
2W5xtODW5m8-03343-00742688-00742903 done a spectacularly bad job in terms of
2W5xtODW5m8-03344-00742904-00743006 managing
2W5xtODW5m8-03345-00743007-00743265 the population in regards to covid and
2W5xtODW5m8-03346-00743266-00743399 [Music]
2W5xtODW5m8-03347-00743400-00743662 here you are uh responsible for taking
2W5xtODW5m8-03348-00743663-00743855 care of the problems that they've had
2W5xtODW5m8-03349-00743856-00744143 uh in terms of keeping um people safe
2W5xtODW5m8-03350-00744144-00744287 and coped-free
2W5xtODW5m8-03351-00744288-00744462 and now you have to do these rapid
2W5xtODW5m8-03352-00744463-00744622 turnarounds do
2W5xtODW5m8-03353-00744623-00744910 people coming back from staying prison
2W5xtODW5m8-03354-00744911-00745047 do you have a sense of the percentages
2W5xtODW5m8-03355-00745048-00745255 of those who have housing or don't have
2W5xtODW5m8-03356-00745256-00745366 housing
2W5xtODW5m8-03357-00745367-00745703 oh um are there families the percentage
2W5xtODW5m8-03358-00745704-00745831 i know there's quite a few that don't
2W5xtODW5m8-03359-00745832-00746070 have housing because we're using uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03360-00746071-00746335 a lot of hotel vouchers right now to any
2W5xtODW5m8-03361-00746336-00746535 anywhere that we can find for housing so
2W5xtODW5m8-03362-00746536-00746599 it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03363-00746600-00746799 might be you know even half of those
2W5xtODW5m8-03364-00746800-00746958 that that really housing or they thought
2W5xtODW5m8-03365-00746959-00747110 they had housing and then they come back
2W5xtODW5m8-03366-00747111-00747214 and find that
2W5xtODW5m8-03367-00747215-00747375 so and so you know it's not going to let
2W5xtODW5m8-03368-00747376-00747518 them live with them so there are a lot a
2W5xtODW5m8-03369-00747519-00747758 lot of the the motels that we have here
2W5xtODW5m8-03370-00747759-00747966 um and we're you know going and paying
2W5xtODW5m8-03371-00747967-00748079 for that
2W5xtODW5m8-03372-00748080-00748327 um so and then and moving around when
2W5xtODW5m8-03373-00748328-00748647 when they have to be moved and so on
2W5xtODW5m8-03374-00748648-00748839 well i appreciate the work that can the
2W5xtODW5m8-03375-00748840-00749055 community counts on probation and
2W5xtODW5m8-03376-00749056-00749270 in these areas and i appreciate you guys
2W5xtODW5m8-03377-00749271-00749447 stepping up to help out
2W5xtODW5m8-03378-00749448-00749687 um especially in this critical thing
2W5xtODW5m8-03379-00749688-00749814 because we have a low commitment right
2W5xtODW5m8-03380-00749815-00750062 to the state prison system and so
2W5xtODW5m8-03381-00750063-00750239 the people who go there need to be there
2W5xtODW5m8-03382-00750240-00750447 and when they come back
2W5xtODW5m8-03383-00750448-00750614 with not a lot of preparation that
2W5xtODW5m8-03384-00750615-00750783 creates a lot of challenges for

2W5xtODW5m8-03396-00752959-00753047 slowed the volume
2W5xtODW5m8-03397-00753048-00753262 down to allow for social distancing
2W5xtODW5m8-03398-00753263-00753358 because
2W5xtODW5m8-03399-00753359-00753575 pre uh covid you know last february you

2W5xtODW5m8-03439-00760592-00760758 such a great addition to our community
2W5xtODW5m8-03440-00760759-00760975 is still being used during this time of
2W5xtODW5m8-03441-00760976-00761303 uh the covert pandemic um you brought up
2W5xtODW5m8-03442-00761304-00761447 anger management training and i was
2W5xtODW5m8-03443-00761448-00761591 gonna ask you about domestic violence
2W5xtODW5m8-03444-00761592-00761751 training i know that because of
2W5xtODW5m8-03445-00761752-00761999 changes in state law uh proposed by
2W5xtODW5m8-03446-00762000-00762183 assemblymember mark stone that we get to
2W5xtODW5m8-03447-00762184-00762279 do
2W5xtODW5m8-03448-00762280-00762583 our domestic violence uh trainings
2W5xtODW5m8-03449-00762584-00762679 differently for
2W5xtODW5m8-03450-00762680-00763083 uh for offenders um how's that looking
2W5xtODW5m8-03451-00763084-00763231 in
2W5xtODW5m8-03452-00763232-00763510 it's it's uh well it's it's looking good
2W5xtODW5m8-03453-00763511-00763670 we have we've actually lost
2W5xtODW5m8-03454-00763671-00763822 unfortunately during the pandemic two
2W5xtODW5m8-03455-00763823-00763983 providers now um
2W5xtODW5m8-03456-00763984-00764303 as a result of um lower numbers uh that
2W5xtODW5m8-03457-00764304-00764470 their referrals are receiving but some
2W5xtODW5m8-03458-00764471-00764614 of that has to do because we have a new
2W5xtODW5m8-03459-00764615-00764687 program
2W5xtODW5m8-03460-00764688-00764887 that's online only streets to schools
2W5xtODW5m8-03461-00764888-00765095 which is doing a 16 week
2W5xtODW5m8-03462-00765096-00765375 26 week and 52 so those three models are
2W5xtODW5m8-03463-00765376-00765479 totally different
2W5xtODW5m8-03464-00765480-00765727 it used to be 52 weeks and that was it
2W5xtODW5m8-03465-00765728-00765910 yeah so now we're able to
2W5xtODW5m8-03466-00765911-00766095 so i think we had about 30 individuals
2W5xtODW5m8-03467-00766096-00766343 enrolled so we've lost some capacity
2W5xtODW5m8-03468-00766344-00766599 but now we have the online course going
2W5xtODW5m8-03469-00766600-00766727 but unfortunately we
2W5xtODW5m8-03470-00766728-00766991 we also lost the free class that was at
2W5xtODW5m8-03471-00766992-00767158 the service center
2W5xtODW5m8-03472-00767159-00767343 as a result of decreasing numbers of
2W5xtODW5m8-03473-00767344-00767518 program providers couldn't justify
2W5xtODW5m8-03474-00767519-00767575 having
2W5xtODW5m8-03475-00767576-00767783 you know full-time staff sure such low
2W5xtODW5m8-03476-00767784-00768014 numbers but we have a new model that we
2W5xtODW5m8-03477-00768015-00768158 that we're happy with so far because
2W5xtODW5m8-03478-00768159-00768431 it's online and it has the revised
2W5xtODW5m8-03479-00768432-00768631 curriculum and what does that cost
2W5xtODW5m8-03480-00768632-00768751 streets to school oh
2W5xtODW5m8-03481-00768752-00769031 you know um i'm sorry i don't know the
2W5xtODW5m8-03482-00769032-00769175 the cost to that
2W5xtODW5m8-03483-00769176-00769606 tell me later i'd appreciate that um the
2W5xtODW5m8-03484-00769607-00769814 i just have a couple more questions uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03485-00769815-00769991 the d.a was in here earlier talking
2W5xtODW5m8-03486-00769992-00770166 about the neighborhood courts program
2W5xtODW5m8-03487-00770167-00770487 a delay but but starting to take steps
2W5xtODW5m8-03488-00770488-00770847 in uh december um i'm wondering how that
2W5xtODW5m8-03489-00770848-00771039 looks like for probation and
2W5xtODW5m8-03490-00771040-00771222 i know you'll play a big role yeah we're
2W5xtODW5m8-03491-00771223-00771383 you know we're we're we're there to
2W5xtODW5m8-03492-00771384-00771439 support
2W5xtODW5m8-03493-00771440-00771639 uh you know the both the da's office and
2W5xtODW5m8-03494-00771640-00771791 the conflict resolution center
2W5xtODW5m8-03495-00771792-00772079 we're we're the lead in the grant pro 47
2W5xtODW5m8-03496-00772080-00772206 grant that brought in the funding for
2W5xtODW5m8-03497-00772207-00772303 that so
2W5xtODW5m8-03498-00772304-00772535 we're there you know to to provide
2W5xtODW5m8-03499-00772536-00772703 support to make this happen
2W5xtODW5m8-03500-00772704-00772943 um and and you know we're we'll we are
2W5xtODW5m8-03501-00772944-00773039 well aware of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03502-00773040-00773303 you know best practices and and that so
2W5xtODW5m8-03503-00773304-00773462 um so it's working with both with the
2W5xtODW5m8-03504-00773463-00773655 conflict resolution center they're
2W5xtODW5m8-03505-00773656-00773806 they're the ones that are funded from
2W5xtODW5m8-03506-00773807-00774006 prop 47 for a coordinator i heard you
2W5xtODW5m8-03507-00774007-00774087 asked uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03508-00774088-00774399 d.a that question so prop 47 is funding
2W5xtODW5m8-03509-00774400-00774622 conflict resolution center to coordinate
2W5xtODW5m8-03510-00774623-00774783 the program coordinator for the d.a
2W5xtODW5m8-03511-00774784-00775110 no it's not no crc and is it you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03512-00775111-00775447 uh we apply for grants now and uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03513-00775448-00775703 the you you get uh points for not
2W5xtODW5m8-03514-00775704-00775879 funding probation officers or any
2W5xtODW5m8-03515-00775880-00776103 you know unfortunately now so it's a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-03516-00776104-00776239 of the money that we get goes
2W5xtODW5m8-03517-00776240-00776455 it's good for the community but yeah
2W5xtODW5m8-03518-00776456-00776631 prop 47 for instance i think
2W5xtODW5m8-03519-00776632-00776879 67 percent of those dollars have gone to
2W5xtODW5m8-03520-00776880-00777143 the community-based agencies
2W5xtODW5m8-03521-00777144-00777343 the last thing i'll just ask you about
2W5xtODW5m8-03522-00777344-00777639 is uh this change in the djj
2W5xtODW5m8-03523-00777640-00777806 and what that's going to look like here
2W5xtODW5m8-03524-00777807-00777975 we we do have a low commitment rate to
2W5xtODW5m8-03525-00777976-00778183 the state system
2W5xtODW5m8-03526-00778184-00778399 but do you envision using juvenile hall
2W5xtODW5m8-03527-00778400-00778566 and
2W5xtODW5m8-03528-00778567-00778799 there's obviously capacity there we're
2W5xtODW5m8-03529-00778800-00778927 going to be doing this big
2W5xtODW5m8-03530-00778928-00779383 um infrastructure investment there
2W5xtODW5m8-03531-00779384-00779518 could that be a place yeah i think we
2W5xtODW5m8-03532-00779519-00779743 can we've had uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03533-00779744-00779910 over the last 10 years we've averaged
2W5xtODW5m8-03534-00779911-00780070 two commitments per year
2W5xtODW5m8-03535-00780071-00780214 and though the average length of those
2W5xtODW5m8-03536-00780215-00780455 commitments are about two years
2W5xtODW5m8-03537-00780456-00780662 and then looking at the number of youth
2W5xtODW5m8-03538-00780663-00780814 we have in the space and what the
2W5xtODW5m8-03539-00780815-00781039 upgrades that we're going to do we think
2W5xtODW5m8-03540-00781040-00781247 we can we can do that if we have
2W5xtODW5m8-03541-00781248-00781462 the resources i know the state has in
2W5xtODW5m8-03542-00781463-00781551 the in this
2W5xtODW5m8-03543-00781552-00781791 realignment has proposed a certain
2W5xtODW5m8-03544-00781792-00781903 amount of dollars that would be
2W5xtODW5m8-03545-00781904-00782039 allocated to us to
2W5xtODW5m8-03546-00782040-00782247 because we know we need you know a
2W5xtODW5m8-03547-00782248-00782375 different type of programming for
2W5xtODW5m8-03548-00782376-00782527 someone who's going to be staying there
2W5xtODW5m8-03549-00782528-00782758 somewhere for a longer time than usual
2W5xtODW5m8-03550-00782759-00783031 yeah it post uh secondary education
2W5xtODW5m8-03551-00783032-00783310 will be important so i think we can do
2W5xtODW5m8-03552-00783311-00783335 it
2W5xtODW5m8-03553-00783336-00783518 in the facility talk you know you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03554-00783519-00783695 really examining how we have
2W5xtODW5m8-03555-00783696-00783983 it set up we have an older facility we
2W5xtODW5m8-03556-00783984-00784087 don't have all these
2W5xtODW5m8-03557-00784088-00784310 different wings that we could reopen
2W5xtODW5m8-03558-00784311-00784422 like which
2W5xtODW5m8-03559-00784423-00784551 some counties you know built new
2W5xtODW5m8-03560-00784552-00784775 juvenile halls but they're empty now
2W5xtODW5m8-03561-00784776-00784983 uh we we still have our hull and um
2W5xtODW5m8-03562-00784984-00785118 which but it's linear
2W5xtODW5m8-03563-00785119-00785358 only two two wings but i think we could
2W5xtODW5m8-03564-00785359-00785503 do it i think we can make it work and i
2W5xtODW5m8-03565-00785504-00785606 know we have
2W5xtODW5m8-03566-00785607-00785879 uh great partners here that that will uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03567-00785880-00785935 help
2W5xtODW5m8-03568-00785936-00786206 guide us and don't we pay for when we uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03569-00786207-00786399 put you on the dj
2W5xtODW5m8-03570-00786400-00786751 we pay uh 24 000 uh for youth but the
2W5xtODW5m8-03571-00786752-00786822 rest is
2W5xtODW5m8-03572-00786823-00786975 funded by the state and they say it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03573-00786976-00787206 about a 250 000
2W5xtODW5m8-03574-00787207-00787422 cost per youth for per year for a
2W5xtODW5m8-03575-00787423-00787606 commitment and you expect that
2W5xtODW5m8-03576-00787607-00787751 that whatever they come up with that
2W5xtODW5m8-03577-00787752-00787918 they'll be money coming to the county
2W5xtODW5m8-03578-00787919-00788070 that's what they're determining how much
2W5xtODW5m8-03579-00788071-00788214 would come to the counties and who it
2W5xtODW5m8-03580-00788215-00788335 goes to
2W5xtODW5m8-03581-00788336-00788495 that's the big argument at the
2W5xtODW5m8-03582-00788496-00788703 legislature so the legislature's
2W5xtODW5m8-03583-00788704-00788958 has been listening to to a lot of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03584-00788959-00789175 the community advocates and families and
2W5xtODW5m8-03585-00789176-00789214 youth
2W5xtODW5m8-03586-00789215-00789551 saying you know the the money should go
2W5xtODW5m8-03587-00789552-00789791 entirely to the community and let us and
2W5xtODW5m8-03588-00789792-00789855 so
2W5xtODW5m8-03589-00789856-00790031 we're trying to find a balance we you
2W5xtODW5m8-03590-00790032-00790239 know we probation and uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03591-00790240-00790495 state needs needs oversight role and and
2W5xtODW5m8-03592-00790496-00790670 uh but we think we could do
2W5xtODW5m8-03593-00790671-00790855 um a good job we have the wrap around
2W5xtODW5m8-03594-00790856-00791062 program that's done a great job
2W5xtODW5m8-03595-00791063-00791247 that the the courts have relied on for
2W5xtODW5m8-03596-00791248-00791399 cases that maybe
2W5xtODW5m8-03597-00791400-00791614 might have gone to djj but we're able to
2W5xtODW5m8-03598-00791615-00791751 to work with them at home in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03599-00791752-00791847 community
2W5xtODW5m8-03600-00791848-00792031 um and done pretty pretty good so i
2W5xtODW5m8-03601-00792032-00792191 think those kind of programs
2W5xtODW5m8-03602-00792192-00792503 uh we need to ramp up as well yeah
2W5xtODW5m8-03603-00792504-00792655 well i appreciate the work i know that
2W5xtODW5m8-03604-00792656-00792814 the the loss of these uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03605-00792815-00793103 probation officers places us at slightly
2W5xtODW5m8-03606-00793104-00793255 greater risk because we're asking you to
2W5xtODW5m8-03607-00793256-00793455 take on more responsibility but
2W5xtODW5m8-03608-00793456-00793662 with less staff and it's something that
2W5xtODW5m8-03609-00793663-00793814 we may have to come back and take a look
2W5xtODW5m8-03610-00793815-00793879 at
2W5xtODW5m8-03611-00793880-00794183 um in the future to ensure that you have
2W5xtODW5m8-03612-00794184-00794406 the staffing necessary to be able to
2W5xtODW5m8-03613-00794407-00794655 to manage the responsibility that you
2W5xtODW5m8-03614-00794656-00794743 have because
2W5xtODW5m8-03615-00794744-00794927 this doesn't seem to be going away
2W5xtODW5m8-03616-00794928-00795095 anytime soon
2W5xtODW5m8-03617-00795096-00795231 and so we'll probably be keeping that
2W5xtODW5m8-03618-00795232-00795406 census down in the jail
2W5xtODW5m8-03619-00795407-00795655 and as a result the probation will be an
2W5xtODW5m8-03620-00795656-00795831 important part of that uh successful
2W5xtODW5m8-03621-00795832-00795903 public safety
2W5xtODW5m8-03622-00795904-00796103 thank you for recognizing that yeah
2W5xtODW5m8-03623-00796104-00796239 thank you
2W5xtODW5m8-03624-00796240-00796687 thank you uh supervisor mcpherson

2W5xtODW5m8-03626-00796936-00797103 going to ask have already been made
2W5xtODW5m8-03627-00797104-00797406 but i just want to uh really say
2W5xtODW5m8-03628-00797407-00797543 congratulations to the
2W5xtODW5m8-03629-00797544-00797695 probation department for its
2W5xtODW5m8-03630-00797696-00797918 professional efforts to reduce
2W5xtODW5m8-03631-00797919-00798175 recidivism and improve the overall
2W5xtODW5m8-03632-00798176-00798255 community uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03633-00798256-00798558 safety of santa cruz county uh you've
2W5xtODW5m8-03634-00798559-00798647 got
2W5xtODW5m8-03635-00798648-00798831 been very innovative for years and years
2W5xtODW5m8-03636-00798832-00799014 in the probation department
2W5xtODW5m8-03637-00799015-00799247 and uh you've got a gold award that you
2W5xtODW5m8-03638-00799248-00799414 mentioned is well deserved and i'm sure
2W5xtODW5m8-03639-00799415-00799487 you're going to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03640-00799488-00799631 stepping at the front of the line to get
2W5xtODW5m8-03641-00799632-00799870 another one or two in the near future so
2W5xtODW5m8-03642-00799871-00799991 uh my
2W5xtODW5m8-03643-00799992-00800214 i just was going to say congratulations
2W5xtODW5m8-03644-00800215-00800391 on all that you've accomplished
2W5xtODW5m8-03645-00800392-00800695 uh before and then staying with the
2W5xtODW5m8-03646-00800696-00800870 programs that we do have
2W5xtODW5m8-03647-00800871-00801143 in this very difficult time and i don't
2W5xtODW5m8-03648-00801144-00801191 know how
2W5xtODW5m8-03649-00801192-00801358 i think it's been asked about just in
2W5xtODW5m8-03650-00801359-00801527 general about specific
2W5xtODW5m8-03651-00801528-00801839 estimates uh based on workload
2W5xtODW5m8-03652-00801840-00802079 of your current officers um i guess
2W5xtODW5m8-03653-00802080-00802183 that's hard to
2W5xtODW5m8-03654-00802184-00802455 really put in place when uh orders from
2W5xtODW5m8-03655-00802456-00802679 the state are continually uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03656-00802680-00802839 really they're changing but do you have
2W5xtODW5m8-03657-00802840-00802999 any more specific estimates
2W5xtODW5m8-03658-00803000-00803158 based on the workload of your current
2W5xtODW5m8-03659-00803159-00803399 officers uh do you see a
2W5xtODW5m8-03660-00803400-00803662 10 20 increase in workload that they're
2W5xtODW5m8-03661-00803663-00803814 going to have to uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03662-00803815-00804206 oversee at this time percentage of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03663-00804207-00804487 you know the vacancies amounts to um ten
2W5xtODW5m8-03664-00804488-00804566 percent of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03665-00804567-00804887 the staffing uh and that coupled with um
2W5xtODW5m8-03666-00804888-00804991 you know folks just
2W5xtODW5m8-03667-00804992-00805166 not being able to come to work for a
2W5xtODW5m8-03668-00805167-00805287 variety of reasons has made it
2W5xtODW5m8-03669-00805288-00805391 challenging i think
2W5xtODW5m8-03670-00805392-00805647 one thing that maybe it's not always
2W5xtODW5m8-03671-00805648-00805791 recognized is that in addition to
2W5xtODW5m8-03672-00805792-00805895 supervision we
2W5xtODW5m8-03673-00805896-00806118 we provide support to the courts we do
2W5xtODW5m8-03674-00806119-00806270 poor coverage our officers are in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03675-00806271-00806406 three felony courts
2W5xtODW5m8-03676-00806407-00806639 also in juvenile court so we have to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03677-00806640-00806710 prepared
2W5xtODW5m8-03678-00806711-00806862 to be in those courts we're in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03679-00806863-00807022 specialty courts
2W5xtODW5m8-03680-00807023-00807287 um uh in the domestic violence court as
2W5xtODW5m8-03681-00807288-00807462 well as the behavioral health court so
2W5xtODW5m8-03682-00807463-00807695 that takes up a lot of staff time too
2W5xtODW5m8-03683-00807696-00807903 um so the courts really you know they
2W5xtODW5m8-03684-00807904-00808006 want us everywhere
2W5xtODW5m8-03685-00808007-00808206 they they love our officers for good
2W5xtODW5m8-03686-00808207-00808318 reasons because we have a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-03687-00808319-00808487 information on how the individuals are
2W5xtODW5m8-03688-00808488-00808551 doing
2W5xtODW5m8-03689-00808552-00808791 but we get pulled in a lot of directions
2W5xtODW5m8-03690-00808792-00808910 um and as
2W5xtODW5m8-03691-00808911-00809070 and they're relying us more during this
2W5xtODW5m8-03692-00809071-00809303 time so the workload that definitely
2W5xtODW5m8-03693-00809304-00809662 it's probably increased but minimally 10
2W5xtODW5m8-03694-00809663-00809999 if not 15 to 20 percent um so it's it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03695-00810000-00810247 a strain on my staff i i you know i hear
2W5xtODW5m8-03696-00810248-00810335 them
2W5xtODW5m8-03697-00810336-00810527 and i understand and i'm just hoping we
2W5xtODW5m8-03698-00810528-00810695 could you know that we come out of this
2W5xtODW5m8-03699-00810696-00810855 at some point and go back to where we
2W5xtODW5m8-03700-00810856-00810943 were
2W5xtODW5m8-03701-00810944-00811118 february where we were about to make
2W5xtODW5m8-03702-00811119-00811270 four job officers that we
2W5xtODW5m8-03703-00811271-00811551 we actually postponed that given our
2W5xtODW5m8-03704-00811552-00811855 situation
2W5xtODW5m8-03705-00811856-00812231 well thank you again ongoing uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03706-00812232-00812470 efforts um to make this a better place
2W5xtODW5m8-03707-00812471-00812647 and uh better opportunities for those
2W5xtODW5m8-03708-00812648-00812839 who need it the most at a young age
2W5xtODW5m8-03709-00812840-00813239 thank you very much welcome thank you
2W5xtODW5m8-03710-00813240-00813887 thank you uh supervisor community
2W5xtODW5m8-03711-00813888-00814222 thank you chief um i'll be brief i think
2W5xtODW5m8-03712-00814223-00814406 um it's clear that more and more
2W5xtODW5m8-03713-00814407-00814566 responsibilities being put on you and
2W5xtODW5m8-03714-00814567-00814758 your team
2W5xtODW5m8-03715-00814759-00815014 and the state resources don't seem to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03716-00815015-00815231 coming with that responsibility
2W5xtODW5m8-03717-00815232-00815527 i think um hopefully as our budget
2W5xtODW5m8-03718-00815528-00815631 improves
2W5xtODW5m8-03719-00815632-00815903 i hope you'll come back uh whether it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03720-00815904-00815975 mid-year
2W5xtODW5m8-03721-00815976-00816287 or in next year's budget cycle
2W5xtODW5m8-03722-00816288-00816647 and try to get um figure out
2W5xtODW5m8-03723-00816648-00816822 we got to develop a strategy to have
2W5xtODW5m8-03724-00816823-00817055 better oversight and reduce caseloads
2W5xtODW5m8-03725-00817056-00817127 because
2W5xtODW5m8-03726-00817128-00817399 we're gonna just have more people out in
2W5xtODW5m8-03727-00817400-00817566 the community and it's incumbent upon us
2W5xtODW5m8-03728-00817567-00817670 to make sure that
2W5xtODW5m8-03729-00817671-00817975 there's appropriate oversight um and
2W5xtODW5m8-03730-00817976-00818175 your case loads are manageable so
2W5xtODW5m8-03731-00818176-00818510 um i appreciate all that you're doing
2W5xtODW5m8-03732-00818511-00818687 uh with the minimal resources but i
2W5xtODW5m8-03733-00818688-00818822 don't think it's sustainable over the
2W5xtODW5m8-03734-00818823-00818895 long term
2W5xtODW5m8-03735-00818896-00819135 so um i look forward to having that
2W5xtODW5m8-03736-00819136-00819254 conversation
2W5xtODW5m8-03737-00819255-00819599 um as as things normalize a little bit
2W5xtODW5m8-03738-00819600-00819830 uh and hopefully our revenues uh come
2W5xtODW5m8-03739-00819831-00819999 back
2W5xtODW5m8-03740-00820000-00820350 thank you for for the support
2W5xtODW5m8-03741-00820351-00820695 thank you yeah uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03742-00820695-00821023 i have a little comment uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03743-00821024-00821383 i guess with uh the visiting at let's
2W5xtODW5m8-03744-00821384-00821542 say juvenile hall
2W5xtODW5m8-03745-00821543-00821783 uh the family can still meet in person
2W5xtODW5m8-03746-00821784-00821879 and
2W5xtODW5m8-03747-00821879-00822134 now physically no they cannot we've uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03748-00822135-00822358 uh have a waiver from the state in fact
2W5xtODW5m8-03749-00822359-00822542 almost every single county in california
2W5xtODW5m8-03750-00822543-00822670 has had a waiver since the
2W5xtODW5m8-03751-00822671-00822895 start of the pandemic uh just because
2W5xtODW5m8-03752-00822895-00823079 it's too much of a
2W5xtODW5m8-03753-00823079-00823334 of a risk you know to the health of the
2W5xtODW5m8-03754-00823335-00823430 you know children
2W5xtODW5m8-03755-00823431-00823630 youth and juvenile hall and course staff
2W5xtODW5m8-03756-00823631-00823734 so they
2W5xtODW5m8-03757-00823735-00823895 uh unfortunately it says something a
2W5xtODW5m8-03758-00823895-00824079 risk that we don't think would be the
2W5xtODW5m8-03759-00824079-00824262 right decision right now
2W5xtODW5m8-03760-00824263-00824462 um and so they can see them you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03761-00824463-00824566 video as much as
2W5xtODW5m8-03762-00824567-00824766 you know as much as we can do that video
2W5xtODW5m8-03763-00824767-00824934 phone calls we have devices that they
2W5xtODW5m8-03764-00824935-00825054 can do that but
2W5xtODW5m8-03765-00825055-00825230 the youth that have been in there have
2W5xtODW5m8-03766-00825231-00825391 not once they're in there
2W5xtODW5m8-03767-00825392-00825575 have not physically seen their their
2W5xtODW5m8-03768-00825576-00825750 their families or some of the service
2W5xtODW5m8-03769-00825751-00825919 providers so it's a tough
2W5xtODW5m8-03770-00825920-00826191 it's a tough it's a tough time but i
2W5xtODW5m8-03771-00826192-00826254 tell you what
2W5xtODW5m8-03772-00826255-00826430 you know the division of juvenile
2W5xtODW5m8-03773-00826431-00826638 justice state commitment facility
2W5xtODW5m8-03774-00826639-00826815 for a time there they suspended all
2W5xtODW5m8-03775-00826816-00827119 intakes and they had zero cases of covid
2W5xtODW5m8-03776-00827120-00827311 uh and just about a month ago they
2W5xtODW5m8-03777-00827312-00827503 started intakes again and now they have
2W5xtODW5m8-03778-00827504-00827807 as of yesterday 66 cases of covid
2W5xtODW5m8-03779-00827808-00828030 so we we're just not going to take that
2W5xtODW5m8-03780-00828031-00828166 risk at this time
2W5xtODW5m8-03781-00828167-00828430 but we understand the hardships on the
2W5xtODW5m8-03782-00828431-00828470 on
2W5xtODW5m8-03783-00828471-00828727 on the kids but it's uh life or i think
2W5xtODW5m8-03784-00828728-00828862 that's really rough
2W5xtODW5m8-03785-00828863-00829166 is there any uh counseling or somebody
2W5xtODW5m8-03786-00829167-00829511 uh you know that's helping out um
2W5xtODW5m8-03787-00829512-00829695 because they need that social yeah
2W5xtODW5m8-03788-00829695-00829887 telehealth and and remote
2W5xtODW5m8-03789-00829887-00830103 um things like that those supports are
2W5xtODW5m8-03790-00830104-00830279 definitely available and they need that
2W5xtODW5m8-03791-00830279-00830350 more and just
2W5xtODW5m8-03792-00830351-00830575 kind of you know what what we see is you
2W5xtODW5m8-03793-00830576-00830703 know the youth are worried about their
2W5xtODW5m8-03794-00830704-00830766 families
2W5xtODW5m8-03795-00830767-00830887 that's what they're most you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03796-00830887-00831062 worried not necessarily their their
2W5xtODW5m8-03797-00831063-00831150 well-being but
2W5xtODW5m8-03798-00831151-00831270 how are their families doing their
2W5xtODW5m8-03799-00831271-00831558 siblings and so on um and so as we know
2W5xtODW5m8-03800-00831559-00831591 they
2W5xtODW5m8-03801-00831592-00831775 already come from really vulnerable
2W5xtODW5m8-03802-00831776-00831903 places where housing
2W5xtODW5m8-03803-00831904-00832183 food and so on was already scarce and
2W5xtODW5m8-03804-00832184-00832223 now
2W5xtODW5m8-03805-00832224-00832558 um it's they're far more concerned today
2W5xtODW5m8-03806-00832559-00832799 than they were just a few months ago
2W5xtODW5m8-03807-00832800-00833119 uh so they they couldn't even the mom or
2W5xtODW5m8-03808-00833120-00833207 dad
2W5xtODW5m8-03809-00833208-00833503 or whoever guardian they couldn't come
2W5xtODW5m8-03810-00833504-00833615 down like we are
2W5xtODW5m8-03811-00833616-00833934 and talk to them not no they can't
2W5xtODW5m8-03812-00833935-00834150 they can't go into the facility and go
2W5xtODW5m8-03813-00834151-00834358 through through those doors
2W5xtODW5m8-03814-00834359-00834511 they couldn't but we're we're looking
2W5xtODW5m8-03815-00834512-00834679 for ways i think that's
2W5xtODW5m8-03816-00834679-00834870 that's coming up uh you know there's a
2W5xtODW5m8-03817-00834871-00835007 couple counties that have
2W5xtODW5m8-03818-00835008-00835199 that have that have started that or
2W5xtODW5m8-03819-00835200-00835383 begun we've been done exploring
2W5xtODW5m8-03820-00835384-00835607 how we would do that where where that
2W5xtODW5m8-03821-00835608-00835734 would occur
2W5xtODW5m8-03822-00835735-00835887 you know perhaps outside in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03823-00835887-00836111 courtyard you know an open space
2W5xtODW5m8-03824-00836112-00836366 um to do that so we're um but we're also
2W5xtODW5m8-03825-00836367-00836503 working with our other
2W5xtODW5m8-03826-00836504-00836791 other counties just to and and and
2W5xtODW5m8-03827-00836792-00836919 really determine right now the best
2W5xtODW5m8-03828-00836920-00837087 practice is not to do that and
2W5xtODW5m8-03829-00837087-00837262 and it's supported by the state that
2W5xtODW5m8-03830-00837263-00837454 regulates what we do
2W5xtODW5m8-03831-00837455-00837719 and you're following like state uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03832-00837720-00837799 protocol
2W5xtODW5m8-03833-00837800-00838023 absolutely the title 15 board of state
2W5xtODW5m8-03834-00838024-00838150 community corrections standards
2W5xtODW5m8-03835-00838151-00838534 it just seems like uh the punishment
2W5xtODW5m8-03836-00838535-00838607 enough
2W5xtODW5m8-03837-00838608-00838959 for being arrested for whatever
2W5xtODW5m8-03838-00838960-00839254 is being a juvenile hall and then to
2W5xtODW5m8-03839-00839256-00839591 then be excluded from the visiting is
2W5xtODW5m8-03840-00839592-00839991 is an added burden which is
2W5xtODW5m8-03841-00839992-00840159 very very tough and probably
2W5xtODW5m8-03842-00840160-00840375 psychologically uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03843-00840376-00840719 damaging maybe if we're not careful
2W5xtODW5m8-03844-00840720-00840934 i i agree and we're doing our best with
2W5xtODW5m8-03845-00840935-00841103 our behavioral health partners and
2W5xtODW5m8-03846-00841104-00841367 other folks to sure to to address those
2W5xtODW5m8-03847-00841368-00841487 issues
2W5xtODW5m8-03848-00841487-00841767 to the best we can and if uh mom or dad
2W5xtODW5m8-03849-00841768-00841967 brought down a box of cookies
2W5xtODW5m8-03850-00841968-00842303 uh they can't uh you can't i don't
2W5xtODW5m8-03851-00842304-00842375 believe we
2W5xtODW5m8-03852-00842376-00842551 were allowing that just because given
2W5xtODW5m8-03853-00842552-00842687 the risk of of
2W5xtODW5m8-03854-00842687-00842942 you know something contaminated or that
2W5xtODW5m8-03855-00842943-00843142 materials those kinds of things yeah so
2W5xtODW5m8-03856-00843143-00843246 there's a lot of
2W5xtODW5m8-03857-00843247-00843534 a lot of risks uh in involved to the you
2W5xtODW5m8-03858-00843535-00843623 know health and
2W5xtODW5m8-03859-00843624-00843879 you know we haven't had a um a covet
2W5xtODW5m8-03860-00843879-00843951 case yet
2W5xtODW5m8-03861-00843952-00844215 in our institution so that's pretty good
2W5xtODW5m8-03862-00844216-00844270 that's on
2W5xtODW5m8-03863-00844271-00844519 a lot of other facilities if you read uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03864-00844520-00844638 and around the
2W5xtODW5m8-03865-00844639-00844775 state that's already happened they've
2W5xtODW5m8-03866-00844776-00844927 had outbreaks we have not and that's
2W5xtODW5m8-03867-00844928-00845054 really because of our
2W5xtODW5m8-03868-00845056-00845262 our staff the leadership and our staff
2W5xtODW5m8-03869-00845264-00845446 taking all the precautions and
2W5xtODW5m8-03870-00845447-00845767 doing what we're doing well hopefully
2W5xtODW5m8-03871-00845768-00845807 that
2W5xtODW5m8-03872-00845808-00846079 uh you know changes with the state uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03873-00846079-00846199 because
2W5xtODW5m8-03874-00846200-00846519 yeah i think it's really tough uh the
2W5xtODW5m8-03875-00846520-00846783 only other thing i had was uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03876-00846784-00847083 prevention and and things like that uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03877-00847084-00847223 were
2W5xtODW5m8-03878-00847224-00847559 uh you know parks pretty much uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03879-00847560-00847830 the uh playgrounds and everything
2W5xtODW5m8-03880-00847831-00847870 they're
2W5xtODW5m8-03881-00847871-00848087 closed we're talking i'm talking about
2W5xtODW5m8-03882-00848087-00848367 mostly juvenile probation now
2W5xtODW5m8-03883-00848368-00848775 and uh i know in watsonville
2W5xtODW5m8-03884-00848776-00849062 uh you know they took down at some of
2W5xtODW5m8-03885-00849064-00849183 the city parks
2W5xtODW5m8-03886-00849184-00849383 well they closed off all the play uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03887-00849384-00849591 playground equipment
2W5xtODW5m8-03888-00849592-00849879 and at least you could walk around they
2W5xtODW5m8-03889-00849879-00850183 can run around on the grass area
2W5xtODW5m8-03890-00850184-00850527 but the kids really need to get out and
2W5xtODW5m8-03891-00850528-00850838 burn off some energy the thing that
2W5xtODW5m8-03892-00850839-00851134 concerns me is with the school grounds
2W5xtODW5m8-03893-00851135-00851430 what they've done is built fences all
2W5xtODW5m8-03894-00851431-00851607 around the schools
2W5xtODW5m8-03895-00851608-00851895 where the neighborhood kids used to be
2W5xtODW5m8-03896-00851895-00851959 able to go
2W5xtODW5m8-03897-00851960-00852399 and run around and shoot baskets and
2W5xtODW5m8-03898-00852400-00852575 whenever they wanted to play some
2W5xtODW5m8-03899-00852576-00852895 baseball or kickball or soccer
2W5xtODW5m8-03900-00852895-00853087 now there's a big fence with
2W5xtODW5m8-03901-00853087-00853319 everything's been locked up
2W5xtODW5m8-03902-00853320-00853575 not because of covet 19 it was happening
2W5xtODW5m8-03903-00853576-00853903 before about two years ago
2W5xtODW5m8-03904-00853904-00854199 so what happens is when the school is
2W5xtODW5m8-03905-00854200-00854311 closed
2W5xtODW5m8-03906-00854312-00854567 and maybe just go back four or five
2W5xtODW5m8-03907-00854568-00854719 years ago it never was
2W5xtODW5m8-03908-00854720-00855054 it was always open kids in the
2W5xtODW5m8-03909-00855056-00855287 neighborhood would go there right
2W5xtODW5m8-03910-00855287-00855559 so now when when the schools are closed
2W5xtODW5m8-03911-00855560-00855703 they're having to walk
2W5xtODW5m8-03912-00855704-00856123 across town to get to a city park or an
2W5xtODW5m8-03913-00856124-00856375 unincorporated uh
2W5xtODW5m8-03914-00856376-00856679 you know park and
2W5xtODW5m8-03915-00856679-00856895 make it's actually more dangerous for
2W5xtODW5m8-03916-00856895-00857030 them to walk
2W5xtODW5m8-03917-00857031-00857399 two miles instead of walking two blocks
2W5xtODW5m8-03918-00857400-00857719 so i i'd like to see us work with the
2W5xtODW5m8-03919-00857720-00857791 schools
2W5xtODW5m8-03920-00857792-00858079 and uh get them to open up at least on
2W5xtODW5m8-03921-00858079-00858183 the weekends
2W5xtODW5m8-03922-00858184-00858383 i can see during the you know the school
2W5xtODW5m8-03923-00858384-00858583 time and all that maybe
2W5xtODW5m8-03924-00858584-00858903 maybe not but uh after five o'clock or
2W5xtODW5m8-03925-00858904-00859207 when the kids aren't there uh just so we
2W5xtODW5m8-03926-00859208-00859303 have an outlet
2W5xtODW5m8-03927-00859304-00859534 we have some activity and recreation
2W5xtODW5m8-03928-00859535-00859662 going on
2W5xtODW5m8-03929-00859664-00859895 anyway we'll work on that from our end
2W5xtODW5m8-03930-00859895-00859991 but
2W5xtODW5m8-03931-00859992-00860183 i don't know do you agree with that yeah
2W5xtODW5m8-03932-00860184-00860351 well thank you for really expressing
2W5xtODW5m8-03933-00860352-00860470 your concerns about you know the
2W5xtODW5m8-03934-00860471-00860630 well-being of the kids
2W5xtODW5m8-03935-00860631-00860854 um um you know i have three young
2W5xtODW5m8-03936-00860856-00861070 children uh i run a soccer league in
2W5xtODW5m8-03937-00861071-00861246 aptos
2W5xtODW5m8-03938-00861247-00861430 it's it's we're not doing it and it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03939-00861431-00861654 been really increasingly difficult for i
2W5xtODW5m8-03940-00861656-00861854 know my own children and
2W5xtODW5m8-03941-00861856-00862087 and they're okay but imagine the
2W5xtODW5m8-03942-00862087-00862279 children that you're talking about
2W5xtODW5m8-03943-00862279-00862423 and some of those in south county that
2W5xtODW5m8-03944-00862424-00862567 really don't have access to a lot and
2W5xtODW5m8-03945-00862568-00862727 it's already limited so
2W5xtODW5m8-03946-00862728-00862919 um and we're seeing the the signs and
2W5xtODW5m8-03947-00862920-00863134 the struggles that the kids are having
2W5xtODW5m8-03948-00863135-00863367 we've seen it since since march you know
2W5xtODW5m8-03949-00863368-00863527 with shelter in place and
2W5xtODW5m8-03950-00863528-00863791 and so on so i i agree with you we to
2W5xtODW5m8-03951-00863792-00863934 for them to be able to
2W5xtODW5m8-03952-00863935-00864134 have some form of recreation fresh air

2W5xtODW5m8-03983-00870216-00870430 chair captain members of the board chief
2W5xtODW5m8-03984-00870431-00870583 geraldo
2W5xtODW5m8-03985-00870584-00871079 my name is jim heaney i'm the um
2W5xtODW5m8-03986-00871079-00871279 heck am i chief shop steward for seiu
2W5xtODW5m8-03987-00871279-00871423 local 521
2W5xtODW5m8-03988-00871424-00871759 and the county employees here um i've
2W5xtODW5m8-03989-00871760-00871911 come up to talk about an item that isn't
2W5xtODW5m8-03990-00871912-00872111 exactly a budget item but it's
2W5xtODW5m8-03991-00872112-00872327 directly budget related and that is the
2W5xtODW5m8-03992-00872328-00872583 furloughs we're currently experiencing
2W5xtODW5m8-03993-00872584-00872911 as the supervisor leopold the only
2W5xtODW5m8-03994-00872912-00873070 member of the board who was here
2W5xtODW5m8-03995-00873071-00873446 in the last major recession may recall
2W5xtODW5m8-03996-00873447-00873615 when we went through furloughs last time
2W5xtODW5m8-03997-00873616-00873870 the first year everybody did furloughs
2W5xtODW5m8-03998-00873871-00874070 and after that we learned from that and
2W5xtODW5m8-03999-00874071-00874175 what we learned that
2W5xtODW5m8-04000-00874176-00874342 furloughs don't necessarily save budget
2W5xtODW5m8-04001-00874343-00874687 money because it depends on an operation
2W5xtODW5m8-04002-00874687-00874887 as you know through the complexity of
2W5xtODW5m8-04003-00874887-00875030 this budget
2W5xtODW5m8-04004-00875031-00875167 when you tell a department they've got
2W5xtODW5m8-04005-00875168-00875430 to have a 20 cut in general fund
2W5xtODW5m8-04006-00875431-00875551 makes a big difference on how they're
2W5xtODW5m8-04007-00875552-00875751 funded for somebody who's 100 general
2W5xtODW5m8-04008-00875752-00875815 funded
2W5xtODW5m8-04009-00875816-00875991 that's a huge problem for somebody who's
2W5xtODW5m8-04010-00875992-00876230 80 fee based and only 20
2W5xtODW5m8-04011-00876231-00876391 general funded that's a much smaller
2W5xtODW5m8-04012-00876392-00876607 problem well furloughs kind of track
2W5xtODW5m8-04013-00876608-00876783 along the same line
2W5xtODW5m8-04014-00876784-00876934 and the problem with saying everybody
2W5xtODW5m8-04015-00876935-00877087 needs to take the same furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04016-00877087-00877391 in a bargaining unit it doesn't have
2W5xtODW5m8-04017-00877392-00877438 enough
2W5xtODW5m8-04018-00877439-00877695 consideration for the actual work what
2W5xtODW5m8-04019-00877695-00877883 i'm speaking specifically to is juvenile
2W5xtODW5m8-04020-00877884-00877999 hall
2W5xtODW5m8-04021-00878000-00878142 and what i'm speaking specific to and
2W5xtODW5m8-04022-00878143-00878279 what we learned from the last furlong we
2W5xtODW5m8-04023-00878279-00878415 eventually took juvenile hall out of the
2W5xtODW5m8-04024-00878416-00878527 furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04025-00878528-00878695 is that when our group supervisors and
2W5xtODW5m8-04026-00878695-00878903 other staff are furloughed
2W5xtODW5m8-04027-00878904-00879142 somebody has to cover that shift who
2W5xtODW5m8-04028-00879143-00879295 generally covers that shift in juvenile
2W5xtODW5m8-04029-00879295-00879615 hall it is extra help
2W5xtODW5m8-04030-00879616-00879830 covering a budgeted position with extra
2W5xtODW5m8-04031-00879831-00879927 help
2W5xtODW5m8-04032-00879928-00880191 is in our opinion a contract violation
2W5xtODW5m8-04033-00880192-00880415 but that's not our major concern
2W5xtODW5m8-04034-00880416-00880583 our major concern is it's not an
2W5xtODW5m8-04035-00880584-00880799 effective use of county money
2W5xtODW5m8-04036-00880800-00880919 because you're taking money out of an
2W5xtODW5m8-04037-00880920-00881103 employee's pocket and having to pay
2W5xtODW5m8-04038-00881104-00881223 someone else
2W5xtODW5m8-04039-00881224-00881367 the chief's other alternative is he
2W5xtODW5m8-04040-00881368-00881534 could cover it with overtime
2W5xtODW5m8-04041-00881535-00881879 with other you know permanent staff
2W5xtODW5m8-04042-00881879-00882079 that again is going to cost you more
2W5xtODW5m8-04043-00882079-00882230 money in your budget
2W5xtODW5m8-04044-00882231-00882495 so we will be re-entering conversation
2W5xtODW5m8-04045-00882495-00882591 with personnel
2W5xtODW5m8-04046-00882592-00882734 around the furlough when we made our
2W5xtODW5m8-04047-00882735-00882895 furlough agreement we we put in a
2W5xtODW5m8-04048-00882895-00883007 reopener agreement
2W5xtODW5m8-04049-00883008-00883159 and part of it was to see what happened
2W5xtODW5m8-04050-00883160-00883319 here in these budget hearings
2W5xtODW5m8-04051-00883320-00883438 we get through these budget hearings
2W5xtODW5m8-04052-00883439-00883551 we're going to be meeting with personnel
2W5xtODW5m8-04053-00883552-00883630 again
2W5xtODW5m8-04054-00883631-00883799 chief we ask you for your support in
2W5xtODW5m8-04055-00883800-00883959 taking those folks out of furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04056-00883960-00884175 we ask you for the data to show that
2W5xtODW5m8-04057-00884176-00884351 you're actually spending more money
2W5xtODW5m8-04058-00884352-00884534 during furlough having those staff
2W5xtODW5m8-04059-00884535-00884719 members further than not furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04060-00884720-00884838 so i thank you for your time for
2W5xtODW5m8-04061-00884839-00885046 listening you know we are
2W5xtODW5m8-04062-00885047-00885351 committed to working together to having
2W5xtODW5m8-04063-00885352-00885470 a smart furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04064-00885471-00885679 that saves the county money for those
2W5xtODW5m8-04065-00885679-00885862 that don't save the county's money
2W5xtODW5m8-04066-00885864-00886423 are ridiculous thank you thank you uh
2W5xtODW5m8-04067-00886424-00886519 anyone else

2W5xtODW5m8-04098-00894176-00894383 the case so the chambers will be open
2W5xtODW5m8-04099-00894384-00894662 for people to come in testify in person

2W5xtODW5m8-04156-00911920-00912023 with my brief
2W5xtODW5m8-04157-00912024-00912246 presentation i already gave this
2W5xtODW5m8-04158-00912247-00912375 presentation on monday
2W5xtODW5m8-04159-00912376-00912734 so i'll make it much shorter
2W5xtODW5m8-04160-00912735-00913015 this is budget hearings that are taking
2W5xtODW5m8-04161-00913016-00913103 place from
2W5xtODW5m8-04162-00913104-00913438 august 10th through 14th that are
2W5xtODW5m8-04163-00913439-00913670 revising the budget we approved on june
2W5xtODW5m8-04164-00913671-00913799 30th
2W5xtODW5m8-04165-00913800-00914070 and the the revisions are due to take
2W5xtODW5m8-04166-00914071-00914327 account of the revenue losses
2W5xtODW5m8-04167-00914328-00914527 and other impacts we have had due to the
2W5xtODW5m8-04168-00914528-00914670 kovid 19
2W5xtODW5m8-04169-00914671-00915111 pandemic in 2019
2W5xtODW5m8-04170-00915112-00915446 20 we ended up seeing a loss
2W5xtODW5m8-04171-00915447-00915823 of 12.4 million dollars now originally
2W5xtODW5m8-04172-00915824-00915983 we had projected a loss
2W5xtODW5m8-04173-00915984-00916279 of up to 20 million so it was better
2W5xtODW5m8-04174-00916279-00916567 than we had feared but it was still bad
2W5xtODW5m8-04175-00916568-00916823 and we solved that budget problem both
2W5xtODW5m8-04176-00916824-00916895 from using
2W5xtODW5m8-04177-00916895-00917199 fund balance through some savings we
2W5xtODW5m8-04178-00917200-00917487 achieved through um freezing of
2W5xtODW5m8-04179-00917487-00917638 positions
2W5xtODW5m8-04180-00917639-00917903 and then we're also going to use 4.5
2W5xtODW5m8-04181-00917904-00918215 million dollars of reserves
2W5xtODW5m8-04182-00918216-00918407 now in the current fiscal year that's
2W5xtODW5m8-04183-00918408-00918654 fiscal year 2021
2W5xtODW5m8-04184-00918656-00919030 we are estimating a loss of 23.1 million
2W5xtODW5m8-04185-00919031-00919167 dollars
2W5xtODW5m8-04186-00919168-00919423 this is less than we had feared again we
2W5xtODW5m8-04187-00919424-00919503 had thought
2W5xtODW5m8-04188-00919504-00919807 we may see losses as big as 40 million
2W5xtODW5m8-04189-00919808-00919951 dollars
2W5xtODW5m8-04190-00919952-00920183 and what we in fact are projecting now
2W5xtODW5m8-04191-00920184-00920503 is about a 23.1 million dollar loss
2W5xtODW5m8-04192-00920504-00920759 now again this is better than what we
2W5xtODW5m8-04193-00920760-00920942 projected originally but it's still
2W5xtODW5m8-04194-00920943-00921283 um it's still a bad and still very
2W5xtODW5m8-04195-00921284-00921430 severe and so
2W5xtODW5m8-04196-00921431-00921934 to solve that budget problem the deficit
2W5xtODW5m8-04197-00921935-00922159 we have asked our employees and they
2W5xtODW5m8-04198-00922160-00922327 have
2W5xtODW5m8-04199-00922328-00922623 been very helpful in agreeing to
2W5xtODW5m8-04200-00922624-00922734 furloughs
2W5xtODW5m8-04201-00922735-00922942 that range from five percent to ten
2W5xtODW5m8-04202-00922943-00923062 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-04203-00923064-00923230 with the great majority of our employees
2W5xtODW5m8-04204-00923231-00923503 taking seven and a half percent
2W5xtODW5m8-04205-00923504-00923646 and our department heads and other
2W5xtODW5m8-04206-00923647-00923815 appointed officials including the board
2W5xtODW5m8-04207-00923816-00924046 taking a ten percent furlough
2W5xtODW5m8-04208-00924047-00924359 we're achieving 11.4 million dollars of
2W5xtODW5m8-04209-00924360-00924719 savings due to those furloughs
2W5xtODW5m8-04210-00924720-00925038 furthermore we are uh departments
2W5xtODW5m8-04211-00925039-00925446 um have recommended 12.6 million dollars
2W5xtODW5m8-04212-00925447-00925846 in cuts and those department reductions
2W5xtODW5m8-04213-00925847-00925895 are
2W5xtODW5m8-04214-00925895-00926303 in all areas of the county
2W5xtODW5m8-04215-00926304-00926599 and in particular some of our public
2W5xtODW5m8-04216-00926600-00926823 safety programs
2W5xtODW5m8-04217-00926824-00927167 some of our general government programs
2W5xtODW5m8-04218-00927168-00927638 have all been impacted by this
2W5xtODW5m8-04219-00927639-00927975 nevertheless with those cuts
2W5xtODW5m8-04220-00927976-00928199 we will be able to achieve a balanced
2W5xtODW5m8-04221-00928200-00928279 budget
2W5xtODW5m8-04222-00928279-00928670 assuming that we also use about 9.7
2W5xtODW5m8-04223-00928671-00928879 million dollars of reserves
2W5xtODW5m8-04224-00928879-00929238 in the current fiscal year
2W5xtODW5m8-04225-00929239-00929615 so altogether we will be using 14.2
2W5xtODW5m8-04226-00929616-00929934 million dollars of reserves
2W5xtODW5m8-04227-00929935-00930215 and that is part of the good news in
2W5xtODW5m8-04228-00930216-00930495 that we entered this crisis
2W5xtODW5m8-04229-00930495-00930751 in a very strong financial position due
2W5xtODW5m8-04230-00930752-00930830 to strong
2W5xtODW5m8-04231-00930831-00931151 and conservative fiscal management
2W5xtODW5m8-04232-00931152-00931407 by our board we have been able over the
2W5xtODW5m8-04233-00931408-00931495 last decade
2W5xtODW5m8-04234-00931495-00931791 to triple our reserves to 56 million
2W5xtODW5m8-04235-00931792-00931967 dollars
2W5xtODW5m8-04236-00931968-00932254 10 percent of our revenues we are
2W5xtODW5m8-04237-00932256-00932446 proposing to use between
2W5xtODW5m8-04238-00932447-00932607 last fiscal year and this fiscal year
2W5xtODW5m8-04239-00932608-00932838 14.2 million
2W5xtODW5m8-04240-00932839-00933015 that will bring us to about seven and a
2W5xtODW5m8-04241-00933016-00933270 half percent reserves
2W5xtODW5m8-04242-00933271-00933615 down from the 10 percent
2W5xtODW5m8-04243-00933616-00933934 and that will allow us to hopefully
2W5xtODW5m8-04244-00933935-00934111 write out this fiscal year
2W5xtODW5m8-04245-00934112-00934399 in time for the economy hopefully to
2W5xtODW5m8-04246-00934400-00934751 improve by the following year
2W5xtODW5m8-04247-00934752-00934927 so there's a lot of uncertainties a lot
2W5xtODW5m8-04248-00934928-00935087 of unknowns
2W5xtODW5m8-04249-00935087-00935327 we have received 28 million dollars
2W5xtODW5m8-04250-00935328-00935407 approximately
2W5xtODW5m8-04251-00935408-00935727 of federal funds for the cares act
2W5xtODW5m8-04252-00935728-00935942 we have proposed a budget to the board
2W5xtODW5m8-04253-00935943-00936151 of that the great majority of that being
2W5xtODW5m8-04254-00936152-00936238 spent
2W5xtODW5m8-04255-00936239-00936415 recommended to be being spent on our
2W5xtODW5m8-04256-00936416-00936783 public health response such as testing
2W5xtODW5m8-04257-00936784-00937151 isolation and quarantine and also
2W5xtODW5m8-04258-00937152-00937367 we're also having a fair amount of that
2W5xtODW5m8-04259-00937368-00937630 money being recommended to be spent
2W5xtODW5m8-04260-00937631-00937879 on our response to those help those
2W5xtODW5m8-04261-00937879-00938023 experiencing homeless remain
2W5xtODW5m8-04262-00938024-00938383 safe and protected during this time
2W5xtODW5m8-04263-00938384-00938542 so that is another thing that the board
2W5xtODW5m8-04264-00938543-00938734 will be able to consider unfortunately
2W5xtODW5m8-04265-00938735-00938975 we are not able to use those funds
2W5xtODW5m8-04266-00938976-00939295 to backfill any of our lost revenues
2W5xtODW5m8-04267-00939295-00939583 so it's a difficult year we pres we
2W5xtODW5m8-04268-00939584-00939742 presented to you a balanced budget with
2W5xtODW5m8-04269-00939743-00939903 some very difficult decisions i know

2W5xtODW5m8-04337-00955495-00955623 lose any more and if there's anything
2W5xtODW5m8-04338-00955624-00955830 that can be given to them
2W5xtODW5m8-04339-00955831-00955967 would help and i'd hate to see them

2jP1lfUO-ig-00023-00008757-00009682 it away transfer power I keep recovered
2jP1lfUO-ig-00024-00009683-00009883 and therefore this time we'll reach for
2jP1lfUO-ig-00025-00009884-00010468 an early cards it's him via boat to

2jP1lfUO-ig-00037-00014235-00015172 a better looking delivery the goal was
2jP1lfUO-ig-00038-00015174-00015572 gaping captain just unable to make
2jP1lfUO-ig-00039-00015572-00015809 contact and clamped him just on the edge
2jP1lfUO-ig-00040-00015810-00015988 of there and make sure he fell inside
2jP1lfUO-ig-00041-00015990-00016294 and then the couple of spills my furry I
2jP1lfUO-ig-00042-00016296-00016573 don't think
2jP1lfUO-ig-00043-00016574-00016953 in the near post danger not yet cleared
2jP1lfUO-ig-00044-00016954-00017197 the boy he was on hit low into
2jP1lfUO-ig-00045-00017198-00017428 communities in possession saw the run
2jP1lfUO-ig-00046-00017429-00017866 down the center
2jP1lfUO-ig-00047-00017867-00018519 a team with the delivery Heather down
2jP1lfUO-ig-00048-00018520-00018992 think either off target
2jP1lfUO-ig-00049-00018993-00019185 nice idea
2jP1lfUO-ig-00050-00019186-00019404 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00051-00019405-00019584 looking for hacked and again who's moved
2jP1lfUO-ig-00052-00019585-00019905 forward down this or Latino tried to go
2jP1lfUO-ig-00053-00019906-00020025 it I don't try to go for joy it's a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00054-00020026-00020597 nicely weighted ball in Amman on
2jP1lfUO-ig-00055-00020598-00020953 listen India's delivery
2jP1lfUO-ig-00056-00020954-00021586 like wide to starting to for domingus to
2jP1lfUO-ig-00057-00021587-00021952 swing this ball forward cells harmlessly
2jP1lfUO-ig-00058-00021953-00022418 over Bob when it is
2jP1lfUO-ig-00059-00022419-00022769 Merlin's ball forwards heavy stuff from
2jP1lfUO-ig-00060-00022770-00023009 Paraguay as they try to find gaps and
2jP1lfUO-ig-00061-00023010-00023486 they do so made us just to lob this one
2jP1lfUO-ig-00062-00023487-00023926 for the flag and did the flight come up
2jP1lfUO-ig-00063-00023927-00024188 until it was who hit it with some force
2jP1lfUO-ig-00064-00024189-00024530 stayed on some weight since then and it
2jP1lfUO-ig-00065-00024531-00024698 was he picked it up while those who shot
2jP1lfUO-ig-00066-00024699-00025176 was charged down and they ricochet
2jP1lfUO-ig-00067-00025177-00025435 [Music]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00068-00025436-00025789 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00069-00025789-00026068 now he has space to maneuver into has a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00070-00026069-00026730 girl or plenty of power second time
2jP1lfUO-ig-00071-00026731-00026904 it's spelled this through cassock and
2jP1lfUO-ig-00072-00026905-00027042 they find a way through pregnant girl
2jP1lfUO-ig-00073-00027043-00027189 just said I'd need to weigh down to then
2jP1lfUO-ig-00074-00027189-00027342 the difference here between Paraguay
2jP1lfUO-ig-00075-00027343-00027891 Encarta m1 has been
2jP1lfUO-ig-00076-00027892-00028288 in stir by the same scoreline to harass
2jP1lfUO-ig-00077-00028289-00028873 Brazil in a friendly good movement off
2jP1lfUO-ig-00078-00028874-00028964 the ball
2jP1lfUO-ig-00079-00028966-00029289 Zara's with the lay off until support
2jP1lfUO-ig-00080-00029291-00029868 arriving a shooting chance is turned in
2jP1lfUO-ig-00081-00029869-00030232 strong run down the center almir on it
2jP1lfUO-ig-00082-00030233-00030700 was and as they did in the first half
2jP1lfUO-ig-00083-00030701-00031012 Paraguay striking very very quickly in
2jP1lfUO-ig-00084-00031013-00031789 the second
2jP1lfUO-ig-00085-00031791-00032267 I can do the match got away from his
2jP1lfUO-ig-00086-00032268-00032438 markers no one picked him up but it's
2jP1lfUO-ig-00087-00032439-00032812 his run that made all the difference
2jP1lfUO-ig-00088-00032813-00033034 things to be learned already
2jP1lfUO-ig-00089-00033035-00033213 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00090-00033214-00033233 [Music]

2jP1lfUO-ig-00092-00034171-00034487 can we get a finish now ii couldn't
2jP1lfUO-ig-00093-00034488-00034626 control the first time to our skin then
2jP1lfUO-ig-00094-00034627-00034799 gave it away straight to bob winner
2jP1lfUO-ig-00095-00034800-00035149 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00096-00035150-00035576 and then I feed
2jP1lfUO-ig-00097-00035577-00036041 not this time an absolute killer strike
2jP1lfUO-ig-00098-00036042-00036465 Gonzales it was a long way out a shortly
2jP1lfUO-ig-00099-00036466-00037796 this one will stand
2jP1lfUO-ig-00100-00037797-00038070 with power and precision by the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00101-00038071-00038277 substitute which is becoming a bit of a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00102-00038278-00038523 theme now in the copper meriting the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00103-00038524-00038916 agile very speedy the Newcastle man it's
2jP1lfUO-ig-00104-00038917-00039307 been an at work those are down the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00105-00039308-00039935 center the ball never reached him
2jP1lfUO-ig-00106-00039936-00040186 have this one wraps up what were
2jP1lfUO-ig-00107-00040187-00040946 required to with her Sam
2jP1lfUO-ig-00108-00040947-00041216 who knows in the curling efforts and a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00109-00041217-00041708 wonderful strike hit it so well a crisp
2jP1lfUO-ig-00110-00041709-00042152 clean finish the lighten of the Moroccan
2jP1lfUO-ig-00111-00042153-00042659 are wonderful killed shocked and cats
2jP1lfUO-ig-00112-00042660-00042863 her back in business
2jP1lfUO-ig-00113-00042864-00043286 there's it was stretching couldn't quite
2jP1lfUO-ig-00114-00043287-00043633 her back in business
2jP1lfUO-ig-00115-00043634-00043883 dipping up from kookie gave it away in a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00116-00043884-00044096 dangerous position those are just a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00117-00044097-00044609 flick this ball forwards was awesome
2jP1lfUO-ig-00118-00044610-00045055 ended with a delivery but hey loss
2jP1lfUO-ig-00119-00045056-00045662 smooching born inside the area he
2jP1lfUO-ig-00120-00045663-00045899 penalized for the challenge and was room
2jP1lfUO-ig-00121-00045900-00046088 to maneuver into but just doubted that
2jP1lfUO-ig-00122-00046089-00046326 fraction of a second too long
2jP1lfUO-ig-00123-00046327-00046757 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00124-00046758-00047291 ball forwards and Moses ball it was now
2jP1lfUO-ig-00125-00047292-00047747 kookie went down that rather easily the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00126-00047748-00047933 weather marches are ways one to once
2jP1lfUO-ig-00127-00047934-00048143 again Alfie board a percentage
2jP1lfUO-ig-00128-00048144-00048428 transferred a second into the back of
2jP1lfUO-ig-00129-00048429-00048935 the legs Cooky's goal cat o troll level
2jP1lfUO-ig-00130-00048936-00049205 they took it down the center they pick
2jP1lfUO-ig-00131-00049206-00049529 their way through the para boy defense
2jP1lfUO-ig-00132-00049530-00049856 crumbled and it's all level in the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00133-00049857-00050330 Estadio Moroccan are a nicely work nice
2jP1lfUO-ig-00134-00050331-00050531 one twos
2jP1lfUO-ig-00135-00050532-00050823 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00136-00050824-00051117 compart beaten watched it hang in the
2jP1lfUO-ig-00137-00051118-00051407 air and had it already crossed the line
2jP1lfUO-ig-00138-00051408-00051887 I don't think so
2jP1lfUO-ig-00139-00051888-00052527 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00140-00052528-00052937 and Sam tried to make it over the top
2jP1lfUO-ig-00141-00052938-00053415 then we kill and suddenly the free kicks
2jP1lfUO-ig-00142-00053416-00053717 are mounting up here in the map though
2jP1lfUO-ig-00143-00053719-00054288 he got his cross in solace to shirts to
2jP1lfUO-ig-00144-00054289-00054432 Wayne Ford the ball though evade it
2jP1lfUO-ig-00145-00054433-00054767 Stata toots have had a habit of making
2jP1lfUO-ig-00146-00054769-00055023 an impact so far miss copper America
2jP1lfUO-ig-00147-00055024-00055564 [Applause]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00148-00055565-00055987 and enormous in his sight Rickman into
2jP1lfUO-ig-00149-00055988-00056278 attack and stopped in his tracks by
2jP1lfUO-ig-00150-00056279-00056678 Pedro Miguel
2jP1lfUO-ig-00151-00056679-00057265 Rosie saw the run strong and thief
2jP1lfUO-ig-00152-00057266-00057551 looking for the return stumbles inside
2jP1lfUO-ig-00153-00057552-00058114 the area
2jP1lfUO-ig-00154-00058115-00058254 [Music]
2jP1lfUO-ig-00155-00058254-00058505 I'll mosey just a bit to slap at that
2jP1lfUO-ig-00156-00058507-00058691 ball forward when his side were in a
2jP1lfUO-ig-00157-00058692-00059166 very good position there my faith down
2jP1lfUO-ig-00158-00059166-00059400 the center I were leading by two goals
2jP1lfUO-ig-00159-00059401-00059725 to nil quatre came back strongly find
2jP1lfUO-ig-00160-00059726-00060092 trailing by two to get a point against
2jP1lfUO-ig-00161-00060094-00060982 Paraguay in group
2jP1lfUO-ig-00162-00060983-00061189 you
2kRMrtHYkbo-00000-00000128-00000262 all right in this video i'm going to be
2kRMrtHYkbo-00001-00000263-00000503 talking more about numpy arrays
2kRMrtHYkbo-00002-00000504-00000751 and uh and so far i've just been showing
2kRMrtHYkbo-00003-00000752-00000935 a bunch of one-dimensional numpy's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00004-00000936-00001087 arrays which are kind of similar to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00005-00001088-00001319 lists and i may be looking at
2kRMrtHYkbo-00006-00001320-00001495 you know what if we have two-dimensional
2kRMrtHYkbo-00007-00001496-00001671 numpy arrays or three-dimensional numpy
2kRMrtHYkbo-00008-00001672-00001775 arrays
2kRMrtHYkbo-00009-00001776-00001951 and what are some practical use cases
2kRMrtHYkbo-00010-00001952-00002126 for that and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00011-00002127-00002263 so maybe i'll just start off by giving
2kRMrtHYkbo-00012-00002264-00002439 an example of a two-dimensional numpy
2kRMrtHYkbo-00013-00002440-00002587 array i can say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00014-00002588-00002895 np.array and uh
2kRMrtHYkbo-00015-00002896-00003055 and what we've been doing so far is we
2kRMrtHYkbo-00016-00003056-00003254 might just pass on some values like one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00017-00003255-00003303 two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00018-00003304-00003719 three um if i want to have uh
2kRMrtHYkbo-00019-00003720-00003927 let me just put this in a variable here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00020-00003928-00004070 because i have that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00021-00004071-00004283 if i if i say well what is the length of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00022-00004284-00004463 a that's three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00023-00004464-00004735 no surprise there um kind of a very
2kRMrtHYkbo-00024-00004736-00004919 similar thing is i could say a dot
2kRMrtHYkbo-00025-00004920-00005311 shape and when i see this it's telling
2kRMrtHYkbo-00026-00005312-00005535 me two things it's telling me
2kRMrtHYkbo-00027-00005536-00005735 that well it's giving me this tuple
2kRMrtHYkbo-00028-00005736-00005886 right and there's only one number in the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00029-00005887-00005975 tuple
2kRMrtHYkbo-00030-00005976-00006134 and so that means that this is a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00031-00006135-00006279 one-dimensional array
2kRMrtHYkbo-00032-00006280-00006534 that seems correct and there are three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00033-00006536-00006759 entries along that dimension
2kRMrtHYkbo-00034-00006759-00007031 so let me create another numpy array i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00035-00007031-00007151 going to say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00036-00007152-00007470 b equals numpy dot array and i have the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00037-00007472-00007567 same thing one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00038-00007568-00007823 two three and to make it two dimensional
2kRMrtHYkbo-00039-00007823-00007934 i'm gonna have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00040-00007936-00008278 um basically a list of less so four
2kRMrtHYkbo-00041-00008279-00008567 five six and peek at that it's almost
2kRMrtHYkbo-00042-00008568-00008655 like a table
2kRMrtHYkbo-00043-00008656-00008927 right and in this case there's a huge
2kRMrtHYkbo-00044-00008928-00009078 difference between looking at the length
2kRMrtHYkbo-00045-00009079-00009231 of it
2kRMrtHYkbo-00046-00009232-00009367 which when i do the length of it it's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00047-00009368-00009599 really just kind of treating a lot like
2kRMrtHYkbo-00048-00009600-00009742 if i took the length of a list of lists
2kRMrtHYkbo-00049-00009743-00009895 right i mean it's counting how many rows
2kRMrtHYkbo-00050-00009896-00010006 i have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00051-00010007-00010310 whereas now b dot shape
2kRMrtHYkbo-00052-00010311-00010487 is very informative right i can see it's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00053-00010488-00010631 a two dimensional
2kRMrtHYkbo-00054-00010632-00010831 um array because there's two numbers
2kRMrtHYkbo-00055-00010832-00011087 here and i can see the size of those two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00056-00011088-00011287 dimensions are two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00057-00011288-00011599 and three right that's a that's a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00058-00011600-00011903 um a matrix right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00059-00011904-00012167 and um and so there are some other
2kRMrtHYkbo-00060-00012168-00012342 things i can do here i can actually
2kRMrtHYkbo-00061-00012343-00012683 change the shape of these things so for
2kRMrtHYkbo-00062-00012684-00012815 example um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00063-00012816-00013079 here i have b if i wanted to i could say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00064-00013080-00013183 reshape
2kRMrtHYkbo-00065-00013184-00013407 um currently the dimensions are i have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00066-00013408-00013630 two rows and three columns
2kRMrtHYkbo-00067-00013631-00013830 if i wanted to i could reshape that i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00068-00013831-00013983 could say i want three rows and two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00069-00013984-00014166 columns and it would be
2kRMrtHYkbo-00070-00014168-00014471 just like this um i could also if i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00071-00014472-00014694 wanted to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00072-00014695-00014903 um i could change the number of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00073-00014904-00015063 dimensions if i would like so i could
2kRMrtHYkbo-00074-00015063-00015255 say something like six
2kRMrtHYkbo-00075-00015256-00015422 and now you can see it flattens it all
2kRMrtHYkbo-00076-00015423-00015735 down just like that it's one dimensional
2kRMrtHYkbo-00077-00015736-00016127 um with six entries in it um now
2kRMrtHYkbo-00078-00016128-00016263 there are some shapes that are not going
2kRMrtHYkbo-00079-00016263-00016455 to work so for example if i go back to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00080-00016456-00016550 this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00081-00016551-00016815 if i want to get like um you know three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00082-00016816-00016919 by three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00083-00016920-00017199 no go right i only have six items i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00084-00017200-00017335 don't have nine items
2kRMrtHYkbo-00085-00017336-00017583 so that's no good so so really after
2kRMrtHYkbo-00086-00017584-00017783 i've specified most of these items
2kRMrtHYkbo-00087-00017784-00017919 some of them are kind of constrained
2kRMrtHYkbo-00088-00017920-00018191 right so if i say negative one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00089-00018192-00018391 what this means is i'm telling python or
2kRMrtHYkbo-00090-00018392-00018583 i guess numpy specifically
2kRMrtHYkbo-00091-00018584-00018775 you know figure out what it should be
2kRMrtHYkbo-00092-00018776-00018975 you know you have six items
2kRMrtHYkbo-00093-00018976-00019255 i want three rows so do the math i guess
2kRMrtHYkbo-00094-00019256-00019279 i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00095-00019280-00019671 should have two right and for
2kRMrtHYkbo-00096-00019672-00020039 two columns is what it'll do and there
2kRMrtHYkbo-00097-00020040-00020127 we go
2kRMrtHYkbo-00098-00020128-00020279 and so like one thing you're gonna see a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00099-00020280-00020463 lot is i might do this i might say b
2kRMrtHYkbo-00100-00020464-00020750 dot reshape and instead of saying six i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00101-00020751-00021047 might just say negative one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00102-00021048-00021207 basically i'm saying like hey grab all
2kRMrtHYkbo-00103-00021208-00021422 the values of this matrix
2kRMrtHYkbo-00104-00021423-00021567 and just put them along this one big
2kRMrtHYkbo-00105-00021568-00021750 dimension basically i want like a last
2kRMrtHYkbo-00106-00021751-00022030 right and uh however long that needs to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00107-00022031-00022119 be
2kRMrtHYkbo-00108-00022120-00022439 uh please do that numpy
2kRMrtHYkbo-00109-00022440-00022607 um you're sometimes trying to see these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00110-00022608-00022775 things used in combination
2kRMrtHYkbo-00111-00022776-00022927 uh with some of these other functions
2kRMrtHYkbo-00112-00022928-00023086 we've seen so for example
2kRMrtHYkbo-00113-00023087-00023350 we saw uh ones before i i could do like
2kRMrtHYkbo-00114-00023351-00023558 81s if i wanted to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00115-00023559-00023742 and then i could imagine reshaping this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00116-00023743-00023886 maybe i want to have um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00117-00023887-00024255 you know like 10 rows and however many
2kRMrtHYkbo-00118-00024256-00024383 columns that leaves i guess i would
2kRMrtHYkbo-00119-00024384-00024542 leave like eight
2kRMrtHYkbo-00120-00024543-00024758 eight columns is that right one two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00121-00024759-00024903 three four
2kRMrtHYkbo-00122-00024904-00025207 five six seven eight yep eight times ten
2kRMrtHYkbo-00123-00025208-00025567 rows would get me these 81s
2kRMrtHYkbo-00124-00025568-00025902 and so i can do that and and so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00125-00025904-00026143 this is all good so far let me add a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00126-00026144-00026318 little bit
2kRMrtHYkbo-00127-00026319-00026646 of vocabulary here um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00128-00026647-00026823 these one-dimensional things like back
2kRMrtHYkbo-00129-00026824-00027039 here uh these are what we call
2kRMrtHYkbo-00130-00027039-00027399 uh uh scalars right so that means uh
2kRMrtHYkbo-00131-00027400-00027783 1d these examples here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00132-00027783-00027958 um where i have two dimensions are
2kRMrtHYkbo-00133-00027960-00028087 called
2kRMrtHYkbo-00134-00028088-00028327 uh or i'm sorry that's not right these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00135-00028327-00028551 are called vectors
2kRMrtHYkbo-00136-00028552-00028839 are the one-dimensional ones um these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00137-00028839-00028967 ones where i have two dimensions
2kRMrtHYkbo-00138-00028968-00029335 are called matrices those are 2d
2kRMrtHYkbo-00139-00029336-00029614 um and so what i want to talk about in
2kRMrtHYkbo-00140-00029616-00029807 this video is kind of going um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00141-00029808-00030031 up or down a level if i wanted to i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00142-00030032-00030167 could um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00143-00030168-00030279 you know i've been doing lots of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00144-00030280-00030423 examples like this where i would say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00145-00030424-00030646 like numpy dot array
2kRMrtHYkbo-00146-00030647-00030887 and i pass in a list right i could do
2kRMrtHYkbo-00147-00030888-00031046 that if i wanted to though i could just
2kRMrtHYkbo-00148-00031047-00031183 pass in a single number like i don't
2kRMrtHYkbo-00149-00031183-00031246 know
2kRMrtHYkbo-00150-00031247-00031607 three if you look at that right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00151-00031608-00031790 and um and if i look at like the shape
2kRMrtHYkbo-00152-00031791-00031927 of that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00153-00031927-00032127 i can see it it's an empty tuple right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00154-00032127-00032311 so this is
2kRMrtHYkbo-00155-00032312-00032646 this is uh what we call a scalar that's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00156-00032647-00032959 zero dimensions um and there's a general
2kRMrtHYkbo-00157-00032960-00033046 word here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00158-00033047-00033351 right so i've seen you know scalar zero
2kRMrtHYkbo-00159-00033352-00033671 vectors one dimension matrix is two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00160-00033672-00033974 and uh the word is tensor and tensor is
2kRMrtHYkbo-00161-00033975-00034055 general
2kRMrtHYkbo-00162-00034056-00034374 term for any n
2kRMrtHYkbo-00163-00034375-00034767 dimensions right so so this is a tensor
2kRMrtHYkbo-00164-00034768-00034990 um you know this is a tensor all these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00165-00034991-00035159 things are tensors right regardless of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00166-00035160-00035199 how many
2kRMrtHYkbo-00167-00035200-00035559 dimensions they have right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00168-00035560-00035935 um so that's all good um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00169-00035936-00036223 i may be talking about images soon and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00170-00036224-00036262 um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00171-00036263-00036607 images images can
2kRMrtHYkbo-00172-00036608-00036951 be either 2d or 3d
2kRMrtHYkbo-00173-00036952-00037151 tensors that's when i start with 2d
2kRMrtHYkbo-00174-00037152-00037287 tensors and then talk about why we want
2kRMrtHYkbo-00175-00037288-00037583 i want to have a 3d tensor
2kRMrtHYkbo-00176-00037584-00037846 and and it turns out that matpotline
2kRMrtHYkbo-00177-00037847-00038118 makes it very easy
2kRMrtHYkbo-00178-00038119-00038551 to make any matrix you want
2kRMrtHYkbo-00179-00038552-00038759 into an image and so let me actually
2kRMrtHYkbo-00180-00038760-00038967 import some matplotlib stuff i guess
2kRMrtHYkbo-00181-00038968-00039199 um maybe this would be the most
2kRMrtHYkbo-00182-00039200-00039407 appropriate place to do it i'm going to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00183-00039408-00039511 say import
2kRMrtHYkbo-00184-00039512-00039879 mat plot lib dot pi plot
2kRMrtHYkbo-00185-00039880-00040207 as plt rate
2kRMrtHYkbo-00186-00040208-00040567 and then there's that run at dead
2kRMrtHYkbo-00187-00040568-00040695 there's this nice function which i can
2kRMrtHYkbo-00188-00040696-00040990 say plt dot image show
2kRMrtHYkbo-00189-00040991-00041158 and uh maybe i'm going to grab this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00190-00041159-00041295 thing with all the ones right so i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00191-00041296-00041479 going to say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00192-00041480-00041902 a equals
2kRMrtHYkbo-00193-00041903-00042087 equals that and then i can just pass in
2kRMrtHYkbo-00194-00042088-00042271 any matrix here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00195-00042272-00042662 i like so i'm going to pass in a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00196-00042663-00042807 maybe i'm just going to have this on top
2kRMrtHYkbo-00197-00042808-00043158 of each other so we can see it
2kRMrtHYkbo-00198-00043159-00043511 and we can see it's this big solid
2kRMrtHYkbo-00199-00043512-00043862 image uh that's all the same color
2kRMrtHYkbo-00200-00043863-00044062 and and all it's all one color because
2kRMrtHYkbo-00201-00044063-00044246 well i only have one number here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00202-00044247-00044407 um it looks almost like a black but it's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00203-00044408-00044646 actually like this weird purple color
2kRMrtHYkbo-00204-00044647-00044958 um in general you can pass in a color
2kRMrtHYkbo-00205-00044959-00045199 map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00206-00045200-00045511 right and the color map map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00207-00045512-00045846 associates colors with numbers and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00208-00045847-00045990 there's a bunch of different color maps
2kRMrtHYkbo-00209-00045991-00046062 you could have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00210-00046063-00046255 apparently this one is saying that you
2kRMrtHYkbo-00211-00046256-00046399 know one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00212-00046400-00046702 uh is this weird purple color so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00213-00046703-00046855 what i usually like to do is i like to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00214-00046856-00047118 have this gray color map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00215-00047119-00047271 that will put everything somewhere
2kRMrtHYkbo-00216-00047272-00047511 between white and black so i do that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00217-00047512-00047871 and now i get this pure black image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00218-00047872-00047999 let me let me try to create a more
2kRMrtHYkbo-00219-00048000-00048279 interesting matrix so i can actually see
2kRMrtHYkbo-00220-00048280-00048630 some different colors on top of this map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00221-00048631-00048918 um instead of uh instead of ones i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00222-00048919-00049039 going to say a range
2kRMrtHYkbo-00223-00049040-00049358 and i want to go up to 80. so i have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00224-00049359-00049711 that all these numbers from 0 to 80
2kRMrtHYkbo-00225-00049712-00049839 and i'm going to do the same deal i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00226-00049840-00050062 going to reshape it and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00227-00050063-00050407 uh let's say i want to have um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00228-00050408-00050527 i don't know this time i'll say i have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00229-00050528-00050758 10 rows
2kRMrtHYkbo-00230-00050759-00050999 and i'll have like eight rows this time
2kRMrtHYkbo-00231-00051000-00051207 and however many columns that is so it's
2kRMrtHYkbo-00232-00051208-00051407 going to be wider
2kRMrtHYkbo-00233-00051408-00051535 than it is long all right so i'm going
2kRMrtHYkbo-00234-00051536-00051814 to do that and uh and now i can run the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00235-00051815-00051958 same thing i can say this like image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00236-00051959-00052150 show thing
2kRMrtHYkbo-00237-00052151-00052302 and i can pass in this one where i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00238-00052303-00052550 actually have different values
2kRMrtHYkbo-00239-00052551-00053111 and uh and you can see if i scroll down
2kRMrtHYkbo-00240-00053112-00053287 you can see that when i start with these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00241-00053288-00053463 small values it's very dark
2kRMrtHYkbo-00242-00053464-00053623 right so down here it's really the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00243-00053624-00053782 amount of light we have
2kRMrtHYkbo-00244-00053783-00053919 and then down here when i have a big
2kRMrtHYkbo-00245-00053920-00054087 number it's a very bright
2kRMrtHYkbo-00246-00054088-00054303 color right so i can create these little
2kRMrtHYkbo-00247-00054304-00054407 images
2kRMrtHYkbo-00248-00054408-00054719 and of course it matters a lot like how
2kRMrtHYkbo-00249-00054720-00054879 what the dimensions of the image are
2kRMrtHYkbo-00250-00054879-00055054 right if i do that well
2kRMrtHYkbo-00251-00055055-00055311 and it's very tall or if i make it say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00252-00055312-00055454 four
2kRMrtHYkbo-00253-00055455-00055726 and it's very uh very very wide right so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00254-00055727-00055887 i can do that i can create lots of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00255-00055888-00055975 different
2kRMrtHYkbo-00256-00055976-00056199 um images here based on that with these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00257-00056200-00056399 two dimensions
2kRMrtHYkbo-00258-00056400-00056687 okay so let's deal with some real data
2kRMrtHYkbo-00259-00056688-00056838 uh we need a real image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00260-00056839-00057175 somewhere and and so if i search for
2kRMrtHYkbo-00261-00057176-00057566 a ladybug on wikipedia i find this here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00262-00057567-00057799 and i like the image because the colors
2kRMrtHYkbo-00263-00057800-00057982 are so vibrant i can see like the reds
2kRMrtHYkbo-00264-00057983-00058087 and the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00265-00058088-00058415 greens here let me click on this and i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00266-00058416-00058591 gonna right click and say copy
2kRMrtHYkbo-00267-00058591-00058950 image address and uh and then i'm gonna
2kRMrtHYkbo-00268-00058951-00058999 head over
2kRMrtHYkbo-00269-00059000-00059263 well what is this thing view in browser
2kRMrtHYkbo-00270-00059264-00059375 maybe that's gonna be better let me
2kRMrtHYkbo-00271-00059376-00059542 right click on this and say copy image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00272-00059544-00059654 address
2kRMrtHYkbo-00273-00059655-00060007 head back to my notebook and uh i wanna
2kRMrtHYkbo-00274-00060008-00060182 say something like wget
2kRMrtHYkbo-00275-00060183-00060447 and paste the url maybe actually i'm
2kRMrtHYkbo-00276-00060448-00060559 just gonna do like this w
2kRMrtHYkbo-00277-00060560-00060999 url dash capital o file name
2kRMrtHYkbo-00278-00061000-00061142 that's the general command and the file
2kRMrtHYkbo-00279-00061144-00061254 name will be something like i'll just
2kRMrtHYkbo-00280-00061255-00061519 call it blog.jpg
2kRMrtHYkbo-00281-00061520-00061775 because well jpeg file i don't want to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00282-00061776-00062038 give it this long scientific name
2kRMrtHYkbo-00283-00062039-00062230 um and let me paste the url and i run
2kRMrtHYkbo-00284-00062232-00062487 that and uh it doesn't work because
2kRMrtHYkbo-00285-00062488-00062671 that's a bash command
2kRMrtHYkbo-00286-00062672-00062847 to make it run like a bash command i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00287-00062848-00063023 should put an exclamation mark in front
2kRMrtHYkbo-00288-00063024-00063135 of it
2kRMrtHYkbo-00289-00063136-00063319 and that will i run that and actually
2kRMrtHYkbo-00290-00063320-00063542 downloads the file
2kRMrtHYkbo-00291-00063544-00063775 if i head over here to jupiter notebook
2kRMrtHYkbo-00292-00063776-00064159 i can see well there i got my bug.jpg
2kRMrtHYkbo-00293-00064160-00064482 um which is this really huge image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00294-00064483-00064638 actually um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00295-00064639-00064950 and so that's all good uh i don't want
2kRMrtHYkbo-00296-00064951-00065006 to
2kRMrtHYkbo-00297-00065007-00065159 re-download the thing every time i run
2kRMrtHYkbo-00298-00065160-00065326 my notebook that was kind of a one-time
2kRMrtHYkbo-00299-00065327-00065406 deal
2kRMrtHYkbo-00300-00065407-00065606 so i should absolutely delete that cell
2kRMrtHYkbo-00301-00065607-00065806 when i'm done
2kRMrtHYkbo-00302-00065807-00066038 and and now i want to try to read in
2kRMrtHYkbo-00303-00066039-00066135 that image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00304-00066136-00066423 right so uh there's another function and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00305-00066424-00066511 you know if i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00306-00066512-00066687 you know image show there's also one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00307-00066688-00066863 called imageread
2kRMrtHYkbo-00308-00066864-00067279 so i'm gonna say plt.imageread
2kRMrtHYkbo-00309-00067280-00067543 and i would say bog.jpeg i can just pass
2kRMrtHYkbo-00310-00067544-00067759 in a path there
2kRMrtHYkbo-00311-00067760-00067991 and uh and i get this big numpy array
2kRMrtHYkbo-00312-00067992-00068063 and so maybe i'll
2kRMrtHYkbo-00313-00068064-00068526 call that a like so and uh
2kRMrtHYkbo-00314-00068527-00068979 if i want to i can just say you know
2kRMrtHYkbo-00315-00068980-00069238 matpotlib.imageshow i want to see that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00316-00069239-00069367 image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00317-00069368-00069543 and sure enough there it is i have the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00318-00069544-00069703 image so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00319-00069704-00069991 let's take a little peek at this so if i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00320-00069992-00070079 say a dot
2kRMrtHYkbo-00321-00070080-00070311 shape well first let me look at it you
2kRMrtHYkbo-00322-00070312-00070438 can maybe already see it's three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00323-00070439-00070519 dimensional
2kRMrtHYkbo-00324-00070520-00070806 right and if i say a dot shape that will
2kRMrtHYkbo-00325-00070807-00070943 confirm it
2kRMrtHYkbo-00326-00070944-00071287 um this image has six
2kRMrtHYkbo-00327-00071288-00071655 or uh you know it has 1688 rows
2kRMrtHYkbo-00328-00071656-00071894 and you can actually see that along the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00329-00071895-00071991 y-axis
2kRMrtHYkbo-00330-00071992-00072182 that's how many rows i have and then
2kRMrtHYkbo-00331-00072183-00072535 along the x-axis i have 2 500 rows right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00332-00072536-00072631 here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00333-00072632-00072862 right so so that kind of makes sense why
2kRMrtHYkbo-00334-00072863-00072935 i have this i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00335-00072936-00073287 don't have any rows how many columns and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00336-00073288-00073615 what is this three here well it turns
2kRMrtHYkbo-00337-00073616-00073838 out that images
2kRMrtHYkbo-00338-00073839-00074271 each pixel is represented
2kRMrtHYkbo-00339-00074272-00074679 by a red red
2kRMrtHYkbo-00340-00074680-00074982 green blue mix
2kRMrtHYkbo-00341-00074983-00075335 and so i actually need for each little
2kRMrtHYkbo-00342-00075336-00075606 cell in this table or image or that tiny
2kRMrtHYkbo-00343-00075607-00075767 little cell there
2kRMrtHYkbo-00344-00075768-00076015 i need to have well how red is it how
2kRMrtHYkbo-00345-00076016-00076359 green is it and how blue is it
2kRMrtHYkbo-00346-00076360-00076543 so if i if i kind of looked at the image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00347-00076544-00076671 again
2kRMrtHYkbo-00348-00076672-00076831 what's going on here right this is all
2kRMrtHYkbo-00349-00076832-00077126 the rows
2kRMrtHYkbo-00350-00077127-00077591 and uh and then here i have a
2kRMrtHYkbo-00351-00077592-00077767 column right i have a bunch of different
2kRMrtHYkbo-00352-00077768-00077935 columns and then so here here's just
2kRMrtHYkbo-00353-00077936-00078023 like one cell
2kRMrtHYkbo-00354-00078024-00078175 and within that cell i have these three
2kRMrtHYkbo-00355-00078176-00078367 layers right and these three layers tell
2kRMrtHYkbo-00356-00078368-00078415 me
2kRMrtHYkbo-00357-00078416-00078679 how red is that pixel how green is that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00358-00078680-00078894 pixel and how blue is that pixel
2kRMrtHYkbo-00359-00078895-00079119 and that's how i end up with the end up
2kRMrtHYkbo-00360-00079120-00079350 with that image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00361-00079351-00079671 so with that uh knowledge i can make
2kRMrtHYkbo-00362-00079672-00079887 various transformations on on top of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00363-00079888-00080047 that image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00364-00080048-00080199 um one of the things i could do is i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00365-00080200-00080359 could try to crop it like let's say i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00366-00080360-00080494 just wanted to like get this part of the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00367-00080495-00080623 image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00368-00080624-00080919 and kind of get rid of that and get rid
2kRMrtHYkbo-00369-00080920-00081159 of this stuff over here on the right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00370-00081160-00081367 well how how would i do that i i would
2kRMrtHYkbo-00371-00081368-00081582 have to have some sort of um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00372-00081583-00081959 slice and uh it's three dimensional so i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00373-00081960-00082047 would need
2kRMrtHYkbo-00374-00082048-00082262 three slices i need a slice one a slice
2kRMrtHYkbo-00375-00082263-00082359 two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00376-00082360-00082671 and a slice three and to be very precise
2kRMrtHYkbo-00377-00082672-00082991 well this is a row slice
2kRMrtHYkbo-00378-00082992-00083303 this is a column slice
2kRMrtHYkbo-00379-00083304-00083703 and this is a layer slice
2kRMrtHYkbo-00380-00083704-00083847 right so there's now these three layers
2kRMrtHYkbo-00381-00083848-00084031 the red green blue layers and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00382-00084032-00084223 um and since we're dealing with images
2kRMrtHYkbo-00383-00084224-00084343 in particular
2kRMrtHYkbo-00384-00084344-00084503 there's some special vocabulary there
2kRMrtHYkbo-00385-00084504-00084679 those three color layers are called
2kRMrtHYkbo-00386-00084680-00084815 channels
2kRMrtHYkbo-00387-00084816-00085006 um if we're dealing specifically with an
2kRMrtHYkbo-00388-00085007-00085182 image so this is what i need to do i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00389-00085183-00085326 need to write separate slices for each
2kRMrtHYkbo-00390-00085327-00085494 of these
2kRMrtHYkbo-00391-00085495-00085847 and um and so how do i want to crop this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00392-00085848-00085903 thing
2kRMrtHYkbo-00393-00085904-00086231 well i i guess like let's say for the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00394-00086232-00086279 rows
2kRMrtHYkbo-00395-00086280-00086447 let's say i just want to like get 400
2kRMrtHYkbo-00396-00086448-00086703 and be low so here i'm gonna say i want
2kRMrtHYkbo-00397-00086704-00087062 uh 400 and beyond
2kRMrtHYkbo-00398-00087063-00087335 and then for the columns let's say i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00399-00087336-00087559 only want to go up to like um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00400-00087560-00087823 i don't know two thousand i'll say only
2kRMrtHYkbo-00401-00087824-00087991 up to two thousand
2kRMrtHYkbo-00402-00087992-00088255 and then for my um for my channel as
2kRMrtHYkbo-00403-00088256-00088294 well
2kRMrtHYkbo-00404-00088295-00088462 i of course want all the color so i do
2kRMrtHYkbo-00405-00088463-00088762 that and i can actually say
2kRMrtHYkbo-00406-00088763-00089079 plt.image show and it should kind of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00407-00089080-00089231 crop down
2kRMrtHYkbo-00408-00089232-00089462 the top and right of the image right and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00409-00089463-00089599 you can see it does right i'm kind of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00410-00089600-00089767 zooming in
2kRMrtHYkbo-00411-00089768-00090223 much more on the insect in question
2kRMrtHYkbo-00412-00090224-00090511 now the other thing i could do right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00413-00090512-00090831 when i'm doing this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00414-00090832-00091094 let me let me put this back here let me
2kRMrtHYkbo-00415-00091095-00091255 just take a slice of everything right so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00416-00091256-00091318 i'm gonna get
2kRMrtHYkbo-00417-00091319-00091623 every row every column every color
2kRMrtHYkbo-00418-00091624-00091999 i can do that that's the original image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00419-00092000-00092406 um if i wanted to i could pull out
2kRMrtHYkbo-00420-00092407-00092543 not take a slice but just pull out an
2kRMrtHYkbo-00421-00092544-00092782 individual color right so
2kRMrtHYkbo-00422-00092783-00093223 you know it turns out that zero is red
2kRMrtHYkbo-00423-00093224-00093687 one is green and two is blue
2kRMrtHYkbo-00424-00093688-00093847 and so if i do this this should just
2kRMrtHYkbo-00425-00093848-00094294 pull out the red parts of the image
2kRMrtHYkbo-00426-00094295-00094623 and so if i run that it's a little bit
2kRMrtHYkbo-00427-00094624-00094711 weird because
2kRMrtHYkbo-00428-00094712-00094838 let me just look at what the shape of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00429-00094839-00095191 this thing is
2kRMrtHYkbo-00430-00095192-00095359 you see that when i don't put a slice in
2kRMrtHYkbo-00431-00095360-00095487 this position i'm actually pulling out
2kRMrtHYkbo-00432-00095488-00095606 one of the layers
2kRMrtHYkbo-00433-00095607-00095823 then i get down to two dimensions and
2kRMrtHYkbo-00434-00095824-00095991 when i get down to two dimensions well
2kRMrtHYkbo-00435-00095992-00096135 matplotlib doesn't know how to do the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00436-00096136-00096335 whole red green blue thing
2kRMrtHYkbo-00437-00096336-00096591 and so it has to use a color map like
2kRMrtHYkbo-00438-00096592-00096726 actually way back here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00439-00096727-00096894 right back here i need a color map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00440-00096895-00097055 because i had to give a color to each of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00441-00097056-00097182 these numbers
2kRMrtHYkbo-00442-00097183-00097447 and so my go to color map is always the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00443-00097448-00097638 gray color map
2kRMrtHYkbo-00444-00097639-00097974 and uh and so i'm going to do that here
2kRMrtHYkbo-00445-00097975-00098247 so i'm going to do that and what this is
2kRMrtHYkbo-00446-00098248-00098415 doing is it's showing a very bright
2kRMrtHYkbo-00447-00098416-00098559 color
2kRMrtHYkbo-00448-00098560-00098799 wherever there's red right and of course
2kRMrtHYkbo-00449-00098800-00099047 the bug is red and that's why this part
2kRMrtHYkbo-00450-00099048-00099326 of the image is so bright right so this
2kRMrtHYkbo-00451-00099327-00099399 is gonna
2kRMrtHYkbo-00452-00099400-00099815 you know this is going to show
2kRMrtHYkbo-00453-00099816-00100118 you know make the red parts
2kRMrtHYkbo-00454-00100119-00100287 bright that's what it's doing right
2kRMrtHYkbo-00455-00100288-00100503 because i'm just pulling out that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00456-00100504-00100662 um if i if i want to do another one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00457-00100663-00100815 let's say i want to make like the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00458-00100816-00101182 green parts bright i'd pass in one
2kRMrtHYkbo-00459-00101183-00101438 make the green parts bright i guess that
2kRMrtHYkbo-00460-00101439-00101574 would be like the grass
2kRMrtHYkbo-00461-00101575-00101791 and so the grass is kind of bright there
2kRMrtHYkbo-00462-00101792-00101991 and you can see the bug is actually much
2kRMrtHYkbo-00463-00101992-00102174 darker now
2kRMrtHYkbo-00464-00102175-00102415 and finally if i want to make the blue
2kRMrtHYkbo-00465-00102416-00102551 parts
2kRMrtHYkbo-00466-00102552-00102902 right that'd be two
2kRMrtHYkbo-00467-00102903-00103063 then i'd expect the image to be kind of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00468-00103064-00103263 dark overall right there's not a lot of
2kRMrtHYkbo-00469-00103264-00103382 blue
2kRMrtHYkbo-00470-00103383-00103551 um in that image right i mean sometimes
2kRMrtHYkbo-00471-00103552-00103727 it's mixing with other colors but
2kRMrtHYkbo-00472-00103728-00103839 that's definitely the darkness because
2kRMrtHYkbo-00473-00103840-00104047 there's not much blue uh
2kRMrtHYkbo-00474-00104048-00104263 in the image overall right so you can
2kRMrtHYkbo-00475-00104264-00104375 definitely see the difference between
2kRMrtHYkbo-00476-00104376-00104575 these right when i'm pulling out the red
2kRMrtHYkbo-00477-00104576-00104806 the bug is really bright otherwise the
2kRMrtHYkbo-00478-00104807-00104983 bug is really dark you can also see
2kRMrtHYkbo-00479-00104983-00105143 there's more green
2kRMrtHYkbo-00480-00105144-00105471 in the bug than uh then there is blue i
2kRMrtHYkbo-00481-00105472-00105647 guess maybe that's some sort of um
2kRMrtHYkbo-00482-00105648-00105983 slight orange orange color going on
2kRMrtHYkbo-00483-00105983-00106327 right um cool so you're gonna get some
2kRMrtHYkbo-00484-00106328-00106454 practice with doing other things with
2kRMrtHYkbo-00485-00106455-00106599 these images
2kRMrtHYkbo-00486-00106600-00107032 and i'll leave you to it

2mcSWPsVUJy-00001-00000535-00000947 in the 2018 provincial election the main
2mcSWPsVUJy-00002-00000948-00001148 narrative that you'll get out of media's
2mcSWPsVUJy-00003-00001149-00001612 about budgets deficits financial issues
2mcSWPsVUJy-00004-00001613-00001993 money to business strategies it may be
2mcSWPsVUJy-00005-00001994-00002250 that the route issue is one of trust
2mcSWPsVUJy-00006-00002251-00002456 recently the Liberal government
2mcSWPsVUJy-00007-00002457-00002683 announced that they had a surplus came
2mcSWPsVUJy-00008-00002684-00002839 as a bit of surprise to everybody
2mcSWPsVUJy-00009-00002840-00003085 because we've been running deficits all
2mcSWPsVUJy-00010-00003086-00003590 along and we've seen this before and
2mcSWPsVUJy-00011-00003590-00003803 that's the point I want to make you
2mcSWPsVUJy-00012-00003804-00004019 might remember in 2009 Viktor Boudreaux
2mcSWPsVUJy-00013-00004020-00004288 the Liberals at that time ran out the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00014-00004289-00004535 deficit somewhere in the 760 million
2mcSWPsVUJy-00015-00004536-00004601 dollar range
2mcSWPsVUJy-00016-00004602-00004795 there wasn't a third year of a mandate I
2mcSWPsVUJy-00017-00004796-00005111 believe at the time the media was saying
2mcSWPsVUJy-00018-00005112-00005300 is this a record deficit for New
2mcSWPsVUJy-00019-00005301-00005549 Brunswick Chris Morris of the Telegraph
2mcSWPsVUJy-00020-00005550-00005741 Journal did some homework and talked to
2mcSWPsVUJy-00021-00005742-00006038 the Auditor General back in 1999 when
2mcSWPsVUJy-00022-00006039-00006275 Bernie Lord took the tolls off the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00023-00006276-00006569 highway turns out that our deficit at
2mcSWPsVUJy-00024-00006570-00006731 that time should have been nine hundred
2mcSWPsVUJy-00025-00006731-00006914 and twenty million dollars or so by
2mcSWPsVUJy-00026-00006915-00007148 taking the tolls off the road however
2mcSWPsVUJy-00027-00007148-00007417 the premiere of that day said nope this
2mcSWPsVUJy-00028-00007418-00007655 is a special interest item and it did
2mcSWPsVUJy-00029-00007656-00007945 not go into the books following general
2mcSWPsVUJy-00030-00007947-00008117 accounting principles according to the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00031-00008118-00008284 Auditor General of that day
2mcSWPsVUJy-00032-00008285-00008666 fast forward to 2018 and now we see
2mcSWPsVUJy-00033-00008667-00008873 almost the same thing where suddenly a
2mcSWPsVUJy-00034-00008874-00009212 deficit turns into a small surplus side
2mcSWPsVUJy-00035-00009213-00009494 note in 2010 the Business Council of New
2mcSWPsVUJy-00036-00009495-00009692 Brunswick gathered together a bit of the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00037-00009693-00009902 who's who in New Brunswick about what to
2mcSWPsVUJy-00038-00009903-00010171 do about our fiscal situation and you
2mcSWPsVUJy-00039-00010172-00010414 had 300 some odd people at DuBose's ER
2mcSWPsVUJy-00040-00010415-00010670 hotel for two days doing brainstorming
2mcSWPsVUJy-00041-00010671-00010946 and came up with 12 objectives the whole
2mcSWPsVUJy-00042-00010947-00011078 intent was to improve the overall
2mcSWPsVUJy-00043-00011079-00011299 financial situation of our government
2mcSWPsVUJy-00044-00011300-00011720 that was eight years ago at that meeting
2mcSWPsVUJy-00045-00011721-00011924 Don Drummond was brought in from Ontario
2mcSWPsVUJy-00046-00011925-00012181 to speak from his pulpit about what New
2mcSWPsVUJy-00047-00012182-00012421 Brunswick should do in his PowerPoint
2mcSWPsVUJy-00048-00012422-00012685 slide show he showed the one time the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00049-00012686-00012874 government had a little bit of a surplus
2mcSWPsVUJy-00050-00012875-00013180 and it was in 1999 all the other times
2mcSWPsVUJy-00051-00013181-00013379 on the graphs on his charts
2mcSWPsVUJy-00052-00013380-00013661 red bars leading well below zero and the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00053-00013662-00013928 one black bar just slightly above the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00054-00013929-00014303 zero but bad information in bad
2mcSWPsVUJy-00055-00014304-00014507 information out it's now eight years
2mcSWPsVUJy-00056-00014508-00014777 later of the twelve recommendations from
2mcSWPsVUJy-00057-00014778-00014987 the Business Council nine of them would
2mcSWPsVUJy-00058-00014988-00015206 involve larger government isn't that
2mcSWPsVUJy-00059-00015207-00015452 interesting and here we are in 2018
2mcSWPsVUJy-00060-00015453-00015686 cycling through the same narrative one
2mcSWPsVUJy-00061-00015687-00015929 more time there's a small surplus
2mcSWPsVUJy-00062-00015930-00016328 everything's good vote for me if there's
2mcSWPsVUJy-00063-00016329-00016580 to be a change in the lockstep pattern
2mcSWPsVUJy-00064-00016581-00016844 of New Brunswick governance it has to
2mcSWPsVUJy-00065-00016845-00017084 come from voters you will not get a
2mcSWPsVUJy-00066-00017085-00017255 shift in the narrative from mainstream
2mcSWPsVUJy-00067-00017256-00017438 media or from polling or from the
2mcSWPsVUJy-00068-00017439-00017633 political parties especially the main
2mcSWPsVUJy-00069-00017634-00017905 two they want to keep it the same way
2mcSWPsVUJy-00070-00017906-00018236 your task the voter is to get out and
2mcSWPsVUJy-00071-00018237-00018506 find if it's time yet for something
2mcSWPsVUJy-00072-00018507-00018686 different to happen in that legislature
2mcSWPsVUJy-00073-00018687-00018971 because the route of our election this
2mcSWPsVUJy-00074-00018972-00019262 time might not be about money it might
2mcSWPsVUJy-00075-00019263-00019655 be about trust that's how I see it be
2mcSWPsVUJy-00076-00019656-00020060 good have fun love each other

35gEF1SaRQA-00000-00000112-00000311 hi guys it's amy here and today we're
35gEF1SaRQA-00001-00000312-00000559 going to be looking at course copying in
35gEF1SaRQA-00002-00000560-00000734 an ultra course
35gEF1SaRQA-00003-00000735-00000966 so to get started with course copying
35gEF1SaRQA-00004-00000967-00001215 there's two places you can go and the
35gEF1SaRQA-00005-00001216-00001415 first and this might be um something
35gEF1SaRQA-00006-00001416-00001574 that you would do if it was a brand new
35gEF1SaRQA-00007-00001575-00001823 course so for the next academic year
35gEF1SaRQA-00008-00001823-00001951 this is probably where you would go
35gEF1SaRQA-00009-00001952-00002239 first you would go to the more options
35gEF1SaRQA-00010-00002240-00002471 and you would choose copy content and
35gEF1SaRQA-00011-00002472-00002623 this would then allow you to start
35gEF1SaRQA-00012-00002624-00002750 copying
35gEF1SaRQA-00013-00002751-00002975 if you're doing stuff mid-year what you
35gEF1SaRQA-00014-00002976-00003191 can do is anywhere you see the plus you
35gEF1SaRQA-00015-00003192-00003463 can copy content to that area wherever
35gEF1SaRQA-00016-00003464-00003670 you select the plus so if you select the
35gEF1SaRQA-00017-00003671-00003895 plus at the top or at the bottom or in
35gEF1SaRQA-00018-00003896-00004103 the middle that's where your copies
35gEF1SaRQA-00019-00004104-00004295 content will go so i'm going to just use
35gEF1SaRQA-00020-00004296-00004463 the plus just to show you that it works
35gEF1SaRQA-00021-00004464-00004599 exactly the same
35gEF1SaRQA-00022-00004600-00005063 i'm going to choose copy content
35gEF1SaRQA-00023-00005064-00005191 so what this will now do is it will
35gEF1SaRQA-00024-00005192-00005406 bring me a list of all of the courses
35gEF1SaRQA-00025-00005407-00005638 i'm enrolled on so it will have all the
35gEF1SaRQA-00026-00005639-00005799 courses that are available this year and
35gEF1SaRQA-00027-00005800-00006070 last year that i can copy content to and
35gEF1SaRQA-00028-00006071-00006159 from
35gEF1SaRQA-00029-00006160-00006351 um so i'm going to copy content from one
35gEF1SaRQA-00030-00006352-00006518 that i'm going to search for
35gEF1SaRQA-00031-00006519-00006670 and i'm just going to start typing the
35gEF1SaRQA-00032-00006672-00007278 name of the course or the course code
35gEF1SaRQA-00033-00007279-00007478 okay and i'm going to select this amy
35gEF1SaRQA-00034-00007479-00007606 ultra new
35gEF1SaRQA-00035-00007608-00007783 and with this what i can do is i can
35gEF1SaRQA-00036-00007784-00007983 take this green box and this will
35gEF1SaRQA-00037-00007984-00008263 actually select every single item in the
35gEF1SaRQA-00038-00008264-00008487 course and bring it over so this is
35gEF1SaRQA-00039-00008488-00008727 really handy for the start of the
35gEF1SaRQA-00040-00008728-00008887 academic year when you know that you
35gEF1SaRQA-00041-00008888-00009095 need to copy everything over you can
35gEF1SaRQA-00042-00009096-00009271 just tick that box and then you would go
35gEF1SaRQA-00043-00009272-00009463 down to the bottom and you would choose
35gEF1SaRQA-00044-00009464-00009703 copy selected content and it would bring
35gEF1SaRQA-00045-00009704-00009910 every single item over
35gEF1SaRQA-00046-00009911-00010159 however it's mid-year maybe i only want
35gEF1SaRQA-00047-00010160-00010438 to copy one or two things so to do that
35gEF1SaRQA-00048-00010439-00010687 i'm going to click onto the arrow on the
35gEF1SaRQA-00049-00010688-00010855 right hand side which is going to take
35gEF1SaRQA-00050-00010856-00011199 me inside the course to select my items
35gEF1SaRQA-00051-00011200-00011414 i'll do the same click the arrow again
35gEF1SaRQA-00052-00011415-00011606 on course content
35gEF1SaRQA-00053-00011607-00011759 and now it's going to show me all the
35gEF1SaRQA-00054-00011760-00011983 different pieces of content in this
35gEF1SaRQA-00055-00011984-00012255 course that i can now go and copy so i
35gEF1SaRQA-00056-00012256-00012519 have learning modules and with learning
35gEF1SaRQA-00057-00012520-00012719 modules you do have to copy the whole
35gEF1SaRQA-00058-00012720-00013055 module over however with a folder you
35gEF1SaRQA-00059-00013056-00013279 can go inside a folder and choose the
35gEF1SaRQA-00060-00013280-00013479 individual pieces of content inside the
35gEF1SaRQA-00061-00013480-00013775 folder so i'll just use this one
35gEF1SaRQA-00062-00013776-00013983 from this folder
35gEF1SaRQA-00063-00013984-00014222 and then i'm just going to click back to
35gEF1SaRQA-00064-00014223-00014471 go back to the course content
35gEF1SaRQA-00065-00014472-00014679 and then i'll choose this example and
35gEF1SaRQA-00066-00014680-00014903 i'm also going to choose this learning
35gEF1SaRQA-00067-00014904-00015086 module here
35gEF1SaRQA-00068-00015087-00015286 all right and i can keep clicking back
35gEF1SaRQA-00069-00015287-00015527 to go back to the my course again if i
35gEF1SaRQA-00070-00015528-00015815 need to copy the discussions or i can
35gEF1SaRQA-00071-00015816-00016022 actually search for another course and i
35gEF1SaRQA-00072-00016023-00016286 can copy from a second course if i need
35gEF1SaRQA-00073-00016287-00016543 to um so i can just start looking for a
35gEF1SaRQA-00074-00016544-00016799 second course that i'm enrolled on
35gEF1SaRQA-00075-00016800-00017047 uh let's go for this digital marketing
35gEF1SaRQA-00076-00017048-00017167 one here
35gEF1SaRQA-00077-00017168-00017463 and i can click onto it and i can then
35gEF1SaRQA-00078-00017464-00017807 go into week one and maybe copy this
35gEF1SaRQA-00079-00017808-00018022 presentation i can click back on this
35gEF1SaRQA-00080-00018023-00018255 folder go back to the main area and
35gEF1SaRQA-00081-00018256-00018471 let's click on week three
35gEF1SaRQA-00082-00018472-00018694 and we'll click on to this presentation
35gEF1SaRQA-00083-00018695-00018814 as well
35gEF1SaRQA-00084-00018815-00019055 so now i can go down to the bottom and
35gEF1SaRQA-00085-00019056-00019319 view all my selected items and just
35gEF1SaRQA-00086-00019320-00019567 double check i've i've got everything
35gEF1SaRQA-00087-00019568-00019743 once i know that i have i can untick
35gEF1SaRQA-00088-00019744-00020007 tick or go back and and add more stuff
35gEF1SaRQA-00089-00020008-00020199 from different courses down at the
35gEF1SaRQA-00090-00020200-00020511 bottom i can choose copy selected
35gEF1SaRQA-00091-00020512-00020622 content
35gEF1SaRQA-00092-00020623-00020847 and this will bring everything over into
35gEF1SaRQA-00093-00020848-00021150 my ultra course
35gEF1SaRQA-00094-00021151-00021327 okay so after some time because i was
35gEF1SaRQA-00095-00021328-00021614 copying quite a lot of content it is now
35gEF1SaRQA-00096-00021615-00021958 available in my course all of the um
35gEF1SaRQA-00097-00021959-00022230 items from the two courses are here and
35gEF1SaRQA-00098-00022231-00022407 they're also all hidden from students
35gEF1SaRQA-00099-00022408-00022630 when they get copied over so you could
35gEF1SaRQA-00100-00022631-00022807 individually go in and make these
35gEF1SaRQA-00101-00022808-00022975 available however if you know that you
35gEF1SaRQA-00102-00022976-00023158 want to make everything available the
35gEF1SaRQA-00103-00023159-00023358 quick way to do this is to go back to
35gEF1SaRQA-00104-00023359-00023694 your three dots more options in the top
35gEF1SaRQA-00105-00023695-00024071 of the course and choose batch edit
35gEF1SaRQA-00106-00024072-00024271 and then in this screen here what you
35gEF1SaRQA-00107-00024272-00024503 can do is you can just select individual
35gEF1SaRQA-00108-00024504-00024775 items or everything and then down in the

35gEF1SaRQA-00111-00025231-00025439 visibility for example
35gEF1SaRQA-00112-00025440-00025694 and make them all visible to students
35gEF1SaRQA-00113-00025695-00025831 hit share
35gEF1SaRQA-00114-00025832-00026158 hit save visibility and that will go and
35gEF1SaRQA-00115-00026160-00026431 make everything visible to students in
35gEF1SaRQA-00116-00026432-00026679 one quick easy swoop so that's how we
35gEF1SaRQA-00117-00026680-00026879 can course copy and how we can change
35gEF1SaRQA-00118-00026880-00027316 our visibility very quickly

36WETJIKj-U-00000-00000043-00000316 energy subsidies are measures that keep
36WETJIKj-U-00001-00000317-00000574 prices for consumers below market levels
36WETJIKj-U-00002-00000575-00000817 or for producers above market levels or

36WETJIKj-U-00016-00004128-00004352 widely seen as one of the most effective
36WETJIKj-U-00017-00004353-00005127 ways of reducing global carbon emissions
36WETJIKj-U-00018-00005128-00005643 topic overview

36WETJIKj-U-00031-00008953-00009151 are used to stimulate particular
36WETJIKj-U-00032-00009152-00009363 economic sectors or segments of the

36WETJIKj-U-00039-00010711-00010999 transition main arguments against energy
36WETJIKj-U-00040-00011000-00011319 subsidies are some energy subsidies
36WETJIKj-U-00041-00011320-00011499 counter the goal of sustainable
36WETJIKj-U-00042-00011500-00011691 development as they may lead to higher
36WETJIKj-U-00043-00011692-00011938 consumption and waste exacerbating the
36WETJIKj-U-00044-00011939-00012159 harmful effects of energy use on the
36WETJIKj-U-00045-00012160-00012376 environment create a heavy burden on
36WETJIKj-U-00046-00012377-00012574 government finances and weaken the

36WETJIKj-U-00058-00015304-00015541 Bank finds that subsidies to the large

36WETJIKj-U-00060-00015763-00016084 energy sector are not justified however
36WETJIKj-U-00061-00016085-00016294 under some circumstances it is
36WETJIKj-U-00062-00016294-00016509 reasonable to use subsidies to promote
36WETJIKj-U-00063-00016510-00016711 access to energy for the poorest
36WETJIKj-U-00064-00016712-00016941 households in developing countries
36WETJIKj-U-00065-00016942-00017233 energy subsidies should encourage access
36WETJIKj-U-00066-00017234-00017464 to the modern energy sources not to
36WETJIKj-U-00067-00017465-00017775 cover operating costs of companies the

36WETJIKj-U-00070-00018238-00018508 often go to capital intensive projects
36WETJIKj-U-00071-00018509-00018739 at the expense of smaller or distributed

37HJKs1ePgg-00045-00011364-00011617 so true more than you will ever know
37HJKs1ePgg-00046-00011618-00011894 when I took office two years ago one of
37HJKs1ePgg-00047-00011895-00012114 my highest priorities was to reduce
37HJKs1ePgg-00048-00012115-00012499 violent crime in the two years before my
37HJKs1ePgg-00049-00012500-00012730 inauguration violent crime was up
37HJKs1ePgg-00050-00012731-00012961 substantially very substantially and
37HJKs1ePgg-00051-00012962-00013213 murders had increased by more than 20
37HJKs1ePgg-00052-00013215-00013316 percent
37HJKs1ePgg-00053-00013316-00013610 for this reason my administration
37HJKs1ePgg-00054-00013611-00013852 resurrected project safe neighborhoods
37HJKs1ePgg-00055-00013853-00014080 bringing together citizens groups
37HJKs1ePgg-00056-00014081-00014288 sheriffs and police departments to put
37HJKs1ePgg-00057-00014288-00014624 dangerous offenders behind bars while
37HJKs1ePgg-00058-00014625-00014978 supporting crime prevention and re-entry
37HJKs1ePgg-00059-00014979-00015272 programs part of the reason we're doing
37HJKs1ePgg-00060-00015272-00015512 well is that people are getting jobs
37HJKs1ePgg-00061-00015513-00015701 because the economy may be the strongest
37HJKs1ePgg-00062-00015702-00015919 it's ever been all of your states are
37HJKs1ePgg-00063-00015920-00016082 doing very well I think we have the
37HJKs1ePgg-00064-00016083-00016343 strongest economy perhaps ever the
37HJKs1ePgg-00065-00016344-00016582 lowest unemployment rate we've ever had
37HJKs1ePgg-00066-00016583-00016862 you could say 51 years or you could say
37HJKs1ePgg-00067-00016863-00017165 ever but groups if you look at
37HJKs1ePgg-00068-00017166-00017432 african-american asian-american Hispanic
37HJKs1ePgg-00069-00017433-00017797 American the lowest unemployment rate
37HJKs1ePgg-00070-00017798-00018179 historically ever so that helps a lot
37HJKs1ePgg-00071-00018180-00018539 with what you do we deployed 200 new
37HJKs1ePgg-00072-00018540-00018782 violent crime prosecutors we charged a
37HJKs1ePgg-00073-00018783-00018997 record number of firearms offenders and
37HJKs1ePgg-00074-00018998-00019310 last year we prosecuted the most violent
37HJKs1ePgg-00075-00019311-00019556 criminals ever the most ever in our
37HJKs1ePgg-00076-00019557-00019819 history also with your help and
37HJKs1ePgg-00077-00019820-00020096 leadership violent crime is now going
37HJKs1ePgg-00078-00020097-00020285 down for the first time in a long time
37HJKs1ePgg-00079-00020286-00020500 murders in America's largest cities
37HJKs1ePgg-00080-00020501-00020822 dropped by seven percent between 2016
37HJKs1ePgg-00081-00020823-00021256 and 2017 last year we passed historic
37HJKs1ePgg-00082-00021257-00021542 legislation to combat the devastating
37HJKs1ePgg-00083-00021543-00021914 opioid and drug crisis and I'm dealing
37HJKs1ePgg-00084-00021915-00022180 with China right now in a very big trade
37HJKs1ePgg-00085-00022181-00022450 deal as you probably have read heard
37HJKs1ePgg-00086-00022451-00022640 some of you are a little bit involved
37HJKs1ePgg-00087-00022641-00022865 but I can tell you I said to President
37HJKs1ePgg-00088-00022866-00023408 Xi that we cannot let fentanyl into our
37HJKs1ePgg-00089-00023409-00023603 country almost a hundred percent comes
37HJKs1ePgg-00090-00023604-00023828 from China it's devastating as you know
37HJKs1ePgg-00091-00023829-00023900 better than I do
37HJKs1ePgg-00092-00023901-00024200 it's devastating and he has promised to
37HJKs1ePgg-00093-00024201-00024491 and they're in the process of doing so
37HJKs1ePgg-00094-00024492-00024769 when I take him for his word make it a
37HJKs1ePgg-00095-00024770-00024934 criminal act at the highest level which
37HJKs1ePgg-00096-00024935-00025172 in China means the death penalty that
37HJKs1ePgg-00097-00025173-00025511 you'd have a massive impact on fentanyl
37HJKs1ePgg-00098-00025512-00025777 coming into our country from China
37HJKs1ePgg-00099-00025777-00026174 this legislation expands life-saving
37HJKs1ePgg-00100-00026175-00026387 treatment and authorizes funding for
37HJKs1ePgg-00101-00026388-00026558 local law enforcement to help those
37HJKs1ePgg-00102-00026558-00026661 badly at

3tklpPaMff0-00011-00004540-00004800 directed by Herbert Winlock for the

3tklpPaMff0-00015-00005665-00005925 chamber yielded the two panels of what
3tklpPaMff0-00016-00005926-00006174 is now referred to as the Egyptian
3tklpPaMff0-00017-00006175-00006848 celestial diagram
3tklpPaMff0-00018-00006848-00007489 topic celestial diagram
3tklpPaMff0-00019-00007490-00007817 the celestial diagram consisted of a
3tklpPaMff0-00020-00007818-00008048 northern and a southern panel which
3tklpPaMff0-00021-00008048-00008351 depicted circumpolar constellations in
3tklpPaMff0-00022-00008352-00008702 the form of disks each divided into 24
3tklpPaMff0-00023-00008703-00008798 sections

3tklpPaMff0-00027-00009815-00010145 diagram the only certainly identifiable
3tklpPaMff0-00028-00010146-00010358 was meh sketchy with the Big Dipper
3tklpPaMff0-00029-00010359-00010610 because of the difficulty that arises
3tklpPaMff0-00030-00010611-00010838 when an attempt is made to match
3tklpPaMff0-00031-00010839-00011089 modern-day constellations with the
3tklpPaMff0-00032-00011090-00011341 depictions made thousands of years ago
3tklpPaMff0-00033-00011342-00011752 by the ancient Egyptians some of the
3tklpPaMff0-00034-00011753-00012016 main figures and stars seen in the
3tklpPaMff0-00035-00012017-00012371 diagram are serious Orion Ursa Major
3tklpPaMff0-00036-00012372-00012724 Draco may be depicted as hippopotamus
3tklpPaMff0-00037-00012725-00013124 with crocodile on its back the four
3tklpPaMff0-00038-00013125-00013391 circles on the top right refer to the
3tklpPaMff0-00039-00013391-00013708 four months of a ket inundation between
3tklpPaMff0-00040-00013709-00013987 July and October
3tklpPaMff0-00041-00013988-00014278 the two circles at the top left and the
3tklpPaMff0-00042-00014279-00014541 two below them refer to the season of
3tklpPaMff0-00043-00014543-00014866 pair a planting season between November
3tklpPaMff0-00044-00014866-00015074 and February
3tklpPaMff0-00045-00015075-00015380 the four circles on the right refer to
3tklpPaMff0-00046-00015381-00015671 the season of show Moo harvesting season
3tklpPaMff0-00047-00015672-00015938 between March and June the map on the
3tklpPaMff0-00048-00015938-00016169 southern panel could well reflect a
3tklpPaMff0-00049-00016169-00016568 specific conjunction of planets in 1534
3tklpPaMff0-00050-00016569-00016951 BCE around the longitude of Sirius the
3tklpPaMff0-00051-00016952-00017384 four planets Jupiter Saturn Mercury and
3tklpPaMff0-00052-00017385-00017722 Venus are relatively easily recognizable
3tklpPaMff0-00053-00017723-00018089 the planet Mars is not included in the
3tklpPaMff0-00054-00018090-00018377 actual grouping and at first sight seems
3tklpPaMff0-00055-00018378-00018749 to be missing in the map however one
3tklpPaMff0-00056-00018750-00019073 explanation is that Mars as represented
3tklpPaMff0-00057-00019074-00019328 in the Senate mute map as an empty boat
3tklpPaMff0-00058-00019329-00019685 in the West this may refer to the fact
3tklpPaMff0-00059-00019686-00019955 that Mars was retrograde and was not
3tklpPaMff0-00060-00019956-00020222 with the other planets indeed being in
3tklpPaMff0-00061-00020223-00020753 the West in the 1534 BCE conjunction the
3tklpPaMff0-00062-00020754-00020993 reason for the boat being empty is
3tklpPaMff0-00063-00020994-00021263 perhaps in this backward movement a
3tklpPaMff0-00064-00021264-00021536 well-known phenomenon to the Egyptians
3tklpPaMff0-00065-00021537-00021833 the position of Mars was not considered
3tklpPaMff0-00066-00021834-00022055 to be concrete an alternative
3tklpPaMff0-00067-00022056-00022307 explanation for the missing Mars as
3tklpPaMff0-00068-00022308-00022668 proposed by Belmonte
3tklpPaMff0-00069-00022669-00022965 dot the astronomical ceiling of the tomb
3tklpPaMff0-00070-00022966-00023295 of sin and mute as a gigantic copy of a
3tklpPaMff0-00071-00023296-00023601 papyrus draft of a celestial diagram
3tklpPaMff0-00072-00023602-00023844 that would have existed and used to be
3tklpPaMff0-00073-00023845-00024138 represented in clips a Dre water clocks
3tklpPaMff0-00074-00024139-00024501 as that of Karnak because of the lack of
3tklpPaMff0-00075-00024502-00024777 space when moving the design from a
3tklpPaMff0-00076-00024778-00025062 conical to a flat surface part of the
3tklpPaMff0-00077-00025063-00025758 decoration was lost
3tklpPaMff0-00078-00025759-00026352 topic significance
3tklpPaMff0-00079-00026352-00026625 although that tomb had been unfinished
3tklpPaMff0-00080-00026626-00026862 and had sustained damage throughout the
3tklpPaMff0-00081-00026863-00027126 centuries the sealing yielded new
3tklpPaMff0-00082-00027127-00027455 information about astronomy chronology
3tklpPaMff0-00083-00027456-00027764 mythology and religion in Egypt because
3tklpPaMff0-00084-00027766-00027993 of the incorporation of all these
3tklpPaMff0-00085-00027994-00028245 elements as a means of connecting the
3tklpPaMff0-00086-00028245-00028635 divine to the mortal world Egyptian
3tklpPaMff0-00087-00028636-00028839 astronomy consisted of the
3tklpPaMff0-00088-00028839-00029133 identification of the heavenly bodies in
3tklpPaMff0-00089-00029133-00029352 the sky and their connection with the
3tklpPaMff0-00090-00029352-00029558 deities that were believed to play a
3tklpPaMff0-00091-00029560-00029908 role in religious mythology and practice
3tklpPaMff0-00092-00029910-00030201 astronomical ceilings bore significant
3tklpPaMff0-00093-00030202-00030452 symbolism for the Egyptians as they
3tklpPaMff0-00094-00030454-00030687 combined divine religion with more
3tklpPaMff0-00095-00030688-00030983 earthly aspects of daily life such as
3tklpPaMff0-00096-00030985-00031329 agriculture and labor the detailed
3tklpPaMff0-00097-00031330-00031599 depiction of astronomy and deities
3tklpPaMff0-00098-00031600-00031877 illustrates the Egyptians desire to
3tklpPaMff0-00099-00031879-00032127 understand the heavens and the attempt
3tklpPaMff0-00100-00032127-00032385 to apply that understanding to the gods
3tklpPaMff0-00101-00032386-00032610 that they believed influenced all
3tklpPaMff0-00102-00032611-00033030 aspects of life the assimilation of
3tklpPaMff0-00103-00033031-00033303 these elements ensured that the Egyptian
3tklpPaMff0-00104-00033304-00033540 calendar would differ from the ancient
3tklpPaMff0-00105-00033541-00033780 calendars of the Sumerians and the
3tklpPaMff0-00106-00033781-00034125 Babylonians Otto neugebauer
3tklpPaMff0-00107-00034126-00034425 suggests that the complexity of Egyptian
3tklpPaMff0-00108-00034426-00034650 calendars
3tklpPaMff0-00109-00034651-00034975 represents the peaceful coexistence of
3tklpPaMff0-00110-00034976-00035236 different methods of defining time
3tklpPaMff0-00111-00035237-00035545 moments and time intervals in different
3tklpPaMff0-00112-00035546-00035986 ways on different occasions the use of
3tklpPaMff0-00113-00035987-00036262 astronomical calendars was not limited
3tklpPaMff0-00114-00036263-00036543 to sealing tombs as they appeared on
3tklpPaMff0-00115-00036544-00036871 coffin boards water boards temples and

3tvV7qtL3Jy-00063-00014508-00014651 originally
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00064-00014652-00014915 um I wanted to have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00065-00014916-00015179 a world built around this this magic
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00066-00015180-00015425 system of these of these sources that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00067-00015426-00015593 people can swallow and they you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00068-00015594-00015719 they they sit inside the stomach and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00069-00015719-00015827 that's where the sort of like the magic
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00070-00015828-00016180 comes from I you know it's it's a type
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00071-00016181-00016330 of magic that I've just not done before
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00072-00016331-00016621 where it is literally based on a source
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00073-00016622-00016919 in this situation uh hey we can do
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00074-00016920-00017130 spoilers in this situation the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00075-00017131-00017536 personalized coffins of gods
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00076-00017537-00017621 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00077-00017622-00017843 so I wanted to base
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00078-00017844-00018100 um a magic system around around them and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00079-00018101-00018293 I also wanted to do this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00080-00018294-00018427 this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00081-00018428-00018700 story that was set entirely underground
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00082-00018701-00018893 because it's it was a setting I'd never
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00083-00018894-00019205 done before I'd only read one book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00084-00019206-00019403 um that did that did it before and that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00085-00019404-00019679 was uh the fade by Chris wooding
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00086-00019680-00019919 so I wanted to I wanted to just give
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00087-00019920-00020117 this setting a go
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00088-00020118-00020453 um and uh and then as I was sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00089-00020454-00020807 gearing up to it I just I I think I may
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00090-00020808-00020950 have been inspired a little bit by Dark
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00091-00020951-00021113 Crystal
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00092-00021114-00021269 um I don't know if you guys have ever
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00093-00021270-00021419 watched that but in Dark Crystal there's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00094-00021420-00021803 the the skeksis and the the Ancients and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00095-00021804-00022078 they are familiar with it the amazing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00096-00022079-00022313 puppetry of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00097-00022314-00022378 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00098-00022379-00022663 I've forgotten his name is Jim Henson
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00099-00022664-00022900 thank you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00100-00022901-00023057 um but the thing about the skipsies and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00101-00023058-00023344 the the Ancients is uh they were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00102-00023345-00023572 originally one being uh each of them was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00103-00023573-00023711 originally one being and then they were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00104-00023712-00023986 separated into their into two and and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00105-00023987-00024130 they're sort of linked when one of them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00106-00024131-00024389 dies another one dies and I just thought
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00107-00024390-00024641 that was a really cool sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00108-00024642-00024875 um mechanic essentially little concept
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00109-00024876-00025072 so I sort of like I wanted to wanted to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00110-00025073-00025319 do something with that as well
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00111-00025320-00025528 um and and then it just sort of like I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00112-00025529-00025708 just thought ah as I usually do I'll
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00113-00025710-00025906 start writing it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00114-00025907-00026231 um so I did and bits and pieces just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00115-00026232-00026417 kept falling into place here and there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00116-00026418-00026543 and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00117-00026544-00026705 um it's it's really hard for me to talk
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00118-00026706-00026879 about where inspiration comes from for a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00119-00026880-00027005 lot of things because sometimes I get
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00120-00027006-00027287 inspired about a like a specific point
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00121-00027288-00027520 but it's not like I I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00122-00027522-00027868 sort of build the world beforehand over
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00123-00027869-00028024 on one big inspiration it's usually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00124-00028025-00028240 because I'm such a Panzer sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00125-00028241-00028439 as I'm as I'm writing it I'm like oh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00126-00028439-00028655 that sounds cool I'll pull that idea in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00127-00028656-00028846 oh yeah that one and then you know I get
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00128-00028847-00029020 towards book five of the series and I'm
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00129-00029022-00029170 like oh [__] how do I tie this all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00130-00029172-00029302 together
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00131-00029304-00029370 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00132-00029372-00029693 so was the tying together of all these
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00133-00029694-00029873 elements and that connects to another
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00134-00029874-00030173 question I have prepared was the tying
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00135-00030174-00030485 together with all these elements uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00136-00030486-00030767 challenging very challenging indeed
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00137-00030768-00031145 yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00138-00031145-00031318 um part of the way that I wrote book one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00139-00031319-00031451 is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00140-00031452-00031618 um I just kept adding things that I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00141-00031619-00031762 thought were cool
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00142-00031763-00031901 um and quite often because of the way
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00143-00031902-00032105 it's told of esketelling it from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00144-00032106-00032339 the future talking about our past a lot
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00145-00032339-00032501 of times I'd just be like yeah that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00146-00032502-00032681 sounds cool I'll I'll have her say that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00147-00032682-00032855 she did this and then she did this and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00148-00032856-00032987 then she did this and then it gets
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00149-00032988-00033107 towards the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00150-00033108-00033274 later end of her life and I'm like oh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00151-00033275-00033412 [__] she hasn't done half the things
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00152-00033413-00033646 that I said she was gonna do
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00153-00033647-00033862 yeah but you you absolutely managed to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00154-00033863-00034109 tie it together very well as if you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00155-00034110-00034549 actually had a plant all of it all along
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00156-00034550-00034883 and and I believe that deserves all the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00157-00034884-00035057 props honestly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00158-00035058-00035195 thank you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00159-00035196-00035285 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00160-00035286-00035501 honestly it's it's a weird thing where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00161-00035502-00035915 my my brain works uh like serialis
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00162-00035916-00036107 um she loves puzzles my brain loves
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00163-00036108-00036293 puzzles apparently because I love just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00164-00036294-00036539 adding things and then at some point my
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00165-00036540-00036718 brain sort of starts making the links
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00166-00036719-00036893 between them and and suddenly it's like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00167-00036894-00037129 oh wait that that's almost perfect
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00168-00037130-00037411 you know it's almost like I wrote it to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00169-00037412-00037673 yeah it was sort of like this this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00170-00037674-00037877 connection in mind whereas I didn't I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00171-00037878-00037996 just sort of made the connections
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00172-00037997-00038230 afterwards uh yeah I suppose if you've
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00173-00038231-00038471 got like a blank page full of dots and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00174-00038472-00038621 um you connect them all into a rabbit
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00175-00038622-00038740 you're like oh look it was a rabbit all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00176-00038741-00038939 along
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00177-00038940-00039287 now it works perfectly well and I enjoy
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00178-00039288-00039539 the fact that you your brain works the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00179-00039540-00039802 same as serious because while I was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00180-00039803-00040085 reading about her that definitely became
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00181-00040086-00040307 the character I um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00182-00040308-00040583 I got invested in the most and the one I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00183-00040584-00040757 related to the most I don't know about
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00184-00040758-00040996 you me here which one was the character
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00185-00040997-00041290 you felt was speaking to you most
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00186-00041291-00041417 directly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00187-00041418-00041615 oh that's a good question well the funny
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00188-00041616-00041896 thing is I didn't meet like I I was at
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00189-00041897-00042095 Skype first was it like in book one I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00190-00042096-00042280 did not like ask and Rob knows this like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00191-00042281-00042418 you know if book one was very hard for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00192-00042419-00042557 me because I just could not relate to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00193-00042558-00042821 escarole and I was like this this world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00194-00042822-00043037 is intriguing but she's too abrasive
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00195-00043038-00043199 like you know there is no like there's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00196-00043200-00043409 very little I mean I understood why her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00197-00043410-00043540 aggro was there but it's very little to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00198-00043541-00043685 for me to like you know connect to her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00199-00043686-00043811 but then from book two onwards it'd be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00200-00043812-00043955 getting better but yeah my favorites
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00201-00043956-00044129 were also both Kento and cyrill from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00202-00044130-00044308 book four football four is my favorite
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00203-00044309-00044711 of the series I like I love I feel like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00204-00044712-00044902 rob you could write a like you'd like a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00205-00044903-00045017 you could write like a whole different
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00206-00045018-00045155 book from both kentos and Sir let's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00207-00045156-00045323 perspectives about the way they see the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00208-00045324-00045496 world and the way they view eska just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00209-00045497-00045665 because they're so magnetic characters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00210-00045666-00045845 and we don't really get to see their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00211-00045846-00046001 Viewpoint so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00212-00046002-00046367 that's for me but Rob I just yeah I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00213-00046368-00046637 apologies but that's reminded me that I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00214-00046638-00046817 promised to myself that I would petition
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00215-00046818-00047087 Rob to write at some point a book series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00216-00047088-00047267 or at least a book from the point of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00217-00047268-00047477 view of Syria that's so Rob consider
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00218-00047478-00047940 yourself petitioned please
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00219-00047941-00048299 I don't know we'll see I mean
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00220-00048300-00048539 the I'm I'm done with the war return to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00221-00048540-00048757 be honest uh are you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00222-00048758-00049121 I was very curious 2016.
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00223-00049122-00049415 um so it was a good six year project
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00224-00049416-00049727 um and uh I I have no intention of of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00225-00049728-00049990 revisiting that world but I you never
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00226-00049991-00050195 know Cyril if she's playing with portals
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00227-00050196-00050512 that is very true and the reason that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00228-00050513-00050735 she's playing with portals were it made
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00229-00050736-00051143 me curious about whether she might be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00230-00051144-00051419 popping up into some other world in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00231-00051420-00051670 future and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00232-00051671-00051892 the whole way that the warrior Channel
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00233-00051894-00052264 ends it does not exactly end on a very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00234-00052265-00052780 you know uh closed notes so it it does
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00235-00052782-00053237 have that element of a series that can
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00236-00053238-00053500 spawn another series if you will if you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00237-00053501-00053849 ever had the ideas and I obviously you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00238-00053850-00054094 don't have any at this point but it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00239-00054095-00054329 would be cool if one day you return to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00240-00054329-00054588 it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00241-00054589-00054863 would if I ever return to the war
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00242-00054864-00055030 Eternal which as I say I have no plans
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00243-00055032-00055169 it would have to be something like long
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00244-00055170-00055426 in the future where uh things have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00245-00055427-00055723 obviously changed a lot with I mean
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00246-00055724-00056009 at the end of of death speaking your
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00247-00056010-00056182 heart it's literally Oh look The
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00248-00056183-00056387 underworld's there and esker is in fact
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00249-00056388-00056587 death
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00250-00056588-00056813 so I had a quick question about the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00251-00056814-00056921 length of this world because you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00252-00056922-00057023 mentioned like you know when you're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00253-00057024-00057119 reading this book we realize that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00254-00057120-00057226 there's a lot there's been a lot of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00255-00057227-00057544 cataclysms because of the yin and Iran
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00256-00057545-00057773 keep on fighting with each other but how
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00257-00057774-00057988 truly old is the world because this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00258-00057989-00058138 world was already there before the chain
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00259-00058139-00058342 and Iran you know were put there or like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00260-00058344-00058516 already imprisoned them in the world in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00261-00058517-00058775 the moons by the maker so what is a true
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00262-00058776-00058949 like what is the two origins of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00263-00058950-00059141 world or how old is this world truly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00264-00059141-00059411 awareness
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00265-00059412-00059680 um very old I I don't give things like a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00266-00059682-00059980 well a world like that a specific age
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00267-00059982-00060250 um because I that that would tie into
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00268-00060251-00060425 sort of like a bit of a creation myth
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00269-00060426-00060563 where there would have to be a God that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00270-00060564-00060773 created it or you'd have to be like okay
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00271-00060774-00060953 well then there's the big bang and then
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00272-00060954-00061109 it was like millions and millions and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00273-00061110-00061229 millions of billions and millions and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00274-00061229-00061715 years I don't know uh I I know uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00275-00061716-00061961 physicist so I can't deal in time
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00276-00061962-00062297 schemes time scales that that massive so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00277-00062298-00062525 I I don't have a specific a specific
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00278-00062526-00062735 answer for that I'm afraid it's uh the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00279-00062736-00062969 the world is old um it was there before
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00280-00062970-00063282 the London division whatever put there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00281-00063283-00063623 uh and uh that's about as much as it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00282-00063624-00063887 really relevant yep so it was a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00283-00063888-00064013 primitive one though right from what
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00284-00064014-00064169 from your from what I read for the books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00285-00064170-00064379 it was a primitive one and there were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00286-00064379-00064529 there were multiple creatures or the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00287-00064529-00064673 multiple racist so to speak but it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00288-00064674-00064865 still a primitive one just with forest
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00289-00064866-00065104 and lakes and oceans and everything but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00290-00065105-00065416 it's it's the the presence of which kind
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00291-00065417-00065632 of accelerated the evolution so as to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00292-00065633-00065782 speak because they kind of are the ones
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00293-00065783-00066035 who created the humans of this world as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00294-00066036-00066250 as they're under things terrorism is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00295-00066251-00066431 there are no humans yes yes sorry sorry
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00296-00066432-00066593 yeah yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00297-00066594-00066863 um yeah uh so the the worst sentient
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00298-00066864-00067217 races uh already on the world the uh and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00299-00067218-00067517 the gun were already sent in so they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00300-00067518-00067775 were never changed by the round
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00301-00067776-00068194 um but uh sometime during the the first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00302-00068195-00068525 war of the the run and the the Jinn
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00303-00068526-00068813 um The Run started changing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00304-00068814-00069226 um the the sort of like semi-sentient uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00305-00069227-00069713 races so the Damned became terrans
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00306-00069714-00070085 um the uh ferals as that's that's all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00307-00070086-00070325 they're known as uh became uh the part
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00308-00070326-00070613 and uh I cannot actually remember off
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00309-00070614-00070793 the top of my head what the tauren were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00310-00070794-00070985 before they were changed
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00311-00070986-00071117 but it doesn't matter because the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00312-00071118-00071285 Towering went on a big old murdering
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00313-00071286-00071482 spree once they gained sentience and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00314-00071483-00071663 wiped out all of their uh ancestors
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00315-00071664-00071956 anyway which you have to respect yep
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00316-00071957-00072215 yeah I mean to be honest they're quite
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00317-00072216-00072473 violent the Tyrant here so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00318-00072474-00072803 and and absolutely deadly just thinking
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00319-00072804-00073265 back on that final epic uh battle in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00320-00073266-00073487 fifth book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00321-00073488-00073805 yes but I'm very curious let's talk
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00322-00073806-00074105 about characters and relationships for a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00323-00074106-00074423 little bit do you have any questions on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00324-00074424-00074950 the front oh yeah I do uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00325-00074951-00075161 uh how hard was it for you rob like you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00326-00075162-00075293 know when you're writing these books and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00327-00075294-00075538 especially because children and Kento
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00328-00075539-00075635 are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00329-00075636-00075869 you know they're set to the debut so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00330-00075870-00076043 late how hard is it to hold on to them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00331-00076044-00076276 or how was it selected not give us their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00332-00076277-00076391 input sorry you didn't give like a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00333-00076392-00076511 mention of them besides the sneak
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00334-00076512-00076649 Snippets of like Kent is probably dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00335-00076650-00076894 and silhouette is the is the girl who
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00336-00076895-00077021 changed everything or who ruined the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00337-00077022-00077350 world how hard was it in that regards
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00338-00077351-00077687 um it wasn't really because uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00339-00077688-00077861 uh the way that I wrote the books I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00340-00077862-00078119 wrote them in a Trilogy and then the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00341-00078120-00078425 duology so well I was writing the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00342-00078426-00078694 trilogy uh they were never anything more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00343-00078695-00078929 than sort of like children in my my head
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00344-00078930-00079181 they were sort of babies
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00345-00079182-00079391 um they never had specific characters or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00346-00079392-00079559 anything like that apart from the odd
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00347-00079560-00079925 bit of hey yeah sort of broke the world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00348-00079926-00080021 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00349-00080022-00080405 so it wasn't until I started writing sin
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00350-00080406-00080531 to the mother that I started actually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00351-00080532-00080812 building them as proper characters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00352-00080813-00081065 I already had obviously had a few
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00353-00081066-00081509 um signposts along the way uh that would
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00354-00081510-00081676 dictate where I was going with their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00355-00081677-00081832 characters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00356-00081833-00082138 um but there wasn't a lot there before I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00357-00082139-00082306 started writing sins of the mother so it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00358-00082307-00082600 wasn't too too hard holding back
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00359-00082601-00082925 um and then really sort of the one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00360-00082926-00083182 the the fun ones was sort of the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00361-00083183-00083375 death of Kento
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00362-00083376-00083626 um in in book two that that was the one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00363-00083627-00083879 where I I wanted to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00364-00083880-00084029 when I was writing book two I was like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00365-00084030-00084269 okay I want it to to very much feel like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00366-00084270-00084611 eska believes that Kinto is dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00367-00084612-00084923 um but the uh the way it's written the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00368-00084924-00085091 the audience the reader would be very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00369-00085092-00085447 much like but is she though
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00370-00085448-00085955 as uh speaking for myself there was the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00371-00085956-00086225 definite expectation that Kanto would be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00372-00086226-00086482 coming back after those first three
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00373-00086483-00086891 books and in a big way so when in book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00374-00086892-00087262 four a character speaks out hello mother
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00375-00087263-00087593 I think basically was her uh first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00376-00087594-00087779 entrance into the series the entrance
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00377-00087780-00087994 proper that is outside of you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00378-00087995-00088247 screaming with your first breath that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00379-00088248-00088517 moment was for me immediately yes he's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00380-00088518-00088723 finally gone there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00381-00088724-00088912 interestingly that's the one and only
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00382-00088913-00089243 time uh Kento calls Esco mother
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00383-00089244-00089537 um yes absolutely I I did consider
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00384-00089538-00089753 changing it because she literally never
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00385-00089754-00089879 calls him over because she doesn't think
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00386-00089880-00090023 for another but at the same time it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00387-00090024-00090432 like but it was too good to take out
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00388-00090433-00090737 nice little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00389-00090738-00090935 um red herring as well because obviously
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00390-00090936-00091085 the the chapter ends of hello mother and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00391-00091086-00091271 you're like ah but wait is it Cyril who
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00392-00091272-00091385 is it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00393-00091386-00091697 it works really great because I think it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00394-00091698-00091894 has this very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00395-00091895-00092375 very strong ironic sub-tone that it that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00396-00092376-00092549 just the line is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00397-00092550-00092771 powerful it's good stuff
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00398-00092772-00092944 and the build up as well as well right
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00399-00092945-00093059 because there's a buildup of like we're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00400-00093060-00093179 thinking it's going to be serious it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00401-00093180-00093287 going to be certainly you know all the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00402-00093288-00093491 talk is obviously all about certain 19
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00403-00093492-00093706 chapters if I'm not wrong it leads up to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00404-00093707-00093881 that line and then you you know we
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00405-00093882-00094205 certainly get Kendo uh Phil may I ask a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00406-00094206-00094343 question if that's okay
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00407-00094344-00094715 by all means rob you never really let us
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00408-00094716-00095062 know how Kento and cyrilleth really felt
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00409-00095063-00095332 about eska and obviously their emotions
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00410-00095333-00095494 are going to be very complicated
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00411-00095495-00095668 silhouette has the advantage that she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00412-00095669-00095950 knew eska all her life but of course for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00413-00095951-00096173 the brief 12 13 years when I scheduled
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00414-00096174-00096359 all 20 years or so when escrow just up
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00415-00096360-00096568 and left Kento on the other hand never
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00416-00096569-00096832 really knew eska but she somehow in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00417-00096833-00096959 book I remember she mentioned that she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00418-00096960-00097097 has memories of her and then of course
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00419-00097098-00097288 the issue is filled in with the Rand you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00420-00097289-00097391 know because she truly thinks that the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00421-00097392-00097618 Rand as her mother in your view and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00422-00097619-00097744 because you're never really given their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00423-00097745-00098009 povs we we get we get a sense of what
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00424-00098010-00098141 they feel but we never truly understand
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00425-00098142-00098356 how or what the emotions are towards
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00426-00098357-00098561 this car could you care to reveal about
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00427-00098562-00098818 what they as the writer that what did
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00428-00098819-00098993 you think or how they felt about her you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00429-00098994-00099185 know knowing how complicated sky is and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00430-00099186-00099329 how everyone feels about that style like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00431-00099330-00099521 not even like tamura our heart have like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00432-00099522-00099868 a clear-cut opinion about her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00433-00099869-00099941 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00434-00099942-00100193 it's yes it's it's kind of a hard one to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00435-00100194-00100643 uh tons of because it's because the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00436-00100644-00100888 the story was always through Oscar's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00437-00100889-00101165 point of view I never I never really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00438-00101166-00101356 tried putting myself in the head of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00439-00101357-00101512 other characters like I would if I was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00440-00101513-00101638 writing from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00441-00101639-00101879 there point of view like if when I was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00442-00101880-00102088 writing like the the ties That Bind you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00443-00102089-00102341 know I was even a book one I was like I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00444-00102342-00102490 was constantly putting myself okay who's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00445-00102491-00102658 whose head am I in this time I'm in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00446-00102659-00102821 blackthorne's head or I'm in desert's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00447-00102822-00103001 head or whatever
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00448-00103002-00103156 um whereas with this one it was all very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00449-00103157-00103408 much just focused on eska's point of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00450-00103409-00103499 view
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00451-00103500-00103721 um especially because she's the type of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00452-00103722-00103871 person who
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00453-00103872-00104218 kind of doesn't really it's not that she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00454-00104219-00104356 believes that the world revolves around
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00455-00104357-00104608 her but she will make the world revolve
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00456-00104609-00104782 around her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00457-00104783-00104875 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00458-00104876-00105149 like everyone serious calls her out for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00459-00105150-00105323 you know you make everything about you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00460-00105324-00105658 that that is exactly what eska does
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00461-00105659-00105773 um she inserts herself into every
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00462-00105774-00106063 situation so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00463-00106064-00106481 how uh Sarah and Kento really sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00464-00106482-00106660 like feel about her well I mean
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00465-00106661-00106921 um Kento
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00466-00106922-00107183 yeah there's sort of like it's the weird
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00467-00107183-00107351 situation where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00468-00107352-00107554 Kento
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00469-00107555-00107897 sees the the Rand Mesler as her mother
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00470-00107898-00108113 um but she she recognizes the escrow is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00471-00108114-00108352 her birth mother and it's that I guess a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00472-00108353-00108652 desire to get to know her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00473-00108653-00109163 um even as she doesn't want to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00474-00109164-00109523 be her child as as sort of like as such
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00475-00109524-00109751 but it is there's still a desire to get
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00476-00109752-00109907 to know her to know where she came from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00477-00109908-00110110 basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00478-00110111-00110699 um and uh as as for Syria uh Syria loves
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00479-00110700-00110921 eska as a mother
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00480-00110922-00111245 um because she is uh it's just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00481-00111246-00111407 um you know serious it's a very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00482-00111408-00111658 complicated child
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00483-00111659-00112060 and woman later in her life
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00484-00112061-00112265 um and she doesn't really know how to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00485-00112266-00112427 express herself
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00486-00112428-00112613 um and a part of that is due to her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00487-00112614-00112883 upbringing with with eska
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00488-00112883-00112984 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00489-00112985-00113386 uh but yeah no it was very much uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00490-00113388-00113686 there is a lot of love both between eska
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00491-00113688-00113981 and Sarah and Sarah fineska because they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00492-00113982-00114358 are the more than Kento was certainly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00493-00114359-00114634 serial of is esker's daughter they are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00494-00114635-00114916 very similar in a lot of ways
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00495-00114917-00115186 um so yeah I hope that's uh a decent
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00496-00115188-00115384 amount of function for you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00497-00115385-00115516 yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00498-00115517-00115763 I think one of the most
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00499-00115764-00116081 um powerful moments in the book and one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00500-00116082-00116375 of those defining moments both when it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00501-00116376-00116584 comes to the relationship between esk
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00502-00116585-00117016 and cyrillit and esken Kanto is in book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00503-00117017-00117436 four when we see eska choose to help
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00504-00117438-00117958 cyrillus over Kanto and to me the fact
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00505-00117959-00118240 that she chooses one daughter over the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00506-00118241-00118523 other and she chooses the daughter she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00507-00118524-00118771 kept over the daughter she actually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00508-00118772-00119110 abandoned it complicates in the most
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00509-00119111-00119393 delicious ways that uh the relationship
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00510-00119394-00119736 that three-way uh mother daughter
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00511-00119738-00119969 triangle if you will
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00512-00119970-00120334 it is truly amazing but mindfest also
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00513-00120335-00120604 goes towards one of the other
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00514-00120605-00120952 key relationships in escrow's life and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00515-00120953-00121210 that is the relationship between her and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00516-00121211-00121528 Joseph I think it's one of the defining
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00517-00121529-00121739 relationships of these books even as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00518-00121740-00121865 Joseph
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00519-00121866-00122195 he kind of fostered the Wayside a little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00520-00122196-00122458 or rather to the background as the books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00521-00122459-00122573 continue
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00522-00122574-00122915 as the first book starts off it seems
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00523-00122916-00123208 like a very one or one directional
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00524-00123209-00123508 relationship with eska gaining a lot
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00525-00123509-00123947 from Joseph and little giving little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00526-00123948-00124043 back
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00527-00124044-00124427 but as the relationship shifts around
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00528-00124428-00124595 the books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00529-00124596-00125071 we reach a combination of that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00530-00125072-00125327 relationship if you will which
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00531-00125328-00125752 complicates things to the point when I'd
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00532-00125753-00125986 say
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00533-00125988-00126421 it dissenters the relationship it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00534-00126422-00126827 shows that what we took for granted
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00535-00126828-00127060 the way things between Joseph and Esco
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00536-00127061-00127145 were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00537-00127146-00127589 was very very complex very much more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00538-00127590-00127816 complex than we thought with the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00539-00127817-00128128 revelation of the queen of Ice and Fire
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00540-00128129-00128645 that it wasn't her who put the uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00541-00128646-00128878 emotional command for iska to kill
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00542-00128879-00129016 herself
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00543-00129017-00129383 did you have that as an idea from the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00544-00129383-00129623 get-go or was that a Twist you came up
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00545-00129624-00129719 with
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00546-00129720-00130133 all the way into book five
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00547-00130133-00130373 um it was I can't remember exactly where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00548-00130374-00130589 that that sort of twist came out but it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00549-00130590-00130714 was uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00550-00130715-00130871 it wasn't there for the get-go for this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00551-00130872-00131123 in fact okay so um when I when I first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00552-00131124-00131435 wrote it uh wrote book one and when I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00553-00131436-00131602 was moving into book two he knows this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00554-00131603-00131740 because he read the original version of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00555-00131741-00131951 booktube which was terrible
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00556-00131952-00132383 um Joseph didn't come back he was dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00557-00132384-00132587 I said that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00558-00132588-00132875 um and it wasn't until I realized that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00559-00132876-00133085 I'd gone so wrong with book two and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00560-00133086-00133402 needed to to rewrite it completely
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00561-00133403-00133583 um that I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00562-00133584-00133763 changed a lot of the things that were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00563-00133764-00133978 going on and and suddenly things started
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00564-00133979-00134140 making more sense in my head and fitting
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00565-00134141-00134359 into place better and one of those was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00566-00134360-00134621 bringing Joseph back basically making
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00567-00134622-00134843 him not dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00568-00134844-00134909 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00569-00134910-00135275 and from there on his part in the story
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00570-00135276-00135557 started growing a bit bigger and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00571-00135558-00135683 paralleling
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00572-00135684-00136031 um in many ways and intersecting again
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00573-00136032-00136175 um so I can't remember exactly where it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00574-00136176-00136516 was but the it wasn't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00575-00136517-00136769 it wasn't a revelation that only
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00576-00136770-00136990 occurred in book five
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00577-00136991-00137075 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00578-00137076-00137290 because you can see sort of like the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00579-00137291-00137537 seeds that I I'd actually planted
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00580-00137538-00137795 um in book one because because uh the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00581-00137796-00137951 way that I wrote the books I wrote the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00582-00137952-00138178 first three books before I released them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00583-00138179-00138359 um any of them so it gave me the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00584-00138360-00138557 opportunity to go back and add things
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00585-00138558-00138845 into book one that uh weren't originally
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00586-00138846-00138983 going to be there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00587-00138984-00139114 um once I had sort of like finished book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00588-00139115-00139295 three and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00589-00139296-00139601 one of those things is uh where you sort
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00590-00139602-00139745 of like towards the end of book one you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00591-00139746-00140075 see that uh eska can't actually decide
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00592-00140076-00140452 whether or not her her love for Yosef is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00593-00140453-00140621 real or if it's something that he
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00594-00140622-00140783 planted in her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00595-00140784-00141095 um after she tried to kill herself
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00596-00141096-00141304 um that first time after and you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00597-00141305-00141485 then you sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00598-00141486-00141664 as you come to book five you realize oh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00599-00141665-00141845 wait so the seeds were already planted
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00600-00141846-00142097 there Joseph was actually the one who
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00601-00142098-00142301 put that sort of that the call of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00602-00142302-00142427 void that emotional command to kill
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00603-00142428-00142607 herself and then changed his mind at
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00604-00142608-00142739 some point
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00605-00142740-00142811 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00606-00142812-00143039 pulled her back from the edge and then
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00607-00143040-00143251 you know essentially
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00608-00143252-00143614 did he make her then love him
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00609-00143615-00143795 um you know obviously not romantic love
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00610-00143796-00144197 but you know that sort of uh yeah love
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00611-00144198-00144478 for him did that come from him so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00612-00144479-00144683 there's a lot of that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00613-00144684-00144971 emotional manipulation
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00614-00144972-00145054 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00615-00145055-00145385 which is it's part of the the complexity
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00616-00145386-00145739 of their relationship and why eska just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00617-00145740-00145943 why she's just [__] up as she's to be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00618-00145944-00146131 honest
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00619-00146132-00146399 with her character can be you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00620-00146400-00146825 traced back to those early uh formative
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00621-00146826-00147047 experiences if you're and I'm not going
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00622-00147048-00147535 to ask you if uh you know either way
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00623-00147536-00147928 what the sequence of events is there in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00624-00147929-00148151 terms of whether the love is real or not
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00625-00148152-00148354 but I am going to ask you do you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00626-00148355-00148619 for yourself how things stand
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00627-00148620-00148757 does it matter
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00628-00148758-00148889 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00629-00148890-00149304 [Laughter]
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00630-00149305-00149578 it's it's literally a question that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00631-00149579-00149837 doesn't matter the what matters is the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00632-00149838-00149999 doubt is there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00633-00150000-00150083 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00634-00150084-00150401 and you know that's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00635-00150402-00150743 as far as esker is concerned that doubt
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00636-00150744-00150923 is why she could never fully trust
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00637-00150924-00151090 yourself even though she loves him she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00638-00151091-00151390 can't stop herself from loving him
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00639-00151391-00151589 um but then she there'll always be that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00640-00151590-00151816 that suspicion that doubt
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00641-00151817-00152033 um which is a a poison to the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00642-00152034-00152273 relationship basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00643-00152274-00152526 which I think you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00644-00152527-00152854 manage to parallel very well with the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00645-00152855-00153154 relationship and book four the the kind
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00646-00153155-00153466 of love or at least lust she feels for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00647-00153467-00153695 uh the merchant whose name I'm
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00648-00153696-00154002 misplacing right now but yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00649-00154003-00154390 thank you he too manages to manipulate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00650-00154391-00154709 her through emotional magic in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00651-00154710-00155002 what is uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00652-00155003-00155290 it's something that you know as a reader
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00653-00155291-00155435 isn't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00654-00155436-00155647 mushing together well with her character
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00655-00155648-00155909 and you're just waiting for her to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00656-00155910-00156173 realize what the hell is going on so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00657-00156174-00156478 it's very well executed there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00658-00156479-00156833 thank you um yeah that was uh I have to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00659-00156834-00157126 thank my Alpha readers for that uh that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00660-00157127-00157373 was originally it went a very different
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00661-00157374-00157571 sort of way but my operations were just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00662-00157572-00157828 like that this isn't gelling quite right
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00663-00157829-00158273 um and it wasn't until uh here and uh my
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00664-00158274-00158471 sister Rianne and my Ralph readers are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00665-00158472-00158621 actually sort of like pointed it out to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00666-00158622-00158764 me that that wasn't quite General right
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00667-00158765-00159023 that I stopped and looked back at and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00668-00159024-00159149 went oh I'd already actually put the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00669-00159150-00159419 seeds in it to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00670-00159420-00159628 um to work the way that it does now that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00671-00159629-00160001 that makes sense that's really like aha
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00672-00160002-00160163 um I just sort of I hadn't pulled the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00673-00160164-00160333 trigger on it for some reason
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00674-00160334-00160709 well so thank you to Mia and the other
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00675-00160710-00161039 it was it was you know it's yeah there's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00676-00161040-00161266 I was just happy with them that scene
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00677-00161267-00161399 did work quite as well but yeah I was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00678-00161400-00161537 just happy with this book too much like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00679-00161538-00161681 I didn't I didn't have any complaints
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00680-00161682-00161801 with this book you know Rob will know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00681-00161802-00161939 that I will otherwise have lots of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00682-00161940-00162154 things to tell them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00683-00162155-00162340 but Rob I I do have a quick side
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00684-00162341-00162569 question as well you know the geology
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00685-00162570-00162790 the original trilogy only focuses on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00686-00162791-00162904 eska and you know her battles but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00687-00162905-00163121 ideology you know kind of brings forth
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00688-00163122-00163289 three incredibly complex women
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00689-00163290-00163433 characters you know the first are the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00690-00163434-00163607 two daughters in book four still that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00691-00163608-00163840 and Ken turbo and book five we finally
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00692-00163841-00164107 meet less Ray and throughout the series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00693-00164108-00164495 esca bad mouths risk lesser like no end
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00694-00164496-00164735 like for her every bad thing in her life
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00695-00164736-00164914 which has happened is through lessery's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00696-00164915-00165095 fault like bless Ray is the worst person
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00697-00165096-00165340 and of course eska just hates her and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00698-00165341-00165461 hates her and says that she hated me
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00699-00165462-00165652 from the start uh of course you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00700-00165653-00165809 knowing his cup until then we kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00701-00165810-00165952 realized that that might not be the case
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00702-00165953-00166139 and when we meet Leslie we see that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00703-00166140-00166337 she's an incredibly complex and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00704-00166338-00166535 fascinating woman and she has a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00705-00166536-00166714 backstory because she kind of implies a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00706-00166715-00166852 little bit of it like that she kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00707-00166853-00167009 hid it from the iron Legion because of a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00708-00167010-00167159 certain thing which had happened to her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00709-00167160-00167339 like you know her half of her face the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00710-00167340-00167507 powers that were granted to her had kind
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00711-00167508-00167716 of ruined her face as well
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00712-00167717-00167909 did you have a battery like you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00713-00167910-00168035 obviously you didn't plan to show her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00714-00168036-00168154 backstory but did you have a backstory
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00715-00168155-00168376 formulated in your mind about Leslie or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00716-00168377-00168490 was it just that like you said you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00717-00168491-00168640 because you had planted the seeds that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00718-00168641-00168845 you had to come up with something to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00719-00168846-00169025 kind of make make sense of what her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00720-00169026-00169571 conflict with uh was going to be fine
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00721-00169572-00169901 sorry Rob but uh just because this fits
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00722-00169902-00170135 very well with the question did you at
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00723-00170136-00170561 any point uh feel tempted to actually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00724-00170562-00171125 add let's say earlier on in the series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00725-00171126-00171202 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00726-00171203-00171478 so I I was never tempted to add literary
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00727-00171479-00171743 earlier um I always knew she was going
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00728-00171744-00171887 to be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00729-00171888-00172151 um a big part of the the finale of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00730-00172152-00172337 entire series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00731-00172338-00172583 um but I you know she was certainly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00732-00172584-00172823 never at any point going to be in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00733-00172824-00173002 the first three books she was only ever
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00734-00173003-00173183 going to be in the the follow-up two
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00735-00173184-00173309 books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00736-00173310-00173381 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00737-00173382-00173609 and as I was writing since the mother I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00738-00173610-00173866 realized that she just she didn't fit in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00739-00173867-00174028 it basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00740-00174029-00174245 um so there was there was the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00741-00174246-00174413 possibility that I might have added her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00742-00174414-00174659 in a little bit earlier her part was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00743-00174660-00174826 always going to be mostly in desperate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00744-00174827-00174964 and heart but there was a possibility
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00745-00174965-00175163 she might turn up and sing to the mother
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00746-00175164-00175390 but she just didn't fit in the The
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00747-00175391-00175654 Narrative um because it's a very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00748-00175655-00176026 it's a very sort of tight fast-paced uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00749-00176027-00176237 race through the world basically and it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00750-00176238-00176369 just wouldn't have she wouldn't fit in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00751-00176370-00176488 at all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00752-00176489-00176554 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00753-00176555-00176885 but I did have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00754-00176886-00177354 ideas for her her backstory from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00755-00177355-00177719 uh the point of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00756-00177720-00178007 where where her and Esther's stories
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00757-00178008-00178223 divulge basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00758-00178224-00178469 um it wasn't something that I'd put too
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00759-00178470-00178666 much thought into but I sort of like had
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00760-00178667-00178985 the the idea that okay I wanted her to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00761-00178986-00179111 be either sort of like yes he was the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00762-00179112-00179254 queen of Ice and Fire how did you get
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00763-00179255-00179485 there and you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00764-00179486-00179831 uh should there was there was a lot of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00765-00179832-00180004 parallels as well with the iron Legion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00766-00180005-00180316 you know that he experimented on on all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00767-00180317-00180466 of the children so he experimented on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00768-00180467-00180599 her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00769-00180600-00180790 that's part of why she's the the queen
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00770-00180791-00181145 of Ice and Fire because hey uh pyromancy
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00771-00181146-00181409 um but I'd never gone into too much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00772-00181410-00181840 detail on any of it I I left it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00773-00181841-00182152 up in the air most of the details up in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00774-00182153-00182321 the air for a good reason because of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00775-00182322-00182509 way that I was writing the entire series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00776-00182510-00182831 The more stuff I left up in the air the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00777-00182832-00183004 easier it was to then pull all the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00778-00183005-00183173 pieces together
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00779-00183174-00183299 um into something that made sense
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00780-00183300-00183545 towards the end whereas if I'd gone into
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00781-00183546-00183797 too much detail of them I might find
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00782-00183798-00183988 that you know suddenly I had a square
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00783-00183989-00184169 peg trying to fit into a round hole and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00784-00184170-00184337 it just wouldn't work
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00785-00184338-00184426 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00786-00184427-00184690 so yeah little little bits here and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00787-00184691-00184961 there of where what I wanted her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00788-00184962-00185225 story to be like and you know some of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00789-00185226-00185333 the things should have gone through but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00790-00185334-00185507 nothing nothing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00791-00185508-00185735 set in stone as it were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00792-00185736-00185885 it kind of works because you know it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00793-00185886-00186011 just builds up the Intriguing in our
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00794-00186012-00186178 mindset like especially for me I know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00795-00186179-00186304 I've bugged you about this like Leslie
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00796-00186305-00186431 was this really fascinating character
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00797-00186432-00186538 and I would always want to know more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00798-00186539-00186749 about her like what was her luxury what
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00799-00186750-00186923 was her story why was she you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00800-00186924-00187085 supposedly hating eska so much or how
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00801-00187086-00187252 was conflict with her and of course how
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00802-00187253-00187385 did she Escape die in Legion because I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00803-00187386-00187619 only infected book three mentions that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00804-00187620-00187769 he is she's the one who got away from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00805-00187770-00187901 him like he's never been able to trace
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00806-00187902-00188128 her so that kind of proves that she was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00807-00188129-00188452 more than capable of you know that eska
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00808-00188453-00188578 and Joseph combined because they could
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00809-00188579-00188764 never truly Escape his reach but she was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00810-00188765-00188975 the one who was smart enough and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00811-00188976-00189131 magically powerful enough to escape his
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00812-00189132-00189388 reach build her own Empire and stay the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00813-00189389-00189533 hell away from him so that way you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00814-00189534-00189851 she could do what she wanted
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00815-00189852-00190211 um well you know she uh she escaped by
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00816-00190212-00190414 um murdering an entire Squad full of uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00817-00190415-00190654 soldiers and running away
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00818-00190655-00190776 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00819-00190777-00191038 appreciate a woman who can do that yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00820-00191039-00191314 yeah exactly she left the ball before it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00821-00191315-00191554 ended so that's part of how she escaped
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00822-00191555-00191699 um but how she kept her head of the iron
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00823-00191700-00191933 Legion and managed to build an Empire uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00824-00191934-00192154 or a kingdom uh well that's that's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00825-00192155-00192563 another story I'm not going to tell
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00826-00192564-00192778 not only did she build an Empire she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00827-00192779-00192964 built it on a continent full of monsters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00828-00192965-00193151 giant monsters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00829-00193152-00193366 it does feel very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00830-00193367-00193499 um there's a series of games called
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00831-00193500-00193702 Monster Hunter you're probably familiar
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00832-00193703-00194045 but it does feel like I was reading
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00833-00194046-00194299 something set up in that Universe almost
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00834-00194300-00194585 reading uh when when I scanned it up on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00835-00194586-00194993 that continent of uh well I said fire
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00836-00194994-00195407 yes yes the content of Rolf yes I I am a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00837-00195408-00195557 fan of the monster hunter games I'm
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00838-00195558-00195719 currently playing Monster Hunter rise on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00839-00195720-00195899 the Xbox uh with a friend of mine in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00840-00195900-00196133 fact sort of jump on a couple of times a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00841-00196134-00196404 week and go hunt some big monsters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00842-00196405-00196757 they are very fun games but speaking of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00843-00196758-00197183 Monsters uh that is uh master class in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00844-00197184-00197413 Segways what were the most rewarding
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00845-00197414-00197675 antagonistic relationships you got to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00846-00197676-00198059 ride through the war internal series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00847-00198060-00198166 um yeah I'm taking interesting
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00848-00198167-00198352 relationships well uh you know I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00849-00198353-00198526 actually really enjoyed
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00850-00198527-00198947 um Kobe and uh andeska
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00851-00198948-00199109 um there was there was something a lot
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00852-00199110-00199366 of fun um about writing Kobe's uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00853-00199367-00199588 storyline back in uh the first three
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00854-00199589-00199709 books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00855-00199710-00199919 um with the fact that they kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00856-00199920-00200147 they they were both they both very much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00857-00200148-00200345 loved silver
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00858-00200346-00200431 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00859-00200432-00200704 and in many ways they both kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00860-00200705-00200957 blamed the other one as well as each
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00861-00200958-00201443 other for for uh for uh Silver's death
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00862-00201444-00201533 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00863-00201534-00201737 so there was a lot of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00864-00201738-00201935 there was a lot of tension between them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00865-00201936-00202133 and you know there was there was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00866-00202134-00202235 obviously there was never going to be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00867-00202236-00202552 any sort of real reconciliation
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00868-00202553-00202637 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00869-00202638-00202847 and yet they had to sort of come
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00870-00202848-00203009 together and rely on each other towards
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00871-00203010-00203140 the end
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00872-00203141-00203290 um so I really enjoyed writing that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00873-00203291-00203525 relationship between them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00874-00203526-00203602 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00875-00203603-00203783 and I would say the iron Legion as well
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00876-00203784-00203999 but to be honest uh one of the things
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00877-00204000-00204137 about the iron Legion was it wasn't his
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00878-00204138-00204281 relationship with anybody else that was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00879-00204282-00204533 fun to write it was just behind Legion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00880-00204534-00204851 um it gives a massive tool
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00881-00204852-00205031 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00882-00205032-00205360 but something very horrific about him
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00883-00205361-00205501 because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00884-00205502-00205786 despite the fact that this world has
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00885-00205787-00206075 Gods and Monsters and Nightmares
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00886-00206076-00206536 he being at once human and also so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00887-00206537-00206825 removed from Humanity
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00888-00206826-00207071 in just about everywhere outside of his
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00889-00207071-00207346 you know his desire to actually live
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00890-00207348-00207634 forever as a Young Man
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00891-00207635-00208012 it it awakens in your sort of Primal
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00892-00208013-00208373 Fear of what [__] up things humans can
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00893-00208373-00208505 do to each other
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00894-00208506-00208631 but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00895-00208632-00208840 um especially I it's one of the things I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00896-00208841-00208996 wanted to do with him actually I I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00897-00208998-00209332 wanted him to be this sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00898-00209333-00209621 powerful figure that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00899-00209621-00209927 even gods were scared of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00900-00209928-00210310 um and uh and yet he truly believed in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00901-00210311-00210539 what he was doing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00902-00210540-00210808 um and it might not be he was doing it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00903-00210809-00211019 for good reasons but he truly believed
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00904-00211019-00211091 it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00905-00211092-00211355 um and it's that sort of sort of zealous
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00906-00211356-00211601 passion which can make uh characters uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00907-00211602-00211769 quite terrifying there is a lot of John
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00908-00211769-00212291 irenicus from Baldur's Gate to uh Legion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00909-00212292-00212482 um because that was one of the things
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00910-00212483-00212663 I'd love Baldur's Gate to back in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00911-00212664-00212998 day uh it's gonna be what 25 30 years
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00912-00213000-00213239 old or something by this point yes
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00913-00213240-00213563 absolutely and I don't know if you're as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00914-00213564-00213821 excited about Baldur's Gate tree as I am
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00915-00213821-00214084 I've been playing The Early Access
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00916-00214085-00214379 edition of that game since it came out I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00917-00214380-00214739 have I think near nearly 100 hours in it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00918-00214740-00214927 already and that's just the First Act
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00919-00214928-00215158 it's a lot of fun something to look
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00920-00215159-00215363 forward to in August
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00921-00215364-00215596 that's that's impressive I mean it does
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00922-00215598-00215765 still pale in comparison to the boulders
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00923-00215766-00215932 get two hours I must have racked up I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00924-00215933-00216089 own that game in something like seven
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00925-00216090-00216448 different formats
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00926-00216450-00216682 it's ridiculous but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00927-00216683-00216844 um I am excited for all this game free
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00928-00216846-00217025 I'm looking forward to playing that uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00929-00217026-00217210 but yeah no it was it was always John
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00930-00217211-00217439 ironicus from uh from Boulders gate to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00931-00217440-00217589 there's something just terrifying about
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00932-00217590-00217805 that character and I loved him from the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00933-00217806-00217969 very beginning because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00934-00217969-00218165 it's the fact that he's just willing to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00935-00218166-00218387 torture people to to experiment on them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00936-00218388-00218746 to to change them and yeah he's also
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00937-00218748-00218951 just ridiculously powerful for no
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00938-00218952-00219179 particular reason he just is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00939-00219180-00219389 um yeah so yeah there was definitely a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00940-00219390-00219575 lot of a lot of John ironicus you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00941-00219576-00219671 going back to the sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00942-00219671-00219839 Inspirations where does it all come from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00943-00219840-00220115 yeah a lot of John ironicus in in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00944-00220116-00220360 iron Legion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00945-00220361-00220684 absolutely and he is definitely one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00946-00220685-00220967 the most memorable uh antagonists of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00947-00220967-00221405 series The Other character
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00948-00221406-00221777 far less human as as far from Human as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00949-00221778-00222041 you could have probably placed him is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00950-00222042-00222448 well the one they call the maker and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00951-00222450-00222844 um he began as this eye
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00952-00222846-00223355 in the sky in in a rift looking down
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00953-00223356-00223619 when did he become something more to you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00954-00223619-00223894 when did you know that he would be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00955-00223896-00224142 an antagonistic presence in the series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00956-00224144-00224519 did you just have the eye there for a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00957-00224519-00224771 bit in terms of you know cool things I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00958-00224771-00224992 can have in a book or was it always
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00959-00224994-00225373 going to be uh [__] up Eldritch
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00960-00225373-00225892 monstrosity from Worlds Beyond
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00961-00225894-00226144 um yeah so in book one it was very much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00962-00226146-00226429 just I in the sky hey that sounds cool
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00963-00226430-00226775 uh it wasn't until book two uh I started
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00964-00226776-00227027 putting pulling together the pieces and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00965-00227028-00227291 realized that okay so where do the Rand
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00966-00227292-00227555 and the Gin actually come from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00967-00227556-00227729 um you know why they you know oh yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00968-00227730-00227896 they're in the moons why or they were in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00969-00227898-00228023 the moons why were they trapped in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00970-00228023-00228119 moons who put them in there and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00971-00228119-00228323 everything and that's when the pieces
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00972-00228323-00228484 started to come together and I realized
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00973-00228485-00228694 that oh I already had this giant eye in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00974-00228696-00228941 the sky that I put there I could start
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00975-00228942-00229169 using that so it was it was somewhere in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00976-00229169-00229475 book two that I realized Okay so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00977-00229476-00229744 the maker is going to be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00978-00229746-00230003 a presence at some point within the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00979-00230004-00230206 books and I already knew that at that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00980-00230207-00230363 point um it wasn't going to be book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00981-00230364-00230656 three because I already had my
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00982-00230657-00230896 um sort of like end game for book three
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00983-00230898-00231119 so it was going to have to be the big
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00984-00231119-00231323 part or one of the big Parts in in book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00985-00231323-00231503 four or five
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00986-00231504-00231767 um so yeah I I realized in book two that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00987-00231767-00232031 it was going to be this sort of Eldritch
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00988-00232032-00232246 you know Eldritch style Terror type
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00989-00232248-00232487 thing from from the void basically from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00990-00232488-00232787 Beyond but yeah uh in book one it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00991-00232788-00233153 just something cool I could put in there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00992-00233154-00233441 is the Eldritch thing sorry uh is the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00993-00233442-00233603 maker the only one of its kind I know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00994-00233604-00233734 it's heavily implied that it's only one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00995-00233735-00234041 of its kind in in in this in its own
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00996-00234042-00234298 Universe Rob but is it truly the only
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00997-00234300-00234479 one of its kind or are there something
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00998-00234480-00234610 more like it out there in different
3tvV7qtL3Jy-00999-00234611-00234946 parallel universes
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01000-00234948-00235187 [Laughter]
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01001-00235188-00235391 there are no parallel universes there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01002-00235392-00235613 are Realms there are Realms that's true
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01003-00235614-00235765 because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01004-00235766-00235991 mentions quite a few of them in book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01005-00235992-00236291 four like the one she sees uh which are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01006-00236292-00236453 references to your other world if I'm
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01007-00236454-00236717 not wrong there is one wall uh yes
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01008-00236717-00236927 because there's one which is mentioned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01009-00236928-00237142 which I clearly uh remember is where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01010-00237144-00237292 they where she said that I saw a world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01011-00237294-00237460 where they worship the Stars which I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01012-00237461-00237587 believe was a reference to the Mortal
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01013-00237588-00237784 techniques because they always you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01014-00237785-00237994 worship the Stars there's one wall that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01015-00237996-00238169 is mentioned where the there's a dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01016-00238169-00238463 rise which I think is a reference to the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01017-00238464-00238703 first Earth Saga and then there's a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01018-00238704-00238877 there's a world which is mentioned which
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01019-00238878-00239021 you haven't published yet but I have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01020-00239021-00239134 read that so which is why I'm not
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01021-00239135-00239255 commenting on it because it's not
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01022-00239256-00239417 something which should leaders and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01023-00239417-00239531 viewers will know about but that was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01024-00239532-00239753 that was a clear reference to that uh I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01025-00239754-00239867 don't know if you call that Philip like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01026-00239867-00240017 there's this this world which he
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01027-00240017-00240184 mentions
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01028-00240185-00240521 I I am absolutely Clueless
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01029-00240521-00240701 there's like a there's like a waste I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01030-00240702-00240844 don't know what Mahir is talking about
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01031-00240846-00241134 he's just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01032-00241135-00241379 this is what comes when I read too much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01033-00241380-00241505 of his books but there is there's like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01034-00241506-00241667 there's a clear couple of lines in you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01035-00241667-00241829 know incidental mother which I remember
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01036-00241830-00241967 like Sarah talks about like you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01037-00241967-00242146 that when she portals through she looks
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01038-00242148-00242296 at other walls because she kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01039-00242298-00242423 that's how she develops this Theory and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01040-00242423-00242567 there's if you and I don't remember
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01041-00242567-00242723 which chapter it is but there is like a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01042-00242723-00242891 clear reference to a world which she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01043-00242892-00242981 says like you know where the people
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01044-00242982-00243137 worship the stars and there's a clear
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01045-00243138-00243292 reference to a world where she said like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01046-00243294-00243437 you know there is a the word when the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01047-00243438-00243592 dead arising because if there's been so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01048-00243594-00243941 much blood shell which in my theory is a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01049-00243942-00244121 reference to is Rob's first six books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01050-00244121-00244282 the first third Saga because there's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01051-00244283-00244469 like the you know they everybody just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01052-00244469-00244703 kills each other in those books and in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01053-00244704-00244937 the Mortal techniques worlds where uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01054-00244938-00245141 people worship the stars but technically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01055-00245142-00245308 not the God I mean they worship the gods
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01056-00245309-00245434 but they also worship the stars and so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01057-00245435-00245567 that's that's his criteria out there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01058-00245567-00245908 about that it's very weird
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01059-00245909-00246160 this channel is not liable for any of me
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01060-00246161-00246469 here's uh you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01061-00246469-00246784 I am never confirming nor denying but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01062-00246785-00247151 his suspicions so there we go
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01063-00247152-00247306 perfectly Fair
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01064-00247307-00247546 yeah do you have any questions about the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01065-00247548-00247931 antagonists on uh any interesting ones
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01066-00247932-00248182 you can bring up uh about the characters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01067-00248183-00248356 yes there is one more thing and I don't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01068-00248357-00248687 know Rob your feel free to to to decline
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01069-00248688-00248782 it because I know this is something
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01070-00248783-00249077 which is dear God he he's a cruel person
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01071-00249078-00249310 I'll say this sir let's father because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01072-00249311-00249503 we know who kento's father is you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01073-00249504-00249671 they they are a parent but serious
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01074-00249671-00249821 father Rob
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01075-00249821-00250103 they call two different names Rio in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01076-00250104-00250337 some aspects and win and they're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01077-00250338-00250703 mentioned to be having extra teeth
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01078-00250704-00250877 now
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01079-00250878-00250996 uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01080-00250998-00251237 this is again something from his first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01081-00251238-00251446 series in his first series the first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01082-00251448-00251644 Earth there is a different sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01083-00251646-00251908 beings who live called The Dru and and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01084-00251909-00252077 properly script me if a pronunciation is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01085-00252078-00252346 wrong they're said to have extra teeth
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01086-00252348-00252503 when they smile they look they look like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01087-00252504-00252706 humans except when they smile because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01088-00252707-00252982 when they smile there there's a vast
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01089-00252983-00253103 amount of teeth
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01090-00253104-00253492 and that term real or win there's also a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01091-00253494-00253679 character called Rio win in the first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01092-00253680-00253877 Earth world who is supposedly so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01093-00253878-00254177 powerful and being locked away this is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01094-00254178-00254303 just me reading too much of the first
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01095-00254304-00254555 first third books so apologies to all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01096-00254556-00254801 the Rob any comments on that and your
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01097-00254802-00255077 feel free to say I'm crazy
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01098-00255078-00255460 I have no comment okay that's fine
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01099-00255461-00255725 that's very fair well
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01100-00255726-00255808 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01101-00255809-00256073 what should we move on to next me here
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01102-00256073-00256367 maybe the world and uh business
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01103-00256367-00256553 characters like just the World building
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01104-00256554-00256673 and the magic system if that's okay
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01105-00256673-00256792 because Senator rob you had mentioned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01106-00256794-00257032 like the crystal uh dead bodies
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01107-00257033-00257225 crystallized dead body so I was just I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01108-00257226-00257339 was just had a quick question about that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01109-00257340-00257573 is that okay Philip by the way
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01110-00257573-00257771 by all means
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01111-00257771-00257939 when you start out like you know this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01112-00257940-00258046 kind of seems like a cool concept
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01113-00258048-00258208 similar to you know what has come before
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01114-00258209-00258389 in mistborn you know because again the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01115-00258390-00258521 same thing like where they ingest those
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01116-00258521-00258748 metals and it gives them the powers
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01117-00258750-00259025 you did one step with you you went one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01118-00259026-00259234 step weirder when you made these the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01119-00259235-00259391 things that they ingest which we don't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01120-00259392-00259594 know until like in a book book two or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01121-00259596-00259732 book into booktuber there's actually the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01122-00259733-00259919 dead bodies or the remnants of the dead
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01123-00259919-00260153 bodies of these Gods when did that click
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01124-00260154-00260375 into your head and does that does that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01125-00260376-00260542 mean that these I don't know if you're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01126-00260544-00260746 in canibles is the right word but like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01127-00260748-00260908 what would be the word like you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01128-00260909-00261125 when you ingest a flesh of other beings
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01129-00261126-00261310 sentient beings if there's even a word
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01130-00261311-00261539 for that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01131-00261540-00261629 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01132-00261630-00261784 I don't know if there's a word for it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01133-00261785-00261941 because they're I mean they are they are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01134-00261942-00262205 sort of like sentient beings but they're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01135-00262206-00262403 they're not really related to it would
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01136-00262404-00262727 be cannibals um and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01137-00262728-00262943 um it's kind of a weird thing because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01138-00262944-00263323 the the the Jin don't have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01139-00263324-00263555 they have their bodies in their own
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01140-00263556-00263734 manifestation of them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01141-00263735-00263897 um it's just same with the run when they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01142-00263898-00264119 die they leave behind this essentially
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01143-00264120-00264293 little crystals which are essentially
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01144-00264294-00264556 crystallized Magic
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01145-00264557-00264803 um so I I don't know I I don't know if
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01146-00264804-00265175 there would be a specific word for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01147-00265176-00265475 um that sort of like ingestion but uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01148-00265476-00265691 yeah it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01149-00265692-00265984 uh again I think it was it started to to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01150-00265985-00266206 really come into my mind in book sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01151-00266207-00266506 like two onwards what they were going to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01152-00266507-00266603 be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01153-00266604-00266806 um in book one it was very much sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01154-00266807-00267227 like as I say uh just just creation just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01155-00267228-00267413 adding things here and there I knew I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01156-00267414-00267575 wanted the magic system to be in terms
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01157-00267576-00267971 of I wanted the my Sorcerers to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01158-00267972-00268132 um be attuned to different types of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01159-00268133-00268337 magic different schools of magic and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01160-00268338-00268487 each of these schools came with one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01161-00268488-00268619 these sources and I mean this little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01162-00268620-00268901 Crystal uh things that they could
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01163-00268902-00269063 swallow which gave them access to their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01164-00269064-00269213 powers
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01165-00269214-00269530 um but it wasn't until book two
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01166-00269531-00269765 and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01167-00269766-00269956 I'm trying to remember where I put all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01168-00269957-00270143 the revelations basically it was it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01169-00270144-00270323 around book two where everything started
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01170-00270324-00270521 to really click into place the world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01171-00270522-00270869 started to pull all the bits I'd already
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01172-00270870-00271001 put out they're starting to pull
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01173-00271002-00271108 together
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01174-00271109-00271289 um I think it was book two where they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01175-00271290-00271589 where Esther discovers that they were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01176-00271590-00271769 they're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01177-00271770-00272003 the the corpses of the Gods basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01178-00272004-00272339 the crystal yeah it definitely is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01179-00272340-00272537 um and I think it's book three where she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01180-00272538-00272837 discovers that the moons were the jails
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01181-00272838-00273160 before the random religion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01182-00273161-00273305 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01183-00273306-00273455 and then there's more revelations in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01184-00273456-00273725 book five four and five but yeah it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01185-00273726-00273929 just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01186-00273930-00274115 that again it was one of those where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01187-00274116-00274306 everything started falling into place in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01188-00274307-00274499 book two
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01189-00274500-00274708 but it just happened in steps it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01190-00274709-00274787 like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01191-00274788-00275008 as I was writing book two oh yeah this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01192-00275009-00275267 this this all just clicked and it it all
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01193-00275268-00275471 pulled together perfectly and then as I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01194-00275472-00275608 was writing book three there were more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01195-00275609-00275843 Revelations that I was like aha yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01196-00275844-00276125 that just makes sense and and it kept
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01197-00276126-00276263 happening throughout the entire series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01198-00276264-00276527 it's such a weird way of writing it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01199-00276528-00276623 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01200-00276624-00276779 in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01201-00276780-00276953 I honestly had no idea what I was doing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01202-00276954-00277108 for half of the book until I was doing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01203-00277109-00277199 it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01204-00277200-00277355 um and then I just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01205-00277356-00277763 but it always felt like that was how it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01206-00277764-00277955 was supposed to be even in my mind like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01207-00277956-00278158 when the when the ideas of it just sort
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01208-00278159-00278321 of like came together and it was just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01209-00278322-00278555 like of course that makes sense I've
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01210-00278556-00278830 already set everything up for it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01211-00278831-00279065 um and it just kept happening
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01212-00279066-00279269 um which so so part of the the reason
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01213-00279270-00279425 Esco keeps coming across these these
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01214-00279426-00279623 Revelations as the books go on is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01215-00279624-00279791 because I was too
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01216-00279792-00280043 well as a reader it felt really great
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01217-00280044-00280187 because you just were like this theme so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01218-00280188-00280319 plan and you know it's like the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01219-00280320-00280463 revelations are also like you know each
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01220-00280464-00280589 book kind of reveals like a certain
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01221-00280590-00280756 aspect and fascinating aspectful also it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01222-00280757-00280865 felt like this was like you had
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01223-00280866-00281051 brilliantly planned this series of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01224-00281052-00281201 okay what is going to be a revolution of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01225-00281202-00281321 this book two is gonna be this book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01226-00281322-00281525 Priestess book four is that and so it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01227-00281526-00281656 worked out perfectly but it's even more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01228-00281657-00281806 funny that you know your mind did the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01229-00281807-00282037 job for you without you knowing it yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01230-00282038-00282430 I just patched it there's a very natural
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01231-00282431-00282682 progression of the way the magical
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01232-00282683-00283073 system develops very very much so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01233-00283074-00283379 I have a question as well in terms of a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01234-00283380-00283871 very specific question about askers Arc
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01235-00283872-00284123 mancy and necromancy every time her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01236-00284124-00284447 arkman C gets supercharged she basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01237-00284448-00284675 Taps into the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01238-00284676-00285221 memories of the gin or Rand she who
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01239-00285222-00285413 scores she has sworn I think it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01240-00285414-00285682 usually the Gin because they are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01241-00285683-00285958 um connected without Mouse correct but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01242-00285959-00286337 is that is that a byproduct of her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01243-00286338-00286758 only of her Arc man see her abilities
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01244-00286759-00287363 with uh lightning or is that out as much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01245-00287364-00287580 took her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01246-00287581-00287855 necromantic proficiency
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01247-00287856-00288167 the absorbing the memories uh is that's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01248-00288168-00288358 actually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01249-00288359-00288587 um due to her necromancy the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01250-00288588-00288869 archments is basically the uh the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01251-00288870-00289055 delivery method for a lot of the times
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01252-00289056-00289343 but it's the same way that when she uses
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01253-00289344-00289660 her necromancy to unravel a ghost she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01254-00289661-00289906 absorbs some of the memories of that of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01255-00289907-00290069 that ghost
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01256-00290070-00290134 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01257-00290135-00290393 and we've arguments he uh she sometimes
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01258-00290394-00290753 absorbs uh memories of the the Jinn
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01259-00290754-00291010 who's who you know that's who the source
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01260-00291011-00291232 that's generating the lightning the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01261-00291233-00291515 archman he came from or sometimes from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01262-00291516-00291719 the person
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01263-00291720-00291958 um essentially shooting that yeah the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01264-00291959-00292193 sorcerer using the art fancy source to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01265-00292194-00292571 to fire lightning after uh it's a big
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01266-00292572-00292817 fight in the fifth book when hundreds
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01267-00292818-00293051 upon hundreds basically of salsa is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01268-00293052-00293345 shots exactly or at least dozens it was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01269-00293346-00293627 uh a beautiful moment
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01270-00293628-00293806 I think it's something like 17 is the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01271-00293807-00294034 exact number of 17 different Sorcerers
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01272-00294035-00294317 shooting her but then there's an arc
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01273-00294318-00294532 um but they've got Arc biter shooting
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01274-00294533-00294827 here as well uh it's very much a sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01275-00294828-00295030 like yeah I'm going Super Saiyan here
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01276-00295031-00295445 yeah um it is a very elegant method of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01277-00295446-00295817 you know delivering uh plot relevant
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01278-00295818-00296225 information and just narrative tidbits
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01279-00296226-00296710 of what is a rare occasion away from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01280-00296711-00296999 escarus uh point of view
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01281-00297000-00297491 yep the the part of it is I wanted to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01282-00297492-00297730 I I wanted to deliver some of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01283-00297731-00297929 information of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01284-00297930-00298145 um almost like info dumping I guess but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01285-00298146-00298613 uh of of the Jin and the way that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01286-00298614-00298949 you know the the other worlds as bills
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01287-00298950-00299260 or created and everything so each of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01288-00299261-00299506 memories of the Jinn that she absorbs
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01289-00299507-00299689 um they're very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01290-00299690-00300155 uh specific memories that relate to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01291-00300156-00300551 things like okay this is how uh the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01292-00300552-00300832 other world has created or uh that I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01293-00300833-00300934 think there's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01294-00300935-00301139 a timely one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01295-00301140-00301373 um which was about the the final battle
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01296-00301374-00301660 between uh the the random version where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01297-00301661-00302027 they tore open the the realm
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01298-00302028-00302105 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01299-00302106-00302267 to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01300-00302268-00302501 reveal the maker basically um so the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01301-00302502-00302663 maker could find them so each one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01302-00302664-00302932 those is very tailored to what is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01303-00302933-00303137 happening in the story at the time
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01304-00303138-00303358 whereas most of the memories that she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01305-00303359-00303587 absorbs from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01306-00303588-00303887 the the people the other sorcerers uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01307-00303888-00304115 those are very much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01308-00304116-00304432 ways to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01309-00304433-00304553 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01310-00304554-00304763 sort of expand upon the world a little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01311-00304764-00305123 bit and make it feel a little more human
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01312-00305124-00305260 um because one of the one of the best
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01313-00305261-00305423 ways to sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01314-00305424-00305717 make a world feel much more real is to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01315-00305718-00305891 have you know sort of like little
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01316-00305892-00306197 irrelevant details about characters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01317-00306198-00306304 um because it just makes those
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01318-00306305-00306647 characters feel more alive so it's one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01319-00306648-00306910 of the things I wanted to do with those
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01320-00306911-00307127 with that sort of like mechanic where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01321-00307128-00307343 she's absorbing memories is to have none
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01322-00307344-00307504 of those memories mean anything they're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01323-00307505-00307649 just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01324-00307650-00307810 their memories of other people that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01325-00307811-00307913 she's now
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01326-00307914-00308182 taking on to herself essentially
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01327-00308183-00308267 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01328-00308268-00308465 especially as a lot of those memories
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01329-00308466-00308758 are probably part of why she changes as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01330-00308759-00308987 much as she does throughout the series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01331-00308988-00309263 that she's absorbing other memories and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01332-00309264-00309430 it also explains
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01333-00309431-00309503 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01334-00309504-00309791 book three where she's just has random
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01335-00309792-00310079 memories of yourself
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01336-00310080-00310306 I thought it was a widely successful
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01337-00310307-00310649 strategy as far as you know info dumping
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01338-00310650-00310949 uh goes because it at no point does it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01339-00310950-00311099 feel like him for them being it just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01340-00311100-00311284 makes the world feel deeper the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01341-00311285-00311603 characters more meaningful and in that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01342-00311604-00311753 way I think
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01343-00311754-00312082 phenomenal work really thank you that's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01344-00312083-00312280 exactly what I was going from glad it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01345-00312281-00312395 worked
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01346-00312396-00312575 absolutely did
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01347-00312576-00312815 now uh me here do you have any other
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01348-00312816-00313043 questions I do uh one of Rob in one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01349-00313044-00313253 the you know in our past discussion you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01350-00313254-00313403 know both Philip and me were kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01351-00313404-00313541 curious about this like you know the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01352-00313542-00313756 parents kind of mimic the humans of our
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01353-00313757-00313973 world and knowing the human psychology
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01354-00313974-00314213 of looking for Gods you know we were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01355-00314214-00314339 both surprised that there was not really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01356-00314340-00314513 an organized religion in this world now
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01357-00314514-00314651 there are Cults Philip right quickly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01358-00314652-00314789 pointed out that there are Cults in this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01359-00314790-00315047 world and of course Joseph also starts a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01360-00315048-00315179 cult and it kind of becomes a big
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01361-00315180-00315413 successful one but from your authorial
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01362-00315414-00315665 Viewpoint what was the main reason for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01363-00315666-00315832 there not been any organized religion as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01364-00315833-00316193 well because they talk about the the gin
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01365-00316194-00316403 and the Rand but they're and eska hates
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01366-00316404-00316529 them as gods and she calls them Scots
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01367-00316530-00316745 but they're they are Gods but there's no
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01368-00316746-00316882 organized religion around them or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01369-00316883-00317117 anything else besides again the maker
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01370-00317118-00317284 cult which is only in the desert but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01371-00317285-00317608 what was what was the the the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01372-00317609-00317951 reasoning behind that in this world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01373-00317952-00318119 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01374-00318120-00318623 in my mind I find it very hard to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01375-00318624-00318767 sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01376-00318768-00318917 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01377-00318918-00319204 I find it very hard to understand that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01378-00319205-00319379 there would in fact be an organized
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01379-00319380-00319577 religion around Gods if the gods were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01380-00319578-00319913 real and walking around with us
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01381-00319914-00320075 um the reason that organized religion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01382-00320076-00320339 exists is because you know these these
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01383-00320340-00320560 gods are these nebulous figures that we
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01384-00320561-00320747 can never know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01385-00320748-00321017 um whereas you know if the gods are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01386-00321018-00321197 walking around with us that's no longer
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01387-00321198-00321503 really a religion that's more of a cult
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01388-00321504-00321701 of personality
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01389-00321702-00321760 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01390-00321761-00321887 so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01391-00321888-00322180 I I just yeah it it's basically that's a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01392-00322181-00322360 symptom of my own
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01393-00322361-00322541 um understanding of religion and the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01394-00322542-00322721 like and I I honestly don't think that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01395-00322722-00323041 if if you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01396-00323042-00323243 gods were real and they were wandering
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01397-00323244-00323453 around the verses if Thor was was you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01398-00323454-00323704 know wandering around outside like look
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01399-00323705-00324023 at the Marvel films it wouldn't be a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01400-00324024-00324208 a religious sort of like thing where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01401-00324209-00324389 you're like praying and worshiping too
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01402-00324390-00324497 and it would just be a couple person
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01403-00324498-00324851 after you were like hey that's Thor
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01404-00324852-00324953 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01405-00324954-00325151 so I think I understand what you're
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01406-00325152-00325451 saying yeah there's no place for fate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01407-00325452-00325751 when you can reach out and touch God
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01408-00325752-00325973 yeah exactly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01409-00325974-00326213 um so yeah the because the gods are
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01410-00326214-00326429 there there's no organized religion
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01411-00326430-00326675 around them it's just yeah people do
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01412-00326676-00326879 kind of worship them I guess but the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01413-00326880-00327010 worship is a very different thing it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01414-00327011-00327149 more just following them around doing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01415-00327150-00327449 what they're told
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01416-00327450-00327634 and the gothic apprecious in this case
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01417-00327635-00327779 that they truly do not care about
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01418-00327780-00328001 anybody else's existence or their Wills
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01419-00328002-00328234 or even their prayers so as to speak uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01420-00328235-00328379 besides the nebulous maker who the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01421-00328380-00328541 people just pray but they don't they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01422-00328542-00328715 don't know if that being is ever
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01423-00328716-00328973 answering them not caring about them or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01424-00328974-00329195 basically indifferent to them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01425-00329196-00329447 yeah I mean the the cult that worships
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01426-00329448-00329675 the maker is is literally their
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01427-00329676-00329939 worshiping of an apocalypse
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01428-00329940-00330203 um yeah because it's it's the tar end
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01429-00330204-00330521 basically and um a slight I mean the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01430-00330522-00330791 cult that Cyril have kind of half starts
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01431-00330792-00331043 around the maker is is purely do her own
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01432-00331044-00331169 gain
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01433-00331170-00331384 um that's just complete lies that she's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01434-00331385-00331625 just formulating oh yeah the the wash
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01435-00331626-00331793 away the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01436-00331794-00331979 there's the sinful or whatever and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01437-00331980-00332123 you'll be in charge afterwards she
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01438-00332124-00332291 doesn't believe any of that she's just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01439-00332292-00332482 doing it um telling people what they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01440-00332483-00332680 want to hear so that you know they'll do
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01441-00332681-00332879 what she wants them to um but the tar
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01442-00332880-00333221 end they they have uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01443-00333222-00333401 yeah they have a bit of a sort of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01444-00333402-00333599 organized religion if you will but it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01445-00333600-00333701 a cult
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01446-00333702-00333953 um and it's fully based around this idea
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01447-00333954-00334132 of yeah we
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01448-00334133-00334391 open up the the realm and bring the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01449-00334392-00334619 maker into the world and it scourges
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01450-00334620-00334865 everything away
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01451-00334866-00335506 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01452-00335507-00335758 I like that you leave some ambiguities
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01453-00335759-00335999 this is just me being weird about this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01454-00336000-00336208 because I'm I'm I like World buildings
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01455-00336209-00336382 do it do a do a really fascinating
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01456-00336383-00336634 degree Rob in your mind did you know how
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01457-00336635-00336845 many gin and ran because they're always
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01458-00336846-00336989 supposed to be an equal number they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01459-00336990-00337271 never are like when one chin dies one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01460-00337272-00337510 run disappears or and vice versa so when
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01461-00337511-00337673 the maker deposited them into the moon
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01462-00337674-00337829 in your mind there was there a specific
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01463-00337830-00338056 number of how many gin and Rand arrived
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01464-00338057-00338341 or is that just me thinking too much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01465-00338342-00338530 thousands of each
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01466-00338531-00338891 oh wow okay so this is there was a lot
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01467-00338892-00339071 of them when it when they uh when they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01468-00339072-00339275 were first there but uh they they killed
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01469-00339276-00339580 each other off at quite a rate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01470-00339581-00339815 and thereby Crossing newer and newer
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01471-00339816-00340019 cataclysms because when they die they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01472-00340020-00340180 did and that's why there are there there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01473-00340181-00340343 are so many sources just lying around in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01474-00340344-00340534 awares because they're littered with the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01475-00340535-00340732 dead bodies of the Gods literally
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01476-00340733-00340954 yes exactly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01477-00340955-00341129 um that's why there's there's so many
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01478-00341130-00341308 things like the the world is full of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01479-00341309-00341560 ruins and the like because uh battles
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01480-00341561-00341710 between their under the Gin have just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01481-00341711-00342077 laid waste to half the half of a virus
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01482-00342078-00342149 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01483-00342150-00342456 so yes there were originally sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01484-00342457-00342754 thousands of each probably less than ten
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01485-00342755-00342934 thousand but more than one thousand
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01486-00342935-00343282 percent oh Big Range interesting factoid
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01487-00343283-00343445 for all those people who are fancy
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01488-00343446-00343573 series
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01489-00343574-00343823 because you you know this world kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01490-00343824-00344080 reminded me a lot of the broken Earth uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01491-00344081-00344297 you know books by n.k Jameson innocence
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01492-00344298-00344453 like you know because in her in in that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01493-00344454-00344579 series it's also the same thing like you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01494-00344580-00344806 know their cataclysms or cataclysms
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01495-00344807-00344956 caused the world to kind of get like you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01496-00344957-00345095 know the history of the world is kind of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01497-00345096-00345329 hidden with beneath and your fourth book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01498-00345330-00345467 since the mother if there's like a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01499-00345468-00345580 fascinating point when you know that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01500-00345581-00345719 Lake and then forgetting what the Lakers
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01501-00345720-00345880 called it kind of has basically been
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01502-00345881-00346084 drained away and as they are walking in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01503-00346085-00346253 the mud they go towards the ruins so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01504-00346254-00346391 they're surprised to find that this city
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01505-00346392-00346558 is bigger like the city underneath the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01506-00346559-00346732 lake is bigger than what they could have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01507-00346733-00346841 imagined it's bigger than the biggest
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01508-00346842-00347015 city that they have right now and it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01509-00347016-00347260 just incredibly complex so there must be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01510-00347261-00347404 so much more to the world and of course
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01511-00347405-00347656 the city that has come you know excavate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01512-00347657-00347795 so as to speak with her magically like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01513-00347796-00348010 it it also has these more and more
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01514-00348011-00348239 catacombs beneath it and so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01515-00348240-00348425 both Philip and me also felt that there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01516-00348426-00348587 is so much history in this world that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01517-00348588-00348682 you know you could probably write a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01518-00348683-00348827 prequel series if you wanted and you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01519-00348828-00348971 know that had nothing to do with any of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01520-00348972-00349151 these characters but just these you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01521-00349152-00349319 a random set of characters it would be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01522-00349320-00349469 an epic fantasy world or it could be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01523-00349470-00349654 like an epic fantasy series or even like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01524-00349655-00349943 a darker fantasy series uh would you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01525-00349944-00350099 ever maybe in the future when you have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01526-00350100-00350406 some time
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01527-00350407-00350789 I'll just say uh as far as I'm concerned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01528-00350790-00350963 uh I'm done with the world of the war
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01529-00350964-00351173 Turtle uh now
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01530-00351174-00351347 um and I think
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01531-00351348-00351575 it'd be really weird going back to this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01532-00351576-00351797 world and not writing eska
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01533-00351798-00351863 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01534-00351864-00352187 like after spending five books
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01535-00352188-00352541 in in eska's head uh and and the entire
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01536-00352542-00352732 this world has always been in esca's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01537-00352733-00352925 head I think the idea of going back to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01538-00352926-00353182 this world and not having it be focused
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01539-00353183-00353356 around escrow would just be all really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01540-00353357-00353530 weird to me
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01541-00353531-00353608 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01542-00353609-00353843 but uh no I definitely wanted to give a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01543-00353844-00354028 sense of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01544-00354029-00354256 history
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01545-00354257-00354515 um both ancient and you know recent to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01546-00354516-00354623 the world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01547-00354624-00354851 um with things like yeah the Lake Lawn
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01548-00354852-00355180 this City Beneath the lake
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01549-00355181-00355447 um it was once a thriving
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01550-00355448-00355697 Metropolis of a city that was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01551-00355698-00356015 essentially destroyed by this the war
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01552-00356016-00356297 Eternal the war between the rendez in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01553-00356298-00356560 um you know it's the idea that yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01554-00356561-00356723 there'd have been people living in the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01555-00356724-00356963 city and then one day a bunch of gods
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01556-00356964-00357191 decided to fight right above them and it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01557-00357192-00357454 just wrecked the city
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01558-00357455-00357623 um pushed it down into the Earth and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01559-00357624-00358049 then a lake just drowned it on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01560-00358050-00358475 um and the the idea was that there were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01561-00358476-00358769 many instances of of that sort of thing
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01562-00358770-00359032 happening all over the world so after
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01563-00359033-00359417 the the the humans and the part and the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01564-00359418-00359621 tar end were essentially created by the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01565-00359622-00359753 Rand
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01566-00359754-00359999 after they were uplifted
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01567-00360000-00360269 um into the new species uh there'd have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01568-00360270-00360406 been a sort of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01569-00360407-00360743 periods where kind of like a golden age
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01570-00360744-00361013 where you know there were new cities
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01571-00361014-00361193 being built with the help of the Gods
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01572-00361194-00361517 and all of that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01573-00361518-00361745 and then it wasn't until well that that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01574-00361746-00361943 would sort of like have gone for a while
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01575-00361944-00362093 but then obviously the round of the Jinn
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01576-00362094-00362284 started fighting and suddenly yeah the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01577-00362285-00362495 these these cities that suddenly grown
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01578-00362496-00362627 up and that were thriving that were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01579-00362628-00362806 peaceful and suddenly being flattened or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01580-00362807-00363053 just destroyed or just ripped out of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01581-00363054-00363227 existence or whatever
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01582-00363228-00363460 so that leaves a lot of a lot of ruins
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01583-00363461-00363647 around the world and I think eska says
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01584-00363648-00363941 it in in book one that you know the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01585-00363942-00364195 world is literally full of ruins
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01586-00364196-00364480 and it's all due for the war Eternal and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01587-00364481-00364673 that photo would cause us such a gap at
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01588-00364674-00364817 their history they don't really truly
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01589-00364818-00364906 know the history of the world because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01590-00364907-00365080 whenever the history like for history to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01591-00365081-00365308 be there civilization has to prosper us
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01592-00365309-00365477 for people to record history and maybe
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01593-00365478-00365632 that was being done but every time such
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01594-00365633-00365806 a cataclysm would occur it would wipe
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01595-00365807-00365927 out the knowledge and then of course
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01596-00365928-00366137 that's why these people in the world of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01597-00366138-00366287 aware it's a human so to speak we have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01598-00366288-00366413 such a fragmented knowledge unit of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01599-00366414-00366610 their own world and parts of the world
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01600-00366611-00366767 different different cities so to speak
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01601-00366768-00366928 have different maybe more because even
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01602-00366929-00367193 the uh the Imp I mean the the Warriors
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01603-00367194-00367330 from the desert dementia like you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01604-00367331-00367493 there there's suddenly when the desert
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01605-00367494-00367649 chants Sans shift they'll find like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01606-00367650-00367853 cities or stuff beneath so even they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01607-00367854-00367978 have like this fragmented knowledge but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01608-00367979-00368171 again nobody has thought of to pull the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01609-00368172-00368278 knowledge and at least find out what
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01610-00368279-00368458 happened or they're just too busy dying
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01611-00368459-00368663 or surviving so as to speak
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01612-00368664-00368932 yeah as far as uh most of the the the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01613-00368933-00369113 people in the world are concerned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01614-00369114-00369263 they're only really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01615-00369264-00369556 considered with the the very recent
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01616-00369557-00369869 history so the people on on on Isha
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01617-00369870-00370043 um their history only really extends
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01618-00370044-00370427 back to uh the where there was the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01619-00370428-00370678 hundred uh kingdoms that became ten that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01620-00370679-00370865 became two that became one that became
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01621-00370866-00371069 100 again
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01622-00371070-00371134 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01623-00371135-00371375 that that's pretty much as as far as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01624-00371376-00371573 their history is really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01625-00371574-00371806 um concerned and everything else is just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01626-00371807-00372028 ancient to them
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01627-00372029-00372191 great point
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01628-00372192-00372504 sorry for look I got savedra Google
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01629-00372505-00372887 uh tangents are what this channel runs
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01630-00372888-00372913 on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01631-00372914-00373175 [Laughter]
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01632-00373176-00373306 but no
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01633-00373307-00373606 um I'm thinking perhaps we have held on
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01634-00373607-00374128 to Rob for long enough so maybe one or
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01635-00374129-00374477 two last questions among each of us yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01636-00374478-00374699 does that sound good so if you'd like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01637-00374700-00375017 take the first one and I will wrap it up
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01638-00375018-00375317 perfect rob you know you have mentioned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01639-00375318-00375467 so many things in this world but you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01640-00375468-00375593 know there's pretty there's pretty much
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01641-00375594-00375737 things that you probably had to cut out
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01642-00375738-00375934 you know what were some interesting not
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01643-00375935-00376145 factors or facets of this world which
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01644-00376146-00376289 did not you know which appeared in your
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01645-00376290-00376427 brain but did not fit in the series you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01646-00376428-00376541 had to just leave it out and of course
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01647-00376542-00376858 nobody knows except you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01648-00376859-00376919 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01649-00376920-00377110 yeah I mean the there were originally
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01650-00377111-00377597 more uh more of the Lords of severeign I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01651-00377598-00377980 think I had nine in mind to begin with
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01652-00377981-00378047 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01653-00378048-00378256 but because I've not really done
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01654-00378257-00378539 anything with them uh too much before it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01655-00378540-00378743 came to uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01656-00378744-00378958 deaf speed and heart I sort of like I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01657-00378959-00379187 decided to cut that down
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01658-00379188-00379247 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01659-00379248-00379415 so I was gonna have a couple of like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01660-00379416-00379619 Titans striding through the world type
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01661-00379620-00379841 thing as well but yeah it just got to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01662-00379842-00380021 the point where it's like ah I don't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01663-00380022-00380239 think I could really legitimately fill
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01664-00380240-00380639 fit them into the world so if I did it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01665-00380640-00380782 would literally be oh yeah and then
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01666-00380783-00380975 there was Dave oh yeah and uh and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01667-00380976-00381130 norvette maroon has already killed him
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01668-00381131-00381413 so we don't need to worry about Dave
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01669-00381414-00381491 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01670-00381492-00381701 so yeah there was there was definitely
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01671-00381702-00381827 that where it was like yeah it was there
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01672-00381828-00382019 was definitely going to be more loads of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01673-00382020-00382282 survival I couldn't really fit them in
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01674-00382283-00382373 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01675-00382374-00382547 and then there's just there's other
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01676-00382548-00382715 little things especially with creating
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01677-00382716-00382882 the second world with the other world as
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01678-00382883-00383356 well as as severeign
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01679-00383357-00383627 there was there were other monsters that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01680-00383628-00383782 I was originally gonna sort of like have
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01681-00383783-00383951 in like I was going to do more with the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01682-00383952-00384275 guests to sort of the ghostly type uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01683-00384276-00384467 Apparition type ones
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01684-00384468-00384815 um and the you know gusts and geists and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01685-00384816-00384995 all these different types of monsters
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01686-00384996-00385253 and I just couldn't find time for a lot
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01687-00385254-00385456 of them uh or couldn't find space for a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01688-00385457-00385673 lot of in the books uh especially where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01689-00385674-00385901 it came to okay I'm gonna have this big
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01690-00385902-00386206 battle in in desperate and heart I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01691-00386207-00386387 really needed most of the monsters to be
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01692-00386388-00386789 the more physical type that could
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01693-00386790-00387058 be fought rather than having you know a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01694-00387059-00387197 bunch of Horrors flying about that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01695-00387198-00387347 nobody could do anything about because
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01696-00387348-00387778 they're just incorporeal nightmares
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01697-00387779-00388067 pretty cool stuff thank you for that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01698-00388068-00388241 yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01699-00388242-00388427 so you've mentioned how difficult the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01700-00388428-00388703 second book was to write for you
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01701-00388704-00388967 but and how you needed to basically
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01702-00388968-00389201 rewrite big chunks of it but what was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01703-00389202-00389477 the most fun not only in terms of one of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01704-00389478-00389693 the novels but perhaps even a favorite
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01705-00389694-00389980 scene that was just pure and adulterated
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01706-00389981-00390089 fun
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01707-00390090-00390395 for you to sit down and get out of the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01708-00390396-00390719 way
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01709-00390720-00390965 I mean there was quite a few uh I really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01710-00390966-00391408 enjoyed the the really pulse pounding uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01711-00391409-00391673 scene so I I loved writing the final
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01712-00391674-00391967 battle in in despite in heart
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01713-00391968-00392201 um which ends up being like over 20 000
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01714-00392202-00392525 words of just like okay Mayhem uh that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01715-00392526-00392669 was quite good
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01716-00392670-00393028 um I really enjoyed uh writing eska's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01717-00393029-00393227 escape from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01718-00393228-00393658 um John Toro in from cold Ash's risen
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01719-00393659-00393767 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01720-00393768-00393928 I I think
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01721-00393929-00394313 in in those sorts of scenes where it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01722-00394314-00394463 very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01723-00394464-00394841 very immediate very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01724-00394842-00394967 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01725-00394968-00395225 sort of the the the the the pace of it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01726-00395226-00395453 is just rushing along and it's all very
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01727-00395454-00395704 much in her head I found myself really
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01728-00395705-00395878 able just to get into Oscar's head and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01729-00395879-00396095 it would just flow
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01730-00396096-00396184 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01731-00396185-00396419 so I I always enjoyed writing those
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01732-00396420-00396803 scenes uh massively so there was yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01733-00396804-00397103 the the escaping uh from kodash is risen
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01734-00397104-00397415 uh the moon falling since the mother the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01735-00397416-00397654 the massive final battle in desperate
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01736-00397655-00398027 and heart those scenes where they became
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01737-00398028-00398339 so focused in in eska's head for me that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01738-00398340-00398458 I just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01739-00398459-00398758 or inhabited her brain for a bit they
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01740-00398759-00398956 were they're almost always my my most
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01741-00398957-00399077 fun to write
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01742-00399078-00399191 um because I was sort of like I'll come
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01743-00399192-00399419 to after like an evening of afternoon of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01744-00399420-00399575 writing and be like oh God what time is
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01745-00399576-00399665 it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01746-00399666-00399917 it absolutely shows I think because for
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01747-00399918-00400277 me too as a reader those scenes were
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01748-00400278-00400373 just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01749-00400374-00400721 pure shots of adrenaline
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01750-00400722-00401171 yeah I uh yeah they were certainly meant
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01751-00401172-00401315 to me there was also the fight against
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01752-00401316-00401537 silver in uh the lessons never learned
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01753-00401538-00401693 actually
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01754-00401694-00401878 um that was a weird one because that was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01755-00401879-00402077 origin Okay so
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01756-00402078-00402251 the way that it was originally going to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01757-00402252-00402425 be that that scene was actually going to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01758-00402426-00402634 be in book three because there was
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01759-00402635-00402827 originally going to be four books and
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01760-00402828-00403084 then of the original but then the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01761-00403085-00403223 original trilogy was going to be four
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01762-00403224-00403445 books but then I cut basically a book
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01763-00403446-00403708 out so uh that that was going to be like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01764-00403709-00403930 a big pivotal scene in book three but
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01765-00403931-00404128 then I had to sort of like move that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01766-00404129-00404525 into book two so I had the I had this
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01767-00404526-00404867 idea for that scene in my head
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01768-00404868-00405023 um from
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01769-00405024-00405221 somewhere towards the end of book one
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01770-00405222-00405443 and then I wrote book two and it wasn't
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01771-00405444-00405628 in the first version of book two I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01772-00405629-00405784 scrapped book two completely because it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01773-00405785-00405965 was terrible and then had to rewrite
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01774-00405966-00406091 book two and then it was like by the
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01775-00406092-00406295 time I got to that scene I was like okay
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01776-00406296-00406534 I finally get to write this scene where
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01777-00406535-00406823 esker and Silva face off and you know
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01778-00406824-00406991 eska essentially kills the love of her
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01779-00406992-00407363 life uh which is obviously a major scene
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01780-00407364-00407693 for Esther it changes her completely
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01781-00407694-00407777 um
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01782-00407778-00408052 so yeah that was that was a scene that
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01783-00408053-00408269 I wouldn't say it was exactly fun to
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01784-00408270-00408491 write or anything but it was it was one

3tvV7qtL3Jy-01830-00420012-00420407 ah I think I've read your impressions of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01831-00420408-00420779 the First on Twitter someone but Ron
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01832-00420780-00421114 just needs a [__] [__] slap [__] kid
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01833-00421116-00421681 it's so annoying like
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01834-00421682-00422057 since so much since cough well see I
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01835-00422058-00422218 think I think that might have to do with
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01836-00422219-00422518 the fact that when I read The Wheel of
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01837-00422519-00422855 Time I was 12 and so I related very hard
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01838-00422856-00423263 to run but I imagine that reading it uh
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01839-00423264-00423545 in your 20s in your 30s it's uh it's a
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01840-00423546-00423689 different experience
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01841-00423689-00423947 then it's yeah
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01842-00423947-00424120 um I just
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01843-00424121-00424360 I I hate it where there's so many things
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01844-00424362-00424577 actually I hate about run but the main
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01845-00424578-00424720 one at the moment is the number of times
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01846-00424721-00424889 he's like I don't want this power it's
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01847-00424889-00425063 like oh shut up you're the most powerful
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01848-00425064-00425501 character in the world just get over it
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01849-00425502-00425675 yeah it's gonna get a lot worse before
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01850-00425676-00425957 it gets better I know I know I've I've
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01851-00425958-00426203 oh yeah I've like I've
3tvV7qtL3Jy-01852-00426204-00426347 consoled myself with the fact that I'm

3wy3lWp4djk-00933-00227063-00227418 necessary for example TREC has proposed

3wy3lWp4djk-00937-00228113-00228402 other countries in this way power is
3wy3lWp4djk-00938-00228403-00228589 produced at any given time as at any
3wy3lWp4djk-00939-00228590-00228768 point of the planet as the Sun or the
3wy3lWp4djk-00940-00228769-00228984 wind is up or ocean waves and currents
3wy3lWp4djk-00941-00228985-00229240 are stirring this option however is
3wy3lWp4djk-00942-00229241-00229455 probably not possible in the short term
3wy3lWp4djk-00943-00229456-00229683 as fossil fuel and nuclear power are
3wy3lWp4djk-00944-00229684-00229875 still the main sources of energy on the

3wy3lWp4djk-00946-00230104-00230416 will not be possible overnight several

3wy3lWp4djk-00948-00230650-00230890 for the grid have been done worldwide
3wy3lWp4djk-00949-00230891-00231105 there is over 100 gigawatts of
3wy3lWp4djk-00950-00231106-00231354 pumped-storage hydroelectricity this
3wy3lWp4djk-00951-00231355-00231600 improves efficiency and decreases energy
3wy3lWp4djk-00952-00231601-00231814 losses but a conversion to an energy
3wy3lWp4djk-00953-00231815-00232039 storing mains electricity grid as a very
3wy3lWp4djk-00954-00232040-00232326 costly solution some costs could
3wy3lWp4djk-00955-00232327-00232527 potentially be reduced by making use of
3wy3lWp4djk-00956-00232528-00232749 energy storage equipment the consumer
3wy3lWp4djk-00957-00232750-00233038 buys and not the state an example as
3wy3lWp4djk-00958-00233039-00233232 batteries in electric cars that would
3wy3lWp4djk-00959-00233233-00233397 double as an energy buffer for the
3wy3lWp4djk-00960-00233398-00233685 electricity grid however besides the
3wy3lWp4djk-00961-00233686-00233890 cost setting up such a system would
