Alright, so let me continue with this discussion about Marty's theorem, okay which is which is basically an analog of Montel's theorem except that you are working with not with analytic functions but with meromorphic functions, okay. So let us look at let us again look at the statement, so you have this domain D in the complex plane and you have this family script F of meromorphic functions on D, so the script M D is the you know it is the set of meromorphic functions on D and mind you we are considering these as continuous functions from D into the extended complex plane, okay. So you are able to do that because a meromorphic function normally at a point which is a pole it is it goes to infinity, okay but then you allow the value infinity and you declare the value at the pole to be infinity so it becomes continuous. So this set of meromorphic functions is a subset of this set of continuous functions from D to the extended complex plane C union infinity which as a metric space given the spherical metric we think of as the just the Riemann sphere, okay with infinity corresponding to the north pole, right. And so you have this family script F of meromorphic functions you can either use the word collection or family or subset whichever you prefer but the point is when is this family compact, so in this case you know normally or I should since the word normal is used technically I should say usually compactness is equivalent to sequential compactness and then that it means that you know saying something is compact is the same as saying that every sequence has a convergent subsequence. So if you want to say that the family script F is sequentially I mean is compact you would like to say it is sequentially compact if you want to say it is compact and then you would like to which means that you know given any sequence of functions in this family you are able to extract a subsequence which converges. Now what kind of convergence if we are usually the convergence that we worry about is uniform convergence but of course in the case of analytic functions and meromorphic functions you will not get uniform convergence on the whole domain you will get only uniform convergence on compact you will get only uniform convergence on compact subsets and that is called normal convergence, okay. So in other words the compactness of the family F is thought of as normal sequential compactness which means that every sequence in F admits a subsequence that converges uniformly on compact subsets of the domain, okay. So this is what compactness for us means and Marty's theorem says that this is the same as the family of spherical derivatives of F namely you take for each small f in script F you take its spherical derivative F hash of F hash small f hash and you get this family script F hash you this is the family of spherical derivatives and that should be normally uniformly bounded which means it is uniformly bounded on compact subsets. So in some sense boundedness of derivatives is giving you is equivalent to compactness I mean if you want to say it in a nutshell boundedness of derivatives is equivalent to compactness, okay and so there are a couple of aspects that I want to stress between this and the original Montel theorem see the original Montel theorem was for analytic functions, okay. So you took instead of taking a family of meromorphic functions as we have done now if you have taken analytic functions, okay then we would have put the condition that the family is uniformly bounded, the family itself is uniformly bounded, okay and the and there the uniform boundedness of the family on compact subsets that would be equivalent to the family being normally sequentially compact that is the usual Montel theorem, okay and the way we work there is you have the uniform if you restrict to a compact set you have uniform boundedness of the family, okay then from the uniform boundedness of the family you derive equic continuity because from the uniform boundedness of the family you get uniform boundedness of the derivatives and that is because of the fact that the derivatives are expressed in terms of the original functions using the Cauchy integral formula and you can make an estimation there are the Cauchy estimates. So the uniform boundedness of the family on a compact subset will give rise to uniform boundedness of the derivatives on a compact subset and uniform boundedness of the derivatives always gives rise to equic continuity. So you get along with uniform boundedness on a compact subset you get equic continuity for free if you are looking at analytic functions, okay but you see Marty's theorem is slightly different what is happening is whereas in Montel's theorem uniform boundedness on compact subsets of the family is equivalent to the family being normally sequentially compact in Marty's theorem it is not uniform boundedness on compact normal uniform boundedness of the family but it is actually normal uniform boundedness of the spherical derivatives, okay. So you move from the family in some sense you move from the boundedness of the family to the boundedness of the derivatives that is the switch, okay and the point is that in a sense this is stronger than the original Montel theorem because in the original Montel theorem if you are looking at a family of analytic functions and suppose you know that their derivatives are normally uniformly bounded suppose I am not given that the family itself is uniformly bounded but suppose I am given just the derivatives are normally uniformly bounded, okay then what happens is if the usual derivatives are normally uniformly bounded then it also happens that the spherical derivatives are normally uniformly bounded because of this reason, okay because you see the if you the spherical derivatives are bounded by 2 times the bound for the normal derivatives the usual derivatives. So if the usual derivatives are bounded, okay then the spherical derivatives are bounded so if you take a family of analytic functions on a domain such that the usual derivatives are all uniformly bounded on compact subsets that is normally uniformly bounded then also you will get you know you will get a normal sequential compactness, okay because of Montel's theorem but the only thing is that now you could have you know the because you are considering these as meromorphic functions you could have the extreme case that all these analytic functions go to infinity, okay and by that I mean they go to the function which is infinity on all points of the domain which is also considered as a continuous function, okay and mind you for such for that function the spherical derivative is 0 because it is a constant function, okay. So now what I want to say is so this is one aspect that when you move from Montel's theorem to Marti's theorem you are actually moving from uniform boundedness on compact subsets of the family of functions to the uniform boundedness of the derivatives, okay and because you are worrying about meromorphic functions usual derivatives will not work for example at poles so you will have to look at the spherical derivatives, okay now that is one aspect now that here is another important aspect. See if you know that these the Montel's theorem for example is actually a deeper version or is an application of the Arzela-Ascola theorem, okay and what is the philosophy of the original Arzela-Ascola theorem the philosophy is that if you want to say your family of functions is compact which is the same as saying that is sequentially compact namely you want to extract a convergence of sequence from any given sequence see you will have to put the conditions of the family being equicontinuous and uniformly bounded that is why the Arzela-Ascola theorem is often referred to as uniform boundedness principle, okay. So you need uniform boundedness plus you need equicontinuity together to give you sequential compactness, alright. If you are working with analytic functions uniform boundedness is enough, okay because equicontinuity will come out as immediately it will come out for free because you have the Cauchy integral formula, okay. Now in the case of Marti's theorem there is a slight advantage, the advantage is that if you see I have if I look at it in one direction that is why is it that the uniform boundedness of derivatives should give me a normal sequential compactness, okay. What you can guess immediately is that always boundedness of the derivatives gives rise to equicontinuity, okay it always gives rise to equicontinuity. So even on a compact set if you want to extract a convergence of sequence from a given sequence, okay you would like to apply Arzela-Ascola theorem. So what is missing, what is missing is uniform boundedness, okay because if you want to apply Arzela-Ascola theorem you need uniform boundedness together with equicontinuity so that you can extract from any given sequence as convergence of sequence. So if I restrict to a compact set what if I assume that the derivative spherical derivative is a bounded okay I can expect only equicontinuity, okay I will not get the I will get equicontinuity of the given family of functions but I cannot get I do not seem to be getting the uniform boundedness of the family, okay but here is where the beautiful thing is you do not need any uniform boundedness, okay. The reason is because the values are being taken in a compact matrix space, okay see the values are being taken as far as meromorphic functions are concerned where are the values being taken the values are being taken in the extended complex plane. Extended complex plane mind you is identified with the Riemann sphere and it is a compact matrix space, okay and you know a compact matrix space is of course bounded it is totally bounded, it is bounded, okay it is complete, okay so there is no unboundedness phenomena that is going to occur in a compact matrix space, okay. So this uniform boundedness condition is not necessary that is the whole point, okay. So what I want to say is that your Arzila-Asculi theorem in the Arzila-Asculi theorem, okay we were looking at functions continuous functions either real or complex valued on a compact matrix space, okay. Now I am saying and there for sequential compactness of a family of functions you needed both uniform boundedness and equicontinuity but if I instead of looking at real or complex valued functions suppose I was looking at functions with values in a compact matrix space, okay that is the change I am making you try to look at functions defined on a compact matrix space and taking values in another compact matrix space the target is not real numbers or complex numbers but the target is another compact matrix space then because the target is already compact this uniform boundedness is not needed just equicontinuity is enough and it is equivalent to sequential compactness that is the whole point, okay.  So let me you know explain the proof so whatever I have circled here is to tell you that what this tells you is that if the if the family of derivatives of a collection of a family of analytic functions functions is uniformly bounded then so is the family of spherical derivatives so the boundedness of the ordinary derivatives implies boundedness of spherical derivatives, okay. So that is something that I am writing here I think I have cramped it a little bit so let me get rid of this lemma and rewrite it later, fine. So what I will do is I will try to give you the proof of this so let us go in one direction so let me again reiterate the Asiel Ascoli theorem is valid, okay in the sense that sequential compactness is same as equicontinuity without worrying about uniform boundedness if you are looking at functions which are taking values in continuous function values in a compact matrix space, okay that is if you replace real and complex numbers by a compact matrix space, right that is the whole point so just equicontinuity is enough, right and I will try to instead of trying to prove a theorem in that generality I will even explain to you how you can get the sequential compactness. So what you do is so let us start this way suppose so maybe I will use okay so suppose f is suppose f hash is normally uniformly bounded, okay suppose it is normally uniformly bounded what do I have to show I have to show that it is normally sequentially compact that means you will have to pick up given any sequence in the family script f you have to show that there is a convergence of sequence, right convergence in the sense of normal convergence that is convergence on compact subsets so that is what I have to do we need to so let me write that down we need to show that any sequence f1, f2 and so on admits this sequence in of course in I should not say well when I put subset this I am not writing this sequence as a set okay because that could be repetitions in a sequence okay so this is why this notation let me put belongs to okay so I mean that f1, f2 etc is a sequence in f you have to show that any sequence admits convergence of sequence and of course it should be a normally convergence of sequence that is something that converges on compact subsets okay uniformly on compact and of course on compact subsets the convergence is uniform, right so uniform convergence so now so how do I go about this so as usual the moment usually if you have boundedness of the derivatives the first thing that you do is you get equicontinuity of the family that is always you should remember as a philosophy boundedness of the derivatives is a strong condition to imply that will imply equicontinuity of the original family so what you do is that so that is what I am going to demonstrate we will demonstrate that this family script f is equicontinuous okay so we will show script f is equicontinuous how do I do that you check equicontinuity at every point so what you do is fix z0 in D and a disk a close disk centered at z0 at z0 in D of sufficiently small radius okay so now you know so the situation is like this you have this you have the complex plane and you have this you have some you have this domain D okay and so this is D I am always trying to draw a bounded domain but it need not be a bounded domain okay because if it is an unbounded domain with I cannot show it on a picture so here is so here is the domain D it is the boundary is this dotted line and what I am having is a point z0 in D and I am choosing a sufficiently small disk such say of radius rho okay rho sufficiently small so that the whole close disk is inside D okay that the open disk with z with center z0 radius rho along with the boundary circle that is also in D okay and what do I do I just so I remember that you know my if you take a function f small f in script f mind you the function is being now thought of as going into the Riemann sphere okay see it is going into C union infinity and the C union infinity is identified so I put a triple line okay this is identified with the Riemann sphere so what is it it is just so this is just S2 the real two sphere in three space real three space radius 1 center at the origin so it is this you know it is this thing so this is Riemann sphere and this point corresponds to the north pole which corresponds to so this infinity corresponds to the north pole okay so your function is taking values on the Riemann sphere that is how you should think about it right and now what is it what is it that I am given I am given that the I am given that the family I am given that the family of spherical derivatives is normally uniformly bounded so that means it is uniformly bounded and compact subsets of D and this close disc center at z0 radius rho is a compact subset of D so it is uniformly bounded on that okay by hypothesis of normal uniform boundedness of the family script f there exists an m such that the spherical derivatives of all the spherical derivatives in the family are bounded by m so let me just put in mod z minus z0 this is not equal to so I have this okay this is just the uniform boundedness of the spherical derivatives restricted to this compact subset given by this disc right. Now what do you do mind you that in this situation since the functions are taking values in the extended complex plane okay on the target the target metric space is extended complex plane and the target metric is a spherical metric that is what you have to remember okay the target metric space is the extended complex plane and on the extended complex plane the metric is the spherical metric it is actually the spherical distance on the Riemann sphere transported by the homeomorphism of the Riemann sphere with the extended plane okay So it is the so you should remember this is the big point remember you have to remember that whenever you are working with values in the external complex plane okay in the target space the external complex plane the metric involved is the spherical metric okay. So if you keep that in mind this is what is going to happen you see if I take 2 points I take so let me use a different colour suppose I take 2 points say Z1 and Z2 okay inside this closed disk and I take the straight line segment from Z1 to Z2 okay then and suppose I call this segment as L okay then under if I take the image of the segment the straight line segment under this map f where f is any function any meromorphic function in the collection of in the collection script f okay what I am going to get is I am going to get something on the I am on the Riemann sphere I am going to get something okay. So it is going to be again it is going to be a contour with starting point f of Z1 and ending point f of Z2 mind you now f of Z1 and f of Z are being thought of as points on the extent in the extended plane okay and the image contour the image contour is going to be just f of L okay and what is the if you now you know you can you know that from f Z1 to f Z2 on the Riemann sphere that is in the external complex plane the spherical distance is actually the shortest distance on the on the sphere it is just it is the minor arc of the greater circle passing through f of Z1 and f of Z2 on the on the sphere okay and so what you can write is the distance the spherical distance between f Z1 and f Z2 this is certainly it is the shortest distance because it is a geodesic okay curves of shortest length on a surface are called geodesics okay in general if you have space with the metric then the if you give me 2 points in the space it is not necessary that the straight line distance if it makes sense is the shortest okay that could be some other curves depending on the metric especially you could have you could find the distance along a curve to be smaller than the straight line distance in some cases for example for spaces with negative curvature okay but in any case if you take a space where a metric is defined and if you take 2 points in the space then the shortest distance the curve shortest distance from this point to that point on the space is called a geodesic and that is the geodesic distance on this on the sphere the geodesics are all given by the minor arcs of the arcs of the major circles okay so that is the spherical distance and this is certainly this is the smallest distance and so this is certainly less than the length this spherical length so let me not abbreviate it spherical length of f of L okay certainly and well what is the spherical length of f of L you know how to get the formula for the spherical length the formula for the if you give me a curve on the plane that is a contour on the plane then the length of the contour is just given by integrating mod dz okay where z is a variable you integrate mod dz from the initial point of the contour to the final point of the contour you get the length of the arc or contour on the plane but if you want to get the length of the image of the arc what you will have to do is you have to multiply by the factor which is given by the spherical derivative okay if you multiply the ordinary derivative and if it is an analytic function you will get the length of the image arc in the complex plane itself okay that is if you use modulus of the derivative of the analytic function as a scaling factor but if you use the spherical derivative as scaling factor and you will take the spherical derivative corresponding to meromorphic function then you will get the spherical length of the image of this arc on the Rayman sphere okay so what is this is going to be just integral from z1 to z2 of f hash of z mod dz this is the spherical length alright and what will happen is that you see now since you know now the point is that this integration is being carried out from z1 to z2 and of course this integration is over let me put L here because this integration is along the straight line path from z1 to z2 okay and that path lies inside this closed disk okay and on this closed disk all the spherical derivatives are all bounded by m so you know mind you the spherical length is always a non-negative quantity okay it is a positive it is a non-negative real number okay so what I will get is that this is certainly less than or equal to m times mod z1 minus z2 this is what I will get because I can replace this f hash of z by m because m is an upper bound and the integral from z1 to z2 mod dz is just the it is just along the straight line segment it is just the length of that segment that is the mod just mod z1 minus z2 okay so I get this but now what is the advantage of this now it tells me I have got equicontinuity see so for epsilon greater than 0 okay if we if we choose for epsilon greater than 0 if we choose delta to be you know epsilon by m okay then mod z1 minus z2 less than delta will imply that the spherical distance between fz1 and fz2 is going to be less than epsilon I will get this inequality given epsilon greater than 0 whenever the distance between z1 z2 is less than delta I can find a delta say that whenever distance between z1 z2 is less than delta this is a spherical distance between fz1 and fz2 is less than epsilon and this works for all f in the family script f so long as z1 z2 lying that closed disk so what have I got I got equicontinuity I have got a kind of uniform equicontinuity you can think of this as either equicontinuity at z1 or thinking of z2 as a variable or you can think of equicontinuity at z2 thinking of z1 as a variable in any case it is a uniform equicontinuity okay so what I have got is that f from this disk mod z minus z0 less than or equal to rho to the extended complex plane is equicontinuous and this but then of course I can cover the source domain D I can cover every point by such a closed disk lying in that domain therefore I have got equicontinuity at every point so this implies that so and this is equicontinuity for all f in script f so basically what I am saying is that f is this family script f is equicontinuous on D so I get equicontinuity okay which is what which so basically what I have done is I have just shown that is boundedness of the spherical derivatives gives me equicontinuity and that is a very general philosophy whenever you have boundedness of the derivative you integrate and you get equicontinuity that is a very general thing alright. Now what I have to show what do I have to show I have this I started with this I have this sequence here in script f okay and I will have to extract a subsequence which converges uniformly on compact subsets that is what I have to do what I want to indicate is that you can now do it exactly in the way you proved equicontinuity and uniform boundedness implies sequential compactness in one way of the proof of the Arzela-Askoli theorem okay so what you do is you do so these are the steps okay so what you do is we retrace so oops we retrace the steps in one way of the proof of the Arzela-Askoli theorem to extract a normally convergent so I am using CGT for convergent as an abbreviation subsequence from the given sequence okay so what you do so I will put it as a star list so the first thing is find the accountable dense subset X1, X2, etc so you start with a compact subset K of D given a compact subset K of D first find accountable dense subset okay here it is just the general statement that a compact metric space is separable okay then what you do is now you have now go back and think about the proof of the Arzela-Askoli theorem what you would do is that you would take the original sequence you will apply it to X1 okay and you apply it to X1 you get all these real or complex numbers okay and now you will use the fact that the original sequence is uniformly bounded to say that you have a sequence of bounded sequence and you will extract a subsequence okay any bounded sequence of real numbers or complex numbers admits a subsequence a convergent subsequence that is all you are using but now you see look at the present situation if I apply F1, F2 if I apply this sequence to X1 mind you let me change just change the notation to from X1, X2 if you want to Z1, Z2 because all my points are actually my compact subset K is actually a point is a subset of D and all my points are complex numbers so I will let me change it to Z1, Z2 and so on okay now what I will do is I will apply to Z1 I will apply the sequence okay and I will get a convergent subsequence I will get a convergent subsequence why is that that is because if I apply F if I apply these functions I am going to get a sequence of points on the Riemann sphere which is compact therefore it sequentially compact therefore every sequence gives me a convergent subsequence you see so it works that is the whole point. So apply the sequence F1, F2, 2, Z1 what will you get you get F1 of Z1, F2 of Z1, F3 of Z1 on the Riemann sphere okay but this is compact it is a compact matrix so it is sequentially compact and because of that what I will get I will get a subsequence F1, F1, F2, F13 such that F1J of Z1 converges okay so this is the key step okay this is the key point of difference when we were looking at real numbers a complex number when we are looking at real or complex valued functions okay when you apply the sequence to a point you got a sequence real sequence or a complex sequence but then you extracted a subsequence because you knew it is bounded and where from did the boundedness come here it came from the uniform boundedness of the original family okay but now you do not need any uniform boundedness in this case to extract a subsequence because the values are already being taken in the external complex plane which is compact and it is already sequentially compact I do not need anything more to extract a convergent subsequence that is the big difference okay. Now what you do is now you iterate what you do is apply to Z2 okay and you get a subsequence a further subsequence which is F21, F22, F23 and so on such that if you take F2J Z2 this converges okay and you do this ad infinitum what you will end up with is that you will end up with this matrix as usual so you will get this matrix of functions 1, 3 and so on F21, F22, F23 and so on F31, F32, F33 and so on so it goes on like this and you know it is the diagonalization trick that we use what we do is that we extract this diagonal subsequence okay then what is the advantage of this diagonal subsequence this diagonal subsequence will give you a sequence which will converge at all points of this dense subset this countable dense subset of K okay so F11, so G1 is equal to F11, G2 equal to F22, G3 equal to F33 and so on is a subsequence that converges on the countable dense subset Z1, Z2 of K okay alright and now what you do is I want to repeat those steps now you use we have just now proved that all the functions in this family are equicontinuous okay we have just now proved that so just use equicontinuity and on this sequence of functions to cook up to show that this sequence is actually Cauchy on the whole space okay and therefore it is convergent okay so the moral of the story is that at this point you use the equicontinuity of the family and mind you that equicontinuity came from the boundedness of the spherical derivatives that is what you have to remember okay so use the equicontinuity of use the equicontinuity of this as a family script F to get to show that G1, G2 etc is convergent on all of K okay so this is exactly as we did in the proof of the Azela Ascoli theorem I am not going to repeat it okay. Now so what have we succeeded using what we have succeeded is given any compact subset of D I have given a sequence given any compact subset I am able to extract uniformly convergent subsequence okay but then what do I need I need one if I change the compact subset okay my subsequence could change but I want one global subsequence which works on every compact subset and how do you get that you again get by another diagonalization argument what you do is you fill up D by a sequence of increasing compact sets okay with the property that any compact subset is contained in one of one set of the sequence okay and then use again a diagonalization argument as we use in the proof of Montel's theorem to extract from this a global subsequence which is going to be convergent uniformly on every compact subset and that finishes the proof in one way of proof of Montel's theorem that boundedness of spherical derivatives implies the family is normally sequentially compact okay boundedness of derivatives on compact subsets okay so normal boundedness of derivatives implies normal sequential compactness. So let me write that very quickly as in the proof of Montel's theorem fill out D by an increasing sequence sequence of compact subsets and use a diagonalization argument extract a global subsequence that converges uniformly on every compact subset of D. So this proves one way what is the other way you have to show that if you have a normal family you will have to show that it is the spherical derivatives are bounded and the other way is proved by contradiction if the spherical derivatives are not bounded okay then I can extract a sequence I can find a compact set and a sequence of functions and a sequence of points at which the spherical derivatives are becoming bigger and bigger and bigger okay. Now from this sequence of functions because I have assumed normal sequential compactness I can also get a subsequence which converges okay if the functions you know if a family of functions converge meromorphic functions converges to a limit function then the family of spherical derivatives also will also converge okay but mind you the spherical derivative of any function is always a finite quantity the spherical derivative of any function meromorphic function is only a finite quantity even if you take the function which is uniformly infinity the spherical derivative is 0 okay you will only get a finite quantity. So if the sequence of functions converges to a function then the sequence of spherical derivatives converges to the spherical derivative of the limit function and that is a finite quantity but on the other hand the original sequence had points where the values were becoming larger and larger so that is a contradiction. So that contradiction will prove that you know if you assume that the family is normally sequentially compact the spherical derivatives have to be normally uniformly bounded that is the other way of the proof of Marty's theorem okay and with that we are through with the proof of Marty's theorem, right.


Servicemen of the Ukrainian armed forces located near Bakhmut prepared on April 22 to go on the mission and hope the weather conditions would improve. We need heat, more heat, to make this swamp dry. Because it's not possible, even the tracked vehicles are simply stalling, said one of the Ukrainian servicemen, Anton. He added that his brigade team was well-equipped, but still wished for more heavy weapons. More equipment, more cool new equipment to work with, Anton said. Ukraine is wrapping up preparations for a counter-offensive against Russian forces and is largely ready for it to go ahead, Defense Minister Olexei Reznikov said on April 28. Kiev hopes its planned counter-offensive will change the dynamics of the war that has raged since Russia invaded Ukraine 14 months ago. What did you say? I didn't take the task. The swamp will be dry, and it will be possible to work even more, and it will be possible to work at night. Even if it doesn't behave well at night, but it doesn't matter. Well, the trenches, the cleaning of the trenches and so on. We need heat, more heat, to make it all dry. Because it's not real, it's just a military equipment.  More heavy weapons collection, artillery, and so on. We have a lot of good security, the same battalions. A lot of equipment, more new, cool to work with. And that there was also a combat timer that could work with this equipment, as well as with guns and so on.


إن الحمد لله نحوده ونستعينه ونؤمن به ونتوكل عليه ونعوذ بالله من شروع أنفسنا ومن سيئات عمالنا من ينبه الله فلا بضل له ومن يضل الفلا هالي له ونشد الله إلا إن الله ونشد أن محمد عبده ورسوله أرصنه بالمدى وده الحق ليذره والبدين كله ولو كريه الكافرون يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتنا إلا وأنتم مسلمون يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذين خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا من كتعون ساء واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والأرحامة إم الله كان عليكم رفيدا يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وكونوا قولا لله سديدا يصلح لكم عمالكم ويغفل لكم ذنوبكم ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فازف وزر عظيمة أما بعض فإن أصلق الحديث كتاب الله وخير الحديث بيوم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وشروا الأمور محدثاتها وكل محدثة بنعة وكل بلعات ظلالة وكل ظلالة في النار الحمد لله إن الحمد لله يصبحوا the praise of Allah إن الحمد لله حقاً أن كل محب is due to Allah إن الحمد الحمد has several meanings حمد means to praise to use words beautiful words that are done for a voluntary beautiful action and Allah has voluntarily willed that this world come into existence so we praise him for that and that's the linguistic meaning then we have the meaning the meaning of حمد according to Ahnashara is that it's an action that springs forth from your recognition of the fact that some good has been done and that action is either by the tongue so it's good praise with the words or it's by your limbs or by belief in the mind and all three of these is praise for Allah that we believe in Allah and him being the greatest of him being the only creator and him being the greatest when we say that we holy believe that with our minds and we give Hamd to Allah through that and then when we give Hamd to Allah with our actions with our deficient actions we give praise to him by coming and attending the prayers when the prayers have been shut down for a long time but now we're gathered for the first Juma'a in a long time here so we say we praise Allah that he has allowed us to gather he has allowed us to gather the people who we miss the Masjid but Alhamdulillah we miss seeing each other miss orienting our hearts towards Allah together but Allah has allowed us the opportunity so we say in Alhamdulillah that praises for Allah and we can give complete shukr to Allah we give complete gratitude to Allah and shukr is for the servant to orient what Allah has blessed him with for what it was created for that we were created for worship وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة وما أف وما خلقت جنة وننسى إلا ليعبودون that Allah says in Surah Dariah that we have not created you, Iqran, man and jinn except for what إلا ليعبودون except to worship me so that we give shukr to Allah by expressing our shukr to Allah by worshipping him and using all the faculties that he has given us to worship him that whether it be with our limbs when we pray or whether it be with our tongues when we make zikr or whether it be with our mouths when we drink water and eat food that we make shukr with those faculties that Allah has given us and to make shukr while you're eating food is to eat food that Allah has eat good food something that Allah proves up so that you may give yourself a sort of strain to keep your back straight to continue to worship Allah to give shukr for the jobs that we've been given is to thank Allah for every single every single portion of sustenance that comes to us recognizing that it doesn't come from our bosses and it comes from Allah and then to use that in the pleasure of Allah whether it's supporting our families whether it's putting a smile on our families whether it's giving it to the massage whatever it may be however we may spend that provisions that Allah has given us that the important thing is that we do it we do it with the recognition that I'm doing this for the pleasure of Allah to orient all our actions to the pleasure of Allah and to give shukr to Allah that He's been merciful with us before we start any surah of the Quran we say بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Allah has 99 names in above but why these two names أبرحمن الرحيم the most merciful and the most merciful they both mean the most merciful one is universal mercy one is particular mercy and Allah has given us both of those mercies universal mercy and particular mercy so we say بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم every step that we take before we go to sleep before we wake up before we eat before we pray before we make wudu whatever it may be that we're doing any good action that we've been doing we start with the name of Allah الرحمن الرحيم and one of the greatest mercy that Allah has given us Allah says وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة للعالمين تكلم عن رحمة الله that I have not sent you except as رحمة للعالمين except as a mercy for all of the worlds that the prophet is the mercy sent to all of the worlds and so we're in the month of ربيع the spring that's what ربيع means ربيع أول the first spring now we might be in fall technically but this is called the first spring that with his coming with his coming the truth sprang forth and mercy sprang forth صلى الله عليه وسلم and then we should make shukr of that and the way to make shukr of that is to actualize Allah's words about him ورفعنا لك ذكرات that we have raised your remembrance that if Allah is speaking to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we have raised your remembrance that if Allah has raised his remembrance صلى الله عليه وسلم then you know he's something great that he's the greatest of creation Allah has raised his remembrance Allah has raised his remembrance Allah and His angels send their salutations and blessings on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah says إِنَ اللَّهُ عَلَا إِكِتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِ يَا يُونَّ دِيْنَ عَمُنُ صَلُّ عَلَى يُصَلُّونَ تَسْمِيمًا that Allah and His angels both send their salutations and their benedictions on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and then he commanded us to do the same that Allah does that action and the angels do that action and of course our action and the angels action that is nothing like the way nothing compared to the action of Allah of him sending his salutations and blessings on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but we have the invitation to send our salutations upon him right? so we say when we send our salutations and blessings on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we're recognizing making sugar for that spring that Allah has sent us the spring of all springs that any good that has come has brought forth from him صلى الله عليه وسلم any good that has come to us is come to him صلى الله عليه وسلم that Allah has allowed us to enter into our worship through him صلى الله عليه وسلم that Allah allows us to enter into His worship through him صلى الله عليه وسلم that He is allowed that He has saved us from a painful punishment من مرحباً من مرحباً من خلالهم صلى الله عليه وسلم كيف نساعد جميعنا؟ واتشهدوا وكيف نقول أشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله right but is that it? is that it? we recognize that Allah is the only object of worship but our faith isn't complete until we recognize the one that Allah sent us صلى الله عليه وسلم the one who taught us how to worship him عز وجن واشهدوا أن محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم we testified that the Prophet ﷺ is the Rasool the Messenger of Allah that he's the one that delivers us the message from Allah and he's the one that delivers us to Allah that if we do not follow his method the way that he is pleased with the way that he has brought us this way the way that he has brought us then we can't reach Allah because nothing is he's the final Rasool of Allah the final Messenger of Allah that any sort of ideologies any sort of sort of substitutes that we may come up with are not Rasool of Allah rather it's Muhammad Rasool of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم that he is the Rasool of Allah he is the one who delivers us to Allah he is the one who delivers from what Allah has given to us so if we don't enter through that bag if you don't want to do that door we can't reach Allah and how do we get to the Prophet ﷺ by going through the people who connect us to him through our teachers our parents are our first teachers we should make sure that for the fact that Allah has given us parents if we have our parents with us we should make sure that of that if we don't have our parents with us we should make sure that of the other teachers that have tied us down to this Dean and that given us this given us the knowledge know that we should be worshiped in Allah and so we make sure for that that this is a month it will be an O1 it's a month where we remember the blessings that Allah has given us and the best way to remember that blessing is to act upon what he had commanded صلى الله عليه وسلم knowing that his commandments did not come from anyone other than Allah right الله سلوما يمتقون in هو he did not speak from his own accord صلى الله عليه وسلم that whatever he commanded was the divine pleasure and to recognize that when we obey what he says صلى الله عليه وسلم then we obey Allah و أطيع الله و أطيع رسول right و أطيع الله و أطيع رسول that obey Allah and obey the Messenger they always come together in the Quran أطول الله ليها that was stuff in Allah when they come inside the Muslim يقول يستغفرون إنه هو الوخذ رحيم اسم الله و الحمد لله صلى الله عليه وسلم على رسول الله و على آله و صحبه و من و لا الله سلسل لإن شكابتم لأزي ذنكم that if you think that in shakabtum if you are thankful if you have gratitude لأزي ذنكم then then what? then I will increase you so whatever blessings that we may have found we say at least we thank Allah for those blessings that Allah has allowed us to gather a thunder not to jump after so long when we make sugar to Allah that He might increase us if Allah has given us health we say we make sugar that Allah has given us health if Allah has put us in a difficult position we make sugar that Allah and then Allah perhaps might remove us from that difficult position and we praise Allah for every situation that He has put us put us in that if Allah has put us in difficulty and we make sugar for it asking that Allah lifts the difficulty from us then what we are pleased with the difficulty that Allah has given us but we ask for His عافية we ask for His ease and if He has put us in blessing then we make sugar on that and then as this ease does not allow us to divert our attention away from what Allah wants that we don't get comfortable so we ask Allah that we will be people who are consistent sugar on Him we ask Allah more people who are consistent making come to Him consistent praising consistent being grateful towards Him we ask Allah for gratitude and for praise of the means that He has sent us to reaching Him عزوة جد we ask Allah for sugar for our parents and for our teachers we ask Allah for sugar for the process that Allah has sent us we ask Allah for sugar for the fact that we know to be doing a certain action in a certain time in a certain place we ask Allah for sugar for that we ask Allah that He loves does not be people who are heedless we ask Allah that He doesn't allow us to be people who turn away from the message that He has given us we ask Allah that we know we don't be people who are blind to the message that has come to us we ask Allah that we are not people who are blind to the messenger so Allah has sent us we ask Allah to make us a people of gratitude and make us a people of praise we ask Allah He allows us no peace to enter our hearts except that He comes to Him we ask Allah that we can find no peace in our hearts except in Him so we say اللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام تباوط ياذن جنالي والإكرام حينا ورخنا دار السلام ربنا تنفي الدنيا حسنا تنفي الآف وفى الآف واجهة حسنة وقنا عذاب الن trains ربنا هبن49 انه ازواقنا ود advancing وعلى أحبي بنا وخبرتي عيننا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد وعلى أزواجي سيدنا محمد وعلى أصحاب سيدنا محمد وعلى أطباع سيدنا محمد وعلى أ driver

كنتك وإذنت الله يفكوركم مدعوه يستجبلكم وذلك الله أكبر والله فلما تصنعون وقطيم الصنال


Hey, everybody, what's up? It's Rob Dodson. Welcome back to day two of the Chrome Dev Summit. I'm joined here by Jeffrey Posnick. Jeff is a member of the Chrome Developer Relations Team. Jeff, you just gave a talk on service worker libraries, past, present, future, et cetera. So for folks out there who haven't seen the talk yet, what are some of the service worker tools that they can use today? Sure. So I spent some of my talk introducing or reintroducing two libraries, SW Precache and SW Toolbox. So those libraries really help with a lot of production-ready scenarios that we see developers facing. SW Precache is great for taking all the static assets in your site and pre-caching them, versioning them properly, making sure the things you need for your application shell is always there. SW Toolbox is great for your runtime strategy. So large images that get cached as you go but aren't going to be pre-cached. You could use SW Toolbox for that, but the nice thing is it'll also handle your cache expiration. So if you have some big image that was used a month ago for an article page, you don't have to worry about that sticking around in your cache forever. And then you also touched on some future tools, like future direction for some of these libraries. And so where are you thinking of heading with some of these things? Sure. So we have these existing tools. They're great, but it's 2016. Some of these tools have been around for a couple of years. We thought, what would things look like if we were developing from scratch using the best practices that people follow today? And we're really trying to go to a more modular approach with our service worker libraries. We want to publish things as standalone modules that could be pulled in as ES2015 imports and really have the same functionality.  We know there are a lot of people who use this in production and are happy with it. But we wanted to make it so that if you wanted to just pick and choose little bits of the library to use, just use the cache expiration, we wanted that to work. And yeah, that's the general philosophy that we're taking. So it's pretty early on in the design stage. We've pushed out really early alpha releases. And we're really interested to see how people use it. So for folks out there who are interested in this and want to get rolling, what is one or one or two resources where they could get started? Yeah, I think we'll hopefully have some links to these. But we have a really great new landing page for all our production current service worker libraries, SWP Cache, XW Toolbox. It's a great resource with a bunch of videos and documentation and articles there. And we're also really interested in collecting feedback from the developer community about the new stuff that we've been building. So there's a GitHub issue that we've opened up where we're asking people to take a look at our proposals, take a look at some of the samples we look like, and just give us feedback. Let us know what you think. Cool, awesome. So we can link to those down in the show notes. And if you haven't done so yet, definitely go check out Jeff's session. Jeff, thank you so much for being with us today. Thank you all so much for watching. Stay tuned for more content from day two of Chrome Dev Summit. Do ya? Cool.


I'm sorry 745 will be the last drink we serve 1245 1245 I try to get a little extra 1245 will be the last drink in and everybody we try to get them out no later than 115 separate people just clean it up and everybody should be out of the building by 130 thank you we have a motion a second all those in favor please say aye thank you thank you excuse me yes so Tom the Fidelity House it's it's a dance well Nikki Metropolis is putting his arm with his wife and we're certainly gonna give them a hand doing it and it costs nothing to get in we're gonna have they're gonna have a DJ and food and just a donation and the proceeds will go to the Fidelity House thank you thank you moving on request from monotomy grill and tavern for a late night of an as well on December 31st Billy yes same thing yeah just to try to keep it in Arlington you know food will be served right until the end will probably give last call at the tables around 1230 you know so quarter one for the bar and that'll be it you know live show entertainment Tony Lynn Washington so it should be a fun night great well subject all conditions is set for a second we have a motion and a second for the discussion seeing none all those in favor please say aye aye thank you appreciate it thank you we're gonna move the request for the common ground Arlington above the license renewals Rodney thank you happy holidays to everybody see you basically the scenario is easy it's our first year we're not really looking to do any entertainment not looking to do a big party my original plan my hope was to sign someone up for a black tie affair in the back room I really don't think that's gonna happen in the last week but basically we just want to have the feeling that people can come there enjoy we're always open late for food so it would be nice to just know that I can encourage people that at 12 o'clock when the ball drops you don't have to really move out last call would definitely be quarter of one and it would be an expedited people leaving very quickly so I think that I think that night once once everything happens I think it's not gonna really be that hard I think it's just gonna be nice and smooth to be able to let people know that they don't have to immediately leave right at 12 move approval subject to our conditions is set for second motion a second for the discussion so I'm just curious how do you think with the experience you've been having with your business so far and neighbors and because you live in a neighborhood that has been more sensitive about the noise and then some other ones I'm curious how's that been going I think it's getting better I think people are starting to realize that we did do a lot of soundproofing whenever I have an event in the back I'm always on site to make sure that we we keep within bounds I will tell you right now that I'll be much more mindful if ever I decide to have a band back there again I need to know who the band is first I need to I need to actually see them play somewhere else before they play with us we had a phenomenal band in there within the first month I regularly went outside to make sure what the what the noise level was it wasn't wasn't bad but I would still like to err on the side of caution so I definitely moving forward I want to make sure I definitely talked to them first before I randomly see a band come in that's you know eventually got just a little too much equipment so but otherwise the neighbors I I'm trying very hard to to make sure that the neighbors realized that everything with deliveries we were not the only one that were getting deliveries right in front of them fusion tastes I know the ocean from the owner from fusion tastes is a nice gentleman but they regularly were getting deliveries that the semis were parked right in front of their homes as well I think since we were the new place they automatically assume that okay new businesses coming in and they're taking over our streets that's really not the case I've been in contact with the owners of each of my vendors and slowly but surely I think they're noticing that that's no longer an issue thank you for the questions so we asked for the name of the neighbors that complain the most no we can't right I hope is it things going well yes yes and they're very they're very nice people and I understand I understand their concern and I just I I try to put it out there as much as I can that you know it's not falling on deaf ears it's something that we're definitely very we want to be part of the community we want to help make the center of real nice place to go for each and every person would no matter what your like is you know it's just it's an ongoing process but I think we're I think we're getting there thanks for that attitude good luck thank you very much thank you very much we have a motion a second seeing no further discussion all those in favor please say aye I post you moving on to license renewals for contractor drain layer wine and malt beverages only restaurant all alcohol restaurant all alcohol club all alcohol package store theater license common victual or food vendor class 1 class 2 class 2 non-premise in auctioneer lodging houses and in keepers public entertainment automatic amusement and secondhand dealers so move approval on all of them all subject to all conditions that have been set forth I will second it I will know what I think we should note that we did receive a letter from the secretary of the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee advising us that they have run into some issues with cleanliness and the condition of the exterior of one of the buildings at 94 Summer Street that's Arlington liquors which is applying for renewal and there have been some issues with trash and such unfortunately we have for anybody who's watching that we have extended hours this week for for the the holidays before the holidays but in speaking with our staff I know that our staff was in touch with the liquor store and they have indicated that they understand the situation and they will take steps to address it so I'm okay moving ahead with that one right now but I think that we should monitor it as we go forward you agree further discussion seeing none we had a motion in second all those in favor please say aye moving on traffic rules and orders for approval a solar power letter of support for Mr. Chaplin thank you mr. Chairman this is a letter that was forwarded to me by a member of sustainable Arlington that we apparently missed we missed the first cut of signing on but they will be sending this letter to Governor-elect or probably at that point then Governor Baker and you could see from the provided document the number of communities from across the state either members of the select board the select board as a whole city managers time managers mayors signed on so given Arlington's status as green community participation in Solarize Arlington the fact that we're going to be trying to get solar panels on our own school roof soon I thought this would be something that I'd like to ask the board to consider signing on to the board signed on as a whole I'd sign on as a whole as well and we could add our signatures to this letter that would be sent so moved I'll second it yes so I actually I actually have some concerns about signing on to this one I I support the I support alternative energy and the increase in using alternative energy I support conservation I've been delighted to support the Green Communities Act because it talks about general about goals in terms of reducing those fossil fuels and and increasing sustainability my problem with this document as we're being asked to endorse a very particular solution and it's a financial bet on solar that frankly I just don't think that I'm equipped to make and I'm not sure the governor should be entitled to make that either I think about things like hydro and you know the first title is coming on site on online in Massachusetts I think about the wind and the offshore wind and I also think about future innovation and I'm just if this was more written more broadly the things that the Arlington Green or excuse me the Green Communities Act did right I'm delighted about this one is a technology argument and I'm less enthused about supporting that I'll follow that up it's okay and I I agree with you and when we first when I first spoke with Adam about this I brought up similar concerns that I think solar is an important part of a larger issue that like you said hydro onshore offshore wind and I think that solar should be an important part of a you know more diverse portfolio and in talking with Adam I came to think that as a municipality I think that perhaps solar is one of the largest parts that a town can control as so I was my thoughts was that I was okay signing on with this as you know a member of the board because I think that town should move forward with it but with that being said it should be a should be part of a large portfolio that does have you know other ulterior resources clean energy so that's a little rebuttal but that's how what I'm thinking on it but either way yes Kevin are you timing us to three minutes or something like that so with due respect to my colleagues I'm still willing to sign it at least as an individual select man it nothing in the letter to me I'm assuming you're referring to the letter we have here in the packet is excluding other forms and the goal is 20% solar by 2025 so anyhow I'm just willing to do it as an individual select I don't want to speak to that I'm willing to have a tour my motion obviously the board as we hold I want to do it yeah I mean I I think that's reasonable I mean I think if we look through this a lot of selectmen and counselors actually most of these are actually individuals who have signed on and I know that we we have taken that route with some of the resolutions that have gone before town meeting as well so I'm happy with that I don't think with a resolution along these lines I think we should be a unified board if we're writing to the governor on an issue of important and hearing that there are some concerns with the board signing on I think I'm happy with that course I will be signing on individually I do like the spirit and I think that it's consistent with a lot of what we've we've tried to do here in town but I don't I think that we should be a unified board for pushing putting something like this forward you do think that we should be I think we should be unified and whereas some members don't feel don't feel comfortable with the board taking a vote per se I feel completely comfortable just doing it as individuals if we so choose okay what are you saying are you signing on I will be signing on so that's the two of us yes I certainly I don't want to say that I think that it's inappropriate for this board to consider I absolutely do and I mean I so if that's the I'm not objecting to us talking about this I think it's a wonderful thing first okay so I want love and comfort and agreement you'll get love comfort agreement comfort enjoy one gets love comfort in a day I'm of the same opinion of my previous three colleagues I just wondering if the town manager what would be the most benefit if you had you sign it in four of the five select men or would it be better where there are five select men and four signatures that you just sign it on behalf of the town or you don't have an opinion either way I you know I don't know that it matters much I think if based on the way it has been signed as I think selectman Cura pointed out it seems a number of communities selectmen individually signed on it and it was probably a similar situation I don't know that but it was probably a situation where there was an unanimous vote but board member wanted to sign on so I'd be happy with that and I don't want I think Mr. Cura was absolutely right that it probably is inappropriate to sign on the Arlington board of select men if it's a three two or four one vote because it wouldn't really show yeah you know unanimous support from the board okay so we don't have an affirmative you said yes so we'll take a vote and if you want to sign it please feel free and if not that's okay I think Kevin would drew his motion so we actually don't have a motion on the table sign it so you want to make that motion yes I move that if people want to sign on individually that they do so was that close I'll communicate it accordingly to the letter of organizers thank you second we have a motion second further discussion seeing none all those in favor please say aye I post we just took a collective decision the individual conscience still reigns that's okay yes perhaps at another time we should craft a position on all right which one of our goals I guess so we don't need you but you know to find out that everybody here is happy with because we all support it I definitely and I think the model of what we did with the green community stuff is really good yeah I'm really happy with that thank you thank you of course we'll go back to Adam a new library all right so thank you for your your your patience we have our new library director actually started here in Earrington today he is almost an hour early I made him seem 20 minutes late I was in the routine of the 715 meeting times why apologize for that so tonight we have Peter Strasero you did start today right today was day one at the Robbins library so we know we were all sad and Ryan left to go to Illinois and there's some concern about how we would replace someone with the energy and passion for libraries that Ryan brought to Arlington but as we went through the interview process and came down to make our final decision it became very clear that we were very fortunate to find a talented professional who showed equal if not superior passion for library services and also a passion for Arlington based on a family history here as well as just a love for the community so Peter comes here with a great deal of library experience coming up through the ranks and most recently serving as the director of libraries in Winthrop but also having a lot of speaking engagements and notoriety in the library community for innovation and really moving libraries into the 21st century so with that I wanted to introduce Peter to the board and allow the board to you know I guess Peter maybe tell the board a little bit about himself and give the board an opportunity to ask any questions they might have thank you very much welcome good evening thanks guys please forgive my forgive my no we will blame Adam sure I just want to I want to thank our time manager and our board of library trustees and everyone involved in the process I'm very humbled to be here it's been a long time goal of mine I've worked in libraries for just over a decade about 11 years and kind of rode the ranks started as a page putting away books and working in my college library became a librarian worked in teen services for a few years went and worked in reference for a few years and spent the last few years in Winthrop as their library director always kind of focused on the Robbins library my so my grandparents lived here their all their lives and my mother grew up here spent her whole childhood in Arlington so I spent a lot of my childhood in Arlington and I had a lot of a lot of what put me into libraries in the first place was the Robbins library I spent a lot of time there as a child with my grandparents with my mother and I had a lot of a lot of great memories here as a child like chasing Paul Revere down the street on Patriots Day and sledding not so successfully at Robbins Farm and rollerblading on the bricks up to the Arlington Heights and on and on and on but I did spend a lot of time in the library and that's part of the reason that I went this way so for me this is a real a real comfortable circle moment and I don't want to sound too cheesy and I know the town's watching but I feel like Arlington really has given to me a lot in my life and this is a great opportunity to come in and thank Arlington and give back especially in the place that I care about the most the library so I'm very humbled very honored to be here thank you very much and that that's really great to hear I think you know you'll hear a lot of the same we say a lot of the same things that you know that was the 10 cent version yeah and so no I'm very happy to have your questions from the board yes tell me about Star Wars Star Wars so when I started as a librarian I didn't make much money and I had a lot of student loans for my my master's in library science so I was looking for a way to supplement income I'm a lifelong learner and a lifelong lover of Star Wars so I started a Star Wars club at the library that I worked at and it was a big hit and the town next door said hey would you ever come here and do the Star Wars club at their library I said if you pay me I will so I so I did and and then that was a big hit and then the town next to them asked me to come and now it's been five years and I've been to 175 libraries in Massachusetts and seen like 7,000 children's and children and families in the Commonwealth and in Rhode Island and in New Hampshire teaching kids about Star Wars and connecting it back to the lifelong learning at the library and all the all the books there's the six Star Wars movies but there's like a thousand Star Wars books and the library is usually a big proponent of those books so I am that was it so I kind of gave me a an opportunity to travel around in the state to learn a lot about libraries and different libraries and to see how different libraries worked the different forms of government that existed there and how the friends worked how the library directors work in teen services and children's services and it gave me this this great opportunity to learn faster I think than I would have so so I've been doing that for five years and I think I think I did it here I think I did it in Arlington a few years ago and I've done it in Lexington I've done it all over the area thank you very much you're welcome yes Joe thank you I can't escape it I just accepted the best job I've ever been offered in my whole life and the first question is about it's going to get better because I noted you know I noted when I saw it kind of the summary of your experience when Adam first let us know about your appointment I first thought that went through my head I said this is a real millennial guy and this is great to get the current generation interested in reading and such then I went to your resume and and you've presented at the American Library Association doing the library association the title of your of your talk was stand up and shout the millennial leader right changing direction so I'm excited by that but I went further down the resume and my heart was filled with horror because you may or may not know that your predecessor somehow managed to work me into a Clifford the big red dog suit and I see that one of your previous internships was as a cast member at Walt Disney World which fills me with fear about what you might have up can't escape Star Wars and I can't escape yeah I learned I so when I graduated high school I went to college for about five minutes and decided I didn't need to go to college I was gonna you know remember being 18 and conquering the world so I ran away to Florida and got a job at Disney World and after about a year I realized how much I did need to go to college and it didn't need to go to grad school but but it was the beginning of my customer service experience so that's that's what I don't people have differences of opinion but I say that working in a library is very customer service you have a product and you have a customer and we're here for them for the people of Arlington and that's where I learned it at Disney World so I didn't I didn't I didn't dress up as anything special but I learned a lot there just one last last thing I mean you have an impressive resume someone so young you have a lot of experience here and one thing that also jumped out to me is that the Winthrop Tom manager had appointed you as the co-chair of the town's cultural community yes and you may or may not know that our Commission on Arts and Cultures along with members of our tourism Economic Development Committee have been meeting recently talking about the possibility of applying for a cultural district designation here in Arlington so I did notice that we may come knocking on your door sure to to talk to you about your experience we didn't get to the in Winthrop or there I mean I didn't get to I've cashed it in for Arlington but we didn't get to the point where we actually put in for the application but it's as you probably know it's a long process to get to that point you're supposed to spend you know 12 to 18 months developing and getting things prepared so that your application goes through so I was a proponent of that work we may come knocking at your door I know there's a meeting on February 4th at the library as coincidence would have it so okay thank you thank you very much thank you very much I just want to say first of all I'm thrilled to have you here thank you three jobs in high school one of my first was a page over the Robbins library for five years and back then in the ancient days there wasn't anything online and all the reference materials there were three to five copies of everything and I can't tell you how many high school kids got jobs as pages because they saw I was getting all these reference materials first so it's a vastly different world now so I'm really excited to hear about your experience with dealing with kids all the way to our elders in terms of getting involved but especially the younger group one of the things when I was over at the Robbins library is a page that I noticed and I don't think it exists now but they're in terms of staff sort of gathering with each other outside of work I was in the day of we had a new library director who came in and Jim fish he threw away all the books which was very painful so I used to organize monthly restaurant meetings started a softball team started sort of a mezzanine see how fast you could you know get the books back on the shelf shelving contest and that really seemed to bring everybody together especially since in my opinion it was then and still is today that similar to teachers and other professions I think they should be paid a lot more well for all the hard work they do but they don't do it for the money right and so I think on top of all the experience that you're bringing with what my colleagues have cited whatever you can bring in terms of you know combining the staff that the manager agrees would be appropriate I always thought that was a plus and a benefit and I know years after I left you know when I go back in the library they're like we don't do things like that anymore so you know being cognizant of the times that we're in and you know what you can do but whatever way that you see appropriate not anything that I cited that you feel it's sort of a you know a staff kudos I don't know if it's a sort of system to recognize somebody every month of what I'm sure you'll have good ideas on that but where we have such a dedicated staff and they do so much the best ideas are stolen I've always heard exactly so don't worry and welcome thank you so much Kevin Peter welcome to island to have you here you can't tell this by looking but I'm the oldest member the board here who actually went to high school with the the previous library directed a Ryan Mary on the remit loud who I think really did quite a bit to pull us into the electronic age if you will and then Ryan continued doing an excellent job and there's no question you will as well two quick questions what's your favorite book you read this year Frankenstein the original the original 1818 Mary Shelley the in Winthrop it was called the public library and museum yes it's our library and museum it seems like you have a local history room forgive me I spent today is my first day I spent most of it here not but it seems like you have a nice local history collection we had I say arguably one of the best in greater Boston in Winthrop just by chance lots of old documents lots of a huge Abraham Lincoln collection signed letters by Mark Twain and Frederick Douglass and incredible people you can't imagine and there's no reason that it's all in Winthrop I don't know why it is but but so we had it as a like a cold storage archives that was alarmed and treated it very much as a museum as well so we had like glass glass cases and museum space that could be rented and visited whereas you guys have more traditional local history collection thank you very much you're welcome look forward to working with you thank you thank you congratulations again thank you very much thanks guys thanks very much thanks thank you appreciate it moving on correspondence received Arlington recipient of annual town report award again from one Jeffrey Beckwith from the MMA the Boston Logan runway 33 L impacting Arlington from Peter Jones I will say Peter Jones did reach out to us and I have been in contact with him as well as the FAA so we we're going to see what we can do to take care of this issue I don't we'll get to that after but so do we have any motions so you're you're working on it yeah I'm working on I moved that we asked the chairman to work with Belmont is it and and others to help us do what we kind of minimize any impact from the runway from Logan Airport was that well I'm not not so much working with the different communities more so with I've been CAC yeah the there is a the CAC yes the advisory committee the community the community advisory committee which is doing the Logan impact study and as well as the FAA who regularly receives complaints yes Joe I also was in touch with Mr. Siano who's our representative on the CAC Frank Siano and there is currently posted by the state environmental resources offices a large environmental design review document and they have a January 20th deadline for feedback to be given and so Mr. Siano has offered Neil he told me that it would be fine to to mention it that that if we wanted to as a board send correspondence and feedback on that he would be willing to help us draft an appropriate response as he has been Arlington's rep on on this advisory committee and it is familiar with the issues I also spoke to Representative Garbley on it because I understand that the CAC is is going to be expiring and going out of life soon and there was legislation that was passed to create a new version of this advisory committee and Arlington was left off Arlington was left off Belmont was left off Watertown left off and they were all impacted by by this this new thing so I think Mr. Garbley said that he is trying to work on that to remedy that situation but Mr. Siano has offered assistance so yes so perhaps we should work on pairing a memo with Mr. Siano's help to have for the January 20th meeting yeah well January 20th is the deadline for comments to be sent to the state so okay whatever yeah I'll just say that my I thought those the the follow-on presentation to the correspondence was very eye-opening for me because I guess I've always had the you know the basic theory that when you live relatively near an airport there's a certain expectation that you're going to hear airplanes and nice but what this showed me was that what's happening is that it's being very concentrated over specific homes and streets and that we're not all signing on for the airport that like specific streets are signing on to the airport and that does not have the that does not have a sense of fairness about it to me so this presentation definitely galvanized me on the issue far more than I had been on based on what I knew before excellent so perhaps we'll work on as prepare a letter that will come from the board to get to the CAC by January 20th and we can all continue to see what we can do to send Frank you know I bet I have his email thank you is that mr. grilly's motion yes it was so I got it right so do we have a second second motion and second all those in favor please say aye and congratulations on the winning the tap on the far the winning the award for the report thank you yes congratulations to the board as well the board's the first report and the board's the leader of the what's that the board is the first report yeah oh wait who is

important to talk about it we are losing Chief Fred Ryan to the MBTA he has been selected and accepted the position of MBTA police chief I think as we all know big loss for Arlington and big gain for the MBTA so that said I well we can talk about what a proper fitting farewell to Fred is before he goes he'll be here till February 11th so he'll still be here for some time moving forward my plan is for the January 12th meeting of the board to come back with an outliner a proposal of a recruitment and replacement process for the board to discuss I know I told the chairman and I believe maybe some other board members I really want this to be something that though it's a manager appointment the process that the board is on board with in that I'm comfortable as well so that we have community buy into the replacement recruitment process for a new police chief thank you Adam welcome mr. Greeley yeah no new business but I wish Fred the best of luck and thank him for his outstanding service to this community and the select tones did finish the 24th season of holiday that were spectacular no other new business sir thank you mr. Greeley your solos were especially well thankfully no one had to sit through any solos for me this great thank you thank you mr. Dunn long-term planning committee has been meeting in advising Adam on the budget that he's writing and it has not been without some candid and passionate conversations and I think Adam is a bit on the spot in terms of well I wouldn't say that Adam has been given a lot of opinions they don't all agree and he's going to get to make a draft budget out of that I'm there's at least some conversation that the board of cycle should participate and like as a whole and in a future step related to the multi-year plan going forward and I'm personally still I want to talk to a few I want to continue my conversations with the various chair with chairs and members of other committees before I actually come forward and make a recommendation I'll say it's been a very productive and involved process this year thank you mr. Joe no new business thank you I also have no new business other than I would like to wish everyone a happy holidays and thank everyone in the town but particularly all our town employees for the work they've done over the past year and I hope they can get some time to relax with their families so thank you very much I just I want to thank the town manager for a huge gala party that he threw for the town employees that Joe and I stopped by for and it was the best lunch I think I've ever had at something like from from what's it called the ribbon blue ribbon I really wasn't expecting on eating and after my second plate full I was asked to leave but it was jammed I think it's a huge credit to the manager how many employees stopped by I've been to a number of these and that's the biggest crowd I've certainly ever seen at one of these they may have seen the menu in advance I did but that was very well done we felt we had to hold up the end for those of you stuck working in Boston thank you so I'll move to adjourn do we have a second second all those in favor please say aye


Hello and welcome to the Daily Roundup. I am Sumedha. Take a look at our top stories of the day. Campaigning in Bengal is ending tonight at 10pm and the opposition is questioning the Election Commission. In Kashmir, one Javan and three militants were killed in an encounter in the Pulwama region. Sugarcane farmers of Kushinagar have been feeling betrayed by the Prime Minister. Take a look at our ground report. Iran's Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif met Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi. In the Sudan crisis, the military and the opposition are agreeing on a three-year transition. The campaign in West Bengal is ending tonight at 10pm and the opposition parties are questioning the Election Commission. The Election Commission has curtailed the campaign in West Bengal citing Article 324 of the Constitution which gives it the powers of superintendents, direction and control of election. Now the campaigning for the nine seats in Bengal will end on Thursday night, which is tonight, a day early instead of 5pm on Friday. So far this article has been used for the cancellation, postponement of the election or penalizing individual candidates. This is perhaps the first time in India's electoral history that such a step has been taken. The Congress, BSP and the CPIM have questioned the timing of the move and also the response of the Election Commission. The Congress has gone on to state that the Election Commission has completely abjected the constitutional duty under Article 324 which is to ensure the level playing field. Maya Vati of the BSP said that the Election Commission is acting under pressure. The CPIM General Secretary Sitaram Yachuri has also raised crucial questions. He said in a quote, the decision by the Election Commission to stop campaigning a day in advance is not understood. The first thing which is expected by the Election Commission was action against the lumpen elements of the BJP and the TMC for the violence which had taken place and why is there no action being initiated. The move of the Election Commission has yet again put its credibility under the scanner. Now let's move on to Kashmir where violence has hit Pulwama district again where three militants and a soldier were killed on Thursday in a gunfight in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district. Our reporter Kamran was present on the ground and he sent us a ground report and again it puts spotlight on Kashmir and Pulwama which has been the center of conflict. Take a look at his ground report. The election season Pulwama is still remaining very very sensitive even as the Prime Minister, the BJP are making a very strong pitch for national security. Now we are showing you a ground report from Kushinagar and in this election season NewsClick is attempting to speak to people on the ground to understand their issues and how they have been impacted by the policies of the Modi government. Our report from Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh points out to how Narendra Modi assured the sugarcane farmers of the region for improving their lives but the promises were not fulfilled. The farmers are now crumbling under debt and having to cultivate alternative crops such as the turmeric. We spoke to a few farmers about the ongoing crisis and let's watch what they have to say. Who will do your good? In the election of 2014, when Narendra Modi came to Kushinagar to have elections we heard a lot of things about the farmers. A hope was brought upon the farmers who had left the farm and had come to the farm of turmeric and banana. With the promise of Modi we felt that the sugarcane farmers would go away and the farmers had left the farm. We were willing to do the farming and we were also willing to do the farming. The situation is now that the farmers are in the fields. The sugarcane farmers are closed and there is no one to listen to them. And Modi Ji had said that we will only stay in China for 100 days. Modi Ji's promise has lasted for 5 years. Neither did we get China nor did we have any condition to lose our country. In our international section, Iran's Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif visited New Delhi recently and met with the Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in the backdrop of the U.S. sanctions. Sushma Swaraj remained non-committed to any issue here and she assured that the Iranian counterpart that the new government, which will be formed after the election, will take a decision on the issue, keeping in mind the commercial considerations, energy, security and economic interests. India, which is the third largest buyer of oil, has stopped buying Iranian oil since the beginning of the month under the U.S. pressure. Trump administration had also withdrawn from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which is signed by Barack Obama with Iran in 2015. Britain, Germany, France, China and Russia are other signatories of the deal. Iran claims that the unilateral American action is illegal and taken under the influence of anti-Iranian forces in the region. Jawad Zarif's visit was to seek assurances from India that it will defy the American sanctions and continue the oil trade. Now we are moving on to Sudan, where popular demonstrations in the state have been going on for months now and there is a speculation for the announcement of a deal between the Transnational Military Council and the protesters for a while. However, nothing concrete has come out yet. And to discuss more about this, we have with us Abdul from our International Desk. So Abdul's demonstrations have been continuing for a while now. So what is the preliminary reason as to why the demonstrations are still on? The basic reason for the demonstration, which is going on for almost six months now, was primarily the Umar al-Bashir's military regime. People wanted a democratic regime, a civilian-led regime, which was not there and Umar al-Bashir was leading there for almost more than two decades. One, the second reason was immediate reason, which was primarily the economic distress which people were facing. Because of the increasing prices, because of the other economic hardships, people came on the streets and started demonstrating, which is continuing till now. Okay, and the TMC has also gone ahead to halt the negotiations yesterday. So why has that happened? The negotiations are going on for a month, almost a month now, primarily after the removal of Umar al-Bashir in the first week of April. The new military ruler or you can say the head of the Transitional Military Council, Major General Burhan, has promised that the talks will conclude ultimately in bringing the civilian-led administration, which will be a transitional government, but which is not happening primarily for two reasons. The negotiators from the protestors side, which is called the Freedom and Justice Alliance, has not been able to come on a consensus among themselves that what would be the nature of the transitory government. That there is a primary disagreement on who will lead the transitional government. And on that, there was, you can say there was a negotiation could not move forward. And that basically also, there is another reason which is that there is a violence in last four days against the protestors. There are counterclaims and claims that it is led by the military, which is led by the Umar al-Bashir supported forces. Because of that violence, the Burhan regime has announced a halt for all the negotiations for the next three days. And that is the basic reason for that. So on the daily roundup, we'd be following the stories from Sudan as well as how the India stand on the Iranian standoff as well. And with this, it's a wrap on this episode of the Daily Roundup.
