If I had a dollar for everyone that told me I was going to have a heart attack on the carnivore diet because of all the saturated fat and cholesterol I consume, I might actually be able to afford to go to a steakhouse more than once a year. People blaming saturated fat and cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming firefighters for trying to put out a fire and not only are they blaming the firefighters for the fire, they're pouring gasoline on the firefighters and then turning off their water supply. It's a little bit hypocritical once you actually understand how cholesterol is used in the body. So there's LDL, low density lipoproteins, which take cholesterol to cells as every cell in the body needs cholesterol. So it's a normal human physiological process. HDL, high density lipoproteins, take cholesterol back to the liver and we view HDL as the good cholesterol because it's taking cholesterol away from cells. Now if these are normal physiological processes and various cells and tissues in the human body need cholesterol, why are we saying that cholesterol is bad for us? Everyone has some degree of marbling in their arteries. Whether or not that cholesterol becomes inflamed in the arterial wall and causes a blockage is what we're discussing in this video. There are many, many indigenous groups. The messiah had arterial marbling. Having marbling in your arteries has nothing to do with heart disease or calcification. Those things occur when there's inflammation in the diet or excess calcium in the blood stream and although we won't really touch too much on calcification in this video, arterial calcification is caused by excess calcium, which is a result of having not enough vitamin K2 in the body as well as not enough vitamin D3. If you want to know more about this, I believe I talk about it in my vitamin D3 video. I think I talk about it in my video on the RDAs, but this video is just going to focus on actual heart disease and anyone who does a reasonable amount of research begins to understand that heart disease is actually caused by inflammation. Inflammation, hyperinsulinia, high blood sugar, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, which is high body fat, high blood cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, as well as hypertension, obesity and oxidative stress from things like trans fats, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, toxins from pollution and preservatives, as well as stress are what actually cause heart disease in the form of inflammation. People that don't have heart disease are absent of all of these symptoms and they have better omega 3 to omega 6 ratios in their diet. And when people say, oh, inflammation is the real cause of heart disease, this is what they mean. And to sum it up very quickly, I'm going to link the resources for this in the description from Evor Cummings and Peter Actia. So if any of you guys want to spend about an hour or two researching this and truly understanding it, those are going to be your resources. I'm just going to sum it up as quickly as possible. So here we have the arterial wall. This is the bloodstream, red blood cell LDL platelets, the glyco-calyx, the first kind of line of defense against excess LDL entering the arterial wall. Glyco-calyx are these blue hairs that have like a civ-like function. Then we have the endothelium with the endothelial cells. These are actually very tightly bound together. Just ignore the spacing. I'm just differentiating the cells. And then we have the intima. This is the actual arterial wall. It's composed of proteoglycans that bind to cholesterol and they hold them until HDL cholesterol comes along and allows them to be used by other cells and tissues. So heart disease occurs when there's too much cholesterol entering the arterial wall and we're specifically talking about too much LDL cholesterol. Now this happens through various things like glyco-calyx dysfunction which is caused by high sugar, hypertension, oxidative stress, oxidized LDL, smoking and what glyco-calyx dysfunction is is by doing any of these things your glyco-calyx are pretty much knocked down to nothing.  After glyco-calyx dysfunction we have leakage through the endothelial cell that can happen. And this is from TNF alpha which is tumor necrosis factor alpha which is emitted when there's inflammation in the body as well as angiotension too which is related to high blood pressure. So normally endocytosis only brings a certain amount of LDL through the endothelium but with dysfunction it can be increased greatly. Same with transcytosis and transcytosis is when the LDL cholesterol is taken into the intima and various things from TNF alpha can raise transcytosis up to 4.5 times, LDLs, leaky gut and then what happens is when all this excess cholesterol eventually leaks through the arterial wall from glyco-calyx dysfunction, from endothelial cell dysfunction, from unregulated transcytosis because of inflammation. Now we have way too much LDL cholesterol in the arterial wall so these proteoglycans bind to it and what pretty much happens is the HDL cholesterol cannot keep up. So what's really interesting is blood from heart attack patients and diabetics binds to LDL cholesterol more because of the lipoprotein structure. Two people can have the exact same levels of blood cholesterol but type 1 diabetic mice had 8 times higher retention of LDL cholesterol in the intima and this also has to do with the small and oxidized LDL as opposed to the large pillowy and protective LDL. So we can see how all these things can dysfunction and we can get too much LDL in the arterial wall. Now what actually happens when there's too much LDL in the arterial wall? These SAMs which are vascular cell adhesion molecules mark the injured area, make a 911 call. This releases interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha which raises C-reactive protein. This is one thing that increases the transcytosis which makes things worse, monocytes which are the police officers, the white blood cells turn into macrophages. They ingest the excess LDL, form it into a foam cell and this is what causes fatty streaks in the arteries. Now this is fine as long as HDL comes along and esterifies the cholesterol, allows the cholesterol to be used by various cells and tissues but this occurs through multiple mechanisms so HDL levels are not necessarily indicators of how well the HDL cholesterol is functioning. And let's say everything gets overloaded, there's too much LDL in the wall, there's all this inflammation. These fatty streaks turn into full-fledged foam cells. Then they start producing proteins that damage the arterial wall. The body tries to repair this by forming a thick cap over it like a almost like a cyst. Then inflammatory enzymes released by this plaque destabilize the cap. Basically it bursts, it ruptures with all this lipid and tissue and platelets form. This is a heart attack essentially so inflammation causes arterial wall dysfunction which leads to excess LDL in the arterial wall. Excess LDL in the arterial wall leads to inflammation which leads to foam cells which burst and cause cardiac events. So it's safe to say the most important factor in preventing heart disease is removing inflammation from the diet and a carnivore diet does this inherently. But some carnivore diets don't have the best omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Some carnivore diets can still have inflammation but since inflammation is the main driving factor of heart disease it's safe to say that a large majority of carnivores will never run into problems because hyperinsulinia, high blood sugar, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, obesity, oxidative stress. We don't really see these things on a carnivore diet, these are all really prevented. But pretty much any whole food-based diet is going to prevent a lot of these issues. I mean whether or not you want to argue that maybe you could go on a vegan diet and then you have dementia when you're older because you didn't eat enough DHA but in regards to the context of heart disease it's one of the diseases that is easier to prevent as even most people on a standard American diet if they exercised and just kind of watched what they were eating to some degree they would probably have other problems before heart disease and not only that just the main issues in the standard American diet would be more along the lines of sugar, vegetable oils and refined foods. That's mainly what we're looking at. I don't want this to really be too much longer so thank you guys for watching. If you guys would like to support me please just share the video. As I said I will link those resources in the description below. If you guys would like to reach out to me for anything from diet, health, fitness, exercise, sun, water, consults to help optimize your lifestyle you can reach out to me through my email or the website below in the description.  But above all guys check out my Twitter, check out my Instagram. I've got a lot of interesting stuff on there that I don't really post in my videos. Maybe if you guys actually subscribe and do all of these things I'm asking you to I might be able to go to a steakhouse more than once a year and hey maybe I'll even film it for you guys.


Best Buy's geek squad is under attack. Amazon isn't satisfied obliterating legacy retailers in even entire industries. Now it seems to have Best Buy's secret weapon in its crosshairs. Recall reported that Amazon is quietly working to hire IT pros as part of a new in-home electronics repair army. Best Buy is already known as Amazon Showroom, where customers walk in and get hands on with tech gadgets that they always intended to buy from Jeff Bezos. Geek Squad was a huge incentive for installation averse customers. But we did some digging and Geek Squad might be its own worst enemy. We sifted through reviews on consumer affairs and the service has just a one star rating on the site. Horrible. All the reviews we found were pretty negative. Now Best Buy's spokesman declined to comment on the reviews, but when you are up against Amazon you need all the firepower you can get. So time is running out for Geek Squad to get ready for battle against a new Amazon army. This has been Brian Zazi for The Street.


Good morning. I hope you all had a very good trading day and a good trading, a good start to a new trading year. There were not so many new things yesterday. The German DAX index was in Wall Street. Primarily the earnings season this time is not as important as the past ones. Because it's all about Trump and expectations what Trump might do to the US economy and the earnings season is the fourth quarter. It's all before Trump or at least mostly before Trump. Obama is leaving. Everybody wanted change. So if you remember back eight years, the world was hoping that there will be a big change coming with Obama. He did good things, but he was also criticized on other things. That's reality, you know. It's not always, everything is always positive, but the big change hasn't really happened. One must admit that Obama inherited the housing bubble and the financial crisis. Trump now has a reflated economy and wants to inflate this economy even more. Equity markets are expecting a doubling of US economic growth and no real harassing fire from the Federal Reserve. So that is a very positive outcome. We've gotten record inflows into equities. And so there is some transferring of money at least going on from the sidelines into the equity markets. You can see that with the sentiment readings from private investors, they are into equities now. Now watch for earnings outlooks. They might be similarly difficult to make for the CEOs and CFOs of US companies and companies worldwide because there is this Trump uncertainty. Nobody really knows what he is going to do, at least not precisely and how much of his promises are really being put into place. If I would have to describe the market with the fewest words possible, I would say that there is hope galore, but few things are concrete right now.


Live from the JSA Podcast Studio, presenting Data Movers, showcasing the leaders behind the headlines in the telecom and data center infrastructure industry. Welcome everybody to our new podcast series, Data Movers. I'm your host, Jamie Skado-Kataya, CEO and founder of JSA. And along with my co-host, happy to be social influencer, Evan Pristow. Hey everyone and welcome to Data Movers where we sit down with the most influential men and women of today's leading telecom and data center world, delivering the requirements of this new normal. Jamie, how are you doing? Doing well, Evan, you know, living the fabulous social life here. I was reading some of the headlines before the show and I see that Stripe raised $600 million in series H funding and its valuation of $95 billion makes it the biggest private unicorn in the history of the world. What do you make of all these numbers? Silicon Valley, baby. It's insane, it's insane. And I guess Stripe now has actually pushed ahead of Elon Musk's SpaceX, which was valued at 74 billion in February, which was at that time the most valuable US based tech startup.  I mean, what used to be, you know, millions, now we're talking billions.  Yeah, I'm always somewhat dubious of these valuations, but payments and banking and e-commerce is just such a huge part of our lives now, particularly in the pandemic. And these numbers kind of make sense to me when you consider the global scale of the banking and finance and payments industry. I mean, if I look at PayPal, I started my own business seven years ago on PayPal. If I didn't have PayPal, I wouldn't have been able to really launch what I do. So, you know, payments is really fundamental now to everything we do. So, you know, good luck to them. Yeah, and helping every mom and pop shop who had to go digital during the pandemic. So many great cases of those pivots for their business models where they had to learn how to build a website and take transactions online. But also with, you know, Stripe, we use it here at GSA. We, you know, the clients use it no matter how national or global they may be. So, yeah, it's a good business model. Definitely, you know, one of those businesses I wish I had thought of. Well, speaking of ideas and innovation and action, we have a great guest today, I think. Yes, yes. I want to say he is one of the true needle movers in our industry. Really excited of our guest today. Please welcome leading industry journalist, Jao Marquez Iima. Jao, welcome to Data Movers. And I thank you for having me. So, Jao, welcome. I've really been following you for years on social media. It's really nice to finally make this human-to-human connection here on the podcast. I guess my first question is, you dub yourself a mediapreneur. Explain to us what that is. And I see journalism is also on your profile. Are you a last breed of sort of real journalists out there in this new media landscape? Well, I'd like to think so. I mean, on the first question, so the mediapreneur, I think that's just more, I mean, as a journalist, we say we hate jargon and things like this, but I kind of like the word when I saw it for the first time. So it's not my words. I don't know where it came from, but I just liked it. It's the mixture between media and entrepreneurship. And taking into account my past, I have created a few publications. So I kind of get my toes into the entrepreneurship within the media space. So therefore, I need a typo now. As a journalist, I mean, I hope so. I've been doing this for about, what now, six, seven years in the data center space for the past five years, more or less. So it's been well, I mean, there's a lot of stories there in the real world, as we call it sometimes when it comes to journalism. So the politics and even jihadists and everything. And then you have the tech side of things. So with IoT and data centers, which has been my big focus in my journalism career to be fair. And you've had the opportunity over the years to really interview some of the top movers and shakers in our industry. Are there any interviews that stick out top of mind as most memorable? I mean, I've got loads. The best ones is when you actually learn something from these people. I mean, there's the CEO of Sina Electric, Jean Pascal Tricoire, who is really good when it comes to climate and sustainability. And he also teaches how to take care of a company with more, I think, than 200,000 employees. There being someone talking about that is something quite striving. There was, of course, Steve Smith, who at the time was the CEO of Equinix. There was Bill Stein, the CEO of Tissue Realty, John Concoran, CEO of Global Switch, who I learned a lot about financials. So that was very good. It was more like a lesson slash interview than so much of an interview. So that was really good. I mean, I had my Justin Trudeau moment. So when you're quite the kind of this book, what kind of computing? I have that with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, who I have in brief, that he didn't really know anything about Tissue, doesn't he? In the end, I had to kind of transform the interview as I was speaking to him, because he knew more than I thought he did. I mean, there's John Curian as well. So the bravest Thomas Curian, the CEO of Google. So that was a very good life lesson on how to come from a humble background. And then they would grow to the top. So that was very good. Manuel Dedenes, CEO of Sixtero, which has now been IPO'd through one of those facts, and talking about opportunities and equality within underrepresented layers of society, especially in these cases, the Latin American layer of the US. Bill Barney, who's probably the best person to go to for stuff related to Asia. And then, I mean, there's a lot more people like Curian name, but one that I really like always makes me laugh. Someone called Nicola Hayes. So she's a consultant in the UK, but every time we do an interview, I mean, it's just a laugh. I mean, the last time we did an interview was in Morocco, in Marrakesh. And we just had like a laugh that we couldn't do anything for ages, but it was really fun. But you learn a lot with her. I mean, her research is really good. And you really get some really good insights. And at the same time, you have so much fun just doing it. There's probably like a longer answer than you wanted, but there's a lot, a lot of names. I mean, there's so many more names I could name. Oh, and I love them all. And Nicola is, she's a dear friend. And I'm glad you ended with her. Yes, I remember Marrakesh very well. It was, yeah, we just laughed. We couldn't finish the interview. It was really, it was hilarious. Well, that's quite a who's who of folks that you've interviewed. So who's on your bucket list, whether our industry or not? Who are you wanting to interview next? And tell us about your approach or your pitch to interview them. I think, I mean, there's a lot of people. I could go with the standard and say, like, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates. I mean, those would be very nice to sit down with. I think now everything is going on and all the changes that we've had, maybe Kamala Harris. I mean, they are coming up to the 100 days in office. So a lot has been done. A lot is going to be done. I mean, coming, I can't really say coming out of COVID, but getting through COVID now, there's all the issues with race, equality, economy, jobs, and of course tech and digital play a massive role in that. We know what's been left behind was probably not the best legacy in terms of digital and sustainability as well. So I think it'd be very interesting to sit down with her and go through all those topics of equality, both gender, race, sustainability, which is probably the biggest topic at the moment as well for even more important than COVID in the long term. And yeah, just discuss the politics and what they are doing and how they're going to support the valley. And the creation of other valleys even across the U.S. and being the U.S. I mean, how are you guys going to support other countries, especially for a part of the world as well to also develop digital. I think that's, I'm so glad you mentioned that because there's a fabric, you know, I think we can get lost in data center and telecom to not see how much we penetrate and sustain and support other industries and how politics plays a role in the tech space of course and really global economy. So with that said, are there any industry trends that you're following particularly close right now considering we're in this pivotal time? Yeah, absolutely. But just adding to your last points, there's actually one thing that I've always really tried to bring into my reporting. And again, I'm going to use the expression real world which is bringing the politics and I mean the real world case scenarios and use cases of how our industry impacts the rest and how the rest impacts us as well. Because I mean a lot of it comes from outside and although regulation might have been missing a little bit over the last couple of decades, regulators are now coming into the industry and things are shaking up a little bit, which is quite interesting. Which comes then to the trends that I'm following. Regulation not being so much one of them even though things are changing like I said but I think the biggest one probably is really around climate and sustainability. Everyone has to be sustainable and I mean there is a good thing to be anyway. I would not even like to almost call it the trend. I like to call it more you have to do it. There isn't like a choice and not to be part of this trend. I think on the financial side it's quite interesting that our industry has been done through just new developments and M&A, which you have had a lot over the last five, six years. I mean we had some huge multi-billion dollar transactions. But now we are running out of people to buy or brands to buy, which is very interesting. Which means the market is changing and there's so much money out there. I mean investors have more money than they have places to spend it at. Which is really interesting because you're gonna see a lot of organic things popping up everywhere and the pressure of a lot of companies. And I mean let's face it, data centers are one of the most profitable assets at the moment. I think it's growing at about 21% every year. If you look at all the charts, I mean compared to any other industry, any other verticals, let's again, the real world verticals, data centers are outperforming everything. And I think this is gonna carry on for at least another 10, 20 years. So that's quite safe. I think then you have things like the hyperscale is as well, just keeping expanding so there's a standard trend. Let's call it like that. But now it's interesting that they're moving into more and developed markets. So Southeast Asia, you're starting to see them dipping their toes into Africa, which is very interesting. I mean, there's a billion people in Africa and almost no data centers at all. I mean, New York has way more data centers than the entire, the African continent. And New York is what? 20 million people versus one billion. So that kind of puts things in perspective. So we are very far behind on a global scale as with that way. So there's a lot of opportunity, which then, I mean, the last trend I'm always watching and I really like. And you've seen that with my work I've done for you guys as well. It's the explosion of some market. So data centers coming into new markets be it Spain and Europe, Italy, or be it India, in Asia Pacific, being South Africa, Nigeria. It's really fun to see those markets growing and investors really paying attention to them. Yeah, so it's the most exciting time to be a tech journalist, probably in the history of tech journalism, certainly a tech geek like myself is really fascinated by all the emerging tech out there from electric vehicles to supersonic transport, to a hyperloop, space travel. I mean, you name it, there's something really cool and innovative happening. So what are you most excited about in terms of emerging technologies? I mean, there's quite a lot. On a consumer level, I think screenless displays is quite an interesting one. But this is on my consumer capitalist side of things. So I think that would be quite a cool thing to have, not to have like this big LCD in your living room and just the black box when it's not on. And you can just project things or anything hologram wise, visual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality. So the screenless display thing, I think that's going to be quite interesting. For the industry, I think there's two probably big things, which is Griffin. And I actually had the opportunity to interview a constant team, Novoselov, if I'm pronouncing it right, he's a Russian-British physicist and he actually won the Nobel Prize in 2010 with his partner, Andrei Gim, come pronounce these things properly. But I mean, it's really interesting because Griffin basically allows you to, in terms of communications will be faster without the communications data, data transfers to be faster than they are now. It reduces the covering footprint as well because they consume less and you use less material than you will do with normal materials, I guess. For example, one of the things that he told me is that if you wanted to replace all the phone screens on the planet with Griffin, you only need 60 kilos of it. I mean, that's 60 kilos versus I don't know, I don't even know how many tones we use of plastic and glass to build our phone screens. In the data center space, it's going to be very interesting to see how people use it for heat management and thermal management. And there's a study in Sweden that has actually found that you can reduce heat management with heat consumption, I think with the individual processor or the server, by 25%, which is a lot, because as we know, I mean, that's one of the biggest deals in the data center space. And then as well, there's this new thing that they're looking at, which is lithium-graphing, which if they get it right, it will basically replace most of the battery and generators in the data center space, which would then free up a lot of floor space, which means more money and more space to put servers to make more money. And actually speaking of space, I think that one is going to be really disruptive in the next 50 plus years. If they really get it right and it gets commercialized properly, it's DNA storage. So I found about DNA storage at a Microsoft conference a few years ago, I think it was 2017 or something. And this scientist, he came to the stage and she started talking about it. And as she was talking about it, most people just start living. And I was like, this is actually quite interesting.  Now you need to translate this to something else. But it's basically, you can put a lot of data in a small smear and that smear will be enough to replace, well, actually that smear, if you put enough together about the size of two dices, so about the size of your thumb, that could replace the data center with 200,000 square feet. So I mean, there will be very, very disruptive to the industry. There's a few challenges with DNA storage, like retrieving the data sometimes, but they are getting through those stages and there's different levels of development that they've gone through, which includes storing and restoring, I think the British encyclopedia or something like that. So there's all those nice things that data scientists do, I think getting through it. So I think of the next 10 years, you'll see something being commercialized and then of course, they'll have to have market education. The pricing needs to come down. I mean, it'll be very disruptive if it really picks up. It doesn't mean that maybe everything will go into it, but if a lot of things go into it, that'll be very interesting. Because I think there's a stat that says that by 2030, we are only going to be able to store 3% or 5% of the data that we produce on this planet. And by 2040, it's only 0.5%, which means we can't store anything. And I mean, people are looking in storage in space and everything, but they're just too expensive. I mean, you all know everyone has $100 million to put in a storage facility in space. They might be hit by a meteor, then you lose your $100 million in all of the people's data. So I think we have to look at options within our earth confines. Very long answer.  I like that as well. You know, you just blew my mind by going, you know, outside to the hypers, you know, space data consolidation and management and storage to going nano too. Really, really crazy. It sounds like a new world. Like, you know, Tom Cruise is listening in, taking notes for his next sci-fi, you know, action movie.  But now, you know, with COVID, we've built some necessary infrastructure to really stay in pace for all the needs of the future. So with that, is there anything you may have used or experienced in the past year that you don't think you would have tried if it weren't for the pandemic? Well, in the biggest scheme of things, I would say working from home. Because I actually, I do like going to the office and being around other human beings and talking and just having a banter and going for a drink at the end of the day has all changed pretty much too. But, you know, on the technology front, nothing has really changed because I mean, if you're in the office, if you're at home or if you're in the field reporting on something, you kind of use the same things that you use now. So we did a lot of web in our links or Zoom calls as well. All the apps on your phone, we used to use them all anyway. Teams, email, everything was being used. The only thing that probably I started doing that I wasn't touching on yet was probably a podcast. So I started them, I think, towards the end of summer last year. So maybe there was a good thing coming out of the pandemic was forcing me into the podcast route. But other than that, I wouldn't say it has really changed my digital usage. But, I mean, our industry hasn't really well though. So there hasn't been really any shortages. There hasn't been any massive problems. And I think they've managed to cope very well. I mean, we know that in Europe, there's been some rationing of bandwidth, which is very interesting to see how governments stepping into that one with the operators to make sure everyone will have access to bandwidth and making sure the emergency service will be able to cope. So I think out of everything bad, there's always positives that comes out of it. And I think the pandemic really brought a really nice side of our industry, which is put everyone working together, competitive to this partner's communities to really keep getting the internet and the digital world going. And I mean, there's no stepping back. I think, in my personal opinion, this is not a stat that's in any way, in my personal opinion, I think we've sort of advanced 10 years in terms of digital adoption, maybe in the last 12 months. Great insights. We're part of this hyper-connected industry, this world on this call, but what do you enjoy doing to disconnect, to take a mental health break, to let go of all the devices and apps and really get away? I mean, out of lockdown, Jim. Because right now, we can't do any of that. We're still in lockdown in the UK, so it was about quite a few weeks to go. But yeah, I mean, usually just Jim just going out with friends. I mean, Lish is having a chat with someone face-to-face. And I think those things we value, those things a lot more now than we did before. Just being physically close to someone and having a conversation is completely different. It's the amount of times I...  But when I go out now, I actually struggle to speak to another human being face-to-face. He takes a few seconds for the brain to be like, oh, there's another person here. How do I talk to this person now? So this looks quite nice. But I mean, Jim, just being around friends, I know it sounds very cliche, but it's pretty much it. Netflix has become a big thing over the last 12 months. I don't think I'll be Netflixing as much once things open up. Yeah, I was hoping there'd be a bottle of Porto and a beach in Portugal in this answer. Somewhere, but Selevi will have to wait till next spring. Well, I am always working, though. That's the thing, because I mean, we might be in lockdowns and everything, but I'm always at my laptop. So even if I was somewhere, I wouldn't really be doing everything I was doing.  So it was exactly the same thing as being in London apart from the weekend. The beauty of a laptop is you can transport it to the beach. So it's an amazing thing. But then the sun overheats it. I have done that. And you can't really see the screen. Oh, I'll give you some tips here on beach-friendly laptop computing. But Jamie, I think you have some more questions, too. Yeah, I'm excited about this next section because, again, data movers were unique and that we really want to see in here the backgrounds of our industry leaders. So this is a fun section called Rapid Fire. We're just, you know, respond with the first thing that comes to mind. So let's talk Netflix. You mentioned it. What's the last series you watched on Netflix and do you recommend it? I definitely recommend it. I'd say whoever did it was probably quite high when they did it. It's Aliens World or Aliens World or something like that. It's basically, it's this thing where they created like a sci-fi doco film. I think it's the British one as well. And they look into how life works on Earth and then imagined life in exoplanets. I mean, this has nothing to do with data sensors. So it's nothing to do with it. It's really interesting because some of the creatures that they came up with, like the arms and the eyes and the way they defeat themselves and the predators.  It's, I don't know. You just, it's not like your normal watching. It's not like behind her eyes or of widgets or something like that. But it is interesting.  We don't need to go anywhere else. I'm a big sci-fi gal. So I might get a series like that. So what are three words that other people use to describe you? Let's go for the good one. I mean, I'll say probably ambitious. I'm always thinking more. I mean, even the media took another thing, kind of shows that. Reliable, I'm very reliable and loyal. And I do really appreciate that with people as well. I'll probably just say hardworking.  Make sure you get some.  I absolutely agree with those three words, knowing you as well as we do here at JSA. You are absolutely reliable, hardworking, ambitious, but, you know, good hearted too. Just anyway, if you could go one place in the world right now, if there were no travel restrictions, where would it be? I mean, because right now it's hard not to think of travel restrictions. So with that, I would probably say Israel, just for the facts that are fully open and the vaccination program is going well. It's going very well there.  Everything is open. The gyms are open, restrictions are being eased every day. So it's almost like normal life in a very messy world. If things were a bit more normal and easy, then probably go to like Vanatu or something, like those islands there, like north of New Zealand, just get away from everything for a while.  So, I'm interested in this one. Yeah, I mean, so I'm really bad with names though. That's the problem. I can memorize places in my head with maps, but I can't memorize the names. And there's quite a few. I'll probably say, because I really like deserts, I'm a big desert person. It's one in Berlin, and I don't really know the name, but I think it's more like a brow, chin, hushbox, to flat something like that. I mean, I can look for the name and you can put it on this. Well, it's like a link here. I mean, my German is not the best. It's in between like the Brandenburg gates and the checkpoint, Charlie. And it's in a small square.  So you get the meat from where they also sell it to outside.  And there's one, I think, Imperial, which I haven't found anywhere else. It's really good to stout. And the ice cream, it's homemade, meat, beer and ice cream. That's my favorite. So I can't wait to go Berlin again. And last question, what is the favorite app on your phone? What do you use most often? I think it is a huge one that I always use, but I think a new one that I've come across recently, it's Pocket, because I think as a journalist, it's actually quite a useful one to have. So basically, wherever you go on your phone, like any Chrome pages or Apple pages, Google News, Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, whatever, you can save those articles into this app and then go back to them later. So it's a nice aggregate. It's a very easy thing to aggregate the news that you don't have time to read. And then you actually can build a profile there for yourself as well and share some news that you really feel like, oh, this will be good for my audience. And you can share some of them. So you have the private site. Yeah, downloading it now, that's a great tip. All three of us are like, yes, yes, yes. So thank you so much for joining us, Zhao. It's such an honor and so fun to just catch up and learn about what makes you tick as you are certainly helping our industry really learn and grow with your coverage. So we appreciate you. Yeah, well, thank you for having me. And I mean, thank you to the industry as well because a lot of people have had the patience to teach a lot of things to me. So it's always a good thing. And guys, if you enjoyed today's Data Movers podcast, hope you did. Be sure to check out more, jsa.net slash podcast. Every other week on Wednesday morning, we release a new episode. Yeah, and be sure to follow us on Twitter. My favorite media platform, the JSCADA with Evan Kerstel, where we can continue the conversation. Absolutely, and as always guys, happy networking. Thank you.


The original problem in graph theory concerned the following problem. The city of Kenigsberg, on the banks of the Praegel River, had several bridges. Is it possible to walk through the city, nose swimming, and cross each bridge exactly once? The problem was first solved by Leonard Euler. Euler's work on the subject is a good example of how mathematics develops. It's worth keeping in mind that you shouldn't actually try to learn mathematics. Instead, you should learn how to create mathematics. To gain a better understanding of the process, we'll approach this problem, as Euler did, without knowing the answer, and without having a language to describe the problem. The first step is realizing that the essential relationship is whether or not two locations have a bridge between them. So it can reduce the complexities of a map of Kenigsberg down to its essentials, and we can simply label the locations A, B, C, and D, and we can also label the bridges with lowercase letters A through G. And this allows us to describe any path as a sequence, letters representing the locations and the bridges. So we might start at A, cross bridge C to C, cross bridge G to D, cross bridge F to B, cross bridge A back to A, and so on. So consider a location A with any number of bridges onto it. If our path uses all the bridges, how many times will this location A appear? Now if there's an odd number of bridges, then the trail must begin or end at the location. That's because if we don't start at the location, then each time we visit and leave, we'll eliminate two bridges. Eventually, we'll take the last bridge in and be unable to leave. Euler could have stopped here, since in the original problem, all four locations have an odd number of bridges leading to them. And what would happen is we'd start at one location and at another location, but there would be two locations we couldn't have taken all the bridges to. But the goal isn't to solve the problem. Remember, it's the journey, not the destination. So let's take on this a little bit more. If there's only one bridge to a location, then the path will either begin on the location, and so the location would be the beginning of our path, or end on the location, and so our path would finish with A. And in either case, the location will appear once. If there are three bridges, then the path either begins or ends on the location, and the location will appear once more when the other two bridges are used. So it'll either appear once at the beginning, and then once more someplace in the middle, when the other two bridges are used, or it'll appear once in the middle, and then once at the very end, when the last bridge is taken, so the location appears twice. If there are five bridges, then the location must appear three times, and in general, if there are two k plus one bridges, the location must appear k plus one times. Thus, in a path through Kennecksberg, A has five bridges into it, so it must appear three times, B has three bridges into it, so it must appear twice, C also has three bridges, so it must appear two times, and likewise D, and so our path must include three As, two Bs, two Cs, and two Ds. Since a bridge must appear between each letter, this means we need eight bridges, but we only have seven bridges, so it's not possible to cross all bridges exactly once. While none of the Kennecksberg locations have an even number of bridges leading to them, or they're considered this case anyway, with two bridges, if the path begin at the location, it would appear twice, otherwise it would appear once, and in general, with two N bridges, the location would appear N plus one or N times, depending on whether we started there or started someplace else. Euler turned this into an algorithm for deciding if it was possible to find a path crossing each bridge exactly once. Write down the locations of the number of bridges leading to them, if the number is odd, add one and divide by two, if the number is even, divide by two. If the sum is not equal to the number of bridges plus one, then it is not possible to find a path that crosses each bridge exactly once. For example, let's analyze the map shown, and we have our locations A through F, and we count the number of bridges leading to each location. So A has eight bridges, B has four, C has... Now since D and E have an odd number of bridges, then we add one and divide by two. The remaining numbers are even, so we divide by two. And we might also note that since D and E have an odd number of bridges, any path that uses all the bridges must start at one and end at the other. And so any path must include four A's, two B's, two C's, two D's, three E's and three F's, passing through a total of, and this requires 15 bridges, and since we have 15 bridges, a path crossing each bridge exactly once is possible. Or is it? Actually, Euler's algorithm only proves that it's not impossible to find a path crossing each bridge exactly once. We would call this a necessary condition. But just because it's not impossible, it doesn't mean that it is possible. For that, we'll need to introduce more graph theory.


This study proposes a novel spatiotemporal fitting algorithm to gap-fill the Daily Modi's aerosol optical depth, AOD, product, which is suitable for large area application with high efficiency to obtain Gapless AOD with reasonable spatial pattern and complete coverage. The algorithm is a multi-stage method aimed to address the non-stationary nature of AOD time series. The proposed algorithm outperforms the interpolation-based correlation weighting, ICW, and inverse distance weighting, IDW, algorithms in accuracy and meets the need of typical applications in relevant studies. The algorithm is transferable to other regions with the potential to be used even operationally and efficiently for generating accurate Gapless Global Daily AOD datasets with the input of only Modi's Maya KOD data. This article was authored by Dao Zhong, Yu Yu Zhu, Kai Guang Zhao, and others.


Well, Mr. Vice President, it's a pleasure to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you again. Mr. Vice President, it's a pleasure to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you again. Well, Mr. Vice President, it's a pleasure to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you, sir, well I'm delighted to see you again. Oh, listen, thank you again for your time. Well, that's all we can think of. Yes, I know that very well. You're all going out to California and I envy you. Oh, we're going to Florida too. We're going to California. Let's go. Thanks, well, I ask you this, sir. I can't believe we're meeting here. Well, God bless you all. Cannot ignore the military factor here. Security must prevail if we are to go forward with the things that we want to do with the Caribbean Basin Initiative, with the recommendations of the commission, how we can help economically and social reforms and so forth in those countries down there. And I just want to emphasize that. And I'm open for whatever David anyone would like to say now in the limited time that I have here. I know that I just wear it. That's what Gomez is here, Mr. President. Gomez, I just wanted to say, you are so pleased that you are here and with us. Mr. Krueger, Mr. and Matthew Kitty, the executive director of the Department of Justice, and Mr. Hayes, all of you are there to say good-bye to you. The book has a presentation. Of association, Mr. Krueger. Thank you very much. I appreciate this very much. I'm honored. And Dr. McAuliffe, of course, there's a shirt here. Thank you. It took the sun. This will get you every benefit in the world for being on the back of the phone. And I'll command them to be there. We're proud of you, too. Well, thank you. You make me very proud. I'm wondering if you have a group photo. Mr. Krueger, what is this? Thank you, sir. You're right. Well, I appreciate this very much. So thank you for what you do to move. I appreciate it very much. Thank you. I'm proud of you, sir. Mr. President, you have a broad representation of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force. What do you got to say? Well, I know that sometimes, as you do, you have so many clothes on. Yes, sir. There are some time bars there. There are times there. Thank you very much, Mr. President. I have to tell you one little story that maybe you've noticed sometimes with some TV shots or something, that I return the solutes of those Marines out there. I didn't at first because I knew I wasn't in uniform. Also, I tried to nod to them and speak, and the hand wouldn't come down. They just stood there. That salute, so I was over at the Marine Headquarters one night. I said to the General Barrett there, I said, you know, there ought to be some regulation or something that if I'm the Commander-in-Chief and they're going to salute you, then I ought to be able to return the salute. This was very early in my first few months here. And he said, well, Mr. President, I think if you did return it, no one would say anything. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Hi, cousin. How are you? Fine. It's nice to see you. How are you? Good to see you again, sir. Good to see you. You're looking great. Well, I feel good. Good. Good to see you again after all this time. You know what I think? It is really long this time.  When I noticed that, if you recall the tension of the fact that Jenny, my mother's sister, was your great-great grandmother. She was my aunt. She was a little generational difference here. That's true. That's true. But there's even a gap a few years between you and your cousin, Charlie, too. He was, he had a few years on you. Oh, yes. Yeah. That was the youngest of all of us. Oh, was that right in the family? Jenny wasn't the oldest. I'll see what's. And I'll see what's. Good to see you. You're both in the universe here. Yes, you're having an inner service round. We keep it to a minimum. We just wanted to stop in and let you know that... Nice to see you, I think. That's good to see you. Oh, look, wonderful. May I present this is Frank Bowers and that Arthur Weber. He is the founder and the publisher of the Conceived Artist. And this is the editor and they have an award for you. So I'm going to look in and present it to you. Mr. President, on behalf of the editors and publishers of Consumers Digest magazine, we'd like to award you this distinguished leadership award for all you have done on behalf of consumers as voted by our more than one million subscribers to Consumers Digest magazine. Congratulations. It's very heavy. But he's strong. Congratulations. They have just done a survey that you'll be interested in. Two issues ago, I ran a We the People survey in which I asked my subscribers, among other questions, who they planned on voting for in the next election. And I'm happy to tell you that as of the day before yesterday, the ballot being indicated of 2,500 ballots that you'll be calling a 62% majority. Maybe we should let them do all our polling. By the way, our Consumers demand value. And they're saying that you are giving them value. Absolutely. This is a copy of the magazine. I don't, I have these two. Yes, maybe yes. I have one on either side. And I don't really, I sort of do a little plug here just casually. Thank you, sir. All right, thank you very much. Well, thank you and good luck in the election. And again, for all of you.


Hi everybody, I'm Sandy Olnok, artist and paper crafter, and I have a couple announcements for you today. One is that my new website is finally up and running. Oh my gosh, this redesign has taken a long time, poured a lot of hard and soul into it, and I hope that it's going to be both easier to navigate as well as more functional than it has been crossing fingers. The second thing I want to announce is new content in the store, and that is by popular demand, so you guys asked for it, and it's here. Back in October 2015, I did this over on Periscope. I pulled out my sketchbook and just started drawing monsters. Everybody in chat started shouting out what kind of monsters you wanted me to draw, make one tall, make one fat, make one hairy, make one that looks like a balloon, all different kinds of things, and I think it was a lot of kids that were joining in on that too. It was a lot of fun to do, and many of you asked if I would put that in the store so you could buy it and download it and color it. I almost did that right away, and I thought, wait a minute, I am all about teaching. So I wanted to teach you how to do some sketching.  So I've put together a whimsical sketching class, and the class will teach you how to do five different types of images. They start out simpler, we start out with some flowers, and we move into some more complex images.  We have a crazy one at the end so that those who want to go nuts have some tips on how to do that. There's a pre-class video where I'll talk about the supplies you might want to get to do this, but you probably already have paper and a black pen, which is really all you need, but I'll tell you the supplies that I used. On the last day, we're going to have an idea for how you can do this with stamps. So those of you who are stampers will also have that as an option in class. If you don't really want to learn how to do this, you just want to color them. I have a new coloring book that has ten images in it, five are the ones from class, and there are five other ones, and they're even more complicated than the ones in class, but they're a whole lot of fun. And I hope that one or the other of these would be of interest to you. If you want both, if you want to have the five images from class plus the ones in the coloring book, then there's also a combined price. You get a discount if you buy both of them. So that is what I have to share for today. I hope that that is something that makes those of you who want to do a little sketching kind of happy. It's more for beginners than it is for advanced folks, but you're all welcome to come and try it and sketch along with me. Alrighty, I'll see you guys over on the website. Links in the doobly-doo. Bye-bye.


Good afternoon, runners of the Marine Corps Marathon. Captain Brian Lex Luthor here from the USS George H.W. Bush. I'd like to thank the Marine Corps Marathon for allowing us to run here while we are deployed, for deployed off the shores of enduring freedom. Every little bit of America that we can bring to us here makes the deployment go a little faster. And we like the challenge of the few to crowd the Marines. Good luck to everybody running in the 36th Marine Corps Marathon, because that's how we roll on the George H.W. Bush. First time I ran the Marine Corps Marathon was in Washington, DC. And the second time is now while I'm on a seven-month deployment on the USS George H.W. Bush. There's definitely some unique challenges training for Marathon out here.  So there's some challenges there. Equipment being up is sometimes tough. And then, of course, finding time to actually run. I've run a few Marine Corps Marathons in the past. And when it came up and I saw their opportunity arose, I thought it would a great chance to another challenge, because I'm always yearning for new challenges. And what better way than running a marathon on an aircraft carrier?


We will call the fifth, whoa, we will call the fifth regular meeting of the comic council to order, Pat, would you call the roll, please?

We have a motion before us and a second at the minutes of the previous council meeting stand approved under discussion. Hearing none, all in favor? Opposed? Motion carried. Pledge of Allegiance, Alderman Stephan. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Alderman Stephan. Brother Nation, Steve? I have a letter dated May 18th to Mayor Shram from City Clerk Patricia Lose advising that of her intention to retire from her position as City Clerk effective June 20, 2004. That can be accepted and placed on file. What we will do with Pat's position is we will hold it open for the next two weeks for anyone interested in applying for the position. If anyone wants to apply, please get your name to my office and then after the 20th we will make an open who will appoint. Of course I will appoint and the council will approve so hopefully we can get another City Clerk. Yes, in the appointment only goes until April 5th and that person being here, she will have to rerun for that office. Alderman Perez. Thank you, honor. Being that Pat is Lose's position, is it an elected position that the mayor gets to appoint? Correct. Any other questions? Alderman Peterson. I would like to say I've worked with Pat on both sides of the table and I really enjoyed working with Pat these past 14 years. Thank you.  Don't say anything. Okay. Well, I do. Pat's not only been a very good friend but she does an excellent job and we surely are going to miss her. I hate to see her go, but I truly want to wish her the best of luck. She's retiring, she's moving out to Arizona, correct? I already bought a home out there so she wants to go out where the weather is warmer and good luck. Good luck on everything, Pat. Thank you. Best wishes. Thank you. Mayor's appointment, Steve. The following appointments for your consideration to the Community Health Insurance Advisory Task Force.

Motion carried. Thank you, Bob. Before we get into tonight's hearing, we have one hearing, but before we get into that, we do have a gentleman from transit with us. And that is Joe Lam. And Joe has award from KMI 2004 rodeo division championship. It's by the state bus rodeo. It's championship for division one. This is the third time you won the state champion championship, Joe. And he was competing some of the best bus driving skills. So with that, and they also have a citation from my office. Also from Ron McDonald. Citation for community service award to Joe Lam. With that, Joe, congratulations. That's a good job. People sticky off. They're sticky off. It's always good to recognize our employees in the city and when they do an excellent job. Again, congratulations. Good job. Tonight we have one hearing and that's rezoning the property located at 1416 and 1418 Erie Avenue. Any interested persons wishing to be heard? Any interested persons wishing to be heard? Alderman Graw. And I'll move that the hearing be closed. Move to second that the hearing be closed under discussion. Hearing none, all in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. Public forum panel. Okay. Consent agenda 5-1 through 5-22. Alderman Warner. Okay. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that all our O's be accepted and placed on file.

All our C's be accepted and adopted. Ordnance, substitute ordinances be put upon your passage. Under discussion. Alderman Rennfelsch. Thank you, Your Honor. I ask the pull forward 5-17 and take a separate vote on that. 5-17. Proceed. Any discussion on it? No discussion since I'm actually on that list. I wish to abstain separately. Separate vote on 5-17. I don't have enough signatures on the IRC. I have one. Law and licensing. Oh, law and licensing. He's not here. So would you help me please? He's the only one who's signed. Alderman Graw. I'm asking for abstentions. Is it necessary to abstain if your name is on that list? Okay. Yeah. On 5-17. Call the roll. Call the roll, please. Berg. Aye. Serda. Aye. Graf. Stain. Manny. Aye. Montemayor. Aye. Perez. Aye. Peterson. Stain. Van Ackren. Aye. Vanderweel. Aye. Wongerman. Aye. Warner. Aye. Bauman. Aye. Eleven ayes. No nays. Three abstentions. Motion passed. Alderman Bauman. Thank you, Your Honor. Although there were no persons present for the rezoning of the property at 1416, 1418 Erie Avenue, as a matter of principle, I'm still going to vote against it and I'll just state to the residents in the area that I would do so. Did you want a separate vote on that? I'll just do it during the... Then you're voting for all the... No one, all the consent. Let's do it on this separately, please. Okay. That's what I'm saying. That's number 5-4. Would you call the roll on that one? Serda. Aye. Graf. Aye. Manny. Aye. Montemayor. Aye. Perez. Aye. Peterson. Aye. Vanderweel. Aye. Wongerman. Aye. Warner. Aye. Bauman. No. Berg. No. 11 ayes, 3 noes. Motion carried. Alderman Warner. I think, Your Honor, I'd like to just speak on document 522. Okay. Just to say I had a lot of people in my district that are impacted by this and I'm glad the public works committee was able to work on this with them. It's a very important change in the joint sewage treatment agreement the city has with the town of Sheboygan. And at one time, some city residents were paying an upcharge to the town of Sheboygan that resulted in higher sewer bills than their counterparts in the city that did not have to share sewers with the township. This document rectifies that problem. It was worked out with the town of Sheboygan. And I guess I would just ask Tom, if he can give me an estimate of when the residents that were in the city that changed on their sewer bill. Just another discussion on documents. Pat, what did you call her old? Grof. Manny. Montemare. Perez. Peterson. Rindfleisch. Steffen. Van Akron. Vanderweel. Wongerman. Warner. Bowman. Berg. Serda. 14 ayes. Motion carried. 523 by Alderman Rindfleisch from the Sheboygan Citizens Action Group regarding guest memberships at the Sheboygan Yacht Club. Alderman Rindfleisch. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the document be filed. Place on file. Move to the second document. Place on file. Under discussion. Thank you, Your Honor. Last year there was a letter sent to this committee which was acted on and sent to the ethics board discussing activities by some Alderman that didn't name any names and didn't name any activities specifically. So there was therefore no one that could defend themselves by these accusations. This one does not have a name actually attached to it. We know it's from the Sheboygan Action Group by the title, but there's no proof of that. Anybody can create a Yahoo account with that name on there. I was hoping that if someone was making these accusations that through the public forum they'd be able to speak on these accusations, but no one appeared here either. So much like, you know, there is somebody here named that needs to defend themselves, perhaps, but there's no one that may actually do so. So as such I moved to file it. Alderman Peterson. Thank you, Mayor. I guess I'd like to say, you know, we have account membership in the chamber and I've taken advantage of many programs. I pay for meals and, you know, dinners and things like that. I think this is nothing different than that. It really broadens our base of understanding and support with community groups, but to me it's no different than the chamber. We have account membership. We pay for the events we go to. I think that's a fair and good way to solve it. Thank you. Ed Surik. Could you explain that letter that came in? There were some inaccurate quotes in there? I'd like to point out that number one, I'm a member of the Shiborgen Yacht Club in good standing and did get a copy of the letter sent to all the persons and a little disturbed about it. I did talk to Mike Rosh, he's our Commodore, and he asked me to convey the message that he had, this is not a complimentary membership, it is only a guest pass. And that make it short and sweet, there are no privileges. He said that, infer from the letter that someone had tried to get a hold of him, he said he had received no phone calls, there was no emails, no letters to him, no one had tempted to contact him. Something else in the letter concerns me, it says that the Yacht Club refused to respond to our emails requesting information. I talked to Charlotte Liddicon, Charlotte's the office manager there, she received no such emails. It goes down to mention two about not getting information. Talk with Steve Madsen, who is the club manager and he's not the bartender as the letter states. And Steve said that a member of the Shiborgen who identified himself as a member of the Shiborgen Citizens Action Group came into him and he said that he had a meeting with the Commodore at two o'clock and requested to see him and Steve said that the Commodore didn't know what he was talking about. But anyway, we did ask him about this type of membership and Steve said it is a guest membership, there are no voting privileges, there's no doc privileges, you can't vote and you cannot be on any committees and there are 30 other such guest privileges sent out by the Yacht Club. It disturbed me a little bit, I guess the mayor is kind of the ambassador to the city and if he chose to go to the Yacht Club or the Yacht Club or any other religious group and have dinner or join, he shouldn't be condemned for that. I myself and if I'm at dinner at the Yacht Club with my wife and family and the mayor is there, I'd be glad to see that the mayor is attending the Yacht Club. And I thought a couple of other members and they felt it was perfectly fine. It disturbed me that we get these issues and the irony of the whole thing is the subject of the letter is a question of ethics and I'm questioning who's ethics. That's all I got to say. Thank you. He moved for question bill. All in favor of filing? Opposed? Motion carried. 524 to 526 to be referred. 527 through 548 to be referred. 549 through 550 lie over. 551 through 555 to be referred. 553 there's a change in there. It goes to redevelopment authority, not city plan commission. 556 I think it had a chance to collaborate with the applicant to cooperate with the committee and the application's habitual criminal record. Long licensing. Who's handling that? Alderman Manning. Thank you, your Honor. The legislature referred to licensing RC number three 8010 4.0 5. By public protection and safety and RO number 5 and June 30th, 2005. Law and licensing recommends that beverage operators, license number 5624, Stephen Emerethal be denied, based on his failure to cooperate with the committee and his habitual criminal record. We have a motion before us in a second. All of them are made. He didn't make a motion. He didn't make a motion. I move that the license be denied. See if he's here. I looked earlier, he was not. He is not here. My quarter. All in the order. Okay. Stephen did not show up for the meeting on the 25th and has not responded to overtures. This has been more than the second time. What's that? Would you call the roll please? Graf, Manny, Montemare, Perez, Peterson, Rinflaich, Steffen, Ben Akron, Vanderwill, Wongerman, Warner, Baumann, Berg, Sirda, 14 ayes. Motion carried, 557 by law and licensing denied beverage operator license 6362, based on the applicant's criminal record, making him ineligible for a license. Alderman Manny. Thank you, Your Honor. Council did refer back to law and licensing, RC number 190405 and RO number 40405. And we did meet and discuss and he was present at the May 25th meeting. And Assistant Attorney Chuck Adams clarified the fact that he is ineligible by due of his criminal record. So I move that the license be denied. Moved and seconded, license be denied under discussion. Could you clarify for the record whether Mr. Crispin is right here? He's not here. And one other thing. Okay, go ahead. Just to clarify, there was some confusion at the last meeting. Some of it was my doing because I wasn't aware of the specific convictions on Mr. Crispin's record. But it ties into the statutory requirements for eligibility for a license. Generally there is a, it says right out in the statutes that if you have a felony, you're ineligible. But then beyond that, there's a whole another series of law dealing with discrimination against a number of things, one of which is arrest in criminal records, conviction records, and there's a series of cases dealing with the, you see it a lot in employment, whether you hire a person, whether they've got a particular crime in their background or not. And generally the law is that as it comes, as it relates to liquor licensing, is that even if it's a felony, it needs to be substantially related to the licensed activity. That's the standard that the courts have adopted. However, in the last about five years, there was some new legislation added that's part of the liquor licensing law that gives a list of about four different convictions that are generally related to possession or distribution of controlled substances that says irrespective of the discrimination laws on criminal convictions and arrest records, if you have convictions of these things, you are not eligible for a liquor license. It's basically what it says. So that's what we've got here. So I wanted to clarify that for the council. I know there was some confusion at the last meeting. Alderman Groth, he answered my question. Thank you. Alderman Montemire. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So Steve, occasionally somebody, depending upon their particular felony, may still get a bartender's license. That's right, the mere fact of a felony in and of itself is generally, unless it's one of those designated ones that you've got to look beyond that. You've got to look into the circumstances of it. And the standard is it needs to be substantially related to the licensed activity. So there must be more additions to that particular rule that says, if you have a felony, you cannot get a liquor be a bartender. No, get a bartender's license. So there must be more additions to that particular phrase. Well, that phrase in the statute was never changed. That still says that. But as I say, there's case law that applies arrest and conviction record discrimination kind of on top as a judicial layer over and above that. And I think as a legislative response to the courts saying it's kind of, you got to look at each fact and circumstance that came out and the legislature said, that may be true, but in these particular cases, you're not going to be eligible for a licensed period. So it's a little battle, I think, between the legislature and the courts as to eligibility for those sorts of things and what factors you look at. Thank you, Steve. Okay. There's another discussion. Would you call the roll please? Manny. Aye. Montemayor. Aye. Perez. Aye. Peterson. Aye. Rindflige. Aye. Stephan. Aye. Van Akron. Aye. Vanderbilt. Aye. Wongamon. Aye. Warner. Aye. Bauman. Aye. Berg. Aye. Serta. Aye. Graf. Aye. 14 ayes. Motion carried. 558 through 562 to be referred. 463. Matters laid over. Resolution by Alderman Warner. Amending resolution which added the chairman of the committee as a whole as a member of the strategic plan committee. Alderman Warner. I thank you, Your Honor. I would move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Move to second resolution be put upon its passage. Under discussion. Under discussion, Your Honor, historically the strategic fiscal planning committee was comprised of the five members of the standing committees, the five chairpersons of the standing committees. When we went to four standing committees in order to keep the balance of having the five people on that, the committee, the whole chairman was put onto it. Now that we're back into the five standing committees, that's why the committee, the whole chairman's taken off of strategic fiscal planning. And that's what this resolution will do. Is there another discussion, Pat? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. 447, a resolution by Alderman Groff, Stefan, Berg, Manny, and Monty Mayer, authorizing transfer appropriations in a 2004 budget. Alderman Groff. Thank you, Your Honor. That resolution, which is 20.04.05 and 21.04.05, which is also a resolution to authorize the transfer of funds to higher seasonal summer employees in the parks department, as well as resolution 20.04.05, which is a resolution to authorize the transfer appropriations in the 2004 budget. I would move that all three resolutions be put upon their passage. Moved in second to three resolutions be put upon their passage under discussion. Which is another discussion, Pat? Would you call the roll please? Monty Mayer. Aye. Perez. Aye. Peterson. Aye. Rinfleisch. Aye. Stefan. Aye. Van Akron. Aye. Van Derweel. Alderman Bauman. Aye. Berg. Aye. Serda. Aye. Graf. Aye. Manny. Aye. I'm sorry. Manny. Aye. 14 ayes. Motion carried. 464, RSC by Public Works, recommending accepting the donation of a sculpture from Dr. Groff and his committee to be placed on the rotary. Alderman Bauman. Thank you, Your Honor. I'd move that the report of a committee be accepted and filed. Adopted? Adopted or filed? Adopted. Adopted, my apology. And who did the second? It's been moved and seconded at the RSC be accepted and adopted under discussion. Okay, Your Honor. Go ahead. Okay, if I could, please, thank you. The sculpture that is being donated, there were a long discussion, I guess, by Dr. Groff and his group. Hard to say sometimes, I guess. And needless to say, that was brought to the Public Works Committee on two separate occasions. And we finally did get to see photographs of the sculpture, which he is going to be donating. And, of course, it would be brought into our city from the east coast. According to the way we worded this, at no cost to the city, that they are solely responsible for transportation and shipping costs of this. It's actually gonna be arriving on two separate semi-trucks. It is that large and heavy. And it'll be placed down at the rotary intersection for approximately two to five years and then, of course, be removed, again, at their expense. Okay, Alderman Perez. Thank you, Your Honor. I was just curious to see if there's any other stipulations in the agreement. What kind of agreement do we have? What if they don't pick it up in two to half years, three years? Who's responsible for it? Maintenance, damage, liability. There's all kinds of things that can happen. I don't know if you're gonna drop a three ton piece of sculpture. You're not gonna be too quick to pick it up either. So I think these are some of the questions that we need to probably work out also. And if they haven't, I'd ask that we probably go back and take a look at that because this is a big piece of art and it's probably a valuable one, too, for these people. So I'd wanna make sure that we're covered when it's accepted. Tom, can you answer that? We talked about the liability of the sculpture in public works and I'm not sure if Dr. Graff has gotten back to me, but is the sculpture on loan to us or is it actually giving it to us? I think it's just on loan to us. So it's up to that group. They're responsible for the damage to it. It's not ours. Tom, correct me if I'm wrong, though there is some cost for a base, right? We have to put a base? Well, we have to throw in maybe a dump truck load of sand to cover up some conduits and some foundations that are there for that sale sculpture, that steel and fluorescent or neon tube sale sculpture is supposed to go in there. That's gonna probably three or $400 worth of sand. We have to dump it in there. You would take care of that, but everything else is on their nickel. Okay, just so there is some costs there for the city, but not much. Okay. Voice vote. All in favor of the motion? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. 458, a general ordinance by Alderman Warner, Vanderweal, Reinflusch, and Sirta, relating to no parking period so as to delete the portions of Northside of New Jersey Avenue near South 14th Street from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., except Saturday, Sundays, and holiday regulations. Alderman Warner. Thank you, Your Honor. I make a motion. The general ordinance be put upon its passage. Move to second to general ordinance will be put upon its passage. Under discussion, Your Honor, this change was requested at the Public Protection and Safety meeting on May 12th by the Police Department Traffic Division. Sergeant Tarkowski was contacted by the Public Works Department regarding a difficult and dangerous situation on this section of New Jersey Avenue during school hours. In the interest of public safety, it is the Public Protection and Safety Committee's recommendation that this change be made. This will be in effect on weekdays only from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and allow regular parking at all other times. It seems that the size of the public works vehicles that have to go down New Jersey Avenue, I'm not sure if it's teachers or whoever's parking along there, and the width of that street, it's a real problem for them to stay without going on two sides of the street and making it down that way. So this will help them be able to make that corner and that turn a little easier, and only impact the residents five days a week, 7 a.m. to 4. Thank you. Is there another discussion? What do you call the roll? Perez. Peterson. Rinfleisch. Steffen. Van Akron. Vanderweel. Wongerman. Warner. Baumann. Berg. Serda. Graf. Manny. Montemay. Forteen. Carried. Other matters, 563 will go to public works. 64 will go to finance. 65 will go to plan commission. You have to get used to this agenda, you need to make this one out. I know. I'm sorry. No, that's okay. 66 city plan commission. 67 to city plan commission. 68 plan commission. 69 public works. 70 special marina committee. So we got them right, okay. And 71 can be accepted and adopted. Alderman Baldwin. Thank you, Your Honor. 571 is an RC by public works recommending, actually okay, filing the documents submitting a communication from Gene Stangle regarding problems with the condition of the corner near his home. I then move that this be accepted and placed on file. We have a motion before us in a second. Under discussion, Alderman Baldwin. Just a personal note, if I may. Go ahead. Before Alderman Baldwin adjourns. No, I'm still wondering. As you know, last month was a pretty tough month. And it was like having another family the way the members of city hall and the various department heads in your office and everybody in city hall responded. They shed a lot of light into a very dark period in my life. And I'm really very proud to be a member of the city hall family if you want to call it that. So I just wanted to give everybody my very special thanks. Thank you, Bill. And we're proud to have you as a member. Okay, we have a motion before us in a second. If there's another discussion, I don't need your roll call, right? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. Other matters? Alderman Warner. I'm sorry. I think I just want to confirm with Pat. You said the 20th. This is your last. We need some more documents. Want to take care of those first? Sure. But is this going to be your last meeting? This is my last meeting. Okay. So before adjournment. Yes. Steve. 572 is a resolution authorizing the purchasing agent to enter a contract for buildings and property insurance coverage. That will go to finance. 573 is a resolution authorizing the appointment of a study committee to address the concern of rising health care costs for employers and employees in both the private and public sectors. And that will lie over? 574 is a resolution accepting the drainage easement from the Spoyganary School District for drainage purposes in, under, and along part of their property. Public works. Alderman Warner, back to you. I think I, I guess I thought it was going to be two weeks and I expected that meant you were going to be here for another council meeting so I didn't really prepare anything to say. So I'm going to have to just say thank you very much for all the help you've been. When I first came on to council as with all of us, the first place you have to go to find out how to get around this place and understand what your documents mean, when to pick them up and what the motions mean and everything come right from Pat.  And it's always been a pleasure working with you. Thank you. Alderman Graf. Thank you, Your Honor. I too wish to extend my thanks to Pat for all that she did but I'm happy that she's going because normally if I help out of the voting polls and I do something wrong, she calls me the next day about it and I don't have to worry about her calling me and hopefully she won't tell anybody else. I need somebody else calling me. Congratulations and good luck. Alderman Ballman. Thank you, Your Honor. Pat also, I too would like to thank you very much. You've given me a lot of guidance and the time that I've been up here and also with the fact that you do live in my district or it won't be much longer. I won't be able to go to your house anymore to have you sign my nomination papers. So I'll be losing one signature there. Thank you. Alderman Ballman. Just to know what I want to wish Pat, good luck also. And I thank you for all the times you let me come in and rummage through all those dusty old files and the girls helped me climbing around in the ceiling, finding, reading books that nobody had read for the last 200 years. And I'm sure when Pat gets to Arizona, everything will be reorganized, reorganized out there and they'll be in just in fine shape. So good luck to you, Pat. Thank you. Alderman Serta. Pat, I just want to thank you for giving me a warm welcome and your integrity in the office is evidenced by the precedence that you've shared in the ladies that I've worked with. So your legacy will continue. Thank you very much. I wish I could say more to all of you, Pat. Move to the second end, Jordan. There's another discussion, all in favor? Aye.


Hey welcome back to our stupid rakes, it's Corbin Rick any false on Instagram Twitter for more juicy content It's a lot of people on Twitter can't ring the bell people in the case squad Today we are reacting to a song and it has Shahid Kapoor Hey, I don't know if this is a dancing one or a romance one or whatever I hope it's a dancing one. We love seeing Shahid dance. We do ask you called dating notch Right Sure, maybe dotting notch dotting notch It's from Pajata poster Nikala hero With Shahid and Nagaris Fuckery Fuckery. Yeah, okay, Nikash Aziz and Neha Kakad Cool. All right ready. Well, yeah, three two one. That was way too short Yeah, that was obviously the abbreviated promo version to promote the song in the movie clearly Oh, man, that was fun. That was a fun song Like that was high high energy high intensity Really really fun song. We got to see she had danced some more not like intense dancing But he danced more than he did in the last one we we watch Oh, yeah Well, and I'll tell you what depending on how long that song is and how much they worked on it and recursed The amount of work they had to do that looks so easy just doing it with energy and smiling But his thighs had to have been burning The amount of plie and deep knee bending on all that stuff It looks so easy when it's done, right? You've got high energy, but I guarantee I'd love to talk to him and say how bad were your thighs hurting working on that song First question Shahid We saw a song dating notch Thighs hurting. Yeah How bad were your thighs hurting to his Currently But yeah, that was that was really oh I had a question in it. I heard them say Chubby chubby and it did a lovey lovey-dovey, which I think is a line in gully boy Lovey-dovey Yeah, what song is it? I don't know I don't remember a lovey-dovey lyric. I know that got I think it's in gully main I think he says Lovey-dovey Something like that. So I think it's the same. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what it means, but he said it in this It probably you know what this reminded me of this reminded me a little bit of Gandhi bot Yeah Right. Yeah, I'd say so. Maybe it's it's not the same film, right? No, that was a That was this one's this one's a little bit quicker But the chorus was almost the exactly the same kind of a feel as gundy bot Gandhi bot gundy gundy gundy gundy gundy gundy gundy I think your bathroom is down and around the realm of corner there if you needed Thank you. I appreciate that Let us know what other Shahid songs we should react to what's his best dancing number? ever ever I'm sure you may have seen it Where we're probably choreographed it that that may be his best that makes sense Yeah, let us know down below

qe upon wp plus qg so let us see in the following figure what are the various energy transfer that takes place in the vapor absorption system now if you look at this diagram this is the vapor absorption system which we have shown schematically so in this we have four main items one is the pump so pump is required for pumping the strong solution of ammonia and water in case of aqua-ammonia system let us consider we pump the strong solution of aqua-ammonia from the absorber to the generator so the first input is the pump work then in case of evaporator the heat is absorbed from the space in the evaporator so this we have shown as qe and it will be at temperature T evaporator we are assuming the temperature of the evaporator is T and heat absorbed is qe whereas in the generator temperature we are assuming is Tg and heat supplied in the generator is qg whereas in case of vapor absorption system the heat is rejected two items two components first is in the condenser and secondly in the absorber so total heat rejected is qe plus qc and which we will assume at temperature T0 or Tc both will be same so let us see what terminology we are going to use for in the derivation let us say qg is equal to heat supplied in the generator qp is equivalent to the work that is supplied so it is in the form of heat supplied equivalent to pump work to the refrigerant then qe is the heat absorbed by refrigerant in the evaporator and qc is here remember we are assuming qc is total heat rejected from condenser and absorber at temperature Tc ok we are not considering separate heat rejected total heat rejected to the atmosphere or cooling water from condenser and absorber at temperature Tc ok now we have seen that temperature in the evaporator generator is Tg temperature in the evaporator is T and temperature in the condenser is going to be Tc so let us see now what we are going to make while deriving this equation we are assuming that all the processes are reversible means without any losses there are no other heat transfer except consider whatever 4 heat transfers we have shown only those we are going to consider means there are no other heat transfers which will come into the picture and third important assumption is very valid assumption for vapor absorption system we are neglecting the pump work pump work being very small compared to the heat supplied in the generator usually it is neglected in case of vapor absorption system and it is negligible compared to heat transfer so we neglect the pump work now let us see how to start the derivation so according to first law of thermodynamics of conservation of energy we can write the total energy entering equal to total energy living now total energy living entering the system if we go back to this particular figure let us go back to this figure so that it will be clear to all of you let us see this figure the total energy entering into the vapor absorption system is summation of qg plus qe heat supplied in the generator whereas total heat coming out is qc which is sum of heat rejected to the cooling water in the condenser and absorber so by first law and because wp is neglected so we can write the first law equation and just now as we have seen here let us go back to that slide and let us see that equation so according to first law of thermodynamics we can write the energy balance as qg plus qe is equal to qc total energy entering equal to total energy living let us call this as equation number one now since we are assuming that this particular all processes are reversible this system is considered reversible according to the clauses equality for reversible system or reversible processes the net change in entropy must be equal to zero nothing but according to second law of thermodynamics therefore we can write by using the second law of thermodynamics change in entropy of generator delta hg plus change in entropy of operator delta hc plus change in entropy of condenser delta hc equal to zero so this net change in entropy has to be zero addition of net change in entropy so because we know that ds is equal to dq by t in differential form so s will be equal to q by t because temperature is constant we can write delta hg as qg upon tg by definition of entropy s is equal to q by t and temperature being constant we can directly write qg upon tg similarly for evaporator I can write qe upon tg similarly for condenser we can write qc upon tg but in condenser the heat is rejected qc is negative because heat is rejected so we get the equation qg upon tg plus qe upon tg minus qc upon tg equal to zero so by rearranging taking this term on the right hand side we can write the equation as qg upon tg less qe upon tg is equal to qc upon tc but as we have written by first law the equation number one that total energy entering is equal to total energy leaving so from equation one we already know that the qc that is total heat rejected in the condenser is sum of heat supplied in the generator plus heat absorbed in the evaporator so qc is equal to qg plus qe so if we put this qc equal to qg plus qe in this above equation then we will get the equation as the left hand side will remain same see here left hand side is same qg upon tg plus qe upon tg equal to qc we are replacing by qg plus qe so qc will be replaced by qg plus qe divided by temperature of qc now this term we can split further and we can write the equation as qg upon tg plus qe upon t is equal to qg by tc separation of the terms plus qe upon tc just we have separated the term now we will rearrange the equation to get the equation in required format so now what we have done we have brought the terms consisting of qe on one side and qg on other side so by rearranging the terms in the previous slide for example i will show you here in the previous slide what we are rearranging so we have already qe upon t over here so this qe upon tc i am taking on the left hand side so we will get qe upon t which will be equal to qg upon tc and this we take right hand side qg minus minus qg upon tg so by rearranging the term what we are getting is that qe upon tg minus qg upon tc is equal to qg upon tc minus qg upon tg it is simple rearrangement so taking qe and qg outside the bracket we will get qg into one upon minus one upon tc qg into one upon tc minus one upon tg now so when you simplify the bracketed term you get qg into tc minus te upon tc into qg into bracket tg minus tc upon tc into tg just simplification so finally we will get qe is equal to qg into te upon tc minus te into tg minus tc upon tg so finally we know that cop is what refrigerating effect upon its supply which is nothing but qe upon qg so if you put this qe upon qg in this equation I mean q term in this equation so qg will be there in the numerator and denominator that will get cancelled and we get the equation of cop as tc minus te into another bracket tg minus tc upon te remember these values are to be taken in degree kelvins so if you compare this then you will can see that this is the equation of Carnot refrigerator working between the temperature limit of te and tc whereas this is the equation of Carnot engine working between the temperature limit of te and tc so cop of vapor absorption system can be considered as product of cop of Carnot refrigerator into Carnot engine so let us see this in graphical form so vapor absorption system we can consider as combination of heat engine and refrigerator so heat engine operating between the temperature limit te and tc between te and te so this combination we can consider as vapor absorption system these are the references thank you
