Mass Ave to carry carry way to school of court. How do you want it? I'm ready to make a motion that may be controversial, but I'll do it that we Take I move that we change the rules to Unrestricted parking essentially because I think that's the only to my knowledge is the only real category We have on the high school side of Mass Ave for that block and we enforce the signs on the opposite side of the road now do Do you want a sticker system or you first come first serve? I'm pretty conflicted about a sticker system just because we have chosen so far in the past not to implement it because of The challenges that it has for our enforcement offices because we don't have meaningful enforcement or you know Parking department or a sticker system. We do in a lot, but we don't on the street And which is why we haven't done a lot of rest on resident parking So I'm open to talking about that in a future like basically what I'm doing One of the things I guess I'm trying to head towards in this meeting is saying yes We should allocate that part of Mass Ave towards helping high school parking And if we come back later and we talk about a different way of allocating that parking But my general goal is carve out that part just help the high school and Continue to enforce and the rest Now would it make sense this might be for Doug that if we just allocate those spots to the school Would it then be the school committees per view to decide how it is used by? the employees at the school My impression of that is that because that's a public way. I don't know that you can allocate Spaces on a public way to the exclusive dedication of the school The school because if I'm correct the rest of the parking that we're talking about is either school owned or school leased property, correct Well right now we're talking about Mass Ave. No, no, I know but all the rest of the parking that we're talking about in that area I'm sorry not in that area in the lots and stuff like that. That's that that's exclusively under control school committee I'm not sure that we could Absent a more complicated process basically give that area up to the exclusive control of the school committee so It would have to be a sticker system such as you know, you say I'm not 8 a.m. The 2 p.m. School use only with a sticker I'm leaning towards the sticker system for and I think it would be more like from seven to three and That's because when we're talking about, you know looking at more You know say ulterior means transportation like riding bikes like uselenty I think that using a sticker system Will kind of set that in set that in line so then people will know where to have a spot whereas in Say I know what I would do is just try to be the first one there every day if I was driving and Then if I didn't get a spot, I'd say well, what am I gonna do? I'd go park on a side street anyway so I think that if we did use some sort of sticker system it will help with Stopping that overflow into the neighborhoods where we're already trying to remove Parking from so that's kind of why I'd lean towards a sticker system I wonder this might be an issue and God won't help me here. I'm sure but I Think it's a good idea and I think we need to do it tonight because we're now talking about striping this area and clearly This is part of the area. We're talking about so there's gonna need to be some signage Why could we not designate or can we do designate the 26 spaces in front of the high school on Mass Avenue as stickers? Similar to how we do a resident-only sticker But we we turn those 26 stickers over to the superintendent of schools to determine How they are dispersed the same of the principal at Arlington Catholic. Yeah Who gets the stickers for the lots if you're talking about developing basically some kind of It's a traffic rule-and-order decision that the or it's a decision-selectment that this area is going to be used You're gonna post signage, you know Arlington High School, you know staff parking only from this hour What's that Okay, I mean I think that we can work something where you have basically some kind of restrict parking What I don't think we could do is basically Some kind kind of deed the land if you're just talking about how the administration Okay, I wasn't thinking we're just gonna give yeah the front of Mass Ave Do you have concern but no offense? I don't feel it should go to the school committee bill I believe it should go to the superintendent. She I think is the most aware of Whatever seniority system she'd use for who can get those bases. Yeah, I think that they would know better than us and that would take less administrative time that basically our time is 26 stickers once a year. We give it to whomever She he or she but now she keeps track of Dan Don Steve burn number 26 that we do none of that Yes The the big feature of this is that it'd be a little bit more specific in detail than other restricted parking, right? It would basically Monday through Friday only from only during the school year only during the school year I mean, it's a detailed sign, but you know, I think you could achieve that. Yeah, okay Yes, mr. Don I really want to hear what mr. Heiner has to say Okay. Yeah First of all, I'd like to thank you all for that second off I'd like to take the responsibilities chairman of the school to further investigate the back of the school to You've helped us a lot. Thank you very much. Thank you Yes, I just want to suggest a Minor difference in what mr. Mohan just said that is we actually permit we don't care how many stickers there are well It has well see this here's the thing if you only say one stick or one car that leads to a lot of underutilization Let's let the utilization be more flexible and there's spaces and there's stickers This isn't and let's let the school department fit that into their Want to say do you want to put a cap on it though? I don't want to say Can I make a suggestion? I think that realistically speaking if you do if you designate the area then the Action of the select and then you're really just talking about an image administrative matter whether the superintendent gives out the stickers and how Many stickers unless you want it to be may not be something that you have to decide here if you're just saying we're gonna designate these spots Okay, but just give a vehicle for officer or told his staff so when they go up there How are they gonna identify? Absolutely? And we can let the schools decide They're already producing the stickers for their lot just Okay, so what's the motion? The motion is to Create a special parking zone for the 26 spaces on Mass Ave in front of the high school as described and With the intention of permitting the superintendent to manage the usage of those in a way that she and the parking enforcement can and the Murray can reach that's happy and that we enforce the Other side of Mass Ave as currently marked Can we change special to Seasonal restricted or restricted Okay, okay, we have a motion a second all those in favor, please say aye Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I recognize the hours late I appreciate putting this on the agenda You'll find in the packet a memo from mr. Heim and he may wish to address this more Directly you will call that this body did take up kindly a bylaw change to expand the definition of public performance on the the public ways Expanding it from public music as it is currently in the bylaws and the proposed bylaw change further specify that the board of selectmen would promulgate appropriate procedures and regulations mr. Heim notes in his Memo that the Attorney General has not yet passed off on the bylaw change that was Adopted unanimously by town meeting But my understanding is you have consulted with the Attorney General's office and that they were not Adverse to us moving forward provisionally with these regulations, especially considering that Our current bylaw does permit public music with these with some procedures which We here to for have not Adopted the procedures the proposed policy that you have in front of you is Substantially What was distributed at the time that we had our hearings on the? street performance Bylaw a change. I think mr. Heim has done a little bit more research with a larger set of communities and done some formatting cleanup on this and I Think some minor minor changes in essence It specifies some definitions for the public performance that a permit is required and Some reasonable restrictions about ours use of amplification compliance with our noise bylaws Keeping spaces, you know on the public way away from fire hydrants and such and The intent is to make this a very simple process whereby somebody wishing to Obtain a permit could do this administratively come to the office fill out the application And it would be an acknowledgement that they have received a copy of these rules so that if they were found to be in violation They could be held accountable and I think I've summarized it Yeah, mr. Vice chairman if I could just emphasize a few points My own I want to just emphasize again I think mr. Cure as well covered covered this but I would not ordinarily suggest that you make too much movement on a bylaw Amendment that's currently pending before the Attorney General that you may have 90 days from submission but in this particular case not only did I Check with the Attorney General's office on this because should it be adopted? Obviously summer is kind of a prime season for Public performance and it'd be nice for the Board of Selecting to be able to take It's positive actions, but we because we have a public music Bylaw right now for which we don't have a codified set of regulations or Sort of permit issuing practices. It's sort of prudent as well to be developing that And in this very limited circumstance the Attorney General's office saw no issues with proceeding Subject to the The approval of the amended so anything that you approved would of course not going to affect until Their bylaws were amended because this references street performance the other piece that I just wanted to emphasize again that's in the memo is that Mr. Cura drove up and what I modified was compared to other in a variety of municipalities throughout the Commonwealth and The real the critical sort of piece of this is not to be duplicative with the number of other restrictions Especially on noise that Arlington bylaws already contain and along with noise amplification systems and to maintain a very content neutral approach to this so that we're not making judgments about the artistic nature of performances as much as we are about very Clear and neutral simple criteria Thank you. Thank you So for discussion at least I would like to move that we adopt the proposed street performance permit policy and the draft application To take effect once the Attorney General has approved the bylaw We have motion do we have a second second Discussion yes, Mr. Don. Um, thank you both for your work. I have two changes that I'd like to propose one under 7d Sorry Yeah Page three page three So it isn't 7d. It's just D. Sorry D1 a second bullet point says within 100 feet of a medical facility I want to strike that and the reason I want to strike that is because medical facility in my mind is Undefined maybe it's somewhere else and I get it but I think about you know a dentist's office down in Arlington Center and Do I want us to be able to have street performance on Saturday near a dentist's office? Yes, I do So I want to strike that I would propose we strike that my second is On the next page on page four D performance hours, I want to add a bullet point that says something along the lines of Exceptions for Will be granted for unusual or hours on a vent basis specifically thinking about things like First lights, you know the Holiday season celebration thinking about some of the stuff that we do for New Year's Eve and like letting licenses be out later and stuff like that I really like this forward having the discretion to Permit unusual things Those are my two changes so I prefer like to make exceptions for special events approved by the board. Yep. That's what I'd be after Further discussion Miss Mahan Just through the chair to attorney Heim on page three Under B Prohibition on locations causing undue interference and I want to apologize to my colleagues because I'm going to reference the conversation that Just if you think it's appropriate where we've been talking about the alcohol Possible revisions and where the issue came up with the one-day permit the language that was in there that The exact verbiage that cited Who had the authority to be the enforcement agent officer? Because it was ambiguous for the one-day Alcohol license is a town hall and somebody challenged it Okay, I know that town council and officer or tow Basically, somebody challenged it and it was determined that the way the language was written because it was so Open-ended that patrolman Only Allington rank and file could be so if you didn't have a Allington lieutenant captain or whomever there So my thing would be to attorney Heim if you think whatever language we're going to propose and possibly Approved the full board to remedy that situation one day. Should we mirror that phrase in in there also? Okay, where you see police officer correct, okay, just so you know And I'm not saying any street performer is going to challenge that but you know where we've had it for people coming to down hall And I apologize that I'm talking about a conversation that you know we haven't said yet That's it. So that's not necessarily change. I'm just putting that on town council's radar that if in the future He says yes, you should have the same way Any further discussion? Mr. Gray on page one on the definitions I just want to be sure but shall not the impaired number one a1 Last sent to her after the comma, but shall not include presentations of audio visual reproduction of such activities Or the production of items for sale So if there's a singer there who has a CD, he's not allowed to sell it or she's not allowed to sell it No, we actually have if you look on page You say if somebody wants to come in and do a free Camerashoot they can't do that. Yeah, I think what that means is you can't actually as you're performing be producing something to sell Like is he in Harvard Square? They have the music playing their painting stuff and then they're selling it I think that's what that would be a prohibition against Yeah, that's why do we want to prohibit that I think we can discuss it I have to be quite honest that that language was actually is pulled from another regulation and I Didn't consider it very very Well, I think there's a there's a couple issues that could come up one is if you're There's a difference between someone performing Live and you know putting out a you know a music case Or selling their CD and someone making an active sort of recording of their performance whether by video or by recording and sort of using it more as like a Sort of venue like a sort of recording studio I guess this is one analogy you might you might make and so I think that that's sort of what that's sort of Getting at and you could also be dealing with People who don't necessarily want to be especially if there's visual component to it people that don't necessarily want to be I was going to say but that was part of you know the live version of a busking event in Arlington So then there's a couple there's a couple of different things that that could sort of contemplate I Think if it's something that we find ambiguous we shouldn't keep it in though You know, I have no problem So then that's what I'd recommend why don't we Water-soluble media conductive diving in person why don't we just stop it right there put a period after conductive live and in person and Strike the net the rest of that And let's see if we have something that we need to amend this at another point in time So like if someone complains them we might discuss if you're going to be recording live you need to just like recording meeting okay But and then Joe so somewhere they could sell a CD Yes on page five it talks about selling, you know the DVDs or CDs or Cassettes doesn't mention eight tracks So I the only thing that really stuck up to me was on page five section three D is What type of displays shall not exceed 25 square feet? Are we talking about? That just seems like a big display that would be allowing admit where's that so in see where section E is three lines up Notwithstanding the foregoing a former may set up a display on the public sidewalk then skip down Assuming in public areas other than sidewalks no display shall exceed 25 square feet So you could make that number smaller if you wanted it's just I guess I'm just Performance of something yeah, so like a stage No rug is the answer. I think that or cardboard to be honest It shall be prohibited to place a rug, but to place a rug over grass So you're saying it so if you put a rug down on pavement, it's okay So it's what I think we're trying so that's the 25 square feet that Display that we're talking. That's the way I read it. Yeah, you could make it you could make it smaller to reflect You know that I guess I guess part of what I think mr. Currow is noting is that you know And I think it I think one of the things that the secretary keep in mind is that some of this will be dependent on what? Kind of street performance actually takes place This is a base to start from it's probably going to have to be adjusted over time as you see what performance actually takes place But if you had you know dance performance and stuff like that You might want to limit the actual sort of stinging area You wouldn't want it to be you know taking over uncle Sam Plaza per se No, that makes sense. I didn't know exactly what that was referring to. I'm new to the busking business And I would know that I think if I'm not mistaken this propeller that the office has already received three or four requests At least three requests already around this which is one reason we know that I'm happy that it's moving forward Okay, so I'm happy to withdraw my motion and put it back out on the table with all of the recommended changes Which I think in that will encapsulate all the amendments encapsulated everything that everyone's raised do we have us Can we go over that really quickly? I'm sorry. I know what it's page one. We're striking the the last Part of section a one. Yes from but shall that'll be stricken. Yes, and then the next change is on page three We're striking within 100 feet of a medical facility at any time Yeah page four. We're adding a bullet point exceptions will be made for special events approved by the board. Yes, and then I will consider the police officer language along with Discussion about the alcohol. Yeah, excellent Do we have a second to that motion? We have a motion a second further discussion Seeing none all those in favor, please say aye. Aye Post five nothing to vote. Thank you very much. Thank you. That was a lot of work Thank you Moving on parmenter building leases We have the International School of Boston in the town of Arlington and Arlington Children's Center in the town of Arlington Douglas time So just just a quick quick. We have a motion a second Go for it. Sorry. We don't we don't have There's two things I want to note is that the ACC lease is not complete yet There's some minor things that we're still hashing out everything will be just fine But we only have the ISB one before us right now You'll notice a minor issue with respect to formatting when it was copied and sent to the Sluckman's office The execution copies that I have here for you to sign tonight if you approve it The page numbers match up correctly, but the page numbers for some reason when the formatting was done What was submitted to the board don't match up, okay? Thank you We have a motion in a second and this is only on the International School of Boston Diane So we have a motion in a second further discussion seeing none all those in favor, please say aye Thank you Sorry Going back Doug so you'll come back to us with the ACC yeah My understanding is that there's a minor issue that we're working out with ACC I don't expect it to be you know anything of that's going to present a problem. I don't know if someone's here for us I was I'm actually a little surprised. I thought we had the iron that out, but apparently oh so my apologies Okay, I have miscommunication from my attorney My concern is that the lease is up June 30th at midnight. You guys aren't meeting again before that So in effect the start when the clock strikes midnight or do we not have a lease? Have to move So the I'm sorry, I thought Mike about in our office had been communicating with you today that the Existing lease terms would remain in effect will collect under the existing lease and then once the board adopts the new lease we'd Adjust billing for the month and continue from there All right, so we'll be on a future agenda then to be voted. Oh, absolutely Yeah, how the next agenda sound good July 20. Yeah, okay. All right, so Don't go and pack up or anything. Yeah. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Yes, it would it be appropriate to take a sense of the board vote just I'm sure that it's a little bit unsettling to Not have the lease that it is that it probably is that once We anticipate that we will be able to sign the lease when it is in front of us Is that motion? I move that it is the sense of the board that we will be approving the lease when it is in its final form Second, we have a motion in a second on a vote of good faith. All those in favor, please We only have a July 28th meeting special meeting oh with the It's ready Okay Yeah, if we can if it's ready and let me down in a week May I think this is there's a strong chance that it will be if if we'd have to put out a small separate notice You know, I if I think that is long. I don't think that we have to do that I think that we can just wait till the 28th and say that we won't kick them out in the meantime Said okay Okay, thank you Okay, so are we gonna have? Like to okay So we have a motion in a second all those in favor, please say aye Thank you Okay, next Not on the agenda, but on our desks you will see in a bird emergency Addendum for a request for a one-day beer and wine license at the Homewood Suites And this we really don't like to do this, but this couldn't be delayed. They thought Louisa here thought that it was done by a co-worker and it was not done and they have essentially a 40 to 60 person Party taking place and they don't have a Move approval subject to our conditions are set forth do we have a second second Any questions or anything and I agree with the chair everything that you said we have done this before and With the understanding that you know one time one shot You know you made a mistake, but we don't do it again. Yeah Joe did Yes, Marie have I'm sorry to remember they've filled out the forms before they've done this before they're familiar with it in general Everyone thought the manager did But I just want to make sure that they've in general they know how the rules work and how the events go okay, thank you So we have a motion a second all those in favor, please say aye opposed Okay, thank you everyone Next discussion future board of select minutes chairman To make a recommendation that we come back to that if there's still people here And I wonder I'm assuming they have for correspondence received. Yeah, I think that's completely appropriate We thank you, Mr. Yeah, I know it's not that often we have people still in the crowd at this point in time But thank you for bearing with us Corresponds receive we have one from the ABCC for Kathmandu spice restaurant notice of suspension Jean Pully mass av rebuild and the bicyclist Amy Judah Walkas traffic safety issues on Wildwood av Charles Grandin Requesting crosswalk on Mystic Street Jeff Boudreau bike bike path concerns Molly Fluginger Outdoor sidewalk dining Lisa Kniff and Diane Gardner Crosswalk requests at intersection of Gray Street Cliff Street and Oakland Now does anyone want to speak to any of those? Yes, please Have you enjoyed our meeting tonight I'm Amy Jadalkus. I sent the letter with regard to the traffic around Wildwood and I just wanted to And this is my neighbor Chris Chris guy or 56 church So we're a butters in the area and we've just noticed that there is a lot of traffic Especially now that Whole Foods is in the area people are taking Wildwood as a cut-through from Highland to shoot down Wildwood to get to Bartlett to Get to Whole Foods and also that we have two bus stops in that area for the Bishop School. There's probably 15 kids that are at the two bus stops and a number of kids and families are going walking in that neighborhood and bicycling through that neighborhood Every day and on the weekends as well, and we've just been noticing a lot of near accidents scarily a lot of times when we are at the bus stop with our kids are waiting for our kids and It it seems to be getting worse and I think that it's a straight shot down Wildwood, it's kind of a downhill from Highland seems like cars are picking up speed and Also, we have all the cars that are parking from the high school along there and Slowing down even though it's tight So I spoke to the town to the police department and they said well the cars are probably Going at the legal speed But my contention is that legal does not necessarily mean safe So I think the area might need to be looked at with regard to safety mediation in that area where whether it's a crosswalk or some kind of Stanchion with a crosswalk so that people can see that there are a lot of pedestrians in the area and also take into Consideration some of the areas where the sight lines are really bad for people who are crossing Wildwood from Churchill in both directions the Stop lines are quite far back. There's a very overgrown tree and some bushes on one side and people just cruise into the intersection Right into the oncoming bus sometimes And also I wanted to point out that the timing of the letter is a little bit unfortunate because it is the end of the school year So any traffic studies might not be appropriate right now but we would love to hear what the next steps would be and Any other information that you need from us and what? We can do to help out to kind of get a process moving to look at the safety in the area I Just add that that area is particularly challenging Sight lines are such that Basically have to move up 15 feet beyond the stop line to be able to see oncoming traffic So anything that could be done to address that would be great, right? And also I want to point out that there's a lot of junior drivers in the area. There's a lot of Student driver cars that practice three-point turns around there And a lot of students that are probably parking in there, although the enforced parking rules might change that but This is really well It's right about this time of year. We always get a Request similar to this but especially about that hedging on that island it blocks three different Yeah, and I wonder whether we should take them out I mean it just every year they grow and every year they block people being you know driving and being able to see this is at Lachlan and Then the next intersection down is well There's Bailey and then there's Churchill and that also it's a private hedge there But there's a town tree that has a lot of growth out into the street as well there, so But at least I would ask through the chairman to the manager that we cut those hedges down That if we don't take them out at least cut them down a bit again But every year they keep growing back up and they've locked the at least that triangular Island They've locked People from my bank is that TD Bank at the bottom of the hill So I'm sure I'm not one of the ones that was speeding down there to get get to that but otherwise and As she states, I mean it is Schools now out. Is it something we prefer to tack regarding the rest of the issues or not? I do think this would be appropriate for tech, but do you want to maybe put a disclaimer saying potentially put a hold on it Jack the transportation advisory committee, and they really do study They'll do all sorts of pedestrian and also studies right and it will be tougher because it is the sign But I'm sure they can at least and you know they have some of plans as well I'm sure they might be happy to see that so I refer the the hedging issue and the tree issue to at least be looked at to the manager and that the we also refer this matter to Tack and ask for them for a report back by the end of the summer No, not by the end of summer That we refer to them and say please Start a business starting in September Consider placement of this on your upcoming agenda something to that Because we want them to be able to see I understand, but I I feel they could go down to this neighborhood now and take a look at the physical conditions I know we've got to wait till September to see when the kid besides which I don't know if you heard us tonight We're talking about we really will be enforcing the two-hour parking Yeah So let's refer it attack Yeah, that sounds good. Do we have a second? If I could it's just memory from even before I was a select one so I could be incorrect the hedges unlock lineup If they are removed, that's fine But I had a memory that the neighbors way back when because perhaps it's sort of a box or something there Do you know is there something there the neighbors requested that the town do something is yeah, so maybe in that area I just want to leave that on your plate that the reason that was put in was so but if you want to take them out That's fine, but it was in response to the neighborhood saying can you pretty that up a little? I'll have to jog my memory, but I know I've had a conversation that explained to me why they could not be removed But trimming them is certainly something you can look at perhaps after the meeting tonight. You can go and remove it yourself Thank you Thank you, I have had to trim just leave them there. He'll pick them up So we have a motion a second on Sending traffic safety issue issues in the wild would have neighborhood to attack All those in favor, please say I Opposed Okay, but nothing vote if someone say no. No, no everyone agreed Just Please come up. This is Charles Grandin from the Winchester Country Club requesting a cross Grandin a manager Winchester country of also 94 old mystic resident The club is parking issues like you've heard tonight with our linkedin high school And we've come up with a creative way in the summer to work with the Armenia and Cultural Foundation to lease their parking of 24 spots for June July and August Our staff is having difficulty part crossing mystic Street. Just the traffic flows incredible And what we're asking for is a crosswalk and we'd be willing to supply the signage and in the middle of the street And pay for that if the town would approve a Crosswalk there at the at the end of mystic Street by the new bus stop that they To help our staff get across the street safely Hey, um, would this be a state issue because so we couldn't approve this is that correct? I It very well may be and I know a similar request came in a little bit further up mystic Street and tack was opposed And I know the police department was opposed based on the speed of vehicles And a danger that it would would cause I think we could at a minimum before going attack We could refer this to a PD to take a look check the jurisdiction And give an opinion of whether or not it would be safe to actually put in a crosswalk Does that sound good Yeah, yeah, I'll be back next meeting, right Okay, so do we have a motion otherwise move receipt can I can I point out out one matter The last item from Lisa Kniff and Diane Gardner, so I put on the board's Desks tonight a sheet labeled draft and you see some green markings so Simply by chance. This has been something that's been in the works for quite some time at the intersection That is noted in this email. So this is the intersection of Oakland Gray and Cliff Street Neighbors in that area have expressed concerns over the past couple years Tax studied this made recommendations in a sketch to the engineering division the engineering division Put together the plan that you have before you which will create crosswalks in the area as well as Create some sidewalk bump outs and change the Intersection geometry to try to make it safer for pedestrians and in fact barring any weather related You know hold ups or delays What you have before you will probably have ground broken the next three or four weeks So I will after tonight's meeting. I will send this to Two residents who sent the email to the board with a brief explanation of what I'm explaining to the board tonight. Thank you Could I just where I'm referenced in the Where we're all titled, but I'm specifically referenced in the correspondence from Bonham Street If my colleagues could indulge me could I just ask that we refer this to a back with The understanding that if they should have any comments on her first five bullet points, but they're not required to Just so I can take some sort of action on this You know, I'm trying to think of you know what it is I'm Respectfully supposed to do with this. So I mean the bottom half I mean the mass have card projects. It's in it's happening and you know, I think we all got our own version Did you oh, you all got that? Okay. Well, then what do you I thought it was just to me if people don't want to do that I just figured just send it. I don't know Okay, where I saw everything in there. All right, you um You know what then actually let me wait on that request only be the only reason I was considering something I do want to talk to a member or two of a back because I have heard from various people One or two of the points that are in there and I wanted to talk to them about what to proceed on when Thank you, I apologize. I thought it was just Of course continuing misconception that the majority of people are opposed to this project just on that simple Something recent recently I read that There's much less chance of a bicyclist being hit on it being hit by a car in the bike path than on mass Avenue Well, since there are no cars on the bike path I think there's very little chance they're going to be hit by a car in the bike path But we need to continue to encourage multimodal methods walking public transportation carpooling and biking Okay, so so we'll proceed on the rest of it, right? Yes, do we have a second second all those in favor? Please say aye Adam said he was going to send the letter out to them You can see I received as a fine action for the board, okay, but I'll take care of it Sounds good, so All those in favor please say aye But just on that clarification a crosswalk is going in that's all right. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, I think they're going to get their wishes and more they asked for one crosswalk. It's going to be three I was gonna be three It's gonna it's gonna raise the ball it's gonna raise the bar for quick response for them Okay back to 18 future Board of Selections meetings. Thank you Mr. Chair if I made through you Marie which would be the worst day for you eight Monday the 8th We follow the state primary or Monday the 15th after town day Huh would be the worst, okay, so how about 8 and 22 in September? That works for me. Oh, did we want one the night of Charlie's that occasion? Does the 8th and the 22nd of September works for everyone Great looking at October 6 and 20 or Yeah Yom Kippur does that extend through Monday Okay Instead of the 20th, would you mind doing the 27th 6 and 27 Thank you 24 then in November since Robin was the 10th the Right, but we're meeting the week before Stephen asked for the 27th instead of the 20th, so we can I don't care if you want You've seen veterans days Tuesday the 11th, so we're over on Monday, so 10 and 24 No, I I think I'd prefer if the 8th and I Don't think the 20 the 22nd work Perhaps Want to agree on the 8th and then work it out as we get closer That might I think that could possibly maybe do a Wednesday meeting We can figure something out. I mean Traditionally in December we do one full meeting and then we do one short Okay, so yeah the short meeting the 22nd perhaps That would be the Christmas party. I just said the 22nd didn't work We'll make it work if short one will yeah Okay, that is Christmas week. It is so be good because Santa's gonna be coming Okay, and now Actually before we get to new business I had a question for Adam Kuroski How do you want feedback from us? And if so, what's the best way to get it for you? Would you mind coming up to the microphone? Thanks. I would love feedback to see what what your experience was like as well as for Doug and Adam chapter lane to really understand if What the transition would be like if we went with this product? And I guess email is fine. I Could come to another meeting Or have phone conversations with you individually if that's possible So kind of open-ended but perhaps moving forward within the next say two weeks If you have anyone has questions or concerns or wants to chat they can get in touch with you directly Is that okay Adam? Is that okay with you for this process? That's I think that's a good idea I'm fine with that. Okay. Well, can I should be are we still meeting Saturday morning? Yes, yes, yeah I'm gonna have trouble sleeping for the rest of the week Could this be a topic of discussion then on Saturday morning? Isn't that part of your do we make this party? It's part of this I was about to recommend that I mean, I really want to talk about it. I think it's fantastic. I think it you know I think you've done spectacular work here. Thank you But how much did that take and I want Marianne and Exactly be involved with these discussions as well. So just to say to do it by email doesn't Well, I think that if every so you want to have like a bigger group discussion As opposed to everyone sending their own comments I'd like Marianne and Jean and Marie to be part of these well I mean, but just sending an email to Adam isn't including them No, but they they are far more included than we are at this and they have been working, you know regularly I think that every concern that our office has they have relayed several times over already But if you're looking to make it an agenda item say the next one I'd like to talk about it. That's all I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, we don't set an agenda item. That's fine with me Oh, I don't do emails, but So I think it's fine to have a brief discussion Saturday, but I wouldn't want it to sidetrack from The discussion of all the goals and I think it deserves more than a brief Sort of touch. I mean for the board to be comfortable with it. I have to disclose that I've been using it I have at least 11 12 clouds there with comments But I'll talk to you about that But that's not discuss it now. We'll discuss it when the chair says I'm sad day or whatever Eventually, we do have to come to a decision either to bypass this and go and look for another product Purchase this or discontinue the project altogether. But now when does that have to happen by? while we originally set a Implementation date of the end of August Which would mean a purchase would have to occur in July In order to be properly trained by that point in our next meeting is until the end of July. So that is That won't work for a larger discussion at a meeting Does anyone else have any ideas? Well, I mean why don't we make sure we carve out a few minutes on Saturday morning since the board will be together? Before a decision has to be made But if any individual board member has the opportunity to send an email to Adam with feedback that'd be great And if you email is not an option if you want to call Adam or even have coffee with Adam to make sure your concerns are expressed So he can try to either explain, you know, how it can be resolved or not Why don't we try to do that? I guess I've been trying to I agree So I'm probably just gonna say whatever Marianne and Marine Fran say So in some ways, I'm not sure that I'm even necessarily gonna Have a strong opinion on this. I'm probably just gonna accept their recommendation But I think like even just for like how you feel about like certain. Oh, I will absolutely be emailing Adam. Don't worry about that No, no, I'm just thinking about the in terms of like actually making a decision. Oh, I'm Completely, okay, but yes, I have notes. He will get them. Yeah, that's okay So you'll be hearing from us one way or another if we do choose to purchase the product There is a period where we need to work together in order to develop it in the way that you guys see fit And so that's where the comments will come in handy and that's where you'll see the changes happen But I just asked two quick questions So how much Preparation does this take and I guess Marianne's and Marie the better one to answer this To get us to where we were tonight because to me this worked really well. Oh, great But everything was done for me. It was a lot of work. It was not sure And is that what it's going to be required every week to for an agenda? Well, I understand this is the first time we're using it and setting it up I'd like to add a caveat to that though. We were we were learning. I was learning the system at the same time I was training them to learn the system So I'm confident that down the low and let that down the line It's going to take less time right but to juggle the development of the agenda the traditional way and this it was Kind of hard to separate how much I haven't actually took I mean You're like me I like the papers in front of me right but if if we go to this is the primary way and I'm emailed this package before the meeting. I assume these iPads stay here on the desk Maybe not that exact one, but right but it's not like we're taking it home back and forth But this whole thing could have been emailed to me. Yes, right? Was it was the entire agenda already emailed? We could go through it access access to the agenda was emailed so that as soon as you sat down at your computer home Yeah, you could like so but in terms of hard copy. It would just be I could We're getting out of it to go into too much of that discussion But one more do you have to be here each night? I Does someone have to be here like you were tonight you can we can Do what I did tonight after the meeting as long as someone takes notes during the meeting the Automatic voting has to be triggered. Yeah in in session. I'd eliminate that Yeah There was sometimes why I didn't trigger it because the boat happened too fast, so I just I listened Very much great work though. Thank you. Thank you. Could I just clarify? Do you want me at the meeting on Saturday? No I don't think we'll we won't talk about it long enough to me. No, but we appreciate you offer. Thanks. Thank you Okay, new business Adam New any new business you'd like to report I think and I hate to say that I don't have in front of me, but I think it is a 10 o'clock She'd be very nice Thank you, thank you. Thank you. I'll be providing you with a more detailed memo in advance of the joint body meeting Thank you Just a few brief things some of you may know this already But I wanted to let the board know that the management analyst in the town manager's office Mike Bouton has accepted a position in Indianapolis So he will be leaving us It's a big loss as you know He was a piece of the brain behind Arlington visual budget and a lot of the other great things we've done over the past couple years So you total will have been with us for about a year and a half But both a good job opportunity and an opportunity to be closer to family It's gonna be working in the city county budget office for Indianapolis. So big place different place So we'll be sad to see him go. No one's left the board know that Also to build on what Marie said at that event next Thursday morning to dedicate the Veterans Resource Center I was told today that the state's Secretary of Veterans Services Coleman knee plans to be in attendance So that would be a nice nice addition to the ceremony And finally in regards to the goal-setting session I did provide the board a memo with a packet of information and preparation for that and also emailed the document earlier today Getting ready for Saturday morning. So that's all I have. Thank you Mr. Grayley absolutely nothing Just want to Make sure that we're on track since we're Having the novice agenda tonight that it's my understanding through the chair to the town manager that come July The selectments office will have Wi-Fi connection Come July will start installations. I don't think it'll be live in July And this is just my ongoing that I feel like the second sister to the school side also with that I think we discussed and agreed about Similar to what happened here tonight with the art lounge How presentation looking into similar to what the school committee has where they have a Screen and a feed already set in Possibly on that side of the room so that it would stop the need for you all to have having to move Just basically having the same amenities and features that we have on the school side And then the last thing is I see the letter to in our manila envelope packet to Commissioner Murray regarding the DCR project down. Mr. Belly Parkway If for some reason you receive a response from him as you know, we still have the sunny side issue I am embarrassingly going to contact the governor's office tomorrow On sunny side because we had agreement two years ago. We had an email agreement in January The manager has made it a ridiculous amount of attempts. I'm only doing it Because I've been given permission by the manager to do that But I it is going to be embarrassing to contact the governor of Massachusetts on this But I don't know what else Happening Okay, um me We went to Marie and I had dinner on Friday night for the ACMI awards It was lovely as usual and we're very grateful for everything ACMI does for the town Yeah, they're really great and other than that No new business Through all those in favor, please say aye aye opposed


The objective of this paper was to compare the accuracy of two advanced blending algorithms, Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model, SDRFM, and Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model, ASTARFM, when downscaling MODIS indices to the spatial resolution of Landsat. Two approaches were tested, indexed and blend, IB, and blend then index BI. Nine indices commonly used for vegetation studies, environmental moisture assessment, and standing water identification were simulated on 45 dates from three sites. The outputs were then compared with indices calculated from observed Landsat data, and pixel-to-pixel accuracy was assessed by calculating the i, bias, 2, R2, and 3, Root Mean Square Deviation, RMSD. The IB approach produced higher accuracies than the BI approach for both blending algorithms for all nine indices at all three sites. Additionally, we found that the relative performance of the SDRFM and ASTARFM algorithms depended on the spatial and temporal variances of the Landsat MODIS input indices.

Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey, guys, good to be here, everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com nightly wrap up show. Everybody is doing well. Everybody had a great weekend. Finally, some gorgeous weather. 60s in New Jersey, so hopefully summer will get here soon because I'm ready. I'm more than ready, especially living in the Northeast when temperatures rise at the high of the day, only into the 30s for the majority of winter. Super psyched for summer. So if you are brand new to the channel, guys, thank you very much for tuning in, spending a few moments with us. As always, the only thing we ask is if you take a second and just like just hit a like be kind. So hit a like, subscribe to the channel, share all that good stuff, and we'll continue to try to give you as much unbiased rationale of what's going on in the market. And that's kind of where we started off today. Very big kind of snooze fest for the day. If you look at the indexes, yeah, pretty flat. I mean, pretty flat across the board. You have, you know, the Dow down what 11 points, the S&P down a point, the Nasdaq up five points. So pretty flat session. You've saw yourself kind of doing a whole lot of nothing today or saw yourself much more or less active than normal. Well, that's the value, right? That's the value in the day. Again, the difference between a new trader and experienced traders for a long time, an experienced trader will go into the day having zero expectations, right? Zero expectations leads to zero disappointments. A brand new trader will be there and think the market's open and you have to go crazy and you have to go nuts. And every single day, according to social media is this wonderful opportunity. Yeah, I guess it's all depends on what you trade. More and more, I think the day kind of viewed as a stalemate and because the market is still digesting that really aggressive rollover, that really aggressive poll that we had last Thursday when we saw this engulfing candle, literally take out about two weeks worth of buying and the longer we continue to go sideways, guys, that's not a good thing. The bulls really need to get back above the 10 day moving average. And if you notice the last two days, this is now deemed as a double inside day. If you notice, we got rejected at both at the top of the channel here on higher lows, two days in a row of higher lows on the 10 day moving average. And the lower we continue to go sideways, the higher probability we do test the bottom of the channel here. So for the bulls to kind of get whole again and kind of get their engines revving, we need to get back above this 443 level very, very desperately. The bears need to start losing the channels and start attacking the 50 day moving average, which is 435. So the channels continue to be very condensed. You have 443 to the upside. You have 435 in the downside. And the problem is you're going to have a lot of stocks reflect of what's going on in the market. So instead of kind of talking about the incredible stalemate the most stocks had today, let's look at some charts, right? Let's look at some charts and we'll kind of see exactly where they are, what they need to do. And the most important point is, I think, let the market speak to us to tell us what's going to happen later. Because again, if you're going to trade the market the same way when you have premium expansion channels versus quiet contracting channels, you're going to burn yourself out.  So by the time you do get a macro channel, you're going to be so exhausted, you're going to misplayed or completely botched the trade because you believe that every single day is exactly the same thing. So it's very, very important to understand when the market fully rests, you rest with it. When the market starts to push, you start to push. So when is the market going to start to push? 443 to the upside, 435 to the downside. Those are the key levels. And until that it's a very, very individually type of situation. You woke up this morning, you sold Micron, come up and talk about raising prices this quarter by as much as 20%. And it looked great. It was up $7. Everything started gapping up with this. And again, here's another telltale side. They sold the stock into good news. And what happened with all the other semiconductors, right? You had in the video, sell on the good news, you had SMCI, same thing, right? And the question now is, is the market time? Is the market, is the selling, is the selling just a preview from last Thursday? It's going to continue. Again, we're not guests. Okay, I'm not going to sit here and start guessing. I'm not going to try to forecast what happens to the market, but I do know the ranges. Okay.  It doesn't make a difference. We're either going to confirm the 50 day moving average or reclaim the 10. So to sit here and try to analyze a market that we think is going to happen is absolutely pointless. But what I do want to do instead of kind of, you know, stretching this out and talking about a stalemate over and over again, let's look at some charts, right? Let's look at some key areas of the market where the market could actually give us a little bit of a vanish. Let's start off with Coinbase, right? So here is Coinbase. Bitcoin started surging again over the weekend. This is a very big level here coming up on Coinbase. If you notice here, Coinbase got rejected today, where it got rejected last Thursday, right on the 10 day moving average. So if you are a Bitcoin-E or a crypto-E or a trade-in Coinbase, it has to reclaim back the 10 day moving average. If it could start reclaiming back the 10 day moving average, then it's going to wake up. I believe they got upgraded today. I forgot, by the way, I believe they got upgraded today, but it desperately needs to get back over the 10 day moving average. And if it does get back, you can see a level back into this 275 gap. Tesla. So it had a roller coaster ride on Friday. If you guys remember, Reuters put out a story that they were scraping their low-end models. Elon Musk came out and said, nah, you're wrong. That is false. No conversation of that. And then Friday, they dropped the PR that they're coming out with. They're coming out with the taxi, the robot taxi that's going to debut August the 8th. Initially, I didn't think it was a big deal, but the market did speak today and the bulls really liked that story. They liked the story and look where it got rejected, right? Everybody see where it got rejected here? It got rejected now back to back times on the 20 day. This is kind of this brownish olive line. If you notice, it got rejected off the line on April the 4th and it got rejected off the line April, well, today, right? So for the bulls to have any type of traction, because they did start coming in for some 180, 180, 250 calls today, for the bulls that need to get a little bit of traction, we need to reclaim back the 20 day moving average tomorrow. Any close above this 174, 175 tomorrow is going to be deemed at least an intermediate green light. It's super important that the bulls need to get back above this 20 day moving average for a potential move back to the 50 day moving average and then there is going to be a very, very important battleground at that area. Look at a stock like harm, right? Arm doesn't trade great. It just doesn't. It doesn't trade great, but it's kind of trying to get out of this channel. This channel started on March the 27th. If you notice here, it got rejected off this 20 day supply and look where it got rejected again today, off the 20 day supply. Watch arm for tomorrow. If the semiconductors can get any type of rally and it starts reclaiming today's channel, who knows?  This is a pretty impressive channel. That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Tomorrow will be day nine, almost two weeks of consolidation. If they can confirm and reclaim this 20 day supply, maybe it does start stretching into the 136th area. Google, right? Google had a PR couple of, you know, about a week ago about potentially charging for its Gemini AI. The market first started rallying the stock after hours and then they realized, well, wait a minute, why the hell are we paying for AI? AI, everybody offers AI and you can do it for free. Matter of fact, if you go on Instagram, Meta has their own AI. It's free. It's absolutely free. So you can do that. So the stock got sold off. The good thing about it is the stock reclaimed back three days worth of selling and now it's almost at last week's highs. Guys, let's watch Google for tomorrow. If it could reclaim the highs on April 1st, maybe this thing could start waking up. It does look really, really good. Microsoft, we talked about this on the weekend video. Kind of a nothing burger today. It still needs to get back above those Thursday's highs. It's still kind of sitting in the middle of the channel, but it is representing a little bit of strength. So we definitely want to continue to watch that. Let's talk about the other side. Right? Let's talk about Apple. Apple is very close, guys. Okay. Apple is very close. It's for the exception of maybe Tesla. This has been a very, very disappointing. Considering the cult following of Apple, this is a very, very disappointing stock. The worst part about this is this thing is now a day away from confirming a two-month reach. And if this thing starts getting below this two-month range for tomorrow, this thing's going to get hit. It has not demonstrated any type of rally. Even the relief rallies keep on getting stalled out again at the toy they supplied. The last one, second the last one was on March 27th when it hit it, got rejected. And the last one was on the fourth. Got rejected again and rolled over again. If the market gets pulled, guys, let's definitely keep an eye on Apple on this bottom range. Because if it starts losing the bottom range, folks, this thing is going to go lower. And last but not least, let's talk about Nvidia. Okay. So, Nvidia, we all know, probably one of the top performing stocks on the planet in the last couple of years. We all know this, right? We all know about the thousand bidder, a thousand call buyers all over the place. Hell, we even saw some June 1180 call buyers today. These guys apparently completely bypassed the thousands. There are other way to 1180, but whatever. The each is up, right? Who am I to judge? But here's the point, right? Everybody's expecting the video automatically is going to turn around and start going back to a thousand. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. But folks, let's pretend, right? And amuse me here for a second. Let's pretend this two sides of the market. Crazy. I know, right? But let's pretend this two sides of the market.  It took down the whole range of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. This is 12 days worth of buying got erased on one candle. What happens if it doesn't rally, right? What happens in the next couple of days if it doesn't wake up? And what happens if it starts confirming that reversal candle from last Thursday? Well, I'll tell you what's going to happen. If it starts confirming this whole channel here and starts taking out last Thursday's bottom channel, well, this thing has room all the way down to the 50-day moving average of like 800. I know it sounds crazy. I know everybody's expecting Nvidia to go up a thousand before a person has been trading for a quarter of a century. I kind of know this two sides of the market. When everybody's looking at the same side at the same time, well, sometimes it won't play out that way. So the key levels on Nvidia to the upside. We talked about this last week and we talked about this on the weekend update. It needs to reclaim back the 10-day moving average. It's got rejected there last Thursday for the bearers. And this is very, very important because the stock did not rally whatsoever today. Even though it took out on the gap up last Friday's highs, the point is it never rallied for the whole day. And if you look at the 60-minute view, you can see gap open to supply rejected and when literally sideways the whole day. So even when the NASDAQ was up 60, 70, 80, 100 points, Nvidia didn't rally at all. So I want to watch Nvidia for the next couple of days. Obviously, I'm going to watch the 10-day moving average to the upside. But let's definitely watch last Thursday's lows because if it starts building and confirming on last Thursday's lows, again, it doesn't necessarily have to happen tomorrow. But if it starts rebuilding and starts reclaiming back last Thursday's low, there is going to give us a pretty aggressive trade back to the downside. And one smaller stock just to bring to your attention, guys, look at the stock PHAT. I think we spoke about this a couple of weeks ago. How does it confirm yet? But guys, for you guys to trade the smaller price names, keep an eye on this PHAT. If it starts building above this whole channel here that started on February 23rd, maybe this thing wakes up, it's not a bad-looking chart if this is your thing. The key, again, going into tomorrow's session, especially with the macro picture, guys, do not formulate a bias. We're trapped in the middle of this channel, a double inside day of this reversal from last Thursday. Stick to the individual names. We know that Apple is imminent. We know Apple is imminent. We know there's a potential that if Tesla wakes up tomorrow and starts reclaiming back the 20-day moving average, we potentially could go back to last week's highs. We know NVIDIA has not rallied, right? We know NVIDIA has not rallied. We know NVIDIA is a day away or candle way for maybe retesting last Thursday's low. We know there's a two-week distribution that ARM is trying to get above. But the players are there. The stages are set. Don't anticipate the moves. Just wait for them to start playing out. If you look at majority of other names, they're still trapped in the other channels. So why concentrate on those names when they're in Purgatory, when they're in No Man's Land? Stick to the ones that are closer to the intermediate top of the range or close to the intermediate bottom of the range. And at some point, they will confirm. But when they confirm, you should get a technical directional bias in that direction. Guys, we'll see. Again, the most important thing, guys, when we say this all the time, and I said this a few moments ago, when the market rests, you rest. When the market gets aggressive and channels start expansion, then you step on the throat with extreme prejudice. Guys, have a great night, everybody. God bless. And with God's help, I will see you all tomorrow. Take care, guys. Have a great, great night.

Live from Copenhagen, Denmark. It's theCUBE, covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018. Brought to you by the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Hey, welcome back everyone. Live here at KubeCon, Copenhagen, Denmark, Kube's coverage of KubeCon 2018 in Europe. This is all about the Kubernetes, the future of CloudNative, CloudNativeCon, part of the CNCF, CloudNative Foundation. I'm John Furrier with my co-host Lauren Cooney, founder of Spark Labs, industry expert at Open Source. We have two end user customers of Kubernetes and CloudNative, Zach Arnold, software engineer, Yjeri. Ygeri Energy Fund and Austin Adams, software development manager, same company. You guys are doing really interesting business model around energy and equity in buildings and homes but you're writing code, so you have to make all this stuff work. So I'm sure you're CloudNative, why have a data center when you can have the cloud? Exactly. We were born in the cloud. You're born in the cloud. So take a step forward. Explain the business real quick and then what's your backend, technical, scaling situation look like in terms of infrastructure, software and what's the makeup of the systems? You know the business best, yeah. Yeah, so Ygreen operates under something called PACE, Property Assessed Clean Energy and we operate in a couple of different states. We work with local governments to create a PACE program that is accepted in different counties or jurisdictions within the state and then we allow homeowners and contracting companies to provide financing for home improvements that are specifically within the domain of renewable energy or energy efficiency. So you basically finance like a solar panel I put on my house or building, there's benefits there and then you guys get the financing and you tie in with the government so the property taxes, the leverage, the security is the building, right? Or the asset. Yeah and the way that we're chartered is basically we can put a tax on the property which gives us some guarantees on repayment and things like that and it's a great model so far. So new financial engineering around energy efficiency. So you got to build systems. So you work with governments so now we don't know how government systems work so you got to be agile and nimble. Take us through how the back end works. What's it look like? What's the system look like? You're hosting in the cloud, is Amazon, Google? So everything that we have is in a cloud provider that starts with an A and ends with an S. It's AWS and I don't know if I can say that. I think I can say that. AWS all the way. Thank you. And we have tons of services. We have Kubernetes running most of our main services in our migration. We actually started with our main service. A lot of people start with their smallest microservice. We just went whole hog and just went in for it. So the system is mainly a loan management system and underwriting data aggregation and underwriting processing. So every application that comes in we have to underwrite it and make sure every little thing checks out and our underwriting system is one awards for how accurate it is and how high quality it is as well. So I'm doing a mental whiteboard in my mind just kind of cropping this. So just help me out here and take us through this. So you guys are a cutting-edge company, new and progressive business model, real innovative, great stuff. Cloud Naves, you're born in the cloud, no data center, cool, check. That's what everyone does. And now you're like, okay, I got to deal with these legacy systems. So you're putting containers around things so you have to interface, you build your own system. So that's cool. While you're dealing with other systems and then how are you handling that? You're containerizing it. So take us through some of that, those linkages. So we're creating, a lot of times when we have to integrate with another system, we'll create a small service that is code that we own and we'll reach out to those vendors and we'll do aggregation within our system and provide an interface back to our systems. Like everyone, we're breaking up the monolith or whatever. Maybe in 10 years we'll go back to a monolith who knows. But we're slicing out things, making microservices. It looks like a mess on the back end, just tons of microservices going everywhere. And that's why we're using all these cloud native tools to be able to manage that. So in order to move quickly, we're wanting to containerize everything. Everything runs in a container at this point. Great. A lot of our services follow this kind of, we're kind of calling the container adapter pattern. It follows a software adapter pattern where just like Austin was saying, let's say for example, we're interfacing with a credit vendor. We create a service where we talk to our own service that has a well-defined interface that we know will always get a credit report back with the following fields. But then where that information actually comes from, whether it's one of the big three credit vendors or someone else who has a well-defined API, that's largely not the concern of the main loan management system. It's the concern of the microservice that's responsible for reaching out to that other entity. So that's how we've kind of gotten to beat around the legacy interfacing of all of these other different financial services and tools that help to aggregate data. It's super clever. You can optimize on a service basis, but now you have to orchestrate and kind of conduct everything through, and that's where you look at Kubernetes. And keep everything secure. That's really interesting. I mean, I think what I'm looking at here is a huge ecosystem of partners and companies and end users coming together. And one of the questions I have is, beyond why you are here, what are you looking at here? What is interesting to you? What do you want to learn about that you might bring into your architecture, essentially? Also, I know we're talking about this. We kind of tend to look at the CNCF list of projects as a dinner menu. We're refreshing that page frequently because we're adding projects at an alarming rate. But one project, we're using Fluent D, notary kubernetes, of course, Prometheus, things like that. We want to start using those things more extensively. Ones that we're really excited about are Spire and Spiffy. The identity, kind of a new take, not necessarily new, but new for cloud native take on identity of services and authentication, as well as the open policy agent to provide a single DSL to do all of your policy and authorization. That's a lot of workload, management and identity, correct? So that's what they do. Authentication and authorization are two of the most important things that happen in our system. And we have so many different ways that it happens right now. And it can tend to look a little cloggy just from the sense of the fact that we need a little bit more coordination or standardization around it. I mean, we have well written policies that are documented, but the way that those actually get enforced are it's individualized based on the service. You know, if it's a cloud based policy, then it's AWS I am. If it's a kubernetes based policy, it's RBAC using kubernetes RBAC. So it kind of looks like if we can abstract a lot of that functionality out of the services, the containers, the orchestration tool of the cloud to making those decisions, that would really, really simplify things really well. And you guys are end users. So are you part of like an end user group that gives feedback directly into the community or how does that work? Yeah, so we're on the fringes of the contributor community as well. Great. And we're definitely on GitHub in all of these projects posting issues. And in some cases providing our own PRs or whatever. None of us are within the kubernetes org, but definitely that's something we all are aspiring to be, is jumping into some of these projects, especially some of the smaller projects that we're using on a daily basis in our build servers like Portieris or Notary. Some of those things we're actively contributing to those. So you're contributing where it matters for your product, but being active on the project is key. The balance there. Yeah, I mean, typically what you find in the finance industry is when they go for a solution, they lead with their wallet as for what we can purchase or what we can sponsor. But why Green has been, our managers and management have been incredibly empowering in this way. They say, well, what can we give? We leave with our hands. Yeah. And this is interesting. If you have a good business model innovation, which you guys have, you can be completely clean sheet of paper to build it. Right. So, you know, that's the best thing about the cloud. You can really move fast and go from point A to point B, move the needle. Yeah, and at the same time that there's kind of a clean slate, there's even a clean slate in terms of best practices within our industry. Now, if we were in mortgage, there's a lot of rules. There's a lot of clear guidelines on how to do security and auditing and things that you need. Whereas in our industry, that's all emerging. So we have a chance to also set the pace, set the tone for what security might look like or what cloud usage might look like within the pace industry. But at the same time, we're getting increasing government regulations. So we're having to make these decisions around what are the tools that are going to help us achieve, you know, maximum customer protection and auditability while maintaining our, you know, our business model and without, you know, totally. Yeah, and you're going to need flexibility because you don't know what's going to come next. Exactly. You got to be ready for anything. Yep. And so that's at least my next question. Two points. What's, how do you guys prepare for what's next? What's the main ethos around technical architecture around being prepared for that ready state that's coming to you? And then two, what have you learned over the, what's the scar tissue look like? What's the moments of, you know, joy and despair going on?  So this is, this is what innovation is. It can be fun and also grueling at the same time. Go ahead. Yeah, so what's, how we deal with what's new beyond our like software process. We have a well-defined process that everything gets churned into. Government's really good about giving us notice when stuff's going into effect. So we always have target dates that we're going toward. But in terms of what's next in terms of our software, we have this interesting culture within our organization. Everyone wants to improve everything. I think it's called a Kaizen culture, Kaizen culture. Just people are looking at stuff, they want to improve it. And so our process allows for anyone to throw something on the backlog. It'll get prioritized and put around, but we're allowing all of our engineers to say, hey, we want to do this.  And we have all the channels to have those discussions and, like most technology companies or technology focused companies, we spend a lot of time talking about technology. And making those decisions. So it's important you guys really have the cultural ethos of the people to debate and then commit. And that's one of my recommendations for any company trying to move to cloud native or Kubernetes is always you have to have your evangelists on your team. And because you can't expect people who have been doing it one way forever to instantly be on board. You need some sort of technical evangelists whether that's outside company. It works best, I think, if it's someone you've hired or someone in your organization who's preaching the gospel of Kubernetes or cloud native. Yeah, that's Spark Labs, Lawrence companies doing a lot of that work. But that's really nails it. I mean, you got to just, it's not a technical issue per se, it's really cultural. Yeah, exactly. We've heard that all through the show here. It's all about people. All right, so what's on your wish list? What's the holidays want to bring for you guys? If you could throw a wish list out there and you can magic wand, crystal ball. EKS. Or EKS. EKS. Yeah, if Amazon could respond to our request. Okay, we just had EG on yesterday. He said it's coming. I said, he said months, so not. Did you say months? I thought it was a few months, so maybe. We'll check the transcripts in a few months. It wasn't tomorrow. That's all right. And that's one of our, that's our scar tissue, right? Is we're doing this ourselves. You know, where there's this huge control board and we got people, you know, doing the knobs and things and we're relatively small. You know, we're a small organization, Oregon engineering organization. So we're doing a lot of this stuff ourselves where we can abstract a lot of that work out to a cloud provider that we're already on. Well, it's going to be good reps for you guys. As you, as this thing gets extracted away, you're going to have a great core competency in Kubernetes. I think that's a notable thing there. For sure. One of the things on my wish list, I was speaking with Jace and Josh Berkes and a lot of the core contributors to Kubernetes at the contributors summit. And I was talking on what I kind of realized is I would love to see a coordinated cross-cutting effort either on part of the CNCF or on part of the Kubernetes project proper to have a like a proactive security. I wouldn't call it a working group. I guess it's sick, a special interest group. It would be, you know, because I know that we can deal with zero-day issues really, really quickly. For example, the Azure host path mapping issue that I was a few months ago. But right now it's kind of on the responsibility of each SIG to implement whatever security looks like to them individually, which is great. It means that there's people thinking about security. That makes me sleep better at night, but seeing some coordination around that and kind of driving towards, okay, we have this tool that seems to be changing the game. How are we going to change the game with security? Like, is there a way to look at that and even, you know, because authentication and authorization have been around since more than one user used a terminal in the 1960s and 70s. But, I mean, even with just this new step of admission controllers where we have more fine-grained control around how stuff gets into the cluster, I think it would be great to look at what a coordinated cloud-native security effort would look like. I think that's great. I mean, we've been talking to a lot of vendors here and a lot of folks that have projects and bring up security every single time and they kind of have an answer, but they really don't. They body swerve you. Yeah, well, we got this, we got that. Or, you know, you're the developer, you have to build it in yourself, so I totally agree with that recommendation. I think it's fabulous. Yeah. Kubernetes is making so many things simpler at certain levels. Now, if we can focus those efforts on making security simple for people, because they're security experts, they can put their two cents in. Well, let's build it in and not block it on. Build it in and not expect every developer to know. I like that, yeah. Don't bolt it on, build it in. Yeah. Build it from the beginning. And there's all kinds of new ways.  I mean, what Google got, as I think, is a very interesting approach. They're trying to push forward this multi-layer approach from chip to kernel, OS, to app. Interesting, and they got, you know, managing through all their security practices. They got Android. I mean, sphere phishing is a huge problem right now. We're seeing in a lot of enterprise, we talk just like, hey, you know. Right, it's like the firewalls and VPNs, like that's old school. Right. They need to modernize it. So this is what we're thinking about that. So, great, well, hey guys, thanks for coming on and sharing your feedback and your data and your place and how you're architected on AWS and your work in Kubernetes. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Cube coverage here in Copenhagen, it's theCUBE's coverage at KubeCon 2018. We'll be back with more after this short break.


Free things that happen before the narcissist returns. The narcissist discarded you because the relationship became more of a problem than a convenience. You no longer validated their false self.  You questioned and confronted them.  So you were no longer their doormat. You were no longer their fool and it was no longer beneficial for the narcissists to be around you. They had to seek out another source of supply. Someone who would be more susceptible to their manipulation, but as we know narcissists have difficulty sustaining their relationships. So when is the narcissist going to return to you? Here are three things that happen before the narcissist returns. Not all of them will happen in your situation. But you should experience at least one of the signs before the narcissist returns. One, the new supply wakes up. Once the new supply wakes up, it's game over for the narcissist. Once the new supply realizes what they're really dealing with and they no longer validate their false self, the narcissist isn't going to want anything to do with them anymore. The narcissist will either discard them or the new supply might discard the narcissist either way. Once this happens, there is a possibility that the narcissist will return to you. If they do not return to you, it's because they've hoovered another supply or they've targeted someone new. But before this happens, the love-bombing phase where the new supply must come to an end, the narcissist must begin devaluing the new supply before they seek out another source. If they decide to hoofig you, you will be their secondary source of supply and then they will finally discard the new supply and move you to the primary position. They will re-idealize you and see you as being perfect again. But of course, this is short-lived. It isn't long until they're devaluing you again and idealizing someone else to your hope and expectations. Before the narcissist returns to you, you must believe that some of the desire will happen. You must feel like they could change. You must still be susceptible to their manipulation. The narcissist isn't going to remain around someone who sees them as a lost cause. They are predators. It's like they have this sixth sense where they know what you're feeling. They know if you think that there's a possibility that they might change. Well, that things might work out and they will prey on your hope and expectations. They will exploit it by making you think that they could be everything that you want to be. As long as you're willing to be their doormat, they will walk all over you. As long as you're willing to be their fool, they will continue returning to you. It's only when you take away your hope and expectations and see them as a lost cause that they will then leave you alone because then you're no longer validating their false self. You're making them feel like they don't exist. You're making them feel like they're nothing special. And they're not going to put themselves in a position where they could be rejected. Where they could be humiliated. Where they're at risk of injuring their dignity or pride. So before the narcissist returns to you, they need to know that you're still willing to accept them.  Free. The smear campaign must fall apart. When the narcissist was devaluing you, they were also smearing your name. They were talking to people about you. They portrayed you as this horrible person until everyone began to see you in a certain way. They may have been very protective and supported over the narcissist. They may have tried to keep the narcissist away from you because the narcissist made it look like you were the problem. But by doing this, they ended up shooting themselves in the foot. Because then they couldn't come back to you.   They display an exaggerated sense of dignity and self-importance. They have too much pride. So before the narcissist will return to you, the smear campaign must fall apart. The flying monkeys must forget about you and move on with their lives. The narcissist is not going to return while all of their flying monkeys are still watching. There's nothing more important to a narcissist than their image of reputation. That is more important to them than any source of supply. It validates their false self and makes them feel like they exist. And no narcissist is going to choose their source over their false self. If that happened, you would be witnessing the beginning stages of their recovery from narcissism. Which is a nice idea, but it's just not something that's going to happen. So while you may want the narcissist to return to you, you need to take away your hope and expectations because nothing good is going to come out of this. Even if you remain hopeful and you validate their false self, that doesn't mean they're going to treat you right.  It will never be enough for them. And you will be left feeling invalidated and unable to take care of yourself. When you finally burn out, they're not going to be there for you. Because they're only there while you've got something to provide. They're like your cheerleaders. They're only supporting you while you're winning. But when you're down, they will be out of there. They will be looking for another source of supply. Someone who they haven't destroyed yet.  No matter how much you did for them. Nothing you do will ever be enough to fill the void within the narcissist. You will be running yourself into the ground and they won't have any consideration for you because they're self-absorbed and they lack empathy. They only care about their own needs. You only matter to the narcissist if you have something to give and then they will take everything you've got until you have nothing left. They will drain the life out of you. And then they will blame you for being unable to perform. They will blame you for being unable to give them what they want. Whenever you get involved with a narcissist, you will only end up being bamboozled. You will only end up being deceived by underhand methods. You will only end up confused, frustrated, and throwing off your path and purpose. Everything is a paradox with the narcissist. Everything is a contradiction. The answer can be whatever they want it to be at any given moment. Whatever works best for them and they will throw you into the bus so that they can get ahead. Because you are dealing with a very weak and vulnerable person who will do whatever it takes to feel secure even at the expense of your security. Because they really have no consideration for you and actually by seeing you in a vulnerable position it makes them feel more safe, by seeing you miserable it makes them feel better about themselves. There is no winning with the narcissist.  So for them to be the winners you have to lose.  Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.
