May 12th, 2014, got a couple items in a short meeting because of town meeting tonight at 8 o'clock. So the first order of business is the Environmental Design Review hearing to reopen a special permit for 125 Broadway Eli service station. So we're going to open that hearing up right now. I'll ask the applicant to come on forward. Thanks.  My name is Eli, I'm from the Broadway 125 Broadway Eli service station. Okay, great. And maybe you can walk us through your presentation. Okay, my application, I'm asking to Fort DeKalb, the building above my garage doors and the gas pumps and also the canopy above the gas pumps. Let's start with the gas pump from the now, pass it over. And I think we've got some, what's it looks before and after. Okay, so we have it just right now. We've got, we don't have to before and after. This is before and after. That's the gas pump. Just make it nice and clean. Also, this is the canopy. Okay. And when I was looking at that, I was wondering, so this is out front, this one? This is up front, this is side. Okay, does that go over here? I'm here, right? Yeah, the logo will be up here. Okay. On the side, okay. And then on the side, that will finish up on the side. And only once, the logo? Or on each side? On each side. But not on all four? No, okay, no. There used to be a typical logo's in there and the decals was there before. I just paint over them. This is, this is the picturesque recently, I just did it yesterday. So when I bought the place six years ago, it wasn't enough. You went for the Citco? Yeah, yeah. I just paint over it and I walked in myself through, after six years later, I just said to make something nice and make it look more presentable and clean. And Citco had it on both ends? Oh, yeah. And here for the building or not, yeah. This is what it looks like. And this is, this is what's existing right now. I think we have that one. Yeah, we have this one. Okay. Before nothing. Okay. Lots of the signs was there on the building. This is there where we completely was one sign on the banners on the fence and this was also, we get rid of that. You're talking about these guys here? Oh yeah, those all gone. Yeah. We're going to go spend all the kind of money to make it look nice and presentable and make it look real. The marble is still there? Yeah. That'll be fine. That'll be fine. That'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah, we'll get rid of it. We'll get rid of it. And I think the last picture we have is the standalone. So the standalone is also changing? Yeah. No, no, it's not changing. If you allowed me, I would love to, but there's a neon and LED, but I'm not allowed enough. Yeah, you can. Yeah, exactly. I'm not going to. Okay, so that's just staying as is. As is. Okay. Just the canopy, the pumps in the building to be held up off to the garage. I just want to be sure that you may not be aware of this and the board may not be aware of this, but some of the signers that's on was not presented or approved before you acquired the service station. Is that stuff in there? It doesn't appear that the canopy signage was ever approved or the gas pumps. That's, um, I have a special permit if you need it. So whatever you approve, we should make sure to memorialize this time. Okay. I'll go around. Okay. So I have always loved this sign. I think that's a big sign. So I'm glad you're not changing that. No, no, no. That's why we got up. Yeah, I think that's a good sign that the pumps, it looks like you're simplifying what's on the pumps, which is good because the pumps are really busy. So you're making it simpler. Correct. I don't know if a local is usually allowed on the pumps going out. It doesn't really state it clearly in the zoning in the bylaw. It talks about that. What's allowed by state law? I think that's what. Yeah. What you had put in the type of gas, the price of gas, the name of the gas. The law. I operate in the city of Charlottesville and the city of Charlottesville make us put the logos on the pumps so the customers know what brand this guy is. So that's why you have the Eli's on the pump. And I think one Eli's is enough. Now this is on both sides of the pump too, right? Correct. Because we dispense the gasoline on both sides. The canopy. We just approved a gas station. Were we allowed the canopy? This is not lit, right? No. It's not lit. So it's adding a border of red and it has your logo on both ends. It's not any larger than what we just approved, I don't think. What gas station was that? That was the show. That was the show. Yeah. Now the building, it says clearly 40 square feet. Do you know what size you have on the building right now? What height this is? And what length you have? Because I think we'd have to consider this whole thing a sign, right? Because of the color. Of course, when we just consider the letters and the logos, that's kind of a gray area too. You know, you could paint, right? Yeah, that's why. So the background is just paint? That's the way I envision it. Okay. So the background is just paint, as far as comparing it to what's there now. What's over there now is a paint, but it's a wrap. It may be a wrap or a sign, but it functions a lot like paint. It's sort of achieved the same end by painting the side of the building. It might not be as glossy, but I don't know. I think it's a gray area where you could say is it part of the sign? I think it's tasteful. You know, ties in with the pumps that ties in with your large freestanding sign. I was going to object to the fence signs, but I saw they were down, so that's good, because that's a lot of signage then. There are signs on the buildings, but I think that's pretty typical also. The oil change, the state inspection, the computer diagnostic sign. Thank you. Yeah, so I don't... If you're going to drop the LED display, which isn't allowed. Yeah, I think it's pretty much conforming with what is there now, and it's making it better, actually. I always try to do clean, drivable, clean cut. I think you're doing a nice job doing that. I live down past you, so I go past your gas station. I should stop. I'll echo a lot of what Christina said. I think that the new design on the pumps is cleaner than what you had before. I think that's a good step in the right direction. With respect to the name on the pump itself, I think in past special permits, if I remember correctly, on the gulf station at the corner of Summer Street, that has the name of the gasoline on the pump, and you're independent. You're not selling gulf or shell. I have to present what brand we... Having Eli's service station on the gas pump, I think it's fine. Canopy seems to be fine. I am a little concerned about some of it, and maybe some of these are gone. In this picture, existing conditions for porters, auto sales, and the various other... Those all gone on the glass. Those are all gone? Yes. All those decals are gone. Because that really does clean it up quite a bit. Plus, for a non-accessory signage, you have to say that you're selling all of those products on site. My guess is you're probably... How much porter auto sales actually happens on site? He only has two cars on site. Just to sell. Sometimes he doesn't have anything. Sometimes two cars. I only allowed him to park two cars. Yeah, because in order for that sign to be legal, the business activity really has to be taking place... It is licensed from the South Carolina on site. For porters, it does use that. I don't do it myself. On the side it's gone? Okay. And I gave him a lease to continue just so... I used a space just to sell two cars. Okay. I had the same concern that Christine had about the banners or the other signage that's on the fence. Those are gone. That's good. And I can kind of... I think I can live with the size of the... of the wrap on the front of the building. Typically we only allow one state inspection notice sign, and technically you have two, I think, because you've got one on the wall of the service station, as well as underneath the gas price on the pilot. So I'm trying to think of that... It's not really a wayfinding sign where you... It is. It's directing people to which bay they need to go to for inspections, possibly. The one on the building? Yeah. It would be a little large for a wayfinding sign, but... Well, I mean... Wayfinding. I guess I'm sympathetic just because it has the hours there. Yeah, it does and it has the hours... You're looking at this sign, not this sign. Yeah, you're right. You have to post those. Okay. That makes sense. And this one that's underneath doesn't have the hours and everything? No. This is... We have to... We'll sit on the sign outside. Okay. So he's more between a row and a hard place. I got it. I got it. Okay. That's really the only question that I have. I think it's good. I think it's nice and consistent. It ties the building together. It improves the look there. Any concerns I had about it in the rest? Thank you very much. Yeah, and I think I would also mention... Can I see that picture for us? So for me too, I think that the wraps will be nicer and cleaner in the end and probably wear better than...  Yeah, exactly. So that's why I'm okay with it as well. Is that wrap applied to metal then? And then the metals put up? Yeah, they're going to scrape all the wraps around the canopy. So when they come up with the... The wraps will be nice and steward. But on the building, that's not a wrap then? It is a wrap. Yeah, now there's a wood frame. So they're going to bring the aluminum panels flat and they're going to put the wrap on the aluminum. So it doesn't peel off, it doesn't come off. It won't stick better. Okay. Anything else from the board? What's the lifetime of the wrap like that? How many years or last before it's been applied? Maybe to say in about 10 years. But... I don't know where I feel like that. It's good. But in the paint, they're going to keep... Keep painting. Carol, before I open it up, do you have anything? No, but I would just like for the record, could you spell out two things? Would you mind spelling your last name? Last name? E-L-K-H-A-O-U-L-I. Okay. And would you consider leaving the photographs with me so that I can duplicate them and then return them to you? Those right here? Yes. Okay, thank you. Because we need to... Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. That's all. I have them on my phone, so I don't need them. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. For you. Thanks. I want CBS and developer. Yeah. It's the only time you ever get pictures of all of these days, right? Yeah. Okay, so now I'm going to open it up for a public comment. Yes? Go back to Mr. Chairman Chris Loretty, 56 Adams Street, near Broadway. I guess in general, I don't have a problem with the signs. Just a couple of things to note though. I think you generally don't see signs on gasoline, on canopies in town for a couple reasons. One, the bylaw doesn't specifically allow them any more, as I can see. And I think it was the policy of one of the former planning directors to discourage them going back a number of years. So while there may be some stations that have them, they may have been added over the years, but I don't see them. And if there's anything in this that I object to, it is the sign on the canopy. I think as the planning director mentioned, they hadn't previously been permitted about this gas station. And I think that's consistent with the absence of the provision for them in the bylaw and with the policy of the planning director. But I think the other reason I would argue against them is I'd ask you to consider the location of the site and where those signs would be. And as you drive down Broadway, the freestanding sign is very prominent. It's not like you can't tell that this is Eli's service station, whether you're coming from the east or from the west. And it seems to me that adding that additional signage on the canopy doesn't really serve any purpose except to get the brand out there. And we've been through this before. We've been through it before at various service stations and the Gulf station on Summer Street comes to mind where they seem to want to plaster the name of the gas line brand everywhere. So given also that this is also largely a residential district, the other side of Broadway is all residential. You can see an apartment building in the background of the pictures. I think it's more appropriate to leave off the signage on the canopy as it has been recently. And I think as it has been in most cases. And in terms of the other signage, I think that's appropriate. I would ask to be sure that on the gas pumps themselves it only has the Eli service station once on each side unlike the current pumps where it has it up high and up low. But I can believe that's the plan anyway. So I think that pretty much covers my comments. I appreciate that the Biola does allow you to exceed the number of allowed signs. I would note that before you do that the redevelopment board is supposed to have some written memo or guidance from the planning department to that effect. I'm not sure whether you have that yet or not. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the board or discussion? I know we just did the canopy over at the Shell station. We did. Which was actually lit as well. So from my perspective I don't find this to be too far-fetched. And it is on the side so it's not facing the residents across the street? No, it's facing the Broadway. If you travel on Broadway now or up you've seen it on the side of that. And what's on the side of you? This side is apartments. On the side. What's on the canopy is going to be? No, what's the business or the resident on the side? It's a closed diner. That's the diner. It's a vacant building. So this is actually businesses on the side? Yes, all that strip is all businesses. And this is the housing? Right, this is the apartments, the housing? I think so. I know it's apartments, I can't remember. No, I don't think this is an apartment. I think this is a private. This one's a private. Oh, okay. That is a private, yes. It's right before the Thompson School. Yes, people business with us and they come first. I think it's worth noting about the canopy wrap is that the logo is actually a very small part of it. So I don't really see this as rising to the level of another exceeding the number of signs allowed. It's true. It's a little bit of branding, but the main thing I think is that you get in the color scheme of the canopy. So I think this seems consistent with what we did with Shell. That sort of tucked in the corner. I wonder if it wouldn't work better, though, because you are going to have Eli's, Eli's. If it would work better, Eli's were down here. Or if Eli's was on the front and the back. In fact, you're not going to get very many. Because you are going to have a lot of Eli's very close together. And it's going to be the same thing on the other side. You'll have it right there. Usually on the canopy, on every gas station I own before and every gas station I see, the logo, they will leave it close to the street. The more it's going by back and forth, the more visibility. Yeah, and you have trees on the other side. It's the same as the Shell station. It is consistent with what we just approved. And I don't think it exceeds them. And it's a little different than your sign. It's darker when you look at the two together. Because the background is dark versus light. So it is going to look, see what I'm talking about? Yeah, because it's got the right. I don't object to it. Right. I thought it doesn't exceed. So we're just to be clear. We're looking to approve. The new signage has shown for the gas pump. Correct. The new signage has shown for the canopy. And the new signage has shown for the ramp on the facade of the building. And we're specifically not approving. Right. The LED pricing. And it's approval is conditioned upon the signage on the fence continuing to be removed. As well as the details on the windows. And the details on the windows. Those are just going to be removed. Right. We're just going to reflect it in the actual code environment. Okay. Could you repeat, you said signage has presented for building facade, ramp, gasoline, pump standing sign. Do you want me to put that into the form of a motion at this point? Canopy. And the canopy was the other one. Yeah. Canopy, ramp. And specifically not the LED. And not the fence sign and not the details. Well, yeah, conditioned upon there being no details. I guess they've been removed at this point, but conditioned upon them not reacting. Exactly. And conditioned upon them. Window decal and fence signs. Yeah. And the auto sales. And the port of auto sales. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Carol got on it. Whatever it is I just said, I'm going to make, I'm going to so move. Thank you. Carol, let me know when you're ready. Okay. Go ahead. All in favor? Aye. Good bye. Okay. Thank you. Congratulations. Nice cleaning it up. Thank you. Good luck. Appreciate it. Okay. Good night. All right. Good night. Take care. Good night. When I first went past this gas station, I thought it was a diner. It's a retro one. It's a retro one. I really like it. Yeah, it's very nice. It's always like that. It's my favorite gas station. It's fine actually. Did you find your gas there? Yeah, really. Yeah. Well, you passed it. Yeah, I'm five times a day. All right. We're ahead of schedule, which is always a nice thing. And so next on the agenda, do I need to close the hearing right now? Sorry. Do I close the hearing? You know, I don't know if I ever officially would close. Well, I, yes. Yes, you should. Okay. So, a motion to close the hearing. Correct? Or no? Can I just do it? Well, I think that you can just close it. Okay. Hereby close the hearing of the environmental design review of 125 Broadway, the reopening of the special permit. Moving on to the next order of business is the Allington 360 update. And Jake, you actually got your name in the agenda, which a lot. No, whether... Is that lately? I'd be excited about that. Sure. It's in there regardless. Okay. Well, thank you. We've been working furiously to wrap up a lot of the details. Approval, making some good progress. Today, we saw that the bus stop has been completed. Oh, really? And the sidewalk was poured today, the last little section where the marketing trailer was for up-right view. So that, that condition is now satisfied. We've been working with the land trusts and the concom on sort of adjusting an integrated plan between the utility corridor going up from that, that location up to up-right views where pro con had to reduce restoration and some landscaping for shelter. And then we had some additional erosion control components that we wanted to put together. So we had sort of, we share the same civil engineer, so we did a civil plan that was essentially the same plan with some slight modifications for some drainage that we think could be done. So that is now done and shaped. There's a little bit of cleanup tomorrow, but for the most part that's in with the additional erosion control pieces too. So what's left is to do some hydro-seed so that the seed can hold and hopefully take and stabilize the slopes in that area. And the tree planting. And then the tree planting and the landscape plan that shelter has for the restoration of the marketing center will then happen and another degree is done. So we're getting there on those fronts. We've done a pretty extensive cleanup of the woods in the open space with trash and debris that have been buried by the snow and blown on both sides over the winter. That's now happened. The seeding started to take hold throughout the project. There's still a couple of areas where there's still some erosion. It needs to be re-loomed and seeded. I believe the landscape person will be on site tomorrow to start addressing those components. We still have improvements to the streets. The Siemens have been contracted and has done the loop detectors at the bottom of Summer Street. So it was tough to get on their schedule. They've been given all of the street optimization, the street light intersection optimization information that we've submitted. They have that. I met with the town engineer this morning about today and he said that Siemens had to add a chip to the sequence so that it had a timer to it so that it could switch in and out of different gears based on peak demand at different times to change it so that's being added and we'll be loaded up on the goal tomorrow. So those components are coming together. We have a problem that was brought to our attention and we've noticed it now where in the low of Bister Park the steep slopes that go down that was an area that was infested with a lot of weed plants based on weeds and in the fall we had cleared those out to kind of get them so that we could even get down to the slope and then we stockpiled those per our management agreement at the bottom and along the slope. But recently we took the root structure where the Japanese knotweed has been sprouting all over the place. It's a problem. We had a man on site today with a certified vendor that can treat knotweed and he's talking about doing a multi-year program with ground scapes. They're the same guy who did the mulch blanket? At some point there were some questions about whether the mulch had brought the knotweed in but he confirmed today that he thought the root structure was already... I guess the roots for those extend 25 to 50 feet underground so it's very difficult to get rid of and he said basically if you kill it you need to keep it in place because if you pull it around the seed spread all over the place and it just grows like crazy. Every part of that plant, if you chop it up every part grows again? Monsters. It's like an alien. So he said that the best way to do it is to get on a program where you let it grow until about June then you cut it down and then you come back in the fall and you treat the stalks. And so he's giving us a proposal to do that. He said it's the most effective thing to do and it's also the most cost-effective way of managing it. So he's going to give us a program that'll be for not just the Japanese knotweed but he saw some bittersweet and some suckle and some other things that are much easier to deal with but should be done kind of comprehensively. So we met with the onsite manager for Jeff from the Department Group and we're integrating that into her management plan so she's been kind of running parallel with that. We also have the update to the forest management plan that is due now that the CR has been done and we're transitioning from the construction phase into more of the operation phase and that is I talked to George Ackerson who did the forest management plan I talked to him today we're meeting on the 30th to have him do a tour and then he's going to give us a proposal for doing the update to the plan itself and I think it's a good time to do it because we'll also see what's happening with the knotweed and we'll have that program that we can consider for his evaluation for matching up with the forest management plan and it's a natural point as we transition from construction into operations for these things to kind of adjust and maintain some consistency to give it. So again, Jeff from the Department Group and the manager there is also kind of running parallel with that as it will become her responsibility on a day-to-day basis for managing that and making sure that it's in the operation budget So we're making some progress there we expect that the report will be coming shortly from George it does sound like he's busy so I'm not getting the turnaround time on the actual report itself I hope that's a concern so we're trying to address that with him when we meet but I don't know exactly what his schedule is it was difficult to get him out to the site but we're going to do that on the 30th and the others are welcome to join if they would like to join So other updates the thermal taping of the roads those roads are scheduled notices went out today time manager I think approved the night time operation to fill the way to do the police detail at night that's set up for tomorrow evening so notices were distributed to the butters this afternoon and weather pending there's no rain that's supposed to happen but the forecast looked good for it so I'm told as long as it doesn't dip below freezing I'm going to do that even though it's supposed to go down to the 40s 40s tomorrow night that's hard to believe trying to get the air commission inspired let's see what else can I am I missing here checks for the different those who have been delivered to the land trust they have on both the checks of the land and the town yeah so in terms of the conditions of approval I think the outstanding items really are getting the thermal taping done and there's an ongoing erosion control that's really part of our management contract for the CRs so it's not really tied to this due to accuracy the inspector realizes that most if not all of the plantings have been installed and yes there are some that need to be replaced but those are in process and not a building permit issue so just go over the bus stop for me just because I think that's a little earlier than what was expected I always remember June 15th as being a date on that that was the outside it's for the OVTA to start up their service I think by the 30th so have you completed all parts of the bus stop? yep yep there's a smaller canyon wall the concrete is on board it's set so it's ready for the MBTA put the little stops on it and it's up that's ready to go let's get a little bit depends how you look at it yeah put a big milestone that was a coordination that was crazy but we got it through and we will modify the OVTA are there going to be any changes to the landscape? we moved the tree as discussed so that was saved there's not much else around it there's a little retaining wall there's a cap on it so it can serve as a bench for people to sit on the wall so I don't think it will be functional in a good location there was a lot of snack and they were much encouraged that was a good spot for everybody to access so that's good is the building inspector on board now with everything that's going on with an outweave and the brush a lot of them slept? yes I met with him I saw him this afternoon he that was it I think from groundscapes not to move the trees that were in the trimmings that had been happening that's actually the best erosion control that you can have it's the most natural it's consistent with projects that they've just completed in the Blue Hills Reservation as well as some work at Wellesley College he's going to give me some documentation but it's really best practices he said it doesn't look the greatest but it really restores to the natural and what it does as the the treatment of the invasives the invasives are helping since the root systems are stabilizing slow so as those are removed it sort of helps transition the ecology in a better way so there's a couple of areas that the building inspector pointed out that you wanted to have cleaned up just from a safety perspective so we're addressing those with him and all the trash has been removed yeah I'll leave I saw an email about some beams sticking out of the slope yeah it was one of the old I-beams that held the guardrail there was one that was missed and it's sticking up so we're going to move it back there is one for the next one very secure secure right now and so other than that there are some things that are in the rip-rap slope however it doesn't really make sense to move them because they are contributing to the structural integrity of the slope and they're not in a traffic area for the park use itself so we think we're okay there but we'll confirm that with the building what kind of things are in the rip-rap slope just like other steel beams that are laying down and embedded with some rip-rap over them it's not a high traffic trail the other thing is the edge condition the shoulder of the slopes in that area is treated with the bark mulch application the ground scapes it actually installed and that's all been sated and you can just start to see the peach fuzz of that starting to take hold hopefully that happens and you know that in that area there's no irrigation so it's important to have that growth at this time and that's another reason why we didn't want to be pulling stuff out of the area because we would be pulling over the area that we just seeded and we would play with the lead state blast too so from all these perspectives I think the plan is jelling everybody's understanding what it is and we've been trying to educate people about it because it does look a little bit messy I mean from a casual observer but there are these other embedded issues so we just want to make sure that the natives are going to grow up through it so as soon as stuff starts to leak out there won't be quite as this going like this when it's transition for transition things then shelter is making quite a bit of progress on their landscaping from the soon road it's really starting to kind of have a finished appearance I was by there today it looks like they're doing a lot of the rework that they've talked to you about it looks like that's starting to come to a conclusion I'm not sure exactly where they are on the vertical points but from the casual that they're working it's really starting to become sort of finished they're working much improved we've also been able to do the clean up spring clean up there's sort of an army of people that let's create a clean up activity that's looking a lot better how about the lights that there were some complaints on the lights and requests for shields so if that's been more of shelter's questions because we put the road lights in there were some requests for additional shielding that we did sort of got everybody stabilized and then shelters own lights a little bit later we're coming online and then the lights from their building so there has been some discourse with the neighbors about that they're direct to butters and at the snack really there was a request to look at the lighting plan to make sure that there was consistency with what was installed I understand from shelter that they've had their consultants verify that the photo metric plan has been followed and all of the pictures are consistent with the plan and we meet the dark sky requirements and everything that's in that permit but I haven't come across that in detail and it really ties more to their special permit and everything so we're trying to have a process that has them managing their special permit so it wasn't the road lights so some of the mitigation for the lights was to do additional screening on the road lights and so actually the building inspector would require additional shades for shelter to put on our lights and we've given them permission to do that and given them the contact information of where to get the shield so I know that temporary ones were done it was my understanding that those were deemed to be adequate for what they were trying to accomplish and I know that they had a requirement to put the permanent shades and not just the temporary ones just in a different place so it's my understanding that that's all in the process but you know those shades are just for some reason very difficult to actually get physically you know, shaped to you but it's more of a procurement issue but those were only on some of the lights if I recall right because you had I mean obviously for safety yeah well that's a concern for everybody and from the casual of your work you know the amended lighting plan looks to be okay I think probably at the end of the day some engineers who have stamped the trunks will probably want to go peak and look at it and make sure that it makes sense and have the neighbors who were affected before reacted to the new plan with the shields I thought that they had said that the additional shields were okay but I haven't been directly managing that I know that there's some questions that they want to know that it's consistent with the photometric plan that was permitted and I know that shelter thinks that it is but I don't have their plan so it's hard to evaluate that and we think it really ties to more shelters special permit but the building itself I think to look much more finished and the landscaping I think is looking very attractive I think they have some a little bit along the way yeah so the vent pipe is connected to master building yeah you can still see it but it's better any other comments because then I want to go over a little bit of a schedule for us because I think we may need it off when's our next meeting I don't recall when because our schedule kind of fell apart because we were trying to coordinate it with the board and then over the post town meeting months something we need to get on top of so if I could we believe that as of Wednesday morning we will be done with all of the conditions that were required as a part of our punch list and would be eligible for demonstrating sort of a checklist on the commission to approval which we clearly would want to distribute to the board and have everybody to see and verify and we're ready on the administrative side to start through that with staff so we would anticipate sort of resubmitting something this week the other thing that we have going on is the kind of medium sales which is a big push that we had in a few minutes ago our second signed purchase and sale agreement so that's a big step we have five more that are out for signature for a total of seven that have been agreed has been reserved there's been considerable back and forth on the PNSS themselves so we think that they're mostly done and ready for signature so that's a big step and then we have a couple of new things somewhat promising we never know new reservations so I guess I'm wondering people's availability for next Monday because one of the things that is a concern with the condos as we kind of get to the end of May here is the chicken or the egg issue with a final CEO and being able to sign up the PNSS so it sounds like we're done with the punch list even to the tune of the bus stop which I actually didn't think was going to be one of the ones that we could say that and so I was hoping that Jake and Steph could work on the checklist this week and make sure that Steph gets comfortable that the punch list that we had left the last time is done certainly sounds like we're there and certainly happy to help with that as well and then meet on Monday because as you know the requires us to say that the project is substantially complete before the building inspector can provide the final CEO before the building inspector will we have something from Mike from the building inspector telling us he's good with all this no sorry we don't have to say with respect to the health and safety that's not in our purview it is the other things all of the Monday's VA no because then we'd really be in a circle we'd really be waiting for you you're waiting for us what we're really telling him is that in respect to the special permit and the LDA most especially the LDA that the board considers it to be substantially complete and as you recall about probably six weeks ago now when we sat around the table we said that we needed to get through that punch list before we had that before we were able to make that statement as a board so you are okay great perfect why don't we do it we don't think it'll be a long meeting so maybe seven o'clock on Monday night hopefully there'll be no time meeting I'm expecting there will be no time meeting and we can work through it it would be very helpful to make sure that staff's okay this week we should be able to do that with everything we're so close it's great so far and then we can have a vote on the new chairman at the same time after that I'll give you two more we're not accepting the resignation put that letter back I can't hang out with Jake anymore I won't have any more time I don't think Jake's going to be hanging out anymore it's a fun call away you're not changing your phone number huh well thank you so I think we're scheduled for next Monday if you can do some hard work this week and we'll keep marching can you believe over here okay talk in the morning cell phone please I won't be in the office tomorrow morning we can schedule that with Laura thank you yes exactly take care great minutes this was a nice I like these minutes these minutes work for me I'm good first you didn't make your way through I'm fine Andrew oh you weren't here sorry can I have a motion I'll make a motion to approve I'll second all in favor aye great that was the April 28, 2014 minutes do you need a copy I just couldn't find them they're all clicked together Christian seconded by Bruce three voted in favor Mr. Nell abstained I added an R you must get that a lot though are you adding an R I added a R we're just getting ready for being chairmen so you massacred it so that would be good for me did you get a report from the board have you given any more thoughts I'm hoping it's tonight it was the last night I agree with you although I think we could have taken advantage of it summarize the effort on Sims and to drive home without urban renewal you wouldn't have two parks you wouldn't have a business contributing to the tax base you wouldn't have a bus stop you wouldn't have a conservation restriction you would have lots more density and taller towers yeah it's so you're going to get up and sit down no we can just say that Carol could say it much better than I could if you you can stand beside her yeah I kind of bandied it back and forth and what we should have done is made a list of all of the all of the accomplishments of the board over the past few years and added that in there you know there's several things that have gone through that have ended up being much better than they otherwise would be only this one used urban renewal that's true I just think it was an opportunity to try to help explain what that authority gives Arlington and that most communities don't have it yeah I'm definitely not the right one to explain that but yes can you say something I could but it would come better from the board I'll twist his arm later I don't know that I'll get there I don't know that I'll get there it could be Wednesday I hope it's Wednesday I'm not sure I'll actually be at town meeting oh do they think they'll be done tonight I think it's an outside chance because it's budgets starting at the beginning there's several other articles after that but depending upon how budgets go I don't think anything is really too controversial in there although you never know I think town meeting members might be motivated to yeah the electronic clicker has been magic it has been moved along absolutely moved along well you don't have as many as the standing votes correct that takes a while even on the voice vote there's always a few people who are loud so it can sound very much closer than when you actually count the votes close yeah yes we shall see so I will entertain you I'll make a motion I'll second all in favor bye


A Russian soldier injured in the war was given vegetables instead of monetary compensation. A Russian soldier, who was severely wounded while fighting in Ukraine, has received only two buckets of carrots and a bag of onions from the government instead of the money his family thought he would receive according to a new report. The report was published by the independent investigative outlet Mozem Obyaznit, which reportedly interviewed the soldier's wife for the story. The Mozem Obyaznit article said Oleg Rybkin, 45, was mobilized from Russia's Volgograd region to fight in Ukraine in September 2022. In June, Rybkin was in combat near the village of Robotyn in Zaporizia Oblast. While serving in Robotyn, Rybkin was wounded in the abdomen, liver, kidneys, and his right knee joint was destroyed. Rybkin reportedly underwent an operation at a local hospital in Ukraine before undergoing abdominal surgery at a hospital in Sevastopol, Crimea. Russia's military medical commission then deemed Rybkin to be temporarily unfit to fight and he was sent to St. Petersburg for further rehabilitation. The soldier's wife, Irina Rybkina, described her husband as being in extreme pain and in need of a knee surgery that he never received. Nevertheless, he was soon reportedly made to return to his unit. Medical professionals have told Irina that her spouse needs a knee replacement procedure, she claimed that Russia's military command doesn't want to be forced to pay the 3 million rubles or $32,730 in compensation and a lifelong pension that Oleg would receive if he's found permanently unfit to serve. Instead of the rubles and the pension, Irina told Mozem Obyaznit that the only help Russian government officials have given her family is in the form of two buckets of carrots and a bag of onions grown by local farmers. What vegetables? What gifts? Do I need to replace my husband's joint and get him discharged? She said it is reported that Oleg is currently back serving in his unit while using crutches.


what is up everyone welcome back to for more exo's heroes content in today's video we are going to discuss the three game changing mechanics in update 2.0 as you all know there are a lot of changes that were dropped during the update but we'll pick the most game changing that will help you improve your progress and improve your team in exo's heroes but before that if you want to see more exo's here content please be sure to subscribe down below to start off we will start with awakening hero so for awakening hero you'll be required to level up your faded equipment all six of them including your weapon to level 60 um this has been pretty much criticized to be a very hard upgrade to do because number one you'll be consuming all of your weapons oh sorry all of your equipment and your weapon and as players we have been investing a lot on on on these to level up our character and for this one you will be forced to consume them okay um equipment and weapon that were special forged polished and magic enhanced except for weapon awakening they will be given gold or mana and equipment so um for more on these please check out the patch on the official facebook page of uh of exo's heroes if you can if you can forego that for a bit the negative side of consuming your equipment um as you can see there are benefits to this one and the effects uh for awakening are permanent okay so if you can see here um in our awakened bonus effect uh let's go back first for frankie so frankie has already a six garden stones um with the same color which is blue or frost so if we go back he already has a defense uh effect of plus 700 just in case i awaken him so that's a permanent effect that can no longer be removed and also for awakened level one you will have an increase in combat power attack defense in hp and if you take a take a look at at the attack the combat power the defense these are significant increases they're they're not they're not just small increases like for example if you take a look at your attack it's a multiplier of three so times three your defense increases by probably times two or double and your hp increases nearly 1500 hp and your combat power increases as well so for me this is this is also a plus to awakening your hero i know it's really hard to find faded equipment and to and to level them up and to enhance them and to and to put the other enhancements the polishing the special forging but i would say it's a little bit it's a little bit um it uh what do you call this it's worth it by little bit just a little bit because number one as long as if you're careful enough not to not to level this up your your your your equipment beyond level 60 your faded equipment beyond level 60 i don't think it would be a problem like for example for friend here the what i have right now is i have only one faded which is level 58 so when it reaches level 60 i can now do the awakening provided that i have a holy holy water of the universe but if you have a similar problem like i have i have already enhanced polished my equipment and had special forging that is why they're they're already glittering white i would suggest that you don't do this you equip them out and replace them with level 60 faded so because the minimum for this one is only level 60 faded you don't have to you're not required to polish anything or or do anything more than that uh if you did something or did more than that again um items will be returned to you but i would suggest you you re-equip your characters if you already went above uh leveling up uh 60 for faded weapons so and the plus side to this once you've awakened your hero you can re-equip them again so more more starting increases will be given so i don't think this is really bad it it's just a bit of a struggle i know i feel for for some of the players there who have farmed so hard for their equipment and their weapons and yet have them be consumed but again um i like this because of the amount of increase that it gives your characters if it's just a minimal increase i won't even recommend this but if you can see the increase here it's very significant uh and it will help you it will help you um really improve your progression in your pvp in your chapter 11 or in the path of sharia it's a must it would really be a big help for you uh it would be a grind especially for players who don't have a lot of faded 60 level equipment or weapon it would really take time um but but the the the upside is is way its way is i think above more a little bit than the downside so i would like you to consider this as one that you should build on i know this is difficult i know this is this would take time but i would suggest you prioritize um you prioritize your pvp team and your pvp tag teams so those are the 15 players or 15s or 15 heroes that that i think you should prioritize awakening your heroes with all right guys moving on the next would be our elemental damage so if you if you if you've read the patch notes for for xo here update 2.0 there's a portion there for elemental damage effect so you can you can view it here in the battle guide so here elemental so your elemental damage is gives you elemental advantages over over your competing elements so that's it um sad to say that it only must be obtained through the signature force so i'll cover signature force later after this one but the advantages of your elemental damage effects it applies only to single and multiple targets spells that consumes mana and does not apply to damage over time effects okay not applicable to your passive skills okay so again this is a way of enhancing your damage especially if you have a hard time clearing stages so you'll have the upper hand here in clearing your chapters and pvp might be easier because there might be a shift um in terms of teams and team building because you might you know find a way on how to counter the existing pvp teams the downside the only downside of this one again um if i may say is your signature force so let let let us see uh here this is already open because i was able to to meet one of the conditions but i think it needs another another Frankie i need to solve another copy of Frankie for this to be open that is what i think i'm not sure yet um because it it says here in the needed material you need one more hero but in the conditions i already met it if you if you have seen my my shuffrackin earlier uh he's already at plus one for the transcendence so this we have to we have to take a take a closer look first because um if this one would be hard harder to accomplish your elemental damage will also be affected but i'm keeping an optimistic mind that once i get another shuffrackin and try to unlock this one i probably could have an advantage already if you guys agree with me with awakening heroes and elemental damage effects please comment below and we move to the last part of our game changing mechanics so the last thing that will be discussing is your mana supply change okay here we are so for mana supply change so this is it it's under your special passive so upon entering five star one mana is generated for heroes on the same row once every round at the start of own turn so for for attack and chaos you can still generate mana through your basic attack while for your defender and for your support players you can still generate mana while um being attacked so the only thing that that that changed before uh you generate mana based on what element that you have but now you generate mana based on how many heroes that are there in a single formation let's let's take a look at the formations for example um okay so for example you have a formation which is emphasized back row so if i add rara there so the difference between the front row is uh the front row would only be getting one mana every round unlike for example the back row for each for each turn that that every hero gets everyone gets one mana so for example um for example uh tantalo takes his turn the others also gain mana so it rotates on depending on how how fast is their attack speed so so on and so forth so again if you complete the rotation of all all the players at the back uh all all heroes will be getting at least four mana while the front will only be getting one mana the gameplay right now will depend on your formation and how your heroes synergize with each other heroes that will play a big part of would change the game uh are would would be your mana producers for example my top three would be pan dorka and iris so they would they would really give a big enhancement to your to your team in terms of mana production so i don't see i don't see an overall negative side with this one i think it balances out each element and provides um other heroes to shine here i think the update 2.0 was a very big change for everybody it's it was too much to you know too much to digest too many changes to have in one update but eventually i had to look at the patch in a way that um how does it really benefit all of the players do they does it benefit the players short term or in the long term does it promote creativeness in the game yes because people will have to think more and probably do a lot of team building in order to have a new group in pvp meta to have a new you know new hero shine with the new with a new mana supply change this encourages creativity that is why i like the update be up to you and how to learn how to mix and match your heroes mix and match your strategies and mix and match your synergy well guys it's been a long day and that includes this video again let me know what you think in the comments below your thoughts your objections your agreements please let me know again you all stay safe and see you guys in the next video warden out

This one comes with the 20 inch painted alloy wheels with chrome pockets. It has Michelin LTX 80 tires. These are LT 275 65R 20s.

I take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here.

No rips or tears back here. These seats are heated on the outboard side. Power sliding rear window. Really nice condition on these seats. They fold up like that. You get a load floor back here which is nice if you've got muddy boots or tools. Put them on there.  Same thing with pets. Put both sides down.  Storage underneath there. Other side has the factory subwoofer because it has the Alpine premium sound system. You get in-floor storage back here with removable bins for easy cleaning. You can put ice and drinks in there.

This one has the digital spinometer, compass, outside temp display, instrument cluster is very nice and clean, comes with the heated leather wrap steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left, and you do get audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. There's your 6-speed, 68 RFE automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. Does have the factory navigation system on the 8.4 4C radio. There is Highway 41, so that is working nicely. You get all your different media here, AM, FM, and Serious XM radio capabilities, Bluetooth, AUG, CD player, and USB. Your CD player is in the center console here.

Like I said, smells very clean here. I don't think it's ever been smoked in in just a really nice truck. Let's start it up. Take a look under the hood. Starts right up. Check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options and, of course, cleanliness of this truck all the way around inside and out. Under the hood we have the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safe and inspected by a sew shop as a fresh oil and filter change, while the fluids have been checked and topped off. This truck is 100% ready to go. There is the emission sticker. I would highly recommend this truck for make quality and condition standpoint. I think it's in really nice shape. Whoever's going to get it, it's going to absolutely love it and put it to good use.

Thank you, Professor Gunsheimer, for that lovely introduction, and thank you all for being here. Thank you to the barns and for all the coordinators for your hard work. Amid the blazing sun, clouds of dust, sounds of cartwheels passing, and the unique fragrance of the ancient city, the weary traveler on the road to Pompeii would have been confronted with towering monuments of all shapes and sizes when approaching the main thoroughfare leading to the city gate. Lining this road, known as the Via d'Asepulchri, the tombs of Pompeii's most illustrious citizens vie for the notice of passers-by. Beginning miles from the Porta di Etcolano, one of the major city gates, grandiose monuments populate an important and busy route and are unmistakable even today. Attitudes toward an afterlife were inconsistent in the Roman Empire, and the multiplicity of religions and belief systems ensured only a tenuous agreement on the survival of the soul after death. Therefore, the only assured way to immortality was to be remembered by the living. One permanent and powerful solution to this dilemma was the construction of funerary monuments. In their function as the final markers of an individual's life and memory, the architectural forms, decoration, and even epitaphs of Roman funerary monuments helped to create the identity the patron wished to display. Following the pioneering phenomenological work of Penelope Davies and A. N. Favreau, by reconstructing the lived experience of one of these monuments, the tomb of the freedwoman Nevolia Taichi in Pompeii, this study aims to demonstrate how the active engagement of viewers was sought and utilized in the creation of posthumous memory. Nevolia Taichi was neither the richest nor most powerful of Pompeii and women, yet today she numbers among the most famous. Although once a slave, the memory of this freedwoman has endured over two millennia thanks to the survival of a grand mausoleum in Pompeii, which celebrates Taichi and her husband, the freedman Gaius Minatius Faustus. Penerary monument of Faustus and Taichi constructed circa 60 CE along the Via de Sepulchre. And here I just have a map to situate us. The structure is composed of a raised altar on a high podium, completely enclosed by a tall wall. Only access to the interior of the tomb is through a small door in the north side of the enclosure wall, here in yellow. Once through the doorway and narrow passage, the visitor is immediately presented with a second small doorway leading into the burial chamber, which is lined with our niches. A monumental altar rests atop the base of the structure. Constructed of marble, the altar is decorated on three sides with relief sculpture, which together form a continuous pictorial narrative. At the very top of the front north panel, the bust of a woman, typically identified as Taichi, is placed through a shuttered window. Below, the monument's inscription reads, Novolia Taichi, freedwoman of Luchias, for herself and Gaius Minatius Faustus, Augustalis and Paganus, who was decreed the bifelium for his merits by the Decurions and the consent of the people. This monument is built by Novolia Taichi for her freedmen and freedwomen and for those of Gaius Minatius Faustus lost alive. A figure relief theme lies in the register directly below the inscription. Two small figures, here, slaves or helpers, stand on either side of a grain or skeptical in the center of the scene. A group of six men dressed in togas stand on the right side, with Faustus at the head of the group. On the left is a gathering of figures with baskets. This segment presents a biographical detail of the couple's lives by depicting a grain doll they sponsored for the people of Pompeii. Grounding the central register and intersecting with the bust of Taichi is a border of scrolling and canvas finds, a motif with funerial associations that appears on all three of the sculpted panels. On the side of the tomb, closest to the Porta di Ercolano, the east relief panel depicts a bifelium, or double width bench, an honor awarded to Faustus for outstanding civic service as a member of the Augustalis, a civic organization of freedmen. Third and final sculpted relief panel adorns the west side of the altar, populating the very center is a ship on water with raved sails. Six figures appear on the deck of the vessel. The largest, perhaps Faustus, sits and steers a ship with a rudder while the others tend to the sails. West panel, although seemingly simple, is actually the one most heavily debated by scholars. Generally, there have been two approaches taken to interpreting the scene. First suggests it represents the journey of the deceased to the afterlife. The passage across a body of water to reach the afterlife was a well-known belief throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, and many scholars, including the famous Pompeian archaeologist August Mao, espoused this theory. Mao, for instance, lent support for this argument by quoting Ciceroes on old books. As for myself, I find the ripening of life truly agreeable. Here I come to the time of death, the more I feel like one who begins to see land and know that sometime he will enter the harbor after the long voyage. Adherents to the second interpretation believe the scene depicts the industry through which Faustus and Taiki acquired their fortune. The inclusion of an image signifying one's profession upon a funerary monument was not uncommon in the ancient Roman world. For instance, the famous first-century BCE tomb of the Bucchies outside the Porta Magiore in Rome, built in the form of a monumental bread oven that traded the riches of the world. The tomb is conspicuous in both its monumental form and location in light of these and other architectural antecedents and considering the architectural, iconographical, and textual components of the monument of Taiki and Faustus. It seems unlikely that the vessel depicted on the west face of the altar was meant to communicate the business in which Faustus and Taiki were. Perhaps the strongest evidence in favor of the industry interpretation comes from an understanding of the ways in which a viewer could approach the monument. I propose that the tomb of Taiki and Faustus carefully considers and controls a viewer's experience. When approaching the gate, the structure is visible from far down the road and we can kind of just barely see it here. Slowly, as one draws near to the tomb, we see a surge. Finally, just in front of Villa di Diomede, three lots northwest of the tomb, the ship and sailors can be seen. Bearing in mind that most viewers would have encountered the structure from the northwest as they approached the city gate, the west face of the altar would have been the one first observed. In front of the structure, the north panel comes into view, the east. During this mode of approach, the alter decoration reads, I believe, in sequential order as a continuous narrative of cause and effect. The first panel, with the cargo ship and crew, informs a viewer of how those whom the tomb celebrates. Next, the observer encounters the bust of Taiki, the inscription, and most importantly, the grain doll scene. The inscription identifies those buried within and informs a viewer of Faustus's service to the city and generosity. And the relief seen below depicts the bent. At last, one observes the east panel depicting the bifelium, the culmination of Faustus's accomplishments. Read in this manner, the three relief panels that adorn the altar narrate the highlights of the couple's life in chronological order. By beginning his career as a freedman in the shipping industry, Faustus was successful enough to become an Augustalis and provide grain doll to the city. For his generosity, he was awarded a double width bench in the feeder. This simple but powerful device tells the story of the couple's lives and successes presented in a clear and continuous manner and supports no interpretation but that of the family's involvement in the shipping industry. The narrative is, however, further complicated by the existence of a second tomb intended for the couple outside the Porta di Nocera, a second and more minor thoroughfare into the city. Generally believed to be the first tomb constructed by the pair, the Porta di Nocera tomb is simpler in the form of a small house with a pitched roof and open interior courtyard. The inscription is brief, relaying the names and titles of those whom the tomb honors. Unlike the inscription of the Porta di Edgolano monument, the Porta di Nocera inscription lists only Faustus's positions as Augustalis and Paganos. However, it does record that the place of burial was given by decree of the Decorions, members of the city council, a high honor. This observation has led some scholars to propose that Faustus was awarded the bicellium after the first tomb had already been erected, thus prompting the construction of a second tomb outside a more prominent gate. While chronologically sound, the absence of Faustus's remains and the inscription of the later tomb clearly indicated that Paganos patronage would suggest otherwise. The problem of the two tombs has often been explained as an attempt by Taiki to publicly elevate her status after the death of her husband. While I do not suggest this reading is incorrect, it is important to remember that the monument did not serve simply to honor Taiki, but also celebrated Faustus's achievements, which are, in fact, more prominent than Taiki's self-acgrandizement. At the same time, the monument does serve to highlight the wealth and generosity of Taiki, as the tomb housed the remains of the couple's many freedmen and women. The frequent appearance of her name in the epitaph, along with her portrait bust, helped construct her public identity as one of wealth, status, and generosity. Bearing in mind the multifaceted function of the cenotaph as a monument to self, family, and affiliates, what was it that prompted Taiki to commission the monument? Really holy selfish north self, less a gesture. The desire to celebrate herself and her husband does not seem reason enough to construct a second funerary monument. Might there have been an anxiety other than the oblivion of death? Armed with another important observation, a deeper understanding of Taiki's motives in building a cenotaph begins to unfold. As far as the existing literary record indicates, Faustus and Taiki had no known living heirs, freeborn or otherwise. Although she may not have begun her life as a Roman citizen, Taiki certainly ended her life as one. As has been the case throughout history, without a family's identity and status died with the last surviving family member. Without offspring, there would have been no one to carry on the family's newly established guns or sustain and increase the wealth and status Taiki and Faustus worked so hard to accumulate in their lifetime. From this perspective, Taiki's grand public celebration of herself and husband seems, at least in some sense, justified. A second memorial was one of the few forms of monumental commemoration available to Taiki, which, although redundant, offered her the possibility of immortality through the perseverance of her memory and public consciousness. Accordingly, the identity Taiki created for herself through the monument celebrated all the things she would lose with the end of her familial line. Location of the cenotaph outside the busy port to the echolano, the great height and visibility of the monument, and the lavish materials of the structure lend further support to this evaluation. A similar last-ditch attempt at propagating one's memory can be observed in the mid-1st century CE monument to Gaia Sestorius Priscus. His altar tomb, located outside the Porta di Vesuvio in Pompeii, is comprised of a rectangular altar on a raised base and surrounded by high enclosure walls. Interior of the tomb is painted in vivid fresco and on the exterior. The inscription is short but informative, recording. Two Gaia Sestorius Priscus, Adal, he lived 22 years. The place of burial and 2,000 cisterns she's for the funeral were given by the decree of the Decurion. Eprisca, his mother, paid for this with her own money. Born here is not only the fact that the deceased mother will be Eprisca, dedicated the tomb, but that she clearly announces her involvement in its construction. Here, as with the monument of Taiki, the patron of the final resting place of the family member as a vehicle through which to establish her own identity. With Prisca and Taiki alike, it was left to the woman to promote the survival of her memory. A further connection between the two tomb iconographic details, like the monument of Taiki and Faustus. The tomb of Priscus combines scenes of the Adal civic service with biographical moments. Considering both monuments were constructed and dedicated by women, perhaps this suggests a trope of female dedication in first century CE. The creation of one's identity was not a static process. Instead, it required constant renegotiation. The monumental funerary altar of Nevolia Taiki in its attempt to display the identity of its patron, functioned as a continual performance of identity and memory making, requiring the viewer to move around the monument to properly read the continual relief decoration. Spurring interest and the activation of memory, the funerary monument served to propagate the identity and importance of its honorees, sustaining the process of self-assertion for the deceased and the deaf. Through close consideration of the physical form and context of her tomb, public persona, and processes through which memory was created and propagated, Memorial of Nevolia Taiki underscores the function of funerary monuments as essential final markers of identity. I suggest the visibility, potency, and permanence of such memorials allowed patrons to make an important statement about who the deceased was and how they should be remembered. In this way, we can observe what it meant to be a freedwoman of considerable wealth and Pompeii in society through a funerary monument that requires the active engagement of a parker. Now, we're Nevolia Taiki alive to see her legacy today. She would be pleased with the 2,000 longevity of her memory. Thank you.


Live from Chicago, Illinois, it's the Cube. Covering VeeamON 2018, brought to you by Veeam. We're back in the windy city. This is the Cube, the leader in live tech coverage. My name is Dave Vellante and I'm here with Stu Miniman. This is our second day of covering VeeamON 2018. Second year of the Cube at VeeamON. Danny Allen is here as the vice president of product strategy at Veeam. Welcome, back to the Cube. Good to see you again. Thank you, very excited to be here. Love the keynote yesterday, gave a lot of detail. The bumper sticker, the summary on your product strategy. How would you summarize your product strategy? It is to be the most comprehensive intelligent data management platform that meets the demands of the enterprise. So when you say intelligent data management, people hear that, they certainly don't go immediately to backup and data protection. So you've expanded that notion of what you guys do. There's a TAM expansion there as well, which is great. What do you guys mean by intelligent data management? So, believe it's a journey, first of all, right? And it starts with backup in our application. I know that there are vendors that are saying, hey, this is a new world, completely different. You know what, the cornerstone of this is still backup in our application. So that is the first stage on this journey. We believe that right now, especially the customers I'm talking to, they're deploying things on the public cloud. They're deploying things in SaaS clouds. It's all over the place. It's growing, it's sprawling, trying to get their hands around it. And so they have to do that first as the next step. And then it's an evolution beyond that. Okay, now I understand it. Now, let me do something with it. Let me actually drive the business to better outcomes. So, some things we know, or we believe anyway, that data protection and orchestration are moving up on the list of priorities for CXOs. That's, I think, very clear, you would agree. But there's a dichotomy that exists between the perception from the business side as to what can be done in terms of data protection, particularly with regard to the degrees of automation and what IT today can deliver. So there's tension there. And there's, frankly, lots of opportunity for churn. When you talk to people about, okay, are you going to switch data protection vendors as you go to this digitization, multi-cloud, or are you wed to them? And they're like, no, we're totally open. We have an open mind. So that's good news for you guys. So, thinking about those trends, how do you take advantage from a product standpoint? Well, Veeam has been known, I always talk about three words. It just works. People love us because the software works and it's reliable. And so that's the starting point in all of this. The opportunity, I believe, is in that it just works. And so if we take them through this journey towards intelligent data management, every step has to be about it just works. In some ways, the step from stage one to stage two, which is aggregating data, is at an infrastructure level. As you get to the later stages of three, four, or five, it just works at a business level. And so our focus is still going to be on that simplicity, reliability, making sure the platform works. So I want to follow up on that because it just works. Obviously it's going to resonate with the IT Pro, who's got a deal with failed backups, with poor reporting, with lousy recovery, slow, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, getting pounded because they're losing data. We all know that thankless world. But in terms of the business side, there's billions of dollars being left on the table by businesses in the Fortune 1000 because they have inadequate data protection, processes, procedures, architectures. Not, I mean, there's becoming aware of it. But what's the above the line message? So it just works. How do you crack through that billions of dollars of opportunity and get CFOs to open up the wallet? That is the great opportunity for you guys, we think. It is, so they have challenges in a number of areas, right? Compliance, security, regulatory. We don't talk to executives at the C level and hear them say, oh, I need backup, I need replication. They're saying reduce my costs. Well, if you can leverage, it just works and deploy this in a way that requires less FTEs that makes it simpler to do it, that can give them attestation, proof that, hey, I can fail over to the public cloud, I can burst up to the public cloud or to a managed cloud. If I can give that fluidity, that's an it just works at an ROI perspective. Or we talk about intelligent data management and sometimes I'll be honest, I roll my eyes when I hear artificial intelligence. And that's not because it's not real. It's because what we haven't done is taken it just works and applied it to the business. So an example of this, forget artificial intelligence for a moment. One of the examples I give is, if you see malware crossing the network, that is a really good time to do something. Let's leverage that intelligence to provide an outcome. And that's an it just works at the business level rather than at the infrastructure level. All right, so Danny, I love the message. It's any data, any app across any cloud. We have these pesky little things called like physics and data gravity and the like. So, protecting and getting access to my data in the public cloud versus the edge with, we're going to see 90 plus percent of the data in the future versus my traditional data center and the SAS, it's a complicated world. How do you make it that simple? Well, so let me expand our benefits into a third area. So Veeam took off in that it was easy to use. It was reliable. But the second one is the portability and the agnostic system of the platform. You didn't need media servers. It was all self-describing backup things, VBKs or Vibs without trying to get too technically clear. That self-describing capability allows us to move between infrastructures. In some ways, what VMware did at the hardware level, they decoupled the workload from the physical server. We're decoupling the workload from the infrastructure on which it sits because it's this self-describing very portable format that enables fluidity of movement. All right, so I haven't heard much about edge yet. Is that a place that you expect Veeam to have a play? Yes, and I expect we have to do that. And the reason is because a lot of the computing now is happening out at the edge and you want to make your actions out at the edge. There's this concept in the U.S. Air Force called the Udalloo, observe, orient, decide, and act. You would try and act out on the edge. But my belief is that data protection systems will do some of that protection out on the edge, but sometimes they won't know what to do. And so the information will be sent back to the cloud or sent back to the core to make a better business decision on what should we do with this data. When you think about your platform, we were talking to Peter McKay about you've gone and gone from a product company to a platform company. We talked about that a little bit, but I wonder if we could dig into it more from a standpoint of your role as head of product strategy. What does the platform mean? Where do you see that platform going? Can you share a little roadmap with us? Platform to me has kind of three connotations to it. One is that you have the capabilities within the platform that are very broad, and we believe we have that. We can cover physical, virtual cloud, we have orchestration, we have reporting, we have all of those capabilities. The second though is comprehensive APIs. You need to have the extensibility in a platform that you can actually talk to the ecosystem of partners. And that's actually the third area. It's being able to work with your Cisco's and your NetApps and your HPEs and all of our partners to deliver these better outcomes. Yeah, I mean, it's funny. Last year, Stu, when we saw a beam and sort of the introduction of those capabilities, I noted that, I remember the ascendancy of EMC back in the day, they did a really good job of connecting to everything that was out there. I mean, it sounds so simple, but it's integration work.  It's a lot of work, Dave. I've got the scars living in the center of the lab.  And I don't want to say it's unique in the business, but you seem to have an aptitude to do it without it appearing to be such a heavy lift to the marketplace. Why is that? Well, frankly, it's a scalability thing. We're an almost $1 billion company. This year, we should cross $1 billion in bookings. And if you want to scale to add more and more partners, you take our storage integrations, for example, we were doing maybe one a year for a few years.  And so we've added just in the last six months, IBM, Lenovo, Infinidap, Pure. The only way you can do that is to have a consistent API framework that people can plug into. It's the way we scale. Right, well, I mean, but again, I look at a company like VMware when we saw all the sort of integration challenges that they went through and the limited resources that they had, you remember it was, and the cartel got the SDKs first and it took forever to get the integrations done. A year later, you might see some function. It just seems like you guys have some kind of good process internally to actually make this stuff work. We're the largest small company you've ever met. We're really agile internally. It helps us to respond to the customer requests.  If we can't respond to that quickly, we'll never be successful. Danny, just wondering if you can stand a little bit on the cloud opportunity. Should we be looking to see more cloud services out of Veeam as you kind of layer on what's happening you had the acquisition a year ago? Unquestionably, so I say 2017 was the year of agents. We added support for physical and for cloud, but through agents. I tell everyone that 2018 is really the year of the cloud for us. We started the year by acquiring N2W software, but last week, for example, it's not even making huge PR announcements. We just released version two of backup for Office 365, which adds OneDrive and SharePoint support. And you'll see in the next release of our product, Anton has a breakout session on this today, another huge capability around not just integrating with the cloud, but actually integrating in a way that provides business value. I'm a big believer in you don't just put a checkbox in. I support cloud. I can send things to the cloud. It's how do I actually use the cloud in a way that delivers business outcomes? So this year actually, 2018 is about cloud for Veeam. I want to follow up on that because as an observer of this industry for a long time, there seems to be sort of two philosophies, and you just laid out yours. You're not a big believer in checkboxes, but I've seen it. You're an old company. We got every feature, and it would take the sales person, and we have this, they don't, headlock buy it. So you're not trying to do the checkbox game. You're trying to map business value to, or your features and capabilities to business value for the customer. And that's how you sell and emphasize in your sales motions. Yes, so this is somewhat of a controversial statement, but we sometimes say, we won't be first to market with a feature. We'll be first to market with a solution. So you can come out with, for example, sending things to object storage in the cloud.  But if you deliver that in a way that actually is effective, then you can leverage the cloud as a tool because the cloud is not a destination for most of these enterprises. It's a tool in their toolbox that they use to solve a problem. So we're all about solving those problems. Excellent. All right, Danny, thanks so much for coming back in theCUBE. We'll give you a last word on Veeam on 2018 and maybe give us a little preview of what we can expect. Well, we're really excited to be here. The most exciting thing to me is, is the recognition in the conversations with customers about this journey towards intelligent data management. As you said, most customers are in stage one, stage two, but for us, this is a partnership. This isn't us just giving software. This is talking to customers, talking to partners, making them successful. All right, well, hey, congratulations on a great show and all the success. And thanks for coming to theCUBE. Thank you very much. Happy to be here. All right, keep it right there, everybody. Stu and I will be back with our next guest from Chicago, theCUBE Veeamon 2018. We'll be right back.
