from Silicon Valley. It's theCUBE covering Google Cloud Next 17. Hi, and welcome to the second day of live coverage here of theCUBE covering Google Next 2017. We're at the heart of Silicon Valley here at our 4,500 square foot new studio in Palo Alto. We've got a team of reporters and analysts up in San Francisco checking out everything that's happening in Google. I was up there for the day two keynote and happy to have with me as the first guest of the day, friend of theCUBE, Mark Farley, Vulcancast, guy that knows clouds, worked for one of the big three in the past and kind of helped me break down some of what's going on in the marketplace market. It's great to see you. Oh, it's really nice to be here too. Thanks for asking me on. Oh, I'm always happy to hear that. And what a lot of fun stuff to get into. Oh my God, yeah.  It's, you know, we talked about, you know, I wonder, Amazon re-invent is like the Super Bowl of the industry there. What's Google there if, you know? Well, Google pulls a lot of resources for this, right? And they can put on a very impressive show. So if this is the, if Invent is the Super Bowl, then maybe this, maybe next is the college, championship game.  It's a big deal.  It's the up and coming. Oh, it's a lot better than that, right? I mean, Google really does some spectacular things, you know, at events. Google, come on, we all use Google. We all know Google. They're Google. 10,000 people showed up. There's a lot of excitement. So what's your take of the show so far and Google's positioning in cloud?  And of course, Google Glass is a thing of the past. But I don't know if you remember when they introduced that. I do. When they had the skydivers, you know, skydivers diving out of an airplane and then climbing up the outside of the building in Moscone and all that, it was really spectacular. I mean, so it's kind of, nobody can will ever reach that mark again, probably not even the Academy Awards, right? But, you know, so, but you asked the second part of the question, what's Google positioning in the cloud? I mean, I think that's going to be the big question moving forward. They are obviously committed to doing it and they're bringing, you know, unique capabilities into cloud that you don't see from either Amazon or Microsoft. Yeah, I mean, coming into it, there's certain things that we've been hearing forever about Google and especially when you talk about Google and the enterprises. Are they serious? Is this just beta? You know, are they going to put the money in? I thought Eric Schmidt did a real good job yesterday in the close of the keynote and he's like, look, I've been telling Google to push hard in the enterprise for 17 years. Look, I signed a check for $30 billion. $30 billion.  I want to smash that perception because there's certain things you can do in the consumer side that you cannot get away with on the enterprise challenge and she knows that they're putting a lot of effort to transform their support, transform the pricing, you know, dig in with partners and channels and some of it is, you know, they've gotten the strategy together, they've gotten the pieces together, we're moving things from, you know, beta to GA and they're making good progress. So, you know, I think they have, you know, addressed some of the misperceptions, that being said, everybody usually it's like, oh, well, I've been hearing this for five years, it's probably going to take me a couple of years to really believe it. Yeah, but you know, the thing is, is for people that know Diane Greene and have watched, you know, VMware over the years and then, you know, her being there at Google is a real commitment and, you know, she's talking about commitment, she's, you know, when she talks about that business, you know, it's full pedal of the metal, this is a very serious, it's more, the thing that's interesting about it, it's a lot more than infrastructure as a service, right, and I mean, the kinds of APIs and apps and everything that they're bringing, this is a lot more than just infrastructure, this is Google, you know, Google developed, Google, if you will, proprietary technology, I know that they're turning to the external world to use and that's, and there's some really sophisticated stuff in there.  I'm trying to remember what it's called, it's the stuff around personal identifiable information that they're doing, right? Yeah, so that's what they call DLP here, it's the Data Loss Prevention API. Thank goodness for my Evernote here, which I believe runs on Google Cloud, keeping up to date, so I'm gonna take some other notes. Data loss prevention shouldn't be so hard to remember, right, and it. Anyway, you said like, you know, proprietary stuff, one thing about Google is, you know, that data loss prevention, it's an API, they want to make it easy to get in, a lot of what they do is open source, they feel that that's one of their differentiations, is to be, you know, we always used to say on the infrastructure side, it's like, everybody's thumping their chest, who's more open than everybody else? Google, you know, lots of cool stuff, everything from the TensorFlow and Kubernetes that's coming out, where some of us are like, okay, how will they actually make money on some of this, will it be services, but yeah, data loss prevention API, which was like a really cool demo, it's like, okay, here's a credit card, the video kind of takes it and it redacts the number, it can redact cell security numbers, it's got that kind of machine learning AI with the video and all those things built in to try to help security and encrypt and protect what you're doing. It's mind boggling, right, you think about, you know, they do the facial recognition, but they're doing content recognition also, right, and you could have a string of numbers there that might not be a phone number, it might not be a social security number, and the question is, you know, would DLP flag that too? Who knows, it doesn't really matter, what matters is that they can actually do this, right? And if you, you know, as a storage person, you know, you get involved in compliance and risk and mitigation and all these kinds of things, right, over the years, and it's hard for software to go in and scan a lot of data to just look for, you know, text, not images of numbers on a photograph, but just text in a document, whether it's a Word file or something, right, and you say, oh, it's not so hard, but when you try to do that at scale, it's really hard at scale.  And you have to think that that is part of the consideration for them because they are large scale. And if they can do that, Stu, that is going to be wildly impressive. Yeah, Mark, everything that Google does tends to be built for scale, so you would think they could do that, right, and I think about all the breaches, it was usually, oh, oops, we didn't realize we had this information, didn't know where it was or things like that. So if Google could help address that, you know, they're looking at some of those, you know, core, you know, security issues, they've talked about, they've got a second form factor authentication with a little USB tab that can go into your computer end-to-end encryption if you've got, you know, Android and Chrome devices. So a lot of, you know, good sounding things on kind of the encryption and security. Yeah, and, you know, one of the other things they notice, I don't know if this is part of the same thinking, right, but they talk about 64 core servers and they talk about, or VMs, I should say, 64 core VMs and they're talking about getting the latest and greatest from Intel. What is it, Skylink? Skylake. Skylake, yeah, thanks. They had Regine actually up on stage, Regine's skilling, Kubellum, you know, know her well, was happy to see her up on stage, you know, just showing off what they're doing and not only just the chipset, but, you know, Intel's digging in, doing development on Kubernetes, doing development on TensorFlow to help with really performance. And we've seen Intel do this. They did this with virtualization with the extensions that they did. They're doing it with containers, you know, Intel gets involved in these software pieces and make sure that the chipset's going to be optimized and, you know, great to see them working with Google on it. Well, my guess is they're going to be using a lot of cycles for these security things also, right? Security is really hard, it's front and center, you know, in our lives these days and just everything.  You know, the whole thing about DLP, it's extremely compute heavy to do this stuff. Okay, let's get the biggest, fastest technology we can to make it work and then, you know, maybe it can all seem seamless. I'm really impressed with how they've figured out to take the assets that they have in different places. Like from YouTube, you know, these other things that you would think, is YouTube really an enterprise app? No, but there's technology in YouTube that you can use for, you know, enterprise cloud services. Very smart, I give them a lot of credit for looking, you know, broadly throughout their organization which, in a lot of respects, you know, traditionally has been a consumer oriented, you know, experience and they're taking some of these technologies now and making it available to enterprise. It's really, really hot.   You know, I'm curious what your take is as to, you know, how Google stacks up against Microsoft who disclaimer, you did work for at one time, you know, on the infrastructure side. Yeah, you know, that's a whole interesting thing. You know, Google really wants to try to figure out how to get enterprises that run on Microsoft technology, you know, moving to Google Cloud. And I think it's going to be very tough for them. You know, Satya Nadella and Microsoft are very serious about making a seamless experience for end users and administrators and everybody along, you know, managing the systems and using their systems. Okay, can Google replicate that? Maybe on the user side they can, but certainly not on the administration side. And, you know, there are hooks between the land-based technology and the cloud-based technology that Microsoft's been working on for years. Question is, can Google come close to replicating those kinds of things? And on Microsoft's side, do they get enough, do customers get enough values? Are there enough magic there to make that automation of the hybrid IT experience, you know, valuable to their customers? And I just have to think, though, that there's no way Google's going to be able to beat Microsoft at hybrid IT for Microsoft apps. Just, I just don't believe it. Yeah, it's interesting. I think one of the, you know, not-so-secret weapons that Google has there is what they're doing with Kubernetes. So, you know, they've gotten Kubernetes in all the public clouds. It's getting into a lot of on-premises environment. You know, everything from we were at the KubeCon conference in Seattle a couple of months ago. I hear DockerCon and OpenStack Summit are going to have, you know, strong Kubernetes, you know, discussions there. And it's growing. It's got a lot of buzz.  But that being said, if I can write applications and have, you know, ways to be able to, you know, do similar things across multiple environments, you know, that gives Google a way to spread their wings beyond what they can do in their Google Cloud.  Yeah, I think within the Google Cloud, they'll be able to leverage that technology pretty effectively. I don't think it's going to be very effective, though, in enterprise data centers. I think, you know, all the open stack stuff has been a really hard road and it's a long time coming. We don't know if it'll ever get there. So then you've got a company like Microsoft that is working really hard on the same thing. We don't, it's not clear to me what Microsoft's orchestrator is going to be, right? But they're going to have one, right? Are you bullish of, unlike Azure Stack that's coming out later this year? No, not really, yeah. I think Azure Stack's a step in the right direction and Microsoft absolutely has to have it, not so much for Google, but for AWS to compete with AWS. And I think it's a good idea, but it's such a constrained system at this point, right? I mean, it's going to take a while to see what it is you're going to have, you know, HPE and Lenovo and Cisco, you know, all have in Dell, all having the same basic thing, right? And so you ask yourself, what is the motivation for any of these companies to really knock it out of the park when Microsoft is nailing everybody's feet to the floor on what the options are to offer this? And, you know, I understand Microsoft wanted to play it safe and saying, we want to be able to support this thing, make sure that when customers install it, they don't have problems with it. And, you know, Microsoft always wants to voice the support burden onto somebody else anyway. We've all been working for Microsoft the whole lives, right? If the old Dilbert cartoon, as soon as you open that software, you're all of a sudden, you know, Microsoft's pool boy. You know? I love that, yeah. So, you know, Azure Stack's going to be pretty constrained and they keep pushing it further out. And so like, so what's the reality of this, right? You know, and Azure Pack right now is a zombie. Everybody's waiting for Azure Stack, but Azure Stack keeps moving out and Azure Stack's going to be small and constrained. So, you know, this stuff is hard. There's a reason why it's taking everybody a long time to get it out. There's a reason why Open Stack hasn't had the adoption that people first expected. There's going to be a reason why I think Azure Stack does not have the adoption that Microsoft hoped for either, right? And it's going to be an interesting thing to watch over what, you know, play out over the next five or six years.  Remember, you know, the original, you know, precursor to Vblock with Acadia and the go-to-market. VMware, when they did the V-SAN stuff, you know, the generation one of Evo really went nowhere and they had to go.  And even though Azure Stack's been coming for a while, how would I say, TP3 is like, you know, here and we're talking about it and it's going to, you know, GA this summer, but it's once we really start getting this customer environment, people start selling it that, you know, we're going to find out, you know, what it is and what it isn't. Well, I mean, it's interesting, right? You know how important that technology is to Microsoft. And it's, in many respects, Satya's baby, right? And it's so important to them. And at the same time, you know, it's not there, it's not coming, you know, it's going to be constrained. It's like, whew. Yeah, so Mark, you know, unfortunately, you and I could talk all day about stuff like this and we've had many times, you know, at conferences that will spend a long time. I want to give you just the final word, you know, just wrap up, you know, the intro for today on what's happening at Google Next and what's interesting you in the industry. Well, I think the big thing here is that Google, Google is showing that they put their foot down and they're not letting up, right? It is, they're serious about this business, they made this commitment. And, you know, we sort of talk and we give lip service a little bit to the big three. Well, we've got Azure, we've got Amazon and then there's Google, right? I think every year at Google does more and they're proving themselves as a more capable cloud service provider. You know, they're showing the integration with HANA is really interesting, right?   It's not going to be two plus one, you know? And that is going to accelerate more of the movement into cloud faster than ever because the options that Google is offering are different than the others. These are all different clouds with different strengths. And of the three of them, Google, I have to say, has the most, if you will, computer science behind it, right? It's not that Microsoft doesn't have it, but Google is going to have a lot more capability in machine learning than I think what you're going to see out of Amazon ever, right? They're just going to take off and run with that. And Microsoft is going to have to figure out how they're going to try to catch up or how they're going to parlay what they have in machine learning. It's not that they haven't made investment in it, but it's not like Google has made investment in it. Google's been making investment in it over the years to support their consumer applications on Google, right? And now that stuff is coming, like I said before, the stuff is coming into the enterprise, I think there is a shift now. And, you know, we sort of wonder, is machine learning going to happen when it's going to happen? It's going to happen. And it's going to come from Google. All right, well, great way to end the opening segment here. Thank you so much, Mark Farley, for joining us. We've got a full day of coverage here from our 4,500 square foot studio in the heart of Silicon Valley. You're watching theCUBE.


Pursuant to chapter 20 of the acts of 2021, this meeting will be conducted by remote means. Members of the public who wish to access the meeting may do so in the following manner by emailing Steve McCarthy at McCarthy S at emmerstma.gov. That's M-C-C-A-R-T-H-Y-S at emmerstma.gov. No in-person attendance of members of the public will be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the public can adequately access proceedings in real-time by technological means. In the event that we are unable to do so for reasons of economic hardship and despite best efforts, we will post on the town website an audio or video recording transcript or other comprehensive record proceedings as soon as possible after the meeting. And with that done, we'll do a roll call done. Here. Hallie. Here. Gaston. Here. I'm here. There's four here with one absent and we're called to order at 5.02 PM. All right, the next thing is public comment. Is there anyone here for public comment? General public comment. Not unrelated to anything on the agenda. If so, please raise your hand by pressing the hand button. And I don't see anyone here for public comment. Okay, so next on the agenda is the short-term liquor license applications, Aaron Jolly, Amherst Chamber of Commerce, Wine and Malt, Eric Carl Museum, December 14th, from five to seven. And is Mr. Jolly here? Oh, there is. And Claudia has money. Has money? Yes. Thank you. Welcome. So this event is the Chamber of Commerce holiday party. Yes, it's our annual event. Can you hear me? Just to make sure. I'm on headphones, sorry. Yes, it's our annual holiday party. We're holding it at the Eric Carl, it's their 20th anniversary. We've asked Aaron to join us through Savannah's to promote bringing food and drink. And we have pianists and it's going to be a holiday networking bingo and pretty typical networking event celebrating their 20th anniversary. And we've worked many times with Aaron and now in his capacity at Savannah's. So we're looking forward to it. Great, thank you. Yes, Gaston. Hi, thank you. I guess two questions. One is you wrote for whether it's a cash bar, tickets, other. So I wonder if you could explain that the drink tickets a slash other, what that means. And then also, well, actually, I mean, exactly. Could you please explain that? So we're going to be doing beer and wine at this event only. And I've spoken with Claudia since I applied for it and we're going to be giving out drink tickets to per person for that two hour timeframe. Okay. The reason I ask is because the fact that your event is open to the public means that it can't be an open bar. If it were a closed guest list, then you can have an open bar since it's a public event, it can't be an open bar. And so I guess that leads me to wonder how you make sure that it's only two tickets per person. I guess, to be honest, I guess I would only be taking a drink ticket from someone. We're certainly not handling cash. I planned, I'm obviously served-saved. I was going to bring a bartender that served-safe and I was going to bring another person with me to kind of work with the bartender to kind of assist whether it be stalking, running to the car, loading stuff and bringing stuff in. Traditionally, when I've done these events over at the last one I did when I was still at the pub over at the Amherst Works, it kind of was an event that I always joke with Claudia. It's almost over before it started and I've never really seen it taken advantage of or never really witnessed any individual. I'm going to be providing single-color red tickets like raffle style tickets to those folks and to make it as we have one registration table, everyone will go through that table. You can see on that layout and everything's going to be pretty smooth, pretty easy to manage. Okay, very good. Thank you. Thanks. Did you have another question, Gaston, or is that? Well, the other question was whether it was a closed guest list, but I saw that it's a public event and so that's what I wanted to pin that down. Okay, great. Any other questions or comments about the short-term license? No, if not, is there a motion to approve SST-22-76? Thank you, Doug, is there a second? Second. Thank you, Hallie. Is any further discussion? If not, we'll take a vote. Doug? Hi. Gaston? Hi. Hallie? Hi. And I vote aye. That is four to zero with one absent. The short-term license has been approved. Thank you so much for coming in and I hope your event goes well. Thank you. Thank you all. Thanks. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Okay, so next up is liquor license, change of hours application. Emerson Company doing business in on Bultwood and Ms. Calles, which is Garcia's Mexican restaurant and bar. So they don't, yes, Doug? I was just gonna say given that both of them are asking for a similar kind of change, I wanted to ask Steve if there was something about that that has prompted this, either some impending legislation that's coming out or something that's motivated both of these businesses to make a pretty significant change in their hours. So just before the actual individual licenses, I was kind of hoping Steve might comment. No, I believe these are independent applications with no connection. There hasn't been any changes in the regulatory scheme. I think it's just a coincidence that we're getting both of these the same meeting. Okay. And so we do get inquiries like this sometimes a lot with license renewal and it can't be done with license renewal, but it opens the conversation to submitting an application. Okay. And then we just got a little, they each submitted a little letter Steve and that's sufficient for an application for change. Yeah. The application materials are surprisingly sparse for ABC applications. All right. Just curious. If I could ask one more question along the lines of Doug's to kind of clarify the rules before we start here. What is striking is the, how many hours both establishments are looking to be open. And I guess what is the, our exact policy about how many of the hours that you're licensed to serve, you have to be serving and open. So I believe the official, there's a little bit of a lack of clarity with that. I believe the official ABCC guidance is that they are supposed to be open for the entire time they're licensed. However, in the normal practice of things there's often some flexibility especially in a seasonal community like this. I think that's taking that ABCC guidance I think that's really incumbent on the board to try to set a line there. Thank you, that's helpful. All right, thank you. Yes, Doug. Actually, so since we're getting the mechanics out of the way early, and this relates to only one of the two licenses I noticed it on the interval that the starting time was 8 a.m. on Monday through Saturday. Is that, I just don't recall our earliest start time for alcohol service. I know that on Sundays we adopted this sort of brunch, for lack of a term, hours that allowed for earlier opening on Sunday which is around that 10 a.m. time. I was just, I was struck by the 8 a.m. and it's not to say that it can't or shouldn't. I just, it struck me and so I was wanting to check with Steve about the particulars. 8 a.m. is the earliest statewide allowed time to start alcohol service. I believe we have other licensees that also have that but I can't remember off the top of my head. I just want to confirm it was, it was not like in violation of our own sort of local zoning or regulation. I didn't recall that we had any specific to that. I know we do on Sundays, but just want to make sure. No, I think on every day the board allows and has issued the maximum times allowable by state law which is 8 a.m. on 8 a.m. starting on weekdays and 10 a.m. on Sundays and 2 a.m. on for being open at night. Although zoning regulations generally don't allow or at least any zoning permit issued generally doesn't allow to be open until 2 a.m. We do have one licensee it's open till 2 a.m. but that's on Amherst College's property. So that's exempt from zoning. Thank you. Thanks, Steve. So are we going to do this one at a time? Do you want to bring us on Mr. Mandela was approved to? I guess we'll go on over here. So I have Kimbra. All right, so her man, hello, Deborah. Hi. Welcome and so you're from the inner Faultwood. Yes. Okay.  Yeah, I really took that from our previous license. So we modified our hours obviously with COVID. And so I just kind of wanted to bring them back. Our primary motivation is to be able to start at 10 a.m. on Sundays. That's really the primary reason for asking for the switch. Okay. All right, thank you. Any further? Hey, Dylan. We're doing the in at Faultwood hours change right now. So any questions about this one? Any other concerns? No. If there are no other concerns, is there a motion to approve the change of hours for the in at Faultwood? What's the official name? Don't move. Okay. Thank you, Doug. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Hallie. Any further discussion? If there is none, we'll take a vote. Doug. Hi. Hallie. Hi. Gaston. Hi. Dylan. Hi. And I vote aye. That is five to zero. The change of hours has been approved. Thank you so much for coming in. Great. Thank you. Yeah. And best of luck with the new hours. Thank you very much. All right. So the next one is Garcia's. Hello, Mr. Mandiola. Hello there, guys. How are you? All right. Good. How are you? Thank you for your application. Does anyone here have any questions about the change of hours for Garcia's? Oh, Doug, did you have something? I think the main thing is just sort of, you know, what was a sort of motivated factor for you for making the change, make the request? Sure. So we started Garcia's in November 8th and when the students are in, we like to stay open sometimes a little late and when the students are gone, we obviously, this are found in hours sometimes with clientele. So we want to make sure we kind of emphasize open hours when we have the clientele here. So now we're trying to go into the nightclub scene with the hours and stay up a little late. Safely, of course, we don't want anything to happen to anyone, but we want to make sure that we have the hours available so that way when we have somebody say some corporation that wants to do a social and now we have speakers, a DJ, and they want to rent the place. We want to have the hours backing up the business so we can create that extra revenue when the students are not in or whenever we need to book one of those special events. So basically it's just to kind of comply with the ABCC's necessity for liquor licensing. Okay, thank you, Doug. It's one other one, and I probably should ask this of the previous one, but I'll ask this one. Are you gonna keep your kitchen open the whole number of hours to go with the change? I mean, obviously if it's a special event, that's a little different circumstance, but I mean, if you're having like extending hours with, you know, when the students are in town, that kind of thing, are you playing on keeping your kitchen open that late or how are you trying to meet the need to kind of give some sustenance that kind of pairs with the alcohol? That's a great question. So one of the things we spoke to Steven about the kitchen and the necessity of being open that late at night, we need to provide something to eat for the guests that are in the establishment. Although some of the businesses and numbers don't do it right now, we need to provide a menu available for guests. So we will have a kitchen staff member or a couple of members in the kitchen to provide a menu available for guests. So they will be able to order any food throughout the time, which is gonna be from like nine to one a.m. So there will always be food available for people that wanna get something to order from nine to close on those evenings. So we'll definitely have food for them. Great, thank you. That's good to hear. Absolutely. Yeah, thank you very much. Are there any other questions or comments? Yes. Yeah, I've got a two-part question. First, sorry, what were your hours still currently? It's still 11 or was it till midnight? No, so the hours right now were 11 to midnight. But what happens is if you are 11 to midnight and you want to have say like a nightclub hours and we wanna start at nine, if we finish at midnight, it's gonna be only a couple of hours because we're really gonna, like at nine p.m. we will close the restaurant when the new hours kick in. So I will open the club at 10. So if we had the same hours, we would only open from 10 to midnight versus 10 to one to give those folks a little bit of a space and a time to relax and enjoy music and dance. Okay, but it is currently till midnight, right? That's the current hours. Right now it is, yeah, right now it is. Have you guys given it a shot? Just how's it been? Have you been able to do till midnight a couple of times? Have you had any success? We started the first year, meaning last year, we started close on that midnight and we were getting some business and for some reason or another, the crowd from last year was able to go out more at night and drink and have dinner late at night. This class, maybe I should call it a class, this class is a little more conservative and they don't go out that late for dinner or drinks. So we started closing earlier this year. So we want to keep the hours more conservative because in reality, nothing good happens after like 10, 30, 11 p.m. special on the weekend because nobody is looking for a place to have dinner. So we're thinking maybe on 30 hours to like 9 p.m. and then open the nightclub scene which people will be more open to come out and hang out and relax versus a place to have dinner and hang out late at night. Great, thank you. Does that answer your question, Bill? I think so. I mean, my only question is just have you guys been trying it all to cater to the nightclub scene yet and just doing till the midnight? And if you have, just how has it been going? Has it been successful? And we're just looking to extend that now for one or we're just jumping into this totally going in and just saying, we're gonna try it now going from nine to one. Have we tried it all before and we're looking to go to one or are we totally new ones? I don't know if I understand your question correctly. So we haven't dug into the nightclub scene yet. It's gonna be the first time. So we have just been at restaurant but we have invested into putting speakers and lighting and open up the space and getting a security personal so people don't get too drunk and getting people that know what they're doing at the front door to make sure we check all the IDs. So when we run the nightclub scene it's gonna be only 29 and older, nobody else. If you guys didn't check in, I don't care who is your relative and admirers you're not coming in, period. So we wanna make sure that we run a responsible establishment but we have not tried staying late open for a club. So we invested into the sound system, the lighting system. We have a DJ in place. We have a security personal coming in. We have been in talks with the town, with the officials to make sure that we fill out all the paperwork, to make sure that we're in compliance to be a nightclub scene kind of like we're a restaurant or we wanna be a nightclub anyway. So we wanna make sure that we're as safe as possible but we have not tested those waters yet. So now we invested all this money so we want to go in and see we can create more revenue safely with the folks in Amherst obviously the students but also when they go on break we wanna be able to bring some bands, local bands not many people who are like 30 and older not people who are younger. So we wanna be able to have those hours backing us out but that's why we wanna go into the later hours of the night which is like one a.m. Oh yeah, that answers my question. And yeah, I mean, I know we're not at the vote yet but I'm excited to see this. I don't think I'll ever see this nearly as much as I'd like to but it will be. Thank you so much. All right, great. Thank you. Any further questions? If not, is there a motion to approve the change of hours for Garcia's? I would just suggest there's also a, excuse me there's also a zoning application in conjunction with this. Now just suggest that the motion be approved in compliance or to operate in compliance with the zoning approval as well. Okay. We continue upon that approval, right? So did you, okay. So does that just include that in your motion, Doug? Yes, please. Okay. So include that in Doug's motion. Is there a second to Doug's motion? I'll second. Thank you, Dylan. Any further discussion? If there is none, we'll take a vote. Dylan. I vote aye. Hallie. Aye. Best on. Aye. Doug. Aye. And I vote aye. That is five to zero. The change of hours is approved. Thank you so much for coming in, Mr. Mendiela and best of luck with that. It sounds really exciting. Thank you folks. Have a great weekend, okay? You too. Bye-bye. Okay, bye. Okay. So great. So just to, before we start, did he say that there are businesses that are not in a like an offhand comment, not doing it following the snap? Well, did you touch that? I thought that I wasn't, I wasn't about to dig down on that one. I know, I can't think of a bar that doesn't offer food in some capacity that we've asked for. No bars have a menu that I'm aware of, but they all have pretzels or popcorn. Okay. Maybe that's what he meant. That's available. We're gonna offer a menu. Okay. Anyway, so discussion items moving on to, so first one is rental registration, which we have a little time on. So Gaston, were you? Yeah. I think we put that on for the next meeting. Okay. That's what I, the note I made last time. So Holly and I are gonna catch up next week. All right. Super. Okay. Yeah. All right. On the previous issue, I mean, maybe we need to organize a dragnet and try to get munchies at all the bars. I know. Yeah, I was saying we should get those jackets with blue with the big yellow BLC on the back. We can get badges too. Just so we can see. The same, badges and guns. Let's go. Board of License Commissioners, where are your snacks? That says snack inspector. Right. Okay. So we'll put that on. Holly will meet in the next week or so. And then we'll talk about that on the 15th. Start talking about, okay, great. Thank you. Next up is, ooh, annual report. Okay. So the town meeting is coming up, town annual meeting is coming up. And we do an annual report and I have a couple of drafts of previous annual reports which I'll just fill in new information. I hope to have a draft for you today, but I didn't. So it's actually due on the 15th. And I couldn't remember. I was just wondering if you could, I know we did lunch cart regulations this year. What else did we do in the past year? Does anyone? Did we do? Did we do? Well, we did alcohol registrations regulations. Oh, alcohol regulations. That's right. Oh, okay. There's sort of ongoing work relative to, like, you know, don't use marijuana. I think the rental registration, you can say those are projects that are, you know, complex and still in process, I think. And so, you know. So ongoing work, rental ride. I mean, we ended the oppression of vending machines. Oh, vending machines. Yeah, the coin operated amusements, wasn't it? Officially? Yeah. Coin operated. All right. Amusement devices or whatever it was. Okay, vending machines, ongoing operations registration, but don't use marijuana. We look forward to live entertainment and flammable liquids. Is that right? Oh, it's exactly like that.  That's what that flammable liquid licenses. So we can have that in 2023. Okay. Is that, that sounds like enough stuff. They, they emphasized very, very short. So I'll put a draft of this together. I'll send it to Steve. He can send it around to everybody and that will be done. And if you think of anything else, you can let Steve or me know. Steve, can you think of anything else? I'll have to top my head. I think that's pretty exhaustive. If I can give some, some figures about approvals and. Oh yeah, yeah. That's right. We need the numbers on that. Okay. Super. All right. Wonderful. Great. Well, that takes care of that one. Next is liquor license renewals. Steve, how's it going? Yeah. So I thought I would just give you all an update on how it's going. And it has been interesting. We did have a couple of licensees that did not renew. One of them is the university club. Yeah. Up on, up on the university. Obviously, I don't think that ever really opened after COVID. And when I sent around some inquiries, I guess the vice chancellor of administration and finance is set on eliminating it. And there is some controversy among the faculty, but that is the way they're going. So the liquor license is not being renewed. Oh, that's too bad. Okay. All right. And much more relevantly for the board, university liquors did not renew their license either. So they had closed and lost control of their premises sometime around August, maybe. And I was working up until the last minute with the owner to attempt either a sale transaction or to change the location was the last direction they were going in. And due to various issues, it wasn't going to be a simple application by any means. And ultimately, he decided that it was not worth pursuing. So now the board has an interesting situation on its hands, which is rare in any community, but especially in Amherst, we're only gonna have one license type at quota where there is an in-demand license type that is just available and hasn't been sold. And usually businesses will try to sell them if at all possible because they can get a significant amount of revenue and the owner of this store did not. But we did just see one of these licenses go for, I think, 130,000 in the last transaction provisions. So there's quite a bit of demand. So this is not something we've done before, but I think there's definitely interest in everybody to be fair with everything. So I did some inquiry with council. My first thought was that an auction might be a good way to go to get some revenue for town projects or something. I had read articles in the Gazette about auctions that happen in other towns, but I guess that is just the state that does that if the department of revenue ceases the license for non-payment of taxes, then in that case they can auction it off, but it wouldn't be proper for a town to do so. So that's out. So you're left with either a kind of a first come, first serve solution, which I think would be very impractical because then you're going to be having people, camping outside of town hall at 2 a.m. Like it's a Harry Potter premiere and trying to elbow everybody out of the way to get the first one to the counter. And then what happens if that one has an error or something? So I think there's some big problems with that, although it would be lawful. And then the other option is to pick between them somehow. So it could be based on merit, what the board thinks the best proposal is. It could be based on a lottery maybe. I haven't proposed that specific idea to council, but I think that would be doable. So I think it's an interesting question. And yeah, so that's something to think about. Very interesting. Doug. Couple of things. I think that some of the other circumstances where a license might go to auction is if it's been used as collateral and instead of like a nonpayment of taxes, if someone was in a circumstance where a bank sees their property or something like that, those can be auctioned much like a property can be. But the interesting thing about a lottery, I can tell you is that it does because that is effectively a form of gambling. There's a lot of restrictions on it and there's a lot of permissions you gotta get to get that as an option. I'm not saying that's not a bad option. I just think there's some hoops that would have to be jumped that does allow for some fairness if you're doing it properly to have it be a lottery. But I think that the idea of a merit-based application process for a sort of license, because I don't think we can just suddenly say, oh, it's, I mean, I guess we could, but the license has a fixed dollar value now. We renew them for $1,500 or $3,000 or whatever. We can't suddenly say, oh, it's $100,000 for this. On the other hand, I do think we can certainly, I think I would be interested in the idea of sort of defining some metrics of which we would have applicants try to meet. One of the things with like the marijuana is that the idea of trying to promote minority businesses and that sort of thing was supposed to be part of that. It's, I think, admitting success. But again, that could be a thing if we decided, that was a criteria we thought was of high value to us, diversity of ownership or something like that. But anyway, just some interesting options to us who are for us to consider. Thanks, Doug. Hallie. I was gonna ask Steve if any known businesses have expressed interest in it because I would definitely wait, give some preference to a local business that's successfully running. I'm not, like I was thinking like an Atkins or someplace that sells beer and wine, but not hard alcohol. I was just trying to think like somebody who's successful and has been a part of the community is wondering like if anybody has expressed interest in that. Yeah, there's been a lot of interest in this. One person has been an existing licensee of this same type who wants to open a second location. Gaston. I think you're muted, Gaston. Yep, I need a review of the procedure if you don't mind, Steve. So they're not renewing the license so that license disappears unless they sell it before what happens. So this was a pretty complicated case. You know, I think we did mention this before at a meeting where the Board would have been in this right to immediately revoke the license, I believe, because even though a pocket license, the case lies that it has to get six months to kind of cure itself before the Board can act. If the licensee just loses control of the premises, then I believe the case lies not quite as black and white but supports that the Board could just immediately revoke it. And I think the Board kind of, I think this is just a, maybe even a topic's not reasonably anticipated, but I think the Board kind of said, you know, we'll leave it to renewal to sort out. And so we did set a deadline so the license wouldn't be eligible to renew if the licensee didn't have control of the premises. And so we set out a deadline to him to have a fully completed application for either a sale or a change of location by the renewal period. And he was working with an attorney right up until Tuesday to try to do that. The deadline was yesterday for all the renewals. And ultimately, you know, I think he, it was kind of left to the last minute to an extent, but I think he kind of considered the work it would take and consider his circumstances and ultimately decided to let it go. So it's a very unusual situation where a license which has so much demand and value just becomes available to just back on the town's roster. So Steve, this is sort of like what happened with High Horse and Lit except with a different kind of license, is that right? There's some similarities, but the biggest concern in that case, we did have all alcohol on-premises licenses available on quota, those particular locations were already occupied by a licensee. So nobody could apply in those locations without the previous licensee being not there. In this case, it's just a quota slot opening up unexpectedly in a high demand. And this is the only license type we're at quota for. Okay, right. So, oh, sorry. No, go ahead. Steve, is it your understanding that we're within our rights to extend this period of time and have this past or quasi-licensee come before us? The requirement is that the renewal, there's a, it's actually explicit in state law, which strikes me as strange, but that the renewal application must be signed within the month of November. And he did present an incomplete renewal application to me that for reasons I won't go into could not be accepted, but we had set a requirement to him, and I was consulting with counsel along with this, but that we set a requirement that he had to have a complete application or wouldn't be eligible for renewal. And he made the decision yesterday to just to not seek renewal ultimately. I mean, I feel like where we don't really have all the facts to make good judgments here. I mean, I can try. I can go into more detail if you'd like. I'm trying to be mindful of his privacy, but I mean. Yeah, why don't you, can we just? Well, I mean, I guess it's, I mean, I moved to wanna avoid any licensees kind of economic waste, but people can make choices that kind of make that feeling go away. And I don't have enough facts to kind of end up on in that space where it's like, okay, too bad so sad as my property law professor used to say. Well, I guess I will say what the biggest barrier was that the licensee had moved across the country after his business closed and didn't really address the license in a timely fashion. And to either sell the license to somebody or to, and so one of the requirements for the section 15 licenses is that a majority of the directors of the corporation have to be Massachusetts residents, which he no longer was. And if so to sort of be in compliance with that, he'd have to file a change of director's application and both the change of director's application and the change of in the sale application require a Department of Revenue and Department of Unemployment Assistance Certificate of Good Standing. And my understanding is he was not able to produce those. And did he admit that he didn't have Massachusetts domicile or did someone else re-second please? He did, yeah, he did tell me that on a couple of occasions. Okay. His lawyer and he were exploring options of re-establishing residency in Massachusetts. Well, I'm kind of an expert. I mean, I'm a little bit of an expert on this domicile because I was on the team hired by the Democratic Party to try to get Romney off the ballot his first time because he spent the Olympics in Nevada and paid taxes there. But he was trying to claim that he met the Massachusetts domicile requirement of six years, I think, or seven years. I thought it was iffy, but what was clear is that it's a very, it's a very fact intensive inquiry. There's not one thing that's a litmus test for residency. It's, you look at a whole bunch of things and go from there. But if he himself is admitting that he lost his Massachusetts domicile, then I guess that settles that. Yeah, it is an interesting question. And we were definitely kind of looking at things like that. He was represented by counsel and his counsel seemed to agree with that. And he did sell his house in Massachusetts and bought one in North Carolina. Okay. And so they were exploring options of getting a apartment up here. But I think ultimately there was a path, but he chose not to. Okay, and just to finalize that, my question about the process. So basically our question is how do we handle the open application for this license? Yeah, I think that's a question the board should discuss. And as we go down this conversation, I'm thinking maybe it would be worthwhile inviting Brian Riley to our next meeting to kind of hash that out together. Because I mean, I guess I think technically the board could just never say anything and then it just becomes available on January 1st. And then whatever insiders know about that can take advantage of that. But I think in the interest of fairness, we'd want to post it publicly maybe and give an opportunity to anybody who's interested to apply. And it could be first come, first serve though as well. And I think it's really up to the board to kind of determine. Yeah, done. Yeah, I think that we're, I think there's a couple of things to think about. One is, this is a kind of an opportunity for us to leverage this to the town's benefit. That's one thing. But I also think it's, and then you can think of that benefit in a number of different ways, whether it be by encouraging a particular existing, good standing member of the community to own it or who's going to pay us the most cash kind of thing. So any and all of those could be factors there. But I think the other thing is that that question of fairness about is a really tricky one. Because if we just want the first come, first serve, I think you're right, Steve, that the front door of town hall on January 2nd or whatever it's going to be, could be a very dicey circumstance. And I think that that's unfortunate. I mean, we need to bring some sanity and fairness to that. So I think we want to get our heads around what our options are and make those known. So those that are interested or may be interested as they've become aware of this availability is, you know, that's kind of a rational way to approach this. Gaston and then Dylan. Okay, I mean, just, I think this has to be kind of a big, in big letters for our next meetings is to get people to come and give us their opinions. And I guess my first feeling right here is that we could develop a rubric for evaluating applications and publish that so people know what is important to us. Okay, thank you Gaston. Dylan? Yeah, I mean, I guess I'd like to have council in here to know kind of what is legal and why I don't want to leave ourselves open to it because we're not doing a lottery system. And we get say, you know, 10 applications that meet all the criteria that we set forward. What is the method of choosing in a way that isn't gonna, I think, leave us open to any sort of lawsuits or anything like that. Or even just in a way that, you know, forgetting lawsuits just in a way that I think that is transparent and fair and not just, that isn't just the opinions of the five of us gets to decide who gets to have a lucrative business in Amherst. I like the idea of a lottery for that reason. I don't mind, if right now my current position if we could do it, I don't know, maybe you guys have other ideas but this is just me firing from the hip here. I'd like to do something that we set forward a rubric people apply to us and that application process is to see whether or not you can get into the lottery would be if I were to do it at this moment that's something I'd like to do. I don't know if you guys have better methods and then if that method even is one that that's workable. Gaston. Well, I mean, I think for the reasons that Steve said if we could do an auction that has a lot to recommend for it because at least we're, you know, bringing dollars into the town. So I'm also wondering if we can kind of simulate an auction in a way by let's say, starting the January 1st price for the license is $300,000. The January 8th price is $250,000. Can we just kind of keep bringing the price down so we have a buyer in consecutive rounds? Basically like a reverse auction. Start from the high bid down. Yeah. Is that something I'll have to talk about? Because yeah, it doesn't mean, I mean, why should, it doesn't make sense for the person who opens a liquor store to pocket this windfall. The town should get the windfall if given the owner of the license basically abandoned it. It should, that goodwill should go to the town not to the next owner of that license in my view. Okay. Hallie, did you have your hand? Yeah. Okay, done. So we're agreed, we're gonna invite Brian Reilly to the next meeting to talk about this and see what our options are and go from there. Okay. Well, that's good. Anything else on liquor license renewals, Steve? No, besides that, it's been going quite smoothly. Okay. And then when will we be, when will these come before us? Is it next meeting or? Yeah, I'm planning to try to get as many of them on the agenda for next meeting as possible. We have some that are ready to go. Unfortunately, my agenda posting day was filled with helping everybody doing their last minute renewals. So I didn't get a chance to put them all in there, but I probably better to get them all in one block anyway. Okay, great. So if no one has any other questions about the liquor license renewals, we have next item is agenda. So a肯定 meeting agenda will have rental renewal, rental registration, sorry. Lots of renewal licenses to vote on renewing. And then Brian Reilly, we hope, right? To talk about this new license, currently available, newly available license. Is there anything else that we wanted to put on there? Maybe if we want to just look at our schedule, are we still planning on doing the 15th and the 29th? I think so. I think we usually keep, I definitely the 15th. And I think we're not absolutely tied to the 29th, but I think we like to keep it open in case there are some late comers or like anything that hasn't made, we haven't approved on the 15th. We'll keep the 29th open. Does that sound good to everybody? Okay. I have my second replacement on the 27th. So I won't. Oh my gosh. Okay. But that's okay. Okay. So you won't, you might not be here. Okay. Perhaps we can ask ourselves at the next meeting if what the best time would be if we think we need to have it. Maybe we could do it like knock it out in the morning or something. Okay. I don't know. I mean, it's hard to predict for me. All right. So we'll discuss the 29th at the 15th. And it's generally, it's generally good to have a meeting kind of right near the end of December because well, the actual liquor license renewal form must be signed in the month of November. I'm a bit more flexible with things like insurance certifications and things like that. So, you know, as long as we set a date certain I can send a message out to everybody with outstanding obligations that if you don't get this into me by this time, then your license, you know, you won't have a license for a couple of days in January until we meet again. Okay. So why don't we just say the 29th then, if that's all right and we'll try to keep it just no discussion, not planned for any discussion items. Yeah. Just the last renewals. Just the last renewals. And I'll try to get everything that's ready to go on to the 15th and we will just have the stragglers. Okay. Does that sound good to everybody? Okay. All right. Anything, oh, topics not anticipated. 48 hours prior to the meeting. Wasn't anyone having it done? I just had a question we got. I think you forwarded to us the action of the ABCC relatively. Yeah, the sting operation. So I was curious if you had any more information regarding that relative to additional findings, did they appeal, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm just curious as to where that sits at the moment. No, that was a disposition I think. So I think they do have a eight or nine day suspension to be served in January. So I was never aware of any of this until I got the notice from the ABCC that the violation had occurred and the violation report. And I think it was actually a couple of years ago, but because of COVID it kind of got delayed. But yeah, it was certainly an interesting one. I had no idea they went to those kind of links. Yeah, me neither. Just to follow up. I mean, this is a little disconcerting because it's a business that we've actually locally done a similar action on. Conversations about scorpion balls, if you go back to that. I remember that. Before Porta, we heard this. And so that's the other thing that's a little bit, concerning to me is just sort of the second action there at the same location. Although you're saying, Steve, and I didn't notice this, that's my fault, but you said it was the actual sort of violation that they identified was quite a while ago. If I'm remembering correctly, I think it was, because I've never seen the violation report some time ago. Yeah. I can try to pull it up and see when it was. I think it's December 21. Oh, well, that was the hearing, sorry. February 2020. Right before the pandemic. I mean, yeah. Now, was the only thing to come out of this was an eight day suspension of the license? I don't know if they would include any criminal charges in that, but I also have no reason to think there was necessarily. So that's, this is all I'm aware of. Right, done. Can we offer a suggestion about when those days are? Because, you know, as is the case with summer and embers, the January, you know, second to January, like 20th is a pretty. It's dead time. And the kind of the sting of the, of the force of the penalty is not as great when you do, we have a period of time that's not as busy. So I don't know if we can offer a suggestion for the ABCC about the dates, but we may want to, because it's again, it's not the first violation for that business. That's the other reason why I sort of bring this up. And it's not to say we change anything or not. I'm just, the broader conversation, just to touch on it. Yeah, pulling this up now, it looks like it's for seven days from January 9th to January 15th. It is the ABCC's case and they've already issued when it's gonna be. I mean, I suppose the board can always write a letter, but I don't know if there is any, I don't know if they really, certainly I don't think they ever really consult the L.A. on dates. Yeah, we're just such a seasonal town. It's, it's. Yeah. We can at least have more, more bite than others in Amherst, but. Yes. I guess there's also offer for a compromise in lieu of suspension. What would that be? What do you mean? I believe they can pay a fee in lieu. Oh, okay. $100,000. There is actually a calculation here. Yeah, it's not that much. Oh, no. It's actually quite complicated. It's almost, it looks like a 1040, almost involving their annual receipts from alcoholic beverages and invoice costs and days of operation and daily gross alcoholic beverage profit and it needs to be signed off on by an accountant, I guess. But yeah, it's an interesting glimpse. I don't know. Okay. I don't know. Yeah. Is it worth writing a letter to the ABCC to suggest it or do you think they'd be inflexible? I mean, my gut instinct is they probably wouldn't care, but I don't know. We've never, we've never tried so. We have a question from Brian Reilly next time. Not necessarily now, but we can just sort of pose the question. Right, Brian Reilly. This happens, I mean, because we've had a couple of these now, you know, because does our input matter to the ABCC or not?  My God, that's... Well, delivering alcohol, just delivering alcohol is illegal. Regardless of the age of the person by, you know? You know, I sometimes think that we don't have a whole lot of authority here, but then the ABCC, it's like, what more could you want? All right, eight days, you can't sell alcohol to kids anymore. After that, you gotta be a little bit sneakier, guys. Come on. What I'm most curious about is how this started. Was it the customer who asked or the business or offered and also how the police became aware of this? Yeah. Oh, I think the headmaster heard about it from some exit interviews from McDuffie students. And so he tipped off the Granby police and they got in touch with the Amherst police and then they contacted a, what was it? A minor operative, is that what it was called? Oh, I guess, yeah, that is there. I guess it was alcohol and cigarettes. We gotta like send this to some writers. It's really good material. I know, it is really good show. Sort of like one of those, looks like guy's name who did, can't remember it now. Those quirky movies? The Royal 10. Oh, Wes Anderson. Wes Anderson, yeah. Anyway, okay. Well, yes, that's something that's good to talk to Brian Riley about that, Doug, next time. I just think if, you know, I mean, we're happy that ABCC's had the opportunity to come and do this kind of thing and finding things we aren't likely to find and so that's great, but, you know, do they care about our opinion? Right. And it goes stuff that's useful to them or whatever. So just curious. Okay. All right, any other topics not anticipated? 48 hours prior to the meeting. Anything? No? Okay. Is there a motion to adjourn? So moved. Thank you, Doug, because there's a second. Second. Thank you, Dylan. We'll take a vote. Callie. Hi. Doug. Hi. Deston. Hi. Dylan. Hi. And I vote aye, five to zero. We're adjourned at 5.56 PM. Bye, everybody. Thank you. See you next on the 15th. Yes. Thanks, Steve. Thank you, everybody. I'll see you in the 15th. Bye.

Jenedicans started them off today in record fashion in the under 20 girls long jump final with a 650 performance the Trinidad and Tobago team getting ready for battle Turks and Kekos they're as well they are in lane number eight Ali Eliasiu leaving off for Turks and Kekos Islands Grenada Turks and Kekos Trinidad and Tobago Jamaica and Bahamas lanes two to six final of the under 17 boys four by four the Bahamas go out well tracked by the Jamaicans Trinidad and Tobago moving well down the back straight away to Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago Bahamas with a big three go through 200 meters together looks like Francisco Williams the 400 hurdles bronze medalist on the opening leg for Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago right there Bahamas right there the Trinbegonian stepping ahead now and taking charge Bahamas also coming through well Trinidad and Tobago just ahead of Bahamas and Jamaica this is good stuff this is close racing Grenada in fourth position they want to remain close for Maslin when he gets the baton but look at this for Grenada they rush through to take the lead looks like Kimmel Murray on this leg for Grenada now in third position Robert Middle the 400 hurdles champion and record holder takes over for Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago in second Bahamas third Grenada now back in fourth place Trinidad and Tobago with Sheslan Gordon stepping up now to take over from Robert Miller and Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago just ahead of the Jamaicans the Jamaicans have the 800 champion Keondry Kelly on this third leg Trinidad and Tobago right there with them remember the Jamaicans have the 400 champion Bramwell on the anchor leg what a fine race we have between Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago the 800 man inches ahead for Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago still fighting Grenada are now in third position and I think Maslin is on anchor Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago what a titanic battle in the on the 17 boys 4x400 now the baton is with the 400 champion and record holder Nikoi Bramwell he has competition early hot on his heels has a look around him sees what's happening behind knows that the Trinidad and Tobago athlete is coming 40 Lewis are there on anchor for Trinidad and Tobago part of the Lewis twins but Bramwell inches away for Jamaica steps on the accelerator does the 400 on the 17 record holder he's making the gold medal save for Jamaica Grenada will have a medal because Maslin is on anchor whether it will be silver or bronze is to be seen Jamaica will win gold outside the record Bramwell shuts down Trinidad and Tobago holds on with Lewis and Maslin runs a storming anchor to confirm bronze for Grenada well that was a marvelous race up until Nikoi Bramwell got the baton great battle between Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica all the way through up until that last 400 not to be denied that man Nikoi Bramwell took over and shut things down for team Jamaica not quite record time for them but a very very fine run by these young men 321 924 Grenada to get the bronze medal they were always going to have a chance if Maslin got the baton close enough and he did and back to back really gold medals for Bramwell a proud nation as part of the team that won this last year and of course packed back gold medals for him as well individually in the 400 another look at the last 150 meters says where Nikoi Bramwell really turned it on for Jamaica Cordy Lewis unable to hang with him for Trinidad and Tobago and the 400 champion and record holder I suspect when the decision is being made about the Austin Sealy Award winner his name will be in the conversation will always be in the conversation when you break a Usain Bolt record and now he jumps across the line to lead his team to four by four glory second year on the 17 athlete defended his 400 title and got the record says he's number one three minutes 18.434 Jamaica 321 24 for Trinidad and Tobago Grenada with a bronze at 321 92 Bahamas 324 62 and Turks and Caicas 329 08 a little bit faster for Jamaica than they ran last year but still shy of that games record


The next thing I knew I was selling to doctors, nutritionists, bodybuilders that are famous, Olympians, fighters, jiu-jitsu artists. The list goes on and on. I really wanted to create a company that had no gimmicks. That was where my passion started, where I felt that I could do something different being an athlete myself and eating at the companies that were provided to me. I would notice that my results would go backwards or my meals weren't always right dialed in and I would start to decline in results. So when I created the company, it was a very big passion of mine to create the real deal.


Hi, good morning, and welcome to today's products and focus. So the Greece issue is Slowly coming to a head with the referendum due on Sunday But the markets looking incredibly resilient considering all the uncertainty about contagion and the impact of the Eurozone should Greece eventually vote no on Sunday But a lot this positive momentum really just pushing The Greek government to into a corner because they can't argue that that the Eurozone will have to come to the rescue No matter what so interestingly most global markets for up above and over in China where the stock markets are again down and Propaganda ministry has been told by the government Certain sources being cited across there in that local region not to publish negative stories about the stock market and only to publish positive stories, but they The Shanghai stock exchange down another 2% again today I think most of the major global indices in China are down about 25% in their peak at the start of June So things still looking pretty dice there and the government are now doing a lot of things to try and prop up those markets And it's still not having desired effects So it's obviously not it's spelling over on to the other European and US Markets, but at some point if that begins to accelerate It's something I would have in the back of my mind anyway if I was looking at these world markets But looking at the US 30 just now we're trading above potential resistance 177 47 Technicles are a bit redundant at this point with all the fundamental issues on there And we do have non-farm payroll today which promises to be an exciting figure because we'd be private payrolls yesterday Far beaten expectations and we've seen cable and euro dollar actually come off a fair bit as the US dollar has been getting a little bit of extra momentum Overnight and this morning looking at the UK 100. We are trading about 65 89 Decent day yesterday, but well off the session highs We initially had a spike higher when it came out that Greece was actually going to accept The bailout conditions with only some small changes and then suddenly the Prime Minister Went on TV and because it know the Eurozone are trying to blackmail Grease and he urged a novel on Sunday's referendum in the markets all of again But recently most global markets taken up again nicely today even with all this uncertainty Spiraling around in the background Looking at Japan 2 to 5 because dollar yen has just shot up like a rocket 1 23 48 That's been quite a positive for Japan 2 to 5 stopped a little bit dead in the track today great session yesterday still lying up 2868 should a global market should we get this Greek referendum out of the way if they vote yes to the bailout Then things will maybe get themselves sort of that a little bit better So looking at that dollar yen coming up close to the 21 period SMA 120 42 Spot 42 is an exponential resistance We are getting a little momentum at the moment. We're at the top end of today's scale Almost got bullish cross in the MACD other technicals are relatively neutral I've seen rallies like this spot around on dollar yen, but we do have non farms today So if that comes out good, we might get some extra momentum But then you do have an American holiday So maybe people might look to shore off some bullish positions before heading into that period Looking at crude crude came off quite staunchly yesterday. I'm guessing oil inventories weren't that great Or maybe they were good and that's what said the price Also, you have that big Big spike in the US dollar you got China you got slow down fears blah blah blah So we're actually it's very negative bullish and golfing a bearish with the golfing pattern trading below $57 iron up 5485 as an ex-potential support Looking at gold gold's not benefiting from that stronger dollar and more interest rate chart in the US So it's drifting down lower at the bottom end of the scale 1163 was the low that it reached on Friday 5th of June We look like we might surpass that today to get a good NFP with 1137 being the next potential support So finishing up with your dollar and UP USD. So your dollar two negative days Not doing a huge deal first thing this morning I think we're now going to be in a holding pattern until we get non farms at the way But we're below one spot 11, which is that pivot level we talked a lot about should be downward momentum begin to accelerate You are looking at one spot at 07 86 as an ex-potential support level Moving on to GBP USD and negative very negative day yesterday. We've just broken ball tournament period SMA We're just dipping blow one spot 56 as we speak If we if we do get a positive non farms today, and that puts further pressure on cable That would push us down below that potential support and that would out one spot 54 24 We should also coincide with that 55 period SMA and you've gone Negative cross on the MACD. You had a cell signal the RSI and it's close to cast it just number of sessions ago So a lot of technical signals there not looking that great If you look at the wave formation that we'd have here if we follow a similar retracement to what we had back in May Down to the start of June that would probably bring us quite close to this level if that continues on But it's all data-dependent and what happens with yours on so Remember non farms today 130 make sure you set your alarm for that I do believe you've got non farm perils webinar What would be great for you to attend go to support and live through your events and sign up today it's free of charge for our clients and If we fast forward on to Friday, probably not a huge amount happening Over and above the PMI data and retail sales in the Eurozone because it's the American holidays start to kick off So there are a couple bits and pieces, but it's really non farm perils today and I Think about volatility over the weekend if you are looking to hold positions over the weekend Especially for Greece if you're looking at your dollar backs The Italian med the Spanish 35 everything else at that. It could be extreme volatility Depending on how that boat comes out So I do have a thing about that as well keep your on the chart for making sense probably later going forward and join Me again Next week to find out what happened next


Well, district energy is really an underground infrastructure asset that combines the heating and cooling needs of dozens or hundreds or sometimes thousands of buildings, aggregates their heating and cooling loads, and then a central plant distributes steam or hot water or chilled water to each of the buildings so that they can avoid the capital costs of their own boilers and chillers, they have lower operating expenses, and so it's really a community energy system that links thermal sources with multiple users. The benefits of district energy in a community are that building owners are able to tap into a thermal network rather than having to own and operate their own boilers and chillers and cooling towers. It allows them to reclaim space that they would otherwise dedicate to that equipment. They get a flatter electric load profile, they avoid emissions, it essentially makes for a greener building because they're not producing their own heating or cooling. But more than that, having a district energy system in your community produces a scale of thermal energy use that then allows you to use things like ocean water for cooling, geothermal energy, waste energy from incineration, or even just waste heat from a power plant. So district energy creates an opportunity for greener, cleaner thermal and cooling sources. District energy is used right here in Washington D.C., the capital power plant supplies steam and chilled water to all the buildings on Capitol Hill. GSA operates a plant in downtown Washington, they serve about 100 federal buildings. So right here in the district, there are lots of district energy systems. In every major college campus in our country, from the Ivy League schools to the Big Ten, the Pac Ten, most large universities or colleges have a district energy system. Also, all of our major cities, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, district energy has been around for this country over 130 years.
