The Brainerd Chamber of Commerce, along with Central Lakes College, hosted a business roundtable this morning. Businesses representing manufacturing, healthcare, and economic development attended the event. State representatives, superintendents, and K-12 partners were also at the presentation. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Chancellor, Dr. Steven Rosenstone spoke this morning to ask business and industry leaders what the needs are in this area for the community. He started the discussion on the topic of higher education and how to make it more affordable. But the goal for the roundtable was to find solutions and to continue an ongoing partnership between Minnesota State, Central Lakes, and Brainerd Lakes Community Area. We think it's important to regularly come together and ask the questions really what are the needs in this region. Talk about our partnerships, make sure that they're still meeting the needs, and identify gaps so that we can work together.

Kampala, Uganda, the African city, that never sleeps. Take a walk around Kampala on any given afternoon, and you'd be forgiven for thinking that the nightlife is quiet. The laid-back nature of the people might lead you to believe that they all head to bed early after dinner and some primetime TV. The reality couldn't be more different. Kampala's night scene is vibrant every day of the week. A youthful, fun and friendly crowd keeps the wheels turning until sunrise and the list of bars and clubs is endless with something for everyone. Its nightlife has made Kampala somewhat notorious as the party city of the region, something the Kenyans, Tanzanians and Rwandans will certainly testify to. Now what inspired your outfit? Just simply one thing, African women. Hey! It's the feel of Kampala bustling from dusk to dawn, coupled with the friendly people and endless offering of excitement that makes it unique from other cities in East Africa. From Mongolian to West African cuisine, you will not fail to find a spot in Kampala that caters to your needs. It's that diversity that's so hard to find in other African cities. But what exactly makes this city fun? What for example makes Lisbon, Paris or Cape Town great and fun cities? One. The buzz. It's all about the vibe. It must be an exciting and energizing place to live in. There must be a sense of possibility in the character of a city that counters the stress and strains of city life. Two. Great food. The best cities in the world are majorly known for both their great bars and good restaurant scene. Three. Friendly and warm people. A simple smile from a stranger in a new city can make a difference for a visitor. A humane touch in a city elevates it from mediocrity to greatness. Four. Affordability. Value for money is a requisite for a fun city. A high cost of living can be great for the success of a city, but it can limit the level of engagement with its visitors. Five. Safety. The ability to go binge drinking till morning just to celebrate your soccer team's victory and stagger back home is priceless. The numerous hangouts, music, comedy shows, bands, concerts and diverse cuisine make Kampala a great weekend getaway. Take a trip to the Ugandan capital city of Kampala and thank me later.


My name is Cosier Othauw, and I'm the Associate Dean for Student Success in the Faculty of Engineering and Science. I think the most important thing when the students get to us is to make sure that they settle in as quickly as possible. We have Welcome Week where we introduce the students to a range of study skill activities. We also take that opportunity to introduce them to the student union, existed in that role both at the student side and academic side. We also allow them to join one or more of the many student-led societies that exist. The faculty is actually connected by two campuses, the G Drunridge campus and the Medway campus. That brings lots of benefits to the students because they just see it as a university, two different places they can visit. i gael i gael. Rydyn ni'n gweithio gael mewn cynhyrchu prolygol, yn cydwyntiau cerddur a'r dweud o'r dweud. Rydyn ni'n gallu gael cymryd yn ysgrifennu. Dwi'n mynd i'n fwyaf y cerddur, rydyn ni'n fwyaf.

We will try and bring those back to help mentor and enthuse the student body that we have with us at that time And it grows the network of student support that they have when they finish


Hello friends! Cardiovascular critical care refers to special systemic management of patients with severe cardiovascular diseases and post-cardiac surgery which consists of heart disease, vascular disease and valvular disease. Cases that are managed in a cardiac critical care unit are heart attack, heart failure, other serious cardiac conditions and diseases such as cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, infection on the leaflets of heart valves. Often cardiovascular patients also have other systemic issues alongside such as respiratory failure, kidney failure, liver failure, infection or sepsis. Evolution to heart team has dramatically changed the way cardiac patients are managed in a cardiac critical care unit. This team namely consists of cardiologists, intensive care specialists, cardiovascular thoracic surgeons who often work in close-tandament coordination with one another to ensure smooth recovery and faster recovery of the cardiac patient. Doctors and nurses working in a cardiac critical care unit have extensive training in managing complex cardiac cases as well as training in systemic intensive care management because most often cardiac patients also have other systemic complications as well. The patient after heart surgery has multiple rapidly changing clinical problems. Initially these patients are unstable and their clinical status is extremely fluid and dynamic. Caring for the post-operative heart patient requires bedside presence and the knowledge of general fundamental concepts of critical patient care as well as concepts specific to this set of patients. The initial management of these patients as they return from the operating room is crucial as it sets tone for the rest of the recovery period. Upon the patient's arrival in the ICU, a thorough handover is obtained from the anesthesia and the surgical teams. It is as certain as to what procedure was done in the operating room, knowledge of interoperative events if any, which might impact patients post-operative course. Then a head to toe physical examination of the patient is done as part of this initial evaluation. At this time the patient is completely dependent on support systems and dysfunction of any of this can lead to disaster. The following points are monitored heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, temperature, right and left filling pressures, hemodynamic profile, pharmacological profile, ventilatory status, chest drainage, neurologic status, ECG and chest x-ray. Most patients return to the ICU following heart surgery with an invasive arterial line, Foley catheter, usually a thermo-dilutional swan gans catheter. The hemodynamic status of the patient can be determined by careful assessment of the data provided by these monitoring devices. Most common post-operative problems are hemodynamic problems such as hypotension or hypertension, cardiac problem that is arrhythmia, hemorrhagic complications, non-cardiac complications, pulmonary complications, renal complications, metabolic complications, hematological complications, neurological complications, infectious complications at times as well as GI complications. Critical care of the cardiac surgical patient is a complex and dynamic endeavor. Adequate fluid resuscitation, appropriate inotropic support, attention to re-warming, ventilatory management and need for mechanical hemodynamic support when pharmacological support isn't enough are the key components in managing these patients. Having a specialized and dedicated cardiac critical care unit enhances patient management and recovery due to the team expertise in managing cardiac patients.


No. There you go. Thank you. I'm on. OK. Yeah. Roll call. Alderperson Barfelde, I am here. Betty Ackley is excused. Dean Decker? Here. Leslie Laster is excused. Amanda Salazar? Leslie is on line. I'm here. Oh, she's on line. OK. Hi, Leslie. Hello. Amanda? Here. Oh, I did it backwards. OK, now we'll call a meeting to order. Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Introduction of committee members, staff, and guests. I'll start with Dean. Alderperson Dean Decker, District 6. Alderperson Barfelde, District 1 and Council Chair. Alderperson Amanda Salazar, District 3. Alderperson Leslie Laster, District 8. Thank you, Leslie. Chuck Adams, City Attorney. Kathy Hoffman, City Attorney's Office. Hey, Felden. OK. And Robert. Robert, are you at the end? There we go. I need a motion to approve the minutes for May 26, 2021. I will make a motion to approve the minutes from May 26. Second. All in favor, any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? And Chair votes aye. All in favor. OK, 3.1 general ordinance number 52122 6721, in ordinance amending the city of Sheboygan's Court of Ethics. All right.  My assistant, Thomas Cameron, did most of the work on drafting this and I think did a nice job.  But since all the person last or doesn't have those, I'll kind of go through those a little more in depth than I normally would. Basically, the impetus for this is the American Rescue Plan, which does require cities that receive funds under that program to have a conflict of interest policy that meets particular standards. The city's previous Code of Ethics really mostly complied with those requirements. But as we looked at it, there were a few things that we thought probably could be more explicit in alignment with what ARPA wants. And so this ordinance basically does that. It brings us in more strict compliance with it. Some of the main changes that you'll see in the ordinance are to the definitions. That's section 2-261. So you'll see that there has been an expansion to the definition of financial interest and to personal interest. And then we've also added a definition for the word officer. Basically, the financial interest and personal interest definitions are designed to sort of read the way that the American Rescue Plan wants them to read. The reason we added the definition of officer is because we discovered that really as you looked at this ordinance, sometimes we use the word officer. Sometimes we use the word official. And when we sort of interchangeably use those, sometimes people can think that there is a difference between those two. So we want to just have some consistency. And so this is included in all that. I can answer any questions that you might have. Otherwise, our recommendation is to move to recommend that council adopt the ordinance. I have a question. Who is the ethics board? So the council in the end is the ethics board, but the council has assigned you as the LHPS committee to be the committee that hears those ethics issues. So you're sort of in a way, the council's the ethics board and in a way you guys are. But the council makes the final decisions. You just have all the hearings here. Does anybody else have a question? I'll make a motion to approve. Second. Any other discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Nays? Chair votes aye. All in favor. Thank you. General Ordinance number 621-22, 6-721 in ordinance amending the municipal court. So as to add provision for a parklet permit to modify provisions related to drinking on public streets to account for the creation of parklets to update the provisions related to street festival permits and sidewalk cafes permits so as to make them more congruent with each other and the parklet provisions and to remove an ordinance no longer applicable related to drinking on the erstwhile Plaza 8. All right, so this is it's a fairly lengthy ordinance, but I'll kind of walk through it. And then just sort of a warning, we were kind of in a rush to get this done and get it on the agenda. And so we did find a few things that we're going to request a change for. So actually on the document you have in front of you, there will be a motion to amend that I will ask one of you to read and make the motion and then somebody else can second it. This basically started as a result of city staff members being in contact with several downtown businesses who are interested in the idea of creating parklets based in the downtown area. And this particular parklet that sort of led to this would result in a street closure during summer months. But as we kind of looked at the idea of parklets and doing some research, the thought was, well, we don't really want to create an ordinance for one situation. We'd like to create something that's a little broader. We became aware that there's a number of different styles of parklets in Wisconsin and even in some neighboring states. And so this ordinance is designed to be somewhat flexible and not directed at just one particular type of parklet. I think some of the common things that you often see is sometimes it's a couple of parking spaces in front of a building. Sometimes it is closing off, whether it's a street right away or an alley right away, some things like that. This would allow for that. And it's meant to be something a little bit more in depth than just simply a sidewalk cafe. As it's sort of in designing that, and there was a little bit of crossover between what this does and what the sidewalk cafes do, what the street festival does. And so we did make a few changes to those ordinances as well so that everything kind of flowed together to make it clear, hopefully somebody who comes in with an idea, it'll be really clear, well, is it a parklet they're looking for? Is it a street festival permit they're looking for? Is it a sidewalk cafe that they're looking for? And so we kind of clarified some of those definitions a little more tightly than we had before. And so that they could kind of work together as well. And also just some fairness issues. We didn't want to have it be more difficult to get one kind of a license than another. We didn't want people making decisions on what kind of permit they were trying to get based just simply on is it easier to do one than the other? We'd like them to make the decisions really based on what's actually happening in that location and what's best both for the business and for the community. So that's kind of what's there. I'll go over the amendment in a moment, but first, if you have any questions or I don't know, Chad is here. I don't know if he wants to add anything or about this. So the attorney kind of alluded to this, but a number of you have heard discussion between the A Street Ale House and Paradigm and their interest in shutting off the street. So that's kind of been the impetus for moving this forward. And that's one of probably many projects. I mean, there could be other people that have an interest, but that would be the forefront of it, would be to try to close off St. Clair between those two businesses and kind of create this public space that would be shared by both of them. So this has been in the works for a number of months. City staff has been working and this all kind of goes into the parklet that ordinance that Chuck proposed, as well as this project we, the council approved last year a downtown activation plan and these were some of the recommendations in there. So we're kind of implementing those plans and working with the attorney's office to get the ordinances up to date to allow this. So I think, hopefully more businesses will see that and see the interest in that and whether it's a sidewalk cafe or a parklet, they have opportunities for expanding their business. Questions? I have a quick question. What's the definition of a parklet? I guess that's my, what is it? Yeah, so it's actually in the ordinance that where we define it, but in essence, it's a space where a private business is using city street or right of way to conduct that business. So in some ways it's somewhat of a broader definition. A sidewalk cafe is specifically for the service of food and drinks on tables and chairs. This is a little more broader so they could do things beyond that, but it's basically where they're conducting their private business on public space. So this would be similar to like when Liars Club uses like Swift Avenue and things like that also or the same definition, I guess. So a parklet is generally gonna be a little bit more, I don't wanna say permanent because it's not permanent, but a little more permanent than say a street festival. So one of the things we've specifically done is said, okay, street festivals are limited to 72 hours. So if you want something longer to 72 hours, you're talking about a parklet. And so then some of the fixtures and things that you're gonna do down there, there's a little bit more oversight on that because you're gonna be there for a longer period of time. Something like the Liars Club does. Yeah, that's probably gonna remain to be a street festival and there may be options for new street festivals as well. Okay, okay. So you sort of answered a little bit of my question about how long, in addition to that, you talked about at parklets where they're serving sort of food and beverage. Can they do more outside of that in a parklet, meaning like have bands do sort of other entertainment in that space? Because I know this cafe doesn't include that, the sidewalk cafe. Right, so this is meant to be broader. So potentially, obviously, each individual parklet application is going to be reviewed based on where is it located, what's the size, what kind of activities are you gonna wanna be doing in there, but it is meant to be more broad and allow a wider range of activities. So potentially, assuming everything else is in place that it can be done, yes, things like musical entertainment and those kinds of things could happen. Yeah, so for a parklet, is the criteria listed in here? Like as far as, you know how you said you would kind of look at them and ask what they'd need? Yes, so what we've done is we've tried to have a balance between listing everything that could possibly happen and telling you these XYZ, ABC, that's it, nothing else, but also without being too loosey-goosey. So if you read through it, you'll see that there are the types of things to get reviewed we do look at. What kind of furniture are you putting there? What's the activity that you're gonna be doing there? What kind of space are you using? And it gives much more ability then for city staff to review that and make determinations about whether that particular application is gonna be approved. And then, as well, if city staff doesn't approve it, there's provision for them to appeal to you. Yeah, so that's under the standard sections, right? Is that what you're saying? Okay, cool, I will take a look at that. But yeah, this looks good. I'm glad we're doing this. Any other question? All right, I believe you want, first you want the amendment. Yeah, so first you'll need to make them a motion to approve and then we'll do the motion to amend. And we won't vote on anything until you have both of those motions. So you need, first of all, a motion to approve the ordinance. I can make them all. Go ahead. I'll make a motion to approve the ordinance. I'll second. Okay, then what we need is a motion to amend the ordinance. And would you like me to read it? I think that's fine. Okay, go ahead. Okay. I move to amend the proposed ordinance as follows. First, to retain the recently approved provision in section 110-502 that reads, notwithstanding this provision due to the ongoing economic challenges presented by the 2020-2021 novel coronavirus pandemic, the fee for the annual sidewalk cafe permit issued for the license year beginning April 15th, 2021 and ending April 14th, 2022 shall be the greater of the $25 or 50 cents per square foot. Second, to change the reference in section 110-502 sub C, sub five F to refer to a sidewalk cafe permit rather than a parklet permit. Third, to modify the references to parklet cafes in section 110-600 sub C, 110-602 sub A, 110-602 sub D, three and sub three and 110-603 sub E, sub seven to refer simply to parklets. Fourth, to change the reference in section 110-602 sub D, to refer to parklets rather than sidewalk cafes. Fifth, to clarify that the code reference in section 110-604 sub A is to section 110-602. Sixth, to remove the partial sentence at the end of section 110-604 sub B, sub eight. I'm glad you did that. But I do need a second. I'll second. Okay. Is there any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All right. Opposed? Chair votes aye. Okay, then you need to move the motion to approve the ordinance as amended because you just approved the amendment. That one will be easier. Okay. Just make a motion to approve as amended. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Chair votes aye. Hats. Can I ask one quick other question for the parklets? Does that include an extension of premise or do they have to apply for that separately as well? They'll have to do that separately and there are issues surrounding that. So like not every, I mean, that's an issue. So even you'll notice in the parklet provision there's also this additional section that says notwithstanding the provisions, the city can do its own thing. And the reason we included that in there is because the proposal that Chad and I have talked about, they're not even 100% set on exactly how they wanna handle things. And one way might be for the city to do its own thing down there, but that would then limit some of the things regarding the service of alcohol can make things complicated. Yeah, yeah, I know that. Yes, as you well know from dealing with, yeah. So I was just wondering how that applies. Cause I know with the festival cafe, it's pretty kind of cut and dry, right? From your door from where, but a parklet could seem. Right. So they're still gonna have to do all the things to extend their premises if they wanna go into the parklet and follow all the rules that are in the state statutes for that. We don't have any control over that. That's all by state statutes. So they're, honestly, what's gonna happen is if people are gonna do a parklet, they're probably gonna come in and talk to staff and meet with clerk's office, my office, Chad's office to work through a lot of those details. I feel like my constituents might call once this kind of comes out. So, all right, thank you. All right, next one. General Ordinance number seven, 21, 22, 6721, in Ordinance amending the municipal code so as to take advantage of the provisions of 2019 Wisconsin Act 166, authorizing issuance of alcohol beverages, beverage operators licenses to a designated municipal official and applying similar provisions to other licenses issued by the city where issuance of such an official is not prescribed by state law. All right, so the background on this is there is that 2019 Wisconsin Act 166 was approved early in 2020. And basically what it does is allow cities to make your life easier by basically saying not every, none of these beverage operators licenses actually have to go to council to be approved. You can authorize the clerk to issue them. What we did is we wrote this up to basically take advantage of that. The city clerk will be allowed to issue most of those licenses without referring them. And then we've also extended that to a list of other licenses that will no longer be required to go to council. Alcohol beverage licenses, that's the actually the bar licenses or the liquor store licenses. Those will still come to you. And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna keep in place the process that we have now where all of these still get reviewed by my office, by the police department, by the city clerk's office. We meet regularly. We always meet two days before this meeting. We'll probably keep on a similar type schedule but it won't, we'll be able to meet more often if need be. And so we'll still review those. What'll happen then is instead of you having to approve them instead of them coming on the agenda, they'll only come to you if we've denied them and they want to appeal that denial. So, and that does happen on occasion but you won't see them until that point. So your agendas are gonna look smaller. We might get done faster once in a while. Right, right. And so we won't see any that get declined either unless they ask. Unless they ask. Okay. Basically, if we say we're gonna turn them down and it's kind of similar to what we do now except we still have to have sort of this technical hearing in front of you. But it's gonna be similar where we'll send them a letter, 95% of the time they won't respond and so we'll, or they'll say, okay, that's fine and we'll treat that as the denial or with the withdrawal of the license.  And that works for these things. There's separate provisions for, I'll call beverage licenses that you'll still see those but most of those happen when there's either a new bar. And so you'll either see them right after somebody's come to do presentations in front of you or you'll see them in May or early June when we're renewing the room. But that's about it. The list of licenses that's affected by this ordinance, I'll just read them. Some of these are licenses you maybe didn't know that we issued. Beverage operators licenses, public dance hall licenses, circus carnival and menagerie licenses, theater licenses, non-alcoholic dance club licenses, massage establishment licenses, ambulance business licenses, mobile home park licenses, pawnbroker licenses, commercial operators licenses, those are related to trees and shrubs, taxicab business licenses, taxicab vehicle licenses, taxicab driver licenses, commercial quad-recycle business licenses, commercial quad-recycle vehicle licenses and commercial quad-recycle driver licenses.  So Chuck, if the police department has an issue with the taxicab driver's license, that seems to come up a lot. Will that still come to us then? Only if there's a denial. So we're still gonna go through that process which we review them and make a decision as to whether to deny or not, send them a letter and then what'll happen is if they want to appeal that then you'll see that in front of you. So our recommendation is just a motion to recommend this ordinance be adopted by council. Questions? Just comment that this is a win for you because we're basically just rubber stamping what you send through all the time. I mean, there's never been a time where somebody would say, well, I'm sorry, I don't think this person deserves a license or something like that. And if it's someone that's denied, it still comes in front of us, we still review it. I mean, and this will help. I think the bartenders and capturers saves them on the wait time because now listen, they have to wait for us to have it then they have to wait for the comma council. They have to wait, the whole thing like that. So it could be probably three, four weeks and someone's waiting to start employment there. We go through you guys, it's boom, boom, boom, and it's done. I think this is a great idea. Yeah, that's a great question. Is there a wait period? When you apply for a license now, you have to wait for two meetings and it has to get approved. Yeah, right now the license comes in, it goes to the next council meeting and then it goes to your committee and then it goes back to that next council. That won't be required anymore. It's not that we're gonna be able to turn, because we're not gonna, the three staff that need to review these are gonna need every day, but it should take away some of that. And the very simple ones to be real honest, we've already talked about how there are a number of these that are so simple that we can just handle them by email. Somebody comes in and is in a rush. If it's a simple one where there are just no issues and we know that from doing the background check, we're probably just gonna be able to shoot an email to each other and say, go ahead. Great. Any other questions? No, I'll make a motion to approve this. Second. Any discussion? Nope. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Chair votes aye. Motion passed. 3.4, RO number 98, 2021, 11, 220, various license applications, change of premise app number 3381, fire store number 305. So this is one that's been hanging out for a while and you've been asking about and it's no longer needed. So we're recommending filing the application. What happened here basically is they waited so long that it came time for renewal time and they took care of it as part of the renewal and you've already approved that renewal and so this one can just get filed. So we're recommending a motion to file. Motion to file. Second. Okay, any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. Chair votes aye. Motion carried. Number, RO number 173, 2021, 4721, various license applications, class B liquor license, new application number 3479, Stefano's slow food market. So we had held this previously as they were working on some things and last I checked with the clerk's office, they hadn't quite gotten everything complete but we're pretty convinced that they will by the time that they need to and they do have to do this by July 1st. So we are recommending that you grant this license contingent on their providing all necessary documents to the clerk's office. Okay, any questions? We don't have any now. All right, I need a motion then. I make a motion that we grant the license with the contingency that the paperwork is filed. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. And chair votes aye. So we are passed on that one. Okay, resolution number 3.6. Number 921-235321, various license applications class B liquor license. That's a renew application number 1089, Dave's who's in. We had held this one for further disciplinary action and we are now recommending granting this license with a warning. Basically what happened is we offered some voluntary disciplinary action so that they wouldn't have to have a hearing which also comes with an additional length of time and Mr. Rapinsky who is the agent for this tavern did voluntarily surrender his license for a period of one week and so they were closed down as a result of the incidents. And since they've done that, we are now happy with the idea that you can grant that license but with a warning to continue in compliance with the law. Questions? I need a motion. The question was what was the incident? There were several incidents that basically people were fighting in the tavern. It spilled out and it led to additional violence outside the tavern including that time there was a gunshot out on the south pier. That was a, it wasn't, you can't really blame the gunshot on the folks at the bar but it was the result of the disturbance not really being contained. Okay, any other questions? I have a question. Leslie? How often has this happened before? Have they ever been suspended in the past? Dave's who's in has been suspended more than once in the past but it's been now probably, oh, it's been five to seven years since the last time we had any disciplinary action. With the same license? Same license, yeah. Dave's has been in front of us and I've been doing this, I've been handling this committee or it's various iterations of it for probably 15 to 18 years and he's been in front of you probably four or five times in that period. I have another question. Has he done anything to increase security? I know he can't prevent things outside of the bar but to prevent things inside? What I would say is I can't answer that specifically but I know that part of the process that the police department entered into there were a couple of things that happened as part of the police recommendation here and we did rely very heavily on the police in making this recommendation. One is that the police have had in recent months regular communication with Mr. Rapinsky himself, making recommendations as to things that can happen and expressing their concerns about some of the issues that happen in ways that they can deal with it. Second, Mr. Rapinsky was, he was issued what's called a chronic nuisance abatement order in which he and his business were ordered to basically have a meeting with the police department with the neighborhood officer for that area to come up with a plan to abate sort of the nuisances that are coming out of the neighborhood. That's a lengthy process. It's a process that's ongoing but my understanding is that the police department is happy with the progress that he's made in that process and they now feel that that chronic nuisance abatement process is sufficient to deal with those issues as long as there aren't, if there are new issues, we'll bring them back to you but they're happy with the way that that is working. If that was my question.  That's right. We could bring him back.   It's not like in court where once you're punished, you're done forever. You know, we can look at the whole, the whole history of things. And we did look at the whole history for this. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Any other questions? All right, need a motion. Well, I will make a motion that we grant the license with a warning. Second. Any other discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Moos. Chair votes aye. Motion passed. On 3.7, RO number 16, 21, 22, 5, 17, 21. Various license applications, beverage operators license renewal app, number 9480, Christine L. Pierce. We had held this one for some further investigation after further reviewing the circumstances, the police did a little bit of investigating regarding this applicant's recent criminal conviction, which was related to the license activity. We've decided that the proper action here is to recommend granting the license with a warning. Basically, she was involved in an incident. She's a bartender. She was involved in an incident at the place where she works. It was not particularly appropriate the way she handled it, but as we looked into it further, we feel that while she handled it inappropriately, given that she's a bartender and should know better, it was really an incident that was the other parties involved were really who instigated it and who really kind of pushed her. We're not happy. She's getting a warning out of it, but we don't feel that we need to take away her license for this single incident. Question? Need a motion? I make a motion to approve with the warning. Second. I have a motion and a second. Any other discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Oppose nay. Sorry, Leslie. Oppose nay. Chair votes aye. So that is passed. RO 3.8. Number<PHONE_NUMBER>1, various license applications, submitting various license applications for the period ending December 31st, 2021, and June 30th, 2023. So this is the large, there's all sorts of applications on here, and I've actually updated the recommendations that are on the document in front of you because some things, even as of 20 minutes ago, we're being fixed. So I'm just gonna kind of walk through them and I'll have you vote on each one separately because I just think that's maybe a little bit easier. So first, we are recommending, granting the beverage operators license renewal applications of Shannon M. Reese and Jason A. Violetta and the taxicab driver's license application of Harold O. De Jesus Rivera with a warning to avoid further law violations related to the licensed activity. I make a motion to grant as my staff recommendations. Second. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Oppose nay. Chair votes aye. That is passed. We're also recommending that you grant the Class B liquor license application of a poor decision LLC with a caveat that all require documentation to be completed to the satisfaction of staff. This is one that I was reviewing even moments ago and I think they're probably gonna be good. This is the executive area. Yeah. Okay. And Class B is, remind me again? That's like, it's a basically a bar license. Bar license, okay. I need a motion. I'll make a motion to approve. Second. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Oppose nay. Oppose nay. Chair votes aye. That's passed. Okay, we are recommending that you grant the Class B liquor license renewal application for license number 3475 with a caveat that all require documentation, including information about the business entity form and the required background checks be completed to the satisfaction of staff. That's actually been done and that the original license be issued prior to 430 p.m. on June 30, 2021. So basically what this is, is there was a tavern that applied for a new owner came along and you guys did approve the new owner to get the license. But the new license hadn't been issued yet because the new license had to go through all their occupancy things. And so what they did is they kept operating the business under the old licensee, kept operating the business so that it wouldn't be shut down. They're not gonna be able, the old licensee, their license runs out June 30th, no matter what happens. So the new licensee, they've actually now come and asked for a renewal of a license that hasn't been issued yet. They're gonna actually have to get that license issued to them by proving that they've met all the other requirements to open by June 30th. But if you do that, we're good with you renewing it. So that's, the motion is basically to grant with those caveats. Any questions? I make a motion to grant with staff recommendations. Second. Oh, Leslie. We'll give Leslie a second on that one, how's that? Yes. Is there any other discussion? All right, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed nay. Motion carried. Oh, chair votes aye. Motion carried. You can ignore what I have written down about the sidewalk cafe license applications because they're gonna be, they're all done and taken care of and ready to go. And so they will be included under our last recommendation which is to grant all remaining applications on the RO. I make a motion to approve. Second. Second. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. Chair votes aye. That passed. Our next meeting date is June 30th, 2021, five o'clock. And I need a motion to adjourn. I make a motion to adjourn. Second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. Motion carried. We are adjourned. Thank you. Thank you, Chuck. Thank you. Thank you. We just made it a whole lot easier for the next time. I know, I was thinking like this, what does this mean every 10 minutes? Okay. Ah, okay, okay.


My chill blocker gloves made in USA the Hans Chill blocker waterproof gloves from camping survival.com thermal level H4 That would be the next to the house thermal air for these waterproof gloves. Here's a sizing chart They are washable Measuring your hand for gloves Nine nine inches. Okay. Now when I relax it a little bit it gets a little bit less, okay According to the chart nine inches is I'm at the low end of medium and So I'm really right between a small and a medium. I wear a size eight and a half shoe Five foot eight inches tall and I'll wear sometimes I wear a small and gloves sometimes I wear a medium I ordered medium in this one because it says some That would be my size But so these mediums a little bit a little bit large for me that make sure you measure your hand and get the right Size glove very important. I've been working in these gloves worked up with them all day yesterday Didn't have any problems with them And so the medium works for me. These rubber dots really help with gripping But it doesn't get in the way or feel Awkward at all when you're petting your dog Often when it gets this cold you need to wear heavy thick gloves to get your hands warm However, the heavy thick gloves of course interfere with everything yet you do So I'm always ended up taking them off putting them back on taking them off putting them back on with these gloves You don't want to have to do that because the cuff goes all the way down here So there are not good gloves for taking on and off what you want to do is you want to Put the gloves on and wear them not have to take them on and off All right, that requires a certain amount of dexterity All right, so so far these gloves have passed that test I'm able to reach into my pocket and retrieve things such as my keys With no problem without having to take the gloves off. That's a big plus these gloves are easy to turn inside out to either wash or to Or to dry once your hands get sweaty nice some soft material inside And of course the true test for waterproof gloves is are they waterproof? Drives the bone But this is the kind of day for which these gloves are best suited the waterproof feature keeps your hands dry and Warm so I give these gloves from camping survival a big Thumbs up This is survival doc reminding you be prepared or be prepared to be fleeced


Welcome trainers to another Tick-Nail Charter with me, Patrick Manley wants to draw your attention to developing an opportunity in the Euro dollar on the daily time frame. As per the weekly live analysis session we looked into the seasonality we've seen nice pop here in the Euro against the dollar. We're running into an interesting area now we have symmetry swing resistance versus this last correction coming in at $119.97. We have weekly range resistance at $1215 and we'll just throw a fib on here from the last swing and yet we have 50% retracement. So I'm watching that for bearish reversal patterns to set short positions here in the Euro initially targeting move back into $118.50 may get bullish reversal patterns there and I might switch out with the shorts into another long position but if we fail through the train line support I'll hold on for a test of $116.00. As always trainers plan the trade, train the plan, manage your risk.


Jack, with this one, there's different structures of different runs. What did you see that was the difference maker? Yeah, we talked a little bit about it as a team after the game. You just look at the defensive numbers, the quarters. 35, 27, 13, 28 is like my heartbeat was watching USA versus Netherlands kind of thing. We want more like when my wife watches like those movies hallmark, just nice and across the board. So a little bit more consistency kind of thing. So great third quarter, start out game too much at the beginning of the game. So the consistency and that's turnovers. Couple of second chance points where kick out for threes. That's us not capitalizing in transition also. We had plenty of opportunities especially in the first quarter. So a little bit of everything, but that team had 103 points and we didn't play our best. And you mentioned earlier that this was going to be a test and a challenge for this group. What did you gather as a whole as you walk away from the core from where your team is right now? Yeah, overall good to see TJ back out there getting the mix. So we're accomplishing some things, figuring out some units, figuring we can play small and big like we did tonight. We can defend as we did in the third quarter. And now can we consistently do it? And so good for us to take a look at what the recipe is and now can we continue to produce that recipe over and over again. Coach got two quick ones for you. You guys jumped out to the 11 to 2 lead and then they came back and took a 16 to 11 lead. Just what did you see in that swing? Because it kind of felt like that. Yeah, a lot of that was us Christians. Imagine it was like we had five turnovers in that stretch with a bunch of them being we got a 3 on 2 or a 2 on 1 or 4 on 3 and we didn't capitalize. Quick turnaround. And so I told them this is a high quality basketball game. So you got to make high quality plays over and over again. That's how they erased that lead very quickly. And second, just Kevin, obviously 31 points, but he had the 8 turnovers. Just what did you see from some of the reads that he was making? Yeah, a little bit of everything. Then I look on the other side and Tatum had 9. And so you go about it. Those dudes garner a bunch of attention, put them in positions where both teams show crowds to the best player out there. That's just a part of it. Can we have some where we don't give them up as easily, maybe in the first quarter like we did? Kevin had a 2 on 1 break with Nick. Maybe we don't turn that one over. Maybe that's a dunk or a layup. He doesn't have 8. Jacques, for most of the game, you played 8 guys. You got a little out of the bench. I mean, you talked about TJ coming into his own set that fell in trouble. Given their length, did you think about going to Kessler, Dearon, Keef, some of the guys at the end of the bench? You're giving him more size? No, I looked at the statue. And he went with 8 also, pretty much. And so I felt just that's the way the game was going to play out. We got two days off before our next game. I always think about what can be next, like Seth picked up those quick files. The shooting piece around it. Could we have put someone else in? Always thinking about it and was trying to get advantage. And I think over the course of the night, we make them not play cornet because of the way we went small so that we both were kind of going back and forth to chess match.


Well, I thank you very much a few things to say if if I said I understood half of what those previous two talks are about I think I'd be a blatant liar So I'm not a developer. I'm not a coder. I think I left my coding days behind me back in about 1984 with the Spectrum 48k When I realized actually I got fed up of typing in those really long Pages of code only to find you made a spelling mistake halfway through thought screw that Let's play jetpack instead or manic minor, but What I'm here today to talk to you about is actually I'm an information security professional. So I'm the director of global the global security office for sapient So let's move on first off to a little disclaimer. So I'm actually not allowed to talk about specific things that we do within sapient This is great for me because when you break into raptorous applause at the end It's because it's all my own work and if you hate it It's because my damn company won't let me talk about the things. I really need to talk about But I am glad to say that actually what I'm going to put across now is some concepts and some ideas It's more of a conversation than anything else rather than a talking at you, but it's you know I'm trying to introduce my ideas about how actually Secure coding or coding with security in mind is actually vital. It's really really important But not necessarily for the reasons that you might think so We're going to talk about for instance how coding securely can save money It's kind of an obvious thing in a sense. You don't you don't do so much rework, you know hacks later on blah We're going to look into that in more detail But you know, this is probably in anybody who's in so any kind of commercial organization The better you code the more money you will save and the more money that the shareholders make or your bosses make or whatever Right, that's a good thing. Right. That's a good thing. Their success is your success. We'll I'm sure we all agree with that now What this image does remind me of actually it's a site segue But I have to say whenever I do a presentation like this I do an awful lot of Google image searches and you're trying to find the right kind of image And I have to say over the past few months The not only the quality and the resolution of the images has increased But the actual quality of the subjects of the images has increased and I think it's I think it's you know Just like as I say a little segue is something that's worth bearing in mind especially as we move on to the next point about how we can you know Secure coding helps us actually not only lose of confidence in things but also will help us build confidence as well And I think that's an important concept confidence not only within ourselves, but also within the Our clients and our employers, etc And the third thing we're going to talk about is we can save lives with this stuff This is important the internet of things that wonderful TLA that everybody's starting to hear more and more about This is an important concept. You quite literally can save lives with the right kind of coding done in the first place We're going to look at some examples around that Yeah, so without further ado, let's move on to Saving money so Sony and I've just noticed that my laptop is not giving me any of my notes whatsoever So I'm gonna kind of you know wing it a little bit now But Sony we all know about the Sony breach back in 2011 as carried out by Anonymous and members purporting to be of anonymous and they took something like I don't know 76 million records I think it was personal records the cost to Sony as a result of that was in the hundreds of millions without a shadow of a doubt not only in actually reputational damage but also in the fact that They had to you know with credit card information potentially being stolen. They had to pay You know restitutional damages to people and that that kind of thing and you know what the the primary cause of that hack was Does anybody have an idea of that? No, no, no that was even before sequel injection It was a sequel injection attack that allowed anonymous to get in there in the first place and then Capitalized on those other things if you saw to me So yes, the hack would probably have happened through other means and mechanisms But the primary entrance point into this was sequel injection. It was a coding error You know so and I you know the sequel injection is just one example You know and I'm sure everybody in this room never codes insecure And there's never coded a sequel injection error in their lives, of course But not far bit for me to say but I think sequel injection has been on the OWASP top 10 for 10 years 12 years something like that, you know, this is this is a Vulnerability that should be well shouldn't be around in today's day and age So, you know, I think you see, you know the Sony hack started with a sequel injection Let's try linked in this was a more common one again to your point It's because LinkedIn did not they encrypted their passwords. They didn't hash and salt them So they were very easily Reversed effectively But the first entry point into the linked in hack was a sequel injection attack Through a third-party application that's linked in used again very very simple basic pieces of attack or pieces of vulnerabilities were exploited to carry this now this was a far smaller scale linked in obviously is a Free product for 99% of the people out there the margins of paper thin It cost them about two to three million dollars to get this fixed to get it squared away. They exposed I think it was something like eight million records or something like that If I had my notes on my laptop, I'd be able to tell you far more accurately Note to self check laptop before starting So, but this is a you know another example the third example I want to give obviously quite an obvious one target everybody knows about this one isn't sequel injection You'll be glad to hear but this this actually took advantage of a vulnerability Within the pause systems now somebody coded those pause systems, right? There is you know those pause systems were coded by somebody who actually wrote the Production code that they use and an invulnerability within that code was exploited which then allowed Folks to the the attackers I think they were rushing allegedly to scam the credit cards of you know millions of customers They reckon that the actual total damages Will come to billions in the end They act that the target posted a loss in earnings in the I think it was the following one or two quarters Which for target?  Okay big deal. No problems Well, let's look at losing confidence side now This is not quite as clear-cut as it might seem now HB Gary more specifically HB Gary federal was an a governmental Security or I rephrase that a security company that served the US government's Space as it were you can't find a logo for HB Gary federal anymore I think they've they've invoked their right to be forgotten or something, but HB Gary now in 2011 their CEO chap called are and bar and I don't you know, tell if anybody's please nod vigorously If anybody remembers this or knows this their CEO are and bar a chap who I happen to know quite incidentally lovely fella He basically went to the telegraph. I think it was he's an American chap But he got his his point out to the telegraph saying I know how to identify Anonymous through social media, you know the hacker group when I was I can put names to them I was quite a grandiose claim and it put anonymous on a bit of a back foot for a short period of time They then attacked HB Gary using what? Sequel injection so they attacked the HB Gary CMS they went through the website Attack the CMS now that was just the first point There was a litany of errors after that they got into the CMS through sequel injection through through that the passwords were poorly encoded Using a using a I think it was a char one hash very very, you know low quality known to be bad hashing algorithm, so they got the password table they managed to you know Use the rainbow tables to to decrypt that effectively They then found passwords for the CMS for folks like Greg Hoglund and our and bar and other key leads within the HB Gary organization HB Gary then fell over again because they had password reuse they were constantly using the same passwords from account to account to account So they were able to use those passwords to get further into the system. They then use social classic social engineering They got onto the one of their third-party developers who maintain the CMS and pretended to have forgotten their username blah, blah, blah You know, can you open this port because I'm traveling in Spain, etc And then got access and basically released every single email that was in the HB Gary system You know to I think it was a past been and each one of these Each one of these emails was basically saying how HB Gary We're going to socially engineer it such that they could identify Key members of anonymous and they were going to plant false information Within the press they were going to plant false information around the world. It was somewhat shady stuff to say the least and so bottom line is Confidence was lost a year later HB Gary was HB Gary federal. I'm sorry did not meet Their projection their earnings projections and were bought out and effectively assets stripped a year later by another American company So they were gone quite simply gone HB Gary federal does not exist as it currently stands So that's a classic example of something where You know poor coding as well as a litany of other errors Results in the the loss of a company Maybe a good thing or a bad thing depends on where you stand with anonymous and where you stand with what HB Gary We're doing but nonetheless People lost their jobs. You know people got behind on their mortgage payments, etc. However Let's look at this in a broader context So from the information security breaches survey was carried out by the UK government the Department for Business Innovation and Skills The actual cost of a breach is Going up year-on-year the number of breaches Reported are going down, but the cost of a breach is going up a large company 600 K to 1.15 million per breach is the average here That's a lot of chunk of change that's being lost for a small company and that could be roughly 20 80 100 people 65 to 115 K how many more widgets or Things or consultancy that do you have to do to make up that kind of cost as a result of breaches into your organization? This is this is quite a big deal. It's quite a big deal, but here's the rub Here's the rub 10 percent of every company that was surveyed for this had to completely change Their business model as a result of being attacked. They either had to exit You know that their internet strategy or that this their e-commerce strategy They had to completely change how they operated as a result of the hack 10% that's quite a significant amount if you will Now the interesting part is when you look at some of the other companies that were involved in here So let's go back to Sony we go back to Sony Sony were hacked a total of four times or actually there were hacked once Four times if you see what I mean. It's the same hack every time. They didn't fix the breach 2008 big global downturn Sony's share price went down just like every other company's share price went down When the breach happened and the subsequent breaches happened their share price went even lower So their share price at that point was a quarter of what it was about 15 to 18 months before prior Prior it was a significant drop only now are they just recovering pre-breach levels But hands up here who has bought a Sony product since 2011 You probably bought one that you didn't know about now. My question is what are you doing? This is an insecure company. Why are you buying products from an insecure company? Tell you why because they do good products So the interesting thing is just because a company gets a breach and suffers and drops share price Many times and more often than not it does not result in that business disappearing HB Gary was a very specific example when you start searching for businesses that have actually gone out of business Or organizations have gone out of business as a result of breaches. There's not many out there. It's quite interesting some statistics say that if a company handles its breach correctly buffer the buffer app the folks who allow you to Broadcast on social media across multiple platforms. They handled their breach Incredibly well so that their actual market share took off after the breach Now, I don't know what could what the cause of their breach was I'm not even going to suggest it was sequel injection at this time But their business actually took off so it's not quite as simple as you might think. Yes, you might lose money Yes, you might lose shareholder value, you know, yes, you might have a little bit of reputational damage But very often you think about Sony You don't think about them any differently now to what you did before so this brings about a little bit of a conundrum I can't say to you guys as a developer community in front of me if you don't code securely We're all going to be out of a job. It's a little bit more complex than that It's going to reduce value. It may result in short-term redundancy. It may result in a downturn, but it's not going to be the end of the world So that's actually then let's look at a different concept saving lives everybody know what this device is It's it's an insulin pump. So for people have type 1 diabetes And particularly aggressive forms of it. The pump is is basically Plumbed into their blood supply. It checks there the blood sugars and every time the blood sugars dropped to a certain level the pump Activates and pushes insulin into their system automatically means you don't have to constantly check your blood yourself and keep doing it Very good, especially if you forgetful This is a Bluetooth Pump so you can actually on your smartphone monitor what's going on and gather a record and things like that now in 2008 a chap called Barnaby Jack the late Barnaby Jack He died. I think it was a like last year He showed at the death con conference how actually there are such fundamental vulnerabilities in this device That someone within a 30-foot range Could with relative ease hack into it and deliver a fatal dose of insulin to the individual Now now tell me that secure coding isn't important When you put it in context like that we put all of our emphasis Into securing credit cards and making sure money isn't lost You know making sure that you know shareholder value is increased all of this stuff is inherently Replaceable and as we've seen actually doesn't have that much of an impact But when we start talking about the internet of things, this is a significant thing secure code I'm not so you know, I don't even know if anybody here is coding on any any platform like this But the vulnerabilities were so basic that actually it was very very straightforward to do Barnaby Jack Obviously also went on and showed how the standalone ATMs that connect over a GSM signal They can also be hacked in the same way and you can start churning out as many You know you can route the the ATM and give out money They haven't fixed this These vulnerabilities still exist in Bluetooth Insulin pumps in the world Those vulnerabilities still exist Does anyone know what this is? God take a guess come on Pacemaker there we go. It's just one of those smart pacemakers. It's the type of one that Dick Cheney had Now whatever your political views he actually took a very sensible Precaution because these pacemakers have become wireless effectively used to be you had to almost a bit like an Access badge. You had to actually place a wand over the chest. Sorry chest in order to Access the data that's held on the pacemaker, etc. Now it can be done from 20 meters away He actually had the wireless capability on his pacemaker disabled Because the secret service not that they're paranoid or anything But the secret service said you are at risk because you actually had that functionality disabled yet Have you know wires hanging out of his body to in order for the pacemaker to be monitored, etc? Barnaby Jack again the late Barnaby Jack again He showed how from 20 feet away you can deliver a fatal electric shock to somebody's heart through a pacemaker Now again putting things into perspective one not many people have pacemakers to not many people actually have Wireless pacemakers. I think they're all a bit traditional. You fast forward ten years. This type kind of thing is going to be standard We look at cars. We look at Tesla for instance, you know, they that a car manufacturer offers a bug bounty for vulnerabilities in its code That's a bit weird isn't it when you if you go back five years and said, you know in five years time a car manufacturer We offer in bug bounties for it for the for the code that sits in its car What really but they're doing that the Toyota Prius has been shown that it can be taken over the they can From a car driving behind it. They can take over the I think it's the the the lights and the horn and the Indicators, etc. Not particularly Difficult not particularly dangerous as such. That's just stage one. This is just a research project, right? What next and the Prius although it's you know, technically a fairly complex car It's quite dated as it as regards technology. You've got BMWs now that you can control either iPhone You know, who knows what could happen next you got drive by wire Steering, you know Somebody could take you off the road. This is where the future of secure coding is going to be not just in Websites not just in things that might affect people's credit cards or things like that. This is where the future of it Again, I want to emphasize we put a lot of our efforts into securing people's financial Lives which are completely replaceable and not putting enough effort into doing things that actually will take lives in the future So Where where the priorities that we should be looking at is it? Internet of things is it the cash? I don't know. This is not this is not a a right or wrong description I think it's more food for thought about how you as developers can view the work that you do Not just the work that you are doing today, but actually how you approach it as a developer Developers you're all developers. There are millions of lines of code in everything, you know And one qa team or one testing Environment cannot go through every single line of code that's written But each individual developer could go through every single line of code that they write and ensure that it's actually To the very best of their knowledge secure properly written, you know, and as robust as it possibly could be Let's talk about the takeaways here because actually at the end of the day It's all very well Tom, but you know actually so what what have we got to do about it? Well, I think there's three things that we can look at here The first one. Let's start coding more maturely This is my humble opinion, you know, and I welcome any kind of suggestions Otherwise the logo on the you're probably familiar with the one on the right logo on the on the left is bsim the It's bringing security in maturity model. So it's about actually Ensuring that the way that an organization codes and manages its its development environment Has a maturity actually has the checks in place. It's not it's not a standard as such It is quite literally that a maturity model that allows You to measure how you as an organization might actually see where your code is compared to others So we've got some big names there some of the big banks No marks and spenders for instance a part of the bsim environment is kicked off by an organization called sigital It's actually technically a not-for-profits organization although there are You know money does change hands It's at a sort of break-even point to say the least but you can start to measure the maturity of your development environment And on the right of course the OWASP the OWASP top 10 and they've graced our shores for a you know decade or whatever OWASP is very good, but of course, you know, they bring out the top 10 every couple of three years They might not be your top 10 That's the problem with this. This is such a generic thing I think I was to a great job and they they're doing an awful lot to bring this to our attention But it's a generic thing their top 10 is not necessarily your top 10 You might have two or three on there, you know sequel injection is on there still But you need to look at your code in priorities in the same way that they do what are you what is your top 10? What are the 10 things that actually cause? 1995 percent of the vulnerabilities within the within the code that you produce. How do you actually? route that out Right at the very beginning rather than having to you know pick apart the code at the end So code more maturely look at different ways that you can actually address this The third one is skin in the game now This is a Roman bridge And I don't know if people know this I'm not even sure if it's an urban myth. I don't think it is but in Roman times They built good bridges and we can tell that by the modern bollard in front You know in the fact that this bridge is still standing and you know if nothing else grass is going on You probably walk over the top of it however many hundreds of years later But one of the reasons why it's still there is because the architect who designed it had some real skin in the game and he had skin in the game because He was forced to stand underneath the arches as The supporting structures were taken away once the bridge was completed So that's a bit like saying you need to code you need to write the code for this Insulin pump and then we're going to plug it into you and have a right old pop at that insulin pump And as long as you're confident that you're not going to keel over in some kind of shock That's the equivalent right? I'm not suggesting that maybe but What I'm saying have some skin again have a sense of You know of responsibility of what you're doing. This is not just a job. Nobody's in here I would suggest Because it's just a job. I think most people in this room have a passion for what they do You wouldn't actually be it's what 8 o'clock you wouldn't be here in an office at 8 o'clock at night listening to some You know Pratt talk about coding and secure code and if you didn't have a passion for it in the first place Turn that passion into the code and the code that you deliver put some skin in the game to it And remember I think this is a very important thing to remember That every time you write code Just think of that knock on the door at 2 o'clock in the morning All right, the next person who's got a look at your code who's actually got to fix it If they know where you live and they're particularly unhappy and a little bit unhinged you might code a little bit harder Just think of it in those terms as well again very I know it's a very blasé thing to say But it's it's true. You do need to actually think about it in these so it's not just an activity for now It's not just an activity to get you to the next pay job payroll. Sorry your next payday It's an activity this code could be in production for decades in some cases You know or even if it's only in production for three years But you've left the country and migrated to emigrated to Australia's become a sheep farmer How the hell are they going to be able to work out your code? if you're not actually coding it in a way that can be understood and in a way that is robust and actually easily easily deconstructed and That is the end of it. It's my various internet Residencies if anybody would like to chat to me after now, we'll take questions now, but thank you very much Any questions? Yes So I was was a good place to start the Sands Institute run very good courses They will work you hard their courses start on a Saturday morning And then run through to the following Friday in many cases So the Sands Institute is a very very good place to go Otherwise, I mean, I think that would be my top tip is look at the Sands Institute. They're also an open institute They'll point you in other directions as well Engaging honestly communities like this you're already one step ahead by the fact You're actually engaging in a community that cares about what you do There's also organizations for instance even iSACA and ISC squared they have specialities when it comes to coding and development You know Google is your friend to be honest with you in many of these cases, but yeah, very good point I my first place would be the Sands Institute Yes Yeah, very quite challenging. I know I do carry out audits and assessments, but not on code as you've probably gathered Not unless it's got a rubber keyboard. I might have a chance without you understanding what you're writing, but Very challenging Yeah, now there are various tools out there and in fact one and Coincidentally, it's from an organization called Sigital again They have an application that will actually sit on top of your coding platform, whatever that might be And obviously it's got to be customized for that particular platform and as you write code if it detects a Vulnerability it will actually highlight it and tell you why it's a vote why it's vulnerable what its implications are and Tell you what you should do to fix it Obviously you can ignore that because it might be out of context, etc. But it's it's a bit like You know, oh, I see you're trying to write a letter clippy coming up and telling you you know Oh, I see you're coding a sequel injection. Would you like some help? It's kind of like that concept maybe a little bit cleverer Yes, it could do it could do but but if nothing else because if if that code is reviewed Two weeks two months later and then taken back to the developer. I don't know, but this is real-time feedback I think in that particular case as regards Not sure I've got a particularly strong answer for you as regards auditing. It's not my it's not my Strength, but you know vulnerability assessments, you know, you can code review code analysis There's a lot of automated tools a lot manual tools my team is based in Miami and Gurgaon in India and they do a lot of this stuff for me You know, I make up for my lack of knowledge by hiring other people who know more than me So but yeah, that's the best I can offer. Sorry. You had a question Yeah, I just waving. Yes Yes, but Metasploit Which is basically HD more? And and everything complies to HD's more more as law There's a phrase that's banded around the security arena, which is basically you must be this tall to ride the internet Which is effectively if you can come if you can code effectively against Metasploit You will code out 90% of the security threats out there because Anybody can pick up Metasploit and load modules in and you know, script kitties, etc That's by volume not necessarily by threats, but by volume. That's what you're getting off So actually that's it's you're right. It is Metasploit, but it's actually does get rid of a vast number There are plenty of other areas for for code reviews But it is you know, it is that height chart of being able to ride on the internet So Yeah Well, that was that was you know, HD more is done, you know So much good for you know web security and internet security But the flip side of course is that anybody can pick up his stuff and start you know hacking in day one I reckon even I could do it if I put my mind to it another weekend and a couple of bottles of wine You know, I could probably use Metasploit as well. I think it's that it's that straightforward So somebody else had a question down here. Yeah In terms of payment gateways, there's news payment gateways like Stripe coming out and there's the sort of PCI compliance around getting those as kind of changing as of next year with like the PCI DSS 3s a cube 3 but the SAQ AEP I think it is like versus the SAQA like When I'm not entirely sure on when to I need to get to PCI compliance A versus AEP especially for stuff like Stripe Like other sort of API based payment gateways now I can see you're hoping for a really helpful answer from me on this And I really hate to disappoint honestly, I couldn't answer that one directly, you know, PCI is not my bag It's we as an organization. It's not something we're involved in I know it I know of it. I'm not any kind of a I couldn't give you any guidance on that I have to say I'm gonna I'm gonna fell on that one but You know reach out to me afterwards it'd be something interesting I'd be listen to you know, please contact me. I'd love to stay in touch It's an education for everybody to be honest with you use these I always like to try and use these opportunities as an education both sides Because a question unanswered is one that I want to know the answer to at the end of the day Right, because I don't want to stand here looking stupid Um, but no the good question. I can't answer it, but do you know ask it again in writing Simple words two or three syllables will be all right That's it. I like TLA's Anyone else Using Somebody is going to Try and use it on every IP address every every IP address on the internet So your server is going to Have it run against it at some point, you know, you know, you know when you see these weird mob messages and say I don't know a word press hack or something like that Maybe someone's trying on the odd jobs It's not it's a part trying it on every user connected to the internet. So it's not a random occurrence So you will every exploit will be tried against your server at some point So 10 years ago security through obscurity there was something in it smaller companies etc Now I think something like 80 percent of all attacks are against smaller companies actually targeted attacks not You know sweeping across they sweep across and find a target and then we'll go and attack it properly But small companies are actually a significant Number or smaller companies are a significant statistic of And subjects of an attack. Sorry. Yes. It's the HVAC company I think the HVAC one it was it Was it a spearfishing attack? I'm not sure No, you're absolutely right the the insider threat. I totally agree and I think you know, perhaps what I should have emphasized I didn't is that you know, um It's not all your fault. All right. It's not all down to cut bad coding or anything like that The significant threat is the insider threat Um, now the insider threat means it's you know, they've got a threat actor inside Who will then attack your SQL server through a SQL injection attack if you sort of mean so just because it's sitting inside doesn't mean you can Be lazy about coding if you sort of move but the actual source of the attack That means they've got they've already got access to these things in the first place But it's like and I don't like the term, you know, the onion skin approach to defence in depth I mean, it's a little bit dated. It shouldn't really be like that It's um, but if you can stop them at the first hurdle You know, then you're well for a start you've got a you know a clean bill of health straight away If you sort of mean it should be rather than having to have defence in depth and having You know seven eight nine ten layers of different things to get to just secure by design Just make it secure in the first place and then there wouldn't be the sequence of vulnerabilities Even if they are Even if they are sort of spearfishing attacks or password reuse You know by making sure you can't have password reuse across multiple systems is security by design You know the Social engineering attacks by making sure that people are trained to recognize social engineering attacks is security by design It doesn't have to be code or technology. It can be awareness as well Um, so yeah, if if I gave the impression actually, it's all your fault. That's not the case at all You play an important part alongside with everybody else. I say you as developers I'm assuming everybody here is a developer, right? Am I the only one who's not? Oh, lovely Okay, um, so, uh, so yeah, it's it's but it's it's an important and vital role Uh that that we play in this


Oh, thank you so much How do you feel having your first major title?  I've just really enjoyed it red letter day I think I better buy a ticket for the lottery That's right. Could all be happening today for you. I could be this could be my red letter day of all time So how did it feel at the presentation getting getting that buckle? I'm still trying to believe that really happened.  So this morning. I was thinking I just hope I get a good check in the senior not win It so this was just such a wonderful surprise I knew the mirror was that good. It's just me right? Well, and you won quite convincingly something like four points in between you and second Place awesome. It's so fun. So take us through your run Describe how it was from cat a cow Okay, you're asking a lot because honestly I had to watch the the run on video to remember the cattle I did watch the cattle. I did know which ones they wanted us to run to work I was just worried about cutting clean stopping the cow on each end And not making all the bobbles that I seem to make so it just all came together So who helped you out with your cow choice? Okay, so Cara Brewer trained my horse and she's the most amazing trainer ever She just trains a really wonderful cow horse No bells and whistles.  They're the best cattlemen ever and then Casey Green. So he's new to my team Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful young man and very very helpful talks. Talk me through the whole run courage me You know gave me, you know step up that type of thing. Do you get nervous? I don't anymore, but I've done this for quite a while. I used to get so nervous My hands and feet my lips would go numb. So now I don't do that anymore. So what's changed just experience You know what it's just fun. I just realized this is this is a fun thing to do. Why do I get so nervous? I wanted to enjoy every moment of this and I did So you took a little pressure off yourself. I did I did I also now do yoga So I did some of my yoga breathing and in thinking clean slate go out there. Just do the best I can yeah, the breathing is actually very effective I don't think people really realize sometimes how much it helps you to focus and Get over some of those nerves tell us about your horse Well, I just bought her I've only had her a couple of months Kara had called me and said Sue I want you to come down and try a couple of four-year-olds I think they would fit you really well and we had just sold our big horse farm And so I hadn't been riding for a while and I was ready for a four-year-old thought that would be really fun Went down to a show got a permit tried the first horse didn't get along with her like I thought I would and she said okay, this is the horse.  I felt so comfortable on her super smooth super well trained That was it wrote the check and here we are good chemistry. You're gonna keep showing the source Oh, I want to give up my day job and just go haul and show her so so you might be hitting the road next year No, I'm just kidding. I'm a dentist. I've got to keep my practice going, but this was so fun I'm looking forward Every time I get to get honor is gonna be so much fun and such an honor to be able to ride a mirror like this Congratulations again. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Thank you And can I give a big shout out to Karen Scott and Tommy and KC for helping me and my husband Who wasn't here by the way's wife is she so


Here from Minnesota, majoring in business and marketing education. 20 and all this season, substantially great. Number two, previous country's businesses in the big 10. He was the champion. I'm sorry, but the intuition number one is double A. From St. Michael, Albert Grill, Minnesota, please welcome Michael Orr. 41 final, this is the battle for number one in the country. Russell's number one right now, Orr's number two. What if they both lose? It's hard to do. You're gonna see a lot of left-handed front headlocks from Thorne and a lot of duck unders from Kellen Russell. Just maybe one duck under from Kellen Russell. Russell's gone through Varela and Alton to get here. Crazy match with Alton. Last 45 seconds are super exciting. Go check it out on Flow. Thorne goes through. Kimmerer and Mangrum hadn't been tested yet. Safe to say he'll get a test or two here. Fall 10th, 17th for Thorne. 5-0, 14-0, 3-2, 4-3 for Russell. Nice, get the back to it. Take it out. It's looking at the bracket and didn't see it. It's a little like Kellen Russell does. Can't get Kellen Russell a lead. Keep coming in at the first period. He's so good at ice and match. Ooh, nice little change over there. Oh, it's good. He's got that wrist outside the body, man. He will get it up and snake away. Get the half on the other side. That does not feel good on the shoulder. Let it work. Let it work. Get the half on the other side, Kellen. Get it deep, Kellen. It's on the back. Get the half. Get it deep. There you go. It's on the back. Get the half. Get it deep on the other side. Russell trying to get a little. Use your heel. Use your heel. Get the half. Get the half on the other side, barred arm to the far side. He'll put half here. He's got a minute of riding time. One minute. There you go. Get your heel in. At least to see Flieger do this a lot for doing. He would tear from shoulder off thesis. All right, switch off. So the coaches are letting the ref know how long he's been working that series there. It's pretty nice of him. A minute 27 to be exact because that's about how much riding time he has. 41 seconds left in the first. Thorns to his feet. Great mat return. Russell's got some of the best mat returns in the country. That's one of the reasons why he can close a match down so well. 37 a riding time. 2-0 for Russell. 31 seconds left in the period. There you go. Thorns dangerous everywhere, Russell. He does some funky stuff. You got it, you got it. Russell catches in claw there. Russell taking the finals. 10 seconds. Get the rest. Thorns no stranger to the finals. Stay tight. Both are not returning all Americans. Both are all Americans. Thorns last year. Russell's 2 years ago. Probably Thorns best position. He's great with crabs too. Look for him to get a few swipes. This is where Russell, like Thorn likes to be. Deep tight place in the half. Get a little trouble there. Russell's just doing a great job of getting this on you. Throw in here. Run off the stage. Russell Pauls for a second. He's good. Really seeing the chimp come back in the fashion. Everybody's got chimp up. He's responsible for bringing the chimp up. You. Everybody saw you put on Andrew Howe's. I don't know if that's Andrew Howe. Crawl forward, get your knee through. He had to be there before that. It was a chimp help before that. Metcalf probably. He's a chimp type. He's a total chimp. Don't cry. Roll it, roll it, roll it. Sometimes. Change over, change over. Backside half tilt.  Charlie Russell there. Thorns working that ride time down. Stay up, Kellen. Feel that hand, feel that hand, feel that hand. Two. Oh. Completely lost him in that return. Just hit the ride time down. 108 still on the clock. He's a seven second shot. Straight double on the edge. Look at the back of the double. Cross the motion. Heavy hands. 49 seconds left in the period. 3-0 Russell. Double leg. Russell not flashy, but effective. Oh, he's hexed. He's got a chimp cup, I told you. It's kind of like a Sylvester Sloan. Turns the head around and over the top and put the chimp cup on. Turn it into a push. That wasn't scary though. I thought the line was going up. My upper is going to be phenomenal. By the way, look at the NBA. Thorn takes bottom. I'm a little bit surprised. Got ridden out for a long time in the first. Hand control, he's in better position here. Nice redrop to a double for Russell. Stop his first move, Kellen. Shet. Thorn's got to get the takedown before the clock gets down to 30 to a race riding time. Or he's going to have to get two takedowns. He's got a 3-1 match. 125 lift. 125. Circle in, circle in. Back to the center. There you go. Inside top. Oh man. Inside top. Go, go, go. Kellen, it's there. There you go. I'm going to hit Thorn right here. I'm sure that was a left hook to a single one. He's just a great job score on the edge. If he scores this, it's going to be 99% attitude right here. He just kind of forces us on that edge. That's kind of back. Backing up a little bit. They're completely out of bounds. Thorn's got to get out. The clock's going to weigh down. A lot of weight. Thorn's got to get two takedowns. He's got to get a takedown in one second to a race riding time. Didn't get it. It's got to go two takedowns now. End up, keep your feet moving. Or something to his back. Or stop. Go. Go. Russell's going to look for something to do here. Put it on the table.


For me, I didn't realize the intensity and the importance of oral language and how it connects to all the other things that the kids learn. I feel that increasing the opportunity for kids to speak and have more rich language opportunities has helped them to develop their writing skills. I understand that for myself in order to get my head wrapped around a topic or to feel connected with the people that I work with, I want to talk to them and it's the same with students and this project has really reinforced for me that it's the kids that talk the most that learn the most. And so once the students feel comfortable about sharing their thoughts with their friends it builds a sense of community. When they have a chance to teach each other through discussions it will show me how much they know and it can help deepen their own understanding. I feel that our students have really increased their vocabulary and by giving them the chance to talk to their friends within the structured lesson has given them more confidence. They're more willing to put up their hand and share their ideas. In general I find that they're more engaged and less inclined to just zone out and most importantly I think it's really helped them to have a stronger sense of belonging into our classroom. To increase oral language in the classroom over time I've developed specific routines for the students, talking routines. We have AB partners, we have carpet partners, we have turn and talk and they know instantly with cues how conversations can occur and be carried out effectively. So back to your carpet partner this time, outside's talk first. When I say to the kids turn to your carpet partner they know to turn and look at their partner and the expectation is knee to knee, eye to eye and we've talked about the importance of a conversation being you need to look at the person and we rotate through. So everyone over the course of the year has an opportunity to speak with everybody else. The idea of passing a ball back and forth is that a conversation is like a ball game and if you're with someone and you're trying to play catch and one person just throws the ball up and catches it but it's quite boring for the other person. So we actually got beanbags in and we practiced talking, having simple conversations and passing that beanbag back and forth. That really stuck with the kids and that was the light bulb for many of them to just, oh yeah, I can't just talk and talk and talk or I can't not say anything. That was the other piece we said well, if you're throwing the ball to me and I keep looking away or I keep like playing with my fingers or I just never even try to catch it, is it a fun no? We've been focusing a lot on using picture prompts this year and normally I would have students raise their hand and one idea about something that they knew about in the picture and I was trying to make sure that more students had a chance to participate and share but one day we had a picture with a bat in it and one little girl came up and was so excited to share everything she knew about bats and she started talking about an episode of the magic school bus she had seen and how she knew bats were nocturnal and after talking back and forth with her I realized she had a wealth of knowledge, background knowledge about bats that I never would have known so I passed the turn on to another student after she shared her first idea so it really helped me to take the time to strive for five turns back and forth on one topic before moving on to the next one and that has impacted their writing because rather than just stating many different ideas they can take one idea and expand and elaborate on that one idea. The time to talk about content allows them to practice and explore and try out some of that new vocabulary and try out the context how to use it. You jumped in to write what you're excited about you need to greet them. Good morning. For example to increase conversation every morning we do a meet and greet and that's where we practice our initial conversation skills so the students use the carpet partner routine and they turn, they greet their partner by name and we've practiced looking at people and sharing a conversation and that also has increased the sort of turn taking the back and forth that we want more than just hi how are you good conversation over the more back and forth the better. We're going to read a new book today and it's called Jeremiah Learns to Read. Some of the best strategies that I've learned through this project have been strategies through storytelling and nursery rhymes I found that using storytelling in nursery rhymes can really help to build background knowledge and another thing that we've been able to use a lot were props like puppets and visuals and these props can really help the shy learners even have the courage to speak up and tell their thoughts and ask their questions about the narratives that we're talking about in class so it's been really great. We tried some webbing where I would web out the main idea and show them specific ideas trying to encourage them to not just write a list about what they did over the weekend but to tell a story what I have found that is when I give them the chance to turn and have an actual conversation about their weekend then rather than just coming up with that one main idea as they chat with their friends they've come up with so many specific ideas about that one topic which has really helped to make their journal letters far more interesting before I had the same number of kids who always had their hand up the same number of kids who were quiet and listening I hoped that they were listening now I'm finding that all of my kids want to share their ideas and I just feel that they have a stronger sense that they really belong in our classroom and working in a transient community that's really key especially for my newer students and during the year I think one big concern teachers have with oral language is that things will just get away on them and there is an ability to create routines that the students feel comfortable in and also allow you to maintain a level of control in your class and back to me
