Okay, and I will call the October meeting of the community television to Santa Cruz to order. It's 501. Will the secretary call the roll. Yes, sir. I'm here. Director Masiar's present director hall here, director manhain here, director O'Driscoll here, director Shaw, director Godger here, director Granados. Director Warren here. Oh, okay. There she is. Okay. Note for the record that director Granados has joined us. Hi Christina. So move on to oral communications. Any person may address the board during its oral communications period. All oral communications must be directed to an item not listed on today's consent or regular agenda, and must be within the jurisdiction of the board. Any. Seeing none. We have consideration of late additions to the agenda additions and deletions to the consent and regular agenda. I'll just note, note that there's been a request for my Keith for some information it'll just come under announcements. We don't really need to put it on the agenda but we'll have it under announcements. So we'll move on to the consent agenda and I'll, I'll note that item number four we've added. This is kind of a procedural item, just under Robert's rules of order, really we should approve the meeting agenda as, as we move forward. I'll move the consent agenda and I'll say just two words on the finance committee report. So that's an item there and then we have approved board meetings of September 27, 2021, and approve the finance committee, just hot off the presses finance committee recommendation to accept September 2021 financial reports. So that's the consent agenda and I'll say just two words on the finance committee report to give everybody a little background. I'll second. Okay. We have a motion by director hall and a second by director, director, director hall. So far our finances are doing well the office space rentals are a little behind but other income is going up so so far this year we're, we're coming along pretty well so that was basically the sum total of a half hour discussion at the finance committee meeting today so I just wanted to give you a brief update and that and we have two fine other members plus our chair and they look at these reports in great detail and we have a great accountant so it's nice to be in a position to know we're we're being responsible and at this point we're being fiscally sound. Thank you. I just had a quick question and I probably could have asked Google but um, you know, I used to look at when I first joined the board I used to look at the finance reports a lot more closely and then I joined the finance committee and saw how closely the finance committee people were looking at the financial so then I realized I don't need to look at them so closely now that I'm not on the finance committee, but I was just looking over them today and there was a mention of a CDAR. I guess what a CDAR is. Becca can explain it but I could too but she's the one that does the CDARs. Joe is better than me he led me down the garden path to CDARs he and Keith. The insurance that you can get when you put money in the bank is only your money is only insured up to $250,000 so we have more than that. So what we do is we put them that money in in a vehicle or an instrument I guess they call it called a CDAR and that and that is it's a CD that's registered at a different bank. So the money doesn't have to. We don't have to have a bunch of bank accounts at different banks so that we have $250,000 in each bank. We just have it in CDARs that way we can control them at our current bank, and, and we do we watch the interest and try to get some. And so they, they mature pretty quickly because I'm always afraid to have them locked into some low amount and suddenly things get better. So we, we have a couple of them. That's where our savings is basically. And so they're then FDIC insured each as they don't exceed 200. Okay. Thank you so much. Okay. Great. So did we have, I guess we have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda. I guess we have a vote. We need to call the roll or can we just do a voice. I think for consent we can do voice. Okay. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All right. Approved unanimously. Okay, let's move to the regular agenda and we'll start out with the executive director's report, a copy of which is in your packet. Becca. Yeah, so I'm going to give you my report and I have added some things since I wrote it because more things came to mind than I thought you might like to know about so there's some additions here. And also there was a blank. I was waiting for information that didn't come. And I fired off my report with a question mark in it. So I'll get to that. Under administration in staff we are hiring a new video technician. So if you know of anybody, let them know we are looking for a new, a new person we had a staff member depart and so we're filling that spot. We are now it's great we're able to do all of our government meetings, including the board of supervisors with one operator for a while we were using to because the zoom part was so tricky. And once we start doing hybrid meetings which are sort of a zoom meeting within a live meeting now or it's like a Venn diagram of meetings. And that was really tricky but we've got it ironed out now and the county is doing a lot of their own zoom activity we still do the we still set the meetings up for them, and use our account for the recordings but they man them themselves so they're they've gotten really good at it so we don't have to have an operator back them up. And that's great for us that is a big move forward and under revenue. We just ended the first quarter of our fiscal year and I'm happy to say that we earned 26% of our annual budget so 1% over. So, we only spent 22% of our annual budget for expenses so a little bit under there so all even out in the end but it's good first quarter I want to let you know that because Joe mentioned that we're not doing as well as we like in the working center but we're making up for it with our captioning service and our, our meeting service and our other like not production but documentation service. So we're, we're, we're doing fine. Our, the co-working center in fiscal year 2020 2021 did pretty well and actually earned 112% of its projected budget. So that that is good. And hopefully that'll be the outcome of this year and next month we'll have full numbers for the whole organization for the fiscal year we just don't have the year and numbers put together quite yet. And the co-working center the break even number is $10,000 a month it's back up now, and in September we earned 91 so a little bit under but like I said we're making it up in other categories. Underpaid services we did 18 government meetings that's the surprise magic number that you didn't get. We did do a paid production. It was someone who wanted to, who did an event on their own about fire safety and got the fire department to come and talk and apparently it was a great event I've heard from friends who went to it. It was a great event and Victor and his team have it live streaming, and then later we put it on television so so it was a good event and it was good information to give to the community. And it was one of, we're able to do live streaming from outside the building now so that's a that's a really good thing that Victor and his team have done a really good job putting that together and making it work. And things in progress that we have going on our, we have a fiscal sponsorship that I've mentioned before we're getting closer on doing that we've got all the documents ready and we're about to sign off so that'll be a good first project for us it's not huge. And it's easy, it's within easy control for Mel, and you know this is a good beta test for us on this make sure we have all our ducks in a row under facilities and equipment. We are working on the installation for the new telecast equipment, most of it we have now, and we are doing me weekly meetings. And we expect to be done by the end of the year. And it's not there's a lot of exciting stuff happening now we're just planning one of the things they're working on is the trends. The migration they call it of all of the content we have now from one. platform from the Telview platform which is connect in the cloud to to the new thing that we'll be using and that's being coordinated now Victor's doing most of the work but we have other another engineer backing him up. And they I spoke to them about that this morning and they, they, they see no problems. In July we started inspecting all of our equipment that we rent and that members use, and we've been repairing and replacing things and now by now by this time and by September we got through all of the camera kits and all of the tripods. And we're now working on microphones. And we had 30 tripod so it's not it sounds like we haven't done much but we have a lot of equipment under building security we've had another break in of our storage container. The burglar took a bunch of cables probably thinking that there was copper in them sometimes that happens. The security company did not see it. And, although they recorded it, but the way the cameras work they only see a flash if somebody's moving and to them it didn't look like anything serious. So we've spoken with them and we're working on a new plan to make it to make our area more secure we're going to be moving around some cameras that are pointing at things that are not that important. And that's kind of an ongoing process we're also entertaining possibly a gate at the front or a fence around the place that would allow people to come in with their father that lets them in the door would open the gate they could come through at night during the day the gate would be open of course. And then, and there are some possible other ideas of maybe having a patrol for a short time at night just to get the word out that there's somebody there. There is another system where we could actually speak to people. But the company is hesitant to do that because there are apartments around us, and it's apparently is really loud. So we are going to continue to pursue ideas and I think we're going to talk to, I'd like to talk to a consultant and just get a really good look at our building the vulnerabilities, you know how and and what exactly is feasible what can we do because a fence you know some people think that people just hop over a fence. And my thought is, it's a deterrent people, people now I think are just free to walk into our building and look around and see what there is and if they then they find something and try to take it or try to harm it. And if they couldn't walk in, then they wouldn't know it would be worth hopping over that fence. And see Larry's hands up. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Was was the break in this inside the building or outside the building outside we have a big okay I just wanted I heard you say coming into the building and I was a little confused so have we have have all the break ins been outside in the storage container.  I've never been able to get in but they have caused plenty of damage outside not only that but they've broken into our fiber connection they broken into our electrical box they took the battery out of our generator, they turned off the water to the building, then they turned on water and just let it run all night so there's lots of mischief, in addition to that. And so we're, I'm going to continue to work on that and and I'll keep you apprised as we go forward, and you'll probably have to vote on some of the things. So, there are nothing's happening yet. You'll certainly be involved. We had more loss this month as we had a local nonprofit rented some equipment for an event and the event turned out to be a not a very safe place. And I guess traditionally it was but things changed as the homeless camps moved around and all the equipment she rented was taken. And so that that organ is that I've been working with them and they will pay for the equipment. And then we also one of our youth grants. Someone stole 12 of the 25 iPads that we lent them, and they will pay for those as well so will, we haven't lost anything but it just kind of sad that those things happened. And all that equipment has been replaced we went ahead and replaced it, and we'll be paid back for it soon. Director Laurent has a question again. Yeah, sorry. This happens to hit a little close to home here too. So, do we do you have anything on the iPads to any software to disable their use or because these are grant ones we don't do things we don't like to do. I think I've just investigated that with Apple with having something like that on them they have find my iPad on, but the real heavy duty like wipe them clean from a distance stuff is just way expensive and very intricate and takes almost another person to run it and I when I Yeah, very much so I just didn't know I mean I think if they if they what we have for internal things but I think with the grant stuff it could be a little difficult. But it is the one thing that we have that we did was the iTunes the iPads don't have anything on them. There's no, no cool stuff except for they have I movie on which is a free app, but to get anything else on you need to have the Apple ID. And they have an Apple ID and I just changed it so Apple knows they're owned by somebody else. So, but, you know, they're probably, they will, they were probably hacked. I could tell that they never came on because my iPad will tell me someone just turned on your iPad and Gilroy or whatever. And so I know so I think they quickly were spirited out of the county and somebody probably hacked them and cleaned them off. But, yeah, we don't have a lot of recourse there to track them down. Sadly, we have find my iPad but that's it. So the last thing on. Oh, I've got a couple of things there's the last thing on the, the report that you have from me is outreach and we did kind of a synopsis report to the county about our youth grant program because we've added a couple of parts to it. There are some new Board of Supervisors members some new supervisors that didn't know about the program so we put together a document to tell them what we're doing and how how it evolved. And then we also I met with digital nest, a couple of times because they are interested in a new grant, but our studio grant as it was doesn't seem to be relevant now. So I'm talking to them about what kinds of things they do with the equipment and what kinds of productions they're trying to do and maybe changing the things the pieces in that grant I'm going to talk to some other. I'm going to talk to Joel Domhoff and also Watsonville High School, there's a new teacher there and see how they're using it and what they could use because I think it's five years, you know stuff changes and we should just be reviewing that and make sure that the grant is really that the kids get jobs in the future. We don't want them to work with equipment that doesn't make sense. And the final thing I wanted to add in the area of grants is that we had the animation grant is going and it is at the library and I don't have information much information about it right now because this is a September report so everything that happens in October will you'll hear about next month but one thing that was interesting came up that Keith got a note from some from a senior who said that she was sad that the program was only for kids and could we do one for seniors. And that's something we might want to consider the diff the thing that we would need to do if that was something that we wanted to do be talk to the county because the money that we do have that we have money to do that grant but it's earmarked for students. And if the if the gears already at the library and the students have already used it for that week I don't know why we couldn't let seniors use it but I think we need to, we probably need to talk to the county and see what they think, and Keith has some thoughts about that as well. And that's the end of my report. All right, thank you. Yeah, I would like to get the board's feeling about this we have a specifically have a youth grant program equipment aimed at nonprofits serving you. The grant came in to serves youth at the library. And now there's a request that we serve adults at the library with the same equipment. The equipment will be used starting this month to December, probably January or February at a different branch, and then back at this branch maybe in March or April. So the question I just would like to know a few from the board is if it ends up being okay with our county overseers. How does this board feel about our youth grant being sandwiched in training adults to. So that's my question. Yeah. My feelings are that, you know, as long as the use is not going to take away from the use of the youth right if, if the equipment is available and it's being used as much as the organization can use it for the youth why not use it also for adults and especially, you know, seniors. That would be my feeling to Christina I recognize your hand. Yeah, I was well said I was going to do the same thing and also I think it would be interesting to at least. If that's the case to at least try just to get a feel for what the demand might be there might be other opportunities to expand the grant to provide those services more. I just agree with the last two speakers I think they said it well. You do agree. Yes. It sounds like you said you disagree. I just agree. I agree. Yeah, so one thing I mean I think I think it's great to see what you know for the youth and the young at heart for sure. And, but I do think it'd be interesting to see what kind of demand there is because you could do something at community television if that's the you know moving forward if that's the direction that you know that that might be kind of an entry point for some other people to kind of get more involved in the organization as well. The issue would that be and we might be able to overcome the issue but the library provides a teacher that they pay. Yeah, and we don't have that ability. I mean unless we can get our, we have people on the board who could do that work. But they do a lot of other work so I don't know if we could get board members to volunteer but one thing we don't have is money to pay teachers. Mr. Mannheim. I think it'd be worth talking to our county. Folks and see if they would, if given. We have. We've had the youth grant program now for I'm going to guess it's been four or five years, five years and, and the first two years we had applicants. It's only a limited number of organizations that can take on that role of both, you know, managing the equipment and providing the training that we, we could talk with them and see if they would, how they would feel about changing that grant to be both a, a, it's always been youth organizations or educational organizations and maybe add libraries into that as another sort of organizational institutions within the county that have the capability of both managing equipment and providing some training. And so that they become the library or systems become a part of the program, because there's a lot of money building up in that program right now. So you're saying we put them in the libraries and let anyone could use them, not just use. Yeah, I mean I, I, you know, there may be, leave it up to the libraries to prioritize times for use for kids for for youth versus for adults. But from our perspective leave, you know, have it be that a library system can be another organization that we add into the program. Richard Hall and then Director O'Driscoll. I just wanted to give a plug to the library instructors because they've been doing zoom classes all throughout pandemic and my wife and I have been on a lot of them. And I've learned a lot and there's maybe 20 people or so on each of the calls I don't think I've seen one in a while. But they do have the ability and their instructions are very good and they're very patient with people who are learning. Janice. I was just going to back up what everyone is saying the library has been doing this for a number of months. The people that are doing the training right now are skilled and actually public libraries think that they are educational institutions. It would be good to name them precisely, but yes. Yeah, great. Keith. Just to point out a small point here that the actual grant organization in this case is the friends of the Santa Cruz Public Library. And that this is being offered is what's called community sponsored programming through the library. And there's a little bit of confusion right now as to how the community is going to sponsor programming so this is sort of a test to see how the library likes us bringing in this kind of training. I think it's going to go well I mean I'm working hard to make sure that everybody involved knows what's going on. But if that's that's where the money to play an instructor would come from. I want to point out that one of our directors who's not here Elizabeth has volunteered to teach this first class and it's not being compensated. So I don't think it's what I mean I have to ask her but I don't feel it's fair to her in the long run to just keep piling more on to her. She's a very busy person. So I've already spoken with the president of the capital chapter of the friends of the library and they're also interested in possibly doing an adult class. So if we need an instructor for adults, I think we can get that covered that way. And then, as I mentioned before, I think it's going to the salva in the beginning of the year and if we need to pay an instructor they're also willing to pay an instructor. So this is a learning experience I hope it goes well it starts Saturday and I'm nervous. There's a lot of things that are new here. And we're going to hope that they all work because if they do then the library will be happy and we'll have more of these programs the friends will be happy and hopefully community TV will be happy. Just as another note, if you go to the class sign up on the library website the first thing it says this program is made possible by a grant from community television, and the friends of the Santa Cruz Public Library. Very, very nice. Good branding. Becca. Yeah, there's one thing that we, if we work with the libraries and I think that's a great idea because they can, they can check out equipment and they can. They can train. We in whenever we grant equipment to any place they have to give us back content. So it would have to be a program where the library was teaching and kids made things or adults made things and then we put them on television. So there were and they ought to be fabulous things, or even very long, but, but they need to be like, you know, a minute or something each, each student would turn out a minute a video that we would upload as a part of our program but the only way we can do the granting of equipment is by getting programming and exchange. That's fair. That's great. Yeah, I think that's a fair, fair trade. Any other comments on this subject good discussion. Thank you. Becca and we'll move on to the Education Committee report. I will recognize David Warren, I think, or Keith. Well, a lot happened during our meeting. Keith and I. Essentially, the more important thing I think is is that I spoke with Jason Borg and at the COE, he's the chief technology and innovation officer. And he was, he's very interested in partnering with community TV. And Elizabeth has made an appointment for us to speak on Friday. Get together. And it's, I think it's all very a positive thing. And he might like to apply for one of the future pieces so that he can learn, they can get people to train others on how to use it. I did some background research on community colleges across the country. And basically, with a few exceptions, most of those community colleges that were involved in open access TV also combined that with their digital media programs for film and video broadcasting. Some colleges were offering it through journalism. And we thought that that's our avenue with primarily getting a whole new program started is an enormous undertaking and takes a long time. But if we have access through journalism, I think that's a positive thing and we're going to pursue that. I did talk with the head of the journalism department and he is interested. So we'll have to see what works in that regard. And that's kind of it in the nutshell. We're looking forward to this meeting. Also, Nick Abara is their PR officer. He's for marketing at COE and he's interested in streaming from what would be essentially town halls and student vaccine initiatives. So if that's agreeable to everybody else, I will pursue that as well. That's good. That's that's basically it. Any questions or comments. I have a comment. It's just really heartening to sort of hear a focus on reaching out to the educational community and doing more in terms of connecting CTV and our mission with the educational community. I've been on the board for a long time and we've always been aware that it was an area that we could do more in but it's and now it's we're starting to see a focus on it and it's I really appreciate it. Alright, thank you. Moving on to the board chairs comments I will note that director manheim has been on the board for a long time and sadly is going to be leaving us in a couple of months due to term limits. I also would like to recognize them when we when we approve the minutes by a consent agenda those were authored by director manheim and I don't think there's any connection with the fact that he did that and that he's terming out that just happens to happen at the same time so I don't buy it. So, note, we do have an interested party in returning to the board after a year away and we're also have an open spot. So our next meeting will be confirming some new board members can re upping basically some board members and we bringing on a new board member and I think there is an open spot in that large position. So if anyone knows of somebody who might be a good fit and be interested that I guess me and Becca know and we can pursue that. That's the, the gist of my report. I need staff requests or board member requests for specific items to appear on the next meeting agenda. So we will be talking about board people next time. Announcements that Keith I believe you have an announcement. Yes, Becca, handle one of the announcements I had about the fact that adults were interested in the program which was great. One of the things I want to mention is that we did a nonprofit spotlight on the friends of the Santa Cruz Public Library, and our director Janice was the star of the show. And I'm able to report that the board of the friends is very happy with the results. In fact, the board member asked me to come back and excerpt the two minute section they could use for their capital campaign that's ongoing right now. Excellent. So I was happy to do that. We're hoping to get another organization for another nonprofit spotlight this week. And we're trying to schedule with Ferris Seba, an elected spotlight that we're going to kind of morph it's because going to run it as elected spotlight, but hopefully it'll sort of prime the pump for doing some other education related shows, maybe education spotlight maybe something else but I hope to get that done. We were supposed to do that Wednesday but he had to cancel so sometime next week. And that's, that's the announcements I have thanks. Great. Thank you much. Director Masiars. Yes, maybe I should have asked during Becca's report but so I'm just curious about the status of the studio in terms of members volunteers. In the report of the volunteer advisory committee and I know I think last time you mentioned that there was not a whole lot of interest or some interest in some producers of getting back into the studio. What's the current status on that if I may ask at this time. Are you asking Keith. Keith, aren't you the volunteer advisory committee chair, or if either wants to answer I'm just kind of curious. I mean, I, from what I understand is the state no longer has tears listed is that true, but the CDC does and I believe we're still in the orange tier for CDC. So we're going to use that as our requirement we got to be in yellow before the studio is open. And yes, Richard and Phil both want to come back. But hopefully they'll understand that we're not ready to do that just yet. Well, I thank you for keeping the lights on you and Becca with the in house programming the elected spotlight and glad those have continued to go to go on during this crucial time. Indeed. All right well thanks everybody. Any other final comments observations. Anything I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Move. All right, director manheim. I'll second that. I think I've got my machine on second there. All right, all in favor. Hi. Hi. Thanks everyone. Good discussion. Bye. See you next month.


Hi, I'm Rick Ozzie Nelson. I'm director of the Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Program here at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Today we're fortunate to be joined by Shmendra Paul, the program manager for the information sharing environment. Shmendra's responsibilities include facilitating the sharing of information relating to homeland security, weapons of mass destruction and counterterrorism between the federal, state, local and private sector partners. Recently at CSIS we had a conference on information sharing. The keynote speaker was General Clapper, the director of National Intelligence. So Shmendra, thanks for being here today. Ozzie, thank you for having me here today and thanks to you and CSIS for hosting that wonderful event just a little while ago. You know, Shmendra, during the conference we heard a lot about, you know, the significant efforts we've made in information sharing since 9-11. What are some of the examples that you point to that demonstrate to success as the government's seen? Well, the success that I'd like to highlight is the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative, or NSI. NSI just codifies what police officers have been doing in their communities for over 150 years. Walking a beat, patrolling in a radio car, looking for suspicious activity, and taking action to protect the communities. We've trained over 200,000 police officers across the country in the behavior-based standards for suspicious activity reporting. Privacy policies in place across the country in the different fusion centers. It's a, in a nutshell, neighborhood watch for the nation. In addition, though, it works. Many of the disruptions that you read about in the newspaper come from either directly out of the NSI or from SAR-like activities in local police departments. Thanks, Shmendra. We also heard, though, there was, you know, some criticism as far as things we still need to do regarding information sharing and some progress that has to be made. Can you show us, demonstrate some of those areas? Yes. When you think about the challenges that face the information sharing environment or mission partners, federal, state, local, tribal, far and away the biggest challenge is the budgetary headwinds, the current financial environment. It's been pretty clear that the year since 9-11, a lot of money has gone into federal agencies run counterterrorism, homeland security type applications. So as money is cut, gee, there's actually in addition to the challenges an opportunity towards using shared services, standard approaches, virtualization, cloud computing, things like that. So it's a real challenge, but also a real opportunity. It's something that we've been focused on with our looking at standards and now moving towards procurement and strategic sourcing, leveraging those standards with our partners in the industry. Since the WikiLeaks, alleged WikiLeaks incident, there's been a renewed focus on finding the right balance between information sharing and information security. To this end, President Obama is well aware, established an executive order which established the classified information sharing and safeguarding office, and they actually located that inside the ISC, inside your office. Can you give us an update on where you are with the CISO? Yes. The government did a broad structural review post WikiLeaks, and we last year stood up and integrated CISO or the classified information sharing and safeguarding office as our part of the government's response. You know, it's important to recognize with the government's response here, there's a complete commitment to information sharing. It's a one-way street. You need to share information to support the mission, but we have to do it responsibly. Some people have talked about a trade-off between sharing and safeguarding. We don't look at it that way. Our perspective, and really it's a perspective shared across the government, is that you have to do both. Responsible information sharing is derivative of effective safeguarding. Things like improving identity management, attribute-based access control, locking down removable media, and a variety of other things that we've put into motion. The private sector plays a big role in information sharing in your efforts, and 85% of the critical infrastructure in the United States is owned by the private sector. It's been widely reported. What kind of initiatives are underway to enhance that relationship, and what's the status of those efforts? That's a great question. We absolutely have to work with our partners in the private sector. We colloquially refer to it as critical infrastructure or key resource sectors. I talked earlier about the nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative. There's a big effort underway now to expand that more fully to what we refer to as our hometown partners. Fire, EMS, 911 operators, and security personnel in critical infrastructure key resource sectors. There's about 2.2 million security guards, for example, across the country. It's critical that they're fully integrated into the national information sharing architecture. So we're working through those sort of things right now. Well, Schmender, as always, it's great to see you, and for those of you that are watching, we also have all of the panels from that day, including the keynote from General Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence. Schmender is Paul's more detailed conversation with him and David Shed in the White House representation, available on our website at csis.org.

Let's take a look at the four Pac-Man games on Super Nintendo, starting with Pac-Attack, also known as Pac-Panic, developed and published by Pac-Man founder Namco, and yeah, as you can see, this is not what immediately comes to mind when you think of Pac-Man, sure it's a single screen puzzle game, but it's not, you know, Pac-Man, so it's kinda weird. This was actually adapted from another Namco game titled Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, and refitted with the Pac-Man motif. It's your typical Tetris style game with a twist where some of the blocks contain ghosts, and every so often one block contains Pac-Man, so the goal is to set up a sequence where you give Pac-Man an opportunity to eat as many ghosts at once. This fills up what's called a fairy meter, and when it's full, a fairy appears, gets rid of all the ghosts in an eight line section, and joins the remaining lines and simplifies the board, making it easier to clear the screen. Normal mode just has you keep going as long as you can, as the speed increases, while puzzle mode has a stage structure where you clear ghosts on a series of screens, and of course there is a two player versus mode as well. This game is pretty good, but I had a hard time getting used to this one, mostly because I had a tough time picking up on what Pac-Man's patterns were, so I could be able to set up everything the right way. I'm sure that's just a me problem, but still, this one can be pretty tricky. Pac-Attack also appeared on Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Game Boy, and even the CDi. It's also appeared on like a half dozen Namco compilations, so this one isn't hard to find. Pac-Attack won't blow you away or anything, but it's still a solid puzzle game. And we only get weirder from here with Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures. This one was also developed and published by Namco, but again it's not at all what you'd expect from a game with Pac-Man in the title for better or for worse. Believe it or not, this is a point and click adventure game with some platforming elements here and there, a little bit like Pac-Land, a 1984 arcade game that saw Pac-Man reinvented as a Mario style platforming hero, but this game is way further out there. Okay, so I'll put it bluntly, this game is kind of horrifying. From the way Pac-Man talks to some of the visuals, Pac-Man 2 is such a strange trip. Why didn't God's name just happened? Anyway, the game itself isn't all that bad, you start out with a slingshot just shooting anything on screen in order to trigger something, anything to happen, including these power pellets which apparently grow on trees? It's news to me. These are power-ups that turn Pac-Man into Super Pac-Man and he can fly around and eat ghosts, but the visuals here are just so unsettling, I can't get over it. The thing is with this game, you never have any direct control over Pac-Man, in fact you're tasked with keeping him in a good mood so he stays responsive, kind of like the Super Famicom game Wonder Project J. For example, you can keep him happy by shooting apples off of trees he can pick up and eat, then he does this bizarre nightmarish march, dear God. You do random tasks across town, everything from moving someone's couch to getting milk for Pac-Baby, what's weird is that sometimes you have to risk pissing off Pac-Man in order to accomplish what you want, like shooting at this bird who then knocks over a bottle so you can get milk, but after that make sure you get an apple or two to cheer him up, so this is a game of management so to speak.  It isn't until this minecart section here where the game finally settles in a bit, this section becomes a gallery shooter where you're shooting ghosts and dodging rocks on the cart path, there's also this hand gliding section here that's pretty fun, but before long it's back to this point and click mood management game where you're shooting anything and everything and hoping it works to your advantage, when all else fails just turn into Super Pac-Man and eat some ghosts I guess. Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures is one of the most intensely bizarre games I've ever played, from the gameplay structure to the artwork to the sound effects to the sprite animation. I gotta say I have to recommend this one because it's so weird, even though it has a lot going against it, for one thing it's very slowly paced, so you gotta stay patient with this one. It would be really handy if the game were compatible with the SNES mouse, but sadly it isn't. Also the game can be pretty unintuitive as you might imagine, it's pretty tough to get a full understanding of what the hell you're supposed to do, it's just one little event after another, sometimes things make sense and sometimes they don't. Eventually you can even direct Pac-Man 2 in arcade where you can play the NES version of Pac-Man, and once you complete the game, the arcade unlocks Miss Pac-Man, so that's a great little touch to include, and despite its flaws I do recommend Pac-Man 2 just because it's so strange and so different from anything else I've played. Next game, Pac-in Time, and this is the first game here that wasn't developed by Namco, instead by Callisto Entertainment. This game is pretty much just a reskin of the puzzle platformer Fury of the Furries, made for Amiga and PC, but Pac-in Time is its own game with newly designed levels, it just copied the mechanics and power-ups and such from Fury of the Furries. You go through 5 different worlds with 10 levels each, and you have to find 30 pellets in every level in order to progress through the game. Once you find the last pellet, an exit door opens up. To get every pellet, Pac-Man can obtain 4 abilities every level by going through a colored ring, green unlocks a rope Pac-Man can use to hang from ceilings and walls, same as you can in a game like Phantom 2040, red unlocks a hammer that you can use to unlock areas, yellow unlocks a fireball attack to destroy enemies, and blue unlocks the ability to swim. And of course, there's power pellets to fend off ghosts. The rope in particular is insane, and you'll be using that the most by far, and it's far from perfect. This is one of those things that's gonna vary from person to person, because you can get the hang of using it, but it's so finicky at first, you'll be flailing around helplessly. This is a fast-paced puzzle platformer that's much harder than it looks, and they did a really nice job with the Pac-Man sprite and the backgrounds and settings, but man, oh man, this game can get really tough and very frustrating. It's a surprisingly deep game with a ton of content, but this is a classic case of your mileage may vary mostly due to the rope power-up. If you have the patience to master that, then you'll really dig this game. Either way, I do think there's enough here to recommend this one, at the very least to play the first few levels to see if it's up your alley. And if nothing else to blast some enemies as Pac-Man, that's something I've always wanted to do. Last but not least, we have the Super Nintendo port of Ms. Pac-Man, and yeah, it's Ms. Pac-Man, what else do you want me to say? It's one of the most famous arcade games of all time, and rightfully so, because it's arguably the best iteration of the original Pac-Man formula out there. And the SNES port is reasonably faithful, but there's four different kinds of mazes available. The original arcade mazes, bigger, smaller, and strange mazes. The Pac Booster is also here, which speeds up the game significantly. There's also co-op and versus multiplayer modes, which is pretty nice. I will say this, if you have a young child that wants to get into retro gaming, but stuff like Mario World or Kirby is still too advanced for them, then have them play this port. It's a simple, focused game that starts out easy and grows in complexity the further you progress. It's a great balance of pick-up-and-play accessibility and under-the-surface strategy. But yeah, with all the extra options here, the Super Nintendo Ms. Pac-Man port is well made and worth picking up. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.


It's good to start five minutes early because typically either you are on time or late right. It's good to start early So how many of you? Develop applications for cloud Okay, and how many of you use Eclipse for developing applications for cloud? Okay, that's good. So did you raise your hands for developing application for cloud as well? Okay, I didn't see that Okay so what we are going to focus on is Developing applications for clouds Using Eclipse. So I'm not going to talk in detail about cloud applications. I'll give an overview just to Just to bring us all on the same page in terms of what are the challenges, right? And then kind of introduce you certain tools and certain actually there are certain top-level projects in Eclipse Which are very much suited for cloud development, right? I want to introduce you the Eclipse cloud development tools as well. So that's the objective of this talk So we'll look at what are applications in the cloud era, right? What is so special about them and then we look at the cloud platform, right? Again, there are varieties of platforms out there We'll take a peek at them and then we will see how to prepare your Eclipse environment to develop and deploy applications to cloud We'll try to develop an online application store online retail store using microservices, right? I can point you to the Article about it, right? All we have is 20 minutes. I don't think we can do that entirely and then of course We want to practice DevOps, right? So I'm pretty sure you would have heard about the term called DevOps, right? It's all about How quickly you can get your changes on to your users, right? the time span between when you make the first the line of Line of code to the time it gets the hands of real users Okay, so what's so special about the applications in Cloud era So let's take the end user point of view, right? So those applications are Available anytime anywhere. It's always on you expect them to be available all the time right unlike the application that run on your desktop, right because It you wouldn't expect that kind of robustness for the application that run on run on your desktop or that kind of availability and The most important kept one of the most important one right refresh Right, you're always using the latest version of the application Right in the case of desktop applications. You typically have multiple release trains going right But in the case of cloud applications, it's all you are always on the latest one and then of course best-in-class Experience whether it is functional experience the features or non-functional experience terms of performance security compliance for example, right and From an app developer point of view and that's what is more important, right from an app developer point of view So no downtime and always the latest So composed of various services. So go on those days where you build this whole application right and of course You're all self-contained, but That will beat the purpose of the very purpose or very objective That's in the first one because no downtime if your application is a single monolithic application You cannot update them in pieces. You have to bring it down before you update, right? so the downtime will increase and Eat service. So this is another Phenomenon that's been happening in the last few years. It's called the polyglot programming, right? So You are a liberty to use Your own technology the technology that you're familiar with, right? It could the language and runtime. You're not tied into a particular language Right or a particular platform So as an application developer, right, you should be able to accommodate all of these right, so For the last one what it means is that you should be able to consume services Which are written in other languages depends on other technologies and runtime. So now let's look at the cloud platform So the first one in the cloud platform is infrastructure as a Right, so that that's the that's the bottom layer, right? And it's all about compute network and storage You can get your systems provision, right? You can add enough memory. You can add enough cores. You can Even provision the IPs on them, right? The virtual IP That's about infrastructure as always, right? And then you have containers Right infrastructure. So we brought VMs, right? Then you have containers What's the difference between containers and VM? They all kind of serve the similar purpose, right? But at different levels containers sit on top of the operating system So in order to run a container, you don't need a operating system license You don't need to worry about patching the operating system, right? So and that's one way for you to package your application and its dependency with the container so that you can move them around right from one VM to another we have and Then comes platform as a service right, so What do they provide they provide you the runtime? Essentially the middleware, right? So you don't have suppose you go for infrastructure. This is how The way the lifecycle for an application goes like this, right? You provision a virtual machine You set up the operating system, right? And then you set up the middleware required which includes the app server which includes the database server and you are entirely responsible for Setting up the right configuration as well, right? Tuning the app server configuration making sure that the compliance levels are met, right and fighting those dark battles right for example Observers have certain things hidden One of them is the class loading order Right, and if you really don't understand some of these The deep technical aspects of the app server you can run into problems When you and it will be very hard for you to diagnose them as well, right? That is where platform as a service come into Come to your help. It gives you the whole environment all you have to do it Worry about the code, right? So it brings in it gives you everything hardware storage network operating system all the way Right, it's a for code and data. That's all you do. So that is that is the cloud platform right So there are a few cloud platforms out there Right, so the there are under the open one called cloud foundry, right? You would have heard about it It's from pivotal IBM worked with pivotal to make it open open source, right and And there are very few for the ones as well, right? For example, there is there is a talk following this for about open ship Right from red hat and then there is Microsoft Azure as well, right? And I'm going to give you an overview of IBM cloud platform, which is called blue How many of you heard about blue mix That's pretty good So I don't that's good news because I don't have to spend that much time on this right I can move or quickly so blue mix provides you from a From an entry point perspective you can get an infrastructure provision from blue mix You can get a container you can have a container hosted on blue mix You can also have your applications hosted on blue mix Right, so those applications could be written in node.js. It could be written in Java. It could be PHP It could be written in even in dot net right, and we also have Apple Swift runtime as well on blue mix. So there is another talk following this in the same track about that so Now coming to dub tooling right so that's the DevOps piece blue mix also gives you the kind of tool that you need to develop applications and to deploy applications right so Blue mix is the platform for you to Where your applications will run it also provides you the fabric around it what in terms of? GitHub right in terms of Jenkins for example the entire delivery pipeline Right, you can set it up on blue mix and then of course This is more for enterprises if you want blue mix dedicated for yourself or you want blue mix for Your own local version that's available as well. That's location and then so is this is the USP of 5 million blue mix, right? There are a host of services from IBM third-party open source or you can upload your own services You can contribute your own services as well, and this is why Cloud computing is so important. I mentioned right applications are composed of services these days, right? And these services make all the difference So you will find services for example from IBM Watson, which gives you the cognitive capability right it's available on this platform and How is it relevant here? The entire IBM cloud platform is based on different different We call we call it open by design And you can see the set of open source tools that form the entire stack Okay, now coming to eclipse cloud cloud development to So As you can see there are five projects which are listed today under the eclipse top-level cloud development project called ECB and you can also see the kind of the Contributions from various organizations who are actively participating in it, right and pivotal IBM could envy SAP ROL key Contributors and interestingly each one is responsible for each of these for example or I am Ryan is from IBM, right? Shea is from code and we Eclipse tools for cloud foundry is from pivotal, right? Dirigible is from FAP and flux is from IBM and Pivotal together, okay, so now let's move on to How do we use it, right? How do you prepare your development environment for? Cloud development so I'm taking you through an example of preparing your eclipse development environment for Deploying your applications on to IBM blow mix And As I mentioned IBM blow mix is based on cloud foundry So you can use cloud foundry tools either integrated in eclipse or through command line to deploy your applications on to Blooms any cloud foundry Tools will work with blooms because blooms is built on top of cloud foundry Right, so the first step is go to the download page download the JEE package eclipse JEE package, which is the Java Enterprise Edition package, right? It contains some WTP WTP is the eclipse that tools platform the entire JEE Development in eclipse is actually built on top of WTP and starting neon We have incorporated the cloud foundry tools for eclipse as part of the JEE package So when you take the JEE package you also get the cloud foundry tools and What we have done is from IBM side we have built Another another set of tools using the cloud foundry tool, right? Which is called the eclipse tools for blooms? So that is more blow mix of where Where the cloud foundry tools give you the ability to connect to any of the cloud phones any? cloud platform or a path which is based on cloud foundry IBM eclipse tools for blow mix is fine tuned for connecting to blow mix as I mentioned, right? You have the eclipse platform and the WTP, right? There were tools platform and then on top of that you have the cloud foundry tools And then you have the IBM eclipse tools for blooms and similarly people tell has additional value added Right, but that's that's not good. I'm going to focus on this the purple boxes in here okay, the first thing you do is go to eclipse marketplace and download eclipse tools for blow mix Right, so I'll take you through a demo of that right so before I get into the demo I just want to pause and just Because the next part is the demo so just want to know whether you have any questions on some of the topics that we discussed Okay, take it as you know that's good Before we get into the sample app Let me Let me check you through the demo Okay, so what do you do is you go to eclipse market plate? So what you do is go to neon go to eclipse marketplace right and it opens up so it's for blow mix and It's a filter so it's for blow mix So you will see two of them listed there take IBM eclipse tools For blow mix for neon and install it. It's pretty simple accept the licensing term and You should be through Okay, then it asks you to restart once you restart you will see get started now Right, so you install the mix tools. How do you get started you bring up? The new server resort right from Okay, so you click on get started and then it the way you use blow mix tools is by using it to Define a new server create a new server in eclipse. So that's the demo. Let's go back to eclipse It should be connected now so once you Install blow mix right you can what you do is new server you have blow mix in here and you enter your Use I mean email id and password which you already registered with Blow mix if you don't have a blow mix account You can sign up right from here and finish that will get you a blow mix node in here Which list the kind of application that you already have Okay, let me connect So once it's connected it's going to Show you all the application that I have on blow mix which is Listed in here on the blow mix page Okay, switch him back to the presentation So any questions about that is setting up your eclipse environment or? Blumix development you install blumix to take GE right and then you install blumix tools on top of that Right, and now I'm going to show you a symbol node based application symbol to track so It actually helps you to analyze the sentiment right it's a sample which is available there you should be able to Google for it and fork it So let's go to eclipse IDE so this is my symbol to trap right and if you Look at my blow mix. It's getting refreshed at this time right and there is the symbol to trap here right and It's already connected right so it's already connected to blow mix I can push my new changes Directly on to blow mix Okay, so this is the so blow mix gives you the nice console where you can look at the various aspects of this Right the health of this app the activity of this app Right and then you can even fine-tune the various aspects about that right for example It'll tell you when that was started right went to a stop Etc. Now let's do one thing.  Olympics thing. I'm pretty fast running out of time. Okay. Let me Exit out the one thing I wanted to show you was I Introduce a symbol root handler which puts up the message right a simple message in here So you can see here, right? I have another version of app running there Right the message right here is friends of eclipse Right, okay, so let's make a change in here. Let's push this up. Let's not worry about anything Let's just push this up right So I'm going to push this up from my eclipse ID on to blow mix Let's look at the application details and you should see it in the activity log as well It's still pushing the app Publishing that 80% so it's uploading the droplet. Let's refresh this page and what does it say about that? So it first is stopped it and then now the app has been started Right So it's done. Let's refresh this handle Message change right so we just pushed it from what we have in eclipse ID So I Had a lot more for the demo But what I'll do now is Let me get on with the rest of the slides and leave you there because Okay, so we looked at that now. Let's look at the microservice samples that I was talking about right so there is a This is an article that we publish already you can Google for it, right? So this is a retail application Online online store where the UI is written in PHP the orders I mean when you click buy the order the generator, right? So that's in Java and the catalog is in Node.js So the good news is you can load up all these projects in eclipse So there is one more thing I did with it with J. I also install the PHP package on top of it, right? So that I can the UI is actually in PHP The UI project is PHP. Oh Sorry, you can't see it So the UI project is in PHP. So I installed PHP on it So I can get the PHP perspective and the PHP development environment here. This is in Java, right? This is this is in Node.js, right and for my Java application is actually My Java application is actually connected as well, right? So this one is connected to the application on Blooming's right so I can push my Java application all these applications right from here So I encourage you to Take a look at what is there, right in in terms of the collateral in terms of the articles, etc, right? Okay Yep, so that's all I had any questions and this was meant to be a teaser so that you can get Get more information later on but I want to drive home one important point Which is you can use eclipse as your development environment for cloud development, right? No matter what language you develop, right? There are the tools these tools that are available And it's not just for IBM Blooming, right? How many of you use? Amazon tools for AWS development in eclipse. I'm sorry for AWS AWS tool Amazon tools, right that you can install in the eclipse so that you can develop applications for Amazon cloud, right? It's available So look at eclipse as your Development environment for cloud. So that's all I had any question Okay, thank you very much


I am here to discuss with you on topic tensile test on steel today. Learning outcomes of today's session, at the end of this session students will be able to explain procedure of tensile test on steel. They will be able to perform tensile test on steel in laboratory. As we know steel is an important construction material mainly used as reinforcement in the form of round bars in concrete and also at different places like roofs, frames, fermentos and so on. Now quality of this steel bars is very important mainly they have to carry tensile load. So, they are tested for tensile strength in laboratory by using relevant IS code. So, the IS codes for testing of steel are listed here. You can see IS 432 1982 is the code for mild steel and medium tensile steel bars and hard drawn steel wires for concrete reinforcement. Today we are dealing with IS this particular IS code as we are studying tensile test on mild steel bars today. So, let us see test procedure. This particular test procedure is according to IS 432 1982. Now aim of today's experiment to study tensile strength of mild steel bar specimen this is the aim. Equipments used universal testing machine universal testing machine you can see here this is the machine which is used for this particular test. Apartus used vernier caliper test specimens etc. then procedure mild steel specimen of say 20 mm diameter is say it is to be tested then diameter of this bar is measured with vernier caliper accurately remember. So, measurement of diameter of the specimen is important. Standard gauge length is marked on the specimen this is next important IS code gives standard gauge length and accordingly the gauge length should be marked and it is 5.65 under root cross section area of bar accordingly this particular gauge length is marked and bar is held in the jaws of the middle cross head and upper cross head. So, firstly it is held in the middle cross head of the UTM formally then middle cross head is taken up and the other end of the bar is fixed in the jaws of the top cross head of the UTM remember. See the specimen is prepared like this its part on two ends is having more diameter and the gauge length part is reduced in diameter. So, that we can get the results for this particular part we are testing the bar for this particular gauge length over which diameter is reduced. So, that we can confirm the failure of bar in this particular region only. Now, for taking strain readings and elongation readings extensometer is also fixed over the gauge length while testing is being performed and loading is given gradually. Gradual loading is given to the bar tensile loading and for every fixed time interval of loading say 20 kilo Newton or so extension of the bar is measured with the help of extensometer it is recorded from the extensometer the extension for each load interval. So, that we can draw stress strain graph or load versus elongation graph and graph is directly available on UTM also which we can validate the results with. Then before actual failure of the specimen takes place remember extensometer has to be taken out. So, as to avoid its damage and then yield point is noted down load at yield point is recorded then ultimate load is recorded breaking load is also recorded. These silent points we will see soon. Naking can be seen clearly before failure in the mild steel as it is a ductile material. Naking means reduction in diameter is clearly seen and before this you have to take out the extensometer and avoid the damage of the extensometer. Now, after failure of the specimen two parts are brought together and their extension in length over the gauge length and reduction in diameter at the failure point is measured. So, these are the readings taken. Now, we will discuss about these different readings in this particular part of slide. Now, reduction in diameter of the specimen is measured. Now, percent elongation of the bar is calculated. How will be the percent elongation calculated? Final gauge length minus initial gauge length divided by the final gauge length into 100 this will give us the percentage elongation of the steel bar remember. And percentage reduction in diameter how it is to be measured? Initial diameter minus final diameter divided by initial diameter into 100. So, this will give us percentage reduction in diameter. Apart from this calculate in apart from these two calculations stresses are also measured ultimate stress yield stress etcetera from the loads which you have obtained in the test. Now, there are certain specifications given by IS-432 part 1 1982 regarding the ultimate stress yield stress and percent elongation for mild steel of grade 1. This particular code gives specifications for bars less than 20 mm and bars more than 20 mm differently little different is there. When bars are less than 20 mm ultimate tensile stress should minimum tensile stress should be 410 410 Newton per mm square. Yield stress should be minimum 250 Newton per mm square and percent elongation minimum should be 23. So, these are the specifications given by IS-432. If bars are more than 20 mm up to 50 mm the ultimate tensile stress should be minimum 410 same yield stress minimum should be 240 little less 240 Newton per mm square and percent elongation is same 23 percent. Now, let us see some silent points on this stress strength curve. So, stress strength curve is very important curve which is drawn after every tensile test. And you will see that for initial portion this particular curve is straight one which shows that stress is proportional to strain up to certain limit say up to point A. So, this particular point A is known as proportional limit. Up to proportional limit the material obeys Hooke's law we know stress is proportional to strain up to proportional limit. Now, beyond proportional limit this point B is there which is elastic limit and up to elastic limit material is said to be elastic that means, if you unload the material here it will regain its original shape and size immediately. So, point B here is elastic limit. Now, once this elastic limit passes here points C and D these are the two points which are called yield points C is the upper yield point D is the lower yield point. In this region what happens load practically remains constant and strain increases continuously. So, here you can see the most part of this curve between C to D is horizontal one. So, at the same loading at the same loading the strain increases considerably. So, it is called yield stress and when higher point at higher point C this particular point is called higher yield point upper yield point and lower point C higher point C and lower point is D. So, C is the upper yield point D is the lower yield point. Then thereafter again stress increases a little till ultimate point is reached and here ultimate stress is obtained. So, maximum stress this is point E where stress taken by the specimen is maximum. And after this certain drop again occurs in the stress and breaking stress is obtained remember after ultimate stress what happens necking starts as soon as necking starts necking means reduction in diameter at the weakest point what happens load decreases a little than the ultimate and this particular breaking load is lower than the ultimate load. So, breaking stress at point F is also found out. So, here is one exercise for you students let us pause the video here a little and solve this particular problem. In a tensile test on mild steel specimen of diameter 12 mm over a gauge length of 100 mm following observations are taken yield load 28.3 kilo Newton ultimate load 47 kilo Newton find yield and ultimate stresses these are the this is the exercise. Now, here we can see the solution cross-sectional area of specimen can be found pi by 4 by d square because it is ground specimen and yield stress is equal to yield load divided by cross-sectional area. So, it is 250.35 Newton per mm square ultimate stress is ultimate load by cross-sectional area and you will get 415.78 Newton per mm square simple is the solution. So, here are two review questions for you solve them as per IS 432 1982 mild steel grade 1 bar of diameter less than 20 mm should have minimum yield strength of dash Newton per mm square pick up the correct answer and as per IS 432 mild steel of grade 1 should have minimum percent elongation of dash pick up the correct answer write your answers answers question number 1 a 250 question number 2 d 23 these are the references for today's session thank you.
