Let's explore binding energy graph and use that to understand nuclei and nuclear forces a little better But before we start a quick recap. What's binding energy? Well, binding energy can be thought of as the energy needed to break the nucleus apart break the nucleus For example, if you take oxygen 16 16 is the mass number meaning total number of protons and neutrons inside of it Then its binding energy happens to be if I just looked it up happens to be close to a hundred and twenty eight Mega electron volt electron world is a very tiny unit of energy and mega just means 10 to the power 6 So this is the binding energy. What does that mean? It means if I were to separate all those 16 protons and neutrons apart I would have to supply 128 mega electron volts of energy this much energy to break this nucleus Another example if I were to take say uranium 235 a very famous Isotope used in bombs and nuclear reactors then its binding energy happens to be a 1786 mega electron volts So what does that mean? This means that if I have to break separate all the 235 protons and neutrons of the uranium break this new uranium it takes this much energy So that's the meaning of binding energy energy near to break the nucleus Okay, a very quick question to you Do you think we can use this to say that uranium is more stable compared to oxygen because it it takes more energy to break? Uranium compared to oxygen. Can I say that? What do you think? Can you pause the video and think a little bit about this? Well, it sounds reasonable, but if you do that oxygen is gonna be very angry at you It's gonna say hey, I only have 16 particles with me So obviously it's easier to break me. Whereas in uranium there are 235 Particles all pulling on each other and keeping each other together. So obviously it's a bigger family. It takes more energy to break it So that's an unfair comparison So yeah, we can't just use this number to compare their stabilities to compare them will have to use same numbers But how do we do that? Well, one of the ways to do that is asking the question how much energy it takes to separate one proton or one Neutron from the oxygen and from the uranium That would be a fair comparison because we're taking equal number one So let's calculate for oxygen to separate 16. It takes 128 mega electron volts to if I want to separate one neutron or one proton How much energy does it take? Well, I just divide this by 16 If I do that, I've already calculated it happens to be it turns out about eight mega electron volt and These are rough numbers. So this means to separate one proton on neutron It takes eight mega electron volts of energy for oxygen. How much for uranium? Well for 235 It is this much so for one I have to divide this by 235 And this is why I chose these number these these examples If you do this calculation, it happens to be 7.6 mega electron volt. Oh What does that mean? That means to separate one proton or neutron from a uranium It takes less energy compared to that of oxygen And so who is more stable is the oxygen that's more stable compared to uranium And so you see if you want to talk about stability You take the binding energy and divide by the mass number to calculate the binding energy per Nucleon energy required to remove one party one, you know proton or neutron and that's what we're doing here We're looking at binding energy per nucleon of all the different elements and Comparing all of them So what does the graph look like? Well, here it is. Ta-da So what is the graph trying to tell us? Well, it's saying that for if you look at lighter nuclei Then as the number of protons and neutrons increases as the mass number increases Notice the binding energy per nucleon their stability basically starts increasing. It becomes more and more stable Then it reaches a maximum value and then slowly starts decreasing but pretty much stays a constant And if you're wondering at this point, which is that element which has the maximum stability? Then that element turns out to be iron 56 and That means iron 56 is the most stable element in the universe Because it has the maximum binding energy per nucleon and its value happens to be somewhere close to these are all rough numbers Okay, not exact close to about eight point five eight point six mega electron volt So the most stable element in the universe is iron 56 But now let's think a little bit more about why is it that the binding energy per nucleus the stability increases very quickly Initially, but then pretty much stays a constant. In fact, it starts decreasing But it pretty much stays a constant. Why is it doing that? But it's got to do with the fact that nuclear forces are short-ranged Okay, what does that mean? Well, let me take an example Let me just show you a few nuclei over here in each case Let's think about how hard it is to remove this green particle harder. It is more stability Okay, now over here in the first case this green particle is only pulled by two But over here the green particle is being pulled by four other particles and as a result We can say that it's harder to pull this one. So more stability So this one has a higher binding energy per nucleon more stability compared to the previous And the same thing happens over here because there are more particles surrounding this green one more pull It becomes even harder now to pull out this green particle from the nucleus. So stability increases And so this initial part of the graph makes sense now as you increase as you add more particles more pull And as a result it becomes harder to separate them and therefore the stability increases But what happens after a particular point? What happens over here? Shouldn't the same thing continue? Well, no, you see it turns out that nuclear forces are short-range to meaning that Particles can only influence or pull on their immediate neighbors So let's see what happens from here to here when I add those extra blue particles They are no longer the neighbors of green particle Right and so these blue neighbors are just too far away from the green particles And turns out that these blue particles these extra blue particles are no longer going to pull on the green particles And so the only particles that are pulling on the green one are its immediate neighbors Pretty much the same amount as these ones. And so notice over here It's the amount of energy required to pull this green particle apart Or outside the nucleus is pretty much the same as over here Because no extra pulling force does that make sense? That's the meaning of short-range and that's why from here to here the binding energy pretty much stays the same And this the same story continues from here to here even though I've added more blue particles They're just too far away. They're not going to influence this green particle And so you see as I go heavier and heavier after a point Even though I'm adding more particles the number of neighbors for each particle stays the same And as a result the energy required to remove any one particle after a point stays the same And so because nuclear forces are short-range After a point we will find that the stability pretty much stays the same Now if you're really curious you might ask but wait It's not a constant the stability is decreasing. Why is that happening? Well, I don't want to get into too much complexity But remember there is another repulsive force at play as well Protons and protons repel each other and because of this repulsion it becomes easier to pull particles apart Now initially over here since the nuclear force is much stronger than the proton proton repulsion force The nuclear force wins out and we can completely ignore the proton proton repulsion But from but from here onwards the nuclear force stays the same on each particle, right? But the proton proton repulsion starts increasing because electrostatic force has no short-range It is a long-range force And so because the repulsion starts increasing although the attraction stays the same the repulsion starts increasing That's the reason why it actually makes it a little easier to start pulling your green particle apart as you go down But you don't have to worry too much about that But that's basically the proton proton repulsion is the reason why the binding energy per nucleon actually decreases But that's not worry too much about it. That's for for our sake. It's pretty much stays a constant, okay? Finally, we can use this graph to even predict what kind of nuclear reactions we can predict over here One of the nuclear reactions is where you have a very heavy nucleus Breaking into smaller nuclei. We call that nuclear fission and this is the reaction used in nuclear bombs Now, what does that happen? Well, let's see. Let's look at the binding energy graph If you take a very heavy nucleus And let's say it were to split into smaller nuclei Then these react this products would be towards the left side and we know we can see from binding energy graph that These end up having a higher stability compared to the reactant and therefore such reaction is favored Remember in any reaction, whether it's chemical or whether it's nuclear reaction Stability nature wants to go more towards stability and that's where spontaneous reactions happen And since in this reaction the reactants products are more stable compared to the reactant This reaction is favored and an enormous amount of energy is released and that's was used in atomic bombs So this is called nuclear fission now. Can you can you predict why we can't have nuclear fission for Lighter elements. So if I take an element over here, which is say, I don't know maybe carbon or nitrogen Why can't we have fission over there? Can you look at the graph and think about it pause the video and think about this All right, if you take a very light element Like nitrogen or carbon and now if you if that undergoes fission if it splits Then notice the react the products would be even lighter And notice they will be less stable compared to the reactant and so this is not favored And so this is not a spontaneous reaction And so you don't expect lighter elements to undergo fission reaction. Does that make sense? So what happens to lighter elements? Well, lighter elements undergo fusion reaction These elements they tend to fuse together To form heavier elements because now notice the heavier element is more stable compared to these lighter elements And so you expect lighter elements to undergo fusion And that's what's powering up our sun or any other star for that matter nuclear fusion Hydrogen is combined to form helium and later helium can get combined to form even more heavier elements and so on And now i'm pretty sure you can look at the graph and explain why Heavier elements don't undergo fusion reaction. I'm pretty sure you can try and do that yourself


Art experts will tell you that cars aren't art. They say for something to be art it can have no purpose but art. I disagree. I think the time and the patience that's put into styling a car is almost as important as the way it drives.  I moved to the United States about eight years ago. Growing up in England wasn't really in the cars, didn't really know that much. But yeah, here, the second everyone turns 16, it's all about getting their car and sort of defines them and who they are. I think what I really want people to see in this car is attention to detail. Everything we've done is subtle but really enhances the overall image of the vehicle. Looking at it from a distance, it kind of looks pretty stock. But then as you get closer and closer, you really start to notice the attention and love that's been put into it. The front air splitter, the yellow brakes of the new wheels. Every one of these parts I've probably spent 30 or 40 hours deciding on just to make sure it really fit with the personality and how I wanted the car to turn out. In the end, we decided to go with a full blown motorsport turbo kit with a flex fuel system. So now it's running 325 wheel horsepower over double what it came with stock. What I really appreciate with Cobb as opposed to other places here is I know I can trust them. If I'm thinking about something and it's not going to give me the result I'm looking for, they're not going to tell me to get it just to get a sale. Neil specifically can just sit down and I know he's going to be completely honest with me. Let me know exactly what he thinks about my ideas. But yeah, even when there's nothing wrong, it's just great to come by. See what else they're working on? Lots of customers here have great cars, great projects. That's a lot of fun. This is one of those projects that I keep telling myself only a couple more things to do, a couple more things to do. But then the second you get that new part or that new piece and you put it on and you go for a drive again, suddenly you need a whole new list of things. I think it's probably one of those projects that's never going to be finished. My name's Tom Hodges and this is my Cobb story.


Your body is collecting energy 24-7. It needs to move, it needs to ground itself, be open, and be able to get rid of that excess energy. A healthy mind is a relaxed and open mind, and healthy cells are also open and receiving. But when your mind is under stress, everything closes off. And if it stays like that for a long period of time, it creates states of disease. What happens is your body creates these stress chemicals, such as adrenaline and cortisol. And there's never been a time in history when we've had so much stress. Wouldn't you agree?


hat the bylaw specifies a couple different professions that must be filled on the ZBA. And those professions were actually already filled before we actually got to these. And nonetheless, one of the people I'm recommending, Christian Klein, is an architect. So we would have double the architect on this. Christian Klein, unfortunately, cannot be here tonight during the interview process. He was quite clear that he was out of town. So I'm assuming we're going to follow our usual procedure and invite him to come back at a future meeting. I think it's up to the board about whether or not you want to fill the seat, make the vote, and still have him come, or whether you want him to come before you make the vote. It's up to you. The board does have a meeting that it needs to conduct in the month of September. And I guess it would be nice to fill it for that meeting. But I suspect that we can do that for first September meeting. The other nominee is Walter Fye, who I do see is here in the back. So Walter, do you want to come on up and introduce yourself? Tell us. I'll put up 15. Walter and I served on the finance committee for a few years. Hello. My name is Walter Fye. I live in Arlington, been here 20 years, been on the finance committee a couple of different stints. Want to help out around town, like to help out around town, saw the position posted. Thought I might be useful on the committee. So here I am. Mr. Greenlee, move approval on both wholeheartedly for both. Second. Any further discussion or questions? Thank you very much, Mr. Fye. Thank you. All right. All those in favor, please say aye. Marie, could you in a 5-0 vote? Thank you. You're in. So who should I follow up with? Talk to Marie. Yeah. OK. And we can also do an email introduction with the existing board because you do need to schedule a meeting in a timely, not urgent, but timely fashion. Mr. Cappaleca, you'll follow up and get Mr. Klein to come in at our next meeting, whatever it is. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thanks. All right. Next up is Citizens Open Forum. Accepting unusual circumstances, any matter presented for consideration of the board shall neither be acted upon nor decision made the night of the presentation in accordance with the policy under which the Open Forum was established. It should be noted that there is a three-minute time moment to present a concern or request. Is there anyone who's here for the Citizens Open Forum? Mr. Langone. Good evening. Richard Langone, 12-1 place. Tom meeting by my precinct six. Starting in March of last year, Diane Mahon, Kevin Creely, and a series of secret meetings of the parking subcommittee directed the police to harass the residents of Swan Place by ticketing their vehicles that they had been granted resident parking permits. During April and May, more than 35 tickets were issued. When one of the residents wrote in late May, complaining of the unjustified tickets, town officials used his complaint as an excuse to remove the residents parking permits that Swan Place residents have been granted for decades. Again, this decision was made by Mr. Creely and Mrs. Mahon in secret meetings that violated the Open Meeting law as recently as determined by the Attorney General. In May and June, dozens more tickets were issued at the SWAT Place residents lost their permit parking that they had paid for. In an open meeting in December, Mr. Creely, the chair of the board, turned off the cameras and stormed out of the room when confronted by these facts. We all know the facts. Illegal meetings using the police to harass the residents and implement an unstated policy. An illegal taking of the permits that residents of Swan Place have paid in a cowardly treat from the confronted with the unconfrontable truth. You should all be ashamed. Thank you. Is there anyone who would like to speak for Citizens Open Forum? Next up, item 15, update, friends of our LinkedIn Council on Aging Events, Art Budnick, Mr. Budnick. Delighted to have you here. I've come with props today and a special guest. Excellent. This is Susan Karp, executive director of the COA and I just wanted to let you know that the race is moving along fine. We've improved it. We have electronic bib-chip timing this year and it's being very intergenerational this year. We've started, because we have enough families and getting involved with it, we'll have some tables and craft tables for younger people to get involved with things for the after-race award ceremony timing and things of that nature. And just in general, it's been a good way to outreach to the community. It's been a very good way to get extra funding involved for the COA and in a second, I'm going to defer to Susan Karp and she can kind of inform you of some of those things. But everyone, it's coming up on September 8th, run, cheer, or volunteer and try and get involved if you can. We appreciate it very much. Excellent, Susan. Thank you and just very briefly, I mean, I'm really excited about this for a lot of reasons. As Art was saying, it's an intergenerational piece. It brings the community together. It's good, it's a good, healthy, fun kind of thing. Certainly as the beneficiary, I would be remiss in not singing its praises, but to tell you the truth, it's not all just about fun and games. Through some of the funding that we've received through the Friends and in 2012, the Council on Aging received $10,000. We were able to put our geriatric nurse through two different evidence-based trainings, which then he can turn around and provide health and wellness programs for free or low cost to the seniors in Arlington. That's just one piece. We were able to purchase and secure a software program that allows us to track different events within our senior population. And as you know in Arlington, it exceeds 9,400 that are 60 years and older. So that's a significant number. It enables us to do programming. It helps us understand some of the more frail elders, and then that spins off into an emergency preparedness piece that we're working on, that the Friends have also helped to support. So you'll see us at Town Day with our emergency sheets that we're hoping to share with the seniors that are not only beneficial to seniors in the event of an emergency, but for town personnel that are entering the homes trying to come to the aid. Certainly there's the fun and the social. When we put on events with entertainment and food, we can draw at least 80 people, which is a significant number in the main hall across the way. So I think the biggest piece that's coming up is on October 26th. It's a Saturday. We are hosting an event called Living Well 60 and Beyond. This event is designed for the individual that's 60, all the way into their 90s, their family caregivers, and everybody in between. And the Friends is a major supporter. We're gonna be having it at the Hardy School, and we have Dr. Paul Rea from the Alzheimer's Association that will be our keynote speaker, as well as Atria Long Meadow is providing free lunch for the first 200 seniors that sign up. So it's a day that will be full of information, take-homes, and just ideas on how to stay as healthy as you can in Arlington. So many people feel that you have to leave, and in reality, there's so many resources locally that even though you advertise, and you say it's in the town report, until you identify yourself with being that person that needs that service, you often overlook and feel that you have to leave. So we say thank you very much to the Friends. We hope to see you out there running shoes or not. I'll be the one serving the water at the end with the jazz band. So I hope to see you, and thank you for all your support. And lastly, if you want one of these medallions after Ernie. Oh, yeah. That looks very nice. They're handcrafted by one of our volunteers, Bob Brown. Oh, wow. He makes them all for us and things of that. Mr. Greely, I'm sure you were about to do what I was about to do. Well, I doubt it because I was gonna say how depressed I am that I am of an age where I could go to the event, which was explained. But I'm also of an age where I can't run the race. If I drive it, could I get a tin, a tin replica of that or something? Maybe we can craft a special medallion for you. I wanted a little car. I always think that I did the Walk for Hunger one year. I remember that when you did this. And so I walk every street. He's in his car smoking, drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee, checkin' on me. Then he drives the next block to the next street as I'm walkin' along. Sorry. I was gonna ask what Mr. Flanigan was gonna do for the race. I'll be among the chairing, but town manager chapterling does intend to run as he did last year. All right. Is he challenging? He normally throws out a challenge. I don't know. He hasn't decided on a challenge yet. We'll push him on it. And remember, think sun. Talk about race improvements. Did you take that steep hill out of the end of the race? That's funny. We say it's all downhill to get to the very end. Of course. It was fun last year. And I'm sure it'll be great this year. We'll proceed. Thank you. All those fare please say aye. Aye. Thank you very much. Thank you. Looking forward to the race. Okay. Next up, we have hanging of banners in our LinkedIn center. So we as a board recently adopted a policy and that policy is now coming back to us in the form of actual requests. First up is town day. Low of approval. Second. Thank you. All right. And so one of the criteria is that they're for banners is that we have a sponsor from the town. And in this case, this board is the sponsor. I don't know if we've ever formally taken that vote, but we clearly have. I think we clearly. It's absolutely. Yeah. Is there any discussion on this one? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Next up, taste of Arlington, Arlington Commerce, Jennifer Tripp. Hi. So we'd like to hang banners after the town day. Banners come down. We'd like to put the taste of Arlington banners up. And this is co-sponsored by the town. Low of approval. Second. I will comment. So I know that I voted, I took the vote. I agreed to sponsor this. So I'm going to support this motion. And I voted and I'm going to do it because I said that I would. But in retrospect, I actually wish that we had held out and suggested a different department be the sponsor. And if it rolls around next year, I'm going to suggest that we try to push it back to the Bureau of Economic Development. I just want us to think about it pretty clearly about what we are or are officially sponsoring. Town day, we're obviously intimately involved with as an office. We're less involved intimately with your event. And I confessed to when I thought we were sponsoring it, I felt like it was more of like a symbolic act and I didn't realize that we were kind of tacking ourselves onto it. So all that said, I'm supporting it. This year, no sweat. Next year, I want to have one. There is no taste next year. So we're all set. I am not. I'm not canceling it on you. Two years. No, no, two years. Thanks, see you. Yeah, exactly. Ms. Carol. I have a question because we do have as the next request here, I think, yeah, I wanted to know if you could address that. Yeah. Did you talk to Alberto? I have spoken with Alberto, but I wonder if we could discuss it here. Who do you want to talk about? Do you want to take the vote on this one, or do you want to? Well, they're going to be hanging the same time. All right, next up, Arlington Film Festival. Let's talk about it at the same time. This is not competition. No, it's not competition. We work together. Yes, good evening. Thank you for hearing us, April and Alberto Guzman of the Arlington International Film Festival. Last year, the select men were kind enough to let us put up our banners in the city, advertising the International Film Festival, and we were very appreciative of that. The Economic Development Officer, sorry, facilitated that. That was the gentleman that we had worked with after coming and presenting to the select men that we were actually having the festival. There was no mention of banners at that point because we hadn't even thought of it. This year, upon hearing that there was a reconsideration of banners in trying to get some kind of a policy enacted, we sent a letter of request to the select men, which I'm sure you've all had, you've received by now. So we would like to just follow up on that, find out if we would be able to hang the banners and what the policies actually would be. Mr. Kerl. So I did meet with Mr. Guzman. We discussed this briefly. I facilitated placing the AIFF on ATED's agenda this coming Wednesday, but we're a little bit out of order. I realized, though, that the chamber and the Film Festival are looking to coordinate this so that they're sharing space. So I've been inclined to support the chamber. I'm also inclined to support AIFF contingent upon them receiving sponsorship from ATED if that's in order. I think it's great to see these two organizations actually cooperating together, too. That was a motion, I'll second it. All right, so it sounds good, but why don't we actually roll these then both into motion? Just do both of these together. And Mr. Greely, I think you made the original motion. So can we perhaps amend your motion to add the motion? Yes, sir. And so that's- Try to move BNC. Yes, BNC with C approval contingent upon ATED. Yes, second. Yeah, Mr. Burr. I'm gonna support this and I'm very comfortable with it. Moving forward when these signs come down, these banners, I'd like the Arlington Alive banners to go back up. I think that all the banners that we have in front of us, they're all events. And as we spoke before, the Arlington Alive banner is not really an event. It's more of a good feeling. And I think it really represents something that we're striving to move forward to. And I'd be more comfortable with those being up for a long term, if that's appropriate. If you'd like to- I would say that it'd be appropriate. We'd have to just determine who picks up the class. Yeah, okay. It may actually be that we don't have any up there for periods of time. I don't know if that's- Yeah, I mean, if we can put them back up, I think it would be fine. I think it looks nice. I agree. And I'd rather have those up long term than something that represents an event. All right. Can I just ask Adam, if he could follow up with DPW, if they're Andrew- You're not alone. I'm sitting too close to you. Andrew, if you could follow up with DPW and find out if there's a time, or a season, or a part of a time of season where they don't recommend having banners up. And maybe they're cool with it year round, but they may say in terms of massive snow and ice operations, if you could just check on that. So I'm sorry, excuse me. We just wanted to clarify dates that we would be able to hang our banners as well as if there's a cost associated so that we could understand that. So the dates would be, yours are going up after 10, so 10 days, the 21st, and Marie doesn't like me to say the word, but Reindate the 28th. And- Okay. Oh, that's right. Oh, is it Reindate the 22nd? No. 28th. Follow me. 28th. 28th. Right, yes. So that would be the start, as what a post town day would be when yours go up. And then I'm assuming that we're talking about taking them down after the festival is over, sometime after October 27th. The exact date that we're talking about after October 27th, we haven't yet come to a resolution yet, and I'm not even sure what we're going to, I think we're going to give a recommended range and go from that. That's fine, we're more concerned about when they go up. So that's- As for cost, I don't know how we've been handling the cost yet. They come up with the cost of the actual banner, right? Well, they bring- Not the banner. We eventually don't know. I think we should clarify a little bit. That was, yeah, that was deter- Yeah, I'm the expert. That really has, I think you'll have to work through that with the town manager and DPW director. But one of the goals, I think in our taking these votes has been so that there can be some cost sharing with the previous older. So for example, with town day coming down at the same time that yours are going up, we're not incurring then a double hit of an uninstallation than a subsequent installation. But I don't think that we can quote the cost here. Part of our new policy has been trying to fit because we had been concerned about the cost and stuff like that. And so I actually don't know what it is yet. Let's ask Marie, let's ask the town manager and see how they're doing it. But for yours going up, clearly, you're splitting them with town days going down. So that at least is part of what's going on. Okay. So let's- Okay, excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. So we've got a motion. We don't actually have an, let's, should we set an end date that says to come down in early November or as, as convenient to the DPW or whatever. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. Aye. Five-zero. Done with the banners. Next up for the Transportation Advisory Committee, Scott Smith, Parking, and Crosswalk. And we're talking about across river at Cornell and University and the south side of Purcell from North Union. That's Parking. Oh, sorry, Crosswalk. So Mark Crosswalk across river at Cornell and University on the north side of the intersection. Okay. Scott Smith here from TAC. This case is coming out of the Thompson rebuild. View it as some minor changes to the walking routes and traffic patterns. Basically the walking route makes more sense on the north side of university than the south side now, given where the entrance of the school now is. So we propose adding a crosswalk on the north side of the Cornell River University intersection where there already is a crosswalk on the other side and a traffic supervisor placed. So that's what that's about. And the parking on Purcell, which is a public way, and I looked on the web, it has no restrictions now. We're proposing some extremely short-term parking on the school side of Purcell to support kindergarten drop-off, which will be away from the main drop-off, which will be more towards Everett, as it's been in the past. A little approval on both. I'll second it. Just a question regarding the short-term parking. Is that only, is that between specific times? Like is that during school day parking, or is that a permanent 15 minute? We were back and forth on that. Purcell is fairly narrow. Could go either way. I would recommend permanent, and given that this is a new school, I wouldn't be surprised if we were back in November of some more tweaks. So I actually had the same question, and I would actually, I would prefer to put only during school hours. And I just want to give you my motivation. My motivation is when you use the schools for evening events and things like that, it just seems, you know, the parking is going to stack up all around there. We might as well use those spaces as much as anything else. Okay, I'd like to just, just as advice. See the signs on school property are saying 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. staff parking. And so we're looking at opening up the spaces on North Union in the evening. So maybe less parking on North Union itself. So we have a motion for Mr. Greeley. I don't know. Were you moving 24 hours?  I would, I would support, you know, count to five, my friend. What would you, what would you support? I would, I would rather do the 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. That's what I was doing. Okay. I saw him typing that right in my phone. Yeah, cool. Okay, any further discussion? No. Is that all right with you, Scott? My friend. Yeah. Anyone here wanted to talk about that? It doesn't look like that. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Thank you. Thanks Scott. I'm actually, before we do the calendar, just because I see, I want to do correspondence because I see Carol patiently waiting in the audience. Under correspondence received, we have Carol Bann, who is a traffic concern, parking concern relative to the whole food supermarket. And I know it's my intent to probably refer this to tax. So Scott, do you want to hang out just for a minute while we, Carol, do you want to, did you want to speak to the, do you want to climb up and take a minute? Please. Not about leaf blowers, I'm sort of refreshing. I'm Carol Bann, I live on Bartlett Avenue and I'm a town meeting member for a precinct date. I'm here representing the residents of Bartlett Avenue who are thrilled to get that whole food is coming in because we haven't been able to buy milk since Johnny's left. But at the same time, Whole Foods is going to be the only supermarket that has an entrance and an exit on a residential street. So we're anticipating there's going to be some traffic. Johnny's had traffic, but this is going to be bigger because people are going to be coming from Belmont to see the organic lettuce. So we were wondering if there was going to be any sort of accommodation for the overflow parking that's going to be on our street. People are going to be parking on the street, probably all the way up the street.  And we were wondering perhaps if there could be, I don't know, some sort of flared curb or something that would keep people from bombing up there or to give a visual cue that it's a residential neighborhood or maybe even, dare I suggest, a no left turn sign as you come out. Ideally, it would be nice also. OK, I've got one more thing.  I caught that in the beginning of this meeting. And if we could have one done before Whole Foods opens and then afterwards so we can sort of have a comparison to see exactly what the impact is of the store, that would be fabulous. So my inclination is that I would definitely, I would have to refer to TACC. I am, I suspect I'm more interested in what it's like afterwards than I am before. But if you can't compare it, you don't really know. You can't compare it to what it was with Johnny's either. No, but we can compare it to what it is with no store and then what it is with a store. I would defer to John's piece. Johnny's was a tax judgment. If they want that information, that would be my personal preference. But I know that having spoken to a couple of the members individually, so obviously, read your correspondence beforehand, which makes me say, OK, what do we do with this? And I did talk to a couple of TACC members. And I know that their inclination was that they would rather wait until the store was open. I think that everyone agrees that the traffic study should happen, but we should. But isn't the point of a traffic study to have a comparison otherwise, why even have one? I mean, you know, because the reasons you would do it, it isn't a question about before and after. It's about what the road's capacity is and whether it's being used safely or not. So it could be that the traffic goes up by a factor of 10, or it could be it goes up by a factor of 100, or it could go up to be a factor of two. It isn't the factor that's the matter. It's the matter is what the actual usage is. Well, the factor impacts the people and the quality of life for the people who live there. They're very concerned about the speed and the volume. I completely agree with that. But I think that it's the end state that matters, not where you started. Mr. Greeley? Well, we don't have statistics from Johnny's to compare. So I agree with you that let's wait until the store is in there. Mrs. Mohan? I would just say, based on the correspondence we received to requesting TAC to have this on their agenda, that we refer this to TAC, because we can't really tell them, give you the opportunity to meet with them and make your case. And they may say, you know, we agree. We're not the ones, I'm certainly not the ones in terms of transportation and traffic and all that. So what we have on the correspondence received is your request to have this go to TAC, as well as one from Patsy Kramer, who had a conversation with Elizabeth Carr-Jones, who suggests that she refer that. So what I would say is, since we move received correspondence received, that we also refer these two issues to TAC. And then you can make your pitch to the experts. And they may agree. I don't know. I'm not a terrific good. That's OK, Mr. Chairman. But just to point out, we are the traffic and parking commissioners. I mean, we're referring it to TAC to come back to work. But we will have to make a decision on that. Mr. Cure, Mr. Bernadette, comments? Thank you. Good path. All right. You've got a motion? The second. Did we get this? Yeah, this is referring to TAC. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Zero. Thank you. Thank you for coming. OK, next. That was both of these, correct? That was both of them, yeah. Next up, we are going to look at schedules of the magic calendar. So I recommend in September the 9th and the 23rd. Oh, no. The 9th is right after town day. Marie-Marie, we don't want that. The 23rd was the day that was, no, your 21st. I mean, 21st, right. So I said that wrong. I'm meaning 23rd is right after town day, not 9th. Correct. How about as a 16 and 30 or 9 and 30? People have anything else? I may be for 16. I may not be able to. So how about 9 and 30 then for two days in September? Is that all right? I think that's good for me. OK. Yeah, that's fine. Yep. Hang on just one moment. Thank you. Yep, 9th is good. Hey, she's. No? OK, that's a go. And then in October, so 14th is Columbus Day, and we will have just done the 30th. We could do 7 and 21, so that would be like 30 and 7. I can't do the 21st, but that's no reason for the board not to go ahead. Well, 7 and 28 works. Was it not? It's fine with that. 7th and 28th. 7 and 28th? Let me just go with me if I have everybody else. Yep. OK. For the year. So in November, I can't do the 11th. Well, that's Veterans Day. Veterans Day. Oh, there you go. I can't do the 25th. I'm up 4 and 18. All right. That works. Yep. December, it looks like we've got an election. Every month. Yeah. On the 10th. 2 and 23? And 23 be our? The short meeting? Early short meeting? Or no? How about 2 and 23?  I don't mind. I mean, 9 is the night before the state election. No, so Marie said no. So either 16 and 23 or 2 and 23? I'm inclined to say that it's 2 and 16, but I could go either. I was thinking 2 and 16 as well. That's OK with me, but. The only downside to doing that is it's going to leave us a long stretch without a meeting at the end of the year. And I have to bet that we're going to have to have, there's always something that we have to do just before the year. So we may end up having a morning meeting on the 27th or something like that. But we can cross that bridge when we get there. Yeah, see how it plays out. Yeah. Cool. I'll throw a Wednesday night. I mean, we did that one, yeah, we did a Monday and then the following Wednesday.  Marie, do you have any deep thoughts first or 2 and 16 OK with you? Marie, do the select tones have a gig in December with the Catholic Women's Club? Wednesday night. So is 16th meeting we start early? I think so. OK. And then Dan hosts some wild party somewhere for us. I'm on the 16th or right. That would be the second. You're two parties. I do have two parties. It was a September party, too. Oh, is that the pig roast? It is. All right. So we've done number 18. We've done our correspondence received. I don't think we did an executive session. Let us go on to new business. Mr. Kupalka, Ms. Rice. I do have a new business, Mr. Chair. Thank you. With very mixed emotions that I announced to the board formally that I'm going to be leaving the position of town council later in September to accept the position of Deputy Chief of the Government Bureau for the Office of the Attorney General in Boston. I'm very honored to have been asked to return to that office in an upper management position. And it's a really good opportunity for me. But it is hard for me to leave the town. I've been here for a little over five years. I've learned a great amount while I've been here. I appreciated the support of all of the department heads and the board in its different iterations. And I will probably be leaving at the end of the third week in September. But that hasn't been set for sure. I know the board has received a memo from the town manager starting the recruitment and transition process. And I've offered to be available to the town manager and his team to provide any assistance I can and to my replacement as well to provide any assistance I can through that transition. And I hope that will help make it a smooth one. And I want to thank the board for all its support during my time here. So Juliana gave me a call this weekend and said that she was planning on making this announcement. I was very distressed. Good congratulations on this job. I wish you the best in this new gig. But I think you've been really good for us. And I'm very sad to see you go. Mrs. Mahon. I just want to say, same conversation, very bittersweet. But I'm very proud and honored that we have had her for five years. And having worked in the court system for the position that they actively recruited her for is really, in the Attorney General's Office, a great testament to your legal knowledge and credentials. So I really feel proud, as another woman, that you're going to go to a higher ranking position. I'd like to think that Arlington helped contribute in that. But I really am honored as a fellow woman that you've been offered this position and you're more than qualified for it. And you're going to be very, very, very busy. But you're used to that. Mr. Greeley, I saw your hand go up. So in the five years you've served, who would you say is the most outstanding member of the Board of Selectment under which you have served? Just go ahead and say it. I don't think it's obvious to everyone. It's obvious to everyone that it's Mr. Greeley, of course. Therefore, we cannot let you go. Truly, the Attorney General's Office is gaining in its alofts for Arlington. You've done a wonderful job. You've been a real pleasure to work with. And you've been right, 98% of the time at the age, but best of luck, Julianne, and I'll surely miss you. You're going to stay living here in Arlington, correct? Well, we'll talk about that another time, Kevin. Already? You're way behind on the news, buddy. Oh, man, sorry. So I spent the last three plus weeks traveling over 6,600 miles around this wonderful country of ours. And I had a nice welcome. When I crossed the Massachusetts line yesterday, it was traffic and tolls. Everybody else had these nice signs. We had traffic and tolls. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than sitting in dead stop traffic just west of Sturbridge, I got a call from Julianne. And my family was in the car. And they said, why did you just inhale so sharply? I've really enjoyed working with you. I think you've really set a new standard, both here on the board and when I was over with the school committee. And I noted many of the other people in town, town meeting members, and members of other boards. You've been an indispensable resource and with a great sense of humor also, which I think we all appreciate and need as we go through this. Certainly a new standard will be set at the Attorney General's office. And we wish you nothing but the best. And hope we didn't drive you away with those few times when we did just go right against your advice. Not better off. Drive right over it. But thank you very much. And I'm sure there'll be much more time for longer compiles. Yeah, this is devastating news. I'm very, very sad to hear. But of course, I'm happy for you as well. And it'll be greatly missed. I know a lot of department heads are also equally as upset as we are. And I hope that we can stay in touch, of course. And best of luck. Thank you. We have a one-world meeting, right? Yeah, I guess so, yeah. Definitely that's OK. Does this mean that when open meeting complaints, your office is the one that handles them? Well, it is that bureau. I'll be precluded from participating in anything having to do with the town of Arlington, at least for a year. So I don't know how much help I can get. Can you put particular names on a list? OK, OK. Anything else? Or was that enough? I think that's enough for now. Mr. Flanagan. Not at this time. Kevin. Nothing. Thank you. Diane. Just a couple of things. One is, I understand we've hired an animal control officer. Many outstanding candidates. I talked to Karen Malloy. I've been getting so many questions about what's happening with that. So I anticipate, I'm not sure if tonight or at a future meeting, we'll be giving the information. But I understand the woman that we hired, I don't know if I can say it, because I don't know if she's been offered or accepted the job. We're still in the process of finalizing the office, so. Then I won't go out. The nation will be forthcoming. I just want to let people know out there, because I get asked all the time. The other thing is, two issues. One was on Egerton Road, which Andrew has been following. Adam Sotted and Andrew followed up. There's a ridiculously scary double poll out there. I'm ready to push it over myself. But I think you said they committed to an action plan. Right. And so we'll be moving their utility during a planned outage on the evening of September 5th. And we've talked to the cable companies, and they'll follow soon thereafter. They can move their utilities, and we can finally come to a resolution on that poll. And do they know how long the planned outage is? Is it like an hour between 1 AM and 5 AM? I don't know the exact duration, but I can get that information for you. And maybe if you think it's appropriate to tell an email alert or something, so the residents know. And then the last thing, just in my frustration of DCR, Sunnyside Boulevard in the Greenway, I contacted the governor and said that we had met a year ago last July. Thank you for the first part of the meeting that Mr. Grilly and I went to, which was reimbursement for the microburst. But that sort of brought me back, making phone calls and calling the governor, which I'm kind of embarrassed that I had to do that. But that's because of DCR. Is that DCR, why they have committed to a plan, which I have right here, back in June of last year, with the then commissioner Lambert and Dan Hunt. I have been contacting Dan Hunt, the legislative liaison, as well as Representative Garberly and the senator, and have been told over and over again, this is going to happen next week. The maintenance plan is going to go in since July of last year. So that's why I contacted the governor, said I was very frustrated. There is a new DCR commissioner. And I believe, Andrew, there has been some movement on that, do you want to? I had a discussion with the new commissioner's chief of staff last week, and I'm meeting with some members of the staff on a different issue this week. And our goal is to have another follow-up meeting with all the stakeholders back at the table. And one of the things that Adam wanted to do is get the new commissioner out to the site, like Commissioner Lambert and Commissioner Sullivan did. The Selections Office has a copy of this, what they agreed to for maintenance. What they did was they went down and mowed all the wetlands, which really infuriated the neighbors. And I've asked the town manager and acting town manager to have Con Con look into that, because usually you can't even cut it yourself. They say yes. So that really infuriated the neighborhood that not only had anything been done. So did contact the governor, things are now moving. And hopefully I don't have to do that again, because this really is a small issue that should be settled. And that's it for my new business. Thank you. Do you think the board should be taking an action on that as a point? Well, why don't I, maybe we can put it on the next agenda, and then I'll also distribute this action plan, and then we can take a vote to have whatever communications to whomever gives in or the opportunity to meet with the chief of staff beforehand. Yes, I think a vote on this board would be prudent. So if this could be on the next agenda. Thank you. Ray, can we put that on? Thank you. I'm stuck with my words. Joe, no new business. Steve? Julianne knows it was enough for me. The only item that I have is we are currently trying to schedule a long-term planning committee meeting that may in fact happen before our next meeting, and if not it will be shortly afterwards. And then I'm also looking at scheduling. We've been talking about budget revenue task force meeting. We haven't done it in a while, but it is getting, but just in terms of keeping them up with some frequency. And that's either, we're looking at the end of September or early October, but just so that the board knows. And given actually the scheduling that we just chose, September 30th or October 7th, we'll be the next budget revenue task force. Good, I'm glad you haven't been. Yeah. I don't like waiting until December. Yeah, we'll do it, yeah, we'll see how it goes. All right, that was it that I had for new business. Move to adjourn. Second. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. We are adjourned.


This is Coach Mack, Game Day Color Analyst for Titans Radio. Today we're going to go beneath the surface. We're going to give you three examples in two big home games of Ryan Tannehill, great field leadership, and great field execution that led to two huge wins in Nissan Stadium. Our first example today is 35 balls on the plus five yard line. What we see here is 11 personnel. You've got three wide outs. You've got one tight end. John O'smith comes in motion to get a man's zone declaration. The Chargers are in a six up look, mugging the A-gaps. They're trying to show that this might be a pressure, but they're going to bail out and you're going to see they're only going to rush two people and drop nine down here in the low red zone. Ryan Tannehill does a tremendous job of taking a snap, looking off the safety. Dennis Kelly, nice job on Bosa up top in a single block. You've now got three offensive linemen to block one because they're dropping nine. Ryan Tannehill takes a nice look. Really nice move here on the outside. Ty J Sharp comes down the field. This is a blown coverage by the Chargers. Ryan Tannehill recognizes it immediately, sets his foot, delivers a dart to the back of the end zone, touchdown tights. Our next example against this Kansas City cheese. First in nine on the plus nine yard line. Now we're looking at 12 personnel, two wide outs, two tight ends. Kansas City has got a four man front. They're actually going to end up being a five man blitz. So the protection has to be good. The protection is excellent. They try to run a tackle twist game on the inside. Center guard triangle does a great job on the tackle twist. We've got really nice slide protection here. Play action. Derek Henry does an excellent, excellent job picking up the in man of the line of scrimmage. The chiefs are in man to man defense. And so what you have to do with man to man defense, watch Anthony Ferks are at the top does a really nice job.  Ryan Tannehill takes a quick look to Michael Pruitt. Looks back up top to Ferkser throws a dart, lays out, great hand catch. Tremendous throw from the backside. Touchdown tightens. Key rack happens. Our last example, again the Kansas City Chiefs game. You can see the chiefs are trying to hurry back to the line of scrimmage. Ryan Tannehill does a nice job of deploying his people. We're now looking at 11 personnel. You've got three wide outs, one tight end, one back in the ball game. The Kansas City Chiefs go to a five under two deep man defense.  Ryan Tannehill recognizes the coverage immediately. He manipulates the safety on this hash with his eyes to the outside deep seam. Then when he manipulates a man to the outside, you can see Adam Huffries works his magic in the slot. A real quick stick nod move to the outside. Tannehill immediately sees it. As soon as he clears, seam throw, safeties are both widened to the wide seams going. Perfect throw, great catch. Nice job of running through contact at the goal line. Touchdown tightens. Huge, huge play.


So welcome everybody and thanks for joining. I'm Mikhail Skargakis. I've been working in Red Hat for four years. And during the past year, I've been part of the OpenShift to Azure team. And together with the Microsoft team, on the other side, we've been building OpenShift to Azure. And, you know, the goal of this presentation, and after you leave this room, I want you to have a good grasp of what the service that we are building is. A quick walkthrough through the agenda. I'm going to give a brief overview of the service. The user experience I'm going to walk you through. Note that most of it is still a work in progress, especially the portal stuff. We're going to dive into the architecture of the product. And there are going to be some terms. Azure OpenShift related. I'm going to explain them. I'm going to touch briefly on our integrations that we have in OpenShift with Azure. The teams, of course, that put the effort behind bringing the service into the market. The support that we're going to offer to our customers. A lot of timelines and a couple of references for you. Before I get started, a quick show of hands. How many of you are familiar with OpenShift? Please raise your hands. Cool. So about four-fifths of the room. How many of you are familiar with Azure? Raise your hands. Okay. Much less. No worries. I'm going to explain things as we go. So first, the overview. Our main goals with this service is two things. We want ease of use, of course, and scalability for our customers. We want to make it easy for them to stand up clusters, to manage clusters, upgrade or scale up, scale down or even delete. And of course, we want to do it in a way that is scalable so we want to match customer needs. This is the first OpenShift service offering in the public cloud that we are offering jointly with Microsoft. So the clusters are going to run on customer subscriptions with SLAs. Right now, we are on private preview one. We offer no SLAs, but once we release to private preview two and then GA, we are going to offer SLAs. Red Hat is responsible for most of the workload and that's fair because we build OpenShift. We know how to operate OpenShift. The architecture is highly opinionated. So some of you already know that OpenShift is one of the most complex projects and there are lots of configurables. So we try to minimize down to a bare minimum the configurables that are exposed to our customers. So it's going to be easier both for our customers to understand how they can stand up a cluster and for us to maintain if we have lots of different clusters with as much similar configuration as possible.  The user experience, yeah, so assuming you already have logged into the Azure portal the first thing you're going to do is create a cluster and note that the portal is still a work in progress. So that's the first view that you will have once you create a cluster. You want to create a cluster and you have to provide us with a couple of information such as your subscription which I think it's going to be automatically put in there. The resource group. So how many of you are familiar with the resource groups in Azure? Raise your hands. Okay, so for the rest of you, resource groups are like namespaces. You can think of them as namespaces in Kubernetes or OpenShift. So it says it's a group of resources where we are going to run your clusters inside. And then you have to provide a couple of details for your cluster like the name of the cluster where you want to have the region where you want to run, the version of OpenShift, and also you have to provide us with the DNS prefix at this point. In the future we are going to support Vani domains. You will also be able to configure networking. So if you have existing networks in Azure you will be able to reuse those and run your clusters inside those networks. How you will be able to view your clusters, of course, all the cluster info. This is a list view of all of the clusters. As I said earlier, I want to make it easy for customers to run lots of clusters. They may have needs for having their own CI clusters, their staging environments, and then their production environments. You will be able to see this under an aggregated view. And you will also be able to see descriptions of your clusters, whether its status, its deployment is successful or not, the version of the OpenShift version that you are running. You will be able to navigate to the web console, the OpenShift web console, a couple of information about the resources that your cluster has allocated. And this is still a work in progress. You will be able to view metrics, alerts, and logs for your clusters directly via the portal. This is a work in progress both on the front and in the back end at the moment. So if you need more capacity, what do you do?  It's going to be really intuitive. You will just have this slide bar over here, or if you want to put the number directly and you just scale up, that's it. So this is how the user experience looks today in the command line. You do an OZ OpenShift create. That's already there. You provide us with your resource group, the name of the cluster. You also need to provide the location and the NFQDN at this point. OZ OpenShift list, I think last time I tried, this is still not there. OZ OpenShift so for showing a description of your cluster. OZ OpenShift scale, scale up your clusters, and the OZ OpenShift upgrade is still a work in progress. We don't allow upgrades at this point in private preview one. Do you have any questions so far? Because I think right now it's demo time. So the question is if we support more Azure regions like Azure government. At this point I think we support a couple of regions like East US, West Europe. Eventually the plan is to support also more regions like government regions and the more regions will support the better for us. And the plan is to support them. Any more questions so far? You are doing good. So I'm a CLI guy. Let's make it. So I have started the container over here with Azure OpenShift. First thing I'm going to do is we are looking at the resource groups in our subscription. I'm going to create a net new resource group just to be on the safe side. I'm going to give it the name of the resource group. The name of the cluster can be different or it can be the same as the resource group. It doesn't really matter. I'm going to pass the region, the one closest to us, and then FQDN which is the name of the cluster. And there is also right now a DNS prefix, that suffix actually, that we have to deploy the clusters for you. Eventually we are going to support vanity domains. And I think we are good to go with this. Yeah. What do you say, Taipo? I don't see it. Oh. So actually we have first to create this group, right? So I was doing it wrong, sorry. So first just create the resource group where we are going to request our cluster to run. And then I have to create the actual cluster. And this is the az-open-shift-create. And I think that's pretty much it over here. So what happens behind the scenes? So we are going to dive into the architecture right now. I'm going to explain what happens behind the scenes when I just requested for a cluster to be created. No worries about the flowchart. I'm not going to go into deep details. So what happens is I requested the cluster, right? I just didn't know how the open-shift-create. Behind the scenes the request ends up in a Microsoft endpoint. And eventually a service behind that endpoint, which we call the Open-Shift Resource Provider, is going to take care of that service, that request. So the service is built by Microsoft. Or more precisely, we code develop it with Microsoft. And what we, as Red Hat, are doing is we develop a set of code plugins that Microsoft vendors in their service. And those code plugins, you can visualize what they are doing in the bottom of this flowchart. For example, our plugins are responsible for validating the request. They are also responsible for generating all the configuration for the cluster. So we generate all the Open-Shift Configurables. We also generate the ARM Templates. How many of you are familiar with ARM Templates? It stands for Azure Resource Manager Templates. And essentially that is an accumulation of different Azure resources. For example, you have your load balancers in there. You have your VMs, which we use as scale sets. Scale sets, you can imagine them as replica sets in Kubernetes or Open-Shift. So we generate all of the configurations. Once we have the ARM Template, we pass it to Microsoft. And Microsoft will deploy it for us. And once everything is up and running, all the VMs are up, we have a bunch of, we have actually two startup scripts. One for masters and one for all the other nodes. And when masters come up, one API server, one controller manager, and one at CD instance is going to run inside each master VM, so masters come up. From the node side, nodes just run a Qubelet service. And that service has a bootstrap Q config in it. So it's able to know where to find the master and ask to join the cluster. So once everything is up and running, magically everything joins the cluster, and eventually we run a health check, which everything waits for everything to settle down. And once everything is up and running, it will sign off the cluster, and the users are able to use it. So this is how it's going to look like inside the customer subscription. The numbering of the resource groups is a bit off over here. For example, the resource group that I just created earlier is resource group number three. So a user on your right starts by having their own resource group, the request for an OpenShift cluster inside the resource group, and what happens behind the scenes is that on your left side, on the bottom you have the OpenShift resource provider, which is the service that we are building with Microsoft, and that service creates an application, a managed application, which is resource group number two, and that is a way for Microsoft to limit access to the customers, limit customer access to Azure resources, specific Azure resources. And here we are limiting access to the cluster, so users are not able to go and mess with the cluster. They have limited access. And we also have access for Red Hat SRS via tooling. It's also going to be limited access. We're not going to have, for example, system admin. We're going to have a predefined set of actions which I'm going to talk about later. This is how the resource group number three looks like, resource group number one, sorry, which is where all the cluster runs, all the resources of the cluster are. We have on the top public DNS. We use Azure DNS. Then we have the load balancers, one for masters and one for the router pods for your applications. And on the bottom we have the private network where you have all of the different machines running. You have the master nodes where we're on the control plane. Right now we are architecture by default is three master nodes. We have the infrastructure nodes where all of the infrastructure services in OpenShift are running, where we are running the docker registry, for example, the router pods. And then we have the application nodes that are for user workloads. We are using Azure storage, of course. We use blob storage for the docker registry. And that CD, of course, gets SSDs. If you're familiar with SSD, it needs SSDs to work because it needs lots of memory. And we also have, of course, in dynamic provision, we have configured Azure disks for customers. So customers by default, they also get SSDs. Okay, let's have a look in my demo. It's still running. So I'm going to touch briefly on the integrations, which I already have started doing. We have on the top DNS and the load balancers from Azure. We are using AAD, which stands for Azure Active Directory for Azure authentication. At now it's the only way how to authenticate into your cluster. In the future we may support more authentication mechanisms. We have integration with the Azure Service Broker. And so you are able to request for external services and you can access them in your cluster. For metrics, the plan is to use, we already have actually running a Prometheus and Grafana instance in the cluster, but these at the moment are not accessible for our customers to use. Eventually I think it's going to be a self-service where customers will be able to request Prometheus with a click of a button and it's going to be deployed for them. VM Scalesets is what we use for running VMs. Scalesets is a fairly new concept in Azure. It supersedes I think it was availability sets. And of course we are using Azure Store Ads for both HCD, the registry and the user applications. Still running. So yeah, by default your cluster gets DNS routing. So in your web console on your left you will be able to go directly to your application. You are familiar with OpenShift Hardworks. This is based on Azure DNS. We use an AID. This is how it looks like in the web console. We are going to view it later on our own web console. Azure Disk Dynamic Provisioning for storage, as I said earlier, SSDs by default for our customers. And before I move forward with the teams, are there any questions so far? Yeah, so the question is how we are going to handle specific admin tasks like installing operators. So we are going to have limited access as there is in the cluster. So all operators are going to come with, you know, you'll be able to install them with every new version of our service. And we will also be able to, I'm gonna have a slide later. I'm going to explain a couple of different admin tasks that we are going to have predefined for admins. So as administrator, you are not going to be able to run an operator while the cluster is during runtime. It's going to be predefined. And that's because we want to avoid excessive configurations and we want to have everything under control with every version of the service that we release. So installing an operator after the fact is not a pattern we're going to follow. Any other question? So, yes, so the question is related to cross region, if I get it correctly. Yes. So the question is about availability zones. I'm not really sure I understand it. Whether how OpenShift takes care of provisioning of different storage in different cross availability zones. So right now you create your cluster. I'm not sure I understand your question. Right now you create your cluster in a specific region inside Azure. So if that region is a single availability zone, then you are only able to run everything in that region. So as I said earlier, you have to provide us a region in order to create the cluster right now. So maybe you are asking about cross region support. Yes. So everything is going to be in a single region at this point. No, it's high availability across machines. It's not high availability across regions. As I said, I showed earlier in one of the requirements that you have to provide to the cluster is you have to provide us with a region. Yep. So you see the second field? You have to provide us with a region. And I passed West Europe when I created my cluster. I think I'm not really familiar with that. We can catch up afterwards. But I think there is, once you are in a region, everything is handled automatically for you. So you need to set up anything first. Yeah, I'm not familiar with Amazon, sorry. So the cluster is actually up and running. So let's go and have a look. I forgot to request one node. I wanted to request just one node, but anyway. So I have to trust the certificate, of course. So the first thing that you are going to see once you log into the cluster is you are getting redirected into Microsoft's Azure. This is how AD works. So you have to give it access and accept those permissions. And once you accept those permissions, you are getting redirected into the web console. And we are able to create an application right now. So now our application is up and running almost. Let's go back to the other questions for her. So the questions are regarding upgrading the cluster. So I'm going to touch on it later. I have a couple of slides. But for now, the upgrades are going to be both user triggered. So users will be able to request to upgrade to the newer version. But we also are going to do our own upgrades, for example, security fixes, or key rotation if a secret from the infrastructure is leaked. So I have a couple of slides later which we are going to reply. Any other question? So the question is regarding wildcard certificates. So I think this is something we have been discussing with Microsoft. And it's something that we eventually will do. It's still not planned, but I think we have discussed it and we want it eventually. Any other questions before I proceed with teams? Can you repeat that? The default options for storage. So it's basically you get an Azure disk. It's a premium disk that you get, which is SSD. So by default, when you request for a persistent volume, you just get an SSD there. I don't remember exactly any types. But yeah, I can search later for that if you want a more specific answer. Any other question? So the question is whether we support autoscaling. At the moment, no. But I think we may evaluate it in the future. Other questions? So far? The network on the nodes. So we are using OpenShift SDN. So yeah, once you are inside the private network of Azure, we have OpenShift SDN, which are answered by default. So I'm going to move forward with the teams here. So how we work with Microsoft is we have a couple of different ways. We have weekly BlueJeans calls where we sync up. We have our own dedicated Slack channel. Of course, emails, lots of emails. And we do most of our work. Actually, as Red Hat, we do all of our work on GitHub out in the Open. So there's a lot of back and forth in issues and pull requests. And of course, we are doing a question on face-to-face meetings, which are very helpful to move forward with delivering this service. Currently, the teams, how they are structured. Microsoft is mostly Pacific Standard Time. We are spread across different regions, across time zones. And the reason is because we are doing SRE. And we want to follow the Sun model, which is also what other companies such as Google are doing, where an SRE wakes up during normal work hours and they work on this product. Once they go to sleep, others in another region pick up, another time zone, they pick up the work. And it's only working during normal work hours. So this answers your question. We are going to have limited access into the cluster via Geneva. Geneva is an internal stack that Microsoft has for monitoring alerts, logging. And we are going to integrate with it initially at least because it's a very mature stack and it helps us a lot to kickstart this service. Our SREs are not going to have access to system admin for obvious reasons. And we are going to offer a couple of predefined actions via Geneva. So as an admin, you will be able to see the cluster status. You will be able to rotate any kind of credentials in the cluster. You will be able to restore from backups. And you are going to be able to do minor upgrades, minor updates, whether an image needs to be updated or something else, a secret or whatever. You can do that. How would you development? As I said earlier, GitHub. We have a couple of different repos that we are using. OpenShift Azure is the repo where we are developing the production code. It's where all the code plugins that we are shipping to Microsoft are developed. And we also develop a couple of custom images for our cluster. All are found in that repo. Then we have Azure MISC. Azure MISC is an accumulation of different SRE tools and some CI-related tools as well. For CI, we are using Prowl and CI operator. That's what also the rest of the OpenShift engineering teams are using, so we're taking advantage of it. And we have a lot of different tests. I tell you that. We are testing, especially in our E2E suits, we are testing everything. We are offering us administrative tasks, LCD backups and restores, key rotations, scale up, scale down, upgrades. We run origin conformance. We run a couple of other suits that our QE's have been building on their own. Lots of different tests. Let me go back to my demo. So do you guys going to scale up this cluster? Any takers? Okay, let's spend those dollars. So unfortunately, I requested my cluster to... I didn't, by default, we get four machines. So let me prove to you that the cluster is going to be scaled because as an end user, I don't have access to the nodes. Actually, let's sign into the service from the command line. So as an end user, I don't have access to view infrastructure, stuff. I have limited access, so I cannot view my nodes. But I'm here in my namespace. I have all my pods. And you will see that since we only have four nodes at the moment, two out of our five pods are running on the same node. Let's actually delete this build. It's annoying. So I'm going to scale up the cluster now. Unfortunately, I can only go up to five. I wanted to go initially from one to five, but I'm going to go from four to five. It's not that fancy, sorry. You have to pass. And I think that's pretty much it how you scale a cluster. So what happens behind the scenes is, you know, just a new VM comes up, and it's able to join the cluster as any other VM that we request. So apparently, the build pod... It's okay. Let's proceed with the talk. Yeah. How are we going to do support? Initially, so let's go over through the service possibilities. Everything related to the cluster lifecycle, such as installation, upgrades, and monitoring, upgrades actually is in both customers and ours. But most of the cluster lifecycle is false under our peer view. Security upgrades as well and support. It's going to be ours. Red Hat and Microsoft, customers. They have limited access to the cluster, but they are still able to manage their own users and their own quota. And that's able... They can do it because we offer them a set of customer roles, customer administration roles. So they are able to do that. Image registry management. That's with caveat because we deploy and upgrade the Docker registry as a service, but users are still responsible for cleaning up their images, so image pruning is still under their own peer view. And of course, application lifecycle and monitoring is still a customer's possibility. And then external service integration is still customers. Any questions so far? So the question is whether this is going to replace AKS. Probably not. Well, you know, it's a different product. AKS is Kubernetes offering that Microsoft offers on their own, and this is a different service that we offer jointly with Microsoft. Any other questions? How do we manage shared... So shared storage is... From a customer's perspective? Yeah, so this is... You get this all for free by using OpenShift. So for example, when you have a clustered database, you use a stateful set, and you just scale up your stateful set. And your stateful set, when you scale it up, it will request more storage, so more storage you will get. The other part of your question was regarding how we do HDD backups. Shared storage backups. So our customers. We expect this to be handled by OpenShift and Kubernetes at some point. I know there is a snapshot API, and we expect that it's going to be integrated into Azure. So as an end user, you will be able to say, I want to snapshot this application, and this is going to be offered by the product. It's not something that we are going to handle as a service. We expect to have it inside the product. And the other part of your question was do we as a service do backups of HDD? So right now we have two different ways of backup. We're doing backups. We have a Chrome job that runs periodically every one hour and takes a backup of HDD. And we're also going to be taking backups before every action. Before every admin action, we're going to take a backup of the cluster. And if something goes wrong, we have a different process that is going to be exposed via Geneva. And you will be able to select the backup that you're going to restore, and it's going to be really simple for an administrator to do it. And you will also be able, of course, to choose from different backups that I said earlier. And something else I'm missing here. Anyway, yeah, if I remember it very well, I'm going to say. Any other questions? So the question is whether you can skip image pruning. Okay, so the question is whether you can bypass and not use our registry at all. Yes, you can do that. You would have to... So the OpenShift registry, it has this ability to work as a pass-through registry. So you can use it as a cast of other registries. And you can still use... You can still use inside your port specs whatever registry you want to use. So you can... If you don't want to use the internal registry, you can not use it simply. Any other questions? Okay, let's look at how the scale-up went. Yeah, so it's there. So if I go back to the web console and I scale back to four and then back to five, we should see the new port getting scheduled to the new node. Okay, so I think it's better to probably delete it from here because scale-up and scale-down is... It chooses a pod in random to delete. Any other questions so far? So you see that the new pod lands on the new node, the fifth node. How are we going to do support? So it's going to be a similar experience almost as to what our customers and Microsoft customers are dealing with today. So everything is going to start from the portals, the Red Hat portal and the Microsoft Help for every customer. But all of them are going to be redirected to a single ticketing platform where they will be able to request for new tickets to be opened. And there is going to be ticket exchange between Microsoft and Red Hat. So issues fall under each one's correct... Everyone gets the issues they are supposed to work on. And that's, I think, pretty much it with support. A rough timeline. So we had the official announcement back in the last Red Hat Summit. We launched private preview last October. That was with no SLAs. Private preview 2 is just around the corner. I think in private preview 2 we are going to start offering SLAs. I'm not really sure about that. And we are planning for GA by the mid of this year. And a couple of references for you. On the top you have the OCP. This is the VME match that we are publishing. So as part of our service, we build the VME match. And that's what we use in our clusters. And that's in that link over there in the market place, the Azure Marketplace. And a couple of material, at least for private preview. All the documentation you can find in the GitHub Azure OpenShift repo. And there's the interest list for our customers. The last link. And with that I think I can open up the floor to any other questions that you may have. No more questions? The question is whether there are plans to support KubeVirt. At this point we have no plans who haven't really discussed it. If it's requested by our customers and lots of customers request it, we're going to add it eventually I think. But right now I don't think that we haven't really discussed about it. Other questions? Yes, so the question is whether there is plans to support a federation. So at this point we just want to make it easy for customers to spin up lots of clusters. This is a good question actually because if we say that we want to offer support for lots of different clusters, the cluster eventually is going to request federation. Right now I don't think there are any plans and the way we design our service, it may not be possible. I'm not really sure about it, but the same replies to the previous question. If it's going to be requested, we are going to seriously consider it. More questions? So you will get all those from Geneva. Yes, yes, eventually everything. So if we come up with a problem and that problem is we don't have information on how to debug this problem, what we do? We go and extend our cluster status action that you saw earlier. So this action over here. Eventually it's supposed to bring to have all the required information for us to debug issues. Other questions? Okay, thanks a lot for your attention, guys. Thank you.


Hi guys! Welcome to a new vlog. I just want to show you my outfit before we leave. My hair is wet from showering. I just got done editing my video, working out, everything. And like I said in my last video, where are we going Valerie? We're going to the back guys. Yes, so this is my like casual outfit. I think I've shown you guys this before. So uh yeah, it's just my little tiger shirt with biker shorts and my shoes. And what was the tip we gave them today, Valerie? What do we do? We bring our drinks. I swear, I think that the drinks at Five Guys cost like three dollars. Like two to three dollars for like a drink. Anyway, I don't know. Yeah, so I don't know. I just thought of that and save a couple books. Probably Sherry will get one because she's just meeting us after she gets done with work. Yeah, I just wanted to start the video. Okay, so I'm with Valerie obviously, quite little, quick little intro to this little segment. We're just really unlucky when it comes to let's just say fast food in general, right? Like okay, so you guys know our Panda Express saga. That's typically Sherry and I's deal. Pandas are like always out of stuff, right? And then we were out of Starbucks. They were out of stuff. They were out of chai and then they didn't have Gouda Sandwich and we were in South Carolina. Then we wanted to eat at this place called Sonic. I know probably many of you guys have heard about Sonic. And then we ordered and they're like, I'm sorry, we don't have hot dogs. Which is like what they're known for. But that's like Sonic's big thing, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, and then we're at Four Rivers. This was like back it up to like Memorial Day, I think it was. And we wanted ribs or our chicken and they're like, oh, we're all out of that. Like they're all out of the chicken, dark meat. They're all out of ribs. And then fast forward to like a couple days ago, we wanted Four Rivers again and we love the mac and cheese. Like we always get the mac and cheese. Valerie gets even like two orders of it sometimes. And they were all out of mac and cheese. That's our luck. I don't know, probably, but it's just really funny. And Valerie was joking around saying like, when we get to five guys, they're going to be like, there's national shortage and we just don't have hamburgers. So I will update you guys and let you know that they have hamburgers. Sherry hasn't been in the vlogs recently.  But we are here at five guys. Okay, so mothers went into order and I'm just holding up the fort out here, just so we have a table that we can eat outside at. Just chilling out on this beautiful evening. Valerie's got the goods. I do, I do. We have some goods. We didn't go through the right goods, but she's got some goods. Okay, so I got my plain dog here. Sherry, what did you get? You got a hamburger over there? I got cheeseburger. Cheeseburger. We know that Sherry loves cheeseburgers. We're splitting a large fry. And then this is Valerie's hamburger over here. She got, did they make it right? Onions, lettuce, three slices of cheese. Did they make it right? It looks like they did. Good, good. The next day. And this my friends is the completed look. We are going to downtown Disney or Disney Springs. I still call it downtown Disney. So I just decided to go pretty casual. I had to work today. So I wore these leggings and I just wanted to change my top and I just threw on the traditional mini ears because why not? I don't know. I just like putting together outfits and I just decided to take the time to put together a cute outfit when I can because we can go out now pretty much. So I did a light makeup today just because I felt like it, but I didn't do anything on my lips. I just kind of do what I feel. So I like my lips all the time. It's just a habit and just having something on my lips is just like kind of painful at times. And okay, let's just talk about washing your face before putting on makeup. I'm very like sensitive to things. So like food textures, makeup, that's why I like really didn't and still don't prefer to wear makeup because of just like the sensory aspect of it. Like sometimes it's just so uncomfortable, especially when I sweat.  So I just try not to wear makeup like today at work. Like I know I was going to sweat because I have to lift like sandbags and like sea stands and like all of that stuff. So I know I'm not going to wear makeup because it's just too hot. So because I sweated, is that the correct terminology? Well, because I sweated, I just felt my face like getting oily and stuff. So that's why I decided to wash my face. And basically I just wash it with Irish spring soap and water just because I don't know, there's just so many chemicals. I know there's a lot of chemicals and just like Irish spring soap, but there's also a lot of chemicals and like stuff in other face washes. So I don't know, I'm not really big into skincare. And that's just that. I don't know, maybe I'll get into it a little later in life. But as for now, I'm just don't really like skincare because all of those products and stuff are like super expensive and knock on wood or knock on my head. I haven't had horrible acne in the sense of like needing specialized skincare.  So like I just had really bad experiences. So I just stick to the basics. And the reason why I put a shower cap on to wash my face is because soap always gets in my hair.  It's like brushing my teeth.  You know, I don't know, maybe I'm just like weird like that. But I need to put on the shower cap because I've tried so many things like headbands and stuff.  So that's why I put on the shower cap because it just helps like keep the soap off of my like hairline if you know what I mean. I know it's kind of weird and now I'm rambling. But I just thought I would explain that because I want to have a conversation with you guys in the comments because is it just me like how do you wash your face and make sure you get all the crevices and like everything without getting other things around your face wet. I just really can't do it. All right, on to whatever I film next.  Tell them what happened Valerie. Oh my god. I will try to insert the footage here because I want to try to save it. It was so funny. Well we've had all these like frogs and little snakes and and that lizard that got in the house and the frogs that have been scaring us. Well and Alex and I thought Alex was going to tell me there was a frog on me and she pointed to my stomach and she got up and she would look so uh there were expression and I thought she's going to tell me there's a frog on me so I screamed. I said oh my gosh and Valerie goes oh my god that's right. I hope the security company doesn't call the police. I couldn't remember exactly what you said because I said oh my gosh and you go which really confused you. Yeah all right we're on our way to Disney Springs and I'm going to try to pull that clip for you guys. All you want to tell me what you like about. Yeah because she's wearing her new Disney belt. Did we show you guys? I think we showed you guys. Well we don't need to show them now. No. With it on. She doesn't want to model it. No I don't. Okay. You guys just saw it caught on tape and leave a comment down below. Did you laugh as hard as we are laughing? Oh my god that is so funny. So funny. I thought for sure there was a frog on me. I thought Alex was going to say there's a frog on you. Oh my god. She just waits until there really is one. Oh man. That was so funny. Or a lizard or a little snake or something on me. Oh my gosh. Okay so Sherry what did you get? My Japanese fried chicken. Yeah this is my Japanese chicken nuggets with teriyaki sauce and something called a pizza bun. Pizza bun and Valerie got her usual. Her usual yasaki bowl. Sherry how's your food? We've come into Ranjan because my mom is looking for a shirt for my cousin. It's basically a shirt that's like a Ranjan shirt but it has like a surfer as an astronaut probably hinting like you know astronaut in the ocean. So I don't know we'll see if we can find it. Okay so my cousin wants this print but like with a long sleeve shirt. All right so we found this shirt. A nice guy helped us here find it but we got the black one. They have two different colors but here's the astronaut in the ocean and it's like a short sleeve shirt. They said they didn't have the ones with the long sleeves and then they also have this gray color. Valerie loves the vibe here. You can tell. We stopped into Co-op to look at some merchandise and they have all this section of like cruise line and like all this cruise line stuff in this whole section. Here is the cruise line merchandise some of it and they have a lot of uh 2021 merchandise out on display. Valerie just said oh my gosh all right I had to video this because this is like a fake well it's not fake but it is a inspired Cartier wristband kind of like the one I'm wearing that's like oh my god that is so funny it's Mickey Mouse version how funny is that so I think that is going to be it for this video I hope you guys enjoyed it bye bye make sure to give this video a thumbs up subscribe to my channel comment down below your reaction to the funny video we caught on camera and I'll see you guys in my next video bye


This is Nate Adams with energy smart home performance and you're looking at an infrared at a heated floor in the basement of a Deep energy retrofit that I worked on. It's called the treehouse at Hiram College These warm lines up there. That's the refrigerant lines from the mini split going upstairs to heat it But I wanted to show you an infrared anyway, how the system works So right here is the water heater. This is actually a heat pump water heater, which uses electricity And pulls the heat out of the area that it's in which is a little bit tricky here Because if you're trying to pull the heat out that it's putting in it doesn't necessarily work out And we tried it out with just straight heat pump and it fell behind so it does need some resistance to Actually keep it heated in the basement, but If you see this thing on the wall that's warm right there, so it's showing about 91 That is the heat transfer so This right here is where the heat is coming in from the water heater and then it comes through and it goes to here Which goes to the floor so you can't mix Potable or drinkable water along with water from the floor system So this is where the transfer takes place and then the cold water comes back from the floor here and out of the That the heat transfer unit here on this pipe So you note up here This is not very accurate really because I'm trying to pull off of a metal which doesn't read well, but that's showing about 87 and That about jives With what I'm feeling so it's it's warm, but it's not super warm. So maybe it's 95 Something along those lines actually in there you go. You're seeing the 95 there And then it's transferring to this pipe at around 80 degrees 77 78 and then when it comes back it's coming back at That that feels about right because it feels cool So coming back in the mid 60s, and then it's coming out of the heat transfer at 70 ish so all these temperatures are probably off by a little bit, but it's it's at least an idea of what's going on But this system works really nicely the basement stays nice and cozy It used to be in the 50s down here in the winter and now it's no problem at all to keep it in the 70 range So There was an idea that initially I wasn't super enthused about I would have preferred to just put a mini-split head down here But this ended up working out really quite well So I have to get the energy monitor working and figure out exactly how much juice it takes to do this And I'll understand more. Thanks for watching You


Elisabeth Guigo, thank you for being on WPC-TV, you're the former French Minister of Justice. But I want to ask you about how you see the future of the European Union. You've been on the panel this morning with that, and obviously you have Brexit, there's a right-wing trend, a populist trend in Central and Eastern Europe. How should the EU progress? Well, first I think that Brexit can be an opportunity for the European Union, because it's beginning, we are beginning to see that of course it's a bad event for the whole of Europe, but it's a tragedy for the UK, and I hope that one day it will be possible for the UK to come back. Thanks to Mr. Trump, who said to the Europeans that they should take their own problems, tackle their own problems and manage their own destiny, I think that we will be forced to go ahead. And in my view, of course the European Union has to reinforce itself, and we have to really have a complete economic and monetary union, and we are on the good way for that. We need to develop a capacity on defence. I think the consciousness has grown, but we have to look outside of ourselves, not to be so euro-centered. And in my view, the euro pessimism, pessimism, the euro austerity comes from the fact that the European Union, which built itself on internal question, peace and prosperity, has failed to tackle the global questions that create anxiety amongst our citizens, and that in the global world this is no longer possible. So unless we do what we succeeded to do after the World War II, that is find solutions to the fears and anxieties of our citizens, but today those anxieties crystallise on what do we have a decline in Europe? Are we going to control migrations? Are we ready and can we fight terrorism? Can we have more cooperation on climate? Those are the essential questions, and I don't see how I'm sure that there is a growing consciousness that we have to work together on these questions first with Africa, and of course it remains important to work on the stability of the continent with Russia, for example, but we really have to be aware that there is the first strategic priority for Europe is now to look south, which is Africa and the Middle and Near East. Yes, because we're obviously lessen the problem of immigration, which of course becomes a populist issue in the European Union. You see it centrally in Hungary and Czech Republic, Slovakia and so on. Yes, I see what you mean. We haven't done anything on that. We have not accomplished the whole Schengen project. I negotiated the Schengen Convention, I know what's inside when we suppressed the internal borders of Europe. We also wrote that we should strengthen the control of our external borders, but even if we do that, and I think we are having progress on that, even if we do that, we very well know that the medium and long-term solution, the real solution is on development of immigration countries, and where do migrants come? They come from, of course, countries in war, like Syria, but in Iraq and Libya, of course, but they come from Africa, the problems of development in general, not only jobs, but health, but education. And so because Africa is a continent that has a lot of potentialities, I think we Europeans have to make understood that Africa is not only a problem. Those problems we have to tackle in cooperation, but Africa has a chance for you. Let me ask you a final question. You said Schengen, of course. Britain was not in the Schengen area. Eurozone integration is a great ambition and so on, but is the future of the, if you look ahead for the European Union, is it going to be a Europe of variable genre of concentric circles, multispeed, et cetera, or can it really be a one-size-fits-all Europe? No, I think we are heading towards a more differentiated Europe. I'm not talking about circles, because if you say circle, you say some are inside and some outside. I think we've got to do what we did with the Euro and Schengen, saying a few countries saying, this is what we want to do. We are open to anyone who wants and who can do what we want. And so it should be an open process. But I think, of course, we will not be able in the future to do everything at the same time. What we have to secure as a unity of Europe is respect of our values, respect of the state of law, separation of powers, which is not the case in Poland, I'm sorry, by the government, not by the Polish people. And we have to respect that. And of course, I think that there are, for the whole of the European Union, there are a few policies that can be tackled and be conducted with the whole of the Union. Certainly, energy is one, energy and climate. And Africa. Elizabeth Kigu, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks to you.
