I pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands One nation under God Indivisible with liberty and justice for all Thank You all of them Berg Next we have public forum madam clerk first on the list would be Tom Gessler Tom could you give us your home address, please? 1711 south 12th Street Sheboygan south 12. Yes, okay, and you will have five minutes Tom Okay, I was reading through the agenda tonight, and I see number two in misinformation in the community I wanted to make a couple comments on that One of the big misunderstandings I believe has to do being this time of year with taxes coming up has to do with the Wages and the salary of the city employees Okay, I hear on the radio one time they have a call and show somebody's making a hundred and eighteen thousand dollars a year Next time we're here on the shoulder making ninety the next time I hear they're making eighty Okay, I don't have a problem with that, but I think it's a big misunderstanding what I'm proposing is The Sheboygan press could possibly Publish the wages and the salaries of the city employees being that it is public record could possibly Published that once a year or every other year, and then they could also put with that The requirements such as you must have a master's degree for this particular job or The education that might be required because somebody might look and say gee this fell is making ninety five thousand dollars a year Well, then they're gonna have to show that Perhaps they had six eight years of college and that would be the reason why Okay, the next The next thing I have a comment on is the spaceport I think that we should take a real hard look before we make this okay because Right now we have several other projects in the community that I've talked to other people about such as the Marina Blue Harbor and a lot of the people are telling me They can't afford to sponsor this stuff anymore. It's getting quite costly They're afraid the taxes this year were were about even very good I think you guys did a good job But they're afraid in the in the near future if we do something big project such as this spaceport that Taxes are gonna jump up considerably and a lot of people have Concerned about this issue including myself. I would say that we should really look into these big projects and Maybe do some real good investigating because I really don't think the people can afford some of these projects right now and In closing, I'm just trying to say I'm not against development I think that it's great that we have development in this city As a matter of fact, I'd like to see maybe 10 or 12 industries come here to pay a respectable wage $15-$20 an hour. I think it would it would be great. I'm for development all the way But I'm just asking that you really consider when you do these larger projects Keep the taxpayer in mind and look at the long term 20-25 years down the road what could happen? Thank you. Thank you, Tom Next on the list is Lee Montemay or Maybe could you give us your home address, please? 1015 Logan, Sheboygan, Wisconsin And you'll have five minutes. Thank you madam city clerk Richard's mayor and the council for allowing me this time To express my concerns tonight. I bring up the subject of electrical shock weapons Which I think may be a liability to our city Due to the lack of medical studies on these weapons The testing of a single pig and five dogs before being issued to law enforcement departments is flawed The studies do not include the immediate and future effects on humans These studies are now being conducted by law enforcement And are leaving a trail of dead and injured humans that seems to be have been used as guinea pigs As a result of this There are numerous lawsuits against the manufacturer due to the lack of information and about its non lethal weapons claim The first of many trials against this product is currently in progress Various city and police departments are also in the process of the lawsuits for wrongful death claims Millions of dollars have already been awarded in wrongful death in humane and excessive force complaints The use of these weapons on humans is highly questionable to say the least and all of them dead humans do not talk Because the company no longer can claim that the weapon is non-lethal Many police departments have now stopped or suspended the use of these weapons. I Asked this council to please Not use these weapons until you have made rules on this usage My first suggestion would be not to require Our police officers to be electrocuted in order to carry this weapon The manufacturer of this weapon requires a signed waiver stating that the individual Will not bring a legal action against this product or the manufacturer before volunteering I do not want my police officers to be Suggested to this sadistic and inhumane torture just to be authorized to carry this weapon We don't require officers to get shot by a bullet in order to carry a gun and this weapon is just as deadly The restriction on the deployment of this weapon should be one step above the use of a firearm and then and only then Perhaps tightly regulating rules would save lives and legal actions Against our city and law enforcement officers Wish at this time we could ill afford All a person this gun is what causes possible death This little device here It's an implanted defibrillator that saves lives the gun causes possible sudden death Fibrillation by an electrical shock and the internal defibrillator Electrically shocks the heart back to a normal heart rhythm If we could implant this device into everyone then we could solve the problem of sudden death caused by an electrical stun gun But this is neither probable or feasible The gun cost is $800 This is $25,000 and doesn't include the medical cost to implant the device As you can see it's a lot less to kill a human than to save a human's life Life is precious and I ask that you take every precaution you have in your power to prevent possible death In our country all citizens are innocent until proven guilty And not restricting the use of this weapon makes the user judge jury an executioner But just pull the trigger on this torture weapon Thank you Thank You Lee Next on the list is Jeff Schucho Jeff could you give us your home address, please? Yes, my address is 2303 South 17th Street And you will have five minutes Thank you The subject I'd like to discuss tonight is in regards to the Wisconsin Aerospace Science Complex and spaceport and The topic in particular is utilization of mass transit for visitors coming from out of town This service might be utilized by using existing mall parking lots just off the interstate exits coming into Sheboygan The malls will draw additional business to their stores Mass transit usage by visitors will alleviate traffic and parking congestion in downtown and lakefront areas also Our former Sheboygaul invasion problem area west of the south side Pigley-Wigley could possibly be utilized for parking I Then made some cost time analysis revenue generating Rough estimates that'll just help give us an idea as to what sort of Help this might be in revenue generation for our community here Low-end estimate for weekends based on the 52-day weekends a year Times 500 visitors a day equals 50,000 visitors a year in that 52-day weekend period The high-end estimate of those weekends based on two 50-day weekends a year By 1,500 visitors a day would equal 150,000 visitors a year See three months of summer weekdays equals 60 weekdays during the summer months 500 visitors a day times 60 weekdays equals 30,000 visitors a year D nine months of fall winter and spring weekdays times 250 visitors a day equals 45,000 visitors a day now I broke this down a little bit for everyone because obviously as the seasons change We could expect that the attendance at a facility such as this would vary also accordingly Now low and the next step would be obviously to tally up these totals on a low-end and high-end basis Low-end yearly visitor estimate totals a plus c plus d equals 125,000 visitors a year now I based a based a fee on our current charges for mass transit utilization in this in this study Which would be shuttle service provided three dollars charge to a shuttle service Times 125,000 visitors a year would equal revenue of 375,000 dollars a year that would come directly from mass transit the high-end yearly visitor estimate totals B plus C plus D Which equals 225,000 visitors a year a $3 charge for a two-way shuttle service times 225,000 visitors a year equals 675,000 dollars a year in revenue Presently mass transit operates at a loss costing taxpayers approximately $600,000 a year so we might even be able to see mass transit turn into a profitable entity for our community This came to mind when I Read an article about concerns in the press and I looked at a lot of these other concerns also This was an article Named titled Sheboygan's future in space dated 12 1105 and I've looked at these and I'd be happy to address them in the future and I've already done some studies on the Sheboygan County Airport and the requirements that might be incurred by that for the civilian aerospace program the support Missions that would be required for the satellite launching and future shuttle launches out in the Lake Michigan Which by the way in regards to some of these problems. I've been informed that that that Platform might resemble a giant oil rig which would be Quite possibly a couple miles offshore So a lot of noise issues and a lot of issues that have been raised in that article May not really be an issue at all and I would just encourage the media and the citizens to keep an open mind towards this because I View this as possibly one of the greatest revenue Enhancing opportunities that we've ever seen here. Thank you very much. Thank you, Jeff Next on the list is John Burner John, can you give us your home address, please? 1919 Broadway And you will have five minutes. Okay. Good evening mayor council members I listened to Mrs. Montmire and I was going to speak of something else, but I like to comment on what he has talked about How many people in this common council ever had to subdue somebody somebody that was really Quackle kind of Not just a drunk, but somebody overpowering other than you have Mr. Montmire. Yes, sir. Not easy task All through high school. That was my job. No, not just high school. We're not talking about kids anymore We're talking people big People on drugs. Mr. Burner, please address the council. You're here to let our drugs people are an alcohol It's not an easy task You talk about It has a lethal weapon People in the martial arts their hands are lethal weapons boxers hands lethal weapons A pen is a lethal weapon used in a wrong way. There is Just about everything the police officer carries can be considered a lethal weapon laws Who's have been brought against police for the use of patons hand cuffs? You name it When you some it's a last resort and What as a last resort you want to use is a bullet or something? Hopefully will not harm the man or woman physically There is nothing certain in this life except death To say something is bug free You can't I think instead of taking out a revolver a nine millimeter this Other weapon as you want to call it I Would consider that to be the best method because they're not going to use it unless they Absolutely have to they're going to treat it as any other kind of firearm And if you don't think the police are going to do it that way I Then you don't have much faith in you faith in the police department. I Think it is a better option than to have nine millimeter rounds flying around with some somebody that's just Gone a little out of proportion I mean they just didn't walk in the courthouse They use the song on twice on the person got him into an ambulance into a hospital right away Now if they would have had a taken out a pistol You know It was up in the courthouse. I mean how many people are in a courthouse Please don't get to pick the grounds they work on it Just comes when it comes And another thing I I was thinking about and bothered me from the lab from common council meetings back is when people saying well We can cut the overtime and the police don't have to issue as many tickets and another thing was The city is not a collection agency for fines. Well, that's probably why there's so many fines over the city somebody has to collect them and I don't think the police like working all this overtime. I wouldn't I mean that's a very Small area in a vehicle They speed to be spending how many hour after hours With just your communications and then if you go out and get a coffee in the doughnut you get a he's getting his doughnut now I I Don't think they like the overtime neither. I know when we're working. Yes, we're happy to help people out with the overtime but after a while hey no, I Didn't care for it. It takes away from your your your family and the stress I'm certain the stress and the police officers being combined and with what they do and That's all I got to say. Thank you, John And last on the list is Don Cook Don, could we have your home address, please? 923 Dillingham Avenue Dillingham. Yes, you'll have five minutes I would like to thank Mayor Perez and the members of the Common Council for this opportunity to speak I would like to take this time to talk about the safety of our police officers and the general public We all go to work every day expecting to return home uninjured We expect to work in a safe environment and be given the tools to be able to work safely We should be treating the police department in the same manner Through November of this year. The police department has had 32 deputy Duty-incurred injuries due to struggles with uncooperative citizens Six of those injuries were severe enough to result in medical attention Other than first aid at a cost of the city of over $6,000 In recent past years, there were three very serious injuries that might have been prevented if the officers had the tasers One had serious knee damage one had a brain injury and one had a sold shoulder injury The medical cost for these three injuries alone is now over a hundred five thousand dollars This cost is still climbing because two of the three injured officers are still receiving medical treatment for their injuries Through November of this year. The police department has logged 50 lost time days Duty injuries caused from struggles with uncooperative citizens at a cost of about ten thousand dollars With these rates one-third of all officers can expect to be injured on the job every year at a large cost to the city tasers are a tool police officers can use to subdue the uncooperative citizens safely and quickly According to statistics released by the Cincinnati police department tasers have helped decrease police officer injuries by 56 percent and suspect injuries by 35 percent Spending the money on tasers whether from the budget or from donations is A small price to pay to help guarantee the safety of our police officers the innocent bystanders and the uncooperative citizens They are trying to control. I commend the older persons who voted keep to keep the tasers in the budget and accept the anonymous donations to fund them Our police officers should have the same right to go home at the end of a shift uninjured as you and I do. Thank you Thank you, Don Thank you everyone The next item on the agenda is one of the things that america gets to do That I most definitely find great pleasure in doing And yet at the same time find great sadness Pleasure because we get to recognize an individual who has Demonstrated over and over again his commitment and devotion to our community Sadness because he has decided to retire so he will no longer be a part of our staff Although I think he won't be leaving us for too long. You might be around I'm speaking of chief zire and I'd ask that he please step forward. I'd like to recognize you, sir Chief Zire began working with the Shabuigan fire department in 1972. I believe And that's an interesting date for me because that's when I graduated from high school So I decided to go to college that so I can remember that from now on But chief Zire has worked himself up the ranks. He became a Chief of fire chief. He has done a remarkable outstanding job He has distinguished himself both at their professional and advocate for his department and advocate for the community We will certainly miss you and the great job that you've done Although I know that you've left behind a great legacy and a great man to follow your footsteps Chief Zire and I have not always agreed this morning was one instance But he has always been a respectful man Very courteous very decent and very professional And although we don't agree at all times and in times we do I still have great respect and admiration for you Chief Zire for the faithful and dedicated service to the Shabuigan fire department of the city of Shabuigan Hereby recognized Thank you very kind I don't know mayor Perez madam clerk city attorney McLean members of this Common Council members of many many previous Common Councils that I've worked for and the citizens of Shabuigan who I have proudly Sir who I've been able to proudly serve and who have given me a lot of support over my years of department I Serve this department as a fire for over 12 years For as an officer for a 16 years and as your fire chief for the last five years It's been an honor and a pleasure to work for one of the best cities in the state of Wisconsin we owe that To you the council to previous councils to give all of us the tools to make this say that great city That's been written about safest city best city to live It also is a reason for the reason we got that is from our city employees All the city employees work hard to make this city a great city And I also want the citizens to know that in my five years as being a department head I have worked with excellent department heads who always think in the best interest of the city Who try and spend the money in the right way and do the right thing? We aren't always perfect, but we worked as a team to make this city what it is as our predecessors also did So to all city employees. I thank you for your cooperation with my department to my department Who I'm very very proud of We'll give it all to the citizens of the city day in and day out I thank you for your support of me and the staff to make this department one of the best in the state I'd also like the citizens to know That yes I'm leaving but there's a good man coming to take my place And you can be assured that he will give his best to make sure the city should wagon is a very safe place to live Thank you. I'm honored And I'll miss you, but I'm a stage boy Next item when the agenda Will be the mayor's comments. There's three things I'd like to briefly touch on and then there's any alderman that would like to Perhaps discuss these issues a little couple of issues further. I'd be glad to talk to you about them One is the citizens budget survey that we're conducting right now and one is refers to misinformation in the community The citizens budget survey is an ongoing thing right now People have the opportunity to respond to the concerns that were raised during the 16 listening sessions The deadline for the survey to do you allow to to complete is December 31st, so there's still Some time left if there's anyone that would like to respond the survey itself has generated some controversy More so because a couple of things that I can recall that have stood up more than anything else One being that perhaps there should have been Some staff involvement in the construction of the questions There's reasons why there wasn't any staff involvement in construction But if I offended any of my department heads for not including you I apologize to you We all learn as above long have only been a mayor eight months I'm doing the best I possibly can Put in 10 12 hours a day working hard Just keeping my eyes focused on what we needs to be done Trying to regroup restructure rebuild and that's all I'm trying to do. I'm not out to get anyone I'm not out to offend anyone I'm not out to tarnish anyone's reputation I'm not out to get any department head or any department in general. I Just want to do a good job and that was a whole basis for doing the survey The survey will have value and I think it will have tremendous value to me as I put together the next budget We've heard and we all know that next year is not going to be an easy year Fiscally, we're gonna have some tough times again and when there's tough times Tough times can get a little disruptive for government disruptive for Departments and so forth. I asked be patient with me. I asked department heads to be patient with me I'm going to do my job as fairly and equitable as I possibly can I've said many many times. I will not pick favorites. I cannot pick favorites. I Don't run one department. I have to run the entire city and I have to be very careful That I don't start picking favorites because that's not fair to the ones that aren't the favorites So again, the citizen budget survey is ongoing December 31st the deadline you can still pick up forms in my office You can fill it out online that's being done as we speak and I hope that all citizens and anyone else From the city departments will participate and give me their input with respect to the questions that we're asking Next that the next item would be the misinformation in the community Shiboyan is a great city. We have lots of great people In particular, we have lots of great people who care about our government and they've gotten involved in our government more than ever I think when I was an alderman one of my dreams was to really bring city government to the spotlight. I Wanted people to see what we're doing. I wanted people to see how we spend our money I wanted people to see how we conduct ourselves and we conduct business. I wanted people to see How great we were. I wanted people to see how concerned we were about them and their lives and their jobs and livelihoods and how our power as a council Impacts their lives Whether we want to or not every time we vote We impact somebody's life in some way Minor or large we do it every time we meet as a committee as a council. I Know you know that I don't have to say that But I say that because we can never forget the power that this council has over a community and That the vote that you make or cast does not impact just your district But the entire community when it's taken collectively so collectively this council has a lot of power The misinformation comes in When votes go one way or go the other way When a survey is constructed in such a way that perhaps somebody didn't like And there's information that comes out In chat lines Sometimes radio sometimes out in the streets sometimes in our own departments And people have a tendency to express themselves And I will never deny anyone the opportunity to do that. That's what this whole country is about Our freedom to be able to express ourselves any way we'd like Without having to be fearful of that but I ask That if you have a doubt That there's information out there. It's not true Please call the office. Please call your alderman and talk to them ask them is this true? Mr. Gessler made a comment earlier About how every time you hear about who is making how much money it changes There shouldn't there shouldn't be a reason for that to happen. It shouldn't happen in radio It shouldn't happen in the paper. It shouldn't happen in our hallways. It shouldn't happen in our city departments It shouldn't happen at all Yet it does and we have to live with that because we're only human beings, but I ask That if you don't know Please find out we're not gonna withhold any information from anyone. We are a public records institution Everything is done up on top and if it's not you come talk to me We're gonna make sure it is Find out take it upon yourself to find out what is true because there can be a lot of rumor a lot of gossip a lot of innuendo a lot of entertainment Some people just have fun with it But if it's not true it can be Damaging to our community it can be damaging to this effort to unite this council to unite this community It can hurt us so I ask please take it upon yourselves to find out what is true And if it's true we deal with it if it's not and we have to correct it We have a duty and an obligation to our community and to ourselves To make sure that when we talk about things They're true Haven't said that It's a time to reflect what we've done in the past. We're going into a new year Christmas is coming great times of head. I Have a lot to be thankful for I Have a lot to be very grateful for and having to work with a council that I have now Again as I said earlier, we may not always agree, but that's okay That's okay We move on and life goes on and we have to conduct business nonetheless and make the best decisions possible For our community. That's all we're here for. I want to wish everyone and I hope I don't get in trouble folks a Very very Merry Christmas because lately you can't say that but that's the way my parents taught me Until someone can teach me otherwise. I will do what my parents taught me Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to every one of you.

Serrick our president if there is questions that there are questions that relate to how they arrived at this figure Thank you alderman bird Under discussion alderman susha Thank you, mr. Mayor. I was unable to attend the civil service meeting. I really had wanted to Discuss this issue with those folks I want to talk a little bit about some of the extremes that the city goes to when it comes to salaries I know the last couple of meetings. I've gotten up and I've spoken about some of the positions receiving Guaranteed 25 percent pay increase over a three-year period of time When they're promoted and I don't really agree with a 25 Pay increase over a period of time. I do agree that if somebody is promoted they do deserve A one-time pay increase, but then it should not drag into the second year in the third year But on the other extreme when you look at the way we're treating some of our new newly hired employees We promise them a pay increase if they successfully complete the probationary period And after that we told them they'd get a pay increase and what's been happening is Uh, they they make it through that and we give them a zero percent increase So my question is what type of incentive are we giving to these employees these new people If you tell them you're going to give them a raise and they do what they're supposed to do They deserve some type of a raise even if it's the 1.5 percent at the end of the six month period Another extreme is when you look at what the library library board did last week when they Gave the library director a five-year unprecedented contract paying a minimum of over 94 thousand dollars a year and put provisions in there that virtually make it impossible to Relieve that person of their duties Without paying them the full five hundred thousand dollars worth of the contract You compare that to the other extreme where the aldermanic pay Right now is at 89 dollars a week I'll say that again the alderman are paid 89 dollars a week There are a few facts that I think we need to lay on the table first of all the proposed increase For the alderman from the civil service commission would take effect in 2007 In all likelihood all of the alderman that are in this room right now Probably won't be in office in 2007. So there's no guarantee that any of us are going to benefit from this pay increase As it was stated the aldermanic pay has been frozen since 2003 The proposed increase from the civil service commission would increase the aldermanic pay by one dollar and 35 cents a week in 2007 This is after four years of no pay increase and then in 2007 we'd get an extra one dollar and 35 cents per week And the last well one at second last point is that you have to remember that this year minimum wage was increased From 515 an hour to five dollars and 70 cents an hour The last fact is that the minimum wage that is paid to the alderman Is not the cause of the financial problems of the city Now I believe that right now I'm the only elder person who currently lives at home with my children and chooses the profession of a full-time mother If I choose to go back to the workforce in the private sector as I did for 16 years I could easily earn more than the highest paid city official I'm not making this motion to line my own pockets This motion is strictly to reflect the increase in the aldermanic pay So they are not earning less than minimum wage Therefore, I amend this document to make the annual salary for alderman in 2007 5,154 dollars a year instead of the 4,738 dollars And then in 2008 the pay would be 5,231 dollars, which would reflect the 5.1 increase Is there a second to that motion to amend? There's a second excuse me who's seconded it all one month now. Thank you Is there any discussion on just the amendment And the amendment being madame clerk, please the amendment is to Correct me if I'm wrong alderman sushi for 2007 the alderman salary would be 5,154 per year And in 2008 it would be 5,231 per year. Is that correct? Any discussion Okay, I had some light blinking on the previous motion Is there anybody that would like to talk on the amendment? Alderman Cigale you were next on the other motion. Do you want to talk on the amendment? Okay, alderman van der wheel you were next on the first motion. Do you want to talk on the amendment? Okay, alderman ratke do you want to talk on them then you're up alderman ratke Thank you your honor Attorney mcqueen If I heard all the reperson sushi correctly, this is directly to This if we amend this to five thousand one hundred fifty four dollars per year None of us sitting here right now is guaranteed. We're going to see any of that money, correct? So we thought we'll misinformation before your honor and Just to make the clarification is I heard you state when this first came to the council This would not take effect till after the 2007 election Which in essence means that not one of us sitting here is entitled to any of this money unless we are reelected That's right alderman ratke. There's a statute that says an alderman can't increase their their salaries While they're in office for their their term. That's why you see that the salary for 2006 is Set at the same salary it is for 2005 Thank you attorney mcqueen any more discussion on just the amendment We will call the roll on just the amendment Okay, um, let's see Meyer Montemayor Racky sagali Stefan Sushia hi van akron. Oh van der wheel Bauman Dberg eberg Serta Davis graph kittleson And mani Four eyes and 12 nose motion fills On the original motion is presented by the civil service commission Alderman sagali under discussion Thank you, mr. Mayor. I guess when it comes to increasing of balderman's salary. I didn't go into this With the thought of uh increased the salary on or how much we were being paid I went into this to help the people in my district in this community Um, the money it was nice to have and it's nice to have but to try to give us increases I I think we all knew what we were coming into when we took this job and we were we we were elected And I I will both know against anything that comes for raises for the alderman. Thank you Alderman van der wheel Thank you your honor Just explain myself a little bit my constituents have asked me to control salaries within the city So I voted against raises for salary salaried workers in the past including the mayor's salary, which was last year and uh Today I'll vote against the increase in the alderman's salary because in 2007 times will still be tight The first place we should be tightening our balances in the salaries of the department heads and the elected officials And nowhere does my vote imply that any of these people including the alderman in 2007 don't deserve a raise. Thank you Any further discussion All in the mire Thank you, mr. Mayor. Um, I do Um, agree with alderman shusha on her analysis on the pay for the alderman But I do believe that our city is in very very financial restraints right now And I think we should have a freeze on any kind of Wage increases for all people in all departments of the city And I wish I could support a raise, but at this point I can't Alderman susha second time Thank you, mr. Mayor Well for the record alderman do not have to be paid minimum wage. I just thought it would be equitable if alder people were paid minimum wage Um, but I I I do agree and I look forward to alder person's mire resolution freezing all wages I think that the alderman have set the example for years already of frozen wages It's just for all of you that are going to vote No to the dollar 35 increase per week for the alderman in 2007 I think you need to look real hard at the way you've been saying yes to the raises to the other people in the city It's one thing to stand up and say I won't give anyone else a pay increase or we have to do something But then you continue to vote to increase increase increase and I understand that some of the increases are in the In the municipal code that way But um as far as the extra dollar 35 cents a week that probably isn't going to do a whole lot Um, I mentioned 89 dollars a week is what alderman are currently being paid As far as the expenses associated with an alder person I would say 89 dollars Barely covers my expenses for the week So I'm not here to make money, but I'm not here to lose money I'll put my time in at a zero percent zero dollars per hour But I do expect the expenses to be covered So, um, I think the dollar 35 a week is rather insult things. So therefore I might as well vote no Alderman serda Thank you, honor Just to clarify as far as those older persons who do vote for pay increases for Other staff members. I think it's important that people keep in mind that we are not in full control of setting those wages We work with unions. We can't just come in and say freeze because we can push things into arbitration and lose full control Um, as far as my our own salaries, I think it's important to start with ourselves first I think it's more of an issue of principle at this time. How can we expect To give ourselves a pay increase when we're telling the citizens that we really need to be holding the line and as far as spending Thank you. Thank you Any further discussion or being on please call the roll and this would be just on the ordinance that was presented by the civil service commission Which if you vote for it, there's a raise if you vote no, there's none. Okay Please call the roll. Montemay or No Radke sagali Stefan no Susha no Van Akron no Vander wheel no Baumann no Dberg no Eberg no Serda no Davis no Graf no Kittleson no Manny Well, yes Okay And Meyer One aye 15 nos motion fails 17 third Attorney please just for clarification council You've defeated this ordinance Where that stands is currently there is no provision for any wages for alderman in 2006 2007 or 2008 If your intent is to keep it at 4668 There should be a document Coming in at the next meeting to do that if that's your intent otherwise You're not you're going to get zero And maybe that's what you want to do. I don't know We'll take your work for free. How's that? That it thank you attorney mclean 17 36 under matters laid over resolution number 199 0506 by alderman graff meyer and van akron authorizing the city to enter into a contract for obtaining medical stop-loss insurance Alderman graff Thank you your honor.

You can handle these eggs, yeah Yeah, we'll go ahead and get those eggs out Don't want a rat steal nose No No, I'll never want that And then if you come out here and save those eggs from those mice, I mean rats they You might scare them away. I think I am that's what I'm going to try to do Welcome back to the channel y'all I've got a crazy video for you here today because we are going rat hunting in the backyard It's unfortunate that I even have to say that but yes our chicken coop has gotten infested with rats We live in the woods as you can see and there's field rats that are coming out of the woodworks this year for some reason They're getting up around the house and obviously having a chicken coop I've got that feed But with chicken wire in the bottom But there's still open areas where they can crawl right in there and they were getting a feast at night I recently got out the thermal binoculars just to kind of check that Check out what's going on in the backyard and I discovered a ton of rats up in the chicken coop So typically some rat traps might get the job done if you got a few Maybe some rat poison, but we have a lot of rats and it just so happens that I'm a hunter I have an ir scope I have thermals and I have an amazing pellet gun that can get the job done on these big rats So I've got my air force air rifle the condor ss That is perfect for taking out backyard squirrels or any other pests and I've used it a lot over the last couple years The only problem is I need a picatinny rail on my condor Which I don't have but it just so happens. I live close to air force air guns They're right here and around Fort Worth and burleson, Texas So i'm just going to make a trip down there and they are going to fix me up with a picatinny rail and even clean My rifle out and it turns out I had some Dirt doppers that got in there that were uh They're crusting up the inside of the barrel. So they hooked me up got me fresh All clean barrel. They they put on the irscope. We even sited in The the condor right there and we got it dialed to 20 yards So shout out to air force for getting me hooked up on these parts now. This condor is a 25 caliber Pellet gun so it is bigger than a 22. It's bigger than your typical 17 caliber that's on a regular pellet gun. This thing will absolutely pop You know, I've got raccoons possums all the typical backyard pests that you think of So on top of my air force rifle, I've got the sight mark wraith, which is an ir scope It records 4k and I've also got an upgraded ir light which is made by Sniper hog. It's a company out of texas southern texas and they make these really solid lights that Light up everything under a hundred yards and probably the coolest piece of outdoor equipment that I own that we're going to be using Is my pulsar accolade to thermal binoculars There's no escaping these you might be able to hide From the ir but you ain't hiding from the thermal so When these rats are scurrying around tonight, I'll be able to track them And I'm going to be using the wraith and the accolades in tandem to get on them and hopefully take them out Oh, yeah, you're posing What you doing in there? Looks like she's been in the coop. She's got strong shavings Did you get an ice cream sandwich? Oh my goodness, where's mine? Well, it's so big. I thought maybe you guys could split it. Do you think you could split it with dad? Sorry dad Nope, it's a hard no. That is a hard no.  I'll let you take the first shot You want to? Really? You might you might have to deal with some mosquitoes I mean I would love to Sweating out here, but I think it's actually gonna be really fun I would honestly rather take out the armadillo that's messing up my flower bed because I'm on vengeance about that Listen, that's still a possibility. Okay. We could get a two for one tonight We got a hole right here in the wall where the the rats are they're going in there They're getting the condensation off the the copper pipe And they're drinking off of it We're gonna get everything set up up charging all batteries right now um After dark, it's usually right after dark They start coming out so Let's let the fun begin All right guys, here we go Oh, they they literally they can hear me talking The sound of my voice just made them Skedaddle for their hiding under it Some of them are starting to come back Some of them are up in the trees. We got us nuts This is nuts about two inches high So if I would have had that knowledge about an hour ago We would have about four rats down But that one was literally inside of the coop and I shot through the chicken wire I think they're wising up. I don't think there's gonna be any more really come over At least we for sure pop The first night was crazy. There was rats running around everywhere. I'm getting crazy close to these rats I mean, I'm talking like 10 12 yards And I'm missing I'm like how am I missing these things? I'm so close I finally figure out that I am shooting low, which doesn't make any sense But with some experimentation, I figured out that the pellet is still rising at 10 12 yards So at 20 yards dead on but I actually have a hold over if it's around that 10 12 yard mark So once I figured that out, I was ready to go for night number two So we are on night number two But godly they're smart man. I was hearing them like chirp communicate with each other It was interesting. They're loud. I mean they're They're like little grizzly bears. We're ready to go y'all. Wraith is charged up. Binos are charged up This air tank you hardly have to replace the air in it. It lasts a long time, especially when I'm shooting on low setting So it's all good to go. The only bad news is I don't have any beer Ran out of beer and it's the weekend just started Oh, well serious operations going down. Let's get some rats So after a few nights of doing this, I got dialed and then I never had to leave my back deck I just sit out there. I had a little rest a little cushion and I just pop them from the top Well, the sun has risen And I think we have knocked down the populations Significantly, this is one of the big ones that was inside of the coop that I got Throw this guy into the woods I actually ended up getting three rats and the last night's hunt These things are smart guys and they Literally knew when I would start to come outside. So over the period of about a week I had to adjust the times that I went out So I couldn't just go out at like 10 or 11 anymore. They would like they would just be gone And whereas the first time I ever went out there, there was like eight rats out there right after dark as sneaky as they are They just can't hide from those thermals y'all. Those thermal binoculars are amazing I ended up getting a another possum over the course of the week. I ended up getting one of the armadillos There's more armadillos that are still tearing up the yard And the kernel is happy so in total I think we knocked out about 10 rats And just because this video is over doesn't mean I'm not going to get out those thermal binos every night until I don't see any more rats coming into my chicken coop. Hope you guys enjoyed watching this crazy backyard knock turtle rat hunting adventure Thank you guys for tuning in today. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel So you don't miss any of my outdoor adventures and smash that like button Or I'll have to stick colonel sanders on you tight lines and happy hunting. Oh, we'll see you on the next


Seventy-five years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights made humanity a promise, equality, freedom and justice for all. There has been immense progress since then, but there is also so much left to be done. We look to you to keep using your voice and to take action to create the world we want and that we so desperately need. Today we launch the Human Rights Seventy-Five Countdown, showcasing stories, information and videos that are designed to teach, to inspire and to help you to take positive actions for human rights. As we count down to 10 December, Human Rights Day, tell us what pledges you want to see to make human rights a reality for all of us. Human rights should be everyone's normal every day. That means access to food, to shelter, to education, a clean environment, freedom of speech, a world without war, without discrimination, where everyone has a say everywhere, no matter what. The time for human rights is now.


Regional co-operation and global co-operation would benefit everybody, a rising tide lifts all the boats. So even those countries which are not along this line, as long as we help them, they can also help the Asian economies, the European economies. So we are all related. We are all related. We have shared benefits. We have the shared interests in this little village on Earth.


Hello everyone, my name is Manoj and I work for host analytics very good afternoon and welcome to the Selenium conference day one Yeah, so today's topic smart test failure analysis with elastic search I think a lot of you guys are spending a lot of time in analyzing the failures on a day-to-day basis And this is the last thing you want to spend time on right? Before starting the talk, I want everybody to stand up once Thank you so We have scribble pads or notepads. Just drop it on your chairs, and I want you guys to Clap wise if you agree with what I say, okay? You want to spend time wisely on writing new tests rather than spending time on failures. You agree? Two claps Okay now You are spending less than one hour per day on failure analysis Really less than one hour. You're spending more than two hours per day. Oh Cool, thanks, then this session is for you and we have only 20 minutes our session is time box so let's make best use of this 20 minutes and Let's go back home and fix some problems. Okay? So host antics who we are what we do we partner with finance to help them and the organization to achieve Peak performance. We also provide single cloud-based DPM platform It has everything you need planning consolidation modeling reporting analytics, etc And if you can see the host antics evolution, we are the first cloud DPM solution and first cloud consolidation or closed management solution provider and so on and So one of you know Gartner's magic quadrant Okay, so we are the only company apart from Oracle to be listed as leaders in both Financial corporate performance as well as strategic corporate performance management quadrants and This is the test automation evolution at host antics. We started Somewhere around 2009 on test automation initially we actually Were using silk test and then we moved on to what in which was then used as a unit testing tool. We announced that to Utilize for functional testing then in 2014 we Started with selenium and now we are a full-grown Framework we have to automate and execute the test cases and this is the automation evolution from 2016 to 18 in terms of number of test cases we execute on a daily basis today we execute or unclose to 12,000 test cases on a daily basis and That takes a hell out of hardware and time and energy So we have an ecosystem for this execution So this is the test execution ecosystem we do we use team city for continuous integration and continuous delivery and junk ins for distributed execution management and You can see the all the automation client agents which are used as a automation clients for executing the test cases and For at the end of every test suit execution. We write the test results to a database and We have built our custom dashboard, which code which will display the reports and results on a daily basis Okay, this dashboard will be used as a health check on a day to day basis What is the functionality that is broken and how much of the functionality is fully working condition? Okay, as you see, this is the sample execution results dashboard. We call it the daily execution trends we display for the last one week and You can see out of Like the typical failure rate would be where we're in around 47 percent if you consider that stats the around four to five percent of 9000 would be somewhere around 350 foot 350 to 400 test cases per day. So imagine QA team working on or spending time on debugging all these 400 test cases on a day to day basis We'll take a lot of time. It's not the effort where Management or even the team want to spend their time on right? So what we did was like we first of all we classified the failures What are the typical failure types we encode on encounter on a daily day to day basis? The first one is functional issues. Basically any functionality is broken our automation test case will be failed Second one is test script issue plaky test We are not using the right identifiers to automate This is a case of UI automation a third one is test infrastructure issue It could be a issue with the environment or a junkins issue or issue with the client or some something or the other The last one is test script catch up with UI and functionality. So how many of you? Will face this issue like some functionalities change some element locators are changed But the test cases are not updated with the functional changes. So this is the last part of the issue what we face typical Failures are classified into the percentages whatever that is shown here about 50% or test script issues basically like and 33% are functional issues and around 10% are test catch-up issues and 7 to 8% are test infrastructure issues So we classify the issues on these basis and we want to analyze like how to detect automatically Whatever issue that is popping up on a day to day basis, okay? So we came up with this architecture log analytics what we do is we typically parse the logs and Search for the log level basically if you have an idea on how logging is done. There are basically Multiple levels of logging info debug warning and error So what we do is we parse the logs and we look for errors the log entries of kind errors and then we generate patterns out of it We will go deep into it on the further slides. So this is the architecture the first segment is like the automation log segment where the agents will generate the logs and those logs are Read by file beats and these are fed or ingested by log stash and then index it with elastic search and Visualization we are doing with kibana. Okay. Similarly. We do the same thing with application server logs as well. So you'll get stuck with file beat Those who are not aware of you'll get stuck Elastic search is a free open-source distributed restful search and analytics engine built on top of Apache Lucene Basically, it's a full-text search algorithm Log stash is a server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multitude of sources Simultaneously, basically you can feed log stash with multiple sources not only one client I can feed with a number of clients In our case, we are providing an input stream for elastic and for storage and search Kimana as I said it lets you to visualize your elastic search data and It can be used as exploration tool for log and time series analytics and application monitoring and operational intelligence use cases a File beat is a lightweight shipper for forwarding and centralizing log data And it monitors the log files and locations that you specify and it has various capabilities like generating charts reports it can generate geo special charts also and Elastic has a very good documentation. You can go through the link where you can download all these Plugins for elastic and you can install it will on a high level We'll go through the configuration of each and every plug-in which comes along with elastic So elastic run the following command once you download Basically, what you need to do is go to the command prompt and run the Command which is shown there been elastic search. It will automatically Ups the server elastic server and for configuration. We are using elastic search dot via my file And we have different options to name the to name particular cluster or node configuring elastic search is a typical similar to Kibana or elastic so we have to execute that command and Logstash a configuration file consists of three parts input filter and output. I'll explain you all the three parts so the configuration file consists of input like from which port or The how the logs are shipped from file beat to log stash. Basically We are reading the log input on the port 5048 which is the default port for file beat and and We have filter basically we read each and every log entry from the logs and we parse that and For parsing we have a grok expression and we are doing it by time zone time-sizing approach and grok pattern will pass unstructured log data into something structured and variable and Logs time champs will be ingested into time zone specified basically. We have this Feature where my server log is generating logs on UTC, but I want to convert that into IST or PST We have this feature in log stash, which can be converted and finally the output the log stash output can be shipped or pointed towards Elastic or I can point it directly towards the Kibana So this is the grok expression. I was talking about if you see There are roughly five parts to it. The first part is timestamp You can see the section below it is showing the timestamp the first part and then space and then we are actually mapping a Keyword to the next section here the keyword is log level and it is mapped to info Okay, and the next Word is class name. Basically. What is the my class name that is? putting this log into logs log entry into logs and The next one is the line number in that particular class and Then we are actually reading the entire message into one keyword greedy data so Kibana config in Kibana, we should run this command and Kibana dot yml file is for the configuration. We can specify port the default port is 5601 this we can actually specify the host name if it is not the local host and Define similarly the server name Elastic search URL basically where it gets the data from so configuring file bit So ELK can be configured at any folder on any drive, but file bit should be configured in C drive program files So We host this file bit as a service So that at any time any new log or new log entries written to log This will read and pass it and supply it to the log-elastic or Kibana So first of all to install that as a service you have to execute the install service file bit ps1 command and to start that You have to execute the start service file bit command once you execute this command It will be hosted as a service and you can turn on it on and off using task manager as well So this is the example for file bit You can see the path where the logs are residing basically you are mentioning the log file path from where it should read the logs and The multi-line pattern if you see our logs in server logs or in Selenium logs whenever an error is encountered We'll get an stactress exceptions with multiple lines. So Multi-line pattern describes or sets a rule saying that if my log line starts with a date or time stamp Which would consider that line as one starting point of the entry log entry and again another time stamp is encountered All the multi-line log entries will be considered as a single entry so that you can read all the stactress from the logs and Logging Level we are putting it as info We want to not only read the errors and classify the errors We want to generate different kinds of dashboards say for example, how many Instances of a class is executed or how many Instances of a particular method is executed on a day-to-day test execution So we can generate such meaningful kind of dashboards and reports using file bit So this is the output path see program data file bit logs Sorry, it is a centralized location where it will be storing and sending it to the elastic The last part is output dot lock stash where it will be pushing here. We can as I said the file bit can be sending data to log stash Elastic and kibana in our case We are sending it to log stash and we are mentioning the IP address and a port so these are the charts which we have generated from kibana and You can see the charts the number of errors that are encountered on a time-slicing basis We are parsing the logs and we are generating the patterns And as we have seen in the grok expression. We're actually mapping each keyword to the log entry part and We are basically generating the aggregations based on time-sliced approach to get insights as I said how many of the How many how many hits are there for a particular class in this time? And how many errors are encountered for a particular tenant or a functionality that can be mapped So how does this help basically pattern matching using timestamp logged in username tenant and different modules or functionality will give you the insights of Like how many test cases are more concentrating on which part of the functionality or How are the errors encountered in our application which part of the Application is more buggy or a which is prone to prone to sorry Which is which is more buggy or functional? Which is functionally instable We can build analytics for error pattern analysis and map these patterns to test execution failures. So What we are trying to do is as I said there are four different classification of errors The first one is functional issues. So how we are doing it is whenever a error is encountered at a server log or application log With that in a similar time frame say for example in less than two minutes We are encountering a error entry in selenium locks. So we are matching these two errors by timestamp logged in user and tenant and Modular class name if all these four keywords are matching there is a 90 to 95 percent chance that that is a functional issue and We can monitor and validate pattern matches for accuracy even though there is 90 to 95 percent of accuracy There are few instances where we have encountered false positive say for example There would be an unwanted log entry in server log and we have a test case Which is which failed due to some other issue not a functional issue So when such cases are encountered basically we we analyze that and we mark we mark them or we blacklist them basically So that's how we eliminate the false positives So this is the custom charts based on hits here One hit means there is a log entry in Application server log as well as selenium log at the same time So we consider that as a hit and the probability of fit to be a functional bug is as I said 90 to 95 percent so challenges and Whatever challenges we have faced and what are the mitigation strategies poor logging practices like as I said Developers or QA people does not log properly say for example, they swallow the log so fellow the errors and they won't log it the exceptions Logging errors as warnings or info as I said log level even though I get an exception If I catch the exception, I would enter that as a logger info rather than logger error and Unwanted log entries to make it difficult to segregate there are unwanted log entries in server log as well as selenium log which are not required So the mitigation strategy is what we followed were blacklisting unwanted log entries and Identifying the false positives in both server server side as well as test automation side This actually drastically improved our accuracy in finding functional issues Not only functional issues, but also other kind of issues like a test make it as issues or test infrastructure issues so What next to improve accuracy of finding functional issues and other errors we want to use X pack It's another plug-in of elastic where it has machine learning capabilities and it can improve the accuracy based on false positives and We want to build a engine to identify functional and other issues automatically So as I said, this concept is not limited to the elastic stack or selenium It can be built upon any automation tool and any log mining tool say for example in market We have many other tools which can be replaced with elastic here Say for example, Sumo logic is one tool and Splunk is other tool which can actually parse the logs and It can generate dashboards and reports We have a minute So I just want to show so this is the Log Stash Kibana server So when I start file bit it starts to ingest data into Log Stash So all the elastic log stash and Kibana are Installed in my machine only so I'm actually parsing the log which is there in my local machine into my machine only We can have a distributed system Kated around multiple machines to build the same thing So we'll see How this data can be seen in Ibana since I'm creating an index So as I said, these are the custom dashboards we have so if you see here application log entry There is a entry in the application log at 24th June Early morning 2 o'clock Similarly, we have entry at two minutes after the application server log We can mark that as a functional issue basically all the timestamps tenant username and module are matching in this case and This is other kind of report what we have developed. We can see the failures Of a particular test case in last one week How many times the same test case has failed and what are the different reasons for that? I think that's it You can move on to Q&A basically we can see that so you can build your own Custom report in Kibana where I can actually drag and drop the filters or add filters and then see the Say for example here if you want to filter on something on message You can do that. You can add a filter here So you can see there is only one hit with the message So you can actually classify or get the log entries or classification Particular keywords and then make a filter out of it and generate a dashboard So it could be login or any other issues suppose a single functional issue might result in finite test cases Failures I can still search that error and I can filter that or generate by generate a report on top of it


it like by showing you the codes, the proto text files to be specific. So what we will try to do is do the same thing visually as one of our activity. But apart from that, one more thing I would like to share that there was an ELSON saliency challenge where our lab has been declared winner of that saliency challenge DeepFix. So first of all, it was 2013 when I started my work in deep learning at IISC. And my work was in salient object segmentation. So I was the one who actually installed cafe. So before that we used to work on something like conditional random fields or we used to work on sift or wavelets and stuff like that. And this deep learning completely changed the way our lab also works. So my talk will try to cover what is CNN like at first. And also one more thing, we use Titan X. So it's very cheap and you can use it to do your training and stuff like that. So NVIDIA also sponsors our research. So what I will try to cover is first of all what is CNN as such. And then I will talk about the tool which I developed. Because I developed it because I found that there is a need for visual representation of the layers. So that's where I started to develop. At that time, there was no digit tensor flow or stuff like that. They just came very recently. And also we will have a fun activity. So I know that a lot of jargons will be there. So just brace yourself. So if you see what you need, if you go and signal processing literature, you will find very good explanation as to what is convolution. So it's nothing but how a system responds to an input. But for 2D, it becomes even more simple. It's nothing but a filter which is applied like a soap all over the previous input. This is, I should have mentioned the references, by the way. But still, this is from reference is the previous one I created myself. But the point is that if you see the right side, you will see that how the convolution is nothing but applying a filter. So how does a simple neuron differ from a convolutional neuron, like convolutional layer to be specific? So if you see a simple neuron, let's say there are three units in the previous layer and two units in the next layer, which is feature map. So the total number of units will be 3 into 2, 6 for a fully connected layer. Fully connected layer and simple neuron are same. So before convolutional neural network came, it was just fully connected. But in convolutional neuron, what you will see is that what you try to train is restricted by the weights. So between the input layer and the output layer, if you have some, let's say, only one cross one weight blob, then you will only restrict your training to just that one cross one weight. So only one parameter will be changed all the time. So another way is let's say you have a restriction that you have to only have only one layer and you need to decide what to do. Use a convolutional layer or a simple or fully connected neural network. What would you do? So there are two problems I would ask you like what's intuitive. So if you have image and you want to do cat dog kind of, whether that image is of cat or dog, given that images contain only cat and dog images. So what would be more sensible? So it is important that every pixel in the image has a connection from this previous layer to this cat or dog category. So that's what is a fully connected layer or a simple neural network. But if you have a particular image and let's say you want to make it sharp, although there are static filters, but let's say you want to make it learn according to some problem, then you would probably prefer training a filter, not all to all connection. So that's where the convolutional neural network changes. You can also think of it like a cake where you have an image and you have a lot of stacked on filters, pooling layers. So all this I am very happy that Abhishek discussed some time back. So these layers are something which are stacked over and the hot chocolate is nothing but back propagation which changes all the weights down. So I think it's close enough so when you go and eat cake, just think of it as CNN. So now this is the way the pipeline is. I just like creating some animations at times when I'm free. So what are applications of CNN? So CNN is useful for a variety of tasks, like we use it for depth estimations. My work specifically is in the saliency, this eye fixation prediction. So you can see like when you look at an object, let's say I'm looking at you all. So what I will do is that my eye will roll around a few people. So I am trying to find out where my eye is fixing. Let's say you look at... So I will go around few important people or few people who are in let's say court or something. So my work was to understand how eye fixation works. So we have some research work about that published sometime back. So and also there are other applications which I want to say like MNIST has become really famous after Jeffrey Hinton and Andrew Ng, they have made it really popular. So MNIST, you have a particular scribbling of some particular number and you want to find out where it hits. So let's say here 8 is there. So it should hit the right chord 8. But let's say it hits the wrong chord. So you have a probability vector. If it does not... The arg max of that probability vector is not correctly hitting or it's not very well. So you are trying to make it hit right. That's what is object recognition problem. In this case, character recognition. The other thing is like pose estimation and depth estimation. So you are trying to... So in case of depth estimation, the output is not just a single one cross 4096 or some kind of a layer. It's rather a 2D layer. So there the way you back propagate changes drastically. So first of all why... How I come to the problem that why do you need ExpressO? If you already have a lot of tools. Like this is buildover cafe. So I chose cafe because it's really fast. The same reasons which Abhishek mentioned. Like it's very fast to use. But so this... What it does is that it takes the cafe's prototype and it makes it visual for you. And not just that, it allows you to visualize the responses in so many ways. Other advantages that... Like when an industry develops the tool, it develops for its usage. But when a research lab develops, it also tries to integrate a plethora of tools which it's commonly... Like at least for us, computer vision community often uses. So dense CRFs, Lib SVM, tools like that are very commonly used by computer vision community, which integrated with the deep neural network. So these all tools are integrated. And what we were planning that... We will also integrate a lot of other tools with it.  The first speaker, he was telling that we reduce the time from seven days to like months to a week. But I would say it has been reduced from week to days and not just days, from days to six hours. GPUs have been really pivotal in the growth of convolutional neural network. So the thing is when you start training, you have a lot of concurrent tasks. Like you might be wanting to train multiple things. You might be wanting to import data along with it. You might be wanting to visualize. All these need to be concurrent. So it needs to be parallel. So what I did is that made it... I have multi-threaded and each thread tries to create a sub-processed stuff like that. But the thing is that I tried to have concurrency and there were some challenges because I was using PyQt, so I had to face some issues. But the other thing is whatever you see as a GUI has a metadata behind it. So to make that metadata... To design that metadata is very important because if you try to overdo things, then it becomes really clumsy. So you want to make it very simple yet complete. So that was all the thing. And we integrated with different tools also. So something like this. Like async threads creating sub-process. Because in PyQt you can do this way only in something. So this is how it's working. Now let's start the activity which I was talking about. But yeah, one second. So I will be using Siffer 10 dataset. So Siffer 10 has 10 labels. And 50,000 train and 10,000 test images. And each of them are dimension 32 cross 32 cross 3 which is RGB. And the labels associated are 0 to 9. So that's how Siffer 10 dataset is. So first task... So this is the tool which I am talking about, which I developed and was reviewed by Ravi. So the thing is this tool, you can see four views. First task when you do training. So I will be... So just pay attention. If you have paid attention to what Abhishek did, he described trained solver and deploy prototypes. I will be doing the same thing in a visual way. So here in this data view, what you can see is that like you will be able to visualize what data you have imported. You can have different formats as you can see. So first I'll just load the data for both train and test. You can see here, like the data is important, along with its cardinality, everything is visible. Also in the top right corner, you will see a notification bar. So that will indicate that the import has happened. Then you will just import a particular train test net. I mean that the net which is responsible for training. So here you can see... Let me just... So you need to understand its researchers work, not an industry work. The thing is what we try to do is we gave a visual understanding. So what happens is that there are some intricate calculations happening. Like if you have... If you have tried or some pooling, some things, some parameters into it, then the next layer becomes... The next layer's output becomes different. So all these things needs to be visualized. So that's why we added it. I'll just complete. So then we added some... We add some auxiliary parameters here. We select the net here. Now we go to train view for actually training. We select the solver parameters, which are required for pack propagation. And then we select the data. And finally we see the training in progress. So here you can see that... Cross entropy loss is actually decreasing very rapidly from where it started off. So that progress is also visible here. And once you train, the train model is available here. Now all you need to do is benchmarking. So what you do is that for the test data set, you extract the features from probability layer. And then go... And for that you select the probability layer and click on evaluate. So what we'll do is that the arg max of that probability, it will compare with the actual labels and see if it is different or not. So if it is different, then it's zero. It's not then one, and it will calculate some accuracy figures. And just very... In just... I will take one more minute. So for visualization also, we have two kinds of visualization. Let's say I have nine images. I want to visualize it, visualize the responses those nine images visualization for a particular layer. Let's say con one or con pool one. So that you can visualize, but also you have a facility of visualizing for a particular image all the layers, sorry, all the responses from different layers. So these two things are provided and also what you can do is that apply a pipeline of operations like log and invert. Log is important because it balances the differences in the responses. It makes levels of things. So yeah, I would conclude my talk now and all I would request is... So this was... This is the summary you... cafe trains. It creates cafe model. And then what you do is... You can also find you, by the way. And then this cafe model goes through and fits. You give images, it will also do feature extraction. And you can... the GitHub link, there is a GitHub link, there is a Google group. You can also contribute to the code. It's open source. So that's all. And yeah, questions. And then there is a lunchtime. I know you are hungry. So...
