Now, what we're going to be showing you in the next two examples are patients with myasthenia gravus, predominantly with ocular myasthenia, and we're going to take you through the Tensilon test. Now, here's the baseline exam. There's bilateral ptosis, and you'll see that there's bilateral adduction deficits as well. Patient is apparently fixating with the right eye, and there's a left hypertropia, but the vertical aductions of that left iron pair it as well. Now, these examples are long, and they're basically on this tape to show you that sometimes you have to observe response to Tensilon over prolonged periods of times, and if you're confused about whether or not there's a response, it's not a bad idea to get an objective observer in the room to see the patient before and after. Now, what we do in the clinic are take still polaroid photographs to document the patient's eyes before Tensilon and then to document the eyes after Tensilon, and this can also help because when you're the examiner in performing the Tensilon test, you're spending a long time staring at the eyes, and if you're looking for subtle changes, it may be hard to tell. So, I'm going to allow you to watch a little bit. This is after Tensilon, and I think that you can see there's a dramatic change. The ptosis has resolved somewhat. Actually, it's quite dramatic. And although the screen is split and the eyes aren't symmetric, I think you can see that the left hypertrophy is gone. And look at that. The left eye, the vertical deductions are very nice. This patient's able to get that eye up very well, and can infiduct well as well. This is a nice positive Tensilon test. It's confirmed the diagnosis, not invasively. Now, what we're going to see is that the effects of Tensilon are fairly short-lived. As we keep examining the patient's eyes, you'll notice that the lids start to fatigue again, and ptosis will develop, the patient will develop that hypertrophy again.

Hi everyone, Christmas is around the corner which means we are in the number one selling time of the year. This is one of the biggest and most widely celebrated holidays in the world with 2 billion people in over 150 countries that celebrate this holiday. As a drop shipper, this festive time of year is also known as Q4, which is the last quarter of the year where we have the opportunity to really maximize sales due to the holiday season. Our Christmas gift to you is to help you really rake in those profits by preparing your stores with our list of the top 10 trending Christmas products of 2021. But before we get to that list, give this video a like and hit that subscribe button so that you can stay up to date with all of our future trending product videos. Alright, now let's get to it. So our first recommended product that you should be selling in your stores is Christmas trees. Now, this is a popular product. A lot of people love having Christmas trees in their homes and not all of them want to have the real Christmas trees because it's a cleanup. They're heavy, there's needles everywhere. So a lot of people like to go for these artificial trees that you can buy online. And they're also reusable, which gives people another reason for buying this product. So you have a bunch of different trees that you could go with, tall one, thin ones, ones that are different colors, some that are pre-decorated and that come with the lights inside of them. Really it's up to you which ones you want to list in your store, but you should get a wide variety so you can appeal to a lot of customers. This product is also usually a higher ticket item, meaning that you have the chance for higher profit margins. So I definitely recommend that you start listing this one in your stores. Now our second product of the day is Christmas lights. This is a great product for the holiday season. Not only is this a good product for decorating that Christmas tree that you just started selling, but it's also a good product for the outside of the home where people like to decorate it and make it look very festive. So you have a bunch of different variations you could go with and I recommend that you list all of them. You have different colors, you have some that are solar powered, some that are LED Christmas string lights. Definitely go with a whole bunch of different ones. Even here on Home Depot you could go by Christmas lights by color and you have blue, red, green. I recommend you definitely just should list all of these. We've also got different types of Christmas lights like string lights, novelty lights, net lights. Over here we've got these cute little icicle lights. Definitely a lot of ones to go with. I just said the word lights a lot so we're going to move on to our next product. All right our third product of the day is Christmas ornaments. Now this product has actually been around a lot longer than you think starting way back in the mid-1500s. So this is a Christmas staple. You have a bunch of different ones that you could go with. There's the classic ball ornament where you could have different packages and different colors and definitely list a whole bunch of them. There's even DIY versions where you can make it a family project to paint a whole bunch of them and you know people reuse them for years to come. A specific ornament set that's doing really well are these gnome ornaments and that's why I suggest you definitely jump on this trend. You have a bunch of different variations you could go with.  Definitely a cute one to go with and it is trending now. So definitely I recommend you start listing these in your stores. Our fourth product of the day is Christmas embroidery sets. So this is also a cute gift, kind of a Christmas staple. People like to gift these to each other or even sit down and have this be a family activity with friends, family, making it a whole get-together. And it's a cute little decoration once it's done as well.  It's a low-ticket item, meaning I would list at least a few of these in your store because like I said again people might be doing this as a group activity. That's why I would definitely recommend listing these in your stores as multiples and not just as a single product. And again it is crucial that you list different variations depending on what people like. Now our fifth product of the day is Christmas inflatables. Now these seem to be getting crazier and crazier every year.  And this is definitely again a higher ticket item meaning it is great for you to list in your stores if you want to get that higher profit margin. And again this product comes in a wide variety of sizes and designs. So take a whole bunch of these and list them in your stores to really fit for a larger audience of customers. Our sixth product of the day is Christmas tree toppers. Now there are usually two that stand out more than the others. We've got our classic star Christmas tree topper that comes in a bunch of different colors, some more geometrical looking than others and some a bit more classic and classical. And we've also got our angel Christmas tree topper, another classic that a lot of people love to put on top of their trees. And in general when you look it up you could see a whole bunch of different different ones as well besides for the classics. You've also got little Santa over here on top of the tree. You've got hats with bows. You've got some more modern gaming references like this you know Mario star over here that could go on top of the tree. So these have really been a classic Christmas bestseller and you're going to want to offer a bigger selection so you could really rake in those sales. Now our seventh product of the day is Christmas stockings. This is also another cute little house decoration that most people like to put over their fireplaces and it's pretty cool. You have a bunch of different designs here some with Christmas patterns. You could also look over here on Amazon. You've got some that are knitted, some that complain because people like to decorate them themselves. This is a very family oriented holiday so a lot of people like to turn everything into a group activity this being one of them where people like to decorate stockings together. You could also get specially designed stockings with people's names or initials and again I recommend listing more than one because in general people aren't just buying one stocking they're buying a whole bunch for their families or for their friends so I would recommend having a few listed in your store. Our eighth product of the day is Christmas wreaths. Now this is just a really beautiful decoration, looks really festive, people like to put this either around their house or on their door and you have a bunch of different designs that you could go with some with Christmas bells and bows and lights and different colored flowers. It's definitely a fun product to go with so once again list as many different designs and variations as you can so you can appeal to as many consumers as you can. Now our ninth product of the day is Christmas gift wrapping paper. This is a great product it's the gift giving season. What are you going to wrap your gifts with? Some wrapping paper. It's also a very easy product to go with because it is a low ticket item making it a very easy buy for most consumers.  So since Christmas is really thought of as that holiday for gift giving and making people happy this product really seemed like a no-brainer for all of you to start adding to your stores and you'll definitely see some good sales from this one. Alright our tenth and final product of the day are these flameless candle sets. Now we've noticed that this product has really been trending around the holiday season they're cute, they're festive, they're warm and what's also really great about them that a lot of consumers like is that they're reusable. So it's a very cool product to have around the holiday season. You have a bunch of different variations you can go with some that offer more candles some that offer fewer some that are remote controlled definitely look through all the versions that you can list a whole bunch of them even from different suppliers so that you could really one-up on your competitors. Alright that is it for our Christmas products video good luck listing these products in your stores I hope you guys all see great sales this holiday season make sure to give this video a like and hit that subscribe button so that you can see all of our future content.

We're gonna talk about some broader topics We're gonna talk more about instead of the specific businesses Really the the lessons that we've learned as business owners and the and the things that we the advice We might have for our audience.  You're in relationships You have personal goals, too You're all involved in the community in some way or another I I don't know where you guys find the time. You're much more active than I am I'm in bed at 10 every night as I can't keep my eyes open anymore. But how do you keep it all going, right? How do you how do you keep all those plates spinning? How do you Michelle?  Eating right and sleep and getting enough water every day is so important. How do you how do you keep all this going? Honestly, it's sleep. That's the one thing Um, I I took a nap this afternoon and I kind of woke up in a daze, but at the same time I'm like, oh that was so needed You know, there's something about a nap that really repairs everything and it shuts off the monkey mind And so after the day when I've done my list and and everything's accomplished Hopefully I find that sleep is the one thing that is like the most important that I will shut off my phone And I don't go to nightclubs and I don't party, you know like by 10 o'clock And there's something about that like I actually find like if I do go out and I do have fun It takes a while to kind of repair and kind of come back to life So I find that sleep to me is like the number one thing I could never go without Alright, so you guys have to pick something else You can't say the same thing So just tell you what what Well, what how do you keep the plate spin? Well for me? This is something that I'm still learning to do But with me is just surrounding myself with other entrepreneurs or other people that are also going through what I'm going through And you know so we can be our own support team. Absolutely having a team around you We talk about that all the time is building the right team about around you Lucy That's what you help help some of these young women with their businesses Yeah, and you've got to build your tribe I couldn't I have an amazing mastermind group and I talk with them constantly and they lift me up when I'm just having like a rough day So yeah try this one point You know and some days it's really hard to keep the plate spinning like I have a one-year-old. I've got a business Life my husband is in the military and it's gone 12 hours a day Like it's some days It's it's really hard and I don't want to create that illusion of like, oh, yeah I just spend plates and like everything's great. No, it's hard I Find that yeah sleep Having that sport I work so important And as well like asking for help like I could not live without my childcare provider Important to ask for help and yeah, I think that's a lesson you've helped me learn over the last year don't be afraid so important I there there really are Las Vegas is a very unique city and it has a reputation of being a very hard place But I got to say and especially after October 1st this community if you ask for help There are people who will help you here and that's that's a great piece of advice for our Viewers and people are thinking about starting a business. Don't be afraid to ask for help Someone will help you not everyone But there are there are people out there who really want to help other people What I love about Vegas actually is that the fact that? Women work together so well when it comes to like when they say what they do or what they're involved in and then and then They say oh, I know someone you should meet. It's a very Just doing this in the green And so Lisa Chastain just little name drop Yeah, like I find that women and I don't know if it's like a social media thing or it's it's like Now current is like women tethering together so well with empowering motivating and Entrepreneurial ship like never before yeah, I don't mean to like, you know push you out This shows about your stories not about mine If I if I thought a show people would watch a show about me telling my story I would just sit here and tell my story, but but I want to pull this thread a little bit I got a lot of questions, but I'm gonna pull this thread because one of things I've learned getting into business is that there are a lot of women's support groups both formal and informal And I think you all belong to some of the women's support group I don't want the women's networking groups the women's business Association I want to call them support groups because they're they're more structured than that But what are some of the groups you belong to where where women business owners can get that support? Maybe go ask for help if they if they need it So I'm actually really big in like online communities And that's just how things have played out having a one-year-old and a business and just you know I've been through a season where I've been at home a lot and so I've had to lean on online communities So boss mom was the first community that I really must myself into I found all of my clients through that community I found my mastermind my business coach my team members everything. Yeah, 25,000 people now. It's it's growing so fast So search for it not now Boss mom on Facebook. Yes. Okay. She told me what what groups are you in? Right now I started going to through Lori's group. Okay Limitless. It's just started limitless. Okay, Loreal Jerry. I don't think she's watching but we'll give her a little plug Because if if there's a group in Las Vegas, especially a women's group Lori's involved in it So so look up Loreal Jerry on Facebook I'll give her a little plug because she she can she knows everybody and she connects everybody men women all together so So when I moved to Vegas, there was a mixer group that Completely changed my life and that's thanks to a vet. I was here in cosmopolitan connections. It's every Wednesday It's from seven to nine. It's at different locations And if it wasn't for a vet, she's the one who linked me up with a gentleman from Kale KLAV Radio and that's kind of how I started my broadcasting. So it's all word of mouth It's all about who you know, but I think face to face even though on the internet. It's great to go live like you do Lucy But yeah, I find that my fitness team with my women That definitely kind of centers in on business ideas to kind of what do you think about this? And what do you think about that? But Ultimately networking groups cosmopolitan connections was the best. It was it's a good group awesome group. It's a good group. Yeah Businesses come with a lot of surprises. What's the biggest surprise you found once you got into business Lucy? Oh Probably just growing pains and being able to identify them I've kind of been going through this lately. My business is growing a lot in the past year And I sort of hit this point where things just felt a little bit harder And I had to figure out with the help of my kind of support network that I was going through growing pains And that's a good thing. Yeah a good problem to have right But it just like it's hard to have that personal growth and that business growth and just sort of shift things a little bit And adjust and get ready for that And now into the next stage as well because you have that like startup stage the growth stage the scaling stage And like I'm really in that growth stage now Which is awesome. Yeah, but like it's it's been a journey. It's challenging. Yeah. Yeah, well, we've talked about support group So if you're looking for some help Start right here.  What was a big surprise to you with me? I actually About a year and a half ago. I got into I did a career of our door-to-door sales So with that I said, okay I'm a young woman. It's gonna be very very easy knocking on someone's door But actually that I learned that people don't want to be bothered So I had to learn how to communicate with people and also learn how to sell So that was actually probably one of my biggest surprises so far. Well, welcome Alex Livingston Haven't heard from you in a while, but thank you for watching the show if you've got any questions for our group Tracy's here too. Thanks for joining us. How about you Michelle? What was one of the surprise? I mean you're you've been involved in so many things It's it's probably been a constant series of surprises as you've moved as you've evolved through all things You've done, but what's a what's a big surprise you got once you started getting into? Don't be afraid to wear many hats at once, right Lucy. Mm-hmm got to be multitasking and wearing different hats at once but one of the things I find is that don't be don't be so hard on yourself Especially social media and comparing and all that stuff But don't be afraid to take two steps back to take one step forward because I find with weight training I really want to Lift heavier and I want to go harder But I find at the end of the day like I'm so worn out that I kind of have to be easier on myself to rest Repair do the things that are necessary in order to go back and like really kick some ass. Sorry That speaks to me so much especially I've been calling like the growing pains like going through a renovation Like my business was a house. Yeah, I'm like doing a renovation Absolutely, it's so important to take those steps back to do that self-reflection And sometimes when you're growing really fast, you might be growing you hopefully are growing in the direction You want to grow you might be getting an opportunity to grow in a great direction and think of but sometimes you might be growing in Direction that isn't where you want to go.

Welgynt o Toffy TV er is, three things, this video is sponsored by One Football, One Football's app, makes it possible to keep up to date with all the latest stats, transfers and results all in the one place to download the One Football app, simply click the link in the description below. Southampton 2-11, three talking points, probably just going to be me ranting for three or four minutes here, I can't think of three things to go on, it could be called 11 talking points and I'd be the players, just not good enough today, simply not good enough. The issue for me at the moment is we've played since Spare's spanked us, we've had Burnley, Brighton, Leicester, Bournemouth and now Southampton and we've lost three of those games and that to me is absolutely shocking and the displays, you can lose games with football but play well and look like you know what you're doing but sometimes with us we're just passive and today we were passive. There's no fight, no spirit, no heart in this side, there all go footballers, knock it round well, we finish with what 61% possession but so what, so what, do you know what I mean, if you've got no end product, I mean that's the least attempt at goal we've had as well today, ended with eight or seven and it was just shocking and without the heart and the grit you're not going to go to places against teams like Southampton who are up for the fighters that are trying to stay up. You could tell after five or ten minutes they were there yard quicker than us. We had a lot, we got the ball down but we didn't have anything snappy in that final third to do anything with in the midfield for me. Garn y sig y tu'n yn gawmes wrth awful today, that's just my opinion obviously but just really disappointed. You're not sure you can teach a team to have heart and spirit and fight, you can try that but you need a catalyst in the team, you're able to get everybody together and I just don't see anybody with that. I thought Coleman would have had that but he seems to be going the other way, more passive every week that goes by. That's an issue for me and that's why teams like Southampton and teams who are fighting for their lives will always beat us in those kind of games because they've got that fighting spirit that we don't seem to have. The top teams have it, all the teams in the middle are at the same level and then the teams fighting. We had it when we used to have to battle and scrap and you'd beat teams and it was because they were close, they were together. We did hang on in there and they'd stick their heads in the way for the team mate and we don't do that, we just leave massive gaps and then point fingers at each other every now and again because you've looked like it's it, you blame someone else. That's what we, at this moment, the way this team is playing which is an absolutely far cry from the way we were playing in September, October and November. You know when we went to Anfield we were playing really well, the team looked settled and tight, we looked like we were really getting into the way we were playing and then Pickford throws one in his net against Liverpool and since then we've looked absolutely shambolic at times. I suppose a second point, some no heart would be the first one for me, no spirit. The second one, Richard Charleston as a striker, I think Richard Charleston just does anything at the minute. I think he's on a little bit of a low bit of form at the moment because I don't think he's playing well at all so maybe a time. I mean I know that the options are limited, it's young toes and it's not going to call for living. One's not in any kind of form and the other one is still best as a sub. So we're left with Richard Charleston to try and lay in the role in the game and that's not helping because he's not playing well. There's too many of our forward players at hot and cold, no consistency from anybody in the team, that's probably more the case but I think it might be a case of putting Richard Charleston on the bench for a couple of games and using him as the impact's up and maybe giving them a call that they're going to go or something or just actually going to get a striker, going to actually get one who knows how to play into forward and who knows how to look like he might actually score a goal because at the minute we're getting nothing really in a final third. I don't know how you shall be given the way we play. I think personally it might be a time to change the formation. I'm just play three. I'm the backer now. It worked well a barely, it didn't work so well a Brighton but it's up to the manager to find these solutions because at the minute everything is putting out. Or I would be born with last week but it was literally a flip of a coin game and that isn't good enough for the team. It's cost a lot of money like we have. It's not good enough for me. I can't think of a third one and I don't think you're probably that bothered anyway. Another very, very, very disappointing afternoon for me. Easily the worst display of the season because I had the opponents and we had nothing. We literally had nothing and that isn't good enough for an event inside. She more fight under Walter Smith and David Moyes when there's no money than what I've seen today. And that worries me more. If you play well and you get beat you hold your hands up and say you know what, one of them days we just did that and if this would have been an isolated defeat you'd go, it happens to teams. They don't play well but this little run at the moment that we're on the show and some real frailty and it doesn't seem like the players are able to address them.  And to get beat the way we did but I'm embarrassed by that performance but there you go, that's just my opinion. You might be different and if you're a good luck to you. Watch out all the other reaction videos, we want more videos, get on Payton's, subscribe if you want to and I hope your night's better than mine's going to be because I'm pissed off with watching that. Today was horrendous, see you later.


All right. Welcome. So the first order of business is to review and approve the agenda. So there are a few changes to the agenda. One is from the consent agenda, we removed item C and D. Oh, C and D. Yep. It goes A, B, E, F, G. Right. Okay. So those have already been removed from the online version of the agenda. And then we will not be taking up item six, which is the fiscal year energy use report. They needed a little more time for that, so that will be on an upcoming agenda. I think that is it for changes to the agenda. Any other thoughts, comments on the agenda? No? Okay. So without objection, we'll consider the agenda approved. So the next thing is general business and appearances. So this is a time for any member of the public to come address the council on any issue, otherwise not on the agenda. And if you would keep your comments to two minutes or less and say your name and where you're from. Getting to print something that I needed to refer to earlier. So I got it. I guess the fact that the emergency management plan is on the consent agenda means it's fruitless to provide detailed comments on its strengths or weaknesses. But that's an issue that I pay some attention to. I want to note that first I want to refer to a piece that Bernie Lambeck, and I'm happy to send it electronically posted on Front Porch Forum, and it relates to something I said at your last meeting. Pardon my, and I'll just quote, it's a couple of paragraphs, but I'm going to just quote the last of it. My view, and this is Bernie Lambeck, the damage inflicted on this community arising from the polarized personal attacks against fellow members of this community is far greater than the damage that will be caused either by building the garage or by not building the garage. We are neighbors. I think there's some words that there's some wisdom in that and there's some caution. I cautioned at the last meeting that we need to have a plan B. The division is between merchants who won't talk to people on the sidewalk that they rely on for their business is recurring damage. The press related to the recent press related to the ongoing litigation in the stalled garage extensively quotes city officials that allude to violations of a confidentiality agreement, which I won't pretend to know anything about. I'm not party to those conversations or that litigation, but when I know that I articulated a number of the same concerns that the garage opponents have related to inadequacy of a traffic study, these construction impacts and mismanagement that I've brought to your attention are perfect examples of that. And for city officials to tell the press, we don't know what they want. They're all just wasting our time is is disingenuous. It's flat out disingenuous. We need to handle this delicate and damaging division in our community carefully, and it's not being done that way. I'll also cite an article on the construction impacts where our assistant city manager is quoted as saying my concerns had been addressed. Bill knows and took his own photos. The gravel in the area where the road base without a silt fence was allowed to drape down into the river has not been addressed. It's all still there still falling into the river covering a river bank that should have been clean. So my concerns were not addressed. I asked the city council to file ask a and R to issue a fine, you know, do some enforcement action. That's the only way to manage these multimillion dollar contractors. They only respond to their pocketbook. So it was not addressed. It was false to tell the press that it was addressed. That's about all I can do in the two minutes. Sorry. No worries. Thank you. And I just want to also affirm that, you know, no or that personal attacks are not necessary and I'm really grateful to people to have civil conversation. All right. And that people can, you know, disagree about things. And that's okay. Other comments. Yes. Hello. So my name is Laura Gephardt. I'm the executive director of the Montpelier Development Corporation. I'm in my final days as the director. So I just wanted to come and give you an update. And I have Sarah Jarvis with me as well, who's the vice chair of the MDC board of directors. So I'll allow her to speak on behalf of the board, but I just wanted to thank you all for the time that I've been here and getting to work with all of you and learn from you. It's been incredibly meaningful and valuable. So thank you. I am leaving for personal reasons and I get to pursue something that I'm deeply passionate about. So I'm excited about that, but also saddened to be leaving this community. Economic development is a multifaceted collaborative endeavor. And so I'm hopeful that even when I'm gone, that will continue. And this position gets to continue to work with the council and with the city staff. So I'm incredibly appreciative to all of you. And for us to be able to have civil dialogue around a lot of different issues. So that's been really wonderful. And I'll let Sarah speak on behalf of the board. Thanks, Sarah Jarvis. As Laura said, I'm the vice chair of the board. I'm a former city council member for those of you weren't still weren't there and actually took my seat when I stepped off the council. So but I just wanted to also reiterate the thanks for your support for the organization. We are quite sad to have Laura move on from our organization and be able to follow her passion, her dream, taking a coaching position, but just wanted to be clear that the organization is much more than one staff person. We're a very committed board of community members, professionals in the community who care very much about this community. People like myself who want to make sure the community is affordable for our children and our children will want to be in this community that it's vibrant. There's a lot going on. We have actively started recruiting for Laura's replacement. We already have 20 something applications that we've received. So there's a lot of interest in the organization. There's a lot of interest in Montpelier too. It's really interesting to get some out of state applications, people saying they've heard about Montpelier, they've heard that we have an appetite for sustainability and growth and change. And also that they see some of the motives of board members like myself, which are that we want to make sure that the community can afford to carry out the kinds of goals that we have as a group. I think that we share them with you as a council in terms of making sure we can carry out some of our really public minded goals of lifting up the whole community and figuring out how to do that in a way that's sustainable and affordable. So again, thank you for your support. And we will keep you posted as we move forward. Thank you so much. Okay, on to the consent agenda. Is there a motion regarding the consent agenda? Didn't you want to pull item G? Oh, yes. Thank you. I'm sorry. My hope is that we could pull item G off of the consent agenda because I think we probably want to discuss that. Is there a motion with that perhaps included or not? Either way. So moved. Further comments? Yes. Thank you. There are two here that say they're expected to be removed. Does the motion include them being removed? We already took those off when you approved the agenda. I got the alphabet confused. Good clarification, though. So just to clarify, it does not include items C or D, right? Right? Okay. And Connor, that's okay. Okay. So C and D and B. Yes. Jack. I don't think this merits a lot of discussion, but I noticed one phone number that wasn't right in the emergency plan. Should I just give that to the chief? Yes. Great. Okay. Motion on the table for the discussion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right, I think we should do just go right to item G, the reaffirmation of the Sanctuary City Declaration Resolution. So I wanted to pull that off of the consent agenda just because I thought we ought to talk about it. But this had also come from Councillor Hill. Do you want to speak to this at all? So I, a few people had reached out to me after the sort of nightmare going on on the federal level. And I thought it made sense. I know that there have been some changes to state law regarding fair and impartial policing and any sort of cooperation with immigration and customs enforcement and customs and border patrol. So it seems like it would be a ripe time to reaffirm our commitment to being a city where everyone belongs and everyone is welcome to be and also to just clean up some of the language to reflect changes to state law. Great. Any comments from the, well, I'll take first council comments. Any, any council comments on this? Jack. I had more of a question than a comment, and that was whether someone could explain what the import of the change from the old version to the new version is. So the change really has to do with that. You know, if we were to ask it narrows the scope and we had changed it to criminal investigations only, we have no jurisdiction or authority to participate in or be part of a civil enforcement action regarding immigration in 2017. Act 79 was passed with bipartisan support and signed by Governor Scott. I was there for the signing and with that made clear what was happening with the signing and what that made clear was that Vermont law would comport with the two in particular two necessary federal statutes. So we to alleviate in Vermont's view that we would still be eligible for federal funding and so forth. And they also say that some of the Justice Department that was still not far enough. But anyway, but that is really the key change. And our model policy that Montpelier PD has adopted is a statewide policy that includes updated language and and what also we had additional language before and our policy that we had to remove that. So it did comport with the necessary state law now. Great. Thanks. Further questions or comments from the council just initially? Okay, comments from the public. If anyone wants to comment on this. Welcome. Good evening. Pam Walker from Luma Street and I plus two others of us back here. Excuse me, represent Central Vermont Refugee Action Committee Refugee Action Network, I should say. And we're just so thrilled with this resolution. We think it's very, very important. And our mission is to support and advocate for immigrants, migrants, refugees, and we have a lot of different projects and programs that we are involved in to make all that happen. So thank you for this and we hope that it passes and we really trust that the city police will be respectful of immigrants and migrants as they're in the city and not cooperate with ICE. We know that FIPP is working hard on making ensuring that that happens. So thank you for bringing this up and I hope that it will be signed finally today. Thanks, everyone. Thank you for your organization's great work. Further comments? Lauren? I would just say I was not here for the last round. So I'm excited to be able to vote on this and appreciate the work that went into crafting this last round and then the updates this time. So thank you. Cool. Is there a motion? I move that we adopt the resolution to designate Montpelier as a sanctuary city. Well, seconded. As well. With the proposed amendments? With the proposed amendments. And that's okay, Donna. Okay. Further discussion? All right. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right. Motion carries. Thank you all. Okay. Okay. Great. Thank you. So many papers. All right. So moving on. We are up to an appointment for the Complete Streets Group. And for this appointment, we had three vacant seats and one applicant. Is Phoenix Mitchell here? Seeing as this person is not here, we should probably still go into executive session, probably. So is there a motion to go into executive session? I move that we go into executive session pursuant to one BSA section 317313 a blank three. Second. Further discussion? All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. We will be right back. I'm just checking the, I'm just quickly looking at the charter to see if that might even be specifically listed as one of the council's duties. Well, while you're looking for that, perhaps we could add a sentence that would be to the effect of, you know, you can find the purchasing policy in the city council handbook or in some other document. So it's maybe not a part of our ordinances, but if someone were to look it up here, they would know where to go to find it. Does that sound reasonable? That sounds reasonable. You could even go a step further and say the city council shall adopt a purchasing policy so that there is one in place. It does change. And then it can change from time to time without having to go through the whole ordinance amendment process. Ashley? I wonder if instead of saying the council shall, I mean, we can insert that as well. So that is an obligation of the council. But all purchases of goods shall be performed in accordance with a purchasing policy as as adopted by the city council. So you don't need a separate section. It's just and it lets you know where to go right away. That sounds good. Does that satisfy you, Lauren? Other comments on that? Okay. All right. Any comments from the public on chapter two? Okay. I don't want to cut off any other comments on chapter two from the council. Okay. All right. So I'm going to close the public hearing. And I think we probably need to vote on setting a date for the second reading, which will be May 22nd, our next meeting. Is there a motion regarding the next hearing? Second. Okay. For the discussion, all in favor, please say aye. Opposed? Okay. Oh, sorry, this is just food for thought examination of records v. Section 2405. Okay. Such fee shall only be payable in cash or check prior to leaving the office of the city clerk. We don't take cards. Well, we were just that we're just we brought that up. So that's that's a part of it. It's okay. It was on my list of we got you. We got you.  But we might. But you couldn't write you could. We do want to rule it out. Okay, keep it for the time. I think we should just say in payment is determined by the clerk or treasurer or something like that. Yeah. Whatever, buddy, rather than list what they are because you know, you could take Apple Pay or whatever sometime, you know, I mean, who knows? Who knows? Okay. All right. So next up is reviewing our strategic plan. That we did we vote? I don't think we vote on the motion. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm one step behind. Good points. We had a motion in a second further discussion. On favor, please say I opposed. Okay, great. Thank you. Keeping me straight here. Okay, so moving on to adopting the strategic plan. So this document basically that we came up with through retreat time. And there was one thing that I wanted to change, but I'm going to find it here quickly. Any other comments on the strategic plan? I just add that what what you have before use the report from Julia and the overall summary that was discussed, what isn't here that you'll have at the next meeting is you may recall one of the things we talked about was everything that was undone from this present year would carry forward. So we'll have a more full list of all the items as well as some of the backup department work. So you just get a bigger picture of the work plan and what in the projected schedule for the year when they would be coming to the council. So we're working on that now, hopefully for the next meeting. And and that so but we wanted to make sure you got this was the first chance to see the report since we got it since you've met since we received it. So any comments or concerns or questions? All right, other comments? I just want to observe that on energy disclosure, energy efficiency and disclosure issues, there's that comes up twice. And in one place, it says pursue an energy efficiency and disclosure policy. And the other place it just says pursue an energy efficiency disclosure policy. So just missing an and and that's on page seven. So it's pretty straightforward. Other comments, Donna, go ahead one tiny little question. And it has to do with the planning framework page 15. To develop strategies to eliminate roof dam connections. It should be drain, right? Under initiatives? Yeah, which which one environmental stewardship?  Yeah, roof drain drain. Yeah, wow, good catch. Further comments? Okay. Is there a motion regarding adopting our strategic? Oh, actually, I'm sorry. Yes, the public. Yes, please. Awesome. Welcome. Peter Kalman is working. Thanks, so Peter Kalman. I'm representing the advisory committee, the social and economic justice advisory committee. And we will be, we will be members of our committee will be attending city council meetings on a regular basis. In keeping with our part of our charge, which is to collaborate with city counselors and relevant other city committee members to support them in centering the experiences of oppressed groups and individuals, as they consider policy decisions regarding city operations. So first, I just wanted to commend the city council and the people who participated in this process. The part and I'm glad that Bill pointed out that this is not the entire result. This is like a summary of the maybe even a summary of the summary. What is terrific in this report are the aspirational parts of it. If you go through the strategic outcomes, all of those introductory paragraphs, which I think are actually came from last year as well, are fantastic. And we can hardly wait to see the meat. You know, and when you get to the meat, I hope you will not only be considering populations that are not currently served as well as they might be, but also when there might be unintended negative impacts on those populations. It's not always obvious. You can be very much for something without realizing, Oh, what's that going to mean for poor people? Thanks. Thank you. All right. Any further comments? Okay. Is there a motion to adopt our strategic plan? So moved. Second. For the discussion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay, so the motion carries. Yes, Ashley. I think that this has been this process the last two years compared to the year before that this has been amazing. And I really I know that Julia books well in advance. And I know that we're sort of binding a future council to something. But I feel very strongly that that she is she has the approach that we need as a city to do this work. And so I would like to see if we could all agree to having Bill reach out and get get her availability so that we can make sure we can can do this again to to build off where we've been the last two years. Jack, I think that might require a little more discussion. Not that. I'm saying she's terrible or anything like that. But it wasn't the same as last year. And I think that there's some value to having a consultant with a different perspective. And so I'm just saying it might be more of a discussion than that. Shall we revisit that? Well, Ashley, thoughts? Well, so I guess, I guess it's the kind of thing that I would really like to do sooner rather than later. So I know I know our next agenda is kind of busy, but it just I think it's a really important piece of the work that the Council is going to be doing. So if just looking at the agenda over there, the upcoming agendas, what would you think about talking about it in June? Like June 12? Is that enough time to play? Okay. She books in a VS, but not that far. Well, I've had some consultant where it's like a year out. Right. No, fair enough. So we'll look at I think that's a great conversation to have. And let's let's do it. Let's aim for June 12. And go from there. That sound okay to others? Okay. Great. We are going to set a new record here in terms of being done with this meeting team. I know. Okay. Summer meeting schedule. Speaking of summer agendas. So yeah, I mean, we just threw this out. But obviously, you know, we've talked in the past about, or in most recent years, we've dropped at least one summer meeting. And so we suggested the schedule that worked best for staff. But recognizing that that may or may not work best for the Council members. But figured you had to start discussion somewhere. So Donna, I must say I like it because July is one of those five week months. So it gives us a nice span of time. I want to let everybody know the July meeting I will actually be at the same program that the mayor attended last year. So I won't be here in person. And depending on what things look like, I may be able to call in. But yeah, you should not plan to call in. Just be there. You don't need miss one in July. Miss one. Well, there's only one theoretically scheduled for July if we yeah. But yeah, the program starts that week, and then goes to the end of the month. Okay. So does canceling the July 24 meeting work for folks? Yeah. Okay. Well, there's no. Yes, Jack. Oh, if it's fine with everybody else, I'll be happy with it. But the 21st of August is not the best night for me to have a meeting. Donna, yes, that made it that intentional bill that changed it to the third Wednesday instead of the fourth. Oh, that's just a type should have been the 28th, right? 28th should have been okay. Good. Good catch. The 21st is my anniversary. So well, does she want to come and sit with us? Glenn. Since that came up that the 21st is was not the intended date. It looks like we also have a one week gap between the two June meetings as proposed the 12th and the 19th. Yeah, that should also not be should be the 26th. Okay, so I think it still works for me, but I didn't want to have a meeting on Juneteenth either. I was looking forward to calling it out. But it's okay. Okay. Do you do we need to vote on? Should probably I'll add one thing, which is just my annual caveat that even though we're canceling the regular meeting, that we reserve the right to call special if we need contracts approved or those kind of obviously probably warrant but could be calling meetings occasion we've had five minute meetings to do certain business. So doesn't mean you won't be called into duty, but we won't have a regular full council night agenda. Is there a motion to amend the summer schedule as discussed? I so I would move that we amend the city council summer meeting schedule to reflect meetings on June 12, June 26, July 10, August 14, and then we decided August 28. And I assume those meetings would start at 6 30. Okay. Second, further discussion. I just have a question of posting our regular meeting dates. The only date we're changing is the July. So we will just note that that's been canceled. Okay, I guess I just feel more comfortable making the motion to change that one meeting. And less people will think these are not our regular dates. These are our regular. These are our regular. I think she was just responding to what was in the meeting. I was just clarifying all the dates. Just asking if we just wanted to change the one date, not meet on July. I think that's what I think that's 24. The same thing. So do you have a comment? Okay. You're okay with that? Okay, great. Further discussion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. All right. So we're going to go to council reports. When anybody in particular like to start. Go ahead, Donna. Sure. The Montpellier infrastructure, commit transportation instructor committee meant just last evening. And one of the things that they had a discussion about were proposals who are soliciting money from the group to sponsor unusual projects. And one was coffee pooling. So instead of car pooling, they're using the word coffee. And it's a gentleman from Worcester, who he just appointed to the m ticks committee. And his idea is to have the cafe in Worcester, and the cafe on Elm Street, brooch garden, growth, growth, both be a place where people can pick up tokens. You pay a dollar for the token. And then you have this ride. And you turn the token into the driver. The driver then has a dollar off at that cafe. And the idea this is trying to reduce the amount of cars going up and down route 12 towards Worcester and Montpellier. And he's a bike rider, but not some weather he doesn't ride. And so he got hitchhiking. He thought why not make it a little more formal, but yet still loose, and wants to try this. So his application hasn't been approved. But I thought it was a really neat idea cafe to cafe. And it's a way to help people just spontaneously be innovative to help everyone get around. So we'll keep you posted if it goes through. On the other thing, just language wise, in staff as well as city council members, we need to remind ourselves that it's not a bike path anymore. And every document I see on that I mark it up. But I always don't always remember to tell staff or other people, it's a shared use path. It does take in pedestrians major major issue. Thank you. Good call. Connor. Right. I was invited to attend the social and economic justice meeting last night. We're very well represented by three people in the room. Peter Jamie is awesome. And Lauren, of course, I think has added a lot to that committee. But I just want to say was like, I think it was valuable. I was invited in to talk about the responsible contracting ordinance. And, you know, I said to them, I heard this committee was a bit chaotic. But like, I didn't see through the chaos like a real, you know, a real light at the end of the tunnel here. They sort of put you through the gauntlet and ask you especially Peter, he was like, Jack Russell terrier on your leg. But they'll put you through the gauntlet, you know, and I think it's good for the process because you can hammer out a lot of these things before you bring it to this stage here. And I think it might just be something to keep in the forefront of our minds. If you have something that's transportation related, you know, bring it in front of the committee, and it'll probably save time at our own council meetings. But I thought the racial equity tool kit, which they're converting into the sort of equity tool kit to broaden it on a bunch of issues can be really valuable just to sort of, you know, six steps that you put it through and any proposal, and just make sure that it benefits everybody in the community. So I was really impressed. Other thing to note, I attended the VCFA reception with the board the other night there, had a great chat with some of the board members. And I sat next to Margaret Patterson, who is the author of Bridge to Terabithia, and a number of other young adult novels. Catherine. Oh, geez. But I hadn't realized that Catherine recently moved to our community. So what a great treasure we have just welcoming Margaret here. Not just good. Catherine here. So it's great to have her that. And we should talk about the micro transit committee that we sat in at some point, because we actually got to see the technology work. The last one Donna and I were, and actually made it quite real. I thought for the first time, there was this concept in my mind, but having them walk through it, you know, made me think it was something that was actually like quite viable. So I was impressed. They showed the software from the dispatchers point of view from the riders point of view and the drivers point of view. It was very interesting, the software what you saw on your phone, or your iPad is very good. Cool. And I'm good. So first, I have to let the council know that I am stepping off of the Montpelier Transportation Infrastructure Committee because I realized that meets it on the same exact schedule as the TW Wood board, which I should have realized when I first got onto it, but I didn't. So I think with both Donna and Jack on that committee, we probably have adequate representation. But I apologize for my screw up. For the Wood Gallery, I was just at the board meeting on Monday. No, I suppose it was yesterday, Tuesday. And I have good news from the Wood Gallery. There is a new executive director just just hired Margaret Coleman from Burlington. She seems great. And I'm looking forward to working with her. We are bidding a fond farewell to Ginny Callan, who's run it for the last couple of years. She will, of course, stick around and she's overlapping with Margaret for a little while. But that is the news there. I visited another way last Monday for their weekly community meeting. And that continues to be a really valuable thing for me to talk to those folks. And I'm hopeful that it will at some point be useful to them too. I know right now, and over the last couple of weeks since the shelters shut down for the season, lots of people who come through another way are in need of camping gear, among other things. So if anyone has good usable quality tarps, ponchos, tents, sunscreen, tix spray, sleeping bags and pads, little first aid kits, just about anything along those lines, there's a long list. But if you have those things, take them over to another way, people can really use them. I like the reminder that we should be calling the bike path, the shared use path. And in my parlance, I'm going to start calling it the sup, I think. In a similar way that I call the water resource recovery facility, the wharf. So I think I think we can get get quicker on those things. The sup, the Sibawinnaby sup, is that right? So looking forward to that. We got to watch the sup bridge get installed out our back door from the drawing board last week. And that was fantastic and really thrilling. I can't wait for it to be open. I am going to run across twice. And over and back. Over and back, at least. And then tomorrow morning, I'll be at baguitos from 830 to 930, as usual, looking forward to seeing you there. Thank you. Ashley. So couple of things. So this coming Friday in Barry City, the Washington County State Attorney's Office, along with Vermont legal aid and a number of volunteer lawyers is hosting an expungement clinic. So for folks with certain kinds of convictions, they can come in, speak with an attorney who can advise them, my office will be there to review requests and answer questions for defense attorneys. And that'll be from 3 to 7pm on Barry City at the Memorial Auditorium. There is an event on Facebook as well. I shared that, but I figured I'd put it out here as well. I also wanted to highlight, I did not call dispatch about this last night, but I did notice again today, an issue at the intersection of Sibawinn College. There's some water coming up and running down. We have a malfunctioned valve. It's a water lane break, and they're trying to figure out how to fix it. They may end up having to do a major dig and repair, but they're hoping they can, because it's 12 feet down. I wasn't, I just, you said to call and sort of slipped my mind, but and the only other thing that I would highlight a good friend of mine died a year ago of a fatal heroin overdose here in Montpelier. And there was a relatively significant, there was some significant drug activity going on at the Econolodge recently. And I just want to reiterate for anyone in our community who is struggling with addiction, Montpelier police are able to provide transportation for anyone looking to connect with a treatment provider. You know, there are lots of meeting options. I know we still have a long way to go as a community to really destigmatize addiction. But at this point, there's really there there are services available. And there are professionals who are willing to step up and step forward. And I hope at some point that, you know, we can, we can make it a year with no drug related overdose deaths here in town. But I just wanted to reiterate that that those services are available. And that there are lots of people here, even at City Hall, who can who can direct you to to people that that can help you get where you need to go and help you get the services that you need. Thank you. Well, Ashley said stole what I was going to say. Free expungement clinic coming up on Friday. It's one of those the rare occasion where you will get to see prosecutors and defense attorneys working together to achieve a really beneficial social result. So if anyone out there is watching, you can make it, you can walk in, you can also make an appointment at 424-4701. I've put the flyers around town in various places, including out here in the hallway, it's at food co op and some other places. And I just think it's a great thing. Well, Lauren, great. I just wanted to thank the many city staff who have been giving me tours of facilities. I went to the wharf water resource recovery facility got a good hour 45 minute or so tour. It's fascinating, eager to see the new projects going in. The police chief and fire chief both spent quality time and just continue to be so impressed with the really kind of caring and thoughtful approach that all the departments I've toured take with with their important work they do for the city. So just wanted to thank all of them for the time and the work that they're doing and look forward to learning a lot more of what's happening and how we can all continue to do even better together. Connor mentioned some of the social and economic justice advisory committee work. We did adopt a strategic plan. So when I get that final version, I'll send it around to everyone. So people can see that and I'm sure we'll post it might already be up. Not yet but coming soon. And as we work on some of the more kind of tangible tools, but I think looking at the socially responsible ordinance concept and other things that's starting to see how this group can play a good role in bringing an important equity lens to the work they're doing. So you gotta do that. Thank you. Thanks. So I just want to update folks that I testified this morning at the House Government Operations Committee on the energy efficiency charter change that passed on town meeting day. And yeah, we'll see how it goes. It's kind of up in the air at this point and we will see where it lands. So there we are. What were the prominent questions? Could you share? Yeah, so they as expected were very, you know, concerned about like how how we would, you know, address folks who couldn't afford to do energy efficiency work.  What my hope is that, you know, we would be able to address those concerns. So in a certain sense, either way, I think we can start to have some just more public conversation about the direction that we go probably starting sometime in June. So starting to get some specific ideas out there, start vetting them with the public see how we can match, you know, regulation with incentives and how we can come up with some logistics for how this would be implemented, either way. Think it should be fine. And then one of the other. So with the new versus existing buildings, there was one fellow who asked if it was necessary to regulate existing buildings because just like in with cars, the energy efficiency regulation for cars is only on new cars. But I pointed out that cars have a lifespan of about 10 years. And so there's you know that in 10 years, there's going to be turnover. And that is just not the case with buildings. So there we are. Yeah, so we'll see. All right. John. Okay. Okay. All right. So we do have an executive session. At this point, I think if if people anticipated executive session, if people want to do that. Is there a motion to go into executive session? I move the Council find that premature general public knowledge of the of our positions in the ongoing litigation regarding the parking garage will place the clearly places city at a substantial disadvantage by disclosing our ultimate positions. Second, further discussion. All right. All those in favor, please say aye. Opposed. Okay, so the motion passes and we will know. And I move that we enter the executive session to discuss the parking garage litigation pursuant to title one session 313 a one. Second. E think he has another letter there. Thank you, Jack. There should be. Okay. Yep. Second. And Glenn is seconded. Okay, all those any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Opposed. Okay. And so we will not be returning to take any actions. So yeah, that's that's otherwise it for the public session. Thank you.

Should have mentioned something like DM rate, which is slowly being replaced with MD rate or and in the other direction, whatever. So this is the simple view of how things go in storage. But as we are in the developer conference, here I come with something that I call a developer's view. And this is how storage works from the developer's point of view. At the very bottom layer there is kernel, and the code that is implemented kernel, which is file systems, then kernel takes care about partition needs. The MD code, DM code is in kernel, butterfs of course. It's not special to be honest, the mic won't be able to say the part of us is special, it has some special features. It's a file system that spans across multiple block devices. That's not something... It's just to create different volumes, but it doesn't create any block devices. I just don't want to give you any information to people that it is something different than a file system, because it's definitely a file system. What I mean in this slide is that, especially in the previous slide, it's kind of quite a lot of code put into kernel, which takes care about things that are usually handled in a separate code, like replication data or anything like that. Butterfs is a topic for multiple talks, you can have one, I think it will be very... And then you have the loop device support in iSCSI and many others. So this is the kernel layer, and then there is the low level user space, which is the tools, libraries and utilities that communicate with this layer. Usually it's via the IOQ calls to kernel, or writing data exactly to some specific places and triggering kernel to read them and process them. So these are all the MKFS tools. It is also the lib-parket library, mdaem, lvm, dmsetout, which is using lib.mapper, which Kaby was talking about at the previous talk. Also multi-path, cryptsetup, and the libcryptsetup, butterfsprobes, lvsetout, iSCSI tools, iSCSI ADM, but they are multiple of them. And lib-iSCSI, I will get to lib-iSCSI later, and you will find out why it is here, and I hope it will be kind of funny and interesting for you. So these are the low level user space tools and libraries, and they give you the biggest control over what you can do outside of doing the kernel calls. Usually you can do everything, the technology supports in low level user space. I don't know about any example where you could do something with, for example, I don't know, device mapper that wasn't exported outside of kernel in a different form than IOQ calls. It's usually old, or as far as I can tell, it's all available in lib.mapper and dmsetout. But if you're writing an application, and for example, that interface, you don't want to do IOQ calls to kernel, but you usually don't want to use these tools and libraries as well, because they are really complex, they provide you with great power, but you have to take care about many things, and if you don't want to guess values, you have to ask user for values that they have no idea what these mean. I don't know, for example, many people know LVM, but if you ask what the extent size for their VG should be, then many people start it. They have no idea what an extent size is, they want to use LVM, but they don't want you to ask them for that value, and even though you don't have to pass it to LVM, it has some default, it's not the case with some other values that you have to pass to this layer.  And in this layer we have LeBlondat, I will get to that later, it's a library for manipulating blog devices in general. LVM DAPSTAT, which is a Proof of Concept Implementation of LVM Debust API, MultiPath Debust, which is the same for MultiPath, and also TargetD, which is a demon that you can interact with to export, for example, iSCSI devices from a server, and you can then work with them in your client, if I call them with these names. So this is the part, this is the low-level API, which gives you a lot of possibilities, but it's still kind of close to the low-level user space. It's an abstraction to some extent, but it has no extra abstraction that you could like to use in your high-level tools or in libraries and whatever. So then there is StorageD and Blivot, which are, well, many people don't understand the difference between StorageD and Blivot. I will also get to that later, but the basic difference is that StorageD allows you to do things in step-by-step way.  Whereas Blivot allows you to change the model, the in-memory model of your storage configuration and then commit it to disk in a single step. So it's kind of a transaction-like model, it's not a transaction at all, you cannot roll back, you cannot do things like you can do with real transactions, for example in databases, but it is an abstraction to the extent that you do things and then commit them in a single step. And then there is the Storage Management, which is a library that allows you to work with various SAN-relative things in a render agnostic way. While the interaction between these two layers happened with idle calls, usually between these layers you have either a C or a Python API or you are calling CLI tools, which is really optimal because forks are, for example, eating random data entropy, which doesn't probably bug you when you are working on your system, but it's kind of a problem in the installation because, or it could be a problem in the installation because there are limited resources of random data entropy and if you do a lot of forks, then they eat your entropy it is gone when you, for example, needed to create, I don't know, SSH keys for your server or encrypting your disks. So we are trying to, so the discussion is about to minimizing the CLI interface between these two layers. And then there is the user interaction layer, which is, for example, the Anaconda installer. I intentionally put parted here because it's a command line 2 that provides, I would say, a high-level approach to creating partitions. And there's also Blivet GUI, which is a graphical user interface on top of Blivet. So you can think about it as G-parted with some extra functionalities. It can work with LVM, it can work with ButterFS, MDRAID and things like that because Blivet supports all of this and it does it in this model change commit way. And there is SSM, the outer of which is sitting right here, which is a nice tool that provides a nice abstraction on top of these bulk device technologies and in a unified way. So, for example, you can do a snapshot of LV and you can do a snapshot of ButterFS volume. But as a user, you don't want to care about if it's LVM or ButterFS. You want to create a snapshot. So you can use SSM and tell it to create me a snapshot slash home and it just creates that snapshot and you don't have to care about the underlying technologies and things like that. And it has many more such features as creating volumes and things like that. And from the web technologies there is cluster management console, Calamari and you probably know Cockpit which is providing web user interface to server management but it includes a lot of functionality related to storage. And then unified storage management or manager, whatever the name is this week, it's basically a unification of cluster management console and Calamari. So something to manage cluster and set together. I think the next two talks are about set cluster and then cluster again. I'll ask these guys. Ok, so we have these layers and it's obvious that for example storage uses LVM to set up LVM SSM uses LVM to do things SSM uses ButterFS so it sounds nice but the reality is not that nice. The reality is this and you may remember the funny picture Who's use with the patent trolls and all those patents which company for patents so this is kind of a similar picture because if you take for example Blivet it is used by Anaconda and Blivet Kui so far so good. It uses LibLogDev it also uses TergD it also uses MKFS it also uses LibPartive and if you go through the transitions for example storageD uses LibLogDev it's really hard to to somehow make big sense from all of this and you can believe me that another like 50 arrows are missing in this image. Did you draw them? Yeah How did it take? It was actually kind of easy there are not so many of them so you can you can probably take the most important fact from that and that is that this is really a mess and so this is the storage land we have right now and as you can imagine in the storage Neverland where we where I hope we will somehow at some point get these there will be a lot less arrows all the arrows will be going in the single direction from bottom to top and there wouldn't be crossing so much so for example if something is implemented in storageD and something from the upper layer wants to use it or wants to do something with ok let me let me phrase it in a different way no arrow or as little number of arrows should go over a layer so for example if SSM wants to do something in LVN that is already implemented in storageD it should simply use storageD it shouldn't bypass it if the API is not ideal for SSM or Blivet or whatever the API should be extended or there should be some extra features in storageD because in this way we are duplicating efforts and we are duplicating a lot of codes and most importantly we are duplicating a lot of bugs because in some cases LVN for example asks you for confirmation because it is a CLI tool and it expects a user to be sitting on the IRM and so we have a code in SSM that makes sure that LVN doesn't ask and if it asks to give it an answer we have the very same code in Blivet we have the very same code in storageD and we are every piece of that code has its own bugs so I just propose that there should be a LVN library I will be at the later that would be great that is the great goal so I think and of course if you think about networking and network state they have maybe not so many technologies maybe less layers in this area but they would have a big round circle here they would say network manager and there would be a single B moment taking care of basically everything that can happen in networking so the question is is something like network manager of storage a good way to go and I see many people shaking their heads I have seen a lot more people shaking their heads in their question it is probably not a good idea because there are many many technologies and it would be kind of a bottleneck and many people have problems with network manager for example it is still not running in the early boot phase in the drake hood because it has a lot of dependencies it is kind of slow for some use cases so we probably don't want to do that but the solution is not that bad the only thing I really hate is this error going in the other direction which is storage d using partit peter is here he is sitting over there so I always thought that storage d uses lib partit but I think if I got it right yesterday when I checked it is using the partit utility so a bug file will be fixed so we need to get rid of many many of these errors and do things in nicer ways but since we are on a demo of our conference I would like to focus on those apis and maybe help you guys or your friends or whoever you can talk to to not add more errors here so let's focus on the apis first of all which is the most recent which are the most recent two things that are currently being developed developed our LVM dubstep which is a LVM dbus api prototype and multi-path dbus which is it is a read only dbus api for multi-path so you cannot do changes to your multi-path configuration but you hardly ever do that anyway so the read only api is kind of enough the LVM dubstep is a replacement for LVM and the replacement uses these double quotes on purpose because LVM is really a fail and it started to exist it provides a very limited functionality and it seems to be a dead end and there are many reasons for that I hoped Kaby to mention that in the previous talk but the biggest issue is that LVM needs to lock itself in memory because if it ended up on a sweat then the code that should activate the sweat back could be on that sweat so it would end up with a useless system so it's a greatly simplified view to the reason for that so it is a replacement in double quotes because it surpasses libLVM to a great extent provides much more functionality in a much better and nicer way it is right now it is implemented in Python but this week I heard a promise from the LVM team that they are going to they are going to rewrite they are going to see at some point and take it under their wings and develop it because right now it's developed by Tony who is not a member of the LVM team so that's why he's requesting that I know yeah sure so right now it's in Python it doesn't matter too much because it's really fast faster than most of the use cases really need so it's not a big problem as I mentioned it is actively developed extended and improved it also provides evens and signals for changes happening in LVM which otherwise are kind of hard to gather from UDF events and things you can monitor and so the goal the ultimate goal is to provide a version control non-forking non-blocking interface to LVM very similar situation the multi-path it said that it was kind of funny that originally there were two versions because two people had the same idea and chose a different approach one of them wanted to add a thread to multi-path D and the other was using clip multi-path and the second approach which seems to be the better one because the multi-path D people are really not fans of adding new threads running in their code and things like that the other two APIs are the label of that which is a C library the first goal was to rewrite blivet's backend that was written in Python to C so that it could be used for projects as well it provides support for butterfes, labs, DM something that I call terminal block devices which is Z-ram and B-cache loop devices LVM, MD, MPAL and SWAP and S390 stories so those densities and it is a stateless and synchronous library so if you want to create an LV in a non-existing Ouija it fails to do so just when it calls LVM and returns the result it has no state it doesn't remember that a Ouija was created or things like that and there is a very tiny library called LitviteSize which is just a combination of GObject and GMP the GNU multi-precision library which I was working with big sizes over the MaxUIN 64 bytes and it provides unified human readable representation of sizes so these two are more for information about the enterprise storage, I'm not sure how much people are interested in them about them so I think I can skip them if you want to ask something about them then reach me later and these are the three main high level APIs to kind of APIs StarchD is a successor of UDISKS2 it is basically the UDISKS2 codebase that was made modular and it adds some enterprise technologies like LVM which is the default storage configuration for Fedora so I'm not sure how much that is enterprise technology but it was for a long time rejected by the UDISKS2 developers and it resulted in creating a fork of UDISKS2 and calling it storageD because now we can add this functionality that we need it provides low level API for both devices as I already mentioned it provides the step by step approach and it provides both passive and active functionality by passive I mean that you can get information about block devices from there by active I mean that you can change you can actually change the block devices and also signals and monitoring I already mentioned something about Blivet it's written in Python it's used by the Anaconda installer it provides a high level API uses lid block depth and storageD as you have seen in the arrows and a very interesting thing about it is that it also apart from the model and commit approach it also provides device factories so you can for example tell it ok scan my storage configuration and now create an MD rate level 10 as big as you can on my system and it takes care about everything else it just goes on then you can check what it created and then you can commit to disk or not I already mentioned SSM which as far as I can tell it has no real API it's a CLI tool it's written in Python you can import the Python module it uses but it has no real nice API which would allow you to do use the unified abstraction functionality but it was not designed to have a real API just because of the abstraction so it was a little minor and it has been mentioned many times in the last few months that maybe the SSM approach is something that would fit into that network manager of storage where we could provide some high level abstraction and functionality to allow as well as users do some high level things not caring about the underlying technologies so these were the APIs and now I have some a few funny stories that happened I would like to share here comes the LVM I already mentioned something of that it was always wanted as long as I know as I have been in Red Hat for 5 years everybody was talking about LVM 5 years ago and it turned out to be a dead end and you know what? I'm kind of happy that it happened because now that everybody agreed it is a dead end there are no more requests to create it in a way that many people always want to exist and with LVM DAPSTEP the LVMD bus prototype nothing is really talking us from creating live LVM that would use the D-BUS interface so it could be a C library with the D-BUS interface behind the bag and you wouldn't have to care about that also another interesting thing was that I'm the author of the live log dev and it's ButterFS plugin and I was requested to use the IOC for calls like the ButterFS progs do in my plugin and I was like okay but then ButterFS progs should use live log dev ButterFS because we only want to have the code doing the IOC tools in a single place so why not make ButterFS progs use and of course the ButterFS people were like oh no no that's not gonna happen and I was like okay so then come up with live ButterFS and we can call that library both which is the way to go live ice-cazy is a very funny thing because actually this is live ice-cazy which is a downstream patch for open ice-cazy sources and it is shipped as part of the ice-cazy initiator utils package we have in Federa but the original upstream tarbol only provides command line utility and we have a patch that creates a library from that command line utility and the code in that command line utility is really not written to be aware of any other code running in the same process space so for example if you call some function from this library it can freeze your process for 12 minutes because that's what the command line utility does and it has no no thanks for that I already mentioned LVM CLI usage we have more than four implementations of parsing out the output of the LVM CLI and as the LVM team I think it was last year they presented something they call the dash-dash select option I internally call it LVM SQL because that's kind of what it allows you to do and it allows you to cherry-pick information the very little piece of information that you actually need and then you don't have to parse it except that we started doing that and we now have an open bug that Blivet is scanning disks for 12 minutes and calling LVM CLI 800 times by doing that we are cherry-picking the information but we are cherry-picking it in 2000 instances so these are kind of set stories the nicer stories are LibBlogDev using LVM debuts now and there are two plugins for LibBlogDev both providing the LVM functionality one is using the CLI one is using debuts the debuts of course provides significant speed up and less forks and is completely transparent to the color of LibBlogDev so if you use LibBlogDev like Blivet does, you don't have to care about if the LVM debuts is available or not, it will just work and use the better option and also one nice story Blivet is using storageD iSCSI now because we used to have a code in Blivet that was doing iSCSI operations and we didn't like it so it was removed but actually moved to storageD and we now have this at least we now have this ugly code in a single place so we are deduplicating code ok, i'm out of time so thank you for attention you can reach me via email or on IRC or here i will be here tomorrow so if you have any more questions and things like that feel free to catch me by the presentation please yes so given that you still think there should be less individual projects developing stuff like this i believe there should be less but wouldn't it be the same argument as having less distributions to just have three major distributions and they'll fix everything because distribution re-implements distribution did but it's kind of pointless to for example have a code that parses output of LVM so it's never going to happen it's never going to reach a point where you have just a couple of projects doing the exact same thing so let me talk to you i'm Alex i'll be introducing you so všetka odšlil je to bovány red ok je se red nejce, sávánta s ozeckázov, byste na používá tento a objevný bás věc jestli teďka dělal dělal ten lidlouby jak je to mrozdil proti vovány si všetký povížet na pozadí to stění pořád vělat.
