Please, when you see stop signs, it is better you stop. For example, we have jim above shay, okay? After shay. We have jim. You said, And you stop here. This is not beautiful. Yeah, it is better when you see stop sign like jim, Salah, or Qala, or Mim, of course, you should stop, okay? It is better. So don't read Ayah in one brief, okay? Okay. Can I start from Qalu? Qalu.

That is sign like zero. So what does it mean? So it's shorter then. It means if you stop, you must read Aleph. But if you continue, you have to skip this Aleph. Okay. If you continue. So again, please. Yeah. No, you did wrong again. If you want to continue, you cannot read it. No. Qalu. Sometimes you make a short. For example, Okay. Qalu. Qalu. Qalu. Okay. Yes. But how we connected to the next letter? After we have Jim second. And Aleph, it will be skipped because it is Aleph was between sentence, it will be silent. So what is solution here? How we connect? Okay. Qalu. Qalu. Qalu. Qalu. It is wrong. You made a short. What is correct? Yes. We have not provided them with a secret, and a warning, and a warning before they come on the Day of Rebellion, nor the Day of Rebellion, nor the Day of Rebellion.

I mean, your fast, your speed, maybe you read fast, and this cause you make a lot mistakes. Wa-Llahu An-Zalamina As-Samaa. What you say? Wa-Llahu An-Zalamina As-Samaa-Imaaan. This is, of course, make a lot of mistakes. So, please decrease your speed, okay? Thank you. Continue. Wa-Llahu An-Zalamina As-Samaa-Imaa. Stop, la ibarah. Roundtah will change to ha. When you stop, la ibarah. Like, hayya alas salati. Did you say, Ezan? Hayya alas salah. It is salati, but because we stop, we'll change to ha, ibn al-staping. Hayya alas salat. If you say, Hayya alas salat, it's wrong. If inside each other, Meenah As-Samaa wa-Ati Meem, Alif Madda, Waab, Alif Madda, Samaa. If you say la ibarah, the meaning will be the opposite. La ibarah, it means assured, surely he will be able. But la ibarah, it means he is not able, okay? So, one Alif Madda, one Alif Madda, you made it sure, you completely changed the meaning. So, it is so much stretching or making short, any voice, any sign, any letter, okay? La ibarah, la ibarah. So much difference in meaning. Be careful. You said sira, no, sira.

You can do it from your book if you want to, but I will be sharing the screen with you as well, inshallah. Yes, let's start. Let's begin. I'm reading from the screen. So, you know, this will, I'm seeing only, you know, portion of the Ayat, not the full Ayat. You're seeing the portion. Yeah, this is not the full Ayat. Try to adjust your screen on Zoom.

Okay, excuse me for a minute, please. Yes. Yes, please carry on. Please mute your microphones. Dear participants, brothers and sisters, please mute your microphone. Otherwise, the recitation gets interrupted. Okay, brother. Mashallah, with your permission, let me teach you a rule right here. So, the word here is as you have read it with actually, according to the rule of this that comes after the right. And after this, we have this. So, whenever we have this situation, we always rule out, just skip this dial. So, this will be that tone, right? So, I, Mashallah, you are doing really well. Please carry on. Let's do this Ayat again. Mashallah. Well done. Mashallah. Okay. So, the rule, let me repeat it once again. Whenever you have a saakinah, a saakin alphabet, and after the saakinah, you have an alphabet with a shaddah. So, you just always skip the saakin alphabet, just like we did here in the word Sadatum. Okay, Mashallah. Please carry on. Mashallah, you are doing really good. Okay, please excuse me for a minute. Just let me fix this. Yes, brother. So, let me tell you another thing now here. Yes. We are revising this Ayat. So, this is, in this word, here we have Amad-e-Mun-Fasil, right? Correct. It's Amad-e-Mun-Famad that creates a fast between this and this long vowel. It starts with a Hamza. So, whenever you see this mud, always separate this word from the word that's coming up. It will always be starting with a Hamza, right? Just like another example here. Inama should not be merged into anta, not like this. Not like this. You should separate. There are two of them. So, let's do this Ayat once again, please. All right. Mashallah, very good. Okay, let me ask you another thing here. We have this jim here, I mean, Allah. This jim. Correct. What's the meaning of this jim? It's optional. You can stop here or you can continue. Very good. This is called the Waqf-e-Jais. Waqf-e-Jais, as we also use in Urdu and Farsi in Arabic. Jais means you are allowed either to stop or you continue. Mashallah. Mashallah, Mashallah, Mashallah. Well done. Just let me check the other participants. Okay. So, we have with us here Brother Ali Shadeed. Can you hear me? Brother Ali Shadeed. Brother Ali Shadeed is not here. Okay.

Okay. So, we'll be starting from Surat 119. Are you doing it from the screen or from your book? I'm doing it from the screen. Okay. Can you see it clearly? Is it visible? Yes, everything's here. All right. So, let's begin, Bismillah. So, this is the end of this Surah, Surat al Nahal. Let's take the next Surah. The next Surah we have is Surat al Isra. Surah bani Israel is also called Surah bani Israel. Okay, let's begin, Bismillah. Okay. So, I know that you already know the meaning of ayat and ayat. So, the word ayat refers to a singular ayat, a singular sign. The word ayat refers to many signs. So, let's do this ayat once again. Okay. So, did you notice the mistake that you made?

Okay, this word, ahkhirata. Ahkhirata. Yes. Right? So, we cannot extend the vowel of ra because there's no alif there. Right here. Let me point it out. Right here. Right? So, arad al akhirata. Okay. Yeah, no problem yet. Yes. Ahkhanta. Ahkhirata. Okay, wait. We have here alif maddi along with the maddi munfazil. So, Okay. So, let me tell you a rule about tajweed, the tajweed rule that's called So, the name is difficult but the rule is very easy. For example, this word is here waqool and then we have rabbi. So, whenever we find an alphabet that's sakin just like this letter, laam here and the next letter has a shadda. We skip this laam because it's sakin and that's followed by another letter that has a shadda. So, the correct pronunciation waqool rabbi r-rahamuma. Okay. So, Okay. Here we have This is alif maddi. Okay. Yeah. This alif, like whenever you're put by an alif, this is called alif at two counts at least. Yes. Mashallah. I was very happy to hear from you and to listen to your Qura'at. Mashallah.

Alhamdulillah. How are you? MashaAllah. Nice to hear from you again. And let's begin with Surah Al-Asra, Ayat 27. You know something, Qafoor is something different and Qafoor is something different. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Remember? So, this is Qafoor, not Qafoor. Right? So, it makes a lot of difference in Huruf-e-Maddi. Let's do this at once again, please. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. This word, it has two components. Seen alifatah. And the other component is Hamza fatah. Right? So, I am hearing that you are pronouncing like, it's not correct. You are breaking it in three parts. It is in two parts. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water.

Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor works hard on this word especially between ilah and illa as we discussed yesterday as well and the day before yesterday as well that illa is different and illa is a very different meaning so you have to be really vigilant on it please. Yes. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water. Qafoor is when you give muscle to a mayat, you put in Qafoor in the water.

Yes, from the beginning, yes Wa izaa masakumuzzuru fil bahre Zalla man tad'una illa yahoo Falamma najakum ilal barri aras thum Wa qanal insanu kafura Okay, try to be real slow Okay, don't hurry up Don't rush Just read one word at a time Try to concentrate on one word at a time It will be easy insha'Allah Afaa mentum ayyaksifah Bekum janib al barri Janib al barri Janib al barri Alaykum hasiban Suma la tajidu Lakum vaqeela La tajidu La tajidu Lakum vaqeela Am'am mentum An ayyaksifah Fi taratan okra Fa yursila Alaykum qasifah Menarrehe Fa yughreka Menarrehe Fa yughreka Kumbema kafartum Suma la tajidu Lakum alayna Bihi tabi'u Wa laqad qazamna Bani Adama Wa hamallahum Fil barri wa l-bahri Wa razaknahum Menat tajibati Tajibati Tajibati Wa fazzalnahum Ala qaseerim Mimman Qalaqna tafzeela Yawma nad'u Qulla'unasim Bi'ima mehim Fa man'u tiyah Kitabahu biyameen Bi'ameenihi fa ulaika Yakrauna Kitabahum Fa wala yuznamuna Fati'la Wa man'kanah Fi hazihi a'ma Fahua fil aqirati A'ma wa azallu sabila Wa inqadu la yaftinuna La yaftinuna ka aninnazee Awhayya hayna Alaika la taftariya Alaina Ghaira Wa izallat takhwazuqa khalila Walulah an tabbatnaqa Tabbatnaqa Tabbatnaqa laqad kit'a Tarkanu ilayhim shay'an khalila Okay, the word is Tarkanu, not Tarkanu, right? Now, let me explain something here with your... Let me explain something here. The Huruf-e-Maddi. There are three Huruf-e-Maddi. Whenever there is a fatha that is followed by an alif, right? This is called alif-e-Maddi. Or we have a kasra and that is followed by a ya. This is called a ya-e-Maddi. A dhamma that's followed by a wao is called a wao-e-Maddi. You have to stretch on these three, right? Not all, like only on these three, like alif-e-Maddi, wao-e-Maddi, and ya-e-Maddi. And the other wao is the fatha kasra, dhamma have to be really short, right? For example, Tarkanu. Tarkanu is singular and Tarkanu is plural. So it makes a lot of a difference, right? So let's do this once again, please. Walawla an'qabbatnaka tabbatnaka Tabbatnaka laqad kit'a tarkanu ilayhim shay'an kaleela Izzallah azakna ka zifal hayate wa zifal mamati summa la tajidu lakka alayna nasira Excellent, masha'Allah.

Yes. Okay, very well done. Banu nazilu min al-Qur'ani mahhu wa shifa'u wa rahmatullil mu'mineen Wa la yazidu zalimina illa khasara Whenever you have this sign, laam alif, you should not stop. Otherwise it changes the meanings. Like putting full stops in between the sentence. Okay. Let's do this again. Banu nazilu min al-Qur'ani mahhu wa shifa'u wa rahmatullil mu'mineen Wa la yazidu zalimina illa khasara Ma'sha'Allah Should I start from the beginning? Yes, please. Wa iza an'amna al-insani a'raza wana bejanibi Wa na'a bejanibi Wa na'a bejanibi Wa iza mas- Wa iza mas- And they ask you, I am the soul of all the souls, from the commandment of my Lord.

And I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, and I have not been given from knowledge, participants as well. If you want to, you will get a better idea about doing a better presentation inshallah. The next participant we have is brother Muhammad Hussain Lillani. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Wa alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Ahlan wa sahlan marhaba. JazakAllah. Welcome brother. So, how are you doing today inshallah? Absolutely fine, alhamdulillah. Mashallah, ahsant, ahsant. We can just give me a moment please. Sure. Okay, let me share the screen with you and we will continue from where Sayyid left us. Okay, so Surat al-Israat, Ayat 87. Will you be doing it from the screen? No, I'm residing it from my book. From my book, from your book, alright. Inshallah. Let's begin, Bismillah. Allahumma al shaytan al rajim. Bismillahir rahma'am al raheem. Illa rahmatam mir rabbik. Inna fab'lahu ka na'a aleyka kabira. Kulla inaj ta ma'atil in suwal jinn. Wa la quads farah. Ahsant, ahsant. Wa qaala ka hafta ta fujr la wa tufajr al anhaara. Hila wa twasam wa qubila. Okay, excuse me, just let me tell you about a Tajweed rule here. Mashallah, your Nazra is very good. I may tell you about a Tajweed rule right here. So here we have this word, billahi. Billahi, right? So whenever there is, you see the name of Allah, that's called Ism-e-Jalalah. Ism-e-Jalalah. And before that you have a kathrah. So you will always pronounce it like this. Like with an empty mouth. Okay. Billahi, just like bismillahi. Wa ila wa ila ma'atil. You have a fatha or a dhamma. Before the word Allah. You pronounce it with a full mouth. So Allah, you see the difference? Okay, can I repeat? Can I repeat this side? Yes, please. Okay. Please, let me tell you another thing. Okay. See at the end of a word. For example, we have, Wa-lan-nu-mi-na. See the word? Wa-lan-nu-mi-na. Okay. Right? Nu-mi-na. Na should be really short. If you say Wa-lam-nu-mi-na, it changes the meaning. Right? Alright. Okay. If you say Le-ru-ki-yi-ka, it changes the meaning. Again, Hatta-to-na-z-zila. If we say, to-na-z-zila, it's wrong. Right? So, you should be very careful about pathas, kasas and zammas. They should be really short. Yes, please do this at again. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you. It was very nice listening to your recitation. You can stay with us if you want to. Other participants will be reciting and you may get some good lessons from here, inshallah.

And I did not forget it except that the devil said, I will remember it. And he took his way in the sea, it was amazing. He said, that is what you used to do. And he found a servant of our servants. And a mercy from us. And we taught him knowledge. He said to him, Moses, do I follow you so that you teach me what the devil teaches. He said, you will not be able to be patient with me. And how can you be patient with me? He said, you will not find me your servant. He said, if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I tell you about it. Until he embraced me in the boat. He said, you will not be able to be patient with me. And he said, I do not mind at all. And I told him, you will not be able to be patient with me. And he told me, I don't mind at all.  I did come with something to report.  He said, I asked you about something after that, so don't leave me. He left me, he left me, he left me. Until he came back, he left me, he left me, he left me. Until, when he came back, he left, he left me, he left me, he left me. And they threw him away. They threw him away, they threw him away, and he found a hole inside.

As for the shipwrecks, they used to work in the sea. So I wanted to destroy it. Destroy it and leave it. The king took every shipwreck. As for the boys, they were their fathers.

I've seen the role of product evolve since the last 10 years, from being almost non-existent into being the most strategic function for most companies. Product is accountable for growing revenue, not just adding user value. Today, there's over one-third of the Fortune 100 companies that already have a chief product officer. And we estimate that we'll have over 50 CPOs in Fortune 100 by the end of 2024. Just think about it for a second. Most of the companies in Fortune 100 are not high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. They're all investing in technology. They're all becoming software companies. This is the best time in history to build the guitar products.


At Audiology Associates of Prestonsburg, you can live your life the way you want and find the freedom of better hearing. You'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met. Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Country Hills Vet Clinic will be holding an event to help the Knot County community in light of the recent flooding. The event, which will be held at the MindMade ATV Adventure Park, will provide animal vaccines, pet food and various other items. I'm from Knot County. I actually live over there, so this is my community. This is the one that I'm very, you know, comfortable with and I've seen it firsthand and a lot of them, I mean, they don't have the main drive handle. They're trying to rebuild and they don't have, you know, they don't have these things. So we're trying to, we're going to do vaccines over for all of the people living in the campers so that their pets are safe to, you know, be around there, around other people. And, you know, if they want to get into an apartment, something like that, you know, but it's welcome to anybody because essentially we've all been affected. Pets are not the only ones who can turn out to receive items. We have gotten a lot of kids underwear and t-shirts, moving packages of the Haynes. We have gotten tons of snack foods, like Knot County schools. A lot of them have not started yet. School snacks. I mean, I've got, I've got a ton of school snacks.  The event will begin at 10am on Saturday, September 10th and is free to attend. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.


There we go. How's it, how's it, guys? I have in my hand a role of Provia 400x120 film that says it's exposed. This role of film, I totally forgot about it. I don't know what pictures are on here at all. What I do know is it's probably about 20 years old, and had I not found it when I was digging around through my old student prints the other day, this would have been lost to history. And it reminded me of the story of another photographer who had a decision gone in a different way. Her images would also have been lost to history. So it is the mid-1950s, and this photographer, Eve, is thinking about going to a class run by a gentleman called Alexei Brodovich, who was the art director of Harper's Bazaar. He was mentor for Richard Avedon, Irvin Penn, some really huge names in photography.  Because this is an art director for Harper's Bazaar, so rather obviously the entire classroom is full of experienced professionals who are looking to be closer to the master, Alexei, you know, the hope of getting a job. So Eve makes a decision, I'm not going to show any of my prints.  Two showers. And it's at this point that Eve's friend holds up this envelope of prints, waves them around and goes, here, here, here, at the back, at the back. The envelope gets passed forward, Alexei takes them out, and he presents them. He says reaching down to get one of print. He presents them to the class, for critique. And Eve recounts her in her book. She goes, I felt flayed alive. I think we could probably imagine, you know, the feeling that she's getting. Everybody who's been in a live critique session may recognize it. And it's at this point that the two Eves start to diverge. She goes on to recall here that she ran home with my envelope, weeping. I agonized for a day, and then when I thought that I decided absolutely that I would not go back to class, I found myself saying that the following week's assignment was fashion. And asking my son's nursemaid who lived in Harlem whether she knew of any fashion shows there. This is where I think a lot of us who may be subjected to this kind of criticism would take the first option of just giving up. I've had enough, I don't really want to do this, right? That's the response I'm going to get. Because it can be very hard to take. But the second Eves goes off to Harlem. She fiddles with her camera, the flashes and working. Don't forget this is all days before auto everything takes them back. Alexa puts them at the bottom of the pile. She's saying, oh, here we go. He doesn't like them. He's going to save it to the end. Everybody can just have a go at me again. This is it. And he gets to the end of the pile of prints.  I'm going to critique these myself. He looks at them. He goes, this, this is real. This is documentary photography. This is very different from everything else that the other students have supplied, which is kind of like set or beaten type fashion. He says, you are not doing any more assignments for this class. I want you to go and learn by doing. I love that. That's awesome.  Those photographs, they get published in picture post. That's when Henry Cartier-Bresson and Robert Kappa see them and then go, do you know what Eve, would you like to join Magnum as a photographer? And that's when Eve Arnold, the photographer is born. But how many people would have possibly gone down that first route of not going back? How many great photographers, potential great photographers, have been lost to us throughout history? Because somebody said something negative to them about their work. Just a quick interruption because I totally forgot earlier is that this Sunday, it's 4th of February at 6 o'clock. It is the live stream of my natural light workshop. If you have bought a ticket already, I've been sending out some emails with the URL that you're going to need to access the workshop. If you haven't received one of those yet, please check your spam folder. If you can't find anything, reach out to me. I'll make sure that you actually get a link so you can join us. If for any reason you are not able to make the live stream or you would like to join, but you think, okay, well, I've got something else planned. If you buy a ticket now, you will have access to the recording of the live stream in your TPE course library as well. So there's no excuse to miss out. But yeah, check your spam folders. If you haven't signed up already, you want to get a seat, click on the description box below with the link. And let's get back to the video. I think it's a shame that these kind of things happen. And I can see why because I think about my own experiences that when I was a student, we would have assignments and then we would be critiqued as a group in a lecture room where they put all the prints up in the wall. The lecturers would have a look at them and they'd say, this is the next thing about them. And then your friends would also say their opinions or share their opinions about your work. And it might go something like this, you know, oh, Alex, that work. Oh, Jesus, you know, come on, man. It was like there's no tonal range on this or your focus is all nonsense and your composition, man. That's just, that's just sucky. There we go. And within that, you may recognise there's a type of tone of voice that says, I'm giving you critique, but I want you to improve. I want you, you can do better than this. There is a support development. At least that's how I always kind of read it. You know, I got this feeling that, you know, people are pushing me as I was pushing other people to be as good as they could be. That's why we were all there. We were all pulling in the same direction. The problem that I find online, especially over the years when I've been a member of a lot of photography groups, is that people don't necessarily have that mutual support. There's a lot of people who come in. They just want to show how much they know by, you know, critiquing everything in sight and telling everybody what's wrong with the pictures. There are people who are having a bad day and they just want to vent. There are people who just, you know, they just kind of muddle along and just don't really contribute to anything.  The first of all, the main thing is that, is that community active? That's a great site. If it is a community of even like 20 people and there are like two or three posts a day, that's pretty good. If it's a community of 100,000 people and there's only like 10 or 20 posts a day, I would say that's probably a bad sign because there's a lot of people come in and they're just not, they're not interacting with each other. So there's no momentum going on.  What a great sign. That's such a helpful thing to see within a group. The second thing I would probably look at is the nature of the comments. Now, not everybody is going to be making comments that are super helpful. Some people just, they're not very eloquent when they type or whatever reason. They may just say, that's a nice photograph. That's kind of cool. Those kind of comments, okay, you see a lot of those nice capture, but there will be, or hopefully there will be, if this is the right kind of group, a number of voices who offer feedback, who offer supportive criticism in a more supportive kind of way. They would say, you know, I really like that photo. I see where you're going with that. But I think it might be stronger if you tried this or have you considered looking at such and such? Or, you know, I think maybe color is the wrong choice here or that certain element, the way that you compose is a bit distracting. Those, I feel, those are supportive comments. People saying that you've done this wrong or that's, you know, this, I have a reflector here, right? So they might say you've used the silver side of the reflector rather than the white side. So this is kind of saying, well, this is light or that kind of light was touching those. That's all wrong. Those are, I think those are the comments that you need to be careful and be mindful of. If you go back to Eve Arnold, you know, Alexa is saying your work is very different. I want you to go and explore it. I want you to find you learn by doing, right? He could have said, look at this work. It is all rubbish. You're not doing it the correct way. Eve, you need to follow these people over here and do this. Do that. Do the next thing because that's the way it is done. But he doesn't. He recognizes within Eve Arnold that she has a talent and he knows that her talent is not going to benefit from being the next Cecil Beaton. So he's intelligent enough to be able to recognize this and to be able to guide Eve Arnold in the direction that she will benefit from going because it suits her. Somebody with more knowledge saying, have you considered this direction because I think that would be a good way for you. These are signs that once you actually kind of are open to them and looking for them, you start to find them. I've followed many people and listened to many bits of advice that were actually very bad for me but seemed like a good idea at the time. And it wasn't only until later in my career, and I'm thinking sort of 2010 around about then, that I finally came across a couple of guys who were of that caliber and they weren't strictly mentors because we never had like a formal arrangement of mentoring. But they were very supportive with my photography and especially my wedding photography, which is something that I've been revisiting recently. I've been looking a lot of it and I see their influence. They guided me into a path in wedding photography because that's what specifically we're talking about at the time that worked for me because they kind of went, Alex, you talk about this, you like this, you like that. This may be something that's worth exploring and they were right. So I think that's a fantastic way of finding somebody is just listening, looking at the people who are supportive with you, who don't tell you that you're doing things wrong but suggest that you're kind of going in a direction that might not actually suit you. I hope through some of these videos that I make and we talk about the ideas and the photography that I expose us all to, that it sparks ideas, avenues within you that you kind of go, actually, I'm going to explore that. And that from hearing other people's stories of listening to people like E. Arnold, that you realize that somebody can say something negative about you, that they can give you some harsh criticism or to use the words of E. Arnold, feel like you've been flayed alive. But that's not the end of the road. That's one person's opinion. So this weekend, as you're going out there, whatever you've got up, think about your photography, think about over the course of this year looking for someone, or just keeping an eye out for somebody who can support you in your photography. Even if it's just a kind of a moral support who can just go, somebody who can sit down and go, I'm struggling with this. Man, can I get an honest opinion about it?  That, I think, is something that if you can find that person, and I can't tell you where or find it specifically, because everybody, of course, is going to be different, then just go with the flow, man. Find somebody. They're out there. As the saying goes, the teacher appears when you need them. Anyway, thank you ever so much for watching. If you'd like to watch more about E. Arnold's photography, check out this video over here. Her secret to reconnecting, oh, listen to me with the frog in my throat. Oh! The secret to photographing people. Thanks once again so much, and I'll see you again soon.


Okay, you all set in your set. Okay. Welcome to the Monday, December the 20th, 2021 meeting of the Montpelier Design Review Committee. I will let members and staff introduce themselves first by remote and then in person. Marsha Smurski, Member. Eric Gilbertson, Member. Ms. Bridgette, Member. Meredith Crandall, Staff. And Steve Everett, Member. Unless there's any other comments at this time, I will let the staff review the remote meeting procedures and process. So this is going to be mostly for people who are watching via ORCA. But Bridgette, you're also going to see something on your screen. And there'll be a few things that are helpful for you, I think as well. All righty. Sorry. Oh, that's Eric. I was hearing the whistle. So for those of you viewing this meeting via ORCA media, you can participate in tonight's design review committee meeting via the Zoom platform through either video or telephone access options. So the link here is through the Zoom platform where you get to have both the ability to speak to us, as well as get to see everything that we're doing on the screen. You can also call in using this phone number in this meeting ID. If anyone's having problems accessing the meeting, please email me. I keep my email open throughout all of the meetings. And I will help you access and get in this if I can. For those pretending via Zoom, so Bridgette, the turning on your video is optional. For everyone attending, please keep your microphone on mute when you're not speaking to reduce background noise. And if anybody does get on and is having some technical issues, you can use the chat function to deal with those or logistics. But please keep any other comments to verbal comments so that we can catch them for the record. In the event the public is unable to access this meeting, it will be continued to a time and place certain. And like I said, I'll be monitoring my email for those questions. I'm going to hand the meeting back over to the chair. Okay, at this time, do I hear a motion to approve the agenda? This is Martha. I move to approve the agenda. And do I hear a second? Okay, all in favor of the agenda, speak your names. Martha? Liz? Eric, do you have a vote? You have to unmute yourself. Okay, I'm yes as well. So we can go forward to the first application. The applicant is Bridgette Morris regarding placement of a new wall sign. Go ahead and describe your application for us. Hi, good evening, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. Bridgette Morris with Morris Government Affairs just recently reopened an office. You may remember I was previously at 47 Court Street. I think I was before this committee almost two years ago. Maybe yeah, two years ago now, December 2019 or so. And closed my office during the pandemic. And I'm now reopening an office at 107 State Street on the second floor. And been working with the same designer, John Miller, who has planned a similar sign in the one I had previously, but one that actually fits beneath some of the existing signs that are currently on that building. So thank you for having me tonight. Quick question for you. I see there's a plywood backer behind the sign. Is that plywood backer attached directly to the brick? It says it's attached through screws and or bolts into the mortar joints. But is the plywood tight to the building or is there an airspace behind it? I have to be honest with you, I don't know the answer to that. I'd have to ask John. I'm not, you know, he's going to be installing it himself. But I think whatever the other signs are that are on that building, I know he did the, I forget the name of it, the Vietnamese place and is doing whatever he used for that on my sign as well. But the landlord has approved John Russell. Okay. Now I was just wondering about two things about the weather getting to the plywood. And if there's any moisture that gets between the plywood and the brick and a tight space, sometimes just a small separation give us ventilation, which will preserve the sign. Well, I can certainly pass that along to him. You know, I think he's been doing this for a long time in Montpelier. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but I will make sure that he's aware of that. Thank you. Now we trust his work and I'm sure he will do whatever is necessary to preserve the material. But I just thought I would ask in case there was any information regarding that in the application. Sure. That's okay. Thank you. And Bridget, this is Martha. Did you consider any other colors than the bright, bright white background? No, Martha, it's the same design I had on the previous sign. And I think, you know, because all of my business cards and my, sorry, the format I use on my documents, all kinds of, they all match at this point. And that was kind of the intent behind it was just to keep them all in line. Okay. Yeah. Well, I see that the full capital sign is also a bright white, but it really stands out to me. Yeah. Yes, I agree with you. I think we just decided because the other sign was also white that it would fit. It's not a perfect match to the law firm above, but you know, when you get into that level, they had a different sign done that I think was carved into wood. And I just feel like, you know, that was at this point, something I was willing to invest in yet. Okay. I just wanted to know. Yeah. Thanks. The one comment might be to, if the white color is a satin color rather than a gloss color, that would soften the sign and also you would maintain the contrast. Sure. Yeah. I actually have to check with John on what we came down to and the final, I'm not sure that it's even been finalized, the satin versus gloss, but I'm totally willing to do either way, whatever the committee prefers to sign. The satin is good because less subject to reflection and glare that makes reading the sign hard. Okay. Do any members have any other comments, questions or suggestions? No. Not for me. Okay. No. Yes. Okay. Then we can go through the criteria. There's a criteria sheet for signs in the design control overlay district. Number one, the size, location, color, texture, lighting and material of all exterior signs within the design review overlay district shall be compatible with the building and structures of the site and surrounding properties. That's acceptable. Where appropriate, signing shall respect the original sign placement and sign bands on historic structures, acceptable. If a building has multiple tenants, there shall be consistency and placement and size among the signs. That's acceptable. It is recommended that sign placement be centered over building entries. Obviously in this location, the location of the sign is acceptable. Sign installation shall minimize damage to character defining materials, acceptable because a mounting is done in the mortar joints. And again, that's reiterated in the following. In masonry buildings, fasteners shall be in the mortar joints, acceptable. Sign design, color and typography shall respect historic precedents where appropriate. And shall be the appropriate scale for existing and new buildings, acceptable. Sign support structures shall be compatible with the building architecture and must not be overly complex or dominant in and of themselves, that's acceptable.  And reflection, all in favor of the applications, speak your names. This is Martha, I say yes. Liz, yes. And Steve, yes. So the application has passed and I'll let you describe the next step. So Bridget, we will scan this recommendation form and email it to you because there is a recommendation on it. As long as you agree with that, sign it, scan it back to us, just the signed part and then we'll issue the permit. Great, thank you, Meredith. Thank you, everyone, I appreciate it. You're welcome, Bridget. Thank you for being on tonight. Yes, thank you for coming and good luck with your project. Thank you. And good luck at the new office. Thank you so much. Okay, bye. Bye. Again, Langdon Street will be, the application will be continued. And next is to approve the meeting minutes from November the 15th. Does anybody have any comment or suggestion regarding the minutes? This is Martha, I'll move to approve them the way they're written. Second, Eric. All in favor of the minutes, speak your names. Eric, yes. Martha. Yes, yes. And Steve, yes. So the minutes are approved. Does anyone have any other business or anything to add at this point? Yes, I'll say Merry Christmas to all of you.  Thank you. We will see you all in the new year. So the next meeting is January 3rd. We will at least have for Langdon Street on the agenda. Don't know if we'll have anything else. We'll find out next week. And Meredith, will there be a meeting on the 17th or will that be moved to Tuesday? That's moved to Tuesday, that's on the 18th. I can resend you the annual meeting calendar. Did I not send that out to you guys? No, I think you did, but I just don't have it in front of me. Yeah, so yeah, that meeting will be on Tuesday, January 18th. Okay. If we have one, sometimes it slows down in January, we'll see. Okay, thank you. Thank you. If there's nothing else at this point, do I hear a motion to adjourn? Somos says Eric. I second it. This is Martha. All in favor of adjournment, speak your names. Eric. Martha. Liz. And Steve. So the meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for coming. Thank you everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
