I'm going to call the meeting. We're broadcasting. Ready? Okay. The regular meeting of the Capitola Planning Commission is called to order and roll call please. Commissioner Rudd here. Commissioner Wilk here. Chairman Newman here. And Commissioner Welch is not here. I'll say a word about that later. And Commissioner Christensen is expected and will join us when she gets here. So first we have the Pledge of Allegiance and we actually have the flag here in the background. Okay. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. And the foundation of God but indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay. We got to work on the tempo a little but otherwise good. Additions and deletions to the agenda please. Yes. I do have additions and deletions to the agenda this evening. Commissioner Wilk is unable to attend the meeting this evening therefore. I'm sorry Welch. Sorry. Commissioner Welch is unable to attend the meeting this evening. And therefore we will need to continue item 5A for 212 Cherry Avenue. We've received many public comments on this item so I'd like to just let attendees know and anyone who's sent in their public comments that they will be attached to the September 3rd agenda packet. And so this evening we would like to continue the 212 Cherry Avenue to the September 3rd Planning Commission hearing in two weeks. And the additions were the public comment that was received on that item. Okay. Well let me go back then to my introductory comments in accordance with the current shelter in place order orders. This Planning Commission is not physically open to the public. Limited staff are present in the commission chambers and Planning Commission is participating remotely by a video call. Members of the Planning Commission can use the reaction choices in Zoom to indicate they would like to speak similar to raising a hand. This meeting is cable cast live on Charter Communications cable TV channel 8 and is being recorded to be rebroadcast on the following Wednesday at 8am and on Saturday following the first rebroadcast at 1pm on Charter Channel 71 and Tomcast Channel 25. Meetings can also be viewed live from the city's website and with the Zoom meeting link also available on our website. Our technician tonight is Kingston. Public comment can be emailed or called into the Planning Commission. Members of the public may submit public comment once for each item by email or phone call. You may not submit more than one email or call per item. I think the procedure is on your screen but I'm going to review it anyway for the public to call in comments. Before the item you wish to comment on call the phone number and enter the meeting ID displayed. Press the hash key when prompted for a participant ID.  You will have up to three minutes to speak. If you are watching the meeting via Zoom you can use the participant option to raise your hand and make a comment when unmuted by our moderator. To email comments identify the item you wish to comment on in your email subject line. Email comments will be accepted starting now up until I announce that public comment for an item is closed. Each email comment will be read aloud for up to three minutes or displayed on a screen. Emails and calls received by outside received outside of the comment period outline will not be included in the record. As mentioned Commissioner Welch is unable to attend because he's assisting with the CZU Lightning complex fire response. Our county has been devastated by the fires that began this week. On behalf of the planning commission I want to express our sympathy to those in our community who have been evacuated from their homes and some who have even lost their homes as well as our appreciation and support for all the first responders and everyone else who has assisted with efforts to mitigate the impact of this disaster. So that takes us to oral communications and we already had additions and deletions to the agenda. So the next item is public comments. We'll take a minute or two to see if anyone wants to send in additional comments. And then Sean you can tell us if we've received any. There are any participants on the zoom meeting that would like to comment on something not on the agenda. This would be the time to raise your hand for items not on the agenda. Okay we'll move on then to commission comments. Do any of the commissioners have anything to offer at this point? I'd like to make a comment I guess. This is Commissioner Welch. Last time we had a director's report where it was mentioned that the palm trees on Clare Street were saved and a neighbor chose to recover them and move them on to their property in order to save those beautiful palm trees representing their queen palms. The reason I bring that up again is that we talked about the heritage tree program and redoing our tree ordinances and it would have been nice to be able to offer them the option of saying hey the city can help financially with you moving those trees if their heritage trees and if the city planning commission or whoever determined that those were valuable to the city that we could actually offer to help them financially in some way and to do that we needed a policy and so I know Katie's working on it it's not obviously the highest priority thing but I just wanted to continue to mention that that's something that's still hasn't been dropped we're thinking about it. Okay noted obviously the planning commission doesn't have any budgetary authority so we would best be able to make recommendations for the city council. Do we have any other staff comments or have we covered that already? No additional staff comments at this time. Okay so next item is the approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of Y-16-2020. Approve approval. Second.  Commissioner Will. Aye. Commissioner Ruth. Aye. And Chairman Newman. Aye. So that passes unanimously and then we go to the consent calendar. There is one item on the consent calendar which is a design permit for a first and second story addition to an existing non-conforming single family residence located within the R1 single family residential zoning district at 514 Escalona. Is there anyone of the commissioners or any member of the public that would like to have this pulled for a public hearing and we'll have to take a minute to see if anyone who was watching us would like to do that. Can you pull up the slide that gives instructions or contacting us if they'd like this item pulled from the agenda? Thank you. Not seeing any raised hands at this time. I know at least two of the attendees are here for the other project that was continued or will be. Okay. Let's give it just a few more seconds. Your clock is moving very fast today, Sean. Sean, the slide changed. I'm checking to see if we have any e-mail comments that are related to 514. Okay. No one seems to be interested in a public hearing on the only item on the consent calendar. Do we have a motion? Move approval. Second. Okay. Second. Okay. Okay. I'll call vote. Commissioner Wilk. Commissioner Ruth. Aye. And myself. Aye. So that passes unanimously. We only had one public hearing today, which do we want to formally continue this? Madam Planning Director. Yes, please. A formal continuance would be. And are we continuing to take a certain or two to be determined? Do I have a motion? We'll continue. Second. Okay. Commissioner Wilk. Aye. Commissioner Ruth. Aye. Myself. Aye. So that will be continued to September 3rd for those that are listening and are interested in that item. Presumably that meeting will again be by Zoom. The next item is a, the director's report. And we have discussion on planning application requirements for a color and materials board. So staff, please. Thank you, chair Newman and commissioners. Can you see my presentation? Okay. No. Now can you see my presentation? Okay. No. Yes. Okay. I'm sorry, but the, for some reason it's showing the sidebar, but we'll go from there. Okay. This evening's director's report, I have, I think five items to report to you on. And the last item will be the discussion on the materials and color board. I wanted to first give you a COVID-19, the temporary use permit update. These permits are permits for local businesses in which they would like to utilize outdoor space in order to meet social distancing requirements. They're available for free from the city and we're expediting them within 48 hours. We actually send our planner and building official out and help you identify a safe area in which you can relocate your business in order to have a safe setting due to COVID-19. At this time on a report that Sean and Matt have issued 23 permits. So it's been a successful program and a safe program. So you'll, you continue to see them pop up around town and they are free and expedited review. There is a link on our website under what's new. So we encourage any businesses out there to come on in and apply or not come in. Just know to just get in contact with us and we'll walk you through the process to line up an appointment and get that permit to you. Next we, two weeks ago, I put out the local coastal plan, the LCP, the updated zoning code draft for the LCP certification. There's a six week review period that's currently open. The draft is available also on the front page of the website under what's new. We're encouraging anyone with comments on that to look at it and send an email comments and there's links on our website to that as well. And that item will be coming back to the planning commission in October. City Council gave us all their direction on the zoning code update and we'll have, we've got track changes for you. And looking forward to bringing that back to you in October and then followed by City Council's adoption and then we'll submit to the coastal commission. So I think all items are to the point that the city feels comfortable with them and we'll get responses from the coastal commission. Not just the staff will be doing an official submittal. Next, right now we're working on our inclusionary housing ordinance that's chapter 18.2. The inclusionary housing ordinance is the ordinance that applies whenever we have larger developments with more than seven, with seven or more units that are required to build one inclusionary unit. It also applies to the in-loofies that are tied to any development that has, that builds an addition greater than 50% or a new single family home. The council will be reviewing at their meeting next week some policy items that have come up over the years and we're bringing that forward. We're expecting a grant from the HCD that will be applying to this update. I'll provide you with updates regularly on the policy direction that we get from City Council and keep you updated as this moves along. So our meeting next week, the City Council will be reviewing the policy discussions. I think the Planning Commission would find that staff report very interesting. It'll be published tomorrow. Question on that. You have a question? I have a question on that. Is there a reason that that didn't come to the Planning Commission? You know, it's the purview of the City Council, that chapter for any ordinance updates. So that is why, but I will keep you in the loop as they move through that. Question? Yes. So my feed broke up so I didn't even hear the question or the answer. Chair Newman asked, is there a reason why this did not come to the Planning Commission? And the reason for that is that it's the purview of the City Council chapter 18.2 to update. But I will be bringing you updates along the way of what direction they're giving staff and what modifications are going to be in place. Thank you. I will publish tomorrow and I think the Planning Commission, it's an informative document with quite a few policy questions that are being asked. And hopefully we'll get direction next week. Next, I was going to update you on the September 3rd Planning Commission meeting. There were no items, but we've just continued one item. Two-two cherry will be heard on September 3rd. Let you know there's two palm trees on cherry that were, there was an application and we've asked for an arborist report. We've not received that back from PG&E. We were thinking we'd have that in time for September 3rd, but at this time it's not looking like that's going to be the right date for it. So that will probably happen in October as well. I have a question on that. We hired PG&E to do the arborist report. We hired them to do, we didn't hire them. They, they have under the code, they can bring to us the, an arborist report making the findings for removal and then we'll review those findings. And next is a discussion on the colors and material board. Are there any questions for the previous five slides before we move on? I have a comment. Okay. Yeah, I'd like to express kudos to the planning department for being so nimble and proactive in response to the crises that we have been facing and rolling out the outdoor permits and those kinds of things so efficiently. So thank you. Yeah, I'll echo that Sean and Matt have done an unbelievable job of proactively calling out to businesses as things have come up and making sure people are aware of these permits and they've been well received. So the effort's gone a long way and it shows and much appreciated. I'll second it. Okay. So now we'll move on to our discussion of color and materials board. I, I have this picture on the screen because I'm not sure if you all know the butterfly house in Pacific Grove or the butterfly house in Carmel. I didn't actually know there was a butterfly house in Carmel until I tried to find a picture of the one in Pacific Grove and I thought the contrast of these two was interesting for our discussion tonight of colors and materials. That's what you're seeing the two butterfly houses. The top one is in Pacific Grove. The bottom one is in Carmel. They're different styles due to their colors and materials. The one item in our code is that talks about architecture and materials is consideration within our design permit standards. The planning commission has to consider relating to the architectural character, any development. And under there there's two criteria, the suitability of the building for its purpose and second consideration for the planning commission is the appropriate use of materials to ensure compatibility with the intent of the title. I just wanted to show you where the color materials board is listed. This is our requirements for planning applications. There's a second page that talks about stormwater requirements, but as you can see at the bottom it says colors and materials. There's no specificity explaining exactly what is required for a color materials board, but it's simply listed there. Next I'm going to give a few examples of color material boards that we've received for different projects. And then I'll let Commissioner Wilk had requested this discussion, so I'll let him lead the discussion if that's okay with Chair Newman. So here's one example of a materials board. This was for a sign application in the village and they were also repainting at the time so they brought in the details of the paint. They showed white acoustic paint, a trim and a zinc dust for the awnings, and then the sign material copper with natural patina. Next, a discussion. This is a single family home and they call out the fiber cement paneling on the second story, the one by horizontal wood siding on the first story and second story. This is a 10 feet tall open trellis and a stucco waistband at the base. So we typically see these as single family homes. And Sean and Matt pointed out that more and more, just a material and colors board, we're seeing more renderings come in that are to color and show the materials. And lastly, here's, well not last, this is another development of a home and as you can see the architect put the roof type up, roof type and showed the color. He shows the wood siding similar to existing and shows the new color or the color and then also labels that the new windows will be vinyl white. And then a different type of application for a conditional use permit for outdoor dining and display. This was at New Leaf a few years back. And here they showed us the boxes, the display cases that they were going to utilize, the types of chairs and tables, the pavers. We asked for the one area to be delineated from the typical pavement that was on the sidewalk and the wood lattice that they planned to use. So those are four different examples of color and material boards. And with that, I'll let you enter your discussion. So, Commissioner Wilk, I think you're the one that initiated this discussion. So maybe you want to take over here. Thank you, Chairman. I would like to make a few comments on this. And as was pointed out, the code doesn't call out color. It calls out a materials requirement. So I guess all I'm requesting is that on the plan verification at the bottom of the page, as was pointed, just strike the word color and have a materials board. So why do I care? Well, I think it's, I think it's an unnecessary requirement that can in fact be intimidating to an applicant. An applicant might be, you know, not sure what the heck they're up against when they go to the Planning Commission. They see that they have to submit the color of a house or a structure. And it's likely they're going to say, oh gosh, you care about color? I better pick something safe. So you end up with a beige house or a white house. And then they end up later saying, well, that's, you know, no one can object to that. So I don't know why we should put them through that hand wringing experience if it's not required. Now, this has been kind of an issue, something I'm following for a while. I'll go back to actually ask Rich Bruno back if you remember our previous director. And he said that there really wasn't a reason for requiring a color. As was pointed out, it was, it's not in the code, but it was, he just said it was customary. And so he was, he was just going to leave it in. And I was not a commissioner at the time, so I just obviously rolled with it. Clearly, well, and correct me if I'm wrong, Katie, but a person can repaint their house any color they wish without applying for a permit. So if the person has paints their house beige, then they really want purple like the one in. Well, like, all right, I guess they got through a two step process. The first one has to be approved. And then the second one, they get to do what they want. So as far as I know, there aren't elected officials who are hard over on this. I remember this coming up with former mayor and planning commissioner Ron Gray's as well as Stephanie Harlan and my recollection. They, they both didn't care about color either. I certainly don't care about color. There's no community standard on color. All right, you know, like I say, we've got a purple house here. We've got dragonflies painted on or at least used to be painted on a place in the jewel box. So there's, there's not a unit that would insist that, well, we want the appropriate capital of feel. And this is the color palette that belongs in capital. We don't, we don't have that. In fact, we have just the opposite. Brilliant rainbow of colored houses and colored building. So I just don't think that since no one cares since there's no community standard, why should we needlessly put a requirement and implied requirement on the applicant? Let's just delete that word color off the materials board. So that's what I think. Commissioner Ruth, any. Yeah, I absolutely don't think that's the direction we should be going, especially in dealing with commercial projects like the mall expansion or the hotel. We should be strengthening our design oversight, not weakening it. I think if we want to maintain the character of capital and protect our uniqueness, those are one of the tools we need to oversee design. We're going to lose the uniqueness if we continue going in the direction of weakening what few design controls we have. So I'm absolutely opposed to the change. And I think Mr. Wilkes arguments completely unfounded because he even admitted that there's multiple colors of buildings and houses and stuff in Capitola. So people aren't subjected to paint their house beige or brown or whatever he suggested, but it does give the planning commission and the council a perception of what the final product is going to look like. And for that reason, I don't think we should change it. Thank you. So this is an interesting item because we have a really nice difference of opinions here. I wasn't sure where Commissioner Wilkes was going to go with this, but listening to him. I was a little bit surprised because I agree only I even agree more as a 15 year planning commissioner. I've made it my policy basically to ignore the color boards and the material boards pretty much because for a number of reasons. One is I don't think I'm really that qualified to determine the aesthetics for other people. And I don't think those were the qualifications that had me appointed to the planning commission. Number two is I don't think that the planning commissioners as a whole are really the right persons to determine the aesthetics of in. I think that we should leave it to individual creativity and if if Capitola has a theme it's eclectic. It's just a mishmash of all kinds of things that's make makes it great. And if we have strict standards for planning commissioners to decide if they like the looks of the exterior looks of a color of a building. Probably the Venetian at least half the time if it came in for approval the Venetian courts wouldn't have been approved. So as an example and from my personal opinion, I think we should eliminate color as requested. And I think we should be very minimalistic in terms of even evaluating materials. There may be some other considerations for materials, but in general the aesthetics of a property are not in my view the main function of the planning commission. So I don't know where we're going to go with this. We've got three different opinions. Well, I think it's the job of the planning commission in one characterization to protect the uniqueness of our town. And if we let that ability go by not looking at any aspects of design, then I think we're not doing our job. I understand. I appreciate your position. I don't excuse me may speak please. Thank you. So I don't want to go as far as eliminating all design aspects. But the ordinance does say that you can review materials and you can review aesthetics, but it does not specify color and it seems like staff has just shoved the word color into their verification plan. And all I'm asking is that, I mean you can still review, well I guess you couldn't if the color palette isn't there. So all I'm asking is just to remove that one word and not to completely eliminate our design overview. But my question I guess is for Katie, is this something that we need to vote on? Is this we need a quorum to do that, I guess, which we don't have or yes, I guess we do have. So this is not an item you would need to vote on. I did want to just address one thing under our new code. We've really, under our design permit criteria, there was a lot of thought put into this for when larger projects do come in. There are enhanced visualization standards. So to Commissioner Ruth's point, if say a new hotel came in, you know, the mall project or any project in which we would like to see exactly what the color is. I do think it's important right now. The code does ask us to look at materials. So taking that out would be it. I wouldn't suggest that because it would mean that you wouldn't be able to evaluate the criteria you're supposed to evaluate. But in terms of color, if a project comes in and they're not showing color and it's something that would help in the decision making due to the mass and scale, sometimes color helps break up the overall look of a building. We can ask for that under the new design standards under the enhanced visualization requirement. So, and that can be asked for by myself or the planning commission and staff. So as far as procedure, since I agree with Commissioner Wilk's request here, we can, we could continue this to have a get the opinions the other two commissioners that might be valuable. And then is it basically a recommendation to the city council or? No, it would just be a modification to our application standards. Another idea that I've thought about is, is that we could add color is optional. It's not a requirement, but if you'd like to include color with your material board, we could put that on the application and kind of satisfy. Maybe what we should do is I think since this isn't a specific application that needs to be acted on tonight. And I think we've got a diversity of views here. It would be good to bring in the other two at the next meeting and maybe have some, some options to recommend that work for everyone. Well, I still don't get a understanding of what the procedure is. It sounds like Katie doesn't want to take direction from the planning commission. What I'm hearing is that you'd like to take out the word color, not materials, correct? That was that was all I suggest. So I'm saying that you, you can provide direction on that and we can change that on the application level. It's not a requirement under code. So there's no change to be taken to city council. And what I was also stating is that under our new code, once it's finally applicable citywide, there's the ability to ask for color renderings for any project in which you think it would be necessary and useful. So would it no longer be mandatory for commercial projects? Right now it's, it's on our list of application requirements, but taking off taking color off of the requirements that would no longer be mandatory. That's crazy for commercial projects. How do you, how do you visualize something like the mall expansion to the hotel without knowing the colors? Hello. Who are you directing that question to? Anyone that would attempt to answer it. I visualize the hotel or the mall expansion project without having a color palette. So my view of that is that when you're talking about the big items like the mall or the hotel, they're developers with tremendous economic investment in those projects with experts to advise them as to what is workable from a marketing standpoint. And I think that that's enough control over the aesthetics and that planning commissioners are not in a better position to make that call. But we live there. We live here and we have to live with the building the developer does it. Well, we can live here and we can also have old fashioned ideas, which could maybe be counterproductive. Point of clarification. So what I heard Katie say is that in the new ordinance, you could, you could leave the word color out. But as part of the discretionary review process, the planning commission could request color on a particular application be included. Is that correct? Within the application, there's a material. There's the requirements for the application. You could remove it from the application. There's no need to remove it from the code because color is not required by the code. Excuse me. What is the purpose of this? What do we gain by doing this? We lose some control over design aspect. We lose the visualization of certain projects. What do we gain? We gain the lack of the fact that we're no longer this big, older, intimidating applicants with a bunch of needless requirements. Well, Mr Wilkes, you know, I've been around the city now for 48 years and I've never seen any applicant be intimidated by the color palette. I was. Well, that's because you didn't follow your plan. I think what we gain is a little bit different. I think we, we don't restrict people's personal tastes and creativity. So I, again, I still don't understand a clear point of clarification. So again, I thought what I heard from Katie was that in the new code, let's assume that there's a color. There's no, there's no reference to color anywhere in the code or in the planning verification document or anything like that. But there is a some new discretionary portion where the planning commission could request a color, a color palette. Is that, is that what I heard you say or is that I'm making that up? That's what you heard me say. Can you see my screen right now with a C says enhanced visualization. So this is the application submittal and review for a design permit. And under C will be, you can ask for a streetscape illustration and see enhanced visualization. The city may require enhanced project visualization materials. For example, 3D renderings, photo simulations, physical models, expanded streetscape diagrams, viewpoint analysis, when any of the following apply and. So who would request that you or the planning commission? Either myself, staff or the planning commission. So the, this says if the project is proposed within a prominent or highly visible development site, as determined by the community development director. So that one, the mall for sure, as well as the future hotel site in the village. The second criteria is the project would be located within our adjacent to Vista points or visually sensitive areas as identified in the general plan. The applicant is requesting a variance in height. So when they request a variance in height, they should provide these substantial changes to the exterior of an existing structure, which is most applications that we see. And the community development director determines that enhanced visualization is necessary to determine if the findings for approval can be made for the project, proposed project. I don't think that addresses Commissioner Ruth's concern, which is if there's a mall or a commercial project or something that comes in without a color palette. We can say we need enhanced visualization. Please provide the color palette, which they may have in their hip pocket or maybe not. They may need to come back.  I think that's appropriate. And then, again, if we don't think it's detailed enough, we can go back and ask for color. And I would think that addresses Commissioner Ruth's concerns. It doesn't because if it's left up to the planning commission right now, there's two of you that don't want to see that. Well, that's the case in any vote, right? I mean, we may not. Perhaps the other commissioners will. Well, let me ask this. Can one individual planning commissioner request a color palette? So I don't read that section to require color specifically. No, not require. You get to request it. Well, it doesn't even, you may require enhanced project visualization materials rendering auto simulations. Can an individual planning commissioner request that? I would think they could. You can vote against the application. If they don't provide. Just for, just for example, if an application comes forward without any color included, no, no, no design extra materials whatsoever in that respect. Can I personally, as a planning commissioner request a color palette? Or does it take the whole planning commission? I would think in order to help me make my decision, I should be able to request that as an individual. Typically, if there were an application in front of you and you were to make the suggestion that you'd like additional materials, you'd have to have the support of the commissioners in a decision to continue an application. I'll go back to commission chair Newman suggestion that this be continued to the September hearing when all five commissioners are present for so every all commissioners can weigh in. Was that the direction you're. Yeah, I mean, I think it would be good because of the diversity of opinions here to have everyone participate in this. So do you ever hear Courtney's Courtney's opinion on this since she works for an architectural firm. Exactly. Okay, so can we just I don't think we need a motion since it's not a public hearing matter, but let's just, if everyone agrees by consensus, we'll put this back on the agenda on September 3. I agree. Yeah, that's good. Great. Okay. And any other commission or communications during time. Did we finish the director's report? We did. Thank you. Okay. Yeah, you had five items. That's right. We will adjourn to September 3. And thank you all. Good night. Thanks, David. Thank you.


The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This Is Your FBI. This Is Your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Presented transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. A brief word to you fathers and mothers who want to give your children every opportunity you can possibly provide to help them get ahead. Did you know that you can plan now years ahead to send your boy or girl through college? No matter what may happen to you? This plan is called the Equitable Education Fund. The painless way to pay for your boy or girl's college education. In about 12 minutes I'll give you the full details on this Equitable Education Fund. Be sure to listen carefully to this message from the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Tonight the subject of our FBI file, Subversive Activities. It's title, The Interrupted Journey. The Communist Party in the United States has issued a blueprint to certain high-ranking members. This blueprint describes the organization of Communist Party revolutionary activities in this country. One sentence in that document reads, and I quote, Every Communist must know that the Party has a historical mission to fulfill. The establishment of the new world, a Soviet America. End quote. We thus have a clear statement of purpose on the part of those whose efforts are dedicated to the destruction of the American way of life. The goal of Communism is total enslavement, and its program is directed against the nation in its entirety, against every one of you. Tonight's FBI file opens at an outdoor concert on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In a back row, a woman sits listening so attentively that she does not notice a man take the seat beside her. Emily! Huh? Oh, hello, Lord. Sorry to start again. Please. The music will have to wait. I can't. Got an appointment in town. I have a job for you. Oh, what is it? Contact Benola. When? Tomorrow. Tell him to print you a set of identification cards. All right. Which ones? Social security, driver's license, gasoline credit slip, and engineer's union card. Haven't made out in the name of William R. Young. Who's he? It's a name a friend of ours will adopt. Oh. He's coming to this country within the next month, so tell Benola to rush the cards through. So Mr. Young must be pretty important. Yeah. Very important. Intermission. Stay here. I'd rather walk out alone. Where do you want to make a delivery? My apartment. The following afternoon at the Philadelphia field office of your FBI, Special Agent Taylor approaches the desk of security supervisor, Paul Dawson. You send for me, Mr. Dawson? Yes, Taylor. Sit down. Thanks. We just got a report from the Pittsburgh office. One of their undercover men in the party is a printer named Panola. He was just told to print up identification papers for a William R. Young. It's a fictitious name. Oh. Panola reported they were for somebody coming into the country within the next 30 days. Coming in here? He doesn't know which port will be used, but it'll be on the eastern coast, so every office along the Atlantic's been alerted. No, I see. We don't know who this visitor really is, what he looks like, or when he's coming. All Panola could say is that he's very important to the party. Well, can Panola give us any more help? Yes, he's making a mistake in the name on one of the cards. Instead of R, he'll make the middle initial W. That's about all he can do without putting himself on a spot. And who gets the cards? They're being picked up by a woman named Emily Gray. Pittsburgh checked on her and sent us this memo. She's never been identified with party activities before. Now, we don't know why Young's coming, but if they're being this careful, it's probably on a big job. Yeah, sounds like it. Four freighters from Russia or her satellites are due in here this week, Taylor. I want you and Johnson to cover their arrival. All right, sir. If you need any more men, let me know. Thank you. We've got the cards. All four of them? Yes, right here. Fine. There any more news? About what? Who the cards are for. No, but I find out why he's coming. He's an expert at factory production methods. Oh, why send him here? Tour all through the country and stop off at factories where we've got friends. Show him how to slow down production without making himself look like saboteurs. Quite a job. Yeah. Better take your car to the garage and have him check everything. We're going someplace? Philadelphia. That's where we deliver the cards. To whom? I don't know. Let me get near Philadelphia. I have an emergency call. When do we leave? Tomorrow morning. Mr. Dawson, we've got pictures of everybody coming off that Russian freighter this morning. That's fine. Johnson's dropping him off to be developed now. Is he coming by here? Yes, sir. Good. We've got another report from the Pittsburgh office. Now, any more information on our visitor? No, but this woman Gray picked up the identification cards early this morning at Panola's. She went from there to an apartment. Visitor to a man named Lloyd Boone. He's a known member of the party. Mr. Dawson. Come in, Johnson. The lab will send those pictures up as soon as they're developed. Okay. Now, what happened to this man and woman? They left the apartment house a few minutes later. They got into the woman's car, headed toward the turnpike. Pittsburgh has two cars keeping the surveillance on them. They're traveling in a gray Ford sedan. Here's the license number. Thanks. Are they definitely headed here? We still don't know. But it's our job to pick up the surveillance of that car on the turnpike just west of Harrisburg. Taylor, you take car number one. Right. Johnson, we'll ride number two. Yes, sir. Take over from the Pittsburgh car in front of the Ford and we'll relieve the car that's trailing. What identity are we using? The two Pittsburgh cars are first base and shortstop. Your car will be center field. We'll be catcher. Got it. Let's go get the cars. On the baseline, 10 miles west of Harrisburg. Have you heard from shortstop? Yes, he was 30 miles out at 315. Is he in front of the Eagle? It was when I talked to him. I'll check and call you back. Right. Hello, shortstop. Center field. I'm 10 miles west of Harrisburg. Where are you? We'll move west in about a mile in front of the Eagle. I see a cut through. I'll make my turn and start heading east.  I'll call you as soon as I do. Hello, catcher. I could hear your end, but shortstop didn't come in too clear. Where is he? He's about two miles west. I'll relieve him around where we passed that emergency gas station. Good.  That's right. Wait a minute. I can see a car in my rear view mirror now just coming up over the hill. Might be him. Establish contact again and call back after you take over. Hello, shortstop. I see you, center field. The Eagle is a half mile in back of me. Base 55 miles an hour. They made any stop yet? That's the Eagle coming over the hill. Picking up the Eagle. Hello, catcher. Did you hear that? Yes, we got it all. When you hit Harrisburg, drop behind the Eagle and we'll pick up the front end. Right. I'll give you a position and pace every mile till we make the switch. Well, there's no doubt about where they're going now. It's Philadelphia. Yeah? Hello, catcher. Center field. There's no traffic to screen me from the Eagle, so I'm passing. Pace is 55. All right. Johnson, we'll drop back and pick up behind him. Are we going to blanket the Ford right into filling? I don't know yet. When we get close to town, I might call in and have two others take over. There goes Taylor. Can you see the Ford? Uh, yeah. There's two cars back. Moving up now. Don't fall too far back this time. Is this about right? Yes. Hello, center field. We've dropped back at the Eagle. Pace is still 55. Our mean same pace. Hey, Mr. Dawson, they're pulling over the inside lane. Hello, center field. The Eagle is slowing down. There's a roadhouse up ahead. Pull into the parking lot. Right. The Eagle just started flashing its right turn blinker. They should be coming in any second. Go on inside. Take your portable transmitter and keep in touch. Hello, catcher. I'm inside the roadhouse. The Eagle has just entered. He's at the counter now getting some change. He's heading for the form, boys. I'm going to take the one next to him. He's just coming into the next booth. He just left the booth. There's a pad on the wall in this one. Maybe he wrote down that address. I'm going into the next booth. There's a pad in here, too. Wait a minute. There are indentations on this top sheet. It might be the address for the party that he's meeting. Yes, I got it. 193 Madison Street. I'm going to the next booth. I'm going to the next booth. I'm going to the next booth. I'm going to the next booth. 193 Madison Street. We will return in just a moment to tonight's exciting case from the official file of your FBI. Now for a moment, let's listen in on a conversation that may be vitally important in the future success of a little boy named Billy Darrow who's celebrating his first birthday today. Billy's father has asked Fred Barton, his Equitable Society representative, to drop in to talk things over. Thanks for stopping by, Mr. Barton. I wanted to ask you about this college education insurance. You know, Billy's a year old today, and my wife and I thought this might be a good time to start. Well, if you start an Equitable Education Fund now, you can have Billy's education all paid for by the time he's ready to enter college. Well, that's what we figured out. What's more, if you should die any time between now and, say, 1968, Billy still gets the education you wanted to have. Billy's Equitable Education Fund becomes fully paid up. Until he's ready to go to college, Equitable holds the money for him and pays interest on the full amount. From the day this Equitable Plan goes into effect, Billy's college education is assured. Well, I'd really get a kick out of knowing that. Well, you understand what the Equitable Education Fund actually is, Mr. Darrow. You're saving up for Billy's college expenses in an endowment life insurance and spreading the cost over 16 or 17 years instead of taking a beating and having to make financial sacrifices during the four years he's in college. Well, the only question in my mind is, can I afford to buy it? Mr. Darrow, you'll be surprised how money grows when you keep on making regular payments for 15 or 16 years. Another thing, by starting now when Billy is still so young, you can spread out your payments over more years and pay less in each individual year. Let's say you decide on a $4,000 Equitable Education Fund. Have you raised other funds? If you have children of your own, why not get the cost of an Equitable Education Fund from your Equitable Representative? These Equitable Men don't go in for high pressure methods. They give you the information you need and let you make up your own mind. Get in touch with your Equitable Representative soon or right care of this station to the Equitable Society. That's C-Q-U-I-T-A-B-R-E. The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. And I'm back to the FBI file. The Interrupted Journey. In connection with tonight's case, we bring you a message from Director J. Edgar Hoover. Mr. Hoover says, and I quote, Your FBI asks each of you to report all information you may possess which relates to espionage, sabotage, or subversive activities. However, the protection of the nation's internal security is a two-fold responsibility. It must not only safeguard our secrets, but it must also guarantee the continuation of the civil liberties of every citizen. Please do not attempt to conduct your own investigation. Please do not engage in malicious gossip or idle rumor about any person's political activities. Vigilante action and witch hunts only contribute to hysteria. By making your information available to your FBI without attempts at evaluation or an effort to draw your own conclusions, you will not only be safeguarding the rights of the innocent, you will be making your own contribution to the nation's general security program. Remember, if you have any suspicions about espionage, sabotage, or subversive activity, do not investigate on your own. I repeat, do not investigate on your own. Please look at page one of your local directory and call the nearest field office of your FBI. We need no secret weapons to uproot communism in this country, nor any illegal activities on the part of our citizens. This constitutional republic has stood the test of time. If we all do our jobs calmly and seamlessly, it will continue to stand. Tonight's file continues at the Philadelphia field office, later that evening. Mr. Dawson? Yes, Taylor? That address Lloyd Boone wrote down turned out to be a toy shop. The number he called is the shops and the places owned by the Mr. Walker that he spoke to. You checked on him? Yes, sir. He's 53 years old, born in Cleveland, came to Philadelphia as a child with his parents. He's owned the toy shop for five years. He has a bad credit rating, suspected of belonging to the party since 1941. I see. Johnson reported in on Boone and Emily Gray. They checked into the hotel's sentry. They met for dinner a few minutes ago in the coffee shop. I'll send Hopkins over to relieve him. Oh, and I called the Port authorities. They say two freighters are doing tomorrow from satellite nations. I'll have photographers at the pier. Miller and Reed can cover the first one. Hoffman and Riley can get pictures of the other crew. I've got Adams keeping a surveillance on Walker. I can relieve Adams in the morning, if you like. No, I've got another job for you. There'll be a truckload of empty barrels delivered to the garage at 7.30 a.m., bore a peephole in one of the barrels. All right, sir. Take a walkie-talkie and a movie camera with you. Once you're set, the truck will be driven to Madison Street and parked in front of the toy shop. I want pictures of everyone going in or out of the shop. This is the place, Lloyd. Yes. Good morning. Can I show you something? Nice to see Mr. Walker. I'm Mr. Walker. Lloyd Boone. Oh, hello. How are you? And this is Miss Gray. How do you do? How do you do? Did you bring the package? They're all in here. It's good. Have you heard from Mr. Young? Not yet. I'd like to meet him. Maybe we can arrange it before he starts his trip. Wait. This card is made out wrong. The name on it is William W. Young. The others are William R. That's right. Yes. Maybe we can change it right here. No, no, no. He has to show his union card at every factory. When does he get here? Today. You'd better call your contact in Pittsburgh. Have him print another card.  This will be Young's address while he's here. Mail him the card the minute he comes off the press. Field calling catcher. Center field calling catcher. This is catcher. I'm on my third roll of film. Yes, he came early. He stayed a few minutes and flew away. I didn't recognize any.  How soon do you want to start comparing them with the ones that I've taken here? I'm trying to get it. Now the desk she had to get on the first plane. Maybe something's about to pop. Can I show you something? Yes, I'd like to buy a dollhouse for my little girl. Any special color? Red. Hello. I'm Walker. I'm glad to meet you. How was your trip? Not good, not bad. Have you got my papers? Everything but the engineer's union card. They made a mistake on that one, so you'll have to wait while they print a duplicate. How long? A day or two. I'll come back for it. You don't have to. It'll be mailed to you at this address. You've got an apartment there. As William R. Young? Yes. Here are the cards that turned out right. And here are the keys to the apartment. Thanks. You'll find clothes, money, and everything else you need. Don't get in touch with me again unless there's trouble. That's the end of reel two. Is reel three on the other projector? Yes, sir. Let's see it, please. I checked on those two freighters that came in yesterday. What's the story? They're due to load up tomorrow and then sail. What time? Six and six thirty tomorrow night. You heard from Pittsburgh? Yes. Lloyd Boone got back there. He and the girl? Have any more meetings? Not unless it was by phone. We're ready to roll. Go ahead. Now there, that's Walker approaching the entrance after lunch. Business was kind of slow. So I see. This couple here bought a boat. His face doesn't look familiar. There's another shot of the couple coming out. Nobody entered or left the shop for the next twenty minutes. And I started the camera again as this man came to... Stop the film. Go back to that frame with the man's full face toward the camera. Right. You look familiar. No. Taylor, you take this pile of pictures. They're the crew with the freighter arm. Is this the shot you meant? Yes. Let's see the stack here. I got it. This is him. He's off the freighter bosporus. Taylor, you and Johnson find out who he is. Here's the idea on that sailor, Mr. Dawson. Who is he? His real name is Arath. He's the first mate on the bosporus. Didn't show to sleep aboard the ship either night. Wasn't on hand today when loading started. He hasn't shown up at the toy shop either. How about Walker's home? No. We've had a surveillance there. He could be any place in the country by now. I'm afraid so. How about sending out an I.O.? Washington wants us to wait till the bosporus leaves tonight so we can be sure he's jumping ship. Oh, I see. That's about all we can do. Till that boat leaves without him, he hasn't shown evidence of going through with a conspiracy. Well, Mr. Dawson. Come in, Johnson. This teletype just came in for you. Thanks. From Pittsburgh. Panola reports mistake made in William Young's engineer's union card discovered. He printed new card, delivered today to Emily Gray. She sent airmail to Philadelphia this afternoon. No idea what address in Philadelphia. Well, that means he's probably still here. Mm-hmm. Panola also reports learning from Emily Gray reason for visit. Alias William R. Young is expert slowing down production lines. No wonder he wanted the union card. Yes. If that card was airmailed from Pittsburgh this afternoon, it'll either be delivered special delivery tonight or regular delivery tomorrow morning. How about supplying every postman with Young's picture? There isn't time. We'll just have to cover every terminal in the city. You two take the broad street station and check back every hour. No word yet at the office on Young. Anything on Walker? No. When the shop closed, he went right home. The bosporus held up sailing till an hour ago. They finally pulled up with Young absent. They held up sailing, huh? Surprise? Yeah, kind of. That must mean they didn't know Young was jumping ship. Well, what difference does that make? Oh, non-raily, but if they weren't told, it must mean this was a well-guarded secret shared only by those in on the actual assembly.  Ah, there's another train that Young isn't catching. Uh-huh. Wait a minute, Rudy. Look. Hey, that's him. Yep, he's running for that train. He might catch it. Better make sure he doesn't. Wait a minute. No, you don't. I've got a ticket for that train. We've got a warrant that will keep you here. Soon, Howard Walker, Emily Gray, and the man who called himself William Young were convicted of conspiracy to violate the federal sabotage statutes after trial in a federal court. The arrest of the three men and the girl in tonight's case may possibly lead some people to ask why every known communist and communist sympathizer isn't taken into custody and thrown into jail. That is not the American idea of justice. And in these matters of internal security, your FBI has a firm policy. That policy states that the bureau will arrest only those committing overt acts by taking part of preaching or practicing doctrines leading to the overthrow of the government by force. There will be no wholesale arrests inspired by mass or individual hysteria. No roundup of thousands for the sake of making headlines. However, anyone who violates any laws over which your FBI has jurisdiction, be he communist or not, can expect action from the men of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For in their oath of office, these men promise to uphold and defend the Constitution, a promise they have always kept and will continue to keep. Our quick review of the advantages of an equitable education fund. First, it's the painless way to pay for a college education. You've read the cost over many years instead of taking a beating in four. Second, it's sure.  So why delay?  Or write care of this station to the Equitable Life Assurance Society.

Today we're thinking about home visits. So when people from school visit children or the family at home I'm thinking about why it might be a good idea and if you're thinking about it What will enable you to kind of make it work? So drawing on ideas from many different schools that I've been working with Now home visits is something that's come up more and more in my course recently with schools when I'm doing my coaching conversations And it's something that many schools have said they found really impactful This has been particularly helpful where they've had families which are struggling to engage with school Where there are children who are finding it hard to attend perhaps due to anxiety and that kind of thing And where essentially it's really important to build some bridges between home and school Now one of the great things about visiting a student and a family in their home Is that it really helps you to begin to build those bridges and create those connections between home and school And when we expect people to come in that can feel really hard for them And it can feel really challenging. Sometimes there's a lot of fear around school both for the children and for the adults as well Sometimes so we can think instead about visiting them in their home or perhaps somewhere else It's kind of neutral territory and this will feel kind of less scary for them The other benefit of visiting a family's home is that you learn a huge amount really really quickly about that family Often people would interact more naturally when they're in their own environment rather than when they've come into school And also you just can get a feel for things And there will often be things that you notice and you learn about the child and their family from being in their home That can really help to strengthen and build those connections with the child and with the family It adds a real sort of personal touch and also when you're willing to invest that time and resource into visiting the family at home And it says a lot about the fact that you kind of really value that family that they really matter that you Really want to work together in terms of making it work. Of course. This is a massive resourcing issue It's really difficult to find enough time for someone to go and visit a child a family in their home So it's not something you're going to be able to do really frequently and for everybody But what I would say is from the schools. I've been working with who've been practicing this They found that if they're picking up on the early warning signs that a family is beginning to disengage A child's beginning to find it difficult to attend or things are beginning to change for that family That sometimes investing a bit of time here early on holding those meetings at home And really trying to get the family on board can stop that child dipping into an entire kind of cycle of non attendance It can make a difference if we intervene early. So it's like, you know, like my grandma always taught me a stitch in time saves nine So that investment of resource early perhaps prevents things escalating You need to think really carefully as well about who is going to visit the children's home Because again thinking about this can make a really big difference A in terms of who can you spare to go and do those visits? So lots of schools that I work with will have learning support staff Or family workers or people like that who will go and make these kind of visits The other thing is that apart from being able to free those staff up You want to think about who's really well placed to actually connect with and build those bridges with that family Who is that family most likely to kind of welcome into their home? And a really good to think about here is think about who is most like the family that you're visiting Do you have staff who share the same sort of cultural ethnic background? Do you have people who speak the same language if there's any kind of language barrier? Thinking about those things can make a really big difference And if you're able to identify a member of staff who feels less threatening Who's more able to communicate with that family who perhaps they might have already built a bit of a relationship with as well They're more likely to be welcomed into the home and this is more likely to be a successful visit The other thing that I think really helps to make this work is having a really clear focus for what you're hoping to get out of these home visits And to make that focus clear both within the staff at school and with the family as well Let them know why you're coming because again all these interactions with school can be quite frightening For families who don't know what's going on and you can be seen as an authority and they might worry they're in trouble It's really important to remember here that we are a genuine team around the child And it's the child's best interest that motivate all of us adults here together, we're all on one team So trying really hard to address that us and them thing and remember that we're in this together We want to work with them and you might as part of that visit think about what are your next steps What do you hope to happen as a result of this meeting and how can you further support What can the family expect from you but also what are you expecting from them because this is a real sort of team effort So have really clear goals, don't aim too high, I generally find with this kind of thing It's better to have small but achievable aims that we can celebrate and then look to move on So do this incrementally rather than aiming up here somewhere with the possibility that then this might fail And we might find that people kind of somewhat give up, we want to set goals that we can achieve and celebrate I'd really love to hear from you about whether you're conducting home visits, whether they work for you And what are the things that you find that you have to bear in mind to make this work, to make it financially viable To make it a good use of resource, to make sure that it's acceptable to families Leave your comments down below remembering loads of different people watch these videos And actually when you comment sharing your experience of what's worked and maybe also what hasn't It's really valuable to other people so do take a moment to comment with your experience I hope this was helpful, remember to subscribe, hit the subscribe button if you haven't already For new videos every Tuesday and Friday And if you've got ideas for future videos please leave them in a comment, take care, bye


Hello, hello Defcon So, yeah This is fear-uncertainty the digital armageddon.  I hack Skada networks critical infrastructure. I work for a firm called security assessment comm from New Zealand So I'm gonna go over What Skada is why it's really hip right now and then talk a bit about hacking it I'm not gonna talk about low-level protocols like Modbus But if you guys were like Mike Bristow's talk before then you would have got a pretty in-depth run over that anyway Sorry better all right so There's a tendency by the media to refer to like all industrial control systems of Skada What I'm primarily concerned with is power water Critical infrastructure mass manufacturing that sort of thing Now the risk in these environments is largely defined by the threat right like we're talking Power blackouts dams opening all that sort of bad stuff Probably not global thermonuclear war, but you know, we have had some you know stuff like this big explosions and whatnot These are from an accident that actually happened in Bellingham, Washington Now this was a hundred and thirty seven or two hundred and thirty seven thousand gallons of gasoline that caught fire on a Creek killed a couple of people and caused a lot of property damage This was actually an accident, but what was a really big firewall you could see from Canada So it wasn't a small explosion the largest non nuclear explosion in the world was actually a result of a Skada accident or scab sabotage depending on who you believe that apparently happened in Russia There's the largest gas pipeline explosion ever There's been a bunch of Skada incidents which have been reasonably well publicized over the years Russian hackers taking over gas pipelines guy called Vidic Bowden in Australia dumping sewerage into drinking water real jerk there There's been a lot of press recently about maybe al-qaeda is going to perform Skada attacks Chinese hackers are getting all up in the Skada You know everyone's having a go Now I think we're more worried about this than we used to be just because Hacking's a lot easier than it used to be like hacking used to be about quite skilled dudes Performing quite quite trivial attacks and kind of coming up with it themselves Now because of the rise of like exploitation platforms and Ode packs and that sort of thing You can get other people to do all the work for you and offset time and skill with money So you can just buy yourself a Russian Ode pack and you know, you're off to be a bad guy Now the digital Armageddon obviously hasn't happened yet, but Without hype there's no story right so it does behoove the media to you know Do sit up a bit and get people people worked up I mean despite this you get like you know the blaster didn't cause the East Coast power outage Everyone those stories of teenage hackers get pretty overblown and our Chinese hackers get blamed for everything these days Like kicking your dog taking your girlfriend, you know a Lot of the dire predictions so far also have been quite incorrect IDC named 2003 a year of cyberterrorism said the internet would crumble obviously didn't happen, you know So before we progress I'm going to explain a little bit about what a scarter system actually is and then we'll get to the good stuff The pop shots the owning so forth so Scarter system is basically generally a spread out geographically remote set of systems That are controlled by a central computer at the edges you've got remote terminal units of the older programmable logic controllers and they do the grunt work of a Scarter network are control mechanical devices pumps switches valves that sort of thing monitor levels This is an example from a water treatment plant So you've got you know the PLC's here and they measure flow according to set points to set by a human at the other end This is I've got quite a collection of scarter porn if people want to look at it with me afterwards So there's a master station and that takes information from PLC's and RTU's and converts it into a more human readable format for use in an HMI Which is something like that generally a point and click your way to controlling a scarter network as you can see here, this is for our Industrial food tip you can control heat pressure all sorts of good stuff The communications layer of a scarter network as Traditionally a mix of radio and direct zero connections protocol called RS485 which is multi-point serial used to transfer Modbus another low level scarter protocols These days we are actually moving to a brave new interconnected world where we want everything to run over IP from toasters to fridges and so We've got standards like open Modbus DNP3 these all run over IP networks and there's an open app architecture which allows people to use multiple vendors products So Historically we could describe scarter networks as quite primitive and they ran off proprietary hardware and you need you know closed-source manuals and so as such true or false They were considered to be immune to outside threats these days in our brave new interconnected world Everything is connected to the corporate land for reasons of monitoring alerting producing those graphs that managers know and love so much and Unfortunately modern stuff is susceptible to relatively Modern or not so modern threats, so you've got you know old old school But still new school for scarter network types of attacks basically work So the core guys have been beating pretty savagely on scarter recently and Wonderware, which is a vendor. We'll see a bit later as well. They're a really big vendor and Core found sending a Melbourne packet to a random TCP port caused a crash in the software. I mean this is you know pretty old school stuff What's interesting if you read the notes is that They sent the vendor proof-of-concept code and python wonder where asked for compiler tools to run python Courses go to python.org. I mean this is while while companies like Microsoft and Cisco and so forth used to doing the vulnerability dance big Scarter vendors still aren't and it still don't really had that sort of relationship with the security community This is another one found by core Again, it's like canonical stack overflow Improper length checking long buffer. I said, you know sort of same bug different app. It's you know There's a lot of research being published on at the moment. These are some of the favorite talks that I've read recently It's it's a hot topic because the possible ramifications of a scarter compromise could be pretty big as we're seeing and In the media, I think in the public mind cyber terrorism is like the new chemical warfare like chemical warfare was in the 80s We're really really afraid of it and a lot of people don't understand it That and scarter scarter is changing from as I said proprietary obscure isolated and theoretically immune to attack towards standard documented and connected systems So what that basically means is that you can you can test or hack scarter systems with a lot of the knowledge you already have I mean, you saw Mark Bristow before Really great accustomed tool mod scan is a sully fuzzer out there It's sweet if you know low level protocols like those guys, but you don't actually need to If you've got good knowledge of wireless good common systems knowledge void so on and so forth You can get quite a long way And if you're prepared to be intelligent about your intel gathering techniques and go a bit old school Then you can actually find this quite easy so Old school is good school. I'm going to talk about some stuff. I imagine everyone here knows If you don't know much about radio scanning, there is a wealth of knowledge online like radio geeks really like writing stuff down There's a protocol called pock pock sag Which is used for pager messages Now a lot of scarter alerts are sent via pager over radio link This is because sending really critical messages over IP networks isn't a great idea You know one carrier has a problem. You don't get your message for a couple of hours of it all blah blah blah So pager network is dependable reliable. Unfortunately goes over a clear text link So that means anyone with really cheap info cheap gear Can can read it now. This is a really cheap and nasty scanner. I've got a better one But this was 250 NZD that an electronics store across the road for my house so What what do I actually get from cheap and nasty gear like this? well In this particular slide We can see what the state of the system is we can see they've got some issues here, right? There's a strong smell of open sewer mod buses offline We keep going through the conversation and rather nicely. It tells us what sort of cysts are software They're using the using the software called start alarm, which is another one to wear product Rather usefully again now. I've scrubbed these because I checked before the talk and these numbers are still good But rather usefully they provide you with dial-in numbers and a legitimate fault ID so What what does that give us now you Google for start alarm that here's here's the pimping It's a alarm event notification software blah blah blah blah users can listen to an acknowledged alarms and ah Operate equipment via telephone from remote locations saving valuable time and money and effort for your lazy hacker so I Huh breaks down like this. It's an IVR control system for a scar to network You dial in you provide the ID and then you can punch button your way through scar to control now Authentication now it says on the Wonderware site wonder where is all up on the security Unfortunately, that means sick authors done via caller ID and that's actually disabled by default, but Modern void techniques make ID spoofing reasonably trivial to bypass this So what else can we find by that like so if you were dialing and I'm presuming everyone should be really well up on that There's a bunch of free tools to do this. That's I war. This is how do IVR, which is better provides paralyzed Void warding so you can chop through really big number blocks used to take you three four days and a couple of hours listen to the records later and Yeah, unorthed access to heat computers and so forth All right, people really don't audit their phone lines properly. So Thinking a bit about starter hacking for the practical security consultant We had a job a little while ago like a lot of companies have a really tight-knit presence these days, right? so you look at their website their mail all that sort of stuff, which is traditional and you know It's it was pretty tight, but um We we we tried to walk onsite and they were all like ID badge this please leave that which you know didn't work very well We looked at their wireless WPA to that was quite good Sort of getting a bit disheartened and then thought well, this is a starter network, right? These guys are geographically spread out across the whole country. They got a lot of sites Let's start driving around and have a look at it. So we drove out into the middle of nowhere and We um, we found a remote site which had big-ass electric fence security guard look quite intimidating And we were wondering what we could do. So we had a look at the wireless now We managed to crack the wireless we managed to get onto the corporate network Which was chewy and soft on the inside and had very poor architecture the scarter network is actually plugged directly into it So after we'd own the domain controller, we were able to own the scarter network now These guys looked really good from the outside It was basically the fact that they had so many sites that it was really difficult for them to make sure that everything was Adhere to corporate policy patch new tech and so on so forth now You've been looking at this picture of the bushes for you know 30 seconds now And you guys probably haven't seen the pertinent fact which is down here And what that is is there's a dude in the bushes with a big-ass parabolic dish right and so I mean That's the thing is they had security guards and electric fences and so forth But it availed them little to a long-haired hippie with Linux and you know so and you know ownage right so as I said like It's kind of it's it's a slightly different ball game when you're trying to hack scarter networks. These guys also had We're hackable via dial-in lines. They've actually still had default passwords on on their scarter software so the conclusions we can draw from this is that There's actually numerous connections to scarter networks. It used to be believed that they're isolated But you've got dial-in networks radio wireless land connections, etc. Etc. Now the real problem with this is that these networks are insecure by design because they're anonymous They don't have users on them. So passwords a simple default never changed all the protocols are clear text Normal corporate policies regarding user management password rotation, etc. don't apply so even if The corporates care about security and have policy guys that write big docs chances are they're not being applied to You can scarter systems are rarely patched most vendors have an escalator provide one patch a year if that So this leads to a really large phone window generally what you do is you install your install your scarter system and walk away And just replace it when it's out of date. So as you can see like a really different model to traditional IT networks You know at the lifetime of the gear is a lot longer really patched Citra, etc. There's some good things happening in scarter security new standards excellent practical guides, etc. Etc. But you really need to conduct physical site surveys stuff like that because you know the guy in the bushes Lockpicking is actually pretty trivial And and as I said scarter networks are really spread out So this Mike Bristol said you gain access to the wire you can use as tool pretty much on anything Lockpicking is pretty easy, especially when it comes to Asset owners because they have lots of stuff to secure so they buy really shitty locks You can shim padlocks really easily if you don't believe me go the lockpick village I saw deviant olem shim a padlock with a piece of paper. I mean, yeah, I've seen I've seen scarter vendors use Wireless security cameras throughout there, which is really stupid because it's pretty easy to DOS wireless Like here's here's a site where they had a big-ass electric fence, but it was protected by a lock That was that shitty. I mean it doesn't matter if you spent like 20,000 bucks on your your massive electric fence if you're using a $5 lock and just leads to long hairs up in your Scarter like it's yeah, not a good plan so basically a lot of scarter stuff these days it does have you know more security features than it used to Where all the security all the scarter systems had none, but as is common You know a lot of this stuff is turned off by default So it's a good idea to you know ordered all that sort of stuff make sure it's implemented now You know surfing Scarter message boards like we're asset owners get together to bitch about scarter security I thought this was the best thing I've seen where this guy's like yes The threat from red teams foreign governments, etc. Is real, but seriously I can't deal with it It's not my problem. I can't deal with you know, I don't have government style Security software I don't have guards with submachine guns and flatjackets and I pay taxes and I'm actually worried about providing water Sanitation services or whatever so through you guys, but you know it's fair enough So here's here's another job. I did actually where we basically it's a difficult problem securing scarter networks because people frequently admin security gear from the corporate side of their network and so Basically, it means that if you compromise the business side of the network then you will own scarter without particularly sophisticated attacks Largely because if you own the side of the network that admins the firewalls you can just change them so We were at a customer site and they took a really long time to actually get to us and we were sitting in their lobby So we got pissed off noticed there was a jack there plugged into the wall and found that it was live Which gave us access to the corporate internal now we managed to own the internet server because they had insecure file upload dialogues Password reuse gave us the domain controller and that gave us arbitrary desktops now What we actually owned was not an IT file server. It was just a dude's share who had two gig of documentation Now we've been banging our heads against this firewall for quite a long time because it was guarding the scarter network These guys actually had pretty good architecture and it was pretty annoying. We couldn't get to the scarter However, two gig of documentation meant that we actually had their firewall configs and their passwords in cleartext And so what that meant was we now own the firewall and all their switches and routers which meant well We own the corporate network. We own the firewall. So let's just change the firewall rules and Booyah, we own the scarter network now because users are stupid and reuse passwords anyone whose password is Password one is probably going to reuse it on the other side to Passwords are the same on the scouting domain controller and we own that and there we go, right? so You know just just for extra bonus points We also realized that they were being stupid with their boy and using the same phone system on both sides of the network, too So I think I'm running out of time since summation It's a really good idea not to rely on your scarter networks being secure because you think they're difficult or esoteric or strange It's not going to work Basically, we need to lean on scarter vendors to be more open about the nature of the back doors They have to admin systems and demand that they provide systems that can be secured Now I've been thinking a bit about who's going to make money out of this all the fear uncertainty and doubt going around and it's It's not the it's not the pen testers. It's it's not even the scarter vendors It's actually the usual security players, right? You've got people like checkpoint for to gate etc. We're going to start selling magic bullet solutions and already have so sort of beware Snake oil and that sort of thing that's going to start going around So while I think that a lot of the fear mongering these days is pretty crazy This is an issue that really needs attention and we we need to look at it with sort of skeptical critical But you know recently open eyes and realize it's something that scarter asset owners can't do on their own We can't just yell at them to be more secure there needs to be pressure put on Guys like wonderware who don't understand the security dance at all to actually you know sort of step up. So that's me. Thanks a lot


All right, good morning, everyone. It was supposed to rain today. It didn't. So it's a beautiful day here in Arizona. I'm glad some of you could make it from out of town. I want to welcome you to our second updates in Emily Dosa CME of 2024. I'm Sunday Stave from Arizona State University, Southern Arizona VA. I want to thank our steering committee, Dr. Chris Vijay, Julie Rosenthal, Michael Castro, Janice Guzman, Eileen Spangler, and April Johnson for making this happen. These are my disclosures. And thanks to ACC Arizona, Institute for Future Health, my colleagues, all the faculty, moderators and panelists, ASU team, and Healer River Resorts and our volunteers. I want to thank our event sponsor, AstraZeneca, Coffee Break sponsor, BridgeBio, and lunch sponsor, El Nailam. We also received continuing medical education grants from AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and El Nailam. We are offering six hours of CME credit, and I just want to talk for two minutes about the significance of Emilie Dosis, the highlights of the past year, the treatment pipeline and knowledge gaps. So it's really exciting that Emilie Dosis is now part of the heart failure guidelines. And I think this figure, this is in their guidelines, and I think it's sort of straightforward and also complicated at the same time. And on the right side, you can see all the different professionals that are involved in the care of these patients. And you can see that there's really a lot of different professionals from different disciplines. And the knowledge in this space is increasing on so many directions, from clinical symptoms, ECG, biomarkers, imaging, MRI, nuclear scintigraphy. It's hard for any person to keep track of all the developments in this field. And why are we here? I think there's different ways to look at this question, and you'll hear a lot about that today. I think one way to look at it is that this, these authors looked at their patients with cardiac amyloidosis, 317 patients. And they looked to see how many of them would have qualified for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction clinical trials. And depending on the clinical trial of the different, eight different trials, between 16 and 65% of patients would have been entered into those trials or eligible for those trials. And the point they're trying to make is that one of the reasons why we haven't had progress in heart failure with preserved EF therapies is because many amyloidosis patients may have been sort of mixed in that population. And as a result, these therapies were not effective. But the point I'm trying to make is that this is really a paradigm shift in cardiology. And we need to be thinking about this disease irrespective of whether or not we're treating amyloid or we're treating heart failure. So what have we accomplished in 2023? So we had our first event and Matt Mauer was a great speaker to come in and kick off this. And we had multidisciplinary speakers from Tucson and the Phoenix area as we do this year. We, I think we're beginning to create an amyloid informed community across medical centers and providers. And we did achieve some new insights on the system of care to support these patients through holding a focus group. And we had diverse attendees from different disciplines beyond cardiology, including internal medicine and geriatric. And we confirmed the need for amyloid related education in the space. We also held a debate in August. And the topic was all adults 65 years and older with heart failure should be screened with amyloidosis, or screened for cardiac amyloidosis. And we had two geriatricians as part of those speakers. And post event, some of the participants working on how to advance shared decision making in the space. We also held another debate. All African American adults should be offered TTR genomic screening. And internal medicine residents have taken up the call to try to summarize evidence in this area. And we had the benefit of having skilled genetic counselors help do that discussion. What's on deck for this year? I think that we're sort of moving beyond the idea of just cardiac amyloidosis. It's really amyloidosis. It's beyond the heart. And we have new and returning faculty covering all aspects of ATTR. We'll have a case presentation today at 4pm with ACC Arizona. And we have some new topics on quality improvement, shared decision making and informatics. There's also an implementation focus. We'll be holding a panel discussion on barriers and opportunities in polyneuropathy. We have a great diverse group of institutions represented. We have clinicians from the community, VA, Mayo, Arizona, Banner Tucson, Banner Phoenix, City of Hope, Honor Health, Abrazo, Dignity and Industry. We have various specialties represented. We have pathology, neurology, hematology, internal medicine, cardiology, geriatrics, informatics and genetic counseling. And we have incorporating residents and fellows into this year's program. So, you know, there's a lot coming. There's a lot we'll be processing in the future. These are the therapies that were approved in the past and there are many that are in process with a phase three clinical trials and potential regulatory approvals as well. So, there's many knowledge gaps and care gaps and I hope that we can start to talk more about these. We don't really know how often ATTR occurs and in whom. We don't really know the outcomes in real world settings. We don't really know how to identify these patients or maybe we have some inkling. How we're gonna incorporate emerging technologies to enhance this? How can we make diagnosis easier and more cost effective? Why are patients not receiving timely care? Where is their excess variation? How can we prevent false positives and false negatives? Can we develop strategies to improve early diagnosis? Which treatment is better? How can we maximize value? And what are the barriers and opportunities in amyloidosis care? One question that I think we should think about today is are we ready for broad ATTR screening? Given the propensity of this disease in older adults with heart failure? And how will clinicians adopt AI into their workflow? There are many developments that are happening. How are we actually gonna use these technologies? So, I hope you enjoy the event today and let's get into it. I wanna introduce Dr. Jof Zhao from Honor Health and Dr. Chris Vijay from Mutated Arizona and ASU. So, please take over.


Oh Yo, I need a haircut follow me All right, so I got to get my haircut in Chinatown now shout out to these old-school barbershops They're really doing their thing and I really recommend you guys check those out as starter barbershops, but I'm going to 12-pell So you guys might have heard a 12-pell maybe through you know social media or something like that But they essentially specialize in fades tapers kind of the Kevin win You know, I guess haircuts but also the k-pop style now the style that I'm gonna be getting today is a little bit of a mixture But anyways, it's my favorite barbershop. It's where I go We're gonna hopefully talk to the barbers Understand what it's like to be an Asian barber and also hopefully we'll catch the owner of 12-pell and I'll talk to him But let's go. All right, so I'm here with Marco Marco. This is actually your first time cutting my hair I've been cut by other barbers at 12-pell, but uh, I guess like Man, what do you see about my head? Because does it how much does it matter like head shapes and stuff like this when it comes to haircuts? It matters a good amount for Asian hair just cuz I mean if your face is too round it looks very eggy So we pretty much try to balance everything out make everything look more symmetrical. Okay, your head She seems kind of long so probably nothing like super tight Otherwise, it's gonna look very skinny and very narrow if you go anything too But don't I want my head to look skinny or no To a certain extent otherwise, I mean Yes, but if it's like too skinny, it's gonna look kind of It's kind of better if it's more balanced nothing too high either otherwise the same thing gets very long Nothing too short nothing too poofy, and you should be good. All right, cool See, that's why I really like about this spot is because 12-pell is very technical and they give you a lot of information They'll even tell you about the products they use afterwards So I just think that nowadays a lot of good guys they get haircuts But they don't really understand what they're getting or why they're getting it What's the first step to my haircut? I'm just gonna part the hair first just to separate the top and side just so we know we're cutting It's important to section it otherwise you might cut something too short or at least something too long Which kind of makes the whole overall shape kind of awkward You can see how the hair goes differently one part goes forward and one part goes downwards. So if you're Not sectioned correctly, the whole haircut could look kind of like my teeth Don't look wacky. Yeah, how would you describe a strong face? Anything more square more angles you kind of brings out your jawline. Okay, it doesn't You saying I got a jawline. I mean you have one but this can enhance it It's like a makeup for like guys, I guess Commendation of where should start it depends what you want usually those pretty good If you want more gradient the spreads out the whole fade Mid is kind of a good middle ground that then high would make it very intense Usually it's only good for like buzz cuts or something super short Otherwise looks very disconnected. Okay. So if I tell you that I plan on growing this hair out for the next Having this haircut for the next like 10 days. Yeah, what's gonna grow out the best? Well, I mean it would help it last longer Low looks pretty nice, but it won't last long with less skin. Let's go mid What's going on right now, so right now I'm just gonna set the trimmer line It's gonna give this close to the skin and I'm gonna bald it out So it's a little bit cleaner cool So you're using the kind of like t-line or like the one that cuts super close Yeah, usually for like lineups and stuff to make everything super sharp Helps the hair get prepped for the shaver because the shaver is gonna get rid of all the stubble make it very smooth So you're a you're hitting my head with what three different clippers in a way or three different cutters Yeah, pretty much they all do different things the main clippers blend and create shape for the bulk of the haircut Trimmers more for details and smaller a smaller haircut and then the shavers means the bald everything out Hey, everybody, hopefully you find this video helpful so far because you know, I haven't done a lot of haircut videos recently But we used to I hope you guys remember some of those But yeah, let me know if you guys want more videos like this Maybe I'll get cut by different barbers or I'll get different hairstyles or we'll highlight Different guys getting different haircuts, but yeah anyways, we're at 12-pell, which is you know, essentially the most viral barber shop Maybe in America. Here's the fall shape real quick. It's gonna get rid of all the stubble make it pretty much bear skin This is the classic fade feeling, you know the little ring ring ring on your head. I wanted to ask you Marco About your decision of being a barber Was this something you always want to do when you're a kid or you had other career Aspirations because you were in college. Yeah, I never wanted to do this I only want to do this because of Pell and because there's like a media side to this too Cutting hair was always exciting in college and my friends would just ask advice about styling because I knew how to style hair and how to ask for good haircuts so They would either just wait to go home or pay to get messed up haircuts So if I did it for free at least if I messed up, they'd have to pay for it So what did your parents say when you said or did you ever tell them like hey? I'm gonna be a come a barber. I'm gonna cut hair. Yeah It's not the most like Jurious job to tell your parents you want to do but right? I just had to kind of explain like the whole vision of It's not like for everything. It's more for like a gateway into networking and meeting lots of people All right, everybody here. I am lucky enough to be standing with the founder of 12-Pell Carho himself Carho, can you quickly give me the breakdown of the the origins of 12-Pell? Why did you want to make a primarily Asian barber shop? I'm not saying that all the clients are Asian or that all the barbers have to be Asian But it is it did start in the Asian community. All right, pan to the non-Asian clients right now That's what I said non-Asians get cut here. I get it No, no, this is a very inclusive space But we did start off because obviously we're in Chinatown. So it's very centric to our community Serving very majority of locals But it wasn't until 2020 where we hopped on tiktok really got that explosive Birality, how did you find all these Asian barbers dude? That question is best answered by the barber behind the chair How did how did we find you like I found two Julius who works here, too So through friends and like was there a scouting report like are you scout you're scouting people on IG? We did we did kind of go through there wasn't necessarily a scouting process I think a lot of it we relied on organic friends of friends type of situation. So that's how I think very naturally Obviously the demographic of our barbers became Asian because a lot of our friends and a lot of community were Asian We saw the opportunity in creating a barber shop for the younger generation However, there wasn't a lot of younger generation talent at the time, right? So we're talking about 2018 and back in the days Fades took over everything, you know, it's fades over everything. You're not talking about too much sheer work So when we wanted to level up the experience not only in the industry of barbering We wanted to cross that over with the salon game like low-key We're like the suicide squad because like everybody here. We're all so different We all have like different personalities some of us are quirky some of us are like more chill But at the end of the day, we all get together and we just do our shit We're gonna detail some of the skin line just cuz the hair on the backs a little bit thicker So we're just kind of freehanding with the zero open and just kind of blending it to look more even So right now we're using a thinning shears to help blend the bulk into the fade It's pretty much the same concept as fading with clippers just a little bit more precise just for the dark spots So it's gonna shape the corner to just to make this a little bit sharper make we got a haircut Some people have different styles some people like to push it back to make it What's your style? I'd rather do a more natural just so it goes back a little bit better Okay, push back a little bit, but not too much to where it looks like you've like a double line up sometimes Right, right. Yeah, I like it. I like a shape to it, but I really don't need to push back Yeah, getting water in the hair helps stretch the hair all the way out Oh, so this is to get the maximum cut out of the hair versus obviously, I don't wear my hair wet. Yeah You know what type of finish you want like more natural or more shiny? I usually go more matte You know back in the day I used to go shiny lots of gel But no, I go mad. You use a matte paste today Matt face is gonna be good for a solid hold and it's gonna make the hair more natural So it's okay for a full like nothing in there and take a piece as a matter of products warm up in the hands And then when you apply it you want to start the roots This is what holds up your hair gives you volume and texture if you get everything on top it gets very heavy Yeah, so it gets rid of all the flow and texture when I do it myself am I taking my fingers and doing this like what what's the best way Yeah, the best way is kind of start you can start the middle if you want to make sure you spread throughout the roots and then If you just kind of do this motion, it'll spread more evenly the vented brush comb the hair back The idea is that when you blow dry this hair back, it's gonna dry like this So it's gonna support all the hair falling over so this part will stay more volumized for longer Thanks Marco, I appreciate it appreciate the information and hopefully you guys found this video helpful I can just walk straight out of this shop because I already paid online so There it is Whoo, man. So hopefully you guys found that video helpful It's been so cool to see 12 pell grow, you know We were here the first week that they opened about five and a half six years ago And then now they've turned into this amazing power house Car has been very helpful. You know, I even get social media tips from them But ultimately I get a fresh cut so you guys let me know if you guys want to see more Videos like this. I kind of want to bring haircut videos back styling videos back because I think it's really helpful I'm not saying I'm the expert, but let me just tell you I can talk to experts so Feeling confident man. What should I do in Chinatown now?
