, on code making. and one of the most impressive is the use of native american dialects to protect u.s. military communication. this story starts in world war i. american troops on the battlefield find out quickly that the germans are able to intercept their radio communications. almost immediately, they come up with countermeasures, one of the most effective is to use native american dialects, choctaw, comanche, sioux. they bet that the germans would not have a clue. they were exactly right. in some of the more important battles in world war i, the use of native american code talkers proved to be extremely helpful. now, when the armistice is signed, the thought was, well, we, maybe we should keep this around, but the consensus was no, sooner or later nations like japan and germany will learn these dialects, so it's not a good idea to use it for the future. what that means is, when pearl harbor is attacked, there's hardly anybody who is in favor of resurrecting code talking. but a gentleman by the name

and in the police code 11 e.r. more games constituents an arrest warrant cascade you have reached a critical mass of games below 11 there's more flexibility we said for non-bars anything below 11 they don't need a permit the entertainment commission doesn't need the oversight. there was some debate how we deal with bars originally the legislation that was introduced said a bar can have one game and anything else needs another permit. the - supervisor breed said allow bars to have up to four games that passed at the land use commission and passed at the board of supervisors and the police department were concerned about that it meant there would be businesses between 2 and four outside of the good neighbor policy and their purview so supervisor breed and i and the city attorney's office meet with the police department after that 72 the board meeting and it's a good come mice a bar can have one game and 2 to 10 over the counter permit and the application of a will be wrafd that seven hundred plus fee will be waived a
