That is for Jeremy Port and the Timberwolves back-to-back Jeremy's Grizzly sorry Wasn't he on the anyway Grizzly's my bad Jarell Taylor with that one That's Hatchimura He certainly has some upside in the future There's Cameron Johnson. We were just talking about him sons Patrick K and behind Jackson Hayes is Kaboom Jared Culver rookie Kaboom card nice That will be for Jeremy Port and the Minnesota Timberwolves Sort of bigger box here 1718 Donnery's basketball Kaboom not a rocket Yeah, well, I think you just have to hold out for the for the Lanzo at the end Joe P Thankfully, you didn't you didn't pay full price for this. He won this spot. So Could be worse a Arthur is here. What up, Arthur? What are the is anyone know what the tiebreaker would be the tiebreaker would be for the play-in game?  I think three or four games You get into that play-in game, which is like a two-game series essentially. I Forget if the kabooms or cases I think they are But what happens if there's a tiebreaker? Do they what what's the tiebreaker? Now the Grizzlies right now and the Suns have the same record 33 and 39. I don't think they face each other So what happens if? It's exactly the same Anyone know what I would it be The Head-to-head record maybe if they have ever faced each other this regular season season head-to-head Oliver says Did they play each other or what if they're what if it's one-in-one? They play each other more than twice That I don't know what happened Gotcha head-to-head Oliver and Arthur saying then conference record overall conference. Gotcha. I'll be honest with you I would not mind seeing I Would not mind seeing the Suns as the eight seed I don't want to see Portland Suns as an eight seed Laker Suns Be like a like a old classic matchup from like 15 years ago or something like that. You got Justin Patton Press-proof to 199 for the T Wolves Jeremy Port. I don't know was it 15 years ago. It was a long time ago Better record ahead to get yeah division winner interesting Would be one of the tiebreakers as well So what are any of these potential playoff team playing today? No, so Joe P saying tomorrow is the big day Right because it's Milwaukee Memphis tomorrow Dallas Phoenix tomorrow and Spurs, Utah tomorrow. So yeah decision day tomorrow That should be exciting Donovan Mitchell rated rookie nice Tomorrow we will know everything says Joe P Rated rookie going to Kyle cook And you on his insert will shift don't worry Like Dirk Nowitzki coming up here Spam about out of bio for the heat You don't see what the hype about Luis Robert. You find this on play. He went one for five. What was that one though? Did you see that one was a base clearing double? Three run three RBI's on that Who is Robert's very good. I was watching that game to when it was an incredible hit First pitch ripped down the left field line hustles in for a double clears the bases Giving the White Sox back the lead. I mean come on What do you want from him? the home run He's got those two Fox in the box the Aaron Fox Sean Maddock with the Kings you're gonna get zoo key Joe Joe P rockets.

I think last week we got a zoo key. I'll top-load. I'll even top-load that for you, Joe I Don't know what value he has now, but if he comes back to the NBA That's Kaz LeBron right there and Lonzo. We're giving away rookie Otto of his Nice calves LeBron going to Chris Bonewell Follow you don't you don't think zoo key wants to come back and play in the NBA You'll make a lot more.

It's gonna go to Daniel You know before the before the season was paused OP Dwayne Bacon We just passed his cart Dwayne Bacon dropped like a 40 or 50 point game. I Feel like if the I Feel like if he had more time in the G League and the season wasn't paused I'll bet he would have gotten some time with the of the Hornets Maybe next year Grated rookie Lori marketing in for the Bulls Daniel. I'm the only guy you've heard talking about Dwayne Bacon You like that take?  Who knows? But then the season hit the pause button and I don't think he was getting a lot of time And then I don't I don't think Charlotte was in the restart right? Yeah, Charlotte wasn't even in the restart So didn't work out But maybe a bi-low candidate for next year. I'm sure you can get his cards for under five bucks What are what are Dwayne Bacon prism silver is going for I'd be curious now Dwayne Bacon prism silvers All right, we've got a retail box right here 2019 2020.   I think or the thing the hearing was on Monday. I don't know what the results of that is I didn't see that anything reported today Unless it reported while I was on air Breaking so I'm sure someone in the chow to say something Wait did Paolo saying thoughts on Kelly getting another eight games? Is that what happened? They didn't give him the extra eight games. Wow.  No, yes me and saying It was actually reduced to five games. Maybe you were thinking of someone else Paolo No, yeah Dodgers Joe Kelly suspension reduced to five games on appeal, which is still ridiculous It should be one game. It should be one game Joe P. Look at that. I'm gonna save that James Harden for you But yeah, Manfred and Goodell are both two P's in the same commissioner pod. I mean Look at look at how well the Look at how well Adam Silver's been doing things in basketball. So, you know, I think I think TJ's right Paolo I think you got caught up in the joke. No, they did they did not add more that sounded weird, too I was like they wouldn't add more because of the brawl Paolo Manfred still ridiculous Yeah, that's that's the thing it seems like something he would do so I think all of us are not surprised But no, I think it got it got reduced to five which is again still ridiculous But oh and an autograph out of here the autos aren't too common in this. It's Darrell Macon, Miami Heat, Jeff Darlak Yeah, Bayesley that was the entire Thunder teams and playing some good basketball Yeah, that Bayesley holla that I just sleeved up is it's pretty strong Jalen Brown as well Yeah clippers by or a thunder by the way Mike G with that Darius Bayesley that hollows one for $70 now That's why I'll save that bowl bowl, too His values been popping up a little bit on the rise Let's go into a mega box right here 1718 mega box.

I don't think Lonzo's bubble stats are atrocious They should they should be better. He should have worked on his shooting during the three-month layoff. I Don't think he did he's got upside Be a solid distributor of the ball with the team that he has just 15 assists a night. We can have zero points and 17 assists a night that dirt Jalen Brown Julius Randall Oladipo Thunder Edition Torren Prince Big names here first done Brandon Ingrams.

This video is proudly sponsored by NordVPN. More about that later on. A match. Something so mundane and ordinary. You probably have a box in your house. But from a young age we are taught of the dangers of matches and the fire they can create. This is understandable as a small wooden item like this can cause immense fires in endangering life and limb. But something so run of the mill would create havoc in the world's oldest underground railway and burn a tragic event into the collective consciousness of the tube travelling public in London.  During its investigation it would ultimately lead to a new discovery in the way fires reach enclosed spaces called the trench effect. In the aftermath of the disaster fire regulations across the country would change and the look of the underground would be altered for good. Today we're looking at the King's Cross fire of 1987 and as such I'm going to rate this event here seven on the plainly difficult disaster scale and here eight on my historical legacy scale. It is the 18th of November 1987 and a traveller lights a cigarette from the match as they travel on the escalators at King's Cross station. Smoking on the underground has been illegal since 1985 but many openly flaunt the law and make use of the cover of the escalators of King's Cross tube station to light a cigarette before going out into the evening air. The match still lit falls down on the wooden escalator stairs and eventually works its way into the machine mechanism. This seemingly innocuous act would start a raging fire but let's pause there and have a look at the escalator set up at King's Cross. The tube station entrance of King's Cross has two sets of escalators from the ticket hall one serving the Piccadilly line and another serving the Victoria line. The former led out to a concourse from there passengers could go down further on another set of escalators to the northern line platforms. Needless to say this area of the station is busy as it is an interchange between lines that serve the north south and west of London. To deal with the high traffic flow three M series escalators were installed to transport passengers along the 30 degree incline over a rise of 17.2 meters. The M series were a familiar sight around London underground with a total of a hundred and eight installed across the network. They were capable of speeds between 30 and 35 meters per minute and consisted of wooden decking, side panels, cleated steps and risers. The steps were metal backed plywood with maple wood cleats at each side of the step is a metal fire cleat which is designed to cover the gap between the step and the skirting board. These were meant to stop cigarette butts and matches from entering the escalator mechanism but they needed regular adjustment as unsurprisingly with around 250,000 daily users of King's Cross station damage was a regular occurrence. Through the machine's working life some of the cleats became missing leading to around a quarter not installed on the escalators. The three escalators for the ticket hall to the Piccadilly line were installed in 1939 and were meant to be maintained every six months to remove grease, paper debris and other flammable materials. Proposals for a smoke detection system were made during the 1950s but interestingly these were not realised meaning wooden escalator plus no smoke detection means higher risk of fire. The escalators had two machine rooms an upper and a lower. The former housed the electric motors, worm reduction gears, chain drives to the drive shafts for each of the escalators, the electrical control gear, circuit breakers connecting motors to main supply and the water fog controls. The latter housed the return wheel and the sump pump. From inspection there are three sets of steps below the escalators two narrow and one larger central set. The middle largest set of steps had the supporting walls for escalator five and have periodic gaps through which the only and very restricted view can be seen of the underneath of escalators four and six. There are two pairs of wheels for each step on the escalator each running on a track. One pair of these wheels the chain wheels run outside and the other called the trailer wheels run on the inside of the track. There is a large gap of around 15 centimetres between the two sets of wheels giving enough space for a large build up of grease and other debris which due to the space once again is very difficult to remove. Such a build up is pretty much the perfect supply of fuel for a fire. To add to the cherry on a disastrous cake in order to fully clean the equipment it would need to be completely dismantled putting out of use a busy thoroughfare. Instead cleaning maintenance was undertaken on the running tracks by hand only and all without removing the steps and ever since installation no full deep clean was ever undertaken. Between 1956 and 1988 London Underground had experienced around 400 fires on escalators and this leads us to 1987 and a tragic day in November. It's time to talk about this video's sponsor NordVPN.

At around 1930 on the 18th of November 1987 a member of the public noticed a small fire on the Piccadilly line to ticket hall set of escalators. Around the same time another passenger operated the emergency stop button and shouted at others to get off the escalator. A British transport policeman checked the fire and saw flames coming from a gap between the sides of the stairs of the escalator over the length of one step. Whilst this happened a staff member in the booking hall and BTP control were informed. A few minutes later at 1934 the London Fire Brigade was also informed. Just two minutes later the BTP ordered an evacuation via the Victoria line escalators. For now smoking escalator four was taped off but members of the public continued to step over and continue on the unmoving escalator steps. BTP officers reported the fire as mainly on one side and stretching about halfway across the width of the escalator over one or two steps. The fire was burning cleanly with flames about handrail height. By now smoke was permeating its way into the ticket office and could be seen from the outside. The fire now established around halfway up escalator four was spreading albeit slowly. The order to evacuate the station was given but deep below on the Piccadilly and northern line platforms trains continued to stop letting off passengers. By 1943 the flames were spreading and around four feet high were becoming a very big concern for underground staff. Just one minute later the flames were now five to six feet high four to five yards long with extra flames shooting up from both sides of the escalator. In 1945 a flash over was witnessed by passengers in the ticket hall as a jet of flames shot up the escalator shaft enveloping it with intense heat and thick black smoke. The flames struck the ticket hall ceiling as the jet hit the ceiling the ceiling turned into a layer of flame rapidly spreading outward. During the flash over 30 were killed instantly another would die of burns a week later. Victoria line trains were told to enter the station slowly to pick up passengers stranded on the platforms. By 1959 the first ambulance was on the scene and would be followed by in total 14 more and over 155 fighters all of whom would be treating the injured and ferrying them to hospitals all around London. In total 100 people were taken to hospital with 19 severely injured. It would take another two hours to contain the fire and by 146 in the morning the King's Cross fire was finally over but it had left in its wake severe death damage and destruction. The ticket hall and platforms for the Metropolitan line were unaffected and reopened the next morning. Victoria line escalators were only slightly damaged and resumed operation the following Tuesday. The ticket hall for the three deep lines of Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria was reopened over four weeks later. The escalators down to the Piccadilly line were completely destroyed necessitating passengers to exit the station via the Victoria line and mid-city platforms but with so many escalators like the ones at King's Cross in use across London underground the cause of the fire had to be investigated and prevented for the future. The investigation was initiated by the police soon after the fire and the scene was preserved and with the help of the London Fire Brigade found that arson was not the cause. This was due to no evidence of accelerants difficulty to get into the machine room large build-up of grease and debris and remains of matches and cigarettes. Now matches and cigarettes you might think might actually hint towards arson but they would tip the investigation towards the actual cause. You see smoking was banned on London underground in 1985 way earlier than almost every other part of society in the UK and as such people tended to flaunt this rule this meant that smoking on the tube was often seen even two years after the ban. It was a common sight for people to light up the cigarettes before leaving the station leaving a potential ignition source. Investigators also found with the evidence of discarded matches large amount of lubricating grease, fibrous material and paper all of which had made its way under the tracks of the escalator. To try and find out for certain investigators used an unburnt portion of the escalator for an in-situ experiment. Three attempts to initiate the fire were made by dropping smoldering cigarettes through the gap at the side of the escalator but all failed. However the first lighted match dropped initiated a fire under the tracks. Within minutes the flames spread by the time the fire was visible to the passenger side of the escalator the spread was almost uncontrollable. After nine minutes the fire was put out and the cause was now understood but what made the fire flash over in such a dramatic way? This would involve a computer simulation and scale model. In December 1987 the AERE Harwell Laboratory was commissioned to carry out modelling of the flows and temperature distributions in the Piccadilly line escalator shaft leading up to the flash over. The computer simulator discovered something shall we say unexpected. It was thought that the flash over might have been linked with the type of paint on the ceiling but strangely modelling found that once ignited the fire stayed low. It travelled along the 30 degree angle running parallel to the escalator trench which concentrated the jet of flame up towards the ticket hall. The health and safety executive sceptical of the computer results made a scale model of the escalators and ticket hall and lo and behold in the next experiment the fire followed the exact same characteristics of the computer simulation. The now newly discovered phenomenon was called the trench effect and was the ultimate reason for the extreme flash over. The public inquiry also put blame on London underground limited with the station staff not reporting the fire quick enough which allowed over 10 minutes of smouldering to develop into a full blown fire. The Desmond Fennel report was released to the public in 1988 and multiple recommendations were made which involved the removal of any hazardous materials, CCTV fitted within stations, installation of fire alarms and sensors and giving personal radios to staff. The report also recommended improvements to some of the busiest stations on the network with better passenger flow. Eventually the three escalators for the Piccadilly line were completely replaced being commissioned on the 27th of February 1989 but it wouldn't be until 2014 that the last wooden escalator would be decommissioned on the network at Greenford.

from a company called CollabNet, we are a product development company. So you have heard from the title, developers want change, ops want control, so you guys can guess you know it's mostly about DevOps. I want the session to be more interactive, I want folks to you know ask questions in the middle and you know it's mostly knowledge sharing, your experiences, things like that. So how many of you you know have faced this challenge, where you know you develop a code, it works in your environment but it fails miserably in production, that's good. I see a few hands. And some of the things I am going to discuss is about our experience, how we are able to solve few things in our DevOps environment internally as part of a product development company and I will also quickly run through a small case study that we are able to solve for our customers. So I am not going to sell any product and stuff, there are some guidelines, things like that best practices I will share, it's up to you guys to go and implement how you want in your company or in your products. So first I am going to discuss about you know what are the challenges operation teams have and what are the challenges you know developers have and we talk about you know DevOps value proposition and what are the building blocks in DevOps space, how you can build your own DevOps. So these are like general things and then best practices and how we solve some of the DevOps challenges within our environment in our product, we host our product in cloud, things like that. So you can look at that as a takeaway for you guys and then one of our customers case study. So let's start here. So as I started earlier we always have a tug of war between developers and ops. So developers always want change and they are always in a fast paced environment. They want to develop more, they want to get to the market faster, learn technology and ops typically wants control.  So dev wants agility, ops wants stability. So the conflict between the two, they will always fight the conflict between the two is what DevOps is all about. So let's see some of the developers challenges. So on the left you see all the developers challenges and on the right you see ops challenges. There is a wall in between. So typically everybody knows, we are not going to talk about application lifecycle here but typically everybody knows if you follow practice, any lifecycle you have like a plan code build test deploy and then you also have release automation. So developers nowadays you know you have to


Okay. Has anyone seen this? First and foremost, I just have to comment on the fact that somebody put Jordan Peterson in a little tuxedo. Is this not the most adorable thing you've ever seen? Who did this? Who put him in a tuxedo? You're in a full tuxedo to go on the Joe Rogan podcast. What's going on here? So, Bads that says, Holy Moly, I don't think I can do this. First words out of Peterson's mouth in the Joe Rogan interview are complete self-parody. I can't even dunk on it. I did pre-watch this and I still am confused as to what he's trying to say. I genuinely don't know what he's trying to say. Throw it out. The climate change one is a weird one. Well, that's because there's no such thing as climate, right? Got him.  There's no such thing as climate. Owned. Epically pooned. I just don't know what to say. This is not an argument. What are you even talking about? This is so vapid and nonsensical. Concerned about climate change? There's no such thing as climate change. Why don't we just do that as a sort of Uno reverse card for every single other issue with respect to things conservatives bring up? Oh, you're worried about the border? There is no border. It doesn't exist because a border really is an invisible line and invisible lines are imaginary. They only exist in our head. I should be doing the current the frog voice. A border is an invisible line. I feel like that's not a good Jordan Peterson, but you said the thing about borders is that borders are imaginary. That's not a good Jordan Peterson impression.  Climate and everything are the same word. And that's what bothers me about the climate change types. It's like the climate change types, people who are concerned about the habitability of the planet. Is that who you mean Jordan Peterson? What does that even mean?    Okay, we're going to do a quick poll, folks. Let me know who has the worst voice me or Jordan Peterson type one for Jordan Peterson type two for me. I would actually type two against myself. I think that my voice on ironically is worse than his, but his voice is still annoying. So one for Jordan Peterson worse voice two for me worse voice. You can be truthful. I'm seeing some ones, ones, ones, not a single two yet. Okay, okay. I appreciate this. Thank you all so much. Two. Okay, we've got one, two mods ban him. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Oh, now you're just trolling.   Mostly ones, the ones have it. So Jordan Peterson confirmed has a worse voice than me. I would agree. Well, no. See, I go back and forth at the start. I said I would vote for myself.  So when you add the bad voice with the stupidity, I think it makes for a more lethal combination. Do I like Kermit the Frog's voice? I don't like Kermit the Frog's voice. Kermit the Frog sounds like a beta male cuck. So that's probably why I don't like Jordan Peterson's voice.  This is something that bothers me about it. Technically. Technically. Climate is about everything. It's okay. But your models aren't based on everything. Excuse me? What? I don't know what that even means. Well, the climate is about everything. Is it though? Are you a climatologist? Do you know anything about this? I know that he has a PhD, so he has the doctor title.  Does he know that there's a difference between climate and weather? Is he one of those people who goes outside when it's snowing and he's like, oh, it's snowing. Global warming. Disproven. He's got to be one of those people. But honestly, that might be too complex of an argument for this baby brain. Set number of variables. So that means you've reduced the variables, which are everything, to that set. Well, how did you decide which set of variables to include in the equation if it's about...   Like, what's the point? Okay, we have words that you're putting together. What's the point of them? Well, you see, if you're doing a large N study, or if you're doing a meta-analysis, and perhaps you're doing a quantitative over a qualitative study, then that just means that, you know, you're not doing the correct thing if you don't have the perfect variables.   And I've got to point out, isn't it the case that this guy dodged Kyle and Crystal's show because he said that he was doing some sort of a tour, but yet he's spending four and a half hours on Joe Rogan? If you really didn't have time to do Kyle and Crystal, don't you not have time to do Joe Rogan as well? I just don't get it. And that's not just a criticism. That's like, if it's about everything, your models aren't right. If it's about everything, your models aren't right.  Who listens to this? Your models do not and cannot model everything. What do you mean by everything when you say partisan? Oh wow, even Joe Rogan is trying to figure out here what's going on. Your models, what models? Name a model, cite a study. He can't do that because he's just making this up. He's just saying words. I mean, I could say words too. Duck, kangaroo, giraffe. I don't know why they're all animals, but I could say words too. But do you understand, I'm not making an argument when I just say random words. Thesaurus, fart, dog, Alabama. I mean, it's just, you have to have an argument and he doesn't have an argument. He's trying to sound smart because he's a professor, so he's like, oh well these variables and these models. Motherfucker, I can name variables too. What variables are you talking about? What study do you specifically take issue with? I just don't get it. It's sad that people take him seriously. I don't find him appealing at all. I never found him appealing. Even the whole self-help things. I mean, if that genuinely is something that helps you, I feel like it shouldn't. I mean, if it does, good, right?  So why are you taking self-help advice from someone who very clearly is struggling to get his life together is very clearly not smart. I just, I don't know, I don't get it, but it's not my cup of tea.  Not my cup of tea. But if people like it, then that's not okay. We should throw them all into the gulag. That's my opinion.


Alisha loves color. What should I use to begin shooting tutorial videos? Camera and what program do you use to edit and voiceover? Thanks Matt. So this was a question like We do get this question a lot But I think a lot of people just think that they need a lot of fancy equipment It's very easy to pick up you need like a full-out studio I would say you need to invest some money into it because now it is work here So My answer to this two years ago was you could use anything use your iPhone use whatever But now I think it's a little bit different because so many people are doing it and the quality of video is changing so Yes, you can start maybe using your phone or an iPad or whatever, but I would really invest in a cheaper Sort of like DSLR camera definitely some kind of a microphone You don't have to spend a lot of money doing it But let's say like the the Canon 70d is one that I use quite a bit And then a microphone on top of that so that you pick up good audio because people get like they don't want to listen to bad quality video, it's just I think All right, you go first. Okay. I was gonna say I think starting with an iPhone is like at least From the standpoint of getting to know how to do the video editing right Get in there like use your iPhone or use a GoPro or use like your family video camera that you can upload the footage to Your computer but get it in make some videos that aren't necessarily going to be internet worthy right See if you're willing to put in that effort.  It's the only difference. We both have similar starbucks orders not today, but usually um, all right, so Yes, okay, I totally agree with that if you want to try it out first Use your iPhone iPhone does have a great camera Maybe invest in a microphone to hook to your iPhone because the audio should be good But facebook live you have all this different stuff Editing is not an easy thing But we started, you know with one cheaper camera and worked our way up throughout making videos But video is a it's going to be a big part of people's careers if they want to be in the education platform, so I think just if you're going to do it go in and invest in it and I mean One thing that I did advice is balls deep Well, no like one thing So the camera I couldn't afford to buy the first camera So I ended up I think I did like five easy pay on qvc was my first I remember that You got really excited about that we discovered they did that Yeah, because it was no credit check and they just let you buy it for five now We have a good camera. Yeah, so um, so that was the first camera. It's actually the one that drea's Looking into right now was one of our first cameras. So uh one of our first good cameras So, you know just make sure I would make the investment if you're really into it because it's going to pay off Later on down the road and if it doesn't you can take pictures of your family


Okay, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Krista Burns, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the commission's weekly online event. Yes, you can call it a webinar, we don't mind. But we cover anything that may be of interest to librarians, both in Nebraska and across the country. We do a variety of topics here, presentations, book reviews, interviews, little mini-training sessions. Basically, if it's vaguely related to libraries, we'll put it on the show. We do these sessions live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time. But they are all recorded, excuse me, so if you're unable to join us on Wednesday mornings, that's fine. You can just go to our website and watch all of our archived recordings that we have there. We do a mixture of things here where we have commission staff, the Nebraska Library Commission staff that sometimes do presentations and we have guest speakers that come in. And today we have a mixture of that. This morning we are talking about celebrating, let's see, there we go, Adia de los Ninos, Adia de los Libros. I didn't even practice, but I should have. And we've got a group of people from the Nebraska Library Association Diversity Committee that are going to tell us about what this event is and how you can do some things in your library for it. Next to me I have Katherine Brockmire who is actually a commission staff, but she is also the chair of NLA's Diversity Committee at the moment. Next to her is Sally Snyder who is the children's and young adult librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission. She's going to share some ideas. And then on the line with us, who we'll be speaking later on as two other staff, two other members of the NLA Diversity Committee, Naomi Solomon and Willa Garry. So we're starting off with Katherine, so I will hand over to you and you can take it away with your PowerPoint. You should be all set to go. Good morning and thank you so much for joining us. My name is Katherine Brockmire. I do work with the Nebraska Library Commission, but I have a very soft spot in my heart of diversity outreach for two people of diverse backgrounds is close to my heart. And I have continued that from my previous service in a public library. And so I have joined the Nebraska Library Association's Diversity Committee. And we are kick-starting this year with the observance and the promotion of El Día de los Niños, El Día de los Libros, which means Children's Day slash Book Day. Just a little background on pronunciation and writing this out. You will see an accent over the eyes, so that instead of Día, it is Día. And then there's this funny little thing over the N, and that is called a tilde, and that makes it the letter Nye instead of N, so Niños and Día. So El Día de los Niños, El Día de los Libros. So we will get started here. The first thing I would like to do is ask you to type in your question box whether or not you have celebrated El Día de los Niños, El Día de los Libros before. You can just type in there, yes, no, we're planning one. Exactly. And after you can see it up there, or you can look here, it's easier for you to look next here. Oh, this is fine. Okay. This is a little closer. You've got one no, no. You have one no. Another no. How does this expand? I can have it. So we have some new people here that they say they haven't done an idea before. So wonderful. We'll have some great inspiration for you today, and perhaps if you have, or if you are already aware of it, we hope to expand your knowledge. So this is wonderful. I'm very interested in doing it. That's why. Right? Very interested in doing one. It's quite possible, this is the 27th of March, it's quite possible to go ahead and get this prepared to at least have an awareness campaign, even if you don't have any programming. You can do this on a shoestring, and you'll have everything prepared, and you'll be ready for April 30th, or the week surrounding April 30th, however you want to do it. But let's go for it. Let's shoot for April 30th. So celebremos, celebrate. DIA is a nationwide celebration of children, families in reading, held annually on April 30th. DIA brings families together and emphasizes the importance of literacy for every child, regardless of linguistic or cultural background. And so even though we're talking about the title being in Spanish, it has expanded to all cultures and all backgrounds and all nationalities. Hundreds of libraries, schools, and communities throughout the country will host celebrations and programs that honor multiculturalism and stress the importance of books and literacy. DIA is an enhancement of Children's Day, which began in 1925. Children's Day was designated as a day to bring attention to the importance and well-being of children. International Children's Day was declared at the World Conference for the Well-Being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. And I was searching for pictures of children from that era and came across this wonderful photo from Wichita City Library's Children's Stacks. They have a wonderful collection. I did contact them for permissions in case there was a copyright attached. And they graciously gave us permission to show this picture. So DIA del Niño. What's DIA del Niño? That's the day of the child. That's Children's Day. And in Mexico, Children's Day is celebrated on April 30, 30 de abril. It's also known as El DIA del Niño. And on this day, teachers in school organize the day for their children. So it's all about the kids. Lessons are suspended from 12th noon, sometimes earlier, and they organize games, music, and the children bring in their favorite foods to share with each other. Some families also have a day out with their children. And there are special activities for the kids in parks and sports centers. Sometimes also, the children will be given presents by their families. And this is the day when children are really honored in Mexico. This is a photograph from a DIA del Niño. So this wasn't a DIA de los Niños, DIA de los Libros celebration. This was actually DIA del Niño. Here's Pat Mora. She is the best advocate and the originator of this entire movement of DIA de los Niños, DIA de los Libros. In 1996, author Pat Mora learned about the Mexican tradition of celebrating April 30th as El DIA del Niño, the day of the child. And Pat thought to herself, well, we have Mother's Day and Father's Day. So yes, we need kids' day too. But I want to connect all children with book joy, the pleasure of reading. And I think she's kind of coined that word book joy. I have seen her use that on her website. I've heard her speak about it. And she's just a wonderful advocate. As a side note, I don't know. It might be last minute, but I did coordinate a DIA de los Niños, DIA de los Libros. And we had contacted her or her agent. And she wrote a tiny, she wrote a lovely little note, which I read aloud to the kids at our celebration. So it's possible to contact her. She's so passionate about this. DIA is sponsored by the Association for Library Service to Children, which is a division of the American Library Association. ALSC is the National Center of DIA through grants from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. And ALSC is working with other national organizations, such as Reforma, which is the National Association to promote library and information services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking. To initiate communication and education efforts that promote DIA to families across the United States. So this new website that I will show you is funded entirely by the generous support of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. And libraries across the nation were able to apply for grants from them to celebrate DIA. That grant cycle has closed, and the libraries have been awarded. And it's interesting to see which libraries were awarded so that you can follow them and see what kind of celebrations they have done. DIA is a nationally recognized initiative that emphasizes the importance of literacy for all children from all backgrounds. And it's a daily commitment. This is where you try to extend it from the day to throughout the year. It's a daily commitment to linking children and their families to diverse books, languages, and cultures. So DIA could be the jumping off point. DIA could be the embarking on an entire year-round campaign. The common goals of all DIA programming are to, 1, celebrate children and connect them to the world of learning through books, stories, and libraries. 2, nurture cognitive and literacy development in ways that honor and embrace a child's home language and culture. 3, introduce families to community resources that provide opportunities for learning through multiple literacies. So for example, the program that I did when I was at the Hastings Public Library here in Nebraska, we did work with the Hastings Literacy Group, and also the Migra Education Program. And so I made some connections with them. They had a booth. He was on the committee to organize LDA. And so we made a really great connection there. They did a lot of promoting. And I think we brought in an extra amount of participants and guests that day to our programming because of that connection. 4, we recognize and respect culture, heritage, and language as powerful tools for strengthening families and the communities. Here's the website, dia.ala.org. And we'll go to that in just a little bit. I will show that to you for just a couple of minutes. But I strongly encourage you to go over every tab, try every flyout, and delve as deep as you can into the resources that are available to you. This is where you can submit the event that you're going to have. And then it will show up on their search. And this is also where you can order materials. I did not try to find out if it's too late or just in time to be able to order materials. But through them, I think you can get bookmarks and other wonderful things that you might be able to hand out, at least at your desk on the 30th of April. So what can you get from the site? There is a publicity toolkit. They walk you through all the wonderful ways that you can promote dia. There's the resource guide, another wonderful resource. And then also a book list and an addendum to the book list. And if we have time at the end, perhaps Krista can go back and kind of walk through those. Or Sally, if you feel comfortable. Or Naomi or Willa might also be visiting these. But if that's possible, that would be wonderful. So you've gone to the website. You have gone through every tangential. You've gone tangentially through every possible iteration of this website.  And you're ready to go. So what's next? You can do an awareness campaign. You could do a special story hour or some kind of programming on that day. You could do outreach where you go out into the community, whether you're going to minority groups or you're actually going and talking about the awareness to say a Lions Club or a Rotary Group. You can do the advocacy where you advocate for your various populations that come into your library. One of the most popular, there may not be time, but you might be able to go to a Lions Club and ask them to pony up $100 or something is a book giveaway. And another one is library card sign up. And so the book giveaway was a huge, we did our dia outside. We brought in a mariachi band. We had 900 people show up. We had free food. All the people through migrant education program, a lot of the moms had cooked and cooked and cooked. And we had just the most wonderful. Now that was huge. But when they found out that we were bringing a mariachi band, our group went from about 100 to an estimated 900 to a 10. So you bring in a mariachi, you're good to go. So some other things that you might do is you might approach your mayor and ask for a declaration of making April 30th El Dia de los Niños, El Dia de los Libros. Our mayor did come to our celebration. He spoke for a couple of minutes. This is a great way for your different populations to get to know some individuals in the government. You might write news articles or ask for the news to cover. Just even the awareness of Dia, the publicity toolkit does give you a sample news release. You might do displays or book talks. You might have musical performances. Again, you might visit community groups or make presentations to Kiwanis. And you might, if you have time and you think you might have somebody in your back pocket that you could approach a funder for the book giveaways or any kind of bookmarks or little gifts or prizes. And also the Nebraska Library Commission here has a collection of books that you might, and similar that you might be able to get through your state library. These are the books to help in preparation for El Dia de los Niños. It gives you wonderful ideas for the books themselves, craft projects, how you might serve populations. Now this is all geared toward the Hispanic or Latino population, but of course there are other populations that you could go to and access resources such as this just to give you a background of outreach and how outreach can be most effective in your library. And just so you know this document and the PowerPoints and anything that everybody uses today will be posted when the recording goes up as well so you'll be able to have access to this. Absolutely. And that concludes my presentation. I will pull up Sally's and I just want to thank Sally Snyder for joining us today and I do want to thank you in advance Naomi Solomon as well as Willa Garay who will be presenting a little bit later and if someone has time toward the end of the presentation to visit the website, otherwise I think it all makes sense when you go to the website. Again, it's dia.ala.org and thank you so much for your time. Thank you so much. I'll make room here for Sally while we should come to the middle so that you can drive your presentation. Just a little rearranging here. Some of them, yes. And so you can hear me. I hope I'm not stealing ideas from Naomi and everybody but I gave a presentation a number of years ago about craft things and beyond that you can do to bring at that time Hispanic or Latino people into the library. And so I was talking with Catherine about these and she says, oh, just bring those to the session. So here I am with my ideas. And Papel Picado is the first thing I'll talk about. I'm a visual person so I like to see the words and I'm hoping that'll help you. Of course, as we said, the website that I have on here you'll see later. That's just one of many different websites about Papel Picado. The fun thing about this is that people who have, I think kids still make snowflakes. So there's my kind of wrinkled example. I'm just gonna wave it around down here. You take, traditionally, this is a Mexican, primarily a Mexican thing. They make these and hang them around the room for a celebration. So you take a piece of tissue paper and fold the edge so that it will fit over the string that you use to hang it.  It just reminds me so much of making snowflakes. You fold it up and you make some cuts and then you open it up again and say, is this all I want to do? Fold it up again or fold it the other way? You can fold it many different ways and make cuts and then they hang them all around the room. So this is a great way to have kids, teens, whoever because they can be very intricate. They have artisans who make extremely intricate and beautiful papel picado, which means papela's paper and picado means punched or cut. And so you need bright colors. I know you can't see me very well. I have red and yellow in this aqua. If you don't want to use tissue paper, you can use construction paper if you have a big stack of construction paper. I know everybody has limited budget. So you can go ahead and do that. But if you want to be traditional, the tissue paper is the traditional route to go and they cut it and hang it. And one of the items that I read about papel picado today, people who are making very intricate ones are starting to use vinyl because these are hung outside and inside and outside these will, of course, the tissue will dissolve and that's kind of part of the idea, the celebration is over, the tissue eventually goes away. But it's great fun. I think the kids will have a great time. And yes, you'll have a big mess because they'll have cut out little pieces of tissue everywhere, but at least it's not glitter. I mentioned I really like glitter. This is the website that I chose just yesterday. I've been to several. It says Muertos on there on that bottom line. That means death because they also make these papel picado for the day of the dead. So if you speak a little Spanish and wondering why does it say Muertos, that's why. But this was a very interesting short section from the Museum of International Folk Art. So I think it's pretty well-known site. And you can, of course, find many, many other sites that do that. She mentioned one of the books on the list was 25 Latino craft projects. And I checked this out yesterday too, just to see what all was in here. Interestingly, it does not have papel picado in this book, but it has some other interesting crafts that you can do for kids or teens or adults if you want to celebrate. So some of the other craft ideas. For the little kids, you can glue or tape crepe paper streamers onto the top of the straw hat to wave in celebration. It says in this book that crepe paper is really popular in Mexico for, this was part of the chapter on Dia de los Niños, Dia de los Libros. Or you can have them cut out a smaller square or rectangle, it should be of tissue paper or regular paper and do the same papel picado to that and then attach it to a straw to make a flag that they can wave. So they can wave their streamers or they can wave a flag that they've cut in the fashion of papel picado. They also talked in the chapter on Dia de los Niños about paper beads, which we've seen other places where you take triangles of paper and you can cut up magazines, old magazines of course, that are available and that has lots of different colors and you put a line of glue along the center from the center to the tip and then you roll those and they say a coffee stir stick, roll them up on the coffee stir stick and slip this bit out of there and set it aside to dry and after you've done that and they're all dried, you can string them using thread or craft string, whatever you have for them to make a necklace or bracelet or whatever they want to do. And I've seen that done in from various countries and according to this book, it's popular in Peru as well. So that's just a couple, three craft things you can do. There's many other ideas in here that I didn't get to because I want it to be quick and brief, but take a look at this book if you're planning on, I know only one person probably be able to check it out between now and the 30th, but from here you can look for it elsewhere in your library alone and see if you can get a hold of it. That's someone besides the commission if you're not the first one to get it from us. Very good point. And also you can start planning for next year. If you don't feel like you have enough time for this year, you can get this book later and plan some ideas for next year. I also of course want to promote children's picture books and beginning readers because the librarians in Nebraska are telling me that the dual language books are very popular with both English-only speakers and with multilingual people because you can read it just in English, you can read it in just in Spanish, or if your child speaks Spanish and is learning English, they can do both and really get a sense of both languages. It's important for people who have another language as their first language to learn to read in that language before they really try to learn to read in English. I understand from what educators have said that they really need to learn their language and then they can learn English. So you're making all of this available to them. So that was my little aside promotion. And then of course you always want to have fun. So I'm hoping that you have as much fun as the kids, the teens, whoever, because the teens will make those paper roll-up necklaces and bracelets while they might not, or they might make a really intricate papel picado because they don't want to just look like they're little kids making snowflakes. See, because mine are, that's all the exciting I can get with mine. I know sometimes as people do where it's not just a snowflake, they cut it into actual pictures or people or something in there. I just, I have no talent. They're just gorgeous, some of them. As you look around the internet and look under papel picado, as I said in my introduction, so you spell it right, there are some beautiful things that have been done by truly talented artists. And mine look like snowflakes because that's what I had in my mind when I started cutting. And that's all I had to talk about. I just wanted to give a quick little craft and some ideas about Dia. So thank you for having me here. And I'll listen now to some more people talk about other ideas. Okay, you can just stay there. Hi, and next up, I believe we have Naomi. Naomi, I've unmuted you, are you there? Yes, I'm here. Okay, I'm gonna hand over presenter control to you. So you should be able to share your screen in just a second here. You should be getting a pop-up to share your screen. Here's my screen up there now. Yep, I see it now. Yep. Okay, thanks. There, yep. Okay, go ahead ahead. All right, for Dia de los Limos, Nina's Dia de los Limos, I thought it would be really fun to get piles and piles of books and try to find the best or the easiest ones to implement in a short amount of time. So most of these are gonna be for story time, but I also chose some upper elementary reads. And I was a little bit liberal with where I put them on the map. Sometimes it depends on where the author was from or where I believed that the culture in the book was from. So some leeway there. But then also most of all of these did come from the dia.ala.org book list that Catherine already mentioned. And I have a few links that I'll show at the end and that will be probably attached with the information you get later. So books to try. Do I need to get rid of this? Okay, just a moment. I guess right away jumping right into Pat Morris book, book fiesta because again, she is the founder of this holiday. And this is a bilingual picture book. It was illustrated by Rafael Lopez. You might recognize his artwork. It was used in summer reading program 2011. And this is just a book where kids are reading in all kinds of fun and wacky places. They're reading inside of a whale in a hot air balloon and all kinds of things like that. So I think this would be fun to get kiddos to imagine some unusual place that they'd like to read and draw and color a picture of that or even to grab a favorite picture book off the shelf and do a quick parade around the library, just sharing that bookjoy with other people who happen to be around that day. The next book I'd like to discuss is Rachel Isadora's Say Hello. And this author is from New York City, but also the story I believe would easily fit in New York City where there's a young girl taking her dog on a walk and for each neighbor or business owner she meets, she already knows how to say hello in their language. Maybe she's been learning or they've been teaching her. And so it's just a real easy way to teach kiddos to say hello in all kinds of new languages. And some discussion questions that you could add to this. What other phrases besides hello would you like to learn in other languages? Or thinking generations back where have your families come from and how would they have said hello in their countries? Now over in Massachusetts, we have the author Susan Pearson who wrote How to Teach a Slug to Read. This would be great for a story time for older siblings, not even very old, but just if they have a younger brother or sister that they'd like to teach how to read. It's about a young boy who teaches a mama slug, how to teach her a little slug, how to read. And it's got some great tips in there, such as put labels on things, choose really good books that rhyme or that have repeating words, help sound out words, make vocabulary less and be patient. And I think a lot of those things you could do in a story time, you could start putting labels on items around the room, including the librarian, the mother or the father, the chairs, pencils, library cards, anything. Make a vocabulary list and ask the children, you know, if you've got a younger brother or sister at home that's just learning to talk or just learning to read, what words do you think are most important for your little one? And a quote from this book, books will teach them how to play soccer, books will show him slugs in other lands. And it makes me wanna ask, what else will books be good for? Next, down in Columbia, Monica Brown wrote, Waiting for the Biblioborough, which is based on a librarian in the mountains of Columbia. And it's about a young girl named Anna who daydreams a lot and she really loves stories. So on the day when she meets the Biblioborough for the first time, it just changes her world immensely and it helps her to have a bigger imagination now that she can have a book that she can keep for a few weeks. And it takes a really long time for the Biblioborough to come back, she feels. So the librarian tells her, well, you know, you don't have to wait for me, you can write your own story. And what I would do with the children for a story time with this book is ask them, do you think that Anna ends up writing her own story? You could also ask about what other types of animals would be good for this kind of job. Do we have anything like the Biblioborough in the United States? And if you were this librarian, what books would you make sure to have with you? So what are their favorite books or what books would be very important to take around to as many kiddos as possible? Then over in Minnesota, the author Laura Purdy-Salas wrote Book Speak, which is poems about books. And this fits in great because April is National Poetry Month. Many of the poems here focus, excuse me, act as riddles, so you can use them to have the students, the children guess what part of the book is being described. It might be a book plate, a table of contents, or the book cover itself. And so sometimes the books are very, the pieces of the books are very animated and they make for fun riddles. I would have children step in and read some of these pages, have adults step in and read, read them in alternating voices or even copy them off and use them for poem in your pocket day. Then over in India, Sanjay Patel and Emily Haynes wrote Ganesha's Sweet Tooth, which is a new take on how the Mahabharata came to be, which is an ancient Sanskrit poem. So Ganesha is a Hindu god. So this is a fun introduction to Hindu mythology but it's obviously very fictionalized. I liked it a lot for the beautiful colors, just the fact that it taught me a little bit about Hinduism and it made me want to learn more. So some related activities. The Mahabharata that Ganesha helped to record was 200,000 lines long, it was an epic poem and if I had piles of poetry books that I could take out to story time, I would have the children dig and try to find the longest poem that they could find in those books. I'm another thing you could find pictures of Ganesha from all kinds of sources and have them look for Ganesha's broken tusk in his hand in each picture. Or you can see if there's someone in your community who might make Ladoos, which are the sweet Indian dessert that Ganesha really likes in this story. Then over in South America, we have this book, the Khazwella that the farm made in Sturd, which is very much patterned off of the house that Jack built. It's bilingual on each page. One of the English words is replaced by Spanish words, so you're learning a new Spanish word on each page. It's by Samantha Vamos and illustrated by Rafael Lopez again. And she's making rice pudding, but the farm animals help her get all of the ingredients that she needs. The setting could be any of a couple different places in South America, so I just plopped it in the middle there, and then there is a recipe included in the back, so that's pretty fun. Then the next book I read has a family from Australia and also from Morocco, and it's called Mirror by Jeanne Baker. This is the wordless book, but at the same time, it's bilingual and bicultural, so it's great for any age because it's wordless. You can have readers side by side, flipping open the pages and saying what they see, excuse me, saying what they see on each page, and trying to find the commonalities amongst the two families on such different parts of the world. You could use it alongside nonfiction books, like Children Like Me. I would say a related activity would be to draw a storyboard of what goes on in the children's life and then turn it into a paper airplane, fly it across the room, and compare it to somebody else's storyboard of what goes on in their day to day. And you can also use it as inspiration to write parallel stories about other characters who at first don't seem like they match up, like a cat versus a dog, or a toy truck versus a real truck, or the life of a duck versus a chicken, things like that. Then over in Columbia, again, we have the book Jimmy the Greatest. The authors are both from Columbia, Hyro Boutrago and Raphael Yolkting. This is about a young boy who wants to be a boxer. He sees newspaper clippings of Muhammad Ali and that really inspires him. But in his small coastal village, there's not much for him to do. And a really good quote I liked from this book. It says, but things changed. Donna Polinar, like many people in town, had to go to the big city. That far away place where there are boxing matches, gyms, and real jobs. Jimmy was glad for Donna Polinar, though it wasn't easy to say goodbye to his trainer, especially now that he realized how much he still had to learn. Like how to not let time pass him by, how to maintain the gym, how to create a library. And so some discussion questions that would go with this. What would you do if you were Jimmy? Would you move to the city and why or why not? And then imagine who else is growing up in that town with big dreams and write a story about them. Then the next one, I started reading some Upper Elementary reads. So the next one is about Penn Palsman, whose family comes from the Northern Mountains of India. But she now lives over in New York City. And she does traditional handwritten letters with a young boy in Kentucky. It's called Same Sun Here. It's by Silas House in Nila Baswani. This is a very heartwarming epistolary novel, so it's all written in letters. It's two preteens, they're sharing secrets, they're becoming best friends really. They're breaking down a lot of stereotypes about folks who live in the South, folks who are from India, all kinds of fun things like that. So the related activities would be to obviously to find a pen pal or to learn about a new place in its people and focus on the similarities. Next I read Inside Out and Back Again, which is about a young girl and her family from Vietnam who are escaping the war. And they get on a ship and travel to the United States where they find a host family in Alabama, especially after they put Christianity on their form. So that's pretty interesting. It touches upon topics like the difficulties of being an ELL student, being teased, being homesick, being in a foreign place, obviously. This would be good for book club and I think it would be, a related activity would be to write about, excuse me, write a poem about what you love about home or about someone that you miss. Then the next book you could say starts in Puerto Rico. This was one of my favorite reads and it ends in New York City. The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano is written by Sonia Monsano and she is actually Maria from Sesame Street. So you might already know of this woman. This is historical fiction as well. It's based on actual events when the young lords took over in Puerto Rican Barrio in New York, in Harlem, New York from 1969 to 1970. It's also partially inspired by one of the New Yorkian poets named Pedro Pietri. This touches upon issues such as mother-daughter relationships, community activism, national history, and taparals, yellow, which means to try to cover up the sky with your hand or to try to pretend like big problems aren't really there. And so the young woman and her mother and her grandmother all struggle through trying to come to terms with issues that are actually festering in their community and how to make them better. So I would give this to the budding activists. Probably it's more of a girl's read than a guy's read but it was really one of my favorites. And then discussion questions. If you could bring some changes to your neighborhood, what would they be and where do you think you could start? And then finally, the one team book that I read was Under the Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall. This one is also written in verse. It was very easy read. The poetry seems really effortless by the author so she did a great job. It's about a young lady, maybe 15 or 16. She's the oldest of eight siblings and her hardworking immigrant parents are struggling because there wouldn't be enough money for so many kiddos and also the mother's going through cancer again. So the oldest daughter who's the protagonist here has to take care of her younger siblings but she's missing out on a lot of childhood and she's missing out on some critical mother-daughter experiences. So a related activity for this one would be to write a poem about your relationship with a family member and it's really heartbreaking but I would suggest it if you've got some teen readers that are looking for something good this April. And those are all the books that I hope you would try this Children's Day Book Day. And like I said, I got all of them from the DIA book list but these other websites seemed very helpful to me as well. So I would check all of those resources if you're pointing at something this month. Thanks. All right, thank you very much Naomi. That's good for me ladies. Yeah, thank you very much. If anybody has any questions or thoughts about anything you can type me to the questions section. I'm gonna switch now over to Willa. Willa, you're unmuted. Are you still there? Okay. Yep, I'm here. Okay. May I ask, Naomi, was that Prezi that your presentation was done in or what was that? Yes, that's definitely Prezi. Okay, yeah, that looked really nice. All right, Willa, I'm handing over presenter control to you. So you should be getting the pop-up to share your screen. So I have quick programming ideas and most of these also come from the website. Oops, there we go. Can you guys see my screen now? Now we can, yep. Okay. Most of these come from that ALA website that has already been mentioned. Oh, Willa, you can go ahead and make that full screen to actually show your presentation there like to fill it up all the way if you want to. Okay, is that better? Yeah, just make it a little larger. Okay, and one idea that they have is the parade of books and that involves making the crepe paper streamers and they recommend just doing it with with wooden dowels and crepe paper and then you just have the children hold the flags or a favorite book and kind of march around the library and then you can come back and read some stories or do some finger plays. So if you already have a story time scheduled that week, this can be kind of a way to celebrate DIA and just kind of incorporate it into the programming that you already have. Another idea is to have a craft program and I'm glad that Sally didn't mention this already. I found this nice tutorial on how to do Mexican paper flowers. So that's what they look like when they're finished and they're really quite beautiful, I think. I wouldn't mind having that on my desk. So you just need the tissue paper and the Chanel stems or pipe cleaners as I call them. So you just cut the tissue paper if you have the big sheets and then you fold them, paper fan style. And those that you can see, they're kind of just like the paper fans that we probably all made in grade school when we're supposed to be listening to the teacher.  You just take each layer and poof it up. And you don't have to make them that complicated either. I actually have done something similar with just like small little squares of tissue paper and you just kind of puff up the tissue paper. So depending on the ability of your kids, you can make it as complicated or as easy as you want to. And this is a good book to pair with that craft activity. This is again on Pat Morris website. So I guess they make these paper flowers and they put them around the statue of the Lady of Guadalupe. So probably any book about her would be appropriate. A food program is always a fun idea. Pat Morris recommended mimicking a popular TV food network show using cooks from the community. So if you have some parents who wouldn't mind volunteering or a community center or someplace that does cooking classes and they wouldn't mind volunteering. And I recommended the Cusuela that the farm made and stirred for that cause it does have the recipe in the end and it would definitely be something that you would have to make in front of the kids because it involves a lot of stirring over the heat. Or if you could have a mom just make it in advance and then they could try it after reading the book. That might be fun. And this is a really good rice pudding. If you haven't had Mexican rice pudding, you should go to your nearest Mexican grocery store and buy some cause it's not like, you know when you put the leftover rice in with the milk and cinnamon and sugar, this is like really rich and creamy, it's delicious. So and that is a really fun book to read aloud to. It repeats back. So this is the pot that the farm made and stirred and this is the cow that made the butter that went into the pot that the farm made and stirred and it's beautiful illustration. It's really fun to read a lot of book. And another idea is a dance or music program. And I would recommend Jose Luis Orozco. If you just need some quick ideas. I have one of his books at home that just has the lyrics and the music.  I know when I worked at Lincoln City Libraries they had a bunch of his CDs and stuff and they're all old or folk songs. So they can give you some ideas of songs to sing. And the last idea, this is the only one that would actually require some advanced planning but you might consider, you know doing a big event with a storyteller and that might be something you'll have to wait till next year to do but I know that Humanities Council does actually have grants for speakers and Erica Hamilton is the one that trains these speakers. That's what Vicki Wood told me. She's the one that does the primetime programming at Lincoln City Libraries where she brings in the Spanish speaking families. And she has the storytellers read a book or tell a story in Spanish and then there's a translator that translates it into English. So that's who she works with if you wanted to plan something like that for next year. And that's really all I have but I do recommend looking at those two websites, the ALA website and then also Pat Morris website. And that Mexican paper flower tutorial I can probably send that out with if we're sending out any information after we're done here. So that's all I have. Okay, thank you very much, Willa. That was some very cool stuff. Yeah, we're getting very excited about those flowers, definitely. That's just fancy cutting on that one. Yeah, it's very fancy on that nice example there. All right, thank you very much. Does anybody have any questions, comments, thoughts for Willa or Naomi or Sally? Catherine didn't have to leave early today so she is not here anymore. She took off while we were switching around. So does anybody have anything, any questions? Anybody can type it into the questions section of your go-to webinar interface. While we're waiting, I'd just like to say I can't wait to go to that website and check out that book list because the ones that Naomi talked about the books. Yes. I loved your map and all the books sound great. I've read a couple of them, but I have to get busy and read some more. Thank you for sharing that. Naomi and Willa, you're welcome. Go ahead. Oh, nothing, I was just saying you're welcome. No, that was really fun to read so many books. I truly have like 50 or 60 of them checked out. So there's a lot there, but I tried to pare it down for people who are brand new at putting on Dia de los Ninos programming and I'm brand new at it as well. So I'm just gonna try to work with the teens at my library and put on a book club, something special for book club, but I think there's a lot of great story time ideas in that list. Yeah. And there's Willa there showing us the page there on Pat Moore's page of all those different children's books that are listed there. I didn't get the mark here when bilingual wants are doing a lot of that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, she has a, and she has a whole like curriculums that go with the books too. And some of it is really geared more towards school libraries, I think, but you could probably, you know, do a shorter version of what she describes. That's great. Mm-hmm. Okay, well it doesn't look like any urgent questions are coming in, just a couple of love the presentations and good job from the audience. So I'm gonna pull back, present your control here now to our screen. And this is just, this is the ALA website that was mentioned earlier. dia.ala.org where you can get lots of information about it. And then of course the Pat Mora website that was being shown earlier as well will get you a patmora.com. Will get you lots of resources as well. So you can see here, there's the resources section, all these different tabs, the ones that Catherine was talking about to take a look at different things you do for celebrations, specific resources for parents or anyone who's supporting the program, resources that you can use to create a program at your library. And they do have a section here I see here for registering so they want to keep track and you'll let them know if you're doing something. So you can see what's going on around the country for these different programs. And then next year you'll have even more ideas about what you can do for your dia. Because I'm great all about borrowing. Oh, absolutely. Okay, any last words Naomi or Willa? No, thank you for the time. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Okay, well, thank you everyone for attending this morning. Got a lot of good ideas and resources here, a lot of things to think about. There is still I think lots of time to definitely to put something together for this year even. You can get some things and simple things, quickly food related, music related. And I know the Humanities Council, Council, the Nebraska Humanities Council that Willa mentioned at the ending there was is there's a lot of different speakers. So there'd definitely be something I would recommend taking a look at and contacting them for this. They could definitely help you out. So that will wrap it up for today. Oh, Willa and Naomi and Sally, we got a few more thank yous coming in. Thanks for the great ideas. So thank you very much for attending. Thank you very much for presenting everyone. Catherine, I believe a Sally, Naomi and Willa. We'll hope you'll look at those resources. And also I hope you will join us next week when our actually Sally will be back. Yes, I will. Yes. Next week's Encompass Live is Dig into Reading, the summer reading program, 2013.  I'll be talking about books from preschool age through young adults. So the young adult theme is Beneath the Surface. I'm not talking about the adult theme, but that is groundbreaking reads just in case you wanted to know. Yes, if you wanna expand into that. I like that they do the adults thing now too for the summer reading program. It doesn't have to be just the younger people. Everyone should be reading. That's right. I need to read more. All year round. So hopefully you'll join us next week for that Encompass Live with Sally again. And Encompass Live is on Facebook, as you can see here. So if you are a Facebook user, I hope you will join us there. We do put announcements up here when a new episode is coming up, when the recordings are ready. So you can keep track what we're doing here via Facebook if you do use that. You can see here I announced one this morning was coming up. Join us right now. So here, then that we are wrapped up for this morning. Thank you very much for attending and we'll see you next week. Bye.


And so that's five. I actually have a six one I said that it was five in the original because it's cool to have the number five in the title of What you're talking about, but I actually have six here. I actually have six here six is polarity and Polarity is something that I was actually talking to this guy that I met some dude randomly today And we were talking about the idea of polarity These are the kinds of conversations that I have with normal people So we're the the idea of polarity is if you want to attract a masculine man Connect with your feminine energy if you want to attract a feminine man Connect with your masculine energy and polarity is beautiful, right? It's it's really powerful and it can actually be really powerful and this is kind of more of an advanced thing But it can be really powerful inside of itself, right like a masculine energy man Showing a motion or showing his feminine side, right through this kind of container of him being a masculine man can be Incredibly attractive like a lot of women say that it's really really attractive and it it can be the same thing with a woman being inside of her feminine and you know Kind of having this container of being feminine and then using kind of different masculine aspects inside of this container of being feminine Which if you don't really understand what I'm talking about when I say that just don't even worry about it But polarity is beautiful, right being in the middle is not it's it's boring. It's dull being in the middle is just it doesn't get any attention it doesn't get any love it's it's it's boring and the polarity creates creates a lot of passion in a relationship and if you really want to connect with a man and You want him to kind of see you and experience kind of this beauty in you Connect with your if you're trying to connect with a masculine man Connect with your feminine side and if you're trying to connect with the feminine man connect with your masculine side And I've seen both work. So, you know, you shouldn't hate on Feminine men or masculine women because it's You know, it works for them if they're into that and I've seen it work. I know friends. I have friends that are in Marriages where they're experiencing that
