We most recently covered the remarkable discovery, fortunately made in the presence of numerous parties from a number of international research panels, including media personnel. Fortunate for reasons we previously covered in our last video regarding the difficulty when such an event occurs in such a situation to suppress it in the modern age, and the subsequent unusual characteristics of said discovery. A discovery the world has been fortunate to witness, further cementing mounting evidence for the past existence of an ancient giant civilization. With this next discovery, although completely different in characteristics, we feel its scale alone with other intriguing features makes it as equally perplexing, an apparent polar opposite approach in some areas such as methodology and symbology, even including stone selected. But another enigmatic mystery currently sprouting up all over the Giza Plateau. What we found initially interesting was, just like the other enormous tomb we have covered prior, its sheer size, estimated at nearly 9 feet tall and 3.5 feet wide just on the insides, amazingly. It also initially appeared and was initially presumed to have still somehow been a mysteriously hermetically sealed tomb. This is where the open presses line runs out, unfortunately. For although it would seem the sarcophagus has indeed been opened, it has been done privately by the Smithsonian Institute. The details of what was found inside, what sort of remains, and indeed their claimed identity, continue to be a closely guarded secret and a subject of hot debate. The Smithsonian merely stating, further examinations on the body found inside are being conducted. According to the head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, quote, there has been a remarkable find in the coastal city of Alexandria. During a routine excavation, experts uncovered a baffling Ptolemaic stone sarcophagus. It has been hailed as a major find, as it can provide insights into the great Hellenistic period in Egypt and its unique culture, end quote. Regardless of academic historians and certain institutions, instantly pushing the notion that they know all about this incredible find, and also what exactly could have been found within that black sarcophagus, we find the ordeal highly compelling.


We spoke about a different kind of randomized strategy in the context of IIEFG in the previous module. So that randomized strategy is called the behavioral strategy and we have also seen what relationship it has with the mixed strategy that we are more comfortable with. We have discussed that in larger detail earlier. Now why is behavioral strategy desirable particularly in the case of extensive form games? It is more natural in larger IIEFGs. Players generally plan at a stage at an information set level rather than having a master plan over all the possible strategies starting at the very beginning if the game is long enough. And also from a computational viewpoint it is a smaller number of variables to deal with. So let's for an example pick a player who has four informational sets and in each information set it has two actions each. Then in order to describe the mixed strategies you will need some 2 to the power 4 minus 1 variables because you will have to first list down all possible strategy profiles for that player which will be 2 to the power 4 and because they will all sum to 1 the number of independent variables will be 2 to the power 4 minus 1. So this many number of variables and the numbers will increase as you have exponentially increase as you have more number of information sets. While for behavioral strategy you will only need 4 variables because at every round you are going to toss a coin and taking the action accordingly. So both from the point of view of the cognitive limits of the players and also from the point of view of computation behavioral strategy is more desirable. Now the question becomes moot if we have an equivalence for both these two type of strategies. If it was always possible to find a behavioral strategy for any game for any IIEFG for any kind of mixed strategy then we can equivalently talk about behavioral strategies on mixed strategies. But in this module we are going to discuss that it is not always true that you can construct one from the other for any kind of game. So let us start with the first example and we will discuss 2 examples in both these cases the players are sort of forgetful of different kind we will see. So if we look at this game so notice that this is a very special game where player 1 is actually playing in both these rounds. So what is happening is that first player 1 picks either an action L1 and R1 then it forgets which action it has picked whether it has picked L1 or R1. So therefore this information set arises that is one at this second level does not remember whether it has played L1 or R1. So therefore in this information set its action set will be the same L1, L2 and R2 and therefore if you want to represent this in the form of a mixed strategy of course you will have to keep all these numbers here L1, L2, R1, R2, R1, L2 and R1, R2 as we have done before. However for behavioral strategies you just need 2 numbers so B, B1, L1 and B2, L2 the other one will be just 1 minus that. Now the mixed strategy seems to have more control over this profiles so for instance if we look at the case where sigma 1, L1, R2 so we can actually put the probability must directly on to this outcome so L1, R2 so this outcome here so at this node we can put a probability mass of 0. Similarly for R1, L2 this outcome also we can actually put a probability mass of 0. Now is this possible to do in the case of behavioral strategy? So what does it mean? So what we are doing is we are putting probability 0 on these 2 numbers this and this and we are putting some positive numbers for these 2 things. So which automatically means that you will have to put some positive masses so if you have to find an equivalent behavioral strategy you will have to put some positive masses on both R1 and L1 you cannot do it otherwise because both L1, L2 and R1, R2 are positive. But at the same time because L1, L2 is also positive so you will have to put positive masses here as well as because R1, R2 is positive you will also have to put positive masses here. So the very fact that you have put positive masses on this 4 edges here the behavioral strategy will also put positive masses on these numbers. You cannot really ensure that these 2 numbers become 0 while here you will get positive masses and that is the difference. So we cannot really represent this kind of a mixed strategy in the form of a behavioral strategy. There is no equivalent behavioral strategy for this mixed strategy. Okay so that is the first example mixed strategy with no equivalent behavioral strategies. The second example is a forgetfulness of a different kind. So here player 1 is again playing first and also playing in the second round. But the point is these 2 nodes in the game tree are connected in an information set which means that player 1 has actually forgotten whether it has played at all or not. So that is a simple way of saying this. So it has played and then at this point if it is unsure whether it has played or not then only it can be connected with a dotted line. So therefore it cannot distinguish between these 2 things. Now here what can happen? So if you are talking about behavioral strategies then it is defined on every node in the information set. So earlier we haven't made it so fine-grained because we never had this kind of examples. So we have only defined the behavioral strategies at a specific information set. But the behavioral strategy can be defined at every node of this game tree. Even if 2 different nodes in this game tree are at the same information set. So we can define the, so what player 1 will do under a behavioral strategy is at this node it will toss a coin and pick L or R which will be given by the corresponding probability masses of this behavioral strategy. Similarly when it reaches this it tosses the same coin because it is the same behavioral strategy it is under the same information set and it goes either L or R based on the outcome of that coin toss. Now what you can observe is that under that behavioral strategy it is possible. So let's say it is half and half. So you can just toss an unbiased coin and that gives half and half. Then in the second round also you are tossing the same coin with probability half and half. So there is a possibility that you will take this path L and R with probability one fourth. But there is no such mixed strategy because mixed strategies are defined based on the PO strategies and what are the PO strategies that are available to player 1 in this case? Only L and R. There is nothing like L, R or L, L in this case. So in this particular case the behavioral strategy is giving you more flexibility than the mixed strategy. So mixed strategy in the mixed strategy world choosing some probability on L means you are going all the way here and choosing R at this node means that you are reaching here. There is no way you can reach this under the under a PO strategy and therefore you cannot reach there with you can reach only this node with zero probability under the mixed strategy. So that is the example where behavioral strategy does not have an equivalent mixed strategy. Think about it. So both these examples are forgetfulness of a different kind. First example the player remembers that it has made a move but forgets which move it has made. In the second example it has actually forgotten whether it has made a move or not. So that is two different kinds of forgetfulness. So this equivalence as we have seen does not hold if the players are forgetful. Now let us dissect the second example a little more so that we can actually save some results about when the behavioral strategy does not have any equivalent mixed strategy. So if we look at the previous example that we have an if we have a specific node let's say non-root node and we are taking the action. So let's say we have a specific node here and we are looking at the path that it takes let's say this particular example may have some other nodes up there. So there is some root above and you are just looking at the path from that root to a specific node here and it is passing through the same information set twice and in the way from its unique path to from the root to this node let's say this is this is my destination node and this path is coming from the root to here. There are two different nodes let's say x and x1 where it is actually intersecting with the same information set and the actions that have been taken in these two different nodes are different. So at this x you are taking the action l and at x1 you are taking the action r. If this happens then you can never ensure an equivalent behavioral equivalent mixed strategy for behavioral strategy on this kind of games. So essentially it is sort of formalizing the example that we have we have just seen so you can formally state in the form of a lemma. So there if there exist a path from the root to some vertex x that passes through the same information set at least twice and if the action leading to x is not the same at each of those vertices then the player of the information set has a behavioral strategy that has no equivalent mixed strategy. So the lemma helps us in proving the following characterization result of equivalence and I am not going to prove this here you can read it. So this is theorem 6.11 of the Maschler's book. So consider an imperfect information extensive form game such that every vertex has at least two actions. Every behavioral strategy has an equivalent mixed strategy if and only if each information set of a player intersects every path emanating from the root at most once. So it is essentially ruling out the situation that we have just seen. If that does not happen then you can always ensure that there exist an equivalent mixed strategy and a behavioral strategy. So you have an equivalent mixed strategy for a behavioral strategy. This is a necessary and sufficient condition for that to happen.


in each of your names, and if you could just share whether or not you are here, that will help us determine that we do have a quorum for this one o'clock meeting today. So I'm gonna start at the beginning. Trustee Albrink. Trustee Camp. Here. Trustee Donahue. Trustee Gravara. Trustee Manchin. And I believe that Trustee Manchin is here. I'm just wondering if you need to unmute your microphone. Here, can you hear me now? Yes, we can hear you now. Thank you. Okay. Trustee Norman. Trustee Quinn is here. Trustee Speth. Here. And Trustee Welton. Present. Great. Thank you all with all of those that are here virtually and physically in the room. We do have a quorum, so I do call our meeting to order. If you could please rise and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. The United States of America. And to the reformation of the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, everyone. That was well done in a very unique way. So maybe we'll have a chance to practice that the next time we do a virtual meeting. But thank you. At this time, on our agenda, we do have 1.3 public comments. And we do not have any public here at this time. So I'm moving on now to our minutes under 1.4. These were the minutes from our board meeting of March 18. Would someone like to make a motion? And if you would, if you could say your name first, that would be helpful. This is Kyle Welpin. I so move. Thank you. Could someone say their name and second it, please? This is Nancy. I could second it. OK, I believe I heard Nancy mentioned second it. I think I heard someone else as well. But for the record, we'll have Nancy mention second our minutes. Any discussion under our minutes? All those in favor of the minutes, please state aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. And at this time, if you would like to take the time to mute your phones, we will then continue on to the next order of business on our agenda. Under 2.1, update on services. I plan to, before I turn it over to Garrett, I would just like to share a few words in regards to this very unique time that we're in. And I just wanted to really thank all of you as trustees and library employees for your patience as we've been navigating through this very unique time and still trying to provide excellent library services online. And I just wanted to make a personal point of just sharing that I've been so impressed with the leadership of library director Garrett Erickson, managers Melissa Prentice and Cheryl Nussman, Debbie D'Amico, and the entire Meade Public Library staff. I really feel that they are in action of what our whole mission stands for, which is creativity, innovation, and really trying to connect our community during this challenging time. So those are just my personal words that I wanted to share before we learn more about how the library is continuing to offer services online. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to library director Garrett Erickson. And so, am I actually running from green? Apparently, when you get a green light, it's... Let me press it again. He'll light up here and then just press on. Oh, now I'm red. Okay. All right, we're learning how to make the system work. So, Garrett Erickson. Thank you, Maeve. I'm actually going to have Melissa start off this report and since her staff is really innovating by the day and sort of learning new digital platforms and so on, I'm going to have Melissa start. If there's anything I can fill in towards the end, I will jump in as well. So, Melissa, are you ready to give this report? It says public services manager. And first, I just want to publicly acknowledge and express my gratitude for the overall positivity and adaptability of our public services staff. It's hard to believe it's only been two weeks since we closed to the public and just one week of all of us working from home. During that time, our staff has responded readily to the rapidly changing nature of their work. We've spent the better part of this week learning, using troubleshooting, new remote work technologies, tools and content delivery system, including calendars and schedules, work logs, staff logs, online meeting platforms, remote phone and chat services, and even learning how to do video production from our homes so we can deliver programs remotely. And I just wanted to say an especially big thank you to Chase and Annalisa for being pilots really and getting all of our staff up to speed on these things. So, with that said, a few specifics on some of the stuff we're working on. So, we are still providing reference services and other assistance to our patrons via phone, email and chat services. Those services are available Monday through Friday from nine to five. While we are certainly not seeing the same volume we would be if we were open, there's been a steady and daily inflow of patron interactions, primarily assistance with online card registration and accessing our e-contents. Additionally, we are developing and delivering programs and community engagement as much as we can while we're closed. A few examples, we hosted our first online book club last week and our staff is also updating our blog several times a week to highlight specific titles and resources from our digital collection. I'm sure you've seen some of those on our Facebook page already. We did a couple posts including digital cookbooks that cover food storage and cooking on a budget, feel good movies, stress management for parents, gale courses and just this week we're adding little revs ukulele classes will be offered via Facebook Live for the entire month of April. And that starts tonight actually at six 15 and every Thursday throughout the month. We're also developing some children's programming like story times that will be shared on Facebook. And Josh has been queuing up all of this content to share in such a way that we don't overwhelm our feed or inundate off our followers but it will still be a steady flow of content coming out. So in addition to that, our reference team is working on developing some COVID-19 related FAQs and guides to post on our Facebook page but also on the doors of our building to share with food pantries and shelters as well. Knowing that many of the folks in our community do not have access to the internet or other reliable sources of information due to housing insecurity and other factors. We want to be sure that we're providing this content in a technology free format as well. So this would include info from county and state health departments as well as information on food housing and healthcare resources as well as information on the stimulus checks and expanded unemployment benefits. So that's sort of the public-facing stuff we're working on but in addition to that, staff are also continuing their collection development work. We're sort of preparing and rethinking our plans for summer and fall programming and taking on some database cleanup projects in Polaris. And just one final thing I wanted to share was some of our e-content stats from the last two weeks. So our streaming services, which is Hoopla and Canopy, saw over 100 new users in a two-week period with circulations up by about 200 overall from February. And then Overdrive, that's the e-book platform that she used Libby to access. Our certs have been up by 300 and our new users have doubled when we compare that number with March of last year. And finally, Easy Proxy, which is the way people log in for our other resources like Rosetta Stone, Ancestry, Consumer Reports, New York Times, that sort of thing. Those unique logins were at 573 this March compared to 209 last March. So that is a 174% increase. So those are all my updates unless anyone has questions for me. Thank you, Melissa. Does anyone have any questions for her at this time? And please remember to share your name first. All right, I think I'm gonna call on Garrett Erickson. And I think I know what button I'm supposed to push. And I just wanted to add one thing that Chase is actually working on, our IT guy. We are in the process of moving our access points from within the building to the west side of the building, which is on facing the parking lot so that if people want to use the wireless service during the day, they can. And they could do it from the safety of their own car. So we know that a lot of people don't have access to the internet, but still use that vital service that we provide. So we are trying to realign physically the wiring and all that. Chase has it all set up and we just simply need to test it before we start to market that. So that should be up and going within a day or so. This is Maeve and I just wanted to echo my thanks to all of the new programming that has been created by the library staff. And the fact that you actually have Josh Linter who can then creatively put it up on various platforms to share the news that we have new online resources. And then of course, none of that would happen if we didn't have our IT specialist Chase really making sure that all of those components can work. So it's really quite wonderful to witness just how well all of you communicate and collaborate together to get good services for our citizens. And if there's no other comments, I will move then on to 2.2 human resource policy changes. Okay, I think we'll move on to 2.2 and I'm gonna turn this over again to Garrett Erickson. And so this has been an incredibly fast paced bunch of changes, not only last week where we waiting to hear what the state, after the state had made, Governor Evers had made his change to stay at home but then the federal government was working on their own set of guidelines and laws and then just working at this from a local level as well. There was so much going on all at once. And so locally here we were trying to follow what the federal government was going to do. And so we do have a policy change that we'll talk about momentarily. We'll have Administrator Hofflin speak. I just wanted to say before that everyone needed within the city, according to the, I believe the federal government, Administrator Hofflin needed to make choices on who is deemed essential versus non-essential. And so a lot of this policy that Darrell will talk about is pertains to the library specifically because we have, we're the one department that has quite a few part-time people and in this case they were deemed non-essential. And by doing that, this is a group of people that mostly shelves physical items within the library. And so at this point we don't have a lot for them that they can do from at home. And so this particular policy especially affects those folks that weren't deemed essential. So I'm gonna turn it over to Darrell and he can talk about the new policy that he and Chuck and some others authored, Vicki, as well. Thank you, Director Erickson. As you correctly identified, the city wanted to encourage employees to be part of our overall city of Sheboygan family and we wanted to make them whole during this difficult time as a result. In addition to incorporating some of the federal law in creating a sort of a master or a comprehensive policy, we wanted to address specifically the issue of employees who were deemed non-essential using federal and state standards or definitions and really come up with something we thought would address at least the short-term goal of the city to make these employees whole who are non-essential and no longer have the ability to provide work for us. Again, these employees are not telecommuting. The city decided late last Friday to place and create policy really to mimic the state of Wisconsin, what the governor has put in place for those employees, including University of Wisconsin employees and that was a category that we refer to as COVID leave. 80 hours was identified and placed into that policy and as I mentioned, it was issued late last Friday. We know that for many employees, those two weeks come and go fairly quickly so already we are receiving questions from those employees and those that are in our payroll as to what will happen after the two weeks is over. The city staff has been discussing now for a couple weeks the possibility should there not be further sort of direction that we can mimic by the state of Wisconsin that we will consider and what I wanna discuss with you today is the possibility or probability that we will, unless again, we receive further identification by the state in 80-20 split, whereby 80% of the city, 80% of the staff's time, whether they're full or part-time status, will continue and will continue to be in essence and administrative leave category. What we're asking the employees to do on the 20% is to assign their discretionary or vacation PTO. We also recognize for some employees, those hours may be limited or the employees as a result may be being new to the organization. And so we also want to identify that should they find themselves in position of having zero leave status, especially for vacation PTO that we will consider and will allow them to in essence borrow into the next calendar year, 2021. Now I'm giving you an ideas to the draft language that we're working on. As you can imagine, we continue to receive updates from the federal government and state. My concern is not making almost daily updates to our policy, which creates even more confusion and uncertainty. As an example, we received an update earlier today from Derek Mink, our Shoreline Metro director of some new federal legislation or directives, which we will have to incorporate into our policy, which deals specifically with transit related employees. As I mentioned, we originally piggybacked at least for this week and next week, 80 hours of administrative leave consistent with the state of Wisconsin for their employees. I put a call and talked with some state officials asking them what happens after the 80 hours are up for state employees. Are they going to add an additional 80 hours or additional number of hours? So I'm waiting for that call back. So unless we receive further identification from the state, no doubt the city has the ability to be independent. But at this point, our draft language is an 80% additional administrative leave asking the employees to sort of share in our effort by identifying, let's make the numbers easy on a 40 hour work week. 32 hours would be an additional administrative leave beyond the 80 that's already been identified. And we would ask the employees to add to that 40 hours, eight hours of an assignment or allocation of their vacation or discretionary PTO bank. Vicki, I know as acting HR director, you've been working with me on this. Any thoughts or comments that you have? I think you covered it, Darrell. The two weeks just for clarity began on Monday, so the 30th and we'll go through April 10th or 11th, that's Saturday, that's the end of our next pay period, but most people would be on that Friday date. We do expect that things will change probably within these next two weeks. So all employees will be covered per the norm for their payroll period. And then looking to April 13th would be the start of this 80% city supported, 20% employees supported through their vacation time. We expect this to go perhaps through the 24th, but maybe even until April 30th, depending on if Governor Evers matches what President Trump has suggested that April 30th would be the date. Again, we are paying attention daily, sometimes hourly to the changes that are coming out as far as what guidance we have. We have many resources to use for understanding the different policies and legislation that are coming through. It has been our effort from the beginning to ensure that our employees, no matter where they are located, are kept whole and to relieve as much anxiety for them through this period of time. And I'm very grateful for the administration to be able to say that, that we do support our whole family of city employees because it's unknown territory and we are concerned about everyone's welfare. If you have any questions. This is Maeve Quinn. Thank you both for sharing some comments. I'm just gonna turn this back over to Daryl Hofflin because he has something he'd like to add. Yeah, thank you, Chair Quinn. The goal really of the city is not to place any employees into a position of having to file for unemployment. We want to keep them on the payroll and so we're working very hard to find a way to make that happen. Thank you, this is Maeve Quinn speaking again. I just wanted to share some information that I had shared in an email to all of my trustees that within the city of Sheboygan, Daryl Hofflin as city administrator is determining the policy for all the city employees. This is not a policy that he needs to bring forward to the city council to get approval. And so it was my thinking that that's very much in line with having Garrett Erickson as library director oversees the employees within Meade Public Library. In conversation with Chuck Adams, our city attorney, he felt that it would be wise that the board of trustees would actually support the decisions that Garrett Erickson would have following this policy or perhaps a different policy. But our city attorney has shared that he thinks beneficial that the library board does weigh in on the actual policy. And I wanted to share with all of you that I'm sorry that the eight page rough draft document has not been shared with you at this point in time. We had hoped to do that prior to our original virtual meeting on Friday, which we then canceled, because we didn't think with the latest information coming from Washington DC and the new bill and everything, we knew that the city policy would have to be changed anyways, so we deferred our meeting to this week. In looking at the policy on Friday is when we noticed that in the eight page document, there was no mention of what I think is a very unique plan to offer 80, 20%. And it was then shared that that was an omission just because there was so much important information to get into the policy. So it is my understanding that the language that Delhauffin has just commented on as well as Vicki Schneider, that that is what will be added into the policy. At this point, I don't have a copy of it myself. So we're just getting this information verbally from both of them. And I appreciate having both of them come to the meeting to share that with us. Delhauffin would like to speak at this time. So thank you for your comments and continued support. If Garrett hasn't already done so, by all means, we will make sure that electronic copy is available. So library board of trustees, members can receive a copy of their own. What we can do as well is we can share with you the draft version so you can see we have kind of a track change format so you can see the changes that we are proposing to make at this time. Again, I caution you in that it is only a draft. As I mentioned, we're getting pressure from our payroll department to implement as soon as possible so they can start changing the payroll software. And again, begin to alert staff just because I know that there is a lot of anxiousness deservedly so out there. So again, I anticipate within a day we will probably firm up these changes and go ahead and make the announcement and distribute the revised pandemic or contagious illness policy that incorporates some of the issues that we're talking about today. Thank you. This is Maeve Quinn. I'm just turning it over to Garrett Erickson to see if he has any additional words and we're attempting to make it work. Okay, we got it now. I don't have anything to add about the policy itself. I guess I just would like to hear from the rest of the trustees if they think that's a fair plan. And at this time, I believe a phone is ringing but I don't know what that means. I'm looking over at the technology experts but at this time, if there's any board of trustee member that has a comment or a question, please share your name and go ahead and state your question or comment. Thank you. This is Mary Lynn. Hello. Greetings all. I just wanted to follow up as your older liaison that I, I think that this policy which was really put together with of course, lightning speed really is ascending in the very best way we can to all of the needs of our employees and to the public that we serve. And so I'm, it's my hope that we will all be supportive of it. These are just crazy, crazy, tough, very, very tough time. And I know that we all have families who have stories of hardship and danger and anxiety but under the circumstances, I think this is terrific. So I also just wanted to say in response to all of the activities that Melissa reported, the staff is just doing an extraordinary job.  And so just overall, I'm hoping that there's good support for this. Thanks. Thank you, Mary-Lynn. Anyone else like to share their thoughts or any questions you might have? So at this point, I'm assuming no one has any question or comment if you have been sharing and it might mean that your phone is on mute. So I'm gonna give you a moment to unmute yourself and just see if you do have a question or comment. This is Kathy, can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you, thank you. Okay, go ahead, I just can't tell if it's muted or unmuted. So I'm trying to understand how this changed from what we had thought before because it was still kind of in process. Is the 80-20 thing the change that up until, our first impression was that it was gonna be less or more and then at week three it changes. I'm just trying to understand what is the new information. So this is Vicky. So this is Maeve. I guess what I can share is that when we began these initial conversations about what the city plan would be, the conversation shared the idea of the 80-20 compensation plan. So that is what we thought we would be seeing in the plan on Friday. We were hoping we would have a meeting on Friday, but it seemed because of the federal bill being passed, I think Thursday or Wednesday, the city just needed more time to incorporate all of that good information. When the policy did come out on Friday, it did not include the 80-20 and that was, from my understanding, they shared it was an oversight. And so now they are still working because there's still new information being shared that needs to be part of this eight page policy. They are hoping to, you know, put it together in the next day or two it sounds like and then that will incorporate the, any new information as well as any omissions and it's my understanding that that policy will have the 80-20. And that's, I'm sorry for the confusion, but this process has been a little challenging with all the new information coming from Washington DC. And I am now going to turn it over to Daryl Hofflin because he looks like he has a question or a comment that might illuminate this a little bit further. Thank you, Chair Quinn. The challenge with this new program, the new programs and the directives given by the federal government is that oftentimes we're hearing some of the terminology for the first time and unfortunately, fortunately or unfortunately to make the information easy for people to understand, we're using similar terms and I think as a result that's creating, you know, some, it has the potential of creating confusion. So again, I just want to reiterate that the 80 hours that were incorporated into the city's policy are in addition to anything that's been identified by the federal government. As an example, for employees that are affected by the closing of schools, closing out a childcare provider have symptoms associated with COVID-19. There is an identification in that new federal legislation of employees, again, I think 500 employees or less, employers with 500 employees or less providing two weeks of leave, paid leave. And then I think like a two thirds after that, the 80 hours that the city incorporated into his policy late Friday is in addition to that federal legislation, a completely separate program, completely paid for and with the discretion by the city. So again, we know that if there's, we know under this really an extension or enhancement of the Family Medical Leave Act is really what the federal government's policy is working from. But the 80 hours that we incorporated into the policy late Friday is completely separate from any federal directives, hours, benefits identified and is, as I mentioned, similar to what the state of Wisconsin did as the state is an employer. They went out on their own, created this 80 hour bank of hours and we decided to mimic that not that we were required to or forced to at the state level. So again, we're looking at beyond this next pay period which assumes that if an employee is full time, they would have exhausted that initial 80 hours. And so that's where we're looking at this 80, 20 split going forward beyond. I think it's as Vicki mentioned on April 13th, we would start this 80, 20 split. Hopefully my additional comments are helpful. Going back to Kathy, did you have any questions or comments based on what you just heard? No, no, that helped because I just wasn't understanding the evolution of this. But it seems like a good fair thing for our employees. I guess I am just curious, is the library the main entity where this is such an important issue are there other city employees who are also facing the same kind of quandary being sort of in a non-essential state? I think I can answer that in looking on how city employees were classified in our city, I think we have probably more employees that have been classified as non-essential and probably more that are part-time even though for our employees, for a lot of them it's their sole source of income. So it's a real hardship for them if we don't put together a policy that can help them during this challenging time. But I don't know if Vicki or Vicki... I can speak to that. We have, so I don't like the term non-essential, just to say, but I think we did create a chart looking at job responsibilities and so there's really two components to it. Could you be classified as emergency responder, essential, non-essential, but also could you do perform work at home or not through telecommuting or some kind of project work? And so I'm actually happy to say, and I shared this with Darryl, that through this exercise of doing this, that we discovered that the city runs pretty lean and there are very few employees who are actually in fall in that classification of non-essential and cannot telecommute in some kind of way. So it has affected transit workers because of reduced schedule. It affects a custodian at the senior activity center because we're not cleaning the building and he cannot do that work at his home. It is mostly, again, library employees and everyone else for the most part has been able to pick up projects or do things outside of their normal duties and we are also looking at ways that we perhaps can use pages for special projects that maybe are outside the library realm but might help other departments for those projects that you can never quite get done. So everyone in my opinion is essential to the good of the community. It's just a really unfortunate kind of term that is used. I guess this is Maeve. I concur with the unfortunate term and if librarians were in charge of this bill all of the terms and all of the acronyms would make sense but I guess we can't send our librarians to Washington DC to help at this time. So thank you for your comments. Are there any other questions or comments regarding this policy? This is Cheryl Nussman, support services manager. So the pages fall under my department and I just wanted to let everybody know that we have been able to find some limited work for these people to do from home. Not enough to cover their full schedule for a week but about half of that. Not sure when that work is gonna run out but we're giving them what we can right now and our idea behind doing that was to take those COVID-19 leave hours that they could take and extending that out to the full four weeks. So instead of having them use up all of that leave the first two weeks, spreading it out over the four weeks so that they would not have to go into that 80-20. Oh, thank you Cheryl. I also, this is Maeve speaking, not following my own rules here, sorry. I just wanted to thank you Cheryl too for the incredible list of projects and things that you and your staff have come up with to really continue to provide services but not only that, really build the knowledge and skill of our staff. I really was impressed with the suggestions of various ways that they can be utilizing this time to hone their skills so that they have more to offer us when they come back into our building. So I'm planning to share your long list with our trustees after this meeting but I was most impressed with the creativity and just how amazing our library is gonna be when we get to open the doors again. So thank you. At this time is there any? I do have one question. This is Kathy Norman. My question is when the library reopens and the drive-throughs are open and just a huge amount of books get returned all at once because everybody's waiting and due dates are long past, isn't there gonna be a whole bunch of extra work for the pages to do? I can't help thinking that maybe some hours get made up on the back end that get lost on the front end because there's gonna be so much work to do for the first few weeks we're back open. That's an interesting idea and I'm turning it right over to Garrett Erickson. There we go. So I know Cheryl's been doing a lot of planning with her staff thinking about this very issue, Kathy. One of the things we're talking about is not requiring people to bring it all back the day the library opens but over the course of basically a week and hopefully by staggering it that would help a little bit. Cheryl, did you wanna chime in on other ideas? I know that's the main one we've been talking about. Right, so this is Cheryl. And this question is going across Monarch and libraries across the U.S. right now, if not the world. So my own personal thoughts on it are to extend our due date out at least two weeks beyond the days that we open up to the public and that we actually open up our drives through book drops before we open to the public to kind of widen that window that people have of returning their items. That said, we know we're still gonna get slammed. So we are going to be reducing project work or extra work that they might have been doing on mending books or other things and really just kind of double up staffing on that book return process and reshelving everything like that. I do, that's an interesting idea though about maybe it's hard to predict if we would need those extra hours, but maybe we can think about giving ourselves that buffer of saying, well, we're going to pay these people ahead of time, maybe give them an extra if they're only able to, if they're getting, they're into that 80-20, maybe instead of having them take vacation for that 20, we're tracking that as far as how many hours that is and then having them work those extra hours once we're back open or once we've started opening up. Yeah, because then we have a better chance of making them whole. I mean, that is if they can work those extra hours once we open back up, but I just think there's gonna be at least in the short term, a lot of extra work that's gonna need to be done. Yeah, so maybe we'd have to talk to Vicki about that at a later time to see if that's something we can do. And it's almost like you had a miracle ball and noticed that Vicki was waving her hand at me, wanting to chime in on the conversation. So I'm gonna turn this over to Vicki Schneider. I just have one thing as a caution about this because we were talking about this in a different context among my HR team that we have to be careful because of the way that your employees are classified that they do not go over a certain number of hours in the past 52 week periods so that you could change your whole classification whether it's benefits and such things, which could, some benefit changes are permanent changes then. So just to be aware of that. So if somebody goes over their 20 hours consecutively or consistently that could cause a different kind of concern. So just so you're aware. Thank you for that. Any other last questions or comments? This is Debbie speaking. I am tracking the pages hours so that we don't go over that limit. We know how many hours they need to stay under. And I think we have a little bit of a cushion there but we can talk about that at the time. All right, thank you. Any other questions or comments? I'm just wondering if someone would like to move to authorize library director Garrett Erickson to determine the contagious temporary illness policy from Mead Public Library. Which is probably welcome after a move. Is there a second? Is there a third? Second. Is there any further discussion? This would allow Garrett to receive the updated version and he can make a determination whether or not the policy reflects the conversations that we've had and that we think it's in the best interest of our city employees that work in the library. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you everyone that will allow us to maybe not have to meet next week. So I appreciate that. And thank you to Darrell and Vicki for joining our meeting in person from more than six feet away. So I appreciate it. All right, moving on then to 2.3 building projects because just because there's a COVID-19 pandemic it doesn't mean that our library isn't constantly thinking ahead. So I'm gonna turn this over to Garrett Erickson on the building projects. Okay, this is Garrett and I'll just start this conversation off. I'm actually gonna have Cheryl mainly and a little bit of Debbie helping us out as well. But the thought here is that right now we're closed to the public and for the most part we don't have many staff in the building either. We have generally a half dozen or so staff in the building each day. So if we are able to get some contractors in it's a great time for us to make some physical changes in the building with nobody there. And so we did send out a list of four projects I believe and we're gonna have Cheryl and Debbie go through each of those projects for you. So at this time Cheryl is gonna speak first I believe. Go ahead. Thank you. Sure, this is Cheryl. So for many of these projects we have mentioned at previous board meetings so they should be somewhat familiar to you. The first one that is listed though is we are going to be, what we'd like to do is switch out our current fluorescent lighting that we have in our stairways and outside of the building and change that over to LED lighting. This in the long run will probably save the library quite a bit of money. But what we're looking at doing is again stairway lighting that's in the main stairway, stairwell that the public uses and then we are also looking at doing the lighting by the front entrance canopy, also the column and our exterior soffit lighting. And that project has been quoted at just over $9,000. Thank you. Are there any questions or comments about those projects from any of my trustees? All right, it looks like maybe Debbie would like to speak next in regards to the projects. Okay, I'm online now. What we're looking at is upgrading all of the administrative office furniture where we have the desk that you can either rise or sit down. Our furniture in here I think has been since the library opened when I was a page in 1974. And seeing as we are going to be having the carpet replaced in the downstairs area and maintenance is going to be painting the entire administrative office, we just felt that it was a good time that maybe we could upgrade our furniture and then our fees of it would be completely finished. So. Thank you for that update. Are there any questions or comments for Debbie? This is Kathy, my question is just, where is this coming from and the budget? This is, these are all 850 funds. Oh, this is 850. That we're presenting to you. Yep. If you notice on the bottom of this thing, I put what the market was at on 330 because I'm watching the market almost daily between the foundation, the 850 funds and the other trust that is for the library. And so what I did is I extracted these projects and I showed how much as of 30th, that would still be in the 850 funds that are over a million. And then also, I mean, we do have some other projects that are a little more extensive but we thought these were projects that we picked. We could have done while the library closed. The other projects would probably take a little longer time and I'm still getting some additional option quotes on those. All right, that is helpful. Thank you. This is Maeve. Then I think we're going back to Cheryl to talk about interior exterior painting stairwells. Although I think you mentioned that but maybe the metal doors. So project number 10. Sure. So when I spoke before, we were talking about changing out the LED lighting. This is actually painting the stairwells and you're correct. I did mention it at an earlier meeting. Our own maintenance staff is able to do probably 90% of the painting within the building but there are some areas, mainly the stairwells which are going to require some specialized equipment to get to the higher up areas to paint. So we are looking at, let me see here, there's one staff stairwell that we're going to have painted. The main public stairwell, excluding the murals that are there, those will not be touched. And we have a couple of emergency stairwells that had work done on them, I think a couple of years ago. Those right now only have primer on them. So we'd like to put some actual paint on them. And then we were also looking at the staff entrance foyer and 10 exterior doors that need paint. All right, thank you. Any questions about the interior exterior paintings stairwells emergency exit metal doors? Project number 10. Then moving on to the last item, the last project that has been shared with us is project number 15, material return room. And I'm going to turn that over to Cheryl. Okay, so this is the room that we talked about a little bit at our last in-person meeting up in the Roka room. The room will be designed to withstand heat. It says, I think on the plan here, 120, but it's actually 140 degrees. We will be heating the room to what we're calling cleanse items. It will be an eight by eight room located in the page work room where items are returned and checked. And it will include a heater, a fan and an exhaust system. Thank you. I think it's well timed that this was discussed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that just knowing that all those thousands and thousands of books that are going to be returned, that it would be wonderful to have this room up and ready as soon as possible. So I'm really pleased that this is on the list. And I like its new name of material return room. So thank you. Any questions or comments on any one of the four projects that have been shared today? With that, would someone like to make a motion to go ahead and approve these four building projects? I'll move to approve the four building projects. All right, and that is- Can I have a second? Okay, was that Kathy that made the motion? Mm-hmm, yes. Okay, thank you. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries, thank you. Then we just have a couple of quick updates, turning it over to Garrett Erickson on 2.4. As soon as I remember to actually turn his microphone on. Sorry about that. Thank you, Maeve, you've got it. So yes, just a couple of quick updates on 2.4. On Tuesday, the library is still going to be used as a polling station. And so what we'll do is have it, of course, in the Roka Room with the gate down so that no one can go further into the library. So Meredith, our clerk, has been working hard to get polling workers. And we'll be, basically they will be doing most of their own cleaning of the room. I know there's concerns about whether we would need to have extra maintenance staff handling that. We actually, she's not requested that. So they plan on doing their own cleaning of the room. But we will have one or actually both of our maintenance people will be there to be in the building as well as needed, so. Any questions or comments on the polling station at Mead Public Library on Election Day? All right, moving on then to 2.5 personnel update. So then the last 2.5 is we do have one update of a key person that we lost about a week ago. So Don Clister, our security specialist, has taken a job. She's gone back to the women's shelter in town where we actually had taken her from a couple, almost two years ago. And Don will be a manager there. So we are right now trying to think of our strategy when we want to hire, whether it's appropriate to try and hire now or just wait a little bit until this all passes. And so we just wanted to mention Don taking the other job. I know a lot of you have worked with Don and she was excellent at what she did for us. I was very sad to hear this news, but I'm certainly pleased for Safe Harbor because as all of you would probably concur, she is just excellent in her problem-solving skills and her ability to connect with people and helping to empower them to solve problems. So if anything, I think the library certainly learned from her of how this role can just be so beneficial for not only our library staff, but also for all members of our community. So I think it's given us an opportunity to recognize what an important role that is in our library and it didn't exist two years ago. So I think it's gonna be a challenging position to fill but I know we've got high standards and of course, everyone wants to work at the library. So hopefully we'll get lots of interested people when we do get to that point. Any other questions or comments from any of you? Well, this is Kathy. My thought is maybe right now isn't the best time to start looking because people are not even thinking rationally or doing normal job searching, but I also don't think we have to wait until everything is up and running and humming perfectly again. Probably sooner rather than later, get started looking. Like maybe when things start to reopen slowly might be a time to go out and put out the indeed job, you know, start looking, start putting it out there. Thank you for that. Anyone else? So at this point, I just wanna share that most likely we will be doing our next Board of Trustee meeting virtually again on April 23rd at 3.45. Hopefully by then I will know what button I'm supposed to push to let Garrett speak or anyone else. It's quite the system up here on the third floor of City Hall. And at this point in time, the Finance Committee meeting will meet prior, but we will get more information about all of that later in April. At this time, would someone like to make a motion to adjourn? I'll move to adjourn. It's Kathy. Okay. I'll second. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Anyone wants to oppose? All right. Thank you all. Continue to be safe. And I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to have us meet on various important topics. May you and your family and friends stay safe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Maeve.

Hello, I'm Dan Steiner and I'm here to introduce you to Location Intelligence for Business. Location Intelligence for Business extends the application of geospatial intelligence to the business world for competitive advantage. Overall, the course uses geospatial analysis as an advanced process to solve location-based challenges and opportunities. Building on a foundation of geography, intelligence, and business, the lessons offer insights and exercises using a variety of data sources. We analyze demographics and customer preferences, examine zip codes to neighborhoods using data from the latest U.S. Census, and introduce commercial tools to optimize the supply chain. Location Intelligence for Business examines cutting-edge spatial analysis of people, places, and business. Highlights of the course include real-world activities where students evaluate emerging business trends, the Internet of Things, connected sensors, geofencing, like when a retail store digitally connects with frequent shoppers who enter the store. Each semester's term-long project fits topics that interest students which they select. That's a lot to explain in a short video, and I encourage you to please review the course syllabus online. We're really interested to assist you in meeting your graduate education and career goals. I wish you success.


Welcome to the Everton News Daily. Rhaithi Arluson scored twice for Brazil last night as they beat Bolivia 4-0. It's Rhaithi Arluson's third goal in the last two appearances for his national side. Franck Llanpaad will be hoping that he comes back to Finchfarm and continues with that form for Everton. He's only scored one goal this year and that was against Norwich away and no goals in his last nine appearances for Everton. So, the fact that he's got three goals while on international duty will do the Brazilian the world a good. And we need them. We need these goals quite frankly. Nathan Patterson played 57 minutes for Scotland in their 2-2 draw with Austria. Salomon Rondon played for Venezuela but they were beaten 1-0 by Columbia, Hammers, Rodriguez scoring the winner there. Seamus Coleman and Abdelhaid Decorey were both substituted for their sides, didn't get on. Job and Pickford didn't play for England. So, hopefully, Anthony Gordon did play for the under-20 ones. So, all of those players come back to Finchfarm because now it really is huge. The next 11 games, Everton, have got a massive game on Sunday at West Ham United. Neither results, we really do. Franck Llanpaad will be hoping for a clean bill of health for them. Obviously, we heard the news earlier in the week. Yeti Minas began like trainers or that's good news as well because we will need everybody for this run-in. If we can get Retialas and scoring goals, we've had Dominic Calvert-Lewin training for the two weeks. No international duty can kind of get fit. We need his goals as well. It can be important, massive news for Everton if they can start scoring goals over the next 11 games. Vitaly Mikolenko has said he's been pleasantly surprised and shocked by the support that he has received while he's been at Everton and particularly due to the ongoing war between Russia and the Ukraine. He said he's come to a new country and has felt the support of the Evertonians. But he's also been surprised by people like Donny van der Beek, who has offered to have a house and put refugees up and other people as well and said the support is overwhelming at times because obviously the world has condemned Russia's invasion or attempted invasion of Ukraine. Mikolenko obviously very early into his Everton career hasn't fully settled in to his time at Everton yet. He's been in and out the side, young lad coming to a new league and then obviously war breaks out as well. So it's been a test and time for the young defender and hopefully he can settle down in this form, can improve and hopefully obviously the conflict between Russia and Ukraine can peacefully come to the end because it shouldn't be happening in 2022 quite frankly. Finally, Southampton and Everton are keen on Brazilian wingatete, that is according to reports coming out of Europe today. The wingatete played for Shakhtar and has scored 10 goals this season, 22 years of age and both Premier League clubs very interested in taking in this summer. It is a bit of a mad report because Everton are blessed in wide areas or certainly have competition in wide areas. Obviously El Garzi will probably go back to Villa, so that will be the end of that one. Whether they are Alex Orwobi stays, who knows in the summer, but there you go. Brazilian wingatete is the latest name to be a track then the interest of Everton and Kevin Thelwell. That's it for the news daily, give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos join us on page and the link is in the description. See you later.


What is your name? What was the problem that you were having? I'm Autumn and my back was hurting, but it doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt no more? Amen. All the glory goes to Jesus. God bless you Adam. What is your name and what was the problem that you were having? My name is Cassia and I had a really, really sore throat and I feel like it's getting better. God bless you. Well, like my teeth were hurting, like all my teeth were hurting and like my tonsils were swollen. I get like really, like my tonsils swell up really fast, if I get sick.  So last year I got this really bad fever and my nose, it like got congested. It sounds gross, but it's, I just like couldn't breathe normally for like a year and a half.  You said you could not breathe normally? What do you mean? Well, I could breathe, but I could feel like it was not all the way. And right now I could feel, I could breathe normally. Really? Can you? So before if you would breathe, you will have pain over here and all that stuff, right? It was okay. That's okay. It's okay. It's fine. God bless you too. My name is Melanie. I just had like a really bad ache in my feet and like it would go up and I prayed and I didn't have any doubts this time and now it's completely gone. Walk in your feeling and she's asleep. My name's Almyra and I had, I was in a car accident last year that like caused a lot of back pain in my upper back and honestly I just, I, you know, wasn't expecting much, but as soon as the prayer was over I felt that all the pain is gone. So praise God. What is your name and what was the problem that you were having? My name is Martin and three weeks ago I hurt my knee really bad in the basketball game.

And I prayed and the heat just come through my body like things got and I believed it.


Spark is a dance-ability program here in New England where the first program teaching this method, which is really exciting, and I started it to be, you know, a new option for serving that minority who I believe is, you know, still very isolated. I had been in dance education for all of my adult life and I was seeking a approach that would be more inclusive of all people. I found that a lot of the typical dance techniques that I had been teaching weren't inclusive of children and adults with disabilities and so I, at this time, I discovered Danceability International, which is an organization that's been around for 30 years. It's all over the world and I got certified to teach their method, which I found was absolutely inclusive and that's what sold me is that you can have students that are blind, students who are deaf with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, all sorts of differences and this method allows for that huge spectrum of differences to exist together. I myself love dance, I'm a choreographer, I'm always looking for ways that dance and specifically the performing arts can be used as vehicles for social change. I think it's really meaningful and important that art still is used for that purpose. So what I noticed about Mitch, my first class with him, is that he says yes to his own instincts a lot. He doesn't second guess his intuition, so that was very refreshing. For me it's actually a skill and improvisation that many people spend decades trying to get to that point and so because he just goes for it and goes for it and goes for it with his own instincts, it was really a joy to work with him and to dance with him because it was like he when he gives other people permission to this do the same. I think dance found Mitch a long time ago this type of expressive dance and he's been doing this for forever, for even like hours, he calls it his workout. Well he has a pretty severe apraxia, expressive apraxia, so he's difficult to communicate with and it's he's difficult to understand. So I think the dance is another way of expressing yourself and getting it out. I think it does in a gasp, I was a dancing king.   Mitch has trouble communicating with people. It's partly the way that his voice works when he speaks often people don't understand what he's saying but he's got a lot going on internally and he's got a lot of desire to connect with people and to share and one of the ways that he connects and he shares is through a variety of nonverbal forms of creativity and communication and music is one of those. He plays guitar and another big one is motion and dance and movement so very regularly he'll start to do these kind of gestures and movements and dance moves and it comes from a really deep part inside of him. This part of him that is so able to go into his body and express himself through movement and play and experimentation all of a sudden he's getting validated through a new context for that. People are seeing his nonverbal forms of communication and telling him that they're astounded at what he's doing and that they're giving him positive feedback about the creative expression that he's doing and that's just been pretty amazing for him because any moment that we can help somebody take the creative expression that they have inside of them that's not typically acknowledged and give them a platform to acknowledge that it's a really special. Mitch's you know vibrant creative he brings an energy that lets you open and connect. There is no what you feel like you need to do as much as you do what you feel. Instead of being in a typical dance class you have your own boundaries and you can even just it's fun because you're with people that you might have never met before and it's a really good inclusion exercise because anyone can do it. So what's really interesting is not only does this method allow for or you know allow and include so many differences it's also designed to be incredibly enriching for professional dancers and professional students of improvisation. One of the hopes is that the experiences like Petra was talking about today like I wouldn't necessarily have been you know friends with it or known the people in this class except we came together and we saw each other and we had this experience together and so now when I see you on the street you know or now I see when there are community there's not this division there's not the separation so that's the hope is that this can carry over outside the I am so excited because really with Kailah and this program we founds like a place where Harper can just bloom and she loves it and I I do I'm trying and I love it and she now she just this totally has motivated her in her she's a freshman at Lincoln Academy and just decided to try out for their guys and dolls and she's going to be on stage tomorrow she's more open to associate with people more open to being around someone she hasn't known for a long time and still she was it's great that they include the special needs kids it's phenomenal I think this is the greatest program I wish it ran all year. Spark has you know given Mitch that opportunity to be expressive and be a dancer in his own community not just on his own you know and that's what we want to just keep doing with all of our students all over Maine you know it's really it's important to bring this work to different places so that we can keep doing that and ultimately we're gonna have a dance company you know that's gonna include individuals like Mitch and really be together and demonstrate what that can can look like. We're really looking to grow our program you know if anyone if there's anyone who would like to get involved either as a teacher as a volunteer as a student if you would like to bring a spark class to your community absolutely get a hold of us sparkdanceprogram.org that's that's what we're doing


It's very close to my heart coming here. It's hard because you see everybody going through a very difficult time and what these kids put up with and the treatments that they go through. They're strong little cookies and sometimes I can't get my head around it, it's difficult so anyway we can give back, that's what it's all about. I've met a range of beautiful children with big personalities and their families have all shared their stories. For me it's really touching and to know that I can have an impact and whether it was a smile, a kick today, sharing a meal, I've had an impact on them and that's something that this game can bring and something I hold very close to my heart. This is my third time at the house for this type of day and I'm really proud that I can come here every year and represent the club. Me and Santa really love coming along to show our support for the kids and the house as well and it's really making a steady progress into the years coming and long may I continue for the club to support the Ronald McDonald house here at Westmead and we're really happy to be here.


What is up everybody, Jason here for JaspysKazeBase.com 23-24, UberDec, SP, Gameuse, Hockey, 2 box break, 4 random teams each, number 12 guys. This is our last two boxes from those ones we took from the show floor, guys, so hopefully there's something big hiding in here and maybe something like this guy here. But remember guys, 4 random teams each per spot, everybody gets 4 random teams in the NHL, and hopefully, yeah, get some big hits. So let's roll. Two times. Snake, guys, one, two. Boom. Jason at the top, down to Tristan. One, two. Ducks, down to Hawks.  All right, Jason with the Ducks and Adelaide's bra with the Penguins, Tristan with the Orders and Knights, Ed with the Nucks and Pretz, Craig with the Stars, Jason with the Sabres, Tristan with the Blue Jackets, Craig with the Panthers. Tristan with the Blues, Ed with the Hurricanes, Tristan with the Yotes, Brian with the Bruins, Tristan with the Canadians, Ed with the Kraken, Craig with the Rangers, Brad with the Capitals, Brian with the Bruins. Tristan with the Jets, Jason with the Flyers, Brad with the Ottawa Senators and Wild, Craig with the Devils, Brian with the Kings, as well as the Flames, Tristan with the Sharks, Allender's Leafs, Lightning and Tristan with the Black Hawks. Yeah, Rex for sure, yeah. No, it was interesting take for sure. I think now that, like you said, the MLB Player Association put out something against the whole thing, I think a lot of old things are popping up from videos of people talking about this or what they feel like is the reason why. I'm trimming the clothes, guys. There we go. Jesus. All right, a thick pack right there, we like those. We like those. Come on, Dano. Don't give Vancouver a power play, you're up 4-1, bro. All right, we got a Charlie McAvoy for Boston. It's going to Brian Heyman and whoa! Is that a redemption? Holy shnikes. I haven't seen Albert Eck Redemption in so long. Who's a redemption of this, guys? I know, yeah, that's true, Rex, that's happened too. Roman Yossi. Brad's going to add. We got Aiden McDonough to 99. New Grooze, Jacob Markstrom, Flames. And then we have a Noah Dobson to 250 with Allender's. So Flames that was Brian, Allender's that's going to Tristan. All right, who's going to, is this going to be Conny Bidad? Someone big, at least? So it is a Draft A Mark's Rookie Autos. So probably not, because Bidad is live in that. And it's Simone Holmstrom. Let's take a look. Why does he not pop out in the SP game, he just. How weird. That is so weird. He doesn't pop up in the checklist, but he is a New York Islander, drafts the 23rd overall. And he's only played for the Islanders, so. Islanders are that one. Islanders, that's going to go to, as New York Islanders, Tristan. Oh dude, yeah. Did you see that Rex, bro?  I did see that, actually. Did he, did he's on edge, bro? I mean, I think all the things that people have been talking about with him over the years because he knows that, there's a lot of proof out there and I think he doesn't know who to really trust anymore. I'm glad the dude, but still, that situation. Crystal Tang for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Bobby McMahon for the Leafs. Then Slapshot for the Capitals mascot. So that's going to go to the Brad and the Washington Capitals, Maple Leafs is Tristan, and then Penguins is Brad again. All right, good luck guys, here we go. Joe Sackic for the Colorado Avalanche. Lucas Kandada to 123 for the Montreal Canadiens as Tristan, and then of course Avalanche, that's going to go to Jason. And then we have authentic rookies. The other Simon, Edvinson, premium patch to 25. Detroit Redwings, go to Brian Heyman. All righty guys, well, did I get another draft day marks?  Hopefully we can get some more SP game news. I think it was really fun to rip, but not the next product release in this black diamond. I'm sure we'll have some of that here. So I appreciate you guys. Thank you guys so much, jaspyscasebreaks.com.


The incubation period for COVID-19 is estimated to be between 214 days and 5 days, with a mean of approximately 5 days. The average time from illness onset to hospitalization or isolation is estimated to be 34 days without truncation and 59 days with truncation. Additionally, the median time delay from illness onset to death is estimated to be 13 days, with a maximum of 17 days if the right tail is truncated. These findings suggest that the recommended quarantine duration should be at least 14 days. This article was authored by Natalie M. Linton, Tatsuro Kobayashi, Ichiyang, and others.


I've been thinking, what is the worst thing that I could possibly do with my favourite classical fantasy novels, and then the answer came to me. I could debase them by simplifying them in a single sentence. Here are five classical fantasy novels in a sentence. The Hobbit A band of burglars sneak up into someone's home with the intent of stealing, recalling in an unsettling way the plot to Home Alone featuring Benedict Cumberbunch, question mark? A Wizard of Earthsea Charmed with confidence issues, summons, scary shadow self, goes to the ends of the earth to discover the shadow was inside him all along. Elric of Melnybonnie and other stories Why is this pale elf so tortured and why am I a little attracted to him? Is it because he reminds me of an English goth chick all brooding like? Because I've always struggled with all, you know, and also the big torture his soul is a pretty cool I wouldn't lie, and they might also be a metaphor about oblivion and the dangers of ultimate power. Yeah, that was a sentence. Alice in Wonderland Nothing I could come up with would be half as wonderfully nonsensical and whimsical as any sentence chosen at random. So here's a direct quote. The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo. What does it mean? And last, but not least, Lord of the Rings. The cousin of a skilled burglar with blood in his hands must face responsibility for the sins of the past in this unexpectedly dark sequel to either Hobbit or Home Alone. Well then, that sure was a ding. I'm sure I won't get any angry fan mail about it, because I don't have any fans. As the beauty of this channel. It has been going on for ages and yet no one knows about it. Well, that's true of the pain. Anyway, I will see you next time. If you enjoyed this video, please like, share and subscribe. We're doing six classical sci-fi novels next Friday, so that's going to be enjoyable in case you wonder why I will be wearing the same tie in that next video. It's because I'm shooting several videos at once. Bye.


Live from Toronto, Canada, it's theCUBE. Covering Blockchain Futurist Conference 2018. Brought to you by theCUBE. Hello everyone, welcome back to theCUBE coverage here in Toronto, Canada, we're in Ontario to the untraceable Blockchain Futurist Conference's day two of two days coverage. I'm John Furrier, your host. Our next guest is serial entrepreneur Chris Harper who's the CEO of Jeriki and Mapo Ventures. And Zip Script. And Zip Strip. Yeah, yeah. Hey, a lot of balls in the air, a lot of irons on the fire, welcome to theCUBE. Hey, good to have me man, I'm excited to be here. This is awesome. Before we get into your serial entrepreneur, what are you working on now? Take a quick minute to explain. Yeah. Where the names came from, what do they mean, what are you doing? So first things first, we'll start with Jeriki. Jeriki is a Japanese proverb which means achieve enlightenment through one's own efforts. So Jeriki's a shell company and we currently run this company, it's called Chase Your Drink. It basically is replacing pop and juice as a mix for any hard liquor. No sugar, no calories, nothing artificial. And the kicker, we got nine B vitamins in these to combat your hangover the next day. So if you're not drinking with Chase, you're drinking wrong. It's a chaser. Chaser, exactly. And these are in stores like, it'll be in Sobeys, Farm Boy in Canada, GNC soon, and it's going really well. Okay, how about the venture firm? Yeah, so the next company is Mapoho Ventures. Mapoho is actually, it comes from a group of lions in the African savannah that were only six lions, but they dominated the savannah for their whole lifespan, which is super rare. And they took down animals like giraffes, rhinos and became legend. It was a folk legend about these Mapoho lions. So Mapoho is a venture firm. We specialize in food and beverage companies. If you're doing something epic, we want to talk to you. And then we also specialize in blockchain, cryptocurrency and anything that's on the forefront of what's going on in the tech space. So if anybody's interested, they think they have a great idea, you can reach out to us wherever you guys put contact information, I don't know. But yeah, yeah, definitely. What's the website? MapohoVentures.com. Okay, got it. Mapoho Ventures. And how much are you guys investing? What's the kind of around size you guys do? So it totally depends. We almost don't have a limit or a minimum. It's all about the team, the idea, where you're going and what you need will get you what you need. Is it a new firm? Or you made investments? It's a new firm. So we have two companies that we're looking at right now but we don't have any companies in the portfolio. We're looking to add. Great, awesome. Well, any great ideas? Check it out. How about crypto? What do you think? What are you seeing on crypto? What kind of deals? Obviously the flight to quality right now is starting to see. The ICO is kind of burning out here and there but the ones that are solid are standing and growing as a build out mode. I mean, the whole space right now, everybody's worried about it, right? If you're an outsider, you're looking at it like it's all down. But one thing I did want to say during this interview was this is a great event, untraceable. They set up an incredible event.  So everybody in this room did something before crypto. So they're all multifaceted individuals. And if you're not in crypto, if you're scared of crypto, if you're hesitant about crypto, if you don't understand it, you should be here, you should be at these events because it's priceless networking and who knows where you can go. Plus starting companies on a down, on a down the bottom of the market is when the best companies get built. A thousand percent, you know? What did Warren Buffett say? Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful. Looks to me that the market is incredibly fearful. So maybe you should consider being greedy right now. For the people that aren't here, what's the vibe of the show? Which should take us the hallway conversations like? Yeah, I mean the vibe of the show, this is actually one of the best conferences I've been to. I've been to a few in New York. This one is incredible. Everyone's so friendly. You can come here, don't know anyone.   But it's up to you to make this situation a great situation. What's interesting is this is a sector blockchain and crypto attracts alpha entrepreneurs, alpha engineers. You mentioned smart people in this world that've done things before. So this is really interesting. Yeah, people always forget that. They see crypto and they get nervous. It's like I don't know anything about it. Remember guys, this is a new industry and we're only in the first couple innings. This is going to be huge. So come, learn and surround yourself with killers. What's the coolest thing you've seen so far here? The coolest thing I've seen so far, you know I'm going to be completely honest with you. Larry King, I was so happy to see Larry King and it's awesome that a guy like that is supporting the community. Because this is really a revolutionary technology, blockchain technology. You've done a lot of entrepreneurial things since you were 10, you were talking before we came on. Yeah. How does that help you right now navigate this scene and other looking at deals and your own deals that you're building out and you're investing. Other entrepreneurs are coming in, sometimes first time entrepreneurs. How does it help you and what advice would you give other entrepreneurs? So I started really young. Not knowing where I was going to go was kind of just like in my blood.  I always say no deal happens on your couch. You got to jump off the porch.  And I started doing that at a young age which got my conversation skills a lot more advanced. So now I can go in and close the deal in 10 minutes where you know, back in the day, it might take me two hours and I probably wouldn't even close it. So what I would say if you're thinking. 10 minutes is a good metric. It is, it is. Hey, I don't need to say more or less. If it's an interesting idea, let's go. You should be able to tell me what it is. We should be able to hammer something out. Yeah. That's pretty much what's going on. Awesome. And what's some of the plans that you have for your adventures? Let's go back to the zip line. What's that one? Oh yeah, ZipScript. ZipScript, I'm sorry. So I can't talk too much about ZipScript. It's launching in fall of 2018. ZipScript is basically going, is revolutionizing higher education industry in the transcript section in that industry. And all I can say is we may or may not be using blockchain technology to do it. Got it. Yeah. So, Jason, that sounds very cool. Yeah, it is really cool. And I mean, you guys can go to chaseyourdrink.com, check it out. You can head over to our Instagram, chaseyourdrink. It's taken over, you know. This cola flavor I've got here and tropical thunder is pineapple mango, but cola tastes just like Coca-Cola without any of the bad ingredients. And it's really taken over, you know. Our biggest problem is supply. We just can't produce enough, but we're fixing that problem. That's a good problem to have. It's a very good problem to have, right? How did you get into the venture side? You're scratching an itch. You wanted to put some of your money into work. Did you raise unlimited partners? How's that, how'd that develop? Totally. What's the current situation? Yeah, so it was a group of fellow entrepreneurs and we're all working on our own companies, but we're all ADD, right? And we're like, okay, I'm doing this. I'm doing that. But we have all these contacts, all these different skillsets, and we're all great friends. So that's another very important thing that most people talk about. Surround yourself with like-minded people, but you want them to have different skillsets. I don't want a clone. I have a clone. We're not going to work well together. If you want added value, you don't want to subtract value. Yeah, exactly. So we came together and we're like, we have so much value in so many different spaces. We can walk companies through a proven concept in any industry, food and beverage, cryptocurrency, and basically you won't make mistakes that we make. That's the bottom line. So you'll accelerate your success by working with us. Well, Chris, great to have you on. Congratulations on your success. It was amazing, man. Now, Chase, check out the fund. Have you got a great idea? Contact Chris, go to thecube.net. You can find his information there. I'm John Furrier here in Toronto with all the action here at the Blockchain Futures Conference with the futures being created, robust industry, people looking at the long-term. This is where the action is. Thanks for watching. Stay with us for day two coverage after this short break.
