is to it and and just to echo what Murray said collaboration is key and I know you guys have an outstanding grant rider and so I'm sure that between all of the advocacy groups and ecology action and the school district will be able to really come up with some great routes for our kids so that they feel safe so that their parents like and I was one of those parents driving my car with one child out to charter school of the arts because she couldn't ride her bike out there by herself and so now that they're closer they walk to school they both my kids walk to Watsonville High they walk home or skateboard home as well and I'm appreciative of that they wine as kids will but it's because it's a change for them but I am really appreciative of the plan and the efforts that are are put forth to keep our kids safer thank you thank you thank you okay you know yeah so so comments and now comments from the board I just wanted to say thank you for all the work that you've been doing you know Danny and I have had the privilege of attending a meeting and you know we have had a lot of concerns about crosswalks especially with some of the schools and I know the city of Watsonville has already started implementing some crosswalk changes that'll help keep kids safe as well as some bike lanes that are already painted green and being used but you mentioned about encouraging kids also to walk or bike to school one of the issues is I don't know if a lot of people know this but in Watsonville there's a lot of kids that don't know how to ride a bike and so possibly in encouraging the kids to bike and walk to school especially kids that are living long distances as maybe looking at helping them learn to ride a bike safely thank you thanks it was great I live in the Valencia area which is a really hard spot for kids there's essentially no walkers except from siesta at this point I know there are kids in the village and kids up cathedral that would love to walk to school but it's pretty dangerous I wanted to thank Marie your last name is Fontes or fonts fonts thank you for being here tonight and we can't do it without partnerships because we just don't we don't have the the capital to do it but we're happy to collaborate and offer whatever we can when we can one of the questions I have is for our area you mentioned that where we have two we have well one is too many but how many accidents have we had concerning kids under the age of 15 over and over what period of time because I don't think I know that information I mean I see in the media we've had a lot of adult pedestrian deaths and accidents between cars and pedestrians but I'm not sure about how many children have been injured well I've come up to say I don't know but I can find out I let you know that the accident data that is collected is released in a way that we're usually two years behind but for a city the size of Watsonville which is approximately 50 000 people with comparable cities in the state of california which are about 100 we've rated in the top five over the last five years and the number of accidents has been between five and ten a year okay thanks and if you happen to put your fingers on that data our administration will we'll make sure we get it but I appreciate you being here this late I know it's it's a late night for everybody so great report and thank you to Gina Cole for all your advocacy with bikes yeah I appreciate that you're here I'm just real quick I saw the presentation last night at the Watsonville City Council I thought it was great thank you Amelia and Juno for putting this together I was there last year at E Hall it was a great event with the maps it it gave it put things into perspective you know the way where the all the population was were what was needed the most and do you still have that slide where it shows where the percentages of children that walk do you have that on you or was I I don't have that okay that was added after this presentation um it shows that many white Watsonville E Hall and Radcliffe had some of the highest walking percentage rates you know between 50-55 a lot of these recommendations I was allowed to put input about Rodriguez Walker you know very dangerous streets no lights very dark so I think that you know when it gets dark in the evening children don't want to walk to school or well come after children have always walked to many white E Hall I always have and so all of these recommendations on Lincoln are are great and so I just wanted to thank you guys on that and hopefully we can put this together I'm just hoping I mean there's stuff that we could do that didn't I and I think I talked to Dr. Rodriguez about the that there is some things that we can do that doesn't cost as much money that we can do to make sooner to make you know things safer that are not as costly I think I talked to you about that even and you know the idea of seeing I don't know if our grant writer can work on stuff like that is that a possibility yeah and the grants that you could get as well we can share with each other in order to get some of these things done looking forward to that thank you I actually had some questions sometimes she doesn't look down here but I'm curious as to why there were only 21 schools involved when we have well over 30 schools were chosen that are located within the urban services boundary so within the city Watsonville it was all 15 public schools and within the county because unincorporated Santa Cruz county includes very rural areas like Bonnie Dune happy valley they selected the schools that are within the urban services boundary which means that the schools are in more urban areas and there's more opportunities for students to walk and bike so students in very rural areas schools in very rural areas where there's less infrastructure and where students are living farther from school we're not included in the plan well I just I think I find that very concerning that that's the reason for the basis of that decision as if somehow the balance of those other schools and the hundreds and hundreds of students that walk or ride bikes or commute however to those schools are not part of this factor as if they are somehow any less important not as significant I mean that is definitely not an equitable situation and this district has in this board has been on a continuum of you know approaching equity for all of our students across the district so that's very concerning for me that we have a significant number of our schools that are not having this address and um and just also to add back on to what you said trustee dodge jr um I think ha hide if I recollect correctly is also an all walking school other than special ed I think right I don't think we have bus service there I don't think yeah so it's a high walking school too as well all right thank you okay now we're going to do 8.4 which is a measure ill bond program update and you know what I wanted to do because I kind of forgot to do this before when I should have because we're going to do a bus tour we're going to announce we're going to do a bus tour of our measure ill this year's bus tour taking place it's going to be taking place on Wednesday November 27th from those of you who are still here they could go from 9 a.m. to noon and we will visit Aptos High Mar Vista Eloni Pajaro middle McQuitty and and soldo to see the wonderful upgrades to those school sites so for those of you still here and you can come that would be great sorry I should have done it earlier thank you all right Joe well good evening uh madam president members of the board and administration dr. Rodriguez very excited to be here this evening um uh really captures our summer success in our measure ill bond program and making sure that we maximize our tax dollars and invest those dollars throughout our district and making sure that it's students for our students centered um with me this evening because I'm it's the work and the commitment I'm not alone we have a great team in our facilities division and I'd like to introduce the team we have Ryan who's our senior project manager uh Pam Harnett who's a project manager for our department Randy uh recently just joined the team as

enunciate very clearly that would be great sorry no that's okay okay so um we are well underway with the playfields project and um rough grading and site retaining wall construction will continue into winter of 2019 uh the first top photo there on the right is a shot of the retaining walls from the driveway of the road and that is the second photo on the bottom is the um is the vehicular driveway going in but um yes we are well underway with the project and there's lots of grading that has been already done and it's primarily site site work and um yeah so we're doing well you think uh we're looking at some we're looking at summer of 2020 mm-hmm okay does all construction need to stop during the winter months no no we can go through yeah yeah they're going to winterize the the project so they'll still be able to get their trucks around and um the foundations of the buildings that are on the site should be able to continue so yeah they're still we're very helpful to keep some construction going during the winter okay oh sorry so we've done a whole slew of different types of projects this summer including perimeter safety fencing uh roofing and hvac replacement some site

middle school prop 39 charter navigator charter portable restroom building uh this is the total current expenditures that we spent over this last summer a majority of them being our our bond fund 21 um total project cost was 29 746 000 um and of that 28 371 was all bond fund projects um the other funding sources were child development and prop 39 and that was 1.3 million um this is a picture of our original mesreal bond allocations for each site and this is our current um funding that we have left all together we have 25 745 000 left um and we also be celebrating and by doing a facilities bus tour um november 27 from 9 to 12 30 um visiting these six sites um and then we also are putting together our master facilities plan um on september 25 the board approved maddie architect groups to start working on the master plan um their scope of work includes um assessment of our district properties so that's a look at the age and condition of all of our current buildings and utilities um our educational program needs assessment to make sure that we're using the classrooms um that we have the right size and the right configuration um integrating facilities master plan that's looking at our basic needs such as water lines lights restrooms hvac and so on we're also going to be assessing a landscape we're looking uh forward to move towards low maintenance and drought tolerant plants um we're also going to assess uh all existing portables to get an updated inventory and check on all the current conditions of the portables we'll be doing a lot of community outreach and i'll talk more about that towards the end of this slide um they'll be putting together an enrollment projection and demographic study which we'll look at uh three year and ten year plans um and they'll be doing a ton of coordination for all these steps with the district as well as providing a five-year deferred maintenance plan so that we can have a game plan in place to replace all of our aging and outdated utilities since then the facility department um has sent all of our as-built and site plans to maddie architect group uh we held a kickoff meeting and we are coordinating uh setting up community outreach sessions um and with those sessions we plan to visit each site two to three times and hear from the community what their needs are for each site um we plan to do this at the first or yeah the first quarter of next year um and all this is in order to produce a new and updated master facility plan so that we can go out to for a community bond november 2020 with that being said are there any questions i just wanted to clarify the facilities master plan was to align for state funding um the state bond uh the state of california is going for a state bond in march and so it aligns us to receive potentially matching funds from the state and so the facilities master plan is a requirement to receive a state bond next year um and then potentially at a future timeline look internally uh as a district when uh if we pursue a future bond um so just a point of clarification there but uh now we're open for questions um from the board um for our team i just wanted to ask you um i mean the bond i don't know future bonds hopefully but um so what have we done that will explain to me again what have we done already having our measure l would help us get the matching funds for the state bond is that what you're saying so we as a district qualify for modernization funding uh the state is going out for a new state bond yeah so previous was prop 51 but districts in california um as you know there is a great need and it's competitive so a lot of districts applied for prop 51 and those funds are no longer available because they've been allocated and so the state and governor new some has um committed in running a new state bond next year and so once that state bond is if it does pass it opens up another funding source for facilities but districts to align to receive funding must complete a facilities master plan and a deferred maintenance plan and so we're already in the process of doing that um and then it also it'll it meets those two requirements but then also the third requirement is if we pursue a bond in the future as a district we've already completed our facilities master plan to do that as well but I just so there isn't there isn't anything that makes us more qualified to get the the state bond than in other places I mean the fact that we already had we've already had measure l funding that we're already working really hard to benefit all of our schools could that help us with the fact that we you know we still need a little bit more money to complete the projects would that help us with getting the state bond I was just state bond was that's what I'm just asking if there's anything that qualifies us a little bit more than other places so the requirement from the state is matching funds so the remaining bond balance that we do have will assist us next year in the following year to match and then it's going to be allocated by site and um but we have the ability to match those all is with our current bond balance so our current bond program does assist us in receiving state funding yeah that throws funding for sure okay thank you you're welcome thanks for that presentation um so I thought gavin or newson had um unlocked some money for this coming january to be right to be dispersed for the last bond correct because they only they only right there was how much let's just start with how much was that state bond the last one the last one and let me pull it up but there is a minimal amount remaining and that's what um it's being allocated already and then along with that is the um the full day k um funding which we submitted 17 applications to receive funding we did not we were not one of the districts to receive that but we are working on submitting a new round of applications in january so april 1st is the new deadline for the full day k uh grants uh for school districts and he's announced the re uh establishment of that funding um so that's the big portion of that the original prop 51 in 2016 was nine billion dollars but i think not all nine billion was released i think they released it a little at a time and i think there's a big chunk of it um that he's releasing again in jan this january right i think that i've read that he has okay so i guess the next one is going to be a 15 billion dollar education construction bond so that's one of the things i talked to john layered about because we didn't get a piece of it even though apparently we had um projects that had been submitted for reimbursement is that right correct um go ahead but we were um alec or awarded three sites uh or no i'm sorry four uh sites were awarded or four projects but the funding was not available so we are now approved and now for the new state bond we will be one of the many districts that have their projects funded so of the four projects how much money are we talking about let me pull that up and we are it's a moving target because we are submitting you can just ballpark in several applications i would say a minimum of 20 million okay because i think when we sold the last bond to the public you know one of the things that we were hoping for was the matching dollars we that's one of the the things that we were able to tell people is that we would get try to match the money that we got from our local um voters to state and federal dollars there was never any federal match at all even offered and then um with the state we were hoping we would get that um but you know what's interesting to me is we did hundreds of projects across this district why did we only submit for four for the reimbursement we have submitted we're ongoing so we're submitting for more than issues we've been awarded for um from the state so do we have some that are still pending or do we have the rest of them that were rejected no none of them have been on the modernization none of them have been rejected they're all pending okay great well that's good news so i i only sorry so i wanted to make a correction so it's 2.2 million for aptos jr 1.4 for valencia elementary 1.9 million for paharo valley high school and 1.8 million for a j hide and i'm guessing with the paharo valley project we'll be submitting a much larger um footprint right because it's 12 million dollars but remember it has to be for classroom yes it's regarding classrooms uh cafeteria multi-purpose rooms etc so it has to be um more of the infrastructure and classroom facilities okay but we are um compiling all of our science career tech ed modernization uh projects throughout the district our um salpa modernization so we're compiling all that and trying to uh lump all that together so it wouldn't it wouldn't include auditoriums you know paharo valley high school auditoriums would that be considered like a classroom that's something we're also looking at as well yeah it hasn't been built yet though so i know but it's our next project okay well thank you for keeping your finger um on the pulse of that because that will bring more money to our district so that we could do more facility maintenance and upgrade thank you that's not a quick question i'm not sure if it might be my laptop but how can we weren't allowed to have that presentation i'm not sure if it's my i'm not sure if we else got it the slide presentation we uploaded it um earlier today we were working on the final uh items on several of the slides but we um i think it was the pictures the before and after pictures we're also working on uh i think those numbers would have been important for me to read as well i think for my colleagues too so if we could get that next time thank you okay um i just want to um thank you joe for providing that clarification at the end of the presentation on with your comment regarding to the statement being made that pb usd is pursuing a bond on the november 2020 ballot um because if that the direction of that and the steps to move in that direction haven't been made by this governing body then that's very presumptive of people to say because over the last few weeks i have been getting inundated with phone calls about that so there seems to be some sort of buzz out there in the community but it hasn't been brought forth to this governing body correct to be for those steps correct to start that so really that comment shouldn't be being made by anybody from this district until that happens okay thank you for your clarification on that you're welcome i guess i'd like to echo that in that there are multiple things that are being planned to now for upcoming ballots and depending on what if we're going to go out for a bond and then the county needs to know that the city of watsonville needs to know that because there are other taxes and parcel taxes and other things being proposed and everybody wants to know are we going out the answer that i got when i asked was no so this was came as a surprise to me tonight that we are going to potentially go out for a bond so are we or are we not we are not going out for a bond i do not believe it would pass okay so i think we also need to see what happens with the we need it desperately so there's no so it's not about the need we need another bond to continue upgrading and maintaining our very old infrastructure every i think everybody here can agree on that i'm concerned about cabrio college bond is so large it's what 220 million they're going out for i'm worried that that that will put a damper on any bond that we try to push forward and get passed so i am concerned about about the outcome of all of the other bond measures taxes and parcels post taxes that are coming up yeah there's a lot to consider and and numerous other measures i know the city is going in march for their local tax and then the 10 minute discussion as well and then numerous other measures that we don't know about it for november but as the board has mentioned there's a lot of preliminary work that still needs to go if we were even to consider but as of right now we are not you're welcome i i just like to piggyback on that since both you joe as our cbo and the superintendent have now spoken to this and you've made the public statements here that with regards to the november 2020 ballot pvusd is not going forward with the bond i understand you've made both of you made those statements but since as i've stated there's this buzz that we are which is creating confusion for our community if we could get and i know we have a member of our press here tonight but if we could get a formal statement hopefully in the rp to announce that to just dispel that just so it just doesn't create any more added confusion to members of the community so it's just crystal clear i need to yeah i'm going to make a motion to extend our meeting to 11 30 i now we're going to 9.1 approve ea hall middle school sports field project option c and joe demingas again cbo so pleased to announce um um uh we had a very successful for ea hall um middle school we had a very successful community town hall meeting on on the 27th of august um the community parents students uh faculty both certificate and classified uh were present and they were provided three options um in alignment with their school priority list and so um we wanted to make sure that there was transparency of not only the the budget uh and remaining bond uh dollars and balance but also what we can get with those dollars and so the staff uh in partnership with our architect worked on uh compiling and doing cost estimating and so we came up with the the various three options that aligned to their priority list and um that was a very critical piece is making sure that it was in alignment to the priority list so first option was the classroom renovation and the a wing and that was only approximately uh about 16 classrooms and it was a modernization interior modernization of those of that area the option b was a rubberized track with natural turf field and then option c is a synthetic turf field uh with a rectangular curb with no track and um overwhelmingly we had 170 uh community members uh president at the town hall and 159 voted for option c and um so overwhelmingly we had full support um and we had opportunity for questions and answers in a group conversation and i'd like to thank uh david our site uh leadership and our assistant soup christin for her support and we had a very successful uh meeting um after that we took it uh to the school site council and our principal had a unanimous vote for option c from his school site council and his elac council and then on october 30th our facility staff uh ryan block and others uh presented at the citizens bond oversight committee and overwhelmingly a unanimous vote to approve option c in alignment to ea hall's site priority list so this evening we are following board policy and procedures and coming before the board this evening uh for final approval to move forward with option c uh so that our facilities team here this evening can meet with our architect and move forward with option c one of the positive things with the field project is this is a project we will not have to wait for summer we will implement as soon as possible and so once board approved we have a meeting actually tomorrow pending to look at the logistics are also like to commend uh mark edwards and his team they're actually last week working on prepping um the current baseball fields um and we're also look we'll work with school site leadership because once we start if board approved and we do start the synthetic synthetic turf construction then we need to have our students play in the baseball field area so we need to make sure that's prepped and it's safe to play on uh while construction is going on because we're not going to wait for summer and that summarizes it um we're very excited and I think the community and school site uh and our students are very excited so are there any questions okay so no public speakers question from the board I just make a make a comment um this has been a long time in the making you know thank you to my predecessor who put this together um this was this was his project so thank you Michelle Joe um the community members who showed up almost 200 people at e hall it was it was a good site thank you you know trustees who helped me also get this along so thank you guys very much thank you any other speakers from the board yeah yeah Joe I wanted to ask so what um did you get any sort of consensus as to why the option c over the option b with the track I think um the real want was the say play field for soccer um for other after school programs and physical activities for the students and and that was the main piece was the play field we will do our best um mentioning with the track on option b was a rubberized track similar to that you see at some high schools so option c we're probably going to go with a non-rubberized track but do like a walking track um with like a hard scape and we're going to try to see what we can come up with to give the students some type of walking surface but the main request was to definitely have a play field and so we're excited to do that yeah I could see that I just um I mean being an avid runner and having a family of avid runners that have been raised on that very track field that's you know heartbreaking for me to see that the track may be going if I could also answer a lot of people were concerned about losing the baseball fields and you know there's some portables right there and some people were concerned because of that expansion yeah so well hopefully it works out that you can incorporate some sort of hard service track still around there that would be great if that works out and so you're saying that um you you don't have to wait till summer but are you planning on doing this over winter months with the rain season or waiting until spring season the winter season will actually give our architect and the team to develop the plans uh so it'll take about anywhere six to nine well hopefully not nine months but six months to process through the state and hopefully and we're using um preliminary plans that we had already so hopefully that'll save us time so we're going to use the winter to work with the state submit our plans and hopefully we can get this in start spring and this was money that was allotted from measure l2 correct isn't it yes it's measure l that's that uh allocated to ea hall right because I remember we hadn't spent that down there correct okay thank you you're welcome I know in previous meetings we've talked about like gopher issues is there less of a gopher issue with the the synthetic turf than there is with the natural turf there is less issues so there's less ongoing maintenance and does that reduce overall cost long term correct and and we're also looking at uh not only the gopher some maintenance but water right on another cost and so that was one of the key drivers that were prepping the baseball fields and making sure that those are safe to play so once we start construction yeah just one more comment I just on the record I I understand synthetic fields because they're safer for rolling ankles etc than turf however I think for the environment they're not great and I would I think it would be better to have the rubberized track and the grass fields with gopher protection so anyway it's not up to me it's already been decided but I don't I really don't like synthetic fields I don't think they're they're hygienic I think they gas off I think they're bad for the environment and and that's how I feel about it thanks and to back on what trustee to surface said they also need to be replaced they don't have them you know infinite lifespan so correct they have to be maintained as well maintained as well it's a I don't know how to explain this but a large vacuum type machine that needs to be treated and it also needs to have applied moisture a mist or or light sprinkle of water so it does have treatment but not as and then the life expectancy depends on the the materials and fabric that we use and the different vendors have different quality products so it ranges from I would say eight years up to 15 years it just ranges maybe you could report back to a center future date just an update on that even if it's in the backup like on a B2B or something that'd be great thank you and and we will bring this back to the board once so as we do after our other projects the award of the contract the price timeline all that will be brought back to the board for approval as well so we'll have an update as well so just just to also echo trustee accustomed to serve but I also mentioned that at the beginning I was a supporter of a but you know this has already been in an effect for a long time and you know a hundred you know almost 200 people at e-haul I mean that's what they said and that's what they said online and yeah thank you comments no more comments okay thank you Joe you're welcome thank you so all um I have a motion do I have a motion make motion to accept item 9.1 second all those in favor aye all those opposed okay the next one is an action item 9.2 and this is what we've kind of done before the MOU with PBS due in San Francisco State University's teaching program intern replacements like we did last time quite a few yes this isn't a new item in terms of the topic correct so good evening President Almson board of trustees Dr. Rodriguez the MOU in front of you is a renewal for our ability to hire interns from San Francisco State University and we currently have one who is actually working through her internship and so we would appreciate an approval in this MOU to extend our MOU with San Francisco State for another three years there you go okay no comments right you have a comment oh okay just okay I have a motion just a quick question um is there anything going on with the GIRA program UCSC I mean is there any interest from UCSC coming now UCSC actually doesn't do internships with their credentials because it's more of an intensive program and linked with the masters they don't offer okay thank you you're welcome okay I wish they did it's another pool but no they don't oh that would be great I did for us so close I know okay do I have a motion move to approve second second okay all those in favor hi all those opposed okay 9.3 we're gonna approve um hydration statement station for and soldo elementary freedom elementary ha hide elementary and pattle valley high school and we kind of wish you know because all the aloni issues we could get them a hydration statement I know they're not in the city all right thanks report represented by Dan wiser director of technology oh wiser no you're here instead okay give us your name give us your name good evening I'm rich ariano I'm the director of director of purchasing yeah okay I don't know what what's wrong name here that's okay I've been called worse so um tonight we'll be asking for your approval of the agreements to accept a donation of bottle filling stations for five of our sites the stations are going to be donated by tap water watch and tap water watch has partnered with the city of Watsonville and their plastic free Watsonville initiative um and between them they identified pahero valley unified as um a great recipient of those stations so the start of this we have five sites they would receive a total of seven stations and they're listed out uh pahero valley high school ha hide and soldo freedom and Watsonville high school so that'll take up seven of the ten that we are allotted the sites were determined by our M&O and facility staff is having the best infrastructure so taking into consideration the available plumbing electrical wall materials that need to be accessed to install them we found these sites as the ones that would allow our staff to install them and we wouldn't have to contract out for the services the stations themselves are lk easy h2o stations and they'll provide chilled and filtered water through either a bottle filler or a regular water fountain and then they also have a feature to keep track of how many 20 ounce bottles they've kept out of our kids hands and out of the trash so um if there's any questions you have about the stations i hope i have the answers for them but i just have one um do you know you are Dr. Rodriguez is this a comm also with offering um because President Trustee Osmondson and I had had a discussion with this with the superintendent about the um stainless steel bottles the reusable will they be coming with that or is it possible for us we talked about seeing if we could get our grant writer to write a grant for that so we could continue to try to create that equity across the board for our students so do I there would be able to answer about that so the group that has come to us in terms of aloni has connected us they actually just emailed me today um connected us up with a group who is willing to help um sponsor a grant for that for the bottles just for the stainless steel yep okay so we will um they just they just provided us the link today so we'll make sure and apply but it's not coming with these water stations it's not coming with these water stations at this time but we are um we're progressively moving forward on that okay great thank you so we're approving this too can i have a motion i make a motion to approve by second all those in favor all those opposed when will these be put in by um so i will place the order with tap water watch tomorrow they should arrive within 10 days installation because installation has been a bug in the past we've had a lot of these waiting to be installed so when can we expect installation um so the first one that is scheduled is calabasas and we have that over Thanksgiving break scheduled and we're using internal staff and so we uh her lendo from our facilities team is now the point lead and has done an assessment with our electrical and plumbing team and so they find they have found locations at the sites that uh match the infrastructure electrical and plumbing and so we work calabasas to confirm two locations there and so that's what we're that's great thank you you're welcome and the other ones are gonna be soon after and the other ones will be soon after and we're phasing those in uh but we like to complete them uh by the first of the year oh that's soon pretty good that's pretty good isn't it kim okay um so we voted on that already yeah okay um now is the consent agenda i'd like to move to approve the consent agenda with moving item 10.13 10.14 10.16 to deferred consent 10 point say that again one three one four and one six one four and one six i have an item i'd like moved to 10.7 i'll amend my motion to um include 10.7 thank you second okay thank i would just like to knowledge la rosa tortilla factory de la colmenna and starbucks on freedom and this is for the generous donations for pastry water milk and coffee for a state of the district breakfast event thank you all of these places for giving us all you know these food places they're all food places mostly and coffee places so thank you for helping us for the state of the district breakfast thank you all these organizations and places okay um we're gonna have a motion in a second and then we're gonna do the okay okay so we're gonna call for a vote on the remaining items then we're gonna go defer to dissent okay all those in favor for all the remaining items i i all those opposed okay so we're starting with 10.3 seven oh 10 point you just did 10.3 okay oh yeah obviously okay so and we're not going to do 10.4 oh 10.3 10.13 oh so we're on 10.7 right now okay well i'm confused here sorry about that 10.13 10.14 and 10.15 okay 10.7 so do people can you can talk about that yeah thank you louise sorry i just wanted to ask a question louise um especially after having seen the make lab in action um are the mostly the students from the make lab gonna be able to go are you pulling we we do invite the similar uh the or the first session the the winter one it'll be girls the ladies for middle school girls we invite about 20 to 25 ladies for from all the middle schools um and some of them will be some of the same students that did participate in the make academy for the assignment will be the voice and it'll be between 20 and 35 boys and some of those uh students that did participate in the make academy will be there as well okay thank you that's all i wanted to know i saw that program it was a great program i never knew it existed you know maybe down the road you know the teacher or whoever heads the program can show us what they do yeah i did talk to patricia about the possibility of presenting to the board and she's more than willing to come and present some of the approval that she's actually running yeah i the only reason why i found is i walked in on accident and i'm not sure mr chastity shocker walked in on accident either so okay i wasn't invited i walked on an accident but i'm thank you thank you invite everybody that like right through there yes yes yeah that's a great program thank you yes i make a motion to approve item 10.7 second i i could clump my questions they're very similar so i could clump my questions for them all together and i think would i be directing these to you joe right yes um so i just wanted um you know this has been an sort of an ongoing issue it was an ongoing issue with the passport with concerns from the previous board being concerned about the number of change orders that we see um it's been addressed by this new governing board as well over this past year so i'm gonna ask the question again why are we having so many change orders and the one 10.116 it's the second time we're having a change order on it um for 1013 um for seeing conditions um as we know some of our sites are older and so we have our architectural plans and then we have what are called asbuilds uh plans which are marked up by our staff that have plumbing electrical lines and that is as good as uh how we upkeep them so those could be 20 years 30 years old um and in this case from equity we uncovered electrical or plumbing lines that were not in those plans and so that's what the change order one of the main change orders in 10.13 and then one of the other items that we uh did to the benefit uh of Mcquitty was the parent uh drop-off area so we had to change the cement uh slope or ad accessibility so actually that was uh it was a i wouldn't say uh it was a uh district request change order so that it had more benefit to the school site and it wasn't this was just not something we first saw that we wanted to do before that and the preliminary uh planning it was not included and once we realized it could be accomplished with the setback and we had to meet with the city on the setback requirements so at first we thought we did not have the clearance but once we realized we did have the clearance then we moved forward and I um and the site was pretty happy and then 1016 for pvi uh the main uh change order there was when we removed the portables um what was not in the plans was a um a plastic uh lining uh that was about two feet in the ground that was like a honeycomb mesh uh that held the slope together so that wasn't something that we reviewed so that was there and it was there and so when we dug with the backhoe and the the um the construction equipment when they dug it out they realized that there was a material down there so that was an unforeseen condition and um and so that was a part of it and the other component of that is if you recall um the portables uh one other piece that was captured was enhancing the band room uh at pvi so that work was captured within the scope of the work because we eliminated those portables so we had to make space in another classroom and so that's part of this change order as well and so are these changes coming out of the measure l yes all of them exclusively are coming from measure l it's coming out of measure l and it's within the uh percentage and budgeted amount for the project okay and and it's just you know because even with the previous director for maintenance and his previous assistant I mean that was the you know the same excuse we've got we we understand that yes we have a lot of very very old aging buildings with aging pipes and electrical underneath but I mean these contractors if they know they're dealing with buildings that are 30 40 years old I mean is there really no way on their end to foresee some of these probabilities that these things come up it's the review on the planning side um but I think uh commend the team were under 10 percent I think one was at eight percent um and then the change orders themselves we have a contingency uh fund based by the project site so that little contingency fund that we have on the project is used to offset the change orders and whether they in some change orders are district requested and others are surprises that we come along in construction but we are I think doing more due diligence and I think one of the pieces that we've done recently and I appreciate the board's support as we increased our pool of architects so it's making sure that we have a quality pool of architects that partner with the district to not only design but also review the plans with the contractors um and I think um you'll see other projects that um I believe there was one um on the agenda that had no change orders and so we're trying to work very hard to make sure we continue that yes and we've had change orders in the past that have worked to our benefit so I do recognize that but just wanted to address it so unless any of my other colleagues have any questions I'll make a motion to approve 10.13 second those in favor I okay 10 point I'll make a motion to approve 10.14 second all those in favor I 10.16 I'll make a motion to provide them 10.16 all those in favor I right post so it's been 601 for all of them okay um we're gonna do closed session um somebody can talk about the want to talk about the I got the expulsion one expulsion okay so it's my first time doing expulsion one with a recommendation of district administration student number 19-2099 it's recommended that suspend suspended expulsion from the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year with placement at another school in the district on a strict behavior contract can I have a motion oh we already did it yeah excuse me no we already did oh sorry yeah we already did it yeah I know we used to always do it if we always used to do it out here okay it was a unanimous vote so yeah close okay the rest of closed session okay so motion number one closed session item 2.2 I moved to approve the certificated personal report as presented by district administration on November 13, 2019 with seven and eight additional action items a motion second all those in favor I motion number two closed session item 2.3 I moved to approve the classified personal report as presented by district administration on November 13th with 10 and three additional action items okay second I second all those in favor hi okay our next meeting will be on December 11th here in the district board room thank you


This study examined the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines by evaluating adverse vaccine reactions, AVRs, and patients who had been vaccinated. It found that AVRs were more common in older individuals with multiple medical conditions and taking multiple medications. Additionally, those who had received two doses of the vaccine were more likely to experience an AVR than those who had only received one dose.

A self-powered photodetector with broadband response ranging from deep ultraviolet to near-infrared is developed by combining FA1-XCSXPBA3 PARAVSKYTE with PDC2 layer, a newly discovered TMDs material. The device exhibits sensitivity to light illumination ranging from 200 to 1,550 nanometers, with the highest sensitivity centered at almost equals 800 Nm. It also shows a large on-off ratio of almost equals 104, a high-responsivity, R, of 313 mA W-1, a decent specific detectivity, D, of almost equals 1,013 zones, and a rapid response speed of 3.5 slash 4S. The device exhibits obvious sensitivity to polarized light, with a polarization sensitivity of 6.04.  These results suggest that the present PDC2 slash PARAVSKYTE shot key junction photodetectors may be useful for assembly of optoelectronic system applications in near future.

Welcome to Church of the Chair. We celebrate all the things we do while seated. I'm your host E here today with my co-host Chad Lutsky and we are working on a collaborative novel called Planet Caravan. Sorry we're late today. We got to chatting in the background like we normally do. But the point of this, if you're new to the series, the point of this is just to kind of demystify the process. We are working together for the first time. For the most part, we did try something at another time, but it didn't work out. We both went our separate ways. And we ended up coming back to something completely new. In fact, if that first one hadn't have failed, you all probably wouldn't have south of here. So that's a lot of interesting stuff. But yeah, definitely read south of here the beginning of that to see what happened with all that. Because my intro, I dedicated to Chad, all that stuff. But also, we're here just to motivate and encourage you. So if you want to come work on your own artwork, your own writing, whatever you want to do, or just put us on the background and chill, that's completely fine. That's what we're here for. Anyways, today I have to rewrite an entire chapter. I have to get rid of it completely because I forgot where I was going. And my brain said, OK, well, let's fill in the blanks with this other scene that really had no purpose. So that's what I'm going to be working on today. Hey, Pedro, how you doing?  OK, that's fine. I'm just making sure I didn't miss something. I wanted to, but between a wrap I had to do and then the cover I just showed you and then World of Warcraft, dude. I've been into Liza P. That's all I've been doing. I watched for a little bit. Wow, a Pinocchio game. That's pretty dark for Ilik School. Well, Pinocchio is dark. Have you ever read the original story? No. OK, so do you plan on reading the original story? I don't know. You don't know? I don't know. Because the original Pinocchio is about 10 times darker than the cartoon ever gets. So in fact, with all that body horror? There's a lot of stuff, but also Pinocchio is hung from a tree at the end, and that's how they kill him. Because Pinocchio is a mischievous entity in the original book. And they hang him from the tree that he was created out of. So the branch that he was made out of, they end up hanging him in that tree at the end. So spoilers for that. Wow, I didn't know that. It is hella. Just go over to Wikipedia, dude, and look up the original one by Khalid Colado. C-O-L-L-O-D-A, I think it is. And I was so taken aback by the original story that I actually added it to the mythos of my War on Christmas series that I did. Every year for three years running, I published a free short story. It was The Naughty List, Deck the Halls, and Beyond the Gates of Toyland.  Santa's an actual hero. I was so tired of Santa in horror being the villain that I don't know. That's one of those things that's kind of sacred to me, the idea of Santa Claus. So I don't like killer Santa stories.  But yeah, I've always thought if you're gonna write about Santa Claus, need to be a hero.  And they even show up in the real world. But anyways, so I wrote this long thing and it's somehow Pinocchio just naturally fit into the storyline because he's a toy, he's a doll and whatnot. So yeah, there's a twist at the end about Pinocchio and all that stuff. But I actually use the lore from the original story and I've gotten messages from people going, how could you do Pinocchio like that? And I'm like, that's the original Pinocchio.  It's the only way to end him is to hang him in the tree that he was born of. I have to untangle my OCDs getting to me. Give me a second. I won't be able to hear you. But anyways, the rest of the story is, so for those three years, I used to do a free Halloween, not Halloween, but a free Christmas story every single year. And then have last year's free, like a week before Christmas. And then the next year I had two weeks, each week would be a different story since you can go free for five days on Amazon.  Someone finds it and shenanigans happen. It's more of a comedy than a horror.  But yeah, I did that free every year. But anyways, the whole Pinocchio thing, that story much pretty much ended with that.   That is the darkest that gets. Easily the story itself is not a children's story. It's definitely, well, I guess it would be, it's more like one of those, it's kind of like urban legend kind of thing. If you don't do the right thing, you're gonna get killed. And that's pretty much what the original one was, but I definitely wouldn't let a child read it, especially not with that ending. It's far more upsetting than something like Old Yeller. I don't know, man.  But the Disney movie is more about humanity, like what makes you human, your emotions, all that stuff. And that's what the game goes more along the lines of, what is it to be human? Whereas the original story is kind of like, you shouldn't lie because, death is the wages of sin or whatever the, I can't remember the Bible quote, but the wages of sin is death. And that was more the point of the original story.   But anyways, yeah, the game is amazing. I'm hoping, it's funny because there's been allusions to this thing called the radiant tree, and that's what gave the puppets life. So I'm wondering how close they're going to get to the original story, if it ends up being the, maybe the tree is the final boss or something.  Like now we have like clickers from the last of us, all them kinds of weird shit, and this huge boss, that monster that this archbishop has turned into. I'm very surprised, very pleasantly surprised with the game because I thought it was all going to be puppets and no real, nothing blood-borne-ish, which is all monsters and shifting creatures and whatnot.  And of course, I don't believe, I'm pretty sure there's no monsters in the original short story. But anyways, other than that, it seems to be the same, it seems to be another, what makes us human kind of storyline. And I love storylines like that. So yeah, I said all that, just to say I'm having a lot of fun. That's cool, man. I don't know. I don't think I need to save any of this since it's very situational. I think I'm just going to delete it, but we'll see. I don't know, I'll move it down. I'll keep it highlighted. All right. Okay, so I already have to use the restroom and I wanna get in here and really start working. So I'm gonna go ahead and hit the restroom, take my break. When I get back, I'm jumping right into the writing. So what are your plans for today? Just going over, reworking my stuff again? Yeah. Okay. All right, I will be back, y'all. Oh, I got enough data about my guitar. So $950 guitar in the instruction manual, they say do not use any other power brick than the one that comes with it. So I noticed yesterday that the guitar was at 76% while I was playing it and it had been plugged in. I'm like, okay, is the battery already fucked? What's going on? I put it back on the stand, the light doesn't come on. I try every single outlet I possibly can, light doesn't come on, it's not charging. So go inside, Shell's like, let's try another one. I'm like, it specifically says only use this power brick. It's like, well, let's just try another one. I'm like, okay, but if something happens, it's gonna void my warranty. We try it anyways, it works.  So now it's working fine, but the original one doesn't work. So I will do a full review of the thing. I also can't figure out how to get to the distortion to work. I got the gain all the way out. I got everything on the virtual pedals, right, all of the stuff, and it's still clean. So I don't know. But once I get it fully up and running, I'm gonna do another video and do an actual full review of it. I'm just gonna read today. Hope you all have a good stream and get a lot of good stuff written. I plan to, man, I plan to. Hope you have a good day, Viking. Anyways, jumping in. Also, I'm probably getting rid of all the strongman stuff, or strongwoman stuff down here. I don't know. We haven't mentioned that at all, and I'm not sure I even want it. I don't think they have a show within the show kind of thing, like a freak show, side show, any of that stuff. They just have your normal. Damn, stomach sounds like Jurassic Park. Dude, you sound like the exorcist over there. Yeah, I know, right? Any century? You should die, Justin. You changed the name of your channel? Yeah, I changed it back to Edward Lorne. I got full rights back, so I can use that name again without any repercussions. Oh, I didn't even notice. Yeah.  It went judge, judge, judge, and then utter silence. What'd you do, Lutsky, what'd you do? You broke something. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Okay, I accidentally unplugged it for a second, but then I plug back in. Now you sound far away. For real? What the... Now you sound like you're over here. All right. It sounds like you're, it's not you're yeti, It's like your uh, it's what sounds like when you're on your uh laptop mic, right? Well, there you go Okay, yeah, you're good. Yeah, it unplugged for a second. I'm not sure why See how it is. What's that called? Okay Six pages. All right then That seems done. I'm gonna go ahead and take my break. I want to get back. I'm gonna read what everything you've done Okay Oh, by the way, I don't think this is gonna be an issue But I have to go pick up my Darth Vader cosplay stuff tomorrow my CPAP So I have to be done by noon because I have to be there at one. It's about 15 minutes away Um, so it shouldn't be an issue just let you know I got if I have to be out of here by noon tomorrow about to lose a whole chunk Of word count. I don't think there's anything there I can save I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped today because uh Got a screenshot I had to deal with Oh, no Yeah, like kind of made me lose my focus for a while there Okay, um to uh reply to your thing, uh worrying about the sounds It's just that's all just his character development like saying he has you know sensitivities and all that stuff Plus, yeah the rotating theme of uh, you know good sounds versus bad sounds versus the best sounds versus the worst sounds all that stuff Um, and we talked about you know, the last one being the good sounds when sam dies, you know Remembering the good sounds of her Or laughs that kind of thing. Oh, I know all that. I just wonder I mean it might even turn into something by the end. I don't know I have no idea I think I think that just comes down to character though How much How how he sees the world? And sees it more more through the sounds the sounds mean more to him than anything else Nothing. I was just reading something I wrote Laughing at something I wrote in Europe. No, I'm uh I'm laughing at uh I uh I don't know if I should I'll I'll wait until after the stream's over to share it with you It's uh something on twitter and uh, okay, I just came across it Anyways, you'll see Uh I might need a nap before my stream My game stream I have got my uh I think I already told you um doing Uh bleeding and for those listening doing uh Recording an episode of bleeding page podcast if anybody wants to Look for that on youtube he's got an episode on there And um There's a lot of fun too. We are interviewing Travis Baldry who wrote legends and lattes uh the self-published debut book that Went crazy and now is a new york times bestselling, but After being picked up by trap. All right. Thank you link for tomorrow's Uh Tomorrow's uh brain All right Anyway, I'm all caught up with what I think With what you wrote I gotta Get your review done Still gotta get that done and then I gotta Uh All that type you must have been talking to somebody I keep hearing all this typing But you haven't really done much of anything that's a shot really got you fucked up Jesus Christ. I can't wait to hear about that. Anyways, I'm done.  So I think I want to wrap this up so I can find out all the tea All right. Anyways, because I'm not I'm not writing anything else. I don't know where I'm going I don't know what I'm doing. So uh, we'll go ahead and wrap it up here.

I've been on there some other people have been on there It's a good show a lot of fun, but until next time enjoy your spaghetti dreams and all hail the chair Bye


Minä olen todellinen, että olen todellinen, että olen täällä. Minä sanoisin, että yritän ilman, koska olen tullut koko paikalla. Ja ensimmäisenä sanoisin, että olen tullut koko paikalla ja ilman. Meillä on paljon kokemuksia. Meillä on koko paikalla tai Eurooppaa. Meillä on Vest-North ja meillä on Vest-North-East. Meillä on koko paikalla. Tarkoituksessa on tärkeintä, mutta voin sen jälkeen yhteistyö. Tuolloin FIllandain keskeistä oli syrjässä 90-luvulla, ja koko Suomea tulee tullut koko paikalla. Meillä oli paljon koko paikalla jatkyvially ilman vuosien 20 vuotta. Itse build up our competitiveness as a nation. But the agri-food sector in Finland is not at the same position like it is in your country. Finnish agriculture is only about 1% of the total European Union agriculture. For example our milk quota at the moment is about 1.4% of the European milk quota. And also that in terms of the population we are only a little more than 1% of the European population. But one thing which is important for Finland is that when looking to the income of our GNP about 40% is coming from export of goods and also services more and more at the moment. My background is in dairy like it is said earlier. I have been employed by Valeo, the leading Finnish cooperative in dairy more than 30 years. But I retired last week so I have now freedom to speak about the experiences and I'm not being any more official spokesman for Valeo. So that's the reason I changed a little bit the title when talking about the innovations. And I have a little bit skeptical view about the innovations because it has become a little bit glissair type of work. Everybody is talking about innovations that innovations are going to save our economies and so on and so on. I can tell you a couple of cases what I have experienced and seen in the first in Valeo. And the second case is a Pennekel case from a Finnish food company by name Reissia. Sorry for the misspelling. And then I will talk a little bit about the challenges what I have seen during my career as an executive or big company. And then finally to make some concluding remarks. I made just as a curiosity a visit to the annual reports of the leading global food companies. And it's funny that you find all these six words in almost every annual report of the company. All the companies they want to be dynamic, they want to be innovative, they want to be global players, they want to build healthy nutrition, they want to be sustainable and finally competitive. Everybody strives to the same direction. And when looking to the trends it's very easy to find also similarities. Everybody is talking about healthiness, fitness, convenience, indulgence and every product has to be also ethical. Very natural requirements for also food innovations. And what we have experienced and learned very general requirements for innovations. Like it was shown up by the previous speaker also. So what we need, we need certainly we need science and we need technology resources. But then somebody has to apply the knowledge in terms of the research and product development projects. And what is needed more and more today is that science based evidence is needed.  And in terms what happens inside of doing all these processes. You need functional cooperation with marketing production and sales. And what is very special in our case, what is a bonus in Finland is that like mentioned we are a small nation, only 5 million people. And so this has proven and become us a very important pilot territory. Where we can test and try all kind of funny ideas. And this is something what you should think also in Ireland.  And one case what I would like to bring up from Valio is how we have built a totally new category in dairy. And now I'm talking about lactose free products. But here we have a long story what we have to remember is that why we started to research and look at the lactose issue in milk and dairy products. Very simple reason because it is said that 17% of the Finnish population is lactose intolerant people. And what happened already in the late 70s when a person went to the doctor and complained that I have something problem. Something in my stomach and I'm not feeling well. The doctor said that please leave milk because you are lactose intolerant. And that caused us a lot of problems in the dairy industry. And we had to begin to work. We had to begin to develop the technologies. First very simple how to reduce lactose by enzymatic hydrolysis. And then we improved the technology through chromatographic separation to remove lactose totally. And now we have gone to the filtration techniques how to remove lactose. And what has happened during this time is that we have been able to build a totally new dairy category in dairy milks. Where we apply new type of technologies and with these new technologies I mean filtration technologies. Which are totally new for the traditional dairy processes. And suddenly we can see that future of traditional fresh milk has changed. So there are new opportunities to make in the future milk for recovery after exercise. Cooking milk products which don't burn into the kettle. And all kind of value added milks for nutrition. And this is actually at the moment a very fast moving technological area where all the dairy companies are looking for new applications. And especially it's interesting to see what will happen in the US when all the soft drinks are removed from the schools. And they should be replaced by more nutritional and hopefully by more nutritional milk based products with new technologies. And with these lactose free products what we have done in Finland and Sweden that we have built a new category. And at the moment the value of the sales or the revenues of this totally new category is more about 200 million euros. And that's important for very important for our revenues and also profits. The second case I would like to bring up is the situation what we have had in Finland traditionally in the 70s. Is that we have had one of the world's highest rates of cardiovascular diseases. And at that time Finnish government started a project. Health in the ground breaking health intervention called North Korea project. Where in a certain territory or region in the country the total diet of the people was changed. That meant a lot in dairy consumption but also gave an idea for ratio to develop a new type of food products. Where the cardiovascular disease influence was reduced by adding some cholesterol reducing ingredients. And this was the beginning of the ratio, ratio, benegal story. And here we can say that in a way since it's not always that everything is carefully planned and forecasted. But you may make also real inventions in that sense. The issue here was that how to get plant sterols into food products. And this rise in a way was that how to produce stunnall esters. And which you are able to add to food products in enough big quantities. And that was the beginning how the first cholesterol lowering foods were created. And like said they should be according to the standards of normal foods in terms of the taste. And like said, Raisio has been able to build this benegal brand, a global brand. And not only in terms of the ingredient but also with the end products. And in their annual report they say that this is for them nowadays more than 200 million euro business. And like said they have been able to develop the technologies where they can introduce this ingredient. Stannall ester to all kind of food products including also yogurt drinks and spreads and milks. Like said this is a story or case where you can say that by adding an ingredient you can develop or innovate something new. And the beginning here was the national health problem what we saw in Finland. And it's interesting to see that what's happened since 70's in terms of the cardiovascular diseases in Finland. But as a daily man I must say that this is not only the benefit of the benegal. It's also one part is that all the major daily products have become low fat. So the overall fat intake has reduced at the same time. So these are two cases where we can see that it has paid off to innovate. But like said in everyday life innovation in a food company is not so easy and rightful what you can see from the successful cases. So innovation is a distraction until it pays off. And like said our experience when building the innovative concepts we can divide them to technology based innovations or science based innovations. And the third category is certainly the market based innovations. And our experience is that when planning your processes and targets for innovations you have to look for enough big markets and international potential. Certain difficulty at the moment is the regulatory environment where we are living. We all know that how difficult it has been in the recent conditions to prove the effect in that sense that you get the official claims from our European Food Safety Authority. And that is a real burden for many and I would say for even global and big food companies how to make this research enough proof that you can get these claims through. But some companies have already succeeded with their ingredients. But like said innovation as a process is always in a company it's an investment for the future and it is a risky investment. We all know that when building up your knowledge when building up your ecosystem for the business case and organization it costs you all the time money. And the question is that what is the time length when everything pays off. And we have here a certain type of framework what we have used quite a lot in our company. I mean Valio that how we can build the different kind of business cases and this is actually a model developed originally by Boston Consulting Group. But I have found this very useful and we have decided in many cases when building the business case that what kind of model is the best one. And especially for a small or medium sized company like we are in terms of the global context.  And a little bit to explain what this all means that in the integrator model it means that you want to do everything yourself. And there are some brands mentioned in other fields or industries. And our experience is that you have to be not local strongly strong that you can play a model where you are an integrator. The second model is the orchestration orchestrator where you combine different disciplines in your business case. And certainly you can reduce your risk level. And the third one is the licensing model where you only license with under I would say. As a risk free your business out to the other party who makes controls. And make controls for the business itself. But then at the same time when your risk level is less so it means that your revenues are also less. But finally I would like to conclude my presentation in this a little bit complex picture. But my personal lesson when talking about innovations and how to make a business out of innovations. The key issue here is that not only the technology or competence or knowledge what you have been able to develop according to the rules and regulations. You have to think what is the market you are going to market your product. We can see that you can divide the consumers which are technology oriented consumers. Or the consumers which are lifestyle oriented consumers. And the third category is that if you are able to introduce your product on the market. And just take a few examples so you see in this picture a lot of familiar brand names. But when looking to the innovations in food and in the past 10 years. It is amazing how big success Red Bull has made. Red Bull has been able to penetrate to mass market product with innovation. Innovating product concept. We all who know food technology and food chemistry can evaluate that is that product. And innovation at all. It is just a mixture of flavors, ingredients and some active components. But anyhow if they have been able to build a successful global brand and make a huge business out of it. At the same time we have seen that on the technology oriented consumer side. There are very valuable nutrition and valuable products. So my conclusion here is that when talking traditionally in my great agriculture business. We are two technology and two science mindset people. It should be more market oriented, more marketing people and skillful in marketing. And that is my final conclusion that when talking about innovations. We have to change our mindset from technology to more market oriented approach. In the whole process what we are doing in order to become more successful. We are able to penetrate in our big markets.
