Live from Boston, Massachusetts, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering Red Hat Summit 2015. Brought to you by Red Hat. Now your hosts, Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman. Welcome back to Boston, everybody. This is theCUBE, and we're here live at Red Hat Summit at the Heinz Convention Center. This is day two of theCUBE, day three of Red Hat Summit. Open source, OpenShift, Paz, no, Paz is kind of old schools, Stu, we're hearing, Docker, containers, all kinds of cool stuff going on. Delano Seymours here is the CTO of Sixth Fusion. Delano, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Thank you, thanks for having me. Yeah, so, a lot of good action going on here. Tell us, let's start with Sixth Fusion. What do you guys do?  All right, Sixth Fusion is a company that's set out to create a way to meter consumption for IT. We want to do it in a pretty interesting way, and that is meter IT, like you meter electricity. So we've created a standard unit of measure for consumption in the IT world, and then we apply that to allow people to use that unit to build their customers based on usage and consumption. So their objective is to make sure they're charging out appropriately, is that right? That's correct. So in some models you might, it's like that, trying to fill the box, you know, you have a box trying to fill it with rocks versus sand, so you don't necessarily fill the whole box if you're billing by the box. So what we do is try to measure exactly what you use, like water, you know, putting water in that. So it used to be easy, it used to be MIPS. How many MIPS you got in your shop? Exactly. Okay, so what's the measurement today? So we call it the Workload Allocation Cube, and Kilowack for short. It is similar, it creates a little grim and people heard that, but it's similar to a kilowatt, right? So we want to create that measurement for consumption similar to electricity. And it stands for Workload Allocation Cube. Cube? Yeah, like the cube. Like the cube. Yes. Okay. And then how does that translate into dollars, which is ultimately what people want to know? So what makes up that Workload Allocation Cube is six main resources that we measure, and then we combine that algorithmically to create that one unit of measure. The six resources is CPU, memory, storage, and then three IOs, disk IO, LAN IO, and LAN IO. So what we're trying to do is encapsulate what a particular workload or application consumes of a particular infrastructure. So disk LAN and WAN? Yes. IO? Okay. All right, and so that's all the infrastructure. Yes. Well, that's technically what the application itself or the workload is consuming out of the infrastructure. We look at infrastructures like generators. Okay, great. That's the way you should look at it. Exactly. It's the whole thing of utility. Exactly. And application focus, which is nice. I mean, so much, we spent for years at Wikibon trying to talk about charge back, but really even getting to show back was kind of tough. Exactly. I kind of understand it because usually you're starting from the infrastructure, the bottom and working up, and you're starting from the application layer and looking down. Exactly. That's exactly how we do it. And OpenShift presents a nice package for us. In fact, containers present a nice package for us because that container is closer to the processes versus trying to meter it at the sort of machine level. So being able to meter it higher up the stack makes it get us closer to the application and closer to the workload. So what is the meter? You somehow probe that system? Yes, so we build software for, we build meters. Software meters. That's what we do, yes. Software meters. And those meters basically are used to meter a particular infrastructure. Our premise is to meter from the outside. So we never want to be inside like an agent because then that affects the consumption of the actual thing we're metering. So we basically create meters that then interrogate the whole infrastructure. So be a group of virtual machines, containers, whatever, physical machines, and then report back to usage. So you're looking for, okay, what's the application doing? Exactly. And what resources is it consuming? That's correct. And then it gets to how much does that cost? And that's an internal cost. Exactly, so the way we do cost, we make it simple, right? It's a dollar per kilowatt. So you just add a dollar figure to the unit and some infrastructures are high-performing infrastructures. Some infrastructures are low-performing infrastructures. Therefore, you can adjust costs based on performance. So does a customer take their, you don't really care what they do. The system doesn't care. Put whatever input in you want it. But what do customers typically do? What's best practice? Do they take their capital budget? Do they take their operating budget? Do they take a blend? So what we sort of do is quote, unquote, start away, because it could, every company is different. They do their own ways of allocating resources. But the start away is to basically take your fixed costs and your operating costs and boil it down to a price per month that you use to, that it costs you to run that infrastructure. And then what we do is we have a methodology to find out the capacity, the productive capacity of your infrastructure. So now you know the productive capacity. You know what it costs you. You can divide that up and say how much per kilowatt you're going to charge. So most customers can probably get to that figure reasonably easily, right? Correct. I mean, it's when you ask them to figure out exactly what you're doing, right? I've dealt with a zillion customers before. How much does each application consume? They're like, hi, hi. Right, but that's what we do. So you know your costs. We know what the applications are consuming. But what they normally do is they call a PWC and they send in an army of people and they take six months. That's right, a million dollars and then they get the answer. Can you just walk us through kind of the scope of what infrastructure you can cover, what environments, as well as are there limitations as to which applications you can look through? Yeah, so currently we support virtualized environments. So VMware is one and Zen is another. And then we also support physical hardware but that's where we have to put agents unfortunately for physical hardware. So we support Windows and Linux. And then what we're working on now is to add OpenShift to our list of supported platforms to meter and monitor, meter containers. Okay, so great. So you've had this offer for a while and now you're getting into OpenShift. Why don't you walk us through what led you to OpenShift? Why is it a fit for what you're doing at Sixfusion and ultimately what's the benefit for your customers? All right, so what led us to OpenShift is that we created a prototype and said, I think this will work with OpenShift but we wanted to find out what the customers feel. So we met a couple of folks at OpenShift and they recommended us to the OpenShift commons where we did sort of a briefing of our prototype. And once the customers were able to see our prototype through OpenShift commons, then we got some feedback from the customers about what to do, how to make it better, what to change, what are they looking for? And we find that a lot of people find that they need the metering, especially with OpenShift because being able to meet a group of containers that are very transient, they come and go is kind of tough. Yeah, it's a great point. I mean, I think when we launched virtualization we worried about VM sprawl. And I've heard in the container world there's concern about microservices, you could have services that are just growing out, they're almost like a sprawl there. So having some way to understand it should be really useful. Exactly. And being able to track that. All right, go ahead. So that co-creation is really interesting too. Where are you along the development of this? How long do you think it'll take you to kind of fully embrace OpenShift? Right, so currently we're in the phase where we're doing the planning for our product. So we've done the prototype phase, we know what ideas we want to build, and now we're working towards the productization of our plans. So I can't really say when that will be released at this point, but we hope it's going to be released within the year. So this is a good example of internet of things. Yeah, exactly. In fact, we have lots of them. So, okay, so take us through a typical customer scenario. So you come in and say, okay, I have a problem. What's the typical problem that they'll tell you? I don't know what's going on in my infrastructure, where I'm spending, where I'm consuming, help me sort that out so that I can charge back or just so that I know. Right, so we have a lot of use cases. The main problem here, people say, I don't even know what my state of affairs are. So we have a bench line in process where we say, okay, great, we'll install our meters and we can tell you what you're consuming today. Create a baseline. Create a baseline. And then the next step is, okay, after I have a baseline, I then want to either optimize, might be a path that they take. I want to make my costs, I want to lower my costs by improving my consumption rates and my consumption patterns, or they might decide that they want to take that particular infrastructure and move it to a cloud platform or a pass or some other platform, because that's what they were thinking of doing and needed to know what that could potentially cost. Of course, in most common cases, that they just want to be able to charge back or build back the consumption to the constituents. What do you do with all the data that you collect? Well, we keep it all, number one. But we all, our company is theoretically a data company. So the meters are a means to an end. We want to be able to provide information to our customers about trends and about market consumption patterns of applications and trends in the market because our ultimate goal is to trade compute. To trade compute? Yes. Yeah, so I mean, I would think you could tell me, look, you're consuming this for these applications and you're way over consuming compared to the, here's the mean. Right. You're over here. Exactly. You should be here. If you want to get here, these are the things that you have to do. Exactly. We can basically say that, listen, you're 50% more than a particular company in your vertical or in your market. So you want to create a marketplace? That's correct. Kind of the, well, it's really not Uber, but it's Uber-like. It's got extra capacity here. Let's use it over here. That's correct. So what's the technology that is required to enable that?  I guess that's probably the easy part, you got to have a way to share that resource. Right. So our goal is not to move from Berkeley to Ron. That's not the business we want to be in. Our goal is basically to track and provide reporting to our customers. We want to be similar to like the Bloomberg of IT. So we want to be able to help our customers, whether they be buyers of IT or suppliers of IT to get more informed information to make decisions on what they do. I'll give you an example. You might have particular application types that are common in the market or in the world, and you have to now decide if you want to build a new infrastructure. That design of that infrastructure should fit the common market workload types that exist, the common consumption patterns. So being able to give that information to suppliers is something that could be useful. Yeah, that's really interesting. You know, I think back to the early days of VMware. We knew that VMware could really consolidate workloads because we were hugely underutilizing what we had today. I'm curious, do you have, you know, what is kind of standard or best practice today? Because we argue internally, my CTO when I came on board, I said, oh yeah, customers are getting, you know, 25, 30% he's like, stoop, they're getting like 10% if they're good. And if they're heavily virtualized and use a lot, you know, maybe they're getting 20%. And the hyperscale guys, you know, maybe you're getting a 50% or more certain environments where they might bake some out to get a little bit higher, but it's rare to see somebody, you know, really utilizing what they have. And therefore that's a lot of, you know, kind of waste out there. That's correct. For us, when we go into customers, generally we find that they get around the 30 to 40% of their usage, of their capacity, I should say. And so what we want to encourage customers to do is understand that and then figure out what they can do to improve that. Now you can't just throw any workload on any box. It has to be workloads that fit together like a puzzle. And so being able to help customers, you know, mix and match the right workloads is also part of the benefits of our product. So, you know, from a success story, you know, it says 30 to 40% is kind of pretty good today.   Right. So from my point of view, I can't really say that we changed that game for them. I think we're more of the company that helps them understand what to do next. And therefore we don't get the outcome after they make their decision, but I think that's something we could probably look into. How big a company are you? Employee size, revenue, whatever metrics you want to share with us? Yeah, we're a small company, we're a startup. So we have about 15 employees. One five. One five, very small. And private, obviously self-funded? Private, yeah, privately funded, yeah, privately funded. So we do have two venture partners, grow tech partners, grow tech ventures, and I can't forget them. So you're taking VC money, that's okay. We do have VC money. The other ones. So talk a little bit more about the tech behind Six Fusion. What's your role as CTO? What are you sort of cobbling together? What's the secret sauce? You want me to tell you the secret sauce?   All right. Without giving away the store. We'll get a little whiteboard for you if you could please show us the diagram. We'll take some pictures. It's like an episode of Silicon Valley. Yeah, I bet like that episode too. How do you do that? So I mean, our main secret sauce is the way in which we combine those six metrics together to make one. That's our main secret sauce. That algorithm that you use. That algorithm that we use. After that, it's simple. And that's our goal, is to make it simple. We want to make it just as simple as how you buy electricity, right?  So just want to make it simple. And you don't unpack that algorithm for your customers? We don't, but we don't hide the six metrics either. So we give both the consumption numbers and the six metrics. So you get seven metrics out of that. Do people ever say, it doesn't look right to me? Do they ever say that? People... Or do they not say that because they just don't know? Well. If they just don't know, then you can tell them anything. Yeah, most people look at the six metrics and they're like, okay, this makes sense. Because it's not like we hide the six metrics. So they can go and look at it and say, okay, I understand what you're doing. But they don't challenge you how you got there. They don't really care at that point. Because they know it all adds up to a hundred percent. That's really what they care about. That's correct. So we don't have much challenge. Actually in a lot of ways they say, hey, it's not us. We have this independent software framework that allows us to do that. And we're not the buyers or the sellers in this equation. We have no ulterior motives here. We're not here to sort of get them to buy more of what they're already buying. Our goal is to just make it visible to you. So you can make a good decision. Is that tech patentable or is that? Yes, we do have a patent. You do, on the algorithm. Yes, it already exists. And approved. We could look it up then. That's right. Just go in line. It is public. So your software started out in the virtualized world and you're starting to look in containers. Is OpenShift what helps you to get there? You know, do we think containers is going to greatly change how utilization is done? And I just, what's your mindset around containers? So, first of all, containers, like I mentioned earlier, allows us to get higher up the stack, right? We can go into the machine and see what the applications and the processes are consuming. And what I like about OpenShift is that they allow, they take containers and turn that into services. And being able to see the, say, 10 or 100 containers that are operating together to perform a particular function is what we want to meter. What the customer cares about, right? The individual containers might not necessarily be that useful. Okay, cool. So you've been working the booth here at the show. Bring us in, what comes to your conversation we're having? You know, what are the challenges they're facing? You know, how many good conversations do you have and they kind of fit what you're looking at? Yeah, we're having a lot of good conversations. In fact, people, after seeing me on the comments, doing a video on the comments, they just walk up to me and say, hey, yeti guy, on the comments, talking about meter and microservices. And I'm like, yes, and I give them a little brief and they're saying this is exactly what we need. We're getting people from different countries as well, first from Singapore, came up to us today to talk about how they can use this in one of their customer engagements. So we are getting some good feedback. Of course, we were at prototype stage, so until we can actually get this product in their hands, we'll have to see what comes after that. All right, so what's next for you guys? You're trying to get into that sort of business of putting buyers and sellers together. What's the timeframe for that and when should we expect that? So we're already working with a partner we call UCX, partner named UCX, that is already working in parallel with us in order to get the idea of trade and compute in the minds of people. So I believe our timeline right now is to get it done in the next year to two years, is to get people using the WACC and being familiar with it in their everyday processes. And how about the last word on Red Hat Summit, your partnership with Red Hat? Yeah, I think Red Hat was awesome in sort of welcoming us into their partner ecosystem and through the comments, that was a great way to, one, get information about OpenShift and two, to meet some folks that potentially could be customers for us, so we're very appreciative of Red Hat. Delano, see more cool stories, Six Fusion, really interesting and solving a problem that's been around for a long, long time is what am I consuming? So thanks very much for coming in theCUBE, really appreciate it. Thank you very much for having me. All right, keep right there, everybody. We'll be back with our next guest right up to this. This is theCUBE, we're live from Boston, Red Hat Summit, we'll be right back.


The Jack Benny program transcribed and presented by Lucky Strike. Feeling low, feeling tender. Okay, because Lucky's fine tobacco picks you up when you're low, calms you down when you're tense. Put you on the right level to feel and do your level best. That's what fine tobacco can do for you. And L-S-M-F-T, L-S-M-F-T. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, smooth, mild, thoroughly enjoyable tobacco. So next time you buy cigarettes, ask for a carton of Lucky Strike and get on the right level. The Lucky Level, where you feel your best and do your best. Yes, smoke a Lucky to feel your level best. The Jack program starring Jack Benny with Mary Louise and Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight Jack has a date to take Mary to a movie. So let's go out to his house in Beverly Hills where Rochester is helping him get ready. Rochester, get out my razor and give me a shave, please. Oh, boss, do I have to shave you too? Last night I gave you a haircut. You did? Yeah, didn't you notice it when you put it on this morning? Well, that's the silliest thing I ever heard of. The hair on a toupee doesn't grow. The one you bought doesn't. I'm talking about the one you trapped yourself. Which one was that? The one with the white stripe. I had to comb it with an air wig.  Okay, hold still while I lather you up. Rochester, do you have to use that mug? Hold still, boss. Passing by and I say, that looks wonderful. Trying to blow the foam off. It's me.  It's not a brass rail. What a guy. All right. I'm sorry, Jackson. What do you want, Phil? Well, I just brought by to ask if you can come over to the house tomorrow night. You see, I'm throwing a little party. Oh, sure, Phil. I'll be glad to come. Shall I have dinner first? No, of course not. I've got everything all set. I've been preparing for the party all week. Yeah, what do you have? Well, there'll be Manhattan's, old-fashioned's, bourbon high balls, martini, scotch and soda. Phil! Phil, wait a minute. I mean food. Food? What? I said, what are you going to have to eat? Well, if you don't like olives, don't come. Look, a pimento boy. How the world... Ouch! Mr. You cut me. It's about time you felt it. I did it a minute ago. Why didn't you tell me? I thought you were dead. Don't be funny. Did you cut me bad? Ah, it's nothing, boss. I just snipped the stem off your Adam's apple. You clumsy thing. I have to buy a collar button. Phil. Phil, about the party. I'll be at your house at eight o'clock. What's the occasion? It's Alice's birthday. Oh, good. Good. I'll bring her some candy. Jackson, you gave her candy last year and she never got to eat any of it. She didn't? No, she was carrying it upstairs and the bag broke. Gee, that's a shame. And those jaw breakers rolled so, too. I'll get the square ones this time. Uh-oh! What's the matter, Rochester? Did I cut you again? Can't you tell? It would help if you'd bleed a little. Well, I'm not going to force myself just for you. Say, Phil, what are you giving Alice for her birthday? Well, I got it right here in this little box. Let me show it to you. There. Isn't that pretty? Oh, Phil, what a beautiful gold locket. She loved that. Well, open it up, Jackson. There's a picture inside. No, Phil, I'd rather not. Alice should be the first one to see it. Oh, we don't mind, Jackson. Gee, you're like one of the family. Go ahead. Open the locket. Well, all right. Now, isn't that sweet? A picture of Patrillo. Yeah. That's very nice.  I closed the locket. Here. Well, look, Phil, I wish I had more time to talk to you, but I'm taking Mary to the movies pretty soon. I've got to get dressed. Just one more bobby pin, Miss Livingston, and I'll have your hair finished. There. Here's the mirror. Oh, Pauline, I've never had my hair thick so nice before. Oh, it is nice, isn't it? It's a brand new hairdo. I bought on television the other night. On a style show? No, I'm gorgeous, George. Well, it's time I got something back. You learned the hack Nelson for my sister, Babe. Now, hurry, Pauline. I don't want to be late. Mr. Benny has taken me to the movies. We're going to the cameo theater. The cameo? Yes, Pauline.  Not since they raised the price to 15 cents. 15 cents? Oh, they had to do that when they sandpapered the benches. Benches. He would. I'm going to call up Mr. Benny and tell him... Oh, I'll get it, Miss Livingston. Hello, Pauline. Oh, hello, Miss Stanwick. Is Miss Livingston in? Yes, Miss Stanwick. Here she comes now. Hello, Mary. Oh, hello, Barbara. Gee, I'm glad to see you. How's Bob? He's fine. Say, Mary, am I intruding? You look like you're going out. If you want to call it that. Jack's taking me to movie, and I just found out it's a 15-cent one. I'll bet it's the cameo theater. It is the cameo. Has Bob ever taken you there? Not since they sandpapered the benches. Oh, for heaven's sake, I didn't know Bob was cheap, too. Well, he wasn't always, Mary, but he started running around with Jack and got some of it on him. Well, it is contagious. Anyway, Barbara, what are you doing tonight? Nothing. Good. Then you come to the movies to him. We'll make Jack buy three tickets. Well, what? We'll make Jack buy three tickets. Okay, while you're choking him, I'll use my breast knuckles. Well, anyway, let's try. Come on, let's go over to Jack's house. Okay. Oh, by the way, Barbara, that's a beautiful hair, do you have? Gorgeous, George? No, nature boy. Well, it's very becoming. Come on, let's go. You nicked me so many times. Did you cut me very deep? Last time, you're going to shave me. It almost was. Oh, that must be Mary now. Come in. Hello, Mr. Benny. Did you hear the one about the two Irishmen who got on a street car? Come on in, Dennis. Thank you. Did you hear the one about the two Irishmen who got on a street car? Close the door, kid. Okay. Did you hear the one about the two Irishmen who got on a...  Thanks. Did you hear the one about the two Irishmen who got on a street car? No, no, I didn't. I wish you had. I forgot the answer. What did you come over for? Well, do I have to have a reason to come over and see you? No, I just...  Dennis, I merely asked you why you came over here. Well, watch it next time. Kid, I'm not going to stand here and... Come in. Good. Now we can go to... Hello, Jack. Mary invited me to come over. Barbara, Barbara, wait for your applause. She got it at my house. Oh, Barbara, I want you to meet Dennis Day. Dennis, this is Barbara Stanwyck. Barbara Stanwyck? Gee. Hello, little man.   Well, I want Miss Stanwyck to have respect for me. I do respect you, and I think you're very sweet. You do? Of course I do. Would you ask me for a date if you were sure I'd accept? Well, I wouldn't say that. You see, the man I like to go out with is... Well, my husband, Robert Taylor. But he's married. I certainly hope so. Well, come on, Jack. Let's just start it. It's time we went to the movies. You know, Mary, as long as Barbara dropped in, it isn't polite for you and me to go to the movies. I've only got two passes, you know. That's all he gave me for sandpapering the benches. But say, kids, I've got an idea. Why don't we stay home and play gin rummy? I don't want to play gin rummy. But girls, you wouldn't enjoy yourselves. It's a western picture. Oh, I love a good western. But it's not a good western, Barbara. It's even been refused by television. Believe me, it's no good. Well, if you don't want to go, we'll go by ourselves. Come on, Barbara. Okay, so long, kids. Oh, by the way, girls, would you like my passes? No, we can make a better deal at the box office. Okay. Now, Dennis... Just a minute. Oh, Miss Stanwyck! Yes. Dennis! Now, I wish... I wish you wouldn't act so silly. What did I do that was silly? Trying to date a Barbara Stanwyck at your age. Would be sillier at your age. What did you say? Miss Stanwyck would have fallen in love with me if it hadn't meant for you. Me? What did I have to do with it? She thinks you're Winston Churchill. Oh, quiet. Anyway, now, what makes you think Miss Stanwyck would fall in love with a kid like you? I could tell by the way she looked at me. Huh? If you and Miss Livingston hadn't been here, she couldn't have controlled herself. Dennis... Dennis, what's happened to you? I don't know, but it feels good. I had just about enough out of you. You come over to my house, eat my fruit, and I've been watching you.  Okay, and goodbye. Goodbye. And get your hand out of the fruit bowl. Now, go home and think it over. I'll show Mr. Benny such a wise guy. Pays me $35 a week and expects me to sing good. I'll get even with him. Next Sunday, I'll sing lousy. That's what I'll do. You're done right. I'll sing like this. It's a use of A or a gaze and a claw. There's a brave new star, Spangled Sky, a Turkish July. But I'll sing lousy on the program if I have to practice to do it. I'll show Mr. Benny. Learned I passed my house. I always do that. I always do that, too. I was just over to Mr. Benny's house. Well, take a bath and no one will notice it. Okay. Say, Pop, I just had a big fight with Mr. Benny about Barbara Stanwyck. Who? Barbara Stanwyck. Gee, Pop, is she beautiful? She's got eyes like stars, lips like rubies, a figure like Venus de Milo, and... Gee, Pop, am I making you nervous? No, why? You're tearing up Mother's picture. I'll get the glue. You mind your... Even you're against me. Everybody's against me. I'm gonna get undressed and go to bed. I can get along without Jack Benny, believe me. And another thing, from now on, I'm gonna listen to Fred Allen with the door wide open. More of that sneaky stuff. I'll show Mr. Benny. Boy, this bet feels good. I don't need Jack Benny. Take your hands out of the fruit bowl. Take your hands out of the fruit bowl. I only ate three apples. What's he yelling about anyway? They made a wax. Benny doesn't know it, but a lot of people have told me I ought to be the star of the program. Girls will be crazy about me. Can you imagine? Star of the Lucky Strike program. Dennis Day, a big star. All the girls will be crazy about me. Big star. Girls. Big star. Girls. Dennis Day with Winston Churchill. Alec Khan. Two Irishmen on a streetcar. Our singing star, Margaret... Again, this is Dennis Day coming to you from Galway Bay, and we will open the show with a song by Frankie Harris and Dinah Livingston. Hi, Lon. Hello. Hi, Lon. I love these eight words. I've been smoking Lucky's for an eye on the 63 years. I know. You told it to me when we got on the streetcar. For our feature attraction tonight... Answer the phone, Don. Yes, sir. Hello? Hello. I'd like to speak to Dennis Day, please. This is Miss Stanwyck. Miss Stanwyck? Gee. Just a minute, please. It's for you, Dennis. It's Barbara Stanwyck. Oh, is that Dame calling again? It drives me nuts. Tell her I'm not in. But, Dennis...  Tell her I'm not in. Okay. Miss Stanwyck, I'm sorry, but Mr. Day isn't in. I know he's there. I know it. I heard his voice. Tell him I've got to speak to him. Please, please. Yes, ma'am. Dennis, she insists on talking to you. Oh, all right. I'll give her a thrill. Hello? Dennis. Dennis, I must talk to you. It's urgent. Oh, hello, urgent.  Dennis. Dennis, I haven't heard from you in five days. What's the matter? What's happened between us? You've been neglecting me. You've changed, Dennis. You're not the same. I know it. I can feel it. If there's anything I should know, I wish you'd tell me. Well, if you must know, I don't love you anymore, Toots. Do this to me, Dennis, after you've made me give up nature, boy. You alone. Some place where we can talk. Meet me at the Brown Derby. The Brown Derby? Okay. Goodbye. Goodbye, darling. Until I see you again, the minutes will drag like hours. The hours will drag like days. The days will drag like...  Thank you. Oh, well. I might as well meet her and get this over with. It's crowded here at the Brown Derby. A table for Mr. Day. A table for Mr. Day. A day for Mr. Table. A day for Mr. Table. A day for Mr. Table. A Derby for Mr. Brown. A Derby for Mr. Brown. A Derby for Mr. Day. It's Derby Day. I've seen you. It was never like this before. Never. Not so loud. People are listening. Let's order something to eat. Oh, waiter. Waiter. Yes, Mr. Day. What will you have, sir? Two fried Irishmen on a whole wheat streetcar. Yes, sir. And what will you have, madame? The same thing and whole the transfer. Yes, madame. But first, would you mind standing up for a minute? Why? I want a sandpaper at the benches. Thank you. Oh, Dennis, it's been such a wonderful evening. Just being near you again has given me something to live for. Well, I'm sorry, sugarfoot, but this is the end. I'm never going to see you again. No. No, Dennis, darling, don't say that. You mustn't say that. I love you. I love you. You mustn't leave me. You mustn't. Tell me more. You fascinate me. You're urgent. Unless you're making fun of me. Who wouldn't dare? Goodness, she did it. She did it. Oh, waiter. Wait. Separate checks, please. She killed herself, but it wasn't my fault. I'm not to blame. Oh, yes, you are, Dennis Day. Wait a minute. You're not the waiter. You're Jack Benny. Yes. And I saw you kill her. No, no, I didn't, Mr. Benny. Really, I didn't. She killed herself. Yes. And you're just letting her lie there. You won't even give her a lucky so she'll feel her level best. Yes, Dennis Day, you drove her to suicide and you'll sit and fry in the electric chair. No, I won't. No, I won't. Barbara, Barbara, speak to me. You've killed her. She's dead. Barbara, speak to me.   What for? They gave it to Jane Wyman. Okay, good night, Pop. Just a moment, but first, put you on the right level to feel and do your level best. That's why it's so important for you to select and smoke the cigarette of fine tobacco, Lucky Strike. Remember, L-S-M-F-T, L-S-M-F-T, L-S-M-F-T, L-S-M-F-T, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. No wonder more independent tobacco experts, auctioneers, buyers, and warehousemen smoke Lucky Strike regularly than the next two leading brands combined. Yes, Lucky's are the overwhelming choice of the men who really know tobacco. So when you choose your cigarette, remember that Lucky's fine tobacco picks you up when you're low, calms you down when you're tense. Put you on the right level to feel your best and do your best. Smoke a... Yes, that's how to get on the lucky level. Next time you buy cigarettes, ask for a carton of Lucky Strike. Smoke a... Lucky... Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank Ruby Stevens, better known as Barbara Stanwyck, for appearing here tonight, for appearing here tonight through the courtesy of Robert Taylor, better known as Spangler Arlington Doors. And be sure to listen to Eugene Patrick McNulty in A Day in the Life of Dennis Dan. Good night, folks. And the Universal International Production The Lady Gamble. This program is transcribed.

Okay. Good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Krista Burns, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the commission's weekly online event, yes, you can call us a webinar, where we cover anything that may be of interest to librarians. We do these sessions live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time, but they are recorded, so if you're unable to join us on Wednesday mornings, that's fine. We always go to our website and watch and listen to all of our recordings of all of our previous sessions that we have done. We do a mixture of things here on the show, presentations, many training sessions, interviews. Basically, if it's related to libraries, we'll put it on the show. We are not very picky in that way. We have commission staff that do sessions sometimes, our own Nebraska Library Commission staff sharing services and things that we do here, but also do bring in guest speakers when we want to. So that's what we have this morning. We have officially three different staff, people, and you'll see what I mean by that in a second, from the University of Nebraska Extension Office that are going to talk to us about the services and programs that they have there available to you. First, well, I'm not sure who will be up first in talking, Carol Larvick is on the line with us. Carol, can you say hi? Hello. And I know you have with you there... Angela Apps is here. Good morning. And we have on video Dennis Call. Great. Okay. So I will just hand over to you guys. You can start your talk. And, okay, there we go. I see your slides. Just switch to that. So you are good to go. Go ahead. Well, good morning. We're here today to share about the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension and some of the great resources that we have available to the public to help them in making decisions. The major focuses of UNL Extension and some ideas to how we have partnered with our local library to give you some ideas how you could partner with the University of Nebraska Extension in your own area. Again, my name is Carol Larvick and I am an Extension Educator with the University of Nebraska Extension. And the picture should be coming up there so you can see what I look like. We have Angela with us today also and she'll be talking some a little later. And Dennis was not able to join us. He is out teaching a leadership class today, and he supported a few of the things that he wanted to talk about. So we'll be watching those in a little bit. When we first start out, the best way to start out is to get an overall picture of Extension and how it connects to people in each county. And so when we think about that, we want to think very broad and realize that there are Extension offices in almost every state in the United States. And if you were to explain Extension to someone not familiar with us, you might say that Extension helps people understand and apply research. So somebody on campus does some research, and the picture that we have here is a scientist, but there's a lot of different kind of research that goes on. And then we need to get it out to the people so they understand how that research can better their lives. The land grant universities were established by Congress in 1862 and 1890 by the Morrill Acts. And then in 1914, the Smith-Lieber Act included Cooperative Extension. And that's the red arrow, sending somebody from that university that has learned what happened in research out to the people to be able to have the people be able to use that research. So our mission in land grant universities are to teach students on campuses and off campuses to conduct research and then to extend that research to every community in the state. On a national level, we've collaborated across many of the Extension offices and we put together a program we called E-Extension because it encompasses so many different organizations of Extension in so many different subject matter areas. And we put that all together so that if the University of Nebraska doesn't have the answer, we might be able to get it from a different university. And that website, you can see it up on your screen now of where we go to and I've actually pulled up the screen that talks a little bit about some of the different things that are on Extension. Today we're going to focus though on the University of Nebraska and we cover not only Nebraska, but across the world, but our focus is in Nebraska. So think back with me. Have you had an encounter with Cooperative Extension? In the University of Nebraska right now, we just call it Extension, but it started out as Cooperative Extension with county agents. And when you think of Extension, if you've had an experience with us in the past, is it like this picture of the county agent? What do you think of when you see this picture? Well, I think of Extension as a family affair. Notice the whole family is there. Families long ago may have looked like this. Families today may not look exactly like this. They may have a different number of kids, a different number of parents. They may not live on a farm. But when I think of Extension, I think of the whole family learning. And in this case, they're learning together. And the Extension agent in this picture is teaching by an example. He's showing how to judge that dairy calf. The young girl that is holding the calf is not only learning about the calf, but if you'll notice tucked underneath her arm is a record book. She's learning about keeping records. Also, there's diversity in this picture. Do you notice that each child in this picture has something different they're going to bring to the county agent to learn about? One has the calf. Another one looks like a rabbit.  Today, Extension still includes cows, rabbits, clothing, families. But we don't ride around in the 1953 Chevy pickup that this agent probably came to this farm in. Today we use computers, smart phones, and the tools of today to teach about the topics of today. So let's take a look at how you can know the current topics that UNL Extension is working on and how it can help you in your library. You can see here in this slide that we may teach by different modes. We may build community and teaching and learning using technology. We try to be research-based and current to what's going on in society. And we look at learning experiences to accomplish intended outcomes. We know that learning is a process, not just an event. So in the next segment, we're going to share with you some highlights of each of what we call action team focus areas. We also will have a principal PDF that we'll share with you that has a handout to a lot of the resources linked on there. It's got the main links of the websites that we'll visit that you'll be able to then go easily and find what you're looking for. You may want to have those available. You can link them on your website or you just may want to have that available. So when somebody would ask you a question, you could go to their email. As we said earlier, Dennis is not able to be with us today. He's teaching a leadership class. But he did record a session talking about many of the focus areas of UNL Extension. His segment is about 10 minutes long. And now is the time that we'll look at that segment. Okay, great. Thanks, Carol. I just want to let everyone know too, yes, before I get the video going, you were mentioning the PDF handout. I have that. So as some of you know, when we're done with this, I'll post that up on the recording page along with the recording of the show and all of the links that are on it. And some things that I know, Carol, you already showed one page there. We'll also be put into the commission's delicious account. I've been working on that this morning already since I had the PDF. So you have access to all of those web pages and anything that's been mentioned as well. So hold on just a sec here. I'm going to switch over to myself and... All right, you should be seeing the video. I haven't started it yet. Can you see it there, Carol? Yes. Okay, great. All right, hold on a sec. I'll start his video. So as we look at the action team focus areas, start to think of ways that you might partner with Extension in the future with resources and educational programs for youth and adults or how you might reach additional people with online digital tools. Here you're going to see the six key focus groups, the action focus groups that the University of Nebraska Extension addresses. We're going to briefly explain the key education and information focus of each group and provide a wide range of information that can reach a lot of different types of clientele. Beef production is one of the largest industries in Nebraska. The University of Nebraska research has provided cattle feeders and cow cat producers with the research necessary to keep the beef industry strong. With the following few glimpses of beef websites, we're able to access the key beef.unl.edu information to help people find good solid research-based data. At beef.unl.edu, cattle feeders and producers are able to find the information they need to make those economical decisions. As you can see by the sidebar on the left, UNL Extension provides cattle producers with research-based information on caring for their cattle, preparing quality feed, budgeting, and much more. Last year's drought created new issues for producers. Immediately, UNL Extension was ready with lots of drought information. Resources to help producers design a drought management plan and ideas to consider before and during a drought was great. The National Drought Monitor at the top is a national-wide resource that is headquartered in Nebraska. In the lower right bottom of the screen, producers can click on that drought resources graphic that will take them to lots of information to help with drought decisions such as culling cows, reducing feed costs, etc. The interactive call-in with phone and or use chatroom type webinars can be viewed live or participants can do archived webinars. In addition to that, there are some beef short courses and other courses and programs that are also available to producers. Family topics for producers are also important and they encourage people to subscribe to newsletters to keep them up-to-date with the latest information which this time of year there tends to be a lot. Online learning opportunities are also available for producers. There are several mobile apps for producers to use with cattle. Mobile apps allow producers to have the app on their phone to record data or find answers. This area in the beef reports has a summary of the research conducted by scientists and graduate students in UNL Animal Science Department. Another focus area is water and environment. It includes several program areas including acreage, lawn and landscape as well as water. You can see some of the highlighted programs on this website. The website environment.unl.edu focuses on education and outreach on sustainable landscapes for the environment, economics, energy and emotions which are social benefits. Last year's emphasis on drought mitigation helped prepare landscapers and homeowners for planting and preparing and protecting their plants through the drought. Backyard Farmer is a second longest running TV show and it's part of the acreage and landscape program. We have weekly TV broadcasts of Backyard Farmer as well as horticulture updates for lawns, trees, shrubs, landscapes, fruits, vegetables and more. You get a monthly to-do calendar of things to do in the garden as well as on the lawn and lots of videos on horticulture topics. We even have some apps for iPhone and iPad and androids right now. Turfgrass, turf.unl.edu is also a great science, provides turf information for consumers and professionals. It's updated often during the growing season. Lawn calendars for different turf grasses with mowing, fertilizing, herbicides, insect control, patch removal and other things or recommendations are in that calendar. And information on presentations given by UNL staff and publications are also at this site. Master Gardeners are a great part of the volunteer network we have. Information about becoming a UNL Master Gardener and resources for Master Gardeners is available also on this site mastergardener.unl.edu. Acreage Insights, topics of interest for those living on acreages with videos and how-tos. There's a great newsletter that comes out each month that kind of gives some of the latest things you should do and the things you should be doing, prepare for the next season and so forth. Create resources for animals as well. Water.unl.edu provides research data to Nebraska's most important resource, that of water. Work with Nebraska's public water suppliers and customers as well as families with private wells to help them manage their water systems and use water for indoor and outdoor needs wisely, especially during drought conditions. Research and education is available to help producers and commercial service providers such as lawn care companies and pesticide companies as well as hometown homeowners in protecting the quality of our state's water resources. They have efforts in wise manure management, sewage treatment, nutrient management, pesticide use and many other things. And then there's, of course, the irrigation. Nebraska has a lot of irrigation sitting on a great aquifer. We continually are doing research and education to help producers grow more crop for the drop, or in other words, to be as efficient as possible with irrigation water. Extension has always been about rural communities and now has an action team that focuses on hands-on educational processes that help members of communities be innovative and their plans to be sustainable in the future. Here are the Entrepreneurship Action Team's three signature programs. ECAP, ESIN Beyond, Business Ventures and Innovation. We also are very much connected with the Angular Agri-Brisness Program for students at the University of Nebraska. Note eship.unl.edu as our website. Entrepreneurial Communities Activation Process is a statewide research project with communities to help the community learn their strengths and to capitalize on strengths, thus making improvements to other characteristics that will help make their communities sustainable. ECAP is a holistic approach. ECAP helps communities understand unique characteristics, community assets and potential opportunities for growth. Extension is one of the three tiers of the University of Nebraska, bringing application of the teaching and research that the University of Nebraska does for residents of the state. When we bring individuals, businesses, and community organizations together to create change, we have a dynamic focused task as an eship team that's helping communities learn to help themselves be sustainable. ECAP evolves around eight community characteristics that research has shown are important for a sustainable, successful community. Several social media tools are used to share research and entrepreneurial tools. Huskerpreneur.com is our blog. And Twitter is a constant social media tool to reach out to a variety of entrepreneurs and resource providers. ESI and beyond is a comprehensive plan to help youth develop their entrepreneurial skills and find their business niches and help communities support and encourage their young entrepreneurs. This series of youth curriculums is centered around building the next generation of business leaders beginning at age 10. ESI, Entrepreneurship Investigation is an exciting, interactive, and comprehensive curriculum project designed for youth ages 10 to 19. Over 10,000 manuals have been distributed across the United States. One of the popular offshoots of ESI is the ESI camp. Leap into careers is a learning educational action plan curriculum that was developed to help youth understand various career opportunities in Nebraska and career education fields and clusters. School standards are included in this curriculum. Community connections is a guide to help communities encourage youth who are learning about entrepreneurship in their communities. This is a project of needing encouragement and respect from adults in their communities, as well as needing community members to support them by being their customers. Every one of the entrepreneurial youth told us they'd like to stay in their home community to build their business. So this guide is designed to help communities understand that. Business Ventures and Innovation, BVI. The BVI signature outcome focus is creativity and feasibility programs aimed at increasing the number of entrepreneurial opportunities that turn into sustainable agribusiness entrepreneurship. BVI team members deliver workshops and seminars. They provide one-to-one coaching and collaborate with other university and extension business support services, such as food science and technology, to assist businesses as they move through the various business creation stages. The Angler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the university is aimed to support and encourage entrepreneurship among UNL students. It facilitates entrepreneurship potential through lots of different things, including courses that lead to a minor, lectureship series, entrepreneurship training camps, internship placement systems, and student travel. It will also help create a venture capital fund to support student startup businesses. And this team actually focuses on helping producers conduct on-farm research that then leads them to learn and make decisions that will provide them with increased yields, lower inputs, and profitable sales of their projects. CropWatch.UNL.edu is a full-access website providing crop producers across the state valuable and timely information to make decisions by. By looking at the CropWatch.UNL.edu website, visitors will find links to any information they wish on the left-hand side of that screen. A second resource that this past year has really become a very national, or at least a Midwest resource is our own UNL's drought resources. Found at droughtresources.UNL.edu. It's a nationally recognized source of education and resource assistance as the Midwest suffers from drought. Social media, such as follow at UNL CropWatch on Twitter provides immediate response by extension educators visiting producers in the field by taking videos or pictures that can be uploaded to the links to Twitter. Producers can keep up to date with the latest concerns and thresholds of insects and diseases in their crops. I believe that's it on the video. Looks like it. Okay. Hand control back to you. Should be able to share your screen again. There you go. See your website. Good morning everyone. My name is Angela apps and I am a extension educator just like Carol with UNL and today we're going to be looking at some of the topics in early childhood as well as school age kids with some of our programs that we offer through the university. And one of them that you have can see here on the website is with early childhood and it is focused on the learning child is the kind of the name that highlights this area. A couple of the resources that are on this website that are very helpful and could be excellent programming opportunities would be the pyramid model which is for social and emotional development for young children. And so this would be a training modules that would be available for staff to come out and teach within your local community. Another resource that parents can download and use for themselves happens to be the parenting app which is you are parent and it has a wealth of information there for parents on ages and stages of their child's development as well as parenting resources that they might be able to use with different topics relating to that first year of life. The plan on this app I know is starting to work on expanding it to up to age 5 and hopefully even up to age 8. So this is a continuous process right here with you are parent. Another piece that is available out there for parents as well as child care providers happens to be the just in time parenting. This has some information here that really focuses in on some of the you are parent app pieces but other things that parents can have an email sent to them once a month that gives information on the development of their child as well as other research articles and this is from the extension that Carol mentioned earlier. The other one I want to show you if you know of any school teachers and I know the season for school is almost over but this would be a great one for teachers is text for teachers and I know I get this ever so often a text that's sent to my phone and it has helpful research based information for teachers to use within their classroom. It is focused on kids from age zero to eight so it does focus on the early life of the child but very good resources to help out teachers during that process. There are a couple other websites and things that you might want to think about and I wasn't able to find them on this page but one resource would be Building Better Kids and that is a Facebook page that has lots of information for you to follow on Facebook as well as on Twitter for parents and child care providers. A lot of the same information that's here on the website is basically sent on Facebook as well and then there also happens to be co-parenting for successful kids they have an online version of this training as well as face-to-face and so this would be another resource out there for parents to look for as another opportunity. I know it's focused on divorce but there are some resources here that focuses for anybody or for any child at that age for parenting since that is an area that a lot of families need. There's also I don't know if Carol hasn't mentioned it yet but UNL website has publications and there are several publications focused in on the family as well that has a lot of different topics and some of the topics I've seen happen to go with bullying in schools to anything to volunteerism there's lots of different topics out there and they are there for families to use as well. One of the other areas when we talk about youth it happens to be probably the 4-H youth development program and this is probably the program that we're most recognized for here in Nebraska as well as across the United States and extension but 4-H is a community of young people and they happen to be about ages 5 to 18 across America and one of the national goals happens to be that they're learning about leadership, citizenship and also life skills. Youth can be involved in 4-H programs in many different ways they may be in a club experience, an after school program school enrichment which would be staff visiting the school that the child is attending the classroom camps and conferences that are held at the state level as well as county and district level as well and then also there might be a specialty program that might be out there or the kid might be interested in joining in on that too so there's a lot of different ways that kids are able to participate in the program. Nebraska, one of their numbers or accomplishments one in three age-elible youth across all of our 93 counties in 4-H or I should say across the Nebraska are involved in 4-H in some form, either the camps and the conferences or even the school enrichment and this last year it equal to about 140,000 kids involved in youth development programs from the university. For youth in traditional 4-H there's over 150 projects for them to pick from and of course a lot of that is under your pick the project which is on this website and there's lots of information here and things to do for those families to look up information on project areas and I know we just heard from Dennis on that E, that entrepreneurship piece, that curriculum piece can be found on this website right here as well as other areas that might be of interest to that child. There are five different core areas that 4-H and youth development is focusing in on in the state there are one big area of science that we want to increase our number of scientists in the future and so one thing that 4-H is doing is working on science activities and one of the highlights would be probably robotics or even just doing some simple science experiments based off of I know there's kids out there dissecting eyeballs and learning how that all operates as well so there's a lot of research going out there that the youth are doing in our programs with science. Ag literacy is another core area where we're teaching youth about agriculture and where their food comes from so that is another place where we want to make sure that our youth are aware that Nebraska is business wise is very predominantly in egg and so we want them to be aware of where their food is at. Career development I think that Dennis showed you some pieces of the career curriculum that's out there there's also another career website as well that focuses in on the children learning about different opportunities maybe their 4-H project that they take helps them determine a college profession and then maybe even lead to a future job so that just gives them an opportunity to practice those skills as a youth decide to go in and train in that area of the college and then take a career out of that. Another area of citizenship and leadership where youth are learning how to be responsible citizens and so of course our theme this year is joining the revolution of responsibility which hits right into the citizenship and leadership part of 4-H and then the last core area that the youth are involved in are healthy it happens to be healthy living where they are learning skills on research information on nutrition to healthy behaviors rather than at risk behaviors how to decrease those as well as looking as exercise as another opportunity so there's lots of resources out there that youth are focused in on in those five areas. Also one other thing that we deal with with 4-H and youth development are finding volunteers and so volunteerism is a very big piece of our 4-H program and so the more volunteers we have the stronger our program is in our local communities as well as our counties and so this is probably that piece right here we are looking for volunteers and so there's lots of resources here to help volunteers feel comfortable in working with youth development opportunities. Some of the curriculum just so you guys are aware there's a wealth of curriculum on our website and I'll just kind of push here to show you that that there's several different areas that you might want to think about that might be an excellent opportunity to do a class or a workshop at your library on some of the different topics here this is in the Nebraska 4-H curriculum there's also a national curriculum as well that we have access to from the National 4-H Center that has other resources out there for kids there's also online webinars for families and volunteers. I know there's one that's going to be happening that's actually in the process right now of giving your best which is basically for volunteers as well as some older youth audiences on how they can volunteer back or give back to their local community and I know that there in the past has been what's called winter warm-up which is an opportunity for kind of like a judges training for anybody who is not familiar with the new project area or project area that we're best known for would probably be cows and cooking but sometimes we also need the latest technology updates in those four areas as well. The youth also have opportunities to be involved with camps and conferences and the big one that's coming up very soon in the month of June which is actually on UNL's campus is called the 2013 Big Red Summer Academic Camps and so you can see listed there these are the courses that the kids are retaking they focus in that whole time in June on that particular topic so it's a wonderful, in-depth kind of career college classes a little bit as well on what's going on on campus too. There's big the Nebraska 4-H Summer Camp right here. There's two sites currently right now in the state of Nebraska and so there's lots of different campsites and opportunities for the youth to participate in and then you can see there is a camp brochure there that you can download to look at the different camp opportunities out at the different sites across Nebraska. There's two main ones this year with camp opportunities for kids and not only that from the state level but there's lots of camps going on or different events during the whole year that are opportunities for youth to learn that might be from doing some simple classes maybe on learning on how fabric is made could be to how the digestion system of a cow happens I know they've got the mobile beef the mobile beef tech lab can actually put their hands inside the stomach of a cow and pull out and see what does that look like so there's lots of research lots of opportunities during the year for families not only that but we can also go into social media and mobile apps and like I said Facebook and Twitter as you can see Nebraska 4-H is on those social media opportunities we also have apps out there there's a career explorer app with a website that helps kids make career decisions snack planet might be an app that you might be interested in learning some nutrition as well as some exercise I know when you finish your little activity on your iPad or your Android phone then during the break you're supposed to use several different forms of exercise so it shows kids that tie in of choosing healthy foods exercise as well and then of course there's the grow it know it app which is showing kids some of the different products knowing where they come from and how it fits into Nebraska egg and then we do have a state fair app which some of you may have seen before which the state fair here has our schedule and dates here but there is an app out there that will show you results from state fair as well as some of the different events that are going on for each information so that we're able to keep families updated that are not able to be at state fair during that time you can still look up that information and see how those kids from your county or your town are doing so I'm going to turn this over to Carol we have questions about any of the stuff that we have shared so far please share or type in and we will get them answered thank you Angela we have one more area to cover and I'm excited that I get to be the one to cover it so let's move on to that it's food how many of you like food well I like food too but it's not only food it's nutrition and health and that's at food.unl.edu and you can see the site here there's a blog on the side and there's numerous nutrition blogs that you can go to it has lots of information on this site as we work to eating healthier it may be specific information such as diabetes or allergies it may be how to keep food safe or to preserve food maybe it's on buy fresh buy local Nebraska if you want to start a commercial food venture you can go to the site and go on to the site that will help you with that let's take a minute and look at my favorite one that's food safety most of the extension educators across Nebraska have a focus area that we work in quite often and minus food safety so as we look at the food safety site you can see that it has food storage safe food preparation and handling food barnelises and education and if we just scroll down you can go to each one of those one of the ones that I want to highlight is this one down at the bottom called four day throw away shooting my own horn here just a little bit it was one of the first apps developed by the University of Nebraska extension and we actually aren't able to do that on our campus we team did this app with Iowa State and so Iowa State did it and this happens to be the website not the app from it the website is pretty basic the app has a lot of details on it the app includes all of the micro organisms that you generally would get sick from about them how long it would take to get sick what kind of sick you would get from them and what foods would be commonly those micro organisms would be commonly found in now that's a difficult way to look them up so how you get to look them up is by the food and you can look up the food it will tell you how long you can keep it out in the open in a refrigerator or if you freeze it how long it should be kept frozen and then it says if you were to get sick from this food what most likely would you get sick from so I just have to make sure that I got that little plug in there before we go on let's go back to food safety and as you can see here there's education for different groups we might pick consumers and go to that and you can see some things that as you would maybe teaching consumers you could use hand washing posters table pens, handouts general food safety videos you might do and one that I thought we'd click on today to just give you a little piece of what's here it's test your summer food safety savvy it was put together by one of our educators Alice who does great work in the area of food I'm going to click through some of the slides here so you can see what it's like and then we'll come to the first question so this is your test for today why do food barn illnesses increase during the summer is it A bacteria including those that cause food barn illnesses tend to multiply faster and the temperatures are warm or B people are cooking and eating outside more away from the refrigerators thermometers and washing facilities of the kitchen or is it A and B the answer yes is C it's a combination of that warm weather leaving food more in the temperature area where the microorganisms can grow and being farther away from the kitchen so we may not store our food once it becomes a leftover correctly for enough time to just to show you general of what you could find on this website now let's say you have a food product that you're interested in maybe making it into a product that you'd sell at the grocery store and so you could come to where it says food processors and you could go and visit the food processing center pages and here you can find out some of the more general information that you might want as you're looking into that process and I would suggest the food processing center for anybody who has any interest in developing a food product for a sale now that's kind of the general just of all the different areas that we work in and we only touch the very surface of many of those areas we have educators, specialists and assistants who all are developing programs in that area working in that area can do a variety of things in that area to help out if you need help in that area you'll want to go to a few things that might give you a few other resources kind of combining some of the things from all those different areas the first one is Extension TV and the website is extensiontv.unl.edu and it has one at the top that would give us an overview of what's there but as I scroll down it's the most current ones right here if I scroll back up just a little bit you can list by new by popular or by all and you can work on it by categories too and the categories are listed up above there's a lot of videos on a variety of things backyard farmer market journal lead class pesticide container recycling we can see tree and shrub replacement if that was a problem from the drought you can go there and look at that adjunct or robotics robotics is becoming a major thing that Angela mentioned that that 4-Hers and youth are working on through extension all sorts of and it keeps coming up with more the farther that you scroll down the next area I'd like to look at is the mobile apps area and this particular one has a longer URL but it is on the handout that you'll get so you'll be able to go see that the beef ones are fairly new so you can see they're listed here and the alfalfa one is also somewhat new there is an extension one just to locate the extension offices if you'd like and we can scroll down and you can see some of those beef ones Angela talked about the U.R. parent there's crop watch I believe Dennis mentioned that one Backyard Farmer, Market Journal the 4-day throw away and you can get if you want to know what apps we're working on or have just completed this is the place to go for them Angela mentioned publications this is one of the things we've been known for for years we have great publications this is the website that you would go to define that out it's IA in our pubs at unl.edu extension is part of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University and so that's what IA in R stands for and so that's where the publications are located you can just google University of Nebraska extension pubs and this comes up at the top of that google search if we want to go down we can search by a variety of different things how I like to do it is in the publications and as you can see there's a whole range of publications listed here in our office right now people are interested in things outside like insects and pests lawns and gardens and some other things like seed wildlife management at my house we just got to go for the other day so they are out and they are moving so as you can see you and I have a lot of resources available for you and we stopped here at the slideshow and we'll go on this is who we are just so you know who talked today my advice for you if you are interested in working with us beyond just looking at our website which we would love to do that with you is to find out who your local extension person is and your local county office and their focus like mine is food safety may not be the one you're interested in but they may be able to share a resource with you or let you know of a person close to the area who could help you with that particular area so we partner just as you partner with others in the community and we would love to partner with you now we'd like to give you a few ideas of some ways that we've partnered with our local library and I see that they're online now so Dave if you want to type in a few more as we talk through we would love to have you do that Dennis before since he doesn't get to talk has partnered a lot with some technology things with computer training with his library in the past some of the areas that we've worked with our local library include parenting classes that I know Angelo worked with our library on well, robotics that's an area that I know Angelo has done some things in quite a few of us have worked with our local library as we did a local gardener and helping the people who are working with that garden learn about gardening we had another educator who works out of our office, Keith Jarvie he's an entomologist talked about insects with the garden Angelo worked with youth and the gardening we had another staff member Brenda who talked about eating out of the garden and how to cook healthy I know I talked about food preservation and the things that you grow in your garden Angelo also worked with summer reading program with the library she works with youth and she's done the national science experiment which Angelo has done nearly every year they have a new science experiment usually in the month of October and so this last year it was on robotics a little bit where the children made a simple robot out of a toothbrush and they learned how to clean up a landfill and how important it is to be very conscious of our environment and not to have landfill landfill but stills happen on our beaches and everything so it kind of showed them the importance of keeping how important it is to clean it up and such we've done power of wind which was a wind technology piece and we've also done one where we tested a little bit of starches and how kind of like the biofuels as well as the ethanol and the biodiesels and so the kids were able to kind of explore what type of research is going on the scientists would do in order to come up with that research they never made any gasoline or diesel it just showed them the process of how much the bullens would blow up with the different gases from those different products and then I know you've done some school out day doing some experiences with youth when the kids were out of school for the day we offered a program of the library which basically kind of themed but then also following some educational resources for the kids I know one of the favorites was when it was October and we did kind of a Halloween party but then also threw in the importance of calcium and teeth and bones and then they learned some of the different bones did some fun little games did a science experiment where we did the blue bubbles where the kids went about bubbles but they were able to see the dry ice gas inside the bubble and so we kind of gave them a chance to talk about science some educational stuff but then also tie into some of more fun themed parties and I know one option for libraries if they have a place a meeting place might be to host a traditional 4-H club as they hold their meetings we want the library I know in our community to be a community resource just as you want your library to be and we have a lot of children going through our library locally and so it's a great place for a traditional 4-H club to be at now we've also our library has an opportunity to put displays up and we put a number of displays up promoting different things that we've done or things with libraries or just topics that are of interest to people that we have some expertise on either advertising an event or giving some knowledge for the public to see as they go past that display so we like you and help better our communities and we hope we've given you a slice or a little piece of how extension can work with you and kinds of things that we are focusing on and working to better our communities with if you do have any questions please please type in the chat box or on the handout it does give both or all three of our email addresses that you can contact us on or if you would like to call us on that handout also as a way to get on the web and find out the phone numbers of our local extension office here or your local extension office where you work actually any parting thoughts? Carol this is Christa yeah Dave from South Sioux City Public Library is on the line and I'm going to unmute him now he's got some share some of the things that he has had extension come into their library for I'm going to unmute now Dave so you can go ahead you're unmuted Dave can you hear me? Yes we can can you hear me? yeah extension has been okay extension has been a godsend for us here I mean we utilize them a lot we utilize the website we get a lot of our information for all our specialized programs that we do I don't know what we wouldn't do without having the extension around our area so if you have access to it I highly recommend incorporating them into your program I see you mentioned first when you typed in some things about they did robotics canning classes and you actually did host 4-H Club I guess it said? there are so many different things that we've done I mean you can't even keep them in track in your head when we first started our community gardens here in Pound we were working predominantly with Hispanic population and trying to teach them actually how to garden here in the Midwest how to do that well then the next step was what do you do with all that stuff we actually had cooperation between Dakota County extension and Woodbury County extension they came in and did a canning workshop and I believe everybody that was at that workshop was Spanish and so taught them actually how to be able to preserve stuff just something like that every garden class or seed savers group we utilize the extension materials I can't tell you how many times I've seen some of the websites looked up information passed out when we have questions come in and ask us that kind of if we can't find the answer we direct them down there Keith is coming in this next month and doing a program for the community garden group on good bugs, bad bugs in your garden Angela in fact I think we have a second desk for her somewhere in the library she's here so much I just can't emphasize what you can do with your extension I mean it's just incredible yeah great it does sound like there are really appreciate Dave also yeah it does seem like there's just anything and everything you could possibly get brought into your library thanks Dave we do have one question actual question from the audience let's do it here Karen Mayer from Platsmouth Public Library was wondering and I don't know if it was mentioned earlier I may have said is there any sort of a charge for this for the libraries to bring you guys in for mileage or anything to have a program brought into the library you would need to talk to the specific person that you are bringing in sometimes that would depend on the program that you're doing some programs are easy to do there's no cost involved in them some of the other programs Angela was doing some things with youth and she needed supplies and maybe that would be a cost it may also depend on how far away if you're bringing a person in how far away they have to drive if they would charge you mileage or not so it would be specific to whatever you're doing so I would definitely contact your local extension office and tell them you saw this webinar and maybe one of the areas that you might be interested in specifically okay great thanks and a lot of the online webinars that are on the UNL website they might even be a great spot to host at your local library so that there are some of them have some classes associated I know some of the Master Carbner classes have a little bit of money but I think as to hooking up I think you'd be able to access it fairly easy another opportunity too is just to write for those online webinars yeah that's a good idea bring in people from the community all together to watch something that's being broadcast okay anybody have any other questions or comments thoughts anything you want to ask of Carol or Angela or Dave since he is here with us nothing came in while we were chatting at the moment there was a lot of information on your sites and everything and as I said most of the web pages sites you were mentioning I got into our delicious account as you were talking about Carol and Angela so hopefully if not obviously just exploring the extension website is a good way to find all those things as well I do have the PDF already uploaded to the commission slideshare account so that will be available after the show looks like nobody's got any last minute questions coming in but you guys as you know you can contact Carol Angela and Dennis whether contact information is here or calling on the extension website anything else you guys want to share last minute before we wrap up for this morning last minute comments we're excited to be able to share what we do with you and we hope that we'll be able to work with many of you in the future I hope so too I hope a lot more people watch the recording of our show here and get to use some of your resources oh we do have a comment from Laura Hess who's our librarian from Stanton Public Library she loves the extension office has been a 4-H leader herself and belonged to an extension club and a master gardener awesome my mom back in New York is involved in the master gardener program there as well to our cooperative extension offices in New York so I do know a lot about that part of the program thank you very much well since it doesn't look like there's any urgent last minute questions coming in I think we can wrap up the presentation of this morning thank you very much Carol and Angela and Dennis too the show has been recorded and we will post it up as soon as we can as soon as we get off the line here it will be processed I'm going to pull back control here to my screen ok thank you very much everyone for attending and this was today's show on University of Nebraska in your neighborhood in the UNL extension
