heater all right guys let's get into our game of fantasy fortune before I'd explain the rules do me a favor hit that like button on this video fandoms always got some great content coming out let me tell you absolutely all right the rules of fantasy fortune are simple it's kind of like the tv the popular tv game show wheel fortune but we themed it for fantasy football themed it for the nfl and instead of spending a wheel contestants will be answering fantasy football trivia questions in order to guess a letter if you get your question right you're gonna get to guess a consonant for the puzzle but if you get your question or or you guess the letter wrong then your turn's over get answered to three questions correctly before we move on to the next contestant and if you get all three correct you're gonna get to bank that money during your turn there are two other actions you can take before the next question you may either buy a vow each house gonna cost you 100 bucks and you must have a minimum of 500 in order to bank uh i'm sorry in order to buy a vow or you may solve the puzzle so if you solve the puzzle you're gonna get to bank all the money in your round bank and you're gonna skunk the rest of these guys they have money in their round bank it's gonna go to zero round bank round bank round ball play like this until we run out of puzzles or run out of time and the contestant with the most money at the end of this game is going to be the champion we'll see you boys ready let's do it let's go i am ready for this competition between friends and this is what he's saying wrong wrong wrong wrong bank all right this first puzzle it's gonna work completely differently than how i just explained so ignore everything i just said this one is going to be a toss a toss-up puzzle i'm going to slowly reveal letters on this puzzle and contestants you have to say your name when you think you know the answer you're only gonna get one shot at this so if you get it wrong that's it for this puzzle uh if you get it right you're gonna get to go first next turn and you're gonna get to bank $500 to start the game off can i say wrong bunk you say whatever you want all right here's the first puzzle first puzzle this is an nfl player the category is nfl player i'm gonna slow your real letters say your own name when you think you got it i'm gonna go based off who are here first here we go come on joey joey joey joey quest walkins quest walkins is absolutely correct not thinking quest walkins well done human he said super bowl so i was going through all of the wide receivers when i got all the way to the bottom of the eagles depth chart i found him there very last one were you close to that Nate no no i was not me i'm like who is there other than sammy walkins that's what i saw four letters i was like okay josh like okay and then i saw q or you and e i'm like that's not how you spell josh props to jl for a puzzle with a q and a z right well done this is scrabble i'd be winning boys no let's not yeah so i'm losing all right joey that's gonna get you five hundred dollars in your round bank you guys think quest walkins could do do a little ditty in this uh super bowl game you think it'll be it'll be relevant what do you think Nate no he might have a patch i would he has two targets one catch ten yards is there a line for that in vegas so i'll take it maybe somewhere joey jay and joey what do you guys think i think the super bowl go ahead joey as i believe i saw the fandal line earlier in the week was like 25 and a half yards and i put a little bit of money on the under on that so i'm not expecting to go over 25 yards i'm not putting any money on it but it's the super pole they pull out all the tricks wouldn't be surprised to see so you mean you saw the filly special the first time nobody had nick foals catching a touchdown so who knows anything that's very true i'm not willing to put money on it either way what are the chances they try and run the filly special twice no way it'd be the last thing they expect i'm saying think about it and now what i want to happen so bad even though i want the eagles to lose what if the game it comes down to that alas like fourth down on the goal same situation and what do the cheese do what do the cheese do the cheese like that would be such a just an absolute mind effort i can see serrani doing something like that so he seems like the type of guy that would yeah it wasn't even serrani it wasn't even him the cheese oh so i'm saying yeah the chiefs do it i mean they did ring around the rosy so yeah why not cheese go up by 21 and they run the filly special just to rub it in and grim had a question for us this process what you said as i said it the groom said i had a boost send to me saying sanders and pacheco are plus 150 for getting 10 plus yards each in the first quarter would you take it or no yeah i take that yeah i yeah i think i would take that mm-hmm you know your only real concern is if they try to get ceh involved early jerry mckinnon isn't going to get involved in the early downs you know if filly controls the ball and pacheco isn't really that involved maybe but for plus 150 that is well worth it well you just convinced me jay because you said if ceh gets involved we all know that's not going to happen so there you go although this would be like the game that he does get involved i know i can see it right what was it for them where they used to play for a couple years ago like had like a ridiculous super bowl so where did they're running back for them a couple years ago uh oh no no no it was uh oh no it was uh wasn't it damien williams yeah i could see like i could see his initials but i couldn't put the whole name together i got the w right so that should yeah i did he said he counts for very little jay he only said where so who's on first type of situation there right all right guys let's get into our next puzzle here joey you got that one correct meaning you are going to go first in this next puzzle here our second puzzle this one is rhyme time category is rhyme time an example of this might be uh i couldn't think of a single one off the top of my head uh watching and been watching benjamin button with courtland sudden making sounds with a jay browns i mean it's gonna be like that it's gonna be like sounds like something jay would say but yeah i'm with it shoveling snow with joe burrow oh i like it scamper said kansas city shuffle that doesn't rhyme come on scams you're better come on scammers all right so this is rhyme time joey you are going first would you like a question yes i don't have it i don't have any money to buy vows with all right we're gonna start i made that mistake once before yeah it happens we're gonna start this this game off the question's off very simply simple category here let me ask you 50 50 trivia questions this first time or this first category i'm gonna ask you these fantasy points all my fantasy points questions are going to be ppr formats just keep that in mind throughout the game joey tell me okay 2022 who had more pbr fantasy points was it fonte smith was it stephan diggs stephan diggs stephan diggs is correct well done what what consonant would you like i wish it was debaunt smith um i would like an n please n as in nancy as in nancy jim nancy there's one n only one yeah we give you a 500 in your round bank joey you can buy a bow here you do have enough or you can take another question or i'm gonna take a question i want joey take another question take another question all right joey tell me which player had a higher fantasy points per game this season which player had a higher fantasy points per game this season was it jalen waddle or was it a j brown that's tough man um at least i will go a j brown a j brown is absolutely correct it is consonant would you like well done a g g there's one g oh i'm sorry there's two g's that two g's messed my brain up that's gonna give you another thousand in your round bank here joey i'd like to buy i mean i would like to another question please i don't want to give them anything all right we're going into your third question here so if you get this right and you guess the letter correctly you're gonna get to bank your mula all right joe okay that's me pull out the joe tell me would more ppr ball this and that who had more fantasy points in 2022 was it erin rogers or was it uh i'm sorry was it erin rogers or was it russell wilson erin rogers erin rogers is correct but not by very much really um erin rogers had 239 fantasy points russell wilson had 225 that's ghost of what i thought i thought yeah that's kind of surprising uh but you got that right joey you weren't fooled so what letter was i'm t please as

higher fantasy point uh which which player had higher fantasy points this season was it terry mclauren or was it jerry judy oh judy had some sneakers but so did terry mclauren i feel like mclauren was

you 1500 in your round bank here nate which means you can buy vows here if you would like uh i'm let's let's go with another question another question you've got it i wish player had a higher uh total number of fantasy points this season nate was it marquise brown or was it uh adam felon i mean brown was inactive for so many games i'm gonna say adam felon adam felon is correct it actually wasn't

three s's nate giving you another 15 hundo now this is your we're going into your third question nate so this is your last opportunity to buy vows this turn before it comes back around to you if you

which player had more receiving yards this season which player had more receiving yards this season chris alave or mike williams a lot i played well but uh mike williams missed a fair amount of time i'm still gonna go with mike williams here and regret it probably but we're gonna go mike williams nate mike williams is incorrect oh it was chris alave brutal so joey we're back to you joey knows that i can tell him i don't i don't do you know it jay i know part of it i know part of it too i don't okay i'm gonna take a question all right taking a question joey which player played more games this season hortland sudden or keenan allen keenan allen keenan allen is incorrect sorry that was dirty jay that was a genuine mistake a dirty genuine mistake uh all right jay we're back to you all right all right which player played more games this season jay was it was it dj more or was it david and joku dj more dj more is correct what letter would you like i finally got one right um go with a c c and i'm just gonna let you know the chat thinks they got it i wouldn't be so sure two three uh that's gonna be three c's j it's gonna be a 1500 in your round bank okay i know it i'm really frustrated i shouldn't have taken that last question hey i'm gonna buy an i buying an i there's four i's it's gonna cost you 400 here oh no i gave joey your money two three and then one two three oh all right jay i just don't know that second word um let's buy an a buying an a the nail two a's what choice should i have uh let's let's buy an oh i don't know there are three ohs okay i guess i got it now i got it i think all right solve it exactly how it's written spotting geckos with isai apacheco spotting geckos with isai apacheco well done jay i'll take it you nailed it you nailed it unfortunately you used a lot of your money but you're gonna bank a thousand here and you're gonna keep that three k from nate which is brutal that is brutal what you get for wearing the red sock shirt so it's what i get for being greedy jay not wearing the red sock shirt and the grand fan coming in the last spotting geckos with isai apacheco and scamper's got it a couple minutes earlier the chat was circling around swatting geckos with that's what i couldn't decide if it was a swatting or spotting any all swat swatting geckos out there when they get into your bag of m&ms and then they jump out of you when you're going to get m&ms you definitely swatted a gecko yeah exactly get out of there i thought i accidentally fell into knitting and so i thought i was knitting gloves with and then i was like what chiefs or eagles players like rhymes with gloves and so that's why i was sitting here trying and i was way off that's so funny and we got a lidarius in the chat said a bunch of pretty amazing humans our buddies here what up lidarius good to see you my friend right there indeed to see you how do you guys feel about isai apacheco this weekend love them you think he'll uh even fly back you're not worried i do i think i think this is pacheco's backfield i think he did enough to prove it this year um i think mccanon either goes on to find a new position next year or is pacheco's backfield to run with i really like him going forth yeah i'm with joey on this pacheco's done everything he needed to do to earn the trust of the team and the quarterback ceh consistently disappoints pacheco's been steady enough and like they've got mccanon to catch passes they don't need ch to be a significant part of this offense yeah imagine if they would draft jonathan taylor instead of ceh well yeah whoosh i think this game will be interesting with the running back situation i think well i'm interested because i think regardless of which way it goes we're gonna read way too much into it probably no matter what just like eight davis last year in the playoffs it happens every five touchdowns for ceh and then he's gonna go in the first round again brad said you don't live in australia jail that's how you swat geckos you're right you're right all right uh let's get into our next puzzle here that took a little long guys yeah a lot of long wow yeah jay's fault mostly that's fun mostly jay's fault this next one nfl player monument mashup nfl player monument mashup so any of these mashups basically taking some name or phrase or term and smashing a player name in there so a good example is dude where's my dairy car or uh shoot why is this happening to me today dude where's my dairy car that's another good one yeah that is a really good one those are two great examples also do

A lot of times people ask me, Christian, should I get a job or start a business? And I have the same answer every single time. It doesn't matter who it is and what they say after that. And the answer is, get a job. Because starting a business is for those of us who can't do anything else, but. If every cell in your body is not screaming, I do not want this job and I have to do my own thing, then you're probably not cut out for entrepreneurship. Because you will not get more certainty as a business owner. You will not get more security. But what you will get is to deal with that urge that says, I can do nothing but start my own business. So if you're still asking, should I get a job or start a business? You might not be ready yet. Doesn't mean you won't be someday. Doesn't mean you won't be next month or next year. But chances are, if you're still questioning it, you're still holding onto that need for security.  I'm gonna make my vision, my dream work, or I'm gonna fail in the process and be totally okay because I know I'd rather fail at the thing I wanna do than go back and work for somebody else. And again, we can all change our minds, things will change down the line, but if today you're still asking the question, you might not be ready. Don't forget, subscribe to the channel, hit notifications. See ya on the next one.


Christopher asks, why were 21 million bitcoin identified as the maximum supply number? Can this amount be changed since the code is open source? Or are they somehow inherently embedded into the code in a way that it cannot be modified? This is really a great question, and it's one of the things that started my journey into the source code of bitcoin back in 2012. I had heard, like most people who are new to this space, that there can never be 21 million bitcoin. I was wondering if I would be able to open the code and find somewhere this number, 21 million, and then, based on this number, that I would be able to find somewhere in the code, like an if statement that said, if the next block is greater than 21 million, or if the sum of all of the rewards greater than 21 million bitcoin stops issuing bitcoin, or something like that. But that's not how it works. Interestingly enough, the 21 million bitcoin, although it exists as a constant in the code, is not checked on a per block basis, as you would expect. It's an emergent number that emerges from the way that the reward or block subsidy is issued. So, how did we arrive at 21 million bitcoin? Some people think it's actually a mistake, that it was by accident, and the desired number was 42 million bitcoin. Not that it really makes any difference, because the number of bitcoin that's going to be issued is an arbitrary number. It doesn't really matter. As a unit of measurement, it doesn't matter. In the code, what you will see is the block subsidy being checked with every block, by every participant in the network. What the rule is, is to look at how many blocks have lapsed since the Genesis block, divide that by 210,000 blocks, and therefore calculate what the current block subsidy should be, based on the number of halvings that have happened. So, we start with 50 bitcoin per block as subsidy, and then after the first 210,000 blocks, there is halving, which is when block subsidy is divided by two. And then you have 25 bitcoin issued per block as the block subsidy, and then 210,000 blocks later, or approximately four years later. There's another block halving, and it goes down to 12.5 bitcoin, which is where we are today. In 2020, in the summertime or springtime, there is going to be another block halving, which will be the third block halving, sorry, the fourth block halving. And we're going to go down to six and a quarter bitcoin per block. Now, it's embedded in the code in that it is checked for each block, in that every node checks that the reward or block subsidy that exists in a block cannot exceed the expected current block subsidy based on how many blocks have lapsed. So, right now, every participant in the network checks every block and expects to see 12.5 bitcoin and block subsidy plus fees as the maximum number that's in the coin base of a block. And if it is greater than that, the block is invalid and is rejected. So, you can't create more bitcoin because everybody who receives a block will check that you haven't exceeded the block subsidy amount plus the amount of transaction fees. These consensus rules being enforced by everyone who's participating, not just miners, is what keeps everyone honest and prevents the miners from inflating the bitcoin supply. So, you could change it in the code and if you change it in the code, then your node that's running that code would evaluate things differently. And as a result, your node would accept perhaps a block that had greater than 12.5 bitcoin subsidy today. And that block would not be accepted by anyone else at which point your node and only your node would go out of consensus with the rest of the network and effectively be kicked off the network because as soon as it tried to propagate this invalid block, it would get kicked off the network or banned. This happens, it's a mechanism to check. So, you can change the code in your node and that will result in your node getting kicked off the network because it's not following the same rules. Theoretically, the developers could change the code for the bitcoin core software or perhaps many of the other clients that run on the bitcoin network and then whoever was running that new code would effectively get forked off the network. So, if you imagine some miners downloading that code and some miners refusing to download that code that changed the block subsidy, it would result in a fork and a new bitcoin network would be created that would not have a 21 million supply and I guess most bitcoiners would refuse to upgrade the code to make that change because it would violate the monetary principles of bitcoin. As a result, you'd have another fork of bitcoin. Let's call this bitcoin inflation and bitcoin inflation would have a supply greater than 21 million and would it be bitcoin? According to most bitcoiners, no, but you get to choose the rules you run on your node. Developers can write code, but nobody has to adopt it. So, the way the consensus rules work is this balance of power where every node that runs on the network, whether it's mining or not, validates all of the rules and it validates all of the rules by running the software and depending on what software you're running, you are either following the same rules as everybody else or not and if you're not following the same rules, you're running your own version of bitcoin and you will effectively fork the network. If you fork it alone, you're just basically going to get banned. If you fork it with a sizable number of miners so that the forked chain can continue, you create yet another bitcoin fork. There's 45 of those already. Most of them are relevant and have almost no value and as a result, it doesn't matter if people do this. Ian asks, Bitcoin caveats regarding total supply. You've all heard the phrase, there will only be 21 million bitcoin. In fact, the correct phrase is, there will always be less than 21 million bitcoin because we never mint 21 million. In fact, the amount minted is 20,999,999 bitcoin, 997 and change. In fact, 21 never gets reached even if all of the bitcoin amined and none of them are lost. As Ian asks, considering all bitcoins lost, destroyed, or burned, can we extrapolate that the amount of bitcoin in circulation will never actually even approach 21 million? Ding ding, absolutely right. You got it. In fact, we can estimate that already at least a million bitcoin have either been irrevocably lost through loss of private keys, burned to public burn addresses. What a burn address is, is an address that is obviously generated without private key in such a way that you know that it is impossible to find the corresponding private key and no one has it. We can talk about that in the subsequent section, how burn address is created. The bottom line is, it's an address that is known to be without a private key. Therefore, when you send money to that address, it's unspendable. Several other mistakes have caused unspendable bitcoin. There's also a little quirk of the protocol, which is that a miner doesn't have to take the full reward, meaning right now, the block subsidy is 12.5 bitcoin. They don't have to take the whole 12.5. The rules actually check to see that coinbase is less than or equal 12.5 bitcoin plus fees. It doesn't check how much less. You take six bitcoin and not take the other six. You could just put a block subsidy of six bitcoin in your block subsidy, in your coinbase transaction today as a miner. What would happen then? Well, you'd mine six bitcoin instead of 12.5. The other six and a half can never be mined again. You lost your chance. That was the block. It's gone. People will see that as a valid block. They will mine it. They will accept it in the blockchain. That six and a half bitcoin will never be mined. Effectively, now you've gone from 20,999,999 bitcoin to 20,999,993 bitcoin because you just threw away six bitcoin as the maximum supply has now been reduced. Because of some mistakes that have happened in coinbase transactions that went to unspendable public keys and weren't quite the correct amount, etc., we're less than the subsidy. We already know that this has happened. It's going to be less than 21 million and perhaps even significantly less. Theoretically, by the time we get to 2140, maybe half of all bitcoin has been lost. At that point, you've only got 10 million in circulation. Does it matter? No. It makes no difference. The number itself, 21 million versus 10 million, means nothing. The purpose here is to ensure that from a monetary perspective, in terms of pure economics, the amount of currency is ultimately capped, creating a hard asset, a form of sound money that cannot be issued no matter what the price on offer is. You cannot increase the issuance. In the physical world, no such thing exists. Even gold, which is extremely scarce, if you increase the price of gold enough, it becomes profitable to mine gold in ever further and more expensive places, including asteroids. So the amount of gold in the universe is absolutely not capped, but the amount of bitcoin is. And it's the only asset that is completely capped. And as a result, it has this unique digital scarcity that is qualitatively different from any other form of scarcity. But whether it's 21 or 10 or 5 million bitcoin doesn't matter. You may think, of course, that, well, if there's only 10 million bitcoin left at the end of all of this, after all of the issuance is done, how is that enough to run a larger bitcoin economy? Well, the trick is that, in fact, what can happen in bitcoin is a further subdivision of the smallest unit. So we could start it dealing in units smaller than a satoshi, a thousandth of a satoshi, even a millionth of a satoshi. You just add more decimal places. You might think that's inflation. It actually isn't. If you think about it, if you subdivide units and add more granularity, it still doesn't change the total amount that is available. It just means you can divide it more. So, for example, if I say I'm 170 centimeters in height, if instead I say I'm 1,700 millimeters in height, that's not changing my height. I'm still the same height. I'm just measuring it in finer granularity. And so adding decimal points to bitcoin doesn't change the total supply. That's a great question, and it's one that comes up fairly often. But I like that twist in this particular case from Ian.


Diversity programs and leadership initiatives appreciating the past and looking to the future remarks by Mark Puente at the 160th ARL membership meeting convened by Nancy Baker. This afternoon Mark Puente who you all know ARL's Director of Diversity and Leadership will share some information with you a review that we've done on the ARL diversity programs, the accomplishments and future goals. For those of you particularly who are new I might point out that ARL's diversity program has been an integral part of ARL's agenda since 1990 and but the more formalized programs that most of you are familiar with were established in 1997 that was with the inaugural opening of the leadership and career development program and although there are many organizations that do diversity none have an emphasis on the strategic needs of academic and research libraries as the ARL diversity programs have done. I think you're going to hear from Mark that the impact of the programs has been wide and far-reaching and just as large complex research libraries tackle all the issues that we've been talking about at this meeting so ARL's efforts to serve as an exemplary program for the diversity recruitment and leadership development and research in academic libraries I think if not for the profession in general and that's one of our of course overriding goals. This afternoon's program is really very timely as the leadership and excuse me diversity and leadership committee is going to be looking to the future and come to you with an important goal for continued success which I'll talk about a little bit later after Mark's gone through the information that we want to share with you. So here's Mark. Thank you Nancy if I forget to forward any slides please someone shoot off a flare or something. So thanks for not going to Michigan Avenue and buying shoes I kind of wish I were there doing exactly that. I had hoped to kind of begin today's presentation with some interesting provocative story something with an interesting maybe you know some intrigue in there but of course with that unexpected funny punchline in other words something right out of Jim Neal's playbook from that school of oratory and declamation or maybe it's the Jimmy Neal school of oratory and declamation I'm not certain but anyway it's a real place. But lastly my creative juices just weren't working today but I would however like to begin my presentation just with a small personal story a little bit about me. I hope many if not all of you know by now that prior to my life as an academic librarian as a music librarian I lived in San Antonio, Texas. I was raised there I lived most of my childhood and much of my adult life there. San Antonio is a tremendously colorful city in every respect it's extremely diverse very rich food high content high fat content food but it's also highly integrated with respect to the racial and ethnic communities that live and thrive there. It was first reported in 1990 that the Latino and Hispanic population of San Antonio for the first time surpassed the percentage of those in the population who identified as white or Caucasian whatever classification you prefer. But you know just much earlier than that during my childhood it was really quite clear then that the majority population was was really reaching out and integrating and in fact adopting a lot of the traditions of the Latino community. It was not unusual for example for me to attend a birthday party for one of my friends who was not Latino or Hispanic and low and behold they would have piñatas.  So all of that just to give a little bit of to frame things a little bit and I'd like to begin with just a brief look at where we stand and what I mean by we of course is the United States with respect to racial and ethnic representation here. Since the goal for for these programs in on one level has been to accurately mirror the communities that we serve. This is a very lofty goal. I'm not certain that we're ever going to get there as a profession but it's certainly worth pursuing. I'm certain many of you aware of these demographic statistics that are represented here and probably where we're headed again as a nation in the U.S. but I don't know I would venture to say that perhaps our neighbors to the north are probably headed to a similar makeup. Of course I'm also certain that many of you might be aware of the fact that those who identify as Hispanic or Latino and I'm not just saying that because I'm one of those but that we are by far the fastest growing minority group in the U.S. But it's also interesting to note that the one other quickly growing the burgeoning population is in fact can can well I'll just tell you it's those who identify as mixed racial or multi racial. It's a very quickly growing demographic so I think it's going to have some interesting implications just all around but we're quite aware of that. If you were wondering with where we are with respect to racial and ethnic representation in institutions of higher learning those statistics that pie chart looks remarkably similar to that of the general population right now or at least it did in 2009. Of course here the one difference in here and I don't mean to dwell on you know the Latino population but the Hispanic population here is about half of what it is in the general population due in large part to the fact that it is a much younger demographic and again the implications for institutions of higher learning in 8 to 10 years I think are immense. So in case you're not aware of where we are as a community and again these are reports from U.S. ARLs this is what we look like. We stand at about 14.2 representation as of the 2010-2011 salary survey. That percent the 14.2 is actually better a higher percentage than ALA than the Society of American Archivists then the Medical Library Association or ACRL with the one admission here that of course the methodologies for reporting those data are a bit different for those institutions associations they self-report and we tend to gather that those data. I might also point out that it we have been more effective as of late of recruiting those of Asian descent into our programs and into professional jobs in our organizations. This is something that I am actively addressing with respect to outreach efforts to African Americans to the Hispanic and Latino community and of course those from native are indigenous communities. So just a little bit of history about all of this and all of our programs are diversity programs specifically and Nancy mentioned a few things about this. This these efforts came out of again that need to mirror the the communities that we are serving. It is connected to our strategic plan specifically more related to the transforming research library roles agenda and portfolio where it calls for ARO to develop a diverse and growing body of professionals prepared and developed to take on new roles and work in new modes. So ARO claims to articulate promote facilitate and the expanding roles for ARO libraries that support enable and enrich transformations that are affecting research and research intensive education. So embedded in ARO's guiding principles are the goals of encouraging and supporting members as they strive as I've said to reflect society's diversity in their staffing and their collections in their leadership and in their programs. Increasing representation of racial and ethnic minorities and member libraries has been a goal of these programs as Nancy said since their inception in the early 1990s and efforts became more formalized with grant funding that was secured a bit later when the work of diversity centered around collections and workplace climate at that time was woven into the operations of OMLS although I think back then it was called OMS I think. The landscape of ARL libraries was not terribly different than it is today but it was at about 10.6% representation of those targeted groups in member libraries. So a little bit more history in 1999 a formal pitch was made to the board by my predecessor a couple of folks ago Deetta Jones and by the then chair of the ARL diversity committee who lo and behold was Nancy Baker to establish a member funded diversity recruitment program. So the program the proposal was accepted and over the course of the next three years or so 52 ARL member libraries stepped up and donated $10,000 each to establish a fund. So raised a bit over $500,000 in support of this diversity minority recruitment program that I'm guessing did not have a name immediately or perhaps soon thereafter. The first of three IMLS grants were awarded in 2003 and I'll say a little bit more about that in just a little bit. So just this little historic view here. So it was the leadership and career development program that began in 1997. The initiative to recruit a diverse workforce was established with that fund in 2000. The research library leadership fellows program about which I'm really not going to say a great deal today. But that first cohort was established in 2004. We received another IMLS grant in 2008 in support of another minority recruitment program the career enhancement program and our last success was just last year when we were awarded an IMLS grant in support of the ARL and the music library association diversity and inclusion initiative. I'll try to deconstruct what is I guess kind of a sort of alphabet soup of acronyms here for all of you as we go along. I know even some of my committee members get a little bit confused with all of the with everything but we'll try to explain that a little bit further as I go along. And just you know for some general information also under the diversity and leadership portfolio we have the ARL career resources website. We have a job announcements database a residency database a student residency excuse me a student resume database which some of your HR people avail themselves to on occasion when they're in recruitment processes for particular positions. The leadership symposium formally called an institute which was normally just attached to ALA midwinter but it's a three-day leadership symposium and most of our diversity programs participants take advantage of that but that symposium is actually open to all MLIS students. The national diversity and libraries conference the last event that we had was in 2010 and that was hosted by Princeton University and Karen trainer. We cancelled that event this year because of the joint conference of librarians of color conference that's actually being held in Kansas City in September. And then also our diversity publications which to date really only includes an online newsletter that we have but we are working and we have a VPO in place who is helping us to develop those areas further. So to dive into this a little bit more and with respect to what we've been able to do with that initial investment and many subsequent investments by IMLS this is what we've been able to do for the initiative to recruit a diverse workforce. We have been awarded over the course of years 1.4 million dollars in three IMLS grants awarded in 2003 2006 and 2010. We've supported or are currently supporting about 156 students to date and a little over a third of them are from STEM academic backgrounds. The 2006 grant was focused on recruitment of students with academic backgrounds in natural or applied sciences and also information technology or computer science but at that time we were having a bit of difficulty recruiting students with that academic profile into the program. So a decision was made by the then diversity working group boy you've called this just about everything haven't you Nancy? Yeah so the diversity working group made a decision to tap into the those funds the five hundred and twenty thousand dollar fund just to fund other students with academic backgrounds in the humanities the social sciences fine arts etc and I'll show a graph a little bit later to show you where those expenditures went. I think an important piece of well it's more than just anecdotal information but if I can quote Marianne Gaunt who has served on the selection committee for the initiative for for quite a few iterations is that the applicants for this program are getting increasingly more sophisticated as time goes by. Last year for example we had two PhDs in the program one a PhD in material science from MIT another a PhD in optics from Rochester. Both of those folks are currently working in ARL libraries in spite of their rather shabby academic credentials. This year we have two JDs in the program both of them with undergraduate degrees in natural sciences just as an example and I do have to take just a little bit of a diversion here to say that I think one of the things that makes the initiative to recruit a diverse workforce a truly unique experience is the annual visit to the Purdue University libraries that is completely underwritten completely funded by Jim Mullins and the good folks at Purdue and we'll speak a little bit later to some of the the the outcomes for for that and it's it's truly a remarkable experience. So where are they now? Past diversity scholars this graph represents where they stand now where we stand now with respect to the former participants currently working in various libraries. This is only an estimate I have to tell you these figures are based primarily on a survey that was conducted in 2009 of all former diversity scholars. That was conducted by Alana Aiko Moore and myself Alana is at UC San Diego. We had about a 72 percent response rate in that the total population of about 126 then and also it includes some data about what I know now what we know now with respect to placements since since I came on board in 2009. I know you're all going to be very shocked to hear this but our survey instrument our questionnaire was just a little bit flawed so you'll see there that there's that eight percent that identified as working in special law health sciences and corporate libraries and it's highly likely that the eight percent represented there are also many of them connected to ARL institutions. Again based on self-reporting and easily verifiable information about recent placements of initiative scholars and of course our CEP fellows and I'll talk about that program in a little bit. It is I'm pretty certain that we have reached the halfway point in terms of the number of ARL institutions who have been able to recruit these good folks into their programs into professional positions and that by the way does include a handful of Canadian institutions. Another way to look at this I think is helpful is that the overall increase of minority hires in ARL libraries in the last 13 years amongst them there have been 314 minority hires since then since that salary survey and over a fifth of them I think actually closer to a quarter of them by now have gone through our programs and again I think these estimates are somewhat conservative. So you know the 34.2 percent who are working in other academic institutions certainly we aim to do a better job about recruiting more of them into our organizations ARL organizations but I think that 34.2 percent is still quite positive it helps build the case with respect to IMLS continued IMLS funding. They are quite keen as you heard from Susan just a little while ago at funding projects that have a broad impact reaching multiple constituencies, diverse audiences and on a national scale and I really think that just bolsters our argument about the impact of the program on the academic library community at large. So we embarked upon a different a slightly different approach in 2008 with the career enhancement program which is essentially a minority fellowship program also again funded by a very generous IMLS grant when the threshold back then was still a million dollars but and also funded by by contributions from eight partner ARL libraries. What happens for the career in the career enhancement program is that the partners host these MLIS students for paid summer internships at those institutions for periods of about six to twelve weeks. In most instances the CEP fellows relocate to the geographic area of the host partner institution and they engage in project work that's been defined based on many conversations between them and the program coordinators at the respective partner libraries. The partner libraries also create other programs for the fellows in order to provide them with an inside look at the operations of those organizations. Frequently they're invited to attend committee meetings and participate in other programs that are designed specifically for them. The grant was written to support the participation of 45 students in the CEP and I'm very delighted to report that upon the conclusion of the grant in June of this year we will have provided the experience to 61 students total and that's largely because I'm really cheap. But here too we have seen success with respect to placement actually a great deal of success with respect to placement in ARL libraries keeping in mind here that about 29 percent of the CEP fellows are still currently enrolled in MLIS programs we've been able to place about a quarter of them 44 excuse me 24.5 percent into positions in ARL libraries. So this program the CEP really represents a slightly different approach to minority recruitment for ARL. It's the aggregate experience of the program in this iteration including support to attend the ARL leadership symposium, a formal mentor program, tuition support, a paid internship of course in one of the eight ARL partner libraries on this project. So many of the components of the initiative to recruit a diverse workforce but with the added benefit of that paid internship. So that's two of the three diversity recruitment programs I'm sorry I didn't realize I was going through puberty I'll try not to squeak. I was telling Heather earlier it wouldn't be this would be much easier if I could sing it honestly that's true. So the leadership and career development program the goal of this program is to prepare and develop mid-career librarians from traditionally underrepresented groups to take on to take on leadership roles in academic and research libraries. This program was created out of an expressed concern from ARL ARL director some years ago about the low numbers of minorities and leadership positions in our institutions. Since its inception in 1997 111 libraries have been supported through this fellowship and that does not include by the way the current class of 18 who'll be graduating graduating in June of this year. So the design and the curriculum of the program have really changed a great deal over the course of the years with a current emphasis on the ARL strategic directions. The only comprehensive study of past past LCDP fellows was completed in 2008 by Teresa Neely from the University of New Mexico. Teresa published an article in the Journal of Library Administration and in her study she reported that 40 percent of former LCDP fellows reported career advancements that they attributed directly to their involvement and training in the LCDP five at that time had moved up to director positions but in non-member libraries. I think it's certainly time to take a hard look at this program again and develop a methodology that will gather the type of data that we need to see where we're going with this program but we are certainly seeing anecdotal evidence of our progress. We have Denise Stevens who's here the first of our LCDP graduates to actually take on a leadership role maybe twice I think in an ARL member library. We have a growing contingent of AULs small but growing contingent of AULs who are participating in the RLLF which I think is positive. I will also say about our current class of LCDP fellows slated to graduate in June that we have had five already who have moved up into leadership positions management positions four within their own institutions and one who has actually gone on to a different institution so I think that's quite telling. Regarding the benefit from the fellows perspective I think as we've seen with our extensive review of the RLLF program it's really the qualitative data that tells much more about the value of this program for the participants. From the fellows perspective they express that they have increased self-awareness of leadership styles and behaviors as well as self-confidence. We need self- confidence or develop self-confidence to pursue leadership roles. They experience greater awareness of the strategic issues and trends of research libraries and institutions an increased awareness of the importance of scholarly output and the value that that brings to leadership. The network and opportunities provided through the program with luminaries in the profession with high level high level campus administrators with AOL directors many of whom serve as career coaches for the program and then of course the relationships the significant relationships and friendships that come out of the experience and the support networks that are developed. And again similar to the RLLF the directors who have supported their staff through this program see a payoff and with the increased knowledge on the part of their fellows about pressing strategic issues on their campuses and in their libraries and of course the increased confidence for leading initiatives and are leading important dialogues on these issues. So the last program that I'll review very quickly for you is the most recent program that was developed a collaborative project with the music between AOL and the Music Library Association. So with respect to minority representation in MLA MLA is in fact the least diverse professional organization in the LIS field that is compared with all of those organizations that I mentioned previously. Certainly that there is there is an advantage of me having come out of that community and having connections with the association and of course having some expertise with respect to the field but most importantly if you're wondering well why MLA the important thing to remember is that this program stands as an experiment in design more than anything else. What we're attempting to do with this program is to take the best elements that are part of the initiative to recruit a diverse workforce the most significant being the generous tuition stipend funding and then the practical work experience that's offered through the career enhancement program through the CEP and kind of combine them into a singular recruitment program really in the attempt to come up with I guess a best practice a most effective strategy for diversity recruitment. Of course the other innovative part about this is that it is in partnership with a library association that operates on a national and international scale. So the jury is still out on this project. We've just started we're just getting our musical ducks in a row so we're just launching and in case you're wondering about employment prospects for the 15 students that we propose to recruit as part of this program there have been in the last three months anywhere between five to seven music and performing arts positions available in the last the last three months or so in ARL libraries so I'd also might mention that I think that there's a growing contingent of former music librarians that are actually ARL directors I think we need a formal study about that and this represents the pie chart reflects the 2009 demographic of the music library association. Okay excuse me I'm a little bit out of so that's sorry so with respect to the the benefits of these programs the program outcomes I mean obviously beyond the improved demographic representation that we have there are so many benefits to participants benefits for the institutions that are involved in these projects and benefits to ARL. I mean naturally we've already discussed the issue awareness for our minority recruitment programs that training comes largely through the leadership symposium and then also through the Purdue library visit that I mentioned a little bit earlier those opportunities to view the operations and expectations for for securing jobs in ARL libraries and then also for being retained and perhaps for advancing once they get there. For program participants this change perception of the employment opportunities and roles that they might engage in in ARL libraries and of course especially for the CEP fellows and we hope for the MLA participants the gaining a practical experience and skills development. Again the development of a community a community of people who support one another who share information about opportunities for professional advancement for funding publication and these sorts of opportunities amongst the cohorts of diversity scholars and CEP fellows. As far as benefits for the institutions it has been expressed by a couple of our CEP partners that they're really their organizations have so little diversity that in fact the CEP fellows when they're on campus for six to twelve weeks that is the only exposure that those organizations have too much diversity to any diversity. Naturally the CEP fellows contribute a great deal to projects on those campuses be it in archival processing be it in research that's in support of other projects being developed and that sort of thing. Many people who are engaged with our CEP fellows and our initiative scholars express very frequently express a sense of professional renewal as they engage with our scholars and CEP fellows as either mentors as supervisors at those host institutions and that sort of thing. And then also just the exposure to a new and energetic crop of MLIS professionals and the various skills that they bring not only the professional skills but their social networking skills and this sort of thing. So there are many benefits with respect to the benefits of it to ARL again it's what we signal to the collective regarding our commitment to these efforts and to make our profession more diverse and then also again the persistent engagement with a new LIS workforce. So looking ahead why should these programs continue? Why should our these programs continue to be developed whatever they look like in the future? Well because the population trends that served as an impetus for these initiatives continue and in fact are intensifying. I'm certain you're all aware of estimates of the U.S. Census Bureau again with my apologies to our Canadian colleagues that predicted minority groups will comprise slightly less than 50 percent of the total U.S. population by 2050. In fact the NCES predicts that by 2020 44 percent of enrollment in institutions of higher education will be from underrepresented groups. I have a feeling that this is likely to happen a lot sooner. And I cite these statistics perhaps with just a little bit of irony because I've long advocated for looking beyond beyond mere representation excuse me as justification for continuing these programs. I mean if we look at the work of the folks that the folks are doing in climate qual at ARL with their protocol and the correlations that are being drawn between institutional commitment to principles of diversity and inclusion and customer satisfaction levels I think we find a great justification. In my stump speeches as I go throughout the country oops excuse me sorry about that I frequently cite the work of Dr. Scott Page at the University of Michigan. He is the author of a book entitled The Difference How the Power of Diversity Creates Better Groups Firms Schools and Societies It's an excellent read and he's done extensive research on groups and their abilities to solve complex problems and what he has found that the more deep diversity that is represented in the group the more effective they are at problem solving. So notwithstanding the other successful programs like the spectrum scholarship program there is simply no other program or group of programs that emphasizes and develops program participants around the issues that are unique to research libraries and research institutions that seeks to develop their skills and align those with the work that the modern research libraries are doing. So I encourage all of you to look at the agendas that are posted on our website agendas of the leadership symposium that was held last January and also the agenda of the Purdue libraries visit a component of the initiative since 2005 because they serve as key examples of how the design and curricula of these programs are not quite like any other. Pardon me. Okay. So lastly and I think this is going to segue into a few things that Nancy might have to say. I just wanted to review not only the history of the programs but the history of funding for these programs by ARL. As you can see here I'm not going to dwell on this too much but there were modest dues increases and portions of which were allocated to diversity in 1994 and 1998 and then again in 2000 with a small amount allocated to the LCDP in the 2005 strategic planning due support for diversity was reduced by 50% at that time. This represents the just a small portion of the expenditures from the $520,000 that we collected in 2000. So these reflect these bars reflect expenditures in the various categories from about 2008 into 2011. Some of this is a little bit misleading because some of that does include large amounts of money that were both collected that were passed through for the National Diversity in Libraries Conference in 2008. So but we're happy to be happy to provide additional information if anybody is interested. So regarding the future of the programs and the future funding I don't want to step I don't want to steal any of your thunder here Nancy but we are going to be looking at a multi pronged approach at redeveloping our resources for our efforts here for diversity efforts. Nancy alerted you a little bit earlier today she's going to say a little bit more about a fundraising plan that's being developed a proposal that we're developing to solicit volunteer contributions from member libraries. Of course we're going to continue to pursue federal grants through IMLS through NSF through anybody who is willing to throw money our way and yeah we'll just explore any opportunities through any funding agencies that we can. We hope to build our fundraising capacity internally by searching for opportunities through other funding agencies through other through foundations perhaps through corporate grants and also perhaps through building strategic partnerships with others who are committed to this work but again with the understanding that no one quite does it or has done it in the way that we've chosen to do it with the focus on academic and research librarianship and with the focus on all of those developmental components that have led I think to a great deal of success for diversity programs. I just want to say first that when we did this 12 years ago I have to honestly confess I never thought this money would last this long. We've leveraged this money incredibly well and as I was listening to our lunch speaker all I could think of was when she said I know we haven't funded many of your programs and I thought perhaps not in terms of dollar amount but in terms of the actual success of these programs I mean we could not have done all of this without IMLS and knowing that we're going into a period where nobody quite knows what the story is going to be in terms of funding that always makes me a little bit nervous but we're at a point where obviously we're going to have to do something else and the committee has been putting together some kind of a proposal that we ran by the board and that we're going to tweaking a little more before it comes out to all of you but we're going to be looking for just a funding mechanism as Mark indicates because I think these programs have been really more successful even than some of us thought they would be and I think it's particularly noteworthy that we started this with for all practical purposes with the programs itself with Deetta Jones who's I can see and Deetta Jones Young and also with Jerome and now with Mark and each one of them has been able to just kind of pick up the ball and carry it on over the course of these 12 years so I think that even speaks more to being able to have it leverage that money so well so if you have any questions I'd be able to answer we wanted to do this program because we pulled this information together I think it's pretty impressive actually how these programs have developed and what's been coming from them if you of course talk to anybody that's in the programs you know they'll tell you how good they think they've been but we're going to have to begin to look for a new another way to keep this going and I just want to also add I got a little discombobulated my notes got out of order but one of the points that I was going to make was that we have raised between the three IMLS grants in support of the initiative to recruit a diverse workforce the one for the CEP and we did reapply in December 15th for a second iteration of the CEP fingers crossed that it will get funded there was also another recruitment program called the ARL Academy for which it was not a diversity program but it was a recruitment program for which ARL was awarded a grant in about $900,000 so over the last the course of the 13 years we've been able to raise almost $3.5 million but it's all been federal funds so we need to to rethink that strategy which of course always makes me a little nervous particularly these days but on the other hand if you're like me in a state agency each year you sort of wonder if this is going to be the year you know that really clamps down and being by nature an optimist I've you know you keep going along thank you for listening music was provided by Josh Woodward for more talks from this meeting please visit www.arl.org


Sheboygan police investigating recent North Sidecar break-ins, prescription drug Take Back Day announced for Sheboygan County, lawmakers slams public education spending. These and other local stories are coming up on this edition of Community News Review. This is Community News Review. The service of WSCS-TV needs content provided by WHBL. I'm Maddie Fister and this is Community News Review for Thursday, October 17, 2019. Sheboygan police are looking into a recent rash of car break-ins. They say the North Side of Sheboygan has been hit especially hard and they are asking folks to please protect your property and lock your vehicles. According to the police, these thefts are usually committed by juveniles, opportunists and those seeking to make money for addictive reasons. They also say that out of the recent reports of theft, none of the vehicles were locked. Police say these types of thefts are very preventable and they are advising you to safeguard your property. Lock your vehicles and please do not leave valuables in plain view or unsecured. This includes wallets, purses, electronic devices like cell phones and headphones, as well as even loose change or currency. Police are asking that the public also be vigilant in your neighborhoods and report suspicious activities. They say if you see something, say something.  Roman Martin was killed while riding his bike to school near 14th and center and a GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family with costs. Martin's funeral took place at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Sheboygan and St. Paul's helped set up the fund for Martin's family. They say 100% of the money raised will go to the Martin family. 30 years ago, three of the Roman's young relatives were killed in a house fire. A 13-year-old severely injured by a car near the North High football field last weekend now has a GoFundMe page set up. Dylan Bogansell was pinned between two cars when a 16-year-old driver struck three legally parked cars near the field entrance this past Saturday. Dylan, who was in the eighth grade and plays for North, suffered extreme trauma and his artery and his right leg was severed. According to the Sheboygan Youth Football Facebook page, he also underwent immediate surgery but will undergo at least two more. Unused and unwanted prescription drugs can pose a danger to children, carry the potential for abuse and the improperly disposed of can contaminate our natural resources. But on Saturday, October 26, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., Sheboygan County residents can safely dispose of pharmaceuticals at five locations. Controlled and non-controlled prescription and over-the-counter medications are all acceptable from households only, no businesses. Solid meds like pills should be removed from their plastic containers and placed in plastic bags, although sealed blister packs are okay, while liquid medications should be in their containers and those five locations are the Howard's Grove Village Hall, Usberg School, Generations in Plymouth, the Random Lake Fire Department, and St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan. If you cannot make it on the 26th, you could dispose of unused meds at any day at any of the five local police departments. A new report says Wisconsin has the second highest binge drinking rate in the U.S. Binge drinking here costs $4 billion a year and about $700 per state resident. The report from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Population Health Institute found that over two-thirds of the economic cost of binge drinking is in loss productivity. The burden of binge drinking in Wisconsin report founded that in 2018 excessive consumption contributed to approximately 79,000 alcohol-related hospitalizations, 25,000 drunk driving arrests, and 2,500 alcohol-related deaths. The report goes on to call it a critical public health concern. And finally, the top man on the Assembly's Education Committee says Wisconsin is not getting nearly enough return on the billions of dollars that taxpayers spend on public schools. State Representative Jerry Thiesfeld yesterday said new numbers from the Department of Public Instruction show that Wisconsin is spending more than ever on public schools. $4.7 billion this year alone, yet 60% of kids in public schools cannot read or add at grade level. Thiesfeld says that the kind of performance is not living up to the expectations. And that is our report for today.

Now, Yasun State Police Command says it has arrested and paraded a housewife, Ganiat Abbas and her husband, Ola Tsubosu, for allegedly stealing a six-day-old baby. The couple who reside in Iwo was paraded alongside other suspected fraudsters and armed robbers at their command headquarters in Ushubu. Now, the Commissioner of Police, Olawali Olaqade, said on March the 24th the couple stole a six-day-old baby from its mother, Jamilat Musa, who allegedly has a medical condition. The couple tricked her with some rubs of cornmeal and 200 naira for bean cake. Olaqade said the baby's mother left to buy the bean cake. Now, the suspect quickly put the baby inside a sack and ran away. Members of the public should be conscious and be wary of these scammers and get rich quick people. Like I have always said, we the officers and men of the Oshun State Police Command shall continue to do our best to make the good citizens of Oshun sleep with their two eyes closed. The Command assures all law-abiding citizens of adequate security of life and properties. I want the criminally-minded people to have a rethink before embarking on any criminal activities, because no matter how smart they are, the long arms of the law will definitely cash off with them. I owe somebody money. I was in my house. I called the person. I said, this is where I am. Please, when I get the money, I'll come and give you the next thing. He came with policemen to my house. The uniform I was putting on was nothing in me. I was asked to put it on because I was a dismissal. That was my original miscertificate. This is my picture when I was in Wolf Run. I live here in Oshubu, in Ogoluwa area.  I dropped every minute kit with me. This is not my uniform. Somebody transported it to me because I wanted to go to Lagos to drop for one senior captain in Nkejakantomet. So it was packed in the line, but when police came to my house, they found it where I kept it. So I was asked to put it on. And it would travel to Meduguri that I just returned back to Oshubu that I should come. It has a program at Tokyo Rio and that's why I came to his house and the police met me in his house. I knew him at the badam. As a soldier, as a serving soldier. Which year? December 20th and November 20th and December 20th, 2020. Did you know he was dismissed? No, I didn't. But he presented himself to you as a serving soldier? Yes, yes. Year 2020? Yes. And did you ID card to collect it? Yes.
