so I don't know the security or whatever I'm not sure what they're talking about
but the sign or the Batman light is above their head the two cops are parked right

people stopped and talked so there wasn't any issue they're so curious to
what they'll say I don't mean the part for you while we're waiting on the cops
but I was hoping there was a group of people over there I was hoping to talk
to you but anyways before I got a camera if you watched this before gotten camera
there was actually quite a few interactions to vegetarians who are
challenging stuff to go vegan three different couples one of which had
health issues and so I'm just gonna recap that I will go back live I think
as I see what the cop situation is actually I'm
gonna be shutting down in like 30 minutes anyways so like sometimes
dealing with those conversations silly but the cops are here and I'm in Tulsa I
am in the downtown part on by the City Hall you can see the City Hall there and
cars kind of multiple directions and this popular blue dome districts where a
bunch of bars are and then again cops are here so I'm going to close out we'll
turn it back on in a little bit if the cops come okay
see you later bye

KETO MEAL PREP FOR LAZY PEOPLE | KEILA KETO - Duration: 11:19.
new hair who is hey guys it's Keila I am back with a long awaited no prep video
now I know all of you guys have been waiting community do another bail prep
and I'm so happy that you guys like these videos these are actually my
favorite to make but they do take a lot of time so I've been trying to get them
out once a month so it's about that time and this is for my special people the
people that are extremely lazy since this move I have been so lately with my
mill press I can't be bothered with half the things that I normally do so I
wanted to show that you still can do a good comforting really good tasting meal
prep that doesn't take that long and you can use some prepackaged things to make
things go a lot smoother as some of you guys might know I do practice
intermittent fasting so most of it is I just fast up into lunch so in this milk
wrap I'm only going to be showing my lunch and dinners what I do work out
sometimes I like to get a protein shake in my system I've been testing out
smoothie recipes so hopefully in the coming weeks I will have a couple more
breakfast ideas for anyone that isn't on intermittent fasting but the first meal
is an extremely lazy chicken with asparagus and cauliflower rice meal now
this is so lazy that I didn't even cook the chicken I just bought the
prepackaged already made one but I should have chicken and then cauliflower
eyes has been like my go-to from the beginning I think it was in my last meal
prep video because it's honestly just a staple I use it more as a bulking
mechanism to make it feel like I'm eating more I just have a bag of
cauliflower rice with a couple of tablespoons of avocado oil sprinkle a
dough on add your favorite seasonings I'm just using some salt some pepper
onion powder and I think garlic powder
and I'm mixing that all together and then flattening out and then putting it
in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes and then I mix it and put it in
the oven for another three to four minutes definitely keep an eye out on it
when you're putting it back in the oven because since it is cauliflower rice
they're smaller so they do burn relatively fast
at my grocery store they had a sale for asparagus there were 99 cents for a
pound so I ended up getting two stalks I ended up saving like six or seven bucks
which is amazing and I usually buy my veggies depending on the pricing which
you can't be a dollar for asparagus come on guys so I just have asparagus and I
cut off the ends washed it dried I put it on a foil lined baking tray and now
you can do a couple tablespoons of avocado oil olive oil coconut oil
whatever oil that you have on hand but I personally love the flavor of asparagus
and bacon so I took the extra step and cooked off two pieces of bacon in the
skillet and used the rendered fat to season of asparagus
you definitely chop up the bacon and add it to your asparagus and put it in the
oven but I ended up just eating it while I was filming this video and it was
amazing
add your seasonings to your surrogate
and then put that in the oven or indeed grieve as well for about 15 minutes I
don't think I added extra time to this my oven cooked this off really really
fast and you want it to be a little bit undercooked so when you do reheat it it
just gets completely fully cooked placed your cook food in a container and store
for up to four or five days
this is such a time saver for me and at my store it only cost $7.99 and usually
buying a package of like chicken thighs it runs me about five or six dollars so
if you guys don't feel like cooking and want to pay a couple of dollars it's
already cooked for you you just portion it out I am a firm believer and just
buying chicken and sometimes I don't like handling chicken I'm weird like
that the next dish I was trying to recreate a dish that I get all the time
it's close to my job and it's like a spicy Italian fettuccine and I usually
replace the fettuccine with broccoli so I wanted to do that here and honestly
guys if you guys watched my last mult prep video of me making my homemade meat
sauce if you're lazy I'm Tom you make this sauce and do the rest of the steps
for the lasagna it takes probably like half of the time not even half it's so
easy I'm using a jarred sauce I mean affection let me find it I'm using the
RO homemade sauce now this is really great uncarved the one that I used is
the spicy Arabica all right I don't know how to say that I'll put it somewhere
here I'm usually not sauce and I believe the card count for that was four and
it's five servings so I'm actually making enough sauce for five but I'm
only showing you four we've ended up eating that for my dinner that night
eight I just have some hot Italian sausage that I am cooking down and
rendering off
and then once that's completely cooked I add the sauce in
let that all simmer for five to ten minutes just so that way all the flavors
can kind of marriage together honestly I didn't even put any extra
seasonings in this my hot Italian sausage had plenty of flavor and then
the pasta sauce was a little bit spicy so it was perfect it didn't need any
extra seasoning which is great and super easy because you know it's gonna taste
good and once it was done I put it on low so it can just barely simmer and I
added 1/4 of a cup of heavy whipping cream you can add more depending on how
creamy you want it but since I wanted to add a lot of cheese on this I was like
you know what I might want to save my fat for that
as the meat sauce is cooking I used half of a bag of broccoli now this bag is a
big family size bag so the serving size was 11 finished about half so it ended
up being about five five and a half servings
place your broccoli and the sauce together I usually combined it when I
warm it up but for presentation purposes I wanted it to look all cute for you
guys again I'm only showing you guys four because I did end up eating one of
these meals kinda as I was filming a little bit after but I didn't want to
specify that this does make enough for five if you want a full Monday through
Friday meal
and there you have it it quick easy and not that expensive meal prep that didn't
take you mom the roast off is pretty expensive I think it is $9.99 but I got
some on sale for half the price so it's pretty much buy one get one free so
definitely check to see if there's any sales on sauces the asparagus was on
sale even the broccoli that I got was on sale the big bag was originally I think
five or six bucks I got it for 399 so you can definitely save time energy and
money if you cut corners like that it's really hard finding prepackaged things
on sale so I hopped on the broccoli and I hopped on that pasta sauce once again
thank you guys so much for watching I really do love making these no Pro video
so if you like them and want me to continue making them you know what to do
don't forget to like this video comment what other meals that you want me to try
to keto fire or you've been craving or things that you want to see on this
channel and I will see you guys in the next one bye

LeBron James Shares the Ultimate Praise for 'Black Panther' - Duration: 2:03.
What's up, guys?
Frazier here for Complex News.
As always, LeBron James has been a busy guy over the course of the last couple weeks.
Between taking part in all of the NBA All-Star festivities and getting back to playing with
the Cleveland Cavaliers, he hasn't had a ton of free time.
But earlier this week, LeBron finally made some time to see Black Panther, and like most
people, he absolutely loved what he saw on the big screen.
During his media availability with reporters on Tuesday, LeBron was asked to share his
thoughts on Black Panther, and he responded by giving it the ultimate praise.
He called it "one of the greatest movies I've ever seen," and he said that it couldn't
have come out at a better time.
And he didn't stop there.
LeBron continued by gushing over the movie and the importance of it coming out at this
particular moment.
"It's almost like when Bird and Magic came into the league.
They just needed to have that at that particular time.
It's almost like when Jordan entered it.
Almost like when somebody found out how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, like
the greatest thing that happened at that point in time.
And Black Panther is that, because right now in society, we're talking Black Lives Matter
and equality and things of that nature, and we see a community in Wakanda who was basically
shielding themselves away from everybody, because they felt what they had and how they
protected their ones was the best way for them to survive, and then towards the end,
they said, 'Well, in order for us to survive as a people, we have to be one.'"
LeBron's comments on Black Panther came just days after San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich went as far as to compare LeBron to Black Panther because of the way he sets
an example for kids and speaks up on important issues.
"That's what's amazing about this when you look at this guy.
How many millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars he's given.
Tens of millions of kids that are inspired by him.
It's kind of like the Black Panther movie.
How cool is that for kids to see that and have that superhero?
Well, LeBron's been that for a long time...He's very, very special.
We should all be very proud that we have someone like that who's willing to speak about a
variety of topics."
LeBron obviously isn't the only one who loves Black Panther.
The film just became the third-highest domestically grossing Marvel movie ever by earning more
than $400 million in its first two weeks in theaters.
And it's poised to do even more than that in the weeks to come.
That means it could potentially end up being the most successful Marvel movie ever before
everything is all said and done.
That's the news for now, but for all of the latest news on LeBron James and Black
Panther, subscribe to Complex News on YouTube.
For Complex News, I'm Frazier.

University for Missouri: Research, Creative Activities & Economic Development - Duration: 51:36.
>>Thank you all for being here.
My name is Al Willsey.
I work as a research assistant in the Philosophy Department, and that's where I'm a third year
doctoral student.
I serve as the treasurer of the Graduate Professional Council, which is the student government for
more than 7,000 graduate and professional students on campus.
The president of GPC wishes he could be here today but he's at home on bed rest for a minor
injury.
I keep trying to tell him that exercise is dangerous.
So it's my pleasure to welcome you all here today.
I first came to Mizzou from Kansas City in 2011 as an undergraduate pursuing mathematics.
As part of my STEM degree, I was required, though I prefer to interpret that as encouraged,
to take humanities courses in the College of Arts and Science.
It was this encouragement that led me to take philosophy classes from logic to philosophy
of mind.
This selection of courses inspired me to take an extra academic year of coursework just
to get an extra degree, one in philosophy.
And now I'm continuing along in that field at the graduate level.
I'm grateful to Mizzou that there is so much opportunity present on campus that we'd never
expect.
And I've been able to follow that opportunity into a new career path.
I'm also grateful that Mizzou has been able to offer me a tuition waiver and stipend to
keep me around.
I would not have been able to pursue my graduate degree at this institution nor serve my fellow
students without the financial package offered to me.
As treasurer of the graduate professional student government, I've had the opportunity
on a couple of occasions to speak with Chancellor Cartwright in person.
The GPC leadership has seen the Chancellor's dedication to furthering students success.
What has been of particular importance to me is the Chancellor's dedication to pursuing
genuine innovation in how we train, utilize and place our graduate professional students.
As Missouri's only public R1 AAU university, finding dynamic and innovative ways to make
graduate professional students more central to Missouri's sense of identity offers significant
opportunity just waiting to be capitalized on.
As a graduate student leader, I look forward to working with the Chancellor in the future.
But without further ado, I'm pleased to introduce the man himself, Chancellor Alexander Cartwright.
[ Applause ]
>> Thank you Al for that introduction, and thanks to all of you for being here today,
both in the auditorium and listening online.
Al spoke of many of the things that make Mizzou a great institution - and his experience is
an example of the opportunities provided to both graduate and undergraduate students as
part of a public research institution.
By working with our faculty, students at Mizzou have a unique opportunity to gain an outstanding
education, whether they are working on a philosophy doctorate, an M.D. degree, an engineering
degree, or any other degree at MU.
In November, after my first 100 days at Mizzou, I shared with you our renewed commitment to
supporting student success.
Today, after a little more than 200 days here, I want to focus on some of the ways Mizzou
makes a positive impact on the state, the nation and the world.
And, I want to share with you how we will increase this positive impact through our
research, our creative activities and through our ability to drive economic development.
There are many things that make a great institution like Mizzou exceptional.
We are a public institution, an AAU institution - one of only 32 publics in the country.
We are classified as a Carnegie 1 research institution, the highest level.
We are a land-grant campus that is accessible to the people of the state, a campus that
extends its knowledge out to the people through Extension.
We are a Midwestern institution, with strong Midwestern values, and a member of the SEC.
All of these things help define who we are, and what we are able to do for our state.
But what really makes us exceptional are our people.
It is our students, and it is our faculty and staff who contribute to our mission of
teaching, research, creative activities, service and economic development
in their work every day.
And we have the tremendous support of our alumni, our supporters and our friends across
the state, nation and world.
Today, we are going to explore the areas of research, creative activities, and economic
development.
I'll share some successes, and also share my thoughts on where we plan to go in each
of these areas.
And what I want to show, as we go through each these areas, is the significant impact
Mizzou has on society today, and how we can have an even greater impact in the future.
That impact begins with the quality and breadth of the scholarship of our faculty.
They are shaping views on economics, politics and society.
They enrich our lives through the arts and humanities.
They are able to develop solutions to the world's grand challenges - food, water, health,
and others.
And they engage our community - both on and off campus.
Our faculty truly are thought leaders.
They have received more than 400 major national and international awards.
Six are National Academy of Inventors members and six are National Academy of Sciences members.
And they are prolific in publishing - more than 500 books in the last ten years.
And 600 conference proceedings in the last three years.
And more than 7,000 articles published during the last three years, which are cited numerous
times by other researchers in their field.
And there's even more I can brag about - and I do believe we need to brag more about ourselves.
Our faculty have helped Mizzou achieve national and global recognition.
We're ranked number 1 in the world in the area of animal reproductive physiology.
We're competitively ranked in accounting, law, journalism, business marketing, nursing,
Mizzou Online, and many other areas.
But the impact we have on society doesn't end with the faculty.
Consider what our students contribute - nine Fulbright grants in 2017.
Mizzou juniors selected as prestigious Truman scholars nationally each of the past three
years for their commitment to public service.
Nearly 100 students interning in state and federal government offices each year.
Our students served more than 1.7 million hours in the community last year.
And 500 undergraduate students participated in research.
You can see some of these students and their work in the atrium after this talk.
Now, we just went through a lot of numbers.
And I have to warn you that this talk is full of numbers.
I didn't just show you these numbers to brag, although bragging about Mizzou is an important
part of my job.
I don't expect you to remember all of these numbers but I use these numbers to quantify
the significant impact of our faculty and students at Mizzou, across the state and around
the world.
Our impact is amplified by the support of our tremendous supporters - many of whom are
our alums.
Our donor supported signature centers of excellence enable our internationally recognized scholars
to impact the world.
These centers include the Kinder Institute, the Reynolds Journalism Institute, the Thompson
Center, the Novak Leadership institute and the Murray Center for Documentary Journalism,
among others.
The impact of Mizzou is the result of the outstanding work of our faculty, students
and staff.
I would like to highlight some of the individual examples of their incredible contributions.
Autism is a spectrum of closely related symptoms involving behavioral, social and cognitive
deficits.
Early detection is key to producing the best outcomes.
At Mizzou, a multi-disciplinary team including Chi-Ren Shyu, in the College of Engineering,
created a new method to identify several target genes for autism.
Using advanced computational techniques as well as the capabilities of the National Science
Foundation (NSF)-funded big data center at Mizzou, Shyu and his team were able to identify
193 new candidate genes.
Judith Miles, professor emerita of child health-genetics at the Thompson Center, says that these new
targets are ones that she and her fellow geneticists might not have considered previously.
Funding for the project was also provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
as well as the Simons Foundation in New York.
The decline in wild and managed bee populations is threatening the pollination of flowers
in more than 85 percent of flowering plants and 75 percent of agricultural crops worldwide.
Widespread and effective monitoring of bee populations could lead to better management;
however, tracking bees is tricky and costly.
Candace Galen, professor of biological science in the College of Arts and Science, developed
an inexpensive acoustic listening system using data from small microphones in the field to
monitor bees in flight.
The study shows how farmers could use the technology to monitor pollination and increase
food production.
The team is even developing a smartphone app that records bee activity.
Many middle school students can be at a disadvantage when it comes to learning science, technology,
engineering and math principles.
For learners with disabilities and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds,
understanding these principles can be especially challenging.
To address this, Delinda van Garderen, professor and director of graduate studies in MU's Department
of Special Education; and Bill Folk, professor of biochemistry in CAFNR and the School of
Medicine, have applied understanding of these principles to improve professional development
for teachers and assess the materials they are using for instruction.
This is funded by a $1.25 million NIH grant.
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is a rare genetic condition
with a high mortality rate that develops primarily between the ages of six weeks and six months.
It targets the spinal cord and leads to atrophy of body muscles and paralysis of the diaphragm,
which is responsible for breathing.
The average life expectancy is 13 months, and it affects 200,000 people in the U.S.
Currently, there is no cure or effective treatment for this disease.
Chris Lorson, a professor of veterinary pathobiology, has spent decades studying this disorder.
Chris and his team, through funding from the NIH and the Silas Warner and Catherine Sims
Families, developed a gene replacement therapy that can be used to treat and control the
disease in the future.
Chris' research highlights the power of translational precision medicine that I will discuss later.
It is exciting to see the work we are doing on the creative side as well.
Art on the Move provides professional opportunities for students to interact with the public exhibitions,
workshops, and internships, while they're still in school.
This effort is part of the new School of Visual Studies in the College of Arts and Science,
which realigned programs in art, art history, film studies and digital storytelling.
This interdisciplinary approach has resulted in a significant number of students seeking
these majors.
In the School of Medicine, our Functional Assessment Screening Team is developing motion
analysis technology in areas such as sports medicine, physical therapy, strength and conditioning,
biomechanics and computer science to improve the health and well-being of patients - including
athletes - by identifying risk factors for injury, tracking rehabilitation outcomes and
optimizing athletic performance.
This program is housed in our newly expanded Missouri Orthopaedic Institute.
Another great example of collaboration can be seen in the iLab initiative.
The iLab is a virtual reality facility, housed in the College of Human Environmental Science's
Architectural Studies area, that enables stereoscopic 3-dimensional (3D) visualization and design
collaboration.
These collaborations involve engineering, medicine, the Thompson Center for Autism,
journalism and more.
TigerPlace is a 33-unit housing facility built by Americare Systems, Inc. in collaboration
with the MU Sinclair School of Nursing.
A high-tech independent housing facility, TigerPlace allows elderly people to age in
place through the end of life, maximizing independence and function.
It is a state-of-the-art eldercare facility where residents volunteer to participate in
research projects that help to advance care practices.
As an example, researchers at the University of Missouri have been collaborating for the
past 14 years on a project aimed at helping to prevent the nightmarish scenario of an
elderly person falling and lying injured for hours before help arrives.
"The eldertech team," as it's been nicknamed, is an interdisciplinary group of remarkable
scale, with researchers from multiple fields such as engineering, veterinary medicine,
nursing, medicine, health professions and other areas working closely together.
Marjorie Skubic, professor of electrical and computer engineering, is leading the effort
on the engineering side.
To predict falls, researchers used data collected from sensor systems at TigerPlace.
The system generates images and an alert email for nurses indicating when irregular motion
was detected.
This information could be used to assist nurses in assessing functional decline, providing
treatment and preventing falls.
As we go through these examples, you see how we have faculty who are on the cutting edge
of their fields.
They are discovering new knowledge that benefits society.
And we often say that our professors not only teach from the latest books, they write them.
These are just a few of the dozens of books that our faculty publish each year.
We also find achievements in professional divisions such as the School of Law.
Our MU Board of Advocates won the American Bar Association regional championships in
client counseling and arbitration.
Our MU Black Law Students Association have advanced to the National Frederick Douglass
Moot Court and the National Thurgood Marshall Mock Trial competitions.
We have many incredible faculty at Mizzou, and here's a great example.
MU bioengineering Professor Sheila Grant, who also serves as associate dean of research
at the College of Engineering, has been named a 2017 Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors
(NAI).
Election to NAI status is the highest professional accolade bestowed to academic inventors.
This is just one of many accolades that Dr. Grant has received during her career.
She holds seven U.S. patents related to sensors, nanomaterials and biomaterials and holds many
international patents.
Three of her technologies have been licensed.
She is the founder of three startup companies, and she has published more than 100 peer-reviewed
research articles.
When we think of research and creative activities, we often think of the faculty, along with
their staff who support the efforts.
But at Mizzou, these activities are a big part of graduate and undergraduate experiences.
Let's look at some examples of how research and creative works support our graduate and
undergraduate students.
We are able to connect research with many of our teaching activities at MU.
Whether it is in agriculture, medicine, music, history, teaching or business, hands-on experiences
based on our faculty's scholarly expertise are what make a Mizzou unique and give our
students a competitive edge, whether in the work force or in advanced studies.
Consider the example of Alexa Thein, one of many students working with Dr. Michael Marlo
and Dr. Rebecca Grollemund who are both in English and Linguistics.
Alexa was one of four undergraduates who traveled to Kenya this past summer to do linguistics
field work as they document and analyze Bantu languages, which have many dialects spoken
throughout most of the continent.
And here is Dr. Ruchi Bhattacharya and Dr. Terrell Morton, both post docs who won a 2017
Student Teaching and Learning Research Grant for their exploration of learning to think
with data in a graduate statistics course.
She is an aquatic biogeochemist and quantitative ecologist in the School of Natural Resources,
and he is a scholar in the College of Education.
During the reception after my talk, I invite you to visit the Mezzanine area just upstairs
here at Bond Life Sciences Center, where you can see displays of the work of our faculty
and students.
These displays include work in many areas - linguistics, anthropology, art, biochemistry,
mathematics, architecture - and are examples of innovative exploration taking place across
all of our schools and colleges.
Please take time to check this out and to talk with our students and faculty about their work.
I believe that one of the most powerful ways we can thrive as an institution, and increase
our external recognition as thought leaders among our AAU and Research 1 peer institutions
is by bringing people together.
In 2010, MU began investing strategically to amplify our areas of expertise through
the Mizzou Advantage program.
This program focused our research efforts in five key areas: One Health/One Medicine,
Sustainable Energy, Media of the Future, Education and Food for the Future.
You can see the leaders from each of these areas on the slide.
We have seen several outcomes from Mizzou Advantage, including the work of the Aaron
Ericsson with the MU Metagenomics Center; the Based on a True Story Conference led by
former Chancellor Brady Deaton; Bill Ma's Oscillating Pipes research that led to a new
company; Twyla Gibson's work in the digital humanities, and a Summit on universities fighting
world hunger led by Sandy Rikoon in Human Environmental Sciences.
Our Mizzou Advantage investments of $12.12 million have resulted in more than $49 million
in external support, including more than $42 million in grants and more than $4 million
in donations to support the program.
I believe we have several individuals who are part of Mizzou Advantage, along with many
of the staff, who helped with this program.
I'd like to take a moment to recognize our entire Mizzou Advantage team for their work.
Please stand up. [ Applause ]
Thank you for your contributions to this important program and for your efforts to promote the
incredible work of our faculty, staff and students.
Here we can see our research expenditure trends at MU over the past few years.
It has been a challenging environment for all research institutions during this time.
The federal government has decreased funding to some agencies which in turn reduces our
access to funding.
Moreover, real growth of research funding has stagnated.
We must all become more competitive.
This graph of our Higher Education Research and Development expenditures shows that our
research expenditures have increased slightly during this challenging time.
So while I've gone through many examples of successes and outcomes, we want to do more
Creative activities are critical to the advancement of our society.
We value the arts, music, theater, humanities and how they impact our lives.
Today I am announcing plans to launch an artist in residence program at Mizzou that will bring
exciting artists and creative thinkers here to share their expertise with our faculty,
staff and students and the public.
I'm asking the Dean of the College of Arts and Science to lead this university wide effort
and an associated showcase event.
To further explore the contributions creative arts bring to our lives, we will reimagine
the chancellor's showcase to provide dozens of examples of creativity by our students,
faculty, staff and the community.
I look forward to seeing what ideas our campus community brings forward toward this concept.
Curators' Professors hold the highest and most prestigious academic rank awarded by
the Board of Curators.
Recipients are outstanding scholars with established reputations.
We are going to set up a new Academy of Curators' Professors.
This will feature many of our best and brightest researchers.
I'm asking the Provost to take the lead in organizing them in a way that provides more
interaction with junior faculty and scholars, and enables them to share their expertise
with a broader range of our community.
John Jones, a Curators' Professors participating in this Academy, will serve as a resource
for the entire university, providing guidance and mentorship to students and junior faculty
alike.
I am committed to increasing opportunities for students and faculty to receive national
recognition awards for their excellence.
Our faculty and students are doing amazing things, and we will prioritize helping them
gain national awards of excellence, recognition and appreciation they deserve.
I am asking the Office of the Provost to have a renewed effort in nominating our students
and faculty for prestigious recognition awards.
We are announcing an effort today to explore alternative career pathways for graduate students
who choose not to enter the academy after completing their degrees.
I know that our graduate student leaders have been thinking about the "alt-ac" approach
many students take, and they have some great ideas of how we can better prepare and support
these students as they enter the workplace.
I've asked our office of Graduate Studies to work with our graduate student leadership
to further develop their concepts and to establish a much needed resource for "alt-ac" careers
for graduate students.
Today I am announcing a new goal for MU to double our external research funding in the
next five years.
Achieving this goal allows us to support our pathbreaking work that contributes so much
to society.
We have much work to do as we develop strategies to achieve this.
I ask that we all work together to achieve this goal.
This chart shows our funding totals among our peers in the AAU.
We currently have just a little over $250 million in expenditures, which puts us in
the lowest quartile.
To reach the third quartile, it would require an increase of more than $102 million.
Doubling of our external research will enable us to move into that third quartile.
To be able to accomplish this, we need to change and re-align
our research organizational structure for success.
Collaboration allows scientists and scholars to leverage specific skills to advance the
sorts of interdisciplinary, multi contextual projects that are increasingly the norm in
our rapidly changing and enormously complex research and development environment.
I am announcing today the creation of a new Office of Research Advancement.
This office will provide the infrastructure to help us more successfully pursue large
interdisciplinary grants AND other grants that we have not traditionally received.
For example, this office will help in pursuing NSF science and technology centers, or new
National Endowment for the Humanities grants.
This office will help develop grant writing skills and provide professional editing for
the large center level grants.
The Office of Research will lead the effort to create this support office.
The goal of clinical trials at MU is to uncover more effective treatments for Missourians
living with illness.
My goal is to leverage our clinical infrastructure so we can double - or more -- the funding
of clinical trials at Mizzou.
This effort will further advance our clinicians and MU health, as leaders in clinical care.
The School of Medicine and MU Health Care researchers are currently working on more
than 500 clinical trials at various levels of recruitment and progress.
These trials delve into a variety of illnesses and diseases ranging from autism and cancer
to chronic pain management and obesity.
The University of Missouri's Participate in Discovery Initiative takes the pursuit of
breakthroughs further, asking community members to play a significant role in health research.
By signing up, Missourians can play an active part in research studies, creating a database
of people willing to participate in research that aligns with their interests.
Clinicians and researchers will have a ready source of participants willing to answer telephone
interviews, complete surveys or participate in clinical trials.
By getting involved, Missourians can become partners in the future of our state's health
as we become a national leader in health research.
The MU College of Veterinary Medicine uses clinical trials to advance treatment of the
animals we love.
From cancer and vaccines to antibiotics and vitamin D, their work aims to figure out whether
or not promising laboratory results can solve real-world problems with disease in animals
and occasionally works to see whether this work can translate into humans.
I look forward to seeing many more examples on campus in the next five years.
Core facilities like our Bond Life Sciences Center and our Metabolomics Center help to
expand the scale and scope of MU's collaborative research enterprise, making it easier for
MU researchers to network with other research centers, scientists and scholars nationwide.
These research centers also spur the sorts of exciting ideas and innovations that federal,
state and industrial funding agencies are eager to support.
Spaces like these help our faculty scientists and scholars "think bigger" and envision new,
innovative and comprehensive centers of discovery.
These facilities provide access to expensive equipment that single labs or departments
would find difficult or impossible to support individually.
By pairing that with specialized expertise from dedicated scientists, they play a significant
role in getting research from hypothesis to published discovery.
Centers like the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center take shared facilities in
a different direction.
Designed with teamwork in mind, this center provides facilities and a culture of sharing
to a pool of high-achieving scientists across divisions.
This culture allows researchers to form collaborations to solve problems in human and animal health,
the environment and agriculture.
Engineers are working with cancer biologists, plant scientists with biomedical researchers,
lab researchers with field biologists, and information technology experts with biologists.
We're also training the next generation of collaborators through undergraduate and graduate
research.
Facilities like the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) support scientific
advancement through its 10-megawatt facility, the most powerful university research reactor
in the country.
MURR supports the research of about 400 faculty and 150 graduate students from around the
world.
These researchers represent more than 100 universities and about
40 federal and industrial labs.
The National Swine Resource and Research Center was established in 2003 to develop the infrastructure
to ensure that biomedical investigators across a variety of disciplines have access to critically
needed swine models of human health and disease.
The Center also serves as a central resource for reagents, creation of new genetically
modified swine, and information and training related to use of swine models in biomedical
research.
We will work to attract 3 to 5 additional externally funded national research centers
in the next 5 years.
National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and other federal agencies all
have competitions for centers that address some of the nation's most complex challenges.
These multidisciplinary national centers break down walls and eliminate barriers, act as
a shared resource for our scholars and help us to attract additional grants and gain prestige.
One of the biggest examples of our opportunity to do this is through the planned Translational
Precision Medicine Complex.
Translational medicine "translates" advancements made in lab into new drugs, devices and treatments
that improve human health using the bench-to-bedside model.
Think about it....this enables us to deliver customized patient care based on an individual's
genetics, environment and lifestyle.
The TPMC will bring together industry partners, multiple schools and colleges on campus, and
the federal government to advance precision medicine through new diagnostics and therapies
and create new companies based on these innovations.
Our new Translation Precision Medicine Complex will serve - along with already well-established
facilities such as the Bond Life Science Center - as exemplars of this crucial change in our
research culture.
So far, this project has already featured collaboration with the Cerner Corporation,
the Tiger Institute for Health and MU Schools and Colleges of Medicine, Engineering, Veterinary
Medicine, Health and Environmental Sciences, Arts and Sciences and the Research Reactor.
The TPMC will help MU emerge as a global leader in biomedical research and will maximize opportunities
for external grant funding.
It will also enhance our ability to recruit and retain the most talented researches.
As we pursue the TPMC, we want to avoid the traditional, siloed approach where functions
or disciplines are housed in one prescribed area.
Instead, we will work to integrate different functions to better support collaboration
and cross-pollination of ideas.
Today I am also announcing Mizzou Innovates, an annual competition that will focus on engaging
our students, faculty, and staff in identifying and proposing, and hopefully demonstrating,
solutions to the grand challenges in our state, country and world.
Solutions to these complex challenges require multidisciplinary approaches that include
our research and creative activities.
Examples in our state are access to broadband, or providing better health care in rural areas.
In the world they include feeding the world in 2050 - something that Missouri can contribute
to in a significant way.
This effort will encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in solving problems that
improve our lives.
Earlier this month, Dr. Mark McIntosh and many other leaders across campus traveled
to Tarkio in northwest Missouri to participate in discussions around the opportunities and
challenges around putting up wind turbines in that community.
The group visited with community stakeholders, met with Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake
Hurst and toured various sites in and around Tarkio.
It was an excellent opportunity to seek out ways in which MU can provide research-based
solutions to help the decision-making process in local communities related to clean energy
and wind turbines.
Partnerships such as these can help the state and local communities leverage the tremendous
resources Mizzou can provide and can fit within the Mizzou Innovates concept.
As part of the Mizzou Innovates Challenge, we will host a symposium where people can
come together to learn more about grand challenges and hear about proposed and realized solutions
developed by our faculty, students and staff.
I have asked the Provost to determine the structure and process of this initiative.
It should be an opportunity not just to lend our expertise to help solve challenges, but
also a way to connect the University and the community and to communicate all the ways
our scholarship helps society.
Up until now, I have talked a lot about research and creative activities.
And you can probably see the former Vice President for Research and Economic Development in me.
I wanted to talk about everything that we do. But what I want to talk about now
is to shift to discuss how our in education, research and creative activities
impact the economy of the local community, state and world.
Our alumni represent a wide reach.
We have more than 130,000 in Missouri, each contributing in their own way in every county.
And our alumni represent Mizzou across the country.
And across the world.
As a very specific example of economic impact of these alums, more than 2,000 physician
alumni of our School of Medicine currently practice across the state of Missouri, from
the most rural areas to the more urban ones.
It is estimated that each of these physicians contribute on the order of $2.1 million annually
to the economy, for a total impact of $4.3 billion.
We have noteworthy impacts in other health related areas as well.
245 students graduated from our nursing school since December 2016, and more than 73% of
these nurses are now employed in Missouri with an average starting pay of $48,000.
We can think of many ways we impact the economy.
Indeed, it is part of our four-part mission of teaching, research, service and - economic
development.
Here are just a few examples, from grants to partnering with industry to attracting
private gifts.
And most importantly, the impact of over 8,000 credentials we award to students who graduate
from Mizzou each year.
Many of these students enter the workforce and others continue on to get even additional
degrees.
Then there are the tremendous contributions our journalism faculty, staff and students
make in their daily work with KOMU-TV, KBIA Radio, the Missourian and other news and magazine
offerings, and Ad-Zou, a group of talented students that develop marketing and advertising
campaigns for companies across the nation.
And the arts and humanities provide economic impact.
A 2015 study in Columbia found that arts and culture generated more than $14 million in
local economic activity in areas such as the arts, humanities, theater and music.
Much of that is related to the University, and we all benefit.
Here, we provide our students with an opportunity to learn with others in a diverse setting.
According to a McKinsey study that recently came out, businesses and organizations that
are diverse in terms of gender and ethnicity are much more successful financially than
those that are not.
Today's employers and industry leaders want students who are ready to work with others
to embrace a global economy. We provide that.
In the past year, under the leadership of Dr. Kevin McDonald, we have developed a new
inclusive excellence framework that shapes the steps organizations or institutions can
take to provide their employees or members with opportunities to become more successful
in today's global marketplace.
Kevin's framework has been embraced by several different organizations.
So what does this mean to the University?
It means our students are prepared for success - no matter what their area of study.
That is why more than 5,500 employers recruited students on campus last year.
We expect there to be even more this year.
The examples I've shared this morning of work taking place at MU help illustrate how our
Research Enterprise is a powerful economic engine.
Consider that we have annual expenditures of $200 million for research.
We bring $16.9 million in fee-for-service revenues and license $8.9 million from technology.
The UM System is currently completing a study that will provide much more detail on the
overall impact of the University on the state and nation.
We expect the results of that study to be released in the next month.
MU has a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem made up of education and training, corporate
engagement, and research innovations.
This ecosystem has enabled us to launch several companies.
Here are a few of the recent examples.
We plan to have many more in the future.
There is a clear correlation between innovation and economic growth.
However, research discoveries and innovations are worth very little unless they enter the
marketplace where they can provide societal and economic growth.
The innovation ecosystem at MU includes the management of our intellectual property, translational
research like the Coulter Program, industry partnerships and for entrepreneurs.
Finally, I want to give an example of recent success of one of our students who started
their own company.
Consider Bea Doheny, who is majoring in business in the Trulaske School of Business.
She has always loved the solar system and has a keen eye for fashion and a passion for
arts and crafts.
In 2016, she launched AstronoBEAds, a jewelry business with a space theme.
She has shipped hundreds of accessories all over the world.
Here are examples of additional products made possible with MU innovations/intellectual
property.
They have had a far-reaching impact.
Heartburn sufferers find relief from Zegerid, a medicine that combines a proton-pump inhibitor
acid blocker with an antacid.
Net sales have exceeded $1.3 billion worldwide.
MU's soy-based meat substitute that replicates the taste, texture and appearance of chicken
helped launch Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat company that has products in 19,000 stores
and restaurants.
More than four million patients have benefited from OBERD, the world's largest orthopedic
outcomes database.
OBERD enables physicians and hospitals to collect the data they need to make better
patient-care decisions, ultimately improving health outcomes.
The company has clients in 34 states, including four of the nation's top five orthopedic hospitals.
Market forces require the university's ecosystem to be dynamic and continually evolve.
We are in the process of re-envisioning how we fulfill our economic development mission
at Mizzou.
For example, we plan to invest more heavily in industry relationships by providing new
opportunities for them to have a presence on campus and for their researchers to collaborate
with ours.
Indeed, Mizzou is open for business.
And that means we must partner with businesses and the state to understand their needs and
ensure that we are preparing students for the opportunities that exist today and in
the future.
And we serve the state through MU Health Care.
Representing a third of our overall budget, MU Health Care reaches all corners of our
state, and served more than 216,000 patients last year.
These numbers reflect the significant impact of this important part of the institution.
As part of our mission, we serve patients from every county in Missouri.
This is particularly true for the patients in the 25-county service area you see here
in gold.
Taken in total, MU Health Care contributes more than $3 billion to the state's economy.
Economic impact can also be measured through the work of Extension and its business development program.
From 2015 to 2017, our Extension's Business Development Program helped create more than
800 new businesses and gain $347 million in new investments.
29,000 jobs were created or retained with Extension's help.
Our research centers can be found across the state, with each one drawing on expertise
that relates to issues facing the region.
The University draws Missourians from across the state and beyond.
A good example is the Agriculture Research Centers, which drew 36,000 people to field
days and other activities last year.
To give you an idea of just how valuable the Extension programs are to Missouri...for every
dollar invested, the University creates an $11 return on investment.
This translates to a $945 million in economic impact annually.
This is one of the best returns on investment you will find anywhere.
And, who can deny the powerful economic contributions we create through our athletics programs?
Eight of our teams are ranked in the top 25 nationally, we're part of the SEC, and anyone
who has attended a women's or men's basketball game lately knows that the fan base continues
to grow.
Not to mention the return of our football team to a bowl game last year and our volleyball
team reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second year in a row.
This success on the field and the courts means economic success for Missouri - we estimate
the economic impact of our SEC activities is more than $294 million.
And with all of these successes, we still want to do more!
We are re-envisioning what the Library of the Future may look like, and how we can leverage
the library to provide even more support for innovation and creative activities.
How we use these spaces is changing, and we are excited about what that will look like
at Mizzou.
We look forward to continuing to work with Ann Riley to envision the library of the future.
And new facilities for the School of Music will provide space for the creativity of our
students and faculty who compose, perform and study music.
As we re-envision MU Extension and Engagement, Marshall Stewart is reorganizing our structure.
This will enable us to leverage connections, research and knowledge across Missouri, recommit
to community-based local and regional roots, and collaborate with rural and urban communities
on economic development issues specifically.
We are calling it All Things Missouri.
Extension is strengthening its data mapping and reporting system to better determine community
needs based on demographic data.
A University Impact web site is being developed to bring valuable knowledge and resources
directly to communities.
So all of these things we describe come together to benefit Missourians and the world in a
way that only a public research and land grant university can provide.
It takes being engaged, it takes thought leadership, it takes a determined work ethic.
It means taking chances and thinking outside the box.
That sounds a lot like Mizzou to me.
Earlier I described the concept of Mizzou Innovates - a way of bringing together
the heads of all of the people here at Mizzou to solve challenges.
But it won't end with that.
We have a responsibility - indeed it is part of our mission -- to see these ideas move
forward to new companies, products and services that benefit society.
It will take all of us to do that.
Clearly, these challenges will require us to re-envision what we think of as economic
development at Mizzou.
It means public-private partnerships.
It means working with business and industry.
It means collaboration, and funding entrepreneurial activities.
I'm ready to join you in getting to work on this.
Today, I've shared some highlights that stand out to me around the research and creative
activities taking place here, as well as the powerful impact we have on economic development.
There are more great examples of this work taking place right now in each of our 13 schools
and colleges at MU and many of our business units as well.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to visit the student displays upstairs and talk with
the talented undergraduate and graduate students who are engaged in research and creative projects.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my speech this morning, it's our people who make Mizzou
exceptional.
It takes our faculty, staff and students working together to create this unique atmosphere
of exploration, curiosity, hard work and collaboration.
I want to take a minute to recognize our Deans for their leadership making sure this University
continues to provide the kind of educational experiences our students should expect from
an AAU, Land Grant, Research One university.
Deans, can you please stand? [ Applause ]
I'd also like to recognize Jonathan Curtright, who may not be here due to flu, and Marshall Stewart.
So Marshall, you will have to stand all by yourself.
[ Applause ]
Their vision and leadership has helped us continue to grow our ability to bring valuable
services and information to citizens across Missouri.
In my first seven months here, I've been so impressed by the incredible people on this
campus and things we are accomplishing together.
Let's never lose sight of the power of Tigers coming together to create something amazing
that benefits all of us.
Thank you.
[ Applause ]

What's up virgins, it's your boy Based Zeus, and today I'm gonna be teaching you
how to be photogenic AS FUCK so you can start raking in the Instagram likes and sliding
into all the instagram models DMs just like me.
And speaking of likes, be sure to smash that like button, if not, I'll smash your girl,
hashtag Based.
#1 DON'T ... lean back or away from the camera
You know what I'm talking about, when young guys take pictures, they almost immediately
tilt their head backwards and shy away from the camera.
Doing this immediately messes up the structure of your jawline in your pictures and it makes
you look like you have a double chin.
It's almost an instinct to shy away from the camera and pull your head back, as if
you're trying to hide from the camera to hide your ugliness but fuck that.
You're subscribed to this channel so you already know that looks aren't all that
important if you have solid game and a great personality!
Plus, if you're ugly, then I have videos on how to get girls if you're ugly anyway
- which I'll have linked on the screen right now - so being ugly isn't an issue for you
anymore..
Instead of leaning away from the camera …
#2 DO … lean your head forward and jut your chin outward.
Now if you're watching this video and trying it right now like I know you are, you're
probably thinking no way this shit feels so unnatural and awkward, I'm gonna come out
looking like a giraffe in my pictures.
But trust me, jutting your chin forward in pictures is the EASIEST way to create a sharper
jawline and make your face look a lot more structured in your pictures.
Look at all these pictures, all these guys are looking snacky as fuck because they're
all jutting their chin outwards and it's making their jawline look fucking fire.
Leaning it forward creates more separation from your neck so you avoid looking like you
have a double chin and it makes your facial structure more pronounced.
You're welcome.
#3 DO … use your tongue to make your jawline look stronger.
Sounds crazy right?
But if you force your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and breathe through your nose,
you'll feel your jawline tighten up and look a lot more defined and structured.
Try it now in front of the mirror and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You're welcome.
#4 DO … make your skin look smoother.
Oh fuck wait I just said two Do's in a row, instead of a Don't.
Fuck it, I'm only doing one take.
You can have all the photography knowledge in the world but if your skin is rough and
bumpy and you have red spots all over, it's gonna show up in your photos and ruin your
entire look.
Plus, a lot of Instagram filters actually make bad skin look even worse because they
increase the Contrast on the photo which brings out any discrepancies like that.
If you want to make sure your face is on point and looking dope, I recommend you check out
Tiege Hanley, who I got to sponsor today's video.
If you wanna have your best face possible, then use Tiege Hanley, it's simple.
Tiege takes all the guesswork and complicated shit out of taking care of your skin, it's
uncomplicated skin care for men, and the price is ridiculous!
When you get your package it comes with instructions on exactly how much and when to use each product.
They have 3 different levels, their level 1 kit comes with a face wash, an exfoliating
scrub to keep your face glowing, and an AM and PM moisturizer for morning and night.
If you wanna step it up then level 2 comes with an anti-aging eye cream which gets rid
of puffiness and dark circles from under your eyes.
Your eyes are a huge aspect of looking good in pictures and Tiege's eye cream has caffeine
in it to make the skin around your eyes firmer and make sure you're as awake as your morning
coffee makes you feel because if your eyes look tired and all fucked up, then your whole
face will be off.
And if your whole face is off then Tiege hooks it up with their level 3 system which also
includes the eye cream AND an anti aging firming super serum that's packed with vitamins
and antioxidants to tighten up your face and make it look soft and as Alpha would say,
DYNAMITE.
And the best part, if you rub Tiege Hanley on your photos, you'll look more photogenic!
I'll have a link and discount code in the description for you guys to check out.
#5 DON'T … do basic ass poses.
Yeah I'm looking at you, teenage boys.
Wait what?
no no, not like that!
Not in a creepy way with Chris Hansen about to emerge.
You know when guys take pictures together and they all do that stupid pose with their
hands in front?
Yeah please, for Zeus's sake don't do that.
It makes your picture indistinguishable from all the other basic dudes posing like that
on Instagram AND it doesn't even make you look your best because it hides your posture
and makes you look like a clone next to all the other people you're standing next to.
Instead go for tip #5.
#6 DO … figure out what poses work best for you.
Now I'm into photography and I've noticed that most of the time when I photograph people
that they look best when looking directly into the camera as opposed to away from it,
but looking away from it is a good option as well.
It's just about experimenting with a bunch of different pictures and poses and seeing
what works best for you.
Get yourself a little tripod and use the timer on your camera to take some pictures of yourself
in a bunch of different poses.
Then look at em and see which ones you look good in and which ones you don't look good
in.
That way, next time you're with friends and you guys are taking pics, it removes all
the guesswork because you already KNOW your best poses and you can jump right into em.
Trust me, literally EVERY hot girl or guy on Instagram knows exactly what their best
angles are.
#7 DON'T … Take pictures with shitty lighting.
Lighting is also important.
You don't want the light below you because it makes your face look fucked up.
And if you're posing with your shirt off, you want the light right above you and slightly
in front, because it highlights your body and makes you look a lot more defined.
I'm not exaggerating when I say you can look like you just dropped 10% body fat just
by altering the lighting in your pictures.
Play around with it and figure out what works best for you.
And that's it.
If you liked this video be sure to drop a like and subscribe to my channel for instant
clout, ALSO be sure to check the link in my description for a badass discount on Tiege
Hanley the only uncomplicated skincare system for men.
Zeus out.

Things to remember after chemoradiation for your brain tumour is over - Duration: 9:48.
So today's appointment is sort of a check-in to see how you're doing. See if
we can help with some of the symptoms you're having and also to talk to you
about what's coming next. You're about halfway through your treatment now.
You've got about three more weeks of the chemo and radiation to go and one of the
most important things to know is that you have to have enough chemo pills to
get you to that last day of radiation. So if you could go home and count up your
pills. Make sure you have enough to get to that last day. If you're missing any
because there might have been a holiday in there at some point, just give me a
call. Just leave a message on my voicemail and say I need one extra day, I
need two extra days. Whatever it is. I put it in electronically to the pharmacy and
then you can pick it up in a day or two. Things to remember. The radiation and the
chemotherapy end on the same day. It's important that you have enough
chemotherapy pills to get to that last day of radiation. If you count up your
pills and find that you're short, please call the CNS nurse practitioner and she
can prescribe an additional amount of pills for you. You'll be asked to go to
the Odette lab every week until you finish your radiation treatment. The CNS
nurse practitioner will follow along with the labs and call you if there are
any concerns. So once you finish your treatment there's gonna be a break. Both
things stop in the same day and then you have about a six to eight week break of
no appointments, no treatments. So it's what I call your rest and recovery time.
So this is the time that you actually start to feel your worst and people
don't understand that because you're done with the radiation and you think
okay I'm done with my treatment I'm going to start feeling better. But
actually the effects of the radiation peak about a month after the radiation
is done. So that's when you start to feel more tired. That's when things get more
difficult in terms of thoughts, memories, movement. Everything just slows down a
little bit. It is similar to having a concussion because all of the radiation
causes swelling in the brain, similar to a concussion having
some pressure on your brain. So that's one of the reasons we use the steroids
because the steroids reduce some of that swelling and make you feel a little bit more like
yourself. A little brighter and more alert. The effects of the radiation peak
about a month after the radiation is finished. You might feel more tired or
more confused. You might have more difficulty doing your own daily routines
like your personal care. You also might have difficulty with your memory, your
thinking or your speech. Sometimes you can have more headaches as well. This is
all very normal and part of the expected effects of the radiation and
chemotherapy treatment. Over time it will get better on its own. Now might not be a
good time to take a vacation then? Yeah, unfortunately a lot of people think
because I've got this break this window of time without treatment it might be a
good time to go away. You're gonna be pretty tired during that time. It's not a
recommended time to go on a big vacation, because we know that you'll be tired we
know that things will be difficult for you. There potentially could be some
more difficult times where you require hospitalization. It's unusual but
it may happen. So to be far away from home isn't a great idea at that point. So
if you're at home during this break and you're really finding that things are
difficult or having trouble getting up in the morning or having trouble getting
yourself dressed and bathed and getting to the toilet, just give me a call. We
can make a referral to a homecare agency like CCAC and we can maybe get some
people into the house that might be able to help you with some of your physical
care. If you or your family are concerned about how you're managing at home or
you're becoming so sleepy you can't get out of bed or getting very confused,
please call the CNS nurse practitioner to report your symptoms. Sometimes it can
be managed easily by increasing your steroid dose. Sometimes you may need
services in the home to help you with your care. You can call the nurse
practitioner or the social worker with the CNS team to discuss the symptoms and
we can make a referral to a home care service such as CCAC.
So what will happen after the 6 to 8 weeks? What's the step after that?
Once you're finished, once you have that rest and recovery time, then you're gonna have
an MRI which I'm going to ask for today but it takes about a month to book so
someone will be calling you with that appointment and then you'll have within
a week you'll have an appointment with your neuro oncologist and then we'll
talk about what the next steps are going to be. One of the things that people
really worry about is that MRI and what it's going to show. A lot of times
that MRI is still reflective of a lot of swelling in the brain from the radiation
so it's not that clear from that scan what's happening. What we really go by is
how you're feeling. So if you're feeling better, your energy and your
strength are coming back, and you're feeling more like yourself, we're likely
just going to go ahead with the next phase of treatment even regardless of
what that MRI shows. So I'm not a hundred percent sure I'm going to be here for
the MRI. I'm gonna try really hard. Would it be okay for him to come on his own?
That's actually an appointment that
would be important for you to bring somebody with you, because you'll get a
lot of information that day about the scan results as well as what the next
treatment plan is going to be so I think it would be really important that
someone be with you to kind of be your second set of ears for that
appointment. At the follow-up appointment with a neuro-oncologist
we'll check in to see how you're doing and see if it's appropriate to continue
with chemotherapy. If so we'll prescribe the same medication, the Temozolomide,
but instead of taking it every day like you do with the radiation, you'll take it
five days a month like a Monday through Friday. Each month you'll come to the
cancer center, you'll have blood drawn, you'll see either the nurse practitioner
or the neuro-oncologist and we'll prescribe medication for you. You go home
and take it and a month later you come back and we do this again. We do this six
months in a row, following along with MRIs every other month.
Another thing I wanted to bring up was a concept called advanced care planning.
It's an initiative we have in the hospital here at Sunnybrook. It's
something I talk to all of my patients about so I don't want you to feel that
I'm signaling you out for any reason. Advance care planning is an opportunity
for you to think about the future and a time when you may not be able to make
decisions for yourself - medical decisions for yourself - and thinking about somebody
who can make those decisions on your behalf.
That person we call a substitute decision-maker
and that's the person who if you're not able to make a medical decision would do
that for you. What's really important about that substitute decision-maker is
usually it's a family member a spouse or a son or daughter or parent but what's
important is that they really understand what your goals and values are for your
medical care. That's something they would only know by having conversations
with you and really understanding. A lot of times couples come in and they say
we've had that conversation we know what we would do for each other but most
people to be honest don't talk about that. So what I'd like to do is give you
a workbook that kind of helps you to have some conversations. The work book
talks about advanced care planning talks about what the concept is and what
the goals are and what I liked about this workbook is in the back it has a
little section that prompts a conversation between you and your
substitute decision-maker that helps to bring out what some of your goals and
values are for your care going forward. So what's really important is that your
substitute decision-maker understands what you want to be done and they feel
like they're able to do right by you so it's really important to have these
conversations. It's not something you have to do right away, it's not an urgent
situation, but over the course of the next few months it's something to start
thinking about. It's also something we'll help you with so as we go forward if you
have some conversations and questions come up please feel free to
come back and talk to me about them and we can go through it together. This
is an ongoing conversation that we'll be having
with you over time. I gave you this the first time I
met you - this little care map of where we're going. Right now we're on step 4
this nurse practitioner appointment and step 5 is getting the weekly blood work
which you've started today, you had your blood work before you came
in to see me and then you'll do it each week until you're done with your
radiation. You should have an end date for your chemo and radiation and again
making sure that you have enough of the chemo pills to get you there and then as
I said about six to eight weeks later you'll have your MRI and your follow-up
appointment with the neuro-oncologist. My name and phone number are in the back
here any questions that come up please feel free to call me. Anything about
appointments you can call this number here. We're
here to help you and your family through this difficult time
please feel free to reach out to the nurse practitioner or the nurse line
whenever you have a question or concern.

For My Kids!! My New Weekly Series! - Duration: 4:18.
Hey everybody!
What's going on?
This is going to be something a little bit different.
I'm hoping to do this maybe once a week but, how this came about is it was an idea.
It was an idea so...
I have kids right?
And I think as I'm looking at my life right now, my father is terminally ill and I think
with... and he raised me, I had a single father that raised me so (let me bring that down)
There's a lot of stuff I think, especially with father and sons but I think with children
in general, their fathers, they know a lot about them, of course there's love and affection
that's there for the dad but the dad doesn't always... because there's a relationship there,
a different type of relationship, not all things are said that probably need to be said.
The children don't really know the deeper stuff, and it's usually not conversations
that are had, and you know, I would say that even with my own father so I wanted to start
doing something about once a week, and it's sort of something for my kids.
It's gonna be for my kids.
Why?
This is my Facebook page and you know, The Real Estate Blitz is something that I do because
I like doing it, but this is still my page and even my own oldest son, he likes watching
the videos so I think this is a good place to house some content information and you
know, I guess as I do this through the years, especially if I do it every week, when my
children are old enough, if they ever get interested or something, god-willing doesn't,
if something awful happens to me at least they'll have some type of... something from
me.
From me personally to them.
So I'm going to start doing something once a week, just for my kids.
I don't know what I'm gonna call it but I'll probably call it "For My Kids!" right?
And then I'll put it in a separate subfolder and you know, one day maybe they'll watch
and I think it'll be kind of cool as they'll be able to see the progression of who I am
as a person, as a father, as a husband, as a business owner, they'll be able to kind
of see you know, here it is, I'm in my 40s you know, one day I'll be in my 50s, one day
I'll be in my 60s and they'll be able to kind of watch that progression, my change physically,
emotionally, spiritually, mentally, all through video which is kind of cool.
I also think that you know, right now they're very young so hopefully you know, when they
get older, if they start finding interest, these are a little...
I don't know, I guess maybe life lessons that I could create for them that's outside of
our relationship at that moment.
And maybe even talk a little bit deeper about who I am as a person, what I've experienced,
what I've been through and talk about their history, their past you know, where did they
come from?
You know, their grandparents, their great-grandparents, you know our families.
What did we experience?
So, I'm going to be doing that.
I'll be doing it once a week.
I'll be doing it for my kids.
You'll get to watch by de facto, by you know, just because you watch The Blitz but this
isn't going to be part of my daily.
I'll be posting this up probably in the late afternoons, maybe early evenings, and I'm
doing it because uh...
I don't know.
It's something that I've really been thinking about for a while, I think... it would just
be nice to have it like a series of things that just for them, one day that they could
just connect with, or not I don't know.
So maybe it's like my own little biography as I grow.
But I'm gonna be posting those up probably every...
every Wednesday?
Because every Friday I'm going to be doing an interview so maybe every Wednesday in the
afternoon on top of my dailies I'll be posting this up, but that's... it's all I got!
Just want to let you all know so it wasn't like a big shock when you started seeing stuff.
Alright, so it's gonna be the series "For My Kids!"
Alright have a good one, bye.

Board of Education Work Session for Feb. 12, 2017 - Duration: 1:00:06.
llike to welcome everybody to our work session this afternoon and I appreciate
everybody coming early so we get the work session and I think a lot of
important items on the agenda for this afternoon and I was out of town last
week and I appreciate us rescheduling this so that we could get it in and I
really wanted to be here for the discussion on the budget and calendar
and all the important items is gonna be discussed today
this time we'll looks like we've got miss Gardner on first so we'll have to go
ahead and get started chairman Francis and members of the
board miss Francis and mr. Buchanan will be presenting their budgets respectively
and then I will follow alright with the local current expense
okay okay we have a increase in our budget by five thousand four hundred and
ninety two dollars for this coming school year on the right I have a column
showing the differences between last year's budget and this year's budget the
increases and salaries are projected based on a two percent increase as a
guesstimate from Angie for what the state may do and there will be increases
on there's an increase for our membership dues and fees line by $100
now that Melanie's here we've got a few more membership dues so security was
increased as well as retirement and medical insurance and the rest of the
columns have either gone down or stayed the same I don't have any questions for
Ms. Allison about the budget
thank you to appreciate the hard work and getting it all put together I know
it takes a lot of time to do that pardon me I can't hear you
there's a fifty thousand dollar grant that's additional is that an additional
grant that is fifty thousand those USDA grants are are is the reimbursement we
received from the federal government and we're anticipating that going up by
fifty thousand dollars based on the increase in reimbursement rates and the
increase in with their CEP schools our numbers of free and reduced interest
rates if my interest rates reimbursement has increased this year
actually not really a grant it's the reimbursement yes that's why they're
labeled from the government I'd say so Miss Frances are you are the sale of
ones full paid so are you looking for that to go down by $18,000 I mean are we
expected nobody to buy lunch no there's a lot of changes in categories with the
change of North Canton and Clyde and central Haywood going to CEP schools
those kids that were normally in the for in the paid category have moved to the
free the free category so there's been a change there okay
just a reminder for mr. Burnett if you're a CEP school although and Allison
can can address this much better than I can but since you're new a CEP school
means every child can eat breakfast and lunch free they don't have to fill out
those friend reduced lunch and we've got three schools that participate in that
right now North Canton Clyde and central Haywood High School qualify for that
program
any other questions or comments on the child nutrition now we're gonna have to
go up again this year we will I don't have my formula yet from the state to
determine if that'll be five or ten cents but it will have to go up now I'm
sure that's in here yes sir all right guess next is capital outlay Joe
you should have a packet with a spreadsheet on it listed proposed
expenditures for our capital budget of 1819 in column two I've got the projects
listed whether it's HVAC GM renovation access control those top three are a
little different than what our regular capital budget is but I wanted to
include them because they are in capital improvements the first one the HVAC
central heating and air for Bethel middle school gym we have approval for
that project from the school board and from the county commissioners were
waiting on DPI approval of that project to use lottery funds the second
one the gym renovation central Haywood high we have approval from the
commissioners on that and we're getting ready to put it out to bid probably
receive bids in March on that one using local fund balance and the third one
there the access control this is the follow-up to the project we've done at
North Canton a little over a year ago to put access control on exterior doors
this one we're going to implement it at central Haywood high in the IT
department with a cost of approximately 55,000
and use ADM funds for that and then the following is the list of items that I'd
like to have projects done in the next school year and I've got those listed
I'll let you look over those if you've got any questions and just to clarify
the buildings and grounds committee members are probably aware of this but
for everyone else where we have local fund balance designated that is not our
local fund balance the county has sales tax revenues that have come in over the
sales tax revenues have increased over the last couple of years and our debt
service has decreased so they've got a few hundred thousand dollars sitting up
there and so when we're talking about some balance we're actually talking
about it is still designated for public schools but it is at the county level
and just wanted to clarify that and again another buildings and grounds
committee members are aware of that debt services are twenty eight million dollar
bond it's sorted by 2027 one thing you've mentioned Joe you said 75 I mean
55 ATM balance on the central haywood we're showing 75 on here the balance and
75 the projects is it going to be about 55
any other questions on the capital outlay budget proposed budget an
excavator we buy an excavator I'm looking to replace the one that we have
it is over twenty year old talking about like a track hoe yes yeah is it just a
small one or you medium size how about a 12,000 pound machine any other
questions
all right Miss Angie will go with the current expense budget you have two
versions of the budget in your package and each version has two sections so
sure if I'm presenting one budget - but your could be four budgets depending on
how you want to look at it but we will cover the things the first section in
each budget is what our current budget is and just what we anticipate mandated
salary and benefit increases to be for this year and then the second section of
each of the budgets one is the HB 13 version and one is HB 90 version and
we'll and we'll talk about those when we get down into that section so I think on
version 1 section 2 begins on page 11 and on version 2 section 2 begins on
page 12 so we'll begin with the first 10 or 11 12 pages we used for budget
assumptions this year we use 3 percent salary increase our retirement rate and
hospitalization rate we started out with 18% and 6100 for insurance we got
confirmation last week from dpi that that is there about 99 percent sure that
is going to be eighteen point four four percent matching retirement and 6104 for
insurance so I went back and recalculated on both of those in the
little green box I noticed I did not change the hospitalization from 6100 to
6104 but I did use 6104 the retirement rate is an increase of one point three
one percent over this year we are currently paying seventeen point one
three percent matching and as you'll recall we pay that for every dollar paid
to our employees that receive benefits and to receive benefits you have to work
six hours or more same thing for hospitalization rate the annual cost for
our employees receiving benefits at six hours or more is 6104 that's up 235
dollars from this year the current rate this year's 5,869
on both of your budgets in the far left-hand corner you'll see the lines
are numbered in blue on line 392 you'll see that we are increasing just from
projected salary and benefit increases we are anticipating an increase of four
hundred twenty three thousand eight hundred seven dollars and that breaks
down to one hundred thirty one thousand five hundred forty-one dollars
represents the projected three percent salary increase on a hundred one hundred
forty six locally budgeted positions the increase in benefits which includes FICA
retirement and insurance 166 thousand four hundred ninety dollars so our
projected or using our budget assumptions we were anticipating an
increase of 298,000 on salary and benefits which is similar to last year
our actual 1718 salary benefits were around one hundred ninety five thousand
dollars when we got the actual thousand dollar when we were sitting last fall
another lines one eighty nine thru one ninety two those lines collectively show
an increase of 76210 dollars and this is to make way for if you'll recall when we
closed central elementary school that gave us the principal months of
employment on the state side for two years so we currently have two hundred
and sixty-five months of employment that we get from this state out of that we
pay one hundred and eighty months for principals that's twelve months for our
fifteen principals leaving us with 85 months to pay for assistant
principals we have twelve assistant principals we use state oh oh five months
of employment we have one budgeted locally and we pay the
meaning one's out of state 69 so next year we will only have 73 months to pay
those additional APs and so this is just giving us a little bit you know if we
have to wind up paying all 12 months out of the local budget it's in the budget
we don't have our state planning allotments for next year yet there may
be a possibility that we could pick up two or three or four months out of our
state 69 but you know right at this point we're planning on the possibility
of absorbing those twelve months of employment any questions on that that
was 772 76 76000
okay the next line that you'll see that we've increased making up that 423,000
is line 265 and that's our transfer to charter schools we're anticipating a
transfer to charter increasing by forty nine thousand five sixty five and the
way we arrived at that number is we currently have about four hundred twenty
five brick-and-mortar charter students our local charter will be rolling off
their eighth grade there's about thirty to thirty three students there I'm
making an assumption that they could pick up they a they could max out their
kindergarten allotment which would be about give us about fifteen more
students so that Inc that forty nine thousand increase allows for fifteen at
our County appropriation of 2107 plus an increase of forty two dollars or about
forty one forty two dollars of the other for two hundred twenty five students
were paying now we currently pay out two thousand one hundred sixteen dollars and
that is made up of our county appropriation plus about fifty dollars
per child for fines and forfeitures if you'll recall they we have to make sure
they get their proportionate share so next year we're anticipating with fines
and forfeitures and county appropriation that will pay two thousand one 57 per
student any questions on that
is there has nothing to the budget there superintendent they hired just recently and
plan on going on that to high school I think that was the plan I think probably we
will see that based on what it's been reported that comes to fruition we may
that may affect that number worse yes sir I'll get on a negative way you can
see we're kind of settling down last year we appropriated an additional one
hundred one hundred nine thousand for transfer charters now it's 49 so you
know we're kind of starting to lineal in to what those wrote those numbers look
like very good where there are other changes in the first section that have a
zero net effect the first one is two additional painter positions in the
maintenance department with projecting those each of those positions to be paid
twenty-five thousand and the benefits lines 108 through one eleven and note
these are broken out from the 22 maintenance positions already budgeted
so you can see them separately but lines 108 through one 11 total 75 thousand 253
and then there are several lines that we are decreasing to offset that cost they
are and I'll go slowly if you want to write this down or look at them lines 84
85
ninety-two line 125 and it was $2,500 of that line that line is being decreased
by 5,000 then we're going to use 2500 to offset the cost of two painters line 127
line 131 line 137 and line 140 those offsets totaled 75 thousand 253
additionally you'll see on line 114 HVAC controls there's a decrease there an
increase to line 115 water and sewer repair that nets to 0 line 125 Pest
Control's we're decreasing by 5,000 2,500 is being applied to the - painter
positions and the other 2,500 is going to line 126 increase in uniforms line
344 341 technology supplies and materials decreasing and increasing to
line 338 cell phone reimbursements any questions on those zero net effect items
any questions on version want your version one budget online 393 and 394
this is if HP 13 stays as it as is we're making preparations to hire possibly 32
more teachers so we've in that projection at 1.6 million dollars if
that is our budget the total budget needs for 2018-19
is 19 million 107 710 under those conditions we will be appropriating a
total of 2.2 million six hundred sixty-eight thousand eight hundred and
forty-seven dollars from fund balance where we are projecting an increase in
county appropriation of four hundred forty two thousand six eighty six the
last page you'll see a slight increase in fines and forfeitures that's based on
last year's actuals and how we're kind of pacing this year same thing for ABC
revenue but we're hoping for version two so let's look at that
it's supposed to vote on more and I don't know whether the governor's gonna
sign it or not there's some debate on whether he was going to veto yeah I
think there were some things other things in that on version 2 beginning on
page 12 you will see beginning on line 393 the principal Department requests
that we discussed I think at the January work session and at the board's request
dr. Garrett has ranked those in order of importance you'll see those going down
through there those total to three hundred and ninety four thousand to
thirty eight that budget needs wouldn't that this version would make our budget
needs at seventeen million nine hundred two thousand three eighty one all of the
revenues remain the same with the exception that obviously we would not be
appropriating the same amount of fund balance we would appropriate 1 million
four hundred sixty three thousand five hundred eighteen dollars
are there any questions
now we are not approving this tonight yes sir the the public hearing is they
have to have the public hearing right they prove it and that's scheduled for
March 12th
stay home legislature so the stuff from 1-3 392 to 405 those are the requests
but for now we're not going to decide whether to implement or take out older
tonight
it was one day
that's what I didn't hear I'm one of them and and you can see where it's
placed I like it was number nine wasn't it start of the biology I see okay
a little behind I couldn't get my Moodle yesterday huh
well that's reason we got some time I mean we got another comment coming up
and so we got some time look at it miss Angie line 103 my pocketbook ready mr.
Kirkpatrick you saw that one oh yield trades yes those are the our maintenance
department positions we have 22 budgeted and that would just be the anticipated
3% increase in pay that's why we broke those down those two painter positions
we put them below there so that didn't get kind of so it's very distinctly just
the initial pay that works better okay
we ever implemented anything on this as far as you know we've had discussion on it
before so yeah maintenance worker gets another certification in another trade
these gets you more highly experienced in a certain division or trader it's
really you know we have we have talked about that and if you'll recall and I
know y'all approve a lot of things and it's been a long time since last fall
but we do still have the salary study out there we're hoping to get a draft
version of that at the end of this week possibly early next week
that gives us a market compare market comparisons as well as other lea
comparisons oh we will I knew it's been working I just it's a
while things going through this mind since then so forget things understand
thank you
now the let's see
is the Coaching supplement let's see is that that just carries from line 300
correct I guess I'm looking at more which one do you want me to look at I'm
looking at 2 so that's just a regular that's just to allow a little
bit of retirement increase it's not the full increase on that full dollar
coaching supplement because as you're aware we have non-employee coaches that
we would not be paying correct time again I've seen one more thing just told
them trying to stick with this
I look at this every year and I guess sometimes you just catch things Pisgah
baseball field $12,000 rent it's that's the that's the
least that we post Wales okay plus we also have to pay the taxes taxes
thank the band uniform till we decide if I were going to be more we've talked
about that about that that doesn't have to be a part of this it all need to be
next year I don't I don't think he's gonna be ready to order band uniforms
this year but in next year's when we get ready to do our the audit the auditors
come down ask how much we want to set a sign for band uniforms and so between
sometime between now and the fall we'll need to the board will need to decide if
we're going to do ten thousand a year for eight years or if you want to
increase that to twelve or fifteen thousand and we might um mr. Clark it
might be a good idea once we see what this year's cost comes in at make a I
don't know if that would help us know what they're gonna cost it eight years
from now no you're right a percentage I mean from the last time right kind of
guesstimate it then I had ten percent it be
would mention there's a line 266 you'll see that is in red 800 for many many
years we've used 48 for that program safe and drug-free schools because that
was a federal grant but now the state is using a 48 to pay bonuses to fourth
through eighth grade teachers so going into 1819 we're not going to use go 48
because we don't want that to if people just kind of pick up those local numbers
your local budget if you're using the same numbers that the state uses it
should try to mirror so we're changing that but that's no change in budget it's
just a slight program change
we did we ever separate that $3,000 that we're sending to the school board did
yes sir let me find that for you line 29 and 30 129 30 sir 29 and 30 first
page we need 30 29 is your membership in NC SBA and the next line I'm down is the
back okay that's what else
any more questions on the budget I'm sure if you find something you have
a question on yes you call them is Gardner and dr. Garrett and I'm sure
they'll have an answer for you we can discuss it
ya'll want to move on to the calendar you wanna yep
well I'm sorry dr. Garrett HEC okay on March 28th 2017 if
you'll recall we had a joint meeting with Haywood Community College at their
site it was their board members and our board members and at that time we
discussed the early college and the need to do some expansion or the need to do
something with that building up there because it was so obsolete both boards
indicated that there was a need and then in October the 11th dr. Parker and
others from the Community College and mr. Francis Joe Buchanan Jeff Haney
Angie Ira Dove Kirkpatrick Julie Davis and I met and we discussed the
enrollment and the possibility of you know how that would look if we extended
to the open enrollment there was a need to expand they have asked Haywood County
Schools to place the building in our budget and at this time I met with them
on January 22nd dr. Parker myself and mr. Kirkpatrick
and at that time we were asked to submit a proposal in our budget for the new
building the estimate was three and a half million to five and a half million
February the 7th mr. Kirkpatrick actually toured the campus to kind of
see what you know what the classrooms look like and to see the size of them
there is a need for additional space there but but is that a line item that
we want to include in our budget we can't use lottery funds for it because
you know it doesn't belong to us and you know we definitely support continuing
our partnership with the Community College with the early college but is
that something that you want to added to the budget is the question that we have
been asked mr. Kirkpatrick said that you know we need to indicate in our budget
my indication would be that we fully support the Community College and we
fully supported the early college but where would we possibly get the funds to
pay for that
only at this time from what I can gather they're still not for sure what they're
gonna do up there I mean yeah three other building needs renovating or do
they build another building or do they do this I do agree with you there is a
great need early college building is that's pretty pretty tough facility to
be into but pretty tough when you have to walk through a room to get to another
room to get to you know the conditions that they're very small because you've
been in the facility I certainly would think that we would maybe in our opening
remarks or even in our the letter to for supporting the budget that we would put
somewhere in there in there that Haywood Community or Haywood County Schools
wishes to support Haywood Community College and expanding or constructing a
building for the Haywood early college but cannot place this in our budget at
this time set that along those lines because I mean they're great partners
with us we would not have as many opportunities if we did not have the
relationship I think we'd be amiss if we didn't mention that in our budget
statement well mr. Kirkpatrick said it was going to
be brought up when we had the work session mm-hmm I think it'd be wise to
put it in there not just some wording perhaps if you want to not draft that
and then I'll send it to to you perhaps to look at so that we can work out the
details would that be appropriate I think it probably needs to include
something about additional local funding because we even at three and a half
million dollars we don't we don't have that no it's gonna have to come through
some so I mean it would be make basically a request for the yeah we're
asking for three and a half to five and a half we would have anywhere else I
mean we using our fund bounce now just to float the system see I think the
Community College you know they're using their quarter cent sales tax to do the
300 building and so that depletes what they would have to and then they've got
the same condition that we have they can't do another bond for it for so many
years and say we can't do a bond until 2024 plus we couldn't do a bond on a
facility that we don't own that's right well so the money's got to come from the
county unless we have the ability to levy you tax no but I think we all agree with
support the concept I don't mind tell Kirk to get his check
book out I'll do that we'll be in our opening remark any questions about the
statement that I just made okay I agree with it needs to be in there we're gone I
mean we've met too much and we see the need and we know the need and to not
recognize that I think we would be missing an opportunity if it's a payout
over several years even yeah we don't have the money I mean it's obvious all
right miss calendar don't say that word
first page and I showed you the last time
schools shall not be held on Sunday
Thank You 11 Holliday a thousand 25 hours of instruction and in the
remaining days to be teacher workdays and then the closing date for students
is no later than Friday the Friday closest to June 11th this year it is
June 15th that is not the Friday closest to June 11th but they gave us that
waiver when we requested the waiver to start early so they gave us the Friday
following so here's where we are right now we've missed 10 days of school the
last day for students right now is on June 14th is there are there any
questions about any of that it's mighty late it is so in our weather makeup plan
what we have left are we have June 15th which would be called a NO day and it
would extend the year until June 15th we have Memorial Day which is right now an
annual leave day and then we go into spring break
what can we extend the day or have Saturday okay well said that's why I
so
going forward this is what we we've kind of come up with and see what you guys
think we'll continue with our weather plan of extending it till June 15th and
Memorial Day if we miss on a Monday Tuesday Wednesday call Saturday school
if we miss on a Thursday or Friday what we are going to ask is that you waive
that day call it an optional teacher work day so teachers still work but
waive it for students and waive up to a total of four days that's just to get us
through the weather month because we feel like we're probably
going to have some more snow and that's just to get us through and then maybe
once we review once we get through the weather the winter months we look at the
calendar again and you know we obviously want to leave spring break to the very
last thing that we have to do we set graduation dates I think students can't
go beyond the 15th would we be wise to go ahead and wave some days what we
looked at when we had a meeting I guess the last time it snowed really bad and
we were not in school we looked at several different options and thought
this was pretty good like if we can know that we had a calendar that we could
wave up to four days and that would give us a little bit of leeway but use those
first two days first which would extend to June the 15th and then if it does no
mean we used to have the ruling if it snowed Monday Tuesday Wednesday then we
could have a Saturday school from 8 into 1 now that's not the best scenario that
you can possibly have but at least you get some hours of instruction in and
then then after that start waving up to 4 days I will say this too on we there
were two half days scheduled one on March 30th and one on April the six and
we went ahead and made those full days to get those hours back in as well so we
took those before we but we're not short on hours in fact we exceed every every
year we exceed by you know 30 40 50 hours what we were concerned about was
actually missing seat time when you you know even if you wait four days at the
high school that's four 90-minute classes that I'm gonna be missing we've
only missed 13 and a half days of instruction hours sorry thirteen and a
half hours of instruction because we've made everything up or we
will make it up in June I just like that I I like that plan and we we met a
couple times and talked we don't want to give up instructional time unless it's
necessary and I think we unless it was just really bad we wouldn't want to give
up more in four or five days and I wouldn't want to waive those unless we
needed to and I was going to say turn my mic on but dr. Garrett said it we have
lots of people ask us about the hours we really don't need hours we have cleaning
people who had hours are folks who they add hours because they need them and we
don't see the general statute says 1025 hours or 185 days but we've not gone 185
days we've always come with 1025 and we always exceeded by lots of hours which
really I think when Todd and Jenny calculated it you could you could wave
up to 10 days but but would that be what's best first for students and
teachers we need to take action or do we just need to just agree that that's the
way we won't go or I think you need to agree and then put it on the agenda for
approval to take action that this because this is the weather plan right
now is this and you can see that waving days is not on the weather plans
Saturday school is on there but it just says Saturday school I become an
option when I other days are exhausted and we probably need to be more specific
about if it's a Monday Tuesday or Wednesday we'll have a Saturday school
if it's Thursday or Friday we can waive that day but I do want to say that if if
you do waive that day those four days remember that that two groups of
employees that are not going to get paid for those days
I'm going to add it to the agenda when we get to agenda adjustments okay
and just I'll be right with everybody will do it thing can we waive days
even without touching Spring Break yes that's what we're asking to do okay
we're asking Spring Break oh if we touch Spring Break they'll run us out of this
county my this is kind of the order so the first the next day would be
a no day and we'll extend it to June 15th then if we miss another day it'll
be a Memorial Day then if after that we'll start doing Saturday school when
we can when we can or waive the Thursday or Friday because you can't have
Saturday school if you miss on the Thursday or Friday and then wave up to a
total of four days and remember that's just to keep us at getting out at
June 15 that's just to keep us where we are now once we're done with the weather
we can look at the calendar again if you want to and then hopefully we don't miss
more than six more days and have to go into spring break because if at that
point we wouldn't have an option you have to let me ask you a question and
anticipation receiving the same question myself that's another way of saying
playing devil's advocate in this really the antithesis of what we've just done
on the future calendar it is exactly I mean it's the opposite argument all
right in the middle of the weather right now that's why you know on the
other calendar we said we will wave four days first before we before we start
tinkering with the schedule right
but I think with this if you go by the calendar itself I mean you would miss I
mean all we're doing is strictly going by the calendar what the recommendations
were and you're just adding this in as an extra at the end in case we get there
there's a real possibility yeah I think another difference is too is when next
year if we wave those four days upfront then we will have nine days after those
four to make up if you look at next year's calendar some of those are built
into the calendar and some of our workdays and the problem that we have
now is if we wave four that we've already missed we still don't have we
don't we only have two left and then we go into spring break or we have to wait
more than four so if we wave them now the ones we've already missed and say
that you know they're they're wave four people then if we miss another four days
if we miss five or six days we're in trouble I think the only other thing you
could do and we do not talk about this so probably shouldn't bring it up but
you know you could wave a day or two before the 15th or Memorial Day but
they're sitting there to be used and we knew going in that we might have to use
them I like the plan it may not be perfect but I like everything Saturday
school stuff well your attendance it's not good on Saturday it ranges 74 to 76
percent and you know you're getting you some contact hours in but isn't is it
the best method no and it's sort of like we talked about
before you know yeah you don't want to do Saturday school yeah just as soon as
you say we're not gonna do Saturday school we'll end up having to look at
well and at this point our choices our Saturday school or Spring Break so but
now I've gotten a lot of calls the last several weeks you know asking that we do
saturdays but it's hard to plan those Saturdays because you have dance you
have church groups you have all kinds of activities and that's why your
attendance is so much you have to miss one that week can't go six dates no I
think it's important to remember that if we do a Saturday school it's all that
same week so if you miss a Monday Tuesday Wednesday you're gonna make it
up on that same week you're not gonna make it up in June on a Saturday you're
gonna make it up of that same week what was the issue with it if you extended
the school day by thirty minutes something about people would be
working overtime after certain period of and I don't remember
yeah they would get then we get into overtime paying that would be you know
the hours are there so
trying to figure out if get another day out of doing it like that but I
think if we added Todd and I did look at this and I think we all agree that
probably add ten minutes to the beginning and 10 at the end is not
the most instructionally sound but you would have to go if you added twenty
minutes to each day you would have to go 19 days to make one day okay that's
that's where I was getting out of good remember what that formula was or the
timeline thank you and just to be redundant plus we don't
need that time I mean we're way past the thousand 25 we're just you know we're
trying to get days in hours you know without waving more than 4 and if
there's a blizzard then we'll just have to talk and pray and come up with
whatever we can come up with it almost makes you wonder move five to one
and leave everything the way they are see what I'm saying
Wave the next for that leaves you getting out of June 14 and you still
have Memorial Day what did you just did you say move five to one well because I
was actually thinking about moving five to at least move five to three I mean I
think you're five I think we need to start thinking about I know the
instructionals and everything else but we need to really start thinking about
your four days waving your four days and needs to be one of your closer options
besides taking more days away but that's my personal opinion I mean yeah I have a
vote so I mean well if you want to keep it like it that's fine but Saturday
school put it in priority school anyway Saturday schools is not worth a hoot a
main period you're you're not getting you're not gaining anything
except days besides that your instructional days they're not doing
nothing so I mean you're you're sort of just
doing nothing there yes I would like to see five moved up somewheres else
besides December 5 I'd agree with that move it to three before Saturday's good
with the caveat of we figured out how to take care of employees that are gonna
miss time for the next school yeah yeah we could do the same we could go ahead
and implement a little early I know it affects the budget so long but I think
y'all come up the really good plan there's no reason not to implement it if
needed which hopefully the move spring in a week or so and we're gonna be on
stead of moving five all the way up to three you can move just move three down
below five just move everything else up for if y'all wanna wave four days
tonight I'd move the next I'd let the next four be waived okay that's all though
I want to make sure okay what I just said is they would like put five it
to re and just swap places with three and five okay are you gonna waive the
next four days that we miss but now listen we do y'all need to discuss and
decide if that's what you want to do or not well I think what is the money your
the money that employees just I've told you what they is
told you they they told us that would work need to know if we could waive
wicked ways fifteen but if it's not workable then we can't do it yeah I
think a they've already told you what they want their won't one through
seven I just want to point one thing out for sort of so that we're all on the
same page if we if we were to do this once we do away with the no day on the
15th if we move those waving of days up in the calendar that works as long as we
just miss one day in a week but let's say that we have snow on Monday and on
Tuesday and Wednesday we're not going to have any choice at
that point after we call a Saturday school let's say on Monday the only
thing we're going to have left to do for Tuesday and Wednesday as to waive days
even if we don't have any days to waive there's nothing else you're going to be
you're not going to have the or or take spring break because you've already
extended yourself at that point to the 15th which is the farthest point we can
go in the school year and so at that point there's nothing else left to do
wave those days would take spring break once you've taken
everything else off the table just keep that just keep that in your
mind there's no margin at that point to play with with any other kind of days
well now you keep on talking about for days now let me let me get it in my head
a hundred and twenty five hours is all we have to do how this how the law is
it's a hundred and twenty five thousand twenty five minimum that's the men we
could still reach the hours because we've got plenty of day so we can sit
here talk about spring break how you want to if it comes down to it I am
going to waive ten days before I I'm sort of like mr. Larry over here
I'm going to wave ten days and get down to the hunt twenty five hours before I touch
spring break and then we will work it out how to pay we will work it out when
we cross that bridge the other problem is is you're you're putting a lot of
stress on your curriculum to in my mind issues start knocking days out and
that's instructional time you top ten in the state right now and you're gonna
just put more and more pressure on that time that you have in the classroom I
mean it's easy to say we're gonna throw days away but it's that's instructional
time that hopefully is quality time well and again let me state that's the
anthesis antithesis of what we just done for next year correct
we argued that too I'd leave it as you present it to read
my before well the one thing you can do is leave it like it was and then when we
hit when we take away Memorial Day we can reconvene know what if we're in a
snowstorm and we're having to miss the next day we can reach me you can still
reconvene you can call anybody on this board we can call in okay it's hard to
do it once now that we're right in the middle of it that's the that's the issue
next year we won't be whats gonna hold exactly we're just trying to
get us through the next
and I think this order and again we had two long discussions about five or six
of us a payroll HR making sure we were cutting people's contract time
transportation dr. Garrett Jenny myself I think we put it in this order because
we only have two days to play with and and if we waive the four first then and
we have five or six days of snow then we may have to wave more than four but we
we don't want to for instructional purposes we have those minimum hours but
we want more than minimum instruction if we can get them so I mean that's
the rationale for why we do so here's the original recommendation again
and we know from previous surveys that Saturday school and spring back are the
least favorite which is why we took Saturday out of the option for the last
few years and we haven't needed it because we only miss five days last year
and what we only had one two-hour delay but this year we're in a different boat
with ten days Saturday does save you a day even though we don't like Saturday
is still an instructional day even if you only get 70% and for the record many
of us have been praying for no more snow yes
just for the record sincere prayer as Todd said this morning a like rain well
I know you have done I mean you've done your homework I mean just like I said I
mean it it's just a personal opinion of mine by me I know you all have done your
homework and sometimes everybody looks at things different and that's reason
we're the way we are but I mean at this point I suggest we present that calendar
as this plan right here yeah and then we'll vote on it and if we vote against
it then we'll have an alternate plan B we'll do what mr. Rogers was talking
about and we'll vote on it it'll be a decision made and we can you know review
we can review it anytime you want your bet that's kind of like Stephen said if
we get Memorial Day and the 15th in there then we made after reconvene and
okay after 48 hours and notice ya
Saturday make them goto school thank you I mean that like I said I won't I want to
say thank you for at least doing it because I know it does a lot of time
trust me I's on the calendar committee and I'm glad somebody else's on it now
next year with next year's calendar if we have this same issue so at this point
if we were in next year's calendar right now we would only have started making up
our second day we would the end of the school year would only
have moved two days so we would so be good of course that's a lot of
instructional time there's no easy answer especially when you're right in
the middle of the weather
so we'll presume I'll present this that's why I mean will vote on okay then
we're making sugestions not telling us what to do that's my suggestion that's good if
we don't like it we can vote it down and come at it again now I guess we're done
with the work session so now I guess we'll go into our building and grounds
and Finance Committee
