And welcome to this week's edition of Business in Hawaii. I'm Byron Riddle, and we are broadcasting live from Think Tech Studios in downtown Honolulu. If you want to tune in, we are at www.thinktechhawaii.com. You may also subscribe to our programs and get on our mailing list at that site as well. The theme of business in Hawaii is to share with you stories of local businesses by local people. Our guests share with us their journey to building a successful business right here at home. And with us today is Brianna Groesch of International Marketplace. Aloha, and thank you for having me down here today. I'm so excited to share with you what we've been doing since we've opened three years ago and kind of talk about our future at International Marketplace. Well, that's great. But let's go back a little bit and let's start with you. Why don't you tell us some stuff about you, Brianna? Yeah, well, currently, for the past two months, I'm the new general manager of International Marketplace. I'm so honored and privileged to have this position. Congratulations. Thank you. I started at the center three and a half years ago myself, actually on the construction team. So overseeing some of our construction cleaning, as well as some of our cultural elements, installing our statues, working with the local artists, to make sure that we were placing these statues on property appropriately and to their best wishes. So just a whole, and then also in between that, went to marketing. So ops, creative, marketing, and then back to ops again. So I'm just so fortunate that I've had this long career, if you will. I mean, it's been three and a half years, but this career with the center, and I've seen it grow from the ground up. And it's such a wonderful story to tell the past, to the present, and to the future. So let's back up a little further. What brought you to Hawaii initially? Yeah, so it was through work. Ironically, I have a degree in human biology. I was pre-med. One of my first jobs on Ireland before I went in my field, I was working as a waitress. Loved it. It's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I was working on Alamo on a boulevard at Goofy's Restaurant.  It was so much fun. But I was waiting to get my career here started, and the first job was a medical device sales rep. So I was doing that, still kind of in the health care, decided not to go to med school, and just meeting all the people that I met here, and all the different industries people were in. I love tourism. I love connection, and meeting people, and also sharing the stories that I've learned living in Hawaii. And I wanted to perpetuate that forward. So that's kind of how I started getting associated with tourism by way of Bennett Group, a local PR firm, and strategic communications firm. Again, I was fortunate that I had a breadth of clients in all different industries, and just able to see what they were doing, and kind of that started again. Like, hmm, I'm going to go explore this further. And then, like I said, I started with Bennett Group, and then I knew I wanted to go in-house with a company, and I decided to go with International Marketplace. So when you were on property, then you were actually with Toplin. Yes, I was. Yeah, and Bennett Group did have the International Marketplace account, and so it was kind of a little looked at it a little bit. I think that's how I met you originally. It was one of Michael Finley's talking events, and I think that's what we met. Yeah, he was our former general manager. But yeah, it's just been, I was with Bennett Group. We did the PR, and we oversaw the topping off ceremony, so placing the last piece of steel on the center. My name is signed on it. So it's just personally and professionally, my Hawaii career is tied to the center. That's fantastic. Let's go back a little bit. Let's cover some of the origins of the International Marketplace and come up to where we are today. So if you would. Yeah. Well, I'm sure as you know, since 1957, the center has just been this attraction and destination for Kama Aina and visitors to come, shop, eat, and dine, and take a load off. We all have maybe stressful days or whatnot. It's like just, we wanted it to always be a really fun place that everyone was welcomed. Over time, some places need a little TLC, and so the Queen of Milan Company, who is the landowner of the property, decided to choose the Tobin Company, which is now, it's the company I work for. And they chose us to renovate and reimagine the center to what it is today. And we reopened the center in August 2016. And I think what's so important is all those stories of the past. We worked with a lot of the cultural advisors, cultural, even some of the descendants. And just a lot of our company knew what we didn't know. And we know how to build centers. But there's such a history here in Hawaii and especially of the property that we needed to understand, learn. And a lot of folks took us under their wing, taught us everything. And we still have those relationships today. And we're so proud and honor those relationships and partnerships daily. Well, speaking of the property, I know that obviously the tree. Yeah, we cannot avoid the tree. That's our icon or like our, it's who we are. It's our 160-year-old Banyan tree. And we built completely around it because we knew what an icon it was and a beacon for the center. It's marked a historical tree and an exceptional tree by the city and county of Honolulu. I love to say to folks who don't know, the same arborist has been caring for it for over 40 years. And I'm like, that's just what a relationship in and of itself. Steve Nims, he's a well-known arborist within the community. And we're so lucky that we get to even work with him. Well, and I know initially there was a lot of people with concerns about the tree for obvious reasons. But I think the tree is probably flourishing now. Well, if you ask Steve, we see that. Housekeeping sees that. It's even actually growing at a rate like before. It only had one berry season a year. Now it's having two to three. And that's the sign of a really healthy, happy tree. And Steve will say that. He's like, this tree is happier than it's ever been. So we're super excited that the tree is just as happy if not happier. I think something else important to note is, and again, something we're proud of is that hundreds of developments across the globe entered to receive recognition from the Urban Land Institute for their efforts in development. The Tobin companies, and specifically International Marketplace, did win an award. We were one of 11 for global recognition for all those efforts I mentioned in working with our local partners and just understanding the nuances, both culturally and historically, of the property and of this special place in Waikiki. And so we're so like, we didn't need the award, but it's so awesome that the ULI recognized that as well. That's awesome. And again, it's another kudos to the Tobin team because they came in and did it right. But it takes, we always say on property, even in our team meetings, it's part of the Ohana. We have this International Marketplace Ohana. And it's just such a, we enjoyed working together.  Great. So I did mention Michael Finley earlier. And so let's talk a little bit because he's well known here. He came in and did a lot of the footwork and developed quite a lot of stuff. So let's talk a little bit about the transition and bringing you in and where you're at and what your goals are going to be. Yeah, absolutely. So Michael Finley, like I said, is our former general manager. He's been with the Tobin company for over 35 years. So he's an industry veteran and expert. So I'm so privileged that he was the one that no one else could do it like him. He came here and this is, I think, his 9th or 10th property that he's worked with, with the Tobin company. And he came in and set us all up for success. So with his leadership and guidance, he moved here well before the property even opened and was here during the construction to kind of, again, learn about the property and all the key stakeholders and partners. So he did such a wonderful job. And I had the privilege, of course, of working with him as the marketing director. And again, he even took me under his wing and probably more than I ever knew when it was happening as most often mentors are doing. And he was one of the folks that, actually I was at the Waikiki Community Center last year. And properties were getting recognized for over 40 years of business in Waikiki. And our property was chosen, of course, where we have been.  And I'm like, no, it's you. And he's like, no, you go. And there I was among all of these, again, industry veterans and whatnot, my, his peers.  In my head, I was like, I want to become a general manager one day. So I told him that after that. And I was also like, were you positioning me to do that? And he's like, maybe. And then we started telling his boss who told their boss and it kind of all started last year. And so it's just been a whirlwind of a ride. And sure enough, he got a position on the mainland. And so I'm here filling his shoes, his big shoes. And just so honored and again, privileged that the Taubman Company and this community just welcomed me into this position with open arms. Of course. Yeah. So, okay, let's talk a little bit about the shopping center itself. And, you know, you have many challenges because you're chasing different markets now. You're chasing the locals as well as the visitors. So let's talk about kind of some of the ways that you're going about doing it. We'll start with the tourists first and see. Actually, I'm gonna change it. We're gonna start with Kama'ina first. Sure. Because I think in order if you can imagine as a visitor, they're coming to Hawaii for Hawaii. You can, in our industry, you can shop and dine anywhere. But what makes our shopping and dining experience authentic?  We live here and work here every day. So it's also, you know, when we look at from a marketing perspective, what do we want to do? What do our friends and families want to do? And I think when you start at that kind of foundation, that core, then you can start thinking about the visitor. Because you're looking at other experiences, you know, aside from shopping and dining. We'll talk about that. I think later, the cultural programming and whatnot. But just what else can you do to round out that total experience? And at the end of the day, my goal is that folks leave the property, Kama'ina, and visitors alike. Learning a little bit about our, you know, we have Queen Emma, a statue and, like, paying nod and homage to the royal family, or just like the banyan tree, like just how amazing that is. I just want them all to, you know, leave something feeling a little inspired about Hawaii or Waikiki, and taking that home with them wherever they're going. So what goes into the selection of some of the stores, perhaps, I mean to attract locals versus tourists? Yeah, yeah. I think always, well, again, both groups, they want something that's made in Hawaii.  So it's so neat. We encourage that, our leasing team encourages that, and we see results with it. And it's also, again, you can have these brands, whether, you know, again, they're, like, well-known brands, but what makes them different is that when they, I call it localize, or kind of add that, like, local sentiment. And that's been really popular within the retail industry. Fabulous. Yeah. So let's go ahead and talk about some of the things that are new. What are you doing that's new on site, and then, you know, maybe we'll start with dining. Let's look at some of the dining and what's going on there. Yeah. Well, I think, too, just, like, as a nod to, like, everything, there's over 100 shops and restaurants.  And then, of course, we have local brands, as well as, like, Kula & Co., Eden & Love, Martin & McArthur. So I think when you're looking at international marketplace, there's also this, that same goal, it's, you know, it's a little bit of something for everyone. So it's just kind of, and it's, you know, it's kind of an adventure or experience when you're even walking through the center, that it's not a typical layout of a, you know, a mall. You kind of, the layout is developed to replicate a stream that was formerly there. So the layout of the center is actually in, like, a stream-like fashion. We want you to, like, enjoy being there. It's the ambiance, it's the setting.  Yeah. But for dining, we have our third-level Grand Lanai, which is dedicated solely to dining. Of course, we have other restaurants. We have the street on level one. But we just added Kaku's Sushi & Seafood Buffet, which is a new concept. Again, moderately priced. It's welcome, great for families. Shore Fire opened with us last year. Looked good, amazing local food. Flour & Barley, Strip Stick by Chef Michael Mina. Eating House, 1849 by Ron Yamaguchi and Herringbone and Gomate. So again, as you're, like, also I'm getting hungry.  No, but it's just, again, a little bit of something for everyone. And it's just neat to see, you know, these new restaurants join us and see how it adds to overall experience on the Grand Lanai. Great, you know, I think we're getting ready to take a short break here. I'm gonna say this is business in Hawaii, so we'll see you back here shortly. Aloha, my name is Duration. You are watching Think Tech Hawaii. I will be hosting a show here every other Wednesday at 1 p.m., and we will be talking to a lot of experts and guests around sustainability, social justice, the future here in Hawaii, progressive politics, and a whole lot more. So please tune in, and thank you for watching Think Tech Hawaii. Hello, I'm Mofi Hanomet. I wanna tell you about a great show that appears on Think Tech Hawaii. It's all about tourism. In fact, we call it Tourism 101, where we talk about the issues and challenges that faces our number one industry throughout the state. We'll have some interesting guests, very informative dialogue, and allow you an opportunity to maybe learn a little bit more by why this industry is so important for our state. It's been great for us in the past. We need it today, and especially going forward. That's Tourism 101 on Think Tech Hawaii. Mahalo. Hi everyone, welcome back. This is Business in Hawaii, and with us today is Brianna Groesch of International Marketplace. So Brianna, we kind of finished that. We started getting close to, and I apologize for that break. It came up a little sudden, but let's finish up a little bit more with the dining in where we left off. Yeah, absolutely. So we're talking about level three dining, but as I mentioned, there's also a concept on level one called The Street Food Hall by Michael Mina. What I think is a really fun tip for folks to know is they have something called the party pass. You'll see it soon on your screen, but it's something that you can go up to any of the concierge within the building or within the restaurant, and you can purchase this party pass.  So it's kind of a different way to experience dining, but it's a fun thing to do.  So they give it like a gift card when you get to go around to each station and you get to use one of the stamps on there. So it's like $36.99, I think, and there's like seven different offerings. So you can just go to anyone or you can use them all at one station. But again, just a fun way. And the food there is pretty good, I'm gonna say. Yeah, it's super good. Yeah. So, okay, so we'll get into, now let's talk a little bit more about some of the shopping because I know you alluded to some of that. So let's talk about some of the newest and greatest, what's going on with the shopping. Absolutely, so we are opening To Me and MCM relatively soon. Another ABC stores is coming into the center. And it's, again, just been this overall offering of just different, all different mixes of things. And we feel like that is what our customer has been wanting and just catering to their needs. So it's been really fun to round out that shopping experience that way. And what about activity? Yeah. Let's talk a little bit about some of the fun things. Yeah, that's super important. And there's, even aside from some of the activities, there's what we call customer amenities. So you'll see we have free shopping mall Wi-Fi. We also have areas where you can sit down and charge your phone for free within the mall. Maybe someone wants to sit and sit while someone else is shopping. Those rocking chairs are great. We have rocking chairs by Martin and MacArthur. And we even have a celestial pool that a lot of families will bring their kids to come. The kids are busy, so mom or dad can go and shop. And so the kids are entertained. Aside from that, we do have a nightly hula show that's free and open to the public. It's customized, and it tells our specific story. So it talks about Dukanamoku's, the nightclub, the actual, that was a nightclub where Don Ho used to perform. It also talks about Dukanamoku as the surfer, and then talks about Queen Emma, her family and some of her history as well. So it's, like I said, customized to the center, and it's just a beautiful show. So we encourage everyone to come down and see that and just, again, learn a little bit about the property. And the tower. The tower, the Lamaku Torch Tower. We start the hula show off nightly with a procession. They come out onto Kalakawa, the dancers do, and performers, and they light it magically. And then they proceed to, they walk through the center to the stage. So it's just a nice way to kind of call out and back into Waikiki to come and watch our show. Perfect. Yeah. So, you know, I know you, and I know that you guys are also, you try to reach out to the community and do a lot of things with the community. Why don't you tell us a little bit more about what you do there? Yeah. Well, personally, I'm on a few boards. I'm with Access Surf. It's a local nonprofit that helps people with disabilities surf and swim. The YWCA of Oahu, Waikiki Community Center, and the Waikiki Improvement Association. So it's just been anything supporting, you know, I'm all about inclusivity personally and professionally. I'm also about the Waikiki community. I'm a resident there as well, so I walk to and from work. And so I just wanna make sure that everyone in Waikiki is taken care of. And what about as the center itself, maybe not just, I mean, I know that, I know that you guys do a lot of different things. Yeah, we do a lot. We annually support the Hawaii Food and Wine Festival. We love to partner with programs that support the next up-and-coming chef. So we do Restaurant Week Hawaii, which is coming up in November. And then there's just a whole other, the Queen's Medical Center, we also support them. There's just a whole bunch of things that we're doing. And there's a job fair coming up? There is a job fair. It's happening this weekend and we're super excited. We have 14 merchants that are participating that are looking for wonderful employees. And so it's an annual program or event that we do. We do four hours of free parking for anyone that interviews with one of our merchants. And more details are available on our website, which is shopinternationalmarketplace.com. And I'm sure you have an Instagram page too, right? Of course we do, yeah, of course. So holiday events, we're coming up on the holidays and I know that you guys tend to do a little bit more than the norm. So why don't you tell us about what you got coming up? Yeah, so aside from our merchants that have wonderful, you know, Shipstake puts on a lovely holiday menu. I believe they've launched their Thanksgiving menu so even if you wanna take a look at that, you can. And then we also do Strolling Santa for the holidays on weekends and December. We do a little different thing with Santa in that he, you know, wears his aloha shirt, he's giving chakas and he's kinda strolling around and interacting in a different way than a typical set. So you can find him four through four p.m. to 10 p.m. Again, weekends and December. And then of course just all the special offers and sales that the stores are putting onto. So, you know, we still have quite a bit of time. So let's talk about, to you, what is it that makes international marketplace unique? What sets you apart from, let's say, your competitor? Yeah, I love that every day I get to come to work and I get to share this unique story with our visitors. And that's visitors to the center. Again, that's Kamayana and visitors. You talked about the Banyan Tree. There's the Hula Show. There's just like, I don't know, there's such like the mana of international marketplace. Like we all feel it, our management team and our merchants. And it's just, again, such a lovely place to, again, like peruse and walkthrough and just the history that's there is so neat and deep. And so, again, to be able to tell those stories every day for as a profession is such a privilege and so fun. I hope people, yeah, learn, like I said, learn that and take pride in that too if they learn it. What are some of the things, now that you're in charge and running things, is there anything that you'd want to do different or is there anything that you'd want to, what do you want to expand on? What would you like to put your footprint in and now that you're following through what Michael did and he did an excellent job and like you said, you choose. But you got pretty big shoes there too, Brianna, so what are you gonna do? I think personally, I like to lead with heart, lead with Aloha. I think that's the difference. And I want everyone, again, especially, I think, again, it starts with our own management team, our merchants and the type of customer service we're providing. It's I want everyone to feel that sense of Aloha when they're coming to the center. So we've actually started rolling out programs to help educate and elevate our teams through the customer service we provide and also the cultural education of the property. So there's more to come there. But at the end of the day, I think there's so much more we can do with, again, understanding the stories from the past and what's that modern interpretation of them? I love with laymaking. We work with local laymaker, Meliana Estes, and she learned the art of laymaking from her tutu. So it's this traditional art, but she's kind of interpreted into her own modern and fashion. So I think there's other things we can do similarly with bringing that past to life to the present, but in this re-imaginative way, which is just as the symbol or the property itself has gone through that transformation. So I would tell people to kind of look out for that because we're planning. Excellent. Now, I know one of the shots here, there was a trolley. So why don't you talk a little bit about? Yeah, so last April, we opened up a bus depot and we have wonderful partners that use that daily. And one of them is Waikiki Trolley. And so while we are a partner on the pink line, you can get off at the pink line across the street at the International Marketplace Stop. You can actually also get off and on in-center in our bus depot and take part in the yellow line, which opened or launched rather this year and it's the dining line. So it goes down Kapahulu. And so even if you live on Kapahulu, you can come into Waikiki via this and it's pretty cheap. And sometimes they even do comma and a discount for Halloween or certain holidays. But again, just a fun way to like, how do we need to get somewhere via transportation or are we like to dine? How do we do these like standard practices, like traditional things a little differently? And I love that this trolley partnership has really, you know, helps us even think about transportation in a different and new way. So one other thing then, this is just off the cuff because I'm thinking, okay, you're in the middle of Waikiki. What about your neighbors? How do you work with your neighbors? You have hotels all the way around you and I'm sure that you must have some kind of partnerships or working relationships with some of them too. Yeah, yeah, we love our neighbors in Waikiki, especially since our guests that come to the center, a lot of them are staying there. So we work in partnership with all of them around us, literally. And while we have great relationships and some folks there can get things like your passport to shopping, which is an exclusive shopping and dining package. The hotels help us put that out. It's just, you know, again, we're all representatives of the Waikiki community. So we all have to work together to make sure our tourist and our visitor, comma, Aina, are well taken care of. So whether it be offering them special packages or even the folks that work in Waikiki, comma, Aina discounts and making sure that our team is getting the information out there to let them know to come down and try some new food or shops out. We have about two more minutes left. So in closing, is there anything else you'd like to add or share that just? Yeah, I think it's, again, just been a whirlwind. And what I love to see is that while we always envision comma, Aina, coming back to the center, we're seeing even more. We know that they love parking. The parking's accessible and easy off of Cahillo Avenue. So even if Kala-Kala's closed, which it sometimes is, it makes it super easy. Like some people call it like Costco parking. I wonder if I can get their permission to start branding it that way. Big stalls, well lit, whatever. That's hilarious, because it is. It is, it is. They're nice big stalls. So I think our center did so much to keep the comma, Aina, in mind. And I love to hear that feedback that they're coming back to Waikiki and even more than we ever imagined. And so I hope that trend continues and we're doing everything we can to hope it to keep that increasing. Okay. Yeah. All right. That's all. That's it? Yeah. Well, okay, we're running out of time then. And what I wanna do is thank you so much, Brianna, because it's been a pleasure and I'm glad that you were able to make it today. Thank you everyone else for joining us. Thank you for the great production staff here in the studio. And if you would like to be a guest on the show, please email your information to showsatthink.Hawaii.com. Business in Hawaii airs every Thursday at 2 p.m. We look forward to seeing you here next week. Thank you very much.


As we look at that, and we've teased this name before earlier in the show, the Shattuck test, what is that? What is it that you do and what did you find this year when you did the Shattuck test? So what I tell people really starting in November as they're kind of preparing for not just giving Tuesday, but year end in general is you've got to make sure people can donate number one. So I encourage people to donate to themselves. First of all, make sure everything's working, right, because you don't want to wake up on November 30th or December 1st or whatever day giving Tuesday is, and something's broken, or it's not working the way you want it to, you know, maybe your vendor lets you down or it's not working on the mobile app, just making sure that happens. And I'm going to be saying that over the next couple of weeks, because December 30th and December 31st, same thing. Even with the tax law changes, December 31st is still the biggest day.  So you can still do this. So number one, can you accept donations is everything working the way you want. And it's a good thing to do, not just in November and December, but maybe once a month or maybe once a quarter just to make sure. But then the other thing, and something I talk a lot about in my book is what happens after someone donates. This is usually kind of an afterthought, right? What are we saying to these donors? You know, what's that experience post online donation look like? Because if they're a brand new donor, for example, these are the first things that we are saying to these donors, even though it's through automated processes, right, it's the automatic receipt that the online giving provider sends out. It's your website's confirmation page. I tell people to look at those two things very closely because they're usually kind of an afterthought and they are usually very robotic and boring and transactional. And then the donor isn't getting anything from us that is really kind of, you know, saying thank you in a heartfelt way until perhaps days or weeks later, if at all. So what I look at, it's basically a secret shopping experiment, I guess, secret donation experience or experiment where I do that and I look at people's confirmation pages and the email receipts and then I kind of see what they, you know, send to me. Is it a welcome kid? Is it a phone call? Is it a handwritten note? And the reason I recommend those things is we looked at Blumerang customers during the pandemic who were really successful. And one of the main things we saw in addition to the fact that they were asking or asking more often than those who weren't, but it's that they were doing things like calling donors and sending videos and, you know, doing zoom calls, things like this or FaceTime calls, some sort of personal interaction. Because I think one thing that burns donors out on Giving Tuesday is it's a very transactional experience for them. But if you can go and give those donors a really positive personal experience, that is going to stand out amongst all the other, perhaps Giving Tuesday gifts or year-end gifts that they make to other nonprofits if they are donating elsewhere.


Hello, thank you for joining us. I'm Bart Shawick from the National Institutes of Health. And I'm Shauna Sadler with Orchid. And today we're going to talk to you about ScienceCV and biosketches and how we have integrated that with Orchid. So let's start with ScienceCV. What is it? ScienceCV is a system that allows investigators that are applying for federal grants to leverage data that they already might have existing in an information system so that they can quickly fill out a biosketch. And a biosketch is like a mini CV profile that grant applications need to be successful. And so ScienceCV was set up because we knew that PIs had a lot of this information that was existing out there. And in order to facilitate and make this a quicker process, we said let's use something that could pull this information in for them, help to fill out the biosketch and format it for them according to the agency's specifications. It also helps the granting agencies because they're able to input this data quickly and they can use it to track scientists throughout their career. Currently ScienceCV supports NIH as well as NSF biosketch formats. It supports the NSF current and pending support document and the Department of Education's IES biosketch. We're integrated not just with Orchid but also with NSF fast lane eRA Commons which NIH investigators will have an account with and the PubMed and PMC literature archives. Orchid's vision is a world where all who participate in research, scholarship and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and affiliations across time disciplines and borders. So in short, Orchid is part of an infrastructure to organize scholarly activities. We provide a unique ID number to people and a record to capture their research activities. So this ID then connects the research or scholarly activities like applying for an NIH or NSF grant with their Orchid record. Next slide. So we've talked about how ScienceCV is making things easier for investigators. Let's kind of look at how that happens. If you're not using ScienceCV and you'd like to apply for a grant, the NIH as well as NSF both publish guides that help you put together a successful grant package. For NIH, if you wanted to fill out the bios, have a successful biosketch filled out, you have to look through their application guide, which is 310 pages. The NSF also specifies what their biosketch format is like in their 185 page application guide. And within these guides, you will find all of the administrative details about how big the margins can be and how many lines per inch and what fonts you have to use. So this is all information that you have to ensure your biosketch is structured and adhering to so that when it goes in as part of the grant application process, it has to meet all these specifications. But if you'd rather not dig through all of that, you can use ScienceCV. And I had also mentioned that you can connect existing data that you might have at NIH or NSF. And you do this by signing in through one or more of these accounts that you may have existing. So if you have an NIH or a commons account, you can sign into ScienceCV directly using that. You can also sign in using the NSF login option. And if you have an Oregon account, you can sign in with the ORCID system. You are not limited to one of these. You can sign in with accounts that you have at each of these places simultaneously. So you can have an NIH account linked to your ScienceCV as well as your NSF as well as ORCID. And you can pull information from all three of these sources. So to demonstrate, we have Sophia Maria Hernandez Garcia with her ORCID ID and record. So please imagine Sophia is a researcher at your organization. Sophia has registered for an ORCID ID free of charge, and it took approximately 60 seconds to complete this process. Sophia then spent time populating her ORCID record with her research-related information, such as her biography, her employer, education, funding, and list of her scholarly works. Next slide, please. So when Sophia logged into the NIH or NSF biosketch with her ORCID ID, the content in her ORCID record pre-populated the biosketch reducing her administrative burden. So if your organization is a member of ORCID, your administrative staff can proactively pre-populate the ORCID records of your researchers to further support reducing researchers administrative burden. It's important to know that researchers will always be able to edit the content in their ORCID record. Next slide, please. So this really shows the power of leveraging data that you already have existing in different systems and how it can get pulled into ScienceCV. And as I mentioned, you can use as many of these as you would like. You can have information coming from ERA Commons, as well as ORCID, as well as research.gov, which is the NSF solution for this. Whenever you're filling out the biosketch, if there's a point where having some of this information would help you and you've not linked an ORCID account to it yet, we'll often have a prompt. So you can quickly and easily click on this link, and then we'll let you send you over to ORCID, you would authenticate with that sign in, and then come back to ScienceCV, and now you'll be able to have that connected information pulled into the biosketch. You can manage these connected accounts at any time. If you click on your username while you're signed into ScienceCV, we show you a personal settings page, and it will display all of the different accounts that have currently been linked to your ScienceCV account. You can change them if you'd like, adding or removing them as you wish. When you first come to ScienceCV and you set it up, you get a bibliography that is connected to ScienceCV. And this bibliography will easily pull from PubMed. So if you are a life science researcher and you have lots of publications that are in PubMed, the bibliography feature that comes with ScienceCV easily pulls things in. It's particularly helpful for NIH investigators that have NIH grants. They are required to use this bibliography as part of their grant reporting requirements. It populates the NIH RPPR. So if you're already using this bibliography to report on your grants, all that information can be put into ScienceCV, and it's really easy for you to fill out the biosketch using that data.  This is where ORCID could really come in and help you because ORCID will pull from other sources such as CrossRef and Scopus. They've made it really easy to pull in information from those types of resources into the ORCID record. You can create manual citations in ORCID, and this information can be pulled into ScienceCV as well. And like I said, you're not limited to one or the other. You can use both at the same time. Now, sometimes pulling this information into ScienceCV can cause a bit of an issue. For instance, if you are someone that publishes in the physical sciences, you know that lots of times publications will have large author lists because of these big collaborations. And if you're trying to fill out a biosketch, say, for the National Science Foundation, you're only limited to two pages. And that could be a problem because one or two citations can easily put you over that two-page limit. Now you have three pages, but this is something that I published in a collaboration. What am I supposed to do with this? So if you get that error message and you get these large author lists from a couple of your citations that have come over from ORCID, we've collaborated with scientists and talked to them about their needs, and we've come up with a solution for that. So if you are pulling citations into your biosketch, and I'm showing the ORCID tab here, this is the point where we're adding citations to your biosketch. We show a couple citations here that have a big list of author names, and we'd like to trim that down. So for each of these citations, there's a hyperlink called Edit Authors. And if you click on that, you get a dialog box that has all the author names that are part of that citation, which you can then edit down, make it more manageable. In this example, we've trimmed it down to three different author names. You might want to make sure that your name is among those so that the reviewer can see that, and we finish it off with an et al. So once you've done that, we will note on the ORCID feed that this particular citation has been edited. You've trimmed down the author list, and you'll notice there is an edited tab now. If you click on that edited tab, you will see what the edited version looks like.  Now when you add this edited citation into the biosketch, it's nice and short. Number two is the one we did. There's our three authors at all. You can fit right into the page limits that you needed to have, and your name is displayed, and everything looks great. When you're filling out the biosketch, whether it's an NIH biosketch or an NSF biosketch, in ScienceCV, the interface looks very similar. We lead you through the process. We'll show you which parts of information need to get filled out. As we had mentioned in both of these examples, we've linked it to an ORCID ID, and we used ORCID information to pre-populate these biosketches, and this is, you can see the information that came over. Once that information comes over from ORCID and populates the biosketch, it's completely editable by you. So you can go in, you can change anything that you'd like to. If anything came over, it was in all caps, and you wanted to fix that, you're free to do so. Once the information is imported into that biosketch, it's static in that it does not go back to ORCID. So you're not going to overwrite any existing information that you have there. It's put into ScienceCV, and then you're free to make it exactly how you need to. Once you've gotten your biosketch set up, you'll notice there's a link for PDF download at the top of each of those screens. If you click on that, we will produce the PDF according to the specifications that NIH or NSF has. And even better is we keep all the structured data that made these PDFs, and we attach it so that when you submit the PDF to either NIH or NSF, they're able to extract this information. We have a similar interface in ScienceCV for the NSF current and pending support. This is where you would note what grants support you, and it also has the same type of interface where you can enter the grants. You click the download PDF. We'll produce the PDF that's according to the NSF specifications, and the structured data gets attached to that PDF as part of the application process. So ScienceCV has lots of features that try to make it really simple to get the information in so you quickly create a biosketch. You can have as many biosketches as you'd like. So you can duplicate them, edit additional versions. Whenever you're ready to prepare a PDF for submission, you just click the PDF button and we'll output it on demand. If you saw that there was a mistake and you wanted to fix it, you simply go back in, fix it in ScienceCV and click PDF again. You get a new output ready for your grant application. And finally, you can have a delegate manage this for you.  So ORCID and the NIH are working together right now to enable the NIH to write funding awards directly to the researchers ORCID records. So this project is scheduled to go live in early 2021. And the NIH recently announced their final policy on data management and sharing and ORCID will be able to support this by enabling researchers to add their research data management plans or DMPs to their ORCID record in the work section. So we both hope that we've shown you how ScienceCV can make things easier and how you can really take it to the next level when you connect data from ORCID or from NIH. And we hope to make the process much easier and much nicer for you. We have additional information. We have videos available on YouTube for how to integrate with ORCID and link those accounts. There's a general ScienceCV overview video on YouTube as well. And finally, ScienceCV also has a help desk that you can write to as well as NSF for policy questions or how to use the login and ORCID is happy to hear from you as well. So here's information if you'd like to learn more about ORCID and ScienceCV. And we hope to see you creating a biosketch soon.


Okay, and thank you, President Ndung Pa. I just, a while ago, I checked the exact time President Ndung Xi Jinping used for reading the report, which is 204 minutes, which is equivalent to three over 24 minutes. So it took such a long time for him to reading the report. So we are asked to summarize the Maypoint in 10 minutes. That's a great challenging for us. It's good for us though. So I decide maybe I prefer to concentrate from one angle. That's the economic interpretation. What is the outcome for Party National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party? One thing I want to mention at the beginning, the purpose for National Congress of Communist Party is to not solve the problem now. They want to design the blueprint in the next five years. Five years and beyond. That's very important. The purpose for National Congress not solve the problem now. They want to look in the future. So I decide to use the format in my presentation is I want to put a number plus keyword to summarize the Maypoint from economic perspective. First is two unchanging. That's unchanging is the basic judgment on current position of Chinese economy. First unchanging is basic national condition unchanging. That means China still and will be long time remain at the initial stage of socialism. That's basic unchanging. Second unchanging is China's international status as the world's largest developing country, which is unchanging. That's very important to unchanging because its implication is economic development is and will be the first priority for Chinese Communist Party. That's the foundation for all of objective or plan in the future. Beyond five years, even maybe ten or next three decades. Then one changing. The terminology describe the major contradiction in China facing. That's something changing. I guess Jia Qingguo also mentioned. Here I want to give some explanation. What's mean contradiction? It's kind of a meaning of ideology. It's major challenging. You can interpret that way. It's major challenging China is facing. Previously the description of the major contradiction is between the ever growing material and cultural needs of people and the low level or backward level of production. The previous here I mean after the end of cultural revolution until now you can describe is the Deng Xiaoping area. Even before that under the Mao Zedong area that's different. That's class struggle is the major contradiction. After the end of cultural revolution under the Deng Xiaoping that's the description of the main challenge. There now party congress changing that. Become the between people's ever growing needs for a better life and unbalance and the equivalent development. Here the implication is first of all it's recognized we have already achieved economic progress because previously just say low or backward level of production. Now it's say we have already reached certain level but it's unbalanced. That's first. Second is quality will pay more attention than quantity. That's very important. Why? Because originally only say people need the material and the cultural need. Now it's a better life which contain more meaning than for example environment green line such kind of things including that. There one plus two stages. That is the path for future objective in next three decades. The first stage is from now to 2020, three, four years. The target is to finish the building of a moderate prosperous society in all aspect. In Chinese we say In this period we have the target. The assignment for government is guarding against a reduction financial risk. Then at the end of 2020 have to eliminate the poverty. Then we have to do great effort to solve the pollution production. That's for next maybe four years. Then very important sometimes if you read the Chinese newspaper they always say we have two steps to have a goal. Sometimes even I find it confusing. I read the reporter again and again I decided to say one plus two. If you only say two steps people say what's happened from now to 2020. So I say one plus two. The more important or part you want to emphasize is two steps. The first step is from 2020 to 2035. That's 15 years. The target is basically realizing the socialist modernization. Then next stage from 2035 to 2050 it's building China into a greater modern socialist country. That is prosperous, strong, democratic, cultural advance, harmonious and beautiful. That's the whole goal. Very important implication is we have to take note no more GDP growth target which is different from previously. Previously always people say we have to double GDP growth rate or in 10 years or whatever. Now no mention the GDP target. Then also just like the previous I mentioned quality over quantity. That's very important implications. Then also very important two continuations I summarize that's related may contact of future development strategy. What suppose CPC will do in next maybe two or three decades. One first continuation. Chinese government decided to continue to carry open door policy. Also very important. Red and the load initiative will become the focus on the open door policy. That's the report specifically indicated that. I don't want to go detail on the initiative. People have already talked a lot but I just mentioned that. Second is no open door policy is a two way opening up. Previously China pay more attention to attract foreign direct investment. Now China also make oversee direct investment. That's two way opening up. Then detail China started to using the negative list in order to track more foreign direct investment. Here what mean negative list. That mean any item on the least list to be negative. That mean other than that's item everything you can make investments without approval in advance. That's international standard. China experiment negative list in Chinese free trade zone now wanted to promote nationwide. That's mean the more open to a foreign direct investment. Also in the report Xi Jinping mentioned probably in those four years Chinese government started experiment in Shanghai called free trade zone. Now free trade zone have already expanded to 11 city or area. But now Xi Jinping also try ask exploit another they call free trade port. That mean maybe copy some model like Singapore or other free trade port. That mean will be more open to streamline given more facility of foreign trade. That's something I summarize the open door policy there. The second continuation is CPC want to continue to carry domestic economical reforms. Here is a list of some very important item in economical form. First of all we will continue to carry structure supply side reform. Pay more attention on real economy. We will move Chinese industry toward the middle and high end of global value chain. But not currently the production in China usually at the low end. Now Chinese government want to push to the middle and high end of global value chain. Also more focus on innovation and new technology. But still we are lagging behind advanced country. But now we are little bit catch up some new technology. We also have a great company like Alibaba, Tenen. They try to catch up some high tech knowledge company in US. Second item is they want to improve market economic system. That mean will continue to do SOE reform. The first time they mention they call two pillar macro framework. Macro economic adjustment framework. The first pillar is the monetary policy. Second pillar is the MPA. Macro potential administration. That's new terminology. They never use that. That's the first time usually Chinese say we want two pillar macro economic adjustment. Then we pay more attention to countryside development. Mainly you know probably I guess you familiar with the land system in China. The land in the city belongs to the government. The land in countryside belongs to what we call collective. These systems still will keep intact. But at the same time some part of countryside land we call construction land. Operating construction land can be used to build up the house for renting. The meaning is that way the farmer can get more benefit from these kind of things. Originally government take away farm land at a very cheap price. Then sold it to developer. The difference between these type can be used for infrastructure in city. In some way it's okay. It's good. Why people are amazing. Why so fast China can do infrastructure in city. That's I guess a major reason. But another side the farmer cannot get the major benefit from these kind of system. So China now want to pay more attention to benefit of farmer. As a first step some land can be used to build up house for renting. That's one error for two purpose. One is to can be reduce the price housing price in the city. Now is very high housing price in China in the large city very high. So China government try provide some renting house in order one hand give more benefit to farmers. Another hand to decline or reduce the high price. That more young generation can afford to live in the city. So another one is we put more attention to cooperation. We call regional development development. First of all coast area to inland area. You know usually the coast area very prosperous. Now we try to do more pay more attention to development inland. Second is the city and countryside. We have to take notes to improve the infrastructure in countryside. Also that's the new term. Now the first time in official document we wanted to develop a city cluster with the large city as a core. Vice small media city. Previously Chinese government always say we want to develop a small media city. But now they're changing. They're using city cluster with a large city as a core. That's something we should take note. So okay I'll finish very quickly. If all the above go accomplish obviously there will a conclusion can be reached. The conclusion is China is moving towards the center of a world stage. The detail is will continue to make a great contribution to the global GDP growth. In past five years China contributed 30% of share of total global growth. Also will become a more important source of direct investment over the world. Which will be beneficial to other country. The last one is will play more active role in global economic governance. Obviously this goal is not easy to achieve. It's a big challenge ahead. We have to overcome many things. But I'm confident so I guess we can accomplish that. I can share one episode with you. And two days I arrived here the city. I took taxi to look around. The taxi driver asked me where did you come from? I say from China. China is good. You guys always walk without sleep. Without sleep how I can survive. But at least the Chinese people did working very hard. That's very important fact supporting the previous success. That's something that's mentioned in document. So I hear mentioned that. So I stop here. Thank you. After you suggested your presentation was much more market oriented. And specific figure out what happened in Shanghai stock market. This year you just represent as you work as a spokesman of your government. So more hypothetical and more symbolic and more conceptual one. Anyway, I enjoyed both of these two diverse elements. But if I give some questions, you know, as I mentioned at outset, Moody and SMP downgraded the government credit rate. It's not every year's business. Because it is the first time during the last 22 years if my memory is correct. But in accordance with your analysis debt to GDP rate. Yes, last year you mentioned that no, even though it's a little higher, but still manageable. But during the last years SMP and Moody's made some very unexpected downgraded. So what is your response to that question? And then new Xi Jinping's guideline, you don't need GDP concept anymore. The concept of GDP is challenging even the western economic sphere, but from different reasons. But if you disregard the GDP concept, how we could figure out the trend of your percentage of national debt and your government debt and your shadow financial institute debt. I think at least you should provide the minimum basic data so that, you know, the outside investors could easily figure out what's going on within China. So maybe in this sense I think GDP concept is still valid. So that is my two questions. So you could make some answer right now while I will give you another five minutes. You want to be answered now? Oh, it's up to you. I can answer now. Actually, yesterday I had in another... Very briefly, yeah, please. Yesterday you didn't come. I made a... I say something in the prenalization on the world economy. Regarding the downgrade of SMP or Moody, probably I will say they made a mistake. They made a mistake. They made a mistake. If you are interested, I can send you something because one of my best friends do some research on methodology, SPUs. Actually, the model is incorrect. I can give you detail. Also, IMF, how is it to forecast the SMP? Personally, I ask deputy director of the research department of IMF how they calculate the debt. They're just forecasting according to the date. Just straightforward line. No model they are using for IMF, at least. I can show you if you want. I can show you the email. So tell you the truth, probably you don't pay attention. One week ago, Chinese government to each US dollar solving debt, two billion US dollar in Hong Kong. Very positive response. The year for this bond, only little bit higher than US treasure, higher 0.125. That's the market. Disagree with the evaluation of SPU. That's the evidence. So I'm not going to say that data is not important. Yes, of course, year in, year out, Chinese government, I guess, still will disclose the gross rate. What I try to say, the Communist Party don't want to set the goal. GDP grows as a goal. That's different. Of course, they still will make announcement. I will give you another chance because there might be some counter argument from other colleagues.
