Jim, if you could state your name and address please and then you will have five minutes. Sure. Mr. Van Akron, 432 Lincoln Avenue. Good evening and happy new year to you all. As I believe you are aware, I am the chairperson of the Sustainable Shabuigan Task Force but for the most part I speak tonight not on behalf of the task force but as an individual. First, I'm speaking to you this evening about items 15, 16 and 18 on your agenda.  It appears that all three of these vehicles are diesel powered. As you may recall, I have encouraged you to think sustainably while making decisions such as the purchase of these vehicles. The sustainable way when using diesel vehicles is to use what is called biodiesel. Biodiesel in our area typically is derived from the oil of soybeans. According to the US Department of Energy, using a life cycle analysis, B100 biodiesel use reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 74% compared with petroleum diesel. We should seriously be planning to switch to biodiesel for our diesel engine fleets. Both our director of public works and our city administrator have indicated to me that they are supportive of the use of biodiesel. The federal government uses biodiesel, including the Department of Defense. So my message to you is in making these purchases of these vehicles, you need to discuss with city administration how we can fuel these vehicles using biodiesel. Item number 19 is the purchase of a lawnmower. This appears to be a gas powered. A more sustainable lawnmower would be electric powered. However, the electric power in the battery may not be sufficient for an entire day of mowing. So we need to explore the feasibility of swapping out batteries, the ability to charge rapidly or adjusting task schedule so that when battery power is low and employee can do other tasks. We can also look at what areas might not need mowing. The sustainability task force has asked for but has not yet received a map of the city of Sheboyin green space so we can do an assessment to see if there are areas that we presently mow that do not need to be mowed or could be converted to a low maintenance natural landscape. Item 21 on your agenda concerns the development agreement and the use of ARPA funds for low income housing. In reviewing the packet regarding this agenda item, the city has not set its own sustainability standards. It is important that we begin doing so. Last time we, you met when discussing the government post development, I suggested numerous things that should be considered to make a development sustainable. They are equally applicable here for the development of the low income housing. Things such as the use of solar power. One important issue that I failed to mention last month in the government post issue or development was that we need to be thinking about on all these developments, installing level two charging stations for electric vehicles or at least put in the infrastructure so that the charging stations could be easily installed. The sustainability task force encourages the city to develop a comprehensive sustainability action plan. Many cities in our state already have one. With such a plan addressing the issues I addressed tonight would just be part of the process when we make these decisions on these purchases. As of yet, we do not see any action by the city administration or the council to create such a plan. Utilizing the sustainability vision statement we submitted last November, the task force is willing to work with all of you to create such a plan. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Van Akron. City Clerk, anyone else? No one this evening. Great. We'll jump into Mayor's announcements, just a few items. First of all, happy New Year, happy 2024 everyone. I know that we are geared up and you'll see in some future agendas that we have a lot of wonderful projects that we'll be working on coming down the pike here really quickly. Also, DPW has announced that Christmas tree pick up. So if you have a real tree, please put that out on the corner and DPW will pick that up. Also, it is property tax collection time. So tax bills have been mailed out a few days ago. The payments can be collected at City Hall here or Wisconsin Bacon Trust up until the 31st. After the 31st, it will be collected at the Sheboyin County Treasurer's Office in more information regarding property tax information can be found on the city's website. So those are all the notes that I have for today. We'll jump into the Consent Agenda then. Items seven through 10, Holder Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I move to receive and file all ROs, receive all RCs and adopt all resolutions and ordinances. Moved and seconded discussion on any Consent Agenda items. All right, seeing no queues. This will be a roll call vote. Alder Pirella, eight ayes. Those items are approved. Items 11 through 13 will be referred to the respective committees. Item 14, under resolutions. Resolution number 1352324 by Alder Person's Decker and Rust, authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute the third amendment to operating agreement between City Sheboyin and Power Pubs LLC, Alder Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I ask this to suspend the rules. Any objection to suspension? Seeing none, please proceed with your motion. I move to adopt the resolution. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right, seeing no queues. This is a roll call vote. Eight ayes. That's approved. Items 15 through 19 will be referred to the respective committees. Next, item 20, reports of committees. RC number 1682324 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred, resolution number 1262324 by Alder Person's Mitchell Flikipinesky, authorizing an agreement in the 2024 budget and directing the finance director to create a special revenue fund for the transfer of revenues and expenses to the city related to uptown social activities. Alder Mitchell. Thank you, Mayor. I move to receive the RC and adopt the resolution. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right, seeing no queues. This will be a roll call vote. Eight ayes. That item is approved. Next, RC number 1692324 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred, resolution number 1272324 by Alder Person's Mitchell Flikipinesky, authorizing, entering into a development agreement with Partners for Community Development and KG Development Group regarding an affordable housing project located on the corner of North 13th Street and Erie Avenue. Alder Mitchell. Move to receive the RC and adopt the resolution. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right, seeing none. This is a roll call vote. Eight ayes. That's approved. Item 22 will be referred to the Finance Personnel Committee. Alder Decker, we've exhausted the agenda. What's the privilege of your motion? Thank you, Mayor. Move to adjourn. Moved and seconded. All those in favor of adjourning, state aye. Aye. Any objection? We're adjourned at 610. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. That was a quickie. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha.

Residents of Aoteosa Local Government Area came out to cast their votes for their preferred candidates into the chairmanship and councilorship positions. But as Aneta Felix reports, the otherwise calm election was characterized by vote buying and voter apathy. Full and ad hoc staff of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, LISEC, receive election materials at the Ikoi Obalinde Local Council Development Area Secretariat. With the necessary tools and materials including card readers and ballot boxes received, they board bosses designated to take them to different polling units in Aoteosa Local Government Area. It's past 9am and election supervisors of the People's Democratic Party get these issues off their chest. At the moment, I think it's very slow. Most places still don't have their polling unit sets. Most of the polling booths that are close to the barrack, they said they should bring it opposite the road. It's not done. That's where iNEC had their election. Why are you bringing it too far away from the people? At polling unit 2 ward 10 in Ije, voting begins slowly with a setup of electoral materials as voters trickle in. We are going to actually be on a single line and we are starting now. Residents of Ije, including a chairmanship candidate, commence the election as peaceful and the environment calm. It's going to be very cool and calm, no stress. The only issue I heard is my card is broken and instead of it to be registered automatically, then registered it manually. The vote is okay. It's going well. Everything is normal. So no fights. I just want Peaceful 49 Julia. They came in earlier. But beyond the calm and outside the gates, we'll witness some shady activities including vote buying. They gave you 1000 naira and I was wondering why? Why did you decide to collect the 1000 naira? I don't know. Instead of the crowds to build, less people show up to cast their vote, just as in other polling units in the local government area. Security experts doubt the opinion that public disaffection may be responsible for the little turnout. So you get notified about fresh news updates.


Many of us can tend to over commit to programs or learning. We start maybe in the beginning of the year with a particular program. Maybe it's even a one year commitment or something like that and we are so excited and we commit. And maybe there's a small team of people male if some programs have that, or kind of accountability buddy and you commit to say yes I will do this. So this many things you know this frequently and, and then sometime in during the year, someone else, you know, invites us to a program, oh my gosh this is this is what I need this is so important. And so we commit to that as well. Now, ideally, before we commit to a program, we clarify exactly what the commitments are, and then map that to our existing availability and say, well, this is my existing availability. And this is what the program is asking. Is it realistic, or if not, then any good program will come back around. I promise you the truth, any good program will come back around. And of course, as a good marketer, or, or maybe more of an evil marketer they will say this program will never be taught again. It will never be offered in this way ever again and, and they could they could always be technically speaking this program will never be offered this exact way again but next time I'm sure you'll tweak it. So I wasn't technically lying. I was just being an evil marketer and creating FOMO, you know if you're missing out. So, this is, this is why I'm like yeah I whatever you see from me. Don't, you know, don't sign up for it if you're over committed because if I, if it's a good thing I'm teaching, I promise you I would teach it again I promise you, you know, as long as I'm alive it'll come back around so you can not sign up for my programs. I will follow my own sword for the sake of all the other evil marketers out there.  No, no. So, so, but if we have already signed up, let's say, we went ahead and did it and then we realize oh my gosh. This program that I've just signed up for is requiring all these things in me or everyone else seems to be doing these commitments. Then, then the, then the question is, how can we unify our commitments, so that it is meeting both programs both teams or commitments. So, for example, let's say you committed in one program to, you know, post content three days a week or something like that. And then in the second program you committed to making invitations to, you know, 10 people a week or something like that. Okay, well then could you somehow unify those two. Unify this say, well, if I post, if I post twice a week and then one thing I post a week is a call to action invitation. I'm technically inviting 100 people at the same time. So, so, you know, I could maybe unify it that way. You know, if I have an audience of 100, if I have 100 Facebook friends, and I make a call to action once a week I'm technically inviting 100 people, or maybe at least 10 people will see it so you could say that I'm inviting those people. So anyway, I will try to find ways to unify my commitments so that they're actually aligned. And, you know, if it cannot be, you can always renegotiate your commitments, it's always an option. And the reneg, so like, the option of course is to either need to unify the commitments. Well, first option ideally you have so much space in your calendar that you schedule everything in, so that you are fulfilling all commitments. That's usually not the case. Second option you unify the commitments, such as can third option, you will negotiate the commitment. Either way, you will negotiate the commitment from the, the one that's been longer, because it's, you know, understandable to me negotiate something, or if you can renegotiate something, something that's just that you just committed to. That's, that's a very powerful stance to take and, you know, that's, that's good practice if needed. So renegotiation. To practice it. Otherwise, you only have the fourth option, which is to, to not make your commitment. And, you know, that doesn't feel good. It's doesn't support your integrity and your reputation in front of others. So I think renegotiation is really what most of us need to practice and say hey you know what, I did commit to this in the beginning. I didn't expect that this would happen. And I'm, you know, instead of posting three times a week, like a committed to you all, I'm going to be posting only twice a week or only once a week. And the reason is, you know, when you negotiate a commitment, do your best to give a reason because then the other person understands that it's not just because you don't feel like doing it. The reason is because I've also committed over here to these other to this other team that I would do 10 limitations per week. And in fact, I think that that is going to support. I think these two commits could support each other because they're synergistic to my business. And so, you know, so I think I think those are those are the options and I hope I hope this helps.


We have some founders on that have come on that have come from a similar background where they're working at, you know, one of these big companies, and they sort of understand the secrets or they understand how these companies begin to think, and they understand the threats that, you know, come on. And so we've had startups that are in two buckets. I'll give you a couple of examples. So in one bucket, let's call it a completely natural almond milk where it's four ingredients. The problem is shelf life, but it's completely natural. There's no gums, there's there's no fillers, it's there's no binders, it's just four ingredients and water shelf life being six, seven days, and it comes frozen. And so you have to add water. Now, if I'm a big corporation, I'm looking at these companies as a potential threat, but the reality is for anyone to really make it, you're going to have to mass produce and trade offs will be made. When you were an executive or in, you know, in the room, let's call it, did any of this give you ideas as to like what they view as a potential threat or maybe even let's call them blind spots, not even the threats, but like blind spots within the food market that because either the market's too small or it's just emerging. What was that like for you? And did it give you any ideas of like, oh, this could be something big because no one's paying attention to this particular problem or segment? I think I saw because I was my own consumer, I could see where there were gaps in white space and it was around clean ingredients. It was around products that actually tasted as good as their normal counterparts. And then like putting my big CPG hat on, I think where I would view a company like ours as a threat is if we were able to bring other consumers to the category that they weren't able to appeal to, if we were able to gain max distribution and start to eat away at even like fractions of their share points, I think would be eye opening to big CPG. And so for me, I was really working on solving my family's own problem. But I could see that there was a large market opportunity because I started to research how many people had food allergies, how many people may not have food allergies, but eat a restricted diet for personal or medical reasons and how there was a gap in brands that really could appeal to multicultural consumers. And so I felt like there were a lot of places where our brand could play that could make it a large scalable company. And then what was your first step? And so what was the first product you decided to either recipe, develop or create and probably having your daughter as like the perfect litmus test, right? Or or maybe not. Maybe she's giving you feedback saying like, this is awful. I got a lot of this is awful, which then made me very quickly bring on a professional. We worked with a food scientist who was able to bring my vision to life. I think I didn't appreciate how different it was. Kind of the example you described, like I could make a really good allergy friendly cookie at home, but then it had no shelf life. It had stuff like, you know, you have to soak dates overnight and then blend them stuff that just wasn't commercially scalable. And so we needed to bring someone in that could help us make the formula a lot more scalable. And then what was your first line of products that you brought to market? We launched with cookies. So we launched with three flavors of cookies in August of 2017 for a couple of reasons. One, because I wanted like a very simple celebratory product that people could share easily and felt like a nice indulgence. And then two, from a more practical perspective, we needed a top eight allergen free facility to produce our products in. And there's only two large ones in the country and they could only make a small amount of product. So it was like, you know, I can make baking mixes or bars or cookies. And so I knew that we wouldn't have the capital to be able to start buying fancy custom equipment to make other products. So we went with something they already had. So there was kind of a twofold reason as to why we started with cookies. That's shocking that there's only two of these facilities. Are they, are they around you at least in Jersey? Are they somewhere else? No, we actually produced in Idaho. And that was probably one of our biggest challenges in getting the business off the ground because they get to be really selective in who they work with because there's a ton of food start of submerging and there's only a couple of places that can make these super allergy friendly products. Sure, that's tough.


Hello everybody and welcome to Think Tech Hawai'i's human humane architecture show. I am this program's co-host, the Soto Brown from Bishop Museum here in Honolulu. And joining us from Germany, his native homeland is this program's actual host, Martin Despang. Martin, are you there? There he is. I am. Bright and early. Bright and early your time. Hello. Afternoon for us. And today we're going to be talking about horizontal high rises. What are those? Let's jump into the first picture here and see. And see. Okay. Well if you look down that street. So let's stroll a little bit by. Mm-hmm. I was going to say. That's Bethel Street right? That's Bethel Street. If you look down Bethel Street you think that it's just a normal downtown street but as you pointed out, next picture. There's something weird in the distance here on next picture. There it is. Wow. A little blurry, I presume, but it's a big thing. So let's go to the next slide already. So here it is. There's the city and then there's the ship. That's right.  It's not like in Speed 2 with Sandra Bullock which we reference at the top where a cruise ship runs into the city. Here it's sort of a friendly and peaceful coexistence between architecture and cruise industry. And there's a whole tradition about that that we want to start out with. Let's go to the next slide. And this is our tropical tourism expert, Suzanne, when she was on the island first which is almost two decades ago, almost exactly two decades ago and we were just cleaning out her basement and found this postcard here which dates back to 1999. And here you can see the downtown skyline pretty much the way it is today. And we see something in the foreground to the left which is one of these cruise ships. But they don't look quite the way they look these days, so to right. You're pointing this out. No, they do not. They look quite different. So let's go to the next slide. Yeah. And again, you open your treasure box to your archive for these beautiful impressions from the past. And here we can already see revealing that there is a company met who was basically starting this business amongst other competitors, as you said, but they were the main ones and the most successful ones. And here you can see how they're like portraying this sort of mode of transportation as being very flamboyant, very exclusive, we were seeing before the show we were preparing, right? Because this wasn't for everyone. This was for very few people, privileged people, not only money-wise, but also time-wise, right? Yes, exactly. Because it took four days to get here and then it took four days to get back to the West Coast. You had eight to ten days just of transit time before you spent any time here in the Hawaiian Islands. And that meant that the only people who could take a ship vacation had a lot of free time. Well, I look curious. Let's jump to the next image here.  These big, big things come in and out and, you know, people don't really recognize or pay any attention that way back. And we can also see something sticking out. And since the show is called, Haudenosaunee's Horizontal Eye Rise is here, we can see a vertical eye rise. And let's go to the next page, please, here. Next slide. Referencing to a show you did not that long ago. You pointed out that Aloha Taua was, in fact, the first eye rise on the island. Absolutely. That's right. And it was the tallest building in the Hawaiian Islands for quite some years from the time it opened in 1926 up until the middle 1950s. At 10 stories, it was the biggest building there was. And then in contradiction, it's sort of vertical version of that, sorry, horizontal version of that we can see at the bottom right where the big cruise ships were docking at the pier that they built next to it. And let's move on to the next picture where, again, we see the these ships coming in and we see that beside the Aloha Taua, downtown Honolulu is pretty horizontal, is pretty like two, three story buildings the most. So these ships were really, really, you know, dominant and dominating the skyline, right? Absolutely. And I think one of the things that wasn't really a skyline yet, yeah, it wasn't a skyline. But I think something that we're going to come up to again is how many people were on these ships. There were more people on these ships than there were in most of those downtown buildings because the ship carried more people than were in the office buildings at the time. Well, that's a fascinating point. Next picture here. And again, the sort of fascination or obsession or fetishization with this sort of new means of transportation then also led to these very intriguing artist renderings here all hand drawn at that time because computer wasn't around yet. That's right, yeah. So they were sort of, they were, we were saying they were romanticizing this sort of new technology of boats not running on wind anymore. The term trade winds comes from the sort of the more pre-contact or, you know, early post-contact trades when they were setting sails at the Pacific Northwest and because of the wind direction coming from the northeast, we're able to sail straight down, right? That's right. And these are two pieces of music. These are songs that have to do all the way, of course, associated with ships leaving. And then this other one is just using this wonderful vision of downtown Honolulu and Alloa Tower with the ship steaming towards right towards where we're talking about. And let's move on because you have more in your treasure box from these beautiful renderings portraying this sort of exotic obsession with this very tropical island, which you can access with this sort of modern technology at that time. Absolutely, with Alloa Tower, again, reappearing. Next slide. There's another great one we thought because it's sort of juxtaposing, you know, new technology, you know, being big with sort of pre-contact, being small and the canoe and, you know, being wind-powered as we talked before, while the steam ship is obviously running with flexible fuel, which way back one was very more excited about than these days because in the meanwhile, we've found out that it's not, you know, as beautiful as you might think in the long run about what it caused us to the planet. Move on to the next slide. Again, from your archive, these postcards where Manson was celebrating, again, what they had, and you pointed out that especially the one on the left and probably the previous picture as well, they're really sort of super imposed and they're sort of meant to look bigger than they actually already were, right? Correct, and this is something that... You were making a reference to my culture, right? In the past. Yes, I was, because this type of depiction of ships, passenger ships, is looking huge and heroic and beautiful as these modern technological marvels is something that appeared in a lot of advertising during the pre-war period, especially, and that's true not only of the United States and coming to the Hawaiian Islands but in Europe as well and Germany was a major builder of ships and had a number of major shipping companies and so travel posters from Germany used the same type of idiom of this magnificent ship coming towards the viewer to emphasize its speed, its size, and its technological advancement. Yeah, and certainly not so beautiful as the part of my culture in the past.  So again, that was the German, you know, the crazy German wave and yes, as you said, all over the world where the 30s were very heroic, there was a lot of pathos in there, you know, a lot of pride, a lot of nationalists, you know, feelings and so again, America was showing off its power and as you said, you know, they were quite, you told me I didn't know that they were actually faster than the military ships. Yes, they were, yes they were. So during World War II, all of the mats and ships in the Pacific got taken over by the US Navy and they traveled all around the world for the military and those passenger ships, the mats and ships were so much faster than any of the military ships, they never could travel with any other military ships trying to protect them during the war because they'd go faster. So they really were technological marvels which nobody at the time had thought about as being useful for war purposes, but in fact, that's what ended up happening. Very interesting, so next picture and again, the reference at the top right is that at that time it didn't take much longer for the aviation industry to basically take over and that's what we have today. So the cruise ship industry is sort of marginalized and rather small compared to airplanes and big jumbos and airplanes bringing most people to our Hawaiian islands these days. While way back it was in fact, these sort of cruise ships. Absolutely. And as they were portraying here, Hawaii too, from Los Angeles and again, you said, you know, it took quite a while, but way back that was the fastest way to get there. That was, that was right. So four days, four days, five days, that's what it took to get here as opposed to one plane trip that takes part of a day. Yeah, next slide. Again, let's go back to our days here and contemplate a little bit sort of what relevance these things have in our sort of contemporary Honolulu and project maybe that could be useful in some way, a different way for the future, for the problems and challenges we have on our islands these days. So this is just us, you know, on a routine daily day in Honolulu when you get off one of the side streets that are, you know, approaching them at highway here and you see them. And again, they're now almost like two or three times as tall as they were way back because we see the shipping terminal, which we talked about in a minute here, in the foreground, in the background, you see that monster, you know, with stacked floors and housing tons of people which we're going to quantify in a little bit. So let's go to the next slide. And we're going to talk about the issues with these things and we were saying, you know, it sort of, you live very contained for quite a while. So this is a screenshotting CNN report not that long ago about an epidemic breaking out on one of these ships.  So basically pretty much everyone gets sick. That happens every now and then. Yeah, it does. And next picture, other things happen. And obviously, you know, talking big and megalomonia and suprasizing, the Titanic was obviously, is the epitome of that. And it took a tragic sort of end, as we know. You would think people would then learn from that and maybe stay smaller, but suprasizing keeps on going. Currently, the biggest cruise ship has this German article at the top right. And this is your weekly German lesson. Was that article say to Soto? Well, I figured out it says the biggest cruise ship in the world. And then I believe you told me it's being built in that place in Germany, whatever place that is. Yeah, that's in Wismar. That's a coastal town here. And they say in the article that as of now, the largest one is the harmony of the sea. And that's a proud American ship. And it houses six and a half thousand people. Now that the next superpower might be someone else, so China is catching up. And so they have commissioned the next largest ship that houses almost 10,000 people, nine and a half thousand guests on it. And it's in fact being built by Germans in this sort of traditional shipmaking place close to the North Sea, which is part of the Atlantic, which is where the Titanic sank, right? And you have some family relationship to that tragic accident, right? My grandmother's uncle and cousin, first cousin were both killed on the ground on the Titanic because they were both men. And so they gave up their seats in the lifeboat to women and then they went down with the ship. Gentleman. Gentleman. Gentleman they were. Self-sacrificing. Remembering for that, always and forever. Yeah, thank you for sharing. So next slide. And to these days, things like that, this is again Tropical Tourist expert Suzanne in her native Bavaria here. This is our most prominent newspaper that you can buy nationally, the Southern German magazine here and the title story not that long ago was this sort of Norwegian cruise ship that got into trouble because there was a big storm and you remember the engines basically were out and so they were just like floating there amongst the full forces of nature. Right. Yes, that's right. It's not always fun on a cruise ship. No. And next picture. There's tragedies on different levels. I mean, the previous one were on big scale epidemic and getting into problems with storms. But also, there's an un-proportional high number of personal tragedies on cruise ships. And I was throwing in this here as a reference or a contribution from my culture and you being the good investigator, you looked this up and what did you find? Well, I discovered that this man who disappeared from the ship was a singer who became popular in a German TV show that's kind of like, you know, they come a star type of thing. America's super star. Yeah, exactly. And ironically enough that this ship that has this great big happy smiling red lips on the front of it, he jumped off of it and the ship was off the coast of Canada and the ocean was too cold for him to have survived even if he wanted to. So as you said, here's a personal single tragedy as opposed to a mass tragedy. That's right. And then switching subject back to architecture to the red on the white body of the ship reminded you of something that we go to the next slide here that while cruise ships are for the very obvious reasons of speed, streamline, architecture in the same era of the 1930s and then later 40s and 50s with these glorious industrial designers like Norman Belgett is or Raymond Lowey basically started the streamline buildings as well. So the building at the top you contributed, you know, the Coca-Cola building has these attributes of obviously white and then horizontal lines and then the typical for ships round windows in it. But also we, I always when I drive by I find a very streamlined which is the building at the bottom which is the Department of Transportation and the Harvard Division and that's basically the front end of that cruise ship terminal that we were talking about before. And you reminded us with impressions from your archive how that looked previous to this condition that we still have and let's bring the next slide up and tell us a little about it. Well, originally the docks that were at the base of Aloha Tower were here's eight, nine, 10 and 11 and they were all built in the middle 1920s and originally Pier 11 extended all the way up to Queen Street and that's what you see in the picture in the upper left. Then in 1952 Nimitz Highway was constructed and they actually went through that part of that part of the terminal of Pier 11 so they actually cut it off so that's what you can see in those two aerial photographs that part of the building being cut off and then the streamlined part being built in 1952 and in the top picture there's an inset to the right of it that you can see there's the maths and smokestack peeking over the top of the pier and you can compare that for the ships of that time period to what the ships look like today in the pictures you've just seen and how much bigger they are. Exactly and that makes us jump to the next picture here and sort of slowly but surely phasing up and concluding in the show with some polemic propositions here and returning to Tropical Tourist expert Suzanne here who's always interested in the sort of exotic erotic aspect of what draws people to Hawaii and what the tourist industry does to sort of foster and fuel that sort of dream and telling these dreams and here is obviously the exotic is the local girls that, you know, tan skin and it surfers and it's palm trees and it lays and all of that and more and this is what Mets was dwelling upon quite heavily in the past. Yes, it was. So next slide. And these days unfortunately there is not so much left of that I really love that postcard on the left talking Art Deco and Streamline, the typeface and everything is sort of portraying that but when you go through our contemporary downtown Honolulu and Oahu and the White Islands in general not much of that is left nor look the cruise ships elegant anymore but again, where there's a correlation between architecture and the cruise ships the cruise ships were elegant way back and architecture wasn't a century which we always point out also in the parallel Doka-Momo shows but buildings, high rises or nor cruise ships don't look that elegant anymore these days and I get sent to Mendel often so there's this catamaran here in the front on the right picture that I was mistaking for Henry J, one of Henry J Kaiser's catamaran and you and Don Avery taught me it's not this is in fact from the 70s but at least it has a tiki statue there that actually we're gonna do another show about this tiki we call it tiki toke and so you guys be excited about that one so next slide here there is, you know these days you can't get around looking at the environmental impact of things in architecture we make this a driving force in the project that we're proposing that we call Primitivas and in one of the previous slides we forgot to point out that when it comes to emissions cruise ships are actually worse than airplanes that we know are already bad so here we took this picture with a ship sort of neatly nestling in nature but in fact when it comes to its carbon footprint it's quite the opposite so let's go to the next slide and this is all permanent background that we choose that so romantically almost in a silly naive way portrays how these ships come in and the locals and the water but again in fact when we go to the next slide reality is different I used to have a place here at the North Sea at this is at the city of Cooke's Hoffman which is sort of the entry of the river Elby leading to the large harbor hundreds of city of Hamburg and they were rebooting the basically the Queen Mary so which is like the modern version of the Titanic and that one is coming in from New York over the Atlantic Ocean heading to Hamburg here and I did in the previous show days of urban transcendence I had Annette Kröhe walk us through a new neighborhood that we compared to Pacaaco we call the show Hamburg's Harbor City Germany's Pacaaco and so we're pointing out similarities between the two so if you go to the next slide we pointed out a project where architecture sort of took advantage of the large carbon footprint of these cruise ships because the Queen Mary because of the Queen Mary there's the project left of the ship at the bottom and that's called the Marco Polo Tower and the Unilever building by Danish architect and they propose a double facade to basically get the fresh air from a duct that's underground and it takes it in from further away the clean air so the people who work in the offices can actually open the window and breathe fresh air which they couldn't if they would be sort of unprotected they'd be exposed to the smokestack of the Queen Mary that's quite scary, right? So next picture so if we think what that means for our paradise and sort of there's hope here where the industry, the ship industry is looking into a sort of innovating the tradition of wind powered and we assume here it's not direct as in the old days with a wind blowing into the sail but it's wind turbines that run the generator and create the electricity or the power to run the ship so there's some hope on that on that end we were pointing out in the ABA we should show that algae might be a fuel for airplanes so we could grow that thanks to our climate on Hawaii and basically fuel our own airplanes hopefully in the future next slide and again two of your beautiful postcards again romantic, romantic, the cruise ships and how can we bring back romanticism but maybe not in a sentimental way next picture because our problems on the island are different these days and I want to share here a recent trip I did to the most exotic island in Europe that's as far south as you can get at the island of Malta and you pointed out that the skyline looks quite like the one that we had in these pioneering days in way back but not like the ones that we have today and in fact next slide the combination of pictures here I was there with my son and daughter-in-law who are venturing out for a cosmopolitan culinary adventure there on the island of Malta and on the airplane I found this magazine that was telling that there are 30 towers on the on the Maltese islands and this is historic towers and what you see here in the pictures on the left as desperately as we're trying in Honolulu we're trying to make vertical housing but not always do we do a good job architecturally in Honolulu these days we did meet sensory which we point out and celebrate but not so much these days anymore and not so much in Malta unfortunately these days next picture and this is me flying to Malta and you see the whole island it's a little bit sort of reverse where the urban part is in the north of the city of Malta and to the south is basically where the industrial and the harbor area is and where this sort of cartoon basically shows the cruise ship here docking and go to the next slide and here this is their place very gritty nice Mediterranean scenery and from the rooftops which they by the way are heavily sort of inhabiting the people there you can see the cruise scenario and the cruise panoramic being quite there and quite in front of your face next picture which you might think is a bad thing but this one here is an urban piazza here where you can see it sort of neatly fits in and doesn't look like something like an eyesore that usually you want to sort of keep away from tourists but here it seems to be a good symbiosis between urban life and this sort of technology that we seem to need to live and survive comfortable on remote islands so we conclude with a polemic proposition now with our concluding slide here next one and last one where we're saying we've been looking into not just cruise ships but also cargo ships quite a bit and we've been proposing to do housing out of them and not just on land but here we're referring to again a previous show from Urban Transcendent with Hans Lave who many consider to be the pope of shipping container architecture and he in fact grows with his students in the very first textbook about it and he also built which you can see in the centerpiece here for the International Building Exhibition in Hamburg he built this sort of floating pontong in the water with shipping containers so we're saying with the dramatic shortage of affordable housing we have on the islands and that we're struggling to build on the islands and if we're not doing it the best way maybe then another way would be to build another city in front of the city and be used I mean cruise ships are pretty much floating hotels or floating apartments to begin with right but they seem to need to go away and come back while containers often are out commissioned and put out of service so maybe you keep them on out commissioned ships and you build sort of a neighborhood you space model a little bit more and people can live and floating around St. Island That's right So that's just another weird idea that we have to use this sort of typology to maybe help our urgent pressing needs on the island which is first and foremost again housing for the many who can't really afford it anymore Well that brings us to the end of the program today and hope you enjoyed Honolulu's horizontal high rises floating horizontal high rises Martin will be back in the near future I'll be back in the near future for more Think Tech shows and until then everybody thank you for watching Aloha Bye bye

This is the VOA Special English Health Report. Dementia is the loss of mental abilities caused by brain disorders that affect memory, thinking, behavior, and judgment. The most common cause of dementia, especially in older people, is Alzheimer's disease. It causes up to 70% of dementia cases. Worldwide, an estimated 36 million people are living with dementia. A new report predicts that number will increase to more than 115 million by 2050. The report is from the World Health Organization and Alzheimer's Disease International. The number of cases in the heavily populated developing world is expected to grow as more people live longer. The report says more than half of those with dementia now live in low and middle income countries. This number is likely to rise to more than 70% by 2050. People are living longer because of better healthcare and increasing wealth. But the report says dementia is not a normal part of growing old. Shakar Saxena is the Director of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Research at the WHO. He says dementia is often not recognized. It is commonly mistaken for an age-related decline in functioning, because it can mimic age-related problems. And also, it progresses slowly. Even in high-income countries, only one-fifth to one-half of the cases of dementia are routinely recognized. This percentage is much lower than the number of cases in low-income countries. Martin Prince is a professor at King's College, London. He says many people wrongly believe that dementia and Alzheimer's Disease are not problems in poorer countries. He says findings from recent studies in Western Africa conflict with the belief that Alzheimer's Disease is rare on the continent. There are fewer older people because life expectancy is shorter. But among people who live to old age, he says, rates of dementia look quite similar to high-income countries. The WHO says treating and caring for people with dementia currently costs the world $600 billion a year. That includes the reduction of earnings for people with dementia and their caregivers. The agency calls for greater efforts to identify dementia early and to educate the public and provide better care. Dementia may be incurable, but health officials say much can be done to improve the lives of people who have it and support their families and caregivers.

Make your next carton, Lucky Strike. Be happy, go Lucky, go Lucky Strike. Strike program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Rochester, Dennis Dane, and yours truly, don't worry. Ladies and gentlemen, once again we're broadcasting from Palm Springs, California. This being such a romantic spot, I'd like to make the opening introduction with a little poem. A poem?  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking, and Don, since we're in a poetic mood, I've written a poem for you, too. Oh, you have? Yes. I did not like your jingle, and if one more joke you tell, it's Bon Voyage, Don Wilson, and welcome home, Von Zell. Let's not have any more of your poems, eh, Henry Wadsworth, fat fellow? Now wait a minute, Jack, if you get fresh with me, I'll follow you around all day and keep you in the shade. Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry. Well, anyway, sure good to get back to Palm Springs, isn't it, Don? Ah, yes, Jack, I always have a wonderful time here. I do, too, particularly because a fellow can have such privacy here.  Really? Well, Jack, why were there such a crowd gathered? They were getting Eddie Candor's autograph. Imagine. But Jack, if you say people here have so much privacy, why did they ask Eddie Candor for his autograph? They didn't ask him. Hmm, they didn't? No. Don, when a man stops you on the street, sings two choruses of Ida, then stamps his name on your forehead, there's nothing you can do about it. What an eager beaver. Ah, Jack, you're just mad at Eddie because he beat you on the golf course yesterday. Sure, but he wouldn't have beaten me if he had played fair. Fair? Yes, imagine this, Don, when we both got on the last green, just as I was getting ready to puck, he put down a dime to mark his ball. What's wrong with that? He divided my point of interest. Then when I missed the putt, I got so mad, I took a swing at the dime and sliced it right into my pocket. The first hole in one I ever made. Anyway, Don, I'm glad you mentioned golf, because tonight our program is dedicated to the formal opening of the new Tamaris Country Club here in Palm Springs. And it's really one of the most beautiful golf... No, don't. But does this dull, twosome mind if a funny man plays through? Oh, hiya, folks. Well, look who's here, Sir Thomas Beecham. Say, Phil, Don and I were just talking about Tamaris, the beautiful new golf course. Since you're such a good golfer, Phil, you'll love it. Yeah, I know, Jackson. I played in the tournament out there yesterday. It is. It's a great course. I thought I saw you out there yesterday.  No. Well, I saw Remle, Sammy and Fletcher going around the course with you. Yeah, but they weren't playing. And Remle was carrying my bag. Well, what was Sammy doing? He was carrying Remle. Well, what was Fletcher doing? He was carrying the stuff that made it necessary for Sammy to carry Remle. Yes, Remle is your handicap. He ain't no water hazard.  Okay, Phil, maybe we can make a match. Yeah, what do you usually go around then? Well, my handicap is... Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hey, Don. Watch me get them this time. Phil, ask me that again, will you? Ask you what again? What do you usually go around in? Shorts or slats, depending on the weather. They may be carrying Remle, but you're carrying this program. Phil, if that joke is carrying the program, I'd rather drag it a little bit. Anyway, I'll play golf with you any time you want to. Okay, Jackson, how much you want to bet? I don't want to bet anything. All I want you to do is, every time we get on the green, mark your ball with a dime. Don, why? I got a slice that'll make me a fortune. Say, Don, if you like to play at Tamaris sometime, I'll get you a... Hey, Jackson, I heard you and Don reciting poetry before. So what? Hey, I got one that's a fifth. A poem? Yeah, yeah. It's about the weather that we had yesterday. Listen to this. I was getting some sun, then I went inside, because the little white cloud sat down and cried. Very good, you know, I expected some... Oh, hello, Dennis. Hello, Mr. Benny. Hello, everybody. Well, Dennis, I hope you're having as much fun in Palm Springs as we are. I sure am, but boy, am I tired. Tired? What have you been doing? Well, last night I went to the movies and I had a stand for two hours. That crowded, huh? No, there was plenty of room. Then why'd you have to stand in the movies? I went to a drive-in and I didn't have a car. Now, wait a minute, Dennis, how did you get into a drive-in without a car? Oh, I was carrying an umbrella and they thought I was a convertible. Oh, stop being silly. What's that on your nose? A windshield wiper. Now, cut. Close that thing on your forehead as your license number. No, Eddie, can't his autograph. Oh, yeah.  Are you having a good time? Oh, I'll say, Friday night I went to the Cheechee and saw Sally Rand. I never left so hard in all my life. You know, Don, the weather here has been so beautiful today. I think I may... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hold it. Go back here a minute. Look. Didn't you listen to what this kid just said? I listened to it, heard it, and ignored it. Well, I ain't gonna ignore it. Dennis, you went to the Cheechee and saw Sally Rand's act? Uh-huh. The Sally Rand? Uh-huh. And when you finally saw Sally Rand's act, you, uh, laughed? Yeah, I was sitting up so close, those fans tickled. Look to me for sympathy, girl. Years of experience. Years of experience that taught me that the only way to get along with Dennis have nothing more to do with him than is necessary, like this, for instance. Now, Dennis, we're doing a program and you have to do a song. Yes, sir. What song are you going to sing? The date boats are coming. You mean shrimp boats? This is Palm Springs, bud. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, I don't mind so much when we're at home, but when we're out of town, let's don't be making insult and remarks about the orchestra, huh? Well, Phil, I got a right to make comments about your band after who's the star of this show. Well, when I see my paycheck, I know it ain't me. Oh, stop complaining. I'm not complaining, Jackson. It's just that I'd like to pay income tax like everybody else.  Such a long line for such a little laugh. With me about money, salary, all right. Come in. Mr. Ketzel, it's certainly nice seeing you. What are you doing here in Palm Springs? Oh, I just came down for a little visit. Oh, good, good. Where are you living? At the Hacienda Peseo de la Sal. The Hacienda Peseo de la Sal? Sal is my brother-in-law. He's married to your sister? Yeah, her name is Hacienda. Well, what about Peseo? He's a silent partner. Oh, I see. Well, tell me, Mr. Ketzel, is your wife, your wife is here with you? Yes, and we having fun. We go swimming. We play tennis. And you know this morning my wife rented a bicycle built for two.  No, sir. Then why did she get a bicycle built for two? Believe me, she can use it. Mr. Ketzel, you mean your wife is on the heavy side? If it was only on the side, I wouldn't mind. What's the difference? As long as you're in love with her, Mr. Ketzel, that's all that matters. That's what I keep telling myself. Oh, Mr. Ketzel, thanks for dropping in. Well, it seems that everybody's in Palm Springs this week. You know, Jack, I'm glad I'm here too, because I did some research on this community that I'm sure will please our sponsor very much. Please a sponsor-wide. Well, what's the name of the company that makes lucky strike cigarettes? The American Tobacco Company. That's right. Now, who were the earliest Americans in America? Why, the Indians, of course. That's right. Now, here around Palm Springs, there are many Indians. So, yesterday I went out in the desert until I met some members of the tribe that first settled Palm Springs. The Kauila Indians. The Kauilas? Yes, and do you know what those Indians said to me? No, Don, what? Oh, for heaven's sake. What else do they say, Don? Me, like them, lucky strike. Me, send them smoke signals. L.S., M.F.T.M. L.S., M.F.T.M. T.M.?  Now look, Don. No call me Don. Me, heap big Indian chief. You big heap, that's all. And I got another word here. They send them signals from reservation. They only find tobacco, can't give them good taste in cigarette. And don't let any drum tell you different. Don, that was very good. What are those horses hooves? Commercial finish. Take them plugged back to reservation. And Don, that was a very educational commercial, but you made one little mistake. It was the Tokwits Indians who founded Palm Springs, not the Kauilas. Oh no, you're wrong, Jack. It was the Kauilas. I'm not wrong, Don. I'll prove that I'm right. There happened to be quite a few Indians in the audience, so I'll ask one of them. I'll ask that one in the front row. He must be a chief. He's wearing a headdress. Excuse me, but was it the Tokwits Indians or the Kauilas who founded Palm Springs? I don't know. What tribe do you belong to? I don't know. Well, where's your reservation? I don't know. You don't know anything.  I'm not an Indian. Then how come you're wearing those feathers in your hair? I went to the cheat sheet last night and sat too close.  Hey, that was pretty funny, wasn't it, Dennis? I don't know. I'll get it. Hello? I have a long-distance call for Jack Benny. This is Jack Benny. It's Collect. Hello? Hello? I'm here. I'm here. Operator, find out who's calling. Just a moment. Mr. Benny will not accept the charges until he knows who's calling. Tell him it's Lamatterty. Rochester. Rochester, I thought you'd be down here by now. Where are you calling from? From Pomona. Pomona, what'd you stop there for? I got a flat tire. Oh, that's too bad. No, that's good. It was laying in the road and it's better than the one we had on. Here by morn, I'm going to play golf and I want you to caddy for me.  Stop complaining. Tamarisk is a very level course. There's nothing tough about it. Nothing for you, but how about me? I have to carry a golf, a classic of the sandwiches, a gallon of lemonade. So what? You don't need a caddy. You need a burrow.

Well, some of the boys at the club cooked up an idea that I'm sure you're going to like. What is it? Well, we decided to form a quartet and sing the song you wrote. My song? Mm-hmm. When you say I beg your pardon, then I'll come back to you. Suddenly, I'm sick. Anyway, Jack, the other three fellas are out outside. Can I call them in? Three fellas, who are they? Yeah. Well, Frank Sinatra, George Burns, and Groucho Mark. That's brilliant dialogue. The show, fellas, and if you say the magic word, you get a bottle of suntan oil. Jack, that reminds me. Huh? Jack? What? That reminds me. Huh? That bottle of suntan oil you saw me was much too greasy, and boy was I embarrassed. Why? What happened? Well, yesterday when I put some on, I slipped right out of my suit. So kidding.  Okay? Okay. Well, I say I beg your pardon. Me, me, me, me, me, me. I may sing lousy, but I'm grammatically correct. I'm sorry. I'm Groucho. Jack's song. And, fellas, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your coming over to do it. No one but real friends, real pals who would give up a Sunday afternoon just to come over here and do this wonderful song. Jack. What?  All right, fellas, let's take it.

The instances then deliver Novak to a local hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Novak tells him that, just because you helped me, doesn't mean I'm going to let you get away with anything. Then promises to investigate him and expose any corruption he finds. The instances tell him that they would welcome this. A montage didn't depict scenes from the next 13 months of Novak's life, unsuccessful medical procedures, reconciliation with political and professional foes, and the publication of his final column, in which he reluctantly states that he was unable to find any evidence of malpheans from those three moons' bastards.


Type II diabetes, T2DM, Alzheimer's disease, AD, and insulin resistance are all age-related conditions which have been linked by recent research. It has been found that insulin resistance and impaired insulin signaling may contribute to the progression of these diseases. Additionally, it has been discovered that Alzheimer's disease, AD, shares similarities with type II diabetes, T2DM. Both diseases are characterized by reduced insulin secretion and or action, leading to altered glucose and lipid metabolism and elevated levels of certain compounds in the blood. These findings suggest that there may be a shared underlying mechanism for the development and progression of both diseases. This article was authored by Giuseppe Verdile, Kevin N. Keen, Vinicius F.
