I got to rearrange myself. I put the camera back in the wrong place. All right. So this morning, we have a lot of stuff going on. But we have somebody waiting in the green room. So why don't we bring her over and talk to her? Hey, do you want to come over and join us? Let's see. This is the coolest thing. Let's do this. This is Mellie Alexander. And she has, she's not a wiki tree yet, but you know what? She's going to be a wiki tree. She has the cool thing. The DNA chef. Tell us exactly what that is. All right. Speak up. All right. Can you guys hear? And that's Betsy. Hi Betsy. The DNA chef is a company that I'm starting a field of expertise. I call culinary genealogy. And so pretty much it's taking the principles of food and genealogy together and helping people with their family history through family recipes and just kind of like the history of their food for their ancestors. Appalachian project. Do you hear this? Yeah. Somebody who's starting a business about our genealogy and recipes. Oh, I see Chris is on the line. Hi Chris. I actually sent him to see me. He said go. He said go to wiki tree and name check me.  And we said come and be on the live cast and we'll talk about it. So what inspired you to do this? So I was always a foodie ever since I was little. And there's a little bit of a tiny story I can share really quick. I lived in New York City when I was little. And I'm half Jewish. So I'm obsessed with Chinese food. Chinese food? It's a New York Jewish thing. New York Jews love Chinese food. Oh no, Christmas Day. Christmas Day. Absolutely. And so I remember one time when I was living in the Bronx I said dad, I want to be Chinese. I kid you not. There was a song about it. No, that was Japanese. I was like why do you want to be Chinese? And I said well I want to eat Chinese food every day. Every day. I took a walk once a week. I have a New York City style Chinese food is my absolute favorite. It's not particularly authentic but that's what I grew up on. And you can also find that in Connecticut probably a little bit of Rhode Island, New Jersey of course and even Georgia. I was so obsessed with Chinese food that's how I wanted it. So one of the things that we've got going on and Azure is in here, Azure Robinson we're working on a wiki tree cookbook. So what is your favorite recipe that you would add as a brand new wiki tree or to the wiki tree cookbook? I would add my grandmother's recipe it's this curry shrimp dish. You have to keep in mind she's from New Brunswick, Canada. Oh You're in there. Ding, ding, ding, ding. She's like Exactly, that was the best. Here's your write this down ready? Okay, so she normally would over cook everything because it's kind of the English Scottish thing. So but the holidays she would make this curry shrimp dish rice eroni, chicken rice eroni I kid you not. She somehow figured out taking a box of chicken rice eroni a can of like mushrooms like my mushrooms. Appalachian project of doing canned food. Yeah. You know we had all these box goods and shrimp and she had some curry powder to it and my family went bananas for it. The rice is perfectly cooked the shrimp is perfectly cooked it's not too spicy. It has the perfect amount of just everything together. She's not giving us the recipe ingredients. Does this mean we have to wait for her to actually join? That's what I'm thinking. Okay, so this very yellow with cooking her up Thank you so much for stopping by. And it is the DNA chef. My question is how does the DNA work in the chef? Is it because it's in our genes? Is it because we eat so much we don't fit in our genes? The genealogy connection to food and also the fact that I'm also a chef I graduated culinary school with honors and I love genealogy so much and I wanted to come up with a really cool name and the DNA chef just like and I'm just going to run with it. Yeah well we have these thons and we always talk about the stacks we're eating to try because we stay up for 72 hours straight we work on week three. We're always talking about what our energy foods are so thank you so much and we look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Absolutely thank you guys so much. Thank you by Chris Thanks Bye I'm going to try and stand up sit up really tall so I'm taller than There we go See I'm not short No They called me short the other day when we did a live cast from the booth they said oh we didn't know Max was so short Oh no That's funny So we're going to move on real quick Betsy you're good to stay for the whole show? Yeah I can say So we're going to move really on quickly here now we're going to talk about the question of the week Let's see if Greg Yeah There we go So the question of the week this week is do you have any feuds in your family tree?  I don't think I have anything I have a lot of things I don't think I have any flexes See everybody There's that guy that this one's a story and we need to go back and be live but you need to tell that story go to the wiki tree go to the GGG and any questions do you have any feuds in your family go online So the question of the week we've got 40 answers for the question of the week and somebody's already answered So the best answer was by Janet Gunn and the person who did it was Doyle Keith he says it is 13th great grandfather Browner Gunn what a great name for somebody that was involved in the feud between the guns and the keys for 500 years by sometime in the early 1400s to gall the chieftain of the keys abducted Helen oh there's always a Helen oh yes you know those Helen's are always bad things Helen of Braymore daughter of Lachlan Gunn on the eve of her marriage to Alexander Gunn he imprisoned her in Ackerhildt tower I'm pronouncing this stuff you're very good Ackerhildt tower where she committed suicide or they committed suicide by jumping off the top of the tower anyway it's crazy so this is the one that's been voted best I'm gonna say what I always say go through and upvote these give those some upvotes go through and upvote those case miss says that thanks to genealogy I'm learning about them now I had a great uncle who lived 90 miles from me 50 years and I never met him I'm thinking something was a miss I had an aunt and uncles who never spoke to one another my entire life that I know of I just assume I came from a typical dysfunctional family we put the fun in family dysfunctional every time I go by a meeting hall with an empty parking lot I assume there's a scheduled meeting for the functional family what's going on let's see Eric Bane says the last will and testament in 1887 of his great great grandfather he planned to leave his entire estate to his spinster daughter he writes that his sons were able to support themselves and that his daughter would not so he left my house some time ago and took with her or otherwise disposed of my household furniture of any value yikes so she took off with stuff I guess she was afraid that's right if I die I'm not leaving you anything Greg oh no and that can be our feud so there's some other good ones this one this photo Sarah's not here but we can say this is a photo this one is often a photo is worth a thousand words and this photo is one of those times my maternal grandmother Nellie Long kept a feud going with her older sister Lizzie to hear Nellie tell it it all began when Lizzie broke the head off of her doll oh my wow and Murph says that he doesn't like that no no the Phoebe and Lizzie they were only a half sister, Ma was pregnant when she married Pa you know those things happen so I'm not going to spend a lot of time going through the question Louis because it's kind of an awkward situation here but go through, read these stories this particular one had a lot of answers we got many here from Kentucky but she's not near us anywhere so we could ask her about her she claims there are none good thing but that last story reminds me my wife she had some favorite dolls but her cousins who lived just down the street some boy cousins would often grab her dolls and bury them or do stuff that's crazy boys boys will be boys nope, it didn't cause a feud they still that was a beautiful picture though I mean that was I like that so is the person looking off in the opposite direction the one who had the feud did she break the head off no so go check out the check check another week go and check out the question of the week put your answer in and we'll explore them more deeply as we do that in the next few weeks I'm going to turn this over to madam in New York right now, Betsy what

over the Cubs or not the Cubs oh did I say it wrong it's Chicago White Sox here uh here let me just quick go let me correct that error if I uh you know that is a big difference oh I know I'm stating can I use that as my excuse no I was right it is Chicago Cubs oh my goodness but that means doesn't that mean that the father and son had uh rival baseball teams yeah if he did the White Sox yeah the

Fiss who is the son of Alexander Dumas Pierre so in French or at least in one point in French instead of junior and senior they use Fiss which means son and Pierre which means father to denote the junior senior so the Fiss is the son so his father was the Alexander Dumas Pierre so this Alexander son of the Pierre and also of Marie Rilar Catherine so Alexander Dumas Pierre the father is the one who wrote Three Musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo and a bunch of other work stuff this one the Fiss also wrote some works the most famous is La Dame au Camilla which in English is the lady of the

Welcome to the show Lillian's Vegan World, I'm your host Lillian Cumick and we're here to talk about all the wonderful and fascinating things about the vegan and plant-based diet. So I have a very, very awesome show ahead and before that I would like to thank Think Tech Hawaii for letting us use their beautiful studio. We are collecting donations this month through to next month. Everything helps and we can keep these really awesome shows going for you. So please go to thinktech.com if you would like to make a donation. I also accept bottles of very nice champagne. Again welcome. Today I have a really, really awesome guest that I have been very much looking forward to meeting. So let's welcome both of them to the show. Pony Askew, welcome and your awesome son Makana Askew, thank you so much for joining us today. Thanks for having us. So Pony I met you just recently last month and you had something very interesting to tell me so I knew that I had to get to you on the show and my friends and family have been excited for this particular episode. So first of all Pony may I ask you to introduce yourself just tell us a little bit about what you do here in beautiful Honolulu. Yes. So my name is Pony Askew, we're best known for street grinds. We are the producers of local events in Hawaii and work with a lot of small business owners to produce the events and other than that I'm Makana's mom and we're here to talk about our exciting journey that we've been on as a family today and so today I'm Makana's mom. Yes, Makana welcome to the show Aloha, Aloha. So I heard from your mother that you became vegan recently or how long ago was it? About a year and a half ago. Okay, so before that prior to that you were just a regular, a regular kid eating regular food. Yeah. Okay, so you have to tell us what happened that made you change the way you eat. Yeah, well I watched this show called What the Health and then just talked about how meat and dairy products and all animal products really affect our bodies and how animals are treated. So just the next day I decided, you know what I'm going to be a vegan. And it's that simple, if only adults could think that way. That's so interesting. I also saw that documentary, it's an excellent documentary. May I ask, where did you see that? On Netflix. On Netflix. So you watched it in your home? What made you watch a documentary like that? It's kind of... I think we're just scrolling through some movies and we saw it and you know why not watch it. Yeah. Okay. How did you react to some of the things that you heard? I was really surprised. Just how they've been brainwashing us and saying, oh, meat's so good for you. It's really not. Yeah. Yeah. It's really not. And the good thing is that vegan food tastes really great too. Yeah. So we're not really missing... I'll be told the difference at all. Yeah. Excellent. So how old are you? I'm 14. 14, okay. So you watched this movie when you were about 12? This documentary? Just about. Yeah. Yeah. I turned in 13 somewhere in there. Okay. Who were you watching it with? Just my mom, my sister and my dad. Okay. And then what happened? So you... Did you turn around and say, mom? Yeah, I was just shocked so I woke up and I didn't want to eat any meat whatsoever. I'm like, I'm going to be a vegan. Wow. And you just stopped eating animal products altogether? Yeah. And then like just the next day we threw away all the animal products in our house.  I mean it was impressive to see the next morning he had written out a plan and he had a statement that he had written down in a book saying, I'm not eating meat anymore. Years and years and years ago I was a vegetarian and we were at the point of being pescatarian by the time we watched this documentary. And so it wasn't too difficult at that point for us to transition, although it was still a transition. Definitely. Especially for my husband who, you know, had never really tried a lifestyle other than the meat. Okay. Steak was a big one for him. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it would have been. Definitely. So I couldn't see why not after watching the documentary either, you know, why we shouldn't change our lifestyle. There was a lot of key health takeaways from that documentary and I think he was really impacted by the, in the documentary they equate cigarette smoking to egg yolks or to eggs and that really impacted him. I remember that specifically and so that I think that might have been one of the key motivating factors was the health first and then for him particularly recalling how the animals are treated and that sort of thing. And so yeah, we just said, okay, let's do it. And we did it. That's incredible. Actually a lot of people who, a lot of folks who did watch that documentary have reacted in a similar way. I think I remember when it first came out, everyone was going on about this new documentary that's turning people vegan and it was making some people very skeptical about this whole thing because it's really not a, it's not a program that is lying. Correct. So a lot of the stuff in the world, everything in that program is true. So I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying this new lifestyle. How's it going? Way better than actually eating meat. Yeah. So how's your family life going now as far as food? Do you all help cook or try new recipes and stuff? Yeah. Usually like it's at home with our nanny, I do lily. And I'm lily and so I could be your nanny if she had the tweets. Yeah. And then you won't forget my name. Yeah. It's been really helpful. We found a app called Emails. And the biggest question we have is how did you figure out how to eat vegan or cook vegan? And it is a change in everything that maybe you might have been raised to know. And so to have that support, which is basically a weekly menu plan that allows you to customize which ones you want and then go grocery shopping. And it's simple enough where they can cook most of the meals as well. And so that was I think key for us to transition was having just a resource that could really make it a little less research and just more jump in and do it. And so that part of it as far as a family has made it easier and these kids aren't afraid to get in the kitchen. Oh, awesome. So actually, Makana, you sent me some photos that show some of the stuff that you eat. Let's take a look at them. How about the first one? Oh, yeah. That doesn't even look vegan, does it? It just looks like a regular, you know, nice meal. Tell us a little bit about it. Well, there's vegan pansit. Pansit. Pansit. What's vegan pansit? So this is, this was from a lady who it's at seven vegans, H.I., it's her family is seven, family of seven, they're all vegans. And she makes Filipino and Asian inspired vegan food. And so in that picture in particular, there was vegan pansit, which is normally made with some kind of pork in it. Yeah, it looks exactly like that, doesn't it? Yeah, and then the vegan lumpia, and then that's a vegan meat stick. She actually makes her own seitan and then flavors it. And then normally you would call it pork isantis, which is that back one back there. That looks like a stew or something. It's normally pork in piece, but this is, I believe it was tofu, or it might have been another seitan in there. And then the brown rice. Sorry, I'm just celebrating. I know. It was really good and he remembers it, but she's been doing a really good job kind of popping up at events. And so we look for her whenever she's somewhere. And that looks like something that really you wouldn't have to be vegan to enjoy. I mean, that's the thing that I've found about vegan food. Just the misconceptions that you have to be vegan in order to appreciate it or get some satisfaction from eating it, which is, it's really not the truth. But he was at that particular event and he really liked the food as well, and he's not vegan. He wanted more of that seitan sticks. And so he liked it. I told him, I asked him, do you think this is vegan? He's out there for a few seconds. He's like, no. You know what? I think that's true. I guess if you didn't tell people that some of the things that they're trying are vegan, they actually wouldn't know the difference. Yeah. So that's actually a very good sign that vegan food is delicious too. Makana, can I ask you, how did your friends react when you told them that you were going vegan? My friends were like, good job. Oh, nice. So they were surprised. Yeah. Okay. But there has been some challenges. Yeah. My family, like on the other side, they're like, no, they're, my grandma really like a lot, she's happy that I'm vegan and she's trying it herself. The rest of my family, they're like, oh, why are you not eating me?  I'm like, no. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That happens to a lot of people. The same thing happened to me years ago, like people would try to trick me into eating something that, yeah, maybe it's just, it's hard for some people to comprehend. But once they try some of the food that you're eating and once they see that you are healthy and enjoying it and happy and not struggling, I think that's when they start becoming more and more supportive and positive about it. It's really interesting when you decide to make that decision how many people suddenly are interested, invested in the foods that you're not eating anymore.  So I think that's where he is still learning how to positively defend himself, you know, and maybe use it as a teachable moment versus, you know, just getting upset about it. And so we are working through that because there is, like, not just peer pressure, but family pressure. And I don't know where it comes from or why people are interested in pushing the meat products, you know, when on the opposite end they never pushed the non-meat products. So we talk about that a lot because it is a realistic challenge that he has in the society that we live in. Yeah, definitely. I think as soon as someone starts doing something different and something of the unknown, people just, it's hard for them to react positively to it. Especially with food, you know.  Because, you know, you need it to survive. You do. We talk about, well, I try and encourage him to talk about the positives, the upsides, and, you know, that, you know, his family is healthier now and the food is delicious.  Absolutely, yes. And so those are the positive things that we just focus on, you know, instead of being offended.  But it's awesome that you're able to perhaps educate them, show them a different way that you can eat. We're going to take a quick break, Makana. Don't run away anywhere. And we're going to get some more insight and talk more about your awesome journey on the plant-based diet. So see you in a bit. Stay tuned.

Today's program is titled Vegan Children, Happy and Healthy. And I have one very, very happy and healthy child here. And this is Makana, who's awesome, and he's making a difference in the world of health and the health of your family. So just to sum up quickly, everyone in your family, including your sister, is now vegan. Yep. That's pretty incredible. Yeah. It really is because that didn't happen in my family. No one followed suit. So I'm the only one. If you don't mind, I did come up with, I did find some studies online that I would like to briefly talk about. The first one is from an acclaimed pediatrician, Dr. Benjamin Spock, who wrote in his book Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care that, quote, unquote, children who grow up getting their nutrition from plant foods rather than meats are less likely to develop weight problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against giving cow's milk to children under a year and goes further on to say, quote, there is no reason to drink cow's milk at any time in your life. So it was designed for calves. It was not designed for humans. And we should all stop drinking it today. Do you miss cow's milk? Nope. And the reason is because there are millions and trillions and billions of non-dairy milks out there. Like silk milk, almond milk. Silk is my favorite. That's the one that I drink, too. The soy one. Yeah, I love that, too. Yay. But really, there are so many endless amounts of dairy products, even yogurts and ice creams.  Yeah, Ben and Jerry's has a dairy free. It's like a fudging cookie one. It's, yes. I wish you didn't tell me that, Anna. I might have to go and sample a few. That's awesome. There is another study that I did want to read out. It's from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which is the largest group of nutritionists in the US. And this quote says, it is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned, this is the key word, well-planned vegan diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy childhood, and adolescents, quote, unquote. So that's from one of the biggest nutritionists, nutrition organization. So I say we keep going with what we're doing there. I think so too. And did you notice any health changes in the year and a half? Can you tell us a few things that changed for you health-wise? Yeah, there was, I had way more energy, right? I slept way longer, I looked better, I had better skin. And so you're not married, you're only single on the market. Yeah. There was a lot of changes.  I'm sure that that definitely has something to do with what you're eating. Yeah, definitely. I told them not many teenagers are fortunate to have clear, soft skin at the age of 14. And so whatever you put in ultimately comes back out. Definitely, food is thy medicine. What else changed for you? Just cravings. About a week after I went vegan, I completely stopped wanting ice cream before. Oh, I want a burger. But after a year, there had been a few times where I'm like, I want a stem, it used to be so bad. Okay. But it's pretty easy just to say, yeah. So you must have a very, I forgot the word, a strong will power, which is something that I think that you're looking at this as a way of life as opposed to a diet because it really isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. And I think that is where a lot of people who go on particular diets end up getting off the wagon or not being able to continue with such diets because they're too hard. So, yeah, I'm the same actually. I get cravings for stuff. For example, I've been vegan for about 10 or 11 years now, but I was vegetarian prior to that. And what I did love before was cheese. I ate a lot of cheese. So I would get cravings for pizza and stuff like that all the time, but there's this thing called vegan cheese and all were amazed. You can make it, you can buy it, you can eat it, you can indulge. So I have to say the cravings that I have are really all fine because I'm able to eat all of that just in the vegan version. Yeah. Hannah, let's take a look at another slide, some other food that you've been cooking up and making. This looks amazing. It looks like an American breakfast or something that you want to wake up and see on your dinner table ready with some nice fresh juice. Tell us about what's on this plate. So yeah, there's a vegan pancake, as you can see, there's some vegan butter on that also. Yep. And there's some maple syrup with bananas in it on the side so you can pour it over there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm feeling it. I'm definitely feeling it. There's also some vegan tofu scrambled eggs, my dad made those once, it's amazing. Those are some sweet potatoes, right? Yeah. And then there's some, at the top there's vegan sausages. That looks exactly like spam. Yeah, actually it does. Doesn't it? Yeah. Just speaking of that, that could certainly substitute for, you could make one of those misoobies with that. Yeah. Did you make that? Did somebody make this? My dad made that, I think. Wow. So he cooked so much. My sister made the pancakes and my dad made everything else. Which part of it did you make? I just ate it. It's a very important role, McCona. I would like to send a message out to my fiancee, I'm about to get married in about a month. And I just want him to know that all these vegan breakfasts you can make are very easy to make and you can practice every any weekend, something like that. You can teach, or your sister can teach him how to do a good pancake. Yeah. A good pancake. What else have we got? Let's take a look at another slide. I love this one. So this says vegan foodies loving their vegan cheeseburger. Did you go out to eat that, McCona? No, we're at my house. Oh really? Yeah, my dad made that. That's a homemade. Yum. Yeah, I remember that actually. We had, we bought some salad from Costco and then he made the burgers and some vegan cheese. What is the diala cheese, right? Daya cheese. Daya. Yep. A field roast burger and it looks like just a cooked veggies and then a fresh salad. Right, yeah. That is so much healthier than a typical, you know, burger that you would see in a restaurant with, you know, oily fries and stuff on the side. That is, that is so good. Did you post this on an Instagram? I think we did. Yeah. Do you have an Instagram site? Yes, it died. It's at Vegan Kid Foodies. At Vegan Kid Foodies. Yeah. Makana, I'm going to make a prediction that you become a very famous vegan kid on Instagram. Want to make that bet? Yeah. Okay, let's say it again one more time so everyone got it. Um, it's at Vegan Kid Foodies. Okay, and on this page do you post a lot of photos of vegan stuff and food that you like to eat? Yeah. Okay, so people can find you there and swap photos and see what fun things and healthy things and more importantly, delicious things that you're eating, awesome. I think we have another slide we can take a look at. Oh, yeah. This is right up my alley, this one. I looked at this photo when you said that it was like, what the hell is this? It looks absolutely delicious.  But it's a very vegan friendly truck. They do offer a few non-vegan options as well, but more vegan than not. Yeah, that sounds nice. I absolutely love Indian food. It was really good. Yeah, nice. Let's have a look at another one. Oh, right. So Makana, let's just break everyone's myths, everyone's myths and misconceptions when they think that you can't eat sweet food on a plant based diet. So they're gorgeous little cupcakes, I guess. My sister made those. Did she? Awesome. So she's totally into helping cooking out as well. Yeah. I want a sister who makes me cupcakes. Maybe I can borrow her sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, she's had a couple of orders from a few people. Really? Yeah, she made like two pans of cupcakes. She got like, she got the money. Yeah. I would buy something like that. Definitely. Yeah. Would they chocolate flavored food? Yeah, they were chocolate cupcakes and she just completely made it all by herself. We use flax seed as an egg replacement. So healthy. I think soy milk is a milk replacement. And she's just been experimenting with these types of things. She likes to bake just the sweet stuff. So that's her motivation. Yeah. Well, definitely.  And I always tell my clients or people that I'm working with as a vegan chef that, yeah, you don't have to deprive yourself.  You don't have to give up anything. Yeah. I've been known to eat a few potato chips every now and again. Yeah. Makana, would you look over here at this camera and give all the kids out there in Hawaii and around the world a message? Anything you like? Well, I'm just going to say that if you become vegan, just try your best to stick with it because in the end it will help you so much. Yeah. I couldn't have said it better, any better. Thank you. Awesome. It was so nice meeting you. Thank you. The game pony and so nice meeting you, Makana. Would you come back again another time in a few months and let me know how you're doing? Definitely. Let me know if my prediction is coming true. One more time, give out your Instagram. It's at VeganCaveFoodies. Thank you, everyone, for watching. See you next time. Aloha.


Hi, I'm Camille from sicksisterstuff.com. Are you looking for a different way to make creamy mashed potatoes? Try adding sour cream. It adds a really light texture and just a tiny bit of tanginess.


A group of cartoonists traveled to Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan to personally thank service members. These honored guests are members of the National Cartoonist Society and represent various magazines, comic strips and newspapers. The cartoonist's care and attention was completely concentrated on one subject, the soldiers. And all we really want to do is just meet you guys and draw. We're not sacrificing anything, we're on a trip, we hang out together, we're drawing people, we do what we love. But nobody, everybody just is so excited about being able to do it. As part of this USO sponsored event, the artists do personalized sketches for each of the troops. When soldiers saw their cartoon, the response was absolutely animated. It's kind of funny at first how another person views you, I guess. But after looking at it for a little bit, I'm like, oh, I can see that. As the last cartoons were signed, the event that brought an appreciated morale boost cheerfully ended. Specialist Jovi Privo, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.

En nuestro programa nos gusta que veáis cómo vivimos en Hawaii, cómo vivimos en las islas. Y para ello nos hemos enfocado en la zona de Kakaako. Y nos hemos traído como invitado a Dwayne Cominet. Dwayne es el director residencial de la Torre de Hokuwa, que es una de las torres residenciales más lujosas de la zona. Y además ha sido galardonado con el premio al mejor general manager del año, en 2015. Thank you very much, Dwayne. And we are talking in English today to accommodate to our guests. So thank you very much for being here in the studio with us. Thank you for having me, Maria. So you were born and raised in Hawaii, right? Yes, I was born here, raised here, and I shall stay here in Hawaii. You've seen many changes. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about the past and the future of Kakaako. But tell us how would you, for those in our audience who don't know what Kakaako even is, could you describe? Well, Kakaako is a new, vibrant community that erupted about 20 years ago, 1986, when they built the first condominium, rural capital plaza. And since then, from the eight CDA process, since then, there's been so many condos being built, already built in our tower. You have Wahonua, you have Kualani. Or mainly residential towers. Luxury condominium is correct. Okay. So I went a little bit in the history, and it seems like in Kakaako in the 1800s was basically an area with salt ponds and fish ponds making. And it's going, what they call it now, to an urban oasis. So let's show a video for, again, those who don't know the area or those who know the area and want to know a little more. And then we'll keep talking. Vamos a ver un video de Kakaako para aquellos que no conocéis la zona, o para aquellos que la conocéis, si queréis saber un poquito más, vamos a ver el video. If it's one of the most beautiful places on earth, right? Absolutely. You completely agree, right?  You don't only work there, you live there. But all, not all is beautiful in paradise. There are some controversy and some, my numbers say that in 1990, 2200 people live in Kakaako. In 2000, 6200, by 2010, over 10,000 people. And now they are talking about probably increasing 30,000 to 40,000 more people living in the area. Is the infrastructure going to hold, the sewage, the traffic, water pipes? That's a really good question. The boom for real estate has grown, obviously. And for the infrastructure, I am quite satisfied that they have done the due diligence and the permitting and so forth. So the question is, do we have too much? I mean, are we oversaturated with luxury condominiums and do we need more affordable units? So it's a, I got a good question, but there's so much other questions that you can ask. So I've heard about affordable units. In these buildings, how much can a unit go for? How much are they selling them for right now? There was a price mark and a price point, you know, at Nifo Hukua, we're looking at maybe up a thousand plus per square foot. You know, I don't know the average. I'm not a real estate agent. Let's talk about just one unit, maybe a... No, we can get one unit. We can, in the market, for 2.5 million and all escalates as well. And usually those services price food markets, they price to the clients. And so does it make sense that those affordable units live together with prices that higher? Good question.  And to be honest, I heard that affordable housing in Cacaco is going to be for a family of four, a salary of 120,000 a year, which seems pretty good for affordable housing, no? Yeah, especially where the location is, absolutely. Yeah. Okay. So how many units do you know? Is this all those units that are being sold? Are they coming from offshore money? Are these investments that they want to then get more money just? Well, I have 19 units at Hukua for sale. Most people are just moving on or get third ownership or people who are moving on to bigger condominium units that are opening up around town as well. So, you know, it's moving, it's, you know. So you think they are investing also to... Absolutely. Everybody's investing in Cacaco. It's a new hub of Honolulu. Yeah. So tell us a little more how you live with the Cacaco when you were a kid and the Cacaco now. How have you seen? What did you, what have, from your eyes, what have you seen? Well, 30 years ago, I've been in the district for 30 years and it has changed drastically. In 1976, when HCD was converted to making condominiums residential, it has changed the face of Cacaco. The Kobayashi-McNaughton group has changed the face of Alamoana forever. With Hukua, we have Park Lane as well and philosophy behind that being the luxury condominiums, resort-style living condominiums is something that was never heard of before in Hawaii. And Hukua being the benchmark has set the trend. We'll talk about Hukua later, but so who decides what goes where in Cacaco? Is it the HCDA? Is it the... because you hear so many political maneuvers and... That question, I really can't answer that question. I don't know how it's done, but there's ruling by the HCDA area if you're in the area, but I don't have to answer that question. I'll get back to you. Well, let's go to a break. Let's take a breather here and then we'll come back and we'll talk more about what you know and Hukua and the beautiful life that you're building there. Vamos a hacer un descanso y vamos a... are we in the break? Hello, this is Martin de Spang. I want to get you get excited about my new show, which is Humane Architecture for Hawaii and Beyond. We're going to broadcast on Tuesdays, 5 p.m. here on Think Tech Hawaii. Looking to energize your Friday afternoon? Tune in to Stand the Energy Man at 12 noon. Aloha Friday here on Think Tech Hawaii. Hey, how you doing? Welcome to the Bachi Talk. My name is Andrew Lanning. I'm your co-host, and we have a nice program here every Friday at 1 o'clock on Think Tech Studios, where we talk about technology and we have a little bit of fun with it. So join us if you can. Thanks. Aloha. Aloha. I'm Kaui Lucas, host of Hawaii is My Mainland here on Think Tech Hawaii every Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. Start your Paul Hanna weekend off with the show where I talk to people about issues pertinent to Hawaii. You can see my previous shows at my blog, KauiLukas.com, and also on Think Tech's show. Sorry. So sorry about that. We just went to a picture of Jack Laurie at the top of the Ilikai in 1968 that Duane provided for us, and you can see in the background how Kakaako was before. And so you can see the difference of how it's being built now. So it's a photo of Jack Lord, a Protagonista of Hawaii, and it's in one of the buildings. So Duane, back to nowadays, and we are in Hokuwa. You are accredited Residential Manager of the Year in 2015 in all the U.S. What does it take to be the best Property Manager? Thank you for saying that. I'm very proud to be nominated from Hawaii and it's years of hard work, creating a staff, a team, working with a board, a developer that has great philosophy, and giving back to the community such as helping other condominiums as well and other organizations and being a part of that. But most importantly, you need to love what you do. You need to like what you do. And we've been doing it nearly three decades. And starting from a janitor to the position that I am today, Hokuwa being the benchmark of the state of Hawaii for condo resort management, for I'm concerned. So it's kind of between a hotel and an apartment building? It's a condo with resort services. Do you work, you said you also try to be a community builder with the other, do you work with the other buildings and how are you, and do you guys get together? I have an association group organization, which has, we have about 15 members, all residential condo managers, veterans, and comparable buildings. We meet every two months, and we're called the super block, and we sit there for an hour, and we discuss current events. And what we learned in that one hour, it takes years to pretty much learn. And having the group and everybody's knowledge, it's amazing. And do you reserve your own knowledge a little bit just because they are after all your competitors? Good question. No, we share. And this is what made the group much closer. Because this group before, we were never close. Everybody had their own information and so forth. But now that we share, we go to the next level. So it's monumental. What kind of residence does Hokua have? Is it mainly, I know there is a lot of Japanese in the area. Is it mainly Japanese, or is it 50-50? The face of Hokua, or for us anyway, is the face of the ownership is going to Asian. We have so many different cultures there, but primarily, the people who live there are very established in what they do. And you have, we've seen swimming pool, yakuza, sauna, gym, cabana, everything that you can, and more. Plus, not only that, you have properties, you have restaurants also in the same tower and her salon, right? Yes, we have mixed commercial use. That's a mixed commercial use of buildings. So we have, like you said, restaurants, panya, we have Tango, we have Bank of Hawaii, we have Salon Blanc, and of course, the developers. And you are also managing all that? We manage the entire property. And you live in the same tower? Yes.  I live in a fishbowl, and I pretty much like what I do. Do you avoid residents, or some of them? No, you can't do that. Do you have a favorite resident? It's a political thing.   What are the HOA for this, for a place like in Hokuwa? What do you mean? The HOA, the how much, who pays for all these expenses? Don't want to pay for the maintenance fees. Through the maintenance fees, which is billed monthly, and it's like rent, but it's the maintenance fees that take care of the entire building. Okay, okay. Dwayne, I want to... I like to get to know my guests at a personal level, and also as a professional level, but I like to ask you a couple of questions that I usually get to know the person better. So whatever comes out of your mind first, then what's your favorite food? My favorite food is pasta. I like... Is it Italian pasta? Okay, Italian? I really like pasta. So can we say which place do you go for?  Okay, I agree with you. Maybe not 100% because I have that Spanish heart in me, but 99%. Your favorite drink? Well, I like to have a white wine at the end of the day. White? Okay, any favorite specifically? Not really, just anything that tastes good. Italian? Okay, your favorite movie? My favorite movie was, that's really... A Wi-Fi fall? No, not a Wi-Fi fall. Actually, it was Bye Bye Birdie with Ann Margaret, and that was one of my favorite movies. Okay, you got me there. What is it about? It's like about Elvis, but it's a... You got to watch it. It's called Bye Bye Birdie. Okay. I used to watch that a lot. I'll put it in my list. Favorite song or kind of music? My favorite song, this reminds me of my wife. I like that song Sweet Thing by Shaka Khan. Okay, I threw a lot of research after that song, but I like it. Your favorite place? Favorite place would probably be... Or maybe the concept. Is it beach or mountain or city?  And so it's more the situation more than a place itself. You know, audience. Okay. Yes. Well, then you must be at ease right now. The best moment of your life or the one that you remember? My best moment of my life is, I guess, like having my... Or marrying my wife, obviously. And, secondly, the best moment of my life was actually opening up Hokuwa. Okay. That was like a little baby for you? I was something new for a state of Hawaii, and we did it. You felt like you were building something important for the community. Your favorite hobby, although I think... My favorite hobby? You answer that. I'm a musician. I'm a drummer, so I perform drums for 30 years. So I enjoy playing drums. I enjoy beating things. Where can we watch you play? Oh, I don't play anymore, so... I'm already tired now. You should. It's in your heart, right? No? Well, we'll talk about that later. What qualities do you like most in a person? Do you look for in a person? Integrity. To me, integrity and looking first and straight in the eye, you know, surround yourself with positive people, positive influential people cultivates me, and, you know, I mean, if the world did this, everyone would be, you know, the world would be such a better place. And who is the most important person for you? The most important person to me, for me, is in my family, you know, keeping me there, you know, because my work can get me out there real far. They keep you grounded? Yeah. And what is your dream? How do you see yourself? Continuing what I'm doing. So you're living your dream, basically? Yes. I really enjoy what I do. I actually really enjoy what I do. And how would you like to be remembered? That's a good question.  That, to me, is the best thing I ever did, you know, so. So you're there already? But it took a long time to get there. Tell me an anecdote related to Hokuwa, that you, of something that has happened, and you don't usually talk about it, or maybe funny, or maybe not, or maybe sad, or something that you remember? Well, I remember having, I remember the earthquake we had back a few years ago when I was in the building, and actually, when we had the earthquake from the big island, our building actually swayed back and forth, you know, and, you know, waking up out of a deep sleep, and waking up in the actually scene of the building doing this was something that I will never forget. Yeah. Because in Hawaii, you usually have, you're more used to hurricanes, storms, earthquakes.  Of all the islands, if someone had to come, which ones would you recommend? I would go to Maui. I like Maui a lot. That's your favorite? Yes. Why? It's laid back.  So for you, Honolulu, you're talking to someone who is from a European city of six million people. So for you, Honolulu, it's already pretty hectic. Yes. Well, it's hustle bustle, yes. It's a vibrant community. Who makes that? Is it the Hawaiians or the... It's just Hawaii, the people, the amount of people we have here, you know. It's, there's a lot of work being done here, a lot of condos being built, a lot of traffic. Everybody's working. Do you see yourself living somewhere else? Not at the moment. No. You like it here. If you could live somewhere else and you were retired, could you still pick a condominium sort of like Hokuwa, or would you prefer to live in a house or...? I probably wanted to go to Spain. Really? You're telling me. Yeah. That was very flattering. My wife and I will, my wife, she lived in Spain as well, so she will go back one day. Okay. Well, I'm here for you whenever you need some advice or some tour guide. Okay. Well, tell us more, how do you relate to the residents? Do you see them more as friends or you have to be careful? Well, you know, I have an open door policy, number one. Number two, all the residents and owners that I deal with, I have an open relationship with them. The door is always open. I can speak with them. I frankly rarely have any problems with anybody there. Are they mostly the owners live there or do they rent?  I know Kakaako, the percentage is 53 percent. Rent, they rent, so it's mainly people are renting more than they stay. Well, thank you very much, Dwayne. This was a very quick conversation, but thank you very much for giving us your view of Kakaako, of Hokuwa, and we look forward to showing that pool. It's beautiful. Thank you. Okay. Well, thank you very much, everybody, for watching us, and we'll wait for you next Monday. And here again, Viva Hawaii, and we invite you to visit Kakaako. It's a very thrilling, very growing neighborhood, and it's definitely worth it. Muchas gracias a todos por vernos en Viva Hawaii. Esperamos el próximo lunes, y os invitamos a que vengáis a Hawaii, específicamente a la zona de Kakaako. Es realmente una de las mejores zonas, por lo menos que yo he visitado en mi vida. Buenas noches. Mahalo.


the transformers will return after these messages and the first thing you're gonna do is take the rocket here and along the rocket there are these little panels that you're going to flip up like so and then bring this section up and around folding these panels back in just like so this will become Omega Supremes arms but thanks to toy hacks I discovered there is a hidden mode here so if you take these sections and fold them back like so bring these back leave your arm or the claw section here fold this in rotate this part around bring the rocket part up like so and then open up the door and that pops right off you gotta watch for that okay that door right there pops off really easy you do want to make sure that there is clearance right there that just barely makes it over the lip so if you don't have that section fully extended that door is going to pop off every time so now you've got this going on so you have a little Omega Supreme substation if you will make sure and flare these out that way it's stable and let's see here so you've got that going on now I'll get more into that base mode later on because toy hacks designed decal set that actually turns that in to like countdowns base


Now in this tutorial I want to talk to you about the exact test the exact goodness of fit test exact meaning We're going to calculate a p-value directly not first a Test statistic that then falls on a distribution in an area under the curve We're going to do that directly calculate this p-value directly now We're going to stick to a binomial categorical variable in other words the sample space only contains two elements Yes, or no value one or value two and we're going to see one of them as a success So we're going to follow this binomial distribution where we expect One of the values to occur at a certain probability and then we can work out a p-value for that. Let's have a look So let's look at the exact test of goodness of fit So we've really seen already You can look at those online. Remember all these files on github and on our pubs We see the our pub html rendered file here You can download the actual rmd file for our studio on github, but we've looked at the G test of goodness of fit and we've looked at the chi square test of goodness of fit so we have a single variable and We have Categorical nominal can be discreet as well, but let's stick to nominal categorical to make things easy We have a sample space in there and we count The occurrence the frequency of each of these elements in a set we do a test An experiment we have the single variable and we count those unique values in the sample space And we just want to know the proportions that we get back Are they different from what we would expect and that is a goodness of fit test now The g test is a log likelihood test and this exact test is a binomial Now we're gonna stick to binomial, but you can have multinomial as well But it's not a log likelihood test and it's exact because we are calculating a p-value directly We're not we're not calculating a statistic That forms a distribution and then calculating an area under the curve for that specific value And more extreme no no no we are just calculating a p-value directly So that's what the exact means. It doesn't mean it's better or more accurate So there we see the binomial distribution there. So imagine then we have Categorical nominal categorical variable and we are sticking to binomial in other words the sample space contains two elements and In this instance, I'm going to call them value one and value two just to be very generic Now because this is a binomial distribution one of them. We've got to see one of the two as a success So remember success is just a generic term success might in a Dichotomous outcome such as alive and dead the dead might be the success that you after that you want to investigate So one of those two elements in the sample space of this nominal categorical variable is your success And that has a probability of occurring and that's the P We're looking at the one minus P would be the other variable So let's have a look at that. So imagine that we have ten trials and We have two successes. So we handed out Questionnaire to ten people and the success was them choosing value one But only two chose value one and in the end we suspected a 50-50 split So we expected the probability of a success or someone choosing value one at 50 percent So hence our P of 0.5 So right inside of our we can use the binom dot test binomial dot test K there is our number of successes in is our sample size P is our probability of a success so of that value one being chosen and We wanted to sign a P value at a confidence level of 0.95 And then we're going to get back this nice value number of successes to number of trials ten And we see a P value there of 0.1094 Now very very easy now Let's have a look at what I've done down here because this is a binomial distribution We can actually look at we can create a bar plot and we can look at what the probability was If it was if there was a probability of 50 percent of choosing value one What was the likelihood then of getting only one success? So one value one and nine value twos or two value one as we did here two value ones and eight or three and seven Or four and six, but I'm interested in that if there were zero value ones or one value one or two value ones or three value ones I can plot all of those probabilities So again n is ten k is two p is 0.5 I'm going to create this sequence A sequence vector of zero to n so that's going to be zero to ten because I might Do that sample and no people select value one and on the other extreme all ten people select value one And then a y is just going to then be that probability that we work out and before that we're going to use the d Binom function and I pass that x so that's zero one two three four five six seven eight nine ten The size is n they were ten and the probability is p So I'm just running through all of those and now we create this bar plot The height is going to be y as we pass those 11 values in The names.org Argument there. It's just going to be x so zero one two three four five six and eight nine ten again I'm going to use a color of deep sky blue. I have a title I have an x axis label a y axis label and I want the values here to be printed upright and there we go so the probability of A success is a very low probability If I handed this out and I expected 50 percent of people to choose value one and I got it back and no one chose value one There's a very low probability of that happening There's a higher probability that one would and given that we expected a 50 50 There was a very high likelihood that there would be five successes in that 10 and that's why that's the most But it's also a very high likelihood that there would have been four successes or six successes or choices of value one So how do we get from this to this p value of 0.1094? Well, we have to look at A value of two or more extreme So we're going to have to look at this probability of choosing of only getting one Or two I should say value One's back and the one and the zero we've got to add all of those three probabilities So it's from this point to the extreme And if we do that, let's just look at At the sequence zero one and two we pass it through the binom function So we get this probability. So the probability of the zero was 0.00097 Of the one was 0.009 and for two was 0.43. So we've got to add all of those together And if we sum that up those three up, we get to 0.05. Well, that's still not 0.1094 But what we have to remember we chose a two-tailed hypothesis test So what we do on this side of the curve we also have to do on that side So we actually have to add the eight nine and ten probabilities to And if so with a symmetric distribution like this, we can just multiply that by two Or I could then specifically ask for zero one two eight nine and ten And if we work that out we get to the 0.109 So very simple to see That's it though if it is we have this 5050 split in our binomial choice that we have there But what if that is not so what if it's not a 5050 split? So what we're going to do here is we're going to make the probability of them choosing value one We expect that to be 0.75 And let's run 15 trials now and I'm again going to go all the way from zero to 15 And plot all of these and if we plot them, this is what it looks like It's not symmetric anymore. It's definitely left tailed here So how would we now go about for a how do we would we go about doing a A two-tailed test Now there isn't really not all statisticians agree as to how you would do this I think the most common way probably is this idea that we're discussing here the method of small p values or the small p value method So what we're going to do Is in this instance here, I'm interested in seven. So what was What was the we did our test and we send it out? We send out 15 and we expected 75 percent of them to have of those 15 to have chosen value one and we only got seven of them Chose value one is that statistically significant or not now? It's very difficult here to see how am I going to reflect that on the other side for two-tailed hypothesis test Well, what we do is we calculate here The the seven what the probability was for seven And then we can calculate each of the probabilities separately. So from zero to 15 What was the likelihood of that number of successes? And we sum up all the ones That have that probability that seven had or less than that So what we do is I'm going to create this vector called it suc for success And I'm going to do all of them from zero to 15 Size in probability p. So 15 and 0.75 so run all of them. So I'm going to have these 16 values now And what I'm going to do is I'm going to sum up those ones So in suc where suc is Less than or equal to the specific one that's seven So it's just going to look at all the probabilities. So that height there and it's only going to add those that are actually The exact same probability or less And if it adds all of them up, it's going to give us a p value And that's how we would use this method of small p values to work out the probability of Having found those seven and we see it's 0.017 and that's the significantly significant for an alpha value of 0.05 So we could now suggest that if we expected 75 percent of people to choose value one And we handed it out to 15 people and only seven of them chose value one So the other eight chose value two that that would have been a statistically significant finding So there we go the exact test of goodness of fit Remember that for these tutorials on r that the actual html rendered files are on our pubs And that's what you might see on the screen But these files are also available in their raw form on github and all the links will be in the description below So you can either go to the website and look at our pubs files As they're already rendered or you can go to github and download those files Into your system so that you can use them in our studio yourself So if you like these videos on r, please let me know so that I can make more of these or their subjects That you want me to cover as far as buy statistics is concerned and the use of r Please let me know otherwise.
