Hi and welcome to the session. I am Asha and I am going to help you with the following question which says, find the remainder when x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 is divided by the following linear polynomials. So, before finding the remainder, let us first learn what does remainder theorem say. According to this theorem, if Px is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1, the real number is divided by the linear polynomial x minus a then the remainder is equal to PA. This remainder theorem is the key idea which we are going to use in this problem to find the remainder of the following polynomial. Let us now begin with the solution. The given polynomial Px which is equal to x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 and the first part is x plus 1 which can further be written as x minus of minus 1.  Thus remainder is equal to 0. And now proceeding on to the second part which is x minus half. We have to find the remainder when px which is equal to x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 is divided by x minus half. So by a key idea the remainder will be equal to p at half. Now replacing x by half in px we have half whole cube plus 3 into half whole square plus 3 times of half plus 1. Now half whole cube is 1 upon 8 plus half whole square is 1 upon 4 plus 3 upon 2 plus 1 and now taking LCM. LCM of 8, 4 and 2 is 8 and on dividing 8 by 8 we get 1. Therefore on multiplying 1 with 1 we have 1 plus on dividing 8 by 4 we get 2. Therefore multiplying the numerator 3 with 2 we get 6 plus on dividing 8 by 2 we get 4. So multiplying the numerator 3 with 4 we get 12 plus 1 can be written as 1 upon 1 and on dividing 8 by 1 we get 8. So multiplying the numerator 1 with 8 we get 8 which is further equal to on adding the numerators we have 27 and in the denominator we have 8. Thus the remainder is equal to 27 upon 8 which completes the second part and now proceeding on to the third part which is x and it can be written as x minus 0 and we are required to find the remainder when px which is equal to x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 is divided by x minus 0. Then the clear idea remainder will be equal to px0. Now on replacing x by 0 in px we have 0 whole cube plus 3 times of 0 square plus 3 into 0 plus 1 which is equal to 0 plus 0 plus 0 plus 1 which is further equal to 1 and hence the remainder when px is divided by x is equal to 1. So this completes the fourth part and now proceeding on to the fourth part which is x plus pi. Now this can be written as x minus of minus pi since minus into minus is equal to plus and we have to find the remainder when px which is the given polynomial x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 is divided by x minus of minus pi. Then by the clear idea a remainder will be equal to px minus pi and on replacing x by minus pi in px we have minus pi whole cube plus 3 times of minus pi whole square plus 3 times of minus pi plus 1. Now minus pi whole cube is minus pi whole cube plus 3 times of minus pi whole square is pi square and 3 into minus pi is minus 3 pi plus 1. Thus when px is divided by x plus pi a remainder is equal to minus pi cube plus 3 pi square minus 3 pi plus 1. So this completes the fourth part and now proceeding on to the last part which is 5 plus 2x. Now this can be written as 2x plus 5 and first we need to find the 0 of this linear polynomial which is 2x plus 5 which we get on equating it to equal to 0. This implies on dividing both sides with 2 we have 2x upon 2 plus 5 upon 2 is equal to 0 upon 2. This is by dividing both sides by 2. So this gives x plus 5 upon 2 is equal to 0 or x minus of minus 5 upon 2 is equal to 0. So this is the linear polynomial which will divide the given polynomial that is let px be the given polynomial which is equal to x cube plus 3x square plus 3x plus 1 and according to the key idea remainder will be equal to p at minus 5 upon 2.  Now minus 5 whole cube is minus 125 upon 2 whole cube is 8 plus 3 times of minus 5 whole square is 25 and 2 whole square is 4 plus 3 into minus 5 is minus 15 upon 2 plus 1. Now taking LCM of 8, 4 and 2 LCM is 8 and on dividing 8 by 8 we get 1 so multiplying the numerator minus 125 with 1 gives minus 125 then we have in the numerator 25 into 3 75 and on dividing 8 by 4 we get 2 so multiplying the numerator with 2 and we have plus sign and minus 15 in the numerator and on dividing 8 by 2 we get 4 so multiplying the numerator with 4 then we have plus 1 which can be minus 1 upon 1 and on dividing 8 by 1 we get 8 so multiplying the numerator with 8 which is further equal to minus 125 on multiplying 75 by 2 we get 150 plus on multiplying minus 15 with 4 we get minus 60 plus 8 upon 8. Now first let us add both these negative terms which gives minus 185 and on adding 150 with 8 we get plus 158 in the denominator we have 8 which is further equal to minus 27 upon 8 hence remainder when the polynomial px is divided by 5 plus 2x is equal to minus 27 upon 8. This completes the last part.


No modern tanks were present on Russia's Red Square during the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on May 9. This was a notable diversion from the last year when a column of modern tanks was paraded past the Kremlin. The 2023 parade was full of traditional pump but unmistakably scaled down from previous years in place of phalanxes of modern battle tanks, a single World War II vintage T-34 tank rolled across the square. The usual fighter jet flyover was canceled. Russian officials have said on numerous occasions in recent times that the country had beefed up military production this year, including both the construction of new tanks and the modernization of older ones. Russia launched what it calls its special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022 and both sides have sustained significant losses during over a year of fighting.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering IBM Think 2018, brought to you by IBM. Hello everyone, welcome back to theCUBE. We are here on the floor at IBM Think 2018, the CUBE Studio's live coverage from IBM Think. I'm John Furrier, the host of theCUBE, and we're here 70 years as the Vice President of Offering Manager at IBM Cognitive Systems. That's power systems, a variety of other great stuff. Real technology, performance happening with power. It's been a good strategic bet for IBM. Stephanie, great to see you again. Thanks for coming back on theCUBE. Absolutely, I love to be on, John. Thank you for inviting me. When we had a briefing with Papachiano, who was heading up power in that group, one of the things we learned was there's a lot of stuff going on that's really going to be impacting the performance of things. So just take a minute to explain what you guys are offering in this area. What is it fit into the IBM portfolio? What's the customer use cases? Where does that offering fit in? Yeah, absolutely. So I think here at Think, it's been a great chance for us to see how we have really transformed. You know, we have been known in the market for AIX and IBM i, we continue to drive value in that space. We just gade on yesterday, our new systems based upon Power 9 processor chip for AIX and IBM i in Linux. So that remains a strong strategic push. Enterprise Linux, we transformed in 2014 to embrace Linux wholeheartedly. So we really are going after now the Linux space. SAP HANA has been an incredible workload where over a thousand customers run in SAP HANA. And boy, we are going after this cognitive and AI space with our performance and our acceleration capabilities, particular around GPUs. So things like unique differentiation in our NVLink is driving our capabilities with some great announcements here that we've had in the last couple of days. Jamie Thomas was on earlier and she and I were talking about some of the things around really the software stack and the hardware kind of coming together. Can you just break that out? Because I know Power been covering, Doug Bayloss been on many times, a lot of great growth right out of the gate, ecosystem formed right around it. What else has happened? And separate out where the hardware innovation is on technology and what software and how the ecosystem and people are adopting it. Can you just take us through that? Yeah, absolutely. And actually I think it's an interesting question because the ecosystem actually has happened on both sides of the fence with both the hardware side and the software side. So open power has grown dramatically on the hardware side. We just released our Power 9 processor chip. So here is our new baby. This is the Power 9. Hold it up. So this is our Power 9 here. Eight billion transistors. 14 miles of wiring and 17 layers of metal. I mean it's a technology one bar. It's very small. We can't even show on the camera. This is the Moore's law piece that Ginny was talking about in her keynote. That's exactly it. But what we have really done strategically is changed what gets delivered from the CPU to more what gets delivered at a system level. And so our IO capabilities. First chip to market, delivering the first systems to market with PCIe Gen4. So able to connect to other things much faster. We have NVLink 2.0, which provides nearly 10X the bandwidth to transport data between this chip and a GPU. So Jensen was on stage yesterday from NVIDIA. He held up his chip proudly as well. We're very, the capabilities that are coming out from being able to transport data between the power CPU and the GPU is unbelievable. So what about the Religio and NVIDIA for a second? Because that's also, NVIDIA stocks up a lot. Haven't do it thanks to the Bitcoin mining graphics card. But this is what, this is again, a use case. NVIDIA's been doing very well. They're doing really well in IoT, self-driving cars. Where data performance is critical. How do you guys plan that? What's the relationship with NVIDIA? Yeah, so it has been a great partnership with NVIDIA. When we launched in 2013, right at the end of 2013, we launched OpenPower. NVIDIA was one of the five founding members with us, Google, Melanox and Tyane. So they clearly wanted to change the game at the systems value level. We launched into that with, we went and jointly bid with NVIDIA and Melanox. We jointly bid for the Department of Energy when we co-named it Coral. But that came to culmination at the end of last year when we delivered the summit in Sierra Supercomputers to Oak Ridge and Lawrence Livermore. We did that with innovation from both us and NVIDIA. And that's what's driving things like this capability. And now we bring in software that exploits it. So that NVLink connection between the CPU and the GPU, we deliver software called PowerAI. We've optimized the frameworks to take advantage of that data transport between that CPU and GPU. So it makes it consumable with all of these things. It's not just about the technology. It's about, is it easy to consume at the software level? So great announcement yesterday, right? With the capabilities to do logistic regression. Unbelievable taking the ability to do advertising analytics, taking it from 70 minutes to one and a half. I mean, we're going to geek out here, but let's go under the hood for a second. This is really kind of a high end systems product. Okay, at the kind of performance levels. Where does the connect to the go to market? Who's the buyer of it? Is it OEMs? Is it integrators? Is it new hardware devices? How do I involve them? And who's the target customer? And what kind of developers are you reaching? Can you just take us through that? Who's buying this product? So this is no longer relegated to the elite set. What we did, and I think this is amazing, when we delivered the summit in Sierra, right? Huge cluster of these nodes. We took that same node. We pulled it into our product line as the AC922, and we delivered a four GPU air-cooled version to market. On December 22nd, we GAID of last year, and we sold to over 40 independent clients by the end of 2017. So that's a short runway. And most of it, honestly, is all driven around AI. The AI adoption, and it's across enterprise. Our goal is really to make sure that the enterprises who are looking at AI now with their developer are ready to take it into production. We offer support for the frameworks on the system so they know that when they do development on this infrastructure, they can take it to production later. So it's very much driven to taking AI to the enterprise, and it's all over. It's insurance. It's financial services sector. It's those kinds of enterprise that are using AI. So IO sensitive, right? So IoT not a target or maybe? So when we talk out to Edge, it's a little bit different, right? So the IoT today for us is driving a lot of data. That's coming in, and then at different levels. There's not a lot of processing power needed at the Edge. There is not. There is not. And it kind of scales in. We are seeing, I would say, kind of progression of that compute moving out closer, whether or not it's on. It doesn't all come home necessarily anymore. Compute's being pushed to where the data is. Absolutely. I mean, that's headroom for you guys. It's not necessarily a low, it's not a priority now because it's not an intense ban. Other compute can solve that. That's right. All right, so where does the cloud fit into? You guys powering IBM's cloud? So IBM cloud has been a great announcement this year as well. So you've seen the focus here around AI and cloud. So we announced that HANA will come on power into the cloud specializing in large memory sets. So 24 terabyte memory sets. For clients, that's huge to be able to exploit that. Is IBM cloud using power or not? So that will be an IBM cloud. So go to IBM cloud, be able to deploy an SAP certified HANA on power deployment for large memory installs, which is great. We also announced power AI access on power nine technology in IBM cloud. So we are definitely partnering both with IBM cloud, as well as with like the analytics pieces, data science experience available on power. And I think it's very important what you said earlier, John, about you want to bring the capabilities to where the data is. So things like a lot of clients are doing AI on-prem where we can offer a solution. You can augment that with capabilities like Watson, right off-prem. You can also do DevOps now on with AI in the IBM cloud. So it really becomes both a deployment model, but the client needs to be able to choose how they want to do it. And the data could come from multiple sources. It's always going to be latency. So what about blockchain? We'll get the blockchain. Are you guys doing anything in the blockchain ecosystem? Obviously one complaint we've been hearing obviously is some of these cryptocurrency chains like Ethereum has performance issues. They got projects doing a lot of open source in there. Is power even putting their toe in the water at blockchain? We have put our toe in the water. Blockchain runs on power from an IBM portfolio perspective. IBM blockchain runs on power or blockchain? Like Hyperledger, like Hyperledger will run. So open source blockchain will run on power. But if you look at the IBM portfolio, the security capabilities in Z14 that that brings and pulling that into IBM cloud, our focus is really to be able to deliver that level of security. So we lead with system Z in that space and Z has been incredible with blockchain. Z is pretty expensive to purchase though. But now you can purchase it in the cloud through IBM cloud, which is great. Awesome, this is the benefit of cloud. Sounds like Softlayer is moving towards more of a Z mainframe power backend. I think the IBM cloud is broadening the capabilities that it has because the workloads demand right different things. Blockchain demands security. Now you can get that in the cloud through Z, right? AI demands incredible compute strength with GPU acceleration. Power is great for that. And now a client doesn't have to choose. They can use the cloud and get the best infrastructure for the workload they want and IBM cloud runs it. You guys been busy. We've been busy. Papa Gianno has been bunkered in. You guys been breaking out. So love to do a deeper dive on this, Stephanie. And so we'd love to follow up with you guys and we told Bob we would dig into that too. The question I have for you now is how do you talk about this group that you're building together? The name's all internal IBM names, power, cognitive design. Is it like a group? Do you guys call yourself like the modern infrastructure group? Is it like, I mean, what is it called within? Like if you have to explain it to outside IBM, AI is easy. I know what AI team does. You're kind of doing AI. You're enabling AI. You're modern infrastructure or is it? What's the pillar are you under? Yeah, so we sit under IBM systems and we are definitely systems proud, right? Everything runs on infrastructure somewhere. And then within that three spaces, you have certainly have Z storage. And we empower, since we've set our sights on AI and cognitive workloads, internally we're called IBM cognitive systems. And I think that's really two things, both the focus on the workloads and differentiation we want to bring to clients, but also the fact that it's not just about the hardware. We're now doing software with things like power AI software, optimized for our hardware. There's magic that happens when the software and the hardware are co-optimized.  I love that conversation because if you look at the systems revolution that I grew up in computer science generation of the 80s, that was the open movement, BSD, pre-Linux. And then now if you think about the cloud and what's going on with AI and what I call the innovation sandwich with data in the middle, blockchain and AI is bread. You have all the perfect elements of automation in a cloud. That's all going to be powered by a system. So essentially operating systems skills are super important. Super important. Super important. This is the foundational elements. Absolutely. And I think your point on open, that has really come in and changed how quickly this innovation is happening, but completely agree, right? And we'll see more fit for purpose types of things. As you mentioned, more fit for purpose where the infrastructure and the OS are driving huge value at a workload level. And that's what the client needs. You know, what DevOps proved with the cloud movement was you can have programmable infrastructure. And what we're seeing with blockchain and decentralized web and AI is that the real value intellectual properties, you mean the business logic. Okay, that is going to be dealing with now a whole nother layer of programmability. It used to be the other way around. The technology determined the core decision. So the risk was technology purchase. Now that this risk is business model decision. How do you code your business? And it's very challenging for any business because the efficiency happens when those decisions get made jointly together. That's when real business efficiency. If you make one decision on one side of the line or the other side of the line only, you're losing efficiency that can be driven. And open is big because you have consensus algorithms, you've got regulatory issues, the more data you're exposed to, and more horsepower that you have. Absolutely. This is the future perfect storm. Perfect storm. Definitely, thanks for coming on theCUBE. Great to see you. My pleasure, John. Great to see you. You're awesome. Systems proud here in theCUBE we're sharing all the systems data here at IBM Think. I'm John Furrier, more live coverage after this short break. All right.


So we have our data and we know that we want to calculate the standard deviation, our SD, which is our standard deviation, and this is our sample standard deviation. How do we do that? So those who are using a sharp calculator, you will have a sharp calculator that looks almost like this, where it has a, on your calculator, the letters might be blue. It's called an alpha, it's blue, and you also have some letters that are written in green that are like the X bars. I cannot make it bigger. So on button number four, there is an X bar there, which then will calculate the mean, which we use it to calculate the mean. We also have the SX, which will calculate the standard deviation. SX calculates the sample standard deviation. So those are the buttons we're going to be using, but I'm also going to introduce this one. This Sigma X on button number six, it calculates the one that looks like this. Sigma X, it calculates the population, the population standard deviation. Then we're going to use, on your calculator, this might be an M plus on some calculator, and on some calculator, this is data change. We use this to store the data. So now what you do on your calculator, is to first put your calculator to state mode, and put in your calculator to state mode, you first press the mode button, which is that, you press the mode button, and you will have a dialogue that tells you one for state, and zero for normal, and two for real. So we're going to use the one for state, you go and press button number one. So you will press one, that relates to state, and you will see that it gives you a new menu at the top. It will say state one, and it will give you some menu as well. So zero for SD, we're going to be using SD for standard descriptive statistics. And those who do MES, they can use it for doing the quite, the logarithm, later on when we do chapter 12, we will use it for doing the linear regression using the line. And so forth. So for today, we're only going to use zero for SD. So you're going to press zero for that SD. So you just say zero, and your calculator will be in state mode zero at the top. It will show you like that. Then now we need to capture this data that we have. Remember, we created, we were given the data set, which is 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21 and 20. So to capture that data is easy on your shop calculator. Remember, this is only for the shop students. So shop, you say 12, also return, you press 10, and you press the change. So for cashier, we wait a bit while you show the shop users first. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Let me do one calculator at a time. All right, thanks. Yes, so you will press one and you press the data change or the M plus. So on some calculators, it will be M plus, especially the shop, G-A-L, somebody bought that calculator this morning. So that one, you will press the M plus, and then it will tell you data set one, and then you continue. You say 12, and then you press the M plus, which is the data change. It will say two, until you get all the data set. So you should have data set eight when you get to 24. So we continue and say 14, M plus 15, M plus 17, M plus 18, M plus 18, M plus and 24, M plus. You need to be very careful when you enter the data so that you make sure that you've entered the right information and you didn't type something wrong, otherwise you have to start from scratch again. Okay, now we have our data start, you just press the on and off button. And once you have pressed the on and off button, then you are ready to do the calculation. Remember, if this was the population's information, the mean formula, you remember, the mean formula, which is the X bar, is the same as the mu on the calculator because the formulas are almost the same. So on the calculator, your mean for sample and your mean for the population, they use the same button, which is the X bar. So let's say we want to calculate the mean of this data set. So the mean, oh, sorry, we don't press four. You say alpha first because we want to call that function that is green on button number four.  Do you remember the mean from the previous slide? So the mean, if I can make this slide bigger, I will keep on hiding it. We remember that the mean was 16. So if I press the X bar, you always have to come back and press the equal sign and you will see that the mean is 16. Then we do the same. We do the same for the standard deviation. Remember, we calculated the standard deviation, which is this whole master calculation that we did here. And we found that the answer is 4.3095.  It doesn't matter whether it's still in the answer mode for the other one. So you say alpha. And remember, it was the sample standard deviation. So therefore we press five and we will press equal sign. And you can see that the answer is the same as the one that we had on the screen. And let's say we want to calculate the standard, the variance, the sample variance. Remember the sample variance is that underneath the square root, which is 130 divided by seven, which gave us 18. On your calculator, there is an X squared button, which is the button there on the calculator. X with a square button. That button will help you to convert your standard deviation that you got from your calculator to a sample variance. So to do that, while we're still in the answer mode for the standard deviation, you just press the X squared button and you will see it converts into the variance and you press the equal sign and it is 18.517. And if we go to our variance, which I calculated manually, I got 18.57 as well. And that's how you use your calculator. To calculate the mean and the standard deviation. So if you are given the population, you will use number six for the population, but that's not what we were calculating now. Those who are using this calculator, please, you can practice the steps. At the later stage, you will come back to the video. It will be the second video. I will post both because I stopped the video and I hope I started the recording on this one. Did I start the recording? Is it recording? Does it show as the meeting is recording? Yes. Yes. Yes, thank you. Okay, so you can come back to the videos to see the steps again and practice and practice. Remember, those who are using the shop, your calculators might look different to this one. You might have the M-plus. This M-plus will be here as a data change for your calculator. And those who are using the financial calculator, which is also, it's relevant to those who are using the financial calculator, the shop financial calculator somebody posted, that orange one with the cover, the cover is Merun, yes. The Merun cover on your one, instead of the data change, that M-plus that I'm talking about, the data change, yours will press the ENT button. The steps are the same. Your ENT button will be there. It will be the last button on your functions before the delete button. After, yeah, before the delete button. So you press ENT at the steps, you follow the same. And your values and the screen looks exactly the same as this. Okay, so that is the measures of variation and the measures of central tendency for this. At the later stage, when we do the covariance, we will use the same because the covariance is your standard deviation, which is button number five divided by button number four, but we will get to that at the later stage. So now let me do, or help those who are using the other calculator. So I'm going to remove all these notes that we have here so I can create space for them one. Okay, so now those who are using a shop calculator, this one I can make it bigger a little bit. Helps. Okay, those who are using the case shop. So your case shop will look like that. I am assuming it has the fraction thingy, some that they don't have the fraction thingy and you have the STA button on button number one, some have some some and some var something like that on button number one and button number two. If you have those kind of button where it splits the some some and some var, please after the session contact me on WhatsApp on the group so that I can help you with your calculator. But the rest of the calculators that you showed me yesterday when I asked, you are using this kind of a calculator. So also we're going to create the same thing that we did. So we first need to understand our calculator as well a little bit. So there is the mode button. We're going to be using button number one and shift. So yours, you don't have the values displayed here at the hidden under button number one under the state. So we're going to press shift and press set to reach the other things as well. So how do we get there? So the first step you do is to press the mode button. So you go and press the mode button and you will see that it has so many menus unlike the previous one. So our one that we are interested in is number three. So you're going to press three or this set. So you press number three, the value number three and you get this menu. So going forward as well, when we do chapter 12 for you as well, you will use number two. For today, we only want to use number one and that is what we are interested in for today. So you're going to press one for that one minus var and that gives us the descriptive statistics. So you're going to press button number one and it will give you a table. Some calculator, it will give you two tables. Some calculator just gives you one but others it gives you two tables. So you must just check which one is yours. So it will give you a table and now we need to capture that value, those values. So we know the values are 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 18 and 24. To capture them, you just say 10 and you press equal sign, it will store the value there. Then you go 12 equal sign. You say 14 equal sign, 15 equal sign, 17 equal sign, 18 equal sign, 18 equal sign, 17 equal sign, 18 equal sign, 18 equal sign, and 24 equal sign. And you will see that the last value will correspond to number eight, which then tells me all the values are stored on your calculator. And we can go cancel AC, you press the AC button, your values are stored, they are not lost, they are still there. Now we need to calculate the standard deviation and the moon. So we're going to press the shift button. So you press the shift button and then you will press button number one.  And it will give you this menu where it says one and two sum var sum and fours and distribution and all that. We are interested in the var, not in the sum, the sum will just give us the summation of the values and the sum squared and all that. We don't want that, we want the var. So we're going to press four for var. So you just press the button number four and it will give you this menu. As you can see, it tells you that if you want n, you will press one. If you want the mean, you will press two. So if we want to calculate the mean, remember also the same happens with this calculator for the standard deviation, sorry, for the mean for the sample and the mean for the population is the same. We'll use number two. But if we calculate the standard deviation or the variance, we're going to use that sigma. So let's first calculate the mean because this one is for the sample standard deviation. So to calculate the mean, we're going to press two and if we press two, remember, we always have to press the equals sign and you can see that the mean is the same. You can see that the mean is 16. I'm not going to show the slider again because we have shown, we know now that the mean is 16 and to get to the standard deviation, here is the thing, you will have to go back and repeat that step and this step. So you will have to go back and say shift one and it gives you this and you press four again and then you press four again for the standard deviation and you will press four again for the standard deviation and you will press equals sign so that you get the standard deviation and if we remember very well, the standard deviation was 4,0309 and that's what we have calculated. Similar, if we want to calculate the variance, if we want to calculate the variance, we'll have to use the x squared button, which is this button here. We will have to use that button. So to calculate the square of the standard deviation, to calculate the variance, we just press x squared and it will square the answer and say equal and it will give us the same as what we had, 18.514, 18.514. Okay, and that is how you use your calculator to calculate the mean and the standard deviation. So on the screen right now, I have the method for the sub-sharp calculator. So remember, it's the same calculator that I just used. So where there is an M plus, those who are using financial calculator, you use ENT and those who are using the other calculators like the sharp right, use data change. You will use data change and it will give you the same answer. Okay, so that is the standard deviation and I'm not going to ask you to do any calculation for now because we only have 30 minutes but I will give you a chance to do the same when we calculate the coefficient of variation. Let's move on to the coefficient of variation and I gave you some of the things as well when you do the exercises there. Okay, so the coefficient of variation is another measure that we use for measuring the variation or the variability of your data and it measures the variation relative to your mean and it's always represented by a percentage and we can use it to compare the variability of two or more things or groups of things. And this is the formula that you will use which is your standard deviation divided by the mean and we have to multiply it by 100. So let's look at an example. Let's say I need to calculate this. So now if you look at this example, I am not using any data so they already calculated the values and they give me the standard deviation and they give you the mean. In the exam they might not give you the mean and the standard deviation but they give you the data set like we had the data set like this and they might ask you to calculate the coefficient of variation. So you just need to know how to calculate the standard deviation and how to calculate the variance which is what we did when we were using the calculator to calculate this, we calculated the mean and we calculated the standard deviation so you can use those methods to calculate. But in this instance because they already calculated the values of the mean and the standard deviation we just need to substitute into the formula and our S is our standard deviation which is 5 prime and our mean which is our X bar which is the average last year which is 50 multiplied by 100 which is five divided by 50 gives us 0 comma 1 and multiply that by 100 it gives us 10%. And we can calculate it for the another stock type which is stock B, we have the average which is the mean of 100 and the standard deviation of five therefore the standard deviation is five friends and the mean is 100 multiplied by 100, we get 5%. Both the stocks have the same standard deviation but they have different means and as you can see stock B is less variable than stock A. So in this type of measures, most of the time the people who use it most often are those who work in the risk department especially those who work with portfolios in the finance area and all that they like using the coefficient of variation because it gives them the indication of how the market is changing in which portfolio they need to invest the money of their clients and if that thing happens almost on a quarterly basis or a monthly basis then they have to change and look for other opportunities and they use this kind of measures to make decision about where they need to invest in. So let's do the exercise. You have 10 minutes to do the exercise calculate the coefficient of variation and then I will do the exercise but I will use the calculator to calculate the coefficient of variation. So you will have to come and do the coefficient of variation CV is equals to S divided by X bar multiplied by a hundred and it should give you the answer. You don't even have to put down the brackets and that is the formula you use. So calculate and then we will check the answer just now in 10 minutes. So let's see it is 13.4 so by 13 foot, let's say 13.41 I will come back and do the exercise on the calculator. Are we winning? Yes. So let's use the sharp calculator. What I haven't told you now is after you have if those who followed me on the calculator you haven't cleared your calculator from the store maybe you will be airing on top of the values that you have. So what do you need to do? Once you have done your exercises and you completed one question and you move to the next one you must always remember to clear your calculator and to clear your calculator from these third values you just press second function and you press the mode button. It will clear your calculator. You will see when I press alpha and I press four it should not give me any value and I press equal the calculator should give me an error because there is no data that is stored. So it means now I am ready to enter my new data so that we can calculate the coefficient of variation. So now I hope I'm able to write on this one. So remember the formula is I need to open 10s then the formula is coefficient of variation is your standard deviation divided by the mean multiply by 100%. Remember that. So now on your calculator, this is a sharp calculator. Let me also write it there.  You can press the on and off. Then you press mode and you press one for STAT and then you go back and press zero for SD for the descriptive statistics and we are ready to capture the data now. To capture this data you will say so here is the sharp right. So you will say 10 and you will press the M plus. This is one alternative. The other alternative or you will say 10 so these are other calculators. You will press the change, the data change that change button. So which is like that. It's a written change. For other calculators, you will press 10 you will press E and T button next to is next to the delete on your financial calculators. So let's say it. So this is your sharp sharp right view or the dial sharp. Those who bought the dial sharp the DAL sharp calculator. So let's write it here is the DAL calculator the sharp DAL calculator. And the next one, this one is the sharp. The old sharp right view calculator which looks almost the same as the DAL calculator but is the sharp right view. It's written right view at the top and then the last bit, which is the last one here. This is your sharp financial calculator so that everybody is aware of how to press on their calculators. So all the sharp calculators are different. So then you continue to enter the values which is six and you press the M plus or you press the 10, the six change, six E and T depending on your calculator which looks so I'll just continue without writing anything on the document. So we say 10 and we press the M plus and then six M plus or data change. I'm going to keep on saying M plus because I'm used to using my sharp. M plus, five M plus, 10 M plus. And when you capture the data, it will also tell you what to type three and it tells you 10 is your data and it's in data set four, it's 13 data set four. Nine M plus, seven M plus, 10 M plus, nine M plus, six M plus, eight M plus, six M plus and six M plus. How many they are? They should be 12. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. Therefore I've captured all my data.   Now, the next step that follows is to press the alpha button. Remember the formula, I'm going to write it back here. CV is S divided by the mean multiplied by 100. Now on your calculator, this is what you're going to do.   When you have the answer, you're going to multiply that answer.  Let's do that. You go alpha five divided by alpha four. As you can see there, it is X, S divided by the X bar and we can say equal. So then we don't press the multiplication, then it multiplies by 100. It doesn't really matter because division and multiplication was the same. But to be safe, press the equal sign, press multiply by 100 and press equal and that is your coefficient of variation. And our coefficient of variation is 24.5. So 45% and that's how you do the calculation. Okay, so on the case you're one, we will do the same. Remember when you are done, to answer the next question, you just press second function C A to J or calculator from any store menu. Okay, so let's look at the shop, the case you're one. So case you're, we do the same. I need to go up to get the values. Funny enough on the wet document, I cannot press the equal when I write on it. Okay, so also similar to this, you will have to also do your calculator from any store values and to play your calculator. On this one. Oh yeah, you will use the nine, the calculator. So you will go shift and you press nine and it will say, do you want to get the setup or the memory or all? So I just want to get the memory. So I just press two and it says yes for the memories, then we'll press the equal sign and it says the memory is done. So if I press shift, set and I go to, let's say I go to the table, I go to two, they are still there. So it didn't get my memory. So I will have to get my memory. So shift, yeah. And I think in this instance, I can just go and get all of them. So equal. And AC and then if I go shift, set, nothing happens. Shift, set, that should happen. So they shouldn't be anything because then the data is gone. Now we need to take the calculator back to set mode. By first pressing the mode, you will press the mode button you will press. Now it's different, my bad. Then we can press the four, button number four, for set is T-A-T. Oh, this is just for the setup. So we don't want the setup. So I did press the shift first. That is why it went to the setup. So you can just press the AC button. We don't want the frequency button. So remember, because I press the shift button, I press the setup. So any value that is written in orange when you press the shift button, it will call that function. So I don't want the function. So you must make sure that on your calculator, on the screen, there is no shift written. If you look there, that tells me that my shift button is clicked. So I can just unclick it. So mode and there is our state. It should be state three, not state four. So it should be state three on our calculator. And we need one for one minus var. You press one and we can capture our data. Yours is easy. Remember it's 10 equal, six equal, like that. So 10 equal. Six equal. Five equal. Ten equal. Nine equal. Seven equal. Ten equal. Nine equal. Six equal. Eight equal. Six equal. Six equal. And it should be up until rule number 12. Then it means I've captured all the values. Now I am ready to calculate. So you can just press the AC button. Just press the AC button. The values are stopped. You don't have to worry that, oh, but where did it happen that my values are not showing anymore? So they just thought somewhere in the memory of the calculator. Now we can do the state. So you're going to press. Remember I need to write the formula. Cv is equals to s divided by the mean multiplied by 100. So on your calculator, this is what you're going to be doing because your calculator reach the s and the mean they are underneath in there. So you're going to press shift. This is going to be very long. Shift and you press one. Let's do it while we doing it so that I don't write the wrong thing. And then you press four. And then you press four. And then you press four again. For sx, you will press four again. And that gives you xx. And you say divide by. So we're going to press the division sign and we repeat the step. Shift, one, so we go shift. We press one and we press four again. Four and we press two. So the next one will be two. And equal. So maybe probably I can just put the equal sign there and then say multiply by a hundred and then say equal. And multiply by a hundred and then equal. And that gives us 24.45. Oh, actually it's four, four, six if I run off correct because I just used the closest value. And that's how you do coefficient of variation. Any question, we only have three minutes then it's end of the session but any who I am done with the session. Any question, if there are no questions then we can recap on what we did today. So today we looked at, I know this is very complex but we looked at the measures of the measures of central location. Probably I should not use that. So we use the measures of central location which is the mean, the median and the mode. And then we looked also at the the measures of variation which are your standard deviation and your your standard deviation, your variance, your range and the coefficient of variation. And we looked at how we use the calculator to simplify this complex calculations that we are given. What else? And that's it that we did today. And the final comment from me, we can continue the discussion on my UNISA. Like I showed you the screen yesterday on my UNISA, I'm not going to show you today. We can continue the conversations there. We can also continue the conversation on the WhatsApp group. And likewise, thank you for joining the session.


Prasanna asks us, I want to extract data from WSS old version. What is it? Do you don't need to modify WSS with old version? Yeah, they're worse. The old version. Superness, yeah. To SharePoint 2016, which by the way, Prasanna, is an old version. But the data stored in SQL as tables is in that my table, in that my table, my list is an item, is as item. I'm going to read that over again. So we'll just take the credit and get a list out. In SQL as tables, in that table, my list is as item, how to retrieve the list from WSS. So I can speak to that. So let's first establish what WSS old version is, because if you're going technically, there was WSS, Windows SharePoint Services Version 2, which was back in the 2003 days. WSS Version 3, which was 2007. And then it turned over to SharePoint, what was it? I want to say framework, but not framework. Foundation. Wasn't it just some SharePoint Foundation? Foundation, thank you. And who was an F? It's always F. You were getting there. You were getting there. So in any case, the thing is around SharePoint 2010, which is going to be when SharePoint framework, excuse me, SharePoint Foundation, yeah, actually came along. Thank you for my translators here. Microsoft added something called unattached database recovery, but it does not go back prior to 2010. But that would allow you to attach content database into a SharePoint farm and run export operations against it to get lists and content out. If you're going back to WSS v2 or v3, what you're literally going to end up going against the database, and there's no wonderful answer there. So I wish I had paid a little more attention to the WSS old version part of this. The minute I saw WSS, I'm like, I'm not putting an X next to that. I'm not even having a conversation about this. We're not even going there. The truth of the matter is, though, I mean, there are a few really super clunky ways to do it. Probably you could go directly to the table and PowerShell and export it out and put it into something like a CSV file and then pull it back in. You could copy and paste it. And there's some really clunky ways to do this. There's just no nice ways. Yeah, well, in all likelihood, I mean, the biggest challenge I think is going to be finding a tool still out there because there are plenty of ways to your point, Sharon, people did this. But PowerShell wasn't one of them because PowerShell wasn't around then. PowerShell actually was usable in the 2007 days, but only if you were using the .NET framework. There was no PowerShell command let set for SharePoint at that point. Yeah. So I know guys like Keith Ritchie back when he was doing more extensive work in the old versions, he would put out different things. And you probably have to look for him online. But if you can find somebody old enough still doing SharePoint and you want to buy him a beer, I'll bet you can probably get a decent approach to addressing this question. Unlike this group of young kids like we're not going to know. So yeah. My only thought on that, because I used to attach to my database, access databases to SharePoint tables. That's another way to pull it out too. If they, when you've got connected or looked up lists, I don't know the complexity of her table or whatever it is, because you can't kind of read what's in there. And the question is a little bit garbled. But yeah, SharePoint or access might be an option too, because you can import the list of the SharePoint. Access is always a nice clunky workaround. It's kind of funny like it kind of does the job sometimes, but it is definitely, sometimes it's more work than it's worth. I did it. I used it today to go in. It won't let me set a unique value on a column and saying there's something in here. So I think there's 5000 plus items in there. So I went in and I said, I need to find duplicates query and it showed me all the ones that were used. Very nice, very nice. Access forever. Yay. Access for the win. Yay. Yeah. That's like the worst time I think I'll say that ever. Access is a nightmare to me. It's my friend. Yeah, I might do back and out. Find unmatched queries all day long every day. I wish I could do those in SharePoint. Back in the days when I was a disaster recovery architect and I was trying to discover all of the mission critical applications in the company I was working for, I cannot tell you the number of access databases running on people's PCs at their desk that were mission critical, not on IT's radar, not backed up. And they were all access 2.0. And that's how I made my living. Don't knock it. I think access database is into other things. Yeah, there's also an ulcer and a heart attack in that, Sherry. I literally have an open project. I really swear to God, have an open project right now. I'm moving two access databases from somebody's desk into SharePoint as a solution for now. It'll go into Power Apps and it will ultimately end up becoming a custom solution. But it's kind of in it's our little transition phase. Still working on him. That's great. Now paste a pen query to update the data. John, I don't believe that you read the small print when you signed up to do these that we are an access friendly group here. I know. I'm not a hater.  Which is never access. Oh, I'm sorry. I said it again, didn't I? Booth. Excuse me.


So what are the magic words here? Melissa, Mia, Shiro and Blue Planet Foundation. Those are the magic words here on Think Tech in the three o'clock block on a given Wednesday. And you can see her. There she is. Melissa, welcome to the show. Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here. I always enjoy our chats and our conversations day. Yeah, the same, the same, the same.  You're the executive director of Blue Planet Foundation. The first order of business is a big congratulations to you. You're, you're, you know, it's confirmed now.  So good for you, Melissa. How do you feel about it? I feel really excited. It's great. I love the organization. I've been fortunate enough to be with Blue Planet since 2014. So I've got a great head start with the team and being really familiar with the energy landscape in Hawaii and also the work that we're doing at Blue Planet Foundation. So it feels just really exciting. And I'm, I'm looking forward to the road ahead. Yeah, okay. We're going to examine that with you today. But first, what is Blue Planet Foundation? What's its history? What's its mission? What are its current activities? Yeah, great, great question. And it's also interesting because many people get us confused because there are so many Blue Planets out, out there, right? There's other entities, there's a battery business, there's a surf shop. So Blue Planet Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit. We were started 13 years ago right here in Honolulu and remain in, in Honolulu and offer programming statewide. And our focus is really on clearing the path for clean energy. So identifying what the barriers are, are standing in our way to get to that future. And then we work from a system standpoint to remove those barriers. A big piece of our work is in the policy space. So many people know us as strong policy advocates for various climate policies. We championed the 100% renewable energy law that was the first in the nation. And then over the years, we've also become known for our storytelling work. So we believe in the power of narrative and telling stories and using that to change the way people think about something like energy or think about the climate challenge. Give me a story with you, Melissa. Any story we'll do? Yeah, any story. We have, we have so many and we really love to tell stories. So one of the initiatives I'm really excited about is our We Are 100 initiative. So this, we're actually gathering stories from individuals and businesses from across the country, or sorry, across the states. Eventually, it'd be great to build those stories internationally. We can talk a little bit about, you know, how I see that evolving in my new role at Blue Planet Foundation. But we started with local stories. And what we wanted to do with those stories is convey to the public that this journey to 100% clean energy, it's not just something that the utility worries about. It's something that includes all of us. And it's not just about lights, it's about transportation. So one of my favorite stories is this woman, Julie, who lives in Ebba Beach, and she's been a bus rider for 30 years. So she works in Waikiki and through the We Are 100 campaign and also our empowered TV series that we have going on right now. We tell stories like that shows. So she talks about, you know, waking up early to get on the bus and the friends that she makes while riding the bus and how she feels good about minimizing her carbon footprint by taking the bus. Okay. Yeah. I know some of them myself. I know some of the stories that you have told. So, you know, let's take a look at your website. We have your website ready to look at. And so maybe you could sort of step us through it. That would be the homepage, but there's so much more. It's so well written and it's really beautiful. Great. Thank you. Yeah. And doing work in Hawaii, we're lucky to be blessed with that beautiful imagery. And we really wanted to show through the website just how special this place is and how important it is that we protect it for future generation and that we really see our beautiful island home as the epicenter for global climate solutions. So you'll see our beautiful island home sprinkled throughout the website. And that's really, you know, that's our center of gravity. And that's what we're doing. Okay. Step us through it now. Michael is going to take us wherever you want to go on this website. Yeah. So, when folks go to the homepage at BluePlanetFoundation.org and just kind of scroll through, that's a good place to kind of get a feel for the type of work that we do. We have this fun clicker to just give you a sense of continuing this importing fossil fuels and this challenge is something that's ongoing even as we're speaking, right? We are impacting the climate. So we just wanted to offer kind of a fun visual there. And then the next section as you scroll down is really an overview of the types of work that we do as a nonprofit. So I mentioned our policy work. We also do a lot of work in communities related to energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is something that's often left out of the conversation about clean energy. People don't fully grasp what a central role it plays in helping us to get to a clean energy future. And then we also do work with Hawaii Youth. And that area of our programming has really grown over the last few years and it's going to continue to grow in the future. So we're in classrooms educating students about clean energy, climate, energy efficiency, clean transportation, learning from them as well what they hope to see in the future. And then clean transportation. This has also been an area of program growth for Blue Planet as the electricity sector is making good progress on decarbonization. We have a long way to go on transportation, so it's more of a focus. Yeah, there's more. This is just a fun link to our platform called IslandFolk. So this is specific to the island of Oahu, but something we actually partnered with Hawaiian Electric on. It is a real-time energy tracker letting people know how much energy we're using on the island of Oahu and how much of it is coming from fossil fuels or clean energy sources. So we just include that there. So people want to have feedback, right? It's often this idea of climate, clean energy can be a little bit abstract. So we wanted to take it out of abstraction and make it real for folks. And then I think if you scroll down some links to more of our impact and all the way at the bottom, we have links to some of our video work. So I mentioned that we're storytellers. We love to share stories of community members and then also use the power of video to tell new stories about climate change and how it's that we're all part of this journey. So just some links to some fun video projects that we've done over the years. Nice. Beautiful website. So who funds you?   Are you a private foundation or public foundation? And who's the bulk of your funding? Yeah, despite having foundation in our name, we're not a private foundation or a granting foundation. So that can lead to all kinds of brand confusion. So we are a public charity. So a majority of our funding comes from donations and also grants. People may recognize our founder Hank Rogers. So he founded the organization. He's a well-known and well-respected visionary in the community. So he launched the foundation and it was always his vision for us to grow up and be independent. And that's where we are right now. So 80% of our operating budget comes from non-founder sources. So we raise that funding through grant programs. We have some partnerships with organizations like White Energy. And then we also receive donations from community members, from businesses that are concerned about climate, that are excited about using the lever of policy and storytelling to contribute to this solution. Yeah, you've mentioned what? Kowloon Electric and Hawaii Energy. Those are clearly important affiliations. Are there any others that fit in the affiliation category? There must be some. Yeah, and we're always exploring new partnerships. And I think that the energy landscape has changed so much. So we're always thinking about and open to having conversations with new partners. Another key partner that comes to mind is Clearway. So they're a renewable energy project developer. And we've partnered with them on some of our youth engagement activities. So they support our work in going out to communities and talking about clean energy, listening to students and what they think about these projects and how they potentially can develop career pathways in this arena. We're also looking at partnerships with Labor Union, so IBEW. It's someone that we've been talking to and once a partner on programming. And then we also have a recent partnership with Castle Foundation. So funding work in the climate education space, also thinking about this idea of storytelling and really analyzing the power of messages and also messengers. So who are the messengers that are really going to inspire all of us to be part of the clean energy future? I'm impressed with your outreach. It has always been thus with Blue Planet Foundation, as I recall. You do a lot of outreach to reach people.  What are you trying to inculcate in their understanding of the world to come? Yeah, so we definitely try to provide educational resources that educate on climate science, on renewable energy technology. But a large piece of it is really on empowering them. So we have conversations with them and offer programming that helps them engage specifically with civic engagement, so getting them involved in the policy-making process and really helping them to see that we're not only grooming future leaders, but they are already leaders in this conversation. And they're the ones that are inheriting the consequences of the choices we're making today. So they have a lot of power and have an opportunity to tell business leaders, to tell lawmakers that this is the future that they want to see. So we offer those kind of advocacy tools, information about the climate science. So they have that grounding when they're speaking to their peers, the lawmakers, etc. Yeah, you got to spread the word. I remember going to a Blue Planet program, it was at St. Anthony's Church, and it was a reused, recycled, it was a play that Blue Planet funded. And it was a bunch of elementary school kids that came from all over the island. And it was a musical. And I remember how impressed I was that at the end, and these were professional actors and singers. And it was a good play. I enjoyed watching it. But at the end of it, they all walked out these elementary school-aged kids singing the song that had been sung during the play. And I said, they're taking that home. And they're not only taking that home, they're taking the whole thing about reused, recycled, and other words. And I said to myself, this is the way you change the future by influencing the kids and having them sing the song and bring the message home. That's got to be part of your thinking. Well, I know it was for that event years ago, but it's got to be part of your thinking now. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. And all of that content brilliance credit goes to the Honolulu Theater for Youth. So they had this idea of, let's do this play for kids about clean energy. And just, it was a fantastic show. And I remember us going as a Blue Planet team and sitting in the back row, you know, the kids got the front row seat, but we were in the back row and they were, you know, singing along just as you said, it was pretty magical. So that's precisely the type of programming and experience we want you to have. And in recent years, we've been doing really focused work with high school students, because they're really in a unique moment where they're... You know, they're the same kids.  That's an excellent point. Yeah, they are the same kids. Now they're ready to influence policy. Well, let's talk about policy. So the policy is so important. And indeed, I'll say that the government needs our advice. They need our help on shaping policy, because the truth is that energy has so many things in our world are very complex. Energy points, issues are very complex. And you really have to understand a lot in order to fashion policy. And you guys do policy. And I like to know the four corners of your policy efforts, what you're supporting these days, where you want to take it, and how you're reaching the policy quote makers that we have in state government and county government here. Yeah, there's always more work to do on policy. It's certainly, as you were describing, it's a powerful lever for driving this larger systems change that we're seeking, right? Because we're working on a really daunting challenge. And individual behaviors are going to help us get to that future, but it's not the whole picture. And we really need these larger systems changes to help us get there. So Hawaii has some really great goals and targets in place, and even mandates for getting to 100% renewable energy. So there's a strong framework in place. I'd say recently, a lot of our policy work has shifted to focus more on the implementation. I mentioned at the beginning how we see our mission is really clearing the path to that 100% clean energy future. So there are all kinds of additional policy barriers that pop up as we're moving towards that path. And one area, I've mentioned it before, and it's worth repeating, one area that we're really focused on now is decarbonizing our transportation sector. So that's one area that Hawaii, it feels like we are a little bit behind from other places like California.  I think we're near 17, 17,000. So we've seen steady progress, but not nearly kind of the curve that we need to see. And then similarly, things like charging infrastructure, particularly for those that don't and can't afford to live in a single family home, the plug in their EV when they get home or during the day when the sun is shining and they're using solar. So thinking about those solutions, we have to expand the way that we're thinking about solutions so that we're including more residents in that future. Well, you know, years ago, we did have a tax credit for electric vehicles, and then it somehow went away. And of course, the government could incentivize cars, but also charging stations, it could, you know, give tax breaks for charging stations, it could build the charging stations, it could incentivize companies to be formed to make the charging state, to build the charging stations as a profit, you know, operation. And clearly, you know, what are your favorite things, your favorite incentives, if you will, try to get the legislature to, you know, change the, change the system to incentivize the community to buy more cars, to build more charging stations and the like. What are the ways that that can be done? And what are you advocating? Yeah, yeah, picking my favorite incentive, that's a tough one, but I'll try. So there is actually a really great bill that passed this past session. It was introduced by Chair Bowen, who chairs the Energy, the House Energy and Environmental Protection Committee. So this was adding additional funding and additional legs to this, this great rebate program that we already have in place. It's not too old, it was first established in 2019, but it is a rebate that's offered for installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. And it's really aimed at, you know, not at the single family homes, but it's that public and that community charging network. And then also for apartment buildings, so that, you know, people that live in apartment buildings have a little bit more confidence when they are going to buy a new vehicle and they can just have that confidence that an electric vehicle can work in within their lifestyle. So that program, there's additional funding, it's actually funded through a portion of our existing barrel tax. So it's not, kind of a, something that was additional, it was just kind of a reallocation of funding that is already coming in. So it makes sense to be, you know, paying for these things with our carbon pollution tax, essentially that's coming in. Yes, it should be. Yes, the way the barrel tax should go to things like that. That was the original intention on it. Not the general fund, but things that will, you know, provide a fossil free future for sure. And I guess when you say rebate, you mean that if I put in a charging station in my condo, for example, and it cost me, I don't know, a couple thousand dollars, the rebate would be a rebate of part of what I have spent. Is that what it is? Yeah, that's right. And this program is administered by Hawaii Energy, which is a great partner for this program because they have so much experience with managing rebate programs. So they have that set up in place. And then there's different, different tiers for their rebates. So there's a, for, you know, upgrading, if you want to upgrade to a different type of charger, that's available. And also just for the installation of charging. So what's the next step? What's the next step, Melissa? The next step. Yeah, I mean, we have to, we have no time to waste, you know, 2040 or 45, they're right on the horizon. And electric cars, transportation is very important because that's, you know, billions of dollars of fossil fuel being used every year in Hawaii. So what else can we do? Yeah, something that we've been looking at is really like we have a goal on the electricity side for 100% renewable electricity. We need something similar on the transportation side. So that's what we're looking at. A number of states have been looking at legislation to essentially phase out the sale of gasoline powered vehicles. So that's something that we're looking at here. A number of, you know, countries across the world have made a similar commitment. We do, from last legislative session, a bill was passed to set a goal for state-owned fleets to transition to zero emission vehicles. But from Blue Planet's perspective, we need to set that goal economy-wide because transportation is such a big piece of our emissions locally. We see that as the next important step in addition and in parallel to really building out that charging network that can provide more people with access to charging, it can eventually support the electrical grid in this clean transportation feature. So that's where we think we need to go. Got resistance on these things? Yeah, there's always resistance. This is a big transition. One of the bright spots is that manufacturers across the globe, auto manufacturers, are committing to transition their entire production to electric vehicles. So they're really banking on this electric vehicle feature. And so now it's making sure that we put the right pillars in place to not just kind of let the market decide where things go because often that's when people get left behind, we're not thinking about vulnerable populations or people that maybe don't have access, like we were talking about that, having access to charging at home. So we need to make sure that we're building a system that works for everybody. Absolutely. Democracy is really important for so many reasons, including the social compact, the belief, the confidence in government, the confidence in the community. We have an issue about that on the mainland, not so much Hawaii, but we have to make sure everybody feels confident. So I want to ask you about the general initiative of clean energy. A few years ago, it was all the rage. And the general notion was we need to have a diversified portfolio of everything we can get our hands on, everything that generates clean energy from the natural resources around us. Let's do it. I wouldn't say that's the case now. I would say it's largely solar. There's a little wind, but the wind is more historical than going forward. And of course, there's geothermal, which is struggling in the Big Island in a couple of ways. But I can't think of too many other sources of clean energy that are promising for the future. I mean, aside from those, and especially solar energy. So in a sense, the great energy behind energy, community of energy, pushing clean energy seems to be less enthusiastic or less organized these days. And I wanted your reaction on that. That's really interesting. I think it's a combination of things. There are definitely kind of new players in the conversation. So I think before, and even when Blue Planet was founded, we were the only kind of clean energy nonprofit. And it's really, in some ways, maybe not as focused of a conversation. And there's not kind of that channeled energy by a maybe smaller group of really strong advocates. And at least from my perspective feels kind of more spread out in conversations across different industries. So as we have this goal for 100% clean energy, we're in the process of figuring out what's the optimal way to get there. And now there are new conversations we're having and kind of new puzzles that we're trying to figure out. So I think it's more, maybe the energy is more kind of dispersed across conversations. And that's something that as I am stepping into the Executive Director role of Blue Planet Foundation, I'm also really curious about from an organizational perspective. So Blue Planet has been doing incredible work over the last 13 years. Now it's a new conversation, a new energy landscape. How can we evaluate our programs and our impact to really focus on a new area and rethink about where we need to go and where we can add value as a nonprofit in this space? Well put. So what I want to ask is, given all of that, even the fact that you've been with Blue Planet Foundation for a while on various capacities, your last capacity is what? Chief of Staff, as I recall. So before being coming Executive Director, you have seen this all evolve over really what amounts to a decade, maybe even kind of generation. I hate to use these energy words, a generation of energy, clean energy development in Hawaii. And here you are, a hand of the keys to the kingdom, if you will, of a senior and very important organization in the energy landscape, the clean energy landscape, with the power, the credibility to speak volumes, to speak the power. And here you are. And here we are. And my last big question to you, Melissa, is what are you bringing to the table in new ideas, new directions, new concepts? Your administration, what is it going to be like? Yeah, I guess continuing to bring, and it's just in more sharpened focus, the sense of urgency. This really is the time. The alarm is sounding louder and louder climate. We're reminded of that as world leaders get together next week at COP26. So I'm really thinking about this is the time. The clock is ticking. We really need to focus and be strategic about where we can make the most impact in the time that we have. I'm also a lawyer by training. And I'm really proud of my ability and willingness and appreciation for collaboration. So I'm excited to have new conversations. I'm excited to bring more people into the conversation about climate and clean energy. And that's what's really driving me in this new role. Conversations, like conversations here with us. That's right. I hope I hope we have those conversations. And I hope you hope so too. Yes, I always enjoy them and happy to, always happy to talk story. Thank you. Melissa Miyashiro, the relatively new executive director of Blue Planet Foundation for a new time, a new generation, new challenges in energy and clean energy in Hawaii. Thank you so much. Thank you, Jay. It was a pleasure. Same here. Aloha.

And thus, the ultimate avatar again is the sensitivity, specificity of the R.I. in obstructive, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative rate equivalent of R.I. in the obstructive hydrodynamic process. So, this is the general cost of the study. The study proportion is 64 children and we have done all for 1.5 years. The inclusion criteria we have to take below two LBs of age who are referred for ultrasound for renal system anomalies and also found to have hydrodynamic process. The children of the same age with healthy kidneys also referred for ultrasound or the system other than renal system also included in the study for control.  Also, the children with kidney disease other than hydrodynamic disease like the medical renal disease which can cause also the spurious rise of the R.I. and the kidney results who have equivocal inconclusive result on the DTPS care. And we also exclude those patients whose parents did not consent for ultrasound evaluation. We use due to measure, we use Philly 87 LBP in equivate both machines because one machine was non-functional in the immediate situation. We also created a pro forma for recording the clinical history and also other investigational findings. And then we do the ultrasound first followed by Doppler assessment and the Doppler R.I. value was taken at the high level. And the ultrasound was really non-serivative and without sedation or breath hold. The R.I. was also noted but also calculated by this formula by PSV minus EGV by PSV value and the obstructive non-strativative VTBA findings And the measured R.I. value was tabulated. The R.I. value greater than .7 was very high and the R.I. value of .7 was very low and also do the statistical analysis by the software and the PV value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. So the RE-HER-PHASEMS the mean age is 3.110 year and there is 23 male and 6 female patients in the normal kidney in our study eau 22  neo  統 ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ ฆ and the mean length of hydronemia�ur  ѐ ஆ ฏ ஆ ஆ ஆ ஆ ஆ ஆ ஆ... moreover similar <IP_ADDRESS> 7.1 1 4 centimeter and for less than one year the mean కాక్మ్ రోది దమ్నివా కెటిక్చెంపికి సెధ్దాసంవా పరరనికాక్దాసడి కూబర్రలా, రాపరసీాకి కిలుత్క్నిక్ది స్పిరిసచిపెటీకెద్దాక్ నాడిర౛వా నంటిరౕములవడాళికోాఎందా. గఎటతదమా. మారౕిస్సుందిదర. ఀతిజి నారఋారతన నారౙంద 댓 నమికె. నటోదికొణం తారమందచిలి. two obstructive pattern we found that the RIVALO.76 which is the higher, this is a high obstructive feature and then on the DTPS also there is source obstructive which is true positive case of obstructive hydrolysis. So we conclude that the adequate ensuring adequate hydration is essential for increasing the dynamics of RIVALO estimation for determining the obstructive non-obstructive hydrolysis. And the risk of increase significantly decreases the function of age and the donor also assessment is useful for differentiating obstructive and non-obstructive hydrolysis. It can also be used as screening tool and for the non-indexic, ionic, non-ionic and non-indexic already for the dynamic keraloscintigraphy which that dynamic keraloscintigraphy is an ionizing one and many hospitals do not have that specificities with high level of sensitivity doctor sound can we detect the higher RIVALO in obstructive system and avoid unnecessary delay in the intervention. But the limitation of the sample size of our study is small and the RIVALO is a very non-specific parameter because the obstructions are not the only cause of the elevated RIVALO as we previously mentioned that the renal medical disease known present setting or non-medical disease the elevated RIVALO is also there. It can be also obstruction or need to RND and the Doppler study being an operative development has its own limitation. We did it. This is my six references. Thank you.
