Team keep it clean. What's going on? Happy Sunday. Or really whenever you're watching this, happy whatever day it is whenever you're watching this. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And if ain't nobody tell you thank you today, thank you. Appreciate you. Now, Chuck Clark. Chuck Clark is usually very quiet on social media. Chuck Clark is usually very quiet when it comes to being one of the Ravens players. I know he's sort of over the past couple of years. He took a step forward as a leader on the Baltimore Ravens, but still he's pretty quiet. Like at least for me personally, like if I was to just hear Chuck Clark speak, but I didn't have any video with it, I probably wouldn't know who that was. And that's nothing against Chuck Clark. It's just that we don't really hear him talk like that. Like from Marlon Humphrey, you know who Marlon Humphrey is cause he always talking. Lamar Jackson, you know who Hollywood, I mean Lamar Jackson, you know who Lamar Jackson is cause he always talking. And you know who I'm about to say up next because it already slipped out for Hollywood. Know who Hollywood is cause he always talking too. But for Chuck Clark, he's not real big going talk. He just wanna play. So with him, it's the same thing with him in social media. So when he tweeted what he tweeted, let's just read it word for word, says this and this, keep it clean Chuck. But anyway, he says this can go one or two ways. It can go up, it can go down. So either way I'm prepared. So a lot of people looked at that tweet, they were like, hold on, what's Chuck Clark talking about? And I think that he was actually at an amusement park and he was getting ready to get going to ride. And he said it can go one or two ways. It can either go up or it can go down. So I don't know what park he was at, but anyway, no, but for real, but Chuck Clark, I saw some people say, oh, well, this is about Jarvis Landry because Jarvis Landry has beef with Marcus Peters and it will be about accepting him in the locker room and how it can go. It can either go good or it can go bad. And when I saw it, I was like, nah, I don't think so. I don't. And you know what's funny? Something that is very interesting and I've been accused of it myself. And then I've even accused other people of it themselves too. With social media and a lot of the players and whatnot and the actions that they take via social media, I've been accused before of looking too far deep into, oh man, it's not even that big of a deal. Oh man, why did you make a video on that? Because you know people gotta get their complaints in in any way they can. Some people just wake up in the morning, oh, you know what? Let me complain about this video that this guy made today. I'm gonna make a complaint about it just cause I'm upset. Why? I'm gonna complain about this video that he made even though I'm watching it and I'm commenting on it, but if I was really that upset about it, why did I do that? But anyway, so I've been accused in the past of looking too deep into things that players may do on social media. But I mean, look at it, look at what Hollywood, he scrubbed all the raving stuff off his Instagram. And look where he's at now. He's in Arizona, that boy's a cardinal. Changed the number and all his third number in his career. Now he going to number two. And apparently he said, hey, I wanna be a number two receiver. He said, I don't want all that attention. I'm getting ready to get some one-on-one matchups and all that. You know what? With that article, I saw the quote, I saw the quote from the article that was floating around about Hollywood not wanting all the attention. And I was like, I say, you know what? No, no, no, let me look at the actual article. So I looked the article up and yeah, that was it. That's what he was saying. But anyway, so when you see things like that, the players do this stuff on social media, a lot of times it can be telling. So with Chuck Clark, the timing of this was just very interesting to me because of course the reports came out a couple of days, well right at the beginning of the draft. I think it was before the second round. Right before the second round, the report came out that Chuck Clark was expected to get traded. So then he tweets this and it's like, ah, that timing, man. I don't know, man, the timing. I think it would have something to do with that, but hey, who knows. But then of course them drafting Kyle Hamilton. That's big. That's like, that's really big because they already had Marcus Williams. And then they drafted Kyle Hamilton. And it's like Chuck Clark, it's such a tricky spot, man, because again Raven's like, right now at this point in the off season, Raven's just have me all kinds of confused. I do not know what they are going to do. I don't. I just don't know what they're going to do because we talked about all the wide receiver stuff. We'll see what happens with that. I don't know what they're going to do there. I mean, the expectation would be for them to bring in a veteran because that's the norm, but we'll see. But this with Chuck Clark, he is obviously the guy that has the green dot. He's the guy that calls the plays, but you know, they don't want Chuck Clark to have the green dot forever. Who else they going to give it to? Well, I know there's been a lot of talk. There's been a lot of excitement and whatnot about Kyle Hamilton having a green dot in the rookie minicamp. I know everybody saw the video and stuff, the green dot on the back of his helmet. They're like, all right, look, he's calling plays. I was like, okay, that's cool, but I wouldn't expect him to have a green dot for Raven's defense, even if Chuck Clark is traded because, and I'm saying that he couldn't do it, but for Raven's, I don't think they would put all of that responsibility on a rookie, even on a simplified defense, because I expected it to be a lot more simple than a Wings defense, but I wouldn't expect them to put all of that on a rookie, like for a rookie to control and call out the defense and whatnot. If Chuck Clark is traded, then I would expect that to go to Marcus Williams. He's young, but he's a veteran. This will be his sixth year in the league, or fifth, fifth or sixth year in the league, I forget, but I would expect it to go to him. I wouldn't expect it to go to Patrick Queen because Patrick Queen, he was struggling a lot last season and he was struggling with the assignments that they gave him, so I wouldn't expect them to be like, all right, Patrick Queen, you struggled with the assignments that we gave you, so here you go, run the defense. I wouldn't expect them to do that. And hopefully with this new defense, again, hopefully a simplified stuff and everybody can just get good at doing their job before they start trying to do all this other stuff. And hopefully everybody doing good at their job, they can compliment each other and just make things run a lot smoother. And of course, health is one of the biggest things. Health is one of the biggest things. So that hopefully will take care of itself, but they're not gonna give it to, obviously not gonna give it to a defensive lineman. Josh Bynes, that's another candidate, but I wouldn't expect them to give it to him either because that would be more switching, okay, Chuck Clark, okay, Josh Bynes getting out, I just wouldn't expect them to give it to him either because I don't expect him to be on a field 24-7. If somebody's gonna have a green dot, I would expect it to be somebody that's always going to be out there. So Marcus Williams would be the candidate for me if something happens with Chuck Clark. Marcus, they're not gonna give it to a corner, but you know if a corner could do it, Marcus Peters could surely do it. He would be the one that could surely do it, but I don't expect him to give it to him. I expect him to give it to somebody who has freedom to move about a bit. So again, a safety and again, Chuck Clark, he had freedom to move around and he was like right at the nucleus of the defense. He played around the box a lot so he could talk to the linebackers, the corners, the safeties, the defensive line. He helped get everybody set up. So that's why I wouldn't expect either corner to do it because they play their sides of the field. So, but Kyle Hamilton, that would be interesting but I just, I don't see it going down. But again, first we gotta figure out what's going on with Chuck. Are the Ravens gonna trade him or are they gonna keep him? Like, what's up? And of course we'll find all that out soon enough. But if he was to be traded, that would change a lot. It will certainly change a lot, especially around the middle of the field because that's where there are a lot of question marks in my eyes still for the Ravens at linebacker. Now I haven't got a chance to look at the undrafted linebackers that they signed yet. We'll do that soon. But right now you're inside linebackers, Patrick Queen, Josh Bynes. We'll see what happens with Malik Harrison. So it's a lot of question marks there too. A lot of unknowns. But yeah, so I don't know. I don't know what's going on with Chuck Clark. We don't know what's going on with Chuck Clark, man. So it's just a lot of confusion with that whole scenario right now. Is things gonna change? Is he gonna be shipped out? I know there been a lot of people talking about the Giants. Already people been talking about the Giants. Chuck Clark to the Giants. I'm like, wait, where did that come from? Like a lot, I haven't seen a lot of people talking about Chuck Clark to the Giants. Oh, Chuck Clark to the Giants for a pick in Cadarius, Tony. Chuck Clark to the Giants for a pick in Darius, Layton. Man, oh, maybe it's because there was the rumors about their receivers and wanting to trade their receivers. Maybe that's where it started. Then some people been talking about Chuck Clark to the Seahawks. Even though they got their two safeties, they got Jamal Adams and they got, or Quentin Summary. Oh, I forget the other safeties thing. I can't remember. But, so I don't know, man. I'm just, I know this video was all over the place, but I feel like that's exactly where this Chuck Clark stuff is all over the place. So, we don't know if Chuck Clark is going to remain with the Ravens or if he's going to be out.


Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial. In this one I'm going to show you how to create text and then I'm going to show you how to underline it as well. And I know that sounds kind of trivial and easy, but Premiere Pro has been very difficult to underline text historically with their legacy title engine. So let's get right into this. The first step is I've dragged and dropped some footage into my project panel as we do. And I've also dragged then and dropped that onto the timeline. So I've got a video here of this lady just walking with her ice cream, whatever. It doesn't really matter. It's the technique that counts. Alright, the next step here is you'll notice that I am first off working in the editing workspace. So if you're not left click on that to make sure that you are. Now go to your toolbar and down here you're going to see my toolbar. I'm going to actually decrease the size. Well, you know, that doesn't look too bad. Let's increase it a little. No, we're just going to leave it. Yeah, let's go right here. This is my toolbar and at the bottom of my toolbar you're going to see something called a type tool. Left click on the type tool or press T. The cursor has changed and now I can click anywhere on my video here. Left click and I've got the ability now to type in text. So I'm going to type in ice cream exclamation mark. Awesome. Now that might be all you need to do if you just want to put some text on there. If you want to move it, I'm just going to select the selection tool and I'm going to move it down to the bottom here. So it's a little easier to see. Okay, great. Now if you're following along with me, you want to now go up to the window, go to window and then left click and make sure there's a check mark beside effect controls. Pardon me. Actually, you know what? Make sure there is a check mark beside essential graphics. Effect controls is already open. Yes, essential graphics is the next one.  Ignore this. What you need to do is you need to left click on edit. When you left click on edit, you're going to see a whole bunch of new options. A lot of them, you may not even know they were there. You can center your text. You can align your text, reposition it, a whole bunch of things. But to underline it, all you need to do now is double click on the text so that it's all selected. So you can see here, I just double clicked on it and the whole thing selected. And now go down to here underneath text and you'll see the T with the line underneath it. Left click on that and you have now underlined your text. Now, as a bonus, if you want to do more things, like I said, you could center your text like this. You could change its position. You can change the, if you want to add a stroke to it, let's add a block. I could just add a nice little red stroke just for the heck of it.  There are all of these different options there. If you want to, you know, add a background in like that. Again, guys, that's outside the scope of this video. But to underline it, create text and do all those fancy things. That's all there is to it, guys. Thanks for watching this tutorial. I've got a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.


Welcome to Hawaii is my mainland. I'm Kauai Lucas here Fridays at 3 p.m. This Friday I have Gary Hooser, that name alone, you know, he has been in and around politics in Hawaii for a very long time. And he's worn many hats, majority leader of the state senate, kauai council member, many things. But in the last couple of years, Gary's been doing something very interesting in addition to all of the politics. He's been promoting progressive action at a deeper level by committing to two organizations. And instead of me trying to describe it, I'm going to let Gary describe it for us. Welcome Gary. Thank you Kauai. Thank you for having me here today. And you know, I think that in Hawaii, perhaps in the world, that we're at a very special time right now that this is a time for change, this is a time that there's a tipping point, I believe, with stuff that's going on. It has to be. I saw it. It has to be. And so I've been working with people all over the state and helped found two organizations, the Hawaii Alliance for Progressive Action, which is a 501C3 and the Pono Hawaii Initiative, which is a 501C4. And they both of them are trying to create change in Hawaii. Policy and politics. The 501C3 is focused on education and the C4, the Pono Hawaii Initiative, is on re-hardcore policy change and political change. So let's maybe, the HAPA has been around for longer years. Yeah. Yeah. So we're a little bit, so tell us what the experience of working within HAPA and getting some of these bright minds energized with Hawaii. With HAPA, we have a statewide board of people on every island, and it dawned on us about 18 months ago that we're all talking about why don't we elect better people, more progressive people, people who value the environmental protection and economic justice, social justice. Why aren't there more people like that elected? And we came to the conclusion that there wasn't good candidates. There were good people, but they didn't know how to run, and good candidates weren't stepping up. We formed a program called the Kuliana Academy, and the Kuliana Academy identifies and trains emerging political leaders, if you would. It's non-partisan. We don't support those candidates, but we train them, and it's been a phenomenal success. So you've had a couple of quohorts. Is that right? Yes. We're on our third one. Third one right now. It starts in September. Do you already have all of those? Yes. I'm open, and I encourage people to go to hopahai.org, h-a-p-a-h-i-dot-o-r-g, look under Kuliana Academy, and there's still room to apply. To apply doesn't cost the applicant anything. It's a competitive process. We have a class between 15 and 20 people, and it's just a phenomenal program that again identifies and supports and trains emerging leaders into how to run for public office, issues in advocacy, leadership development, and things of that nature. So I was very excited when I saw who was part of the first couple of quohorts, and very much looking forward to the next election. Now, is there a commitment to run for office if you sign up for the Kuliana Academy, or? There's no commitment. There's no firm commitment. We're looking for people interested in being involved in the electoral process. They either run for office in the near future or at some point, or to help somebody else run. That's the main thing. And there's no, I should say, there's no litmus test in terms of issues. So you don't have to be check a box that you believe a certain thing. We're looking for people who share our general worldview of economic, social, environmental justice. But beyond that, we're just looking for solid people around the state. We have a big group from Maui. All islands are welcome. Fantastic. And that tends to happen on, it's weekends. Yes. The program is five weekends spread over three and a half months. We fly everybody in from the New Orleans. We put them up in an hotel. We stay for two days. High quality educators, trainers, coaches, professional fundraisers, teach them how to raise money, professional communications people, teach them how to develop messaging. We brought in former governors to speak to them. It's a really top notch program. We're very proud of it. Okay. So that was the first floor. Now we have the Pono Hawai'i initiative. The Pono Hawai'i initiative is a totally separate organization. Separate boards, separate staff, separate budget. I'm the executive director on the Pono Hawai'i initiative at our president of the board of Hapa. That's the connection. You're the Hapa-Papa. I'm the Hapa-Papa. Who's the Hapa-Papa? Now the Pono Hawai'i initiative has two branches of activity, policy and politics. And we want to affect change in both of those areas. So the policy side would be developing solutions, affordable housing solutions, environmental justice solutions in terms of policy initiatives. Okay. So developing those. That is such a big deal. So let's just take a minute right there. Okay. For instance, how do you go about the developing affordable housing initiative? Well, first of all, you talk to those people that are in the business of doing that. Groups like Apple Seed or FACE or other advocacy groups will focus on affordable housing. And then you start asking questions. You start drilling down. I posted on Facebook a crowdsourcing question, you know, what should we do for affordable housing? That's almost 300 posts of people giving suggestions. What Facebook page? Well, this is my own Gary Hoosier. Okay. Yeah, so I did that. The Pono Hawai'i initiative has a Facebook page as well. So you start talking to people who know about housing, and then you start looking at what's realistic, what is within our constitutional legal purview, what can the state and county actually do, how much does this stuff cost, and will it have tangible impacts in our lifetime? Which I say in the next few years, it's my criteria. So we're in the process of doing that now for affordable housing. You want to develop initiatives, present them to councils or legislatures for action, hopefully, and then also look at a ballot initiative. The counties, each county, the four counties have the authority or the power in their charter where citizens can go out and get signatures and change the law directly or change the charter directly. You can't do that on the state level. How much control do you have on the actual wording on those ballot initiatives? Well, the sponsors have total control. The sponsor being? So if the Pono Hawai'i initiative, working with other groups in the community, came up with, let's say, a proposed charter initiative or ballot or ordinance, we would develop a language working with our attorneys. Okay.  You present those to the county clerk or the council, and they then would put it on the ballot. They would smith the ballot language, which is an abbreviated version, and that's what therein lies the problem sometimes. Yes. We saw that in a big way this past election. But there has been, on the neighbor islands, especially, several instances of people doing ballot initiatives and successfully. And so my goal would be to have one done in the city and county of Honolulu. It takes a lot of about 29,000 signatures, but to find subject matter, whether it's affordable housing, which is the leading thing right now, or it could be environmental, it could be anything within the county authority. And you can make broad strokes and policy change. Right now, the reason for our existence is the people in charge, the councils and the state legislature, are either moving way too slow or moving backwards, in our opinion. They're not as aggressive as they need to be to protect the environment, to help working people and social justice issues. They're taking tiny little bites or no bites at all. And I believe in the people that I'm working with that we require more. That the condition of the world, the disparity between the very rich and the very poor, the degradation of our environment, climate change, these issues are real and they're urgent and we need to take bold action now. And if the councils and the state legislature is not going to do it, the people through this ballot initiative can take those big steps. So for instance, last night I happened to come across a nice, I posted on my Facebook page, nice seven minute outtake of a meeting on Hawaii Island with Russell Ruderman and he described the process of why a lot of bills like the pesticide bills and the rat lung worm disease bill, why they didn't pass and how they didn't get heard in committees because there's this culture of we don't want people to look bad. So what do we do with about that? I mean, how are you, that's one of the... I think that our state government and to a large extent county government too is at a low. I was sort of in the state senate for eight years and I've been watching this and being involved with it for 15 or 20 and I've never seen as dysfunctional organization as what we've saw this in 2017. So what do we do about that? I think there's only two things we can do. One is to elect new people and so Hawaii initiative that's our second is the electoral political side. We are going to look out in the community, we are looking out in the community now looking for candidates to run for public office in 2018 and then we want to support them in alignment with our friends around the state. So changing people and pushing hard on the policy.  The legislature is either frozen, pushed around by special interests, they don't want to make a decision or they err on the side of big business and money. So what do you think the impact of having no republicans in the senate has been? I don't think that's healthy. I think we need a minority voice and if it's not coming from the republican party it should come from democrats and progressives that are there. Or maybe another party. But right now we will be looking to support people that will be more than likely running against democratic incumbents as a democratic. So that's kind of sacrilege in a party perspective about competitive primaries. Encourage one democrat to run against the other democrat. You said the Kuyana academy was nonpartisan. Exactly. But that's different from the Pono Hawaii initiative. Is there a party affiliation there? There's no party affiliation. The Pono Hawaii initiative will look at all parties. We're looking at people who support our worldview and who can win. And the reality of it is the democratic party dominates the politics in Hawaii. And I believe if you look at the platform of the party, that platform is a good solid platform that supports the environment, it supports these issues. It's beautiful. Yes. It's natural that that will be, a lot of our focus will be on those types of candidates. But if a green party or some other party emerges a candidate and they can win and they're willing to do the work, then we will certainly look at supporting them as well. The Kuyana academy in Hapa is nonpartisan.  We have green party speakers and we have other people do that. We don't target races. We don't support the candidates. We're strictly, and I don't participate in selecting whoever attends the classes. It's a competitive process. People fill out a form, they're interviewed by others. The Pono Hawaii initiative is different. It is politics and policy. And the difference, the fundamental difference is the federal law and donation, how donations are treated. The Pono Hawaii initiative, donors do not receive a tax deduction. On the Hapa is like other, like probably think tech might be where it's a five, one, two, three, it's for education, it's not a political bot. Okay. Well, I think this is a great place for us to take our little break and then come back and talk more. Great. We all play a role in keeping our community safe. Every day we move in and out of each other's busy lives. It's easy to take for granted all the little moments that make up our every day. Some are good, others not so much. But that's life. It's when something doesn't seem quite right, that it's time to pay attention. Because only you know what's not supposed to be in your every day. So protect your every day. If you see something suspicious, say something to local authorities. Living in this crazy world, so caught up in nothing that's making sense. Aloha. My name is Steven Phillip Katz. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and I'm the host of Shrink Wrap Hawaii, where I talk to other shrinks. Did you ever want to get your head shrunk? Well, this is the best place to come to pick one. I've been doing this. We must have 60 shows with a whole bunch of shrinks that you can look at. I'm here on Tuesdays at three o'clock every other Tuesday. I hope you are too. Aloha. Welcome back to Hawaii is my mainland. I'm Kawi Lucas. And with me here today is Gary, who's the executive director of the Pono Hawaii Initiative, which has two arms we learned. Policy and politics. We just talked about policy. So let's talk about politics. Politics, and I want to be clear, I'm a volunteer executive director. But politics is facing the reality of changing the people that sit in the state legislature or on county councils. There are people there, good people, people with good hearts that believe in a different future than I believe in and that the people I'm working with believe in that will err on the side of big business, big money, rather than the side of people and the environment. And I would like to support people that err on the side of people and the environment. And so I'm working under those parameters, if you would, and to say, well, how do we change, how do we move the needle at the state legislature? It's taken, we still have not banned single-use Styrofoam food containers. And how many years have we been working on that? We're banning plastic bags. It is crazy that it takes so many years and we're supposed to have a legislature and councils dominated by people who, Democrats, who believe in this stuff, but yet we still can't pass it. Payday lending, a practice that preys on the very hardest working people and old people and that we can't cap interest rates at 32%. Year after year we've been working on this stuff and it's just unacceptable. So how do we change that? We can lobby and we should. We should testify. We should write letters to the editor. We should carry signs. We should march. At the end of the day we need to change some of the people sitting in those chairs and that's what the politics side of it is, is going on and looking for people and say, you know, that person would be great. I wish they would run. And then asking them, why don't you consider running and then supporting them and nurturing them for public office? I have to say that we have friends in the legislature. I don't want to paint them all with a bad brush. We do have friends there who are working hard on these issues, but a few more people, like-minded people would move that needle and change the dynamics into a more friendly environment for the kind of issues that I believe we need to focus on. So as you've said this past session was, I can't remember the words you used exactly, but it was a disappointment, shall we say. Previous ads said epic fail. Yeah, that'll work. And so the advertiser called it an epic fail, civil beat called it a failure. I wrote it up a piece on many, many levels. There were some bright spots. Yes, yes. I went to signing about the inmate ID bill. Now before they're let out of prison, inmates will have IDs that allow them to get jobs, get a bus pass, all of those things. The really astonishing thing for me was, why did that need legislation? And why does it take so long to get? And that's part of the frustration. It should not. A lot of these things, again, like the plastic bags or disclosure of pesticides, they are simple basic requests that shouldn't take so long to achieve. And so the answer, in my opinion, is to look for new leadership, quite frankly. If the leaders that are in charge are not fulfilling the community's expectation, and I don't believe they are, then the community needs to take ownership of its government, find new candidates, support those candidates, and then stay involved in the process. It doesn't stop there.  They need to take ownership of their government, and it takes work. A lot of work. And you have been at this for a very long time. And one of the things that's different about your path is you're not a lawyer.  And I was sort of wondering, what is the mix in these Kuliyata Academy, or I don't know if you have chosen anybody yet through the Pono-Hoei initiative to support, but can you talk a little bit about how you think that mix of having attorneys, is that a good thing? Yeah, that's a good question. I think we look at who would make a good candidate and a good leader, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Generally speaking, the person would have some background or some experience in leadership. They would serve on an organization, they've been involved in something in a leadership. It could be the PTA, it could be the Sierra Club, it could be some organization. They've done some public advocacy, they've written some letters to the editor, they've testified, they maybe helped somebody on a campaign, they've been involved in a party.  We have a good mixture of emerging leaders coming out of the University of Hawaii, and I think that we need to get more of those coming out of the law school. We did this last class, we had 17 participants, 17 students, and I believe about four of them were practicing attorneys. It's not all time, and the ages range from 20 years old of our participants to the 50s. It's easy to say young emerging leaders, but all ages are welcome. We have all ethnicities, backgrounds, again, we have all islands, because leaders come in all shapes and sizes, and it depends on the community that they're representing. That's one of the first lessons, when someone starts talking about what they hope to accomplish, we remind them that what is the community want to accomplish? They might be focusing on listening to environmental issues, that's their passion, but the community might be education, it might be traffic, it might be other things, so they need to be in touch with the community so they can represent the community. They don't need to let go of the passion, but they need to be in touch with the community. Okay, that brings up a question, I've been a staffer at the legislature for the past two sessions, and one of the things is that it's sort of interesting disconnect between the calls you get in the office about the potholes. There are a lot of that, and then the sort of, or the homeless, and then the larger issues that are needing attention, our environment, our water supply, our sewage treatment facilities, our infrastructure, how do you get people to care about those things when it's not something they see, but it really impacts us.  I have to say, I believe the last two years with the Bernie Sanders campaign, followed by the election of Mr. Trump, followed by the, or involved at the same time with the TNT issue and the GMO issue, there's been a tremendous upsurge in the involvement and awareness of people on publications. I think people are more aware than ever that they need to get involved and they need to pay attention. And so, I mean, when did we ever have that many women march in the state of Hawaii, you know? I know, that was a glorious, glorious moment. And yet, what did we see actually on the floor in the legislature with our women legislatures? So, you know. I served, obviously, I served eight years in the Senate, eight years, two four-year terms in the council, and there's a couple of fundamental rules that I've learned that I believe every person who serves in public office understands. And one of the main ones is, you can't serve unless you get elected. And it's not a bad thing to have that on your brain all the time. So, every decision you make bears on your election. And, but they want to stay in office. But they have to, and so that, that both is a, is a frightening, freezing kind of thing, but it also is something that you have to do something. And if people understand that, that's what drives politicians, then that's where you have, that's why we have to run candidates. That's why we have to publicly say, we're not happy with the work you're doing. And to be clear, I don't believe in attacking the person, not attacking what's in their heart. Because I believe Legislator A may be pro-development, but doesn't mean he's getting paid off by developers. It means he looks at the world a different way than I do, you know, in terms of values. I might lean toward the side of environmental protection. He might lie here, she might lean on the side of development and jobs. And that's the way the world works. But I need to find people who are more interested in preservation than development to push the world that I want to see from my children forward. Okay, so one of the things is glacial pace. What do you think we can do about that?  You know, climb sea levels are rising, people on the street dying, literally dying. So glacial pace, we can't just wait till next year. You know, and that's what I hear, that's what's so frustrating is, well, we'll do this next year. Well, people are getting hurt. People are in the planet. And so a glacial pace is not acceptable. And that's why 2018 is going to be a pivotal year. And that's what we need to focus on. It's, you know, the elections of 2018 have, we have to see change. We have to see change at a local level. And I think we can set an example here. And because if we can focus on 2018, then I'm hopeful that we can mobilize people and to for that, this final, I should say final, but this big push during the next year. Okay, so digging a little more in this glacial pace thing, though, it's, you know, I had high hopes because, you know, absolutely one party state, we just really can't call each ourselves anything else anymore, that that was really going to make, okay, the Senate's going to be on it. They're just going to be able to get stuff done. And that didn't happen. That didn't happen. I agree. And it's about changing the dynamics. And the good news is that small numbers matter. So in the Hawaii State Senate, adding three new progressive, green, people-friendly, bold, transparent, I know it's asking too much possible, but adding three new people, three, just three, could throw the whole leadership of the Senate to an opposite direction in the house, because it's about numbers. There's 25 senators. So what's the most important number in the Hawaii State Senate? 13. 13. 13 is a majority. 13 can run the show. Three added to other good people that are already there could shift that dynamic. In the House of Representatives, four or five could do the same thing. It empowers other people who are like-minded, who are already there, but are in a minority. One person speaking out empowers other people to speak out. One person being bold empowers other people to be bold. Gary, I can't believe it. Our time is up, but we're ending on a very high note. That is something we can sink our teeth into. Three in the Senate, four in the House of Representatives. Yes, let's do it. Let's do it.


We met the Carlucci's, we instantly liked them. We met on orientation day of 2006 when Mary and Joe's son Nick and our son John became luck of the draw roommates. John bonded with Nick, they lived together through their Fairfield experience. We had many opportunities to spend time with Mary and Joe and that continued. Mary and Joe were just natural in their generosity. I think that Fairfield is lucky to have them, they're kind, they're humble, they've opened their home many times for accepted students and they're the perfect people to do that because they're just so natural and such believers in Fairfield. From the moment that we were greeted into their home, it was immediately apparent that this was a family that was warm, close-knit and a loving family that we could relate to.  Adam was the one who had to make the decision and he was convinced after that evening at the Carlucci's and having talked especially to Ryan who was the youngest Carlucci and still in school that this is probably going to be a place he's going to be happy. We are so lucky to have parents like Mary and Joe as part of our community. They are warm and they're generous and are great ambassadors for the university.


Unmanned aircraft systems, UAS, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to provide long-duration flights, improved safety, repeatable missions, and lower operating costs than traditional manned aircraft. However, these benefits are contingent upon several factors, including the type of aircraft used, sensor types, mission objectives, and existing regulations governing UAS operations. These regulations can be prohibitive for scientific users who may find it difficult to access or operate UAS platforms. This paper provides an overview of various UAS platforms and sensor capabilities, as well as a discussion of the current state of regulation, with the goal of providing insight into the potential of UAS for scientific applications. This article was authored by Adam C. Watts, Everett Hinkley, and Vincent G. Ambrosia.


Hey everyone, welcome back to theCUBE's continuous coverage of AWS re-invent 2021 live, yes live in Las Vegas. Lisa Martin with Dave Nicholson. Dave it's great to co-host with you, how you doing? Fantastic, great to be here with you Lisa. It always, we're going to have a great conversation next. theCUBE actually has two live sets, two remote studios. We've got over a hundred guests on the program talking about the next decade in cloud innovation. And Dave and I are pleased to welcome Scott Carter, the CTO of TISIS to the program, Scott, welcome. Thank you, it's really, really great to be here. Really, really. Great to have you on the program. Talk to us a little bit about TISIS and let's talk about your kind of journey to the cloud and your relationship with AWS. Yeah, absolutely. TISIS, we've been around as a company for about 40 years. We specialize in payment products, specifically on the issuing side, so card issuing. We work with some of the largest financial brands in the world and retailers as well. And a lot of what I always tell people is if you have a card in your wallet today, you could probably pull it out and at least one of those cards is something that we manage and service for our customers and we do everything, full life cycle of those payment products for our customers around the globe. On behalf of being a card holder, thank you. Talk to me a little bit about the AWS partnership. Here we are at Reinvent. Yeah, well we started a very special partnership with AWS about 18 months ago. We're about 18 months into the journey and really our goal and our vision is to build out a financial services cloud for all of our clients and our retailers and fintechs. We're really focused right now on migrating some of our key products to the AWS cloud environment. We've built, we've used us a variety of AWS technology both on-premise and in the cloud environment to migrate our processing platforms and all of our customer servicing systems. So we're in the middle of that journey. We've had a lot of successes so far. AWS is helping us out, our engineering team. It's working side by side with the AWS engineering team to produce what we believe is going to be the next generation of payments, especially on the card issuing side. Next Jen, that's important as a consumer's, consumer life, business life, we have that expectation that we're going to be able to transact whatever we want. Absolutely. Anytime, day or night. Absolutely, choice is key. Virtual, physical, no matter where you are, we want to be able to facilitate your payment and make sure you have everything you need to support you through the full card life cycle, the life cycle of your account. So you talk about those cards being in our wallets and handbags. I know there's one that's actually smoking. It's so hot from use in my co-host's handbag. What? But we appreciate that. Talk about this journey from the perspective of someone who I assume like me is not just out of college, right? You've been working in this business for a while and so you're going through the transition from the world of what some will refer to as legacy IT into the world of cloud. Talk about the challenges there. How do you go after the low-hanging fruit versus the high-hanging fruit? How do you evaluate something from an ROI perspective? Talk about that. Yeah, I get a similar question a lot. People are interested in the journey and especially CTOs and CIOs who are starting journeys of their own. I get a chance to talk with a lot of banks and retailers about their individual, like modernization, transformation journeys. And the basics are true about the journey and I had somebody tell me years ago that it's psychology, it's not technology. You've really got to address the people side of the equation first. You've got to focus on training and upskilling. Make sure that the team comes along on the journey and then you've got to be a really good recruiter. You've got to go out and get the talent and the skills you need to build a good foundation and you've got to have the right partners. We have partners like PWC and AWS and others that are really helping us with the journey. So that part of it's really, really important. The key is, and I think for us, we really started building our talent pool probably more than five years ago. And so we were able to bring in some skill sets in DevOps and some skill sets in nowadays AI. We do a lot with ML and AI skill sets, but we were able to build in a lot of cloud skills and start to build out our development environments first. Very, very early on that's what we did and we used those development environments for our engineers to cut their teeth and really get comfortable in the cloud. I remember probably about three years ago we installed our first Kubernetes cluster and we did it with a small team and then over time we really incented the team by allowing them to get more and more certifications and grow their skills. And we really built up a really large team around just our on-premise cloud first and then later that helped us with the migration, the journey into the actual public cloud for those same services. And we use that same team as there today. We really invest in our people. We think it's important to have a staff that's there. We insource our staff. We really believe in that. That's super important. Even though we have partners that we really value, we make sure that we've got a core group of people that are really passionate about the journey and about cloud and so that's what we do. You mentioned that kind of cultural aspect. And you mentioned bringing in a team starting years ago with a specific focus. What about the transition of folks who have been IT practitioners for maybe decades making that transition? How has that worked out culturally? Have you adopted a policy where you're basically saying, look, if you have experience with this stuff, great. Stay with it. But we're hiring net new people for the new stuff. Is that the strategy or is it a mix? No, you know, it looks like. I've seen some companies do that. I personally don't feel that that works because you need some subject matter experts.  You really need those people to come along on the journey. So what we've done internally is we created, for example, digital boot camps where our team members could sign up, they could come in. We actually construct the boot camps on about a six week schedule. We do two week sprints, so we do three sprints. We get them sort of inculcated and agile from the very beginning. We have demos at the end of each sprint. So they're working in an agile way as they're going through the training course. And then of course, that gives us a chance to identify people who are really high potential to move into some of our cloud teams and our DevOps teams. And so that's been really, really beneficial for us. And I would tell you that today, we've got people that have a broad range of skills just because of that digital boot camp. So they may have started their career doing a Simbler or Coball or something like that, but now they've tacked on some DevOps and some cloud skills. We have some that know DynamoDB and they also know DB2. And we like that. So they have a broad range. And those people bring a lot of deep expertise that you're not going to necessarily get with somebody that you're bringing new, sometimes straight out of college into your company. You've got to grow those people too, but you need to experience people there to help develop them. You know, we often talk about people, process and technology. And it's kind of a phrase that's thrown around, right? At every event and with every vendor. But I really admire the focus on the people part that you're talking about there and how it's really essential to enable the people, how you started very strategically starting with the people and the focus and the training on-prem, then making the decision that they've got the foundation. Now we need to migrate to the cloud. I'm curious though, why AWS, you have a lot of choice, of course here we are at reinvent, talk to me about why AWS is that strategic partner. You know, we've looked at a number of different cloud platforms for our business. And in fact, Global Payments is a large company, so TISIS is sort of the issuing part of that. And so we have really great relationships with GCP and other cloud platforms, even some Azure and certain pockets of the company for the issuing side of the business. We went through a thorough evaluation and we felt like the tools, the technology, the platforms, really the maturity of that platform and then the scale, scale matters in our business and a lot of businesses, it matters. The locations of all of the availability zones and the regions, that was really important to us. We were able to align all of the different AWS regions to where our customer locations are. And that's becoming more and more important as we try to be more flexible now about where we deploy our products around the globe. We want to make sure that whoever we partner with has a point of presence in those markets and that we can do that very, very quickly. We can stand up a new environment when we need to. And so that's been really beneficial that we made that choice with AWS. There's a lot of cloud platforms out there, there's a lot of choice, but we just felt like AWS was the best for us. AWS is also very, very, very customer focused. They probably would say customer obsessed. Really that customer flywheel that generates everything that we'd even heard this morning in the keynote. Culturally, is Tsis similar to AWS in that respect? And can you share a little bit about that? Talk to us about that. Our reputation as a business is based on the relationships that we've built with our customers. And we're known for that in financial services. The Tsis brand and the way that we think about our customers and the way that we partner with them.  So they have a number of products and services. We support those, we manage those products, we build on top of those products for them. And so we really understand that it's important, not only that you're building a platform, but that platform's got to be able to support all the different things that our customers do every day. And we want that to be broad. We don't want it to be narrow. It's not just focused in one area. If our customers come to us and they say, well, you know, I need to build a data and an analytics platform, or I need some really specific fraud capabilities. We want to be able to support that on demand with our customers. And that's really the journey that we've taken with AWS. AWS is enabling that for us. That on demand is key. I think we've, one of the things that's been in short supply during the last 22 months is patience, right? That's right, absolutely. Absolutely. So describe the role of a CTO in that process. What does that look like? Because this isn't, you're not making unilateral decisions here. Obviously you're working with the team. But talk about the CTO's perspective as you make decisions about whether AWS is the right fit for a part of your environment or GCP or something else. Yeah, I think, you know, we have a long history of supporting our own solutions and supporting our systems.  Like we have to give you that. And we have to give it, we have a really specific amount of time. We have to give that back to you. And so we really understand operations and support and how to scale applications and systems and how to build really, really reliable solutions. We really understand that part of the business. So whoever we partner with, and you asked about my decision, CTO, it was really a group decision. You know, I have to partner with our business team to get their buy-in. They have to support the decision, whatever we do. It's a big investment we're making to move to the cloud. And so, but we have to make sure that we cover off the basis. They've got to be able to at least, whatever whoever our partner is, they've got to be able to at least provide the operational support and the reliability that we're able to give our customers today. So that's a big part of that. So it's not just a spreadsheet. That's right. Of technical qualifiers. That's right. And whoever has the most boxes checked wins. That's right. You're taking into consideration all of those cultural aspects and the goals of the business. That's right. Chief technology officer, it's not just about the technology, it's about the business. That's right. Fair to say. So I have a very, very close relationship like with the president of our business, Gail and Jowers. And we've built a team. And we have on the actual modernization or transformation team, we have members that represent that from a business perspective. They report directly into the business teams. And then we have people from my side of the company. And we work every single day together and we're driving this forward. So the important part of that is at some point we go to our customers and we show them, hey, for this particular product or service that we're offering, we're going to be moving that to cloud on this kind of a schedule. And we're there together. It's a unified front and a unified communication with our customer to explain that journey. And we think that's really important that we do it that way. And not do it, like I've seen some companies, they'll segment it and sort of technology or IT goes off and they kind of do their own sort of cloud initiative. To us, that wouldn't work for our business. It's got to be together and in joint with the business. You sound like a very much a transformational CTO to me versus a traditional CTO. And working at a legacy company that's been around for 40 years, that's impressive that the company is that forward in thinking, first of all about its people, but also about that business IT partnership that that has to be in lockstep. We talk about that all the time, but it's hard to facilitate that. But you really feel like you guys have done a phenomenal job with some key strategic foci, is that the word? Like Dave was saying, it's not a spreadsheet, a checklist of technology requirements that people element is absolutely table stakes. Absolutely.  You're going to experience some challenges. Your customers might not be happy with every decision you make. So you have to be in it together. You're going to have to make that commitment as a company. And that's what we decided early, early on is that we were going to do that. And it's worked out well for us. What are some of the things that are going to be happening next for thesis as we hopefully round out the year 2021 and go into a much better 2022? We've got some really big things on the horizon. One of the things that we're working on right now is we've since we've been at this for 18 months, we're starting to get to a point where we have certain solutions that are ready to go. We're going to be able in 2022 to make some key announcements around some parts of our platform. They're going to be available in AWS as a offering. So we're excited about that. A lot of our customer servicing and some of the things that we do outside of our core processing platform are already cloud native. We run them in a cloud environment on our premise. And some of those services, we're going to be able to go ahead and launch into the AWS in 2022. So we're really excited about that. We're right now in the throes of building an onboarding team that's going to be working with both our customers and with some of our internal teams to make that shift and start migrating those applications out to the environment. So big, big things underway there. We've got a couple of really key strategic relationships that we've built over the last 12 months or so that are all in on our cloud journey. And so we're going to be able to announce some of those pretty soon, some of our customers and prospects that really want to be on the journey with us. So we're pretty excited about that. And I don't want to spoil any surprises there. So we'll wait and let that come out with the schedule. But yeah, we've got a lot of great things ahead and we're very, very excited for where we're going. Awesome. It's got great staff. I love how transformational you are, the focus that you guys have on the people as well as the technologies and the processes. Exciting. Congratulations on your 18 month journey. And we'll have to have you back on so we can hear some of those little Easter eggs that you just dropped. Yeah, I'd love to. I'd love to be back on. This has been great. All right. Thank you so much. And how did you know I have a credit card on my wallet burning a hole? How do we do that? I've been feeling bad about saying that the whole time. This is not going to go well when we're done here. It's not wrong. We're in Vegas. We hope you've enjoyed this segment for Dave Nicholson. I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE, the global leader in live tech coverage.


Good morning. Mr. President Shiman Peres, it is really a great honor to have you back with us in Davos. I would say you are a member of the community. And this year is particularly special because the meeting here is at the culmination of your remarkable seven years of Presidency of Israel, which has been so important for your country, the region, and the world. Nationally, you have worked on and let many pivotal social courses, including for improved protection and living conditions of asylum seekers in Israel as well as the situation of many citizens. I could go on and I have your whole list of what you have done for your country. I just can't say it's remarkable. And at the end of this meeting I will have the great honor to give you an award. And actually it never happens in Davos that we have an award ceremony. But you are so special as a global role model, as a symbol for someone with conviction that we will make not only an exception, we will make a very cherished exception. And for me, Shiman, if I may say so, you always have been a great mentor. We know each other since so many years. You have been a supporter of our cause, improving the state of the world. So thank you for being here. But before I have the pleasure to hand over this award as a reminder of your time in Davos, and of course we hope that you will join us for many, many more years. I would like to use this opportunity to ask you some questions. And first, of course, I would like to come back to the session yesterday and in the best spirit of the dialogue which we have in Davos. In your judgment, Mr. President, is Iran serious when it says it has no interest in building nuclear weapons? It would be serious if they would build nuclear weapons. But just by saying that's not serious. Iran doesn't need the five plus one to stop the nuclear story. For example, nobody forces Iran to build nuclear missiles. What for? Does it have any use? Nobody forces Iran, for example, to support Hisbalah, which is today the greatest killer in Syria. They don't need anybody. Nobody has to force Iran to spend so much money on the nuclear capacities.   One you declare and the other that you omit. Occasionally, the part that you omit is more important than the part that you announce. And you asked the President, very simple, look if you're for peace with all. Does this include all countries? And you've got a smile. It's nice, but it's not an answer. I think they have to. I don't think they reached this point out of choice, but also out of pressure. And I think there may be another pressure that we are not aware of. And that is of the young generation in Iran itself. For us, Iran is not an enemy. We don't want to fight. We are not historically hostile. We don't have common border. And we don't see any reason why again spend so much money on hatred and in the name of religion. So the declaration was so promising and the omission was so obvious that they don't have a better answer to outline the contradiction with Neto. We know there are still any differences in approaches. But let's hope that this joint presence in Davos, maybe in the long term, may lead to more positive results in the relations of Iran with the world and particularly also with Israel. You know, I asked the clerk from South Africa, he stood, he was also under sanctions. He says when sanctions were declared against South Africa, the South African thought they can take it. They had enough money, they weren't worried. But then they discovered something they didn't focus. All of a sudden, they were boycotted by the rest of the world. They weren't invited to football games. They weren't invited to Olympics. They weren't invited to any place. All of a sudden they felt alone. If Iran will continue to do what they're doing, then automatically, I believe, in addition to the sanctions, they will see that the world doesn't like these sorts of bluffs, which are so dangerous. Mr. President, I remember when I visited you in 1903 in your office and you encouraged us so much to provide a platform for Palestinian, Israeli relations and reconciliation. And we had many, many successes, semi-successes, and maybe even more disappointments. Now we have embarked as a forum again with your blessing into the break, the impasse initiative. And so I would be very interested to hear from you. Is there hope for a break through in the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians and the tremendous efforts Secretary Kerry, whom we will see this afternoon, is undertaking? You said we had many successes and many failures. It's right. Why do we have so many? Because we have many fronts. Would it be just one single confrontation? We would solve it. But since we have seven or eight or nine, so two were solved with Egypt and Jordan very much with the help of Davos. The first, you shouldn't forget, the national never forget, the first fantastic conference in Casablanca. There are 4,000 Arabs and Jews for the first time came together under this organization. Now I believe that two solutions is already agreed. Before it, people didn't believe we shall make peace with Egypt. We should make peace with Jordan. They were very skeptical. They didn't believe that we can start something with the Palestinians. We start. There are difficulties, but neither of us has an alternative in real terms. There is no single leader to this confrontation, but many different groups, the Americans, the Europeans, the Arab League, many countries. So it's not simple. It's not to unwatch. It's many watches at many times. But all told, the present situation is killing the Arab world. The terror is tearing them to pieces. You know, there is no coherent country today. And Israel offers, in real terms, a sincere peace. And we are ready to offer what we can. We are a typical Middle Eastern place. We have shown that you can make from a desert and economy. Shimon, here in these Congress halls this morning, some discussions are taking place in a restricted group on Syria, particularly after we had those discussions in Geneva earlier this week. But what is your own personal view once the situation in Syria, on Syria? All the elements which exist today in Syria are not elements for solutions, but elements for confrontation. We have to discover a new element that may unite them. The new element is made of two parts, the younger generation and science. Because President Assad, he says, is a president. What sort of a president is he? He killed 140,000 people. 600,000 people are in hospitals without taking care of 3 million refugees. They don't know where to spend the night and what to have for breakfast. My God, is that a country? And there is nobody inside that can make up its mind. There are terrorists, many of them. There are terrorists coming from Europe, even non-Muslims. 5,000 apparently from Europe. And even beginning with Iran, why does Iran support them? Why does Iran send Hezbollah to kill? What for? Because I don't believe that he reached, he over-reached already the human capacity to continue like it. And the solution to Syria will come from within Syria, Syria. Because the outside parties are not looking for a solution. So they did one thing, and that's about the gas. When the Russians and Americans agreed, it's an important achievement. But they do believe that finally, the young Arab generation will be solutions. And I suggest to everybody not to look at Arab parties, even not to look about Arab religion divisions, but to look to the ages. The young age of the Arab world is the solution to their problem. And we and you, we can be of help. We cannot be the major player. And I think it won't take so much time, as we estimate. And Iran too, I mean, it took them 15 years until they decided they don't want to announce it. But there is no solution, no alternative. And I think also America is today behaving rightly. Because President Obama says, tell me, I have been in Afghanistan for 30 years. What did I do there? And I think we have to let them do it. And I think the Arab world must come in and support the new generation in Syria, or a new generation in Syria, to save the land. I can only support what you are saying. And as a small contribution of half-aridation, we have invited some Syrian, some young people to be part of the conference. And when you talk to our global shapers, to our young global leaders, they just cannot anymore understand that the global civilization is not anymore capable to deal with such a tragedy as we see it in Syria. And our hope is really the young generation. You know, I want to make one remark about the global participation, which is interesting. You know, for many of us, they say America is in the Middle East for oil. America is an interest. America doesn't need any more the oil of the Middle East. They have more oil than Saudi Arabia. So nobody can say that America is there for oil, because there is no need for. Europe doesn't need oil either. You have your own supplies. And today, in a strange way, the democratic world is in the Middle East not for interest, but for values. They want really to offer peace and freedom and seriousness. And I suggest not to be so pragmatic and cynical. The United States and Europe are fighting there to enable people to be free, to give women equal rights. They are today subjected.  And science, particularly what's offered here, can make poor, growing people. And that's what should be done. And we have to work together and take ourselves more seriously than we do. We are not just the business. We are humanity. And global companies are based on good will, not on power. And people who are sitting here are willing to contribute. Many of them are giving back money. So I think we have to change our self-image, too. We want to appear on un- and macho, on dollar and pragmatic. But who says to be macho and pragmatic is such a great thing? Maybe to be kind and considerate is more satisfying in life. Maybe to help is more satisfying than to rule. Mr. President, it just reconfirms our philosophy. Today you cannot anymore split your life into an economic side and a social side. I think you are one human being.  Not only that, I think we divided our life only between the realistic, the reality, and between the virtuality, the imaginary. Now the latest conclusions in science is it's one reality. Virtuality is part of our reality. The way we feel, the way we dream, the way we think is part of our real life. And by enlarging or matching reality and virtuality, every person has a greater capacity. They call it augmentation to augment the capabilities of a human being to making stronger, more self assured, more positive. This is a real strength. And by the way, it goes both for human being and material, because material too are beginning to pay a part in the Internet. I think this, let's say forward orientations, this curiosity for new things, new developments, is probably the secret of your use, because you are, in my opinion, you are the oldest participant on paper. But in your mind, you are one of the youngest participants. Now, can you just tell us with your visionary attitude to the world, what do you see as a major change happening at this moment? In the world? In, let's say, in the scientific technology. The main thing is called reshaping of the world consequences for society. What is the biggest reshaping taking place which has consequences for society? Three things, one I mentioned. The extension of science by combining virtuality and reality. Which means a man can improve himself both physically, intellectually, and mentally, and make himself stronger, deeper, and a better person for himself. It's a beginning and it's sensational. I mean, the consequences of it are great. The second thing is, Klaus, what you mentioned. This Davos said that the greatest problem is today the gap between rich and poor. I think it's right, but what is being rich and what is being poor? You cannot judge by money. The person that has a lot of money is not necessarily a rich or a happy person. Poverty stands from the intellectual, emotional, and gap. I mean, I think it's the end of foreign aid. I do not believe that foreign aid will be continued in the present way, namely giving money to poor people. Because the money doesn't reach the poor people, it reaches the rich people in the poor countries and that creates corruption. What we can offer is science and the gap stems from the wrong handling of the use of science. We invested our supreme science achievements in information, communication, entertainment. We ignore the most important things. We didn't invest in education. We didn't invest in health. We didn't invest in food. What we did, for example, in the way of communication, we took a huge computer that would hardly enter this room and we made for him a smartphone by introducing a small chip. It's a sensation. Otherwise, only the rich people would have computers. But when you make such a small computer, everybody can have it. The same goes with education. We can invest in education, technologies, communications that will make it available to everybody. You know, if a friend of mine asked me, what is the first step to help a child to escape poverty? I told him teaching English. The minute that the Hebrew-speaking boy will begin to speak English, he is beginning to end poverty. Now, about health. We are now building a second floor of agriculture, medical agriculture. Agriculture supplies us calories and food. Agriculture supplies us well, medical. And it can be available to everybody. The poor people must have an equal entry to education, to health, and food. We can increase the food production 10 times. It doesn't cost so much money. And I think what I would recommend to the Davos conference is to make all important issues and join the same investment and intention of high tech. It's possible, it's available. I'm speaking from a country that has nothing and now is flourishing. And we are typically Middle East. And I think this is the way to go out. Not the distribution of money, but the distribution of knowledge. The new currency is knowledge, not money, not pennies. And it can be done by the way in small groups as well. Here, for example, we start something new. You know, two or three students at universities are making a small high tech group. And they take two or three hundred dollars alone. We provide them the infrastructure. There are already 13,000 companies like it in Israel. 13,000, 60,000 students. And they don't need the large companies. It's a new way to do it. And I would recommend to governments and companies go to the universities. Don't go to see the great organizations. Go to see the great knowledge. And better visit a laboratory than to visit a bank. Because all the new things are not in the printing of money, but in the using of ideas. So we have to change it. I think we are now reaching the second part of science, which is making it more humane. Not to enable the people to be richer in money, but to be the people richer in human capacity to overcome the old sins and old gaps. And I want to tell you that people who are here had COs. I think you are more serious than you think. I see many COs are giving back money to their communities. I don't think that the manager of a CEO wants to go back home. And this boy or girl will ask him, father, did you do something anything for us? Or just you're making money out of the poor? He says, no. I want to be a contributing person. And this is the new spirit. We have to improve our own vision, not to run it on a technological, realistic, pragmatic level, because nothing is just realistic or just pragmatic. A great deal is visionary and a great deal is virtually. Simon, you are the great visionary. But before we, I have the great honor to hand you over this special award. I would like to ask you one question, which I'm very curious about, with your use. And constitutionally, you come to an end of your presidency. What will you do afterwards, except coming back to Davos? Can you tell us? I'm going to work. I don't think you need an official title to do anything. I think the problem in life is not what to be, but what to do. Suppose you have better food, so what? You will do better things, yes. That will be remembered. And first of all, I have a great post, you used to tell me all experts are experts for things that did happen. You don't have experts for things that may happen. So he says here I can find the drop. What is going to happen? I'm not dealing with things that happened. I'm all my life looking for things that may happen. And believe me, it's really great. And the Banguion himself, I know he was crazy about size. Every time a scientist would come in, come in, he would show him the table, he says, can a table think? And all of them says no. He didn't, Banguion, focus. The tables are beginning to think. We have now the internet of things. What does that mean? That the table or refrigerator can compute on their own right. You put a sensor in them and they will tell, they won't ask the lady of the house, they will look at the refrigerator. If it's empty, he will invite already all the food he needs.  It's a different world. But on top of it, if I would have to describe myself, I would say that I'm a dissatisfied optimist. What I mean by it, the Jewish people, when people ask me what is the greatest contribution of the Jewish people to the rest of the world, my answer is straightforward, dissatisfaction. A good Jew cannot be satisfied. It is so untruly. But on the other hand, they must be believer. So I am a dissatisfied optimist. I have never a sad moment because I believe. I have never a happy moment because I never achieved everything I wanted to. So I live in this great curiosity and let me tell you something. Don't spend so much time on vacation and entertainment. The greatest entertainment and the greatest interest is in working, not in resting. And believe me, you are by far healthier than you think. And even more so, you have more talent that you estimate. You are only partly used. And I think if you will adopt this contradictory synthesis of being both dissatisfied with what exists and visionary about what can be done, you will be happier at the age of 150 years. Thank you. Shimon Kanai, lead leader in my definition, has first brains and you have brains as you have shown again. He has vision. He has a soul and he has values. You have it. And he has a heart. And heart means passion and compassion. And you have shown it again. And in this spirit, and very exceptionally because we have so many leaders always in Davos, but I have the great honor to give you an award, a global leadership award. And actually, you get so many, you certainly get so many special medals and whatsoever. So we felt we should do something special. And we have here, you see a bell. And the text is to President Shimon Peres, a unique visionary and global statement for tolling the bell of peace and harmony. To take this bell, go around the Middle East and call the people. And tell them the bell I shall take. This bell is a product of the Israeli effort. I am the humble recipient of it, but we have to use it, not just to keep it. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. It says integrate the following function. The given function is x into under the root of 1 plus 2 x square. Let us now move on to the solution. We have to find the integral of x into under the root of 1 plus 2 x square dx. Now here we see that the derivative of 1 plus 2 x square is 4 x and we want to substitute x dx to use the substitution method. So we put y is equal to 1 plus 2 x square. So dy by dx is equal to 4 x and this implies dy is equal to 4 x dx. Now to substitute x dx for dy we need to divide both sides by 4. So x dx is equal to dy by 4. Now x is dy by 4 and 1 plus 2 x square is y. So substituting all these values the integral becomes under the root y dy by 4. So this is equal to 1 by 4 into integral of y to the power 1 by 2 dy. Now this integral is equal to 1 by 4 into y to the power 1 by 2 plus 1 upon 1 by 2 plus 1 plus 3 as we know that the integral of y to the power n dy is equal to y to the power n plus 1 upon n plus 1 plus c where c is the constant of the integration. Now here n is 1 by 2 so this becomes 1 by 4 into y to the power 3 by 2 upon 3 by 2 plus c which is again equal to 1 by 4 into 2 by 3 into y to the power 3 by 2 plus c. So this is equal to 1 by 6 into y to the power 3 by 2 plus c. Now substitute the value of y here y is 1 plus 2 x square so this becomes 1 by 6 into 1 plus 2 x square to the power 3 by 2 plus c. Hence the integral of the given function is 1 by 6 into 1 plus 2 x square to the power 3 by 2 plus c. And this completes the question. Bye for now. Take care and have a good day.


Jim, we are following this UK election news. It's pretty incredible. Theresa May, may not. I mean, it's rather extraordinary. It was probably one of the great gaffes of all time, calling this election. I think she'll be out. But what's even more important is it's not a ripple in the market. There was a time, of course, with Brexit where when people were wrong, the market went down. I think that what's happened is not that we're ignoring it. I think there's a recognition that polling is no longer valid. And the idea that May had a big majority, and then it turns out that she didn't, didn't shock anyone because the faith in polling has been lost. And everything's considered to be a crapshoot, and so therefore it's, no one makes big bets anymore. So there's no bets to unwind, which means it didn't have any impact.
