Thank you guys for being here. Thank you for live streaming, it's for live streaming. It's very 21st century. Yeah, thank you Elizabeth, that was so beautiful. Thank you so much. I don't know if Anne is here yet, but thank you Anne Pasternak, our leader and director here at the Brooklyn Museum. And thank you to you all for being here. I also wanna say thank you very specifically to Allie, Alicia, Lauren, and Andy who did this. And to everyone else at the Brooklyn Museum who has worked to make this exhibition happen, this program happen, this catalog happen. Let's clap for them. Because it's so nice of you guys to be here. Sorry, I'm Rejecto Hopley, co-curator at the exhibition. And I'm Katherine Morris. And we're so happy to be here. We're excited we did this last night too. We just laughed. Why don't you say a few quick words about the context for today. This symposium is part of a long process and I think it folds really well, we hope, into a conversation that started this institution about 18 months ago when we had a convening of a number of our colleagues, many of whom are here in this room today, current and former colleagues, and a group of artists who we knew we wanted to have in this exhibition. And in that convening, we've heard two really important things from the artists specifically. And they were, number one, they wanted this exhibition to reflect their voices, tell their story and their words. Number two, they also wanted to have some other smart people talk about their work. So, as a result, we have come up with a plan for this day and for the two publications that we're making for this exhibition, one that already exists in the source book, covering the period 1965 to 1985, a source book that we've spent loving amounts of hours researching and compiling historical documents to hopefully set a framework for this exhibition today. Today's symposium will result in the second publication, with the contributions of our colleagues that we're so thrilled to have here today to talk Dr. Kelly Jones, Dr. William McMullen, Dr. Runa DeSousa. That will be coming later, so we can support that. And just to point out, Dr. Huey Copeland will also be writing for this publication, but he couldn't be with us today, because he's very, very busy. I guess, I don't know. We miss him. But he will be in the catwalk. So the other thing that we wanted to just say very quickly, and we're so happy that, Elizabeth, that you read that poem, because another thing that is, we're so happy to have some of the artists here today to be in this room, but also kind of perhaps watching a live stream if they couldn't be here, but also those who are no longer with us is the show that encompasses a large swath of the 20th century. So we're very happy to be able to honor everybody. And also we have the poem that Elizabeth read is in this source book, but there's another poem as well by Audrey Lorde that I wanted to read to you guys, because Audrey Lorde is also no longer with us and is an incredibly inspirational person in general, but was incredibly inspirational for us in creating this exhibition and this source book. And this poem in particular from 1973 encompasses some of the, I guess some of the conflicts that we were trying to get at out of the period of the work that you guys will see if you haven't seen the show yet and that you'll learn about today. So I'll just read it. Who said it was simple. There are so many roots to the tree of anger that sometimes the branches shatter before they bear. Sitting in netics, the women rally before they march, discussing the problematic girls they hire to make them free. An almost white counterman passes the waiting brother to search them first. And the ladies neither notice nor reject the slighter pleasures of their slavery. But I, going bound by my mirror, as well as my bed, see causes in color as well as sex. And sit here wondering which mean will survive all these liberations. It's hard to follow one Audrey Lorde. So we will quickly just jump to a little bit of information. We are really thrilled today that before, we will have a group of teams that are working with us at the museum. They're called the digital artisans. And they will be introducing each of the artists who are being interviewed today. So they will be introducing themselves on the stage and telling us a little bit about the artists. Just want to mention that the digital artisans are a feminist project. It's a three year, eight team program that goes back to the earlier 1972 request for paid work. Pay team program exploring feminism, feminist art and digital materialism for the museum. New York City teams participate, explore art, discuss key readings around feminisms and feminist art movements, talk race, gender, sexuality, meet with leaders in their fields, create resources for sharing what they've learned with larger team audiences. In the summer, they will be launching their first new team website, feminist team website, bkmdigitalartisans.com. Today, we'll be employing by five of these teams, leaders who will be working part over the next, who have been working part over the last few months to produce this website. In addition to introducing the artists who will be in our conversations today, they're also conducting research, creating workshops, and planning programs around what we want in a revolution the rest of the summer. So we're excited about that.


Okay, in the last tutorial we created a PHP file that read a text file line by line, and that's the output of it right up here. And today we're going to do basically the same exact thing, but we're going to sort it so the list is alphanumeric, and then at the end we'll go and reverse sort it. So real quick, in the previous tutorials I mentioned how you can use whatever programming language you want when it comes to server-side scripts, obviously some are more suitable for server-side scripts, but you can write stuff in C if you want it for server-side programs. And you can also use shell scripts, now you can call shell scripts directly, or the way I've done it a lot lately is calling them from within my PHP code. So quickly I'm going to create a PHP file called sort.php, I'm going to put in my PHP tags here, and then I am going to close my PHP tag, and I gave it the system command here so I can put in a command line command here, and I'm going to give it the sort and the name of the file that I want to sort, and if you're familiar at all with shell scripts or Unix command line, you know, sort will sort that alphabetically. So if I was to save this and go here and go into our sort PHP file, you can see it put the names alphabetical, now just like in the first tutorial, we didn't put line breaks in there, and so they're all put on one line, but if we go and look at the code you can see everything is in alphabetical order here. Now to put the line breaks in, we'd have to pipe this into something else, you know, maybe a while loop or said or something of that sort, and it can get very sloppy, so I'm not even going to try here, we're just going to go into the PHP tutorial, but I just want to bring you up that you could do stuff that way, and you could get it to work, and it just can get very sloppy, like I said a lot of times I would actually have completely, I would have my PHP script that would call shell scripts, so I would have multiple different files doing random little different things, and I'm trying to get better about not doing that. So within our PHP tags here, what I'm going to do now is just like last time, I'm going to create an array, I'm going to call it lines, and then we're going to use this file function, and we are going to call our names.list, remember to end each command with a semicolon, and now last time, what we did, we said for each, and then we said our array of lines as names, so we're looking at each item, so for each, we're doing a for loop for each item within our array here, which is each line, we are going to create a variable called names, and then we are going to do something for each line, and last time, we did something like echo dollar sign names, and we gave it a line break, so we would have the line break there, and semicolon there, let's go ahead and save that real quick, and run it, there we go, they're not an alpha quarter though, because we haven't done that yet, this is basically what we did in the first tutorial. So how do we sort it, so it's in alphanumeric order, well it's actually going to be a lot simpler than you might think, we are going to say sort, we're doing a sort function here, and we're going to pass it our array of lines, and that is it, so basically we're saying, you know, let's go over the whole thing, we're going to say okay, we're going to create an array here, this array is going to look at the file called this, and basically put each line as a separate item in the array, then we're just going to use the sort function and say hey, sort everything in here, put everything in alphabetical order, and replace it with the alphabetical alphanumeric list, and then we read lines one at a time alphabetically, so if we refresh up here, you can see they are now in alphabetical order, let's make that a little bit bigger for you guys, so they're now in alphabetical order, so how do we do reverse order, well that's even harder, we have to say our sort for reverse the sort, so let's save that and refresh, and there we go, now we have the reverse order of our text file, so that is a quick look at sorting text files with PHP, once again this is number two in this series of PHP tutorials, there's quick little tips preparing us for creating full applications using jQuery, HTML, and CSS as the user side, and then occasionally we're going to use some PHP to grab information from a server, so just preparing you for that, this is going to allow us to create some applications that are very easily ported to pretty much every platform, so anything that's running a modern operating system, whether it be Mac OS, iPhone OS, Android, Linux, Windows, free BSD, any of the BSDs, and forgive me if I skipped over your operating system, but anything really this stuff is going to run on everything, because the more complex stuff is going to be done on the server side, and everything else is going to be done with basically JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, which everything is compatible with pretty much, and we're going to learn how to package those as some of the standalone applications, or through a web browser, so keep on watching, because that's what's in store once we get through some of these PHP and jQuery tutorials, so I thank you for watching, please visit FilmsByChris.com, that's Chris with a K, if you are interested you like these tutorials, if you like where I'm heading with this, then definitely not only comment, but give me a thumbs up on this video so that I know, and I hope that you have a great day.


Ivan Shaparinov with a miniature win in round one of the Gibraltar Masters, a great start for the Bulgarian, he joins us in our studio to tell us how it happened. Ivan, an 18 move bullet win with the black pieces today, things could not have gone better. Yeah, I think this is the quickest win I had here in Gibraltar for sure but maybe in all my life, I don't know, I didn't remember a quickest game so and it was kind of theoretical game, so I can show, so okay till here Kunifor is a rare move but nowadays it's, the people are playing this move quite often, so 97, this is the choice of Nipomiasci lately, he's playing 97, because the most normal move is 27 and they're like probably thousands of games, so okay 97, 93, so here I think the main move is Bishop e2, c5, castle, and this is the famous game, Carson against Nipomiasci, so I think they just took, Bishop g4, so this is the main, this is the main theory, but okay my opponent played Q3, move that I checked, but it's not the most popular move, but okay it's kind of interesting way to play, so the whole idea is that here after b6 the white wants to play e5 and just try to play direct attack with h4, h5, and actually I analyzed this and it looked very unpleasant for black, I mean black needs to play really carefully to not be worse, and the only way is b5, because otherwise the attack is very strong, h5, Ng5, maybe on some point c4 and Qh3 is coming, so okay b5 is typical that you just try to disturb your opponent on the other side, so the whole point is that if white continues with h5 I can just play b4 and if you take here I can take there and then the center is collapsing, so this is the whole point of the idea. But this is interesting that black must play b5 to generate counterplay because okay the knight on d7 is very passive and you don't have any counterplay, but actually it's very logical because when it's going on the flank attack you need to do something on the other side, or here b5 is the main idea that you want to break the center with b4, and it should be b5 is very concrete because now after b5 I have to rebate, and the whole point is that okay b5 to look very logical, just go back, but I just win very nice pawn here, or first I take on x3, maybe better, then I take N95 and the point is that the rook on a1 cannot escape, so d, b5. Well this is a very beautiful line. Yeah, this is the whole point of the b5 move. And the rook is just lost. So you're just winning, so this is the point that white cannot play b2, and actually here what I remembered it was that his force draw, but rook b1 is the only move, and okay black can play on a4 win with b6, but this position actually is not very clear after rook b1, and now I think it was something like b4, cast immediately, and very good compensation in h5. So the main move that I wanted to play after rook b1 is taking on f3, takes, bishop takes c5, so this is very congruent. This is crazy. Yeah, this is crazy, but this is like force draw because the point is that black wants to rook b5, queen d3 and then mate. And then mate. So the only way is queen c5, queen d3, very nice move, and this is probably a kind of draw-ish end game, which, okay, still black is a little bit better after rook c8 probably, but it's very close to be a draw. And white needs to know all of this to get here. Yeah, but I think the most difficult move is rook b1, and it's very difficult because bishop c6 looks interesting, also maybe bishop b4 looks natural, but okay, white can play rook b2 and kind of surviving, but simply to make rook b1 is very difficult. And he actually took a long time in this position before he made the mistake with queen a4. He started to think I was sure he would not find it, because if you don't see it immediately, then it's very difficult. So it's something you need to be prepared with, actually. Yeah, it's actually his only move, otherwise you just lost. But this is the kind of approach you're looking for in an open tournament in round one to complicate things with the black pieces? No, I just played my normal opening, green fold that I played lately, and okay, he wanted to surprise him because he never played this line, and okay, I was better prepared. So, I mean, he really needed to be more careful because, okay, 97 I never played, but it's one of the main moves nowadays. And okay, so he continues with queen a4, and then it's just okay. It's already gone wrong for white. With everything, more or less, because here, even I can take him here, and then b6, okay, I decide to play here. Here also I have this very nice move, and I even saw this, but okay, it's also very nice, nice c3. Sorry. Take, bishop takes, and now a very important move, c takes d4, and I think still black is probably winning. So here, he just took queen f3, it's bad, but okay, if he takes with the pawn, he's just 95, attacking the bishop and the pawn c3, and this looks hopeless. So queen f3 takes, c4 is just desperate, but probably after h5, okay, if I take on c3, maybe he takes on g6 and some counter play, but here a very simple move is queen d5, attacking everything. And everything is under control. So you need to take, and then I attack the bishop, and attack the pawn on c3, and after c4, knight c3, black is just completely winning because the pawn e5 is hanging, and the bishop on b5 also. So basically here again very nice. So actually after queen a4, it went pretty, a big mistake for white. Coming into round one, winning in 18 moves with the black pieces, and in this style in preparation, relax start. Of course, of course, no, it's always good to win, and when you don't spend a lot of energy, it's even better. And you are here for the seventh time back in Gibraltar. What is it that keeps you coming back? What is it that you enjoy about Gibraltar? I enjoy very much the tournament, the conditions are very nice, and the how atmosphere is good, and I mean the people are nice, so it's always good to pleasure to be here. You actually mentioned to me that nowadays it feels like it's because of Antonetta that you're... Of course, of course, I'm because of her, of course, but I enjoy really the tournament. So I always when I had the opportunity to play, I wanted to play very good tournament, strong and very nice to be here.  What is the approach to your game then? Okay, I tried different things in the years. I remember one year, like two, three years ago, I lost the first round, so I played very sharp line, and I was completely outplayed, so this time I decided just to play my normal opening, and if he is very well-prepared, he will make a draw, but obviously it's not so easy to be so well-prepared. So the idea was to test his preparation. Yeah, I just wanted to play the normal lines, and we'll see what we'll get. Well, it worked out well for you. Yeah, this time, yes. All the best for tomorrow, and we hope to have you back in our studio. Okay, thanks. Thank you, Yvonne.


It is about 600 BC, and God directs the prophet Lehi to enlist another family to join them in the wilderness outside of Jerusalem. Conflict arises between Lehi's sons as they experience a difficult journey. Based on actual events as recorded in the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. Siriah, the Lord has spoken unto me. It is not me to take my family into the wilderness alone, but that my sons should take daughters to wife, that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise. I will gather our sons, and as a family we can thank the Lord for answering my prayers as well. And we shall thank daughters to wife, that we might raise up children unto the Lord in the land of promise. Yes, but a wife, and a family. Ishmael! Oh, did not expect I'd ever see you again. Where are Lehi and Siriah? Ishmael, our Father sends us with the message. We must speak with you. Of course. Come, sit. We doubted our Father's decision for a time, but in our journey to get the plates, we saw an angel. As bright as the sun and in the day, in the cave where we stood. Our Father was shown that Jerusalem will be destroyed, that many shall perish by the sword, and many more carried away captive into Babylon. The Lord desires that the house of Ishmael join with the house of Lehi in the wilderness. The journey to a land of promise that he has prepared for us. The Lord wishes that I and my family go with Lehi and his family into the wilderness. Yes. We know that Lehi is a faithful man. Do we not also believe what he has taught in the words of all the prophets? Father Ishmael, our two families are a branch of the house of Israel. The Lord desires that our families unite, that we might inherit the land of promise. Come with us. Let us ask the Lord. This is hopeless. We should return home. Things of sun and sand and more. Son? At my own home, I could at least rest in the shade. You say the Lord desires this union of our families? Yes. Yes, he does. For what purpose? Why have we forsaken so much for so little? We have done it because our parents are fools. Why should we not go back? Let Neva and Sam wander the wilderness with mother and father. Lumbiwold, if you return to Jerusalem, you will perish with everyone there. Better to perish in Jerusalem than perishing here. Laman, Limeel.  We too are fools for following him. Please! You are my elder brethren. And how is it that you are so hard in your hearts and so blind in your minds that you have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you? It's an example for you. It would be wise to see such talk, little brother. How is it that you have not hearkened unto the word of the Lord? How is it that you have forgotten that you have seen an angel of the Lord? How is it that you have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to His will for the children of men if it so be that we exercise faith in Him? If we are faithful to Him, we shall obtain the land of promise. And ye shall know that the word of the Lord shall be fulfilled concerning the destruction of Jerusalem. The spirit of the Lord ceaseth soon to strive with them. They have rejected the prophets, and Jeremiah they have cast into prison, and they have sought to take away the life of my father. Your father, I will not be lectured by a boy! If you will return to Jerusalem, ye shall also perish with them. And now if ye have choice, go up to the land and remember the words which I speak unto you. If ye go, ye shall also perish, for thus the spirit of the Lord constraineth me that I should speak. Hold him! Hold him! Let me from the hands of my brethren be strained that I may burst these bands with which I am bound. Please listen to me. Find him again! But I exhort you to pray to the Lord, your God, for forgiveness. We will.


My speaking in English, so I'll try to be as slow as possible. No matter what you do in your life, you probably help people. And also, you probably solve some problems. For example, if you ever prepared a meal, lunch or dinner for your friends or family, you did exactly that. You help people not to be hungry and you solve the problem of their hunger. There is a million other examples to realize that you help people and you solve problems. Well, customer happiness is all about helping people solve their problems, which is great. That's a great feeling to help people. However, it can produce a lot of stress that you have to deal with. My name is Marco Nikolić. I'm a happiness rocketeer at WP Media, a company behind products WP Rocket and Imagify. And today I want to present you three rules I follow in order to Reduce my stress level while providing customer support for Our clients on live chat channel. Rule number one. Rule number one. Have a lot of fun. No matter how much you like what you do, if you don't Have fun, you can get bored easily. Or even worse, you can burn out. And you will not be able to do what you do with passion. So it is very important to find even the smallest pieces where You can have fun whenever you can. I do that on live chat quite often as much as possible. So I will show you a few examples. When customer arrive and start the chat in language I do not Speak, that can be problematic. Because if we start translating our messages, it can be For s***ing and we can go in misunderstanding. So what I do is to answer in different language, me as Spagnol, it's no bueno, but they realize that. So they answer in English. I just add a little more salt and pepper and answer to German to make it fun. The rest of conversation were great because we did it in English and it was very calm and nice. You know the feeling when your fingers are just a little Dispositioned from your keyboard. So you start typing something, but it is not the word you Wanted. It's something completely different. Well, that happens a lot of time. That happens to me quite often. It's important to show that you understand people when They do it, when they do that. So i did it here to show that i understand and it happens.  I like this feeling when people arrive on chat and they Say, okay, sell me your product. I do not provide customer support anymore. I imagine myself dressing nice suit and selling the product Going from door to door and telling nice things about the product. When you arrive to chat, you're not sure who you speak with. So what do you do?  Every single robot will say, hey, i'm human. How can i help you? What do you do? I try to find confirmation. So since i work from home, i say darling, i ask my wife, Am i a human or am i a robot? So i wait for 20 seconds and then i say, okay, If she confirms i'm human, how can i help you? That's very nice and we have very nice conversation no matter How much they are frustrated because of problems or anything. We have nice communication. Okay. There is no better feeling when you don't need to start to Have fun. But what do you do? When customers arrive and they want to make fun. For example, this guy was orthopedic surgeon. So in the middle of chat, he said, okay, marco, I got to cut some fingers. So i asked him, okay, what's your job? He said, i'm orthopedic surgeon. And it was funny. He wanted to make fun of his job. I'm sure it's not fun. Rule number one, be kind and stay polite. There are different kind of people on the internet and In real life. But what is important is that to stay kind and be Polite because you are professional and you need to do Your job as best as possible. You cannot allow yourself to explode. Troll number one, ignore. Hi, how can i help you? Negative rating. Let's go further. I want discount. So no hello, no hi, how are you? Just i want discount in big letters. That means they are shouting. Okay, i can give you discount but not immediately. I need to tell me a good joke. If you tell me a good joke, i'll find something for you. If not, sorry. People do not read. They don't read. If you send them a little longer sentence than usual, They will read few words and that's all. So i send a link where to open a ticket. They didn't read it. They asked me again where to create a ticket. And i had to send it again. Rule number three, act responsibly. Whenever you are behind the screen, People think that they can do everything. Whatever they want because no one sees them. In real life, you can hurt people by your acting. You can do it on the internet as well.  You can hurt people. It may be even more than in real life. There is no need to use these words. I didn't hide this. I wanted to show it. There are millions of other bad words people use. This is not going to solve your problem at all. It's okay not to be happy with the product, Not to be happy with customer support we provide. But we can solve it in different ways. People use different tactics to get what they want. Even they don't respect real people with real disabilities Who need real assistance. My team and me, we investigated this a little further. This is a guy who pretends to be like less, To have accessibility issues and wanting the product for free. We investigated and we realized he is not really like that. He has a very good business and we could not provide that. Troll number two, so this is the same point. And at the end, no matter what you do in your life, Make sure to have a lot of fun, to be kind and to act responsibly. Thank you very much.


Alright peeps, another 12 by 12 for another customer. Donna this is going out to you, hope you like it. We got black, we got some purple. Just like that, we got some fuchsia. Just like that, baby. And we got some teal. Just like that, let's do a little bit more black. Some squirts up in there, you know what I mean? I love them squirts. Ooh, it's gonna look so good. Here it is guys, look at that. It's gonna look so clean, let's get it. Here we go. Ready, ready? Hold on, hold on, let's get the little piece up here. Hold on. Ooh babe, here we go. Ooh, look at that. Then we can fix this here. Look at that. Yes sir, ooh that's so good bro.


The COP 27 summit in Sharm el-Shaykh has thrown up many questions about the future of humanity. But if there is one country that is using the summit, for very short-term gains, it is Egypt, the host. The government of Abdul Fateh el-Sisi has sought to portray itself as a responsible global player. However, the truth is very different. Egypt is among the most oppressive regimes in the region and, as a proxy of the US, has also re-tavak from Libya to Palestine. What role does Egypt play in West Asia and North Africa? How do its positions affect the lives of millions outside its borders? What enables the LCC government to maintain such a tight control over its people? Rania Khalek of Breakthrough News explains. So Egypt under Sisi is certainly a worse dictatorship than under Mubarak. And we know there's an insane amount of repression, political prisoners, and we can get into that. But then the question becomes, why is this okay when you constantly hear this sort of moralizing from the United States and other Western powers about police states and repression in countries like Syria or Iran or basically these sort of officially designated enemies? Why does Egypt get away from it? And why does it have the support of countries like America, France, and of course the GCC states, which aren't exactly free countries either, and Israel? And of course, the broader context of that is Israel is indeed, I'm sorry, Egypt, excuse me, is indeed a client state that receives billions of dollars a year. For its military and security apparatus from the United States, it's quite unconditional. And that is to control a massive country with a huge population that is strategically located by the Suez Canal, which of course provides access to East Asia and the African coastline and the Suez Canal historically has been an important tradeway for European colonialism. And today, of course, it continues to be important to neocolonialism, to moving stuff from one part of the world to another, to basically imperialism and capitalism. And there's also the fact that it's proximity to Israel and other countries with oil. I mean, the more countries that you have under your control in the Middle East, the less likely you'll have resistance to your imperial ambitions. There was a time, of course, when Egypt was under the leadership of an independent, an independent leader, Nasser, who was an Arab nationalist and instituted some socialist policies and promoted this idea of Arab independence from imperialism across the region. And of course, this is a very scary challenge to anybody who wants to control access to resources. And also there was a fear, of course, of being able to push back against a country like Israel, which at borders. And so as a result, you actually had the US, the CIA, the British funding and helping organized Islamic extremism against this secular Arab nationalism. And it was ultimately successful. And Egypt ultimately did normalize relations with Israel, which is still one of the major countries in the Middle East to have normalized with the Israelis, and also has ever since then just been an increasingly a client state of the United States. And of course, that makes controlling the region much easier. And Egypt does play a role. It's also important to keep in mind that Egypt participates willingly in the blockade on Gaza. Gaza is surrounded, of course, by an Israeli air land and sea blockade, but Gaza also borders Egypt. And so Egypt, you know, there's a land border and that blockade is carried out by the Egyptians in coordination and collaboration with the Israelis, with the Americans, and has been ongoing for years and years and years. So it's also important to remember that that is what allows Egypt to behave however it likes. It just it participates in this sort of Israeli settler, a colonialist state. And it was one of the first, if not the first, state that normalized relations with Israel in the region. And it maintains a security relationship with Israel, Israelis vacation in Egypt. And, and Egypt, I mean, every once in a while, that was one of the fears when Egypt had its very brief experiment with democracy after 2011, was that with the Muslim Brotherhood leader, of course, Hamas is like a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, that you might see a situation where the Egyptians relent a little bit on their participation in the blockade of Gaza. That was certainly a fear of all the Israel lobbying organizations in the United States. So there was that was another reason why you didn't see so much of an outcry when the democratically elected leader of Egypt was overthrown in basically a military coup. And of course, Egypt immediately returned to its you know, the role it always played in enforcing this blockade on 2 million Palestinians who live in open air prison in Gaza. Around the region, of course, for its own interests, Egypt is increasingly involved in African countries to, I mean, Egypt is technically a North African country, but involved in a neighboring African countries to push for, you know, access to resources and on its own. And also, of course, Egypt has played a role in funding militias and Libya for its own interests. Egypt is vehemently under under CC is vehemently opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood. So anywhere in the region where they feel there's a threat of the Muslim Brotherhood, they do try to get involved and push against that in any way they can. But yeah, this is the broader context of why Egypt can be this horribly repressive police state with obvious human rights violations. I mean, human rights organizations can't even access Egypt. They haven't been able to access Egypt for years. You can imagine if that was the case for like Syria or Iran, the kinds of hand wringing you would see. But with Egypt, it's totally fine because of course, it's not really about freedom and democracy. It's about who's on the side of Western imperialism and who's against it. And internally, of course, when we talk about Egypt, like I mentioned, it's a deeply repressive police state and way more repressive now than it was even under Mubarak, of course, that had a brief experiment with democracy when it elected a Muslim Brotherhood guy to office after the Arab Spring and after the protests in Zahrir Square back in 2011. And of course, with a very short timeframe that experiment with democracy was almost immediately overturned by Egypt's security apparatus and military apparatus, which really remained in charge of that country. And then you had Sisi come to power and also in that lead up or in taking down the first democratically elected leader of Egypt, you had this horrible massacre where hundreds of people were killed. And of course, nobody's been held accountable for that. So the state is completely captured by security agencies that control everything. It has a huge number of political prisoners, something like 60,000 political prisoners, which account for, I believe, half the jail population in Egypt and many are held in horrible, tortuous conditions. And of course, like denied access to life-saving medications. Their families and lawyers don't always get to access them, neither do rights groups. Some never leave, some have been imprisoned for years. And of course, the purpose of the political prisoners in Egypt is to really extinguish any and all political opposition to the government. And that's why you see this Egyptian, he's still in prison in Egypt, kind of like always going on hunger strikes to get attention because of his horrible treatment and the fact that it seems like he's never going to get out of jail. And he's, of course, also a British citizen. So Egypt isn't, I mean, he's Egyptian British. So you even have countries like the UK and the US, I mean, the US, there are American Egyptian prisoners as well, some of which have been released over the years, but some of which have not. So you even have the, like the actual American and British imperialists unable to protect their own citizens from the Egyptian security apparatus that they actually fund. So it's, you know, as Egypt's in the news during this COP 27, it's important to keep all this in mind. Because, you know, like you mentioned, there's been this sort of PR campaign to try to whitewash all of this. And as a, and it shouldn't be allowed to happen. And it just really highlights the hypocrisy that we constantly see when it comes to countries in the global South. It really is, you can be as horrible, you can imprison as many people as you want, you can be as anti-democratic and authoritarian and repressive as you like, as long as you're on board with American imperialism. And if not, then there's a problem. And then, you know, then we're going to moralize and write reports about you and sanction you.


$53 million contract awarded to company for hazardous debris removal in Maui. Honolulu, the Phase 2 property debris removal in Kula, Maui, Hawaii. Contractors spraying down debris and wrapping debris in the dumpster. An environmental company has been selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help with hazardous debris removal in parts of Maui impacted by the wildfires. Dawson Solutions will help with debris removal in the burn zones within Lahaina, Kula, and Kihei. The contract for this project is nearly $53 million. The cleanup process includes two phases. The first, underway now, is the removal of hazardous materials by the EPA. The next phase involves the removal of other fire-related debris by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. One specific area of debris removal that Maui County needs the public's help with is identifying thousands of abandoned, burned-out vehicles.


We're back. We're live. It's Monday, 1 p.m. It's one o'clock rock here at the research in Manoa And our special guest is Ali El-Kadi President of hydrology. That's water science department of geology and geophysics school of ocean earth science and technology That's so west and he is also the associate director of the water resources research center Which is actually located in Holmes Hall the engineering building at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Welcome to the show Ali. Thanks Jade. Glad to be here. Nice to have you And we're talking today about Hawaii's water resources hyphen drying up question mark Are they drying up? That's one way to think about it I think so far we are okay, but if the climate continues to change the way it is expected And we are not careful about saving and conserving water. We might be in big trouble So Hawaii is a special environment special ecology for so many things And I guess that means it's also special for water. This would be different than other places, right? First we are an island or a group of islands and we have limited resources So basically what you have is what you get or vice versa what you get is what you have And basically we cannot import water from outside obviously We have a special kind of geology and the special type of features that's very different from the mainland continental systems Having a small watersheds is an issue here That means that the mountains may be tall but they're limited in size That's exactly the case and very steep That means you can have serious floods sometimes very small warming time You have less infiltration because of that because the water runs quickly and escape to the ocean We have aquifers which is a geologic formation where water is stored It's very porous and very high conductance That means any changes can affect the storage of water Basically we have to be aware of the conditions which include also variability of information Basically it's very complicated, it's very hard to study that differentiated from other areas as well You said we have to save water but it's not just that we have to save water today We always have to save water, we have to use less water, isn't that what you're saying? We have to, I can maybe surprise you Jay by giving you some numbers Each time you open the faucet, each wind minute costs you between wind and the 5 gallons of water So if someone is taking a long shower, how many minutes? 30 minutes? That's 150 gallons, if you use one of this large head showers or shower heads In the average we use in this country about between 60 and 80 gallons a day Per person But people in poor water countries, they can survive on 5 gallons a day Because they have to Unfortunately we don't have to If you open the faucet there is water and there is no reason to panic And it's cheap, you would tell me before the show that a gallon of water in Hawaii costs one-tenth of one cent That's not expensive No, no And water actually is free but you pay for the actual cost to get it from the ground and send it to your house How's the quality in Hawaii? We've had issues at Red Hill and all that But in general, how's the quality? Quality is good Usually people stop me to ask me when they know I'm a hydrologist I say I drink the faucet water Do you? Yeah And actually might be surprised to some that some of the bottled water are not of good quality Is that right? You heard it here on Think Tech We're not saying which bottled water, but some of it isn't as good as the faucet Yeah, you know why? Because there is no federal regulations for bottled water So if you make it in California, you have to satisfy California regulations But you can sell it in Hawaii without any regulations Just right out of the tap or worse So what about fluoride and that kind of additives? Do we have anything like that going on in Hawaii? I believe we do have that I think as I was asking about the waiver, but I don't know really what happens So there's undoubtedly a dynamic here And I'd like to get a handle from you on exactly what affects the availability and possibly the quality of water So rainfall would affect it and if climate change is changing rainfall, then climate change is going to affect it And of course we talked briefly before the show about damage to the lenses in the aquifers Could you talk about what kinds of things are threatening our water supply? Actually, if we could see the first figure That's the one So here is the cross section of the island of Oahu that give you some idea about the geology of the area So you can see the ocean on one side, you see the leeward side there And the windward side, the yellow part to your right is the cup rock that I was talking about Cup rock is basically marine sediment and some sedimentary sediment That have lower, what we call lower conductivity Conductivity is the expression of ability of the water to move High conductivity means water more fast, low conductivity means it will move slower So cup rock, if you want to research this is spelled C-A-P-R-O-C-K cup rock I think it has E after the P So basically when I mentioned that before the show, anytime you break the cup rock is bad Because it's calving the good water So when you break it the good water will escape That's number one Number two, the cup rock is useful because bad chemicals will not go down So it is protecting the good water below that So if you break the cup rock then bad things could go into the fresh water Most likely not because the pressure, what we call pressure, that's not exactly the word Is higher in the basalt, so water will move up So you just lose it You lose the water, it goes into the seawater It's easier and so water will go in So that would have a detrimental effect on the lens and therefore on the aquifer in general That's one of the factors But if you look at the picture here, you see the freshwater lens It looks like a lens like that Can you see it? Fresh water is blue Above the red, the red in the bottom Above the red is salt water Can you see that? And the lens is between the freshwater and the salt water No, the freshwater is a lens But there is a mixing zone between the two Can you see it? Yes The mixing zone is brackish water Yes, brackish, is that the lens? No, the lens is blue It is more like eyeglasses lens That's why I call it that lens So the freshwater lens floats on the top of the salt water Because of density So light over heavier water Mixing is because salt water will mix with water So that causes it to mix And if you use too much water, the lens will shrink The blue will shrink And the red will creep in And the mixing or brackish will increase So in the old days we have much thicker lens But because we use too much, then we are losing the lens Can you replace it? It has to rain But also if you use artificial recharge Like in the future, hopefully It will be safe to recharge with recycled water So that will be useful Let's talk about recycled water What is that? It's recycled water Actually in Hawaii here We generate lots of wastewater as you can expect The island of Oahu Generates about 100 million gallons of wastewater If I remember correctly What we do is get rid of it In three different ways One, throw it deep in the ocean Using what we call outfalls It's like two miles out And the other way is to deep inject it in wells Remember the brackish or salt water Below the fresh And hope it will not do some damage The third method is That's not desirable then Because it could do some damage It could come up into the fresh water It has, yes And the third method is septic system It is like syspoils or septic tanks Syspoils are very bad Because they are just a whole underground And it reaches everywhere Actually when it is close to the ocean It's really bad Because it has to have enough space To do some treatment Natural treatment But when it is near the ocean There is not enough space So what's your recommended solution? The recommended solution We will call it rather than wastewater We will call it water wasted So they are trying to treat it And there are still some issues there The cost is an issue The transportation is an issue Because the waste treatment facility Is far from where you need it But they use it for limited use Golf courses Golf courses And you could use it for agriculture When you don't have leaves When the plants don't have leaves So you can use it for all these And they do some study to make sure It doesn't go down to the lands So how do you process it In order to make it drinkable? It's different states And this is outside my area But basically it removes chemicals Like nutrients Like phosphorus and nitrogen It's a bad for people Because you move salinity But first you kill the bacteria And viruses, that's the first system And there is different degrees There is R1 water, R2 water And R3 water R3 is like fresh water Like faucet water But it's very expensive Because it has to go to many processes Yeah, much more expensive than One-tenth a cent per gallon And of course if you can't do this And you're short of water Then your option, major option Would be desalination Which is way more expensive Than processed water I guess it's, I don't know the relative cost But both of them are certainly much more expensive But San Diego put in a big desalination plant And it cost billions Yes, I believe Orange County I have that And California in general And the people of California Had droughts in the 80s, 90s And they learned the lessons So they were careful Unfortunately humans forget very quickly So once the drought is gone Go back to normal Hopefully we won't Yeah, we should That's Ali El-Kadi Professor of Hydrology, Department of Geology And Geophysics in Southwest And also Associate Director Of the Water Resources Research Center We'll take a short break Come back and see a bunch more of these slides So you can understand what is happening in Oahu And elsewhere around the state We'll be right back Oh-ha! This is Rez McChackle University of Hawaii football team Under Rolovic is going to kick butt this season In case you didn't understand me University of Hawaii football team Is going to kick butt under Rolovic this season So be sure to follow us on Hawaii and Iwachi Top I'll be at every game And remember, aloha! Aloha, my name is Justine Esperitu And I am the co-host of Hawaii Farmers Series This is my co-host, Matthew Johnson And we are live with you Every Thursday at 4pm At thinktechhawaii.com And our show focuses on Hawaii's local food community We feature not only the farmers Who have been producing our food But we also feature the supporters And other folks involved in the community That are trying to promote local agriculture Okay, we're back, we're live We're here with Ali El-Kadi President of Hydrology Excuse me, professor of president Professor of Hydrology And associate director of the Water Resources Research Center At UH Manoa So we have some slides Let's take a whiz through these slides And talk more about water in Hawaii Okay, what we see now is A chart for water expected Increase in water used in Hawaii Especially, wow And that chart is made by the Border Photo Supply Which deliver water to your house And they can't see the trend If we are for, you know Lucky enough we should use Or expect to use or increase About 1 million gallons a day Per year, okay That's what the blue line is The yellow line is not good So hopefully we are conserving As you can see is a blue shade That is leveling off there, right Starting maybe in 1991 It's just kind of leveling off So hopefully we are conserving, you know So when you do planning You should use this in mind Yes, but part of that as we discussed Could be a computer algorithm To determine the price If we want to change customer Behavior, consumer behavior Then we raise the water The cost per gallon or lower it As the supplies exist Wouldn't that be a way of Saving water? Right, this is nature of humans Things are expensive, they are Positive, but I think As I have some kind of structure But I don't think it is still Enough to make sure that People really conserve There's plenty of room Because it's so cheap now So if we made it expensive People would take note And they would use less Okay, how about the next slide? The next slide talks about On-site disposal systems Which is like septic systems And that includes sys walls And septic systems And it can be Surprised to know that There are about 2,000 units in Hawaii And they release Average or about 70 million gallons A day of minimally treated West water is not really R3 It just has partial treatment And it can reach the ocean And it can increase Nitrogen in the ground Which is bad Like if you have borderline Water quality, then you still Have leaching that can make it bad We should have done something About this a long time ago You have a picture of the big island Of course, because there are a lot of septic systems On the big island But this one is about Hawaii Hawaii, sorry You see in that picture here Shows the density of systems Septic systems The red is large About 500 units Very square miles This is huge, right? And can you tell Is it located J? Sure, they're on the water Is that good? No, they're going to get right into The water sources and the ocean Right, and what happens The sea level rises Comes right back up on you So that would be realistic It affects your drinking water And it will wash it Even make it worse So the solution is Except to soar Why don't we spend the money And make regular plumbing? It would be expensive Because you have to have long lines And you cannot have Really economic way to do that But now they have System where you can do local systems So just for the community So hopefully that will be That's how it would work In that map Between the dark areas One dark area and another There's long pipelines But if you didn't have to make those long pipelines If you only did it in the Concentration of the dark area It would be a lot less expensive And now it has Just to be more economically visible That's the criteria Here's another one now This is studied By the USGS United States Geological Survey Here in Hawaii There is a decline in stream Discharge The water runs in the stream As you can see the red line Means decline over the years That's called the base flow Meaning water coming from the aquifer Why is it declining? That's a sign of climate change Not enough rainfall So there is not enough rainfall It goes into the ground As it used to Less water goes to the streams Ali, I had the impression That when the plantations were operating And they built all those Ditches Run water for agricultural purposes They were careful And they maintained the ditches And the ditches were a positive effect on water But now there are no plantations The ditches are not being maintained Does this have any effect On drinking water supplies? Actually We call it return of flow Water return Or return water That goes down What happens is One third of irrigation Water goes down back to the aquifer So when you have urbanization Removes the plantations That means there is no water that goes down Like other plants That used to be agriculture So now there is no fresh water that goes down So agriculture has some advantages Because you have to irrigate anyway So you could be using too much water But if you use an economic way Or more like Recent or advanced irrigation system You could minimize losses And use less water The loss is not great So it's better not to lose the water Right, so you can compromise You don't have to urbanize And at the same time Use less water for irrigation Well that seems to be a point here That as the state urbanizes We need to spend money on systems That will Upgrade our water system We have to do that If we leave our water system Back in a time when everything was country Then we're going to lose We're going to lose So we need to spend a little money To keep the water system Up with the urbanization Right, there is some New technology To try to still benefit And not waste water And minimize the runoff Remember the runoff is a bad thing It goes to the ocean So if you have asphalt and buildings That's all goes to the ocean So what they do is like Use roof gardens They use like Driveways which has Grass Half grass, half blocks Recirculate water So you can try to Lesson the damage So you can do that If your architect and engineer help you Right, there is actually Some unit in New University of Hawaii They have units that study that They try to optimize the process So you don't lose Or destroy nature We're going to get more sensitive to this As the price of water goes up When we go to the next one What is this Flooding in the north shore That was I believe 2008 I remember we had A workshop there Teaching about Environment Then we were there That was the next day Or a few days after that Flooding So people were terrified and Changed the subject of the workshop So as you can imagine This is horrible And you can see With Clean change you could have more of that More flooding and also see The chocolate color, right That's not a good color No, no, this is sediment That washes off So you are losing the good soil To the ocean And damaging the ocean as well Now are there antigens in that water Antigens, bacteria, virus Yes, certainly Especially septic stem What about next This is Hanalei I think this should be shown After the other one Like before and after Can you go back to the previous one No, there is This one, yes This is before And now This is after What a wreck So you can see Flooding is very serious And in some cases The frequency will increase because of climate change So you have extreme cases You have more flooding You have more drought That's climate change That's harder work to keep everything Balanced that way That's true This is another flooding problem And this time in Manoa This is Hamilton Library This is Hamilton Library And to the bottom left You see the Basement And That was unfortunate because they had All the valuables In the basement And the Hamilton Library is in the lowest Point on campus And the basement is the lowest point In the building And they put the more valuable historic documents On computers You lose any of your research papers Not my personal Fortunately I have things stored on computers And actually There was also a picture of damage Had been to Manoa buildings Like you see the cars But Manoa Residential area I think 100 million dollars in one night That's what's a storm And the university can hardly Afford that kind of damage What we got here? Now science will come to play As I mentioned Climate change Is something that's happening So what to do about it And you have lots of issues You cannot wait until it happens So we do something called Modeling Basically use simulation models To protect what happens in the future So it will be easy To do relatively speaking Then wait until it happens And think about it Like for example I want to know what happens Of rainfall decrease Then I can do simulations You know make believe And see how it looks In principle it should be straightforward But there is lots of difficulties I will talk about in a second So what happens here We create something called the conceptual model Which is our understanding of reality Say I want to see What happens to the island of Oahu I need to study all the natural processes That I can simulate So that's very subjective Because especially underground We cannot really understand What's happening down there And basically I Collect all the information And build my conceptual model As I call it conceptual model Because it is mine Because it is my understanding of the system And we need to collect enough That to validate that So if you look here at the picture The left side is geology And this is just a Surfacial geology Means what we've seen from the surface So below that is not exactly the same But let's give you some idea About different material Like basalt, sediment, whatever So all of that is Well known At least in that In what we understand For it, right? But you need deeper formulations That you use deeper Techniques to look under these But let us assume that we know that So the arrow shows to the right Show that we converted to areas And each area Is comprised of one material Or whatever So you converted the geology To different areas And assign different materials to that So if you have basalt, assign high conductivity If you have sediment, assign low conductivity Okay? If you have what we call dykes Then it would be combined of Low conductivity Are dykes in our future? Dykes They are already They are in our past We had them way back when too It is the way lava Cold off They have no Virtually no conductivity And they extend like this Isolating lava So looking forward We only have a few seconds left What are we going to have to do To preserve our water supply At a reasonable price going forward And how soon do we have to do it? I think we started as I think I mentioned to you Maybe in my email I got a new grant Large grant, $20 million From the National Science Foundation It's called EBSCORE And that one stands for I guess It's called Experimental Program To stimulate Competitive research And well doing lots of work about water Especially about water So that basically will try to resolve the missing issues Like I mentioned We don't understand the processes Collect data and do modeling And your sophisticated techniques Non-introsive techniques to look into underground Hopefully that's the way to go Study, study, study Collect data and refine Your understanding and the way to predict Then Once you know how to Manage your resources You will learn how to conserve water And create new resources And hopefully will not be at loss And maybe do some earth moving Okay Our future is going to require some attention So happy that you're working on this Because water is one of the great resources Of the world and it's going to be More important going forward Including for Hawaii I'm glad too My area is very beneficial That's Ali El-Kadi President Professor of Hydrology Department of Geology and Geophysics School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology That's Sowest And he is the Assistant Director Of the Water Resources Research Center University of Hawaii Thank you so much
