We have six folks on their feet ready to ask questions. We're approaching the hour of a nice reception, so let's try to take brief comments or questions rather, please. Now, Dr. Rice, I'm the North Korean News Report. It's the Korean Korean News Network. And the Secretary of State's nominee, Mr. Power, told this morning, the United States will review a totally relationship with North Korea. And President-elect Bush mentioned about the possible missile agreement with North Korea in the New York Times interview. So is there any possibility for the new Bush administration to make missile agreements with North Korea? I think that General Paul's point is the best one to make. We're a new administration, and we now have to review a whole range of policy issues before it. I think we have a lot of due diligence to do, and it's important that we take the time to do it. So I would not put this in any different category. I think there are a number of issues that we have to review. Thank you. Kurt Busiener from the U.S. and Assistant Secretary Pete Spaulding's commission. Ms. Rice, recently the President's question to Yugoslavia has been pretty dismissive of the international war crime tribunal at the Hague and Yugoslavia's obligations toward it in dealing with the indicted war criminal, President Slobodan Milosevic, and others. Will this war crimes accountability issue be a fundamental pillar of American policy in the Bush administration toward the ball? Well, of course, the United States is on record as believing that Milosevic should be apprehended and turned over to the Hague. That's clear. And I wouldn't expect any change in that. The question of exactly how to manage this will hopefully move Democratic Serbia. I think we will want to lead to the management of the issue. I don't think that pronouncements now are going to be helpful for that process. We do want to encourage, and I want to say very clearly, that we have a great interest in the emergence of a Democratic regime in Belgrade as a potential partner for stability in the region. And there is a lot to do to clean up the mess that Milosevic left in a variety of ways, including Milosevic himself. But I think that the issue of exactly how to best deal with the Krasnice regime about this, I think we need to lead to self-discretion. Barbara Slavin of USA Today. I wanted to press you a little bit more on Iraq. Hugh and Colin Powell have both talked about re-energizing sanctions. But as you speak today, the Iraqis are sending oil into Syria, which I believe is allowing the Syrians to export more of their own oil for hard currency. They're signing new trade agreements with Jordan, which vastly increased the amount of oil that's going to Jordan and Jordanian goods going back. They are busting out its sanctions all over. How do you propose to put your finger back in all of these sites and somehow put this regime back together when it is clearly eroding? Barbara, I think that it's obviously very clear that we have a big job in trying to re-energize the sanctions. There's no doubt that it has eroded considerably over the last several years. The President-elect spoke to this in his interview, saying I think that they've become something that was cheese, I think he called it. But this is what diplomacy is about, and I think that you're just going to have to convince the important powers here, and I mean not just the term five, but the important powers in the region that we need to rededicate ourselves to making certain that Saddam Hussein does not turn himself into a terrorist through his weapons of mass destruction or that he does not threaten his neighbors. He signed on to certain obligations under UN revolutions in 1991, and he needs to be held to them. So this is a major diplomatic effort I'd be to first admit, but I think that we're going to have to take it on if no one wants to see Saddam Hussein escape his spot. Jonathan Landay with Knight Ritter Newspapers. During the campaign, Governor Bush pledged to increase military spending by $45 billion over a decade. That money did not include additional funds for national missile defense. He's made national missile defense deployment a prime objective. How do you intend to increase spending for national missile defense if so by how much and how are you going to do it given the $50 to $100 billion mismatch per year in the Pentagon spending plan? Well, first we're going to get in office and take a look at where we are. I've said several times on the campaign trail. You do not have the resources on the campaign trail to do a careful and thoughtful analysis of what your defense spending plans ought to be. He's simply done it. And what the president-elect has pledged in the campaign and has pledged again is that he intends a thorough review of the requirements of the military modernization. He's concerned about the troops and issues for the troops and that he intends to have a strategic plan from which to proceed to make important spending decisions and important allocation decisions between the many competing priorities in the defense budget. And I think until he's had an opportunity to do that, it's going to be rather difficult to talk about what we're going to spend precisely here and precisely there. So he is committed to doing that review. I was tempted to say welcome to Washington but the last two questions. Hello, Dr. Rice, Emily Woodworth from Defense News. Just wanted to ask for your quick comments on remarks by Ari Fletcher at press briefing earlier this week about the move to bring the senior international economics advisor to directly report to you as a means of enhancing the relationship between international trade and national security. Yes. Yes, again, the President-elect spoke to this as well. The kind of lexuna in American foreign policy particularly as it's developed over the last several years is how to better integrate economic issues with other foreign policy issues. And I think that it's, every commission report that I've read about our national security decision-making focuses this as one of the problems. And I think you can read just about any of the independent bodies that have been out there and people focus on this issue. It is not easy. There's not a tradition of very good integration here. But frankly, the economic issues have become so much more important to our foreign policy as a whole that the challenge really has to be taken on. Now what we will do, and I want to just caution here, that we're still trying to figure out exactly how to work out the details. There will be a Deputy Assistant to the President for International Economic Affairs. That person will report jointly to Larry Lindsay, the Assistant for National Economic Affairs, and to me. And we're going to try to have a kind of seamless single staff that will be responsible for the whole range of issues from those that are more traditional foreign policy with an economic content to those that have probably been traditionally thought of as economic but clearly have a strategic overlay. And so I'm certain that there are some international economic issues that don't follow either of these categories. But Larry and I are committed to making this work. This is a joint idea. It's a joint proposal that we made to the President-elect who himself had identified the problem. And one of the reasons I think he was aware of the problem is that he's dealt a lot with Mexico, and so he could see all the various pieces that have to be put together. So I think that we will try to make this work. I'm quite confident that we can because we have a lot of commitment to making it work. But it could be one of the more important innovations that we try to make. Thanks, Mike. Valerie LeVanne, Voice of America. You emphasize the importance of forming good relationships with our allies and also with other great powers. And I was wondering how you would reconcile the importance of this with plans for a national missile defense system given the criticism and the opposition that this has gone at an international level? Strong relationships don't mean that you'll always agree. And it's important to make that distinction. But it does mean that particularly with allies and friends you will always be committed to talk and consult and try to understand each other better and where possible to move toward agreement. And on national missile defense, the president-elect is committed to doing what he believes he needs to do as commander-in-chief. He has set as one of the criteria for any national missile defense that it has to protect not just us but our allies. He does not want to be coupling. This will take diplomacy. I think that it also probably takes understanding the entire complex of nuclear issues. There's national missile defense with proliferation concerns and of course what we will do with offensive forces is to defend. And so we're in a different world than we were when the American nuclear arsenal faced off against the Soviet threat of thousands of nuclear warheads. The threats are different. And we'll take some time with our allies and friends and indeed with other interested parties including the Russians to talk about this new world and to figure out how to address it in an intelligent way. As you join in thanking Dr. Rice, let me just again say you've been a terrific audience and we've had a long day and we invite you as you exit to turn slightly to the right and enjoy some receptions, refreshments, and we'll have a little bit of a ceremony about the five minutes from now. Thank you.


My name is Benjamin Feth and I'm a senior lecturer at the Graduate School of Management. I teach a course on evidence-based decision making and it's a very exciting time to be teaching a course like that because information is becoming more and more commoditized but at the same time meaning becomes a lot harder to find within that information. So the course addresses that challenge and offers managers an opportunity to look at the number of ways in which data can be collected, how it can be assembled and how it can be analyzed to undress uncertain environments. Working with MBA students makes sure that the research that I do remains relevant to the New Zealand context but at the same time I can basically challenge my ideas with some of the brightest minds in the country. So that's a tremendous opportunity. So I've lived and worked in Germany. Innovation basically meant always something that had to be extremely cautious. Everybody was afraid to make mistakes. I think New Zealand is an economy that's very forgiving. That makes us quite innovative but in a different way and I enjoy that contrast.

What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseRace.com. We're giving away 10 free spots tonight only, guys, if we sold it out, which we did. We're giving away one NFL kickoff mixture spot, which is well over $1,200, guys, in this 2023 Panini Elite Football One Box Break, Random Teams number two. And again, guys, we have it discounted from like $1,300 to, I believe, $10.50. So, as that's discounted, that means this break is discounted. We're giving away 10 free spots. So that means we only sold 22 spots straight up instead of selling 32. We're gonna give away 10 to the customers that bought in, increase your chances of getting some hits out of the Elite Box, or, like I said, the grand prize of winning that kickoff mixture spot. So there you go, guys. Oh, nice. Yeah, good job, man. I think the Sealers are gonna win this week. But yeah, let's do the break first, guys. This is Elite Football number two. Remember, no bad common shift from the box. Everything else does. And at the end, we'll randomize the 32 names in total and then do the free spot giveaway for the NFL kickoff mixer. So the actual will be for the giveaway plus the box break. Sees my owner to sneeze, but kind of went away. All right, so roll, six and a five, 11 times. Top 10, get free extra spots in this, guys.

Oh, you know what you're right. I think so, right Adam? Yeah, they do that in training camp, right? Like just wear that for rookies? I wanna say actually, I think you're right. All right, well, solid box I think. I mean, Christian Gonzalez turned to this entry. Got that Bryce Young right there. Got the relic. And then he had all these numbered cards including the Pentales autograph as well. There you go. All right, guys. Now let's switch scenes and let's do the giveaway. So again, guys, obviously we're giving away only one NFL Mixer spot, but hey, good luck guys. I'll repost another one of these right now. We can run it back. We'll give away 10 free spots tonight only again. Roll. And it is a five into two, seven times. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Seven, seven, seven.

That won't give us away two spots. So I appreciate you guys, jaspyscasewrakes.com.


In this video I want to talk about linear impact. So linear impact is when we apply a force quickly to a rigid body and we're doing so in a linear sense rather than say rotational. So when we need an example to talk through this probably the easiest one is to say we have a weight and we drop it from some height h and it's going to land on a spring which will represent our rigid body in this case. Once it makes contact with that spring of course then it's going to compress the spring by some amount delta until the whole system comes to arrest at some new compressed position you know where delta is a maximum that it's going to reach. The spring has a spring constant k and we have this the mass has a weight w and so forth. So we can start to analyze the system by looking at the energy of what's happening right. First we can say that there's potential energy change right as this weight moves down it travels through a distance h and also a distance delta till it you know reaches a new at rest position so it has a change in energy of that potential energy and its weight force times distance so weight times h plus delta. So this is that change in potential energy energy that we observe. Now you know we could also consider the kinetic energy which is you know the the speed at which it's traveling however we can kind of bypass that if we say it starts from rest at some height and ends at rest when the spring is compressed so we can kind of bypass that that moving state and just go between the two stationary states. Now the change then is we're storing energy in that spring so we need the the stored energy within the spring which we have an equation for one half k delta squared. So this is the the energy that we store within the spring that that change of potential energy has been transferred into the spring so we can equate those two things. Now there's a couple things I want to define before we move on too far from this I'm just going to do that over here one is I want to define what we'll call an equivalent force and this equivalent force is going to be equal to k delta and basically this is the the equivalent force that we would apply to the spring in a static loading scenario that would depress the spring by the same amount delta as the the falling box would. So taking that that energy of the box or the weight and saying well let's pretend it was static we'll give that what we'll call the equivalent force and then another thing that our relationship that I want to spell out is that we can equate the weight to something we'll call the static deflection. So again taking this this scenario that suppose we took that that box and just set it nicely slowly on the spring it would deform the spring by a certain amount delta which we'll call delta st for delta static which would presumably be less than delta right because the box is not moving with the velocity we're just setting its weight on there. So we kind of have these two scenarios one we're equating the moving weight w with an equivalent force based on how much it it deflects the spring while it's moving at a velocity and then we have this static deflection which is if we just set the box nicely on the spring how much we would expect it to deform as a result and that'll become useful as I work through these these other equations. So if I go back then and take my my energy balance I can substitute in from this second relationship k you know is going to be equal to w over delta st so I can substitute in and get one half delta squared over delta delta st times w as a relationship and if you look at this equation and think about it in terms of delta which is really the the the changing or unknown variable in this case the one we can't just you know we can't just get directly then we see that it's in a quadratic form right there's a delta on the left hand side and a delta squared on the right hand side so without walking through all the math we can solve that quadratic equation and what we get is delta is equal to delta st times one plus the square root of one plus two h over delta st and these are all static quantities so this is a useful equation for us and it gives us the ability to determine you know based on how high the box is and what its static deformation delta st would be you know what we can expect to to deform the spring due to that motion we can also you know based on this equation over here fe equals k delta we can rewrite this in terms of fe so get that equivalent force which basically turns a dynamic problem into a static problem we can rewrite this equation and get w one plus square root one plus two h over delta st and great now we have a relationship between the static and dynamic scenarios and you if you look at this first equation you see delta on the left is dynamic delta st on the right is static and then we have this thing in parentheses and for the force equation we have our static equivalent so fe and uh which represents a dynamic scenario and then we have the weight which is presumably unknown value and what we find then is that we have this quantity which is common between these two equations which is the the quantity in parentheses here and we call this our impact factor so effectively what that means is that it's a magnification a multiple of the static scenario w or delta st which gives us the dynamic scenario delta or force equivalent so it's it's kind of a multiplier which gives us or allows us to account for that scenario now sometimes we may not know the height from which something's falling but we may know a velocity so a good example of this would be like you're swinging a hammer and then you you strike something the the height from which the hammer is falling doesn't really make sense right that's that's not really a thing in that regard but we could know the velocity of the hammer right before it strikes the rigid body so maybe we want to formulate our equations in terms of velocity rather than change in height well again if we go back to basics of of energy so I'm just going to kind of separate my window here if we go back to the basics of energy we can write that v squared equals 2 gh so this is just equating uh mgh and one half mv squared you know potential and kinetic energy and then and then striking out you know the common terms and and solving for v squared if we do that then we can rewrite our equations as this one plus square root one plus v squared over g delta st and same for force equivalent one plus square root one plus v squared over g delta st so this gives us a slightly different formulation all it really changed is the the values that go into our impact factor to be in terms of velocity rather than you know height off of our off of our object so useful in some scenarios there's a couple of simplifications or or special scenarios for this that we might want to consider one is that suppose we have something which we might call a suddenly applied load oops that's not at all anything so a suddenly applied load would be you know if you go back to that that picture on the left of the screen we have this this weight um dropped from a distance suppose we reduced h until it was zero and we basically are just hovering the box right over the spring and then we let it go so there's no change in height there's no initial velocity and and all of those terms drop to zero well then basically what we end up having as you can see from our impact factor equation if v is zero then this term goes to zero we have square root of one which is one one plus one is two so all of that really is just to say that in this special case of a suddenly applied load the impact factor is equal to two so that can give us a sense of of what we might expect to find um for for what this impact factor would typically be so in a suddenly applied load we have an impact factor of two so no initial velocity no initial height we just sort of release the weight onto our thing or or release the object okay scroll down to give me some some white space now we can simplify this equation a little further which allows us to do some more things uh often we would expect h to be much much larger than delta st so if we drop something from a from a fairly significant height our and our spring is sufficiently stiff you know it doesn't have to be a spring it can be literally like a table or something is sufficiently stiff we would expect that deformation to be very small right much much smaller than h and if we have a large number next to a small number you might recognize from some math courses that that usually means we can cancel some things out because they're effectively negligible right so if we do that we can say delta st then is equal to delta or excuse me delta is equal to delta st square root two h over delta st so i've canceled out some terms based on that being small and i'm going to do some mathematical um reorganization here basically if i pulled the delta st out um you know divided by the delta st i have a power of one power of one half in the denominator um and what i end up with is i can move that delta st inside my square root and using my substitution from before i have delta st v squared over g as another formulation of this equation and i can substitute or rewrite v squared as kinetic energy so two i'm putting these squiggly lines around kinetic energy so we don't confuse things in a minute here so two times kinetic energy over spring stiffness k making some additional substitutions so now i have an equation in terms of energy which might be useful and doing the same thing for my equivalent force i can write two h over delta st again doing some rearranging and substitution because delta st is equal to w over k that's an important thing to remember and if i substitute that in i can write this equation as two w h k i could write this as v squared k w over g which then gives me a similar formulation in terms of energy of two k e times spring constant k so now i have a formulation in terms of kinetic energy two times kinetic energy times k it gives me that that force equivalent okay now probably the whole reason for doing any of this is to figure out what my stress impact on my stress is so if i want to know what's going on with stress due to this impact loading i can take my normal stress equation but now i'm using my equivalent force over a unit area a good way to think about this problem is suppose i have a bolt or something pinned and it has a mass around it and that mass is falling and it's going to strike this thing that's holding it up and i have a cross sectional area in here great i can apply and figure out what my stress is using this normal equation and if i do some rearranging based on my calculations that i have up here then i can rewrite this equation as square root two times kinetic energy times young's modulus over a l so cross sectional area times length you'll see why i put these squiggly lines around kinetic energy otherwise it would get confused with young's modulus e and this of course would also be equivalent to two kinetic energy young's modulus a l is just volume so i can look at how that stress is distributed through the volume of of my part great so now i have a formulation for stress based on kinetic energy um you know velocity of my thing one half mv squared would be kinetic energy and young's modulus which is a material property and volume which is just representing my geometry and if i rearrange and solve this equation i get another quantity basically just solving for kinetic energy i get stress squared volume over two times young's modulus and this quantity is called the impact energy capacity and really what it's doing is it's saying if i have a limit for my stress so if i take sigma and i substitute in my materials stress limit i can calculate then how much energy my rigid body can absorb so what is its capacity for absorbing that load energy all right so i'm going to go ahead and stop there


you would come back to us, to this R309th episode of this show, Human Humane Architecture on Think Tech, Hawaii, and you are the accumulated viewer, which you see down there. If you, Michael, thankfully, always put it up somewhere in the 17,000s, and this happens to be our eighth time that we're looking back at Lahaina, already remembering Lahaina as we call it, because you, the solo Brown from your Bishop Museum, where you work as a historian, Hades Soto. Good day, everyone. You know, you have been, again, introducing us to begin with, to the history of Lahaina, and then also you went out there to show its current situation, which is unfortunately all leveled by the fire. And then with you, Martin Anselini, hi, welcome back. Hello. You help us to get the spirits back up again because of some interesting suggestions here, how to rebuild. So we're back to that. And let's start, again, having the shows, all the images running through as we're already doing. So thanks, Michael, for that. And for you, the audience, they're numbered at the top left. So whenever you want to go back and you want to re-watch the show and slides we're referring to, you just look at the number at the very top left. So we'll, which we'll run through towards the end more, but I want to talk about what you will see on slide 42, 43, and 44. And this is getting us back to something, the Soto in our front yard, which is a rainbow drive, and particularly the new canopy that they have been building, that Jim Kisakuma, who's the founder of Rainbow Drive, has been building there. And it's actually, until now, people might say, well, do you have anything to show that's anywhere close to what you guys are suggesting? And I throw this out for discussion. Why is Rainbow Drive pretty close, guys? And the Soto, especially, because it's in your front yard, as it's also my front yard. Then by the way, you said kindly, I look much better. That's why I basically got out of my closet bathroom, which seemed to be the lighting too bad. And now I'm thanks to my school on a new computer, and I'm here in the, which is bedroom, and also kitchen, and also living room, and also studio, all at the same time, which is also going the direction, Martin, you are going, but this is still too hermeticized, and too, I guess, territorialized, that you will break free even more. But the Soto, how about explain to everyone, which you, the audience will then see on 42, a little bit what that new canopy is down there in your hood. Well, Rainbow Drive-In has been in business for a great many years since the 1960s. And obviously, when it was built, it was certainly not forward-looking with any type of modern technology, because we didn't have solar technology at the time that it was built. But it has remained, even while many other Drive-In restaurants have gone out of business, and they're no longer popular, Rainbow Drive-In has retained a great following for its very good food, and what it has built to modernize itself in the 21st century is a canopy that we see in a number of other places now, in which you use the canopy not only to shade people and park cars underneath it, but more importantly, it is covered with solar panels. So those photovoltaic panels are generating electricity, and again, this is something which is more increasingly done now over parking lots that, for example, at the University of Hawaii System, they're doing that. But basically, it, again, is a simple structure that is fulfilling two things. It's providing shade from solar radiation, which we need, but which causes heat, causes deterioration of objects, and also causes us humans to have our flesh deteriorate, unfortunately, over the long term. But not only are you providing shade, as I said, you're providing the generation of electricity as well. So the business that has this or the organization that has this type of fuss structure is actually creating its own electricity, and that's something that we want to do all over the place as much as possible. We are bathed in sunshine. We get very strong sunshine here, 20 degrees north of the equator, and we should be using that sunshine energy to give us energy for the things that we want to do. So bravo to Rainbow Drive-In for being as modern and forward as it is. And let's slide 42 again if we can bring this back. Martin, Martin, did we in the busy school that we're making you do, did we give you any time to have seen it in real yet or yet to come? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Actually, I knew it since before coming here, a taxi driver in Denver told me that I must go to Rainbow Drive. That was the best place to go in Hawaii. Wow, see, Jim, do you hear this? You will because we forward this to you and our great colleague who is actually much better than we can ever be, Kurt Sandburn, who used to be our main architectural critic on the island, and we try to do our best to fill in for him. And he once reached out to me and said, Martin, what's actually the best architecture on the island? And then we agreed on it being that because it is so to the spot, right? And in addition to the sort of what you rightly so said, yes, it has portable takes on the roof, but it has it in the most fundamental way because usually you build up a roof of structure, which you have here, too, but then you build a roof membrane. That one you actually have to destroy and poke through again to attach the sub structure for the photovoltaic panels. Well, here, and this is again bad news for us architects as in training and being trained and accredited and being licensed, because this project didn't need us. It just needed Jim with the idea and he reached out to people who do it and they all did it themselves. And they said because they're not, you know, they're free of the bozards, BS that architects sometimes have, it just said, well, let's collapse all that into one. So actually the panels, the photovoltaic panels are actually the roof membrane as well. And here comes the point, it's not absolutely tight. So sometimes when it rains, there's a little bit dripping through. But slide 49, if we can get this back, De Soto, if you would have your roof open in your main hall in Bishop Museum, 49 slide. I mean, yeah. Then, you know, Don Hibbard taught me that the missionaries were complaining that the indigenous houses actually was also not absolutely watertight. But then the thing is, why would it have to be, right? Because if you have temperate climate and you have temperature differentials and, you know, cold and warm, then you get the dew point, then you get condensation, then you get mold, all these things. We don't have here, as long as our trade winds can breeze through, they will dry out humidity and water immediately. So that's to be considered as well, right? So these people there that you see in 42, if we can get this back, I found it great because COVID, as we know, changed many things. And the good things we had before COVID, sometimes we didn't have them back yet. So he had, if you watch the show, that show quoted up there, we, he had it all. He had it for people, for plans, for electric charging cars, for everything. At the seating, Jim, unfortunately, or he's retired now, but his, you know, people never brought it back. These two people here, locals, father and daughter, just brought the table on their truck and put it up there. And I said, this is awesome. And I took a picture and she caught me and she said, it's only 10 bucks. I owe her great central fumer.  And I said from Germany and her dad got excited because he was stationed in Germany back then. She said, well, now he's losing it. He has, you know, dementia. And it was probably his lifestyle, she said, because he was on the street. He was homeless. And so we started talking and she basically said, well, are you guys with Howard Hughes? And I said, well, we wish so, if Howard Hughes would listen to us but as of now we're more on the other side only because Howard Hughes doesn't want to listen to us. And she also said, well, are you, are you for smart cities? So let's talk about smart cities a little bit because that's a great fear of that's lingering out there and only comes through here and now then. And in conspiracy theories. So let's address that a little bit, the smart city point. Martin, you want to take a stab on that one? Today, the internet of things allow us to manage some systems of the city in a more efficient way. And this is something that we can reinforce concrete, allow those 150 years ago. Now we have technology to build some systems of the city, which is great. We can generate a control water management in a more efficient way. We can control electricity and energy management too. We can predict events such as climatic events and so on. This is great, but very easily, and this is already happening in some countries, it can be almost a big brother effect on which we don't even know who's the big brother. Which is not good, which is not good because when cities are, we were talking about Detroit on the last session, when cities are controlled by just a few corporations, let's call them corporations.  Cities are for people. And this is not something that you can and you should not want to control. So smart cities should help make more efficient some cities, the systems of the cities, but should not pretend to have an overall control of what is happening. Now for the, yep. It could be just to add on that one. I mean, it could again be capitalism, as you said, that drives it, that runs it, that controls it, or it could be political regimes, right? I mean, it could be China. You see people on the streets here where it signs up and says China is a smart city. And that's expressing their fear. And that's the daughter's fear, who by the way, is a musician you see on the pickup truck, a huge instrument that she's playing. And so she said, you know, my dad is in the mid 60s, and I'm in my early 20s, and I'm afraid of all these things. And she is then, you know, although she was suspicious of me, and you know, it's interesting once you say, I'm an architect, you know, then there's some people think that's what you do. And if you look around in Honolulu, unfortunately that is what architects do, right? So we have to face that we got this bad reputation that we are complicit to all these things that don't help the little people, right?  The other thing she said, oh, are you with Oprah? So what could she have meant? DeSoto, you want to maybe give it a guess? Well, this whole thing has been very strange to me. Oprah Winfrey and Duane Johnson are both very wealthy celebrities. And after the Lahaina Fire, they both stepped forward to start fundraising for rebuilding and for the needs of the people who've been affected. And instead of this being openly praised and them getting good feelings out of this, people immediately said, wait a minute, you're not doing enough or you're trying to get money out of us when you've got so much money. And it turned into a real backlash, which I still don't quite understand. However, what we just talked about right before the show got started was, well, these two celebrities with a great deal of money, what could they do in addition to giving their own money and raising money? And one of the things that you said, Martin, was what about if they purchase property, what about if they purchase land, which can then be turned over to the individual people in Lahaina who need places to live or need to rebuild their businesses or something like that and let those people decide what they want to do and how they want to do it. And this is the bigger question about Lahaina's reconstruction, which is what we've been talking about. How does that occur and how does that happen in a way that is both sustainable as well as what people want, the way people want to live, as well as all of the other considerations about private property, public property, the other things about withdrawing from the shoreline as the ocean level rises, all of those huge considerations have to come into play and maybe we don't need celebrities directing it but maybe we need celebrities giving assistance to it and providing their power and their money to further those types of goals. Well, and in fact, in addition to, you know, I think you just came up with something that could be a good compromise because in fact, it's more specific because both Oprah and Dwayne actually own land in Maui. And in Oprah's case, it's sort of high up, you know, on a hill and there's all these conspiracy things with the color blue and her blue roof and things like that. They don't, again, we said this before, they don't seem to go anywhere, let people who should want to investigate in that do that and then, you know, do justice but we have to move on, we said. But again, I appreciate Dwayne. We always did, we see in the top right because when he was still considering running for president of the United States, we were cheerleading him at the soda a lot and then unfortunately he withdrew with understandably that he said, I want to have time for my family and my daughters. But again, we wish he, you know, would reconsider and what I think would make him a great president is that he has the ability which, you know, leaders increasingly less have is to be self-reflective and as, you know, these news here from the local news show that he says, well, you know, I didn't think about it, how it would come across when I mean, well, and I give a lot of money which he has, but then it's still like people like, okay, well, but now you want us to give money and we can't because we try to make ends meet and we can't. So maybe, you know, it has to stay with you and that could be the great here to say, well, you guys who have the money, maybe don't have to give your land thanks to Soto, but land because you have enough money you buy other land and then you give it to us and we go from there buy ourselves for ourselves and that is the proposition that you, Martin, have been coming up here and we continue to talk about rightly so but also Dwayne, we know didn't just wrestle himself out of this, you know, childhood that was, if he could have enjoyed the place more that Takashi Anbi had designed for him when there wouldn't have been that pressure of territorialization because he did not own that with his mother but he rented it and they were evicted because they couldn't pay for it so if that hadn't been we always want to go back to him and hopefully we get the chance to Soto to talk to him and explain that that actually the building wasn't the problem but the money that wasn't there was the problem, right? So he could now revisit the childhood which he does as you see him on YouTube with selfies that he makes selfie videos and he'll say, well, you don't own it with what you can which is the money and then you empower the people to do something and me as, again, previous having wrestled me out of my poverty but now, you know, mostly known as one of the most, you know, accomplished actors and that being said, you know, sometimes we need to dream, you know, and that kind of dream it seems like missing Stanley Chang's newsletter came in and it was reporting that now these little emergencies shelters that are can, you know, be folded out are shipped in from Europe. Wait a minute, I'm going back over Christmas with a bad feeling because I have a large fossil fuel footprint. So sorry, you know, yours, Martin, can be all made from here and from scratch predominantly. Why do we need to ship in something else? Again, as we do San Pellegrino or we do the heavy rail train that comes from Italy but from Hungary where these elements come we have Gabor who was demonstrating in Kailua how to make, you know, a quick housing that doesn't just need to stay temporary but could be permanent out of autoclave aeridic concrete that we know you just saw that are very excited about. So, you know, having dreams having visions about the things we're talking gets us to the next slide and you, Martin, explain us. Yeah, first let me wrap up what the Soto was saying about land and you were talking about land is that if we are able to acquire land this land could be used just for reforesting, for example. So, bringing water which will avoid fires that will even on the forest itself or like beside it and also bring a reculture so we can generate like eatable forests somehow but also can bring more sovereignty to the people of Lehigh during the reconstruction and afterward. Also, maybe, just start thinking about parking plots outside the field environment to avoid cars to enter like public parking plots if needed because probably people will at least tourists will not need cars to bring here from here with a good public transportation system. Martin was talking about Encanto the movie that I was lucky to be advisor of and what happened with Encanto which is a beautiful let's say cinematographic scenario is that everything was happening in a house at the end of the movie the house got destroyed as happens many times in my native Colombia many natural disasters Colombia is the fourth country more vulnerable country in terms of natural disasters after Philippines, India and Mexico and so we are very expert on rebuilding there are some very interesting cases and what is happening in the house is that the building was made by the community there is a beautiful world world that is called Minga and the Minga is a moment on which the whole community gets together to do something for example to cultivate or to harvest or as it happens in the movie to rebuild the house which is kind of as a very like neo-colonial house also evokes an informal settlement as long which is very common also in Colombia and then what is happening here is that every room is a scenario and there is this room of Antonio on which there is this magical tree full of life the tree works as a house and we were already talking about this on which we have the tree we have the ham and the tree will allow us to generate different levels your approach Martin is more about thinking about using this three-dimensional space to be able to live in different levels again bringing back the rainbow drive structure this second ground floor would also be understood as a let's say a space for resiliency as it happens for example in Cambodia in Vietnam that houses have let's say a summer ground floor and a winter ground when it is the rainy season people goes up and this is like life is dynamic so we can think about living in different levels depending on the moment of the day the night when it is grey you can go upstairs and have a barbecue or whatever if it is grey and cloudy you can also go upstairs in the case of an emergency for example a flood you can also go upstairs to just to protect yourself and your object yeah thanks Michael for having thrown this in so you already can the audience can see already what's going on and what I was here intentionally just so that we didn't keep your halloween this is the halloween edition as well we intentionally did not keep your costume because it might have been inappropriate for this time but if you compare last week's show to this week's show you can figure where it's going because you were the bearded guy until recently and now you're not anymore and I was spontaneously making myself into that being the pineapple and Bundit who visited you yesterday made himself into the palm tree with the leaves and this I got from Ethel yesterday so the manager of the breakers hotel where she is working managing it since 1954 and this was grown on planard troughs on the lanais and so you know this is this is not weird this is actually practiced at least there but the the mainstream does not practice that right you need Yusin who is the landscaping guy who has been doing this ever since with his father so he grew up there and they like to because the the trees again the the soto you pointed out to us and it's slide nine if we can get that back is the ulu tree this is all a high now was is gigantic rows of ulu trees and ulu trees are delicious fruit bearing that we have to talk about well you also need to take care of them and when they when they come down you know they can create a mess but that's only in our western mindset of everything needs to be clean and kind of you know sanitary but if if it's actually your food you don't see it as something that's a problem it's actually a blessing when the fruits come down because it means they're ripe and you know i've once at howard wake up there at a party you know someone sliced them thin and and roasted them i never had that delicious chips and that's just you know that's not even the basic food you can make tons of stuff out of that so that is definitely you know that to be added into the scenario that's martin you use the the term growing architecture as well or it is a term that's out there right so um we only have two minutes left but we can start having slide 11 and then if you the audience already want to prepare for next week we will talk about going all the way up to 18 from from 11 and that actually talks about from ground up slide 11 shares some of the fears again of unfortunately the soil being contaminated and being a problem and it first needs to be dealt with and uh but your proposal and this gets us to 12 which seems like almost well this slide is missing is actually not talk about what we actually see and talk about why we don't see much and this is similar to rainbow drive again same thing right one minute left yeah what what we can i mean if we go to the following slide is that these two cases on weathers similar more or less how and to hawaii a little bit more humid but tropical weathers these two fantastic projects on which architects forgot shadow and what is happening here I took those photos myself and you see this the right in the downtown of these huge cities in the rush hour there is no people why because you cannot be there or only if you are an architect taking pictures pictures so we have to again and we can take from there later but to provide open ground floors and covered spaces for for for the public all right with that hold that thought because that's where we pick up from next time again and until then please stay fantastically fundamental fundamentally fantastic see you next week bye


Well, Stevenson is a great place. Academically, we have a great reputation of getting our kids jobs. And I think that's first and foremost the most important part about college. And then our program, we're doing a great job with building something special. We have guys who really love each other. They have fun together on the field and every day we show up and just get better. Athletically, our guys work hard. They get extra swings routinely. Our guys just love baseball. That's what we're looking for in our program is guys who just love the game and want to get better every single day. They get in the weight room. We lift three times a week with our awesome shrink coaches and our awesome weight room. And then on the field, we're constantly getting better. Obviously, with our non-traditional season and our traditional season, but also just work on your own, our guys do a good job with that too. I think Stevenson has a lot of advantages. First of all, our internship programs are great. We're in a great location with Baltimore being close by, DC not too far away, and then obviously Philly. So it's a great place for the job market, for the internship market. And then obviously on the baseball side of things, we can play a lot of really good teams. We can play a top 25 schedule and compete nationally, which our goals are to compete for national championships eventually. I think that the great thing about us is you have an opportunity right now to come in and help us build a program and build something extremely special. We have a rich tradition of making the postseason 10 of the last 15 years. We've had over 20 wins for 10 of the last 15 years and then the excellent academics, but then the opportunity to raise the bar in our program and compete on a national stage and compete for national championships.


Hi, this is Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel of the Chino Valley, California. In the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 1, verse 3, King Solomon asked the question that many people can relate to. He begins with the question that the majority of people have at one time or many times asked. He asks, what prophet has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun? In other words, what is the use of all of this? Why am I working in the first place? He had already said, vanity of vanity says the preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity. As the wisest man who ever lived outside of Jesus himself, Solomon opened his book with a very strong statement. Everything that he had encountered in life could be simply categorized as vanity, as complete futility. His opening thought is simple, a life that is not dedicated to God will always be aimless, empty and totally unsatisfying. This is something that Jesus taught us. In Matthew chapter 16, verse 26, Jesus asked the question, what prophet is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? The simple fact is, I can attempt to find meaning in my physical labors, but if that is what I do, I will always end up unsatisfied. I can work hard to become rich, and because I become rich, I can also become famous, but riches and fame will never fill or satisfy the empty nine ache in my heart. Of course, honest and hard labor in and of itself brings a certain level of satisfaction, but at the end of the day, it still leaves us empty. It is through this that we learn what Solomon later says in Ecclesiastes chapter 6, verse 7, when he says, all the labor of a man is for his mouth, yet the soul is not satisfied. In other words, physical labor alone cannot produce spiritual abundance or completeness. Again, our job in and of itself can never bring spiritual satisfaction, because a life lived without God is a life lived without meaning. It simply leaves us empty. This is something that Solomon saw over his lifetime. And in chapter 2, verse 11 says, I looked on all the works that my hands had done and on the labor in which I had toiled, and indeed, all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun. Again, the point he is making is obvious. A life lived without God is no purpose, so because of this, we're to labor for the things that last beyond a lifetime. Once again, Jesus also made this very clear when he said in John chapter 6, verse 27, do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures everlasting life, which the Son of man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on him. When you think about it, the fact is, ultimately, you end up leaving everything you labored for behind, and often it's received by those who do not value nor appreciate the fact that you gave your entire life to build something that they casually dismiss as being unimportant. Later in chapter 2, Solomon says, I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. He went on to say, there's a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. The only thing that lasts eternally is what we've done in our service to the Lord. And this is the wisest thing that we can ever lay hold of. We labor for the things that last and that ultimately have true value.  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. This is the testimony of Scripture. We are wise when we labor in pursuit of the Lord. And as Paul said, we ought to set our minds on things above, not on things on the earth. After 12 chapters, this is what Solomon tells us that he had come to learn over his lifetime. After many chapters of informing his readers concerning what was simply vanity, he concludes his book by saying, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it is good or whether it is evil. When all is said and done, the truest wisdom is for us to fear God and to keep his commandments. Every work will be brought into judgment. And this knowledge serves to purify our lives and purify our works. May we learn from the wisest man who ever lived outside of Jesus himself. This is Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel of the Chino Valley, California.


Well, this is the next topic which is the concept of thermo regulation. As we have seen in the previous module or slide that homeostasis is an important variable which is the thermo regulation and the temperature key regulation. So thermo regulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain limits, like in humans as well, that is 37, that is the moderate temperature and in birds like this, it is up to 41, that is the moderate temperature for those animals. So its maintenance, this is what is called as thermo regulation and it also has limits. Even when the surrounding temperature is very different, like there are many organisms who live in extreme low conditions but their body temperature is not the one that is outside. Otherwise, if the surrounding temperature is too high, then its temperature will also be the same. But that is kept within limits. So this is what is called as thermo regulation. Now a thermoconformer, some animals are thermoconformers, that means that if the temperature is too high, then the animal's temperature will also be the same. But it is not very extreme, that is why these thermoconformers live in tropical regions where the range of temperature is not very extreme, that is the moderate temperature. And there are many other countries that live in these regions where the temperature is neither extremely cold, nor is it high, that is the high temperature, the environmental temperature. So a thermoconforming organism by contrast simply adopts the surrounding temperature. And the surrounding temperature will be the same as its own body temperature. Thus avoiding the need for internal thermo regulation. So a thermoconformer does not have to be so extreme to regulate the temperature. Why? Because this outside temperature is not in extreme conditions, especially in the tropical region. Now the temperature of a living cell that affects the rate of its metabolic process. So the role of the temperature in the metabolic process is very important. Any chemical reaction, if we slow down the chemical reaction, then the temperature will decrease. If we fast down the temperature, then the temperature will increase. But this is not beyond limits, it also has limits. Now an animal can grow faster and respond to the environment more rapidly as its cells are kept warm. If a living body is kept at a very low temperature, let's say zero or minus zero, then the activity of cells is usually slowed down. And if we are at a moderate temperature, the reason for this is the enzymes. So every enzyme has its own temperature and activity at certain optimum temperatures. So these are the organisms in the world that are conformists. So the temperature of a living cell affects, but the temperature affects the root to increase or decrease the metabolism of the cell or metabolic process. Now an animal can grow faster and respond to the environment more rapidly if the cells are kept warm. Because the warmth of the cells or the warmth of the animals or the moderate temperature is very suitable for the growth of an organism. It is like a plant, for example. So when a lot of people get a low temperature, their growth stops. Or a very high temperature, 50 degrees centigrade, then the activity of the plants slows down and their growth decreases. So when they come at a moderate temperature, then plants like these days, like in Monson, there is a lot of sunlight, the temperature is not that high and humidity is also good. That is why plants grow very fast in such a environment and the same is true with certain animals. Now this ability to control the temperature of the body is called thermo-regulation, as we also call heat control. It involves the nervous system, respiratory system and circulatory system. It is the role of the body to maintain the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, the panting starts so that the heat is generated and dissipated. So this is a nervous system or endocrine system which is very important to maintain this thermo-regulation or overall homeostasis. And this is the same thing that affects evolution. And as a lot of scientists believe, that the ability of some higher animals to maintain moderate body temperature is a major reason for their evolutionary success. So this is a very important role for evolutionary success. If the temperature had been very low from the start, then it is possible that this evolution would not have happened with that rapid process. So this is the concept of the thermo-regulation. So this is all about.
