Welcome to Hawaiʻi is my mainland. This is Kaui Lukas. Today I have two guests that speak to something that has been a part of most of my life, the hula, and two kumu hula and two generations of them. We have Puanani Alama, who was in the, for the very first monarch back in 1963. She was a judge and her daughter who is now, well, Mama is still teaching hula and has her own hulao here, but also Baby Pua is carrying on the tradition and spreading it on the continent for us. So she is also a kumu hula, Puanani young. So, veli damae. Welcome. And this is a special weekend. Yes, it sure is. So I haven't asked, you have your hoiki on Sunday at McKinley School auditorium. And what anniversary hoiki is this? Do we know? I can't even count. Really, I stopped having my hoiki as of 1985, would you believe it? And then just last year I resumed doing it in honor of my sister Leilani to bring back her work. She's in heaven, I must tell you. And so after doing it, I decided, well, I'd better get back in the thing of doing it for myself now and show off my work, because I just love my work. It's part of me and it'll always be part of me. So you and your sister, we both have our kumu hula. Yes. And how did that happen? I mean, give us the decades. Are we talking back in the 40s? Yes, in fact, when I was a little, little girl, you know, we never paid for our hula lessons. You have to be chosen. It's not just everybody. Just say, okay, I want to go to hula now, and you just go to hula and pay somebody like they do now. We didn't have very many privileged children, Miss Lucas. So you see, under those circumstances, if you were not chosen, you do not dance, or the hula. And so I was very blessed by having many people offering me my hula.  Did your mother dance hula? No, mom didn't dance the hula. She sang for us, but she never danced the hula. Dad danced the hula though. It was real good. It was real good. And you grew up in Honolulu? I grew up here in Honolulu, yes. And you were just telling us that actually in this very building, the play near Plaza, downtown, where the stage is? In my first hula studio, I opened my hula studio here in 1954, after I left my former place of teaching. And it was available because the gas brode company moved to Bishop Street. And so it was available. So I took over their very top floor. And there I started my hula business in 1954. And you were dancing. You had been dancing for quite a while, obviously, by that time. Oh, yes.  Maybe some people don't know, but that uniki is the graduation to become a group. Yes, I think I had one, maybe three of them, three hula graduations. And yes, I also like to select. I don't like them to think, okay, I've been at hula for about four or five years, I'm ready for it. I call the shot if they're ready or they're not ready. And out of my hula graduation, I just handpicked maybe three or four to graduate from hula. It's not the whole class.  So that just don't do anymore. But at my time, they all know the way it should be done, which was the way I did it. You choose who you think will be a very good teacher. And then that's how you uniki them. But of course, there's many people involved. You can't just, like anything else, right? It has to be a whole slew of people to make it very comfortable. And like anything else is part of business, you know, because you have to pay for a place of where we're going to have it and blah, blah, and blah, blah, you know. So it hasn't stopped yet. So in the mid fifties, in Waikiki, I'm saying Waikiki, although you said your studio was downtown, I was thinking of the pictures of you and the Hula Historic Preservation Society has compiled some beautiful pictures of you. And let's see some of those. And perhaps you can tell us what's the... This is at the new Malu Hotel, where now it's the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I dance there for many years with George and Opie. Now this is Hula graduation, I think this is. But it wasn't mine. This is my sister's. This is at the Alawaik Clubhouse on Makali and... Makali? What's the name of that street? Kapiolani Boulevard, right. It used to be right across of the... I can't remember that organization. And this here is at the new Malu. Uh-huh, this picture here. I was a feature dancer there at the new Malu Hotel. And this, now we're jumping into another generation. This is baby who is Hula. Perhaps you can just jump in here and talk about your Hula. Yeah, so I currently teach in Southern California in Mission Viejo, actually officially Laguna Hills, California. And this is my 19th year. This year is my 19th year. So next year will be my 20th anniversary. So as a Kumunau, knowing my mom's history with Ray Monarch, it was always kind of a goal for me to be able to take my Hula to the stage of Ray Monarch to kind of bring things full circle. So hopefully make mama proud that something she helped form and create and was a part of from the beginning could come full circle to see her lineage represented on stage. And so in 2014, I was able to, as invited, was able to take my group 2014 and 2015 to the Mary Monarch. Well, since we're on the subject of Mary Monarch, I mean that is an incredibly rigorous, I'm not going to call it an ordeal, honor. Yes. Lots of practice, lots of detail, lots of history. So, and coming from California, I mean, how does that work? Where do you get your materials? How do you do your, I mean, how does that all work? Yeah, it was a big learning curve. It was, you know, we started off, there are a few competitions in California that we participated in. It was first with Ejulamau. And then there's also Yaoya Cala in Northern California. And now we also participate in a competition, Kumukahi, which is in Las Vegas. And so starting off, you know, competing on the mainland, of course, was a great big help, stepping stone to learn a lot of things because my mom never competed. So the competition aspect of it was a big learning process for me. But I was very blessed. I have a lot of good mentors. I have a lot of good hula friends and hula other hula teachers that are a great support to me in addition to mama and my aunt. As far as the competition circle goes, I was very blessed to be have a lot of people to learn from.  Just the logistics alone is exhausting. Not, you know, needless to say all the preparations, the flower. I mean, it's a lot of coordination. And like I say, I'm very blessed, you know, having mama behind me and being born here. I did have a lot of people who were willing to lend a hand, which I couldn't have done without, you know, so a lot of good guidance.  It was very, it was like this warm memory just to be able to... The art gallery. Yes. They're my grandchildren. I love dearly. No fun making up their two trees. And that's... I can't help it. Don't get her started. The show will last two hours to start talking about them. It will. It really will. So she said that you actually have an engineering background. I do. I do. How did that work?  So that was always a restriction for me, you know. Okay, you want to do Hula, that's fine, but you go get your diploma because in mama's generation, you know, with the huge western influence, being able to be educated was a very, very important to them. So that was important. And so I had to get my diploma and I worked as a construction engineer for about seven years. And after I had my first son in 1997, then I told my mom, okay, I did what you asked. So what do you think? So at that point, it was like, yeah, you're ready. I mean, yeah, she's been preparing me for it and it was just one of the right timing was. So in 1997, I left my job and raised my son and opened my Hula. And now you, there is another generation. We have pictures of three generations. My twins. Yes, my twins are born in 1999 and they're 17 now. And they are, yeah, the next generation. So this weekend, are they here too? They are here too. We are here too. So we've come down and we will be making a cameo at the show. So we'll be part, but I'm here to help mom to support her and her hoike and we're excited to be here. Well, we're going to take a little break now and then come back and talk some more about Lovely Hula Him. Thank you. My name is Calvin Griffin, host of Military in Hawaii, which airs here on Think Tech Hawaii every Friday at 11 a.m. Please join us. We'll be talking about issues concerning our military, veterans community and other related issues that concern all of us. Aloha. You can join the Hawaii Farmer Series every Thursday from four to five on Think Tech. And I'm your co-host Matthew Johnson here with Justine Espirito. And we are so thankful to have this show to use as a forum to get to know all the movers and shakers in agriculture in Hawaii and hear kind of their background in history as well as. Their perspective on what they're doing and also the future for agriculture in Hawaii. So join us every Thursday. You can tweet in your own comments and suggestions and be a part of the conversation at Think Tech High. And we hope to see you every single Thursday. Welcome back to Hawaii is my mainland. I'm Kaui Lucas. And with me today are two of three generations of this family now dancing Hula in the most beautiful way. The matriarch here, Puanani Alama and her daughter Puanani Yung who is at Kumu Hula currently in California. So the idea of, I mean Hula is, as lots of people know, is incredibly popular in Japan for instance. And then you mentioned there are competitions in California.  But I don't know what it's like to do it somewhere else. Is it different? Yeah, well yes and no. I actually get that question a lot, especially competing and having the girls having to embrace the mele and how do I get them to really feel what the mele is about if they've never seen the place or been to the place. And all I can describe is when it comes to that we have to reach for things that people can take reference to. So if a mele has a certain feeling or it's bringing the composer a certain feeling even though they haven't been to that place we try to get them to somehow capture that feeling with something that they can associate with. So maybe we don't have the same types of waves or winds that they do down in Waikiki, but we can kind of try to explore where we are and what is similar and so how we feel about those things where we're from. So in that sense it is a little bit different for the students because I think that they don't get that touchy-feely type of experiences but on the other hand they love hula so much and when my mom's taught me you love your hula in here. And so that part's not different. That part's not different. My students love it so much and they to some extent soak it up with such vigor because they don't have what we have here and so to that extent no hula's not different because they have that same aloha for it but yes the physical part not seeing the exact mountains and what they look like and sure that part is a little bit and also you know the lifestyle you know just the lifestyle embracing the lifestyle that there's nothing that you can what can I say the island lifestyle and the island people yeah I mean you know there's nothing you can do to replace that honestly but they love their hula. They do love their hula. So who are your students? I have probably 50-50 I have 50% of my students are either displaced Hawaiians or their families are displaced Hawaiians and now sending their kids to me and the other half are just people from every walk of life that love the islands and love hula and want to learn more about the culture and love the dance and just want to learn. And then who are your students? Oh my they all come to Aina they all people from Hawaii here yes they're my students and so now yes how many generations? Oh, families yeah lots of lots of families you know their mom came to take hula and then her children and now their children's children takes lessons oh so you have your grandchildren wow that's fun yeah but now I've stopped teaching the children because as you get older you get a little bit more you don't have that type of patience you need to be a good teacher with the children it's like a game-playing that you play with the children they must like you to be able to my time now you just go because you have to go now you have the children must like you they'll show their stuff to you plus moms with me plus you're with me in that yeah and I go up because I want to be with my grandchildren I want them to know they have a tooth to you so do you teach when you're in California also? mm-hmm wow wow how fabulous yeah no my students are so blessed in fact I think sometimes my students get a little bit more of her attention than they do here you don't want to tell them that do you? so if there's a trademark alumma hula what would that be? a trademark or gesture or way of dancing I mean you know it's sort of every subtle my work is subtle and I like to express every wording of it I just don't like to just stay and just say the moon just the moon I just the moon moves I like that kind of a thing I like my gestures to be very how do you explain that? very specific very yeah well they are but I like a lot of gestures in it I think it's because it means so much to me because I see it in so many ways you know that instead of just saying okay here's the moon straight up front here's the moon no here's the moon there the moon moves about you know I like that kind of a thing that makes it feel real good and for for music do you have a favorite composer or favorite millie well that you would say was kind of a signature all the hula songs I love I don't have a favorite every song I love but my favorite singer not because I worked for him was bill aliello Lincoln he was my very favorite singer today I have another favorite singer but he's going to get real angry with me if I mention his name oh why yeah if he's that good we all want to know I think he's very good not that good he's very good and I think he knows who he is so I'm not going to mention his name so you don't get it well will he be will he be playing music on Sunday at the hoike no it's going to come though I think it's now he had better come or I'm going to go out with my puili and whack him but good if he's not there uncle kimo uncle kimo alama and his group will be performing with mama okay and they are related somehow I'm sure yeah so how is how is he related oh he's my favorite he's my puili he's my puili alright so again let's just refresh that it's going to be at the McKinley Auditorium this coming Sunday which is the 8th no the 9th sorry sorry sorry sorry the 9th the 9th and the timing would so the tickets are 30 tickets are $30 and it is two to four and doors will open at 115 and it's open seating open seating and and McKinley doesn't charge her parking you just might have to walk a little bit yeah and there should be tickets at the door there should be tickets at the door that's a wonderful historic come early because they have a great gallery at McKinley because it's over 100 years old and mama graduated from there oh 1948 so 1958 and my sister also 1943 okay and that's that may just makes it all even more wonderful and special exactly yeah I'm so looking forward to it because it is that that that real hula feeling and I have not done much as I grew older I have the musicians sing the songs and whatever happens I let other people do it for the girls this time I'm working with the girls I'm going to sing their songs I'm going to chant for them so if they want to see how it was done come and see it yeah they'll be just it's going to be quite interesting and I'm just praying that I live up to my to their expectations yeah so how often do you do you come back to Hawaii I try to make it back a couple of times a year you know just to reconnect with not just mom and bring the kids home so that they still have that connection to home even though they were born and raised in the mainland they still have their connection to their family and their Hawaiian roots and are there are there particular things you do to sort of foster that for your students who don't come back to Hawaii do you have any kind of rituals I mean in the broader sense it might be a potluck somewhere yeah no actually I think just you know I feel like just that the halau is there you know the halau really has become a second family to all my students whether they're you know have local roots or not and just the fact they're there and they have this extended halau family to me really is just the essence of being able to to feel that spirit of hula and aloha because some of them thought they'd come in and take a couple months and they just whatever but once they they get connected and they feel this warmth that they don't have elsewhere then you know they're it's part of them um we got a a short video that I'd like to to see and we can keep talking because it doesn't have music with it but it shows pictures historic pictures of you um that the hula preservation society put together and um um I'm 49 okay so you have seen many changes a lot of changes a lot of changes yes was that the new model too the new model okay and now I was advertising raw beer and my mom's not a drinker I'm not a drinker I never do I smoke and I didn't just stopped this is at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel so you also danced at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel I danced and I taught there I taught there from 1948 until 1956 this is at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel oh and that's a and that's a a cellophane a cellophane I have to say I always wanted to do for like the last the last 15 years it's been very uncellophane yes I feel like we've got as authentic as we can go right when you grow your own raw cake and you pound your own papa and you make your own um and so who knows there might be a resurgence I'm not sure I'm not a Mary Monarch no just for fun just for fun that's right thank you thank you so in the in the last minute um just say something about what Hula has meant to me as a life for me it's it's my life right and it's something where I find it has helped me in many ways um made me very independent a very independent woman um I taught it since I was knee high um I didn't go to college my high school was my last was at at McKinley High School where my Hula Hauike is going to be held um it's given me um a lot of um a lot of love in my heart oh really it has thank you a lot of love in my heart and it brings me want to do a lot of things with the people you know at one time it was so difficult for me because I was always so busy I dance at the in the night I taught during the day I mean it was just um my lifestyle was so different but now as I grow older I have the time okay and we can all come and see you in action with your your whole family and your halos um Sunday March 9th 2pm April 9th April 9th April 8th April oh thank you thank you thank you so much know them oh yeah


We do courses, 30-hour courses for the high school teachers. And it meets after school and on some Saturdays. And the teachers can either receive P-credit, professional credit, towards their next salary differential, or they receive a stipend for their work. And of course they produce a product, which is a good thing. And in the second history in the classroom, we started sort of chronologically with our course. And it was Conflict, Continuity, and Change, which was right in the beginning. And the most recent course, which we're in right now, is the Civil War and Reconstruction. And actually the crisis of the Civil War and Reconstruction. And the way we do it is we hire usually an historian that is about to get his or her doctorate. So they're young.


Hey everybody, this is Brett with Summit Auto in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and use Jeep and Jeep Wagoneer headquarters. Today I am super excited to do a quick walk-around on this brand new, our very first 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. This is a Series 3, it has the premium group, has the rear entertainment system, the quad seating, it has the passenger interactive screen, and it's fully loaded. This one has just about every option that you can get on a Series 3. Diamond Blacks to color, all the Wagoneers come with a 5.7 liter V8 Hemi engine, 392 horsepower, 404 foot-pounds of torque. This can tow up to 10,000 pounds, it's going to get you 20 miles per gallon on the highway, 15 city, and an average of 17 miles per gallon. Like I said, Diamond Blacks to color, we shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second. If you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the looks, styling, and options of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you like the video and want to subscribe to our YouTube channel where we do videos like this one each and every day of our new and used inventory, you can go to the link in the upper right hand part of the screen, which is a subscribe button to our YouTube channel, click that, and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates every time we do videos here. So real quickly, this is our fast walk around. If you want to watch the full-length version of our walk around in the upper right hand part of the screen, you can check out that video there. This is going to be very fast, very quick. I'm going to go through this stuff really quickly so the video is hopefully under 5 to 10 minutes in length. So to start off, this one comes with the 22-inch polished aluminum rims with the black noise painted pockets. It has Goodyear Eagle Touring 285-45R22 tires. Has an all-season tread pattern to them. Has all the LED headlamps, running lights, and fog lamps. We're going to turn on all those lights at the end of the video, so stay tuned for that. Like I said, we're going to make this a quick video. You get the Jeep or the Wagonier block lettering on the hood and the seven-slotted grille, of course. I'm going to show you the original window sticker and I am not going to go through everything. I'm just going to show it to you. You can pause it, you can zoom in, you can go through it yourself. But basically, there's all your standard features on the left. And then all your optional equipment is right there. It has the Quad Seating, which is $5.95. Premium Groups, $54.95. Rear seat entertainment groups, $19.95. And the passenger interactive display is $11.95. Total MSRP is $88.720. If you want to get your summit price in the upper right-hand part of the screen, there's a link to our website to this vehicle to see what we're asking for it, with all the rebates and incentives going on. Three-year 36 bumper-to-bumper, five-year 60 powertrain, and 20 miles per gallon highway, 15 city, and 17 average. We'll get to that interior in just a second. You got those nice big running boards. And I'll explain why those are so nice in just a second. Coming around to the back, you have the receiver hitch. 10,000 pounds. Tahoe can only tow 8,400 pounds. And the Expedition can only tow 9,300 pounds. So this is way more towing than its two main competitors in its group. It has the backup parking sensors, the power rear gate. Just press the button there, it comes on up. Everything is nice and smooth. It has the power fold-down third-row seats. I'll show you how those, wrong one. There we go. You can see how that goes down. And we'll come back around to that to get this gate down. You just press this button here, and you can see this. Hitch cover is kind of like a Baltic gray, I think, is the color they got on there. LED tail lamps. It has the capless fuel fill, which is a really nice feature. Never get gas on your hands again. Of course, four-wheel disc brakes. On the wagon here, you get the blind spot monitoring, heated mirrors, power, built-in directional signals, blind spot indicators as well. Inside, you get the heated and cooled global black leather seats. They're super comfortable. They're as comfortable as they look. You get the premium floor mats, auto headlamps, power tilt, telescopic steering wheel, power pedals, the Macintosh sound system. This is the 950 MX with 19 speakers. Get the nice wood-grain trim memory driver seat. This one has the 10.25 instrument cluster, and that is really good-looking. It has a bunch of different controls. You got digital speedometer. You can do everything with that, and it's all configurable. It's really cool. First thing that really grabbed my attention with this vehicle is the really soft-touch leather steering wheel. It definitely feels like quality. You have your adaptive cruise, normal cruise. You get the nice wagon, your logo in the middle, wood-grain trim on it, information center controls. Press that button, and it changes your menu over there. Then you have the UConnect 10.1 5C radio. So the cool thing about this radio is it's five times faster than the 4C, the previous version of this radio. It's run on Android Auto. It has the navigation system. You have your home screen, so that gives your radio AM, FM, Sirius. You can connect Android Auto, Apple CarPlay to this. You can connect up to two cell phones at the same time, Bluetooth. Just really a ton of stuff that you could do with this radio. We can make a whole video on this radio. You have your climate controls, heated seats, cooled seat buttons. You got your quick buttons on the side, which I like. And then, of course, your backup camera shows up here as well. You have your different vehicle settings. You can turn that passenger screen on, which there's your passenger screen. It has an HDMI hookup. You can control your audio there, your video there. Really cool stuff. And then your HDMI hookup is actually right there. You have a wireless cell phone pad, 8-speed automatic transmission, lane departure, start, stop, stability control, parking sensors, tow haul, all that good stuff. You can check out your backup camera. Everything is nice and HD. It has the receiver hitch zoom. And then you have all your different apps on here. And it's really got this cool thing. It's called Relax Mode. Of course, you get off-road pages and everything, but you get Relax Mode. And it'll actually play music, come up with all these different screens. So this one is called Terrain, I believe it's called, or Topographic. And then you have aura, fireplace, just some really relaxing stuff. Then the aquarium has kind of an Easter egg in it. If you look right there, it says 1963 when the Jeep Wagonier first came out. So that's cool. Anyways, you get the auto-dimming mirror, home link buttons, all your standard SOS and assist buttons, your panoramic or your tri-pane panoramic sunroof has the third-road glass roof as well. We'll take a quick look at the back seats. And then we'll do the final walk-around. You can see the Wagonier illuminates from the mirror on the floor. Second-row seats, quad seating, these seats are heated. You get the fire TV screens back here. You can hook up. If you've got Wi-Fi, or you're close to Wi-Fi, you can watch TV from them. Or if you've got the 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi turned on and activated, you can basically watch TV from wherever you are through the fire stick.  So the third-row seats, you can see that third-row seat is down nice and flat. When the second row is flat, it's absolutely perfectly flat. But the third-row seats, the thing, now getting into these, you got that nice, wide running board to get in here. And I barely have to duck to get in here. And when I'm in here, I have a lot of room. Just a ton of leg room. I'm really comfortable. I'm sitting not completely upright. I've got a little bit of lean to the back seat. You got a USB, USB-C. I have a ton of head room. I'd say I probably have maybe five, six inches above my head that I have back here. You have the speakers back here as well. Just a really nice setup for a third-row seat and very comfortable. And then, of course, getting out is easy as well. All I have to do is kind of bend over slightly and get out nice and easy like that. Throw this seat back. And these are adjustable, as you can see. You have rear air controls, two USBs. Two USB-Cs, another 115-volt, 150-watt plug-in, and a 12-volt power point. You get fire stick controls for those screens. So I'll trim out the same back here. Child safety locks on the back doors. And as promised, I'll do the final walk around here. I went a little bit over the 10 minutes. I do apologize. So I guess this is considered our quick video. But I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video, and hopefully you enjoyed it. Got to learn a little bit about the brand-new Jeep Wagon here. Got to check out all the options, the lighting. And like I said, we go a little bit more in-depth in that other video. There's another link to that if you wanted to check out the full version of this video in the upper right-hand part of the screen. Got all those nice LED lights. Everything is super bright.

Buck and Trader's turn, the two-mail chat is over me, but I generally want to draw your attention to the dollar calendar on the daytime frame here and mapping a corrective move versus this five-way decline. First leg up. Looking there for a test of this ascending trend line support area at 24, 41, 24, 50, which for a bullish reversal happens there to a certain long positions, initially targeting move up to 1K range resistance 129 and the 38 quad 2% retracement of the entire decline at 130. That's all with Trader's, plan the trade, plan the most importantly, manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.

Sue Terry snow she'll be with the melted butter over there I'll talk to them Faith Gruber is helping today Janet Ray helped with the tables my friend Liz Jill Van Eddy who I've known since the year 2000 she and I started the cafe at the Art Center in the year 2000 then after that she went to Northwestern and was in charge of oh I'm sorry I did I was an assistant director in one of the food and that's where she met Newman over there who is a physicist for God's sake a physicist but Liz when she worked at the cafe and in Sheboygan purchased a house here in Sheboygan and the house in Sheboygan is their vacation their Christmas their Thanksgiving their summer home and of course jar helped with decorating the table she always helps Anne and Anne Kraft did all these table decorations you created the ideas you created the ideas did I and then of course you heard about Newman down here this tall handsome man and then this other hands the short partly man Al Bosman is a county board supervisor I'm a county board supervisor and I met Al for the first time as a county board supervisor and I just liked Al I thought he was a good guy and he and his wife own a farm where if you all know where the old County Hospital or the Comprehensive Center is we're right in the backdrop of that so you're a farmer tell me what you farm I have grass-fed beef and I do hay for the cattle and soybeans corn and wheat so no corn corn yes I said that first yes thank you awesome yes I thank you Al for saying yes I thank you for coming here County board supervisor and I'm a county board supervisor for District 4 in Sheboygan which is sort of the northern part so if you live in that you can call me next month at the end of August the last Friday in August we'll be doing a state fair with cream puffs and things like that and the sous chef for the state fair cooking class at the end of August will be Elaine Crows which happens to be Al's daughter daughter you're not supposed to reveal that whatever I think she does a wonderful job she does yeah she does a wonderful job all right corn in these nest goes we have hot corn I think I'll get a glove corn on the cob and I did learn a few years ago to steam them or boil them with the husks and the silk and then I think I need an a glove when it's time to eat it works wonderfully well to you can get it open of course just take off it falls off so easily when it's cooked but it's hot as blazes it's hot as blazes and then 12 minutes hour and a half till till done and then you'll be ripping off all of this and just throwing it on the table because the tablecloth will go in the in the garbage then you take your cob of corn over to the butter table dunk it into that quart jar that has butter floating on top of it and it is messy that's true but so and you know it's messy just rubbing it on with with a knife also if you want any parmesan on your corn you can grate some in fact Terry let's put this over on the butter table so they can grate parmesan onto their corn there we'll do roasted corn salad we'll make little pancakes corn pancakes corn meal and flour you have the recipes and corn and mulberries and then mulberry syrup all right L let's make so we're gonna talk about sex in the cornfield now I don't know tell me about it this is public television I better keep it you know I'm wondering about that well I first of all how many of you had a grandfather or parent who was on the farm oh so you're an educated audience here so not not you Chicago but when you're you know when she's talking about peeling the silk back you understand that's part of the reproductive part of the plant and you know the last couple nights we've been having this warm humid weather and that's really what corn likes although corn does not like excessively hot weather that if you watch the Midwest weather or whatever if you get above 95 degrees the corn plant actually shuts down it's it's not liking that that it prefers whether in that 80 to 90 early low 90 temperatures and the humidity and of course now so the silk is basically the female part of the plant and the tassel or tassel depending where you're from that sticks up on top is the male portion of the plant and if you're just at the right time and the wind's not blowing too much and you stand in a cornfield you can hear the pollen falling on the leaves and things so every kernel that's on that cob happened because part of the pollen fell on one of the silks so every every silk is connected to a kernel well so imagine well how complicated that is and there's all kinds of other stories I don't want to bore you with too many well Scott Miloff was telling me that in high school and probably yeah corn detastling job in the summer oh yes how many of you have done that Scott has right oh yes I remember people talking and the tasseling is only done when you're raising hybrid corn so what you're trying to do is they select I'll actually let Scott tell the story but you have a certain the male plants in in two rows two rows and they want to they want to make sure that they breed that plant with with the plants they want to breed them with and and seed production is totally different than sweet corn I mean sweet corn is a common you know it's common leave but you you know you don't it doesn't work well to plant sweet corn next to field corn or you can have strange things happening although my father-in-law did it for years and he said the sweet corn always came later so they weren't pollinating at the same time and my grandfather would plant corn right outside and when the raccoons got it you know he had fields of it and he would use the young field corn and boil that and eat it yes yes right and you always raised popcorn also because he loved popcorn but so today through breeding genetic engineering whatever we now have the bi-colored sweet corn and things which wasn't available what 20 years ago probably it's been the last 20 years that they've developed that type of thing so there I can remember many many years ago there was white sweet corn if you looked in the like the big seed catalogs there was white and and somebody decided well let's put the two of them together so we have more of a garden salad when we're eating this thing couple different flavors going on so thank you thank you and and wrote some of yes I was hoping you'd give us some information about farming also I I'll just tell you when I was a young man many many years ago I worked on a harvesting crew for sweet corn for several years and currently now there's still obviously people anyone can grow sweet corn where you've got a plot of ground but used to be a lot of canning factories in eastern Wisconsin that harvested sweet corn and we have them here in shavuagon right and well out in my area was called Calumet Dutch it went from cedar grove to Chilton Green Bay the whole Lakeshore and they were looking at the temperate climate that we didn't get real hot so that was a plus the problem is we have clay soil here and if it got wet we were getting stuck in the mud all the time and if you you can't imagine corn pickers out there getting stuck in the mud that you didn't know where to hook on them to pull them out and it so now a lot of corn is raised in central Wisconsin and what they call the central sands that they have taken a lot of this area I think a lot of it originally was potato country and they've expanded a lot of it so they have irrigation so it gives them complete control they're on sandy ground they can put on the amount of water they want they can shut it off when they want so they don't get stuck in the mud when they're harvesting and it's all about the replacement of labor with machinery so let's make corn salad okay yes oh yes and oh and wants to talk about this thank you for reminding me and I would have forgotten okay and tell us about this plastic stuff I'm telling my son about Marilyn and this cooking class and she he says well you do other things with corn than cook and he created this in our world today corn is used to make a it looks like a plastic thread oh yeah sure and you take this plastic thread and you put it into your 3d printer so that's plastic corn no plastic corn made out of corn why corn is being used for many things including to make modern plastics including windows you may look out a window somewhere and it could be made out of corn the pain or the frame the pain oh my gosh there's many things being made out of corn corn manufacturing is is just very important to us now there's printed some of these out good and this explains it thank you thank you Chris thank you and roasted corn salad I'm gonna turn on first I'll put a little bit of oil on to little foil now can you just turn that baby on you asked the wrong guy to do this well if you can figure it out I oh I hear it okay and corn I hope we got this this is the timer side and husket or you can open a can which is what I did for the corn salad and also for this demo put a little oil on there a little bit of salt a bit of pepper and of course you can use your pepper out of your shaker or cooking class to use the grinder looks more like cooking class right and then to get it a little more golden and flavorful some sugar and then that goes into this oven I don't know if that will be ready in five minutes or an hour and five minutes but I'll cut up some vegetables that will go into that also and you can see the dressing on the corn salad is kind of like an Italian dressing and a variety of vegetables in there Al you want to cut up this cucumber and these radishes oh jeez however you like and the pea pods and then I will show the corn salad to everybody else Newman I need you is this stuff supposed to be diced or just sliced the way you like it makes no difference it's going to be what it go into the salad then we got to dice it I better get the and Newman is going to put the pan right next to you yeah okay this you don't want to eat okay let's hold up this salad a little bit look at that roasted corn in the oven the dressing and in here we have parsley chives cucumber radish hikama anything you want but he come on give you hiccups and of course it instead of he come up you could use fine dice turn up that tastes good in there something like that frozen peas or fresh peas out of the shell but frozen peas are gorgeous right just thought of them and put them in when it comes you got some bad looking stuff here Marilyn the sugar snow peas a little bad spot but like this you need to tear off that it you do yes it's we're chucking peas here yeah okay I was a pea picker do you didn't know that oh my well I suppose did you did you live on a farm as a kid certainly but I I was a pea harvester along with a sweet corn harvester and that was a machine I would guess well yeah but you know in the early days they didn't have machinery to go to the fields to do the peas they had what was called a stationary viner and they would just cut the peas like you'd cut hay and then then they had a like a hay loader for those of you who would know what that is but it elevated up on the trucks and then the trucks would go down the road and take them to the factory and then there was a stationary a stationary machine inside that actually took the pee out of the pot but all the kids would run up to try and grab some peas off the back of the I see some people not in here that you would try and grab some peas all right and we actually had migrant workers already back then to to work in the canning industry is that enough there that's enough yes it is okay put this into this corn salad then we'll give it a stir so these new vegetables are being incorporated into the previous stuff I'll make a little room on our table now we have tasting spoons Newman and Al why don't you each take a tasting spoon and taste our corn salad I got it I got a filling that's bigger than a spoon look at this little tiny spoon tastes like corn salad it does it does it does and I got the idea of this roasted corn salad from the cafe at the art center because they're doing it and Lindsay the head chef there now said well Marilyn I just open a can of corn drain it oil it and season it and roast it in the oven I said that beats the heck out of putting soaking the corn putting it on the outdoor grill getting the charcoal no thanks all right any questions about our corn salad yes yes can you make corn relish out of that sure you could I would keep not all of those vegetables in there but the roasted corn part and then of course it would be some sugar added to it and then process but being corn I'll bet you'd have to pressure can it to be sure it was safe right not just steaming it because I remember my grandmother that was this time when the corn was ready she would make corn relish and that was a treat all through the now maybe with the winter with enough sugar in there perhaps she could get away with just steaming it I'd have to look at the canning books but usually corn has to be pressure can to make it safe all right that's the corn salad now the little mini corn pancakes the recipe calls for flour and corn meal and corn so let's let's make some of this a cup of flour Tupperware remember Tupperware we were all gullible where we sell what Tupperware and of course lasted for 45 years and a half cup of yellow yellow corn meal and I'll let you keep stirring this and I feel like I'm on the today's show you are and some sugar it's a dessert pancake we're putting in a fair amount of sugar you when you take these bags and just put them behind thanks so I'll tell you a little story Marilyn was showing me the pancakes and she said I think they're black raspberry or what was the other thing you thought mulberry well and I looked at them I said no those are mulberries because I don't know how many of you are familiar with mulberries but you pick them off of a tree and there's always a little stem that stays with the mulberries and I said and that would always get caught between your teeth always these dental issues and my grandmother had a mulberry tree in the backyard and she would make mulberry sauce and mulberry this and mulberry that and one day she hung on a Monday I'm sure she hung all the sheets out on the line and and the birds had been eating mulberries guess what happened that year cut that mulberry tree down and of course I've run out of buttermilk so I'm using regular milk nothing terrible happens if you put a little vinegar in there you'd have buttermilk I would accept there I could not find any vinegar in place lemon I could have yeah right all of that stuff or just leave the jug open long enough I know a little bit about cooking yes you do and a couple of eggs and of course you know that I don't care for brown eggs he wasn't even surprised no the class knew what was coming they did oh okay and some honey honey and you can see this is all carefully carefully measured and some melted butter that's cooled and this has this is all good stuff you're putting in here what can you scrape up half of that or so and corn kernels you got those check your pockets okay you're right I did I put them all in the oven so some of them will go in here that's exactly right I put them all in the oven well that won't matter if you're toasted like so you want it all in there yeah let's put it all in there thought you had a different job for that well let's we'll put a little bit into this fresh corn salad there she she's kind of the Julia child of uptown social huh Julia knows really hard and fast rules do not need apply no sometimes they really do when it comes to brain surgery with cooking oh my gosh yeah and black raspberries which I don't have here a currents current mulberries mulberries right alright now I have this heated yep thank you thank you thank you and a little flavoring the pancake batter I made there I put in orange extract and orange peel and I put in raspberry extract more flavorful and here's a little bit more of orange that we can put into this one but then these three little bottles are dead no bushlight I suppose you could use beer instead of milk not on your cereal you know the older I get the more I become childlike in varieties of ways like first thing in the morning wake up hungry and want cold cereal I hadn't eaten cold cereal for 60 years now it's my favorite thing and I ate cereal for 60 years and I like nothing better than going to the cafe for a pancake Cheerios raisin bran okay that's well stirred all right you got a beaker for that oh thank you thank you when you found the mulberries yes now this time I'm pouring them in here now my volunteers this morning carefully made probably a hundred or so pancakes and what they did is they carefully put the batter into the pan and then sprinkle the berries on top because if I stir this too much the batter all of a sudden will look a little purple mulberries do that yeah Newman you want to do these you already did 70 pancakes and and the little stems are on there but I don't notice them do you notice somewhere after they're cooked no okay now fiber it's all fiber yeah it's all fiber I've been making jam I called a black raspberry I was completely wrong it was mulberry so right raspberries always leave the stem behind yes yes they do okay now I think I'll have that straight in my head are they wild blackberries aren't but I mean they're yes question oh rhubarb mulberry pie oh my yes well any kind of fruit with sugar and across cook it or put put cream in it yeah it's wonderful I wish you take off this thank you look at that oh that Newman he knows how to he does worker work a spatula well you know living with Liz for all living with Liz right and so he knows how to cook and Tristan knows how to cook also and Newman is tall Tristan is as tall as you almost yeah and now tall Liz is the shorty in the family are they done on the other side already okay okay I've turned it off and then they can go on top of those the egg yes we'll put the eggs in Marilyn is this supposed to be shot off yes I pulled the plug oh yeah pull the plug right yes because I yeah I don't want to make any boo boo's I think that's it the cooking class went pretty darn fast you learned about corn on the cob which you knew but to me the best part of this corn on the cob is that you get this cob and you strip it at the table nose pointers there to to hold on to you just have a nice handle like this or if you want to too are there more napkins available I always need about six napkins when I'm eating corn I don't know and of course I always come with a pair of scissors in my tool chest and we use them and my volunteers carefully put them back but every cooking session scissors just fly away and I get a new pair for the next month and nobody stealing them you know they are somewhere we just do not know where that's called that's called a half inch wrench in the shop explain that well it's a commonly used thing and and you end upsetting it down somewhere you can't find it so yes every time you go to town buy another wrench every time at the grocery store one or two of those scissors yep all right start with the corn do the corn salad on your plate come down and get a little plate for your dessert and then some of volunteers will put some syrup on there or powdered sugar oh you go back to your table peel your corn and then dunk it now it's going to be messy so you may want to take your plate with you do we have oh good Liz okay so Liz will have a stack of paper towels on the butter table and you can hold your corn over your paper towel back to your table does that make sense does that make sense okay let's eat


Leopard tanks can speed up nuclear war. Head of Russia's delegation to the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, Konstantin Gavrilov has called on the West to prevent nuclear provocations with Leopard 2 tanks. We warned the Western sponsors of the Kiev military machine against encouraging nuclear provocations and blackmail. We know that Leopard 2 tanks as well as the Bradley and Marder armoured infantry carriers are armed with armor-piercing projectiles with uranium warheads. Their use leads to the contamination of the area like it was in former Yugoslavia and Iraq. In case such munitions for NATO made heavy weapons are supplied to Kiev, we will consider that as the use of dirty nuclear bombs against Russia with all the consequences that come with it, he said at the OSCE forum on security cooperation. The German government decided earlier to send 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine. Apart from that Berlin will allow re-export from other countries. Russia's ambassador to Germany Sergei Necheev slammed this decision as extremely dangerous as it raises the conflict to a new level of confrontation. Berlin's choice in his words signaled the final refusal of Germany to recognise historical responsibility for Nazi crimes committed during the Second World War. He said the decision cast into oblivion the difficult path of post-war reconciliation between the Russians and Germans.


the 112-feet face of Adiyogi, and the Yogeshwar Linga, in the times to come, the place where we have gathered is going to be a source of inspiration for all. ఒిచతియంచ పార్యస్లిటో చారకవర్వర్ చిథదిండంపినిక AMY కౕికైట్లి కిరి కలి గిర్లి క్లి కిచ్రలి మాలిన౒న్ నారినుంచి ట్లిక్లిటుయస� and their interiority, this ability must be given to our forces for the job that they're doing, which is crucial for the making of this nation. For 4000 full-time volunteers who are here and over 7 million part-time volunteers who've done many things, they've spent money from their own pockets and the amount of time and effort that they've put in, I think for all of them this is a wonderful acknowledgement that they've not been ignored by the nation. First you have to work upon the scientist, the scientist has to work upon himself to enhance himself. Without enhancing this machine which perceives everything, you try to enhance everything else, how will that work? Whichever way this one is, that's how it'll perceive, isn't it? The significance of being in a technological institute is not about just getting qualified to get some job somewhere or a passport out of the country. It should become a way of creating life, making life happen better than the way it's happening right now because this is a fundamental responsibility that we have as a generation of people. Do you see yourself as a politician? Do you want me to stand for an election? No, I will not because my election is in the hearts and minds of people not in the ballot box. I've made a mistake, Sadhguru. My mistake is that I'm constructing a studio for our channel, Republic. I constructed it in Lower Pareil. Can you tell me the way to Chamundi Hill, please? I can make it happen in wherever you are. For the first time, for the first time in seventy years, across the spectrum of parties, of all kinds of ideologies have come together in one voice and rallying for rivers for the first time. We want to make this rally happen in a celebratory way, in a joyful way.  The political leadership in the country is making a clear statement that they are beyond their personal ideologies and opinions. The entire nation responded, the media responded wonderfully. All the national icons of film and sport responded. I think they made a big difference in the whole process. We wish to congratulate and express our gratitude to all of them. Above all, all of you, the volunteers, each of volunteers across the country. You're quite crazy. That's a good qualification. You must make this happen, Mumbai. It is our business to see that what is needed for individual well-being is in the hands of an individual, not in the hands of organizations or priests, pandits or gurus, but it's in the hands of each individual. Please take this up and make this happen and enhance your own lives and all the lives around you. You are the incarnation of the sustainable development goals because while there are 17 of them, they are all at the end about these two people and planet, uplifted people and protect the planet and that's your mission. So thank you so much, people and planet.


Analogy is a powerful tool in science. In physics, for example, atoms have been visualized as everything from balls on springs to soap bubbles to help scientists understand how real materials behave. In this spirit of simplification, researchers recently exploited the analogy between electron waves and sound waves to design an acoustic model of exotic materials called topological insulators. The model could largely recreate the fundamental behavior of these materials, even giving rise to the same strange phenomenon called a vial point. The model is therefore expected to make the study of topological insulators more accessible while also offering up interesting applications of its own. Topological insulators are special materials that have the ability to conduct charge along their edges but not through their interior. Charges are shuttled along a one-way path without bouncing off defects or impurities. The discovery of materials that can behave as topological insulators, such as bismuth telluride and mercury telluride, has greatly simplified how this peculiar charge conduction scheme can be studied. Unlike their predecessors, which often required strong magnetic fields, specially designed cooling systems and powerful light sources to be tested, these materials are easy to handle and can be probed at room temperature. As it turns out, though, scientists can make the study of these materials even easier by replacing the complexity of electron waves with the simplicity of sound waves. In this study, this exchange was made by devising an acoustic analog to a traditional topological insulator. The material was conceived as a honeycomb network of cylinders filled with air and connected by tubes. These cylindrical nodes behaved as artificial atoms between which pseudocharges in the form of sound pressure could hop. The tubes linking the cylinders were arranged in a pinwheel pattern to force hopping to occur along a counterclockwise direction. The scattering of air through this configuration of tubes produced an acoustic version of the magnetic flux that pushes charges along the edges of conventional topological insulators. Simulations showed that the acoustic crystal even allowed for conduction through barriers such as corners and defects. But perhaps the most striking evidence of the correspondence between the acoustic waveguide network and its electronic counterpart was the generation of special mathematical constructs called vial points. Mathematically, vial points are equivalent to magnetic monopoles, hypothetical particles that behave like magnets with only a north or south pole. Although long theorized to exist, vial points were only recently detected experimentally in certain solid-state infotonic crystals. The observation of vial points in the present study represents the first time they have been generated in a three-dimensional acoustic crystal. The researcher's system is not the first acoustic topological system devised to date, but it is among the simplest because it is able to generate a synthetic flux without a constantly moving fluid. And it is this simplicity that makes it easier for results to be extended to electromagnetic and other classical waves. Because the system could serve as an acoustic material in its own right, the researchers also expect their findings to hold significant implications in the fields of sound signal processing and sound energy harvesting.


Into other parts of Africa, two air strikes hit the capital of Ethiopia's Tigray region, Mkele, this morning, killing 10 people. According to local health workers, the debt toll could climb as more patients were reaching the hospital. On Tuesday morning, a drone strike hit a university campus in Mkele, causing unknown number of injuries. Tigray rebels have accused the government of carrying out fresh drone attacks in the regional capital, Mkele, two days after the sector were ready for an immediate ceasefire.
