Google Hotels? Is Google getting into the hospitality business with Hotels? No, but when I searched for my hotel, I'm going to be traveling to VidCon very soon. I was using Google and I found something very interesting about Google Hotels. I started by going to google.com slash hotels and I think this will help you, anyone who's traveling. Do you see this message? Google used to have a hotel finder, but it is now directly integrated into Google. How it works is just go to google.com and type Hotels and then you'll see right here Hotels near your area. You can customize the dates you want to check in and check out and if you want something in a different location just click More Hotels and it creates this new custom hotel search that will help you find exactly what you're looking for. I use it to find a great hotel in the US where I'll be staying near VidCon. Did you ever try Google Hotels? Tell me in the comments below. And did you also know Google does flights? If you go to google.com slash flights, this is a full search engine that gives you pricing as well as layovers as well as all the options of where you can buy your ticket, the different travel agencies. Let me show you an example. If I want to go from San Francisco to Vienna, let's say, look how quick that is. It showed me the best prices for all the different airlines and if I want one of these tickets, let's say I want this one, then it shows me the details about the flight as well as a return flight that I have to choose because I chose round trip. And once I've chosen those, it gives me the choice of where to buy these, all the different travel agencies or online vendors that you can book your ticket with. So Google doesn't actually sell tickets, but it indexes all the prices and it gives you a very handy search where you can choose flexible dates to see what the prices are if you go a day earlier or if you return a day earlier. So you can find the best price for your budget. There's also a price graph which shows you the historical peaks and valleys and there's a lot of difference. Even if you change your flight by one day, you can save several hundred dollars and you can get that through Google flights. Did you know about Google flights? Tell me in the comments below. Do you have any other tips about Google to help all of us grow? Tell us in the comments below because that is the spirit of freedom. We all help each other grow together as a family, the freedom family. And click that I if you haven't already partnered with freedom and let's grow together. Did you also know that Google has very intelligent answers to common questions like what is 14 times 2? It shows the result in a calculator that you can continue multiplying. How about 100 Canadian dollars in US dollars? It shows you the exchange rate as well as a historical graph. How about 6 feet in inches? It shows you the conversion between feet and inches. How about asking things like what is the weather like today? Google shows you your current weather forecast. How about looking up the definition of a word? If you start your search with define colon, then the word with no space and you press enter, it gives you a dictionary definition of solidarity because I searched for define solidarity. What else does Google search do? Do you know any other cool tricks that we can all share with each other? Tell us in the comments below. I would love to know what other hidden secrets are in the Google search engine. And do you enjoy these kinds of videos where we give you tips about common things that you would need to do in life, not just on YouTube, such as search for hotels or flights or look up the definitions of words? I can do a whole series about tools like Gmail, like Google Sheets, like Google presentations and other things that I use every day that I think may help you. If you tell me down there in the comments below that you'd like to learn more than just about videos and YouTube. And I apologize for getting this video out so late today. It is 7 a.m. local time here in the Philippines and normally I would be featuring your comments and channels right now.

how horrible to be laying in bed not able to get out for seven days while your husband is dead in the next room and no one can help you and no one can find you for seven days and the bird starts eating on her husband so I mean I can't imagine what's going through her head for seven damn days with no food or water that's horrible absolutely horrible


And then if you're on a 10% of calories from fat's diet, it's too low. And so you're never going to be in optimal health on a diet that low in fat. Why is that? Because Omega 3s and 6s have functions in every cell in your body. Every cell needs them. And like I said, it can't make them, but you still got to have them so they have to come from foods, foods or supplements. And when you get enough Omega 3 and 6, they improve the function of the cell receptors.


We wanted to be able to support teachers around quality teaching and learning. So part of what we did was we provide time here every Tuesday for teachers to go and observe each other. And then we have a practice analysis conversation afterwards. We had one of my leaders observe in every classroom the targeted student teaching. And so we were able to collate from that what we believed our strengths were as a school. We also had wonderings around we're not sure about some of these parts here which we then shared with everybody and so that provided a collective understanding and it gave us a real focus on where we needed to go next and what learning we needed to do collectively. The observer gets lots of really good ideas and it hones that person's practice because we have to really be looking to seeing what deliberate acts of teaching are happening here. As a leader you have to think about what question am I going to ask this teacher to support them to think about their next learning steps. It's not just about telling the teacher what they're doing well and what they need to do next because that doesn't always work because it has to come from them, doesn't it? It has to be important and meaningful to that person, not to me, to that person. Kelly has facilitated us to have every Tuesday. There's a reliever available in the school and we can decide if we want to go and observe someone else's practice within the school or it's even been going and observing other schools' practices. It's a great way to see the progressions to be able to go and observe the year lower down than me. This is what they're doing so then am I following this up in my class?


Heart rate sensors, motion sensors, and many other types of connected sensors enable useful and convenient services that may keep us safer and healthier, help us save time and energy, and be more productive and efficient. But as we've already heard, these new sensors are fueled with our data, data about our habits, our activities, our bodies, data about when we are asleep, when we are awake, where we are going, how fast we are getting there. When this data enables services we want, we are happy to provide it. But there are growing concerns that our data may be used against us. For example, in our smart homes, we want our refrigerators to sense when we are out of butter and remind us to pick more up at the store. But we don't want them to tell our health insurance companies. We want our houses to sense when we are home so they can turn on and off the lights and play our favorite music. But we don't want them to tell other people when we come and when we go. We want to walk into a cafe and pick up our favorite drink without having to wait in line or get out our wallets. But we don't want the baristas to know anything about us. We want our cars to know where they are so they can avoid collisions and route around traffic jams. But we don't want other people to be able to track us. Most of all, we want to be the ones to decide who gets to use our data and for what purposes. We don't want our data taken from us behind our backs by companies we don't know and used for purposes that don't benefit us. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain control over your personal data. When you walk into a smart building, there are sensors that monitor your movements. When you put on a fitness monitor, your steps, your sleep patterns are transmitted. Your cell phone sends your location to advertisers. Even the smart meter in your house transmits data that can be used to determine what exactly you're doing at home. So imagine if when you walked into a room, all of the sensors had lights that flashed and audio alerts to indicate that they were collecting your data. Soon you'd be immersed in the chaos of sound and light, but you still wouldn't really know what data was being collected and how it was being used and how you could control it. At Carnegie Mellon University, we are building personalized privacy assistants to help people maintain control over their digital privacy. So imagine your privacy assistant is a computer program that's running on your smartphone or your smartwatch. Your privacy assistant listens for privacy policies that are being broadcast over a digital stream. We are building standard formats for these privacy policies so that all sensors will speak the same language that your personal privacy assistant will be able to understand. These privacy policies will explain what information is collected and how it will be used by all of the sensors. Imagine you walk into the room and your personal privacy assistant will listen over wifi and Bluetooth for sensors that are broadcasting their privacy policies in a digital stream. Imagine that your privacy assistant has detected 15 sensors in this room. 14 of these sensors were here last time you were in this room. Your privacy assistant knows that you don't mind the motion sensors, the humidity, the temperature sensors, which don't actually record any information that will identify you individually. It knows that you want to notify your friends who are in the building of your location. It sees that there's also a video camera that wasn't in this room last time you were here and it knows that you're concerned about video surveillance. So it vibrates to alert you. You pull your phone out of your pocket to find out who is going to have access to that video stream. And you request that your face be blurred in the video. Later, when you arrive home, that your thermostat has already turned on the heat and your house is a comfortable temperature. There's a knock at the door and there's a carpet salesman there. You don't want to buy a carpet and you're really annoyed at this interruption. So you check your privacy assistant to find out how the carpet salesman knew that you were home. You see that you previously shared your calendar with the carpet company when they were installing carpet in your home. So you change your privacy setting so that only your family has access to your calendar. Your privacy assistant warns you that now your thermostat will not be able to warm up the house before you get home.  We are doing research to make personal privacy assistance a reality. However, if these tools are going to be built into products, we need vendors to adopt privacy standards. It is easy to get caught up in the promise of connected sensors. But with some forethought, we can build in controls that will allow people to enjoy the benefits with less privacy sacrifice. My question to you is, what do you want your personal privacy assistant to do for you? Thank you.


I'm here at day three at NAB. This is the Intel Studio Experience booth. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com. This is theCUBE, our flagship telecast. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise, talk to the thought leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, companies, anyone who has something to share, we're going to extract that and share that with you. Dave Vellante, my co-host, Dave. John, good to see you, day three here at NAB. All kinds of stuff going on at this show. It's a really changing ecosystem. It's growing, a lot of cool stuff on the floor that we've seen, some great guests on and looking forward to another good day with you. Yes, so let's just wrap up some quick news today. Obviously, on the web, obviously, Facebook and Instagram again is in the Wall Street Journal talking about how fast that deal went on. I think we pointed to that example of Facebook buying Instagram for a billion dollars here inside theCUBE at NAB because obviously photography show here where cameras and images are part of the landscape obviously with video. Instagram essentially sold for a billion dollars. Some argue they didn't really create any real tech value. Eight kids, 13 total when they got bought can be worth a billion dollars and it can be like Kodak, Dave, can be bought for nothing. Actually going bankrupt. So Kodak solves a lot of photography tech, built a lot of tech, licensed it and just made blunder after blunder with their business model and is worth zero. And Instagram is worth a billion. So this highlights the NAB effect that's going on around democratization of media, lower cost equipment, high end photography, high end video equipment once designed for motion picture industry and broadcasters is now down to anyone, right? So anyone with a camera can be a producer. It taps unlimited creativity, new solutions hitting the market. So really a phenomenal trend we're seeing in tech, very disruptive. Yeah, so the story that hit the Wall Street Journal this morning was that Zuckerberg essentially did the Instagram deal on his own over the weekend talking to the CEO of Instagram and then Sunday evening sent an email out to his board saying, hey, basically I'm going to do this deal. Now he didn't do anything wrong. He owns more than 50% of the company but investors should realize that when Facebook goes public nothing's going to change. Had Facebook been a public company this is how the deal could have gone down. So he's got a lot of latitude to make any deal he wants. Well I think the moment in history in the tech business was Google's IPO when Larry and Sergey maintained multiple classes of stock to maintain control and really it's a trend around founder led companies and this was once outlawed in the 20s by the government now allowing that to happen where you had all this kind of control, now it's back. So people are questioning that. What does that mean for a public company? Does it shape the public markets, et cetera? So that's interesting to watch. The other thing that I'd say Dave is that from an NAB standpoint mobile is big and I haven't seen a lot of mobility being discussed in terms of really raw solutions. I'm seeing support for mobile but not a lot of mobile demonstrations. You're seeing mobile advertising, obviously millennial media went public this past month. Huge deal, largest independent mobile advertiser. That's a big deal. And you're seeing Google with Android really come up and take a big position in the mobile market but to me still mobile is so early from an experience standpoint from a real video broadcasting motion picture perspective. It's there with some solutions but carriers have to carry the cost for the bandwidth. So that's a big thing. So I think in this case Zuckerberg saw that it was defensive in a way, right? You saw Instagram as a potential threat especially now with the Android app coming on. And so he's got to move fast. He's facing it. Zuckerberg wants to own the world. So he got to like the speed at which he's making these deals. So Dave let me ask you, what is your thoughts on NAB? We're in our third day, we've got two days, we had a chance to talk to a lot of people here inside the Intel Studio Experience in theCUBE. We walked the floors. What is your angle on what's happening? Well I think we've been talking all week about the consumerization of media and the democratization of media more specifically. And we're also seeing some amazing tech beyond 3D, beyond HD, beyond surround sound. And much of that we've shown inside this Intel Studio experience. And so I think John bringing those technologies to the masses were on the cusp of an explosion in this whole media business. And I think the big observation for me is the infield editing and the support for the kind of equipment that was once regulated for the professionals. And I think that's going to change the game on the business model side of the equation and something that is talked about in certain sessions but clearly a new generation of companies will emerge from this. So I think that's one. The technology is another one. I think we're seeing the insight deck which is being showcased here at Intel Studio Experience where we call it the epiphany wall. It's really incredible. So that kind of tech is going to enable more of an experience. So I think ultimately at the end of the day is you're going to see a new entry into players and I think the experience programming is a big deal. Eric from Show Real is going to be on again today to give us his perspectives on that. So very, very interesting stuff. Yeah, so you're right, he's going to be back and we're going to see from him what is going on at the show. He's scouring the show. He's a consumer of all this technology. And we've seen a lot of innovations in video and a lot of innovations in audio and so we're going to explore some of that today and bring you all the coverage from NAB live from.


Comments be like changing the wallpaper. It's easy. Just right-click the desktop. How hard can it be? Well, let me tell you. Yes, changing the wallpaper is easy if you're John Smith from, I don't know, England But if you're KDE and you want to change the default wallpaper, well, you're going to lose some time So you could say yes, but it's just changing a file. It's not going to take much Well, yes, but you we don't just change the file of the wallpaper and that's it We also want to a preserve the old wallpaper So basically we take the old one and we move it to another repository and sure it's very easy You just need to move it and It to the make file and then you know get a branch committed to the branch and get pull that's easy But you need to know that wallpaper Are not just files. We actually have entire folders about it containing various metadata like the order and stuff like that But we just need to create a new folder for the new wallpaper and that's it, right? Well, no, we also have in breeze many many Previews of you know the light version of breeze dark version of breeze and so on the lock screen Etc. And all of those use the wallpaper and we cannot let the preview or use old Wallpapers so each time we need to pop up the application always in the same spots the lock screen the login screen screenshot them screenshot each application Sorry the application for each theme light dark Twilight then get all of those screenshots together make copies of them to have a higher resolution JPEG copy and a lower resolution PNG That's what we do and move it to the right folders Which is like six different folders in two different repositories that takes time and It's annoying and we have to do it like every three months. So we also need to change the wallpaper size and Generate lots of sizes for the wallpaper. We don't have just a 5k version of it. We also have HD full HD the various aspect ratios One wallpaper for mobile. We need to crop it vertically so that it's pretty There are various things to do. So after years of doing it manually and losing lots of time I decided decided for 5.23 to do a script and these are the kind of things that user Usually don't even know about but I just lost hours to do that So I just wanted to share the script with you. So it's pretty simple. It just looks simple, but it isn't I Won't go through each line because it's useless But the general concept is one we need to you know, I've got some util Classes, but let's skip past them. But I have very important one. We need to get Check out the master branch get pull if possible I actually removed that because it kept freezing at the step. So no get pull for us We need to delete the branch We are going to work on if it already exists make a new one switch to that one And that's the git setup then we need to move the wallpaper actually Sorry before that. We need to know where the repositories are So we ask the user where is the folder for breeze where is the folder for plasma workspace blah blah blah Very boring then we move the wallpaper from breeze to plasma workspace wallpapers Where we keep all of the old wallpapers after doing that we change the metadata file Sorry the make file then we create a new directory for the new wallpaper We generate the sizes we go on take the size that we want and use it To create the previews now one approach that I could have done was to just set it Automatically as a wallpaper then pop up the windows in the right positions take a screenshot for all from the script But I thought that it was going to be pretty difficult So what I did was just to take a screenshot of each application Put them in right spots and made the wallpaper transparent So I just have to take that image and overlay it on top of the wallpaper That means we lose transparency because I cannot start blurring just like plasmadas But I think it's a good trade-off for the login and lock screen wallpapers I manually blur them and then I draw on top the UI of the login and lock screen Which is actually the same because I'm lazy. Also those UIS are not the actual UIS But I mock up of them I made in Inkscape, which I hope is pretty realistic So yes, those are fake previews. So don't tell anybody or I get in trouble And when you're we've done that we can then commit everything so minus a commit and then we can let the developer get pushed to master So it really seems really easy when you look all through it But it took some time and hopefully it will save a lot of work hours from now on So yeah, that's what I'm doing with Katie. Bye This is the outro a couple of announcements one height two thousand subscribers, and I'm very happy. So that's good Also, I've received one comment two videos ago, but my hair and beard actually it was just about the beard, I think but I'm going to cut my hair like next week and I'll also tint it yellow So you'll see me differently. Bye You


Okay, today we're going to be working in bash. We're going to reverse or change the case of characters in a string. So let's go ahead and create a variable. I'll call it name and I'll put my name in there, Chris, okay? And now I can echo out dollar sign name and it says my name. I can also put it in these braces here and it echoes it out the same. But inside those braces, if I was to give it two carrot symbols after that, it will capitalize the entire string. If I was to give it commas, it would lowercase the entire string. And if I was to give it two little till days here, it will invert the case. So it's the K that was capitalized became lowercase and all the lowercase layers became capital. Now I do want to say that this is for bash and bash only it's built in. So for example, if I was to look at this, which is Z shell, you can see that we get bad substitution. It does not recognize that. I also tested it in busybox, busybox, same thing. The busybox shell does not like these substitutions. So be aware of that. So it's nice that this is built in, but it's not going to be able to run. If you run this in a script and a system that doesn't have bash and maybe uses busybox, it's not going to work. In that case, you might want to do something like with TR. So I could go echo my name. And if I pipe that into TR and I say A dash Z and then capital A dash Z, that will convert everything to uppercase and I can always reverse that. Now the drawback of this is that you are using an external tool, but it is a common external tool. So again, on lightweight systems that run busybox, if I was to run busybox here to list out all the commands, we should see that TR should be right there. It is built into TR. So it all depends on whether you want to stick built in. Some people are bash purists. They want to do this, which I think is great, but then a lot of lightweight systems, you can always put bash on there, but usually you'll have busybox or some other shell where you might have to pipe it into another tool or at least need to pipe into another tool to be cross-compatible. So why would you want to do this? There's a number of reasons, but one would be comparing strings. Let's go ahead and create a script. So I'm just going to call this name.sh and I'm going to use Vim as my text editor, but you use whatever text editor you like. I'm going to give the shebang line saying that this is a bash script, and I'm going to create a variable called name, and again, I'm going to put my name in there. And then I'm going to get user input. So I'm going to do read P, I'm going to say, please enter your name, and I'm going to put that into a variable called R for response. So now I can go like this. I can say dollar sign R. Does dollar sign R equal dollar sign name? And then we're going to say, if that's true, then echo hello, and if it's false, echo bye. Let's put that in parentheses just to be proper about it. And again, this is shorthand for if, then statement, but let's go ahead and change that so it's executable. And if I typed everything properly, it will ask me to enter my name. And if I type in Chris, it should say hello, but if I was to say Bob, it's going to say bye. And if I was to say Chris all lowercase, it's going to say bye because it doesn't match. So what we could do inside this script, we can come here and we can do like so. We can say, OK, brace expansions, and we can make it all capital or lowercase. It doesn't matter as long as we do the same over here. So now you just made your script case and set it. So I can say Chris with the capital K, but I can also say Chris with lowercase or I can say Chris with the capital K and the capital S. But if I was to again type in Bob, it's going to say bye. So that would be one case scenario where you want to use it when you're going to compare strings, you want to make sure that the cases match. And this is not the only way to do this, but it's a quick and easy way to do it in a bash script is just convert the cases all to either upcase or lowcase and then compare. I hope you found this useful. Please visit filmsbychris.com. That's Chris the K. There's a link in the description to my website. And I hope that you have a great day.


Live from San Francisco, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE, covering Oracle OpenWorld 2015. Brought to you by Oracle. Now your host, John Furrier. Okay, welcome back everyone.  This is the special CUBE presentation, our flagship program where we go out to the events and extract the signal noise. I'm John Furrier, exclusive coverage of Oracle OpenWorld, Karen Sigmund, VP of Platform Business Group of Oracle, and Mike Rivett, associate partner and global head of engineering at CSC. Great to have you on theCUBE. Welcome to theCUBE. Thanks. Great to have you, Karen. Good to see you.  Now on the big stage. But you've been a real big supporter of theCUBE. Appreciate that. Thank you very much. But you guys have some big news today. Exit your power program. I want to talk about that immediately because that's going to be a real competitive strike, certainly against IBM, right? So talk about the program. What it really is, is we've been, as you probably know, we've converted a lot of customers over the last couple of years from other systems to our Exadata platform. And as part of that, thousands of these migrations, we've had a lot of them where IBM Power. And what we decided to do is that put together kind of the best practices. We had such great results. These customers had such great results with the Exit program. Or when we converted them, then we went ahead and created an actual program. And so what we're doing is now is we're offering a free proof of concept database migration for anybody that wants to move from their IBM Power 7 over to an Exadata platform. What's the role of Intel in this? I know Intel is involved. Can you share what's with Intel? Well, we work with them on, we've been good partners with Intel for years. And we work on a lot of programs together. But this one in particular, we're just jointly funding these database migrations for our clients. And why would a customer move? Give it the reasons why. Why would they move over?  All right, we already have a number of examples of that. But we're also hearing a lot of customers voice some concerns, frankly, about what's happening with IBM and their divestiture of their hardware business. I mean, between the X86 server business to the chip business to, you know, to some of their own points in their own earnings reports about their strategic plan around hardware. And what specific customer examples can you share? One I would say would be Polte Group. It's one that Mark showed yesterday up on the stage. And it was kind of a really cool example because what they did is they, their financial, their financial systems improved over 15X by doing that. On top of that, they reduced their batch window by, I'm not their batch window, they reduced their monthly close by 33%. So they were able to actually increase the amount of, shorten their time to close by 33%. And they reduced their cost by 40%. So it was a really good result. Mike, your practice at CFC is to migrate folks over. Can you talk about that in some specific examples? Yeah, we've got a number of customers now that we've moved over onto engineer systems and we migrate them across the globe. I can't go into any specific customer details. I'll give you anecdotal evidence. I mean, we've moved them across very rapidly. There's one going on in the U.S. at the moment where it started in around September time. It's due to finish just after Christmas. We got stuck in the Christmas freeze period. Otherwise, we'd have done it in about three months. So these are migrations that we're doing repeatedly. It's fast. Yeah, absolutely, yes. And compared to the old, we just had Deloitte on there like, oh my God, this is 24 months plus in the old days. Yeah. 10 years ago, five years ago. Now, you're talking about months, three months. We're talking about months. We try and do all of the months inside 12 months. 12 months is a long migration for us. Most of them are six months, 69 months for big ones, three to six months for the smaller ones. But we're able to prove these migrations in, I mean, days and sometimes even a week or two. So talk about the major performance and operational advantages from the customers. I mean, what are they seeing? We see significant advantages for our customers. You see much shorter batch times, much shorter backup windows and restore windows when you need them, need to do them. Database cloning significantly improves. And that leads to the whole improvement around DevOps with great development and testing environments much, much faster through the capabilities of the platform. And then you see secondary benefits. The end users are now using a platform that is much more performance. And what we see is that people start to do things, especially in the analytics space, they'll start to do queries that they didn't previously consider was possible. In fact, they weren't possible, but the benefits that the system brings allows them to be more creative in the types of analysis that they do and therefore more productive and allow organizations to move into new markets and try new things. Karen, take me through the life of a POC, an example, because that's a real world example. So taking through the mindset, how it gets going, is it tire kicking, is it more poking, is it more serious, let's get this going. Take us through a couple of different use cases and examples. Well, it depends on the customer, but let's just say a typical situation would be, they'd call us, they'd say, hey, we're interested. Our sales rep would go out and say, does this make sense? They'd evaluate the workload and say, does it make sense to be on an engineered system? We needed to do that analysis. Then we'd plan it out. What's the right timing for the customer to do it? We'd pick a database that would make sense for us to do a sample migration, and then we'd either do it on their premises. We'd bring in an exit data and do it there, or we'd do it in one of our solution centers. We have a number of solution centers where the customer can bring the data to, and we'll do the data migration there. Or one of our partners, like CSE, would actually go out and do that migration for the customer in their location or on the customer's prem. So then we'd do that very shortly, and then at the end of that, we'd do a report for the customer that says, look, you've gotten these kind of results exactly out of this database. It's already migrated. And we give them a full plan that says this is what it's going to take for you to migrate the rest. So they walk away with a road map. So who qualifies? I mean, is it...  And how does the customer know when it's a good time? Well, I think it's a couple of things. One, they have to start... Are they having issues? Are they looking to do an upgrade? Are they sitting on a Power 7 and trying to make a decision about what they're going to do next? Are they starting to have issues where they got to do a capacity increase in the environment they've got? I mean, what... There could be any number of a compelling events that would drive a customer to make the size of the time to change. So essentially, I was at a Cube coverage of IBM's event when they announced Power 8 and O-Power and all these other things. It was also the same time they got out of the X86 business with Intel. Yeah. So I kind of find it ironic that this is kind of like coming together like this. So is that part of it? I mean, is this more of an alternative to Oracle with Cisco? I mean, Intel involved?  No, Intel's very involved. The more you guys tap them to come in. No, Intel's very involved. I mean, if you watch the Intel Keynote here at Open World, you see a lot of customers have a direct relationship with Intel and they talk to their customers all the time. But no, this is really being driven more through the Oracle relationship with our customers. We're driving it. Intel is supporting us in the background and we're out driving it together with the customers. What's the biggest thing you've learned with this program? What thing jumps out at you that hits you right hard and says, okay, wow, this is working. Give us some examples. Well, I guess how quickly the results are, the fact that we have a backlog of customers already and we haven't even launched the official program. And we literally... That's a good problem to have. Yeah, it's not bad. How about the deployment side? You guys are partnering as well. I mean, you have customers.  Engineered systems are pretty in demand. I mean, could you share some insight into, you know, to level of customer involvement with engineered systems, specifically this program and just in general, this notion of engineered systems is really hot right now. Engineered systems is a concept that certainly gather momentum. And to be honest, I talk more about the vertical integrated system because that's a concept that everyone's really familiar with. It's something that everyone's talking about. It's the move from the build yourself to the pre-built. And there's some really good reasons for doing that. It's organizations want to focus on the business that they do. They don't want to be S.I. shops.   But the Oracle one adds the engineering changes as well. So you get all the engineering enhancements as well. And that allows us to be much denser in our consolidation. So when we move databases onto an engineered system, the core count reduces significantly. The floor space count. So the environmental savings are enormous. And so there's any number of reasons why organizations are really keen to move onto these platforms. It's interesting we've been doing the Cube. It's our sixth Oracle open world. As you know, Karen, we do a lot of different events. Four or five years ago, when Dave and I were talking about purpose-built boxes, people were poo-pooing this whole engineered systems thing. You remember those days? It's like, oh, are you kidding me? That was going to buy a box of Oracle. It's going to be vertically integrated. But if you look at that, I mean, they were wrong on that. We would say, hey, you know what? And our argument on the Cube was, as Paul Moritz would say, he was at VMware at the time, was the world's shifting. And then where's the hard and top? No one really cares. If it was, it works in this choice. So versus the lock-in, which is everyone was like, oh, lock-in. No one wants to know. But it turns out customers actually want a engineered system because they just want power functionality, but yet they want the openness. You guys see that dynamic? Yeah, I was going to say, I was just going to say, I think the one thing we see repeatedly is that so many customers have done, do it yourself, build your own projects. And they've taken longer than they expected. They're out of budget. They don't need the business requirements. They don't need the SLAs. You know, with the engineered systems, it's really, it's a product. It's not a project. Yeah. But that's the difference. You plug it in right away and get value out of it. That's right. Well, and also the pressure from the customer, I'd like to get your thoughts on this, is that they're also building out in other areas. So they don't really want to waste time doing stuff that's already been done. Yeah, and the market seems to be the issue. Well, the marketplace is changing so much over the last few years. And in fact, in the last 12 months, we're seeing fantastic acceleration in things getting to market. Organizations can no longer, no longer have the luxury to spend months building their own environments. They need to put something on the ground, turn it on and have it available tomorrow. And it's the engineered systems that are allowing them to do that. We were talking with Emmitt earlier, Lavery, who's the senior vice president of the cloud and love having the product guys on because it's fun to get to dive deep into the weeds. And Brian Grace, the wikibond.com, was saying, hey, you know, there's always conflict between agility and security. And that's always been at odds with each other because, hey, let's go fast. Let's break stuff. Well, you don't break stuff. It's, you know, security. But now with the engineered systems, some of the things around this end-to-end stuff, it brings a whole other dimension. Oh, yeah. So can you comment on what you've learned and with this program and some of the customers you talked to around offering agility at the same time not breaking things? Well, I think that's, I think a couple of things. One is when you look at our Exadata platform, if a customer does take advantage of this program and migrate off of Power 7 over to an Exadata platform as an example, they have the option now to run that in the cloud. They have the option to run it on-prem. They can use one single pane of glass to manage both environments. So it's not just migrating it from one platform to another. It's migrating it from a platform to something that's going to have life across both the cloud and on-premises. How about CSC? What do you guys see in this cloud? Because obviously you guys have evolved and this digital transformation is happening. Yeah, yeah. Just thought, signing totally on what the customer's mindset is right now. What is the current state of the customer? The current state of the customer. I've been presenting a few events around here this week and we're seeing a significant shift in the customers wanting to move towards digital or to cloud, in fact. And what you find is, and as was said earlier on today in the keynote, was not everything's going to go to cloud. Something's going to stay on-prem. So the challenge is, how do we span the two? Although Mark Hurts said 100% of test and devs is going to be in the cloud. That was test and dev, yeah. 20, 25. 20, 25. Yeah, and 20% was going to stay on-prem for production as well. So you've always got to do that, stitching the two environments together. I would agree. Now, one of the things that's really important here, and it's something that we've been working very closely with Oracle on, is how to bridge this hybrid. Because when you move to cloud, developing on a platform that's the same as what you're doing on-prem is really, really important. And some of the initiatives that have been announced this week are around the engineer systems available as platformers and servers in the cloud. So this single plan of glass that allows us to move workload seamlessly between public and private cloud is really important to us. Hybrid, that's where the hybrid actually happens. That's what the hybrid is. Yesterday we coined the term, engineered clouds. If Oracle, you want to use that, feel free to contact my copyright attorney. We'll get the slicing fee in place. But no, that's what hybrid is. Hybrid is not a product. Can I use that? Yeah. Talk to my lawyer. No, seriously, engineered systems really take us into the engineered cloud, right? Hybrid is an engine. There's no SKU. There's no hybrid product. It's an outcome of on-prem or private to public. Absolutely. And that in between. That's what Larry's basically putting out there. You would agree with that? Absolutely. And none of that we're seeing customers doing it. There's a major customer in the UK we're just doing some work with. And it started as a wholly and solely private cloud conversation. And this is Christmas time. And it's already moved into a, how can we accelerate the adoption of SAS? And the way we're doing it is by being able to stitch the public and the private cloud together and using a common platform and a common framework. So we're seeing a massive acceleration. And what's the motivation? Sean Price is on earlier. Great interview. New guy here on the blog here at Oracle. Talk about the pressure. It's really coming from the OPEX-CAPEX equation. Is that a primary motivation? The primary or one of them? It's primary motivation. And it was in the keynote earlier on today. Budgets are dropping dramatically. And it was going to do more. And so it's a move from CAPEX to OPEX. Do more with less. Do more with less. It's been my chief for like two decades. But cloud lets you do it. While I was talking about it on the presentation today that I was doing, it's utility computing. It's about metered servicing. So you pay for the database consumption at the point of use. You don't buy the asset up front and then run it down. You just pay for the service as and when you need it. Karen, you're an industry vet. We always have these conversations. What do you think about this whole engineered purpose-built box solution now that's been validated in the era of open source? You have the combination of open source, which is horizontally scalable. That's commodity hardware. Vertically integrated solutions. They're not usually exclusive in the cloud world and on-prem world. You know, I mean, open, first off, we support open stack and we open a number of open standards, industry standards on all of our solutions. There's no question about that. I mean, look at what we've just announced with art. We have a Linux new open stack that we've just launched and we have Solaris on the M7. We just launched with a tremendous amount of open capability. But if you look at where the industry has moved from and where it's going to, we've had this issue where they've had we've gone from these purpose-built solutions to best of breed technologies. Now we're going back to purpose-built. The difference is in this iteration is the purpose-built has to work with the cloud and on-prem. That's number one. And open standards. And open standards. And it has to be able to, you have to be able to unplug. So one of the values of the way we've built our engineered systems is that while you get benefit from the full stack and the integration of everything in between, you still go running on something else if you choose. It's not like we're not locking you in. It's a huge advantage for customers. It's also giving some more horsepower to the whole analytics business. That's right. Which is really booming. And this actually rises the tide, if you will, for analytics. Yeah. As an example, our big data appliance runs on-prem or in the cloud exactly the same solution. Same opportunity. It's interesting. Dave Vellante and I were commenting at a Hadoop summit last year and recently at Strata Hadoop at Hadoop World that you're finally seeing the cloud come into maturity from a client perspective, it's kind of helped lift up the analytics market. It's been kind of a lull for about two years in the Hadoop ecosystem, certainly in analytics as the data warehouse market's shifting because analytics needs power, right? And now with security and more cores and more everything else with M7 and whatnot and super clusters, you got all that. So I got to ask you, Mike, because you're in the trenches.   We're all like geek buffs. We like to look under the hood of the cars if you will, the engines of the systems. What is getting you excited right now if you open the hood, you know, the stuff that gets strapped away from the customer? What's exciting you on the hood? That's a really good question. The rate of advancement is astonishing. There are things we can do today that we can only dream about yesterday. The chip design advances, the stuff they're putting down onto the silicon, the fact that the network advances, I mean, I was watching the Intel one about the memory advances. I mean, it's just a fascinating advance to be able to do that level of density. That's going to transform the industry again. And what is it, only 18 months away before that becomes actually available? I mean, if you think about it, back in the old days and we were growing up when you were writing, when I was writing code, you had the right software to account for the lack of memory and you used disk, which was abundant. Now it's the other way around. You have more memory and less disk. You have more memory. So it's a software paradigm shift on how to write code, right? I used to do bit stacking because you couldn't afford the use of an int to do a flag. So you used a bit offset to do your flags. So yeah, I'm showing my age a bit there. We all know 64K, man. That was like making it all work. Memory is just so abundant now.  So disk is so old hap. My friend worked on the original Apple stuff. He's like, we would fight over bytes and Ks just in the OS. But now we're talking about a lot in memory. What does that mean? Share some color because a lot of you who aren't in the know inside the ropes, if you will. What is that going to open up from an innovation standpoint? All the in-memory innovations. By with the software on silicon. So what we're really seeing and what customers are getting really excited about is we're calling it data enrichment. You might think of it as a big data 2.0 if you like. But what we now have the ability to do is to move massive amounts of data into a single data source in memory and do data joins that were previously impossible to do. We can do analytics on data in memory that were previously just because of network bandwidths and various other limitations were impossible to do those weeks. We can do in seconds what we used to do in weeks. We had a pre-throwback Thursday conversation with John Fowler about mainframes. And the thing that we were talking about is now it's not just single-threaded apps. It's multi-thread over hundreds of cores in memory. It's pretty mind-blowing. It's absolutely mind-blowing. If you look at what we're doing with Exadata, for instance, and the thing that's really unique about it is the fact that we've got the database, engineers also designing the hardware. So when you think about the in-memory conversation you're talking about, it's the whole idea that we can take our Exadata platform based on Intel and actually integrate those two things together and build a platform for the clients. As we end this segment, Karen, I want you to share some of your personal insight around how powerful and how solid the momentum and traction is with Exadata. I mean, it doesn't get a lot of fanfare.  It's been kind of ridiculous. There's thousands of customers, all of the top financial institutions, you name the industry, and they're running Exadata. I don't have the exact numbers, but I think it's 70% of all the major platforms out there run Oracle Database. A lot of those customers are migrating over to Exadata because they get the benefit of running that database. They're also re-architecting around Exadata. It's like a sports team. You build around your best player, right?  I've heard some medieval things that they were doing. Exadata, some of these banks in New York, like, what, Fiber Channel? Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't tell anyone. I'm like, okay. You look at the sum of the numbers. Exadata by itself brings huge benefits to our customers, but when you combine Exadata with the other purpose built systems, customers see huge benefits.

Hello everyone, my name is Scott Perry and I'm your host today. And this is Let's Talk Hawaii, live from Honolulu, Hawaii. This is a program about English pronunciation, communication, and interesting things, and people in Hawaii. You can see me here every other Tuesday at 3 p.m. that would be 10 a.m. in Japan. You can also find me at scottperryacademy.com. Today's topic is getting around in Hawaii. Today's topic is how to move around in Hawaii. If you remember last week, I told you about the number of Japanese tourists that come to Hawaii. Last week, I told you about the number of Japanese tourists that come to Hawaii. The answer was surprising to many people. 5,500 people on average arrive every day in Hawaii. That's a lot of Japanese tourists. 5,500 people arrive every day in a week, so about 40,000 Japanese people are in Hawaii at any time during the week. That's a lot of Japanese tourists. So the question is, what do they do when they get here? Japanese people are very efficient tourists. Many times, they will plan their entire tour exactly like they're going to do, and they execute that plan very well. Before they get here, they've researched where they want to go, what they want to do. There's not a lot of room or variation. Everything is planned out, but a lot of times, they're planning on visiting interesting locations, restaurants, and Instagram spots. One of the ways they're going around is with buses and cars, taxis. That's okay, but I heard there's a new way to get around in Hawaii. There's a new eco-friendly method to get around in Hawaii. And today, I have with me a special guest. His name is Ryan Jackson, and he's the owner of a special tour company that has an eco-friendly plan. I don't even know how to explain it, but I will let him explain it. So right now, I'd like to introduce Ryan Jackson. Hi, Ryan. Hey, Scott. How are you doing? I'm doing good. Excellent. Thanks for coming on the show. No. Thank you for inviting me. Yeah. So 5,500 Japanese people come here every day. That's correct. And they're coming here to see many things. What do they like to see? Well, Japanese, they like to see many different things. So I think a large part of Japanese culture in general is food. So there are a lot of different interesting places to enjoy local cuisine here in Hawaii. So whether it be in Waikiki or even outside of Waikiki, there are a lot of interesting eateries that many Japanese people find. So food is popular in Hawaii and they're looking for delicious food. What else do they do? Of course, shopping is very popular. That's probably one of the biggest reasons that people come to Waikiki. But there are a lot of outdoor activities that people can enjoy also. So there's a lot of hiking, snorkeling, water sports. There's interesting places like Kakaako, which Kakaako is getting is very famous for. Becoming more popular. What is Kakaako known for? Kakaako is actually known for its wall art. So every year in February, there is a festival called Pow Wow and many popular artists like graffiti artists, tattooers, street artists, mainly. They come from around the world and for one week, they paint different murals and wall art in Kakaako. Kakaako is a place that is right next to Waikiki. In the industrial-looking area, there were a lot of factories. Every year artists and artists come and they paint on the walls. And they make very interesting pictures that many Japanese come and take pictures with. I've seen that. I drove past. Very interesting art on the wall. And do you take people to that location? Yes. So we do actually take people to Kakaako. So my company, Irby Hawaii, we use small foldable electric vehicles. It's very similar to riding a bicycle but it's a little bit different because it's 100% electric. It's eco-friendly and you don't have to pedal, which is nice because you know why it gets very very hot. So there's a lot of, so you say electric bicycle? Similar to a bicycle, but it actually does not have pedals. So you don't have to pedal. It's similar to riding like a scooter or a moped actually. Interesting. So I think we have a video that can better explain what this Irby is. Can we see that video? It's an Irby. That's interesting. I saw you in the video too, Ryan. That was you with one of your tourists? Yeah, that was one of the tours. That was a private ride actually. But actually one of the unique things about Irby rides is that they are all private. So it's really good for couples or families or honeymooners because it just gets a little bit more of an intimate personal experience. I see. So private tours, you organize the tours. When did you create this company? We started Irby Hawaii about two years ago actually. So the original Irby company is from Los Angeles, California. I'm actually from Los Angeles. And about two years ago I had the idea that the Irby as a vehicle might work out really well in Hawaii. So Irby started in California in Pasadena, you said? Yes, it started in Pasadena, which is in Los Angeles, California. And then I thought originally it was designed as a last mile solution. So for example, it's very good. What's the last mile solution? In terms of transportation, more specifically urban transportation, the last mile is a very difficult problem for many people to solve. So basically making a type of vehicle that is compatible with public transportation. So for example, if I live one mile away from the closest train station, what is the most efficient way for me to get from my home to the train station? Take the train to, for example, downtown. And then from the train station in downtown, how do I get to the last mile, which could be a business meeting or it could be my office? What is the most efficient way to fix or to make that last mile not so troublesome? That means the last mile solution is 2.2 km. Well, it's a lot of traffic and it gets busy, so parking issues. I could drive half my car, lower price, put the Erby on my trunk and drive to office. Exactly. So they fold it up and how big is it? Once it's folded up, it's actually very small. You can keep it in the corner of your office or you keep it in the corner of your apartment. It does not take up a lot of space and then you just plug it into a regular wall outlet and then it takes four hours to charge the battery. And then you can get approximately, I would say, around 20 miles per charge. How many kilos is that? It's around 32 kilos. 32 kilos. That means the size is small and the fold-up doesn't smell, because it's electric. There's no smell. There's no smell, no gasoline, or anything like that. No oil, nothing. No oil, it's... There's no oil or anything, so there's no smell, so you put it in the office and it doesn't get in the way. How long does it take to charge? It takes about four hours to charge. You can charge up between four hours. And then you can charge up to 32 kilos. That's very convenient. So another question. Are they for sale or do you just do the tours? Right now, our main focus is the tours, but we are looking into doing more sales. There has been a large interest from the local community that is looking for this type of vehicle to solve their transportation needs. Coming from Los Angeles, I thought the traffic was really, really bad. When I came to Honolulu, I was shocked at how... It's a small island, but there are some significant transportation issues. Challenges. I think with the introduction of the train system coming, I think there's going to be more of a need for these last-mile solutions. Last-mile solution equal to this. Going to one point to Jojo. Last-mile solution. Getting the last mile. No taxi, no Uber, just ride your scooter and you're there. So I've seen other tours in Hawaii. I've seen a long line of people. Those are the one-wheel segue. Is that a segue? Yeah, the two tandem wheels. Yeah, those are the segues. So what's the difference between a segue and an Herbie? I'd say the main difference is probably where you ride them segues. Legally, they stay on the sidewalk. Whereas in Herbies, legally it's classified as an electric bicycle. So we stay in the bike lanes and then the bike paths also. I don't know. So Herbie and the segues, the segues have two big wheels that move like this. The segues are also on the sidewalk. Herbie is like an electric bicycle. And has to ride on the bike lanes. So that is one of the big differences. And because we ride in the bike lanes, we have a little bit more freedom in terms of where we go. So most of our tours, all of our tours start out of Waikiki and then we have three main courses. So the main courses are going to be... Let me get back to that main course that sounds very interesting. We're going to take a very short break and we will be right back right after this. Hi, I'm Rusty Kamori, host of Beyond the Lines. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. This show is based on my book which is also titled Beyond the Lines and it's about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, achieving and sustaining success, and finding greatness. If you're a student, parent, sports or business person and want to improve your life and the lives of people around you, tune in and join me on Mondays at 11 a.m. as we go Beyond the Lines on Think Back Hawaii. Aloha. Hi guys, I'm your host Lillian Cumick from Lillian's Vegan World. I come to you live every second Friday from 3 p.m. and this is the show where I talk about the plant-based lifestyle and veganism. So we go through recipes, some upcoming events, information about health, regarding your health and just some ideas on how you can have a better lifestyle, eat healthier and have fun at the same time. So do join me. I look forward to seeing you and Aloha. Hello again, I'm Scott Perry, your host of Let's Talk Hawaii and I'm here with Ryan Jackson of Herbie Tours. He's the owner of Herbie Tours and he's been explaining to me how to get around in Hawaii a very interesting and eco-friendly way to travel. I was asking about the difference between your Herbie and the Segway which I've tried the Segway, which was interesting but I think they don't seem to go where yours go. The rides or the courses are a little bit different. So actually we get a lot of repeaters to Hawaii and we have a lot of customers that are here for the first time but have also been to Hawaii many times. So we have people that do the Segway and the Herbie. It's kind of nice to have that mix because even though the routes might be a little bit similar the experience is going to be different also. So in terms of, I'd say the main differences are going to be one that we are private, all of our groups are private but our courses are going to be a little bit more different also. So who are some of the people that come to Hawaii with you? Who are some of the people on your tour? Who comes here? So in terms of, we're talking about people that our audience may have known so we've been fortunate enough to do some rides and TV shows with some Japanese talents. So for example, Maizono-san, the soccer player. So we were on a TV show called Hawaii Nikoishite. So we also had on that show, it was Nishikawa-san from TM Revolution. Tabi Sarada. Tabi Sarada. And that was with Aoki Ai-san. What's Sarada? Chicken Sarada. Tabi Sarada. So yeah, Aoki Ai-san. She was an Olympic secret nice swimmer. Swimmer, Aoki Ai. And then also Himura-san. The comedian. He wears the Kimono. Himura. Himura-san. Also, one more High Hill Momoko. High Hill Momoko. Yes, she was. Who is High Hill Momoko? She is from Osaka and she's very great big, big personality. She was a lot of fun. High Hill Momoko. So if you come to Hawaii and you jump on an Irby tour, you might be able to see one of these people again. I'm not going to make that promise. So I have some pictures of some of your tours. Can I ask you to explain some of these photos from here? Sure, sure, sure. Great. So I see two people here. What's going on? Is this a regular couple tour? Yeah, this was a couples tour. So great, great couple from New York. So we did the Diamond Head ride and hike. That's where this picture was taken from. We have a standard Diamond Head course, but the hike is optional. So for those that want to hike to the top of Diamond Head, that is one of the options of Art Tour, which also makes it unique. Okay, another slide. That looks like a... Where is that? That is actually on the way into the inside of Diamond Head Crater. Diamond Head Crater. Yes. There is a shot overlooking Kahala, Hawaii, you can see Hanuma Bay in the background. Hanuma Bay and Tokohed. Okay, good. So you can see our riders, the minimum age is 15, but we have riders that go all the way past 70. Wow. So it really just depends on... 15 to 71 riders. It really just depends on the riders' ability in terms of whether they can participate on the tour. Next slide, please. Okay, we've got two Genki tourists. Yes, I believe that is a honeymoon couple. So this is one of the most famous art pieces in Kakaako. It's called Monster Party by Kevin Lyons. Really, really popular. Monster Party. Monster Party.  It's a lot of fun. The colors are amazing. Just makes great Instagram material also. Good, good. Next, we have another slide coming up. Wow, one, two, three, four, five. How many people can go on a tour? We like to cap the maximum at seven people. That's the most that we feel comfortable and that's the safest amount. So when we do our groups, it's not going to be a huge long line. It's going to be... Seven is the max. Seven is the maximum. If the party is more than seven, it's two tours. Two tours, yeah, we split it up. These are nice guys here? Yeah, I believe that's a company outing right there. So we actually... It's a group. So yeah, actually we've been getting more reservations from companies and corporations that want to do some team building or have a unique experience for their team members or department. Great. And one more slide. Is that the honeymoon couple? That is a different honeymoon couple. That's actually at Magic Island, which is... It's interesting because Magic Island is... It's really beautiful, but it's a little bit far from Waikiki. So getting there... It's a little bit too far to walk. Parking isn't great.  Typical Hawaiian day and very happy-looking customer. So how much does a typical tour cost? The tours, you know, they range in price, you know, depending on the course, but I would say the average tour is around $135 to $150. Okay. So depending on the course. $12,000 to $15,000. There are several hours. Yeah, so depending, you know, we have a shorter tour that, you know, it's around two hours, but the longer tours, and especially if you add in the hike, it can get up to four or four and a half, five hours or so. You know, we do two tours per day. So one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and we don't like to rush our tours also. So we do it over book. Relaxed time. The tour is $7,000 to $15,000 to $13,000. In the morning and in the afternoon. And then... If the tour is lunch or hiking, it'll be extra time for that, right? Exactly. So it's not just riding the Yerbe.  So now the most important question. Yes. I have lots of Japanese viewers and students who often come to Japan. Okay. If someone wants to try an Erby tour with me or you and whoever, can you discount them? Discount? Okay, we're talking about the money. Yeah, discount.

Now, I noticed that there were a lot of, there's many people, but most of them were Japanese. Who's your largest audience? We get people from all around the world doing our rides or tours, but I would say most of them are actually Japanese customers. So on our rides, we have Japanese-speaking tour guides to make everybody feel more comfortable. And tour guides are Japanese. In Japan, do you advertise in Japan? In Japan, do you advertise in Japan? Do you advertise in Japan? Do you advertise in Japan? Do you advertise in Japan? Do you advertise in Japan also? We do some, most of our advertising is actually done online. We get a lot of, through word of mouth, that's, you know, we have, we get a lot of referrals that way. And then you can find us in different travel companies that are selling our rides as optional tours. Great. Now, so many Japanese coming, and you are speaking to them in English, Japanese? It's a little bit of both. It's a little bit of both. You know, sometimes I get people that, they want to practice their English, or they want to speak English. So, you know, I'll do most of the tour in English, but for other people that maybe don't want to speak English, or Japanese, you know, Japanese only. So it really depends on the situation. So the Japanese who are coming, who want to speak English, what is their biggest challenge? Their biggest challenge, one of their bigger challenges is sometimes they can, you know, say and speak certain things, but maybe they don't speak loud enough, or maybe their pronunciation may not be clear enough. So maybe they get asked to repeat things many times or sometimes. Maybe once they start repeating things, the confidence level goes down, down, down, and they just maybe might give up. I completely, I'm just 100% able to understand it. Well, everyone is here, I'm fine, but I want to do a lot of things, but maybe my voice is too small, or the pronunciation is not good enough, and excuse me, part of me, what did you say? If I put it in, my confidence will go down. So people are losing confidence. So I've got a solution for that. There's a solution. You can improve your pronunciation, and I can tell you more about that, but how do they solve this problem? They just struggle, or what do they do? Sometimes, they do struggle. I think Waikiki is unique in that you have a lot of people in Waikiki that can speak a little basic level Japanese. Got it. But outside of Waikiki it becomes more important to be able to raise your English level so you can have more experiences outside of Waikiki. Okay. Well, that was a lot. So thank you, Ryan, of Erby Tours, and I'm Scott Perry, your host of Let's Talk Hawaii. And that was How to Get Around in Hawaii. Looking forward to seeing you in two weeks. Have a great day.
