scale tracks. So my name is Ryan. I'm based off of Malaysia. So it's absolutely good to be back here in Singapore as well as in South Asia. So my last South Asia session was in Bangkok like three or four years ago. So it's good to see something in their faces. Okay, so I'm going to talk about the predictions, but just a quick, you know, you know, quick overview of Moscow. You probably have seen this in a keynote in my colleague presentation. My SKL has been around for 27 years now. It's a very solid transactional database. And because of all this user, Moscow has gotten, I mean, it's been, you know, really solid and stable. And from the Moscow team, we have just added, you know, a great innovation into Moscow, native, built for the cloud, heat wave database engine. So this is what I'm going to talk about today, the cloud based Moscow heat wave engine. And not forgetting, you know, lots of open source application supporting Moscow that make it really, really popular. Okay, so Moscow heat wave, it's one of the greatest innovation from the Oracle Research Lab that we have added a special plug-in to the InnoDB engine. Bear in mind that this is a cloud only database, managed database in the Oracle cloud, as well as in AWS. And if you're running Azure, you can also take advantage of heat wave using the fast speed interconnect from Azure to Oracle cloud. So essentially, heat wave is a special plug-in to the InnoDB engine. As you know, InnoDB is very, very good in transactional workload. It's really stable. Customers have been telling us that, you know, the replication is rock solid. The replication, you can really do massive hyperscale application. And for that, there's something we still want to improve, especially on the old lab workload, which traditionally doesn't really work really well in InnoDB because of, you know, the role-based, you know, RDB and mass design. So what we have done is we have designed this InnoDB heat wave engine to be able to help you to automatically convert the role-based into hybrid columnar format and then making use of the elasticity of the cloud to height the scale, the database engine for you. So this is introduced in Oracle cloud in 2020. Today, we can scale up to 64 nodes, which means that you can create a heat wave clusters with 64 nodes in the cloud and it's capable of, you know, building a data warehouse of 60 terabytes. So you can move 60 terabytes of the data into the cloud. So essentially, when you have your transactional data product, sales information sits in the InnoDB, you can push this data automatically to the heat wave cluster and data will be split and shattered, distributed into the heat wave cluster. Okay, so in the columnar format, and when you run your end of the query, it will be automatically pushed down to the heat wave clusters and the data is stored in the memory. So you get distributed processing as well as the in-memory processing to give you the power. Okay, so you can take advantage of the multiple nodes in the cloud.  So that gives us a lot of flexibility in adding new features and functions into the heat wave cluster. Okay, so for the interest of today's topic, I'll talk about machine learning. Yeah, so machine learning is not something new, right? So every day we've been using the apps, Facebook, Brad or Uber. So you can see that all these apps really make our lives easy. For example, go to Facebook, you see the news feed from your favorite friends. Things that are important to you pops up in your news feed. And that's all because of the machine learning model. In the McCurry talk yesterday, they talked about how they use the machine learning to do, learn to ranking is to move those content that's matter to the user to the top. So that's essentially what people are doing today, right? Using machine learning to help build an intelligent system. Booking.com, right? So recommendation system so that people can quickly book a package on Booking.com. So they want to turn clicks into sales by having this recommendation system. Also Uber Eats to be able to send you notification the right one at the right time at the right user to the right user. So all these are done using machine learning. And if you are in a different industry, there are many different cases, banking, the fraud, retail, telco, and other industries, you know, I'm just going to fly by this. So just last week coming to here, I received this SMS. I'm sure you receive all this SMS as well, right? So this is obviously a spam, right? So it, can you see? So say thank you for your payment for Tommy for, you know, this 2000 ring it. And very quickly, by looking at this, you know, this is a spam, right? It's a personal mobile number, right? And the language is not, you know, properly structured and the contact number is really not really a contact, the bank official contact number. So this can be a good use case for telco. So every day, you know, we see all this and machine learning is going to help us. But it's not that easy to implement machine learning because it takes a highly skilled person to do it, right? Data scientists, you need a person that's really good with Perl Python, really good with machine learning algorithms, be able to, you know, get the right data, structure the data in a way that are good for learning. So these are the four machine learning pipelines that is common to all the machine learning tasks. And in order to get a tune model, you really need to do an iterative way to get the model right. And that's not very productive, especially, you know, if you have many, you have lots of data and you need to come up with a model in good time. So that's, okay, I have a quick demo here. So this is to show you how a typical machine learning process look like. So you're going to have data in the data frames and then you would build a model, right? And then here you need to choose a model, right? The right algorithm for the data set so that it makes sense to come up with the model that you like. So just go through it. And you see that in the model there are lots of parameters you need to tune in order to, you know, generate an accurate model. So that's typically how you would approach a machine learning with a traditional machine learning pipeline. So in HeatWave, we are automating this tedious machine learning task into AutoML. So this is an Oracle Research Lab technology. So it, instead of you doing all this task, you automate it into the AutoML engine. And with that, we don't really need to have, you know, very high Python skill, but leverage on the SQL knowledge that you have. So you can use SQL to invoke AutoML to create a model. So these are the four things that we innovate and put it into the AutoML. The more one is that, you know, in the pre-processing, we'll make sure that data set is complete. And a second step, you know, is to be able to sample the data into a good size for training. The goal is really to come up with an accurate model in a short amount of time. And the third one is we have a proxy model that we can start with. Instead of iterative, you know, getting this model, we actually have a proxy model to start with and fine tune along the way to get to the tune model. So with that, we have the engine within the HitWave database to allow you to do machine learning. So these are the three algorithms or three different type of categories that we support right now. Classification, regression, and forecasting. Soon to be available is the anomaly detection, which is going to be available very soon. So you can tackle different problems using all these algorithms. And yeah, so if you work with Scikit-learn, these are the algorithms that we support. And if you run AutoML, the engine will pick, depending on the categories, which algorithm will give you the most accurate in the shortest amount of time. So putting this together, doing machine learning in HitWave, it's really, you know, having a set of data loaded in the HitWave engine and essentially four SQL calls to implement machine learning in HitWave. So you can see that there's an ML train, there's a scoring for you to test the accuracy of the model, and then loading the data into the HitWave class, loading the model in the HitWave engine. And then depending on whether you want to do it in a batch way or in a real time prediction, there are two different functions that you can use. Essentially these are stored procedures that you invoke on the HitWave. To be more detail specific, these are some of the commands that you can use. I'm not going to go through each one of these, but if you're familiar with SQL, this is just fitting the value into the parameters. Predictable, explain role. I'm going to talk about explain a little bit so that you know the explain function is very important in the machine learning model. Okay, so I just want to run through a few illustrations to show you what happened in the backend. So when you have the data loaded into the InnoDB engine, when you execute the ML train, the data will be loaded into the HitWave node in a cluster, and then the training will happen in the HitWave node. And once the model is trained, it will then store into the model catalog. And then you can start using the model to predict by fitting it a new dataset. Okay, so when you run the predict table, it will get the model from the model catalog, load it into the HitWave node, and then it will get the result back to your application. Same goes for the explanation. Again, the model will be loaded, and it will explain why a prediction is made in a certain way so that it tells you what are the significant features that is used to making that prediction. Okay, so because this SQL base you can actually reuse, or you can use any of the notebook, Jupyter, Zapplin, or any SQL tools to work with HitWave machine learning. Okay, so I have an application developed here to show you how you can use this. So there's a banking marketing data which the model is trained to predict which other customers is likely to subscribe to a new product. So that gives the call center a good list of potential customers going to sign up because they can turn the potential into a customer so that you get the maximum return out of the call center. So the model has been trained, and all I need to do is to load the model into the cluster, and then I can show you the explanation capability in HitWave. So I'm going to do a show model explanation. It tells you, okay, for this particular customer, why does it sign up the product if it gets the call duration with these customers? And you can see that, so there's other parameters such as the bang rate, the URI ball rate, and also the number of years this person is employing is important, making this prediction that this customer will sign up with the product. So with this information, the call center can pick and choose the customers that will get likely to subscribe with the product. And in terms of scoring, you can check the accuracy of the model and the many different top of the metrics you can use to check the model. And here you can run this prediction in bash. For example, I'm creating a random table and I run the model on this table, and it gives me a prediction of which customer is going to sign up with the product. Okay, so let me just go to the next. Okay, so putting this all together, using the actual SQL, you have an idea of how easy it is to use this in HitWave. And so I'm just connecting to HitWave clusters, and this is the same dataset that I showed you. So connect it. And these are all the models in the model catalog. And so I'm just going to load the bank marketing model. Just load it. And this is the prediction on the table. So we just specified that the test dataset, the model which is loaded in the HitWave clusters and the table that will store the result. So that's how easy it is to use the model with SQL. Okay, so we also did a benchmark against others. You can see that because in the in-memory clusters and also the auto ML technology, we are way faster than Redshift ML. And in terms of cost, it's just 1% of the cost of using on Redshift ML. So with that, very quickly, I'll give you a quick overview of what you can do with HitWave. Besides, it's a very fast OLAP engine. But also you can run machine learning on HitWave. And if you want to try out, because this is on the cloud, you can actually sign up on Oracle Cloud with a trial account. You get 200 US dollars or 500 dollars sync in 30 days, whichever come first, to try out HitWave and machine learning. So with that, thanks for your time. And I'm here to ask a question if you have any. I see a bunch of questions. Here first. Hi, cool technologies. So how much influence do I have on the architecture of the model itself? If I say, okay, I want this many layers, I want skip layers, this many layers and so on. Do we have any more influence than just, okay, I want to classify? So the question is how many different types of algorithms? So today we support classification, regression and forecasting. And normally detection is coming. So yeah, the list of the algorithm, it's pretty much those three that we have currently. We're talking about model training, but then how about model serving? So I see that this is a very notebook driven environment, which is great and all for prototyping, but then for actually putting this model into production, how does that work? Okay, so it's all SQL driven. So once you have the model, it stores in the model catalog. So in order to consume the model, you need to load the model into the HitWave clusters. In terms of the application, it's just a simple SQL to invoke the model to do prediction. So either you could do a batch kind of predict on the table, or you could do a row based kind of prediction. So it's all through the SQL. So in the application, PSP or NodeJS, you know, use a master connector, connect to HitWave clusters, load the model and then run the stop procedures for prediction. Sorry, I have an architecture question regarding how this works.  Right. So HitWave is a cluster system. So then you run the ML train. So it's actually distributed into the cluster node and then do training because data is distributed. So you'll do distributed training. So it's all done by HitWave. It's all done by HitWave automatically. All right. Thanks. One last question. So will this be published to open source or how much of it already is? Good question. This is not open source, yeah. This is, yeah, only in the cloud. So that's why, you know, you can try out the HitWave with a trial account. All right. Well, thank you very much for this wonderful talk and answering all these great questions. Thank you. Thanks.


Hello everyone. Welcome to another Narc Survival Live video. Just been travelling for a few hours and I arrived at this town. I don't know much about it yet but I'm going to do some travelling. The female narcissist will leave you for dead. That is exactly what they will do. And some of you who are watching this, you may be male or you may be female, but either way if you have dealt with a female narcissist, I am sure that you will be able to relate. Because it's not always a relationship. It could be at work, it could be business, it could be a family member or friend. It could be anyone, but whoever it is if they are a female narcissist then this is typically what will happen. So they come in and they display this character to you because they tune in to what you're looking for, to what you're interested in and they mirror you, they reflect back your virtues and ideals so it's whatever you're looking for, whatever you want them to be and how many of you who are watching this, you may be empaths. So maybe you are looking for someone who is more humble and modest, someone who is agreeable, someone who's on the same page, someone who wants the same things as you do, a long-term relationship, marriage, children, a future, something where you're building together, you're working as a team and the female narcissist will come in because they are chameleons, they can shape shift and be whatever they think you want them to be. They'll create this false character just for you just to please you in that moment to get you hooked but then as time starts to go by it's like they're just demanding more and more of your time and energy, more and more of your money and you can clearly see as time is going by all of these things are happening to you, you're getting more and more tired, it's like you're not the same as you used to be, you're getting more and more drained, your bank balance is going down, you're not spending as much time working as you were before, now it's like all of your time just revolves around this person, this female narcissist, you're spending all of your time catering to them every day, it's like you can't even work anymore, you can't even make money or as much as you used to and yet it's like every week or month that goes by you seem to be spending more and more because they're taking your attention away from what should be more important to you, they're taking your focus away from that and instead all of your time and attention is on them, it revolves around their feelings and needs, it's like you become this shoulder for them to cry on and then after you become that they no longer respect you but then they never really respected you to begin with that was all an act so they could get in and then once they got in over time they began to show you exactly who they are, they began to reveal the true parts of themselves where you started to see beneath the surface of their manipulation, they became more intimidating and aggressive or they began to play the victim and they would give you these fake apologies, they would cry, they would act as though they're going to change but they never changed, it just got worse and all the while while all of this was going on they were draining you of everything you have and in a lot of situations they were living this free life, they were staying at your place, maybe they were driving your cars, you were buying them food every day, taking them out to eat, maybe you were taking them on trips as well and then gradually your life began to deteriorate, things inevitably got worse, it affected your health, it affected you financially, it affected everything about you and then it got to a point where you felt like you just couldn't do it anymore, you were nothing like what you used to be and that is when they felt like it was all over for you, those of you who have gone through this already, they decided that you were finished, you were all washed up, you were done and there was nothing more that they were going to get out of you so then they were ready, they just tossed you aside, they already had someone else lined up, they thought the grass was greener on the other side, they moved on to them and they just left you behind like you were nothing because that's typically what happens with female narcissists, they act like they're capable, they're so efficient and at the same time they're humble, they're modest but once you spend enough time around them, you realise that that is not true because what they do is they destroy you over time, they use up everything you have and if you look back you can clearly see it, it's like the moment they came into your life, your life began to decline and if they discarded you or you left them, now you can see that your life is beginning to get better, it starts to improve the moment that you are away from them because they are a constant hindrance on your life and of course remember we are talking about narcissists here, I'm not talking about all women although yes there are a lot of women in this world who are highly manipulative, they will sell you a dream, they will give you this character whatever they think you want to see, they will be that for a few days, a couple of weeks, however long it takes to get you hooked, to get you emotionally attached to where you are then more willing to come into their demands because that's all they really want from you, they are self-absorbed, they lack empathy, they are not in it for the long run unless there is an incentive for them to do that, they are just in it to get what they can and then leave and move on to the next, they do not really care about you and many of you will already know this because that may have been exactly what you've experienced already, the female narcissist they swooped in, they manipulated you, they sold you a dream, they told you they were about all of these things, exactly what you were looking for and you look back and it's like where are they now, if this person really loved me, if they really cared about me, if they had my best interest in mind, you've got to think after everything I invested in them, I remained loyal and devoted, then why aren't they with you now, if they really cared, now that is how you should know that they were never emotionally attached to you, they never loved you, they never cared about you, they never cared about you, if they did then they would never have let you go through all of the things that you went through, they will come in, sell you a dream and over time they will gradually take everything you have and when they think you're finished, you're all washed up, that is when they will leave and line up their next target to do the exact same thing all over again and this is happening to millions of men around the world, they get sold a dream by some woman who just wants to use them for their resources or even just for their attention and it takes their time away from their work and then all of these things start to go wrong for them, maybe they were tricked into marriage and then they had to go for the divorce and pay all the court fees, maybe they lost their house, their car and many of you may be going through this right now, you may have lost everything to some woman who never even cared about you, they were never really there for you and yet because of their arrogance and entitlement they managed to take everything away from you, maybe they're with some other guy right now, some of you who are watching this, I know many men go for these situations and there could be some other guy living in your house, he's sitting on your couch watching TV while your ex-narcissistic wife is cooking him dinner, maybe he's going out, he's driving your car and all of the money you lost, she may be spending that money on him, maybe he hasn't got a job and she's taking him on a holiday and now he's there with your kids, these things happen every day, there are so many men who have to go through this and all they really wanted was just a normal relationship, a normal marriage, just a normal family but they were tricked, they were sold a dream and I know many of you who have been through this, you may have lost your own kids to this woman and now you can't even see them and yet you have to pay money to them every month and maybe you had to pay the alimony as well, it's not right, it's not fair but these female narcissists are everywhere and they exploit these systems because these systems are set up to work in their favour and it destroys genuine hard-working loyal trustworthy men, the very men who we should be encouraging and creating systems to support them, destroying them does not serve anyone in the long run, these men could have helped so many people, they could have been productive members of society, they could have contributed a lot, together they could have made a big difference in the world and there's so many of us who have been through this, there's millions of people around the world, this happens all the time and these systems favour narcissistic women who destroy these men's lives but unfortunately it's just the way that it is today and it's just something that you need to be aware of to protect yourself if you've been through it already to prevent yourself from getting in another situation like that again, you need to be very careful around a lot of women today because they are just looking for someone to exploit, they're looking for someone who will take them in, take care of them, when all along they're not really with you, they're just in it for what they can get, they're wearing a mask and they already know that if you knew who they really are you wouldn't want anything to do with them but by the time you figure it out it's too late, they've already got what they wanted from you and then they're out, they're on to someone else, we need to pay attention to the red flags at the beginning of the relationship because if you look back there were red flags, it's just that we overlook them, we don't pay enough attention to them because if you look back a lot of them they tell them, they tell you exactly who they are but we want to believe that they are something different when they're actually not and that's not to say that all women are bad, of course not, there are good women out there, I've met some already myself but we need to look at our own co-dependency, our people pleasing to where it's like we want to put ourselves in these situations where we can save people, we can help them, maybe we see their lives and it looks like they're not doing too well and we just want to give them what they never had, we want to make them happy when thinking like that, when we're looking for a project for us to fix, these things just put us into trouble, it brings problems into our lives, a better thing to do is to find someone who already has their life together, someone who is on the same level as you, someone who you can see that they're not just putting on an act, they're not just trying to please you or just be who you want them to be but that is who they actually are because yes a lot of these women they put on an act, they pretend to be something they're not because they know what a lot of men want to see today especially after you've already been through one failed marriage after that just like you're looking for something different, you're looking for a woman who is more kinder, more agreeable, someone who's willing to work and build with you as a team rather than being envious and competing with you and that's really it that's what you need to be looking for it's someone that who's not only a relationship partner but someone who is your friend like a close friend, someone who you can be vulnerable around but that's not to say that you should tell her all of your problems she shouldn't be the shoulder for you to cry on remember we are men and we should be able to take care of ourselves emotionally we shouldn't be looking for some woman to be our mother that's never going to be a healthy relationship we have to be men we have to be able to think logically and rationally and to be able to manage our own emotions because what gets us into these relationships a lot of times it is these emotions these fantasies to where we're not thinking logically or clearly and we're we're willing to believe in this dream because it feels good in the beginning but then that means that any woman can come along and just sell you this dream and then they can get you to take care of them they can get you to do what they want you to do and then at any moment they can leave you even after everything you invested into them all of that just goes to waste so yes it's very important to be aware of this what a lot of these women are doing today they're not really with you they know they don't belong around you they're just there to get what they can get so they will play the role they will pretend like they're with you when a lot of them they never even decide a relationship to begin with they were just looking for someone to save them they weren't looking to be with you long term they saw you as something temporary because they already knew that if you knew who they were and what they were really about and how they don't really have empathy they don't really care about you if you knew all of these things from the start you never would have got involved with them and that's really something to keep in mind because looking back at my past relationships that's really what was missing it was that empathy i mean some of them they may have managed to fake it a bit in the beginning but over time it revealed that they did lack empathy they couldn't share my feelings and experience and that's not to say that i was looking for a shoulder to cry on or anything like that i've never really had these ideas when i'm in a relationship it's more i was just looking for someone who understands someone who is on the same page someone who is in the direction that i'm going in in the future thinking about having a family getting married creating a life for our children but sadly a lot of women today especially younger women they are not thinking like that they are not thinking like that at all they're just thinking about what they can get in the moment and then just move on to the next guy until they get older and then maybe then they settle down with someone who is unaware or someone who just doesn't have many options because then it's easy for them to get in but that is really what you need to be looking for when you are dealing with these women you need to be looking for that empathy that is the key component that you need to build a healthy relationship you do need to have a woman who is caring and nurturing someone who actually sees you they know that you exist and they can see when you're feeling down they can see when something is not right when you're sad when you're confused they can see that and they just can't deal with it that is the type of woman that you need to be looking for the type of woman who will actually care about you she won't be able to see you going through anything she will be there for you unfortunately as i mentioned before empathetic people empaths they are very rare i know many of you who are watching this right now you may be empaths as well but unfortunately it is only one to two percent of the population so it's not easy to find someone like that but i can say once you tune into yourself and you remember who you were being to the narcissist remember how you treated them how you always cared about them how you were at their back and call knowing that recognizing it it will make it easier for you to identify another empath so you're looking for someone who looks at you in a similar way that you looked at the narcissist in a similar way that you treated them but at the same time when you do find someone like that you have to let go of the bitterness the resentment from the past and of how you were treated unfairly and you just have to give it a clean slate another chance with an empath you really have to let everything go you cannot bring that forward into the next relationship it doesn't matter what happened this new person if you meet another empath they are not responsible for that it wasn't their fault as long as they were not involved it's someone from a completely different situation you have to try to not be so paranoid or distrustful of them because these types of things even though they may be an empath it may push them away so again yes these are things to be aware of the type of person that you want to attract you need to become that person you need to be loving and caring you need to be empathetic because like attracts like so if you want to attract this person into your life you need to be that as well you need to tune into your empathy that ability to share another person's experience and by doing that it will put you on that frequency to where you're more able to recognize these traits in another person and it's like you may never have seen it before especially after you've been involved with a narcissist many of us we may experience narcissistic fleas we may become more self-absorbed and shut off from the world ourselves and when we're doing that you wouldn't even be able to see an empath even if they were right in front of you because you need to be on that frequency as well you need to activate that empathy when you do that you will see it straight away you will know it immediately when you tune into that loving frequency that empathy you will immediately recognize the empath if you are dealing with one and of course that is typically what narcissists do as well they pretend to be empathetic they reflect it back to us they use cognitive empathy and they've got a lot of practice at doing that so they already know exactly what they're looking for but you will already know if it's you if you are the empath you've only got to look back for your life all of the narcissistic people you dealt with all of the times you came into the relationship with so much and you left with a lot less than you had while the other person left with a lot more that tells you everything that you need to know but yes that's what I really want for you the men who are watching this especially you've dealt with these female narcissists they've manipulated you they've used and abused you they left you for dead but I don't want you to give up on relationships it doesn't mean that you have to get back into a relationship straight away you should take some time to heal I would recommend at least six months maybe one year just take some time alone stay out of relationships get to know yourself again build your life back up but stay tuned into that empathy be aware that at some point in time you may come across another empath and it may be the first time in your life but when you see that when you experience it you won't forget it you will feel it you will recognize it that transfer of energy and it's like for the first time in your life you feel like someone actually sees you someone actually cares about you someone actually doesn't want to see you in pain someone will be there for you even at their own expense and it's like in the same way that you were there for the narcissist the way that you love them the way that you cared about them the way that you would have done anything for them you would have done anything to make them happy if they said jump you said how high you gave your life for them you sacrificed everything and of course that doesn't mean that someone has to come along and sacrifice everything for you of course that is unhealthy there needs to be a mutual exchange so at least if they can meet you halfway that is how you build a healthy relationship when two people are given to each other and that is why in my opinion my experience of what i've researched the best relationships are when two empaths come together but at the same time they have their own separate lives they have their own thing that they're doing their own purpose and they don't have to be together they're fine on their own but it's a choice they're choosing to be together and it's because they just care they just appreciate that connection it matters to them and it's not just because of the feeling that they get for themselves it's for the feeling that they get to give to you because another empath they love to see you happy they love to see you comfortable there's nothing they want more and i'm sure that was you in the narcissistic relationships that you experienced that was you every time you were always that person but yes we do need to watch out for these female narcissists because they are everywhere and we do need to watch where we are putting ourselves because of course there are typical places where female narcissists are going to be anything like nightclubs bars these types of things anything where it's noisy loud there's a lot of people there most empaths are not going to be in that type of situation they're not going to be in a loud noisy place with loud music alcohol they're not going to be able to feel comfortable in that type of space empaths prefer to be alone a lot of the time unless they can find someone who is similar to them but of course that is quite rare empaths they may just enjoy sitting at home reading a book well narcissists they're always out they're always seeking supply so they're going to go wherever they expect supply to be wherever is easiest for them so of course there are typical hotspots for narcissists and we do need to be very careful i really wouldn't advise starting a relationship with anyone you've met in a bar with a nightclub i personally don't think that's a good idea at all because as we know this is where narcissists go that's where they go to find supply and as well as that they're always on social media so if you want to find another empath i would say to go to a library maybe a cafe maybe a beach you might find an empath sitting on the sand but they're not going to be in a large group of people they're not going to be around all of the music they're going to be off somewhere maybe with their earphones in they're going to be looking down they're going to be looking away from everything else it's just what empaths typically do because they can't take on all of this energy that they're receiving from other people it's too draining for them so that's really my advice if you are looking to settle down with another empath because like attracts like it works well although it is very rare but i think that's really what we need in this world is for empaths to come together empaths need to be together in relationships in marriages and it can be genetic as well so it's great if two empaths can have children together that's what we need we need more empaths in the world people who care about other people people who aren't just all about themselves because i know myself and my own life i've already contributed so much to this world i've lost so much i've helped so many people and i'm not one to really brag about things like that i don't really talk about it but i have done a lot a lot of things behind the scenes that no one sees and i know and i accept that i am just one man there's only so much that i can do so what i really want is for people to heal and avoid these narcissistic people who are only going to use you and instead try to find another empath get married start a family bring empathetic children into the world because that's really what we need it's very rare now only one to two percent of the population may be empaths so it's quite sad when you think about it when you go out into the world you see all these people eight billion people in the world very few of them are empaths and of that one to two percent how many of them have been hurt already to the point where they may not be willing to give anyone another chance i just find it really sad and i know that from the things that i've seen the world used to be a very different place and it's only getting worse which is why we do need to continue to educate ourselves to protect ourselves from a narcissist because again it's not just about ourselves and i know a lot of you may be fed up with hearing that if you've been with narcissists i know what that's like of course but really it's true it's not all about us i mean we have to protect ourselves from a narcissist for the good of the world for the good of other people so that one day we can meet another empath get married have children who inherit our genes they're empathetic as well and they go out into the world they're aware they know what to avoid and then they do the same thing they meet another empath as well and if we all do that this world will gradually improve people will begin to treat others right again so that's really what i'm thinking about and that's really always been my mission it's really what i've wanted and even i myself of course i am open to dating again i hope that one day i will meet someone right for me i hope that i will meet another empath and then maybe we'll get married we'll have children together and they will inherit our genes and we can teach them as well to practice empathy we can teach them that empathy is important and then they'll go out into the world they will treat other people right but at the same time they will be aware they will know what to avoid yes of course i do think about dating again of course this time was someone who is more like myself someone who cares not only about me but just about the world in general maybe someone who is a vegan like myself someone who is spiritual and while i've been through a lot i don't ever want to give up i'm going to keep trying because i believe that it is my duty it's something that i am supposed to do and i want you to see it that way as well for yourself if you have empathy effective empathy you need to see it as your duty as well to keep this alive because narcissism is very alive in the world today effective empathy is very rare it's dying out so what kind of a world are we going to live in and what kind of a world will it be for our children our grandchildren of course we need to think about these things because we all do have a duty to educate our children so that they do consider other people they treat other people right we don't need any more bitter resentful people in this world people who are only looking to take rather than build they're not looking to contribute contribute anything to anyone the last thing we need is more people like that so that's really what i'm about and that's really what i want to promote to close this message and i hope that it inspires you to do the same to take this energy and to share it with the world and hopefully together we can make some improvements we can spread the peace and the love the positivity because i do believe that that is our duty that is our mission our purpose that's why we're here so that's it for this video i hope it was helpful for you those of you who have dealt with female narcissists if it was you can give it a thumbs up down below it will help to support our community and let me know your thoughts down in the comment section i do read your comments every day share and subscribe and as always i will talk to you in another one very soon


Kia ora, ko hollitako ingoa, and I'm talking about the FutureSlam, which is an event series that we hold at Auckland Museum, and it's a little bit like what we've been doing here today, and that we've been talking about all the amazing digital things that have been going on and the amazing digital opportunities. Sitting in the audience today, it's been awesome to hear such thoughtful and detailed and critical applications of digital technologies and I guess future thinking has been a lot of like wisdom really, and it's just like sitting there in awe. But I'm going to ask you to forget all your considerate ways and answer a very black and white question. Are we hitting for a dystopia or a utopia? So hands up for dystopia? Utopia. OK, I've got a realist over here who's probably right, but we mostly think utopia, which is great. But when you look outside, I guess, it's kind of a dramatic question, because a lot of the sort of pop culture marketing, the news, our kind of everyday chatter and buzz around the future, if you do have access to all this, is kind of dramatic in terms of what is happening now and also in the future. Up on these slides, I especially like the promise, because this is just a sign in Newmarket and Auckland by the train station. Dump all your stress in the world of virtual reality.  And this futurism thing, your children may never see a moon rise because they will live on the moon. It seems kind of far out, but equally there are rockets going to England in 10 years, so who knows. And I mean many people can kind of maybe distinguish between what's fake news and what's real and what might actually happen. But this all does make it harder to understand what's actually happening. And I mean where the digital kind of professionals or the people who are really interested in this stuff, because we're here at this conference, but how can we sort of really spread this digital thinking to our colleagues, to other people in our institutions and get everyone on board? One way we've been doing this in Auckland Museum is through the Future Slam. We've done this for this cool sting. Do you see the star? Yeah, so once a month we do a one hour long session and we will have an external speaker that's Sam Raumlu from Method and an internal speaker that's shown a pictorial curator. We lure people in with food. That's the rocky road of the title. It's just a sweet treat. We also do demos, sometimes just panel questions or sometimes workshops. And we have about 50 staff per event, 10 to 10. We have about 200 overall and the videos go on the internet afterwards. But taking it back in 2016, we had a very similar series called the Digital Ideas Brewery and that was internal speakers basically saying like, here's what we're doing digitally at Auckland Museum today. Do you have any ideas as well? And people, those are the topics we did like 3D scanning, collection imaging. And then at the start of this year we did a little survey. What did people think of these? People thought the purpose seemed a bit unclear and there was maybe too much idea generation like, you know, why haven't you put koro that AR Weta on the floor yet? So it was kind of a, it was hard to follow through with all the ideas that were being made. People loved the rocky road and they really loved the chance to explore these ideas and think about digital with colleagues and other teams whose job it might not be to do that usually. So back to the future, Sam. We kind of renamed it a wee bit, took the ideas brewing out of it and set some clear objectives and a structure for the year ahead. So we kind of looked, I guess, the kind of big four tech trends to start with and we'd get an external speaker in and then have that internal speaker. So we did machine learning and AI and we got someone from IBM in and you see people kind of being like, oh, robots are going to take our jobs and all those kind of usual fears were to brew up and then we did AI and mixed reality. Again, someone from agencies and then the Internet of Things.  We didn't talk about blockchain but we'll save that for next year when everyone understands it more. Yeah. And this was some of the feedback. This was the Internet of Things. Very inspiring and so much I can share with young adult kids. Things are going to be different and people would say, oh, we're talking about it in the weekend with my friends and it's cool. Awesome. Part two, we took, I guess, a kind of critical turn. We looked at redesigning the future a cyborg visitor and that came from tertiary institutions and the speakers and we did kind of more workshop-based things and we haven't done that last one yet. The workshops and... Sorry, I'm running out of time. The benefits of this. We have really found that having these events does kind of elevate and kick-start conversations as we're thinking what could we be doing in this gallery as the digital team and the developers of the exhibition. And we'll be like, oh, yeah, remember what they talked about yesterday or we could do something like this here and here. So it does kind of raise up, spread that digital thinking and it is quite a safe space to air concerns around new technologies and we do get people coming up instead of talking about it afterwards. Learnings, if you were to do something similar, try to set expectations around the purpose of events, balance that idea generation with listening, discussion, et cetera and if you can, bring in outside perspectives. Other things you could do, maybe you're at a much smaller institution. You could start with internal speakers, do a show and tell. Just report back on what you've seen at this conference. You could maybe watch a TED talk or something similar during lunch and then do some sort of discussion afterwards. Go to external events, meet-ups as a group, do like a future book club style thing. There's a reason these are all centered around the group being in a group because although there's huge, important value in our unique perspectives, that's crucial. But it's also really valuable to have a shared understanding and the future isn't siloed like it is in so many of our organisations. So, yeah, I was looking for images from our collection for this and I saw these really cute fun ho signs and thought, oh, this is perfect new working ahead. It says I later realised it says men. I was like, oh, no, no. So, it should be new. It's new, OK? So, two points first. You see what you want to see and secondly the future is for everyone and I think as digital professionals we have a real responsibility to bring people along with us on this really fascinating journey. It's kind of scary, it's kind of exciting, it's a lot of things, but yeah, it's a lot better when we're kind of in it together.


Welcome to Think Tech Hawaii research in Manoa. I'm your host, Pete McGinnis-Mark, and today we're going to hear something really topical. We have a guest, Katie Hinson, who is an outreach specialist for the UH Manoa Sea Grant program. So, Katie, welcome to our show. I'm sure a number of our viewers have already heard about King Tides, but there's a lot that we can discuss here because this is a really topical subject that we're starting to see a lot of these very high tides. So, first of all, tell us a little bit about yourself. You're an extension specialist, is that correct? Yeah. So, thank you so much for having me on the show today. I'm really excited to be here and we're always excited to get the chance to get the word out about King Tides and some of the citizen science that we're doing related to King Tides. So, I am a Sea Grant extension agent with the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College program. Basically, Hawaii Sea Grant is a collaborative of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Hawaii and we work on all different kinds of coastal conservation issues, doing outreach and education and research. Some of the viewers may have actually encountered Sea Grant at Hanama Bay, for example. I believe we have a big outreach effort there. Yeah. So, the Hanama Bay education program is run through Sea Grant. So, we do lots of outreach and education work with them and I focus primarily as an outreach specialist on kind of being the two-way link between the community and the research. So, both working to make sure that the questions and the problems addressed by research at the University of Hawaii and other academic institutions or federal agencies address issues that the community is concerned about and then also bringing back information and questions from the community to researchers. Right. So, Sea Grant is much broader than simply looking at tides, for example, but its fisheries, its shoreline change is how do we interact with the ecosystem as well along the coastline? Yeah, absolutely. If there's something related to coastal natural resources, we probably touch on it. So, we do sustainable tourism work, we do sustainable aquaculture work, we do lots of work around beach erosion and coastal hazards, tropical cyclones. And not just here on Oahu, but I understand obviously the other neighbor islands but also some other places around the Pacific. Is that correct? Yeah. So, the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College program also does work in American Samoa and the Republic of the Marshall Islands and then there's also a Guam Sea Grant College program. So, there are sea grants in every coastal state as well as Puerto Rico and Guam. So, there's 33 programs all around the country. But you're here today to tell us all about these king tides. Yeah. And anybody who is out at the beach on Friday or Saturday will have seen the effects of the king cut king tides. But can you just give us a little bit of the background? What is a king tide? Yeah, absolutely. So, this is a question we get a lot. A lot of people wonder what is a king tide and often why am I just seem to be hearing a lot about it now this summer. So, king tide is quite simply the non-scientific term that's used to describe the highest high tide of the year. So, we probably remember from back in the days of fifth grade science that we have high tide and low tide and that depends on the gravitational pull of the moon. And so, king tides, when we get a king tide there are two things that are happening. The first is that the sun, the moon and the earth are in alignment. So, the moon's gravitational pull is working along with the sun. They're kind of pulling together and that's making the tides a bit higher than normal. Often in a new moon or a full moon, we'll see this. And I think you brought along a slide which might sort of illustrate what we're talking about. So, if you have the first slide and then, Katie, if you can just walk us through. We're looking at two different diagrams. Let's do the first one on the left. So, the one on the left is just kind of explaining the very basic that we see high tides on the side of the earth where the moon's gravitational pull is pulling and then the opposite side. And we're looking at the earth from above the North Pole and the moon is drawn much closer to the earth than it really is. But those sort of light blue areas are showing where the high water is in the direction of the moon and the low tides are 90 degrees away, correct? Yes. Yeah. And that's just a regular high and low tide throughout the year. Exactly. Okay. And then on the right hand side, lurking off to the top right of the image, we've got the cartoon of the sun, right? And so this is what you were saying where you've got the moon and the sun in alignment. So it's giving us an extra gravitational tug, is that correct? Yes. So the sun and the moon are in essence working together. They're pulling together. And that's making the tide, the high tide a little bit higher than we would normally see. So the second thing that happens that isn't necessarily shown in this graphic is that we also see the moon and its closest point to the earth and its orbit. So I'm sure you know better than I do, but the basic way to think about it is that the moon orbits the earth not in a perfect circle, but in oval shape. Yeah. And at some points in time, it's a bit closer to the earth than others. So when we have the sun, the moon and the earth are lined up together, and the moon is at its closest point in its orbit to the earth, that's when we see a kingtide. And of course, its gravitational effect is stronger when the moon is closer to the earth than when it's far away. So this is why we don't get kingtides every month, presumably, it's just depends on the orbit of the moon around the earth, as when it coincides with being in line with the sun, is that correct? That's correct. So in the Hawaiian Islands, we usually see kingtides once in the summer months around June, July, and once in the winter months around November, December. And we had kingtides today is June 26. And we had kingtides here, like June 23 and 24. Previous month in May was around about the 28th or something like that. So it's about every 27 days. So May is interesting because that was not actually what we would traditionally call a kingtide. So one of the reasons why we've seen the kingtides have so much impact this year is because we're seeing unusually high water levels in the Hawaiian Islands. So I don't know if we have the second slide. Yes, let's turn to the second slide, which I think shows these are the tidal charts where the fishermen, official women will go or canoeists. So explain to our viewers, or those who are just listening, what is it we're looking at here? Yeah, so on the horizontal axis, it's time. So this is the period of time, I believe, from that you were just referencing May 25 to 27 this past month. And then on the vertical axis, we have the height of the tide in feet. And what's interesting about this chart is that the blue line is what what Noah predicted the tidal height to be. And green is the actual observed tidal height during that time. Okay, and as we've got really tiny, tiny numbers, the height in feet varies by about three feet from the minimum to the maximum in this particular chart. Is that great? In this case, yeah. And the thing that's important here is that gap between the blue and the green. So since the beginning of for a couple months now, we've been seeing water levels that are anywhere from six to 10 inches higher than we expected them to be. So that's kind of why we saw these really high tides in May that looked like they were a king tide, even though the whole sun, the earth, the moon dance wasn't doing what we originally think of. That's actually June and July. So this coming up July 21 and 22 will be our second summer king tide. But we saw these really high water levels in April and May, because of that extra discrepancy between what we predicted the tide to be what we actually saw. And this is an ocean wide phenomenon or is it concentrated just in central Pacific where Hawaii is located? Or do we see this all like in the Western Pacific? This is quite unusual. Is it related to El Nino? It's related to a couple different things. So I like to think of it almost as like a layer cake. There's all these different factors that are stacking on top of each other to contribute to the water level that we see on the shoreline. So one of those things is sort of Pacific wide trends and sea levels like the El Nino cycle. Another factor are what we call eddies, which are sort of circular currents that can be very large, they can be miles wide. And we had a group of these big circular currents that have elevated sea levels at their center moving through the Hawaiian Islands during April and May. So that's part of what brought the levels up higher. And then on top of that, we also have global sea level rises as a result of climate change. So all these things stacking together is what's making that that gap between observed and the predicted tide. And the advanced publicity for some of the the outreach that I heard was that what we're starting to see with these king tides because of global warming, where the volume of water in the oceans increasing, this may become much more normal, and we'll have even higher king tides and higher regular tides. Yeah, so the thing that's great about king tides and the reason that we developed this this outreach citizen science project, which is called the Hawaii and Pacific Island King Tides Project, is that king tides give us a bit of a glimpse into the future of what our shoreline will look like with sea level rise. So what today we experience as something unusual, the highest high tides of the year will be our our norm, our average tidal height in the future under conditions of global sea level rise. And you say it will become the norm. But we'll still get king tides on top of the future norm. So this is not going to get any better. Yeah, so one of the things we get asked is, for example, well, what would happen if we had a big rainstorm or some sort of storm surge at the same time as one of these king tides? And if these king tides are the norm, if they're what we're seeing more and more frequently as a regular high tide, then that's more and more likely to happen. And it will exacerbate the impact of storm surge or tsunami or hurricane or any of those typical episodic hazards that we expect. Right. And so you've had this big public outreach, just on a Wahoo or other Hawaiian islands as well? Yes. So the project is the is the Hawaii and Pacific Islands king tides project. So we we're trying to recruit citizen scientists from all across the Pacific region. So not just the Hawaiian Islands, but also American Samoa, Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands. We've had a really great participation on a Wahoo, but also some really fantastic participation across all of the Hawaiian Islands. So I think at this point, we have about 300 people signed up to participate in the project. Maybe I should backtrack and talk a little bit about what the project itself is. Well, we'll save that for the second half of the show. Okay, got over excited. So yeah, we are we are trying to collect information on the tide impacts across the entire region. Okay, well, we're getting very close to a break now, Katie. So in the second half, I'd like to see some examples of these king tides, maybe hear a bit more about the outreach that Sea Grant is doing. But let me just remind the viewers, you're watching Think Tech Hawaii research in Manoa. I'm your host, Pete McGinnis Mark, and my guest today is Katie Hinson, who is educational outreach specialist with a UH Sea Grant program. I'm going to be back in about a minute. Aloha, my name is Steven Philip Katz. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. And I'm the host of shrink wrap Hawaii where I talk to other shrinks. Did you ever want to get your head shrunk? Well, this is the best place to come to pick one. I've been doing this, we must have 60 shows with a whole bunch of shrinks that you can look at. I'm here on Tuesdays at three o'clock every other Tuesday. I hope you are to Aloha. We all play a role in keeping our community safe. Every day, we move in and out of each other's busy lives. It's easy to take for granted all the little moments that make up our every day. Some are good, others not so much. But that's life. It's when something doesn't seem quite right, that it's time to pay attention. Because only you know what's not supposed to be in your every day. So protect your every day. If you see something suspicious, say something to local authorities. And welcome back to Think Tech Hawaii research in Manoa. I'm your host, Pete McGinnis-Mark. And our guest this week is Katie Hinson, who is an educational outreach specialist with the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program. Now, Katie, we had a lot of discussion about these tides in the first half of the show. Let's take a look at some of the examples, because we've got some fascinating illustrations. Like, as we go through these, tell me why they're important? Why should people care about sea level rise? Yeah. So these are images that that were submitted to the project. And they show some of the examples of the impacts of king tides on local shorelines all across the Line Islands. And the thing that's important to understand about these images is that these are similar to what we expect to see from sea level rise. This one here looks as if we got diamond head in the background, looks kind of like the Royal Hawaiian's Beach, right, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or somewhere along there. Yes. So this comes from Waikiki in May 2017. And what it's showing is that we get things like beach erosion, high wave run up inundation that impacts access to the coastline, it impacts recreation and tourism, which certainly has some some economic implications. Okay, maybe go on to the next one. And this one looks particularly disconcerting. Is this on Maui, I believe? This comes from Maui also in May of 2017. And just thinking about how many homes and roads and businesses that we have that are built quite close to the coastline in Hawaii, those are all places that are going to see potential impacts from sea level rise in the future. We had Matt Barbie on the show a few weeks ago, and he was talking about beach erosion and the long term trend, say in Waikiki for sea level rise. But here in this illustration, we're almost seeing it happening today. Is that correct that I certainly would feel a little disconcerted if I was living in that house and my nice beach had gone away. Yeah, and I think it's absolutely something that people who live near the coastline are recognizing now. This is not a problem that's in the distant future. This is something that we're seeing today. And let's go on to another one. And this is also on the Wahoo, is that correct? Yes, this comes from the Heia Fish Pond in Kanyohi Bay, and sort of designed to give an example of a cultural or historic site that's threatened by sea level rise. So this is you can see the ocean is overtopping the fish wall, and these fish ponds rely on a really ingenious balance of salt and freshwater to grow limu or algae and produce fish. So when you have that overtopping of the sea wall, it changes all different things about the temperature and the chemistry of the fish pond. So it really can impact these cultural sites. So the viability of having a fish pond impacting marine life, which may require not quite salt water, not quite freshwater, but this balance between the two. So we're seeing some economic impacts, not only in tourism, Richard Waikiki, but also in terms of, say, potential concerns of people actually living at the coast with their houses. And here now we're starting to see the ecosystems being affected. So there's a variety of concerns which are being illustrated by this. I think we've got one or two others. And now this is interesting. I was out on the Alawai Canal in May, and I was looking for this sort of thing. What is it we've got here? It looks like a regular road. Yeah, so what you can see that little bit of white in the storm drain is actually waves coming up through the storm drain system and depositing sand from Waikiki Beach on the road there. So it's made itself a little mini beach. This is where the beach wants to move to. So thinking about infrastructure, there's impacts not only to above ground infrastructure, but all that stuff that's under our feet that we don't see on a daily basis. So our storm drain systems, our wastewater systems, all of that is impacted by this sea level rise. Right, right. So is this Cowakawa Avenue or somewhere like that? This is a good question. I think this is near the outrigger near the outrigger. So basically, obviously, as the tide rises, you get all of the saltwater intrusion beneath the surface along the storm drains, streams or whatever. So there's a lot of infrastructure that might be a risk. Absolutely. And as the tide rises, it brings the water table up with it as well. So we will also see flooding in low lying areas that aren't necessarily right on the coast just because the water table is rising. And in coastal plains in Hawaii, our water table is already quite close to the surface. So having it bring it up higher just makes those areas that are prone to flooding just much more at risk. Right. Yeah. So your work seems to be very similar to what Matt was telling our viewers a few weeks ago in terms of the potential for the impacts of sea level rise. And I think there's one more slide. We've got a quick glimpse of this character here. Yeah, we mentioned that the fishponds were at risk. We've got a monk seal here. What's the concern? Yeah, so this is a monk seal on the highway in Maui just this month in June. And what's happened here is that his I believe it's a her actually that her normal beach lounging spot has been inundated because of the king tide. So the beach is completely underwater. So she's moved up. She's tried to move her habitat upland and the highways in the way. She doesn't much care about the highway. So that's where she's going to take her nap. So I think it illustrates this really good idea that we have a lot of valuable coastal habitat in Hawaii. And that habitat is going to naturally start to migrate inland as we see sea level rise. But people are in the way we have a lot of buildings and infrastructure and roads that have been built fairly close to the coastline. So we're going to have to figure out how to balance preserving those important human necessary spaces but also finding places for the habitat and creatures like the monk seals that rely on that coastal habitat to go to sea level rises. So as an outreach specialist, what do you tell the general public in terms of getting ready for future even higher tides? There must be some sort of takeaway that you have to give to all of these people. What do we do? Yeah, so as an outreach specialist, what I'm really interested in is hearing ideas from the community about what they think that we should do because they know these spaces much better than I do, much better than the researchers do, right? People have lived on these coastlines, they fish, they surf, they've spent time in these coastal areas for a very long time. So they know the vulnerabilities. They know what's going to be impacted by high waves. They know what's impacted by flooding. They know what kind of species are going to be impacted by sea level rise. And by and large, when you start to talk with them, they have ideas about what we need to do to prepare for that. So I think a lot of it is about having a conversation between the research and the communities who themselves recognize the vulnerability and are really ready to take action on that. Okay, so people have been living in the islands for many years, have some appreciation for the land and the ocean and interface of the shoreline. But then what do we do in places like Waikiki where mainly it's tourists, mainly there's a lot of development, or in Kakako, for example, where we've got this new urban center being developed, where there's not the historical knowledge. Do you see that there's problems in some of these areas, or are you hopeful that we'll figure it out and be okay in the next decade or so? I'm definitely hopeful. I mean, Hawaii is taking a lot of great action on policy level to try to address concerns of sea level rise and other climate change impacts. So one of the projects that Sea Grant is involved with is working with some of our partners in state government who are developing a sea level rise vulnerability and adaptation report. So basically taking maps and other sort of best available science about the impacts of sea level rise and incorporating that into our planning. So when we start to make decisions about where are we building new hotels? How are we retrofitting our houses? How are we investing in our infrastructure, our roadways, our sewer systems? We can start to incorporate the information about what we know the future is going to look like with sea level rise. So I think it's a pretty large scale, sometimes daunting problem, but the actual practices of adapting and preparing for this are about the every day decisions that we make. So tackling it at a local level might actually be the best strategy rather than trying to get Washington DC or even the state legislature to take the initiative. You think from what I'm hearing, you're thinking that the local communities, the people who really understand the land, really understand the ocean, that's where you see the most prospects. I think it's a both and, not an either or. Yeah, I think we need policy and action at the higher level because that is a lot of what sets our priorities in terms of how we make land use decisions, but we also need action at the local community level. I think Hawaii is a really great place to be working on these issues because we do have both of those. And having the best data that were available is clearly going to strengthen your case and I believe obviously the king tides aren't just in June. I believe we've got a little promo slide for you coming up if we can have the next slide, which will, oh let's move on. Here we go, here's the one I was thinking of. So as I said, it wasn't just last week, they're coming again. So tell me a bit about this slide and getting ready for it. What's the plan? Yeah, so one of the things that we're doing around these king tides is we have a citizen science project where we're asking everyday people to go out and take pictures of the king tides and their impacts. So all of those great images that you saw before, those were taken by regular everyday people who participate in this project. So it's a free smartphone app that you can download by going to this website PacificIslandsKingtides.org and you can take photographs of king tide impacts and researchers use those photographs to help them better understand sea level rise, to help them prepare for future sea level rise. It's used by... And our studio technician has just taken us to that website, so there we are. Isn't that fantastic? And I believe, Katie, having the general public sending these images is really helpful because Sea Grant can't be everywhere at the same time. So you really need to get an island-wide or statewide view of what the coastline is like, how high the water level is, looking inland to try and see if you've got the sewers which are having waves and that sort of thing. Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, I already touched on the idea that these king tides that are right now unusual are going to be the new norm in the future with sea level rise. So by taking photographs, by documenting the impacts of king tides, that helps us understand what our future looks like with sea level rise and is really helpful for researchers, resource managers, decision makers that are making those daily decisions about how we prepare for this. And your website, the link, and then we went to the actual website, can the general public actually see other people's images? So if a citizen scientist, if she's interested in trying to understand the impact of high tides, can go around into like a clickable map with all the photographs or a list for various localities? Yes, absolutely. We have both of those. So we have a clickable map, an interactive map, where you can go and see all of the photographs that have been submitted and then we also have a database that's searchable. So if I want to see all of the photographs of storm drain on Oahu during the June 2017 king tide, I can do that. Or if I want to see all of the beach images from Maui during the July king tide, I can do that. And we have at this point over 2,000 photographs in that database. And Sea Grant will maintain this website for the next king tide and then hopefully next year we'll be able to do a compare and contrast. Who knows what the ocean conditions will be like a year from now, but I think it'll be fascinating to sort of come back and say well this was the maximum tidal height in 2017. What was it in 2018 or 2020 or something like that? Yeah, absolutely. You know science is a marathon. It's not a sprint. So we want to be documenting the impacts of these king tide events long into the future, even beyond the the excitement that we had this past month with lots of great participation and attention. But definitely it's a it's a matter of continuing to document the impacts, continuing to get new observations and photographs. This is a great service that Sea Grant and yourself, Katie, have been performing for the community. Unfortunately we're getting near the end of the show, so let me just thank you. I'm your host Pete McGinnis-Mark and you'll be watching research in Manoa. Our guest today is Katie Hinson, who is an educational outreach specialist at the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College. Katie, thank you so much for coming in. We will look forward to the next spring as king tide in July. Hopefully it won't be too bad, but if it is we'll make sure we'll bring you back for an update. Well thank you all again for watching the show and we look forward to seeing you again next week. So bye for now.


It is the UI team.  Yeah, I always go lock. I always go lock. I got UI, or, yeah. It's fine, it's fine. How? Yeah, it's got a full ship. The pet is nobody in the Rollin' Calf. The pilot, check it out. I'm sending the pilot back. Do you have a chief on my route? No, I don't have. Just chill a bit, I think, yes. Just chill, just chill, yeah. I'm hitting the pet a little bit. I think it's a mid route, sir. I'm going to push it to the bottom. Sure. Push it. Cleaning lock. I just fell himself. He found the dispel button. I'm full hexed. Unblock it, y'all. It lasted. Gauge. I'll take the shaman. Two shots. Tricks. He's going to port back up. Yeah, I'm sending some everything. I'm jumping him down, jumping him down. On T, on T. Got it, nice. Peer. Got it. PQA. I can push you, pal. I'm foiled. Nice. Yep. His pet is up top. Fearing. I'm going to nobody's pet. How much damage on this guy? He might just die. Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble. Can you get it? I can blind. Yep. He just blind off. Push it away, push it away. Blind. Chip shot this guy. The rocket. Oh, he knocked me to range. He knocked me into range, so I can shell step. How about that MC? What a guy. That was a beautiful knock. Thank you for last time. See, I said in Q. He's pressing, man.  He's like, yeah, knock. That's a good ring. If he didn't knock, the lock might not die. I think he still dies, but it's not going to be done. Hallow is still in blind for like three sec when the lock died. He was so fucked. But still, you know, it helps. Every little bit helps. So we'll take it. That MC though, Ryan. That was worth something, man. He was already casting at the end of the kidney shot. 100%.  Because he was saving it for the mage, obviously. He can only shock the mage. He's a shaman. It's what they do.


To apply a custom number format to a cell select the cell that you want to format go to the home number general that in the number format section drop down to find the more number format section on the number tab and The category window look down for the custom click it and you open up a window that gives you a sample of the selected cell number and then this is the available types and You can compare in the sample window what each of the types will do to the selected number this one adds a comma I'm going to scroll down and there's a section looks like dates That's a nice format. There's another date format not the one we want Another date format almost but not there Yes Month and year is what we want click okay, and it applies that format to the number Remember Excel doesn't change the underlying number when you format, so it's still 11 1 2002 click on the format button Drag down and the column you want to all have that number format and We have them reformatted there again 11 12 12 1 12 January 1
