 on Spectrum OC16, Hawai'i's weekly newscast on Things that Matter to Tech, and Hawai'i. I'm Nicole Horie. And I'm Marby Kelly. In our show this time, we'll take the time to review the most recent 2018 Top 5 ThinkTech Talkshows and the staff pick. We'll check out the elements of the best of the best, and get a handle on the public issues and the guests involved. ThinkTech produces more than 30 talkshows every week in our downtown studio. They're very diverse, and their coverage is also very diverse, showing you things you might never otherwise know about. Every week, ThinkTech chooses its Top 5 ThinkTech Talkshows from the week before, based on the number of views each of them has had on the internet. For this past week, the winning shows were as follows. Number one, from the series Young Talents Making Way, hosted by Andrea Gabrielli, it's called Beware, with guest Aubrey Davis. It's on our Young Talents Making Way playlist. We mentioned about the importance of bees, the importance of bees in Hawaii, and for economy as well. Maybe we have a slide, I believe, where we're showing a trend. There is a figure that we brought, where we're basically showing, oh, I think here it is. The number of colonies in the United States, basically from 1975 to 2010, I see a sharp decline. Oh, most definitely. I think it's because a lot of the time, we don't technically think about bees because they're these two little centimeter insects that just seem tiny and we don't buzz and sting all the time, but they actually have a greater importance that I didn't even know until I actually researched about it. It tells you that at this current rate, by the year 2035, we might not even have anything to laugh at. Your science project at Sacred Hearts Academy brought you to China as well for an award that you won. You were mentioning something about what we can do, actually, to prevent this decline and try and recovery the populations of bees. What are some of the remedies that people can do to try and change this trend line which we had a look at? So there are a lot of things that we can do, or there's also a lot of things that are being done. So there's a lot of countries have partaken in a bee conservation project of some sort, like North America has this North American pollinator protection campaign type of thing. And what I found really interesting and what I really liked because I feel like that's something that is really easy and that we can incorporate in both public and private schools here on the island is Southern Oregon University and Beesity USA launched a program in April of 2015 called, it's like a Bee Campus USA program where they have like they practice like sustainable farming and planting like more of a variety of plants on like college campuses that will contribute to bringing bees back to the environment. Number two, from the series Asia in Review, it's called What Makes Singapore Changi Airport, the world's best airport, hosted by Lily Ong with guest Topo Ju. It's on our Asia in Review playlist. So other facilities that we have in the airport is we do have massage chairs. So they're all free for use and no need to put any coins. Wonderful. Yeah, so they're all free to use and they are dotted across the entire terminals, all the three, all the four terminals in the airport. So that's what we do to really create that. And these are the high-end OC massages. These are the OC massages. So we work with them and then we put them across. And then certain terminals actually have a full body massage. But those are paid service. Those are also free. Oh, also free. Yes, as long as it's an OC machine and it's part of Changi Airport, it's available for free of use for our passengers. Wonderful. And I saw that there's a Sheila Beauty Lab that offers free makeovers. That's what they do, free makeovers for our passengers. Even in Terminal 3, we have a bar. It's actually managed by the Raffles Long Bar. So they actually can concord the Singapore Sling for you if you're departing. Of course, that's after 3 hours, I mean after 3pm when you depart. You can just show your boarding pass and get a free drink on us. A free Singapore Sling. Free Singapore Sling. Wow. And that's from the authentic Raffles Bar. That's really, that's really. And I read about that's also a Whiskey Bar. Yes, there is a Whiskey Bar. I think they are kind of together. So of course, you know, there is also some distillation so you can see how this Whiskey is being made. I did read that there's over 100 types of whiskeys that's being sold there. And this is a great location because you're receiving a lot of high-end customers and so many nationalities too. And is it true that only Changi is chosen as the particular location to sell special concoction of whisky? I think it's a combination of different reasons. But I guess it's also the availability of a space because even though airport is big but we are running out of realistic space. So anything that we can find, we will work with our vendor to try and put it up. And of course, it's about passengers. Right. Well, I have to imagine this place running out of space because this is so spacious. How big exactly is Changi Airport? I don't know. I don't know how big the exact size but in terms of capacity, for all the four terminals, we can manage up to 85 million passengers per year. So how many? 85 million passengers per year. 85 million passengers and that's including the latest terminal for terminal 4. So which are the different airlines that are coming through? Are there, was there a particular terminal that's dedicated to Singapore Airlines? Singapore Airlines, they fly out of terminal 2 and 3. So it depends on the destination. So for shorter destinations within the service station, they depart from terminal 2 whereas the Long Hall flights are out from terminal 3. Number 3, from the series Cyber Underground, it's called Using Social Media Apps, Pros and Cons, hosted by Rachelle Mantelungen with guests CJ Ryoka, Ashlyn Miyashiro, and Jack Giardina. It's on our Cyber Underground playlist. I would say think twice about what you're going to post and then think again. I use a lot of Twitter. Okay, I use Twitter. I've never, well, I've tweeted a few times but really I just use it for information gathering purposes. I mean I read some sports but it is truly amazing what you can pull off of Twitter whether you're mining data or you're just using keyword searches. You know, if I'm researching a particular topic or I'm just being nosy about somebody, I mean you can spend 10 minutes on Twitter and find out more than you ever would have dreamed. And I think Twitter is pretty hot right now as far as being in the news because of our current administration and they're using it differently and it's, yeah, Twitter is a big one for me. Yes, I remember you doing that in our data base class, right? Data mining? Yeah. Oh wow. Yes, in the data mining class. Shout out to Dale. What about you, Ashlyn? I just think like, especially when you put like, I mean posting for sure but like when you put your interest, like some might be kind of like, maybe you shouldn't say that, right? I mean you are you but you shouldn't say that in public. Right. Yeah, that's kind of scary. Or even, I kind of shy away from putting where I work. Because I've had people where they contact me like, oh you worked at So-and-So? I worked there too but I found out later they didn't work there. You know, it's like, oh, that's kind of... Oh yes. So there's a lot of cyber stuff. Yeah, so she needed you exactly. Yeah. I think location settings and location in general, that is a huge one. Yeah. Because if you use it a lot, depending on how you use it, that location service turned on, I mean that's just like a homing device that you're attaching to yourself 24 hours a day. Yeah. And that can be dangerous for people gathering information about you and you might not want anyone to know that. Right. That's number one for me. Right. Does Snapchat make you do that now? It makes you do that. Oh yeah, I remember when that came out. Yeah, it would map out all your friends on the US or you know the Hawaii Island. And you could see where... What? No, you could see where your friend Tom is at 3 p.m. He's at Starbucks or something or in Kampalei. Yeah, it's really funny. I never knew that. Number four from the series Hispanic Hawaii. It's called Dr. Stets' courageous positive attitude battle against cancer with hosts Richard Concepcion and guest Melba Stets, Ph.D. It's on our Hispanic Hawaii playlist. Cancer is no guarantee that it's going to be cured. I don't think so. You can talk to other people. They're going to say miraculously they're cured, whatever. I don't believe it. They're cells. And for example in my case that it was in one breast and here under the armpit I decided the other breast too because cells can move in seconds. So why would I do that? Only take this away and have to come back two years later maybe and take the other breast, right? So prophylactically I don't take everything away. Males here in Hawaii, prostate cancer, colon cancer is a big thing but people don't get checked. A lot of... I'm not saying here in Hawaii but at least in Puerto Rico a lot of machismo. I don't need to check my prostate, okay? Then you might lose and you might lose your life too. So how do we get checked? We just go to the doctor and request... Yes, you say you're educated and you say my family like I always said about my family you always say your family has this history please just screen me and they'll screen you before it's too late. Wow. You can lose not only those organs but your life as well. So let me ask you how do you stay so motivated because I always think about you sometime when I got a headache or my back hurt all the day when I was getting with my daughter I fell and as soon as I fell on the ground and I need to take a break but I thought about you and say this is nothing and she's going through cancer and she is an inspiration to keep myself motivated. How do you do it every day? What is the secret? Oh, thank you. My father was very positive. My mother, my family in the army was like suck it up and drive on, you know that? Yes. I mean I jumped from planes, I did different things so I think I've always been in that same motto and that's what I help people with peak performance because I'm like what are we going to do? I mean we have times to ventilate and feel sad and down completely understood but then if you're going to do it again like I don't see clients that come every week to complain to me. No, you complain but you're trying to work on something. I think while you complain about things and get out of your system and share and kumbaya and everything you should also be thinking about okay what can I do about it? Be responsible about it. So I just think God gave me this life. I'm still alive. There's a reason for me to be here not just to be sucking oxygen. Number five from the series Humane Architecture is called Peter Shee's Exotic Entrepreneurship with Martin de Speng and guest Peter Shee. It's on our Humane Architecture playlist. This building is actually we're using the concrete block which is on the table and they call it double eye. Double eye. There's a groove on either side. You can put the temperature steel and the vertical steel you can just pan the beam because the cell is small all you need is peak gravel you put inside and put the gravel down and pull it out. So the whole thing instead of eight inches wide can be just six inches and it's much stronger than regular. The whole top and bottom is grind smooth. So when you put epoxy, two bead on epoxy like this like a toothpaste. Absolutely. In one hour the whole thing is I hear into one unit. Absolutely. So very efficient way to put up something. What a great arcaneering innovation. And so is the next one. If you can get the next picture you're also cultivating something that you call Tildup and this article we also have to give credits to basically Matt Moy who was providing articles from the archives about your work. And this is something explain a little bit in two sentences what Tildup is Peter. Tildup is instead of have a concrete poured with a vertical form on both sides that means if the wall is 28 feet you have the wall, the plywood come down plywood come down and pour it inside. And once you pour it inside it's hard because aggregate will be on the bottom of it and very hard to vibrate. So if we have the concrete floor on the outside why can't we put a brown breaker on the ground and pour it four inches curved pour the slab on the ground and just lift it up. It's much faster. As a matter of fact every concrete wall can be poured on the ground each one just keep on and lift it up like a Tildup. And then you pour concrete plaster which is collium and block them together. All the reinforcing steel will be matched together. The whole thing becomes one entity and it's easier way to construct and very fast. And in the best tradition of Hawaiians who have always shared their best things tracing way back you also exported that technology all the way back to another thing we share to Nebraska. We also have a staff pick. This time it's from the series Finding Respect in the Chaos and it's called Tap Outdating Violence with host Cynthia Leeson-Clear and guest Kausha Spellman and Lydia Grasso. Our Finding Respect in the Chaos playlist. When you look at statistics in the Hawaii Youth Risk Behavior survey you see that boys are experiencing it at rates that most people wouldn't even believe. They are experiencing dating violence as the victim or survivor at rates that most people don't even believe and so it is really our I believe our responsibility as a program to make sure that young boys, young masculine individuals, young male identified individuals feel comfortable coming forward at the same rates that feminine or female identified individuals feel comfortable coming forward and that's a responsibility of all but especially for the young people. I agree. I think that's great that you guys are doing that because I know that some of the outreach programs that I have seen don't include and aren't so inclusive and they're not as effective as our questioning in an open way now where they didn't used to be able to do that and so I think that's really important to be able to get out there. So you guys have been around since 1999 who was the one who first came out with all this? Whose idea was it? Do you know? Well I mean I think it was pretty collaborative at Domestic Violence Action Center but I know the former VP of the COE department don't ask me what the COE stands for I think it's Community Outreach Education Community Outreach Education Department within DVAC was the one who she helped develop many of the programs that are at Domestic Violence Action Center and so she was really instrumental. Interestingly enough though Kaylee the guy that everyone just saw Oh right and I forgot to introduce him I'm sorry Kaylee the other outreach educator he has actually been with Domestic Violence Action Center and the teen program for almost 13 years now. So is it almost 13 or almost 14? He's coming up on either 13 or 14 years so he's been around almost since the beginning so he's seen a lot of changes a lot of the trends change he's been around for a lot of that so it's unfortunate yeah he couldn't be on here today to share how some of the trends have changed over the years because they really have. Next show because I want you guys to come back again give me an update about how things are going and the kind of progress you guys are making because I know it's going to be amazing absolutely amazing.

Let's think together. And now here's this week's thinktec commentary. Can you do the impossible? What does impossible really mean? Is anything truly impossible? Humans can't fly but the Wright brothers proved an airplane could get as close enough. When I think about the impossible I don't really worry much about the undoable. I know I can't jump off a cliff and start flying. I know I can't close my eyes and teleport myself to China. Picture for a second your own life and your own dreams. What are those things that you've always wanted to do that seem completely impossible? Now hold that thought for a second. Is it actually impossible? Or does it just feel impractical because you don't think you can't do it? Possible for someone else perhaps but not for you? There's the problem. And the solution believe it or not isn't all that complicated. It's commitment. The number one thing you must have in order to do the impossible is commitment. It comes before planning and action and everything else. It's the hardest thing to come by but without it all else is wasted. So what is commitment? Miriam Webster defines it as the state of being obligated or emotionally compelled. Commitment in my mind is the resolution to succeed. It's the burning desire that absolutely has to be present in order to do your impossible. It's the drive that keeps you moving forward when defeat looks certain. It's your obligation to risk everything for success because living without it seems pointless. When you commit, you have to commitment to do. You can't commit to try. Committing to try doesn't work. Committing to try means you'll give it your best and if it doesn't work out it's meant to be. When you're doing the impossible things don't work out because you tried they work out because you kept trying and never give up. What does it take to commit? Clearly the main reason people are afraid to commit is to something is because they don't know what it will require. It's never completely obvious what you're signing up for. You might think that if you really want something then it shouldn't work. The cost does matter. So what is the actual cost? Sure in any commitment whether it's business or personal there's a leap into the uncertain but the idea that there's no way to know what's required is more of an excuse than a real barrier. Those are the questions you have to ask yourself. When you come to a conclusion it's a lot easier to look at your face that's worth it or no I'm not willing to pay that price. Either answer is fine but making that decision based on real analysis instead of fear is important. So my friends can you do the impossible? Let me know.
