The Long View with Neal Milner; New Year’s Eve Fireworks Display; 2016 Hiring Predictions; Maui Artist - Jennifer Stephens
If offered the chance to see your future, would you take it? Many people would and that’s keeping a lot of psychics in business. But for the larger questions of humanity, predicting the future may have a much better chance with Superforecasting. The work of University of Pennsylvania social scientist and psychologist Philip Tetlock is based more in acute awareness than divination. Our resident social scientist and contributing editor, Neal Milner, has had a look and joined The Conversation with his take.

New Year’s Eve Fireworks Display: Tommy Likos
A fireworks display packs a lot of excitement into a relatively short span of time, and those fifteen minutes of spectacle reflect countless hours of planning and preparation. Somebody has to keep track of all the logistics, and this New Year’s Eve in Waikiki that responsibility falls to Tommy Likos and his team. Likos is the Hawai‘i executive producer of shows for Fireworks by Grucci and he joined the show with a look at what it takes to craft a spectacular fireworks display.

Maui Artist: Jennifer Stephens
No artist can match the intricacy of nature’s designs, but all can be inspired by it… and some, like Maui artist Jennifer Stephens, have found ways to merge their designs with the ones nature provides, leading to a result that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Stephens works in collage and mixed media to create images that could only come from an unfettered imagination. She was raised on the island of Maui and studied art at H.P. Baldwin High School under the tutelage of instructor Janet Sato in the AP Art Program. She also operates a gallery, Unique Art Hawaii, and is the founder of CRE8 Magazine.
