Okay, we're back, we're talking about options. I'm Jay Fidel, this is doing energy, Hawaii, the state of clean energy with Eric Kvan. And we're talking to him today about his energy law services, D-E-R, does that mean distributed energy resources? Yes, that's correct. It's a monthly report. Distributed energy resources. Welcome to the show, Eric. This is not the first time. We love Eric. He's out there analyzing and researching and spreading his analysis to the community. We really appreciate that. Thank you, Jay. Thank you. So tell us how you spend your day writing reports like that. How I started was going down to the PUC because I was curious, like, what are the rules? What kinds of decisions is the PUC making? And this is before everything was online. Now you can access all the reports and the filings online. But when I started out, which was actually 11 years ago doing that, yes. You look pretty good for the wear then, so to speak. Thank you. Thank you so much. So I was photocopying decisions and orders of the PUC to figure out what's going on because it presents as a very complex picture. Where does one start in doing that? And so the D-E-R report is a culmination of a lot of study over the years to try to present a coherent picture so that we understand something fundamental such as what is the utility's planning process? How do they go about making the plans that they've made and submitted to the Public Utilities Commission? So in the first part of the report, I talk about that. What is the utility's planning process? I mean internally. How they formulate these plans? Well, that's a very interesting question because in the report, there's actually two planning processes. There's the internal one and then there's the one that they're ordered to do by the Public Utilities Commission. I knew I was going to like this show. I'm already liking it plenty. Go ahead, Eric. So in the first part of it, I talk about the planning process and the plans that they've been ordered to make by the Public Utilities Commission. And we were talking a little bit before. I was thinking about a point that Mark O. Mangelsdorf made when he was here on the show on Monday. I watched that program and a point he's made before about this disconnect because right now the PSIP for the most recent one submitted provides for about 70 megawatts of distributed PV here in Oahu during this year, during 2017. And at the same time, we have a PV industry that's seeing its new orders plummet as revealed by Mark O's figures on permit applications. When we attend DER meetings, one hears the reasons why we can't really do that now. And yet here's the plan that says 72. So what's come into my mind recently is understanding what is the source of that disconnect, okay? Why are we getting plans that are very ambitious and yet what we don't see are decisions to implement what's in the plans? Doesn't the PSAP have implementation provisions? Well, I talk about that in the longer brief that I wrote in the PSIP docket. It breaks the topic into, in the PSPs, they have what are called the resource plans, which are the set of options going into the future that they might want to implement.  And when you study the action plan is a plan separate from the resource plan. In other words, the resource plan does not have in it a step for actually implementing the options in it. And when you study the action plan, okay, basically it lists, it says that we're going to continue doing the things that we've been doing or that we're already committed to doing. But it's not connected directly to implementing that to the options in the resource plan. Can we back up a little bit? What is the expectation here as far as the PUC is concerned? I mean, they ordered this PSIP and we've waited a long time for everything to gel. There were some rejections by the PUC of earlier plans. That's correct. So here we are and it's sitting there and nobody knows but maybe some deity when exactly it'll be approved or even responded to. But what is the expectation of the PUC? What do they want from this plan? Oh, the PUC wants plans containing energy options that will actually get implemented. Okay, that's what the PUC wants. That's what everyone, that's what everyone wants. Options and then a choice of options and then the plan to actually implement that choice. Right, they want, well, they want to see implementation of options. They don't want to see a plan for implementation. They want to see the actual implementation. But they want to approve it too. Right, they want to be convinced that, and this has been shifting in the different plans that have come along, okay. In the past, they said, well, give us a reasonable plan. And they said that in IRP, they said it in the first two rounds. Did you use the word reasonable just now? A reasonable plan. A reasonable plan. A reasonable plan. You and I are both lawyers. Right. You have a lot of experience in law and language. Reasonable is a very hard word because nobody knows exactly what it means. Well, what it, and I, in my report, I talk about what that means to me and what it means to the people at the utility who are the people, you know, told to deliver a reasonable plan. And in fact, they've done that. They've done it three times. They've done it a fourth time in the most recent PSIP. And what happened in the order leading up to this most recent PSIP was the commission started inserting the word optimal into their order. That's a word just like reasonable, I think. Right. But it has a different meaning. Okay. It's more than reasonable. Right. It means the best. Okay. Not just something that's okay, but the best. The best in the circumstances. Right. Optimal is not an absolute. Right. Oh, no. It's the best. Yeah. It's the best in the circumstances presented, of course. And this requires a whole lot of discussion about what those circumstances are. Exactly. Exactly. So, where to go with it? Well, what do they expect? Okay. What do they expect is that, let's talk about what they want. Okay. Again, what they want is a plan that they feel confident the utility people are going to actually implement, that they're going to implement the options in their plan. And so, what it comes down to is the planning process that's used to create the plan. The Public Utilities Commission orders plans, but what they haven't focused on yet is the planning process used to make the plans. They say, give us plans, okay, that we feel confident you're going to implement. And what they haven't done is they haven't focused on the process to make the plans that have been delivered to them. Internally. The process within the utility or some other process? No, just the process to make the plans that have been ordered. Remember, this is sort of like... Utility is making the plans. Utility is... So, it must be the process inside the utility. Well, I want to be clear about, because we talked before about two planning processes. An internal one and the one for the PUC. You could call it maybe an external planning process because there's a lot of public stakeholder input, things like that. It's ordered by the PUC. It's all... The transparency part. It's all out in the open, okay? When I talk about the internal planning process, I mean the planning process by which the utility people are actually evaluating options. Not because the PUC ordered them to, but because they want to have their own sense. Does this make sense for us? Do we want to implement this? What are the benefits going to be for the customers, the ratepayers? And what they do to make decisions to actually implement energy options. And that's the second part of my DER report. I talk about, let's look at all the categories of DER options, actually all the categories of renewable energy options, and let's look at how that utility actually, separate from the PUC-driven process, is actually evaluating these categories of options. Can you say options, you mean types of renewable energy? Right, right. And the way I break it down in my report is that you have energy options. They fall in four broad categories, which are generation, grid, T and D, transmission, distribution, energy storage, and demand-side management. And then that further breaks down into basically the imported fuel generation options. Imported petroleum, imported coal, imported, whatever, LNG. And then everything else is a renewable energy option. Everything else, including all of the renewable generation options, and basically all the other options that fall in the categories of energy storage, and T and D, and demand-side management, they're actually all mitigation options. What do you mean mitigation? In other words, you're able to put more renewable generation on the grid because you have your shifting load or demand to meet that generation, or you're shifting the generation, say with energy storage, to meet the load. And because that's what... So you're negotiating between the two parts of the supply-demand card. Right, right. Well, not the... Yeah, but from a physical point of view, right? Load always has to balance generation, otherwise your grid doesn't work, right? So this is the physical engineering... And that's what I mean by mitigation. Right, that's what I mean by mitigation. And so there's lots and lots of categories of mitigation options. And when you look at that, when I study what the utilities... How they're actually evaluating them, what you see is that for many categories, they're doing some analysis of... If we implement this energy option, here's how we can expect it to work with the grid. Does it improve the performance of the grid, the reliability of the grid? Or do we need more things to make it work with the grid? So for example, it might be possible to put on 100 megawatts of distributed export PV on the grid, but if you want to put another 100 beyond that, you're not going to be able to do that from a physical point of view, keep the grid operating without adding a mitigation option. And that mitigation option might be things like advanced inverters, it might be energy storage, it might be going out to the substations and putting in different transformers. There's lots of options. So we would expect, the PUC would expect that the utility will check out all these options and some of them will be options that don't work, that will not work, straw options if you will. And we'll look at that option and say, you know, all the things considered, that's not going to work. So we're not going to consider that. And this one has parameters, we have to be more than this and less than that, then it will work and so forth. And each option is evaluated in context of all the other options and then at some point there's the apotheosis, right? And what I mean by that is you bring them all together and say, well, this is what we want to do and this is why. Right. Okay. So you just shifted from, I was talking about the internal kind of evaluation that the utility actually does and you shifted it to what the PUC might expect the utility to be doing. Right. If they don't like it, they won't approve it. Right. If they don't approve it, it would be stuck in the doldrums yet again. Right. And that makes me, gives me a headache on both sides, thinking about that possibility and when I have a headache like that, Eric, I've got to take a break. Okay. We'll take a break. You're watching Think Tech Hawaii, citizen journalism from Hawaii, finding the intersection of our sense of place and our place in the world right here at home. Great content for Hawaii from Think Tech. Aloha, Howard Wigg. I am the proud host of Code Green, Think Tech Hawaii. I appear every other Monday at three in the afternoon. Do not tune in in the morning. My topic is energy efficiency. It sounds dry as heck, but it's not. We're paying $5 billion a year for imported oil. My job is to shave that, shave that, shave that down in homes and buildings while delivering better comfort, better light, better air conditioning, better everything. So if you're interested in your future, you'd better tune in to me, three o'clock every other Monday, Code Green, Aloha, and thank you very much. Okay. We're having a study of logic. Here on energy, Hawaii, the state of clean energy with Eric Kvam of the Hawaii Energy Law Services, and they have just, he has just issued a DER report two weeks ago talking about in large part the PSIP planning that's going on that was submitted at the end of December by the utility to the PUC, subject to the PUC's approval, and I hope that happens soon. Anyway, so the question you raised, which Marco Mangelsdorf raised on Monday of this week, is exactly how can you, as the plan does, how can you suggest all these grand increases in solar energy, rooftop solar energy, when in fact the energy installer industry is going, is well, decompensating right now. Right. Who's going to do it? How's it going to happen? Who's going to come to make it happen? Is this possible? Was this considered when the PSIP was written to include all that additional rooftop solar energy? Right. What happened? Well, to get to an answer to that, it helps to understand how the PSIP was made. Okay. What was the planning process used to make that? And in the report, what I talk about is I break it down to its simplest steps, which is that the utility engineers are told, give us, told by the PUC, give us a reasonable plan. And so that gets us to 100% renewable energy. And those are the marching orders. Those are the marching orders, okay? And so they say, hmm, okay, that's a problem. How do we get to 100% renewable energy? Ah, we'll make a plan. And so they use their intuition, okay, which is how engineers usually solve problems. They start with their intuition, right? They use... Doesn't everybody? Yeah, but let me kind of like flesh this out. So they start by intuiting the benefits of those many, many categories of renewable energy options that are available to them, okay? And based on their intuition about the benefits, they sit down and say, okay, let's compose some plans that we think might work. And so they say, well, they look at the load profile and they say, well, right now, it's all these layers of firm generation and then as available generation and peaking generation, things like that. And we're just going to use our intuition to imagine what to imagine, what sets, what kinds of renewable energy options will still allow the grid to work, okay, to match generation and load and maintain frequency and voltage. And they come up with all kinds of candidate plans based on their intuition. And those candidate plans are combinations, sets of options. And then they look at those plans and they say, well, we don't know what the future holds. The cost of everything is going to change. There's so many variables, there's literally an infinitude of variables. So we're going to, again, use our intuition, select nine or ten or eleven of those variables, make forecasts about them, okay, run our candidate plans through computer models and see how they perform under all these forecasts, under all these guests, I call them informed guesses. They are informed and they are guesses. And then they say to themselves, okay, we can throw out some of them, it's not working. But and then from among the ones that do work with the grid and that look reasonable, okay, especially in terms of their cost, we're going to pick one and that's our resource plan. So they're going to use their intuition to select the resource plan. So the process begins with the intuiting benefits, intuiting the composition of the plan, informed guessing about that, and intuiting the selection of the final resource plan. And by the way, my guess is that there are all kinds of consultants, advisors, all kinds of people to consult with whom they pay and these people are all of the mainland and not just here. So my reaction to that, I'm not sure where your reaction is, but my reaction is that sounds perfectly reasonable to me. It is reasonable, absolutely. It's reasonable and that's why they can generate a 2000 page plan and say, you know, accurately to the Public Utilities Commission, you've asked us to give you a reasonable plan, here's our reasonable plan because the engineers and the planners that put together that plan, they can agree among themselves that, well, your intuition about what's a candidate plan is reasonable, okay. You can agree that mine is. We can come into agreement and to consensus among the people making the piece of plan that this is a reasonable approach. You know, it reminds me of that old thing in the law practice where they used to say, reasonable men can differ, reasonable women also. Reasonable men and women can differ. And so my question to you is the 2000 pages, which I'm sure you looked at in order to write your report, do you agree? Is it something, is your recommendation right here today, Eric Vam, that the PUC approve this plan as a reasonable plan? Yes, it was. That's in my piece of brief. I recommended that they approve it as a reasonable plan. Well, I guess that show is over then. Yeah. Okay. Why do you feel that way? Because there are other options, perhaps, that are not as reasonable, that are not within the kind of analysis that the utility is presumably expert in making. Well, the simplest way I can articulate it is this way, okay? Is that it's a reasonable plan. It expresses what the utility people might want, okay? It's what they might want. And so the caveat to being reasonable is that it does not express what they actually want. And because it doesn't express what they actually want, because they're not in consensus about what they actually want, there's no consensus to actually implement the options that are in the plan. So yes, it's a reasonable plan, it complies, and it doesn't get us to that implementation.  This is the kind of thing that happened in the next era approval process, where virtually anybody who wanted to say anything could come in, and there was a wing in balancing. And I have a lot of problem with that, if you want to know myself personally, because I think it slows everything down, and then you have this very difficult task of evaluating what real input are you getting, how much of it is twisted, how much of it is for the common good, how much of it is the kind that you need to consider in making a working plan. So I guess you're worried or concerned about not allowing as much or more of that kind of input into this plan, right? No, I wouldn't say that's my concern. I mean, everyone's got opinions, everyone's got beliefs, okay. On the renewable side, there's the general focus for the renewable industry as stakeholders in this process is to focus on the options that are contained in the plan, because what do we want to do? We want to sell. We want to sell these options. We want to see them implemented. And so there's a focus on, is this a plan that's actually going to get implemented, and hence Marko's concern, right? We don't see the implementation happening right now. Well his concern was that, how can you build 70 megawatts without an industry to build it? Right, right. And the lines go down this way, but you're assuming they go up that way. So what's wrong with this? But the other part, which I'd like to catch on for a minute, and that is there are people out there, you know, I'm sure you can find somebody who will oppose any plan. They will come in for their own reasons, maybe environmental, cultural, what have you. They will oppose a plan because they, because you can. And then you have to evaluate whether that's a real opposition or something waste time. And so, you know, I'm just wondering, do you think, Eric, that you need to have public buy-in on the plan for the plan to be implement, implementatable? Do you have to have that? Do you have to have the public?  Okay. Well, what I think is necessary, okay, is that there be consensus among the people at the utility that this plan is not just reasonable, but that it's optimal. In other words, there's an agreement among the people that here's our plan, a set of energy options going into the future. And we've looked at, we've evaluated all the options in the plan. We've evaluated the ones that didn't make it into the plan. And we are confident that this first option, the second and third one, are the ones that deliver the optimal benefits that are the greatest benefits. We know that. We feel confident about that because we've compared them to everything else in a way they can be compared. And so we can say we're going to do this one, this one, this one, the first set of them. And now you've got consensus among the people at the utility that they actually want it, okay? You get passed. This is very important. It's central. You get passed, this is stuff we might want to, this is stuff we actually want. We agree. We agree. And so to answer your question, once the utility people are in that consensus and they can show to the PUC, here's the plan, continue the options. And here's why we want this particular option, okay? And why it belongs there and the amount it is and the order it is. Then the PUC can understand and appreciate that, yeah, that does make the best sense. And then everyone else, all of us other stakeholders, we also can look at that and say, okay, now we understand why you selected that, why you selected that option for your plan because we can see your evaluation of the key benefits, which are system performance benefits, economic benefits. But on that side, you're never going to get agreement. You might get agreement on the utility side where all the people involved agree. You might get agreement on the three people on the PUC, but you'll never get public agreement. There will always be reasonably men or maybe unreasonable men and women differing. So if you test the success of the plan on that, we don't get it done. Well, right now it's practically impossible to have a conversation about what to do, okay? Because none of us are working from a set of evaluations that looks at options, okay, in a way they can be compared. So people offer opinions like, this is the best option, but if the utility isn't doing a baseline evaluation of, here's how this particular option looks from a system performance point of view, from an economic point of view. You see your matrix. You have a matrix. So everybody can see that you examined it all. Exactly. And you're comparing and contrasting. Before we close, we only have a minute left. I just want to raise one thing, and that is this, we've had so much delay in arriving at this point. I feel that in the modern, in the 21st century, things can and should move faster. I also feel that plans like this have to be subject to change because- Oh, absolutely. You can't operate intuition for 30 years. You can't do that. So what you need to do is remain nimble and say every next year that we're going to look at it again, we're going to adjust it, tune it, whatever, all that stuff. The problem is that if you take five or six years to make the damn plan in the first place, how can you be nimble going forward to tune it? You'll take every five years, you'll have this kind of angst, this kind of experience, and you won't be able to tune it sufficiently quickly. That's why you need to focus, I would suggest, you need to focus on creating a planning process that takes what you said into account. There it is. There it is. There's the message. The part by role of our show, you've got to create a planning process that will allow you to be nimble. Exactly. Yeah, that's key. Thank you, Erin. It's wonderful to talk to you. Reach that conclusion.


Welcome to the Donahue Group. You're back and we're back for another half hour of conversation that's meant to shake the world Okay, not but in any event. I have some very relaxed gentlemen with me today people Cal Potter retired state senator Tom Paneski professor of mathematics, and I'm sure you're working this summer Hardly working a little laid off a little we're laid off. We'd like to go north. There's nobody here as associate That's right. So and teacher Ken Risto just free and easy. I'm Mary Lee Johnny Hugh I'm working as a lawyer for O'Neill Cannon Holman D young it keeps me busy But in any event we're happy to have you join us There's a number going down the screen Well, you know in the last episode we did you know to sponsor the the lobster boil Oh, no, you know we shan't do that. No, no, no, no, no, no But in any event I want to pay tribute to someone that I never agree with on anything And his wife Terry and Mary Kohler There was a wonderful series of articles in the journal Sentinel And I know I might be a little sentimental for it little anthropomorph occasion going on here But mahal this really adorable orangutan was flown from the Colorado Zoo where he had been rejected by Moms and surrogates enough to break your heart and flown out to the Milwaukee Zoo where he's doing fine And so I think we should thank Terry and Mary and they often do these kinds of humanitarian Things that are a little off the radar screen that you don't see other people similarly situated normally doing so I think they both deserve some credit for that So there you're here. All right. I just hope Terry doesn't run and run him for office. I Think that there's some candidates that mahal could do very well up against He's absolutely adorable and from what I understand from the article is from an orangutan point of view From it's that anthropomorphizing.  Okay, well, they're 98 percent similar as human beings We don't want to admit it exactly Exactly. So in any event, I'm gonna move right along here. So I'm gonna sneak evolution and look out. Yeah So I'm not held up to any abuse or scorn here Wisconsin's not doing a very good job of eliminating cell phone use while you're driving Apparently any legislative efforts to have that happen have been shot down in flames California has just implemented And Is this an issue whose time will come in Wisconsin I must say as we were driving back from the fireworks this van made an extremely dangerous Why turn in the middle of the street? The car coming forward almost hit him and as he's turning around his own phone I noticed he just happened to be on the telephone. I Get kind of wild about it, but I think it'll happen the band. I Think if we have enough Studies and there have been several showing that there is a higher incident of accidents I think eventually the evidence will be there that you can't refute it I mean, it's not going to go in the other direction people are gonna become safer It's gonna we're gonna have some kids killed or some I saw a lady in front of me the other day She had a big dog on her lap talking and driving a car and I said what a kid right in front of this car I mean, there's no way this woman is going to be able to stop or even notice the kid She doesn't need an airbag Well enough anecdotes, but interestingly enough and the hands-free Systems have been selling briskly in states where where it's against the law now to hold a cell phone But the theory is that it's actually the activity of thinking you're talking and communicating with people Is is more difficult.  So your ability to drive is significantly reduced when you're yabbering on the telephone It's different than listening to the radio, which is more of a passive exercise.  I think they do text messaging, too And so they're and they're reading their texts, you know, they're They're good with their one hand and they're reading and why aren't they reading does Dayevsky? You know, that's what I want to know So that's using the I guess that's the same part of the brain if you're communicating you're not talking you're texting The reality is some people don't start very much with very much between their ears and if they're 32% diminished I Got for Christmas now watch your back as you leave I got for Christmas one of those GPS things that you know tell you where you go, you know And so you've got this woman telling you what to do. That's not that's okay But if you're not I found cuz you're so used to that. Well, I yeah But beyond that is the little screen you watch yourself on the road the map You start watching that map and pretty soon You're not watching what's going on around you at all and I finally simply had to get off the side I Grief back the car out of the quick bed And the woman's like you're in the ditch Which is sort of like having your wife next year. She's telling you the same thing Yes, and you see I just wanted to give you that line so that you could take advantage of it and buy Jinkies you did Um drinking is a problem in not yet Series in the press is not surprising. Oh, yeah To collect German culture is known for years to be the tavern is the old meeting place, you know the beer hall and But people used to walk home. I used to walk home though And I think you know we'd say they're sure exciting now this number of taverns per person I would think shaboy against probably less taverns today than you know, 30 40 years ago. Absolutely Person we rank fourth And in the nation, Wisconsin, who's one do you know who's one Vermont Vermont well, I suppose a lot of people Vermont has the most Other populations Delaware's third and South Carolina is second and North Dakota South Carolina would never have guessed in a southern state new definition of Bible Belt Well, I do give the press credit because I think it's a I mean, it's an important topic we talk about drug abuse all the time But people never consciously draw the line between drug abuse and alcohol and alcohol Along with cigarettes are clearly the two most dangerous drugs that are in widespread use and that cause widespread deaths The average estimate is that 400,000 people die every year in the United States from alcohol abuse and about 4,000 die of marijuana abuse and how many families are torn apart through domestic abuse and child abuse and all Yeah, and not to Not to in any way, you know minimize, you know the effect of any illegal substances, but I Mean if we use the same the same thought pattern then we clearly shouldn't make both alcohol and cigarettes Illegal drugs because of the the devastation that they that they that they bring to a community or have laws that Are stringent enough to reflect the seriousness of the crime for years, Wisconsin was at at point one five For its intoxication level and it was like heresy to suggest it ought to be point one all and the national government Of course was setting the standard at 08 a long time ago Right, you know why didn't Wisconsin move well because of the drinking culture in this state? And now look at how many people are under fifth six seven drunk driving conviction I mean, I haven't simply for somebody like that. They ought to be thrown in a jail and throw away the key for a while But you know, why is it that we coddle people for so many years in our laws? It's because of the prevalence of drinking, you know politicians pandered to Constituency well if you're selecting a jury and you're asking questions you can ask, you know your potential jurors How many of you been convicted of armed robbery? Please raise your hand.  How many of you have ever driven under the influence? all, you know, you know 15 out of 25 hands go up and and it's because it is something that you know sadly happens and People are put in prison or whatever and there's no treatment so they come out and they Reoffend and so it it really is a hard problem But I do think the press has served a purpose here by by at least bringing it into some sort of Sharp relief when I was a lawyer doing Reviews of people who are protectively placed in nursing homes. It was called a watts review. It was required still is And I was amazed at reviewing the records of these very old people in nursing homes record after record after record talking about alcohol abuse in the family and I mean it was absolutely prevalent in This area I think I mean at least you know anecdotally based on these records that I've been reviewing in such so Tom well, one of the things we were talking about taxes and the article did also say which state had the lowest Taxes on beer in which states had the highest taxes on beer the states with the highest taxes are Alaska and Hawaii believe it or not and The states with the the top two states with the lowest taxes one of them is number one is Wyoming and number two is Wisconsin Wisconsin So we have the lowest tax rate so I guess that's always an issue with Many times when the budget was being stressed and we needed to come up with money somebody would say well Let's go from two dollars to three and oh the ceiling came in, you know, no you can't do that People who are at the corner tavern won't vote for us anymore. You know, well the breweries. I remember that discussion When I was much younger man We were tend when I was tending bar to get through college Anytime that was proposed in the legislature got close to a consideration The our beer distributors came out with very high glossy little tents that they wanted us to put on on the bars And the tabletops along the restaurants to say, you know, they're about to tax beer It's and it's going to cost you, you know much much much more, you know to buy You know your beer your wine whatever it is and people just you know just were outraged by that you were saying before we went on the air that That the beer tax has not been increased in I believe I believe it's it goes back many decades I thought it was way back to 30s But two dollars has been on the books for many many years really yes per barrel not a not a case a barrel Wow, wow. Yeah, and a half barrel is quite a bit of beer Yeah, but but beers but distributors and everything they sponsor Baseball teams softball teams. They they they Contribute to quite a few athletic events or other kind of events helping various groups And so, you know Well, and I think that's with most things I mean whoever thought that we could really entertain a Band on smoking that would be fairly widespread and I think just society Changes after a while and things that we're talking comes from awareness and education And I think the series of these articles is very very helpful I you know eventually we need to have national health care and if we really are honest about it We ought to start looking at some of the risk activities and see if we can't generate some of the revenue for the health care plan From that there's no reason why we couldn't have five dollars on a barrel of beer and another 25 cents in a pack of cigarettes And maybe 10 cents in a big Mac or something and slow But surely you could raise the money to provide everybody with health care in this country And nobody would be any worse for it health wise right exactly and maybe just a little bit better off sure interesting well, I Again the the graph that was on the Sunday paper toward the back was just and I think that's where many of your statistics are coming For all the numbers in a spreadsheet Shifting them around I just I like to play with numbers. So there you go Math ties on vacation. So but in any event well, we'll we'll have more to say about that. I I I'm saying it out loud. How many people here are upset about the fact that Brett Favre might be coming back to play for the Packers I'm just I just love the the media hype and it's like this girlfriend that keeps leaving you You finally just think you get over and then she's back I mean, I hear tell I can't speak for first Exactly, this is what I've been told Exactly, but there's all sorts of rumors going out of Green Bay, you know all through this whole process that He didn't necessarily really come to this decision on his own of his own We free will there's been all sorts of rumors that he was sort of given a little little helping hand toward that decision Really? Yeah, there's some of that going on whether it's true or not I don't you know, I nobody knows but and the other thing is I think this is just a guy who's you know Been in the media spotlight for a long long long long time and then pretty soon.  This is just breaking The speaking of talking just about silly things Do you think that the assembly will be able to the Democrats will be able to take the assembly back? They're very optimistic, and I think on numbers looks good. There are three seats short of Establishing a majority and if you look at how well Obama is doing in Wisconsin and several of the swing states. He's doing well and there is a coattail There's a noise a lot, but there is coattails I think I Think there's a good chance of it Especially if Obama does very well in the state and the fact that the one of the things that Democrats have done in their Confidence is they've recruited candidates. I believe in 94 95 other 99 districts, which means The incumbents Republican incumbents are gonna have to stay close to home And so they're gonna have to tend to their own district rather out there helping their colleagues in these targeted districts So I think the logistical effort out there is it looks good for the Democrats I noted that John Gard has filed a declaration of candidacy against Steve Kagan on the elections board site Guard that did not have his nomination papers and when I checked yesterday, but of course I'm sure right now is a very busy time at the government accountability board, but I am I Think Kagan is okay. I don't think guard can mount a good challenge or Well, it's supposedly one of the top three races for the Republicans in the country So the right? Oh, I did not know the resources are being targeted. I would say that If the dirty campaigns have any effect, it's gonna be a close race because Kagan is targeted It's it's just interesting to see because he beat guard by a bit didn't he it was not a squeaker So but he didn't have a record. He was just I know local doctors now. He's got all these roll call boats I know you know what the 32nd ad can do to a roll call boat Exactly, exactly and the lesson of modern politics, I think And I think I think McKean will do well in Brown County. Oh I think you will and so that co-telefactor talking about might help guard as well Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see how the political landscape plays out Across the state, but I think that race will be one of the most interesting And energy costs, you know have another different a face in Wisconsin.  I'm gonna have a real sticker shock That's what it's gonna cost them to heat their home So they're gonna be have another way of being ticked off against whoever they want to be ticked off against Yeah, and of course the Republican response is just drill more. So I mean, I Public bad public policy gets made in times of Of great need and some panic and a sense of crisis and it is a crisis for a lot of people But it's their own fault. I mean you remember what Jimmy Carter talked about energy sufficiency Self-sufficiency many years ago. They laughed at him. You know, who's this green guy here talking about these type of things? Talking to us in a cart again. Yeah, yeah, I remember that speech from the White House There was a fella on public radio this morning who said that North Dakota just North Dakota If you put up, I believe he said 100,000 windmills in North Dakota enough electricity for the entire United States and You could tell this guy was a dreamer, but on the other hand He's talking about just building these enormous windmills Which of course are now like oil cranes or the oil Derrick's that's it. I mean, they're they're big. They're noisy They're majestic Cousin heirs for birds. Yeah, put them in California. They got the Santa Ana winds Well, and there are I mean there's migratory bird pattern issues. I know But there are also tons of windmills in in in California You know, you come over those bleached brown hills and they're just fields and fields of them up on the rid And it is kind of neat to look at but only for a while And I'll take a ride on highway 49 just east of coupon and you'll get a shock Yes, then whole ridges is filled with windmills. Yes, I believe I believe I see it in a sort of a community setting You know your desert may be right out in these farm fields. It's quite interesting sight to see And then we're going to talk about visual pollution Well, that's already going on out there Yeah, there's considerable numbers of farmers and community members that really consider those a blight and ruining their They're you know rural rustic views. Well, they don't want them out there They're noisy, you know the classic case too is you go out to Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is a very very consistently windy area where you'd really Objectively would put these things out there and way Teddy Kennedy and the boys and everybody else has got you know Martha's vineyard.  Yeah, so nobody wants nuclear power in their backyard. Nobody wants wind in their backyard Nobody wants drilling in their in their backyard Cole is not cold. Oh kidding. So I mean these are huge Issues and and somewhat hard to address but and that's going to be a real issue for Wisconsin because a lot of our Electricity is generated by coal and if there's any kind of a cap You know capping of you know carbon emissions. It's going to affect Wisconsin disproportionately Well in the Oak Creek plants that are being built now by a lion to our they're huge huge plants and There was substantial opposition to their building, but They're they're going up and so it'll be interesting just to to see how that plays out, but North Dakota actually has some lovely parts to it and having driven through it several times and So and I I think when mills are interesting to look at but then again, I don't have one in my backyard so So not so bad. I want to just circle around to non-partisan politics I mean this is clearly the partisan season And I think we'll have some interesting races and such as time goes on but The Supreme Court continues to be interesting I Was most interested in these four three decision in which the Supreme Court said that if somebody If some stinking liar lies to you about the condition of a house and you don't discover it you can't sue for fraud I thought that was a most interesting decision and I'm wondering if that will be You know decisions of the future and I Can't sue for fraud when you've been defrauded. I it's it's it's a unique approach And so we'll see how that goes the court decision there was that their remedy was to civil lease Seek the civilly sue damage right dammit is right right well But you can do an intentional tort for fraud, you know, which goes beyond regular misrepresentation And it's a powerful quiver arrow in the quiver, you know intentional torts or wrongdoings are They're naughty it leads to punitive damages under certain circumstances and so forth So it's clearly a remedy that's been taken away from homeowners and there is a lot of litigation that happens and my view is relatively few home People who are selling their houses actively defraud anybody. I know it happens But it's more or less like well I didn't realize that you know X Y and Z was going to happen or my inspector didn't find this or things like that So but nonetheless Which leads to Shirley Abrahamson as we talked about I know before but Has launched What appears to be a very aggressive? Race for her reelection which is not going to happen until next April. She's pushing heavily for contributions I think she's already raised two hundred thousand dollars Which of course in the Supreme Court race now is a mere drop in the bucket Isn't that remarkable but Anybody running against her, you know, there are no candidates so far That may be part of her strategy Mm-hmm. I think start early get the endorsements lined up get a bank account that no one can touch Maybe she'll be in a better shape than the last two races that that were very very close and contentious. Yeah The word is and it may just be apocryphal, but that Gabelman was down the list of Potential candidates and only after about 17 other people had said no did he say yes, which would make sense I mean, you know a district attorney from a small county up north, but that didn't make any difference And he was certainly able to prevail but I think I think justice Abrahamson first of all now the conservatives if you do think in terms of blocks conservative or or liberal the conservatives have the court now and As often happens that this the the US Supreme Court not so much now But in years past you have swing votes, you know justices who will you know Kennedy on the on the US Supreme Court And it'll be interesting to see if there are any swing votes in the in the Wisconsin Supreme Court But now the blocks seem for three so the need for Wisconsin manufacturers commerce to to pull justice Abrams and down are less. I mean, it's less compelling I mean it would ensure your majority if you know the best justice that money can buy But but it'll be interesting to see what happens in any event It'll it'll develop as it develops Also noting that justice Ziggler has decided to close her campaign account Which means that she's writing off a loan that she made to herself in the amount of 820 $3,000 I believe now they make a hundred forty thousand a year so that's a pretty steep, you know price for the your dance ticket there and Linda Clifford lent herself over five hundred thousand dollars for that campaign. Yeah so and It's hard I think to raise money for outstanding debt, but you know And I think that's why you don't see a lot of appellate court judges probably running for the Supreme Court They just don't want to enter the arena. Yeah Yeah They probably saved for retirement is going to be gone and you've got the Ziggler example all sudden you get in a Certain bind you got to write it off. I mean there goes your retirement for quite a while. Yeah, so But I'm sure she's happy to have all this behind her. So we're going to say goodbye Thank you for laughing with us and we hope that we see you again soon


In today's video, I'm going to give you all the information you need to know to shiny hunt mass outbreaks most effectively in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. But before we get into today's video, please subscribe to the channel. Remember, you can always unsubscribe later if you'd like to. Now, mass outbreaks will appear around the Paldea region no matter where you are in your playthrough. They will be identifiable by the sprites that appear around your map. Or if you haven't got the Pokemon register in your Pokedex, they'll appear as a little question mark. These will change every single day. When your switch clock ticks over to the next day, hits midnight, these sprites will change different locations and to different Pokemon, meaning that you're going to have different outbreaks in different areas. Now, the basic premise of these mass outbreaks is in the name of mass outbreaks. You are going to go to these areas, whatever the sprite indicates on the map, will mean that there will be a lot more of these Pokemon appearing in this select area than they normally are. And when you go here and you knock these Pokemon out or catch them, then more will spawn in until the outbreak finishes. This means that you're going to have a much higher increased chance to get a shiny spawning from these specific outbreaks. The base shiny rates of going to a mass outbreak without any shiny boosting enhancers is going to be one in 4096 chance of a shiny spawning. You can increase these odds significantly, even if you're not on your post game by knocking out 30 of these Pokemon. Once you've knocked out 30 Pokemon and this can be done with the auto battle feature, your odds for a shiny appearing will reduce significantly to one in 2048. And once you clear another 30, meaning 60 Pokemon are cleared in total through the auto battle feature or just battling feature, but that would take a lot longer. Your odds will then cap out at one in 1365. So they are the maximum odds that you're going to be able to achieve if you're not in the post game. Now, if you are in the post game and you have access to five star raids and you have access to Herbomistica, so you can make specific sandwiches that give you a sparkling power boost, your odds after you've beat 60 Pokemon will change to one in 683. Now, the only extra enhancing boost that you'll be able to add on to this is by completing your Pokedex and getting the shiny charm, which would give you the best odds possible. Once you've beat 60 Pokemon, you've got a sparkling power level three activated with a sandwich. You're using Herbomistica and you've got the shiny charm. Your odds for a shiny appearing from this outbreak will be one in 512. So that is the lowest odds that you're going to get for a shiny appearing in a mass outbreak. But like I say, even if you're not in the post game, you still can utilize this method to reduce those odds and have a very good chance of getting a shiny pretty easily in these games. So when you're on your map, you can identify where these outbreaks are. You can see the sprites here. Like I say, sometimes they will appear as question marks, but most of the time they will appear as sprites because they'll be registered in your Pokedex. Now, if you go through your map and you think there aren't really any Pokemon here that I want to hunt, I would advise probably not hunting things on the water. It does make it a lot harder and you can't set your picnics up, which is something we'll get into and makes this whole method a lot easier. So if you're like me and you've got nothing on your map, one option you can do is just hit your whole menu. Come down to your date and time and then you can just come to system down to date and time.  Move the date forward one day and then just click OK. Hit your home menu, come back into game and you'll get these messages popping up. There are mass outbreaks occurring, which will indicate that the mass outbreaks that were there before have changed. And if we go back onto our map again, we can see that the dens have changed, all the terror raid dens have moved around and we've got new mass outbreaks and we've got a ghastly there and in particularly nothing that I would like to hunt again. So we can just repeat this method once again. So we've got the new Pokemon Todd School here and I think because I haven't got this as a shiny, I would probably like to go after this one.  So what we want to do is just come over to them. The first thing we want to do is just beat the 60 Pokemon.  It's good to just keep account one by the things that pop up and you'll be able to see everything that does pop up on your screen when you have beat them. So you can see one, two, three. This is the third one that we're going to be beating here and you want to just repeat this until you have beat 60 of these Pokemon. I think we've got the shiny. We've got the shiny already and we've just complete our 60th. So there is the shiny. There is. Okay.  We got the shiny pretty early on as we beat the 60th. I was just coming back to show you an example how they keep spawning in when you knock them out, but we've increased the odds so much we got the shiny straight away. So that is a good example of just completing the 60 and then getting the increased chances without any sort of multipliers on. I do have the shiny charm. So that does make a difference, but you want to just knock them out. Auto battle that keeps spawning in and then you can get the shiny. So there is our first shiny of this guide. So since we've got the shiny here, we'll change this. We'll do another example. We'll get we'll get another outbreak going. Okay. We've got a knackley outbreak here, which is pretty cool. I haven't got one of these shinies yet. So we'll head to this area and we will do the outbreak shiny method for knackley. Right. What we need to do first is knock out 60 of these. So what we want to do once we've got the 60 knocked out is put down a save right here and just make sure that your auto saves are off as well. So you've dropped your save. You are safe in the knowledge now that this outbreak of the knackley or whatever Pokemon you're hunting will be active until the clock on your switch, which we can go and check and you can go and check to see how much time you've got it until this clock reaches midnight. So we've got like 10 and a half hours, 11 hours roughly for this outbreak to last in our game. We can go anywhere else in the region. We can do other things and then come back to this if we want. This outbreak is going to stay here with the 60 knocked out until that midnight hits. As soon as midnight hits, this mass outbreak will disappear and a new one will spawn somewhere else. So you will lose it. So just be conscious. If you are doing this, then this is the time that you've got to take advantage of this outbreak. Now you've got your save set up. If you haven't got five star raids or access to Herba Mystica, you're not going to be able to do this next bit, but you will still have the increased odds of one in 1365. So you've increased your odds even early on in your playthrough. But those of you that have access to Herba Mystica, the next step what you can do is you can make a sandwich. But firstly, you probably want to set up a good picnic area where you can kind of spot all of these outbreaks without having to pan around your camera too much. And it's kind of difficult for us to do here because they're spawning in a kind of a spread out area. Sometimes you get an outbreak where they're in one direct area. So you can just set your picnic up here and then you're going to be able to see the Pokemon spawning back in. This looks like we're going to have to pan our camera each time we set a picnic up to check each new spawn because every time we set a picnic up, it will despawn the Pokemon in the area. And when we come out of the picnic, new ones will spawn in. And every time you do that, you're going to respawn a new batch of Pokemon. They're all going to have that increased shiny odd chance. So the way that you get a shiny is by going into picnics and leaving picnics and despawning and respawning these Pokemon in the mass outbreak, which means shiny hunting is pretty straightforward. But to increase our odds slightly further, we can use a sandwich recipe. So the next thing we're going to want to do is create a sandwich and we're going to want to collect some ingredients. These can be bought from a selection of different delis, the artisan bakery, shirkans around the region. You're going to need the base ingredients and a lot of them, which is tomatoes, onions, green peppers and hamburgers. Now, one of the best places that I think is Laventia town because it's got a bunch of different places that you can get everything that you're going to need. The artisan bakery and the deli is the first places that we'll go and visit, but you're going to be able to buy most things here. Delis are great because they sell a bunch of different things that we're going to need. So the deli is going to sell the hamburgers, the smoked fillets, the green peppers that you're going to need most of the ingredients. And then you're going to get the artisan bakery, which is right next door to it. And that will sell pretty much everything else that you're going to need for your sandwiches, like your lettuce, your onion as well. It's going to be a really important one. And always make sure that you're stuck up on plenty of pics. If you need the other ingredients, you're going to have something like shirkans, which can be found in pretty much most of the towns. You've got the Acosta supermarket where you can get things like tofu. And then the rest of the ingredients can be got from shirkans. So like I say, you should be pretty familiar if you've been making sandwiches with where you can pick up the ingredients for these. But these are the four primary places that you're going to be visiting in the different cities around the part of the area region to pick up the ingredients for your sandwich. So once you've got your sandwich ingredients sorted, you want to just come back down to where your outbreak is located. Okay, once you've got the picnic set up, basics of a picnic are as soon as you set one up, it's going to despawn all of those Pokemon that were spawned in. And when you take down your picnic, new spawns are going to come in place of those. So we want to get this right the first time. You want to come to make a sandwich. And as I say, we'll be using the new sandwich list that was put up by Papa Hefe. And we come to creative mode and we want to just go off the recipe. So one tomato, one onion, one green pepper and one hamburger. And then we're going to need to decide on what type we're going for. Nackley is a rock type. So we want bacon, which is the type for rock types. You want two sides, two servings of this for the type. And then you can add any two herbomistica to this. And for this, I guess we'll use one sweet and we'll use one spicy because we've got more of them than anything else. And then we want to just pop a pick in it and then start creating the sandwich. I always feel like it's best to start off with the chunky objects. Like we've got a bunch of tomatoes here. So the tomatoes are very chunky. So as long as you're dropping them on the bread though, you know, if it falls off, it doesn't mark your star rating down as long as you're getting it on the bread to begin with, you're kind of fine. So we'll drop our big slabs of bacon on and your sandwich is done. A tasty Osiris original. And then you can see we've got that sparkling power rock, the title power rock and the encounter power rock. This will run for 30 minutes. So that's what we've got. We want to take our picnic down. Yes. And then we're going to see new spawns coming in for these Nackley. And what we want to be doing is keeping an eye to see if any of these are shiny. So none of these are shiny so far. So the thing is with these, I think with other Pokemon that are a bit bigger, you've probably got a little bit more room to just set the picnic up and then despawn it, check the Pokemon and then set another one up because that's all we're going to do now is set another picnic up. None of these are shiny, but I'm probably going to take a little bit more time to have to go and check these Pokemon every time because they're so small. So I don't miss the shiny. So it might be a bit more time consuming for certain Pokemon that you do, depending on the size of them, how easy they are to identify with their shiny form. But this essentially is all you're going to do. Like I say, if you've got bigger Pokemon, you're going to be able to just spot the shiny a lot easier. With these, it might be a little trickier and also because we're on sand as well. So the coloration here is not making it super easy for us to identify if a shiny is amongst the new spawned Pokemon in. But like I say, you're just going to want to repeat this process. You're going to have 30 minutes from setting that sandwich up and you know you've saved as well. So if you don't get the shiny within that 30 minutes, just reset your game, come back to it, start again and you can repeat the process until you do get the shiny. And this is the method. You just need to set picnic up and exit it and you're going to get new spawns every time. It's a bit annoying that we can't, we have to pan our camera around because they're in such a spread out area and the fact that we're going to have to go and kind of check each one almost every time that does make it a little bit more time consuming. But again, it's not really that difficult, right? Like I don't really mind having to do that. It's not a massive task to do. It's not taking us too long. It would just be sped up if we had bigger Pokemon that were more obviously a shiny, easier to spot. We can just stay in this one area, set down a picnic. Look out to this area. We'll see the new Nackle or whatever Pokemon spawning in and we'll be able to spot a shiny pretty easily. So we're just having to just take a little extra step whereas you might not have to. And you can always keep an eye on how long you've got left on your sandwich bar by hitting the right direction on your d-pad. You'll get this menu up. I'll show you the sparkling power and the other powers that you've got active and how long you've got left on it as well. And if you're on the water, just to be aware, like we covered in our original shiny hunting guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, if you are on the water, the only way you're going to be able to do this is by leaving the area and then coming back to it, which is something you can do. If you don't want to set your picnic up each time, you want to just leave the area and then come back into this area, then that will despawn and respawn the Pokemon in the outbreak as well. And we finally got the shiny Nackle. As you can see here, it has popped up after we've just despawned that picnic and we can go and encounter it and capture it. So we've got about eight minutes left on our sparkling power. So that has last, that has taken us around 20 minutes to get the shiny. So not too long at all. We'll try and get it in a premier ball, one of my favorite balls. And hopefully we can catch this and this has been a successful hunt. So we've had the sparkling power active with the shiny charm stacked on top of that. So we've got a one in 512 chance of a shiny spawning. So we have had the higher odds. We have been successful in this hunt. But again, if you haven't got access to Herbomistica and you've only got the increased chances of knocking out those 60 Pokemon, then you are still going to have good odds of a shiny Pokemon appearing of one in 1365. Obviously with the sparkling power stacked on top of that, then you will have increased odds. And if you're unsuccessful at the end of the hunt and your sparkling power runs out, then you can just reset your game and start again. You're not losing any of the resources because you've dropped that hard save at the beginning. So you can come back in, start again and try the process again. This is one of the easiest methods to do in the entire game. You're going to have access to it from very early on in your playthrough and come and be able to just knock out 60 Pokemon, drop that hard save and then do the picnic technique to either despawn and respawn or just leave the area and then try and just get as many of these respawning and despawning as possible till your clock ticks over to midnight. After that, of course, new spawns will be available around your area. So I hope you found this guide useful, friends. It is a bit more of an in-depth one on mass outbreaks. Good luck shiny hunting with this. Just remember the odds that we've covered in the video you're going to have depending on where you are in your playthrough. If you're early on, like we've said, you're still going to have access to increase the shiny odds of Pokemon appearing by knocking out 60 Pokemon. But if you're further into your game and you've got Herbomistica and even if you've got the shiny charm, you're going to get that increased odds for getting shinies appearing more often in your game with these techniques. I hope you have a lot of success shiny hunt and let me know down in the comment section below what your best mass outbreak shiny has been. I'm super happy that we managed to get to in today's guide showing you both the increased chances of just knocking out 60 Pokemon and then with the increased chances with that sparkling power that you can set up through sandwiches and using Herbomistica. If you have found the video useful, please drop a like, subscribe to the channel if you're new and I will see you all in another video very soon. So until then, friends, take care of yourselves and bye-bye.


Let's understand about flow trigger explorer. So this is a new feature and this feature is particularly related to record trigger flow. So if you have created record trigger flow in your org and if you want to maintain the order of their execution, so you can click on this button and here you can see we have two options. In first option, we can select the object for which you have created the record trigger flow. And then in second case, we have this option, whether you created the flow for record creation, updation or deletion. So based on that, your flows will be listed here. So I have selected account and record is updated. So for this requirement, two flows are available. Those will run in fast field updates. So if I open the record trigger flow so that I can show you those things. So if we create any record trigger flow, so here we have two options, fast field update and actions and related records. So fast field update means your flow will run before the record is saved to the database and actions and related record means your flow will run after the record is saved in the database. So here you can see these flows are related to fast field update. So record run before save. You can read this help text as well. Before save flow runs, before the record is saved to the database. In order to provide high performance, this flow offers limited functionality. Use this simpler flow to quickly update fields on the record that triggers the flow to run, right? So now if you want to change the order, so here you can see this flow will run first and this will second. And it is showing like which flow is active or which is inactive. If you want to change the order, you can just click on this added order and from here you can drag and drop and update and update. So here you can see order of execution is updated. So first this flow will run and then second this one but it depends whether the flow is active or inactive. If you want to change like inactive to active or active to inactive, so you can click on this and you can go and open the flow or you can open the flow details and versions, right? And if you want to create new flow under this category fast field update, so you can click on this button as well. Similarly, you can see we have actions and related records, so here three flows are available. So similar to fast field update, you can also change the order here as well. So let's say I'm putting it above and clicking on update. So these masses are available, so you can just go through with this and then click on update, right? So this way, if you want to change the order of execution of your record trigger flows, so you can. Third option is run also synchronously. So in record trigger flow, we have one more option that is, so here I need to choose this option, then that option will be available, add scheduled paths, right? So if you select this, so if you have created any scheduled path, so it means your flow, scheduled path will run as synchronously. In that case, your flow will available in this category as well. So if you have run immediately, then your flow will lie under these two categories. If you have set the path, scheduled path, then your flow will be available under this run as synchronously category. So here you can see an asynchronous path can access an external system after the original transaction for the triggering record is committed to the database. These paths runs in the background and don't delay the execution of your original trigger transaction. So the scheduled transaction will be executed in same manner and the scheduled path will be executed later on as well. So use an asynchronous path to execute a long running operation, such as a call out to an external web service or any operation that you want to run on its own time, right? So if you want to run immediately, then we have this path run immediately. And if you want to schedule the path, so you can just add it from here, right? So right now it is having run immediately. So if I want to add schedule, so let's say schedule path, account is created one hour after. After one hour of this account created, if I want to do some operation, so that will happen. So I'm just clicking on done. So here you can see, we have one path for run immediately. We have one path for scheduled path, right? And so this way you can have these two different paths. So now if I take you to the flow, so here also you can see we have one option that is open flow trigger explorer for account. So this UI which we opened by clicking on this button, flow trigger explorer. This you can open from here as well. So this is all about flow trigger explorer which is very useful to manage the execution order of your record trigger flows. So don't forget like here, you can select different objects and from here you can choose the event like for which your record trigger flow is created.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have a huge Monday of content in store for us today inside of FIFA 22. Team of the Year Upgrade Packs are potentially arriving in the game today. I wanna talk about that, the SBCs that we could see and how this is really when Team of the Year starts for a lot of people, including myself, because upgrade SBCs mean potential packing of Team of the Years. A lot of people go out and spend tons of coins doing these upgrade packs just to try to pack some of the best cards that we will see all year. So we're gonna talk about that today and also look a little bit ahead into the week as a big SBC is on the horizon called Flashback Veran. And that is gonna be an SBC that I think really rocks the game. And I think it's gonna cause a lot of movements and a lot of people are going to want to do that SBC. There's a lot of hype around it. And we have confirmed stats as a leak for that Flashback Veran. So there are gonna be some leaks involved with today's video, of course, but a lot of what we're talking about today is related to the Monday content. And these brand new team of the Year Midfielders, which came out yesterday, and I think they're kind of cheap. Apart from Conte, who was extinct on PlayStation and he's now dropping down a price, you know, Georgino's like 1.5 million coins, KDB's like 2.3, 2.4 mil for first day prices. Again, as we've been seeing it throughout this whole team of the year promo, these cards are just pretty cheap. So if you're excited for content today and you're excited for this video, make sure to hit a thumbs up on it and of course, subscribe if you're new. A little bit of an update, TFA. I know a lot of you guys maybe have not heard this, but we've been talking about it in the Twitch live streams. I'm gonna be, the videos are gonna be basically slowing down a little bit this week because I'm going on a little bit of a vacation or holiday, as you guys may call it. It's been planned for like five, six months. I know it's bad timing because it's a team of the year, but family over FIFA, right? So we're gonna be going on that this week. So you might see a few less uploads. So that's just a little bit of heads up for you guys. There might be some phone videos. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll figure it out. And there's some schedule uploads that I recorded earlier, just talking about some stuff inside of FIFA as well.  So that's just a little bit of a message so that you are aware. You won't see as much of me this week. We'll be back in the saddle to smash upgrade packs early next week, like Sunday, Monday timeframe, Monday for sure, we'll be smashing the upgrade packs and doing a lot of those. But let's get into the video today because part of the upgrade pack content that we have to talk about is dropping today on this game. And that's what everybody's excited for, right? Now we always know that upgrade packs come out with promos literally every single promo this year. They drop upgrade packs on Mondays. It's just kind of a known fact. And I don't think it's gonna be any different today with team of the year upgrade packs. Now it has been leaked and confirmed that these SBCs, the premium upgrades are going to be dropping. And if you guys remember, these are the 25K packs that are specific to players by league. So a premium Premier League upgrade and the premium league one upgrade, those are gonna be the most too popular upgrade SBCs that are gonna be dropping today. They're repeatable, right? People are gonna stack tens, 50s, hundreds of these to try to pack team of the year cards. Now what do they require, right? In the past for the last like three or four years of team of the year, the requirements have stayed basically the same. All they require for these SBCs are 11 gold rares. It does not require league specific gold rares. Now I know a lot of you guys may be out buying league one rares or Premier League rares, which I have no problem doing that. Rares right now on the market I believe are 800 coins. So they're pretty close. You know, they're not quite discard but they are decently cheap. A lot of people have started to buy these cards up in preparation for these SBCs to be out. If you wanna buy some ahead of time, I'm 100% I'm with that, right? If you're planning to do a lot of upgrade packs during team of the year, maybe you're not gonna open them today when they get released, but maybe you're gonna save them until you know the full team is in packs Thursday or Friday. It's 100% a move to go out on the market and especially as they're still running lightning rounds you know late Sunday night into Monday morning as they commonly do now with these big promos. You know, you see a lot of gold rares at discard price. Now the rares from the league one and the Premier League are inflated because there's people investing on the off chance. And when I mean off chance, I mean like they haven't required specific league rares for the team of the year SBCs for like the past three years, right? I know that in the fall, earlier this year for Black Friday they required the league specific rares but they have not done that for team of the year in the past few years. So hopefully they do not do that again this year but you know, at the moment I wouldn't be too afraid of that since it's been so consistent in the past few years with them not requiring it. But if you wanna stock your club with gold rares I think that's a great opportunity. Now let's talk about these packs a little bit, right? Which ones are people are gonna be doing? Well, it's kind of obvious, right? The whole entire team of the year is made up of Premier League and league on players, right? It's basically split. You know, how many Premier League players do we have? We have the De Bruyne, Georgino, Conte, Cancelo, Rubin Diaz. We have five Premier League players, maybe sixth with the inclusion of a Salah or Cristiano Ronaldo, 12th man. And then for league one, we have one, two, three, four, five. So it's crazy the split, right? You have like five league one, five-prem and then Lebedowski, that's your team in the year 11. So, you know, everybody's gonna be hammering these two different packs, right? There's really not a reason to do La Liga or Serie A but it's gonna be all about Premier League and league on which is fine, right? And I think that's why EA will not require league specific rares. I'd be surprised if they did. But one thing I'm gonna say is the league one does not have that many rare gold cards in it. So I would just be a little bit careful when you're spamming these SBCs and when you're opening a lot of these upgrade packs over the course of this promo, make sure that you're recycling, right? Like one of our rules of thumb is, let's say you open one of these league specific packs and you have like three or four duplicates, recycle that into another SBC, right? Put that back into another upgrade pack and don't just quick sell those cards. That can sometimes, I've packed a ton of team of the years on what we call recycle packs from turning in my duplicates into another upgrade SBC. You get a lot of extra packs doing that method and it can pack you team of the year. So that's all I'm saying is to be smart with those. And again, if you wanna start buying up some rares, be my guest because I think at some points right now, discard price, you don't get any cheaper than that and rares after these SBCs come out are probably gonna end up rising a decent way over, I would say a thousand coins. So if you can get them for less than 800 right now, I think that's a really great deal. A lot of people are excited for the league upgrade packs today on this game. Now other content people are gonna be very excited for today, it is rumored that we are getting another one of those 81 plus times 11 packs. Now the 81 plus times 11 for the attackers I believe has expired. Yeah, that SBC expired, but it is rumored and leaked that today we are gonna get the 81 times 11 for the midfielder. So for these Georgino, Conte and KDB items, it's gonna be another great pack that a lot of people are going to want to go out and do. Now the first time it was released, I believe it required like an 84 squad. It was like 30,000 coins to do this SBC. I think if they price it around that point again, that's gonna be a really, really good value SBC for a gamble, right? Yesterday they released the hero player pick, that SBC was like 75,000 coins, but an 81 times 11 for midfielders is gonna be another great SBC to go out and do. Now SBC fodder at the moment will probably rise even more. At the moment, it's not super crazy, but one thing to keep in mind is that the attacker SBCs so far, like when we had the 85 plus attacker, 83 plus attacker, those were always a little bit more expensive than the midfielder and defender SBCs. So there is a slight outside chance that they might not require like an 84 rated squad. They might require an 83 squad or something. So if you wanna stock your club with a couple 83s or 84s, I know that this stuff is already up in terms of where it has been. 84s just keep rising when we have these big SBCs every single day that people wanna go out and do, but I would really say to stock a couple, if you wanna do the 81 times 11 midfielder, is it supposed to drop today? I would make sure to stock up on a few fodder cards cause it will spike again when that SBC is released today. So just be careful about that. Another piece of Monday content that we might see is a Serginio Dest and you might be very confused on why this card is getting an item, but it's kinda similar to the Lucas Paqueta. I actually don't think that it's gonna be a team of the year item. I think it's gonna be like this card design, the moments item from a specific goal that he scored against Costa Rica. That is the leak. So I know that we were all wanting Danny Alves, but it looks like we might be getting this Serginio Dest instead. So just keep an eye out for a player SBC along the lines of a Dest. I don't know if that is today, but I mean, according to the timeline of the leaks, it should be pretty soon. And you've seen your links like Usman Dembele right mid or the young special card. Some of your Barcelona links have risen up in price due to this leak. So I think that could be today that's not confirmed. I just think it's probably gonna be coming decently soon. So keep an eye out for that as well on this market.  It's gonna be so excited for the upgrade packs. Now again, as I mentioned, a lot of people are probably not gonna open these premium league upgrade packs that would be released on the game today. I'll be surprised if people were opening them up. I would not recommend opening because of course you only have three team of your cards in your own packs right now. What you would really wanna do is save those for the one the full team is out, which is right now looking like either Thursday or Friday. So again, that's just gonna be, today basically an SBC grind is going to open up. A whole new level of SBC grind. A lot of you guys know this, where you remember it from like even Black Friday, but specifically from team of the years past. This is just when people that love to open packs, this is when the game gets really, really fun. There's insane cards in packs that are really hard to pack and it's all about just trying to hit one of them and you can craft a ton of SBCs along the way and open a bunch of packs. It's just an absolute blast of a time on this game. So that's the biggest portion of the Monday content today for sure. Now yesterday, right? Let's roll it back a little bit and talk about yesterday. We've got team of the year midfielders out, De Bruyne, Giorginho and Conte. And very interestingly, these cards are, they're really cheap, man. I bought a De Bruyne today to try to flip and I'm in the mud because he kept going lower and this card is starting to bounce back. He was at like 228 at his absolute lowest. But me, I mean, we even knew these cards were gonna be cheaper than ever this year, but still seeing some of these first day prices is crazy, right? Conte was extinct at four million coins, which was honestly ridiculous. I know some of you guys, we were looking at this on the stream yesterday. The fact that Conte was extinct at four mil, even though he has a very rare card, was just ridiculous, right? Especially when you had Kevin De Bruyne on the market at like two and a half million coins and you had Conte extinct at four mil, that just does not make any sense for him to be that expensive. So just be careful with these cards. I feel like Giorginho is going to be the second or third cheapest team of the year. I think Cancelo might be a little bit cheaper than him once the defenders come out, but I gotta give credit where credit is due as well. These midfielder cards that EA released, they absolutely juiced the heck out of them.  He got a four star skill, four star weak foot upgrade. I mean, this card has gone from nobody would ever use it in FIFA to an elite midfielder, one of the best midfielders in this game. So I'm excited to maybe pack this card.  So I know it's medium, medium work rates, which some people do not like, but that's a really, really great card. I really don't have any complaints on these midfielders. I'll be completely honest. I don't have any complaints on the boosts that they gave these cards. This Kevin De Bruyne as well, they gave him like plus, what was it like? Plus 13 defense or plus 12 defense or something like that to get him to that magic number of 80 defense, which is very nice. He got a plus six pace boost as well. So I'm very happy with this KDB card. I know that it's not like, you know, 97 or 98 rated, but that was just too much to ask for and too much to expect. But the fact that this card does have Hulet gang stats, of course with many stats in the 90s. I love the KDB boost. And again, Kante is very rare and very expensive right now. I'm actually a little surprised, but I think his price is gonna continue dropping because people were investing in him at four million coins. And, you know, now he's obviously not four million coins, which he never should have been in the first place.  So give that some time. I think that'll drop off a bit more. But for whatever reason right now, he is very, very rare. So just keeping out on that card at the moment. But I like what they did, right? The cards are all great. The stats are fantastic. I'm a big fan of that. Now, that was one piece of content yesterday that didn't really affect the market too much, right? You take a look at your Mbappe team of the year, your Messi team of the year. These guys didn't really move. Mbappe is around the same price of like 7.9. Lewandowski's been around 1.7 to 1.8. Messi's been around 4.4 to 4.5. So they didn't really move too much yesterday with that content that was released. But what you did see was a lot of prices on the market, they did drop yesterday. A lot of prices on like meta cards kinda dropped yesterday because of this big SBC right here. It was the player pick for the foot hero, but it was non-repeatable. We were very surprised by this on stream when we looked at it yesterday because we were fully expecting this to be a repeatable player pick. Now, the upside of this SBC is that it's pretty cheap, right? 73,000 coins is a pretty cheap price for this SBC. But I think it would have impacted the market a lot more if it was repeatable. But the fact that it's 73K again is pretty cheap. You know, if you are not wanting to do this but you're gonna open packs during team of the year, my 100% recommendation to you would be craft packs during team of the year with your duplicate 83s and 84s. Slap him into that SBC. Maybe you can snag yourself a Cordova hero, Dina Talley or a Betty Pillay or maybe Robbie Keene if that's a hero that interests you. You know, there's a great opportunity there. So I mean, it's a WSBC for the price. I just, I'm a little confused on why it was not repeatable but it is what it is. We have the dog leash SBC, which right now looks decent. 1.1 mil, 1.17. His card on the market's around 1.3, I believe, 1.38. So that SBC looks like better value than it did right away. I still think it's a little bit overpriced, not much. But Figo looks pretty good too. If you wanted the Figo card in your club, you know, 620K, he was like 700K last week. Now with this SBC being less than 500,000 coins, EA is, their pricing icon SBC is a lot better than they have in the past. So dog leash and Figo, I got no problems with them. Maybe a tad bit. You know, we'd like to see them a tad bit cheaper because still it seems like prime icons just continue to lose value on this market, on this game. Now the other big W from yesterday was a 50K pack available from this daily challenge to SBC. 5,000 coins you have to pay for an untradable 50K pack. That's a tremendous dub. Make sure you're getting this SBC done. 5,000 coins for a 50K pack. I mean, what else do I need to say? That's an incredible, incredible W. But that did drop the market a little bit in some places because everybody was going out and doing the hero SBC. Couple cards that I saw go down in price. Some of your mid to low tiers. Take a look at this Morales card, right? 56K, his drop yesterday is pretty evident, right? 68,000 coins down to 56K. Another card that went down a decent amount was the Collins Centerback item, which the Winter Wild Cards, Namedi Collins. Yeah, 77,000 coins. I'm pretty sure he dropped about 10K. And a lot of this stuff, since it was a Sunday, a lot of it hasn't rebounded that well. Some cards went down and then rebounded back up a little bit. I bought some Rutiger. Yeah, I bought some Rutiger's in the 270 range and he's back up to like 295. I was hoping with the Georgino and Conte links that there's not too many Chelsea items that people would wanna link to him. So he's up a little bit, which is nice. But a lot of stuff yesterday on the market dropped and then didn't rebound too much. Even the heroes, right? A lot of these heroes, since the player pick was non-repeatable, a lot of the heroes they dropped before the SBC and then went back up afterwards. Cordoba went from 370 to 420 because the SBC was non-repeatable. And I think that there were so many people waiting for heroes to drop. And when the SBC came out and it was non-repeatable and it was really cheap, it didn't affect the market in the way that we thought it was going to. So that's why you saw heroes rebound a bit on the market yesterday. One also interesting thing that I wanna point out is, one, these Serial heroes, Cordoba and Dina Tali, whenever there's hero upgrade packs or something like this on this game, they impact the market big time. Serial special cards exploded yesterday, which I really think was linked to Cordoba. And Dina Tali, take a look at Teo Hernandez. He was like 220K, 216, up to 255, he's 245 right now. Another good example is this Federico Chiesa. He went from 160K in the Panic Cell, low price of 160. He ballooned all the way back to 190 and is kinda now back down to 180. So like a bunch of these cards, Spinazola, Winter Wild Cards was 140,000 coins, I think. Yeah, he was like 150, 160K. He spiked all the way to 200. This was solely because people were packing cards from that hero player pick, going out and trying them out and having to link them and buy a few cards to link them in their teams. So that was kinda crazy to see on the market yesterday as well. So that's kinda what's going on in this game right now. We gotta look in the future a little bit, all right? We gotta look in the future a little bit because there is a big boy SBC that is coming. And I think this is the next big SBC on this game that is going to rock this game and honestly rock the market as well. And it is this Flashback Veron. Now believe it or not, these are confirmed statistics for a Flashback Veron SBC. Confirmed statistics. He's gonna have 88 pace, 93 defense, 90 physical. That is insane, right? That is an insane card with the French links with the GGMU hype. This SBC is going to wreak havoc on this game later on in this week. I think it's gonna be dropping on Thursday or Friday. So just keeping out for that, we'll probably talk again before that happens. But that's crazy.  I honestly think that based off of some of the other expensive centerbacks that are in this game, I mean you look at another prem centerback that has a lot of hype like Van Dyke does, or sorry, Veron. I think that centerback is Van Dyke, right? And Van Dyke's headliner's item is like 700 something thousand coins. Now he's up a little bit because he had a goal performance in a Liverpool match, and this card's really rare. But if you look at this item and you look at the Veron card, I could really see that Veron SBC being anywhere between 800, and I'll say it, a million coins. Because they know, EA Sports knows that that Veron card has a ton, a ton of hype. And people are going to be crafting that SBC and so many people are gonna wanna do that card because of just the links that it provides, how OP and how insane he is gonna be in game.  So many people, you're gonna see so many Veron flashbacks in your weekend leagues upcoming. Everybody's gonna have it in their team. It's gonna be like another Fakir SBC or another type of Benzema flashback type vibes. I'm not even kidding. So your French links are gonna be more OP than ever in the coming days. Center backs on this game are probably gonna drop because people are gonna go out and do Veron and put that card in their teams instead of using maybe some of the other cards that they might use in their team at the moment. So just be aware that that SBC is leaked to be coming and it's gonna turn this game upside down. It really is, that's a huge SBC. So whenever that does drop, just be on the lookout. And you know, I even have some still, I still have some freds from once to watch freds I still have on my transfer list here that I got at like 230,000 coins. A lot of these links to the Veron SBC are very, very heavily invested in. So I would just be a little bit careful with these. I'm kind of watching this fred and if you rise this back up, if he hits like 270, right now he's like 250. If he hits 270 before the Veron SBC comes out, I'll probably take the cash and sell because that would just be a little bit too high for me. But again, that Veron card, especially if EA puts that SBC out for like 10, 12 or more days so that it's very craftable with upgrade packs and over amount of time, the amount of completion you're gonna see in that card is gonna be nutty. So just keep an eye out for that on this market I think later on this week.  You're gonna have the upgrade packs, the 81 times 11 and you're probably gonna have, I think that the desk SBC would be either today or tomorrow, I could see it being tomorrow on Tuesday because that's the drop of the defenders. Now we did have the Paqueta that was on Saturday and it wasn't yesterday when they dropped the midfielders even though this is a midfield card. So that's a bit interesting, but desks should be very soon, Veron should be in the near future and again, the hype is gonna be with all the upgrade packs and that 81 times 11 today on this game. So it's gonna be a hype week on FIFA, it really is. It's team of the year and I'm bummed that I'm not gonna be completely around for it but I'll be following from afar. Make sure you get involved with the links that are down below. I'll be tweeting out a little bit on Twitter if you kinda wanna follow along with my journey over the next week or so and we'll still have a few uploads so make sure you get tuned in for those and always if you tweet it or if you pack a team of the year, not tweet, if you pack a team of the year, tweet me. That's what I'm trying to say. If you pack a team of the year, I wanna see it, right? Show me a screenshot of the team, show me a screenshot of the pack. I love that stuff, right? Because right now we're just all trying to pack a team of the years. So this market is very healthy, I will say as well. A lot of coins, great opportunities to trade and we're gonna talk about with how to make some coins in this current market with all these new cards coming in and out. There's gonna be great opportunities to trade. So a video like that's gonna be coming on the channel very soon for you guys as well. But if you enjoyed this video of course, smash thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you are new. I'll be seeing you guys soon, it's been Nathan Ford Accountant, I'll catch you guys later. Peace, out.


Cabinet Reshuffle, New Dawn or New Yon? President Cyril Ramaphosa's rejig cabinet has been celebrated by some and scorned by others. The ANC and its political allies were predictably supportive of the move which was done in consultation with the tripartite alliance including the SA Communist Party and Trade Union Federation Kosatu. The DEFF and UDM were less complementary. All three criticized Ramaphosa for not being tough enough on those accused of wrongdoing. The return of Praveen Cortan and Nlanlanene was welcomed but that was where the praise ended. President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of his new cabinet this evening illustrates that the problem in our nation lies with the ANC itself said to leader Muzi Maimanu. The ministers who make up Ramaphosa's compromised and partially captured cabinet show what we've known all along, it's about the ANC and connected codders first and the interests of South Africa's second. Ramaphosa on Monday announced about a dozen changes to his executive ousting a large chunk of Jacob Zuma's administration. Among those who got the axe were, Police Minister Fakil Mbalula Public Administration Minister Faith Muthambi State Security Minister Bongani Bongo and Mineral Resources Minister Mosbensah Zwayne. But some controversial figures remained. David Mabusa was controversially appointed Deputy President. We view it as a mere realignment of corrupt and state-captured delinquent ministers. No one with the best interests of South Africa today could have Maluzi Gigaba Namphila Makhanyan Baidabilay Dlamini as cabinet members and ministers the EFF said in a statement. Baidabilay Dlamini has essentially been rewarded with a promotion into the presidency regardless of the fact that she nearly collapsed the social grants system for the poor. Above all is Gigaba whose state capture crimes come close to treason as he facilitated the handing over of state institutions to a foreign nationals in the form of the Guptas. Other politicians and plebs also wait in.


The Reich-government is determined in view of the friendly relations which exist between Norway and Germany under no circumstances to prejudice the inviolability and integrity of the Norwegian state. 2nd of September 1939, Bergers Reich. But on 9 April 1940, German troops invaded Norway. Germans of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, and Germany will not by 1939. But on May 10th 1940, German troops invaded Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. The relationship of Germany to Yugoslavia will represent an element of calm to our nerve-wrecked continent. This piece is the goal of all who are disposed to perform really constructive work. 1st of June 1939, Adolf Hitler. But on 6 April 1941, German troops invaded Yugoslavia. These criminal methods of the Nazi conspirators brought them early success. And by 1941, they had most of Europe under their heel.  But two of the world's mightiest nations, the United States and Soviet Russia, remained to block the Nazi drive for world supremacy. They had to be dealt with firmly immediately. And now Germany asked for cooperation from her full partner in aggression to the east and from her junior partner to the south. In Berlin, they drew up the Axis pack, the blueprint of the new order, and parceled out the continents of the world for Axis domination. Italy was to get the Mediterranean sphere, Japan was to get the Orient, and to Germany would go the rest of the world. In 1941, in violation of their non-aggression pact, the Nazis sent the Wehrmacht deep into Soviet territory, according to military plans long made. As usual, there was no declaration of war.  And this was tomorrow. Warfare in the east, air warfare in the west. For now defendant Göring's Luftwaffe was hurled with full force against the people and cities of Britain. Hitler, after all, had told the Reichstag, I will blot out their cities, the Japanese, keeping their end struck at the United States, also without declaration of war. Japanese bombs rained on Pearl Harbor, spreading war finally to the Pacific. The new order was on the march, World War II flamed around the globe. In the name of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, General Rudenko presents counts three and four, charging that all the defendants committed war crimes in Germany and in all those countries occupied by Germany. The Nazi conspirators committed crimes against enemy armies, against prisoners of war, against the civilians of occupied land. They believed in the barbaric doctrine of total war and considered themselves freed from the restraints of international law or the established customs of war. Their ruthless policies were ordered in directives like this one, from General Reinke of the Wehrmacht High Command. The Bolshevist soldier has lost all claim to treatment as an honorable opponent. Active or passive resistance must be broken immediately by force of arms. Prisoners of war attempting to escape are to be fired on without previous challenge. No warning shot must be fired. More proof of this savage Nazi policy comes from the affidavit of Kurt Lindau, former Gestapo officer. There existed in the prisoner of war camps on the eastern front small screening teams headed by lower ranking members of the Gestapo. It was the duty of these teams to segregate the prisoners of war who were candidates for execution according to the orders that had been given and to report them to the office of the Gestapo. And a letter from defendant Rosenberg to defendant Keitel in 1942 stated clearly, a large part of the Soviet prisoners of war has starved or died because of the hazards of the weather. In many cases, prisoners of war could no longer keep up on the march because of hunger and exhaustion. In numerous camps, no shelter for the prisoners was provided at all. Even tools were not made available to dig holes or caves. Yet when some objected that this treatment violated the Geneva Convention, defendant Keitel answered with this memorandum. We are concerned with the destruction of an ideology. Therefore, I approve and back the measures.
