Welcome to Toffy TV, I am joined by an evident legend, the man whose record has finally gone, the last man to score the winner at Anfield before Saturday. It is Super Kevin Campbell, what an honour to chat to you today. How are you man? Baz, honosly, Peda, I've got no peds behind the camera, but I'm still buzzing. I am still buzzing, it's been a long, long time coming, as it really has. And anybody who knows me knows, I wanted it to go the next year, two years. So, listen, brilliant, brilliant performance and so proud. Yeah, I mean Jamie Carriga said, Kevin Campbell won't be too happy this record's gone. I don't know though Baz, what does he know? He don't speak for me. I could tell you this, I am absolutely delighted it's gone. And I'm so pleased it's gone. Well, there's new members in the exclusive club Baz. There they are. Richard Wilson and Sigurdson, the exclusive club, there aren't many who have done that at Anfield. So listen, I'm just delighted that the team won because I think it's an important point and an important hurdle to get over in the evolution of Everton. Because the rebuild is real now, you know, because all those things that hang over the team, they're knocking them down slowly, but surely so, it's really important to be Liverpool at Anfield. Definitely.  So it's been too long till you've been in here, to be honest. You know what the world is like at the moment, but hopefully you'll be back in the studio sooner rather than later and we can have a good laugh. Just on to the game then, obviously going into it, obviously a lot of people saying, and we felt it was a good opportunity for Everton to break this because no fans being there and everything. But there was that thing of Liverpool losing three home games on the run and they wouldn't be four. So, you know, it wasn't as easy as what people can or it was a bigger deal than what people have made it out, I think anyway, personally from an Everton perspective. Yeah, Baz, I think the important part was you knew Everton had a good chance. You know, look, whether we like it or not, they have got injuries. Both teams have injuries and they have to deal with it, but some of their injuries are all in one position, which is centre off and at the back. So we think to ourselves, well, if we can't get at this lot, then something's wrong. But we've said that before, they've played weak and teams at times and Everton just haven't turned up. So, you know, it's 22 years of pressure on the seven on the seven and squad.  It was it was painful at times, but we knew we stood a chance, but you still got to go in there and you still got to win the game. You still got a battle.  Because you know, as well as I do Baz, that front three, when they're on there, when they're on blob, could rip anybody apart. In the Champions League midweek, they were ripping people apart. Yeah, true. You know, it's the same team who played at the Champions League of one convincingly. So Everton had to defend well. They had to defend well and try and get in front. I thought Everton started the game really well. Hamas Rudwig is theirs. Obviously, some people questioning sometimes about, you know, about getting stuck in, but that's not his game. His game is exactly what you saw with that pass touch and that sweet pass to Richardlasen. Richardlasen just played off the shoulder and bang! I mean, well, brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I mean, it's really weird, isn't it? The last time we won there and you scored early on, I think your goal was four minutes in. And the charlasen's just three minutes. And the pity, I saw the pity you put up of the two. Did you see him? Did you reply to him yesterday? Did you see that? Brilliant. Listen, it made my day. Top, top. Listen, we know he's a top player. To take a little bit of time out to respond, it was first class I fought and it really made my day yesterday. It was a nice touch. It's great as a supporter to see that, you know, interacting with you was brilliant. But it was weird, though, because both pitches at the cop end as well, you know what it's like. A real symbolic moment in the game. And to be honest, you were the first person I thought of when it hit the net. It was like, it's done work. It's done work after it. I was passing it! I was passing it! There you go! It was superb. Honestly, it was superb. Just to get the noses in front. And then you could say, well, okay, let's keep the game plan now. Because you've got something to hold on to, Baz. Exactly. I know with mine it was maybe, it scored too early, but this one wasn't too early. It wasn't too early. Score, get your noses in front, and then see what they've got. Liverpool weren't breaking there in Everton on Saturday evening. You mentioned it then from the Leipzig game, up against Leipzig, up on Macarn, on Canate, and people like that at Leipzig. Really good defenders. Liverpool were through three, four, five times that night. And yet on Saturday, obviously, Michael Keane, Ben Goffrey, Mason Holgate, Llewka Dill, Seamus Coleman, all really had to stick to their task, didn't they? It's so difficult when you're under it. You haven't got a lot of the ball. You've got to concentrate, haven't you? And it's constant pressure because the way Liverpool play, they win the ball back early. Or when you clear your lines, it's going to them because you commit a lot of men forward. So the ball is coming back and it's like, if you switch off for one minute, you're in trouble. But these are the levels that the Everton players have to do week in, week out, because we've seen, we know they can do it. And this was a great game to win. But you've got to do it against the Follum at Holman. You've got to do it week in, week out. This is the standard, and we know they can hit the standard because they've kept the champions quiet at Holman and won the game in the Merseyside Derby, which is brilliant. And deserve to win it as well, Beth, if I may say so. Yeah, with the game plan, 100%. What did you make as your own pick for this performance? A lot of people have questioned him at times and he hasn't had a great time at Amfield in particular. But that saved from Henderson's set him on his way, didn't it? Beth, as I've questioned him at times, I've got to be honest because you say what you see and a couple of years ago, the mistake he made gave me one of the most difficult times in a football stadium. It was, it was 0-0 ever and had done so well. And my mate, Red Nose John, absolutely give it to me when the goal went in right at the death, you know. You can imagine, and I'm surrounded by Reds, so it was tough.  So, I think he owed us that performance and he owed himself that performance, he was outstanding, mistake free, which really helps.  Yeah, 100%. I mean, that's all I kept saying to myself, please keep a clean sheet, please, because it's so important. Obviously it meant we'd won the game, but it was so important anyway. Were you impressed with the way they did stick to the game plan? Even in the second half, it was, you know, the two banks are four, Rajalis and up on his own. I mean, how did you rate his performance, Kev? Because when you're up on your own, you've played that many a time. You don't see a lot of the ball sometimes, but you've got to be switched on as well to get old of it and try to buy you some time. Yeah, I thought he'd done really well, I really did. Because what you've got to do, you've got to try and occupy all of the back four. And you're one person and you're one person to occupy all of the back four. You think, how do you do that? You've just got to try and be busy. You've got to try and get hold of that ball when it comes. Get a free kick here and there. Buy, give the defenders a rest, give the midfielders a bit of time to move up the pitch. Then you can go from there. That's what you've got to do. I thought he'd done that great. Obviously, he scored after three minutes, which, hey, it's a great opportunity. Put it away, first chance with a fantastic boy by Rodríguez. But again, I thought he played, he led the line really well. It's difficult because he's isolated, but he put a shift in and then obviously he got some proper relief when DCL came on in the second half and Ciggy came on. He gave us a bit more legs there as well. I thought we won it at a counter. What's with you in the end? I mean, how good was the second goal? Because obviously Dominic Cromon and really started putting himself about winning headers, you know, getting testing their two centre backs. But the goal itself, well, the penalty, what led to the penalty. Great ball out front Tom Davis, lovely spin by Richie Arlison, and then Dominic Calvert-Lewin turning into a train, running through and people have told me it wasn't a penalty. I don't know what game, we must be watching different games. Honestly, we must be watching different. My answer is, if Trent Alexander-Arnold isn't there, does Dominic Calvert-Lewin score? The goal he's laying on the floor, the ball's free. He's got a tap in. Why would he go down? I mean, just to clarify, Kev, was it a penalty for you? 100% it was a penalty. 100% and listen, if it wasn't, I would say, you know what, I'm a bit dubious. It wasn't even, it wasn't even, it shouldn't even have gone to VAR. No. Well, they've said he went to it whether to send them off, didn't he? That's what they've said. I don't know whether that's a fear of course. So I think because Trent Alexander-Arnold made an attempt, a tackle, that's why he stays on the pitch, that's why he gets a yellow. He didn't make an attempt and brought him down, then obviously it's a red. It was a stonewall penalty for me. And obviously because of the VAR checking all that, Sigarton's got time to think then, hasn't he? So how cool a penalty was he? Well, look, the referee helped because he didn't take him long. He didn't take him long the night was better. He just had a look at it right. That's good. But you know, the pressure, Annie rolled in, no fans. The pressure's on Siggy, but he dispatched it beautifully, didn't he? It was clinically done and 2-0. I thought it was about right, if I'm honest. Liverpool, Hefton, Pafton, you know, you have to defend well, but I thought Everton were superb defensively. And they looked more of a threat when it mattered. Yeah, I mean, Sigarton almost made a 3-0 with a Weldy right at the end, but it was a great performance. What have you made of Ben Goffrey this season, Kef, coming into the side? Really like him. Looks to me. I've seen him play multiple positions. Looks like he really takes pride in his work. Wherever he plays, he puts a shift in. And he's got that mentality. He's not going to get beat. He's got that tough mentality that you have to have. I like his work ethic. I like his mentality, like I say.  So he's one that's going to be in and around that first team for a long, long time. And I think he's going to have a big career at Everton. Yeah, he's been absolutely fantastic. So as a performance at Amfield, it went to plan pay effectively for Carlo Ancelotti, didn't it? What have you made of Everton this season? Cos obviously we're doing really well. There's 14 games to go. They're still in with a shout of the Champions League. It's a strange season anyway. So what have you made of Everton? I think Everton have made definite progress this season. Always the issue for me, Baz, was you took the Cortina engine out and you put the Rolls-Royce engine in with Alan, the Cormorate and Jaime Rodriguez. Obviously with Gomez chucked in there as well. You've got your Rolls-Royce engine. But it's when those players don't play, the likes of Tom Davis, if they step up to the mark, I think he's been superb. He's improved as a player. And you need that. Alan's not there. You need somebody to step in. Tom Davis has been superb. And there is a transitional period of landmarks that this team have to get over. For instance, in the FA Cup game against Spurs, that is a big hurdle to get over. Extra time against Spurs who have a great record at Cudduson Park. Keep pegging Everton back, but you beat them. Everton win the game. Great. Then midweek, what Everton don't have is the opportunity to be able to say, right, I'm going to change five on the front, six players. And then you've got the energy from the top end where you can keep the back end similar. But you've got the energy to break the ball and hunt the ball in front of you. Defenders have an easier day. Have that. They look two yards off it against Follum. And that's the thing that you're battling against. The squad is okay, but it's not there yet. That's going to take time. But Carlo Ancelotti, trust me, he knows. He don't need me to tell him. You don't know as well. When you are moving in the right direction and you are going to be challenging, when we move into that brand new stadium, the squad has to be in place. Two players in every position. If you need to change six players or seven players, you can change them and the team won't be any weaker. That's the key. And it's getting there. But, you know, Everton have a big chance. What four in games to go? If you told me this at the start of the season, Baz, four games to go, we just have beaten them in the derby. You take it, would you? Oh. You take that. 100%. And there's an opportunity there. Europa League, Europe is a big thing for Everton. It would be great, it would be fantastic to get in the Champions League monetary wise and being able to strengthen the squad. But even a Europa League for Everton, just to keep that momentum going and move the club on another level. I think the Champions League might be a little bit too much of a stretch at this time because we're seeing the differences and then the switch flicks off and then Everton don't perform in a game and get beat by a lesser team kind. So, you know, obviously if they address that in the last 14 games they have a chance. But there's a lot of teams who are probably a little bit further along the line who are going to be covered in those Champions League spots. If I'm going to make Europe, I think it's been a great season. To be able to progress in the FA Cup. That's the one. But what that Liverpool results could do is galvanise the team because whoever they play, whoever comes in their way, can they win on the day? Yes they can. It's all about game planning. If you stick to the game plan and you could defend properly, you have a chance. Anybody, you have a chance. So fingers crossed and could perform on the day. You never know. Gallen Bach, like you've said, Dominic Alvitt-Lewam fully flying again. And who knows on the day if we defend properly? Why not? Arsenal beat them in the semi-final of the cup last season. Arsenal never had a chance. People never gave Arsenal a chance. Arsenal defended properly and they caught them on the break similar to what ever to Liverpool. Sometimes that's what you have to do. You have to make it a little bit ugly. The players have got to know when we get a chance to break and hurt them, you've got to take it. Everton are learning, they're learning very quick on the Carlo Ancelotti. Yes it's all going really well. Let me just talk to you quickly about Dominic Alvitt-Lewam because I know when you come in and done the podcast we had a good conversation about them and you were saying that when you'd seen them you were saying to get in the box. It seems that's exactly what he's done. He's been great between the two posts. 100%. I'm sure Big Dunk is really mentoring him behind the scenes because he's a changed player. He's a changed player. Let's have it right now. Not only is he a changed player, he's a full England international and scored goals and he's Everton's number nine, which is fantastic. We don't want him doing his work in the channels too much because of the way Everton played he needs to be in the box. That's where he's going to get his goals and he's proven now he can score in bunches and he can score regularly. Fair play to the young man. He's done fantastically well. I think he's only going to get better because he's young enough to learn more and he will. What does he in your opinion need to do better to true increase? I think he needs to hunt space a little bit more in the shoulder of the cent halves because it's great when he's back to goal all the time.  That's the perfect centre forward for you. Because he's fantastic in the air isn't he? His leap is unbelievable isn't he? He's tremendous in the air. I mean we saw for the penalty at the weekend the pace of him he give Liverpool's defenders five yards and beat them by five yards he can't do that over the top. He's the next winger and wingers like obviously like to know that they can use their speed but playing as a striker it's a different discipline so your runs and your thought process have to be a little bit different when you play number nine but he can outstrip a lot of defenders in this league he's quick, he's fast, he's strong so I mean when you've got Hamish Rodriguez in that midfield get on your bike DCL, I'm telling you because he could thread a needle from ten yards get on your bike because he will find him he really will find him I think there's more goals in Dominic Calvert-Lewin on in space as well if he can master that. You know when you look at Everton and you see strong defensively because our best performances have been away from Gooderson Park this season and we've had a strong defensive performances Do you see a way that we could have Richard Allison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin closer to each other with Hamish behind and still maintain that defensive? Do you think they might be better as a two? Because Richard Allison seems to love playing as a centre forward as well. You know why he loves playing as a centre forward best? Because that's where the goals are where the goals are any forward, any striker you want to play in the middle when you're wide you're a bit out you know you hit it and he's good with both feet and he's in the air as well with Charles we're sitting them players or two and be very effective I don't think Carlo wants to do that because I think he wants to control possession a bit but I think at home sometimes you can change the formation to a 4-1-4-1 so you could have one up front but you got four just behind so you could have Richard Allison and Hamish Rodriguez just behind you could have whoever a little bit wider the core array with Richard Allison as one of the wider players by coming in they've got licence to go where the defence don't want them to go so I think there's opportunities to get Richard Allison a bit more inside so to Dominic Calvert-Lilm for sure because we just add the opportunity for goals and if we improve our goal you know I'll put and keep the defence tight then it's the perfect solution it's more of a headache for the defence but if you've got more threats on the pitch not just Dominic Calvert-Lilm with Richard Allison pushed out wide you've got Richard Allison coming in who do they mark who do they take it is a headache I could see that coming I could see Carlo Ancelotti making some subtle changes to the team give defenders and teams defence his nightmares Definitely and just finally I've come obviously Everton doing well if we get to the summer what areas would you be looking for them to strengthen again because obviously last summer people the Corian who's been fantastic Alan Hamers Ben Goffrey came in and Everton have gone up a level and obviously the improvement of Tom Davis like you've already said what do you think Everton would be looking for this summer to again continue that improvement? I still think Everton need probably another midfielder mobile midfielder because remember we're talking about people and players and a wide man I think a wide man who can beat somebody that is Dominic Calvin will be licking his lips because if you have a wide player who can beat somebody then the defence are compromised and when a cross is coming in whichever side it is he's heading towards goal and the defenders are heading towards their own goal then you're in business and have a striker and I'm most keen he's doing so well at PSG might be some business that Carlo Ancelotti does but if you don't have him then obviously you probably have to go in the transfer market and get another one because somebody who could help Dominic Calvin again it's more threats the more threats Everton have is the more games Everton's going to win Outstanding and absolutely Kev and finally you touched on it before but today Everton have been granted plan and permission by the local city council it's got to go to national government but all the signs are really good that's a big step in Everton's development I think it's a big step and I know there's a lot of work going into getting it to this stage all I could say is congratulations to everybody at the football club who have worked so hard to get it to this position we know it has to go another level up and then it gets rubber stamped but once it gets really done at a local level there shouldn't be much problems at the level above it's a tremendous opportunity for Everton now they've got the right manager which has been a question in the past they're building a team to be proud of which is important I know there's a few steps to go to get the team where it needs to be we've had a few false dawns we've had a few false dawns but with Don Carlo and Big Duncan everybody in the background pushing it in the right direction I'm sure when that stadium is ready and open there'll be a team fitting to grace that pitch and make Evertonians proud I'm sure What a way to finish Thank you so much for taking time out there I know you're absolutely up the ball at the moment but lovely to talk to you and talk about your record finally gone but just part of the club now just part of the club that's it I could sit down in the exclusive club now and watch the games I could chill out a little bit now then it's rolling me out every year probably that's what Carragor wanted to allude to it ended up being a little bit painful to be honest because that was a long time ago before my son was born and now my son's a pro he held his son so How's he doing? How's he doing? He's back on his feet he wants to come back quick but they're having to calm him down a little bit but he wants to come back but he'll be back he'll be fine but what an incredible opportunity for Everton to move into that ground and it's superb I'm proud I'm very proud Sadder days it'll be when we leave Goddus and it is sadly we do need to move to keep the progress going and it will look lovely on the banks of the Royal Blue Mesa that stadium I can't wait to go it's going to be brilliant and fitting for the football club because it is a sign of progress for sure Definitely Kevin Lysian Thank you very much for taking time today No problem guys up the toffees you know that Definitely Big thanks to Kevin there make sure you give the video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos join us on Patreon See you later

God bless.


Welcome to Power Up Hawaii, where Hawaii comes together to walk towards a clean, renewable and just energy future. I am your host, Raya Salter. I'm an energy attorney, clean energy advocate and community outreach specialist. I'm also the principal attorney of Imagine Power LLC. Today we're going to take a look at important energy and utility news from Hawaii around the country and the world, as reported in the last week. First, let's take a look at some recent developments in clean energy and clean energy policy in the islands. Lots of stuff going on today. So, energy usage halved at Hawaii's airports with LED lighting and solar systems. With an aimed reduce energy consumption, the Hawaii Department of Transportation has moved into the second phase of its energy savings performance contract with multinational conglomerate Johnson Controls to provide energy efficient lighting at 11 Hawaii airports and solar PV systems at Honolulu International Airport. Phase two of the contract guarantees $65.5 million in energy savings through the replacement and retrofit of 47,747 existing fluorescent lamps to LED lamps, the application of high end trim to 8,256 LED fixtures. Now this customizes the light level for an area in order to prevent using more energy than is necessary. And the installation of 15,683 PV roof mounted panels, including parking lot canopy systems at the Honolulu International Airport, capable of producing 5.3 megawatts of power. So, the total energy savings guaranteed at Hawaii's airport exceeds $606 million over a 15-year period, with the addition of phase two, according to the Department. Phase one and phase two combined will see an installation totaling about 98,000 lamps and over 24,400 PV panels, which is expected to bring in almost 8 megawatts of energy savings in power generation. So, construction to implement phase two is planned to start over the next 24 months and is funded by realized energy savings instead of taxpayers' money. So, this is a wonderful example of how energy efficiency continues to be a win-win. And I think it's so exciting when you see projects of this magnitude, we see thousands and thousands and thousands of light bulbs and PV panels, what we're really talking about is updating our infrastructure to be more modern. And I know that things like LED lights sometimes don't seem that exciting. But I think almost all of us have walked through that Honolulu airport and sometimes it feels like Elvis is about to get off the plane. It can feel retro.  Just moving to more modern lighting fixtures and other improvements, including the PV and the parking, that also sounds great, can save huge amounts of money. I think we saw $606 million over 15 years and, of course, continuing phase two is actually paid for out of the savings that have been achieved as opposed to getting new monies from taxpayers. So, I think we need to see a lot more of these kinds of projects. I think it can be somewhat controversial. You know, we've got infrastructure and this is not only in Hawaii. This is across the country. Our utility infrastructure is at a point where it's been aging 125 years plus. For most of it, of course, we know Hawaii had some of the first electric lighting in the country in Eolani Palace. And building infrastructure, we've got a lot of old buildings, these grand structures that we put up. It's been more than 100 years, 80 years, 50 years. We've got some crumbling infrastructure. So it can be challenging to put clean and renewable power on top of crumbling infrastructure. And one thing that I think can be utilized in almost every situation is energy efficiency. So at the very least, go in, save money by investing in some new equipment that's going to just save money. So congratulations to the success of Johnson Controls and the Honolulu Airport for really showing us how a win-win can modernize our infrastructure, save money, save energy, and help the environment help create a more sustainable Hawaii. Next, 15 clean economy startups have been selected to advance to the final round of the Verge Hawaii Accelerate Fast Pitch showcase. Now we've got a list of finalists. I'll go ahead and read them because it's fun to sort of just hear the names of some of these cool new companies. So the finalists are Boy Labs, Challenget, Challenget, Challengenergy, Challenergy, Challenergy Inc. I question their name. It's a little hard to pronounce. Go Electric, GridCure, Hi-Five Energy Systems, Iteros, Prosumer Grid, Repower Capital, Retrolux, Software Motor Corporation, Solstice Energy Solutions, Solstice Power Technologies, Swift Mile, Touchlight Innovations, and Wedge Global. So what's happened here is there is a public voting period. So for those of us, the Verge conference happens in June here. And it's also put on by the Hawaii State Energy Office. And every year they have a contest that sort of pulls together some folks who then get to sort of present to this audience about their business. And it's a good place for them to showcase. I was there last year. And there were several memorable companies that pitched the work that they were doing. You had these sort of, for the most case, young CEOs who have these great ideas. And they come forward, talk about them. And then the people at the conference actually vote. So during the, so this is the preliminary voting period. So thousands of votes were cast to help choose which of the 22 semifinalists would be invited to pitch on the main stage of Verge in Hawaii. In addition to public votes, finalists were selected based on eligibility criteria that include. So this is cool. This is what's happening with the startups now. Developing technology solutions, they have to be commercially applicable products or services now, related to at least one of the following Verge-Hawaii topics. So that's distributed a renewable energy, transportation, agriculture, water, or infrastructure resilience. So being incorporated with a product ready for testing or deployment, having less than $5 million in combined investment in current revenue. Verge-Hawaii Accelerate provides exposure for early stage entrepreneurs whose technology innovations support the transition to 100% renewable in Hawaii and beyond. Finalists will deliver their pitches from the Verge-Hawaii stage to hundreds of business leaders, government officials, and investors, as well as thousands more tuning into the global Verge virtual live stream. So again, fun, cool to hear what is going on. You know, now is a great time, I think, to be an entrepreneur, to be teaming up with engineers, coming together with ideas that can form solutions, and going ahead and run to market. The risk is high, yes. The reward, potentially astronomical. The competition, extremely intense. But I do think that we're in a position in a market right now where we do have some venture capitalists. We have more nonprofit, more foundation funders who are looking to do impact investing. So it's just really cool and a, you know, a neat thing. And I think it's awesome that Verge is sort of working this angle. And I look forward to seeing who wins the competition. So next up, the Department of the Navy Pacific Energy Solutions and Hawaiian Electric and the Hawaii State Energy Office celebrated the completion of a 14.3 megawatt direct current solar facility at the joint base Pearl Harbor Hickam in Waipio in Hawaii. The completion of the project was commemorated in a ribbon cutting ceremony April 28th. And notable ceremony presenters and attendees included Rear Admiral John Fuller, Commander of Navy Region Hawaii, Rear Admiral John Corka, Commander of Naval Facilities Engineering, Command Pacific and U.S. specifically Civil Engineer, John Clime, Executive Director, DON's Resilient Energy Program Office, Captain Stanley Keeve Jr., Commander, Ron Cox, Senior President of Operation and Hawaiian Electric, and Dr. Terrence Searles, Interim Administrator at the Hawaii State Energy Office. So we've got a quote, Our Navy is tough during wartime and well-preserving peace. That same level of determination drives day-to-day problem solving as well as our approached energy security. We are bold in our thinking, embracing innovation and new technologies just as we have done throughout our history. Our senior leaders empower us and expect us to be adaptive, resilient and forward-thinking. That applies to both our nation's defense and to our commitment to energy security, Fuller said. So Pacific Energy Solutions built and will own, operate and maintain the solar facility and the installation will be the sole consumer of the power produced by the PV facility under a contract referred to as a power purchase agreement. So, you know, it's great to hear such you know, bold and vision-oriented language coming from the Navy. I think the Navy in particular has really been a leader over the past, well, I think our military has been leaders for a long time in developing new technology, including new energy technology. And I think the Navy in particular, at least, very least under the Bomb Administration, has really stepped forward to push forward on policy, to push forward on technology. The Navy understands that clean energy is a big part of our energy security, and I know I've talked about this before, but one thing that came out of a lot of the issues in the Iraq war in Afghanistan was realizing the vulnerability of supply chains, especially fuel chains, going to remote areas. And that's where a lot of our servicemen and women have been killed or injured.  And really, I mean, of course, supply chain vulnerability is nothing new, but with the advent of solar technology, I really think that narrative helped really power a big difference in the way a lot of people think about solar energy and green energy and at least distributed energy, no longer the province of greenies or tree huggers, people all across the board, I think, understand more and more of the importance of this type of technology to our energy security. So certainly the Navy have been very prominent in making that happen. So moving on, Jumpstart Maui stakeholders announced the successful completion of Jumpstart Maui, a collaborative demonstration project between Japan, Hawaii, and Maui that incorporated smart grid, renewable energy, and all electric vehicle solutions in Maui's electrical grid. Now the goal of Jumpstart Maui, based on a US-Japan government agreement, was to demonstrate smart grid technologies to enable the efficient use of renewable energy in an island setting. The project would aggregate and control distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and other innovative technologies to respond to changing demands on the grid caused by the increasing levels of as available renewable energy. Jumpstart Maui installed 13 DC fast chargers in Maui. MedBee and Hitachi Advanced Clean Energy Corporation continue to provide good charging service with members participating in the project. Since the project launched in June 2011, 530 residents and businesses participated in this demonstration project that was conducted in two phases. In phase one, the project reported more than 200 EV owners or lessees of the Nissan Leaf and 30 homeowner volunteers. The Leaf was selected because of its battery size. Now Jumpstart Maui installed 13 fast charging stations across Maui, the first such installation in Hawaii. Participants were offered access to the fast charging stations as well as the installation of level 2 chargers and smart energy monitoring devices at their homes. During this phase, valuable data was collected from volunteers to evaluate how these devices could contribute to the electric grid with more renewables being integrated. Phase two advanced the next phase of energy management for homes and businesses. A total of 80 volunteers were provided with the EV power conditioning systems. These were units they got at their homes. As part of the demonstration these EV PCSs and now this is a technology developed by Hitachi charge the EV and discharge the power to the home or business or to Maui electric in response to the needs of the electric grid. The overall goal of this phase was to create a virtual power plant that would integrate and manage distributed renewable energy resources such as EV batteries within the electric grid for the benefit of the community. Jumpstart Maui was funded by Japan's largest public research and development management organization. Stakeholder partners include Hitachi Advanced Clean Energy Corporation along with Mizuhuo Corporate Bank and Cyber Defense Institute. Nissan, the state of Hawaii, the county of Maui, Maui Electric and Hawaiian Electric Company. Also Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, Maui Economic Development Board, University of Hawaii, Maui College, a long list of folks and as we said this enabled the installation of a total of 13 DC fast charging stations. Battery energy storage systems were installed at UH Maui College and wastewater treatment plant too. So 200 level 2 chargers and 80 of these devices were installed at the volunteer sites. So we'll talk a little bit more about Jumpstart Maui when we come back from our break. Please come back to join us soon at Power of Hawaii. We're going to talk a little bit about this project in Maui so just really we really went over it we talked about who all the partners were but I think this is a this has really been a big step forward for a number of reasons some of which you may not have originally thought of. So we're used to people who aing up lots a lot to the the same folks getting together to do stuff but this is something that really move forward and why and yeah a lot of folks wanting to see equal public private partnerships and wanting to see a lot of things go forward. Why do I think this move forward? I remember watching a presentation about this project back in 2014 and I thought what the difference was is that volunteers and other volunteers who are both participating in the program but also volunteers for the community went out into the community and went and spoke at you know public gatherings knocked on doors recruited people to participate spoke to people at their homes and places of business in schools about this program and what it could mean and that I believe it's that working with the community that ends up bringing these projects to light and bringing them forward. I think you know we talk about islands as successful laboratories you know if we've got a relatively small community we can do the work to reach out and talk to each other and see what our needs are. I know that New York has had a lot of really ambitious community energy projects and ideas and I know that when I've spoken to people there a lot of them are moving forward but I think the hitch is who's going to be that glue who's that glue who can go out and see who in communities are going to be receptive how has the ability and skill set to work with that community really understand what their needs are and then bring them together with the right types of entrepreneurs business people government funding it's that glue but I think in many cases is missing so it is fantastic that Maui is moving forward with phase two people have been talking about virtual power plants collecting data and then actually leveraging that data to sort of move on to some of this more fear what has before been theoretical this idea that you could have an actual customer asset like an electric vehicle car battery that then by this technology that they that 80 customers took that you can put that in your your house I presume and then it can it can if you've got solar well I'd be interested to know more exactly about where exactly how this works but what I do understand from the article is that you've got the energy in the car battery that can then be dispatched and to sort of fill in the gaps as needed on the grid and that when you can compile this you've got maybe 10 20 30 40 100 200 300 EVs that you can do this with you've got a virtual power plant and it really changes the way we think about who generates power and who accepts power when you think about this virtual power plant being your car and who wouldn't like to think of their car which for many of us outside of what we pay for our home is our sort of biggest expense being able to be an asset in new ways and also helping electric vehicles be something that could be more viable and add value that just sort of ricochets across the electric system across the transportation system and can really go a ways towards getting us off fossil fuel which as we said before can help clean up communities lower our carbon footprint clean up the air and increase our energy security so cool yay Maui on the cutting edge as usual working with communities and harnessing cutting-edge new energy technology lots of news out of hawaii so as reported by the associated press the hawaii legislature concluded with a sudden change in leadership in the house of representatives ending a session marked by failure to pass a major bill to fund Honolulu's troubled rail transit project and the death of many other significant proposals hawaii representative scott psyche was elected speaker Thursday last Thursday after representative joseph soukey stepped down as part of a dramatic close to the 2017 legislative session last Thursday was the final day of the session and many bills died at the last minute as lawmakers focused on finding a way to continue funding the planned Honolulu rail project the price tag for rail has ballooned to an estimated 10 billion with financing costs and is facing a shortfall expected from 1.4 billion to 3 billion so because the house in the senate could not reach agreement on the rail finance bill lawmakers may be called back for a special session but disagreements over rail funding held up a number of other bills in the final days of the session among the bills that died was a proposal to set a clean transportation goal to use 100 renewable fuels by 2045 bills that sought financial incentives for installing renewable energy storage systems also failed so i think it's been a bit of a tough season at the ledge this year you know it's it's funny these are you know completely separate but sometimes a big elephant in the room can whether or not you're looking at it it can suck all the air out of the room i feel like the next era merger proceeding was sort of one of those elephants there were so many things going on at the puc but that particular you know it seemed like nothing could move nothing could breathe nothing could move forward or get off the mark until that decision was made and i think rail is having that similar or evidently had that similar effect this season we'll see you know how the state moves forward on a big important infrastructure project and what that will also mean for process and other bills so moving on this is not about hawaii but it's about a professor who is based here and it's really cool it's been reported that a new process for water filtration using carbon dioxide consumes 1,000 times less energy than conventional methods according to scientific research published published recently the research was led by dr oris shart of the university of limerick ireland together with dr sanghu shin who's now at uh while they were post-doctoral researches at princeton last year with a global demand for clean water increasing there's a continuing need to improve the performance of water treatment processes shart expects this new method which uses co2 could be applied in a variety of industries such as mining food and beverage production pharmaceutical manufacturing and water treatment the research published in open access scientific journal nature communications and indicates that the new process could be easily scaled up suggesting the technique could be particularly beneficial in both the developing and developed worlds the new method could also be used to remove bacteria and viruses without chlorination or ultraviolet treatment so fantastic news you know it's we know that water has become in short supply in many many regions many jurisdictions including california in no small part due to climate change and we know that the loss of water is a cause of many conflicts and actually it's one of the causes of the conflicts that are happening in syria right now so it's wonderful technology can't always come to the rescue but it's wonderful when technology can come to the rescue it'll be exciting to see if we can have this water filtration done with so much much less energy than than is used before it is used now one thousandth of the energy that does so much to conserve energy make water filtration more affordable and more doable for people who's so very desperately needed so congratulations i think it's fantastic that a uh scientist is part of this incredible invention and we wish this invention the best of success as it goes forward more interesting news there's so much going on really u.s senators back a bill to reauthorize research of wave power so u.s senators ron wyden organ angus king main jeff murkley of oregon and our own brian shots including mazy uh and mazy harono announced jointly on may 3rd that they had introduced legislation legislation to increase domestic production of low-carbon renewable energy from the natural power and ocean waves tides and currents the marine energy act would reauthorize 60 million annually from fiscal year 2008 through 2022 for the department of energies marine renewable energy programs among them initiatives at r&d demonstration centers nationwide including one operated by oregon state university and others right here in hawaii and addition to florida in addition to authorizing funding the bill directs the doe to research how to build a stable marine energy supply chain in the united states and to find ways to ensure that the technology coexist with other types of offshore energy and fisheries indeed according to a may 5th report by e&e daily the department of energy estimates that marine energy also known as ocean wave energy could produce enough renewable energy to power more than 200 million american homes the senators say federal funding is key to realizing that potential because the technology is still in the early early stages of development so this is of course very exciting very interesting this is high politics of course we've got uh we've got our own senators here and some others looking to bring back some funding for wind power and wave power research i believe this is something that has been teed up for a long time we know that they're heading into what could be a very hostile republican majority at the you know at the federal level president donald trump has come out against clean energy development i think he's come out for coal and against clean energy and as if we have time we'll get to later has also signaled that they're looking for ways how they can reach into state renewable energy mandates by saying that they believe that having mandates renewable energy could compromise the grid and that could be a federal matter so i think it's interesting at the same time we know that in the last budget bill we did not see the rollback in a epa funding and we did not see the rollback happily for the east west center and a lot of other projects in hawaii so it'll be interesting to see this go forward i for one would love to see this research go forward it would provide potential valuable information potentially a some prototypes and also bring some industry to the state so i wish our senators best of luck there's also a another bill has been introduced to overhaul and streamline the current system for federal energy tax credits so that's another interesting item because you know i think a lot of folks have been thinking what about the existing tax credits on the federal level and are they going to disappear under a trump administration in fact i think it's been fueling some energy deals that want to happen before some of that goes away so it'll be very interesting to see what happens there so it's interesting i think that they're coming forward with ways where they want to see these tax credits streamlined and improved i don't know if this is them trying to get ahead of what they may fear could be a rollback of those of those incentives under the trump administration but certainly they're taking taking the lead and looking to be proactive and say we've got great programs how can we finesse this so it can have even more impact i for one would want to see more thought going towards who the tax credits end up helping in terms of company and what sectors of the economy because a lot of the rooftop solar tax credits ended up getting the industry going but ended up healthy helping the wealthy so how can we make sure we get inclusive policy that helps democratize clean and renewable energy for as many people as possible so that brings us to the end of another edition of power up hawaii thank you so much for joining me signing off this is raya salter aloha and mahalo


On the 2nd of June, Prime Minister Wilson of Great Britain was welcomed to the White House. The visit had been arranged some weeks earlier to discuss the urgent problems common to both governments. However, a crisis, one that developed with dramatic and startling suddenness, would be given priority. The recent impasse in the historically explosive Middle East situation. We come here today, in another time of trouble, when peace and justice are again in the balance. And it is on occasions like this, that the Council of an old and trusted friend is most welcome. Israel, facing yet another climactic point in our 19-year struggle for survival, saw not only the threat of maritime blockade, but to some dire profits, the threat of extinction. With the United Nations peacekeeping force withdrawn, with all attempts at private negotiations failing, solutions through diplomacy and United Nations intervention seemed increasingly remote. The time for talk was over. Together, Great Britain and the United States drafted a maritime declaration to be circulated among the world's seagoing nations. Its principles were simple and basic. The Gulf of Acaba was an international waterway. All nations have the right of free and innocent passage. With the maritime powers uniting in a common front, they hoped to challenge the Egyptian blockade of the Strait of Tehran. All in all, it was a gamble against time. And time, Prime Minister Wilson declared, is not on our side. The President received the first word of the fighting at four o'clock in the morning, the fifth of June. In the situation room of the White House, the all-too-familiar maps of Southeast Asia had been replaced with those of the Eastern Mediterranean. The President had been every effort for two weeks to avert hostilities. And now that diplomacy had given way to war, his one compelling task was to contain it, to tamp it out. The team had been assembled, men for whom foreign affairs have long since become a way of life, and as one columnist observed, for whom foreign crises have become the coin of daily living. As the war progressed, false charges would be made, attempting to brand the United States and Great Britain as active participants. The unspoken peril lurking behind each embassy report, each cable, was the ever-present threat of direct confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. And now, with fighting in progress, it was imperative to avoid miscalculation, misunderstanding. At eight o'clock, the Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and the President of the United States exchanged direct teletype messages, advising that their respective governments would not intervene with armed force. That one exchange said more than weeks of diplomatic effort. At that moment, the world was apprised of the fact that the two powers could, with restraint and reason, prevent conflict from spreading, and ultimately engulfing others. Directly following their initial conference in the situation room, he asked Secretary Rusk and Secretary McNamara to brief both Senate and House leaders. The President returned to the Oval Office to monitor the initial exchange of statements on the floor of the United Nations Security Council. The Council had been called into urgent session upon the outbreak of hostilities. It was through this forum that the United States would now concentrate all its energies to bring about an immediate ceasefire. As the day developed, the major obstacle to agreement on a ceasefire lay in the question of troop withdrawal. Under the leadership of the Security Council President Hans Tabor, a draft resolution agreeable to the competing interests would be drawn up on the following day. As in the agreement to contain and limit the conflict, the key to the unconditional ceasefire lay in the joint and parallel action of the United States and the Soviet Union. The news flashes clarified the situation. It soon became apparent that the Middle East power patterns of a decade were being changed in a matter of hours. Military analysts called it a lightning war. Although the fighting would continue for six days, the verdict of the battlefield had been rendered during the opening round. The road to a permanent peace in the Middle East would be a long one. Far more issues were raised by the fighting than were so. To coordinate American policy on the problems the government would face in the aftermath of the conflict, President Johnson established a special committee of the National Security Council. He asked McGeorge Bundy to serve as its executive secretary. The war on the deserts of the Sinai involved far more than governmental concern. Blood ties, national origins, and deep-seated sympathies made themselves felt virtually to the doorstep of the White House. By the 8th of June, only the Arab state of Jordan had agreed to accept the ceasefire resolution. At the very moment that President Johnson was drafting a statement on the current situation to Senator Mike Mansfield, word was passed to the White House and the nation alike that Egypt too had agreed to the ceasefire. By the 10th of June, Syria, the last Arab holdout, agreed to a ceasefire. The fighting was now stopped. At his 100-second news conference, the President advised that the best action for the moment was to let things clear up and let the people of the area and the world realize just what had happened. The tensions that had built during the first 10 days in June were dissolved in a welcome round of old-fashioned partisan politics. Returning to Austin, Texas, the hub of his old congressional district, Lyndon Johnson was greeted by incumbent Congressman Jake Pickle. It was a good time to meet a whole new generation of constituents, including at least one who seemed a little unsure of his political convictions. However, a little persuasion from the number one party leader was all that was needed to bring him into the fold. The main event of the evening was a Southwest Democratic dinner with loyal fundraisers from five states attending. Also sharing in the festivities, daughter Lucy, soon to be visited by the stork. The tab for the evening was $1,000 per plate, but on the menu besides crab meat cocktail and Kansas City strip sirloins was a Democratic Party approaching solvency. And for the President, it was a chance to relax in a down-home atmosphere. After three weeks of wrestling with the Middle East, it's a real pleasure to come home tonight to the peace and quiet of Texas politics. In case there should be an evidence tonight, any differences of opinion, I want to make my own position abundantly clear in the beginning. I am for peace, territorial integrity, political independence, and the unrestricted navigation in the Houston Ship Channel. The President returned to the White House for the mid-month round of duties, and among them, some rewarding moments of office. He had often remarked that one of a Chief Executive's most important jobs is attracting able and talented public servants to Washington. The month of June would see two major appointments, first Alexander Trowbridge as Secretary of Commerce, and Thurgood Marshall as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The President introduced Mr. Marshall to a group of 121 teenagers, the Presidential Scholars. Each had demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, and each was awarded a special medallion in a White House ceremony. Lyndon Johnson, perhaps more than any other President, is at his best when challenging the youth of the nation, and he does it at every opportunity. If you're looking for energy and you're looking for enthusiasm and you're looking for courage and fearlessness, you can find it with our young people. I've seen it among the White House fellows, and I've seen it in the Washington summer interns, several thousand we've brought here. I've seen it in the Peace Corps, and the VISTA, and the Teachers Corps. To a graduation class of capital pages, for the world that you enter very much needs your help today. Our nation is called upon not just to maintain the blessings that we now enjoy, but to multiply those blessings, to improve the world for all people, and to prove it for generations yet to come. Your lifetime, the days ahead of you, you're going to have to completely rebuild this country. You're going to have to clean up the get-goes. You're going to have to tear out the slum. You're going to have to rebuild the cities and the factories. Lyndon Johnson was not the only national figure stumping for youth on the South lawn that afternoon. Making an impromptu appearance was a Johnson favorite, Dr. Billy Graham. The well-known evangelist reminded the group that as they took inspiration from the president, he in turn needed their strength. Billy Graham asked everyone, whatever their religious background, to pray that God would give the president strength and wisdom at this hour in the history of the world. On June the 14th, the Middle East was again the focal point of White House deliberations. The newly appointed crisis committee convened late in the evening. A Soviet resolution calling for a censure of Israel had been rejected by the United Nations Security Council. The Russians in a surprise move called for an emergency session of the General Assembly. The delegation due to arrive in three days would be headed by none less than the Soviet Premier Alexei Kosigin. On the day the Russian Premier arrived in New York, President Johnson made a short hop to Dulles Airport to greet Prime Minister Holt of Australia. The Prime Minister was en route from Expo 67 to Los Angeles. He had made a red carpet visit to the White House earlier in the month, and now he would be the president's guest for a quiet weekend at Camp David. With the informal atmosphere of the presidential retreat a backdrop for unhurried discussion, they covered the whole spectrum of Middle East problems. The almost insoluble question of the refugees, Israel's territorial gains, the Arab refusal to accept Israel as an independent nation. But as far as the press was concerned, there was only one question. Would there be a meeting between the big two? As the president made it clear he would be happy to see the Premier, Prime Minister Holt showed as American host why Australia has, over the years, dominated the court. Following a quiet service in the Harriet Episcopal Church, the President reminded the daughter of the commandant that it was Father's Day, and undoubtedly sensed momentary anticipation at the thought that he himself soon would be a grandfather. On the following day, at a foreign policy conference at the State Department, the President offered his formula for lasting peace in the Middle East. The Middle East is rich in history, rich in its people and its resources. It has no need to live in permanent civil war. It has the power to build its own life as one of the prosperous regions of the world in which we live. And if the nations of the Middle East will turn toward the works of peace, they can count with confidence upon the friendship and the help of all the people of the United States of America. Our country is committed, and we here reiterate that commitment today to a peace that is based on five principles. First, the recognized right of national life. Second, justice for the refugees. Third, innocent maritime passage. Fourth, limits on the wasteful and destructive arms race. And fifth, political independence and territorial integrity for all. On June 22nd, the President invited four distinguished guests to the White House. Britain's Foreign Secretary George Brown, Premier Otto Craig of Denmark, and from Italy, Premier Aldo Moro, and his Foreign Minister Fanfani. All four had been attending the emergency session at the United Nations, and each in private conferences during the day informed the President of the views held by the various delegations. The President discussed with each guest the five-point peace proposal he had made the day before, and reviewed developments in the Middle East since the ceasefire. He brought each up to date on arms shipments to the troubled region, again expressing the hope that arms shipments should be recorded and publicly disclosed. As the President conferred with his guests, Secretary of State Dean Rusk was finalizing arrangements for a summit meeting. At 6.34 p.m. on the 22nd of June, a modest stone house in Glassboro, New Jersey suddenly became a permanent part of the world's history books. The White House announced that President Johnson had invited Chairman Kosigan to meet with him at 11 o'clock the next day at the home of the President of Glassboro State College. Chairman Kosigan had accepted. It was no Yalta nor Geneva, but a simple 19th-century home near an early American farming settlement, yet in its own way a uniquely appropriate setting for the two statesmen who would meet there. Both possessed unimaginable power, yet both were unpretentious, straightforward. Both had sat in the company of kings, yet both understood the language of the farmer and the factory worker. In this simple arena, they would face each other for nearly 10 hours. Both becoming, for a brief moment in history, the focal point of a troubled world's hopes and prayers. I had to meet with Chairman Kosigan this morning to talk throughout the day quietly and straightforwardly with him. And I'm glad to say to you that I've found that he came to our meeting in the same spirit. We talked about the problems of the Middle East in detail, and we shall continue to talk about them. We talked about the problems of Southeast Asia. We've talked about the arms race and about the need for new agreements there. We talked about the need for common action on constructive initiatives for peace. We reached no new agreements, almost but not quite, but new agreements are not always reached in a single conversation. So we're going to eat lunch and spend Sunday together again at Holly Bush. The first day of the summit talks was over, but for the president there was still much work to do. After assuring the thousands of enthusiastic onlookers that the meeting had been a very good and useful one, he bid a momentary goodbye to his historic guest. This was the 25-hour day. He had been on the go since 4.30 in the morning, and he had 5,000 miles and 12 more hours to burn before there would be any rest. It would be difficult to pinpoint any moment in Lyndon Johnson's political career, as satisfying as this 23rd day of June 1967. He had fired the imagination of the public with the sudden bold moves that led to the face-to-face encounter at Glassboro. At a $500 plate dinner for the President's Club of Los Angeles, he was able to announce that financially the Democratic Party was over the top, the $4 million debt had been paid. And if that wasn't enough good news for one day, he could relish the report he had received only 18 hours earlier. He was a grandfather. It was now Saturday, the 24th of June, in a small room in Austin, Texas. I would like to help make a world for young Patrick Muget and his contemporaries in every land that will be safer and will be more prosperous and more hopeful and certainly more peaceful by far than the world that I have inhabited. So working together and reasoning together and planning together and being patient and understanding together, I believe that we can achieve such a world. On Sunday, the 25th of June, the President returned to Glassboro. This time he brought the family. On hand to welcome them back were New Jersey's Governor Richard Hughes and Mrs. Hughes, who had been instrumental in making Holly Bush available. Some differences between the two statesmen still remain, but nothing could dampen the spirit nor the ardor of the day. The Premier was accompanied by his daughter, Ludmilla, and for the rest of the day, she would be the special guest of Mrs. Johnson and Linda. As the second day of talks continued, heavy rainstorms lashed the campus, but the thousands who had come to witness history stood their ground. They had talked for more than four hours, delving even deeper into the many questions that separated their two countries. At 6.20 in the evening, they had finished. We have made further progress in an effort to improve our understanding of each other's thinking on a number of questions. I believe more strongly than ever that these have been very good and very useful talks. Premier Kosigan had been visibly touched by the warmth and enthusiasm exhibited by the people of Glassboro. He personally thanked them and saluted friendship between the Soviet and American peoples. These meetings just have not ended our troubles and our dangers, and I cannot promise you that that will not happen again. The world remains very small and very dangerous, and all nations, even the greatest of them, have very hard and very painful choices ahead of them. What I can tell you, and I have no doubt about it at all, is that it does help a lot to sit down and look a man in the eye all day long and try to reason with him, particularly if he is trying to reason with you. And that's why we went to Holly Bush this morning, and reasoning together there today was the spirit of Holly Bush. On the 27th of June, after a week of exhaustive effort within the framework of foreign affairs, President Johnson turned his energies towards his domestic programs. At the Junior Chamber of Commerce annual convention, he spoke out for the things that were right with the country. He praised the doers, the builders, but to the doubters and the cussers, the draft card burners and protesters. You say to them that it's not absolutely essential. It's not a prerequisite.  The month of June was virtually over. On what one staffer called a good news trip, the President saw partial fruition of his greatest ambition, the continual strengthening of his own people. In Philadelphia, in the heart of an impoverished area, the President visited the Opportunities Industrialization Center. He had heard about the Center for Months, a community-built school where unemployable residents, instead of resorting to protest and despair, were picking themselves up by their bootstraps and learning a trade. I saw human beings that had cried in their eyes instead of fear. Their shoulders spraped and high and their chin up. The federal government did not do this. The federal government did not build this center. What built this center is the spirit that's in the breath of every human that's a part of it. The spirit that wants to say yes to life itself, that wants to affirm the dignity of man, whatever his origins, whatever his race, whatever his religion. So if I had to sum up my feelings in a single phrase this morning, I would say to all of you, I believe we're going to make it.


Never allow a response in a room to govern or tell you the quality of what you're carrying. Never allow whether it is applause or people looking bored. Never allow that to tell you how good or bad a job you did. If you did the best you could, their response is pretty irrelevant in terms of you knowing I did a great job. No one may ever tell you that.


Jacob Frankel, thank you very much for being with us. You are a former governor of the Bank of Israel and you are the distinguished chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase. International. International. A simple question. We seem to be in almost a permanent low interest rate situation. What are the implications for central banking and for economies in general? Well, indeed the process started already seven years ago when in the midst of the crisis all central banks together adopted very dramatic measures along with governments. Nobody at the time thought that those unconventional measures will last for so long. There are some good reasons for it, but the reality is that now at the end of 2015 there is greater recognition, definitely in the United States, that it's time to exit. One of the reasons is not because people choose higher interest rates because they like it, but because having a very long period of time in which interest rates are so low, create some distortions and have and has some unintended consequences, in particular because of the nature of the financial markets. People who have been savers are now facing a situation where their savings are yielding lower returns. They will start chasing for higher yield. Which means greater risk. It means greater risk and it also means that some of the activities that they will gravitate towards will be in areas that are less regulated and therefore the risk is not only higher but occasionally not always fully perceived. Let's put it in one general way, especially in areas like housing. Bubbles normally occur in environments of low interest rates rather than high. Therefore, once the authorities, especially the Federal Reserve, recognize that the economy is sufficiently robust, they will be delighted to start raising rates and it will be so. But you are also, I think, the head of an organization, the group of 30, basically former central bankers. What can you do about this? Well, we have just issued a report which is called the Fundamentals of Central Banking, Lessons from the Crisis. One of the messages in this report is to central bankers, please don't throw the old textbooks away. They will prove useful. Of course, there are some new chapters. It will be a waste if we did not incorporate the lessons. So the key principles are first, price stability is still the major element of the mandate of central banks. That's the best way that central banks can contribute to sustainable growth. But the recent events have also demonstrated that this is in itself not good enough. You also need to keep your eye on financial stability. And financial stability is central and therefore central banks need to be given the instruments to deal with it, like macro prudential tools. All in all, it has to be done in a context of independence from the political setting and also transparency and accountability. Once this is in place, I believe that the long way will be... I mean, is there a role for the WPC in this? Because you have a... There are central bankers here, ex-central bankers. There are politicians or academics. What do you think the WPC can do? Well, of course, the WPC is an extremely important organization exactly for the reason that it brings together the private sector, the public sector, bankers, central bankers, officials from all over the world. And the domain of the integrated world is all over the world. That's the story of globalization. So by the more you interact, the more you increase the understanding about the way in which the world economy and the world geopolitics operate, the better is the contribution that you make. Diego Franco, thank you very much. My pleasure.


We're all familiar with grasses that form a sod, a thick mat of vegetation that is connected underground by roots and stems. However, in Wyoming and elsewhere in the West, many grass species do not form a sod. Instead, they grow in clumps, sometimes with lots of bare spaces between plants. So what's up with that? Isn't this bare ground a waste of productive space, a place where weeds and erosion can occur? Actually, bunch grasses make sense in places that don't get a lot of rain. Bunch grasses have extensive root systems that spread out into those seemingly bare spaces between plants. They very efficiently absorb any rain or snow that falls there and concentrate it into the vertical growth of the clump. Bunch grasses often produce as much or even more forage on the same site as the low-growing sod formers, and they hold the soil equally well. When you see bunch grasses growing on Wyoming range land, you're just seeing another adaptation to our dry climate. Bunch grasses are often a sign of health and productivity.

The Allied Fifth Army rolls on in the face of incessant rain, scenes such as these depicting something of the terrific obstacles barring the road to Rome. Rivers are roaring torrents. Pontoon bridges thrown up by engineers are pounded by the flood. Knee deep gives way only to modern road building equipment. Red Cross worker braves the quagmire to carry freshly baked American donuts to troops bogged down along the roadways. Colonel Clark, Fifth Army Commander, enjoys lunch along with his men. Religious services for American troops in the shadow of the Apennine Mountains. An army chaplain conducting mass within sound of the guns. .55's score a direct hit atop Mount Camino, one of the Nazi strong points. Her is terrific. The Zuccas, the infantry's new rocket gun, are devastating. The hospitals, plainly marked with the Red Cross emblem, operate within a few miles of the fighting front. Here blood plasma sent by civilians in America is saving lives that might otherwise be lost. Please continue the advance. The ruined streets of an Italian town, Americans move in cautiously. Booby traps and land mines are favorite souvenirs left by the enemy. The road back, Nazi prisoners on their way to the rear. Following closely in the wake of the fighting, ambulance units are tireless in caring for the wounded, hopeless civilians looking to the United Nations for peace and relief from war. Looking 90 miles across the South Pacific from bases in New Guinea, American Liberator bombers bound for the Japanese held island of New Britain. New Britain, between New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, was once a German colony. Then an Australian mandate until captured and fortified by the Japs. The Americans objective, the Arawe Peninsula, 356 tons of high explosive softening up enemy positions in the jungle below. It's core to make their attack with the pounding from the sky. It moves in. The beach head is one. Most of the Gilbert Islands is another point of attack. Though small, mock-in is of great strategic value to the United Nations. Navy cameras synchronized with blazing guns record the story as American planes blast and riddle Japanese shipping trying to bring reinforcements to the island bases. In the air script, Yankee planes brave a hail of anti-aircraft fire. Jap bombers are destroyed on the ground. Leaming from the north, General MacArthur's sixth United States Army moves in. Lieutenant Colonel James Roosevelt at right, son of the president, serving as an observer. Japanese bomber is driven off. Thur receives a direct hit. His forces storm the beach. His treetop snipers and hidden machine guns. And the island base is one. The entire garrison is wiped out. Those who would surrender are taken as prisoners. Miles across water from Rabaul, main Jap base on New Britain, is the last of the Solomon Islands in enemy hands. Reveals Empress Augusta Bay, heavy reinforcements pour in to strengthen the American position. The Marshall Islands, a United States carrier task force, writes a thrilling epic in this new phase of war in the mid-Pacific. 72 Jap planes shot down in this one engagement. Their torpedo planes desperately attack. Superior marksmanship sends them flaming into the sea, making the offensive in the Pacific.
