تفوته آدك الأيام فتا أول و لكن once is not least that we need to look at which is what does this hadith contradict another narration and the answer is no So this hadith we will say تة وفرت جميع رشورات الصحة all of the conditions of authenticity are present and there is no There is no Weakness of it so I just had a simple Whilst I'm on that point I have to mention something very important, which is الممراريزة هي ايضة سامة . when we say that the narrator has to have memory it's two types. There's a memorization which is called ضبط سدر , the memorization of the chest. Some individuals they are able to keep it in their hearts and they don't need to look at anywhere , they have their الممارسة في حالة جيدة. ماذا يعني أنه يمكن أن يبقى في his mind when we say that he's got memorization of the chest or he's got memorization of the top of his head. What does that mean? It means anytime he requires it and he needs it, he is able to bring it out. He won't look for it. Whenever he needs to use it as an evidence, he would say حدثني عبد الله من يوسفين. قال أخبرنا مالك عن محمد بن الشياب الزهري عن محمد بن الشياب الزهري عن محمد بن الشياب الزهري عن محمد بن الشياب الزهري عن محمد بن جوير بن مطعم. قال سبعه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقرأ صورة الطور. I heard the prophet say صورة الطور. Then he's able to bring it out whenever he needs it straight away. He doesn't have to look for it. Very good. It is called وَهُ أَيَحْفَ ذَرَّا وِيُبَا سَمِعَ عُرْحِفْضَنْ يُمَكِّلُهُ من استحباره. The minute he took it, until he gives it, he's got it with him and he can bring it out whenever he needs it. The next type of memorization is called a person who's memorized it from his book. He's memorized it from a book. He hasn't got it with him. He has it in a book. In order for us to say that he is a person who has got memory of the book, it means that he knows his book inside out. He has to memorize his book. That's a bit tricky. It means that if somebody goes and tries to tamper with his book, he can recognize and say this wasn't in my book. He knows his book very well and that he is able to protect his book from the fingers of those who want to tamper with it. And that he knows his book and no one can fool him with his book. So he knows his book very well. The author after that says that we finish صحيح right now. We're going to move on to the next line, the fifth line. والحسن المعروف طرقا وغدت. رجاله لك الصحيح اشتاهرت. The author here, he mentions the hadith which is حسن. He says والحسن المعروف طرقا وغدت. The hadith which is حسن. The hadith which is حسن. حسن means a في حديث or a sound حديث. A hadith which is حسن is the one whose root are known. The root of it and its chain is known. Good. It is known. It's known. And what رجاله لك الصحيح اشتاهرت. And its narrators are not as famous as the authentic chain of narration. The narrators are not as famous as the authentic chain of narration. They are not as famous as they are. This line, بيقوني said, is questioned and is incorrect what he has said. And the correct way of saying it is والحسن الخفيف طرقا وغدت. رجاله لك الصحيح اشتاهرت. And this is استدراك. Put by a doctor Abdul Sattar Abu Ghuda. He put a استدراك. He corrected it. Which means the hadith which is حسن is not المعروف الطرقا وغدت. It's not معروف. It's not that the tradition of the hadith is what. It's known. That's not the right way. It should mean that the chain of narration, the individuals that are in it, their memorization is slightly deficient compared to the authentic narrators. That's it. The only difference between the authentic hadith and the hadith which is حسن is the narrators of the authentic hadith have full memorization. Whereas the narrators which are in the حسن, they have slight deficiency in comparison to the authentic. Their memorization is not 100%. 70%, 80%. Good. Very good. And it follows it with the other conditions. The other conditions are still present there. The chain of narration has to be connected for both of them. For the authentic and for the hadith which is sound. Both of them, the chain of narration are connected. The same. Both of them cannot have what? They can't have any hidden defect. Both of them can't have any شذوث. They can't have no opposition. They can't be anyone who is opposing the hadith. They are both the same on that. Also, both of them, their narrators have to be reliable. So they share that the same. Those four conditions are the same for both of them. But the only thing that they are different on is which. It is the memorization. The people who are authentic, their memorization is high. Whereas, the ones whose hadith are sound, their memorization is not 100%. An example for that is the hadith of Abu Hurairah. That Imam, the hadith of Abu Hurairah, that Imam الذهب يبروء in his book الميزان والاقتدال because of the narrators in there. That the Prophet ﷺ, he said, اكتروا من شهادة الله إلا الله. Increase in the utterance of الله إلا الله. Say Allah. لا إله إلا الله. لا إله إلا الله. As much as you can. Say it. Why? قبل أن يحال بينكم وبينها. Before there comes an obstacle between you and its utterance.  Sorry.  The messengers said لقنوها, teach him and make him utter the shahadah. سيدو لا إله. سيدو محمد. سيدو لا إله إلا الله. سيدو لا إله. Keep making him say لا إله إلا الله. This hadith is Hassan. This hadith is Hassan. Why is it Hassan? Because in the chain is a man by the name of ضمام ابنو اسماعيل. And this individual, ضمام ابنو اسماعيل. This individual, ضمام ابنو اسماعيل. He is, as Imam Dhabi mentioned in his book ميزان الإعتدال. He said صالح الحديث لينه بعضهم بلا حجة. He's حديث الصالح. It's good, decent. Some scholars, they weakened him without any proof. لينه بعضهم بلا حجة. Some of them said he's light, he's weak. But Imam Dhabi said without evidence. أبو زورة العراقي. No أبو زورة الرازي. أبو زورة العراقي. In his book, also in the book They Will Cache. He said that Imam أحمد ابنو حمبل said about إضمام ابنو اسماعيل. Imam أحمد said about him صالح الحديث. His hadith is good. أبي حاتم الرازي said صدق. But he's متعبد. He's a worshipper. Now some of you may not know those terminology that the scholars of جرحب التعديل they use. What does he mean he's a worshipper? The reason why he's referring to him as a worshipper is because the worshippers were known to what? They were known to mix up حديث. And because worshipping has overcome them and they've just become worshippers. They will just narrate a hadith which are weak. They will mix things up. Their memorization wasn't on point. So أبي حاتم is critiquing him here. He's saying he's a truthful pasameel. He doesn't lie. His عدالة is good, but he's ضبط. His memorization is what? Isn't that all that? And Imam النساء is said about him لا بأس به. There's no problem with him. No problem. So ابنو حجر. And Imam ابنو حجر. In his book تقريب التعديل. What he does is he brings all of those who critiqued him. And he brings all of those who praises him. And then he brings a fair judgment out of it. And he says something like صدوقون وربما أخطاء. He's truthful and sometimes he does mistakes. So if that's the case. Because of his memorization he might do a mistake. This حديث لا ينزلوا حديث عن دردت الحسن. The hadith does not go below the standard of حسن. It doesn't go below that level. But if that individual wasn't in there. The Imam ابنو اسماعيل. The hadith would have been صحيح. Because of his memorization. The hadith went low. Okay. Very good. So we've taken an example of حديث حسن. And we've taken its definition. So حديث حسن again means what? Who الحديث الذي تصل سندو. It is the hadith that the chain of narration is connected. بنقل العدل. With narrators who are reliable. They are reliable. But الذي خفض ابطل. His memorization is slightly deficient. No. Isn't that high? Good. من غير شوذوذن. But there is no contradiction. There is no opposition. There can't be. Also وَلَا عِلَّة. And there can't be a defect. Which is? Which is hidden. Very good. The sheikh then says after that. وَكُلُوا. And everything. Everything what? Every hadith that goes what? وَكُلُوا عَنْ. And every hadith that falls عَرُتْبَةِ الحُسْنِ. Every hadith that falls short. Below the rank of what? Of this hadith which is sound. The hadith which is حسن. Any hadith that falls Below the sound hadith. It doesn't reach that rank. It doesn't reach being حسن. It's below it. He said to you Then this hadith is weak. فَهُوَدْ بَعِيفُ. This is weak. It is what? It's weak. So any hadith That doesn't reach The rank عَرُتْبَةِ الحُسْنِ It doesn't reach the rank of a sound hadith. قصر. It falls short. فَهُوَدْ ضَعِيفُ. It's weak. وَهُوَ أَقْسَامًا كَثُرْ. And it is many types. And there are many subdivisions That fall under it. وَهُوَ أَقْسَامًا. There are many subdivisions. So he's talking about There are many weak types of narrations. حديث which are called weak. Many types. Example of a hadith which is weak Is that which has been narrated By Imam Uttirmidi, ابنو ماجه, الدارمي, أحمد ابنو خزيما. They all narrated it. On the authority of Abu Said الخذري. رضي الله تعالى عنه. That the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم They said he said إذا رأيتم الرجولة If you see a man يتعاهد المساجد فشهدوا له بالإيمان If you see a man Always going to the masjid Always participating in the Jama'a He's always there He's always in the front row Taking part They said that the prophet said شهدوا له بالإيمان You can testify that this person is a believer Straightaway You're a Mu'min أخي You're a Mu'min This hadith is weak ضعيف Because In the chain of narration There is an individual By the name of درارج درارج ابنو سمعان أبو السمح أبو السمح He's in the hadith إمام و الذهب He said about him درارج This man درارج ابنو سمعان أبو السحم أبو السمح Sorry أبو السمح He said he is what درارج كثير من مناكير He has a lot of hadith Which are مونكر What does the word مونكر mean We're going to come to it إن شاء الله He has many hadith Which are strange and weak إمام أحمد said أحديثه مناكير All of these hadith are مناكير ابنو حجر said صدق He's a truthful person في رواياته In his narrations from who عن أبو الهيثم صدق في رواياته عن أبو الهيثم ضعفن Sorry He is reliable ابنو حجر said He is reliable He's a truthful person But in his narrations from أبو الهيثم He is weak In his narrations from أبو الهيثم He is weak And this hadith That we just brought right now Is a hadith of أبو الهيثم In which he narrated it from دراج ابنو سمعان أبو السمح This hadith Is from the hadith Which he narrated it from أبو الهيثم So it's weak Because of that One individual The hadith is weak Very good The author then says وما أضيف للنب المرفوع وما لتابع وما المقطوع The author goes into The eighth line And he says وما أضيف Anything that is attributed وما أضيف Anything that is attributed للنبي To the messenger Anything that is attributed to the prophet Is what It is the tradition Which the scholars of hadith would call it مرفوع مرفوع means reason So anything that is attributed Anything that is attributed Anything that is attributed To the messenger Is called مرفوع That's the word for it Anyone who says the prophet said this He's just done رفع right now The word مرفوع is when somebody Rises something up Means it's risen up to the messenger وما لتابع هو المقطوع And anything that is Ascribed To a تابع A تابع is the student of the companion It's an individual who met a companion But he had never seen He never saw the prophet He saw the companions But he never saw the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم So he's the student of the Companions So the hadith That's ascribed And attributed To the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم Is called مرفوع And the hadith which is attributed To the تابع The student of the companion Is referred to as what المقطوع It is referred to as what المقطوع It means phrased It means what? And when something is ascribed To the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم They are ascribed To him by one of four ways These are the four types of Attribution Or it being attributed to the messenger It's one of four It is either a statement Which is being attributed to the messenger Number one A speech is being attributed To the messenger By saying that the messenger said this It is what? A statement that is being attributed To the messenger Number two is an action That is being attributed to the messenger For example a companion may say That I saw the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام In doing this So he's attributing an action To the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم The third thing That would be attributed to the messenger Is a consent Something which he consented to He agreed to It was done in his presence عليه الصلاة والسلام And he showed affirmation He agreed to it And did not show any form of rejection This is called a تقرير That's a way of criticism Meaning that this was done in the presence Of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم This is an evidence To say that he didn't reject it The fourth type of attribution is What? The fourth type of attribution is The prophet's description How he looked Which is For example the hadith of كان أبيض مليح مقصدا The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم He looked like this He looked like that In the books of شمائل المحمدية That he wasn't صلى الله عليه وسلم He was white He was white It was It was added to it a reddish color So he wasn't black And he wasn't pale He was one who had A brownish complexion عليه الصلاة والسلام But closer to the whiteness عليه الصلاة والسلام Meaning it was white that was red Was added to it Also he صلى الله عليه وسلم Wasn't what excessively tall The descriptions that have been attributed to him عليه الصلاة والسلام Also A description is his character His character That which عائشة said about him كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أحسن الناس The prophet was the best people when it came To etiquettes and manners وكان خلقه القرآن And his etiquettes and his character Was the Quran He was the walking عليه الصلاة والسلام He lived by the standards of the Quran To use that word He was the walking Quran is incorrect Because it was somehow ascribed to the Quran That the Quran is created So to say that the prophet was the walking Quran Is trying to say that the Quran was created What you say is That the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام Is عليه الصلاة والسلام Was the Quran Was his character The Quran Whatever the Quran ordered Whatever the Quran prohibited He stayed away from it So going back to what I was saying The things that are attributed To the messenger are four types Speeches Actions His consent And last but not least Descriptions Or characteristics That's the first part It's called Which is وما لتابعين هو المقطع تابعي is who تابعي is the one who met the companion Who met a companion And he met a companion In a state of Iman He saw the companion And he was a believer when he saw the companion But he didn't see the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم He did not see the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام He met the companions And the second thing is called اي تابعي Where ever is ascribed To the student of the صحابي Where ever is ascribed To a تابعي is called مقطع And English is called مقطع What is it that can be ascribed To a تابعي Only two things can be ascribed When Imam Hassan Al-Basri was asked About the prayer behind an innovator Can you pray behind a person who is an innovator Hassan Al-Basri said صلى الله عليه وسلم His innovation is on him Why do you care about his innovation Go and pray behind him So Hassan Al-Basri that's a statement That's ascribed to Hassan Al-Basri Hassan Al-Basri is a تابعي He met the companions But he didn't meet the prophet Also an action That's ascribed to a تابعي Is called مقطوع الفعلي Which is for example For example saying عمر من عبد العزيز عمر من عبد العزيز was one Who recited This verse of the Quran Before he died عمر من عبد العزيز He recited the ayah تلك الدار الأخرى نجعلها للذين لا يريدون علوة في الأرض ولا فسادة والعاقبة للمتقين And he was reciting that verse Until his righteous wife فاطمة Was listening to him And she said he read it so many times Until his voice went with the recitation So this is an action That's been ascribed to a تابعي Good The author then goes on to say والمسند المتصل الإسنادي من راويه حتى المصطفة ولم يبين The author now is talking about something called A musnad A musnad Is A hadith The author says The musnad is A hadith المتصل Which is connected The chain of narration is connected The musnad is a hadith And it is not broken Until what Until to the narrator To the one you are ascribing it to The hadith is connected والمسند المتصل الإسنادي The chain of narration is connected مراويه from the one who is narrating it to حتى المصطفة until the prophet The hadith is connected from you to the prophet This hadith is called So two things he said It is ascribed to the prophet And it's also authentically transmitted The chain of narration is connected That is called a musnad There are also other meanings that a hadith Which can be called a musnad But the author doesn't mean it here The author here only means two things It is the hadith which is مرفوع And it's what It is also متصل That's all he wants It has to be ascribed to the prophet And it has to be authentically ascribed to the prophet And it also has to be authentically ascribed to the prophet If it's authentically ascribed to the prophet And it is the prophet Who has been ascribed to Then this hadith is called a musnad But if a hadith is authentically transmitted Or ascribed to A صحابي It's never called a musnad according to The author here There are other meanings that the word musnad means The musnad has another meaning It is a hadith Which compiles هو كتاب جميعات فيه مرويات It's a book that compiles The narrations Of every صحابي Individually And that is إمام أحمد's musnad إمام أحمد if you open his musnad You will find all the hadiths of أبو بكر in one place All the hadiths of عمر in one place All the hadiths of عثماني بن عفاني in one place And this is called a musnad All of the hadiths of each one's صحابي By itself, separately But the author doesn't mean that right now He means the other meaning Which I mentioned which is المرفوع المتصل سندن Good وما بسمع كل راوين يتصل إسناده للمستفى فالمتصل The author here What he has said Means Or he is talking about Something we already spoke about Which is What does it mean The hadith is connected What does it mean It's a connection That's all he explained to you He told you that He tells you here He said وما بسمع كل راوين يتصل And whatever Is connected by the hearing For all narrators Every narrator He hears it from the other Then this is called فالمتصل To the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم This is called a متصل Every hadith Which is connected From every narrator He narrates it from the other person He met him and he narrated it from him And the other one narrated it from the other one And the other one narrated it from the other one And the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم He said that this is called connection He is just referring to the متصل And we already spoke about that Before But here it's a bit Incorrect He is trying to say that It is only called متصل The hadith is only called connected When it's described to the prophet And that isn't the case If a hadith is connected to the صحاب It's called متصل It's also called متصل So that's why الشيخ عبد سطار أبو غده He done استدراقه And what did he say? He said That's why it's important Whoever you're finishing it at Whether it's a صحاب Whether it's a تابع Whoever you're attributing this statement to That is called متصل Whether it's a prophet Whether it's a صحاب It doesn't matter That's why we said Or more like The reason why the الشيخ عبد سطار said it Which is correct

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 a clean 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. So let's go ahead and take a look at some recent developments and clean energy and clean energy policy in Hawaii. And there is always so much going on and clean energy in the islands. The biggest thing probably happening for anybody who watches Think Tech would definitely be that Verge 2017 kicked off today at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. So Verge happens each year in partnership with the Hawaii State Energy Office. And it has come back to Hawaii to try and move the conversation forward, the conversation about the state's transformation to a clean energy future. So we've got Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit is the focus, and we're going to take a look at how the technology itself can help the state achieve its ambitious mandates for 100% renewables by 2045 while making the economy more robust and resilient. So I think a lot of everyone's going to be at Verge. Everyone is always at Verge every year. Last week I spoke, I think twice at Verge. There's always a lot of exciting things happen. You get new tech companies. I think it's neat. This time we're going to have a focus on the technology itself.  Is it going to be the same crew all coming around together to talk about the same stuff? In my experience, no, Verge is exciting. Come in from all over the world to see how Hawaii is leading on clean energy, the state energy office. Make sure of it. Everybody who's anybody's there. In fact, I'm here. I'm missing Verge. So we'll see what comes out of Verge this year. One of the technology companies that's actually going to be featured at Verge is Maui-based five energy systems. So I think this is a cool story. We've got a company that's coming forward with what they're saying is a fully integrated energy storage system for commercial and residential use. So the residential storage system is designed to store one full day of energy needs, the company said in a statement. So combined with a rooftop PV system, the system enables customers to eliminate monthly utility bills. I've recently installed its first residential system on Maui after it received approval from the PUC. So in a quote from Hive, Hive's battery storage systems are the ideal solution for any off-grid or grid-tied residential application. So this is from the CTO of Hive. Now, the storage system does not require solar energy. It can also be used with wind or any type of renewable energy source. Hive also installed its first commercial battery storage system on Maui. The 500 kilowatt-hour unit could, in combination with a 140 kilowatt PV system, deliver energy free of natural fluctuations that occur during the day or after sunset, the company said. Why is this so important? Why am I bringing in news of one company based on Maui that's moving some storage forward? We've talked about this a lot in the future. We know we had the end of the net metering program, which was clearly a great deal for those who could afford to or just have the will to get involved in reducing their energy bill and using solar and being able to sell their excess energy back to the utility at the retail rate, which is the exact same rate that that person would pay. This created some real bill savings for a lot of folks. We've talked here about the controversy about that, and I think studies have shown that in places like Hawaii where there is a tremendous amount of PV, rooftop residential PV penetration, because of high energy prices, it can create some inequities in terms of wealthier folks taking advantage of those programs and other folks remaining on the grid and having to pick up those costs. The utility also claims that there are services that they provide to those customers that they are compensated for. Those on the other side, however, they'll say several different things in defense of net metering and in defense of residential solar. A, we need to have private actors, the private market and residents be a part of this clean energy revolution. Folks have the right to generate their own energy if they so choose, and we need solar energy. We need solar power in order to get off the field. So we've had this debate. What happened in Hawaii? They shut down the net metering program as we all well know, and they came up with these two grid and self-supply programs, and we're going to talk a little more about that, and we've talked about it in the past. But these programs, both of which are cap, at which the status tried to address, have had some problems. They've had some problems in finding a configuration that will work, finding a configuration perhaps not that will work, that will work for everybody, including the permit officers. So it is, and also we've talked about this in the context of the tremendous competition that's happening in the battery industry right now. This technology is coming forward. It's just about, I think it's showing that it's ready to take folks' energy load on their shoulders, and we'll talk a little bit more about that, certainty about these technologies, and what it means for the reliability of the grid writ large. We'll talk about that a little bit later in the show, too. So we've got this technology that's coming forward, becoming more reliable, getting less expensive, however, still expensive, still untested, and you've got a bunch of companies from Tesla and many others who are competing, hot and heavy in this market to provide battery solutions, and it is happening here in Hawaii, here, if not more or first than other places. So when a company comes forward with a solution that they can get approved, it's a big deal. It's something that we should take a look at in the context of the bigger picture. Let's see. Of course, what we want is the integration of more clean energy. We want customers to have flexibility and power to make energy choices and reduce their energy bills if they so choose or go off grid if they so choose. However, we need to make sure that the rest of the folks on the grid, including low to moderate income, don't end up holding the bag and also see clean energy and the benefits of clean energy and the benefits of great relief. Boy, that's a lot to say. But these are issues we talk about all the time on the show. So cool. Let's watch five energy and how it performs, just like we're watching Tesla on Kauai to see how it is performed. So more about this issue is in this next story. So Hawaii Energy Industry stakeholders and the city and county of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting have been working on improving the process for battery storage permits. And according to reports, it has paid dividends. So Hawaii Energy stakeholders in the city and county have been working on improving this process. And they've been meaning to make it happen. And so they say battery storage permits are being approved at a much faster pace here. So this is what the Hawaii Solar Energy Association is saying. Elemental accelerator, the Distributed Energy Resources Council of Hawaii, and HSD-A collaborated on the effort to improve the permitting process. So last month, the number of PV systems with battery storage permitted by the department reached a new record, according to an analysis of data from the department. Of the 163 PV permits issued on Oahu in May, 13 included battery storage permits. So the quote is, after the involvement of a number of parties, it would appear that the permitting department has begun to open the gate to allow more battery systems to be installed. Says, think tech's own Marko Mango Store of Hilo-based provision solar. You conducted the analysis. So with over 600 battery-based customer self-supply PV systems in the HECO pipeline, as of late last month, and only around 40 of them approved for operation, there remains a substantial disconnect between sold and permitted customer self-supply systems. So we talked about this story before, too. We've got, I think it was just last week, actually, there's a glut with permitting. I mean, there's, some may argue there's often been a glut in terms of getting clean energy projects all the way through the approval process. But there's been a real glut, a real sort of blockage of permitting for the storage aspects. Now, of course, if we're in the grid supply or self-supply program, odds are you're going to have a storage component, because this is actually going off the grid, you're going to need storage for when there are others. What the other story calls natural fluctuations at different times of the day and at night. So you kind of have to have a way to account for battery plus PV or wind or energy efficiency or whatever else somebody wants to have on that system. So what's been happening as the article says is that the PV, I think what has really been happening according to folks I've been talking to, folks are used to the specs on the PV. They're used to how they perform. They've got industry warranties that they've come to understand. The folks at the permitting office are not expected to be the AC triple E scientists who are figuring out whether stuff is going to be good or safe. So here comes these battery systems, battery systems, some of them with one. I think the word I heard is that some of them are being put with sort of an excess of battery storage, if you want to say, more than one system that I think caused them head scratching amongst the folks at the permit office. So we've had these projects come forward wanting to participate in these programs and they can only get one piece of the project approved and that's got to be really frustrating when you feel the clock is running on your investment and you want to get moving and participate in this program and clear this queue. So according to the story, we've still gone along queue when it comes to these programs, but with the help of Elemental Accelerator and other stakeholders, folks who do the batteries, the group that works with the solar, looks like they're coming together to help grease those wheels. And I think that's great. It's good when stakeholders can come together. Let's just always make sure. I just always want to say, I think so many good things happen when stakeholders come together to grease wheels and to help with blockages and move things forward. But I think I'm just always going to be that person who says, okay, where is that low income stakeholder? Where is that stakeholder that has something, has a stake? We're just even a residential customer. That's what I'm about. And it's not the fault of these groups that we may not have those people at the table, but we need to get those folks at the table more and more often and I think we'll have more equitable results as we move forward with our feet. So the next story, which I'll talk just a little about before we get to the break, looks like that we all know that the Trump administration has been not so bullish on clean energy, but it looks like it is still going to come forward with at least $12 million on the ocean power. Folks think that ocean power can compete in the big leagues with wind and solar. Wind and solar power are the heavy hitters of the global clean energy revolution, but the US DOE is still focusing an eyeball on ocean power and things just got a little more interesting. We're going to talk about this more when we come back after this break for PowerUp Hawaii, please join us. Welcome to Sister Power. I'm your host, Sharon Thomas Yarbrough, where we motivate, educate and power and inspire all women. We are live here every other Thursday at 4 p.m. And we welcome you to join us here at Sister Power. Aloha and thank you. Hello everyone, I'm DeSoto Brown, the co-host of Human Humane Architecture, which is seen on Think Tech Hawaii every other Tuesday at 4 p.m. And with the show's host, Martin Desbang, we discuss architecture here in the Hawaiian Islands and how it not only affects the way we live, but other aspects of our life, not only here in Hawaii, but internationally as well. So join us for Human Humane Architecture every other Tuesday at 4 p.m. on. So welcome back to PowerUp Hawaii, where Hawaii comes together to walk towards a clean, renewable and just energy future. I'm your host, Raya Salter. We were just talking about ocean power. It seems that the spite they get about look from the federal folks right now in the Trump administration on clean energy and despite the threat of steep budget cuts proposed by President Trump, Department of Energy is forging ahead with a new round of $12 million in funding for ocean power projects, specifically aimed at accelerating the development of game-changing low-cost wave energy converters. So the 12 million is a giant step up from the first iteration of the Wave Energy Program, which launched back in 2015 with a 2.25 million pot in the form of the Wave Energy Prize talent. So this article is not, this news story is not specifically about Hawaii, but of course it would not probably stretch anyone's imagination to realize that the potential that wave energy would have for Hawaii and the islands of Hawaii. Now the Obama administration had put forward some tests, I think a pilot is what they called it, Project on Wave Energy here. I think we've got some of the best researchers. Offshore wind is something that's been talked a lot about here and I think Hawaii is a sort of clear and obvious spot to try and figure some of these challenges out. This money, however, does seem to be coming forward with an eye towards the northeast. So according to this article, Wave Power has a tremendous potential to provide energy to the east and northeast in particular. So I wanted to be sure to mention this story in that if we're going to be beefing up on Wave Energy, I would like to think that projects in Hawaii and researchers in Hawaii will continue to be on the forefront of that. And that of course is so important. ThinkTech talks all the time about Hawaii as to how important science is to Hawaii and having world-class science that addresses the challenges the islands face that can go on also to help the rest of the world. So in general for Clean Energy, it's good news that we've got this Wave project moving forward. We know the Trump administration is looking to cut back on the Office of Clean Energy Research and Energy Efficiency. I think it's a terrible mistake. I think it's worth noting here that they talk about solar and wind being the big dogs. We don't know, we don't truly know what types of technology could come forward that could continue to transform the state. I think one of the things that's neat when you talk about, when you look at sort of a curve and when they talk about grid parity for solar, meaning that solar power is starting to go at or below the price, the current sort of standard price of traditional coal generation. And you look at that curve and if you look at that curve along a timeline, I've seen ones, a Deutsche Bank study from two years ago, they've got this sort of line, this drop in that curve and they call it the innovation, the innovation. So we can't necessarily predict the things that are coming forward. And while it's been residential solar has been big and large part due to net metering and other subsidies that have created this market and created a lot of awareness. Wind, offshore wind, wave energy, there's a lot that could come forward to help find the solutions that we need for our energy challenges. So that's just sort of a neat thing. In fact, as an attorney, I've often, I've started to think that we need to have more creative causes in some of these contracts because there's a risk, of course, of locking in a price. But if the innovation curve is eminent, query if that's something that isn't valuable enough that the parties can think about allocating. So that's just, that's sort of something I've been thinking about. And since we're talking about finance, I've just got a quick story about the Bank of Hawaii. Bank of Hawaii has reduced its position and consolidated Edison in New York by 2.5% during the first quarter, according to its most recent, Form 13F filing with the SEC. So the fund owned 16,533 shares of the utility's provider stock after selling 419 shares during the period. So Bank of Hawaii's holdings and Consonant Ed were worth over a million dollars at the end of the most recent quarter. So why am I talking about what's in Bank of Hawaii's portfolio? Well, as you know, I came here from the New York City area. I used to work in Con Ed, Con Edison's legal affairs department. So when I see that type of tie, it's something that is going to catch my eye. And I think I wanted to bring it up because it's just important for us to realize how interdependent and global our economies are. I mean, of course, this is Bank of Hawaii's portfolio, but it says a lot, I think, about utility stocks. I'm not trying to make any statement about Con Ed's stock and how it's bearing, but traditionally, utilities have been a pretty safe bet. And it's always important to keep our eye on the landscape in terms of the investors. Investor-owned utilities is this business model that we're engaged in in most jurisdictions. So keeping our eye on the investors, keeping an eye on portfolios and just putting in a little flag, a little marker at how interdependent we all are. So I didn't realize when I was sitting in Manhattan in legal affairs department, eating an awesome Rubin sandwich from Pat's Deli with a people in French fries, that the Bank of Hawaii was part of the portfolio and that I would soon be here enjoying my bokeh. So speaking of flying from coast to coast, something I thought that was worth mentioning that talks about energy and also the natural environment. So a lawsuit has been launched to stop Hawaii's airport, harbor lights from killing rare sea birds. So conservation groups today filed a formal notice of intent to sue the Hawaii Department of Transportation for failing to prevent bright lighting at state operated airports in harbors on Kauai, Maui, and Lanai from causing injuries and death to three species of critically imperiled sea birds. So the Nual's Shearwater is a threatened species and Hawaiian petrels and ban-rumped storm petrels in Hawaii are endangered species. According to today's notice from, ah, excellent. Huei ho'o ma'alu i ka'aina, Conservation Council for Hawaii and the Center for Biological Diversity, represented by nonprofit law firm Earthjustice, the department's failure to protect these native sea birds from harmful operations at its facilities, violates the Federal Endangered Species Act. Since ancient times, Hawaiian fishermen have looked to the particular bird, Nual's Shearwater, to help them find fish, said Kauai fishermen Jeff Chandler. This is from the group that works to protect cultural and natural resources. They're an important part of our culture and the Department of Transportation needs to take seriously its responsibility to protect them. The sea birds circle the bright lights at the department's facilities until they fall to the ground from exhaustion or crashed into nearby buildings. Bright lights have contributed significantly to the catastrophic 94% decline in the population of threatened Nual's Shearwaters on Kauai since the 90s. They have also harmed endangered Hawaiian petrels, whose numbers on Kauai have plummeted by 78% in the state of Missouri. So, you know, this is always, you know, of course this is light, you know, as an energy person, sometimes the world of, you know, what the technology can do to the natural world can become an afterthought, or as a dealer and M&A person, that frustrating thing that's stopping a deal from going through, gosh, those turtles or gosh, whatever, and we're trying to sell billions of dollars worth of, you know, assets to, we're trying to, big things are changing hands.  And it sounds like a 94% reduction and the incidence of this one bird is tragic. According to this article, these lights, there is a way to mitigate these issues. Now I can only imagine that the bright lights at the airport, especially on an island like Kauai, that doesn't have, you know, a lot of lights at night have to be too important for the air, you know, air travel. So, you know, I'd like to think that this is something that could be addressed and we could mitigate how this technology works with the natural environment. And I think that it's really, really important that renewable energy, technologies in particular, seek to be at harmony with the natural environment more and more because it is not a trivial issue that technologies can harm, it can poison the water and the earth that it can harm animals. This is not a trivial issue. And if we're going to have more distributed assets, we need, I personally think we need to see, we've all just gotten so used to seeing these utility poles and wires. We need to move them away from our landscapes. Imagine if Hawaii had not put old folks, they couldn't put big billboards up. Imagine what the drives around the island would look like if the advertisers had their say, horrible. We are, we live without those signs. We could live without all that other of the infrastructure. When we went hiking, we weren't constantly hiking to old pieces of rusty old infrastructure. Those wouldn't be our landmarks anymore. Those can start to retreat into the back. So if we're going to have more distributed energy resources, I think we need to be thinking about these technologies as more of a clean energy for clean energy sake. But do they work in harmony with the environment? Are they eyesores? Can they perhaps even enhance the soil landscape or the health of a particular area or community? So I think it's a big deal if lights are burning the animals and I hope to be able to report if there's been some kind of solution to that. All right, Earth Justice, bring it to them. I think we've got time for at least one more story. This is not about Hawaii in particular, but it is about Hawaii and it's a study done by researchers a few ways. So rising temperatures and humidity will make the world's tropics increasingly unlivable by pushing more people to the threshold of their physical tolerance and beyond a new international study fine. So as of 2000, about 30% of the world's population lived in regions where the climate exceeds deadly threshold levels based on temperature and relative humidity levels for at least 20 days a year, said researchers publishing the nature of climate change journal estimates. So even if we do the best we can to avert climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, that share will rise to about 48% by the end of the century. And if business as usual continues, it's climbed to 74%. So UH is saying, you're gonna have people cooking because we're not going to have any possibility to cope with this increase in heat. So this is Camilla Mora, paper's lead author and an associate professor in the Department of Geography at UH. So what is going on here? Basically they're saying, remember guys, it's not only rising seas, it's rising. The hot pools here in the islands, for example, that are created because temperatures have been rising in certain parts of the water off the island is a harboring of things. Folks, it gets hot. Who does it bother most? Of course, the KK and our old folks and it's coming for the rest of us too. Air conditioning is expensive. It can only do so much. So a big part of resiliency is figuring out how can we keep ourselves cool? We're gonna get hotter and hotter. Folks here aren't, you know, it isn't hot here. Like it can be in other parts of the world like in the Caribbean where the sun really, really baked ya. But this is something we're all going to have to, we're all going to have to deal with. I'll take a quick word about the next story, which is something that could help us deal with it. So folks are getting more and more interested in grid-integrated hot water heating. So right now, most of us have, many of us have, gas or electric-powered hot water heaters in our house and that's actually a big part of what we use electricity for. So those hot water heaters don't have to just sort of live on their own powering all the time. If we can integrate them into the grid, they can be a resource. They can be a resource that can be turned on and off and help grid operators shift energy around and create efficiencies in the way energy is dispersed to the grid. Even more so in particular in Hawaii if we've got solar hot water heaters potentially. So folks are excited about this. Utilities on the mainland are investing in some of this AMI and some of the advanced metering infrastructure and some of the systems that are needed to manage all that data and there's just a lot of interest in that. So let's see if we can get some of that going here too. And I think that'll just about do us from this week's edition of Power Up Hawaii. I hope that you enjoyed learning a little bit about what's going on in Hawaii and around the world this week in clean energy. Thank you so much for joining, that's thank you so much for joining me, signing off your host, Bria Salter, Aloha and Mahalo.


Orthorexia is defined as an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food. Want to know if you're orthorexic? The Orto 15 is the most widely accepted assessment tool to screen for orthorexic tendencies. A score of 40 or lower was considered the best threshold for an orthorexia diagnosis. There are 15 questions. Each scored from 1 to 4, so you can end up with a score of 15 to 60, with a score under 40 denoting orthorexia. So getting 1s and 2s, or even occasional 3 in your answers, would mean you may have it, so lower scores are worse. Okay, let's check it out. The first question, when eating? Do you pay attention to the calories of the food? Always, often, sometimes, or never. According to the test, the healthiest answer is often, with the orthorexic answers being always or never. I can see how always-obsessively worrying about calories could hint at a problem, but if you're eating healthy enough, like a diet centered around whole-plant foods, you don't need to worry about calorie counts or portion control, and the healthiest foods, fruits and vegetables, don't even have a nutrition label. But apparently, if you're never Googling the calories of every apple you eat, you may have a problem. When you go to the grocery store, do you feel confused? Supposedly, the healthiest answer is always. You should always be confused, and if you're not at least often confused, only may end up having to drug you. Question number three. In the last three months, did the thought of food worry you? The supposed healthiest answer? Never. The thought of what you're putting into your body didn't worry you once. According to the test, it would be healthier if you were eating choices where conditioned worries about your health, and of course, taste should always be more important than the quality of your food. I mean, if you think the quality of food is even sometimes more important, you may have a mental illness. And if you're often willing to spend more money to have healthier food, crazy! Are you so delusional that you think consuming healthy food might improve your appearance? My favorite, though, has to be question 14. Do you think that supermarkets also sell unhealthy food? You've got to be kidding, right? And then they penalize people who live alone. If you scored under 40, you are not alone. Using this test, about 50% of registered dietitians in the United States are supposedly suffering from a mental illness. The prevalence of orthorexia nervosa presents as being impossibly high. I mean, anorexia and bulimia are estimated to be no higher than about 2%. And so it's kind of counterintuitive to believe that there's some eating disorder out there that has rates as high as nearly 90%. But no wonder the DSM, the Psychiatry Professions Official Diagnostic Manual, does not include orthorexia as a psychiatric diagnosis. And look, they love turning things into mental illnesses. The latest edition can turn kindergarten temper tantrums into a disorder, too much coffee, or even bad PMS, into a mental illness. But they're still not going to go there with orthorexia. For example, researchers have a tendency to pick and choose which questions of the ortho-15 they use and come up with their own cut-off scores for diagnosis, resulting in an alarmingly erratic use of the ortho-15 tool that was designed to measure orthorexia. The bottom line is that the ortho-15 test is likely unable to distinguish between healthy eating and pathologically healthy eating, whatever that is. And more recently, new criteria have been introduced, given the impossibly high prevalence rates. New emphasis is placed on health problems because of diets, such as malnutrition or medical complications that would, by definition, make an unhealthy diet, like this tragic case in which someone had tried to live off a few spoonfuls of rice and vegetables and ended up bedridden. If that's what you want to call orthorexia, fine.  And if you add in those adverse health criteria, then the prevalence drops to less than one-half of 1%, which seems a little more reasonable. Interestingly, those eating vegan diets had the least pathological scores in the sample, though this may reflect them just being less serious about healthy eating, reaching for the vegan donut rather than the lentil soup.


So, let's contrast a dilated cardiomyopathy with another cardiomyopathy, a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, also known as HOKUM, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, HOCM. So, as you see in this picture over here, our normal heart is on the top, and then our hypertrophic heart is on the bottom. You can see these very, very, very large muscular walls and intraventricular septum here of the left ventricle specifically. We're seeing a marked ventricular concentric hypertrophy, so this is all the way around the heart where the muscle fibers are hypertrophying. So what we have here is a predominately septal hypertrophy as well as systolic anterior motion of those mitral valve leaflets, and that causes an outflow obstruction. That outflow obstruction will then lead to shortness of breath or dyspnea and even possible syncope. A common presentation for HOKUM, or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, is an athlete or a young male that passes out, undergoes a syncable episode while on the sporting field, and that's typically the clinical presentation you'll see often on the USMLE. How else do these patients present? They can have an S4 heart sound that occurs right before the S1 heart sound during systole, and then they also will see a systolic murmur. You do have a potential for a mitral regurge due to that outflow obstruction that we talked about just a minute ago, and in contrast to dilated cardiomyopathy, the sarcomeres and a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy are added in parallel. So if you remember back into your physics, parallel, meaning that they're moving together, so you're going to have multiple sarcomeres on top of each other, that's how we get that hypertrophy, versus series when we're adding them together alongside of each other, like so. A majority of the cases of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy are actually familial. A lot of times these are autosomal dominant gene coded. So the specific gene that is encoding this familial trait is a gene for sarcomere proteins. This leads to a diastolic dysfunction, and oftentimes we see syncope during exercise. Like I mentioned earlier, typically we're going to be talking about an athlete that's on the practice field, or during a game, they're working very, very hard, their heart just can't keep up pumping out the blood that it needs to to supply the body with the essential nutrition and oxygen, and they undergo syncope. That syncopal episode also increases their potential to have a ventricular arrhythmia. This ventricular arrhythmia is what could lead to a sudden cardiac death. So these young athletes that are working an unknown hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, then they can actually undergo syncope, arrhythmia, and potentially death. So that's why we always need to be aware of this and aware of the treatments. So what are the treatments? First and foremost, if we know a patient has a Holcomb case, then we're going to have them no longer participate in high intensity athletics. This can be a problem for patients that are very, very athletic, and they're very talented and being told to no longer be able to participate in these athletic events can be very, very traumatizing. We'll also treat them with beta blockers or a non dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker like verampimil. And one thing that we always need to be aware of with these type of patients is that we can use an ICD, specifically an automated one, if syncope occurs. This is why you see these ICDs all around in public now and in schools and in athletic events and trainers and everything carry these because if a patient does go down and we can get an ICD onto them and find out they are in arrhythmia, we can shock them back into rhythm if it's a shockable rhythm and potentially keep them from dying. So this is a very, very important piece of equipment to be aware of and be able to get to quickly and to know that this is a necessary item.
