Welcome to Hawaii, the state of clean energy. I'm your host today, Mitch Ewan. Our underwriter is the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum, and that's a program under the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, HNEI. I'm very pleased to welcome our guest, Mark Glick, who's the new chair of the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum. And Mark, welcome to the show. I'm Mitch, great to be here. Yeah, great to have you and we're gonna be talking today about the Policy Forum's 2022 legislative day brief, which is gonna be held on January the 28th, and this year, like in about a week and a half or two weeks. And it's gonna be also, we're talking about plugging the energy infrastructure depth, so that's part of what it's all about. Just a little blurb on the forum, if I may, throughout its history, the forum has constantly strived to remain relevant. And at the front edge of Hawaii's energy policy space, and we've adjusted its programs to support Hawaii's evolving energy situation in all its many facets. HNEI has really recently taken over the overall management of the forum and has a new leadership team with new ideas and new initiatives going forward to from 2022 and beyond, including broader membership, more outreach and analytics-based policy development. So we're gonna be talking story with Mark about the forum's first major project, the 2022 legislative brief being held on the 28th of January. But before we get to that, let's have a look at all of the different funds available to Hawaii. So Mark, we have a set of slides from Nazio who are gonna let you talk about those slides and what that information is all about. The bottom line is there's one heck of a lot of money out there at the federal level that could come to Hawaii to help us out. And I don't wanna steal your thunder, so over to you. Yeah, no, thank you. You know, the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Act is really an astounding piece of legislation because it's so comprehensive, but it can be misleading, I think, because essentially it takes a lot of formula funds for standing up the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy. So it basically carries on surface transportation and other activities that normally get funded. In fact, many years ago before gridlock in Congress, these were done in a comprehensive fashion. Recently, they've just been pushed down the road a little bit with continuing resolutions. This bill basically gives them a big boost. So a lot of the funding is through these normal pathways. And we'll talk a little bit about that, but there's some other pathways, the state energy program in particular that's typically administered through the Department of Energy and it goes to state energy offices. I'm gonna talk about in the slide that you see here is actually the national funding coming through, and this is from the National Association of State Energy Officials, NASIO, which we've worked very closely with for a number of years. The state energy program has $500 million that will go through a formula scenario to each of the energy offices. In addition to its typical annual state energy program appropriations, this will require a letter from each governor of the states to basically say these funds will help us carry out a required energy security plan. And there's a lot of discussion about what will be in those letters. And so NASIO in fact has asked that there be a standard letter for all of the states that will cover these issues because it could very well be that this could be a long extended process if each of the 50 states has to come up with their own language and try to figure out what they're gonna say to compel their governors to flow this money in the right direction. So that's $500 million, there'd be $3.5 billion for what's called a weatherization assistance program. In Hawaii, that's typically managed by the Office of Community Services in the Department of Labor. So, I think it will be really kind of fascinating to see whether or not the governor's letter will also sort of ask that to go in that direction or be another place. There's also, I'll skip over LIHEAP, which doesn't apply too much. It has to do with typically heating programs of which the tropical settings like Hawaii don't really have to deal with that much. $150 million into something that hadn't been used very much since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act back in 2009, something called the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. Historically, that was a big funding source. We used it when I was energy administrator for a significant amount of funding. I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $11 million came through the state energy office and the total funding of 550 million, 28% of that will go to the state energy office via formula. I think that's where you get the $150 million figure. And then $100 million for energy efficiency, Revolving Loan Fund Capitalization Grant Program, and that's for commercial residential buildings. And that'll go through a formula to the state energy offices. If you go down a little bit lower into this high priority potential or competitive funding for state energy offices, you'll see $40 million for energy order training grant program. Energy order is extremely important to particularly when you're looking at building retrofits to be able to come up with baseline information so that you can talk about what improvements can be made in those buildings, building energy codes. Now that's really directed towards new buildings, having a little bit more stringent standards so they're more efficient. That'll be a competitive program. The states are eligible and it's not clear, frankly, in that competitive sort of grant, how DOE is going to configure that. I might point out that in all of these programs or these funding opportunities, none of this hasn't been determined in terms of, obviously the formula will flow through states in normal ways that the formulas normally get sent through, but on the other type of funding competitive, these will be competitive solicitations and the Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation and the two primary agencies they'll be flowing these funds through to the states. There's a lot of work to be done over the next number of months. And the way this bill was passed had very little guidance to these agencies on how those programs should be configured.  So that's a laborious process. And I think that's one reason why the Energy Policy Forum is getting so involved in this to help make sure that we don't lose any opportunities. Absolutely. And I understand that the Department of Energy has like 180 days to write the plan and it's been all hands on deck. They've canceled a lot of their normal outreach programs so they can get all the people organized to write this monster plan. So it's a big deal. Yeah, I mean, so far, none of us has seen many details on the implementation. And yeah, clearly the agency is overworked to say the least in coming up with how to procure these multiple uses that grants for charging and fueling infrastructure, grants for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy improvements, wholesale, public school facilities and so on. So there's enormous number of opportunities. We intend to lay those out at the briefing, legislative briefing and have experts in many of these fields talk about what they see as the key priorities or gaps that need to be filled that we might be able to fill with this particular type of funding. Right. So do you think we can go now to the agenda for the legislative brief? Let's pull up those slides, Michael. There you go. Next slide. There you go. So Mark, what I've done is I've laid out the agenda for the legislative brief. And so if you would mind the two of us and I'll go through this and highlight the points who the speakers are and what we hope to get out of it to give people an idea of what we're gonna be talking about and why they should dial in and listen, particularly since there's money in them on our hills. Right. Yeah, and well, we'll kick it off. First and foremost, as you mentioned, why Natural Energy Institute has recently taken over the Hawaii Policy Forum. I think Rick Roscholo, the director of the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, will talk a little bit about it, very briefly touch upon that in his opening remarks and essentially how we're going to be configured to identify the gaps in Hawaii's energy transition to be able to use analysis and white papers to be able to explore what those difficult issues are and then basically have a dialogue among the key stakeholders to try to fill those gaps. He'll talk specifically about some of the pending needs, some of the research that we've done it recently at the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute to deal with some pending issues on renewable generation and gaps in some of the most important resources, not only from a base load generation, but also how are we dealing with the very variable renewable generation with storage and other techniques and how far can we go? What are some of the gaps that we can fill with infrastructure funds? And then we will dive deeply, very quickly into the program and trying to look at and I think two fundamental blocks what these issues are. But first we're gonna have a special guest at this point, it's a mystery guest from either the Department of Energy or from a congressional office which will demystify as much as they'll be able to do in just a week from Monday what is known about the process to get these funds out from the federal government through primarily Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy to Hawaii. And the whole idea is to kind of open the door for us to be able to closely monitor that as it goes along and to be able to alert the appropriate parties about what the opportunities particularly in these competitive funding areas. So again, it doesn't get lost. So that'll be the initial discussion. I think we'll do that in about 15, 14 minutes. And then we'll have the state energy, the chief energy officer from the state energy office for the state of Hawaii, give some opening remarks. Obviously the state energy program funding would be flown through Scott Glenn's office. And so he is engaged in discussions right now with the Department of Energy and other key players like Hawaii Energy about how those funds will be used. So it'll be important for him to provide some opening remarks there. And then we'll go right into what we're calling urgent energy infrastructure needs. And so here we are. So we have some very good speakers and some interesting topics. And these are not history lessons. These are like to identify what are the gaps? Where do we need to put our priorities? So how about introducing the various topics that we're gonna be talking about, Mark? Sure, as we went along in trying to establish what we were going to do at HNEI in managing and coordinating the work of the energy policy forum moving forward, we decided to reach, recontact all of the key stakeholders, the members and basically set up interviews to discuss what their primary issues were. Everyone knows Dean Nishima, who is Nishina, who's the consumer advocate. And Dean had some very important points about the fairness that needs to take place throughout Hawaii's energy investments so that everyone has equal access to clean energy. And we thought it would be really ideal for him to talk about essentially what values need to be placed into these solicitations and what do we need to do to essentially ensure that all parts of our community can benefit fairly from these clean energy opportunities. So I expect to hear that from Dean he talked very eloquently about that when we visited with him, Brian Kahloa. Everyone knows he's been doing a really outstanding job leading Hawaii Energy. We've had really wonderful conversations along with the deputy there, Caroline Carl. And what we've learned is that in terms of there are some, in addition to, of course, all of the fundamental work to work with key energy users and create efficiency opportunities. And we work very closely with them on building retrofits and new innovations there. Brian has really focused a lot of energy on trying to fill the gaps through efficiency gains and what we're gonna deal with as we move closer to the shutdown of the AES coal plant. So that's a key infrastructure issue in terms of the generation picture in Oahu. So we expect him to deal with that and talk about any of the other issues that he's dealing with relative to working with the energy office on this funding. And of course, Colton Cheng, everyone knows his role as a senior vice president over planning and technology at Hawaiian Electric. And of course talking about what they see over their entire system. There are a significant amount of grid modernization opportunities with this funding as well as the generation issues that we're talking about. So I think he'll talk about that across the board. He'll probably also touch upon some important planning efforts that we will likely take on through committees at the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum. One of them has to do with renewable energy zones essentially trying to identify working with the community the appropriate kinds of generation, measures and technologies that are acceptable in communities across the islands. That'll be a big deal as we reach higher rates of renewable penetration. And so I think you'll touch briefly upon that issue as well. So next we launch into resiliency, which is really important particularly when you talk about tsunamis and hurricanes and just like losing the grid itself if it goes down. So how about running through your list here? Start with David. So on these urgent infrastructure issues what we've decided to do is have split the session in two parts. The first part that I've just talked about and then essentially have a session on straight talk on resilience and how do we safeguard our energy infrastructure and dealing with a lot of things that are often put off? And so at the end of that discussion we're gonna bring all the people together to talk about the priorities and what really we need to make sure absolutely gets funded. On the resilience side you really can't have this discussion without having the Hawaii Energy Management Agency at the table. And the person that has been so keely involved in the reform of that agency and making it much more effective is David Lokas, the executive officer. I'm very excited that they're willing to do that. He and Luke Meyer are doing really outstanding job and really streamlining it and making sure that the priorities of the key elements are done and the training is also consistent with that. So I think he'll lay out very effectively his candid appraisal on what needs to be done. We'll have also Kevin Nishimura who's the vice president of operations for Hawaii Gas to talk about sustainable approaches that they're looking at and what investments are necessary to move forward on that. Clearly if you're able to have renewable gas more widely used that will fill some important gaps and that's been a difficult challenge. So, but in investment it could be a deciding factor on making that much more realistic and pervasive and Hawaii Gas would be the appropriate implementation arm to carry that out. Rick Pinkerton, we know particularly when we're talking about and he's the head of asset planning and strategy for one electric but it's something that isn't often talked about widely and that's what are the threats to our energy system and it's also involved cybersecurity. And so this is sort of gonna bring that issue to the fore and Rick is directly involved in dealing with those issues. Obviously the threats are pervasive. It's quite scary, frankly, how often from outside of Hawaii attempts are made to destroy or to sort of dismantle our energy infrastructure through cybersecurity means that again, isn't often widely talked about, but we wanted to make sure, particularly with this level of funding that's supposed to be dealing with resilience and cybersecurity that we don't miss an opportunity to help plug our system and make it safer. And finally, we will have Mark Want. Mark Want is the leader of resilience and energy assurance for the Hawaii State Energy Office. He's been doing that for years. People who have been working in this space know and respect Mark. He's really one of the outstanding public officials in this discipline and it's quite important. His role I think has been quite understated over the years but it's one of the most important things I think that the Energy Office does is to help all the energy stakeholders become better prepared especially for emergencies, natural disasters. He's always leading the teams that collect inventory information and make sure that we don't run out of key resources, energy resources during these times. When they happen, everyone expects it to happen flawlessly. Mark's one of those people that gets that done and I really value his opinions on what needs to be invested in. So it would be great to have him at the table talking about this along and he works very closely with David Lopez in terms of the future of planning on these issues. Yeah, resiliency begs a significant investment. Everybody puts off investing in resilience because it's all what's not here today. But like you say, when the storm hits or the grid goes down, then everybody wants it to work right away and you have to invest in it ahead of time. You can't just hope it's gonna be okay.  I was gonna say, when those discussions are finished, I'm going to, I'll moderate the joint panel and then we'll ask all the participants to participate in a moderated dialogue to identify the highest priorities. And then we'll ask the takeaway question on all of this will be what can the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum do to support the next steps to identify and communicate to all the appropriate energy stakeholders how to address these priorities through the opportunities provided by the bipartisan infrastructure funding. Through the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Yeah, so that the state is really coordinated in how we're gonna invest this money and make sure it's used in the best possible way. Yeah, I mean, you know, unfortunately, there is no coordinated function for this in the state of Hawaii and in most states. So we're kind of lucky that we have this vehicle and we'll take advantage of it. And at least the outreach that I've had so far is that, you know, all of the players that have previously been members of the forum are really appreciate this opportunity to, you know, have the forum kind of reinstated and to make this its first priority focus. Well, the next slide is titled Discussance which is a new word for me. I haven't heard that one before but it looks like we're gonna hear from our leadership in the legislature and also the PUC. So talk about our leadership here, Mark. Yeah, and, you know, Discussance, it's an academic term I'm now at the university. So, you know, I use stuff like that.  They have the ability to basically draw from anything that had been discussed before and to provide their own comments and opinions about it. Clearly, we're gonna be dealing with, this is a briefing for the legislature. So we're gonna have the chairs of the Energy Environment Committees in both the Senate and the House. First, we're gonna have Senator Glenn Wakai, the Senate Chair, Committee, Energy, Economic Development and Tourism to weigh in on what he sees as the priorities. You know, we're hoping that he will take this opportunity to talk about infrastructure needs, but he will talk about, again, what he sees overall and then hopefully we can apply infrastructure funds to help solve what it is that he identifies. Obviously, from an oversight standpoint, the Public Utilities Commission really is the, you know, most important agency in ensuring that we move forward, particularly in the electricity sector. And they're the ones that essentially are the quarterback in the sense of providing guidance in terms of solicitation for generation and obviously in overseeing the investments that utilities make on infrastructure for grid modernization and so on. So it'll be quite important to hear from Commissioner Potter what her sense of those priorities are. And so we wanted to definitely have the view of the commission there. Okay, let's have the fifth slide. So session two, making transportation is one of my favorite subjects, of course, critical infrastructure, EVs, hydrogen and other eco-friendly vehicles. So why don't you introduce Bradip Pant. Yeah, Bradip Pant is the Planning Program Administrator statewide for the Department of Transportation. So as I mentioned, you know, there's two key flow downs, the Federal Transportation Funds and the Reauthorization of the Surface Transportation Act, which goes to the State Transportation Department. So clearly the chief planner there is essential in terms of guiding what the priorities are. So he's gonna be able to talk about that. He'll talk about some of the key programs that are underway that these funds could really fit into, clean bus program and the way that the State Department of Transportation now is looking at life cycle pricing to be able to actually better target investments in a smart way. So I'm very excited about having him on the program. I think we're still waiting for confirmation from Roddy Sito, but when we spoke to him earlier, he was eagerly talking about the efforts that he's leading to look at hydrogen as a, you know, playing a key role in Hawaii Island's transportation program. And Akim Morso is doing a wonderful job in helping lead the electrification process for transportation at HECO and dealing with a very difficult job of trying to upgrade their transmission distribution and infrastructure to be able to handle, you know, these 60 amp chargers at homes. And of course, this whole fast charging network that needs to be implemented quite rapidly to be able to handle this new demand of electric vehicles. So very eager to see, you know, what the HECO strategy is to deal with this. Exactly. And then once again, at the end we'll have a dialogue on the priority gaps and needs. That's right. So we need to move on a little bit because we're out of time basically, but we're gonna take more time. Discussance once again, the perspective of our representative, Nicole Lohan, who's the House of Rep, representatives. Right. Well, Nicole has been an extremely important figure. She's done a great job over the last number of years in making some transformational measures on energy development in the state is not unafraid to speak plainly about what's needed. So it's not even in this key role to kind of wrap up the discussion, I think is very timely. Yeah, she's a real champion of transportation. Like you said, she's not afraid to speak her mind. No, I can't be grasp on the situation. Yeah, right. So in this last slide, I just thought it'd be good to put in a link to our Energy Policy Forum website. And this briefing is open to everybody, the general public, and you can get to it by going to the website and registering. And there's a link on our site where you can register for this event. And we'll capture your name and your contacts and you can dial in, we can take hundreds of people. So we welcome everybody to participate in this briefing and you can make your thoughts known by telling us what you think about it. We'd really love to have the feedback. It is open to everyone. Yeah, go ahead. It is open to everyone. And all you have to do is go to the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum website to get the link for registration, free registration, you'll be in. And it's something I don't really think you want to miss. That's great. So we're going to have to leave it there, Mark, because we're totally out of time. And so you've been watching Hawaii, the state of clean energy on ThinkTek Hawaii, and today we've been talking story with the chair of the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum, Mark Glick, about the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum's 2022 legislative brief, which is only next week. Week from May. So thanks a lot, Mark, and thanks to our viewers for tuning in. And I'm Mitch Ewan. We'll be back in two weeks with another edition of Hawaii, the state of clean energy. Aloha.


They're collectively known as the Brady Six, the six quarterbacks that were chosen ahead of the greatest of all time, but not much is mentioned regarding six different quarterbacks taken before another afterthought. In Austin, Texas, the journey for a lanky, floppy-haired kid began at Westlake High School. He was teammates with Justin Tucker and followed in the footsteps of another Westlake alum, Drew Brees. His ability to throw the deep ball and to find it between two defenders, that's just Nick and Nick's been doing that for a long, long time. Foles succeeded in high school and would go on to break many school records set by Brees. He received numerous offers from Texas and Baylor, but chose to play college football away from home at Michigan State. How come he didn't go to Texas? Just didn't work out, but it was a blessing in disguise for me to tell you the truth. In a crowded quarterback room that contained Brian Hoyer and Kirk Cousins, Foles decided to transfer after just one year at Michigan State. He attempted just eight passes. Why didn't you like it at East Lansing? Too cold for you, wasn't it? No, it was definitely a different environment. I went there in my freshman year and I went through spring, got better as a player, didn't worry about anything else, and after I was like, dad, I just, I don't know, my heart's wavering. I don't know if I can reach my full potential. Nick Foles was a three-year starter at the University of Arizona. During his tenure, he threw for over 10,000 yards and 67 touchdowns. He still holds multiple school records to this day. Andrew, tell me a little bit about the beard. Yeah, it's, I don't know. I've never had one before. I figured, I went home. My mom didn't say anything about it, so I was like, I've never done it before. Why not grow one? I'm in college. I don't have to be presentable, right? That's a rule or something. Nick Foles declared for the 2012 NFL Draft, and so did Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, a rival of Nick Foles in college. Luck's talent and smart football mind made him the best quarterback prospect in a very long time. When we were taught to sort of read the mic, mic push is strong, you're going to work off there, mic push is weak. That's why it was no surprise that all eyes were on Luck at the 2012 Combine. Prototype, NFL ready. Fits the mold. And pedigree too. Luck was seen as a predecessor to Peyton Manning, who had spinal fusion surgery. But while the spotlight was on Andrew Luck, Nick Foles was hardly a topic of interest. What on how did this deal come about? Linda, they had been working on this deal for quite some time, really from the time that the two teams had gotten home from the Combine. So this trade has assured the Washington Redskins that they will come out of the draft next month with one of the two potential franchise quarterbacks that they coveted. The Redskins made it evident that they would select a quarterback in the draft. Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner. Pick it up. Give it a shot. Pick it up. Yeah. There we go. There we go. Yeah. The trade essentially guaranteed the Redskins were getting a franchise quarterback. Welcome inside Radio City Music Hall. On the day of the draft, the first two selections went as expected. The Indianapolis Colts select, Andrew Luck, quarterback, Stanford. The Washington Redskins select, Robert Griffin III, quarterback, Baylor. The next best quarterback was Ryan Tannehill. A former wide receiver at Texas A&M, Tannehill converted to playing quarterback full-time his senior year. One season was all that was needed to impress the Miami Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins select, Ryan Tannehill. Brandon Whedon played minor league baseball for several years. He then enrolled at Oklahoma State and played quarterback. Later in the first round, the Cleveland Browns drafted him at 28 years old, making Whedon the oldest player to ever be drafted in the modern era. The Cleveland Browns select, Brandon Whedon, quarterback, Oklahoma State. The Browns selected him with the now infamous 22nd pick. The Browns have also selected fellow quarterbacks Brady Quinn and Johnny Manziel with the 22nd pick. Later in the second round, the Broncos selected Brock Osweiler. Osweiler played against Nick Foles in college as he attended rival school Arizona State. Osweiler's 6'7 height infatuated John Elway. In the third round, the Eagles were interested in Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson, but the Seahawks had other plans and beat them to it. Seattle Seahawks select, Russell Wilson, quarterback, Wisconsin. Instead, with the 88th pick, the Eagles settled with Plan B, Arizona quarterback Nick Foles. Foles was a back up his rookie season to Michael Vick. He filled in and showed much promise when Vick was hurt. Going into 2013, the Eagles hired Chip Kelly, who implemented a new offensive system. Once Vick was hurt for a second time, Philadelphia never looked back. Foles had one of the best seasons for a quarterback in NFL history. 27 touchdowns to only two interceptions, 119 passer rating, which ranks third all time, MVP candidate. In 2014, Foles led the Eagles to a 6-2 record before suffering a broken clavicle. Following the season, the Eagles made a shocking decision. It was known as the craziest 5 minutes in NFL transaction history. The Eagles traded Nick Foles to the Rams in exchange for Sam Bradford. In 2015, the career of Nick Foles hit a low point. He threw just 7 touchdowns and 11 games. Following the season, the Rams drafted Jared Goff as their franchise quarterback, which led to Foles asking for his release after just one year with the Rams. I don't know what to make of Nick Foles. I think he's a very uneven player. Foles was starting to lose the passion, contemplating retirement. I was going to stop playing the game, because if I don't love this and it's not in my heart, I can't do it. But a heartfelt letter from his wife changed his perspective. My wife wrote me a letter, and in the letter she just talked about wanting me to go back and play, but not to be out there and play, but because she knew I wasn't finished yet, that she knew that I had so much going on in my heart that I had to face my fear, basically, because it was almost paralyzing to go back and play. Foles played the 2016 season in Kansas City under his former head coach Andy Reid. He backed up Alex Smith and appeared in just two games. In 2017, Foles returned to Philadelphia. Under a new head coach, Doug Peterson, the Eagles became contenders. Gambyship 1-3, 1-2-3, Gambyship! Believe it, man, believe it! 2017, national football league season, hand-pocketing one, spins away. I don't know if they have the firepower to compete with the New York Giants. So all we got to do is what we were trained to do, period, and we will execute. Gets up the sideline, ladies, burn it again. Can anybody get him? What a return. He is intercepted. The source confirming to our insider Adam Shepard that the Dolphins are trading running back Jay Ajayi to the Eagles. Looking for the end! Great team effort today, man. Great team effort. Go watch that tonight. Give it all you've got. Leave it on the field, man. As I say, man, play for one and not the man you play for that name on your back. Watch his legs and his body just fold on that hit by Barron. Nobody wants to see this. Carson Wentz is going off to get looked at. The Eagles are very concerned. I'm told that they fear it is a left ACL. You cannot lose the league MVP and still go win the Super Bowl. Just can't. The Eagles went 11-2 before Carson Wentz was ruled out for the rest of the year. Nick Foles took over and was given the task of leading the Eagles into the post-season. Prepare every day, work every day, so I'm ready to go, need beat. You look at the list of backups. He stacks up pretty well compared to other teams' backups. That's something I'm not yet certain about. It's a 78 quarterback rating. It's six and a half yards per attempt. It's very typical NFL backup stuff. Carson Wentz and the Eagles, to me, were going to be the favorites and probably get home field throughout the playoffs. Now I'm not sure if they'll get home field throughout the playoffs. There's lots in here. They can't go home. That's what we're doing with them. Let's go. Mr. Season right here. Ryan in trouble. Ryan flips them into the engine with a prayer incomplete. Nick, great job, man. Way to play. Good luck the rest of the way, okay?  He throws his bat. Patrick Robinson back the other way. Robinson for the touchdown. Pass is caught. Jeffrey Touchdown. You don't know how happy I am for you, bro. I think I love you a lot, man. Good. Nobody's been hurt this way. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Good job, man. Nobody's been hurt this way. Nobody's been hurt this way. Bulls led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl against their favorite Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The two men, who had six quarterbacks drafted ahead of them, would go face to face on the biggest stage. Going for it? Bulls played as if his life depended on it. And that is floating and it makes a first down the goal. The competitive back-and-forth game came down to the most iconic play in franchise history. For the remainder of the game, Foles continued to deliver. For the first time ever, the Philadelphia Eagles were Super Bowl champions. It was once regarded as one of the best quarterback draft classes of all time. The six quarterback drafted ahead of Nick Foles all had their unique journeys. The once-in-a-generation quarterback, Andrew Luck, was productive but retired at the age of 29. With multiple injuries and drama in DC, Robert Griffin III has bounced around from team to team. He currently backs up Lamar Jackson and Baltimore. Ryan Tannehill failed to find success for several years in Miami and just now had a late career resurgence in Tennessee. Brandon Whedon was not the savior of the Cleveland Browns. He's best known as a journeyman backup in the NFL. Brock Oswiler did win Super Bowl 50, but as a backup to Peyton Manning. He didn't live up to expectations. He retired at 28. Russell Wilson might be the only one that has had justifiable success. He's appeared in two Super Bowls winning Super Bowl 48. He's regarded as one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL today. Foles steps up, delivers, it's come! Love just means you care for one another unconditionally. You have no hidden agenda. You really want what's best of a person next to you and with that you can do amazing things. There's gonna be people that doubt you. Don't listen to them. What matters is what's in here and the people that love you, that support you. Go out there every day and be bold. Be a part of the Philadelphia Eagles. Be a part of these guys. It's one of the greatest things I've ever done in my life. Finally did it with Super Bowl champs.


but you're gonna buy your business. I mean, really, if you sell your business, you all of a sudden you lose cash flow, which is one thing. You get money, sure, you lose half, because you get paid in one tax year, so you're gonna lose a lot of it in tax, a lot of it in tax.  Then you've got this money left over, and what are you gonna do?  But I already had a really good business. Taking steps back. It's almost taking steps back. It was almost like an ego play where I was like, I just wanted to say I sold my business, so I could be a real entrepreneur that has exited.


Leverly station's like the biggest station in like Scotland or UK or something like that. Is it? Yeah, apparently. And then I was like, this is my life now and it's amazing and Edinburgh's just the best city in the world. And the food, the food stalls. So good, so good. I knew that I wanted to live in Edinburgh at the moment that I got here. Edinburgh's perfect for me. The architecture is beautiful, the streets are beautiful. And I immediately was just like, I have to live here. This is gorgeous, it just had an immediate connection with the city. Edinburgh has so many things on offer. All right, please tell me more. Music, food, festivals, galleries, cinemas, museums, restaurants. I think coming out of school as an 18 year old, you're going to have a look at the nightlife. Yeah, all the clubs are great. You can have so much fun with a night out in Edinburgh. I feel like it's got good nightlife, but it's also got good, you know, aspects and like coffee shops. If you're the kind of person who studies best in the cafe, so many options to choose from. In terms of summer months, Edinburgh is the best, I think. You know, you have the meadows, Odyssey, having Portobello as well. Whatever kind of recreational activity you enjoy, there's something in this city for you. One thing that really caught me was the Fringe Festival. I did not know the Fringe was a thing. The whole city just transforms into this massive, massive festival. You'll be blown away.


Hi and welcome to our session. Let us discuss the following question. The question says, are using the properties of definite integrals evaluate the pollen? Integral of sine square x from minus pi by 2 to pi by 2. Before solving this question, we should note two properties of definite integrals. First property of definite integrals is integral of fx from 0 to a is equal to integral of f a minus x from 0 to a. And second property of definite integrals is integral of fx from minus a to a is equal to 2 times integral of fx from 0 to a. If f is an even function, it is equal to f of minus x. Integral of fx from minus a to a is equal to 0. If f is an odd function, f of minus x is equal to minus fx. The knowledge of these two properties are the key ideas in this question. Let x is equal to sine square x. We will first take that whether sine square x is an even function or an odd function. If we replace x by minus x, then we get sine minus x whole square. We know that sine minus x is minus sine x. So we have minus sine x whole square and this is equal to sine square x. And sine square x is fx. So f of minus x is equal to fx and this implies fx is an even function. i equals to integral of sine square x from minus pi by 2 to pi by 2 is equal to 2 times integral of sine square x from 0 to pi by 2 into 2. From the key idea, we know that integral of fx from 0 to a is equal to integral of f a minus x from 0 to a. By using this property, we get i as 2 into integral of sine square pi by 2 minus x from 0 to pi by 2. This is equal to 2 times integral of cos square x from 0 to pi by 2. Let's say this equation is equation number 1. And this as 2. And adding 1 and 2, we get equals to 2 into integral of sine square x from 0 to pi by 2 plus 2 times integral of cos square x from 0 to pi by 2. This is equal to 2 times integral of cos square x plus sine square x from 0 to pi by 2. We know that cos square x plus sine square x is equal to 1. So we have 2 into integral of 1 from 0 to pi by 2. Now integral of 1 with respect to x is x. So we have 2x lower limit is 0 and upper limit is pi by 2. Now by using second fundamental theorem of integral calculus, we have 2 into pi by 2 minus 2 into 0. We have first substituted upper limit in place of x and then we have substituted lower limit in place of x. Now this is equal to pi. So 2i is equal to pi and this implies i is equal to pi by 2. Hence our required answer is pi by 2. So this completes the association i and take care.


is TFNN the tiger financial news network update everyone basal champion here on this Wednesday the 7th of December this is the 10 o'clock tiger financial news network market update thousand 84 actually had a really nice spike earlier from the opening and has given that back hit 33,675 now it's 160 points lower it's down 86 so 33,508 33,200 is the next level of key support and then the 32,500 is the 200 period moving average if this continues weaker but there should be some kind of a balance over the next two days at least a little bit of a balance looking at the S&P at this particular point the S&P is down 18,3922 it also tried to rally little concerned about this because the nine-period moving average is just about across under the 14 we'll see if that happens looking at the QQQ that's the index 100 had a very sharp pullback from the doji candle area of 295 it's now 279 IWM also very weak it's down let's see that's down 85 cents at 179 looking at gold now it's going to be very important because gold's trying to rally it's it's hugging the 200-period moving average it's up 12 it's 1794 I think it's in a consolidation phase but it's making higher highs and higher lows and that's important the dollar tried to rally and dollars now down 51 ticks at 105.07 couldn't hold the 200-period moving average at 105.80 we're looking at the bonds that's the TLT bonds are up again so yields are coming down the TLT is running strongly it's at 108.56 that's kind of important because you've got a number of factors going on you needed the yields to come down but so is crude oil crude oil is up 35 cents made in lower low today there's a lot to discuss when I come back for the Tiger Technicians Hour and a week from tomorrow I'll be doing a webinar a full webinar and during the day a trading webinar that should be very important for me because the first time I've actually done it as a trading webinar I've done many many all-day webinars this one is a trading webinar I'll be back in a moment for the Tiger Technicians Hour and check out the opening calls at the newsletters see you in a moment


Why is South Africa very rich and proud? South Africa has a diverse ecosystem due to its location on the African continent's southernmost tip. Kruger National Park, an inland safari destination, is teeming with big game. The Western Cape has beaches, rich windlands around Stellenbosch and Parle, rugged cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope, forest and lagoons along the garden route, and the metropolis of Cape Town, which sits beneath flat-topped Table Mountain. South Africa is rich in a variety of minerals. In addition to diamonds and gold, the country's deposits include iron ore, platinum, manganese, chromium, copper, uranium, silver, beryllium, and titanium. Although no economically exploitable petroleum deposits have been discovered, there is some natural gas off the southern coast, and synthetic fuel is produced from coal at two massive plants in the Free State and Pumilanga provinces. Although manufacturing has employed more people and produced a greater proportion of gross domestic product, GDP for decades, the mining sector remains the heart of the South African economy as mining-focused holding companies invest in other economic activity. In today's video, we'll take you on a tour of South Africa to discover why the country is so wealthy in comparison to other African countries. The riches will be evaluated based on the economy, the manufacturing industry, and a variety of other factors. If this is your first time joining us, please subscribe to this channel for more updates. The Economy of South Africa South Africa's economy is the continent's second largest, as well as the continent's most industrialized, technologically advanced, and diverse economy. South Africa is one of just eight countries in Africa with an upper-middle-income economy. Following the lifting of international sanctions in 1996, South Africa's gross domestic product, nominal, nearly tripled, reaching a high of $416 billion in 2011. Within two decades of the end of apartheid foreign exchange reserves expanded from $3 billion to approximately $50 billion, resulting in a diversified economy with a growing and sizable middle class. Although the natural resource extraction industry remains one of the country's largest, contributing $13.5 billion to GDP annually, South Africa's economy has diversified since the end of apartheid with a focus on services. In 2019, the financial sector contributed $41.4 billion to South Africa's GDP. In 2021, South African financial institutions will manage approximately $1.41 trillion in assets. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange's total market capitalization was $1.2 trillion as of October 2021. South Africa's state-owned enterprises, SOEs, are critical to the country's economy, with the government owning a stake in roughly 700 SOEs across a wide range of industries. In 2016, the top five barriers to doing business in the country were inefficient government bureaucracy, tight labor restrictions, a shortage of skilled personnel for several high-tech businesses, political instability and corruption. The banking industry, on the other hand, was regarded as a significant positive economic feature. The country is a member of the G20 and the only African country in the organization. Contributions from the mining sector. South Africa is the world's leading producer of platinum and chromium, which are mined in northeastern cities such as Rustenburg and Steelport, and are growing in commercial importance. Massive amounts of platinum group and chromium minerals can be found to the north of Pretoria. The northern Cape province contains the majority of the world's iron ore and manganese resources, and titanium-bearing sands can be found along the east coast. The country also produces uranium, palladium, nickel, copper, antimony, vanadium, floorspar, and limestone. Diamond mining, which was previously concentrated around Kimberley, is now widespread. De Beers' consolidated mines limit it owns a significant portion of the South African diamond industry, which is one of the largest in the world. Contributions from the manufacturing industry. The most important manufacturing sectors are food processing, textiles, metals, and chemical manufacturing. Agriculture and fisheries support a significant amount of activity in canning, sugar refining, and other processing, with more than half of these products exported. From humble beginnings in the production of mining explosives, a massive and complex chemical industry has grown. A coal-based petrochemical sector produces plastics, resins, and industrial chemicals. The metal industry in Gautang gets a lot of its raw materials from the region's iron and steel producers. Aluminum manufacturers and Quasulunatal primarily use imported materials. Automobiles, ships, building materials, electronics, and a wide range of other items, including armaments, are all produced. Though the weapons industry has begun to diversify into non-military production, the post-apartheid government supported a contentious arms export sector when military sanctions were lifted. Manufacturing has always relied heavily on foreign capital. It expanded rapidly in the 1960s and early 1970s, but slowed or even shrank in the 1980s. As mining declines, manufacturing and its demand for foreign capital become even more important for national growth, exports account for roughly one-fourth of total manufacturing output. Financial Growth The South African Reserve Bank, which is the sole issuer of the RAND, the country's currency, has a sophisticated financial system. It is in charge of developing and implementing monetary policy, as well as managing foreign exchange transactions. Merchant, savings, investment, and discount banks, as well as commercial banking, are all registered banking institutions. For example, the Development Bank of Southern Africa is a quasi-governmental organization that promotes development projects. Private pension and provident funds, as well as more than two dozen insurance companies, dominate the financial sector. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange serves as the hub of a thriving capital market. Contributions of trade Because of its reliance on foreign trade, South Africa's economy is vulnerable to global economic conditions. Most important exports have been precious and base metals, though agricultural products and military equipment have also played a significant role. The country's main imports are chemicals, chemical products, and automobiles. South Africa's main trading partners are China, the United States, Germany, and Japan. Regional trade in southern Africa is becoming increasingly important, particularly through the southern African development community. Following the end of apartheid, South African corporations push to expand their involvement in other African countries, particularly in mining and commercial activity. Contributions of tourism Tourism is becoming increasingly important to the South African economy, while African countries receive the majority of visitors, Europe, and the Americas are growing in popularity. Among the various tourist attractions are national and transnational parks. Traveling from South Africa to other African countries is becoming more convenient. Among the most popular tourist attractions are Table Mountain, Robin Island, designated an ESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The site of an infamous prison and historic sites such as the former diamond mine in Kimberley. The Verita Fort Dome designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. The world's oldest and largest meteorite impact site. And the mapping of the resettlement area designated UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The ruins of the important kingdom of the Iron Age. Ecotourism and village tourism, in which visitors can learn about traditional rural culture, are becoming more popular. South Africa has emerged from the contributions of various sectors to dethrone several other African countries and become one of the richest African countries. It is safe to say that investment in a country's various sectors has a significant impact on the country's wealth and development. South Africa is what it is today as a result of its government's significant development efforts. Despite being a wealthy country, efforts are still being made to ensure that it achieves the status of a more economically developed country, MEDC, like the United States, Germany, and many others.
