This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Okay, welcome back to Think Tech. This is Meena Marco and me on Monday. That's M, M, M, M. And today we're going to study M, M and L, which is Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, with the president of Maui Electric Company, which is the company that is the utility for those three islands, Sharon Suzuki, the president. Welcome to our show, Sharon. Thank you for having me. Great to have you here. And at remote, we have Marco Mangelsdorf, who joins us by Skype from Los Angeles, or wherever it is in California. Where are you, Marco? Actually in Palo Alto, and thank you so much, Jay, and I just want to say it's not often that we get the wonderful opportunity to speak to one of the presidents of our state's electric utility. So I'm just very pleased that we're able to join us today, Sharon, so thanks so much for being on. Yeah, thanks for the invitation. Okay, let's talk about what it is to be president.  Can you talk about your career, and can you talk about what it's like to be president of Maui Electric? Sure. So I've been with the Hawaiian Electric family of companies for 25 years now. I started out in initiating the energy efficiency rebate programs, where we were promoting solar water heating, efficient lighting, AC, air conditioning, motors for businesses and residents. So it was quite exciting. I mean, it was fun to be able to walk into a customer's office and offer them a rebate for a change, instead of just sending them a bill. Spreading happiness. Yes, it was fun. Then I moved to customer service at Hawaiian Electric, and had the opportunity to move over as customer service manager of Maui Electric, then the Renewable Energy Services Department, and most recently as president. So five years ago. What is it like? It's actually quite exciting. Energy is at the forefront of many discussions these days, and we as a company have been working hard to provide customers better service, engaging with the community on all our programs and projects, and I guess it's been fun. We have a lot of talented employees at Maui Electric, Hawaiian Electric, and our sister company on Hawaii Island, Hawaii Electric Light. So by combining our talents, I think we really are up to the challenges of getting 200% renewable energy for Hawaii. Yeah. Well, that's been a mainstream issue for the past five years anyway. You've seen a lot of growth and development and renewables in that period. So how has Maui Electric changed? How have you changed as an executive in the past five years? How have we changed? Well, we've gone from in 2008 being 14% of our sales from renewable energy resources like solar, wind, biomass, and hydro to over 35% as of the end of 2016 with the same types of resources. So we've been able to change how we operate our existing generating units to lower the levels that they run at, to be able to incorporate and integrate more wind and solar energy when they're available. I was mentioning that a few weeks ago we took a trip with Chris Reynolds of Maui Electric. Works for you. And it fell named Todd Kanja. He's with the Wine Electric here in Oahu. And Fred Riddell, who was the energy commissioner of Maui, who's very interesting. We went to look at your facilities in Maui and Molokai. We didn't go to Lenai. Too bad. Next time. And we saw some really remarkable things. But the one thing that sticks in my head in the context of this conversation is Ulu Palakua. First of all, it's so beautiful there. First of all, it's a serious, you know, commitment to wind. And Maui has plenty of wind. Can you talk about wind in Maui, Maui County? So wind in Maui County is mainly on Maui. We have 72 megawatts of capacity available. And the peak on our system on Maui is about 200 megawatts. So it's a huge percentage of the generation. But as you know, wind is not always available. So that's where our generation is able to manage up and down. When the wind drops off, our generators pick up the load to meet the demand for electricity so that customers get the power that they need when they need it. Yeah. But Maui has been ahead. I mean, Maui Island has been ahead on wind from a long time ago, from first wind back when, and now Ulu Palakua and other facilities, no? So we had 2006 was when we interconnected the first wind farm. Then we had Ulu Palakua, the Aawahi Wind Farm, another 21 megawatts. And phase two of Kahiawa was 21 megawatts. So over the course of the last few years, yes, we've been integrating a lot of wind energy. And we found in talking to the engineers at Ulu Palakua that there was still a certain amount of curtailment. They didn't seem troubled by it because it wasn't that much and it wasn't for that long. But can you talk about curtailment as it exists for wind on Maui? So we've made changes, as I mentioned earlier, to lower the units at Kahului as well as, in fact, just last year. We made modifications to our units at Maalaya so that we could take on more wind. And as of last year, we took 95% of the wind that was available. So that's quite a bit. Yeah, that's great. That's an improvement. That's a win-win-win kind of thing. So Marco, you had some questions you wanted to ask, too. Let me try to include you in this discussion. Well, thank you, Jay. I appreciate that. So Karen said that she's been involved with Hawaiian Electric in some form or fashion for 25 years. I can't quite name nearly quite that long, although it's been going on 18 years now that I've either been a part of HCI or a dependent of HCI, but I've still attained very friendly court relations with many people around the companies. I've seen people come and go like Mike May and Dick Rosenblum, the president of HIKO, during my tenure in Hawaii. And then now we have Alan Oshima on the big island. My friends, Warren Lee and Jake Nassio, is going on 10 years there at Reinhardt who preceded you on Maui here. So my question is, other than obviously you're a different gender than the people I just mentioned, what do you think differentiates you from the people I just mentioned in terms of leading a utility company in the state of Hawaii? I guess my background is finance and business, and I also worked in the customer service arena, both with the energy efficiency programs as well as with our operations in terms of meter reading, billing, and call centers. So I have the customer perspective that I bring to the table, and I think that's been a lot of our focus in terms of trying to transform our business. We still, of course, need all the technical knowledge to help us determine how we can better integrate more and more renewable energy on our very small island grids. But of course we need to make sure that it meets the needs of our customers and everyone has the support of the community, so I'd say that that's what I bring to the table from a background that's maybe not as technical as some of my co-workers or former co-workers. I think that's a great response, and the follow-up would be, since you've arrived or walked up to the big chair and sitting in the big chair as president of NICO, what has surprised you the most? And now that you've been president, what's surprised you the most? And what have you found to be amongst your most difficult challenges? Surprised me the most. I'll just say that I've been very impressed with the diversity of our workforce internally, like being exposed more to what the engineers and the operating folks do both in the office and on the front line, and because that was not where I had my experience with the utility, I think it's most impressed me. And it's more just because I didn't have as much exposure, but I see how important it is for all of us to work together. We all have a different role to play, and it all needs, I mean everybody's input is important. Kind of complementary to that is the diversity of our communities. You know, Maui is a little different from Moloka'i, is different from Lina'i, and very different from Oahu, and I'm born and raised on Oahu, so when I relocated to Maui, I thought, okay, I'm a local girl. It should not be too difficult, but of course quickly I learned that the cultures, they're really different cultures on the different islands, and they're each very special, and I think, how did I adapt? I tried to listen and adjust and rely on a lot of the local folks who are born and raised on Maui to provide me guidance to help give us direction in the right way so we could make progress. Yeah, you know what, and to follow up on that a little bit, you have three distinct islands in your county and your company there, and they all have subcultures that are a little different. I would say that Moloka'i has got to be different than Maui Island, and Lina'i is different than either Moloka'i or Maui Island, and so you and I were talking before the show about Guan Chi, you know, just like for a real estate lawyer, it's not about land, it's about relationships, and you alluded to that a minute ago. And the same thing in utility, I mean, you have got to deal with the public, and sometimes the public wants to be heard, they have views, it's, you know, you are their utility company and they want to be heard. So how have you dealt with that? Because you know, you've had resistance to development in Moloka'i, and you certainly have had the whole wind farm affair, I guess that was before you were tenure as president, but certainly Maui Electric has had an experience, if you will, with the people in Lina'i about the wind farm at the Garden of the Gods, there in west and on the cable and all that. And so what are the special concerns and considerations, what are the special relationships you've got to fashion to keep this all working? OK, so since I took over as president, we formed a position for a director and a staff person for government and community relations, because it's so important, so it goes beyond just customer service, but it's developing relationships in the community so that we are able to listen to their concerns, their preferences. And we're using Moloka'i as an example, and instead of just coming up with a plan and presenting it to them, we've last year held 13 roundtable sessions, plus a large community meeting to have a dialogue about energy and educate them about different resources like solar, wind and different storage, like battery and pump storage, and ask them what their preferences are for their island. So having that dialogue and then consolidating and getting their information and sharing back with them what we heard from their friends and neighbors, I think has proved to help develop a better relationship. They see us more trustworthy and that we're being transparent. We also did that on Lanai after the major outage in January, and when we went to them, we said, how can we improve what happened? And they said, it would help if we had better information. So we developed a communication plan working with the Maui Police Department in the event that something like that happened again, and what we're doing to build a little resiliency in an affordable way and making sure that our communication channels are clear. And we went back to the community in December, and they were very appreciative of our follow through. And one of the residents came up to me after the meeting and said, thank you for coming to our island. Thank you for being transparent with us. Yeah, very important and very required. You've got to do that. But then there's a distinct benefit about it on Maui as there is in other places in the state. I know that Marco has some questions for you about the changing circumstances. All this on a bed of changing circumstances in terms of the technology, the end of the gas and the changes in storage, the changes in solar. And right after, right, Marco, you'll have to agree with me on this. Right after this break, we're going to take a short break, I would invite Marco to ask you about that. OK? OK. All right, Marco? OK. All right. We'll be right back after this short break. You'll see. Aloha. I'm Kili Ikeena, and I'm here every other week on Mondays at 2 o'clock PM on Think Tech Hawaii's Hawaii Together. In Hawaii Together, we talk with some of the most fascinating people in the islands about working together, working together for a better economy, government, and society. So I invite you into our conversation every other Monday at 2 PM on Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network. Join us for Hawaii Together. I'm Kili Ikeena. Aloha. I'm going to the game, and it's going to be great. OK. We're back. We're live, and we have Sharon Suzuki, she's the president of Maui Electric Company, which takes in Maui and Molokai and Lanai. And we have Marco Mangelsdorf, who joins us by Skype Audio from Palo Alto. So Marco, you had some questions you wanted to follow up on about Lanai. Go for it. Actually, Molokai, Jay, and I expressed to the past Molokai had a very near and dear place for my heart, coming back to my youth when my father took me fishing there 50-some-odd years ago. And I wanted to ask you, Sharon, can you provide us any update on how things stand between Niko and this company Half Moon Venture, which has made very public and is wishing to develop a substantial PV farm or PV facility with battery storage on Molokai, which if there were to go through it would be a very dramatic event in terms of Molokai achieving highest levels of percentages in terms of renewable energy feeding into the grid compared to anywhere else. Could you give us a possible update on kind of where things stand with that project? Yes, we're still in discussions with Half Moon Ventures, who has proposed a PV farm and battery combination, and they had gone to the community in the latter part of 2017 last year to present their project. So we're still in discussions with them. Yeah, we went on a trip that I mentioned that we took. We went to talk to people on Molokai, and one of the people we talked to was Amelia Nordhoek, who is one of the co-executives, if you will, of sustainable Molokai. They are taking an affirmative position about how that deal should be shaped.  One the movie to Maui Proper and another movie to Molokai. And next time we want to come over and do Lenai, check up on that. Anyway, so what do you see as the future of that deal? I mean, this is a complicated deal because the sustainable Molokai crowd has weighed in, they have expectations, and it's something I think that Molokai has waited a long time for this deal. What do you think is going to happen? Well, we always look at proposals from developers from how is it going to impact the customers, because we know that customers are very concerned about the level of their bills. But these purchase power agreements generally do as though it helps stabilize the pricing. As you know, right now our bills are tied to the fluctuations in fuel prices. So, of course, that volatility is not something that our customers like. So to the extent that we can reach an agreement where the pricing will demonstrate based on our outlook for the future over a 20-year horizon that it is going to benefit our customers, you know, we may be able to come to some kind of agreement. But we're always looking out for the best interests of our customers while making sure that how it integrates into the grid will help us maintain a reliable service to all customers. Yeah, and this deal is a little different because it's not just solar, it's solar and battery. It's that new model, the model they've been using in the KIUC about linking the solar facility with the battery facility. Yes, so of course it provides a great opportunity, which is why we're looking at it seriously and in discussions with them. Yeah, okay, we want to follow up with you on that one. Sure thing. So, let's talk more about the technology and the changes that are happening. For example, the closing of HC&S and how that affects things. Marco, why don't you frame some questions? Sure, I just wanted to, well speaking of HC&S, what kind of tangible impact has that had on me? Because that of course was a long time source of power with the cane byproduct after harvesting. That's been better for Maui repairs as far as has it had any impact on their bills from month to month? Has it had any impact on being able to accept more or less renewables from wind or has it not had much of an impact? Well, HC&S did provide a source of reliable renewable energy, and it was firm generation that was scheduled into our grid. So, to the extent that they're not there, we need to make up some of that capacity. And so what we're running on now is maybe sometimes when our unit's on overhaul, we have a kind of tighter reserve margin, but fortunately, we've been able to provide service as reliably as we had in the past. And we're looking for other sources to provide us capacity value. And one option is to get customers more involved with us through what's called a demand response program. So if the water department, for example, is willing to not pump during a period of our peak and we lost maybe two generators, one was already out on maintenance and unexpectedly we lose a second, by them reducing their demand for electricity, we can still serve that evening peak on the island and they would in turn get an incentive for being available for us. So that's a program that was approved last year by the Public Utilities Commission to help us meet some of the capacity or reserve capacity that HCNS once provided. So we continue to look at those types of resources. Also looking at battery energy storage as an option, but as you know, battery prices have been relatively expensive. So finding the right time and the right size for the grid is critical. Yeah. What effect does this new tariff on solar panels have on things? And let me transmute that into what's really my question. And that is if I'm an energy developer, a renewable developer, and I come to you and say Sharon, I'd like to do something on Maui, in Maui County. What would be the best thing to meet your expectations? Should I get into battery and solar? Should I get into wind? What should I do? Okay. So we have a new process that should be coming out soon and it's to bid into potentially two requests for proposals. One is for additional renewable energy in general. So we'll leave it up to the developer to propose either solar alone or solar with battery. And a second is to replace the capacity after we retire our Kahuluik power plant. So we still need capacity to meet the needs of the island. And there will be what's called a firm request for proposal. And it's to have firm capacity on the island or firm generation. So there are two opportunities for developers out there to soon be able to bid into or bid their projects into our solicitation process. So is this calculated to move faster? Is it calculated to reach that 100% goal in a more expeditious way now? Yes, what we're trying to do, especially on the renewable RFP where it could be just solar or solar and battery, is to try to allow developers to take advantage of the tax credits that are available, which would of course bring down the pricing and result in lower cost to all of our customers. Yeah. Marco, your turn. What have you got? Yeah, there's kind of a fuse is burning now as of now in terms of the federal investment tax credit is 30% has been 30% since I believe 2005 for renewable energy project projects. And we have 30% this year. We have 30% next year in 2019 and then starting in 2020 it begins a ramp down. So there's a bit of a sense of greater urgency now compared to six months or a year ago or especially these larger projects which can have quite the long timeline from start to finish. So when it comes to bringing online utilities scale, renewable energy capacity, these decisions, these contracts will need to be agreed on fairly soon in the months to come. But we don't want to require regulatory approval. So I just wanted to say that we're starting kind of a countdown now with the sense of urgency at this point for these projects, these renewable energy projects, especially the near scale to actually make progress towards completed deals to get the ground and operate. Okay, Sharon, that sound was not perfect. Some kind of sound issue. But did you get enough to respond? Yeah, I think we certainly sense that same urgency and I think the Commission does too, which is why they move those approvals forward quickly. And we're actively meeting with the independent observers. In fact, they're meeting this week with our renewable acquisitions group who helps support us on these matters. So we sense the same urgency, Marco, because we're in it together. We need to partner. We can't do it alone. And by reaching this common goal of getting to 100% renewable energy, I think we want to do it in a way that benefits all of our customers. Developers taking advantage of tax credits is part of the puzzle. Yeah, in regard to you, Sharon, that you live in one of the most interesting, as far as utility companies in Hawaii are concerned, you live in one of the most interesting times imaginable. So many things happening, so many possibilities out there. So much expectation, so much promise. How do you feel about that? I think it's exciting. I think that's why it's changed. Although I've been with the company for a long time, I started with a program that was new to the utility and it's constantly changed. So it's kept me very interested. And we have a lot, like I said earlier, we have a lot of great talent across our three companies and combined, I'm sure, working with our customers, our communities and our partners, we can get there. Yeah. One other thing that comes out of that is that, so the three companies within Hawaiian Electric were more distinctly three until recently when Helen Oshima had an initiative to make them more like one. Can you describe what happened and how that affects Maui Electric? Okay, so what he did was he asked these operational senior executives to lead the processes like energy delivery in our poles and wires, as well as our generation as examples, across the three companies, also in our customer service area, so that we could bring alignment in terms of policies, processes and practices. So if a developer is doing business on one island or one company, they're all the same. Very good. They may be doing business on in two service territories and it shouldn't be different, right? Except maybe for the size, because of the size of our islands, right? So and we can gain more efficiencies, which we've seen in some of, especially in our customer service area, where for example, calls can come in, they can be fielded by any one of the customer service reps on any of the three main islands, Maui, Oahu and Hawaii Island. And the customer can probably get better service because you're not waiting in line only for say the Maui representative if you're calling for Maui. So we've gained some efficiencies and cost savings by we call it virtualizing the call center. So it's with technology that we can find these efficiencies, right? That's great. And it's everything to win that way. Efficiency is the name of the game. And you're going places. I really appreciate you coming down. Marco, thank you for setting this up and thank you for your questions. And I hope to see you again soon, Sharon. Okay. Thank you very much for the time. Yeah, welcome. Please come back to Maui. Okay. Aloha. Aloha. Thank you, Sharon. Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Marco.

Shefter just tweeted it 55 seconds ago. I just happened to see when I was tweeting this out Wow, Pete Carroll is expected to be out of Seahawks head coach for sources He still could remain in the organization, but not as the head coach. Wow, that's no one expected that one. I Don't think I mean Carol's up there in age. I maybe he wants to maybe it's mutual I don't know. Maybe they're like hey like we don't want you on the side I don't know that's interesting. Yeah, that is really weird. I Don't think it's super weird. It's just unexpected. I wasn't talking right. I can make sense in my brain, but just like wow When did he become Seahawks coach? early 2010s right probably It's been at least ten years. He's one of the longest ten you think he's second longest Third after Tom on I think Bella check Tom. I think the third longest tenured would be him Reads been in the league longer, but he's chiefs coach more recently, so right Crazy, dude. That's nuts Mike piazza auto five of five Mets Mets doing well. Oh piazza. No piazza for us.

I'm Emma McIntosh, I'm a conservation scientist and the Coordination of Great British Oceans Coalition, which is a group of six UK NGOs that focus on marine protection in the British overseas territories. So the UK has the resources to conduct all sorts of activities that might be difficult for smaller communities or smaller governments to manage independently. So for example, when it comes to managing large areas of the overall marine estate, the UK is responsible for the surveillance technology and monitoring enforcement that is possible to aggregate at scale. The UK can then help with that expertise and financial resources to countries like, of territories like Ascension Island in the South Atlantic who cannot manage that independently on their own. So for example, at the moment as the Ascension Island government is considering whether to protect 50% or even up to 100% of the marine protected area into the future from long-lining fishing activities, they are actively asking the Foreign Office in the UK to help them with the costs of surveillance in those waters.


So while we're waiting Two notes here. So number one you guys have three notes You have the Wi-Fi here if you don't already just connect to the Wi-Fi point number two is we do have the hashtag web RTC BCN if you have comments if you have feedback if you have anything, please Hashtag it Twitter and we're checking it. So please let the world know what we're talking about here, please and There's one other point. Oh Just to as you guys already know we're we're grouping these guys together But by no means does this mean they're talking about the same topic We're we're trying to add difference perspective to everything here. So Different perspective is good and different topics are good. So please You know keep the questions coming keep the different perspective coming All right and With that, I don't think John you're first. So with that, let's turn it over to Oscar. Thank you okay So, thank you everyone for being here My name is Oscar Devorah, and I am MediCloud engineering lead in talk books and Today I wanted to talk about a little bit We're part to see so I just put this title we're part to see anytime anywhere any app from small to big multi-party audiences because basically I wanted to have a little review on What is necessary for actually getting we're part to see out there in the in the street and having it having it working and Once you do that The use cases that keep coming and that appear which probably are something that was not possible be really before in an open manner also come with a number of Requirements on architecture on how you have to stream media etc. So basically I wanted to make a review of Different use cases and then see how does it map into different requirements on architecture for streaming media and See basically what you think out. So first of all and before starting Just for me to gather. I already asked this Last time I would like to know how many of you actually are programming or are developing applications or use cases in for web Practicing and from those that didn't raise the hand How many of you are familiar with the technology? So you already had some introduction before Okay, thank you. So basically At least a good chunk of you will know that what we're part to see is not actually and basically What it actually provides we but what this is a set of enablers is a technology that actually brings the possibility to business to enable blending of video communications in a seamless manner and in a very flexible way with a number of use cases that It's certainly not constrained and it's open to any anything that a product manager can think of or come out for a for a business case, right? so We already had before some glance of what webRTC APIs Offer and we know that basically what we have is basically a set of API's that are embedded into the browser and that Have the capacity to give the capacity to the browser to actually be able to stream media and communicate in a pure manner if you like with other engines in the network a browser or Whatever you can invent however what the what what comes with the browser is basically the API the Set of protocols that actually the specification of protocols by the ATF EETF that allow the browser to talk with something else and then if you like Another part of this puzzle of webRTC is the open source that actually Google Made available so that it's available to anyone so that anyone can see and look how this is made how this can work and even Use it for integration, right? So With this this thing with these three things basically We could do some very basic applications, but if we actually want to build some large scale product that actually uses video communications that is Many reasons basically what they need is to actually deploy a sort of ecosystem of applications that Implement a given use case that depending on the on the platform They may have slightly different use case than in the other platform But all together is an experience and it gives access to a given business model or to a given application, right? so basically the The business will want to actually implement something here that is their application that can be anything can be banking can be eHealth can be sports can be Support tutoring anything we'll see some examples afterwards, but basically what WebRTC gives out of the box from from the browser. Let's say would allow you to implement some very basic Form of it based on on the website And still depending on whether you are using one browser or another browser you would have differences in how they behave or in how they Operate a little bit because maybe we are still in in this period that things are not complete completely So so that you you would also need to take care of that so if you really wanted to actually be able to deploy an experience across many platforms and Beyond just the peer-to-peer between two browsers. For example, you actually at least you would need to have plugins To be able to work with internet explorer and safari maybe you would need to have some decent SDKs so that you can cover mobile Implementation and that it is interoperable with the website with


Good afternoon Thanks for being here. I thought I'd take a few minutes to go over the highlights from the National Governors Association meeting I attended last week in Washington before taking your questions First the NGA always Offers an opportunity for Governors of both parties to come together and discuss shared priorities Members of Congress might want to take a look at how Governors are able to put that partisanship aside and focus on areas We agree because I believe there's more common ground than some would think We had a good meeting at the White House with the president vice president members of the cabinet Where we discuss infrastructure the implementation of IIJ a and the IRA We also got to know the president's team a bit better We also talked about some of the layers of federal permitting that can create problems and working on these projects The permitting process is much more onerous here than in other Western countries Which often makes projects more expensive and slower to get done Governors of both parties emphasize to the president the need to streamline some of these processes So states can take full advantage of these resources faster and more cost effectively Later I attended a meeting of President Biden's Council of Governors, which I was appointed to last year We met with senior officials from the Department of Defense to talk about National Guard issues cyber security and more I Also raised the need for us to focus on shoring up domestic supply chains During the pandemic it came became very very clear to me That we as a country are far too dependent on four nations for supplies And it's important for national security that would make sure we're capable of producing critical supplies right here at home I Also sat down with new England governors where we focus on power sources in the Northeast and the price of energy and How we can continue to work together Now this may be a bit of a blast of the past from the past for some of you But we had a lengthy discussion about TDI the fully permit permitted 1,000 megawatt transmission line that would come through Vermont and then connect Southern New England to clean energy from Quebec As you might remember we heavily promoted this in my first term and would have used the revenue for for Lake Champlain cleanup But unfortunately Massachusetts decided to go in a different direction. So the line was never built But now with significant problems with other routes considered in New Hampshire and Maine The new England governors are very interested in the opportunity TDI Provides to us and it now has legs again, which would be good news for Vermont in the entire region Lastly I was appointed by the NGA chair Governor Murphy of New Jersey to co-chair a task force with Governor Lamont on Public health and disaster response We co-hosted a panel with federal regulators and cybersecurity experts about protecting our grid from foreign threats As well as making sure the grid is prepared to handle a carbon-free world as we further our reliance on electricity Last week a report was issued on the number of attacks on our electric grid here in the US and we learned we had a 169 incidents in 2022 alone, which was the most in a decade in 2021 it was 96 and 88 in 2020 So as you can see the numbers are growing And as eye-opening as this data might be it doesn't include the climate-related weather events We've had which are also increasing in severity and frequency Because of the devastation these incidents can have on life property and our economies It's imperative or prepared to respond to any large-scale disruptions And as we continue to electrify it's so important we get this right Because dependence on electricity will only grow So I look forward to working with Governor Lamont and others on how we can work together as a region to prepare for the future of energy So with that, I'll open up the question We did We had the other governors had forward a letter to the federal government In terms of a grant for this in specifically To help defer some of the costs as they move forward. So it really is about seeing if we're going to receive that grant But then I think it's important for the new governors to go back to their folks and see if If we can get to the table with TDI and in their counterparts in Southern New England again I have a chance yet to review Senate Bill 4 It's a pretty wide-spanning gun piece of legislation that I believe is going to be hitting the Senate for Early next week probably Yeah, I I wasn't aware that it got out of Committee at this point. Oh, okay. I I haven't reviewed it at this point part of this week long as we're looking at suicide prevention as one of the Policy arenas and part of that comes with Conversation around waiting periods. I know we looked into this a few years ago. You didn't support it at the time How how was that that issue weighing on you now? It's still I I feel as though we should be looking at the root causes of suicide I'm not sure that the gun waiting period From my perspective is the right approach But but I know we're all focused on this. I I also know the governor Murphy the nga chair this year has made Children in suicide and mental health issues in particular One of his initiatives, so we talked quite a bit about that at one of the events I was at And so we're going to be working on that throughout the year. I know the The legislature has some thoughts. We have a lot of initiatives in In our proposal our budget proposal to to take Some steps forward in that area as well. So I also think I think it should be highlighted the 988 provision that was put in Place a few months ago. I think we're seeing positive effects from that and And I think that we can again take other steps towards getting to a point where we're seeing A downward trajectory You know Yeah, again, I haven't looked at it specifically But but we've had our challenges obviously as a state with that one particular facility And and finally through some of the Environmental provisions zoning regs and so forth. It looks like we've got that hopefully closed But but I'll take a look at that. I'm not closed minded to that I just don't know the particulars and and what Far-reaching effects it would have I don't know if there are any other facilities in vermont to be honest with you and whether any, you know, whether it would Encompass any other training type facilities or not if it's specific to A certain segment. I I just don't know What information Can you give us about This one incident since you moved this last week. Yeah, we're still gathering information on that It it appears that You know it was driven outside of our borders national borders But but we're trying to get all the information we can at this point We're we're still planning to have a debrief on that to see what we can do To better protect ourselves. We also Reached out to our congressional delegation This might be and I talked to other governors about this as well But this might be something that Then we might have to contemplate on a national scale because I don't know where it can lead us, you know, if it's if it's outside our borders I'm not weak. We don't have the ability to to prevent that in some respects So we might need some help on the federal level to do that, but I might ask Commissioner Morrison if she has any further information on that Additional information as you mentioned we are continuing to work with our partners to coordinate all the available information from the 21 communities in vermont And generally speaking we're looking to work with them to have one central repository for that information and as you mentioned there is every indication that this is an international origin, so It would likely be investigated primarily at the federal level, but we just haven't Got into that place yet to make that common determination. So More to come and as the government mentioned we're reading internally to debrief More community level is how our response went and how we can be better prepared in the future and other aspects of the incident such as how to continue to build resilience and and Hopefully minimize the amount of trauma that incidents like this Caused within our schools and our communities because that's scary stuff. So we'll We'll continue to learn all the lessons we can from this and not about applying and going forward across state government Not just from the police perspective. How are we able to determine commissioner that the Calls originated out of the country? I don't happen to have that information at my fingertips, but that is the Briefing that I have received and the governor as well. So I don't have to know the how we know that but if that's Importance I can try and get you to state them on that. Is that information from state investigators or federal? investigators It's the In my understanding, so it's the opinion of both Um, and do you have any specificity on where outside the country? this originated Not to a degree that I'd be comfortable saying I think that there are some theories and speculation, but I um Nothing that I go on record saying and do you know if it's um Is there a sense of whether this is part of a organized syndicate of some kind or a road after or? That I don't know We're hardly the the only state that's been dealing with this Until we can better Prevent this and I don't know if that's even possible because I mean is it something that the state should be Budgeting for maybe in school budgets are for enforcement of responding to these Well, again, I think we've proven I think the the steps were taken last wednesday I think we we did pretty well in our response. Um, but there's always ways to be better and That's something that will come out during the debrief and and we'll put those into practice if needed We'll take whatever steps we need to to make sure our kids are safe So if it needs if it's more resources, we'll take a look at that if it's just the the practice will Change our approach, but anything we can do to perfect that Commissioner anything you want to add to that? No, sir Tim McQuiston from our business magazine to see you're on Believe it or not governor.  The house passed a bill seeking to prevent perpetrators of domestic violence from filing abusive litigation against their ex partners Have you reviewed this bill? It's over in the senate now That's past I'm sure our general counsel has been taking a look at this and as well as public safety, but I I'm not aware of this one But we'll take a look Well, thank you all very much. Appreciate it


Hey, y'all, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name's Akira Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave. I am currently living in Miss, I know.  So that's why you see me the same attire. I'm about to unpack my entire kitchen because I get my dining room table today. I get my knife set that everyone has. It's like the clear acrylic one with the black knives in it. And I just want my kitchen to look nice. My living room is basically almost set up. I have the exact same furniture from my last apartment. I am trying to get a sectional, but yeah, I have my living room set up. Now I'm just gonna work on the kitchen.  Y'all saw me doing that in the last vlog. So yeah, we're just gonna jump right back into putting up everything in the kitchen. I finally want to reprint it. Someone's gonna ask, he's chillin'. I finally got my camera up and working. So yeah, this is my kitchen camera. And this is me. Right now, right now, right now, right now. Ooh, that'd be me. There we go. Okay, so let's get out of that. And yeah, I'm just about to put the camera up and then I'm about to tackle this crazy kitchen of mine. And something in it say, clip check mark or click here to apply. They didn't know they had completely full of freaking coupons. This one came with two of the reveals and it came with this one for the price of when I paid for this, like a loan. This alone at the store I get it from is $10. So getting both of these for that price, getting both of these and another wall plug-in for the price of steel. So I'm about to plug that in now. Is this knife set like this. It's just the acrylic knife set. Put the names on there. Got the camera. Now it's missing y'all. Right here, I'm going to put my bench until I find something else to put right there. So I'm going to use these as my dining room chairs. I kind of want to rug, kind of don't want to rug. I don't know if I'm going to keep the pillows on or take the pillows off. Y'all tell me, how do you like it? Do you like it pillow on or with pillow off? I don't know. That's new. Comment down below and tell me what you think. Hi, baby. I am about to prep my famous meals.  You saw me already cook this. I'll link the video down below. And I will put a card up on the screen right now. Gate thingy for Prince for when I get my patio stuff. This one from TJ Matt. Yeah, I'm just trying to clean this up. I'm probably going to order my patio furniture within probably my next pay period. So about maybe a week or two. But yeah, I just got everything cleaned. This is my spare bedroom, YouTube room, beauty room. Not really office room anymore because I have an office built in here. So this is the room when you come down the hallway.  And then I put the mirror on this door because I already have mirrors in there. And this is all my junk that I have. I broke my other ring light last night, my accident.   So yeah, I'm just going to hyperlapse me trying to, I'm going to put my vanity together and all the way together because I don't have anyone here to hold the freaking mirror up.  And I have so much more vanity space now because like I said, I have an office. So I don't have any of my school books and stuff inside of my vanity drawers anymore. And I don't have any just random mess inside of there anymore because I have so much more space to put everything now. Or more something for everything. So hopefully lighting is good. Right here, that one by the closet. And then the other one is over here kind of in the corner. What else I like about this apartment is it has these plugs, the ones that has the USB ports. And that's literally all the way over here. So I really need this one to be like right there smack in the middle. So my plan with the room is I want a new couch like I can't say. And the old couch, if I don't sell it, I'm going to put it in here. And that couch is going to go over there on that wall. So that's why I'm not putting my vanity over there. And also I can't put my vanity over there because my window is coming in over here with the natural sunlight. So he found his new bed that I bought for my cue. That's what he in. To put this on, I don't use, I don't want to glue mine and I also don't want it just laying on the desk because it'll slide. So I use command strips. Like the light looks really good without switching lights on. You see how it don't look as good. So I'm about to edit all these videos for y'all. I know y'all are ready, y'all are anxious and y'all are like, I'm carrying with the hell of these videos and maybe they coming, okay? So by now you should already have seen at least two or three different videos. So finances because everything cooks so good, so well.  That only takes an hour and 30 minutes if that were a good stove. And baby, it used to take at least two hours or two hours and like 20 minutes to cook the chicken through. So literally this bad boy, it cooked, I cook this for an hour and 30 minutes but really it really should just be enough for about like an hour and 10 because this shit cooks fast on 400. So this just cooked my noodles perfect. I'm just so happy with my new place. Just so happy, so happy, I don't understand. And it's literally the little things that you miss and that you kind of don't realize that you miss or need until it's gone. And baby, chicken was definitely one of them. I used to cook every single day in my other apartments and when I moved to my last apartment, literally did not cook as much.  Okay, so I'm about to drain out my noodles. You know, let's turn it over so you can see. Oh, damn. I haven't found anywhere to put my sugar, so. It's just gonna stay right there, my sugar and my flour. I don't know about y'all, I like a little bit of water left in my noodles. And I just bought this. I don't know why these won't stick to my stuff. And I don't know why. Cause I thought the other one was just broken, but this one will not stick. And I just bought that, you know, like this. I'm actually gonna, yeah, I don't know. I guess it's because it can't stick to this surface. That's super annoying. I'll probably take it back, I still got the stuff for it. But yeah, I still gotta take prints outside. So when I'm done eating my noodles and like uploading all the stuff, why, like why? So when I'm done eating my noodles, it's kinda overcooked. I'm gonna have to cook these on three minutes cause that microwave cooked pretty fast. So, yeah, I'm gonna eat my noodles, upload. My video's from my SD card. And once I'm done eating, I'm gonna take prints outside, come back and eat it for the rest of the night. It's 9.34. So hopefully it shouldn't take me too long. I've been editing as I go. The first vlog should be almost done. And then I'll have my apartment haul out for y'all. And then the next vlog will come out and then my empty apartment tour and all of that jazz to be out, so, y'all. We are about to be on our way to the groomers. As you can see, he looks a mess. I called and booked a bath and trim on line since they don't have any availability until next week. But it's always good to call just in case. And this is the before and I will show the after once we get back. So I just got back from Dollar Tree. Sorry if y'all hear my dishwasher. It may be loud, but yeah, just got back from Dollar Tree. And I'm gonna show what I got. I went in for two items and got a lot of other random shit, so. What? Yeah. So I got some more soap. I'm trying to fill up my, um, spare. Oops. I'm trying to fill up my spare bathroom with extras for guests and me. So I got a lot of soap. I got a lot of these toilet things.  I bought four since I have two bathrooms now. These are from Dollar Tree. It's the mini pack with only strawberry in them. I've never seen this before. And the strawberry flavor is my favorite, so. Got that. I understand what it is. So I also picked up some all glass plates. I'm trying to switch out, like I said, in my previous clips. I want all, like, clear glass or acrylic type things. So I bought four of these. I don't know if I'm gonna set them on the dining room table or not, because my dining room table is all glass. So, got those. What would it be? I have another bag of stuff, but I can't show it because it's actually part of a gift. I got some more safety pins because I've been needing some of these. I also got some straws. Every time my mom come over here, she like to drink out of straws and I never have any, so I got some of those for her. I got two of these plastic containers for my plastic containers for my sugar and for my flour. I was gonna get glass ones, but I'm gonna get plastic for right now, since they were only a dollar. I'll probably go back to TJ Maxx and get some. And I also got another thing of dishwashing liquid. This is what I'm gonna use to clean out my shower. I'm gonna put the dishwashing liquid in here and scrub it. I bought two more pins for work, just random stuff. And these little smell, good baggies. These smell amazing from Dollar Tree. I highly recommend these. I'll probably keep one in my car and then I'm gonna keep one in my spare bathroom and one in my YouTube room, about this expert market for work. And then this little wall plug-in, like I said, a whole lot of random stuff. Bought more baby wipes. I bought extra two brushes. And I bought another loofah.  I bought more napkins because I'm getting slow. These clips I've been needing some. I always open bags of chips and I have to put bobby pins on. And I bought these, what are these called? Flowers Peaks, nevermind. I bought these flowers peaks. I really like the peaks. I like using actual flowers, but a lot of people I know like to use those so I got them for them when they come over. And I could not resist this little magnet that says dog mom on it. So I bought it. I'm about to fill these up right now. After I wash them out. I'm gonna get some tags and put on there too. You just take your action. He playing with the new toy I got him. He got to wash my apartment hall. So he just got a bath and he smells really good.  They trimmed his ears and stuff like that. So I just got back from Kroger's. I just had to go to Walmart to get macaroni and some more bacon because for whatever reason, Kroger's wanted to charge $8.49 for a three pack. And Walmart only charges $6 for something. So they definitely had me effed up. So this is my little cart. Use it all the time, like I said. And then here's some more bags. And there's a few more over there. So I priced myself just right. I said it was gonna be a $150 for just my food items. It was probably only like maybe a hundred, maybe 110. Every time I go grocery shopping, it's not more than $100 because I literally get the same exact thing. And I know how much stuff is. So this time I got like some more wall plugins. I ain't got popsicles this time. I got, you know, just a few more other random things and things that's not actually food. So that's what made it $153. Let me close my blinds real quick because when I was walking outside, I could see up in here perfectly. So I'm about to do a mini grocery haul. And then this is gonna be the end of this vlog. If you watch any of my other grocery haul videos or me grocery shopping in a vlog, I get to the exact same thing normally. Sometimes I may get things that I haven't had in a while or, you know, things I'm gonna try new. So I'm gonna take all of this out, lay it on the counter and just quickly go over it. And I gotta take the prints outside also. He hasn't been outside since he got back from his groom's appointment. They're like, I think he was outside like two when we got back to the house. So yeah, this is all the stuff that's not food. So grocery-wise, saw these, had to get them. I haven't had these in so long. And plus my nephew loves popsicles. So when he come over, he'll be able to have some popsicles. I got me a steak. I couldn't really find, I usually get steaks from Walmart and I couldn't really find the type of steak I get there. Love these sister Parker Rose. If you know, you know, because they just do this. Prince and Amir looking at it as well. Okay, now I got some heavy whipping cream. I kinda wanna do pasta. I have chicken breast in the freezer. And I think I have, I don't have, no, this is gonna be Alfredo. I think I have like actual pasta. But anyways, I like to get the small thing of biscuits because it's just me, like I like the five. But I had to get these. These are the only biscuits Kroger had. Got me some shredded cheese. I like this kind of cheese to eat by itself or with crackers or something. And unfood related. Kroger's always have a good deal. So they had three for 10, the one with the plug in and it comes with a little oil or whatever. So I got three of those, same scent for $10. Kinda the same scent as my Febreze ones. Since I have so much space, I can't really smell my Febreze ones. But it's like when other people come, they smell it. But you know, you kinda get adjusted to your own place. So got these command hooks to put up my Swiffer Sweeper in my broom. I've been looking all over for smoothie straw so I can drink up my nasty smoothies a lot faster. They not be too nasty, but I mean who really wants to drink thick protein powder and stuff. And then I got this Citricourt from my office area. So they also had lunchables on sale. They had four for $5. I just got the nacho ones. I usually eat the cheese and crackers one also, but I just wasn't feeling those right now. And then on the candy, they had like the Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers, all that type of thing, two for five. So I got two of these and I also got two Gushers. And for somewhat whatever reason, I've been craving Skittles. Like I've been eating Skittles the past three weeks. Constantly. And I don't, if y'all know me, y'all know I do not eat candy. The only candy I really ate was like a Reese's. And literally, I'm like, I don't know what got into me. It's working overnight. So I be getting the big bag of Skittles because I go through them so fast, honey. And I also get the big bag of worms because why not? Okay. So moving on to my little stuff that's in the cart. I got Sprite. I know I told y'all I was trying to stop drinking them, but I can't. I need at least one good old Sprite. Progress also had the red bearing pizzas on sale. They were three. No, they were 2.99. The other ones were three for 10. So I got those. This one has the Gushers that were on sale. I told y'all about. I get this kind of cheese dip. And I also, I don't really drink anymore like not anymore. I drink wine. I can't drink hard liquor or anything. So I got these. I thought they were cute. I wanted to try them out. They said just add ice to them. Just a little margaritas. It's 13.9% alcohol. So baby, me, it's gonna give me lead. I had a gang night, like three of them probably now. And baby, when I tell you she got crazy, she got crazy.   Extra thick bacon. I also got some chicken wings that I'm about to cook tonight. And progress also had the like cranberry juice and some of the other juices for 10. So I got a cran mango. Also got an onion. If you don't cook an onion, then what you doing, baby girl? And what is in here? These are my grapes. I got green grapes and I got little cuties up in this one. And then I only got one box of macaroni because like I said, Kroger's was trippin'. And Kroger's also had these two for five. I love my big beans. And I got me a thing of orange juice. I drink orange juice with no pulp, okay? What have I made this in my own? Do not tell me. Five minutes. Okay. And I like the original cranberry juice. I never had cran mango. So this would be my first time trying it out. But I also really, really love cran apple. And I just got another thing of the original cranberry juice. So that's all that I got from my little grocery haul. I think this should take me through the week. I'm gonna cook me a steak, some chicken and a few meals. I do gotta go one more for a few more things. And that's about it. So I'm about to put all this up, take prints out. Actually I'm about to take prints out first and then come back and put it up because I got a real range. My refrigerator for sure. And yeah, I'm not gonna do any organization yet, which I do have stuff for. I'm gonna wait to do a full video organizing my refrigerator. I would say pantry, but basically my pantry is behind the door and I already organized it. But I'll probably add all of that together in anyways. That's all. I'm gonna end this vlog here.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So I'm gonna be sharing my thoughts on the recently new Candyman trailer that came out yesterday and the new images They came out you'll be seeing them spread out across this video as I'm talking of course, so We got like an updated plot synopsis along with this as well So I'll just go over that really quick It says in present day a decade after the last of the Cabrini green towers were torn down Anthony and his partner move into a loft of the now gentrified Cabrini a chance encounter with an old-timer exposes ants need to Anthony to the true story behind Candyman anxious to use these macabre Details in his studio as fresh grits for paintings He and only opens a door to a complex past and unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence Now in the new trailer that came out no signs of Tony Todd whatsoever. I don't know if anyone else saw Tony Todd I didn't see a single bit of Tony Todd. We know that we're expecting to see him Factored into this new story in some way shape or form, but mostly the story will be about Anthony Anthony McCoy who were submitted the younger baby from the first film that Helen rescued played by now Yaha Abdul-Mateen he'll be playing the now grown-up Anthony McCoy We know Vanessa Williams is back as the mother to now confirm that Tony Todd recently was in an interview Talking about the fact that this is a direct sequel to the original film Which you already kind of knew basically he talked about his excitement to work with me at the Costa and this movie is basically going to be the story about how Anthony kind of gets his own Candyman s story and origins. This is going to be his candyman story because What was what was the biggest standout to me from that new trailer was the description of what Candyman was From this old timer that Anthony will come in contact with He says that this Candyman was an actual Candyman an actual Candyman who Was a black man in the area of Cabrini and he would just give out candy to two kids, I guess and One day or something was going on where razor blades were starting to show up in the candy and the wrong man got blamed for that because of the fact that he Was going around handing out candy, so the police had it wrongfully handled matters regarding the black individual a black man in this case and That's Where the original story of Candyman came from or that's this particular origin story of what Candyman is now now What I will say on to that is I don't believe this is them saying that The Daniel Robotel or I think I'm pronouncing that last name wrong Tony Todd's Candyman I don't think they're saying that that is not what's happening here anymore since we know Candyman is still a thing It's opening the door and expanding on the mythos of what we've already kind of seen With how the original film with we had Helen who more or less was this character that Tony Todd Tony Todd's Candyman was trying to bring over into his side after she started looking into his into his history and not believing in his history and We come to find that it's implied that maybe she might be a reincarnation of the past lover that he ended up losing his life for since he was the Artist of a slave who had certain privileges because of this and the money that they were making and he ended up getting the He ended up getting a specific white woman pregnant and that ended up in him getting killed because a mob hunted him down Cut his hand off that he used for his art and they unleashed bees on him And some nearby child was chanting Candyman Candyman Candyman and that's how that story was was boring How he came to be known as Candyman and now of course There's nothing to do with candy there at all But this new origin story for this man that I guess we're gonna be following primarily With this origin of who Candyman is because it's not Tony Todd that was shown throughout the trailer. It's Yaha Yaha's character Anthony seen images of that of the of an actual candy man Who was handing out that candy that was wrongfully killed by the police? so What I think is happening here is just opening the door With the things that we already saw in the first film with Helen because Helen ended up having her own story anyway By the end she became just like what Tony Todd's care to have been back when he was wrongfully murdered Helen was wrongfully murdered in the end of the original film.  It wasn't him. So I don't think Tony Todd's legacy or his mythos necessarily being ignored It's just them expanding on it. The trailer in and of itself was very candy man. Esk It does give me vibes of the original. We have Anthony clearly going around town Looking for details about this legend this myth. He's gonna be at his mother's house We know we've seen several shots of that near the costa is featured in like a recent message She gave for the Juneteenth holiday that recently passed where she's talking about what it means to her and how this story is very relevant Compared to what's going on in today's world regarding someone just in today's climate So I'm really excited to see what this woman can bring to the table It looks like this will be a very well put together film with a lot of Body horror it seems as we saw throughout the trailer. There's a lot of teases and glimpses of body horror But my whole thing here I wanted to kind of really talk about mostly were the fact that this man on screen here seems to be kind of Indicating that there's gonna be a different origin story factored into this But still the head honcho that started all of this and kind of is the person who would pave the way for what's going on with These new incarnations of these candy man characters appearing in these areas is Tony Todd's Daniel Robenthal and again I'm sure mispronouncing that name. They're not ignoring his legacy whatsoever They're just expanding on it and all these candy man s features that are showing up just like how Helen showed up at the end of The first film they're all tied to what originally happened with Daniel And there's just different stories that have come out since the last original film Now there's actually been a literal person in the area who gave out candy and they were wrongfully killed Not to say that this didn't happen around the time the original film happened But like we're just hearing different variants of what candy man is now and we go even as far to say candy man Isn't just a single person candy man is the entire hive the hive of course being people who are wrongfully being killed For things that they didn't deserve to be killed for so I like the way this is kind of implying that candy man for those Of you who are up on your history candy man could be in material candy man could be George Floyd candy man could be a lot of different people who have unfortunately lost their lives for stuff that Makes no sense to lose your life over stuff that makes no sense to lose your life over could have been prevented Could have been dealt with in a different manner.
