Item number, SCP-007, Object Class, Euclid, Special Containment Procedures, SCP-007 is to be contained in a sealed room, measuring 10 meters on each side. Room is to be furnished comfortably as a living area, along with whatever items are requested by room. Hereafter referred to as subject, given that providing subject with requested items would not compromise security. Subject is not to be allowed to leave the room, and is to be detained with force if necessary. Description, SCP-007 is located within a cavity in the abdomen of subject. Subject is a Caucasian male, physically approximately 25 years of age. Subject claims to be 28, and 176 cm in height. Most of subject's abdomen, muscles, skin, and organs is absent, though subject does not appear to suffer because of this. Instead of normal flesh, a sphere composed of soil and water is present, though it does not actually come into contact with subject's body at any point. The sphere appears to be, in most respects, a miniature near-duplicate of the earth, approximately 60 cm in diameter, although continental alignment is not consistent with that of any alignment known in Earth's history. The sphere has its own weather patterns and negligible gravitational pull, in addition to microscopic organisms somewhat resembling those of modern-day Earth inhabiting it. Two intelligent species have been observed, though contact and communication with either has yet to be made. Technology levels of observed species must be checked at least once a week and, as of now, are approximately equal to that of 15th century Earth. Subject claims to be named, but no records of such a person can be found. Subject does not require food or water, and while he has been observed consuming both, what happens to such substances after being swallowed is unknown. Subject is intelligent, IQ has been measured at 128, and amiable, and regards the planet in his abdomen as a minor curiosity about his body. Subject seems to experience no stress about his unusual condition. When questioned about planet's origins, Subject replied, I just woke up one day, and there it was. I don't have any idea how it got there. Subject has provided a Social Security number and Driver's License number, and requested that they be checked against known records. When checked, it was discovered that neither had yet been allocated. Dr. Roo has a weekly chess game with Subject, during which Subject's mental health is evaluated. Dr. Roo reports that Subject does not seem to mind the restricted living environment and has yet to attempt to escape, or show signs of violence or mental illness, though he has repeatedly requested a computer with an internet connection. It is recommended that this not be provided, as it may be used to compromise security. Lesson complete, if you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-006, Fountain of Youth, right now.

Open Lab Ignite. We've got 14 speakers, we have a very eclectic and fascinating group of people coming up. In Ignite Talk, an unconference, it's a hack on your traditional long boring conference. Museums seem to love this phrase, and I really hate it. Pay your dues, we say. Do an unpaid internship or five. Work six part-time jobs after grad school. Heck, go to grad school. I've got a better pay phrase.  Students know things, using them to do more than just processing or more than just, you know, data entry. And actually getting them involved is great. They know stuff, they want to help. That's why they're in school. I'm breaking boundaries and doing things differently all the time in exhibits, in events, in educational experiences. I believe that you need to bring people into museums not only by the art on the wall, but also by interacting with people and having public programs. Museums are intellectual, textual, visual, and object-based, but bodies are complex. We learn on levels that are kinesthetic, multisensory, and not always processed in the language parts of the brain. Start with the senses. All of the senses. Historic places should not be boring. Open educational resources reduce barriers to access. Ensure educators have the rights to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute educational resources without having to ask permission. We've noticed that museums have a wealth of already approved content that can easily be put online. That so many institutions still seek to control high-resolution images of public domain works of art is simply an abuse of their missions. Museum mausoleum. It's just morbid wordplay. It's true, though. You write tombstones for your collection. May they rest in storage. But what if your collections are alive like never before in a digital space? Let's follow the trails of museum objects like fireflies dancing through a digital meadow. Digital technologies offer new tools, new approaches, and heightened levels of speed. So millions of people around the world are coming online in the next decade, as we all know. Hungry for the expertise that resides in your institutions. Why don't we work together to set ambitious goals to meet their needs? All of these public institutions also have digital repositories, collections, research databases, social media, and other forums to share their groundbreaking research and projects. And many have already created curriculum plans for students to learn from their work. We need to create a shared language, and we need to have a trans-disciplinary linking, breaking down the silos. Every cultural institution has amazing stories as part of their existing intellectual capital. Tell the story of the content and act as a curator, who is helping to teach, inform, and of course inspire. We, the people in this room, are the makers. We're the catalysts. Let's open this amazing field to more people of all backgrounds. Let's build windows into our organizations instead of walls. Defy the tyranny of the precedents. I would encourage everyone to break a few rules now and then. It's not going to hurt you. Let's get to work. Thank you. Big round of applause for these amazing sponsors and partners and co-companiers.


Santa knows where all the best toys are and this December many of the Hunter's smartphones are just a penny with service in Appalachian Wireless. Stop by your local Appalachian Wireless to check out all of the great smartphone deals that consistently top the nice lists. This Christmas is truly going to be bigger and better than ever. Better service, bigger savings, that is. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. More than 700 children in the Belfry area were able to mark some items off their Christmas list today. The Belfry Area Youth Services Center partnered with the Spirit of Truth Ministries out of Washington, Courthouse, Ohio to make sure children were able to have a good Christmas. Because of the local job situation, we felt like we needed to come here and it's a real honor to come. The joy of the kids and the people are so receptive and just appreciative and it's a great honor. It takes all three of our churches working together. For 20 years, the Spirit of Truth Ministries have traveled to the Tri-State area. This year, the group was drawn to Belfry. Right now with the declining coal market and loss of jobs, it's just been really a blessing for this community to have the extra financial support at the holidays. Organizers say the Spirit of Truth Ministries was a huge help to the children in the area. We have brought coats and shoes and toys and gloves and hats and food boxes for the families and just trying to be a blessing. Our church just always wants to reach out further than our community. Children were also given the chance to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus while searching for their Christmas gifts. Reporting in Belfry for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.

The Pacific story is the story of the Pacific and its people, of the peaceful sea and the lands and lives it touches, and their meaning to us and to the generations to come. The National Broadcasting Company presents the first in a new series of programs dedicated to a fuller understanding of the vast Pacific basin. This new broadcast series, another feature of the Inter-American University of the Air, will deal with a different aspect of the Pacific each week, with drama of the past and present, and commentary by Orrin Latimore, authority on the Pacific, and recently political advisor to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. This is the Pacific story. Japan's Dream of World Dominion The vast Pacific East at last meets the West. The destinies of the millions of people who live in the lands it touches are faithfully intertwined. The vast Pacific no longer separates the Occident from the Orient, but rather joins them. Here around the Pacific basin, a new world is emerging, a new era of cultural and commercial and industrial development. What happens in the Pacific today will affect not only the millions of Chinese and Malaysians and Polynesians, but the millions of Americans as well. Land forms an arc rather than a complete circle around the Pacific. At the south, the Pacific opens into the Antarctic Sea. South America is on the Pacific from Cape Horn to Panama, and Mexico is on the Pacific and the United States and Canada. At the top of the map, Alaska lunges out to the West and almost touches Siberia. From here, the rim curves away to the south. Below Siberia lies Japan, and behind Japan on Asia's mainland is China. South of China lies the Philippines, and west and south are Indochina, Thailand, the Netherlands, Indies, and Malaya. Further to the west are Burma and India. At the bottom of the map, between the feet of the Great Arch, are Australia and New Zealand, and dotting the sea itself for thousands of islands. With the peoples of these lands, our future in the Pacific must be resolved. This vast Pacific storehouse of wealth and culture and wisdom is ablaze. 70 million regimented Japanese are engaged in the terrible attempt to enslave a billion and more people. At the very beginning, the Japanese militarists made their biggest and most thorough conquest when they conquered the Japanese people and yoked them to a system of unending, recurring aggression. This double conquest, at home and abroad, gathered new impetus only 16 years ago, in 1927, by an event in Mukden, Manchuria. Who is it? Are you alone? Yes, but I must hurry. Come in. They are going to start at 10 o'clock tonight. And they are all here? Yes, from Tokyo and from all over Manchuria. They have been arriving here in Mukden for two days. Do you have their names? Not all of them, but they are all Japanese experts, military officers, railroad men, keeping men. Does any of them suspect you are Chinese? No, but they are to start in less than an hour and I cannot get back here again until it is over. How long will it last? A week or more and I must have someone to take the information I get to you. Chen will do that. I am expecting him here now. I will be in the conference room or need it. You know what it means if you are discovered? I have been a house boy there a long time. I will be watching you. I speak to no one. Who is it? Chen. It came down at Black Eric. But I thought someone was following me. Was anyone following you, Feng? No, I tried to see for sure, but it was too dark. We must move. We will be here before dawn. We will move to one thing, Louis, tonight. Then I must leave that once. Will you be at the house, Chen? Yes, Fukuzawa is taking me. I will be in the kitchen. Good. To look after his personal needs. I will come in tomorrow. Feng will have access to the conference room, but will not be able to reach me. You, Chen, will see him and report to me. I can only get to the market and back. I shall meet you there. Is there anything else? No, not now. I shall expect you when the conference is over.  Yes, sir. Wait a minute. If you are followed tonight. What is it? Let us be realistic about the problem. Being realistic implies the policy of blood and iron. That could be a suicide. Oh, that could be a proper accident. Please, please, gentlemen, please. In any plan so great in scope as that which we envision for Japan, we will do well to remember the principle laid down by my ancestor, Lord Hota, in 1858. In his memorial to the emperor, Lord Hota said, the object should always be kept in view of reigning the foundation for securing the general over all nations. We should declare our protection over harmless but powerful nations. Thus, the nations of the world will come to look up to our emperor as the great ruler of all nations. You mean, sir, that we should go to war with the United States? If we are to control China, we must first crush the United States. China is wanting. The United States is another. We must start preparations at once. Let us not deceive ourselves. We must fight the United States sometime. Here is your sake, sir. Put it down here. If we are to conquer China, we must first take Manchuria and Mongolia.  Yes, just a little. If need not a necessary file that going into Manchuria and Mongolia will result in war with the United States. America has too much at stake in Asia to permit us to take either Manchuria or China without war. America is a wrong way from Manchuria. Would you care for some more sake, sir? No, no. That is all. America is not our only danger in Pacific. The Chinese may someday wake up, but these factors must not deter us from the plan. We have come here to Mukden to work out. No, strategy is a sound unless it is realistic. If we merely hope to develop trade in eastern Asia, we shall eventually be defeated by England and America. No, our course is to take Manchuria, Mongolia, China, and whatever else is necessary to ensure our self-protection. Here is your tobacco, sir. Oh, yes, sir. That is all. That is all. Yes, sir. We must take farm attitude toward the United States. To give warning to China and to the rest of the world. We are not ready to take such an attitude. Then we must prepare. No nation aside from Japan is noble, and injustice enough to come out. You have come here to market? Yes. Here is the report confirmed. A stranger is watching you. The vegetables are wilted. Let us move along to the bean cakes. They are over here. It is the same man I have seen each time I have come here to market. Have some been in the conferences? Yes, but they have been watching me. I am sure. Do not come here again. There will be another session tomorrow. I will try to reach you at once. It is no longer a matter of where we shall start, but how and when. The United States in the Lansing ECE north of 1917 have admitted our special interests in Manchuria. But how shall we start? It is simple. The way to gain actual rights in Manchuria and Mongolia is to use this region as a base. Altarite as a base? Under the pretext of trade under commerce, yes. And from there penetrate the rest of China. Here are your capsules, sir. Oh, yes, sir. Did you bring water? Yes, I have it over here. Oh, but that will take money more than we have. We can get foreign capital through the slogan equal opportunity for all in Manchuria. Yes. That will not only help us get foreign loans, but will dispel suspicions of our design in Manchuria. Here is your water, sir. As a military man, I leave the getting of the money to you. Why predict? I'll take the glass, sir. Will there be anything else? That is all, now. That is all. A million yen must be appropriated to send 400 retired military officers to mix with the people. These officers are trained for this mission? Trained and ready, yes. They will go disguise as teachers and Chinese citizens. Our force to move must be into Manchuria, then into China. In our world with Russia and the United States, we must make Manchuria and Manchuria popular. I have not expected to see you, Feng. They took Chen today. Chen knew it was coming. Here is my report and his too. Before they took him, he arranged for a Korean clerk to furnish us a complete text. Then the conference is over. It ended last night. Eleven days of wanton plopping. They all left as secretly as they came. They have put their thoughts into a plan. Soon China will be bleeding, and then the rest of the world. In July 1927, this plan currently conceived by the cream of Japanese military and civilian experts, generals, admirals, railroad men, shipping men, economists, bankers, industrialists. This crystallization of the dreams of Lord Hatha, the Black Dragon Society, Premier Kuma and Vaikonk Tane, this plan to dominate the world was presented by Baron Tanaka to the Emperor of Japan. That was the plan. Japan buckled down to a task with zeal and four years later in 1931, They are coming. They will be here any minute. It will do no good to lock the door, Yang. We cannot let them get control of this telephone building. They have already taken over the telegraph offices and put the radio stations out of commission. We can delay them until our army sends help. There is no help. They are taking over everything. I saw them marching into the powerhouse. They set off a bomb at 10 o'clock last night at a place where their own troops were concentrated on a South Manchurian railway. Then they said that one of us Chinese did it. They had it all planned. Before the night was over, they attacked and captured the Chinese barracks and the great personnel here at Mukden. Yang, Yang, you've got this door here. Yes, sir. We must keep these telephone lines open as long as we can. I shall never let them pass. Yang says they have taken the powerhouse. Yes, they have taken. They have captured Antung, Changkung, and Nuchang. Those cities are hundreds of miles away. Is this an invasion? It has been done, sir, from Tokyo. They are coming. Shall I open it, sir? Open this door! Open this door! You are fools. You are under arrest. What have we done? That you will soon run. And you, get away from that door. No. No, you will not pass here. You come now, right? No, get away from door. Never. Never. Worked out by those experts at Mukden was beginning to unfold. The Tanaka Memorial was beginning to be translated into bombs and bullets and blood. Manchurian Mongolia first, and then in 1937, China. Attack on China as a result of the incident at the Marcapolo Bridge in Pyrene. This furious onslaught fought with skill and courage, lost her entire coastline and retreated from a coastal plains to the hills of the interior. And there, with less material than any major power on earth, she successfully fought off attack after attack as the years rolled by. The Japanese plan was unfolding, unfolding faster than we knew. After the fall of France, Japan moved into Indochina. As the war with China drew into its fifth year, the Pacific was boiling. Now the Pacific War was creeping toward America. It struck with paralyzing power, Pearl Harbor. The distant war in the Pacific became our wars. It became the war of all the peoples of the Pacific Basin. Our destiny in the Pacific was at stake, as well as the destiny of the Chinese, the Malaysians and the Polynesians. Now we understood China's plight, and now at last we responded. Hey Sergeant, there's wind down there. Where are we? You've figured out for yourself. We're flying east, aren't we? Yeah, but we're not over Africa yet. Well, relax. If the skipper wanted you to know where we're going, they'd have told you long before this. Well, a whole heavy bombardment squadron like ours has taken off and head east. Our whole these small stations, we're going to land. The fight to form moated bombers, B-24 liberators, swept down through a landing on Puerto Rico last February. There it was met by General H. H. Arnold, commander of the United States Army Air Force, who with field marshal Sir John Deal, were just returning from a meeting with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, following the Casablanca Conference. Up to this point, Puerto Rico, the heavy bombers did not know their destination, but now they did. General Arnold gave them the order. Chongqing. Pilot to navigator, pilot to navigator. Where are we going to side land? Navigator to pilot. We should side Africa in five minutes. What's the snow down there? We're crossing the highest mountains in the world, Himalayas. American heavy bombers in Chongqing, America speaking in terms of cold steel, but bombers are not enough. Bombers need ground crews and supplies, gasoline, spare parts, bullets, bombs. By ships, these were taken across the sea, then flown across India, across the Himalayas, into China. Now those are your orders. Any questions? Very well, ma'am, that's all. Report to your planes. We'll take off at once. Eastwards, east and south across the Chinese planes to the shore of the Pacific, to the Japanese health coasts of China. Halfway around the world, these young Americans had come half way or more from Colorado and Utah, where they had trained, across the nation to Puerto Rico, across the Atlantic to Africa, across Africa, across India, over the Himalayas, and now on the long, long mission from Chongqing to the sea. Navigator to pilot, spotted our target, 1030 o'clock, 1030 o'clock. Good. That's it, all right. Pilot to bombardier, pilot to bombardier, target, 1030 o'clock. Your ship. Bombardier to pilot. American bombers in the Far East, American bombs on Japanese health strongholds, Canton in South China, the Great Island of Hainan, and Haifeng in French Indochina. But the road back is hard. The Japanese occupy Manchuria, the coast of China, the Philippines, Indochina, Thailand, the fabulously wealthy Netherlands Indies, Malaya, Burma, and a great portion of the Pacific basin itself, Japan stands astrid Asia and looms over the horizon of the entire world for there can be peace in the Pacific. This power must be broken. We have only begun to understand this vast unpeaceful sea and all of its waters, many lands and islands, and more than a billion people mean to us. The significance of the events of the Pacific is a matter for one who knows the Pacific. Here is Owen Lattimore, director of the School of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Lattimore. You have been hearing a story of how our enemies in the Pacific forced this war on us. In later programs continuing the story of region after region, people after people, the Pacific story will have much to tell us of our friends as well as our enemies. Fortunately for us and for the future, our friends are even more important than our enemies. For this is not only a story of how free peoples take up arms when they are attacked. We are fighting for something as well as against something, and so are our allies, the United Nations. When the Pacific war began six years ago, long before the war in Europe, the Chinese resisted Japanese invasion because they too had something to fight for, something more than their lands and their homes and their property. More than anything else, they fought because they had been making progress in creating a freer and better China, and because they refused to let the Japanese turn the clock back. That is one of the angles to the story of the Tanaka Memorial, which you heard being retold a few minutes ago. The Tanaka plot was hatched in a memorable year, 1927. That was the year when China's nationalist armies under Jiang Kai-shek were uniting the divided country of China. The Japanese militarists did not want a united and progressive China. They wanted a weak, divided China. They wanted China to be ruled by corrupt politicians and militarists whom the Japanese could bribe and manipulate, so they gathered in haste to plan how to prevent Chinese unification and progress by force. That is why the Chinese to this day are fighting not only to stop the invasion begun in 1937, but for the right to continue their own progress launched in 1927. That creates a bond between America and China. Americans have always believed in the goodness of the future in an expanding horizon. Today and tomorrow, our expanding horizon opens up for us wide vistas across the Pacific. As we move toward that new horizon, what is our advance to be like? Are we to trust across the Pacific as better and tougher imperialists than the Japanese? Or are we going to make our mark in Asia as liberators and as allies of others who are fighting for liberty? Can we win without allies? And can we stay free unless others become free? There can be only one American answer. What we want is liberty and we feel kinship with others who want liberty. Luckily for us, we can find that kinship. Our first great advantage is that we have a good name across the Pacific. There is not a people in Asia which believes that America wants to conquer and possess their territory. Our second great advantage is that thanks primarily to China, there is not a man, woman or child in Asia who does not know the idea of liberty or have the hunger for liberty. And don't forget, there are Japanese also on our side, the conquered Japanese conquered by their own militarists, brave men and women beaten and jailed and powerless until the Japanese military are beaten and the military legend shattered. Every step of Japan's imperialistic aggression abroad has been prepared for by a step in the suppression of the Japanese people. So today the issues are clear, as clear in our enemies' camp as they are in ours, but because we understand what the war is about, we need all the more to understand the peoples who are fighting the war. We are in this war side by side with people who in these modern days drive tractor sleds as well as dog sleds in the Arctic, in it with people who earn their living standing knee-deep in the mud of rice paddies, in it with Malays and Indonesians and Polynesians who made prodigious ocean voyages in canoes before Balboa ever saw the Pacific, in it with Australians and New Zealanders who live where it is summer at Christmas time. Most of these people are different from us in many ways and like us in some ways. What is it that counts, the difference or the likeness? In China a whole people have one recognition as full equals among the free self-governing peoples because they are proof by fighting that they could survive unconquered. In the Philippines we taught a people the ways of democracy and prepared them for the practice of democracy. President Roosevelt has said that he thinks that the Philippines are a very good model for other countries. Chiang Kai-shek of China has just put forward another suggestion in a very important message to us Americans and to all the other United Nations. He says that it is our moral duty some people are not yet ready for it but we should create the conditions under which they can have it when they are ready for it. That opens up a lot of ideas. Here we have one of the great figures of Asiatic history who restates in his own way what Lincoln meant when he said that America could not survive half slave and half free. We must not close the doors of opportunity. Freedom does not stand still. Freedom advances and our men are becoming free all the time. Freedom becomes less real for those who are still nominally free. When Hitler denied freedom to the Jews he limited freedom for other Germans too. When we on the other hand said to the Filipinos you shall be free we created by those words a reality for which the Filipinos would fight and are still fighting. Maybe that is the chapter of the future in the Pacific story. Maybe out of many cultures languages, religions, races there is coming into being something new. Not a dead level on which all men are the same but a wide level on which many people, diverse in their history and different in their present lives may yet have under their feet the firm ground of freedom. Thank you Mr. Lathamore. You have just heard the first program of the new series, The Pacific Story. Next week at this same time over most of these stations the second will be broadcast.

That concludes the debate on a fairer Scotland delivering race equality. It's now time to move on to the next item of business, which is a debate on motion 9128, in the name of Alison Harris, on the final stage of the Writers to the Signate, Dependence and Duty Fund amendment Scotland bill. However, before the debate begins, the Presiding Officer is required understanding orders to decide whether or not, in his view, any provision of the bill relates to a protected subject matter. Put briefly, that is, whether it modifies the electoral system and franchise for Scottish parliamentary elections. If it does, the motion to pass the bill requires support from a supermajority of members, that is, a two-thirds majority of all members, which is 86. In the case of this bill, the Presiding Officer has decided that, in his view, no provision of the writer to the Signate, Dependence and Duty Fund amendment Scotland bill relates to a protected subject matter. Therefore, the bill does not require a supermajority to be passed at stage 3. I therefore call on Alison Harris to speak to and move the motion on behalf of the bill committee for up to four minutes, please. I am delighted to be opening this final stage debate for the Writers to the Signate, Dependence and Duty Fund amendment Scotland bill. At this point, I would like to thank my colleagues Mary Fee and Tom Arthur for all their input during the various stages of the bill and also the committee clerks. Historically, the WS society looked after writers to the Signate and their widows by making ad hoc charitable donations. The fund was formalised by private legislation in 1803, which provided for the payment of annuities to WS society members' widows. This legislation was subsequently updated, most recently by the Writers to the Signate, Dependence and Duty Fund Order Confirmation Act 1982, which sets out the current legislative framework. The 1982 act provided for the change of name from the widows' funds to Dependence and Duty Fund, in recognition of the fact that women were then admitted to the WS society, and the fund was opened up to orphans. More recently, the fund regulations were updated to cover the civil partners of contributors to the fund. The bill was introduced as a private bill to the Scottish Parliament on 18 May 2017, and the Writers to the Signate, Dependence and Duty Fund amendment Scotland bill committee was established to consider the bill during its passage through Parliament. Private bills are bills that impact primarily on private interests, that is specific groups or individuals. Those differ from public bills that have a broader and wider effect on society. For this reason, the private bill process is very much focused on giving those whose interests might be engaged by a private bill the opportunity to make representations to the Parliament or object to the bill. The objection period for the bill ran until 18 July 2017, and no objections were received. The committee did not receive any written evidence either. The current value of the fund is approximately 55 million, and the value of each annuity is 8,400. The fund was closed to new members in 1989, and there are currently 141 beneficiaries to the fund, known as a newtons. With possibly up to 500 potential annuitants, with an expectation, the fund will continue paying annuities into the 2040s. The bill has two objectives relating to updating the 1982 act. First, section 11 seeks to update the definition of an actuary. This is a minor technical change that follows the merger of the two professional actuarial bodies. Second, section 12 seeks to remove the requirement for the collector to be a contributor to the fund and places a new requirement for the collector to be an individual. The bill does not otherwise affect the role or functions of the collector. The second objective will widen the pool of people eligible to be elected as collector and ensure that contributors have the opportunity to elect someone with relevant experience and expertise. The committee considered the bill's objectives during the first or preliminary stage of the bill's scrutiny and agreed with the general principles of the bill. The committee remains content that the bill is necessary and worthwhile. As a result, I am pleased to move the motion in my name, that the Parliament agrees that the writers to the signate, dependence on unity fund, amendment Scotland, bill be passed. I now call Mary Fee. Two minutes would be appreciated, Ms Fee. I'll do my very best. Like all committees considering legislation, it's the role of a private bill committee to consider the general principles of the bill at first or the preliminary stage and any amendments to the bill. Excuse me, Ms Fee. Can I ask everyone to please be quiet? This is a very important piece of legislation. Thank you, Presiding Officer, or consideration stage. At preliminary stage, the committee took evidence from the promoters of the bill. In relation to section 11 of the bill, definition of an actuary, the committee discussed the updated definition and the promoters confirmed that the definition was being updated in light of the 2011 merger of the Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland and the Institute of Actuaries. The promoters considered that the update was not strictly necessary, as a court would take a pragmatic and sensible approach should statutory interpretation be required, but that the update was proposed for the avoidance of doubt and the committee was content with that explanation. At consideration stage, the promoters sought to further future-proof the definition of an actuary by way of an amendment in response to further changes that might be made by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. We were satisfied with the promoters' explanation and agreed to this amendment. In relation to section 12 of the bill, defining who is eligible to be a collector, the committee agreed that the future administration of the fund required a change to the 1982 act, given the diminishing pool of contributors that Alison Harris referred to. The committee explored a number of issues in order to satisfy itself that the proposed amendment to the 1982 act was the best solution to that problem. The promoters confirmed that reopening the fund to new contributors was not an option. They argued that the reasons for closing the fund in 1989, namely that changes to the tax regime had made the fund a tax inefficient way of saving, were still valid. The committee explored the reasons for the requirement that the contributor must be an individual rather than a company, a limited liability partnership or an unincorporated association. The promoters explained that the provision had been prompted by feedback from the contributors themselves, who were quite clear that they wanted an individual in the role, although they recognised that a number of the functions required the support of their professional firm or professional organisation. The promoters highlighted that all the fund's contributors in living memory had been supported by their own solicitors' firm. The committee noted that that would be a matter for the trustees of the fund when advertising the role of contributor. That process is not covered by the 1982 act and does not therefore need to be set out in this bill. The committee was content with those explanations and agreed that the new provision relating to the collector was the most sensible solution. The committee also asked the promoters about the future administration of the fund and particularly the trustees' expectations for how it will be managed as the pool of contributors further diminishes. As the contributors elect the trustees and collector each year, their diminishing number will ultimately impact on the administration of the fund. The promoters envisaged that, at some point, the fund will be converted to cash and the cash used to produce annuities for the remaining annuitants. At this point, the fund would effectively be wound up. The committee agrees that this strategy seems the most appropriate way forward. On the basis of the promoters' evidence, the committee agreed with the general principles of the bill and that remains our view. Accordingly, I am happy to support the motion for the bill to be passed. I want to put in the record my thanks to the clerks and the researchers for all their support and to my colleagues Alice, Alison, Harris and Mary Fee. As my colleagues and the writers to the Signate Society Dependence Fund Bill, the committee has spoken about and our consideration of and full support for this fund, I would like to use this opportunity to provide some of the broader context of the private bills that the Parliament has considered so far this session very briefly. Alice and Harris, Mary Fee and myself have sat as members of the three private bill committees constituted by the Parliamentary Bureau to consider the three private bills that have been introduced so far this session. The others are the Edinburgh Bakers Widows Fund Bill and the Pouf and Shaffery Drainage Commission Scotland Bill committees. I have acted as convener on both of those two committees. The Edinburgh Bakers Widows Fund was introduced on 20 March this year and sought to transfer the property and assets of the Edinburgh Bakers Widows Fund to a modern non-status to the Charitable Trust, which would support education and training opportunities in baking. The committee supported the bill, received no objections and was amended at consideration stage. The bill was passed by Parliament on 21 November. The Pouf and Shaffery Drainage Commission Scotland Bill was introduced slightly earlier on 17 March this year and was seeking to make various changes to the Pouf and Shaffery Drainage Commission. That is a more complex bill and is taking longer as three objections have been lodged and so final stage will not be reached until the spring of next year. You have not seen the last of it yet, Presiding Officer. The third private bill introduced this session. The writers to the Signate Dependence and Unity Fund amendment Scotland Bill was introduced on 18 July. As Mary Fee explained, no amendments were lodged in respect to the bill and no objections have ever been lodged in respect to the bill. One amendment of a very minor in technical nature was agreed at consideration stage. In conclusion, I agree with my bill, committee colleagues. I am content that effective scrutiny has been done in the present case and that the bill therefore deserves the Parliament support. On that basis, I am happy to support the motion for the bill to be passed. All in one breath. That concludes the final stage of the writers to the Signate Dependence and Unity Fund amendment. We turn now to decision time. There are four questions. The first question is that amendment 9529.1 in the name of Annie Wells, which seeks to amend motion 9529 in the name of Angela Constance on a fairer Scotland delivering race equality be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are agreed. The next question is amendment 9529.3 in the name of Pauline McNeill, who seeks to amend the motion in the name of Angela Constance be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are agreed. The next question is that motion 9529 in the name of Angela Constance as amended be agreed. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Now the final question is that motion 9128 in the name of Alison Harris on the final stage of the writers to the Signate Dependence and Unity Fund amendment Scotland bill be agreed. And because this is a final stage, we have to have a division. So members may cast their votes now. And the result of the vote on motion 9128 in the name of Alison Harris is yes, 105 against 0, abstain 0. The motion is therefore agreed and the writers to the Signate Dependence and Unity Fund amendment Scotland bill is passed. That concludes decision time and I'll close this meeting.


Now we look at the potential energy of a spring. Potential energy, again, is energy which has been stored. And more specifically, we're looking at situations here where there's a mechanical force ready to do work. Now, for the case of a spring, if that spring is stretched or compressed, then there's a restoring force, which is ready to move it back to the equilibrium position. So stretching or compressing a spring stores a little bit of energy in that spring. Now if I look at the relationship between potential energy and work, the potential energy stored is equal to the outside mechanical work needed to prepare the system. Now for a spring, that would be looking at what is the external work needed in order to stretch or compress the spring from equilibrium. And from our earlier studies, we show that that was 1 half kx squared. So that means that the potential energy is going to be that same 1 half kx squared. Now looking at this in a little bit more detail, the energy stored in the spring could be written as the potential energy of the spring is 1 half kx squared, where that k is our spring constant. And the x is the distance it's stretched or compressed from equilibrium. And that's true even if the spring is vertically oriented, so that it's actually a y distance. But we're still going to use our symbol x to show the distance from equilibrium. Now occasionally textbooks will use slightly different symbols like e spring instead of this p e sub s. I've also seen ones that use u for the potential energy. And so u s is a spring potential energy. Some textbooks just use u without specifying what type of potential energy it is. So look at a quick example here. If I've got a 500 Newton per meter spring, which is stretched 0.5 meters from equilibrium, what's my potential energy going to be? Well, starting with my equation here, I recognize that this 500 Newton per meter, that's my spring constant, so that's going to go in for k. And the 0.5 meters, that's my distance, so that's going to go in for x. So plugging those numbers in and remembering to square that x value, I'd end up with 62.5 joules. Now just to note here on the units real quick, if I've got a Newton per meter and I multiply it by a meter squared, one of those meters canceled and I'm left with Newton meters, which is equivalent to a joule. So there's your potential energy on a spring.


Welcome to Drinks Made Easy. Today we're taking a look at a fruity lemon drop variation that uses a new vodka from Leaf using Alaskan glacial water. To make your Alaskan sunset, you'll start by taking five raspberries and one small about two inch sprig of rosemary. Give that a good model. Next you'll add one ounce of fresh lemon juice, three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup, two ounces of leaf Alaska glacial water vodka, cap it off into a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. And we're going to double strain this into a coupe. Now as you can see because of the fresh raspberries and the rosemary, you're going to want to double strain this to make sure we don't have any leaves or pulp from the raspberries. Garnish that with a skewer of raspberries and a little sprig of rosemary. And there you have the Alaskan sunset. If you like lemon drops, adding raspberry into it with that touch of rosemary is going to make this just a better drink. There's nothing wrong with lemon drop, but if you've been having for a while and are looking for something with just a little bit more flavor and a great vodka that pairs with it, try the Alaskan sunset. Cheers from Drinks Made Easy.


Technological innovations have created unprecedented opportunities for children to learn, share and communicate. It has helped empower them to assert their rights and express their opinions. Despite the profound benefits of the internet, children and young people can face a number of risks online. When we started this journey 10 years ago, we knew we had to empower our children to serve safe and responsibly. And so we launched Child Online Protection or COP. Thanks to your help and commitment, we are making a difference. We are working with our partners in various regions of the world, especially in developing countries, to raise awareness and to support them in the implementation of COP frameworks, measures and tools. We are promoting collaboration, information sharing and coordinated action. Over these years through our work, the COP guidelines were published. Online safety for children was considered a priority at the World Summit on the Information Society high level plus 10 process. More children were heard by their policy makers. More governments put the issue of protecting children online centre stage. More entities are now active in pushing the topic to the forefront of discussion. More parents and teachers have been trained. More specialised law enforcement centres have been established. More networks have been created and established. Together we are making the difference. Together we are moving towards success. Supporting the establishment of hotlines. Harmonising child helplines numbers. Organising awareness campaigns. Building capacity workshops. These are some of the things we've accomplished so far. Together we have come a long way, thanks to your support. However, much still needs to be done. This is our responsibility and we need to act now. Find out more at ITU.int forward slash COP.
