Here's one of the more fascinating 8-bit games I've ever seen, it's Galgo 13 Top Secret Episode for NES, based off of the Galgo 13 manga, and you play AS Galgo 13, real name Duke Togo, a cold-blooded assassin, kinda like the Japanese James Bond, and he's got a mission to take down the evil Drek Empire. This was developed by Victor Kai, who are also behind outside the box games like Clash at Demonhead, and yeah, this game is just slightly outside the box to put it lightly. It mixes all sorts of gameplay elements and mechanics, and it's got a legitimately interesting story that comes across as, well, adult, for a lack of a better term, but the game is far from perfect, and there are a number of flaws you have to bear with if you want to enjoy this one. So you start the game in an airport talking to a woman, an agent named Maria Lovelet, and right away you can see this game just looks different than anything else on the NES. It's a bit of a Ninja Gaiden vibe, but a hint darker and more sinister.  In addition, the vaccine that would provide immunity against this weapon was stolen, but Maria gives you some information that points you in the right direction to get it back. And that's when the game really starts, and uh, yeah. Here we see the flaws that you'll have to contend with. The side scrolling action here is just awful.  But the worst thing is B is jump and A is attack.  Enemies will shoot at you from across the screen, and your first instinct will be to try and shoot back at them, but you'd be wise to concentrate on dodging first, then shooting, otherwise you'll drop dead before you know it. You can also do a jump kick if that works better for you. Thankfully that's not all the gameplay is here. You talk to people on the street, as well as duck into these doors and random buildings and ask for information, and yeah, some of it is completely useless, it wouldn't be a proper NES game without NPCs giving you useless dialogue, but then all of a sudden you see a gun pop up from the lower right and shoot at you. And just like that, the game changes to a first person gallery shooter. Hey, that's pretty cool. You just clear out the enemies here, then you're back in the side scrolling mode.  I mean, come on, the enemies can do that, why can't I? Eventually you run into Agent Cherry Grace, who tells you that a sniper is stationed at a TV tower, waiting to take out the person you were supposed to meet to get more info. So, she tells you you're better off getting off the ground and into a helicopter, and just like that, suddenly it's a horizontal scrolling shoot-up. I really like how this all comes together so cohesively in the game.  It's well done. Now, the actual gameplay modes are hit or miss. The shoot-em-up level here is okay, it's nothing great, but in a nice touch, you also get the first person gallery shooter stages in this mode too. I was not expecting that the first time I played this, so that was a nice surprise. You arrive at the TV tower, and you get another game mode. You have to snipe the sniper from the helicopter, B to zoom in, and A to fire, and you shoot the guy in the friggin' head with blood and everything. Holy crap, this is an NES game? Unfortunately, what comes next is backtracking all the way back to where you started the game, and yup, the same gallery shooter spots are triggered in the exact same spots, there's no avoiding them. I admit it's one of those things that's cool at first, but it becomes a grind after a while. You eventually meet up with Condor, who's got some info for you, but he gets brutally gunned down, and tells you where to go just as he's dying, and guess what, it's in the other direction. Ugh. But wait a minute, you stop at the hotel here, and you're told you have a message from the agent you met with earlier, Cherry Grace, who invites you up to her room, and uh, yeah, you can fill in the blanks here. Okay, so let's recap what's happened in this game so far.  Bear in mind all of this happens within the first 20 minutes of playing this game. That's frickin' nuts! There are a couple other game modes I should mention that show up later on, and they may be game breakers for some people. The first is the underwater mode, which is just a drag. You move incredibly slowly, you take damage from these mine things which are everywhere, and the gallery shooter stages here are really a pain, because your crosshair moves really slowly.  Okay, the first one's not so bad, but as you progress through the game, they are a huge pain to deal with, mostly because of these trapped doors that pop up beneath you. Ah! It's really easy to get lost since these mazes are huge and have multiple floors, so it's either take a visit to Game Facts or just draw your own map. I should also mention quickly that throughout the game there's no items in the way of power-ups or health replenishments, you only get life back and extra ammo by defeating enemies. You also have unlimited continues to get through this one, and thankfully the game is reasonably kind with checkpoints, although some will set you way back unfortunately. No saves or passwords here however, and this is a long game. Well, long for NES, it could take you something like 3 or 4 hours to get through. So yeah, Golgo 13 Top Secret Episode is a fascinating game. Yeah, the side-scrolling levels are a pain, the backtracking is annoying, and the underwater levels and mazes are really a downer, but this game still manages to have a lot going for it. The way the story is told and the way the game modes are all linked together organically is really well done. The atmosphere and presentation is impressive for an NES title, the music fits the game perfectly, and the fact that this is such a mature game back when the NES landscape was ruled mostly by happy, bouncy, harmless cartoonish stuff really makes this game stand out as something unique. And hey, if you like this game, there's a sequel on the NES titled The Mafat Conspiracy, made by the same developer and with the same type of presentation with all sorts of game modes. But yeah, if you can stomach this game's flaws, Golgo 13 Top Secret Mission is well worth checking out. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!


So you're promising well over 200,000 jobs, eh? Oh, look, you can't put a figure on it. Yeah, look, those details go to an expert panel. How many people will be exempt from it? Yeah, look, no, I can't give you the figure on that. They're forecasts and they're subject to change. There's 70 different figures there, Duncan, and I'm sure you wouldn't remember them off by heart as well. That's why we don't need to know the specific figure on that. Well, do you know in the first year what it raises? Yeah, I've got it right here, I think. No, no, without looking, do you know without looking? No, I'll give you the figures. I don't think power prices are going to go down. I think it's about 2016, 17. Again, I don't carry all those figures in my head. Well, it's 2018, 19. It's a long way off. It is. You go through that in the budget process. Well, it starts with, you know, 20, 50 million or whatever. Do you trust him? Oh, we worked with him reasonably well in the past. Do you trust him? I've said what I've said. Do you trust him? I've said he kept to his word in the last term in government. I put it to you, if you trust someone, then you should be able to say that. Well, no, no.


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Actually, good morning. It's only 10.15. But it feels like the afternoon. Why? Because my day is done. So let's go over the QQQs. Hmm. Looks higher to me. No surprise here. Very strong in fact. I didn't even think we'd ride as much today, but it does appear we are. Let's just look at the level here. So the target today is a BB target. 108.70-ish. Where do I think we'll blow? 110. 110 is the area that I think we could blow over aggressively and carry through and make a new high. We will make a new high in the QQQs before the end of the calendar year that is so far away. I have a million trading days between now and December 31. So this is really, it's actually interesting. Now that, hold on. I'm actually just realizing something here as I'm talking to you right now. I think we're even going to make an all-time high before the end of the year now. And I really wasn't thinking that then because we've taken so long to make the move this year. Like I knew we'd make a new high this year for the year, but now I'm seeing the timing of this. If we actually rally in October and do it and do what we need to do, if we actually get over 114, 115, if we are actually able to do that in the next two weeks, which we actually could, the market can make an all-time high in the QQQs by the end of the calendar year this year, which I thought we do initially last year at the end of the year and then the beginning of this year at the beginning of the year. And then we've taken so long this year and had the anomaly day, which happened August 24th. And I knew we'd make a new high, meaning go over the 114 area, but now, now that I'm seeing it, because remember the resistance. Let's just go back to resistance. The resistance was this because I found it, 114.39. I'll go back because I had found it before. When we talked about it, we could just blow right over that. Oh my goodness, so we could still really actually do that. Again, it has to do with the timing and it's challenging to actually pinpoint the exact time of things. Although everything that I said is going to happen is absolutely going to happen. It's just the timing of it. That's why I really love to just day trade. And that's why I love to trade stocks like just the stock. Because if you're doing options and things, what you can do using my system with gaps, you got to get the timing right. The beautiful thing, the most fabulous thing, the freewheeling thing about day trading is you don't have to be right with the timing in the long term. It's just the timing within minutes and seconds, which is so much easier to make money. A lot of people find it more difficult, but actually if you think about it, it's not. It's actually easier. What we do is so much more easier than anything that exists. If you know how to do it, just as many people don't, but I do luckily. Anyways, here's the area. Look at this. So we are going to do it. This is crazy. I didn't even see this till now because I haven't looked at it in so long. One twenty fifty. So if we continue and do everything we're supposed to do, we'll still make an all-time high in the QQQs before the end of the calendar year this year.  And the reason is because once we get over that number, we've got nowhere to go but higher. 110 is the resistance of the next level. We're almost there. We're a dollar something away. The QQs have been holding so strong. It will pull and lift the spine, which had already made an all-time high. The QQs have been lagging, but not anymore. Now they're the leader here of whatever is happening. Why? It doesn't matter. But we've had a straight rally for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Fourteen days in a row, the market has done nothing but rally. What does that tell you? It tells you that we're not dropping. And I said it before, and I'll say it again, if we wanted to fall off a planet, we would have done it the day of the anomaly. The day the market gapped down and opened and stock swushed and reversed and negated the swush, we...that was it. And if you didn't understand any of what that meant, which you wouldn't have unless you took my class, you wouldn't know that that was very significant. And that's how I'm able to call all this and this and this and the other thing too. But I just saw this now that we're actually going to still do it this year which even I wasn't sure if we'd make it over the number by the end of the calendar year, but it does appear we're going to. So I said earlier today we're going to be very, very conscious of our exits in every short we do and that's just the way it's going to be from now on. So if you'd like more information, email me at melissathes stocks swushed.com. This is their QQQ review. Have a great day, everyone.


The administration got some blowback for claiming Hurricane Ian actually identifies as a typhoon. The administration pushed back against the blowback. Looks like we're experiencing some blowback from the wig offensive. It's time to hit him where he lives. His house? Bingo. Which doesn't usually work too well. Blowback being wind, wind being difficult to push. This is working! That means we gotta move to step three. I'm gonna push you underwater with my jowls. Don't scream. What? But in any case, they stated, if Ian as a typhoon wants to open the door to the western hemisphere to take a piss, who are we to question it? Who are we? Reporters responded, but Hurricane Ian's potentially endangering the lives of the other people in the western hemisphere room. And then the administration got very stern. This is the last time we will tolerate this misstorming. This will not stand! Hurricane, bring me the clock of Fender Rodriguez. The storm absolutely will not endanger anybody in the hurricane room because it identifies as a typhoon. Are you sure this is safe? Sure, I got my seatbelt on. It's like, wait a second. That doesn't even make sense. If that were the case, why would we let the typhoon into the hurricane room in the first place? But anyways, like hold on a second. I thought typhoons spun counterclockwise when taking a piss. And that storm was clearly spinning clockwise, making it a hurricane, not a typhoon. The administration was outraged.     Throw that pervert in jail. And it's like, but wait a second. It's only natural to find the source of the water drenching your head, isn't it? I'm just telling the truth. The administration responds, yeah, well truth hurts. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Habsburg? Oh sure, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a seat missing, but it hurts. Or put more precisely, truth will get you hurt. Crap man, look at that. So just don't do it.


Therefore, it is time for statements by members, the member from Carlton, Mississippi Mills. Mr. Speaker, I would like to do a statement in remembrance of Egbert Ritzma. Egbert Ritzma died on February 11th. Burt lived in Fitzroy Harbor with his wife Patricia, where they raised their children, Trisha and Greg. They also have seven grandchildren who they are very proud of. Egbert worked for Ontario Hydro for over 20 years and was a leader in his community, starting in his teenage years. He was a Boy Scout leader, president of the Community Association, and a sports coach, organizer, and referee. He was captain of the Fitzroy Township Volunteer Fire Department. Egbert enjoyed politics. He was a counsellor in the Township of West Carlton for 20 years and was an active member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. In recognition of his many years of hard work and volunteerism, he received numerous awards including the Queen's Jubilee Medal, Her Majesty's Commemorative Medal for Canada's 125th anniversary of Confederation, and was West Carlton's citizen of the year in 1986. Burt's family immigrated to Canada from Holland in 1950 when he was a young boy. Patricia told me that Burt believed that he had an obligation to give back to his country because Canada had given his family the opportunity to prosper. Burt Ritzema was a great Canadian. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Timmis James Bay. Well, I've got to ask the question, how much longer is the Government of Ontario going to allow consumers across Ontario to be ripped off of the pumps? We have seen the price of oil and the barrel drop from over $100 down to $30 and less a barrel, and we're still paying in some cases as much as a dollar a leader. There is no connection between the price of the pump to the price of the barrel, but it doesn't stop there. If you take a look at the price of gas per leader across this province, the differential in gas is anywhere from about 15 to 20 cents. I looked this morning just to double check a few communities, and this is what I saw. If you look at the City of Toronto, 80.9 cents per leader. But if you look at the City of Ottawa, 87 cents a leader. Are you going to tell me it costs $0.07 a leader to move gas, Mr. Speaker, across through Toronto to Ottawa? Well, how would you explain then that the price of gas in Timmins is $0.95.9 a leader, and the price of gas in Canora is $0.83? There's no correlation. It's clearly the gas companies are gouging the public, taking advantage of the consumer, and we as a legislature in the Government of Ontario have the ability to regulate them so that the price of gas in this province be regulated across the system so that people, no matter where you live, Canora, Cornwall, Timmins or Toronto, the price of gas should be somewhat similar and not 15 and 20 cents a leader difference. Thank you. For the members of the statements, the members from Burlington. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm delighted to rise in the House today to recognize NEXUS Synchronized Skating, an organization based out of the Burlington Skating Club in my riding. The six teams ranging from beginner to seniors, skaters of all ages, train with NEXUS to compete at competitions from the regional to international level. Recently, I had the privilege of having an intermediate team perform at my second annual Family Day Fun Skate. There's nothing quite like watching this talented team of 16 young women elegantly glide across the ice in perfect unison. Coached by Jennifer Beauchamp Creighton, the team performed to a swing theme, captivating the audience and setting the tone for what was a great afternoon on the ice. Just weeks later, the same team, along with the NEXUS Senior Team, competed at the 2016 Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Championships in Waterloo last month. This competition brought together 40 teams and over 800 skaters from across Canada. As the nine-time national champions and reigning world champions, the NEXUS Senior Team came in second place after a great free-program performance to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. The intermediate team placed second in their division as well. I'd like to congratulate both of them for their efforts at the Skate Canada Championships, and as the senior team moves on to defend their world title, I'd like to ask my colleagues to join me in wishing them all the best as they prepare for the International Skating Union World Synchronized Skating Championships in Budapest, Hungary this April. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to bring awareness to a rare disease that impacts constituents in my riding of York-Simcoe, complex regional pain syndrome. Today we are joined by some constituents from in and around my riding who suffer from this syndrome. Deborah Burton, Gidget Hebert, and Janice Muccio. We are also joined by Deborah's husband Ralph Hollander.  Most often affects one of the limbs, usually after an injury or trauma to that area. CRPS is believed to be caused by damage or malfunction of the nervous systems. The texture of the skin may change, sweat patterns may be impacted, and hair and nail growth patterns may be altered. The joints may be stiff, muscle movement may increase, the limb may tremor. Described as an invisible pain, it has been described as a burning sensation that can have a physiological and psychological impact on those suffering with the disease. One can get CRPS, men, women, and of all ages, however it is most common among middle-aged women. All too often those with rare diseases get left behind in our healthcare system. An estimated one in 12 Canadians are impacted by a rare disease, either as a parent, family member, caregiver, or friend. Defined as a disease impacting fewer than 1 in 2,000 people, it is time for a strategy. Today we will be voting on my colleague Michael Harris' private member's bill, which is dedicated to treating rare disease. I am looking forward to voting in support of his motion, and I hope that my colleagues in all caucuses will do the same. Thank you. Thank you. For the member status, the member from Oshawa. Thank you, Speaker. What do more than 80% of Ontarians, nearly 200 municipalities, all eight independent officers of the legislature, and business leaders across the province, have in common? They all oppose this government, short-sighted sell-off of Hydro One. And it's something I've heard across my community, Mr. Speaker, from doorsteps to town halls. Ontarians are sending the message loud and clear that they don't want the Premier to sell Hydro One, but she isn't listening. Fortunately, Mr. Speaker, people in Oshawa don't give up that easily. I hold in my hand here 70 letters that I've received from people in Oshawa and the Durham region, and they're calling on the Premier to stop the sale of Hydro One. They all share the same message. I did not give you permission to sell Hydro One or any other public utility or publicly owned asset on my behalf. Let's not forget, Speaker, what public means. The Premier has taken it to mean government property for her to do with as she pleases, but I have 70 letters here that disagree, and there are thousands more across the province that are fighting tooth and nail as well. It's an important message, Speaker, one that the Premier should hear. And since these letters are addressed to the Premier, I will ask that a page please put these 70 letters on her desk because I want to make sure that she receives them. The people of Ontario have spoken, Speaker, the people of Oshawa have spoken. Let's hope that the Premier decides to listen. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you, Speaker. This past Friday, I had the opportunity to join business leaders from West Northumberland, the Business Achievement Awards in Coburg. These awards are presented in partnership with the Town of Coburg and the Northumberland Central Chamber of Commerce. They recognize local businesses in Coburg, Hamilton Township, and Alderman Township who are leaders in their fields in exemplified business excellence. This year awards winner, and I want to congratulate them, are United Way Northumberland for the non-profit sector, Curves Coburg for health and wellness, Boston Pizza for hospitality and tourism, Verrents Conveying Products for manufacturing, Barrett's Christmas Tree farm for retail, Lickland Multi-Trade for skills trades, Keep on rolling professional painting services for a new start-up, Watershed Magazine for communication and technology, Mayhew Graphics for Business and Consumer Services, Joan Chalovich received the James Cross Life Achievement Award, Chris Pelche received the Chamber Chairs Award, and Kim Echo received the prestigious Mayors Award. Mr. Speaker, small and medium businesses are the backbone of economic growth in our province. They are the ones that provide jobs for Ontarians and help build strong vibrant communities. I'm delighted we're investing $2.7 million in Job and Prosperity Fund and continue the Eastern Ontario Development Fund. I'm very excited about these people and want to congratulate them all. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. For their member's statements, the member from Foreign Hill. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would like to speak a little bit about the international conference that happened last week. It was the Women's Parliamentarian Network. This was a meeting involving the Assembly for Francophony. I was at Tangier-Moroc with two of my colleagues, Sophie Quewala, Liberal MP, and Franz Jelina. We were with John Anderson, who is the Protocol Director. I made a presentation on literacy amongst women, so it was mostly immigrants who are in need of aid here in the Assembly. We discussed strategies in order to provide higher quality of life for women, including education, the eradication of poverty, marriage among young girls. I would like to congratulate Sonia Caradana and these are friends from my region. The President of the Jewish-Morocan Association. We visited several synagogues, as well as a cemetery. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak about the iconic Polish-Canadian artist Tamara Jaworska, who died in her 97th year on October 29, 2015. Mrs. Jaworska was a contemporary tapestry weaver who was recognized by her peers as being a virtuoso and technique and style of modern tapestry. In the late 1940s, Mrs. Jaworska studied painting and design at the Polish State Academy of Fine Art in Łódź, and she was awarded a master's degree and then went on to teach at that school for many years. In 1969, Mrs. Jaworska and her husband Tad Jaworski, a noted filmmaker, immigrated to Toronto to escape censorship and repression by the Communist regime in Poland. As a new Canadian, she found inspiration in Canadian nature and Canadian landscape and created abstract and realistic compositions. One of her most notable works, called Unity of Canada Tapestry, was hung in the Place Belle Canada lobby in Ottawa. Her artistic legacy has been displayed in museums, Canadian embassies, galleries, and private collections in Canada and across the world. Mrs. Jaworska was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, a prestigious opponent to the Sense Nationale de Tapisserie de Busson in Paris, and she is a member of the Order of Canada. She was described as one of Canada's proudest cultural treasures. We mourn her loss, but celebrate her artistic legacy. Thank you. Thank you. For the member's statements, the member from Beaches East York. Well, thank you, Speaker. Last month I had the pleasure to join Mary Margaret McMahon, the local councillor, the Danforth East Community Association, and the organizers of East Toronto Families for Syria for the grand opening of a refugee hub in Beaches East York. The hub is a very special place located just two doors down from my constituency office on Danforth Avenue, and there Syrian refugees come to the hub to find free household items, clothing, school supplies, and other necessities that make settling here in Canada that much easier. And the hub is staffed and supplied entirely by local volunteers, many of whom are local members and families, and every item in the store is either donated or purchased with donated funds. For the past few weeks they have provided household essentials, including small appliances and food, to over 230 local refugee families. The organization and the efficiency of East Toronto families of Syria would make an excellent model for other communities to emulate. Not only do they coordinate donations, they have connected newcomers with services that will help them find jobs, education, resources in our community. So Speaker, the generosity of my constituents and indeed all the people across the province has been remarkable. And the compassion they have shown to us, to so many strangers, should be commended. These centres only open on a part-time basis and so my office has become a place where the people can bring donations and when they do open up they come by and they pick it up so they can distribute it. So what I would encourage Speaker, that all members of this house go to the Facebook check out East Toronto families for Syria so they can get a better sense of this wonderful work that they're doing in my community. Thank you. Thank all members for their statements. It's now time for a report.


Have you experienced getting opaque access tokens and thought, why is my access token not a JWT? We're answering frequently asked questions from the Octa Customer Identity Cloud community. In this video, I'll be showing you how to get a JWT access token. Before we can continue, you will need to know how to make an authorized request. Here's a quick reminder of what an authorized request looks like. Now, let me explain that getting a JWT access token is dependent on the audience parameter and the authorized request. In other words, the audience parameter controls whether the access token is an opaque or JWT format on generation. Let's take a look at this documentation on getting access tokens. We can see that omitting the audience parameter causes opaque access tokens and passing an audience parameter where the requested audience points to your management API or your custom API will generate JWT access tokens. Let's see this in an example. I'll first demonstrate the authorization code flow without the audience parameter. Here, when I try to decode the access token, I am not able to. Because it is not in a JWT format, I also get a warning that says it looks like your JWT payload is not a valid JSON object. Now, let's take a look at the login request again while also passing the audience parameter. Here, when I decode the access token, it decodes properly with the payload, data and signature with the correct information. To summarize, we looked at the importance of the audience parameter when requesting an access token and how we must include it to get a JWT access token.

Did it I did it Joe. I was really at Publix earlier and I was looking for candy for when DK Metcalf becomes a Raven Enough is enough first question came from my guy Terry He said what's up in Graven. Hope you and the fam are doing great. Well. Yes, we are we are we're actually doing Stupendous shout out to my guy Barney. He said I wanted to ask you what moves offensively Do you want to see the Ravens make you want to ask me about off? Really? You sure? I don't have any way Y'all already know I'm all for getting a young Up-and-coming proven talent at the wide receiver position Somebody who's a game changer somebody who's a difference maker to add to the difference makers that we have Already and just to make the Ravens that much more hard to defend remember Indefensible offense. I didn't come up with that somebody else did though, but anyway, he said I don't know why Ravens fans Are held to the standard that Lamar has enough weapons in Hollywood Bateman and Big Money Mark Brady had Mike Evans Godwin and Gronkin still got a B Rams already had Cooper Cup Higby Van Jefferson and still went and got Alan Robinson I guarantee you the charges go get a wide receiver in the trap because they're taking advantage of Herbert's rookie deal and Want to be successful and after this morning the bill signing digs and the Bobby Wagner signing with the Rams Edie should EDC should know the cap is cap Like that one. He said what that's still being guys in free agency Who do you want the Ravens to get and select in the draft? I say we go James Cook Down me Davin's younger brother in round four or five to help the run game and go pick ins in rounds two or three See a lot of these top wide receivers Burks cuz y'all y'all know I straight on Burks. Okay, cool George pick is a no problem with that. I would not be mad with that at all either Ravens got a lot of options at wide receiver And before we keep well, let me keep going first He also said help you in the fam are doing good. Stay safe and trust and he said ps since 2018 Every past Super Bowl winner had either five to six mil in positive cap space or negative one to five mil in cap All right. Appreciate that little tidbit. So If the Ravens This what I would want the Ravens to do my first hope would be that they would trade for somebody That's again DK Metcalf would be the one on my list now up-and-coming guy If they didn't do that then what I would want them to do Would be to drag cuz y'all know I've been saying they're gonna draft receiving the first three rounds Now if they traded for a wide receiver a high quality wide receiver Then okay, then that would erase that But if they don't then yeah, it's receiving the first three rounds for sure. No questions asked On a side note, I am very glad that the Texans they re-signed Brandon cooks to a two-year deal Because I heard some talk about him and I was thinking now Nope, nope, nope. He's nice good receiver productive receiver They're the same with the Saints the Patriots the Texans and whoever else he played for but We got enough like smaller stature receivers. We need to go get a big guy and that guy so anyway, uh if they Draft the receiving the first three rounds. I would still want them to go sign a veteran wide receiver and A guy who I would really like if they said that they signed even even with them drafting a guy would be Julio Jones and The reason I say that is this Because if they draft a wide receiver and I would expect that wide receiver to have a bigger frame six two six three and Be able to go up and get it aggressive. You talking about George Pickens. Yeah, like we always say on here The market speed is on offense. Great. I would love that But then Keep at it at another one stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready, right? Hey, that that's what my motto is and With a Julio Jones, I know some people gonna say oh man Julio Jones. He's washed his injury prone for what? What would be the reason? Stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready He wouldn't have to come over here and be a starter He wouldn't have to come over here and do what Sammy Watkins did last year for those five or six games Julio would be extra ammo in the arsenal extra ammo in the arsenal and Just in case somebody tired just in case somebody gets hurt Just in case somebody ain't ready then the Ravens would have already stayed ready And you ain't got to go out go all crazy looking for replacements and whatnot because you got somebody sitting right there on the bench That's a Hall of Famer I You too team keep it clean what's going on welcome to another episode of NFL questions from subs Well, you can ask any NFL question and we answered in a video like this now If you want to be part of me you can send me an email team keep it clean a gmail.com For the patrons y'all don't have to go through all that y'all can send it directly on Patreon if you want to become a team keep it clean patron. I appreciate y'all by the way Thank you for being a living to do that. You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids, and if you don't want to This is completely fine. I love y'all. It's been a little while since we've been able to do questions from subs But hey, we here now. So let's get it Next question came from my guy gold morano and he said creating a division winning offense How's it going in Raven? Thank you for the Lamar recruiting news for one DK Metcalf If someone can convince EDC to trade for Metcalf I promise to stop crying whining and begging for him to draft Drake London with the 14th pick Another option right there. So again Raven's gonna have their options that hit his name had completely slipped my mind earlier When we were talking about the receiver. So that's another one Anyway, he said although I'd much rather he trade for Metcalf and and Like him. He said although I much rather he trade for Metcalf and draft London So see I'm not the only one trying to double dip my guy gold morano. He gets it, too But anyway, I actually like his idea better than mine Because anyway, let's keep going. He said you have said on more than one occasion invest heavily in your quarterback Invest heavily in your quarterback. Yes, I have said it don't invest Skinnerly invest Engravenly in your quarterback heavily in your quarterback Anyway, all the top teams continue to improve the receiving course for the sake of their quarterbacks It's high time the Ravens make a substantial investment in Lamar and yes This conversation we shouldn't even be having this conversation. We shouldn't still be having this conversation In the Jackson's fifth year is kind of sad and in Lamar Jackson's fourth year started Because again this first year he ain't start till the middle of the season It ain't like they can go crazy and free agency in the middle of the season. Oh, so We shouldn't be having this conversation in his fourth year started. But anyway, he said question We know that Metcalf would not come cheap I would guess that he would be listed at a cost of at least three draft picks I'm estimating a first round in 2022 third round in 2022 in a second round in 2023 and Tyler Wallace of Devon Duvenay. What say you see I've been seeing this a lot to where I a lot of people feel like with DK Metcalf is gonna take more than draft pick that it's gonna take players as well I keep hearing that a lot. So maybe y'all might be on or something He said what would EDC have to come come up off of in order to get DK Metcalf To report to the cast of this summer. Hmm something that he's never given up before and the reason I say that is because We hear about EDC's aggressiveness We we hear about a lot of almost things that happened And we appreciate the effort and the effort is great But then when you think And you just think about the Ravens in general as a whole They are very reluctant to give up those draft picks Especially Significant draft picks first round. Have they ever traded a first round for a player before? At the top of my head. I will want I want to say no, I can't think of anything But they hasn't to give up those significant draft picks first round second round third round But yeah, they usually hasn't been with those Just all it just always comes to my mind when it comes to giving up draft picks When they could have got Jarvis Landry, but I don't know then they could have got Really the biggest one for me more recently Well, not more recently, but Jalen Ramsey that was when we all heard that story how they didn't want to give up I think it was a third round pick They were willing to give up a first and a fourth but not a first and a third to move up in the first round I get Jalen like oh man like He was worth it and more He was worth so much more than that and it's like people knew how nice he was coming out of college and That this dude like he was gonna be like that and he came out of college and he was like that So guys who you just know are going to be like and your defensive team on top of that So it's like that's the extra bonus if he was a wide receiver something then he was a quarterback He was a runner if he was offensive player and Ravens they want to move up for him I would understand because Ravens they not used to guys who are like that on offense like that And that that hasn't been them, but it's it was a defensive player and you weren't willing to get that up Oh man, so a DK Metcalfe man Well, they had to come up off off to get him. Oh, just some way out of the ordinary first round pick I think if it's I think if if the trade what he gets traded for would be a Multiple picks in the first two rounds. I think that that would shut the Ravens out. I don't think they would do it Don't think they don't think they would do it if it was like I say if it was picks in the The first two rounds the first and second round I don't think they would do it if it was either or and even then some on top of that Like if it was a first and a third and later or a second and a third or a second and whatever later I think they do it, but a first and a second I just don't see them doing it and it's funny my guy G star He asked a similar question to he said a engraving hope everything was well with the family much love for what you do and appreciate you I appreciate you to G. He said my question is would you be for or against the Ravens using their first round pick and Another lower-round pick to acquire DK Metcalfe Please explain your pros and cons of doing so or not. Thank you again engraving either way I'm excited for the upcoming season in your awesome coverage. Appreciate it about awesome But we do have a good time on here. So I appreciate you being a part of What would I be willing to give up for one DK Metcalfe? Yeah, I would be me personally. I'll definitely be given willing to give up a first round pick for sure and Change So if it was a first and a second, okay, cool I'm cool with it Man, I know a lot of y'all probably looking at me like I'm crazy right now But some of y'all like yeah, yeah, yeah, I would give up even more and no problem I would be willing to do it because You you know what you're getting you know who you're getting I See people. So oh, yeah, he got inconsistent hands.  All right DK. Hey, that's fine We got Hollywood We got Rashad Bateman. We got Mark Andrews. They got your back. Hopefully you can recover during this game But worst-case scenario you don't we have other guys too and remember on my bench We still got Julio Jones too But anyway that so that stuff doesn't worry me I'm more enticed by the playmaking ability. I'm more enticed by the physicality I'm more enticed because the positives are gonna outweigh the negatives by far By far and it's not even close for me So I'm willing to make the move. I'm willing to give up multiple draft picks if players have to be in there too That's a painful part right there But what's got to be done has got to be done Ravens need to take this offense to another level they need to so If you really want to do that you going to find a way to get this thing done Whether it's DK Metcalfe or just bringing in somebody else of some serious significance serious significance And and not stopping there and get greedy with it next question came from jay. He said what's up in graven It's my first time doing question from suz But I like to know what is your thoughts with raven just not being aggressive on offense at all in free agency Year after year after year just never aggressive our main players on offense Or literally all drafted players as the following Lamar Jackson jk dobbins hollywood rishabh bateman mark andrews nick boy or Ronnie stanley devindu when they james pro-shame Don't get me wrong These players are good But even other players like ben cleveland and justice hill were drafted shoot even gusts ewers Was just an undrafted rookie free agent I name all these players and none are big name signings from free agency Sure, you can say we added players like morgan moses and kevin zeitler But not game changing players like how other offenses have Stefan digs on the bills. Well, that was a trade. That wasn't free agency. Deandre hopkins on the cardinals. Well, that was a trade That wasn't free agency Devonte adams on the raiders. That was a trade. That wasn't free agency, too But um, I do see what you're saying. He also said old dale beckham jr to the rams now that Was free agency even though it was in the middle of the season once free agency starts it never stops um He said all we have done on offense was signed Willie sneeds seth robert sammy walkins. There's brian These past couple of years and by default we got murray and freeman because our backs were injured I mean, we had miles boykin and willy sneed alongside hollywood as our top three wide wide outs in 2019 on our 14 and two run while Other top young quarterbacks at the time had wide outs such as Watson and de hop myhomes and tyreek baker and old dale Very frustrating that we have a generational talent quarterback and all we have to show for is I don't like this line, but i'm only saying it because you put it in here Uh, he said very frustrating that we have a generational talent quarterback And all we have to show for is miles boykin running into willy sneed on crossing routes Hopefully rachelle babin and hollywood take us over the top. May god help us all um So just a lack of aggression by the ravens on offense uh ravens on offense ravens to me they they seem like they are a Uh potential based offense And what I mean when I say that is the ravens ravens are very really on offense just period not even just Doing a regular season, but during the off season too ravens are very potential based And what I mean when I say that is that they with potential you hope something happens But you just don't know for sure that it will As far as free agency trades early in the off season Ravens they are very quiet around this time of year with stuff like that Um, so what has been going on or really what hasn't been going on? It has been no surprise uh to anybody um, but You what ravens and and and ravens front office has trained you to think and and trained you to follow is that They are going to be some potential cap cuts That the ravens could scav scav scavage through and bring somebody in that can be a difference maker on this team Um, and they do do that. They they do sign cap cuts. They wait They wait they wait and some guys get cut usually after june 1st Then the ravens they pounce they say one man's trash is another man's treasure um, and sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't but more so on offense on offense, uh, yeah, it's It's been rough so You get what you pay for um, and my thing like I know whenever we talk about the offense a lot of people say, hey Well, look at 2019 even look at 2018 2020 we we led the league in a I think point differential from 2019 2020 Uh, and then of course 2021 we all offense was doing good and everybody got hurt See but my thing is that yeah the ravens regular season They do that thing They do that thing But when it counts the most The only guys that have been showing up to play consistently in the playoffs Have been Lamar Jackson and hollywood brown and just taking Lamar Jackson now because even that bills game It was a little shaky for him. Um, but hollywood hollywood has been the biggest consistent at y receiver for the ravens in the playoffs There has been nothing else from anybody else And this is why I say to add more This is the biggest reason why I say to add more add better add quality Because regular season ravens do enough to get by They do enough to get by sometimes they make it pretty sometimes it's ugly But they always do enough to get by well when Lamar Jackson's up When he's not oh yikes But In the playoffs You need that's when your biggest playmakers they come through Your biggest playmakers come through Look at joe burrow with jamar chase And then he had his other options too Look at patrick mohones with tyreek hill and then he had his other options too Look at josh allen with stefan digs and there was the game. Wasn't it the chief's game? Was that the game where gave davis had like four touchdowns? So when you have quality options, they come through They come through So many people are so fixated on the regular season the regular season alone And and and I can understand that but i'm thinking past that I'm thinking past that so many people feel like oh, yeah ravens have been contenders for the longest Have they In the regular season. Oh, yeah And and I think everybody has a different Opinion on what a contender really is and that's fine. That's fine What I feel like a contender is may not be what you feel like a contender is and that's 2000 fine But I to me a contender Is not just somebody that shows up in the regular season but somebody that shows up in the playoffs too now Losses matter, but not not only the losses matter, but the way that you lose that matters Safe instance if the ravens they were getting in the playoffs and oh, it was these close battles these back and forth Oh, but ravens just keep losing all man. They lost by two all man. They lost by six all man They lost by three all man. They lost by one That's one thing But they don't score points in the playoffs They don't they do not score points in the playoffs That Regular season offense in the playoffs usually it vanishes Even in that titans game That offense they struggled they struggled in that one So You need more play making options You need more That's why I keep being such a big advocate for the ravens to get More now let's flip it to the defense for a little bit because y'all know we could talk about that offense all day Next question came from my guy bullet eightrex. He said do you think the ravens will sign to shon elliot? No, I don't I think um He'd be sort of like a backup A backup option like we'll hit him up just in case Maybe if somebody went down or somebody got hurt or something But I don't think he would be a priority to the ravens at all He said really loved him as a player and would love to keep him on the ravens But with the signing of williams it seems unlikely Do you see any scenario where the ravens keep elliot around? Yeah, not right now and let's let's keep it on the defense for a little bit now Mars had a question. Mars said worries about the interior defensive line. Hey engraving. Hope your day is going well Oh, it's going really good. I have some concerns about our one under discussed position That being the interior defensive line namely defensive tackle. I don't see many fans addressing Excuse me how weak the defensive line is as a whole with a lot of people hyper fixating on edge and not understanding How shallow defensive tackle right now is for the ravens Right now defensive tackles michael pierce. Obviously, uh, mattabique so Right now as it stands, we know stuff is going to change They could sign some new people. They could sign some old people They could draft some people but as of right now, it's michael pierce Mattabique with an increased roll broderick washington with an increased roll Derrick wolf, um Who am I missing? Uh, I think that's it. Uh, he said brandon williams is a free agent as his clay is camber. We lost jelly Yep, he went to the giants and mattabique fits in better as a defensive end in my opinion That leaves us with michael pierce and dale and mac. Whoa Oh, hey, you got to update your roster mad and my friend dale and mac has been long gone from the ravens long Going mac truck. He pulled out the driveway a long time ago. Um he said given that defensive tackles are rarely Every down players and how long has it been since we've had a quality defensive tackle He said big baby's been playing like a small child the last two seasons.  So that would actually be an improvement So see you thought you're distant, but you actually gave him some praise He said I wonder if you think similarly that the fan base is so hyper fixated on getting sacks from edge defenders That they aren't worrying about getting guys to create the interior pressure. Um, no Because I've been hearing a lot about a lot about both We've been talking about the interior pressure on here for a while now too Uh and because that would help the exterior pressure as well, but exterior pressure is it's empty out there too Justin houston here going ties bowser. He's hurt pernil mcfee. He's going So it's like dale and haze. He's big. He'll be coming back from injury. Not fair way He'll be coming back from an injury, but I mean his injury wasn't nothing crazy, but still so You you need both basically you you need both Um, he said to me if jordan davis is available at 14 you take him You can trade up for a job boy at the end of the first if you really want proven edge talent See, yeah, that's a tricky one right there with a job. Oh, this depends on how that recovery will go Uh, he'll be healed by the time he's needed even if that isn't by week one Then you can sign melvin ingram or just in houston or Jadavian clowny. Y'all know that's my guy uh to feeling across from away and be just fine.  Not many free agents at the position are too appealing and though I love for us to sign Ogan joby he recently failed the physical for the bears. Did the bingos bring him back yet? I thought they did but maybe they didn't I don't even remember what happened with him It goes he what he told like his achillesia. He had some injury that took him out too But anyway, um, so I guess that would what would be your preferred plan to address the needs of defensive tackle And edge. Well, we just talked about edge with clowny. Um, but defensive tackle. Yeah, uh, what are the options? Adamic ensue. He's still out there. Um Maybe uh, with matter be gay, but again, you got to stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready But still with matter be gay, maybe him in an increased role with michael pierce alongside him Maybe that that could be the answer that we've been looking for as far as interior pressure Him and he will be in his third year Um, and he's shown flashes, but he just hasn't been able to really be out there consistently like that So matter be gay could be it. Yeah, if jordan davis if they drafted him, I wouldn't be mad at that at all Um, so that would add more quality depth. Um, but May Maybe they give him a chance broader watching to he wasn't too bad either. Um, But maybe matter be gay. This could be that opportunity that they've been waiting on And sometimes that's why we say you got to stay ready. So you you ain't got to get ready because when your time comes You got to show out


Hi, and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. The question says, proof that the ratio of the areas of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares on their corresponding sites. Use the above theorem to solve the following. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF such that area of triangle ABC is 9 centimeters square and the area of triangle DEF is 16 centimeters square and we see is equal to 2.1 centimeters find the length of DEF. It's now beginning with the solution. We are given triangle ABC and triangle DEF such that triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF We have to prove that area of triangle ABC divided by area of triangle DEF is equal to AB square by DE square is equal to BC square by EF square is equal to CA square by DF square So these are the two triangles given to us and we have to prove that area of triangle ABC divided by area of triangle DEF is equal to AB square by DE square is equal to BC square by EF square is equal to CA square by EF square. Now in construction we will draw AD perpendicular to BC and DG perpendicular to EF. Area of triangle ABC is equal to half base that is BC into height that is AD divided by area of triangle DEF is equal to half DEF into DG. So this is equal to BC by EF into AD by DG. Now in triangle ADB and triangle DGE Angle B is equal to angle E because triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF also angle ADB is equal to angle DGE because they both are equal to 90 degree. Therefore triangle ADB is similar to triangle BGE. This implies AD by DG is equal to AB by BGE. These two triangles are similar by AA similarity. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. Therefore AB by DE is equal to BC by EF. Let us name this as one and this as two. Now from one and two we can conclude that AB by DG is equal to BC by EF. Now area of triangle ABC divided of area of triangle DEF is equal to one by two into BC into AD divided by into EF into DG. Now substitute BC by EF in place of AD by DG. So we get BC square by EF square as triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. Therefore AB by DE is equal to BC by EF is equal to AC by BF. And hence area of triangle ABC divided by area of triangle PQR is equal to AB square by DE square is equal to BC square by EF square is equal to TF square by AC square. Now we will find the length of EF. We are given that area of triangle ABC is equal to nine centimeter square area of triangle DEF is equal to 16 centimeter square BC is equal to 2.1 centimeters. Now area of triangle ABC divided by area of triangle DEF is equal to BC square by EF square. Area of triangle ABC is 9 centimeters square area of triangle DEF is 60. BC square is 4.41 and we have to find EF square. Now this implies EF square is equal to 4.41 into 16 divided by 9. Now this is equal to 441 into 16 divided by 9 into 100. This is equal to 49 into 16 divided by 100. This is equal to 7 into 7 into 4 into 4 divided by 10 into 10. And this is equal to that is EF is equal to 28 by 10 that is 2.8 centimeters. Hence our required answer is 2.8 centimeters. So this is for the extension. Bye and take care.


ave to be departures of principles and I think it was accepted that provided that was done within the rules, that was part of the necessary consequence of merging 25 colleges into 10. But there was no specific discussion about the level of those payments and how that would then appear to an auditor, whether it was internally or to the Auditor General of Scotland or to our Public Accounts Committee or a Public Audit Committee of the Scottish Parliament. I don't recall any specific discussions. However, the general principle of saying we have guidance, people need to follow the guidance was part of the debate. The Auditor General had produced a report on exits. Absolutely, no indeed, so it makes us worse. Can I just also question this suggestion that the funding council only paid, let's take one example here, 102,308 out of a total package of 126,058, because the rest of that would have come from the college funding that that college received. So the idea that you personally, of course, Mr Kemp, but the funding council only paid that amount when you were providing the college with all its funding, that's another red herring, isn't it? Because we got, as you all know from the Coatbridge evidence, they tried to make that case too. Darlan, those two characters tried to say how it came from commercial income and then they couldn't justify it, so we know that's not the case either. Indeed, and when I referred earlier to one of the lessons that we would have learned from this, had the SPFM not changed things considerably, the system that was in place at the time meant that we did not know the outcome of these things until afterwards and the system was auditors would pick them up, they would be reported to you as two cases were in section 22s or they wouldn't. Had things not changed, we would want to learn that lesson and we would, and if Coatbridge had been number one in the list instead of last, we might have learned it at a different time. We accept that point. No, I think that's fair. The only other point that I wanted to make was just on the business case and I just want to be clear for the record as the convener was that we did ask all the time, I think you can go back to the official report and look at all the times I asked about the business cases, so I wasn't taking with getting a letter saying that I needed to correct my position on it, I was very clear as the convener was too about the business cases all along and actually what you said to someone who's rather confirmed that, so we'll back off on that one. Mr Howells, you joined, or you became the chief executive of the Scottish Funding Council on April 2014 and you joined its predecessor organisation in 1994 and in that period of time have you ever been asked to leave a meeting before? Have I been asked to leave a board meeting or a meeting of that sort? I have been asked to leave meetings before, but I don't think that not in the context that you've described. To be honest, we don't often, it's not a common event for us to go to board meetings. I think it's probably true to say that that board meeting was the first one that I went to in the role of acting chief executive at the time. I have subsequently been to a board meeting at which I've been asked to leave at which I learned some of the lessons from the Coat Richard experience when I was considerably more forceful in the debate. In answer to your question, no, that's the first time I'm in that role in that kind of situation. I accept that it may well be and probably is unusual for the chief executive of the SFC to attend board meetings, but what about other staff members of the SFC when they attend on a more regular basis? For example, in the merger process, we attended virtually all the partnership board meetings of every single case that occurred, so there's a lot of interaction during that period. Regarding these other meetings, has anyone else ever asked to leave any of these board meetings? Subsequently, post-coat bridge and from the lessons that we've learned, I attended two meetings of boards and, certainly in one, I was also asked to leave along with Dr Kemp and chief executive. I know that we are here to discuss Coat bridge and the convener might stop me here, but are you able to tell the committee as to why you were asked to leave these subsequent meetings? We were asked to leave because the chair said that it was the decision of the board that they would hear what we had to say, but they didn't want to take any questions and discussions and would be asked to leave. I objected on a number of occasions and I was then accused of not respecting the board and we were left under protest and asked for it to be ministered. Now that that's on the record, I'm sure that there will be people with an interest in that particular situation. Are you able to tell us which institution that was? It was Glasgow Collegy's regional board. And was that recently? It was last year. Was it before the change or after the change? Before which change? Was it before the new system that we have or was it? It wasn't introduced in March and it wasn't introduced specifically with severance payments. It was more general governance issues. Right, okay. Just to take it back to Coat bridge for a moment because some of the areas that I was keen to question have been covered, but just on this issue regarding this meeting, when you are asked to leave Mr Hills. Did you raise any protests at that particular meeting? Did you stipulate or indicate that you felt that that would be an approach at that particular time or did you just leave? From memory, I attempted to say that I'm here to have a discussion on what those questions can we talk about. I think that there was one or two questions, but there was nothing. And again, attempting to pursue that dialogue, which seemed to be the right thing, but I've had no response and I'd reached a point where I'd had my say and it was now for that board to listen to that guidance and to do what was expected of them. Okay, thank you. It's just a point of clarity. The £52 million that was allocated towards the merger process was that specifically for severance payments or was it a more general sum? Dr Simpson mentioned that that amount that was allocated to £52 million has increased considerably. Can you give, I think that he said 90, I have another question too. What I think that Dr Simpson was referring to, and correct me if I'm wrong, was that if you add up our funding for the mergers with the other funding that came from college reserves and so on, it adds up to the higher figures. Is that correct, Dr Simpson? Right, so how does that differ from the £52 million that was mentioned in the Audit Scotland report? I think that the £52 million— Are we over budget, that's what I'm asking? No, no. The £52 million is a reference to the SFC funding. The figure that Dr Simpson is referring to recognises the fact that colleges put in some of their own resources. For example, in Edinburgh, where we funded a voluntary severance scheme and paid up to a one-year payback, the element between that and 21 months came from colleges reserves. That's okay. Sorry, I think that it's important. The SFC isn't over budget on this one. No, no. As part of the merger process, I promise was made for national pay bargaining. I was an economics lecturer in higher education before coming in here, and I'm aware that my colleagues still in the University of the Highlands and Islands are paid up to £7,000 less than many people doing the same job in the same colleges in the central belt for the same qualifications. Three years down the line from the promise of national pay bargaining, they are no further forward. I note, convener, that strike action has been mentioned. I'm obviously very much in favour of my colleagues, but it's going to be difficult to recruit in Highlands and Islands unless we pay them the same as elsewhere. When will we get national pay bargaining and where will this money come from? First of all, national pay bargaining isn't specifically related to the mergers. It wasn't part of the aim of the merger programme. It was mentioned at the time. No, it's part of the reforms of the college sector more widely, but it isn't specifically an aspect of the merger programme, although the merger programme arguably makes it easier to do. It has been mentioned, convener, and Audit Scotland reports in the past, and that's the only reason that I'm mentioning it today. There has been quite a lot of progress on national pay bargaining. It is not quite there yet, and certainly the final aspect of pay harmonisation across the sector is not imminent because there are costs attached to that. The college sector has been working closely with the unions on a framework for national pay bargaining, which is almost in place. It's fair to say that there are still some colleges that have to sign fully up to the national pay deal. There is a series of concerns about how they operate as charities and how that can affect the kind of negotiating mechanism that they have. However, there has been considerable progress on that issue. A recent letter of guidance from the Government asked us to support the colleges in taking that forward for that, and we have been in fairly active discussion with the colleges, and indeed with the EIS. Pay harmonisation was promised by the Scottish Government prior to this merger process. You can understand that I have colleagues in the Highlands who are asking me when is this happening. It's a significant amount of money. They have been promised that we want the same level of education and the same quality of lecturers in Highlands and Islands as elsewhere. When can I tell them that they will get an extra 7,000 in their salary? It has been on the cards three or four years now. I think I've been very patient here. I'm afraid that I can't give an answer to that one. We are working very closely with the sector to try to move national pay bargaining forward. I'm right in saying that you're facing strikes because of this. There are issues in the national pay bargaining arena at the moment, but the eventual point of when everyone is paid the same is some way off. That's not what the issues are at the moment. Mr Howells referred earlier to your attendance at the meeting with Cotebridge College. If I recall the previous meeting that the official report confirmed, you advised us that you advised the college that if they were to fund the scheme for Mr Doyle over and above the 13 months, they would need to meet the costs. Is that correct? Yes. In that process, we were clear that we were only ever going to fund up to 30 yards. It wasn't really that concerning to Mr Doyle. Really, what you were saying was that we can provide the 13 months, but anything else has got to come from the college. It wouldn't have been the concern to Mr Doyle that you are trying to amplify today that Mr Doyle would have been in no way concerned about that reference to you. We were only going to fund up to 13 months, because he would have seen it as much funding is in place, not much funding, but the package is funding council this amount in the rest from the college. I am not really sure what the purpose of your attendance at the meeting was. My purpose was to make absolutely certain that that board, whose responsibility that decision was, knew what they were expected to do. What were they expected to do? If they were offering a deal that was outwith the deal for the rest of the thing, they had to justify it. That was what the rules. I was underlining the guidance at the time, and I was seeking to make sure that that board knew what its responsibilities were. The board was never under the impression from you that they would have said, perhaps we shouldn't approve that scheme. Did you ever say that to them? I did not say that, because at that time it was their decision to make that decision. What side of the line do we like? If the system is their decision, the decision of boards is not my job to run colleges. Yes, but it is your job to provide the funding. I understand. It is your job to provide the terms, and it is very clear in the guidance. Indeed. Alongside, the guidance has been said that it is your job to provide that funding. I played that role in saying that we will pay up to 13 months the view of this committee. Why did you have to say that you would provide the 13 months? You could have just said that I am not providing the 13 months, because it has been over and above the recommended amount. Indeed, I could have done that, but as we have said before, we have taken the view that we would not damage the college and its on-going arrangements. I accept that there is a different view that I should have been more forceful than I should have made that decision. What forceful would there have been? What would forceful be? Something that you suggest about a threat to find the college or whatever, I have to say that the context of the time was the mergers with voluntary mergers. We were seeking to persuade, rather than the force. That was the tone of all our discussions. I apologise. You wanted those principles to move on, and this was a convenient process. We provide this, but what is helpful is that Mr Doyle decided to go, was it not? It is undoubtedly that merger would have been hampered had he… Absolutely. Mr Kim, on the issue of—sorry, my site is not as good as it used to be, but looking at the table here, it is Langside College where there is a pension enhancement to the sum of £200,000 in that column. Now, there is no business case attached to that, so would you expect it to be a contractual arrangement where someone receives it? We understand that that was a contractual arrangement, and again, that is something that we find out. Is that a civil servant contractual arrangement or not? No, I think that it was a strathglide pension scheme contractual arrangement. But there were other boards who rejected, apart from what is actually the Koch Bridges case, so you are clear that there was no need for a business case to provide for that pension enhancement? What I am clear is that there was no business case, and what I am also clear is that there was no requirement for them in advance to tell us that they were doing a business case or, indeed, to show us the business case afterwards. I am answering your question in a very specific way, because— There is not a part that is not divided about nor, but let us be clear, but we do not have time to go further. The very clear issue here is that there is a payment being made of £200,000. Now, all I am saying is that the board, when it looked at that, you are saying to me that it was written in its contract that he would receive this enhancement. Yes or no? We understand that that is the case. That is the case, the pension enhancement. On the basis of an early departure, we have a specific reference in the contract that says that you will receive this sum, plus the basics of the 13-month salary. We understand that that is the case, that this was a contractual right, and that it has been through the audit process. It would have been up—within the board's gift to say that this is a contractual right, if this person leaves this has to go, we are not convinced that it is worth that. That is a business case where they come in with it not? Yes, indeed. Yes, and I completely accept that one. I think that the point that the committee has made on many occasions is that, surely when all this public money is going out the door, then somebody has to say, yes, you might have contracted in place, but you need to make a business case for enhancements. That is all that has been said here. We have asked for that information and it has become very clear. It is pretty haphazard. I have been elected representative for 22 years. I have been to community council meetings, I have been to residence associations and they have more in place more effective monitoring systems to pay out very small sums of public money compared to that. I just cannot believe that Scottish Funding Council, when it entered into this process, said that £50 million will make sure that every penny that is spent to the best of our ability has everything attached that it requires to be. In the case that you referred to, we did not pay the £200,000. Let us be clear on that. We put an element of that. You still made the package. I have accepted earlier, and I will repeat again. Were it not for the Scottish Public Finance Manual, one of the lessons that we would have learned is that the element that was out with our control and the control of boards is something that we would need more oversight of had we learned some of these lessons earlier? We accept that point. I am just saying that this committee will have an interaction with us last time. We do thank you for your contribution, but we really do hope that, given the robust report that we have put on record and the recommendations that we have made, we would like to think that the Scottish Funding Council through your leadership, Professor Brown, would take on board the concerns that we have raised today and ensure that there is a legacy for the future, because this will come about again. There may be some other measures or some other process that will come about that lessons that we have learned. I can assure you of that. Colleys, we can now move on to agenda item number 4, which is the section 22 report, the 2014-15 audit of the Scottish Government's consolidated accounts. Colleys will have in their desk the connected response from Alison Stafford, the director general of finance, on their desks. Do the colleagues have any comments? Is this convener the response from the permanent secretary, Leslie Evans, in relation to consolidated accounts? On page 5 of the report, there is a mention of the common agricultural policy cap futures project, which we have all been mentioning in passing today. I just wonder if we could not ask Leslie Evans for an update on this, because my understanding, as of today, is that this programme has still not peed out a quarter of the – has peed a less than a quarter of the sums that should have peed out. There is no sign yet of any accelerated payments, and as Leslie Evans' letter says, it is already 74 per cent over budget. In addition to that cost, there are costs of extra staff that the cabinet secretary has already announced. I think that he is right to do that, because the situation is such a shambles and it is a fiasco. I just wonder if we could, in the next response that we get from the permanent secretary, given the colossal amounts of public money being spent or something that is not working, ask her to be much clearer about what is actually going on here. I strongly appreciate that the auditor general is also looking into this, and I strongly welcome that. Can I just support what Tabby Scott is saying? I had the pleasure of visiting Tabby Scott's constituency last week, and I heard, convener, that some of the staff from Shetland have actually been seconded to Edinburgh to help them to try and get this in order, so I think that the costs that Mr Scott makes about additional staff are well made. Can I also ask the question about how much additional costs it is going to take to be paid by instalments? My third question, convener, is that most of what we have been talking about in the common agricultural policy payments so far has been the basic payments that I understand were due in December. I met five crofters in Shetland and none of them have had a penny of the money that was due in December. What they are saying now is that the main part of their funding is the less favoured area status payments that are due in March. What they are worried about is the domino effect, which is that December payments still have not been paid in the end of February, so the payments that were due in March, when are they due to be paid? I cannot go into the detail, but in terms of agriculture and crofting in Shetland, they stated very, very, very serious concerns about the cash flow problem coming forward. I would like to support Mr Scott and to say that we could do with considerable additional information before the end of this session on those payments because it is causing real worry but it is causing real hardship out there as well. I would like a bit more information on the charity arrangement with the capital projects. We have got a national charity. How do they ring fence local community benefit? How do we ensure that that portion of it goes back into that local community? It is not clear. Okay, can we just be clear then in terms of the information that Tavish Scott is looking for? Tavish, can you just confirm what it is that you are anupdate on the actual cost, which is, supposedly, £178 million. The additional costs that extra staff have been employed, which therefore must be a revenue cost in terms of staffing costs, and an update on the profile of when payments were made using this extraordinary expensive computer that is not working. Can you just say, because obviously we do not want to duplicate the work of the rural affairs committee, so can we just clarify with the other rural affairs committee what they have been doing in this? If there is any duplication, then we can allow them to lead on that, but if there are areas that are relevant to this committee, then if we can leave it on the clerks to prepare the recording, is that okay? I am saying that the rural committee is not looking at money, it is more on people getting paid. The answer to some of the questions that I had, I think that the same applies to the NHS IT procurement, which will be asking the health committee if they are doing anything on this, because there are issues around in terms of their previous reports that would indicate that things have not progressed. In 2010, the health committee had an inquiry into clinical portals and telehealth, and in paragraphs 47 and 48 of that report, it expressed concerns about developing multiple portals and the consequences of that in terms of functionality. In addition, it also questioned the issue around a single user identity because that again led to considerable complications in the system. I am not satisfied that we have now got a new, I think it is 2012 to 2015, we have got some new policy or some new strategy on it. They were looking for a report in 2011-12, so can we ask them if they have actually done that and it may be that they want to put it into a legacy paper to pursue this issue, because I think that there is a general point as well that has not been answered. After this morning's discussion, together with Leslie Evans's report, I have no clear idea of a pathway from the idea that we need a new IT system for something through to its completion. I just have no idea of that. I think that we should be asking the Government and the information person in charge of digital or whatever it is. I do not know what all those people do, but whoever is right at the top of the procurement of IT across the whole Government, we should actually have a much clearer pathway than we have got from the current structure. I would like to go back to what I think was previously said about the charity arrangement in capital projects. I am just wondering whether we could have a reasonably comprehensive briefing on just how this is supposed to work, because I think that we have reached a point where they know what they are trying to do, whether that comes from the Government or whether perhaps it even comes from Spice. It is not for me to say, but I think that something that has led up pretty comprehensively what we are or our colleagues later need to know about this would be useful. Okay, I leave that with the clerks to try and ensure that we do not duplicate the work of our committee, but that we take on board the points apart from that. Okay, as a Greek oes, we will now move to the next agenda items, which are, as previously agreed, to hold in private.


What if I told you there was an option to keep them away from you and from those around you? And it's definitely not how you'd think. Recently, there's been a liquid that's been found in the back rooms, nicknamed Smiler Repellent. Unique name, I know. But this strange juice could be the most important discovery in the back room's history to date. It's thought to be a combination of almond water and some other kinds of unknown liquids or minerals, and no one seems to know how to make it. Some mixtures have been tried, but they've blown up, combusted, or not worked. And just now, the original small sample of this rare liquid has seemingly disappeared under mysterious circumstances. So now it's trying to be figured out how to make it again. Cool.


Mormonism is, above all other things, an immersive discipleship of Jesus Christ. That's not so much a religion about Jesus as it is an aspiration to live the religion of Jesus. This gospel is to trust in, change toward, and fully immerse both our bodies and our minds in the role of Christ. To become gods and saviors, to console and to heal and to raise each other up together. This is the heart of Mormonism. This gospel of Jesus Christ underlies Mormon transhumanism. Mormons situate ourselves today in what we call the dispensation of the fullness of times as a time of great advancement in knowledge and power when we should expect the sciences to flourish. Immortality is physical. It's embodied. There is in Mormonism this notion of progressively improving bodies as well. Our scriptures have this idea of a transfigured being which sees a certain quality of body but then a resurrected being which sees an even better body, a more robust body. I am a transhumanist, not despite my Mormonism, but rather I'm a transhumanist because of my Mormonism. My Mormonism mandates transhumanism. Our scriptures require implicit transhumanism. And many Mormons are transhumanists not because we were trying to find a solution to fix our religion. Our religion led us to transhumanism. We feel a spiritual mandate to engage in transhumanism.

If there is someone here who seems to know many things that you right now do not know and do not understand, he becomes a mystic.    This is the most sophisticated machinery on the planet, this human mechanism. If this mechanism is made such a way that half the time it's in maintenance, you cannot call it the most sophisticated. What's really the purpose of life if you can keep on inside of that? To live totally means before you fall dead, every aspect of life has been explored. Nothing has been left unexplored. Even if you do not explore the cosmos, at least this piece of life you must know it in its entirety. That much you must do to yourself, that's living totally.


Hey stampers, welcome to another week of Watch It Weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth, part of the Stamping Hill creative team, and I am here to show you some really fun simple ideas that can get you prepared for the holiday season. We have, at Stampin' Up, some of these wonderful memories and more card packs. Now, I think the number one intention for these card packs is to do scrapbooking, which is like, we use the pocketbook scrapbooking mode, but I'm not a huge scrapbooker. I really love to use these card packs to make greeting cards. You can take these beautiful card packs and you can make so many greeting cards, very quick and very simply, and Stampin' Up makes this very easy with a bunch of coordinating products that all work together and make it really easy for you to make a lot of cards quickly. I'm showing today the wonder of the season suite of products. There is the wonder of the season card pack. It comes here with these smaller cards, and they're repeated, so there are a bunch of the same ones, which is nice. You can make a bunch of the same cards, but they're also double-sided, so you've got another option on the other side. It comes also with a larger four by six piece here. Again, there's multiple of them. They have this beautiful gold foil accent, and the ones that don't have gold foil are double-sided as well, so you can use either side of those. Really, really cute. Stampin' Up also has wonder of the season memories and more cards and envelopes. These are larger cards and envelopes, and they have this beautiful red foil accent on the cards and the envelopes themselves. It's kind of a little frame there to work with the memories and more card pack. I'm also going to be using today the wonder of the season ribbon combo pack. It has this really pretty shaded spruce wide ribbon, and then it's got this gold trim that comes along with it, too. They're really fun to work together because they're so different.  I feel like of all the years, this is the year to send Christmas cards, and I want to send them to a lot of people, so I'm going to do it in a way that I can make them as quickly and as inexpensive as possible. Okay, I'm going to start with this card here. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Love. Now, I want you to notice something. All of my layering here there's a lot of dimension to it, if you can see that. Something that I also feel is essential for these memories and more cards is Stampin' Dimensionals. If you don't have these, this is such a great basic to have. We use these, I think, in the office more than any other product that we have, maybe besides Whisper White card stock, but it just gives your project that bit of pop. It just makes it complete, and it doesn't add a lot of bulk, so it's easy to mail these with Stampin' Dimensionals on them. So I'm going to pull in the pieces that I need here for this card. I've got my card that I'm going to work on. This one is so fun because it's going to fit my memories and more card right here inside that frame, and it's just going to frame it with that red foil just perfectly. I'm going to bring in my sticker sheets here. I want this saying right here. It just pops right off of there. I'm going to add, even though this is adhesive on the back, I'm going to add dimensionals to this because I want it to pop off of the paper and give it just that much more dimension. Something to remember with these is that they are sticky on the back, so they'll try to grab your project. So you want to use a few dimensionals to pop it up so that you don't have to worry about it unevenly sticking to your paper.  Push it down there, and then I'm going to add my little jingle bells here. I'm going to add just a little dimensionals to the back of my jingle bells and put those on, just like that. And you have multiples of these stickers to be able to use. It really is very quick to come up with these cards, and they just take such a short time to assemble, but they've got that really pretty wow factor with the red foil accents and the gold foil accents on some of the sheets. I'll show you another one of those. And then I've got my ribbon here that I'm going to put right behind that, and very quickly I've got a beautiful card. Let me show you this again. That's what it looks like. And you've got that beautiful envelope to send it in with that pretty accent. So quick and easy. I wanted to show you one more card that we've come up with. I love this one because it really shows off that gold foil accent. This one is one of the larger four by six memories and more cards. So it's going to cover up that red foil on the memories and more cards and envelopes, but I still think it's really pretty, and I think it's okay to cover that up. Let me pull in my pieces here. Just a few pieces. I'm going to first take my ribbon and tie it around this foil piece. Just in a knot. This ribbon has a great weight to it, and it's actually really easy to tie. Quick and simple. Just like that. I'm going to trim it just so it's a little bit shorter here. And then I'm going to adhere that down to my card base just using some Stampin' Seal. No dimensionals for that bottom layer. Now these cards are made to give you just a little frame right around that card base just like that. So pretty. Now I'm going to take this card and I'm going to add it. This is one of the smaller cards from the pack. I'm going to add it with some Stampin' Dimensionals. Now I like to put four, one on each corner and then one right in the middle just to keep it from sinking down in the middle. Peel off that little layer. I'm going to add that just right there. And I'm going to take Sending You Christmas Wishes. Again, this is a sticker back, but I want to pop it up with some dimensionals. So I'm going to add a few just to keep it from sticking to the paper. And I'm going to pull off these dimensionals on the back here and add my saying, my sentiment, just right onto my Christmas tree there. Sending You Christmas Wishes. So quick and simple. I've got your card and your coordinating envelope. Love it.  I'm confident that you could easily come up with your cards, but if you feel like you need a little bit of help, we do have a PDF that's available for download at stampingjill.com that you can get to have some inspiration and make your cards even quicker.  We have split this video into two parts showing you some cards that you can make that I just shared, but Aubrey also has come up with an advent calendar using the rest of the card pack. So make sure you check out that video so that you can use your card pack to the full extent. If you need to purchase any of these products to make these awesome cards and advent calendar, please visit us at stampingjill.com and you can click the link to shop there. If you have any questions, please let us know and thank you so much for watching. We'll see you next week for another Watch Weekly Wednesday.
