Hello everybody and welcome to video number 31 of the online version of the fusion research lecture We are in chapter 6 turbulent transport and you might remember that in the last video We started to talk about turbulence and neutral fluids and introduced the Navier-Stokes equation This video we will look at the dimensionless form of the Navier-Stokes equation because this can be very helpful for our purposes so we will look at the Dimension dimension less form of the Navier Stokes equation and To do that we will first start with a simple sketch made to make a drawing We have some obstacle Maybe we introduce another obstacle So these two obstacles here This one as well So this is just this is just an obstacle and the size of the obstacle is Corresponds to a characteristic size in the system capital L Then we have the resulting streamlines So we have a flow streaming around the obstacles and that might look for example If it's some kind of water so the streamlines might look like this like this then this Here in between them. It's more or less straight This one then goes more like this and This one more like this for example Then we have also a typical velocity Which I use green Not sure if you can see this So this kind of thick green line here This should correspond. This is a capital U corresponding to a typical Characteristic velocity of the system. So we have L being a character characteristic size of the system capital U being a characteristic velocity of the fluid From these two quantities, we can of course also define capital T a characteristic time using the characteristic length capital L divided by capital U Which then corresponds to a characteristic time now Producing the dimensionless units then the following dimensionless units dimensionless units T prime Being T divided by capital T then U prime being U divided by capital L over capital T and capital L prime being R over L And using these dimensionless units, we can then get the dimensionless form of the Navier-Stokes equation which reads the derivative of With respect to T of the Characteristic of the dimensionless velocity minus the gradient of the pressure plus one over R E I will introduce that quantity in a minute Laplacian into the of the characteristic velocity in principle also for the Gradient and for the Laplacian we have to introduce this prime so that we also hear the normalized Coordinate system so let's highlight that We have here as I said Introduced a dimensionless an additional dimensionless units and that unit and that is R e This is the Ray-Noel's number you might have heard of that This is the Ray-Noel's number R e which is equal as the coefficient of The mass of the fluid density sorry Yeah divided by eta Viscosity the characteristic velocity and length or Being the same as a characteristic velocity times the length over mu Where mu is the so-called kinematic viscosity the kinematic Viscosity and our is the Ray-Noel's number an important Number an important quantity in the real hydrodynamic or on turbulence in general Because the Ray-Noel's number tells us something about the state the fluid is in so for a fixed geometry The Ray-Noel's number basically determines the state of the fluid So for Fixed Geometry the Ray-Noel's number R e Determines the state of the fluid What do I mean by that? Let's have a look at the three examples that are included here first of all in the left-hand side We have basically the same Example as in the drawing on the previous slide. We have three obstacles one two three and around the obstacles There is a flow and it is a laminar flow so you can see we have nice streamlines and We have a low Ray-Noel's number for this case if you see the the big the long error on the bottom here This means that the Ray-Noel's number increase is the further we go to the right Then on the middle plot we have obviously a slightly increased Ray-Noel's number and We see that we have some kind of vortices here. You see there's one basically One row of vortices after each obstacle. This is why these Rows are called Vortex Streets Then if we further increase the Ray-Noel's number We basically have a lot of vortices a lot of eddies here until we finally end up here with the state of fully developed turbulence So that's right that down and when increasing the Ray-Noel's number, so If we have again a similar drawing where the Ray-Noel's number increases into this direction Then we start with a laminar state Then from the laminar state we go into a state where we have these vortex streets and these are also called Karman vortex Streets and Those these are basically rows of vortices with opposite rotational directions. So these are such the Karman vortex street is a row of Vortices With Opposite Rotation Directions Now if we further increase the Ray-Noel's number we get first an irregular Irregular appearance of vortices So we get this kind of irregular appearance of Vortices Until we finally get a state of fully fully developed Turbulence fully developed Turbulence this is what we've seen in the previous in the drawing Now let's have a look at some actual experiment Illustrated here. We have three different states in the top left one Let's start with the top left one where we see again an obstacle around which a flow is a fluid is flowing and Here the stream lights Stream lines in the water have been made visible by aluminum powder in the water and Here we have a relatively low Ray-Noel's number of 1.54 and you see these nice closed stream lines if you go to the next picture We have you already see that you might see that here are two vortices behind that Obstacle so the Ray-Noel's number has been increased and it is here approximately 26 And then if we increase the Ray-Noel's number further you can see that in this area We basically in this region we have fully developed turbulence and here we have a Ray-Noel's number on the order of 2000 which Resides in such a state of fully developed turbulence and You can interpret the Ray-Noel's number as follows so one interpretation and oops, sorry Interpretation is that the Ray-Noel's number basically is the the quotient to the coefficient of the non linearity of the non linearity Over the dissipation over the dissipation Where non linearity is the part which creates which drives the turbulence and dissipation the part which Reduces it and this is why when you have a low Ray-Noel's number We have a low non linearity term a small non linearity term or large dissipation We do not have a turbulence if you have a large Ray-Noel's number the non linearity driving forces large and we get a state of fully developed turbulence and and Oops, ah there was sorry slight missing So here we see again two Photographies and these are flowing soap films So these are flowing soap Films vertically flowing from the top to the bottom so they're basically falling down and You can see on the left Photography we have these nice Stream lines. So these are where very well separated, right? There's a bit of The non linearity driving term here. So the Ray-Noel's number increases if you go further down here You can see these nice vortices which we have for here for example But interesting thing happens if we increase is a Ray-Noel's number as you can see on this Photography here because for a large Ray-Noel's number The behavior is quite different and you get a lot of enhanced mid-saying mixing properties, right? There's a lot of Exchange going on into the perpendicular direction. This is something which you can also see nicely here in this photography Well, these are smoke lines so smoke is injected into a system and You can clearly see these kind of enhanced mixing properties due to increased cross-transport and Increased perpendicular transport. So what we can see here is so first of all, this is smoke what we see here Nice photography is beautiful. Photographies of smoke taken from this book which is Excited here. So definitely worth a look and we can see that turbulence leads to enhanced Mixing properties Or if you are maybe more importantly to say it is it leads to increased cross Well by cross I mean perpendicular increased cross transport as nicely illustrated by this photography a Way to study the turbulence the Navi Stokes equation is to by studying the Borger's equation which is very similar to the 1d Navi Stokes equation and also a very famous equation so the Borger's equation Which you might know from your mathematical physics lecture also from your hydrodynamics lecture So this equation is similar To the 1d Navi Stokes equation Assuming that the fluid density is 1 and that there is no pressure then it reads the derivative with respect to t of a velocity plus the velocity times the spatial derivative of the velocity Equal to the to mu times the second spatial derivative of the velocity This can be solved for example numerically as you might have done it in your numerical plasma physics lecture One could use finer differences for that. So these are shown here are numerical Solutions for that. So what is done here? This was solved numerically One could use finer differences and just involve it in time then using the Condition that u so velocity as a function of x is equal to u knot Times sorry for writing it like this sine times the wave number times x Then the nice thing about numerics as you know, you can simply switch off The separate terms in the equation by studying then the other terms for example on the left hand In picture so here What we have looked at here or what we look at here is by just having an equation Which reads the time derivative of the velocity is equal to minus the spatial derivative of the velocity Such that only this term in the equation has been used now And this one we have cancelled out and just omitted it and neglected it here Then the solution shown here oops shows us two plots the dashed line here is the initial The starting point t equals zero and then the other line the solid line is the Solution after a characteristic time step and we can see that we just get the propagating wave by that Yeah, so this is just a propagating perturbation. This is just a propagating Perturbation as you might have expected from that now Just looking at the time evolution of the equation of the spatial derivative of u Being equal to mu and then the second derivative of u So only the part on the right hand side here just looking at this equation at this part of the equation We can then see that again in this drawing the dashed line is the initial The starting condition t equals zero and then after a characteristic time step We have the solid line and we see that the amplitude has been reduced. So this term corresponds to damping. So this is the viscosity which we have here the viscosity and this results in damping and This is from the microscopic level. This is basically inner friction which we have here Now if we finally look at the non linearity So meaning the partial derivative of u being equal to minus u times the special derivative of u So looking at this term here Then we see that the non linearity resulting that results in steep gradients so that the non linearity Results in steep gradients As you can see in the plot. So again the dashed line is the initial value The initial solution the starting point and then here you can see after the time has evolved Here you can see these kind of steep gradients which we have here Yeah, so basically we have something like if you could also say we have higher harmonics here And this can lead then to eddies and now these two Parts so the viscosity and the non linearity These two are always in competition. So these two are always in Competition competition and One way to express that is as we said the Reynolds number. So these are in competitions to either Which either results in a state where we have some kind of turbulence going on or if you have more laminar system Okay, that's it for this video where we looked into the dimensionless form of the Navier-Stokes equation and introduced the very important Reynolds number which determines the state of a fluid You have looked at a few examples introduced the expression Kaman vortex street Looked at again a few more examples then here finally in this equation look at the Borgers equation Which is similar to the one D Navier-Stokes equation in order to have a look at the role of the different terms in the equation Okay, that's it for this video. See you in the next video


Hello, this is born from one dot TV and today I want to talk about YouTube comments as you may or may not know I am I'm going to start by producing more videos more so than in the past and I find that I Had a lot more viewership and I had a lot more views and I had a lot more interaction when I did have comments The downside was as you all know Sometimes the YouTube comments can get all way out of control People feel that they need to express themselves in an anonymous way With no face and basically say the meanest things they can to try to get a point across which is no point at all basically trying to tilt the streamer or the content provider trying to get them to To get upset trying to get the reaction out of other commenters So there's a lot of negativity that can come out of YouTube comments But I mean going back and just remembering some of my older videos I mean some of the best feedback I've gotten has been via comments whether it be from Twitter Whether it be from a twist chat whether it be from a private message whether it be Whether it be from YouTube comments I mean people they'll they'll genuinely say you know your video made my day or your video It was exactly what I need to hear to fix a tech problem or you know Your video made me laugh and one of my comedy videos or laughing videos one of your videos made me laugh and Pretty much turn my dark day into a brighter day and I think I need to take responsibility and just turn YouTube comments back on and just weather the storm and try to Do that again. I want to make a difference in people's lives. I want to I want to help them with a tech problem I want to help them find out something new about some sort of site or a video game I want to make them laugh. I want to brighten their day I want to show them that hey you can make a video too because I've always been about Teaching people how to do content like this that you all you need is a microphone the camera You don't need a elaborate studio. You don't need super lights. You don't need a super microphone You don't need a mixer. You don't need a producer You just need a camera and a microphone and turn it on start talking to people and you will connect with somebody So I am going to turn YouTube comments back on we're gonna see how it works because Since I turned them off YouTube has improved some moderation features because that was a big problem Before it was kind of hard to moderate comments. It was kind of hard to moderate even my inbox on YouTube was bad as well and It was prime for abuse But I'm gonna take the initiative and I'm gonna weather the storm and I'm going to enable YouTube comments because I mean I think that one person or two people That get something out of the video is worth getting bashed by a thousand people calling me names and stuff Hey, man, it's the internet. You got to deal with it.  So That's a nice way of saying it.  You're watching this video Of course, you're not this is one of from one out TV YouTube comments are back on so leave a comment below Now let me know what you think or don't it's up to you.


Question is from Derek McMullen of the three major power lifting lifts Which one did you have to work the hardest on to get stronger and which one was the easiest cool question? Yeah So we're probably all different here, too. Yeah, I think so. What were your what were your top lifts in each of the three lifts? What if what in your life? What are the thoughts? Let's start with that because I think that's a cool thing to okay So Bench Bench 375 squat 420 and Deadlift 550 mm. Those are all those are all top numbers on on that I did 355 on bench was the most I ever did for squat was 405 deadlift was 600 What about you Justin? I'm trying to think of my deadlift because that was the weakest I think it was only like 425 or something like that and squat squat actually like I got up to 475 and then for kicks for bench I did I got up to 405. Yeah, yeah Yeah, so the one that I worked on the first Was bench press and the reason why I worked on bench press first was because when I was a kid That was the lift. Yeah, like a bench was king. Yeah, nobody cared like if they didn't ask you What was your day? What's your deadlift with your squad was always like how much can you bench? So because there was so much importance placed on that. Mm-hmm. That was the lift that I focused on First and focused on it the most The deadlift came very natural to me. I'd say the the probably the first time I really started deadlifting. I Was maybe 16 and three plates was fast. I don't remember how long it took me to get three plates but it wasn't long at all and then four plates came pretty quick after that and then Five plates happened in my 20s and then in my 30s when I hit six that one was really easy squats We're all so difficult, but my legs Forget even though I have mobility issues in my hips my legs get really big and strong And so I got pretty good at the squat In terms of weight it was the bench press that took me a long time and then eventually I think it's what the bet always focusing on bench press I think it's one of the reasons why I eventually had shoulder surgery and now I never Push heavy on the bench press. I have my AC joint Had to get operated on and now I just I rarely ever go above 225 on the bench press That's probably as heavy as I'll go ever again. Yeah, we're all a little bit different, right? We're I'm where were you and I are the same Deadlifts just came real natural to me. I remember When I first started deadlifting I was doing like, you know, 135 like figuring it out like mine I mean it was one of those exercises like we've never done a deadlift. It takes a while to learn the mechanics Mm-hmm as soon as I figured the mechanics out like it's when it started when when it started to feel smooth Quickly I went from like one plate to two plate to three plate to four plate to the eventually five plate It didn't take me long to really to really push the numbers and deadlift it just felt very natural for me and The opposite is true with squatting squatting has been a grind my whole life and even though my squad is okay And and my bench isn't isn't that strong. I mean I got a long limb. So at the end of the day I don't think I was ever built to be a really really strong power lifter in in these big lifts But I I moved the needle pretty far on my my bench Especially when I was competing like that that a chest obviously your chest is a major focal point for competitors so it was an area of emphasis for me and I Remember really starting to notice a big difference when I started building my and I also so when I hit 375 I could hit that on a flat and I could hit that on an incline So that's probably them the most impressive thing about my bench was I made a point to be as strong in the incline Press as I was the flat which is not normal most guys can lift Significantly more on their flat than they can incline I had a pretty well developed chest both an incline and flat bench and it didn't take as much effort early on as a kid Chest was really hard for me and bench was hard for me because my mechanics were off And then that's why I stressed that even with the deadlift and all these things and the end squat too Like a lot of times when you really struggle with a lift More often than not it's you're still learning the mechanics down and and for me I had from all my sports that I had played You know and I'm left-handed. I had a little bit of a this kind of forward shoulder And it was very very subtle the average eye would not be able to see it and tell I didn't even know and didn't put Piece together until later as a trainer But I had like one side of my chest my opposite side was more developed than my dominant Throwing side because I had this kind of roll forward shoulder. So when I bench pressed My shoulder and my triceps took over the load on that one side on the opposite side I had better mechanics and so my chest was uneven for a long time So it took me a really long time to actually level that out and when I when I learned that saw the importance of it I also had to stop ego lifting because as a young 17 18 19-year-old kid lifting I was always trying to just keep up with my buddies that were way stronger than me on the bench press I was weak as fuck and my chest wasn't developed right because I wasn't doing it correctly When I figured out how to get the mechanics right and fix my imbalance that took about a year or two of Really lightweight control learning form and technique once that all came together and like I really understood how to chest press Then it then it kind of took off and it was doing great The hardest thing has been squat and I think I was just sharing with you guys You know, that's a recent one for you. Yeah, it's it's recently Finally came together and again back to the form technique thing is I'd never really addressed The the mobility thing for me. I never worked on my hips. I never worked on my ankle mobility I had a really ugly squat Even when I worked at it for a long time and got kind of strong in it Like 315 was just like crippling for me for a very long time It wasn't until I really started to address the hips the ankles get better at squatting and then and then now I'm actually I'm getting close to you know, some of my peak numbers I could probably squat 375 380 right now I feel pretty confident about in 420 is like my record record and when I was doing that I was actually on anabolic. So when I was 420 squatting 420 I was at the peak of my bodybuilding career. So I'm actually really excited about that But it's been a grind to get a good squat. It's been a grind for me. Yeah, I think for me I Was under the impression based off of all the coaches that I've had and like the programming that I was exposed to through athletics that We pretty much avoided like the deadlift. It was kind of a lot like what you heard out of Robert Oberst and his sort of mentality towards that with with athletes That's the kind of dogma that was thrown at me quite a bit going through, you know training and so We did do Power cleans and I really honed in on power cleans. So that was like my jam. Like I got up to like 350 You know power cleaning so I could do a decent. That's funny. You could power clean 350 Yeah, I'm serious and it has to be a lot of that's technique, right and of course I was completely like to be to be completely transparent probably the last few years is only the time I've even put into deadlifting I've never even really tried to put effort towards maxing on deadlift So I have no idea, you know, if there's any potential there or not, but it's not something that I really focused on Squatting came natural to me. That was something that like it felt like getting the groove of it, you know, pretty pretty seamlessly There was something that like felt like immediately. Oh, yeah, I get this like my body gets this I could I could do well with this and that actually like I was putting up some good numbers right out of the gates And like I was immediately jumping they got they had groups for Like I started out with like the running backs the the linebackers the corners and all that and then kind of jumped up into the linemen Real fast because like, you know, I could I could hang with all them in terms of their numbers For squat and their numbers for bench and bench was another one that came naturally to me But yeah, it was really like the posterior chain like I was in terms of like deadlifts and Like I was like any kind of pulling move was a little more difficult for me and pull-ups and all that Was very challenging for me. So yeah, I felt like I like pushing and You know in those type of mechanics like I could I could like seamlessly get into that It's funny because really really good dead lifters tend to Some of them are good at squats most of them are bad at bench press It's like the things that make you really good at dead lifting the long arms and the long levers tend to make That's what I appreciate a bit. I appreciate that about powerlifting. Yeah, they consider that and it's like the You know your grand total of all of those you have to you know somewhat do well in all of them I remember when I pieced together because I valued strength a lot in lifting weights I know you at Adam you probably placed more of an emphasis on aesthetics longer term than I did Oh for sure I know Justin was very performance oriented like I was like for me I liked the building muscle, but I liked the strength of it and I remember when I figured out That you know if I trained with the lower rep ranges But frequently where I was practicing two or three reps, but I was doing it three three days a week or four days a week I remember piecing that together and then my numbers just Going to the roof and I loved it and that was in my in my early 20s That's when I would stop the single body part You know one body part of time type training Like you know if I practice bench press a few days a week Let's see what happens and I got I got my numbers. I I trained for at least 10 years And never knew my pr in any of those. Oh, I tested my pr first day. I worked out 10 years 10 years I trained and could not if somebody asked that question first of all that question was it was rarely ever asked 10 years ago It's since the the birth of crossfit. It's a very common thing because they test PR was not a thing It was bench press was bench press was how much do you max? Yeah, that was that was nobody was talking about Nobody was talking about their pr and anything else. No, no nothing and even then I again I didn't I I did not believe in maxing out like I just didn't I wasn't a strength I didn't value strength the same way. I was all about aesthetics And I had learned early on that I could build a pretty good-looking physique and never in my life max out And I knew that when I was teaching clients that was always the safest route So I was the trainer who kind of actually avoided it with this chip on my shoulder a little bit Like you max out that's stupid. What's your goal?  Oh, you're not a powerlifter.  I remember you just all all show no go I was just like what like I didn't even compute with me. Why would you why would you brag about that? Like no girl ever asked you in the room in the bedroom what your pr is That's exactly what I used to say And and and honestly most people that go to the gym, you know most people there, of course There's exceptions the rule they're listening right now, but most people are going there to change their aesthetics They want to they want to lose their fat. They want to build a little bit of muscle They want to look better. They want to feel better. They want to feel sexy and what I Pieced together early on was you know what? None of that you you do not have to ever train like a strength or a powerlifting athlete to achieve that There's very little value to it for the average person I mean, I can I can make a case for some value, but reality you're 100 well What I'll make the case for and what breaking beyond that happened for me and we've shared this a little bit on the podcast is I have a different looking physique today than what I did eight years ago. Um, and and it's due to Lifting heavy weight like I've built it. It's it's so hard to explain. It's density. Yes Obviously somebody who's who's been here and done both understand it's really hard for me to articulate this to a new lifter but When and when I went from being the guy who only trained like hypertrophy type training for For a decade and then I went into strength training and incorporated strength training I built a different looking muscle on my body and and the best way that I could describe it is My hypertrophy that I had was man when I would get in the gym and I would lift and I get all aired up I'd look great I would look like and I used to always say that man if I could just look more like what I look like All pumped up and aired up which I know everybody can relate to but I would really deflate after that And sure I looked kind of fit but nowhere near what I looked like inside the gym When I started lifting really really heavy I saw less of a pump You know from the workouts But I started to build like this solid muscle and I started to notice that You know just my arms hanging by my side. You could see my tricep Which you would only see that if I got them all aired up in the past And so and the same thing goes for my legs and goes for my like all of a sudden I built this muscle that didn't need to be aired up To look solid and big and that's the best way I can describe that to people and the value of what Strength training and heavy lifting did for my body and physique, but you absolutely could build it without it Totally.


Up to welcome everybody to the independent investor live stream every week. We throw down we foot stomp on the opportunity for individual investors in In in an opportunity that is is absolutely real and it's exciting it's exciting times to have the opportunity to become a participant in in financial markets and looking to open the opportunity to all and looking to really parse through the gray and and Define that black and white for you And make sure that you're not being led astray That's why we are so adamant about the opportunity to put individuals in control of their own money and It's a it's not a very well accepted concept. It really isn't I I think when we're looking to challenge the system and how it's developed The system in and of itself. I mean You know pundits pundits come and they go on and YouTube YouTube is no different In that just selling the news of the day seems to be extremely popular to a lot of people that want to look for The largest group and the very criteria that they look for is well if this has the largest group then Somehow the information that's being turned out must be Credible and I think unfortunately it does not promote any type of individual thought and I think it can really muddy the waters it can confuse people it can make people overreacted situations that They wouldn't have normally reacted to had they just taken a little bit of time to self assess and And and take a look at what they want not only out of financial markets But to have a little bit of perspective about about your opportunity and you know what type of risk is worth putting on the table and You know how it is the tried and true methods of entering into financial markets Can can help you buffer some of the volatility and you know It's times like this where I can lean into the portfolio as much as I need I'm getting absolutely crushed and small caps small caps right now are just getting obliterated. There's no doubt about it This is a pretty indicative of Of the the cycle here that we've we've been in since early November and and I was Giving you guys the pulse and the tone for those folks that make their way into the independent investor channel For some reason as of late everybody's wanted to realize that there is shit in their pants And they want to start cleaning it out now. I'm not really sure. I understand that in that application. I don't There is no emotion in stock market investing as cliche as that does sound You really do have to have an approach that is above all you really do need to learn to apply a Methodology about stock market investing and you do you do need to pay attention? I Think you know what's what's interesting to me I was just talking to my good friend back behind the scenes here with Kyle with passive him coming You know the irony that some of those sharp minds on YouTube is That they're judged by that they're their channels I've got Matt money here in the group and you know myself We've got relatively small channels, but I think there's an element of Assistance there and really a sharp mind to try to parse through The confusion in the landscape and really try to understand and put yourself into the driver's seat of the recipient of the message so if you're sitting across from somebody and You know, it's like well Ryan just sold out of his entire portfolio by my course You know and it's I sneak that in every now and then I think for the patrons out there that Been around the block a few times. I think they can Double-check and make sure that that you don't have my hand in your pocket Taking out my donation to be part of the live stream here on the independent investor channel man But certainly delivering the goods absolutely but You know pundits those folks that are catching waves of the momentum's and yeah interest rates are going up They've been prematurely low or manufactured At historic lows for a significant amount of time And I think to step into a little bit more of a higher interest rate environment to hedge the effects of inflation Because we've we've infused the populace with capital flows to help buffer What has been an unprecedented pandemic over the last couple of years is completely normal Now again, if you you are just realizing that you indeed have soiled yourself And that you need to do a little bit of personal maintenance because you have never gone through this before or Your stock market investing Application has been defined on the last 10 years doing nothing but providing you easy money in the market, right? My my course Then then I This is going to be a lesson for you that is going to be hopefully well received in that You know people were lulled to sleep for a long long time to think that the market was just one of those things that could be made out to be something more than what it actually is and You're getting a bit of dose of reality right now as to the stock market investing opportunity and Me personally There's certain elements of the portfolio that yeah that are getting stuck, but I'm leaning against the passive Element to the portfolio man. I'm up week over week on the tsp You know those those programs that appeal to the masses out there those folks that Can look at their own program and say well hell.  Okay. It's not It's it's it's aimed to To to catch a wave the irony and the whole thing is you know, there's an interesting dynamic now in the markets I say when in both markets up and down all the time that's prudent that that is prudent approach when you're talking about the stock market But you know when I view and it was a very heated Topic in a good way in my viper group this week If you're not part of the viper group I would invite you to subscribe to the viper group. You get one private session with me Every year and it works really really well for a lot of introductory Investors you kind of got that in your hip pocket. I think a lot of folks use it as that But you can check that at independent investor group.com. That's independent investor group.com The links are on the front page of the youtube channel kickover. That's product. I'm very very proud of It will build out and I do not want people in there that don't want to be there. It's just that simple. Don't join Okay, I'm a little different by my course. Um, I don't I don't do that I I want people in there that are serious about wealth building and It's amazing to me break and bet down barriers for people like that to find those folks that Maybe have come from a little bit of hardship in their life. They're hungry. Um, they want to get ahead They're fighting scratching, you know working hard Every single day to scratch out that living Identify that a little bit of surplus capital in the budget to Put to work on a program. Okay Now look at your program as a series of layers Okay for a lot of people out there the layers can start with the 401k the 403 b the 457 programs If you don't have that and you are self-employed, certainly the the sep is worth looking at And then the individual Roth IRA account and so on we can we can layer up in any capacity that you want I think I've got about 20 accounts now. I just started the corporate accounts. That's four additional here.  I don't have a course I don't I don't think that way Um, I think that if I was going to sell everything in the stock market The prudent thing would be is not to share that with anybody Because that if you do understand anything and either one of two things the individual does understand it Or is naive to the fact that that is terrible terrible advice to give to an audience of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people Who will be excuse me? Let us stray By by by receiving that message. Well, maybe it is time to just sell everything The really tough part about that I gave a very spirited audio cast in my viper group You know, what what happens if the market ends up rolling off a thousand or two thousand points? It is it's going to be dubbed in the short term as that that individual man Knows the stock market that individual is a stock market whisperer. That's amazing. Bye my course You got to buy this guy's course. It's amazing, right? He'll be able to call tops and bottoms in the market indefinitely You know the irony in that is that um, there was no declaration of the losses that were incurred on that multimillion dollar portfolio that um, you know An individual like that doesn't need to invest Doesn't need to invest you've got millions of dollars stacked up You've got financial security The stock market at that particular juncture is optional for you. Okay a lot of people might disagree with me. That's fine You can disagree. I don't care. I'm right All right, it's optional for you if you want to continue to aspire to higher than average wealth No problem You just have to understand that risk has to remain on the table But the necessity of providing your basic needs is already met. You don't need to invest Okay, so for somebody like that Right to project to people that yes indeedy. I have sold all my stock. Who cares who cares good for you It doesn't transcend it doesn't it takes individual retail investors away from The very message that we should be after And that is to stay the course in financial markets. Why because investing for you and people like me Is a necessity. It is something that we have to do. Okay It's not something that you have the luxury of engaging in and not understand Matt money talked about this this week and I was like kind of foot stomping his message a little bit this week When he had mentioned some of you guys think that your portfolio managers managers and you know I suffer a little bit from this ego, but I also know what I'm doing If there's anybody that's going to make sense of a stock trade in deep water, it's going to be this guy Okay, some people don't even know the game that they're getting involved with they don't even know You know the rules of engagement for Single stock and investing and the due diligence that's required to even you know maintain A portfolio like that and and make sure that it can be managed properly to reduce And take into consideration the risk that you're putting on the table A lot of people are naive to the risk in the first place, right? So it's it's all well and good I think when you end up in that basket of stocks and the market momentum Is carrying you to the upside and you think man, this is badass, right?  I'm gonna quit my job This is this is awesome. I'm a phenomenal investor. No, you're not you're not And just like where those folks are calling market tops. There might be a potential there We we are coming out of if not Rolling off of slightly a 12-year bull market after a financial crisis that was very very real There was corruption there during the mortgage back security crisis in 2009. Okay, since then it's been gangbusters Okay, I moved to Detroit around that time every single every other house on the in the neighborhood were short sell foreclosure I wish I would have just bought 15 houses at that time because they were giving them away for free This was just 12 years ago Okay, not that long ago Now the flip side is that the real estate market is gone bananas And you can't you can't find a driveway For $250,000 let alone a single family home in a nice neighborhood that's safe And you can put your kids into a nice school. They don't exist Not unless you want to pay a premium of $500,000 in this country and that's what's going on right now Okay, so You're gonna keep this thing in perspective a little bit have have a good head on your shoulders Not to overreact and I think certainly, you know with that type of odds making and coming from a perspective of somebody that Obviously has a has an agenda by my course Has an agenda, right?   I do this channel for the most part free of charge That's the financial piece that supplements my message.  I did gold mining. That was a phenomenal video Nobody watches it in my independent investor channel Audience and nor do I expect you to do so But you know By my course Really does reach into your pocket and take money out of your pocket It really doesn't take that much commitment to hit the thumbs up button to know that I explain and provide that Transparency as to why I do some of those projects and allows me to come on and do my favorite project Which is this every single friday and hang out with you guys Who is really my online network of people and To value Your guys' involvement in whatever capacity you want if you want to come in and catch the live stream free of charge That's awesome It gives me a lot of confidence to know that people can find an opportunity And hear an inspiring message like mine to make sure that they can stay steadfast with their met with their Program through thick and thin If you really do listen to the message, you'll understand that by controlling the scale and controlling the amount of Of of dollars that you put toward the market and you put those dollars to work in the right capacity You enjoy some of the positive things about Entering into the stock market either on the right side or the wrong side There's a lot of things that people do Incorrectly in the stock market And that's what matt was trying to really foot stomp and i'll i'll go one further and say a lot of people don't deserve To do single stock investing and there's intel. There's a certain level of understanding about the game that you're getting part of Most people just need to really get invested in Either ETFs or index funds Enjoy the markets passively most of your 401ks will supplement that very need and wonderful, right? I think it provides that opportunity get you off the sideline Get you involved in financial markets, but you know, it's interesting I posted a chart this week The market over the last couple days has been pretty horrendous But I I think we're down now probably four or five percent Year to date four or five percent guys You know At the time when the portfolio was liquidated and that advice was going out through youtube and I know there was a few folks commenting on it and like I said, I mean the man could be right Okay, I just want to caution each and every one of you guys to Put the proper credence if any Or the proper level of acknowledgement if any To being right in the stock market I want you to think about that for a second. All right It is being right in the stock market. Is that going to render by my course? Is that going to render more of those results? Because the individual is perceived as being right and being that stock market whisperer that I talked about Yeah, yeah Parsing through the gray man to provide the black and white tea. It's just that damn simple It's not that difficult Don't make it more difficult than it needs to be to be honest with you man That was like pulling teeth for me sitting through that video I don't I don't watch those big youtube channels as a matter of fact There's very few that I watch anymore Um, I'll support I'll support the gentlemen that are in my network I've got ethos investing in the house man fantastic Lots of corruption still Totally agree with you. Here's somebody with their thumb on the pulse, you know, and it's funny There's a lot of these awesome awesome youtube channels out there that are also really really great people You know map money and kyle who's a guest on the channel all the time and part of my business networks and dealings behind the scenes These guys are gangsters.  Just does that got to be locked in I think a lot of people have that potential to reach deep and find it some won't some won't Some want to come on to youtube and Take that ill advised posture of finding the largest youtube channel out there and saying, okay Well, there's a few million followers here. This must be the way And I contend that that is extremely dangerous Because I don't know if people are either doing one of two things. They're looking for genuinely good information And some of the information that's rendered out of these channels are actually very very good Meet kevin is a very very smart smart kid Smart guy, no doubt. I don't mean to sound condescending at all But I lost a lot Watching that and I thought, you know, it speaks to the motivation and good for him Marketing fantastic By the course he will sell courses out of the deal Why because people are naive and they love they love to for some reason Have their nose up the backside of somebody as if they're if they're smelling that ass, they're happy me That's not where I like to be. Okay. Most of the activity that happens In my wheelhouse is behind me Why because I'm out front And that's what I expect out of each and every one of you guys to dig deep and if there's any type of Servant leadership inside you find it Find it as soon as you can find it with some ferocity Okay, because being a follower in this life is going to eat you up and it's going to spit you out It's just that simple And you're you're going to find that you really don't have any ideas that work on your own It's it's gonna it's it's gonna it's going to be real tough on you man because when you come to atone for the decisions that you've made Unfortunately, you'll be atoning for the recommendations that you Took and deployed for yourself When you should have been taken your own advice guys So really appreciate you guys making your way into the fastest 60 minutes on youtube for another live stream here on friday I got a killer show for you guys planned and um, it's great to see everybody be with back with you in just a moment I don't know what it is that allows us to be so gullible And sometimes I have to make sure that i'm speaking to people In relative terms And what I mean by that is I understand i'm wired different. I understand that Now I like who I am all right I don't take any shit from anybody none And i'm a very very harsh critic Yeah Who am I the harshest critic on most of the time? me me I don't spend my time criticizing others you know, I Was brought to this Video and it was so contrary to what I believe in that I had to You know watch it offer my comments and and I think for the good of the group that's the folks that follow My lead from a daily perspective and in the viper group and want to understand my tutelage and coaching With regard to my perspective on certain injects You know look at it this way. I I said Three months ago that when the market started to roll off that all of the material That they had in the closet for many many months If not many many years would be pulled out And they start selling that propaganda youtube is no different. Okay, it's no different As interested as you can be in the propaganda that's available out there As good as you can package it up and deliver it to people as if it's your own It's not you can find this information anywhere you want free of charge on the internet You can read about the interest rates Emergency meeting coming up next week and be interesting to understand the renderings of that meeting It is what it is We're fine Gave my audio cast in the viper group this this week and Like I don't I don't really understand man.  Lockheed martin is good Got a got a little geopolitical tension. We haven't had some of that for a little while. You know what I mean North korea seemingly fell off the grid there for the last two and a half years So we didn't have anything to talk about there. Um, you know as covet rolls off We're gonna have to find something else to sell to people So we can continue to generate the fear in people, right? It's better to keep people afraid because they're easily controlled and shepherded You know you keep them in the swim line that you want to keep them into Could you imagine a whole world of empowered individuals like me walking around? Shit, that's the beauty of youtube. I get to share my philosophy with people That's why they come in and they're like, oh, yeah, right. You're the man.    It's okay. All right Be scrutinizing of the information that you that you bet. Okay 99.9% of the information and morals that I follow they're mine They're mine. They're not anybody else's I'm a hard guy to persuade If there's any persuasion there to be had Unlocks to have been to a program if it aligns with my program fantastic My advice to you is find your personal brand and outline and define your own program Which is what some of these other guys are doing What watch and invest watch a video from from kyle or or matt You know or j jason j mac investing that those are the three that are probably the closest to my network That have their own style of delivery, but they've done a good job in defining their own personal brand and their own personal style Matt really presses. He's doing some really good things. I'm impressed by his work on twitter I'm impressed by his work on tick tock and eventually the dam will open up He's putting too much pressure on the on the system not to get noticed And and he deserves it because he's just a really really incredible investing mind And you know the the ironic part about it is that's the guy that deserves two million subscribers Am I wrong? I don't know man You just get a sense of sincerity. Maybe i'm maybe i'm off base I I think the guy's just got the biggest heart to everybody. He's a badass investor. He's really good He's really good investor. I don't know. Maybe it would be kind of cool If you were looking to blindly follow somebody follow somebody that actually knows what they're doing Holy shit, just amazing man If there's any question with regard to their motivation or their intent Uh Find something else. Okay, but always come back home man. Always keep it Keep it home Pick out that there's things that matt does that I don't do. Okay, and that's okay There's things I do that matt doesn't do And kyle and jason and every every other of the of the group here patrons and subscribers to the channel Things that they pick up little nuggets tidbits of of of information I you know, I would be hard pressed to say that I don't know if kyle Is is a dollar cost averaging guru like I am, you know You know diversification if you were to ask him what his definition of that Might be a little bit differently explained doesn't mean either one of us are right or wrong by my course And and it doesn't mean that It just means that their interpretation of it is what they've taken Um as as as meaning something to them something that they can Really relate with and they can apply in their own personal application And and that's kind of what I look for to be honest with you and the interesting part about it is those guys have the results to garner On the investing side. Okay, I find it interesting and and I've talked about this too being the sleight of hand Is that some of these big youtubers go come on and they profess as if the youtube earnings Let me double down the youtube earnings is part of their stock portfolio ability. Okay No, no, it's it's all collective one.  Give me a Tylenol that I've ever seen It's it's insane man I had it explained by one of my vipers who's in the group here I got jamie says it was like watching nails on a chalkboard And that's I was like, dude, this guy doesn't seem happy to me, man You know, it's like did you you got a you got a family? What are you doing? What are you doing? Just take a step back take a leave of absence from youtube.  That's your that's what you were put here to do you know There's social media clips that are floating around about as admission to not know in the first fm thing about the stock market or stocks or anything The general but if you can sell something to somebody man sell that shit There's tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of people out there that will buy your crap No doubt about it And again, please double check your pockets and make sure that i'm not reaching in there and pulling out $5.95 for you to consume the content that you're consuming this evening on the live stream No indeedy indeedy deweedy. It's free of charge, right? So the the value is there to be had I don't know, you know, maybe i'm maybe i'm a cynic Right Maybe it's just because i'm unburned a few times. I guess by people that I just had 100 trust with So i'm a lot more guarded You know, I wish I could be a lot more open With people's ideas opens.  He sure is. Yep. He's subscribed to his channel, man You will not find Probably a more sharp duo of younger investors Then matt and kyle. Yep That's the truth These guys are real good and They'll they'll kill it someday and you know, it's cool too because kyle can provide A little bit of the pedigree of what type of Maybe not so much energy I wouldn't charge somebody with sharing in the energy that that guy brings to the table because Yeah, I don't know where he gets it. I think it's fabulous I I think it's he's he's He's pulsed into the same energy that you get by a a business opportunity Right and I think that's something really really special and You can't be lackadaisical about about business.  It's just that simple and I sense a ferocity with those guys and I have the utmost respect for them. I really do. It's good to know them. That's for sure They do relate Really well with the younger crowd So I charge them with you know Making sure that they understand that the message that they put out is being received by probably a younger audience than the ones that I garner Right.   Okay, so you can think about a few things again It's not monetary if you don't like the information leave. It's it's no problem. It's not about the money You're not paying to subject your time to my scrutiny. Okay You're doing it electively. All right. This is free. I could charge for this Because it's invaluable. All right. I am wired different If I thought that people were wired more like me, I wouldn't do this message because I'd be like Hey, it's all it's all right, man We got a bunch of killers in this world The fact of the matter is we don't we have very very few wolves and a whole hell of a lot of sheep It's just that simple and the sheep always want to just seemingly fall in line I hate to use that analogy with people because I've seen People that surprise me I say for the most part people don't surprise me in so far as Yeah, you're you're really not Interested in anything other than just surviving living life being healthy. Whatever it is. No problem I'm not here to judge but for those people that are looking to do more Every now and then I come across a few people in my daily interactions through social media They surprised the hell out of me and they're like man Ryan's touching on a nerve here, man. I do kind of feel like I I maybe want to do more Is it possible? Yeah, it is And for human beings, man, the the power of the human mind is a wonderful wonderful thing And if you can just tap into that, you know, it it's amazing the power of A mental mindset going forward and the ability to change The very reality for yourself and the cool thing is is when you start to taste that Successful mindset that is just in your mind when you start to taste that in reality That's the exciting part because what are we looking to do here? Are we looking to engage in a fairy tale world where you know? I'm king ryan with a hat and a cane and buy my course And all you have to do is just follow me and I'll provide you bread and water Out in the streets and and everybody will be happy. No, I don't I don't believe that I think personal empowerment is so much more so much more than that and I think From the lowliest of sources The potential to create great things is inherently there across all people.  Let's jump into the portfolios man.  It feels good. It feels good to chill Absolutely came home.  I could breathe. Yep powerful. Yeah for the longest time, man I've been up at five o'clock in the morning man doing my workout I tell you what if you want to put yourself into the badass category Like the successful mindset category Do it. I know there's some people in the group who don't like when I talk like that I know they're like, man.   Yeah, you you you can not like that about me. No problem You have to preserve The very essence of your your well-being you have to It's incredible.  It's not like that man. It's it's extremely important Your quality of life will thank you.  You want to know why? Because I'm coaching I do jujitsu With my daughter four times a week, man Coach and the kid I'm being available. I do this Friday live stream And that's the level of devotion that I'll give to an audience that I don't know 95 percent of you guys But I deliver the product for the good of doing so right super important I still have the ability to Enjoy a nice bourbon and coke Life is good, baby Life is good. Let's take a look at some portfolios Took profits and Lockheed martin today Unfortunate to have to do that just brutal times Anytime I have the ability to um take a little profit You know the established positions that I wanted to take here. I've already taken in tqqq. That was a nice addition to this compliments the bti Nice and nice and good with the technology the triple levered there Everything else is a go blackstone group. I've got the nestled in here And you know, these are all buildings. I'm just in a holding pattern right now in the portfolio Holding patterns as far as perspective and investing they can last months. They can last years I've been on the holding pattern for most of 2021 And I'll continue it into 2022 until something shakes loose. Uh, you know, I could have just given up on oil Years ago, but I didn't I'm almost back in the black with royal Dutch shell And um, it did liquidate some big oil I've got the smaller positions in exxon mobile and chevron in the dividend portfolio that I'll chronicle for you guys But I did liquidate those took some great profits and chevron and exxon today So the opportunity to take a little profit in the down market man was attractive to me to put a little buffer into the portfolio Lean into some of these positions that I've taken here as of late that of course has been caught up in the uh, the the um The downturn that we've incurred it's been the market's been brutal I think you can agree with that I own disney fantastic by my course You don't need to it's free of charge by pepsi. There's a good piece of advice sell your whole portfolio, man You'll sleep easy for like two nights and then you'll be like what the f did I do? Great. I followed this guy meet kevin who's been investing all of 2.2 years Should have followed the independent investor channel actually should have Want to know the truth of it. We're down just to touch here. You can see the spark line. We're down week over week a little bit the portfolio no big deal I talked to my kyle again before right before coming live stream and it was nice conversation I will share his sentiment about Building the cash it's something that I footstamp all the time on the on the channel. It's something that Is nice to footstamp when You're not doing it out of necessity But it's something that I do all the time and I've already put some of that capital to work I'm happy to do so my dollar cost average schedule Does not change Okay, and the dollar cost average is really keeping those passive investments Nicely in the game Super happy about it. This is my active portfolio guys that i'm declaring to you now Okay, uh Roth one here No big changes the black rock Is the most recent of changes in here everything else is Is the same as as tip as normal. I'm gonna holding pattern with the portfolios This is down just a little bit week over week. It's come off a little bit 1098 98 You know Highly honest holding in there at the four dollar level Uh, you know, it's got earnings. I'm gonna try to get a question out through You know, I don't know why rick if he doesn't already have I see rick schnellman in the group here Good friend of mine good friend of the channel. Um, he's vip on the channel as far as I'm concerned but um And a good guy to know in the community the highly on community as well But um, I I have plans to ask two questions on the call And the questions are going to be very very simple. Uh, I I'm going to ask Where his Where he gets the insight in what he's hearing back and feedback from the uh fleets to derive at his bullish sentiment on how Wide accepted the product will be from the fleets and to comment on the disconnect between the market that is pricing highly on right now at uh at the liquidation value So the disconnect is very real and I'll pose the question to Make sure that he comments on what he is seeing as a bullish thesis internally but also to acknowledge the disconnect and the Neon green elephant in the room, which is the stock market not buying The bullish thesis as of now as the company has zero and zero sales on the the second question will be about oem integration It was mentioned on the q2 call I've heard no progress On any type of advancements made on the front of oem integration outside of their existing relationship with peter belt Which is a good one But the caveat is very very simple highly on will not succeed I will repeat they will not succeed if they cannot Go from low scale production to mass scale production Even on the lower end of of that spectrum, which I start at about 2,500 units per year to keep the lights on at highly on And they're nowhere near that they they have not garnered enough interest and I don't understand Any progress that's been made. I believe that there has been But we're not made preppy to that and I would love to have thomas heli's comments on The oem front the integration that's being made When we could potentially look to scale up from low scale production into mass scale production At some point in the future and what progress has have been made toward that end Those will be my questions on the call Ryan independent investor cornerstone capital solutions.  Nobody Just a guy Drinking some jimping on a Friday with you guys having fun worked hard this week Went to jiu-jitsu We got to sock our game tomorrow People are leaving the live stream. I'm out of here.  He's way too normal for me I want to be entertained.  He's not showing me the way to riches overnight He says that's not possible. I make a differ No changes here in the portfolio like I said royal dot shell is is up I did remove xon mobile. I've been swing trading xon mobile To some degree of success. It's been interesting. It it goes up one day and it sells off the next It's very very predictably channelable channelable and I've been channeling the hell out of xon mobile. I've made some killer money No doubt about it could have just held it long, but I didn't I've been kind of just squeezing the juice out of it because I I map talked about this a little bit sweet another one of the themes of his messages that I I I resonated with everybody's pile into the oil right now, which is like, okay. Yeah, it could go to 100 but The the time to buy oil would have been the time that I and he said he was doing it I I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I was as well Wrote it all the way down into the downturn was buying into the downturn and and I made my killer money. I'm good All the easy money with oil has been made. I agree with that sentiment for sure I don't understand why all these people now are becoming bullish on xon mobile at $80 a share When it was at $37 and 50 cents some year and a half ago 18 months ago anyway I don't know go figure buy high solo right guys buy my course All right there's the etf portfolio off 200 bucks week over week so If nothing else you guys can extrapolate of a range of risk tolerance That you could deploy with the use of these portfolios Get you used to okay. How much in a down market does a $20,000 portfolio suffer This was down a couple hundred bucks and for some new investors. They may look at that and be like damn $200 that's like four video games or I don't know maybe two video games for what you guys are playing now Or whatever it is that you can take. I don't look at $200 the same as you do I don't look at $1,000 the same as you do and I don't look at 10,000 or even 100,000 the same as you do anymore okay, I have gravitate graduated to a better place in my Stewardship and my application with how I look at the opportunity Of dollars invested and that's just that's just it try to teach people along that spectrum that evolution of you know growing into a more advanced understanding of your money Okay, and invested dollars. You cannot be excited when they act like invested dollars Here's the dividend growth portfolio. This is awesome. I get a dividend paid out of this is off hundred bucks values holding in quite nicely mixed earning reports, but the projections are actually quite good Read some reports that they're actually calling for the contrary Entering into a supercycle That's part of my independent research. I guess if I fell in line with all of the pundits I guess I could just sell everything and I don't know buy my course I get just like swipe my credit card as quickly as I could to spend that $1,500 on A few courses on youtube to try to save my ass, but I tend to take a step back. Take a deep breath. I'm good Thanks.  I'm not going anywhere I you know what I'm gonna quit youtube, right?  I'm off You should quit your channel. Okay. I'm not going anywhere. You can leave I'll continue to teach financial stewardship and up and down markets, man You want to know why I seemingly understand something about the stock market that a lot of young investors and old investors alike Don't understand about the stock market and that is this he either goes up or down I understand that.

advance of stage 3 tomorrow. In relation to Mr Cole-Hamilton's point, on weekly reporting of deaths in care homes, this has been heavily reliant on accurate reporting by care homes. The official statistics published by National Records of Scotland are now well established, which includes data on care homes. I therefore urge members not to support amendment 18, but I give the assurance that I will explore the point that Gillian Mackay has raised. In relation to amendment 30, this is one of the amendments that I would like Parliament not to proceed with so that the Government can reflect on that to include wider scrutiny of the reporting requirements that can be put on the face of the bill to enhance the existing reporting arrangements that we have in place. There have been a number of requests for us to enhance reporting requirements. I would like the opportunity to consolidate those requests and to ensure that the reporting requirements can be put into the bill at stage 3 to ensure that Parliament is properly updated and advised of performance against the requirements of the legislation. I therefore urge Pam Duncan-Glancy not to press amendment 30 on the basis that I will bring forward reporting requirements in stage 3 tomorrow.  Craig Hoy's contribution suggested, and I am sure that he did not mean to do that, a degree of complacency, because there is nothing normal about the pandemic. Care homes suffered the very worst of deaths, and Parliament put in place reporting mechanisms because we believed that they were needed. There is the possibility of new surges and new variants, and care homes are vulnerable in that context. However, I understand that there may be capacity issues. I find favour with Gillian Mackay's suggestion, and on the basis that the cabinet secretary does too. I am happy not to press amendment 18, and I hope that he will be able to consider this and bring something back tomorrow. Jackie Baillie seeks to withdraw amendment 18.

Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Amendment 25, in my name, is another reporting procedure around the report on social distancing requirements that remain in place and the permissibility of live music, limitations on indoor and household gatherings. Today, a Government-inspired question was already referred to by Jackie Baillie, which extended opening times for hospitality in Euro 2020. That has caused the stress from the hospitality sector that we are not able to benefit from those provisions. Amendment 25 is asked for a report detailing the progress made towards ending restrictions at weddings, permissibility of live music and limitations on indoor gatherings. The Scottish Wedding Industry Alliance said yesterday's announcement will not be the guidance that everyone wanted. We are also disappointed regarding dancing, which is something that we campaign for. We are continuing conversations to ask for the new guidance to go live on the Friday dates and will carry on fighting for everyone. On the yesterday, a constituent wrote to me not the first one, who is due to get married very soon, said that some leeway on the restrictions would certainly make some sense. All things considered, especially as most of the wedding party at this wedding will be fully vaccinated and sure that that should count for something. This couple have hired a DJ, which is costing almost £3,000 and a large deposit already paid. When we thought at the end of June, we would have the easing of restrictions. The constituent said that it is not as if it is going to be a rave with some cringy dancing for a couple of hours. I am only quoting here. We are all thinking of the weddings that we have been at, where there has been some cringy dancing. However, a lot of enjoyment. Also, with indoor social distancing being reduced to one metre, you would be closer to a stranger on the bus than you would having a dance. Anyway, he knows that I was going to do that out to give you all a laugh, so he is perfectly okay with that. It is a serious question. I asked many couples and people in the wedding sector and events what is the reason that people cannot dance until the 19th of July? Is it really going to be such a high risk? I hope that the cabinet secretary would give us some indication. What are the clinicians saying that the risk really is? For the sake of nine days in this case, there has simply been a big difference to this couple's weddings. I am asking the Government to be focused on this. That is why I am asking for the supporting procedures. There is also a lack of clarity about some of the issues. I think that a report before Parliament might clarify that. We had some announcements yesterday. Those announcements are very welcome. For example, the lifting of restrictions on bands from 28 June is very welcome by the sector, but there seems to be some need for clarity around some of it. Today, Hyder Band told me that it reported that a cancellation of a Caley band is obviously because you cannot dance, and that is the purpose of a Caley band. However, it is causing some confusion because bands do not know whether they are not to simply take the cancellation fee or to take another day, and it seems a little bit arbitrary. Wedding receptions, of course, are the main thing, but, of course, pubs and clubs that rely on live entertainment are also keen to have that back. I think that a reporting mechanism after 9 August would give some clarity because I think that the Government in its reporting would be required to see what restrictions if any are left in place. Lastly, there is nothing said about what it means for night clubs after 9 August. I hope that that could be included in the reporting procedure. England, Northern Ireland and Wales mentioned night clubs in the statement, but Scotland did not. What does that mean for live music venues and promoters? I believe that reporting on those restrictions will give some clarity to the sector that they really need, but it would also focus the Government's minds on some of the things that perhaps they have not thought about, which is important to the live music sector. I call Alex Cole-Hamilton. I rise briefly to offer support to Pauline McNeill's amendment. It offers some hope to the sector and a signal that this Parliament finally has the wedding industry at the centre of its attention. There are thousands of couples across Scotland who have had the best day of their lives deferred or cancelled, and in some cases more than once, often to the costs of tens of thousands of pounds because of the decisions of this chamber and this Government. I think that it is only fair that, if we adopt a reporting duty as Pauline McNeill's amendment prescribes, we will actually send a very important signal, but concentrate the minds of the ministers responsible for coming to these decisions so that, when we get situations, like we had last week, when much of Scotland expected to go down to level 1 but was kept in level 2 and we, at a stroke, had to halve the number of wedding guests at many weddings around the country, those will be considered, and the reporting will happen to this Parliament. So we are happy to support Pauline McNeill's amendment. I am grateful to Pauline McNeill for bringing this amendment because it is a very challenging part of the debate. The issues that Pauline McNeill raises, whether they are about weddings or about the impact on the live music sector or on venues as a whole, are issues of significance that I accept. I had a very helpful conversation this morning with representatives of the city of Glasgow city centre task force on which many live music venues were represented. A number of the points that Pauline McNeill has made were raised in that discussion. The idea that, somehow, those issues are not on the Government agenda, I would want to reassure Pauline McNeill that that concern is not valid. The Government has wrestled with those questions because none of us want to be in the situation of having to disrupt or delay the life plans of individuals at these really important moments in their lives. However, we do have clinical advice and guidance that informs the decision making that we have taken. The First Minister set out yesterday our hope subject to the continued progress and the meeting of the caveats that we have set out, that the current physical distancing requirements for one metre physical distancing will end once the country goes into level zero. Beyond that, we will remove all restrictions. There is, I think, a very clear pathway for the sector to understand the changes that are now going to be made. We are allowing live entertainment of weddings from 28 June. Obviously, if there are particular additional circumstances of the type that Pauline McNeill has raised quite specifically, if she would write to me about that, I would happily consider what can be done in some of those circumstances. I will give way to Pauline McNeill. I appreciate, cabinet secretary, giving way. I am really trying to get as much clarity as possible. I can, and I do appreciate that there is a lot to consider. Does that mean that, after 9 August, live music can be played without restrictions in pub venues, for example, as well as weddings? It looks like to me as if it can. I was thinking that we could get some clarity around this that we did not get yesterday. The short answer to Pauline McNeill is yes, but there will be other considerations in terms of mitigating measures, such as ventilation and wider hygiene requirements, which might well go with such an approach. I do not want to give a signal that we are going back to a pre-Covid situation where there is absolutely no wider consideration. There will be some conditions that have to be prepared. Indeed, those were issues that I discussed at length with the Glasgow City Centre task force this morning. Over the course of the next few weeks, we have to go through some detailed dialogue with the live music sector and with the weddings industry to just make sure that we cover off all the issues that need to be covered off. I give Pauline McNeill the assurance that that will be done in dialogue with the sector. On that basis, I would ask her not to press the amendment that is before Parliament today. I will again reflect on that. It is one of the reporting requirement amendments that I have agreed that I will reflect on. I do not think that the issues that Pauline McNeill wants to have answered needs a piece of legislation to enable that to be the case. It needs us to respond constructively to the legitimate issues that she has raised. I will undertake to do that in preparation for the stage 3 debate tomorrow. There will be on-going dialogue with the sector, which I confirm that the Government will engage in constructively in the weeks to come. Pauline McNeill, to wind up and press or withdraw amendment 25. I do genuinely welcome what the cabinet secretary has said. That is what I am trying to do, is seek some clarity. I am sure that the cabinet secretary will note, as she did meet with the wedding sector yesterday, that this is a sector. The wider sector has felt that engagement could be a lot better with the night-time economy and the hospitality sector. Perhaps we are making some important progress. On that basis, I would ask the cabinet secretary to reflect on what I was trying to achieve. There would be no harm in allowing some reporting. The mitigation measures, for example, would make sense. It is what you would expect. Of course, I would, yet. I am grateful to Pauline McNeill for giving way. Let me reiterate the two points. The first is that the Government is actively engaging with the sector. My colleagues have done a lot of work over the course of the whole Covid period. In my new responsibilities, I give the absolute assurance that that will be the case across all those areas. Secondly, the reporting requirements that I reflect on for preparation for the stage 3 debate are designed to ensure that Parliament receives proper and full reports on all aspects of the application of the legislation. That can be featured in those reporting requirements. Pauline McNeill I know what the cabinet secretary has said, but I again ask him to acknowledge that, outwith his own responsibility, the sector has been critical. I am only asking, going forward, that the wider diverse sector, which hospitality is of course a diverse sector with live music, all the risks attached to that, I just want to push the Government to ensure that we have the closest engagement, the closest level of clarity as we move out and easing restrictions. On that basis, Presiding Officer, I am not going to press my amendment 25. Thank you. Pauline McNeill seeks to withdraw amendment 25. Does any member object? Amendment 25 is withdrawn. The question is that the schedule be agreed to, are we all agreed? Amendment 26, in the name of Paul Sweeney, already debated with amendment 14, Paul Sweeney, to move or not move? In light of the Government's commitments to bring forward amendments at stage 3, I will not move, but I reserve the right to bring back the amendment if it is not sufficient. Amendment 27, in the name of Pauline McNeill, already debated with amendment 4, Pauline McNeill, to move or not move? I call amendment 28, in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy, already debated with amendment 17. On the basis of the commitment by the Cabinet Secretary to report, I will not move this amendment. I call amendment 29, in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy, already debated with amendment 17. Pam Duncan-Glancy, to move or not move? Similarly, I will not move. Thank you. I call amendment 30, in the name of Pam Duncan-Glancy, already debated with amendment 18. Pam Duncan-Glancy, to move or not move? Again, I will not move and I would like to thank the chamber for their support for that amendment. Thank you. The question is that section 6 and 7 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Yes. The question is that the long title be agreed to, are we all agreed? Yes. That ends stage 2 consideration of the bill and concludes the meeting, this meeting of a committee of the whole Parliament and I close this meeting of the committee of the whole Parliament and there will now be a very short suspension.


Hello everybody, we are talking about the feet elevated push-up now. So if traditional push-ups are kind of easy for you or you want a way to train your shoulders a little bit more and your chest a little bit less, maybe you're looking for some upper chest more than the broader lower part of your chest. Inclining your feet off the ground is a good way to do that. So this turns a push-up, a traditional push-up is kind of like a decline or maybe a flat bench. The feet elevated version is more like an incline bench. So I've got my trusty coffee table here behind me, hopefully it holds up. Same ideas right?  Every time I do push-ups my glasses fall down, one time they fell just this week. They fell like this and my eyeball got poked by the thing. I should have just taken them off, I don't know why I didn't, I'm just dumb, okay. So this is the feet elevated push-up, good for shoulders, good for progressing yourself just in general, give it a shot.
