We know the Oilers uniforms have been a massive hit with everybody. So look Amy Adam Strunk is wearing her Nice that is so well done for this interview. Thank you. Thank you. I thought if I'm gonna talk about the uniforms I need to have you've got it. Have you been surprised at all by the response? I'd say yes and no I mean I go around town and I'm sure everybody sees me in this cap all the time and they're like We have to talk about the uniforms. It's so it's really fun and it's from restaurants at a grocery store Just just being about town and people are really pumped Did you start working on this almost immediately after the NFL said you could wear a second helmet thus allowing for the Oiler helmet to be worn It was all about the helmet because our Navy helmet would not have worked With this it just wouldn't have been right so as much as I wanted to start the process because it's a two-year process With Nike once you get going I had to wait for the NFL to change the rule where we could have two helmets There were six different incarnations of the Oilers you chose the final one, which was the 1981 through 1998 the Tennessee Oilers wore the same thing What was it about that look this look that you thought would be the right ones to bring back this year? I went all the way back to the first years and Honestly the love you blew I loved that uniform But the love you blew had the gray face mask and I really liked the red face mask And so really that's kind of what drove that because the uniforms over the year. Yes way back They were way different But as it evolved this one kind of was a lot like the love you blew and in previous It was just an easy choice to go with the helmet I like yeah, the red face mask is so great because they can wear the red shoes. Yes, it does It looks unbelievable great and the once we kind of went with that era the love you blew on the back You know that was just a nod to that error to those guys So this is the 25th anniversary of the Tennessee Titans ironically the Oilers uniforms come back out at the same time Silver anniversary of the franchise the people who love the Titans are excited about that and yet They're embracing this part of the history as well. What does that mean to you? It means so much to me because you know as I've said before I grew up with the Oilers I was six years old when I went to my first game and I love these guys. I love all the the teams through the years the you know excitement they had and When we came to Tennessee, it was well We needed to you know get our own history going and I knew that was what was happening But I really felt like a lot of these players got left by the wayside And I wanted to embrace them and bring them back into the family That was very very important to me. You have clearly done that and now the former Oilers are Embracing the Titans legacy. What do you think turned them around? Well, I think you know the the last couple of reunions They saw the fans as they were you know walking around the fans the Titan fans were high-fiving them and really All of a sudden they saw hey We have a family here. They they are loving the history. History is important I mean we had some legendary players on those Oiler teams and and I think our fans appreciate that You know Dr. Doom Robert Brazil Dan Pastarini Earl Campbell all those guys You know we can embrace that as much as Eddie and Steve and you know Derek Henry I mean they're all legendary. Yes 63-year history of the franchise the Oilers uniforms are back It's the 25th anniversary of the Titans So did you set out with all this in mind was this a master plan or has all of this burst just hit? Organically, I you know what it just the timing worked out perfectly So sometimes things just happen for a reason and this is just great timing. Well, this is season 64 for the franchise Season 68 will be in a new stadium So as we go into all of that we can count on an Oiler and a Titans and all of it presents, correct? Oh, absolutely. I'd you know the the older guys have already told me they're gonna be there every year So yes, absolutely.  It's gonna be exciting fun time. Thanks for taking the time Oh, you're welcome. My pleasure. Love being here


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trading Hour with your host, David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. And welcome everyone to another exciting edition of the Power Trading Hour with me. You're humble, lovable and squeezibly soft. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. And as we start to show off the S&Ps off 12, the Dow's down 87, Nasdaq's off 42, the Russell up almost 4, 376. On other things going on out there, gold's up about 10 bucks at $13.22. Still in kind of this trading range, silver a little better off a little over 1%, Platinum up 1.4%, and Mr. Copper not looking good, still under that $3 mark where you really see the bull market start in that $2.85 and 6 tenths of 1 cent. What else do we have happening? Well, just kind of a weekday pushing down so far. When we look at the volumes on the day, we're about 4.1 billion shares. So a whole lot, no, very light, no, kind of in the middle. There's a couple of ETFs and indexes that are right on the line, which is kind of what I like because you could step in there and have incredibly tight margins in a market that's very choppy. So we see a few of these things pop back in before the end of the day. That tells you one thing, they lose it. That tells you yet another. So we'll see how the end of the day comes in. I thought maybe we'd get a little bounce today. You still may get one before the end of the day. We're going into fund buying, of course, at the end of the week. You know, we'll normally get a couple of days with some push down before, like we're having today. I thought maybe we'd start leveling out the pricing of some rather large IPOs starts tomorrow night and Wednesday night. There's going to be more than a couple. So we need to see exactly how that's going to sort itself out. And that's about it. We've got kind of a quiet week. We'll look at what other earnings are coming out, but I really didn't see anything that I thought would move the market as much as some other stuff. So what do we got? Well, kind of a hurry up and wait. Have you ever been in the military? That's it. Hurry up and wait. Get ready to go. You can give me call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can email me at pathTFNN.com. And of course, you can always leave a message in the den. First question of the day is, what do I think today's going to do? I think the S&P could end up closing flat out here. I think this is a lot of jitter, but it doesn't have, at least so far, the smell of blowing up, which I thought maybe we would have. Now, maybe that changes before the end of the day. And of course, the last 30 minutes are always the most important of the day. That's where the big volume comes in. We see what the big whales are doing, not as tiny little minnows in the great ocean. I love the fact that they named the boat in Gilligan's Island the minnow. This seems rather appropriate, doesn't it? You never know. Anyway, what else is happening? Apple is out doing their little dance on the catwalk, on the catwalk, doing their little dance on the catwalk, and releasing their new streaming service. And of course, they kind of ran it up into this and now wouldn't be surprised to sell a little bit of the news. And of course, the market getting a little weaker at the same time. So we shall see. And we'll see. Again, volume, not all that exciting. Does that mean that we couldn't move up a little bit more or down a little bit more? It could be. Dollar is right underneath that 96th level, but still in this kind of trading range, 95, 95 and a half, which is down about two tenths of a percent, 19 cents. So is there anything to really hang your hat on here? No, some of the weaker stocks continue to be sold off. And we'll kind of look at that, but a couple of them look like maybe they could bounce over the next few days. So we'll get an idea on that. And I got a request to look at Apple and some of the other stuff. So we will do that also have a request to look on Intel. And we will do that, too, in the next segment or maybe in the end of the segment. Let's get our history in for the day. And then, you know what we'll do? We'll move on. On this day in 1957, France, West Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg. Got to remember Luxembourg. I walked across it about five minutes. It's that big. A treaty in Rome establishing the European economic community, also known as the Common Market, the EEC, which became an operation in January in 1958 was a major step in Europe's movement toward economic and political union. And of course, later this grew into the Euro zone. But, you know, they really wanted everybody to exact have the same laws, everything else. And I think in the end, the common currency and laws that are the exact same all over the Euro is the intimate demise because people are a lot different. The areas are a lot different and they need a different governing body or at least somebody that represents them. They used kind of destined to fail because basically what happened was whatever your local representative was supposed to do means nothing to a bunch of people that are just appointed over in Belgium and kind of destined to fail or become a giant, what would you call it? I want to say communism on a little better level, but it just seemed like no matter what happened, you were just screwing over people in one place to have another place. And of course, having the same laws in every country, always kind of tough, always marveled at the Vatican, where the age of consent is 12, never knew that the Vatican was the Alabama of Europe, but apparently it is. And on the stick, apologies to people from Alabama, I like this, I like the state. On this day in 1957, kind of the predecessor to the EU got started. When we come back, we'll look at Apple, then we'll go to Intel, just have plenty of time to call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and then we'll get in with a lot of stocks and charts for the day.

Kind of a sell the news, I think, and of course a little bit of the weakness in the general markets. I don't think that there's that much to be had in Apple. I've said this for two years and they've tried, you know, the video streaming service and didn't get any spin. Apple absolutely destroyed the music business and they kind of act like they didn't. Now, maybe someone else is going to come along, but Apple used its position to screw over a lot of folks. And for the last two years, maybe even three years, as Apple's tried to get into the video business, most of those people that were screwed over took ads out in Variety Magazine, which is kind of the magazine of Hollywood. And the music people got their licks in. You like that? Let's see what I did there. Anyway, they got their licks in and warned everybody in Hollywood about... I can't say that. A lot of things I'd like to say, just couldn't get them by the sensors, I don't think.  We're making about one-tenth the money we made in 2006 before the iPhone really came out. iPod was okay, but as soon as they got the phone and everybody had one device, that was it. They absolutely... Instead of selling an album for 15 bucks, you sold one song and you got 99 cents. The artist may have gotten a quarter. So there just wasn't any money to be made. You buy somebody's album, then maybe you're going to go to the concert, everything else. So the whole ripple thing was a ripple down or trickle down thing was horrific for the music business. Much less the incredibly poor way that everybody in that industry was treated. So this is like the third time Apple's come around and tried to make a streaming service. They've had Apple TV for a while and of course they're trying to push a credit card, which is like the second or third time around. On that one, man, what's called the third time around. So you got kind of all those issues coming back into it. Man, that's about it. Anyway, that's it for Apple. Support comes back in at about 184. But I think there was a lot of sell the sizzle, not the steak. You got the steak today, and I think a lot of people, especially over the weekend, I saw some of those ads targeting anybody that wanted to do business with Apple and warning them of the dreadnought that would crush them if they let it be. Okay. Next, we go on to our question from Pete in San Francisco that wanted to look at Intel, INTC. As I said, in the very short term, there was a bounce coming in to Intel because they got a CFO to become a CEO, something I desperately hate in the long term. In the short term, it always means the stock probably hangs out and goes sideways. Sometimes investors like that in a way that they can get out and hopefully sell their shares to the bigger fool that comes along. Intel, not a bad company, not going out of business. Just think of 2005 to 2013 or 14 of Microsoft just going sideways. They had somebody who really wanted to do something with a company. I liked the direction he was taking. They dredged up something 10 years ago, and the CEO in almost a game of thrones-like position actually did crush the CEO for something that happened 10 years ago and got him tossed out, and then got appointed temporarily and now permanently. Weasels like that. Just know eventually all comes crashing down. I was barely bullish on Intel for a while, but their decision to have poor leadership and in fact they couldn't even find somebody else to take the job because everybody was afraid that exactly the same thing would happen to them and that would be they'd find anything they could to get this guy to get a new CEO thrown out and a new one put in that was probably the same guy that's there now. If you love boardroom controversy, maybe this is a stock for you. If you want to think this thing's going to 75, man, they got a lot of neat products, but this guy is killing off the ones that would probably do well. I just say that until they get rid of the current CEO and replace him with somebody that is a tech-savvy risk taker, the chance of it going up significantly, probably not huge. Weasels are a popular farm animal. I didn't know that. I always thought that they were vermin-like, but they never know. Everybody's got to fair it now. I know that. Is that fair to Weasel? I don't think so, is it? Yeah, we'll find out. Okay, so we got Intel. We got that for Pete, again, not a big fan. Well, we're kind of continuing to slide and I got some stocks that probably should have been down back to their previous lows, and they are not. We'll have to wait and see what happens at the end of the day, but certainly we continue to slide and another point there, 2785 on the S&P cash. So what else do we have? I wanted to go look at some scans from last week. Take a quick look at them. We'll go through some of these. I wanted to see if some of these stocks started to bottom. Applied Optoelectronics AOI going below the previous February 26 low, $12.90. Got into that with one million shares, so about a little more than fourth of the volume on Friday today down with 577,000 shares. This is a business that's always feast or famine, and right now it's famine. I'll see about other ones out here that we want to look at. I'll go through them as much as I could. Again, we're kind of thinking that we get a bounce before the end of the day. We shall see. And maybe we close up there at 2,800. Just kind of feels like they're kind of trying to push out these trades now. I don't see the volume of the energy behind it. It's not like it's vapor. I'm going to say it's 100% chance of a bounce, but it just seems kind of that way. Maybe this is where it starts. We're right around that 230 area where the ramp for the end of the day and a few of the buy orders could come in. So we'll keep an eye on. We'll come back. We'll look at a bunch more stocks. I hear the music. Oh, the beautiful music. We'll be back. David keeps his subscribers up to date with all pertinent market information with intraday afternoon updates when warranted.

Half points the Dow, let's update that, now down $85, down $44, and the Russell up $1.4. So, still the strongest of them all. Again, I suspect this is a little jitters going into what we have in the next few days, which is IPO pricing. And then, of course, we get to Friday, we get to fund buying started. So, kind of a little bit of a washout. Questions going to be what happens, I think, next week after we get the IPOs out, whether or not we, how far we get back up into the highs. But I do think now that we've got at least the economic conditions to run back up in the highs. The Fed kind of out of the way. There are going to be some wind in our sails. The political intrigue of the nothing burger that came out over the weekend. So, really, we have one thing, and that's the trade issues going forward. And of course, the political issues in the rear view mirror make that trade issue actually probably become a lot more probable than the cloud that's been over our heads for a while. You know, if I was in China, I'd probably do the same thing, which is wait, not really negotiate. And maybe things, maybe the ball bounces our way. We get a weaker president or something. I mean, if you're reading the headlines in your Chinese, maybe that's the way you think. Now they can't think that way. They know they're going to have to deal with somebody or face eventual tariffs and a much stronger bargaining position today. So the question is, how long does it take to get this deal done? Probably a lot less than it did a couple of days ago. And so we'll see. Anyway, we are right at levels like I said that make this kind of a do or die in a few of these indexes. So I think today we close at 2,800 or a little above on the S&P cash. I think we've got just a little push each day, but it's not uncommon for the stock, for at least the people in the stock market, the big men of Wall Street to save a lot of cash to gin up the market into IPO fever, especially when they have huge IPOs. They make more money off of mergers and acquisitions and IPOs than they do on everything else, which is the dirty little secret. Their business is not to make you rich. They're businesses to sell paper or put companies together and get a big conk out of it for themselves and other things. Now back to the charts already in progress. Over most of TFNN. And we're back up to 27.90 and a half. Wanted to look at Accenture. Again, I know how weak these run-ups from December 26th have been. We should have probably had some significant closes. We should have seen some volume come in. We have not seen that, which suggests that you at least get yet another bite at the Apple, not Apple computer, but just an Apple. In Accenture, I suspect maybe you get one more chance at that December 4th high. That's 168.37. That came in with three million shares. You test it with two million shares. It kind of came down on Friday a little bit today, but not much juice so far. So the question is whether or not you can get some volume the next time up through 168. It may not. Most of these companies are stalling out at these levels, by the way. Same thing with Amazon. When we look at it a couple of times into 170, or no, 1780, 1778, which is the December 3rd high, but there was one, a couple, about four bucks lower that with the same volume on November 8th. So you went through it without a sign of strength, i.e. big candle and some volume over the last four days. On Friday, it was down on about the same volume today. A little lower, 3.7 million shares so far. So you're not getting a lot of clues, but certainly not a lot of technical damage yet today. Got a question. What happened on Friday? Why the sell-off? There were a lot of people running around planting rumors, and a lot of people were spooked when the news came out that the Mueller report had been delivered. Everybody saw a boogeyman under the covers. I think that was partly it. We'll know if the market shrugs it all off in a day or so. Kay from Maryland. I want to short the stock. What do you know about it? SHOP. Well, a few things. Shopify is a company. A company that actually TFNN uses. They're kind of a back-in for a lot of websites that want to sell stuff. And you know what? So far, good is that they're easy to move your company into. The bad is that they're not probably as configurable as a custom solution, but that kind of makes sense, right? You've got something that works for a lot of people, but they may not have just the kind of features that you want. But if you want to have something set up that's fairly easy and for them to take care of most of the work of doing stuff, not a bad company. I'm not exactly sure why you want to go short. Maybe another email would tell me that. What you're looking for in this one, if you want to go short, would be a close back above a nine-day or three-by-three-displace-moving average. Let's do that so you can see the same thing. You've got your close below the three-by-three, right? One day above it, then the next day below it would be the trigger. The problem is that you've got about 15 bucks to the downside, which is about 86 bucks. I don't see that much in the way of massive downside. I think there are a lot of stocks that are worse off, but yeah, could you get to 186? I think you could on Shopify, but that's it. Let's go to, thanks Kay for Marilyn. Although I think she's moving to North Carolina, she said last week, let's get through a lot. Let's get through some of these migrations. Okay. And yes, Apple became a bank. I'm watching a few of these things run across the headlines. Okay. Let's go to the next one here. Aristonetworks, another one that rang the bell, and that was the 4 million share high of August 24th. That was $313 on that day with, like I said, 4 million shares. Got into it with 1.66 million shares. Pulled back the next day on just 460,000 shares today. Got about the same thing, 460,000 shares. Now you're just back into the trend line on the way back up. So not a lot has happened yet. Let's turn that off here. And you would really want to think this thing, friends. My guess is if you really bearish, we get one more push up here over the next week or so, and then the market falls apart. Now, I think that a lot of the tax selling, oh. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year, or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer, $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger First mortgage program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Distributor, Four Side Fund Services, LLC. And we're slowly climbing back up. Like I said, I kind of just felt like the sink's going to close around 2800 on the day. We'll see how the last 30 minutes come in because, of course, that's when the pros do their market-on-close orders, but it just doesn't seem like they go trying to press pricing on these IPOs if they thought the market was going to be closed. They'd put it off a week or two weeks or whatever. And certainly, everything I read says that this is still coming down the line. So, you know, get rid of all the weak hands in the market that you can, which is normally what they'll do. And then, of course, you get a lot of people short. You just kind of move the market up for a little bit. Shorts cover. Everybody feels like, you know, there's a lot of people that don't know what to do. Shorts cover. Everybody feels like it's happy days are here again. They price the IPO.  But until I hear some better information, it still looks like it could be four days or five days at any point from the start of a move higher that we could be back up at those 2950 levels if they push hard enough. Now, maybe, like we said, maybe you get up there and there's nothing, but maybe you get up there and all the volume comes in, trade deal comes on. And everybody does start singing happy days are here again. Aspen Technologies, AZPN. We see January 24th, 103, 48, one and a half million shares. Got into that on March 21st with 550,000 shares. So about a third back into the trading range. Not a lot of volume on the downside on Friday. Today, 336,000 shares so far. There is a thing I learned from Tim Ord, though, early on, and that is that the longer stocks hold up at previous highs, the more likely they're going to want to do things. One, gap up and away, or two, at least go up there one more time and spike and have a big interday candle that closes lower and gives you the signal that everything is going to fall apart. I do not see that. Got some questions about what's going on and Boeing.  And some people asked me why and emailed me over the weekend about why I'm not so much thinking that this is the end of the world for a Boeing company. One, they've got an excellent safety record. When we think about how many people have died in jet crashes compared to even 20 years ago, it's like a fourth. And are they responsible for this? They can be. They can't be. There's about four times as many flight hours as the ones in the United States that are then compared to the ones in third world countries. But basically we've got both plane accidents in third world countries where a lot of the options for safety equipment would the airlines would not pay for. So Boeing didn't put it on. A lot of that safety stuff is what they call an angle of attack indicator that's probably the problem here, which tells you how fast and hard at what angle you're flying in to the wind on. All the ones in the United States have two angle attack. And if they don't both agree, the system for stopping stalls turns off automatically. So you may have five seconds or so in the United States of one having, but apparently there wasn't a lot of discussion. And one of the reasons why there wasn't a lot of discussion in third world is they didn't want to tell pilots, hey, we weren't going to pay for all these new safety devices. And so there we got kind of a stripped down model that got the rubber floor mats. Doesn't have carpet roll up and down windows. It's not that bad, but that's kind of everything I've read so far. That's kind of the homing in. And of course they've got new software that they thoroughly check that comes in, I think on April 10th. So we're not that far away from it. Certainly we're back to this big gap up that goes back to the 30th of January, which is about almost 13 million shares. Now you came down on heavy volume of about 34 million shares, but since then it's been pretty light today. Again, an opportunity to blow out the lows. You had 10 million shares on Friday today is 5.6 million shares. So certainly had the ability to blow through these and if the market tanks, you could probably say that Boeing could take the next ladder down. But I think right now, unless the market does tank, we start closing, well we're at 2794 and a half now. If we get up that 2800 level, I suspect that Boeing, while you may not want to buy it yet, probably is faced the worst of its storm. As long as the market's with it, I think it's okay to do what else do we have? Okay, get a free French dip sandwich at Arby's. I don't know how that got into this email. That's it. Okay, good enough. I need to forward that to somebody. Give me call it<PHONE_NUMBER>. Anyway, we had Boeing. Let's go to BPR, which is Brookfield Property Reets. Certainly, these are looking a lot better over the last two or three weeks. These looked horrible. They didn't fall apart like I thought they would, mostly because the Fed outpushing this. February 12th, though, $20.37, 3.14159. I almost remembered all that from pie. Million shares were called 3.14 pie shares. Back into it went above it on March 21st with 2.67 million shares. So a little light, but a pullback. And again, today, so far, doji and not a lot of juice. So again, we had the opportunity for everybody to come back from a week where everybody had the jitters going into Friday and possible overthrowing of the government and the storm that did not come. Now, here's one that I find kind of interesting, and that is that you've had a couple of gaps down in the Brazil Bull 3x shares. This is BRZU. Had a gap down on Thursday. Friday, he came down, still had more volume. Today, though, a little bit less. You've got a gap at about 26, so you still have a little bit of damage that could still come out there. But not a lot of follow-through today, which is kind of interesting with the push down earlier in the day. $27.93 on the S&P catch. Okay, so what else do we have? Oh, keep an eye on that one. BCD. Brasilia, another Brasilia stock, actually coming back to support levels. This is back to the gaps back higher on the 10th of January. 868,000 shares back then. Got into it with 1.39 million shares. So you have to kind of watch out. Still, I don't know that about Brazil right now, but it's probably all about commodity pricing, which is what it's always is in Brazil.

Okay, yeah, let's take a quick look at Microsoft. Look at some of the biggies out here today. And I want to get to talking in just a couple of minutes we've got down here about earnings, which I haven't gotten to yet, so we want to do that. Okay. To Red Hat, which is, of course, being bought out by IBM, so I don't know if there's a lot there after the bell tonight. We'll get into tomorrow morning its carnival cruise lines. Right before the bell fax, that research. Again, none of these going to move the market. Probably more interesting to me is after the bell. And that is KB Homes on Tuesday. Shoe carnival. I never thought that a carnival and shoes went together, but apparently that is a thing. I've been into them. It's got like kind of a huckster thing going on. Wednesday morning we've got LaNar Homes at Home Group, Paychecks. That pretty much is a great deal of it. Lu Lu Mon after the bell on Wednesday. Thursday we get to Accenture. I think that's about it before the bell and after the bell a whole lot of nothing. Friday morning we get into Blackberry if you remember that company. CarMax on Friday. So again, not a lot happening this week that I think is going to move the market. Certainly not any of the big stocks. As we said before the break, we were looking at Microsoft did go over the previous high of 70 million chairs with 29 million chairs back into the trading range. But here's where you wanted to see this thing back in and some volume today. You have not gotten it. This is where the rubber meets the road and you didn't have much rubber or road either one. Not a big fan of shorting Microsoft. I do think eventually you get it back at 100 bucks though. But that may be a while. Maybe a long while. In the meantime, sell when you can, not when you have to.

So, all of us need to find our own way of creating content that is more natural for us, that is energizing for us, and that we can do consistently. I've talked about in the past the importance of that we should each be creating content on a regular basis, partly to further clarify our authentic voice and our best ideas, but also just in public service to the world because of what we've learned and also to attract our ideal audience to us. So, I'm going to share with you five ways today. And these are five ways, one of them might work really well for you and or something similar or something that's customized for you. I'm always happy to have a conversation underneath these in the comment section of these videos here whenever I can. So, first idea is to have a friend or client interview you on your area of expertise. We tend to be more natural in terms of sharing knowledge when we're in conversation with someone who's interested in our knowledge. So, maybe you might want to supply your friend or client with a list of questions to kind of seed the conversation. You know, and then she can take the conversation wherever it meets her curiosity, and so can you. Even though she asks a question, you can take your conversation in a different direction that you think is more useful for your ideal audience. And you could do this conversation privately over the phone, even over instant messaging, like over Skype. If you type it out, you know, that's a quick way to transcribe it is by having that instant messaging conversation. Or you can do it publicly, like I've done with several of my clients on my YouTube channel called Our Highest Work. If you go to YouTube and search Our Highest Work, you'll find that several of those interviews. So that's the first idea. The second idea is to go into Facebook groups where your ideal audience hangs out. Okay? In terms of how to find these Facebook groups, I'll do another video in the future about that. But go into groups and contribute to any thread where you have some area of expertise that you can, you know, contribute to a thread that is within your area of expertise.  And say what you liked about the article and what other related insight the article didn't address. And then you can turn these responses that you post in groups, comments you post in groups into a blog post for your website, short or long. Okay? The third idea is when clients or prospective clients email you, respond to them thoroughly and then turn that response to a blog post. So in the future if you get the same question from a client or prospective client, you can turn them and show them a link instead of having to respond again in the same way, right? Fourth idea is whenever you share, find an article that you want to share on social media, you know, written by someone else, within your field, share that article, but don't just share a link. Share three things about that article. One is why it's important. Two is what your favorite point from that article. And three is what's a related insight that the article doesn't address that you find is also important. Okay? Fifth way is to, when you do a daily walk, as I do with Buddy, take out your phone. Take out your, you know, if you have a video camera on your phone, which many, most smartphones do these days, and do a quick video like this, you know, think about the top three things within your air of expertise that you would love to teach the world. And every day do a four minute video teaching something about one of these three things. So I hope you'll find one of these five to be energizing for you and more natural for you to create content. For me, I don't love to write, so I love to do these daily videos. And then I, on my phone, I do a quick written summary of the video because I just, for courtesy, just for people who don't want to watch them. So that's how I do it. But find the way to create content that's natural for you, that's energizing and do it consistently.


Believe it or not, teachers love marking essays. They're often proud of the work that their students submit, but they're sometimes disappointed by the large number of grammar and other types of error that let down the quality of the students' writing. Many of these errors are easy to spot and if the student proofreads their work before submission, they can correct these errors themselves and get a better grade. Okay, let's have a look at an example, shall we? Gigi has submitted her assignment on the educational value of computer games in schools. She's organized the essay well and made some effective points, but there are a number of small and easily correctable problems. Let's look at the first sentence. Oh yes, this is common. Can you see the mistake? I'll give you a clue. Find the main verb. Now, consider the tense. Gigi has used the present tense, which we usually use for things that are generally true and don't change. But when giving background information in an introduction, you're often referring to a recent trend. The present continuous or present perfect would be more appropriate here. Alright, let's look at the next sentence. Good. Gigi's written a clear aim of the essay, but oh no, there's another common grammar mistake. This time, the tense is correct, but the verb does not agree with the subject. The subject essay is singular, so the verb needs to be in the third person form. Ames. Right, as well as grammar errors, you need to check in-text citations. Can you find the in-text citations in paragraph two? Gigi has used three different ways to cite the sources, which is effective, but are they done correctly? For the first one, you can see the author's family name, Francis, initial, and the publication year. But remember, with in-text citations, the author's initial should not be used. Let's look at the next citation. Gigi wants to quote two authors, Wang and Cheng, using according to. So far so good. But then she adds the words also agree in as well, which is wrong. She can either write Wang and Cheng, also agree, or, according to Wang and Cheng, but not both. Let's have a look at the last citation. It's non-integral, and the source is cited correctly. Just the author's family name, Watson, and the publication year in brackets. All well and good. But oh no, Gigi has made another common error. Misuse of the expression, on the other hand. On the other hand, doesn't introduce a new topic, but rather offers an alternative viewpoint on the same topic. As this paragraph is only about benefits of using computer games in schools, not drawbacks, on the other hand is misused. Here, Gigi would be better using furthermore, or in addition. OK, let's move on, shall we? Ah, can you see the mistake here? Gigi has confused there, T-H-E-R-E, with there, T-H-E-I-R. OK, it's an easy mistake to make, and Microsoft word spell check won't help, because out of context, both spellings are correct. From, F-R-O-M, and form, F-O-R-M, is another common spelling mistake that computers just can't catch. That is why you must always check the spellings yourself. OK, let's look at a few style errors, shall we? Ah, can you see this one? Look at the way the sentence ends. Gigi has used, etc., which teachers call a run-on expression. These run-on expressions should not be used in academic essay writing. You should also consider style when you're quoting someone. Gigi has used the word said to report someone's findings. There are much more precise words than that. She could have used noted or found. Let's look at the next sentence. Here, Gigi is being too certain. Can you see the word that makes that sentence too certain? She's written always. It is difficult to prove that students always ignore other important activities. If you cannot prove this, you need to hedge this claim, and a commonly used structure for doing this is might or tend to. Gigi is too certain again at the end of the essay. She's used the word easily. In this case, it's better to use expressions like has the potential to, or words like possibly. Let's move on. Look at the final point in the essay and how Gigi introduces us to it. Oh no, it's this error again. The phrase at last is not suitable here. It's not the same as lastly. When we use at last, we mean that we've been waiting a considerable length of time for something to happen. For example, what a boring lecture. At last, it's over. So in this paragraph, at last is wrong. Instead, you can use finally or lastly to link your ideas. Let's carry on, shall we? Ah, there's another common mistake. Can you see it? Gigi has used a noun, violence, where she should have used an adjective, violent. Always check carefully that you're using the right word forms. Okay, so we're finished now and the essay looks much better. All of those were simple errors which Gigi could have found easily. By spending some time to proofread her work, she would have got a better grade. A useful tool I can let you know about is the common error detector on the SIL website. Simply paste your essay into the box, click submit, and it will highlight many of these common errors. How simple is that? Here's the address for it. Okay, so remember, take pride in what you do, spend a little time to proofread your work and see if you can spot these types of error. You'll get a better grade and you'll make your teacher happy.


Hi, I'm Lisa, and I will be introducing our work, Storing and Detieving Secrets on a Blockchain. This is a joint work with Vipul Goyal, Abheramkotapalli, Ryan Parno, and Yifan Song. One of the main contributions in our work is a new secret sharing scheme. Such schemes enable one party to distribute shares of a secret to end parties. If the secret sharing scheme has threshold T, it must be possible to reconstruct the secret using T plus one shares. At the same time, a secret sharing scheme with threshold T ensures that an adversary in control of T out of end parties learns no information about the secret. While secret sharing is great, it seems insufficient when secrets must be stored for a long time. This is where proactive secret sharing schemes, PSS, comes in. Similar to traditional secret sharing, PSS schemes enable one party to distribute shares of a secret to end parties, such that any T plus one shares are enough to reconstruct the secret. And at the same time, an adversary in possession of T out of end shares learns no information about the secret. However, proactive secret sharing schemes additionally consider the setting where the adversary may eventually corrupt all participants over time. While corrupting no more than a certain threshold at any given time. Unfortunately, even PSS is often insufficient, especially for obligations in which the set of parties who hold the secret shares might change over time. To achieve security in this setting, dynamic proactive secret sharing schemes are used. DPSS schemes proactively update the secret shares held by the parties and allow changes to the set of parties holding the secrets. In this work, we introduce FAB DPSS, which stands for fast batch DPSS. It is a highly optimized batch DPSS scheme. As you can see, among the schemes which allow the highest possible adversarial threshold of one half, our protocol has the best communication complexity. It is also the most concretely efficient scheme so far. In addition to the FAB DPSS construction, we propose EVAP, a blockchain based DPSS application, which can be seen as an alternative to acceptable witness encryption. Witness encryption has been introduced by Gargaral and it allows one to encrypt a message with respect to a particular problem instance. Such problem instance could be a Sudoku puzzle in the newspaper or an allegedly bug free program or more generally any NP search problem. If the decryptor knows a valid witness for the corresponding problem instance, such as Sudoku solution or a bug in the program, she can decrypt the ciphertext. Witness encryption is called extractable if it additionally provides extractability, a strong security property which we'll define later. Note that there are numerous applications which need this property, but unfortunately there are no known practical, extractable witness encryption schemes and no constructions based on standard assumptions. EVAP can be seen as something similar to extractable witness encryption, though based on blockchains. In this talk, we will first look into the main ideas behind our FAB DPSS construction. I will then introduce the EVAP primitive and provide an overview of our construction, which satisfies the EVAP definition. We will finish by discussing applications of EVAP and FAB DPSS. We will first briefly recall the definition of DPSS. As I mentioned before, such schemes allow clients to distribute shares of a secret to end parties, so that an adversary in control of some threshold number of parties learns no information about the secret. The set of parties holding the secrets is constantly changing. The adversary can release some parties, use as regain control of their systems, and corrupt new ones. A DPSS scheme consists of the phases setup, handoff, and reconstruction. During each setup phase, clients share secrets to the parties currently holding the secrets, known as a committee. During each handoff phase, committee members change and the old committee passes secrets to the new committee. During each reconstruction phase, the current committee engages in interaction with the client who asks for the reconstruction of a secret to allow the client to learn the secret. At a higher level, the security of the DPSS scheme requires that it should always be possible to recover the secret, and an adversary should not learn any further information about the secret beyond what has been learned before running the protocol. In our work, we consider a computationally bounded, fully malicious adversary A, with the power to adaptively choose parties to corrupt at any time. A can corrupt any number of clients distributing secrets and learn the secrets held by the corrupted clients. The adversary is allowed to corrupt less than half of each committee. Note that the handoff phase is particularly challenging, as during this phase, not only T, but two T parties can be corrupted. T parties in the old committee and T parties in the new committee. We start with the semi-honest case, where parties follow the protocol, but try to learn some extra information about the secret. 50PSS is based on a Chamez secret sharing. We call that in essence a degree D Chamez secret sharing is a degree D polynomial. The secret is encoded at 0.0 and I share is encoded at 0.I. The foundational idea in 50PSS are what we call coupled sharing. By this, we mean two sharing which have the same value, even though the particular shares which lead to this value are different for the two sharing. Now to refresh a secret, a sharing of a secret S, the new committee can prepare a coupled sharing of a uniform random value R. The old committee will receive shares of one part of the coupled sharing and the new committee the shares of the other part. The old committee can now reconstruct and publish S plus R. And the new committee can set the new sharing to be S plus R minus the sharing of the other part of the coupled sharing. Since both parts of the coupled sharing lead to the same value R, the resulting sharing is still the sharing of the secret S. Now the question is how do we prepare the coupled sharing? A strong approach is the following. Each party of the new committee prepares a coupled sharing of a uniform random value and distributes the shares of one part of this coupled sharing to the old committee and the shares of the other part to the new committee. Each party in the old committee can now compute the sum of the shares that received, same for each party in the new committee. Since we are in the semi-honest case, these sums give us a coupled sharing of a uniform random value. However, note that this approach is wasteful. For a total n number of parties in each committee and for an adversarial threshold T, at least n minus T parties in the new committee are honest. Those it would be nice to obtain n minus T coupled sharing instead of only one. To achieve this, we build upon an idea from the work of the Armgard and Nielsen. In their work, parties need to prepare batch of random sharing which will be used in an MPC protocol. All parties first agree on a fixed and public fundamental matrix of size n times n minus T. An important property of a fundamental matrix is that any sub matrix of size n minus T times n minus T is invertible. Then to prepare batch of random sharing, each party generates and distributes a random sharing U. All parties multiply the vector of the shares they received by M and take the values of the resulting vector as output. Since any n minus T times n minus T sub matrix of M is invertible, given the sharing provided by the corrupted parties, there is a one-to-one map from the output sharing to the sharing distributed by the honest parties. Since the input sharing of the honest parties are uniformly random, the one-to-one map ensures that the output sharing are uniformly random as well. In the full malicious case, multiple challenges arise. For example, we need to deal with the case when a malicious committee member distributes shares that do not correspond to a degree T polynomial. We also need to deal with the case when a malicious party distributes shares of some value to the old committee and shares of some other value to the new committee so that the two sharing are not a valid couple sharing. At a high level, we solve these issues by efficiently checking whether a number of couple sharing are correct by checking whether their random linear combination is also a couple sharing. Additionally, we rely on polynomial commitments, which can be used to transform a Plain Secure- Alchemy Secure sharing into a verifiable one so that an incorrect share can be identified and rejected by all parties. We present and formally prove FAB DPSS secure. We note that among the robust DPSS schemes, which provide the highest possible adversarial threshold of one-half, our batch construction achieves the best amortized complexity of N while the state of the art achieves all N squared. Simultaneously, we achieve the same non amortized complexity. Both works achieve all N squared. In addition, our evaluation shows that FAB DPSS is also concretely efficient. All operations complete in seconds and we outperform the state of the art by over six times. As I mentioned before, in addition to FAB DPSS, we propose EVAP, an alternative to Extractable Witness Encryption. Specifically, we ask the following question. Can users store secrets and specify release conditions for them such that possibly other users can retrieve these secrets if and only if they are able to satisfy the release condition? And obviously, our goal is to achieve this without relying on trusted third parties. In EVAP, Extractable Witness Encryption on a blockchain we distinguish between users who deposit secrets, we call them depositors, and users who request that a secret be released. These are the requesters and a changing set of blockchain nodes minus who are executing these requests. An EVAP system consists of three possibly randomized and interactive subroutines, secret store, secret handoff and secret release. These are similar to the algorithms used by DPSS with the difference that now a release condition is specified by the depositor. Specifically, secret store allows a depositor to specify a release condition and distribute a secret among a set of miners, which we call the committee in the following. Secrets handoff is periodically executed by the miners to hand over all stored secrets from the old committee to the new committee. Finally, secret release is used by the requester to ask for the release of some secret. Miners check whether the requester holds a valid witness, and if so, as a result of the interaction with the miners, the requester privately obtains the secret M. In our paper, we provide a game-based security definition for EVAP. Intuitively, this definition states that if an adversary is able to distinguish between the protocol executed with secret from zero and the protocol executed with secret M1, then we can also use this adversary to extract a valid witness for the release condition of the secret. Intuitively, this notion is quite similar to the acceptable security of witness encryption, which states that if an adversary can distinguish between two ciphertexts, then he can also extract the witness from the corresponding problem instance. We designed a protocol which satisfies the EVAP security definition. It uses blockchains and DPSS. The initial committee are miners who mined the most recent M blocks in the underlying blockchain. Given a secret message M and the release condition F, the depositor stores the release condition F on the blockchain and secret shares M among the miners using the secret storage setup algorithm of the DPSS scheme, FEP DPSS in our case. During the protocols periodically executed hand-off phase, the secrets are passed from the miners of the old committee to the miners of the new committee using the DPSS hand-off algorithm. The new committee consists of the miners who mined the most recent M blocks. This keeps the size of the committee constant and allows all parties to determine the current committee by simply looking at the blockchain state. Finally, to retrieve a stored secret a requester needs to prove that they are eligible to do so. Note that this indeed poses the challenge. An insecure solution is to just send a valid witness W to the miners. However, a malicious miner could then use to provide that witness to retrieve the secret himself. To solve this problem instead of sending the witness in clear, the user proves that they know valid witness. Thus, while the committee members are able to check the validity of the requests and privately release the secret to the requester, the witness remains hidden. Note that this can be done using Nizik's non-attractive zero-knowledge proofs. Such proofs allow one party, the prover, to prove the validity of some statement to another party, the verifier, such that nothing except for the validity of the statement is revealed. However, simply using Nizik's is still not enough. As a malicious miner could now use the obtained Nizik to simply submit the same Nizik and retrieve the secret. To solve this issue, we incorporate the public key of the requester in the Nizik and utilize only Nizik's switch-proof non-malayability so that only the user with the specified public key is able to obtain the secret. Last but not least, we use eweb to enable a bunch of exciting applications which rely on extractable witness encryption. In our paper, we explain how eweb can be used to achieve timelock encryption, which allows one to encrypt a message such that it can only be decrypted after a certain deadline has passed. eweb can also be used to implement the so-called statement switch which under a certain condition triggers a process such as making public or deleting some secret data. Using eweb, it is also possible to obtain fair exchange and fair MPC. Fair exchange ensures that two parties receive each other's inputs atomically and fair MPC ensures that either all parties receive the output of the protocol or not. eweb also makes one-time programs possible. These are the programs that can be run only once. And finally, we show how non-depudiation proofs can be done. They ensure that parties cannot deny requesting and obtaining certain data. In our work, we also have some other examples for this please take a look at our paper. Note that prior to our work, there already existed theoretical constructions which explained how these applications could be achieved using extractable witness encryption and in many cases blockchains. However, with eweb, you can make implementing these applications more realistic. That's all I have. Thank you for your attention.


ars on the Justice Committee. Over two parliamentary sessions from parliamentary session 192, it was a complaint there when we then moved to having two Justice Committees for a period in order to deal with the volume of work that they were dealing with. Alison McInnes made reference to some 17 bills of past to the Justice Committee over the session 4 term. Over the past year and a half since coming in to post my colleague Paul Wheelhouse, we have taken six of them through alongside three members' bills over such a very limited period of time, which I think demonstrates the level of legislation in which the committee is dealing with. However, in the year and a half that I have been engaged with the Justice Committee on a regular basis, I have greatly valued the contribution that has been made by committee members and their shared commitment. Although time's difference of opinions on matters, they have shared commitment to improve our justice system in Scotland in the way in which they believe that it needs to be shaped in modernising it and improving it for victims of crime and in the way in which we deal with individuals within our criminal justice system. I believe that the members of the committee have played a tremendously important part in helping to shape and improve many of the bills that we have brought before the Parliament, which have been improved as a result of their diligence and commitment and the scrutiny that they have subjected those pieces of legislation to. I do not want to fall out with the Presiding Officer on the second last day, but it is not one of the great advantages of having the same committee doing inquiries and legislation is that the people looking at bills actually have expert knowledge of that area of policy. I think that that has manifested in the excellent report on this bill at stage 1. Of course, that is also one of the great strengths of this Parliament that you have all that scrutiny at stage 1, which you certainly did not use to have in the UK Parliament, although I think that they are copying our procedures in this regard to some extent now. I very much agree with Malcolm Chisholm on this particular point. I think that there are real strengths in our committee system and the expertise that can be built up by members in undertaking legislative scrutiny alongside reviewing areas of legislation, a post legislative basis and also in looking at policy matters as well. I think that that is a real strength to our committee structure. I say that I am also very mindful that there is a committee at times that has a mind of its own in exact the way in which a committee should operate on particular matters. I was interested in the comments that was made by its convener, where she said that her idiosyncrasies were a result of her age. What I can say with members that I have known Christine Grahame a long time, is that I have known Christine Grahame since before we were both elected back in 1999 to his Parliament. I can assure you that her idiosyncrasies are nothing to do with her age. Christine Grahame has always gone the route that she thought was the most appropriate in whichever way she would. Even as a delegate at the Cairdhall in Dundee, I can remember one Christine Grahame making her views known from the floor during the course of a debate, even though she had not been called. I would not put it down to age Christine in terms of your idiosyncrasies as such. I am also very conscious that a number of members over an extended period of time in his Parliament now have made important contributions to moving on the whole agenda of tackling domestic abuse and sexual violence within our society. Some of the members are with us here today, and I will turn to them, but also members who are not with us here today in this Parliament, whom I can recall made a substantial and considered contribution to raising this debate within Parliament and improving the way in which your justice system dealt with these issues. One of those was Morrie Macmillan, whom I can recall back in the early stages in this Parliament, who raised the issue in a consistent and constructive way both in the floor of the chamber and in the Justice Committee at that time, including pursuing her own members' bill, one of the first members' bills that went through Parliament in protection orders in order to help to support those individuals who had been subject to domestic abuse. There is absolutely no doubt that over the past 16 years across different Governments that we have made significant progress in changing the way in which we deal with domestic and sexual violence within our society, shining a light on an area that, for too long, I believe, had been largely overlooked. At times, we are often written off as being private matters that we should not get ourselves involved in. We have opened that door, and now I believe that we are in a much better place in the way in which we deal with these issues from our justice system, in the way in which the courts deal with it, through to the way in which the police deal with it, our prosecutors deal with it and clearly the leadership that has been shown by this Parliament and its determination in order to continue to pursue this particular issue. I also want to pay particular tribute to the contribution that Malcolm Chisholm has made to this agenda, because he has made a contribution in this area over several decades. Malcolm Chisholm is one of the politicians that I can well remember prior to being directly involved in politics myself as an elected member when he stood up on a matter of principle when he was a minister in the UK Government on the changes to benefits for single parents. He took a position of principal at that particular point and was the first minister to resign from the then Blair Government on that particular issue at a very early stage. His determination and commitment to domestic violence and improving health and tackling health inequalities and cancer treatment across a whole range of issues has demonstrated his determination to take forward really key issues that he has not just picked up for a short period of time but has been determined in pursuing them over an extended period of time, which have been to the better. I think that the comments he made about collaboration and consensus is one of the things that Malcolm Chisholm has always been prepared to demonstrate, that he will collaborate and he will cooperate and he will help to develop a consensus if we can achieve a better outcome irrespective as to which party badger, which seat you may occupy in the chamber. I sincerely believe that the chamber and this Parliament will be a lesser place for him not being here after the next election. I also wish to, in the short time that I have known Margaret MacDougall, wish her well in her retirement as well. The contribution that she has made in the course of my time before the Justice Committee has always been note worthy in that she has pursued areas that I have at times, I think, could easily have been given an oversight and she has been very diligent in pursuing those matters in great detail. I have greatly appreciated that as well and I think that it has also helped to contribute towards improving the legislation that we have scrutinised. I note the disappointment that she has in not agreeing to her amendments here today but I can give the member an assurance that the Scottish Government and the incoming Scottish Government, whichever party is taking that forward, will be and should be committed to continuing to keep this area under observation to consider where further measures can be taken forward. I also make reference to the final, the valid victory speech from Annabelle Goldie here this afternoon. I, like with Malcolm Chisholm, joined the Parliament in 1999 where we were all rookies and quite literally we were establishing a parliamentary process that was nothing more than something written in the Scotland Act and bringing it into real life and translating it into the reality of day-to-day politics. Throughout that time Annabelle Goldie has always demonstrated a real ability to cut through some of the nonsense that can go on in parliamentary debate at the time. Very often with a razor-sharp wit, which, if you found yourself on the wrong end of it, could leave you looking rather foolish at times as well. She has made a very distinguished contribution to this Parliament. My late mother used to always say that I like Annabelle. Annabelle was good, although, as Annabelle will know, that was followed up with the curse that many Conservative party leaders in Scotland may have felt, and that was, but I wouldn't vote for her. In the previous parliamentary session, Annabelle made a particular contribution on reframing and resetting her drug policy in Scotland in a way that was much more targeted, dealing with the underlying causes that drive drug dependency in our society in the first place. That has led us to take a much more mature and considered approach to her drug policy in Scotland. That enlightened approach is reaping rewards. There is still much more to be done, but her contribution to that has helped to improve the way in which Scotland deals with drug policy in Scotland. I have no doubt that, although she will no longer be in this chamber, she will continue to make a distinguished contribution to Scottish political life from years to come, and I certainly wish her well in her retirement. I think that this particular piece of legislation is fitting that the Parliament should sign off in a point of consensus. I mentioned earlier on that, back in 1999, how we started to look at the issues of domestic conceptual violence in a way that had never had a light shine on it in a way in which it has over the past 16 years. We have a much improved position, but, as John Finnie made the point in his contribution, in 2014-15, Police Scotland dealt with just under 60,000 domestic violence cases. The Scottish Justice Survey suspects that that is a significant underestimate. Police Scotland would tell you that every nine minutes they deal with a call relating to domestic or sexual violence in Scotland.  There is still a deep-seated inequality in our society that results in domestic and sexual violence that takes place within our communities far too often. The root cause of sexual and domestic violence in our society is a societal structure. It is one that is created by inequality in our society and the power imbalance within our society. We have clearly made progress but much more to do. I hope that, in the next parliamentary session, there will be an opportunity to take this further forward. I want to finish on another point. In the debate this afternoon, Alison MacKinnon has made reference to the decision not to continue with Her Majesty's prison in Verclyde. We have reformed many parts of our justice system over the past 16 years, from our courts to our police service to the way in which our prosecution services operate. However, I strongly believe that one area in which we as a society and a parliament still have a significant way to go is in our penal policy. Some aspects of our penal policy have not changed in almost 200 years. That is not a good reflection, not in any particular government, but in our society. I hope that, in the next parliamentary session, whoever is in this chair and who is in government will see penal policy as being one of the areas where we need to shine a light and to reform in a way that makes us a much more modern and progressive society and how we deal with those who commit offences in the first place. However, the bill here today is one that I think takes us back that 16-year journey we have been through so far. That is to make sure that, as a society, we are not going to tolerate domestic violence and sexual violence in our society and that we will sign off in our final piece of legislation in this Parliament, collectively sending out a very strong signal that we will continue to do everything that we can to tackle domestic and sexual violence in Scottish society. Thank you, cabinet secretary. That concludes the debate on abusive behaviour and sexual harm Scotland Bill. The next item of business is consideration of business motion number 16029 in the name of Joe Fitzpatrick, on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, setting out a revision to the business programme for tomorrow. Any member who wishes to speak against the motion should press the request to speak button now and I call on Joe Fitzpatrick to move motion number 16029. I now put the question to the chamber. The question is that motion number 16029 in the name of Joe Fitzpatrick would be agreed to. Are we all agreed that the motion is there for agreed to? We now move to decision time. There are three questions to be put as a result of today's business. The first question is that motion number 15996 in the name of Maureen Watt on the Bureau and Commission Scotland Bill would be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The motion is there for agreed to and the Bureau and Commission Scotland Bill is passed. The next question is that motion number 15993 in the name of Fergus Ewing on the Bankruptcy Scotland Bill would be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The motion is there for agreed to and the Bankruptcy Scotland Bill is passed. The next question is that motion number 15994 in the name of Michael Matheson on the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harms Scotland Bill would be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The motion is there for agreed to and the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harms Scotland Bill is passed. That concludes decision time. We now move to members' business. Members will leave the chamber and should do so quickly and quietly.


In this video, we provide the solution to question number eight from practice exam number two for math 1210, and we're asked to find the largest number delta possible such that when the absolute value of x plus one is between zero and delta, that'll guarantee that the absolute value of three minus four x minus seven is less than one fourth. So this is an epsilon delta type question. Let's make sure we can label all the appropriate parts right here. So this is our function in play right here three minus three minus four x that is our function f of x it's our y coordinate there. This number seven is the limit, which we call L in this one fourth there's our epsilon deltas will we have to find this one right here we might want to rewrite x plus one is x minus a negative one for which we then identify that a is our value of negative one. So we want to know in a symmetric manner how much to the left or right of negative one should we be to guarantee that our function is within one fourth away from seven right here. So if we want to solve this algebraically that would be very appropriate we have to solve we have to solve the equation f of x equals L plus or minus epsilon there's two equations right there so one of them we three minus four x is equal to seven plus instead of one fourth I'm going to put as a decimal point two five like so I mean you can leave it as a fraction if you want to whichever you prefer it doesn't make much of a difference honestly, as the answers are given as fractions it's probably best to keep it as a fraction. So we're going to three minus four x is equal to well with seven we might have to write as 28 fourths. And so we end up with 29 fourths right here. Let's subtract three from both sides, we're going to get negative four x is equal to if we take, if we take three, that can be written as 12 fourths. And so that would then become subtracting 12 fourths from 29 fourths. We can write that there minus three here minus 12 fourths right there. That will end up with a 17 force, in which case then if we divide both sides by negative four, we end up with x is equal to negative 17 over 16. So that's one of the values we need to keep track of this is our so called a one. We have to also do the other equation three minus four x is equal to seven minus a fourth, which that's going to become 27 force, we still are going to subtract three from both sides, which will then translate to become a 12 fourths right there. This gives us that negative four x is then equal to subtracting the 12, we're going to get 15 force, for which then when we divide here by negative four again we're going to get x equals negative 1516, which is our a two. And so then delta, as you'll recall delta is going to be the minimum. Whoops. It's the minimum of the absolute value of a minus a one with the absolute value of a minus a two. Like so, for which if we subtract, if we subtract a one from our a value which is negative one, you're going to end up with a 116. Like so, if you do a two minus a one or minus a excuse me, you're going to get also 116. Okay, we're taking absolute values, this thing's going to be positive. And so they're actually both the same and so we end up with 116. And that's going to be our delta value, which then makes the correct answer be now that's sort of like the long drawn out way you can do this one that's going to work for general functions that you could see here. Now some variants I want to mention here is that the function itself might actually be given to you in graphical form. And which case that basically tells us that the a one and a two are probably already given to you that simplifies a lot of this process because we don't have to solve the equation that one. So if you're given a graph, you know, scream hallelujah because that makes this question a whole lot easier for us. Another thing I want to mention to us is that since our function here is linear, there's a nice little shortcut here that if you ever given. If you're given epsilon, and you want to find delta delta is just going to equal epsilon divided by the absolute value of the slope. That is to say in this one we have one fourth divided by the slope of the line which is negative one fourth there. So we end up with 116. This is a character this is characteristic of lines that to find the delta for a line you just take epsilon and divided by the slope taking absolute value that only works for linear functions like y equals three minus four x but that's something we could have applied in this one to dramatically simplify the process.


We'd like to ask the traveling public to be cautious traveling through the work zone. We will have traffic signals there throughout the day in the peak traffic areas in the early morning hours and the afternoon hours when the school bus traffic is present. There will be free-flowing traffic but we still want to be safe when we're around there because we'll have workers there and be safe for both yourself and the crews working.
