So, far you have done the experiment of measuring the current voltage characteristic of a single module and you also done the experiment of measuring the current voltage characteristic of a series connected PV modules and series and parallel connected PV modules. Now, one important parameters when it comes to PV technology is the amount of energy that is generated. In theory the PV module will generate maximum energy when it is following the sun right which in that case the PV module is collecting all the radiation following on a PV module. But in practice we cannot always keep on focusing the PV module towards the sun and therefore, it is important to find out what will happen if PV module is fixed at a given location and what will happen if PV module is continuously following the sun. When PV module is continuously following the sun it is called the sun trekking. So, the in this experiment which is experiment number 3 the idea is to find out effect of sun trekking on energy generation from a PV module right. So, normally what happens PV modules are installed. So, if I have the north south normally my PV modules are installed like this. So, PV module should be south facing and the angle of the PV module should be equal to the latitude angle. So, this angle is equal to the phi which is the latitude angle of the location. So, if I am sitting in a Mumbai and I want to install PV module latitude angle of Mumbai is 19 degrees therefore, this PV module should be inclined 90 degree with respect to the horizontal surface and the face of the module should be in the south direction. So, this is the case of a PV module which is fixed at a given location and this is again optimized condition. So, this PV module will actually give higher electricity as compared to the PV module which is sitting flat on the ground. Now, we know that if PV module is continuously following the sun then the amount of energy generation will be higher. And for this reason that if PV module is like this and the sun radiation are coming like this then the interception area is equal to the surface area of the PV module. Now, instead of this if sun rays are coming like this then the effective area that is the effective area that is that a PV module is actually covering is less as compared to the area of the as compared to the area that it would have that it would have intercepted. And because of that when the plane of the PV module is not in the perpendicular of the solar radiation it is going to collect the lesser amount of radiation. And things are different in the early morning. So, in the early morning if your rays are coming like this and again in this case is rays are coming like this in this case the effective area that is intercepted by the module is less. Also in this case the there will be a reflection that will occur from the glass. And therefore, depending on the position of the sun if my sun is at this position I should keep my module like this if my sun is at this position I should keep my module like this or if my sun is in this position let us say evening position then I should keep my module like this. So, in all three cases the module is perpendicular to the sun. So, therefore, in this experiment what we need to find out is what will happen if you keep your module to a fixed angle like this or what will happen if you are actually changing your position of the module depending on the position of the sun. This kind of arrangement is called the sun tracking and therefore, idea is how much energy you will generate in this position if the module is fixed and how much energy you will generate in this position when your module is continuously following the sun. Obviously, in this case you expect that energy generation will be higher as compared to this case, but this requires extra arrangement because your module has to be changing position all the time. And therefore, extra arrangement is required in your laboratory kit that is provided to you the arrangement is made such that so that you can change the angle. So, you can change this angle and you can also change the orientation. So, arrangement is provided in your laboratory kit. So, that you can make the arrangement both in this east-west direction as well in the north-south direction. So, that you can actually make the make the arrangement in this particular condition. Now, the question is how to do the measurement of energy, right? First of all what we want to find out how much energy generation is occurring. Now, energy generation is basically power into time. Energy generation is nothing but a power into time. So, in your previous experiment what we have done is and what is this power? This is the peak power. This is the peak power or the maximum power of a module or a combination of a modules in a PVRA. So, what we need to do now is what we need to know? So, basically and this energy can then be given in terms of watt into hour. This will be the unit of energy. So, if we can measure the whatever generated in let us say some 3 hours time period in this arrangement and if we can find out whatever generated in this arrangement and we will know how much is the extra energy or whatever generated in this arrangement. How to do that? So, for this what we need to do is a quick experiment, quick measurement of quick measurement of P max is required in this arrangement and in the arrangement 2. So, in the arrangement 1, so I will call it. So, this is arrangement 1 and this is arrangement 2. So, now in this arrangement 1 which is the fixed module what we need to do is for example, we need to time, we need to find out the P m at that time and multiplication of P m and time will give me the energy generated in that time period. So, let us say I start my experiment at 2 o clock. So, at 2 o clock if I find the P m is let us say 10 watt, then I do the measurement again in this condition at say let us say 230, when I do the measurement again at 3 o clock, I do my measurement again at 330 and I do my measurement again at 4 o clock and I can continue doing this. So, let us say at 2 o clock my wattage is 10, at 230 my wattage was let us say 9 watt. So, between 2 to 230 in half an hour I assume that my wattage is constant. So, I multiply by, so when I multiply this power into 30 right. So, if I multiply 10 watt into 30 minute is 0.5 hour. So, 10 watt into 0.5 this is my energy. Now, this power is measured at 230 P m, I assume that next half an hour this remains constant. So, again my energy is 9 into 9 into 0.5. So, that is my energy generated. Again let us say I measure 9.5 watt in this arrangement this can happen because there may because of the cloud it may be lower, but now it is higher. So, if I measure 9.5 watt and I assume that from 3 o clock till 330 my power remains constant. So, at 9.5 into 0.5 is my energy generated. So, at each point I need to find out the P max. Now, this is the fast you need to do work very fast right because within this you have to find out entire I V characteristic of a P V module and from P V entire I V characteristic of a P V module you need to find out V M. So, basically what does it mean? It means that at every half an hour you have to measure this graph every half an hour you measure this graph.  So, therefore in this case if you overall if you are doing 8 measurement you have to measure I V characteristic of your module 8 times, but hopefully by this experiment you will be very you will be expert in measuring the maximum power point of your module and therefore you will be able to find out the energy. What you need to do now? After 10 experiment you have to sum this. So, then you can say total energy generated during 3 hours duration of a module is this much. Now this module can be 1 module or combination of 2 modules 3 modules 4 modules whatever you want to have it can be this experiment can be done for a single module or a combination of module. So, in for arrangement 1 which is the fixed module you have made this table and for each P m I said I will let me repeat again for each P m you have to do the full I V care measurement basically the peak power you need to find out for each. So, you have to find out the peak power at 2 o clock you have to find out the peak power at 230 you have to find out the peak power or maximum power at 3 o clock 330 4 o clock 430. So, you will actually do some 6 to 8 measurement minimum 6 to 8 measurement multiply by the duration what is our assumption? Our assumption is that from 2 o clock till 230 the power remains same which is not the good assumption because we know that radiation intensity is changing, but we just want to find out what is the effect. Now same thing which you have done for same thing we have done for the assignment 1 you have to do the same thing for arrangement 2. Now both the experiment are kind of going parallel. So, therefore, if you have done this experiment at 2 o clock and if I want to make the same table again here suppose. So, I have to do the time here then I have to find out the P m I have to find out the energy. Suppose you have done that this experiment 2 o clock do your measurement and let us say do this experiment at 210 and do this experiment at 240 do this experiment at 310 and 340 same thing again at 210 at 210 you have to find out I m at 240 again you have to find out the whole I v character is 310 again you need to at 310 again you have to find out the whole I v characteristic at. So, for every time you need to find out the full I v character so that you can find out the maximum power point you can find out the maximum power point at 240 find out the maximum power point at 310 find out the maximum power point at 340 continue till at least 3 hours continue this duration for at least 3 hours now use those values here. So, what you will find out that this may have little higher value of power right because you are following the sun exactly you are following the sun exactly. So, you will have little higher value of powers it may be 9.5 it may be 10 it may be 8 you multiply how to get you multiply with the duration again you are assuming that from 210 to 240 your power generation remains same. So, you are multiplying by energy generated power is 10.5 is you multiply power generated and by the time duration which is half an hour. So, you will actually get 10.5 into 0.5 this your energy generated again 9.5 into 0.5 that is your energy generated again at the end do the same thing total energy generated in terms of watt hour. So, from this table you will have to measure the watt hour of this arrangement from this arrangement you will find the total watt hour generated and eventually the whole objective of this experiment is to compare how much extra energy you will generate in case of arrangement 2 right. This is very busy experiment because at every time you have to find out the I V characteristic for arrangement 1 and you have to find out the I V characteristic of arrangement 2. So, it is very busy experiment and a team of people can do this experiment very nicely. Again compare the energy generated from this and find out your conclusion about what is the advantage of sun trekking how much extra energy you can generate if you are following the sun in those 3 hours. Again there are several questions given at the end of your manual and you are requested to do this experiment measure do the measurement and try to answer the questions that are given at the end of the experiment. Thank you. In this experiment where we are trying to measure the impact of the sun trekking on the generation of energy as explained in the theory that trekking of the sun for the P V module results in a generation of excess energy or extra energy, but at the same time trekking also result in a manual adjustment or automatic adjustment of module according to the position of the sun. Normally P V modules are installed at an angle which is equal to the latitude angle. So, for example, in this case this is my on the right my is my west this is my east and this direction is basically a south direction. So, as you can see here the P V modules are now right now installed in the south direction which is not the optimum condition at the current condition and as you can see here that this is actually provided to find out whether the module are perpendicular to the sunlight or not. If you look at closely there is a shadow of the this pointer here and because which indicates that this modules are not in optimal condition. So, in many real life conditions the modules are installed fixed in the south direction. So, in this experiment we want to find out what energy can be generated, how much energy can be generated if modules are fixed, installed at the latitude angle in the south direction or if the modules are being tracked. In this particular situation as explained in the laboratory you need to find out the energy generated in let us say 3 hour duration of the time period. In order to find out the energy generation you need to have the power at that particular time and the time duration. So, for example, what we are doing is for we will measure the I V condition characteristic of a module again you can take one single module, two module, three module or four module in various combinations. So, even if you want to find out the energy generation from one single module you can do that or you want to find out the energy generation from two single module you can do that. So, you need to find out the energy in this particular case an energy when you are tracking the sun and I will show you how you can track the sun. So, in this case if you find out the power peak power which you can do by current and voltage measurement and multiply by the duration of time and you need to take the same reading of the peak power in this position for every 20 minutes or every 30 minutes. So, within the period of 3 hours you will have roughly about 6 to 8 readings. So, when you multiply the peak power 6 to 8 reading means you are finding 6 to 8 times the I V characteristic you are finding 6 to 8 times the peak power you are multiplying the time. So, this is one position in which you will make the 6 to 8 readings in which the modules are facing due south. Now, the second position again which is the position corresponding the sun tracking you need to make the similar number of measurement and see how much energy is generated. So, you need to find and the main difference that comes from this condition when the modules are not optimally focusing the sun and when modules are optimally focusing the sun is the current. So, in this case I have connected one single module in the short circuit condition and you can see here the short circuit current right now you can see here the short circuit current right now is 0.11 ampere. Now, this is not the optimal condition. So, when we do the sun tracking what we want is the sunlight is always perpendicular to the module and that perpendicular to the module can be obtained if the shadow of this nail does not fall anywhere else. So, now I will show you how to make arrangement your setup is with the arrangement in which you can change you can change this angle up and down and you can also change the you can also change here. So, you can also change the direction here. So, now if I make this arrangement such that the shadow of this nail should not fall. So, still there is a shadow I will keep changing the position of the module will keep changing the position of the module. Now, the shadow is decreasing shadow is decreasing if I increase angle further. So, now you are almost in a situation when there is no shadow following right. So, this shadow of this nail is not following anywhere else and therefore, which means that modules are now in a perpendicular to the sunlight. Let us look at the difference what it will make in the current. So, let us look at the difference what it will make to the current. So, look at here earlier case same time same condition the module was producing about 0.11 ampere, but now the module is producing 0.29 ampere current right. So, now if you do the power measurement in this condition your peak power condition peak power will be higher than the case when your modules are facing the south direction. And therefore, if you are in a situation when your your modules are always facing the sun which means the sun rays are perpendicular to the module then you are producing more power. And if you consider this power integrated over a period of time in this experiment we are doing this measurement for 3 hours. So, basically you can find out that energy generated when you are following the sun is higher than the energy generated when your module are facing the view south direction. So, again you have to do the measurement in this position when there is no sun there is no shadow of this nail here again you have to do the 6 to 8 measurement. So, you make this measurement bring the down your module back to the south position take the measurement bring down your module in this position of no shadow take the measurement and you keep doing this measurement 6 to 8 times in each position.  And when you multiply peak power by the duration or the gap in which no measurement is done that is your energy produced in that particular time period you sum up the energy in both the cases and you compare how much energy is produced in this particular case when the modules are perpendicular to the sunlight and the case when your modules are fixed at an angle which is equal to the latitude angle and facing the south. So, this of course this is the manual tracking and you are moving your module in such a way that your panel is always perpendicular to sunlight, but in real time you can do the manual tracking also you can do the automatic tracking. So, there are automatic trackings are available which you can which can focus the module always toward the sun. So, the objective of this experiment is to show you the difference in the amount of energy that can be generated from the same module if module are fixed south facing or if the module are always taking the sun. Hopefully you will do this measurement. So, you are going to do this kind of measurement you will measure the time you will measure the voltage you will measure the current, but most importantly you will find out the peak power. Now, for each time you need to find out what is the maximum power if you want to find out the maximum power you have to find out the I V characteristic of that particular time and you multiply by the time during which you have the measurement for which you are calculate considering this power and therefore, you can find out the energy required. So, this is well explained in the theory part of this experiment. So, if you do this measurement in both the position 6 to 8 times during the 3 hours duration you will find out how much energy is generated when you are tracking the sun and how much energy is generated when the modules are facing the south direction and the comparison of that will give you clear advantage of the sun tracking as compared to the fixed arrangement of the modules. Again I hope you will learn lot from doing this experiment I wish you all the best. Thank you.


Social Newrich sl Follow questions on infrastructure investment in cities. 1. Rob Gibson 50. Penniff a'r cangwys â'r ddiogel. The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport baith yn y deffra, dec carbon emission figures, published in 2014, and the latest data, published by the rail delivery group. The Scottish Government estimates that for each ton transferred by rail freight rather than by road, CO2 emissions would be reduced by up to 75 per cent. The actual carbon savings may be dependent on loading figures. Will Gibson. I thank the minister very much for that answer. He should perhaps understand that 90 per cent of the supermarkets in the highlands are within a mile of the railway and that many supermarkets deliver provisions by van to the most far-flung doors in the country. Will the minister explore the possibility of a new means to deliver supermarkets stop, which can be unloaded from containers and picked up from rail sidings long route to supermarkets so that further reductions can be made in greenhouse gases? Yes, I will consider that. As we are currently refreshing our rail freight strategy, we will consult on that over the summer of this year. That will include steps that the rail industry can take to encourage and support innovation and growth in the rail freight sector. To ask the Scottish Government what progress has been made on reducing journey times on the Highland mainline between Inverness and Edinburgh. Two additional train services were added to the Highland mainline in December 2011, increasing the number of trains from nine to eleven per day between Inverness and the central belt. In December 2012, following technical improvements between Perth and Inverness, journey times have been improved by up to 18 minutes in some services. Further journey time improvements averaging around 10 minutes, the introduction of an hourly service between Perth and Inverness, extended to either Glasgow or Edinburgh, and increased opportunities for freight will be delivered by 2019. I thank the minister for his response, but I am sure he will know that in 2007 the SNP and its manifesto promised to cut journey times from Inverness to Edinburgh by 45 minutes. The latest figures available show that the average journey time between Inverness and Edinburgh has reduced but by nine minutes, and the Monday to Friday service between Inverness and Edinburgh is actually taking longer than it did in 2007. When exactly are the Scottish Government going to deliver on its eight-year-old promise? Do we have to wait a generation? The Scottish Government is currently working on the next stages of investment strategy for future control periods, so we will continue to work on our manifesto commitments. We are making progress. We are modernising the railways and investing a significant sum of money, but I tell you that it will be aided by the proposals that the SNP has put before the people in this Westminster election that will mean more spending on infrastructure than would be the case if the Tories were re-elected in reducing infrastructure spending. We will come quicker with the SNP than it ever would have done with the Tories. I welcome any increase in the speed of journeys, particularly for freight between Inverness and the central bell. Will the minister share my view that one of the practical technical constraints is that the vast majority of the line is single track and that the serious increasing in signalling is required to increase the speed on that particular service? Yes, Mr Stewart is absolutely right. There are technical and infrastructure requirements that will require to be addressed to help to achieve the reduction in journey times that we would all wish to see, so the point is a fair one. Stewart Stevenson. Can I draw members' attention to my register of interests in relation to my role in rail future UK and my presidency as Scottish Association for Public Transport? Can the minister confirm that in Scotland we are investing more than double the per capita investment in our rail network than is the case in England and Wales? The Scottish Government is committed to investing £5 billion in Scotland's railways over the next five years to 2019, including over £3 billion capital investment in network rail infrastructure. Yes, on a per capita basis this is more than double the equivalent investment planned by UK ministers. Many thanks. John Finnie. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can I ask the minister what steps he can take to ensure that developments in the central belt don't mean that there won't be slots for any improved frequency of trains in the Highland Mainline? Minister. Of course it's always a balancing act but we are investing in the infrastructure in Scotland's railways to improve journey times across the country, expand capacity and improve the customer experience and reach out to parts of the country. Of course, in considering capacity demand and timetabling issues, we would ensure that the Highlands and indeed every part of Scotland is fully connected to the central belt. That's our aspiration. Many thanks. Question 3 in the name of Neil Bibby has not been launched. An explanation has been provided. Question 4, Gavin Brown. To ask the Scottish Government what changes it has planned for government procurement. Cabinet Secretary, Keith Brown. A public consultation on changes to the planned procurement rules in Scotland ended last week. We are currently analysing the responses to that consultation. We will consider those as we take forward our plans to transpose the new European procurement directives and to implement the provisions of the Procurement Reform Scotland Act 2014. Gavin Brown. I am grateful for that answer. The Federation of Small Businesses Scotland has suggested one change to procurement, namely as a minimum publishing spend with suppliers broken down by business size including micro and small businesses. What is the minister's initial response to that proposal? Cabinet Secretary. I think I said in my substantive response that we have just finished the consultation exercise and I would rather wait till we have seen all those responses to the consultation exercise before making a definitive view. However, some of the substantive points that he has raised in relation to the idea to try and make sure that we give as much advantage as possible to small and medium enterprise businesses is a point that is well made. We very much have that in mind. At the same time, we want to make sure that there is not an overburden of bureaucracy on public bodies and others when they are involved in procurement. However, we will try to reconcile those interests. However, we would make a substantive response when we have managed to consider the consultation responses. Claudia Beamish. Can the cabinet secretary explain how the Government will ensure coherence between the Procurement Act statutory guidance, which has just been consulted on, and the three-part duty on public bodies set out in the Climate Change Act? At stage two of the Procurement Reform Act, when it was a bill, Nicola Sturgeon offered to have further meetings, further discussions with myself and Patrick Harvie about the development of the guidance on the rejection of my amendment on climate change. I quote, to encapsulate the points made. The question is, very briefly, will the cabinet secretary now agree to meet me and Patrick Harvie to discuss this further? I would hope that Claudia Beamish and Patrick Harvie have responded to the consultation, but, of course, I am more than happy to meet Claudia Beamish and Patrick Harvie on that issue. Neil Findlay. When the Public Procurement Bill was passed, the minister's response at the time said that all that was needed was guidance to come in to deal with the issue of blacklist. Can the minister tell me of any project in Scotland where the Government's current approach has prevented a blacklisting company from gaining a public contract? I can say that we have put into the provisions of procurement that no company involved in blacklisting will be allowed to have a Government contract. I think that it is worth pointing it as well. Neil Findlay knows this. Employment law is a preserve, unfortunately still, of the UK Government. His party refused to agree to allow employment law to be devolved to Scotland. It is the UK Government's responsible for that. We have taken action, the firmest action in the UK to prevent blacklisting in future and will continue to do that. If, at some point, he wants to work with the Government, I am trying to achieve this, I am more than happy to do that, but not by trying to make points like that, because I think that we have taken very effective action to prevent blacklisting up till now. Question 5, in the name of Margaret McCulloch, has been withdrawn and an explanation has been provided. Question 6, Cameron McKenna. Ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to increase investment in roads as a direct result of forecasted population increases. The strategic transport projects review, the SDPR, is a 20-year plan for investment and it took into account forecast economic and population growth up to 2022. Despite Westminster's real-terms cuts of about a quarter to Scottish capital budgets between 2010, 11 and 2015-16, this Government continues to take the size of action to accelerate economic recovery through our investment decisions. We have invested more than £6.5 billion in roads since 27, with a further £698 million to be invested this financial year to ensure that our strategic road network remains safe, efficient and effective. I am looking forward to continuing to implement the SDPR and our infrastructure investment plan, including completion of the largest transport infrastructure project in Scotland for a generation, the Queensferry crossing and, of course, the dualling of the road network between Scotland cities. Cameron McKenna. I thank the minister for his response, but does the Scottish Government consider that it would be better to assess planning applications after it is known how infrastructure will develop in the area? I would say to the member that we do that, but we also have to take into account when a planning application is made what the likely impact on the infrastructure will be. Of course, it is a correlation that is underlined by, for example, policies such as no detriment. When a planning application provides additional burden on the road network, that should be taken into account during the planning process. There is a link between obviously planning and the infrastructure requirements. We have also provided assistance in relation to other infrastructure developments or rather housing developments to help with the infrastructure costs in the past. The link is really between the investment plan for infrastructure as well as the planning process. I think that those things are taken into account. If he has some ideas as to how that could be done more effectively, then I am more than willing to listen to those, but I can assure him that is done at this present time. Graham Dey. Can the cabinet secretary confirm that the Scottish Government, despite the Westminster Tory cuts to Scotland's capital budget of over 25 per cent over the past five years, is committed to embarking on the largest road investment programme that Scotland has ever seen? That is true, and it is worth remembering why it is true. The Secretary of State for Transport at UK level said recently a few months ago that the problem in Scotland was the lack of investment in our transport infrastructure. That was a previous transport minister from 1989, I should mention, but he has mentioned that because it is correct. We have not had for decades the investment that we require both on our road and our rail network. The point that was made earlier on to Derek Mackay forgets, of course, the fact that we have had beaching. We have had massive disinvestment in our rail and our road infrastructure, so we are doing what we can to make sure that we turn that around. Again, as Stuart Stamson pointed out, twice the level of investment per head in Scotland and the rail network and also in relation to our road network. It seems to me a modern developed economy, should at the very least have motorways or dual carriageways between its city and its Government that will achieve that. Many thanks. Question 7, Patrick Harvie. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the transport recommendations made by the Committee on Climate Change in its 2015 progress report. Minister Derek Mackay. The UK Committee on Climate Change 2015 progress report showed that Scotland is outperforming the UK as a whole in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, we have the ambition to do more and we are already taking action in some of the transport recommendations made in this report. For example, our switched on fleets initiative helps overcome barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles by providing expert analysis to highlight where electric vehicles can be most effectively introduced into fleets. We are backing this analysis with £2.5 million of funding to enable councils and their partners to act by buying or leasing electric cars or vans. Thank you, Patrick Harvie. The minister says that they are taking action on some of the recommendations, but it is unclear whether all of those recommendations have been accepted by the Scottish Government. Perhaps if they were, we might hear fewer speeches about how great it is to have the biggest road-building programme that we have ever had, as we heard in the last question. On the final recommendation, the Government is called on to assess the carbon impact on any proposed changes to the air passenger duty. Does the minister agree with me that it would be bizarre to assess the carbon impact, find that the carbon emissions were going to go up as a result of proposed changes and then proceed anyway? Minister? We have to take an overall look at carbon emissions and it will fit within our overall policies. If we look at everything that was set out in terms of the transition to the low-carbon economy, I would point out just in relation to roads and road-building that we support the decarbonisation of road use, so it is not necessarily the case that that leads to massive increase in emissions. We want to bring that down and that is why we are supporting electric cars. We do not support to answer directly Patrick Harvie's question. For example, we do not have plans to introduce congestion charges or road-user charging schemes, which was a recommendation. We do not have plans to support that, although congestion charges would be a matter for local authorities. We are doing everything within our power to take forward the climate change agenda. I will play a very active role within the cabinet sub-committee on the matter. What progress is being made in developing the use of hydrogen-powered vehicles? Where and by whom? I am happy to write to the member with the details of where we have been able to support such projects, but we have been supporting projects through the grant assistance that the Scottish Government provides. Question 8, Richard Lyle. To ask the Scottish Government what opportunities enhanced devolution could bring to the transport system. The Scottish Government signalled our commitment to enhance devolution of powers over transport in our submission to the Smith commission. We argued that all transport policy, not currently the responsibility of the Scottish Parliament, should be devolved. Enhanced devolution is a natural step to take to ensure that our transport system is as consistent and integrated as possible administratively and practically to best meet the needs and aspirations of the people of Scotland. One example of the opportunities that enhanced devolution could bring to the transport system is a reduction in air passenger duty. We have confirmed that we intend to reduce APD by 50 per cent within the term of the next Parliament with a view to eventual abolition of the tax when public finances allow. Of course, we have stated our view that connecting Scotland to high speed 2 is a priority and that there should be a high speed connection between Glasgow, Edinburgh and north of England as part of any high speed rail network. Thanks, Chuck Brody. I didn't get a supplementary. Mr Lyle, forgive me. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I thank the minister for his response. Unlike most other countries, the Scottish Government does not currently have responsibility over borrowing powers. Does he feel that the delivery of proper borrowing powers to this Parliament would allow us to invest in more infrastructure and in turn help to retain and create jobs to boost our economy through multiplier effect and, of course, make a long-term contribution to growth and productivity? Thank you, Presiding Officer. Yes, of course. We welcome the extension that is currently proposed, but we could go much further. In all the requests that members have made of the transport budget this afternoon, if we had enhanced financial flexibility and the borrowing powers that this Parliament should have so that we can grow Scotland's economy. Brody briefly, please. The minister has answered a question that I had on air passenger duty, but can he tell me how discussions with the Majesty's Government and Westminster is dealing with this issue and when will we hear more of the completion of these discussions? It is now in the hands of the NICS. I imagine the NICS Westminster Government to take that forward. It was in the Smith commission. It will be for the next Government to fulfil the promises that the Vow made to the people of Scotland, as the member would expect. We have had some technical discussions around the understanding of devolving APD, and we hope that that power is secured for the Parliament and the Government so that it can be used to the best effect for the economy of Scotland. Thank you. Question 9. In the name of Adam Reingren, has not been lodged and an explanation has been provided. Question 10, John Mason. Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the status of the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement programme. The Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement programme is making good progress and remains on schedule for the introduction for the first electric services in the Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk high route in December 2016. Passengers are already benefiting from the £25 million transformation of Haymarket station and the Scottish Government's £80 million investment in the electrification of the line between Cumbernauld and Glasgow, both of which were completed on time and on budget. John Mason. I understand that while the Winchborough tunnel is closed that we will lose four trains per hour from Glasgow Queen Street high level to Edinburgh, but ScotRail are only proposing to add one on an additional route. Can the Government comment as to whether that is going to be sufficient for the capacity? Mr Mason is aware because he was at the presentation and the briefing that I had arranged for all members of the Scottish Parliament that there is a full communication exercise and arrangements around this necessary period of disruption that will keep to a minimum to allow that excellent investment to happen. Passengers will still be able to make direct rail journeys between Edinburgh and Glasgow on any of the other three routes connecting the cities and ScotRail has provided assurance that their disruption management plan will make best use of available resources including where possible additional capacity. Many thanks. That concludes that series of questions. We now move to portfolio questions on culture, Europe and external affairs. Question 1, Chick Brody. Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Government what benefits it considers Europe brings to Scotland. EU membership has been a vibrant source of social cultural and economic benefit for Scotland over the last 40 years. EU membership provides significant economic benefits including access to the world's largest single market. With over 500 million potential customers in 2013, the EU is the destination for 46 per cent of Scottish exports worth some £12.9 billion. The Scottish Government also welcomes the social, cultural and economic benefits that migration from the EU delivers to Scotland's communities. The right to freedom of movement is also beneficial to Scots and the elsewhere in the EU. That is why the Scottish Government will continue to make the case for Scotland's membership of the EU as set out in Scotland's action plan for EU engagement launch on 27 March 2015. A booklet on the benefits of Scotland's EU membership was also published alongside that to further emphasise the advantages of Scotland enjoying being part of the EU. Chick Brody. Thank you. Your answer. The EET committee recently held a session entitled internationalising Scottish business in that session. Former Labour Minister Brian Wilson giving evidence stated that 330,000 Scottish jobs depend on exporting the UK and he stated that he would be bonkers to come out of Europe and that every company in trade union has a vested interest in sure we do not leave Europe. Can the cabinet secretary agree with me that Scotland's position is inside the European Union? Yes, indeed I can. It is vital that Scotland remains within the EU to preserve the economic benefits of EU membership and that is why the First Minister has proposed that if there was to be a referendum on the UK's EU membership a vote to exit the EU should require not just a majority across the whole UK but a majority in each of its four constituents' parts. A double majority but of course not to have a referendum in the first place by locking out the Tories that would be, of course, preferable. Many thanks. Question 2, John Pentland. To ask the Scottish Government when the cabinet secretary for culture, Europe and external affairs will announce the location and timetable for the development of a permanent Scottish firm studio. Cabinet secretary Fiona Hyslop. I advise the economy, energy and tourism committee on the 4th of May that Scottish Enterprise had received a new proposal to provide studio infrastructure for Scotland. The proposal had to undergo due diligence and commercial negotiations to consider its viability. The due diligence process is complete but has proved more complicated than first thought. Commercial negotiations are still on going and the proposal remains commercial in confidence at present. I am unable to provide a definitive date at this time for any announcement on the location or timetable for development of a permanent Scottish firm studio as soon as possible. Many thanks, John Pentland. I thank the cabinet secretary for replying. I hope that you enjoyed your trip to Hollywood. Obviously, I would want to see the studio in North Lanarkshire even though the proposal for one near Edinburgh would be called Pentland Studios. Will the cabinet secretary agree with me that we need to speed up progress on the proposal to use the industrial site in North Lanarkshire where the project would be both welcome and give a much needed boost to the local economy? I am aware of different proposals in relation to film studio location. All I can say at the moment is that our discussions are on going in relation to the proposal received by Scottish Enterprise. The member refers to the proposal or the studio located already in his regional constituency. I think that it's worth reminding everyone that the outlander production that is currently being filmed in Cumbernode has actually had a £38 million budget for its first season. Certainly, I was quite aware in my visit to the United States the huge impact that it is making and also delighted that it is filming in Scotland. In terms of delivering an economic impact do not underestimate that this is the biggest inward investment in terms of film activity that we have had in Scotland and it is very much to be welcomed. However, as he can appreciate, I can't give him further information about location or details of that information. Thank you, Patricia Ferguson. Thank you, Presiding Officer. As the cabinet secretary will be aware this is an issue that I have pursued for many years now. As recently as 28 April the cabinet secretary was kind enough to reply to a parliamentary question from me in the same terms that you understand the issues around due diligence and commercial confidentiality. However, I would be very interested to know if, when the cabinet secretary makes the announcement, which sounds to me as though it may well be fairly imminent, whether she will do so by statement to Parliament, inspired PQ or press release. First of all, I have got to confirm that there would be an announcement to be made and I said that due diligence has been completed but there are further issues that have to be addressed. I am very conscious of my responsibility to Parliament to make sure that I inform it in the appropriate way but I have not yet determined what that would be. Obviously, I would respect Parliament to be very much aware of the need to communicate whether it is by statement or indeed by question or indeed as I have previously to committees in terms of evidence. David Stewart, briefly. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The cabinet secretary will be well aware of the impact of the economic impact on Samarostig and the studio there and, indeed, of banning the Gaelic production and the impact that it has made not just in the sky but all over the world. I would like to say that I am pleased to be able to share what I have done and what I have done and what I have done and what I have done and what I have done not just in the sky but also in the western Isles and I think that it is really important in reflecting not just the scenery but the economic impact. We are not just a location, it is about the attractiveness of the skills and I think that the development particularly at Samarostig is be commended. It is about growing the infrastructure, yes but it is also about skills development as well as taking the benefit of our wonderful locations. I look from an art sector in Shetland. Creative Scotland is the national leader for Scotland's art screen in creative industries. It distributes funding on behalf of the government. In 2013 Creative Scotland invested over £745,000 in the Shetland Islands across 20 awards. An example of that is with Shetland Arts Development Agency. Creative Scotland annual clients who received £212,000 in 2013-14 Shetland Arts Development Agency will become a regularly funded organisation from 2015-16 with 750,000 over three years. Of course, the largest investment in Shetland was to Shetland Arts Development Agency for the development of the Muriel, the UK's most northerly music, cinema and creative industry centre, which was awarded over £2 million in 2008-9. I acknowledge that the Cabinet Secretary is aware of the Muriel centre, which is a wonderful broadcasting and film production unit in the islands. It's well used locally, but it has a lot of spare capacity. Can I ask the Cabinet Secretary what she's doing to try to attract the film industry to the Muriel centre following the popular TV series Shetland? Clearly, the Muriel has had challenges, and I've been very supportive of the Muriel. I've visited the Muriel on a number of occasions in terms of opportunities for further film activity with spare capacity. Obviously, if the member has ideas and opportunities for Muriel, I'd be more than happy to receive any suggestions in writing. I'll make sure that Creative Scotland has that. Alternatively, she may want to approach Creative Scotland directly. How does the Scottish Government support traditional Scottish music, which is a big part of Shetland's vibrant arts sector? Clearly, the wider agencies that are there are supported by the variety of the arts development will support different activities that are in Shetland. In terms of traditional music, Fesh Ross has been fantastic development, particularly in the Highlands and Islands. In terms of celebration of different events and festivals, such as Shetland Folk Festival in particular and Shetland Fiddl Frenzy, there are a number of different events that take place and are supported by the development of the skills, particularly by funding and applications, and anybody who applies whether it's in traditional music or others, has an opportunity to benefit from project funding, for example, from Creative Scotland. My name has not been lodged and an explanation has been provided. Question 5, Claudia Beamish. To ask the Scottish Government what support it will give to local festivals and community celebrations across our Scotland, such as the Belt and In Peebles, Lanhamers in Lanark and the Wickham and Festival in Dumfries and Galloway. All of Scotland's festivals, both big and small, national and outlook, such as the Wickham and Festival or community, are focused, such as the Peebles, Belt and In and Lanhamers in Lanark. They are a hugely important aspect of our culture. Scottish Government supports our festivals through Creative Scotland and visits Scotland's events directorate, Events Scotland. Creative Scotland supports festivals that apply directly to it for funding, while Events Scotland supports a portfolio of events through its national, international and beacon programmes, designed to assist events, grow their audience. Support is also available through themed year funding, which, in 2015, is linking inspirational events with the Year of Food and Drink. Thank you very much, Claudia Beamish. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. It is a testament indeed, as I am sure the cabinet secretary will agree, to local communities and imaginative individuals that, year after year, they commit voluntary time and money to support those festivals and celebrations. What support can be given specifically by Visit Scotland to help to promote and market those events to ensure that rural and small-town festivities do not lose out to the cities and that they are used to maximise home and foreign tourism opportunities, as there has been some disappointment in that regard so far? That is it. It is clear that the responsibility for Visit Scotland lies with Fergus Ewing as the tourism minister. However, as we have debated fairly recently in this chamber, the role of festivals and indeed rural festivals are very important to the economy of Scotland, and certainly in my discussions with Visit Scotland, part of what we want to try to promote is an awareness that you do not just come to the cities for cultural experiences that, in terms of, if you look across Scotland across the calendar year, you will find a festival of some description and we need to improve how we promote Scotland as a festival nation of a description in terms of marketing of that. However, that is a matter for Visit Scotland, and I will ask it to communicate with the member what plans it has. Excellent. Question 6, Ken Macintosh. Do you ask the Scottish Government when it last met Creative Scotland? The Scottish Government regularly meets Creative Scotland to discuss its plans, progress and priorities. Just recently, I attended the British Film Commission's familiarisation visit reception with Creative Scotland staff on 25 April. This event welcomed TV studio executives from Los Angeles to Scotland. I also met the new chair of Creative Scotland, Richard Finlay, on 1 April to discuss his new role. Ken Macintosh. Can I thank the minister for her answer? In the evidence to the Education and Culture Committee in their inquiry on the attainment gap in Scottish schools, the trade union unison was just one of many organisations that highlighted the importance of the arts. I think that they gave us their example, the benefit on your English marks, for example, of going to see a play as opposed to reading it out loud in the class. They then went on to highlight the importance of out-of-school charges and the importance therefore of being supported in school, but that charges were making this less like it. In other words, we are likely to increase the attainment gap. Can I ask the minister how much, either in percentage or real terms, is Creative Scotland spending on poorer and deprived households and helping them to access the arts? In terms of the exact amount, I would not necessarily be able to give you that in detail now, but I am happy to follow that up. Part of my discussion with the new chair was the three Government's priorities that I set out in our programme for government, of which tackling inequalities is one of them. There are different ways of doing that in relation to the attainment gap. I refer the member to one of the most seminal pieces of research that we have shown that although viewing and seeing plays productions is important, what has a bigger impact on young people is participation. Participation, regardless of parental income, will have a bigger influence on whether people subsequently enjoy arts as an adult. In terms of closing attainment gaps, or closing in the quality gap of any description, it is really important that we focus on participation. That is not to say that viewing and seeing productions is really important. One of the things that I have asked our national companies is that they already do a great deal of work in taking performances around the country, both our orchestras and indeed our theatre and ballet. I think that that is something that the Parliament should perhaps become more familiar with. I will ask them to make sure that they communicate with members the activity that they have in their own constituencies, reaching out to make sure that those young people who might never be taken to see a play or performance by the parents do have the opportunity to see such. Many thanks. Clare Baker. Thank you, Presiding Officer. At the weekend, I was at a paying artists campaign event, which was highlighting issues of artists not being paid. I am pleased that, since October, Creative Scotland has put it in its guidelines that they expect, if there is a funding application, that artists will be paid the standard rates. Cabinet Secretary, what more can be done to encourage and enforce those standards and rates of pay wider throughout the arts and cultural sector? I think that it is very important that Creative Scotland has made that a part of the requirements. Again, it is an issue that I have raised some time ago, before Clare Baker was in this position. I raised it proactively with Creative Scotland and the importance of paying artists. I think that there are two things. One is in terms of the public expectation and the second is in terms of funding requirements for funding bodies. I think that there is something about raising the awareness of the issue more generally. I think that far too often people think about charitable events or different events where you can ask people to come along and not expect them to be paid. I think that generally, across all of society, there is more to be done in recognising the importance of paying for that performance that you have received. That probably is the area that needs more focus and emphasis to seeing what is accessible or not. That is implicit on everybody asking at different events are artists being paid. To ask the Scottish Government what progress has been made in bringing to an end the dispute at the National Museum of Scotland. As I said in my response to Drusimus MSP last week, I have met with both the chair and director of the museums and representatives of the unions and strongly encouraged both sides to develop a more productive working relationship to try and negotiate an agreement that should resolve the dispute. The two sides met most recently on 13 April and have agreed to maintain contact. Given that the justice secretary managed to get £7 million out of the finance secretary to prevent a strike in the prison service and are up to this and next year's election, does the cabinet secretary for culture have so little clout in the cabinet that she cannot even weasel £200,000 from John Swinney to pay low-pay staff in the National Museums, the money that is owed for working unsociable hours? Can I ask her, will she spare us in her answer any reference to Wales, England, Ulan, Bator or indeed anybody else that she has no responsibility for and instead concentrates her answer on what she does have responsibility for? I say to the member, of course, the reason he does not want me to mention Wales is because they are wanting to take away weekend working allowances from those who already have it. That is not the situation here in Scotland. I would hope that, clearly, the member would do a bit of research before he comes. He knows that he was in the chamber when I made it clear last week that the cost of the proposal would be £400,000 a year. That is an estimation of the next spending review of £1.2 million. He is also wrong in another area. There is no strike agreement with the PAOA in Scotland. Of course, the only person who did it introduced that was Jack Straw, a Labour Home Secretary. He is also wrong on another count. Point of order, Mr Finlay. I wonder if the cabinet secretary will reflect on her comments and correct her record. I never said that there was a no strike agreement. Maybe she will correct her record when she gets the opportunity. Mr Finlay, you very well know that that is not a point of order, but you have made your point. Cabinet Secretary, please conclude. The cabinet secretary is wrong on a third element, because the SPS found funding within its existing budget, because the agreement was made in good faith to incentivise engagement of prisoner and officer staff in a process of discussion. The issue that we have to have in relation to the NMS is to try and get both parties to actually have a discussion that is not just predicated on reintroduction or introduction of a new weekend working allowance to staff on new contracts since 2011. Question 8. I ask the Scottish Government how it monitors proceedings at the European Parliament. The Scottish Government monitors proceedings in the European Parliament through the Scottish Government's EU office based in Brussels. I am sure that the cabinet secretary and indeed the Scottish Government cabinet will be fully aware of the medium combustion plants directive, which has the potential to cost thousands of jobs and slow down North Sea oil production by up to 60 per cent. So why did Scottish Nationalist MEPs in the last hour choose not to vote for Ian Duncan's amendment to exempt North Sea oil rigs? The matter is for the European Parliament and the matter is for the European Parliament. The member might not have noticed, but I have been in this chamber since the beginning of the session at 2 o'clock when I led a debate on the Mediterranean deaths of migrants. In terms of the reference issue that was made to the medium combustion plants directive, the Scottish Government is fully aware of the issue. In terms of what that means for Scotland in co-operation with the UK Parliament representation in the EU office, we have been working with the policy team in this issue. We have offered further briefing to all Scottish MEPs on the importance of the issue and directed them to the Scottish and Southern EU liaison officer in relation to some of those issues. We are aware of them. They have been discussed not just here but also in the European Parliament. However, I am not accountable for events in Brussels within the last hour. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the Scottish commemorations programme's first world war commemorations for 2015. The programme events to commemorate one date of particular relevance to the people of Scotland's progressing well for both 2015 and beyond to 2019. On Saturday 25 April, the First Minister and I were privileged to take part in the dawn service for the Gallipoli and Anzac Day commemorations at Edinburgh Castle. The next national event is the commemoration of the Quintas Hill rail disaster, which will take place with services in both Gretna and Rosebank Cemetery lease on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 this month. In Stirling on 4 June, I will attend an evening reception followed by Hugh Strawn's lecture on the search for solutions commemorating the troops leaving Scotland for Gallipoli from Stirling Castle. That will mark the opening of a weekend of commemorative activity in Stirling with a photographic exhibition played by local children and displays by military bands from both Scotland and Turkey. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer and offer my own personal congratulations to the Scottish commemorations panel on its successful programme of events last year. However, will the cabinet secretary provide an update on the progress of the centenary memorials restoration fund and confirm which war memorial projects in the west of Scotland region have benefited from the fund? I am not aware of the detail from the west of Scotland in particular. Indeed, the commemorative memorial restoration fund is being run by Historic Scotland and I will ask it to provide particular details to the member. I might add that Heritage Lottery fund is responsible for some of those, so I will identify which ones are from Heritage Lottery as well. I think that the member is right to pay tribute to the work of the Scottish commemorations panel. They have set a range of different events in a very considerate and thoughtful way, and I would like to thank in particular Chair Norman Drummond and all the members of board for guiding us through the next few years. That concludes portfolio questions, and it is now time to move on to the next item of business, which is decision time and to which we now come. There are two questions to be put as a result of today's business. The first question is that motion 13090 in the name of Joe Fitzpatrick on approval of an SSI be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are. The second question is that motion 13091 in the name of Joe Fitzpatrick on committee membership be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are. That concludes decision time, and I now close this meeting of parliament.


This study found that Candida species were prevalent in hospitalized neonatal and children in intensive care units, ICUs, and neonatal intensive care units, NICUs. Of these, the most commonly identified species was C. Albicans, followed by C. Tropicalis, C. Globrata, and Candida species. Additionally, the study showed that 70.3% of the tested species were sensitive to fluconazole at concentrations of less than or equal to A.G. slash M.L. While 9, 14.1% of isolates were resistant to amphotericine be a greater than or equal to A.G. slash M.L.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will discuss the following question and the question says, write the following sets in description form. First part, a Socialist Triangle, Equilateral Triangle, Skinny Triangle. Second part, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 21, 32, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Before we start solving the question, let us first recall what is description form of a set. In this form, we write the description of the members of the set stating the common property of the set. So, this is a key idea for this question and using this key idea, we will solve the question. Let's start the solution now. In part 1, we have a Socialist Triangle, Equilateral Triangle and Skinny Triangle. These are types of triangles based on sides. Now, we have to write the set in description form. That is, we will write the description of the members of the set stating the common property of the set. Now, the common property between these three elements is that there are types of triangles based on sides. So, the given set can be written in description form as set A is equal to the set containing types of triangles based on sides. So, then this is. So, this is our answer for part 1. In part 2, we have the numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42. Now, we can see that 1 into 32 is equal to 42. 2 into 21 is equal to 42. 3 into 14 is equal to 42 and 6 into 7 is equal to 42. So, we can see that all these numbers are factors of 42. That is, all these numbers are factors of 42. So, the common property between all these numbers is that they are factors of 42. So, the given set can be written in description form as set B is equal to the set containing all factors of 42. This is our answer for part 2. Now, in part 3, we have the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Now, all these numbers lie between 3 and 10. That is, all these numbers are greater than 3 and less than 10. So, this is the common property between all these elements. So, the given set can be written in description form as set C is equal to the set containing all numbers lying between 3 and 10. This is our answer for part 3 and with this we end our session. Hope you enjoyed the session. Thank you.


See I started off as a very young person you know at the age of 20 I started my entrepreneurial journey and from the time I started to today it's grown quite a lot from zero base actually to this year hopefully a 10,000 crore company with a market cap of almost like 65,000 crores. So I think it's worked out well I've learned a lot I have made a lot of mistakes and as the business has grown I have shifted my role when I was very small I was doing things on my own I used to have my distributor, interact with an agent and things like that and as a business guru I started recruiting talent so my role shifted from from doing things to getting things done. The formation of Mariko gave me an opportunity to play a larger role and I think at that time that was the big turning point because I had all the freedom to do whatever I wanted to do and if I look back at my own journey I think I made the right choices in terms of the portfolio of products we should operate in where we had the right to win and if you look at our portfolio of all the brands we have we are market leaders in most of the categories all the products we are presented so it was very important to be a market leader because if you are a market leader then it gives you economic skills it gives you the pricing power you dominate so you are able to protect your profits. So I think one is to look at change from opportunistic point of view there are two aspects to change any change could impact you negatively from a state perception it could provide you some your opportunity and I think if entrepreneurs look at how do you create opportunities out of this change I think that can help them to sum up you have to what are the opportunities that are giving out of change can you thrive on this change rather than getting bogged down about the threat part of the change of course you don't manage your business well then it could be threatening organizations have to innovate and many a times you may have the best innovation you may think it may succeed but unless you try it out in the marketplace you will not know whether it's working or not and if you are having a fear of failure then what will happen is you stop taking this you will always think of doing more market research or all these care and not launch a product at some stage the only way to test out your innovation is in the marketplace and it's okay to fail because if you don't fail you will not succeed and if I look back at my own journey whenever I fail I have there has been some learning which I use it for subsequent kind of initiatives so I think that's the key thing which comes to me that you know the organization with individuals should not have the fear of failure because if you have the fear of failure you will not take risk and you will not expect that


Tornadoes or twisters are columns of dangerously fast rotating air formed from storm clouds. When the narrow end of the funnel touches ground, it becomes a tornado. This part of the funnel can be almost two miles wide. The most dangerous tornadoes have 200 mile per hour winds that can pick up and carry a house. Most are much smaller, but still dangerous. The majority of the world's tornadoes occur in the United States in an area called Tornado Alley. Tornado alerts are broadcast over radio, TV, smartphones, and with sirens. If a tornado approaches, shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows and doors.

I have hope, like today I thought we'd comfortably beat Looton a did, I thought we'd have to work hard, but comfortably I mean, we have more quality you can see that, taking anything away from them, they have not spent hardly any money, but they are not a very good side, they're a big physical championship side is what we look like, but I'm not having a go at them, they haven't spent the money that we've spent, so you get it. But I thought we beat them today, we're coming off the back of two good results I thought, the confidence will be up, we'll go on the front foot, the manager will pick it and attack inside, and he didn't, and we've lost any emphasis, there's nothing about good as in park now that worries anybody. I've had a day manager just a quote from him saying I've fancied us today, Looton Tarn, not one again, only scored goals from penalties, come here and said I fancied us to win, because, and rightly so, so we should have done as well, we're terrible at home, and that means everybody should have fancied themselves with gooders and I'm sure Bournemouth will come next week, haven't won again, we'll come think and we'll beat this. And I couldn't sit here now and tell you that we'll win because I actually fancied Bournemouth again next week because I just don't know what we're doing at home, we play the formation today, that was an away formation. The core is non-existent in most home games, you might pop up with the odd goal but away from home is key because obviously we play differently, James Garner trying to shoo on him into the team on the right hand side, this really should have been two isn't it, let's go to two, one is good as an ins terrible, we've got to correct it, I don't know how we do, different tactics, get on the front foot, don't stop running. That's how you make hold of something, because the crowd who are silent today won't respond to nonsense which they're watching. The second thing is tactics today, some of the teams are like, why is Ashley Young playing today? Nathan Patterson's fit has just played a fellow, why is Ashley Young playing right back? I don't get it, I don't get it. We've needed energy to them saying, Patterson's been brilliant cos he hasn't, and the sad thing is sad, but just because we should have, someone should have laid clay into this right back spot is that James Coleman walks right back into the side at the moment, because Patterson hasn't took his chance. Young, for me, isn't good enough to play there, good utility play, good to touch in and do a job now and again, but when you need energy at home, he wouldn't have played there for me, Garner wouldn't have played on the right hand side, he tried that against Fulham and Walsh if they didn't work either time, doesn't work, he doesn't work on the right hand side. By all means, if you want to play James Garn, if you think he deserves to start today, then play him in the middle of the field, and that's really where he should have gone. It's been brave, tactically, woeful today from the manager, really, really poor, and the players really poor as well. Just one of them, I'd love to say it's just one of those days, I'd love to be sat here and we've won a few of the last few games and go, we were awful today, manager got it wrong, players didn't respond, just one of those days, but following a familiar pattern, when do we look and go? We keep playing and getting beat at home, how many times, you know, I used it against Fulham and said, it's disappointing, but we had all the chances and we had those moments and we take them and blah, blah, blah, we win the game, but they just keep going on, they just keep rolling into the next one, into the next one, how many times can you go, oh, we had chances, didn't we? That second half was diabolical, it was as bad as anything you'll see, there was no clue what we were doing, apart from tossing it up to Don, and hoping he could win it. That isn't a tactic for me, it's not good enough, it's just really poor. And it was born out for me of the wrong players, and then putting them on, patishing on, late on and putting Danjir on with five or six minutes to go, I mean, what's that about? Dwight McNeill was awful, was awful today, he's been, you know, last year, brilliant second half of the season, tremendous, he's not up to speed at the moment, today was awful, and he should have been hooked after 70 minutes, and he wasn't, he was left on for another thing, he's given Danjir, you remember saying? It was amazing, but you're trying to put Luton to give them a different challenge, and it's really, really, it's so frustrating, and it's horrible to watch, because you're watching the club, you know, keep going to gooders and hoping something's gonna happen, you walk out with a defeat, I'm fed up with sitting there, looking at the clock with 15 minutes left, and we're chasing again, it's just, it's becoming, honestly. Oh, my God, it's so frustrating. Third talking point, I don't know, I'm onto the finish on a positive, but I don't think there is one today, I don't think there is a positive. The referee, he was awful, but he is awful, Anthony Taylor, this adding time on, Luton wasted time from the first minute, goalkeeper moving the ball around 25 seconds between goal kicks, Dave must have had every player go down, as if he were dead, and all that, and it's up to Danjir, I don't blame Luton for doing that, it's the stuff you do away, and they're gonna need to do that to get any results this season. The referee's got to stamp it out, allowed them to do it, allowed them to do whatever they were taking throw into 20 yards higher up the pitch, the goalkeeper, like he said, is moving things around, plays a role around, like the finish, and then the next minute they're back on the pitch, and they allowed it to go on. But the extra time they're at the end is the thing really, that just winds me up, there should have been at least 10, 11, 12 minutes injury time now, the amount of subs there was, the amount of time they were asking about on the floor, there was easily 10, 11, 12 minutes, and he played 7, but to be honest, if I'm being perfectly honest, he could have played 39 extra minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, ever more than the score today. So there you go, I couldn't find anything up beat to finish with, so there you go. If you're the person who met me after the game from door to door, you have the safety in your own, go up at 4 o'clock this morning to come up and watch that, so there's brilliant support, but you deserve better. Right, thanks for watching, give the video a thumbs up if you want, subscribe if you want, or put as much effort in as Everton and the coaching staff have done this weekend. See you later.


The good news of the incarnation that we often forget. The message of the Christmas season that we wish would last throughout the year. It's not that Jesus was born, lived, died, and lived again. It's that Jesus was born, lived, died, and continues to live through the spirit, through the church, through each of us.
