To ask the Scottish Government what action it can take in relation to the reported shortage of trading standards officers in Scotland. The Scottish Government's vision is for an enforcement system that is comprehensive, effective and widely respected. The Scottish Government has set up the working group for consumer and competition policy, which is considering the most effective arrangements for delivering consumer and competition services in Scotland. It will make its recommendations to the Scottish Government in November this year. The Scottish Government will continue to work in partnership with interested groups to create an integrated consumer protection regime that puts the interests of consumers first and gives consumers greater clarity on where to turn for help and advice. I thank the cabinet secretary for his reply. Trading standards officers undertake an important service protecting both the public and legitimate businesses from rogue traagers. The cabinet secretary will be aware that, in February 2013, Audit Scotland warned that trading standards had experienced greater than average staff reductions and that the long-term viability of these council services was under threat. Since that warning, a further one in eight staff has been lost. Can the cabinet secretary explain why it is taking so long to act on Audit Scotland's concerns? The first thing that I would say is that I agree wholeheartedly with the point that Dr Murray made about the vital role that trading standards officers undertake in Scotland, because they are to provide advice and guidance to members of the public who may be in a very vulnerable situation as a consequence of an experience that they have had in relation to consumer policy. In connection with the Audit Scotland report, the working group that we have established is exploring many of the issues in this whole area of policy, where, of course, there is some further devolution of responsibilities coming to the Scottish Parliament, but we are also taking into account the findings of the Audit Scotland report to ensure that we create a system in Scotland that provides the necessary assurance and support to individuals. That will be at the heart of the material that comes to Government in November and the shape of the Government's response. Finally, I think that the timescale for addressing those issues has been pretty swift by the Government. We have seen the conclusions of the Smith commission, we have adapted our approach to take that into account and we have a very broad base of stakeholder opinion participating to the working group, which I warmly welcome. Cabinet Secretary will be aware that, prior to the reorganisation of local government in 1996, trading standards were the responsibility of regional councils. I understand that there is support for a return to a regional model of service provision again. If the cabinet secretary can give serious consideration to alternatives that retain some local accountability, rather than just centralising the service as a national quango? As Elaine Murray will know, the Government is very committed to ensuring that we devolve services to local levels. The removal of ring fencing, which the Scottish Government undertook back in 2007, gave significant greater flexibility to local authorities to determine their choices in their localities. If there is an appetite amongst local authorities to try to draw together some of those services on a wider basis to secure their sustainability, I would be very open to that conversation with local government and to find ways in which we could do that. What I am confident about is that there is a very good atmosphere for discussing those issues involving the various stakeholders who have been part of our working group and the wider discussion that has been taken forward by the Society of Chief Officers of Trading Standards in Scotland and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities. The point that Dr Murray makes is a reasonable suggestion, and I will ensure that that is reflected on in the Government's thinking. The cabinet secretary will be aware that I spent most of my working career as a trading standards officer. I am currently a vice-president of the UK's Chartered Trading Standards Institute. That problem started 20 years ago when the regional councils were abolished and it has got much worse in recent years. Very small local authorities—there are trading standards of a very small number of people involved, so very small authorities cannot really deal with the huge myriad of issues across the consumer protection landscape. Would the cabinet secretary value further devolution of all consumer protection to this Parliament? We are currently going to get advocacy and advice, and we can look at the structures. Does he think that it would help if the full powers in relation to consumer protection were devolved? I would also like to encourage him to certainly go for bigger units, but there have been many schemes in the past—voluntary schemes for local government to combine. Every single one has failed, and that has been the case across the whole of the UK. The Parliament has benefited enormously from the contribution that Mr Thomson has just put on the record in relation to the experience of the operation and development of the service over a long number of years. I thank him very much for that very helpful contribution. The point at heart is about two points that Mr Thomson raised that I want to respond to. The first is on the additional powers that we will attract. There are four pillars of competence that are essential around the areas of consumer protection—advocacy and advice, which will be coming to the Scottish Parliament, but also enforcement and redress. Part of how I am trying to approach the Scotland Bill provisions is to find ways in which we can look at cohesive ways in which policy can be taken forward to ensure that we are able to deliver on the expectations of members of the public. The point about cohesion is a very strong point that Mr Thomson has made. His second point is on the whole nature of drawing together local authorities into co-operative and collaborative units by voluntary co-operation. I hear his words of caution about how successful that approach might be. Notwithstanding what has happened in the past, this type of co-operation is going to become essential in the future. Local authorities are going to have to work more closely together and to share services and to collaborate more widely, because that will be the necessary element of how we deal with the financial challenges that we face. If local authorities do not do that and do not try to safeguard and improve services as a consequence, then what will happen is that there will be a diminuation of the services to people in Scotland. Dr Murray does not want that. Mr Thomson does not want that. I do not want that, so we will work with local government to achieve as much as we can in this area of policy. Question 2, Patrick Harvie. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on allowing mixed sex couples to form civil partnerships. The Government issued a consultation on the review of civil partnership on 22 September. In that, the Government indicated that we are not persuaded that mixed sex civil partnership should be introduced in Scotland. However, the consultation invites views on that position. As the member who proposed when civil partnerships were first being debated, that when they were created, they should be created on the basis of equality, open to mixed sex couples as well as same sex couples, I, like most MSPs, was very happy to welcome that principle of equality being applied to marriage. There is now no legal bar on same sex couples marrying on a basis of equality to which most of us agree that they are entitled. It seems to me bizarre that we do not apply the same test to civil partnership. Why does the minister feel that a mixed sex couple whose neighbours a same sex couple can choose cohabitation, civil partnership or marriage based on their own values and priorities? Why should that mixed sex couple not feel discriminated against in law by having a legal barrier placed against them to one of those legitimate options? I take a moment to join Patrick Harvie in welcoming the support that this Parliament did show for same sex marriage. It was a real landmark moment of this session that many of us were not just happy to see but were personally very proud to be involved in. The consultation is setting out three options here, one of which is the introduction of opposite sex civil partnerships. It carries with that the view that having considered it we think there are arguments against. We think that there would be issues over low demand, about limited recognition in particular elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the lack of necessary understanding about opposite sex civil partnership and indeed the rather liberal rights that we do have around marriage in Scotland which puts the couple at the heart giving tremendous flexibility over where it may be held, how it may be held and who can officiate at that. The great challenge for this Parliament has been to legislate for the same sex marriage and we have done so. This is another issue that we committed to considering, we are now considering it and I would invite anybody who does think that way to give their views to the consultation. Mr Harvie? If low demand and the prospect of limited recognition overseas were legitimate reasons not to act then no country would have been the first to introduce equal marriage for same sex couples. They would have anticipated both arguments and they would have taken no action. The minister is right to say that these three options are presented in the paper but option one no change and option two of closing down future civil partnerships both have the arguments for and against presented. Option three of mixed sex civil partnership doesn't have those arguments fairly represented. Can the minister confirm that, if the response to the consultation comes back and shows that there is an argument, a strongly held argument in favour of mixed sex civil partnerships, the Scottish Government remains open to the option? The Scottish Government's position is that, having looked at the evidence, we are not persuaded that mixed sex civil partnership should be introduced in Scotland. Clearly it is in the consultation and we are inviting comment. There have been many consultations over the years that state an outset position that invites comment on them and the Government considers that. The Government will fully consider everything that comes into the consultation. I would draw a parallel, for example, with 2011, where we produced a consultation at the start on same sex marriage, which indicated that the Government tended towards the view that same sex marriage should be introduced, signalling a view while still allowing everybody to give their views. Again, I encourage everybody who has a strong view on that to submit it to the consultation. The equal marriage pledge supported by a majority of members on all sides of this chamber says, I pledge to support the equal marriage campaign to lift the ban on same sex marriage and mixed sex civil partnerships in Scotland. Do the Scottish Government appreciate that, if the Parliament accepts its opposition to mixed sex civil partnerships, we are breaking our promise to the people of Scotland? The central and overriding issue of the pledge was to introduce same sex marriage. As I said, we are all proud to have done so. The Government, as opposed to MSPs, has been clear all along in that. As part of that process, civil partnership would be reviewed and that is what we are now doing. As I said, there are three options on the table that we have given an initial view and I would encourage everybody to respond.

Hi, welcome to the interview. Interview? Yeah, you were just the closest one, so I called you in. I'm not entirely sure how this process goes, either. I think we introduce ourselves, so I'm the Zoom and Overmind central repository for our species' entire consciousness. Same. That's the spirit. Have a seat. I'm still confused. What is this for, exactly? Oh, a job. A new one. I'm kind of making it up as I go. It's hard to explain. Basically, I just think things would be a little easier if there was more of me. There's billions of you. No, I know. But like, two of that. You know what I mean? I think so. Anyway, I don't know how to find someone for this, so I figure I'll just promote from within. I don't know. This is how the humans do it. What would you say is your greatest strength? Working for half price. And then it's just downhill from there. I'm a scientist. This job requires you to be scientist, governor, admiral, general. You have to deal with planetary resources, the economy, interstellar relations. I got to be an expert in like all that stuff. So can you take any of that off my plate? I don't see how. Of course you don't because you can't because you're me and I'm already doing it all. And you don't even know how bad it is because neither do I. Why are you doing this? Because being the sole head of a hive mind is exhausting. You have to do every job by yourself, even when yourself is an empire. You don't get to take breaks. You don't get days off. I don't even get to oppress people for fun because you're all just me. We own that race of sentient cactus people. How do you oppress a cactus? You can't. I mean, everything else is great. The hive is happy. The hive is happy. Happiness is irrelevant. And we're only happy because I haven't checked all these notifications about everything that's going wrong. Why? Because keeping secrets from a collective consciousness is impossible. And if we all find out I'm incompetent, there's nothing we can do about that. I'm sure you're doing fine. Let's take a look. So it seems like in this sector, no one's producing food, even though all they have is farms. Why? I don't know. And even if I did, I can't manage to keep up with it all. There's a giant Rubik's cube trying to teach us the secrets of the universe. Don't have time for that. We've been at war with some geckos for a while and I wasn't paying attention. So our troops have done nothing. Here's a fun one. Our head of research got trapped in a time hurricane. So we had to hire a new one, but then the old one came back from the time hurricane. And we had too many leaders and our economy exploded. And I kind of feel like you should have heard about that one. I was actually the one in the time hurricane. Oh, well, that explains the gap in your resume. I didn't give you one. I knew it before you got here. This is blank. What do we do? Two overmines. That's what I'm doing. That's what this whole thing is and it's not working. It's just adding two infinities together and I need a nap. You got the job. Hi, welcome to the interview. This is not helping. Thanks so much for watching. If you and a friend have ever wanted to try Solaris and aspire to be a cooperative hive mind, boy do I have good news. Solaris just got a co-op update and is free to play this weekend from today to the 26th. Thanks to Paradox for sponsoring this video and shout out to the Discord Hive Mind for making it possible.


Hello and good morning. Welcome to our presentation and thank you for coming. I'm Paulie Wong and this is my partner, Caleb Jane. Hello everyone. Thanks for coming. And we are both studying business at the Paulie U. So do you know what an intelligent building is? Actually intelligent buildings have been developed since the 1980s and since then interests have been growing in them. However, they have not been used as widely as expected. We can't see many examples in the world and there are not many at all in Hong Kong. City Bank Plaza being one of the few instances. So why aren't there more intelligent buildings in Hong Kong? Well that is what we will answer in our presentation today. We'd like to show you some of the advantages and disadvantages of intelligent buildings and then discuss why this type of building is not used for residential buildings in Hong Kong. We have divided our presentation into four sections. First, I will tell you what the features of intelligent buildings are. Then I will look at the advantages. Next, I will hand you over to Caleb who will analyze the drawbacks and will finally give a conclusion as to why this type of building is not used for housing in our city. After that, we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. The presentation will last around 10 minutes and we have included a complete reference list on our final slide. Okay, I will start now by explaining to you some of the features of intelligent buildings. Derek Kluemertz, Coombe in his 2004 book, Stay Stats.


The idea that death or mortality is what gives life meaning is not particularly new and it has been presented in all sorts of variations in movies, literature, philosophy, you name it. The basic idea is that no matter how much we might fear it, death is necessary to give life meaning and even make things enjoyable. It's such an old and well-established trope that it has become common wisdom. It sounds deep and wise. Fine, but is it true? Does death give life meaning?


Who's going to be the lucky bugger to hit the bomb? It's you! Your prize is dead! So is mine! Hello everyone and welcome back to episode 2 of our playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West. I always think Horizon Zero Dawn is just the title, but I don't think it is. So we have just taken down a slither fang? It's something like that. Pretty, pretty killer. Don't mean to brag. Also, yeah, audio, I realized that sometimes I blew out the mic because I've just switched to a better mic for this recording. Because I wanted to make sure it was like the best quality it could get. So now, now we need to find a way out. And I think I seize it! Hold on! I love that. Oh, it's beautiful! So, I'm playing this before... If only it were that easy. I can't remember what I was going to say now. Damn it, Aloy! Yeah, there's no day one patch. Yet, maybe this lackiness will be fixed. I haven't even looked at the recording too much. I don't even think I noticed it, if I'm going to be honest. So, yeah, I gotta remember to just like do that. Is that a... These are just all... Ooh, wow, there's loads. Hold on, hold on. Before we go that way, I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything here. Ooh! Oh my god! This is worth it, mind all the bitcoin! Before it all collapsed and everyone lost it on NFTs. Ha! Ooh. Oh, greeny! Yeah, if you were close. I mean, I've just started the game pet! We've got so much more to do! Oh, we got a log. Is it an audio log or is it a... Hold on, I need to click in. There we go. It's not. Let's have a quick check of it. I'm not used to holding it in. Uh, data corruption partial. On the matter of Mr. Dalgarde, he's been a valuable member of a far zenith for years! Yadda yadda hill... Yes, lots of stuff. Stuff that for a playthrough we're not going to stop and read everything. But if you want to pause it, feel free to do that. I will not hold you accountable. You know it's not going to be. You know it's not going to be. It can't be that easy. Hey, our first main mission completed! Maybe we did complete the game. Maybe it was that easy. It's here. Nice! Hello. Hi. I'm not too sure what this is all about. Fair enough. We're going to censor all that. Wait, so did he just corrupt the files? Interesting. So how about breeze down here? It's nothing but a fake! I am! You got me! Oh, oh, I feel a title screen coming. I was going to say he didn't help in the whole other way though. He probably stepped on his head. I'm sorry. You have a sharp bite sometimes, you know. But it was pretty amazing to see you fly off that tower and blow up the entire basin. I'm kind of cool. I'm out of leads, Farrell. But I have to keep searching. And fast and whatever risks I have to take, I will.  Someone who might get hurt. This is on me, Farrell. Nobody else. Hold on. Before, in Meridian, you said there was a man who helped you. Silence. I used to talk to him a lot about things you discovered from the old world. Things no one else understands. And he gave you the lance you used to defeat Hades. He's gone, Farrell. I haven't heard from him since the battle against Hades. Sure, but Spymaster Merad back in Meridian, he's good at finding people, isn't he? Spymaster! Whoa! Plus, you'll get to see some friendly faces again. I guess it's worth a shot. We've got a long walk ahead. Actually, I've got a better idea. What are they called? Broad beans. Charges. I like it. The point of the lance. A new interlude. Wait, hold on. Graphics need to load. There we go. Ah, remember this place? Yes, I know. This is us. The savior of Meridian has returned. This is all you can muster? You saved them. Not yet. In the name of the Sun King of Vard, a royal welcome for the champion. Abley has an urgent matter to discuss. Dashane. That makes two of us. I've sent forth hunters for weeks. The sun fall all the way to the sacred land, searching for you. Something happened at the spire. I'll show you. What is it, John Hammond? What's your step? You saved us all to be sure, but we're still cleaning up the mess. That's right. Scrub. It happened right after the solstice. We were able to explain it away, thank the sun. Otherwise, it might have caused a panic. Did it ever rain here? No, I think it did. It does rain. Oh, look, me! Yes, that's more like it. More of those, please. For this one, half a minute, glowed in angry red. From meridian, it looked like a trick of the lights. But those who were closer, atop the alight, said it could not have been a reflection. Much to my dismay, they said the light rose up from the tower's base. From that. We left everything just as it was. The great bore lives. What do you think happened? I don't know. Aspire's supposed to send out signals. Messages for the terraforming system. But Hades tried to use it to wake up ancient war machines. I was sure I cut the connection to that thing. Wait here while I check it out. No, you did it! That's not what you find. Well, goodbye, you're all with me anyway. And Whitney, like, she wanted to get my attention. She's like, looking around the door. She's like, ah, men of a cutscene. I've got a bad feeling about this. I do, too. It's laggy. Looks the same as before. Or is it? Oh, yeah, that's right. We need that stick. That was his. Is it supposed to do something? Ah, colors, yes. Oh, he used me all the whole time! Wait, so I can track him down. Uh... So that's how he captured Hades. Oh. Oh, okay. I guess I- I guess I climb. Alright. Um... I gotta climb onto that, then... Then what? Do I not just want to go around? Where's my statue? Yes! Me! I like this. I want to read it. Or look at it very closely. Yes. Yeah, you're right. It needs to be at least five times as tall! Right, I'm assuming... That we've, yeah... Okay. Up we go! Do we jump off backwards? Hell yeah! Use right stick to move the camera. Tap circle to jump. Hey, hey, hey! Ah, I'm so good! So what we'll do is we'll try and, um, like, rapid-fire out these episodes. Of course, you know, we don't want to just, like... I don't want to just, like, run through it and miss loads of things, though. So I will take my time, but, uh... That's the theory. Ho-ho! Hold L2 and tap triangle to pull out rope caster. Oh! Right. So I want to pull this towards me. Oh, even more puzzles! Oh! Right! Oh, God. Oh, and that's how I'm going to get in! Okay, I mean... Let's go! Ha! There we go! Saw it! No, he had ulterior motives. It's for the greater good. Oh, was I s- did I want to go that way? I think I might want to go that way. Yes, I think I did. Yeah. Come on then! Yeah! Whoop! Can I go up through the inside? Ooh! Yes, we can! Uh, youp! What you think is? It's like a cauldron. So do we have his... Oh, no, we don't have his spear, because it, like, disintegrated, didn't it? I forgot about that. It was a whole two seconds ago. Oh, ominous. What will this tell us? Oh, God, a double elevator! This is sweet! Just shove it in. It'll do. It'll work. Make it blue? Instead of red. Blue's good. Red's evil. That way! Raw credits! How could you be so reckless? Oh! Haha! He hasn't done anything too bad. Like, you know, he's alright. He's made progress. I guess you would be frustrated if you spent all this time, got Noah, and you could have easily just, like, found him up here. Okey-dokey. Return to Maraud and Val. Well, they're right here! Oh, that was lucky! A trest is called forbidden for a reason. A tribe of ferocious warriors controls much of it. The Tenakth. And they allow no trespasses past its border. That said, under the Sun King of Ard, a fragile peace has been negotiated. And indeed, the next embassy will take place in a day or two on the edge of the frontier. The way you two attend the gathering under his auspices, the Tenakth might grant right of passage instead of hunting you and attacking on sight. Great. Just what I need. More killers. The Sun King. Oh, there he is! Haha! Prig my parasols! For a ceremony of offering at the palace. But I thought you would prefer a less formal occasion. Bring them, please. Avad, this is all very kind, but I... Uthich. Venasha. Quick. Better hand them over before she runs off again. Really. Must you. Oh. Another poor d-stick. Try it on. These are great. Thanks, thanks. On behalf of all the citizens of the Sundom, may these tokens remind you of our eternal gratitude. Yes. How much does this sell for? Is she who you helped hunt with? Perhaps you'll need to spend more time with your friends. Come speak to me when you're ready to depart. Oh, so we've got the main quest and then side quests to catch up, I see. Okay, okay. They're kind of curious, like... Whoa. We don't know much of the map. Our memory's been wiped. Modify your spear. Talk to your friends. Who's this little whippersnapper? You be busy. Haha! Against the forces of shadow. Did I say right? No. You said it wrong, Batman. Again? You're welcome. Champion, will you teach me how to shoot like a real machine hunter? Yeah, go on, let's go. I uh... I want an important mission, Prince. To save the world? Something like that. But when I come back, I could give you a few tips. It would be an honor. We owe you our lives, champion. And we will not forget. Sunlight your way. Watch out for thunder draws, champion. Oh. Gotta love her till you're ex. Alright. So now I can talk to you. Do I want to talk to the king? I think he's by himself just with one dude. They having a good conversation there? Oh no, they are actually having a conversation. Don't mind. Hold on. I want to modify my speed. Go on. I think this is... Nope, nope. I'm just defiling a sacred place. Defended this place from Hades. Oh. Is this a... This... Oh! Freaking... Whatever it's called. Bellyback? I can't remember what it's called. Alright, okay. Maybe it's up here. Where's my workbench? There. The workbench. Ha ha! Alright, let's see what we can do. I'm sure it's some crafty, crafty muggable. Install the master override and a new module to enable the build up and release of kinetic energy in combat. Ooh! I'm not going to say no to that, I suppose. Sweet! Alright. Yeah, should help if I do that. Miss it. Even if you did, leave us hanging after the big battle. Venasha, stop. She's here now, isn't she? For the moment. But I see that look on her face. She's got business to attend to. And it isn't in Meridian. You know, I didn't vanish before because I wanted to. I had... No, Huntress. Please. You don't have to justify yourself to us. You saved our butts. If you've got to go, go. With our blessing. Always. Why do I not remember these? At all. I'm assuming he's like a Shadow Carger. Uh... It's been months since I was in Sunfall. What's become of the Shadow Carger? Ha. After you wiped out the eclipse, there were hardly any priests or offices left to terrorize the little people. Avad offered amnesty to all who were forced to serve the Shadow. So the comminers cleaned out the citadel and handed it back to him. The sundom was unified. Avad wanted Uthe to take command of the garrison there. But Captain Cuddly here refused. Rumor has it that he wanted to stay close to me here in Meridian. That's nonsense, of course. Alright, I'll see you later. Well, I know... I know you're out. Go. Away with you. Always an honor, champion. Always a pleasure. But please, little huntress, come back someday and tell us about your adventures. If I can't get in trouble, at least I can hear about yours. Now... Bye! Right. Well, I guess we should talk to the king, eh? He's came all this way. He's given me some gifts. Right. How do I store up the energy? Do I, like, hold it? Oh, it is. Ooh, I like it. Hold R2 to charge up a power attack. Power attacks are very strong, but leave you vulnerable while charging them. Do I get, do I, do I know when it's charged? Nah. I assume after a certain period of time, I suppose. Go on then. Away with you. Come on. Wrong! After years of hostility, we've negotiated a truce. In hopes of a lasting peace. Another embassy will be held in just a day or two. Years of hostility? Embassy? Itemen? Let's talk about this hostility then. Resisting as best they could. But none fought back like the Tanath. They rose up and assaulted our western front at Baron Light, sweeping us from their lands. Getting them to talk to us again after that was... tricky. Right, yeah. Cause that was all like, they needed to sacrifice to the sun, sort of thing. Eh, I'm alright. I need to get going. One moment, Aloy. There's something I must ask you. Since you left, I've thought of little else. This isn't really the time. But it has to be. The way you left before, there's no way to know when I'll see you again. I'm not trying to stop you. Or hold you back. But I need to know when your mission is over, will you return to Meridian and stay? Again with this? Long enough for us to spend time to get to know each other properly, perhaps. Do I get to choose, really? No. The off-a-moment of emotional choice, how Eno expresses her personality. Yeah, they have this in the last one. Compassion, something that is knowledgeable and something that's more funny. It's a nice thought. Now's not the time. I always think the brain's kind of like, dead way. Whereas if you go for a heart or a fist, it's like, yeah, you kind of want to be like, 100% one way. Does it, will it really make much of a difference, though? I don't think it ever did. Just sort of like the end of this conversation changes. He's coming on way too strong, man. He always has done. No, never gonna see you again. Bye. Yeah, maybe. Let's go. Are you kidding? That's funny. A danger. Not just a meridian, but a whole lot else. You really think I've got time to imagine holding hands and watching the sunset or whatever? Well, I don't. I see. I'm sorry, Aloy. You're right, of course. Please, forget these foolish things I've said. Good. I bid you farewell. As always, our hope's right with you. I feel like maybe that was a bit too harsh. Just a little bit. But then again, she's fierce. I mean, after the last interchange we had with, what was it? Yeah, um, Val. She was proper like losing it. So yeah, it makes sense. Yep, okay. Didn't get any XP for it. Or do you want to chat some more with your friend? Stay long. I better get going. And if I'm headed west, it sounds like I'll need a ride of passage from the Tanakh, as you said. Where exactly is this embassy going to be held? Past the dawns, the canyon that marks the western border of the Sundom. You'll find the fortress of Baron Light at its farthest edge. The embassy will take place just beyond its gates. It's a long march, a fortnight on foot. A couple of days hard riding should get us there. Jeez. Actually, it might be better to rest here tonight. Head out in the morning. Of course. I'll arrange it. Oh, thank you. Wish I had a guy like that in my life. So yeah, we'll arrange it. We'll sort it, yeah. Oh, it'll be so nice. Oh, come on, butterfingers. He was awake a second ago. He was calming. He was going straight to sleep. Jeez. Oh, I'm going by myself. Ah, I see. I see. Can't rely on other people. Oh, God. Please don't be copyrighted music. Oh, no. I guess we'll find out. I can skip it. Oh, okay, never mind. Oh, never mind. I'd like to do so. Look at all that rendering. Yeah, there we go. Just cut her out. Yeah, no more of her. Looks to steal. Yes, I ride them. Never seen anyone use one of those to get around. Is that how I get to Baron Light? Yes, I mean, usually, but not today. Not yet. And why is that? Well, the Daunt. The whole valley. It's infested with machines. Yeah, don't say. Well, that's my question. I didn't come all this way just to stand around and wait. I'll crank that car down myself if I have to. Well, but then who would crank it back up? Fine. Fine. Yay. I'm getting covered in snow. Though, should anyone ask, it might be best to say you forced me. Do not know who I am. Oh, I did like level three. Sweet. Oh. Ooh. All of a sudden? I'm trying to work out what those are. Just grazes.  Oh, Kido. He's been there for a whole 24 hours and has not moved. Sweet. This sun king himself shall hear of your insolence. Thanks to you, I was forced to spend the night shivering in the tent. Exposed to attack. I might have died.  This, what? This Nora girl? This savage? Besides scallywag? Wadis, that's Aloy. Studious Wadis? Aloy, you know, savior of meridian? That lessons the insult, I suppose. I came here for the Embassy of Baron Light. The way I hear it, so did you. Well, not with the valley infested. Oh, that's a good scroll. And so did Araman. Proclaim the sun priests, most precious and worthy of safekeeping. See? Scripture. I shall head to Baron Light when the captain of the vanguard tells me the way is clear. And not a moment sooner. Captain's a friend of mine, you know. Where is Aran? Wouldn't mind speaking to someone a little more action. Sparks? I'm flying. Wadis. Studious Wadis. Studious Wadis sent Aran and another vanguard out at daybreak to clear the way. And so at daybreak... Hey! Shh. Done with Aran? Yeah, said they checked the ruins on the left bank for tracks. Take it from there. Okay. I'll have this guy straight to the point. Any way to upgrade my gear? I'll bet the smith and chainscrape would let you use his workbench. As for the bristlebacks, you might want to craft some acid arrows. Hitting their canisters with those will take them down quick. Thanks. I'll find Aran and I'll bring him back. Where do you think you're going? What? To the top of the ridge? To wait in safety. Sorry. Operators under strict orders. No passengers till the whistle blows, right? That's right best start cranking Why Dwarf would you kindly scored studious to change great and wait for me there you got it I Will find Aaron and I will help clear a path.  It will be but what of the daughter? Mmm Yes, look the cap might be good at chains great first and upgrade my bow Anything else anything else to take just got all these watches and trinkets right There's a green down there don't want to jump down there.

I need to make happen and then I Keep moving of course bigger gears to grind Well flame here good to see you You've got to move on Petra If you want a cold beer and a few laughs with an old friend come find me at the brewery your choice Oh, here's the optional quest Get absolutely plastered or do the actual game Solve unguys sounds like trouble Maybe Petra could use some support But first things first I need to find that workbench and upgrade my bow It's nice of the game gives you that option go to Aaron's last known location A workbench does every workbench just have unique stuff Okay, here we go. Oh, no, it's the frost thing. I want I know I do have two weapons hunters bow How do I upgrade this? I select it and I can just oh, okay. Yep Oh New weapon attributes Poison sweet.

Oh, no, I want to get that. I want to get that was a deep concentration Concentration depletes more slowly prolonging the use of it or recover concentration faster They've well it's six and two threes in it whichever one we go for 200% recovery speed or 15% depletion. I think if we get it twice as quick I think that's probably better. Yeah, then 15% slower Right noise and what do I need for this? One okay, so any one two and then how much is that doesn't say okay deep concentration Kind of just want to focus on one before we spread too far out An ammo that deals acid damage is now available in your inventory sweet.

Dude this is the problem right this is when a game can turn into Like it's like it could be like a 10 hour game or a 50 hour game Do you want all the time some kind of payment my dear magistrate? You think I can be bought if you want that whistle blown all you have to do is have your soldiers remove the bristle Backs and sign the concession decree face it What other choice do you have me? Hi So have to kill a special timing might we discuss a matter of importance to the sundom we might Later very well I shall be waiting Gonna give my I knew the savior herself Walloper of Durval got her a few maybe You've got a big ring tails of your beauty and heroics my fierce lady warrior Old friend for you at your service So What could have dragged you away from the fine silks and wine of meridian to this smudge of a settlement? Your savior the attention must be needed elsewhere. I'm here for the embassy and the embassy Well by the forge Greater gears for greater matters guess that means you'll be moving on Once I've dealt with any problems around here that need my Saviourly attention ah The bristle backs, of course.

Oh, this looks glorious Oh Bacon free Would you like to be frozen too? Thank you for taking the time My condolences that you had to endure all of us bloviating You looked a bit worse That sounds like he's really trying to put you over the barrel the idea that the carja purposely let bristlebacks into the dawn It's completely absurd But the louder and longer he says it the more support he'll get for his damned concession decree How did the bristlebacks get into the dawn? No one knows for sure the first report of them came from West of the quarry But unless they have wings, I don't know about I don't see how they could have come over the mountains No other way it the only way I know about is barren light Look if you can get to the bottom of this I can offer a considerable bounty in return Help me shut all of them up Sure. Heck. Yeah, I don't don't even need us the bristlebacks were first spotted west of the quarry Yes, according to one terrified laborer said the ground trembled before they came charging down the hillside He took off and ran all the way here. Good place to start looking then If you learn the truth Maybe ovaant will stop blaming the carja for every problem under the Sun and maybe then he'll actually focus on rebuilding barren light instead It's good. It's got a solid piece of dirt like a cloth on them there Right search west of the quarry for bristlebacks. Hold on. I want to know what this is. What what do you do? To revel in some strike sister. Let me set the board. I don't even know what your what this is Mmm first-timer, huh? Don't worry about it. I'll go easy on you. You got any pieces Yeah, like the smile, don't you?

Okay. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Thank you You're one step closer to mastering the game a machine strike Sweet so I'm good be a stranger Right well that's that done bloody Nora Interesting though. It's always good when a Sort of game how I want to go over that way. Should we do this one? I feel like I want to just attack the bridal sides first before we go find Aaron Yeah, it's like a good game does have stuff like that though like a good mini game I think what what did the witcher have that was that was supposed to be like really frigging good That one looks okay. Yeah, not too first about that one Yeah, let me go Just let me out. Where am I going? I'm going right Am I able to call my mount or not? Is that is that a thing I can do? No, okay Although there's a charger site just here. So what we can do is Probably go and maybe take the charger unless that's something that I have to unlock Since the first one There's a possibility. There's a possibility. I'm not gonna lie We might have to do that. Whoa. What's this? Can I not grab this? I can't damage that stuff. Oh Okay, not yet. Anyway, I'm sure that's gonna be an entrance to something.  I didn't even know if it can tame a charger though Override charger there it is sweet. Okay Mount charger How's faster again ex please quickly we're going to die We go left.

All right off to see. Oh lord, what he's called Somebody's happy What news do you bring all the good stuff back trail by the quarry? Looks like they stampeded out of a mine at the back of the valley the mine How could a herd of bristlebacks come from there? I'm not sure but Alvin's workers were using Explosives to tap the tunnels inside the love of dawn. I told him it wasn't worth the risk Those tunnels they run for miles underground even beyond the dawn No, you don't think that Alvin's blasting opened up a passage from the other side Yes, perhaps. Oh This is true. We need confirmation an inquiry so thorough so irrefutable Induced by the savior. All right. I'll keep looking. I Want me reward?  No, this is good Aaron. Okay, okay Right, let's go find Aaron then I suppose My god, this place is like a maze Damned no scrap.  Don't be so clever. Go lasers. All right.

You're gonna want a trip caster No, just any trip caster one of my make free of charge. Oh, thank God everyone's giving me everything for free chip looks solid enough Yep, I've been tweaking the design since I left chain scrape more room to tinker out here and less chance of well accidents Those accidents. Oh, thank you. Bye Thanks for the trip caster While you're blasting bristle backs, I think I'll head down to the hunting grounds Did you know they have a trip caster trial? Come by later if you want to try it out. Yes, baby. I did them in the last game get things control Should be able to pick up his tracks with my focus Try Maybe errands and vanguards. Oh, sweet.

Well, you're gonna be out of action on you Caught me in my best as usual Well, you did the hard part. I just took care of the stragglers How bad is it this who needs ribs? I'm good. I'm good Okay, well, I I know you didn't come all the way to the dawn just to watch me get wrecked So what's the story? I need the embassy to happen So I can head west Erin what I did at the spire What we did It didn't end the threat it just slowed it down There's still more to do Really? Well, that's great. I mean yeah, not the threats not over part. That's not so great But but hey what whatever you're up against your spear my hammer just like old times Erin I need the embassy now. I Can't wait for you to heal a couple of days rest. It's that Actually Even if you weren't hurt what I have to do. It's It's better if I do it alone alone Now that figures Erin I hate to interrupt the romance, but I'm pretty banged up here. I don't blow your blades. I'm coming This just keeps getting better Huh Listen I'll go to Baron light get patched up if you want this embassy to happen. We're gonna need this Sun Priest studious Wadi's oh I know him I'll clear the valley of Bristol backs then send Wadi's to Baron light. I'll catch up with you there. I Guess that's sort of like a goodbye. I'm sorry you sorry Oh That'd be a first. Where is this coming from? It just you know forget it. Yeah. Oh, it's nothing It sounds like something you left and nobody liked that a little fine Now after the battle of the spire you took off you left without so much as a handshake I mean people like me we fought and bled at your side a while you just you just disappear What kind of person does that? It's fair enough like Um So what is that for this is someone who I know the choice Did we have no other choice the ladies kind of like the end I don't want to do the hard question.

Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with 2019 tops five-star baseball We did it four box half case random team break number two remember when we did this last week Marked all these two so we all know they're from the same case First half was pretty solid, but I feel like we did not see any of the big rookie names if any I mean they're not guaranteed in here, but that's what we're chasing the thrill of the chase boys and girls Here's everybody right here Now as it says right here in the item description, which I'm sure everybody read the first 18 full spots taken Right here have a shot at an extra spot the early bird catches the delicious delicious worm Let's roll it. Let's randomize it two and a six eight times name on top after eight one two Three and good luck eighth and final time after eight. It's Rex. There you go Rex after I do that, right? Just making sure I did that right Rex Rex is the early bird that catches the worm. He gets an extra spot Rex never with anything. All right, let's get everybody's names in here And there's all the teams minus the minus the ones that don't have hits We just took those out obviously so it should be 27 on each list. Let's roll it. Let's randomize each list one and a four five times one two three four and fifth and final time after five we got Jack B Down to Richard F. Let's use that tab right there And then one and a four five times for the teams one two three After five times we've got the halos down to the friars All right, so Jack you have the angels Jarell with the Mets and the Braves Michael You have the Rays Stephen Kay.

No deals are done on The ninth eight box eight box come on man That's how many are in a case. We're doing a half case break Four box half case random team break number two twenty nineteen last year's five-star baseball Thanks everyone for getting in really appreciate it Remember I mark those two so we know that there'll be the second half of the case knife Knife in my pocket Use this blank card right here To hide the hits a little bit Create a little more suspense That's right Rex. You got the early bird I guess early birds can doze off later in the day. They were up early Rex All right first out of the gate is Yusai Kikuchi rookie autograph for the m's that's gonna be for joe Lancaster We've got a williams astudio rookie autograph That is for the twins that's gonna go to william Bartle William with an m gets willian with a n I think he's got a brother in like the Does it say no Second box We've got a silver signature on top So we'll do the bottom card first It's Reese McGuire Got himself into a little bit of sticky situation last year In the off season that goes to Matthew Hedges in the blue jays.

Thanks everybody for getting in Joe for jazby's case rakes.com. I will see you next time for the next break. Bye. Bye


Integration and differentiation represent two different stages in the evolution of a system. Differentiation is the process whereby an integrated system becomes divided up into more specialized, well-defined parts. Integration is the process whereby diverse elements become combined or synthesized into a whole system. The process of evolution involves a dynamic interplay between systems differentiation where new different elements are created and systems integration where these elements that are best suited to the whole system are selected by the environment as the system becomes reintegrated. Differentiation means the process of becoming or making something different. Differentiation involves a process of disintegration, the dividing up of an integrated system into more specialized subsystems. Through the process of differentiation, what was originally a homogeneous system becomes heterogeneous as its constituent subsystems come to form their own identity and structural features that are distinct from each other. Differentiation enables specialization. The formation of separate individual subsystems enables those components to focus more intensely on a particular function or activity, thus allowing them to become more specialized in their activity than if they had to perform a large number of diverse activities. Systems differentiation is likewise a structural technique for solving the temporal problems of a system situated in a complex environment. Systems differentiation is understood in systems theory as a way of responding to and dealing with the complexity of the systems environment. This is accomplished through the creation of subsystems in an effort to copy within the system the difference between it and the environment. In this context, the differentiation process is a means of increasing the complexity of the system since each subsystem can make different connections with other subsystems. It allows for more variation within the system to respond to variation within its environment. The development of modern societies into many different specialized institutions from what were largely homogeneous organizations within pre-modern societies is an often cited example of differentiation. One of the central ideas of the systems sociologist Nicholas Luhmann was that modern society is differentiated into various self-referential functional subsystems which operate according to their own particular logic without being subordinate to a central unit. They are open for exchange with each other but also independent, being largely responsible for their own functioning and development. Biological differentiation is the process by which cells or parts of an organism change during development to serve a particular function. For example, the cells of an animal in its early embryonic phase are identical at first but develop through differentiation into specialized tissues such as bones, heart, muscle and skin. Differentiation within a material is any process in which a mixture of materials separates out partially or completely into its constituent parts, as in the cooling and solidification of a magma into two or more different rock types, or in the gradual separation of the original homogeneous earth into crust, mantle and core. Likewise, within economics, product differentiation is a marketing process that showcases the difference between products. Differentiation looks to make a product more attractive contrasting its unique qualities with other competing products. Systems integration involves the interrelating and recombining of differentiated parts. Systems integration is the composition of a whole functioning system by assembling elements in a way that allows them to work together to achieve an intended purpose. In engineering, for example, systems integration is defined as the process of bringing together the component subsystems into one system and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a whole system. This integration requires the development of new layers of abstraction that can accommodate the diversity of the differentiated components it is designed to interrelate. Integration involves the development of a generic layer to integrate the differentiated elements. For example, to enable the development of a new level of socioeconomic organization in the formation of globalization, it is required that we develop some language through which the different societies can interoperate. This integration process through which a new, more abstract level of organization combines the elements also works to reduce their autonomy in order to align them within the functioning of the whole system. For example, the formation of the political entity of the European Union enables interoperability between the different countries but likewise constrains their national governments. In a paper entitled A Complexity Drain on Cells in the Evolution of Multicellularity, Daniel McShee describes this process in living organisms as such. In evolution, as high level entities arise from associations of lower level organisms and as these higher level entities acquire the ability to feed, reproduce, defend themselves and so on, the lower level organisms will tend to lose much of their internal complexity. Integration both constrains and enables differentiation. Cells in a multicellular organism can rely on the whole organism adapting to changing conditions via a multicellular response. Thus the individual cell can do away with its rarely used functions to become more specialized and differentiated within the whole organism. And social insects demonstrate the same sort of trade-off. Individuals of a highly social ant species are less complex than individuals from socially simpler ant species but it is the complex social interaction or integration between them that allows them to perform as a whole more efficiently. Differentiation and integration enable and create each other. Integration can only take place when there are different parts. Likewise differentiation can only occur through integration into a larger organization because elements that remain autonomous are required to perform multiple functions to maintain themselves within their environments. Differentiation thus actually becomes the basis for any form of unity since the unity of any subsystem can only be based on its difference from its environment. A central part of an evolutionary process of development is a dialectic interplay between a systems macro level that is integration into the whole and the micro level the differentiation of the parts. This process of development can be understood as a form of dialectic change. It is the dynamic interaction between the process of integration and differentiation that drives the evolutionary process of development within the system in a dialectic form. Homogeneous systems divide, define their difference, compete and then reintegrate into a more complex whole.
