Okay. Good morning and chairperson. So I'm going to present the Climate and Impact Adaptation Practice and Policy in Nepal. I'll focus on Nepal, what they have, the local adaptation practice and impact as well as the policy adopted by the government. And this presentation I have to focus one part mainly about the impact and adaptation and another part is to review the policy in the present Nepal government policy, what are the policy and the gap. So I have divided the two parts for this presentation. And then you know we are the very small and then a country in between the India and China and but we are the very much highly vulnerable countries because when they have the report that Nepal is the fourth most vulnerable country attribute to the high exposure because we are in the high mountain we have the more than 0.06 degree temperature raise annually as compared to the global it is very high as well as we have the high sensitivity because the fragile the geology and the steep slope with the mountains and then we have the low adaptive capsidum most of the because we have many people are poor and difficult to assess and difficult to adaptation practice low technology. So although these are the we have the suffering from this impact but although we like less developed country like Nepal we emit very low negligible amount of the this greenhouse gas but we have the impact is the we are the more. So in the short situation a mystery of environment government Nepal also projected we have the different time frame that the increasing trend of the temperatures and then when the ultimately temperature increase there is the impact on the high mountain of the snowfall and releasing the glacier melting and releasing the high volume of water or the very well in the precipitations. So let's let's see the temperature we agree all we in the from yesterday we talked about the temperature increased all over the world and we have the in the Nepal we have to since last 1975 2006 we have also increased point zero to zero point zero four annually and also twenty two thousand six is the warmest year in this records. So additionally in the talk about the precipitations present also the highly variability because we are the time though we are the below the 70 meter altitude to the 8000 meter so we have the very high of variations. So in such a situation we have the precipitation also variability and mainly the they have the trend observation shows that the high precipitation with the short periods and also there is the change in the monsoon season to the shift from the early to June to the delay to the in the August similar to the last presentations and also the pressure the intensity is high and the winter rainfall is the low these are the reported in the last this couple of years and also in such a situation in the temperature and precipitations as the the variability which also helps to impact on the this poor community because they are the very low resilience in the climate wrecks. So in such a situation we have done about the these local impact and adaptation practices from the local community as well as the institutions local institutions and also review the policy and practices to implement the adaptations and mitigations. So there are the two objectives we have selected and these are the study area this we call the Narayani basin one of the big what said and it linked from the high mountain across the Himalaya region also we call the near the Tibet sites these are the all the border of the Tibet to the the this is the border of the India so we we transit from from the both high mountain to Tarai so link to the India and Tibet both so these are the study site there the high mountain and the mid-mountain these are the mid-mountain air sites and this is the yellow part is the Tarai the low border of the India. So for this study we have done the different primary data collections from the particularly in dialogue interaction with the local estate holder with the government and non-government as well as some key informant and district level technicians as a national level policymakers and also review the on these documents policy. So these are the some slides where we talk about this interaction with communities, household survey and council meetings. So let's talk about the result and discussions and I have divided that mainly the impact in the two area because there are the national government has divided the six impact area from the adaptations document national plan of adaptations but I choose only the two agriculture and water resources for the these studies and then because agriculture is the main component and more 80 percent farmers are cultivating in the crops so that I choose the major impact on the agriculture and agriculture relate to the water resources. So I have chosen the two impacts and these are the farming in the mountain farming and if they these impact particularly the water will be stress or the too much then ultimately it suffer whole the livelihood of the more than 80 percent community of the mountain communities. So these are the our mountain terrain then the this impact mainly the precipitations the uncertainty of precipitations mainly impact of the maize in the summer crops and also peri for the wind even the rainy season crops and also winter wheat legume and mustard they have the major impact on the production of agriculture crops even the wind the delay or the low rainfall during the winter it also impact the wheat wild crops and rip mustard so and then it ultimately increase the food insecurity in this regions so these are the some impact again in the we talk on the high mountain they have the range land or grassland they cultivate they raise the their livestock but due to the low rainfall in the the semi-arid region in the near the 3-beth in Plato and they left due to the low grass productions they they'll shift the livestock farming and then they move the other parts as well as sometime untimely precipitations in the recent of years they have also changed the cropping patterns and also change the farming even the maize germination is delayed so they change the other but there are some positive impacts in the high mountain because they have the good apple farming and all apple and in the high altitudes because the in the past that they have the low quality but now the temperature increase in the high mountain that good quality in the apples as well as orange in the mid mountains so there are some pictures about the drought and then the another one is the we have talked about the impact of the waters water mainly we have the either too much water in the rainy season and no water in the winter season so there are the major problems for us because either we have the in the too much that the flooring landslide and erosions and then dry during the winter and then no crops so these are the major challenging for us and then so this committee has explained during the last few years low snowfall and high rainfall in the high mountain there is also low snowfalls and also but intense the change the snowfall to the rainfalls in the some area and then they are the distopped to the household with the Moria also the damage and some and also they have reported so in in such a case at the high mountain committee reported that it was good snowfall in the high altitude but 2 to 3 feet in the past but now it disappeared and negligible amount of snowfall in the high mountains and then these also notice the spectral change the surrounding in the last couple of decade and that all used to be snow covered but now they are the barn and dry so these are the major challenges and there are also local people about the water sources from the mountain as also dry and stream flow also decreased but the it should be further discussed because either the decrease of water source might be human or deforestation or the climate change we have to need to further research so there are some adaptation practices I talk already that the now in the high mountain due to the rain or grassland as the decrease due to the no snow falls then they shift the reduce the livestock numbers and change the occupations in the high mountain and even the mid mountain and then for I they are also adapted some as the community first also one of the best examples in the South Asia as the leading in the Nepal which has also resilience to the managing the resources not only the but also the waters so come to first also one of the best examples and also they have adapted salt sopping I got land technology for the mountains and agroforestry also practices and there are others practices like the vegetable farming as a crop diversification and then also irrigation facilities so my farmers and conservation pond and some there I mountain they have in the some project area they have drip irrigation also adapted and also there are the traditional water resting pond and then planting the these bloom grass in the high mountains in the steep land as conservation so these are the some practices now I talk with the policies and the major policy we have the last 20 years from the Rio genera 1992 the Rio 20 plus in the 2012 there are the 20 years we have the experience of the this policy on the relative climate change but there are other policy before all in Nepal also about the environmental perspective but in 20 years we have the this climate change policy and initiated in Nepal and I will not go so in 1992 they have the interest in the climate from the environmental policy in the Rio 2 January to the in 2012 we have again to Nepal policy program focus on the climate change integration so there are the 20 years of experience of the climate change policies and but last 2009 10 and 11 there are the more milestone for the implementing the climate change policy so in 2010 then Nepal has endorsed the national adaptation plan of action to the climate change as well as in 2010 Nepal has started the red initiative for the implementing for benefiting for the global carbon fund and also in 2011 climate change policy has endorsed from the government nepals and also in even the 2000 level Nepal endorsed the local adaptation plan of action so there are in 2009 10 11 12 there are the more milestone for the policy initiative in Nepal's and overall that is Napa we have the national plan of national adaptation plan of actions Napa highlights three area for the national development these are poverty reductions liability improvement and building resilience and these are the major guidelines which helps to minimize the vulnerable to the poor people by doing these activities let's talk about the we have the Napa also Napa also the very good in the papers but we have the so 80 percent of the budget goes to the local levels from the these are the some highlights and also these are the main streaming for the development so these are the some initiated for the climate change in the Napa and there are the this is the framework i'll not explain but there are the bottom up approach it focus on the bottom up and participating and to link from the environmental assessment to the planning to the national levels now talk about the we have the some practice with the not in the policy but also there are the local or community adaptation plan also adapted from the government not the government but with the different project like the dfID supported LFP and key project and these also they make the some community and they have the annual and five year plan for the adaptation policies but there are some i'll highlight some things about the there are the these constitutions even the third interim plan also focus on the climate change as a major agenda and we have to integrate all the in the policy and programs for the development so that impact will be minimized and also there are the low carbon emission development path and deforestation and then there are the developing the low methane emissions there are also some policy highlight but there are the i'll not go to these things so there are the some positive for the bottom up approach integrated approach these are the some and then ensuring the participation and then poverty reductions and managing the national agenda so these are the some highlights so there are the gaps so the if in the paper there are very nice and document but the main problem is the there you know capacity for the this implementing the programs how it works and it gives for the local community but local community has no no capacity even the no institutions even the no government has able to induce the programs if even that if there is a budget but there is no implementing mechanisms so paper is there but we have the major challenges to the how to reach these things so we have to the target is the questionnaires so but there are in some government district level office they have done about the some practice like the soil conservation programs early wiring system program in some NGO and different and district forest office this illegal office they are doing these things for the adaptations so you finished okay thank you


Welcome back to the series Sustainable Monetized Websites, a series for online content creators and content managers who also handle monetization. I'm Aurora, and I work in policy education for publishers at Google. Oh, and these are my two co-hosts, Organica and Monetized. In this episode, we will talk about why it is important to have good quality content. Let me start by saying, provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to regularly visit your site. Google may classify pages that have thin content with little or no added value as low quality. I'll talk about four types of low quality content that will impact how your site does, both in organic search as well as in monetization strategy. First, automatically generated or auto-generated content. This is programmatically generated content. In cases where its intention is to manipulate search rankings and not help users, Google may take algorithmic or even manual actions on it. Organica, give us some examples. Text that makes no sense to the reader, but that contains search keywords. Low quality translations by automated tools with no curation before publishing. Stitching or combining content from different web pages without adding any sufficient value. Second, thin affiliate pages. There are many great sites monetized with affiliate links that add value. For example, by offering original product reviews, ratings or product comparisons. If you participate in an affiliate program, make sure you differentiate your site from the rest. Unique, high quality and relevant content provides value to users and distinguishes your site from others, making it more likely to rank well in Google search results. However, thin affiliate websites do not provide additional value for users. These sites are often templates with replicated or similar content. Thin affiliates create a frustrating user experience and they're not useful for our users. Thin affiliate sites, consisting of content that appears in many other places on the web, may be negatively perceived by search engines and users alike. What can you do to help your site stand out and differentiate from others? Ask yourself, why would a user want to visit my site first rather than visiting the original merchant directly? Make sure your site adds value beyond simply republishing content from the original merchant. Avoid making the affiliate program the central part of the content of your site. Move your unique and exciting features into the foreground, such as information about price or product category. Ensure your affiliate program matches the product category of your audience. The story goes this way. The better the affiliate program fits your site's content, the more value it will add and thus the more likely you will be to make money from the program. Use your website to build a community among your users. Regularly create unique and valuable content that your frequent users will care about. This will help build a loyal readership and can also create a source of information on the subject you're writing about. Keep your content updated and relevant. Fresh, on-topic information is more useful to users and in turn is compelling for search engines to keep up-to-date in their search results too. A third type of low quality content is replicated content from other sources. You can learn more about it on the replicated or duplicated content and what to do with it episode in this series. Fourth, doorway pages. These are sites or pages created with minimal unique content meant to focus on specific keywords. They're bad for users because they don't provide unique value and end up taking the user to essentially the same destination. Sometimes they also lead users to intermediate pages that are not as useful as the final destination. They're made just for search engines with little or no original content. Search deprioritizes them. Publisher networks such as AdSense have policies requiring original content and they're generally a waste of everybody's time, including the publisher's time. Organica, give us some examples of doorway pages please. Having multiple domain names or pages targeted at specific regions or cities that funnel users to one page. Pages generated to funnel visitors into the actual, usable or relevant portion of your site or sites. So remember, make sure your site provides unique and relevant content to your users. Although monetized and organic content work in different ways, sites that don't meet the monetization and organic search guidelines may be removed from the search index and have their ads disabled. In the next episode, we will deep dive into user-generated content and building your community. Subscribe to this channel so that you don't miss anything. Don't forget to like and share this video and leave a comment if you have any cool topic suggestions for future episodes. Until the next time, goodbye.

Y ffinal item of business is a member's business debate on motion 15106, y name of Jeremy Balfour, on the Scottish Power Chair Football Association. Ys debate will be concluded without any questions being put. Can i ask those members who wish to speak in the debate to press the request of speak buttons now, and I now call on Jeremy Balfour to open the debate. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. This afternoon, I have the great pleasure of opening the debate on the Scottish Power Chair Football Association. I have incredible support of all the work that SPFA do and have been doing to see the growth and development of the sport both within Scotland and internationally. I would like, on behalf of I'm sure the whole Parliament, to take this opportunity to welcome Ryan Galloway, who works for SPFA and a number of players who are watching this debate from the public gallery. The Scottish Power Chair Football Association is the official governing body of power chair football in Scotland, which was only formed back in 2015. Some of its various roles include organising competitions and events and promoting and participating in the growing sport of power chair football. Power chair football is a unique sport that provides opportunities for people with a high level of impairment to access the game of football. The game is for anyone who uses a powered wheelchair or those who have limited movement in a manual wheelchair. The sport is fast-paced, dynamic and allows all ages, disabilities and genders to compete alongside together. Indeed, players range from 12 to 58. A few of my colleagues, including Brian Whittle, took part in a Sunday afternoon game last year. I'm sure that Mr Whittle will give us his experiences later on. The game comprises of two teams, each made up of four players, who use power chairs equipped with foot guards to attack, defend, spin kick and football in attempts to score goals. There are two national competitions, the SPFA League Cup and the Scottish Cup, plus the development of a national squad and the desire to see the sport go increasingly internationally. I'm pleased that, later this year, some international games will be taking place. There are around 70 players who are currently involved in the sport throughout Scotland. Indeed, here in Lovians we have the Lovian Wolves, who were established back in 2016 by Lovian Disability Sport and have seen tremendous success. They regularly train at Heriot-Watt University, and the hard work by the players and the coaches has obviously paid off as Chris Jackgreen, who only started playing the sport back in 2016, was recently selected for the first-ever Scotland squad in power chair football. That is a fantastic feat, and with my natural bias I wish Chris and the team every success in the years ahead. Research commissioned by Sport Scotland and the Quality and Human Rights Commission identified that disabled people in Scotland are less active, have poorer experience of school PE and less likely to participate in sports as adults. That is something that the SPFA, along with its players and other sporting organisations, are trying to tackle with sport. They want to raise awareness of power chair football through many partners, interlinking the health sector, the voluntary sector and the sports sector, among others, to see it more accessible for all. Since the SPFA's creation, power chair football has seen a huge rise in its popularity and is a clear trend to see the work expanding through volunteers and others. One thing that I would like to highlight is the desire to make power chair football accessible to all wheelchair users. Given the potency of sport for a person's wellbeing, I fully support the mission and drive by the organisation to see this happen. However, there are barriers that are preventing this from happening, and those need to be addressed. The way that wheelchairs are set up and the speed that they work at is something that stops people playing. Too often, health boards across Scotland have a no-do attitude, and they should be far more positive. The second is in regard to sport centres across Scotland. Although there are centres across the country that can accommodate a single football team, there are very few venues—in fact, only four—in Scotland capable of hosting multiple teams, which is absolutely essential for the creation and maintenance of league and national cup competitions. Any tournament that requires the use of at least two courts with additional space needed for viewing officials' place to move around in power chairs safely. Further to that, there is a need for changing places toilets. Even now, the current home in the Park Sports Centre in Stirling is lacking accessible toilet facilities. Our own Lothian wolves here in Lothian also do not have a changing place toilet given to them at Herriot Wat. It would be great if sporting centres such as Herriot Wat and the one in Stirling would consider adding these types of toilets to the places that they have. They have access to mobile hoist, changing bench, which fits with one accessible toilet, but leaves little room for carers and safe transfers. That is totally unacceptable and a huge barrier to those who would like to play power chair football but cannot access it because they do not know the simple fact of how they are going to be able to go to the toilet. I support the Court to see existing sport venues updated with changing places toilets. I am pleased to report that an amendment put down by myself in the current planning bill has been passed with cross-party support advocating that the building of changing places toilets is suitable for all new sport centres. That is a positive step of progress for increasing accessibility for people with disabilities, and I hope that we will pave the way to create more accessible and inclusive society. However, that will take time, and I would still urge sport centres, which are up and running at the moment, to look at the issue seriously. The players, members and volunteers are a class act and are certainly something for Scotland to be proud of. I urge the Scottish Government to continue to invest in disability sport, in governing bodies to facilitate the help to provide the infrastructure that is needed for cultural change and, ultimately, to support and encourage the disabled community that is involved in sport. Open debate speeches are four minutes. I call Bruce Crawford, followed by Brian Whittle. I also congratulate Jeremy Balfour and thank him sincerely for securing this debate on this important issue this evening. As the motion that we are debating today points out, the peak in my constituency is the home of Scottish power chair football. I know from those who work at the peak, which is part of the active stilling portfolio, they have a pride in the provision of an array of inclusive sports activities suitable for people across a range of disabilities, as well as those obviously with abilities. As Jeremy Balfour rightly pointed out, more needs to be done when issues such as changing places and toilets. I understand that, with regard to power chair football in particular, classes started in association with Stirling Riverside FC last August. It is an accessible sport to anyone who uses an electric wheelchair, which I have the technicalities right here. Mr Balfour requires a bumper, allowing the player to dribble, pass and shoot something that I could never manage when I was playing football myself. I like the way that Jeremy Balfour described that in his speech. With the support provided by the Scottish Power Chair Association, there are now weekly classes of the sport with monthly league fixtures taking place at the peak. It is clear that power chair football has taken off in a significant way in the Stirling area, while it is also opening up opportunities across the country. Despite the improvements that are required, all those that are involved, I believe in this initiative, deserve to be commended. Jeremy Balfour covered a lot of ground in his speech about the specifics about power chair football, so I would like to use my contribution to the debate to look at the wider offering of disability for sport in my constituency. The Stirling wheelchair curling club, for instance, is also based at the peak and is open to adults of any age. It gives members the chance to take part in full-length curling, short curling and competition curling. Full membership is just £28 a club trains on a Wednesday evening. I know that active Stirling is also open to sport classes, to people who have physical sensory and learning disabilities. Currently, swimming classes are being run on a Friday evening at Stirling High School, which classes are being supported by qualified coaches who can adapt to each class to the needs of the children who take part while developing their swimming skills. Beyond that, activities that are provided by active Stirling, Stirling City, All Stars provides recreational football for adults with disabilities in Rapplock community campus. That involves weekly coaching sessions by volunteers and the club gets involved with tournaments up and down the UK every year. Members pay just £20 a year in membership fee, and that includes social events. The National Swimming Academy, the University of Stirling, also benefits many of my constituents. The facility provides competitive swim coaching to junior swimmers with a physical disability. It is available to young people aged over the age of nine with land training available for swimming sessions on the pool side. Stirling has a well-deserved international reputation for developing local athletes. It is clear that a lot of work is going on to ensure that people with disabilities get the benefit from the widest possible range of activities. However, it is also clear that a lot more work needs to be done and undertaken to include as many people as possible with disabilities in sport. It is true to say that the more we can work together to achieve that, the better we can improve the confidence of those with disabilities in the local sports services. The level of inclusion is not only good for physical health, but also mental wellbeing. I am delighted this evening that we have had the opportunity to come to the chamber and share some of Stirling's experiences on the topic this evening. In conclusion, I thank Jeremy Balfour very much for bringing this important topic to the chamber. I thank you, Mr Crawford. I call Brian Whipple Whittle to fall by Jackie Baillie. My answer to many things, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I say that, as a seasoned power tier footballer, I welcome this debate and congratulate my colleague Jeremy Balfour for bringing this debate to the chamber. I was not long into this job when I had the opportunity and invited some of my colleagues to come along and take part in power tier football with the Asher Tigers down and air. It was interesting to suggest that John Scott and I could be in the same sports team, along with Colin Smyth. We were originally shown up by the power tier footballers. It was a real pleasure to be part of that, to see the way that those teams trained together and how they put us to the sword with a great deal of glee. I then managed to organise a parliamentary team to go along to the peak in Stirling, as Bruce Crawford has said, where we did an exhibition match during the Scottish Championships. We played our Joker card, which, of course, is Alexander Stewart. Now, he has the nickname of Davros. In his attempt to take a penalty, he manoeuvred his chair back and forward and sideways and roundabout, spun around there and let a little ball stay exactly where it wants. I am quite happy to share that video evidence with anyone who would like to see that. Of course, the unflappable Dean Lockhart also took part in that, and it was interesting to watch him spinning around there and going in no general direction at all. In fact, I am quite sure that during the game, in his attempt to manage his power tier, he moved postcodes. Within 10 minutes, we were beaten 6-0, which is a lesson to anybody who is taking part in sport. If you are going to take part in sport, you have to train to do that sport, and those athletes do exactly that and train as hard as anybody else. One of the things that highlights this from me is barriers to participation, and that can be applied across any sport at all. In particular, with the power tier footballers, one of the things that struck me as they talked about was the ability to get to training and to get to the facilities, the transport that is required to take the equipment and the power tiers to the venue. That is one of the big barriers to sport, and that is something that we need to consider, the equipment that we need to go there. Also, as Jeremy Valfour has very eloquent suggested, is the venue itself and what is required of that. Like any sport or activity, it is important that we look at the barriers to participation and break them down to give as many people the opportunity to participate as possible. One of the things that I want to discuss is the importance of access to the opportunity and the ability to be included. That inclusivity is one of the key pillars of health. I have been lucky to coach people with so-called disabilities over the piece. I still have some just now. They train along with the rest of my squad. They do not get shown any special treatment. The approach is the same as any other athlete. Every single athlete that I work with has some kind of special need that is individual to them. Whether you are in a wheelchair or whether you have some sort of physical disability or whether you have a mental disability, the approach is exactly the same. That is exactly what any athlete of any description would want. The idea of somehow approaching the sport in a different way from any able body sport is something that I would like to break down that kind of barrier. I always think that disability is a misnomer. It is all about ability. If you wanted to talk about ability, you would just have to watch the MSPs attempting to play that sport. You could see where the ability lay. As I said, we have beat 6-0. We would go back and do it again. It was one of the greatest ones that I have had since I have been an MSP. I would like to finish by congratulating Jeremy Balfour for bringing this debate to the chamber and giving us the opportunity to discuss it. I call Jackie Baillie to be followed by Alison Johnstone, Ms Baillie, please. Let me start by thanking Jeremy Balfour for bringing this debate to the chamber and declaring interest as the convener of the cross-party group on muscular dystrophy. Let me also name-check John Miller of Action Duchenne for bringing the debate to my attention and phoning my office every two minutes to insist and confirm that I would be speaking tonight, so I am delighted to do so. It is important that we celebrate the work and achievements of the Scottish Powerchair Football Association and the very positive impact that they have on individuals with physical disabilities, never mind half the Tory party as well. However, when you think about where powerchair football started, it is even more remarkable to see what they have achieved today. Back in April 2010, just six players in nine short years has now become the fastest-growing disability team sport with over 1,100 participants across the UK, 62 of whom are based in Scotland and play for the Scottish Powerchair Football Association. The Scottish Powerchair Football Team took part in their first international match, as I understand it, against the English Powerchair Football Team in December 2018. The less said about the result, the better. However, as I have learnt in my 20 years as a Scottish Labour MSP, it is the taking part that counts. Although recent results have to be said are much more promising, just days ago, the Scotland Blue team came second, the Scotland Yellow team came third at a national tournament in Leeds, so everybody had better watch out because they are working towards that top place. That is indeed without the help of Brian Whittle and his colleagues in the powerchair football tournament that they were playing in. More than half of the players have a muscle wasting condition, which rabble-bodied people can seem daunting, demoralising or even debilitating. However, powerchair football has given people with complex and very physical disabilities the opportunity to play as part of a team at both an amateur and professional level and has allowed them to reach their potential while doing something that they clearly love and enjoy. A charity close to my heart, Muscular Dystrophy UK, has collaborated with the Scottish Powerchair Football Association to sponsor MD UK Premiership and MD UK Premiership in Scotland until the 2021 season. The hard-working staff and volunteers at Muscular Dystrophy UK, along with the Scottish Powerchair Football Association, cannot be praised enough in my view for the welcome space and opportunity that they have given to individuals across the UK and in Scotland who may not have discovered their skill for powerchair football had it not been for the opportunity presented. Powerchair football brings together people from all different ages, different genders and different backgrounds to form one united team. It brings communities together and ignores their varying levels of physical ability and bonds them over a shared love of football. That level of dedication, which is shown by powerchair players and the physical and emotional barriers that many of them had to overcome to get where they are today, shows just how passionate they are about the sport and how deserving they are of every success in it. The transferable skills that are learned through playing powerchair football include teamwork, communication, but they will undoubtedly have a very positive effect on every aspect of a player's life. Praise should be given to the local powerchair football clubs across the country who, year on year, have inspired new potential powerchair players to take up the sport. That continuous support of coaches and volunteers creates a huge amount of positive energy for the players and inspires them to achieve even greater things. A number of overseas powerchair football clubs, including the European Powerchair Football Association, have supported the SPFA. Their generous support has helped to buy the necessary equipment for the players and make venues more accessible. However, there certainly needs to be more funding and investment in powerchair football, and I will not let the minister off lightly, because there are still clubs that struggle to find an appropriate venue and struggle to buy appropriate equipment. Many powerchair football players end up having to crowdfund in order to get wheelchairs suitable for the sport, which can cost up to £8,000. I hope that the debate today, which again I thank Jeremy Balfour for bringing to the chamber, does not just inspire potential powerchair football players to try it out, but will encourage the minister and others to look at how they can provide investment and awareness so that this fantastic organisation can continue to go from strength to strength. Thank you very much, Ms Bailey. I call Alison Johnston, the last speaker in the open debate. It is fair to say that disability sport in Scotland has had a huge number of achievements to celebrate recently. Wheelchair tennis player Gordon Reit from Alexandria has won an amazing 11 grand slams across singles and doubles tennis. Most recently, it last year's US Open and also won two medals at the 2016 Paralympic Games. T-34 sprinter Maria Lyle from Dunbar has won a whole armful of medals in recent Paralympics world and European Championships and Commonwealth Games, including a silver medal representing Scotland at the 2018 Gold Coast Games. In August last year, the UK team won the BC1 Botcha World Championships, with a team including three Scots, Stephen McGuire, who Brian Whittle and I challenged to our game in the garden lobby. I think that we foolishly thought that we might have had a chance. We were soon put right there—Patrick Wilson and Jamie McEwen. In March, Scotland will play host to the biggest wheelchair curling event outside of the Paralympic Winter Games at the 2019 wheelchair curling championships when it comes to sterling. I would particularly like to highlight in this debate the fact that Lothian Woolf's power chair player Chris Jackwin has been selected for the first ever Scotland squad in power chair football. I think that disability sport is going from strength to strength. We are becoming more aware of the achievements that are receiving the attention that they deserve. Here we are today talking about the amazing growth of power chair football and adding that to that list of achievements. I would like to thank Jeremy Balfour for the opportunity to congratulate the Scottish Power Chair Football Association's work to develop the sport in Scotland. I am really pleased that we are debating this in the chamber this evening. As someone who has been involved in athletics for almost 40 years, it is clear that developing a sport can be really challenging. There are teams to be established, there are league rules to be drawn up, officials have to be trained and retained, we need to find funding for kit and venue hire and so much more. There are particular challenges when expensive equipment is involved. It involves time, dedication, perseverance, passion and even more so when, as with power chair football, the sport is still a relatively new one and there is limited existing support. Clearly, this is the fastest growing disability sport in Scotland, so the organisers and the players have the qualities needed in spades. The number of teams playing the sport has doubled in four years and in that time the game has gone from being a grassroots organisation to having well-established leagues in a national team. Having watched a little just on-screen so far, but I will give it a bash, I am not surprised that it looks great fun, really enthralling and I can understand why people get hooked. I understand that the first European Championships Cup will take place in 2020 and it will be fabulous to see Scottish players having an opportunity to take part in that. After that, the SPFA will be able to move the sport on even further by hosting the first cup held in Scotland. I would like to offer congratulations from the Scottish Greens on that incredible expansion of the sport in just a short time. As colleagues have said, there are additional challenges, the challenge of finding venues that are able to accommodate large numbers of power chair users. As the helpful briefing provided by the SPFA notes, only a few sport centres are suitable for the football tournaments and even the sports home base at the Peak Sport Village in Stirling lacks the accessible toilet facilities needed, so we can and must do better. Although the development of the sport has been impressive, there are barriers to further growth. The SPFA is concerned that there are currently no power chair football teams south of Edinburgh and north of Dundee and we need to ensure that Scots who want to try out the sport are able to do so wherever they live. That is not easy, given the complexities and costs in holding power chair football taster days, which can cost between £800 to £1500. The SPFA currently has no budget for that. I know that it is appeal to the Scottish Government for support with funding and signposting to sources of funding. I look forward to the minister's comments on that when he is closing the debate. I also understand too that some players have met resistance from NHS wheelchair services to adapt to the power chair so that they can go at the speed needed to play the game properly. As the SPFA has stated, there is a real opportunity for them to work with the NHS wheelchair service to promote power chair football when, for instance, someone comes to collect a new chair. I know that the association has already been in touch with the minister on the issues, so it would be interesting to have an update on that. Before closing, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the Lothian Wolves team who play at Herriot-Watt University. They came third in the league cup in September and are currently five points clear at the Scottish power chair championship. I wish them well in their campaign for promotion to the premiership. It is great to see another sport grow and thrive in Scotland. Everyone, no matter their age, disability or background, should have the opportunity to take part in sport professionally and for leisure. Thank you very much. I now call on Joe Fitzpatrick to close the Government. Minister, please. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I join others in congratulating Jeremy Balfour in securing this evening's debate. That is an important debate. Before I move on to talk about power chair football in specifics, I will say a few words about disabled sport in general, as a number of members raised that. Obviously, first of all, we had Bruce Crawford, who gave a fantastic advert for the disabled sport facilities in the Stirling area, and the home of power chair football in Scotland. It was also good to hear Alison Johnson reminding us of the significant successes that we have had in disability and para sports here in Scotland. There were also a number of points that were made by Alison Johnson and Jeremy Balfour and others about some of the challenges that people have in general with disability sports. The access to suitable toilet facilities is probably one of the most basic things that most of us take for granted. You would go to take part in a sport and you would be able to use facilities that will be accessible to you. The fact that that is not the case for many people is something that I agree with Mr Balfour. It is something that we need to improve. Clearly, the changes that the Parliament unanimously supports in terms of the planning bill going through Parliament will help with that in the future. I hope that, across Scotland, those in charge of leisure facilities will hear the call for changing facilities and if there is refurbishment work going on, that that is very much to the centre. That is the only way that we will manage to make the major progress here, if that work is at the top of the list when works are going on in our leisure facilities and other places across Scotland. I think that it is a basic right for people to be able to use a toilet when they enter our public buildings, so that that will hopefully make progress. Back to football. Football is Scotland's national game. It is enormously important to individuals, communities and for the Scottish Government. It does not always get the most positive press and many of the discussions that we have in this chamber are about football and focusing on the negative aspects. Yes, Scottish football does have its challenges and we are working with clubs and football authorities and other stakeholders to address them, but it remains a powerful force for good. Football can inspire individuals and deliver a range of positive outcomes. We see that the breadth and depth of work in excellent community activity that is delivered by the Scottish FFA, SPFL trust, Scottish Football Partnership trust and individual trusts and foundations is remarkable right across Scotland. This afternoon has highlighted the positive impact that our national game is having on people with disabilities. Football is our national game and should be enjoyed by everyone. Mr Whittle made the point about making sure that there are no barriers to participation in sports and that is equally true for football. Jackie Baillie gave us a brief history of power chair football going back to 2010 and the Scottish Power Chair Football Association was founded in 2015 in response to the growth in the game. Jackie also went on to say how that continued to grow. With the support of the Scottish FFA, it has achieved a great deal in a short time. It now organises the national league competition, two cups, the Scottish cup and the league cup. It has arranged a para-football event last year when a number of players were selected for the Scotland national score, as we have heard about. Its work has helped almost double the number of teams in the country and it is playing an absolute crucial role in the growth and development of power chair football in Scotland. I recognise that, but there is more to do to extend its reach. Success can be attributed to the dedication and enthusiasm of its volunteers, some of whom are in the chamber who are the lifeblood of the association. It is important to acknowledge that the work of the Scottish FFA has been undertaken in this field. Although it may not generate the headlines, it is groundbreaking, leading the way in world football. In 2017, the Scottish FFA rebranded its work on disability football as para-football. The aim was to ensure greater emphasis on the diverse work carried out by the Scottish FFA, including groups dealing with issues such as dementia and mental health, as well as creating a stronger voice for the game. The para-football Scottish national association will be the first dedicated national association in the world. As well as funding for all member organisations for domestic and international competition, a representative is also eligible for a place on the Scottish FFA board as a representative of the non-professional game, meaning that disabled football will have its own voice at the top table for the first time ever. I play tribute to the Scottish FFA and to David McArdle, in particular, for this commendable initiative. Like others, I have seen first-hand the positive impact that the power of football can have. One of my earliest engagements following my appointment as sports minister was to attend the power chair football league cup final on 9 September, which was won by my local power chair football team, the Tayside Dynamos, but even if they had not won, it was still going to be a really enjoyable day. Anyone in the chamber and colleagues who have not been to a power chair football match, I highly recommend it, is as competitive as any other football match, perhaps even more competitive. It has the other complexity of everyone in the room virtually that is involved in the game is our volunteers. We had the interesting situation where the referee was giving points against her own son. It is an absolutely fantastic, exciting game. I really encourage members to go along and show support to their local power chair football teams. If they do not have one, there are other folk that we can get in touch with to try and help to support the development of more teams elsewhere. I know that, in some parts of Scotland, that is being supported by the professional team, and I commend Clyde for that action. On 13 November last year, I met John Miller from Action Deshennah. Jackie Baillie has mentioned John's grandchild plays for Lothian Wools. Our discussion had originally been arranged to be a wider discussion about support, but it became very much, and most of the discussion was about Scottish power chair football. Many of the issues raised by members today, Jeremy Balfour, Alison Johnstone and others, were very much what that discussion was about, about how we can improve and support the sport going forward. The Scottish Government recognises the value of power chair football, and I and the Government very much recognise the importance of Scottish power chair football association and its volunteers. I know that the Scottish power chair football association has applied for charitable status, and I hope that that will allow it to access more funding opportunities to further strengthen the game. Much has already been achieved in that small time since 2015, when the association was first formed. I have no doubt that the sport will continue to go from strength to strength. The new para-football Scottish National Association will provide further opportunities when it formally goes live later this year. I again like to congratulate Mr Balfour for securing this debate and to pay tribute to the Scottish power chair football association and its volunteers for their dedication to the excellent cause. Thank you very much. That concludes the debate, and I close this meeting of Parliament.


guys so let's learn new rules by Dua Lipa this is Jason here from Nathaniel so basically the entire song is pretty much on C major rather a minor which is its relative minor so a minor borrows the chords from the main parent scale which is C major so let's first look at all the available chords on the piano at wherever and then you can use that to play the song which is going to be a chord progression from the C major scale right so C major has the one chord C major the four chord F major the five chord G major and then of course the minors the two minor the three minor which is E minor again two minors D minor three minors E minor and the six minor is A minor and then you also have a B diminished which is rarely used so in the song as you can see here the song they use A minor G major F major F major and G major so it's essentially A minor G major and F major throughout the song and there's yeah you basically play A minor 2 3 4 way minor 3 4 so that's a minor 4 times that's a minor right so these are the chords if you would just hit them a minor G F G and just note here that it's a minor 4 times a minor 3 times G major ones and then F major 4 times major 3 times G A minor so when I say 3 times or 4 times it basically means 1 bar of music 1 bar or 4 beats per bar right so you have 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 so the G major is like a passing chord it just happens for like one beat of the song okay so if you were to play this on the piano it may sound good but it may not sound as groovy so in the original there's a nice pattern which is developed I guess it's a very electronic marimba like pattern sort of the sound you'll hear in maybe songs like shape of you but the pattern is quite unique so let's apart from the chords which I just told you also try to learn the rhythm pattern which is there pretty much for the entire hook okay so that's played I would say you could play that in your left hand so I've written this down the first a minor chord is played as E A C so that's E A C and then the G major chord is played as G B D the F major chord is played as F A C traditionally right and then the last G major chord is played as G B D sorry D G B I'm telling you in the order and the rhythm is quite unique okay so the first let's look at it bar bar by bar so this is the first bar E A C E A C and E A C let's see how it goes one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so basically the E of the one and the E of the three and the on of the one so it's one E and a two E and a three and a four E and a one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so this is line one rather bar one and then it goes to bar two one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so it's pretty much the same the A minor starts it off one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and a and so there's this single note G played higher so it's like one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and let's do that again and so let's do line one and line two bar one bar two together 1 E and 2 E and a three and a four E and one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and a little faster and and then goes to the next bar so let's try to study the next bar which is F A C C, that's your F major. So what's common in the first beat is always the occurrence of the I and the E of the I, right? So you have I, E, and I, II, E, and I. So here you have an additional single note F, which I am playing here with my pinky finger on the piano. So you have I, E, and II, E, and III, and IV, okay? And then another common occurrence is a chord at the I of the III. So I'm doing I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and II, and so E and the I of the IV play D and the G. Let's do line three again. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I repeat I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and. So these are single notes, I, D, I, G. This is low F. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I, I, I, II, E, and III, E, and I. On speed. And line four or bar four is pretty much the same as this is just that, well This is common. One E, and II, Eva, II, and III, and IV, E, and so you have that I and I sorry, III, and I of the IV I, and II, and III, and IV, E, and I one E and II, E, and III, and IV, E, and that's repeat that Time E and II, E, and III And IV, E, and let's do line 3 and line 4 and then it the whole thing loop so right so that's how the unique pattern is played so it's a combination of chords and single hits another thing you could do perhaps at the chorus where you don't have to play this hook this hook is pretty much there in the verse and also a little bit of it in the pre-chorus so once you come to the chorus you could start playing the chords in the right hand and I've developed a pattern which works for me in the song you could even use this throughout the song if you want so what you need to do is now in another pattern what I taught you earlier was the hook of the song that's the main thing which is there in the tune you can also play the pulse 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 and then in the right hand you could play the chords but target the 1 E and 2 E and 3 E and 4 E just basically the on of the 1 the E of the 1 and the E of the 3 let's see how that sounds with one chord A minor and what you could also do is 1 E and 2 E and 4 E and you could also hit it at the end and just to add some spice you could add the root of the chord and the octave of the chord a little slower right so you have that pattern and then of course during the verse you could pretty much play with one hand so it's a nice sort of drill to practice 16th note hits which is a very very tricky thing usually on the piano as you're getting forward on the instrument right so hope you guys have fun playing this lesson there is another lesson which we've done which will help you count 16th notes better that's a lesson by which I've done on a popular arm and song so do check that out the link is in the description and after going through that hopefully you can also play the Dua Lipa song a lot better right hope you guys found the tutorial useful cheers and see you in the next one


AFC divisional playoff game Saturday night at Baltimore. It's time for the keys to success, John Robinson. Let's begin with time of possession. You think that is key number one to beat the Ravens? Yeah, it's about controlling the football. We've got to do a really good job offensively. A, of taking care of the football. B, converting third downs, getting down to the red zone and scoring points. Because Baltimore, they're number one in the league and time of possession and they're number one in scoring. So the longer we can keep the ball offensively, that means their offense is on the sidelines.  They've got their quarterback Lamar Jackson with over 1,000, Mark Ingram, the running back with over 1,000, Gus Edwards, the big back with over 700. I mean, they can do it on the ground. So you've got to be able to keep it away from them. That's exactly right. All right, so then let's look at the red zone. Here's an area where the Titans have done a great job this year scoring touchdowns. Don't leave four points out there. Finish the drive. And those points are critical. We saw that conversely last week with New England, where we forced the field goal down there. And those fourth points ended up costing them there at the end of the game. We've got to continue. We've been successful down in the red zone. We've got to drive the link. We've got to get into the red zone. We've got to get touchdowns. All right, so then the third key to success in this ball game is force Baltimore's offense to go the long, hard way. Don't give them the big plays. And they're capable of making them with this quarterback, whether it's with his legs, whether it's handing it to Ingram, who's an explosive back, Hollywood Brown at receiver. I mean, he is super fast. Lamar is able to extend plays with his feet. He's able to get out of trouble, move around. Those receivers, the Titans, that's a really good position group for that football team. We can't allow them to have any explosive plays. Touch on the Titans for just a second, if you would, because they have three guys who can make a lot of things happen. I don't know if any team in the league has three guys like the Ravens do at Titan. Yeah, they've got three outstanding players at that position group. Nick Boyle is kind of their on the line of scrimmage blocker, but he catches the ball. He's really strong. He's really powerful. He's got strong hands that he gets into you and can move you off the ball if you don't play with good technique. Andrews, he was kind of a split out receiver at Oklahoma, really athletic guy, tall, big target, big catch radius. And then Hayden Hurst out of South Carolina is another really athletic player, former baseball player who can move around. He's got soft hands. He's really instinctive and savvy with finding voids in the zone coverage. So it's a huge challenge for us defensively. But the Titans will take confidence, certainly, into Baltimore, especially after the win at New England. Yeah, anytime you can, like we said all last week, just getting a spot in the tournament. And then we've just got as good an opportunity as every other team. We just got to go up there and play our style of football. There's a lot of belief in our football team with the players and the coaches. We believe that we belong in the playoffs. We just got to go up there and execute and play sound football. Certainly did a great job last week. It was exciting to see. Looking forward to seeing it again, hopefully. Absolutely, that's the plan, Mike. All right, so Tennessee at Baltimore. Remember, the game is Saturday night. The kickoff time is 7.15. We're on the air with Titans countdown at six o'clock. So again, Saturday, 7.15 kickoff, airtime on Titans Radio is six o'clock. For John Robinson, sitting in for Mike Vrable, I'm Mike Keith. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time.

Kitty says hi, it's such a video Hello Okay, she doesn't like me doing that. I'm gonna stop now.  Okay, so if you have been following this channel for at least since the beginning of 2021 I have decided personally that I would like to do a video every other day this year now That is proving more difficult than I actually thought it was going to be as the job that I have is Fairly physically demanding. I'm not like moving 50 pound objects all day It's more just I have to walk a lot and I often have to get up at really early hours I typically have at least one shift that starts about 5 a.m. Each week and I am not a very big morning person I think my natural sleep cycles probably around 3 a.m. To about 10 to 11 a.m.  They're more what I thought of a movie immediately after watching it They are typically newer films that have just come out not a lot of footage in them And it's more me just sitting and talking to the camera. I was very awkward in those earlier videos I still think of myself as fairly awkward, but at least I'm more comfortable from the camera I started doing movie reviews because I like talking about movies I just wanted a way to really kind of get my opinion and whatnot on films out there And that was kind of why I decided to start doing what I was doing I enjoy talking about movies. I enjoy watching movies I just enjoy movies in general And so I kind of just wanted a way to maybe open a dialogue with people about what they enjoyed about certain movies What they didn't enjoy about the movies stuff like that and then that's kind of all my channel was for a while Pretty much most of 2019 when I was uploading videos consisted of movie reviews words I did a couple of other things. I think the first D&D video I did which was on my story of my character Risak Which I want to go back and redo that. I was fairly awkward that video is kind of boring when I look at it I don't think it's very good. I want to retell the story It's much more interesting if I can actually tell it. I was trying to be dramatic. It did not work I failed very bad at trying to be very dramatic Anyway, I continued in 2018 doing a lot of movie reviews doing occasional vlogs every here and there But as 2020 continued last year, I kind of switched up my content after a while I switched to trying to do more vlogs, which I am not very good at in my opinion I started trying to analyze movies more closely I started kind of nitpicking apart using actual footage from movies because I could and I had the time on my hands too I've just switched my content up a little bit This is one of the bigger ones that I've switched up to with the way that I have been filming my stuff Where I have a background in some of my videos actually a lot of my videos If you have noticed the bookshelf I have right there that is used in a lot of my videos as my background Which that has all my anime figures my manga all that kind of stuff It's also got my nonfiction more reference material type stuff like Encyclopedias on mythology stuff like that health books stuff along those lines books I need to return to people actually if you look right there behind me I think I think my chair is actually in the way to yeah I kind of you can kind of see right there a little bit behind the chair That's actually the first bookshelf I have with most of my books on it Eventually I'm gonna get another bookshelf or a bigger bookshelf and that is potentially gonna become my background Those kind of becoming excess stuff that I don't want to like have behind me in videos But yeah, wow, I rambled on a bit for that. Yeah, my content changed to me looking a little more analytically It's tough me using footage me being a little more lively and more joking in front of the camera I did a few let's plays last year. I tried some of them early on didn't really work out I did one of the Henry Stickmin games which the like fifth part of that is my most viewed video and wow Am I grateful for that? Here's the thing. I don't know 100% where I want to take this channel in the future I'm doing this for fun. I'm not trying to become like some famous guy on this platform I don't want to be this big millionaire who shows you his fancy life I just do this because I enjoy making and editing videos It's just something I have a passion about and I keep learning new stuff every day to keep improving upon what I'm doing But as of right now, I just enjoy doing this and I'm just gonna keep doing it I don't really care how many views I get or anything like that I think it would be cool if I got more but I just enjoy making videos. That's why I keep doing it I'm not gonna stop probably not gonna script most of my stuff either because I'm really really bad at sticking to scripts Though one thing I really do want to do personally is Start doing a kind of versus type series Basically taking two fictional characters and pitting them against each other going over their powers and abilities what they have Why I think they would beat their opponent in a fight It's fun and I enjoy doing that kind of thing because I'm a nerd and nerds like to have arguments and battles and Debates with each other because nerds Actually, I am working on a video like that right now Um, hopefully I'll be able to finish that and get that out to you guys in a few weeks But yeah, I've had that video like on the back burner for a while because like I was filming it And then like I stopped and then I've rewrote the entire script from the ground up And then I just got distracted and I haven't finished it and I need to go back and finish that because that would be fun Yeah, that's kind of an update hit future History of the channel future of the channel where I want to take the channel I really need to start planning these a little bit more. I don't like scripts I don't like scripting my videos completely because I don't like it being locked in and I know for myself And I will forget and I will f up and just start kind of jumping all over the place anyway me Planning and having points. I want to say that is a different story I would probably be a little more helpful to me, but yeah, that's kind of what I want to keep doing I do not plan on stopping my movie reviews anytime soon. I did a review of the We can be heroes film, which I actually thought that was pretty good though I thought it was good in like a shark boy and law of girl really campy kind of way not like an actual Good film if that makes sense. It's good for how campy and cheesy it is. It's not good because it's good You know though. It also feels like they tried to capture what made shark boy and law of girl amazing as the campy movie It is which was because it was trying trying to take self seriously which this movie kind of does but also kind of doesn't so it's weird and Odd and it is very clearly a kids movie because it kind of just Deus Exes the end Yeah, I'll leave a link to that in the description Watch that video. Yeah, that's kind of all I wanted to say Just kind of go over my plans future plans for this. This isn't gonna be a very heavily edited video It's gonna be mostly cut down. I'm not gonna put a bunch of stuff in it Oh, also, I do need to find a different ending song I need to find something I like because I do not enjoy current when I have but it was the best of the options I had available to me at the time anyway I will if you enjoyed this let me know probably no one's watching this anyway. Have a good day guys. Peace


Thus far in this lecture what we've done is we've taken a look at the simple Brayton cycle. We looked at the different components, that is the compression, the combustion, as well as the turbine. What we're going to do now is we're going to look at different games that you can play to increase the thermal efficiency of the Brayton cycle. And the first thing that we'll look at is regeneration. You'll recall when we were covering the Stirling cycle, that was the first time that we saw a regenerator, which basically was a device that could take heat from or thermal energy from one part of our cycle and move it to another. And so we'll take a look at regeneration now in terms of the gas turbine engine. So that's the idea of the regenerator. What we're doing is we are preheating the air prior to combustion and here what we'll be doing is we're using a heat exchanger. If you remember from the Stirling we were using something that could be steel wool or something with high thermal mass and the gas would flow through it. In this case what we're doing is we're doing heat exchange. It's a gas-to-gas heat exchanger so exhaust gas to compressed air in this particular case. And you want to minimize pressure drop in this device for one thing because that would then be a loss if you have high pressure drop. And the other one is that you would only see this for industrial or stationary engines because of the additional weight. You would not have this for an engine where you have mobility such as for commercial or military aviation. So what we're going to do we're going to begin by looking at the schematic and a process diagram for the Brayton with regeneration. So what we have different from before is our exhaust gases are coming up and they're going into this device here called the regenerator. And the other thing that's different is after the regenerator where it's state 5 so we've preheated the air prior to going into the combustor. And you'd also have your fuel coming in here, m.fuel. Now taking a look at the TS diagram. Now in the TS diagram I've drawn two horizontal lines to denote the temperature of the exhaust when it's coming out. So it's state 4 and we draw this line here and that will be indicated by state 5 prime. Now in an ideal world if our regenerator was 100% effective the compressed air from state 2 would move all the way up to state 5 prime. In reality what happens is the heat exchange will only be so effective and in reality we will end at state 5 which is if we refer back that is indicated here on our process schematic. And so one of the things that we will do when we have regeneration we refer to the effectiveness of the heat exchange and that is given the symbol epsilon. And so the effectiveness is quantified as being h5 minus h2 which is going from here to here on our TS diagram and that would be the actual amount of enthalpy gain of the fluid through the heat exchange process divided by h4 minus h2 which would be going from here to here and that would be the maximum possible that we could attain. So that is the effectiveness of the regenerator. When you have a process a gas turbine engine with regeneration what you will have is a fuel savings and an increase in thermal efficiency.


Well, don't look down folks, but the Atlanta Fed says that the current quarter the one we're in right now the gross domestic product Is four point eight percent a week ago was four percent So with one month to go this could be the biggest quarter of economic growth this nation has seen in years I think it's gonna happen, but what does it mean for the market? I mean we've had an amazing earnings season. We've had strong guidance incredible manufacturing data and yet the major indices spinning their wills They're locked in a trading range. Let's ask David Nelson.  Contain your your excitement because this market just hasn't been able to break out and is that a yellow flag for you? Is that some sort of negative sign that it hasn't it's a red flag because again not that we're not strong I think we hold the uptrend But we could be lower and dip down before we get over that area you said a good word break out That's what I want to see and I will tell you this right now after today's rally After today's positive reports what we must do a hundred percent next week We have to do it. We are too close not to do it now If we don't gap up Monday morning a run-up and run like crazy, then I don't see how we do it this summer I think she's got a great point David You know, I mean I love the resolve and how we climb off the canvas But we need to break out at some point or you probably will see the market give up I think that's because we have this myopic focus on on the big cap indexes at this point But beneath the surface there's a lot of action going on and to her point. She's right You know we we we don't seem to have the memory from day to day or we do We just forget everything that happened today and then there'll be of some kind of crisis Monday morning Forget the job support forget the consumer confidence numbers forget the fed beige book In Europe could announce something because the next election in Europe is likely to be a referendum on the euro and then we'll panic over that But how long can we have this dual sort of existence where fundamentals? Exists with wild speculations and anxiety a real world real world things Being mitigated by things that may or may not happen I think it's in to your point, you know, because everybody looks to price a minute momentum to break out But underneath the surface you seem fundamental momentum and I you know estimate revisions are very very powerful force very very strong And in the end we'll come back to those stocks So I'm seeing real breakouts and materials and other industries that people forget and focus on I like what you're saying though Because I I've had a couple of good weeks Like I mean like some of my stockings have done extraordinarily well and I've been focused on momentum with big tech names Breakouts like electronic arts broke out up five bucks a day these new highs make new highs make new highs And then I liked it consumer Lulu lemon was up big. I wasn't in it wish I was it was on my list of breakouts two weeks ago These are trends where people are making big-time money, but it's in a handful of they are but here's the thing Tech is leading the way once again today. I'm as I'm a new highs Netflix may new highs Facebook and Apple were close to the highs But I'm telling you it's not 2016 It's not 2017 those stocks lifted and then everything went with them With new highs without the banks, it's not gonna happen without the banks without the banks They're nowhere near the highs they're like they look like this. Here's the high here's where it traded the day Do you think I don't know that we need the banks that we did well last year without the banks They certainly have to do well you can't have a bull market without without technology and financials All right So let's talk about now what are the catalysts because now we've gone through the most important data point of any month the jobs report And it feels like every time that happens we go back into a wall and we wait for the next jobs report We'll start focusing on earnings, you know at some point in the next month We'll stop you looking. We'll see what an analyst is starting to say We'll be looking at the estimate revisions. So every data point is important, but this was the bigger I kind of find in my I find that sometimes these major bottoms and sometimes these breakouts can be very stealthy and not have a real catalyst per se And I'm kind of looking at that for me that now getting above 25,000 I think it's a huge buy signal is that where's your buy I want to see the 26,000 everybody other way We get up over 25,000 that we may get right up to 26,000 I want to see a pretty easy to become bullish when everything is at a new high when you break out to 26,000 I think there's I think people need to take their focus off the big index Start looking into the individual and we should point out the Russell 2000. It's been a monster, right? I mean, that's a good day to the great U.S. Economy all right, thank you both very much well as a new report out That says federal investigators are looking into whether Andrew McCabe intentionally lied about Hillary Clinton's email server probe if he did it could mean prison time for the former FBI deputy We'll discuss it next
