Bad Memory by Patrick Fahey. Ex-vector Commander Jim Channing strode purposefully to the reception desk of Planet Enterprise's Inc. I want," he told the well-built blonde who was making an interested survey of his lean features, to buy a planet. Yes, sir. Her interest evaporated. She took a card from a filing cabinet and handed it to him, if you will just fill this out. It was a simple questionnaire – type, location, size – and Channing's stylo moved rapidly over it. He hesitated only at the last stark question – how much are you prepared to pay? Then he wrote neatly in the space provided 100,000 credits. That was exactly the amount of his signing off bonus. It also represented his total finances – the unimaginative minds that calculated the pay of a red-blooded space officer didn't take into account all the attractive ways of spending it that a rumbustious pioneer vector provided. He gave the blonde the card, and she wrote a name on it. The smile she gave him was altogether impersonal. She liked the look of the big, gangling fellow with space written all over his bronzed face and crinkled blue eyes, but she said, will you come this way, please? The name on the desk identified him as Mr. Fohlen, and he was a tall, affable man. I think we can suit you, Commander, of Mr. Channing. He said, though what we have in mind mightn't be quite as large as you wish. Earth-type planets come rather high, you know. Now, if you were to choose a serious or a vega type, thank you, no, Jim said firmly. He'd heard too much about the hazards of alien-type planets. In that case, Mr. Fohlen said busily, let's see what we have available. A month later, the doors of the automatic shuttle slid across and admitted Jim Channing to the third planet of Phylox Beta. It also unloaded one spaceboat, a clutter of machinery, a thousand tons of strawberry plants, and a fully-equipped house. While he was still taking in the first glimpse of his future home, the massive doors slammed shut and the giant ship took off smoothly and silently. A moment later, it winked into subspace. He was in business. The planet possessed only one sizeable island. It could hardly be dignified by the name of Continent. The rest was covered by a vast ocean. Still, as Fohlen had explained, he couldn't really expect anything more, not in the line of an Earth-type anyway for the money. He spent a week figuring out the remote controls that operated the planting machinery. Once it clanked into operation, it worked entirely on its own. He had only to push a few buttons to send it lumbering in new directions, and the big island steadily took on a resemblance to a huge strawberry patch, while Channing fished and lounged in the sun. When the galactic trade agent came, the strawberries were waiting for him, neatly piled into a mountain of gleaming cans. He was a friendly, talkative little man, glad to exercise his tongue again after the lonely months in space. What are you growing here? he asked Channing. Strawberries? The friendly smile disappeared. Every planet in the galaxy seems to be growing strawberries this year. I can't even give them away. But I thought the Ursa Major colonies.  So does everyone else. There's a million tons of strawberries the colonies can't use, headed there already. Now, if it was Upklin seeds. Upklin seeds? The agent looked at him in surprise. You mean you haven't heard about Upklin seeds? No, not a thing.  It's this new race that's been discovered. They are as rich as all get-out and they have a passion for Upklin seeds. Trouble is, they can't grow them on local planets, and they're offering fancy prices to anybody that can supply them. I paid a thousand credits of bushel for them to your next-door neighbor on the fourth planet last week. Got a hundred bushels. Channing did a bit of mental arithmetic. A hundred thousand credits for one crop. Could I grow them here? The agent shook his head. You need plenty of soft marsh and a Jupiter-type atmosphere. Then he had a sudden idea, and he spoke long and seriously to Channing, explaining quite a few things that were new to him. Channing was still considering them, staring thoughtfully at the ground and the little man left. Next day Channing took off for the nearest subspace center, and a few hours later he was in Mr. Fohlen's office at Planet Enterprises, gingerly balancing his cap on his knee. Mr. Fohlen's sleek head nodded as Channing made his points, and when he was finished, the executive pressed a buzzer and called for the file. You realize, Mr. Channing, he said conversationally as he turned over the pages, that what you're asking will be a most expensive undertaking. I know that, Channing said eagerly, but up-clin seeds are such a surefire proposition that I thought Planet Enterprises might be willing to do the job on a percentage basis. Mr. Fohlen wrote some figures on the margin of the folder and considered it deeply. Yes, he said at last, I think it would work out on a 70-30 split. 70-30? Mr. Fohlen inclined his head graciously, 70% for Planet Enterprises and 30 for yourself. Channing said slowly, that's a bit steep. In a few brisk words Mr. Fohlen showed just why he was an executive of Planet Enterprises Inc. He gave Channing the figures for transforming the planet's characteristics to those of Jupiter. He told him what acreage of up-clin seeds he could grow and the exact profit to be expected. Channing's share should be about 150,000 credits per crop. Fighting a rearguard battle, Channing said, your 350,000 won't look so bad on the balance sheet, either. Fohlen reeled off his figures again with practiced glibness. Channing had the sudden suspicion that his proposition wasn't entirely unexpected, but the figures sounded reasonable and he had to admit that Planet Enterprises was risking a great deal of money. Then there is the not inconsiderable cost of your own metamorphosis, Mr. Channing, Fohlen added. Huh? said Channing. There followed the most excruciating half-hour of Channing's life. Proposition followed explanation. Counter-explanation followed counter-proposition. At the end of that time he emerged from the office with a stricken look and a small white card. The blonde receptionist read the look correctly and definitely, and finally crossed him off her list. For a jube, Sim Deek wasn't all that bad looking, his four legs growing directly from the bottom of the muscular hairy trunk were strong and sturdy, always a mark of handsomeness in a male, but the legs had to take most of the strain of a gravitational pull several times that of earth. He had three flexible tentacles, a thin melon slice for a mouth, but nothing resembling a nose. He didn't need one, since he breathed through a set of gills at the sides of his head. He remembered vaguely that he had once been Jim Channing, an earth man, but the memory had nearly faded. He'd been warned of that, that he would soon forget he had ever been anything except what he was now, but he had already forgotten the warning. Bilox Beta-3 had changed too, and in as great a degree, the wide ocean had become a turgid, soupy mush covered by the trailing growths of the upland flowers. The blue skies had turned an angry red, and the sharp wind that rustled the hair of his squat body was almost pure methane. He waddled down to the low disc-shaped skimmer and started the jets. As it pushed its way through the clinging masses of the upland flowers, he surveyed his crop happily. This was his second crop, and it promised to be even better than the first. He was going to be a very wealthy buck, he told himself. He could buy his mind floundered. He didn't know what jubes longed for, what they sought wealth for. He was certain at the same time that there was a flaw in his contentment, that something was missing. What he was missing dropped from the sky a few days later. It came in a spaceboat, and it was his neighbor from Bilox Beta-4. Her body hair was a rich golden brown, and she wore pretty bracelets studded with basome stones on each of her four legs. Simdeak's single eye with its perpendicular outer eyelids and horizontal inner membranes to filter out the infrared rays, shown with an emotion that was more than pleasure. Her thoughts flooded his mind. There was a warm recognition of his admiration and a delicious suggestion that it wasn't unacceptable. The agent told me you were up-clin farming. I came to see if I could be of any help, she told him. The sentences rang like golden bells within his burgeoning consciousness. He tried to shape his answering thought coherently, but his lack of telepathic experience betrayed him. She flinched momentarily beneath the raw, undirected stream of passionate love that overwhelmed her mind. Then, an answering wave of shy, tender awareness and acquiescence overwhelmed his senses. Without the clumsy barrier of speech between them, they had scaled in a few pulsating moments the shining heights of love and devotion that human passion sometimes cannot find in a lifetime of searching. Simdeak had never been so happy. They decided to farm the two planets together, so they could be with each other always. There was sound economic sense in this. With both of them helping, the output of each planet would be nearly doubled. It meant a huge increase in administrative and paperwork for Simdeak, but he didn't mind that. Often, as he poured over account books and production figures, a tremulous, shy devotion would envelop him in a gauzy mental cloud, and he would lay down his stylo and answer alma with all the great love that surged within him. As the months passed, his happiness increased. The perfect attunement of their minds excluded all the scalding jealousies and the offended silences of misunderstanding that can mar the most loving human relationships. They did not need to see each other. The physical presence of the beloved was unimportant. They loved more with their minds than with their bodies. It seemed improbable that such a glorious ittle should ever be disturbed. Then, one morning, a shuttle spacer came silently out of the red sky and landed beside the house. Simdeak waddled toward it, impelled by a carefully built-in series of reflexes which he had completely forgotten about and entered its gaping maw. He never once looked at alma and the passionate entreaties that echoed in his mind only aroused in him a dull irritation. Jim Channing again found himself in Mr. Fohlen's office. The figures, the tall, sleek-haired man was reading out to him, made tuneful music, even when Planet Enterprise's massive deduction was made, his share was, comfortingly, more than a million. Not bad payment, Mr. Channing, for five years of life. In any case, it's all over now, just a bad memory. The executives smiled at him from his comfortable, familiar chair, aware of the torrents of confused thoughts hidden behind the gray eyes. When he had come out of the stupor that succeeded the almost disintegrating effects of his re-metamorphosis, Jim Channing remembered clearly the terms of the bargain he had made. He was to become a jube, a living nightmare living in a nightmare world for five years. At the end of that time, Planet Enterprise's promised him he would be given back his humanity and he would have earned enough money to keep him in luxury for the rest of his life. They had kept their promise to the letter. He felt it ungrateful of him that his paramount emotion was fury. He had been happy. No human attachment could ever make him as happy again. He longed for the glorious love and trust he had shared during that tremendous five years. Perhaps he had been a repulsive monster from whom any woman would run screaming, but he didn't want a woman. He wanted all-ma. He said, picking his words with the greatest care, would a further metamorphosis be possible? Fohlen's jaw dropped. It was a question he'd never expected to hear from any of the men who had taken the terrible choice for the glittering reward he held out to them. Most of them had picked up their vouchers and asked the way to the nearest tavern. Many of the alien races did not find alcohol compatible with their metabolisms. A few had inquired tentatively about his current receptionist. Planet Enterprises had a big turnover in pretty receptionists, but they didn't lose them to men who had been on human horrors for five years. One big red-haired character had wanted to start a private war, but none of them had wanted to go back. He said, It's possible, Mr. Channing, but I must tell you that a second metamorphosis is very expensive and it's permanent. You mean if I become a jube again, I must stay one? The executive nodded. Channing gestured toward the payment voucher. You said it was expensive. Is there enough there to cover it? Fohlen looked curiously at him. Yes, more than enough. He waited to hear what the big man would say next. Channing licked dry lips. A terrible doubt assailed him. Maybe Olma had been metamorphosed too. Maybe she had returned to her former self, whatever that may have been, while he sat here. He looked down at the big, freckled hands resting on his knees. They were trembling and his palms felt moist. Without looking up, he asked, Is the period of metamorphosis always for a term of five years? Invariably, no other term is possible in the present state of our knowledge of the technique, except permanency. A great sigh escaped Channing. That was all right then. Olma was genuinely a jube. The agent had told him about her, mentioned her by name, he remembered now, had said that she was up-clin farming on the neighboring planet. If she had been metamorphosed, she would have been taken from him more than a year ago. He tossed his cap on the table decisively and stood up. All right, I'll take the permanent treatment. Kim Deek sucked the methane through his gills with satisfaction. It was good to be home again. He'd forgotten already that he had ever been Jim Channing, that he would never be human again. He did not know that less than five minutes after the shuttle ship had borne him off to galactic enterprises, Olma had sent her spaceboat hurtling toward the fiery orb of Phylox Beta, mad with the grief of having lost him. It would not have concerned him much if he had known. Jubes make tender and devoted lovers, but they are notorious for their exceedingly bad memories.


So here at Allwinner you are announcing open source project. Yes, we are announcing the open source platform for smart devices at Computex 2016. So this is China OS and IoT OS. What is this? It's a light version of the Linux we customized for the smart devices. And it runs on these processors? Allwinner's R-serial processors are 8, 16 and R55 and even for the new processors are 40. And this is a single core A8? Quad core A7, octa core A7. And this one is a new one here? Yeah, a new one here. It can be an enhanced version for A20. The interface will be very rich. So take the HDMI for example. And we can go here to the next, we can see right here. So we can talk a little bit more about the Allatina platform. So here is, there's a custom applications people can build on top of the API system core. All this stuff is open, open source? Yes. So who are you? I'm Eric. And you work with open source at Allwinner? Yes. All right. So right here is connectivity solutions, Wi-Fi, online updates, power management. There's a lot of stuff. And all this you provide, how often will be updates? Every quarter. Quarter the updates. So let's see some of the examples right here. So this is the chip? It's R8 based on, from the next thing, it's a chip. R8. So this is R8 CPU and it's only $9 development board. Yes. And they have this pocket chip. So you can play games and as well as learning the programming. This is only $49 with the whole battery and everything in the keyboard and everything. And then you have some partners doing open source development boards. Yes. And take the banana pie for example. This is Nora and Justin from Banana Pie. So hello. Hello. So who are you? My name is Noraly. I'm the banana pie PM from Foxconn. So this is a project from Foxconn? Yes. So it's here is all winter based open source development boards right here. So who are you? My name is Justin Chen. I come from Foxconn. My job is software engineers. So it's my product is A183 banana pie M3. With a lot of connectors. Yes. And you have two USB. It's gate guide SNES. HDMI output, video output. Support SATA HD and SATA power. Micro USB and support OTG. The power is DCE. So you can display a touch panel here. And the camera. Sorry. Display touch panel is here. Nice. So there's a lot of things going on with these development boards. You have A20. Yes. What kind of prices you have right here? Okay. How much it cost each? The price is $30. $30 for A20? Yes. H3 is $35. $35? Yes. A20 plus is $80 or $17. So it's very popular, right? Yes. Are you the most popular open source platform? Yes. I think we are the number one quantity among the all-winner developer makers. How many? How many? $600,000. $600,000? Yes. That's a lot of developers developing on Angkor takes A7. This dual, this quad core, octa core. Yes. This is a big deal. And they do lots of different... So what kind of role do you have? What do you do in the company? What do you do? You reach out to... You work on all the different Linux? How many Linux do you support? Now we are Biopipe 4 support Ubuntu, OS, Debian, GentOS, and many, many, many open source systems. So we can support kernel ORG, the main truck, and U-boot, and official U-booter. So you can make many, many, many OS. So we can do... What? We can do... The H3, you can do IoT, and the smart home, and the robot. You can do it, many, many. So there's IoT, there's robots and everything? Yes. And the Tina OS, how is it compared with all these different OS there? It's a customized light Linux version for these smart devices. So it's light Linux? Yes. Is it similar to Ubuntu, Debian, or it's just very light Linux? It's good for IoT, right? Yes.  And you also have a connection with all the different... You connect with Linux Foundation with many different projects to make this work. Oh yes. This is our developer board for hardware and software developers. And for IoT, we have our different kind of customers already established board. But most of their product, maybe their device belongs to Gateway, something like that.  And you will be fully open source, as much open source as possible, right? And this is something you really want. You want all of them to be more and more open source, right? The developer is very important. Yes, because the all-winner is the first SOC semiconductor makers to be more open minded and to give the developer more technical support. And they open their data shoe or their CRB schematic. So the developers can adopt their files to create more devices. So right here, you have drones. There's drones and smart speakers. So it's already taking off, right? And some very big quantities already starting with the all-winner and Wi-Fi speaker. And what is this? This is a speech recognition module. Speech recognition. And this is just three, but they can be 3,000 ideas. So it's very important to be open source with this and to provide an open source ARM CPU for more and more innovation. Yes, we want to be open source. And it's personally for the ARM series. So we will update our software every quarter. Cool. And this is some other potential uses for the banana pie. It's content and it's a bank IoT. There's a lot of things going on here. All right. So that's cool. So more and more in the future. Thanks a lot. Thanks for being open source. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to another session on triangles and in this session. We are going to take up the first very important theorem Related to triangles and this is called angles some property of the triangle The theorem says the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees Right. So this is the basic statement of the angles some property theorem of the triangle What is it once again the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees So before we take up the proof it is always good to verify this So what I've done is I have drawn a triangle ABC you can see on the screen and I've also measured the Triangles so you can see at this stage angle a which is denoted by alpha. It's 24 degrees and 24.59 degrees and Beta is 98.26 degrees and gamma is 57.15 degrees now if you add all three of them It is coming out to be 180 degrees So you might ask that it could be just a coincidence that in this case it is summing up to 180 degrees But in fact it is true for any triangles any any sort of triangle Whether whatever type we studied in the previous session for example skill in triangle isosceles Equilateral or Whether it is acute whether it is obtuse or right angle triangle so it holds for anything So let's let's try and Change the configuration a bit and see whether whatever we are saying is true Yes, obviously, however much you try and demonstrate through these demonstrations You cannot generalize that every time you will be this particular theorem will be valid So only one instance is good enough to disprove any theorem So hence we have to have a generalized through theorem proof as well Which after this validation will take up and we'll try to prove it for all cases You know so so that no one can question that hey this was possible only for one particular configuration of the triangle So we will see a generalized proof as well But before that let us first verify or try to see if there is any case Do we really get any triangle where the sum of the three three angles is not 180 degree So I'm what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the position of a so this is what I'm changing and you can see The angles are changing all the three angles are changing, but the sum remains the same Same is the case with be if I change the position of be you can see The sum is again 180 though the three individual angles are changing and Finally I can change C as well So that you can see that it is right now It is an obtuse triangle guys if you can see it's an obtuse triangle Why because one of the angles is more than more than 90 degree we can go for a cute angle triangle as well So this is a cute angle triangle all the three angles are less than 90 degrees so this is a cute angle as well Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to simulate the process that is I will let it run on its own and you keep an eye over the three angles as well as its sum and Let's try to find out if there is any case where You know you get less than 180 degrees or so far you have seen now the triangles are you know the triangle is changing its position on its own angles are changing and We are not getting any such position where The angle is or the total sum is not 180 degrees so I'll let it run for a few more moments So it will keep on Changing its position right so it is automatically moving the configuration is changing slowly and In no case. We are seeing that there is less than 180 degrees or more than 180 degrees case every triangle the sum is 180 degree all the time Right this is what I wanted to first validate so in this session We learned that or we validated the particular theorem that is angles some property for triangle Which says that the sum of the three? Angles of a triangle will be 180 degrees always and we have verified it now. It's time to prove this so in the previous part of the video We saw the validation of the given theorem The theorem was sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degree which is also called angle some property of a triangle We saw that in the software that in different configuration of the triangle The the sum of the three angles was in indeed 180 degrees But then just few examples cannot Generalize the theorem or we cannot prove it for all the cases So hence we must have a generalized proof and that's what we are going to do So first of all learn the theorem the theorem says sum of three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees And we have to find out or we have to basically prove that it is true for any triangle So what I've done is I've drawn a triangle ABC Okay, so let me give you the proof So what is given? A triangle ABC Is given Right And what is to prove? to prove is angle A plus angle B Plus angle C is 180 degrees Okay, now you can see in the diagram I have given them a numeral Identities right so one two three four five like that so you can see which angle is what? And to prove this I am doing a construction I'm doing a construction. What is that a line? L Parallel to BC is drawn Okay, I have done this so I've drawn drawn this line Parallel to BC. How is that going to help me? Let's see now since L is parallel to BC I can say what angle five is equal to angle two Right, why is this? This is because of alternate interior angles So you learned in the previous Lines and angles chapter that if two lines are parallel and and ab is Transversal in this case So angle five will be equal to angle two alternate interior angles also Angle four is equal to angle three Right Same reason alternate interior angles now We have angle one plus angle four plus angle five Is equal to 180 degrees y sum of Angles on a line angles on a point In this case the point is a on one side of the line one side of the Line L right in this case we have seen this in the previous chapter in lines and angles chapter that If you have a line and if you have a point then on one side all the angles on that point Uh will be summing up to 180 degrees. So angle one plus four plus five is 180 degrees, isn't it? Otherwise, you can also see like say like that. So let's say this is Right, so one plus four. Let's say this is angle one plus four Angle one And angle four and this is angle five. Let's say so I am Trying in another view, right? So hence these two angles now are forming linear pair and linear pair are always 180 degrees So any of these reasoning both are same actually. So one plus four plus five is 180 degrees And we now know that one is angle four is angle three so I can write and angle five is angle two is 180 degrees Right, so let this be one and this be two so you can say from One and Right therefore angle a Plus angle b Plus angle c Is 180 degrees and hence proved Right, so the construction Of parallel line to bc was really helpful, isn't it? So that's how you prove that the sum of um three angles Of a triangle is 180 degrees. Actually, you can generalize it and I'll give you the generalized version as well so generalized version is if there is a n sided polygon and sided polygon Okay, so n is four then it becomes quadrilateral and is five becomes pentagon n is six becomes hexagon so on and so forth So if there is an n sided polygon then sum of all angles of the given polygon Now when I say all angles, I mean interior angles There could be exterior angles also we will see afterwards But always remember sum of all angles of the given polygon is given by nothing but n minus two Into 180 degrees Okay, this is the formula n minus two into 180 degrees you can check for triangle for triangles n is three three sides so three so three minus two into 180 degrees Which is simply 180 degrees now you can guess for quadrilaterals Angle some property of quadrilateral will be nothing but four minus two into 180 degrees which is 360 degrees So sum of all the four angles of a quadrilateral one two three and this four So angle one plus angle two plus angle three plus angle four is 180 degrees Okay, similarly pentagon pentagon is how much For pentagon will be it will be five minus two into 180 degrees. So you now know what is it? 540 degrees. Similarly for hexagon, it will be 720 degrees and so on and so forth So this is a generalized form and you can prove this if you know The triangle sum or angle sum property for triangle, right? So you can see you can draw draw a line diagram like that for quadrilateral. Let's say So both there are two triangles. So two triangles Interior angle is 180 180 each so it will become 360 if There was a polygon a pentagon then there will be three triangles And hence it will be three times 180 like that. So this is how you can prove also, right? So this is an information that if there are and there is an n-sided polygon Then sum of all angles of the given polygon will be n minus two into 180 degrees Okay, or many times this is written as two n minus four Into 90 degrees Correct. So whichever Suits you you can remember that right. So this is much easier to remember n minus two times 180 degrees. Okay


Welcome back to Come Again TV, the only place on YouTube where all key culture collides. I'm Shannon and today on the show, we're going to be taking a look at a new Funko Pop. This is the Eddie Winslow Funko Pop. Alright, so last week we took a look at Carl Winslow. He was pop 1377 from pop television. Today we're taking a look at his son, Eddie. Eddie struggled a lot in family matters, struggled way more than his sister, way more than Steve. He was always the one getting himself in and others into pretty rough situations. He was always coming up with some get rich quick scheme or some scheme to date multiple girls at the same time. Or just downright getting into trouble. And eventually that led to him moving out of the house and getting an apartment with Steve Urkel that didn't last very long. It led to him going to college and then quitting college to join the police force. Eddie was played by Darius McCrary, appeared in 215 episodes between 1989 and 1998. Him and his sister Laura, played by Kelly Chenine Williams, were the only two children left from beginning to end of the series. The producers ended up evicting Judy, played by Jamie Foxworth from the cast. They're also the only two family members of the Winslow's to show up all throughout the series. Rachel, played by Thomas Hopkins, only appeared for 93 episodes. She was released to pursue her own sitcom that didn't really last about midway through the series. Estelle, played by Rosetta Lenore, she was released appearing sporadically. She appeared in 158 episodes, appeared in more during the beginning of the series, but fewer and fewer episodes as the series went on after she got married in the series.  They were in the fewest episodes, appearing Myra, appeared in 55 episodes, and Maxine appeared in 58 episodes. Waldo, Geraldo, Faldo, they definitely need to make a pop of him, apparently appeared in 107 episodes. He came along a couple seasons in, and him and Eddie weren't exactly best friends in the beginning. He was actually best friends with one of the school bullies, and then became best friends with Weasel, and then he became Eddie's best friend. And Sean Harrison played him perfectly. But this episode of Pop Review is not about them. This is about Eddie Winslow, played by Darius McCrary. As you can see here, he is pop number 1378 from Pop Television. Here's his display side. This is how I display all my pops, just like this, side by side. Here's his window side, and then we have the back. Family Matters logo. We have Carl. We have Eddie. We have Laura. We have Steve. And that picture is Stefan, who is labeled as Steve. So let's go ahead and open this box up and take a look at the pop inside. Alright, so Eddie, like his father, comes in clamshell packaging with the latches, so we just pop those out and pop him out. There he is. Let's go ahead and take a look at him next to Carl. Let's go ahead and bring this down a bit. Move him to the side and bring in Carl.  Number 58. I'm not sure which sport this is for, though. I want to say Eddie played football and basketball. Mainly basketball, but I want to say he was on the football team also. His hair is sculpted and then just painted on here. Just like Carl, his head is pretty solid, not hollow like some of the earlier pops. It does turn all the way around. There's not really much to say about these pops. The detail is really good. I really like them. Let me see if I can trim them. There we go. That's a little bit better. Not really a whole lot to say. I'm not sure what Darius McCrary's career has been like since Family Matters. Apparently he was in Saw Six and Transformers as jazz, but I'm not sure what else. I'm not sure about all his acting credits. He's got five nominations for awards. And then they did a reunion for E Entertainment, I want to say. A few years back of the Family Matters cast. I'm not really sure what else to say. Eddie was always a good character. He kept the series going. They always did that with the older brother, usually in sitcoms in the 90s. Had them be in the one who always got into trouble and everything. But yeah, not really a whole lot to say about Eddie. Great pop vinyl. He looks really good alongside Carl. I'm almost tempted, almost tempted to display them out of the box. But I'm an in-the-box collector and that's how I display my pops. I have been so tempted over the years to remove them from the boxes, put the boxes and the clamshells in the storage and display them open. It's just a hard habit to get into, to get out of. So anyway, just like with the previous episode, if you watched Family Matters growing up in the 80s and 90s, and you have a favorite episode, let me know what that episode is in the comments below. If you find either of these pops in the wild, I highly suggest you get them. I do wish they would include Estelle and Harriet and Rachel and Lil Richie to complete the Family Matters family and Judy. She was a big part of the series. Well, not a big part of the series, but a part of the series and the family for the first few seasons. So we need to show Judy some love and bring her back in pop form. This has been the Pop Television number 1378 Family Matters, Eddie Winslow. If you enjoyed that video, make sure you check out one of these two playlists for more videos just like the one you just watched.

Hello friends and how are you all doing today? The question says, find the equation of the tangent and nominal to the given curves at the indicated points. Now here we are given the equation of the curve as x raised to the power 4 minus 6xq plus 13x square minus 10x plus 5 at 1 comma 3. Let's proceed with the solution quickly. Let us rewrite y is equal to x raised to the power 4 minus 6xq plus 13x square minus 10x plus 5. Now let us differentiate y with respect to x. And on doing so we get dy by dx is equal to 4xq minus 18x square plus 26x minus 10, isn't it? Now we need to find out the value of dy by dx at point 1 comma 3. It is dy by dx at since we only have x in R, dy by dx the value will be 4 1q minus 181 square plus 26 into 1 minus 10 which is 4 minus 18 plus 26 minus 10. On solving we have 30 minus 28 that is equal to 2. So that means slope of tangent is 2. So slope of normal will be minus 1 upon dy by dx that is minus 1 upon 2. Now since we have slope of both tangent and normal we can find the equation of both of them. So we have equation of tangent as y minus y1 which is 3 equal to m that is slope x minus x1 that is 1. Similarly we will be solving it. So we have y minus 3 equal to 2x minus 1 which gives us y is equal to 2x minus 2 plus 3 will give us plus 1. In the same manner we will be finding out equation normal is y minus y1 equal to slope of the normal x minus x1 which gives us 2y minus 6 is equal to minus x plus 1 which further gives us the value as x plus 2y minus 6 here it will become minus 1 will be minus 7 equal to 0. So the answer for the second part is equation for tangent is y is equal to 2x plus 1 and for normal it is x plus 2y minus 7 is equal to 0. So this completes our solution hope you understood the whole concept well do take care of your calculations and have a very nice day ahead.


Moving on now, about 49 students of Idobo Secondary School in Igbobao, a high-local government area where those students have been arrested for allegedly burning a section of the school and vandalizing the principal's office. The police public relations officer in Ido State, Bello Contong, confirmed the incident in an interview with our correspondent. The incident was said to have occurred on Friday. In a viral video which surfaced online on Tuesday, the students were seen chasing a man believed to be the principal when they could not catch up with him. The rampaging students returned to the school premises and visited Asin on the school.

I'm Professor Noel Anne Bradshaw and I'm the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science here at the University of Greenwich. Partnerships are so important to us. We really value our industry and educational partners that we work alongside with. Some of our academics have worked in industry and that brings their experience into the classroom. All our degree courses are co-designed with industry, so we get industry professionals in to talk to us about what's changing in the sector. And also we can put on courses that are specifically tailored to the demands of industry. Knowledge exchange is hugely important, so industry can work with us on what's called a KTP, which is a knowledge transfer partnership. And what this is, is a funded or co-funded partnership funded by government whereby the university and industry work together on a non-standard problem. So any problem that a company has that they're trying to solve, we can work alongside them on a knowledge transfer partnership to help find a solution. So we work with a wide variety of companies, whether they're small, start-ups even or much larger corporations. And we work with organisations from a wide variety of backgrounds and industries, for example computing, data science, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and engineering such as construction. Everything that we do, all our partnerships and our courses that we offer, really help to give students that grounding that they need to be able to go out and get an excellent graduate job.


It is now time for a question period, the Leader of the Majesty's Royal Opposition. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. Premier, your finance minister says he wants to, quote, optimize and maximize public assets. Premier, we both know what he really means is creating Warren Buffett-style efficiencies. That means streamlining. It means cost-cutting. It means job losses. It means jobs are about to disappear at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Ontario Power Authority and Ontario Power Generation. Even Smokey Thomas, President of Ops, who recognizes that you can eliminate the deficit in three years without cutting services for the people of Ontario when he said, quote, with what they're promising to spend and how they're promising to control costs, the public service can only shrink. And so my question, Premier, is quite simple. How many liquor store employees, LCBO employees, Hydro One employees and OPG employees are about to lose their jobs? Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Well, again, it is, I mean, it's an interesting situation when the party that ran on immediately cutting 100,000 jobs in Ontario, Mr. Speaker, are questioning us about that issue. So Mr. Speaker, let me just say that the reason we have asked Ed Clark and his team to look at the assets that are owned by the people of Ontario is that we want to make sure that they work to the optimal value, optimal benefit for the people of Ontario. And I have said a number of times, Mr. Speaker, that had we had such a process in place, had the government of the day had such a process in place when they were looking at the 407, Mr. Speaker, I believe that there would not have been such a bad deal for the people of Ontario because there's billions and billions of dollars of revenue that are lost to the people of Ontario on what was a public asset, Mr. Speaker, because of the arrangement. And we're not going to do that, Mr. Speaker. Go to supplementary. Again, to the Premier. Premier, here's a chance to display some of that transparency and accountability you always talk about. Here's a chance to tell the lenders and credit rating agencies exactly what you mean by optimize and maximize. Here's a chance to tell employees at the LCBO, OPG and OPA just how many of their jobs are on the line. So, Premier, why don't you just be honest? Can you tell the people of Ontario how many jobs you intend to maximize out the door? Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Well, we have been very honest and we are honestly concerned that the assets that are owned by the people of Ontario, that they be optimized, Mr. Speaker, and that those revenues and that those assets work for the people of Ontario so that we can reinvest in the infrastructure that is needed, Mr. Speaker. So, for example, selling the LCBO headquarters, selling that real estate, selling the GM shares, Mr. Speaker, to make sure that we have that money to put into a fund in order to build public transit. That's responsible management of the assets of this province, Mr. Speaker. And to reinvest those dollars in infrastructure that is needed in 2014 is exactly what is at the core of our investment strategy around infrastructure, Mr. Speaker. I'll try again now, Mr. Speaker. Premier, you and your finance minister can speak in code all you want. You can talk about optimizing and maximizing, but we all know that you mean job losses. You're simply not being honest with the people of Ontario. If you're going to meet these deficit reduction targets you always talk about, there comes a point where the rubber meets the road, so I'll ask you again in this chamber, in front of your peers, and for the benefit of viewers at home, how many people will be out of work by the time you finish selling off Ontario's assets? Thank you, Premier. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Well, you know, the reality is that the people of Ontario rejected the proposal that was put forward by the member opposite and his team to cut and slash across government, Mr. Speaker, to cut public services and what the member opposite didn't talk about was the services that would have been cut as a result of the extreme and reckless plan that they were putting forward. That plan was rejected, Mr. Speaker. Our plan is to invest in the people of this province, to invest in their talent and their skills. Mr. Speaker, I was just at a forum this morning with a visiting delegation from China, Mr. Speaker, and I was talking to a business owner who was setting up a research and development capacity here in Ontario, and the reason for that is the talent and the skills of our people. He said that explicitly. Because of our educated workforce, they are locating here in Ontario. That's the kind of investment we... Thank you. Any questions? The member from Kitchener, Conestoga? My question is to the Premier. Premier, yesterday you told the CBC that you'd be, quote, adding more GO trains immediately to the Kitchener Waterloo line. That statement is a big departure from your GO announcement earlier this year when you said it would take until 2016 for you to deliver the trains you actually cut four years ago as transportation minister. Gone trains. Premier, simple question. Did you misspeak yesterday, or have you learned from the air of your ways and now realize your decision to slash GO train expansion to KW should be corrected as soon as possible? Here, here. Here's your transportation. The transportation. Well, thanks very much, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the member from Kitchener for his question. This is the second opportunity that I've had since becoming the minister of transportation to stand at my place here in the House and respond to a question from that member regarding the crucial investments that we are making in his community and communities right across Ontario. And I'll repeat today, Speaker, what I said on the occasion of responding to that first question, which is this is one of the reasons that it's extremely important for members of that caucus and that particular member to support the budget that we've reintroduced in this legislature, Speaker. We are proposing, we are planning, and we are committed to investing $29 billion in crucial public transit infrastructure, which will serve communities like Kitchener Waterloo. And I know that that member will want to work with us in particular our members from his region, like the member from Kitchener Centre, to make sure that we implement a plan that makes sense for everybody in his community and right across Ontario. Thank you. Speaker, I know the new minister is keen, but these were the comments that were actually made by the Premier. So Premier, I'll ask you again. Premier, I know you've got a majority, but you can ignore me, but not the constituents that I represent here. Premier, you doubled down yesterday on your commitment to build high-speed rail from London to Toronto, claiming you could deliver within a decade. Yet you continue to say you need until 2016 to add two GO trains to the Kitchener Line that you actually cut as transportation minister. Premier, do you really expect Ontarians to believe that you can deliver high-speed rail in a decade when you say you need six years to add just two more GO trains to the Kitchener Line? Thank you. Thank you. Well, thanks very much again, Speaker, and I'm not quite sure how much clearer we can make this on this side of the house for the member opposite. Both with respect to the question around high-speed rail service and regarding the question of increasing GO service to his community. I just want to reiterate, try to make this as clear as I possibly can. Our government is committed to bringing full-day two-way GO train service to the UTA. As we've said, this is a plan that's going to take place over the next number of years. The $29 billion that are included in our budget for these kinds of investments will help make sure that we can make this commitment become reality, and we are determined to make that the case, Speaker. I should mention that, as we've said in the past, by the end of 2016, Metrolinx will be adding four additional trains, two in the morning and two in the afternoon to serve the Kitchener station. It's also important to note to me that we've invested $19.3 billion in public transit, specifically including $9.1 billion for GO service. I can't call on that member to support our budget to help his community. So again, you just heard the minister say 2016, but the Premier said yesterday she'd add those immediately. So clearly, my constituents and across Southwestern Ontario actually deserve an answer on this. So again, Premier, yesterday you told the CBC Kitchener Waterloo that your transportation minister would release a third-party report that you say backs up your claims about high-speed rail from London to Toronto. But just last week when I actually asked the minister in question period if you'd release the report, he refused. Ontarians are finding it hard to believe that you have any evidence to support your high-speed rail project, especially when experts across the province have rejected the proposal, calling it CBC. So Premier, if you really don't have anything to hide, why don't you just order your transportation minister to release that report today? Good question. Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I thank the member opposite for that question again. You know, Speaker, in the interest of trying to provide clarity to that particular member, I am happy to work with him to provide him with a bit of a briefing on this issue outside of this legislature. It is important to recognize, as I said in the answer to the second question, we have made significant investments in crucial public transit infrastructure over the last 11 years, Speaker. And in fact, between 1999 and 2003 the PCs contributed nothing to go transit, Speaker, leaving it to municipalities to carry the weight and the responsibility. I think what was abundantly clear in the course of this last election campaign is that the people of the Kitchener-Waterloo Region, along with people right across this province of Ontario, understood the importance of the comprehensive and thoughtful plan that we are willing to implement. $29 billion over the next 10 years, $14 billion for communities outside the GTHA, $50 billion for communities inside the GTHA. Thank you. New question, the leader of the third party. Thank you, Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Does the Premier think it was a mistake for various conservatives to sell off the 407? Thank you. Yes, I do, Mr. Speaker. I think the way it was done, I think the fact that there has been no long-term benefit to the people of Ontario by that decision that the previous government made was a mistake, and I have used the 407, Mr. Speaker, and the lack of good process around that as an example of exactly why there needs to be a different process. That's exactly why we have asked Ed Clark and his team to look at the assets owned by the people of Ontario to optimize them to make sure that there is ongoing benefit for the people of Ontario and the ability to reinvest in new infrastructure, Mr. Speaker, which is needed now in 2014. Thank you. I didn't get a clear answer to my question. Does the Premier think selling off valuable assets like the 407, like the OPG, like the LCBO is a good idea? Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I think I know where the members going on this, Mr. Speaker. I think that the leader of the third party is trying to suggest that that's the agenda that we're sneaking into the legislature and into government. Mr. Speaker, it is it was a mistake to deal with the 407 in the way that the Conservatives did. That is my opinion, Mr. Speaker. I believe that there could have been a much better long term benefit to the people of Ontario. It is also a mistake, Mr. Speaker, for a government never to review the assets, never to look at whether they are producing the maximum benefit for the people of Ontario. So, Mr. Speaker, we're not going to make that mistake. We're not going to make that mistake. We're going to have a process that is responsible, that is prudent, that looks at those assets and makes sure that they are performing for the people of Ontario. Final supplementary? Well, Speaker, nobody thinks the Liberals are sneaking anything anywhere. Her plan is based on $3.15 billion coming in the door from the sales of assets. It is clear as a bell in their budget. And we know that in the long term, these kinds of activities, these kinds of sell-offs are a bad thing for the people of Ontario. It sets our province back. It cuts out sources of revenues. It leads to higher costs for the people of this province, Speaker. So why does the Premier think that asset sales are okay as long as they do it the Liberal way? So, Mr. Speaker, what I think is not just okay but responsible is that government look at the assets that are owned by the people of Ontario and that we make sure that in 2014 those assets are working in the best way possible so that the infrastructure that is needed, the investments that are needed now can be made. So part of our plan, it's not our whole plan but part of our plan is to look at those assets, to ask Ed Clark and his team who have expertise to look at those assets and make sure that they are working to the best advantage of the people of Ontario. That's responsible. That's what we're doing, Mr. Speaker. That's not what the previous government did with the 407. Thank you, Speaker. My next question is for the Premier. Does the Premier think that Ontarians voted for austerity and cuts? Mr. Speaker what we know the people of Ontario did not vote for, Mr. Speaker was a disparate, disconnected list of ideas that were basically based on our fiscal plan, Mr. Speaker, and didn't hang together and had no coherence. So they didn't vote for that, Mr. Speaker. They did not vote for the leader of the third finish, please. The plan that we put forward, Mr. Speaker was a plan that would build the province up. It's a plan that was rooted in the budget that we introduced at the beginning of May that would invest in the people of this province and their talent and their skills, which is drawing investment from around the world, Mr. Speaker, that would invest in the infrastructure that's needed, whether it's the roads and bridges in Northern and rural Ontario or the transit in our urban centres, Mr. Speaker, and would set up an Ontario retirement pension and retirement security. That's what the plan is that we put forward. That's the plan we were eager to implement, Mr. Speaker. Does the Premier think that Ontarians voted for the cost of everyday life to go up for them and their families? So, Mr. Speaker, what we know is that if we do not have an economy that is thriving, then it will be very, very difficult for people to find jobs, Mr. Speaker. It will be difficult for our children and our grandchildren to have retirement security, Mr. Speaker. It will be extremely difficult to draw businesses to the province. So, what we need to do is make sure that we make the right investments now, that we have the constraints in place so that we can eliminate the deficit by 2017-18, Mr. Speaker, but making the investments in the province and making sure that we don't leave the most vulnerable behind. All of that is part of the plan we ran on. That's the plan that we are eager to invest, and that's the plan that the people of Ontario voted for. The Liberals insist that their budget is progressive, but this is what people see. They see that yesterday the Finance Minister gave auto insurance companies another boost, while drivers continue to not see any savings. They see the Liberal Plan will send hydro rates up to 2%, another skyrocketing increase over the next number of years. There is growing acknowledgement, a chorus of growing acknowledgement, that the job cuts that are hidden in this Trojan horse budget will be significant. They see a Premier who can't explain why she's moving forward with asset sales when she used to oppose them. People have some pretty simple questions about this Trojan horse budget, and my question to Premier is, why will she not come clean with the people of Ontario? There was a lot in that question. I'm just going to focus on the auto insurance. The NDP heard this throughout the candidate, the leader of the third party's candidate for halt and tweeted quote, just got my latest car insurance payment update, and I'm paying $22 less a month. That's $260 less a year. There's been on average more than $1 billion in savings than in the last election, Mr. Secretary Otto. What people see in our budget, Mr. Speaker, many of them across the board, they see $2.5 billion in jobs and prosperity fund, Mr. Speaker, they see $130 billion in public infrastructure investments, $11.4 billion in hospital expansions, a made in Ontario retirement pension plan, an increase in the Ontario child benefits and $810 million for people with developmental disability. That's all part of our plan. Thank you. The member from the through you is to the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Minister, it's been seven years since Ashley Smith suffered her terrible death and seven months since a coroner's jury made recommendations so that this type of tragedy wouldn't be repeated. On May 1st, the federal government partnered with the Royal Ottawa Healthcare Group to fund a two-bed pilot project for mentally ill female offenders at the Brockville Secure Treatment unit in my riding. The partnership between the federal government and the hospital is because of this treatment model's outstanding results with mentally ill male offenders. Minister, you know there are many women like Ashley in our Ontario jails suffering. My question is, do you think should deny them access to a program male offenders have been able to access since 2003 because of their gender? Thank you. Thank you very much Speaker, and I think the member opposite for asking a very important question. I know it's an issue that the member has spoken about in the past and has advocated and I know my predecessor the Attorney General has worked with the member opposite on this issue as well and Speaker, so do I. I continue to look into this matter. I've had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of the Royal Ottawa Hospital which happens to be located in my community of Ottawa Centre and most recently I had a brief conversation with member opposite and I look forward to continue working with him on this very important issue so that we are providing appropriate mental health treatment for all inmates within our detention system. Thank you. Yes, you're right Minister. I have spoken to you and your predecessor about this. In May, a spokesperson told Global News your ministry quote would be willing to review any proposal put forward by the federal government. Well your government has given me the same answer since 2010 and the federal government has stepped up Minister. You're wrong. The Attorney General is wrong. Chair, please. It's time to drop the excuse that you can do nothing now that the feds are moving forward. The good news is you've got a great opportunity now to do the right thing. You know Minister, the good work that the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group does with mentally ill patients you know the good work that they do so I'm asking you will you commit today to bring the province to the table and finally move forward with a plan to treat mentally ill women offenders. They shouldn't be in the jail. They should be getting treatment. Minister, when will you come to the table? Thank you. Thank you very much Speaker. Again, I thank the member opposite for his question and I will restate that on this important issue. We need to make sure Speaker that we are treating all our inmates with fairness, with respect and they deserve the same access to support as those in the community and I will continue as the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services I will continue to work along with all members of this house to ensure that those type of services are presented for inmates in our custody. Speaker, Ontario has now provided specialized services to inmates and we are launching the Forensic Early Intervention Service at the Toronto South Detention Centre it's the first strategy of its kind in Canada. There's a lot of work that is ongoing right now Speaker in our professional facilities to ensure that inmates with mental health challenges are given proper treatment and I look forward to working with the member opposite to make sure that female inmates have fair and equal treatment available to them as well. Thank you very much Thank you very much My question is to the Minister of Finance Mr. Speaker, four years ago the Liberal government put $2 billion into the pockets of the insurance industry they slashed our benefits and resulted in a cost savings to the insurance industry of $2 billion annually yet drivers in Ontario are still paying the highest auto insurance in the country while they move so quickly to slash the benefits for drivers they move so quickly to increase the profits for the insurance industry why is it that the new plan announced yesterday by the Minister of Finance seeks again to put more money into the pockets of the insurance industry but drivers are still waiting to see any reduction in their insurance rates Interesting question from a member across the way who says he's advocating for lower rates and yet when we've tried putting forward legislation last February found ways to stall it delay and force us to now reintroduce it after a forced election which had been done initially would have resulted in lower rates today we have been fighting for lowering insurance rates since 2003 we've taken measures in 2010 to provide for the anti-task force in 2011 we've had private members from our side of the house that have been advocating for the same and will continue to do that obviously without their support because they voted against the very measures that would have reduced insurance rates by this point in time Mr. Speaker the measures that the Minister of Finance is speaking about have no guarantee whatsoever of reducing insurance rates for drivers but certainly will increase the profits for the insurance industry now when asked yesterday point blank will this minister and will this government be able to reach their 8% target reduction by August the silence was deafening in the response by the Minister of Finance now instead of guaranteeing that yes there will be reductions the Minister of Finance said shop around and maybe you can find them now the budget is silent on any new measures to guarantee a reduction for drivers in Ontario I have a very simple question for the Minister of Finance it's very clear that the Minister of Finance is not going to reach the August 8% reduction deadline will the Minister commit to guaranteeing a reduction for drivers instead of continually putting more money in the pockets of the insurance industry Mr. Speaker because of the measures that we've taken because we've added more teeth to FISCO because we're adding to the resolution system's acceleration because we're looking after the towing industry because we're working with adjusters and appraisers to ensure that there's a proper dispute mechanism and an appeals process to provide for charges against those that may violate because we're attacking fraud because we're looking after the clinics that are doing it because we're reaching and doing everything we can to reduce the claim cost which results in higher premiums we have made measures to reduce as well we have well over 14 insurance companies who have publicly filed with reduction in their rates by more than 10% some as high as 14% and 15% already we have publicized this we have put them on the web pages and his own colleagues have resulted they themselves have said that they've already received lower rates because they've taken the measures and because they've made those calls we will act obviously without serious please your question thank you Mr. Speaker my question is for the minister of municipal affairs and housing safe and affordable housing is an issue that affects all Ontarians whether they live in my riding of York Southwestern in Windsor or in Thunder Bay during the recent election the need for our government to continue investing in affordable and social housing was an issue that was frequently brought to my attention and last week in the throne speech our government committed to building a fairer and healthier province and that means greater access to affordable housing the question I'm now being asked is how are we going to tackle this pressing need so Mr. Speaker through you to the minister could he please explain what our government is doing and will do to ensure that we continue to invest in the vulnerable Ontarians who need greater access to safe and affordable housing thank you minister of municipal affairs thanks Mr. Speaker I want to thank the member from York Southwestern for her ongoing advocacy in this area we understand that long-term local solutions are really the only way to address the ongoing need to house vulnerable folk absolutely that's why our government is focusing on Ontario's housing first strategy we've invested over three billion dollars in affordable housing more than any government before us in our throne speech Mr. Speaker our government committed to expanding the community homelessness prevention initiative and the investment in affordable housing programs but it's not an issue just for the province or municipalities to be brutally frank we need an ongoing federal partner that we can counter for an answer to supplementary well thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you too the minister for confirming our government's commitment to social and affordable housing as you may know the first cooperative housing building in the city of Toronto was built in my writing of York Southwestern a residence called Beach Hall however Beach Hall is experiencing a crisis that hasn't seen the likes since the 1970s when the Toronto Borough of York threatened to phase out this complex in favour of a new development the federal government till now has provided assistance to co-ops and other housing providers to programs started in the 70s and the 80s however these agreements are expiring and the date is quickly approaching where most of these contracts will be phased out now many residents of Beach Hall are calling on the federal government to maintain the existing housing stock and they believe that the federal government needs to come back to the table with long-term stable sources of funding Mr. Speaker through you to the minister could he please explain what our government will do to ensure that the federal government maintains its funding Minister Mr. Speaker our government certainly welcomed the March 2013 announcement by the federal government to renew the housing program for the next five years that said they also indicated that they're about to get out of maintaining existing social housing stock which causes us some real concern so it remains the fact that the federal government's contribution is going to be reduced reducing and reducing quickly over the next 15-20 years so if we're going to get on with the social housing and cooperative housing opportunities that are presented and which many stakeholders in Ontario have been able to avail themselves of we are going to have to work together the federal government, the provincial government and the municipal government and I hope the opposition and the third party will join us in our efforts and particularly with respect to putting pressure on the federal government. Thank you. Prime Minister Elizabeth Nicholson is a 24 year old young woman who is living with a very rare disease called spinal cerebellia ataxia. This is a painful and disabling neurodegenerative disease which is ultimately terminal. Elizabeth's needs have recently become so significant that her family is not able to care for her anymore at home given that she requires 24-7 assistance. Her family has finally found a place where she can live out her days in comfort and dignity. If she can accommodate her needs her family has found such a place in its sunbeam lodge and Kitchener. Yet the Ministry of Community and Social Services refuses to fund the $40,500 it will cost to keep her there for six months which is just a little over $200 a day which will keep Elizabeth there for what might well be her last six months. Recently her family was forced to resort to the internet to essentially crowdfund the money that she needs.  Thank you. Minister of Community and Social Services Minister of Community and Social Services Well thank you very much Mr. Speaker and thank you to the member for Whitby Oshawa for this question. Of course we cannot discuss any particular individual case because of issues of confidentiality but as a government I know that we remain totally committed to supporting those with developmental disabilities and we are providing additional services. We do take this issue incredibly seriously I know the member opposite from having worked with her previously on the Select Committee on Mental Health and Addictions is totally committed to issues around the vulnerable and I would just say to her that we also share that kind of commitment to what we are doing in the developmental disability community and we do believe very strongly that the families the individuals need the type of support that perhaps we have heard about in this particular case and we are committed to that. Supplementary? I would say to the minister this is a situation that really requires immediate attention and the answer that the family got back through your ministry is that the developmental services office is going to offer them some kind of respite or some kind of passport funding which we all know there isn't any money for this young person needs a place within the last six months she has a... Thank you Thank you We have no idea what the money is going to be used for that's been allocated in the budget you have not been forthcoming on that but this is a very specific case where this young woman needs your attention and all we get is a process answer well you can't hide behind process on this we all know that there is a way to do this if there is a will to do this so minister will you please summon the will and find a way to fund this young woman's day for what might be her life this month at Sunbeam Lodge Thank you Minister Thank you Mr. Speaker so perhaps maybe we need an explanation for our upcoming budget for those with developmental disabilities first of all I think the member does know that developmental services Ontario offices work together with families to explore all possible solutions in the community and so in our upcoming budget we're proud to be proposing an investment of $810 million over the next three years this is the single largest infusion of support to the sector province in history and this proposed please finish this proposed additional funding would increase our government's investment in developmental services to $2 billion in 2016 2017 this means there will be support for an additional 1400 people with urgent residential needs you will eliminate waitlist for 8,000 children Thank you Thank you speaker my question is for the Associate Minister of Finance pooled retirement pension plans are Stephen Harper approved plans that are good for banks they are however a gamble for families the Liberals insist their plan is progressive but it is a plan that's great for Bay Street but leaves Main Street falling behind Jim Leach is the head of the Ontario teachers pension plan he knows a thing or two about pensions this is what Jim Leach had to say about the promise of these private pensions if markets have been bad your retirement lifestyle will be far less so my question why is the premier gambling on a Stephen Harper approved private pension scheme Thank you speaker and I want to thank Member Opposite for her climate and his critic for pensions we know that this is a very important issue because our population is aging and we have to prepare for the future and that is why speaker we have proposed the Ontario retirement pension plan which is an opportunity for us to put away a little bit today for the retirement that is coming tomorrow and our Ontario retirement pension plan is going to be providing pensions for those in the middle class who currently are without a workplace pension it will be a comparable and and in fact will work very well with voluntary plans like the PRPP like RRSPs and other means speaker but what is important is that we plan for now for what is inevitable in the future which is an aging population speaker and we know that we are not adequately covering 3 million people without a workplace pension I am now moving to warnings individual warnings when I get quiet somebody uses that opportunity to say something I will get you supplementary like the budget this pension plan is a Trojan horse plan the Premier's rhetoric is all about a new public pension plan but when you look inside you find Stephen Harper's private pensions Stephen Harper likes this plan because it helps out banks and the bank fees on this PRPPs can take a third out of your retirement savings it's just another way that Bay Street benefits and Main Street falls behind so again why is the Premier's pension plan putting banks ahead of people is that we actually took our plans to voters in Ontario and they have overwhelmingly confirmed that we have ensured that we are taking care of retirement futures this is about building Ontario up speaker and in fact you talk about what economists are saying and in fact when we plan for the future and give people a predictable stream of income in their retirement years this is in fact good for our economy it sustains our economies in cities and towns across this province so speaker we are doing the smart thing by introducing the Ontario retirement pension plan while ensuring that voluntary options are still available to people so that they can meet their retirement goals and that is the responsible and the smart thing to do in terms of security to Mr. Speaker my question is to the Minister of Transportation Mr. Speaker Ottawa is a world class city it is not only a great place to live but also a destination for businesses and tourists my constituent and those who visit the city are able to experience and appreciate so much of what the city has to offer being a world class city means we also need a world class transit system that is why with the support of the Ontario government otherwise building the LRT system this 2.1 billion confederation line is a solution for transit needs not only that but my constituents are thrilled that it will help promote the economics, culture and social benefits of the great city of Ottawa Mr. Speaker through you to your Minister can you please speak to the investment we've made so far in the LRT Thank you very much Mr. Speaker I want to begin by thanking the new member from Ottawa Orleans for that fantastic question our government has also recognized the impact that the Ottawa LRT will have on the city of Ottawa it is indeed a world class city a city that's population is projected to grow by 30% up until 2031 and public transportation is already nearing its capacity in the downtown core and these are some of the reasons why in 2009 our government committed up to $600 million towards stage 1 of the Ottawa LRT project thanks to the advocacy of all of the caucus members that we have on this side from Ottawa that is the single largest investment ever made to the city's public transit system from the provincial government the LRT is something that all of our Ottawa caucus members have advocated for through them the government has recognized the impact this will have on residents, tourists and business within that city construction began on the confederation line on April 2013 and the city of Ottawa projects that this project will create approximately 20,000 jobs you correct my record and I apologize for any member from Ottawa or Lies on a supplementary thank you Mr. President thank you Mr. Speaker for his response the benefits of the project to our city are vast both socially and economically Ottawa's prosperity depends on moving people more efficiently the LRT will mean reliable commuting, lower emissions and quieter neighborhoods all while creating jobs it is estimated that 67% of residents of Ottawa will live within 5 kilometers of the LRT I know we're excited to see the completed LRT going down the road in 2018 Mr. Speaker, what's even more encouraging to the people of Ottawa or Lies and the rest of the city of Ottawa is that our government's investment haven't stopped here can the minister speak to what other investment the government of Ontario has made to the transportation infrastructure of Ottawa and how have my residents of Ottawa or Lies benefited from this government thank you very much Mr. Speaker and again I thank the member from Ottawa or Lies for that fantastic follow-up easing congestion and helping commuters get home quicker is one of our government's main objectives and that's why Speaker we've committed approximately $1.09 billion to support public transit in Ottawa since 2003 this includes $27 million for transit maintenance and approximately $314 million in gas tax funding specifically as part of the Ottawa LRT agreement we have also committed to widening Highway 417 between Nicholas Street and the Ottawa Road to 24 split this Mr. Speaker will help ensure the Ottawa LRT is successful as the member knows as every member knows our budget includes our moving Ontario forward plan this is a plan that would see a record investment of $29 billion to support transportation infrastructure $15 billion within the GTHA and $14 billion for the rest of the province and investments like these will help to boost our economy and break the congestion that is costing us billions of dollars a year Thank you Speaker my question is for the Minister of Economic Development since taking over government just 10 years ago my riding of Stormont Dundas in South Congare has lost over 4,000 good paying manufacturing jobs in just the past few months 3 more companies have announced they are closing their doors American Standard, Canlight Phillips and Sensi and Biopharma are moving almost 300 jobs to our U.S. neighbours when will the Minister realize that they need to tackle the out of control regulation, fees, taxation and high door rates that are making our province uncompetitive and unattractive to business that are not receiving your government's corporate to giveaways Thank you Minister of Economic Development and Employment and First Front Thank you Mr. Speaker no matter how hard the PCs spin it no matter how hard they try to talk down Ontario's economy the fact of the matter is that it is a fact that we are up 460,000 jobs since the recession Mr. Speaker if the member really cared about jobs in this province he would be supporting the budget that we want to get moved forward this summer before the House adjourns Mr. Speaker if he was really concerned about jobs in the economy he would be supporting our $2.5 billion jobs that's designed to continue to attract investment into this province that's made us number one in North America for foreign direct investment and Mr. Speaker that helps all sectors of our economy if he really cared about jobs in this province he'd be supporting our budget which invests $130 billion in infrastructure creating and supporting up to 100,000 jobs Mr. Speaker every single year Thank you Back to the minister Ontario's unemployment rate has been of the national average for over 90 months the government has managed to lose almost 50,000 private sector jobs last month alone our public services rely on a healthy private sector that generates wealth and prosperity but this government seems bent on driving our private sector out of Ontario Minister will you tackle the competitive issues that are forcing our private sector companies to move to the neighboring states and provinces or will you stand idly by as our skilled workforce languages in the unemployment line Mr. Speaker we've just brought forward a budget that totally focuses on creating jobs and building a stronger economy in stark contrast to that you just fought an election on a platform that does nothing but kill jobs across this province and I'm not just talking about the 100,000 jobs you directly wanted to kill I'm talking about the 500,000 jobs that you and your party would place at risk direct and indirect in our auto sector I'm talking about the 50,000 jobs Mr. Speaker that we are creating to our regional economic development funds and our partnerships with open techs Mr. Speaker and other companies like Cisco 50,000 jobs under you that would be gone I'm talking about the 30,000 clean energy jobs that you do not support in the clean energy economy that we would bring to an end Mr. Speaker if you add it all up they talked about a million jobs they're going to bring in Mr. Speaker they'd be putting a million jobs at risk Thank you a new question Mr. Speaker my question is to the premier a few days ago premier you claimed that a high speed rail link between London and Toronto was possible within a decade and yet high speed rail is mentioned nowhere in your budget no timelines, no funding nothing at all Mr. Speaker if the premier really intends to build high speed rail to London why isn't it mentioned anywhere in her budget Minister of Transportation Thanks very much Mr. Speaker and I thank the member from London for that question obviously high speed rail is very very important to our government it's very important to the people of London communities like Windsor and beyond I think it's important for everyone to understand that with almost $14 billion in new revenue tools that are provided for in the budget to fund transportation projects outside of the GTHA this the high speed rail project is one of the ones that we plan to pursue to help create jobs and help boost the economy outside sorry in the London area as you may know the government had undertaken a pre-feasibility study the Ministry of Transportation had done that work and we are working hard to work with all partners municipalities and everyone else in the system to develop an implementation plan that makes sense but this is why as we said throughout this week throughout the budget debate Speaker that it's very important for members particularly from those communities that will benefit greatly from the investment plan to make to support our budget work with us and get on with the projects thanks very much Supplementary Speaker there is no funding for high speed rail in the budget it's not even mentioned in your budget in fact the government has been silent and how it will pay for transportation priorities that are mentioned in the budget the government has only found half the money needed to pay for existing transportation promises not including magical high speed rail line how will the government make up the difference by selling public assets by cutting programs Mr. Speaker, Ontarians deserve the truth will the Premier finally admit she can't keep her promises and her government will deliver austerity not a high speed rail Thank you Minister Thanks very much and I do thank the member opposite again for that follow-up question I thought that I was fairly clear in my initial response regarding how very clearly our budget lays out a plan to make transportation and public transit investments right across the province of Ontario 29 billion dollars I've said that repeatedly since having the chance to serve in this particular capacity that includes up to 14 close to 14 billion dollars for transit and transportation infrastructure projects in areas outside of the GTHA which would of course include the community of London as I mentioned a second ago the Ministry of Transportation has undertaken a free feasibility study we are in the process of finalizing a business case and embarking on an environmental assessment I would ask the member opposite to again consider supporting the budget that I've introduced in this house it includes the funding for 14 billion dollars worth of projects which would benefit the people of London you should support this project Thank you when I stand you sit new question the member from Durham Mr. Speaker my question is for the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs Mr. Speaker this government has been investing in people investing in infrastructure and supporting an innovative and dynamic business environment we all recognize that a strong and vibrant Aboriginal communities strengthens Ontario culturally socially and economically Minister while we are making progress across many different areas can you please elaborate on how we have been helping to improve and create greater economic opportunities with the Aboriginal communities in Ontario Thank you Mr. Speaker we are active on many fronts creating opportunities for the private sector and the First Nations and Métis communities to participate in a meaningful way in our plan to grow Ontario's economy the 2014 budget if passed includes an Aboriginal economic development fund which includes an investment of 25 million dollars over three years the fund will support Aboriginal communities in the development of long-term economic strategies it will also provide grants for Aboriginal businesses and the fund province-wide regional skills training Mr. Speaker this government recognizes the importance of economic development for Aboriginal communities and wants to see meaningful employment and business development for all Aboriginal communities in Ontario very good Thank you Minister Mr. Speaker obviously this is a great investment both in helping people communities and businesses to create a more robust business environment Mr. Speaker the Aboriginal Aboriginal loan guarantee program was announced as part of the 2009 budget as a way to both enhance Aboriginal participation in Ontario infrastructure and to encourage forays into renewable green energy Mr. Speaker last week I joined the minister in a meeting with Chief Marsden of Alderville First Nation near my riding of Durham to hear an update on the Alderville solar project thanks to the loan guarantee program it is the province's first ground solar farm Holy First Nation committee Mr. Speaker through you to the minister what is the Ontario doing to ensure more communities can benefit from this program Thank you Mr. Speaker the 2014 budget of past would continue the Aboriginal loan guarantee program which was launched in 2009 to facilitate Aboriginal participation in renewable energy infrastructure projects to date the program has leveraged significant investments with 30 million in approved loan guarantees which have supported investments of eight communities representing over 10,000 First Nations people in four projects that have invested parlayed the investment into a total of $2.8 billion for the province I did have the pleasure last week to meet with Chief Marsden of Alderville First Nation along with the member for Durham and I'm happy to say that one of the four projects include the recently approved loan guarantee that will support a portion of the Alderville First Nations equity investment in the Alderville Solar Project making it the first 100% Aboriginal-owned solar project in Ontario the guarantee works to the benefit of all Thank you New question, the member from Simcoe North Mr. Speaker Bernie Fishbean worked as an advocate for the Electricians Union including them in over 60 separate legal cases over the past 20 years Despite this obvious conflict of interest your College of Trade saw fit to appoint him as chair of the Electricians' Racial Review panel where he went on to choose recommend the racial proposed by the union that employed him for 20 years Minister, it is unbelievable that you have accepted this conflict of interest and done nothing about it and Mr. Speaker yesterday the minister told the House he was going to appoint an advisor to review the boondoggle Mr. Speaker in spite of his clear conflict of interest and in spite of his ongoing judicial review and his bias Bernie Fishbean is apparently be considered for this job a whole review of the College of Trade So to the minister will you be appointing this long time paid advocate of the Electricians' Union Bernie Fishbean to be your advisor to the planned review of the Ontario College of Trade Thank you Mr. Speaker I want to thank the member opposite for that question the College of Trade has been doing a great job since it started its operation just about a year ago we created this college because we believe that Mr. Speaker the trade people they are the people who can decide on their own profession that's why we have created the College of Trade not only that Mr. Speaker to raise the profile of the trade people because we believe that Electricians' mechanics and other professionals and other trade people they have the same right as doctors dentists and the teachers and others to regulate their own profession that's why we have created the College of Trade and they have been doing great job Mr. Speaker since they started their operation about a year ago Mr. Speaker in the past 14-15 months since their operation they have reviewed 33 professions 32 trades and they have reduced ratios in 14 of them Mr. Speaker so I'll address the question the second part Mr. Speaker Thank you Well you didn't address the first part of the question so first of all let's correct the record under fish beans biased recommendation Ontario raised apprenticeship ratios for the Electricians trade from 3-1 to 6-1 that is more than double they got exactly what the union wanted second the College of Trades is a boondoggle it's not you have to know that no one likes it after all this so special interest groups are running the place they're restricting competition and are raising the cost of hiring trades people for Ontario companies also in fact young interiors are leaving to take apprenticeships in other provinces so to the minister have you had any discussions with special interest groups regarding the appointment of this advisor Mr. Bernie Fishman to the Ontario College of Trades Minister what deals have you made regarding Bernie fish beans appointment Thank you Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker the College of Trades as I said has been doing a great job and in relation to the conflict of interest the member referring to it the cases before the course so I'm not going to comment on that Mr. Speaker but you know Mr. Speaker since we created the College of Trades for the past many many years when the members opposite his party was in office they never reviewed any single professions the ratios they never did it but the College of Trade within just 40-50 months since its operation they reviewed the ratios in 33 professions Mr. Speaker and they reduced the ratios in 14 of them so they have been doing a great job Mr. Speaker and this is for the first time in the history of this province that we have a regular college for trades people and they actually love to have this college Mr. Speaker they want to have the college they want to decide on their own profession that's why we have created the college and trades people they like the college in contrast to what the member opposite claimed thank you Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker thank you Mr. Speaker good morning to you my question is to the Minister of Labour yesterday the members of this legislature rose for a moment of silence for a minor Pascal Goulet 38 leaving behind his spouse and two daughters killed tragically last Thursday at his job at North American Palladium unfortunately Mr. Goulet is the 7th minor killed on the job this year in Ontario one death is too many but 7 is an outrage minors and their families have a right to expect that they'll come home safe at the end of their shift what will this minister do today to ensure that not one more minor is killed in this province and that their workplaces are safe thank you Mr. Speaker thank you Mr. Speaker I do thank the Honourable Member for that very very important question I'm here of the incident as all of us were around the house and my thoughts are with this person's family and the colleagues that he was working with I understand that we have the Ministry of Labour inspectors on the site investigating the Ministry's priority in this regard is to ensure that the Occupational Health and Safety Act is followed and enforced the investigation is ongoing Speaker as you know it would be inappropriate for me to comment on a specific circumstances related to this incident I will tell you though that this government is committed to protecting the health and safety of minors and all work is in Ontario we're leading right now our Chief Prevention Officer is leading a comprehensive mining safety review it's got an external group of industry labour and health and safety reps and it's a year long review I look forward to those findings and Speaker to answer the question specifically I look forward to acting upon those findings thank you thank you thank you Speaker again to the Minister of Labour last year the Premier rejected an inquiry into mining deaths and instead chose to review health and safety but at the very first public hearings the government didn't even advertise to invite participants so while we eagerly await the review's findings minors in this province continue to die based on the Westray law and supported by the United Steel Workers across this country Nova Scotia recently decided to create a special prosecutor to enforce workplace safety standards will the Minister act today on the appalling seven mining industry deaths this year and create a special prosecutor to enforce workplace safety standards in the province of Ontario thank you Minister thank you Speaker as the previous questioner noted one death is too many seven is not good one is not good Speaker between March and June of this year we've had 12 public consultation dates we've been to Timmins we've been to Kirkland Lake we've been to Sudbury, Red Lake, Marathon London to ensure that the mining sector itself and that's from Labour and business safety representatives are able to provide input into the mining review this is a review that we intend on acting upon obviously Speaker once we've heard from everybody over 150 people today to participate in these public meetings we've got over 60 written submissions we're working very very hard with the Chief Prevention Officer as I said Speaker I look forward to the findings when those findings are in we intend to act upon those findings Minister of Finance on a point of order Speaker we have young people who participate in politics it's always nice to acknowledge interns who show up and want to do this and I'd like to acknowledge Ashish Oberoro and Sean Chuck who are here today as interns participating in the political process we have a deferred vote on the motion that this House approves in
