Are you saying plants don't have brains or insects don't have brains? You don't have to keep going. I'm not a student. My brother, this is hilarious. But no, it's not hilarious.  What do you mean? Are you a troll? Is he mucking around?  For the same reason I wouldn't eat you? You're not answering the question. I did ask it. For the same reason I would eat you, your conscious being who has their own experience and I shouldn't be able to dictate when I can rob that experience from you. So consciousness is the test? Sentience, yeah, consciousness. They are under the banner. Animals do not have consciousness. Got evidence for that, mate? Yes. Okay, they have a brain. What does a brain do? A brain does a lot of things. Does it generate consciousness? No, it doesn't. Where does consciousness come from? Well, consciousness is... Where does your consciousness come from? A consciousness... Well, all right, so now we're getting into... Where does yours come from? All right, I'll try and answer it. Now we're getting into religious aspects. So I believe that we are made in the image of God and in the likeness of God and consciousness comes from God. God gave us the consciousness to discern between good and evil. Are you going to give animals consciousness? No, he didn't. So we gave him brains to do nothing? Sounds pretty... Not nothing. They are living beings. Okay, so... So with plants? I didn't care about that. You're exactly where I'm going. Exactly where I'm going. Okay. So I... Why should I care about animals? As I understand vegans, I'm not talking about you, vegans don't eat animals because they're living beings. No. Did I say that to you when you asked me why? I think... Well, you didn't answer the question. I did answer the question. I said because... For the same reason I wouldn't eat you and I said because you're conscious and sentient to have an experience. Conscious as in almost self-aware? I did not say because you are living. Exactly. So you're saying... What do you mean exactly?  But we... Plants. Well, okay, so it's a loaded question. You are saying that animals have a conscience. Not a conscience. They're self-aware. Consciousness. Yeah, consciousness. You don't have to be self-aware to be sentient. But you're saying they're self-aware. I'm saying... Well, self-awareness is an aspect of sentience but it doesn't have to be... You don't have to be self-aware to be sentient. How do you know they have consciousness? Consciousness? Yes. Because we can infer it. How do I know you do it? They're living. How do I know you do it? Well, we are very different from animals. We... You have a brain? We think exactly. We have an intellect. We have free will. Where does your thinking come from? Okay, so thinking comes from a number of faces. Your soul. Okay, you have a soul. Yes, you have a soul. You have evidence of a soul? You have an eye, yes. There is evidence of a soul. Where? But... Show me. Well, certain things... There are different ways of proving different things. Okay? So... Prove to me you have a soul. Proving... Proving whether somebody has a soul is a different aspect. No, no, no, no. What I'm trying to say is that... No, no, no. Don't change your subject. Prove to me you have a soul. All right. You want proof that there's evidence of a soul. Okay. Soul is defined as that thing that gives life to the body. Without a soul, the body dies. So animals have a soul? They do have a soul. Okay. But not the same soul that we have. I don't... That's not strong enough evidence because you're saying it, by the way. Exactly, yes, yes. I mean, I've got evidence animals are conscious and sentient because they have a brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but... Well, no, that's not... And you're saying no, they're not because God didn't give them consciousness. No. You don't have evidence for God either. So you're using one more in different... In very different meanings, okay? They're alive, okay? Whether they are self-aware... I think that's how you're using the word consciousness. I've never said the word self-aware. You said that. So what do you mean by consciousness? So you're sentient. See this experience you're having right now where you can see and you can feel and you have senses? Okay. All right, so the senses deceive you. The way you perceive the life, the world around you is not the way it really is, okay? Really? Yes, it is. There is evidence, that's something else. We only perceive a spectrum of the life. So how does that prove animals aren't sentient? Well, wait, no, you're supposed to prove, okay?   What I'm trying to say is that the senses deceive you. All right, I just want to hold on this point. So you perceive the burden of proof from someone who says God gave animals no consciousness, human consciousness. So consciousness, are you using that? And you're talking about the burden of proof right now? Are you talking in the sense of self-awareness? The burden of proof is an atheist concept, you know that, right? No, no, no, no, no, it's not. It's a legal. It's popularized by atheists. It's illegal, no, no. Because they use it against religious people who believe God exists without no proof. No, no, it's a legal concept who bears the burden of proof or proving something. And I can infer it based on them having a brain, then react just because they have a brain. Okay, so insects have brains, insects have brains. Some insects do, yes, some insects do. Exactly, does that mean they have consciousness? Trivially, yes. Do they? Do they really? Yeah, but what do you mean? Do they really, there's science to prove to them? There's science to prove they have consciousness? Well, these? Just because, what is a brain? It's a CPU. It's just, it's a function. Centralized nervous system. Exactly, that's what a brain is. Just because you have a brain doesn't mean you have a, does a computer have, if it has a central processing unit? They're not sentient computers, they're intelligent like plants, but they're not sentient like plants. They're not intelligent. Okay, plants. Plants have intelligence. Are you saying plants don't have brains? Or insects don't have brains? Okay, maybe.  What am I trying to get to? I mean, all right, what am I trying to get to? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that, I think? You just asked me, do plants have brains? And I'm supposed to take it seriously. Okay, insects, insects. Do insects have brains? Exactly. And are you saying, are you saying just because you have a brain, you're self aware? I never said self aware. You're saying this self aware thing. Well, you're not answering the question. Okay, I said because I have brains. Sentients and consciousness. Okay, well, not sentient. I'm saying the brain. You're saying the brain, if you have a brain, you have consciousness. Is that what you're saying? We can infer that. That's a fallacy. I can't prove that. That's a fallacy. I can't, no, because he can be brain dead and not have consciousness and have a brain. I can, exactly. I can easily bring you, give you an example where an insect has a brain but doesn't, doesn't have consciousness. Show me, are you using science to prove that? I'm using science to prove that. Where's your burden of proof? All right. Well, I'm saying just because somebody has a brain or something has a brain doesn't mean that it has a consciousness. Of course, two things can be separate. Yeah, exactly. Like, you can be acting like it.  Listen, listen, listen. I'm happy when we agree that just because you have a brain doesn't mean you have consciousness. Agreed? Yeah. Yeah, I agree. These people here have brains. Okay. But their behaviors show that they're also experiencing the world subjectively. Yes. Animals, also, so when a dog cuddles up to their owner or wants to go for a walk. Does it mean it has consciousness? It means it has, it's a living being. So you don't think dogs are conscious? I don't know whether they're conscious and the whether you mean that they're conscious. I'm talking about self-awareness. No, no, I'm not talking about self-awareness. Well, that's what self-awareness means. Because people, there are certainly people. Conscious means, no, it doesn't, though. It means conscious means I am self-aware that I exist. We're debating over something where the Exactly, the terminology. Exactly. You think self-awareness is consciousness? No, but what do you mean by consciousness? So not conscience, but consciousness. I already explained to you what I mean. No, what do you mean? You're using the word without explaining it. It's like saying a lot of word and then I'm saying what's the meaning of the word and you're saying, Are you going to listen to me? Because I already told you.  You are not defining the word. I did. How do you do it? If I say chair and I'm in table. You don't have to keep going.  I'm interested. Listen, listen. Okay. Just calm down for a second. Just relax. Let me, let me and listen. When I say consciousness or sentience, right? I'm talking about, I'm telling you what I mean by that word. So it could be purple. What I mean by purple. All right. What I mean by sentience is there is a subject, right? And they are experiencing the world. They feel through their senses. They can perceive the world around them. Yeah. That's what I mean by sentience. So are you clear about what I mean by sentience? That's why. Did you hear what I said? Repeat what I said back to me. You're sad. You're sad. They can experience the world. I am listening to you. But I can easily give you counter example. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. There's a subject involved. Yes. With sentience. Insects. Yeah. They can feel and perceive things. Insects. Which is a level of sentience. Insects do that. I'm talking about sentience, not insects. Because not all insects are sentient. Right? Exactly. Okay. Exactly. But we're sharing features here. Okay. I'm giving you a counter example. They can experience the world around them. They can usually use their eyes and they can perceive insects to do that. So. Insects do that. There's some insects are sentient. But do all, do some, is there an insect? That's that. Yeah. So what's your point? I'm saying animals are. You're really going to really prove it. I'm talking about geese. I'm talking about koalas. You are inferring that they have consciousness. Is a koala sentient? But you're not really answering the question of why you don't eat animals. I did.  Well, they're not like me. They don't have free will. They don't have the intellect of me. I said they are sentient. They have. In a similar way to human beings. So you don't eat animals because you're saying that they have similar features as humans. Let me just say to you. I think it's wrong to rob an animal of their sentience for taste pleasure. Of their life? Of their life and sentience.  But it doesn't matter if you have a life but you're not sentient. You're saying. It doesn't matter if you have a life and you are not sentient. I think what you're trying to say. Well, lives don't matter. Sentient beings matter. And I think what you're trying to say, you don't want to rob an animal of their life. Provided they are sentient. Why is there such a distinction? Because that plant is alive. But I don't care about it. Exactly what I'm trying to say. No, but you're trying to. I think videos are saying that to say. No, no, let's try them. I don't care about oysters. I would eat a koala. Would you? No, I'm joking. I wouldn't. Koalas are science. What do you eat? Other animals, like turkeys. What, like Christmas turkey? Yeah, yeah.   Yeah, yeah, yeah. Christmas turkey? No, actually I don't. So what do you eat? What animals do you eat? I eat a fish. You eat a fish? That's all you eat, a fish? Yeah, a fish. It's one fish you've eaten in your life. Smoked eggs, innit? It's an unlucky fish. It's an unlucky fish. I know, I know. No! All right, so, as sentient... You're not listening to me. I can't have a productive conversation. You're trying to corner me with this life thing. No, you're not interested. I don't care about life. So, as sentient... I care about sentience. All right. I told you what I care about. I explained what sentience is. You're not listening. A sentient is able to perceive or feel things, okay? That's one branch of sentience. Well, that's... Sentience and consciousness are under the same banner. I told you what I mean by these words. So, you ask me what I mean by them, okay? Okay, all right. What I'm trying to say is that just because something is a sentient is able to perceive and feel things doesn't mean that it has consciousness. Consciousness is a very specific word. How do you feel something without recognizing that you felt it? Pain receptors. How do you feel pain if there's no consciousness being listened? Let me finish. Yeah. How do you feel pain if there's no consciousness being to experience that pain? How can you feel anything? Well, because consciousness is a very different aspect. Consciousness really does mean that you're self-aware of your existence.  But you're in the world and you're aware of the world. All right, all right. So, okay, okay. Not aware of yourself, necessarily. Even awareness doesn't come through senses. So, your eyes tell you... You can't be aware and not have any sense. You can. No, you can have senses and you can have pain receptors. How do you experience those things without consciousness? Yeah, you can experience it, but it's just consciousness is very... My brother, this is hilarious. But no, it's not hilarious. It's just, this is where you're tripping. You're saying that animals basically have consciousness. But consciousness is self-awareness, just because you have senses. You're growing up the entire body of science right now. It's hilarious. But that's not science. This is consensus. But there is no... Have you heard of their declaration? No, no, they have a sentence. Have you heard of the declaration of consciousness I understand. I agree with you. No, no, no. Let's go. Because you're going up against them. Yeah, because look, the definition is... Ask your question. Are animals sentient? No, no, they are sentient. But I'm not denying that. Just look at it. Yes, you are. You just denied it, bro. No, no, no. You denied it at the start where animals are sentient, didn't you? No, no, no. I'm not denying that. I'm denying that just because they're sentient, they have a conscience. Or they're conscious. I'm using consciousness and sentience interchangeably. Exactly. I think that's where the... What do you mean? You're following me like exactly. That's where the fallacy lies. Oh, God, this is hilarious. Just because an animal is sentient doesn't follow that they're conscious. In the 2012, the Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness crystallized the scientific consensus that humans are not the only conscious beings and the non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures including octopuses, possess neurological substrate, conflicts enough to support consciousness. So you're going up against scientific consensus. No, but you can also say... And what was your argument? God bestowed humans with... One sec.  Even though they gave animals brains, they gave animals sensors, animals feel pain. You're against... Are you against animal cruelty? We're using... Are you against animal cruelty? Yes, I am. Why? They're not conscious. I am also against... They're not conscious. Who cares? Land cruelty. They're not conscious. Who cares? So why do you eat a plant? You can't be cruel to a plant. It doesn't have a brain. Well, it's just what the fallacy lies. You're saying we're allowed to eat a plant. You can't be cruel to a plant. Okay, don't interrupt. Don't interrupt. Don't interrupt. You can't be cruel to a plant because they don't have a brain. They don't have consciousness. They don't have sentience. Don't interrupt. Don't interrupt. Listen to me first, okay? So your argument is that you're distinguishing between living organisms. Yes. Yeah. Sentience ones and non-sentience ones. Okay. And this is where the fallacy lies. You're basically saying, I deny the fact that because insects can feel things and they perceive... I never denied some of the sentience. Exactly. They perceive things through their senses as well and they feel pain. But you're saying... Some, but not they. You're talking about 10 million insects. Exactly, not all. It's a complex issue. You're saying even though they are sentience, some of them, some, they still don't have consciousness. And when is the distinction? So can I agree with you? Can I say that? All right. We've got this... You know this is recording, right? All right. Can I agree with you? All right, okay. Everything you're saying has been recorded. Nothing. Okay, beautiful. So you're going to... I'm going to replay what he said. You're like in court. Okay. So do you agree that certain insects are sentience? The ones we definitely know of, yes. Yes. That's perfect. Do you agree that by your definition, if it's a sentient, it has consciousness? Those... I use those two words interchangeably. I'm asking you, yes? Oh, no. Excuse me. I use those two words interchangeably. Perfect. Sentience and consciousness. I just told you... Yep. Those two words, I use them interchangeably. It's the same thing. Thumbs up. When I say sentient, I mean conscious. So why do you eat certain insects that are sentience and have consciousness? What do you mean? By your definition, you said certain insects have sentience and have consciousness.  I don't eat insects. Why do you... I'm asking you a question again. Those insects... I don't eat insects. Or those insects... I don't eat insects. Well, why do some vegans do? What's the distinction? Why do you distinguish between animals? See, vegans eat insects. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. Which reason? In Japan. They eat insects. Vegans eat insects. Yes, they do. This is... Yes, they do because they don't feel it's an animal.  I just told you... Exactly. Yeah? Exactly. So why do you eat certain insects? I don't eat insects. Oh, you don't first. I'm talking about vegans. Are you a troll? I'm talking about vegans. Are you a troll? But do you understand the fallacy? So I'm just asking you, are you a troll? You understand the fallacy. Is he mucking around? What I'm trying... I just beat him. No, no, no. Are you a troll? I just beat you. He's taking a piss, isn't he? Is he serious? No, I'm just saying, is he serious because I really don't know if you're... What's the distinction between animal, insects and animals? No, I can't take you seriously, man. I do. No, no, no. That's all right, brother. Don't worry about it. I mean, he was taking a piss, though. God, that was weird, dude. No, I can't tell if you're serious. Go home and think about it. Go home and think about it. If you're serious... Insects? I don't eat them, so I know you do. I just want to say hi. Hello. Hey, how are you? Brother, I can't take you seriously, man. No, we've got enough content from you, brother. What have you done?


The fine light of business is a member's business debate on motion 12252 in the name of Ruth Maguire on the Citizen Girl initiative. The debate will be concluded without any questions being put. Can I ask those members who wish to speak in the debate to press their request to speak buttons now and I call on Ruth Maguire to open the debate. Ms Maguire, please. Presiding Officer, it's a pleasure to have time in the chamber this evening to debate Girlguiding Scotland and Women 5050's Citizen Girl campaign. I thank all the members who signed the motion to make that possible and look forward to hearing contributions from across the chamber. I'd like to acknowledge some visitors in the gallery. We have Caroline and Talot from the 5050 campaign and along with Mari we have Girlguiding representatives from Edinburgh, from Stirling, from Graham D's constituency in Angus. We have Girlguiding representatives from Queensferry and Girlguiding young spokeswomen.  You're powerful and you're important and your voices, ideas and opinions matter. Citizen Girl is a campaign led by two fantastic partners and champions of girls and women, Girlguiding Scotland and the 5050 campaign. In this year of young people and 100th year since the first women got the vote, Citizen Girl is about ensuring that the 50,000 or so girlguides in Scotland know that their voices matter and know how they can speak up, how they can campaign and how they can take action on things that are important to them. Citizen Girl is also about calling for real and meaningful change to ensure that today's girls and women can look forward to a more equal future. Research from Girlguiding Girls Attitude Survey 2018 backs up why this campaign is important by highlighting the impact a lack of female representation has on the views and experiences of girls and young women. 57 per cent of girls aged 11 to 21 don't think politicians understand the issues that are facing them today, and 53 per cent think that political parties should make sure that half of their politicians are women. To tackle underrepresentation in politics, at the same time as dismantling structural barriers in their way, we need girls to see that politics is for them. We have a woman as First Minister and a female Prime Minister, but there's no getting away from the fact that women remain stubbornly underrepresented in politics and in public life. Women make up 52 per cent of the population, but only 35 per cent of MSPs, 25 per cent of local councillors and 16 per cent of council leaders. It's fair to say that there still aren't enough of us in the room, and it's really hard to be what you can't see. For those of us who are here, we have to do everything in our power to remedy that. It's not enough just to get here ourselves. We have to take the lead, and we have to be powerful, persuasive, tenacious and strong advocates for change in this chamber, in our own political parties and in our communities. Women and girls, and in particular I think young women and girls, face sexism and objectification at frankly horrific levels these days. Even our First Minister and Prime Minister don't escape that. At a time when they were meeting to negotiate significant important business to our countries, a newspaper thought that it was okay to run a front page splash, focusing on their legs, not their views, not their political positions, but a part of their body. That sends a really poor message to young women and girls. I think things are actually worse than when I was a young woman, not better. In 2018, when we were making such strides to equality, it was completely unacceptable. The online abuse faced by any woman who puts her head above the parapet can also seem quite terrifying, and I can understand why that would be off-putting for many. It's designed to keep you down, to make you feel unimportant, and like you have no business in politics. I know first hand that it's not always easy, but girls, we can't let them win. Simply we mustn't accept it. Block, mute, unfollow, unfriend. Your voice is too important to be silenced. Here's the good news though. If you surround yourself with brilliant friends, with supporters, with allies, with people who value you even if they disagree with you, if you find a mentor and learn from them and they'll learn from you too, you will do it, and each time you speak out it gets a little less scary, and the voices of folk who would do you down feel a little less important. Stick together and you will be unstoppable. Presiding officer, in closing, I'd like to remind colleagues whether they are contributing to the debate tonight or not of a couple of ways that they can get involved. Parliamentarians and councillors can show their support by doing something that I know we all love doing, taking a photo of themselves, taking a selfie, with the Citizen Girl sign and endorsing the campaign online through their social media channels. I know that girl guiding Scotland members in their constituency would be delighted to meet them and to show some of the great work that's going on. I understand that Daniel Johnston has experienced that and received a gift of a pink cape, which I was quite intrigued to learn about. I've not seen him wear it yet, but those are the sort of things that he can experience. On the centenary of some women getting the vote this year of the young people, 50,000 girls and young women growing in confidence, reaching for the stars, having fun and being a powerful force for good seems just about perfect for me. I'll say it again, Presiding Officer. Politics is for you. Your voices are important. Go for it girls. You'll be awesome. Thank you. As always, I gently say to those in the public gallery that applause, although I understand why you're doing it, is not permitted from the public area. I now call on Ash Denham to be followed by Alison Harris. Ms Denham, please. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I'd like to start my contribution to this debate by thanking Ruth Maguire for securing time in the chamber today to debate this really important initiative. A full disclosure, I was never a girl guide. I was a brownie, but not a girl guide. I remember—it's quite a long time ago now, and I don't remember very much about it, but I do remember sewing the badges onto my uniform when I achieved a new badge, which I always found very exciting. I remember going away to camp as well, but that's about all that I can remember. Through the brownies and through girl guiding, whichever you've been a part of, girls are enabled in learning and working together to develop skills and to grow their independence, which is obviously always a good thing. The story of the girl guides illustrates this very well. Gate crashing, the first rally of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts demanded something for the girls, refusing to believe that scouting was just for boys. Out of that direct and collective action, the girl guides were established. We can also look close to here, Edinburgh, quite a while ago now, though, the Edinburgh 7 trailblazers for the rights of women to practice medicine. That was in the 1870s, and their campaign resulted in legislation that allowed women to qualify as doctors in the UK and in Ireland. As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first women gaining the right to vote, we can see both how far we've come in that time, but we can also recognise, I think, how much we still have to do. A more recent example of things that the girl guides have been doing was that they supported the campaign to end page 3, which finally, through pressure, came to an end in 2015. That's why I'm delighted to see the Citizen Girl initiative encouraging girls and young women to use their voices to enact change in Scotland, to encourage them to become directly involved in changing the world around them, encouraging them to know their place—indeed, a place in the science lab, a place in the editorial office, the boardroom or perhaps especially a place in this chamber. By telling girls and young women that their places wherever they want it to be can sometimes ring a little bit hollow when this chamber, in 2018, is still only 35 per cent female. That's why I think it's crucial that all political parties commit to a 50-50 split for candidates that they stand in elections. Some people here may know, but the SNP brought in gender balancing mechanisms for candidates for the 2016 elections. It certainly wasn't universally accepted. There were many people in the party who didn't think that it was a good idea, but I think that the results certainly speak for themselves. The SNP group in the chamber went from 27 per cent female to 42 per cent female. That is a huge step forward and it shows that those measures really work. I would encourage any parties that are in this chamber who don't currently have any gender balancing mechanisms to really look at this and consider it. I think that that's a matter of urgency. In closing, I note that the girl guys, one of their aims is to build confidence in girls and to raise expectations. As someone who felt lacking in confidence at times when I was a girl and also when I was a young woman and I just share this in case it's helpful to anyone else, I've learned that confidence comes through doing. So join that club, join that political party, say yes to giving that speech, run for election in student politics and yes giving that first speech is really scary, but the next time it gets that little bit easier and so on and so on, confidence builds up. So I would congratulate girl guides and women 50-50 on the Citizen Girl initiative and I look forward very much to seeing what you will achieve together. It's my pleasure to speak in this evening's debate and when you think 100 years after some women were first given the right to vote and stand for election, we are still underrepresented in many areas of our political and business life. The number of women serving on our councils and in our two parliaments is still far below the equal balance that we should all be seeking to aspire to and I join others in welcoming any initiative that highlights that politics needs more women and especially young women. So Deputy Presiding Officer, it is particularly good that tonight we are celebrating the Citizen Girl initiative. Good and also very appropriate that in this year of young people, one of our largest and most respected young persons organisations, Girl Guiding Scotland, is highlighting the empowerment of women to show that the voice of a young woman does matter and to encourage them to use that voice in all walks of life. Young people are the future of our country and of course we need to encourage every person to play a part in civic life, but we do have to acknowledge that with women and young women in particular, there are still unnecessary hurdles, real and perceived, that are still waiting to be removed and this initiative will play a part in that. Despite the fact that we have had two female Prime Ministers and currently two women serving in this Parliament as both First Minister and Leader of the Opposition, it is obvious that work still needs to be done to bring more women into public life. Political parties may have different approaches on the best way to achieve this and we may disagree in some areas, but one thing that we are united on is the belief that a Parliament needs to look at the country that it represents and hence the balance of genders in both our Parliaments is something that we need to strive for. Within my own party we welcome the launch of Women to Win and they are leading the campaign to elect more conservative women to Parliament. Women to Win aims to increase the number of conservative women in Parliament and in public life and is committed to identifying, training and mentoring female candidates for office. As MSPs we regularly go into schools and discuss politics. We tell the pupils about how it is to be an MSP, we answer questions, but those questions often reveal the perception and stereotyping that this initiative sets out to challenge. So whilst we can all play our own part in convincing others to follow in our tracks, it is great to have an organisation such as Girlguiding trumpeting the same message that whether in politics, business, the media, opportunities are there for women to play an important role and to make their mark. Opportunities for them to learn to play a part not only in political life but in business and the media as well. We need to encourage more young women to realise their own potential. Women remain underrepresented in senior management roles and on the boards of public companies, but only 28 per cent of board positions of the FTSE 100 companies are women. Whilst there has been an improvement over the years, there is obviously still much more needing to be done. Though never complacent, I want to finish on a positive note. In 1998, Mary Pitcaithley became the first woman to hold the post of chief executive of a Scottish local authority. That local authority was actually my own constituency of Falkirk. This month, over two decades after she blazed the trail for women at the top level of government, Mary retires from that post. However, she leaves knowing that, amongst the ranks of the chief executives of Scottish councils, there is almost an equal gender split. I would like to congratulate Girlguiding Scotland on their campaign and my colleague Ruth Maguire for bringing the debate forward tonight. I thank you very much. I would also like to congratulate Ruth Maguire on bringing forward the debate, and I would like to pay tribute to Girlguiding Scotland and Women 5050 for starting the Citizen Girl campaign. It is very important that we encourage girls to put themselves forward to become future leaders. While our society instinctively does that with boys, girls are often left behind. We legislate for equality, but we also need to understand that societal norms still promote inequality on their deeply ingrained. From a young age, girls are given messages about being homemakers, mothers and carers. We just need to look at children's toys. The next time that you are in a shop, take a look at the toys that are meant for boys. There will be the blue ones, and toys meant for girls. There will be the pink ones, and see how we brainwash children on to taking those roles. I have struggled trying to buy toys that do not gender stereotype children, and that surely cannot be right. It needs to stop. How can we say to girls that they can be leaders when everything else they see and hear tells them that they cannot? To counteract that, we need to empower girls, and that is what the campaign is doing. While they have their work cut out, given the societal stereotyping that tells girls that leadership roles are not for them, the activities that Citizen Girl is carrying out will help to build leaders for the future. Learning about politics, how they can become legislators and politicians, meeting with councillors, MSPs and MPs. While working to empower girls, the campaign also calls on change from today's leaders. It calls on political parties to put forward a list of candidates that are gender balanced. I am proud that the Scottish Labour Party is gender balanced in this Parliament, but that has taken positive action on our part to do this. The campaign also calls on politicians to ensure that young people are consulted on decisions impacting on them. I would argue that young people should be consulted more widely than that, because they will inherit what we have put in place. While they may lack life experience, they should have a say on the direction of travel. That lack of knowledge and life experience can often make young people idealistic, but sometimes we lack that in modern-day politics. We need to aspire as much as we need to manage. The campaign also calls for increased female representation in all walks of life. If female representation is increased, it will give girls role models, not just in politics but in everyday career choices. There should be no barriers to what a girl or a woman can aspire to. Girls need role models to be able to see themselves and own the role as leaders go forward. If all they see is men in suits, they immediately discount that role for themselves. They do not identify themselves with that person. In the girl guide and briefing for this debate, the one thing that really struck me as the most devastating was the information that, at the age of between 7 and 10, 86 per cent of girls thought that they could be successful in their chosen career. That fell to 35 per cent between the ages of 17 and 21, the group believing that employers preferred to hire men. What on earth happens to girls as they grow up? Why do young girls have the ambition and outlook, and why is that destroyed? Is that the reality that they face? Our aim must be to ensure that opportunities are there for girls to be what they want to be. They should be encouraged as they get older, not discouraged. That, I believe, is a task for us all. I am glad that girl guiding and women 5050 have taken that on. I hope that they will continue to work with young girls and with today's leaders to make sure that we really do change the world for girls and the next generation of women. I thank Ruth Maguire for securing this debate. For full disclosure, I was a brownie, I was also a former girl guide, but as it was only yesterday, I remember it very well indeed. I am also a proud co-founder of women 5050 and part of the campaign to increase the representation of women in political life. I have said it before and I will say it again as a councillor in Edinburgh and as an MSP representing Lothian. It is notable that, when schools, nurseries and hospitals are under threat, when there are big issues to be debated, my surgeries and meetings are full of women—absolutely full of women, often the majority are women—but when it comes to making votes, where are the women? They are absent in this chamber, they are absent across our town halls in the numbers that they should be there in. We have got to take action. I am really so proud that women 5050 have linked up with girl guiding Scotland. I just really wish that this had been an initiative that was available when I was a girl guide. I did not get involved in politics until my 30s. I think that this is something that will help young women to engage in and will give them the courage and confidence to do so. I should say that, in my first ever council meeting, I will always remember that a senior male councillor referred across the chamber to a senior woman councillor as a fishwife. That would be absolutely unacceptable today, so changes are under way but, in no doubt, that change is due to the campaigning that has been going on in recent days. That is an important step in the right direction. The girl guiding girls attitude survey shows us exactly why the citizen girl initiative matters. More than half of girls and young women feel that gender stereotypes have a limiting effect on the activities that they can do now and how they can express themselves. They feel the influence of those stereotypes in most areas of their lives, from teachers' beliefs and expectations to messages in the media. I should say that one of the least pleasant experiences that I have had on social media was when I dared to speak in the no more page 3 debate. It is important that we continue to challenge those who would like us to be quiet and speak up loudly. 57 per cent of girls and young women who are aged 11 to 21 do not think that politicians understand the issues that are facing them today. It is clear that we have to get better at listening and make sure that we are engaging fully. Citizen girl helps girls and young women to learn about the political process, to help to amplify their voices and realise how they can make changes happen. As part of this, one of the outcomes that Citizen girl is calling for is for politicians at all levels to consult with young people on all the decisions that impact their lives. It is fair to say that we do not do that well enough. The year of young people in Scotland should be a real impetus to change that and make sure that we incorporate young people's perspectives from all backgrounds in the decisions that we take. I think that the resources that are developed for the Citizen girl initiative give young people a great starting point in understanding what the responsibilities of councillors, MSPs and MPs are and the kind of issues that they can help with and actions that young people can take from sending an email to starting a petition, organising events, raising funds for a cause that they believe in. There is no substitute for political engagement and I am delighted to support this campaign, which encourages young women and girls to become directly involved in politics. To really change the conversations that we are having about representation of women in society, we have to think about what opportunities women have to develop careers in the media or even to be as represented as an expert in the media because the media influences the debate. Last year, the BBC launched its expert women initiative, looking for women who would like to contribute to news content as experts. That acknowledged that the vast majority of voices that we hear on the radio and TV are male, and in some ways it is a welcome step to redress that balance. However, the initiative was criticised and rightly, in my view, because it required interested women to submit a CV and a short film showing them present on their area of expertise. To pitch an idea for a story, the general public would find interesting. Why should women and not men be required to prove their expertise in this way? Why is their specialist knowledge in doubt until proven? Why should interested women have to do so much unpaid labour to generate contacts for media organisations? A real bugbear of mine is the absolute lack of visibility of women in sport. Look at the back pages of your newspaper today. You will be hard pressed to find a woman in there. You might if she is some sportsman's girlfriend, but we must do better. I met a newspaper to discuss the lack of coverage of women sports role models. I was asked to do that very same thing. Could I contact them when I had details of a successful woman or pitch a story to them? Do we really think that that happens with male sports events and efforts? In many cases, those achievements of women are at a higher level. I know that you would like me to close. I am pleased to do so. I very much hope that citizen girl initiatives like it fill young women with the confidence to act on the issues that they care about now and to play an ever-fooler part in public life as they grow older. If I had more time, you could have gone on for 10 minutes, but I don't. I call Gillian Martin to be followed by Rachael Hamilton. Ms Hamilton will be the last speaker in the open debate. Ms Martin, please. Thank you to Ruth Maguire for getting this debate into the chamber. The girl guides have certainly come a long way. Last night, as I was thinking about this debate, I had a wee smile to myself as I thought about the badges that were sewn on to my guide uniform. I remembered one with a picture of an iron on it, which was the laundry badge. I was not a girl guide in the Victorian era. It was only in the 1980s. I was taught how to wash an iron clothes. Do not get me wrong, I have used those skills, and I still know how to get chewing gum off a jumper. Despite the wry smile that I had about thinking about that quite old-fashioned achievement that I did with the girl guides, I gave myself a bit of a telling off. I remember how empowering the guides have always been and how being a girl guide for seven years empowered me. It was obvious that they should join with women 50-50 in leading the charge for the empowerment of the next generation of female representatives. The girl guides taught me how to be independent, how to lead a group of other girls and take responsibility for them. Most memorably, they taught the girl to be formally quiet and shy—yes, I was a formally quiet and shy girl—to use her voice without fear because that voice was always there. It just needed the right conditions to come out. My parents still tell the story of how open-mouthed they were to turn up at the first Nubilla guide concert, not to find their awkward shy girl at the back dressed as a tree or something, but as an exuberant, confident MC for the evening, kind of like a 12-year-old Doric Liza Minelli. My former guide leader, Pat Begg, had not told them beforehand because she wanted to see their faces. I want to thank Pat Begg for that. The guides gave me the space to find out that I could stand up in front of a crowded hall, and they are largely to be either thanked or blamed, depending on your perspective, for me standing up in this room now. I have spoken many times on the empowering nature of women, only spaces, and the girl guides have been that for decades, and I am 100 per cent behind the three asks of the Citizen Girl campaign. They ask of 50 per cent of election candidates to be female, yes, yes and yes again, but as the campaign recognises, we will never get to that stage without early work with girls to ready their aspirations and confidence to look upon candidacy as an option. I say that as someone who spent a great deal of last winter cajoling excellent but reluctant women into going forward for council candidacy. Women who are now elected and making a difference in their local communities and a refreshing or rather stale council group, I am sorry for anyone who takes offence at that, but it is true. Those who know me will know that I am a strong advocate for the increase of female representation in management and boards, and I have been both an MSP and in my working life before the election. This week, I am ranked to every girl guide group in my constituency to offer to come and meet with them to discuss their work, that work that they are doing and their work on those issues. It is not easy when most girl guide sessions are held when I am 160 miles away in Edinburgh midweek, but we will work something out and maybe I will be able to work out how to get some of Aberdeenshire East guides into the gallery where so many of their fellow guides are today. As for your voices, well, they are stronger than ever. The closed focus group discussion on sexual harassment and bullying that I joined caught the save and invitation from the convener of the equality and human rights committee, Christina McKelvie, featured some of the most engaging, persuasive and assertive voices that I have heard in this place, and they were the voices of girl guides. The girl guides work alongside those of us who are campaigning quite successfully, I might add, to take down the barriers to period products is absolutely inspiring. I saw your new end-period poverty badge online this week, and I have to say that I wish I had been able to sew that on instead of the long-dress one all those years ago. That shows us how far we have come in overturning stigma and recognising the powerful voices of girls and young women and what are forced to be reckoned with the girl guides continue to be. That badge in this campaign are proof. The girl guides aren't just moving with the times, they're leading the change of the times, and I can't wait to be watching a debate in this chamber and hear a new female MSP stand up and say it was Citizen Girl that inspired them to go for the election. Thank you very much. I call Rachel Hamilton, Ms Hamilton, please. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm going to try and do a minister, Michael Curry, to use my tablet like he did the sermon at the Royal Wedding, so I'm going to try and be modern. I apologise also to Rhoda Grant for wearing pink, and I love pink. I really welcome this debate, and I thank my colleague Ruth Maguire for securing it tonight. As a former girl guide myself, I'm proud to be associated with the Citizen Girl campaign, which aims to bring voices together and to become the next generation of leaders in politics. Together, our voice is louder, and it is stronger. By bringing debates like this to Parliament, we can knock down those barriers that women and young girls face. 100 years ago, not all, but some women got the right to vote for the first time, and this is fitting because 2018 is also the year of young people. Women have come so far, but are we truly equal? Isn't it staggering that, in 2018, women still battle against inequality and sexism and that gender pay gap still exists? The Fawcets Society, a group that campaigns for equality, says that caring responsibilities can play a big part, and women often care for young children or elderly relatives. That does sometimes, as they say, hold them back. It also means that women are likely to work in part-time roles, which often are lower paid or have fewer opportunities for progression. Under a Conservative Government, I am proud that we have brought forward that UK companies must now publish the gender pay gap for those employing more than 250 people. When it comes to equality in politics, the Conservative Party has an outstanding leadership record. However, we acknowledge that we have a steep hill to climb, and our party is ready to work towards greater diversity and gender equality. In Scotland, as my colleague Alison Harris said, we have set up a group of women to win with the objective of attracting more female candidates to step forward, coining the phrase on social media, hashtag, ask her to stand. Through engagement with women groups, we want to identify, recruit, train, mentor, support and advance women into elected positions at all levels of Parliament and local government. Minority groups and women will experience different journeys into politics, and there is not really a standard approach. What we aim to do is give individuals confidence by mentoring, training and also giving support. As well as that, Baroness Nishina Mabarak is heading up a commission to ensure greater gender and ethnic diversity in the party's ranks at the next Hollywood election. If we want to be the next Government, we need to demonstrate greater diversity. I represent a boarder's constituency and was recently invited to join a women in leadership event organised by the principal. She, of course, is a woman. Every woman was asked to bring a young person to that event, and we were asked to join together to agree common goals and make commitments such as pledging to mentor a young woman. Crucial to involvement is the involvement of young girls. Girlguiding plays an important role to encourage young females to speak out and to be heard. That means that politicians have to listen to those young female voices. The girls' attitudes survey revealed that 55 per cent of girls aged 7 to 21 say that gender stereotypes affect their ability to say what they think. 57 per cent of girls aged 11 to 21 do not think that politicians understand the issues that girls and young women face today. It is vital that politicians engage with those young voices and take note of what they have to say and also take action. That voice is threatened by online trolls and often male, often chauvinistic, misogynistic, sexist and aggressive. I am set to defeat those trolls that target female politicians and candidates. I am working with other MSPs in this place to create a platform to combat these incidences of abuse and work with social media platforms to make sure that their voices do not drown out our own. I, for one, as well as my colleagues, continue to do all we can to support and encourage young women both in and outside of politics. It is important to keep promoting female and young female voices. We need to give young women the confidence and the means to success in any role and in anything that they want to do. I thank those involved in the Citizen Girl campaign. As a former girl guide, I pledge my support to you. I now call Angela Constance to close to the Government. Thank you very much. I want to add my thanks to Ruth Maguire for securing this very important member's business debate tonight. I would like to thank all members for their contributions tonight.  It was very interesting to hear the reflections from Rachel Hamilton, Ash Denham and Gillian Martin on their time as girl guides. At this point, I am going to gloss over my very brief career in the girl guides, the brownies and the girls brigade. I am afraid that I was not involved in either of those organisations for long enough for reasons that I will not go into to stay around and sew a badge on any uniform. However, it is remarkable to listen to how, no doubt, the organisation girl guide in Scotland has changed over the years. Nonetheless, Gillian Martin was able to speak very personally and powerfully about how her time as a girl guide had helped her to blossom into a confident young girl and young woman. On that note, I am pleased to add my congratulations on behalf of the Scottish Government to girl guide in Scotland and women 50-50 on the launch of their citizens girl campaign, an extended very warm welcome to our visitors in the gallery to Parliament. That is, of course, your Parliament, and it is your Parliament as much as anybody else's Parliament. I also want to start by thanking all those who are involved with girl guide in Scotland, who, of course, is a volunteer's week. Volunteers ensure that girls and young women can take part in the guiding movement and participate in activities such as citizens girl. I understand that more than 2,000 girls have completed or are currently working on the citizens girl challenge badge so far, and that is quite a remarkable achievement. As many colleagues have said, this is absolutely the right moment for this initiative. 100 years since some women won the right to vote and to stand for election. Of course, it is Scotland's year of young people, a year to celebrate young people's achievements and to say to them that their voices are not just important, but they are absolutely central to the future of this country. I absolutely agree with the motion that the rights of women have advanced considerably over the past 100 years, and there is indeed a lot to celebrate—a lot to be proud of. However, we must acknowledge that inequality still exists. Ruth Maguire was quite right to say that the business that we have to be in is the business of real, meaningful and lasting change. Her contribution struck a chord when she articulated that there are some things that are much better for women and girls today, but, like her, I also fear that there are some things that are worse and, of course, the objectification of women and, of course, the issues in and around online abuse are very pertinent. Like Rhoda Grant, I was deeply struck by the fact that girls between the ages of seven and ten years old were really hopeful and confident that they had the same chance of success. 86 per cent of them thought that they could be up and at it on the same level as their male peers. Then, when you ask the same question to young girls and women between the ages of 17 and 21, that reduces to 35 per cent. Like Rhoda Grant, it begs the question what happens, what are the knocks in life that are happening here, what is putting down our girls and young women, what is oppressing them and, indeed, what still oppresses them today. It is quite clear that women's representation in Parliament and local government and in other senior positions is not where it should be and it is not enough to say that we are okay, we are here as women, we have to be thinking about the women that are missing, the women that are absent and we need to be thinking about the future of this country and the future generations of women that should be stepping into our shoes and, indeed, stepping into the shoes occupied by some men. We have to take action to addresses that require action and action and not just words. I was very struck at the end of last month that the BBC ran a story online highlighting the worst excuses given by FTSE 350 companies for not appointing women executives. It was quite depressing reasoning. We had the same old excuses and mythologies that I do not think women would fit comfortably into the board environment or the other quote. There aren't that many women with the right credentials and depth of experience to sit on the board. The issues that are covered are extremely complex. There is a whole list of excuses, one after the other, even while we have one woman already on the board, so we are done. Is it not somebody else's turn? When you read that type of commentary, it would make you think that it was actually 1918 and not 2018. For that reason, I was very proud to work with others across this Parliament and to take through the Gender Representation and Public Boards Act last year. It is also important that we acknowledge the fact that, for some groups of women, progress is seriously slow and seriously lacking. We have to improve our understanding of the particular experiences of women living with a disability and women from ethnic minority communities so that we can challenge the very specific issues that they face. On a very basic level, Parliaments are meant to serve the people. If you look on the one hand at who makes up the people and on the other hand who serves them, if those two groups look pretty different and sound pretty different, then there is something quite clearly in my mind that is not right. A really positive development over the last few years is extending the franchise in Scotland to its 16-17-year-olds. That has given an interest and an energy that young people have shown for political engagement. Given young people the vote can, I believe, peak their interests and keep them engaged in politics throughout their life. By empowering girls to use their voices and to see and feel the impact that they can have by doing so, citizen girls tap into that energy. It does so in a way that is fun and accessible for young women and girls. It also does so by what Ash Denham described by growing confidence through doing and giving young women the confidence to challenge and confidence to change the community around them. I know that many girlguides units have visited this Parliament. I understand that, currently, the average is one unit visit per week. That is wonderful. I commend Girlguide Scotland and its local leaders and volunteers for engaging in the Parliament this way. I am particularly intrigued by the concept of an edible Parliament. I hope that members might get a chance to sample a bit of Parliament, as we have never seen it before. If there was a competition to judge the edible Parliament, I would certainly be happy to oblige. I thank Ruth Maguire once again for bringing this motion to Parliament. It is a great example to send to young women and girls that their voices can make a difference, their voices will make a difference and that politics is indeed something that they can get involved in. They can be an MP, an MSP, a local councillor, a future Prime Minister or a First Minister, but they can also use their voices in lots of different ways to make a real difference. On International Women's Day this year, we held a debate where the focus was very much on young women and girls. We highlighted a number of examples of where young women have just done that and made a huge difference to their communities. The Glasgow girls have been one example. Of course, Bessie Watson is another, often considered to be the youngest suffragette. Bessie was also known for playing the bagpipes. She grew up in Edinburgh and she played her bagpipes at suffragette marches and rallies. Her parents were big supporters of the suffrage movement, and she even played outside the old Cotlinhill jail to keep the spirits of the women up who would have been held there. Of course, we will see the procession in Edinburgh on Saturday as well, which will give another aspect to the celebration of the 100 years of some women getting the vote. Once again, thank you very much to Girlguiding Scotland, women's 50-50, Ruth Maguire and other colleagues who have contributed this evening. As one of the female Deputy Presiding Officer of the Parliament, that concludes the debate, and I close this meeting of Parliament.


Hi guys, what is up welcome to my channel for today's video I am going to be ranking for you all of the palettes that I tried in the month of December I usually like to do these in mid-month So I can still play around with some of the palettes that I played with towards the end of the month So if you want to see what I tried and have my thoughts on everything then just keep watching Hi guys, if you're new here on my name is Morgan. I am a periodic knowledge enthusiast I just love knowing anything and everything about all of the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys December on the contrary though was not So much new makeup normally around December and January makeup releases really slowed down So it allowed me to really play with my makeup and dig into older palettes that I Wanted to try and I just never got the opportunity to there's a few new palettes Not very many but a lot of palettes that kind of I've been sitting on my to be tried Desk and I picked it up and I tried them all out. We are gonna start off with 11 so I tried 11 new palettes in the month of December, which is pretty light compared to what I normally do So it was really nice. I really did get to dig into these palettes This one was a new release and this should not be of shock to you if you saw my review There's two of these in this video So this is the Dior trio bleak trio in the shade triple bloom not a very good palette I'm just gonna show you at number 10 as well so I can compare the two number 10 is pure petals also a trio bleak Quad here basically both of these kind of look the same So you don't need two of these one is a little bit more cooler with a touch more depth But in reality there isn't much depth to either of these trios because this look at this color So this is what's supposed to add the depth Working really hard to get the color up Now it's skipped because of my bones, but that's kind of not very good. So the texture itself. It feels almost Sticky, it's really hard to build up. You can dig as hard as you want. You're not gonna get much depth I applied it with my finger and since it's almost sticky. It didn't blend out Just a horrible color now the top two colors in both trios aren't bad Like this is a really pretty wash all over the lid, but it's nothing to write home about It's nothing extraordinary Dior does so much better. So these to me were a very big waste of money They're beautiful and as a makeup collector. I still am happy to have that But I almost wish I didn't touch these because they're bad and now they're not as pretty anymore So I chose pure petals as the better one because I like this peachy shade I think it's really pretty and soft on the eye and overall It gives you a soft effect the look isn't going to be ugly by any means But for what you pay the quality on these are just disappointing moving on to number nine We have the color pop hello kitty and friends eye shadow palette So this is a nine pan eye shadow palette of really sweet light colors This just isn't my favorite palette from color pop in general. It's not necessarily bad quality, but it's not good quality I think color pop typically has a better formula than this one and the colors aren't amazing You can definitely get a pretty look a couple of the looks that I created with this I actually really really enjoyed, but it's not an inspiring palette The quality is nothing to write home about I like this palette because I love hello kitty so for that reason I do not regret purchasing this palette at all But it's not a palette that I would recommend to anybody purchasing unless you're a hello kitty fanatic like myself So I was just pretty unimpressed with this. It was only the concept in the packaging That's why I purchased it moving on to number eight. I have this five-pan palette from Kaleidos This is the Futurism Sesame City. I cannot believe and the counterpart to this one will also be in this video It took me so long to try these I have been dying to try these and finally I found the time So this one is the more neutral one of the two that came out Something about the formula in these don't seem quite as good as the other ones that I have But they're still really nice and their topper shades as always are very very beautiful But I had to dig into the color a little bit more and just the color story in general Isn't something that I love. It's a little bit more light and peachy I wish it had more of a nude twist to it So I'm just not in love with the color story the lid toppers are amazing But the mattes don't blow me away the next palette that we have which is number seven is The beauty by stony remedy eyeshadow palette now. I received this in PR a while ago and I've been wanting to dig into this It's a very interesting color story. It's not necessarily a color story that I love personally It's not my cup of tea, but I did really enjoy it creating looks with this palette It's definitely got a unique color story and there's a lot of room for different types of looks in here I created a very warm look. I created a purple look you have pops of blue and I really love this shade right here So overall color story wise I didn't find it to be a color story that I was deeply in love with but the formula was very workable Actually, it was quite easy and I was able to create very unique looks so they did release I'm not sure if it's released yet, but they have a remedy to eyeshadow palette and that one I have in my collection I'm gonna try that very soon and let you guys know I really like that color story more than this one, so I'm excited for that one, but this is not a bad palette If you like the color story, I think it will work really great on deeper skin tones as well correct me if I'm wrong I believe this is a black owned independent brand as well And I like the formula a lot just not my favorite color story Number six here is that Kaleidos counterpart that I was talking about. This is lunar lavender Obviously, this is ranking higher because you know, you know that this color story calls my name out I have an IG reel on my Instagram where I do a whole tutorial with this palette If you're interested to see the look that I created with it while I absolutely love this color story Again, this formula isn't as good as all of the other Kaleidos palettes that I have I found the mats really really needed to be built up I was going back into the color a lot to try and build up the pigmentation So overall because the base color is so beautiful the look that you're going to get is stunning But to get the opacity that I wanted on my eyelid I did have to put extra time into getting it there moving in to number five We have the color pop fade into hue palette now this one I feel like it's a palette that you're either going to love or hate I don't think this is the best or easiest formula to work with but for me I just really like the options that I have in here. I love the way that this palette is arranged I live the different textures, but you have to work slow with this palette Particularly in these two bottom rows, you'll find that these deeper mats are extremely powdery This palette makes a huge mess. I did film another IG reel Using the purple row and it was beautiful But I couldn't show the palette while I put the brush in because the powder would just fall everywhere It's a huge mess and there's a lot a lot of kickback, but if you work slowly I think with the amount of colors that you get it is still worth it So for me, I like this just because of the versatility and the inspiration I've had to create a lot of different looks from this palette It does take a little bit of extra work, but it still is pretty good as long as your patient You can get it to work You can get the look that you want and I just think typically for these types of colors It is harder to formulate and at the price point. I'm gonna say it's okay number four We have another color pop palette. I didn't realize I tried so many color pop palettes in the month of December So I finally got to dig into the at-for-us site Collaboration palette with raw beauty at Christy and I like this palette much better than her pure Collaboration, is it my favorite color story? No I just don't think Christy and I have the same taste because while this palette isn't an exact replica of her pure palette It does have similar tones in here and similar shades and these grungy tones down here Just don't do it for me. And I guess that's what she seems to like. I've had mixed Opinions about this palette. I've used it to create I believe four looks at this point and when I play with the top two rows I really really really love this palette But when we get into the deeper grungy tones, which I guess is what makes the palette more unique and more special These are harder to work with but again, you're not paying a lot for these so overall I think this is a really nice palette. I've liked the looks that I've created so far I do think it's missing a shimmer shade to kind of go with this corner over here So I don't really like that. There's only two shimmers personally for the types of looks that I like to create It's just color story wise Christy and I we don't align, but it is a nice palette. It's a unique palette I don't have a lot of palettes that look like this in my collection and it's quite affordable So pretty good palette number three is from Charlotte Tilbury This is the Hollywood flawless eye filter palette and this is in the shade star aura Now there are two other quads that came out in this line But this is the only one that I tried at the very very end of 2020 So the next two will be in my January rankings. I don't know which one of the three I like the most I think this one is my second favorite I would say but I actually really ended up liking this because I do feel like this is a color story that I see Myself grabbing for a lot. It's the perfect light every day at nudes It is a bit underwhelming and I do think it is overpriced. I would like to see more depth from this quad It is very kind of one tone one shade kind of deal here So this in my review I kind of said you don't really need it It's not the best one if you want to pay that type of price She has other quads that are better But at the end of the day these are colors that I do reach for a lot So I do see myself getting some use out of this Number two is the palette that I'm wearing right now Not many people talked about this palette, but for some reason it called my name I think part of it had to do just with this color packaging. I love it This is the NARS euphoria face palette and as you can see I played with these two colors today to get the look I really use this quad right here to get the look that I'm wearing. I like this palette I don't think it is a crazy unique or anything, but I think the NARS formula is very nice I like the NARS highlighters as well So overall I think this has been a really nice easy to grab for palette just a palette that I didn't have to think about If you get it, I think you'll like the formula. I'm not in love with this formula. That's my eyelid color It was a little bit lackluster for me I had to build it up But for the most part if you're looking for a palette that's reliable great for every day But you also have the option to add a fun pop I do it still really like this palette and I've been enjoying it. It's nothing amazing But I don't know I always find myself grabbing for NARS palettes a lot I just like their quality moving on to my number one favorite palette that I tried in the month of December It took many months for me to try this But I finally dug into the Too Faced pumpkin spice palette and I have not been able to look back I love this palette now. I will say I don't love the formula There are some shades in here that I do find to be a little bit more difficult to blend Some are maybe a little bit more chunky on the shimmery side But I know how to work with the colors and the color story in here is what has brought this to the top I've been able to create so many different looks warm looks pink looks purple looks green looks olive looks Just all different kind of looks so whoever arranged this color story kudos to you. It's incredible I love the way that the final look comes out every time and so yes every now and then it might be a bit of a journey It to get there But I've loved all of the looks that I've come up with and I truly regret not talking about this earlier for you guys Because this palette has sold out I will take a look to see if I can find any available for you guys to purchase So make sure you check out my description box, but this is one of my favorite holiday palettes to happen released All right, you guys there you have it Those were all of the palettes that I tried in December right for the most part December was a pretty Disappointing month as far as eyeshadow palettes while there were a few that I like the rest were kind of just Nothing really spectacular came out of December eyeshadow palette wise and normally I don't say that normally I go I love all the palettes that I tried this month really can't say that for this month I Guess cuz no new releases came out But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you found it helpful if you aren't subscribed to my channel already I would absolutely love it if you would consider taking the time to do so and I will see you guys in the next one Bye guys. Have a good one

Welcome to this language and learning support workshop, Useful Tools for University Writing. In this workshop, we will explore several tools that are useful for planning and writing your university assignments. Specifically, we will set the scene by reviewing the features of university writing and you will be asked to reflect on your own strengths as well as areas you would like to develop further. We will then examine a number of tools to assist you with reviewing and improving your draft writing. Ideally, you will use these tools regularly and they will contribute to your development as an independent reflective learner. Let's start by considering the features of good university writing. Pause this recording and jot down a few of your ideas. How does your list compare to ours? One feature of good university writing is the quality of the document itself, which includes thinking about aspects such as margins, line spacing, font sizes, and styles. Language is also an important consideration. Examples of language aspects the writer needs to consider include grammatical accuracy and variety, as well as vocabulary, which is specialized and varied. In addition, university writing has a style which is generally described as formal and academic. Referencing is another key feature of most university writing. We won't talk about referencing in this workshop, but the library offers many resources, so please take a look at the library website. Before we move on, take a minute to assess your own writing style against this list. Which areas do you feel confident about? Where would more advice and guidance be useful? Keep in mind, the Language and Learning Support Team offers several workshops which explore academic writing in more depth. So have a look at the workshop schedule and try to join one of these workshops. Good writing starts with a good plan. CDU provides you with a very useful assignment scheduler which helps you to think about the stages of the writing process and recommends a timeline for your writing project. Note that you can find this scheduler at any time by searching in your favorite browser for CDU assignment scheduler. Let's take a look at an example. This is the first screen of the assignment scheduler. It asks you to add a start date and a due date for your assignment. You should give the assignment a name and then calculate the recommended schedule. You will then receive a detailed timeline which breaks down the writing process into seven stages and includes additional videos, materials and recommendations to help you with your writing. You can also print the document in hard copy or save it as a PDF. A good working knowledge of Microsoft Word is generally expected by lecturers and tutors. So it's worth your while getting to know your way around Word. Word is a valuable tool for both formatting and language improvement. In another window, open Word Now and check that you know how to do each of the following. One, change the margins to wide. There is more than one method but the screenshot shows one way of changing your margins. Two, indent the first line of each paragraph by one centimeter. The screenshot shows two different methods. Three, change the line spacing to two. Yes, as you can see here, it's possible to view a wide range of formatting options on your home menu, including how to change your line spacing. Aside from formatting, Word can also give us insight into our use of language. Number four, find a spelling mistake. How do we find a spelling mistake using Word? You can use the editor in your review menu or look for words underlined in red. Five, how do we use Word to identify grammar errors? Again, use the editor in your review menu or look for words that have been underlined in blue. But of course a word of caution. Word can't do all your work for you. Look at the paragraph on the screen. Pause to see if you can find the mistake that Word has not identified. Did you find it? Word can check spelling, but it can't check context. This activity reminds us that we can't be over-reliant on technology. Microsoft Word can also assist us in finding better, more interesting or more precise vocabulary. Consider the paragraph above. If we right-click on the word in yellow and select synonyms, we get a range of alternative word choices. But are they all equivalent? Does my sentence keep its meaning if I substitute with the word toilets? No, it doesn't. In the context of the paragraph, toilets is not an appropriate word choice. If we want more options, we can always use the thesaurus. Let's consider this useful tool next. A good thesaurus will provide more synonym options than Word. But remember, it's important to check synonyms carefully and never use an unfamiliar word without thorough investigation. A good online thesaurus may have other useful functions in addition to suggesting synonyms. Let's look at www.thesaurus.com forward slash browse forward slash synonym. This thesaurus allows you to find synonyms and also see them in context. In the example, three synonyms for logical are placed in the same sentence to help the writer decide which alternative is most appropriate. Let's move on to a new suggestion. Google can be a very useful tool, particularly if we want to check collocations or word combinations. Using Google for this purpose is not an exact science, but Google can give us a quick and easy understanding of frequency and therefore offer clues about what is correct or incorrect. Consider prepositions, which often cause confusion. Perhaps I need to check. Should I say interested in or interested about? How do I use Google? Easy. I search for each expression using quotation marks so that my search is specific. The expression with the highest tally is most likely the correct version. Here we see that Google has over 900 million results for interested in and only 2.7 million for interested about. So we would select the first option. Let's look at another option which focuses on developing your vocabulary. When considering your writing in a university context, it is useful to be aware of the academic word list, defined as a compilation of the most frequent words in academic texts. These are the types of words you will see most often and be expected to use in your own work. But how do you know if you're using academic words? Let's look at a writing sample and a tool to assist us with looking at our vocabulary use. As an introduction to this activity, please keep in mind that the writing sample we're using is very basic. It allows you, the audience, to grasp ideas easily and later apply them to more complex texts. Before I demonstrate the tool, pause the recording and take a few minutes to read through the essay on the screen, focusing on the vocabulary. What are your thoughts? You may have noticed a high level of repetition. You might think the writer has opted for fairly simple words. Let's take a look at how we can use a vocabulary profiler to give us more information about word choice and opportunities to improve vocabulary use. The next few screenshots will demonstrate this tool. www.lextutor.ca The full address is on the screen. The vocabulary profiler provided by Lex Tutor provides the user with a detailed analysis of their word choice, including an understanding of whether academic word list vocabulary is used. When you first click on the link, you may find the software a bit overwhelming, but if you follow my instructions, you'll be able to get the information you need. On the first screen, simply copy your writing into the text box and click on the yellow submit button. In this case, we have copied the essay from the previous slide. You will then find yourself faced with an array of numbers. Let me help you understand these. Blue indicates the thousand most common words in the English language. So 86% of the words in the sample essay come from this group. Green indicates the next thousand most common words and just under 9% of the words in the sample essay come from this group. Don't be alarmed when you see high numbers of blue and green words in your own writing. These words are common because we need them. However, we might want to think about whether any of our common words can be replaced with more specific words, words which reflect the subject matter we are studying. As only 3% of the words in yellow come from the academic word list. If you scroll down further, you can find more details about your writing in the vocabulary profiler and look for opportunities to make your vocabulary less repetitive, more interesting or more precise. Even considering our very basic writing sample, can you think of some synonyms for children? If not, don't forget your thesaurus. We've come to the end of this workshop. As promised, we have reviewed features of university writing, brought about our personal strengths and weaknesses and examined tools to assist with writing review, writing improvement, long-term development and independent learning. Thank you for your time today. Please stay in touch. You can visit our webpage to find out about our other workshops and services, www.cdu.edu.au, forward slash library, forward slash language and learning support or you can email us at language and learning support at cdu.edu.au.


Hi, my name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food and I am here today with an Aldi haul. I just needed a few things. I ended up spending $96 and I feel like I really didn't get that much. So let me jump right in. So I grabbed some Rainier cherries. Howard and I really liked them a lot and they were I think 6.99 a pound. I just love having parsley on hand. I use it for all sorts of recipes, especially the ones that call for cilantro because my husband does not like cilantro so I use this in place of that. Very seldom, I very seldom wear makeup and I recently wore some makeup and realized I did not have any makeup removing towelettes and so these supposedly are comparable to Neutrogena and they were only $1.99 and I thought that was a pretty good deal. You get 25 of them. We are going to start trying to potty train Harrison who is my two-year-old and I've never bought any type of like pull-ups or training pants, anything like that. You get 22 of these and they were 5.99 and I thought that would be a good start for us to try. I grabbed some heavy whipping cream because I use that all the time in different recipes. This heavy whipping cream was $4.35. To me, that is a lot of money. One of their special buys of the week are these Philly Cheesesteak Mini Spring Rolls and they just sounded good to me so I just wanted to give them a try. Now I posted these bars, these chunky bars on my Instagram which is Foodimentary Adventures in Food. I don't post very often but I do post when I really like something and these candy bars are one of the things that I really like. So if you like KitKats, you will love these. To me, these are a lot better than KitKats. The chocolate is so good and I don't know if they're getting rid of these because they were on clearance for 39 cents so I grabbed 11 bars. Howard says he doesn't really like these and doesn't really like chocolate but he always ends up eating stuff he says he doesn't like so that's why I got 11 bars. Also, by the checkout stand, I saw these and they sounded pretty good. Never tried them before. Milk chocolate with s'mores. I always like to cook with beef smoked sausage and I couldn't remember if I had any. If I do, I may have one pack so I just wanted to have a package of this on hand and this was I think 3.45. They had a new flavor of Bluebell Ice Cream, this oatmeal cream pie and it says, let me try to find what it has in there for you all. Okay, here it is. Oatmeal flavored ice cream with hints of brown sugar mixed with soft oatmeal cookies and a vanilla icing swirl, sorry. I was trying to read it. So curious to try this. Excited about that. Grabbed some mushrooms because I just like to have them on hand for recipes and I've heard people talk about for years that they'd have pizza dough in there Aldi. I have never seen it before today and it was in the frozen section, not the refrigerated section that people talk about. I grabbed some of these tilts. I really like them a lot, key lime crunch. They remind me of, what's the name of those? Can't remember, I'll insert it but I really like these. They are very, very good. Grabbed some ham, just a half. Grabbed some ghee. I love to cook with ghee recipes that call for butter like if I'm making pancakes and if you don't know butter burns pretty quickly but this ghee doesn't. So I love cooking with ghee like my eggs, my pancakes, french toast, stuff like that. I saw these two stirring paste that I've never seen before. This is Italian herb and here it is. It shows you what's in there, oregano, basil, you name it, rosemary, marjoram, et cetera. So I grabbed that and then I like to make Asian dishes. Sometimes they call for lemongrass. That's not something I always have on hand so I grabbed this, just a half. These strawberries look pretty good and I think they were only $1.49 so I grabbed that. There's a recipe that I wanted to try and it called for crushed tomatoes and I didn't have any so I just grabbed a can of crushed tomatoes. I have had these before, these croissant buns and they are very good. I like to toast them with butter and make breakfast sandwiches out of them and I think they were $3.99. I also love cooking with grapeseed oil. I've never seen, I don't think, this grapeseed oil spray and I like it because it has a really high smoke point. So if you're frying something like eggs or something else like that and sometimes olive oil doesn't work, grapeseed oil does the trick so I grabbed two of them because I don't think I've seen it before and then I always grab their grapeseed oil again just for the same thing, just for high heat cooking but this is the oil form. Well I guess they're both oil. Oil and spray. Grab some of these apple straws. Harrison really loves apple straws. Normally I get the name brand and they, I think these come around maybe once a year, the Clancy's version. So I grabbed one bag because that's all they had. I recently discovered these home style tortilla chips. I really like them a lot. My favorite brand name is On the Border and these probably are my second favorite. So these are a really kind of thick and hearty chip. I like to heat mine up in the air fryer just to warm them up a little bit to make them a little bit crispier but they are very good. And as you can see the expiration date is coming up pretty soon. I ignore that expiration date. I've eaten these way past the expiration date and they are fine. Grabbed Harrison some melts. That's again my two year old. And then I also grabbed him some of these knockoff Pringles because he absolutely loves these things. So this is everything that I picked up on my fill-in Aldi haul. I hope you all enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. And if you have not subscribed to our channel we'd certainly love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.
