Hello and welcome to the session, the given question says, the mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects, mathematics, physics and chemistry are given below. Subject, a mathematics, physics and chemistry mean is 42, 32 and 40.9 and standard deviation is 12, 15 and 20 respectively. Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest? So, let's start with the solution. For determining which subject is more variable, we have to observe from the standard deviation whichever is greater as more variable. So, here the standard deviation of chemistry is highest versus 20. Standard deviation of mathematics is lowest and therefore chemistry shows the highest variability, mathematics shows the lowest variability. And that's our answer is highest variability is of chemistry, lowest is of mathematics. So, this completes the session, hope you have learned it, take care and have a good day.


I'm on the Rams here and I referenced last week when they went into Arizona that that was kind of a write the ship game where they needed to work on a few things, get their pieces all straightened out and they did exactly that. I thought it was a nice fine tuning type of an effort and that they will repeat what they did in that game. Jared Goff throwing for over 400 yards, look he hasn't been that great this year. I think he's back on track and when the Rams get good, in other words when they blow teams out when they have one by 14 points or more, they have been 4-0 against the spread in their next start. So I see them putting two games back to back flawless type of performances and that spells bad news for the Seattle Seahawks who have found a way to win a lot of games this year. I don't think they do it coming down to LA.  You look at the first matchup between the Seahawks and the Rams and it really could have broken either way. You had a miss field goal at the end, you had random plays bouncing in various ways and granted Russell Wilson ranks third in scrambles, averages nearly 8 yards when he fakes off. He gets split second most frequently and he's still playing at a very high level and MVP level almost. Then Seattle comes in with a fourth force defense in terms of generating quarterback pressures which is good news for Jared Goff because with a clean pocket he can be a very good football player when he's pressured though he has some trouble. And so you look at all four phases and it really does even out. It's just that Seattle's had a lot more breaks and Russell Wilson is playing far better when pressured when outside of the pocket. And so I throw all of this in there and this game really could go either way and I think because it went Seattle's way in the first meeting I think we'll go in L.A.'s direction. Second. It's a coin flip situation for you. Back home. I'm going to go with the Rams. Yeah, I think they need to get hot here at the end of the season and I think they will. I think they get this win. Slight favorite here at minus one.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. Here comes the star-studded Chaudhrey. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the famous Victor Herbert operetta, Amor Selmo D., starring Gordon McRae and his lovely guest, Jane Powell. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight, another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad.  And now here is our star, Gordon McRae. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. In Victor Herbert's Mademoiselle Modisse, I play the part of an American student in Paris who falls in love with Pifey, the charming Mademoiselle Modisse who sells women's hats. And here is our Mademoiselle Modisse tonight, is the Pifey we all take our hats off to. The lovely singing star of the film, Jane Powell. Selmo D., she worked in one of the most fashionable hat shops in Paris. And whenever I was able to take time for my studies, I used to hurry to the shop to try and get a glimpse of her. This had to be done in the greatest secrecy. Because a great uncle of mine had promised my mother to keep an eye on me while I was studying in Paris. And his idea of keeping an eye on me was to keep me away from every pretty Mademoiselle in the city. The hat shop was owned by a Madame Cecile. And one day when I dropped by the shop with some flowers for Pifey, Madame Cecile said to me...  After all, she is a vicious woman and nothing will ever matter to Pifey as much as her career. Are you sure, Madame Cecile? After all, I wouldn't think a girl would want to spend all of her life in a hat shop. I have spent all of my life in a hat shop. Some day Pifey will be just like me. What do you mean? Well, Madame, I see Pifey in a small house. Cooking and sewing and singing to little girls who look just like her.  You should be free to do as you like. Well, that's always been my philosophy. I waited to see her. He was determined to fix things so that I would never see Pifey again. Good afternoon, your lordship. Madame Cecile said you wanted to see me. How can I serve you?  I sell hats, monsieur. May I show you some? Well, suppose I ask you to model one and come to pee with me. What would you say to that, eh? I cannot leave the shop. There ain't working hours, monsieur. Well, how about after working hours? I have an engagement after working hours. With the gentleman? Oui, monsieur. He must be a very attractive gentleman. Sir, if you aren't interested in any hat, I must ask you to review it. Oh, I'm very interested in hats. Show me something that an attractive young girl might enjoy wearing in the morning. Oui, monsieur. What is a young lady's complexion? Very like yours. Oh? Well, then how about this model? Oh, that's enchanting. I'll take it. Now, about this gentleman you meet after work. Is he a young American? Oh, no, monsieur. He is an old Frenchman. Oh, how does this model strike you? Well, it's German. An old Frenchman? You are in love with an old Frenchman? In love? Oh, no, monsieur. He is my music teacher. Oh, you're a music teacher. But, of course, I'm setting to go on stage. Not the setting is ever likely to do me much good, will it? Well, why do you say that? Monsieur, I have neither money nor influence. And without one or the other, I am helpless. Tell me, what sort of roles can you play, mademoiselle Marie? Any role? Well, you have self-confidence. I'll say that for you. Monsieur, I will show you that I have more than that. While Fifi was having them wrapped, he slipped $5,000 into an envelope and addressed the envelope to her. When she returned, he said to her... The name of the lady who is to receive the hat is on this envelope. I want you to deliver them to us. Oui, monsieur. Fifi, you're back. I was hoping you'd be. Uncle, what are you doing here? Uncle, Robert... Good afternoon, Robert. I must say I am surprised and shocked after I expressly forbad you to come here again. I'm not a child, Uncle, and you're not going to tell me where I'm to go and who I'm to see. What is going on out here? What is all this motion? Madame Cecile, I love Fifi, and I want to marry her and take her away from here. You want to take her away? Robert, you will cease your attentions to this young woman at once.  Madame Maudite, you will have nothing to gain by trapping my nephew into this greatful alliance. He is not going to cut your nephew into anything. He is going to stay right here with me. Where will I find another Maudite like her? I tell you, I will not have it... No, no, no, no, I can't stand it any more. I can't stand it any more. You should come with me. No, Robert. You feel the count. I will not marry your nephew. You need not worry. I know that he can never marry a Maudite. So, there is nothing for me to do but to go away. Where will you go? I will deliver these hats for the clients, and I will not be back. I think you are making a wise decision, Madame Maudite. We'll find the address on the envelope. And I hope you attain your goal and become a great figure. Fifi, you can't leave me like this. You can. I love you. I'm sorry, Robert. I'm afraid there's no other way. The last two part, how great the sorrow To leave the friend-grown bond with years To know perchance set on the mall The American people have a wider choice of a greater variety of necessities, conveniences and luxuries than any other people have ever enjoyed. One of the important reasons for this is the American system of transportation. The backbone of that system is the great workhorse of American life, the railroad. Of course, we have other forms of transportation on land and water and in the air, but it is the fundamental service of railroads which makes possible the modern highway and the motor cars which use it, and also makes possible all the other newer ways of transport. Each one of these other forms of transportation is widely used, but no one of them, nor all of them together, can do for this country what is done day in and day out by its railroad. Only the railroads can and do handle anything movable, anywhere, at any time, in any quantity, and for anyone. They keep the products of our farms, forests, and mines moving to industrial plants and carry back the finished goods which our people use and enjoy in such abundance. Like most industries, the railroads operate most efficiently and most economically, when they operate most nearly to capacity. So the more freight that is shipped by rail, the more passengers who ride the trains, the better able will the railroads be to handle your business and meet the nation's needs in commerce and defense. That's why it's good business to do business with the railroads. Here is the second act of Mademoiselle Moudisse starring Gordon MacRae and his lovely guest, Jane Powell. The days, the months went by, and then a year, two years. I tried to tell myself I didn't care, but it wouldn't work. I saw her face everywhere, yet I could never find her.  For loving and wooing are all of his doing, and yet he makes it painful as can be. He mixes the stations, he changes relations for all your little steams he sets his snare. And though you have planned it and both understand it, he'll fix it so your sweetheart is not there. Now, Pee-Pee could have disappeared so completely. I didn't know she had become a famous singer under the name of Madame Bellini, and that she had come to see my uncle. I have come to repay a debt, Monsieur. In this envelope, with your name on the outside, you will find the money that you so generously loan me.  Oh, but yes. Didn't you know? As a matter of fact, I am singing tomorrow night at the Charity Bazaar. I am Madame Bellini. Singing at the Charity Bazaar? My Charity Bazaar? We miss you. Is this some trick of yours to see to Robert? Well, he'd be there. Now, see here, you ought to have nothing to do with Robert. I am no longer a modicine. My dear girl, Robert can marry only a woman of birth and education, a woman who is of my station in life. Oh, he could hardly marry you, Monsieur. This is no occasion for levity. I absolutely forbid you to make any appearance at the Charity Bazaar. Very well, Monsieur. But I think you are a selfish old aristocrat without a kind charitable thought in your heart. You couldn't keep your precious nephew. I wouldn't dream of marrying him. But Pee-Pee did come to the Charity Bazaar. I asked as a fortune teller, and I went to her to have my fortune told. She wore a mask and, of course, I had no idea who she was. What kind of fortune would you like, Monsieur? Well, what kind have you? Let me see your palm, and I'll tell you. Monsieur, I see blond, yes, and pretty. Oh, no, not in my palm, Madame Bellini. I have only loved one woman, and she... Yes? She's forgotten me. Monsieur, I see a great surprise for you.  Really? Someone who loves you the most away. A singer. Oh, dear. There's someone who hates her. My uncle. He's trying to keep you apart. He wants you to marry a title. No, no. I'll marry Mademoiselle Modisse, or no one. Through all the long, very months of the opera, he thought of you and dreamed of you. I wonder if he still remembers. Beepie. Darling, darling, it's you. It's really you. Yes, Robert. Oh, Beepie. Oh, oh, there's the soldiers. They've made me their mascot, and I promised to sing for them. I'm coming with you. I'm never going to let you out of my sight again. Oh, I hope you never do. Hey! Soldiers of France! Soldiers, I am honored to be your mascot. Beepie and I are going to get married, Uncle, and this time no one is going to separate us.  I'll have her. You know, Uncle, you really did us a great favor by separating us. You showed us how much it means to be together. Well, young woman, it seems you've won, and I have lost. Oh, please, please don't feel that way about it. Scare our happiness for you. Well, that doesn't seem to be anything else to do, but to swallow my pride and wish you both happiness and withdrawal. I don't know, I always get so sentimental in the spring. Beepie. Well, this is Gordon McRae giving a big boat of thanks to Verna Felton and Joseph Kearns for their fine performances tonight. Madam is Elmo Deist with book and lyrics by Henry Blossom and music by Victor Herbert was adapted for radio by Gene Holloway. The railroad hour is brought to you each week at this time by the American Railroads. These railroads have many meanings for America. Deep and vital meanings. They mean essential, efficient, and economical transportation. They mean jobs, good jobs, not only for railroad men and women, but also for hundreds of thousands of others who make the materials, supplies, and equipment the railroads buy. And railroad mean taxes. Taxes which help pay for the education of your children and for the general public welfare. Yes, day in and day out, railroads play an important part in the growth and progress of your community. And that's why it's good business to do business with the railroad. And now, here again, there's lovely Jane Power. Oh, Janie, you know it's always a pleasure to have you with us. Oh, for me too, Gordon. I'm really beginning to feel at home around the railroad. Well, you should. You're certainly streamlined enough. Well, you're no snowflake either. Well, we'll be expecting you back week after next again, Janie, for our St. Patrick's Day program. George M. Cohen's Irish musical Little Nelly Kelly. Oh, I'll be here. Meanwhile, be sure to listen next week, Janie, because we're doing Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore. And our guests are going to be Kenny Baker and Lucille Norman. Oh, I won't miss it. Bye, Gordon. Bye. Well, it looks as though we're ready to pull out. And so until next week, goodbye. Moisele Maudise was presented by Special Arrangement with the Tams Whitmark Music Library. Jane Powell appeared by arrangement with Metro-Goldman Mayor, producers of Key to the City, starring Clark Gable, already young, Frank Morgan, and Marilyn Maxwell. Gordon McRae appeared by arrangement with Warner Brothers, producers of The Hasty Heart, starring Ronald Reagan, Patricia Neal, and Richard Todd.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Foot Captains team number two dropped yesterday with some expected items and of course, a couple of surprises, right? It wouldn't be a promo Friday without some surprises from EA Sports and a couple of those included cards that were not leaked originally with team two coming out and there are some nice cards that were released. I think Foot Captains team two is a pretty solid W, especially with the hero cards, the hero captains that we had. I think these four hero captains are better in total than the ones that we had last week overall but these are some really dope cards. Again, the Tim Cahill SBC yesterday was pretty dope. It required a Foot Captains card so that made some market movements happen a little bit and I want to talk about the market in general today because I'm very interested in will there be a little bit of a Saturday sell off today potentially because people know that once again or at least some people know that we are gonna be having team of the season voting starting tomorrow on Sunday. So I wanna take a look at that today on the video. I bought a Jude Bellingham from 1.3, he is up, that is nice and there were a lot of market movements. I think that Jude might have just sold as well. It did, GGs but we did make some big coins yesterday but a lot of the market just rebounded slightly and then it's even down now a little bit into the evening. I don't know if that's gonna continue into today but I wanna take a look at that and the other W content that we had yesterday as a part of the Foot Capents promo and what we can expect today content-wise as well.  Now, the team that we had yesterday, the way that they were reacting on the market was pretty much how we would expect them to be, right? Again, you had guys like this Lacazette who is the one that I'm really mentioning is the most unexpected card from yesterday. Lacazette was not leaked at all but what a boost. Warstar, four-star, high-high work rates, great stat boost, huge stamina boost in this card. Looks really, really meta. His first special card of the year and it's a really solid item, nice primary striker, W for me a sports in my opinion but these cards like we mentioned yesterday were not their cheapest first hour by any means, right? Lacazette first hour was like 700, 800K. You can see now that he's 500. I think he was even under 500K for just a short bit and now he's bounced back a little bit but that's how it was for the whole entire rest of this team. So if you're trying any of these guys out today, some of them have gotten really low Saturday night heading, or sorry, Friday night heading into Saturday. Lacazette, like I said, was down at like 500K flat. He's now up a little bit. I think that you'll see a few of these cards rise up into today, not all of them but a few of them. I'm really interested in a Betty Pelle. I sold him at 1.8 mil as a really rare fluctuation but he was between like 1.5 and 1.7 for a lot of the day yesterday and now being in the 1.3s. It's gotten me interested. Cordoba's really rare. He's in the 900. What a cracked out card that this dude is and also we're loving that the base version of Cordoba is now out of packs and he is up like 15K because of that. So some big money happening all around if he made some of those investments earlier in the week. Then the rest of the team, I think that this Boyate card, it's actually kind of crazy. If you look at the squad, a lot of the cards that were released that are hype are kind of in the more expensive range, right? Henderson, Lacazette, and then the four heroes. And then of course the extinct, like major number one card out of this promo Marcello being extinct at 1.3 mil. I don't know what EA was thinking releasing this guy's price max at 1.3. It should have been like 2.5 mil as a price max. And then he would probably be on the market then but he is still extinct as of right now at 1.3 million coins. And I really hope that EA does not take forever to upgrade this price and to get him on the market. Hopefully we have a price range update very, very soon. I want to see this guy on the market because this card looks unbelievable. I want to trade with him. I want to buy this card. I want to try him out. Again, we had known this week for like what a week now but this is an insane, insane, insane card. So 1.3 million coins is not doing justice with the stats that he has. The high, high work rates at the game as well. No more high, low or whatever he was. I mean, this is probably your best box to box midfielder in the game. One of your best left backs in the game. Shoot, I know some people are putting a hawk on this man and they're wanting to play him at striker to get 99 shot power, 99 positioning. Like look at that card with the hawk. It's crazy. So this card you can use just about anywhere. One of the most versatile and one of the most hyped cards in this promo of course but still extinct. Henderson with a really nice card. High, high work rate change. Four star, four star. Really big pace boost. Really great card overall as well. So again, those are like the most hyped cards that are part of this promo and they're most expensive, right? Henderson, Lacazette, Marcello, top three guys. But then your lower tier of cards are pretty interesting as well. Boyota and Tatech are already in the fodder category but I think this Boyota card is kinda sick. He's medium, high work rates. He is six foot two and he's got 91 stand tackle, 92 sliding, 97 strength, 96 jumping. Really good short passing and long passing honestly for a center back. And 34,000 coins. I know his links aren't the best. And that's an incredible budget center back already released as a part of the foot cap. It's Promo Trimble is a solid card. And Danovic, Assyriac, Geper, Wardprout, 70K. I think these cards will still drop a little bit more this weekend. But I mean, besides those lower tier cards in this team I feel like this promo team is decently hyped. Not like the most insane squad ever. I feel like the heroes are the more hyped heroes to release this week. Though like I mentioned, Robbie Key with the five star week foot upgrade. Joe Cole with the five star skills. Cordoba with just the insane boost all around. Some people were asking me today, is this Cordoba card team of the season level? And I said absolutely it's team of the season level. The only thing it looks bad is his dribbling stat. But when you look at all the stats except for actual dribbling, he looks really, really good. So I would imagine this card is insane off the ball. And then when he gets on the ball, his dribbling stat is what's kind of dragging down that overall dribbling number. But 97 balance, 88 agility, 90 reactions. Like this card probably is gonna be insanely good in game. And he's gonna be decently rare too. All of these captain's hero cards are pretty rare, which is what you expect, right? The pack weight for these is pretty low like I was talking about with a Betty Pele. I think on the market right now I know it's the dead of night, but he has three pages, right? Almost not even a full three, right? Two and like three fourths. So, you know, I think that some of these cards could rebound up a little bit today as people wake up today on Saturday and wanna go out and try them. You might see a little bit of a promo fluctuation like we do sometimes, not every time, but sometimes with these cards. The only thing I'll be honest, and we'll continue talking about this here for a bit, the only thing I'm slightly worried about today is for a lot of the out-of-packs cards, there was a nice market rebound yesterday, right? Since a lot of the brand new cards were really expensive, a lot of that mid to low tier went low, but then it rebounded back. Like, Joao Felix went down to 400K, went all the way back to like 440, 450, but now he's back down to 400. My question is, are people finishing their weekend week and knowing that team of the season voting is tomorrow, which we'll talk about again on the video tomorrow, knowing that information, is this gonna be a Saturday where a lot of people panic sell cards because of that?  But it slowed down a bit. So that's why I kind of figured the market would bounce back up and it did, but now we're just at a point where we're wondering, hey, is this gonna be a day where people finish their weekend week and they sell off on a lot of cards? I wouldn't expect it to be a day with a ton of panic because again, if you think about for the casual player of FIFA 22, they don't know about that team of season info yet and maybe unless EA drops a loading screen or something crazy like that, even then, I don't think it would have that much impact. But this, again, we're talking about a weekend that is really soon before team of the season. So we did have a little bit of buyback this week, as we take a look at some of the out-of-packs cards from maybe like one that comes to mind is Foot Birthday Allen, right? Foot Birthday Allen was like 330K at his absolute lowest earlier this week and now he's back up to like 383.90 and some of your fantasy foot cards have gone back up in value. Some of these types of cards have risen up a little bit and that just has me wondering, is there going to be a bit of sell-off today? I would imagine there's gonna be a little bit but I don't think it would be too drastic. The only thing that would make it be super drastic is if people are like OMG, Tots voting is tomorrow and they're just all of a sudden is a lot of panic created for somehow, some reason. But I don't really expect that today. Maybe next weekend as the voting is ending and as Foot Captains is ending and it's like, okay, team of the season is really on the doorstep. That might be like our time to see that last big piece of panic selling but we have to of course keep our options open and if we see a lot of panic selling today, then maybe this will be one of the times to find low, low prices on cards for out-of-packs items. I just think it might be a little bit early for that but we shall see. So that's kind of what I'm feeling right now on the market. I'm not really scared of a market crash. As you can tell, I have like half of my coins at the moment invested in flips. I bought some Liverpool cards. I bought a Royce before he went out of packs. Again, Royce actually went up like 30K but now he's back down, right? And that's what has me just questioning a little bit. Is there really enough motivation for people to go out and still try cards on this game right now? Or is some of that hype endings? Yeah, you see Royce is like 400K. He'll probably go back up to like 420. Looks like he's pretty rare right there. But even some of your heroes cards, your foot captain heroes from team one, like Milito is down. Milito is like 670, I think, unless this is a crazy undercut. Fuppin has him at 602 so that's not a crazy undercut by any means. I bought some Mario Gomez yesterday at 460. He went up to 500K and I think now he's back down. Okay, he's 49 so and he's super rare. That's why I love this card but I think I'm gonna try to cash a few of these out. Take some of the quick flip profits that I had from yesterday and just kind of move on from there and tread carefully through this next week in regards to stuff on the market. Now speaking of the stuff on the market, I think prices during this next week are gonna be impacted depending on the hype levels of content that EA released. And as of yesterday, I think they're doing pretty good with at least the first day of a promo Friday. They dropped some pretty solid SPCs, right? Usually promo Fridays are focused around cards and packs. This Tim Cahill SPC for me is a W. High, high work rates, 4-4. And honestly, this guy can, you can use it in a lot of different positions as well. A lot of people have been saying, put an engine on this card, use them as a box to box center mid with the attacking prowess that he has but also solid passing, solid dribbling and mediocre defending. This card could pass for either a striker or a box to box midfielder with the work rates that he does have. I think it would be fun to put Tim Cahill in a two striker formation with Weghorst and Cahill as your strikers and try to cross the ball in all the time. 99 jumping, 99 heading. I know it seems a bit sweaty but just to play a little bit different. Also 99 aggression. I think I'm gonna try to get this SPC done later on in the week. It's out for two weeks. So try to craft him a little bit but that to me is a W, right? A hero's captain card, Premier League links, green link to any Premier League card in the game. Not the most meta item, but it's kind of cool. Now one interesting part of this SPC was it required foot captains players. And I don't know if any of you guys went out on the market and looked at some foot captains cards but there was one item in particular that absolutely had a crazy rise right away when the SPC came out because people went out and is it Jonas Hector? Yeah, that's the guy. They were searching up this Hector card. He was the cheapest item from team one of foot captains. He went from 20,000 coins all the way to like 27 or 30K in that first like 10, 15 minutes after the SPC was dropped. And then of course he went back down as people started selling their investments and as the K-Hill SPC is hype but not like the most type SPC ever. So that's why that card is back down. Let's be honest, it's not that hard to get a foot captains item if you wanna turn it into that SPC. You can play a few games here for the Moin which is eight separate matches in the national nights. I don't even know what this friendly mode is. I hope it's not that hard but you can get a pretty easy card here. I know a lot of you guys had player picks and it's not that hard to pack a guy like Dubois or Hector last week. So you might have one of them in the club. You might have already done Stindle. So you can get a foot captains card decently easy that way. I would imagine there's more player picks coming out this week or upgrade packs that you could get one of those as well and put that into the Tim K-Hill SPC if you wanna do it. But speaking of other SPCs yesterday, we had a big boy icon moments SPC in Thierry on Rhee. And even though fodder is down a little bit which might be contributing to this SPC being pretty cheap, this is again, hats off to EA Sports, great value. Great value on this SPC. It's basically coming in at just under 1.5 million coins for a Thierry on Rhee icon moments item that was two million coins before any leaks or any panic started for him getting an icon moments card. So a really nice discount here for this. Very craftable of course. It's out for 90 days during team of the season. Gonna be very craftable there as well. Also can't forget about Marquis matchups finally being released yesterday early in the day and the Puyol SPC which if you did not know this, this is pretty helpful information. I don't know if they've fixed this or not but EA added the wrong pack into the rising star SPC segment of Puyol. So make sure if you have 11 rare silvers in your club, go and do this because usually it only gives out a two rare gold players pack but this one gives out a prime mixed players pack. So it's basically a pretty good SPC to just go and do because like all these other icons, they only give out two rare gold players packs for those first two bronze and silver squads. So for Puyol, it's a big W that EA made that slight mistake. I guess you would call it on the game yesterday. Now I actually opened some player picks. I know a lot of you guys saved some of those as well and I did end up packing a Pellegrini. So I packed a Pellegrini, not bad, decent pack holder out of like, I think I had like honestly like 20, 15 to 20 saved player picks, it was nothing crazy. So I was able to pack one of those captain's cards from team two off of the get go which was nice. Now let's talk today a little bit more. I know we mentioned the market, maybe a few price drops today, not entirely sure how crazy it's gonna be. I wouldn't expect anything too wild unless there's some sort of catalyst for panic but I think we might be seeing another player SPC today and it might be this mad lad of Pepe. I think if we remember last week they went back to back days and they usually do this, the Friday and Saturday they drop player SPCs. Pepe is our most recent leaked card to be coming out as an SPC item. If he has these stats, this card will be insane. I would imagine that this SPC would be cheap.  There's been some love for League of Knowledge this year but again, just be cognizant of this card. A lot of people might go out and purchase out some of those League of Knowledge, League of Portugal links because of this Pepe card and them wanting to try him out. Probably the most usable Pepe card that we've ever seen. So just kind of watch out for maybe some of your Portuguese links, some of your League of Portugal links as well. Might have a rise in price. If this SPC is A, very good value. B has a very good stat boost on the card and it has some hype. Then you'll see some of that stuff go up. Some of you guys might be asking where in the world is Busquets and Payet? We talked about them. Well, here's our answer. In the mini-release coming tomorrow on Sunday, Busquets, Payet and Seamus Coleman are supposed to be the cards that will be put out during the mini-release tomorrow. So that's when our Busquets will finally drop on the game. So yeah, kind of an extra couple of days of waiting for the Busquets card right there.  I really, really don't. I know it seems like it's taken a backseat to like even a little bit of the team is seasoned content. And a lot of you guys might be like, yo, these cards are just very, very expensive except for the ones that are basically fodder. These cards really don't interest me that much. And I get that, but I think that EA is just putting out some nice items for people to try out right now. And it's before team of the season when people are being very careful with their coins. Anyway, I don't have a problem with this stuff right now.  I know I bought a couple of them yesterday, but that card to me looks like just really, really solid. So I really don't have anything bad to say about this promo at the moment and about the cards they're putting out. I think they're solid. I think they're releasing them in pack weight that is decent, nothing super crazy. These cards, the pack weights actually about the same as last week with the Foot Captains Team 1 items. But the difference is, and basically what it boils down to is that there wasn't as much saved up packs. There was a lot of saved up player picks, but those obviously don't supply those cards tradable on the market. Whereas packs and saved up packs like we had last week with Team 1, those are coming out on the market tradable and that brings a lot of supply. So hopefully they update the Marcelo price range, honestly. That's one of the biggest things that I would be loving to see on this game at the moment now. He's like incredibly hard to snipe if you're trying to snipe this guy. I honestly think this Marcelo, I'm kind of getting like flashback or not flashback. I'm getting Winter Wild cards as a lot of time vibes with this card. I think that he is going to be worth more than 1.3 million coins when he gets that price range update. His card would be very rare regardless.  And just the fact that it's Marcelo's first special card of the year, he's very, very hyped. I think he's worth probably somewhere around like the 1.7, 1.6 million coin range after a price range update whenever that is gonna happen. So if you're trying to gamble on one of those, I mean, I would just keep a very, very close eye on the market and hope that, that price range update comes very soon. But I would also feel pretty confident in the fact that he would be worth more than 1.3 million whenever that price range update does happen. So that was kind of the content on yesterday. I mean, I think for most people, it was one of those days where, okay, promo team looks pretty cool. Let me open up my save player picks. If I saved any, Tim K Hill, SBC, not too bad. Again, I think it's coming in around 400,000 coins. Not the best, not the worst. A cool card for sure. So maybe some people went out and did this. But other than that, most of the hype yesterday, as it normally is on promo Fridays, was on the cards that are in packs on this game. So that's kind of, you know, there. Now, one thing I'll say today is we have a very interesting weekend with the fantasy foot items. Because for a lot of these players, this is their third league game. So there's going to be a lot of players that will get upgraded next week because of games that they play this weekend. So make sure you're keeping an eye on these trackers. There's one on foot, Ben, I believe. And there's, of course, the big one here by Mr. Criminal FIFA on Twitter. Parasitsch yesterday, after playing in his third game for Inter, he's gotten that full, all-inclusive plus three. You know, Caliaguri, all he needs a goal and assist in his next game or two, he's going to get that plus three. If Christian Erickson plays in the game this weekend for Brentford, he's going to get a plus three. With that final plus one. So for a lot of these cards that you see, like two green squares out of three, that means they are one game away. If they play and feature and just show up and are playing in this game this weekend if their team has one. If it's a league game, league game only. Again, for a couple of the players, like I know Liverpool City, just a couple of the teams, Chelsea and Crystal Palace are all the teams I believe that are in FA Cup this weekend. Those games do not count for these cards. So just be very careful with that. I know that will affect a couple of the items, like John Stones. It won't affect a game played for him because it's not a league game. But of course for a guy like where's Lucas Mora, who's already got his plus two, he's behind my face cam up here in the top right. Lucas Mora right up here. If he plays and gets subbed on early this morning in Spurs Brighton, he's going to get that plus one to get the final plus three in total. So that's kind of what the hype is with the fantasy cards. And again, once that plus three is obtained, I think this next week on Thursday and throughout the week, especially in the next weekend, you're going to see some of these cards that have attained their plus three, especially on the market for some of these. I think you're going to see them lose some value because a lot of the hype, again, as we've seen with road to the final cards as well, is that the, a lot of the hype is with the actual upgrade. So just be careful for that. Speaking of road to the finals, EA did the business and gave out some plus twos, man. Nobody believed us. Nobody believed us that they were going to give out plus twos, but that's what they deserved. And that's what they got. Mané with a plus two exploded in price yesterday after getting that upgrade. Walker's over 500K. The Joe Cole card probably helps out his price a little bit with that link there. And then Tiago and Mahrez also all got plus twos. So Gigi's to EA. A lot of the other road to the finals that got updated actually went down in price. I think Garrett Bale was one of those. And I literally think they went down in price just because, you know, again, like I mentioned, all the hype is in the cards for the upgrades. So when those upgrades go away, when the potential for more upgrades goes away, then you see the prices drop a little bit. So I might get involved right quick tonight with a Cordoba or another Abeddy Palais. I did buy an Abeddy at 1.31, just because I thought that was pretty low. And I feel like he's getting really rare and he might bounce back up. So if I see another one of those really low, and if I were to see a Cordoba, like I don't know, man, it's gotta be 940 or maybe 930. I think he's getting kind of rare again, bouncing back up towards that one million coin mark. I think some people might wanna go out today on the game and try out these cards. So I might put a few more coins into these cards, but I've got enough in them already where I might just be pretty careful and just go on my Saturday and try to make a couple of quick flips and get out of these cards. But again, like I mentioned, I bought this Abeddy yesterday if you guys were on the Twitch stream, bought it at 1.36 on a snipe, sold at 1.89 in a moment of rareness on the market. So that was 429,000 coins a profit. That was a huge, huge W. That was the biggest dub from yesterday. A lot of these other ones were like, I think 30 or 40K profit on cold, 10K profit on Diaz, bought this at 1.3 flat, bought this at 6.40. So some nice profits across the board. It was a good day to trade. There were a lot of market movements. But we'll see what happens today. We'll see if EA have any surprises for us with content as well. Again, we're gonna get another icon moments, SBC. But who is that going to be? Is it gonna be one of the big boys? We'll have to see. So have a good weekend, lads. Hopefully you enjoyed this video today. Have a good holiday weekend. We will have a video tomorrow night for the big day on Sunday with tomorrow being a lot of team of the season information. There'll be some more stuff to cover with that as well. And of course, whatever happens today on Saturday in FIFA 22. So if you enjoyed the video, leave a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate's Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace.


In order to assign a voltage to a standard half cell, we attach the half cell to a standard hydrogen electrode. Here we have a standard zinc half cell attached to a standard hydrogen half cell. Electrons flow from the zinc half cell to the hydrogen half cell. The voltage reads 0.76 volts. This indicates that the hydrogen half cell has a greater electron attracting ability than the zinc half cell. Half cells with a lower electron attracting ability than the standard hydrogen electrode are assigned a negative sign. The standard zinc half cell has a voltage of minus 0.76 volts.


Ladies and gentlemen, the Dennis Day Show. Since Dennis Day, Robert Iron Brewster in the orchestra, and Dennis Special Gather, Roseberry Clooney and Paramount's viewer star, Dick Shannon. And now here he is, the star of our show, Dennis Day. Most unusual day. Feel like throwing my worries away. As an old native born Californian would say, It's a most unusual day. There's a most unusual sky. Not a sign of a cloud passing by. And if I want to sing through my heart in the ring, It's a most unusual day. There is sunshine everywhere. And a feeling of spring in the air. It's a most unusual time. I keep feeling my temperature climb. If my heart would behave in it, well there's only one thing to say. It's a most unusual, most unusual, most unusual. Yes Jimmy, Roseberry Clooney is paying us a visit, and she's due here right now. Ladies and gentlemen, one of Paramount's loveliest singing stars, Miss Roseberry Clooney. Thank you Dennis. Roseberry, am I glad to see you. What did you want to see me about Dennis? Well look Roseberry, I'll tell you. In your next picture, you think you might be able to play opposite me? Well Dennis, this particular part calls for a big strong strapping rootin tootin Texan from Texas. Pardon me, you're looking at one. Where I come from, peas are the size of watermelon and four potatoes make a dozen, and you don't tell the kids about the birds and the bees. No sir, you tell them about elephants and hippopotamus. Tell me more Tex.  You sing me a right pretty little old song there now, and I'll give you a couple of trinkets for your charm bracelet. Rhode Island and Delaware. Delaware? No ma'am, I'm going to give you something to carry him home in. Grand Canyon. I'm going to hurry and sing before he wakes up. I just had the chance and I'm through myself, but it's you. To send wasn't small. Nowadays movies are going in for more realism. For this part we need a real honest to goodness rip roaring Texan. And I think the studio has just signed the ideal fellow for the part of this Texan. Who? Tennessee Ernie. Don't worry Dennis. I've got an idea for you that will utilize your talents perfectly. With this idea, every producer in Hollywood will be running after you. What is it? Say Rosemary. Well, it's Dick Shannon. Dennis, do you know Dick Shannon? Certainly, he's our other guest tonight. I invited him over to do a dramatic sketch. Good, I'll sit right here and listen. But wait a minute, you were telling me about a great idea you had for me in pictures. Later Dennis, right now I'm anxious to hear Dick Shannon. Well, okay. Ladies and gentlemen, in keeping with our regular feature presenting a new screen talent, tonight I have the pleasure of introducing Richard Shannon, six feet and 185 pounds of athletic physique, which spells outdoor action. Now he's cast as a telephone linesman in our dramatic scenario in a nutshell, written by Peter Curtis and titled, Dial 114. Dial 114 on your telephone and a pleasant, polite voice answers. Repair service. In response to your report of a buzzing on the wire or a bad connection, wheels are set in motion which expedite a truck full of equipment and a competent young man to make matters right for you. I'm Dan Baker. I'm a troubleshooter for the telephone company. You make a complaint, I'll make the repair. I had time for one more call before I knocked off for lunch. Well, what do you know? It's on Janesta Avenue, only two blocks from my house. Might as well go home and have lunch with the wife after this call. Maybe I shouldn't. Chris, my wife's been sure acting funny lately. Nervous light and jittery. The all began when she won the prize money in that radio giveaway program. You're a check for $2,500. Isn't it beautiful? It's pretty as a picture, Chris. What are you going to do with it? Frame it or buy the queen married? Neither. I've decided to put it in a savings account. But I thought you wanted so many things. A deep freeze at suede coat wall-to-wall carpeting for the house? I know all the things I wanted, Dan. I'm still going to bank it. I figured at the time that maybe Chris had the right idea. Save her any day and all that. But conk me the wrong way was the fact she deposited the money in her own name. The trouble on Janesta Avenue turned out to be routine. A complaint that there was interference on the line and the reception was bad. After checking the chatterbox in the house and finding it okay, I went out to the telephone pole a couple of houses down. I strapped on my belt and climbers. As I prepared to go up the toothpick, I recognized it as the terminal pole of the neighborhood. I was on the gang that anchored it when we first got phones on our track. After checking the line, finding it all clear, I hooked my earphone to the lead wire from my own house. I intended to give my wife a buzz and let her know I'd be home for lunch. It must be her. Oh, we might as well call the whole thing off. Wait a minute, Chris. I'm not letting you call it off. It's just that I don't think I can get there before six. But you know Dan gets home at five? We've got to follow our original plan. I already withdrew my money from the bank. I got a certified check. I'll have to let a few things go. We'll do it. We'll take care of them later, Jimmy. All right, Chris. What about the car? Leave it to me, Jimmy. I'll make sure Dan goes to put it in the garage. Good. I'll make sure the garage door is closed. When he opens it, I'll be there waiting. I forgot about lunch. I wasn't hungry. The afternoon went by in a daze and it was five o'clock. Checked the truck into the company garage and headed the family sedan for home. I made up my mind to let them go through with what they planned. Without Chris, I'd be dead anyway. That's the way I feel about her. I can't help it, even now. There she is. The same sweet smile. The same wave of the hand. Pretending to water the lawn while she waits for me. Ways to send me to mine. Hi, Chris. Open the garage door, will you? Just the way they planned. What about the car? Leave it to me. I'll make sure Dan goes to put it in the garage. Good. I'll make sure the garage door is closed. When he opens it, I'll be there waiting. How do you do, Mr. Baker? My name's Jim Darling. Jim Darling? That's right. My sister Frances is married to your next-door neighbor. Your wife, Chris, and I hatched up this surprise. Here are the keys to your new car. What? My new car? Just because you forgot your own birthday don't expect me to forget it. Happy. Happy birthday. What about the idea you had? You know where the picture producers will be running after me to make use of my talents? Oh, yes. Well, this is it. Did you see High Noon, three coins in a fountain, and the High and the Mighty? Sure. Well, all these movies had theme songs written about the picture's title. They all became hits and played a big part in the picture's success. Good for them, but where do I come in, huh? You will sing the title songs for pictures that don't have any songs as yet. That sounds like a great idea. How would this title song be for the picture, Louis Pasteur? Louis Pasteur, Louis Pasteur is a name that's highly prized. Every cow that's in the pasture now gives milk homogenized. That's the idea, all right, but Louis Pasteur was associated with pasteurized, not homogenized. I know, but this is the son of Louis Pasteur, so I brought it up to date. Tell us, these songs have to be serious. Now, here's one about the picture, Magambo. Okay. Kangaroos were jumpin' and the snakes all hissed. Every leopard spotted us this time we kissed. Baby, we were smoochin' and the rabbits yelled more. They were keepin' the score. It was down in Magambo. They were doin' the mambo to a Dixieland combo. Magambo. Those words are beautiful, Rosemary. Now, here's one that should be a smash, and it goes like this. A barefoot contessa left me singin' the blues When in the middle she went home to get her Second thought, Dennis, maybe we're just too late. Well, it could be. You see, everything in Hollywood goes in cycles, and maybe, Rosemary, this cycle is over. Well, what do you think the big trend is right now? Well, it seems to me like they're all on a western kick and all those westerns that they're making have the same story. I hadn't noticed. Oh, sure. It always starts with the handsome stranger riding into town and saying, there's something funny goin' on here and I'm gonna stay here till I find out what it is. And you know something? He always stays. You can't blame him.  The thing that always puzzled me was the scene in the lonely farmhouse where the doctor would be up all night constantly calling for boiling water. What was he doing behind that closed door for so many hours? Well, as Dr. Christian would say, I am a country doctor. I'm behind those closed doors. I am performing of service to humanity. I get little money. I travel many miles through snow and sleep and work long hours with no sleep. I know, doctor, but what do you do with all that boiling water? I make instant coffee. Are the teenage pictures like Margie, Junior Miss, and Kiss and Tell? Dennis, I've got an idea. Why don't we do a scene from a teenage picture? I'll be the teenager. You'll be my boyfriend and Jimmy Wallington will be my father. All right. Bobby, would you give us a little teenage music? I feel so super. That must be my super date, Dennis. I'm peachy and super terrific. Let's ankle along. I'm rosy. The gang's all out in my hot rod. Oh, super ginger, creamy peachy. Who's in the car? Well, there's Bobby and Kay, George and Helen, Tony and Sue, Bill and Betty, Judy and Frankie, George and Elsie, John and Marsha, Bobby and Doddy and Gertrude, and some sailor. I'm going to meet my boyfriend. He's real, real George. What a peculiar name. Oh, hello, Dennis. Hello, Mr. Fenster-Macher. Dennis, I expect you to take good care of my rosemary. Oh, don't worry. I'll get her home before 12 o'clock, Mr. Fenster-Macher.  Thanks, Mr. Fenster-Macher.     Hey, what am I supposed to do? Give you a dress to your father. I'm taking him to the dance. He's the one about the boy, girl, song and dance team. She gets a big chance to leave the act and to go out on her own, but she refuses. Yes, she won't leave him because they've been saving box tops together. And they need only 10 more to get a pair of three suits marked his and hers. Yes. They're sitting on a lonely, deserted park bench and suddenly a 28-piece orchestra plays the introduction for their duet. See, son, babe, in broad daylight seem crazy. I may, son, hurts keep saying. Well, Dennis, that may be your idea of love, but here's mine. Every time you come around, my heart begins to pound. Baby, when we're squeezing, weather may be freezing, but in your arms it's 90 o'clock. Every time you press my lips and in my fingertips see the stars explode and you say you're mine here. Up and down my spine here, I can feel a velvet glow. And hers and make it ours. Okay, let's put our heads and our ideas together. That's a swell idea. See, son, babe, in broad daylight seem crazy. Every time you press my lips. And I love the way you played the scene earlier in the show. You know, I can see now why Paramount has cast you in such pictures as White Christmas and Sabrina. You're very kind, Dennis, but what interests me right now is how did Dennis Day get his start? Like this, listen. Promise me if you never come I'll still promise me. This week our guest will be Corky Hale, sensational swing harpist and that great showman and comedian Ken Murray. Join us then, won't you? This is Rosemary Plunie and Dennis Day saying...


With cold and flu season going around and COVID still going around, a lot of people are wondering what they can do to increase their immunity. Now, the people that I see, my patients that are the most susceptible, people that are falling into the category of weak or low immunity, they often catch colds, they often catch flus, or at the most extreme, they catch everything that's going around. You know, it's a direct quote I've heard from somebody, I catch everything that goes around. So obviously that's a little bit, you know, worrying and a bit fear inducing if things are going around and you tend to catch everything that goes around. In this video, I thought I would talk a bit about low immunity in the concept or within the framework of Chinese medicine. It's something that I see very often. And I think the treatment is so unique and the underlying ideological factors, the predisposition to weak immunity is something I would not have guessed until I was in the field of Chinese medicine. So I thought it would be very useful to share in today's video. Hey, guys, Dr. Alex Hein, author of the health book Master of the Day and Chinese Medicine Doctor. Now, before we jump into today's video, two very important links right below it. The first is if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles, or virtually throughout California via telemedicine, the link below this video is for the contact info for my private practice. So you can get ahold of me that way. The second link is for a free download, which is for daily rituals that can help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine. And that is you'll also get a free weekly video newsletter of these latest videos. So those are right below this video. Now, does this sound like you? You know, we discussed that there are certain people that have low immunity.  And other people with low immunity are frequently catching things all the time. But I would say, besides low immunity, these kind of people that have a high susceptibility are also prone to seasonal allergies, sinus congestion, sinus pressure, sinusitis, nasal pressure and nasal congestion, stuffy noses. And on the other side, digestive problems, bloating, SIBO, excessive gas production, sometimes low appetite, a lot of fungal bacterial things. What we often see is that the underlying predisposition towards low immunity is often gut in the Chinese medicine perspective. And that's why I want to take some time to talk about an organ system that we have talked about prior. But one of them specifically is the tie in organs. So the lung and spleen or spleen pancreas. So let's talk about these a little bit more. When I think about the patients that I have that have low immunity, I would say the biggest bucket, the largest swath of them, generally are thinner body types, generally are usually run more on the cold side, generally are very prone to stuffy noses and food sensitivities. And sometimes even just fatigue and temperature changes. If the AC comes on, they hate it. Sometimes they can be light sleepers or a little bit more anxious types. They tend to be more delicate people in general. And this kind of somatotype, this kind of body type, genetic type, this person is really prone towards a susceptibility towards digestive problems, like the aforementioned fungal and bacterial SIBO. And in addition, allergies, sometimes asthma, but also this low immunity picture. So Chinese medicine has this concept that the spleen generates the blood, but the spleen is also related to the immune system for sure. And from our perspective, good digestion generates good resources, if I can call it that loosely. And one of the ways you know that is that even in cancer care, patients that have their blood values are not looking good due to the chemotherapy and all the treatments, they're often given in integrative settings formulas that in Chinese medicine, you may not directly think affect the blood. But what they actually do is they're working on the spleen and digestion. And so those functions related to the digestion, the formulas that we use will often improve patterns like for example, anemia and fatigue. So the spleen generates the blood is that when this healthy digestion, the formulas we use to work on that process and this work on the small intestine, work on healing the gut lining will often generate better resources, which for us are chi and blood. But I like to think of it as better resources. So these kinds of people, because that, whether it's constitutional or genetic, that inherent mechanism is already weak, there's already a tendency towards poor digestion. The manufacturing of those resources sometimes is a little bit poor, or we call it deficient. And so what happens is, when you work on the tie in organs, the lung and the spleen, remember, there's almost this similar tissue type where people who have gut problems will often have sinus problems and, you know, frontal low grade brain fog and ear problems, and also asthma, shortness of breath, the mucous membranes are very delicate, very easily upset. When you work on one, the other will improve as well. So some famous formulas that we use that can work for digestion, you could just as easily use for an asthmatic or for someone who's always coughing and having mucous or a little bit of shortness of breath, you could use one for the other and both will improve. So the one of the origins of poor immunity, low immunity is gut problems. And mostly what I see is these are people who are constitutionally weak in that area. So they know they've had weak digestion, or they've come in as that is a problem prior for them already. So when it comes to the treatment and lifestyle factors that can help this, what I find for people is that working on the small intestine, whether it's via digestion and digestive health, a lot of these patients need to have more warming spicy herbs like cinnamon and ginger, if there are more on the cold side. And in general, what I find is that after a few months of treating this with formulas, as digestion gets much, much better, fatigue goes away, some of that heaviness or that brain fog and some of the ear or sinus problems improve or go away. After that, usually when the gut and the small intestine is strongly built up and healed, then the immunity is much, much stronger.  And that's the clear sign that the immunity and the body is moving in the right direction. So what I see clinically is one of the main roots of this is the digestion, the tie in organs, which we associate with the lung and the spleen. And by working on that, you will often see immunity improve. There are other methods as well and other organs we sometimes have to work on, depending on the level of exhaustion and what's going on with the body. But that is a common, very, very common one that I see. And there's often a very common even body type that you see that is susceptible to this. So that's what I have for you today on low immunity, something very, very important, you know, going into the fall, even though I'm in California, I am seeing this wave of everybody catching a cold or everybody catching a flu that is susceptible to it. So that's something that is worth knowing at this time of year. Again, before you guys go, if you'd like to become a patient of my locally in Los Angeles or telemedicine virtually throughout California, the link below is for my private practice contact info. And there's also a free guide for daily rituals that could potentially help you add years to your life with Chinese medicine. And again, there are two related videos for you right here that can help as well.


I ask a third question. I bring back the question. To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the approval of the Scottish Police Authority budget, in light of reports that capital funding shortfalls have left Police Scotland using patrol cars that are over a decade-old. The Scottish Police Authority considered and approved its budget for 2019-20 at its meeting on 28 March 2019, the total Scottish Government funding for the SPA in 2020 is increasing by £42.3 million, meaning that the annual policing budget is now over £1.2 billion. That includes significantly a 52 per cent increase to the capital budget. In relation to its investment in fleet, Police Scotland will continue to ensure that it provides a fleet that is fit for purpose, safe, reliable and sufficiently flexible to be responsive to the dynamic nature of policing that is outlined in its fleet strategy. The chief constable, Ian Loviston, has said, and I quote, Our maintenance team is doing an excellent job. We have over 96 per cent of the fleet on the road across a multitude of demands that are prioritising the capital budget. We have been allocated and investing in the right areas to achieve as much as we can as quickly as we can. Liam Kerr. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. It was revealed this week that 250 of Police Scotland's patrol cars are over 10 years old, and some vehicles have up to 200,000 miles on the clock. The chair of the SPF told her conference last week that the fleet is, and I quote, a disgrace. A straight question for the cabinet secretary. Does he think that it is acceptable that officers are having to apprehend criminals in vehicles held together with duct tape? I mean completely and utterly crying crocodile tears from a Tory MSP that, when we brought forward the capital budget increase of 52 per cent, he and his colleagues voted against that budget. 100 million pounds resource protection up until 2021, and Liam Kerr and his party voted against it. 125 million pounds in VAT that Police Scotland had to pay, and no other force in England and Wales had to pay. You have done he-haw about it, so if you forgive me, if he spares me the crocodile tears, I will tell him a little bit more about those figures that he quoted. Vehicles more than 10 years old, actually 268. Only five of them are on the front line. The vast majority of them are non-front line response vehicles. When he talks about vehicles that are over 200,000 miles on the clock, he says that there is one vehicle that is over 200,000 miles, and that is a non-operational vehicle that is used as a training tool for armed policing. A bit of context and maybe a lack of the crocodile tears would be much better if he supported us in the budget that is increasing capital for police as opposed to a Tory Government that is taking away our VAT that no other force in England and Wales has to pay. Liam Kerr. I hear the cabinet secretary's response, but he knows full well that the Scottish Conservatives cleaned up their mess on the police and fire VAT and put 25 million back into the front line each year. Last week, the Scottish Police Authority approved their annual budget. Thanks to the SNP's cuts to the capital budget, it says that repairs and maintenance of buildings will be reduced, worn out inefficient cars will not be replaced and the force will continue to rely on several outdated and disconnected IT systems. The cabinet secretary frequently hides behind the operational matter defence, but he can't do it this time. The SNP has been in charge of the police service for nearly 12 years, so a straight question, cabinet secretary, because you struggled with the last one, surely he will agree with me that our officers deserve better than this. The SNP is a Tory Government that pinches 125 million off them, does not pinch it off police forces. In England and Wales, you have pointed at me, you should be pointing at his colleagues south of the border, who have stolen that money from Police Scotland. Let's just take the Tory's budget plan. They would have taken 575 million out of Scottish budget. The police officers wouldn't be around in police cars, they would be riding around in rickshaws if him and his party were frankly in charge. There is the issue of the VAT, the Tory budget plans, which would take 575 million out of policing and out of budgets in total. Let me give them a little bit of correction, a bit of context, around some of those figures. The average fleet age is five years old. The average unmarked police car has a mileage of 57,000 miles, not 200,000 miles. The overall vehicle availability is 96.4 per cent against a benchmark of 95 per cent in the rest of the UK. Of course, budgets will be constrained, no doubt, in fact, and in significant part, down to the decade of austerity imposed on us by the Conservative Party. Instead of carping from the sidelines, crying those crocodile tears, how about he supports a budget that we have put forward of a 52 per cent capital uplift, and then of course we will continue to invest in the police while his party continues to decimate the police. Liam McArthur, full by Richard Lyle. Thank you very much. As the Liberal Democrats' freedom of information request uncovered, a quarter of the police force's fleet has clocked up between 100,000 and 200,000 miles. Frontline officers say that the fleet is not just a disgrace, but also inadequate. Recently, in Fife, only two of nine police vehicles were road-worthy. The lack of resources was a consistent theme in the 2015 police staff survey. That survey was supposed to be repeated in 2017. Will the cabinet secretary now ask the national force to bring forward the long overdue survey to find out what staff now think about the tools that they are given? I am not there to interfere in operational matters for Police Scotland, but I should say to Liam McArthur that the same context applies to the question that Liam McArthur asked, but I remind him that, although I am having a go at the Conservatives for withholding VAT, it was Sir Danny Alexander, the treasurer at the time, of course, who made the decision to withhold that VAT. It would be helpful to have his support to get that VAT back from the UK Government. As I say, we will continue to invest in the police. There is £100 million resource protection for the police. There is a 52 per cent uplift in capital. Yes, where Police Scotland can get that feedback, be it from the trade unions such as the Police Federation or, indeed, directly from the members. Of course, he is welcome to encourage Police Scotland to do that, because feedback from police officers is, of course, important. I have to tell you that, when we give them a 6.5 per cent historic pay rise, the feedback has been one to welcome that. I always listen to police officers. We will continue to listen to them and to have engagement with the Scottish Police Federation, but I would be helpful if other political parties—I understand why Liam Kerr will not do it—were to be helpful if other political parties, Liberal Democrats, got on board and demanded that £125 million VAT back from the UK Government. Richard Lyle, to be followed by Daniel Johnson. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Just for the avoidance of doubt, could the cabinet secretary reiterate what percentage capital uplift there will be this year for the police in the Scottish budget? Perhaps, could he again remind the chamber which parties voted against that increase? Of course, all the political parties, with the honourable exception of the Green Party, voted against a budget that would have seen a 52 per cent uplift in capital, a revenue protection for Police Scotland, a funded historic pay rise for police officers, which is described by the Scottish Police Federation as the best uplift to police officer pay in 20 years. Those political parties will have to answer for that. Of course, there is a genuine question here in and around the capital allocation. I am happy to explore that. I have said that very publicly in the record at the sub-committee on policing that I am happy to look at this question of a capital allocation, but let us not talk down the good work that the maintenance and fleet repair team at Police Scotland do that are keeping our vehicles not just on the road, but 96 per cent of our vehicles on the road responding to emergency incidents. They should be congratulated as opposed to belittled by the other parties in this chamber. The paper that was submitted to the SPA board last week exposed issues with the capital budget that go far beyond simply the fleet. It shows a £43.1 million capital allocation against a request of £99 million. It shows a capital budget that is the fifth worst in the UK, despite the fact that we have the second largest police force. Indeed, if you compare it with the Metropolitan Police, their capital budget per officer is almost five times higher than that of Police Scotland. Has the cabinet secretary had discussions with senior officers who submitted those papers about their concerns about the shortfall in capital expenditure from this budget? Can I just make again the point that I have made to other political parties? He voted against a budget that gave a 52 per cent uplift. Not only that, his colleague sitting next to Miles Brown was the only one that came, but budget proposals honourably came, the only one that engaged. In fact, if we had listened to Labour's plans, there would have been a three per cent cut, let alone a 52 per cent uplift in Police Scotland's budget. He must reflect on his position before coming here, demanding more money. When it comes to the capital question, yes, I have engaged with Police Scotland, and the majority of its capital ask a significant part of their ask is for DDICT, an ICT project, which is of course very, very important. We will look at that, we will explore that, but of course he would expect me that for any ICT project to interrogate that, so yes, part of it is fleets, part of it is estate and a significant part of it is for ICT. Something that I have great sympathy for, but rightly we will make sure that we evaluate that and of course we will come forward with future spending reviews. This year's budget provides investment of £711 million in social care and integration, a 29 per cent increase over last year. Additionally, the report on the joint review of progress with integration of health and social care, which was published on 4 February this year, identifies a range of actions, including on integrated finances and financial planning, all of which are to be delivered by March 2020. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. The leaders of the Edinburgh board have refused to accept their funding deal, which was due to start yesterday. They have made £11.6 million worth of cuts already, but still face a further funding black hole of £12.6 million. Board member Mike Ash said that we cannot go on pretending that we can deliver the services that people expect with the money that we have. If he is being so honest, why can't the cabinet secretary? Edinburgh does not have enough money to care for its vulnerable, does it? I am going to repeat the answer that I gave last time. I am being completely honest, 29 per cent increase over last year in the budget. That is against, if I can just remind Ms Dugdale, a 6.8 per cent cut in real terms from the UK Government between 2010, 2011 and 2019-20 to this Government's budget. I do not accept that this Government has done anything other than absolutely prioritise the health budget, including health and social care. What I require integration authorities to do is to look at how they reform the delivery of their services in order to get the best value and deliver what patient care needs. That is both the health board and the local authority. Of course, as Ms Dugdale, I am sure, is well aware, the point of integration is to devolve those decisions to integration joint boards who should be best placed to determine what their local population needs with that significant additional funding from this Government. I do not accept the premise of her question. The Government with COSLA will continue to engage with those integration joint boards in order to help them to do the work that we need them to do where they have difficulties that they are facing. Can I say to the cabinet secretary that she needs to lift her head from her spreadsheet and look at exactly what is happening in the real world? In order to balance its books, Edinburgh is considering cutting mental health services and slashing its drug and alcohol partnership funding. On top of that, the FOI request from my office shows that there are 160 people in the city right now getting incomplete care packages, over 600 people waiting for a package to start and a whopping 1,200 people waiting to be assessed. If Edinburgh cannot afford to stand still, how on earth will 2,000 of my constituents get the help that they desperately and urgently need? Can I say to Ms Dugdale that it is a bit ironic to have someone from the Labour Party suggest that I live in the real world? Trust me, I live in the real world. It would be helpful to move away from the rhetoric and focus on what the jointly agreed plan with COSLA, including all those authorities that includes Labour-led and other authorities, has agreed with this Government in order to help to increase the pace and delivery of integrated health and social care. To the significant success in many parts of our country, every single one of our IJBs needs to improve what they are doing, but COSLA and I have committed to direct action to intervene and support where that is necessary. Once again, the chamber has to remember that, if you want to devolve decision making to local bodies such as IJBs, you have to allow those decisions to be made and not constantly want the Government to jump in and fix things because you do not like what the local decisions are. We have to allow that local flexibility, but where that does not meet the overarching priorities of this Government, then, of course, we will not act to assist them to do so. Miles Briggs, by Emma Harper. That is not about fixing things, it is about stopping them being smashed in the first place, because across Scotland we are seeing proposals to close care homes for alcohol and drug partnerships and primary care transformation funds, which the cabinet secretary says that she is passionate about to drive forward GP reforms, all being raided. The integration of health and social care is something that we all agree with across the chamber, but that is putting that at risk. That is not how it was meant to be. How will SNP ministers look now to what is the growing financial crisis across our IJBs? She wrote off £150 million of debt for health boards. It is clear that our IJBs will be in a similar position. What is she doing to monitor that and potentially work with IJBs to help them to address that record debt? Can I redirect Mr Briggs towards two things? First of all, a 26 per cent increase for the funding of health and social care integration. If you want more money for that area, you have to say where it is going to come from. I do not want to repeat where Mr Eustach has got to, but there is a bit of brass net going on here in terms of asking for more money and more resources into an area when the overall budget is not one that you and your colleagues supported at all. I redirect you to the joint review on integration and where it got to, and to the actions that were taken as a consequence of that. To the evidence that Councillor Corry and I gave to the committee on which you sit, the work that is going on with the IJB finance officers and the finance director in Scottish Government, the joint work that we are doing with COSLA, with those IJBs, to assist their financial planning, to work their way through where they have financial difficulties. However, I do not accept that there is a financial crisis—I never accept, Mr Briggs—the hyperbole that you choose to use in order to get to Morrill's newspaper headline. It is not true, and you need to deal with this matter seriously. I encourage all members—it is not just the Cabinet Secretary—all members to not use the term you. Do not refer to each other. Refer to all remarks through the chair and talk about the person who is talking to you and the third person who does not see you. Otherwise, the debate becomes very personal. Emma Harper. I am aware that Dumfries and Galloway health board manages its health budget without using a set-aside model. Can the cabinet secretary confirm whether the implementation of a set-aside budget has aided integration and can she confirm whether health boards and IJBs have discretion over its use? Emma Harper points to a really important part of the overall financial package for health and social care integration, which includes what is called set-aside funding, but it also includes the significant reserves that some of our IJBs have, which are not allocated to any specific purpose. Part of the overall work that we have agreed with COSLA is to put all that into the mix in order to ensure parity of funding across all our IJBs and to get the best use out of those funds. What is referred to as set-aside is a budget of money or allocation of money that is for the IJB to determine the best use of it, given its responsibility for planning and commissioning of local services. Some of that may then be used by a health board with the IJBs agreement to deliver particular services, particularly around unscheduled care, which is what the set-aside money is specifically targeted to cover, but it does not necessarily cover only that. However, the IJB is the decision maker in this area, and we have issued clear additional guidance to both our health boards and our IJBs to make sure that they understand that, and that will be part of the discussions that we continue to have with IJB finance officers, but also with our health boards going forward. Lewis MacDonald, to be followed by Alex Rowley. Thank you very much. The cabinet secretary wrote to the Health and Sport Committee last month to say that her expectation was that budgets for all integrated joint boards would be in place in advance of the start of the new financial year. Can she confirm that budgets for Scotland's other IJBs for 2019-20 have now been agreed, and when does she expect those budgets to be made public? My understanding is that the majority of budgets—I think that there were two outstanding budgets—has now been confirmed and agreed. That is my understanding that the majority of budgets for IJBs have now been agreed. There are some instances where we do not believe that the local authority has passed on the full amount of that additional £160 million that went from the health portfolio to local authorities for integrated health and social care for additional provision in integrated health and social care. There are one or two areas where we do not believe that the local authority has passed on that full amount. I am meeting Councillor Corry this afternoon. We will go through a number of areas, including the overall budget and individual IJB situations. That is my understanding in terms of the publishing of those. They should be publishing those within the coming weeks, but I will endeavour to get a final cut-off time and make sure that Mr MacDonald is aware of that. Alex Rowley I worry that the cabinet secretary's discussions with COSLA are failing to focus on some of the key issues. The former cabinet secretary for health argued in here just a month or so ago that there needs to be bridging funding put in place in order that, through time, the transfer fee acute into primary could actually take place. That is clearly not happening today. Embed blocking is further up. Does she agree with that? Does she agree that the former health secretary also talked about the Alaskan model? There is a crisis there, and it is not about who blames who. The fact is that people who are trying to access community care in Scotland are feeling that crisis when they do so. That is largely what the set-aside money was designed for, was to act in some way as that bridging fund. For example, the IJB in Dundee used set-aside money and some of their reserves to engage in a bit of a service redesign and transformation in order to ensure that, sustainably in the longer term, the services that they were planning and commissioning could be delivered. We have some IJBs who have sought to use their reserves and, in part, set-aside money to do precisely that, which is the point that I have made before when we have discussed integration of health and social care. Across the 31 partnership areas, we have some areas that are doing well in some aspects of their work, others doing less well in those aspects and so on. It is a mixed picture, which is precisely why the work with COSLA is very targeted. It is targeted to look at those IJBs where there are areas of improvement that are required, either in financial planning or in the work on delayed discharge, which, as it happens, the statistics published today, show a reduction in the numbers of delayed discharge over the previous month—not good enough yet, but going in the right direction. That is the kind of focus that we have between ourselves and COSLA, in addition to the regular work that my officials engage in directly with the chief officers and the finance officers, as well as with the health boards themselves. I think that we are aware of the challenge. We are trying in that integration review and the actions from that to take specific targeted action. In addition, as Mr Rowley knows on the specific issue in Fife, that work continues to try to resolve the particular legacy deficit that the IJBs started with. I think that we are moving in the right direction and are very focused. That is not to say that there is not more that we can do, and we are very open to any additional measures that members may think that we should take. Thank you very much, and that concludes topical questions. We will return now to a point of order from Patrick Harvie. Apologies, Presiding Officer. I am very pleased that we are going to have the opportunity to debate the climate change bill at stage 1 this afternoon. As you will be aware, that is an issue about which many, many people across society are deeply concerned. As we have seen from the rally outside Parliament, where many, many people have been calling for changes to strengthen the bill, they knew that they had to organise a rally outside Parliament because the rules on events inside Parliament state that events and exhibitions must respect the wide range of existing channels for influencing parliamentary business by not lobbying on parliamentary business under current consideration. I was surprised therefore that members are walking up towards the chamber past a large corporate exhibition for the fossil fuel industry, an industry whose very existence is directly relevant to the climate crisis that the bill exists to address. And indeed, aside from the existence of that industry being relevant to climate change, the material that they are promoting today does include explicit discussion, a document like this one about energy transition in low-carbon. Mr Harvie, how do you get to the point of order, please? Of low-carbon targets of government, climate policy and targets. Mr Harvie, this is a political point now. Can you get to the point of order? I would like to ask why the apparent double standards exist that mean that pro-climate action campaigners need to organise events outside Parliament, but the fossil fuel industry, which is implicated in causing this crisis, is lobbying inside Parliament on a day when debating the bill? Thank you very much, Mr Harvie. It is open to any member in the chamber to organise an event in an exhibition. Those events are planned well in advance. They are covered by the events in the exhibition rules, not by the lobbying, which is a different matter altogether, and that is not a point of order for this chamber. I hope that it is a further point of order, not another argument about the point. I am, of course, happy to accept your ruling that you think that it is not a point of order. I would be grateful for some clarity as to how members can see that this rule will be consistently applied in the future, as it has not been today. That is not a point of order. There are plenty of procedures to deal with these matters outside the chamber. We are going to turn to our next item of business, which is a debate on motion 1, 697, in the name of Roseanna Cunningham, on stage 1, debate on climate change emissions reduction targets Scotland bill. I could invite all members who wish to speak or to contribute to the debate to press their request to speak buttons as soon as possible.


Welcome to the Darren Marlar Radio Show! That's me, I'm Darren Marlar, glad to have you with me! And coming up on today's show, does your diet have a five-day schedule or a seven-day schedule? Or do you even think about that? Well, I'm gonna explain what I mean by that coming up here in just a few minutes. What do doghouses, Disneyland, and crazy socks all have in common? Well, they all make their way into today's weird holidays coming up later on. You may have heard about seasonal affective disorder or sad, but did you know that it happens in the summer for some people, not just the winter? I've got some details on that coming up later in the show as well. I also have a new reason to enjoy my afternoon naps, as if I needed another reason. I love my afternoon naps, but now I actually have a legitimate excuse for it and I'll give that excuse to you later on. Rocket scientists, they get lost in their own neighborhood. True story. A man blames his gambling problem on prescription medication that he's not prescribed to. We got our brain on drug story coming up later on. And if you find a thousand dollar bill, should you put that in the bank, I will tell you yes or no to that question. All of that and a whole lot more coming up on today's Darren Marlar Radio Show. Before we begin though, I would like to say that if the show does not work out today, afterwards we're all going to meet at Burger King and stick french fries in our ears and take pictures. Uh oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mundus. Attention everyone, this is the Darren Marlar Radio Show. Hi, I'm Darren Marlar. Welcome to the Darren Marlar Radio Show. Well, Monday through Friday, those are the most important days for your diet. Eating well during the week, that appears to be far more important than the occasional weekend splurge, according to Finnish and American researchers who examined how the seven days a week human cycle impacts weight. And they found that almost everyone loses weight during the week and then gains weight on the weekends. Does that sound familiar? Well, you are not in the minority on that. Those who were most likely to lose or maintain weight, they weighed the most on Sunday evening and the least on Friday morning. Now, while those who gained weight, they really didn't have much of a clear pattern. So why? Well, it's simple. See, on weekdays we tend to have a regimen, right? You know, we have a pattern, a rhythm, a schedule for our meals and our snacks. But on the weekends, well, our schedules, they're a lot more open-ended and they give us more food and alcohol temptations. I am Fat Boy. What do doghouses, Disneyland and crazy socks all have in common? Well, they all make it into today's weird holidays coming up shortly. Hi, I'm Darren Marlar. Welcome to the Darren Marlar Radio Show. Employers, you would better watch out. Your workers can't wait to quit. According to a survey by job placement firm Manpower, 84% of employees, they plan to look for a new position in the next year. That's up from just 60% last year. Yeah, tell me about it. I can't wait to get away from my boss. Oh, wait a minute. I probably shouldn't have said that on the air. Uh-oh. Important assignment. Important assignment. Did I make it clear that your job is at stake? You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there. I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.  I don't like my job and I don't think I'm going to go anymore. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements. I hated him. Of course you hated people work here. What the devil is that you? Welcome back to the Darren Marlar radio show. Time now for today's weird, wacky, strange, zany, odd, bizarre, quirky, unusual holidays. Today is Monday, July 17th, 2017. You now have 161 shopping days until Christmas. Time to panic. Today is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day, a very popular day with married men. Today is Wrong Way Corrigan Day. It was on this date in 1938 that Douglas Wrong Way Corrigan left New York for Los Angeles, but he wound up in Ireland. Gee, this Mississippi River is a lot wider than I thought it'd be. Today is Disneyland Day, America's first theme park opened on this date in 1955 in Anaheim, California. You know what, I have never been to Disneyland. I never really cared for the amusement parks, having hamburgers the price of two gallons of gas, the sun frying me to a crisp because I'm a redhead with very, very fair skin, standing in line for an hour and a half in order to ride a roller coaster that takes 60 seconds. No, no, thank you. This is Captive Nations Week.  And today is Wear Crazy Socks to Work Day. Absolutely true, I love crazy socks, but I don't wear them anymore. And I would like to think it's because I've matured a bit, but I know the truth is, again, this is true, Robin, my bride, she threw all of my Looney Tunes socks into the trash when she found out that I wore Daffy Duck socks during our wedding ceremony. No, I'm not kidding. I really did that. You may have heard about seasonal effective disorder, sometimes called SAD. Did you know, though, that it happens in the summer for some people, too? I got some details on that coming up. Hi, I'm Darren Marlar. A rolled up newspaper was apparently that can be a very effective training tool for your pet if you use it properly. For instance, use the rolled up newspaper if your dog chews up something inappropriate or has a house breaking accident. You're going to bring the dog over to the destroyed object or the mass or whatever, take that rolled up newspaper and then hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase, I forgot to watch my dog. I forgot to watch my dog. Why don't you get it to pay with some brains in it? Identify yourself. You're listening, too. It's a bad time. The master of ceremony, Darren Marlar Radio Show. Hey, welcome back to the Darren Marlar Radio Show. Well, if you think of the term seasonal effective disorder or SAD, well, your mind goes immediately to winter, right? But did you know that there's also a summer version of seasonal effective disorder? Both of them are caused by seasonal changes. In this case, it's light and heat that can disrupt the internal clock, which is responsible for your sleep and your hormones. So if light is your issue, well, you can stay inside as much as you can or try to force your body into a strict pattern. Half hour of light each morning, around 6.30 a.m., a consistent bedtime, that should help at least somewhat. Now, for the heat, you can crank the AC and also take some cool baths. Since SAD is annual, you might want to see your doctor next spring and ask how to proactively treat your summertime blues, according to Norman Rosenthal M.D. He's the author of Winter Blues and The Psychiatrist Who First Researched SAD. By the way, if you do want to read a little bit more about this, I have a link to the article at DarrenOnTheAir.com. That's DarrenOnTheAir.com. Darren is spelled D-A-R-R-E-N. I have a new reason to enjoy my afternoon naps. Totally stoked about this. I'll tell you why coming up here in just a few minutes. Welcome back to the Darren Marlar radio show. Just read yesterday that Macy's it's going to try Black Fridays in July in order to boost sales. And at first, I thought that is crazy. Black Fridays in July. I mean, what? Well, it sounds crazy until you realize that now is about the time that Walmart starts putting out all their Christmas decorations. You found. Coming up here in just a few minutes, rocket scientists get lost in their own neighborhood. I got that story for you. Coming up, I'm Darren Marlar and now there's a new reason to enjoy a snooze. I love this story. An afternoon nap, it can make you smarter. Researchers, they gave memory tests to 39 adults at noon and then again at 6pm. Half of them took a 90 minute nap between the tests.  Most people's ability to learn declines about 10% between noon and 6pm. But the nappers, they were able to overcome that decline. That's according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. And one of the researchers said, sleep is not just for the body. It's very much for the brain. So go ahead and take a nap today. In fact, as soon as I'm done here, that's exactly what I'm going to do. This delightful chance encounter goes south so quickly. Today's Brain on Drugs story is on the way and a man blames his gambling problem on prescription medication that he's not prescribed to. That story is coming up here in just a few minutes. I'm Darren Marlar. Two dozen Caltech students were rescued after getting stranded on the Mount Wilson toll road. Now, in case you don't know, Caltech, also known as the California Institute of Technology, it's the academic home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Caltech faculty and alumni received 32 Nobel Prizes for their achievements in science and engineering. The annual Mount Wilson night, when freshmen are initiated into the Page House dormitory at Caltech, started off as planned. The group had a large dinner and the young men and women were then taken to the Mount Wilson Observatory for the planned 10-mile descent down the road. A quarter-mile from the bottom, the group got stranded in Eaton Canyon where the landslide blocked their path. Rescuers were called in about 3 a.m. The students didn't have flashlights, warm clothes or the important supplies they would need. They went up those trails in the middle of the night without any safety equipment and no lighting is pretty stupid, said Deputy Greg Gabriel, who leads the Altadena search and rescue team.  Did I mention yet that these soon-to-be-scientist students were wearing Superman capes, tutus and other odd attire as part of this hazing stunt? You gotta remember that common sense it's not factored into the intelligence, quotient, said Deputy Gabriel. Come on, Caltech, this is not rocket science. Oh, wait, no. Yeah, actually, yes, it is. If you find a $1,000 bill, should you put it in the bank? Absolutely not. I'll tell you why coming up. I'm Darren Marlar. Welcome back to the Darren Marlar radio show. Well, a man blames his gambling problem on prescription medication that he's not prescribed to. A former Wall Street banker who said he lost $3 million from compulsive gambling, he's blaming the prescription medication Myripex. It's a popular drug used to treat Parkinson's disease. Randolph Simons, he's suing German drugmaker Böhringer Engelheim, Pfizer, and Pharmacia and Upjohn, claiming that when he took the drug from 2002 to 2007, he developed an insatiable appetite for gambling. A representative for Pfizer said the company has not made Myripex since 2005 when medical studies first linked the drug to compulsive behaviors, including gambling. So he obviously is using the drug illegally. Welcome back to the Darren Marlar radio show. That's me. Well, officials of the American Savings Bank in Munster, Indiana, they say a woman deposited two crisp $1,000 bills. Bank President Michael Mellon says they called the customer to have her take the bills back. Not because they were fake, but because they're worth a lot more money than the face value of $1,000. A rare coin dealer says those bills could be worth up to $4,500 each. The bills were issued in 1934 and they have been out of circulation for decades. The woman said she got the bills from a relative a few years ago. I'm Darren Marlar. Glad you joined me today. Thanks a lot for hanging out with me for a little while. I'm going to leave you today with this thought from Aug Mandino. Deliver more than you're getting paid to do. The victory of success will be half one when you learn the secret of putting out more than is expected in all that you do. Make yourself so valuable in your work that eventually you will become indispensable. Good night, ladies. Wait hard.
