Can I make 40 here? So I'm getting over the devastating Dallas Cowboys loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round on Sunday 19 to 12. I mean devastating for so many reasons the Cowboys almost played good enough to win Devastating knowing that Dak Prescott is locked in to an expensive contract to be our quarterback the next two years and He is at best a mediocre quarterback.  I Mean inside because the San Francisco 49ers came over during warm-ups to intimidate Brent Maher and the Cowboys puncture Brian Anger and And The Cowboys, you know, let them get away with it. I'd let them interfere With the kickers appropriately warming up for the game. So I'm here at Watson's Bay this thing to them and quarter And she's talking with John Tierney. She says that plastic good So John Tierney is kind of resident conservative at the New York Times So John Tierney here on white plastic is good for the planet. Yes Yes, I always think it's the inventions of males that are the true liberators of women a vacuum So this is the end quarter interviewing John Tierney on a sub-staff Well, you know, and the plastic I was just talking to a friend of mine today in Los Angeles I don't have children but he was talking about Subjects changing babies diapers and he's talking about how it's actually it isn't gross because of these throwaway diapers And they have like kitty litter in the lining of the diaper. They said every once in a while He'd be at you know dinner party in LA with some in by-road types. Oh, no, we don't want to do that We get we get me use cloth diapers and we have kicked up every week and clean done brought back Well, how's that for the environment's all these trucks driving around to pick up your laundry, right? And what a great job for people are we doing cleaning your journey? That's really high quality where I mean I'm glad people a job But it's just you know, I mean that was something where the environment's had a campaign against that and then people started actually looking into the environmental impact And this was even before you know carbon emissions that became a big deal They bet how much water was involved how much energy was involved and they finally even the greens gave up and said if you really look at So John Tierney has a lot of contrarian perspectives, right? He says things that I I Wouldn't expect the contrary to the dominant narratives Interesting guy It's hard to say that either one is better for the environment and obviously one is a lot better for humans. Yes Yeah, I mean, I don't even care about the clean impact which you do get into I didn't argument with my contractor on whether The kitchen island should have a separate garbage can for recycling and I'm arguing with you Recycling is good, right? You know, I mean neanderthal could argue that recycling is not good but Is it really? So John Tierney and co represents some pretty strong arguments against This myth of recycling I mean, I am I am a bit of a germaphobe I think most normal people are and that had never even occurred to me just annoyed me that they want me to wash these things out and put them in different I worked for a big law firm in New York when I first got out of law school and they had their separate, you know Paper and plastic and then, you know, you'd work late at night see the cleaning ladies come around and they jumped them all into the same They are yeah, exactly.  They're more sales of thicker plastic You know they use it so many of the things big picture many of the things that we're told are virtuous Not really virtuous and many virtuous things that we could be doing right don't get much attention or encouragement So doing the virtuous thing usually requires some willpower and some extra effort So if you're gonna do the virtuous thing like it really should pay off It's gonna be an inconvenience takes time takes effort All right, then the virtuous thing should have a substantial payoff And they estimated that it increased bag-related emissions by at least 9% maybe doubled You know, I mean so you got more carbon in the atmosphere while everyone's looking around it's inconvenient Ship from China Also compared to paper bags, I think you said that in the landfill the paper bags are biodegradable bags Both of them they admit something something bad for humans or bad for the environment whereas plastic just it's there All right, I mean, it's perfectly stable doesn't do anything. I mean, there's methane that as the you know It just sits there It's basically in two biologists have gone in there and they can read the kind of hoarding instinct You know, I've written about typing a lot of studies of that. They're actually listening to Elliot Blatt. I mean Many of these regulations and many of the things that we're told to do He just gets the sense that it's you know bossy people wanting to boss Their social inferior is around right, so How many of these bossy directives actually are positive for the world? You know, how many of them are actually net neutral how many of them net negative and That's the thing with complicated issues like climate change like how much is it the people on the left? you know want to boss people around want to seize an opportunity to completely, you know take over the economy take over society and You know climate change is just the latest excuse just like when people want to get rid of Donald Trump They tried Russia gate and that failed then, you know, they ginned up black lives matter protests So how much of this do goodery is just people wanting to boss other people around Part Scottish so definitely on the type of side of things so Elliot Blatt How much is your happiness level being raised by the triumphant San Francisco 49ers victory on Sunday? And what do you think of the keys to the game? The NFC championship of San Francisco travels to Philadelphia All right, so presented by Amaral. We've got Elliot Blatt's keys to victory for the San Francisco 49ers NFC championship game But you can squish about a hundred plastic bags into one drawer the paper bags You know you pile up four of us taking off the entire drawer space Right, exactly. I mean it's it's so much more wasteful in so many ways, you know I mean the other thing about but recycling that Professor Jim Twigel is really good both my presuming and elitist in the temptation is one of them And he said that most of us like to think of ourselves who I'm not materialist. I don't need stuff I don't care about that stuff, but then we look at our garbage, you know And we really have a lot of stuff because it's the lipstick on the collar of our love affair with such it And there's this feeling that we can therefore if we recycle it somehow it's less we're getting rid of ellipsoid The other thing about the plastic is I was really interested to find out about this because I've been puzzling, you know for like a couple decades on why do people care so much about this Yeah, I guess this episode is art. Is it so much better for everyone? So it's there's always better products. I mean you're making people with disabilities use plastics bras instead of I mean papers So Elliot Blatt you live in the San Francisco Bay area. This is like a fantastic opportunity For you to bond with your fellow San Franciscans Like are you taking advantage of 49 at dominance?  Like are you taking advantage of that to You know start bonding Your fellow members of the Bay Area community start opening up some new social connections You know start Getting close to people Now while fully engorged Yes, this deep-seated human need to boss other people around now I think some people feel this much more profoundly than other people And it does seem to be primarily Something on the left rather than the right Thousands of years where the ruling classes would decree what products what foods and what clothes people could use and If the ostensible purpose and these really big in the late middle ages, you know, eventually enlightenment and the ostensible purpose Was the same as today's agreement when we're trying to curb And Elliot says the cowboys are homos and I agree Elliot and I mean that's a good thing. I mean that's a great thing So when I say the Dallas Cowboys are gay. I mean that is a compliment, right? This is a homophilic statement And but they never succeeded people, you know, they would ban anyone from using silk except priests They can move no one else could wear a silk for instance But people would just find another luxury product, you know to somehow show their status And they were incredibly elaborate like, you know, no one below the regular count is very impressed with the three silver stripes on it And nobody could reveal the hose unless you were a cavalier and and all these arcane rules And actually people would do go around enforcing these things sometimes But mostly I think they were just ignored they were and they never worked and the mystery the Mr. Scholar's Is a big, you know symposium on this and public said that why do they keep passing these laws that never achieved their purpose And the real answer was because they did achieve their purpose of making the upper classes feel better But you know that it yes, it marked the lower classes couldn't wear a silk, you know A silk dress and you could so this marks you off and if this sort of and it was the purgy and the I mean, this sounds very similar to today's environmental laws. It's the upper classes They're trying to impose their will and bully the lower classes They take advantage of their power Take advantage of their supposedly greater virtue And to bully ordinary people No, most people cast these laws You know Adam Smith brailed against him where he kind of said for people in the upper classes Who are the most wasteful, profligate people in society to be telling everyone else to curb it It's just it's just the height of hypocrisy.  I've been a plastic straw. So I'm doing my part And you know, I think today's sumptuary laws are They're not it's not just something that's stated. They're actually being of course You can't get plastic straws or plastic bags in new york whenever i'm going to California or new york from another state half of my suitcase are you know plastic bags from the grocery store And So I believe australia invented dual flush toilets Makes me really proud to Come from this country But there's a california legislature and hotels to offer those little plastic bottles or shampoo. It's like what what is Yes, yeah, so in california I shop at the Beverly Hills bristol farms and very fancy people there and they ask you when you're checking out paper or plastic I've I've always walked to bristol farms.  That's about the most dangerous thing Now an ordinary suburban parent is likely to do with their kid Range Rover while i'm walking home having to carry all these things with papers and cut it because I watch online Yeah, exactly Also, would you describe the doctor and the train and just reading those stories about how people would drink out of a communal cup So broses me out, right? No, it was called the common cup and and and drinking founds there would be this tin cup It was changed at the fountain at a railroad station and this doctor who started, you know, who started this campaign in Kansas Um, he saw he was on a train and these these tubercular guys with obvious tuberculosis are all just drinking and And then a family gets on they're drinking at the same cup and so You know, they had these great campaigns. There was this character. Um, the Dixie cups had they really were just wonderful asked them they had I mean, I would chose things like during the Spanish, uh, for epidemic They chose skeletons that now is no time for contingent drink Dixie cups, you know And they had a character named Phoebe snow. It was totally dressed in white and and it was let me see I think I actually have that thing somewhere here. Um, what did they say? Oh, yes, you know, but they would show we're sitting on a railroad train and it sat down You've been underwriting Stephen Crowder by 15 million dollars. Yeah, can you believe you? I got a 15 million dollar offer from daily wire now Your articles john in the New York Times since I was I'll be back


Actually, this is really just a simple image gallery website. Just the thing is I'm really into like virtual reality, like something like Oculus, Google Cardboard. And I just, I'm just traveling right now and just want to have some kind of gallery, photo gallery for the virtual reality. So just, I sort of build things with the Meteo. And because Meteo has such a really reactive kind of like framework, so, you know, in virtual reality, you don't really want to refresh your page, right? Like if you're looking at like some different kind of world. So just for the future feature that I'm going to make in future, like just I want to really want it to be a really reactive way. So it's just now just like simple, you know, just image gallery. Just so you can, oh, sorry, you can just move around. And actually, because I just need some, you know, some device to actually do it, like, or maybe you can try in your smartphone. But just a simple image gallery website, which is the, thanks to Meteo, it's really, the page transition is really fast. And somehow if some other user like make change the content, then you can be, immediately can see something like that. So it's just image gallery that I'm prototyping with Meteo. And it's not really much about, much more functional. How do you capture the picture? Oh yeah, the part is, I have some kind of camera. You want to take a picture here? Yeah, I can take a picture here. Oh, actually, you can actually Google it. Drive your school. Yes. Why is it drive your school? Yeah, seriously. You can actually look around and grab. Actually, if you have Android stop-on and if you have some like cheap Google Cardboard, which is you can mount your stop-on and you can actually wear it into your head. You can actually do some VR mode, which is split the screen in half and render with your different eyes. Blue and green. Is it? Excuse me? No, there's no blue and green. Air stop it. Yeah, it's true. So it's kind of like, simple gallery, this kind of camera, which is like, it has two camera with a fisheye lens range. So that's a special camera that you have? Yeah, but you can take this kind of picture with your stop-on too. I'm not sure about iPhone, but if you have Android stop-on, there's something called a photo sphere. So basically, you take a picture of every angle, like maybe you have to take a picture of more than 20 times. It's kind of really comfortable to take a picture. It takes really long. So just click function, it's just like post, just log in and just on the picture. Do you have to write the code for the image display? Excuse me? Do you have to write the code for displaying the image? Ah, this is just a, use a simple, I just use a library called 3js, which is kind of like, wrap the web jail, and you can use a really comfortable API. And also, you can support this kind of function. So we have two measures there, and we can sometimes do more. How does the image work? It's just, this actually image is really like flat. Let me see if I can show you the real image we made. Actually, just imagine the sphere. You can flex the sphere, this kind of like original image, and you can use the image as a texture of the sphere. So just for the camera inside the sphere, and just you seeing the texture is wrapping the sphere. That's how it works. There are usually, the stitching is a bit of a difficulty as well. So if you have to stitch, you have to stitch both sides. Ah, that part is on this camera, it does. That's the magical device. Yeah, that's the magical device. Also, it's the Android smartphone, the sport sphere function, that's that too. So that would be complicated. And if you have a map, you can put all these places on a map, and then combine it with the geodata. Yeah, you can do it. Probably test the metadata of your location, so let's combine with that. So I hope in the future, I'm going to add some kind of user interaction. So material reactivity helps make it more interesting. Is there any question? Do you see how you know it, and can you see it more in the camera? Yes. Thank you. Thank you.


Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year 11 a.m. update and a bit of a mixed bag. The mix is really coming from the Dow, which is up about 18 points, so basically flat. Other U.S. indices trading to the downside, S&Ps off 12 points, NASDAQ 137, the Russell's down 1% or 22 points, the semi is off 9 points. That's basically a flat move, but it's off quarter percent. These are down 90 points, a half a percent there. Gold is off 25 bucks, one and a quarter percent. Silver down two and three tenths or 57 pennies. Like we could as off 64 cents. Natural gas down seven pennies. 30 year treasury printed out at 123.07, that's off 1.07 ticks. Let's try to figure out what all that means by looking at that nine panel. Mark it up a chart. We begin the upper left-hand side. We can see that yesterday the Roadsman Dominicator top that was present was negated. But if you get another bearish reversal candle today, it'll be active once more. Spot follow tunics below its 50-day exponents moving average. That's always a positive for the bulls. The NQ still retains its Roadsman Dominicator top price, consolidated with inside his profile levels between the 15, 586 and 59, 67 area. U.S. dollar index on a tear, but it will complete a TD nine count top pattern today. That suggests that we should see price pull back further. Goldy locks just consolidated with inside his daily profile, fighting support at the bottom of that profile level on the daily base at 1983, as well as the center of its weekly at 1980, 80. Silver has just basically been consolidating sideways. Its key area of support is really the bottom of its weekly profile at 24, 15. Lights recruit needs a bearish reversal candle to confirm a sell the deep point pattern. Price is trading above just slightly above the top of its weekly profile until a bearish reversal candle forms. Price should target 84, 41 natural gas, finding support at the bottom of its daily profile. That level is down at the 255 area. So just a consolidation going on there. And with regard to the 30 year treasury, 30 year treasury right now is trading into it. Just expand this chart out. Give me a moment. It is trading into a swing point from all the way back here, March 2nd of 2023. In a close below 12312, well, that would suggest lower price. But we've got another swing point that formed a few weeks ago on July the 10th. So a lot of you watching here, I would say a close below 122.30 is going to lead to lower price inside that 30 year treasury bond. So folks, stay tuned for the Trader Zed show. But if you have to start your Tuesday, please have a terrific one. Thanks for joining us. We'll look forward to speaking with you again soon. Take care now.

Ahimsa or non-violence has been one of the core values of India which won its independence on its merits. When Indian freedom struggle and Mahatma Gandhi are remembered, the value and ideals of Ahimsa reverberates in the minds and hearts of people across the world and is known as the true cherished gift of India to the world. In the past, there was a lot of work to be done. When we went to Karmacharya, we were told that we had to leave the mobile. We had to make a phone call. We were told that we had to leave the phone. We were told that we had to leave the phone. In the second chapter of the Dhim-Dhim-Pittu chapter, it was said that the place of Ahimsa in the head of the Sambhidhana was the place of the Sambhidhana. But in the Sambhidhana, the place of Ahimsa was the place of the Ahimsa. So the idea of making this work was wrong. You have children. The idea of doing this work was wrong. As per the opinion of Neta Mohlen, who taught the sambhartha to the sambhartha? In the Zimmer Dhamma Block, when the top of the monarchy block was established, Minister Ranjhan Acharya, the Prime Minister of India, has given his full support to build a house. In the next few days, I will build a house. I will build a house. I will build a house. In the next few days, I will build a house. I will build a house. And at school, if anyone does the work, they will not be able to live for the society. If you do the work, you will get a house. These are two examples. In the past, the government of the BJP was in front of the government. And I am telling the story of Gurudpur, the police who was the chief of the central government. What kind of a two-faced character is he? He is a man with a strong heart and a strong heart on the road to the kingdom. This is Argus Mewch, the son of the 8th prince.

Hello everyone, I am Mrs. Sunita Doh. The topic covered here is Structured Query Language nested subquery. What is subquery? A subquery or inner query or nested query is a query within another SQL query and embedded within VAR clause. SQL has an ability to nest queries within one another. Learning outcome At the end of the session, students will be able to write the query for given problems statement using SetMembershipOperator and SetComparisonOperator. SQL provides a mechanism for nesting of subqueries. A subquery is a select from VAR expression that is nested within another query. Subqueries provide an easy and efficient way to handle the queries that depend on the result from another query. It returns the data that will use in the main query as a condition to further restrict the data to be retrieved. SQL executes the innermost subquery first then the next level. A common use of subqueries is to perform the test for SetMembership, SetComparison, TestForEmptyRelation and TestForTheAbsenceOfDuplicateTouple. In this video, we are going to cover the SetMembership and SetComparison. There are few rules for, there are few rules that subquery must follow. Subqueries must be enclosed within parenthesis. A subquery can have only one column in the select clause unless the multiple columns are in the main query for the subquery to compare its selected column. An order by command cannot be used in the subquery although the main query can use an order by clause. The group by command can be used to perform the same function as the order by in a subquery. Subqueries that return more than one row can only be used with the multiple value operator such as in operator. The between operator cannot be used with a subquery. However, the between operator can be used within the subquery. SetMembership, the in connective TestForSetMembership where the set is a collection of values produced by a select clause. The not-in connectives test for the absence of set membership. SQL, in and not-in operators are used to specify multiple values in the where clause. The in and the not-in operator can also be used on the enumerated sets. Syntax for the set membership is select column names from table name where column name in or not in in bracket select statement. Syntax for the set membership on the enumerated set is select column name from table name where column name in or not in in bracket value 1 comma value 2 and so on. Consider the example of set membership on the enumerated set. Find all the customers that are lived in Brooklyn, Harrison and Ray. So the relation required is customer which consists of customer name, customer street and the customer city. Tupper shown in blue box indicate all the customers that are lived in Brooklyn, Harrison and Ray. Result shows that 5 customers are lived in the Brooklyn, Harrison and the Ray. The query for this example is select star from customer where customer city in in bracket Brooklyn comma Harrison comma Ray. If we replace a capital B in the customer city Brooklyn by small b in the where clause as shown in the query then the result contains only 4 tuples. This result does not contain the tuple where the customer city is Brooklyn that is capital B that is the second tuple having the name Brooks shown in the red box. So the names used in the enumerated set is case sensitive. Consider an example of set membership not in operator. Find all the customers that are not lived in the Brooklyn, Harrison and the Ray. Tuples shown in the blue box indicate all the customers that are not lived in the Brooklyn, Harrison and the Ray. Results show that 7 customers are not lived in the Brooklyn, Harrison and the Ray. So the query can be written as select star from the customer where customer city not in in bracket Brooklyn comma Harrison comma Ray. Consider one more example find all the customers who have both an account and a loan at the bank using set membership. So the relation required are depositor and borrower. In this example customer Hayes Jones and Smith have an account as well as loan at the bank. Hence the result of this query consists of these 3 tuples. The query using set membership operator in can be written as select distinct customer name from borrower where customer name not in sorry in bracket select customer name from depositor. Now consider the example find all customers who have and loan but not an account at the bank. Here we have to use the set membership operator not in the relation required are depositor and the borrower. 3 customers Adams Curry and Williams have and loan in the bank but not the account. So the result consists of these 3 customers. Query using set membership operator not in is written as select distinct customer name from borrower where customer name not in in bracket select customer name from depositor.  Syntax is select column name from table name where column name comparison operator sum or all select column name from table name where condition. F comparison operator sum R this is equivalent to their exist T belongs to R such that F comparison operator T where the comparison operators can be less than less than equals to greater than greater than equals to equals to and not is not equals to. Here some examples using the set comparison operator sum are given equals to sum is identical to in whereas not equals to sum is not the same as not in. Example find all the branches that have greater assets than some branch located in Brooklyn. The relation branch consist of branch name, branch city and the asset so we have to find all the branches that have greater assets than some branches located in Brooklyn. So first we find the asset value at the branch city Brooklyn. So there are 2 such asset value 71 lakh and 90 lakh and the branch name are Brinton and downtown respectively. Now we have to find all the branches that have greater assets than some branch located in Brooklyn. So 2 such tuples are second and 8th where the asset value is greater than the asset value 71 lakh and 90 or 90 lakh at Brooklyn branch. In second tuple for the branch name downtown asset value is 90 lakh which is greater than the asset value 71 lakh at branch name Brinton located in the branch city Brooklyn and in 8th tuple for the branch name round hill asset value is 80 lakh which is greater than asset value 71 lakh at the branch name Brinton located in the branch city Brooklyn. Hence the result contain these 2 tuples downtown and round hill with asset value greater than some branch located in the Brooklyn. The query for this example using set comparison operator sum is written as select branch name from branch where asset greater than sum in brackets select asset from branch where branch city is equal to Brooklyn. Till now we consider various set membership using in and not in operator and the set comparison using operator sum. Now pause this video and reflect on this question for a minute or two minute and write your response. Once you return the answer to this question then you can restart playing this video. Now question is what is the output of following query? I hope all of you have completed this activity. The question is what is the output of the following query? From the SQL query we need to find all the branches that have greater asset than or equal asset to some branch located in the Brooklyn. So the result consist of these 3 tuples set comparison f comparison operator all r this is equivalent to for all t belongs to r in bracket f comparison operator t where comparison operators can be less than less than equals to greater than greater than equals to equals to and not equals to. Here the sum examples using set comparison operator all are given. Example find the name of all the branches that have greater asset than all the branches located in Brooklyn. So the relation required is branch and the set comparison operator use is greater than all. Consider the relation branch consisting of branch name, branch city and the asset. As we have to find all the branches that have greater asset than all the branches located in Brooklyn. So first we find the asset at the branch city Brooklyn. So there are 2 such asset value that is 71 lakh and 90 lakh and the branch name are Brinton and downtown respectively. Now we have to find all the branches that have greater asset than all the branches located in Brooklyn. So there is only one tuple with the branch name round hill and the asset value is 91 lakh which is greater asset than the asset value 71 lakh and 90 lakh located at the Brooklyn branch. Hence the result contains only one tuple round hill with asset value greater than all the branches located in Brooklyn. And the query using set comparison operator all is select branch name from branch where asset greater than all in bracket select asset from branch where branch city is equal to Brooklyn. These are some references. Thank you.


से लेक्दे किंंball चैफागे सुर चीछा ऱस� tankul karnic कढ़ाँ committee से मेंझनगी क्त् recommends कycz्टि रूत ंँ देशह करती एक से प्प्या फुीरे यह everywhere न्से कौन्तीथ मसाइसे उरॡबदत. now let us see first of all what do you mean by load curve and how it is plotted in order to plan the capacity of power plant to supply load to various types of consumer the following information is necessary with regard to load now here we are using the term load what does it mean let us think let us pause the video for a moment and what do you mean by load here the load is a any device which taps electrical energy from the electrical power system is called as a load on the system the load may be resistive for example electrical lamp it may be inductive for example induction motor or it may be capacitive or it may be some combination of them now let us see what are the various factors which are to be considered for planning of the power plant to supply the electrical power for particular region here the first factor is the present load to be supplied means what are the existing electrical loads which are there in the particular location secondly we have to see the growth of demand to be anticipated called future load as we know that electrical power demand will not be a constant it will go on increasing with the increase in civilization as well as industrialization so there will be every year there will be certain growth of demand which has to be anticipated and it is called as a future load then we have to also consider parallelly the type of load whether it is domestic, industrial or commercial because these depending upon the type load the requirement of electrical power will vary according to the time in a day next we have to also consider the magnitude of load and the duration of time during which it is required this will help us to plan the operation of the various types of various generators as per the requirement the next will be we cannot consider only the present load and demand growth increase in the demand of the load but we have to always plan for some reserve capacity to meet any sudden requirement the electrical power requirement may increase suddenly due to certain festivals or some other program so we have to always plan for some reserve capacity so these factors we consider while planning the power plant now let us see the definition of load curve a graphical plot showing the variation of demand for electrical energy of the consumer on a source of supply that is power system with respect to time is known as the load curve on load curve we plot the demand of electrical energy with respect to time now in if this curve is plotted over a period of time period of 24 hours it is known as daily load curve if it is plotted for week or month or year then it is named as weekly monthly or yearly load curve respectively so we can have load curve for a day for a week for a month or for a year depending upon the time period which is considered while plotting the load curve now let us see the various types of load curve depending upon the load now here I have shown in figure that residential or domestic load now under domestic load it consists of lights, fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, heaters, television, small motors for pumping of water etc most of the residential load occurs only for some hours during the day for example the lighting load occurs during the night time and domestic appliances load occurs only for a few hours in a day for this reason the load factor is the load factor is low for residential or domestic load and it is of the order of 10 to 12 percent as at the same time as we can see the load demand will vary according to the seasonal variation during winter season it may be high or during summer season it will be low this particular load curve is plotted for European countries in India the demand of load will be more in case of summer and demand of power will be less in case of winter now another type of load curve which we come across is the industrial load in industrial load it consists of load demand by industries the magnitude of industrial load depends upon the type of industry this industries can be small scale, medium scale or large scale small scale industry requires load up to about 25 kilowatt medium scale industry between 25 kilowatt to 100 kilowatt or little more and for large scale industry the load required is above 500 kilowatt industrial loads are generally not weather dependent as we can say that the industrial load pattern is almost same only in the afternoon during the lunch break the industrial load requirement drops down otherwise it will increase it will reach a steady and again it will come to minimum during the lunch break and again it is steady and it will decrease so this comes under the industrial load now the next type of load is commercial load which mainly consists of electrical loads due to shops, offices and hospitals now this type of load consists of lightings for shops, fans then electrical appliances used in restaurants etc. this type of load occurs for more hours during the day as compared to the residential load the commercial load has seasonal variations due to extensive use of air conditioners or space heating so as we can see during the day also it is continuously varying it is not remaining constant so this particular load curve is called as the commercial load curve depending the next is urban traction load under traction load it includes the load for tram cars, trolleys, buses, railways etc. this class of load has wide variations during the morning hour has wide variations during the morning hour it reaches the peak value as we can see here the value of traction load is peak during the morning hour because people have to go to their workplaces similarly after morning hours it decreases and again it starts decreasing it reaches minimum and again it starts increasing during the evening hours because the people start coming to their homes after closing of their offices the next type of load is called as the street lighting load or we can also call this particular load as municipal load under municipal load it consists of mainly the street lighting load or also the power required for water supply etc. the street lighting load is practically constant as we can see from this load curve the street lighting load is almost constant in a day and this particular load is supplied during the night hours for water supply the water is pumped to overhead tanks by pumps driven by electrical motors pumping is carried out during the off peak period usually during the night period this helps to improve the load factor so street lighting as well as water pumping is carried out during the night hours therefore it is almost practically constant and during day hours it is equal to 0 now let us see the next type of load which is called as irrigation load or water pumping load this type of load is the electrical power required for pumps driven by motors to supply the water to the fields generally this type of load is supplied for 12 hours during night period so this particular load as we can see that it is also continuously varying and during off peak period this reaches maximum the references are as follows


On 22nd April 2020, that is yesterday, the World Bank issued a press release, quite gloomy and disheartening projections regarding the world economy, in light of the economic crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdown. Global remittances are projected to decline sharply by about 20%. The predicted drop would be the harshest fall in the recent history. This is largely due to fall in the wages and employment of migrant workers, being more at risk of loss of employment and wages during an economic crisis in a host country. According to ILO, the migrant workers account to about 258 million in the world. Remittances to low and middle income countries are projected to fall by 19.7% to be precise. In 2020, the remittances are expected to be between $445 billion and $470 billion, representing a loss of a crucial financing lifeline for many vulnerable households, as reported by the World Bank. These remittances help countries elevate poverty, improve nutrition and reduce child labour. So it is going to be dreadful. It is going to trigger a major setback and devastation in the lives of all, especially the poor, in the coming days, months and years. Remittance flows are expected to fall across all World Bank Group regions, most notably in Europe and Central Asia, to the extent of 27.5%, followed by Sub-Saharan Africa, 23.1%, South Asia, 22.1%, the Middle East and North Africa, 19.6%, Latin America and the Caribbean, 19.3%, and East Asia and the Pacific, 13%. As indicated, remittances to South Asia are projected to decline by 22% to $109 billion in 2020, following the growth of 6.1% in 2019. In 2019, the remittance had reached all-time high of $554 billion. The slowing down in remittances to the South Asian region in 2020 is driven by the global economic slowdown due to coronavirus outbreak, as I mentioned, as well as oil price decline. The economic slowdown is likely to directly affect remittances outflow from the United States, the United Kingdom and the EU countries to South Asia. Falling oil prices will affect remittance outflows from GCC countries and Malaysia as well. The World Bank expects that the foreign remittances are expected to grow next year and recover by 5.6%, but that will be too low to replenish and repair the worst of damage in the history of the human race by a natural or perhaps man-made calamity. Thank you.


Okay, hold on with that. We are live, live at five. I trust your judgment, Amanda Bangs. Ooh, ponder. I think you can see everything. This. People. Sorry for all the movement. So, let me bring up the live feed feed so I can see what y'all are saying. Again, memento and somewhere. Found it. Right. Let me turn the volume down. Moose. What is up, you guys? So, today I'm going to figure out the best way to cast dried live flowers in resin. I have already coated these flowers in varnish. I've done two coats. I've coated these in Mod Podge, two coats. These in triple thick glaze, two coats. These in clear pouring top coat from DecoArt, two coats. And these in glitter sealer, two coats. I'm also going to do a, what's the word? All right, y'all. Whenever you do side by side tests, there's always a set that has like nothing on, I don't know. There's a word. I can't think of the word. I don't know what I'm missing. I'm just walking around at this point. I'm going to control. That's the word, B. It was control. So I've already marked on my V's that it says which is which. And I have it on this cardboard thing so that I can move it without it spilling out because silicone molds are a lot tastic.  Control. I'm also going to do a control, so I'll just pick those. And I've also coated some of the leaves to see which works best for that too. Because if for some reason the rose petals do better in one of the different sealants and then the leaves do better in another sealant, I want to know that so I can just coat different things and different stuff and make it do. I did coat both sides twice. Hey y'all, these two were obviously you did not aerosol. I had to brush them on so it took longer for them to dry and I don't know. I thought they'd be tacky a little bit still but they're good. I will note that the varnish doesn't seem as shiny as some of the other ones. And the flattest one is the glitter sealant which is crazy because you would think that would be the shiniest one because it's supposed to accentuate glitter. But I digress. I am going to be using for this test Stonecoats Supercast Resin. The reason why I'm using this is because this is going to be an e-science thing but I feel like since it's thinner it's not going to get as hot and heat's going to cook even dried petals so I don't want it to get. I would never do it in Quick Coat because that's just going to bake even if you do seal it. We'll have to do a test on that as well. So as you can see the hardener and the resin bottles are two different sizes. That's because this is a two to one resin. Don't forget if you get any resin or anything from Stonecoat to use the code YOLYLLNLCAPS to get. And I'm not sure how much resin I'm going to need but I'm pretty sure it's more than that. Let's see. I need to use the two to one. I don't know how to do the ratio of the two to one. But if I do six ounces in this then I need to add only three more ounces. That'll make nine. We'll find out together. Whenever you have a two to one resin always the bigger bottle is the two part and the smaller bottle is the one part. And that's so that it can even out as you create. I'm glad you made it Ann. I'm almost a thousand percent sure this is not enough but we'll just make it if we need it. Whoa! I forgot. Super thin. E-Math, right? Thank you Pamela. I hope all of you had an amazing brilliant Tastic Monday. Brilliant Tastic. Yes, brilliant Tastic. It's a brand new fresh out of the box. Fresh out of the box. E-Word. Eleven? Twelve? I don't know. So I did have some products get damaged on their way to here. And they just, one of the paints leaked in the box and got on my other paints. And so the labels aren't very pretty. The paints fine is just the labels are kind of trashy because they're stained or like melting away from when we clean them off. So we have like a discounted, alright so click on clearance and then discounted products and it'll list all the ones that we have and how many we have. There aren't that many but they're there first come first serve of course. Hi Carrie. Hey Julie, long time no see. I'm going to cast resin and the reason why is because for my, I took some flowers from my dad's memorial bouquet at his service and I want to cast those. So I want to do tests to make sure I'm doing it the best way possible to put those flowers. So this is a test for that. What's up Carol? How's it going over there? Yes, the flowers dry. You can dry them by like pressing them in between pages of a book. Like put them in paper towels, heavy book, put a couple of books on top of it. Leave it for a couple weeks and it'll dry out. You can also get like silica pellets and put your flowers in there and it should dry out quick that way. I think someone's also said you could use like kitty litter as well. I don't know about that one but apparently that's a thing. And then... That wasn't bueno. And then there's something else you can use. I can't remember. But these I just let dry naturally. They've been drying for months. Thank you Julie. No worries. Hey Jacqueline. It does not have an odor. Lisa also I recommend never putting your face in a bucket of resin like I just did. And the boys are good. What we had is shots today. Hey Carol. J.J. Linda. I don't know that you could put flowers on your candle and they would dry with that. If that would only work. You should do like a spoof video. That would be pretty inner turner. Thank you J.J. So Rustillium Glitter is this one. I'm going to go ahead and put those in there. Clear Deco Art. This one. The triple thick glaze is this one. Mod Podge is this one. And the camera is this one. So I can get these out of the way. Yeah but we got a shot today. He was not pumped about it. But tis what tis. And then just regular flowers for the candle. I think these are actually testers. Are they? Yeah because she only sent one. And this is limited edition. This is rich gold shimmer. And then yeah and then this is a fruit punch. And it's listed as like limited edition. I gotcha. Hey Sherry. Joe. Sherry said you had. Did actually look good together. Would you look good together? I would never have thought that. They would look good together. Oops. Sorry for the extreme close up. That's just going to be good enough. Alrighty. I miss Lam. So. I went ahead and wiped all these out with alcohol. So that they would. Not give me any problems from anything that may have like. Floated around and landed in it because this is a very busy working studio. I'm not sure. How I can arrange these. So that everything fits and I can see everything. I guess that'll work. Hi Moons. I think I'm going to have to split some of these. Rose petals. So that they all fit. Like and I can. Cover it completely in the resin. Some of them are sticking up a little bit out of the. Bowl. Or. Whatever word you have that was for that. So I may have to like. We'll see. May not have to. But also may have to. Now I think for my dad's flowers I'm going to. Do a coat. Be casting epoxy like a thin little layer. Wait till it's just tacky set almost dry. Drop the flowers in where I want them. And then. Wait a little bit for the bottom coat to set up a little bit more. So that the flower stick. Where I want them. And then top coat it. That way I'm not using any glue or anything. That may disrupt. What I'm trying to do. I bet it is. Hot in Galveston. Look there's not a bad idea. But I'm going to not use that much of it because I really want to see. Through and get a good idea. Make sure that the color isn't really. Changing. You know what I mean jelly beans. Like morbidly terrified of not ever. Getting everything mixed together completely. But since this is a thinner resin. It should incorporate even more quickly than. All of the regular resins. A design element that's perfect. Thank you Pamela. I've been here for a little bit but it isn't. In a little while. Right. We have resin. Jovish I'm using their casting epoxy. I'm starting out with just a little bit. In each one because if I have to make another batch. I want it to be equal parts everything. So it's. A fair. Test you know. Not mean. Almost made enough. Struggle struggle y'all. Right no big deal. I'm just going to have to math more. So that's a fun time. Holographic flake that's used for nails. Some of you picture Linda I may have. So happy I'm testing different ways to seal in pedals. Like dry pedals like which is the best way so that. Everything keeps its true color. Because if you. Don't. From what I've read. You need to seal it so that the colors and the leaves and pedals and everything stays. Vibrant. And the heat and everything from the resin setting the endothermic. Reaction doesn't ruin the flower. So we'll see. Does anyone know how to anchor resin a template like the one Erica has that says fresh. So the fresh that we have that's behind our. Like our set usually is not in the F. But if yours is in the F then. I would just resin it or ink it like you would any canvas.  Sand it down with a 220 or 400 grit sandpaper and then. I would use a spray gesso and then sand it again so it's super smooth. If you're going to ink it. Can't wait to see it Linda. Thanks miss plan. Yes it's real flowers.  The stems and seal them with one of the five sealants. I'm having to make just a little bit more. These flowers came from Jen after my dad passed away. She sent me some rainbow roses. And I've been using them as a test for a lot of things lately. Not only were they beautiful they've come in super duper handy. Let's just top these guys off. Didn't make enough again. But I think it's just right. My goodness it worries me that this resin's so thin. Just because I'm used to it being a lot for a thicker consistency. You know. This resin does take a little bit longer to set up but that really largely depends on the temperature in your studio and a whole bunch of stuff. You're going to have to break some of these petals so that they lie flat in here. I'm probably also going to have to come back around every so often. And push the petals and leaves and stuff down. Once it gets more tacky. So since this is a casting a potty. It's going to go ahead and expel the air bubbles. And it should come out to be like a super crystal clear finish. I'm stirring the petals around in the mold. Because I want to try to release any bubbles that may have attached to the petals. I'm going to have to split some of these. More of an alcohol ink so I've done some tiles but I'm probably sealing them without the ink moving after it dries any suggestions. Actually I've had the same issue even using Camar varnish. Which is what most AI artists use to seal in their alcohol inks. But even with that I've had issues lately. So I'm actually doing it to another test to find out what the best thing is to use for inks to seal them in. We'll have that video posted soon. Because I've been doing a lot more alcohol ink pieces lately. And that's become an issue. I'm just splitting the leaves at the base and folding that little thing in. So that I can try to lay down these petals more flat. Whether it's going to stay or whether it's going to work remains to be seen. And I'm also not sure if since these flowers are dyed. If that makes a difference. But I didn't want to do this test on any of my dad's flowers. This is what we got to work with. This is what we're going to work with. I'm going to tell you that just from trying to split these that the flowers that didn't have anything sealing them in are a lot more brittle. So they are just less likely to mold and be helpful. That hurts from that one.  That was quick. Bad. So when you're adding heat to this to pop whatever bubbles are on the surface. Make sure all your flowers are in the resin or at least really well soaked so that you don't catch them on fire. Because that's not going to be a good look for anything. If you scorch your flowers. That really doesn't matter how cute they are after they're sealed if they have like a blemish. Oops almost caught that one. After you start popping the bubbles try to make sure you don't move around anything too much. Because you can reincorporate bubbles that way. It's much better idea to do a heat gun on this. But all of ours are not close to me because of the class. Which went amazing by the way. Thank you to everybody that showed up for the class or for just the anniversary reunion. Also when you're doing this be careful not to overheat the edges. Because if you burn your mold it's going to be a lot more difficult to get your piece out. Also it's going to be releasing bubbles for a while so every like 30 minutes or so just walk by and hit it with some heat. So that you're helping the bubbles get released. So I dried the flowers myself. I am using stone coat casting resin. These flowers were dyed. I'm going to pull one of these out. It's beautiful. Stunning. It is a little bit splotchy because it was a dyed rose. But that's what I'm using in this test just to see which retains better. And I can tell you also already that the control you can see like water areas where the resin's gotten to it and you know where it's... I don't even know how to... I'll give you a close up. Look at Boi. What in the world? Boi has flowers in his humane. Oh! Nailed it. I love it. Did you... didn't work, Mike? How are you doing? Water stains. That's what I was looking for. So let me bring you guys into a close up. Hey, our hugs. Bye, mandibangs. So these are the remnants of the flowers. They are all well dried and crispy. These are my boys. What are you doing, Boi? Hey, did you get the flowers out? Are you just munching on flowers? What about you, Moose? Are you being good? Okay. So those still look like they're supposed to... Those still look like they're supposed to, boys. The yellow is getting a little bit of... whoops. The resin's getting to it a little bit, so that sealant, the three times glaze, isn't as effective already. That one still looks good, which is deco art clear. That one is getting a little bit watermarked. The glitter sealer. And this one's really showing some watermarks on everything except for the leaf.  They will be coasters, but I mean, honestly, it's just a test for me. I'll have to try that, Mike. Yes, I did add a little bit of glitter. Thank you Angelina's recommendation. I started the feed 31 minutes 49 seconds ago. It sounds good, Mike. So you guys can see that they're floating, but I'll avoid that with my dad's flowers by putting a thin layer on the bottom, waiting till it's tacky set, adding the flowers where I want them, letting it dry a little bit more, and then topping it all off with a lot of resin. With this resin, you can pour it about two and a half inches thick. So for now, since I didn't use anything to stick these down, I'm just going to have to walk by every little bit, probably every 30 minutes, and push them back into the resin. When you do this, try to make sure you're not just adding more bubbles into it. And you know what? Probably this is useless for the first few hours, because it's just not going to be thick enough to make a difference. He's trying to start trouble, y'all. I'll check for it, Nene. So here's my piece I did yesterday for Pride. And a piece I did for the class, and my alcohol ink piece. I did coat that in Camar Varnish and the triple glaze. It's still faded. I did probably seven coats, and it's still faded. I think I'm going to try next time if the Mod Podge or the acrylic pouring top coat works on whichever one works best. Bye, Playful. I'll, whichever one works best, I'm going to try it on this one, the large round that are bobeins. You have flowers in your hair again. Anyways. So that's where I'm at, y'all. So the round wood painting is alcohol inks on. This is all the way around so that you can hang them more easily. Resin, palm. Sorry, it keeps freezing, y'all. Probably because I'm moving around too fast. He's just a little troublemaker, isn't he? Anyways, you guys. Tomorrow I will post an update of these guys' voice. And hopefully it works. What's up, Lost Art? Hey, Sour Grapes. We'll be at Makerspace. Are we going tomorrow? Yeah. We'll be there in Minyana. So Diane has our P.C. And she is asking her hubby to work on it. Boys. Enough. She's asking her husband to work on it for me and see if he can fix it. Because Geek Squad was basically like, I don't know what to tell you. So that was fun. Anyways, you guys. Thanks for tuning in, seeing what we're up to. And being part of the fam. Hey, Olympia. This is what we did. I hope you watched the playback. We'll be live tomorrow early because it's Tuesday. So look for us at 2 p.m. Central Standard, Dallas, Texas, United States time. So whatever time zone you're in, that would be boys. Six and a half hours ago. Hey, calm down, you two. So yeah. So we'll see you all tomorrow. That's all I said, bye. B. Actually, I forgot to tell you guys to be kind to one another. You never know what someone's going through. So now, bye.


There's spirit. I'm on the table.  Maybe it's not the look for me But I think I know someone who it is for I think that a pin-up makeover on you Julian Would just look Amazing spectacular. Why put it on me? It would probably just look like pretty good on me But on you I think it would look beautiful. Well the mustache work with it Yeah, you already asked me off-camera if you could keep the mustache.   Yeah, I got sucked But I think it'll like it'll fit the aesthetic But it's not gonna be perfect But I mostly just want to do the hair and makeup on you because I think it would look so beautiful on you Is it the law that if you make me a pin-up doll that someone has to get a pin-up doll tattoo of me as a pin-up Yes, okay, so one of you make it happen the only place I've ever heard the word pin-up is on tattoo shows I thought Is it a thing outside of tattooing? Prepare to be turned on all is all I gotta say if you could just get a paper towel and wipe all the sweat off your forehead That'd be great. Why are you calling me sweaty? Yes, you're sweating.  It's not what I asked you to do.  I can do what I want. You know, I'm not even sure I'll really need the spirit gum to hold it on here Because it does feel nice and tight. I'm gonna cut your lace. Okay. This is gonna hurt Dr. When does the anesthesia kick in? That doesn't hurt. I know but it feels like it should how's that feel so much better. I feel like I can live my life now My idea right I've done the victory rolls or whatever On my own hair before where it like it looks like this kind of you know, I like that look But I think I want to try something different for you I want to give you a bumper bang. Do you know what that is? Nope So if I hit my head on something the bang bumper won't protect me like that. Oh, that's a move. Yeah Don't you think that would look nice? That's very pinup-y. Yeah That would look good. Ah, where did I go? What really inspired me was pinup doll. Ashley Kaylee melissa had a really good video and Cherry doll face which is honestly a youtube username that I wish I came up with Are you excited to have a beautiful bumper bang? Yeah, I've never had a bumper bang. Neither have I might run around head first So you're not gonna bump into no That's wrong. Why does it look so wrong from now until I say, okay Stop moving. Don't touch anything. Don't move. Don't do anything. Okay. You said, okay So one thing I learned the last time that I did this is that I'm really not good at this like rolling technique This is so hard. Why am I having such a hard time? How do they get it so tight? I'm doing it. I'm doing it Forgot how hard it is to bobby pin things to a That looks really good. Don't move. Oh my god.  If you're coming to laugh at us, buddy, you better not It looks terrible. That doesn't look good at all. I think more hairspray. I'll probably fix it, right? I like honestly for the life of me don't really know how to pin this You know when you're watching a tutorial and then they're like, all right, just pin it down Yeah, they glaze over it I'm just like putting things in here that are just disappearing into that void and yeah I'm done. It's honestly not the worst thing I've ever made. It looks super dope from the side, but then turn to the front It's not exactly reading pin up, you know It's like a bobby pin graveyard in there. All right Why don't we just rock that bang and then I'll do some pin up stuff in the back here Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah Pin up stuff in the back party in the front and business on the bottom that bang was really hard But I will say it's hard to get it to look good It's not the hardest hairstyle I've ever done It's like when you first learn how to braid and they come out looking all types of ass, you know But like you're getting the the hang of it. You feel me.   It's like that. Oh Damn, I didn't see what you were doing back there. That looks good. Okay, so this isn't gonna necessarily match your outfit But I think it'll look nice With what we got going Oh That is so Flattering like I'm a little jealous because it looks so Beautiful on you like I kind of want to do it to me. This looks so good on you I mean, we can clearly see your wig line at this point, but like my goodness is that cute What do you think so far? I think it's I love it I think it's definitely, you know chef kiss so much volume so much height so fun So vintage but also very difficult to do time consuming. Can you turn towards me? Yeah Do not will smith at me in this Spin on time. No. No. Now it's time for your makeup. Okay, then it's outfit. Then it's outfit. Yeah So because I'm not a makeup artist. I only have my foundation color. So that's what color you're gonna be Whatever doesn't match my foundation. Doesn't matter.

The next item of business is Scottish parliamentary corporate body questions. I would like to get as many people in as possible, so please succinct to questions and answers. Question number one, Mike Rumbles. To ask the Scottish parliamentary corporate body what steps it is taking to ensure that officers receive posts before the start of parliamentary business. I thank the member for the question. His members will appreciate for security reasons that it is important that we screen all mail coming to the Parliament off-site. In 2011 it was agreed that we would no longer pay royal mail for the early extraction of the Parliament's mail and we would bring the sorting in-house. That means that screened mail from royal mail is now delivered to Holyrood around 9.30. Allowing time for our mail team to sort the mail, the first postal delivery is now at 11am. These changes also enabled us to operate one shift instead of two, freeing up a member of staff who was redeployed within the facilities management team. We have no plans to reintroduce an early mail delivery with the significant additional costs that that could involve. Mike Rumbles. The Parliament's postings do a fabulous job and I do not want anyone to think for a moment that my question is a criticism of their work. It is not. Can the corporate body advise that there have been such shift changes that the member has just mentioned? The first post is now much later than before. Only a recent change has not happened a long time ago. Is there no possibility of restoring that earlier post so that we can give a good service to our constituents right from the start of the day? Kezia Dugdale. I appreciate that the member is a keen bean and he wants to get to work as quickly as possible. I would say to him that the cost of returning to the old system would be around £100,000 of additional revenue every year. I would ask him to carefully consider if he thinks that additional time is worth £100,000 over the cost of the Parliament. This is a saving that we have made. We have managed to redeploy staff within the building. It is desperate to see the newspapers, for example, that are available and spiced from 8 in the morning. It does not have to wait until 11 to access them. The corporate body is pretty confident that this is the right and proper thing to do. Annie Wells. To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will carry out a review of the car park booking system. Kezia Dugdale. I thank the member for the question. The car park policy is aimed at maximising the number of spaces available to members on business days and the car park booking system has been in place since we moved to Holyrood. We have reviewed the booking system several times and have found the current process for booking a parking space to be the fairest and most flexible for allocating the limited number of spaces available. We appreciate that technology is continually evolving and we would be happy to look again at other booking options including an online booking system. Annie Wells. I thank the member for her answer. That is exactly what I was going to come to—an online booking system so that MSPs and parliamentary staff can book or cancel bookings outside normal parliamentary working hours. It would also allow you to see spaces as and when they become available. Would that be something that could be looked into? Kezia Dugdale. I would say to the member that we are very keen to look at the option around an online booking system. We have looked at it before. The software does not currently exist for the nature of what we are looking to do, but we will continually review that. The other thing that I would say to members across the chamber is that a lot of people do not know is that they can book spaces on a half-day basis. People automatically think that they might require a full day. There is more flexibility than you might think, but we will continue to review that. Patrick Harvie. I ask the Scottish Parliament corporate body following the installation of new security devices at pass holder entrances. What action is it taking to address queues forming and delays to entry? Jackson Carlaw. My question is obviously a matter of interest to a number of people. We are obviously all aware that during busy periods, mainly between 8.30 and 9.30, and on business days, queues have been forming, particularly outside the Queen'sbury house entrance. There are three reasons driving the delays. The Parliament has experienced a software issue resulting in the entry system occasionally resetting, and that has caused a delay. Engineers are on site this week in implementing an agreed fix. The other causes are the volume of people arriving during peak times and that some pass holders haven't yet perfected their technique and present their pass and finger too quickly to the reader, which means that the pass has to be presented again. To address those issues, we will be reminding all pass users that, alongside the single entry turnstile at Queen'sbury house, there are two turnstiles at Cannongate, which offer direct access into the garden lobby, as we all know. We have security staff on site to offer support and encouraging anyone having issues accessing the Parliament to schedule a follow-up appointment with the pass studio. We are also discussing with the manufacturer of the turnstiles the possibility of changing the exit turnstile at Queen'sbury house. There are two entrants and one exit, but changing the exit turnstile at Queen'sbury house into a bidirectional turnstile, allowing it to be used to alleviate queues during peak times. All that fancy language means that we are still establishing the technical fixed costs and timescales of that initiative. That will be one of those succinct answers. I am going to resist the ample opportunity for NU Endo here. I might be prejudiced on this one. I might be biased on it. My natural instinct is to feel that the expectation of having my fingerprints taken and having to present biometrics to go into my place of work is something out of a dystopian nightmare, but this is more Brazil than 1984. It does not work. It takes ages. I am all in favour of technology if it is going to make things easier, but this is technology that is making getting in and out of the building worse, more difficult and more time consuming. If it does not work, can we just rip it out? I hear Patrick Harvie's difficulties that have been experienced as we facilitate the new system. He will know the problem with the old system, which was just a one-factor identification, was that, quite inappropriately, many people were handing past back their past to allow other people into the building who did not have a past. Obviously, if you think it through, you have presented serious security risks. The two-factor authentication is designed to make access into the building more secure. The biometrics are exclusively contained within the card and not held anywhere else, so there is no breach of personal data that Mr Harvie needs to be concerned about. Yes, it may take some time for us to perfect the system for it to work efficiently, but it is there to ensure that all of the public access points into this building are as secure as they have to be to ensure that we can all operate safely within the building at all other times. Presiding Officer, can I remind the chamber that I convene the cross-party group on credit unions and ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body what the take-up is of the credit union payroll deduction scheme? Sandra White Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. I thank the member for a very interesting question. At the moment, I can answer on behalf of the SPCB, there are currently 35 individuals choosing to make a payroll into the credit union account through the payrolls managed by the SPCB, of those 19 SPCB staff, 10 MSP staff and 6 MSPs. This is out of a total of 1,399 people who are served by our own payroll service. Ruth Maguire I appreciate that answer. The role of credit unions in reducing poverty and the impact of financial worries is well recognised. Everyone will know that the membership is based on a common bond. It seems a wasted opportunity to not offer staff and members the benefit of wage deduction directly to one of their local credit unions. I would, for example, love to be able to offer my own staff or indeed anyone from Ayrshire the opportunity to have deductions made to First Alliance credit union. Would Sandra White MSP meet me and see how we could possibly make this happen for everyone? Sandra White I agree entirely with the member. It is a very important issue for the credit unions and having access to it. The member will be aware that the SPCB does advertise the credit union, which we facilitate at the moment. However, I think that what she has raised today is an excellent idea. I cannot give an answer today, obviously, on my own behalf, but if the member is content, I will take it forward to the next SPCB meeting and discuss it there. I am more than happy to meet the member and discuss it also. Christine Grahame Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Parliament corporate body how it will mark the contribution to the Parliament of staff past and present who were here in 1999. Liam McArthur I thank Christine Grahame for a question. In our 20th anniversary year, the corporate body wishes to express our thanks to those staff past and present who helped to establish the Parliament in 1999. Christine Grahame might be interested to know that there are around 80 members of the current parliamentary service staff group who joined before the first election in May 1999 and a total of around 120 who started at some point during that year. The corporate body values the contribution made by all staff and contractors in the Parliament from all parts of the organisation and regardless as to how long they have worked here. Throughout 2019, the in-house newsletter staff will be reflecting on their time at the Parliament and this is an opportunity for those who joined in 1999 to share their memories from that year and their reflections on how the Parliament has evolved over the past two decades. Christine Grahame I thank the member for his response. I associate myself with his remarks congratulating the staff past and present. Here is my B plan. If we are to have a modest 20th birthday bash, that if we are going to ask former MSPs can we also ask former members of staff to attend as this Parliament very much operates as a team? Liam McArthur I reciprocate by echoing the sentiments expressed by Ms Grahame as she will know that our intention is for the Parliament to celebrate its 20th anniversary at an event on 29 June. All members of staff past and present will be encouraged to attend that event when further announcements are to be made later in the spring. I understand that the chief executive of St Paul Grace will be writing out to current staff and past staff to that effect. 6. John Mason Thank you to ask the Scottish Parliament corporate body whether it is possible to vary contracts of employment for MSP staff in order to give flexibility to suit local circumstances. Andy Wightman I thank Mr Mason for that question. The SPCB recognises, as I am sure the member does, that members are the employers of their own staff. To help members to fulfil their role as employers, the corporate body has provided a minimum set of terms and conditions on which members' staff should be employed and provided members ensure that their staff are employed on terms and conditions that are no less favourable than the minimum set by the corporate body. They are free to vary those terms as they see fit as long as they do so within the capped staff cost provision. John Mason I thank the member for that answer. However, without again to all the details, I am currently trying to get a contract adjusted for a new member of staff. I have asked for five changes in the standard contract. Human resources are resisting on two of them. It seems to me that, as we go through year by year, there is less and less flexibility, there is more and more rigidity, and I would just like an assurance from the corporate body that they will maximise the amount of flexibility that staff and MSPs have. Andy Wightman I thank John Mason for those further remarks. As I indicated earlier, it is for members to determine the terms and conditions on which their staff are employed and provided that they are no less advantageous than the minimum set by the corporate body. Obviously, we are not in a position to discuss the particular details of Mr Mason's member of staff. If he wishes to raise it with any of us, I would be happy to discuss what particular issues he is having and to find out whether, in fact, those are issues pertaining to the standard terms and conditions in which members' staff are expected to be employed. I am not aware that the conditions have become tighter over the past few years, but, if Mr Mason wants to present evidence to that regard, we can have a look again at that question and make sure that members have the flexibility that we all expect to be able to employ staff on terms and conditions in which they meet their circumstances. Question 7, Alexander Stewart. Alexander Stewart To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will provide an update on the on-going issues with the car park barrier system. Kezia Dugdale The car park barrier system was installed in 2007. In January this year, we experienced a series of component failures, which led to the car park barrier system being out of service for 10 days. Following those component failures, a comprehensive root cause analysis of the equipment and the controls was carried out by the manufacturers, and measures have been put in place to prevent a similar incident happening again. Alex Stewart Thank you for that response. When the barrier is at fault, we find that the staff have to be outside and deployed in all weathers, and surely this poses a greater risk to the building, because the barrier is down. Can I ask what further measures can be put in place to ensure that the risks to the staff in the building are not secure? Kezia Dugdale To the member, there is no increased security risk when the barrier is out of service, because we have the roller shutters before we go down into the car park entrance. A due share is concerns about asking security staff to be out in the cold elements, and that is why we try to avoid them having to do that as regularly as possible. The barrier system is not out of service as often as he might think it is. There are three scheduled periods in any given year for scheduled maintenance and beyond that. There were seven incidents across the whole of 2018 when it was out of order, but many of the issues behind that have been resolved now and we look forward to a more positive future in that regard. Tom Arthur Thank you, Presiding Office, to ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body how it supports staff who are carers. Kezia Dugdale The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body recognises that many staff face significant caring responsibilities and is committed to helping them to balance their home and work life. We appreciate the demands that that may place on staff and at times it may be difficult for them to combine their work and caring responsibilities. As an employer, we are committed to providing an inclusive working environment where carers feel valued and supported. To help us to meet that commitment, we have put in place a range of support options for carers, including access to carer friendly policies and working practices, which offer staff the flexibility and support to manage their time when care at home is needed. Tom Arthur I thank the member for that answer. He will be aware of the carer positive initiative, which recognises employers who promote carer friendly policies in the workplace. The Scottish Parliament, of course, is a carer positive employer, however it is currently at the entry level that is engaged. Can Kezia Dugdale outline how the SPCB sees the Scottish Parliament moving and progressing to become an established and eventually exemplary carer positive employer? Kezia Dugdale I thank the member for that follow-up. We are indeed a carer positive employer, and the SPCB continues to demonstrate its commitment to staff with caring responsibilities and, more widely, to support staff to lead independent, healthy and active lives. Can I reassure Tom Arthur that we are committed to achieving the highest level in the award scheme in becoming the exemplary carer positive employer by 2020? That means providing exemplary support to carers by enhancing our workplace policies. Our carer staff network, which is led by carers in the building, will have a key role in helping us to achieve the highest possible standard. That concludes the SPCB questions, and we will move on to the next item of business. Can I remind all members at this point that this question slot is considered the same as portfolio questions? Should anyone come into the chamber to ask a question or attempt to ask a question, they should stay for the full session.


Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Greg Fenton from Zen Tech. How are you today, Greg? I'm Greg Tracy. How are you doing? Greg, let's just start right at the top here. You were Greg from Zen Graphene the last time we spoke. When did you change your name and buy? Well, Tracy, we started this process probably four or five months ago. We wanted to have a name that really reflected the evolution of our company and where we're going. We were initially a mining company. Then we were solely focused on graphene development. But then as we continued to evolve and started to get some big wins in the technology space, we thought the name Zen Tech would better represent who we are as a business. Graphene is still a nascent term. It's a nascent industry. Not everybody understands what graphene is and hasn't been exposed to it. Given the fact that we're really a technology-focused business, we thought Zen Tech would be more representative of where we're focusing and where we're going in the future. Of course, you're maintaining your trading symbol, which is Zen, correct? Is that EN or ZEN for our American audience? We have. We are maintaining that, but that brings up another great point. We have also applied to do an uplisting to the NASDAQ in the US market. We put in that application about three weeks ago, and we anticipate having approval of that by the end of November or early December. So we will likely have a new trading ticker in the US at that point. I won't let you know what it is until we get it approved, but for now, we're still Zeddy in. Well, speaking of timing, the last time we spoke, we were very excited about your Zengard. Let's keep going with the ZEN theme here, products. How are those going and what's the latest with the Zengard? Zengard is going very, very well, Tracy. The amount of interest in this product is even overwhelmed us. There were a lot of people that were watching it from the sidelines until we got Health Canada approval. Once we got Health Canada approval, that really opened the doors for more involved discussions with potential buyers of the product. Those discussions are currently underway. There is a fairly rigorous testing process that most end users will need to be able to purchase this, i.e., test the products with their membership, and I can say that that is going incredibly well. So we're very, very happy with where we are. So in addition to, of course, your submission for your NASDAQ listing, you've changed your name and update on Zengard. Thank you. You've also had some very interesting technology news, which I don't really, this is new to me, the isopobic coding. Talk to us about that, please. Sure. Yeah, that's very, very exciting news. And this is something that we worked on last winter. We have a partner, we haven't disclosed who that is yet, but we will, where we actually tested our product in a very unique formulation with the idea, it's a unique formulation of rubber, basically. And the idea is to create a coding that wouldn't allow ice to adhere to it. You saw what happened in Texas last winter with the windmills breaking down, the big power generation windmills, wind turbines, when they got a coating of ice on them. Obviously, if you live in a northern climate like we do, you know what it's like in the middle of winter when you've got to take a plane somewhere, you have to go for de-icing. So we were working on developing a coding that wouldn't allow ice to adhere to surfaces. And the breakthrough that our scientific team came up with was absolutely spectacular. We are multiples or factors better than the existing products that are in the market. We're actually tested it in a wind tunnel with a turbine, we're actually moving to additional testing and real life conditions later this year. But the most important thing here is we just continue to build out our IP development pipeline because we are an IP development company. So stay tuned for many more exciting things on the pipeline in the coming months. So further to the name change, Greg, can you tell us a little bit more about how Zen Tech is currently branding yourself to the public markets? Tracy, we are, as I said at the beginning, we're an IP development company. We do have a healthcare focus, but we really want to make sure that we continue to keep our eyes open for other intellectual property that that we can either develop or acquire. You saw that with our ice phobic coatings, you saw it with our fuels. Those are incredibly exciting verticals for us, and we continue to move those along. But for the the short and medium term, we're really focused on the healthcare space because that's going to allow us to create the most meaningful impact for our shareholders in terms of value creation. So Greg, congratulations on the new name. We love it. And please join us shortly. We want an update on this new management, some of these new management appointees that you've been announcing recently. Thank you. Thanks, Tracy.


I am definitely living my own dream. I have a family and I have all around me in nature and if I need to get to work I can do it with a car in 20-25 minutes. I am Angelo Agatino Nicolosi and originally I come from Sicily. I am 30 years old and I came here in 2008, 10 years ago or more or less. I'm extremely interested in cryptography and computer security and through research I actually saw that Orus University was one of the best in Europe in the world actually for cryptography. The great thing about the university and the social life is that it is completely focused on the student itself and even teachers sometimes on the Friday bar they can come and discuss academic research or just normal life together with you as it would be another friend. When I was living in Orus, when I was a student also afterwards working there was a lot of possibilities. At Orus as the rest of Denmark you really use your bike to get anywhere. Here in Denmark to meet colleagues or make new friends is actually quite easy. It is true that you had to work a bit more in order to get through that small or thin shield they have but in general what they also have experience with Danish people is that once you pass that thin shield then they actually are your friends forever. I had actually some very good offers to go for instance to Zurich with Google or to London with Facebook and etc but I didn't really want to because the environment here and the work conditions are so much better. When you actually get to work and you have a boss or there is the boss of your boss you don't have to actually go through, if you have a good idea you don't have to go through this hierarchical thing you can actually just express your idea and people actually listen to you. In any kind of actually work that I've been doing here in Denmark what they do is that they really care and don't care only about for instance your colleagues and your boss that is coming in to say Angelo you've been here for eight hours you should really go home but it's also actually the fact that they inject inside the work environment elements that actually are more fun in order to actually also help the relationship that you have with your colleagues and also if you're looking for a solution for a problem is much easier to just get a break and then think about it afterwards. In this couple of months that I've been home I've been home because I had actually the trains with the full income and etc so that I could spend some moment with my family. Right now what I do actually is I wake up when my kids wake up around five o'clock in the morning when I'm lucky and we just stay together and we just take walks in the forest. I came to Denmark because of the university that was the main point you have education for free the welfare system is actually working extremely well you have paid leave without any problem you have a really great healthcare system and etc this is one of the reasons why I'm so happy to be here and if you actually would ask me would you do it again I would do it again a hundred times and maybe even leave earlier.
