Thank you so much for doing this firstly and congratulations on the honorary doctorate. I am so so excited to meet you, you're from the same city as me, you're from Calcutta. You've basically lived the life that every woman wants to live. You've set such a beautiful example for girls all over the world and it's just such an honor for me to be interviewing you right now. So I want to start out with like your childhood memories with food, like is there a particular flavor, fragrance, aroma food that instantly takes you back and like as as an add-on to that is there a favorite fish dish that you'll like eat from your mother? So food is so, I'm so glad, I'm 54 and I'm that generation where everybody eat around the table, no one was watching their phone or watching television and food was the only game in town because in Calcutta you know there was no way to go, nothing to do, so everyone just ate. So I have incredible food memories but for me, Paratha has always been like the best memory because I think probably because that was the one thing you got on your own to eat, yeah you never got a half Paratha, you always got a full Paratha and that that was always exciting and that kind of the aroma that came the final stages of when the Paratha was being made that is my kind of best childhood memory because I knew now I didn't understand what was happening but I knew when I smelled that aroma of ghee burning on the tawa I knew my Paratha was going to be ready. So that's like my best childhood memory and when you're asking about fish, I think it has to be fish malai curry and fish malai curry made with Ruhu, Ruhi March which is this kind of local fish of Calcutta and it's got a bit of you know of course it got a bit of bones in it not as much as hilsa as you know but it's just it's still my favorite fish dish so fish malai curry made with Ruhu. That's fabulous, I think I've like grown up eating so much fish around Calcutta, I know exactly what you mean when you say Ruhi March. Can you like trace a distinct memory or like a marker of your identity as a Muslim Bengali Indian woman in the UK you know with the food that you make how do you understand how do you trace identity with food especially with the work that you're doing and like the advocacy that you so actively do. I think food is part of our DNA it explains who we are it's so intuitive to who we are that we don't understand that you need to be able to tell people this is my food and this is me do not separate me my culture and my food the easiest thing to do is to just to take our food and that's what I don't want I want people to understand my story to understand who I am why this food is sacred why this food is so symbolic the nostalgia the honor the respect linked to my food there is unfortunately a lot of racism in this country when it comes to food so anyone who is opening a restaurant with Spanish Korean Japanese Italian food they can charge anything because that food is considered elevated but if you want to be an Indian restaurant serving just our standard food people don't understand for them our food is cheap and cheerful and unfortunately all Indian fine dining has made our food into something you and I would not recognize they have dissected it they have taken out the brown bit I my skin is brown my food is brown I'm not ashamed of what my food looks like but to make it look like a little floral garden to add you know everything like you know from seaweed to you know truffle oil on everything presenting my food as you know pasta style my grandmother would be moving in her grave she'd be shaking her where's the roti she would ask where's the rice you know you're serving smidgens of food on little plates because you think this looks sophisticated but so much of this is about confidence I am so confident about the food from you know my city from Calcutta I will serve chicken chaap koshamang show the biryani even luchi you know with luchi and alutam with as much joy and pride because I don't have a problem about whether this is something people want I don't need to make it look french for people to buy it and this is you know why this restaurant it what what it is of course you know I have an all-female kitchen so none of us enter this nonsense you know you used a word before which is jugaru which is we all put things together home cooks are like that we are trying to nourish to heal we're not trying to impress and that is the big difference between the food you get here the food you get in other restaurants and I think that I try to explain my story with the food because I think that that's when people get it they understand the honor and respect with which I talk about by food I want them to feel that same respect towards me towards the women who are cooking in the kitchen towards every home cook towards everyone the color of skin I am that's that's very powerful actually and also the way that you like describe yourself as a home cook and not a chef and the way you use stories to identify yourself with the idea of you know being in the kitchen I think that's something that you know can be perceived as so powerful and yet so underrated because I feel like food and stories are the only thing that us as minorities have left anymore and I speak as a woman and not any other kind of minority but you have a lot more layering in that especially back in India and over here so how how has your experience been with like using stories as your weapons or using food as your weapons I don't want to use the word weapon I want to use it as a bridge it's a bridge between me and my host nation it's a bridge between me and the ignorant racist I want to communicate to them how small-minded they are that they can hate me by just hearing my name they can hate me by just looking at someone who looks like me this hatred of someone who is so different goes back to the dark ages goes back to you know cavemen where they would be scared that someone who looked different from there you know might steal their cattle may destroy their may hurt them might kill them but centuries of literature of architecture of poetry and music that people still feel scared of someone who looks different from them I am not willing to have this conversation about why you should accept me I will feed you I will tell you my stories and if you still want to hate me I forgive you because that is part of my faith I forgive you for hating me I figure figure I really forgive you for being small-minded and and not very intelligent but bias is something that I want to break by purely explaining to people in the nicest way through food through music through what I wear stories that I am the same as everybody else and as a woman it's not something that is only south asia yes in south asia from Afghanistan to Sri Lanka it is a woman cooking and in any restaurant in the east or the west where it is you know where you need to spend a bit of money it's all men because no one wants to pay us for our roti because we make it look effortless they think it's valueless and I'm trying to change that but I I have a lot going on with this restaurant with what I'm trying to do but I'm not willing to die till I see someone surpass everything I've done I want to be on the sidelines uploading women I feel the breath of this generation of future leaders behind me I'm clearing the pathway I don't see myself as being on stage forever no one should stay on stage forever you shouldn't block the way for others to come forward for them to be in front of the spotlight this is a very political project this is not it's not even a restaurant this is a revolution this is a battle cry for justice and that's what I'm doing I think I completely agree with that in fact like that was actually going to be my next question my next couple of questions actually how do you bridge the two most traditional ideas of femininity in South Asia which is maternity and cooking because like I've heard you say that your children initially had like a bit of an issue with the homestyle supper clubs that you did what was your experience bridging those two identities of femininity that were usually taught as salvation women that you know you're supposed to take care of your family and you're supposed to take care of the kitchen is it when your own identity is self contradictory how do you sort of deal with that I I've made peace with myself I've made peace with my kids and I think that too many women take too long before they make peace with what what is happening in their lives I just want to give one example as a Muslim Asian woman in her 50s as a sole founder of her restaurant I'm not running the same race as a white man but I'm also not running the same race as a white woman white feminists don't get me they cannot understand my faith they cannot understand my choices and I don't need to explain to everyone that I literally am playing a balancing game every day but women around the world do this they set themselves on fire to warm others and I understand all the kind of obligations that come the expectations that you will feed your kids that you will look after them and I know that it's there are days when I feel I have failed I I cry I feel very angry that I have failed to be a good mother sometimes I feel I failed to you know do all the things I wanted to do for that day but I also understand that you know the night is never endless and you know it's there in the Quran is there in every religious book that you know night is never endless day will come and I forgive myself and I wait for the next day and hope that it's going to be a better day I don't have any advice for women who are mothers I don't have advice for any woman even those who are not mothers on a work-life balance I don't think I've got it right I try but what I have learned is how to be kind to myself it's taken me a long time I've always felt and pushed myself too hard and I am now in a much better place and this is why I always feel that the ageism so prevalent in South Asian culture but so prevalent in the West here there's a vineyard of sophistication but this expectation that you're young and you're dynamic and you're creative and when you're old you don't have much to contribute when you're old you have lost more battles but you've learned to rise and this is why you know I feel that in South Asian culture especially this whole idea that women who are older are not given as much respect are not except this traditional respect of being the elder but not given investment you know you go into venture capitalist you know they're going to watch your agency you can't get a mortgage you cannot get a lease the moment you're older people are scared but what they don't understand is the strength of an older woman we are so strong because we have lost so much now it's like rising from the ashes we will be victorious and that's that's very true in fact I also like correlate that with a lot of literature that like has now started coming out on Mughal women because you read about all of these Mughal men but you don't realize that Babar came to India with a whole host of these really strong really powerful women without whom the empire wouldn't have sustained without whom any of what any of the empires in India would not have sustained and that sort of is a very necessary reminder in my opinion to everyone around and I think that's why stories become such a huge part of or like untold stories become such a huge part of like the way we conduct ourselves especially in India and I think that you know women are never the hero that's the problem and I I think that's so much it is just prejudice especially prejudice against brown skin women but it's there in so many cultures as well that all our achievements are downplayed and all our success is often shared sometimes not so willingly by other family members by your CEO by your colleagues and too many women allow this to happen and I think that you know we need to take back this power that this is this is me this is my idea this is my success and remember this is not about you you need to do something special for the generation coming after you too many women have allowed men to step on them and take away their glory and I say this every time I'm in front of a group of young people who are going to be future leaders I am sewing a harvest I will never reap I'm sewing this harvest for you so that when you are powerful this harvest is for you use it in an intelligent way use it with justice make sure that there is enough diversity equality that women are given equal status I don't think I will live that long that I will see this changing in my lifetime but I want to be able to do something that I clear the pathways for the generation afterwards that's very true and I think you're already doing that this place is proof that you are those women behind that counter are proof that you are and I'm sorry that there is a lot of background noise from the kitchen but this is the thing that it's a kitchen and I apologize for that you'll see a lot of here a lot of noise but as much as possible I'm telling them to try and keep it down but you know that's kitchen noise and it just makes it real you know we are we are in my restaurant it's okay it's a kitchen and it's salvation women we are allowed and we are proud it is what it is yes over the years like I was trying to understand like your belief system and I sort of correlated a lot of that to why I came to so as was because my identity was sort of lost in the the madness that's going on in India so over the years so as I sort of built this image of you know finding your identity as anything but a white cishet person and you found that identity with the women that we were just talking about taking yourself and them from women belonging the kitchen to women owning the kitchen tell us something more about how you make you know befriended these women how you found them how you found your tribe when you like got married and came here tell us a little more about that I what is very interesting especially when you look at you know how food has been used to divide people in India that people get lynched for something that they may or may not eat you know a whole well in a village gets impure because someone who is a lower caste person has touched it but these things still exist they are very much still there I have an entire kitchen of people who are Hindus my entire kitchen is Hindu more than half are vegetarians we realize one thing that prejudice all these cultural baggage that was put on us we are bigger than that this is a collective of women many of them have not even been educated this is really an example you do not need to be educated you do not need to be a from a certain class background to be humane to be understanding to understand equality some of these women who are working in my kitchen this is the first generation who actually even went to school and they are far more progressive than most people I meet so it really is not to do with your background and your families it is to do with your inner belief and your lived experience of understanding that someone treats you as an equal you turn around and treat the next person as equal and I think that that is this domino effect in my kitchen where I have a kitchen full of people who have so different come from very very different very impoverished backgrounds not all of them being lucky enough to be educated yet they all have found their strength in this place and I think you know I met some of them initially 10 years ago as nannies in the school they were cleaners in the hospital they were caregivers in you know in care homes tough tough physical jobs and here they found their calling and I know that some of them still go back and cook for their families but when they cook here in their chef's white they know that when the world looks at them when the community is looking at them this is why it was so important for me for chef's table that I asked them please show my entire team name them and name their village so that they stop lamenting the birth of girls they can see what has happened to a daughter from the village she's on Netflix she's a superstar and I am standing on the shoulders of giants I needed to show my team so that I wanted people to know I am not the Van Gogh I'm not this crazy genius who is doing this entire thing on my own I am as only as powerful as my team and these women understand this they understand solidarity they understand equality and this is what makes this place so magical that's true it and I completely agree with this place being magical because I stepped in here and I was like I feel like home here because and like I correlate that to a scene in like very very initially a very brief scene of you singing with your chefs in the kitchen I don't know if it was here or back in come garden but I think you were singing a kishore kumar song and I was like that's how I cook with my mother and my grandmother that's exactly how it feels to be in a satayushan kitchen with your mothers and your aunts and your grandmothers and your sisters and your nieces and it's it's the most homely beautiful vibe that anyone can ever be a part of and so this this place really embodies being at home yes and the thing is that I don't understand I have a theory so I don't understand I have a theory that the arrogant toxic testosterone driven violent men who are cooking in kitchens they have a chip on their shoulder they don't because for them their childhood memories is where the food is full of feminine energy either their mother or grandmother fed them the dinner ladies were in their but usually you know women in schools so as of to say that oh we are not women we are these crazy mortal combat characters who's going to beat all other women you know throw hot things across shout and be abusive and aggressive because we made this into a combat sport this is not cooking whereas what you describe of women singing together it's not just satayushan irish french italian portuguese all their memories you know of actually women cooking the east of food you know for christmas all the celebrations for us whether it's holy diwali eat it has always been women look at weddings you may have all these men cooking behind but the actual arrangement is the matriarch they're all powerful so somehow we have been sidelined sidestepped when it comes to professional kitchens and people still ask me how does it feel like to work with a kitchen full of unprofessional women and i say wow what is their life experience of years of cooking just because they didn't get paid is this what is the difference between professional cook and a non-professional cook i don't understand this people still ask me and i and you know and people call me chef and i said you know you really want to call me a doctor i'm happy with that i have a phd and now i will have an honorary phd from saras you can call me doctor you can call me doctor twice over but do not call me a chef because a chef is a actually it's a vocational uh you know degree it's a qualification you can do it by going to culinary school or you can just rise up the ranks i haven't done all of that i'm a home cook and you can still call me doctor that's fair that's very fair um so going from this kitchen of women to another kitchen of women that you established back in iraq um i heard the story of your head chef who's now your head chef uh and i heard her very very powerful story of being able to quite literally find her voice again um are there any other stories of those women that you'd you know like to share anything that you heard from them recently you know uh in the midst of all of this that's happening how have they been how have you know how has the cafe been what is their circumstance right now well i mean covid hit them very hard uh it was it was very bad in the camps they shut the cafe over that uh you know the the foundation that is looking after all these women lotus flower has been fabulous they've been able to raise money and this cafe is now back on its feet it is self-funding they are very successful entrepreneurs they are now baking wow in that in those camps they are baking they're selling cakes they're making bread and these women are also doing catering and they are you know because of that part of of kurdistan has got a lot of international agencies it has charities and geos they are the ones who are feeding all of them and they are they are showing how you just need to lift women up bring them hope show them that you care about them there is an incredible power a shakti in women everywhere all you need to do is hold their hand for a brief time i've described this you know i recently came back from a refugee camp um syrian refugee camp in lebanon and you know you could see syria from where i was in the mountains and i was describing to them that you know it's like you know when you light a candle so the flame doesn't go off you hold your hand so the flicker stops then you move your hands and that flame is so powerful now you don't need to be there to hold it and you know for all this hatred and anxiety of migrants and outsiders it is really an indication of how small-minded people are any help and assistance you give them they don't want to be in this position where they're a whole life they're dependent on others these women will go on and do great things for themselves and i think that this is something that i felt at the cafe i have not been back i would love to go back because they are very successful i'm seeing fabulous pictures these super confident women you know doing these little videos doing you know explaining to others how to make their own you know you see the kind of dumplings they're fabulous and the inner confidence shines from them so different from what i met them that's the thing you just need to i don't think people especially um actually not especially everywhere i don't think people understand just how powerful women together can be or just one woman can be if she's just given a little bit of encouragement and like in terms of the camp as well do you think the camp the cafe idea is viable in other places that have some amount of funding you know in camps elsewhere as well yes the main thing is that you need people living in the camp to have access to cash i work with the world food program they have this incredible program of multi-purpose cash that people can go into a cash point of takeout so they don't give them boxes of food or eat they give them cash this works in two interesting ways one is that it gives them back some self-confidence so you know as a mother you can decide i'm going to buy this with my kids i'm not going to buy this with my kids or if you're a couple or you have you want to focus on a certain thing that you for you is a more of a priority you know people's choices are taken away when they are given something instead of them choosing it the other thing is that it lowers the resentment of the host community because you're going to their shops and you're buying things the thing with the cafe is that it can become that connecting point that bridge between host community refugees migrants internally displaced people whoever they are and i think it can be done i have to admit it's not easy the only reason why we have been so successful in with the Yazidi camp is that i went into a place where there was an existing structure there was a lot of confidence because lotus flower who were working there with them and my friend taban had a lot of confidence from the Yazidi community you can't just parachute in into a refugee camp or into a group of migrants and try and work they need to trust you but that can be built and you need to work with community leaders once you have that trust i think this can be done anywhere that's true that's fair um your newest project has been with trying to solve global uh like food insecurity with practical action in malawi and in kenya um what is your aim for um this project and what is what what what was your sort of common point with practical action the thing our practical action really is you know that they actually try and minimize the amount of money that is used for admin uh i know that with bigger organizations you know with all kinds of protocols they often have to the advantage of a smaller organization they're more agile they can move around quickly and there is literally that practical solutions to small things so helping people you know find a way that is sustainable that is long term that is not just short short term you know this whole thing of you know teaching people how to grow crops how to fish how to build infrastructure these things are more efficient more long-lasting also it brings power to the community by letting them decide that you know for us lexity is very important or for us clean water you know is important find a solution to this you know we want to build this wall we want to build this toilet for our you know students they make those decisions they're invested in it they are then going to protect it help build it and then use it in the best way so i that's why i really love working in organizations i do a lot of research before i actually agree to work with any organization because i need to know what are they doing how does it help show me the long-term impacts you know where have you been and i i read about what's happening i look at what you know else is happening other places are doing similar things is anything that i can help them with it's it's not just a relationship where i'm just some you know person who walks in raises a bit of money and walks away i i invest emotionally in charities that i work with that's fair um in keeping with the fact that um the funds that you're raising for practical action is from the biryani sub club food questions uh one what is the difference between for everyone else who's just unaware what is the difference between a polkata biryani and every every other kind of biryani in european other than the potato the kolkata biryani is the best one yes i am biased i am biased but i think that maybe because i grew up in in in the east and where we don't have very spicy food we don't have ghee yeah i know everyone thinks that we all bathe in ghee in india we don't literally is one small portion on panjab where they have ghee they've got paneer they've got rich milk the rest of us don't even have it we have don't even have cows in in pangol so it's really a light fragrant biryani that's what makes the the one that we make in kakata so beautiful that you can eat that biryani and you can still you know work the rest of the day and i and i i think that a lot of other biryanis i like less because they are very rich they have they have a lot of ghee in them or they're super spicy and that doesn't make them bad this is my personal preference i like the biryani of kakata because it's delicate it's light it's fragrant and of course yes it has potatoes yes and see the difference is that when you're having when you have a biryani for lunch it's different from when you have like a match bhat for lunch because match bhat will give you bhat goon yes but biryani will not somehow yeah and it's so much more you know spiced and flavorful and everything it's just it's it's it's it's the best it shouldn't be compared with anything else and the the good thing about biryani in pangol especially everybody loves it in durga puja in e then diwali there are queues outside biryani shops this is the beauty of pangol that people eat biryani to celebrate every kind of occasion and i and also football matches yes and new years you know and this is just what makes pangol so beautiful that's true and for the other food question for the uninitiated what is the difference between a puri and a luchi puri and luchi are different they may look the same same concept deep fried puffs up luchi is made with maida which is white flour whereas puri is always made almost always made with a mix of flour so it is atta which is you know what we make chapathi with and sometimes mixed with white flour luchi is unique to bangol it is soft it is very very different in texture because it has when you pull a puri you know you will have a little bit of a give whereas a luchi will just tear out in this softness which is to do with the flour right now i ask this because i have loads of non-bangoli friends who will come up to me and like you know talk about luchis as if they are puris and i just need everybody to understand that they are two different things very different they taste different they're made differently all of that finally for like a last leg of questions like we talked about earlier your husband teaches at soas do you have any memories going back you know going to campus being there for events anything that you remember specifically about soas i used to go to soas a lot you know when we moved here because from cambridge when you know my husband moved from cambridge to teaching at soas i would go a lot because at that time i i had a place to study uh law at cambridge but i didn't want to stay in cambridge we got terrible memories of cambridge in winter so i actually was able to convince king's college to give me a place to study law i would meet mishthak at soas uh in the evening then we used to often go back home together and that's actually how i also discovered the ramadan tent the beginning of ramadan i saw that these guys were just getting together i could cook you know i wasn't anywhere like you know how i cook now but i offered to bring food and you know we there was this crazy tent every time the wind blew the tent would fly off and we didn't have water and we were running out trying to get water and i had to bring chai and we couldn't heat the chai it was a lot of drama but i loved this you know there was a whole small group of students and i remember that how i felt my first ramadan in this country because for me my memories of ramadan was breaking but breaking my fast with loads of people my family whole table full of food and i remember seeing these students and thinking oh my god how tough this is and i thought this was a great idea and this was 2012 and i think it's 2012 2013 and i've been involved with them from the very beginning at the same time i just started supper clubs in my place so ramadan tent that began in soas and my business that began in my house was the same time wow and we are at we are each as old as each other look at amazing stuff ramadan tent has done amazing stuff our grown of course soas is now you know in trafalgar square haze gallery in you know chelsea football stadium they've done remarkable things and every time i look at them i smile because i remember that we began literally at the same time so soas memories of that but also just hanging out you know with a lot of students of bushta who i knew in cambridge who then had come to soas to do masters so i met them all and definitely i i think that soas had a much nicer vibe a nice place to hang out so since you're here i'm going to get as much advice as i can any advice for phd students who are sort of floundering and struggling currently since you've done yours from kings and everything it is an incredibly hard journey you need to understand that this is so difficult it's isolating you are so vulnerable because you are putting your heart and soul and many years into a project you are obsessed with your topic you know everything you're the world's expert on this you gather a huge amount of of information it's very isolating so even if you are with a lot of people you know recognize the fact that you are alone because only you know all these complex thoughts that are always in your head ask for help reach out to people and you know and i know that soas has you know my college had you know people who were there to talk to you who would just help you in kind of resetting everything it's very important it's so hard because it's a tough journey so the initial bit of our making sure that you're so scared that the something has written a paper on it and you haven't seen it you're obsessed about you know constantly researching then the second bit is when you're constantly having to cut downwards you have so much material you're not gonna with you know you have long acres of footnotes all of this it is so hard absolutely be proud of yourself that's my one advice to PhD students don't allow the burden and the challenges crush you never give up because what you're doing will bring knowledge to the world this is not i know at some point you think this is my project i'm just doing this imagine when your thesis comes out and so many people are going to benefit from it i'm going to read from it look at it as something that you are gifting the world it kind of makes it a bit easier you kind of then feel a bit more motivated because there are times when you lose that fire your flame is out and you just cannot continue and you're just you have a writer's block you're struggling all of this happened to all of us and everybody has finished their PhD okay in the end just don't stop keep thinking keep stay hopeful and your PhD will happen eventually and you will be so proud but i can tell you one thing you will never read your PhD again i have never ever it's been years i have not looked at my PhD again once it came out i finished my viva oh my god i can't better look at it that's fair and i think that's good advice for people like me who are writing their master's thesis as well so and finally um any word of advice or any message that you'd like to leave to the batch of 2023 that's graduating my real kind of plea to all of you is that money is not your bottom line i know there's a lot of pressure especially now with the cost of living and the difficult challenging economic climate in which we all find ourselves that people will find secure jobs and worry about security but i think the most powerful thing you can do is you can actually have a meaningful job where you can do something where you are able to also contribute to other people to help other people and i can tell you this with my own experience that my time when i feel my most powerful is when i look at my women in the kitchen and see them working and i know i played a role in getting them there so whatever you go on to do it is good financial sense it's good business sense to actually be doing some work for more communities that actually need your help the communities around your workplace where your factory is where your office is where you live your walk around you know your coffee shop understand that you can actually raise your community be part of your community you do not have to be this isolated person running a business or working in this you know glass palace where you come in and out of work smile at people do something because this is your opportunity to actually invest in the area where you are so wherever you go and whatever you do i wish you greater success but always remember that you are part of a community and that community looks up to you to actually help them to smile to invest in them and make them feel like they one day will also be where you are thank you so much and thank you so much for this interview and for having us here you genuinely have a forever fan in me you and all of those women working back in the kitchen i'm so so immensely honored to meet all of you thank you so much thank you


Hello everyone, my name is John and this is the owner of the Goldo 11 campaign on Indiegogo. And it's time for the updates for the materials coming. This is a...come here. This is a member of some components of the member. Now we have been working on this for a long time to solve the software and hardware bugs. But now it's all done, it'll be okay. And this is for the case, outer case. This is not...be ready. Because it just arrived today and some are still under testing. Let's see how it works. Come here. This is a testing room and engineers do the testing of the incoming materials. Okay, let's see how this prototype, this model, Goldo 11 comes out way from the original concept and designing and the prototype hard works hard come out. Let's go. This is our engineering department. This is Michael J. and who has answered the comments from Mr. Toko. Come here. This is for the item manager. This is for the item manager. He is now in the testing room and here, come here. This is for some small components engineer. Let's see how it works. See the components he works on, he's working on. These are components, some USB, some screws and batteries, small batteries, neon batteries on it. And this is for the, of course, you can see this is for the outer case, for the hardware and architecture. This is for the testing, for software and hardware testing, components testing. And here is the most important thing, this is for the software, solve the bugs, solve the bugs. Okay, it's a NATO message here. Okay, the front is a battery testing, battery testing, battery curve, pipeline. And now this is some prototype we are still working on, still working on, but the Goldo 11 is ready. Let's go see it here. Some ideas, that's a prototype. It may be another model, maybe another model come out. Okay, so this is a place, an engineering department looks out this model, Goldo 11. And they will be generated in May or early June. They will be delivered on time. Okay, now this is the second department and the second of the first department. Okay, we can see now it's almost 236 p.m. in challenge. It's not working time, but you can see all engineers sitting in their desks and working, still keep working. So the mass order programs and working on new items, new ideas to come out, come true. For the models like Goldo 11, Goldo 10, Goldo 9. We will come many new models out from this two department, about 50 experienced engineers. This is some small testing tools.


Yeah, absolutely. So what we did is create a solution that encompasses the hardware side using different type of wireless technologies. We use six different wireless technologies in order to connect people on different sides of the world for their banking needs. So we work in collaboration with other small businesses like ours, also large, and that's something what we're trying to do and make it easy and reliable to have a connection from the field anywhere in the world. It doesn't end. You don't have to have electricity or any type of technological or telecom connectivity. We take care of all of that in a very efficient and affordable way, which is the most important for the underbank to make able those transactions to be affordable and happen where they have to happen in the middle of nowhere in the world. Yeah, we are right now we're looking at expanding, of course, like any other business. We are a small business. We are a startup. So we have already a few good customers that have put their faith on us, and we want to get more of those so we can get the word out and our solution is demonstrated that it works efficiently, as we say it does. And what we want is precisely that to be showcased and have a spotlight like ITU has done on us. But now with the side of the operations itself, and we'll have the actions reflect what we're saying. And that's what we want to do, grow and demonstrate that we are a feasible solution for anywhere in the world. And that's a big, big goal for a very small company like ours and in a world setup. Small companies like ours always have the issue of very limited resources. So when it comes to economic and the power of the people and everything, we have to rely on our small group. But that also makes us very nimble enough in order to navigate the different waters of the world, especially nowadays with the coronavirus that has made logistics very difficult. And for a company like ours that is technologically focused, the logistical side of it in the semiconductors is very, it's a very bad outlook. So some of the lead components that we have have times of delivery of over a year. And for a small company like ours, we cannot survive. But again, because we're nimble enough, we can make changes on the go without hurting our end goals. And that's what we're trying to do. That's one of the biggest issues that we have. But it's always growth and it's always getting to that point of self-sufficiency. And we can't do that alone. We need all the help that we can. And ITU helps us a lot in that regard as well with shining a light on us. Yes. Well, it is absolutely a blast having been nominated, first of all. But winning the award was just something that it was almost unexpected. So it definitely shines a bright light on us and puts peer pressure from a telecommunications organization such as ITU, a very large one, the most important one worldwide, and a small company like ours, which we want to go into the world stage. So we are now motivated to actually deliver what we say we can do. And we know we can do that. So that is something that we love. It's what we call a happy problem. So having all that reflection on us and making us be better and be able to solve together with very large organizations the problems of the world and at the same time create more value, not only for the company, but we also see it as part of being part of the humans, of humanity. So we want to make it better for everybody. And there are a lot of opportunities out there and we can't do that alone. So we always need to help. And all those reflectors shining on us will help us achieve that. And we really thank the ITU for doing that.


Prescription drug take back day is this Saturday switch over to part of new highway 23 expected on Friday Baldwin's suicide prevention hotline bill becomes law. These stories and more are coming up on this edition of Community News Review. This is community news review service WSES TV news content divided by WHBL. I'm Maddie Fister and this is community news review for Tuesday October 20th 2020. Another Sheboygan County resident in this case someone 80 or older has succumbed to a COVID-19 infection raising the death toll to 21. This comes as both state and county hospitalizations were demonstrating increasing admissions for coronavirus treatment. In the case of Sheboygan County 26 persons or six more than Friday are hospitalized. 152 more active cases were added to the total that is now 3,616. Only two of those were KMCI inmates raising their confirmed case count to 820. 141 more persons recovered and the active list rose 8 to the 674 current cases. That topped Friday's previous high number by 8. The negative test count parameters were revised today in order to confirm the methods used by the Wisconsin DPH in calculating positive percentages whereas Friday's total was 45,634 negative tests. That included multiple tests over the same person and was considered per test and now that the negative tests will be counted per person so that the same person testing negative three times for instance will be counted for. Under the new method Sheboygan County's negative test total is 27,683 as of Monday or to put it another way 11.6% of those persons ever tested have come back positive. Wisconsin added 3777 new positive COVID-19 test returns since Sunday raising the pandemic total to 173,891 with 42,131 total tests received. That positive rate is 8.6 or 8.96% 12 more deaths raise the total death total to 1600 165 more persons entered hospitals for treatment of their disease showing Sunday. As of now 5.4% of all COVID-19 victims have required hospitalization and 0.9% have died. The 70% percent positive by tests and percent of total daily tests including repeat tests by an individual is 11.7% and one calculated by a positive test per person rather than a pure test it was 21.1%. As of Sunday's data 1,090 hospitals are occupied by COVID-19 patients. And the 284 of those in the ICU another 142 persons in the hospitals were awaiting their tests returns. According to the date data from the Wisconsin Hospital Association in reaction to the recent months that the state's patient was a total was a low as 275 on September 5th by September 30th that had more than doubled to 683 and now it is nearly four times that of early September with 1101 hospitalizations as of this past Friday prescription drug take back day that are the prescription drugs that are no longer needed can be a danger to people and if they're not disposed properly a danger to the environment as well on Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. healthy Sheboygan County 2020 along with the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the drug enforcement administration will hold a prescription drug take back day at the three locations in the county generations in Plymouth the random Lake Fire Department and St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan. The event will be a drive through and you are asked to wear a mask where when you come out as a volunteer you will come to your vehicle to collect the meds and any household prescription and over the counter medications are and even pet medications are acceptable but illegal drugs are not also those using St. Nicholas are asked to enter from Taylor Drive and follow the arrows and follow the arrows as the usual superior Avenue entrance is closed Avenue entrance is still under construction highway between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac using Highway 23 will likely be using some of the lanes starting on Friday that started Friday and that the tentative date announced by the DOT Wisconsin DOT the long-awaited project is an expansion to provide four lanes between Plymouth and Fond du Lac the traffic will remain two lanes for now as contractors still have plenty of work to do before the completion in the 2022 this week's crews will be installing you regards going shoulder work and prepping the pavement markings installing signs and doing shoulder and landscape work in advance of Friday's anticipated switch over the UW Green Bay has been recognized as campus pride as one of the best LGBTQ friendly colleges and universities the list was released Friday as the part of LGBTQ History Month and National Coming Out Day the list uses an index which I included institutional support and exemplary commitment to the LGBTQ inclusion in policy program and practice the director of the university's pride center Stacy Christian said students have the opportunity to advocate for policy change to lead in pride youth leadership and history campus and to educate about LGBTQ plus important concerns but most importantly Christian says that the campus recognizes the important to continue to grow in its own learning and understand of what the needs of LGBTQ plus individuals are and how to better serve those persons in the community and in the future a bipartisan bill written by Wisconsin Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has been signed into the law by President Trump the National Suicide Hotline designation acts which creates a three digit cord for those in material can they see that the bill designates 988 as the national suicide prevention hotline in America we lose 45,000 people every year to suicide including more than 6100 veterans making it one of the leading causes of death in this country said Senator Baldwin in a press release we need to do everything we can to prevent suicide and that means improving the tools that we have to help people who are suffering from depression or other mental health concerns I'm very proud of our bipartisan legislation has finally been signed into law so that we can make it as quick and easy as as possible for Americans in crisis to get the help that they need and the support that they need through the national suicide prevention lifeline and veterans crisis line I urge the federal communications commissions to move ex expediously to implement this change and get the 988 up and running others who helped Baldwin write the bill included a Colorado's Cory Gardner and Jerry Moran of Kansas both Republicans Democratic Jack Reed and a Rhode Island of Rhode Island also had a hand in this bill and the measure passed the Senate in May and the house gave their stamp of approval in September Baldwin notes that 988 will be designated as a national number for suicide prevention those seeking help can still call 1-800-273-8255 to be connected to help locally and finally in person early voting begins Tuesday through the state of Wisconsin voters who want another voting opportunity besides voting in person an election day or mailing their absentee ballot in the vote absentee in person at the designated location in their municipality in Green Bay that is city hall and they come down as they can vote and their ballot is put in an envelope and put in with all the rest of the absentee ballots Celeste Jeffries chief of staff to Green Bay mayor and Eric Gennrich explains they are open and counted on election day Jeffrey says it is for a good option for working people who need flexibility in their schedule Wisconsinites are upstanding voters and our voting turnout is very high here Jeffries told WTAQ I expect people will be coming out for in-person absentee voting voters should check with their municipalities to find times and dates for the in-person absentee voting and that is all we have for today join me again next time for more news and information on community news review news content for this program provided by


Thank you to Davis Media Access for helping put on this event. I'm Stacey Ferrics. I'm with the Davis Arts Center and I'm here with two board members Mylon Marshall and Laura Azar and the Davis Arts Center provides art education to our community. We also have a gallery and performances and we've been participating in Big Day of Giving for, I think this is our seventh year. We've been participating ever since it was the Arts Day of Giving and this year and last year we just loved coming out to the dock to celebrate the end of Big Day of Giving and we thank the whole community for our support. We have over 400 art classes for the community. We serve all ages from two to five year olds. We had this morning playing with play and experimental play and art and we go all the way up to 99 plus so we have no limits on ages and we have something for everybody. We have weaving and ceramics, visual arts, we have performance, drama, dance. This morning we had a live pianist in our adult ballet class. There was 15 adults there taking ballet and a piano player doing the music so it's a huge variety and a lot of wonderful art.


The study found that school meals increased vitamin D intake by 0.9G day, which may help to mitigate the winter nadu in Danish children's vitamin D levels. However, more research is needed to determine whether this increase is sufficient to maintain adequate vitamin D levels throughout the year. This article was authored by Rika A. Petersen, Camilla T. Damsegaard, Stein Matilde Dulskov, and others.


Financial assistance for the completion of the Six Water Viewport Water Supply Redevelopment Project through a CDB loan has been approved by Parliament. The Caribbean Development Bank has made an additional $7,378,000 available for the venture. This consists of an amount of $4,178,000 from its equity and market resources and $3,200,000 that the CDB allocated from the European Investment Bank under the Climate Change Action Line of Credit. Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Cooperatives Honourable Ezekiel Joseph listed the components of this second phase of the project at the recent sitting of Parliament. We are going to rehabilitate the raw water treatment line at Boseju. The construction of a new water treatment plant at Boseju, the capacity of 8,640 cubic metres. The construction of a new chemical storage building at Boseju. The installation of approximately 8.7 kilometres of HDPE, HDPE that's a new pipeline that we are now using, and a DI transmission main from Boseju Water Treatment Plant to Binfield and Latune. Honourable Joseph says the project is not limited to just the Viewport North Area. The installation of an additional 5 kilometres of HDPE and DI transmission main from Oshetan to Ladi. So right now we are looking at Viewport North, Viewport South and Ladi. Now if you are the addictive government, will we do that? These are not seeds that we have worn, but we feel it is important Mr Speaker, it is important to take care of every solution. The proposed project also consists of infrastructure works comprising two river intake structures, three new pumping stations, 15 kilometres of new high density polyethylene transmission mains and three new storage reservoirs.


Hi, my name is Kara Shores, and I'm just going to talk to you for a few minutes about response to intervention. Response to intervention, sometimes called responsive instruction, is a school improvement process that is used to raise the achievement of students who are struggling in grades K through 12. Response to intervention is not a program, it is a process put in place to help to identify students who are at risk early on. When we look at the process, we do look at all students within a school. We administer a universal screening tool that is a very brief assessment that identifies, as a red flag, students who are having difficulties in reading or math or behavior, and we look at the students who are not at an acceptable level, and then we provide highly effective instruction to those students through a variety of means and through a variety of tiers in our levels of instruction. We implement those strategies with fidelity and make sure that we are implementing them the way they were designed and the way they were researched, and then we use data to drive instruction for our students. Response to intervention is often shown as a tiered, a pyramid with multiple tiers. When we look at tier one, that is the base of the pyramid, and that represents our core instruction for all students within a school, whether it be academic instruction or instruction and supports for behavior. That core instruction is available to all students, and we use our universal screening tool, as I mentioned earlier, to identify which students are not making adequate progress with that core instruction. When a student is having difficulty in any area, they can receive tier two interventions in that specific area. For example, if the student is having difficulty with reading, and we find that it's a reading fluency deficit, then they can receive tier two interventions specifically targeted toward reading fluency and be provided that instruction in addition to the core instruction, not to take the place of the core, but in addition to. We also monitor progress more closely with our tier two interventions and evaluate if the intervention is working with that student and making a difference in their achievement. When students do not make progress with tier two, then we can put into place more intensive interventions in that area, and that is considered a tier three support. It is more intensive. It's often individualized, and our assessment is more intensive, often occurring as often as once a week or possibly more. A student does not receive a label as being a tier one, tier two, or tier three student. Instead, I might need tier two interventions for a reading problem. I might be doing well with tier one for math and my social studies and science, but I need some intensive instruction in behavior and be receiving tier three interventions for behavior. So a student can be at multiple points on the pyramid at any time. When we look at RTI, there are three things that are considered to be absolute essentials that must come into place in all three tiers and are really non-negotiables. The first is that our instruction on our interventions need to be research-based, need to have quality research behind them that shows that they do work with students with the particular difficulties that we're looking at. Secondly, we always use data to drive our instruction, and we're talking about data from our universal screening and progress monitoring as well as data from the classroom and any additional assessments that we give to students. And then we always implement our instruction and our interventions and our assessment with fidelity, and it's very important that we assure fidelity in everything that we're doing to show that the student did indeed receive appropriate instruction in whatever tier that they are receiving instruction and that it is not a lack of instruction that keeps the student from learning. As we look at the three tiers, once again, tier one is quality instruction to all students, it's our core, and we still provide interventions to students through differentiation, through a variety of teaching methods in tier one, but it is not something that is needed on an ongoing basis. When we look at students who are not being successful with tier one, then we provide a more consistent level of intervention through tier two. We provide them on an ongoing basis, and they are targeted to specific skill deficits that students have. We oftentimes provide these interventions in the regular classroom. We may provide them during group rotations, such as with a differentiated lesson plan, or they may be that we pull kids from various areas and provide small group settings where we cross grade level or cross class in the same grade level. Basically what we're looking at is an ability group where students are at the same area of deficit and the same functioning level and they receive those targeted interventions in that small group setting. And then we do progress monitor to make sure that the interventions are working. When a student is not successful with our secondary supports in tier two, then we can move on to tier three and provide a more intensive level of intervention. These are, again, in addition to tier one, sometimes because of the intensity of intervention that the student receives, then we have to look at providing more in-depth instruction in that way. But with both of these intervention tiers, tiers two and three, we are looking at instruction that is appropriate for the needs of the student and is at various levels of intensity. RTI has potential to be a great school improvement tool and really change the culture and the achievement of a school and the students within the school and is a research proven method of school improvement.


In this video, I aim to set a context for our studies of data science and the ethical challenges it poses. Previously in Geography 581, we studied a spectrum of perspectives on ethics in the geospatial technology field. Dan Sui surveyed the major ethical, legal, and policy issues, which are often intertwined in practice. Nadine Sherman traced the emergence of critical GIS. Jeremy Crampton and Nancy Obermeyer represented two poles of approaches to GIS ethics. One approach prioritizes codifying standards of professional conduct. The other prioritizes questioning rules and norms over defining them. In Lesson 3, we also studied some of the ethics case studies curated by the GIS professional ethics project and used Michael Davis's guide to hone our moral reasoning skills. Here in Lesson 4, we'll read perspectives on the nature of data science, as well as the ethical challenges it presents. We'll analyze and discuss more case studies. As you'll see, the long-form cases presented in this lesson are not as amenable to the rather formulaic approach to ethical decision-making we practiced in Lesson 3. Instead, we'll need to elevate our moral reasoning skills to accommodate cases presented in greater detail and nuance. Back in 2003, when we were planning a new online master's degree in GIS, the U.S. Department of Labor identified geospatial technology as a high-growth industry. We put together an advisory board of GIS leaders in industry, government, and academia to help craft a curriculum that would prepare students for success in the field. By and large, our students were successful. Twenty years later, over 500 students have earned the MGIS degree, and we continue to attract more high-quality applicants than we can serve. Meanwhile, geospatial technologies have matured and evolved, and their use has expanded far beyond the traditional geospatial professions of GIS remote sensing, photogrammetry, and land surveying. I wrote an online textbook years ago that I called The Nature of Geographic Information. I included this quote from a commentator named JD Wilson at the beginning of the first chapter. After more than 30 years, we're still confronted by the same major challenge that GIS professionals have always faced. You must have good data, and good data are expensive and difficult to create. One of the biggest changes since those days is the availability of data, not just geographic data, data of all kinds. A new era of data abundance has given rise to the practice of data wrangling and analytics that's come to be known as data science. You're surely aware of the explosive growth of data-driven decision-making and the career opportunities that come with it. And since a large portion of data is geographically referenced, it makes sense that geospatial technologies and methods are relevant to data science. JD Wilson's observation remains true. Even in an era of abundant big data, good data are still expensive and difficult to create. As you may know, much of what data scientists and GIS people do is transform heterogeneous data of uncertain quality, provenance, and currency into good data, meaning data that's suitable for analysis and decision-making. Let's step back a moment and put these trends into historical perspective. Specifically, let's consider the emergence of data science as an expression of what the World Economic Forum calls the Fourth Industrial Revolution. First came an agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago. Then, beginning in the 18th century, the invention of the steam engine and the construction of railroads brought the first industrial revolution. A second industrial revolution began in the 19th century with the advent of mass production. Digital computers heralded a third industrial revolution beginning in the 1960s. Early GIS emerged as part of that third revolution. Today, the drivers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution include a ubiquitous and mobile internet, smaller, cheaper, and more powerful sensors, and artificial intelligence and machine learning. As you surely know, thought leaders concerned with the impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution worry that many of today's occupations may not be sustainable. In a widely cited research article, economist Carl Benedict Frey and machine learning researcher Michael Osborn estimated that 47% of U.S. workers are at risk of technological unemployment. Of the 702 occupations Frey and Osborn analyzed, one of the most susceptible was surveying and mapping technicians. Frey and Osborn calculated a 96% probability that workers in this occupation will be displaced by automation in the coming decade or two. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted only an 8% decline, it does attribute the decline to advances in technology. Although Frey's and Osborn's research has its critics, prognosis is generally consistent with a body of research by economists, tech leaders, and forward-looking historians who anticipate fundamental disruption of traditional employment by increasingly capable machines. Innovation expert Alec Ross observes that throughout history our most valued commodities have gone from salt and sugar to chemicals and fuels to data and services. Global finance, social media, and the Internet of Things and other human activities generate an unprecedented and ever-increasing volume, velocity, and variety of data. Human analysts and their employers, Ross and others foresee, will rely increasingly on machine learning and artificial intelligence to cope with the data deluge. Data science is a case in point. Richard and Daniel Suskind, authors of The Future of the Professions, foresee that in the long run, increasingly capable machines will transform the work of professionals, leaving most to be replaced by less expert people and high-performing systems. Their hope is that practical expertise will become more openly available, freeing many users from obstacles currently imposed by gatekeepers like physicians, lawyers, accountants, and, well, surveying and mapping technicians. Predictions like the Suskinds about a coming robopocalypse led to what Wired magazine called the Great Tech Panic. Author James Sirowicki argues that the evidence disagrees that automation will take away our jobs. Neither the increased productivity that should accompany automation nor growing unemployment are evident yet. Sirowicki rightly points out that the outsourcing of work to machines is not new. From the cotton gin to the washing machine to the car, jobs have been destroyed, but others have been created. Over and over, he reminds us, we've been terrible at envisioning the new jobs people end up doing. The Suskinds recognize this and don't predict future occupations that may replace the traditional professions. Instead, they do suggest 12 future roles that education should help people prepare for. One of these roles is data scientist. This lesson on data science ethics begins with several important readings. First is the Handbook Data Science by John Kelleher and Brendan Tierney, authors and practitioners created with the Dublin Institute of Technology. As an example of the kinds of insights data scientists seek, they include patterns that help us identify groups of customers exhibiting similar behavior and tastes. Esri's Tapestry data set is a prominent example of such customer segmentation. Even if you're a practicing data scientist, you should read the first chapter of this work at least. The complete printed text is only $15. I encourage you to add it to your library if you haven't already. Kelleher and Tierney suggest a desitoratum of knowledge and skills that a data scientist should seek to master. One of those in the upper right quadrant of this diagram is domain expertise. What do you consider to be your domain expertise? Another knowledge area they call out is data ethics and regulation. Chapter 6 of their book, Privacy and Ethics, considers the problem of how best to balance the freedoms and privacy of individuals and minorities against the security and interests of society. Personally, I'm partial to this witty concept map called the Data Scientist Venn diagram. To get the most out of Stephen Colossus' diagram, you need to be familiar with R. and with commentator Drew Conway. Where would you position yourself in this map? Where do you want to be? Do you agree with Colossus that the perfect data scientist combines high-level competencies in statistical analysis, programming, business, and communication? And where do ethics come in? A second key reading in Lesson 4 is the 2020 O'Reilly Media Publication Data Science Ethics. Its remarkable trio of authors includes Mike Lucidius, Vice President of Content Strategy for O'Reilly Media, Hilary Mason, General Manager for Machine Learning at Cloudera, and DJ Patil, former Chief Data Scientist of the United States under President Obama. This too is a concise work, and it's available free on GitLab, so I expect you to read it all with full attention. The URL appears in our Data Science Readings page in Canvas. The authors of Data Science Ethics point out that professional and scientific organizations like the Association for Computing Machinery, the IEEE, and the American Statistical Association each have codes of ethics that pertain to data. They are skeptical about the value of a Data Science Code of Ethics, or an oath after the fashion of Physicians Hippocratic Oath. They argue that oaths do very little to connect theories and principles to practice. It is one thing to say, researchers must obtain informed consent. It's an entirely different thing to get informed consent at internet scale. In his massive open online course on Data Science Ethics, which I took in 2020 through the edX platform, Professor H. V. Jagadish of the University of Michigan does propose an extremely concise code for Data Science. It's just six words. Do not surprise. Own the outcomes. In other words, Data Science products shouldn't embarrass people associated with the data, and data scientists should own up to unintended outcomes. A third required reading provides a critical perspective on machine ethics, specifically a computational model for descriptive ethics called Delphi. If you're interested in this topic, you might use the article as a jumping off point for an assessment of the state of the art of machine ethics and its applications in the geospatial realm. Lesson 4 spans two weeks. You should aim to complete the assigned readings during the first week. You should also choose a case study for analysis from the two collections of ethics case studies related to data and AI. In the second week, you'll methodically analyze your chosen case and send it to the class, preferably in the live class meeting or by a recorded presentation you share with the class in time for the web meeting. Okay, let's get started. I can't wait to see what you come up with.


The Ministry of Health and Wellness on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, received confirmation of 77 new cases of COVID-19 from a batch of 413 tests conducted at the Israelong laboratory. This batch consisted of samples taken from January 25 to February 1, 2021. The Ministry on Wednesday also confirmed the recovery of 73 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, bringing the total number of active cases in country to 759. One of the active cases as at news time was in critical care at the respiratory hospital, while all others were stable. One of the cases is a 41-year-old male non-national. He was placed in quarantine while awaiting receipt of his test results. The individual has since been placed in isolation. The other 76 cases are St. Lucia Nationals who range in age from 12 years to 67 years. They are from the Barbano, Ancelary, Grosile, Dennery, Labry, Castries and Viewport districts. They were seen at a community-based respiratory clinic for assessment and were tested for COVID-19. These individuals were placed in quarantine by healthcare practitioners while awaiting their COVID-19 test results. Arrangements have since been made to place them in isolation. The contact tracing team is undertaking investigations to identify the contacts of these confirmed cases. The Ministry of Health and Wellness on Wednesday also confirmed two COVID-19 related deaths, bringing the total number of deaths in country to date to 18.  Both individuals had underlined medical illnesses and were in care at the time of their passing. The Ministry of Health and Wellness extends condolences to the families and loved ones of these individuals. The new cases now bring the total number of cases diagnosed in country to date to 1556.


What's up everyone take down here welcome back to another video today I'm gonna be sharing with you my girlfriends and mine our collectible shelves, which I don't think I've showed you guys yet And I think it's been almost six months or about last Christmas something like that since we actually went and updated and Redid our shelves with new stuff. So I'm gonna be showing that with you guys today. Let's get started So here we go here You guys probably see the two shelves here from time to time in videos, but I have not showed you guys the whole Display so up first here. We do have my girlfriend's plush Disney plush so you guys have Winnie the Pooh wrench and stitch which she absolutely loves and some of her fun Goes for Disney as well, which hopefully we are gonna be getting a few more in the future It's just we don't have a lot of room right now Next up we do have our office shelf Which has a few funkos that we were able to pick up now We are planning on getting a display and taking them out of the box and Putting them on display. So we are on the hunt for a lot more office funkos before we do vats and update vats But we do have our Dundee award our mugs But there's a couple things in the back that we can't display until we get a few more funkos and are able to put the shelf together Next up here is our scooby-doo and Ghostbusters shelf. This is a new addition here as something that we didn't have before So we have my girlfriends. I think I might have actually bought her all of these her two scooby-doo funkos her plush the scooby-doo movies McDonald's toys and the mis-re-machine And over here we do have my slimer the Ghostbusters movies and a mr.

Fyng spineisio y r traddain o'r 11 ystod yn 2019 o'r Gwyl Gwyl Gerstd, Mae Gwyl Gwyl Gwyl Gwyl Gwyl Gwyl, mae hynny'r rel 50 yn iawn mai gyrraut Cymru oherwydd Aelon, oedden nhw dweud y cysylltu i'r Gwyl Gerstd i'r Aelon, cysylltu i'r Aelon i'r Cysylltu i'r Gwyl Gerstd i fy modest yng nghyddiad i'wДwylliannol i'r llwyddiad i ddechrau yn ei ddefnyddio ac yn ei ddefnyddio. Rwy'n dechrau i Gwyl Gerstd hynny. The second item is an instrument laid under the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018. We are looking at the scrutiny procedure and the categorisation applied by the Scottish Government. The instruments, the Town and Country Planning and Electricity Works, EU Exit Scotland, Miscellaneous Amendments, Regulations 2019, SSI 2019-80. Those regulations address deficiencies to ensure that EU-derived Town and Country Planning legislation relating to environmental impact assessments and hazardous substances continues to be operable and enforceable after the UK leaves the EU. It's been laid under the negative procedure and it's been categorised as of low significance. Our advisers indicate that the scrutiny procedure and categorisation could be appropriate. Is the committee content that the appropriate scrutiny procedure and categorisation has been applied? Continue. Thank you. Gender item 3 is an instrument subject to affirmative procedure. No points have been raised on the draft justice of the peace courts. Sheriffdom of South Strathglide, Dumfries and Galloway, etc. Amendment Order 2019. Is the committee content with this instrument? Contained. The fourth item of instruments subject to the negative procedure and the first is the Town and Country Planning SSI, which we've just considered under item 2 and which now have before us for technical scrutiny purposes. The instrument contains minor drafting issues relating to clarity of meaning in specific regulations. The Government's acknowledged these issues. Full details can be found in correspondence with the Government, which is included in our published papers. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament under reporting ground H on account that the form of regulations 510C, 514AI and 611AI could be clearer? Agreed. As the drafting issues are minor and corrective action is not urgent, is the committee content with the Government's assurance that it intends to bring forward an amending instrument? Agreed. The next instrument is the Teacher's Superannuation and Pension Scheme Scotland Miscellaneous Amendment Regulations SSI 2019-95. This instrument makes provision to ensure that the current employer contribution rate of 17.2% will continue to apply to 31 August 2019 with a revised rate of 23% applying from 1st of September. The regulations were laid before the Parliament on 18 March and come into force on 1 April. This does not respect the requirement that at least 28 days should elaps between the laying of an instrument which is subject to the negative procedure and the coming into force of that instrument. The standing orders require the committee to draw to the Parliament's attention any failure to respect the 28-day laying requirement. The Scottish Government's reasons for not complying are set out in correspondence with the presiding officer, which is available in our published papers. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground J as the regulations fail to reply with the requirements of section 28.2 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform Scotland Act 2010? Is the committee content that the failure to comply with section 28 is acceptable in the circumstances? There is one other instrument to consider under this item. It is SSI 2019-96 and our advisers are not raised any points. Is the committee content with this instrument? Item 5, considering instruments, is not subject to any parliamentary procedure. Our advisers have not raised any points on SSIs 2019-92, 93 and 97. Is the committee content with these? Content. I will move the meeting into private.
