ent and to request that there is some additional work done to clarify the responsibilities of both public bodies and to make sure that there's clarity of governance arrangements between us so who's accountable for what and then when they come in place my approach has always been to collaborate so I'm making an approach to them and try and develop what we're calling a strategic partnership a strategic delivery partnership is what we're aiming for with partners and other stakeholders that we're trying to influence I assume there's discussions at an early stage but use your sense that there's a willingness to find that that better understanding of the roles and perhaps look at how that might be enacted Should we ask Geoff how blunt I'm allowed to be I'm sort of still hoping for those conversations to start Okay, I think that's useful for us perhaps as a point of follow-up because I think it's important that we have those connections I wonder if I can just touch on something availability of food accessibility to food obviously in the debate there were a number of amendments and being able to access that as a right I think that's a debate that will continue because obviously it wasn't concluded if you like in this legislation I mean is your view that that's something that we should continue to look at how we create that right and that better access I believe the board's view was that the Human Rights Act was the right place for that to sit I think it shouldn't sit separate to other rights it should be in the main act that rights of access is one of the fundamental requirements of life is food so I think it got the right balance in the act I think but we need to make sure that's not forgotten or overlooked as we go forward Okay, thank you Stephanie, do you have a question on the Good Food Nation Act or my nope, my wrong answer No, you don't have anything Emma You wanted to talk about Scottish Food Commission Scottish Food Commission? Yes I think so I think I've got a couple other ones first actually If that's okay I'm just reading some statistics about what Scotland produces in terms of agricultural output it's 3.6 billion the gross value added to the economy and that's according to the Food and Drink Federation 2021 information and we know that in agriculture in Scotland there's really good animal welfare we know that there are direct links with our health our climate and then food production what is Food Standards Scotland's role in promoting healthy diet and climate change and food production in Scotland so that we can balance it and support our agricultural producers in Scotland We've just written a sustainability plan for Food Standards Scotland which I'm sure we'd be able to share with you if that was of interest to you and in that it shows that if people were eating closer to the eat well guide the national guide lines there's something like 30% of the carbon emissions related to food would be reduced anyway so it's very much aligned to our overall aim in terms of agriculture it's not our policy area but we do feel very strongly about making sure the evidence is factually correct so making sure that people are aware of the role that meat dairy products, cereals et cetera, local grown food plays in our diet important part of our diet and we make sure that the evidence that we give is good evidence that we're not, we're trying to correct some of the mis-evidence that's out there because it could be very easy to be swept along with some of the the more emotional side of eat green rather than being really attuned into the facts about what is eating green is a sustainable diet and I think Scotland's agricultural sector plays very well into that we've got a very strong agricultural sector in terms of producing high quality food food that's safe to eat and food that is produced in a very sustainable way compared to some other parts of the world the welfare standards are good so I think we'll just keep going with our key theme of healthy sustainable affordable food and give us much support as we can without going out with our role as regulator of the meat industry or the food and animal feed role that we have we've got to be careful not to stray into other people's territory Jeff, do you want to add anything? Okay, thanks talking about evidence and stuff like that last week I was at an event in the Scottish Parliament it was a quality meat Scotland event sponsored by Jim Furley MSP and Professor Alice Stanton did a presentation about red meat essentially and the red meat supply chain generates over 2 billion annually to the Scottish economy and Professor Stanton who is a cardiovascular pharmacologist from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland did a presentation and she basically presented information to counter what has been published in the Lancet about how much red meat should be what your red meat intake should be in a day for instance and it's 70mg which is two slices of roast meat or two sausages in a day but she said that the information that was produced in the Lancet didn't meet actual criteria for proper scrutiny regarding the preferred reporting items for systematic review so they call that Prisma and that is related to the global burden of disease and so she was suggesting that what has been used as a standard and repeated by everybody as far as 70mg of meat she said that that wasn't really researched adequately does Food Standards Scotland are you aware of that information that came out from Professor Alice Stanton and does it mean that we need to be looking at a revision in what has been recommended as far as red meat consumption I need to go back and check but my understanding was that the Lancet was suggesting that we reduce from the 70mg per day the average of red meat and red meat products consumption so they were advocating a more vegetarian vegan style diet and speaking to our nutrition team our advice on the 70g of red meat per day is still evidence based in terms of there is still a very slight risk attached to a colorectal cancer but some of the other claims made in that paper were not substantiated the evidence was not strong enough to differentiate some of the claims so I believe that the 70g per day and I did speak to Alice I had a brief meeting with her before the session and we shared opinions and we felt that the eat well guide with the on average 70g of red meat is sustainable and good evidence based advice we also talked about our priority and it's something I've talked about with Quality Meat Scotland is on the red meat products is a high nutritional standard as we go forward and we don't have to be so concerned about reducing them in the diet but I think that's where the science is at the moment but we can double check and get back to you on that I suppose the issue of processed meat is different than non processed meat so the healthier lean cuts of beef or lamb for instance is different than processed meat which again contains higher salt and other issues as well is that what we need to be good at communicating with people I think that the difficulty is that red meat production actually requires us to use the maximum amount of meat in the animal to be sustainable and I think that we've got to find a healthier way of using the maximum amount of meat in animal products so at the moment they've got more fat content they've got as you say higher salt content there are other additives in there that are not proven to be absolutely beneficial for health so to try and improve that formulation of those products will help but at the moment it's 70g of red meat and meat products per day is what is advocated but again if we were to go straight to sort of saying don't eat the processed meat the highly processed meat we're back to that issue of cost because the straightforward steak or roast or joint is a lot more expensive than the sausages et cetera so there's a balance to be had that public health comes first in our discussions and the nutrition team keep abreast of all the science and evidence I'll quickly add in terms of where we are the eat well guide or the eat well plate went through a pretty rigorous process including the views of the scientific advisory committee on nutrition so we would have to be satisfied in terms of any science proposition we would have to go we would want to go through a pretty rigorous process if it was trying to say actually the eat well plate is not where you need to be so I think this is one of the other issues with diet courses there's lots and lots of views around what a good diet is and what isn't a good diet so we kind of use that as a cornerstone of our advice the composition of food is a slightly different question but certainly in terms of what we think the balance diet is it's that eat well plate and I do have a memory of what I was going to ask about the food commission my final question we have the food standard Scotland and a food commission what's the difference I do need both and is there overlap in work and tell us what's the difference please there is a difference in our roles very broad we work from farm to plate so we have the regulatory responsibilities and the advice on policy on food and food safety and food hygiene so I think there is a difference in our roles much broader I think there's overlap between the work of our nutrition team and the new food commission we would not have been able to undertake the work of the emerging food commission without additional resource that focus on supporting the development of these the national plan and the 32 local authority plans and 15 health board plans and the quality output as I said before we've asked to have discussions about clarifying of governance and areas of responsibility and we hope that that will be followed up on quite soon but until we have those conversations it's difficult to be absolutely clear about exactly where we meet and where we overlap and where there's a gap I would just add from our perspective that this has made the decision in terms of the food commission I think our arguments before did actually question certainly from an accountable officer perspective the kind of value for money of having two bodies two independent food bodies I think our request in the letter that Heather wrote was if Parliament decided to go for two bodies it needs to be very clear around what the different accountabilities are of those two bodies we were independent we have got a remit that says we can represent the broader interests of consumers and as Heather said in the letter to Finlay Carson we thought we could actually undertake the functions that were required in the Good Food Nation Act Parliament reaches conclusion our now focus now is engaging as we need to making sure we don't duplicate but also actually delivering in terms of the Parliamentary intent of the Good Food Nation Act Can I just ask one final question Yes It's very small because I've got two members wanting to come in for a further session Apologies, you've talked about different local authorities and how they engage I know there's some local authorities that are looking to sign up to the plant-based treaty and talking about taking meat away from schools away from care homes is that something that you're aware of and would you endorse that or not I mean because we've just talked about red meat and how evidence-based should require people to have that as part of a balanced diet so is that something that you would be concerned about this plant-based treaty Would be concerned that people comply with the nutritional standards for school meals and for feeding older people I'm not aware that any of actually said that they're going to come out and sign up to the plant-based treaty but we would need to follow through on that the evidence would need to be provided that they're going to give the alternatives because you can follow a nutritionally signed vegan diet or a plant-based diet it is possible but it takes far more knowledge and understanding about the mix of proteins to get the quality of protein you require for good body function there's different kinds of amino acids you need them in different proportions to get that quality and I would just want to seek assurance in any way Thank you Sandesh, you have some questions on food safety just a note to members we've got 15 minutes left and I've got Sandesh on food safety and then Stephanie wants to come in on the Public Health Restriction Promotions Bill which has already been mentioned but if there's any more we might be struggling to bring another member in she hinted Sandesh, I just want to ask a question on the back Heather Yes, it is more expensive to buy a higher quality cut of meat but I feel that we might eat too much meat and actually having a majority of your diet being vegetarian with fish as well and a reduction in that meat would allow that higher quality to be purchased and look everyone has different levels of where they are going to be able to afford but to buy red meat maybe once a week and the best one that you can afford would surely be better than having the processed food I agree with everything you've said in terms of there isn't a huge amount of requirement at the moment nationally we're already below that 70 grams on average across Scotland of red meat per day it's at 60 I believe in the last tracker I need to check the actual number that we're already reducing there are still some people that eat a very meat dependent diet at the extremes but on average for the population we're within that target of 70 grams per day in terms of quality of meat in choice, yes having fish there are some parts of Scotland that do struggle to get access to fish regularly and freshly but I think and again fish is not the cheap food because when I was a child it's quite pricey, sometimes more pricey than meat I think if we could continue to work with the meat industry to ensure that all of the animal is produced in a way that maximises the health qualities so that we can offer people that choice and range there are some groups of the population that have a far greater taste towards European sausages etc and things like that so I think we've got to try and not constrain choice to make sure that the choices that are available are healthy, nutritious and don't do damage on what we were talking about meat but I think if we look at food logistics it's incredibly complicated to get from the farm to our tables so what is it that Food Standards Scotland does to ensure that the safety and ensure that standards are maintained is a step of this very incredibly complicated journey I'll give that one to Geoff so in terms of the legal requirement actually is that the producer of the food is responsible for making sure it's safe that is the process so there's a whole variety of mechanisms that we will use so that will include some direct oversight that we have in terms of abattoir production it includes local authority in terms of inspections of food businesses it includes food businesses doing their own sampling and surveillance it includes us doing sampling and surveillance through the local authorities so there's a kind of system of verification and check every food business is required to produce a food safety management plan and the local authorities will inspect that food safety management plan when they do an inspection so the system is pretty robust more recently again post horse meat there is the food industry integrity network which was set up post horse meat which is a collaboration around sharing intelligence and information around food safety issues then obviously there's issues around import controls and checks at import level so depending on where you pick at the point in the supply chain there is a mechanism for verification and checking the safety of it but primarily the responsibility is for the retailers and of course the other thing aside from the official regulators you've also got third party assurance schemes like the BRC IFS and a few others who are also accreditation schemes and independent audit systems as well and we also audit local authorities in terms of ensuring that local authorities are actually undertaking their functions as a competent authority so it's a fairly complex network of how food safety is assured I think as we said and the report we produced with the FSA there is very little evidence to suggest that there are any kind of significant threats or risk to our food safety system so going to the Royal Highland show some of the producers were telling me how they could actually tell you exactly what was in the beef the mince they could tell you exactly where that's come from through their work which is quite incredible my last question I'm not sure if you're able to answer this but I want to ask it with food safety I think food security is very important with the war in the Ukraine I am incredibly concerned with possible future conflicts on the horizon whether we are able to ensure that in the United Kingdom whether in Scotland we have food security is this something, an area that you're working on or is this something you can certainly try to ensure that we have there's a couple of things I think it's under the UK Government's Agriculture Act the Secretary of State is required to produce food security report I think every five years so we fed into that for the first year in response to the Ukraine Marie Goudre on the cabinet secretary set up the Ukraine task force and one of the recommendations that came out of that was to set up a food security unit within the Scottish Government which we kind of feed into and work with and I think there's a general certainly in some of the discussions for example I've had with New Zealand I think there is a general raising of awareness around the importance of food security across most nations actually so I think it has gone up the agenda quite significantly I think obviously food security is one of those things around it means different things to different people and actually the challenge around food security are different depending on where you live if you take Scotland's natural geography and you're going to invent or be able to suddenly increase your wheat production for example so I think the food security challenges are different for each country and I think there is a general view around we do need to make sure that we're on it and yeah so the food security unit in Scottish Government has the lead and we feed into it I'd just like to add it's not just potential conflict climate change affecting different parts of the world could also impact on our food supply if you think of Mediterranean countries with very high temperatures this last summer a lot of our fresh fruit and vegetables comes from those countries so it's a multitude of issues that need to be considered and I think that's one of the opportunities that the Food Commission have about looking at local to promote more local food across Scotland I suppose the other risk alongside all that is actually the increased risk for potential food crime if the risk of substitution and adulteration to maintain profit against pressure in the system so you use an alternative cheaper ingredient and claim it's the original ingredient and charge the same price so again we've not seen any evidence of that we are looking for it but we've not seen any evidence of it but again it's one of those understand the consequences of the horizon and making sure we're alive to that and I think we did when we had the session with Paul we did actually we've offered it to this committee and the rain committee to actually do it for obvious reasons a private session around what we're doing around food crime and intelligence so again we can pick that up and do that separately but obviously that would have to be a food health research programme so that we're looking at research and working with the Savari institutes across Scotland to look at emerging sources of new proteins et cetera so there's quite a breadth of activities going on around a future food okay thank you so as promised on to our last theme and questions from Steffi Calhann on the public health restriction of promotions bill thank you I do have a couple of questions my first one I know we've spoken about obesity already and about the complexities around it, the links to poverty to energy prices et cetera too so just for clarity and I'm conscious of times the short answer would be quite good if possible to what extent do you expect the bill to help to address obesity levels and protect public health could I ask that to you Jen or Heather you'd prefer again I'd say the bill is an important bill in helping to shift and change the food environment this bill alone is not going to be the only solution to it but I think it's an important one the importance of promotions in terms of say it will require some kind of deep analysis of the business models that are currently being used and I think that's the right thing that's what it should be doing but going back to the points I made about out of home and the general issues around how fat cell and sugar this is an important bill that will help make a difference thank you very much and the focus of the bill clearly is on influencing individuals behaviour a restricting access but there is that need to address things at a wider level as well so one example that I know certainly one of my local councils looked at was community access to school kitchens and even in times which provides cooking skills provides hot food nutritious food and also helps with isolation and things as well so that was just an example and oh there's obviously complexities around it but that doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt to do these things so I'm wondering thinking in the very broadest terms what other legislation or policy initiatives might be helpful in improving people's food choices and protecting public health and I'm not sure who wants to answer that I'll answer it cos I've got a little bit of an answer and then I'll let Heather pick up the only ideas I think that example you've given for example things like the discussion we had around the good food nation earlier on around local plans there's no restriction on innovation at a strategic level in terms of what can be done so I think as well there is a pretty good local authority network you've got COSLA you've got the society of local authority chief executives in place so there are mechanisms where local authorities at a strategic level can share their ideas and their innovations so I would say things like good food nation plan means there's nothing off the table what the local opportunity might be I think the challenge is making sure you've got that balance between what you might want to do at a macro level versus what you might need to do at a local level and making sure that we get that balance in terms of opportunity in terms of other ideas I'll pass that to Heather I think Geoff mentioned earlier about our disappointment that the sugar levy only applied to soft drinks so I'd personally quite like to see that revisited and to consider whether or not some of our leveys could be allocated across other food groups because I think that that had a degree of success not just in affecting the price of higher sugar drinks but also in bringing down the average level of sugar content in soft drinks and I'd like to see that rolled out because when we speak to some of the big retailers that own branded products the non-branded store products, they've already brought down some of the high fat, high salt, high sugar but they're not seeing that same process happening in the branded products so something that perhaps nudged that reformulation agenda a little bit further along would be very helpful I think that the bringing together of our initiatives on community development that whole approach that community empowerment community development's good for wellbeing to see that reach across into the healthy eating and increasing the cooking skills, the shopping skills of people I think that's a good one and I think that cross-agenda approach that we don't just look at food as food but we look across as I mentioned earlier about agricultural policy about what we do in schools but also what we do under community development and bring that together this is the biggest public health problem Scotland's facing at the moment on life expectancy treatment of disease economic success, people being absent from work, it's hugely important that we address this and I think it's not a single item agenda, I think it goes across food availability food education and the whole breadth of things and I'd like to see all aspects of Scottish policy have a think about it might not be completely relevant but if they think about it if there's an opportunity to move things towards improving the food environment I'd be very grateful Can I just pick up on the point that you said there as well about supermarket branded products saying that they're not following suit but we also have a situation as well where you've got for example the cheapest stone brand serials aren't fortified with nutrients in the same way as some of your leading brands are the more expensive own brand products are is that something that's come up at all I'm just wondering if that's arisen I would need to check my fats on that I think that some of those fortifications are going to be re-looped at because of the folate acid supplementation that's coming through so if you don't mind I would like to talk to the nutrition team about that I thought that most serials were fortified but be grateful if you could come back to them My understanding, we will check it my understanding is that the compositional changes have mainly been around the salt and sugar content Thank you for everything that you've told us today it certainly feeds into a lot of our health and the quality of the work that we're already undertaking so thank you very much for that that concludes the public part of our meeting today our next meeting will begin stage 1 scrutiny of the patient safety commissioner for Scotland bill and we'll take evidence from Barnas Cumberlage but that's us for today, thank you

Every gun welding police officer has gone through intensive hard work of training which is a cornerstone to redness. The trainings that we the palamiriteri trails involving serious war techniques, police law, social science, and the pass out. This unit's objectives are based on the duties and responsibilities assigned by the state. These are prevention, detection and combating tourist activities, cooperating with other security organs at national and international level in terms of information sharing. More police officers were trained in specialized fields such as CID, community policing, anti-GBV training, road safety rules and regulations, criminology master's degree, monitoring and evaluation of police performance, end-fighting corruption, fire and rescue training, peace support operations training including FEMA police officers. More courses are conducted at the newly inaugurated National Police College with the second inter-COVID senior command and staff course ongoing. Twelve countries to as far as Ghana attended the previous intake. Rana National Police has developed ways of extending its services to further strengthen its cooperation with the people of Rwanda and beyond through electronic policing which is a collection, storage and sharing of information between citizens and the police i.e. registration for the driver's licenses, results, police recruitment form, etc. Today the capacity of CID in terms of human resources and structure has modernized and equipped to cover the entire nation. For crime scene management the forensic laboratory has been equipped with professional produce evidences that bring to justice the offenders of the laws that govern the country. In response to GBV, Isanguwan Stop Center which get us for GBV victims was established and officiated by the First Lady Mdm. Jeanette Kagami and the AntGBV Intial Protection Directorate. With this unit the institution has focused more on equipping and modernizing it with the state of art gear to improve road safety measures put in place that have made Rwanda's roads the safest with minimal crashes in the region. The community and Rana National Police recognize the importance of strengthening partnerships in securing the environment. This builds confidence that this world thought program assists in crime prevention and the attainment of security that is a fundamental basis for development and the vision of Rwanda. Campaigns and sisterization programs that engage the community have tremendously helped in reducing crimes. Since 2010 Rwanda National Police scaled up its community outreach mission to for the top the root cause of crimes by engaging the public through its yearly police week campaigns, antGBV campaigns and the community policing week campaigns. The infrastructure development unit is mandated to carry out studies and analyze the construction of police projects, plan and execute construction works. Through the support of Rwanda Police's partners a lot of structures were constructed, rehabilitated and renovated. These are antGBV block and women pavilion facility, Isangi One Stop Center, CID Center of Excellence, Joint Operations Center, Police Ethics Center, Peace Support Operations Training Center, Renovation and Rehabilitation of National Police College, Rehabilitation of Police Training School in Gishari. Rwanda National Police has also embarked on the living standards of the forest availing healthcare insurance, loans and housing scheme project built for police officers enhanced staff transportation, buses, other vehicles and motorcycles that were donated to the forest. All this emat responding to a highly sophisticated cross border transnational crimes and criminals posing a serious threat to the citizens of the globe. It is over 20% of police female officers in the forest. This is to ensure no sources of gender discrimination and following the line of government policy of gender mainstreaming in its institutions with a mission of having capable and smart women in policing that will add value to the national police as a professional institution that potentially benefits the police and Rwandans in general. This directorate has put in place systems and protocols to facilitate and coordinate all pertinent issues important to Rwanda National Police from foreign institutions, organizations and countries that are all capable of teaming up with the institution through major beneficial cooperation. Rwanda National Police has actively placed its best foot forward by participating in peace support operations in several African countries including Haiti. With over hundreds of highly professionalized service men and women determined to assist in laying the foundation of sustainable peace and security in troubled regions with high levels of professional policing skills execute all task-giving and return home with medals for service, protection and integrity. Rwanda National Police at your service.


Kashmir has not only been blessed by nature, it has also the distinction of having a unique way of life. That is a synthesis of a variety of cultures and religious influences. This cultural ethos is known as Kashmiriyat. Kashmiriyat when experienced as a culture inspires coexistence. Kashmiriyat when perceived as a faith is an amalgamation of four great traditions. Shaivism of Hindus, Islamic mysticism called Sufism, Buddhism's Nirvana and Sikhism's Ek Omkar. Kashmiris refer to their land as Rishiwar, the valley of Rishis and Sufi Peers, who have had a significant impact on the evolution of a culture known worldwide as Kashmiriyat. Sufism was introduced in Kashmir in early 14th century with the arrival in the valley of a Muslim Sufi Bulbul Shah from Turhistan. His tomb is in downtown Srinagar. As more and more Muslim Sufis known as Darveshis came to Kashmir from Persia and Central Asia, Kashmir became a center of Sufism like Delhi and Ajmer. Kashmir abounds in Dargaz and Ziarats, revered equally by Hindus and Muslims. The shrine of Baba Rishi, another highly revered Kashmiri saint near Gulmar is strong by both Muslims and Hindus of the valley. He employed discourses, discussions, debates, revelations and miracles for the purpose. He initiated a new system Rishiyat bearing a strong impression of the country. 45 kilometers from Pahalgau, situated in a narrow gorge at the father end of Lidder valley is the holy Amarnath cave. Another example of Hindu-Muslim harmony in Kashmir, legend has it that a Muslim from Baal Kote called Bhutamalik discovered the holy cave nearly 5000 years ago. He was given a sack of coal by a Sadhu and upon reaching home, he discovered that the coal had turned into gold. Overjoyed, Malik rushed back to look for the Sadhu. Another spot he had met the Sadhu, Bhutamalik discovered a cave. Not far away is the Kheer Bhavani temple at Tulmula. Situated 30 kilometers from Srinagar, the temple houses a spring and the idol of the Mother Goddess. The color of the water in the spring keeps on changing and according to the legend, when it turns black, it is considered a bad omen for the valley. And the foothill of Hari Parbat is situated the Gurdwara Chhati Pad Shahi. The sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind Singh, travelled through Kashmir stopping to preach. A Gurdwara was built at the exact location of his each halt. The most important of them is this Gurdwara Chhati Pad Shahi which is held in great reverence by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. Jammu, the winter capital of JNK, too has numerous shrines. The holiest shrines of Jammu region is the Vaishnodevi, located at an altitude of 5200 feet, approximately 12 kilometers from Katra. Away from Vaishnodevi in the west is Shahadra Sharif, the famous shrine of Baba Ghulam Shah, 30 kilometers from Rajori. This shrine considered a symbol of communal harmony attracts Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs in large numbers who come here to seek the blessings of the peer. There are many other shrines dotted across the state of Jammu and Kashmir which have stood as beacons of peace and humanity for centuries. They have had a deep impact on the social, religious and cultural life of the people.


She didn't like the Peloton. She did not like the Peloton. I told you so. Come on in. You want a Buffalo Trace? That would be great. I'm gonna... I'm gonna need to stay here a little longer than I thought. An ironing board? Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Hey everybody, thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. This time of the year can be a little bit difficult. So we thought we'd add a little bit more levity to what hopefully is a very joyful time of the year for you. We both love Buffalo Traces. It's not a sponsored piece by them. However, Buffalo Trace, if you want to collab on some stuff, we would love to. Slide in my DMs, get my digits, get crunk, let, all that stuff, right? You know what the kids say? Not really. But whatever you do this holiday season, be sure to do it safely and with the people you love. On behalf of Mike and I, cheers and drinks made easy. What do the kids say?


Solitude is an act of charity to yourself. So give generously, look after you, invest in you, give generously to you, that's when my solitude became. And I said on a post recently that long innocent solitude are two countries whose borders touch on the passport, the passcode, the tunnel, the way from one country to the other for me again has been through self-awareness. I became aware that my loneliness was not from people. It was from myself. And I became aware that the way to make that a good not a bad thing was to pursue and become intentional about solitude and enjoy that emptiness, that my lack of self-awareness and self-consciousness called loneliness a problem to fix. That's what self-consciousness does. Self-consciousness makes you conscious of what someone else calls that space. And they said he's lonely, people have left him, he's on his own. Self-awareness maybe realize actually, I am not missing people. I'm missing myself, I'm separate from me. If I reconnect with me, I think I can survive hundreds more of these people going and be absolutely fine than I was. And I became brilliant at saying goodbye. See you later, or maybe not. And you can too. I think that's why Jesus, by the way, when Peter said to him, I'll never desert you, I'll never deny you, you can count on me. He said to Peter, no you will, you'll do it three times before tonight. That's okay. I know you're over promising and you can't deliver because you tend to do that, Peter. That's okay, I don't rely on you. I know I'll die alone and I'm okay with that. And so he managed to not believe these people and so must you.


I enjoyed my time with Project Hope in the Philippines, especially the days that I was able to get off the ship and interact with the local community. It's a unique experience to travel this far and to see people living in ways that are very similar to me but in other ways very different. The people of the Philippines are exceptionally friendly and grateful for us coming to visit them. They would run up to us and say hello and even offer us food or meals on medical missions. I was able to see several patients per day and I really enjoyed interacting with them and talking with them about their daily lives. My memorable moments were a collection of multiple patients, especially the children I saw, even the ones who weren't necessarily sick, seeing many kids with just respiratory infections, colds and flus and being able to talk to them and see how they lived their lives and talk to their parents and how they take care of them was probably the most enjoyable and interesting part of my experience.


Hello everybody and welcome to this training on workflow reports. So today we'll talk about workflow reports which are a special kind of report you can define at the end of any workflow that summarizes the most important results. So before we get started let's make sure we have galaxy open, and we have a fresh history. So if you see some other history here click on the plus icon to start a new one and just give it a name you'll remember like workflow reports. Okay, second thing we need is the training manual. So all the steps I do today you can read in there as well, plus some additional information probably. So you can access the training materials always at the top bar of galaxy with this graduation cap icon. This opens the training materials website. And to find our tutorial for today we're going to scroll down to the galaxy tips and tricks section and click on the topic called using galaxy and managing your data. So there are a lot of short tutorials on here that really focus on using one feature of galaxy. So you see if there's things about uploading data histories managing your data if you have lots of data sets. And we're going to go scroll down to the workflows section and find workflow reports and then click on the computer icon to open the training materials. So, like I said workflow result reports allow you to summarize most important results of a workflow. So this is especially useful if you have very large workflows if, or if you are sharing them with people who are maybe not so familiar with either galaxy, or the tools that are used in the workflow. So instead of having to look through the galaxy history and find the interesting results and clicking on the icon for each of them to view the results. You can define a workflow report that takes the most important results and puts them in a single page single web page report. So in this tutorial we will show you how you can view such reports, how you can define them or change them, and how you can share them with others. So if you can do anything we will need a example workflow. So here we're just going to take a simple workflow which is the workflow use in the galaxy 101 for everyone tutorial. And we'll just use that as an example. So let's import that workflow first so if we scroll down to this first hands on box, you can copy the URL. You can go back to galaxy by clicking anywhere outside of the tutorial window and going to this workflow menu at the top. So this gives you a list of all your workflows so you may already have some workflows here or maybe empty it doesn't matter. Either way we're going to click on this import button at the top right. And then you have a menu with various options so we can either upload a file from our computer if we've downloaded the workflow previously, or you can just provide a URL like we have. So we'll paste in the URL there, and then hit this button import workflow, and then it will import it and bring you back to this list so you should see now at the top of the list. Galaxy 101 for everyone imported from your own. So this is our workflow. So the exact contents of this workflow is not really important right now that only important thing is that here. We have a data set with perform some data manipulation and some plotting on this data set. So we're going to make workflow report that shows these plots show some of these tables at the end of each workflow run. So first let's get a feel of this workflow a little bit so let's run it once without doing anything. And then we will create a report and see how that looks. So let's go back to the training material by clicking on this hat icon again. And if you scroll down now to the second hands on box. There's a link here as a note a link to an iris dot CSV file. So we're going to hit the copy button and import that. So on the left side of Galaxy have this upload data button. Click on that then choose paste fetch data at the bottom, paste in the URL and hit start. So this is a nice small file should be relatively quick. And we will just run this workflow once there's always a sort of default report that is made at the end. This is not customized yet of course because Galaxy doesn't know what your workflow is about but it'll give you some standard information like what the inputs were how long it took to run things like that. So we'll show you how to do that too. So when it's done uploading we just have a very quick look at this file. The details aren't important. But you'll see that it's a tabular file with some information about different flower species different iris species. So we have some information about the length and width of the pedals and the sepals for different species. Okay, so first up let's run this workflow that we have. So we're going to go back to this workflow at the top. You're going to at the top of the list should be the tutorial we or the workflow we update uploaded. And we're going to hit to run workflow here at the right this play button. And this tutorial only takes one input so we'll just give it the iris dot CSV file and run it. Okay, so I already selected the iris file. You can click on this expand full workflow form if you want to see which tools is going to to performance going to some format conversion, some day manipulation steps, cutting and grouping, and then to scatter plots are made. Okay, so just run hit run workflow. And we'll see the progress here, and then we'll just wait until everything is finished. So it shouldn't take too long. A couple minutes. I see already here, everything that will be created. So just wait a few minutes maybe grab a cup of coffee but shouldn't take more than two or three minutes. Okay, so once your workflow is finished, we can have a quick look at the output. And you can see here that it's made to scatter plots, so you can view them quickly so there's some nice plots about the data set. And click on the unique data sets. It shows a list of all the different unique species in the data set. And the group outputs give something similar they group it for species and then give the average value for some of these. So these are the points in the, in the data set. Okay, so these are the kinds of things tables and images we would like to include in our report. Now every workflow already has a very simple default report so first I will show you how to access this report and then we can work on adapting it to customizing it to what we want. So you get the workflow reports, you click on user here. And then you scroll down to workflow invocation so an invocation is a run of a work. So you click on this in here, every workflow you've run across different histories is listed here. You can find the one at the top that you just ran. If we click on that here you see a little bit more information. So you see here that it's completed so these bars should be green if it's done. And you see here view report. So if we click on this view report, these words, we will be taken to sort of the default report that galaxy has made for workflow. So here this is what a galaxy report looks like. So it gives some information about the title of the workflow that was run. And some information about when it was run and the unique ID. So it gives us the input data set so it gives the beginning. If we scroll down we can see here the input data set that was used. It shows already some outputs and information about the workflow. So this is already a very good start. But you'll notice that for example, the images are missing here. So we would want to edit this report to include the images and probably especially if we want to share this with other people who would like to add some text around all these boxes to say what the outputs mean. For example, what does this 50 here mean because it's not obvious. So things like this you can do you can add to the tutorials or sorry to the workflow report you can add text and sections and anything really that you want. So maybe we also want to hide things like the input data set because that's maybe less interesting than the results. So we can edit this. So to do that, we will go to workflow again. So these workflow reports are defined together with the workflow. So if you download the workflow definition file after you've made changes to the workflow report. So these live together so if you then share the workflow with other people you're also sharing the workflow report definition that you've made so they will get the same workflow report whenever they run this workflow. So, we will go to the workflow. So you may have seen that when we were looking at the report itself there was this little edit button but that's really to edit that one specific workflow report for that run. But what we want to do is change the definition so that every time this workflow runs, we get this updated workflow report at the end of it. So we are going to go to our workflow list again. This time we're going to click on the link. And we are going to go to the edit menu. So you may already be familiar with this workflow editor so here you can really see in this block diagram a little bit all the different steps that this workflow does so you can zoom out a little bit in this control here. So you really see here I was data set format conversion data mash scatter plot all the steps. Okay, so but that is all fine we just want to edit the report. So we go to the top right here. So you have all these icons and the third one here is the edit report. This is the definition of the report so this is something called markdown simple markup language to define text based outputs. So you see here this will be the title. And this is some. This is the default so that the inputs the outputs and the workflow that's the default report that you get for any workflow. And on the left here you see a lot of different components that you could add. So you can say, for example, job metrics, or maybe you want the galaxy version. So here and then I'll add this block for you that generates the galaxy version, and you can type in this so you can. Yeah, let's change this standard title so if we know this is going to be every time but irises we can say it iris report. Or if you know that your users may use this for different types of flowers you would say flower report so and this is really up to you. And it's often also nice to add some text so you can introduce a little bit the workflow and the components below so yeah just type anything here doesn't really matter at this point. But let's just play around with this and type here anything really. So below is the report about people and pedal. Flowers, for example, this can be anything of this just an example. So, let's also at the top here so wherever you put your cursor if you then click a component on the left to add, it'll be at a point so let's start off with the galaxy version which is always nice to remember. If you're looking back. Also if you have to write up before you paper and you have to give all these sort of data. So current times also an option so you see here as a generate time. Yeah so you can you can explore this a little bit and play around. So we could also say okay let's just remove the inputs. I don't think that's interesting. So here we have the workflow outputs, we would like to also add images, because we know those are missing. So we can click here on image. Okay, so here you see, you can select out labels, but we don't really see anything that looks like an image okay. So this is because we have not added labels to our workflow outputs yet. So anything you might want to use in a report you have to edit the workflow first to add a label and then appear in this list. So this is to make like if you have a workflow that gives hundreds of outputs you don't want that list that long so you would label sort of the most important outputs here. So we will go back and show you how to add labels before. So just for now, let's cancel that we can add any more text you want here so it's always nice and maybe say before you can make a subheading with two hash symbols, saying okay, or workflow stats or something. And with the galaxy version and galaxy time. Okay, so we made a few small changes. So we want to save this. So you can safely now return to workflow with sex. And when you're in this workflow menu again you can save save the workflow including the workflow report definition. Okay, so we can run this again just to see. How are changes affected the workflow report so we can, we can do that directly from this workflow edit menu as well so there's again this run workflow icon here so we can click on this run workflow. We are again going to give it the iris dot CSV file as input. So this time you will have to change it back again, and run workflow again. So again we will wait till that is finished and then look at the report. Okay, so once the second run of the workflows also finished you we can view the report again and see our changes. So if you didn't navigate away here like I that you may be able to access it from from the workflow status there but the way you can always get back to it is under user menu here at the top, workflow invocations. And it'll be the most recent one. And then we click on this to expand it. And we go to view report here again. And let's see. So you can see now in this report, the changes we made so we changed the title here. We added a bit of text and some workflow stats so this is the galaxy version and the time that this was run. It's been more clear if we added a little bit of text around these values to say this was run on galaxy version this. So we'll do that in our next edit. So again, we would like to edit this report to include the images from the workflow. Like I said first we will have to add workflow labels to make sure they show up in our list. So we'll go to the workflow menu again here at the top. We're going to select our workflow and go to the edit menu again editor. So we want to scatter plot tools. The outputs for those to be labeled so that we can use them more easily in our report. So we always zoom in and out a little bit if you need here and move the boxes if they're stacked on top of each other. So we have two scatter plot tools in this workflow. And if you click on one of the boxes on the right you'll see the settings for that. That run that tool. So here this one for us is the makes a plot with this title, a sepal length as function of sepal width, and the one below it for us. If we go. We scroll down we see this is the pedal length as function of the pedal with. Okay, but how do we add a label. So we're going to scroll down all the way to the bottom. And we're going to say configure output. So here you see there are two outputs. And at the top here you can say you can add a label. So these two outputs correspond to these two that you see in the box here so output one will be the PNG and output two will be anything else you made maybe PDF. So in our case with let's use the PNG output for our report so we're going to add a label to that so go to configure output output one and add here a label. So since we also want to distinguish between the two plots, let's make this label also reflect what is plotted so I choose to scroll up okay this was pedal length. So we're just going to call it pedal plots plots and maybe PNG. And you see that as I'm typing this, the value also changed in the box here. So you know that you've got the correct output of the two. So let's do the same for the other Gigi plots scatter plot output so again click on the box and the right scroll down till you see the configure output sections. We'll take one and label it this time is simple plot. Plot PNG output. Okay and again you saw that it changed here. So those are labels added so let's just save the workflow to be safe. And then we can also right away edit the workflow report again to include these two images now in the report so we go to this edit report button again next to the save icon. So you see here, our previous report definition. So in the workflow outputs, let's start with the plot so we can make a section here again, we can say, simple plot. People plot and let's try to insert now the image again to on the left or all the components you can insert into a report like this are going to click on image. So you see that this time our list is longer and now includes the two labels we just added. So we'll add a select here the simple plot output PNG output. And so here you see this was added, and this will show the plot and let's do the same for the pedal plot. Click on image here, select the pedal plot and continue. Okay, so now hopefully it should add these two components also to our report. So if there are any other changes you would like to make at this point so I mentioned it would have been nice maybe if we said as I have some introductory text here around the galaxy version. So we can say this workflow was run on galaxy version colon. And this work flow was run at. Okay, just so it makes a little bit more sense for people reading this, this workflow. So when you are happy with the way your workflow report looks again you can click the x year to return to workflow so any changes are still safe to have to make sure to hit the save button on this next window again save workflow. Okay, so we're going to run this workflow now one last time to show that the images are included. So again, let's run workflow. And again, let's change the input to our very first data set Iris at CSV, and hit run. So once this is done again. If you did not navigate away so you would see here also a link to the view the report. But if you did navigate while waiting navigate away from this page.  So let's click on view report here should now see all the last batch of changes we made. So you see that indeed now the text we added around here on the galaxy version and the runtime has been changed. And you see now that our plots are also there with the section headings. So great that's it so there are a lot more sort of different components you can add to this galaxy reports I encourage you to play around with these and if you have questions ask them in chat. And so the final thing I want to show you is how to share this report. So there are two different ways to share so if you want to share the configuration so that when people run the workflow themselves that they also get this report that shows the plots and this basic information and has this title then you just share the workflow in the way you're used to sharing a workflow so either you can download the workflow and send it via email or whatever. Or you can create a share link. So just as a reminder, if you go to the workflow menu again at the top, click on the workflow and click share. There are several options here so you can get a URL that you can send to people. So here would say make workflow accessible. If you want this publicly available so for instance if this is part of a published workflow for paper or you just want everybody on galaxy to see it you can also select this one. And this is a link you can share with people. Or if you want to just share it with maybe one or two other users on this with your collaborators on this server you can also give their email addresses here and they will be able to see it. So that is if you want to share the report definition, the workflow itself with the definition included. Now one other thing of course you could do is you want to share one specific report so with one specific run with one specific data set and you want to share those results. So there's a different way to do that. So we just need to go back to the report real quick so go to user workflow invocations. Click on the latest one here and go to view report. So if you want to share this specific report that was run today, 1128. You can go here to the top you see this edit button. So here you can, first of all you can make changes to this specific reports of in this case you would like to add some more. This doesn't affect at all the next time you run the workflow but it does affect this one reports so here we can say okay we had a little bit generic but in this case is the virus reports so we can change that if we want. And we can save it. And now it is saved as a galaxy page. This is, yeah, a way to share these reports and pages now let's look at this for a second if we click on here. So again you see your public URL so you can you can share this URL with other people and they'll be able to view this report. And then you see here okay this is here you see the change we made at that point that we shared our support. And everything so now you can share the link to this with anybody and they'll be able to see the workflow report for your specific run of the workflow with your specific data set. And if you want to find this back later so let's say you navigate it away from this like oh I had the galaxy page, where is that now. So, you can go to user and then pages. And then you will be taken back to this list of pages that you may have. Yeah you can add a manual pages to if you want. And again if you click on this drop down, you can say share or publish here as well. To again share with specific users if you want here with individual users by email, or I say make this page accessible so that people that have the link that anybody who has a link and do it. And if this is like something you really want to show off, you can make a page available in the published pages. If we do this. You see here the published pages and you can also get to the published pages page under here share data at the top pages so here you can see every page that other people on this galaxy server have shared made published on the server and then ours will be included there if you want, but by default it's just the hero. Okay so you see here this is the one we just shared and here are some published pages that other people have shared. So anybody on the server can see all these pages. And of course, if you want to stop sharing you can also do that. So I hope now you got a good first look at workflow reports. You've seen how to view these reports, how to customize them how to find them, and how to share them. So I hope you start using these these are very nice feature, especially if you're sharing your workflow with other people. And yeah, play around with it and feel free to ask us any questions in chat. Thank you for listening.
