right? It's not about losing money. Actually, the losings are the good ones because if you know why we're losing money in these positions, we're going to see why and why we're making money on these positions. We're going to see why that is also. So we're just here to have fun. Okay? That's what it's all about. Fun and learn. Okay? But before we do that, let me go to the presentation really quick and just go over this. Okay?  We're probably going to talk for about 30 minutes. I'm not going to waste too much time with everyone. And basically, we're just going to go over just one or two things. And then we're going to go right to the trading system. And we want to kind of teach you our style and what you're going to get that you probably never knew you can get at Cybertrain University and why we have a five-star rating on Google, why we are the most popular and most brand-name education school in the industry, and why we've been around for 30 years. So let's just do a quick little recap of what we talked about on lesson one. So lesson one, I kind of got into detail of telling you why I don't like indicators. Okay? Why they don't work. You know, we talked about the delays.  And hopefully now you're starting to realize that it's all about the future. The future is following the big block orders. That's why we are here. And that's where everybody gets themselves in trouble with. So we talked about that. I showed that why a lot of you are reading charts backwards, you know, with that chart. And the benefits of day trading, you have to understand that day trading, I know a lot of people says, well, I don't know if it's too fast for me. I don't like it. Let me explain some to you. If you don't know how to day trade, it is so hard to be a good swing trader and it's going to be a lot harder to be an options trader. You have to understand that it's the movement of the stock. Over the course of the day, that will make you start thinking, well, maybe I do want to make a swing trade or maybe, oh, maybe you know what? There's good options trades on. I could do an option trade. But before you do that, you know, people make things more complicated. They mix and match. And, you know, and that's something that we covered. And most importantly, how to keep things simple, right? Because some of you are making things just way, way too complicated. Now, what we covered in lesson two is we covered a lot of the iceberg orders, okay? The big block orders. And we showed you how easy it is to recognize them. Now, for some of you that did not get my email address, let me just put this in there. And by the way, if you feel shy, you know, you don't want to say it maybe not a fast hyper, you want to maybe explain something, just email me, all right? And not only that, but hopefully everyone had the opportunity to subscribe to our channels. I do answer back a lot better on my Instagram, my YouTube, all those, you know, all my channels, TikTok and all them X, just please subscribe to them. It's free, doesn't cost you anything. It's nice to kind of get, you know, kind of be on top of what's going on. But I covered a lot of it on iceberg orders. Now I'm coming out with a new series of iceberg orders, some nice good looking shorts, they're going to start coming out today. So if you subscribe to those channels, make sure you're going to start seeing them. There's thanks very much, Greg, posting that Instagram link right there. So just click on it and you can start registering right there. I'll actually click on it myself and just show you how simple it is. Here it is, here's our Instagram and don't want to sign in, but you can see here, look at this, look how great this is. You kind of get all the watch lists. Okay, bring that up there. I may have to log in. No, my password's wrong. You know what happened? I just reinstalled Windows on my computer, so all my passwords are wrong. But you can see here, look at all the chats. We do an economic calendar. You got some really good videos. You can see some of the reels, some of the short videos that I made, you know, a lot of really good reels there. You can see my cat Chloe, all that stuff there. Just a lot of why some of these stocks went up 200%, you know, how things dropped, all these good cool stuff right here. All right, so there's the link for that. Great videos. Now that we're going to talk about today, which is where we're at right now on lesson three. Lesson three is going to show you how we scan the market, how we find those iceberg orders, everything that we learn in lesson one and two, we're going to apply to lesson three. Now, did everybody get the opportunity to take the quiz? I know we sent out an email on it and we just posted in there. I'm not going to, you know, and what's nice about the quiz, it kind of tests your knowledge a little bit how you got graded and all that stuff. Brick it and take it. Okay. Well, you know what, just Robert, you took it. So anyway, let me just push that link up there one more time. I can't grab it right here, but let me just find grab it this way, maybe grab it. Let's get grab this HP.  You'll like it. It's a lot of fun.  Okay.  Keep it super simple. There are basically four scanners that we kind of work on. The percentage gainer, a simple chart, a level three and a level four quote. That's what we need to follow the big money. And we're going to go through those right now in the next moment. So let's go dive into the market and let's see what we basically, what's going on. Now, we got this APM. Now, my question to everybody is this, why is this stock going up? Why is it going up? Does anybody know? What is driving this stock to go higher? Waiting for answers. Mike, you're right. Simon, you're right. Margaret, you're right. So it's not an indicator. It's not a bull of your band. All right. By the way, did anyone find this stock this morning on your own before coming to Cybertree University? Did anyone find this? And, you know, knew that there was an eight, a stock of 88%. It was an $8 stock. Actually, if you look over here, this stock back on the fifth, it went from, you can see it went from $1 to $17, $2 to $17 in one day, one stinking day. You know, it was a short squeeze. It's irrelevant, but you know, we're in it right now. Now the thing is this, we've got a couple of positions right now. Three of them that were open. Two of them were losers and one of them is a winner. Okay. Now the goal is this. Which one do you attack first? So my question to everybody is this. What do we attack first? Which out of all three of those stocks, which one should we be more focused on? Wayne, you're correct. Anyone else? Come on traders. You guys are trading every day or every other day or whatever. What do you look at? You got three positions open in your account. What do you focus on? What is your main concern? If you don't know the answer, I'll give you the answer that you should be putting in right now. Give me a question mark. I don't know. Be honest with yourself. Okay. Be honest. Are you sick? Are you not sick? Not that can't help you if you don't answer them back. You know? Correct. The right answer is your losers. The winners take care of themselves.  The winners take care of themselves. The losers we got a problem. So let's start with the biggest loser, PFE, Pfizer. Popular name. Everybody knows about it. Pfizer. What is Pfizer doing right now? What's happening with Pfizer? It's going up. It's going down. What is it doing? I know it's a dumb question.  It's going down, obviously. So the stock is going down. Now, do we sell it right now? Do we get out of it?  It's not like super tanking, but it is going down, right? Well, the thing is, it started this morning. It was good yesterday. I had a really good run, but now it's starting to go back down. So the thing is, do we sell it now? No. What we have to look at is possibly buy a put. Dennis, no. No. Why are you getting into options? You got to learn how to trade the stock first. You got to know where the buyers are. That's what you need to focus on. Where is the buyers on the stock? So Pfizer, PHE.  So right here, we're going to look for, what are we going to look for? A big block order. And I need to just do a couple of more things here. Hold on a second. A couple of, I got to change here. I got to load up on my level four, PFE, Pfizer. So looking for the big block orders, everyone, where do you see big buyers? Anyone see any big buyers anywhere at any specific price? Where do you see a big buyer? 25 is $3 added of the way. I don't want to hold it for a $3 loss right now. We're at $28. Margaret, you're right. Anyone else? Louis, you're wrong. You're going to go away. You're going to hold the stock all the way down to $24.50. Are you kidding me? You're going to, you're willing to take a $3.50 loss? No. Absolutely not. So there is a buyer at $25, but the right answer, and let me get my crayons out here so you guys can follow along, is right here. You got a $12,000 share buyer right there. Hold on. Let me freeze this so it doesn't keep moving and pausing. Yeah. So you got a buyer there, and you do got a buyer down here at $25. So you could see that it's not a big buyer, but it's somewhat of a buyer, right? It's somewhat a buyer. Now, another thing you want to look at is right here. Look where the stock basically, let me clear this out right here. Here are all my drawings, and you could see right here the stock just bounced, right? See it right there? It bounced right there. So that's $28. Now, let's go back and look at level four, all right? This is level four. Look what happened around here around $28. Oops. Yeah. Change something here. There we go. Look what happened around here at $28. So this buyer showed up around 9.30 in the morning, and he's been out there, and he added to his position, and you literally have $86,000. Because remember, level four, now you're seeing other exchanges, which you're not seeing. So for everyone said to sell, you lost. You failed. Yes, we're losing money as of now, but you ever hear the phrase, why every time I sell it, it goes up? And why every time I buy it, it goes down? Well, did you see the orders out there in the future? So this is the mistake that a lot of people make.  There was nothing to get nervous about. Yes, you're down money, but why sell it when you got a lot of buyers out there right now? Because this stock can go right back up. Stocks, what would go down? So anyway, let's move that over, and let's look at another in the next example, rum. Now, rum, my question to everyone is this. Do we sell rum here? Yes or no? Do we sell rum right now? We're losing money on rum, yes or no? That's the first answer, Irving, you have to say, and everyone else. No, you never sell right away. Why? Why sell it? First of all, you might need to sell it, but shouldn't you know where the future orders are? Should we see what the orders are? So what do we need to see to find those orders? That's right. Let's go check out and let's go check out the book viewer. Let me go right here. So we're going to bring it up here, we're going to unpause this, and we're going to bring up rum. So do you see any big iceberg orders anywhere in rum? Where do you see big iceberg orders? Let's see if everybody can answer this question. All right, Robert, you're correct. Wayne, I think you're a little bit out of the way. I mean, let's think about Wayne, are you willing to hold the stock at $8.25 and willing to ride it down to $6.50? Because if that was the case, I could just buy it back cheaper. You know what I'm saying? So why would I do that? If you don't know the answer, give me a question mark. Give me a question mark. Please tell me you don't know the answer, because that's how you stop losing money. Thank you very much. I'm glad Lewis and Simon, you're honest with yourself. Be honest, okay? So, because that's why we're here. You need to find where the big orders are. And right here, I can see there's a big buyer right here, around $8. I can see another big buyer right around here, around $6.70. I see another big buyer down here. Now, that's a big difference. So the real person that's going to hold us upright is right here, okay? That's the one we have to kind of be focused on. So now, when we go to, let me clear this out, and when we go here, look what happened on the IntraJ chart. There was, the stock came right down to the $8, came all the way down, hit the $8 and went back up.  Imagine selling at $8. Not only people sold at $8 and did not know that order was out there, that's the mistake that people make, okay? Remember, it's not the winners, it's the losers that people lose money on. That's why people go out of business. Everyone likes to talk about winners. No one likes to learn from the losers. And the reason why people lose, because they don't know when to take that loss, or when, have you ever heard that, was it Kenny Rogers? You got to know when to hold them, you know, and you got to know when to fold them, same thing. You got to know when to hold, you got to know when to fold. It's the same exact thing that you learn as trading. Now, let's bring this back and let's go to the other trade, APM. Last example, okay? Last example. Where do we get out of APM? What's our game plan on APM? APM is doing what right now? It's trending down. We had a nice profit. It was hovering here around $8.50, okay? So what do we do here? Do we take our profit? Do we hope to try to make that extra $100 that we just gave back? Exactly. We got to find the buyers, right, Simon, Mark? By the way, I didn't hear from you, John and Robert and Thomas, Todd.  Listen, you're not going to succeed in trading.  It's a 90% failure rate. Why would you even want to trade knowing you're in a big failure rate? And I'm telling you why it's a big failure rate because people don't know where to get, don't, you know, just don't know how to trade and know what's involved. You got to be able to talk. So let's go back and bring up our level two and let's look at the stock right here, APM. And let's just freeze this. All right. So where do you see buyers and sellers in APM? Where do you see big buyers and sellers? Well, if it's going down, what we're worried about going down, right? Where is the buyers on it? Around seven? Well, we just broke, right now, and looking at the stock right now, you could see it is moving pretty fast. Okay. When I go here on level four, I'm not really seeing big iceberg orders. Okay. I see somebody around 820, which if you look here, makes sense why it came down. And we should have known to get out of that position, you know, at that price. And let me bring this up a little bit closer. You could see it again. You could see all these sellers out there. And that was the reason why, you know, it went down. And now you could just see another seller just showed up for 10,000 at 750. And now you can see how the stock is starting to trend down. You see how it's going down? So getting into trade and losing money on it. Listen, let's just take something than nothing. You know what I mean? Like, let's get out.  We had a $200 profit. We didn't have a game plan in no way that resistance levels were doing those orders are out there. And now look at it. Now we, now we had a big profit. Now we made it. We broke down to make it a little profit. All right. So did I lose anybody yet? Did I lose anyone? Anybody get lost? Good. So who here wants to learn more? Who here wants to learn more? All right. Perfect. So this is what we're going to do. First things first, you got to subscribe to the channels. Okay. Because we got a great library of training forces on our YouTube channel, our Instagram, all that stuff. You got to subscribe to those channels. Okay. Step number one, anyone that you're a favorite of, if it's X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, you know, register all of them. And please make sure you like us, friend us, subscribe to the channel. Take care of that. All right. Next thing you got to always look at is, and by the way, this is something that if you're going to learn from anyone, they should be able to, you should be able to see this. Make sure that they're being endorsed and sponsored by all the brokerage firms. Okay. Listen, the FTC is very, very hard on these brokerage firms. They want to make sure people ain't teaching someone about the glory and the making money, but listen, they do a very big strict, very, very strict background checks on us. So listen, if it's good for them, it's got to be good for you. Okay. So I always kind of tell everyone, be careful. There's a lot of scammers out there. There's scammers and everything, even buying a car, buying a house, real estate brokers. You know, listen, it's all about them making money, right? Just be very, very careful. Do your homework, you know, check out their Google reviews, go check on the Better Business Bureau, check with the brokerage firms, and the people just kind of warn you who to stay away from. Anybody that talks about money that flashes in your face, comes out of a nice car, is the people you want to stay away from. Okay. That's what I was always taught. The way I was taught and the way I was hired is that they never showed the people how successful they are. They always showed people, is this the person you don't want to be? Listen, that takes care of themselves. The winners take care of themselves. Okay. You want to make a career in trading? Okay. You can't make the mistake that that person made. And that's why we spend more time talking about losers than winners. It's all about controlling profits and losses. Okay. So you spent the last three days mastering the basics of iceberg orders, and that's what we've done. Now it's time to take it to the next level. I want to give you guys one full week in the trading room. Okay. So we could take everything you saw and now see it if this really does work.  We only spent about 10 minutes. Imagine spending from eight o'clock in the morning all the way to four, four, 30 in the afternoon. All you have to do right now is take your phone, scan that QR code. If you have not done it yet, or just click on the trial link, we're going to post that link up there one more time for you. Just go to ctu.co forward slash trial. It's all you have to do. Now this is what you're going to get. You're going to get live commentary from all the instructors. Okay. Here, I mean, I do it the morning with Josh in the morning, then we have mornings and afternoons. You're going to have full access to our chat room, our trading room, live audio. It's the first training room. I started the first room. Now you're seeing everyone open them up. So you could obviously know where they learned that from. We have weekly gurus that come on with traders talk, which is awesome. We actually get some of the best people in the industry and we kind of do podcasts with them. You're going to get that with that too. Hundreds of hours of workshops. This is all for $9. All of it. All you have to do is click on that link right there. How do we get NASDAQ Book Viewer Barry? What you have to do is this, send me an email. That's my email address. So if you want to get the Book Viewer, I'll send you the link where you get it on the NASDAQ exchange. I'd rather you, I want to send you where to look and how to, we have a couple of videos how to set it up. I don't want you to make that mistakes. Okay.  That's the reason why. So need to fix that first. Now these are all the great things that you're going to get. Now after a week, listen, if you're not happy, I'll give you money back. I don't need your $9. Okay. The $9, all it does for me and my staff is let me know if you're a real person or not. I don't know if you're a heckler. I don't know if you're a competitor. I know who you are.  Now, the question people ask is this, what happens after a week? Listen, we're not going to scam you and try to sucker you into a subscription. We do not do that. Every one of you are going to talk to my staff. Some of you lucky ones are even going to talk to me personally. Okay. And we're going to have a conversation. We're going to do an interview and see if you're, if trading is for you or not. This is all for $9 because if it's not for you, we'll give you $9 back. Okay. I just need to make sure that you're qualified and that you're capable of doing what we're showing you because if you're not, this will be the best $9 you ever spent. All right. Now, we used to charge $100 for this. I said, you know what? It's not worth it. I'm looking for traders I could teach that I could trade with. If you get it and you understand what we're doing, here's your chance all for the $9. A couple of questions coming across here. I created a account on Nasdaq. I did not buy BookViewer yet. Dennis, did you buy the trial first with us? If you bought the trial, then you'll get those recordings for that and then just buy it. You know what's so crazy about that system? It's $15 a month. I had to pay $1,000 30 years ago. They ran, they brought that price, obviously inflation never kicked in, came down to literally, they ran it down to $15 because they felt like, you know what? Let's just give it to everyone in the world. Let's Fausto teach everyone how to use it because I believe they're not. I helped build that platform, you know, how it is today. I was actually one of the beta testers of one of these ECNs being one of the original souls bandits. So I know how the system works, better than anyone, even better than the exchange. Some of the people work there, you know? But to do that right, you're definitely going to need it, buy it, but you got to do the $9 trial first because it's going to end up, you end up probably doing more harm to yourself if you don't let me teach you how to do it. The credible value market, come to join us and see us yourself. Thank you very much, Margaret. I'm glad you shared that with us and, you know, it all starts from there, you know? And listen, regarding about what happens after that, listen, do the orientation, do the interview, pay your $9 fee and then worry about everything else later. Okay? Don't worry about next year, worry about today. All right? Don't worry about next week, worry about today. That's where it comes into it. By the way, AMP, I just want to bring this up to you and show you what happened. What happened to AMP? Everyone? What happened to AMP? Did it go up or go down? Yeah, exactly. It went down. Remember when we sold it? See, we just took a little profit. If we didn't take, we could have had a bigger profit, but if we didn't take whatever we could have taken, now that big profit is now probably a loser. We lost it just like that because we didn't follow the orders. It's time to stop making those mistakes and stop pretending, you know, what you've learned in the past or whatever happened, now it's time to take it to that next level. All right? Now, I have to go, ladies and gentlemen, I want to get back with my traders. Once again, make sure you subscribe to all those channels or all our YouTube channels, all that stuff. Any other questions so far? Any other questions? Yeah, I know a lot of you, Bill, Mike, I see you guys already registered. Everyone's registered. It's great. Listen, my whole thing is this. There are a lot of people educating out there. I know some people said, well, I spent money. I want to make something that I already spent money with this person. I spent a lot of money. I got to make that work.  Okay? Let me tell you how trading works. Right? You ever get into a bad trade and like, I can't take a loss right now? I'm already down money. I got to make it come back. No, sometimes they don't come back. They don't come back. They end up getting worse. And what's that going to happen with your trading? Your trading's going to get worse. So this is my whole thing that I teach everyone. I kind of explain to everybody. It all starts from money management. Okay? You're going to make mistakes and the way you learn in life is making those mistakes. And it all starts at money management. And that's what we focus on. That's the number one thing that helps you get successful in trading. And you know what? It's a bad deal. It's a bad deal. Listen, anyone here married? Okay? I don't know about you, but married for 25 years, I heard divorces are very expensive. And I heard some divorces get really ugly. And some people even say, you should never have gotten married in the first place. That person was not your style, was not your gold digger, whatever it is.  It was a bad trade. And then you found somebody else like, oh, I wish I'd married that person. And you still could. You know, it's the same thing with a stock. You know, it's sometimes a bad trade. Sometimes you bought a car. It's a limit. What are you going to do? I can't sell it now and take a loss. Yeah, you could because you can't keep sinking money into it. Trading is the same thing. Sometimes you got to know when to move on. So my whole thing, I want to leave everybody off with this. You have to learn before you could earn. If you're been doing something with somebody for more than 30 to 90 days, and you do not see that you're being successful at it, it's time to turn the page and move on. If anyone tells you, oh, it takes a year, two years, no, they're just suckering you in. You'll know right away. Look how much you've learned in less than three days of being part of Cybertrain University. You probably learn more than three days and you probably learn in 30 years of trading or however long you've been doing it. I have people say they learn more in this than they have taken $1,000 classes with other people because they're not traders. So listen, take the $9, make the investment.  All right. So I'd like to thank everybody for being here. I look forward to seeing you in the live trading room. You got my personal email address. If you need anything, please reach out. If you're not ready, some of you say, when can I start because I'm going away or somebody said I have surgery done. Well, listen, I hope your surgery works out. Most of our traders between age of 50 and 90. So I know what that feels and what you're going through. Listen, you could start whenever you're ready. You want to start next week, next month, but the trial right here, just tell them, I want to start next week or next month. Just lock it in, get your rate, and worry about then later. Thanks everybody for watching. I look forward to seeing you all in the live trading room. And if you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Happy trading, everyone.


This guy got Supreme Palace. I got all the tattoos. Those are real tats? They're real tats. You can check them out. Look at that. Yo, what's going on, everybody? Andrew Fung from the Fung Bros. I am here in New York City in Lower Manhattan right now. And this is a special episode of Fung Bros. on the street. If you guys do not know, between Soho and the Lower East Side, you will not see more fashion or street wear than anywhere else in the world right now. It is crazy. And I'm here to ask the people of New York about their outfits, the culture, and everything in between.  But more on that later. Right now there are so many people out and I just got to see what New York has to say about street wear. What is the difference between a cloud chaser and a hype beast? Cloud chaser is just people that are just doing things for attention. So it doesn't necessarily have to be like hype beasting. It's like attention seeking. I think a cloud chaser would be like, they see like celebrities wearing it and if they have like the money like they'll do it just because like they can. I'm pretty sure the cloud chasing is just, you know what I'm saying?  Trying to catch that cloud, you know what I'm saying? That they have, you know what I'm saying? Hype beast is just a person who not necessarily likes to get hyped items because they're not hyped for no reason, you know what I'm saying? And I feel like maybe a hype beast is something similar but in the sense like they have all like the new supreme drops like they have everything that comes out just like as they can. What's one street wear trend that you think is hot and what's one trend that you think is wack? I like the bulky sneaker trend. Like I think those are dope. The hot thing? Definitely the fanny pack. I mean all flights are still pretty hot. They're always like, you know, they're always doing something cool. Definitely the new all flights that just came out. I didn't see all guys super hot right now. I always think like the tucking of the sweatpants is kind of cool if it's done right. The trend that I do like now is kind of like the looser silhouettes, you know what I'm saying? People wearing baggier pants, bulkier shoes. I do like the dad shoe trend. I'm going to say color. Like the more color you add to a fit, the more it pops out.  Everybody's going to notice you more. So I'll f*** with that. I'm different. I like vintage wear. I like the 90s style. Like that's the only thing that I feel like will never get played out. Everything else, I did. One thing that's wack is like straight up and down supreme and all of that stuff. When I think that's wack, it's supreme. That I created one of the Yeezy's.  I think it's when you layer all the designer brands on top of each other, that just with big labels. I don't, I'm not a fan of that. And like one of the things that I don't like, I think I'm not a fan of the whole like all high-end everything. Like people wearing all Gucci, all the way down, you know what I'm saying? Like it's just, it's the corny to me because it's like you're not really dressing. You're kind of putting on a uniform, you know? This might be an unpopular belief but I don't like the Balenciagas. I don't know, I just think they're like chunky pieces of rubber that kind of look like sketches when we were like six years old. I like, I accept everything and so that's just my view on it but just like don't hate, just appreciate it. Has anyone ever called you a hype beast? Yeah, yeah it's cool like, I mean I like what I'm wearing so, what's up? I think I know the answer to this question but who is the most hype beast out of this entire group? You just talk to them. I mean like, you wear what you want, like if you like it, you like it. If it's a hype beast thing, whatever. Everyone's been calling me a hype beast for years. I don't really see it. I've been called like sneaker head, hype beast, stuff like that. I mean like, yeah but like where I come from, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to South Jersey, you know what I'm saying? Not a lot of people have a lot around there so when they see me, you know what I'm saying? It's kind of just like, oh hey, hi, what's up? Let's have this conversation. You know what I'm saying? Plus you know what I'm saying? I got a little bean, you know what I'm saying? Stiny, letting them know man, letting them know. No, no one's actually ever called me like, I mean, I think I have like my own sense of style. You know what I mean? Like I think I definitely dress like unique to myself. But yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say it's a bad thing if someone did call me. Well, you don't take it with such a negative connotation. No, no, actually not, no. Tell me about your outfit. What are you wearing and how much did it cost? I got like this Carhartt, Carhartt American. That was like 20 and Victor Watch, that's 1800 Yeezy's. That's 300, you know what I'm saying? Gotta deal with the blue tents, you know what I'm saying? I just got some regular American Eagle jeans that I cut up for the off-white. Oh yeah, it was like 230. It was like 230, like set and done, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to all of us.  I don't buy resale. The only thing I brought resale was the Yeezy's and that was from a friend of my mom's because my mom is a cop, so you know what I'm saying?  So you know, shout out to Bridgeton, you know what I'm saying? Yo, you mind real quick if I just bring up how much those blue tent Yeezy's would go for on StockX. You ever use StockX? Yeah, use StockX. I don't use it. I just window shop. I've like used it once. I got a Gosha t-shirts for 120 and I got Springbeck for 90. I got Balenciaga from straight from Balenciaga for retail. Gucci belt, yeah. Gucci gang? Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang. All right, man, real quick, I want to go down particularly your outfit, how much did each piece cost and where'd you get it from? Retail, so this was like 60 bucks. My friends got these for me from Off StockX. $15 from H&M. I got this for like 10 bucks at like some random store. Okay, cool.   I try to be on the other end like sell to other people and stuff. Could you real quick go down your outfit and tell us where you got it from and how much it cost? So this shirt is CDG. I got it from Barney's. It was 100. The Supreme bag is from StockX.

All right, Supreme shoulder bag black. You got it for 150. One third. It is the last sale was for 160. What else is StockX good for? Seeing like the market price. Every time I go to a store, the first thing I do is compare to StockX. It's usually like a little higher than market. But I mean, it's super easy for sellers. I look at it, but I haven't bought anything yet. I like how they have the whole like market theme going on. Like stock market is really, really powerful. They also use StockX to check it more for Supreme accessories. Just to check how much the products are. Usually won't buy a flight club. Usually first check StockX first. Yeah, I do. I always check StockX prices to make sure I'm not like, you know, getting killed for resell. I use StockX for like knowing the prices of items if I want to pick one up or how much I should sell something for. And definitely guys, as you guys know, StockX obviously for buying Supreme in particular, it is like the best app to do that. Absolutely. It's like all authenticated.  Yo, everybody, thank you so much for watching that video on what New York has to say about streetwear. Yo, it was dope going from Soho to the Lower East Side. And I met a lot of interesting people and I heard a lot about the culture. It was a really fun video to do. And I hope that whether or not you are in the streetwear, you found this video interesting. Big shout out to StockX for helping make this video happen. They are the most trusted and fastest way to buy and sell your gear. And clearly based on the responses, a lot of people use it.

In the comments below, let me know what you guys thought about the responses in the video and what is one hot trend that you see coming up. I'd like to hear your thoughts. All right everybody, thanks for watching that video. I'm Andru from the Fung Bros. And I'm in New York. We out. Peace. And I don't like the baggy clothes. Like those baggy sweats with the dash shoes. Yeah, I don't like. I was wearing that like the two weeks ago, dude. Thank you for hopping off your skateboard for this. That's too much. You got to do it. Oh wait. I thought that was Chad Hugo. He looked just like.


That concludes general questions. The next item of business is First Minister's questions. At question number one, I call Douglas Ross. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Tens of thousands of people work in Scotland's north sea oil and gas sector. It raises billions of pounds to support public services and it's crucial for Scotland's economy. But this week across the Atlantic in the United States, Hamza Ewanza Yousif Finding says that Scotland will no longer be the oil and gas capital of Europe. Why does the SNP turn sour on Scotland's oil and gas? Deputy First Minister, we are committed to just transition for the oil workers in the northeast. I want to pay tribute to the sector and the workforce for the over £400 billion that they have generated for the UK coffers, much of it, of course, squandered. But of course we are committed to a just transition because we know that the unlimited extraction of fossil fuels is not consistent with Scotland's ambitious climate obligations and we have to ensure a planned and fair transition that leaves no one behind. But I think that Douglas Ross is very brave going on this subject today. In a week where his Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has essentially pulled the rug from under the net zero ambitions, not just of the UK, but potentially damaging the net zero ambitions of Scotland. That doesn't just damage the environment, it damages jobs into the process and he should be ashamed to stand side by side with Rishi Sunak on that matter. Douglas Ross. What a predictable response from the Deputy First Minister, because the SNP loved to talk a good game, but keep missing their own climate change targets. The Deputy First Minister wants to pay tribute to oil and gas workers in the North Sea. Let's hear one another please. The Deputy First Minister wants to pay tribute to the oil and gas workers and Humza Yousaf wants to take their job away. What we need is a transition sensibly to create new energy jobs, not by throwing away the current ones. It's not a choice between oil or renewables, we need to support both. That's why Humza Yousaf's proposals are so reckless. A recent report from the Robert Gordon University warned that the rapid decline in the oil and gas sector will cost tens of thousands of jobs. Why is the SNP backing a cliff edge scenario where skilled jobs will be lost for good? It was just a year ago that Douglas Ross was urging us to follow Liz Truss over the cliff edge of her economic catastrophe for our country. That same Douglas Ross now comes to the chamber today, wanting us to follow Rishi Sunak of the same cliff edge of reneging and backsliding on net zero targets. Of course, it's no surprise that one of the first people out of the stocks to support Rishi Sunak was Liz Truss herself. That is the company that Douglas Ross is keeping. Of course we are committed to a just transition for Scotland's energy sector. Of course, we are only just, Mr Target, by 1.2 per cent, which of course shows that we are not far behind. If I may ask you just for a moment, I'm finding it difficult to hear. Members are being somewhat robust in their engagement with responses and I would be grateful if we could hear one another speak. I've never allowed a man to shout me down in my life. I won't make any exception for Douglas Ross. Our targets are world leading. That's why the First Minister is in New York for the UN climate change week, because we are world leading and we have a First Minister whose ambitions are to meet the net zero target, showing leadership, unlike the Prime Minister who is ditching net zero targets. I also want to listen to me on that. All he needs to do is to listen to the condemnation from industry, from business and indeed from Tory MPs themselves. Douglas Ross. Let's just go through a few of those points. The Deputy First Minister saying that the SNP Government's targets are world leading. They're not meeting them. Eight out of the last 12 years, they've failed to meet their own world leading targets. Douglas Ross said that the plans from the Prime Minister were pragmatic and brings the UK in line with other nations, which we welcome. Presiding Officer, this is not just about what's best for our economy, it's also about what's best for our environment. Industry experts have found that new fields at Cambo and Rosebank would save 17 million tonnes of CO2 compared to foreign imports. More production in Scotland is cheaper. Greener and protects jobs. But Hamza Yousif no longer wants Scotland to be Europe's capital on oil and gas, and he's against the UK Government granting new North Sea licences. So can I just ask the Deputy First Minister why wouldn't we use our energy on our doorstep instead of costly foreign imports? Deputy First Minister. Well, of course, we've been very clear about any new licences and the climate targets that they have to meet in terms of the analysis of those. They have to be robust. Of course it's not us that will grant any new licences, but the First Minister and the Cabinet Secretary have been very clear about those climate compatibility tests. Let's get back to the nub of this, because when Douglas Ross talks about our net zero targets, the changes and announcements made by Rishi Sunak make it harder for us to achieve our net zero targets and that is bad for the environment. It's also bad for business. Listen to Lisa Brank in the chair of Ford UK. What she said, our business needs three things from the UK Government. Ambition, commitment and consistency. A relaxation of 2030 would undermine all three. The former Siemens UK CEO Jurgen Mayer. It's just chaos, isn't it? It beggars belief. Everybody is now sitting wobbling and wondering. I can tell you what. They won't be investing in the UK. It's a disaster for productivity. A disaster for jobs, well-paid jobs and it's a disaster for business confidence and investment. We need exactly the opposite. When is Douglas Ross going to grow a backbone and support the net zero targets rather than his Prime Minister? Thank you. Douglas Ross. We can trade different quotes all day. I can quote Toyota, who said today's Government announcement is welcome as it provides the clarity industry has been asking and recognising that all low emission and affordable technologies can have a role to play in a pragmatic vehicle transition. Of course we had... Mr Ross, if you could just give me a moment. Mr Robertson, could I ask you please to remain silent when we're trying to hear Mr Ross's response? Douglas Ross. Angus Robertson's shouting didn't put me off when I beat him in 2017 and it doesn't put me off now. I also have to say it was quite something for Shona Robison to blame yesterday's announcement by the Prime Minister for the SNP failing to meet their targets in eight years out of the last 12. Now let's go back to where it all began. The SNP slogan used to be it's Scotland's oil. Now it's just stop oil. Humza Yousaf flew to New York to the finance capital of the world to tell people don't invest in our oil and gas sector. The First Minister of Scotland is talking Scotland down. It's a slap in the face to north-east workers. It's naive because we still rely on oil and gas and it would be a hammer blow to Scotland's economy. So why is the SNP giving up on Scotland's crucial oil and gas sector? Deputy First Minister. No one's giving up on Scotland's oil but it has been squandered by successive UK Government of all political colours. As I said at the beginning of my answer, we absolutely respect and appreciate the efforts made by the oil and gas sector and their workforce and we support a just transition that we have put serious money into making happen unlike the UK Tory Government. But listen to what the oil and gas industry are saying. Emma Pinchbecker, the CEO of Energy UK, sudden changes to policies and targets like this are damaging to the very investment we need to fund the move towards net zero and jeopardise the economic benefits and opportunities that this transformation could bring in terms of jobs, growth and greater prosperity to all parts of the country. Business needs certainty and stability when making long-term investments worth billions of pounds. The announcements by Rishi Sunak undermine all of that, not just for the UK but for Scotland and Douglas Ross standing shoulder to shoulder with Rishi Sunak will not be forgiven by the people of Scotland. People across our country are paying the price for SNP incompetence and failure at a time when they can't afford it. In every area that this Government controls we need to see mismanagement leading to billions of pounds of waste. In February 2015, the then health secretary Shona Robison promised to end-delay discharge by the end of the year. So can she tell the chamber, since she made that promise, how many people have died while waiting to leave hospital? How many bed days have been lost and how much has it cost the taxpayer? Deputy First Minister. First of all, can I say that we absolutely remain committed to eradicating delayed discharge? When I said that, when I was health secretary, we absolutely were determined then as we are now. Anasarba will understand that it is very challenging to do. Back then, of course, we were on the eve of the new integrated joint boards being established, which have, I think it's fair to say, been a mixed bag in terms of the delivery of delayed discharge progress, which is why, of course, we want to move forward with the national care service, something that Labour used to support, but as soon as the SNP tried to take it forward, they then opposed. So we'll get on with the job of tackling delayed discharge while Labour just sniped from the sidelines, as always. Anasarba. The Deputy First Minister is in denial. Nearly four and a half million bed days lost. Over 2,300 people died while waiting to leave hospital and £1.1 billion wasted. Shona Robison promised to end this eight years ago, long before Covid, and now people are being asked to pay for that failure during a cost-of-living crisis. One in four households facing a council tax rise of up to 22 per cent, an increase of £740 a year, an income tax rise for people earning as little as £28,000, and now proposing a £15 a day charge to drive to work. Why are working people who have already been hit by the Tory mortgage bombshell being asked to pay the bill for your incompetence and failure? Deputy First Minister. On the issue of the NHS, we absolutely remain committed to eradicating and delayed discharge, and we will work with our partners to do that. I know that Tessana Sarwar just moved on to talking about local government, finance and taxes. First of all, about the council tax multiplier consultation. It is a consultation based on looking at how we can make the council tax fairer but also that joint group with COSLA is looking at how we could replace the council tax going forward. Here is one question that consultation asks. Why is it that someone in a band H property pays so much less as a proportion of the property value than someone in a band A property? Someone in a higher band property? I do not think that that is fair. Why does Tessana Sarwar think that that is fair? We will get on with the consultation but it is not credible it is not credible for Tessana Sarwar to come here and say no to progressive taxation when it comes to income tax no to any changes in terms of local taxation but demands money be spent on public services that is not a credible position for Tessana Sarwar to take. Tessana Sarwar You've been in government for 16 years and that's the best answer you can give. The Deputy First Minister just doesn't get it. So let me give her an example. A family in Cambyslang the mum's a nurse dad's a teacher they've got two young kids their energy bills skyrocketed and they're still paying 50% more that's £2,000 their food bills are up almost 20% they've been hit with a mortgage increase of over £2,000 a year and now the SNP want to make that worse by asking both mum and dad to pay more income tax and £15 a day to get to the work in Glasgow this family is being let down by both Tory and SNP incompetence both making life harder for working people so why can't the Deputy First Minister see that the people of Scotland are being asked to pay the price for SNP failure Deputy First Minister We do know as Tessana Sarwar is now getting his orders from Keir Starmer and that is to not promise anything in terms of progressive taxation and to turn his back on raising additional funds because what Tessana Sarwar should remember is that if we had followed what she seems to be suggesting the Tory tax policies we would have a billion pounds less for public services back what Tessana Sarwar seems to be saying let me repeat there is a consultation on council tax no decisions have been made in terms of council tax increases and she should not be saying of rather Glen or anywhere else that is the case because that is to mislead but let me say to the nurse and the teacher that Tessana Sarwar commented on we have of course made sure that nurses are better paid than elsewhere in these islands by making sure that we pay through a Jennifer Chain and teachers of course are better paid in Scotland than anywhere else in these islands because we settled with the teachers in terms of their pay claim so we will get on with paying public workers what they deserve to be paid and supporting household incomes and as Sarwar will sign for the Tories against progressive taxation what a place for Labour to end up question number three Alex Cole-Hamilton thank you very much to ask the Deputy First Minister when the cabinet will next meet next Tuesday Alex Cole-Hamilton the list of NHS buildings being searched for the dangerous concrete known as RAC includes surgical wards a radiotherapy ward it includes maternity wards and major hospitals like Ninewells in the Deputy First Minister's home city there the area of concern extends to nine and a half thousand square metres that's more than the size of a football pitch assumptions about what is low risk based on looking at blueprints that are now being questioned because the school beam thought to be low risk was then found to be unsound so can the Deputy First Minister vouch for the safety of everyone going for surgery every cancer patient and every newborn currently receiving care in a ward where this concrete is suspected to be present Deputy First Minister let me say to Alex Cole-Hamilton both the buildings and the NHS looking at applying the guidance from the institute of structural engineers making sure that there is a risk rating for any buildings that need that repair but no building and no patients and no staff will be left in any dangerous building anywhere and we shouldn't suggest that because that worries people Alex Cole-Hamilton I understand was spoken to by the health secretary about this very matter just yesterday but if he still has queries I'm sure the health secretary will be prepared to speak to him again and I know that the cabinet secretary for social justice and education have also invited him to a meeting to discuss any further concerns but it is important that we give the assurance to the public that all of these matters are absolutely in hand and that the guidance from the institute of structural engineers is being followed and hopefully that's something that Alex Cole-Hamilton can join us in giving that reassuring message on. To ask the Deputy First Minister what assessment the Scottish Government has made of the potential impact of the roll-out of the carers support payment on the national mission to tackle poverty and reduce inequality. We know that unpaid carers face a higher risk of poverty and that the majority of unpaid carers are women. Carers support payment will be available in the local authority areas of Dundee, Perth and Kinross and Western Isles from November this year and will be extended to more areas from spring 2024 to be available nationally by autumn 2024. The carers support payment will extend eligibility to more carers studying full-time it will remove barriers to education provide more stable support take up and help carers access wider benefits and services and once case transfer from carers allowance completes it will also provide extra payments to carers with multiple caring roles and an additional four weeks of support when a caring role ends due to bereavement. I thank the Deputy First Minister for that response. I am particularly pleased to note the expanded eligibility of carers support payment compared to the DWP's carers allowance. Can the Deputy First Minister outline how many additional carers compared to the rest of the UK are set to benefit from Social Security Scotland's 14th devolved payment? Despite our fixed budgets and limited powers we have transformed social security provision in Scotland delivering a radically different system based on dignity, fairness and respect. From launch our carers support payment will expand access to many carers widening access to 1500 more carers once the benefit is available nationally. Carers support payment will also continue to benefit from our carers allowance supplement which has provided extra support to carers in Scotland since 2018 and will again call on the UK Government to match our actions to address the fact that carers allowance is of course the lowest of all working-age benefits. I note the Deputy First Minister's reply and the subsequent Westminster bad response but if I could draw the focus back to Scotland and to reducing inequalities the 2023 programme for government where there was a promise to develop a payment for eligible 16 to 25 year olds with care experience to provide transition security for independent living Deputy First Minister were a year on when will the promise be fulfilled? Deputy First Minister It's not about Westminster bad it was just a fact that the carers allowance is the lowest of all working-age benefits that's just a fact. I say to her on her question about the roll-out of the benefit for young carers I will ensure that the minister writes to her with an update in terms of the progress and timetable for that. 5. Brian Whittle To ask the Deputy First Minister what the Scottish Government's response is to reported comments from COSLA and council leaders questioning the achievability of net zero targets without a detailed plan and adequate funding. I would be grateful if we could do members the courtesy of hearing their questions. Deputy First Minister I'm sure that Brian Whittle must be regretting that question. A Tory MSP raising net zero less than 24 hours after Tory Prime Minister hollowed out their plans is a matter for pity perhaps. We'll continue to work in partnership with local authorities and COSLA to develop a framework between national and local government to agree shared approaches to delivering net zero. We're doing this at a time when the UK Government appears determined to undermine the means to deliver the change. The Prime Minister's decision to renaig on the UK's key net zero commitments yesterday was an unforgivable betrayal of current and future generations. The Conservatives are trading the future of our planet for a cheap electoral ploy. I'd like to say to Brian Whittle if he or his colleagues in the Scottish Tories have any influence with the UK Government unlikely then please urge him to rethink because you're on the wrong side of history. Brian Whittle Is the First Minister grandstands in New York accusing the rest of the world of catastrophic negligence and climate change. His SNP councillors have joined COSLA, the Committee on Climate Change and countless other organisations to criticise his Government's net zero plans. The SNP Green Government loved being praised for their bold, ambitious climate policies but those same policies keep disintegrating on contact with reality. A just transition requires more than ever grander promises with no thought on how they work in the real world. Will the Deputy First Minister now commit to setting out a detailed, pragmatic and achievable roadmap to Scottish Government net zero or will she continue the First Minister's approach of bashing others to disguise his Government's failures? Deputy First Minister Of course it's the Prime Minister's announcements that are disintegrating in the face of blistering criticism. Not just from industry, not just from business but from some of his own members. I wonder how Maurice Golden is feeling at this point and others on the Tory backbenches. The First Minister will continue as the Scottish Government will to show leadership on net zero. We are regarded throughout the world as having some of the most ambitious targets and ambitious policies. We will get on with the job and will leave Rishi Sunak, Douglas Ross and the Tories to try and explain to future generations why they had no backbone when it comes to the environment. Staying on the theme of Rishi Sunak's plan to ditch the UK Government's key net zero targets I asked the Deputy First Minister what initial assessment can the Scottish Government provide on the impact that this will have on the commitment and consistency that industry requires from the Government to ensure a just energy transition? I'm aware that the Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero will be answering an urgent question on this later today. The Prime Minister's reckless plans have already of course been branded concerning by the Climate Change Committee who judged quotes likely to take further away from being able to meet its legal commitments. Business and consumer groups alike have referred to the plans as hugely damaging and a colossal error and Al Gore has called them shocking and hugely disappointing. There are many others I could quote. I know that the Tories don't like the facts to be presented to them but the key point here and the most serious concerning point is that these announcements will have impact and implication not just for the UK's but for Scotland's climate ambitions as well and that is unforgivable. Mark Ruskell. The Prime Minister's climb down on climate showed that he's a politician who is only interested in the next election rather than the next generation. So can I ask what impact his announcement will have on Scotland's plans to reach net zero by 2045? Deputy First Minister. Of course he is absolutely right and we will of course assess that the cabinet secretary for net zero will answer that urgent question but we will of course have to get into the detail of assessing what that impact is and of course he's absolutely right the member's right to point to what this is all about this is all about the general election and the Tories trying to appeal to their core vote which is essentially culture wars anti migrants and now anti environment what an unappealing negative backward looking small minded prospectus that is and it will be roundly rejected by the Scottish people once again. To ask the Deputy First Minister whether the Scottish Government will consider writing off school meal debts in light of reports of local authorities and sheriff officers to pursue families for unpaid school meal debt. Deputy First Minister. We recognise that the cost of living crisis is of course putting a huge strain on families and many are facing real challenges and we are committed to expansion of free school meals saving families £400 per year for every eligible child and where any families experiencing difficulties due to the cost of paying for school meals in the first instance we expect local authorities to use the powers available to them and to provide necessary support and while school meal debt is a matter for councils the Scottish Government will do everything we can to support families and will consider all options available to us to ensure that families don't find themselves punished for struggling during a cost of living crisis. Organisations like Aberlawer Children's Charity speak of a cycle of problem debt owed to public bodies trapping families in poverty not only are families experiencing the stress but we have now learned that councils like Renfrewshire in my region are sending debt collectors to families doors exacerbating unimaginable pressure when they are just trying to get by in a cost of living crisis. Despite what the Deputy First Minister says about causal guidance and managing school debt families are now in a postcode lottery with some councils writing it off and others resorting to debt collectors. 50 anti-poverty organisations and trade unions wrote to the Deputy First Minister's predecessor calling for action in the last budget to outline plans to write off school debt in our call for an emergency cost of living act in the summer of 2022. The former First Minister said that she was sympathetic and asked the officials to look at the issue. Sympathy, warm words, another year of inaction from the Government all the while, the debt collectors are banging on the door so if reducing poverty is a defining mission of families with the Government where will it take urgent action and provide resource to allow all councils to write off these debts and stop the share of officers. First Minister. First of all to fund an emergency cost of living act you would need to have progressive taxation whether at a national level or local level and of course Labour have now ruled that out so there is no more funds to pay for any emergency cost of living act on the house and also on this point there is a lack of consistency from Labour because also the two child cap and rape clause don't help vulnerable families either so we need to see some consistency from Labour on the point about debt it is an important point and I would encourage councils to have consistency in applying the guidance to whether it is school meal debt or any other debt and they should do that in a way that preserves the dignity of families and we will continue to work with COSLA on that important matter. Liam Kerr. Very grateful. The Scottish Government's failure to fully implement its free school meals promise is relevant here and the education committee heard just yesterday from SIPFA that government funding for the free school meals that are in place is insufficient. So Deputy First Minister why is this government failing to properly fund its own scheme? Deputy First Minister. Scotland has the most generous free school meal provision in the UK and we are going even further. Liam Kerr or any other Tory member cannot pitch up here demanding more money for free school meals or anything else when through their tax cuts that they wanted us to follow there would be a billion pounds less money a billion pounds less money to spend on public services whether it's free school meal provision or anything else so don't turn up here asking for more money when you want to take a billion pounds out of the money we already have. We'll now move to general and constituency supplementaries and I call Rona Mackay. Cancer Research UK announced a £123 million investment in the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute formerly known as Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute based at University of Glasgow's Garskud campus in my constituency. The Beatson name is synonymous with cancer research in west of Scotland and the amazing work of the Beatson Institute has been life changing for many. What does the Deputy First Minister say about the significance of this investment particularly for the west of Scotland and the strengths in cancer research and life science that we have in constituencies like mine? Deputy First Minister I say to Rona Mackay that I really welcome Cancer Research UK's announcement of this significant investment. Research is vital if new approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer are to continue to be developed and this funding will ensure that the institute continues this research in the west of Scotland. The institute is recognised internationally for its quality, innovation and impact and the Cabinet Secretary for Health met with the chief executive officer of Cancer Research UK yesterday to discuss the work of the institute and recognise Cancer Research's very welcome investment. Jamie Greene This week we learned the disappointing news of more Bank of Scotland branch closures including one in Millport on Cumbria and Brodic on Arran. Those are the last remaining bank branches on those island communities. Whilst this is disappointing news for elderly residents on islands and many businesses who operate in cash I wonder if it has escaped the Lloyds Banking Group a group that received a £20 billion taxpayer funded bailout many years ago of the devastating effect this will have for our island communities. Will Scottish Government ministers join me in lobbying this banking group to reverse these devastating cuts to branches? Deputy First Minister I agree with Jamie Greene I think that these services are important particularly for those who do not have online banking facilities and many older people are in that position. The sentiment I agree with is a UK Government responsibility but in terms of his call for us to have cross-party representation I am very happy to ask Neil Gray to speak to Jamie Greene to see how that can be arranged. Given the level of skills shortages across the Scottish economy is the Deputy First Minister concerned that colleges are cutting courses and making staff redundant in order to balance their budgets? Skills in the future of skills is absolutely critical which of course is why the weather's review is so critical because it is so critical that we have to do the weather's review is so critical going forward and the college sector will be absolutely critical in that. There has been challenges to public finances across all public bodies no one is denying that due to UK Government austerity and we have to therefore make sure that whether it is the college sector or any other sector is delivering within the budgets that can be allocated but in terms of skills we absolutely recognise the importance of skills for the economy going forward and that is why we are keen to see that review and forward looking review from whether it is taken forward in a way that sees the colleges at the heart of that. The Deputy First Minister will recognise that this week is national iHealth week as the convener of the cross-party group has led the way with a longstanding policy of free eye tests with the Deputy First Minister support calls to encourage more Scots to utilise the free eye test as it can have multiple health benefits to the individual. I certainly agree with Stuart McMillan that national iHealth week is a timely opportunity to highlight the importance of having a free regular NHS iExamination and contacting an optometrist as the first port of call for any eye problem We know that it can provide a full health check of the eyes as well as a sight test and this can help to detect early signs of sight threatening conditions as well as other serious health conditions and I'm proud that Scotland remains the only part of these islands to provide free universal NHS eye examinations and the Scottish Government is committed to maintaining this. Mordor Fraser Last week the Scottish Government rejected calls from across this chamber or from industry to pause the licensing scheme for short term lets because of the emerging unintended consequences. Yesterday we saw yet more confusion about this policy with the Times Newspaper reporting that home link who arranged house swaps had been told by ministers that swaps would now be excluded from the rules. We also learned that the Deputy First Minister herself wrote to councils in March saying that guidance would be produced for temporary exemptions for house swaps but there's no record of such guidance ever being published. Meanwhile the housing minister who replied to the debate last week seemed to be unaware of any of this. Can I get some clarity please? Are house swaps to be excluded from the licensing scheme? Yes or no? Doesn't this demonstrate once again this is a shambolic policy from a Government where the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing? I'll certainly get Shirley-Anne Somerville as the social justice secretary to write to the member because it is important that there's clarity on this matter. Murdo Fraser is right to raise that and I'll make sure that that is made not just available to Murdo Fraser but to other members across the chamber. In terms of the policy per se what is important that Murdo Fraser and others do is to encourage those who are running short-term lets to now get their licence in order by 1 October because that will be critical in making sure that what this is all about at the end of the day is that whoever is using a short-term let in whatever sector can be guaranteed of the same safety measures applying to where they are staying. That is at the heart of what this is about but on that specific point I'll make sure the cabinet secretary writes to the member and puts that across to other MSPs as well. Rhoda Grant The Deputy First Minister will be aware that Highland Council has cancelled 10 new school buildings and this also means that desperately needed affordable housing will be lost. It's due to delays with her Government's investment programme. Can I ask the Deputy First Minister will she now make decisions about this fund so that local authorities can build schools and will she apologise to pupils, parents, teachers and communities that have been so badly affected? First of all of course the LEAP project has been enormously important in terms of the phases 1 and 2 and 37 projects including 3 in the Highlands through those first two phases. In terms of the third phase the Cabinet Secretary for Education will be updating Parliament in due course but of course one of the issues we've had to look at is the position of rat schools in relation to that phase 3 and to make sure that they receive the priority that they require. What I would just finally say to the member is this that despite our cut to capital budgets going forward that will be a cut of nearly 6.7 per cent. That makes it very difficult whether it's building schools, hospitals or anything else. I would hope that the member would join with us in making sure that we say to the UK Government that we absolutely need that investment in capital in the same way as the Welsh Labour Government have said. I just met with the Treasury and we are saying exactly the same. It's just a pity that Labour members in this place are not aligning with their Welsh Labour colleagues. Kenneth Gibson. Thank you, Presiding Officer. One year after Liz Truss' disastrous Tory UK mini-budget can the Deputy First Minister outline the impact of this chaotic event on the Scotland's economy? Deputy First Minister. The disastrous mini-budget enthusiastically backed by the Scottish Tories of course, Douglas Ross in particular sent shockwaves through the economy causing market interest rates to jump sterling to fall and literally crashed the pension market in the UK. Alongside that, the proposed tax cuts on the market reaction reduced any lingering credibility that the UK had in terms of economic management, which was already severely damaged by Brexit. That of course has now been followed by the equivalent to that by Rishi Sunak on net zero. Of course, Liz Truss being the biggest cheerleader for the backsliding and reneging on those net zero targets. If there was an argument for independence what has happened with net zero this week, surely there can be no better argument that control over net zero and the economy should rest here in this Parliament. Alexander Stewart. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Deputy First Minister, this week Clackmannasher council admitted that a house or fire was not fitted with the legally required interlinked heat and smoke alarms despite legislation requiring this from February 2022. This may not be an isolated incident and it may be putting vulnerable tenants and elderly at risk. Therefore, Deputy First Minister, what urgent action can the Scottish Government put in place to ensure that councils are fulfilling their legal responsibilities and protecting tenants and lives? Can I say to Alexander Stewart that I'm concerned to hear about that and of course councils absolutely should be making sure that they apply the legislation in the same way as anyone else. If Alexander Stewart wants to write to me with those details, that's certainly something that we can raise with the council because it's very important that tenants feel safe in their homes. Mercedes Villalbaugh. I refer members to my register of interest as a trade union member. This week, members of UCU, Unison and Unite the Union are on strike at the University of Dundee because their employer has repeatedly failed to make a fair pay offer. Year on year, real terms pay cuts are harming university workers, student learning and our education system. Deputy First Minister, will you join me in urging university principals in our city of Dundee and across the country to meet the demands of campus unions? Of course this is a matter for Dundee University or any other universities in terms of them being independent institutions and the way that they conduct industrial relations. However we would expect them to follow the fair work principles in terms of good engagement with the unions and we would expect them to follow those in the same way as other institutions should. We would urge them to continue to get round the table with the union partners to try to find a resolution. I would just say to Mercedes Wealba that what we are seeing from Keir Starmer is a complete retreat from workers rights. A U turn on every commitment in terms of workers rights so perhaps she should have a word with Keir Starmer or a suspect, she probably doesn't agree with him anyway but in terms of the devolution of employment law I hope she will sign the motion that is up for debate next week because I understand Anna Sarwar has sent a memo round saying Labour should not sign it. Hopefully Mercedes Wealba will sign it because there are notions of independent minds. I call Jeremy Balfour Thank you Deputy First Minister a constituent on mind who was a single mother with a short term let property had been in touch with me this week. She will shortly be obliged to display her license notice to the front window of a property to be compliant with the short term let regulations that includes her name and address. She is concerned about her wellbeing and privacy of her daughter and herself due to her domestic relationship. Can the Deputy First Minister confirm whether it is her intention for short term let regulations to make responsible owners afraid and scared and possibly having to withdraw the property and will she look at again whether privacy is appropriate in Scotland today? Deputy First Minister No and if Jeremy Balfour wants to furnish us with the case we will look at it in terms of what the guidance has been issued from Edinburgh City Council no one should be afraid and scared what we are asking here is for short term let owners to get a license on basic safety measures that's all not to put themselves in a position of being afraid or scared this is about basic safety standards but if Jeremy Balfour wants to furnish us with the details if there's an issue in terms of the guidance that's been issued by Edinburgh we will look at that but that's all I can offer at this stage Clare Adamson The Conservatives delivered a ruinous Brexit and this week Clare Stammer says he will tweak that ruinous Brexit while ruling out a return to the European single market he stated his priorities were economic growth and the opportunities and the outcomes for young people that were lost through Brexit does the Deputy First Minister agree with me that the only way that the European Union back is for Scotland to be there as an independent nation and a back to the family of nations of Europe Deputy First Minister Clare Adamson is exactly right and it appears to me that Labour don't like to hear the word Brexit even more than the Tories don't like to hear the word Brexit I wonder why that is but Brexit is an on-going disaster for Scotland and the Labour Party and wants to keep Scotland out of the hugely important European single market and out of the European customs union and of course it backs the end of freedom of movement which was so important for the Scottish economy and the real question here for Labour though is when the onslaught of workers' rights begins are they going to look trade unions in the eye or workers in the eye and say that's okay we support that we don't care about workers' rights Thank you and that concludes First Minister's questions The next item of business is a member's business debate in the name of Jackie Dunbar and there will now be a short suspension to allow members to leave the chamber and the public to leave the gallery


Hello and welcome. In the last lecture, we had started the discussion on the gravity turn trajectory and in that context, we had looked at one specific case of constant pitch rate based gravity turn trajectory solutions and we found that these were quite easily obtained as well as useful. In this lecture, we will look at the next concept of gravity turn trajectory where we achieve a constant velocity along the trajectory and still achieve a reasonable amount of turning of the trajectory through appropriate modulation of the thrust and the mass. So, let us begin. So, let us look at the various aspects of a constant velocity solution which will give us a reasonable amount of trajectory curvature and will also provide useful information. So, let us first understand why we would need such a scenario. While we see that gravity turn is a mechanism by which we can achieve the trajectory curvature and inclination right after the lift off, there is a phase of the trajectory called the terminal phase where the vehicle is out of the atmosphere and also has achieved a very high velocity, but it is possible that it may not have the desired inclination for injection. So, in such a case, it is generally possible to employ a constant velocity gravity turn trajectory which helps us to achieve the desired inclination while maintaining the velocity at the desired level. Of course, as we will see, these solutions are simpler to obtain as well as implement. Let us now look at the basic formulation and the applicable equations for the constant V case. So, let us go back to our gravity turn equations and put the constraint that B equal to B naught a constant. We immediately see that our theta dot equilibrium now has B naught which is a constant value in the denominator and we can now convert this directly into an equation between theta and t as 1 by sin theta d theta equal to g theta by V naught into dt. We will see that integration of this equation will directly give theta as an explicit solution for time. So, this is one benefit that we get for constant velocity constraint. Further, when we look at the velocity equation, the V dot becomes 0 because it is a constant and we now have the equation that minus m dot g naught i sp by m minus g tilde cos theta equal to 0. This equation now we can rewrite as an equation in terms of mass and theta. So, now you will find that we can obtain mass as an explicit function of theta through this differential equation as minus d m by m equal to V naught cot theta by g naught i sp t theta. So, you realize that the original two equations under the constraint that V is V naught are modified into the two equations one an explicit equation for theta in terms of time and the other equation for mass explicitly in terms of theta. We realize that in this context for the mass solution theta becomes the primary parameter and that is an important benefit particularly in the context where we have a requirement on inclination to be achieved at a given velocity. By using the value of those inclinations, we can directly estimate the amount of mass or the propellant that will be required for that particular inclination to be achieved and that is a great design benefit. Now, of course, we can solve these two differential equations. So, first let us solve theta as a function of t. So, it is a straight forward trigonometric integral equation and we can show that the time will be V naught by g theta ln of tan theta by 2 plus of course, a set of integration to be determined from initial condition which can be transformed into the delta t solution as given below. Now, this solution of course as we see is bidirectional. So, it can be worked in two ways. If you provide an inclination that is desired, this particular equation will tell you how long it will take at that velocity to complete the maneuver or the relation can be reversed and can be said that at that velocity if the maneuver is to be achieved in a certain time, what is the angle that can be obtained and if the final angle is specified, the same relation can also be used to determine the starting theta naught from which this maneuver should be carried out. And you will realize that this becomes an extremely useful design information. Of course, we also see that a higher delta t would generally provide a higher theta. But again, that will depend upon V naught. So, if you have a larger V naught, then we can appropriately modify this relation. Next, let us now look at the solution of mass as a function of theta. So, we go back to the integral equation dm by m equal to minus V naught by g naught isp cos theta by sin theta d theta, which is another simple trigonometric integral which can be obtained by substitution of sin theta as x and cos theta d theta is dx and because of which we can directly solve for this as ln m equal to minus V naught by g naught isp ln sin theta plus the constant of integration. We can do a little bit of algebraic manipulation on this expression and we can show that mass as a function of theta is the constant of integration k into sin theta to the power minus V naught by g naught isp. When we substitute the initial condition that at t equal to 0 theta equal to theta naught, we can obtain k as this expression so that we cannot talk about the mass fraction m by m naught as sin theta by sin theta naught to the power minus V naught by g naught isp. Now, we clearly see that for a given V naught and isp, which means a given velocity and a given propellant, if you want a higher correction in theta, you will need to have a higher propellant because you will get a smaller m by m naught indicating that there is a larger propellant mass that will be necessary to achieve that theta. Let us now look at the trajectory solutions in terms of the h and x profiles. So, we go back to the kinematic equations that we have derived earlier that is the h by dt as V naught cos theta. Again, it is an extremely simple trigonometric integral. So, we get a solution for h as V naught square by g theta ln sin theta plus constant of integration. And the dx by dt which is V naught sin theta is directly a function of V naught square by g into delta theta. So, you realize that the expressions for h and x are quite simple. And of course, for higher delta theta, you will travel a longer distance delta x and same thing will happen for a higher velocity. Let us now examine the implication of these relations for the problem that we have been considering. So, let us consider a rocket with following specifications. So, we have a lift off mass of 80 tons with the propellant mass of 60 tons of got ISP 240 seconds, theta naught is 2 degrees and our V naught is 300 meters per second. At the requirement is that we should become parallel to local horizon assuming flat earth approximation. So, theta B is 90 degree. Let us try and look at the solutions in terms of your mass profile, altitude profile and the horizontal distance profile. So, the time taken for this trajectory the first solution because we have given both theta naught and theta B at this V naught it would take about 123.8 seconds to complete the mission.  And it can be shown that the burnout mass in this case will be 52.17 tons. And if we start with 80 tons then effectively about 28 tons of propellant is going to be consumed during this. So, you will consume about 28 tons of propellant in the time interval of about 123 seconds to achieve an inclination from 2 degree to 90 degree at a constant velocity of 300 meters per second. So, which means that you can actually achieve a significantly larger inclination by just burning a reasonably smaller amount of propellant as long as your velocity is constant. Here it is worth noting that this particular feature is due to the fact that you are not really using your propellant to accelerate the vehicle, but only to turn the vehicle. And this is directly responsible for the normal acceleration component which is coming because of gravity. So, you would realize that we can achieve large angular changes by burning a smaller amount of propellant. And the results also justify our original hypothesis that constant velocity solutions manage the propellant better from a practical perspective. Of course, because the trajectory is for a long duration of about 124 seconds, the altitude during this will be of the order of around 31 kilometers and it will travel about 14 kilometers on the surface of the earth. As the distance traveled over the surface of earth is not very large during this period, a flatter approximation with which we have started becomes reasonably applicable. So, the results obtained in this case are fairly accurate and can be used for initial design and sizing exercise for such a mission. So, to summarize, we know that a constant velocity solution is much simpler to obtain and obviously, as the expressions are simpler, their implementation also would become lot easier. And there is an important aspect which comes out very clearly is that there is now an explicit control over the propellant mass for a desired velocity and inclination which means if we specify a velocity and an inclination, then it directly tells you how much of propellant you are going to need to complete the mission, where a time would then come out as a natural consequence of the solution. Hi, so we have seen that a constant velocity solution for gravity turn is an extremely useful solution for minor trajectory corrections in the context of errors in inclination when the vehicle has reached its desired terminal velocity. And the solution also indicates that the propellant that we are going to consume is kept to a minimum because we are not accelerating the vehicle. With this, we will now look at in the next lecture the last of the simplified gravity turn solution trajectory which will be driven by a constant specific thrust or what is called constant forward acceleration which also has its own practical value. So, bye, see you in the next lecture and thank you.
