So we know we have a conservation law for momentum. In any circumstances if we have a closed system where all the bodies are interacting are included then the total momentum is going to stay the same. So what? How do we use that? Well it turns out there are certain situations where conservation laws are really useful because they're so robust.  Nothing up my sleeves. All right. Now something complicated is happening. You don't know what it is? You probably never will. In fact, I don't even remember and then I bring these back and the question is what's in my hands? If I show you in this hand, I have precisely one black pen and nothing else. What's in that hand? If you answered the other pen you'd be right and what you used there was a principle called conservation of pens and it was really useful because you knew that there were two pens. I wasn't going to destroy them or create them. So it doesn't matter what complicated thing happened behind my back. You knew exactly that they're going to be two and you could use that fact and in the same way because we have conservation of energy, we now have conservation of momentum, conservation of mass, conservation of charge, any or all of these principles can be used to turn a complicated situation into a simple situation. If the answer doesn't depend on those complications, you can often work out just what you need to from the conservation law itself. So one of the easiest ways to use conservation laws to calculate something is look at the before and after of some complicated situation. Okay, so there's some train tracks and a red car unfortunately is stalled on the train tracks and although a train is coming but fortunately we're coming up behind with our car and we bravely decide to ram their car off the tracks and we're probably going to jam together and we're hoping that we're going to go fast enough to get off the train tracks in time. And so the real question is if I take my car with a certain mass and I slam it into their car, how fast are we going to be going after we hit? So it's going to depend on the masses of the cars. So I'm going to have the mass of my car in one and the mass of their car in two and one thing I could try and do is I could look at all the forces involved. The forces being the force of the front of my car pushing against the back of their car and the Newton's third law force of their car pushing on mine and so I'll be accelerating their car or different bits of it different amounts actually as it crumples and but in general I'll be accelerating their car and they'll be accelerating my car backwards and so we'll end up going at the same speed as we mush together. That's a complicated process and what we could use instead is the idea that if this process is really fast and quite violent then the effect of the friction with the ground is going to be negligible in which case all we need to do is look before the collision and after the collision. In that case the two cars will have a joint velocity and they'll also rather less fortunately have a joint mass which is just going to be M1 plus M2. Now the reason we don't have to track all those forces is that we know that in the absence of external forces or when the external frictional forces can be neglected we know that the momentum is going to be conserved. So the total momentum before the collision is going to be equal to the total momentum after the collision. So before the collision we have one object and another object so we need two momenta to add together and afterwards we have just one thing so we just got one momentum for that. Now non-relativistically the momentum of an object is just its mass times its velocity and the velocity of the second car is initially zero so that's easy and that's very easy to rearrange to find out what the final velocity is. We just simply divide both sides by M1 plus M2 and we're just quickly going to check that the units are correct. So we've got a velocity on one side and here we've got a mass divided by a mass. So a mass plus a mass is a mass. To the top side we've got a mass to the bottom we've got a mass so it's mass divided by mass which gives us no units and then we're multiplying that by a velocity so it's velocity equals velocity so the units are good. Great. Let's check that the limits are good. Okay, so the limit that we are going at zero speed to begin with we're going to be going at zero speed afterwards. That makes sense and the limit that this car is very very heavy. This bottom line is going to be really really big so this final thing is going to be going slower and slower. So if we're trying to knock a truck off the train line we're going to have a lot more trouble than if we're going to try and knock a much smaller car. So that all makes sense.


Political outsider and candidate for the U.S. Senate Bob Anderson has been traveling across greater Minnesota campaigning and he made a stop in Bemidji. Anderson, who was a dental technician from Hastings, ran for Congress in 2008 as an independent. But now he says he came to the Republican Party because of President Trump. He's vying for the seat that was vacated by Al Franken and is out stomping for votes ahead of the primary. His Republican opponent, Karen Housley is seeking the same seat. He says that his unwavering support of the president gives him an advantage. I'm an outsider and she's been in the Senate. I'm not happy with what our legislature has been doing and either are the other people around Minnesota. We differ on the president. I don't waffle. I came to the party because of the president.  You can't do that. People are looking for real transparent candidates. They see that in me and I challenge you all the time. Let's have a debate. What do you got to worry about? I'm a dental technician. No, I know what's going on because I work next to my constituents. Anderson says if he does not win the primary that he would endorse the Republican candidate who does for U.S. Senate.

You have to move this truck out of here Do you speak English? You don't speak it brutal what they did to him We've got to find the people who did this The problem is the DIA and the CIA they have very little on this Abu Bakr group. I Was hoping that the embassy might be able to give some new information Unfortunately, not the locals don't seem to know very much President Koshrat's been very vocal in condemning the killing but hasn't said much since they've assured me they'll do everything They can to catch these madmen mr. Ambassador with all due respect. Are you sure these guys are playing straight with you? Well, I believe I have a good relationship with Koshrat. I trust him But these situations are always hard to figure It just seems very strange this group came out of nowhere.  I Assure you Mac Koshrat appears to be sincere He told me what he knows will know we'll just see won't we sir Well, it looks like everything's nailed down for that meeting tomorrow with Koshrat Ben is everything secure over the hotel. Yes, sir. Back to bed and over there right now. That's standing. Could you pass these? We heard that you know about the best deals on brass and carpets. Oh, yeah, yeah for you. I know the best the best come on You know what I like about America really Nelson I listen to really Nelson all the time. He's a good singer No, yeah, sure. I like Toby Keith.

I pulled a shift at the command post tonight Besides I really need to watch every penny as the horses were really killing me. You know what I mean Anyway, I'm just gonna order room service, but thanks for the invite. Appreciate it. Hey, thanks for sharing George you left your laptop in the room. Oh, it's okay. I took the hard drive out and left it at the embassy Do you hear that? You know that silence no, well and Elsa But it's trippy was up. Oh my it was great. We got us some really good deals though Yes, he did You never to finish telling me about the meeting in the ambassador's office I'm gonna turn on the TV Yeah, yeah Roger that everything is quiet here and everything's fine. Okay Mm-hmm Yeah, Roger that the key is in we are going secure Yes, I have secure facts. I want to send from the general the sec death Murdered in the press for being soft on terrorism not to mention the fact he'd lose aid from the international lending community But he'll play nice with us. Mr. Ambassador the vehicles are in front of the embassy and ready to roll, sir general Let's roll So the Americans know nothing about a relationship with Abu Bakr Mr.. President the American motorcade has just entered the compound a Citizen of a course down was involved in the assassination of your attache Hand over anyone who was involved in that murder and that will eliminate any suspicion General you are not people of my country you do not understand the political process What you are asking of me? something to you The people of our country were very protective of our own one of our boys was assassinated on your streets It would be in your best interest to help us apprehend that assassin Do I make myself clear? You are threatening me in my country here in my office. No, sir I'm asking for your help made a commitment to my friend your ambassador. I Told him we will do everything possible to apprehend Whoever is responsible for the killing of your attache But don't threaten me general We are friends, of course friend We're very successful and yielded very useful information really How actually the Americans first mistake took place before they ever left their country Yes, sir. We're in good shape on that general. In fact, I'm waiting for a call from the RSO the embassy anytime now I can use the sue three in the back if you'd like me to get an update for you right now excellent You see the first piece of the puzzle came from what should have been a secure telephone call between the Pentagon and the American Embassy here in Acre Stan, okay, go in secure You mean you broke the American code no no excellency, but they could not synchronize their secure telephones for some reason Yeah, it's not going through they know that we record every telephone call that comes into or originates from the American Embassy I can't seem to get this thing secure. Listen what kind of cell phones we should get for the general. I mean big dog The information we collected from this conversation identified the exact type of telephone general MacArthur would use while in Acre Stan Listen, I have a question this information later proved to be very useful The Americans rely so heavily on communications intelligence Perhaps they are not as intelligent as some people think they pride themselves on their technology The second piece of the puzzle came after we had intercepted the secure call from the Pentagon We had alerted the embassy in Washington to report any information about general MacArthur's visit One of our alert embassy employees in Washington happened to be leaving on holiday The same airport on the same day in Washington when members of general MacArthur's communications Then understood the importance of our alert


Good morning. The first item of business is general questions. At question number 1 I call Sandesh Gulh��. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will confirm whether what was at messaging by the health secretary and his ministers are covered by freedom of information legislation and the processes that are in place to archive these to prevent them from being inadvertently lost or otherwise deleted. Minister, George Adam? Thank you. Gollani i ddaeth ei ffraeg. D tearsigau o gwaith i ddaethau o ddaethau ach에isio ar gyfer y materio y gallu ei g Lord Gwyrddon yn dod o rhan oedd yn eithaf o ddwyll Méadau.  Na'r cair o arlwydd o gyfer o ddim i gael o'r cydwellog, iddyn nhon o gydbwysigol, o'r ddim yn iddyn nhon o'r cydwellog sydd o'r platform yw'r rhai yn datblygu y record cydwellog. Gwyn i'r traitor?  Will the Scottish Government commit to releasing all that messaging where any personal messages are redacted by an independent party? Perhaps it will be helpful for Dr Gulhane if I explain the process again, because I feel that I probably didn't, from his supplementary question, articulate the situation, because substantive government business and communication between ministers and officials is normally conducted using email and the Scots IT platform. The Scottish Government policy is clear that staff and ministers using any digital platform have responsibility to consider issues such as security and GDPR compliance. Mobile messaging apps can be a useful tool, but there is a clear expectation that any information that relates to the substance of government decision making should be transposed to the official record and retained. What assessment is made of the financial health of businesses and the viability of projects prior to the award of a grant of public funds? The Scottish Government has extensive guidance and process established and available to Scottish Government staff to ensure adequate due diligence is conducted around all organisations that receive public funds via public sector grants. The guidance also requires all projects to be assessed for viability via business cases to ensure that the regular proprietary and value for money principles of the Scottish Government are adhered to. Public bodies are also expected to observe the guidance within the Scottish Public Finance Manual in relation to grants and adhere to the principles of value for money, regularity and proprietary. In September, the company recycling technologies went into administration with £22.8 million in liabilities and just £1 million in assets. The company was given a grant of £1.7 million of taxpayer funds by Zero Waste Scotland in 2018, but, according to the company's house, accounts for the company lodged on 11 October 2017, raised concerns about the ability of the company at that point to continue as a going concern. Why was the grant of £1.7 million of taxpayers' money paid to a company where there were concerns about its on-going viability? Will any of the money now be recovered to the taxpayer? What lessons have been learned from the sorry episode? As I already indicated, there are processes and procedures in place within the Scottish Public Finance Manual in relation to grants and those that adhere to the principles of value for money, regularity and proprietary. If the member has been serious about getting an answer to that specific question, he will let me know in advance so that I can come prepared with the answer to it. Of course, he does not expect me to know the ins and outs of every single company that has been awarded a grant. If he seriously wants an answer to that, I will take that on board and go find out the information and reply back to him on the specifics in relation to that particular business and the situation that applied and why the grant was made in the background work that was done to check the business case within the principles that I have just outlined. The recent Audit Scotland report on the consolidated accounts was quite revealing that the Scottish Government wasted £50 million of public funds in return for zero jobs at BiFab. If the Government had its time again, would it make the same decision about BiFab? Of course, when you go into any situation, you are not sure what the outcome is going to be. That is the whole point. That is why the public sector steps in, because if it was that easy and that clear cut will win, then obviously the private sector would be investing in their bonus need for public sector involvement. The public sector gets involved, so we think that there is a case where we think that public money can be used adequately to support an economic outcome, whereas there is a strategic intent that is important to Scotland's economy to be pursued and, of course, to do so within the bounds of the public sector finance manual and the other regulations and business case requirements that are in place. We are not going to go through all those scenarios and come out the other end with them being financially successful. That is absolutely and obviously the case, but it is not that this Government is not going to be in a position where we are not going to intervene for fear of failure but we will win some and we will lose some. That is what it is all about. It is important that we intervene where we think that the numbers make sense, but, of course, the outcome is not guaranteed in any scenario. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will give an update on the next steps for the national convention conversation to inform a new dementia strategy which closed through responses on 5 December.  We have heard the priorities of people living with dementia, their families and carers and individuals and organisations interested in dementia policy. Final engagement events are continuing throughout this week. We will take those responses and working with our national dementia lived experience panel, strategic advisory group and other key stakeholders develop an outcomes-focused strategy with publication planned for spring of 2023. The discovery of the breakthrough drug Le Can Imab is exceptionally welcome news and offers real hope for Alzheimer's sufferers and their families. Professor Tara Spires Jones and the research team at Edinburgh University are to be congratulated on this development. However, this morning I would like to ask if you are familiar with childhood dementia, a condition caused by more than 70 individual genetic disorders that together account for almost as many deaths as in children as cancer. There is no cure and there are very few treatments that can even slow it down. Will Kevin Stewart commit to taking cognisance of this devastating but little-known condition when developing the new dementia strategy? I thank Cocab Stewart for raising this very important issue. Childhood dementia is a term that is sometimes used to describe a very rare group of neurodegenerative disorders that require referral for specialist pediatric assessment and then care within specialist neurodegenerative disorder services. The NHS will always continue to use the best international clinical evidence and research to inform best practice. I am grateful to the member for raising awareness of this very important issue in the chamber today. To ask the Scottish Government what progress it is making on addressing the reported care staff retention and recruitment challenge within social care. The Scottish Government acknowledged the pressures that are faced by the social care sector at present. To address those, we plan to launch an adult social care recruitment campaign in January of next year. We have approved funding for my Job Scotland recruitment website to enable all organisations to advertise vacancies free of charge. We continue to push the UK Government for improved mitigation system and working with stakeholders to develop resources and support to recruit international workers. We also plan to host further job fairs with DWP across Scotland, and we continue to work with employability partners and the SSC to deliver career events targeting young people. The fundamental issue at the heart of the retention and recruitment issues that we have is the gap between what care workers are paid in the private sector and care workers are paid in the public sector. In the private sector, it is low-pay, poor terms and poor conditions that have workers walking out of that sector and making it more difficult. All care is paid for by this Government. Does he agree that that is the fundamental issue? If he does, why is he not addressing it? Unless we address the poor pay, poor terms and poor conditions of care workers, working in the private sector and paid for by the public sector, we will not address this problem. The Government recognises the pay and conditions issues in the care sector. That is why the Government has given not one but two pay rises to ad-ox social carers here in Scotland in the past year. We are looking to see what more we can do on that front. I would highlight to Mr Rowley and to the chamber that ad-ox social care workers here in Scotland are paid much more than those in Labour-controlled Wales or Tory-controlled England. Christine Grahame, I refer to the Scottish Government commission research entitled quotes, contribution of EU workers to social care 2022, published in August. Further to the findings, does the minister agree with me that, while accepting Covid has had its impact, Brexit has made recruitment and retention of EU workers worse? I completely agree with Christine Grahame. The sector is deeply concerned about the impact that the post-EU exit loss of freedom of movement is having on recruitment or to critical front-line social care roles. UK Government immigration policy fails to address Scotland's distinct demographic and economic needs and completely disregards key sectors that we have relied upon during the health pandemic, including social care. We believe that Scotland's social care services benefit greatly from the staff who joined the workforce through international recruitment. I wish that we had control over immigration policy here so that we did not have the situation where some services have lost loads and loads of staff with one service that I talked to losing 40 per cent of their workforce because of Brexit. That is not good enough. Question 5, Jenny Minto. To ask the Scottish Government what its latest assessment is of the potential impacts of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 and the Substitute Control Act 2022 on future agricultural support schemes in areas such as Argyll and Bute. Are farmers and crofters faced challenges that are not found elsewhere in the UK, so we have tailored our current agricultural support to help address this? For example, through schemes such as less favoured area support. The deeply damaging UK Internal Market Act, which was imposed on Scotland without our consent, allowed UK Ministers to introduce the Substitute Control Act. We have serious concerns about that, not least because the principles that are set out in schedule 1 of that act risk constraining our ability to tailor support to the specific needs of Scottish farmers and crofters in the future. Jenny Minto. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. In Argyll and Bute in 2021, 739 businesses received elfast payments. Those provide vital investment to hill farmers and crofters who are a crucial part of our agricultural sector. The NFUS has noted that 97% of the Scottish Government's budget for agricultural schemes are derived from Westminster. The legislation that I mentioned has left the door open to future policy decisions that threaten the ability of the Scottish Government to offer the focused support of this nature. Will the cabinet secretary say to hill farmers and crofters that I represent who are concerned that the Tory Government and Westminster would be prepared to sacrifice necessary support, like elfast, in pursuit of their mission of undermining devolution? I absolutely agree that the UK legislation could threaten our ability to support farmers and crofters in constituencies such as the members through vital schemes such as elfasts. We are committed to maintaining that support for those farming and stewarding the land in our most challenging areas. However, that will depend on getting the certainty of UK Government funding and the guarantees being honoured going forward. EU exit means that we no longer have the long-term certainty of funding and the unilateral choices that are being imposed by the Treasury provide insufficient replacement EU budget. We have been really clear and consistent in our position that we expect full replacement of EU funds to ensure that we do not see any detriment to our finances and we expect the UK Government to fully respect the devolution settlement in any future arrangement. However, as it stands at the moment, I have no clarity in terms of future budget and we know that we are already facing a shortfall of £93 million because those guarantees have not been honoured. Let's have more succinct questions and responses please. Question number six, Michael Marra. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the reported delays to the development of the Swallow Roundabout in Dundee. Minister, Jenny Gilruth. Transport Scotland is working with representatives of the developer on a minute of agreement, which will provide the Scottish ministers consent to make changes to the A90 trunk road in the vicinity of the Swallow Roundabout in Dundee. This work is not straightforward, but every effort is being made to bring matters to a conclusion. Residents in the western gateway of Dundee have been waiting for more than seven years for those vital upgrade works on the Swallow Roundabout. At long last, that minute of agreement the minister refers to is sitting on a desk at Transport Scotland. Can the minister say when the agreement will be signed and what more can the minister do to lock down a timetable for those vital safety measures? I know that Mr Marra takes a very keen interest in this issue, and I know that he has been in correspondence previously with Transport Scotland on this matter. Of course, delivery of the improvements needed is a requirement of planning, and the developer is obligated to deliver junction improvements at the Swallow Roundabout. That is going to address the impact of the development on the trunk road network, of course, for which Scottish ministers have responsibility. I have discussed this matter with my officials in Transport Scotland. They advise that they are in regular contact with the developer on this matter, and they will continue to work constructively with Springfield properties to progress the outstanding issues. That includes, of course, the completion of the minute of agreement as soon as possible. In the interim, I am happy to have my officials meet with Mr Marra and interested parties to ensure progress on this issue. I recognise that, as he has mentioned, that this has been going on for a number of years, and there is a need for the local community to have that timetable. To ask the Scottish Government with regard to flooding what engagement it has had with the UK Government to explore the great risk transfer, as described in the recent David Hume Institute report. The DHI report explores risk and where it falls between the individual and institutions. The report highlights flood re-insurance scheme to help people to access affordable flood insurance, and it highlights it as a best practice example of how institutions can underwrite risks that are not realistically within individuals control. That is currently benefiting 16,500 people properties in Scotland. Flood re also supports the build-back better approach whereby homeowners install property flood resilience measures when repairing their properties after a flood, ensuring that they are better prepared, and the Scottish Government is working with Governments across the UK to ensure that flood insurance remains widely available and affordable. I thank the minister for her response. With several areas of Scotland, including my constituency of Aberdeen South and North Concardin, now at increased risk. As the minister referenced, the flood re-scream offers some hope to householders. However, too few people are aware of the scheme and it excludes properties built since 2009. Can I ask what steps the Scottish Government is taking to publicise the scheme and ensure homeowners are aware of the possibility of affordable insurance through the flood re-scream? We will continue to work with flood re, the insurance industry and others to promote flood insurance. We have funded the Scottish Flood Forum since 2009, and they work with communities and advise about property flood resilience and insurance issues like flood re. I am always happy to work with the member. I am happy for her to speak to me about any ways that we can ensure her constituents know that they have access to the support. The majority of homes in high flood risk areas will be eligible for flood re. Properties built since 1 January 2009 are not covered, but that is because it is important not to incentivise home building in flood risk areas. Scottish planning policy takes a precautionary approach to ensure that new properties are built outwith areas of significant flood risk. Of course, it is updated policy on flood risk, which aims to strengthen resilience to flood risk and reduce the vulnerability of existing and future development.

So somebody's healed from codependency. It could be you or you're not going to feel that way Right in this connection. Do you remember when I was saying like Sometimes those twin flames Can trigger things within us, right? And and there's people that come from very healthy families They had Lovely beautiful stable upbringings and they get involved with someone who is not well And that's like a virus and it attaches itself to you and you become unwell the longer that you spend time with someone Where there's maybe codependency or an addiction, okay? And so like when I was saying if you were with someone who was leaving you on red And uh, maybe not calling you back and and not giving to the relationship and being in and out of your life That could have created a dynamic in you if it went on for a long time Where you might have become A little codependent or you might have felt like like it started affecting you because that stuff does happen It affects your brainways. That's neuroplasticity our brains can change Based on trauma and things like that healing from that Okay, and that's why I was saying somebody's going to come in here and show you What it's like to be loved they're going to show you How to be loved properly if you weren't in the past, okay Are you going to go forward with this person? You might you might It might just be a learning lesson for you. It might be something that you need to have this time in your life If you were in an abusive relationship or you were involved with someone who was just Not putting The relationship not pursuing it in the maybe in the way you were and weren't matching your energy you let go This is this feels like someone's going to come in and show you what a real relationship looks like What it means and you're going to get yourself back.

Okay, know that those readers are not connected to the divine They're not downloading spiritual messages. They're not mediums.  Okay Try not to get yourself in a position where and and I'm not talking about an occasional I'm talking about almost all the time those tarot readers and I don't I've never I've seen like one or two over the past six or seven years that their readings were nothing but um Hatred and they get a lot of nasty comments and people are like they're not doing well Unless There's people riding their coattails and they're all up in the hate too The whole purpose of the reading is to give you a little insight and to give you some type of hope back At least I try to do that with my readings Maybe I fall short sometimes. I don't really know But if you ever Listen to a reading and you walk away feeling worse than before you clicked on that reader Just get away from that. Okay, and I don't know why I had to give this message.  So you know Listen To the readings with discernment. Okay, and if you start feeling bad or you're like, oh, no Uh, that's not giving you hope about yourself.  That does not solve any problems At all that just that's abusive. That's an abusive tower reader. All right. I'm done with that. All right I'm gonna leave you reading there. I will see you guys tomorrow. All right

I've fallen like a long ago in a sponsor of Cheerio Jam which you guys know, I love Cheerio Jam, I've worked with them so much now and I love that. This box right here, it's huge and then this is my crisis box, I have this box before when I go, that is not the lighting I wanted, I made this box up a while ago, I've done numerous videos on this subject where I showed you what's in my box and blah blah blah. The last time I showed you the box was when I was going through a very unstable period where I was in and out of hospital and in the boxes I had stuff that I'd need if I was doing my own mission. Now obviously in the last few months a lot has changed and I'm doing a lot better than I was and I thought I'd give you an update video on what's in this and why I have this and why I have the items I have.  And this box for me is something that I do use a lot, like if I'm having anxiety, if I'm like getting triggered and I feel like I'm going to start having flashbacks, I can go to this box and feel relaxed, comforted and if need be I can have some medication in this box that I can take to calm me down. So with that in mind let's get on with this video and get into the world. People have these boxes for any reasons, they're called crisis boxes, self-care boxes, self-soothed boxes, etc. They are notoriously used and there are so many videos on YouTube like if you type in mental health box onto the search bar and you'll see a load of videos. Personally I use this more for my anxiety and flashbacks, that's what. My main issue is and that's the symptoms that I have the most. So I chose to get a Peter Robert box because I literally love Peter Robert and so does my little sister. The first thing that is on top because it's so big is this, a blanket. Becca actually got me this and it's a kid's one but I got it because it's soft and it makes me feel safe and I like it. Unicorns are my thing and especially now that I'm not working I'm very happy that I have this box because I get stressed and my big way of coping my stress was while I was working anyway was to spend money on books and all sorts and just do anything I could to distract and so I am actually glad that I built this box at all. I stopped working and that's a whole video in itself. I briefly talked about that in my updated video yesterday. This video is not about that but this is my blanket. It is a kid's one but it's soft. I find it comforting and it does help me. Like feeling intense emotions. I can just cuddle up to it and it's soft and comforting and it reminds me of all the little girls that me and my sister used to have all the time when I went home. Most of you guys know that at this current moment in time I'm actually not in contact with the majority of my family but I don't get to talk to my little sister very often anymore. This year that's come about and that's quite hard to deal with because I am close to her and I was helping. The next thing I want to show is the year's cards which I've called Cards Against Anxiety. I got these from the work. There are lots of things like this on Etsy as well and I'm also currently in the middle of creating a little card set with coping skills for PTSD, flashbacks and anxiety on. They will be upon my Etsy store while I'm talking about Etsy. I also do a monthly mental health self-care box where I have tutorials, sensory things and different bits put into these boxes. Helps other people but is there to be that and it's a nice little thing to get in the mail and I love doing it and I wouldn't do it if I didn't like doing it because honestly they don't make any money from it. That's not why I do it. The cost of it covers the shipping and the other half of the money I donate to a charity. Currently I am working with the In Disorder charity Nicole Beat who I have done a 12 hour live stream for before and it nearly killed me. I do a lot of work with them and I have done for a few years charity which is certainly something and yes. So these are little anxiety tips and relaxation techniques and we love these. It's got a book in it and then it's got the cards which are very small but actually made so you carry them out. They have different coping skills. I would recommend these to literally anyone, whether you have an anxiety disorder or you just need something to cope. I would highly recommend looking into it and things like this. And more on the subject of cards I do have which has got all these different emotions because sometimes when I'm experiencing intense emotions I can't actually verbalize how I feel. And with this I can. I can like... The main thing is that I don't need to learn to disbelieve is like obviously some of them I don't use like the hungry, thirsty, cold hot ones I don't use. But the emotion side of it I do and I have this in my box but I also took some cookies earlier. I have this which has cards on too. I have taken off the ones that aren't really relevant. So I like the food ones and temperature ones. Let's have emotions on here. I literally touched my keys because I wear a landmine on my keys on. But that's just something a little that I thought I'd share in this as well. I feel like it's like this is not really a disruptor key for and I think it's an incredible coping skill actually. And I will link these in the description down below. Moving on I have some photos. Some are loose and some aren't photo albums. So I've got a picture of me and Becca. Becca is my girlfriend who's at the door and she's in the room next door. I'm going to watch Casualty in 20 minutes. I have this photo album that Lou got me. It's a Wally thing but with unicorns. I have that. I did say I like unicorns in the beginning of the photo album. Then I've got like pens and stuff. The only significant one, mine is my unicorn horn, which is my favourite. I have a red pen and go into the box. So I'm someone who does struggle with their farm and I've been clean since my last admission. And I have a red pen in here because red, as you guys probably heard this before, who use it to mark on themselves where they've set up harm. And one of them is self harming, you draw it on and it's just kind of a coping skill. So I share that one. That's one that's helped me out more times than I get to mention. I have a lot of soft toys in here because I find them kind of obsessed. Another thing in here that's important for me is this. It's a ballonet and I find them a little... I find them positive trigger. I have a notebook that says everything's going to be okay. I always put new notebooks in here so I can write whatever I'm feeling down and reflect on it later. I do always switch the notebook out though because I never want to have something in that box that is going to trigger me. And obviously when I'm using that I'll be good. So I do have to switch out the notebook quite a lot. They're good to reflect on when you're in the right room of mind. Also if I love them, but dislept your aid. Moving on, I have a coloring book. Again, unicorn and metallic. I do have some normal crayons in here. I have a lot of stuff in this box, believe me. Then we've got the color therapy ones. These are color therapy pencils. Coloring books, helpful. Doing one of them when I stretch. Incredibly helpful. I have a lot of coloring books as well, I do change it. So moving a bit on. I have face masks. I have all different ones because they're the kind that... I just find them relaxing. I always have. I keep them in there because they are like a relaxation technique. Random is like, but I do also have sample. I put like hair sample things in here. So I've got a shampoo thing here, but it's just a little bit of self-care, you know? And you don't want like bottles of stuff in the box because it weighs a ton anyway. But I just like washing hair and general self-care things that you don't think about, but matter. As the one who does struggle with motivation, especially when it comes to actually having stuff like that does really help. I do have this, which is a Yankee candle lavender. I might sound a bit weird to have no freshener in here, but it makes the box smell of lavender. And I like the sound of that one. I love the feeling of the walls in there as well. If I'm tired, I have this, which I love my face mask. So now, hands on eyes. Now, this is an instant stationery in here. This is important stuff. So I have tissues, if I'm crying. I have clonazepam and 225 milligram of quick tire pee in. And I also have an inhaler in here because if I'm hyperventilating, having a panic attack or struggling to breathe, I can choose my inhaler, which it was. I had a spare one. I just keep it in this box. I just have one I'm using. And I've got the spare one in my medication box. But I have this facial moisturizer, which is small, little, and helpful. These are just little self-care things that people often forget about. And then we have a Charlie pink spray. It speaks for itself, it is what it is. Then we have my lavender scent things. And lavender is something that I use and rely on. Hardcore. Now it's more photos and these are of me and my sister. No, they're not. These are memories. So like I said, me and my blackberry, which was like amazing. Me and a mental health YouTuber who doesn't post anymore called Lorelysian. When I went to Newcastle and she walked me to the hotel that I was staying in. Again, amazing experience. 2016, that was a long time ago now. So I have them. Again, positive, positive memories. I've got to get some spare. This morning got this up early. So I also have these unicorn bath melts, which I actually got signed last year and I have that used. But I have these, so now we live in a flat with a bath and I can relax. So I've had recently showers and student hall problems. So I hadn't gone to sleep in the kitchen in my flat. I don't know, well, I have these, they're just little bath melts.  I have a can of coke and I have sort of chocolate buttons. Small things. The caffeine's more when I'm struggling. I don't want to go show up in the kitchen door that does my head in, togethering. So I do keep a can of coke and some cheap-ass buttons that I've got from Albie. Then I have these little eye-colours again. Relaxation, huge. I have reusable ice-cream in here, which again, is another thing for self-savvy harm. What we do is we freeze them and then if you need to feel like you're going to be too hard, you can put it on your wrist and it gives you a burning sensation. It causes temporary pain, but in the years, no actual harm. It is just a safe way of managing things. And then for when I'm pissed and when I'm annoyed, I have my button. They have tangle toys. I can't believe it's these. I literally have them everywhere. I like the textured ones best. And this is one that I found quite cute. It has a little kitty on it. What I have, I've got loads of these. Tangles everywhere in the throughout, honestly. I have a bouncy ball, might seem stupid, but I can throw it at the wall rather than punching it. Throwing my ball at the wall is definitely less damaging than punching it, especially with other areas. And why is that? I have a puzzle cube. Thing cube, it's not a cube. It's a puzzle ball and you literally just mix these up. And then when you need to, like, it's a puzzle. You get the idea. It's like a Rubik's Cube, but a ball. And I've got another ball, it's on lighter. I like sensory stimulating things. So I have a little worry monster. I can write down what I'm thinking and feeling and I do usually do this. And you can open them up, put them in and reflect later on. Again, I've used this quite a lot. I literally love it. Then I have candles. Sweet for themselves. They're relaxing. I find them relaxing, especially this blackberry one and this one. These are my... Then I have this, which is something that my 15 year old sister got me quite well back. It's my star sign. And you know, I've got a little stone that my other sister got me. My bit of stone. And I have my Pandora bracelet in here that basically with this, everything on here has been a gift from somewhere in my family. Like, the significance of this Pandora bracelet is more than just a bracelet. Like, I've never bought a bead on here. These are all ones that I've had bought for me. So my 21st birthday. And then I got the bracelet and the other ones on my 16th birthday. And then this little jar is a Sagittarius one. So it's my star sign because anyone doesn't know my birthday is in December. End of the year, you know? I have my reusable straw, just like a reusable straw, you know? Especially if you make a hot deal. Again, I've got a sketchbook in here. I like drawing. I don't share what I draw. One, it's yet. Two, it's graphic usually. And it's not made for the internet. It's for myself. I have a squishy cat. I have a lot of fidgets. My little sister, I don't know, again. And I have Orbeez. I like Orbeez. They are easily my favourite things to play with. I've got another little fidget. I've shown this a lot. It's really subtle. I have one of these in my uni bag and I have one in my box. I like fiddling with stuff. So having this is definitely, definitely a help. Moving on, I have this. Some of a puzzle thing, very simple. I don't think I need to explain. A lot of these things to keep me busy when I'm spying or if I need distraction. And if I want to be able to reflect on things and I want to document what's going on, I have a little shitty camera that was about 12 pounds. I got like five years ago and I just keep that in there. Got work quality, but if I want to reflect or see how it am, and if I want to record, I just do it on this. Nothing dramatic, tiny cable. So not a hazard, not a risk.  You can weight blanket in pretty much every room in here, but I use, I like the texture, they're weighted and I find that. I have, again, this is another distraction thing. I have an aqua beads thing. This is the second one I've actually put in here. I just have it in here because it's a nice, simple, cheap distraction. Moving on again. What do I have two fidget cubes in there? I have, again, these are all over the flat. I have my little mini-stitch. I actually, these came today in the mail. I'm really happy. I have a stitch of key rings. I put them on my keys. I have just another pen, it's a unicorn one. I have a flashy unicorn that I love. It's literally my favorite thing ever, my goods. I do have a fidget spinner. I have stereotypes. They're helpful. Then I have a quote at the bottom that says, live, laugh, love. And then the last thing in this box that I actually have are these friendship cards that if I open, oh, it's not on there, it's on the back, sorry. Okay, so these are from Lou. Again, I mentioned her earlier on. And these are little cards with quotes and positivity and I absolutely love them. I've read these countless times. That is what in my box. So hand over to pass them while I put your attention before I do. If you haven't checked out my Etsy store, I do monthly boxes. I do other things on there, every little things. Like I said, I don't really make any money on that. That's not why I do it. I do it to help other people. That's literally my only motivation. If you do, subscribe. And if you wanna know more about me and get to know me on a bit more personal level, head over to my Twitter, which may or may not be private at the time of this upload. That's the debate that I'm having with myself at the minute. So yeah, I'm gonna hand you over to pass me. Peace for now. Bye.


Look, I'm gonna be honest, Satan wants to convince you of two things. The first thing is that you're good enough without God. Millions upon millions of people have bought into this lie. They obsess about self-love and yet they forget about who their first love ought to be, God. We have all fallen short of the glory of God and yet while we were still sinners Christ died for us. The second thing that Satan wants to convince you of is that you are not enough with God. Voices of self-condemnation and self-hate come early and often for a believer that's not grounded in the promises of God. Know this, that God bought you by His grace and has empowered you with His power and presence in your life that you can fulfill the purposes that He has for you. Don't stay in your pride thinking that you can do this thing on your own and don't sit in self-pity thinking that God could never use you. God has a mission for you and He's given you everything you need in Himself for you to fulfill it. So what are you waiting for?


hard to come this far to only win eight games. So we have to celebrate this on the plane. We got a long play ride going back home, but we're going to come in on Monday and make sure we stop preparing, getting our bodies right, and get ready for the Houston, Texas. You said all along, we just need to get on and run. Pretty good, y'all done that? Although I'm like four straight since you said that, I think.  We just had to keep improving. I've been talking about this all the time. I mean, we didn't play our best first half, but we came out in the second half and really did our thing. And I think it was kind of the defense facing some adversity and going out there and trying to finish that as the game out. So definitely proud of us in that aspect. But at the end of the day, it was all about the next game. At this point, we're going to celebrate this one. But it's trying to get to 9-5 now.


Hi Prakiti, it's nice meeting you again and this time around we have the opportunity to discuss in more details about the mentorship program we are having together. I'm really pleased that you are the one I'm mentoring and for me what I would advise you is you need to be very committed, read a lot because with that you get to understand the process much better and I think I'll say, you've already informed me that you'll be following loss and damage so I'll say this very interesting publication that was done this morning which I happen to be one of the people who were interviewed, it was done by Chatham House which is very useful about loss and damage financing since you are following loss and damage and this is an issue this is a hot cake or an important issue being discussed in this course I think you'll find it very useful so how do you see negotiation process this course? I wish I had this kind of guidance or this kind of access to the documents before because I was in COP26 as well and it feels like COP27 is my first course because in COP26 as you said I didn't have any mentor or instructor guidance, I didn't get any guidance to what to follow and what to not and I used to go to every kind of everything every rooms, take notes and then I used to go to adaptation, mitigation, loss and damage because I didn't know that I need to just follow in one for the first time when I was in SB I followed loss and damage and I found that was my interest but still I was not aware of many technical things, I'm still learning and we are in the learning process so in COP27 when I found that I have a mentor who can guide me and we have this where I can get access to many documents so it feels kind of secure that if I don't know anything I can ask you so before it was not the things, I used to get confused, I used to get lost and I used to find it by myself but now I have one whom I can ask something so that would be great if you send me something related to loss and damage and also specific to finance, loss and damage, finance facilities I think with AIID they always emphasise this as a junior negotiator when you come in, try to identify a topic or an agenda item that you are so much passionate about and follow that one This is not only like UNFSA, thematic issues, this is like the personal issue to me like loss and damage, I have been seeing it in my community I have been feeling it, that's why I will be following this Moving on, I would just like to know what has been your impression about Week 1 so far It was kind of hectic but very useful, I got to know more about the Santiago Network and these technical things, it was very jargon but now I am trying to understand this So we have done with this first week and what do you suggest and what do you think that I would expect from this coming second week? This second week would be a very busy week, we would be here till late at night because so far we are only able to agree on one agenda item which is the fourth review of the adaptation fund We had an agreement on that with regards to the other agenda items we are still negotiating on them, it would send to the ministerial level which our ministers to discuss on them but even though we would be here to support our ministers guide them, provide them with technical advice on what positions they need to stick on on behalf of our groups Thank you, that was very helpful, thank you


Where you work, it's the payroll savings plan. Where you bank, it's the bond a month plan. Everywhere, it's United States savings bonds for real financial security. How do you do, ladies and gentlemen? This is your host, Kenny Delmar, introducing Guest Star, one of a series of programs produced and transcribed in New York and presented by this station and United States savings bonds as a public service. Our guest for this program is the dainty diva of the Dolores Downbeat, Lena Horne. Yes, indeed, but first, the savings bonds orchestra directed by Dennis Agay, the three singing dollars and a medley of welcome revivals. That's my weakness now, and I love you. Sultry songbird of the somber sonata, Lena Horne. My, my, Kenny, sultry songbird of the somber sonata and before, dainty diva of the Dolores Downbeat.  Yeah, as a matter of fact, my friends call me the gay illiterate. Great. I'm taking advantage, I know, I shouldn't have said that. But say, with all the new songs that keep coming out, you must spend lots of time learning so many of them. Don't you find it difficult? Well, not at all, Kenny. I have a system, you see. There are about 200 songs published every week. I just examine them, then divide them into group A and group B, good and bad. The bad ones I discard and the good ones I learn. Yeah, but still 200 songs a week, that's over 10,000 songs a year. Even discarding the bad ones, you have to learn quite a few of those 10,000 songs. Oh yeah, some years I have to learn as many as a dozen. Some years. Yeah, well, I agree with you. Very few modern love songs are really good and I don't know why. That Chukovsky music is pretty. Well, I think it's in the lyrics. They've got it down to too much of a formula. It always seems to go sort of like this. A loves B, but B loves C. And B can't see B for A. Or there's a twist. A loves C, but C loves B, but B can't see C. C, senorita, that's very good, yeah. Well, absolutely. I'd say that love songs today lack true romance. You know, they're not filled with tender passion and sentiment and, well, you know, they don't transport you to that never, never land where all our dreams of love come true. You gotta have a little mausoleum. Well, I take it, Kenny, you dislike modern love songs. Dislike, I'll tell you how much I disliked them in just two words, completely. I got that, a friend of mine wrote that in. Well, if there's anything I like, it's an old-fashioned love song. And if there's anything I sing, it's old-fashioned love. Ah, didn't we just sneak into that title just peachy? I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart. And there it will, the time is joy and tears, always the same. Oh, never mind about being modest. It was merely magnificent, slightly sensational. Oh, it was just one of those things? Well, a trifle terrific is a hint of heaven. Really, Kenny, it's just one of those things. Look, I'm trying to tell you how wonderful you sing and you just keep saying it's just one of those things. Why? Because that's the title of the song I'm going to sing right now. Oh, smart girl. Just one of those crazy things. One of those bells that nah, and then a trip to them. One of those. You have a standing invitation to visit guest star any time you can drop in. Well, thank you, Kenny. And incidentally, I've been hearing a lot of these guest star programs over the radio at home. I heard the one with Burns and Allen, the one with L'Arts Melchior and Helen Traubel, and Nellie Templeton, Kaye Kaiser, and Fibromagee and Molly. And oh, gee, I don't know how many. You must be a real radio fan. Well, I am. And a savings bonds fan, too. That's the point I was going to make. The guests you have on these programs all have different talents.  But when it comes to saving for the future, they all go about it the same way, by investing regularly in the United States savings bonds. Well, that's right, Lynn. A lot of famous folks have performed on guest star. And every one of them is not only a firm believer in United States savings bonds, but a regular buyer of United States savings bonds. Crosby, Hope, Durante, Moore, Skelton, Gladys Swarthout, Henry Morgan, Phil Baker, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson. All of them and lots of others have taken the time and trouble to appear on guest star just because they want to help let everybody know about the value of buying bonds. Well, the facts about United States saving bonds speak for themselves. They are a safe investment, guaranteed by our government. They are a profitable investment, paying $4 back for three in just 10 years. And of course, I've learned from experience that the only effective way to build a real nest egg is to save regularly. So for that reason, I think the payroll savings plan is a wonderful idea.  And definitely, because where you work, you just tell the folks how much you want set aside from your pay each week toward the purchase of United States savings bonds and they do the rest. Buy the bonds and deliver them to you. That's easy, automatic saving. And the kind of saving that produces real results. But look here, I've been talking enough. What was that tune Dennis Agui, the three dollars in the orchestra, were rehearsing earlier? Oh, they were rehearsing? Oh, that was, if this isn't love. From Finnian's rainbow? Uh-huh. Oh, well, let's hear it. All right. This isn't love. Thinks about United States savings bonds. Just tell them I feel the same way millions of Americans who own them feel. They're wonderful. Right. This is your host, Kenny Delmar, signing off for guest star, one of a series of programs produced and transcribed in New York and presented by this station and United States savings bonds for the public service. Our sincere thanks to Lena Horne for being with us on this program. And until next we meet, here's a question to remember. Have you invested in United States savings bonds? This week, there are goodbye, goodbye, that is.
