Hello everybody hooded cober commander 788 here welcome back to class of Friday It's time to look at another GI Joe classified series six inch action figure this time We are looking at scarlet. This was among the first wave of GI Joe classified series figures There was a later variant of this figure with slightly different colors This is the earliest release looking at the packaging. We have the window pane that shows the figure and the accessories We have the logo GI Joe classified series. This is scarlet We have the artwork on the front of the box, which is entirely adequate that artwork continues to the side of the box And again, it's fine. Here's something interesting. We have scarlet in martial arts gear We also have scarlet in combat gear wearing a scarf that is very similar to the scarf that will come with the new Classified series stalker. This is number five in the series on the back of the box We have the generic poster artwork. We've seen on other GI Joe classified series figures And on this side of the box, we have these symbols which represent her specialties This one means she has the key to the syringe cabinet. This means things are looking up This means she lifts her leg to pee and this means she deleted that file folder But she forgot to empty her recycle bin I understand why they do these symbols instead of actual file cards if they printed the file cards on the box They'd have to do multiple languages There's like five languages on these boxes and they are not going to print separate boxes for each country But I don't think they should print the file card on the box I think they should make the file card and insert in the box with a separate file card for each of those languages So each language would have its own actual file card and not just rely on these symbols Now let's open the box and see what's in there Let's pull out the figure and take a look at it. Here is scarlet outside of the box This figure is meant to evoke the general design aesthetic of the first scarlet action figure from 1982 But this classified scarlet is heavily updated, which is good The figure needed an update and maybe some more details looking at scarlet accessories She has this black crossbow and this is meant to be a callback to the crossbow on that 1982 figure there is no bolt on that crossbow, but there is a lot of detail. This is a two-piece Accessory it does come apart It's not a bad accessory and doing it as a two-piece allows them to do a bit more with it But these two pieces don't always fit together and stay together very well scarlet version one included only one accessory So the rest of these accessories are new for the classified figure in the package She is wearing a belt with a pouch on one side and she has this Bandolier which has on the back a backpack with bolts for the crossbow These bolts are not removable now the bandolier and the belt could be removed with some effort In addition to the belts and the straps she has three knives One of them is on the bandolier in this sheath with a red paint application that knife is Removable it fits in pretty tightly, but it can be removed and it is a simple black knife on the backpack There are two additional knives they fit in this slot at the top here and they can be removed like the other knife They do fit in pretty tightly, but they can be removed They are larger and slightly more elaborate than the small knife on the front of the bandolier and that's it for accessories This belt is very loose and will turn around on you This bandolier should fit just like this right across her chest But it very easily slips out of place and kind of wraps around her neck as far as articulation She has her head on a ball joint so good range of motion there But she has this ponytail which kind of interferes with this backpack and does limit her head motion a bit Her arms move up at the shoulder on the left shoulder She has this armor piece, but that doesn't necessarily interfere with movement at the shoulder Swivel at the shoulder all the way around She has a swivel at the bicep and she has single jointed elbows That's a bit of a disappointment most classified figures have double jointed elbows the lady j figure We've already looked at had more articulation than this She has a swivel at both wrists and on the right wrist She also has an up and down hinge. She has a cut at the rib cage Which allows for some movement at the torso and an ab crunch It's not the greatest range of motion But I do like that the design kind of hides that articulation point The chest armor ends right at that cut so that articulation point is kind of disguised and I like that a lot She has a swivel at the belt cut She has a leg split that is not the best that we've seen Her leg movement at the hip forward and backward is a little squishy She has a swivel at the thigh cut. She has double jointed knees She has a swivel at the boot cut and she has hinged and rocker ankles looking at the design of the figure Well, it does look like scarlet back in 1982 scarlet had short bright red hair They just didn't have the means of giving scarlet long hair back in 82 But in the gijo animated series and the comic book she had long hair So this update on the classified series is a good update on her face. It looks like she has freckles I don't know that those are coming out on the camera, but yeah a red head with freckles. She also has earrings That's a nice tiny detail She has a blue uniform undershirt and over that she has chest armor and that chest armor has Gold and yellow and looks like kind of a metallic pewter color And she also has that red shoulder detail that's from the first version of scarlet She also has this blue communication device that we saw on other early classified series figures Her arms have that blue uniform color. She has yellow elbow pads She has this additional armor piece on her left shoulder this red with a white star right in the center She has forearm armor with gold and yellow and on the left forearm She has these silver three prong throwing stars her waist piece would be rather plain if not for that belt That's in gray plastic that gray continues down to the legs and she has red stripes on the outside upper legs She has yellow gold and blue knee pads She has yellow gold red and blue shin armor and she has some very high tech boots Are those Jets does she have jet boots? There are a ton of colors on these boots. There's black yellow blue red Gold lots of effort on these boots. Well, that's scarlet It may be unfair to compare this figure to later classified figures The figures did get more elaborate with better accessories and this was in the very early stages of the line I just feel like this figure needs something the accessories are okay, but a little underwhelming I mean three knives are not very impressive Especially considering all the amazing accessories included with lady jay some fans have commented about her blank expression And I think you do have to be careful about having overly expressive faces But her face is rather blank and mannequin like still I would prefer this over an expressive face That hair color is a bit soft and orangey, but that's okay with me. I can live with that It's the pony tail. This should be a good detail and I'm glad she has it But man, it really does run into that backpack and limit her head movement That was my review of classified series scarlet not the best classified figure, but not necessarily the worst This was very early in the classified series and the series has evolved quite a lot since then If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up on youtube and subscribe to the youtube channel for more gi jo classified series And vintage gi jo toy reviews, you can find me on social media on facebook and twitter and I have a website HCC788.com I can only continue doing these videos with the support of my friends on patreon If you'd like to support the channel, that's a great way to do it I'll be back soon with more gi jo classified and vintage gi jo toy reviews I will see you then and until then remember only gi jo is gi jo


Hello, I'm here to encourage you to come and see my talk on threshold delineary homomorphic encryption on Z over 2 to the kz. So this is joint work with Guillem Guestagnos and Fabien Lagume. So in this work, as suggests the title, we provide the first threshold delineary homomorphic encryption scheme whose message space is Z over 2 to the kz for any positive integral k. Now, a threshold public key encryption protocol is a public key system where the private key is distributed among n different servers. It offers high security since no single server is interested to perform the decryption in its entirety. And it's also the core component of many multi-party computation protocols which involve mutually distrusting parties with common goals. So thresholds public key encryption protocols are even more useful when they are homomorphic. This means that public operations on ciphertexts translate to operations on the underlying plaintexts. In particular, at EuroCrypt 2001, Kramer, Damgard, and Nielsen provided a new approach to multi-party computation from linearly homomorphic threshold encryption schemes. In parallel, there's also been a recent interest in developing multi-party computations modulo 2 to the k for a certain integral k. This choice is driven by the fact that modern CPU computations are performed in such a ring. Hence, if the multi-party computation protocol performs computations modulo 2 to the k, protocol designers can directly apply optimizations that are often expensive to emulate if a different modulus is used. So multi-party computation would benefit from an encryption scheme with such a message space that supports distributed decryption. And this is exactly what we have developed in this work. A threshold linearly homomorphic encryption scheme whose message space is z over 2 to the kz for any k. Our construction uses class groups of imaginary quadratic fields, like the encryption schemes modulo an odd prime q of Guestagnos and Legumi from CTRSA 2015. However, as is often the case in number theory, moving from an odd prime q to 2 or to 2 to the k is not an easy task. And as we'll see in my talk, plugging the modulus to be 2 to the k in their framework doesn't work. And so if you come to my talk, you will find out how we overcome this challenge, how we managed to realize for the first time a public key encryption scheme with all three of these properties. I hope to see you next Tuesday. Goodbye.


Land in antiquity has been a great problem facing farmers all over the world. However, with the emergence of new farming methods and technological innovations, farmers in the livestock sector can now produce fodder for their animals, requiring no land to till. Here is how. Of growing plants without the use of soil, this technology is old as history and was used in famous hanging gardens of Babylon for komashu purposes to feed livestock. It started in 1960s in Australia and has spread to the rest of the world ever since. This is done by physically feeding their plants with water that not only ensures the germination and growth of quality plants, but also greatly increase the speed at which they germinate. This method of farming is mainly used in the livestock rearing as Mahindra Shal the director of Liwe Commodities Limited puts it. He says the system suits best farmers who do not have enough land for production of livestock feeds. This hydroponic machine is a fodder manufacturing machine from Maze and it's an innovative thing that reduces the requirement of land and give nutritious food to our livestock and in particular cows, goats and pigs. In addition, the system is more viable as compared to land giving 10 to 15 per cent milk production while it uses low power consumption and 200 to 300 litres of water therefore giving value addition to milk production. This machine has got only single phase connection which is normally a fridge would take so it is a single phase power consuming around 6 to 8 units per day 24 hours and particularly with this unit the smallest size in our series consumes only 250 to 300 litres of water. With this machine not only we get green fodder which is very nutritious for the livestock particularly cows it had but it's give value addition in milk production up to 10 to 15 per cent milk produced by them will be extra. Manan Patel, the Managing Director of the Lewis Commodities Limited says the basic principle of this method is to maintain the atmosphere of the seeds so that the fodder may achieve optimum growth. Basically this is a hydroponic technology. The basic principle is to maintaining the atmosphere such that it can get the optimum growth of the fodder. What we are we are controlling inside is temperature humidity and water that we are controlling inside the cabinet and the cabin is a 60 mm thickness insulated where it cannot differentiate the temperature from outside and inside it can maintain the temperature continuously maintain the temperature inside. To get the desired product the maize seed which is most suitable as compared to within this technology is soaked 6 to 8 hours to achieve germination rate of 80 per cent. Yeah first day it's like you have to take the maize like local one where you can get it everywhere don't need to any like certified seed you require it's a local seed required whereas the germination rate has to be more than 80 percent that is the main requirement of this unit and what you have to first you have to soak the seed for almost 6 to 8 hours and you have to put it inside the unit on first day. Second day you you have to shift that tray on the next level of the rack and every day you have to do it like this after after seven day complete on eight day you have to remove the fodder from the bottom of the rack and take the fodder out and just clean that tray and put once again that seed and put it inside the unit that is what you have to do we can save for one person it will take hardly two to three hours for this shifting of tray and the cleaning of the unit. The machine used in this system does not require any advanced skill to operate since it's a complete automatic system making it easier to be operated by any farmer however during the installation time farmers are trained on basic operational systems it is you don't have to require any technician it's a completely automatic system whatever is there it's automatically turning on and off it's you just require any person it's a we can say lemon person it can be managed easily any farmer can be managed easily see at the time of installation we generally we train them what to do or want not to do it is every part is local made even any farmer can maintain that unit maintain we can say maintenance is we cannot say zero but it's very low Patricia Lukas who is the manager of the newest commodity is limited alludes confidence that if the farmers embrace this new technology we shall have more production in the livestock sector hence boosting our economy yeah you see most of the parts of Kenya we have this problem of the droughts so we are sure if this machines uh if most of the farmers bring this machines into the country we'll be able to get the fodder so by that you're going to improve the country's economy much in Durango a farmer from neary county sees he engaged himself with the troponic system because Kenya is plagued by a low production of fodder uh the reason as to why i engage myself in hydroponics is because in Kenya there is a big challenge of fodder uh shortage of fodder and through hydroponics production of fodder through hydroponics you are guaranteed of a constant supply of fodder uh we have a fodder supply all throughout the year he finds the method very economical since it's a soulless system where you only need hydroponic units is a soulless technology and through this we just have all you need it to have mature seeds seeds that have matured those seeds are the ones that you use and put in a hydroponics unit that they will germinate and the only thing that they need in that unit is only moisture so you just need water and the seeds and that's all and after seven days you are able to harvest the the fodder Martin adds that the system translates to more milk production as compared to the conventional way since there's reduced cost of production and calls on all livestock farmers to embrace this technology i find it is quite economical when i try and look at it when i used to do it in the conventional way of growing fodder through hydroponics it's easy it's not labor intensive and uh it's quite cheap and it takes a shorter period of time so one thing that it takes care about is when you look at the scarcity of land in our country for dairy farmers that is one of the biggest challenges so you are able to produce a lot of fodder whereby you don't have that big huge chunk of land so that is one of the biggest advantages that i have found in hydroponic actually what i would tell young people who want to engage in dairy farming or generally practicing agriculture there are so many opportunities in agriculture and dairy farming is one of them when you employ new technologies like hydroponics it becomes even much easier and you're able to make a lot of money with no with uh with no much effort or with no much labor hydroponics technology can be adopted using locally available materials to control temperature there by making hydroponic forming a reality a farmer can construct a three meter by four meter house unit which can support to feed dairy cows interestingly the amount of fodder from this unit is equivalent to two acres of napier grass dereva hilawi for i-254 news there you have it soil is farming all the way for your farm or farming produce and livestock coming up next is waimashawiki i'll be seeing you again next week on monday until then have yourself a very good night and wonderful week ahead good bye


Je veux remercier les organisateurs de cette conférence de m'avoir invité à parler. C'est un immense plaisir de parler en honneur de Luc et de Lusie, qui a été toujours pour moi une figure grand paternelle. D'un voyant, c'est un peu intimidant. Donc, l'ambition de l'English, ça s'est passé, je n'ai pas de résultats récents. C'est-à-dire qu'il y a de l'intérêt. Donc, j'ai décidé de parler de quelque chose de personnel qui m'a élevé pour moi-même. Ce qui peut être vu, c'est quelque chose d'exercice dans l'élusile classique, dans l'azubergeometry, dans l'oxylongole. Mais j'espère que c'est quelque chose d'exercice. Ça peut être... Donc, j'ai envie de parler des bandons d'exercice. J'aimerais vous présenter, si vous avez une nouvelle présentation de l'exercice de l'élusile classique avec des bandons d'exercice. Donc, j'ai... J'ai une motivation. Il y a deux formes. L'une est... L'une est... Quand j'étudie l'art space, l'art space de l'azubergeometry, quand je fais la calculation, c'est-à-dire que j'ai besoin de choisir les coordonnées pour qu'on puisse trivialiser les bandons d'art. L'art space a des bandons sur les variétés base. Et vous voulez vraiment trivialiser les bandons, pour faire la calculation. J'ai envie de comprendre quelles sont les structures, les structures de l'intersec qui permettent d'utiliser les trivialisations pour faire la calculation des bandons d'art. Donc, la deuxième motivation est complètement différente. Ça vient de mon travaillant sur la vibration de des variétés basées et dans ce travail, j'ai eu des rencontres avec Bougoumoulouf qui parlent des formes symétriques. J'ai eu le temps de comprendre ce qu'il signifie par les formes symétriques. J'ai essayé de défendre les formes symétriques. J'ai essayé de défendre les formes symétriques. C'est la motivation. Mais nous allons commencer avec une définition très basée. J'ai travaillé avec K qui est un sens de caractéristique 0. Quelques places peuvent être des caractéristiques, mais je ne veux pas être complémenté par ce problème. J'ai commencé à regarder le catégorie d'Arctinium K qui est le catégorie local d'Arctinium K qui est un sens résiduel de K. J'ai K, J'ai K et d'Arctinium K de la maximale idée. Maintenant, quand X est une variété de variété majoritaires de K, il y a de la définition de l'Arctinium. Et pour chaque Arctinium K N, l'Arctinium K puis on peut défendre le JRX qui est le foncteur sur le T-angébres. Pour le T-angébres A, c'est le T-exe, A-KR. C'est une restriction de X de R à K. Mais parce que j'ai cette map de R à K, c'est des fibres de X. C'est un bundle de X, parce que j'ai la map de X à A, par la map de R à K. JRX à X, c'est le jet bundle. C'est un cas de très familial, c'est la r1, c'est le rang de douleur des douleurs. JR1 est un jeu de tangent en X à O, Mais en général, donc quand l'axe est smooth, alors jRx sur l'axe est smooth. Et il y a des types de 5 bundles, mais ce n'est pas un bundle vector. Il n'y a aucun moyen d'adresser deux différents objectifs, si vous êtes dans le cas de R1. Mais en tout cas, il y a une calculation familiale dans la théorie de formation. Quand vous avez R, vous avez un objectif nocturne et vous avez un idéal, une dimension idéale. C'est une dimension idéale pour choisir la base pour identifier cet idéal. Ce type de R est un type d'axe et un R. Vous avez un Rx et un Rx primaire. Quand l'axe est smooth, c'est un objectif, c'est smooth. Et c'est une calculation de formation théorie que c'est un objectif sous le bundle tangent. Quand vous avez deux points de JR, deux jets, c'est le même objectif. Et la différence est un objectif sous le bundle tangent. C'est une calculation de formation théorie que vous savez. C'est le premier factif que vous allez utiliser. Je veux qu'il y ait des questions. Je veux aussi vraiment explorer les structures de l'ingénie actinienne. Quand vous avez un R1 et un R2, deux ingénie actinienne, vous pouvez définir qu'il y a des casques. C'est le roulage de l'ingénie actinienne du R1 et du R2 consistant d'un élément qui se met entre les mêmes ingénieurs. Vous avez vu que le roulage est un enjeu local. C'est un mod de mod M1. C'est le même que le mod de mod M2 qui est un enjeu dans le catégorie de l'ingénie actinienne du local de l'ingénie actinienne. Vous avez un r1 et un R2 de l'ingénie actinienne. Vous pouvez utiliser les produits de l'ingénie actinienne du R1 et du R2 en x. Si le r1 est un R2 dans le r1 des r1 et un R2 est le de l'ingénie actinienne du R1 du R1 T2, T2 square. Et en ce cas, le Jfq2x est un bandon tendant à produire un bandon tendant avec itself en X. C'est la première structure. La seconde structure est de toute façon plus intéressante. Quand vous regardez le R1, la tendance est en R2. Et ensuite, vous pouvez voir que le Jfr1, le temps de payage de R2, est le Jr1 à la jette de la jette. Et donc, nous avons deux différents idomorphismes. Ce qui est le Jr2, le Jr1. Donc, nous commençons avec plus d'intéressions. Alors, quand vous... Donc, j'ai trouvé le plus intéressant objet de cette histoire. C'est ce rang de Rn, qui est le R1, le temps de payage de Rn. Donc, ce que vous avez, c'est le temps de T1, T2, Tn. Ce n'est pas de la square du maximum d'idômes, mais seulement de T1 square, T2 square, Tn square. Donc, c'est le rang de dimension 2 à la jette. Et puis, quand vous regardez ce Jfrn, le temps de payage, c'est le temps de la tendance, le temps de payage. Donc, le temps de Tn. Et autre chose que vous pouvez observer, c'est que dans le rang de Rn, vous avez toute cette action des groupes symétriques. Mais aurait-être qu'il y a des祭res d'induction, ce sont du rang d'induction, c'est le rang de la jeteur, ce sont des confinements pas qu'il y a, et d'autres, c'est du rang de la jeteur. Et d'autres, c'est d'autres, c'est des confinements, d'un facteur infactuel, d'un facteur possible d'identification. Par exemple, un autre point, les tangents square of X ont une option naturelle de S2. Donc, c'est l'observateur qu'on va vraiment utiliser dans le long de cet état. Mais maintenant, let's look at the action of the just kind of very elementary algebra. I look at the action of Sn over Rn and I claim that if I if I know Sn is this actinian ring kU mod U to the n plus 1. So this is the ring that is that is the Eugengeski so to speak. So we have the that is the Eugengeski so J of N X is the the Eugengeski so J of Sn of X and the kind of the fact is that Sn is isomorphic with the fixed point of Sn on Rn. But here I really had to use the characteristic of K is 0. So this kind of curious fact is going by just map U into T1 plus Tn. Of course, because you want something that is invariant and if you do the formula then you what you said you and we're going to map to n factorial of T1 Tn. So we better to have a calculation K to not 0 to be 0 to not to be have point with Rn factorials. So in generally without this condition that you can as any count is P with a calculated divided power. So we can develop by replacing the Eugengeski by the Gerski with a calculated divided power but I'm not going to do this. I just stick myself to count this 0 case. And so by functorialities of the Gerski you can identify Jn just as a JSN of X. So the Eugengeski with the fixed point of of Jrn of X SN. So the Eugengeski that is the on the map from this KU divided by Un plus spectrum of this SN into X can be identified with SN fixed point in the range of space. This is one of the first observations I will use it to do some to do the construct of the formal flow this is going to happen to leave some kind of nice algebraic construction of the formal flow. So in the elementary differential geometry when you have a vector field then the pica theory is going to associate with some flows whose tangent vectors is your given vector fields but now I want to do it on the 400 vectorities and you cannot have what you can have is the formal flows. Okay, so let's try to work out the formal flow so it is actually quite so you have the Jn of X it is to an arc space which is the J of SN of X and as SN can put into when you take the limit of SN then you get the ring of the formal series so as a reason you have the limit of Jn of X in the J infinite of X so are the X point values in the space X point is value in the formal series and this is the even arc space alright, so what I want to to construct a canonical map on the section of the tangent mandons to the section of the arc mandons so I claim that it is such a map so the map is this so when you have when you have a map from X to the tangent of X this is the vector fin V then by functoriality of the tangent mandon you can go again of T of V to T square of X and so on on the way to Tn of X and this is Tn minus 1 of V and I call V to the N it's kind of differential stress in N time by the same vector fins it's the Tn minus 1 the composition of all this so when you look at differential operators you really just the composition N times the same vector fins and this V of N is the section of X into J of R N of X which is the tangent N X 10 times and moreover this thing is symmetrical it is some kind of direct calculation that can V N is fixed under the action of S N so V N is actually a section of the of the use of that scheme and then they are compatible that is give right to V infinity's section of of your arcs so this means that every time you have a vector fins you can glue them together to have really an arc at every point of rights so this is the first you know the first use of this formalism and just scheme to reinterpret things so the next thing I want to talk about is a fight connection a fight connection can also be interpreted very nicely in this language of jet bundles I just need actually here I need arc 2 which is so the tensor twice of the new one numbers so I have K of T1 T2 divided by T1 square T2 square I also have this Q2 so the arc 2 is R1 tensor with itself I also have EOK yes yes and I have Q2 which is the sum of R1 plus itself et now I have K of T1 T2 divided by the maximal ideal so this is portion of this T1 square T2 square T1 T2 so as a result I have this diagram so this is J of arc 2 of X and it map to J of Q2 of H which is nothing but the tangent bundle time itself we have two maps with two tangent bundles and think map to X so I have two different map P1 and P2 and this is PR1 which is PR2 and I have involution the obvious involution nothing on both Q2 and R2 so this let's go on this tau of Q and this tau of R so let's remember as I already mentioned JR2 of X is not a vector bundle of X however it is a tangent bundle of a tangent bundle so both P1 and P2 are vector bundles so you can add fibers and also the map from JR2 of X to J of Q2 of X so this is this critical map this is this one let me change the color this one this one is not a vector bundle but it is a torsos this is a tangent torsos so here really you have to use X is smooth otherwise the fiber can be empty right so here the fibers is not empty if X is smooth so so so this is kind of the structure on the number 2 you have kind of complicated structures so we have a tangent space cell product with cells and then we have a tangent bundle torsos over it right and if you look at carefully what you get here is actually this give right to a bi-extension of Tx times X by Tx it is exactly the bi-extension on the axiom that you need to to require here it is the axiom of the bi-extension alright and also you can also remark that the bracket of vector fin can be very nice in this diagram for instance if you have let me change the color otherwise become too complicated diagram so if you have 2 vector fin say I have v1 here and let me draw v2 on this side then my functorerity have a tangent v1 v2 on this side and tangent v1 on this side so when you go on one way and go to the other and somehow you have to switch by the evolution to make sure you map to the same point then you map to the same point the tangent the tangent of itself so as a result the difference is now is now a vector fin so let me write now the reinterpretation of the reinterpretation of the reinterpretation of the of the of the bracket of vector fin in this this is the tau tau dv2 dv1 dv1 bracket v2 so this kind of line you can define directly by geometrically the bracket without using the how it act on function so this is the first remark I think the secret of the remark is a bit more important if you look at how you can define a connection you see that a five connections so connection of this vector you know tangent bandons is exactly the same as the trivialization of the both of the by extension that mean you have to give yourself a section a section of this map that respect all the structures that you can require this is what has been admitted when you are over one TX but to other TX also and when you check the formula that really give you when you have this and look at this type small game which composing vector fin then you get the how you can have a word to derive one vector fin respect to the other because you have this type of section to do it this is really exactly the same how to arrest man defy connection but you have to carefully want to be additive on both variables and that mean you require that this trivialization to be by extension and the other remark which is if I really nice but in difference in geometry there is this concept that I don't have time to understand which is the toxin free toxin free of fire connection so there is some new in the theorem le vichimita theorem is required of fire connection to be to be compatible with the demand form and also be toxin free and in this language toxin free just mean it is symmetric and that mean the the section had to be compatible with its evolution so so that be that is the same symmetric trivialization of the by extension and for this you can see that you know if you want to actually to be smooth if you want to have this map to be to be subjective and and you can also see that the there plenty of diamond axis of fire existent of fire symmetric of fire connection of fire connection when x is smooth and the fire because the old structure will just believe in some H1 of x from in some quality so it doesn't have H1 alright so the next thing I want to say that in this in the you have now the the construction of what the you call the zero music in the in different geometries in this context and that mean if you have if you give yourself a symmetric of fire connection so in different geometry you start having a metric and then there is nothing that minimise distance but but you can formulate in pure language by saying that if you have a symmetric of fire connection then that give rise a canonical map from the tangent bandons into the jet bandons so not just a spray of section but really a morphism from the tangent bandon to infinity so how you can do this so the fire connection the symmetric of fire connection so what it does is to allow you to write the t square of x into tx time x time tx time tx 3 times so instead of having a tx torser over tx time tx the symmetric of fire connection allow it to to to align t square of x but the thing that you have to remember that these 3 copies of tx do not play the same roles you should have the the first one on the map with tx and the third coordinate is the trivialization of the torches and of course you can, while you have this you can just keep repeating t square of x and because you have the first formula you can just develop it completely into the many copies of tx and if you do so what you get is tnx it's just a product of many copies of tx over x but now the point had to figure out this is indexed by the subset so i is a subset of 1 2n so non empty subset and obviously you have option of symmetric group on this side and on this side just acting by permuting your subset of 1 2n so now when you have this kind of completely you can split tnx you can have a map from tx to tx to tnx by this side that when you have a a tangent vector you just map it to v and copies for the i of 1 and just put 0 a v l s y for i for the subset of list 2 so that is how you have this kind of so that give you a map from tx which is obviously symmetric so this is fixed under sn so this give you a map from tx t snx and to the limit by going to the limit you have your map from your tangent bandon into the arc space so j infinity of x so basically I give you a what every vector not a vector field just a tangent vector then you can you can have an arc a formal arc but if the geode is a formal arc alright so this is the how we can interpret the geodesic you know the formal flows you can interpret a five connections and you can interpret geodesic in this term of jet bandons so now I want to you know to do some to go to approach this question what do you mean by differential of a symmetric form which is not clear at all look at he had some definition of closed symmetric differential form but I just cannot get why he call it closed so I try to at least try to define what is a differential of symmetric forms okay so you can have you can see the omega one so the sheet of one form you can be see as algebraic function from the tangent bandon to A1 which is GM equivalent regime GM up on the fiber of a tangent and up on my scalar to one and so you want to what I try to code I don't know if anybody have studied this kind of strange things but I code cubicle cubicle differential forms omega nx is going to be function on the jet bandon nx into A1 which is GM to the end equivalent so we see rn is this 2 to the n dimensional ring and you have all this action of GM to the end by scaling individually the coordinate to the end and you also have action of GM to the end on the A1 by the product this is this makes sense when you differentiate when you have f a function of tn to the x to A1 which belong to omega rn of x omega rnx then df which is a tangent of 10 nx to A1 will belong to the omega rn which was so this equivalent condition is simply the y1 to have to be the differentiation so but again all kind of the difficulty you just have many way to identify rn with the tn of x so you have some kind of simplification structure you have the different map from one you have you just have many map from ok, let me you have look at the map from one to so strictly increasing map and so you call this thing maybe then by i the one that missed that missed the i in its larger set so for every i you have you have a map from you have a map from d i d rn i from omega rnx differentiation into omega rn plus one of x and obviously you can form the unified d of rn is going to be d rn0 minus d1 rn plus etc and in that way you just have another complex of cubic forms from all x of omega r1 of x, we see just using omega r1 but then have omega l2 x etc which look like complex but which is way larger excuse me i know i have questions it could be better to write 0 n minus 1 to 0 n and then the user convention and it's implicit object because you have d0 minus d1 and d0 misses 0 but 0 is not there ok yes yeah i'm sorry hope we can make it change size some part ok so what is very nice is this again you have action of symmetric group so s2 of omega r2 and sn of omega rn and this is very complicated but it's in the coherent shift so omega rn of x a coherent shift over x which is again the point that is kind of so you can use if you now locally so locally for zhagis ketopology of x where you have these of five connections symmetric of five connections so that you can trivialize your on your jet bandons then then you can do some kind of you know, calculation some you can do calculation to try to write down what exactly this omega rn x is which is a bit complicated but it's not very much difficult then what you get in this I just write the result I don't want to bother you with the calculation so you have a direction over on part or the way that you can partition so i you can i2im is a partition of the set 1,2n and then for each partition you have this sigma of i is kind of the subgroup of sn which is normalized normalized the partition that means you can allow your permutation to permute also the partition so and then with this you can have this induce from sn to si into sn of omega 1 of x to the m so it's not very sympathetic because you know I have a number of partitions so it's a bit too big to be interesting somehow but at least what is really nice it is so because you have the action of symmetric group after all this omega of rnfx if you look at the the sign the part when symmetric group part by the sign so look at the direct factor rnfx let me go in minus where snf by the sign representation then by this formula just by this formula you can prove that you can prove that this is the usual differential forms so the the point that when you look at this formula the is very complicated but on the factors can have a lot of symmetric forms and very few alternative forms so there's only one alternative form just one of the factors which is omega nfx it's a very meta exercise with the patient symmetric groups and so from this you can see that the usual and also you can see that the your d from omega rnfx to omega rm plus 1 after you map the minus part to the minus part and so the the round complex the usual round complex is a direct factors of this of this of this cubicle complex so I really don't know what this cubicle complex is but at least the one part on the other side have plenty of symmetric forms so it seem to start to be in answer at least some kind of approach the question how to define a differential of symmetric forms so let so now let's try to figure out what is the symmetric part so of omega rm plus of x so where sn are trivoli just by the same the composition you can see that the cmn of omega 1 of x there is a kind of equal map is a direct factor of this so definitely then you can really define what is the difference of a symmetric form so there you can see the definition because this cmn is a direct factor of this but this one is a sub of this it's a sub from sub back door but this is just way bigger you can compute it then when n1 to 2 what you get is a sim2 a sim2 of omega 1 of x map to omega r2 plus of x and map to omega 1 of x so the the symmetric part of the cubicle complex is an extension of omega 1 by the sim2 of omega 1 and this look familiar because this is the same form as the p2 p2 is two principle part a single principle part we can define this principle part and you can prove in this in this case that this is the same so it would be really nice if this story continues but for n2 to 3 then this omega r3 just way bigger it's a bit bigger it's contain the p3 but there's another factor nn grows this is just really big I have no clue of what it is so at least from this analysis you can define a differential chemical differential of a symmetric differential forms but the image is something rather gigantic so I guess we have to project some factors and the projection is 0 that may correspond to the definition that I couldn't figure it out yet so I think I have to say about this I'm very sorry for this very elementary story but I think probably what I can and you can find something that may be of interest to look so that's it, thank you very much okay, any questions? comment? okay so I remember that a few years ago came also another approach for differential calculus but I don't remember exactly my souvenirs it's a little bit close, have you looked at this at their work? yes but it's different I think it's completely different I have a question what can we say part of the cohomology of some differential complex or do you have some explicit example? no I don't, I think it's interesting to learn to calculate but I don't know how to compute it does hope theory tell you something whether or not so I mean this notion of closeness you define is automatically for thinking exist most projective I mean I've got hope to connect this to hot theory but I know I'm not there yet this is the beginning of this topic I don't have so what kind of knowledge I mean what I can tell it just kind of similar population if you look at the differential of the two symmetric forms and it's just by formula it's the same at a costum sum that you have you to define the effect method associated to the Riemannian forms so it's a sign that this construction may be not meaningless but I really don't know what is exactly the relation with the connection in Riemannian geometry this is what you meant you meant to so you know you went in the proof of the I haven't I mean there is a connection but I haven't finished an exercise yet but at least in the proof of the Liberti Vita theorem and you start with with the symmetric forms second symmetric form then when the proof we make some kind of alternating sum of derivations and from that you can then you can derive the effect connection and this kind of alternating sum the costum sum exactly the derivation that I use here so what they call the Christoffel symbol in classical okay I just a remark about the last part n equals 2 reminds me of an unpublished note of Gaudendick who classified order 2 thickness of some of X in terms of such extensions I think I sent you his note thank you yes it's possible do you think it would be possible to classify thickness of order 3 etc. using your using this formalism yeah maybe but the kind of let's talk about order 3 because you know it contains the p3 but it contains some other things I just do not do that yes but in the classification maybe p3 is not enough so maybe this would be this would give the right formalism what do you think and also is there a relation with the bar construction some place big tens of products and then inside you find all these symmetric exterior etc and no idea so they simply should construction you know these are these are but I'm afraid we lost no hello I'm here but I just do not have an answer to your question no I am just okay there is a question from the audience it is is the exact sequence for symmetric power 3 symmetric exact sequence can it be written down I would read I don't remember but I don't remember it can tell you what it is that is a question from the audience any other questions if there is no further question thank you professor goh for his talk


The craft food company presents the Great Gildersleeve. I'm back! Well, it's the day before Christmas, and the Gildersleeve household is decked out merry and bright. In the living room, there's holly and mistletoe, and a Christmas tree glittering with tinsel, and upstairs... Well, who's that? Looks like old Saint Nick himself with his red coat and white whiskers. Let's take a closer look. Zeef! Well, it's our old friend the Great Gildersleeve. Oh, don't pull that belt so tight, Marjorie. All right, Uncle Moore. I've got to breathe, you know. That's better. And here's your cap. Here, let me put it on for you. That's all right. Hold still, Uncle. You don't want the tassel in your face. You can look in the mirror when I get through. I want to see what I look like.  I do? Uncle, don't fidget. Well, hurry up. Oh, all right. Go look at yourself. Zeef! Not bad. I wouldn't know myself behind these white whiskers. Is the coat fit all right in the back? Yes, Uncle. Yes, I look pretty good, am I, G? Yes, you look fine. Better than the Santa Claus of Hogan Brothers, huh? Yes. Let's see. Hey, I look good sideways, too.  I'm Santa Claus. It's all you, fellow. Oh, brother. You better take the costume off now and save it for tonight. Maybe you ought to wear it for a while, sort of get used to the character, huh? What an excuse. And guess you're right. I want to get it all wrinkled. As long as I got it on, might as well go down and show it to Bertie. As long as I got it on.  Yeah, I'll get in with Slade behind the reindeer and ride away. Giddy up! I'll give you careful. Come on, you reindeer. Giddy up, prancer and dancer. Come dunder, come blitzin'. No, Bertie, I just wanted to show you my costume. Oh! Boy, it looks fine, Mr. Gillespie. Glad you like it. Dr. Neatham asked me to play Santa Claus at his church tonight with the kids. That's nice. You sure fool me, Mr. Gillespie. If I didn't know it was you, I'd never have recognized you. Really? Yes, sir. You sure fool me with them whiskers and everything. And them boots.  Bertie, that's no pillow. Oh! Excuse me, Mr. Gillespie. That's all right. Guess I am getting a little stout. You feed me too well, Bertie. Oh, you want me to take the presents out of the closet now and put them under the tree? Please, Bertie. Gotta go down to Hogan Brothers and pick up Leroy's model airplane. Didn't you get that yet, Mr. Gillespie? Well, I haven't had time. But I'm going to get it right now. That airplane, that's all Leroy's been talking about. Yeah, I know. Model airplane, model airplane. Morning, noon and night. Yes, Bertie. That's all he talks about. Yes, sir. Sounds like Leroy. I'm going to get out of here before he starts asking me questions about that airplane. And see you later, Bertie. Santa Claus. That old spony had a pillow under there. And I guess I better establish some food controls around here. Come on in. Hi, Bertie. Hello, Leroy. And who's this little man? No, he's just a new kid. He said his Christmas tree was bigger than ours. It is bigger. Don't believe I ever saw him before. My name is Donald Robert White. I just moved here. Oh, a new friend. That's nice. He's an old friend of mine. He's just been hanging around here. He's a twerk. Oh, now, Leroy. He looks like a fine little boy. Donald, we got some nice cookies. Would you like one? Uh-uh. We got plenty of cookies at home. Nice and yours, all that. I told you he was a twerk. Well, if you change your mind, just come on out in the kitchen and ask for one.  You see that tree? It's bigger than yours. It is not. It is too. It almost touches the ceiling. Arts touches the ceiling. Must be a low ceiling. Big room. Uh, this is big. And we have a chauffeur and a butler. I bet I'm going to get more for Christmas than you are. I bet you're not. I bet I am. I'm going to get all kinds of things. So am I. I'm going to get a model airplane. So am I.  And my model airplane is going to be bigger than yours.  And I'm going to get a scooter, too. Beat it. And I think she's so smart. What do I care what he gets? Little twerk. That's a matter, my boy. No, that new kid was just over here. We're lagging about all the things he's going to get for Christmas. Oh. An air rifle, a scooter, a pony. Well, his folks are probably wealthy. Well, they are. They have a chauffeur and a butler. Oh, and you must remember, Leroy, that you're an old uncle, isn't it? Well, I don't want all those things. It could happen if he wants it. Just so I get my model airplane. That's all I want. Ah, yes. See you later, Leroy. Where'd you hide my airplane, Uncle? And that'd be telling. It was not up in the attic. I looked up there. It'll be under the tree tomorrow morning. Don't you worry. Sure, I'm not worried, Uncle. I know you won't let me down on Christmas. A little kid like me. Yeah, Carson. Or a toyland. Yeah, thank you. All these people wait a last minute to do their shopping. I like to fight my way over to the model airplanes. Excuse me. Excuse me, please. Madam, watch your elbow. Packed in here like tuna. Hot in here. Feel dizzy. Can't breathe. I'm going to faint. Guess I can't. No room to fall down. Made it. Just lean on the counter here a minute. Here's your package, Madam. Now, who's next? One at a time. One at a time. Please don't crowd. Clerk. What do you want, Madam? Clerk. Yes. I want to buy a model airplane. I'm sorry, they're all gone. Yes, Madam. What was it? Clerk. They can't be gone. Chemistry set, Madam. Right over here. Clerk. I've got to have one. I'm sorry, sir. Model airplanes are all gone. Sold the last one a few minutes ago. Clerk. You heard what he said, buddy. Get out of the way. Get somebody else a chance. I'll stand here as long as I want to. I'm a taxpayer. I surrender. Let me out of here. Pack of wolves. Lucky to get out of there alive. Now what am I going to do? No model airplane. But like tell me, Roy, you never forgive me. I wonder if that clerk was telling me the truth. But they got one around here someplace. Just too lazy to look. That's the trouble. What's that music? Santa Claus over there. A line of little kids waiting to see him. Say, he works here? Maybe I could get him to get me to... Sure. I'll just slip my $5 bill.  And I want a mama doll and a set of play dishes and a great big dollhouse. All right, my dear. And I just mentioned a tricycle. You might just mention one. Well, you just be a good little girl and we'll see. Thank you, Santa. Now the next little... Santa Claus. Yes? I'd like to talk to you. What about? Well, Christmas present.  But you just get in line and Santa Claus will take care of it. I don't want to get in line. I just want to talk... You have to wait your turn. Those are Santa's rules. But Santa Claus, this will only take a minute. I'll be a good little boy in mind, Santa. You won't get anything for Christmas. But you don't understand, Santa. I just wanted you to get me a model airplane. Model airplane? All right. You just write a note to Santa Claus, care of the North Pole. What? You gods, look, you can say that stuff for the kids. I want to buy one. Please, Mr. These children are waiting. Well, the clerk said they were all out of airplanes. I thought maybe you could have a look around and see if you could find one. I'm sorry. I can't leave here. Make it worth your while. Here's $5. Put that money away. You can't bribe me. What? I... In front of all those kids, too. Want them to lose their faith in Santa Claus? Of course not. I'm Santa Claus. Remember that. I know that. Kids all over the world love me. I didn't say they didn't love me. You were trying to slip me a $5 bill. I'm sorry, Santa. I didn't mean to say it. Say it. Little boy's listening to us. Well, you want to spoil this Christmas? Come on. Make it sound good. Well, sonny. Huh? So you want an electric train for Christmas? And what else do you want? What? Come on. Tell Santa what you want. Sonny. Oh. Well, I want a set of grounds and some toy soldiers and a Mickey Mouse watch. Well, you just mind your mama and papa and Santa Claus will see that you get there. Oh, goody. Thank you, Santa Claus. And hot at all.  Fine Christmas this is going to be. Am I going to ever face Leroy? Snowing again, too. Not a model airplane in the whole town. Now, I hope this chemistry's set in par, so I'll make him feel better. Don't. You can just see a little Leroy's face looking up at me. Tears in his eyes. Because his old uncle let him down. Merry Christmas, Mr. Gildy Sleeves. Merry Christmas. What's merry about it? Like feeder crawls. Probably catch pneumonia. Serves me right. Anybody who would disappoint a little boy at Christmas is a scrooge. Gildy Sleeves. Stray dog.  I almost stepped on you. Cute little mutt. Kind of floppy. Get away now. Go on. Don't follow me. Go away. Now, here's the house. Might as well go in. Get this thing over with. Tell Leroy now. He's going to be broken hearted. You still here? No use looking at me like that. You can't come in here.  Go on now.  Hello, Leroy. What's in the packages? Leroy, I'd like to talk to you. What's the matter, Ronk? Leroy, maybe we better sit down. For corn's sake, what is it? Leroy. Yeah? There's something I want to tell you. You know, I promised you a model airplane for Christmas. Yeah, and you sure hit it good. I couldn't find it anywhere. My boy, I'm afraid you won't find it. What? I didn't get your model airplane. Oh, Leroy. You know that thing. I'm sorry, Leroy. I got you something else. I got you. Please, I'll just open the back door in any flue. Oh, that's the dog. Happy I am. Gilders leave, it's Christmas Eve.  Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle. He makes a jovial looking saint, Nick. As he picks up his sack of toys, throws them over his shoulder and starts down the stair. Oh, what fun it is to ride in one horse open sleigh. What's that? Who's Snowball? My dog. Well, quit crying. I'm sure he's around someplace. You come back. No, I won't let him. Donald, who's Donald? That new kid has been hanged at him. That little boy wouldn't take your dog, Leroy. A wealthy kid like him. He's got plenty of things to play with. I don't care. He stole him. Now, Leroy, we don't go around accusing people. Well, he did. That Snowball just sort of strayed away. He couldn't have gone very far. Why don't you go out and look for him? Will you help me look for him, Uncle? I can't, Leroy. I've got to play Santa Claus at the church pretty soon. Help me. But they'll be expecting me.  I'm a little kid. Leroy. You can find him yourself. You know I can't go running around the streets in this outfit. I'll never. I'll go help you look. Dad. Well, just for a few minutes. Come on now. Hold on here. Yeah. It's snowing harder, too. Oh, little dog. I can just see him lying in the snow somewhere. Oh, God, Leroy. He's probably warmer than we are. He's got fur. We've got to find him. We haven't started looking yet. Now, you go that way, and I'll go this way. We'll do this systematically, like the FBI. I can't. Snowball is probably sleeping under a nice warm stove someplace. Snowball. Snowball. That dog. I must have walked two miles. P.V. is still open. I think I'll drop in for a minute and get warm. Good evening, P.V. No, no. I think I'll just leave. Or should I say, Sandy Crosby. I'm giving out toys to the kids at the church tonight. No, if I may say so. Excellent criss-kringle. Thanks, P.V. And you've got the figure for it, too. Just a proper plumpness. Yes, P.V. You know, Mr. Gilles' leave looking at you brings back the question I used to ask myself when I was a boy. Well, what was that?  Well, I'm not going down any chimneys. I'm glad you hear that. What can I do for you this Christmas Eve? P.V., I'm looking for a dog. Well, drug stores carry a wide variety of merchandise these days, but I never heard of one of them selling dogs. Of course, it might be a new trend. I don't want to buy a dog, P.V. I'm looking for Leroy's dog. He's lost. Oh, sorry to hear that, Mr. Gilles' leave. They say a dog is man's best friend. Yes, sir. Of course, I wouldn't know myself if we have a cat. He isn't very friendly. When I come home at night, he spits at me. Hey, guys, all I want to know is, did you see anything look like a little dog around here? Well, I saw a little dog that looked like a dog. You did? What did it look like?  Well, yes. That's a fairly accurate description. That's the one, P.V., that snowball. Where'd he go? Well, I don't know. There was a little boy with him coming to get some candy. What?  I never saw him around here before. Leroy was right. That little boy took that dog. What's that, Mr. Galaxy? He stole it. He can't do this to Leroy. He's not going to get away with it. But, Mr. Galaxy, if you can't accuse him... You said yourself you saw him with the dog? Yes, but that doesn't... Why?  He ought to be put in jail. Well, no, I wouldn't say that. Well, I would. Mr. Galaxy, I don't like to say this, but that's no way for Santa Claus to talk about a little boy. Well, I'm not Santa Claus. You certainly are. Goodbye and a Merry Christmas. And Merry Christmas.    Well, I can sue his parents. They don't frighten me. Show for butt lirts.  It was just a stray dog, anyhow. My advice to you is to observe the spirit of Christmas and forget all about this. And you won't take the case? No, I won't. Well, you're no friend of mine. And you're no friend of mine. Oh! The commissioning. Well, are you the chief of police or aren't you? Yes, but you can't expect me to make an arrest on Christmas Eve. I don't care what it is. And with no evidence. P.V. saw him with the dog.  That doesn't make any difference. And you?  Aren't you ashamed of yourself? No, I'm not. The fine chief of police you are.  But, Commissioner. Never mind. I'll handle this myself. Hurry up, Leroy. Okay.  He's out with the big grey house down at the next corner. Well, we'll get that dog back, Leroy. Don't you worry. Sure, Ronk. I'll tell that boy's father a thing or two. So cat-hairy. And I'll show that kid, too. Little twerp. Sack of toys is getting heavy. So hurry up and get this over with so I can get down to the church. I'm late now. Well, this is the corner. See, this house can't be it. It's just a little place. He said I was on this corner. It must be some mistake. A wealthy family wouldn't live in a little house like that. Let's go in there. Maybe they can tell us where he does live. Yes? Oh, his Santa Claus. Well, just for tonight. I'm the water commissioner in town. It's Rockmoreton P. Yellowsleeve. I wonder if you could tell me... Won't you both come in? Yeah. Thank you. I'm looking for a little boy. I wonder if you could tell me where Donald White lives. Well, yes, he lives here. But he told Leroy that he lived... That he lived in a big house and had a chauffeur and a butler? Yeah. I'm afraid Donald has quite an imagination. He doesn't mean any harm. Oh, sure he doesn't. Are you his mother? No. No, he's my sister's boy.  Oh, I see. Oh, make him give me my dog. So he's staying here with you, eh? Yes. Things haven't been too good for them. And to make up for it, Donald has built an imaginary world of his own. That's why he tells all those stories. Then he isn't going to get all those things for Christmas? The scooter and a pony? No, I'm afraid not. I just have a few little things for him. I don't care. I want my dog. Funny how children think up all those things. Yes, it is. What was it you wanted to see Donald about? Well, you see, the dog... Oh, that's your dog. He brought it home this afternoon. I knew it belonged to someone in the neighborhood. Yes, my nephew's. Yeah, it's my dog. Oh, well, Donald said Santa Claus gave it to him. Said he could keep it. I was going to find out who it belonged to in the morning, but as long as you're here, you better take him. Well, uh... Right here in the bedroom. Oh, he's got the dog in bed with him. They're both asleep. Maybe we could come back tomorrow. Hank! Shh! Oh, well, be still. Donald? Oh, gee, Santa Claus, it's really you. Oh, thanks for the dog. Uh, Donald... I told her you gave it to me. But, uh... I told her, but she didn't believe me. Um, you know, Donald, Santa Claus has so much to do, he makes mistakes sometimes. What? And once in a while, he gets mixed up and gives a present to the wrong boy. Did you make a mistake, did you, Santa Claus? Well... I-I'm afraid he did, dear. Did you, Santa Claus? Well, you see... Donald, maybe next year he'll bring you and the dog. You gave the dog... Well, it looks like I did make a mistake, Donald. You see, the dog really belongs to... to... No! You didn't make a mistake, Santa Claus. Was I at Leigh Roy? It's Donald's dog. It is? Sure. I didn't want a dog in the first place. Then it's really mine? Sure. It's yours. Oh, gee. Uh, and Donald, I've got some toys for you in my sack. Here you are. A jumping jack and look atop Leigh Roy and the sack of marbles. Oh, thanks, Santa Claus. Merry Christmas, Donald. Merry Christmas. Thanks. Oh, thank you. Not at all. Well, Santa Claus has some more calls to make. Come on, Leigh Roy. My boy. Merry Christmas, everybody. Merry Christmas, Gilday. Nice of you all to drop over. Makes it a real Christmas day. I guess I don't deserve it the way I acted last night. You were just being your usual pig-headed South Gilday. Oh, look here, horse. Well, you were. Gentlemen, gentlemen, we may have our little arguments, but remember we're all friends. Yes, we're all true jolly boys, aren't we, Thore? Sure, Commiss. We gotta respect the Yuletide spirit. Let's have another drink of punch. Well, oh, Leigh Roy. Yes, Judge? There's a Christmas present for you out in the hall. Something special. Yeah, what is it? It's a model airplane. What? I knew your uncle would keep putting it off, so I picked it up yesterday afternoon. The last one. Oh. I was very thoughtful of you, Horace, old man. Thanks very much. It's all right, Gilday. You'll get the bill in the morning. Uncle, aren't we going to sing Christmas carols? Oh, carols. Oh, you're a good idea, Mindy.  Well, if you want me to, Mr. Gilday. That old English carol you sing at church every year. That's a lovely thing. All right, if you want me to. I'll play for you, Birdie. Okay. I think this would be the proper time for all of us to lift our voices in song. Now, may I suggest joining to the world? You may, Peavey. Come on, everybody. Joining to the world. Half of myself, the cast of the great Gildersleeve show, and our sponsor, the Kraft Foods Company, I'd like to add my heartfelt wish for a very joyous Christmas. May tomorrow's day of happiness and peace personify the happiness and peace that all the world is seeking.


Jeez, I'm knackered. Work smarter, not harder. Just clamp a level up there, you can just whack them in. We're up at three to take Alex the airport. Hello, it's nine o'clock. We're up at three to take Alex the airport. And I got back home at six, so I went back to bed. I'm knackered, so it's nine o'clock now. I've just arrived, just getting set up. I'm setting the mix up here. So I'll bring the sand to the mix, into the bucketing water. I can bring the sand up in a little bar. Just to try and make things a bit easier. I'm concentrating on this side today. Take this side as high as I can, and I'll swap over and do this side. So I'm just using one spot bolt there and one pile of bricks in one area. Just simplify things. Not bother how long it takes me, I'm just going to plod along. It gets done when it gets done. There's no rush. So yeah, she's getting her boots on.  So we're catching a bit, quarter to ten. I'd have just forgotten to start over here, but it's an effort just to get out of bed. So anyway, let's just quit moaning. We're set up. Mix is in, as you can see where I've put the mixer. I've found a nice little corner for it, so I can just put it straight on the board. I'll bring the sand up in the wheelbarrow, so I'm not carrying stuff. It's carrying weight. I'm putting weight on my leg that does it the worst of the wheelbarrow. Obviously it does all the weight for me. So doing out the mixer at the time, it just mixes quicker and easier, and I'm not going by a full mix then. So I just need to load out some brick over there with the trusty brick tongs. That's the regulars, we'll remember them. When you come on with the ones drying out, I've moved the van onto the road because I want to get those bricks dry. Now the sun's on, so they should dry out nice now. The blocks are still very wet, but I don't need to be moving them around too much. So yeah, profiles are up as well. They're at full height now. That's 2100, so they don't need to be moved again now. So that's it. Motor's on the board. I'm going to put the line up in a tick and then we're away. So off we go. Oh yeah, it's Quartz 10, haven't heard of Alex's landed yet. He should have landed by now, but we have a terrible signal here. No nothing yet. Let's crack on. Quickish lunch, quickish. This will work harder. Work smarter, not harder. Just clamp a level up there and just whack him in. Getting a bit high now.  I might have to lift it up, but yeah, this mix is nearly done. So I'm going to tip that out, get another half mixing, not breaking any records, just plodding along. Yeah, nothing else to put.  I've had to restack all the blocks as if work isn't hard enough. Moving gears twice. What's working nicely. There we go. Should have done the first thing, but this is just so I can get round it. I've even got the bag propped open a bit, trying to get this sand dried out a bit. Everything soaked right to the ground. Bricks are coming on nicely. So I'll be able to shift them. I'll move some of them. So yeah, just keep plodding. Just keep plodding. Quite literally. It's a little bit because it just gets a bit tedious. There you go. I've got, I think about 21 on there. Yeah, seven to go. 21 on there, seven to go. And it's getting a bit of a stretch. So instead of, I started flagging this time of day, so instead of setting up hops and stuff and that, I've swapped over to this side, swapped the odd level on the clamp and swapped the line over. So I'm going to just use this motor up on this side now. Hopefully I should get at least, at least eight or nine on it. We'll see. Hopefully not too many more because I want to go home. I don't want to be working late because I don't forget I've got a tidy up and everything put everything away soon. Clean up in here for myself. Clean all the snouts off, get all presentable, get all this joints undone. So I'm just talking. Let's get a crack on with it. Just in charge in the radio. Here we go. I've got it on there. Two and four, six, eight, ten, twelve. Twelve on that side. Two, four, six, eight, two, four, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven. Well, an extra one there because it dropped down. So call it eight. So twelve on that side, eight on this side. So that's one formix I've used up from running out on house.  Everything's covered over there. Blocks have dried out nicely in the wind. Bricks are getting there, but everything's covered on the top, but it's still open for the wind to get at them. It's still got bricks on the floor and then the rest are honeycombed. And so that bit's all sorted, all tidied. Sand's been put on the pallet, covered up. Brought spare sand in the van. So we're all set for tomorrow. So what I need to do now is just get this place spotless, joint it up, sponge it off and then get going. Well, actually go down that street there to have a look at a job. So yeah, that's what we're up to. Half three. So just get stuck in. So we're not leaving too late. I'm not leaving too late. I said to Alex in the car this morning, he said, um, she don't overdo it. I said, I won't do it. I said, I never finish after four o'clock when you're away. He went mad. Anyway, he's landed safe and everything. He's with me and it's cold and rainy, so we've been lucky today. Oh, let's shut up and carry on with it. Twinted and tidied, she's some knackered. Yeah, took the, took the visqueen off as well. Put the blocks, I was thinking, getting that's the front door now. Just put a piece of poly down for now. So yeah, not much to go on there now. A bit more on there, but go at it with the fresh pair of legs tomorrow. It's getting on for our four now and I just want to go home, but I've got to go and look at the job down there. It's supposed to go yesterday. Oh, there you go. I'll see you in the morning. Do the outro from home. I forgot to do it at work, so let me get to my, my black space. Yeah, so whatever job this was, I have no idea, but there it was. Thank you all very much for watching. If you enjoyed, be sure to give us a thumbs up.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 29th meeting in 2014 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. Can I welcome members? Welcome the minister of witnesses who I'll come to in a moment. I can remind everyone please to turn off or at least turn to silent all mobile phones and other electronic devices. We have some changes on the committee. First of all, I would like to pay tribute to the members who have departed on to higher things in some cases. I would like to congratulate Marco Piaggi on his appointment to government and thank him and the other members, Alison Johnson and Mike Mackenzie for their contribution to the committee over previous years. I would like to welcome three new members. Welcome or welcome back Patrick Harvie and welcome Gordon MacDonald and Richard Lyle to the committee, looking forward to working with you all. Item 2 on the agenda, I would ask the new members if they would declare any relevant interests. Start with Patrick Harvie. Thank you, convener. Nothing additional to the interests that are declared at the beginning of the current session of Parliament when I was previously a member of the committee and a member of several organisations that are likely to give evidence to the committee or which have an interest in energy and economy policy, including Friends of the Earth, Oxfam and the Poverty Alliance. I'm also a director of a company with charitable status, Gala Scotland Limited, which runs the Glasgow Arts Festival. It's an unremunirated post, but the organisation applies for small, I would say pitifully small grants that have a relationship to tourism policy. Gordon MacDonald, I've got no declarable interest. However, I would like to say that I'm a member of the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland. Richard Lyle, I refer members to my register of interests. I also wish to record, while I believe that there is no need to do so, that my son holds a senior position in a major investment bank involved in the oil and gas sector in Aberdeen. Thank you for that. Item 3 on agenda are members content that we take item 7 in private. Item 4 supporting legislation. We have to consider the Scottish Regulators strategic code of practice, SG2014-236. I'd like to welcome the minister. New title, Minister for Business, Energy and Tourism. Fragusun, new title, same face. Jo Brown joined this morning by Joe Brown, Head of Better Regulation and Industry Engagement and Sandra Reid, Better Regulation Policy Advisor at Scottish Government. Welcome to you all. Minister, do you want to introduce the code of practice? Yes, thank you convener for the opportunity to speak to the committee today about the Scottish Regulators strategic code of practice. As the committee is aware, provisions for the code come from the Regulatory Reform Scotland Act, which seeks to deliver proportionate and consistent regulation and promote in all regulators a broad and deep alignment with the Government's central purpose of increasing sustainable economic growth. A strong economy is essential to our success and we must provide the environment that allows business to succeed. The Scottish Regulators strategic code of practice, which has been laid before the Scottish Parliament, sets out a high-level strategic approach to encourage and support regulators in applying regulatory principles and building good practice in order to contribute to achieving sustainable economic growth while concurrently delivering other core functions. Underpinning the duty for regulators to contribute to achieving sustainable economic growth, the code will provide a clear line of sight between regulatory activity and the Scottish Government's purpose. It will also provide greater transparency, which is essential if we are to have consistency of delivery across all regulators. The code was developed with and by regulators in business and I acknowledge and value the contribution from members of the short-term working group. The draft code was subject to consultation to seek to ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of the regulator and the regulated. It builds on existing good practice and seeks to support and enabling approach to drive further performance improvements. It is important to recognise this when considering the DPLR committee's specific comments in paragraph 9, which I will come to shortly, as I have indicated to the committee informally earlier this morning. The code provides greater clarity to regulators as to what is expected of them and to business of what they can expect from regulators. In recognition of concerns raised during stage 1 scrutiny of the Regulatory Reform Bill, the code includes the Scottish Government's definition of sustainable economic growth. The approach set out in the code requires regulators to take a risk-based enabling approach to communicate clearly and effectively and to understand who they regulate. Given the wide range of regulators and regulatory activity covered by the code, it is purposely set at a strategic level. The code should be underpinned by regulator-specific guidance through which each regulator will provide greater detail required by their staff and stakeholders to reflect their own circumstances. However, having noted the concerns raised by the DPLR committee regarding the wording in paragraph 9, I am minded to take the views of Parliament fully into account. I will revisit the section of the code with the working group that helped to develop it. There is no need for a further formal consultation and, as such, convener, I would expect to come back with a revised form of wording relatively early in the new year. Delivering better regulation by carrying out regulatory functions in transparent, proportionate, accountable, consistent and targeted way alongside the duty to contribute to sustainable economic growth will play an important role in making Scotland a more successful country and providing a favourable business environment in which companies can grow and flourish. The code builds on our existing better regulation toolkit to deliver better and effective regulation and make Scotland a leading country in Europe in terms of better regulation and an attractive destination for business. To conclude, convener, I withdraw the motion, but I am happy to answer any questions that the committee has at this time. I might ask the minister about the comments that we received from the Scottish Council for Development and Industry. I do not know if you have seen their submission to the committee, but they have raised some concerns around innovation and specifically whether enough emphasis is being put on the need for regulators to work with individual businesses or organisations in order to help innovative and beneficial technologies and processes to comply. They are concerned that opportunities might be missed because of simple unfamiliarity with what might be new and innovative products or procedures. Is that something that you are able to look at when you take the code back? I am very happy to do that at your specific request, convener. I have got the submission in front of me now. It is fair to say that it is couched in high-level general terms. It does not seem to give specific examples of areas of innovation that have hitherto not been the subject of adequate proper consideration. To be fair to the regulators, I would say that at present, we expect that they generally behave in the way that we wish them to behave when the code comes into place and the act is being respected at present. We work with regulators rather than in conflict with regulators. Many of them are working extremely closely with us in areas of innovation such as renewable energy, for example, to achieve the Government's objectives but I will, at your request, take that point specifically away and revert to you when we bring back the revised code early in the new year. Good morning, minister. I note that you said that there is no need for further consultation. I accept that. Are you content that, with the timeframe that you have available to you, to go back with the working group and then to come back to the committee in the early part of the new year? Well, I am reasonably confident that that should be the case. Those on the working group include CEPA, SNH, local authorities, the FSA, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland, the Scottish Charity Regulator, the Fine Rescue Service, the Housing Regulator, the Accounting of Bankruptcy in Visit Scotland, so it is quite a comprehensive group of stakeholders. We will see what they have to say plainly, but given that the Delegated Powers Committee has focused on one specific aspect of this, I think that the focus will be narrow in scope and therefore we would hope to revert early in the new year on these matters. Good morning, minister. I was going to raise the issue about SDI as well in terms of individual businesses, but of course that has been preempted. Can I just get an observation? This is a circumstance that shows, despite what others may say, that the committee works as does its relationship with ministers. Seeing this today is an indicator of just exactly how the DLP has worked. We will work and the ministers will work. I think that everybody should recognise that with that willingness, the committee system working with the appropriate ministers is very effective and we should recognise that. I am not sure if that is a question for you, minister, or just a statement. No, it is a question and an observation. I am happy to agree with what Mr Brody has said. We do and have listened very carefully to the delegated powers and law reform committee's 67th report, session 4, in paragraphs 12 and 13 in particular. It was as a direct result of making this one narrow, specific criticism that I felt that the correct thing to do was, rather than fire ahead, regardless of what Parliament has said, to go away and give further thought to it carefully with the relevant stakeholders, which encompass a very wide range of Scottish society, and then to come back to the committee after having thought it through. The amount of time involved is relatively modest, but the value of the committee's contribution, as Mr Brody says, is substantial. If there are no other questions that members have, that will conclude item 4 on the agenda. Minister, as you previously indicated on item 5, you do not therefore intend to move the motion in your name. That therefore concludes item 5, and we will move to item 6, and I will suspend it for a moment to allow a change over of officials. I can reconvene item 6 on the agenda. We have a legislative consent motion in relation to the infrastructure bill. UK Parliament legislation is LCMS434.1, and joining the minister we have Joyce Whittock, who is the Heat Policy Manager and Suzanne Lamire, who is Head of Heat Policy at the Scottish Government. Welcome to you both. Minister, do you want to introduce this item? Well, I haven't got a formal opening statement to convener, but I can say, having prepared for the committee today, that the amendments to the infrastructure bill were added to the UK bill in the House of Lords, tabled on 29 October. Those will basically allow four things, which I can briefly summarise for the committee and then answer questions probably with the assistance of my officials. First, to enable the appointment of an alternative administrator to deliver the renewable heat incentive, along with the introduction of a new appeal mechanism. Secondly, the assignment of payments made under the RHI to a third party nominated by the owner of the renewable heat plant. Thirdly, to allow for some elements of existing secondary legislation to be changed using the negative resolution procedure. Fourthly, other minor technical changes necessary for the administration and delivery of the requirements under the RHI scheme. The Scottish Government is satisfied that there is merit in each of these four measures, and therefore, because that is the case, we believe that the LCM is required and is appropriate. Thank you minister. Members wish to ask questions on this. Mr Brodie? I mean, it won't necessarily affect the LCM, but just looking at the proposals under the RHI in terms of, first of all, an alternative administrator of the RHI along with the introduction of a new appeal mechanism, the appeal mechanism is still to be controlled by Ofgem, and yet we are likely to have an alternative administrator. Do you believe that in the consideration of this, you have looked at the actual possible conflict that might arise between the new administrator and Ofgem as the appeal forum? We don't think so. We believe that the new appeals mechanism will operate irrespective of any change that might be made to the administrator and will also allow the flexibility to modify those appeal processes that are currently managed by Ofgem. Are there any other questions from members? No. If not, can I ask members if we are content to recommend to Parliament that he gives his consent to the relevant provisions of the infrastructure bill that is set out in the LCM? We agree. Are members content to delegate to the convener and clerk the production of a short factual report detailing the committee's considerations and arranging for its publication? Thank you minister, and to you and your officials for coming along, and we'll have very short suspension and go into private session.

This paper examines the relationship between green investment and green economic growth in the European Union. The authors hypothesize that green investment will lead to increased green economic growth. To test their hypothesis, they use the Maunquist-Lewenberger Global Productivity Index to measure green economic growth. They also consider the resources available for the production process, the desired outcome, and undesired results of this process. Additionally, they apply the Tobit model to determine if there are any significant differences in green economic growth across different countries. Their findings show that green investment has a positive effect on green economic growth, but only when combined with certain conditions such as economic openness and efficient public governance. This article was authored by Alexei Kulinsky, Alexei Liliov, and Tatyana Pimenenko.


Following the path of devastation left by the western Kentucky tornado last Thursday, one local business owner is hoping to help by dressing up as the famous cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation movie. Several years ago I dressed up as cousin Eddie for Halloween party my sons were having. So one of my friends Saturday at the event with the ranch photos with the ranch said, how come we've never done cousin Eddie? So this was Saturday afternoon during the ranch with the photos with the grants and I said, well let's do it. And the tornado had just hit the day, the evening before. And so we said, well let's do something to coincide with that. So since Saturday we've got this magnificent cousin Eddie RV behind me. As part of the move to transition into the famous cousin Eddie, the Pike County Board of Education and Kentucky State Police post nine will be present accepting toy and cash donations. We've got the support of the State Police, Pike County Board of Education and the city of Co-Run. And it's just come together so sweet in four or five days that we're just overwhelmed. So we're hoping to have a good turnout. We're doing this rain or shine. People want to drive by. We're going to have a camera. We'll be taking photos. We'll post them on my store website and you can bring your phone. It's a time when everybody's going through so much right now and we just thought this would be such a fun way to reenact cousin Eddie for his vacation with his camper. And while Johnson says it's a fun way to reenact the character, he hopes to use the image to pay back to those within the state and his community. I've lived here all my life. So we've dealt with disasters, flooding and all that. We helped when there was tornadoes in Surreyville and West Liberty. So it's one of those pay it back, pay it forward type deals. We're paying back what they probably did for us. The donation event will be this Saturday, December 18th from 1 to 7 p.m. near Johnson's home and garden store. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korgel.
