Hello and welcome to this session. In this session, we are going to discuss, in this coefficient of RAM correlation, let the RAM assigned to N in the visual range from 1 to N, then the maximum possible score, that is the number of all possible combinations of the pairs of N individuals is given by Nc2, if capital S be the total score, that is the sum of the scores of all Nc2 pairs, then in this coefficient of RAM correlation, which is denoted by tau is given by total score by maximum possible score equal to S upon Nc2 and therefore can be written as S upon N into N minus 1 by 2 as Nc2 is equal to N into N minus 1 upon 2, therefore the kindle coefficient of RAM correlation denoted by tau is equal to twice of S upon N into N minus 1. Let us take an example, the marks obtained by 8 students in English and Hindi are given below, the marks in English are given as 56, 24, 45, 44, 36, 72, 70, 23 and the marks in Hindi are given as 62, 56, 74, 66, 87, 54, 81, 35, find in this coefficient of RAM correlation. Now let us find the ranks of 8 students in English and Hindi. Now we assign ranks from 1, 2, 3 and so on from the highest to the lowest. First we assign ranks to the marks in English and we assign rank 1 to 72, rank 2 to 70, rank 3 to 56, rank 4 to 45, rank 5 to 44, rank 6 to 36, rank 7 to 24 and rank 8 to 23. Similarly we assign ranks to the marks in Hindi and we assign rank 1 to 87, rank 2 to 81, rank 3 to 74, rank 4 to 66, rank 5 to 62, rank 6 to 56, rank 7 to 54 and rank 8 to 35. Now let us find S that is the total score and we found in two ways. In the post method we rewrite the ranks assigned to the students for English and represent the corresponding marks by A, B, C, D, E, S, G and H respectively. The total score of two pairs is done. Here we have rewritten the ranks assigned to the students for English and represent the corresponding marks by A, B, C, D, E, F, G and S respectively. Now we shall write the corresponding ranks assigned to the students for Hindi. Rank assigned to D in English is greater than that of A, therefore we assign the score of plus 1 to width. Similarly, rank assigned to D in Hindi is less than that of A, therefore we assign the score of minus 1 to width. So score of A, B will be equal to plus 1 into minus 1 that is minus 1. Rank assigned to C in English is greater than that of A, therefore we assign the score of plus 1 to width and rank assigned to C in Hindi is less than that of A, therefore we assign the score of minus 1 to width. So the score of A, B will be equal to plus 1 into minus 1 that is minus 1. Rank assigned to D in English is greater than that of A, therefore we assign the score of plus 1 to width and rank assigned to D in Hindi is less than that of A, therefore we assign the score of minus 1 to width. Therefore the score of A, B will be equal to plus 1 into minus 1 that is minus 1 and similarly the scores of A, E, A, F, A, G and A, F is equal to minus 1, minus 1, minus 1 and plus 1 respectively. The total score of minus 5, similarly the score of B, C is equal to plus 1, B, G is equal to plus 1, B, E is equal to plus 1, B, F is equal to minus 1, B, G is equal to plus 1 and B, H is equal to plus 1 with the total score of plus 4. The score of C, B is equal to minus 1, that of C, E is equal to minus 1, the score of C, F is equal to minus 1, the score of C, G is equal to plus 1 and the score of C, F is equal to plus 1 with the total score of minus 1. Similarly the score of D, E is equal to plus 1, G, F is equal to minus 1, B, G is equal to plus 1, B, H is equal to plus 1 with the total score of plus 2. This core of EF is equal to minus 1. This core of EG is equal to plus 1. And ES is equal to plus 1 with a total score of plus 1. This core of FG is equal to plus 1. This core of FS is equal to plus 1 with a total score of plus 2. And this core of GS is equal to plus 1 with a total score of plus 1. and therefore the next total score is equal to plus 4, therefore total score that is s is equal to 4. Now we shall learn the second method for finding the score s. Since the ranks are signed to marks of English from A to H are in ascending order, the score of A B, A C, A D and so on up to A H are all plus 1. Now we shall discuss scores for ranks assigned to the marks in Hindi. To construct row 1 we see that for A there is one rank greater than 7 on its right that is 8, therefore we assign the score of plus 1 to it. Now for B in rank 2 there are 5 ranks greater than 2 on its right that is 5, 3, 4, 6 and 8, therefore we assign the score of plus 5 to it. Similarly for C in rank 5 there are 2 ranks greater than 5 on its right that is 6 and 8, therefore we assign the score of plus 2 to it. For D in rank 3 there are 3 ranks greater than 3 on its right, therefore we assign the score of plus 3 to it. Similarly these scores given to E, F, G and H are plus 2, plus 2, plus 1 and 0 respectively. Now to construct row 2 we have for A in rank Y there are 6 ranks less than 7 on its right, therefore we assign the score of minus 6 to it. Similarly for B in rank Y that is 2 there is one rank less than 2 on its right, therefore we assign the score of minus 1 to it. For C in rank Y that is 5 there are 3 ranks less than 5 on its right that is 3, 4 and 1, therefore we assign the score of minus 3 to it. Similarly we assign the score of minus 1 to D, minus 1 to E, 0 to F, 0 to G and 0 to H. To get row 3 we add the scores of row 1 and row 2 and we get 1 minus 6 that is minus 5 for A, for B we have plus 1 minus 5 that is 4, for C we have plus 2 minus 3 that is minus of 1, for B it is plus 3 minus 1 that is plus 2, for E we have plus 2 minus 1 that is 1, for F we have plus 2 plus 0 that is plus 2, So g we have plus 1 plus 0 that is plus 1 and for h it is 0 plus 0 that is 0 and the total of row 3 gives the total scores that is total score s is equal to minus 5 plus 4 minus 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 0 which is equal to plus 4 therefore, kinders coefficient of Ram correlation which is given by tau is equal to twice of s upon n into n minus 1 so we have twice of s and s is equal to 4 therefore 2 into 4 upon and the value of n is given as 8 so we have 8 into 8 minus 1 which is equal to 2 into 4 that is 8 upon 8 into 7 so we have 1 upon 7 which is equal to 0.143 therefore kinders coefficient of Ram correlation tau is equal to 0.143 which is the required answer this completes our session hope you enjoyed this session


The 28th meeting of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee, and ... there we go, hopefully, that's the only issue we have this morning. Apologies have been received from Elina Whithom, and I would also like to congratulate Elina on her appointment as community safety minister and thank her for all the work on the committee. I welcome Evelyn Tweet, who will be attending as a substitute this morning. Our first item of business today is a decision to take item 4 in private. Are we all We now turn to our main item of business this morning. Item 2 is the consideration of a statutory instrument, the Homelessaggio's Suspension of Raferials between local authorities's Scotland Order 2022 draft. The Scottish Government advises that that order would suspend the discretionary power of local authorities to refer a homelessness applicant without a local connection to another local authority based on the ar y plwydiadau lleol o'r cwestiynau gloedd yng Nghymru. I welcome, Shona Robison MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Housing and Local Government. Cabinet Secretary, thank you for attending today. I welcome officials joining us today, Karen Greave, legislation and programme strategy team leader, Louise Thomson, homelessness policy manager and Mikayla West, solicitor housing branch Scottish Government. I hope I got your name right there. The instrument is laid under the affirmative procedure, which means that the Parliament must approve it before it comes into force. Following this evidence session, the committee will be invited at the next agenda item to consider a motion to approve the instrument. I remind everyone that Scottish Government officials can speak under this item, but not in the debate that follows. I now invite the Cabinet Secretary to make a short opening statement. Good morning and thanks, convener and members of the committee, for the invitation to today's session. The proposed change to local connection referrals between local authorities in Scotland was a recommendation made in 2002 by the homelessness task force and picked up again in 2018 by the homelessness and rough sleeping action group. In short, local connection has been recognised as a barrier to accessing homelessness services in Scotland for two decades, and now we are removing it. We made changes in late 2019 so that investigating local connection became a discretionary power rather than a legal duty for local authorities. That means that at the moment households can still be asked to demonstrate their local connection to the area when they present as homeless to a local authority. Most homeless households want to live in an area where they are already settled within their community. However, for some households, application of the local connection test is a barrier to securing a settled home. Choice is important, and homeless households should be able to freely move to a new area like anyone else. That could be to access support, to take advantage of employment opportunities or simply to have a fresh start. The number of households who present as homeless with no local connection to the local authority is low. Currently, around 5 per cent of all households assessed as homeless or threatened with homelessness. When there is no local connection established, local authorities have the power to refer the homeless household back to the area where they do have a local connection. However, local authorities seldom use the referral powers, which suggest that they are already operating in a person-centred way following the legislative change in 2019. Our 2019 consultation showed that there is broad support for the changes to local connection from homeless and stakeholders, local authorities and our lived experience group, the change team. However, we know that some local authorities have raised concerns as to the timing of laying the legislation, as they are under pressure to deliver their homelessness duties. Big cities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh are seen as attractive places to live, with a wide range of support services and employment opportunities available. Our island communities are also concerned that even a small increase in homeless households can have a significant impact on support services such as health and social care. A robust monitoring and evaluation framework has been developed with stakeholders and, through regular engagement with local authorities and services, we can capture trends as they emerge. That will provide the evidence base for mitigations should a disproportionate adverse effect on local authorities be identified. From my previous correspondence with the committee, we have delayed the SSI a number of times to support local authorities, but we are determined to improve access to housing and support for homeless households, so we are moving forward with those changes now. Finally, our safety, stability and support are all affected by where people live. I see the ending of local connection referrals in Scotland as an important step in removing barriers experienced by homeless households, making sure that households receive a consistent service and offering them opportunities available to other Scottish households. We will now move on to questions. Our questions will be directed to you, but you are obviously, of course, welcome to invite any official to respond. I will open up the questions this morning with quite a general one. I would be grateful if the cabinet secretary could expand on why the Scottish Government believes that this is the right approach. To start with the fact that Scotland has some of the strongest rights in the world for people experiencing homelessness, but at the moment, as local connection powers are discretionary, there is a risk of inconsistent practice across the country. That can result in some homeless households receiving a different service in one area compared to another. Ending the referral powers will result in, I suppose, a more consistent service across Scotland for homeless households. When people make a homelessness application in another local authority, they will have good reasons for doing so. As I said in my opening statement, that might be to be closer to family or a job opportunity, or they might want to use services that are not available in their area or, indeed, a fresh start because they did not feel safe in their previous home. We have listened to people's experiences and we have built on the basis of listening to those experiences. Changing the rules on local connection has been a long-standing commitment. It is not something that has just come to light recently. It has been informed by experts in the homelessness sector. As I said in my opening statement, the bones of that go back as far as 2002, when that was first raised. We have delayed, but we feel now is the right time to move forward with that. I will now move on to questions from members. I will bring my colleague Emma Roddick in. The cabinet secretary touched on that in her opening statement. There have been concerns raised by some local authorities with very specific housing issues around how they might be able to cope with aspirational applications and presentations for homelessness. For example, the Highlands and Islands, which is a great place to live. There may be people who present that are not realising the geography and that, if they are allocated a house in Caithness, they might be a good few hours away from the support services that they thought they would be closer to. The cabinet secretary touched on monitoring. Could she expand on how situations like that will be recorded and monitored so that the committee can scrutinise them in future? I am happy to do so. First of all, in terms of the context, I said in my opening statement that there was about 5 per cent of households that did not have a local connection to the local authority that they presented to. Less than 200 referrals last year and 11 councils did not make any referrals and 13 had made five or fewer referrals. We are not talking about huge numbers of people and huge increases. However, having said that, we recognise that we have to absolutely monitor and observe and keep an eye on any trends. First of all, we did complete an island community impact assessment with engagement from each of the six island local authorities, and we, the island and rural local authorities, made sure that we were listening to their issues that Emma Roddick has just articulated. The monitoring and reporting framework has been developed in collaboration with them, with front-line services and with those with lived experience to capture relevant information to support the data that is already gathered through HL1. Monitoring and statistics will be an important way of understanding the impact of the legislation. If there are any indications of difficulties, we will directly engage with the local authority to look at how we support them. I guess that the backstop would be if there is an emergency situation created in an area. There is the potential to come forward with an exemption, which would require me to come back to Parliament with that. I would really only want to do that in extremes and I do not anticipate that needing to be done, because I think that local authorities will manage the situation and, with our support, I think that we will be able to help them to address any additional applications that come in. I would be happy to come back to the committee, perhaps, after a period of time of implementation with an update report, if that would be helpful, to give the committee further information at that point. I thank the cabinet secretary for the detailed answer. I am glad to hear about engagement with folk with lived experience, particularly in the islands. Could she expand a little more on the wider engagement that was done with lived experience groups? The change team who sits around the table at the homelessness strategic group that I attend has been absolutely fantastic at ensuring that all measures and developments within homelessness policy services legislation are checked for those who have lived experience. The change team has drawn a huge number of people with varied experience of accessing homelessness services. The input is absolutely critical to ensure that any changes that are made or any issues that we need to address further are identified and highlighted by those with lived experience. I would certainly encourage the committee, if they have not already, to engage with the change team, because they are an amazing group of people. I will now move to questions from Evelyn Tweed. Shelter Scotland warmly welcomes the change and states that it will embed the no wrong door approach. It also welcomes a person-centred approach. Would the cabinet secretary like to comment further on the Shelter briefing? I certainly welcome the support and statement that was shared with the committee by Shelter Scotland, which recognises that it is an important step in improving outcomes for homeless households and giving those households the same ability to move as any other household would have. I know that Shelter does advocate on the behalf of the rights of people experiencing homelessness, and they see that as a strong step in the right direction of supporting a person's right to choose where they live. They have been advocating for that for quite some time. As I said, our content that we have now brought forward after having delayed for a good reason because of Covid and because of Ukraine, but we feel now that it is the right time to move forward and to delay any further would not be right. I think that we all understand the rationale for the legislation and by and large support it. As an Edinburgh MSP, I have my concerns where we are in the capital with the availability, and I think that Glasgow members would have the same of homelessness accommodation. I wanted to ask what impact assessment and potential additional support services and also homeless accommodation will be needed and what work has been undertaken around that for potential referrals to the capital and other cities. Let me go back to the numbers that are relatively small. In the latest figures, we have 2021-22, Edinburgh made 10 referrals and Glasgow made 20. I am not minimising that, but I think that we need to see it in some context of the overall number of applications, so they are relatively small. I am aware, obviously, that there are pressures within Glasgow and Edinburgh. I have engaged very directly with the housing conveners of both cities. We need to see the solutions as part of the wider housing system. They are not the same in Glasgow and Edinburgh. They both have different challenges. I have reiterated that in a letter that I issued yesterday to them that I am keen to work with both. Those other local authorities that have, for example, the highest number of people in temporary accommodation, to look at what solutions they can bring forward because they know their local areas better than I do and how we can support them with those solutions. I have offered to look favourably at solutions that can be brought forward with some evidence of how that will impact on resolving and reducing the number of people in temporary accommodation and helping to reduce homelessness within both cities more generally. The monitoring framework will, of course, be important in monitoring any impact on Glasgow, Edinburgh or anywhere else for that matter. We will continue to engage with them. However, I cannot stress enough how open I have been with them to come forward with solutions that they think can make the difference. I look forward to engaging with them further on that. Can I ask if the council has expressed concern to you on the issue as well? I have raised with you several times the issue around IJB funding, which has meant that the capital is lost out on resources, so we are not in a great place in the first place here in the capital. I just wondered if those concerns have already been put to you. There are mixed views within local authorities, it is fair to say, and some have, but others do not. There is not a consistent view across local authorities. Clearly, within the homelessness sector and experts, they are very clear that this is the right thing to do. It is not that those local authorities raised any concerns and said that they should not do it. It was more about the timing. I listened to that in terms of Covid and Ukraine, and that is why we are delayed to the frustration of some of the homeless and the stakeholders. Those things are always a balance. I feel that it is not right to be raised 20 years on from the first being that we do not move forward with that, but what I have said is that we will monitor any impact and we will work with those individual local authorities to help to overcome any issues. As I have started off with my comments, I have said very clearly to particularly Edinburgh and Glasgow that my door is open and I am keen to hear and receive proposals of how we can help to help them move forward with some of the particular challenges that they have, and that is continued to be the case. I will move on to questions from Jeremy Balfour. Good morning Cabinet Secretary and good morning to your team. I wonder if I can just fill up a couple of questions for my colleague, Miles Briggs. I do not want to keep this Edinburgh centric, but most people within Edinburgh, if they are in temporary accommodation, are there for two years. Can I just see clarification? If somebody makes an application, do they go on to that temporary accommodation list, or do they jump the list and go straight to find accommodation, which is obviously very scarce within Edinburgh? I will bring officials in, but obviously it would depend on their circumstances, so their homelessness application would be assessed in terms of the needs, as would any homelessness application. I do not know, Louise. Do you want to say a little bit more? I think I would echo what the cabinet secretary had said there. The application would be treated as any other applicant, the difference being that their local connections status is not taken into account. Okay, so have we worked out? I appreciate the numbers relatively are very low, but if you are waiting two years for a permanent house, that can be a very long time to wait in temporary accommodation. Off the people who you have looked at previously, how many of those would go into temporary accommodation and how many would go straight into a more permanent place? Do we have those figures? I think that those would be the figures that Edinburgh would have because it will change depending on the availability of accommodation at the time. Not everybody who requires accommodation in Edinburgh goes into temporary accommodation. It will depend on their circumstances, the availability of properties to meet their needs. We know, for example, that one of the reasons that families are ending up in temporary accommodation is quite often because there is not an available, suitable home to meet their needs. Obviously, it is about matching the needs of the person with the accommodation available. I would stress that Edinburgh made 10 referrals in 2021-22, so the figures are small. Having said that, I am not going to underestimate the challenge that Edinburgh has with temporary accommodation, which is why looking at it from that lens is not really the local connection that is the issue for Edinburgh. It is the number of people and the availability of stock and the numbers therefore going into temporary accommodation because they cannot be matched with a home that meets their needs. That is where we need to resolve the problem. I cannot stress enough that we need to think a little bit outside the box. For example, one of the opportunities of some of the quite imaginative thinking that is going on around the Ukraine programme is to look at either more innovative solutions around modular build that has been raised in the chamber during the Ukraine statement. Are there sites available to perhaps do some more rapid development of housing that may have more general application beyond the Ukraine programme? We really need to think about imaginative solutions. I have opened the offer. The offer is there on the table to Edinburgh and the other areas that I have a particular problem with housing availability and temporary accommodation to come forward with ideas, and we will help to make those happen. I think that we need to look at the whole housing system in Edinburgh rather than the local connection. It is not really the issue for Edinburgh here. It is more the housing system in Edinburgh that we need to get into more of a balance. On a more general point, if I read the regulations right, this is a suspension rather than a removal. I wonder why you have gone down that road. How long do you intend the suspension to last? Is that because you want to do a further review of this like a suspension when, 20 years time, people will forget that it has been a suspension? We have used the language of suspension because it is a suspension specific to Scottish local authorities and referrals between Scottish local authorities. We have kept in place in the provision the ability to refer elsewhere. The language of suspension is just specific to that specific local authority. If I live in Blackpool or wherever down in England and have a local connection with, say, Inverness, that does not apply to me, does it? If I live out with Scotland local authorities, even if I have a strong connection with the local authority area, I cannot use that. Is that right? There is alternative legislation in England and in Wales that deals with the same thing, with referrals between local authorities across England and Wales in Scotland. If you were to present to an English local authority and have a connection in Scotland, you might be referred to their discretion back up, although I cannot completely talk to the English legislation. Does that answer your question? I think so, yes. I am not quite sure why we have gone down the road of suspension rather than removal. I did not quite understand the answer. When you give me a label, it is slightly further on that. Why not just remove this completely? Well, because the suspension is within the 32 local authorities in Scotland, so it still leaves the power in relation to someone from a local authority out with Scotland. That is helpful. My final question is, one of the issues that we have been grappling with as a committee is data collection around all areas. You said that in your opening statement, but I wonder if you could just give us some kind of expansion in regard to how is the data collected and monitored, and will that be published in a public way so that we can see how this is working over a three or five-year period? I will bring officials in the detail, but some of that data is already collected, and this is about adding information on top of the information that is already there in terms of the monitoring and evaluation framework. Louie Sturgeon? Local authorities already give us regular data returns, which are published on an annual basis. The statistical side of things that we have already been capturing, we do not want to duplicate that, so we will use that existing data. The part that is being developed with local authorities, the change team and front-line services is much more around the qualitative side of information, really trying to capture the impact of what this legislation will have. That will be gathered through regular engagement with our stakeholders, local authorities and our lived experience group, and that will be published as well. I will now move to questions from Pam Duncan-Glancy, who will finish off our question today. Thank you, deputy convener. Good morning to the cabinet secretary and their officials. I wanted to pick up on a couple of the themes that we have heard so far this morning. Since 2019, in Glasgow, the unsuitable accommodation order has been breached 220 times. I wonder whether or not this is something that you are going to monitor as a result of bringing in this suspension. Yes, we monitor very closely the breaches, because I am concerned at any breaches, so we monitor the unsuitable accommodation order breaches. That will be part of the package of information that we will look at here. I will go back to one of my previous answers that we need to look at the housing system as a whole to address, because we can address some of the issues around temporary accommodation. We can then tackle the unsuitable accommodation orders. Some local authorities are doing some quite imaginative things. One local authority was talking at a recent housing event. I attended that they were getting far more upstream and identifying those households that could potentially end up homeless and in temporary accommodation. They were doing that through looking at, for example, people getting into council tax arrears, as well as rent arrears, and by getting further upstream and helping those families earlier with their debts and arrears. They were actually seeing the homelessness figures come down and those in temporary accommodation come down. There is something about both tackling those presenting as homeless and tackling that issue and obviously making sure that we continue to expand the housing provision and that we look at innovative ways of tackling temporary accommodation. There is also something about prevention. I am keen to look further at how we might get help families at a point before they end up in the homelessness system. That is about drilling down into looking at folk who have ended up in temporary accommodation. What is their story of how did they get there, what happened and what were the opportunities for intervention? I think that the prevention duties that we are bringing forward are going to be important in that respect as well because it is about looking at all of the opportunities to intervene in seeing it as everybody's business to ask the questions about our folk getting into debt, into arrears, homelessness and a potential consequence of that. How can we really prevent that far earlier? I welcome that approach. I can see how that would be more sensible than obviously getting someone into homelessness situation or finding them and dealing with it at that point, so that is really helpful. Have you also considered, we spoke a little bit about Ukraine this morning, have you considered the impact of the people from Ukraine on this particular order? Yes, and obviously we monitor that very carefully. As you will be aware, the housing system around the Ukrainian displaced persons is a bit separate because they have the welcome accommodation and then trying to get them into host accommodation or the opportunities for the private rented sector. There is a lot of work going on and of course the social rented sector, the £50 million that has been made available to local authorities to come forward with new accommodation, as in refurbished, repurposing. We have had a good response from a number of local authorities, the latest one with the 500 units in Aberdeen that are going to be brought forward that were essentially needing refurbishment and had been seen as surplus to requirements, so we are trying to keep that housing stream a bit separate in order to create additional capacity. Obviously, we need to keep a close eye on that because we do not want—let me say this as well—it is really important that the host accommodation opportunity is continued beyond six months. There have been a number of changes in the UK Government around the programme and I know that my colleague Neil Gray has been seeking urgent discussions around making sure that that ability to keep hosts beyond the six months is really, really important because we do not want to see people. I know that English local authorities are really concerned about that as well. We do not want to see people ending up out of host accommodation and then ending up presenting as homeless. That is really important. We do not see that, so making sure that hosts can continue to host, while people are then supported into more settled accommodation, is really, really crucial. All of those things are linked. Thank you. I have just one final question. I appreciate what has been said this morning about monitoring. I think that that will be quite important for this. I should have said at the start that I think that this is a sensible thing to do because I understand that people want to be able to live where they want to live, so I think that that is quite important. In the monitoring, if you were to find that there were particular local authorities that had quite an uptick in applications, possibly as a result of that particular suspension, is there an intention to provide funding to those local authorities to make sure that they can afford to meet the demand? We will look at the circumstances at the time of what interventions have already been made and what further interventions the local authority believes are necessary, but I go back to that wider discussion. We have already been very upfront with Glasgow and Edinburgh, for example, about what you think you need to do to tackle, for example, temporary accommodation issues in Edinburgh, and then we can have a conversation about how that is supported. Obviously, we would want those local authorities to make full use of the allocations that have already been received. For example, in Edinburgh, they have not fully utilised as yet their allocation of the affordable housing supply programme, and we are wanting them to get on with that. I know that they have a few things in the pipeline, but we need to see the full allocation used before any further resources are used. However, I have said that, if Edinburgh or any other local authority, with particular pressures around temporary accommodation, comes to us and says, look, we think that those are the kind of key things that we need to do. We can fund those ourselves, but we need a bit of assistance with that. I would look on that very favourably. The evidence is there. It is going to make a difference, and those are the conversations that we are having. I am sure that local authorities will welcome that. Item 3 is the formal consideration of motion S6M-05955, calling for the committee to recommend approval of the homeless person's suspension of referrals between local authorities Scotland Order 2022. I invite the cabinet secretary to speak and move that motion. I now invite any contributions from members. I will invite the cabinet secretary to sum up and respond to the debate. I think that it has been a very constructive discussion, and a lot of important points have been made. I will come back to the committee at some point in the future with an update on how that is working in practice, if that would be helpful to the committee. Absolutely, that would be very helpful. The question is that motion S6M-05955 in the name of Shona Robinson MSP be approved. Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. That is great. The committee will report on the outcome of this instrument in due course. I invite the committee to delegate authority to me as convener to approve a draft of the report for publication. Thank you, cabinet secretary, and to your officials for coming this morning. Before I close the public part of this meeting, I can advise that next week we will be taking evidence on the Scottish Government's national care service Scotland bill. The committee will now move into private session, and members attending remotely are invited to join the private meeting via the link provided.

I'm doing all right. Thanks for stopping by Just kind of in the middle of trying to decide what I want to do with the channel Give me a second guys. I'm trying to Figure something out over here Okay, I believe that's on Okay Think we're good. All right, so we're picking up. Oh We're left off. I will make the other video the first video lot of public if I can manage to get through this one All right I Was stuck on a puzzle trying to figure out Something I can't remember what I was doing. Oh, yeah the combination. Oh And I even have a theory what I was doing wrong. Oh, okay What in the world? What was the last place? Piece of mystery. Hey Brian. How you doing? Somewhere it shouldn't belong. All right, then No, this is right. I'm gonna make sure Mr. Fitchheim and a baby the leader of the bikers and the main. Oh Yeah, I can't turn on Captions I forgot about that I've been doing really good. Thanks for asking Baby the leader of the bikers and the main suspect of robbery cases has now parted from the main group. Oh, yeah Our theory was what that the guy was the This is the biker. I'm on the biker. I Can't remember because they were saying that you assaulted a goal. Yeah Where's my flashlight? Didn't I have a flashlight? Did I not have a flashlight? I'm trying to figure it out Now there it is. Okay. I could have swore. I hit square Anyways, so we are current. Oh No, I got to get through the third floor at night. I Got to get through the third floor at night a lot lately If I didn't return the key, I'll leave it in the safe in my office Sub-inspector buncha Hey Sean, how you doing? I missed you too Do we really need a flashlight though? Just uh Yeah, we're doing good Sean just a heads up I'm playing this on the PlayStation and it doesn't show me all of a comment So try to keep the comments relatively short Relatively oh we get to do the there's more people watching.   I'm not taking anything All right, that can't be opened Yeah, and that's where the puzzle is. I mean to be fair I'd react the same way if someone walked in on me taking a douche so Or leaving one either way Oh, this is the place this is the place where I need the screwdriver for okay. Oh, where was the screwdriver at? Yeah, well no I didn't die I couldn't figure out the puzzle so I called it a night is There a moving finger in the sigh as all I don't know the SI Yeah, I don't know it's probably because uh, I don't I don't know there's some for some odd reason it doesn't show The entire I know there's a screwdriver around here I know R2-D2. I'm confused too a Petra is a time of ghosts widely known throughout Buddhism Hinduism and related religions It is said to be a ghost that suffers with eternal hunger and thirst There is a belief that those who committed deadly sins such as thievery Did y'all killing people for stealing the Snickers while living will be reborn as a Petra Hey Brad, how you doing? Thank you. Missed you guys too Thai people also believe that harming your parents will result in direct rebirth as a preta The preta is usually depicted as a tall creature as tall as a palm tree a Hand as big as a fan palm leaf a mouth as small as a pinhole. I don't know that dude's mouth look pretty big It will live its life suffering with all the sins it has done Okay, let's see here Hello, screwty driver screwty driver And there there it is there it is Let me out. Let me out. Okay We can't go up there because I can't my character is inflicted with no leg syndrome So we can't step over that so that's what that thing is Right Okay.  Oh It's set. Wait a second Why oh, I'm gonna be chased through here in it. Yep. That's exactly what's going on I'm gonna have to dip out with my prowl out down down down down A hint of something now Yeah, it works. If you turn it upside down It says eight what nine ten 80 90 10. Yeah, okay so 80 90 oops Yeah screwed up 80 90 That did not work. So 10 80 90 maybe. Oh, it's 90 in the middle, isn't it? That's I did it again 10 90 That is not it. Okay. Well, then what is it? Let's see here. What is it look like? Yeah, if it was upside down it'd be 80 90 10 or 10 90 80, right? Huh 80 oh 80 90 That's not it All right, so and the next one was 10 90 80. I Tried both of these didn't I I don't know. I don't know. Let me 80 60 10. I already tried that. I think or 10 60 80 All right, so let's try 10 60 All right, so backward it would be 80 60 If I don't get at this I'm just gonna look it up Yeah, it's I have no idea what it is. All right, who got a phone? Probably are all those numbers underlined Yeah, they're all underlined But how in the world is that? It's 10 40 60 How in the world do you get 10 40 60? 10 40 10 40 That ain't it either even the Try backward Hang on Basically, there are three numbers if you have to read them upside down mine were six nine one Right, so upside down they were 90 60 One I thought that weather one was 80 There you see on the bottom of the lock drawing tells you to use that number The number directly below was 90 40 60 Was 10 and 10 was 60. What? Hang on Yeah It is over complicated we the rest of this game was So what am I supposed to do okay, so use the number that comes up underneath the 10 Underneath the 90 and the underneath the 80 so when you rotate it what number comes up Oh, okay. I get it's a mirror thing. Yeah, okay. I got it now So So 10 60 10 no, I'm sorry 60 is under the 10. So that's that's 60 your first number was actually 60 90 what comes up underneath the oh, I get oh, I'm sorry now. I understand hang on. Let me go look at it So if we do 80 90 and 10 if that's if it's upside down, right? Right 80 90 and 10 80 90 and 10 Let's see here Let's go to 80 would be 30 Right. All right 80 90 would be 40 And 10 would be 60 It's all right. So it must be the other way 10 All right 60 the one in the middle was 90 so that'd be 40 uh-huh 60 40 And then across from 80 was 30, right? That's it. Okay. Finally. All right Now we're cooking with guys Yay, finally, right Brian. All right, let's get back up here Yeah, that was over complicated. I never would have figured it out without looking it up You gotta pay more attention to the drawings Okay Why are you hollering this whole plate? Hey j rod, how you doing? Thank you. Thank you. Missed you It's usually really obvious when there's things in here All right, jane's diary front Every time I lay down I find myself in that strange place over and over again I figured that the sleeping pills might be able to help me through the night and stop me from having this creepy nightmare There must be rats inside that stair cupboard Was that where the noise came from?

Hi and welcome back, it's Vicky here with a flower card today, I will be using a new stamp set that has just been released by Altenew, this is the flourishing Zinnia, it is a layering flower stamp set, one of my favorites that Altenew always comes up with and I am going to show you the leaflet that comes with the stamp set and here you can get lots of ideas on how you can put your card together, how you can place the sentiments and different color combos for your flowers and at the back as always you will get the layering guide, for my stamping I am going to use the Red Cosmos oval set, I like those sets because you don't have to think of which colors to put together on the layering stamps but you also get the option to get them separately and they also come in small little ink cubes so they are more economical if you want to grab more colors, so for the first layer I used Frost Pink, this is the second layer and I am using Coral Berry, for the third layer I am using Ruby Red, this is a gorgeous color and for the last layer I am using Grape Vine which is the darkest one and now my flower looks real dimensional, I used a matching die to cut out the flower and now I am using embossing ink, I am going to stamp the last layer of the flower with that ink and I am going to apply some anti-gold embossing powder, just to add some shine at the center of my flower and I have already prepared my leaves as you can see I have stamped them and cut them out, again these were three layers of stamping so I will work on my card base now before I put the flower together, I decided to work with one of the new white washi tapes and I do have a video where I am using most of them but I didn't use this one, the black and white one so I decided to use this today now what is great about the washi tape is that if you stick it like I did here with bubbles you can always peel it off and do it one more time and if you use your bone folder to smooth everything out you will see that you will get perfect results. I'm going to use this banner die, this is called party banner die from an earlier release by Altenew and it also comes with two little dies that you can cut out at the top to thread some ribbon or string now in this case I'm not going to use those holes I'm just going to cut out the banner, I'm going to place the banner on top of a card base that's four and a quarter by five and a half and I'm making sure that it is flush at the top so this gives me a little area at the bottom where I'm going to stamp the sentiment I'm going with the sentiment from the same stamp set as the Xenia flower and I want to stamp in that little white triangle that it's left down there the word awesome so I'm going to mask off the top part of the sentiment and I'm going to use my black ink for the bottom word that says awesome now I am using my mist today for doing all the stamping it's really helpful to use any stamping platform that you have to do the layering and it's also helpful to do the sentiment as well since I wanted it to be nice and black so I had to stamp it twice and now on a piece of white cardstock I'm going to do the reverse thing so I'm going to stamp the you are simply which then I'm going to use my paper trimmer to cut it out into a thin strip and I'm ready to put everything together for the top of my card base I'm going to use my corner chomper and around the edges this is going to make sure that they will nicely nest together without having two little dog ears on its side but you can always use your scissors and cut off the excess now at the back I'm using some foam tape so I have some dimension between my card base and that big banner and I'm also going to use foam squares at the back of my big flower there I love the size of it because it's a great focal point and covers up a great deal of the card now for the leaves I'm going to chop off a part of them since I need to tuck them underneath the flower and I'm using glue for the leaves so these are going to lay flat on top of my banner while I will have dimension on the flower I always like to have different layers of all my elements on top of my cards I also used glue at the back of this thin strip and I'm going to stick it in place to complete my sentiment and the white glue that I used is actually Nouveau Deluxe now to finish off my card I'm going to add some white dots with my Nouveau drops and my card is finished I hope you had fun and you got inspired don't forget you will find the full list of all the supplies that I used today down below the description area as well as on my blog here are some close-up photos on the card that I made for today thank you all so much for visiting and I'll see you next time


A vaccine situation at the St. Jude Hospital involving conditions in the kitchen cafeteria has been resolved. Chairman of the board, Wayne Harrow, has confirmed that staff of the department protested flooding in the kitchen, however informed that the situation was resolved once brought to the attention of senior management. The water in the department, Mr. Harrow says, was as a result of leakage in the pipelines. As soon as the excess water was identified on the floor, I am informed by management that everything was done to clean up and to remedy and to fix the plumbing system. Everything is back to normal. In terms of the issue of the patients not being fed breakfast, they were in fact fed. It was done late because of the existing situation that was remedying. Mr. Harrow says despite best efforts by management, such infrastructure issues to arise. There are occasional situations with the plumbing system at the hospital. At no time did management deliberately neglect their responsibilities to put staff in the way of danger. As soon as the issue was brought to the attention of senior management, it was dealt with expeditiously. I wish to apologize on behalf of management and the board to the staff members who felt that there was some degree of neglect. That was not the case. And that is not the case. It will never be the case. Our maintenance team will remain on track to ensure that in the future, those minor glitches are dealt with quickly. Staff of the kitchen and cafeteria resumed duty hours after downing their tools.


Now there are a lot of baseball people that are on the field as the celebrations happening in Altuve is rounding third now You might say well, this is unfair to even bring up But the people I spoke to last night brought it up to me. I started to think and once you get caught cheating mm-hmm at anything you are always going to be Maybe thought of as a cheater mm-hmm Whether you stop after you cheated once or not that that that stink is always going to be on your body and It's going to leave open for interpretation every Thing that's ever been done. Now. Do you believe that the Astros cheated so? blatantly in in 2017 and completely stopped. No, no way. I think they changed the way they did it I think they probably got funky. They probably got very creative. Yes Baseball people that were Around the field and could hear Altuve is screaming as he rounds third no to his teammates that are waiting at home plate Don't rip off my uniform top Don't rip it off. He's screaming. I remember that I remember. Yeah Could it be because there was some kind of electronic device under the uniform? Hmm I'm not willing to go because a lot of people were saying over the last month when this all came out teams might have been experimenting with sending little vibrations to Wires that were around the wrist or around the chest that would indicate a certain pitch Well, I'm not saying that it happened, but you do remember him screaming. Don't rip off my uniform Very clearly because them Joe comments on it. That was those folks, right? Yeah, they commented on it that he was saying I think in his interview They asked him about it. I think they mentioned it to him I mean that much in one of the Jersey Alonso has and you know that the next players rip the Jersey off, but for him to be that like So he was dead set on it. I remember I remember not rip my jersey off. Listen. I don't ever like to stand on right? I mean, obviously they've been caught cheating so anything is possible So I can't I can't come on and say no way the reason my gut says no and maybe because I thought it was a toolbox move Anyway, I thought it was ridiculous when you know Lonzo Bear-chested after winning a regular so ripping the Jersey. I don't like the ripping the Jersey off And I remember thinking at the time because I look at Altuve at least I did is a real classy guy I'm like, this is a great moment. This is an historic moment Do you really want like a jersey that could be kind of something cool to keep? That's the Jersey you hit the game winning home run like torn apart like so I kind of looked at it as I don't Want to be that guy and have the Jersey ripped off, but you bring up a good point I mean anything is possible now. It's all on the table my gut says no But Michael enough evidence is piled up that I guess it's got to be worth considering that again once you're implicated Yeah, and any people from baseball are wondering what a lot of people at that time were wondering They didn't just put two and two together now the numbers are right there on the chalkboard Why was he screaming don't rip off my jersey now now let the fantasies begin

And here's truly Don, well, ladies and gentlemen, while Jack Benny was away in Las Vegas, he gave Rochester the week off. As we look into Jack's home in Beverly Hills at his morning, Rochester hasn't returned yet, so Jack is preparing his own breakfast. Now where's that can of coffee? Oh, here it is. I hear music and there's no one there. Tea coffee is so expensive now. Look at the pictures of Chase and Sanborn. They're smiling. Now let's see, how do you make coffee? Oh, yes, there's an old saying, use one spoonful for each cup and one for the pot. See, I want about three cups. Three.  I'll get the dishes and the silverware here for the ta- I hear music but there's no one there. I smell blossom but the trees are bare Having breakfast in my underwear I wonder why I wonder why Well, I've got the table set.  I wonder where Rochester put that big mirror. Yes, it's in my bedroom.  Uh-oh, the coffee's starting to percolate. I've got the only coffee pot. That's also on the Judy Canovish. See, what else do I want? Who's that? Well, so you finally got here. You should have been home yesterday. I know. Well, where have you been? Well... Now come on, Rochester, tell me, where have you been? You want the truth or an amazingly interesting alibi? I want the truth. I wish you'd listen to the alibi. Fine, the alibi, just tell me where you've been. Stay with some friends in San Diego. There's some of their friends who insisted that I stay with them for a while. If you went from San Diego to San Francisco, you had to come to Los Angeles. Why didn't you stop? My friends, friends, friends didn't... Oh, so you spent most of your time in San Francisco. Didn't you get my car from Louisville? Louisville? Oh, so you went to the Kentucky Derby. Yeah. How'd you do? Horse I bet on couldn't even friendly himself into third place. Well, it serves your right. If you'd been back here last night instead of the... I'll get it. You finish my breakfast. I'm starving. I mean, finish cooking it. Music and there's no one there. I smell blossom. Oh, hello, Dennis. Hello, Mr. Benny. Was that you singing? Yeah. You'll never get two shows. Come on, now. Where'd you come over here for? Well, I wanted you to hear the song I rehearsed for the program. Oh, yes. Come in. Thank you. Now, Dennis, go in the... Hey, wait a minute. What's that you got under your arm? Oh, blueprints. I'm building a new house for me and my folks. Really? Let me look at the plan. Sure. Hmm, this looks nice. This is the dining room, isn't it? Uh-huh. And right up here is the master bedroom. The master bedroom? Yeah, see. The dressing table goes here. The chaise lounge goes here. The refrigerator goes here. And the stove goes there. Well, uh... Wait a minute, Dennis. Why would you have the refrigerator and stove in the bedroom? My mother likes to have breakfast and bed.  Because then the food would get all cold and soggy. The food would get cold and soggy? Why? To get from the kitchen to the bedroom, you have to go through the living room, and that's where we have our swimming pool. You have a swimming pool in the living room?  No, it isn't. Look what we save on rugs. The craziest house. Dennis, why would you have... No, no. I'm not going to ask you. There's no question you can ask that the architect already didn't. Dennis, I've really had enough, but since I haven't had breakfast yet, and I've got nothing to lose, we'll continue. When are the workmen going to start building your house? Oh, this afternoon.  Dennis, if I can guess how the men can finish the house so fast, will you sing your song? Uh-huh. The carpenters are drinking had-a-call. The name of my song is No One But You. I knew it. I knew it. I want to be late for the housewarming. Yeah, you're telling me, kid. For a minute, I thought it was the Duchess of Windsor. Come on, let's see what he wants. Dennis, you don't have to hop on every crack. And look, I wanted to show you something I bought. Ain't they cute? Say, they're dresses for a little baby. Yeah, they're too small for your children, aren't they, Phil? Oh, they're not for my kids. They're for Sammy the drummer's new baby. His wife had a little girl last week. Oh, I didn't know that. I'll have to call them up. Yeah, and say Jackson, for a present, don't charge you for the first month's diaper service. Have you seen the baby yet, Phil? Yeah, she's awfully cute. She's got her mother's lips and her mother's eyes and Sammy's hair. Don't worry, she'll grow her own, you know? I doubt it. Sammy never did. By the way, Phil, you were supposed to drop over last night and talk to me about some musical arrangements. Why didn't you show up? Oh, I couldn't, Jackson. Last night, Alice dragged me into one of them meetings of the Parent Teachers Association, and, man, it was really embarrassing. Embarrassing? Yeah, I didn't know what they were talking about. One guy gets up and suggests that they coordinate all visual training aids. Uh-huh. Then the fellow in front of me raises his hand and suggests faculty representation at the Bilinquil Festival in Ecuador. Then the fellow behind me makes a suggestion that a psychoanalytical basis be applied to compensate for the individual variance during the early academic year. Not to embarrass Alice. I got up and made a suggestion, too. Well, good for you, Phil. What'd you suggest? I made a motion they redecorate the cocktail bar in a school cafeteria. You made a suggestion like that? Yeah. I'm not worried about this tar, but how do you get these feathers off? I thought you were going where the wild goose goes. I'll see you later. Oh, wait a minute, Phil. As long as you're going down to the cleaners, I wish you'd take a few things for me. What makes you think I'm going to the cleaners? That bundle of clothes lying on the back seat. That's Ramley. Then why have you got those two straps around him? There's a handle on the back. It's easier to carry him. Look, he's still got those labels from the time we were in London. Now, there you go. Vinny, I'm going to go home now. OK, Dennis. So long. So long. What a cast I've got.  Sometimes I wonder... I'll wash my slivishes on the phone. I'll take it in the living room. Over this afternoon, I won't be able to. Why not? Well, tomorrow's my sister Babe's birthday, and right now I'm downtown doing some shopping. Babe's birthday, eh? What are you going to get her, Mary? Well, I don't know. It's a problem. Oh, it shouldn't be hard to get Babe a gift. There's so many things she hasn't got. Jack, the things she hasn't got money can't buy. No problem. So it's Babe's birthday, eh? How old is she, Mary? Thirty-nine. Well, she's as old as I am. Oh, oh. If you're buying a gift for Babe, buy her something for me, too. Get her a wristwatch, or a good bottle of perfume, or a silk scarf, or a pair of stockings, or a half a pound of candy. Wait till I get down to it. You can stop with that, too. Last year, I gave Babe a pair of gloves. I know, but when the fight was called off, you took them back. You're popping at the maid company. Tell them to take the candle out of the window. You're home. It'll be her summer replacement. Wait a minute. Rochester! Hang up, Mary. There's someone at the door. Okay, bye. Goodbye. Coming. Oh, I wasn't expecting to see you again, Mr. Mr. Collins of the Department of Internal Revenue. Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Collins. And you remember my assistant Herbert Thompson? Yes, yes. How do you do? How do you do? Gentlemen, this time. Well, Mr. Benny, for a month now, we've been working on your 1950 income tax return, and we still can't believe that a man in your position only spent $17 for entertainment. Well, I'm sorry, but that's all I spent. But since you gentlemen are here, there's a question I'd like to ask you about income tax. Well, we'd be glad to help you if we can. Well, last week I did a broadcast from the Nellis Air Force Base at Las Vegas. And since I was in Las Vegas on business, can I legally deduct my losses there? Well, I don't know. What did you lose? One of my riders. Your show and thought you lost all of them. We're trying to help you. I know, I know. Now, Mr. Benny, you have one item here on your 1950 return that puzzles us. If you want us to keep it confidential, we certainly will. Well, thank you. What is it? This item you've got down is a deduction here. $28 for a nightgown for Ann Sheridan. Oh, oh, yes, that was a replacement. I burned hers while I was ironing it. Any other questions? No. Let's go, Herb. Goodbye, Mr. Benny. Goodbye. I think it's just wonderful the way those two men have been trying to help me. Well, bring it in the library, Rochester. I haven't read a while. Busy lately. I haven't had time to do any reading. Got a lot of new books here. Here's one. Neither Five Nor Three by Helen McKinnis. Oh, I read that. It's good, too. The Cain Mutiny by Herman Woke. I remember him. He used to write for Fred Allen and quit to go to war. Coward. King Midas and his Golden Touch. I'm reading King Midas. Had such a sad ending. They cured him. Oh, here's a new one. I was Shanghai. Hey, that sounds exciting. I think I'll read it. I was Shanghai. We Shanghai'd you two days ago in a Frisco Saloon, matey. Keele Hall the navigator, box the compass, wreath the jib, port the helm, and swab the poop deck. I want to see the captain. Well, he's over by the Mismas, but I wouldn't go near him if I were you. This bloodthirsty pirate that ever sailed the Seven Seas. I don't care. I'm going to see him anyway. Your funeral. This is Captain Kidd.


is is not the one that we're expected to have on outcomes just because knowing a little bit about how how many cylinders the car has and then six 84 and 8 104 here's another count if just picking this sell-up same formula taking this danger data range so then if we were to construct a histogram with this if you just select this data and create a histogram then it creates our buckets three to four four to five five to five five to six now we can adjust these buckets down here because really we would want them to just be one through eight possibly but sometimes when you create a histogram in Excel that can be a little bit tricky to try to get this this x-axis to be exactly what you want it meaning I would like this to just be you know one two three four to eight because it wants it needs to have a range so so so that could be a little bit tricky and so when you see this kind of data sometimes it might be easier to say the I would like a histogram but but but instead of of making the histogram I would just need a bar chart so it might be easier actually to make this table and then create your histogram from a bar chart based on this table instead of the data set so we can come down here and say this is another histogram basically created instead of from this data from this little table we put together which sometimes is easier to put together than others in this case because like if we had a range between one zero and one of a bunch of decimals and we don't know what it is then the rain it's gonna be a little bit more difficult we need the ranges we need the buckets but if you have something like this now I can say hey look I just need eight eight buckets right that are pretty well defined so I can create a table and then make our our histogram in this format so now I just got one two three four five six seven and eight and so and and this might be a little bit more clear format for us to put it in recognize just recognizing what the data looks like and making a slightly different kind of histogram or using a different tool we might trim this down even further and say hey look I don't really need the the ones that don't have anything in it because I only have a few factors so we might cut down the data set to something like this and then and then we might get a little fancy we got a little fancy with the with the the colors here so different formats for the histogram let's take a look at another one in this case we've got the name and the horsepower so in contrast with the horsepower notice that the horsepower might vary a lot more so so I can't so it's going to be more difficult to use the to use the second method we saw last time so the general idea we've got the name and then we've got the horsepower we might try to sort the horsepower from low to high or high to low and that will give us an idea of the horsepower but we would like to see it see other information related to it here's our standard calculations let's do it this time this way the average taking the average which is summing adding all of these up and then divided by one two three four the count right and then we're going to take the median take the one in the middle just like Rocky the boxers coach told them to hit the one in the middle that's the one we're going to do we're going to hit the one in the middle and that's the median function we've got the max that's the highest one the function to do that in excel is simply equals the max meaning take the highest number in this data set and the men is just simply going to be equals the men brackets data set take the lowest number in the data set so when we're looking at horsepower we've got the max 230 the men 46 the average 104 and the one in the middle 994 now just looking at these numbers note that that like if this maximum is an outlier it's like 230 it's you know there's it's not like it's out there all in and of itself but remember that the outliers on the high or the low end could have an impact on the average versus the median so if you see a big difference between the average and the median there's not a huge difference here but if you see a big difference then your thought process would be well maybe there's some outliers that are skewing the average that you need to kind of keep an eye on so if I look at a pictorial representation of a histogram we have something that's that's that's skewed to the right because we have the tail end on the right meaning the ones out here at 226 to 244 the high horse power there's only a few of them out here right so we've got kind of the middle that's somewhere around here right the 104 is the average so the middle point if ours to take a teeter totter you know and try to put it like at the middle so this thing balances you know left to right kind of thing on the histogram and there is our spread of the data so clearly this is going from the low the buckets 46 to 64 the 64 to 82 the 82 to 100 the 100 the 118 and so on and so forth now note it is possible for us to create a bar chart and recreate this data but it's not as easy as with the last data because I don't simply have just one through eight different buckets that are well-defined because now I have numbers you see these numbers I need a bucket I need something going from I can't list every number from 46 up to 244 that would the chart would be useless so so I have to have some kind of range on the buckets so that means if I was to try to make a a bar chart histogram I it would be a little bit more difficult because I would then have to make the ranges myself and then use a little bit more complicated it's still doable but you have to a little bit more complicated calculation to pick up the numbers that are between a certain range that's still a useful tool to do we'll do it in excel in future presentations because sometimes you might want a bar chart even when you're using the ranges because you might for example want to have two bar charts on top of each other and that might be easier to do then then with the histograms you might have a little bit more flexibility if you create your own table in other words and then create a bar chart with it then you do with the histogram tools so we'll take a look at those in future presentations


wide and the teams could not be separated at the interval sorry at the end of the game it ended go less between these two teams presentation college and St. Anthony's College so we don't just wait for kicks from the penalty marks the team saying their final prayers I think when you look back at the highlights of the game certainly the better opportunities came to St. Anthony's College as we look at the stats presentation college with three shots none on target so that he's having seven shots two of those on targets eight fouls in total seven for presentation college one for St. Anthony's one card in the game and it was a yellow one shown to a presentation college player Levi Jones Levi Jones to be precise two off sides one for present a two for presentation college zero for St. Anthony's College 12 corners split right down the middle six a piece for presentation college and St. Anthony's College to save for presentation college in Lazarus and 46% possession for presentation college and 54 for St. Anthony's College a lot of that 54 came in the second half but the main scoreline is the one on top presentation college nil St. Anthony's College nil in a game that saw both teams in a seesaw battle not a lot of clear cut opportunities the one that the ones that did come I would say Colin felt us in Anthony's College but both teams showed very good resilience defensively can they show nerves at the penalty spot yeah you're right I think it's who holds the nerve better Morris must be a very confident young man because tends to be the penalty stopper in the team but then you've got a guy like Lazarus who is very experienced and a very very good goalkeeper so let's it's going to be presentation kicking first it's up against Morris I think Colin Morris is the only goalkeeper in world football to win back-to-back penalty shootouts he won one the day before I like that for Queen's World College in world football okay right I'm not sure any goalkeeper has done that but here's Vaughan Clement with the first kick for presentation and Morris he got his hand to it yeah got his hand it but couldn't hold on just felt they're calling that Morris would have done that not the cleanest of strikes in fact right down the middle Morris had left to occupy the right side of the goal said he just couldn't get a firm hand up to stop that one presentation college they're quite happy to take the lead comes in Anthony's College it's saved by Lazarus Francois was the man who missed it yeah it's unfortunate because he had a solid game throughout he missed a penalty in normal in regulation time against Queen's World College and then he comes up and he scored in the penalty shooter but this time doesn't score good stuff by Lazarus yes he leaves to this is left but he made sure that he left some sort of occupation in the middle of the goal and that's occupation of those big red boots to make sure he denied Francois and now presentation college has the advantage it's Levi Jones yeah excellent penalty he made no mistake Jones it's a short run up good connection all the way down in the goal in the corner of the net and goalkeeper Morris really had no chance there Lazarus with a bit of gamesmanship yep because it's Wilson right coming up to try and get it to two to one you have to think he's got to score here Wilson right to keeps an Anthony's in this encounter so here is Wilson right against Lazarus oh he put it away well that's excellent that's a good penalty don't think we expected anything less from that young man Wilson right it's a good technician and it's a good penalty drops his shoulder to the left sends Lazarus with his shoulder and plants the ball to his right with power and conviction captain Wilson right puts in Anthony's on the board Fonset is the next player so Fonset to make it 3-1 for presentation oh that's a short run up almost a non-existent run up he hit it well yeah he did and one of those where short run-ups calling normally avoid with power it's it's very difficult to generate power for my short run up but don't tell Fonset that because that's exactly what beat Morris power because he did guess the right way but with that short run up somehow young man number 21 Fonset was able to generate a lot of power and he's put it into the back of the net 3-1 this is a crucial kick of course Cooper missing the first during regulation time Colin this is a big big kick that's a very very good penalty was that phrase it looks like phrase a phrase I'm sorry yeah he missed in regulation time that's a big kick yeah Fraser putting that ball in the top corner no goalie in the world would say that okay what a good kick not even if he had a rod on extension because Lazarus did go the right way wasn't able to pluck that out of the net strong kick this is a man who came on as a substitute yeah this is crunch time now Colin really is Ford presentation college two kicks away possibly from winning the National Intercal Finals starts here here's Ford against Morris I'm not sure Colin if he if he ever made his mind up in the kick because he plays the ball and he just looked indecisive in this kick a lot of power in it I don't think he needed that much power Morris got there and at the end of the day blasted it over the bar I'm always concerned Colin once when a player puts a ball on for penalty kick and starts square well it looks like Thomas is the next kicker for said Anthony's yeah that's a good kick what I tell you now even Steven this was Thomas was a good kick by Thomas sends Lazarus the wrong way blasts it to the top of his right side Lazarus is left so good clean penalty and up now for presentation college young who I thought Colin was excellent throughout this game for them the left back yep young very industrious all afternoon with me well here's young with the left foot script the bar he's missed it what a turn of events here so what a turn of events who is coming forward well it's a he's always leaning back young I think when he saw Morris going that way he decided to give it a little bit extra air and in giving that extra air the ball ballooned off the bar and over the top now Colin this is for all the marbles it looks like Rose the right back it seems to be Rose you're right yeah it is Rose so to win the Coca-Cola intercall national title here is Rose what drama fuck it was Francois no it was rose was it was rose what drama we have here Daniel Rose to win the Coca-Cola national intercall title for St. Anthony's hit it to the left of Lazarus Lazarus saved it so on we go well well it looks to me is it the substitute Jacob you suggested Colin that he came on for Elliot and probably for penalty taken reasons well this is it here is Jacob that's a good penalty great penalty for three for it's sudden death now all of a sudden St. Anthony's College went from one kick away from winning the national intercall challenge title look at that kick again place on the right side and now they're one save away from losing it the drama of penalty kicks and that man with the ball in his hands is bubbling with confidence so this is Krovedor Krovedor to make it for all oh boy oh boy I think Lazarus is disappointed in itself yeah he went early and maybe Colin just maybe if he does stand stood his ground as we have another look at it Krovedor went right down the middle look at Lazarus yeah yeah just probably a millisecond to stand his ground a bit he certainly got near and he is disappointed with himself once he went down that middle yeah he should have saved it and the drama continues this is Bradford make up Bradford make up make up Bradford this is a huge kick for this young man a lot of deliberation wow well he puts his fingers to his lips and I was worried for him at a point they're calling because normally when a penalty kicker takes that long to execute normally means he's having second thoughts but there's no second thoughts in that one no Michael Bradford did well yeah he did well sent Morris the other way puts his fingers to his lips I'm not sure I'm not sure he was thinking with that confidence before he kicked it because there was some long deliberation now this is where you go down to players that normally don't want to kick Colin when you get to seven eight nine this is a substitute here substitute Ford it's had a good tournament as well for yep he has let's have a look oh boy oh boy oh boy Lazarus you can't believe he's missed that one as well oh boy he should have stopped that one you could see him really decide himself he should have stopped it but again Colin he gets down quite early and over stretches past the ball I think Colin he's deciding to go early choosing his corner and not necessarily reacted which is what you are supposed to do as a goalkeeper but I think maybe just maybe Colin he's going a tad bit too well on we go it's five all this is Cooper this is a difficult one oh boy kick that's a really good kick six five so Cooper makes his way back yeah that's a good kick by the big man at the back it's a lot of power in it try to give the goalkeeper Morris the eyes Morris got there but he left without the ball now Colin up to here would it looks like I'm here would get past Lazarus it could feel the tension again another player who's had a very good Coca-Cola integral here would it's got to beat that man in goal presentation captain is here would six all well I tell you what Colin I am just really impressed by how well these young men are holding their news because this is a good penalty kick there's no doubt about it here would sizes Lazarus up went high and in the corner and using your words Colin not many goalkeepers can get to that exceptional kick in similar vein to the Arena North and San Juan North game we're getting on to the end of the kickers well it's Pemberton now oh boy that's a good kick yeah set the goalkeeper the wrong way this is another good kick yeah dips his shoulder to the left and goes to his left as well Morris defeated this time well Lazarus have had two close calls so far Colin in his anticipation and saving a penalty is this to a time lucky for Lazarus well it's Dunbar let's see what he can do Dunbar against Lazarus I don't think presentation college have wanted the difficult way yeah they have and that man in gold Daniel Lazarus we talked about him he's made the difference here today I saved three penalties but one in normal time and two in regulation time well the last one missed but yeah he was the difference with me well the stutter step I'm not sure about but Lazarus was on the corner he stopped at it stopped his progress and running and should be told Colin maybe that kick should have been taken because it's certainly not a regulation could never the less man they've been hugged Lazarus is the man and take nothing away from San Anthony's College because they have been exceptional throughout this tournament they have been they're very very unfortunate to lose this way and that young man Wilson right you feel for him because he's been really a tremendous player for them throughout this tournament and you
