تبطّه آدك الأيام فتّى وتنحى كما قلت أسوأ كل الحوادث مبداها من النظري ومعظم النار من مستسغر الشرري كم نظرة فتكت في قلب صاحبها فتك السيام بلا قوس ولا وتري every event مبداها its beginning is from what من النظري looking ومعظم النار and the majority of the fire is what من مستسغر الشرري it is the belittled evil a lot of the things that people enter the hellfire is because something they belittled كم نظرة how many looks فتكت في قلب صاحبها it ripped it attacked the heart of a person فتك السيام بلا قوس ولا وتري like the attack an arrow which is without a bow but we have to really understand the looking is of types and they are not all of one level the first type is that which is haram a looking which is haram and that is the first type and that is what the author means here the author when he was saying تحتدي he is talking about what is haram which is looking at a woman or a person who is a foreigner from you and you don't need to look at her and there is no need for you to look at her the second one is it is actually recommended that you do this looking and this is يريد أن يتزوجها وغالب على ظنه إجابته أيمان looks at a woman in which she wants to get married to and he has a high assumption that she is going to accept him he said that the prophet جابر said that the messenger إذا خطب أحدكم المرأة if one of you wants to get married to a woman فإن استطاع ينظر إلى ما يدعوه إلى نكاحها فليفعل if he is able to look at that which will call him to marry her then he should do it وطبت مراءة he said I wanted to get married to a woman and so this is what I did فكنت أتخبأ لها I was hiding from her in a place where she could not see me حتى رأيت منها until I saw from her ما دعاني إلى نكاحها I saw from her that which called me to marry her فتزوجت to her and so I married her I would have narrated this hadith ومحمد also narrated in his Sunan now the scholars they differed on this issue now here which is that the hadith says looking at the woman that which will call you to marry her what does that mean and what is the limit because when you look at the statement of Jabir رضي الله تعالى عنه he also said I looked at her to that which will allow me to say to myself yes I would do want to marry her and so what is it that a person can say I will look at her that which will call allow me to marry her this is where the scholars differed on some scholars they said إلى وجهها وكفيها فقط it is that the person looks at her her face and her palms and that is a رواية ومحمد and another رواية also he said له النظر it is permissible for him to look at إلى ما يظهر منها غالبا إلى ما يظهر منها غالبا he is allowed to look at that which becomes apparent from her the majority of the times what does that mean it means her face كل وجهها face ورقبها هنك هنك will show وليدينيها 2 hands والقدمينيها 2 feet and this is something that when a woman is at home these are the things that will be seen from her and it is also permissible for him to look at her more than once ويجوز له أن يكرر النظر إليها he is allowed to look at her more than once and he is allowed to observe her beauty and analyze her with her permission and also without her permission but he is not allowed to be alone with her as the Prophet ﷺ told us that a man who is alone with a woman الشيطان is the third so the place that he is doing it from is a place where he is not with her but he is seeing her from somewhere outside so here it tells you that you don't have to take permission from her القسم الثالث the third type of looking which is before I move into the third one the reason is not to take permission from her is better is because the man will see the woman in her real state and the way that she really is now if this is the at the time of the Sahabas where there was no surgery like the way it is right now the cosmetic medical treatments that women go through and the kind of changes they put themselves through or the things that they do to their faces with the makeup that can be very deceitful when the man sees her in that state where she is not aware of it it gives him a good understanding of what woman he is going to marry because after the day of the marriage in the morning when he wakes up this is the person who is going to wake up and see so the Sharia doesn't want him and her to bounce from each other and for him to say to her I don't want to be married to you anymore because when I first saw you this is how you looked so they both can stay together but what also needs to be remembered is that the man who looks at the woman when when there is a high assumption that this matter is going to go through and that is going to but not that a man says he is looking at every woman and then he says oh I want to get married this is not what the Hadith is referring to or speaking about now the third type of looking أنظر المباح أنظر المباح the permissible looking مباح means here you don't get a reward for it nor do you get a sin for it what did we say يستوي فيه الطرفان the two sides are equal the reward and the sinning are both equal meaning none of them take place and this is the look which is when a man suddenly looks at a woman unintentionally he did not intend to look at her and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as Imam Abu Dawid narrated in his Sunan Imam Muhammad narrated in his Muslim narrated it in his Jamiah also that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تتبع النظرة أنظر لا تتبع مع النظر فإن لك الأولى يعني أنك لم تقلل لها وليس لك الأخر أمال الأخير ليس لك يعني أنك تنظر again أيضا ما هو النظرة أنظر المباح أن يجب أن يجب أن يجب أن

يرسل تلوكش موچس حرام ويحرم بهت واغتياب النميمة وإفشاء سر ثم لعن مقيد وفحش ومكر والبذا وخديعة وسخرية والهزء جاء مشددي الشيخ قال ويحرمو it is حرام بهت بهت is حرام بهت as جوهري said in الصحاح the word is بهت تهو بهت وبهتانا فهو بهت it's when you say about a person قال عليه ما لم يفعله it's when you say about somebody that which they have not did to say about somebody that which they have not did this is called what بهتان البهتان it is that which you say about a person in which they have not said and it's lying it is lying and it's not permissible it's forging a statement against a person and lying about them in the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he told us that lying and the serious consequences which it has the prophet said عليهكم ستق be truthful فإن الستق يهدي إلى البر because truthfulness leads to righteousness والبر and righteousness يهدي إلى الجنة it will lead you to paradise وما يزالوا الرجل يصدقوا ويتحر الصدقى حتى يكتب عند الله صديقة and a person does not continuously stick to being truthful and holding on to truthfulness until he is written in the eyes of Allah and he is written as a truthful one وياكم والكذب and stay away from lying فإن الكذب يهدي إلى الفجور lying will lead you to transgressions and it will lead you to becoming a disobedient individual and فجور it will lead you to it will lead you to the fire and a person is not continuous in lying and he keeps doing this evil act of lying until he is written as a liar أبو زرعة الرازي ستو إمام وحمد one day ستو إمام وحمد إبن حمل كيف تخلصت من سيف المعتصمي وصوط الواثق أبو زرعة الرازي ستو إمام وحمد كيف تخلصت من

وإن كان كذبا سمي بوهتان is to speak about somebody behind their back to say about them that which is that which will anger them if you were to say to them it will distress them even if it's truthful it's called back biting and if you lie about it then that is بوهتان أبوه ريرا said that the Prophet ﷺ said أتدرونه من غيبه do you know what back biting is صحابه بزدي he said only Allah is messing with him no the Prophet ﷺ said ذكروك أخاك بما يكره it is to say about your brother that which he dislikes صحابه بزدي he said what about if it's in my brother that which I'm saying about him what about if he is what I'm saying about him the Prophet ﷺ said even if it's in him that which you're saying about him فقد اختبته you have back biting him and if what you're saying about him isn't present in him then what you have done is بوهتان you have forged against him that which he has not said or done and الله تبارك وطعاله prohibited from us ها الله تبارك وطعاله prohibited from us to back bite one another he said do not back bite one another and الله تبارك وطعاله وصول السيد ولا تقف ما ليس لك به علم إن السمعة والبصر والفؤادة كل أولئك كان عنه مسؤولة that we don't speak about that which we don't have knowledge of because our hearing our seeing and our hearts all of them الله تبارك وطعاله is responsible of them and that we are going to be accounted for it the day of judgment the messenger ﷺ has said إن حديثه أبي برزة الأسلمي إما محمد نريتر إنا بداود إما محمد أنا بداود نريتر إذا دا فرفس ريام عشرة من آمن بلسانه ولم يدخل الإيمان وفي قلبه لا تختاب الناس ولا تتبعوا عوراتهم فإنه من يتبع عوراتهم تتبع الله عورته ومن تتبع الله عورته يفضح في بيته the prophet said those of you who believe he man has entered their hearts don't back bite your Muslim brothers don't back bite the people do not follow their shortcomings for verily anyone who follows the shortcomings of the people الله تمرك و تعالى will follow up your shortcomings and anyone who Allah follows up his shortcomings Allah will embarrass you even in your household things that you do behind closed doors privately it will be out in the open you will be exposed six times back biting is permissible there are six places where back biting is permissible الإمام النووي إنه كتاب الرياضي الصالحين إمام النووي إنه كتاب رياضي الصالحين he chapted in his كتاب رياضي الصالحين he chapted in it بابو ما يباحوا من الغيبة he said the chapter the back biting which is permissible أبحمد الغزالي and also أب الفتح البعلي they also mentioned these six times when it's permissible تباك بايت so it's something that the scholar has mentioned the first one is a person who is oppressed المتظلم يذكروا ظلم الغاليم عند السلطان ليدفع ظلمه a person who has been oppressed he mentions the oppression that he was put through in the presence of the the judge so the oppression can be repelled and it can be pushed away from him so he's going to have to speak about his brother in a very bad light the second one is the one who backbites so he can change an evil he's backbiting because he wants to change an evil number three is the one who calls a scholar a Mufti and he wants to ask him a question about a matter like when Hindak came to the Prophet ﷺ and she said إن أبا سوفيان رجل شحيح my husband is a stingy individual he doesn't give this is all permissible for her because she needs to know an Islamic ruling on this particular matter number four warning the Muslims from an evil of a person so you're scared a person may fall into the trap of this individual you're allowed to warn him or her from this individual and at this particular moment it is permissible for you to speak ill against this individual in order to warn a Muslim from it number five the person is well known for this name the name huh he has a name which is kind of backbiting are you with me such as the name أعمش you see a person may have a name but the name may not be a good thing but this is his name and he's known for this so we're allowed to call it by that name the sixth one is this person is out and about when it comes to their own shortcomings and their sins he talks about his own shortcomings out in the open at this particular moment because he has brought it out in the open he's allowed to be spoken about it or said about it it is permissible to say about it regarding him then the sheikh said also نميمة نميمة is also prohibited نميمة means it means tail bearing نميم is tail bearing it basically means you're going around and telling people huh so and so say this about you so and so say this about you so and so say this about you is also the word قتات is also the same and قساف it's the same as the meaning of نمام and نمام is the one who does the tail bearing the Prophet ﷺ told us in the حليث Imam Al-Bukhari and the Muslim both narrated it that the Prophet ﷺ said لا يدخل الجنة قتات the one who does نميمة he will not enter Jannah he will not enter Jannah it's a very severe issue وإفشاء وصرن also what is prohibited is to spread a secret that a person entrusted with you وإفشاء وصرن to spread a secret the word افشاء means it comes from the word فشاء الخبر يفشو فشو ود اذاعة is when you announce it out in the open الله تبارك وتعالى he set us in the Qur'an ووفوا بالعاهدي إن العاهد كان مسؤولة fulfill the vows and the oaths that you make because you're going to be responsible for the oaths that you make the Prophet ﷺ said إن من أشر الناس منزلة عند الله يوم القيامة the one who has the severe punishment in station the day of judgment is the man يُفضي إلى امرأة he will have sexual intimacy with his wife you see وتفضي إليه ثم ينشرها ثم ينشر سرها and then he goes out and about and he tells that which he has done with her or the vice versa the woman does that she has a relationship with her husband and she goes out to the public and she tells the people how her relationship between her and her husband is but the hadith mentions she spreads the secret the secret because this is meant to be a matter that no one should know about it's a secret and it stays as a secret أبو بكر رضي الله تعالى عنه عمر came up to him one day and he presented his daughter حفصة to عمر رضي الله تعالى أبو بكر عمر presented his daughter حفصة to أبو بكر أبو بكر did not give him a reply meaning did not accept or did not give him a response after a period of time the Prophet married حفصة أبو بكر صوت عمر and he set him لعلك وجد تعالى عمر رضي الله تعالى عمر رضي الله عمر رضي الله تعالى ك وجد تعالى حين عرثت تعالى حفصة فلم أرجع إليك شيئا you probably had something towards me when you presented your daughter حفصة to me and I never gave you a reply you got upset somehow with me العمر صليس I did and then أبو بكر set to him فإنه لم يمنعني nothing prevented me and أرجع إليك nothing prevented me from coming back to you and that which you said to me but فيما عرثت علي except إلا أنني كنت علمت أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكرها فلم أقول لأفشية سر رسول الله I knew the Prophet عسلم was mentioning her that he wanted to get married to her and I was not one who wanted to spread the Prophet's secret so spreading a secret that a person entrusted with you is a very bad evil act أناس رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the Prophet came to me one time أتاء إليه رسول الله وأنه ألعب مع الغلمان the Prophet said I was playing with young boys and the Prophet came to Anais فسلم علينا he gave us Salam فبعتني في حاجة and the Prophet pulled Anais to the side he told him to do something for him فأبطأتوا علي فأبطأتوا علي أمي فلما جئتوا قالت ما حبسك أناس دين said I came late to my mother and so my mother asked me what is it that imprisoned you why were you late for he said بعثني رسول الله في حاجة the Prophet said me to a duty he wanted me to do something for him his mother said to him what was it that he wanted from me I said to my mother إنها سرر it was a secret قالت she said to me لا تخبر بسرر رسول الله أحدة do not tell the secret of the Prophet to anyone أناس منو ماليك he said to his slave boy ثابت البناني he said to him والله لو حدثت بي أحد اللي حدثتك لو حدثت لو حدثت بي أحد لحدثتك به يا ثابت if I was to tell any individual I would have informed you أو ثابت ابن عبد البر he narrated in his book بهجة المجالس that the Prophet said من سرر إلى أخيه سرر anyone who tells his brother a secret or his sister a secret لم يحل له أن يفشيه أن يفشيه علي it is not permissible for him to go out and spread the news or the secret that was given to you the Prophet said anyone who tells his Muslim brother or sister a secret it is not permissible for the one who has told the secret to go out and to tell the secret العباسم عبد المطالب who is the Prophet العباسم عبد المطالب who is the Prophet عبد المطالب he said to his son عبد الله من العباس he said to his own son عبد الله يا بناية my son إني أرى I see أمير المؤمنين يدنيك I see that عمر من خطاب he is bringing you closer meaning he really sees you as a good person he loves you and he brings you close in his gatherings عبد المطالب فحف عني ثلاثا memorize three things for me I mean take these three things for me and do it the first one is لا تفشينا لا تفشينا سرا لا تفشينا سرا do not spread a secret he told you ولا تغتابنا أحدا and do not backbite anyone ولا يطلعنا منك على كنيبة and do not also let him see from you a lie and do not let him see from you a lie we will stop there إن شاء الله


Hello, this is Jessica Cody and Anila Patel. Today, we will be exploring Google Expeditions. It is an app that can be used to take virtual reality field trips right from the comfort of your home or your classroom. Before we get started, don't forget to subscribe and hit that bell to enable notifications for our channel by clicking our logo during the video. Also, leave us a comment or check out our related videos by clicking the pop-up cards in the upper right corner. Here's how to get started with Google Expeditions. With Google Expedition, you can take a field trip virtually anywhere without leaving your classroom. We're going to look at Google Expeditions today, but the very first thing you have to remember to do is install the app on your device. Google Expedition will only work on a mobile device, such as an iPhone, an iPad, an Android phone or a tablet, or a Chromebook. There is no web-based version of Google Expedition. So once you have installed the app either through the App Store or Google Play Store, then you're ready to go. I've already downloaded my app, so I'm going to go ahead and open them up. So this right here is my teacher side. I'm going to open my teacher side. And this right here is my student side. Open my student side and we're ready to go. As you can see, they look identical. But once we get logged in and get going, you're going to see how the teacher side is very different than the student side. Before we get started, there is a very important point to remember. The most important thing to remember is that you and your students must be on the same Wi-Fi network for Google Expedition guided tours to work. So if you're having issues where a student can't find your guided tour, check your Wi-Fi network to make sure you're on the same network. That's usually a quick solve for that problem. So let's take a look at how to travel the world without leaving your computer. So as you can see, on my right side here, it's the teacher view. And on the left side, you'll see the student view. Now again, they look identical right now. On the teacher side, I'm going to sign in to guide tours because I want to guide a tour today. I want to guide my students through an expedition. So I'm going to sign in and I'm going to use my g.orycountyschools login to sign in. You can use any Gmail account. It has to be a Gmail. But if you are using this through orycountyschools, you can use your g.account. And then I've logged in, so I'm going to go ahead and hit Got it. So I'm good. Now on the student side, if you want your students to sign in, they can, they don't have to sign in to just follow your tour. So right now, we're just going to continue without signing in. But again, you can have them sign in if you want them to. It's not they can sign in using their g.account. But again, unless they are actually guiding a tour, there is no need for them to sign in. So I'm going to continue without signing in.  And I'm going to press class because they want to go to the class. I'm going to click. Let's look at the teacher side again to choose a place to visit. So you can see on the student side again, it's telling us to hang tight. On the teacher side, you're going to see a dashboard. There are many of the popular tours on this dashboard or you can search for a tour. So if there's a specific tour that fits your curriculum, a place that you're studying, if you're studying architecture from a particular place or a time period, you can search up here. You can even do this part beforehand and download your favorite tours to your library. So you won't have to search later. So I'm going to search for a tour. I'm going to click up here and I'm going to search for the Great Wall of China. So you can see how my tours started to really narrow down as I started typing. Right here, the Great Wall of China has four scenes. And then there's another one that says the Seven Wonders of the World and that has seven scenes. So my assumption is that the Great Wall of China is in this expedition as well. I'm going to click on the one that just says the Great Wall of China. So I'm going to click it and I'm actually going to download to view or guide. So you want to download it to your computer and this again will sit in your library for you to use at any point. So it's downloading right now. And now I have downloaded it to my library. I want to show you where it will sit. So I'm going to exit it here for just a minute. I want to show you where it will sit if you are on your home screen and wanted to access this later. It's right here in my library. I'm going to click library and there it is, the Great Wall of China. So I've downloaded the Great Wall of China and again this tells me that the Great Wall of China has four scenes to explore. I'm going to click it and I want to guide this tour. So once I open this expedition, I want to click on guide. Now if you're not guiding and you just want to explore the scenes, then you can click on view. If you have a set of VR goggles and a little iPod or iPhone to put in your goggles, you can click view in VR. But I'm going to guide this tour because I want my students to be on this expedition with me. So I'm going to click guide and I'm almost ready to go. OK, so just a minute. So as you can see, it's pulling up my tour. Once I click guide, a couple of things will happen on the teacher side. So you notice a box appeared with your name. So right there is my name. Make sure that's correct because this is what the kids will see. Now let's have your students join your tour on the student side. You're going to notice that a box appeared with the expedition and with your name. Now, if the kids do not see your tour, there's a couple of things that you can check. One, make sure that they've clicked the little class button down here. The second thing to make sure is that they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network issue. Again, like I said at the beginning, that's one of the biggest issues that students have when they don't see your guided tours, that they're on a different Wi-Fi network. So you're going to have the students join your tour. So once they've joined, they're going to be asked to hold on. And that's your cue now to start the tour. Your tour will not start if until you press start on the teacher side. So once I start the tour, watch what happens on the teacher side and on the student side. So just keep your eyes on both sides here. I'm going to click start on the teacher side and I'm going to hit comment here. Okay, there you go. So if you look at the teacher side and the student side, the same scene is on both sides. But there's a few differences to the teacher side than the student side. So now that I have the students connected, I can start my tour. I want you to look at this from both views as a student and as a teacher. Because on the teacher view, the teacher view has a few items that will make monitoring and guiding your tour effortless. The first thing to notice is on the top right-hand corner, you'll see how many students have joined your tour. I only have one student that's joined my tour today. So up here, you can see that there's a little number one. Along with the number on the teacher side, you should see a smiley face. That is the student. So wherever the student moves on their screen, the smiley face should move on your screen. So let's look at the student screen here. I'm going to let them tell my students, okay, just take a second to explore the Great Wall of China. So as you can see on the teacher side, that smiley face is moving to wherever my students go. Now I only have one student, so there's only one number and one smiley face. If you have 10 to 20 students, you'll see that number up here and you'll see that many smiley faces scattered amongst your seat. So it's a great way to make sure that all of your kids have joined your tour. If you want your students to look at a particular item on the scene, there's a drawing tool that'll help you guide them to whatever you want them to look at. So just say, I want my students to look at these people right here on my side.  And then you're going to notice on the student side, whatever I drew on my teacher side appears. Let me finish the circle. There we go. You can hit reset up here to delete and it deletes from both sides. Another tool to help guide me through my tour are the notes and questions. So every single scene in every single expedition has this feature. If you click down here, you're going to see that there are detailed notes. So every expedition has detailed information and questions at every level. So beginner, intermediate and advanced level to help you guide the students through the tour and to make sure that they're getting information, that they're engaged and that they're listening. Earlier we saw that this particular expedition had four scenes. So when I'm ready to take my students to the next scene, I'm going to pause my tour. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to click this pause button and you're going to see on the student side that they're paused so they can't do anything right now. They're just they're waiting and I'm going to take them to the next scene on the Great Wall of China tour. So it's right here. If you just go to the next, if you look down here, you can toggle in between all of the scenes. I'm going to click the start button on my next scene and it starts on their end. So you can see that their scene is identical to what I have on my screen. I can take my time exploring this scene, guiding my students through this particular scene, looking at the architecture, looking at the landscape or my students could take time exploring on their own. My notes are there. My questions are there at every level. So beginner, intermediate, advanced. And then when I'm ready to move on to my next scene, I'm going to again press pause and toggle to the next scene. So as you can see, it's very easy to move from scene to scene in Google expeditions. Now, if I want to leave this tour and start a completely different expedition with my students, obviously, it's very easy to do that. I'm going to just X out here.  I am going to X out of there. I'm going to use the back arrow and I'm going to search for another tour. This is where your pre-planning will really come in handy.  But searching for tours is not that difficult as well. Let's leave China and go to Egypt. I'm going to go to ancient Egypt right here. Five scenes. So again, I'm going to download because we always want to download the tour. It won't let you guide the tour without downloading it. And downloading doesn't take all that long. So again, I'm going to guide my tour. My students are already connected to my tour. So it should be no problem just to switch over to a new guided tour. Now, if you're starting brand new, obviously, you're going to have them join your tour again. Got it. Now there's the Nile River. You can look at the rulers of Egypt, which is really cool. Egyptian religion and building the pyramids. This one has five scenes. So there's an inside the tomb. This one's always a hit with the kids. I'm going to click start. And you're going to notice on the kids side, it brought them to my tour. We're going to explore the inside of a tomb. They can look at hieroglyphics. They can look at mummification. And again, the smiley face is moving as my students are moving. There are notes for you to read on the teacher side and so on. So as you can see, there are so many ways to use Google Expeditions to explore the world and take a VR field trip without even leaving the classroom. Thanks for watching.

Y Llywyddyn have a thank you. We start with general questions this morning. Question number one, Willie Coffey. To ask the Scottish Government how it is tackling poverty, including fuel poverty, in the Comarnock and Irving Valley constituency. Cabinet secretary, Angela Constance. The Scottish Government is taking action to tackle poverty across all of Scotland with the resources and powers available to us. The Fairer Scotland Action Plan sets out 50 concrete actions that we will take over this parliamentary term to deliver on our ambitions for a fairer Scotland. Tackling fuel poverty has always been a priority for this Government, and by the end of 2021 we will have committed over £1 billion to making our homes and buildings warmer and cheaper to heat. We have also committed to introducing a warm home bill to tackle fuel poverty. We do not hold figures for constituency areas, but the Scottish Government's fuel poverty and energy efficiency programmes have spent approximately £23 million in improving domestic energy efficiency and tackling fuel poverty across the three Ayrshire council areas since 2012. Willie Coffey. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer and welcome that substantial additional investment that she mentioned there to tackle that. I do hope that that will mean a significant extra investment in my constituency. On top of the existing measures that we have brought in to help those in fuel poverty, is the cabinet secretary able to say when she might be able to respond to the strategy group's recommendation to change the definition of fuel poverty so that we can do more where it is required? The fuel poverty strategy group and the rural fuel poverty working group between them made 100 recommendations, which is a Government that we are currently working through. On the specific issues that are in and around the change to fuel poverty and the definition of fuel poverty, we will work closely with the fuel poverty forum to agree the scope of the review, and we will commission that work as soon as possible. We expect the review to be completed within the first half of next year, but I want to be clear that that does not mean that we will define fuel poverty away, and any changes that come out of the independent review must be justified and ensure that those in need receive the most support. To ask the Scottish Government if it recognises the importance of the third sector in tackling issues like poverty, organisations like centre stage, modern day services, the holiday project and East Ayrshire Church's homelessness action to name but a few in the Comarnac and Northern Valley constituency. Will the Scottish Government ensure that East Ayrshire Council and the councils across Scotland are properly funded so that they in turn can ensure that those vital charities in our communities are fully supported? I thank Mr Little for his question. We certainly do recognise the importance of the third sector in tackling poverty, and I would like to commend centre stage for the very innovative and person-centred work that they do. I know that Ms Freeman has recently visited that particular project. As a Government, we have invested £24 billion this financial year in the third sector. It is imperative that local government and the third sector work together and collaborate. In terms of fuel poverty, there is some great innovation in the social enterprise sector that involves registered social landlords and housing associations in particular. I point to the example of our power, which is a social enterprise led by a housing association that is supplying power and energy to its tenants, saving hundreds of tenants, hundreds of pounds a year. That is another sterling example along with centre stage. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on how it will take forward plans to establish a national manufacturing institute. Scotland has a proud manufacturing heritage, and manufacturing has a potential to be a key driver of our future prosperity through global exports. The creation of a national manufacturing institute for Scotland is an ambitious proposal that is aimed at shaping the future of manufacturing and innovation in Scotland. As stated in a plan for Scotland, the Scottish Government's programme for government 2016-17 will be a key action for this year that will be developing the business case for the national manufacturing institute for Scotland. We have taken a multi-partner approach that includes Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish funding councils, Skills Development Scotland, Zero Waste Scotland and the Scottish Government. In developing the business plan for the institute, and this work includes building an evidence base and working closely with the private sector on the detail of the proposition. Clare Haughey. I thank the cabinet secretary for his answer. My constituency of Rutherglen has a wide range of family-run and medium-sized manufacturing businesses, including sackmakers, switchboard and electrical manufacturers, ventilation products and food manufacturers, to name a few. It is also home to the Shawfield business park, which is currently being developed by Clyde Gateway as part of the national business strategy. Has the Government considered a location for the national manufacturing institute? If not, can I suggest that Rutherglen is the perfect location? I listen carefully to what the member says and the excellence of some of the activity that is on-going in Rutherglen, but I should say that, as part of developing the business case for a new manufacturing institute for Scotland, options for the centre's location will be considered as part of that business case process. However, wherever the institute is located, we are determined, of course, that it will be for the benefit for the whole of Scotland. I listen closely to what the member said. Richard Leonard Thank you, Presiding Officer. The Government's manufacturing action plan, which was published early this year, also promised, among other things, an enhanced manufacturing advisory capital asset survey, by quarter 2 2016 and by quarter 3, that Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Isles Enterprise would have implemented a workplace innovation service aimed at workforce engagement. Can the cabinet secretary inform Parliament where those initiatives lie? Yes, I can, and I thank Richard Leonard for the question. On 18 March, Zeroway Scotland launched, first of all, the £18 million circular economy fund for business. On 1 June, the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service launched a new capital asset review service to which Richard Leonard referred. Also, on 22 August, Scottish Enterprise launched a new workplace innovation service. You can see that we are making real progress on that in trying to revitalise and assist where possible manufacturing in Scotland. Thank you. We welcome the plans to establish a national manufacturing institute. We hope that it helps to improve Scotland's productivity from the current levels in the third quartile. Can the cabinet secretary please tell me when will he announce new targets for Scottish productivity going forward? Once again, it would be useful when we have questions from the Conservatives if they could at least acknowledge that there are two Governments active in the economy in Scotland, a point that has been denied in the past by Dean Lockhart and others. There are two Governments involved in this, and sometimes to have some reference to the role and perhaps some of the shortcomings of the UK Government's involvement in the economy would be useful. However, it is important that we keep on the review productivity. We have seen an increase in Scotland, which we have not seen in the rest of the UK, in terms of productivity. In addition to that, as part of phase 2 of the review of the skills and enterprise agencies, we will look very closely at future targets and performance measures in relation to productivity. To ask the Scottish Government when it last met South Lanarkshire Council and what issues were discussed. Ministers and officials regularly meet the leaders and chief executives of all Scottish local authorities, including South Lanarkshire Council, to discuss a variety of issues. Senior officials attended the board meeting of South Lanarkshire community planning partnership on 27 October, along with the council's chief executive. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. It suggests that the cabinet secretary may be at further meetings at town centre regeneration and should be a focus of some of the work that the Government does along with local authorities. Angela Crawley MP and I have published a report on a consultation on Hamilton Town Centre. One of the recommendations is a discrete town centre business bonus scheme to encourage new business and sustain existing business. Can I ask the cabinet secretary what financial levers councils can use to promote economic development and therefore regenerate town centres like Hamilton? I am sure that Ms McKelvie is aware that the small business bonus scheme already reduces non-domestic rates for more than two in every five rateable properties across Scotland. As a Government, we have a commitment to expand the scheme from 2017 so that it lifts 100,000 properties out of rates altogether. There is also the new powers that councils have under the Community Empowerment Act to apply further rate reductions to any properties in their area. Perth and Conross Council is using the power this year to support its town centres. The Scottish Government's town centre action plan remains a key driver of action across Government that sets the right conditions for town centre regeneration in Scotland. My final point is that we have been very encouraged by the approach taken by local authorities and wider public bodies to the town centre first principle since its inception. It is good to see that town centres are being prioritised in public investment decisions, leading to positive change. The minister may be aware that data protection has been cited as the reason why some councils, such as South Lanarkshire, have made the decision to remove the displays of residents' names from the foyers of tower blocks such as Wailer Tower. Residents, however, wish their names in some cases to be displayed in order to aid deliveries and for routine emergency or doctor visits. Does the minister therefore consider that those residents, in order to comply with that protection, should be given the option of having their names displayed and that they should perhaps be part of their tenancy agreement? I think that that is a very interesting point raised by Ms Mitchell. We have to listen to the needs of residents and the member has outlined some very practical reasons why people would want their names displayed outside their own home. In particular, she has cited doctors doing emergency calls to assist the ambulance service. I will certainly look into the issue that she raises in and around data protection and to look at where a resolution lies, whether that lies at local level or within the Scottish Government's gift. To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has had with tenant farmers and their representatives. Presiding Officer, the Scottish Government has frequent contact with tenant farmers and their representatives on a wide range of issues. I attend personally a large number of events, particularly farming shows over the summer where I meet and have discussions with tenant farmers on a variety of topics. More specifically, I met the Scottish Tenant Farmers Association on 27 July to discuss tenant farming matters, including mediation, and I met them again this morning. I have met representatives from the NFU Scotland on 4 August, 5 September, 17 October and 9 November to discuss various matters. I met Andrew Thin, the interim adviser on tenant farming on 29 August. Tenant farmers were also represented at the last CEP stakeholder group that I attended and will be invited to attend rural summits that I am due to hold, including on farming and food production. Throughout this time, Scottish Government officials have also had substantive significant contact with tenant farmers and their representatives on a range of matters. Andy Wightman Thank you for that answer. As you are probably aware, Presiding Officer, this was not my original question, which I was advised by breach rule 7.5 of standing orders. Two weeks today, tenant farmers' families will be evicted. We are in a situation where, because of the Scottish Government's failure to honour its own commitments to tenant farmers' facing eviction, they have had to take ministers to court and I now cannot as a consequence fulfil my parliamentary role of holding the Government to account for its actions. Will the cabinet secretary explain how we got into this situation? Will he commit to emergency legislation to halt these evictions pending proper mediation and compensation? Will he join me at 1 pm to meet the tenant farmers affected outside Parliament and to receive a petition signed by 25,000 people calling for a halt to the eviction of the Patterson family on Arran? Before the cabinet secretary answers the question, Mr Wightman is referring to standing orders that refer to the subjudice rule. There is an active on-going court case at the moment and Parliament must be mindful not to interfere in judicial proceedings. Having said that, cabinet secretary. I am mindful of those words and advice and I understand that I am not permitted to make comment on these matters because legal proceedings are active in relation to a matter as prescribed in section 2 of the Contempt of Cortact 1981. Therefore, I am constrained in what I may say about any matter that is subject to the current litigation. However, I can say to the member and every member in this chamber that as the rural secretary I am extremely keen to do everything we possibly can to help tenant farmers and indeed all farmers in the community and see a thriving, tenanted sector. I can assure all members that, following the resolution of the litigation, which prevents a more direct response on those matters, the Scottish Government will consider the outcome of that litigation with great care. No doubt, we will come back to this house as swiftly as we possibly can. Kenneth Gibson Does the cabinet secretary agree that, while tenancy arrangements between landlords and tenants are private, in rural communities such as those in Arnett, it is in everyone's interests for the land to be found productively, sustainably and effectively, and for those tenant farmers committed to food production, business diversification and land management to enjoy stability and security of tenure? While the cabinet secretary cannot talk about the cases currently in court, what general advice can he give to landlords and tenants who find themselves in dispute? Yes, I think that Mr Gibson makes the point very well. I hope that all members across the chamber and all parties will subscribe to the sentiments that he has expressed, namely that we wish all of us wished to see a thriving agricultural sector. That includes new entrants, crofters, smallholders, tenant farmers, owner occupiers or indeed landlords. And a vibrant tenant farming sector is one of the cornerstones of Scottish agriculture. In direct response to the question about what advice I would offer, I would point out that the Scottish Government has provided mediation services. Those are a matter, an entirely private matter, between the tenant and landlords to contract. In those cases where there is a live dispute, I would of course urge both parties to avail themselves of those mediation services. That is general advice, which we have sought to apply in individual cases. John Scott Thank you, Presiding Officer, for declaring an interest as a farmer, although not a tenant farmer. The cabinet secretary will be aware of the declining supply of land to let in the tenant sector, as predicted by Alex Ferguson and others in past sessions of Parliament. Can he assure Parliament that the Land Reform Act 2016 will increase the supply of tenant to land so vital for new entrants to the industry? John Scott Well, I think that if I may say so, Mr Scott makes a very sensible point. I share that aspiration, as I hope do we all. I can inform him that I think it was just last week or the week before that I convened a meeting of all public bodies that have land holdings, obviously including the Forestry Commission, including bodies such as Scottish Natural Heritage and local authorities, with the specific remit of asking them to look at whether they have land within their land holdings, some of which could be made available for new entrants in future. It was an extremely positive meeting and I would be delighted to continue to work with Mr Scott and members across the chamber in securing an objective that I think we can all recognise as being in the interest of bringing in new entrants, not least because the average age of a farmer in Scotland, sadly, is 58, just one year less than my own age. Rhoda Grant Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can I ask the cabinet secretary if he is intending to amend the land reform legislation to make sure that those who should have security of tenure will have that going forward? The topic of land reform has been closely debated in this Parliament and I know that the member Rhoda Grant has taken a long-standing and passionate interest in this and I respect that. We are always looking at ways in which we can improve the legal framework in order to secure the objective of a thriving agricultural sector. I am able to state that the Scottish Government is starting to implement much-needed changes in that agricultural holding legislation. On Friday 11 November, the first SSIs will seek to implement aspects of the legislation last year. I will continue to work with the member and others across the chamber in further improving the legislation that is affecting our farmers. 6. Gordon MacDonald Scottish Government plans to tackle traffic congestion in the west of Edinburgh. The Scottish Government has invested significantly in major schemes in the west of Edinburgh that contribute to reducing congestion. That includes the £41 million Edinburgh Gateway station due to opening 11 December. Since 2014, we have provided grants for sustainable land and active travel with 14 active travel projects. Transport Scotland also works with the City of Edinburgh Council through the development plan process to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the road network. Gordon MacDonald I thank the minister for that answer. The A70 and A71 are the two main anterior routes into Edinburgh through my constituency. Over the last five years, there has been an 18 per cent increase in the number of buses, coaches and like goods vehicles using the A70 through the villages of Ballerno, Currie and Juniper Green in total, close to 45,000 vehicle journeys daily on those two main roads. With on-going house building in West Lothian and all commutable into Edinburgh, how can we encourage more use of public transport in order that communities along the route of the A70 and A71 are not further impacted by increased traffic congestion? The member makes a very good point indeed that congestion is affecting our urban areas and in that vein, officials are working closely with regional and local planning and transport authorities to undertake a cross boundary multimodal transport study. That will assess the impact of current and projected travel demand but also take into account some of those housing proposals in the local development plan that the member mentions. The current phase of the Edinburgh Glasgow improvement project electrification of the short lines will result in journey saving times and additional capacity. I have mentioned the Gateway Station, there are also opportunities in the transport bill and the upcoming transport bill to see how we can improve bus patronage and also deal with the issue of roadworks, which will also add to congestion issues. I will keep the member fully brief on that.


Hi, everybody. Hello. Everybody good? Yeah. We're very comfortable. It's super natural. This is very natural. Yeah. We do our best here. The potluck series was born in 2017. Myself and a couple other chefs did this potluck format. We're each chef brought to bear their own style without any real consideration for how the dishes worked together. What we tend to do is make a list of who we want to come cook with us and that's based on people we see out in the world doing great food. All right, so we're doing a potluck tonight. We are super lucky as a restaurant to be able to welcome chefs from elsewhere here. And some gentlemen, David Castro, a chef from Baja California, as well as Mexico City. Chef Curtis DeFidi is the chef of the Charter of Restaurant. Chef David John, David Hasnam in Salt Lake City. Chef Daisy Ryan from Bells. She's carving out her own world down there. Thank you for being here, Chef. When you're putting a menu together, what's like the jumping off point? What's the first thing that you're kind of considering? Start with what you're comfortable with. It doesn't need to be, you know, the ultimate from the very start. Be yourself or do what you believe in. I like what I like. And then I do would love to introduce to like two different cuisines like Japanese and Korean that are not as popular in our city or in the states. That was my main goal. And I have to plan a menu. Like I need to see the space to actually get some inspiration. You know what line I want to take. When you feel the place, when you feel if it's leather, if it's wood, what are going to be the materials. And then you find the inspiration. When we were starting to sort of conceptualize the Charter of Lake Ursae was very much a jumping off point. We knew going in that that was going to make up, you know, the bulk of what we were using in the kitchen. It was going to be sitting on the tables. There's a feeling of like timelessness and artisanship that I think crosses through both things. There's just a lot of synergy and seamlessly. All right. These chefs have taken time out of their very, very, very busy lives during a very busy time for all restaurants. We, I want to make sure that we are representing their food properly. Okay. Okay. Should we do this? We're ready? Yes.

If I'm late getting up here, I just had to finish the story. President Zia and Begum Zia, distinguished guests, it's an honor for me to welcome you to the White House this evening. Mr. President, our talks this morning underlined again the strong links between our countries. We find ourselves even more frequently in agreement on our goals and objectives. And we, for example, applaud your deep commitment to peaceful progress in the Middle East and South Asia, resolve which boasters our hopes and the hopes of millions. In the last few years, in particular, your country has come to the forefront of the struggle to construct a framework for peace in your region and undertaking which includes your strenuous efforts to bring peaceful resolution to the crisis in Afghanistan. A resolution which will enable the millions of refugees currently seeking shelter in Pakistan to go home in peace and honor. Further, you've worked to ensure that progress continues toward improving the relationship between Pakistan and India. And in all these efforts, the United States has supported your objectives and will applaud your success. A great intellectual forefather of Pakistan, Mohammed Iqbal, once said that the secret of life is in the seeking. President Zia today, the people of the United States and Pakistan are seeking the same goals. Your commitment to peace and progress in South Asia and the Middle East has reinforced our commitment to Pakistan. We want to assure you, Mr. President, and the people of your country that we will not waver in this commitment. Our relationship is deep and long-standing. It stretches back to Pakistan's first days of independence. It stretches forward as far as we can see. It's based on mutual interest, yes, but also on shared visions and goals in the world around us. It is based as well on the fact that the people of both our countries sincerely value the good relations and the affinity between us. Our people already work together in significant ways through educational exchanges, tourism, economic cooperation, and through bonds of family and friendship. We have cooperative programs in science and technology and in agriculture, and we hope to explore with the government of Pakistan various ways of enhancing cooperation. Differences may come between our nations or have come between our nations in the past, but they've proven to be transitory while the ties which bind us together grow stronger year by year. As we welcome you here tonight as the representative of your country and its people, we can say with confidence that those ties will continue to grow stronger and that the good will which exists between our two countries will prove to be both true and lasting. And Mr. President, I propose a toast to you, to the people of Pakistan and to the friendship that binds our nations together. Bismillah Rahman Rahim. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. We praise him and we send blessings on his honored messenger. Mr. President, Mrs. Reagan, Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, after hearing such an eloquent speech from Mr. President from you and having had such a sumptuous, so well presented in such a fine company, a meal that I would perhaps cherish for many years to come, I see very little that I can add to what you have very kindly said. But still, Mr. President, my wife and I, as well as the members of my delegation are most grateful to you, sir. For the honor you have done us in hosting this delightful banquet for us tonight. I have been deeply touched by the sentiments of your friendship that you have expressed towards me and my country, which I most warmly reciprocate. Mr. President, the people of Pakistan are deeply committed to molding their lives and building their institutions in keeping with the dictates of Islam. Islam ordains upon its followers a belief in the equality and universal brotherhood of mankind. It was the dedication of your founding fathers, Mr. President, to similar ideals that created this great republic, the United States of America. Mr. President, your country has been called the melting pot of people from all over the world. This is a trait we share with you, though perhaps on a very smaller scale. Let me therefore take you back to Pakistan if I can. Herein lies the Indus Valley, which is the heartland of Pakistan. This valley has been a veritable thoroughfare throughout history. Untold millions representing all the major races of the Eurasian mass have made their way through our mountain passes to settle in or to pass through the Indus Valley. They came in all guises. They came as conquering hordes, as defeated or wandering tribes, as mystics and missionaries, as saints and sultans, and even as tourists and traders, both ancient and modern. And 35 years ago, Mr. President, many millions of Muslims of the South Asian subcontinent came together to help build a dream called Pakistan. Thus we are indeed the heirs to a rich and varied if also somewhat turbulent region in our region. More than a fifth of the entire population of Pakistan has with the principles enunciated by the international community. The latest with the overwhelming support of the member states. There are other turbulences in our region, Mr. President. The war between Iran and Iraq continued to cause us profound concern and anguish. The situation calls for difficult yet courageous decisions. The most important of these time that the Arabs have put up a unified plan for the solution of the Palestine problem. Knowing your humane qualities, knowing you as a man of God, knowing you as a man of peace, I urge you not to leave this opportunity that has come in your way. I would request you to be yourself, to find the rest of you, and take this bold step because history will then remember you not only as Regan of the United States of America, but the Regan the peacemaker. The Regan who solved practically an insolvable problem. We in Pakistan, Mr. President, wish you to take this initiative and we wish you all the best and we will pray for your success. Earlier today in our personal discussions and in the talks including our colleagues, I had an opportunity to discuss these and other issues with you. I am deeply gratified by the manner in which you made clear your continuing and deep-felt interest in the welfare and prosperity of the people of Pakistan and your support for what we are doing. Confidence that with your acknowledged qualities of human understanding and with the high principle traditions of your country behind you, the United States will keep faith with its friends comprising of people who love peace and as you said about the United States of America that if this country has been created God must have ordained this to be a country of peace. Spread this America, Mr. President, to areas other than the United States of America. Let America be the torchbearer of peace. Peace not only on the American continent but peace in Afghanistan. Peace in Vietnam. Peace in Somalia and above all peace in Palestine. We wish you all the best in your endeavors and you will never find Pakistan is faltering. We will be there right behind you to give you the helping hand if you can at the moment that you wish us to do so. With these words may I request you ladies and gentlemen to join me in a toast to the health and happiness of President Reagan and his charming wife, Mrs. Nancy Reagan. The continued progress and prosperity of the people of the United States. The establishment of peace, stability and justice throughout the world. To the health and happiness of all friends, ladies and gentlemen who are present here tonight. And finally the continuing friendship between Pakistan and the United States of America. I thank you. And is the music commentator on the CBS Sunday Morning News. Her husband, Pinkus, is internationally known as a violinist. He's won a great many honors. More recently, he's won Grammy's awards in 1980 and 81. I remember those as good years. May Krugar, a pianist here, is widely known for his talent. He is a composer, a conductor, and as we have heard and seen tonight, a performer. And I think I speak for all of you when I say we're very grateful for these three for sharing their talent with us here tonight. Thank you.


You can find me online with H.P. Deng. I'm going to talk about my 10-year journey with First Asia. A little bit of background. I come from Vietnam, a city called Kento. It's about 170 kilometers out of Ho Chi Minh City. So 10-year journey. I want to talk first about my first 19 years from 1987 to 2006. So I labeled these periods in the period before fourth. And I don't remember so much about this time. But there are a few things that I would like to highlight here. The first thing is that my grandparents never gave me a birthday present, not me or my sister, because my father was the only son who did not have any son. So because of still the Chinese Asian mice, they more refer to have a grandson than a granddaughter. My parents never gave us a birthday present. The second thing is no weekends. My parents worked really hard. They never have a weekend off, so that my sister and I can have a proper education and better future. The third thing that I remember, I always want to enroll in a dance team in school. But actually not everyone is allowed to participate in this course. Only the people who have very good background from normal families, their parents have a good reputation. Then they got selected by the school to be the elite group of the school. So we don't get a chance to do the things that we like. My sister and I, we sometimes got bullied by the schoolboy, not something major, but we just don't feel comfortable around these people, but just as good. The second thing I remember, they always dreamed to travel outside of the country. And until I finished completing my university, I did not know what I want to do in life. So I did not figure out what would be the vision for my life. And then this is the period after I learned about fall 2007 until now. So I can buy myself a birthday present if I want to. I can buy 10 or 20, but I never did because it struck me to consume a lot of time. My parents now, they have a Sunday afternoon off, even though they don't need to work anymore, they're still really hardworking. I have my own team at Force Asia, and if I want to join any team, people are very welcome. Me on board. So I had my own opportunity and seen the past 12 years never got bullied by anyone in the community or anyone whom I work with. I don't dream of traveling anymore because basically I can just travel to anywhere I want. I have a live vision. I know exactly what I want to do and what I want to achieve in life. I want to go back a little bit about what happened in 2007. So that was the first time I learned about the idea of Force at a conference in Hanoi called Force Bridge. And then also in the same year, I switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu. I have the logo there originally, but maybe some people will not be happy so I called for the logo there, but this is the old logo of Ubuntu. And then I just want to emphasize here. So I was really impressed with Ubuntu because of the software manager. You can easily download an application, but it was not the only reason that engaged me into the open source community. It's not the software, but actually the people in the community I learned so much from the developers and I always really surprised how people can be devoted 20, 15 years of their time into one particular project and create something to be used by the entire world. So it is something that really got me inspired. And when I joined the community, everyone was really welcoming, and they don't look at me like that, okay, you don't know anything, we don't talk to you, but the people in the community really spent several hours lengthening your thing and trying to help you to move forward. This is a picture that I took from yesterday at the Force Asia meetup and in some of the photos are some of the people that I really like, one of my favorite people in the community in the fun road, Cazen. And because of this community, I meet so many awesome people that what make me engage more in open source. In 2009, me and my partner decided that we want to form an organization called Force Asia. It's like community, try to connect people together to work on open technology, to help more people in Asia to contribute to open source. And we started our first ever event in the city, at that time it was the Known Asia. It was also the first open source event ever in the country. 1,400 people so often, we have a lot of interest from the young people to get involved. And then from 2009, from one event, we organized now many events and meet up throughout Asia. One of our biggest event in Singapore every year in March, and throughout the year we have event in China, India, and many other places. And that's not the only thing we do. So the Force Asia community developed a lot of software by working together. So these are a few of them. You can check out the Force Asia GitHub.  Lock Lock, which is our sort of Twitter harvest engine. And then we have an Android application that can download you, that upload your photo in different services. In 2010, it was my first time ever to enter Europe and will bustle at that time. I got invited to speak at the Libraffis meeting and it was also a very nice experience for me. This is a picture that I took with some of the participants. I believe some of them might be here today and we are still friends with Keep In Touch since 2010. 2011, Force Asia B-Pack of the G-Stock Google Summer of Code program. We got a lot of students on board and involved in the development of our project. In 2012, we built an open source hotel in Vietnam. The idea is that if we try to create a place where people can meet and we have a lot of developers in the community, the game developer, DBN developer, they set our place for some time. In the same year, we organized the Open Decide Week for how to work with an open source tool to make art and design. In 2015, I heard about Force Dome for many years. The Force Asia Summit also got an aspiration from Force Dome. In 2015, it was my first time attending the event and this is some of the pictures that I took with the people that I met here. Again, it was a very nice meeting and we got to connect with a lot of friends and people that you know from the community. Force Asia ran our first season of Code Heat. The idea of this program is to guide a young student how to contribute to open source pool requests and every season we have about 650 to 1,000 participants with a lot of mentors from everywhere. In 2019, recently, we released our open hardware device called Pocket Science Lab. It is like a built-in device with oscilloscope logic analyzer and many other instrument. The firmware open source, we also created an app, everything open source except for the chip, but it's going to be changing the next version. In 2018, also the first time for Asia has an assembly at the CCC. I also gave a talk at the CCC and something that very nicely I got a sports cow sent to the Force Asia assembly every day at the conference. So to see that how people really connected in the conference. In 2019, in March, it's going to be our 10th anniversary. We're going to have a big celebration in Singapore if by chance you are there, you can come and join us. We are in K Building at the Force Asia stand. If you want to participate, you can meet us there. Thank you very much. Very well within the time. We have quite some time left actually. Is there some of you that have questions you would like to ask? No? I don't see anyone? We host a workshop and meet up, regular workshop to show people how to use gear or how to work with Python. It's still running. If you want to check it out. If there's no other questions, I guess we can thank once more. You can visit the stand in building K if you would like to talk more. Thank you very much. I also want to thank the video team for making the stream and everything possible for everyone to see. Thank you very much. You mentioned very casually that you made a hotel. You were talking about small projects and all of a sudden we made a hotel. How did you make a hotel or how did you do this? Well, the hotel is built in Vietnam so we only have the land from our parents and the labour cost so we have to calculate every time but it's possible so it's not like something a huge project like what you can imagine here but we are very hard working, we have some serving and we have the support of the family so we make it possible. That's great.
