Welcome to comic get we're comics and television We're your hosts. I'm Shannon. I'm John and today we're going to be going over a few shows We watched this past week comic book TV shows Walking Dead Supernatural Arrow Supergirl legends of tomorrow flash Was there an agent so she'll this past week I know I may have you go over what's happened so far this season Next week First before we do that while we've been waiting to film I overheard John talking to some of his customers here geeking out comics It's fine Yes, I was So I overheard John talking to some of his customers About how the Deadpool movie has affected business while we're waiting to Shoot today. So it's also a little bit about that Have you seen the movie first off? I don't know what you're waiting for Go and see it because I know Shannon's waiting for a double date Go see it So at opening night Awesome move. I've seen it twice and people have already seen it three times and five times But even before the Deadpool movie came out, I couldn't keep a single thing on the shelf Deadpool So if you're looking for anything Deadpool by all means come in check out check things out Right now I have a deadpool bank and a deadpool imported Lego figure. That's about it You might find some uncanny X force with that pulling it. That's about it So and this is the story of networks with this comic store with a lot of comic stores are having a hard time keeping anything Deadpool in the store. So it's to kind of give you heads up that was hot right now. Yeah outperforms Star Wars Opening the opening night it out didn't start Every other R rated movie and they're not talking about how to Superman vs Batman being R rated now Because of the blue ray the blue ray So I mean Deadpool is affected a lot of comic movies now Hopefully it doesn't affect the ones that shouldn't be affected right because they're wanting to make a Wolverine rated R Finally yeah, but when you go out and say, oh, we're gonna do a rated R Ventures, we're gonna rate our spider-man rated R. We don't need no Superman needs to be family friendly Superman Batman needs to be at a verge of family friendly at ours. Maybe PG-13 a Hard PG-13 maybe close to an arm Yeah But when you get a superman Batman, we'll be together that is the PG-13 for sure Do what that's smart idea For home and then doing the The ethical release PG-13 But kudos to the filmmakers for Deadpool because they were going are all the way definitely Deadpool is a rated R comic. It's a mature title Kids come in here when I do have them try to buy them like I need your parents to come in Yeah You wouldn't let your kids watch the walking dead, why would you let them read? I Know The show is graphic the show is gory the comics are worse. Yeah Comics would be like rated TV. I mean there there's a scene there's a scene before a woman Gets shot with a shot.  They skipped over the whole part where he was in a coma and lost his memory Well, that would have been kind of Carl injured in coma part two. Yeah Because they did that with Herschel and they've probably done that again in between Carl needs to just wear a frickin bicycle helmet We're sitting on a roof eating a big old can of pudding Well, they've got it for sale Which by the way, please me a point if you're watching walking dead I'm not watching talking dead after get on it because my girlfriend was totally against the first couple seasons They did talking dead and I made her sit down and watch an episode. I think it was with Kevin Smith And from that episode on she's been one she gets pissed off when she misses Yeah, so catch talking daddy a lot of little tidbits like When Rick is carrying Carl I forget shot in the eye. That's actually a dummy Really done FX dummy and it looked just like yeah, excellent special effects curious to make her Also this past Sunday we had a Rick and Daryl found Jesus Did you happen to see the spoof video someone did of Rick and Daryl going after Jesus with Which is funny because that was a request by Chris Hardway Yeah, they go somebody go out there and make the belly hill video for this because it's gonna be funny And it was hilarious. All they had to do was speed it up a little bit Yeah So after Rick and Daryl found Jesus Jesus lights off some fireworks in the back. I knew this was coming. He steals the truck the Rick and Daryl Why did Rick and Daryl leave their car their spores car at the place where they found the truck Why didn't one of them drive the truck? Because it wouldn't have been fun That whole episode was hilarious. We needed that. At first when we got the mid-season return We needed another episode like this to kind of lighten things up a little bit because that was kind of a tax episode And then They they get the truck back and Rick parts it by the leg He actually takes the time to back it up right on the edge of the leg. Well, let's not forget before that They thought they thought they let Jesus tied in the in the middle of the road Where we're in a knot that it would take him a couple hours to get out where it didn't take him a couple hours Because apparently he's got you know the speed force in him Because next thing you know, he's on top of the freak group.   You can turn it into zombie wine So previous episode So after they get the truck and they Rick takes the time to back it up while Darryl's chasing Jesus around Praise Jesus Yeah Something happens and the truck just goes into the pond. Well, it's what happens when Jesus is riding in the truck after their game of tag somebody hit the The neutral and it's just It was pointless to even get the truck in the first place If it wasn't for the truck, they wouldn't met Jesus That's true. It was divine intervention. Yeah So we were talking a little bit earlier about how in the comics Eventually gets revealed that Jesus is Homosexual we don't know what that we don't know if he's homosexual or bisexual or what which there's No, I think I think he is straight out And we were talking about how what if later on in the show Rick and Jesus, I mean, yeah, Darryl What if you find Jesus in another way? Well, there was talk a couple seasons back because it was Revealed that Darryl might possibly be gay or bi with which He would be ok if the character was bi or gay. I think they should make him bi rather than full on gay Well, if he ends up with Jesus before he ends up with Carol first, I'm gonna be pissed. Yeah Yeah, I think a lot of people are going Carol's cookies They've been over with the flowers But actually, I think the women would be pissed when he gets with Carol Yeah He gets with Jesus, you know women are gonna be pissed anyway Sorry folks Michelle and fall Spencer out into the into the woods Sure, what Spencer doing out there? Well nobody was he's just kind of being Spencer and being totally Apparently that's what it seemed and at the same time Carl follows eating it out there again I'm trying to like eating it, but she's She's kind of becoming the Laura of the show I think they're gonna make her into Kind of what Carol's daughter was in the comics. Yeah And so Carl and Enid end up running into Deanna who's Deanna Deanna's been zombie Enid gets ready to kill her, but Carl tells her no let her go It's eventually revealed towards the end that Michele knew that Carl let her go Michele and Spencer so so the Spencer could Family business, you know, which I don't completely disagree. I don't I mean And that's how we become So also See Finally at the end of the show Rick Scott jungle fever and it brought mints to bring them together And all I can say about that is I wish they would have shown the end scene from Jesus's perspective You find Jesus, yeah Rick and Michele found Jesus So what what would you rate this episode walking dead? I'll say close to a 10 as well My wife hasn't really been too impressed with walking dead past couple seasons. It's been kind of slow. It hasn't really been Very intense It's starting to build back up that intensity Now that we're getting ready to get into the Negan storyline. Who's Negan? Nipple on that for a while Last episode the mid-seas have returned where they basically replay People finding Daryl Launcher Man of a million questions What why should we give yours?  It looks like minced hamburger Ready and we're off France greatest scene in the walking dead All right, so next on the agenda is Supergirl I know John doesn't watch Supergirl I need to Yeah, kind of is actually going to be Laura Vandavor is gonna play indigo Laura Vandavor played Supergirl in smallville. She's gonna play indigo, which is like a female version of brady Who is that? Imprisoned in Fort Ross We'll talk more about flash in just a little bit, but this past week on Supergirl Supergirl fought the master trailer He was a prison guard at Fort Ross all the other prison guards were killed In the escape. He was the only one left So he went to earth and started tracking down all the former inmates Jimmy Olson and Some for other friends are talking about Telling her she should release Maxwell Lord from the DO prison Nobody knows where Max Lord is right now public doesn't know where Max Lord is because he discovered Supergirl secret identity and Has been trying to basically destroy her so they locked her locked him up Pretty much he's basically the Lex Luthor of Supergirl They should have played more towards the comics with Max Lord's character made him more like a trojan horse Like he was in the comics Cat also is tired of Kara Kara are we pronounce her name? Tired of her basically Skimming out on her responsibilities and everything so hard. She hires a second assistant which turns out to be Syobhan Smythe Who has comic readers know becomes the silver band she? And there's a lot of animosity between her and Cara right off the bat She's a she's sure she's a kiss-ass Yeah see Jimmy tries to convince Cara to release Maxwell Lord Cara defeats the master jailer and ends up releasing Max And one of the things he says is but I know your identity why would you release me when you know? I could possibly take your identity public. She's like well you do that and We'll send all this information. We've gathered on you to the proper authorities, and you'll be put in prison So he's like okay, so it's a catch-22 basically Running joke in the show is Superman's face All season long they talk about Superman. They show him either from the waist down or from the back of the head or whatever I did hear rumors going about it. If you're willing to do it. Also is Tom willing Tom would make the perfect Superman they Yeah, I didn't care the way they ended the story But if you go back and read Superman I think is the first couple issues of Superman birthright or The younger version of Clark Kent looks identical to Tom Another thing I'm not too sure too sure about in the Supergirl series is how they did Hank and show I Hank Henshaw is the Martian man He's a read Richard's rip-off basically Who later gets turned into Kryptonian technology become a cyborg to fool everybody after Superman's death to fool everybody He's the real superman come back and half his faces. I don't terminate Eventually So would you say that Hank Henshaw is responsible for This is with yellow Sinestro with the throne in Trapped in the battery In there a sinister Parallax and makes to a parallax compete. I guess somehow Sinestro is parallax After he disbanded the Sinestro core and destroyed the Sinestro Lantern He is a parallax now so back to Supergirl Fun fact the girl who plays Syobhan Smythe the silver banshee is Robbie Amell's And Robbie Amell plays fire played firestorm The flash He played death storm No And a big thing with this episode of Supergirl is Jimmy Is debating on telling Lucy Lane the truth about He actually told Cara that if him and Lucy Lane are going to Succeed in a relationship. He's got to tell her the truth about who Supergirl really is Cat grass personality The fact that Jimmy actually knows Superman's identity for all these years Well, I like the idea of Jimmy knowing who Superman really is because he's good at yeah But having that introduced right off the bat, you know I'll give this episode Give it probably a five Next on list is Last week on the flash we finally got see earth to Killer frost Iris yeah earth to Five which went by the name of That's a question. It was earth to vine. Yeah, and it's a bad guy. Really. He knew his powers He'd put five to shame. Yeah He was geeking out of himself So in this week slash Well, Cisco and Barry agreed not to discuss anything about earth to Because of everything that happened Deathstorm Robbie Mills character Was killed by zoom I have no touching to that storm being earth to Robbie and all that but They were gonna use the skull face. They should at least use the blue flame, right? They got the black off of it. They didn't use the blue flame and that was They needed to portray them just a little better. It was a disappointment because so far the flash has been pretty much on top with Like to see the flash with the yellow boots Yeah We know now that Lila which is diggles Would you say why they weren't married but are they? They've got a kid together Wait for the son ends up becoming Well, we're talking about flash so that's why I was saying wait for but you kind of looked at me like I thought we were Well Lila is now the director of Argus because former director of mando waller I You may know a little bit more about Well, it's just it's a secret government agency that deals with Um Cisco tells Caitlyn about her being killer frost in earth, too And there's this whole thing about Cisco's constantly keeping an eye on Caitlyn because he thinks she's gonna turn into killer frost Berry tells Iris and Joe about their earth to counterparts And at first Joe is like oh wow. I was this lounge singer blah blah blah blah blah blah and then he finds out His counterpart Didn't like very right right because The iris and earth to became a cop to further bury her to his career Side note very or two is very much work. Yeah, I don't have much traction on Finally we'll talk about The big reveal occurred this week on flash but who kind of who zoom is He finally removed his mask to reveal Jay Gehrig Which is weird because he was carrying Jay Gehrig Jay Gehrig fought Jay Gehrig And he was carrying Jay Gehrig and I think another Jay Gehrig in prison. I think Jay They kind of did because that's when he was tapping He was tapping and doing the military code right and it's spelled out Jay That's my that my theory is that's Jay Gehrig. So how many Jay Gehrig's do we have? Well, we got Jay Gehrig from earth one who we're thinking is Hunter's all men from I mean Jay Gehrig from yeah He's basically like very They never actually confirmed that he does We have Jay Gehrig from earth to whose powers are going on and off And then there's another Jay Gehrig who's possibly Jay Gehrig Who maybe the Starts with an R. What's the name of the rifle the rifle? Yes Well, we can't bring the forest don't judge. I got gray hair coming my beard. I don't have no hair Except for this So in one month's time we touch on this a little bit earlier The flash will appear on Supergirl at the end of March Think it's like March 25th or something like that Yeah I know I think Because next month agents shields coming back on I Caught the first few episodes of Susan I start with the very first I don't know it seems more like it started become more like smallville where you had the Superpowered freak of the week They got good towards the end second Susan was better soon as they as soon as When it came out and they had to be go everybody's with hydro I don't trust anybody. That's when the series really took on a stride So now this week's episode of arrow Let's go back to flash real quick What would you rate the flash the flash When I read I'll give it a solid 7.5 when I see it I'd say it was probably got eight The reveal wasn't that wasn't that surprising Back to arrow now This past week on arrow dark Damian dark reveals that he has William. Who's William Jones? That would be the son Overcoin who should actually be kind of hot. Yeah, so But yeah, he has him. We saw that last week That was the big cut and credits and then we get this episode I believe you just said he reveals that he has it so he's gonna try though make them throw the race Yeah, yeah, Oliver Queen did actually drop out of the mayor's race And they discovered where Damian dark Was and had William and this is the mid-season finale or a few weeks after so We just had a mid-season yeah So Felicity at the end of the episode ends the engagement with Oliver because Oliver lie Tell her about William Which was heart-baking but at the same time But at the same time it pissed her off enough to where she got up out of her wheelchair and walked With the chip she had the chip out she has no chip in her that very cool. Mr. Terrific made for her It is Yeah, let's see It's discovered that Malcolm Merlin is the one that actually kidnapped William for dark It's because all over And lost the League of Assassins Which which caused Fiat to disown her father We also see the live-action version of Vixen and they actually make a joke about that where Oliver says about a year ago. We had an animated adventure together They discover where Damian dark is William and they discovered that all his power because of this totem that's similar to Vixen's totem and Vixen gets the strength of the gorilla and starts smashing this totem and Finally after like ten times of trying to hit it against the ground finally shatters He tries to use his powers on Oliver. Oliver's got the arrow pointed at him He's like well, that's Oliver just goes up and knocks him out Oliver actually sends William and Williams mom away and tells Williams mom not to even tell Oliver where they're going to keep them safe So overall, I would give this episode of arrow it was kind of Obvious what was gonna happen. What's that? Yeah, I would give it probably a seven Seven works and also Williams mom knows Oliver is the green arrow next up is legends of tomorrow Have you watched legends of tomorrow yet?  Yeah, that's true junior And Basically Star City will always need a green arrow just like Gotham City will always need Tell me you don't want to see I've seen Made out of the Batman begins suit Well first I would rate that episode maybe Maybe a five And that's simply because I didn't care for the way they portrayed Hunter Hawk Hunter Hawk should be a completely different person Right But I also didn't like how they gave Oliver a robotic arm Should have left it Because we're still pretty cool All right, I'm just supernatural I'm a big supernatural fan. I used to be a paranormal investigator. I stopped after the first season or two Supernatural is really getting good because now They've got a fight to find a way to get rid of the darkness, which is God's sister But this is God's sister, so they're pretty much fighting God No There's a pattern this episode actually did guest star WWE's The Mizz was in it and he got killed Another wrestler an old wrestler commit suicide they think It ends up being a supernatural related type deal No But Sam and Dean go to the funeral because they were huge fans of this wrestler their dad was a huge fan of this wrestler So they go to pay their respects Dean basically becomes a fanboy and geeks out over all these Professional wrestlers and everything Yeah, the Miz was the only professional wrestler I believe It turns out that all these wrestlers are being killed because they made deals with the demon Crossroads demon No, okay They made deals with this demon who's now collecting so that he has a bunch of souls To use against the darkness whenever the darkness starts waiting God's sister God and his angels Imprison the darkness in order to create God is the light So anyway Sam and Dean team up with kind of team up with this wrestler Wallace Who tells them what's been going on? and He basically Wallace decides to turn on the demon who's been having him collect the souls for him and kills the demon and They end the episode with the l-owns coming for him They should have brought in some justice. Yeah Yeah, they should have But also in the episode Also in the episode Looses for searches for another hand of God loose for now is taken over Cassie L's body And he's searching for another hand of God in order to use against the darkness He has Crowley who used to be the king of hell in chains cleaning L's floors with a toothbrush But during this part Lucifer goes over and takes the toothbrush away from That Crowley makes it clean the floor with his tongue Has it down on all four calls him his dog Crowley is Lucifer's dog Crowley eventually escapes because he got help from another demon who ends up turning on Crowley It was all this thing put together by Lucifer To find the other hand of God Which turns out to be the rod of Aaron don't laugh That's what she said which there's act with whenever they find the rod of Aaron There's all these jokes that Crowley makes about he tells the demon you can't handle my rod Time for a supernatural walking dead cross over. Hey Jesus So anyway, the demon Lucifer reveals that the demon was actually working for Lucifer the entire time even though the demon had told Crowley that there were still people who were loyal to Crowley and Crowley's got the rod of Aaron in his hand and He goes to use he goes to use it He goes to use it on Lucifer, but the demon jumps in the way and gets disintegrated With Crowley's rod Yeah, when Crowley when Crowley goes to use the rod on Lucifer He shoes blanks So He says Lucifer makes some comment about it, you know, apparently you used up all your rods power and gets ready to attack Crowley and throws it back or whatever over a table and when when Lucifer goes over to a Finish the job on Crowley so Now Lucifer can't use the rod of Aaron And he has nobody to clean his floors Poor Lucifer. I would Hitler, I'll 3 I would give this episode simply because of the rod jokes The rod jokes alone deserve it. It's all in six The rest of the episode I Would give maybe a four. Well, you're facing supernatural life Question should the series their past one If they're going to end supernatural they need to at least have God show up because this whole series has been about Angels and demons we've seen Lucifer we've seen you know all this stuff God's gone missing. He's He's in the hospital because he got back to bar a bunch of high jahaki demons playing skew ball I would like to see supernatural go 12th season Yes, they surpassed smallville. Yes I Would like to see them go on to season 12 Just to wrap everything up There yeah, that'd be good to maybe have God show up in that season 13 Which I mean that looks like the route they might take I mean there's only so many times that Sam and Dean can die and come back They're Kenny You There's also another show that I'm really liking right now. We're not going to review it in this episode Lucifer Sam and Sam he's appeared in many issues of that Yeah Lucifer is basically your typical cop buddy drama But he gave up hell here's want to be But there's the God wants him to go back to hell but that he can't make him right and And You just can't come at the head the way they the way they portray Lucifer in the show I've Built forever. That's how the actual if Lucifer actually exists Fox I believe We are believe five episodes Five episodes in Gotham's not bad. We turns next week this Monday mr. Freeze Introducing mr. Freeze. I think it's a big mistake. I'm just didn't see it I'm all caught up right now. So we'll get our catch on that next week Yeah Unless you watch eyes, I'll be I don't not the first few episodes I So thanks you guys for tuning in to come again this week. It was fun.

What we are confronting right now is an unprecedented situation. In our generation, we have never faced anything like this. The healthcare workers, the doctors, the nurses and the various other staff, we bow down to you for putting yourself and in turn your families to risk. When one consciously risks his own life for the well-being of the other, that is worship worthy. I want every citizen in this world to understand the selfless sacrifice and service that is being offered by the healthcare community. Well, if too many of us behave irresponsibly, there will be no point to their sacrifice and service. It is very important that every one of us support this by doing simply nothing. Just stepping back, staying in our homes, keeping the distance, ensuring that we are not infected. In case we do get infected, ensuring nobody else gets it from us. If we do this much, I am sure the doctors, nurses and other staff who are dedicated to making this happen will see us through these challenging times.  When I say what kind, are you the kind who will stand up and do what is needed no matter how much personal discomfort and loss or are you the kind you will do your own thing, not being bothered about others' well-being.  These are challenging times. Everybody should stand up and do whatever they can do in the interest of humanity. This is the first time there is such an impending calamity. Whether this will pass as a minor reparation for this generation or become a major or a massive calamity, largely depends on how responsibly all of us behave. There are only two choices. Either we choose to be a part of this problem or we choose to be part of the solution for this problem. I beseech you that every one of you should stand up as part of the solution in gratitude and honor for all those healthcare workers who are sticking their necks out for you and me.


Well thank you Rex. Good morning everybody. In particular, thanks for all coming here to spend your first couple of days in Bethesda to give us advice but also to interact and do the kinds of things we want to have that come out of this meeting. Particularly thanks to a small group of you who ended last week at a different hotel actually up in Gaithersburg at another NHGRI meeting. So ending one week some flying to the other coast and then ping-ponging right back here for this morning. So I'm certainly very appreciative of those people. We've packed a lot of meetings for the Institute into December for a variety of reasons. So I'm going to keep my comments brief and I'm actually not even going to show any slides. I looked at the list of people who are going to be here and many of you have heard me give talks in recent months so you don't need to see the slides nor do I really need to introduce you to any serious way NHGRI's new strategic plan which we published in February. Many of you are instrumentally important in fact in helping us put that strategic plan together. What I just wanted to do was to really amplify what Rex said which very much relates to the fact that NHGRI is very committed now to do everything we can do to accelerate progress in the development of genomic medicine as an area of, we think, incredible importance for medicine more broadly. We are learning a lot. Much of this is new to us. It's actually new for the field. We're doing everything we can to stimulate discussions and strategic thinking and also to help us figure out the best ways that NHGRI could be serving a major role in a facilitative role in the field. We're doing lots of workshops. You've heard about that. I was just making a quick list. In the general arena of genomic medicine, broadly defined, we did I think last December we did a workshop on newborn screening sometime this spring, I think maybe April. We did a workshop looking at genomics and electronic health records. You heard about the workshop we just had last week, Thursday and Friday around clinical actionable variants quote unquote. We're having, it's slightly a different topic but we're having a meeting. We're sponsoring along with some other NIH institutes in San Diego. At the end of this week around sickle cell disease and new genomic opportunities that might be applied for looking at that important disease. And then there's others that are either planned or in the planning stages. I'll also tell you that in addition to the workshops that we're putting on, often in partnership with other NIH institutes, I can't emphasize enough how NHGRI is really being once again looked at at NIH for providing some strategic advice, strategic leadership in genomics, in particular in clinical applications. Lots of institutes are getting into genomics, obviously, but in particular there's just so much interest in thinking about many of these very generic sets of issues about just the first time doing things in clinical practice using genomics, the disease specific aspects, the institutes know how to deal with it. It's more of these challenges associated uniquely with genomics. So we are looked at a lot for providing guidance and giving advice and so we look now to our community, including all of you, to help us formulate our thinking and to then give the advice. So that was the reason why, as Rex said, we recognized during the tail end of our strategic planning process that, you know, genomic medicine wasn't way out there. Genomic medicine actually was starting. It's starting in little pockets in various places. And we thought, wow, we should get these groups together and start learning from them, also maybe getting them to interact and giving us ideas on how we can facilitate enlargement of those interactions, increasing opportunities. And that's why we set up this series of meetings of which this is now the second of what we aim to be a series. But in addition, we recognize that this is critically important for the Institute. And so one of the things that we wanted to do was to make sure that this became a formal part of our advisory process. And so we have an advisory council. If I counted, let's see, we have Howard's here from our council and Pearl's here from our council. Jeff just finished his stint on our council. Rex is a member of our council and I don't know if there's anybody else. Dave Valley is a member of our council. So what? You just went off one to Jeff. So significant, significant representation of either current council members or future council members. And that's very important for us. And in fact, that is why just at the last council meeting, we actually established a new working group of our council, a working group on genomic medicine that will carry forth in a very regular way interactions between forums like this and then back giving reports and discussions to our advisory council. So this particular meeting, for example, the first meeting Jeff was, Ginsburg was heavily involved in organizing. Rex has played a larger role in this particular one, but it really is sort of, it'll be a continual basis of our council members being involved in these kinds of planning meetings, other meetings, and then strategically interacting in a fashion that engages our council to help us think about it. So what are we specifically, what's NHGRI really looking for at this particular meeting? It is a hard time. I mean, one of the things, you read the newspaper, we don't really know what's going to happen budgetarily. I don't want to start the meeting on a downer, but it does reflect the fact that this is not a moment in time where we can come up with 15 new initiatives and instantly go off and fund them. It's just not going to happen. So we have to be smarter with the resources we have, and we have to do everything in our power to sort of make the most out of the opportunities that are out there, and then we will sprinkle when we can funding when it is available in ways that we obviously are already doing. But we really want to do everything we can to stimulate this area, even if it doesn't mean directly funding the work ourselves. The other thing we can do, which is exactly what we're doing, is that we can be conveners, and we can hold forums like this that get people together that can end up empowering collaborations and fashions that may not happen if we didn't actually get people in the same room. And then when I was talking to Terry Manolio about this and about the kinds of things we hope to come out of a meeting like this, she said, you know, part of what we're trying to do, we're trying to be matchmakers here, we're trying to put groups together.  People think that yenta means matchmaker. It's Chothkin, by the way, is the Yiddish word for matchmaker. So that's what we're doing here. We're basically being Chothkins. We are trying, among everything else, what we're trying to do is to see what we can facilitate by exposing the nascent efforts in genomic medicine to each other, and then think about things that might grow out of such interactions. And that's why a lot of these workshops are designed to have materials prepared in advance that everybody's describing what they're doing, so everybody could be thinking about it when they get in the room, and it also tailors the way we put the agenda together. So that's what I wanted to say. Again, I appreciate you being here. I expect it's going to be a very fruitful couple of days, and I will be here throughout. I have to slip out at least once for one thing I have to do, but otherwise I plan to listen intently and intensively to hear what I can learn and how that might influence what the Institute does in the coming months. So I'm turning this over to you now, Terry.


Hey everybody, it's Brett with Summit Auto and I just wanted to do a Monday morning lot walk I haven't done one on Monday for quite some time But I'll show you all the inventory that we got in over the weekend and I got some really nice stuff Not a ton, but a lot of nice stuff. We got a ton of stuff coming So I might do a mid-week lot walk Remember all these vehicles are going to be listed in the description below to links to our website So you can check out each and every one of them. So let's get started right away July 10th 2023 first up. We have a 2018 Ford Mustang GT premium. It's got the five liter in it It is a convertible manual transmission and this one has 9,000 miles on it and I just wanted to show you that 9,000 and look how clean this interior is. This is how this one came in So really really a nice ride and we'll get that through for pictures here shortly I have a Nissan Rogue. This one's got 160 some thousand miles on it And I'm not sure if we're going to keep it, but it's an SL all-wheel drive in white pearl It's really loaded up on options. So we're going to try and run it through our shop and see if we can keep it This is a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab Short Box Level 2 Sport Edition. That's in really nice shape and it's got 55,000 miles on it I didn't see any denser dings on it. So hopefully that one can go through pretty quick I've got a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 High Country. This one is nicely loaded up as well It's got 37,000 miles and it's in that really good-looking Red tint coat color So really a nice ride And that one's got the Duramax diesel and everything 37,000 miles and it's a 2022 This is a 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium. It's got the 5-liter Coyote It's got the six-speed manual transmission and it's got the red leather seats Look at those things those things are awesome with the white stripes love it and that's in really nice shape And it's got 22,000 miles on it. This is a Buick Enclave This is a 14 and it's got 138,000 miles on it a white pearl is the color or Can't write white diamond. I think is the color on these anyways It's in pretty nice shape all-wheel drive. We're gonna run that through the shop See if we're gonna keep it or not. This is a 2009 Dodge Challenger RT So it's got the 5-7 Hemi in it. It is an automatic. It's got leather seats heated seats and this one has just Just over 11,000 miles on it really nice condition. You get the quad tipped exhaust That's the Mopar performance exhaust on there. This is a 2017 Ram 1500 big horn really nice condition. It's a true blue Metallics of color. This one's got 70,000 miles on it and in really nice condition This is a 2012 Chevy Malibu and This one has 70,000 miles on it as well Actually the person that traded in that one also traded in this one So these are two fresh trades from the weekend and that one's 4-door LT so it's got cloth and leather seats and pretty nice condition. I think that's Tungsten gray metallic and then lastly this is a Jeep Cherokee that we just got through 23 J 37 for a I think that's an 18 altitude front-wheel drive I'm gonna do a video on that later today, and this is the Ford Mustang. We did a video on yesterday There's Mackie does all our pictures here Does a great job and then I got a 2013 Audi s6 in this one's got 97,000 miles. It's a quattro. It's got a couple of little scuffs and scrapes but a pretty nice condition for the miles on it and We're gonna be getting that through the shop today We're getting it into the shop today sometime so that's really all we got in over the weekend But we like I said, we have a ton of stuff coming in as well The other thing that we just got in is this ram 1500 crew limited and I can't remember the miles on it, but it's I think it's right around 30 or 40,000 miles on it You have to check out the website for that, but I'll have it linked in the description below so I hope everybody's July is going well and Yeah, remember to like subscribe and share on the YouTube channel and keep cool supposed to be 90 degrees today Here in Wisconsin. So thanks a lot for checking out the video remember to like subscribe and share and Thanks again


in general video. Today I'm back with another video about the Apple M1 computer and I think this is gonna be helpful for not only me but for you guys if you're looking to buy a brand new Apple M1 CPU. It's kind of like a website showcase and the website is called is Apple Silicon ready. Now I'm not endorsed by these people at all. I just found this website quite helpful and maybe be helpful for you guys. Sorry if you hear rain in the background it's kind of raining at our house right now but I still wanted to make a video. So this website is HTTPS is applesiliconready.com so it kind of shows you some of the apps that are ready for Apple Silicon or ones that run fine in Rosetta 2 which Rosetta 2 is kind of like if you didn't know it's kind of like a program that lets x86 based programs or otherwise Intel programs to run on the Apple M1 CPU because the M1 CPU runs on an architecture known as ARM and ARM is a different architecture than what Intel uses Intel uses x86. So in order to get x86 programs to work on Apple's new ARM M1 CPU they need to use a program and theirs is called Rosetta 2 right here. So you can kind of look through this website and see apps that are work or for M1 Optimizer ones that work in Rosetta 2 and at the bottom they have this little thing here that says fully compatible with Apple Silicon not working or initial beta support with issues. So as you can see a lot of apps are indeed running in it it seems like a lot of Adobe apps aren't ready but they're mostly run in Rosetta 2 perfectly fine and you can actually go up here and search for an app so one I've actually been interested in is Minecraft so if you go here you can see application Minecraft is not M1 optimized but it does work fine in Rosetta 2 and then they also have these tabs up here that kind of show you like oh it lets you do design work in like Pixelmator Pro or Adobe Photoshop I do use Pixelmator Pro so that's nice to know that it is M1 optimized and you can actually go down and they have quite a big list and that's not even all of them you can make that go to a hundred or you can even look at all the other pages with tons more designer apps that work with Apple Silicon and it also says up here is Apple Silicon ready for design well because a lot of them work either in Rosetta 2 or are M1 optimized that means yes it is basically ready and then otherwise for video production which is probably where I would be almost is for that one and it's actually nice to know that the black the thing the the program that I use to make my videos DaVinci Resolve is M1 optimized with version 17 which is DaVinci Resolve 17 is their new one as well as these are programs that I use as well as hand break in VLC I used to use ScreenFlow when it was a free program a long time ago and OBS Studio is what I use for live streaming and screen recordings so that one is not M1 optimized yet meaning it doesn't have support for it but it will run perfectly fine in Rosetta 2 and then they have like Adobe After Effects which is not yet and it does not work with M1 but it does work under the Rosetta 2 program and then if you guys are looking for browsers a lot of browsers are supported especially Chrome because that's one of the biggest ones that browsers in the world I personally use Firefox a bit more than Chrome but yeah they're both M1 optimized so they thus means that they will run both in Rosetta 2 but will work even better because they are M1 optimized and this is also another really cool feature about the Apple M1 CPU is because it is based off of ARM the same architecture that iPhones and iPads are based off of you can actually run your Apple iPhone and iPad apps actually on your Mac if you have an M1 CPU now I have heard that they aren't the greatest the support isn't great yet because of the screen size limit and resolution and you're trying to simulate touch controls with a mouse or trackpad so it's not the greatest yet but it is coming into play and I will be doing a review of that as I did post a video I'll have a link to it above right now in a card talking about I'm looking to buy a new computer as my current computer is not good for video editing it takes overnight to render videos editing is super choppy and I'm really looking for a brand new computer because the current one I use is from 2010 and whenever I try to record a screen capture or edit a video the fans start turning on it's a 2010 iMac now I'm not I'm not actually using that computer to film this to make this video I'm actually doing it on my family's laptop because it can actually support it but that's the thing I'm looking to save up so and I'm also looking for people suggestions so if you have an Apple M1 computer please leave your suggestions in the comments below of that video because I am looking for help I am probably going to be ordering it this Saturday as I'm recording this on a Friday so if you guys have any suggestions please add those today or tomorrow because I really do want to get that soon enough and I do have a budget but I'll talk more about that in the other video that I had linked I'll also keep that one in the description not only that but I will leave the link to this website in the description of the video so that if you guys want to check out this website if you have thinking of getting an M1 computer or you have one and it's not it some apps don't work well well you can see this website if you have any questions or things like that I did not make this website and again I am not endorsed by these come by this company I just thought it was a fun website that I found that definitely gave me a lot of resources when I was thinking of getting the M1 compared to an Apple Intel Mac but yeah thank you guys all for watching have a great extra every day and goodbye


Hi, I'm Jack Hemler and this is Brewing for Dummies. Today we're gonna talk about sponding. So one of the things that we do here is we trap the CO2 that our beer produces or our yeast produces in the tank. Ale fermentations here in the US are carbonated, is CO2 from an outside source, is taken and injected into the beer. We wanna use the CO2 that is naturally produced during fermentation, absorb all that CO2, hold it in solution, we can then utilize that CO2 in the finished product. We don't have to take CO2 that comes from some unknown source and then inject it into our product. Every single tank is custom, carbonated, and it really helps to create a unique flavor in all of our beers.


I think that we are all now in position, so the next item of business is a statement by Julian Martin on vision for Scotland's future energy system. The minister will take questions at the end of her statement, and so there should be no interventions or interruptions, and I call on Minister Julian Martin up to 10 minutes, please, Ms Martin. I would like to update Parliament on the steps that we are taking to set out our vision for the future net zero energy system. Earlier this year we consulted on the draft energy strategy and just transition plan. Today we are publishing the responses to the consultation in the draft, along with the independent analysis report that was commissioned to examine the responses received. This report confirms broad support for our net zero vision and highlights the importance of providing policy certainty to enable the required investment in skills, infrastructure and technologies. The analysis report also shows the need to reach the net zero in a way that fairly spreads the benefits and costs of decarbonisation across society. That is why our commitment to a just transition is so important. We are making available funding of almost £5 billion over this Parliament in net zero energy transformation, costing £1.8 billion to accelerate heat decarbonisation, with at least £465 million to support those least able to pay for the transition. We are already making excellent progress in transforming our energy sector. Last week I was delighted to launch the onshore wind sector deal. That is a great example of a shared commitment between Government and industry that will bring forward investment in skills and the supply chain. The sector deal is a key part of the Bute House agreement. Over the past two years, the parties of Government have been working together to grow the renewable sector and to create economic opportunity and sustainable green jobs across Scotland. There is still work to be done, though. While we are pleased with the result for onshore wind in Scotland in the recent contracts for different auctions, the absence of offshore wind signals that the UK Government has failed to recognise the current market challenges that that sector faces. We urge the UK Government to address this disastrous outcome in time for the next allocation round. As we have set out in the ESJTP, we believe that any new extraction of fossil fuels must be subject to very strict climate compatibility tests. Our focus must be on meeting our energy security needs, reducing emissions, delivering affordable energy supplies, while ensuring a just transition for our oil and gas workforce as North Sea resources decline. To achieve that, we need to harness the skills, talent and experience that are located in the north-east to support the build-out of net zero technologies in Scotland. We are already acting, for example, through a 10-year £500 million just transition fund, but the UK Government needs to play its part to enable that transition, too. The electricity network will be critical to delivering the ambitions that are set out in the energy strategy and just transition plan. High levels of investment in electricity transmission infrastructure in Scotland and the wider GB electricity grid are required to ensure clean, affordable renewable electricity is available where it is needed. A significant amount of renewable generation in Scotland is currently constrained, as there is not enough space on the electricity network to transport the power. Annual constraints across GB could reach up to £3 billion worth by the late 2020s. Those costs are paid for in large part by consumers across GB. Many of the network projects that are proposed in Scotland are aimed at lowering those constraint costs, as the cost of infrastructure will be less than the potential costs of constraints. While network build is vital, it must be delivered with lasting benefits for our economy and for the people of Scotland. Scotland's natural endowment makes it an extremely attractive place to site renewable generation. We must translate that huge potential into sustainable jobs, community benefit, skills and local economic development. Investment in networks will play a crucial role in creating long-term, high-quality green jobs that will attract and retain talent in the communities across Scotland. I am aware that communities in areas that may be impacted by proposed electricity network developments may have concerns about network infrastructure. As established in the national planning framework 4, which was approved by the Scottish Parliament earlier this year, the views of local communities are of the utmost importance. It is vital that everyone has the opportunity to engage in decisions about future development. That engagement must happen as early as possible and should be effective, collaborative and meaningful. The MPF4 also ensures that appropriate checks and balances are in place and that potential impacts on our environment and our natural heritage are fully assessed. I can assure Parliament that the potential impacts on communities, nature, landscape and other valued natural assets are very important consideration when determining applications for consent. Despite the powers to mandate community benefits from renewable energy and grid infrastructure developments being reserved to the UK Government, we are continuing to work with communities in a wide range of energy businesses to maximise community benefit from existing and new developments. Some developers are already leading the way and as part of the onshore wind sector deal, developers have committed to meet or exceed the national benchmark set out in the Scottish Government's good practice principles from onshore renewable energy developments. I want to see network companies take similar steps and I have strongly encouraged the network companies to bring forward tangible benefits to communities where infrastructure is proposed. That includes measures that can have a positive impact on household fuel costs. I have urged the network companies to be creative in these solutions and work closely with communities to tailor them. I welcome recent initiatives in Spain and hope to see yet more innovation and good community engagement on how community benefit can be best deployed in a way that meets communities' own needs. We remain committed to a net zero future and we will use every power at our disposal to support sustainable economic growth and maximise the opportunities of the green economy. That includes ensuring that electricity network infrastructure comes with economic and social benefits for Scotland. By publishing the analysis report on the draft energy strategy and just transition plan today, we are demonstrating the open and transparent approach that is central to a just transition. As set out in the programme for government, we will continue to engage with a range of stakeholders across Scotland, including the Just Transition Commission and the Scottish Energy Advisory Board, as we work towards the final publication by summer 2024. The minister will now take questions on the issues raised in her statement and I intend to allow around 20 minutes for questions, after which we will move on to the next item of business, and it would be helpful if those members who wish to ask a question were to press the request to speak buttons now. I thank the minister for advance sight of the statement that rightly highlights the need for a transition, but not much else. The recent report by the Robert Gordon University states that retaining the offshore oil and gas supply chain, its workforce and associated skills over the next five years will be crucial to the UK's successful transition to renewable energies. That is because there is limited capacity for the UK offshore renewable sector to take on board the amount of skilled oil and gas workers impacted by the predicted decline in the hydrocarbon sector until later this decade. Approval of Rosebank is helping to manage that decline until more green jobs are available for the workforce to transition to. If we apply the bakes too quickly, the workforce will be lost and we will not have the people or skills to make the transition. The First Minister has condemned the approval of Rosebank and wants to turn his back on £8 billion of investment and turn his back on over 1,000 jobs in his latest betrayal of the north-east. Can the minister tell us if she supports the First Minister's position and would she also like to see the back of thousands of jobs many in her constituency? I refute some of the language that Douglas Lumsden has used in his question to me. No one is suggesting that any bakes be put on oil and gas. I am hugely supported of our world-class oil and gas industry and agree that we should be harnessing the substantial skills of the workers in that industry to take us to a net zero energy future. I am concentrating my efforts in making sure that oil and gas workers can see a sustainable future that takes us well beyond north-sea oil and gas. When a Government does not have plans for a long-term sustainable future, this is what happens. Minister, please resume your seat a second. I do not need constant questioning from a sedentary position. The member has posed his questions and the minister is responding. Let us please hear the minister. I am very appreciative of that. When a Government does not have plans for a long-term sustainable future, this is what happens. The next generation has no job prospects. Communities are hollowed out.  How do I know that? That is what Mr Lumsden's party's lack of just transition and short-term ideological thinking did to the communities of Clydeside, Lanarkshire, Fife, Ayrshire, Tynside, Liverpool, Yorkshire, South Wales and more. Yes, there will be jobs associated with Rosebank and, as a northeaster, I recognise that. My job as energy minister for Scotland is to ensure that there is life and jobs in the energy industry beyond the North Sea as it declines. The future is in the energy mix and everything that the UK Government led by the Tories signals that they are neglecting to nurture the economic opportunities for the north-east and beyond that will rise from that. I thank the minister for advance sight of her statement but say that it tells us nothing about how the Scottish Government's targets will be delivered. The minister mentioned household fuel costs and that she hoped to see more innovation and community benefit but hope doesn't deliver. We need a route map to deliver now so how many homes will be retrofitted by this year and by the end of the parliamentary term, how many new jobs will be created across Scotland and given the £40 million cuts to unis and colleges, how will the new training be delivered in our communities? Can she tell us why funding for households to access solar has been ended and what new funding will the Scottish Government provide to councils and communities so that they can deliver the engagement, the community and co-operatively owned heat and renewables networks that deliver investment to our communities and crucially will tackle the fuel poverty that 38 per cent of our households now face? I disagree that the statement that I have just given says nothing on that. It makes mention of a very significant development that will tackle quite a lot. There are quite a lot of questions there in Sayer Boyack's question to me but if I can point to the onshore wind strategic leadership group who were absolutely vital in taking forward the policy aspirations and the development of a non-shore wind sector deal that was published last week, signed last week. It will create pathways for long-term sustainable energy jobs, it has commitments along skills provision is there, it has commitments for community benefits, it has commitments in helping to tackle fuel poverty across Scotland and there are many more initiatives like that where government is working with industry to be delivering on all the aims that are going to help us to get to net zero. I would also point to the fact that we have heat and energy efficiency Scotland and the impact that that is going to make will actually help householders with their fuel bills on delivering energy efficiency measures in homes and buildings and developing heat networks as so many of our Nordic neighbours have. We are going to be building on the initial work that has been done there and actually making that a reality for a lot of households across the whole of Scotland. We will now move to backbench contributions so to speak and I would advise that we need to speed things up a little bit so could I please have succinct questions and minister succinct answers. I call John Mason to be followed by Grim Simpson. Mr Mason. The minister said in her statement that we believe that any new extraction of fossil fuels must be subject to very strict climate compatibility tests. Does she think that the UK Government has done this when they approved Rosebank? Mr Mason asks a question that I asked yesterday and he may have heard me in some of the media interviews that I was doing. I don't have any analysis that is from the UK government on what climate and indeed energy security conditions were met by applicants on proposed amendment. If I did have that, I would be very interested to see exactly what they were. I would also be able to be interested to see what details the developers will be doing and I am happy to engage with those developers. I have spoken to the developers in the past about what they might be doing above and beyond those conditions because I feel very optimistic that, with Equinor and Ithaca, they have got the licence, they now have a job to do to prove to, I suppose, Civic Scotland and the wider UK that they are recognising some of the criticism that has come yesterday. I am interested to see what they are doing to reduce their production emissions. The majority of what is going to be extracted from Rosebank is that everyone recognises that it will go overseas at 82 per cent oil. I really need to encourage more to think questions. Thank you very much, minister. I appreciate that a number of points are always put and so forth, but we do have a number of members to get through. Thank you for your co-operation. I call Graeme Simpson to be followed by Alasrall and Mr Simpson. Thank you very much. We need a base load and nuclear should form part of the mix across the UK. The minister has not mentioned nuclear at all. What lessons has she learned from the German nuclear phase out, which sees that country burning more coal than anyone else in Europe? I would refer Graeme Simpson if he maybe looks at the official report yesterday, but I gave a full answer to his colleague Sandesh Gilhane about just why this Government does not believe in nuclear energy. In that answer, I was able to tell Dr Gilhane about the actual price differential between nuclear energy and offshore wind. I was also able to list a raft of European countries who have decided to turn their back on nuclear energy in favour of renewables. With an interconnector due to being in place for 2030, the western aisles are set to host significant renewables developments over the next decade. Considering my constituency as the highest level of fuel poverty, does the minister agree that a just transition must mean that those communities see substantial benefits from hosting such developments? That is one of the asks. We are working with the sector on the onshore sector deal. I was very clear that one of our asks of the industry and the sector was to improve and exceed the type of community benefits that they were putting forward. I would extend that ask of all energy sectors wherever possible. Dr Allan will be interested to know that I not only made suggestions similar to what was included in his question about working closely with communities to develop tangible benefits that would improve the situation of householders with regard to fuel poverty. I also raised the suggestion of investment in local housing stock to keep young people in the area who have significant issues with young people leaving. After all, it will be the young people of rural Scotland who will be potentially delivering on some of those energy infrastructure projects. As Dr Allan knows all too well, housing is a real issue for those areas. Alex Salmond told us in 2010 that Scotland would be the Saudi Arabia of renewables with 130,000 green jobs by 2020, and less than a fifth were created. No one of the STUC consultation reply said that workers had little faith or livelihoods will be protected. Can the minister tell us exactly how many green jobs will be created as a result of the Government's energy plan and how many will be in Scotland and not offshore to overseas firms, such as most of the Scotland leases? I thank the member for the opportunity to outline our projected model on this. With the right support, we believe that the number of low-carbon jobs has modelled to rise from 19,000 in 2019 to 77,000 by 2050 as a result of the just energy transition, delivering a net gain in jobs across the energy production sector overall, and, of course, we want the vast, vast majority of those jobs to be for Scottish workers. Recently, we saw the UK Government's latest contract for a different round, which received no bids for offshore wind projects, and now Rishi Sunak has pulled the rug from under the net zero ambitions of the UK in Scotland. All the evidence tells us that we can protect and create jobs in Scotland if we ensure that we get the energy transition right, helping to cut energy bills and emissions at the same time. What are the biggest barriers holding back this massive potential and preventing our energy future from delivering to the people of Scotland? I thank Mairi McNeill for outlining that, because the absence of offshore wind from the latest contracts for difference round signals that the UK Government has failed to recognise the current market conditions in the renewable energy space. The offshore wind sector is, of course, asking for a more realistic strike price. The outcome raises serious questions about the UK Government's approach to safeguarding energy security, breaking our reliance on imported energy and critically doing everything possible to ensure that the energy sector can capitalise on enormous, so economic and societal opportunities. We have got an ambition in Scotland—the Scotland alone—for 28 gigawatts of renewable electricity going into our grid. If, without any kind of certainty from the UK Government and without recognising that this has to be nurtured and the conditions have to be right for those bids, we are really running the risk that a lot of the developers will walk away from offshore wind projects across the whole of the UK and not just Scotland. I have faith because I have been speaking to UK Government ministers about and I actually do have faith because the sector is saying exactly the same thing as I am that the UK Government will look at what has happened in the AR5 as being a mistake and when AR6 comes around that it will rectify that situation. I call Liam McArthur to be followed by Mark Ruskell. Dr Allan rightly pointed to the huge offshore wind potential of the Northern and the Western Isles. It is a huge opportunity but questions remain how best to realise this and who will benefit. At present, island communities boasting local experience and expert supply chains feel they have been excluded by those planning this energy revolution. Will the minister agree to work with island supply chain experts, such as Ocney Renewable Energy Forum in the European Marine Energy Centre, to bring essential local knowledge and expertise to the table and ensure that our islands are not denied the full benefit of their world-leading renewables potential? That is a very easy question to answer because I absolutely want to work with the organisations that Liam McArthur has just outlined. I am, as they say, champing it a bit to get myself up to Orkney to visit EMIC and all the other organisations. My cabinet secretary was of course there in the summer. I did not have the opportunity to go up in the summer, so as is usual, when I end up visiting Orkney and indeed Shetland, it will probably be the winter months when I am able to do that. If that is an invitation, I am absolutely up for taking it. I call Mark Ruskell to be followed by Emma Harper. Thanks. I welcome the statement and welcome in particular the onshore wind sector deal, which the minister has already alluded to, is at the heart of the Bute House agreement. It looks like through that onshore wind sector deal, we are going to see a doubling of onshore wind capacity in Scotland. That is going to mean that many of our existing wind farms will need to be repowered or extended. That could provide the opportunity to renegotiate community benefit payments, which for many existing wind farms are at quite a low level. They are only at about £1,000 a megawatt with many wind farms in my constituency. Does the minister see opportunities there for how we can maximise the renegotiation of those community benefit payments so that we can get the transformative investment in communities in housing, for example, which she has already mentioned, Dr Allan, that we really need to see coming from renewable energy developments across Scotland? That is a really good suggestion. I genuinely think that the sector will be up for negotiating on that point. I think that one of the issues that we have had with onshore wind is the older iteration of the developments. What community benefits may be weren't as substantial as they could have been. We are seeing across communities that that reputation from that initial development has not been so great. I have absolute faith, with the onshore wind sector deal, that that will change. We are absolutely clear that renewable energy must benefit people across Scotland. Over £25 million of community benefits and renewable projects have been committed to Scottish communities over the last year, and that is going to continue to rise. One of the things that I was saying to the sector time and time again is that the nature of the community benefits and the sort of offer that are made communities have to be engaged very, very early in what they should be, and it should be tangible benefits that impact on householders. Last week, I spoke at a conference at Dynamic Earth to discuss the importance of anaerobic digestion to produce clean energy of which there is a huge potential to achieve from agriculture. Given that the Scottish Government has committed to exploring increasing energy output from innovation such as anaerobic digestion, can the minister comment on how that will be achieved and whether she will work with our agricultural sector to achieve this huge potential for clean energy? Thank Emma Harper for that question. Indeed, I met one of the colleagues from that event the next day when we were talking about that. Waste resources can be produced process through anaerobic digestion and it can be used as replacement for fossil fuels. Biomethine for gas grid injection is becoming increasingly common, providing 920 gigawatt-hours in 2022. It is the second-larger contributor to renewable heat output as well. To deliver an ambition to set out the Scottish Government's vision for agriculture, we will have a support framework that delivers high-quality food production, climate mitigation and adaptation. I see anaerobic digestion as part of that as well in producing biogas and biomethine to help in that ambition. The minister is aware that SSCN intends to construct a substation in the mines and to install new overhead lines. There are huge implications for farming tourism property and wildlife habitats in the area. Does the minister agree with me that new energy infrastructure projects must always be completed with the consent of residents? Will the minister confirm that no attempt will be made to override the concerns of local communities in Scotland following the SNP's failed attempt to amend the UK Government's energy bill? Tess White will understand that, as minister who has responsibilities for consens, I cannot talk about individual applications. However, she makes a very good point. It is in the interests of developers to engage with communities early. That is what the onshore, when sector deal does with regard to onshore development, but of course that also applies for electricity infrastructure. The developers are doing themselves a disservice if they do not engage thoroughly and very early with the communities that may be affected by that infrastructure. Chamberlain knows that Scotland has an abundance of water and there is more potential for more small-scale hydro schemes. What actions will the Scottish Government undertake to assist with the delivery of more of these small-scale schemes? Hydro power has the potential to play a significantly greater role in the energy transition, both at small-scale incorporation with local communities as part of resilient energy supplies in remote parts of Scotland and in the larger scale, providing flexibility services to the grid. Stuart McMillan will be interested to know that I went to Scotland's oldest hydro power station in Crogan over the summer and very much enjoyed hearing from them how the part that hydro plays in any kind of intermittent supply and indeed emergency gap-filling supply that there would be in the electricity grid. I think that there has not been enough done, certainly from the UK Government, to support this particular energy sector, which is absolutely crucial to that security of supply. I would say that there needs to be enough, a lot more assistance, but there is also a great deal of potential in the small-scale ones, and that is why we have, through our community and renewable energy schemes, support for communities who want to do their own hydro schemes. I call Liam Kerr and then I propose to call Steve Kerr if I could have brief and succinct questions and answers with regard to both. I am very grateful, Presiding Officer. The minister said yesterday that the reason AR5 fell to get any offshore windbids was because it underpriced the CFD at £44 per megawatt hour, but she went on to suggest that such wind power could be produced in Scotland for only £37 per megawatt hour. Those statements cannot both be true, so could she clarify and what CFD price would she set? I am not going to put a value on a CFD price. In general terms, at the moment, in AR5, developers stayed away from the offer that the UK Government was giving them. They now have to work with those developers to make sure that in AR6 that they have people wanting to apply for those licenses and contracts for difference. As Liam Kerr has shown such an interest in that, if he can maybe use any influence that he has with the UK Government and stand beside me and indeed the sector in making that reality. The minister has just shown how difficult it is to set such a price, but I was also heartened to hear her say—I presume that this is a Government statement of policy—that she has no willingness to put brakes on oil and gas. Does she agree, then, that it is actually pointless to oppose or object to the Rosebank oilfield licence, as our party colleague Dave Duggan said yesterday on the BBC? I have listened to quite a lot of Scottish Tories over the last couple of days talking about this, and I would point to the fact that what has been very helpful is listening to the interviews that the media has been undertaking with Scottish Tories, where they have been called out in a lot of the ridiculous and mythical claims about what Rosebank will give the UK and Scotland in terms of energy security in particular. I would point to a journalist, Alex Thomson, from Channel 4, who said that he cannot ignore any politicians who say that Rosebank will give the energy self-reliance unless the Government nationalises the oil, developed by Norway in this case. It just gets sold on the global market, makes zero difference to your energy bill, unlike home-developed renewables. It is also a myth that it will bring down fuel bills. The taxpayer bill that Alex Thomson said for developing the oil field will be around £4 billion, and that cash would insulate and provide heat pumps for an awful lot of British homes.


Hi, I'm Shane Shaughnessy. I'm a planner with the City of Columbia. I'm going to be talking to you all about Lunch with a Planner and how that relates to the Citywide Comprehensive Plan. So Lunch with a Planner is a citywide event that we're having. We're trying to have a brief sort of get together different places around the city to have lunch, have people bring their lunch, and just sort of chat about, you know, what they see is going on in the city. In December, it's going to be December 11th at five points, the fountain at five points. And then January 8th, we're going to be in front of the Meridian Building on Main Street, the 1,300 block of Main Street. And we're just going to, you know, have a sit-down chat. And if you see something that the city is doing well, you know, we want to hear about it. Or if you see something that we're not doing so well, we want to hear about it so we can plan for it. Columbia Compass is the 10-year update to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The recommendations that come out of it are going to be very sort of broader-based. They're very ambitious goals, perhaps, but they set the city in the right direction when it comes to prioritizing activities that the city does, when it comes to prioritizing how money is spent, and how we sort of have a broader vision for what we are as a city going forward. So the reason the Comprehensive Plan is an important document is really that it guides us for the next 10 years and even beyond. This is how you as a citizen can really, you know, affect how the city is moving, how the city's future is going to look. If you want to see something, we need to know it now so that we can plan for it ahead of time and know how to allocate funds and know how to build that groundwork for, you know, making Columbia the next big city in the southeast. Our website is columbiacompass.org. You can find different events and dates of events there. You can also find more information about the plan, about the different elements, and what we're thinking, what we're hearing from the community, the feedback that we're getting, and some of the recommendations that we're going to be pushing forward. We still want to hear as much feedback as possible, so if you think of something, if you see something in your community, we want to hear about it so we can actually plan to change or modify it. We're going to be having our sort of our bigger community meetings in January. You can go to our website to find out more information about that. And then going forward, we're going to be looking toward the middle of next year to actually get the draft of the plan out and, you know, try to work with people there and finally get that plan finalized so we can move forward. The lunch with the planner is a monthly event that we're having and we hope to see you there. If you haven't followed us on Facebook or Twitter, our handle is at colacompus and our website is columbiacompus.org. You can find out more about the events there. Thanks.


So I've tried out Qtfish, just like I tried out Dping and Jinguas, and there's something I want to say. First of all, let me say that they do look pretty like all of them. They're very interesting. Dping, as I said, had some design issues that were minor. I think that Qtfish really does a lot of things right. It has a good design. It's very cool that they have a system tray that's collapsed. It's all of the settings you might need in just one place with also the ability to switch to the dark mode. However, when I said all of the things you might need, I was lying because it actually is lacking many of the features you would need for a daily basis usage. And whenever I go through the set of application that ships with it, I see that there are many features lacking just like in the rest of the shell. The application list is very simple, and you cannot even like drag applications to the dock to add them. There are many, many things lacking. And as much as I enjoy the prettiness of Qtfish, whenever I see a person recommending to use it on a chat to realize that it's such a bad idea because you're recommending something because you probably haven't used it or if you have, you're not using it daily, but it looks pretty. You have seen a video of it and it looks pretty. So you assume that it also works nicely for the user, but it doesn't because it's still in development. There's not like a release official version which you can use nicely and be happy with it. It lacks many features and that makes sense because it's not finished. And why would you recommend a product that it's not finished yet? Just to make you an example, I opened settings and I searched for a way to change the desktop layout, sorry, the keyboard layout. There's none. Like you cannot change the keyboard layout. And that's a big issue, like a seriously big one. But I understand it. Like it's a development version, it's a beta. I wouldn't expect everything to be there, but I would also expect people not recommending distributions that don't ship with a way to change the keyboard layout because it's a must have. Also for GingOS, I've seen many, many people saying I should try out GingOS or you should try out GingOS. And then they install GingOS and they're like, what do I do now? Where is this? Where is that? And it's not there because they are still working on it. When like GingOS themselves have said that the product is not ready. So you shouldn't try to go out and say, yeah, it's pretty. So it's really that's a common misconception that I always see linking the beauty of something to its actual usefulness. The fact that something is pretty doesn't mean that it's also useful. It's pretty. Nobody argues with that. But you wouldn't be able to enjoy that beauty on a daily basis because you would be angry at the small stuff, the bugs that are still there. And oftentimes when I see people saying, Katie should be prettier just like cute fish, I understand it. But you also have to realize that the lack of prettiness of plasma compared to those kind of projects, maybe dipping the first version of it, which was in my opinion, prettier and cute fish. The lack of prettiness compared to those really correlates to the fact that we offer so many more features. It's very hard to design a very pretty thing when you have a giant set of application that often uses different ways of styling against like cute fish, which has four applications that were built with the idea of being having that style in mind from the scratch. That's so much harder. And sometimes, like most of the times you cannot have both beauty and perfect usability. Because when you have one, you kind of sacrifice the other. That said, we try to do our best with plasma. We are improving our style. We are doing blue ocean. We are making things a bit more transparent. And again, since plasma is used by so many people, we have a responsibility to not change the design from one day to another completely and go like full transparency. Where is that? It might look pretty, but we also need to think about the responsibility we have towards people that do not like transparency, but like being able to read text on any background very easily. Like maybe older people wouldn't really like to have such transparency if that means that the contrast, the contrast of the text compared to the background is diminished. We also need to think about those people and find a compromise, which we try to do. We made things more transparent, but we also allowed people to make everything opaque if they want or, you know, adaptive so you can have some and some depending on whether you have a window maximized or not. So do try cutfish. This is like a good suggestion, I think. Try it, see what's lacking, make a good list and say, okay, these things are my deal breakers. If I don't have them, I won't use cutfish. Then follow the development and as soon as all of those go off, you can use it. And I think that's a better idea than just not only you can use it, but also I can recommend it to other people. And I think that's a better idea than trying it right now and saying, okay, I want to use this because it's pretty or recommending to others when it's not really. Then let me say one more thing, which is I'm slightly tired of Chinese companies taking plasma and making everything like reinventing the wheel from scratch. I'm a bit tired, like I've seen Deeping do it. I've seen cutfish. I've seen Jinguas ensure they all have their own different thing. Jinguas specifically being built for tablets justifies it a bit more. But when I see cutfish, I think, okay, I still have the patch to make the panel look floating for kitty plasma. And as soon as that lands, what's the point of cutfish? Like, I could install a plasma thing that looks just like see with all of the transparency and stuff, I could make the panel slightly floating just like it is in cutfish.  And sure, it's not as refined because again, it's easier to refine a product with very few features, but you can actually use kitty plasma on a daily basis right now. So yeah, I wish that cutfish instead of like rewriting everything from scratch like they're doing contributed to kitty plasma instead to make a distribution with the exact same look, but actually benefiting from all the features that kitty plasma already has. That's it.
