Rydym ni'n oedwch mor gael o ddegon iawn a ydych yn eu hwnnw i wedi ein gwybod yn roi'r gweithasol yn cyfosig, ac oedd yn geithredu iawn? I thank Martin Whitfield for his point of order, and it was my intention to return to that, and I will do so now. I will return to Martin Whitfield's point of order, which is on the subject of the statement that we are about to discuss being available to others before it was available—well, the report that is the subject of the statement was available to others before it was available to members. The Minister for Parliamentary Business advised the Bureau last night that, due to an inadvertent error, details of the report might enter the public domain before being brought to the chamber. The Bureau decided in light of that, that the statement could be brought forward to today. Given the importance of the subject and uncertainty about whether all members have had sufficient opportunity to consider the full detail on this occasion, I will allow the statement to be made. I have made this decision simply to ensure that all members are able to ask questions off the Cabinet Secretary on an equal footing. I have made it very clear my expectation that all significant announcements of Government policy should be made in the first instance to this chamber. My next item of business is a statement by Shirley-Anne Somerville on Scottish Government response to report by the independent adviser on education reform. The cabinet secretary will take questions at the end of her statement, so there should be no interventions or interruptions. I call on Shirley-Anne Somerville, cabinet secretary. I am grateful to the Parliamentary Bureau for agreeing to my request to bring forward the statement that I had planned to deliver tomorrow. That has been necessary due to an administrative error, where information on the content of the statement and some company in publications was inadvertently shared outside the Scottish Government. I felt that it was therefore important to bring my statement forward to attempt to mitigate the risk of this information being shared publicly and to ensure that the staff in the affected organisations were briefed appropriately. In 22 June 2021, I gave a statement to Parliament on the WECD report on Scotland's curriculum for excellence. At that time, I announced that we would replace the SQA, consider forming a new curriculum and assessment agency, remove the inspection function from Education Scotland and consider further reform to that body. I also announced Professor Ken Muir's appointment as an independent adviser on education reform, with the remit focused on providing advice on the implementation of the OECD's recommendations for structural and functional change of the SQA and Education Scotland. I am grateful for the opportunity to update Parliament further to receiving Professor Muir's report. When I asked Professor Muir to undertake this work, I encouraged him to recommend the changes needed to deliver and improve the educational experience for children and young people. I would like to put on record my sincere thanks to him for providing me with a thorough, detailed and challenging report. I am also grateful to all who took part in Professor Muir's engagements and consultation. The response to this exercise has been significant, and I am heartened by our collective commitment to education and the strength of support for change. I would also like to thank the staff, the unions and the management of SQA and Education Scotland for their constructive engagement. Staff at all levels have continued to undertake critical work, despite experiencing personal uncertainty about the future roles of their organisations. I would like to place on record my gratitude for their professionalism and their commitment. In the period ahead, it will be vital that staff in both organisations are supported to allow them to focus on their continuing crucial work. The case for reform was supported by the OECD report and has been further strengthened by Professor Muir's recommendations. As Professor Muir said in his introduction, his recommendations place children, young people and those teachers and practitioners who support their learning more firmly at the heart of the education system. With that in mind, the Scottish Government welcomes Professor Muir's report and broadly accepts his recommendations. Today, I can confirm that the SQA will be replaced and that the Scottish Government will legislate for the creation of a new non-departmental public body with responsibility for the development and awarding of qualifications. Crucially, that body will reflect the cultures and the values that we want to see embedded through our education and skills system, one that puts learners at the centre, supports our teachers and practitioners and instills integrity, fairness and accountability throughout their approach to recognising achievements in education. I agree with Professor Muir that the accreditation and regulation functions should be independent from the awarding body. However, careful consideration is required in relation to where those functions should sit, in particularly ensuring that the independence of those regulatory functions is secured. Further focus work on that aspect, drawing on the knowledge and experience that exists within the SQA, will take place over the next few months. It is often said that nothing is more important in schools than the quality of teaching and school leadership and providing the best possible support for those who work with learners no matter the setting is therefore crucial. I can confirm that we will establish a new agency building on the expertise within Education Scotland that will provide excellent leadership and support for curriculum assessment, learning and teaching, while also having a lead role in the relation to curriculum for excellence. The OECD challenged us to consider the creation of a curriculum and assessment agency. In understanding the close link to learning and teaching, we believe that all those functions should be drawn together in one national agency. I agree with Professor Muir's recommendation that a distinct function of the new agency should be responsive delivery that more consistently meets the needs of teachers and practitioners at local and regional levels. That agency will therefore have a clear set of functions, it will be teacher-facing, visible and valued by the profession it serves. I want teachers to feel that this is their agency responding to their needs and therefore to the needs of learners. An independent inspectorate will play a crucial role in Scottish education by helping to enhance the quality of teaching, learning and leadership, while also providing an objective assessment of performance. The Scottish Government intends to legislate to ensure the independence of this new inspectorate. A key early task is to establish a new model of inspection that is supportive, inclusive and able to evaluate the performance of the system itself, nationally and locally. It will be important for the inspectorate to build relationships through consultation and engagement on new approaches to inspection. I also welcome Professor Muir's recommendation in relation to the creation of a shared framework for the inspection of early learning and childcare. That proposal is a step forward. I am, however, conscious of the challenges that the ELC sector has raised regarding the dual inspection regime and will consider that recommendation further in context of the national care service reforms as we take forward work on the new inspection body. I will come forward with specific proposals to consult with the ELC sector before the summer. This consultation will take place alongside the important work of establishing the independent education inspectorate and will not delay that process. My announcements today are significant and are designed to strengthen the education landscape and to provide clarity and coherence. However, if we are to place learners at the centre of our education system, we must also reform the culture of the bodies and indeed the system itself. Professor Muir's message in that respect is challenging and we must all do more. Our renewed system must reflect the culture and values that we want to see embedded throughout. It must be a system that puts learners at the centre and provides excellent support for our teachers and practitioners, but it must also be a system where there is clear accountability—democratic accountability, organisational accountability but also accountability to the learners who have a right to expect the highest quality of learning and teaching of giving them the best chance of success. A clear and unambiguous learner focus must therefore be a feature of the way that we take this work forward. Professor Muir's report contains some hard messages from young people about their experience of education and one way to address this is to ensure that the voices are heard more clearly and more often. We need a culture and mindset that places the needs of individual learners and they are learning at the centre of decision making, all actions and all behaviours. We also need a culture and mindset that ensures that those working with learners can have their professional needs readily supported. A commitment to openness and to meeting the needs of learners and those who work with them must also be clear in the leadership of our system. The new bodies must also be future-proofed in their design. We must learn, of course, from the experience of the pandemic and must also be ready to further evolve, including because of the work on qualifications and assessment being led by Professor Louise Hayward. I understand that the last two years have been hard and that school staff are weary. However, what we have learned from the pandemic and together with the OECD reports is that there is an impetus for change. Many of those Professor Muir engaged with also felt that this was a good time to closely look at the future of education in Scotland. We will therefore lead a national discussion on the vision for a future of Scottish education and will appoint an independent facilitator to assist with that work. I am committed to working with everyone in education to accelerate efforts to achieve excellence and equity for Scotland's children and young people and I will seek to engage as many interests as possible as we take this forward. I hope that we can work together, not on a Scottish Government's vision for education but for a vision for education that we share. That vision can build on existing commitments, such as the OECD recommendations, the national improvement framework, the Scottish attainment challenge, empowerment and work that has already been undertaken across tertiary employer and wider skills and learning landscapes, as well as the important principles developed in Professor Muir's report. I hope that we all share a determination post-pandemic to also intensify efforts to close the poverty-related attainment gap and tackle variation in outcomes that are achieved by children in different parts of the country. Today, I have announced the creation of three new education bodies underpinned by new values and new governance. I have also announced my intention to work in partnership to build a new vision for Scottish education. Those changes are significant and are designed to improve outcomes and build trust in the Scottish education system. Our system is much to be proud of but needs to evolve and to improve. At the same time, I fully appreciate that the decisions that I have announced today will have a direct impact on the staff of both the SQA and Education Scotland. I want to thank them for their continued willingness to deliver in a time of change and I emphasise my assurance that there will be no compulsory redundancies as a result of reform. I am fully committed to continuous and meaningful engagement with all those affected by the reform and will be establishing a forum between the Scottish Government, the SQA and Education Scotland and their trade unions to ensure that all staff are involved throughout the process. Some changes will take time, but I want to move through the agenda at pace with operating models for new bodies in place by the end of this year. I will be discussing the next steps with a wide range of stakeholders, as well as the Scottish Education Council and the International Council for Education Advisers. The work of the OECD, Professor Muir and in time Professor Hayward are providing us with an opportunity to renew key parts of our education system, reimagine the culture of the system and agree a new vision for Scottish education in a post-pandemic era. Today, I set out the key decisions in our reform journey and I now look forward to working with learners, parents, teaching and support staff, the staff from the respective agencies, our partners and members across the chamber on how those recommendations can be taken forward. The cabinet secretary will now take questions on the issues raised in her statement. I intend to allow around 20 minutes for questions after which we will move on to the next item of business. I would be grateful if members wished to ask a question where to press their request to speak buttons now. I call Oliver Mundell. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I may start, along with just about everyone in Scotland, by thanking the cabinet secretary for advance sight of her statement or should I say press summary. Whether you read its contents online or heard about them in this chamber, they are just as depressing and hollow. The SNP has fritted away another opportunity to fix our broken education system. After 15 years of neglect on their watch, Scotland's education system requires a major overhaul, not a rebranding of the SQA in Education Scotland, mascarading as serious change. The public are not going to be fooled by this spin when they recognise the magnitude of the problems in education that this SNP Government has created and exacerbated. Pupul's teachers and parents were promised a new strategy, but it seems that the SNP is only willing to commit cosmetic changes rather than addressing the failures at the heart of our education system. The idea that the SQA will continue to play a role until 2024 and will have the chance to shape and influence the replacement is outrageous and speaks to the overconfidence that ministers continue to have in their own agencies. Where is the leadership and vision? Where is the ambition for this and future generations of Scots? How on earth can we trust the same SNP Government who have diminished Scottish education to restore it when they fail time and time again to rise to the scale of the challenge? Don't our young people deserve more than this? I would say to Mr Mundell that we have broadly accepted Professor Muir's recommendations. He made quite happily attack the Government at will, but, to be honest, he also does a disservice to Professor Muir and the work that has been undertaken, as well as the consultation that he spent an exceptionally great deal of time undertaking. That is why we have committed to taking forward the recommendations that we have. It is important that we involve the staff of those agencies. I appreciate that people will have different views on both those agencies and decisions that have been taken in the past, but there are staff who work there who are exceptionally knowledgeable and expert at the areas of work. Of course I think that the staff themselves should play a part in having a view on what happens with the functions that we are talking about here, as will external stakeholders, trade unions, parents and young people. However, I hope that everyone agrees that the functions that are carried out by the organisations are all required and that we need those functions in the future. Therefore, the question is about the structure, the culture and the governance that are underpin those functions. I have spoken about the culture and values and my commitment to a new Government. I want to work with the staff and external stakeholders and, as I said, members across the chamber to see what we can now do to ensure that those culture and values are in pin within our education system and the learners right at the centre. If members are saying that the functions should be organised incorrectly, I am more than happy to hear some of the details about how we should do that differently, but if they are not, then what they are talking about is how we move forward with this, then I would genuinely welcome, even with Mr Mundell, the opportunity to work together to achieve the type of system that I have spoken about today with new governance, new values underpinning that commitment within the agencies that I have spoken about. Myrton Wittfield Michael Marra And thanks to Twitter, the Scotsman, the Scottish Youth Parliament and so many more for an advanced site of the report. This statement should have started with an apology for why we have arrived at this point and a little bit of humility as to the mess the Government has created. We should place on record our thanks to the SQA and Education Scotland staff who have used their commitment and expertise to tirelessly work through the pandemic, like Scotland's young people. They have been shamefully let down by their leadership of the organisations and the ministers of this Government. Given the level of expectation and engagement with the report, it is unfathomable that the Government would do anything but accept and fool the recommendations that it sets out. The shambles this week alone make clear that the SQA cannot possibly be left to preside over another generation of senior phase pupils when the cabinet secretary has made clear today that it is not fit for purpose. Simply put, this cannot be a rebrand of the organisation as it appears to be. As for the sorrowful lack of personal vision or ideas from this Government, the new crowdsourced vision for education joins the swollen ranks of reviews and working groups doomed to produce nothing. I have three questions for the cabinet secretary. Will she ensure that the current management of the SQA, not the staff, the management, is gone this week and will have no role in the new organisations? Will she work with those benches as we have set out in the past to move more quickly on the process of reform to often delayed? Will she move to immediately establish an independent inspectorate for schools as a precursor to the full inspectorate given the collapse in school inspections in Scotland? I can absolutely say that this is not a rebranding exercise and I won't go over the reasons for that except, of course, to point to the importance of the governance that we are putting in place. I am sorry that the cynical nature of the member's views on crowdsourcing opinions. I would take that as consultation and I would take that as working together. It is what Governments are always told to do is that we ensure that the Scottish Government does not say what the vision is for education, but we work with other people to develop that vision. It is something that came strongly through the Mure consultation and it is something that I hear very, very loud and clear from stakeholders themselves. Again, I appreciate that people have concerns and they have made it loud and clear about the current management within the SQA, but I have to say with a greater respect to say suck the management seven weeks before exam start is not a responsible part for Government to play seven weeks to go and we will just take the heads away from it. I think that that is deeply irresponsible and, of course, the SQA, including its leadership, as well as its staff, will continue to work exceptionally hard to deliver the diets of exams in a few weeks' time. I have spoken about my desire to move quickly on that issue and to see what can be done to expedite those timetables. I would point out that it will take time if some of those issues are going to go through as legislation. Again, I think that it is right that I am laying the foundations for the new agencies today, but a great deal of the detail has yet to be agreed. Over the past few weeks, I have been asked by trade unions not to make too many detailed announcements today, but to take that as a starting point to work with them. That is what I have been asked to do and that is what I have done. Next is, of course, the work on the operating models and that consultation. A bill takes time to go through this Parliament quite rightly, and I do not think that it would be responsible to make changes to the SQA just before an exam diet. If Opposition members do not like the timetable that I am laying out, I am genuinely interested in what they think I should cut the consultation with external stakeholders or parliamentary scrutiny. Whilst reform is necessary, it is clearly an uncertain time for the staff directly involved, and we must take their anxieties seriously. What assurances can the cabinet secretary provide to staff at Education Scotland and the SQA that the Scottish Government will ensure job security, champion the principles of fair work and undertake meaningful engagement with staff throughout the reform process? I said in my statement that one of my major concerns as we go through this process is, of course, the impact on staff and the uncertainty that any change in reform process brings. In December, I made a commitment through a reform process that we would look at the terms and conditions of staff and ensure that they were protected. Of course, as I mentioned in my statement, there will be no compulsory redundancies because of the reform process. That absolutely does remain the case, and I commend the staff for continuing to work during these really difficult and uncertain times. I understand that what does that mean for us? Information note has been shared with staff today, often named background in the process so far about the next steps and what that means for them. I will give my personal commitment, as well as the commitment of my officials, of course, to work very closely with all staff and, very importantly, with their trade union representatives as we go through this process to pay due respect to the staff, the expertise that they have and how that can be best utilised during this process. Before we come to the next question, I would be grateful if we could make sure that questions and responses are short and succinct, as many members would like to get in. I call Megan Gallacher. It was reported this morning that the SQA and Education Scotland will be scrapped and replaced with a new qualifications body and agency by summer 2024. How can the Scottish Government guarantee a smooth transition to a new qualifications body to ensure that young people and teachers do not have to endure yet further chaos to the examination diet that we have experienced in recent years? Furthermore, does the cabinet secretary think that it is reasonable that young people have to wait for yet another Government report to find out the changes to the education system? I have laid out the foundations, as I have said, for those new agencies today, but I would go to the point where I have spoken particularly to trade unions over the past few weeks and they have made very clear to me their desire for this not to be complete from Government today, but that we continue to work with them on the details of us. Again, I think that that is the right way to make policy to listen to the professional associations, to listen to young people, and that is what I am determined to do. The member raises a very important point about the transition process. The staff, including the leadership of the both organisations, have incredibly important work to do. They need to be supported in the transition process so that we can ensure that young people and staff will be supported during the transition process. That is why we are looking at the operation models very quickly and at what can be done around shadow organisations to make sure that we are moving seamlessly into that process, but I will be able to report back further on that to Parliament in due course once we have further discussed that very importantly with the trade unions and with stakeholders. Stuart McMillan, to be followed by Martyn Whitfield. I welcome Professor Muir's recognition that the education system must reflect the principles of subsidiarity and genuinely empower teachers and practitioners. How will that be ensured in the new institutional landscape? Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills I mentioned in my statement that this agency needs to look, feel and be at the teachers' agency. By default, it will be an agency of government, but I really want to ensure that, through the governance structures that are being set up around this, teachers feel that the new agency that will replace Education Scotland will be the teachers' agency. That is very important to me and that is part of the empowerment agenda that we have. As I said, a great deal of work is still to be done around that structure and Governments. I am determined to work with teachers and their trade unions to ensure that we embed that type of culture and structure that I have spoken about and importantly how the governance can work to ensure that we deliver up on that. Martin Whitfield to be followed by Bob Dorris. A young person who started high school at the start of this pandemic will have left before any change discussed today will be seen. The Cabinet Secretary has spoken about an operational model by the end of this year and the Scottish Government has said that it will broadly accept most of the recommendations. Can we have a Government debate where we can listen to why only broad acceptance is being done and when will the draft bill creating the executive non-departmental public body be published and when will the bill guaranteeing independence of the inspectorate be published? I certainly hope that that can be done as expeditially as possible, but much of that will, of course, depend on the consultation that we are about to undertake to ensure that we are getting the detail of that right. Taking one example, there are a number of views within the chamber—never mind outside the chamber—on governance structures, for example, of the SQA and, indeed, of the new body that will replace Education Scotland. What is the role of teachers? What is the role of young people within that? We, of course, need to look at some of the reports that have been had in the past about where we need to learn from previous experience both with the SQA and Education Scotland on governance matters. I am very determined to give one example of that, to be able to work with unions and stakeholders on that. I point to the timetable and say that I would like to make it as short as possible, but if we need to consult and get a bill through Parliament, then that does, unfortunately, take time, but it is quite right that it does so. If members have suggestions about how that could be expedited, I am more than happy to have those discussions, but the consultation is exceptionally important, as is the parliamentary scrutiny that will happen as we discuss some of the different options that we have, for example, on governance. Bob Doris, to be followed by Willie Rennie. Presiding Officer, the statement outlines significant organisational change over the next couple of years. However, young people sit to exams in just a few weeks' time to certainty and the need to stability. Can the cabinet secretary assure those pupils and students right across Scotland who are sitting to exams this year that the exam diet remains on track and will be unaffected by the reform process that is currently under way? I think that it is very important that I can reassure learners that the reform process that is under way will not impact on the exam diet that is due to start very soon. I know that both the senior leadership and staff within SQA are determined to be able to take that process forward in a professional manner to ensure that learners have a smooth process to take part in it, and I wish them every success to those learners when they do so. The SNP Government wasted years dragging its feet on breaking up Education Scotland and scrapping the SQA. Meanwhile, Scottish education slipped down the international rankings, so reform is urgent yet everyone will need to wait for another two years before we get the change that we have been crying out for. Can the minister guarantee that there will be new leadership of the organisations, or is it going to be the same top people with different roles? Structural reform is not enough, so is the new focus of the education agency be on producing top-down policy direction or acting as facilitators for teachers to discuss and develop the curriculum? I have mentioned a number of times in my statement my absolute desire for the agency not to be seen or to be top-down but to be something that is absolutely responsive to the needs of teachers. I think that that is a very important and significant change that we can make. I know that this is something that Education Scotland has been working on, but I think that this is an opportunity to take this to the next level. Again, the leadership of both organisations will remain critical, as the organisations have vital roles within the education system. The design of an appropriate leadership structure to support delivery of the agreed functions in the new agencies is a priority to be decided. Once that is agreed by the Scottish ministers, we will ensure that the new bodies are appropriately staffed and led and that processes around recruitment where appropriate are carried out. I understand that it was the OECD that recommended that we should explore assigning curriculum and assessment to a specialist stand-alone agency. Can the cabinet secretary explain why she has adopted the approach and how she sees it being different from what we have now? Professor Muir set out in his report that, in his opinion, a specialist body that just focuses on curriculum and assessment would not be enough to deliver the improved outcomes that he wishes to see for learners and, indeed, so does the Government. He has proposed a single agency with a broader remit, and we are happy to take up that recommendation and establish that new agency for Scottish education. The work that Professor Muir has done in the consultation to ensure that we can bring roles and responsibilities together will help with one of the challenges, which the OECD rightly pointed out, around some confusion about roles within Scottish education and, therefore, the leadership within Scottish education. I think that what Professor Muir has recommended around the new body will very much tackle some of those challenges that the OECD pointed out. One of the themes in the report is that pupils, parents and carers, and particularly teachers, do not feel respected or trusted by the SQA in Education Scotland. Does the cabinet secretary therefore agree that they should all be directly involved in the permanent governance structures of the new agencies, not just in the initial set-up phase and not just through arm's length advisory arrangements? As I said earlier, one of the areas where there are a variety of different views about how we can bring pupils and teachers best into this and where that fits into the process, I am absolutely determined that that is a permanent feature, certainly not just in the consultation and not just in the set-up process. It is a matter of how that is done rather than should it be done. I think that we just need to work through the details of it to ensure, of course, that the structures are in place for good Governments. Members across the chamber, including Mr Gray, will have very passionate opinions on that. I am more than happy to work with any member who has a view on the governance structures that they should have within the new organisations. Rona Mackay to be followed by Stephen Kerr. I am keen to know how young people can be central to the future decision-making of the education system and how the Scottish Government will ensure that learners are central to not just the process of this reform but in the years to come the decision-making of institutions that are outlined today. I have responded to my answer with Ross Greer, so I will not repeat it, but it is important that we have that directional change that Professor Muir has discussed in his report about putting learners at the centre of everything that we do. The challenge for Government and Parliament, as the bill will progress around those agencies, is how we turn that into reality and how we can embed that within a governance structure to ensure that we can use governance as a way of developing that culture and mindset. Stephen Kerr. Another week, another educational omni shambles from this clapped-out Government. Appendix B of the report is a revelation. If anyone has any doubt about the failure of 15 years of SNP Government, read the key findings of the public consultation. Among those conclusions and inputs were fears that were expressed that the proposed reforms could end up consisting of system changes that simply rebrand the current system rather than providing any meaningful cultural change. The enhanced vision of the new independent inspectorate body will need resources, so will the cabinet secretary ensure that the resources are made available which cannot yet be another project that is announced and that no money is set aside to make it happen? I have made very clear that this is not a rebranding exercise. There are three new agencies with new cultural values and new governance structures to support those cultural values, and I am determined to work with others to ensure that we can embed that where necessary in legislation. Of course, the inspectorate body, as it exists at the moment, is resourced, and we will ensure that the new inspectorate body, when it is set up, is fully resourced to carry out the functions that it is required to do by the statute that will be passed by this Parliament.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We had new content today on Friday in FIFA Ultimate Team with the pre-season promo. I wanna talk about it.  We're getting it done, all right? You have to dress up a count as well. This is the first thing I wanna talk about today, this lone icon moments pack. I don't know, I haven't looked at the objectives like super-duper intact. Wait, this is a non-boards. What is this pack animation, bro? Anyways, I think these icons might have something to do with objectives, maybe? Maybe not yet? Oh, Maldini, nice, GGs. But they gave us those five prime icon moments cards today, and we have road to the final stuff to discuss as well. Mason Greenwood's SBC finally came out in this game. Three star skill moves, yuck, five star weak foot, though. I wish they would have upgraded that weak foot. All right, excuse me, the skill moves. That would have been sick. Four Mason Greenwood, but all the GGMU fans are feeling great at the moment, and we gotta talk about the other roads of the final upgrades that actually happened. Europa League road to the final cards got upgraded today. So that's something we need to look at, as well talk about Champions League games that happened on Friday as well. And then again, what more movements we could see for today's games, Saturday's games, sorry, Friday's games, and now Saturday's games on Champions League. So basically, this is a pretty cool objective right here, in my opinion. You play 10 squad battles matches, scored five rivals matches with bonus figures throughout players. You get three any Toss SF packs from objectives, and you get a coin boost of fever 21. This objective is kind of cool. I mean, you have to grind the game a little bit, but you can play the 10 squad battles matches on professional difficulty, use a squad battles glitch. That'll be pretty easy. You could honestly get the five rivals games done with bonus league of players and Serie A players, and then actually maybe, I don't know, maybe you could. You might be able to rig this up so that you could do it the first five games, and those five games count for this as well. Maybe not three players in the squad, each from the following leagues, score five, and maybe. So nine players, and they had to score with bonus league and Serie A. So yeah, you might be able to do this five games, and then just do five more games, and then you'll get three Toss packs and a boost, and then here's the one with the icons. That's what it was. The icon moments are used in the iconic interplay. That's kind of a weird objective name, but you get a prime gold players pack in fever 20, and the engine chemistry style in fever 21. So the objectives today were just kind of okay, but they're not bad. I mean, it's kind of grindable content and sort of good. The reason why I said it is because you get the three any Toss SF packs, that's not terrible, but I honestly wouldn't say that it's like great or anything super fantastic. It just is what it is. And then this makes me agree with SBC. The card looks dope. It really does. This is a very highly sought after card. A lot of people wanted it, but instead, it came a bit later. 84, 85 rated squads for this. Footbin is telling me that right now, this SBC is coming in around at, how much is this SBC? 300,000 coins for Mason Greenwood. If you're gonna do this SBC, I would highly recommend crafting him if you are able. With 81 plus packs, I know they're not really worth opening right now because if there's not a lot of stuff that is in packs, but I think I would go out and try to craft this card because honestly, that's kind of expensive to do out of pocket. 300K with this card right here with a three stars skill moves and the five star weak foot.  It is a live item as well. You're gonna see, most likely this card's gonna get upgraded. It could get upgraded two more times, I believe. I think it's just two more times, not three. So this card could get upgraded two more times. That was all the content that we got on Friday. UCL halftime challenge, I guess we did see this as well. What other SBCs could we see today on Saturday, right? Probably another UCL halftime challenge. Do I think we'll get another live card? I don't think that we'll get another live card. How many have we had? We got Megatarian, Sarabia, Valverde, and now Greenwood. And then on Sufati, we've had five more live items that have been released in this game. We still have not seen a Champions League Summer, or as Champions League Showdown SBC or any top transfer content yet. I don't understand why we haven't seen just any of that yet. Like, come on EA Sports, like drop. All we've seen so far for the past week is just live updating road to the final players. Like, that's literally the only cards that we've seen in this game added. And it's not saying that it's boring, but I mean, I'd like to see a little bit more from EA Sports. Now, let's continue to talk about the upgrades because the Europa League cards that deserved upgrades, Martial, Handanovic, Diego Carlos. If we go take a look at the front screen of FIFA or a foot bin, I mean. Some of these cards are on here. Carlos got upgraded, Jimenez got upgraded, Martial, Handanovic, and I already said Diego Carlos. I think there was four items that got upgraded. I think it was just four. So obviously guys like Martial, what happened with his price after he did get the upgrade? I'm imagining, I don't know exactly when he got the upgrade, but I'm assuming it was a couple hours ago. And it looks like his price has honestly just been chilling. I don't think it's really gonna go that much higher. You know, it probably went up a little bit today towards the end of the day with people linking this card to Mason Greenwood. And you might see a little bit more of this card rising a little bit just because it's rare. It's getting close to his price of max though. So I don't really think this is a good investment. Even if he does go to a 92, which I think he will be getting there. His max price range is 280,000 coins and EA are not updating price ranges like at all. Here's a perfect example. Harry Kane was in team of the week like two what? Two or three weeks ago, the man still extinct at 100,000 coins, right? His Akin Fennel was still extinct. His Akin Fennel was extinct at 50K as well. Okay, he's actually back down. He's just not that desired anymore. But all I'm saying is don't expect price range updates from EA sports for these live items. So if they're getting close to their max or if they're getting close to something where they went up a bunch, like this card's max is 55, oh wow. Raul Himan is his max price right now, 55K. What about Wendell? This is one that I'm actually interested in a little bit because a lot of people had invested in this card.  GGs, what happened with this one? He is at 46,000 coins with a max of 60. He's honestly been like upper 50s all day, interesting. So looks like he's actually gone down since the upgrade came out. Looks like there might have been a bit of over investing on this card is what it seems to me because he was in the 50Ks after they did win, Wednesday, Thursday, even yesterday, staying above the higher 50 range and now he's down about 10,000 coins. So is this an investment at some point? Absolutely because this is still a live item that could get upgraded. Watch kind of the, maybe you watch this card into the morning a little bit more. This is still a desirable card. If I would see this drop anywhere down in the range, wow, he was 42, 43K in the early week. If this guy gets down to like 41, 42, 43,000 coins, maybe even like 45, I might snag one for the club because this card could definitely be back at 60,000 coins when the hype continues for the Europa League games later on this next week. So just kind of keep an eye on this one. I don't know if any of the other ones dropped. What if I take a look at like Juan Jesus because they lost. So this card's not going to get upgraded anymore. What is this guy at 45,000 coins? Yes, he was up at 60K and then after they lost I'm assuming he just tanked down. Yeah, so we just tanked a bunch down after that game. It's been kind of around like the 45K right now. It looks like an undercut kind of low, but he is not going to get any more upgrades throughout the year. Neither is Mictarian. So if he did that SBC bit of a rip, but it is what it is. So again, I mean, if you want to buy any of these road to the final cards and use them in your game, in your team, we're talking the Europa League cards right now, because these are the only ones that have gotten upgraded. And based on this timeframe, since it took them basically, what is this? It took them two days ish to upgrade these cards after the Europa League games finished. I would expect that these cards, the DiBala would probably get updated on Sunday night. So like Juventus today, if we look at some of the Champions League games, Juventus and Manchester City end up, or excuse me, not Juventus, Lyon. Lyon end up going through. I was thinking of Juventus' scoreline today. So Lyon actually go through on aggregate, knocking out Juventus. So instead of looking at DiBala, we should be really looking at DePie. So Lyon goes through to play Manchester City in the quarterfinals. So of course, Manchester City, a guy like Márez is gonna get upgraded. Now there's not a ton of hype with this card because he already has a team in the season and it's the only live item from Manchester City but he is extinct at the moment where he's kind of been chilling out all day. 110K, we need the price range update there. What happened with DiBala? Because now, you know, this is an item that I would get kind of interested in. How much did he drop? 100K, wow. This guy's literally down 100,000 coins. He was 215K earlier today, down to 98. He was down at 93,000 coins. This is something that I would get interested in right here, boys. I would get interested in this because I know his Tots cards won 70, but these row to the finals are so rare that I do think it's gonna rebound at some point. So, you know, if there's cards that are very popular like a DiBala like this, any of the games that are played today, who plays today? Bayern and Chelsea, Barcelona and Napoli. Let's say Barcelona pull through or let's say Napoli pull through either Allen or Usman Dembele, whichever one of those two cards drops off a cliff today because it's not gonna get upgraded anymore. This card is still kind of inflated, right? Because they play their game today. The loser of the Napoli Barcelona game, I'm gonna be very interested in to possibly buy in the low.  That's almost flippable for a small profit right there, but it's probably not worth it. This card, if it drops at all tomorrow and it sell off after the game, Chelsea are down 3-0. And now as long as Chelsea don't start to make a comeback, Bayern should be going through. So I wouldn't really get too interested in that one in my opinion. I don't think I'd mess with that one too much just because I feel like there's not a ton of room or that Conte to go up. Even if Chelsea do come back, then I could see that card going up a decent amount, but I would not really focus on that one too much. Guretsk was probably gonna stay high and keep rising. I mean, look, I watched a card of this transfer list like two weeks ago at 115K, and he's now 230,000 coins. So a lot of these road to the finals are up an insane amount. And again, I think based on how these Europa League cards got upgraded, I'm thinking these champions that he wrote to the finals are going to get, they're going to get upgraded on Sunday night. So it's not tonight on Saturday night, unless EA upgrades them early. That is what I'm kind of thinking for these dudes right here. So you'll probably see them get their plus ones on Sunday night. Rest of the market today, I mean, I'm assuming SBC fodder went up today because of Greenwood, 83s or 5,000 coins. Yeah, SBC fodder is back to being very expensive. People are doing the icon SBCs, the 86 pluses that they're still in the game. Other content that we could see today, I hope we get something new, man. A champion's showdown. Give us some sort of other like pack, please EA. Like, I mean, you got to keep the menu content flowing because right now this preseason promo is definitely not as big of a W. It's more of an L than what I'm seeing from what summer heat was. Honestly, it's kind of just transitioning over to an L which sucks, but it is kind of the end of FIFA anyways and it is what it is. All right, boys. So if you did your Greenwood, hey, if you're pumped for Greenwood, let me know if you didn't drop it down in the comments. Let me know if you did Greenwood and what your take would be on these new objectives as well. I'm kind of a fan of this Tots triple threat because you get three Tots packs for playing 10 games, basically. So I don't mind that at all. And then of course, if you want, if you're hyped for your engine chemistry style in FIFA 21, you can play with some icon moments cards and get that. So again, the roads to the final cards are kind of the craze right now. Like that's the stuff that's really going on in this game. It's crazy that right now in August, yes, we have champions like this going on, but it's kind of crazy to me that we're not worried about the best cards in the game. Like we're not team of the years, team of the seasons, yes, they're in packs, but the cards that we're honestly worrying about the most on the market are cards that are not even close to those in rating, right? I mean, some of them are similar. Ibala's 93, of course, but like Alan 90 rated. Martial 91 rated. Now I'm glad EA gave them the plus three boost, but still not irrelevant, but just a little bit less relevant than some of those Tots cards, some of those team of the year cards and the likes of those. So if you have any questions or whatever dropping down below in the comments, if you did enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up and of course subscribe to the channel if you're new. It's gonna be a nice day of Champions League football. And then of course we have a quick turnaround with some Wednesday Thursday games for Champions League next week as well. So we'll be talking about that as we go into the week this next week. But again, boys, it's been Nate, The Foot Accountant. I will catch you guys later. Peace out.


There you go, Dr. O. In this video I want to cover the three types of capillaries. So you can see here we have continuous capillaries, fenestrated capillaries, and sinusoid. So the key difference is what size of things they'll allow through. So continuous capillary, it's the most common type of capillary. Most of the capillaries in your body are going to be continuous capillaries. So like the name implies, they're continuous. There's no large openings, there's no holes. So very small things are able to transport through continuous capillaries. Most of your continuous capillaries also have transport vesicles that will carry things in and out. So continuous. So capillaries are designed to move things, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste. So continuous capillaries will move lots of materials, but only things that are small. Your blood-brain barrier is a special kind of continuous capillary that doesn't have these transport vesicles, so it moves very little stuff. We'll cover that with the nervous system, but the blood-brain barrier is designed to basically isolate your brain and spinal cord from the rest of your body. All right, so those are continuous capillaries. They move small things. Next we have the fenestrated capillaries, and just so you know, fenestrum means windows. So these are going to move maybe medium-sized things because they have these openings called fenestrations or windows. So they're still pretty tight, and they don't have large gaps like the sinusoids do, but they can move a lot more material and things that are slightly larger. So where might you see these? The small intestine, because that's where especially the genuina of the small intestine is where like 80 to 90% of digestion absorption takes place. Your kidneys would have fenestrated capillaries. Think about the gallons and gallons of material that they have to filter through every day. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, those would be good examples as well of areas that have fenestrated capillaries. So if you need to move a whole lot of stuff or things that are slightly larger, you would want a fenestrated capillary. The third kind is called a sinusoid. These literally have gaps and spaces in them, so they're going to move large things. Things that could never fit through a continuous capillary or a fenestrated capillary. So this would be kind of looks porous like Swiss cheese, right? But this would be even some cells can fit through these large plasma protein cells. These kind of things are going to have to fit through these special sinusoids. Where might you find these? The liver. The liver has to move unbelievable amounts of things, and the things that it are making like plasma proteins have to squeeze out a bone marrow, right? The bone marrow is making cells. They have to be able to fit through these openings to get into your circulatory systems. Lymph nodes are going to have sinusoids, but those are going to be carrying lymph, not blood. So you're going to see these sinusoids in other places too, but those are going to be the key areas. One last thing about sinusoids though, these openings are so large and that's great that lots of good things can get through, but also means potentially that bad things can get through. So it's key to remember that sinusoids are going to be lined with macrophages. Macrophages are immune cells that are cell eaters, right? They will engulf things that shouldn't be there. They also will warn your immune system if things are showing up that shouldn't be there. So because these large openings were kind of vulnerable, so that's why your sinusoids are lined with macrophages. So all right, I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


you know actually I'm very proud of the sisters what they are doing their love of Qur'an their teaching of Qur'an and like Dr. Rania Masha'Allah it's looking look at this beautiful Mejlis Masha'Allah

Ramadan have a list sign up inshallah next Ramadan you come to us in here to Dr. Rania or to me or order sister Khosy I give her permission to teach now as you see her Tujweed is beautiful her pronunciation is beautiful we are not here Tujweed is not a voice don't say I don't have a good voice never say that Tujweed as Dr. Rania know is not a voice is the roles of Tujweed roles of Quran they've been syrup from Jibril to Prophet Muhammad to the Sahaba so young girls in here if you're not reciting Quran fluently slowly maybe you never recited the whole Quran you're still in the beginning you recited few sisters and I am my Quran is not fluent what's the solution solution is to get in and have intention of reciting Quran for learning learning is you get more reward than just for worshipping because the knowledge is something mashallah noble something is is high so get in and recite the whole Quran start you know half an hour every day when you recite the whole Quran you're gonna be fluent and also Tujweed roles you have to ask every time what is this what is this do some work inshallah and read the whole Quran by the next Ramadan with intention of learning inshallah consult with Dr. Rania and the others there is many other sisters who have Ijazah in Quran inshallah allow me to give something for sister this is for you and this is the yeah please forgive me I take your time Dr. Rania and the others I don't surprises don't happen very often to me Allah always reveals something and they get spoiled this is the first time I think in my life I've ever been this shocked and surprised I had no idea wallahi not even a single idea inkling I would not have come here sitting first row thank you I'm so overwhelmed with so many feelings right now as I was saying wallahi first of all jazakillah had it I know mashallah you you and Sadaf had to have coordinated I don't know how you do this yeah I am telling you ask my family I do not get surprised like it doesn't happen so I'm sitting here as soon as Qari Amr came and he started describing I was like oh my god oh my god oh my god what do I do if I run out of here I'm gonna cause a scene I just I don't know what to say other than Alhamdulillah I feel like I have been my story with the Quran is is a I don't know where to begin but I feel like Allah really put me on a path where I had to prove my love for this for his book which I love his book but I had to really work for this moment mashallah when I first started learning the Quran I had a form of dyslexia with with Arabic I really struggled I really struggled I had mixed letters up all the time and I thought I'm never gonna read I thought I'm never gonna be able to read I actually ended up memorizing a good portion from the first juz without any ability to read and my teacher had no idea he thought I could read but I didn't know how to read I just was I have you know the oral like I could do it from listening and then Alhamdulillah Allah brought our beloved sheikh Muhammad Ali Qubi to the Bay Area and his wife Allah Yerhamah but he's a may Allah bless her she saw that some of the women were teaching but we didn't know tajweed and she couldn't believe it because mashallah those who've studied abroad know these are foundational sciences you learn them early you learn them as children you have her father and people you know children who complete their tajweed so she was shocked that she had all these women teaching but none of us took tajweed so may Allah bless her she asked her husband who you know he's a giant of a sheikh if he would be willing to teach a handful of us and he he said yes so um at that time in my life personally I was going through a lot I was in a previous marriage and um and that person he he did not let me go and study he prevented me from studying my dean he actually forbade me to go and study but Alhamdulillah this is the benefit of knowing your rights in Islam because I knew that if he forbade me from the book of Allah I don't have to obey him so I did not obey him I in fact did the opposite and I um I studied with sheikh muhammad for one month it took and so I share this because I want to give all of you hope it took one month for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to help me overcome my dyslexia to help me go from really struggling with basic breeding to fluency I was able to actually read and I credit the barakah of sheikh muhammad and the way that uh the the the syrians in particular I'll give credit where it's due the syrians and and the maraq is actually he's gonna know all of them everyone but the syrians have a system I think mashallah that just for me anyway it was just solid um but one month I was able to read with fluency and Alhamdulillah he did actually allow me to teach because we went through all of the rules but he said you have to do a completion of the khatam you have to to get the written ijazah and be part of the senate you have to do a completion of the khatam but you can teach so for years I taught without having this I've been dying to get this but you know children and life and you can't um to find someone to read consistently with this difficult because things move and people are busy so alhamdulillah may Allah bless qadi amir because I studied with him and when I came back to the bay area I asked him um you know if he could teach so I took some of his tajweed classes by the way if you have not taken tajweed please he teaches here Saturdays or he did before COVID those are probably one of some of the best classes I've ever taken qadi amir is a phenomenal teacher he's an amazing teacher he knows how to teach the quran beautifully very effective but he's also hilarious so it's like comedy hour eight o'clock in the morning um I'm not kidding I swear there were times where I had to leave because I was cracking up I was like this is I am we're studying quran but he's got these quips and like really witty come oh yeah like oh he's hilarious like if you make a mistake he just he just sounds really funny thanks for my qadi amir I'm supposed to be serious but I love those classes I love those so come to his classes if he's teaching um and then alhamdulillah COVID happened and I reached out first to Mashallah may Allah bless you because please I have to credit you I mean my um I was going to the teacher she's the one who put you know who made her time available to me as as busy as you are Khalid you made you made it so easy to to join you and in this love affair together we were we were just Mashallah going over verses and her recitation we all know it's so beautiful I just wanted to really listen to you and come any excuse to come and learn from you and listen to you but your love for the quran is so contagious so it just made me yearn for it but then subhanAllah COVID happened I think you you went to travel so when that happened and you were gone I needed to finish the project that I started so that's when qadi amir may Allah bless him I turned to him and said I just need to do a please can you read with me can you listen to me and he was so generous with his time allowed me every weekend um Saturday morning I read with him and then some days on Mondays and Thursdays he would read with me too I was very um just excited to finally get you know through through through a good portion of it and then my goal was finished before Ramadan but he we finished Alhamdulillah before Ramadan and I I'm thinking like I think it was Shabbat and I said okay can I get my ajezah can we finish and he's like what are you rushing for he was like no and he had Mashallah the intention of making of making me wait for this moment he wanted me to do my Khatim in the month of the Quran and I didn't even think of that because I was so impatient but I I have to credit him because he's he's just an amazing teacher an amazing human being able to increase him and bless him so Alhamdulillah thank you for being a part of this I have no idea I would have to I would be here sharing all of this with all of you but the fact that Allah brought us all together and that you were witness to this moment I will cherish this wallahi forever I was just saying Dr. Rania this is probably one of the most important or exciting nights of my life wallahi I don't say that with any exaggeration my children are here their births yes my wedding yes but this really like the the years that it took to get here Alhamdulillah so if I can do it anybody can do it so please inshallah take inspiration and they're beautiful teachers of Quran in our community take advantage inshallah and may Allah really connect our hearts to the Quran this is this is it for me the more I age I just and you can ask my my kids to how often do we have the Quran on the smile at the house the Quran is on always we're we're now Alhamdulillah gotten to the point where that we're just going to be a house of Quran and I wouldn't have it any other way I just I want to hear it all the time I want to listen to it I want to read it I want to read its meanings because you find the more you it's an ocean the more you you go you find all the jewels right of the Quran and it just your heart just flourishes and that's why when you see someone like Khalil recite you you hear the love in her voice that is from love that is genuine love so may Allah increase all of us in the love of the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wa lahi jazakum al khid I'm so sorry I feel like I've taken way too much of tonight's program my dear sisters I want you to all make an intention right now that Allah make you a person who one day will receive Ijazah and put it on to say Allahumma I mean this is Ramadan it's an odd night Allah is listening to dua there is no ask of Allah that's too big for him or anything that's too small for him so don't say oh it can't it can't be me it will be you inshallah ta'ala as we see here Alhamdulillah so please take this moment of inspiration to be inspired and empowered inshallah and one thing I have to say inshallah there's a lot of excitement here one thing I have to say inshallah from what we saw over and over and over again from all of our teachers when you hear their stories and it's very fun actually to ask the teachers what is your story how did you get to this point what happened you will be amazed how every single time there is usually a story of hardship there is usually some sort of struggles or difficulty in fact a lot of the I'm not about to go into too much research but I just want to say this quick point some of the research that we know about psychology is that when people say such and such got to such a great place and people will say despite their hardships you've heard this right people will say despite the difficult things look how much they accomplished whether it's an athlete or whether it's somebody high up in leadership or whether it's somebody in tech or so on and so forth actually it's not despite their hardships it's in spite of their hardships it's because of the hardships that you get to these points reframe it cognitive reframing of how you think about these things subhanallah allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that he teaches us that if we have hardships in the beginning of the path it's a sign of success so if you feel like you've been having hardships connecting with the quran reading the quran finishing your husband going to finding a teacher when the teacher starts the teacher ends the teacher started there's so many stories about how people have struggled with this right or you feel like your accent or the way you pronounce it or how it's or you just don't feel very connected or motivated there's so many reasons but all of these are potential hardships that will get you to where you need to go inshallah with a sincere intention because all you have to do is make that intention and suddenly Allah opens the doors allahi he opens the doors one time i said this till i'll just say this really quickly then we'll go to prayer inshallah one time i said this till it was a class of little kids and i said make your du'a and then Allah will open the doors can you imagine what the little kids said they were like like it'll just open it was very literal you know in their heads like very black and white very literal and i thought oh okay maybe i need to explain it differently to kids inshallah but for us as adults i hope you understand that as the hadith al qutsi which is a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says it's from the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that if you take this first step what does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala do he comes walking and if you walk what does he do he comes running and if you what happens right if you go quickly he comes an immense speed so it's really a matter of us taking that first step and that first sincere step and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from the people of the Quran in the month of the Quran and make us from people not only who can read the Quran but actually implement what it says we don't want to be people who can read a cover to cover but you know our actual um insides and our actions that pour out of it don't reflect the Quran we want to be people who know the Quran and do upon the Quran Allahumma Ameen thank you so much Astaghfirullah what a blessed night for the rahmah foundation or for all your sisters here alhamdulillah when our teacher is being honored in addition to also being a teacher inshaAllah what a blessed night this is alhamdulillah may Allah bless you all Ameen Ya Rabbi Al-Anameen all right my dear sisters


You're aware through this year's briefing that we've examined some of the circumstances surrounding the burn under of the District 18 spare tanker at the Parsons Road firing Swan Hill last year. I'm here today with Gavin Hall, the OIC of the Swan Hill District Mechanical Workshop and Gavin's going to take us through some of the parts of the truck that crews should check when they're offline filling up with water after they've been fighting a fire in long grass or heavy crop. Some of the things Gavin, that crews should check to make sure that they're not in a similar circumstance perhaps? Yeah, there's a number of areas we can look at. Predominantly starting at the front of the truck. When they get five minutes, they can actually come along and have a look and especially with a torch, they can actually get down underneath, have a look at the radiator and then along the chassis rails. That will give them a fair indication of if they've been filled up with stubble or crop head, which predominantly caused the under burn from last year's Parsons Road fire. OK, in the next area we can check while we are quickly having a look at our truck is just along the side and then beside the battery carrier and even open up the battery carrier to have a look down around any side, around here, see if there's any stubble or anything stuck there. And have a look, you can normally see down underneath as well if there's any stubble and stuff stuck under these chassis rails. Predominantly, if you get it, when you pick up the front of the radiator and stuff, because the truck's going forward, predominantly you'll find there's a lot of stubble in that. If there's stubble at the front, there's a clear indication it's probably in the middle as well. So you can actually still get underneath and have a look and go from there. So then we get down to back and we get a torch in along the back as well and we'll see you can have a look on top of your spare wheel and you'll see a lot more chassis rail and cross member stuff that you'll clearly see that it's full of stubble and stuff like that, which helped cause that fire. If they do find that their radiator is full of stubble and the DMAs aren't around blowing them out, this could be the first half an hour or whatever it may be, they can actually just get a hose and just gently squirt the radiator down and then clear the stubble off it.
