Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will discuss about the meaning of conditional probability of event A given event B as probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B and we shall interpret independence of events A and B as probability of event B. Probability of event A given event B is equal to probability of event A and probability of event B given event A is equal to probability of event B. Let us now discuss conditional probability. Conditional probability is the probability that event B occurs given that event A has already occurred. For example, in a class of 25 students, 14 like mango, 12 like orange, 6 like both fruits and 5 dislike both fruits. Here we have represented the situation in the form of this Venn diagram. Here, set A represents students who like mango and set B represents students who like orange, see 8 students like only mango, 6 like only orange and 6 like both mango and orange. So number of students who like mango will be equal to 8 plus 6 that is 14 and number of students who like orange will be equal to 6 plus 6 that is 12. Suppose a student is selected at random. We have to find the probability that the student selected likes mango given he also likes orange. Here we are given a condition for selecting the student that he already likes orange. Now we have to find the probability that he likes mango. It means according to the condition we must select the students from the students who like orange. So here total number of outcomes will be equal to number of students who like orange that is equal to the set B and the number of elements in set B is 12. Favorable outcomes will be equal to number of students who like both mango and orange and it is given by set A intersection set B and from this Venn diagram we can see that A intersection B is 6. So number of favorable outcomes will be 6. Let us now calculate the probability we define event A as student likes mango and event B as student likes orange and we have to find the probability that student likes mango given he likes orange. We can write it as probability of occurrence of event A given event B which is given by favorable outcomes upon total number of outcomes. We know that total number of outcomes is given by 12 and number of favorable outcomes is given at 6. Probability of occurrence of event A given event B is equal to favorable outcomes that is given by 6 upon total number of outcomes that is 12. So we have the probability as 1 upon 2 or it is also given by 0.5. Now see that probability of event A intersection B is given by favorable outcomes upon total number of outcomes. So here number of favorable outcomes to event A intersection B is given by 6. So here we have 6 upon total number of outcomes and we can see that here total number of outcomes is given by 6 plus 6 plus 8 plus 5 which is equal to 25. So here we have 25. So probability of event A intersection B is given by 6 upon 25. Similarly probability of event B is given by number of favorable outcomes upon total number of outcomes and here number of favorable outcomes to event B is given by 6 plus 6 that is 12 upon total number of outcomes that is given by 25. So we have probability of event B as 12 upon 25. Similarly probability of event A is given by number of favorable outcomes upon total number of outcomes and here number of favorable outcomes to event A will be equal to 6 plus 8 that is 14 upon total number of outcomes that is 25. So probability of event A is 14 upon 25. So probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B is equal to 6 upon 25 whole upon 12 upon 25 and this is equal to 6 upon 12 that is 1 upon 2 or we can write it as 0.5. So here we see that probability of occurrence of event A given event B is equal to 1 by 2 also probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B is equal to 1 by 2. Thus we can say formula for conditional probability is given by probability of occurrence of event A given event B is equal to probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B where probability of event B is greater than 0. Similarly probability of occurrence of event B given event A is equal to probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event A where probability of event A is greater than 0. From the above example we can also find probability of occurrence of event B given event A. So here probability of occurrence of event B given event A is equal to the probability that the student likes orange given that he likes mango and this would be equal to probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event A and we know that probability of event A intersection B is 6 upon 25 and probability of event A is 14 upon 25. So here we have 6 upon 25 whole upon 14 upon 25 and this is equal to 6 upon 14 that is 2 into 3 is 6 and 2 into 7 is 14. So we have 3 upon 7. So we say that probability of occurrence of event B given event A is given by 3 upon 7. Now we are going to discuss conditional probability and independent events. We know that A and B are independent events if the occurrence of each of them does not affect the probability that the other occurs. We have also seen in our earlier sessions that 2 events say A and B are independent then probability of event A intersection B is equal to probability of event A into probability of event B. Now let A and B be 2 independent events then probability of occurrence of event A given event B is equal to probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B. Since A and B are independent events then using the result of independent events we write probability of event A intersection B as probability of event A into probability of event B whole upon probability of event B and this is equal to probability of event A. Thus we get if A and B are independent events then conditional probability of event A given event B is equal to the probability of event A. Similarly probability of occurrence of event B given event A is equal to probability of event B. Here also we can say that if A and B are 2 independent events then conditional probability of event B given event A is equal to the probability of event B. Let us consider an example find whether event E that is drawing a club from a deco 52 cards and event F that is rolling a 4 on a single die are independent or not. We are given 2 events E and F and we need to find whether these 2 events are independent or not. Now event E is drawing a club from a deco 52 cards and we know that in the deco 52 cards there are 13 club cards.  Now if we consider conditional probability of event E given event F has already occurred then the result of rolling a die will not affect the probability of drawing a club. Therefore probability of occurrence of event E given event F is equal to probability of event E. Similarly if we consider conditional probability of event F given event E has already occurred the result of drawing a club will not affect the probability of rolling a die. Therefore probability of occurrence of event F given event E is equal to probability of event F. Thus we say that the 2 events are independent. Thus in this session we have discussed conditional probability and conditional probability with respect to independence of 2 events. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 Double Cab Short Box is stock number 12716Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 has the 6-liter V8 gas engine. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change. The fluids have been checked and topped off, and this truck is 100% ready to go. We're going to go all the way around on this truck, inside, underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood. Silver Ice Metallic is the color, and we shoot all of our videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities. On your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now, because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the truck before seeing it in person. And if you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Automotive in the upper right hand part of the screen is a link to subscribe to our YouTube channel. Consider clicking that, and then if you do, click the bell notifications, and you'll get updates every time we do videos here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the 20-inch polished aluminum rims. They're in really nice shape, and it does have Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires. These are LT26560R20s, and these tires have probably about, I'd say, 50-60% of the tread left on them. Front fender is in very nice condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. Does have the projector style headlamps. Front bumper is in fantastic condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on that. Looks really good. And the hood is in very nice shape as well. You do get the cab lights up top, and the passenger side front fender. No major dents or dings on there. Passenger side rim. No major scuffs or scrapes. And as you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck. Hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at. Before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. You can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you. Pretty nice down that side. Back rim is in excellent shape as well. No scuffs or scrapes, and the back tires have just a little bit less tread than the fronts, but still about 50% just a little bit under. Has the plastic wheel well liners, which keeps your frame and body looking pretty good. Looks like it has all the remainder of the factory exhaust, and the lower rockers look like they had step bars on them at one time. They have been removed. Coming around the back, backside looks pretty good. Coming around to the back here, the rear bumper. Pretty nice shape. Does have the rear bumper steps. Just one little kind of ding right there, but nothing too bad. Does have the full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four-pin, and seven-pin wiring. The tailgate is in very nice condition. Does have a locking tailgate and backup camera. And this one comes with an access soft roll-up tonneau cover. Didn't see any rips or tails on there. Comes with a spray-in bed liner. Looks in pretty nice shape. That goes on to the tailgate. Tailgate shuts nice and solidly. And as we come around to the driver's side, just as nice as that passenger side. Box looks really good. And for full disclosure, this back room is in excellent shape as well. Maybe one tiny little ding above the fuel door, which will take care of that. But the driver's side doors look really good. Didn't see any denser dings on there. It does have the power mirrors with the built-in blind spot mirror. Chrome trim on the back of the mirrors inside the work truck package gives you the gray cloth interior. There are no rips or tears on these seats. They're in pretty nice shape. Does have factory all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps, and factory brake controller. Power windows, power locks, and power mirrors. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, radio, and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. This one has 30,301 miles, instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Comes with cruise controls on the steering wheel. That's a nice shape. And it does have the six-speed automatic transmission. This one comes with the Chevy MyLink radio. You get AM, FM, and it is a touch screen, AM, FM, and Bluetooth capabilities on here. You also have a projection manager where you can project your cell phone to the screen. So if you have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, you can project it right to the screen. And if you have a nav system on your phone, project that to the screen as well, such as Waze or Google Maps, and then it's like you have nav right on the screen. So that's pretty cool. You do get a time and temperature display there. Including heated mirror controls, stability control, and that's for your cargo lamps. 4x4 shifter on the floor, passenger side, floor mat, and seat are in excellent condition. I didn't see any rips or tears on there. And the headliner is in excellent condition as well. Up here you do get map lights. And this is indicating that you have the snow plow prep package on this truck. This phone has on-star and SOS capabilities in the mirror. We'll take a quick look at the back seats, and then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Back seats are in very nice condition as well. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have, and the fixed glass rear window. These seats fold up like so, and the carpeting and formats are in pretty nice shape as well. Side curtain airbags on this truck, and the bottoms of the doors all look pretty good on here. We'll start it up, take a look under the hood, starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video you'll have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck all the way around inside and out. Under the hood we have the 6 liter V8 gas engine, engine base very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker, those projector lamp headlamps.

Hi, my name is Larry Thompson. I'm the communications director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institutes of Health. And with me is Dr. Eric Green, the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. And we're here to talk today about a strategic plan that will be published in February 2011 that describes essentially the future of the field of genomics. Welcome, Dr. Green. Thank you for joining us for this conversation today. Absolutely. So, Dr. Green, for whom did the National Human Genome Research Institute write this plan? Who's the audience for this? So our strategic plan probably has multiple audiences. I mean, for starters, the genomics community. This is a community of scientists I think that for many years have followed a series of strategic plans as sort of a vision, if you will, about what's the most compelling opportunities in genetics and genomics for the next set of years. But I think there are other audiences as well. I think there's audiences include students. Students both in basic sciences, but also clinical sciences and individuals who are thinking about the future of clinical medicine. But also students in law, students in ethics, students in sociology, public policy. Genomics is perfusing many areas of society as well as science. And the next generation of scholars need to be much more aware of what's happening in this field. I also think the audience includes those of us at the institute. We need to think about what the most compelling opportunities in genomics are and how we want to tailor our programs to maximize the benefits and the opportunities. And so having that document prepared by us has really created an opportunity for us to think critically about what we should be doing as an institute. So tell me shortly, briefly, what the central vision is you think that's described in this plan? This one that we are publishing and will be the 2011 vision for genomics research by NHGRI is much more clinically oriented, thinking much more about clinical application of genomics. And I think in many ways more expansive than the earlier visions were, but at the same time starts to get us closer to the kinds of promises that were made originally when the Human Genome Project was first envisioned. So this plan, it sort of lays out a series of steps that are areas of fields of research that you think need to be traversed to be able to get to that promise of having an impact on human health. How would you describe what the vision is and how those steps that have to be walked through? We describe these five domains, some of which have been very active for the past decade, but others are more far-reaching, but nonetheless we want to think about research agendas that would really inform us and make us more sophisticated in those domains. It starts at the most proximal end of that progression of simply understanding the structure of genomes. Sounds like what we did in the Human Genome Project and certainly included activities that have been going on since the Genome Project. But then it's about understanding how the human genome works and advancing our knowledge of genome function. That was very important and certainly was a major emphasis of our strategic vision starting right when the Genome Project was completed. The third domain starts to apply that knowledge of genomics to advance our understanding of human disease. And here is a progression that in many ways the field of genomics is most aggressively pursuing, really using the tools and technologies of genomics to better understand the molecular basis of disease. And the fourth domain then moves you from having that knowledge of disease to actually changing medical science by advancing how you approach medical science. And there you start to see clinical applications, but you can't stop there. And this was one of the key things we heard from our colleagues in the genomics community and members of the biomedical research community who have had experience in taking discoveries all the way to the bedside. That there's an even fifth domain that one needs to contemplate and that's actually demonstrating effectiveness of these advances to the actual delivery of healthcare. And just because you have a medical advance doesn't mean that it's actually going to prove to be effective when actually executed in a healthcare delivery setting. And you need to actually have a research agenda that studies that last area if you're ultimately going to have an impact on clinical care. How are you going to implement something across this vast scale of work that has to be done? I mean it's not something that the Genome Institute can fund all by itself. It's not something that the NIH or even the United States alone will pursue. This is a global effort. And it's really important just to recognize that many of these things we're talking about won't be just confined to the genomics community. Genomics is perfusing all areas of biomedicine. This is I think fantastic. And most importantly many of the things that we talk about in our strategic vision will be carried out by other fields of study. In some cases in partnership with us. In some cases they don't even need to be in partnership with us. The way you execute it is we'll figure out what we can do best as an institute. We'll work with our colleagues here at NIH and other institutes to think what we can do in partnership. And then there's some things that we expect other agencies, other organizations, other countries to jump in and help as well. But there is a definite sense through this plan that there's a much greater focus on clinical application having an impact on advancing human health than may have previously been made. No question. There's no question. This is a transitional point for genomics in many ways. I firmly believe that we had to wait for the right time to really believe we knew enough. And that we had the tools and technologies in hand to start to make that transition. And much of this is being catalyzed by technological advances especially in DNA sequencing methods that have seen a complete change in the cost models for sequencing genomes such that the cost of genome sequencing has just been plummeting for the past four years. And as a result of that what seemed way out there decades away now all of a sudden seems to be in reach. And as a result it just creates new opportunities and puts us into a new landscape that was previously unimaginable and quickly puts us into an arena where clinical applications become very realistic. Is there a sense of urgency among the leadership within the field of trying to figure out how to take the very powerful insights that are coming out of genomics and have them have an impact in the clinic? I think the sense of urgency is as much a realization of this could truly change the practice of some aspects of medicine. And you can point to very specific examples and I think the ones you're going to see most clear in the next two or three years because we're already seeing it as in cancer for example. Cancer is a genomic disease and the fact that we can now use these powerful new sequencing technologies and comprehensively catalog genetic changes that take place in a tumor and have that information point to the best path forward for treating a given individual is very compelling. And while there's only a handful of examples where that's the case so far we have in place we think programs are going to reveal many opportunities for making that progression in different types of cancer in the next five years and that makes one feel very urgent because you feel like this truly could make a difference. And genomics has been very much driven by technology. How big a role will technology play in achieving that vision that's laid out in the plan? It will continue to play a very, very large role. I mean I think it's part of the essence of genomics, technological advances. And so far in the past five years for example the real push in technology was in the area of DNA sequencing so we could sequence genomes very cost effectively. Now that just creates new bottlenecks that have to be dealt with and we need new technological approaches for solving those. For example when you can sequence genomes for very inexpensively it results in a massive accumulation of data so much so that it actually overwhelms investigators and would overwhelm clinicians. So we need technological advances to deal with all that data make that information interpretable and reduce it to practice in a clinical setting that all requires major technological advances. So given that complexity the visionaries of this field have talked about the advent of personalized medicine at some point where one size doesn't fit all but these are a lot of complex things to still sort of sort out. How long will it take till personalized medicine really becomes a reality something that we'll see in a doctor's office? It depends on what you mean by personalized medicine. It's not going to happen all at once. I would contend it's already starting to happen and I think you will see an increasingly growing list of genetic tests that are relevant as part of standard of care. I think you will see sort of diagnostic tests being developed and implemented for disorders such as cancer before you'll see it for lots of other disorders. Already we're seeing individuals going out and getting their genomes analyzed not through their doctor's office but through companies directly. I think you'll see a progression where at some point that might end up being done more in doctor's office but there's a lot of steps before we can get to see that routinely. I don't think there's going to be a year, a moment that all of this will happen but I think what we want to do at NHGRI is facilitate the establishment of a research agenda that would help us answer many questions that need to be answered effectively before we could really think about implementing this on a large scale but we think we have a much better idea of what some of those questions are and now we want to build a research program to help answer those questions. And so sort of as a last question, are you satisfied with the way things are progressing and what's been learned so far? I'm absolutely satisfied. I think there's been spectacular advances in the field. I think what we try to describe in the strategic plan is not only a capturing of what we've done so far but to show how the confluence of all these things that have happened the far-reaching set of things that now can be approached really for the first time and the compelling reasons why we want to go there because of the applications this could have for medical care.


Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee also known as Osiris. In today's episode, we are finally kicking off in the official ruleset series 10 on the VGC ranked ladder. We're back on the switch finally. We've been doing a lot of content on showdown. Thank you so much to everyone's support over the last few weeks when we've been doing that, but we are finally back on the switch on our home console and we are ready to go. And today we're going to be featuring any Veltal team that I really do like. I think it's very good in the format at the minute. Obviously you've got to watch out for things like Zornius that are picking up and doing very well in the format. Obviously the big kind of threat for your Veltal, but other than that your Veltal has a decent ish matchup in this in this meta game. It does well against things like Rillaboom, like Urshfu forms can do work against a majority of things. And obviously with that flying type attack that it does have an oblivion wing helps it get back HP. And obviously the Dark Aura boosted Dark type attacks really does some work, especially against things like Shadow Rider Calyrex. The rest of the team, we've got a Trick Room mod in there with the Stack Attacker and a Moongus pairs up really nicely with the Veltal and kind of counter plays things like Zornius pretty well. We've got the Landerous Therian with Intimidate, Double Intimidate with the Incineroar. So got to be careful around things like competitive Milotic that have been popping up in usage recently, but with Double Grass and the team should be able to manage that all right. The Scarf does allow us a little bit of room against things like Nile Liga in particular, just to allow us to hit it for good damage more than anything. And obviously against Reggie Alecki as well, which otherwise could cause us a few issues. But again, we do have a Moongus and with the Rocky Helmet it is pretty nice as an option to switch in on things like Urshfu if we are in a tight spot to take those multi target attacks. So as always, we'll have a few games with the team now. There is a poker paste down in the description below and we'll throw the rental code up at the end of the episode. If you did miss it already, I have put a video up on the channel with a bunch of rental codes that help anyone coming into Series 10 kind of get started and test out some kind of common archetypes that are being used at the minute. So do check that out. And before I forget, we are running another Series 10 weekly tournament this Friday, which will be the 6th of August and it will be running from 8pm UTC plus one until 11pm on Friday evening. So if you want to get involved in that, we'll be posting the results from last week. Very soon we had over 200 participants in last week's one, which is our biggest one yet, which is pretty phenomenal. We also have a form as well to fill in. So it helps us just capture the team information so we can post the graphics and have that running kind of trend of results as we go through each week. So if you want to get involved with this, all the information will be down in the description with the code as it is on the screen here. Fortunately, this week I am actually visiting friends, so I won't be around to play, which is a little bit unfortunate, but I will be playing the following week. So if you do take part, have a great time and this, all this information will be on our community section of the channel as well. Hopefully you enjoyed today's episode. As always, but without further ado, we'll jump straight into the ladder and get into our first game. Okay, first up today we have a Volcarona, Rillaboom, Umbrian, Zashin, Regi Alecki and Tapu Finney. So things not looking so great for a Valtul straight away. You've got the Regi Alecki, which threatens us pretty hard. You've got the Tapu Finney that threatens us with things like Moon Blast. And then you've got the Zashin, which does outspeed us of course. And we don't really have a way to deal with it super effectively. We do have ways to kind of mitigate the Zashin and the Regi Alecki. I think things like Lander is going to be a big kind of player here for us, of course. But it's whether or not we want to lead Lander as first, if we want to kind of bring Lander as in as a secondary kind of tool, because you've obviously got to worry about the Umbrian as well with that potential yarn that could be a little bit awkward to deal with. I think he Valtul does really well in this match against like the Rillaboom, the Volcarona. To a certain extent the Umbrian, but we've got to be careful that we're boosting the Umbrians kind of foul play as well with our Dark Aura. So we've got to be mindful of that whenever it's out on the field. I do want to bring you Valtul. I think Incineroar, I think we bring Landerous. And do we bring our own Rillaboom or do we bring Amungus here? Because Amungus could be good, but I think really like Rillaboom is probably the better option just because we can change the Missy terrain. And we can also threaten the Tapofini a bit more immediately than what Amungus can. Like Amungus is like great at disruption, whether it's redirection, it's spores, but we're not really going to be able to utilize the spore if the Missy terrain is on the field, if you get my drift. So I think Rillaboom for that immediate kind of pressure that it can put on is probably a little bit better suited in all honesty. So we are going to see the Volcarona and the Zashin come out from my opponent. Now we've got a pretty nice switch here from Valtul into Landerous if we want, and then we've got Scarfed Landerous that we could put pressure on the next turn and go for maybe a rock slide, get around the redirection, and get a double Intimidate onto the Zashin, which is always good. Now what do I want to stop, do I? I think the thing is as well what we could potentially do is just fake out the Zashin and go for an Oblivion wing, like that can totally work as well.  I mean if it's Rillaboom that's great, but it is going to be the Umbrian, and any damage onto Umbrian is always useful you know. So we get the fake out into the Protect which makes a lot of sense and we get an Oblivion wing off, so pretty straightforward play in my opponent doing nice work to get the Umbrian onto the field because that will start to cause us issues with Yorn and things like that which aren't ideal to say the least. So I think what we'll do, we'll go for Fleblitz into the Zashin, and I'm going to bring in Landerous here to get that double Intimidate before they're able to set up maybe a Substitute which they could potentially go for here, they could go for a Sacred Sword as well, got to remember that our Incineroar hasn't been Intimidated, so our Fleblitz is going to be doing a heck of a lot of damage, and also by getting the Yveltal off the field it does kind of help us out a little bit with kind of downpowering the foul play that could potentially come out from this Umbrian as well this turn. Although we got Incineroar out so we're not really too threatened by it, the Misty Terrain coming out onto the field though, I can see a Yorn coming into our Landerous slot potentially, maybe a Snarl, would have been better going for really, Snarl coming out Incineroar does avoid, that's kind of alright. We've got the U-turn we can go for into the Umbrian in the next turn, Fleblitz not ideal, but we got the parting shot into that space the next turn, okay left of us, and the U-turn will do a good chunk of damage to the Umbrian, it is super effective so at least we've got that there, I think parting shot. And then go for U-turn as well, we are pulling a double switch so we've got to be a little bit careful with where the Yveltal kind of comes onto the field, I don't think we want it, like wow is Moonblast going to come out into the Landerous slot, I don't know, I don't know honestly, I think we'll bring Rillaboom onto the field now, I know we're going to get rid of the Misty Terrain, but at the same time with Misty Terrain being on the field, are they likely to go for a Yorn, I mean if they're likely to go for a Yorn into anything it's going to be into the Rillaboom slot, which was the Yveltal which kind of wasn't touching the Terrain so it is more effective, but Muddy Water coming out, Incineroar actually avoiding, so Ninja-like skills there helping us out a bit, as Rillaboom just kind of sucks that up pretty well, and File Play coming out as well, into Rillaboom, not ideal, not ideal, but at least we can pressure the Finny this next turn you know, and I think we just bring Landerous back onto the field, because between Landerous and Rillaboom we can get rid of the Umbrian here, and I think the top of Finny is pretty pressured to either protect or switch out this next turn, whereas we could potentially just bake out U-turn onto the Umbrian, the problem is like do we see the Volcarona come back onto the field, because that is an option, the Volcarona could come in on the top of Finny slot, and I'd be kind of more tempted to, no, I think what we'll do is we'll U-turn and Grassy Glide into there, I'm kind of tempted to Rock Slide as well, because I just feel like the Volcarona just comes onto the field now, okay well we're not going to see that, hopefully this combination is enough, Grassy Glide going to do a nice chunk of damage is not going to be enough, and File Play going to be able to take down the Rillaboom, which puts us in a very awkward spot I will say, we can't bring the Veltol onto the field, no chance, because that will boost the File Play and that will take us down, and we're going to, yeah we really kind of let it slip here with this File Play, and take down that, oh the Moonlight, okay, I think they had an opportunity there to get Rillabrillaboom, for sure, okay, well, we'll take that, take that all day, all day long, Tabak Finney's got to switch out this next turn, got to switch out this next turn, problem is with the Umbrian, it's putting on so much pressure with this File Play every turn, now do we take the opportunity to just go fake out Grassy Glide into it, and then we can Grassy Glide again the next turn, and we're going to knock off onto it, and then Grassy Glide, I think we just Grassy Glide, Grassy Glide, just get these glides off, and the Finney switching out, Volcarona coming in, coming in, yeah, oh it's in a focus, it's in a focus, I keep forgetting this about Umbrian, oh my god, what am I doing, we would have been better off just Flair Blitz in that slot, it's not in a focus, so we didn't get caught out, okay, now, all right, that is interesting to say the least, but we are in a little awkward spot where my opponent is putting on pressure with the Quiverdance here, I'm confident that a Flair Blitz will pick up the Umbrian, right, and I think we bring any Valtor, Quiverdance could be pretty tricky for us to deal with as well, if it is that variant, we could see Rage Powder, but we need to keep Brella Boom, like for later on in this match, we cannot allow it to go down, especially with the Finney in the back, okay, Umbrian coming out, and Zashing coming in, if we get a Flair Blitz here, that's huge, but we may see a Rage Powder, we may do, I don't know, Heat Wave, wow, okay, well, we're going to get a Flair Blitz off into this Zashing, which is massive for us, massive Cajunis, yeah, and that pretty much decommissions the Zashing in all honesty, because now we can switch into an Upt to Landerous, and we can oblivion wing into the Vocal Rona, and get that Intimidate, which is the big important thing for us here, and with them having Tapu Finney in the back, if they change the terrain, at least that Earthquake is like powered up then, and then between Evertal and Landerous, we might be able to just close this one out, especially if we can get rid of the Vocal Rona now, you know, that's gone first again, so there's Max Speed, close combat coming out, let me take it, oh with one HP, are you mad, I can't believe we just took that, can't believe it, that's so huge for us, that is so huge, the imaginary sash, the problem is now, and what we know, we just sucker punched the, we sucker punched the the Vocal Rona and the Earthquake, because is the grassy terrain ending now, no, got another round of healing, no it does disappear, so we got the Earthquake full power now, so yeah we just Sucker Punch, even if we get burnt it doesn't matter too much, we just Earthquake and Sucker Punch, and the Sucker Punch will take down the Vocal Rona, checks the Scarfed Heatwave, so it means that Landerous will be able to get this Earthquake off, even though the Flame Body does activate, of course it activates, the amount of times I've played Vocal Rona, I'm not complaining, I am a little bit complaining, but you know, amount of times I've played Vocal Rona and it hits with a full contact movement, it never activates, but the one time we hit it, the first time on the switch, it happens, it happens, it's gonna happen, but it's good, you see what the ability can do here, so, still got to think about that Umbrian, which is obnoxious to do with in every kind of setting, and we do have a free Earthquake here, so we could potentially um, while Oblivion Wing in Earthquake will be enough to get the, to get the Umbrian, 100%, so we can remove that and then Reliboo just wins this first, so it's pretty straightforward from from here on out, Oblivion Wing, Earthquake will be enough, even an Earthquake might be enough to get the the Umbrian, potentially I don't know though, I would be very hesitant to to put money on that, yeah, Umbrian just too strong, too strong, Crit on the Finnywitch will make that a lot easier, but it's not the one that we're really worried about, um, and we'll probably see Muddy Water, I'd imagine here from the Tap of Finny, which will take down landers, give us the room to get Reliboo in, and that will close the game up for us, so, it's a tight game, and I think it's like, you know, okay Moonblast, well we're gonna get the, we're gonna get the uh, the old Earthquake off again, which should be enough with, with the Oblivion Wing, um, and that will lock, lock it up for us, so, a nice way for us to kick off today, pretty tight game, uh, I think there was definitely opportunities where we could have lost that, I think the turn where the Umbrian had the opportunity to not moon, moonlight which, it made it trickier at the time, but I think if you remove the Reliboo there and then, well, it came down to it, we didn't necessarily need it, I think it would have made it hard. Okay, next up we have Brando and they are playing a team of Kanto Raichu, a Galarian Maltres, Konfi, Urshifu, Kyoga, and Tornades, so we've got a Tono, you've got a Tornoga team, uh, a little bit different from your kind of standard team, you've got options in here with the Konfi which supports, uh, the Galarian Maltres super well with things like the draining case to activate, um, the weakness policy and obviously floral healing which really supports the entire, entire team, uh, and trick room as well as an additional speed control mode along with the tailwind that we're going to see on the Tornades which is so commonly played with the Kyoga, and then potentially, and I would put money on it, Nuzzle on Raichu which can be the other option, uh, which makes it a little bit difficult to kind of function around, so Valtul here is like a bit of a double-edged sword, like it can do a lot of work against this team, um, but the problem is, uh, at the same time we're kind of boosting the dark type attacks on that Galarian Maltres which makes it a little bit more tricky, of course. Umunga's going to be good here, got to watch out for the Tornades, primarily over everything else, and, and also the, the Maltres which can cause us a few issues. Um, okay, let's go Iveltal. Let's go Iveltal, and do we want Incineroar or Rillaboom? I think we'll go, now we'll go Incineroar, Rillaboom, and then we'll go Umunga's in the back and lock in, bringing two grass types against two flying types, but we'll be all right, I think. I think the Assault Vest gives Iveltal a little bit of an edge, but against Kyoga sometimes, but you know, I think when you pair it up with, with the double grass, it obviously helps out a bunch, but um, we're leaving ourselves a little bit short with answers for the Maltres, and you kind of look at this team and think, wow, do we go with Stack Attacker, but it's hard to bring the Stack Attacker against like the Kyoga, especially when um, they've got faster fake out and Raichu, so they leave Kyoga Raichu, they haven't in this scenario, but then that would be a bad situation for us, because you couldn't redirect away, um, fake out all the double target attack, you know, but in this scenario, we do have an option where we can fake out the tornadoes, at least stop the tailwind for one turn and potentially go for a snarl here, or we can fake out the Kyoga, which is more than like, more likely to protect here, I think. Um, do we just snarl? I think we snarl and fake out. Do we fake out the Oga? Yeah, fake out the Oga, because like, really, yeah, it does protect, but we're kind of covering bases here and protecting Incinero, rather than just allowing it, if we get caught out and it doesn't protect, um, they're going to get the tailwind up at a turn sooner than what we would have done anyway, so it kind of works out for us a little bit. We get the snarl off to tornadoes, and we do weaken that tornadoes, which is, which is really, really helpful, like, um, it's just where, where do we see the hurricane come in, especially with what we've got in the back. It's not, not super ideal. I think we can snarl again, and is it better to get rid of Moongus, or like a Moongus coming in, we'll be able to take attacks better than Rillaboom, because we're, we're bulkier on the special defensive side. Um, let's see, let's see, let's see. I'm going to see what it's about for sure. I see wind and what it's about. Okay. I see wind not doing too much. Water's about full power. We could have went for a sucker punch here as well. That was the other option, but I think the snarl's going to benefit us a little bit more in the long run. Okay. Well, we take that pretty well, pretty well, and there comes the snarl. So the tornadoes in range now of a sucker punch. Um, same. The thing is I'm not really too worried about the Kyoga. I'm not massively worried about the Kyoga. If I'm completely honest, we could spoil the Kyoga here and just go for a sucker punch. Problem is if we see a taunt here, but we don't, we see the, they're going for the hurricane. Now if they taunted there, that would have been really bad because we just, we just got wiped out by a water spot, which we'll take Yveltal down here. I'm pretty sure. Oh, we actually survive it, which is amazing. Okay. So Yveltal going to be able to survive for another turn, at least we get that spore off into the Kyoga. Now what comes in, is it going to be Moltres? Because if Moltres is on this team, you've got to imagine it does have, oh, it's Comfy. Huh. Okay. That's, that's super, super, super, super fine. That's super fine because now we get the switch into the Rillaboom. They're going to go drain and kiss. Um, do we use this momentum to kind of just get some regenerate health back, or do we just actually put the Comfy to sleep? I think we put the Comfy to sleep and then Rillaboom can make easy work of that Kyoga the following turn and whatever comes in going to take a big grassy terrain, boosted grassy glide anyway. And like Amungus here is not really in any danger of getting knocked out, draining case coming out, does some decentish damage. Kyoga definitely taking that turn of sleep. So the guaranteed turn and we get the spore off into the Comfy. So, uh, the next turn I think is where we definitely go for grassy glide into Kyoga and we get, uh, do we bring a Veltal back on the field or do we bring Incineroar? I just want to get the regenerator activated on the Amungus. It's probably safer to bring Incineroar in. Um, we'll go grassy glide, not the Veltal. And we'll bring Incineroar in because then we've got an active fake out and we're not really pressured at this point in time by the Kyoga, like not one little bit because the grassy glide should take Kyoga down with the miracle seed that we've got. Um, and then the Comfy has to have a guaranteed turn of sleep. So that's why we could have potentially brought the Veltal in. But again, it doesn't put us in a great position the next turn because if the Comfy has a one-term wake up, where's the Veltal then? It just goes down to a draining case where it could potentially come in at the end of the game. Like a goal now is to try and get rid of that Comfy because once the Comfy's gone, the Veltal comes in and has a little bit more freedom where it's not threatened so much by that, that priority draining case that we can't get around with, you know, fake it out and things like that. Maltres. Okay. Well, not ideal, not ideal, not ideal, but we can grassy glide into the Comfy and we can fake out, fake out the Maltres. And Incineroar is not bad in this situation because we do have Snarl that we can weaken the Maltres with and we've got to hope that two grassy glides is going to be enough to get the Comfy, right? Got to hope, got to hope. Yeah, it's going to be more than enough. Okay, critical hit. We get very fortunate there, very fortunate. But the rain has stopped so one of the options we do have now is just going Flair Blitz into the Comfy protecting Rillaboom because really what we want to try and do is get Evertal onto the field. So we can oblivion wing the Maltres. Yeah, let's go protect. Let's go Flair Blitz into Comfy. Because I think you chase down the Rillaboom if you own Maltres here, like 100% Comfy stays asleep. So that helps us out a bunch. Very wrath. Okay. Well, yeah, I was scared that we're going to get the flinch there, which is not ideal. Not ideal. Now it gives Comfy the option to kind of wake up and get that recovery with the leftovers, which isn't great. We got to go for the grassy glide and just double up here. I mean, the thing is like Rillaboom is not good against Maltres anyway. Comfy does get the draining case, but the double up will be enough. Okay, there we go. There's the old weakness policy. Not ideal, which is going to make it tricky. Going to make it tricky. Of course, grassy glide isn't going to be enough. Nope. I'm going to have to rely on. Okay. As long as you don't flinch here, then we're all right. As long as we don't flinch. No flinch. That's good. And we'll get rid of this Comfy. Yeah. Okay. Well, now we probably want to switch. I think we switch Rillaboom out to a Moongus. Saka Moongus at this point. At least the one thing that Rillaboom's got kind of going for it is that it has got fake out, which could allow then Evelto to come in and just the room to get that oblivion wing off, to get that health back and just get damage onto the board, you know. So what we'll do, switch Rilla out into Moongus and then we'll go fake out. No, no, no, no, no. Snarl. Snarl. What am I talking about? What am I talking about going for fake out in Snarl? With being out on the field for about 10 turns, there's no way we're getting fake out. Imagine that. Every 10 turns fake out regenerates. That could be some, that could be some funsies there. Moongus taking that pretty well. And we can kind of punish as well if they're unable to take down the Moongus the next turn. We could go for a spoil. So kind of forces them to ensure that they do take it out. Get that berserk activated. So putting it back to plus two. We'll go for the spoil. We'll just go for another snarl. We could potting shot here as well, but Moongus not taking that super well. Well, you know, Rilla Boom going to be able to come in now. I think Rilla Boom comes onto the field now.  If they don't have protect, of course, they could protect at this stage. They could protect. And then if not, that is game.  And that should be enough. But I wouldn't be surprised if we do see protect here. No protect. Fake out.  I think you have to go for it.  It's so imperative to kind of use that. But very good game to brand a really nice team, really nice take on them. The tonal guy, a little bit different from what you see. And you do love to see it. So we'll jump across now and remind you all of the rental code for today's team. Okay, friends, here is today's rental code. I hope you've enjoyed today's episode showing a little bit of Yveltal and the rest of the team. If you do try it out, please let me know down in the comment section how you get on with the team and what your thoughts are on Yveltal or what your kind of build is on Yveltal. If you've already been playing around with it, very interested to see how these kind of Yveltal teams are shaping up in this format. I think there are definitely a lot of different possibilities with what you could use pairing up with Yveltal. You're going to need a steel type, but there are many steel types in this format. And some of them that haven't really been looked at too much yet, you know, there are things like Reggie, Reggie Steel, for instance, that's done so well in Players Cup 4. Could that have a resurgence in Series 10? It could do. There's also options like Metagross as well that can perform pretty well in the format, although things like Shadow Rider Calyrex do make it a little bit more tricky. But when you pair it up with Yveltal, the synergy there is quite nice between the two, of course. So there are options. Let me know, like I said down in the comment section below. If you do try the team out, they'll have a lot of fun with it and we'll wrap things up there and we'll be back very soon with another episode on the channel, probably playing, I don't know yet. We'll keep it a surprise for next episode. So if you've got any suggestions, do drop them down below and let me know. We've had a lot so far, but I'm going to leave it there, friends. Have a great rest of the day, whatever you're up to, and I'll catch you all for another episode very soon. So until then, take care and bye-bye.


Item number SCP-3799 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures No access to Crozier Island is permitted for either staff or civilians. The Foundation currently enforces a no-fly zone around Crozier Island, and several Foundation craft patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorized personnel, be they civilian or staff, attempting to enter are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowledge or interest in SCP-3799. Description SCP-3799 is a perfect spear composed entirely of snow, and with a circumference of exactly six meters. SCP-3799 is suspended without visible means of support, at a height of 500 meters above Crozier Island, Greenland. Crozier Island is the location of Site-799, a site devoted to experimental research. Contained within SCP-3799 is SCP-3799-1, the corpse of an adult male human wearing what appears to be an unknown variant of a Foundation uniform. SCP-3799-1's right arm protrudes out of SCP-3799, and was formerly holding a number of documents which have since been recovered. The cause of death of SCP-3799-1 is believed to have been from blood loss, apparently the result of self-inflicted wounds to the wrists. Scans of SCP-3799 show that it possesses an abnormally low hume field. Attempts to penetrate or harm SCP-3799 or SCP-3799-1 have all resulted in failure. SCP-3799 first appeared on December 24, 1987, during an experiment in Site-799, forming part of Project ██. The following documents are those recovered from SCP-3799-1. They are apparently five iterations of the file for SCP-3799, although no such iterations have ever been found in the Foundation's database. Because of the sensitive information contained in these documents, their contents are restricted to the O5 Council and specifically authorized personnel only. The information contained within these documents has caused Project Midwinter to be immediately discontinued, and the present containment measures to be implemented. Document ██, SCP-3799, Object Class Euclid, Special Containment Procedures No access to Crozier Island is permitted for either staff or civilians, with the exception of the research team at Site-799. Several Foundation craft are to patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorized personnel, be they civilian or staff attempting to enter Crozier Island are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowledge or interest in SCP-3799. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. Food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Members of the research team are only to be allowed to remain on site for two months in any one stretch, and must take a holiday of at least one month in an area with low precipitation, before being allowed to return to active duty. Any personnel exhibiting Cognito-Hattertus symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined and removed from Site-799 immediately. Description SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting Crozier Island, Greenland. The island in an area stretching 0.5 km away from it are perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level, but which displace significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant Cognito-Hattertus effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The Cognito-Hattert causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, and in some subjects appears to have intensified. Research into a cure is ongoing. SCP-3799 first appeared on 24 December 1987, during an experiment in Site-799, forming part of Project ██████████████. Fourteen people were affected by SCP-3799-1 before a workable containment procedure for implemented. Currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research on the SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in Cognito-Hattertus anomalies. Addendum 3799-1 On February 8, 1991, researchers at Site-799 reported that three personnel had gone missing since the events of December 24, 1987. It should be noted that the area of SCP-3799's effect has increased by three meters since that time. Document 3799-2 Item number SCP-3799 Standard Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Site-799 is to be evacuated as soon as possible, as there is no known way to prevent SCP-3799 and SCP-3799-1 as apparently impermeable. Effective containment is presently impossible. Foundation vessels are to patrol around SCP-3799's area of effect at a distance of three kilometers. One personnel involved in the evacuation of Site-799, though personnel are to be allowed access to SCP-3799's area of effect. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. They are not to leave under any circumstances prior to the evacuation. Food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Any personnel exhibiting Cognito-Hattertus symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined immediately. Several samples of SCP-3799-1 have been taken to Site-3150. Personnel are not to make direct skin contact with SCP-3799-1. All personnel must wear standard-issued hazmat suits if they wish to perform experiments involving SCP-3799-1. Description SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting an area of approximately six kilometers squared, centered around Crozier Island, Greenland. This area is perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level but which displays significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant Cognito-Hattertus effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The Cognito-Hattert causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. This leads to an eventual belief that activating SCP-3799-1's corrosive properties, see below, will result in a form of transcendence, or a destruction of lower functions. The meaning of these statements is rather ambiguous and vague, with affected subjects unwilling to discuss them further. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, but rather intensifies in all subjects' overextended period. Research into a cure is ongoing, but it has been found that inflicting extreme pain and or blood loss does have a delaying effect on the intensification of the Cognito-Hattert. SCP-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property that comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCP-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCP-3799-1's effects will feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCP-3799-1 within 48 hours of first developing symptoms, in order to expire through hypothermia and thus activate its effects. SCP-3799 first appeared on December 24, 1928, prompting the conversion of the long-abandoned Site-799 into a dedicated site for researching SCP-3799. SCP-3799's area of effect initially increased at a rate of 1 meter squared for every individual who expired due to contact with SCP-3799-1, but since 1952 it has been increasing at a rate of 1 kilometer per expiration. Due to discrepancies in the documentation pertaining to Site-799, it is believed that, currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research on the SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in Cognito-Hattert's anomalies. Addendum 3799-1, as of September 23, 2017, SCP-3799's area of effect appears to be increasing without a need for further human matter. The anomaly has been reclassified as catered. Document 3799-3 Item Number Snow Object Class Peer and Free Special Containment Procedures In the spring there is dew and water and little biting crawlers oozing from the small places to feed and bite and eat. In the summer there is sweat and roots and grass and seething things, the sun burning and melting the living down below, matter drying and dying. In the autumn there is death and rot, the leaves and trees and plants decaying. The trees collapse and the fruits bursting, pustules bleeding their sustenance into the banged starving hordes below. In the winter there is only purity, the world is frozen, it's forms filled and made whole. Snow must not contain the others, it must change, it must alter, it must make pure. Description You cannot see the snow, can you? Not really. You just see it as a bunch of frozen ice crystals, crystal and structures made through a combination of molecules on molecules, which settle on the tops of houses and on the tops of trees. But those of us here at Site-799 know better. Site-799 knows that the snow is something more. The snow is pure, the snow is perfect. Look at that blizzard up at the top of the page, examine it, there is no blood on it, no mire, it is a perfect combination of light and crystal, reflections over reflections over reflections. Look at what it does to the buildings, to the pylon, there are differences in failing smooth over, replaced by more whole variants, the world is run by symmetry. Humans are not pure, we are composed of fetid clay and seething blood, born of mire, flowing with mud and grit through our fleshy veins, pieces of frail tissue expanding and contracting and viscous ecstasy, constantly swinging between extremes of pain and pleasure. We are complexities whose beauty is buried under layers of worn matter, frail pieces of impure skin strung together with bone and ligaments. The last of us are holed up in here, we tried to resist, but it was pointless, and I see now that there was no point. We can step into the snow, we can see the light as it should have been. Our higher functions will be given to it, our baser forms will be reused as fuel, substance, matter. We shall be reborn as light and sound, a golden bird upon a bow. The eightfold walls of Timur's tomb representing perfect cosmic order, not made of sand and stone and cobalt, but of the intangible shapes and color of higher forms. Snow is perfection, snow is a rejection of life and all of its excuses and petty reasoning. Snow is true and objective and unconcerned. It's time now, to walk into the fields of white and into my destiny. I am the last one. I resisted this nirvana, and like a bodhisattva I stay behind to instruct others. Come, all you who labor and are heavy burdened, feed it and remove the need for feeding. I am going outside now, it may be some time. Document 3799-4 Item number SCF-3799 Object Class Blizzard Special Containment Procedures SCF-3799 is currently uncontainable. The primary purpose of the Snow Containment Foundation is to prevent SCF-3799 from expanding further and to find a method of neutralization. To that end, a total of 54 sites spread across all three SCF-administered zones, Tibet, Uyghuristan and Davistan, have been established to perform research related to SCF-3799. Description SCF-3799 is a blizzard which presently covers 28% of the world's surface. This blizzard is composed of a form of snow known as SCF-3799-1. SCF-3799-1 contains a significant Cognito-Hatterd's effect in individuals exposed to it. Exposure is defined as being in the vicinity of large quantities of SCF-3799-1, or observing SCF-3799-1 for long periods of time. The Cognito-Hatterd causes the affected subjects to develop a religious interest in SCF-3799-1, eventually worshipping it as the vitally bestowed matter which will allow the individual to transcend earthly bonds. The only known way to counteract this Cognito-Hatterd's effect is through the infliction of severe pain or extreme blood loss. However, these techniques only cause a delaying effect and can never entirely erase the Cognito-Hatterd. SCF-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property if it comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCF-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCF-3799-1's Cognito-Hatterd's effects, usually within 48 hours of first displaying symptoms of Cognito-Hatterd's infection, feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCF-3799-1, first displaying great enthusiasm about expiring from hypothermia and activating SCF-3799-1's effects. The source of SCF-3799 is unknown. The date of SCF-3799's initial manifestation is unknown, but it is believed to have occurred well before the evolution of modern humans. It is believed that the origin of SCF-3799 was located on the World Island, located off the northwestern coast of the Danish colony of Iricsland. Owing to its particular religious significance to cultures across the globe, the World Island is not claimed by any governmental bodyist territory. Until 1950, the SCF-799 was established on the World Island, with the purposes of studying and containing SCF-3799. It is unknown when or why SCF-799 was originally established, but it is believed to have existed well before extant records began in 1802. As is common knowledge, SCF-3799 is the focal point for the vast majority of the world's religions, particularly Aspiratity and the culture of the White Prophet. Knowledge of SCF-3799 is public, and large numbers of religious groups have been sacrificing individuals to SCF-3799 since time immemorial. As is commonly known, virtually all political and economic developments in human history have been centered around SCF-3799 and ways to best provide enough fuel for its continued growth. Despite often contradictory evidence, it is believed that SCF-3799 has significantly altered the timeline of human history. This is due to several unexplained elements of world history, including, but not limited to, the lack of any cultural exchange between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and those of Afro-Eurasia, despite many centuries of both groups visiting the World Island for religious purposes. The continued existence of the Davite civilization, despite ample documentation describing its downfall, it is believed that SCF-3799's anomalous effects help mitigate the strength of the Davite's potential rivals. The tribes of Croatia in particular are known to have had their manpower depleted many times by sacrifices to SCF-3799. Why Site-799 is named thus, despite it being the oldest SCF faced by many centuries. The existence of the 33 anomalies currently contained by the Snow Containment Foundation, despite the containment of SCF-3799 having always been its sole mission. The existence of the Snow Containment Foundation itself, as there are no records of any individuals opposed to SCF-3799's existence, or who have demonstrated anything other than total devotion to SCF-3799. Several documents refer to an SCP Foundation, despite no such organization ever having existed. The continued existence of the human race, given the number of individuals thought to have expired within SCF-3799 over the last 5,000 years. It is believed that the Snow Containment Foundation's files on SCF-3799 have been tampered with multiple times due to individuals affected by SCF-3799-1. Addendum 3799-1 On June 14, 2017, Snow Containment Foundation researchers detected a large energy signature from a point exactly 500 meters above the former Site-799. Because of the apparent changes in the timeline caused by SCF-3799, it is theorized that Addendum 3799-2 Why are we even trying? It's at the 44% now, and it's only been a few weeks. How did this thing start? When did it start? What are we even still doing alive? Maybe we should just give up, walk outside, freeze ourselves. Maybe that is our only purpose, to become fuel. Item 3799-3 I don't think there are many of us left. There is only Site-112 and Site-3150 now. One of those houses is small aircraft, and the other one is where I am, and everyone else here is walked outside. I don't understand what I'm reading. I don't know what any of these people and civilizations are. The human race has been contained within the sites forever. That's all there's ever been, the snowfall and the foundation. What does this all mean? Document 3799-5 This was the final document recovered from SCP-3799-1. Based on the contents, it is believed to have been written by SCP-3799-1 himself, during the final hours of his life.  Object class, a Polyon or Blizzard or White, I don't even know anymore. No container procedures. We're trying to stop it, and we think we know how. Description So it won't starting stop. We tried everything. We tried sacrifice and ritual, and setting things on it and they all died. We got nothing left, but we worked it out in the end, and now I am on no way to fix it. There is this point that's miles and miles up, and it's where this comes from. It's got some weird timeshit in it.  It's an idea. An idea they made us eating up the present and the past and everything. Changing it. Changing history.   We made it. They were trying to get rid of all the anomalies that ever were, to stop the world dying a new death every other day. Have some quiet days back. But it didn't work. This is what Kells did. All that time we turned a blind eye to him. They wanted a world where they didn't have to work for their supper. They wanted purity, and they got purity.   All I know is that it didn't work. Because that's not what life is.  The scent of wheat and fields back home. Life. This thing isn't life. This thing is free of our useless imperfections.  It can't write a poem, cause it thinks art is all imagery and airy fairy fuckery. Art is life. Shakespeare grew hot for fuck's sakes.  And this thing wants to take all that and chop it up and make it into a bunch of straight lines and calculus.  I'm going into it. Into its source. Where it first came from. I'm going to bleed myself into its belly and stopping from having ever worked.  Cover in my eyes and skin, and then when I'm right in the belly I'll cut myself and give it what it hates. Blood. Life stuff. Full of fuel and waste. It'll hate that. It hates blood and mire. It won't be able to cope. All the changes.  This is my last testament. I've got all the copies of this thing. All the iterations gathered up. I reached into the archives, into the places where the snow hadn't done its job properly, and took these ghosts. These voices of what once was, and now never was. I'll take them with me, and if I survive the CK class shit, maybe someone will find them. The world that was. The world of those fuckers created. Remember us.


We turn now to our next item of business, which is topical questions. We start with question 1 from Finlay Carson. To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with Dumfries and Galloway Council regarding the closure of the new North West community campus in Dumfries. Cabinet Secretary John Swinney. Presiding Officer, the safety of students and staff is our primary concern. While this is a matter for Dumfries and Galloway Council, we have been in close contact with the council and stand ready to provide whatever assistance may be required. Scottish Government officials have undertaken regular discussions with the council and I have spoken to the chief executive of the local authority to discuss the ongoing situation at the campus. We have encouraged the council to ensure a comprehensive inspection of the condition of the campus is undertaken and ensure that any remedial action is undertaken as a matter of urgency to minimise any impact on children and young people's education. Finlay Carson. The cabinet secretary for that response is almost exactly two years ago to the day that there was the sod cutting and the cabinet secretary said that it marked an exciting milestone for Dumfries. Today, we marked another chapter in the woeful reputation of Dumfries and Galloway Council. Once again, it seems that defeat has been snatched from the jaws of victory. Parents and staff are hugely concerned that the North West community campus is unsafe. We have seen ceilings collapse, a door injuring a child after coming off its rails and the latest incident saw a child hit by a falling electronic whiteboard. That was after a council officer gave assurances that, and I quote, we have probably done far greater levels of checks now than you might normally have done. Local people appear into demanding answers. Will the cabinet secretary back my calls for a full public inquiry into what has gone wrong at this site and commit to investigate any issues that have risen at any other Government-funded schools for the future campuses? There are a number of elements in Mr Carson's answer, and I will work my way through them. First, I said in my original answer that the safety of students and staff is the absolute concern. The local authority must satisfy themselves that all scrutiny has been undertaken to ensure that the quality of the building is as it should be. Having discussed this matter with Dumfries and Galloway Council, I have seen extensive work that has been undertaken to secure the necessary confirmation that the standards of the building are as they should be. Quite clearly, that has not been satisfactory. The council must—I know that they are intent on doing this—hold the contractors to account, because they are contractual issues. None of those things should be anticipated or expected in the delivery of a school building, so the contractor must be held to account on all of that, and the local authorities will meet the contractor at very senior level tomorrow to discuss those questions. On the latter part of Mr Carson's question, there will have to be investigations into what has gone wrong here. There will have to be transparency around those issues, and from the Government's perspective, I would expect that to be the case, to ensure that we have full information on the issues that have gone wrong here. At a very late stage in the contract, it certainly appears to me to provide the reassurance that parents, staff and pupils and the local authority have the right to expect. With regard to safety checks, Dumfries and Galloway Council's website shows that a building completion certificate was granted for the project on 20 July. Five days later, a ceiling collapsed at the building after an issue with the sprinkler system. I am not a builder, but I would imagine that if this school had been filled with pupils and staff, at that time it would have been disastrous. The council website states that building regulations are in place to make sure that buildings are safe. It strikes me that the process of the council awarding completion certificates to projects that it has a vested interest in, particularly when they are behind schedule, could be open to suggestions of possible and potential conflicts of interest. Will the Deputy First Minister give assurance that the process will be reviewed when we are looking at the process of deeming whether buildings are safe for use? It is really important that we remember what is the purpose of the certificates that are issued by local authorities. It is to provide confirmation that buildings have been built to the necessary standards and to provide clarity and reassurance on that to members of the public. A local authority has a statutory duty to undertake that task, independent of whether it has an interest in the building. It must provide that assurance. Certainly those issues that are raised by Mr Carson are legitimate points to be raised in the discussion that we have about the safety and security of buildings, but what I would say to Mr Carson at this stage and to say to Parliament is that fundamentally we rely on contractors doing the job that they are contracted to undertake. Fundamentally that is the issue and yes of course there have to be checks to make sure that that has been done. At this stage it seems to me pretty clear that contractors have let the local authority down and the contractors must be held to account for what has happened in this case. There are four other members who wish to ask a question on this. If we are to have a chance of getting to each of them, I would ask all members to keep their questions and ministerial responses short. Emma Harper. It is extremely concerning that this is the second incident in a three-week period that has resulted in the safety of children and indeed all building users being compromised. Can I therefore ask the cabinet secretary what action the Scottish Government can take to ensure all future public building works in the south west of Scotland and indeed across Scotland are inspected and thoroughly checked to ensure that they are of the optimal health and safety standard before they are signed off and open to children, teachers and the wider public? Presiding Officer, the health and safety work act places a duty on all owners of buildings to ensure that their premises are safe and without risks to the health of anyone involved. In addition to that requirement, which applies across all bodies and should apply across the south of Scotland, public sector bodies procuring construction works must have regard to Scottish Government construction policy note 1 oblique 201 2017. That provides guidance for contracting authorities on making appropriate arrangements for the independent inspection of construction activities. That guidance was prepared following the publication of the report on the independent inquiry into the construction of Edinburgh schools, the co-report, which was reported prior to that notice being produced. Colin Smyth. We have now had three incidents at the new campus despite assurances being given to the council on a number of occasions by the private contractors, Graham and developers hubs south west at the building, was safe and the councils now had to bring an independent third party to check the school, which may result in further problems being discovered. They have issued the extraordinary statement that they have lost complete confidence in both the contractor and the developer. Does the Deputy First Minister have confidence in Graham and hubs south west? Does he share my concern that we appear to have a Government developed procurement process for new schools that does not appear to properly hold private contractors to account for serious breaches of safety? I expect private contractors to be held to account for contractual failures, which has been the heart of my answers to Mr Carson today. I am clear to the chief executive of the local authority when I spoke to him that I expected the private contractor to be held to account, because this is very basic elementary stuff that no contractor should be failing on in terms of the provision of public sector buildings. There are contractual arrangements. I have seen documentary evidence of the local authority being assured by the private contractor, and I will quote from this letter. Graham gives you, this is a local authority, an unequivocal commitment to provide the council with the facility that it expected to have when we entered into the contract. That is an unequivocal commitment, which I would expect Graham to be held to. In all those matters, I think that there is a pretty simple answer. When people are contracted to build buildings to a certain standard, they should do it. That would save the pupils and the staff of the north-west campus the great deal of uncertainty and inconvenience that they are facing as a consequence of those issues. Joan McAlpine Professor Cole also produced a report that exposed the failings in the way that Dumfries and Galloway council officers monitored the contractors at the DG1 leisure centre, which was closed for safety reasons. Does the minister share my concerns that lessons have not been learned from that report? It is important that, when there is material such as the Cole report produced that we follow and observe those recommendations and the issues that are raised. What strikes me in the information that I have seen in relation to Dumfries and Galloway council's handling of the matter is that it has been given a range of different assurances by the contractor. It has sought to verify those assurances and the fact that we are where we are today demonstrates that that process has not been as effective as it should be. I would expect Dumfries and Galloway council to be looking very carefully at the material from the Cole report and particularly in relation to that process, ensuring that there is effective scrutiny put in place to protect the public interest and to protect the safety of members of staff and pupils at the north-west community campus. Professor Cole told the local government and communities committee last week that it is possible for anyone—mysel, for yourself, Mr Swinney—to sign a completion certificate. You do not have to have any level of expertise. Anyone can do it. That is wrong, isn't it? I certainly would not be signing off a completion certificate on a building. I think that what is important is that any public authority that has a responsibility for the construction of a building makes sure that there are the appropriate expertise within the organisation to ensure that that process is undertaken satisfactorily and in accordance with the requirements of statute. Local authorities and other public bodies must take account of their responsibilities in statute to ensure that they are signing off particular commitments or agreements that they have taken into account of their statutory responsibilities in that respect. I should first declare an interest as convener of the cross-party group on animal welfare. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will ban the export of livestock for fattening for slaughter. I am aware of Christine Grahame's long-standing interest and commitment to animal welfare, and I know that that is an issue that she has raised in the chamber on a number of occasions. I really just want her to know that I share her passion for the welfare of animals, and that is why, in the care of livestock in all circumstances, we adhere to the highest standards and regulations as issued by the EU. The Government recognises, as does the dairy sector and the NFUS, that the issue of male dairy calves is very complex. It is not a black-and-white situation. Male dairy calves are currently of no real productive value in this country, so they either end up being slaughtered at birth or exported to other countries, including continental Europe. No one is very comfortable with that situation. We will work with the sector to look at other options. I am pleased that the Government is supporting the ethical dairy, which is taking a very different approach to dairy cows and their calves. I want to make Parliament aware today that P&O ferries have confirmed that they will no longer be transporting live calves from Scotland, which are destined for continental Europe. They have said that they were shocked by the scenes in last night's BBC documentary, and that has influenced that decision. I, too, was shocked by the scenes that we saw in the documentary last night, but I have to emphasise that there was not anything in that that suggested that any harm had been done or that there was any breach of any welfare standards by anyone transporting the calves from Scotland to Northern Ireland, Ireland or to continental Europe. I am concerned about the decision that has been reached by P&O. I will urgently seek to find out more information about that, because, obviously, we need to determine that there are no other impacts to live transport of animals to Northern Ireland or Ireland, not indeed for the operation at Cairnryan more widely. I want to reassure everybody in this chamber today and elsewhere that this Government remains absolutely committed to ensuring that livestock in Scotland are reared, transported and treated throughout their lives humanely with respect to the highest possible welfare standards. Just as I made clear to the BBC Scotland in my interview for last night's documentary, if anybody has any evidence that that is not happening, I would hope that they would come to me with that information. Christine Grahame I welcome the minister to a portfolio and thank her for a very thoughtful and extensive reply, and make it plain that I do not blame the farming community or indeed P&O lines were shipping to Northern Ireland, and I understand EU restrictions. I am pleased to hear her reflect on ethical farming, such as David and Wilma Finlay run at the farming gate to the fleet. The question for the Government is this, and I ask them whether they agree with me on this. Our concept of animals now as a sentient being has changed our whole concept of animal welfare. There remains widespread concern about the removal of bull calves, weeks old from their mothers, distressing for both, transporting them in some cases over six days, whether or not they agree with the conditions from Scotland, not of course England, to be fattened and slaughtered. My question to the Scottish Government is in all these circumstances notwithstanding the welcome words of the minister and I hope that we do make progress, can her Government guarantee the welfare of these calves from removal from their mothers to export through fattening to dispatch in whichever country that takes place? That is the issue, guaranteeing their welfare throughout. Thank you. That is exactly what we are trying to do. This is something that I am passionate about and that I very much care about, because it is the welfare of the animals that is of paramount importance here. That is why the Scottish Government has undertaken a project that started in January of this year and is due to run until January next year, where we are monitoring every single stage of that process to ensure that we are adhering to the highest welfare standards that we possibly can and to make sure that we do not end up in a situation where animals are being mistreated. I have to emphasise that. Throughout the project so far, as far as I am aware, there have not been any instances of that, but that is exactly why we are undertaking this work, to ensure that that does not happen. I completely understand how emotive the issue is that there are a lot of strong feelings around it, especially when we look at the number of days or the number of hours that it has seen that animals have to be transported. Within that, I emphasise as well that half of that time is taken for the resting of the animals, too. It is not as straightforward as sometimes it is made out to be, but we are absolutely committed to upholding the highest animal welfare standards. That is why we are undertaking this project, so that we can ensure that that is being done. Thank you very much. I did not really hear a further response to my question about the ethical farming run by the Finlay's at Gatehouse of Fleet. It seems to me that, if that is replicated throughout Scotland, whether or not there is a band becomes irrelevant, because we will not be using that practice. Ethical farming, where farmers get a proper price for their milk produce, where the bull carves are reeled on the farm until they are six months old and slotted in Scotland, removes all necessity for worrying about their transport and what happens when they leave our shores. I would reflect back to my opening statement, because, again, the situation that we have at present is something that no one is happy with. Ideally, we would have a situation in which animals are reared and slaughtered as close to where they are produced as possible. We are currently not in that situation, but that is why I support and the Scottish Government supports the ethical dairy and why I am keen to engage with the dairy industry and dairy farmers to see whether there is something that we can do about it. Again, I would be happy to meet members in the chamber and, again, I will be looking to actively engage with the dairy sector so that we can investigate. I know that other members probably will have been sent the briefing that came around from the NFUS today, where they said that the Scottish dairy industry is actively working to reduce the number and find alternative home markets. I would endorse that and support that work, and that is really what we are keen to do. Welcome. We have always had very full questions and very full and detailed answers, which we welcome by all members. However, there are five more members. There is a huge amount of interest in the subject. I think that there is a chance of getting through all five, but if we have six sync questions and six sync answers, we will get through a few. Mark Ruskell first. The minister has just repeated the assertion that she made on the BBC last night, which is that she had no knowledge that those animals were being transported to North Africa. I find it difficult to believe, given that a letter was sent to the First Minister detailing those transports back in the spring. Does the minister now acknowledge that there is a huge difference between a ferry trip of sheep from the Shetland Isles and a 135-hour journey that sheep and dairy calves are making through to Spain and onwards to Africa and that a ban on live exports will not lead to a ban on imports of cattle and sheep within the UK? I would highlight that one thing I specifically asked the BBC for when I undertook that interview was if they had any evidence of our cattle being transported or ending up in countries outside the EU to hand that to us. As yet, I have not received any evidence to that. As I said, we are undertaking this project, which is running for a year, to monitor the situation to see exactly what is happening. As a result of that, I have not seen any evidence that that is what is taking place, as the member suggests. Again, if there is evidence to the contrary, I am happy to receive it. Parliament requires me to make a declaration of my interests, and I wish to do so slightly longer than I would normally consider the emotiveness of the subject. I am part of a family partnership producing beef cattle. We sell breeding cattle mainly within the UK and Ireland. The disclosure programme aired last night does not accurately reflect the high standards of welfare within the industry in Scotland that I have known and worked in for the 39 years of my working life. I would like to ask the minister, will she be working with the UK Government to ensure that the high standards that are practised in the UK in our farming industry are replicated across the world? I thank the member for that question. I heart back to the project that we are undertaking, because that is exactly what we want to do. We have a pride record of animal welfare standards in Scotland at the moment. I believe that the study is the first of its kind anywhere else in the world. We could well learn lessons from that and therefore improve the legislation and the regulations that we have at the moment. It is absolutely of paramount importance to me that we maintain high standards in Scotland, so of course I will be doing everything that we can regardless of what happens to Brexit to make sure that we maintain those high standards. In this chamber, on 6 June, I said to Fergus Ewing that the concern is not about direct exports from Scotland but about Scottish animals ending up in Spain and North Africa for slaughter. He avoided answering my question and checked the official report. There is an alternative to slaughtering calves at a few weeks old. That is to rear them here for veal production and to promote this for the UK consumer. The minister has just said that she will do everything that she can to maintain high standards. Will the Scottish Government take positive action to promote the consumption of Scottish veal by the UK consumer so that we can make this productive for farmers? I thank the member for that question. As I said in an earlier answer, I am absolutely open to looking at all alternatives and engaging with the industry to see what we can do. Again, it is a situation that not everyone is happy with, and I am absolutely committed to doing that and engaging with the industry to see how we can move forward positively. Claudia Beamish Building on the previous questions, last night's BBC disclosure programme highlighted, as we have heard, the Galloway farm of Wilmer and David Finlay, who are visited in South Scotland. They have an ethical system, and the losses from the lower milk yield through selling the male cows at 18 months, instead of them either being shot or birthed or transported at up to four weeks, could make up the difference. In the interim, will the Scottish Government consider the possibility of supporting the development of these herds through possible transition subsidies? Will the minister agree with me that surely the only way to stop this is to ban live exports as Scottish Labour and some other opposition party such as the Greens think that we should be doing? The issue is not as black and white as that, because we export animals for a whole variety of different reasons. As far as I am aware from some organisations, we transport animals for further production, we transport animals for breeding as well, which I believe is something that not all organisations have an issue with. When it comes to the ethical dairy, there is business that I have yet to meet, but I am very keen to meet them and to do that as soon as possible. Again, when it comes to alternatives, as I said in previous responses, I am happy to investigate this and to look at other alternative solutions so that we can find a positive way forward. I have listened carefully to Christine Grahame's questions, as well as the minister's response, and I would be happy to introduce her to David and Wilma Finlay for a visit to the south-west. I am interested to know whether the minister is supporting the NFU Scotland's call for sound science and existing standards to be the basis of discussions prior to any changes to live export regulation. Again, I talked about the Scottish Government project that is currently under way, and I would reference that again. That is exactly why we are undertaking that work to actually get all that scientific evidence, to get the data, to see what improvements we need to make, if any. I also gratefully accept Emma Harper's invitation to visit the ethical dairy. Again, that is something that I am keen to do and to look at all those other alternatives. Thank you very much, and that concludes the topic of questions. I thank all the members and the ministers, in fact, for extending what was clearly a lot of political interest.


Celiac disease, CD, is a genetic autoimmune disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when exposed to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. This study examined the dietary habits of Danish infants and young children to determine how much gluten they consume. It was found that gluten consumption increases with age, with boys consuming more gluten than girls. Additionally, non-breastfed infants consumed more gluten than partially breastfed infants. This article was authored by Camilla Hopper, Ellen Troll, Ulla H. Gondolf, and others.
