Well run reflective shield uh sometimes not as rmp though just running at her rmp and no but it's just like it's a waste of two talent points Because it doesn't really add any Kill potential because of the way the rmp Sets up and kill stuff generally the reflected damage isn't gonna actually add any value to that You know you're gonna cross cc some people and stun one guy and all nuke him right? That's like the way rmp kills stuff the reflective isn't gonna add any damage value to that go in an any meaningful way If it's something like tsg or something that zergs the priest Then there are situations when yeah the the reflective damage can add a bit of value But like if you if you look at it In terms of like that reflected damage on someone so like say you shield right and the warrior hits into it and Gets 3k damage reflected on himself right if that warrior if nothing's happening at that moment and the warrior Just gets healed up to full that reflected damage isn't adding any pressure Right because he's getting topped regardless, but if he doesn't get topped Then that pressure is adding value You know you're creating pressure to Their enemy healer by reflecting additional damage So you can like pull people behind pillars and things like this and the reflective shield is gonna Contribute to keeping them lower So that for example if you're playing priest hunter against pal of warrior or something and the warrior is on you You bring him behind a pillar. He's got dots. He's taking damage from the hunter.  So all of that reflective shield damage Has pure like 100 value, right? This is damage that he wouldn't have otherwise taken So he's lower than he otherwise would have been for free. So things like priest feral priest hunter Uh priest dk they all kind of do damage In that way, right where it's kind of like sustaining damage with a little bit of added cc And this is where reflective is strong. So this is these are the kind of comps where you want to use it Whereas like burst comps and and set up comps like priest rogue priest mage rmp. You don't really want the reflective shield because the Damage value isn't gonna assist in the way that you're gonna kill stuff


Why did Atlas port Persona 3 portable to the Nintendo Switch and not Persona 3 Fez? Yes, the server result said to pronounce it Fez in this video, so I'm doing so, and besides, Fez is a cool. After a very long wait, Persona fans can now enjoy a version of Persona 3 on modern consoles, including Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, as well as PC. Some fans have been disappointed, though, that Atlas chose to port the slim-down PSP version of the game, Persona 3 portable, rather than the more expansive PlayStation 2 director's cut, Persona 3 Fez. Nobody at Atlas has been forthcoming about the reason for this decision, so we did some digging. We looked at old interviews given by the developers at the time of P3P's release, in an effort to identify why they would consider this to be the must-play version of the game on modern hardware. One answer is, because they put a lot of work into it and they want you to appreciate that. Another explanation is that Persona 3 portable was designed as the most accessible version of the game, in an effort to make it more palatable to Persona 4 fans who wanted to explore the series history. Said project director and design director Mewmon Yusuda, after P3 and Persona 3 Fez, Persona 4 was released. We're quite grateful for all the attention it received, and it brought many new fans to the series. Seeing that response, we thought that all these new fans, as well as people who haven't played a Persona game before, might want to get to know the series a bit more. P3 was a turning point in the series, and we felt that if we made a handheld console port, many more people would be able to play it more easily. With that in mind, we set to work. Persona 3 Fez released less than a year after the original Persona 3, as a kind of director's cut. Among other changes, its most notable inclusion is an expansive epilogue chapter, localised into English as The Answer, which explores events after the canonical end of the game. This epilogue is missing from Persona 3 portable, and it's not the only thing. In order to cram a full PS2 game onto a PSP UMD, the developers stripped out much of the game's polygons and presented the bulk of the story as a visual novel. According to Yusuda, the team was woefully unprepared for the challenge of developing for PSP, and the vast majority of the game had to be redone entirely from scratch. He said, When we started the project, we basically had no experience with PSP software development. Accordingly, we had no idea how much development would cost. We figured we'd just have to give it a shot and work from there, so it ended up being more of an undertaking than we had initially imagined. Cut this bit. Change that bit. We had never envisioned any of it when we started, but if we didn't cut down on various internal parts of the game, it just wouldn't fit. Development quite difficult because of this. Every step of the way we'd hit a new wall, and every time we'd have to overcome it. Take the 3D character models for instance. If we left those as is, they definitely wouldn't fit.  In the end, we essentially had to remake everything. For the development team, though, it wasn't enough to simply recreate an approximation of the original game in portable form. They wanted to add a substantial new element that would give existing fans reason to revisit the game. This task was assigned to Azusa Kido, a rare woman on the development team, who had originally been responsible for Persona 3's social links, the system by which the player makes friends in the real world. As game director and scenario writer, she reworked many of the social links, but the main bulk of her work involved creating the game's new female protagonist. This decision came from feedback from fans, as the team strove to incorporate the desires that players had for the series. Yusuda said, We knew from surveys that female fans wanted to be able to play as a female character. There were a variety of contributing factors, and with all of them taken into account, we decided that it was the right time to add a female protagonist. Designing this new player character took a lot of work. Character designer Shigenori Soejima has explained how his first few designs for the protagonist were rejected for appealing too much to the male gaze. He said, Kido said that only trying to draw a girl that men would find cute would make her a heroine, but not necessarily a protagonist. I suppose I made her too ideal a woman, one that appears largely to men. So I read some shoujo manga, and realised that male and female protagonists have similar designs fundamentally. Male protagonists seem absent-minded and unapproachable at first, but they're often designed in a way where they get better and cooler when you look at them properly. If you make the protagonist look like you're ideal, rather than a representation of yourself, they end up becoming the boyfriend or prince in shoujo manga, or the heroine in shounen manga. I learned that when there's no space for a character to grow, regardless of their gender, then they can't become a protagonist because they aren't relatable. At the same time, Kido has stated that the team were hesitant to add in new characters and content simply for the sake of bulking out the game. She said, we wanted to make the game feel new, and adding new characters is a critical part of that, but we couldn't just throw in new characters for no reason. P3 was already a complete work, so adding new characters to the protagonist's main friend group was out of the question. One element of gameplay that saw a significant reworking was the combat. In the original Persona 3 and in Persona 3 Fez, while the player can select their characters' moves in battle, companion characters' moves are chosen by AI. With four party members to account for, this means the player only selects a quarter of the team's moves, leading to a large random element for each battle. Katsura Hoshino, who directed original Persona 3, has explained that this mechanic was not exactly popular with players. He said, I think it's more fun to have the party members control by their AI, so each member's characteristics and personality are on vivid display. There were no objections raised among the Persona 3 development team either. It's a completely different story, though, if the AI routines used in the game were limited. It wasn't well received by many of the Persona 3 players. We were on the AI-crafting side, so I guess our tolerance level was higher than that of the players. Based on player feedback, Persona 4 instead allows players to control their entire party in battle. When going back to work on Persona 3 again, the portable team decided that it was best to incorporate elements of Persona 4's combat system into the remade game, including the option to control the whole party, as well as some other mechanics. Persona 3 Portable is designed to help newer Persona 4 fans feel more comfortable with a slightly older game, and this is one of the more likely reasons why Atlas feels that this version is the best for new players in 2023. Of course, there is one other difference between Persona 3 Fairs and Persona 3 Portable which may have impacted this decision, the two game's disparate sales figures. According to charts from Persona Central, taken from the weekly sales figures from Famitsu Magazine, both Persona 3 Fairs and Persona 3 Portable sold a little over 100,000 units in their first week on sale in Japan. After this, though, Persona 3 Portable went on to generate an additional 100,000 sales over time, while Persona 3 Fairs only managed an additional 50,000 sales. Including re-releases as well, Persona 3 Portable has sold over 300,000 units in Japan, making it one of the highest selling remakes in Atlas's catalogue. These then are the more likely reasons why Persona 3 Portable was chosen over Persona 3 Fairs. It's a more financially successful version of the game, with content designed to appeal to longtime fans and newcomers alike. The moral of the story? Uh, something about not judging a book by its cover, I guess? And Fez is a cool, the end.


I call on Elena Whitham up to 10 minutes, minister. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Every life lost to drugs is a tragedy. Collectively, we feel the loss of the talent and the potential of far too many of our people. I offer my condolences to everyone who has felt this loss and my unwavering commitment to continue the work to turn the tide on this public health emergency. Families and people with real life experience of drug and alcohol problems tell me that there must be a commitment to change at all levels from the front line to local leaders and from public services to national leaders. This is reflected in the Matt implementation benchmarking report published by Public Health Scotland this morning. The report covers the year up to April 2023 and charts the significant progress that has been made right across the country since the first benchmarking report was published in June 2022. I am heartened by the progress shown in this report. However, there is still much work to do to fully implement the standards by April 2025 and for them to be sustainable by April 2026. From my previous work in homelessness supporting many people dealing with substance use issues and as a women's aid worker and indeed as a councillor campaigning for change myself I am fully aware that the targets we have set for local areas to implement these standards have always been ambitious. However, Matt's standards will save lives and make a long-term difference for people in treatment. Today's report includes maps comparing progress with the position in April 2022. The national picture is clearly improving as the maps also allow us now to chart progress area by area. Naturally, much attention will focus on the red amber green implementation tables and those are showing good progress on Matt 1 and 2. There has also been a transformation in rapid access to OST with 18 of the 29 local areas having fully implemented Matt's standard 1 compared to just one area in 2022. Likewise, Matt's standard 2 on choice is now fully implemented in 27 of the 29 ADPA areas. Overall, by April 2023, 66 per cent of Matt's standards 1 to 5 have been fully implemented compared to 17 per cent in 2022. 88 per cent of Matt's standards 6 to 10 have been partially implemented. I realised that we were aiming for 100 per cent implementation of Matt's standards 1 to 5 and partial implementation of Matt's standards 6 to 10 for this report. That has not been achieved and many will see that this is not good enough. Although I absolutely agree on the need for urgency and pace around reducing harm and saving lives, I also know from the outset many people did not believe that services could achieve what they have now achieved and it is better to aim high than not to take any attempt to make any significant change at all. All ADPA areas with remote and rural settings demonstrated innovation in terms of maximising use of technology, subsidised travel and flexible models of care so that people could benefit from equitable care and treatment and I really thank them for thinking outside the box. This report includes some case studies which reflect that change is already happening in many places. I have had the privilege to speak with a lot of groups, service providers and people accessing services over the past few months and I visited drop-in centres providing Matt to see improvements and change on the ground for myself. I have seen and heard of the progress being made and what the future plans are for full and sustained implementation of the standards. The report shows a dramatic increase in capacity and capability in ADPs for evidence collection and with almost all areas now collecting experiential feedback from people who have recently used services. However, putting reliable and sensitive systems in place for collecting this feedback is a major challenge. This will take some time to fully embed but it is undoubtedly the most important measure for whether the Matt standards are in place. Strengthening the experiential feedback is one of the four key recommendations made in the report along with building sustainable numerical data systems, establishing systems for more direct support and further development of guidance for implementation and assessment. The report also reflects on next steps for local and national partners to further improve the landscape to help services to make the necessary improvements and I expect everyone from every service to work collaboratively to deliver on this part of the on-going national mission. For avoidance of any doubt this Government remains committed to the continuing funding of the mission over the course of this parliamentary term. The report highlights the need for changes in healthcare models to support implementation of Matt in prison. We will be focused on establishing a more consistent approach to access and choice in justice settings, addressing data sharing challenges and sharing best practice on several models that will deliver better outcomes for people. A justice network for Matt implementation is already sharing experience across areas and identifying best practice models. For the remainder of the national mission we are also committed to focusing more on the care and support for people who have problems with benzodiazepines, stimulants and alcohol rather than focusing only on opioid use. This is absolutely imperative. We have already committed to all of this on-going work through the Scottish Government Cross-Government Action Plan which we published in January 2023. It sets out how we are responding to the final recommendations made by the Drugs Death Task Force and how the national mission is being taken forward through a whole Government, whole Scotland approach. It also includes detail on what we are doing to address workforce issues raised in this benchmarking report and also to tackle stigma. Matt standards are about delivering faster, more responsive services but they are also about changing hearts and minds including tackling stigma and discrimination. I make no mistake, I am acutely aware of the damaging nature of stigma and we must challenge it wherever and whenever we see it. There are innovations being taken forward by ADPs and local partnerships to help address Drugs Death and one that I know is of great interest to the chamber is the potential use of safer drug consumption facilities. I confirm that the Government remains committed to introducing the introduction of the Glasgow pilot and I will inform Parliament immediately when the view is reached by the Lord Advocate on the proposals from Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership and Police Scotland. Although there have been clear improvements made in response to the letter of direction issue to local services last year, we need to continue with formal oversight procedures and clear local accountability. We will maintain the requirement for quarterly progress reports from local areas against their implementation plans with monthly reports from areas of concern. This new benchmarking report will allow us to identify the areas that we now need to focus on. I will be writing to local areas in the coming weeks to update the oversight arrangements accordingly. I will also be meeting local leaders to challenge them on progress, particularly where we believe more commitment is needed from senior colleagues. We all want people to exercise their right to treatment but that will all be for nothing if the services are not in place. The letter of direction requiring local leaders to implement the standards will be remaining in place and I will continue to provide Parliament with regular updates on progress. The benchmarking report concludes that there has been a transformational change in improved access and choice of treatment for people with problematic drug use and a significant improvement in other match standards. That is a direct result of the hard work and collaboration between alcohol and drug partnerships including clinical third sector and lived and living experience partners and of a shift in culture that has overcome many barriers to change. Of course the continuing commitment from this chamber and all of you is helping to drive improvement as well. I thank the match standards implementation support team for their continuing hands-on support working alongside local areas and also Public Health Scotland for this vital report. Match standards are about driving change and improving outcomes. The standards are empowering people to demand the treatment that they deserve and there is no going back. We can now only go forward. To quote again from the report's conclusion, implementation of the match standards is a vehicle for change and not a sufficient end in itself. For this year and the remainder of the national mission, their priority will be full, equitable and sustained implementation of the match standards in all areas. Thank you. The minister will now take questions on the issues raised in her statement. I intend to allow around 20 minutes for questions after which we'll move on to the next item of business and I'd be grateful if members who wish to ask a question were to press their request to speak buttons. I call Sue Webber. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The minister may be heartened by today's figures, but I am utterly dismayed. Originally, the Government planned to implement the standards by April 2022, but were forced to push the deadline to April 2024 with the promises that only standards 1 to 5 would be fully implemented by April 2023. Here we are. Today's analysis lays bare the failure of this SNP Government. Two thirds of standards 1 to 5 have not been fully implemented despite the promise of 100 per cent implementation. In the forward to the report, Tom Bennett from the Scottish Recovery Consortium highlighted that in many Scottish local authorities the failure to meet these expectations is leading to tragic outcomes. The minister's statement makes scant reference to the prison system, but the report in itself is totally damming. It states that clinical capacity to deliver the mat standards in prisons is insufficient and highlights structural and healthcare capacity issues across the prison service. It is shocking that the minister has remained almost silent on the problem in our prisons in her statement today. This is exactly the time when we should be intervening to support those who want to break the cycle of substance misuse. With the emerging drug trends unfolding in our prison system, can the minister tell us specifically what has been done to break the cycle of addiction in prisons? I thank Sue Weber for her question, and I recognise the passion that she has in this area of wanting to see change being driven forward, and I am absolutely committed to work with her and indeed members right across this chamber to ensure that we can do that. The mat standards have to work in justice settings. We will be pushing and supporting local areas, including healthcare teams and prisons to achieve the full implementation by 2025, as previously announced. There are specific challenges in justice settings as highlighted in the benchmarking report. However, we have already announced our intention to improve healthcare in prisons through new models of care, improvements of data collection, and setting up better links between services in prison and services in the local communities to address the issues identified in this report. The miss team this year will be supporting health teams in prison settings on embedding mat standards 3 in particular. That is round about a set of outreach, but I also anticipate that there needs to be meeting people when they are coming out of prison, which we know is an absolute area of concern and a potential for people to come to harm. We will continue to learn from best practice and the implementation of the mat standards, and we will engage with experts on the ground on the most appropriate ways to deliver those vital changes in all settings. I was in Glasgow this morning and I was hearing of the wonderful work that Cisco was doing in the prisons to deliver that peer-to-peer harm reduction in that setting, but also to make sure that they are doing that proactive outreach work when people are coming out of prison. I am happy to go and visit anywhere else in the country that we are seeing that work so that we can passport that learning between different areas. I will get you back later. I thank the minister for her statement, but it does represent an alternate reality. Let's be very clear. Today's report shows that once again the Scottish Government has failed to deliver on its promises in tackling this public health emergency. Three drug ministers in four years and none of them have made a dent in the problem. Let me remind the chamber that originally all 10 mat standards were to be fully implemented over a year ago. In March 2021, her predecessor said in this chamber, we will ensure that those standards are fully embedded across the country by April 2022. They failed. Then it became April 2023 for standards 1 to 5. And guess what? Failed again. And this has real consequences because Scotland's drug death figures hit their worst level in two years earlier this month. That's despite the Scottish Government declaring it as a public health emergency over three and a half years ago. Can the minister guarantee that all 10 standards will be fully implemented by April 2025 three years later than originally planned? Minister. I thank Dame Bailey for her question. I recognise that she also has a keen interest in this area. I am determined that we are going to see sustained implementation of these standards by the standards that are set out within the benchmarking report because there is no other option but to ensure that we prevent harm and that we save lives. I am going to make sure that those areas who are not where we want them to be will have continuous meetings with me on a regular and monthly basis because that letter of direction is going to remain in place. I also want to engage with local leaders on it. Those in local areas who are locally elected who I really think need to work in partnership with us to make sure that we drive that change forward. I call Clare Haughey to be followed by Sandesh Delhany. Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the minister what steps are being taken to ensure local accountability and implementing the MAP standards with a view to driving improvements right across Scotland. Minister. I thank Clare Haughey for that question. Ministers have directed chief officers of health and social care partnerships and chief executives of their NHS health boards and local authorities to implement the MAP standards. For each local authority area, there is a senior figure that has been identified to lead on the implementation of MAP, which includes the publication and reporting on MAP implementation plans. Reports are provided quarterly for most areas, although areas of specific concern are required to report monthly on their progress and have lots of meetings with me. Ministers and senior government officials will be continuing to meet regularly so that we can try to ensure that there is local accountability. I have also just recently met Councillor Kelly, COSLA's health and social care spokesperson, and we both agreed that we need to harness the drive and commitment of local elected leaders to help to drive our national mission forward. I will be attending an upcoming COSLA board meeting to hear directly from them of their concerns, but also to work in collaboration with them. Sandesh Delhany to be followed by Emma Harper. I will start with the declaration of interests of practicing NHS GP. Drug deaths are still worryingly high in what is our national shame. The Scottish Government need to act, and they need to back our right to recovery bill. One of the actions that the Minister has outlined is the pilot for safe consumption rooms in Glasgow. I have had people speak to me with concerns about a consumption room being in their area. Whilst the Scottish Conservatives support the concept of a pilot and drug consumption room, before any decision is made, will the Minister publish a long list of exact areas where they might place the consumption rooms? Will there be an opportunity for residents around those sites to be able to feed into the consultations? Will they listen? I thank Dr Gilhane for his question. I recognise that we are in a position right across this chamber where we have an agreed position on the pilot for a safer consumption facility to be rolled out once we get that go-ahead from the Lord Advocate if that's the decision that she reaches. Once she reaches that decision there absolutely has to be consultation with the local area roundabout the area that's actually been identified for such a facility to be in place. That's absolutely correct that we do consult with the local community. I just say to Dr Gilhane that there's no doubt in my mind that a safer consumption facility and indeed multiple safer consumption facilities if we get to that point are a key part of harm reduction and saving lives. They're not the only part but they've been shown around the world to actually save lives. If we look across to Canada there's nearly 50 of them in operation at the moment. Emma Harper to be followed by Paul Sweeney. As the minister will know I've been working with her and her predecessor to tackle drug and alcohol related stigma which affects individuals, families and communities and which can have a negative effect on recovery. I welcome that now has specific information for health and social care staff on TURAS which is the learning platform for health and social care staff. They have this education around stigma but I think there is a wee bit room to go further. NHS Inform has a great drug and alcohol related stigma information in a short comprehensive format. So would the minister consider working with NES to put this information into a mandatory module on the TURAS platform for all health and social care staff not only those working in drug and alcohol addiction services so that we can truly help combat drug and alcohol related stigma. Minister, I thank Emma Harper for raising this crucial subject of tackling stigma and I know it's something that she's a champion of and as she knows the stigma prevents people from accessing the treatment and support they need and that they are entitled to and tackling stigma is a cross-cunt priority of our national mission on drugs which we published in our stigma action plan in January and I know that the former Minister for Drugs Policy, Ms Constance, wrote to Ms Harper early in the year to advise that officials had met with NHS Education Scotland and whilst there are not currently plans to develop a specific module on drug stigma it is a theme throughout the core skills modules within the Developing Scotland Substance Use Workforce section in the learning platform and I'll be happy to discuss making this training module a compulsory component for workforce training and I'll be happy to update Ms Harper on progress. We need to be followed by Audrey Nicholl. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Whilst I note the minister's comments on those prevention facilities and the principle of having them is surely a good thing progress is still painfully slow but I hope that we can work together in furthering this agenda as part of my member's bill across party. The minister will also be aware that the original target date for MAC standards 1-5 was April 2022 and despite the minister saying she's heartened her report, not a single ADP in Glasgow has fully implemented standards 1-5 by April 2023 12 months after the original target date. This was not a stretched target as the minister characterised this was a baseline particularly in a city like Glasgow so last year after that target was missed the former minister for drugs policy told the chamber when it comes to implementing MAC standards I'm not asking and I'm not taking no for an answer but here we are 14 months after that original target date and we are still miles off full implementation so can the minister please tell us today in the chamber when she expects to see full implementation of MAC standards 1-5 across Scotland given we have now missed two critical target dates and we should give a cast and guarantee that ADPs in Glasgow will have achieved full implementation of 6-10 by the target date of April 2025. I'm fully committed to making sure that ADPs right across the country including in Glasgow reach these targets and whilst I accept that they weren't originally a stretch aim and a stretch ambition I think that we cannot fail to recognise the amount of work that has gone on within local areas to drive change forward so I am committed to working with everybody across the chamber on this issue I'm committed to working with local leaders in their local areas whether that's senior people in charge of services or elected members that are in charge of making those changes forward so I absolutely give my guarantee that I will work as hard as I possibly can with my colleagues in the missed team and everybody across the local areas to deliver on that promise The recently published European drug report of 2023 highlights that across Europe opioids in combination with other substances remain the group of substances most commonly implicated in drug related deaths and the proportion of deaths in older age groups is increasing and furthermore it highlights that the hidden and stigmatised nature of high risk drug use makes preventing and responding to drug harm extremely difficult. With reference to mat standard 3 can the minister outline the progress being made to ensure people at high risk of drug related harm are proactively identified and offered support to commence or continue mat? One of the key aims of the national mission is to get people most at risk into protection treatment that provides and to wrap other support around them We know that being in treatment actually offers that protective surrounding that person but we also know that as time goes on that protective factor decreases so it's very important that the implementation of mat standard 3 is crucial to make sure that this support is in place Under mat 3 all people at high risk must be proactively identified and offered support and choice in treatment and support. This has been achieved through assertive outreach by services especially for those who have stopped attending services and also for those who have suffered a non fatal overdose. We need to ensure that there's clear pathways so that services are responding to that need and assertively going out to find those individuals and get them into those protective treatment services. We also need to ensure that there's support for transitions at key points so as I said previously settings are as in leaving a justice setting or even being discharged from hospital so mat 3 focuses services on those who have left residential justice and in patient services I call Alex Cole-Hamilton to be followed by Stuart McMillan. The minister's predecessor sought and won cross-party consenters for the introduction of mat standards but it is concerning the number of targets that have been missed in particular the fact that same day treatment we were meant to have universal coverage for same day treatment right now but more than a third of ADPs do not have that in place that can save lives but it may cost lives not to have achieved that target so can I ask the minister what specifically will her government do to ensure that ADPs are equipped with the resources necessary to achieve that standard of same day treatment particularly in areas of rurality. Minister. Alex Cole-Hamilton for that question and I absolutely understand the issues facing areas where there is remote and rurality consequences because in those settings it's very difficult to deliver same day mat standards one if people cannot get access to the treatment in place so for me it's important that we actually support innovation in that area and we help to passport where innovation has happened because we do know that in some remote and rural areas they have been able to achieve mat standard one so I'm happy to work across the different sectors, the different areas to make sure that we can passport that information and I think the meetings that we have with the ADP chairs is going to help us to do that work. Stuart McMillan to be followed by Gillian Mackay Thank you, Presiding Officer. I'd like to remind the chamber that I'm the vice-chair of Moving on Invercly, the local addiction service. Can the minister indicate whether the families of people living with drug and alcohol have been involved in the design of recovery services and treatments including the implementation of the mat standards? Minister. As part of the national mission the Scottish Government provides local areas with £3 million per year to ensure that those with lived and living experience as well as their families are involved in the design and delivery of local treatment and recovery services we also provide £3.5 million per year through our whole family approach fund to enable local services to provide support to families impacted by drugs and alcohol and we need to remember that the mat standards were also developed by the drug deaths task force which benefited from the views of those with lived and living experience which included family members and experience. The mat standards are not only of the Scottish Government's making but they are actually led by those who are at their front lines on it. Those voices were also reflected in the Public Health Scotland benchmarking report on mat standards specifically including four words from people with family experience and I've also recently met with family organisations after they were empowering families on the front line conference back in March and these are families who are feeling empowered to help to drive change on behalf of their loved one and indeed on behalf of themselves and we must listen to them. Thank you Presiding Officer, we know that there are specific barriers that face women particularly those with either caring responsibilities or young families. What is the Scottish Government doing through mat standards to support those women who are going through recovery from problem substance use? The Scottish Government has committed funding through the residential rehabilitation rapid capacity programme for the development of several projects which will support women and their families through recovery in Scotland. More than £5.5 million has been committed over this parliamentary term to support the establishment of two houses at Aberlure specifically designed to support women and their children through recovery. We also have had the opening of the Upper House in Ayrshire which is specifically looking at supporting women to enter and sustain themselves in recovery with their children. We do know that women experience their own specific issues when it comes to trauma, when it comes to related issues of poverty and deprivation and we have to assure that we support women who no longer have their children with them due to issues like domestic abuse and complex trauma. I've recently met with the Simon Communities group who tell me directly that they are working towards creating a safe space for women within Glasgow City Centre because they recognise the intertwined issues round about homelessness and substance use. So women absolutely have their own needs and I'm committed to ensuring that we deliver on them. Cree Coy to be followed by Rona Mackay. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The report identifies a clear lack of support for those tackling problems with alcohol, cocaine and benzos such as fake valium, a drug which is now present in drug deaths last year. It also identifies clear implementation gaps on standards 5 to 10.  Minister. I thank Cree Coy for that question but I refute his characterisation of myself. I think that I'm going to bring my own work to experience into this role and absolutely determine that we're going to see change. I also recognise the important point that he brings up round about the new and emerging substances that we are dealing with and I know that Sue Webber also mentioned that we're seeing them within prison sentence. So wherever those new substances actually come to the fore, we have to make sure that we're responsive to them and that's why going forward Mat Standards are going to be looking at benzodiazepines, they're going to be looking at stimulants including cocaine and crack and we're actually recognising the breadth of substances that people are using. When it comes to alcohol, I'm looking forward to working with the UK Government and the alcohol treatment standards that are coming forward so we actually can make sure that we wrap them into the Mat Standards as well. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can the minister provide an update on the support being provided to establish advocacy services and local relays and to empower families to have a voice in ensuring that systems and services are non-discriminatory to put their lived experience at the heart of services? Minister. I thank Rona Mackay for that question and I know that this is something that she is very passionate about. People with lived or living experience are greatly valued in our fight against drug deaths and they're often best placed to help people who currently have problematic drug use and can be trusted by the people who want help, especially in a assertive outreach situation. We also know that across the world harm prevention models have been often driven by the grassroots and people with lived and living experience so we need to absolutely harness that. We are building on our previous work of involving people with lived and living experience for example with the drug deaths task force, the residential rehabilitation development working group and the national mission oversight group. Local services also must involve people with lived and living experience and local decision making and I'm heartened to see across the country people in that situation actually being involved with local commissioning of services. That's when you're actually having people creating the service and their local area to best reflect their needs and we must harness those people who have that very unique input to give. That concludes the ministerial statement or point of order Rachel Hamilton. Thank you, Presiding Officer. From the 1st of July approval has been granted for the use of azulox in England. This will allow farmers and land managers to use the only viable means of controlling BRAC and to mitigate Alzheimer's disease control ticks protect biodiversity, allow walkers to walk safely and allow the safe grazing of livestock. I completely understand that the emergency authorisation process is not satisfactory for everyone and that we must in the long term find a better solution but it is an incredibly important public health issue and the government's apparent lack of understanding of this process was evidenced at First Minister's questions where the First Minister potentially misled farmers, land managers and anybody who comes into contact with uncontrolled BRAC in those responses he failed to mention a number of pertinent details a meeting of the UK expert committee on pesticides attended by a Scottish Government civil servant held on 18 April where it was noted that advice from 2022 remained unchanged and as I pointed out the devolved administrations can make their own decisions about the use of azulox the Scottish Government does not have to wait for other administrations to approve this because if that was true why has England been able to approve use? Presiding Officer we are elected representatives not mind readers when asking questions to the First Minister on behalf of our constituents we expect in the very least an honest response recent developments have found that the First Minister's response to my questions on azulox not to be transparent I secure a guidance on whether the First Minister may be required to correct the record and urgently deliver a statement on behalf of the Scottish Government to ensure approval is granted on the use of azulox this year I thank the member for her point of order the content of members' contributions are generally a matter for the member where a member is aware that there may be an inaccuracy a mechanism exists whereby the record can be corrected with regards to personal statements requests can be made and of course be considered I am not entirely clear that I caught all of the member's comments I will certainly reflect on the necessary response to the member that concludes the ministerial statement and we'll move on to the next item

Yeah, I feel like it serves. I turn these cards right side up. They'll go back down with Sorry, can't lead you answering in this short season ladies and gentlemen I go to the Indians Who is everyone does they want anyone have any kind of gut feeling or picks on? Al nl rookie of the year all the major awards Cy Young MVP, I'm assuming they'll have those Even in the short season a lot of players have bonuses based on those awards too, so I would imagine that they would want those Want the baseball right as of America to do it. There's a foil Louise Castillo. I Mean like think about Louise Castillo, right? Louise Castillo Great young pitcher he can just be hot for like how many starts are you gonna get in 60 games? eight eight eight starts 60 games eight starts nine starts If it happened right ten starts, maybe You know if he just goes off goes like six and two Under two ERA eight starts, maybe seven innings of start a Strikeout maybe eight strikeouts nine strikeouts of starts 72 strikeouts He just goes bananas gets a hundred strikeouts one eight eight ERA Six and two record or seven and no record or something like that over eight starts That could be a sigh young For the NL you think they're just gonna stop it No, but I mean Say what they're gonna do if their whole clubhouse gets it I think they just fork at the season. So what if it's in the world series game seven? Yeah? I think you just lose those players. Yeah, and you just bring them.  Absolutely Oh, yeah It's just so we can we've just so we can bet on it. That's all I'm serious, you know what money Vegas is losing major sports knows this. Yeah That's highly on then then that's a that's a leak that's a big league problem like that means they mess they messed up No, but yeah, that's a big league problem, then that means they weren't quarantining safely enough All right spanning the globe Jason Mingus for the Yankees. That'll be for Adam Which is pretty much over yet and Liverpool one today. Yeah, so I mean, there's like five or six games left But it's really just for betting and champions league spots and relegation spots. That's it Although that's kind of interesting the relegation battle. Yeah, I guess if they just forfeit Resolution You either forfeit or you just keep calling up triple A players because they said they're going to have Oh, yeah, the basketball might be screwed. Yeah, but baseball they're not planning on doing a bubble, right? No You're just gonna travel around Like it's AL West plays NL West That first so it's not all bus trip So it's flights. Yeah, so we got to get to Seattle up to Darren Redding's team But I think the idea is the NL so for example NL West teams will play each other for 40 games paper doesn't ship by the way and then NL West teams also play AL West teams for 20 games so 40 and 20. I think it's kind of divided up like that This is Yeah angels daughters angels will probably be A hot ticket. Yeah, it'll be a hot ticket for the people zooming in The zoom call in fans Will certainly be a hot ticket Dodgers Dodgers Astros I'm sure will be pretty popular ratings wise Yeah, I agree with you Darren It's this is an exhibition season There is a Vidal Bruhan To 499 for the rays Robert Runkel if the if like this the Dodgers wanted do I consider it? It's like well, I consider the Dodgers one spring training They won an exhibition Exhibition season. I don't think any player will probably take it seriously either to be honest with you I don't know that was my one thing. I said hey if if the if the player if once you start mixing in Divisions like that then that's just not the games are gonna be two nothing one nothing one two It's gonna be garbage baseball.  I mean You don't you don't think you don't think pictures pictures are rusty and just hitters whose tee off They're gonna go into regular season game one with no training camp or that's gonna be those games They have a hard time doing it now like the first few weeks are rusty Yeah, and they have That's why we're not doing that football contest this year They just be fluke wings So be it it'll be saffron when the Rockies make a Cinderella run in an exhibition season crush the Dodgers hopes and dreams Kershaw blows it again Yeah, or it'll be like that my Oh god, and he wins a world series this year and everyone just like you know That's brutal. I wouldn't I don't even I don't want that for my trust like I see not to go He can only do it during pandemic season Can't ask people speaking ill of my trout You're supposedly gonna have a rough schedule this week We'll see folks Right you'd build some sort of immunity, right? Bobby wit jr Yeah, I heard Charlie blacks and that goes to Josh Coppler and the Royals Those are the only papers at chip in addition to Tony Gonslin That would be wild like a World Cup Yeah, they Yeah, I saw I saw like a BBC news special where they're like pretty much Pretty much Korea because they had SARS and mares And so they were a little more prepared and the population was more prepared on what sort of civil liberties You'd have to give up for a temporary period of time And you have to trust your government to if you don't trust your government, then that's a problem but They trust this particular government and they put things on your phone basically to track where you were so they know So you know like hey you went to Ralph's and you went to CVS and you have COVID Oh, and then they can shut down those places and test everyone there and they were so aggressive about all that that they were able to Korea's a little more democratic about it, but But but yeah, they they were able to lock areas down pretty quickly track people track cases Get people hospitalized quickly. It's a lot smaller to me at this time the entire population in Korea might be like the population of L.A. Yeah, I think that'd be kind of cool if they can't have the season then do like Right There's Aaron Shortridge. I Think there's too much money though I think each league has like a number a secret number that's like that's like we can accept this percentage of players Like it'd have to get to Think they just play elsewhere Yeah, it gets weird That would stop the season Definitely stop the season that'll be like it Like third like third base coach would pass away and then be like yep, we're done. That's it Jason Amiga's paper Jason Amiga's paper I mean, they're hoping that they're that that they have enough like cleanliness protocols to avoid that I guess that's the Right if you split sunflower seeds in the out in center field I guess Arizona cases spiked There's enough I mean, there's enough baseball stadiums in Orlando or Arizona to you Because I think that's what Fauci says.  Yeah, I think Fauci dr. Fauci was just like I'd rather have a bubble Like that's the safest way to do you contain it in one area, but What does he know just a doctor, what does he know? Rudy go bear chrome that's for Adam Richards in the Yeah Yeah, they have like I read the article yesterday like It's like they're gonna let you have 30 to start and they shave it down to 26 the roster. Yeah Yeah, I think you're supposed to be 26 This year they like added an extra spot this year, but they're gonna let you have 30 for the first week And they're cutting it down to 26 over like a couple weeks and then there's like what they call Jason start called it a taxi team That is just like a team that kind of Doesn't train with the team. So they're like completely quarantined away from the team So in case yeah, so in case there's cases they bring in like that fresh blood in There's williams asked wilfred has to deal. Sorry williams his brother That's for the nets They're saying it's happening they're moving along players and owners Time to get I know open tryouts No, it's true.  It's like 2015 So All right, here we go next box. Yeah 20 30 players down to 28 players down to the 20 down to 26 I don't know. It's gonna be wild. There's helio ramos This is 2018 That's the 499. It's one of the giants Top prospects. I think robert my hill with that And we've got a twins autograph trevor larnach That'll be for dan and the twins. There you go. He was their 20th overall hit I think he's easy. Is he up? She playing a little bit I might just bet on all the underdog teams Yeah, there's teams that are 100 or more What if every team except them gets it? I know that's the crazy thing The futures plays become interesting They're still calling it, you know, fine. I guess nb is a little different. They play the same season already Right a little more legitimate But yeah, I think we'll see the quality of playing Well basketball is going to be terrible But I think football definitely works Like like lakers like lebron's just gonna loli gag the entire way because he's just waiting for the playoffs Like the eight games is just gonna loli gag into the playoffs I don't know why they didn't skip right to the playoffs to say sorry to them. That's what they were doing Sorry to the bubble teams and then There's anything there Right I mean, I think that's a lot of people are like it's kind of It's 100% of the reason was just like, oh, can we just get zion and maybe john moran to play each other for a game or two? Josh bro 35 out of 50 gold shimmer autograph for the for the Yankees adam richards That's true I think so, yeah, New Orleans was a whole yeah, louisiana was like French colony And then then we bought it Bought it the louisiana purchase Probably one of the one of the best deals Talk about ebay deals. Yeah What a deal that was the other best real estate deal was the Was how we fleece native americans to get manhattan No, it's not as fun to talk about because at least france was a superpower.  You know fleece them to buy the by louisiana. There's josh bro again to 15 Right there's alec bong. It's supposed to be It's supposed to be a big deal for the fillies jim moran with the fillies there you go jim Is there a third overall pick back in 2018? He might get a look this year If this is an exhibition season, why not just play your entire triple-a team? Because there's not again, there's no well. Yeah, what's the point of 30 million dollar clay clayton kershaw down out there? A What did you just put your triple-a team out there and just be like All right, because they they don't have a season minor leagues don't have a season So give like your youngsters Like alec bomb Some playing time Right I'd love to see like the mangas on the Yankees Yeah, just put Jason the mangas on there If you just have Jung carlostan ahead of him and then erin judge behind him protecting him He's gonna get fastball all the time.

Well that's just networked ones I don't know I feel like Well a rod, I mean he can't be He's definitely not making more than she is now Because he's retired and only doing the eats pants Yeah, he's not raking in that kind of paycheck No, I imagine they pay him A few million dollars a year Jailer Ward, that's in the Parallel spot there Yeah, she's making Yeah, she's making all that money on Probably makes like 10, 15, 20 million dollars a picture Made in Manhattan, she probably made If you combine them, I guess they could buy Maybe, it depends on how good Their investment are Jailer Walls, the 250 And then the guy who owns the Sixer But one of the guys is the second Leaving bidder Is that Peter Alonzo? I'll save one of those That's not one of his firsts, right? We'll save that anyway Metz, just for fun Aaron Haynes This is 2072 Yeah, I would say first Oh yeah, and Darren, going back to that Cano deal, I don't know who Exactly they moved, but I know Cano Kalanik went the other way That was a sharp trade How much you make for Selena Was Jalo Selena? Yeah, about the This About this singer Tejana Singh who was killed The height of her career at Quentin Holmes, by a crazed fan I believe Cleveland Indians, Jim Morin With the Quentin Holmes Kind of a sad story, yeah She was like one of the biggest rising stars In like Latin Spanish-speaking countries And she was just about to, she was pretty close I think she had a couple hits in the US But she was like the next big crossover star Like an Enrique Iglesias or something like that She was going to be huge There's Casey Clemens There you go, that's the Clemens That's with the Blue Jays organization So one day you'll see A lineup with Clemens, Biggio, Guerrero Junior and Beshek It'll look like a 90's lineup I've been enjoying the baseball references Simulated season How's that going? Is he raking? To 4.99 I've just been checking out every night See how the Iglesias are doing I didn't realize they were running a simulated season Yeah, it's right on their homepage You just click on simulated season Are the dodgers on? I think they're the best team I don't like them You're not paying attention to that There's Seth Curry, Giants I'd like to see I'd like to see Peter Lanza win the NL MVP I think that would be good for the hobby Big market team One rookie of the year last year Keeps the hype going, wins an MVP This year Not Seth Curry, Seth Curry I had to do a double take Did it say Curry? There's Riley Adams To 200 Dodgers are 62 and 19 That's pretty good for considering a 60 game season is about to come up The Rockies are 16 and a half games back so far Angels are 46 and 34 Is that Series 1? Or Bowman from last year That's Series 1 Is that Series 2? It's a Series 2 It's a Series folks Leading the MLB in home run so far is Peter Lanza Oh nice Cody Ballinger Second Vyberg Rowe Jr. in fourth 25 home runs flat as He's got a 294 adding average and 55 That's good for the hobby That's great for the hobby At almost like a month few weeks before the half of the season He's hitting 349 with 24 home runs and 80 RBI There is Marwan Gonzalez two color patch and autograph featuring the 2018 post season where they were probably cheating there too Is this not true? That's what Major League Baseball reported I'm not saying anything that's false That's what Manfred said Do you think Albuquerque had to inspire him? I mean I don't know I think some people have to take over the jersey That's really suspicious they're not taking off the jersey He's holding it, I just watched it flip again It's got to be right? I think it's holding the chest That's the one he hit off with Chapman right? It was a clincher for the ALCS How weird was that? I was surprised We were here We were watching the game here And I remember What a home run And then it was just weird how he came around the bases and he didn't want You could just stand in your team in the World Series Do whatever you want with my jersey You've seen players go nuts They're just in their under armor shirt by the time they're doing the interview You know? Yeah, they got Gatorade Did you watch the video where before his interview with whoever the MLB Network guy is He runs downstairs Changes his shirt There's Miguel Andujar Adam Richards But then the Yankees got dinged for potentially suspicious stuff It was like a letter It was like a letter I just think everyone does it I feel like I can't be too like Definitely the teams are good Unless the dodgers just chomps and don't cheat So that's why they don't win And Kershaw just gets smoked every year It seems like it was just Red Sox Yankees' asterisks I don't know But if all those teams are doing it You gotta think those guys will have to pass them along I feel like it's more than we'd like to think I think that's why Major League Baseball was like let's get this done quickly And let's just kind of put out these weak punishments and then let's just move on I don't think he wants to set the precedent where he's just like Oh, what happens if I have to suspend my trout for life You can't just Because if my trout got forbidden I would have suspended the managers Yeah and the GMs too What's the Hinch? He was already pretty much retired He was about to be Met's manager He got hired a few weeks and then like a week later they had a fire It was like the most Met's thing ever But see that, I think that's the concern Like if Chris Bryan turns out he's like orchestrating like signal stealing I think you can punish the players the GMs and teams If you're hard it's just like prove that a player was doing it Alright Let's try to get through some of the heavier stuff first, like this tall stack right here Darren Redding, alright I'll bite You think Kershaw's on the take There's Bryce Harper You think Kershaw's like in deep with the mob And he's just throwing games He had the Astros on the series money line He's got to pay the loan sharks No, yeah He He was so genuinely distraught Like I think, yeah, I don't think he's I don't think he's on the take If you take out some of those 2017 World Series games I don't know, I think he puts a lot of pressure on himself at a time, you know at times when he really shouldn't I've said I've said before that I think I can see Kershaw not having a great postseason until he's like really old Like 39 or something like that, 40 You know And then he just relaxes and just chills out And then that's when I think all of a sudden he'll just stumble into this like vintage Kershaw performance in the World Series to clinch it What was different about this than back in the day and he'll just be like I just relax, I just didn't care I was just like I've accomplished all that I can accomplish Yeah, I mean The numbers and the optics are two different things You can probably look at the Kershaw numbers and the postseason probably aren't that bad It's like I see people go Well, Kobe Bryant clutch But then someone will be like Oh, but look at these stats Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter isn't as good as so-and-so It's a reverse for Kobe Maybe the stats don't show it But in the optics, everyone's like Last shot Kobe Bryant any day of the week Hi, Daniel, best hit of the day I don't know What do you think, folks? It's all been kind of a blur to me We've done two mixers and a bunch of other We've pulled a lot of great stuff Top's Chrome That's the thing, Darren There's opportunity too Kershaw will fail more in clutch situations because he's the guy you want in clutch situations He's going to have more chances to be in those moments because you want him in those moments There's Ty Black Rookie auto for the Giants That's going to be for Robert Myhill That's a rookie, Aaron Judge So this will be 2016 Top's Chrome Alright, so there's Aaron Judge Rookie card going to Adam Richards Might be greatable I did all those There's Aaron Judge again in that 87, 88 late 80s There's Braden Shipley Josh with the Diamondbacks 87, maybe That's what it says right there See anything you were doing? That's still Nationals edition 87 says Jay Coney I think you're right Alright, we've got some Donner's baseball right here Careful, easy Alright That 87 sets in your basement What is that worth now? Are there any big rookies in that set? Larkin, Alamago, Nickname Card And Ken Griffey Jr. Reds edition Relic going to Travis Bo Jackson Bonds, McGuire A few others But not worth anything To Mass Produce And there's Hermon Marquez For the Rockies, that's for Josh Coppeler We've got Carlos Santana Ruben Sierra isn't it? I've never happened to Ruben Sierra There's Abraham Toro To 99 That's for the Astros That's going to go to Robert Runkel Will the Thrill, Will Clark Great swing Great batting stance Curelock 349 Alright, so that was Donner's baseball Donner's baseball Alright, let's go Prison baseball Spencer Turnbull to 175 These blues Are not numbered here in 2020 So they're not The Reds aren't numbered either But the Reds reason by them, they're parallels Pretty common parallels Is that Michael Baez Yeah, my club Liverpool Winning the Premier League today Due to a loss by Manchester City Mauricio DuBone, nice Rookie Autograph for the Giants Little Opo Joe Mojo Robert Myhill Ruben Sierra have a good batting stance I don't remember his batting stance Was it kind of like this? Big leg kick?
