The final item of business today is a member's business debate on motion number 70, in the name of Claire Adamson, on child safety week 2016. This debate will be concluded without any questions being put. Would those members who wish to speak in the debate please press the request-to-speak buttons now? I call on Claire Adamson to open the debate. Ms Adamson, you have seven minutes. I am delighted to be leading this debate this evening, and I want to thank my colleagues across the chamber, many of whom are new faces, for their support to allow this debate to go ahead on child safety week, as promoted by the child accident prevention trust. I would like to welcome members of the trust and also other members of the cross-party group on accident prevention and safety awareness to the gallery this evening. We have many new faces in the chamber, we have new faces in the Presiding Officer's seat and a new minister to respond to our debate today, and I congratulate both Ms Fabiani and Ms Ewing on their appointments. What is not new is that Claire Adamson MSP is on her feet talking about safety issues in the Parliament, but I do make no apology for that minister, and I hope with your forbearance for the frequent and many responses that will be demanded of you over the next term of the Parliament. So why such persistence on my part? For me, safety, especially child safety, is a social justice issue. Unintentional injury is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity throughout life, and for children it means the leading cause of death. Recent ISD Scotland statistics show that children and adults in the most deprived areas are most likely to have an emergency admission, which is 90 per cent more likely for children and 40 per cent more likely for adults. Their most recent statistics show that one in 12 deaths from children is caused by unintentional injury and accidents. That is why I welcome the child accident prevention trust once again for the air efforts in promoting safety awareness on this week of child safety. I hope that members will take an opportunity to stop by the CAPT exhibition in the Parliament this week, and if they are very brave to take the Bittrex challenge. But there is a wealth of information there about how to support and promote child safety. The theme this year is to turn off the technology, and it highlights the dangers when parents, carers and young people are distracted by mobile technology, music and earphones. A recent survey by the child accident prevention trust shows that one in four parents admit their child that they have a near miss of a serious accident while being distracted by using a mobile phone. Two thirds, 69 per cent of parents surveyed said that they were distracted by their mobile phones, and more than three quarters confessed that they check texts and posts as soon as they come in through mobile notification systems. This is a startling statistic, and we know that this behaviour is also rubbing off on children themselves. One in six young people or children suffer an accident or a near miss like stepping out into the road without looking whilst on their mobile phones. It rises to almost one in four children and young people in the London area. That is why this week we will equip families with knowledge about the serious accident risks to children and the simple setups that they can take to prevent them. I know that the child accident prevention trust has been undertaking a number of events across Scotland, such as differing types, to visit nurseries, young people and families, to share their message through their toolkit for child accident prevention week, which is available on their website. There are many comments about why this is such an important area. Dr Clarissa Quinnell, a junior doctor from the University of Hospital Southampton, said, Accidents often happen when we are distracted and mobile phones are increasingly to blame, whether it is a teenager stepping out into traffic, while instant messaging or a baby grabbing a hot drink or biting into a liquid tab where their parents are replying to text. We have covered many of those issues on the cross-party group of accident prevention and safety awareness, and many of the professionals know only too well the devastating and life-limiting and life consequences that young people can have from burns, from things like straighteners, especially where the grab instinct of a young toddler could lead to having restriction in the use of their hand for the rest of their lives. I come to this from an experience myself in this area, and the doctor specifically said about people stepping out into traffic. In 2006, my 15-year-old niece, Mari, stepped out into traffic around the barrier at a crossing and was killed. I do not know whether she was listening to her music, I do not know whether she had her mobile phone in her hand, but I do know that all the research tells us that teenagers have immature brains, that their risk-taking development is not that of an adult and that they are vulnerable in these situations. That is why, tonight, and on every occasion that I can, I will stand here and urge parents, urge carers to heed the safety messages that we have from the likes of Cat from Rosba, who is also present here this evening, and from the great work done by the Government in the road safety messages, in the messages about home safety, in heeding, trading standards, the electrical safety council, all the people who are so expert in this area and seek to protect our young people, our children, our families from the devastating effects of unintentional injury. Thank you, Ms Adamson. I now move to the open debate speeches of four minutes, please. I call Jeremy Balfour. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It's a great honour, Deputy Presiding Officer, to stand and give my first speech to this chamber. With your forbearance, I would maybe like to return and say a few more words about the Lovians next time I'm called, because I do not want to take away from the importance of this debate and the short time that we have. I would like to congratulate Claire Adamson for securing a debate this evening for her motion on the child accident prevention trust, child safety week 2016, and also welcome people from across party groups and others here this evening. I know from reading previous reports and talking to colleagues that she has a long-standing interest in this and has a good record of raising this in the Parliament. As the motion notes, the theme of this year's safety week is turn-off technology. This theme is particularly current, given the widespread use of smartphones, iPhones and other technologies. These new technologies, as we are all aware, can be useful, enjoyable and make our lives easier. However, it is right to highlight sometimes that they can be distracting and even dangerous. This has been recognised with regard to the banning of use of phones whilst driving, and many workplaces now have guidance regarding the use of mobile phones during the working day. The campaign is useful because it draws attention to the risk of becoming distracted by technology while adults are looking after young children or young folks and focus on how avoidable accidents can be prevented. I understand that the trust published results of a survey that found that two thirds of people in Scotland said that they were distracted by their phone and that 40 per cent of young parents omitting their child was experiencing an accident on near-mids while they were using their phone. The survey also discovered that around one in eight people have suffered an accident on near-mids themselves by using their phone, such as stepping on to a road while not looking. The survey demonstrates the importance of the trust choosing to focus on technology. With regard to the findings on young people also being distracted from their safety when using phones, it confirms the importance of road safety campaigns that are aimed at them. It is welcome that the trust says that the safety week is about helping families to make informed decisions rather than wrapping up children in cotton wool. It seems that sometimes families are bombarded with hundreds of messages on how to best parent their children, whereas many of those are undoubtedly useful. It can sometimes become overwhelming and, in fact, the message gets lost in awe of the noise. Working alongside families and community groups might help to ensure that the message reaches parents and offers practical solutions. I think that we need to look at how we do car seat checking for children, how we provide first aid training for parents, how we give smart tips on how families can be empowered to look after their children. Those are important issues, sometimes difficult issues, but we need to get that message out. I thank, once again, Clare Adamson for bringing this to the chamber and congratulating the child accident prevent trust on their hard work in organising this week and wish them well today and in the future. Thank you, Presiding Officer, and I congratulate Clare Adamson on securing an early members' debate in this new session on a subject that is close to her heart. The vast majority of parents love their children unconditionally, and they would do anything in their power to try and protect them from harm. Indeed, nobody prepares you for the love you are going to feel for your child, but neither do they prepare you for the fear that comes with it. I would say, Presiding Officer, quite easily that the best day in my life was 20 years ago when my son Van was born, and I can still remember that as if it was yesterday, and when he moved up my stomach to latch on and breastfeed it was quite simply magical. Then the worry started. Was he putting on enough weight? Would I crush him in bed during the night feeding him? Would a wasp get in his pram when we went for a walk? Then he was toddling, and even with stair gates and electrical socket covers and constant watching, that's still a worry, and actually one of the worst days of my life was when he tumbled downstairs at my mum's but was thankfully unharmed. Then the school years, of course, she'd be allowed to walk on his own, she'd be allowed to cycle, go away to call Bowie outdoor centre for a whole week. Actually, that was a life-changing experience. Van came back when Chris Confident and he seemed to have grown up in a week. There were dangers there, of course, but they were minimised by staff and supervision. During those primary years, there's all sorts of dangers, you know, not least being possibility being bitten by a snake or a tarantula during Animal Man Manizou birthday party. I have to say that didn't happen and it's actually a very safe, fun and informative thing for people to do. But one big problem for me actually was trying to ensure that my son was watching age-appropriate movies and playing age-appropriate video games because too many of his parents seemed to think that, for example, Grand Theft Auto was appropriate for 12-year-olds.  I spent quite a few hours over the years at the A&E at Monklin's hospital with various breaks and sprains. So all sorts of dangers could arise and you have to hope that your child, whilst pushing the boundaries and trying to gain new experiences, will be careful and will keep safe. But unfortunately, that doesn't happen in all cases. Last Friday, I was awarded prizes at the Wayside of Trampelia RFC mid-eight and minisection dinner and we spent a minute applauding for the memory of a young player who lost his life due to drowning. So I think we can't overestimate the importance of the dangers of water being taught to children from a young age. Sadly, children living in the most deprived areas of Scotland are at greater risk of death and injury from preventable accidents. The Child Action Prevention Trust website points out that the growing up in Scotland study advises that family adversity is significantly associated with children experiencing three or more accidents requiring medical attention during the first five years of life. They also report that the professionals are keen on the fun elements of child safety week, as it really helps them to get the safety messages across effectively particularly to vulnerable families. Further, it helps to build resistance by reminding parents what they can do. Of course, as Clare Adamson pointed out, this year's theme is turn-off technology. I think that that can cover a range of dangers to be aware of in technology. For example, online threats like bullying as well, unsuitable games that I mentioned, but of course crossing roads whilst listening to music on mobile phones. I really hope that raising awareness by debates like this can help with the turn-off technology theme but also encourage projects and groups that work in deprived areas like many across central regions to sign up to child safety week and help to narrow the inequalities gap in child safety. No matter how much we want to care for and protect our children, accidents happen, but by being aware of dangers we can help to keep our kids safe and minimise the risk. Of course, as parents will always worry, my son is away just now on his first trip alone to visit his friend who is at uni in the United States and even the lowest 20. I am still as anxious as I was when he was two and I hope that he is not crossing roads with his mobile on. However, we can only hope that we have made our kids aware of obvious dangers and we can try to anticipate the threats to their health and safety. Child safety week helps parents to do that by raising awareness of serious childhood accidents and how to prevent them. I will close by once again congratulating Clare Adamson on this debate and believing that the debate can only help in that aim. Once again, congratulations to her. David Torrance I thank Clare Adamson for securing this debate in the Parliament today. There can be no keen revelation of society's soul when the way it treats its children. The quote is by Nelson Mandela that encapsulates the importance of child safety in our society. In Scotland, the small number of children do not live past their first birthday. Some of those deaths, unfortunately, are through accidents, accidents that are often preventable. Those accidents generally happen when we are disengaged, preoccupied and inattentive. We are all members of a community and we play our role whether as parents, teachers or police officers or many others to ensure that our children within our communities are safe. As community members, we hold this position of trust. To the day, I welcome the opportunity to speak about this year's theme, turn-off technology. I would first like to thank the child accident prevention trust for inviting the public to sign up for the free child safety week toolkit and providing the practical resources and country-wide events to inspire families to participate in safer practices. Accidental injury accounts for one in 12 of all childhood deaths and one in eight of all emergency hospital admissions for children. That is especially high in areas of deprivation. The toolkit is a way of encouraging communication between parents and children on the use of safer technologies. It provides both picture books on how to use technologies safely that will appeal to younger children, as well as in formal pack targeted towards adults on what to do with your child and a technologically related accident. This is especially important for children under six who are most likely at risk of accidents swallowing small subjects. By putting away our smartphones, computer tablets and keeping electrical appliances out of reach when we are around children, we can devote our full attention to our younger children to ensure our safety. Regardless of where they live, every child needs and deserves the same level of safety. I am proud of the many services related to child safety in my constituency. The Fife Child Protection Committee aims to provide a safe environment for every child. Abuse of children can take many forms, including physical neglect as a result of technology. Technology is an integral part of both parenting and child's life, whether at home, school or work. The CPC provides information on the risks that its technologies can pose to children, as well as the resources available to minimise those risks. Barnadows child and family support services are strong presence in Fife, providing eight different services ranging from a provisional family care to children's rights and mental and physical wellbeing. The Cardi area works with a range of organisations such as the Playfield Institute, Victim Support Fife, the Scottish Commissioner for Children and the Young People, the Internet Watch Foundation and NHS Fife. In the homes where children are under five are vulnerable adults. Five care services provide safety advisers to visit home, identify the areas of danger, giving advice on how to make a home more child-friendly through safer use of technology. A theme for 2016 is turn-off technology. In 2015, more people have died globally by taking selfies than by shark attacks. By simply turning off notifications, sound on smartphones when returning home from work, setting aside a limited time for computer use or ensuring electrical appliances are out of reach, parents can create a safer environment for children. That does not allow parents to develop more attention to their child, but it also teaches their children that they focus on attention and encourage family quality time in the home. Parents also set an example for young people to avoid texting and driving and using phones and cars. Most importantly, that existence of technology is destroying the art of compensation may hold some truth. Children look to us for guidance on their role models, therefore it is up to us and our communities to provide them with the images of safety. Child Safety Week is a truly educational campaign targeting both adults and children. Last year, child safety week events and activities reached over 9,000 children, young people, parents and carers across Scotland. With a greater enthusiasm this week, we can keep more children safe from accidents. In conclusion, I once again would like to thank Clare Adamson for bringing this motion before Parliament today on such an important issue. I wish this child safety week every success for its continued future, as every child deserves to live in the safest environment possible. Deputy Presiding Officer, I also add my thanks to Clare Adamson and put on record the fact that it is her dedicated and attentive service to this issue that encouraged me to join the associated cross-party group. I must say that I was shocked when I read the statistic that one in 20 of all childhood deaths in Scotland are preventable. New technology in modern society has brought with it new challenges. Whilst back in the early noughties, I only, as goofy as it sounds, had my Sonny Walkman and S Club 7 tape to contend with as a distraction. Young people now have the world at the swipe of their fingertips and Spotify holds the entire back collection of almost every hit. That is why I welcome the excellent work that the child action prevention trust has done in addressing this very modern issue through its focus on turning off technology during their designated child safety week. Being distracted by our phones is something we are all guilty of, adult or child. I am particularly now with change of rules here in this chamber. In all seriousness, I find myself often behind the wheel of my car, wondering if the pedestrian with a large cup of coffee in one hand and a phone in the other is going to look up before crossing out in front of me. Of course, as a careful driver, my foot hovers on the brake and nine times out of 10, there is no need for any action, but you do see how many people, particularly younger people, take a driver's full concentration for granted and it is a worry. That is an issue that needs to be addressed primarily through education and we cannot wait for the worst to happen to shock our young people. Although not in my constituency, I do recall quite vividly an incident of a teenager in East Ayrshire who sadly passed away in 2009 when it was thought that he became distracted by either his mobile phone or a music player. Through the excellent work of voluntary organisations, we can try and prevent instances such as those from happening to other people. Of course, child safety week is not limited just to technology and organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents have over the years done much to promote child safety measures. Through its campaigns to stop drink driving, its instrumental role in bringing about a ban on the use of handheld mobile phone devices and its introduction of a cycling proficiency test, practical solutions have gone a long way in ensuring that Scotland's young people are championed. As a former junior road safety officer at Moffat academy, I was very pleased to see the efforts of Thornhill's Wallace Hall primary school in my Dumfrieshire constituency who have recently appointed junior road safety officers from within its pupils. Those four pupils have made great efforts to keep parents and carers parking in the right places and to raise money for equipment that will encourage safe driving in and around the school premises. I would also like to highlight the efforts of a local initiative that has seen the establishment of an annual child safety event. It is called Operation Safety and it is attended by children and young people from across Dumfrieshire and Galloway. The event is run in parallel with the police, the fire and rescue service and the ambulance services. It gives pupils the opportunities to experience real-life situations in a relaxed but educating way. It is efforts such as those that have the real power to change young people's lives forever and it is exactly the sort of thing that I hope the new minister will take forward and encourage across Scotland in her role. I would like to thank again Clare Adamson for securing this debate and the many organisations who have worked very hard on this issue all year round. I now call Annabelle Ewing to wind up this debate. Minister, seven minutes please are thereabouts. Thank you Presiding Officer and I think this is the first time I've had the opportunity to speak in the chamber since your elevation and I congratulate you warmly and I hope that that gives me some brownie points going forward in the next five years. But I'd like to sincerely thank Clare Adamson for bringing this important debate to the chamber this afternoon. Clare Adamson has indeed been a strong, persistent and determined campaigner on issues concerning accident prevention and in fact it was further to her initiative that indeed the CPG on accident prevention and safety awareness was set up in 2013. I had the pleasure to attend the CPG briefly at this lunchtime at its inaugural meeting for the new parliamentary term and I was very encouraged to hear that I believe, unless I picked this up wrongly, that there were some 160 members which is really fantastic and I think it shows the importance of the work that the CPG will be dealing with. As we have heard, this week from June 6 to June 12 is the child accident prevention trust child safety week across Scotland and the rest of the UK and child safety week is a flagship community education event in Scotland each year, raising awareness of serious childhood unintentional injuries and how to prevent them. I am pleased to acknowledge that the child accident prevention trust did indeed respond to concerns raised in Scotland as to the timing of the child safety week and agreed indeed to move it from the end of June to the beginning of June to ensure that it did not clash with what tends to be a very busy end of term programme in schools here in Scotland. We have heard that child safety week does indeed generate very positive media coverage, which is useful in delivering the practical child safety messages that are intended through the campaigns. It also acts as a catalyst for hundreds of community safety events and activities, reaching literally tens of thousands of children and families across Scotland. Repeating last year's earlier timing also enables our schools and children to be more active participants in the various activities, which I think is very much to be welcomed. We have heard that this year's child safety week theme, turn off technology, offers an opportunity to raise awareness with families across the board. Today, indeed, the use of technology, especially smartphones, is universal. I think that we just have to accept that and work with it. Therefore, we know how easy it is to become distracted and particularly for children to become distracted when they are engrossed, and the focus therefore tends to diminish as far as safety issues are concerned. That was a very well-made point by Geoffrey Balfour in his first speech to the chamber. It is a very fine and consider speech, if I may say so. Unintentional injuries happen all too often when we are distracted. Indeed, in those circumstances, they can also happen very, very quickly, taking us by surprise. The child safety week initiative puts accident prevention into a context that families can relate to, and it makes starting conversations a bit easier. It helps to avoid any kind of top-down perception. Of course, it also gets the children involved in the debate, which is really important. It gets the message across, I believe, in an engaging way, in a fun way. It indicates how you can try to build basic safety into what very busy lives are. As Elaine Smith rightly said, parents will do anything to keep their children safe. Indeed, it is parents that carry out constant risk assessments—I do not know how many per day, but I am sure that it is quite a lot. They are ready for this message, and it is perhaps encouraging them to work with organisations like the child accident prevention trust to see what small changes can perhaps be made in how they go about their daily activities to protect their most precious asset, their children. As well as being a good way to engage with parents, child safety week also helps to forge long-term partnerships for unintentional injury prevention between a wide range of sectors, including early years in childcare, health, road safety, police, education, fire and rescue services, statutory services and local community organisations. A point alluded to by Oliver Mundell, who I am pleased to hear, has the experience to bring to the CPG in terms of his role as a junior traffic officer, if I have the title right. The term unintentional injuries is, I believe, the preferred term nowadays, instead of the term accidents as the latter, could perhaps be deemed to imply that events are somehow inevitable and unavoidable, and indeed, to the contrary, a high proportion of those incidents are now regarded indeed as being entirely preventable. While unintentional injuries can occur in any age group, it is, of course, the case that, among others, children are particularly vulnerable. In fact, this morning, I had the pleasure of visiting the Bright Sparks nursery in Edinburgh, where I took part in the child safety week activities. Those included the reading of one of the picture books to which David Torrance referred. It was an excellent book, Presiding Officer. It was called Stop and Go, and I had the privilege of reading that to the wee people who were there, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Indeed, one young boy pointed out to me that you should not use your phone when you cross the road, as you will not be able to see the cars. I think that that really summed up with total clarity the message that we are trying to get across. I also took the challenge, the bitrix taste test. For those of you who do not know, that is a chemical by-product that is, apparently, harmless to humans. It can be used to quote industrial household products that could present a risk to young children. For example, Claire Adamson referred to liquid tabs, which are washing machine capsules, frequently nice bright colours, which are attractive to young children. The idea is that this product is coated in bitrix, a product produced in Scotland, a chemical developed in Scotland. When they do so, the bitrix taste is so bitter that it automatically spits out the poisonous liquid. I can assure you that, having taken the test today, it is very bitter indeed. I needed some five hero chocolates afterwards to try to recover. I still have a bit of the taste, but I am pleased to hear that the trust are here all week, so I would strongly encourage all members to just get on with it and take the bitrix test. It is sending an important message, and it is a really important example of how we can adapt various products and other developments to further protect our children. I would say that the messages that are being promoted in relation to child safety week are very important ones indeed. We all have a role to play, and I, as Minister for Community Safety, am always keen to work with all members. My door is always open. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas, and I look forward to working with the members of the CPG on accident prevention and safety awareness. I thank Clare Adamson once again for bringing this important debate to the chamber in these early days. I look forward to working alongside all members to see what we can do to further improve child safety and awareness in Scotland.


Team keep it clean. What's going on? It's a engraving here with another video and in this video YouTube with this but notification thing still they still not sending out notifications for the videos, but What's new so whenever you see this? Thank you for watching whenever you get the notification. Let me know if let me know when and if you get the notification for this video Let me know if you got it on Twitter. Let me know if you get it through YouTube Let me know if you even got it period Because I know YouTube is still on that stuff And they have been for a long time now So it seems like okay. I'm pretty good still. I'm pretty good. What's up flex? What's going on uncle Phil? Yeah, they they never do send notifications. It's so annoying man.  Yeah, my boy the Sean 91. Okay. I just had to double check it was my guy the Sean He asked me he sent me a DM on Twitter He asked what kind of contract would you give CJ Mosey? What kind of contract should the Ravens offer to CJ Mosey since he is Getting ready to get signed whether it's this year next year.  They're not gonna let him go. They're not gonna let this dude leave Baltimore That is it's just not gonna happen this It's no way they let that happen. No way. No way But the Track that I think they're gonna offer CJ Mosey the one the type of contract that I think they should offer him it'll be probably to be like the Maybe the second highest I mean who what other middle linebackers out there better than CJ Mosey besides Luke Keekley Who who out there who's a better? CJ Mosey is the only one I think off the top of my head who is who is better than CJ Mosey be Luke Keekley Trying to think of anybody else She's here.  Where is he still in Seattle? Or did no, that's not the one who went to Oakland. That was Smith Malcolm Smith who went to Oakland So Bobby Wagner. I haven't heard anything about Bobby Wagner in a little minute, man Um Vontez perfect.  He's definitely a playmaker to great tackler. He knocks somebody out, too You already know that So I mean, we'll see we'll see we'll see but I mean CJ Mosey basically bottom line I can't think of many people. What's going on Trom City? And what's up? Nitro with CJ Mosey. I didn't think of many people many linebackers many people at his position that are better than him Um But he's right up there at the top. He's right up right up there with the best of the best as as a middle linebacker his problem, which is a big problem, but He his problem is covering the tight ends his cover his problem is coverage is coverage zone I think he does pretty well for I mean for the most part man Oh, no, that is a problem and I mean even in zone sometimes he struggles to but um It's something that can be worked on it's something that could be worked on it's not like it's not something that's not fixable But it's gonna take some fixing if they gonna improve that defense. But anyway, um, hopefully Hopefully our new defensive coordinator will take that into account and won't put him in positions where he'll fail And he'll put them in more positions to succeed. But anyway with CJ Mosey. I Think the contract that should be offered to him You can't and it's it's tricky because you know how these guys get paid and whatnot But it's it's gonna be tough for them because you can't offer somebody you can't be like, okay Well, we're gonna pay you like you're the the third best linebacker in that fail You can't do that. You can't do that. You guys if he's one of the best Then you got to pay him like he is the best you have to um, that's how it goes for quarterbacks That's how it goes because it ain't gonna be a quarterback goes.  We'll do that. They can't do that They can't they can't Or have feel about push your team versus Drake. Well, it's over according to J Prince since that dude is apparently the guy that caused all the shots I had never heard of J Prince until This whole Drake and push your teeth thing Drake's I Not you know what I didn't even hear push your teeth original song. You know that I didn't even look to the original song Infrared um, I did hit Drake's the I heard his this thought is okay It was decent, but then when uh, when I heard push your T. I said, oh, he got him. Oh, he got him He got him good And with Drake, it's like man Drake is uh, you got Not he didn't get exposed. Well, he did get it.   I mean use you a rap battle.  So that was that but Drake it's nothing for him to win. He's obviously the big it this rap battle can only help push Your T it can't help Drake at all. It can't it can't help Drake at all Cuz push your T is the one that the artist that's obviously Low a lot lower than Drake a lot less popular than Drake But now with him this and Drake and that this getting so much publicity it only helps his album sales It only helps his career. It only helps him out. There's no winning in this for Drake is none He already got he already got killed on that this track if he comes back If it's not something that just that just would not come out of the park and absolutely just destroy push your T I'm sorry for getting off subject. Well, he we had to cover But if it's not something that would absolutely just destroy push your T and just ruin his career Then there's there's no coming back and there's no winner for Drake is is none But with Drake already being the start being on top of the game already I Mean he he doesn't he doesn't need this rap battle to do anything for him. He doesn't need it Worst that could happen somebody say oh Drake lost that rap battle to push your T and he didn't respond That's it. It's not gonna hurt his album sales.  It's not gonna stop none of that So, I mean, yeah, he lost a battle, but the war He had already won the war before this battle had even started. So Drake ain't he ain't got nothing to lose But anyway back to CJ Mosey you can't offer somebody They have to pay him they got to make him probably the highest paid middle line back in the league They're probably gonna have to do that now will they wait till next year to do it when he becomes a free agent That's what it's looking like. I'm not sure exactly how much cap room the Ravens have right now, but It's we haven't been hearing anything about them talking to CJ Mosey and to his agent about a deal but I just I Think he's gonna be the highest paid linebacker when he when he does get paid And CJ Mosey has been some very consistent with us. He has been somebody that always shows up He has been somebody that's been a solid tackler again, you know, he struggles in coverage, but CJ Mosey has been He's been a pretty pretty good Raven and he started off in his rookie year, man He started off killing in his rookie year He was somebody you could if you watch Raven's game You could easily fall in love with CJ Mosey man because this dude came on a team and he made his mark And he has continued to make his mark He's somebody that oh, he can't get off blocks can't cover. He definitely can't cover block shedding I'm getting off the blocks. He does that decently ain't the best. He ain't like throwing people to the side anything like that But no CJ Mosey he and he he blitzes He blitzes pretty decently too, man So I think he'll definitely be give be the be the number one paid linebacker now next year If they do it this year fine if they do it next year fine, too If they do it this year it would be better for them and their pockets because if they do it next year He's only gonna have to make a lot more money So we'll see how that works out So I'm curious to see what's going to go down I and again what I was saying earlier that I haven't heard anything about the Ravens talking to CJ Mosey about a contract extension But enough times the Ravens are pretty private about stuff like this I don't even know if y'all can see me right now because of the Sun But yeah, the Ravens are pretty private about stuff like this enough times Besides with Joe Flacco and now you know, I mean it depends on the player They talked publicly about with Brandon Williams publicly with Joe Flacco publicly Ray Rice So you know what I guess when they sign in some people they can be private about it But when they extending people they usually pretty public about it So maybe the fact that they haven't said anything about the CJ Mosey thing means that it's not happening right now And it's not it's just not getting talked about right now And they're not gonna work on an extension form right now and they know that they have them this year And they're gonna let them play this year And big shout out to CJ Mosey for even showing up because he could have held out and he could have forced their hand Because it ain't gonna be they weren't that they were definitely not gonna be like oh, man You know what CJ Mosey? He's sitting out. Forget him. We got players that could take your spot No, they don't they do not they do not they're not they wouldn't get by without CJ Mosey They definitely wouldn't so he could have forced their hand he could have easily forced their hand and Been like, you know what I'm sitting out because I know they need me and they don't want to sign me to a deal You know what forget this season when he obviously wouldn't do that But he could be like, you know what I ain't going to training camp I ain't going to minicamp I ain't going to none of that stuff. I ain't going to OTA. He's ain't going to none of that stuff Until they give me a deal but he ain't do that so He fumbled against their skins at the goal line. Okay, let's go back to that So I want to ask you what games he blew you say that he fumbled against the Redskins at the goal line Which he did I think you got hurt that game too. But anyway with that game That with that not even that game that season it goes It's the same season for the Timmy Jernigan thing too. I think what Timmy Jernigan recovered a fumble and then he fumbled With that game the offense was doing absolutely nothing nothing The app the offense was doing absolutely nothing and they were like that pretty much all year long Offense was garbage. So why would why wouldn't somebody on defense? Who caught a pick or was it a pick or fumble either way? Why wouldn't somebody who was on defense who forced to turn over and recovered the ball? Why wouldn't they try to score if they were that close? I mean, I yes, he the ball got knocked out fumbled at the one But he was just he fumbled it because he was trying to make a play because the offense was doing nothing That offense was doing nothing at all That offense had been so bad that year 100 years after that too, but that year in particular they they were just so garbage and it was so sad to watch That's why when when he did that you couldn't follow you couldn't be mad at CJ Mosey He didn't cost the game had the offense been scoring then defense wouldn't even have been in that position to where It's it's a big deal if they fumbled the ball out of the back of the end zone It so yeah, he was just trying to make a play I will never follow the man for trying to make a play that if the guy does something stupid Okay, that's one thing But if he's just trying to make a play for a team where there are no plays being made. Oh, no Definitely wouldn't be mad at him for that never would be never have been and and won't be because that that wouldn't make any sense The offense is doing nothing CJ Mosey stretches and stretches the ball out to try to make a play. I can't be mad at him for that How did he give up Brown made a play order? What we talking about? What's going on five gums Raven's whole team is Tratable in fact, what about the stealers game where he gave up at the goal line Which which was still is game you talking about the December 25th, then Antonio Brown play Antonio Brown man man him Eric Wettel and uh, who somebody said it was Jarrah Powers was the third guy You talking about that play or something different? If you talking about that play, you just got outstriped. I don't know how they got it. They got uh How they got pushed but that's all three of I don't know how three


As I make this video, I respectfully acknowledge that I am standing on the unceded traditional territory of the Comox First Nation. And now let's take a look at Trace. Trace is a verb that a lot of people may not know about in J. It's really useful. Now, it's sort of sitting in the background, but you have to load it first. So this is the first step in order to start playing with Trace.  So what's Trace going to do? Well, let's take a look at an example. So I'm going to put quotes around squaring a list. So now Trace is going to tell me that as it went through that sentence that I gave it, the first rule that it hit was the monadic verb rule. It says, I've got a monadic verb. So it applied the monadic verb rule. It said the power, the squaring verb is the verb I'm dealing with. And this is the list that it's applying to and that's the result. So it's really simple, but it's going to go through the parsing that J does and do it in the order that J does it. And that's not always the order that you expect. But let's just take a look and see what some of the simple parts of speech look like. So first of all, obviously we've done a monadic verb. Let's do a diadic verb. So we're adding one, two, three to one, two, three. And it says, okay, the first rule that I hit that applies is the diadic rule. And so the diadic rule says, on one side I've got one noun. On the other side I've got another noun. In the middle I've got a verb. I apply the diadic rule and I get two, four, six is my result. So Trace is actually showing you how J parses something. Let's do adverbs next. So I'll do an adverb this way. And here's what an adverb would look like. Slightly different than what we were doing with verbs. So the first rule it sees that it can apply is the adverb rule. So it skips over this whole argument here and says, oh, first rule I can reapply is an adverb rule. And that adverb rule says, here's my verb, here's my adverb, and here's the new verb that's created. So now I've got this new verb. Then it looks at this new verb in relation to the argument and it says, oh, okay, with this new verb and this argument I'm dealing with a monadic verb. And it applies that, ends up with the result of six. You can do the same thing with the conjunctions, of course. So let's try a conjunction here. I'm going to have ad squaring. So when I do this, of course the first rule it sees is going to skip over this part. It's going to go into right into here and it's going to say, ah, that ad tells me there's a conjunction. There's the ad. On either side there's having and there's squaring and I'm going to make this verb. I look at that verb and I say in the next step the first thing that applies will be the monadic verb and this whole verb will be applied monadically. So it's going to square each of these things and then it's going to halve them to get this result. You can even do assignment. So you're not held back in this. You can do something like this assignment. It's going to do the same thing it did before except after some of the conjunction, made its verb, applied the monadic verb. The next rule it sees after that is the is rule. And that is rule says now I'm going to take what's on the right side of the assignment and I'm going to apply it to the left side of the assignment. So it's kind of like a dyadic thing but you're using an assignment or a copula in the center. So and then the result of course will be this. Now where it can get kind of useful. Let's take a look at something here. I am going to change that to times. I will change this to squared.  I'm not going to do assignment. It just takes up extra space. And so in my mind, I'll tell you what I had in mind when I wrote this. I'll tell you right now it's wrong. But what I had in my mind was I'm going to insert multiplication between each of these to get six and then I'm going to square it. But as it goes through this process, the parser in J is going to do what it's supposed to do. Not necessarily what I want it to do but what it's supposed to do. What it does first is it goes along this string and the first time it has something that matches is going to be this conjunction. And it's going to take the conjunction between squaring and multiplying. It's going to make that into a verb. So it's put those together right off the bat. Next step it looks it says oh there's an adverb. I'm going to take this verb with this insert adverb. Now I'm going to make this into a verb. So now we're sitting with what turns out to be a monadic verb because when it comes to look at this, it's only got one argument so it's got to be a monadic verb, it's going to take this whole thing and it's going to insert it between each of these numbers. So if you insert this verb in between two and three, you get two times three squared which is 36. Okay 36 is there but I've got to do it again between one and the result of 36. So I've got one times 36 squared 1296. So it's giving me what it's supposed to do but maybe not what I was asking for. How do I get what I was asking for? This is where parentheses come into play and you see that you need parentheses when you're dealing with conjunctions with other operators because they tend to be greedy to the left. They always try and grab to the left so you have to separate them from the left. When you're dealing with other verbs and things, you're kind of working from right to left. But in the case of operators like conjunctions and adverbs, you've got to separate them because they always want to zing to their left. So when I do this, now I've got starting with trace but the first step it takes is not a conjunction like it did above here. This is what it did first. It did the whole thing as a conjunction. It's not going to do it that way this time. Now it's going to first look at the multiplication and the insert. It's going to make this into a verb. Then it's going to say, oh, by the way, use parentheses. Yeah, I know I did that on purpose. And now the next step is it's going to do a conjunction between at and the squaring and the insert of the multiplied. So now it's going to create this verb, which when it gets down here it's going to say it's only got one argument so it's got to be a monadic verb. And now I've got 1 times 2 times 3 in there. And then I'm applying squared to get 36. So trace is pretty useful. The one thing that is kind of a pain with it is you're trying to insert inside a string. So if you're dealing with string characters, so I'll just do something really simple like this, I have to double quote around a string because I've got a string within a string. When I hit trace on this, it's again a really simple thing, of course. It's doing from to to from ABC. So it's a dyadic verb. It's got to is one argument and ABC is the other argument. You can see here it's got single quotes because that's actually what I'm putting in. That's why I had to double quote it here because I'm inside quotes. But when it actually gets to working with it, it's single quotes. And it's selecting from ABC to give me C. And that's my result. So trace is a really interesting, useful verb to have in your arsenal. All you need just to have access to it is load trace. But if you don't use load trace, you type in trace and you'll get undeclared or undefined or something like that because it doesn't know what trace is. You have to load it first. So hopefully that helps you. And that's a little bit of J.


Yeah, let's just say I don't care if you see who I am or what I look like If that's the basis for relating to what I'm about to say then you can click off because it won't matter. Thank you My name is Kwame and I'm from Ghana I'm a freelance filmmaker and photographer who uses this medium and others to share my experiences and the things that I learned while living in a crowd and Honestly, I have planned a completely different video for this week celebrating my journey of becoming a professional freelancer and making it to six months but It just didn't feel right No with all that's going on around the world right now that I've come and just post my video like business as usual and just go No It didn't show right Since the world is so big on race mistreatment and segregation of humans based on where they come from I believe I'm very qualified to share my feelings here because I automatically belong to the group. That's the topic of discussion at the moment a topic of discussion That is seeing no change or I see no change for hundreds of years Because of the color of my skin I've had firsthand experience with unfair treatment Judgment and other subtle demeaning encounters from people who have been preconditioned to things of humans that look like me It makes me anxious Actually, it makes me angry to think that my children may have to go through this too To feel unwelcome and to have to defend their very existence because of how they look That my daughter may have it even worse because she happens to be a certain gender too So, yeah This is just to tell you that at the moment. There's a lot more important things than my celebration vlog and While this is going on in America amidst the corona pandemic that has hit the world you think that humans would just Chill and get along, you know fight the pandemic and just save ourselves but no 11 grown-ass men had raped and killed a woman in a church And just like the racism and injustice this isn't the first Many have lost so much, but alas no one listens. So, yeah The world is fucked up right now and as much as most of these things may be happening far away from you as a person You are connected to it by virtue of the fact that you are a human being So you may not be able to save the day with your pre-programmed privilege But here's something you can do See wrong for what it is Acknowledge it and speak against it See unfair and unjust treatment for what it is And if you happen to be in a position to stand up for something right, please don't hold back also Educate yourself about other people Educate yourself about subtle practices that go unnoticed because they don't directly affect you And if you happen to be very well informed about it Speak up you could be the bridge to better understanding for someone else Judgment stems from ignorance Empathy comes from knowing The knowledge of the human condition When we're all living on equal terms as humans with the right to exist in Peace on this earth, then maybe we can address our peculiar flaws as a people in society Until then All that matters at this moment is ending prejudice marginalization, abuse, murder Unfair treatment of people because they happen to be of a certain color or gender So yeah, this is my message for today We're all connected because we're all human beings and that's what you should remember You exist among people You can't be unbothered by all this Trees people kindly speak up against what's wrong Show up and speak against any injustice of any kind Offer comfort to those who need it It doesn't take away your humanity.


Team keep it clean. DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens. It's still alive. It's still alive right now Because on the Pat McAfee show, and you know, hey Pat McAfee plugged in man This dude don't win from a punner being a punner To being plugged in having his own show dropping breaking news being on WrestleMania Just doing everything so shout out to Pat McAfee, but on his show which features Pac-Man Jones on there They will they will listen a bunch of teams and different possibilities and destinations for one DeAndre Hopkins They talked about oh if he will go to the Chiefs a lot of people will be upset Because like Patrick Holmes and DeAndre Hopkins like that's a cheat code. They don't make that They just won a Super Bowl with with who MVS with Juju Smith shoots to McCall heart. So if you add DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs filthy filthy but Pat McAfee he was asking he asked Pac-Man Jones like hey, what what what are your sources telling you and Pac-Man Jones said hey added all them teams that you mentioned you forgot one you forgot one and That's the Ravens. He says the source is telling him that it could maybe still happen. It could still happen DeAndre Hopkins to the Baltimore Ravens is Still alive and I love it and I told y'all like look man This would be a dream for me, but and I know some people shoot it down immediately. Oh, that's not gonna happen We just paid old they'll back them junior, baby Well, guess what baby Ravens likes for nagging some money this year, right? Do it one more time Do it one more time great Raven stick your chest out and do it one more time.  Go get DeAndre Hopkins man see this Reminds me of Obviously with this whole Lamar contract thing with the Jalen Hurst contract thing There's been so much back and forth in comparing contrasts and this and that and how many contracts was all of my offer How many did he turn down? Obviously he was offered multiple contracts because Ravens are not gonna be like hey Lamar Yeah, there you go.  We tried. No, it's gonna be back and forth back and forth back and forth but there's been a lot of Dialogue discourse discussion about what Lamar Jackson was offered to what Jalen Hurts was offering and whatnot now Obviously Jalen got his money now. So a lot of people looking at Lamar sideways like hey, you got offered a really good deal, but a Big difference with those two with their two situations One big similarity They were both questioned a lot They were both questioned a lot on what they could do how they could perform What type of success they could have in the NFL? They were both questioned a whole lot and They even came to came into the league and even played for you and then there was still a little bit of questions here and there but The Philadelphia Eagles they did everything that they could do to get those questions answered They like really made it happen You saw what they did with Devonte Smith drafted in my but then they weren't like You know, they weren't just like, you know what? We're not just gonna give you one of your friends That you knew from before that you know from Kyle We're not just gonna give you one of your friends, but we're gonna give you an established Veteran wide receiver that's not past his prime We're gonna give you an established guy When AJ Brown now it did come out. I didn't even notice or if I did know it may I didn't remember because y'all know My memory is bad Especially with the Steelers trading for Alan Robinson. I didn't know that the Eagles they were close to signing Alan Robinson But Then they end up something end up happening and then they end up just going for AJ Brown Obviously it worked out and who knows what could have happened if Alan Robinson would have went there, but anyway with AJ Brown he was an immediate difference maker and He just continued everything that he was doing over there with the Titans He just continued doing it with the Eagles and maybe even better because he had even more around him He helped Devonte Smith be better He helped Alice gotta be better. He helped them. They're running back big better, but he helped most of all Jalen Hurts be better And that has been the biggest difference because I know there's been a lot of people comparing like hey Jalen Hurts just made it to the Super Bowl. Well, oh Lamar don't deserve that money. Look what Jalen Hurts just did And I get that but at the same time I don't Because the Ravens have never loaded up like that on offense for Lamar Jackson the way that Jalen Hurts has been loaded up for So that's why we continue to say Whenever we have the discussion about wide receivers, especially what what they did with old debt great great job Great job.  They should have been did this stuff long time ago But it is what it is. We're here now We can't be stuck on the past but the past has a lot to do with the present But anyway, if they can get the Andre Hopkins That could change so much for the better So much for the better and again another conversation that people will continue to have and I get it trust me I do because it is a real good Conversation that needs to be had what about Rashad Bateman? How would Rashad Bateman feel cuz I know a lot of people feel like a if the Ravens get the Andre Hopkins There's some people feel like that Rashad Bateman could be out Rashad Bateman could be traded Especially after his whole thing On air the console on March 2nd on the infamous Lamar Jackson trade request day the private trade request day Some people that feel like that Rashad Bateman would either ask to be to be exported out or he would be escorted out By trade via trade not kicked out of the building well technically kicked out of the building But I would hope that that wouldn't happen. But I mean y'all know how stuff goes in this day and age in the league But to have three you receive was like that like a Deontre Hopkins. Oh, they're back at Amherst y'all payment. Oh My goodness now another thing to think about. Yeah, somebody brought it up yesterday in the live stream How many footballs would there be to go around? That's a lot of targets for I mean, that's a Not a lot was a lot of targets, but it's only one football per play What about that? You can't keep everybody happy. Can you? well, I mean What are they trying to do? Are they trying to break receiving records? I'm sure they wouldn't mind breaking receiving records, especially. Oh, they'll beckham June You will have his contract set up But what about the Andre Hopkins? What does he want to do? He already said hey, I don't need to pay raise. I need to pay raise that does not mean that he don't want to get paid Now you say I don't need to pay raise. I just want to go somewhere. Well, I want to win I just want to go somewhere. I can win So I mean This has been a weak link on the Ravens for a long time the Y receiving position. I Will love if the Ravens just supercharged this thing this season Literally supercharged it because that's exactly what this would be if they got Hopkins and obviously got Odell and kept Bateman, too Please and you still got nothing I go or two still got doing they for now, too But it's almost like you almost feel at least me you almost feel like it's not everybody would end up staying Not everybody would end up staying. I would want everybody at stake. I will I will all the receipts y'all know me But I almost feel like somebody would be the odd man out Cuz No, let's see. Well, hopefully we'll see But yeah, man, it is exciting to think about It's exciting to think about the potential. It's exciting to think about the possibility. It's exciting to think about just that like Cuz it's still real It's still real Like I try to talk myself out of it I have people when when they send me a message or something. Oh, do you really think the Andre Hopkins to the Ravens could happen? Say anything possible to the impossible no more. Do I think it's likely to happen? I don't but keep hearing all this stuff man and I would love if this thing ended like the Odell Beckham, Junior thing because it's the same thing kind of soda, right? Because with Odell Beckham, Junior and then obviously this thing went on for almost a year But with all their back on Junior kept hearing so Ravens interested. Oh Ravens went to his workout Oh Ravens keeping in contact with Odell Beckham, Junior. Oh Ravens this Ravens that and After so long is finally like case closed Ravens got Odell Beckham, Junior. Yes, let's go but now recently to Remember when the three receivers that were named at the Ravens were checking in checking in on Was Odell Beckham, Junior calling sudden the Andre Hopkins and then I remember Pac-Man a while back on the the Pat McAfee show He listed five teams that were interested in the Andre Hopkins One of them was the Baltimore Ravens and now again He's back on there saying it again that the Andre Hopkins to the Ravens. It could still happen so I I'm like it's like you want to think like oh I want it to happen, but I don't think it's gonna happen But that's how I felt about Odell And you see what they did with that Ravens. Hey feel free to shock me feel free to surprise feel free have at it I would love it Love it and it would do so much for your quarterback to Mike Lombardi. I think he was on the Pat McAfee show And he doubled down on what he said on his podcast. He's like, yeah, yeah Lamar asked for the Andre Hopkins and Odell Beckham, Junior He asked for both of them. He doubled down on it. I'm like, yeah, there you go, Mike Lombardi Stanton told down on that. I respect it and I love it. I hope that is true So I just hope that now I hope that the Ravens they can deliver on this one Because this would be one of the best deliveries That we ever got It will be a great package and I was talking to a couple of people today And I know people ask a what how could this work with the cap? How could they fit the Andre Hopkins under the cap? It's a couple of different ways now Obviously, there's a lot of restructuring you could do you don't want to do that, but a You want to go all in and you really want you really want to get the other guy You may have to do that just in case Lamar don't sign yet You may have to do that You gave you gave some of the Andre Hopkins money to Odell Beckham, Junior, but it's all good man When there's a wheel there is certainly a way Well one of those ways is Lamar Jackson Because if they can come to an a contract extension with him depending on how it's structured that could open up a lot of money That's not the only way. That's a big way, but that's not the only way But that would certainly lower that uh, what it's like a 32 mil cap here right now That they could get that lower, but again, you know, you obviously know what Lamar you got to come right You got to come right or don't come at all cuz Lamar just obviously ain't accepting anything He turned down different deals and whatnot and we still here now. We're still waiting on what's gonna happen next And I it's unfortunate. I've seen a lot of people just they turn that back on Lamar and I think people I think their Frustration is sort of misplaced and then there's some people that's just they they title them off Unfortunately, some people that's like, oh, I'm over Lamar. I'm over there But I think it's a lot of those people.  Hey, what's up, baby? What's going on, man? How is everything? What did you call me for? What like what's wrong with you? I want to talk to you right now. Bam Well, not bam.   I accidentally took it out on you So I had some misplaced anger. That's on me my fault That's what I think is happening with a lot of Ravens fans They have a misplaced anger towards Lamar because of the situation and somebody said it best recently, um Not sure if it was in the comment section of a video. I think it was in the last video Somebody talked about if you were at your job Would you devalue yourself? Would you just take any old raise that they would give you?  I'm ready to see my money So what's up? And they give you something you're like, oh, okay No that I need more than that I think if if we would put ourselves in the shoes of a lot of the players because I know like fans I know how it could be. I see how it could be every day. We talked to Ravens fans every day We talked to NFL fans every single day That's why I get it But I think if more fans put themselves in the shoes of a player and really try to relate To the players and really try to understand more Then I think they would have more empathy and more sympathy For the players and I know some people like empathy sympathy for these guys are making hundred million little dollars I'm not having any empathy with them, man So I get it. They are on a much different tax bracket and pay scaled in most of us But that's that's the best I could do. That's why on here we try to Put it in terms where people can relate to to different situations that A player may be going through a team may be going through. We try to liken it to something that could happen in our lives That's more normal for us So But it is what it is man. So we'll see what happens Ravens, you know, I'm rooting for you. Happy to get the Andre Hopkins Root hey do it man. Do it do it And with the mom rooting for him. Have you to get his bread too, man Just hoping all this stuff can work out. That'd be beautiful. Everything could just work yourself out and patience is Key here, but I mean obviously, but if everything could just work yourself out and then Next year at this time it would be beautiful if we were talking about how The Raven wild that was a great season Ravens won the Super Bowl Like they finally did this day in the third And they won the Super Bowl my goodness That would be great because that would mean when it came to being in the playoffs Ravens will never get put out
