"nci" Discussed on Native America Calling
"This is native America calling, I'm Sean spruce. During this year's state of Indonesia's address by the National Congress of American Indians, members of the youth commission gave their address and asked leaders of ended country to give them a voice and include them in community advocacy, policy change, and storytelling. Native leadership at the highest levels are working to make a place for young people to express their voices and make their priorities known. Today we'll hear from some of those voices and hear the priorities of those who will take us into the future. How do you see native youth growing into leaders for you and your people? What message would you give to future leaders of native America? We're at one 809 9 6 two 8 four 8. That's also one 809 9 native. Joining us now from Ithaca, New York is janae Logan. She's a co president of the National Congress of American Indians youth commission and a junior at Cornell University. She's dear clan from the Seneca nation of Indians. Welcomed a native America calling. Hi, now it's scandal. Thank you for having me. And joining us for mesa Arizona is Caleb dash. He's a co president of the NCA youth commission and production assistant with unity, the united national Indian tribal youth. He's a member of the salt river pima Maricopa Indian community, Caleb, welcome to native America calling as well. Hey, what's up? Not much. I'm looking forward to this discussion for sure. And you know, let's go ahead and start with you. Tell us a little bit more about the youth commission, who are some of the other commission members. Reelected this past November. So we're still fairly new in getting our bearings. But the co presence consists of me and Caleb are co vice presidents are Charlie earth and Isaiah tumor and then our public relations officer is Sharon bessette and our secretary is Madison Brown. Two of us each come from or those pairs of from the same nation. So we have three nations represented on these commissions. And what are some of the big issues that the commission is focusing on right now? Yeah, so a lot of the work we're doing has kind of been led on from the last commission to our biggest thing is really just promoting youth engagement and leadership right now we're discussing establishing a travel scholarship for students to attend the NTA conferences, a lot of what we do at our congresses as leadership development. We have sessions on policy educating on issues in Indian country networking, professional development, higher education, et cetera, et cetera, the list goes on. And so we really think that it's important that kids can come to these conferences and see what opportunities they have. Also we're talking about establishing a coalition for native youth and through webinars or town halls. But we're also tuning into a couple of policy issues that I'm sure we'll get to, but consist of ICWA and climate change and just really the whole broad spectrum of issues that everyone is concerned with that we think they use need to have a voice on. Now, in addition to the officers, how many other members, how large is the youth commission at NCI? How many people?

"Stacy Bond met with us yesterday at the board. NCI's board in NIH. And she shared with us something very personal at the beginning of her presentation about her, and it was intended to convey the love that she has for each and every one of us that sit at that table as a leader to the National Congress of American Indians, and it was in that presentation I realized that not only do we have partner national organizations, we have family. Every person that works within our national organizations are advocates are attorneys are allies. They are family, our regional organizations that do the hard work on the ground and on the front lines with each and every tribe within their region. They are our family, we together have this opportunity and you have my word that this year. Coalition building and collective effort will be at the very top of NCA's agenda. No doubt that challenges and confrontations that I've described will continue. Just as they have for every generation of tribal leadership, back when NCAA was founded in 1944, we were formed in full on defense against a powerful movement to terminate tribal nations. When all hope seemed to be gone, our founders focused on their duty to provide for the next 7 generations they were as we are determined to defend tribe of sovereignty. Our legacy of resilience and achievement is what my dear friend and mentor Billy Frank junior had in mind when he used to talk about staying the course. And so as proud as I am of NCI, that will soon be celebrating our 80th anniversary and as proud as I am of our history and our achievements, let us look forward and right here in this moment I want to speak directly to the next generation of leaders our youth. The problems of our time can not be solved in a lifetime. We are up against challenges that will spend generations. However, much of what we do and much of what we plan for today, you are the ones who will make those plans a reality. Stay the course and make it your own,

"Surprise significantly in Q four Q one and next year The economy is back from the brink but not completely out of the Woods Bloomberg daybreak Europe on Bloomberg radio Good morning from London I'm Anna Edwards you're listening to daybreak here at live on London DAB digital radio welcome to the program everybody Thursday morning 8 o'clock European equity markets then just opening up for the second to last day of the trading week So the stock 600 is open Maybe he's down by a tenth of a percent The footsie 100 are a little weaker straight out of the gates than have been anticipated fairly flat this morning The khaki arms is down by a tenth of a percent the ibex down by two tenths of a percent at U.S. futures point to the upside interesting and yesterday's session we saw U.S. equity markets selling off on the back of the U.S. CPI data more than 30 year high on U.S. consumer inflation That in particular spook technology shares and we saw that sector selling down we saw the NASDAQ weaker So today in futures then NASDAQ futures look as if they will rebound a little bit so up by three tenths of 1% on NASDAQ features emails and down features a little flatter The session through Asia was digesting the inflation data but fairly unmoved by it at the aggregate level Yes we had some moves to the upside in Hong Kong but NCI Asia Pacific overall was fairly flat Just checking a few other assets for you we've got the oil price moving a little bit higher today but that follows a drop yesterday So we're down at 82 71 on the Brent price We saw a surprise build up in inventories in the United States that was weighing on the oil price although it has stabilized a little bit We saw a surge in gold prices as a result of that inflation coming in stronger forcing many people to ask do I need more inflation protection Therefore some people seek gold and we saw gold surgeon continues to move a little bit higher up by half a percent this morning at 1858 a Troy ounce At the EWS tenure 1.54% no cash trading in the treasury's market today because there's a U.S. holiday So we'll wait for tomorrow for that but we did see a big pick up in those yields as a result of that higher inflation print And the dollar the dollar is stronger near a one year high the dollar index gains a little more this morning up by two tenths of 1% And I just wanted to circle back and have a look at why we are a little bit weaker across the European equity picture than maybe had been anticipated energy stocks selling off once again today So down by 1.3% so even though we've seen some stabilization and actually now oil prices just retreating attach We are seeing them weakness in energy stocks this morning travel and leisure and retail also a touch weaker So that's a look at where we are on the overall data picture Let's get to the stocks that we're watching this morning Bloomberg's Lisa fam joins me here in the London studio to take us through some of the headlines and let's start then with burberry because I was really interested to see what we were going to hear In particular around China Lisa because just yesterday ferragamo's warning around COVID resurgence in China took the edge of many of the luxury names Yeah and it's also worth pointing out that Gucci's recent results also show that they had suffered from recent virus restrictions in China Now the luxury stocks they did sell off in August because of concern about China's common prosperity ambitions And so this has been weighing on the sector with burberry the shares have been trending up since about mid September going into today's results The company said today that comparable store sales during the quarter rose 6% But analysts are actually being expecting a gain of 8% So the fact that the shares have been trending up a little bit going into the results it means that there might be some pressure on beverage shares today The stock hasn't yet opened yet Yeah absolutely So closed on my screen as well Let's get to one stock that has opened and it's a fairly big mover not a company I was familiar with An online furniture retailer west wing but German listed Yeah so I've been writing a lot about this company because essentially they were one of the winners during the lockdown because given that everyone was stuck at home and that had to rely on online shopping to buy things the stock did really really well last year What's happened this year though is that the retailer has been hurt by supply chain disruptions as well as increased costs for C freight containers And westmin actually sees these issues lasting at least into the first half of 2022 So the company now sees their adjusted ebitda margin at the lower end of its previously guided range of 8% to 10% And they also said that there's a risk of a revision to its profit guidance as well So the shares are currently down 10% Okay so we've got that one on the move We're still waiting for an opening price on burberry Let's get to the battery maker at Vasa What's the story here Yeah so that supplies batteries to apples So the company has been heavily affected by the supply chain issues that we're being talking a lot about on this program The company said that revenue fell slightly from a year earlier and they also see a slower increase in adjusted ebitda than revenue growth in the next two years So vater shares had slumped early this month after cutting its guidance They had noted that supply chain issues and delays to the start of new projects in the third quarter had resulted in reduced revenue growth And so with today's results today it hasn't helped the shares too much The stock is currently down 3.6% Okay So no opening price on burpee We'll look for that We'll bring it to listeners as soon as we get it then Thank you very much Lisa Bloomberg Lisa fam Joining us here in our London studio with the stocks that we are watching Let's get to some of our top stories this morning Inflation is on a tear The U.S. consumer price index rose at its fastest pace in 31 years in the month of October it was up 6.2% on a year over year basis fueled by continuing supply chain disruptions and higher food and energy prices and is not just the United States In 24 hours of data the world's other three largest economies released inflation figures and China's PPI is at the highest since the early 90s We brought you that story yesterday fresh this morning Japan announced its PPI is at its highest since the early 1980s and German CPI is at its highest since the early 1990s this question around how transitory inflation pressures will prove to be as we work our way through supply chains still really key for markets Sticking with the macro picture and back to the United States the pickup in inflation may put pressure on the fed to respond sooner rather than later that certainly something the market was pricing in after that inflation print yesterday But San Francisco fed chief at Mary day pushed back against that idea Well I think right now would be premature to start changing our calculations about raising rates We certainly dated a really we're still focused on as COVID goes so goes the economy and the higher inflation readings certainly have my attention Daily also repeated her acknowledgment that inflation is eye popping but said the Central Bank also has a responsibility to foster job growth This is a transitory period That's what we believe That's what I think When I look out at the data but it's directly related to COVID And as quicker we get through COVID the better off we're going to be as an economy Meanwhile GMO cofounder Jeremy grantham says investors faith in the fed has become so unshakable that not even the highest inflation in three decades is enough to cause a sell off in assets This time the faith in the fed is so complete that when they say it's temporary we believe it The fed in my opinion hasn't done a thing right since Paul Volcker who was brilliant All of the others have encouraged a chain series of really dangerous asset bubbles Grantham says in order to explain today's market you have to assume 100% ignoring of rising inflation which is quite remarkable That's his view Let's get back to UK stories and just to tell you that we do have an opening price on burberry now.

"So you're homa ir score is actually point seven one which is really great so i think i would not be too concerned few like i would do any of the things i said about continuing to monitor but those are my thoughts. Oh and then the. Hbo would see because we didn't define it. It is a marker of blood sugar levels over three or four months and that's because the turnover of the red blood cells is about that length so it shows overall level of guy. -cation of your blood cells from blood sugar in your bloodstream. And i always forget what the numbers i think. It was really interesting to end. This made me. I find this fascinating and i find it concerning. Did you know that in twenty. I don't know when it was reading book. They raised the level of hba one. C for diabetes. Like an entire point. Nine now that I just find it concerning that. We adjust our standards to a disease population. Like why so we have like a standard population. But because of the rise of diabetes and metabolic issues. I don't know that it's helpful to raise the standard. Well it's like. I was talking to somebody yesterday. Recording the podcast intermittent fasting stories and she was talking about her fasted insulin levels. She discussed her number and she said that she was told by dr that the range from i can't remember something under five. I can't remember the number that he said to twenty was normal. I'm like well you know. Twenty might be normal but it's not healthy for insulin. Yeah but that's what i'm saying. Is you know we. We have all these in the same with you. Know a one c like you were just talking about that. They've raised it to be normal and not normal. Yeah it's just it's very concerning. That's why we love on here we've worked with. Nci tracker before and what they do is they do test but they look at it by their ideal ranges rather than the conventional ranges. Which i think is so important there so much. Difference between twenty and five for example within the solit- you know like if you got an influx of nineteen that ain't good you know it might be normal but certainly not optimal but i think it was that it i think the had an increased from like five point five to six point five for diabetes. I wonder what the reasoning is is that they want to diagnose fewer people officially i mean why would they. What would be the motivation for doing that. Insurance companies doing it for some reason. Yeah like is it because because the reason you could say is oh well. More people have higher levels. So that's what's normal. So that's the standard but to change the definition of diabetes. I dunno i. it's a good question. Yeah i would like to know why that'd be interesting. Today's episode is brought to you by green chef. The number one meal kit for eating.

We learn a lot from officers when people come in talk about their use cases what they're building challenges they're seeing one of the ones we've learned through through off salaries was auto. Id is actually using singer to load and integrate with active directory or not actor. I think it's google directory but actually using it for account maintenance with the account objects being the target of el pipeline. So i think that's really interesting and we're also finding more people who are using this for the kind of the reverse t. o. r. e. l. t. g. process of actually publishing to like salesforce or the like and so those are really novel.

Their coach percy harbin with both minnesota. Nci laviska should not be used as that kind of player. And i think he's going to be somebody. People are going to be very excited about fantasy especially if they don't make any big moves that receiver in the draft. Let's get to number two. We know it seemed like at this point. We know it's going to be zach wilson. We know he's going to the jets after this sam. Darnold trade. zack wilson. I mean it's why it's kind of funny when people say all next year's draft class isn't very good at quarterback they always say that but then there's always a guy always the guy that wilson was competing for the job with two other guys at byu. Now he's going to be the number two overall pick now. I know he's mobile. Joe but how much does he really run like. How people running yardage. He's not going to give the justin fields level running yards. Now keep this in mind ross. In his three years at byu seventy-five rush attempts. Sixty seven rush attempts seventy rush attempts. However as you well know ross rush attempts exuding sacks or counted as russia in college. So you can't really look at a quarterback's rushing production and say oh well he.

The Impact of Australian High Performance Computing in the Coming decade
"Joining us in the podcast. Today we have professor shawn smith that director of national computational infrastructure and see i and he's also a professor or computation of nanno matera science and technology at australian national university. Professor smith is also a fellow of the royal australian chemical institute a fellow american is association for the advancement of science a fellow of the institute of chemical engineers and he will be sharing with us the highlights of high performance computing at nci. Thank you professor for joining us in the podcast. Today i thought we kick off by taking a look at the evolution and development in australia. Research backed by high performance computing and data infrastructure which plays a pivotal role in national research. But also have wide ranging economic and social impacts. I'm so for example as you pointed out in your presentation at supercomputing asia Looking at the year two thousand twenty the events challenging for many with the pandemic but particularly so for australia with the bushfire which i thought i very salient. Examples of where policymakers and help provide as neat fayza reliable information to get a sense of what is yet to come to better manage the situation but beyond these examples is also cancer research. Physics et cetera. So for our listeners. Can you tell us more about you know audi australia. Research are backed. By high performance. Computing infrastructure have evolved over the decades. You certainly are one constructive way to approach that question. Jain may be. If if i summarize the way in which australia to tijuana one phones compute facilities have evolved over the past decade which gives a flavor of how that the sick to hebron australia has developed in the major demise signs that have been really key in driving it forwards so we have to tier one facilities in australia One is the australian at the australian national university campus. Here in canberra the other one is the posey supercomputing center in person west australia. So both of these centers were set up in their initial in the current model as it were nearly a decade ago and when nci was stood up in its current form. The australian national university has long long history of computing. But the carrots. Nci was put in place around about twenty eleven two thousand twelve and we build a new data center on campus and put in the previous supercomputing facility which was called ryan now when i was set up with financial input from the federal government. They then we're really looking for a degree of leverage of their investment And so the federal contributions to were helped to facilitate the standing up of the big facility and the big shane And the new data center per se and they contribute a certain amount of our national expenses. But i asked us dan to negotiate the larger part of operating expenses. With am i just stike holders. And in the case of nci. This was done by substantial collaboration with four major organizations. I was the australian national university. Which is our organizational host. It was the csi. Giovanni australia and the bureau of meteorology so the one university into three big government agencies collaborated in a way that allowed to build out and develop and the common thread across those three. Big agencies was really climate weather simulation and geospatial science earth sciences and so for example the the great majority of large-scale climate modeling research is done at nci. And it's done. In collaboration between the bureau of meteorology the csi and the university sector which has some substantial activity also in that mind so nci became if you will the collaborative sandpit that these organizations could actually work together on very large common data sets in degenerate very large data. It's through the simulation work and the the other component of that was with geoscience australia. They are the secretaries for the international agreements which bring labs scout satellite imaging data four alpine out of the globe down to australia and nci was tasked to work with Jason social strata. To figure out how to host is enormous data sets and make them there in available findable so forth and accessible and utilize -able

"Experts increasingly concerned about a pervasive expanding network of ai powered cameras that can be leveraged by both private residents and law enforcement. And here's a quote from Dave mass director of variations at eff he told motherboard quote ale pr and this is automatic license plate reading l. Pr is a mass surveillance technology. It does not discriminate between people who are involved in crimes and people who are innocent just collects data on everyone with the assumption that maybe one day you might commit a crime unquote such a system like others before it brings up questions. Is it biased. In how and where hardwares placed is the technology disproportionately us against cars belonging to black people and other people of color is the data. Eventually abused and here. We have a quote from chris Gillyard a research fellow with the technology and social change research project at harvard kennedy school's sharpton center and he says quote. My concern much as with the ring. Is that these technologies enable a massively expanded surveillance network that in most cases has little to no oversight or accountability. On top of that. I worry it creates another vector for neighborhoods and by extension law enforcement to surveil black folks who are just going about their business. We saw this recently when the lapd requested ring video footage of black lives matter protesters unquote and here's a quote from wessler who we have had on the show. He's with the aclu. And he says quote as the supreme court has repeatedly explained police access to everyone's electrically collected location history raises serious privacy concerns license plate. Readers can create precise record of where we go and win in overtime can reveal a wealth of sensitive information about our lies. It has no comfort when these devices are being deployed and supposedly piecemeal fashion by scattered private users by providing police with an internet platform to easily stitch together information from dozens or hundreds of license plate readers without getting a search warrant from a judge. Companies like flock threatened to enable pervasive tracking of our activities and movements unquote. The hardware can be connected to the national crime information center or the nci c. which automatically alerts law enforcement when the camera detect someone in that database. The nci includes information on stolen vehicles immigration. Violators missing persons sex offenders.

As i'm going to be doing for all articles that i read going forward so you can always go back and see the original. Because in many cases. I edit these or cut them short. This particular article was huge. But this is certainly enough to give you an idea of what's going on and why it's important. It used to be that your license plates were red and other places like going through a toll booth out sometimes automated toll booth and that's how they knew who to send the bill to but you know even toll roads as you're going through dropping coins and a basket or handing bills to to a person have cameras and they will often you know..

Dr. Richard A. Van Etten: Cancer
"Please welcome to the show Dr Rick van how you doing. Thank you very much Andrew and Brittany I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be able to come and talk to your talk your listeners today. Yeah. Well, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us. So we're GONNA be talking about obviously cancer and how you can prevent cancer do your best to prevent it. But as I mentioned in the Intro, most likely someone knows someone who's had cancer or they've had cancer themselves even it's pretty it seems like it's touches a lot of people but can you kind of tell me how many people does cancer impact on a yearly basis? Well. Thank you for the question Andrew. The lifetime risk of getting cancer is approaching thirty eight or thirty, nine percent. So more than one in three Americans will get cancer during their lifetime. So that explains what you said that basically almost everybody is either been personally. Involved with cancer knows a close family member or a loved one that's been stricken by cancer. So some of the statistics nationwide in the United States, there's about one point seven million people diagnosed each year with cancer. And they'll be about unfortunately six hundred thousand Americans will die every year of cancer. Here in Orange County it's interesting that cancer has overtaken cart diseases, the number one killer, and as soon gonNA happen nationwide. So a very very. Prevalent disease what kind of has led to what's led to that trajectory? Why is that happening? Well, actually the the the death rate from cancer has been falling and it's been falling significantly over the past fifteen or twenty years, which is a success basically for the research that's gone into it through the National Cancer Institute and other mechanisms. But the fact that cancer is now the number one killer has actually also reflected progress in cardiovascular disease. So doing which used to be the number one killer. So we're doing a better job at preventing. Heart disease through the things that you know about treatment of the risk factors like high lipids, blood pressure, diabetes et CETERA. Right? Interesting. Okay. All right. So we got some work to do on the cancer and Kinda catch up. And, that generally, like I mentioned usually happens through education funding, which we'll talk about in a little bit What types of cancers are the most prevalent today? I know that you specialize are a believe in like blood cancers by what are the most prevalent that people run into so we can talk both about incidents, which is the new diagnosis that we have each year and prevalence, which is the number of people living with the disease at any given time. But the top four in both categories are pretty similar. So there's breast cancer which obviously predominantly affects women but also can affect men. Then there's lung cancer there's prostate cancer which obviously is a male cancer and the last one is colorectal cancer. Those are the big four. Close on their heels are diseases like skin cancer and melanoma that's particularly relevant for Orange County where we have two hundred and eight, hundred, ninety days per year rate. And after that come some blood cancers that I specialize in, which is mainly things like leukemia lymphoma and Myeloma Okay. What kind of leads to these types of cancers occurring out of those top four that you mentioned, what? What's the biggest contributor to people getting? Is it? Is it just genetics you got bad genes or something in your lifestyle or in your the world around you I guess causing it. So they're. Probably, equal contributions both from genetics and from lifestyle. Okay. When I say genetics I mean the cancer is principally in the opinion of a lot of primarily a genetic disease in the cancer cells have acquired mutations that contribute to their malignant or cancerous phenotype, their ability to grow and attack the body. Most of those mutations are acquired in other words they happened just within the cancer cell and they're not inherited. So you don't get them from your mother or your father. Now there are exceptions there are well defined cancer susceptibility syndromes the most the one that may be most familiar to your listeners is the bracket jeans Brca which segregating families particularly people, of Ashkenazi, Jewish descent that are inherited either from your mother or your father, and greatly increase your risk for developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer so that the risk for women who doesn't ever bracken gene mutation is about one about eleven percent or one in nine during your lifetime. If you inherit one of these genes, it's virtually almost everybody will get breast cancer ninety percent risk over your lifetime. So, this cancer susceptibility syndromes are very important the need. For instance when there's a new cancer diagnosis, you need to take a careful family history and in some cases be referred to a genetic counselor to determine whether testing family members is indicated. Yeah. Well, that's interesting that you bring that up because my wife actually we went through that process, and so she was found her mother had breast cancer and through that process they found out, she had the bracket gene Brac to and then and so my wife decided because they kind of give you choice like do you want to get screened? Do you not like you kind of have? Do you want to know more or or like not and stay naive to it I guess and so what I've discovered, we went through it and is interesting out of the split my wife got it and her sister didn't so the fifty, fifty there and. It. Seems like. It's I think my opinion is it's good to know because now they're just more aggressively screening her and is that typically the case when you find out about something like that, you're more your screened even more regularly than the average person should be. That's right. A change basically changes the surveillance. In it not to make it more complicated. But there are some genes like the broncos where the penetrates which means that the chance of actually getting breast cancer. If you have the have, the mutation is very high I think there it's pretty straightforward to decide whether to get screened. Right. There are other mutations that can be inherited that don't increase the risk that much increase it above the background, but it's not nearly as high and there it's more complicated to try to decide what to do about that. But. My advice to your listeners is to seek the advice of a NCI cancer center in a a qualified genetic counselor. Those are the people best qualified to help guide you through that decision making process right? Right. When you're going through like you said they ramp up the screening process if you had the genetic mutation but how does how did we get to discovering these genetic mutations I? It sounds like you kind of have somewhat of a background like you discovered or help discover this protein that was causing leukemia right and. How does that process even work? How do we make these discoveries? How do you make these? Discovery I was involved in is one of these acquired mutations not inherited, but it came about from studies done many many years ago actually nineteen sixty that showed that patients with this particular type of leukemia had an abnormal chromosome in their blood cells. And when to make a very long story short when that was tracked down, it was shown that the chromosome was actually an a Barrett. That was acquired in these cancer cells that lead to the expression of this abnormal protein. And that protein. Hasn't is an enzyme which means that it has a ability to catalyze chemical reactions. Okay and that particular reaction stimulated the growth of those blood cancer cells. So. That led a drug company, which is today is no artis to develop us a drug a small molecule inhibited the action of that protein. And that That drug which has the trade name GLIVEC revolutionized the treatment of that leukemia so that in the past everybody died of this leukemia, unless you had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. Today everybody takes a drug likely. And most people go into remission and when they do, they have normal age adjusted life expectancy. That's example would that's Therapy likely that can do to cancer right? So does this all come from these discoveries? Does it come from just? Tons of data over decades like this one you're saying, it came from research started in the sixties and this didn't have until the early nineties. Is that right or wealth the the The structure of the protein was discovered. I'm saying Circa Nineteen, eighty-four which I got involved. The drug development efforts took place shortly thereafter I'm and the was FDA approved in two thousand one. So it's been on the market now for almost nineteen years I and there are many many other efforts in other cancers that are parallel parallel that. The thing that's happened today is because of our new technology and the genomics and the ability to determine, for instance, the genome sequence very quickly that's accelerated the progress that we can make. So what took forty years from sixty two to the drug being approved now can be done in a couple of years. Wow. Everything's happening much much faster. That's awesome. That's great news for those of US living right now.

Fuelling Change
"From the moment that I came out of college and I came out of college into the Black, power movement. I knew that I wanted to devote my life to try to advance racial justice. Achieve Racial Justice and I've had a lot of different opportunities to do that. So my whole adult life has been devoted to this, but it's only been in recent years that I have come to the conclusion that so many of the systems and attitudes that hold us back as a nation in terms of being able to be fully inclusive. We're never set up for that goal and reform efforts two years ago, policy link had one of its summits, and the theme was our power, our future, our nation. We were trying to make the point in two thousand eighteen. Really did have the power to try to achieve what we wanted. That the future will be determined by what happens to the very people who are being left behind and that we need to stop standing on the side of the nation. Mentally thinking about what it needs to do NCI. Selves as leaders to do it. And my opening talk was called radical imagination fueling change, and really was trying to set a tone that says. It is within our imaginations to visualize what it is. We need and we need to use that as our North Star. So that even if we're just doing reform efforts, we know that the reform is not winning. It has to be a step in the direction of annual star. and to turn things upside down in terms of how we think about change. Standing that we will not achieve health through the provision of healthcare. It's essential but insufficient. We need healthy communities. We need healthy environments. We need access to food. We need incomes that allow people to be able to live with dignity to understand. Providing healthcare doesn't achieve wellbeing. That, we can't solve our housing problems just by building more housing. We need to rethink housing because we have a Lotta. Empty housing around with the structure of how we think about housing allows for Empty Housing and homelessness to exist side by side. We need to begin to think of housing as a human right, and also lifted up the notion that we cannot arrest ourselves to safety that police are not what we need to build safe communities. We need to think about getting rid of police and asking ourselves. What do we need for the safety that we? We want. It takes trust it takes familiarity. It takes a whole lot of things that have nothing to do with policing in so back in two thousand eighteen I never expected this. Those ideas would now be and center so when we started the podcast a year ago, little less, we just picked up on those things that we were moving forward, and it has been really interesting to find the advocates all across the country, and to tell their stories, and to lift up their solutions, and now seeing them out there on the streets of the nation leading change. It's amazing to see. That transformation and maybe kind of recount. The the history of why do we have police I think we'll take? Police grinded just saying we're not GONNA arrest our way to safety. Why do we even have a police force? When I decided to do the podcast on police abolition? Educate myself and what I discovered. Is that police in the south started to catch runaway slaves? That's how they developed. Developed that police in the northeast started to hold down the demands and activities of labor in the southwest. It was the Texas Rangers Oh, and we know what they were doing. And yet we have taken these systems that were all about contain and control, and we tried to turn it into the mechanism, but community safety and wellbeing, and it's ridiculous. What we really need to ask is what. What do we want and then think about who can do it? We know that we have a mental health problem that keeps presenting itself to the police over half of the police killings in the nation or of people who have mental health problems, and yet we're not turn to mental health professionals to deal with that, which trained police how to respond when there's a mental health emergency and. And then not getting it obviously that we know that young people don't have enough to do, and we give police money for things like midnight, basketball and other kind of sports programs for young people, and yet we have neighborhood associations. We have boys and girls clubs. We have organizations that are there to engage young people who are strapped for resources and going out of business every day. When we think about domestic violence, a lot of domestic violence requires a number of mentions that have nothing to do with policing and so moving from understanding. Why did this institution develop in the first place to asking? Is this the institution for the goals that we now in modern day see that we need and thinking about using our budgets so that we are really as municipalities and other regions investing the resources where they really you're gonNA. Make the difference that lead to wellbeing that to safety,

Hi Christie welcome to climate cast. Hypothe- thank you for having me. You recently wrote about this for the nonprofit climate news website. Nci what kind of emotions are patients feeling with climate change? Many young people are expressing concern about whether to have children what their careers might even look like. I'll also talk with people who are experiencing a sense of loss so noticing. Some of the environmental changes in the places where they use to Spend time enjoy nature. Climate change is really a magnifying of health equity and health disparities. So those are some of the things that people of color are coming in expressing concerns about. Cristiano WANTS REMEMBER READING SOMEWHERE. That action cures fear can acting to face. Your climate fears have positive benefits. Yes absolutely I love that quote. A very common reaction to fear is avoidance. This is kind of a typical survival response but one of the problems with fat is does exacerbate our fear and our anxiety by teaching us at the only way we can cope with it is is running away from it one of the things that. I am frequently helping people with is developing some courage and the emotional stamina to face their fear so that they can turn something previously was may be experienced as a threat that needed to be avoided or escaped from into a challenge that is capable of being faced. I love that you talk about choosing hope. How can we do that and make it feel productive in real? So it's more than just a temporary attitude. One of the key pieces to being able to choose hope as I acknowledging and making space for those difficult emotional experiences viewing them as inherently valuable and useful data points that. Tell us that. There's something happening that matters to us. Kristie my job. I feel like at least I'm doing the work on climate. I think it helps me deal with my apprehensions. What other tools our advice? Can you give our listeners? For dealing with climate change or other emotions they might be feeling right now. Identify what is within your control acknowledged. What's within your control? And maybe even start thinking creatively about how you define. What's in your control? So for example if if you need to develop skills to manage something effectively think about how something might be able to come within your realm of control or influence by cultivating those skills or developing that resource capacity. Self-care is key which means getting good sleep getting physical activity eating healthy setting limits on the amount of information. That's coming in and being very self aware and adjusting your approach based on that awareness

Katrina Adams on making tough decisions
"Hear from former pro and former US TA president Katrina Adams. Okay Katrina welcomes the tennis dot Com. Podcast it is an honor to have you joining us today thank you. I'm happy to be here kind of want to start with the biggest the biggest news these days which is the kernel virus and how it's affecting all of us in large scale form and everyday forman in nine. Oh you mentioned that you are on self isolation. What is life like for you right now? It's pretty boring right now Being by myself in my apartment or been since Sunday night You know it's it's pretty. It's pretty scary as to what's happened in America and across the world But I was In close contact with someone who contractor buyer at a and Doubt on Monday or Tuesday that they were actually contaminated or or a heck and track with it And I've been in isolation fence fortunately I had cancelled a trip to Switzerland for my ICS board meeting Chose to come to New York and just do it by phone. Prior to any knowledge of of what has what has transpired so actually. I've been home since Sunday. Night was up at three. Am on Monday on the call. You know to Switzerland and for the next two days and and so it's just been. It's been quiet around here. I know you have a bunch of different job roles especially when I was trying to figure out and research your life story but one that stands out to me in this time right now and how things have gone and tennis in the past week is a VP at the ITF. So were you involved in that. Big Decision to cancel tournaments. Well we did have just mentioned. We had a board meeting That was in Switzerland on Monday. Tuesday Wednesday of which I participated by phone and the world of tennis is is Kinda turned upside down as the world of sport has so you know following a Lotta. The statements Indian Wells was the first tournament too close and Miami and then both tours made statements of Stopping event We made the decision to postpone a Fed Cup finals which is To be played in Budapest for the first time the second week of April. That's postponed to a later date and from an ICS perspective with The other many other hundreds of events that they operate around the world all of those cease as well in conjunction with The ATP and the WPA towards so I know that Obviously Italy is in just a state of crisis We have to mention that and I know China's one of the first places to be affected by it but here in America. Did you ever feel like no chance? It can be that bad like. Were you ever thinking like no ways is really going to actually affect the sports world or were you in a sense of? Oh My Gosh. This is really about to happen. And a bunch of tournaments are about to be cancelled and a lot of people's lives are about to be affected. Well you know what I'm an optimist and always think for the pie you think for the best but I'm also a realist And I'm literal so when this really started to unfold you have to think that it was only a matter of time that the sports world was affected. I think initially you know what we were looking at was the upcoming March madness events when they started saying that people shouldn't be in you know bigger crowds excetera and then you started looking at the NBA and then you realize that it affected more than just those arenas that affected all arena and it wasn't so much Just about fans and attendance. But what about the athletes and the players? They're the ones that are breeding all over each other. You know every second of the game almost And you have to think about their health and their well being and not just them the other thing about families who they're going home to At night so you know it's a trickle or a ripple effect on everyone and I think you know the decisions that have been made in the sports world as drastic As they may be. I think it's the best thing that has happened to. At least protect those athletes and their families and to at least to be owners of slowing down the transmission of Kobe. Nineteen so the three of us have something in common. We all played college tennis. And I know that there's obviously bigger storylines and not even talking about sports way beyond that but NCAA has been hugely affected. All these seniors are are not gonNA get their chance to end their year. So you know. I think you guys are both phenomenal. College players arena. Nci AS Katrina. You want and say doubles titles. I mean can you guys imagine having your senior year taken away from you not because of injury but because of something that's so far beyond your control and it's something that we haven't really talked about. Well I mean listen. It's it's disappointing an athlete You know who was collegiate athlete and champion as you mentioned to not See these young athletes be able to fulfill their dreams or at least you know play in their national championships. No matter what sports they may be an you know. I was supposed to call the tennis. Men's and women's tendency AA Championships Alonside Sam Gore And of course disappointed that we won't be going to tell the Oklahoma state this year To call the championships. Hopefully it'll be back You know in session in twenty one back at the USC campus in Orlando Twenty one but you know I just feel for the athletes. I filter the Seniors. Even more so those that you know this is their last hands to go to the to the dance to say perhaps win a national title and and have that on their resume for the rest of their life I know what it feels. Like to be referred to as a champion and you know my heart goes out to not to see athletes but the coaches the institutions and the families. You know everyone who's pour their heart and soul into getting these athletes to the best position possible

Do you know anything about cheerleading. I'm sure had mentioned my great uncle. The electronic scoreboard was installed at a basketball court. I used to go to games and watch him keep score the cheerleaders. Were pretty good but nothing is as exciting as watching your uncle. Flip those numbers. That's real spirit. I I can appreciate that but I think you're going to really feel the spirit when we learn more about cheerleading. Now whatever okay. I say we should find out about our contestants shall we? Who might that be? I know tell us are human child contestant as an eight year old who loves everything about baseball. I'm Talkin every billy leave of it lily are you. I'm good welcome to pass on. We're so happy that you're here. You love everything about baseball. You like watching it or playing it. That's cool duva favorite baseball team. Yes the New York mets.

We'll we want to know some more fun facts about you lilly. But we're GONNA do it the way we do it on pants on fire playing two truths and a lie. Okay so you're gonNA tell us three facts about yourself. Two of those facts will be true. One will be ally and we have to figure out which one is the lie. Are you ready? Yeah Excellent. What are your three facts on so first one is my dreams go to West Point West Point? I know absolutely everything about Harry Potter. Threes my grandparents live in Spain Spain. No not space stain.

Now trying to come back and say she knows everything about Harry Potter. That's like a lot of that. One is the law. That's fair. I think there's one things she doesn't know about. Maybe so lily. Which one of those things is a lie Is My grandparents live Spain? So you're saying you know everything about Harry Potter. Yes okay. Let's see. Do you know what Harry Potter does? Yeah he's a wizard. She does everything she does. Okay Lisa can we get some welcome music? For OUR CHEER EXPERTS. Two four six eight khurda appreciate. I want to hear about it if it's me otherwise I don't talk about it. I just appreciate me. Our first expert is Allison Williams. Allison introduce yourself to Palo Lily. I am a CO owner of an All Star cheerleading program in Brooklyn New York. Pay Thank you very much and our second expert is Gerry mccrae Jerry. Please introduce yourself to lily. Lilly how are you? I'm Cheri and competitive cheer choreographer at Various High Schools in New York and Connecticut and they used to cheerleader twenty Peac University. Two thousand five to two thousand nine go Queenie plus enough. Let's see those are some cheerful sounds? Lisa well I always feel cheerful. It's I'd say time toads. We are going to put our experts on the hot seat while they answered lillies questions Lisa. Who should we put on the hot seat? I Jerry Maguire. Because he's going to show us the money. His name is not Jerry Maguire. But I like your thinking anyway I fine. Blue Okay Lily. What question do you have for Jerry to start? Tell me about what you do. What does a typical day in your job? Look like sure so. I've been hired to come up with competitive cheer routines at various high schools. So I go. I work with the students. I kind of envisioned the whole routine. I teach it to them and we go through all the motions and until we're ready to go. Put it into competitions clue. Yeah that's my job to. That's basically what I do. I see. Allison how did cheerleading become a sport? That's an excellent question. So initially cheerleading began in the UK in the mid eighteen hundreds and then traveled over to the US and at first there were college students who were in the audience watching a football game and the athletes weren't doing well during the football game and so the audience decided that they were going to get together and they were going to encourage their fellow athletes from there the sport grew throughout the US and then officially became competitive sport in the nineteen eighties. It's also spread throughout the entire world since then cool. This is for you. Jerry what would you say is the worst injury seen on the Mat So one time I did see a basket. Toss gone wrong person. Just didn't catch the flyer so she fell down. Hit the person who was on the base that they both kind of hit their head on the ground and Yeah so just to head. Injuries is the worst I saw. Because you know you need your you need your brain to be intact or two. That are they okay. They're they're still with us. That's good yes where I don't see bring them. He said they were with us. It's just an expression that means they're non dead. Humans are obsessed with. Who's alive who is dead going? What are you robots obsessed with? Good question we have you ever had something called Zucchini tuition. So mean Okay Lily. Quick change the subject away from that. Vegeta- this one's for both of you. Can you tell me about the jump? The herkie Chanda Hurricane Joe. Okay who wants to take that question? I'll start okay. So there was a fellow named Lauren Turkey and he founded the NCI the national cheerleading association. And he also invented the pom pom so they named jump after him because everyone loves him and he big in the world of cheerleading. And it's just this fantasy cheerleading jumping with some nice arches in aerials well to add onto that Lawrence her car. The reason why the jump was specific named after him because he attempted to do a split jump and instead bent his leg and as a result he came up with this jump. That did not exist. Which is why was named after him the hurricane.
Native America Calling
The State of Indian Nations
"You're tuned into native America calling. I'm Tara Gatewood from misled a Pueblo. We're listening to the State of Indian nations address today a day New National Congress of American Indians President fond sharp from the Cornell nation gave the speech earlier today in the first part of her speech. We heard her disgust threats to native nations including challenges to tribal decision making and the Indian Child Welfare. ACT WE PICK UP. We're sharp left off in addition to these existential threats. We have threats caused by federal inaction and indifference difference take severe chronic underfunding of the federal government's trust in treaty obligations to tribal nations powerfully illustrated in the recent broken promises MRS report. This report is a trebling. Glimpse into the pervasive impacts that federal budget shortfalls have on the health and vibrancy of tribal tribal communities. It comes fifteen years after another. Congressional report came to the exact same conclusion that the United States is failing to hold its end. The Grand Covenant is struck with tribal nations in exchange for hundreds of millions of acres of tribal lands invaluable resources they contain needless interruptions and delays in federal funding also pose a significant threat the two thousand nineteen government shutdown. The longest longest in history is the latest example of an incompetent federal budget process jeopardizing travel nations ability to provide vital services to our citizens from law enforcement to healthcare to emergency response and just once in the last twenty two years has congress passed a fiscal budget on time time an inexcusable sign of a broken system in addition tribal nations must compete with one another for federal grant programs a gross gross violation of the federal government's trust entreaty responsibilities to us. Meanwhile Congress left Indian country completely out of the two thousand seventeen seventeen tax cuts and jobs at despite years of hill advocacy by NCI and our partners in promoting Indian countries tax reform priorities priorities. That will clearly boost tribal efforts to build sustainable economies and grow local job opportunities. Congress has also neglected its responsibility sponsor ability by failing to pass legislation that reaffirms the inherent right of tribal governments to regulate Labor permanently reauthorized. The remarkably effective special diabetes program for Indians. reauthorize is the native American Housing and self determination act to curb Indian countries severe housing shortages. And take long overdue steps to curtail the missing and murdered indigenous women epidemic. That is ravaging so many of our communities and families but federal connection and indifference is perhaps no more destructive than with a current failure of the administration and some in Congress to address press the rapidly accelerating impacts of climate change or even acknowledged that it exists as chief. Seattle went said what we do to the earth we do to ourselves. The damage human beings have done and continue to do to this planet disrupts every facet of tribal life from our subsistence life. Ways to our ceremonies to our continued stewardship of the natural world. My nation of quilt is already feeling the brunt as ocean shen sea level rise are forcing us to permanently. Relocate are two main villages to higher ground when it comes to climate change and sustaining humanity humanity on this planet. We have no time left to lose and yet our government is nowhere to be found finally tribal nations face threats from an administration ministration that appears committed to obstructing the express will of Congress take the Indian Trust Asset Reform Act while ratified nearly four four years ago the administration has refused to implement key provisions notably the creation of an under secretary for Indian affairs to protect an advanced it's tribal interests within the Department of Interior and the establishment through a meaningful dialogue with Indian country of trust asset management. Plans eagerly. Disgraceful is the inner agency. Mo Way the administration develop to implement the new four seven seven tribal workforce development law that that law is specifically passed to expand the successful program and play self-determination squarely at the heart of Indian country workforce development yet the MOH was purposefully written to ignore the law by allowing federal agencies to veto individual programs that tribal nations have every right to include in their four four seven seven plans. A dynamic law is explicitly designed to stop despite these darkening storm clouds tribal nations continue to shine brightly. We do so much with so little because our people count on us to find a way no matter what we devise advise innovative solutions to the greatest challenges facing our communities. Because that's what governments do from the sled of the Pueblo of a sled. A WHO's innovative partnership with the State of New Mexico is reducing arrest in incarceration rates among Pueblo youth by providing them culturally appropriate diversionary generic services services designed to set them on the right path to the Miami tribe of Oklahoma. WHO's Miami Awakening Program is bringing back the tribes language wage from the brink of extinction and the strengthening of its people's cultural identity and kinship ties with one another in the process to the court? Elaine Elaine tribe. In Idaho whose education pipeline approach identifies and fill gaps in the systems of academic support for students which has dramatically atakli decrease the tribes highschool dropout rate and increase. The percentage of tribal members pursuing college degrees. Tribal nations are doing amazing things things and we could do so much more. If the federal government would finally once and for all abide by the timeless pack it made with a so long ago to create the country that we share today. We have upheld. Our end of this arrangement is long past time. The United States upheld its end of the agreement meant
Native America Calling
The State of Indian Nations
"This is native America calling. I'm Tara Gate. Would climate change the federal government's trust responsibility and congressional action on violence against women. Child Welfare and tribal sovereignty are among the issues tackled today in fond sharps first State of the Indian nations address. She is the president of the National Congress of American Indians. She didn't hold back in her address. Press criticizing federal elected leaders for what she called inaction and indifference. When it comes to native nations she also touted the gains tribes continue? We need to make in spite of challenges. In the congressional response to the address New Mexico Representative Deborah Holland a Democrat and a citizen of the Laguna Pueblo continued criticisms of the administration and issued a call to all need of nations to act in the best interests Anita values. We're going to hear both speeches beaches this hour. If you WANNA comment send us an email you can send it to comments at native America calling DOT COM or tweeted to us at one eight hundred nine nine native. Here's President von Sharp. Kyo which I'm just Jack. I wish Guy Good Morning. My name is fawn sharp. I consider it my life's greatest honor to have this opportunity to share with you today. I thank the Creator for gathering us together for this historic dialogue between Indian country and the United States on behalf of the five hundred and seventy four federally recognized tribal nations dozens of state recognized tribal nations and millions of native people across this country country. I welcome the distinguished. Guests assembled here today and those watching around the globe to the eighteenth annual State of Indian nations address. I stand before you today. As a humble servant of all tribal nations fulfilling my duty to share Indian countries story of perseverance and resurgence with the world to convey with absolute clarity Indian countries expectations of the United States government government and to cast a light on the immense power and proven wisdom of tribal nation's governing their own lands and affairs solving difficult challenges and forging brighter futures on their own terms. I embrace the enormity of this task for I have been groomed for decades aides to carry it out by transformative leaders in his footsteps I follow leaders like Beatrice Black Elizabeth Cole Tiny Kapoma. He's Rosanna in Ramona Bennett to name just a few these matriarchs kindled a great fire in me to give my life in leadership to my. Don't people in all of Indian country just as important. They showed me the way and for that I am forever grateful I also it draw great strength as they did from our Almighty creator. The advice of my fellow tribal leaders the spiritual nourishment in life lessons end of canoe journeys the inspiration passion in Ingenuity of our brilliant native youth and the ancestral teachings of our elders their wisdom encouragement and guidance have prepared me to meet this moment. So why do we gather here today. The purpose purpose of this annual address is to memorialize in affirm the enduring government to government relationship ship between tribal nations and the US government. It provides our assessment of the current health of that relationship and how it must be strengthened. This hallowed discourse not only speaks to elected officials political and judicial appointees in staff the federal government nor is it limited to tribal leaders employees in citizens it has meant for all Americans especially those who have been disenfranchised and rendered hopeless hopeless bi racial injustice economic inequality and the rapid decay of our American political system. They seek answers during these troubling times and they need to look no further than tribal nations to find them in that spirit. I stand before you today. Supported supported by more than six hundred tribal nations and governments across this land to share with you this undeniable truth. The state of Indian nations nations is strong across this land. Tribal nations are writing remarkable stories of cultural social political and Economic Mike Renewal. In the face of great obstacles we relentlessly plow forward in our eternal quest to create futures of hope Opportunity Eighty and cultural vibrancy for our youth in those generations yet. To come we do. So by invoking and practicing the greatest indigenous in his core values of all self-governance the crater gifted tribal nations with certain inalienable rights among them the right to steward word and draw nourishment from our traditional homelands cultivate extraordinary potential of our youth develop thriving economies that that provide opportunity for all of our people and manage our own affairs and control our own destinies as my mentor former Cornell leader in NCI CIO president Joe Delacruz so perfectly captured it. No right is more sacred to a nation to a people then the right to freely determine its social economic political and cultural future without external interferences the the fullest expression of this right is when a nation freely governs itself. We native peoples not only the inherent right but the sacred responsibility to live the way our creator intended speaking are indigenous languages living our traditional core values imparting them to the next generations practicing our life ways conducting our ceremonies and freely governing Orleans and Communities Tribal Nations are not nonprofit organizations. We are full fledged battle-tested governments guided by time honored cultural trope principles and recognized as such in the northwest ordinance the US Constitution and hundreds upon hundreds of treaties and Supreme Court precedents accidents however many Americans including many policymakers still don't understand the unique status status of tribal nations are unique political status. They don't recognize the indisputable fact that we are argh genuine governments with the right and more importantly the ability to govern our own lands and communities govern those in accordance with the values that make us who we are as native peoples but through mechanisms like this annual address address more and more Americans and others around the world are learning this truth and in doing so are turning to Indian country for inspiration shen direction and most importantly solutions to our common challenges in this great age of uncertainty acting with the next seven generations wins in mind our ancestors endured great hardships to forge our path to this day so that we would be able to be there answer to a prayer for thriving cultures healthy children in robust communities. We must and we will be worthy of the great sacrifices they made to who gives us this chance to sustain not only our way of life but our world for future generations.

Using Virtual Reality to Improve Healthcare Outcomes with Everett Crosland
"Today I have the privilege of hosting Everett crossland. He's tenured healthcare executive with significant experience variance in developing and executing US and global commercialization and launch strategies. He's got proven expertise and leadership in launching and commercializing novel. Oh FARMACEUTICA L- and digital therapeutics as well as drug device combinations used to treat rare and common diseases Everett's most recent experience is as as the senior vice president of commercial at applied the are where he has successfully scaled the company's virtual reality based SAS offering across multiple optical channels within healthcare in today's age in healthcare the consumer experience matters more than ever and the use of technologies like virtual reality. Eddie are changing the way that the landscape looks and addresses things. So I'm excited to dive into these topics with with Everett today. And so ever just want to give you a warm welcome awesome. Thanks for joining us today. Much really appreciate the opportunity to chat with you today. And I'm looking forward to the discussion. I think given the audience that you've described ride in the people who download your podcast on a monthly basis. I think we'll have a fruitful conversation. I agree I agree. So tell me Everett what inspires inspires your work in healthcare. Sure I think mostly what gets me up every day and gives me that spark every morning is the potential that we have Specifically at applied. VR To provide an alternative solution for patients. Who are in pain or dealing with things? I we sell a lot of products into into the emergency department. Setting and I think we can all relate to anytime. You're you're going into the emergency department a lot of times. That might be the the worst day or night of your your year even your life and so being able to provide a product that we have confidence and we have clinical evidence that supports reports our ability to say that we're reducing pain and where we are reducing anxiety and helping patients cope with pain anxiety again at that point in their their life where they need it most and so. I think it's something that we think a lot about on a daily basis and it's definitely something that keeps me motivated more we we get the product addict out there that the more people were helping and of course building a business. I love the idea of being able to successfully start from zero and build and build something into a multimillion dollar enterprised. Yeah it's definitely exciting and so I looked to learn a little bit more about the technology the applications and exactly how you guys are are adding value to the ecosystem. Can you hone in on that for us. Yeah sure thing. So we offer a virtual reality therapeutic content. We currently are UH wellness product. Which means that we can't make medical claims because we have not put our products through FDA for you and clear and says medical devices but right well we are able to point to the clinical studies that we've done in the clinical studies that have been done on our products and that demonstrate the ability of virtual reality content to nets really relaxation exercises breathing exercises biofeedback etcetera a- all are designed to reduce anxiety and help patients cope with acute and chronic pain? Something that we you have a lot of anecdotal evidence on but also we've done the work to build a clinical body of evidence to support that use as well and so you think about the value proposition. Obviously there's there's a patient value here where patients more than a majority of patients prefer non opioid non pharmacologic logic pain management regimen virtual reality offering. Clearly we fit the bill. We also have a value prop for health systems and physicians in a variety have different settings and citing the emergency department. A lot of times. There's Qiyang's ID in that setting you can imagine that a patient with co Morbidity and who's on on average six to eleven different drugs and they come through the door adding another drugs. Such as been. Zo can complicate implicate your work stream and workflow. And so if you're able to introduce again a non pharmacologic solution that helps patients cope with their anxiety in pain in that setting and you're able to improve efficiencies as well so we can go through multiple different settings but that's just one example where we think through our value prop in terms of what we're offering the patient what we're offering dachshund in terms of their workflow efficiency and then what we're offering health systems uh-huh terms of their ability to provide value to to patients and improve cost structure that they obviously think about on a day to day basis. Nuts some some valuable pearls there ever at and and I mean we've discussed the challenges with the OPIOID epidemic and last year the NIH funded that they approved proved nine hundred and forty five million dollars toward research to more non opioid ways to reduce pain long-term and this is a critical equal. Time for technologies. Like this yeah so we we actually received some grant funding through the NFL. H There and we're number of. Yeah we we were part of that class clash with thanks. Yeah it was team effort. We've got a number of experts on staff here. That just did Yeoman's work and getting those Graham with Asians and then it and I think it's it's a real market credibility when h these promising you're in your product and you're offering. We're using that money. A to conduct clinical randomized controlled studies at Cleveland Clinic and Geissinger to study both pain reduction as well as opioid sparing airing. So we're matching this product up against standard of care that currently uses opioids and rightfully so in many cases. But there's also also room to improve and room to potentially reduce the need for opioids and a certain patient population and we're investigating that and we're kicking those. Those clinical studies off this year. And we're really grateful for the United Funding as well and it helps a company like ours which is a venture backed company. Upset oppose extended runway. I'll just bring in more experts and and again it just lends credibility. Yeah totally agree with you. I read in. It's exciting to hear you. You've got these outstanding partnerships partnerships with Some of the best in the provider space. And as you think about how your company the company that you guys are running there. What is it that differentiates is it? Wise it better than other. VR things that are out there. I think our approach is relatively unique and we have a a really broad base of data that we're pulling from so we sell into over two hundred and fifty hospitals across the country. We sell in the seven different countries. We've got an incredible amount of use that in data from that use that we are using to mind for four for clinical signals and uses just increasing with at thirty thousand patients that have used our our product today now this year. I think we'll probably hit at forty thousand and bag as a real competitive advantage in that were able to see where. VR Works and wear doesn't me think about treating pain for example in a lot of companies are looking at Vr as a solution for paying. We're not necessarily unique in that but the reason is is that there's a mechanism mechanism of action there and the cascade there that we believe that we all believe that we can tap into applied. VR Has the distinct advantage of being able to see across those thirty. Ideally say forty thousand usage over the course of a few years and and really mind for insights and signals. We're using that shape. Apr Clinical Studies and shape. Our Clinic put develop that program. I think what we're also differentiated is our intense focus on clinical winnick eleven. And we're doing that through strategic partnerships so our intense focus on evidence development. She added other company. Neither will but I'll tell you the way that we're doing I think is we do this through strategic partnerships and this partnership gratitude. Where are we are? co-developing are a chance to related products with NCI H. We're working with a couple of large judge health system and pears in co-development could ask there as well and even in our clinical study with ice very people into winnick. We had a strategic partnership elements those but that they're not just transactional clinical development program for we're software. So we're able to use the leverage the experts that he is sufficient during their fold in some elements of the product out of the clinical study. He it goes into FDA and ultimately that the market is something that has been shaped by the best practitioners. Were I think that that gives us a AH competitive advantage often. What is the issue clinical? Study one going back and forth with plentiful totally agree. But if you listening unique way you're able to refuse to produce a product that is better than just a transactional
Climate Cast
Doctor's advice: Forget the climate change deniers, focus on the 'passive allies'
"The most effective way to talk about. Climate Change I'm NPR chief meteorologist. Paul Hunter here with climate cast University study shows seventy percent of Americans now except that climate change is happening and only nine percent dismiss. Climate Change mini climate communicators now bypass the time and energy it takes to convince climate deniers Lolita. Surra Panini is a doctor with the University of Minnesota. And she's with health professionals for a healthy climate she wrote on NCI about motivating passive allies. Highly Hi Pal. So that George Mason Zain Yale. Study says that seventy percent of Americans now believe climate change is real and about six and ten are either concerned or alarmed so since the vast majority already of people now accept climate science. Do we really need to spend time convincing those so-called dismissive to move forward on solutions. I M an internist and so the why of any action is central to my practice so I started thinking about why we would want to convince someone if the answer is because you want them to take action than we need a different strategy so you talk in your piece about passive allies. Who are they so the Yale study shows that thirty percent are concerned and seventeen. percent are cautious. But they are not taking action for us. The efficient use of our time right now is did move the forty seven percent into taking action when you think about where to Focus Carr's time and energy Who are the people. You're focused on. I think at our circles. We have a lot of people who already believe that. Climate change is a real and urgent the problem so if we can give them concrete immediate steps to take that will move the population that are actively engaged engaged in creating social change. I'm curious you know as a behavioral list. What are the dynamics of changing personal beliefs and behavior. One of the things that comes to mind is talking to patients about how Quitting smoking so even when we start in a shared reality the that smoking is bad for our health. It takes a long time for someone to go from what we call the pre contemplation stage where people are not even thinking about quitting smoking talking to the action phase. So when we translate this decline I we have to convince people. It's real then. We have to convince it's manmade then we have to convince them to take action which basically requires them to overhaul their lifestyle most of the analysts on climate change. Do you say that personal action matters but we also need bigger structural changes in the way we do transportation and the way we do energy and food. So is it really true. That people have to overhaul their lifestyle. Yeah absolutely I think they both go hand in hand In public health actually we have a framework that shows that that when you change the system to make the default behavior healthy or in this case green then. It's more likely that people will take that action and that it's more sustainable sustainable. We've seen in the past that you don't always need one hundred percent of the people to make a change. What are some historical examples of action on issues. That did not have a high I level of support. Yeah common misconception is that to create social change. Everyone needs to act but data tells us a different story so a couple of examples are a Gallup poll in one thousand nine hundred sixty one showed only twenty eight percent approved of the lunch counter. Sit Ins and freedom buses during the civil rights movement and a study. Dr Chenoweth from Harvard. Found that it takes only around two point. Five percent of the population actively participating in civil protested Claus Real Political Change University of Minnesota physician La Lethal Syrup Panini. Thanks so much for talking on climate cast

Marine Mammal Epidemic Linked to Climate Change
"This is scientific. Americans sixty seconds science. I'm Christopher Dodd. Yata the Arctic because warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet meaning more and more sea ice is melting every year concerning the rapid loss of see I sat there for a lot of reasons. Tracy Z Goldstein. A researcher and conservationist at UC Davis she says one of those reasons is animals like ice seals. Need the ice to haul out on and give birth and other reason. As the Arctic warms the fish the seals eat maybe moving to deeper and colder waters so the seals have to travel further to hunt them for the combination of all of that over time is probably going to affect their health and their body condition and that will make them not just underweight but also more susceptible to diseases diseases may also be encroaching the upon Arctic marine mammals because spotting a trend here Arctic sea ice is melting coli unintended consequence of all of that but yes You know when they I used to be an ice bridge certain populations would remain separate from each other and so they couldn't come in contact and give each other they bacteria viruses etc but once those channels thought it to open animals were able to move further and came into contact with new species that they had not come in. Contact with in the Post Goldstein. In her colleagues documented the spread of a disease called called fo seen distemper virus from two thousand one through two thousand sixteen. It's related to the measles and causes skin lesions coughing pneumonia seizures and sometimes death in in marine mammals Goldstein's team scanned historical and Contemporary Marine Mammal blood samples for antibodies against the virus. They also hunted for evidence of live infections nasal swabs taken of mammals and they found that flare ups of the virus were linked to years with extreme losses. NCI's suggesting that open waters. Aided the spread of the pathogen perhaps along the melted coastline north of Siberia. Their analysis is in the journal scientific reports mammals that depend on ice to survive may already be slated for extinction and as the Arctic melts. Goldstein says in more frequent epidemics like this viral one could hastened the blow but humans may also be affected up in the Arctic. People subsist subsist on these species so they really rely on these animals for their livelihood and wellbeing and as those animals disappear as their habitat disappears. That's is also going to heavily affect humans in that area so overall I think overall health of the environment and the animals and the people up in the Arctic over time it's just going to continue to deteriorate
