"Show, and I want to start first. With this story coming to us out of New York City, non citizens have been awarded the right to vote there in New York City. 800,000 people, green card holders, dreamers, they're going to be able to vote in city elections. Now, this has already happening actually in more than a dozen places all over the country, including some parts of California and Vermont and other liberal places, but now it's come to New York City. And so the idea is, if you've been living in New York City as a resident for 30 days, you now have the right to vote in an election. The left says this is great. We're making history, but other people are including myself saying, wait a second here. What's really going on? Because just to be very, very clear. I mean, it's not like you or I can move to Mexico tomorrow. Show up there for 30 days, even if we were legally working and legally living there. And suddenly say, okay, I'm going to vote in a Mexican election. That's not allowed. Now, one of the reasons for that is because as a citizen, you have a stake in this country's direction. You're kind of here for the long haul, right? In America, once you become a citizen in the United States of America, you're paying taxes for the rest of your life. Whether you like it or not, whether you want to move somewhere or not. Somehow, the U.S. is always going to get you. Consider people now that are giving up citizenship and moving to other countries because maybe they see that as a tax advantage or maybe they don't like the way the country is going. Well guess what, Uncle Sam or uncle Joe in this case is going to take half of your net worth on your way out the door. If you're a green card holder, doesn't matter. You can leave tomorrow. You can go somewhere else. You're not going to have to pay that penalty. If you're living elsewhere in holding on to your U.S. citizenship, we're the kind of country that's still charges you U.S. taxes. Nobody else does that. That's unique to the United States. Given that citizens are on the hook for all this money, given that we're the ones responsible for the bills at the end of the day, don't you think that we ought to be the ones that are deciding the future direction of this

"And so. i think there's that theme that i've seen from our clients really in the last six to eight weeks is we just announced our sustainability report. We now are making plans and goals reduce our emissions. How do we go about reducing while also identifying growth opportunities in this space. And it's two different initiatives right and they can be complementary but when you look at your environmental e in. Es g that has ill it's it's a reducing and of effort right efficiencies like weight loss rate. So you got gotta get on the scale. You've got to see unaware you are and then figure out you. How am i gonna get from eight to be and then in addition to that. I don't wanna just be where i was. I want to actually be better. That i was right and i want to build a profitable business in so where are those opportunities that are gonna have accelerate our business but are longer term vision for how we're gonna make our investors have confidence in us as a corporation and i think that you're seeing a lot of renewable natural gas investments. Which is really interesting but mostly because you can use existing infrastructure for that resource your hydrogen. I think got a lot of attention at the beginning of the year. End is certainly starting to get a little bit more traction. But because of the physics behind the science and hydrogen blending molecules are just more complicated in nature than electrons rate electrons. You produces like water and they go into a pipe or into transmission line and an produced but you. I think that what you're seeing from companies that have been either you know in e o r or the co two space. They're narrowing in their focus to carbon capture sequestration and of where are the bottlenecks and regulatory challenges. They are and what needs to be defined or if it's fuel you're starting to see like i said the renewable fuels and then how does hydrogen fit into that and then where to renewables have to play. And so there's there's certainly. I think a lot of progress that has been made just with the recent announcements i mean. Mississippi has one of the biggest hydrogen projects that was announced a few weeks ago. Some of the big companies that are working in the gulf of mexico with an of their co two efforts and carbon management. It's it's going to be an interesting. You're twenty two to see where this factfinding has allowed for. Investment decisions to be made the projects to be built out and then to see which of those is going to be. The path work repeatable. Business moving forward good chatter with this two part question. One biggest challenges. And what do you see as being the biggest positive moving forward as we navigate this energy transition between renewables and fossil fuels and then to what's on tap for novus moving forward when look at texas. I typically tend to be. A homesick texan in washington d. c. area. But what's happening in the traditional oil and gas phase it relates to an of this newer area. I think it's extremely exciting. And you know in to look at an of the geography and the way that the gulf coast over through louisiana has really pockets of geology. That can be utilized for some of the carbon management strategies. And so for me. I mean that's what i think gets me excited every day because with renewables and it's everywhere i mean and it has been in it can be. I mean it's abundant. It was driven by policy early on. I was always fascinated by new jersey being one of the biggest markets. And in when you first talk about renewable as you don't think that right you think we're the sunshine's the mohsen no i mean. It was largely driven by state policy and so that will continue. I mean and the solar developers that are really experienced and have a mastered the process and putting those deals together. They'll continue to come up with innovative ways to participate in the power business and.

"Dc's perspective you didn't hear a lot because that's a regional regulatory entity that i think all taxes didn't appreciate had a lot of power over your daily lives and so what's interesting. Is that consumer education. I think that is happening across the board or all getting smarter and more educated into how everything's changing now it's energy and so from dc's perspective. What's interesting is that. There's a new for commissioner that was appointed it'll get confirmed and then there'll be a majority of democratic commissioners that will likely accelerate a lot of policy around renewables but as far as regional market. You know firkh delegates to urquhot. So i watched it from afar. You know as friends families really suffered. And it was heartbreaking just knowing that you know texas is not equipped for that. I mean not not those temperatures first off but to be without food and water and then you know it's always the communities who've already have gone through really catastrophic experiences and just rebuilt in then yet hit again. And i and i hope that there's better information that shared. I feel like when you are lost and trying to find answers. There's a of finger pointing and instead of shifting blame to one party or the other. i do think that an hope that there's you know. Some some policymakers that come together to realize that. Let's just make a plan right to make sure that we reduce the risk of that ever happening again in today's renewable world. What are you working on with your customers. You know we go in and do an assessment of where are you today you know. I think that renewables tend to be the flashy toy you know a lot of. It's where we wanna learn about solar. We want to understand renewables and we start there in a little bit about it. But i think that you know we go in and look at core competencies to know whether you're the midstream business and are looking to green up your operations or it. Optimize with solar assets in and reduce costs while having renewable energy credits..

"And then you have to retract that in rethink how you're gonna move forward that to me is the biggest impact so my question would be an you know and i think to others that you speak to on the podcast is how do you continue to move forward right when you know that change is very it's happening. It's very unclear. There is really not a crystal ball. We know that we all depend on reliable affordable energy. We want it to be clean. But then you're kind of at the mercy of these politicians that for better for worse are answering to an of the next election cycle and as corporations. You need to be able to run a business to know that. What does that mean for your investments. And i guess that's kind of where novus energy comes in. Because i know you guys dealing in the oil and gas space but also in the renewable space as well you guys right now or gals or kind of helped bridging that gap all. I mean i guess we try friend. I mean you know. It's it's all about information you know. I get a lot of crickets and just speaking to the fact that there's so much that's been interesting and as since january and i mentioned i was in houston petroleum club. Win biden was rolling on all of his executive orders and and those are moments of an assault on the wound rate for the oil and gas community but to see how far it's common just a matter of six to nine months and look at what's happening with carbon capture sequestration with hydrogen. And so you're starting to see a lot of the positive outcomes from new opportunities in oil and gas but it doesn't mean that we're not still operating of this unclear dynamic. So how do you take your. We spent a lot of time saying okay. Here's the political nature of washington. Dc right this is an of. How do you head your bets on these an potential policy changes.

"It's clearly very attractive. Investment opportunity given all of the institutional investors that are hungry for assets here. But i do think that part of the problem is exactly that is the fact that investors have received so much pressure to divest fossil fuels and without that capital it makes it that much more challenging for oil and gas operators to continue to build their businesses. And so when you look at at the bridge between renewables and oiling guys you know how do we as a country educate not just investors but the environmental community the new generation of youth. That's coming up and maybe you know has a perspective on climate that we all should have. I don't think anybody is still back. In the days of the polar bear you know and the and the melting ice. I mean it is here. Climate changes your. There's very few that are the last standing in a blockbuster manager who who haven't realized that you know that this is happening in so do you get a clear message across to we. We are trying to accelerate in lower our carbon footprint emissions and. I think you're starting to see. Just even in the sustainability reports that have been released from oil and gas companies in last month. That they're starting to be more transparent. I mean i think they've done a good job in aligning as an industry. But not necessarily a you know. Specifically as far as their corporate unease and that pressure that investors put on them allows them to have a benchmark to be able to start to track and better measure and of how they're doing their business responsibly. But i think that it's up to a lot of the policymakers but also just the overall kind of country to ensure that the pressure that you're putting on the industry really you're seeing the full scope of the number of jobs that you know it employees and really how much it's critical and every other part of our daily lives. I mean look at you know oil and gas prices when they the cost has gone up..

Emily started at number noble business and the early two thousands following a studies of the enron organization and business and really at a curiosity in the car business and was encouraged to into renewables. So i joined my texas friends up in washington. Dc while they were working with the bush administration and i got into the energy business into solar at the time before tax credits and peak oil was in sight and spent a decade working with the electric power utilities on the regulated side as they were gonna adjusting to new business models independent power producers and customers with the ability to sell power back to them with the net metering policies in states and through solar technology. And then you know. Following our first. Born i encouraged my husband moved to texas of inch of my friends had moved back home. And there it was always a number of conversations with oiling gas friends and family and realized it was just such a gap in understanding of information and the renewable space and a huge political divide. And still is you know but i about we've looked at the energy business is truly that and you know shared information and started a consulting business as a niche player and providing perspective on renewables. That was very unbiased. And since then yes is very different. I mean now. Twenty twenty one. Our forth administration living in the dc area and renewables have been bipartisan. Were longtime. But i would say just for my texas roots in that respective you know. Oil-and-gas is a cultured community. And it's very old school and so yeah the shift and understanding and knowledge in the renewable business and then these opportunities as it relates to the electrons meeting these molecules is very paced in where it's accelerating too and i just think in the last six months now that the industry has responded to the new administration and of the culture that is in the business that will be for the next four years..

"What's historical versus. What each of the individual authors making their own for their own place in time. And there's lots of examples that but i've i've never really questioned whether the miracles happened. I believe he walked on water. I believe that healed people. I believe that he cast out demons. I believe that he multiplied the fish and lows. And i mean if you know if i get when i get to meet them someday if it turns out he's mark made all how he was bragging on me that wouldn't change by. You wouldn't shake my faith if i learned that it didn't happen historically right but i don't. I think god has the power to do whatever god chooses to do. So that's yeah so that story was not true. You went back. Well that was a waste. I can't move. I believed so. I wouldn't use the word true though i would use the word like historically accurate right because i do think there's a distinction between like historical fact. Okay like what the thing that actually transpired and the truth behind it and so the theological truth here is that jesus meets the needs of the people and i mean some people who read it maybe in a more secular way i think you could probably say a theologically liberal way would say maybe maybe the people got fed is because everyone shared what they had right to make it a very tactile like we have the power to to to share. That's fine. I mean that's a good way to preach that text But i you know is jesus fully human or divine us. Both and so walk on watering walk on water. Efficiency can do that now so my monday. Morning was reading this book. The bible tells me so indus been really great conversation and so we're we touched a little bit on this because he kinda goes through some things that are like well. Maybe this actually didn't happen this way. And so just having that discussion okay. How do we explain to someone. No not pretty efficient loaves but like Like how how would i say. Well i totally believe that this happens like he multiplied. But i don't believe that joe novus swallowed by will like how do you. How do you explain like how can you believe that happened. But say oh. That didn't really know. So we've just had a great discussion about how do you make that distinction and it's kind of hard. It is hard. No i totally. I totally agree that it's hard i think but i think what makes it. Hard is the way we tend to read things we read things either as fiction or nonfiction and the bible is i mean doesn't fit neatly into those categories and so You know i mean theologically would say that you read about the power of the holy spirit. I mean spirits guiding the reading just like spirit guided the writing and i would argue literally in exactly the same way as the holy spirit was with the authors of these tax payers with us and so it can be I mean deconstruction as a word..

"And there's absolutely no way that people who racially his white have come away unscathed robin i know. Sometimes there is a a criticism leveled at you that you are a white person. Centering yourself in this space. And is this your place to talk about. This and i thought what you said in your book nice. Racism was interesting on this. Could you speak to that a little bit. It brings a audrey powerful quote of the master's tools where she says. How do you dismantle the master's house when you only have the master's tools there. There are so many tensions in this work. There are so many both ends. So i recognize that. I sent her whiteness in my work. Which is intended to decentral whiteness. So in a curious way. Of course whiteness stay centered by being unmarked and unnamed. It's just the default by which everything else is measured and so two d center. You have to expose it rather than support it and uphold it That's what i seek to do. I seek to do it from the particular position. i'm in it is only one piece of it but There was something you said in the opening. Deborah were i think traditionally we wipe people. Expect that if we're gonna talk about racism we're gonna learn all about novus experience so let's just sit back like we're we're outside of this. It occurs in a vacuum rather than it is a relationship that we are in and we play a profound part foundational part in that relationship and there is a way that i can speak to it again as an insider it can never be the only way that we come to learn. I don't think white people can ever truly understand racism without listening to black people and other of color. But we can't only listen which reinforces this idea that were innocent of race right and continually puts all of that burden. I see it as a form of colonialism. i will sit back and receive the fruits of your labor. You will open your chest in your guts and show me your pain so i can learn and be moved hopefully by it. You know hanley the fruits of all that labor. I will inspect the fruits in say. Yes i think this one. I think this but i don't think this one right like that dynamic is not okay and so. I don't know that there's an clean way to do this. We're in it I try to do what. I do with integrity with acknowledging those tensions but for me to not use this position to challenge. Racism is to really be white. And i'd like to be a little less white in the ways. The being white is oppressive.

How Do You Feel About Freedom Day? With Shelley Treacher
"Shelly. Thanks for joining us today. we wanted to talk to you about freedom day as it's been cooled while the restrictions lift everything's going back to normal and i guess the big question is you know. There's a lot of excitement around freedom day but a low of also feeling not excited and more kind of anxious and worried uncomfortable. Why is that. What's worrying about freedom honestly. I think it's really normal response to a very abnormal situation with still in an abnormal situation. I mean coming out of long. Isolation caused by terrifying deadly threats on other systems is still going to be triggered. One reason we might feel like this is because we've got used to being on god and it might take a while to come out with the body's threats like response to calm down and to get back to normal because we've been vigilant for so long and on top of that it's also possible that some of us have developed social anxiety after being isolated from others for so long so we might have a natural inclination to just wanna stay indoors and you know some of us might have here of being seen having relied on food to cope with the pandemic and coping with the pandemic might also have caused us to block off our feelings. I think. Also one thing that i'm definitely experiencing i don't know if it's the same view both but i feel novus as kind of lifting lockdown and you know mosques no longer being required and i feel very much like is the outside world actually safe. Do you feel like. That's a coleman fear and how do we deal with. Yeah i see this all the time. I mean people go from one extreme to the other. Some people have really kind of in. Denial probably blase about the risks. But a lot of my clients are saying or. I'm not really sure this is happening. All of a sudden and is a bit of a shock. So i think probably the best thing to do is to take it slowly and to check things of change. Things are different now and it's going to take a physiological systems time to catch up with that but we need to check the news tech health things have changed and check what the actual risks are now. Because they've changed. It's been a massive journey from beginning to end this million so far and we kinda need to examine exactly what we're terrified of now because it might be stuck in a year and a half ago the also it's worth mentioning light. You can still do the safety things that he made. You feel secure like i'm going to continue wearing mosques et cetera at least for the foreseeable yes hundred percent to be on his stephen dislike having this conversation an hearing all the things you talking about. Shelly i was just getting bit. Novice abou- circus. I think the way that i've dealt with Freedom day and everything is just total. Denial you know thinking that. I'm just gonna stand. A fat is fine. I'm not going to go out. Because i can work from home. I'm not going to go out to a workplace. I'm not gonna go out an go together ings yet. I'm just gonna keep wearing my mosque. Yeah it's It's a bit of a scary time. Isn't it and yes. So i will still be wearing mosque I think for me phase around the social stuff is interesting. You mentioned around this ocean anxieties because of things do this. Whole pandemic in sums of different friends approaching the whole thing very differently so i've been incredibly cautious. My whole family's been incredibly cool shit like going way beyond the government guidelines and then seeing like one of my best friends being Not cautious and not not breaking the rules but certainly being relaxed around everything.

Here's alan cross. Nobody was ready for the sound. That was careers simply because nobody in tissot paid the huge demographic shifts that we were going to see in the music consumer so we moved from the classic rock people hair middle people quite suddenly over to generation x. who was at the beginning of the nineties. Not a very good place for slowly roller educated and underemployed. They were genuinely afraid that for the first time in many decades their standard of living would not even reach the same level exceed that of their parents. And there's a lot of weird stuff going on. We had the gulf war. We had a terrible recession These people were very very concerned about where their lives were going to go into the new decade as we count down the days to the end of the century the end of the millennia. And it just happens that this music this angsty music from the pacific northwest perfectly express. Their wants needs desires fears and concerns and anger and very very suddenly and to the sheer utter shock of the entire music community Grunge blew up in the fall of nineteen ninety-one within the span of barely over a month. Three albums were issued in rapid succession and rock. Music would experience one of its biggest and quick shifts. Ever with the arrival of pearl jam's ten nirvana's nevermind and sound gardens. Bad motor finger. The hair metal of the eighties was dead. Suddenly flannel shirts doc. Martin's shredded jeans and second hand guitars replace spandex eyeliner hair and sharp pointy guitars. While we're here. Why don't we take a minute to talk about. Grunge fashion the look associated with the bands. That came out of the pacific northwest grew out of necessity rather than need to make some kind of non fashion statement long before michael moore sang about popping tags. Thrift ing was a verb in seattle especially from members of struggling underground bands like nirvana. They weren't dirt form so thrift shops were the only place they could afford to buy clothes. And what would you find in a seattle thrift store. Flannel ripped jeans long. Johns that sort of thing. The kind of close a lumberjack might wear and then donate when they were done with. It and those clothes were useful. A flannel shirt worn around. The waist is a precaution against the pacific northwest unpredictable weather. Army boots are great for slogging through the mud. As for the greasy haired unkempt. Look well that to wasn't necessarily a statement. Charles crossed the editor of the seattle music monthly. The rocket says that kirk obain was just too lazy to shampoo and being dirt work. He did a lot of couch surfing and even slept occasionally outdoors. Okay back to the fall of nine hundred ninety one when grunge was finally breaking through. Let's take a look back at the three albums that put seattle on the map. I there's pearl jam's ten released on august twenty seventh nineteen ninety-one ten included soon to be classics such as alive jeremy and even flow and it established eddie vetter with his baritone roar as a superstar. Frontman the album went on to sell more than thirteen million copies in the us alone. Ironically though it never topped the billboard two hundred it reached the number two spot four times in august september and october nineteen ninety-two but was blocked out from the number one spot by billy ray cyrus whose debut album some gave all spent seventeen consecutive weeks at number one in nineteen ninety-two mentioned earlier. That eddie vedder ended up in the temple of the dog recording sessions because he was in town auditioning for jeff. Amen and stone gossips new band. Which was then called. Mookie blaylock but would become pearl jam. Well obviously he got the job but it's an interesting story. How that all came about jack irons founding drummer for red. Hot chili peppers was friends. With eddie vedder. Who was living in san diego at the time. Irons had gotten his hands on an instrumental demo tape from stone gossard. Who looking for a singer and a drummer for mookie. Blaylock irons immediately. Thought of vetter and passed him. The demo tape during a weekly game of basketball in los angeles veteran listen to the tape during his three hour. Drive back to san diego where he clocked in for an overnight shift at a chevron tank farm where he worked he listened to the tape over and over that night at work it contained five instrumentals dollar short. Troubled times ebola. The richard e an egyptian crave at eight the next morning when vedder finished work. He threw his surfboard into the back of his pickup truck and hit pacific beach as the fog crept in off the ocean better described what happened next during an interview with rolling stone in nineteen ninety-one. He said it was great music and it was bringing things out of me. That hadn't been brought out. I was literally writing some of these words. As i was going up against a wave or paddling while the time he got on. Dry land better had written lyrics and vocal melodies for three songs. What he came up with was a mini rock opera. Which better says is about earth. Incest and death dollar short became alive which as pearl jam fans no is partly by graphical and is based on betters experience of learning that his stepfather was not his real father and that his biological father had actually.

The Experience - Stagnation Trade Off
"Most businesses like to have an experienced team and as a customer. He generally likes to know that. There's an experienced team on the other side of the transaction or the purchase that you're making but there is a tradeoff between experience and stagnation because it's often harder for an experienced team to keep coming up with new ideas to keep challenging the status quo. They are the status quo. So it's harder for them to challenge it. It's not impossible. Mind you it certainly can be done but it takes a special individual to say. Well this is my body work. This is what i've created and now it's not good enough. We need to do something different. We need to evolve. We need to keep moving and learning again not impossible but generally. It's hard for us to do that. So it's important to generally have a mix of old versus young experience versus novice to have that fresh set of eyes coming into your organization to challenge the status quo to help you see things that maybe the existing team the experienced team see and to stop your company suffering from stagnation now. What's the ideal formula for old versus new experience versus novus. There is no formula. It really depends on the individuals involved. Depends on your company. depends your company dynamics. So there's no magic formula. I can't tell you that you need ten percent. New is to keep your company from stag ninety. It doesn't work that way. Obviously but it is important that you understand that if you have a super experienced team with no fresh is coming in. There's every chance that you might be stagnating even though you might not see it yourself and so if that is the case if you do have a super experienced team and no fresh is coming in. Maybe you do need to have one of those difficult conversations. Maybe it's time to move on from your organization to keep fresh is coming in. That's never an easy conversation to have. But you gotta think about the overall success and longevity of your business and think about where you are on the the experience versus stagnation curve and if you're getting close to the stagnation than maybe you want to think about. Getting rid of some of the experience nicely and then moving in some new fresh is just
Breaking Biotech
Will Selecta Biosciences be the Next Top Platform Biotech?
"The first company. I wanted to touch on is news from july lilly and they're huge company. Say like a large mega cap at one hundred and eighty three billion dollars and what they recently presented was the full data set from their molecule demand in alzheimer's disease. And this is a phase two trial looking at this antibody that targets a specific epoch on the amyloid beta approaching and this episode is only visible in established plaques. Now i don't want to belabor the point about the amyloid hypothesis which i've done in previous videos. Suffice to say that a number of different molecules have been attempted in this indication in specifically the mechanism of reducing amyloid plaques. And they've all failed and what we're seeing here is that in this multi center randomized double blind placebo controlled trial. That donna had a significant is what they're showing here in the air score but not a very profound impact on cognition and so they looked at this primary outcome the air score and this is a combination of the as well as the ads. Ads and so eight ask cogs general measure of cognition whereas the ads. I is a measure of activities of daily living. So they did a combined score with that and demanded mobs improvement led to a p value of point zero four so technically significant. But i'm not sure that if they replicated the stayed in a face. Three trout necessarily be positive. It is an interesting thing because when you look at the actual aid. S cog thirteen score. We don't see any significant change. It is better in indiana but not by a significant margin and then the mse score is basically no difference between the two so this is another data point to suggest that perhaps the amyloid beta hypothesis isn't one that these companies should be looking at and the last thing i wanted to show here. Is that the one thing that they do. See a significant change in the amount of amyloid in the brain and so the pet scan here to show that the dynamic treated group has a significant reduction in the amount of amyloid plaque in the brain compared to placebo. So the drug is able to reduce the emily beta plaques. But it's not able to improve cognition really as much as you would expect given the effect is there so i wanted to bring this up because there is an upcoming. Pdf date for biogen's advocating mob and this is going to be a huge movie for the stock and it was originally supposed to be in march but it was delayed until june seventh of this year. So keep your eyes on that. I don't know if i'm going to make any position on it. I think that the fda should not approve it given the results from the advisory committee but given that the so many is on this pdf. I feel like there's a chance at the fda could overlook that and end up approving drug. So it's definitely jairo word. Play and i would treat it as such and proceed likewise so that is eli lilly. I wanna quickly move on to another company in the alzheimer's face called novus and i touched on them in my previous video and what we heard in the last week was that they announced positive face to data and this is interim data showing the nbs for one or another name for the molecule is positive in improved speed and coordination in parkinson's patients. And this is a twenty five day treatment. Nine patients were in the treatment group and five or in the placebo and on the announcement of this data. I think the stock was trading around one hundred fifty maybe two hundred million dollars market valuation and went up to around two fifty three hundred before settling around two hundred and fifty million dollar market cap so big move up in the stock and i'll tell you the data. The ceo explained that the study was power to investigate a difference of twenty to twenty five percent in biomarker levels not to demonstrate efficacy making this data that much more significant so to provide some context. And why i think this is interesting. Is that i in my previous video. Didn't really seem to bullish on a novus and the reason for this is that it reminds me very closely other types of amyloid beta drugs because this drug reduces app the precursor protein to amyloid beta. So my rationale is that if they're targeting the same emily data pathway. Given that there's been so many molecules that have failed previously targeting that pathway. I don't expect that this one is going to be any different now. Having said that. I decided to take a position because we've seen over and over again. That companies have been able to spin face to data in a positive way that leads to these big increases in the sock even though in phase three there's an eventual failure so i decided to take a position in stock and i have been rewarded handsomely so far and i'm going to hold on to see the rest of the phase two data so to get the actual data here in one test that measures the speed of execution. The results were statistically significant. P equals zero point zero four showing that while parkinson's disease patients are slow in coding. Boxes met with an s four. Zero one improves their performance. In these same patients other test that measures coordination showed an improvement in their movements and was almost statistically significant peak will s- appoint zero seven. Then they say in all end. Es up tests performed the placebo group either stayed the same or performed worse than at baseline instead the a b s four zero one group either stayed the same perform better than at baseline and as we know. Md s up drs is a specific tasks that measures severity and progression of the disease.

What's Next for Muslims in America?
"Audit hoda. Novus anomoly continue all Thank you joining us here. On this table where we are discussing. How post election forts. And what's next for muslims in america. I'm sure you can all agree. It's been crazy times and in many ways we're kind of up the woodsmen anyways we're entering new self woods with new challenges to face. I wanted to start off just by asking. What role did muslim voters play in this election. The way we've done things in the past. There has been slow grassroots initiatives. Here and there are different organizations. But this time. There was a lot of And i think you know over among. Muslims voted in the election. That's phenomenal like that's beyond anyone's expectations. Of was there before the election started or the early voting started States like michigan. I think some delivered. They delivered michigan to the biden. Victory and i think minnesota what we snare issues exceptional sixty plus muslims. That got elected this election. And that says something. When you see that in the Legislator reflects what our community looks like need looked at this election Strategically see where we needed to Where we needed to help out in order to get border turn out and what community could actually build those coalitions. I feel like there is the sentiment and i saw this on social media in leading up to the election. There was this kind of sentiment that muslim organizations who Kind of you know. representing The muslim grassroots on the ground for the biden campaign Was being kind of you know there was kind of i. Don't use the word fighting but into dialogue lesage's to be kind About various organizations. And whether or not they have essentially the right to represent listen votes. You think that that kind of infighting is kind of unfair leading up to election where it's so important that muslims gathered together as a coalition and trump office. The muslim communities diverse in there has to be important questions that are asked in our organization. Do need to help be held accountable. so i i see nothing wrong in conversations about directions. Muslim organizations are going. You know as long as they're done in a manner that's productive in in a manner that's intended to move the community forward And i think you know how organizations respond to that is also telling of the direction they want to. And i think organizations and i've been with an organization before at at abc has been under the gun. That's been under community pressure to make changes. I've gone through it on the other side. And i understand that. They namic of running an organization. Dan dynamics of being annetta. That's a separate conversation of how organizations have to react and have to respond to community pressure and valid concerns. I think the question money raise was well is is this a time to talk about you. Know community Is at the time where we have an elections where we're trying to vote out a fascist and You know everybody has a different opinion. There is no right or wrong. Answer in both sides have concerns about the timing and so forth wasn't twenty sixteen on repeat. A lot of people did fall in line disappoint. Joe biden even May not have agreed that he was the best choice. Personally i do think he was a better choice. Donald trump a happily voted for him. I didn't have an issue. Voting for him are his policies. Perfect no by any means. They're not he's not the perfect candidate but i'm not looking for the perfect candidate. I'm not looking for somebody that i'm going to go out and stand in line for hours and it's going to get me. You know up to to see him. I'm i'm looking for president and it's normal. You know somebody that we can. When we do fight against our fight policies and push back on somebody that's gonna be receptive to listening to us so the democratic party joe biden's administration. We have to give them room to prove you know to to to prove themselves to the community. We have to give them room to answer to our concerns and our demands. And and see how reacts and i'm not saying biden is going to completely shut the door issues. He may well come out and be the bus president. We've seen for the community. We do have to give them that opportunity to do so. We have to give that room for him to to work in and navigate with us and see what comes about something that you said that like we just want a normal president and i think that that is really scary for me because i think a normal president in the united states is a warmonger will still enact other types of bands will still children are still being separated in the united states via the incarceration systems People are still being shot and killed by police. They're still surveillance they're still going to be a us empire and so these like he's very core. Fundamental forms of violence are not going to be raised at all. I think that is something that It's central to what i think i'm really pushing for. Is that a yes. We should have diversity of tactics absolutely. We can't just like protests everybody in the street and then like think. Everything's going to change if we don't have a strategy. If we are able to actually think about things strategically. I agree that a diversity of tactics is very important but i also think i think there's celebration i think there's a difference between a celebration of trump leaving office and biden entering office. I think it's like great. I love seeing trump depress. The white house or about the whole thing at the that was great. I love that. But there's truly nothing to celebrate about biden sneaking office and truly nothing to celebrate about going back to the status quo in the status quo is so deeply violent. The bar has been so much lowered based on how much violence that we've normalized. And i think that that's something that we can't allow. We allow ourselves normalized. Violence like biden saying that he's going to reverse the muslim ban. You shouldn't be sprayed it as a hero. That is like the basic thing that he should be doing and so i think that us getting excited. That biden is doing not even the bare minimum but just like reversing back to normal. Violent status quo is not a celebration. I think that unfortunately trump has really really destroyed our sense of normalcy but are also like before that even our sense of normalcy was like really endanger. And i think we don't do enough imagining about what we're actually trying to build toward And i think if we're actually able to sit down and be like all right. We're trying to elect muslims into positions of power for what what is our end goal like. We're going to rally around biden to get into power for what

We woke up for you but also teach you how to cook so after a couple of years you can insourcing function and be enable business in your vertical which we think can help a lot of people in hell of companies become more effective and more valuable and frankly we go. There's more to life than your financials but right but I think our impact we hope as she has a material impact on the market cap of at least work with. Can you give us an example of some of the types of problems that you're we're helping customers solve the C. One of our engagements has been with a large agricultural machinery company and I think if you can help a company not you know reposition from traditional agriculture company to being a enable Agriculture Machinery Company then you can build smart machinery. We're GONNA have the same saint farmer same foam but with automation suggestions the how to control the machine better you get crop from the same pharmacy and farm so this direct impact on the farmer was not surprising on the company building these types of things I think I was just in a Latin America lost weaken Columbia visiting companies in different industries as well from the sticks to manufacturing and what I'm seeing. Is that there's very strong. CEO level interest to hope companies also have induced you sectors become enable and it's not that is not that if you are manufacturing company you want to become any companies. Let someone else do that but but I think in the future enable manufacturing company can be much more effective have been valuable than than one doesn't maybe one last disruptive technology was the rise of the Internet and we saw that if if you have a shopping mall plus website yes everyone has built a website but that doesn't turn you into Amazon or if your taxi company and you build a website the internet company instead Uber Live Grab. DD are true Internet companies. Arguably is is as disruptive as the Internet and so there will and the changes the core of how different companies would compete. What are the things that help you build the defense business one of the things they generate value whether you play within our play was the new strategy and I think companies able to figure that out won't become near. What will survive and thrive on? I'm one of the town Silicon Valley which is not true. Is that whenever this disruptive technology is always a solid set win. That's just not true with the Internet some software to do okay well include Google facebook and Amazon but some incumbents that it will include Microsoft and apple which were not Internet companies but became create Internet companies so so what the rise of modern machine learning and exciting where that many of you in this community doing to land these technologies up to bring them to fruition. I think this is is very racist again where degrade options of startups but incumbents also have a lot of advantages and if they played it 'cause right they can become come very valuable very effective enable businesses verticals so what's involved in Plano cartwright one of the hardest things the companies companies to embrace a it's a scope the right set of projects and so we spend a lot of time. I think we'll eventually become very good at work have companies at least figure out what you should and should not use machinery to. I'd think you know some pieces of is a good one to start small. Maybe actually historian when one of the biggest most glamorous project has probably number one is usually a mistake at Lisa failure that then causes you lose faith. He says the company back back because you need to regain the faith one story early days. Google brain people who were still certainly didn't know how deep there were you in skeptical about it so my first internal customer was speech. Team wasn't the most it's not web search advertising right speech recognitions. Nice the project is not web search advertising but by making Google speech more accurate other teams have been google gained faith in our ability to deliver results it. It also taught the company how to use deep learning. I remember when I first. GPO server service sitting under some guys deaths with wires but but that told us important lessons about how the train models GPU's after the first successes secondly turner customers Google maps where we use OCR photo ought to beat house numbers to more accurately place houses on Google maps improve quality map data zone after those two successes that ident- started it more serious composition with the advertising ising team so so one lesson from it is is I think small is more important than your first project something like speech recognition back today to help the company what it feels like to use that to build momentum and then I think is important to form cross functional teams with machine senior experts and business advocation expense to brainstorm projects together one tip. I offer please can approach hip often the number one project did see okay so excited about this actually not project. You should work on so recommended companies to brainstorm dominic these half a dozen projects as spent a few weeks deeply evaluating technically feasible is valuable and do that before investing several few months where for resources sources to do that

Let's talk with wall street. Journal reporter james rundle who's part of the journals pro cybersecurity security team james. It sounds like a good idea creating an e sports category for cyber security <hes> essentially to kill two birds with one stone boosting interest in both e. sports and the overall industry yes essentially so cybersecurity has a pretty severe recruitment problem right now <hes> hundreds of thousands of vacancies in the u._s. alone millions worldwide worldwide so that areas if you can broaden the appeal attract youth through sports on maybe can help plug that gap well. The question is how interested would viewers really c._b._s. Watching sports contestants patch systems isn't this kind of a laborious process. It's a bit like watching paint dry so <hes> yeah that's the problem. You know you're watching people at the movies glorify radio watching people do the homework every competes as a there are some efforts underway to change this one gentleman who spoke to jason taylor. That's not a proof of concept where it would visualize the action going on in a game four months <hes> piece of put together something the unreal engine <hes> and it was pretty successful. There have already been cyber sports cyber sports competitions having their in the form of capture the flag contests and they're. They're more coming up on it. You talk about that yes so there was one recently in august called wicked six which pitted sixteenths from different colleges across the u._s. against each other raising money for charity. <hes> it was a bit of a test i think just to see if it could work and that kind of format with a live audience and it seemed to go pretty well that they're gonna get next year. <hes> catch the fly contest.

Is they provide a scouting report for every player shows their strengths their weaknesses how did throw season <hes> and quite a few of them have polly so you're actually bringing this job interviews and getting crazy industry as a result well how many job openings are currently in the cyber security field.

Philip Green fashion empire crumbles
"The high street fashion. Empire of Philip green is on the rocks. The UK retail I king has secured creditor support for three overhaul that's involve rent reductions store, closures, and to having of the company's pension deficit reduction payments, but will this be enough to save the business? Mafia Vinson discusses this question with Jonathan Ford and Jonathan Ely. Tell us a bit about Philip green and his fashion empire. How many stores all there in which are the best known brands? So the empire was put together from two big acquisitions that have Sears in one thousand nine hundred nine and nuts of Arcadia in two thousand and two Arcadia is, of course, the one that gives its name still to surf Phillips fashion empire four fifths of the revenues a made in the UK and Ireland from about five hundred sixty stores and they're all so concessions in department stores like Dem's and in some branches of Tesco now by far the best known of the Browns is top shop which counts for more than half of the sales, but there are also a series of smaller brands Burton, Wallis Dorothy Perkins, miss Selfridge Evans, being the main ones if my memory of back issues of vogue serves me talk shop was until. Recently regarded as something of a success, celebrities plumber into be associated with it gained to catwalk shows, and green was the person who is credited with getting it. But high profile on that level of success knighted for it. How is this managed to go wrong? So there are many causes a knife fits early into two buckets, if you like one is the sort of external factors over which Philip had relatively little control. And the other is the things that he did have influence and control over now outside his control was quite, simply the competition, much better. So back in two thousand and five when he was knighted, boo. A fashion retailer sells online and we'll turn over over a billion pounds this year did not even exist. And there's a whole series of those types of businesses have emerged who misguided, they sauce, people like that prime has really up to his game, h and. Am has opened hundreds of stores in the UK Zara has expanded quite aggressively in the UK. And also consumes have become much more kind to dispose to ordering clothing online something that seems a long time ago now but if you go back to the early noughties people were saying, oh, people will never order clothing, on my because they'll want to try it on. Well, they do try on. They try on at home and send back the bits they don't want, and then the things that he has done wrong. I think he basically took a lot of money out of Arcadia in the early noughties then famously paid his wife for one point two billion pound dividend didn't really invest enough act into the businesses that week online websites in their whole logistics, regarded as behind competitors and along with many other retailers from the sort of pre incidents era, they're finding now that they've simply got too many shops. So now so Philip finds himself as you say, with shops needing to close some of them leading to. Have the rent reduced on the others. Under the so-called company, voluntary arrangement. Can you just explain exactly what a VA is? And why he needed Sarah CVA is a peculiarly British form of insolvency that basically gives the company a window of opportunity to reach an agreement with its creditors to reduce its payments, and his overheads, and therefore is obligated, and actually any credits can be compromised under a CVA. But when it comes to retailers, it's almost invariably the landlords. That's are they face cuts to rents of between twenty five and fifty percents on about one hundred ninety four out of the five hundred also stores. They are the very significant aspects of this sceviour is that there is an agreement with a pension regulator Arkadiusz pension fund is about five hundred million pounds in deficit and the company had been making annual payments. To try and close that gap miss reached an agreement with the regulators, where it will reduce the payments, and so Philip, and his family will make good the difference, and that agreement with the pension regulates. The has very important political and legal ramifications should anything wrong with Arcadia further down the line, they still have to close certain outlets which talks about top shop, earlier, which other stores are going to be affected, or the CVA all of them all the chain. So twenty three stores will shots within the next year and that seems like quite low number out of five hundred sixty six but the reality, according to people in the commercial property world is the final number will be many more than not possibly into three figures that's because lots of stores are coming off lease anyway, and because over the three appeared of the CVA, there are lots of opportunities sort of written into the terms for either the landlords author Arcadia to end Elise early enclose a store. And that has raised questions really over the future of some of the other brands, we know already, the Evans miss Selfridge are going to move to a more wholesale type business model. So most of their stores will close one wonders how long things like Dorothy Perkins Wallis and Burson might lust because there's one marketing expert said to me last week if these stores didn't exist, would you go out of your way to invent them to have turn this round, if east Browns are not long for this world, even if he's able to have a little bit more success with top shop is there really a turnaround strategy Novus, while it's fair to say that many people think there isn't that what there is is too, vague into threadbare. So we know that he's basically plan to invest hundred thirty five million pounds over three years, roughly split half and half into improving the stores and improving the website and the online. Logistics the problem with that smaller a to really hundred thirty five million over three years
