"And then there are many things that we will be able to modify even after that and things that can be done via software. So yes, absolutely. For your audience, please feed us back any thoughts, comments, wishes, we are very happy to hear from all of you. Okay, so I just want to ask a quick and maybe slightly cheeky question here. Everyone wants to know. Do you know what sort of price we're going to be looking at for this? What's it likely to be? That is a great question. Thank you. I'm not sure if I have a great answer for you yet. But our goal here is for a fully configured unit to be more affordable than the note takers that are on the market today. So you know what that sort of upper limit is. It's around $5500, $6000 or so. And that would a fully configured meaningfully loaded laptop with the piezo displays, which would be more expensive than the orbit Braille. That would be lower than that price range. The starting point will be considerably lower than that. It's a bit hard for me and also a little bit premature to give you a number there. But we do intend for the starting configuration to be pretty affordable. Oh, pray affordable. Okay. And again, you have to be clear on this, right? Because this is a configurable system. So that's right. I'm guessing you could buy, I'm just surmising, but you could get an I three processor or an I 5 processor in there. The base level with maybe 8 Giga ram and whatever size solid state drive.

"We had to really struggle to convince them to continue to make that part since we had already gone quite a ways in our design work and that set things back by several months unfortunately. We had expected to have the product on the shelves by Christmas last year. And it's unfortunately delayed by around 6 months or so. I want to talk about the optimal police can be talking about the optima though because this is so exciting. So the optima laptop. Now, we've talked a little bit about this on the shore already venkatesh. So we've discussed a lot of the detail on it. The year 2024 is when this is announced that will come out. It feels a little bit vague as often these things are. And I just wonder, I've kind of called you a company sometimes the Tesla of Braille devices where you have a brilliant product, but when is it going to actually be available? When can I buy it? And I just want to draw about this. Danger or a concern that this may also slip a little further back in its production. That's a great question. And a perfectly valid one. And I don't know, I guess I can take it both ways. Call the Tesla. It's not the worst thing to be called. For sure, for sure. Suddenly it has been disruptive in many ways as well. So I'll take that as a compliment. I'm not talking about the other Musk thing. Forget that. No, I'm not discussing that side of it. So, but yeah, you're absolutely right to be concerned about it. And incidentally, these supply chain issues have impacted other products as well, including the orbit slate. That was expected to also ship by last December and is now shipping actually. We get a start shipping next month.

But <Speech_Male> you were there. <Speech_Male> As we're <Speech_Male> exploring. <Speech_Male> And <Speech_Male> we <Speech_Male> did the more <SpeakerChange> I say we <Speech_Male> show you the question. <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> And everybody <Speech_Female> come and download <Speech_Female> and if you <Speech_Female> see a feature you want, <Speech_Male> let us <SpeakerChange> know about <Speech_Male> it. On Android as well. <Speech_Male> On <Speech_Female> Android as well. <Speech_Female> Same app. One <Speech_Female> app to rule them all. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> Absolutely brilliant. Well, <Speech_Male> listen, thank you again for <Speech_Male> coming on and <Speech_Male> do come back <Speech_Male> soon, tell us about <Speech_Male> everything you know <Speech_Male> when you can. People <Speech_Male> don't realize there's so <Speech_Male> much beta <Speech_Male> software that flies around <Speech_Male> in our community. <Speech_Male> And it's hard to talk about <Speech_Male> certain things because <Speech_Male> either you're <Speech_Male> under an NDA <Speech_Male> or some kind of <Speech_Male> contract or whatever it is, <Speech_Male> you've got to be careful <Speech_Male> what you say, but <Speech_Male> sometimes <Speech_Male> these things <Speech_Male> don't always come out into the <Speech_Male> open right away. But <Speech_Male> we know <Speech_Male> that there's lots of work going on <Speech_Male> in the background, certainly with <Speech_Male> Ira, and of course with <Speech_Male> other <SpeakerChange> applications as <Speech_Male> well. And <Speech_Female> some amazing <Speech_Female> stuff coming up <Speech_Female> across the <Speech_Female> board, I think. <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> <Laughter> I'm just going <Speech_Female> to <SpeakerChange> email <Speech_Female> the orbit people <Speech_Female> and say, okay, <Speech_Female> here you go. <Speech_Female> The <Speech_Female> double tap gang would <Speech_Female> like a demo unit, <Speech_Female> and <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> absolutely. <Speech_Female> Yes. I'm <Speech_Female> really, I <Speech_Female> am looking forward to the <Speech_Female> pricing coming out <Speech_Female> because <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> yeah, <Speech_Female> so am I <Speech_Male> a little bit <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> JJ <Speech_Male> did do <Speech_Male> a bit of slipping for us and he <Speech_Male> came back and said <Speech_Male> that according <Speech_Male> to them, <Speech_Male> according to <Speech_Male> orbit research, it would <Speech_Male> be less than the <Speech_Male> price of a note taker. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> But we don't know what that <Speech_Male> means because we don't always <Speech_Male> take it. <SpeakerChange> It was <Speech_Female> just going to show which <Speech_Female> note taker, because the <Speech_Female> orbit 20 is <Speech_Female> now <Speech_Female> $600, <Speech_Female> I believe. Yes. <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> If you can go <Speech_Female> less than that for <Speech_Female> that machine, <Speech_Male> how many <SpeakerChange> of you think <Speech_Male> it would be cheaper <Speech_Male> than that? I think <Speech_Male> likely this <Speech_Male> will be, I'm going to put <Speech_Male> it out there. I'm going to <Speech_Male> say this is going to sit <Speech_Male> between $1 million 502,000. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> <Laughter> <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> Really? Yes. <Speech_Music_Male> If that's sitting <Speech_Male> at $1500, <Speech_Male> that will be <Silence> a <Speech_Male> bargain for what <SpeakerChange> it is. <Speech_Male> I think so. <Speech_Female> Absolutely. And <Speech_Female> how many will <Speech_Female> you buy? <Speech_Male> Well, I only <Speech_Male> need one, but that <Speech_Male> means nothing. <Speech_Male> You may need one <Speech_Male> computer in general. You've got <Speech_Male> about 15. <Speech_Male> That doesn't stop <Speech_Male> you. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Apple take my money <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> buy it take everything <Speech_Male> away.

"I think that they do, I think all these companies now have got a style to them. You can almost tell which product is which. Which is another interesting. Now they also had, if you are a Braille person, this summer at NFB, there were mock ups of these things. So one was 3D printed and didn't work. And one sort of worked. But they have the orbit. Let me make sure I get this right three 40, which is three lines of 40 cells of Braille. And then these are the 5 that they have the 5 20, which my money is. Well, it was almost a tough question. Yes. That was when I put my hands on him, damn the battery. Come on. But the 5 20 then is 5 lines of Braille 20 cells. Now, that one seemed a little less practical to me. If you were doing a lot of spreadsheets, it would probably be really, really good, but moving from line to line. I just wasn't quite sure about it, but those are now in production. Pricing call for pricing. Don't recall those exactly, but they said they would have full pricing out for those soon. And they looked really interesting. Then they had the graffiti, which they had the pressing on that one. Yeah, yeah, 15,000. The base model. So obviously these are for education. And the graffiti is the Braille display, Braille device that's got the screen that's probably, oh, the size of a 15 inch laptop, at least. Kind of screen. And you can put Braille graphics on it. You can also draw on it and the pressure that you use with your finger determines the dot height, which really took practice. That one I played with for a little bit and just couldn't wrap my head around it. But it's an interesting device. And I'm sure in education, there are tons of uses for it.

"They want to send one for review. There you go. And this would be a fun one to get for review. Because it looked like it was going to be decent to play with. And I said, you know, gee, Troy, I need a Windows machine to test. Well, good luck with that. Janine, I hope you can get that Windows machine. But I think you're right. I think this would be a cool machine to try and test, because it would give us a sense of where this technology can go. And I like the fact that it's modular. Obviously, it's a point. I mean, I don't think anyone suggesting that you'll be able to upgrade the processor inside this thing. You might be able to upgrade the ram, but I don't think you'd be expecting to be able to put a new I 7 in there in a few years. Yeah, I don't think so. But that's like any computer, right? Well, absolutely. And it looked like there were a lot of choices when you bought it as to how much memory how much disk space all of that that you could get with it. So it looked like it was pretty customizable. And then getting other ports if you wanted to buy modular things to put in it. I mean, this is a commercial product, which I thought was really cool that they've adapted. And so I think more and more companies that can use commercial technology and then bolt things onto it. That's pretty impressive. Now, have you ever had your hands on the human weird mantis Q 40? I have not. I have not. And I asked that because they're supposedly similar in terms of style. And that would not surprise me at all because I was looking at this thinking, okay, this reminds me of the old human where oh goodness.

"It would probably break at least one toe if you dropped it. It was a one tour, isn't it? It's a one toe, yeah, it's a little heavy. Are we talking a little pinky tool or are we talking a big? Oh, no, we're talking middle toes. Now we're talking about having broken my middle toe recently. Yeah. This would definitely do it. Little heavy. However, it's very well built. It has, again, the nice rounded corners. Just really nice design. It feels very solid. It doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart. And it's got that single 40 cell line of Braille at the bottom, which is great with the cursor routing keys, and it believe it's 8 Braille. Pretty sure. And you can order it. And I was a little confused about this because I thought initially that you could actually switch it on the fly. But I don't think you can. I think you can order it with either piezoelectric cells or the mechanical Braille cells, which is really cool. And then apparently you can switch those out. Which just freaks me out. Entirely amazed by that, that they have their point where you can actually do that. So if you need the quieter Braille, you can have that. If you like the more mechanical, bigger Braille, more pronounced, I guess, Braille. You can have that. And so that was amazing. And then the ports switching out the ports, being able to do that. I mean, this thing is loaded all around the sides with things. Describing the sides of it would take hours. You go through the description of the thing. And on the frontage facing you is this. Yeah. So did I have a headphone Jack? Absolutely. Beautiful. And I believe it's a headphone microphone Jack. So I think it's just some people don't like that. Are you saying you can swap out that Braille display between the different styles?

"So it's interesting. You say that, Janine, because we were talking to JJ meadow from 80 guys, blind bargains. He loves it. And he was saying how he was quite, let's say, refreshing that it was some of the mainstream big tech actually weren't there this year and how he found it just sort of focusing in on the specialist tech and the accessibility assistive tech companies. He actually preferred it that way. And I think there's something to be said for that. I think in terms of the funding needed to make the conference more inclusive, it would have been good to have the big tech people there. But it was kind of nice to see some of these small products. Smaller companies, let's say, providing getting a chance to show off their wares and show off what they've got. And not only specialized tech, but tech that's meant to work with mainstream tech very easily. Which is often the link these days, isn't it? Most of today's specialist tech with the exception of the Victor Rita, although in some ways, I guess that does know, but for example, with the sense player, let's talk about how that will connect with the hands on the sense player. Did it feel nice? Because I have to say, I just have this thing about him's products that they always just feel really nice. Yes. Yes, this one felt really nice. And it's about the size of a cell phone. I'd say maybe a little smaller, nice, rounded edges, very nice tactile buttons all over the place. All kinds of connections and whatnot and comes with them without the camera. And pricing was for a specialist product. It was interesting. Without the camera, it was a little high. A little high, but then for what it does, you know, I said, okay, you know, I guess I could handle that for what it does, especially with the camera. And I guess this summer they're going to be adding a screen reader to it, which will be fun. Because then you can bring down regular Android apps onto the device like Ira, because it has a 13 megapixel camera. In terms of price, you're looking at what between 650 and $795, U.S..

"Every day. On the gravy. Wonderful channel. Surrounded by amazing broadcasters and people who we are not worthy to be sitting amongst and somehow these still let us do this thing every day, but I think part of the reason is because of what we do, which is that we're real and we're honest and we're raw and we're here to tell you what we think. But equally to have a sensible and actually sometimes see these conversations that needs to be had. And I think that what Julian's recent message sent and has certainly I think resonated with me even today even up till now is that I think it's brought such an important part of this conversation around our capabilities and also recognizing those capabilities. Yes, we can all learn new skills and I used to sit here and on the show and on previous shows I used to say things like, you know what? If we only just, you know, learn a smartphone, just just stop with the nonsense and stop seeing you can't do it just do it. But again, with that level of perspective that we get from Julian, it's like, well, yeah, but maybe it's not possible to do that. You are guilty of seeing that as well, by the way, I'm throwing you under the bus. Thank you. Thanks for that. But you did. And so did I. We used to see this a lot. In fact, I used to get quite stand with people and say, look, you know what? Unless there's a physical reason why you can learn this, I don't really know what the problem is. You can learn how to use this, this is the smartphone, this iPhone, the Android, whatever it is. I still think you should do it. I know you do. And I think that's fine to say that. I think, but what I would also say is that we need to also remember where people are.

He was a guy who developed it, he did during the pandemic him and his friend. They put this together with a created and accessible or a way to accessibly play flight simulator. Yeah, that's right.

Oh, now when he told me that he was in Canada because he was having a conversation back and forward and he said, yeah, I got the sense player it's not I don't think officially out in Canada yet, but I've got one and I thought, oh, that's interesting. He's in Canada. Oh yeah, do you know what? I mean, yeah, he's an English man living in Canada, right? Nothing unusual about that. That's fine. Yes. So he comes on and we have to chatting. And he's got a Canadian accent. And I'm thinking, well, that's not the same guy. To see other guys sounded so British because he sounded English in my head, right? Yes.

Elon Musk Intends to Fire 75% of Twitter Employees
"Let's talk about a Twitter because The Washington Post has a what was supposed to be a bombshell revelation, which was causing a lot of consternation at The Washington Post and at Twitter. Documents detail plans to gut Twitter's workforce. And it turns out that Elon Musk in a disclosure to investors. Had said, or has said that he plans to fire and get this 75% of all Twitter employees. Now Twitter has thousands of employees. Well, 7500 employees. So firing 75% of them would bring Twitter as force staff down to just 2000 employees. Pretty much most people would be would be canned. Now, you would think that The Washington Post might raise questions about things like, well, is it possible to maintain a large digital platform like Twitter with this reduced workforce or are there a lot of people twiddling their thumbs to Twitter? What is in fact the optimum workforce for Twitter? But no, The Washington Post doesn't go there. Here's how they deal with it. A change likely to have major impact on its ability to control harmful content end quote. The word about censorship. So here you have the paradox of media organizations that have become vociferous lobbyists for censorship. Why? Because essentially they all have a point of view and they want to shut down the rival point of view. Nothing could be more.

This is WTO P news. 9 23 now a follow-up to a recent story about 7 D.C. police officers taken off the street after being accused of misconduct, an internal investigation reportedly found they confiscated illegal guns without trying to arrest the people who had the weapons, D.C. police chief Robert Conti said it was a community complaint against the department early last month that triggered an investigation into the confiscation of guns by officers at the department's 7th district station. Now the police union is responding, it accuses the chief of holding what it calls a bizarre news conference. The union says what the officers did may not have been wrong because it's routine to seize guns from suspects, place them in evidence and then work to build a stronger case against the suspects before making arrests. They also say the chief himself has advised officers to move in a more intelligence led strategy, the union says its members have done everything they can to follow these inconsistent and conflicting set of rules.

It looks like researchers have finally agreed that coffee for the most part is a good thing for you. So the question is, can you drink an optimum amount of coffee per day to have it benefit you, but not hurt you? Well, it looks like Harvard researchers have found the answer. The answer is yes. Three cups of regular coffee a day do good for your brain health. They help you out. Anything more doesn't help. Anything less helps a little bit, but is not optimum. So there you have it. You want to be a good coffee drinker. You want to help your brain and drink coffee at the same time? Three cups of regular coffee per day. So if you really want coffee to benefit you, well, you may want to look into that Harvard study. Three cups of coffee a day. Could you manage that? I don't know if I can. Three is too much.

eComm's False Equivalency For CCPA & GDPR With GetEmails Founder/CEO Adam Robinson
"For anybody who is new to the podcast and hasn't read the hundreds to thousands of pages of regulations. Walk us through the cliff notes. Version of what. Those two pieces of regulations actually say. So they're both about disclosure to the consumer of data that's being collected about them. They're both about setting up infrastructure that allows the consumer to see that data setting up infrastructure that allows the consumer to have that data deleted. And that's kind of above all else the spirit of both of them by the way marketers. I'm sure shake their heads. The sort of ops people the way that all of that was decided by the governments that it had to be achieved. It's just huge infrastructure pains in the acids right so everybody went through that. Gdp are and a lot of the stuff that you had to go through on that side of things on the disclosure side of things was the same for ccpa where there's a big difference is gdp. Art is actually a consent for first party data collection on the internet policy. Meaning it's opt in period in order for anyone to collect data on a european citizen. You must have a first party. Opted to collect it to use it what that is simply not the case with. Ccpa in cpr in cpr is just like the second sort of evolution of cpa is not in optimum for data collection policy. It is opt out policy. The consumer has the option to opt out of you collecting their data. But it doesn't touch. This issue of optimal marketing does not touch this issue of opt in to sort of have my data shared. It doesn't touch that stuff at all so listening to what our service does which we basically pass our customers plain text emails of people that visited their website but didn't fill out a form. A very common reaction is while. How is that legal in the weeks. Explain that is legal. I can't spam sanderson people say well it's definitely not ccpa compliant well. It actually is if you make the appropriate privacy policy changes on your website for most people what they did to be compliant with gdp are suffices in by the way. I'm not a lawyer so this is not legal advice. But the biggest difference between the two and the biggest confusion. I see people making is the assumption that since gdp are is opt in in ccpa is the gdp are the us. We have to do the same things that we did for judy. Pr we may not have made the changes for for us audience. We have do the same things for our. Us partner website. It's just not true.

Aviation Week's Check 6 Podcast
Giving Autonomous Aircraft a Moral Compass
"Hello and welcome to this week's check six podcast. I'm greg mark aviation executive editor for technology. Today we're going to ask. Will we ever be able to trust an autonomous aircraft. Nasa is working to ensure that we can and joining us to find out. How a my colleague. Guy norris aviation weeks western. Us bureau chief and our special guest. Marc scoop the principal investigator for at nasa strong flight research center in california a lot about tony and artificial intelligence in aviation particularly in the context of urban taxes an unmanned cargo aircraft. Tony and i are not same thing but they are potentially very complimentary using machine learning to train algorithms to automate takeoff and landing autonomously plan optimum flightpaths recognized obstacles and avoid collisions and identify safe. Landing sites along a route has tremendous potential to make aviation safer. But there is a problem. And here i will grossly oversimplify impart to avoid showing my own lack of real knowledge. The software used in today's avionics such as those pilots and digital flight controls is deterministic. That means the same in input always produces the same output and three rigorous analysis on testing. We can prove to the regulators like the faa that our system will always be safe machine. Learning algorithms non deterministic. Same input doesn't always produce the same output because of some change in the environment inner around an aircraft. It might decide to turn left. not right. And because we fully understand what goes on inside a machine learning algorithm. No amount of testing can guarantee to the regulated. The system will always behave safely. So how do we safely unlock all those great capabilities. That me and i promise.
Lakers Nation Podcast
Los Angeles Lakers Suffer Disastrous Loss to Sacramento Kings
"An unbelievably bad performance by the Lakers and a game in which the kings were missing some of their better players, including de'aaron Fox and the Lakers just kind of did what they've done. All season long and turned the ball over too much and just flat-out miss open shots. And we saw that happen time and time again. Let's get into the stands real quick before I start taking your questions and comments here. So the Kings shoot, 45% from the field, not great. But they shot 36% from 3 and ninety percent from the line. That makes a difference compared to a Lakers team who shot 51% from the field and 25% from 3 and 71% for the line. If you can't shoot, you can't win really tough to win games when you can't put the ball in the basket. Again at The Rim, okay? 51% off. You can't hit 3s in the modern NBA. You're in big big trouble in the Lakers again, 25%. That's the game. That's the game right there. If you shoot league-average, even just league-average from 3, you win this game by a margin but instead, the Lakers are missing a lot of their three-point attempts tonight. And then the turnovers 21, turnovers for the Lakers. Again, cannot do that, that's a problem. They've had most of the Season. At one point, the worst team in the NBA when it came to turnovers. Haven't checked it recently, but they are still up there. They've been really, really bad. Turning the ball over for most of the season. They did get better for a little bit there. They got a little bit better. Dead shooter was starting to rain things in a little bit it wasn't being an Optima optimistic password so much tonight that was not the case. They completely regressed in the turnover Department. It got really bad there and then the other piece to this the offensive rebounds 11:00 to 11:00. 11:00 offensive boards for the Lakers 11 offensive boards for the Kings. You can't do that. If you are having a front line that has Andre Drummond and Anthony Davis on it. Plus LeBron James, you have to absolutely dominate unquestionably down, Nate the glass,

The Concept Of Metabolic Flexibility With Robb Wolf
"Let's dive a bit deeper into metabolic health in general. I would say the us stephanie. Facing metabolic health. Dem's it's become so so tough that you know. Diabetes is on the rise diabetes type two and obesity is on the rise and aloft. It can be let back to metabolic flexibility or the lack of it. Maybe can talk about more about the concept actually pollick expolit the actually means and why it is important. Yeah being metabolic flexible in in kind of a textbook definition really speaks to the ability to use a variety of different fuel sources that mainly really carbohydrate and fat though although by extension ketone very seamlessly with with little drama little difficulty really not a big change in in performance or perception. My wife is an example of somebody who's very metabolic flexible. She can go kito goes in. She goes out no headache. Lethargy no problems She can eat a fair amount of carbs and doesn't suffer. You know a really crazy blood. Sugar excursion she doesn't get like blood. Sugar crashes unless she really you know if she a ghost for the extra large mexican meal of beans and rice and tortillas and you know and right and then she can feel kinda rough from that like she can overdo it but she needs to really try to do that and in researching some material for my second book wired to eat. We did some side by side. Comparisons where i would eat say fifty grams of carbohydrate from white rice. She would eat the same amount. She's a good thirty or forty pounds lighter than i am but she would still her blood. Sugar would over a two hour period of time. Never really get above about one hundred and fifteen hundred twenty you know. Throughout the course of that whole experience was mind would top off round one. Ninety one ninety five. I would then suffer. Really cloud rafic crash blurred vision cognitive problems. I mean i was. I was kind of a disaster on that. And so this was you know it was cool in that it gave a little bit more concrete explanation for what i'd seen clinically. Which is that. This person seems to run great on carbs. This person doesn't and you know here's there's kind of like an actual yeah and just to be clear. You're not diabetic. North korea pre-diabetic new. But i think if i ate carbs pretty consistently i would get there rather rather rapidly. Yeah or or the minimum. I would suffer a lot of deleterious health effects. Light like a a vision problems and and whatnot. Yeah yeah so. How do you explain now. Like metabolic flexibility. Like how does it cure or is it just something that some people have in some. Don't i not entirely sure. I think that there's multiple factors at play here for sure. Genetics is a piece of this. People who have more of the emily's gene more frequency of the emily's gene seemed to do better with carbohydrates. They seem to digest them better but they also have a more favourable insulin response. It seems to keep the insulin. Or the blood glucose levels within tighter parameters and. Here's an interesting thing that i For me it was kind of this. This pretty deep inside. I don't know if it is for other people but an individual like myself to have good blood glucose levels after he reasonably low carb like probably below fifty grams of total carbs. Day sometimes more. Like if i'm really active or whatnot but it in that situation. Abbott pretty consistent blood glucose response throughout the day. People were very metabolic flexible or very insulin. Sensitive they looked like i look like eating significant amounts of carbs. And that's really the big difference there in the people who eat significant amounts of carbs and don't suffer the blood sugar crashes which then lead into the over over consumption of food writ. Large i think is where we kind of see the distinction between folks Twenty years ago. I was definitely a bit indie. Insulin hypothesis camp. I think over the over the course of time. I've i've come to the conclusion to. Yeah chronically elevated. Insulin levels are definitely a problem but insulin. In and of itself is not the primary driver of of Say type two diabetes and insulin resistance and whatnot you kind of a classic gary tops approach I don't buy into that but at the same time ni- fully on board with say like it fits your macrophages crowd. That will just say so. Long as composition doesn't really matter you just need to keep control of your portions and a free living world free living population. How you keep control of portions is really important. Not that many people have the discipline or the neuroses to do basically like a figure competitors lifestyle like that. That's a big lift for a lot of folks and so finding a way that people can spontaneously match caloric intake and output. I think is kind of where the ticket is. And that's where people kind of find own their their metabolic flexibility optimum belay yet. He asked a really good question. I did a poor job of answering it at you. Know what is metabolic flexibility. What goes into a defining it genetic so definitely a big piece. The gut microbiome appears to be a big piece. The caveat to that is we know it's important. I don't think very many people have any idea what to do to improve that. Like probiotics works for some people pre baddeck fiber work for others and for some people all of those absolute disaster and do nothing. So i think there's a lot of Charlatanism that goes around the gut microbiome. We know absolutely that. It's important. But i think the only thing that we can really hang our hat on is if we do something and has a clinical outcome of improving gut else and improving metabolic flexibility. That's great but we're not really at a great predictive place with that like i. I think there's a lot of goofiness that on the testing and whatnot. There is some lesser known or considered things like iron overload particularly in in men or postmenopausal women excess iron accumulation in the body is a pro oxidant in that pro oxidative status can increase inflammation and increased inflammatory state Degrades insulin sensitivity and by extension the Metabolic flexibility so. There's some big picture things that we know. Feed into metabolic flexibility and again. I think that we have burying degrees of control over those different lever.

The Gift Of Mentoring With Doug Lawrence
"All right. Well, welcome back. It's a podcast part 2 with Doug Lawrence and we're going to talk a little bit about some author writing things. So Doug with this book that you wrote. What were some things that you learned and things that you're going to do different for your second book, you know, the biggest thing that I've I found with writing the first book The Gift of mentoring and now I'm working on this second one gets the whole time factor. It's being disciplined enough to carve out so much time a day to actually sit down and and write down. Um, cuz what I find is that it's very easy with everything else that's going on. It's very easy to get pulled in different directions and and then the end of the day comes in the office workers. You haven't even cracked, you know, any writing or anything like that. So for me the it's definitely the discipline that's required to make sure that you have Time allocated on a daily basis to write the book and what do you do to make sure you have that time. Do you have any tricks or you know, what do you do in or what are your goals what to you as a good amount of time? I think you know and actually I had this conversation earlier this morning was one of my close colleagues to me. So do you have time carved out in your calendar to do your writing today? And that's the big thing that I need to do is if it's not in my calendar, then it probably won't happen. And so, you know driving I would say even if it's just an hour is just putting an hour in the calendar, you know to be able to say okay from 9 a.m. To 6 a.m. I'm going to write and probably earlier in the day is better cuz as the day goes on, you know, your Creative Juice and the tank kind of diminishes so it's it's being able to log. Yeah, what's the optimum time? And then how much of that Optima long time do I need to to carve out and make sure that I do that on a regular basis and I've I've been negligent doing that and all that does is you have people that are you know wanting to read the next book and you just keep pushing the data out eventually they're going to lose interest in you know, following and and waiting with this next book and I do that too. I think a lot of authors do finding that time blocking put your mind in the right mental state that okay at 9:00. I'm in the right. So, okay, I'll take care of the dogs get some deep and then your brain gets in gear. We were talking a little bit before about like the the Flow State once you kind of it's It's Pavlov's dog, you know you train yourself. Okay. I'm ringing the bell time to start thinking about writing and you start salivating words and you go off. I know a lot of authors say oh I struggle to write a struggle to write off. And it's like well, when did you plan the right? Well, I was going to try in the morning or I was going to try after lunch. They don't actually tell themselves. I have to do this and I think becomes a big problem. Yeah, most definitely I just going to say I envy people that can pack up all this stuff and move away to someplace and spend you know, two months writing a book. I actually those are the people I really envy that just it's not going to happen that way for me. So do you write at home? Do you write do you have a computer? Do you write on like a yellow pad you go to a coffee shop. What's your what's your way of writing? Yeah for me. It's I have my laptop computer and I do everything on it and I've been writing at home. I've team to kind of take taken over the dining room table and that's kind of my office so to speak so I I sit here and I experiment sometimes I put a little bit off. Nice soft music off in the in the in the background and just kind of use that to be able to get myself in the right frame and mood. Sometimes music is the last thing that I need to home and I need kind of peace and quiet but I do I've done while the gift of mentoring was written at home. And I've also I've like I said, I'm partway through the content and research for the mental health book and it's all been at home. Do you try and write every single day or do you work during the week and Thursday? How much time do you spend every day riding? I would you know just saw the computers to saying I think that if we as writers if we put too much Pressure on us on ourselves to say okay today you need to write for three hours chances are it's not going to happen. So what I prefer to do is to long do bite sized chunks of time. So say, okay. I'm going to work diligently for an hour from 9 to 10:00 and but I'm going to try and do that on a daily basis and then I may take a break on say on the weekend where I don't right so that I can allow my head to clear itself of whatever garbage. I've been packing around all week, but allow myself to clear off and on top of it all to be able to still provide, you know to be a service to people that are counting on you to be their Mentor. I want to make sure that I have time set aside for that as well.

The Big Story
Who are we vaccinating now? Who should be next?
"Jordan heath rawlings. This is the big story. Dr. peter uni sits on the covid science advisory table and he co-authored a new report. That suggests that better. Way i mentioned. Hello peter why don't you start out for those of us who aren't familiar with it by explaining. What is the covid. Nineteen science advisory table. Who's on it. What role does it play. The science advisory table is grew ball scientists and Senior 'em health systems decision makers that advised the province ministry of health and elected decision-makers vera bar with forty five people meanwhile but we also have several subgroups for instance a subgroup of congregate settings on behavioral sciences etc. The me twice a week typically So we spend. It's the best part of Three hours together every week which helps associate to keep to develop a continued common sense of reality and we meet once a week with the health. Coordination table and half multiple meetings are more talk basis with various representatives of the different ministries Public health on -tario on that. And other stakeholder groups can you outline before we get into this new report. How ontario is currently approaching vaccine distribution. And did you guys advise the government on their initial plan. B didn't the initially advice on the vaccination rollout bouts galt relatively as strongly involved when discussing the importance of speed in vaccination of Long term care home residents and staff and which also goltz incorporate in the strategy of the province the current strategy is focusing on different woman apple groups as i implied already one of them. Of course the most important one is long term care home residents we had Roughly fifty percent of the deaths Covid nineteen deaths in the province long-term care home residents and they're glad to report back that that this really went extremely well and that we really now see the impact of Covid nineteen vaccines in this. Very vulnerable grew the challenges. We had which were big changes in the province actually have nearly completely been eliminated there at an ulta groups that are important including a frontline healthcare workers again this is important because they can't get continuously exposed but also because you need to make sure that the healthcare workers are actually able to work obviously and not part of an outbreak that could result in prolonged isolation and quarantine and then chester in a decrease in the workforce that we currently urgently need and the the current surge strategy also focuses on those who are aged eighteen boffin again. This makes perfect sense because that's the people who were most likely to die except for people in the long term care home see respective of their age so this all makes perfect sense where we are right now and that's why we're coming in actually with this new report so everything that we're doing already makes sense but isn't necessarily the optima way and this is what your new report gets sent. Iran this is correct. Yes so vault we now just. They're trying to address. Is the fact that that this pandemic all over. The world is socio economically driven very clearly. Life is unfair and this also halts for the impact of this pandemic. those people are most vulnerable live in precarious living situations. Get the chop stall on behalf of all of us you know. Make sure that we actually have act are able to buy you know foods on the shelves in the supermarkets. That's those people are most heavily burdened by this pandemic and what we know ways that the pandemic is heavily concentrated in terms of its burden on ten to twenty percent of the neighborhoods in the province and at this has been historically the case and assist case. Most of the time in life you with the past is the best predictor of the future. Even if we would not like this to be the case and what we know is also for in in terms of short-term or maidstone predictions that this continues to be the case host neighborhoods that were most heavily burdened in the past. They haven't reached an herd immunity yet. they're not sufficiently protect against against infections. And they will continue to have freely. High numbers of cases of hospitalizations viseu missions deaths. If you're not being careful and just look into how to protect these neighborhoods best and that's where it is. Report comes in. We try to describe the magnitude of the problem and try to outline solution. That actually looks into two different dimensions. Here one continues to be h really important about the second dimension and basically then just across tap these. Two dimensions against each other is neighborhood the residence.

"We're here of course the talk about The new websites and the recruitment drive that reaches has been on. But you know a good place to start might just be canola ing how difficult it's been for the news industry across the board over. The last twelve months reaches is no exception. We've seen reported figures around thousand staff followed in april. Five hundred fifty jobs announced would be in july. So there's been a lot of tough decisions for you over the last twelve months right. Yeah very much. So so many businesses so a significant change in in revenues results that pump dynamic on the course of the country looking down by what you don't know when that happens in Lifetime hopefully events is is how long it's going to go. Full dated in in some ways he still going about. Said you know scale really helped us whether the stolen in the way that Lawsuit companies have struggled so we go to the trump mission project which so things reach y which was to get stories to multiple I suppose journalists working working But it's not that the change was a huge change on the radio A tough to pay for which which took a lot out to people. Yeah told me about some of those decisions on. Why they will made so quite simply. It was a case of the pandemic documentary. Also of the Eighteen thousand newcastle office. And boris johnson. Issue taes kinda tried to work from home order and then within seven days. That have become a leave. Your house one hour a day for exercise older and the hold of the country's economy went into the states state of shock. Appetizing dried up. We had to. We have to respond. The first lock was what maybe twelve weeks. Aside but the the the shock was seismic lots of businesses didn't reopen put teams of genesis under the functions aung Whether work at literally stopped. It's i've never really filthy So they twenty as of two journalists if the world stops your ability to report on the world stops certain extents as well so s boats being an example wellstone another area as as well And then it became clear that the impact. It was having on on the basement that we would need to We would need to restructure that led to the Pronouncements which as well documented included a number of our journalists since then things have gotten better national clients have continued to spend interesting joined. The second lockdown In november even though in many ways it was very similar to the first one. I think a lot of businesses hit become used to how to continue trading during a lockdown periods. And not certainly out. So yeah so how. How was that felt across national and local titles however those decisions spread out. We looked at each title. And what tout. Where can we do things more efficiently. Certain things may in some places some edits to coulter stop doing will do less of an it was taken a taco by top basis. I think one of the things did prove was for a long time. We've had people questioning externally within the industry. Rather all you just on a chase for pageit's which would strongly we don't just do about collecting patriots at any cost. But if you look at the life network which is the puck. I think we're gonna talk about most today in in twenty ten. That was one hundred million pages a month if the started. Twenty twenty one eight hundred million pages a month that scale both resilience which meant the otherwise could be much much worse if we weren't reaching as many people as we were so in many ways the scan of the pages that we can even regional news prevented it from being from being a lot worse reached new music case of how to ensure we can. We continue doing what we doing within the budget afforded to us. As a result of the changed economic landscape us as far as the the optimum question was what they sought decisions a help or a hindrance. I mean you've staved off the financial pressures at the cost of thinning. Your ranks help or hindrance david.

You're kind of an interesting example here. Qena you're qualified. Journalists turned commercial right of some eighteen years. Tell me what. Why did you make that decision to switch say. Didn't come obvious to me. It didn't come easy and not to come quickly either. So i wanted to be a journalist. I wanted to work with the papers and the tv actually When i graduate. 'cause i graduated new media media to specifically digital journalist And i was very to go in in the mainstream media but but my university professors they were all. They warned us all that. The industry's changing jobs in mainstream media. Aunt that freely available at even if they are the conditions aren't that great And probably not even permanent or in a long term situation and digital in the meantime the internet is exploding expanding and we were a skills are writing skills are being hired to work for websites and blogs and things like seo was a new thing that was coming the kospi suspect in two thousand five indeed.

John nissim. ben. I'd want to do something with this. Become really passionate about meeting loved writing at the infrastructure teaching. I taught journalism and catholic colleges for seven years. Most of my students have not gone into a wet can mainstream media but indicated that more technical side of things brave and some of them have gone on to become content marketers and following my footsteps instead of nineteen four immediate for the public at nah. You're basically writing for businesses than that specific target audiences but you do have your similar skill. Set amvest dotted doing that. Foam night twenty thirteen. I went into content marketing full time. Because i saw that perks pay was good a and i get to use my skill set to do what i wanted to do. And i and also create a nice things that blogs and videos in podcasts and things do all those things but it's just a commercial twist does not for the public interest Okay so let's what i really want you to do for me. Qena is blow open. This term content marketing and really demystify. Where where where. Where can we stop. Search content marketing recent phenomenon. It's recent it's a discipline and it's branched out from digital. Marketing is similar to news making in lot of ways. It's just that the purpose is different so in news when we constructing both construct so under constructing creating a piece of content or creating a piece of news we are constructing something we ought telling a story and we are trying to sell this story to people the away deferred with news which find to tell a story to make people aware of some incident on something that's factual that's really happened. And it's in the public interest them to know what the news piece is about but in the piece of content. What we're doing is we are informing people and not just consult people at large but take your audience. But we're trying to tell the look you have a problem. His product or a solution. Seth is that can meet. That problem. solved that problem for you. And why did you try out. Why didn't you consider it. You know. I mean not forcing them to buy the product. We're not being fails the tool. We're just telling the consider the i'd sing problems. Pain points because marketing types paint points. And then they could. Oh this is interesting. Then they are hooked than they want to know more about it maybe be video. Maybe info graphic. Maybe another block post. You know maybe a white paper be people. Don't want to be advertised at. Don't wanna story they want to be. They want to be engaged. And when you do that you've engaged them. You got the interest when you've caught the interest you can then okay. You're not interested in. Why don't you consider talking to my colleagues in sales and they will then take you through and you pass it to the sales team you take on yourself. If you think that you can sell it it depends on the product rating service but The angle in content marketing is purely commercial. That's something that you've got to bury.
