Thank you, Speaker. It's my pleasure to rise in the House today to deliver my member statement. Recently I visited Burlington's Grove for Change Urban Farm, launched in 2020 by Bunchbury Connections along with combined contributions from the Molinero Group, nurture growth, garden and vee, private donations and a dedicated team of volunteers. The Urban Farm grew and donated over a thousand pounds of food to the local Burlington Food Bank in 2022. Located on a vacant lot in downtown Burlington, the Urban Farm started out as a two-year pilot project and has now been extended for a third year. The farm teaches the wider community about growing and harvesting food. It promotes relaxation, education and biodiversity in the centre of our community. Connecting people to nature, the farm intentionally promotes and provides evidence-based positive mental health programs, workshops and volunteer opportunities. With access to the right resources, people become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. The Urban Farm is a place in the city to escape, to promote food diversity and to tackle food insecurity. Thank you. Thank you, Speaker. Education workers make our public schools great. They clean our yards, they maintain our buildings, they supervise our kids at lunchtime, they clean our classrooms, they help our youngest kids and our kids with disabilities. We know them by their first name, they are part of our school community. Education workers earn an average of $39,000 a year. Many work two jobs to make ends meet. Some have to go to food banks because they pay doesn't go far enough, especially in this inflationary crisis we have. Many are leaving the profession. I want our kids in class. Everyone wants our kids in class. No one wants a strike. That is why our schools need to receive the funding that they need so our kids can get an excellent education. That is why this government needs to stop violating our chartered protected rights of all workers and stop this bullying behaviour and get back to the negotiating table. That's why this government needs to use the surplus that they have in their budget to negotiate a fair contract with workers because that is the right thing to do for our kids. It's the right thing to do for workers and it's the right thing to do for the people of Ontario. Thank you. Member Statement, the member from Haliburton, Coortha, Leeks. Thank you Madam Speaker. I rise in the House today in recognition of 4-H Show Your Colours Day. I am proud to be sporting my 4-H green and appreciate all my colleagues who've joined me today to support an organisation that has shaped numerous lives across Ontario. Today we celebrate all the incredible things 4-H youth have done and are doing in their communities and how the experience they gained through this program enables them to be responsible, caring and contributing young leaders. For more than 100 years 4-H programs across Ontario have shaped future leaders and great citizens and this is why they have been one of the most well respected youth serving organisations in Canada. I want to recognize and appreciate the tireless efforts of 4-H leaders who work to provide valuable learn to do by doing experience for members of all ages. 4-H Ontario plays such an important role in leadership development in our province so to 4-H organisers and volunteers please keep up the fantastic work you do to enable young people to pledge their head, heart, hands and health to better living. I wish everyone a very happy 4-H Show Your Colours Day and I'm a proud 4-H member too. Thank you. I'm going to recap the actions of this Conservative government in the last 48 hours in this legislature. On Monday the government preemptively tabled back-to-work legislation for education workers using the notwithstanding clause yet again to trample over the constitutional rights of workers. Then the government announced at the very last minute that the debate on back-to-work legislation will begin the next day at 5am just like that. The same afternoon we were all scheduled to debate the new government bill on post-secondary institutions but they simply decided with no notice to adjourn the House just like that. The following day a debate and vote on a motion to double social assistance rates that was scheduled for 3pm got changed to 1pm sending stakeholders who had planned to be in the House to participate scrambling and rescheduling their day on very short notice just like that let people figure it out. This government creates so much unnecessary chaos and disruption. The same disruptive pattern we see in our education system, in our healthcare system and all public services in everything that this government is meant to take care of. Speaker, I am worried. I'm worried that this government is running unchecked with no regard for the constitution, no respect for rights, with no compassion and with no basic operational competency. They're making decisions with no consideration that their decisions have repercussions on people's lives. They act like they're some billionaire who thinks they can do what they feel like. Thank you, Member Statements. The Member for Brampton West. Thank you so much, Speaker. November is Diabetes Awareness Month. During Diabetes Awareness Month, it is important that we continue to raise awareness and continue to make life better for those impacted by diabetes. Diabetes is a medical condition that affects 11.7 million Canadians across the country. Diabetes is a disease in which one's body does not produce, provide or cannot properly use the insulin in which makes which causes blood glucose levels to be too high. Mr. Speaker, Sir Frederick Benton, a Canadian who alongside Charles Best discovered insulin, which marked a crucial step towards improving life for those impacted with diabetes. We come a long way with the progress of new medical management and technology that assists with blood glucose monitoring. However, Mr. Speaker, more work can still be done to improve the lives of people living with diabetes, and that is why it is crucial that we continue to raise awareness and work toward finding a cure. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Next, the member for Toronto Centre. Thank you, Speaker. I'm proud to rise to share my member statement today, especially as the MPP for Canada's largest US LGBT community. I want to acknowledge that a week ago, Canada marked the 30th anniversary of a landmark LGBTQ human rights case led by Michelle Douglas, a young military officer who took on the national defence N1. In 1992, Michelle Douglas and NDP MP Sven Robinson worked together to put together an end to the LGBT purge, a shameful 40-year period history in our nation's history. That purge lasted until 1990s. LGBT members of the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCMP and the Federal Public Service were systematically discriminated against, harassed and oftentimes fired as a matter of sanctioned practice. The careers and self-esteem of a generation of young people were destroyed, and estimated 9,000 victims were denied benefits, severance, pensions and opportunities and promotions if they managed to keep their jobs. This horrifying period in Canadian history also resulted in suicide, HIV, fear, depression, PTSD, addiction, disownment, criminalisation, rejection, isolation and erasure, and many other painful and enduring experiences. It was an honour to be invited to sit at the head table with Michelle and her family at the 30th anniversary gala this weekend. It is now my honour to invite all the members of the Ontario Legislative Assembly to join me in publicly acknowledging and applauding Michelle Douglas for her herstry making history in making Canada a more inclusive and just country. Thank you. Member Statements, the member for Glen Gary Prescott Russell. Thank you speaker. As many of my colleagues have done, I would like to begin by congratulating those who have been elected during the municipal elections in my writing. Some are new, some have been re-elected. I would like to congratulate you all and to wish you all the best in municipal politics. Also, I would like to congratulate all of those who ran for office. I would also like to take the chance to thank my colleagues who need me, director of the parliamentary assembly of Francavonie. Following this nomination, I will be leading a new role that will allow me to promote Francavonie in America. I was in the 34th regional assembly of Francavonie in Europe, accompanied by my homologues of different European countries. We had several very interesting discussions about freedom of speech and several other topics that are also a priority for us Ontarians. We will continue to promote Francavonie at parliamentary level throughout the world. Member for Haldemann Norfolk. As I told members of this chamber yesterday, I have the unique position of being able to see legislation before this House from an independent lens. I can be genuine in my approach and I have nothing to protect or defend but those interests of my constituents. I'm a big cranky with what's going on here. Who here actually cares about our education workers? Who here actually cares about our students? We have one side of this House who cares about getting even with unions and is again threatening the notwithstanding clause. And we have another side that encourages political action. I will give credit to my colleague from Guelph who yesterday encouraged this House to work together and I was heartened to hear the negotiations have picked up again. I do find it convenient that there's been all sorts of talk the past few days about the need to have our students in school. Many of the ministers opposite will know that throughout the pandemic I was the person coming to them very concerned about the mental health of our young people. My concerns at the time fell on deaf ears. A word of warning to our education workers.  And at the same time the union will have given this government exactly what they wished for. Merry Christmas. To this government, to QP, stop using some of the province's lowest paid workers and stop using our kids as political pawns. Speaker, it's time every person in this chamber comes together to tone down the rhetoric, to get the job done. In my maiden speech I asked members of this House to do politics differently. Today would be a good day to start. Thank you. Member statements? The member for Kitchener South Pespler. Thank you, Speaker. I'm standing today to celebrate the rebranding of a wonderful organisation from Cambridge. It used to have the very geographically long name of the family counselling centre of Cambridge and North Dumfries which didn't exactly roll off the tongue. This is a group that started in 1940 in Cambridge in response to the economic problems and grief that families were suffering as a result of World War II. It began with knitting socks and making meals and then expanded becoming the geographically long name in the 1960s. During my campaign I had the pleasure of meeting their director, Cameron Dearlove. Our first meeting was supposed to be half an hour and I was there for about two hours. An absolutely wonderful man who does incredible work in the community. One of the exciting things this group does is work with recovery support of housing which as a crown I really enjoyed as their entire concept is that those struggling with addictions do not succeed unless they are in supportive housing. They had the honour of in the past four years having had 99 people go through their 30 bed program with 70 of those remaining in stable housing today. Their rebranding is now to porch light counselling services with the idea being that when you come home from a long journey seeing that someone has left the porch light on for you shows that you are home and that somebody cares and I want to congratulate them for the work they do. Thank you. Member Statements. Member Statements. Introduction. Oh I'm sorry no there's a Member Statement I apologize. I rise today to recognize the important contribution of Woodgreen Community Services to my constituency of Scarborough Centre. Today in the gallery we have about 13 members here from the organization and I want to recognize them for the work that they have been doing. Woodgreen who have served close to 40,000 people each year in one of Toronto's largest social service agency and is the largest non-minicipal affordable housing provider. Woodgreen has over 75 programs and service that tackles the social determinants of health. And help vulnerable population get out of poverty and homelessness and into education, employment and sustainable housing. These services include helping people to find safe and affordable housing, supporting seniors to live independently assisting international trained professionals entering the Toronto job market, delivering programs for children youth and assisting newcomers with settling into Canadian life. They also focus on workforce development and creating opportunities for employment and financial empowerment which are key components of social determinants of health. For example, Woodgreen financial empowerment service helped thousands of struggling Ontarian household stabilize and rebuild their financial health. They offer one-on-one counseling, free tax clinic, budget workshops, debt management and other resources to support community members. These financial counseling and support services can create a pathway for different populations including Ontario Works recipient to better understand the financial process of transitioning from social assistance to employment and I want to thank them very much for the work that they have done over the years.


Hello everybody, Andrew Mayesky here with Dental L Mobile Hygiene. So a lot is still changing. So even by the time you watch this video, there might be updated information, but as of today, it is April the 20th. Wow, time goes by so fast. These are the things that they are starting to talk about for dental offices specifically. Now, as of now, we are still not told the date when we can open, but in other parts of the world, dental offices are opening in the middle of May. Actually, a couple weeks into May, they're saying May the 10th. So we're all thinking that we may follow suit hopefully sooner rather than later, but we also understand the need to stay closed if that's what needs to be done, right? But so far what they're talking about is for dental offices, it's not going to be like what we're used to. We're not going to be able to just walk into the waiting room, sit, hang out. We will not be able to see patients every half an hour. Our personal protective equipment, so our PPE will also be changing. It will be so much more than just simply wearing a new mask for every patient and everything else. It will be a lot more than that. What they're saying so far is that dental offices will need an updated infiltration system for the air. So then that way any spatter, any aerosols that will happen and that gets into the air will not just kind of stay there and infect people. You know, I don't know how else to say it, but if you are sick, obviously we will not be able to see you. If you've had any symptoms, we will not be able to see you, that type of thing. They are saying that they will be taking temperatures before every appointment. If you have one, you cannot be seen. They're saying actually too that they will not be allowing patients in the waiting room. So they are talking about seeing a patient at a time or different parts of the offices. So typically in a dental office, you will have your hygiene patients. So patients who are seeing the hygienist only and your dental patients who are seeing the the dentist for cavities, you know, things like that, like crowns, bridges, all of that. So they are saying that that can still happen, but one patient will be the other side of the office and the other patient at the other side. For those, for those offices though that do have a closed system, they can be seen in each room, but we will have to be careful with having patients leave at the same time, patients that need to go to the washroom. We will have to have special precautions for that. If you guys have ever seen dental offices where it's completely open, well, they're not going to be allowed to do that. They will have to close it up some way. I don't actually work in a dental office anymore. So now more than ever, I am so pleased to be able to offer mobile dental hygiene services. So if you haven't seen me yet, I go right to your home. So I have everything that a dental hygienist would have in your dental office, but I come to you. So I have the air, the water, the instruments, all of that, but I come right to you.  You will not have to worry about coming in at a certain time where there's no other patients there because you will be the only patient in your own home. And you are exposed to your own aerosols, basically. I'm the one who's exposed, but I will have all of that PPE on. So that's okay. Like that's what PPE is for to protect myself. So a lot of people are actually sending me a message saying like, do you even want to come back to work? Like we're kind of worried that you're not going to be working anymore after this because you will be terrified. I said, honestly, I'm not terrified at all. I don't take this lightly. No, but I'm, you know, this is what we have signed up for. You know, nurses, the same thing. They, they were not not, I mean, how do I even say it? I'm not trying to make light of this situation, but I can honestly say I'm not terrified because I will have PPE. I will be protected as much as possible. And people still need their teeth cleaned. I have been saying this from day one, people need their teeth cleaned because all of that plaque, all of that bacteria is sitting there. It's not healthy. This is what I tell my patients all the time. I say, you know, for a lot of people, I see them every three months because they just need that to be as healthy as possible. So I am looking forward to getting back to work and making people healthier. So I will do everything that I am told to do. But as I said, coming to your own home will be much less of an exposure to you because you will not have to go to a dental office where, you know, you could potentially be exposed to 20, 30 different people every day, but they are going to have to follow, as I said, certain precautions, but things will always stay in the air. Even with a extra added filtration system, we all know they're not perfect, right? But of course, it does help so much. That is why they're also talking about having every patient rinse with a hydrogen peroxide type rinse to help to limit any of the bacteria that's in the mouth. Because the thing about offices is what creates all of those aerosols is the high-speed handpiece. As a dental hygienist, I do not have that. So I'm limiting that to begin with, which is nice. Other things that create the aerosols, actually, that's pretty much the main thing. The ultrasonic cleaner that we have to pre-clean instruments, that creates a lot of it too, but there's a lid on that. So it's really not too bad. The water spray that will obviously create the aerosols too. I'm just trying to think of other things. But it's mainly the high-speed handpiece. But me, as a dental hygienist, I do not use that. The polisher that I have isn't a high-speed handpiece. It's a specific polisher for polishing the teeth only. It is quiet. It doesn't spin like crazy. So it's actually perfect. So I am very glad to be able to offer that to my patients. But you guys, that's what they're talking about. For new patients too, they're saying that you won't be able to just come in to fill out a medical history. You will have to do it at home or in your car away from other people. You will no longer just be able to walk in to make an appointment. You have to make an appointment first. They will not be seeing patients every half an hour. They will be seeing patients probably every couple hours to make sure we pre-clean, disinfect, sterilize everything, which we do anyway, which we always have been. But now it's just like more than ever before. And for aerosols to remain in the air, it's up to three hours. Because I do have a dental office in my home too. I will probably be seeing one patient every three and a half hours just to really limit those aerosols as much as possible. So for those patients that do still prefer to come to me, they can. And that's even better than let's just say a dental office or anywhere else where you would be exposed to a lot more. But what I plan to do is see a patient every three and a half hours. So if there's any aerosols in the air, you will not be exposed to that because they will be long gone. And still pre-cleaning, disinfecting, all of that. You will still have to make an appointment, but it's just sort of limiting things as much as possible. So what else, you guys? So things will definitely be changing. I will be keeping you guys updated. As of now, they are saying that we will need to be wearing a face shield. An N95 mask probably, but that's still not a for sure yet. Because if we are wearing a shield and a normal mask, how we used to wear, that should protect us from anything anyway. So hopefully that will be good because those N95 masks are not the most comfortable, you guys. So I prefer to just wear the other ones and then be protected with a shield. When I see our kids, I hope that's not going to scare them. I will try to make it as fun as possible. You know, because I don't want to scare any kids, but we do have to follow the rules when they do come out. They are mentioning that I will, we will always have to be wearing long sleeves, which I usually do anyway, not all the time, and to have a new lab coat for every patient. Whereas before, we might have had one for every day, but now for every patient. They're talking about us wearing hair caps and to always have our hair up. So that's new. So they are talking about that. Yeah, so I think we're just going to have to find out together, but I will keep you guys updated, but do not hesitate to ask any questions if you do have any, if I forgot something. But thank you guys so much for watching. Things will be fine. Things will get back to a normal. We just don't know when. So thank you guys so much for watching, and I will see you guys very, very soon. Hopefully.


Agroecology is typically the kind of policy we must now give a priority to because of the triple dividends it can deliver. First, it is far more friendly to the environment because it seeks to mimic nature by, if you wish, trying to close the loops on the farm and try to recycle waste and produce local inputs, reducing the need for external inputs in agriculture. Secondly, it is labor intensive and therefore it can create employment in rural areas and reduce the certification of rural areas at the same time as providing decent jobs. And thirdly, agroecology is a way to provide diverse and nutritious diets to the populations that produce their own food by diversified agriculture in the way agroecology recommends. So, agroecology is very much the direction we need to take in Europe, in which countries, as in developing countries, and it is indeed part of the new strategy from farm to fork that the European Commission has proposed for the European Union in late May of this year. It is, of course, closely linked to food sovereignty because agroecology is very difficult to develop and to support in a context in which food is globalized and in a context in which food producers compete against one another worldwide. Agroecology will only be able to prosper if we reinvest in local markets, in short supply chains and if we boost the supply of locally nutritious foods produced according to agroecological principles with a change in demand in the eating patterns so that the agroecological producers can market their produce in local markets. So agroecology is closely linked to the rethink of global trade relationships in the direction of food sovereignty. Agroecology is in fact very productive per hectare and per resource. It's resource efficient. It uses land and water in a very efficient way. However, it is labor intensive and therefore it is not very competitive in today's world and that is one reason why it is not able to expand very much without more support. But note that agroecology provides many positive externalities. It provides jobs, it provides healthy diets, it restores the environment and restores soil health and biodiversity in particular so if agroecology were rewarded for these services and if industrial agriculture were to internalize the social, environmental and sanitary costs of conventional agriculture then of course the equation would be very different.


does your son have foods that he just absolutely loves and some that he just doesn't like at all you know we haven't found a food he doesn't like really he eats at all he eats it every wow yeah amazing you're good for him yeah like evie evie doesn't like bananas oh really interestingly yeah no that's the one thing that she might change we first gave lewna banana at probably about evie's age about seven eight months he didn't like it too much now he has one every morning that might change yeah it might change well it changed for me when there were things when I was a kid I thought we're disgusting that my dad ate that I love because obviously he's she's just been used to drinking milk yeah and so now he's drinking banana it's a very different texture sure to what he's used to of course so but now this is the jamison all the time hey welcome back to our stupid rags is Edith of Corbin i'm rick also instagram put it in the comment section so the camera's supposed to discuss it's so juicy it's leaking it is indeed leaking on thine pantaloons check today we're acting to an old trailer I think uh I don't know if it's old old but it's older it's called temper it's starring J I mean junior NTR and say these other names it's a telugu film a corrupt police officer has a change of heart when he deals with a case that involves a powerful smuggler family and a brutal gang rape this movie also has a strong message on the loopholes in the judicial system for judgments regarding rape cases the movie was remade into hindi as Simba by Rohit Shetty starring Runbeer Singh so this is the original to Simba I didn't realize Simba was a remake also also Simba that's the story of Simba yeah I had no idea Simba sounds like like I thought it was light-hearted I mean I know he's a cop and I thought it was light-hearted yeah I've seen a bunch of numbers for that I don't know uh but anytime that is a masala film I do know that anytime that four-letter word is used sensitive gotten messages I know you have two anytime the word rape is used we haven't seen this obviously but in advance there may be some triggers in this for anybody who's experienced that so just giving you a four warning we don't know but the fact that this is part of the story wanted to let you know in advance to be on guard and maybe skip if you need to yeah here we go me thank you Jeremy the description kind of I guess this gave you a very Simba vibe in terms of so very over the top all it is I think at least this is from the trailer and what we know about Simba is that the subject matter and what it is about is an investigation into a rape case I don't think it's going to go into detail like Deli crime did or anything like that it's more of like I'm going to find these rapists I'm going to find the rapists and kill them kill them all right let's watch it which is fun we would love that that's very fun to watch it's always fun to see terrible people get brutally murdered yep it is uh so yeah this is just a hoot of you know beat him up break him up hear the bone snaps stab him gouge their eyes out castrate him yeah dance numbers in between did remind me of um uh the Simba uh so I'm looking at Simba Simba the corrupt officer enjoys all the perks of being immortal and unethical police officer until a life changing event forces them to choose okay gotcha so is that is that the similar story to to the original I guess it's like this cop who's basically a piece of shit right and he's like okay now I have to really hunker down exactly yeah he's like okay so I love doing this and getting away with it I'm going to be immoral and then all of a sudden he realizes wow I have the opportunity to do what I do to help people because these guys gang rape this girl and that's awful this isn't fun in games anymore I'm going to go kick some ass yeah it sounds like your life it does yeah very very similar that we since the whole issue of masala came up when I was told that talash was a masala film uh I dare you I was also told legan was a true story how dare you everything you're told uh didn't Lincoln say that on the internet he tweeted that yeah Abraham Lincoln tweeted that he said don't believe everything you read on the internet absolutely um but I was wondering I was like I think we're almost ready to watch masala film like a full like a masala what defines a masala film because I don't know essentially I believe from what I'm told is leave your brain at home okay this will not make sense to you everything will be over the top stylistically stylistically throw everything in the pot you're gonna get 10 000 wonderful dance you're gonna get a rom-com you're gonna get a thriller you're gonna get a murder mystery you're gonna get horror you're gonna get dramatic you're gonna get close up on that and I'm going to kill him okay kind of those big what have we seen that we haven't okay we have yet to really see a masala film okay simba I know is a masala film I hope you're right uh no I am because I fast specifically I was like okay so what would technically define as a masala because I'm waiting for the comments again it's gonna be a breaking bads a masala film apparently uh unless people on twitter are wrong which is never the case never uh Amir Akbar Anthony would also be falling to a masala it's very okay over the top but it's funny it's fun uh try to Akbar me exactly uh I don't know but uh let us know about pink this film uh and how it is down below


Welcome back folks. Dow. Dow Industries finished down 10. Nasdaq up 57. S&Ps up 12.5. We've got a special guest out here today folks, Karen Nolan. Karen is an attorney with Weatherington Hamilton and Tampa, Florida. Now Karen specializes folks in wills, trust, asset protection, making sure that of all the work that you and your family have done that it gets protected. Karen, welcome to TFNN. Hi. Hi, Tom. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you so much for being with us. I really appreciate it. You know, of course, we're in the financial business.  So if you can talk to us a bit, what do you see inside of your practice that all of us should have immediately? Where do we start? Well, I think first and foremost, one of the things that people should do is consider state planning documents that protect you during your lifetime. State planning, oftentimes we think about what happens to our assets after we pass and who we want them to go to. But, you know, if we become incapacitated or disabled, then we need someone that's going to be able to step in and take care of us and take care of our assets and make sure that they are utilizing our assets to take care of us. Yes, I got it. Okay, cool. So we're starting when we're alive. I like that. Okay. So seriously. So in that aspect, do we start off with a trust? Let's say that we, whether it, you know, we have real estate and, you know, you may have sticks, stocks and bonds. I mean, if they're in your IRA that most time is taken care of, but would we start off with making trust? Where would we start with this? Yes. So a trust is one way to plan for incapacity and also provide a direction on how you want your assets distributed after you pass. Another document is called the Durable Power of Attorney. That document can allow someone to handle your assets for you and step in if you're not able to. Okay. Now, this is really cool. How do, okay, a durable power of attorney? So when you sign off on a durable power of attorney, what is the good part about that and what would be the bad part about that? Well, a good part about it is that you're nominating someone to step in. So if you become incapacitated, then it avoids a guardianship. So it's a court process that is very expensive. So that's a good part. The downside could be is that you want to make sure the person that you nominate is someone you trust because they are going to be handling your assets. And the same thing, if you nominate somebody for a trustee, for your trust, you want somebody that's going to have, that you have a lot of confidence and that they're going to use your assets to take care of you. Right.  And then my trustee say, well, I don't think you are all right. How does that work? Well, if somebody were to file a guardianship on you, there are three individuals that would look at you and examine you and determine whether or not you're incapacitated or not. So if you're not, then you would not be found incapacitated. Right. I bet that comes up, though, right? Does that come up? Yeah. I mean, if there's an issue, potentially, where there's fighting in between the family, that can occur and that happens and sometimes when a guardianship has been filed. So, yes, I've seen that. And I do guardianships as well. So I have seen that. Yeah, you must see a lot of it. No, listen, growing up, I remember that we grew up and a lot of people had triple-deckers in South Boston. And you've never seen so many fights about a triple-decker. I mean, it was sad, you know, just inside families to get along and then all of a sudden one person dies and they're killing each other about a triple-decker. So it's sad. Yeah, no, that happens. When money comes into play, it's, you know, not good. Yes. Okay, so that would be the first part that you'd start getting set up. And the state planning aspect of it. So when you're talking with someone about a state planning, what else do you talk about, Karen? So we'll look at what their goals are. So if they have, you know, maybe a concern about protecting their assets after they pass and maybe trying to, let's say they have minor children and they wanna make sure that their children are going to have funds to go to college and they wanna make sure their kids can go to college or do go to college, the trust can provide that their child, you know, will get certain funds to be able to pay for college.  So the trust actually gives you a lot of flexibility in putting extra little triggers in there to make sure that, you know, that the proceeds are going to the kids the way that they would want them if they were still around. Now, when we talk asset protection, I'm gonna mix and match something here because I know, I've seen in the past, right?  Cause you can, my understanding is that you can separate that so that the asset base of the parents will end up going to the child but it won't get depleted before that. Would that be correct? If, you know, let's say the parents pass and the child is incapacitated but, you know, of course it needs money to start going forward. How does that, am I correct in that aspect? Yeah, absolutely. The parents can set up a revocable trust during their life and then they can have a trust going to the benefit of their child. So immediately upon their passing, their assets are gonna be funding that child's trust and then the success of trustee is gonna step in and then begin taking care of that child. So it allows one of the benefits, another benefit of a trust is it allows for a smooth transition from the passing of the parents to when the success of trustee steps in to distribute the assets. So there's a, you know, no delay like there can be sometimes with a probate. Sure, sure. That's a pretty neat part of the law that you're practicing. So how did you decide to practice as part of the law? Yes. Well, when I went to law school, I had a professor that was practicing as well as teaching and so I became interested through a lot of the real world experience he brought to the classroom and then I started interning while I was in school too. So, and I really enjoy this area. I met a lot of really great people and it's a really great area of the law. So I also do special needs planning. So I also assist people who are disabled and special needs trust to help retain their benefits and make sure that they have money to help them. Which is so crucial, I know. Yeah, you know, it's because you help people every day, man. That's a good way to go to sleep. I like that. Yes, yes, yes. Well, you know, it's wild is that, you know, I've talked about it a lot. None of us ever get taught anything about finance in high school and even in college. I mean, that's the reality.  You can lose it overnight, right? Yes, exactly. So it's so important to, you know, not only look at your financial planning but to consider doing your estate planning too, to preserve those assets and make sure they go to who you want and they're going how you want. You gotta love it. Listen folks, Karen's number, she's in Tampa, eight, one, three, two, two, five, 19, 18. The website is whhlaw.com. Karen's number again, eight, one, three, two, two, five, 19, 18. Karen, thank you so much. Look forward to having you again. Great education, really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. Thank you for having me. Thank you. Stay right there, folks. Come right back.


with re-hit and the carol bike. And this has been shown in numerous studies and we see it in our data. You get a substantial improvement in VO2 max. So you get around 12% in just eight weeks. So let's start. What exactly is a carol bike and why aren't I riding one right now? That's all right. So carol bike is the smartest and most effective exercise bike. It's been scientifically proven to give you double the health and fitness benefits in 90% less time compared to regular steady-state cardio. It's got simple and AI personalized workouts that are suitable for pretty much any age and fitness levels and workouts can be done in five minutes. And the best part is you only have to work hard for two 20-second sprints. So it's short, effective, and very easy to fit into your life. You're absolutely right about that. Now, everybody knows there are plenty of exercise bikes out there already and certainly people heard about what happened during COVID with a particular exercise bike company. What gap did you see in the market that led to the creation of the carol bike? Before I, I'm not an insider in the fitness industry. I've worked in automotive industry and a lot in healthcare actually. I'm a mechanical engineer by background. And in healthcare, we designed with my co-founders chronic disease management programs for people with heart failure, diabetes, and so on. And exercise is simply the most powerful intervention for not only that patient population for everybody really, but nevertheless for those people particularly. And we couldn't get them to exercise. And when we looked at the science, if you survey people why they don't exercise, the number one reason stated is lack of time. Now, actually for some it might be an excuse, but we believe that the competition for time is really intense and that there is a need for time efficient exercise. And when we came across the science of re-hit reduced exertion high intensity training, we fell in love basically overnight and really wanted to do that, wanted our patients to be able to do that. But you couldn't replicate the science that university researchers discovered in the lab on a normal exercise bike. So they used special equipment. And simply there was no suitable equipment available. And that seemed such a huge gap to us that we felt why not try and close that gap. And that's now this is almost 10 years ago and an awful lot of development effort has gone into that. But by now we have a very nice product that makes re-hit very simple. And dare I say easy for people to do in their home, in gyms. And so that's what motivated us. Got you. You know, I talk and write a lot about exercise snacking and why you don't need to go to the gym for hours a day to get the benefits of exercise. And you're absolutely right. My patients basically say they don't have the time. And certainly during COVID nobody had the ability to go to the gym. So I want to really dive in to what re-hit is versus hit. Because I think a lot of people listening understand high intensity interval training hit. But take us through that. And why that's so important. Sure, sure. So most people will be familiar with hit high intensity interval training. And a typical hit program would last 20, 30 minutes, have multiple like higher intensity intervals 45678. And they vary in range from 40 seconds to four minutes. There's a great variety. And while the benefits are beyond doubt, it is actually quite difficult for most people to perform those hit sessions because the rate of perceived exertion is fairly high. And it's also not that time efficient once you the prep and shower afterwards and everything. So based on that, re-hit was developed by scientists who were looking for the shortest, most effective, most accessible way to exercise. And research has proven that re-hit is simply the fastest way to get fit. And a re-hit session consists basically only of two 20 second sprints with a very light warm-up recovery and cool down period. And so where where it offers high intensity training, re-hit offers maximum intensity. So you really push to your limits, but you do it only for a very brief, very short period of time, which makes it which makes the total exertion much, much lower. You know, you know, when I first tried your bike, and you know, it maybe we can talk through this, but you basically kind of have a warm-up period of two minutes. And you know, I'm going, well, okay, come on, let's get this going because I'm following the directions from the bike, obviously. And I'm going, well, this is silly. What am I doing this for? And then it goes, all right, you know, now you're going to do this for 20 seconds, you're going to pump as hard as you can go. And okay, you do that. And then I'm going, okay, now you know, this is when we're really going to start.  And I'm going, well, this is silly. And then we do it again for 20 seconds. And I hope I'm saying this right.  And I'm going, oh, come on, I didn't even break a sweat. And Dave Asprey, you know, used to talk about this, he said, how'd you like to get fit without breaking a sweat in five minutes? I know. Come on. So yes, did I work hard for 20 seconds, two times in a row? Yeah, but it was not, I didn't want to throw up. And some hip training can do. So teach me the science of why that my perceived exertion wasn't very high. And yet I got a benefit. Sure, sure. So the, I want to just two things. So it is actually true. The, the level of energy you burn during the sprints is so low that most people don't even break a sweat.  But most people actually don't sweat. And I know that some of our female users, many of our female users actually really appreciate that they can get a good workout in at least without having to have their head on and all again, and need to go to the hairdresser again. So that is true. It doesn't apply to everybody, but most people can do it without even breaking a sweat. But let's, let's, it is still like these two 20 second sprints, if you pushed your limit, those two 20 second sprints are hard. So it's, I don't want to say it's, it's not a fitness pill or free lunch. You do have to work hard for those two 20 second sprints at your heart rate will be elevated and so on. Now, what, why does it get you fit? The secret lies in the rapid onset of the high intensity. So you go from your base rate very rapidly in the sprints to create a huge spike in energy demand. So your energy demand increases by a factor of 100. And that energy demand can't be met with your normal aerobic energy system.  And that's first for the first 10 seconds of the sprint or so, that's possible creating that switches on fastest is immediately available, but it only lasts for about 10 seconds.  And what that triggers is, or what that means is that you're tapping into your, what we call emergency energy reserves. So you have those glycogen stores in reserve for situations where you have to run for your life or fight for your life.  And now that triggers a cascade, certain signaling molecules get released. So that's initially AMPK, which is bound to the glycogen and gets then released and activated. And then further downstream, it releases and activates PGC1 alpha, which is another signaling molecule that is the master regulator for mitochondrial biogenesis. So with those sprints, you set in place, you set off a cascade of physiological responses that in effect tell your body that it has to get fitter and stronger and increase the mitochondrial volume and numbers so that you're getting better at utilizing oxygen. And that increases your VO2 max and your cardio respiratory fitness. And therefore, delivers this very substantial increase in fitness in this very short period of time. There's some other mechanisms that lead to further adaptations. For example, your blood plasma volume increases. And overall, you get better at both delivering and utilizing oxygen. You know, that brings to mind. Years ago, when the jogging craze came out, they in the marathoning craze came out, they interviewed some Kalahari Bushmen, the Aikong, who are great long distance walkers. They think nothing about walking 20 miles, talking game. And they asked them, you know, what do you think about running 26 miles? And they said, well, why would anybody do that? You'd, you know, you'd waste all those calories, you know, walking for 26 miles, running for 26 miles to catch the animal. And if the animal was chasing you, he would have caught you long before that. And you're right. This, this immediate power need was, you're right, fight or flight. We had to get up a tree, or we had to wrestle a saber tooth tiger, either of which would be a very short bout of intense exercise. So you're right. We were, we were built for this. So you're, you're, you're, we have an evolutionary reason to have this. Yeah, absolutely. And another thing, how, so the response is to the rapid onset, basically, of the sprint. And one thing that, if you want to call it a hack, or something really clever is that the, when, when you switch on the, when you have this spike in energy demand, and the body anticipates a fight or flight situation and prepares for that. And it means it mobilizes lots and lots of energy, mobilizes lots and lots of glycogen, you burn only through your metabolize only a tiny fraction of that, because the sprints are so short. But the, the signal went in already just with the onset. And that is thought to be the reason why you don't have to do more sprints or longer sprints. You would just burn through more of that mobilized glycogen. But the signal was already went in at the very beginning. And therefore that triggered already the adaptation. And there's something really quite peculiar and quite unique about re-hit because with exercise, it's usually a quite linear function. If you either work longer or work harder, you get greater benefit. What the data right now suggests is that with re-hit, doing more sprints and longer sprints, not only does you not give, it's not only that you don't get greater benefits, it's actually an inverse relationship. So if you do more sprints or longer sprints, you get less fitness benefits. Now that's, that's a curiosity and a little bit of a paradox. It's not entirely understood what scientists think happens is that their psychology just kicks in. So if you knew you had to do 10 sprints and they're all like 40 seconds long, you just don't go all out. You don't push to your limit. You operate, you pace yourself and you stay somewhere at 80, 90% and it's going to be really hard and so on. But you don't get the benefits from this short, sharp spike in energy demand. And with two 20-second sprints, so by the end of the last five seconds, you feel a bit of discomfort admittedly, but that is short enough for you to really push to your limits and therefore reap the rewards of this signal that's derived from this very sudden onset of energy demand.  I suppose a lot of people are saying, well, okay, you know, thank you very much. Now I know what I'm supposed to do. Why can't I just hop on my exercise bike and duplicate that experience? What say you? Yeah, so we tried it. So we had no intention of becoming or inventing an exercise bike. The science existed beforehand. As I said, there's been 15, 20 years researched. When we came across it, we fell in love and we really wanted just to do that exercise. And I remember very well, so there was a BBC documentary about that, where they showcased the science of re-hit, the amazing benefits, how you don't even sweat, you could do it in your suit. And I bought over like the same evening a very good conventional exercise bike and thought, I'll just do it. But I couldn't. The experience was nothing like what was portrayed in that documentary. And, well, we contacted the scientists who were featured there. It was Dr. Niels Follert, amongst others, and asked them, what are we doing wrong? And the first thing he said was, well, you need a special bike. So in their labs, and they failed to mention that in the documentary. Oh, by the way. Yeah, exactly. In their lab, they used special equipment that was operated by a second person. So by lab technician and exercise physiologist. And with that second person, you could dial in the optimal resistance at the right time and to get this spike in energy demand, you have to basically start pedaling really fast at low resistance. And then your personalized resistance needs to be applied in an instant at the optimal time. And that's just very, very difficult on a normal bike. Now, most people just wouldn't know what maximum intensity feels like. If you pedal at top speed, try to dial in, like, turn a button. It's just very difficult. So we decided, and that's a genesis of Kerro bike, that it's unpractical to have very expensive research equipment and a second person there. We thought there must be a better solution to that. We use technology. We use a computer control resistance mechanism, a computer code break that automates the workout. And we use algorithms and AI to find the optimal personalized resistance for each user, no matter how fit or not you are and what age you are. And that's really how it came about. So, of course, people are welcome to try it. I don't think so. We were very disappointed when we tried it on a normal bike and it was enough for us to say, hey, we're going to build our own bike. We can do better than that. And Kerro is very optimized for these re-hit rides. It's not the only thing you can do. In fact, it's a very versatile bike. But we've really tried to optimize every aspect of the bike to make it perfect for this type of workout. I actually have done it in my suit and I was able to do it and I did not ruin my suit. So, you're right. And you know, that's actually one of the brilliance of this because in general, doing exercises is number one, a pain in the neck. Number two, you are convinced that you have to do it for a long time to get any sort of benefit. And you're also right that the traditional hit training, personally speaking, you know more is coming. And I think psychologically, you protect yourself because you really don't want to go to failure psychologically. And yet you guys have figured this out. So, what you're saying is that the computer is always tracking my effort and knows as I get fitter to be the technician and turn up the resistance. And so it tracks this. That's correct. That's correct. So, in the lab setting, so it's literally plate-loaded bikes, they put like some metal weights on the resistance system that gets released and then slow down the apply resistance based on that.  But then they also applied judgment. So, they looked you up and down, their subjects up and down and said like within that range. Here we'll apply a bit more. Here we'll apply less based on how I assess your fitness levels to be. Now, we can't do that because it's not supervised.  You can do it in like the leading gym or like biohacking facilities. But it's not typically a supervised exercise. So, for your first ride, we use similar reference tables based on what the scientific community used. And we've got by now after hundreds of thousands, well, many hundreds of thousands of rides, additional data. So, based on everything you tell us, we find a very good estimate as to how the workout should be for you, what the resistance level should be. But then we also look at your performance and how you perform during the ride, how quickly you're fatigued during the sprints. And based on that, the resistance will be personalized and optimized from ride to ride. So, not only will we find very quickly the optimal point for you at that stage, but we will also keep making it more challenging as you get fitter and stronger so that you plateau as late as possible. Or if you had like an injury or you had a pause in training also, where your fitness declined, we will also make it easier for you so that it's always a challenging but feasible workout to perform. Yeah. And I like the feature.  So, there is, cleverly, you've designed in some feedback to give me a gold star for my effort. Or you can see that, and you're right, the computer can tell, you're falling off at the end and you can see that. Absolutely. And I mean, it's completely natural that you should fatigue during the sprint. And in fact, if you were, so that curve of your power throughout the sprint has to drop off. Otherwise, you haven't reached your peak. It's basically your peak power and peak intensity. You can only hold for literally a fraction of a second. It's a momentary thing.  And that's a normal and intended characteristic. And in fact, so we've got by far the largest database of re-hit rides with 25,000 riders, many hundreds of thousands of rides that we can analyze. And so we know what the optimal shape of that curve is for any type of person and are therefore able to really dial in on the optimal resistance so that yeah, you can push yourself to your limits and gain the maximum benefits from re-hit.  And there are, you know, there are our bike programs that I have done and I've, you know, he'll climb through these things and I've he'll climbed on bikes through Tuscany. I don't, it's hard. So you're saying, come on now, folks. You really can get a lot of benefit through these little short sessions. Yes. That's right. That's right. Absolutely. And there's not only so we have a lot of data on that and we can see that we're basically replicating the level of improvement that was seen in academic trials. But you know, it's, I would argue that the leading, for example, personal trainers or like performance studios, they embrace it. They're different people. Some people do not like to exercise and they just want to get it done as quickly as possible. But we have many users who really enjoy exercising and they just want a, this really powerful stimulus as part of their program. And it's an additional thing or they also, because the bike can do lots and lots of other things as well, use varied programs and mix it up. And so it's, there is really a great, I'm surprised if I see kind of how broad the spectrum of our users is from, you know, people who struggle to exercise and found it hard to find something that suits them to, yeah, really, I mean, top class athletes who just want basically an additional stimulus from this very high intensity, very short sprints. So it's the range is really pretty vast. All right. I mentioned in the introduction that this is a anti-aging machine, perhaps is the nice way of saying that. How in the world do you make that claim? Because that's a very, you can de-age by 10 years. Where does all this come from? I can back that claim up. So with Rehit and the Carol bike, and this has been shown in numerous studies and we see it in our data, you get a substantial improvement in VO2 max. So you get around 12% in just eight weeks. And then further studies and our own data shows after 18 to 20 weeks or so, you're up to 20%. And VO2 max. Let me back up for our listeners and viewers who don't know what's a VO2 max and why should we care? Of course, yes. So VO2 max is your ability to burn, to use oxygen during exercise. And it is possibly probably the most important health marker. And there's a very strong association or correlation between VO2 max and longevity. So the other thing is, from the age of 30, we lose VO2 max about 10% per decade. So in only eight weeks, you can overcompensate, you can regain more than you would lose in terms of VO2 max cardio respiratory fitness then the whole decade of aging. So it's not subtle at all. It's very noticeable. You get the metrics on the bike, you get a fitness score, so you can track yourself very well from right to right and see your progress. But you can also feel your progress because you will feel, I mean, yeah, feeling in terms of cardio fitness 10 years younger, that's very significant. The other thing is, and this is based on scientific research, the correlation between VO2 max and healthy life expectancy. So a 10% increase in VO2 max would correspond or the correlation would be equivalent to two years of healthy life expectancy gained. So that's very substantial. And so if longevity, I mean, it depends what your health goals are, but most people I think would like to age well and in good fitness and improving your VO2 max is one of the best ways to achieve that. It's interesting. I like to study super old people and the term has been coined blue zones. In my upcoming book, I actually debunk blue zones. But a great number of these places, and I was a professor at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California for many years. And all of these areas are hilly communities. And interestingly enough, four out of the five groups are sheep and goat herders. And these sheep herders in their 90s have incredible VO2 max. I couldn't keep up with these sheep herders going up hills. So you're right, their VO2 max is really impressive. And I think part of it is because they go up and down hills all day long. So you're right, the VO2 max is really important. So do you have any, do you have any user examples that illustrate this? You probably have tons. We do, we do. We have, we have a lot. We have one, I don't know whether you have the pleasure to meet Andrea. She's she was with us at the biohacking conference. She's also a user, but an ambassador. She wouldn't mind telling if I told her story. So she's an avid user and her, she's in her 50, but she's got the VO2 max of a, oh, I think it was a 20 year old. I mean, unbelievable improvements that she's achieved and where her audiologist couldn't believe what, what values she produced. Now that's, she's quite exceptional in so many ways and very special. But so we, no, we do very clearly get the feedback from our users that it's very noticeable, very tangible improvement that they achieve. I want to segue into something you brought up, what really prompted you to figure this bike out. And that is, as, as you're well aware, and I hope our listeners are aware, in America, only 88% of Americans have metabolic inflexibility. They are insulin resistant. They are pre diabetic or diabetic. And I don't think there's a difference. So only 12% of Americans in, in fact, only 50% of normal weight individuals are metabolically flexible, which is really scary. So and again, you got into this because you wanted to figure out a way of helping these individuals as I do. So tell me how the Carol bike affects insulin resistance, which is one of our great killers and ageers of, of everything. Yeah, yeah, sure. So in terms of the results that we've seen in academic, randomized controlled peer reviewed trials, we've seen very impressive improvements in metabolic health. So one trial and that was done with Carol bike, compared to jogging, the Carol bike group after eight weeks, using the bike three times a week, saw an improvement in their Metz Z score. So that's a metabolic risk score that's that's calculated based on a basket of physiological measurements like blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, waste cell conference. And in only eight weeks, that risk score reduced by 62%. So it's a very remarkable reduction in risk of developing metabolic diseases. Now, the mechanism and nothing is here entirely that the last word, it's an emerging field of research, even though people have been working on it for 15, 20 years. But what one reason to why this might be so effective is, as you do those sprints, you, you mobilize lots of glycogen, so sugar stored in your muscles. You empty the emergency energy reserve of your body, and your body really wants to be ready for, you know, the next attack or the next critical situation in a way. And so wants to replenish those stores also as quickly as possible. And and these processes of accessing energy and storing energy are governed by insulin. And therefore, it is thought that that's the mechanism that improves insulin sensitivity, reduces insulin resistance and ultimately improves metabolic health and supports weight management, even so. So many people do exercise for weight management. I don't think it should be the primary goal, but I totally respect that that's it's an important goal. I think that there's much greater prizes actually to be have than than just burning some calories, like the the metabolic health benefits are much greater in my view, than just burning some calories. But basically, overcoming insulin resistance would make it so much easier to manage your weight, because you can actually, like if you do want to fast, I fast from time to time.  And so I'm not starved, even though so I like to do these fasting mimicking I never do like a water fast or so, but from time to time I do these five days programs with significantly reduced calorie intake. And I managed to do those with hardly any sensation of really hunger and starving. And that I attribute that to metabolic flexibility and because I can actually use the the energy I carry around with me. Yeah, you know, the study you refer to, I think people should understand and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they just had to do these carob bike workouts three times per week. That's correct. Yes. So it's over eight weeks and it was done three times a week. And they spent so around 25 minutes working out per week. It was very, very little time investment. Man, I mean, that's that's a deal. And you're right. I, you know, I in my clinics, I measure fasting insulin and insulin resistance. So we use HOMA IR, but it's interesting. Most people are unaware that they have an elevated fasting insulin. Even people with normal blood sugars, even people with normal hemoglobin A1Cs are shocked when they actually have an elevated insulin level and an elevated insulin resistance. And the way I, I tell people is that your, your muscles are essentially the customer that insulin sells the food that you eat to. And if, if the, if the muscles are hungry, it's an easy sell. They're going, oh yeah, yeah, give me some of that.  But if your muscles are full, then the best sales pitch in the world isn't going to work because the muscles go, I'm sorry. You know, there's no room in here. I'm stuffed.  And what happens to my patients and happened to me back when I was fat is that insulin does not want to waste calories.  It always has. And I'm going to help you out. And I'm going to take all those extra calories that the muscles don't want. And I'm going to store it as fat. You'll thank me someday. And because, because the famine is coming, it always has, of course, it hasn't been here for quite a while. And my patients really get it. So what you're saying is so true. And it just takes a little stimulus to make your muscles hungry. And I think that's what you've proved with the bike. Speaking of weight loss, who cares about weight loss if what we're losing is muscle? And one of the scary things from the latest weight loss drug craze is that the initial results and there's still there's still not enough studies looks like the weight loss from these drugs for 40, 44% of the weight loss is muscle. And that to me is really scary. Because again, muscles are the customer for insulin.  I wholeheartedly agree. And I think people should be very careful, especially. So I'm now 46. And I'm actually, I'm much more interested in maintaining and building muscle than being at my skinniest leanest. So yeah, I would much rather have slightly higher weight and good level of muscle mass, then lose a lot of weight at the cost of also reducing muscle mass. I entirely agree there. So I do think carol supports weight management through the mechanisms we've discussed around insulin sensitivity. Carol also burns a meaningful amount of calories because of the afterburn because of there's something called excess post exercise oxygen consumption.  Research has shown that you burn through a substantial amount of calories in the next 90 minutes, 120 minutes after the sprint. And so it does contribute to like a meaningful amount of calories. So for I give you an example, I do a ride most mornings and we can calculate the epoch because that's been thoroughly investigated. And in six, seven minutes on the bike, I burn about 220 calories. Now that's compared to my overall need. It's almost like 10% of my daily kind of calorie requirement. And that's meaningful if you have that off. And there's other programs and there's actually, there's a little bit of a gender bias in there. So it seems to be our female users are using that program more called the fat burn series, which has done a slightly lower intensity, but has a lot more sprints and shorter sprints. So it's like eight seconds on 12 seconds off.   So if weight management was one of your primary goals, that would be a good program to also mix in. So we think everybody should do the re-hit kind of to have your base covered. But then you could mix in some of these fat burn programs. And that would certainly help with calorie consumption. The other thing is in re-hit because the forces are quite high. It is actually that the forces are meaningful also from a strength perspective. So while you're not training your upper body, you do actually train your legs also for strength. And so this hasn't been published yet, but I had sight of the results. A new study that showed that you have also around a thing was 12% improvement in strength, lower body strength after eight weeks doing these re-hit rides. So basically through that training, you would offset, even if you have a calorie deficit, through the training you would protect your muscle mass. Yeah, my patients know and I teach them that really 60 to 70% of our muscle mass is in our butt and our thighs. And that's what you're working. And I tell them, please, please don't go to the gym and get the five pound weights and do curls. Because yeah, you may get guns, but you're wasting your time in terms of the real consumers.  So you're exactly right. Carol bike exercise and getting smarter. Now, it sounds really smart to just exercise for five minutes. So I'm already smarter. But tell me about BDNF and the hit series. Yeah, sure, sure. So the exercise, I mean, exercise in general has lots and lots of positive effects. And high intensity exercise has in particular many positive effects and some maybe that people didn't expect. But there is actually a large body of evidence that supports that especially high intensity exercise releases BDNF that's brain derived neurotropic factor. And that helps to keep the brain young and healthy. So it encourages neuro plasticity. And if you have lots of it, it's associated correlated with higher cognitive performance, attention, memory. And if you have little of it, it's also correlated with cognitive impairment and dementia and even depression and things. So so having having an exercise that stimulates BDNF release is certainly helpful. And one recent study has shown that these short sprints increase BDNF some four to five times more than light exercises for a much longer period. So that was light exercise for 90 minutes. Did some of this is obviously black box and we're just observing and we don't know all the like how it links together. But the observation seems to be that high intensity exercise really particular is particularly beneficial for BDNF release. Yeah, we're we're learning more and more about a set of signaling molecules called myokines that are released from muscles. And, you know, I think the science is, you know, is it in its infancy, but these myokines definitely have some neurotropic effects that again, we're just uncovering this whole class of signaling molecules. So yeah, another good reason to do this. All right, well, there's certainly a growing interest in the home fitness trend. Where do you where do you see the carol bike standing in the next few years? Oh, so I hope that everybody has one. So our intention when we started and I hope this doesn't sound too grand, but was really to shift the needle on an epidemic of inactivity. The benefits of exercise are so clear, and so overwhelmingly positive that it's really hard to understand why we don't do it more. And the figures, the participation rates and activity rates are really quite depressing. It's I think in the US by some measures, only 5% of the population gets sufficient exercise and physical activity. We hope that time efficient exercise can make a difference and actually shift the needle on this epidemic of inactivity. So obviously, we want to be successful as a company, no question, but we'd also like to make a real difference to people's lives and help them find a habit that they can fit into their life to get and stay fit and active. Some people say this is great, but I want I want a trainer yelling at me either in person or via a video to make me do this. Can the carol bike be configured to yell at me? Or what are you doing? So yes, and what we have done is we obviously we have our own workout series. So at the moment, there's some 20 protocols or workout options, all with good scientific evidence, but we recognize that people might not always want to do the same thing. Sometimes they have more time or in a household, there's several people living. So you can use the carol app with a number of third party apps. So you can have the peloton digital on it. And that works nicely. And then another thing is, and so the cycling community is quite a subculture really. They love to in winter or whenever it's raining or whenever in many circumstances, work out on apps like Swift, where you can cycle through virtual worlds with literally thousands of people. And there's a number of those apps, Swift, Kinomap. And with our latest model, we are fully compatible with those apps. So you can use a variety of third party apps to cycle through virtual worlds, through video recorded worlds is really quite amazing, the variety of third party apps that also works on carols. So we've made the bike very specialized. And this is always our primary focus. We want it to be as good as possible, optimal for re-hit. But we recognize that, you know, your wife, your children, partner might have different tastes. And most people just don't have two bikes at home. Most people have one bike at home. And so therefore we can't just be a one trick pony and have to enable those things too. More amazing episodes just like this one. Watch now. Turns out that house chores, washing dishes, doing the laundry, sweeping the floor, vacuuming, making a bed, count towards exercise.


So the Hyper Focus Hyperion SMG, I feel after using it and testing it for a video, people don't actually realise how good and powerful a weapon this can be. Is it now stepping on the toes of the redistributor? Today I give you my thoughts. How's it going guys, my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy living like really helps out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the Hyperion Hyper Focus SMG is a drop from the power troopers upon Atlas HQ on Prometheus. It drops offering all elemental types and can also drop offering none. For those who don't know where the power troopers are located, stay tuned until the end for the route and location. So straight up people, let's compare this to the equivalent redistributor. On paper we can see deals way more damage almost doubling up over this redistributor and it's like this no matter what redistributor you compare it to. Other stats on paper can vary but both have their ups and downs. The redistributor does have that amped shot which is just utterly brutal for groups of enemies. The Hyper Focus can't touch it in that manner. So to the point, is this as good as the redistributor? Well when you balance up the benefits of each and go on into what this game offers for the most part I'd say no. This isn't as good as the redistributor as an all round weapon. But that being said, that doesn't mean this is a bad weapon at all. It isn't in the slightest. And in fact, one area where it does smoke the redistributor is in single target damage. It just absolutely melts. And you'll see this in how quick it can kill Grave Ward. And this is just one demonstration. Now this thing's pie trick is as follows. Hitting an enemy spawns two additional projectiles perpendicular to the target. These shots can ricochet also off the environment. So basically hitting a target with this weapon will create a T-Shade shooting left and right of that target. As you can see on screen now with the test on me. Now this can help a little bit if enemies are grouped up and like I said, these shots also do ricochet too. So if enemies are grouped up there's a good chance they might hit them. Just don't like I did expect more from these additional shots, I expected way more and although you can usually see a slight difference, it isn't as prolific as you'd like. Even in places like the slow shaft where enemies are all over the place. These perpendicular projectiles wasn't really doing as much as I'd like them to or actually expected them to. Point in saying that it doesn't really matter because at the moment this is one of the hardest activities in the game on Mayhem 4 and in this hyper focus as you can see just eat through everything. Now the reason to me testing this weapon as we all know it's quite old is because it received a recent buff which I feel many people forgot about. On March 12th this weapon's standard damage to that value went from a 0.8 to a 1.4 so let's quite the increased people. Now before this huck fix buff I don't really recall using this weapon as much so in reality can't state the actual difference in feel but what I do know is it's a very decent and capable weapon now and my advice to you is try it out for yourselves. As great and as powerful as it was for me there are many weapons like this within this game. This might be the weapon you need for your build that all depends on the build but it also at the same time that all depends on the build but also at the same time it probably won't be beneficial to your build. But for me it hits the right spots for sure, damage and feel wise anyway but there are better or round options out there like the redistributor. That's a weapon you're struggling to get due to the Maliwan Raid and Walton being stingy and not dropping it for you if you just struggle with the Raid and can't get through it. I mean although this isn't as good as the redistributor, I want to call the boxes the redistributor does, it's still a good alternative and on screen I can see the route to the power troopers for those who want to try this out. It is quite a common drop, I was getting it probably once every two runs but actually getting the role I wanted with my Sentinel Anointment it took me about two hours. Now within this route you will see me run to a particular save point then run back to where the actual power trooper spawn in so if you don't get the drop the first time quit out a little back in and you'll know your way there.

450 United States Navy ships stood off a tiny island in the Pacific. Few Americans had heard of the place. It measured four and two-thirds miles by two-and-a-half miles, ash-covered beaches, and one extinct unknown volcano. A command was passed to the ships, land the landing force. No one, not even you, the Marines and Navy corpsmen who stepped ashore from the Amtrak at two minutes after nine knew that what you were about to do would forever enshrine the island, Iwo Jima and the volcano Mount Surabachi, in American history. Today, Iwo Jima is remembered with other names like Saratoga, the Alamo, Gettysburg. Remembered not simply because Americans were again conspicuously gallant in battle, but because our sons were called upon to endure unspeakable hardship for the sake of freedom. Your flag raising at Mount Surabachi remains a beacon, indeed a birthright for America's young people and for every future American. On behalf of all Americans, we salute today the men of Iwo.

Another huge problem with this movie was the pacing. It made no sense. It was too all over the map. Well, first we mentioned it's slow to get going.  They don't have nothing to do with the whole plot. You don't need that. Then all that character building in the beginning is fine, but it goes way too long, and then you're like, when are the demons gonna come out here? Yeah. And then when they do, it's like, okay, this shit's gonna hit the fin. And it doesn't. Like, the rhythm of the movie is like, it starts to pick up and you're like, okay, here we go, and it stops. And it literally stops. It literally stops.
