And so sail it we, I see a wreck to windward and a lofty ship to lee, A sailing down along the coast of high Barbarie, Blow high, blow low, blow high, blow low. Are you a pirate or man of walk right we? Blow high, blow low, and so sail it we. Oh, I am not a pirate, but a man of walk right he. A sailing down along the coast of high Barbarie, A sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing. For broad aside, for broad aside, we fought along the main, Blow high, blow low, and so sail it we, Until it last the frigate shot the pirates' mast away. A sailing down along the coast of high Barbarie, But oh, it was a cruel sight and grieve it all so sore. Blow high, blow low, and so sail it we, To sea level a drowning as they tried to swim ashore. Sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing, sailing down along the coasts of Hyde Park. Good afternoon shipmates and welcome to the Navy Yard. We're at the Navy Museum, the fighting top of the Constitution behind me here. Happy birthday! What a place to have a birthday and what a day it's going to be today. We're going to have a lot of fun, but speaking of time, can you believe it?

You're not one to gamble, huh? Okay. Second row. Dismissed. Well, shipmates, that's a lot of fun doing re-enlistments. It's my favorite. Having folks decide to stay Navy and continue the service. So, let me tell you a little bit. As I said, here we are, 2012. It's the 200th Commemoration of the War of 1812. It's also the 70th Commemoration of the Battle of Midway. It's the 70th Commemoration of the Battle of Coral Sea, and it's the 50th Commemoration of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Your shipmates, our predecessors, had a lot to do in the Cuban Missile Crisis as we led the quarantine there in and around Cuba, a very, very important part of the Cold War, which sometimes we don't really talk a lot about. But a little bit on the War of 1812. Again, the fighting top behind me, the scene around here, and what we've been talking about all year. We've been doing commemorations from New Orleans through Florida, up the East Coast, Norfolk, Baltimore, New York, and on through the Great Lakes. And it's been terrific. America has gotten the opportunity to meet you, your shipmates, and many others and understand really more about our Navy and your Navy. And as I think about the War of 1812 and our legacy, three things come to mind all the time, looking back as we look at where we are today. Number one, technology matters. The best ships in the navies of the world, the highest tech ships were, in fact, US Navy ships in the War of 1812. If you look behind me and you look at that structure, that's original. We had the best ships and made of the best material. And that's why we had a ship called Old Ironsides made of such good material, cannonballs actually bounced off the sides. And it was exclaimed by a British officer, she must be made of iron. Number two, we had confident and proficient crews. And if you look at the examples up here of people understanding the rigging and working hard, our crews worked hard on seamanship, they worked hard on gunnery. And frankly, we outgunned the enemy in the War of 1812. And lastly, we had bold and accountable leaders. Leaders such as Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie, who fundamentally changed the whole course of the war by him taking charge of that battle, changing ships when he needed to, when he was losing his ship right underneath him and carrying on the war. Those three things, so important. And those are the things that we carry forward in our legacy. As we look forward to our next year together, I tell you right now, I'm very happy with sailing directions. And I ask you to check them out. They will be our path ahead. And those six words, the words we've been talking about all year, they still remain relevant. And they're still the way we're going to go forward. War fighting is going to be first. We have got to operate forward. That's where we're at our best. And we've got to be ready. That's going to be our legacy. That's going to be the brush you and I will use as we paint our way into the next year.  And then we're going to take some questions. If you look on the website, our website, my website, you'll see the logbook is in there. And I've recently posted our diversity, my diversity vision statement, how we're going to go forward in our path together to mine, to pull together all the talent that we have in the Navy and where we're going to go get talent in the country, our diversity vision. And second, I'm going to post pretty soon our position report. It's going to be a lay down of kind of taking a fix of where we've been over the last year and what changes we need to make on our track as we go out ahead. Some things have changed here and there. We've got to change some tweaks and things, but I'll lay down in this position report where we're headed in the year ahead. So Mick Pahn, what do you say? Some Q's and A's? I'm ready to go. Let's do it. Okay, let's bring in a question. Good afternoon, sir. My name is C1 Liner from White House Communications. My question is, now that the Navy's manning is stabilizing and this round of the ERB is completed and PTS is getting revamped early next year, how long before an increase in promotions will be seen and will SRBs for critical NECs increase? Yeah, I think that as you state, promotion rates have stabilized. How long before they increase, that's difficult to say. It really will be a matter of the lay down of the force as we look at each rating, as we look at the manning within the rating. But as you stated, recently promotion rates have increased and it is a reflection of the balancing across the ratings that has taken place. Perform to serve is going to be with us. It's going to be, I think, better. One of the things we've done as we look at each of the ratings, we're not looking at just the year somebody applies. We're looking at two years out ahead of that. So it's a three year total look and I think that we will be able to sustain what we have today, which is about between eight and nine out of 10 perform to serve requests are being approved. So I feel pretty good about where we are now. I don't see an ERB any time in the future. Sir, this question comes from our internet audience. This is LS1 Chris Russell from Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 2. Are there any plans for implementing the 15 year early retirement option for all hands? Well, I'll tell you the 15 year early retirement will remain an option. I think you use the term right. We call it an authority. I want that tool in the tool bag in order to be able to balance the force as necessary. But I really don't plan to. I don't think we need it right now. We're balanced very well. We've gone from 35 over man ratings to about seven right now. So we're in pretty good shape. But we will ask for the authority, but right now I don't see the need to use it. This comes from several sailors asking similar questions about op tempo and the increased carrier presence in set come. Sir, I would like to know where you stand on the carrier 2.0 requirements and what is being done to meet the needs of manning issues at sea. Are there any other manning initiatives being renewed beyond recent nav admins? What will affect 2.0 have on current seasaw shore rotation for senior enlisted as well as junior enlisted? That's a lot of questions. Let me try. I try to set the kind of the piece. The good news is the hard work that the sailors are doing out there, those people who are out there getting it done is clearly recognized all the way to the White House. The need for two carrier strike groups in the Arabian Gulf has been here since 2010. And we've agreed to do so through March of next year. I think all of you know that. And the John C. Stennis is on her way to do that. Now, where I stand on that is our country needs us and we are ready to respond. And we as they, the John C. Stennis and sailors like that, we are good through March. And what I mean by that is the carrier strike groups and the ships that have responded up to date have been expected to be ready to respond. They have been in what we call the sustainment phase. If we go beyond next March, we're going to have to look very closely at the lay down of the where those ships stand and training. We need to make probably some adjustments in the maintenance piece and the certification piece and in some of the training pieces. And so we'll take a look at that. But as I look out there ahead, we're going to track up temple very closely. We'll track home temple of our sailors and the individual tempo. And all of those will become a factor as we move out ahead. CTR to Ryan J. Marriott from USS Wasp. My question is in regards to wearing multiple warfare designators with the introduction of EIDWS on board LHD and CVN platforms, it is highly possible for motivated sailors and certain ratings to arrive from A schools and transfer from those platforms with three designators. My question is, why can't we wear what we have earned at least while wearing service and full dress uniforms? And Nick Pondes may be something you want to address. Sure. If you're one of those sailors that have earned one of those warfares or two and then working on a third, then I would like to say good on you and keep getting after those warfare quals into all our sailors. Please do the same. Did you know that we have over 20 warfare qualification pins that could be worn? So the Navy had to make a decision at some point on how many should we wear and what's appropriate. And what we found is that two warfare pins seems to be the right number because two warfare pins doesn't interfere with the wearing of other devices. At one time we had no limit and I personally knew of a sailor that was wearing five warfare pins from our special warfare community and it was just too much because it interfered with the uniform and other things that that sailor could or should have been wearing. So CNO we've decided that two is the right number and that's what we're going to stick with. You know but good on them. I mean these are people that have the judicious and go out and get the job done and I'd say let's make sure it's documented in your record as you get ready for perform to serve or anything else like that. These are people who have got a lot of drive. That's excellent. Excellent. Commander Ross Mabila from NJROTC senior instructor. When will the service dress khaki uniform be formally and finally approved and made available to officers and chiefs of the fleet? Well we've been wear testing the service dress khaki long enough and we've got good data on it. What we need to do is get a balance of where do we intend to wear the uniform. It will be an optional uniform so it's it's not going to be throughout the fleet. It'll be it's destined for some certain sites and you got to balance that with well how much will it cost based upon the expected wear. So we'll do that balance and we'll make a decision and I think that decision will be out pretty soon. Question from art clean. No command given and this time a financial austerity. Has Congress begun to reconsider the obligation period from one to two years for the operations and maintenance appropriation? From one year to two year? Well we authorize and appropriate bills yearly and so that that's how that will go on for forever until they change the law the process of a law. So really it won't be a two-year appropriation it'll be an annual appropriation an annual authorization. CS3 Jonathan Gill rumor has it that the dress white uniform being changed to have blue piping when can we expect this change if it is true? Make fun. Sure. We've done a lot of good work the fleet's done a lot of good work with this new uniform and what you'll see is October of 15 that uniform will begin to be issued to our new recruits at Great Lakes and then October of 18 you'll see that uniform start to be populated throughout the fleet. That's the current plan as it stands. Okay. Commander Mark Yell from Navcent when will the NWU type 1 aqua-flage uniforms be discontinued? I think that's up your alley too. What I would like to share with our shipmates out there is that there's no plan to discontinue the NWU type 1. We understand that it may not be the perfect uniform in all situations but we believe we found a uniform that gets us pretty close to the middle and for the foreseeable future unless directed otherwise the plan is to continue to wear the NWU and more importantly to become experts in where we wear it and how we wear it. Yeah, I think you got that right. Lieutenant Commander Michael Payne from Pensacola Branch Health Clinic. Our Lieutenant Commanders frequently deploy alongside their 04 major counterparts with the Marines, Army and Air Force in multiple joint environments. Lieutenant Commanders are generally permitted to be retained to retirement making them career-orientated. Lieutenant Commanders are frequently officers in charge. Exos are even COs of smaller ships yet all other services refer to their 04 rank as field grade mid-grade officers. While the Navy maintains their the lesser junior officer designation at 04 actual daily environments have Lieutenant Commanders treated as mid-grade officers. I have been continually blessed with strong leaders but uniform instructions and titles do not reflect the same respecting our British naval heritage but also uniquely aware of uniform changes reflecting modern-day joint forces reality. Why are Navy Lieutenant Commanders still referred to as junior officers without scrambled eggs compared with their mid-grade sister service peers? Well I'll tell you that's a mouthful and I haven't really given it that kind of thought. I'll take that question back it's always good to have something to look up and then we'll take a look at it. I would tell you my view and the way I've understood it is a junior officer runs through Lieutenant and an 04 is mid-grade officer so we'll take a look at that and see what makes sense and we'll change if it makes sense. This question is from the chat. CTIC Andrew Young from NIOC Maryland will there be any additional sailors allowed to retire under the Congress approved 15-year retirement option? Well I think that really involves temporary early retirement authorization and right now no we don't plan for that. We'll ask for the authority it's a force shaping tool we'll use the force shaping tool as appropriate in the future but for now I like the way the ratings are laid out. I think we're just about right and I don't see that one right now. PS1 Dennis Ellsworth from Landstil Regional Medical Center. Navy's PFA currently has consequences for failing most tried to pass with a minimum score. Why doesn't the Navy do more to reward those who excel in the PFA? This would create a carrot and a stick approach not just the stick. Nick? I think it's important that we all remember that first and foremost physical fitness is about operational readiness and the health of our sailors. We don't try to use physical fitness standards as a means to separate sailors but more as a means to retain sailors. It's a good question that we could always look at. We've had this discussion before is how do we better incentivize it and we've talked about it in the past but we really haven't done anything with that so it's a great question maybe we can take it on board and take another look at it but mostly it's about the health of our force and the health of our sailors. Yeah and I would add to that you're right if somebody does very well on the PFA and the PRT it should be documented. Consider documented in their report of fitness or in their evaluation. It's always available in the summary of action and it's in fact when we grade people's appearance and how they come across the fact that they are a fit person and show that example of leadership that should be documented. Lieutenant Michael Imperato from Department of the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence. China has recently been boldly asserting territorial claims in the South China Sea. What security concerns do you have for the nation as our federal debt climbs and what do you envision the Navy's role will be in maintaining national security in light of these economic concerns? Well good question. Basically the Navy is the keeper of the sea lines of communications. We need to be out and about in what I call the the maritime strategic crossroads the Strait of Hormuz the Strait of Malacca the Straits of Gibraltar all of those where the lifeline of our economy the world's economy passes through and we will always continue to do that that's operating forward. The prognosis if you will or the claims of the People's Republic of China we stand by the attributes of the law of the sea and the freedom of navigation and that is that in international waters open passages freedom of navigation should be guaranteed to all that's where we stand with regard to the the deficit and the difficulty in economic times a strong economy will give you a good security and strong security and I believe in that and that's where the president stands that's where the country stands. This question is from the chat. A02 A02 Joseph Tona and mc detachment Pax River Maryland are the rumors true about the 10 and a half months deployments? No. MTC is Hoffman from surveillance and reconnaissance field support office. What is the current and future plan for manning enlisted women on submarines? Well we're going we're doing quite well in our plans for women on submarines. Right now the officer program which is the one under in progress on our SSBNs and our SSGNs is going quite well. We've we've had on the order of about 60 applicants to fill about 56 billets and that's pretty good right now. We would like to expand that toward the Virginia class but we have to take a look at that and and here's what it is. We didn't get as many applicants as we thought we were going to get in that we got like I said in the 60s to fill 56 pretty good selectivity rate all well qualified. For us to expand beyond the current goal of about 56 and our SSBNs and SSGNs we need to understand do we will we have the applicants to fill into the Virginia class and we need to take a look at that. As we move toward bringing enlisted women on submarines including SSNs we need to look at what kind of a hierarchy of leadership we will have. That's important we need role models we need mentors for our junior enlisted and we'll need senior enlisted to do that. So the bottom line is going well so far moving in a deliberate pace I think next year somewhere in the middle of in the 13-ish time frame we'll be looking toward the Virginia class submarine officer and then enlisted but again we got an assess that we have the right leadership available so that we can do this right. FC2 RJ Mahoney from USS Chaffee my question is what is the Navy doing to ensure our technicians are adequately trained to perform their duties in the fleet? Right now we have about a 30% blend of computer-based training versus a 70% blend of hands-on training and we find that those two together right now are producing some very good training very effective and very efficient and we plan to continue down that path that we realized that several years ago we may have gotten a little bit too far to the computer based training the fleet gave us feedback we accepted that fleet feedback and we quickly made the adjustments and right now I believe from my experience and what I'm seeing in the fleet and in the classrooms that we're doing a very very good job of providing the Navy with some well-trained technicians. Command Master Chief John Taylor from the U.S. Naval Academy do you think that an early retirement board ERB or a continuation to serve board for our Department of Navy civilians would help us save money in this fiscally constrained era that we are going through? Well it's hard to say that you would save money I guess simply put and said directly you might but civilian personal management comes under the Office of Program Management military personnel comes under the Department of Defense and solely within that purview within the while managing civilian personnel if one month needs to make a change to the organization one wants to reduce the force there are various force shaping tools for civilian personnel such as a variable or voluntary separation incentive pay VSIP where one pays a stipend encouraging one to resign or to find another career path there is an early retirement option that exists and can be put in place these are actually held these are authorities that are held at what we call the echelon two level which is really the the hiring and managing authority for civilian personnel so you have the overarching management done by the laid out by the office of program personnel management excuse me office of personnel management and then they they delegate authorities to echelon levels who can then manage it but two separate processes for managing military personnel and civilian personnel. LS1 Laura Schmidt from Bremerton Priority Material Office Headquarters IA assignments allow eligible first class petty officers to bypass the chief's exam and go straight to the selection board with a forced drawdown occurring in Afghanistan where will the opportunities for fast track billets be in the future. We wanted to make sure when we stood up the IA program that we provided our sailors with equal opportunity to success and promote what I'd like to share with the sailor and the sailors that are listening is that we must remember that it's first and foremost about sustained superior performance then it's about sustained superior performance while on sea duty so it's not so much about what you're doing but it's more about or not so much about where you're doing it but it's more about how you're doing what you're assigned and so we always talk about cno that doesn't matter what kind of job you have or where you're at in the navy but that we must do our very best at whatever job that is and we must do that over a sustained period of time and if you can do that then most assuredly you'll promote in the future I couldn't agree more every mentor that I've had that you know I highly respect just said the job that you have at hand do the best you can in that job and things will take care of themselves and I think that's a pretty good piece of advice IT1 Billy J House from CSG 10 what are your thoughts on CPO 365 and do you believe this is the best option for developing senior enlisted leadership that is aware involved and technically competent that's your sweet CPO 365 well I think we we need to understand that we start building chief petty officers the day that they graduate from boot camp and then even more so when they become first class petty officers and so we found that it's much better to prepare first class petty officers to become chiefs with a continuum of learning and training so we do that year round rather than trying to cram it all into a six-week period of time and as we stand here right now we have master chiefs in the fleet that are currently helping me to review the CPO 365 program so that we can become even better leaders in the future so I believe it's the continuum of learning and training far more than it is that kind of quick hit during that six week period of time right right this is lieutenant joseph martin from military sea lift command far east as we celebrate our navy's birthday many of us are interested in the continuum of service concept described by some as creating on and off ramps to allow seamless transfer from active duty to drilling reserve status and vice versa nath admin 274 slash 12 recently addressed this concept in the enlisted force when do you foresee this becoming a reality for commissioned officers well actually the rapid transition if you will from active to reserve is a reality right now for the officer corps as a matter of an anecdote my son completed his active duty service just about a year ago just over a year ago and transitioned within about a week to the reserve corps so he he serves in their reserves so there are programs in place to enable active duty officers to transition to drilling reservists there's also a program for active duty officers to go into the IRR I can't remember what that acronym means but to do that for a period of time and then come back into the active corps so there are on ramps and off ramps but when coming back into the officer and to the active corps from the reserves you have to resonate with the needs of the active corps there are ways to do this for a year for half a year for a number of years and to be drilling so there's a number of programs a number of opportunities and a tip of the hat to the chief of navy reserve and to the navy reserve program who have done amazing things to streamline this program so that we have that continuum of service in the active or in the reserve it's it's really a good process put in place by the by the reserve community this question is from chat MMC shuman pearl harbor navy shipyard is there a process for ensuring reoccurring nav admins are released on time yes there's a process in place sometimes it it doesn't run as smoothly as we'd like but nav admins are reviewed periodically some sooner than others but they have a temporal nature to it and when they complete their their relevancy if you will they're either canceled or they're revised accordingly this question is from chat I worry about the new sailors currently on deployment with the USS John C. Stennis since their turnaround time from the last deployment was so quick what is the U.S. Navy doing to help them cope well what we are doing is we look at them on their deployment we're looking for definite quality of life port visits good port visits quality of service port visits if you will number two when they return we're looking at their schedule very closely to see to it that they get an appropriate return transition they've got a long period of maintenance following that and we're looking very closely at the individuals tempo as well as the home tempo how much they will be home our goal is 50 percent of the time non-deployed at home and the ship's up tempo itself so while we're looking very closely at what the great sailors of the John C. Stennis did as a secretary defense said when he went out and saw them off and spoke to them they are the best option that the country had for the mission that hand out there in the Gulf for them to go out and do what they needed to do and I give a tip of the hat to the John C. Stennis to the team the entire team out there in the entire strike group they turn quickly and very professionally and I thank you very much for that why and see where reserves with the new rc and ac opportunities will there be options for senior enlisted to take part in those billets are any chance to allow e7s to return to underman billets I really haven't heard anything about that cno with the senior enlisted having that opportunity I'd say that you know the options always on the table but we just haven't had the discussion yeah we'll take a look at that and see what's what's are the doable this question is from chat et1 sexti from nrd relay with the way that physical fitness is involving throughout the rest of the world is the navy looking at altering the pfa to fall more in line with current fitness programs well the pfa is uh it's studied all the time trust me I mean everybody out there knows there's always a rumor we're going to do something new but the means by which we measure someone's fitness uh is is acceptable it's worthwhile it's not perfect by any stretch but for the main uh done very well it is looked at very closely by competent medical authority our medical authority from both the physical um evaluation part that is your body in addition to your fitness part uh and there are uh waivers here and there in other words attributes if somebody has an unusual body type and we'll continue to look at that and tweak this as as to try and do the best we can for the vast majority of the sailors and for the purposes of the program lieutenant grant greenwell seawass with increasing cost of lcs and modules our studies being conducted to look at smaller cheaper vessels or conversion of j w j h s v uh yes i am looking at uh smaller cheaper lethal underline vessel opportunities also looking at what a j a joint high speed vessel which is a fast catamaran with a nice flight deck and a lot of volume to to move things quickly through the ocean what can we do to those from crew serve weapons to different modules but with regard to the literal combat ship that is a unique combination of speed and volume uh two types of vessels somewhat different one with a very large helo deck and the other with a very large mission bay under a helo deck uh that each have a special set of attributes you combine that with the mission module capability of mine countermeasure anti-submarine warfare surface warfare if you will and mission and modules that we have yet to to lay out there we think it is a high payback investment right now it looks pretty good so the literal combat ship will be a main part of our navy but we're looking for other options as well that can be effective uh in the relevant the future in lethal this question is from chat sir word on the deck plate is that congress has not yet approved funding for the repair of the uss miami will the repair take place uh i'll answer the last part yes the repair will take place the uh the congress has not completed uh their bill for f y 13 they need to do the authorization and then they'll do the appropriations we have a request in there and it is being viewed right now quite favorably uh by the congress as we interface with the staff to get started in fiscal year 12 uh we've we've requested a reprogramming and that has been viewed with favor it has been approved by the congress we look pretty good new repair of the miami sir this is the last question and it is from chat john guzman new york what advice do you have for a future sailor i will be enlisted in about a year nick pon I can't think of a better person to answer a question for our future sailor my ears are burning I'm going to keep this short and simple but I ask that all of our sailors listening uh pay close attention because success in the navy uh requires in my opinion us to be excellent in three areas one work hard two stay out of trouble and three be a good and decent person both in and out of uniform if you can do those three things I can almost assure you that you will have a successful productive and happy career nicely done I'd like to close with one little clip early one of the early quest earlier questions I had was a rumor for a 10 month deployments in op tempo is a hot topic and it's something that I'm looking at constantly uh let me expand on my answer which was no and I stand by that answer but the fact of the matter is the eisenhower is on about a nine month deployment she was a little late getting out of maintenance and we had a discussion with the leadership that that was going to be a nine month deployment in order for her to kind of catch up and cover the amount of deployment and the uh what was necessary in the world but as we look out there for the rest of f y 13 about eight to eight month in two week deployments uh will be the way our carriers that will be what our carriers are getting as you look across the force it's different for p 3 that's about six month it's different for submarines that's about six month and it's a little different for cruisers and destroyers and so what I'm saying is uh it won't 10 months is not uh the future subject to an entirely different change in the way we do business uh and and but it varies and keep your ear to the ground and ask your leadership where do we stand so that was great um I don't know about you I'm a little hungry uh let's say we have some cake I say we have some cake all right you're not a big cake eater but I know you are a cake eater all right excellent is presenting the cno with a model 1862 amus cutlass from uss constitution this was the standard edge weapon used by seaman through the civil war joining the cno our two sailors representing our proud heritage and war fighting spirit of today bmsr abbey applegate from the uss constitution bmsr applegate is from spearfish south dakota and enlisted in the navy in april 2012 and bm2 nathaniel pennywell from the uss dort bm2 pennywell is from forestville maryland and enlisted in the navy in march 2009 and reenlisted in the navy today as we just saw okay i've seen you uh paid officer applegate using this saber and i know you're pretty good so i trust we can do a cake cutting uh in a good manner all right are we ready everybody all right hand on the saber one two three look up and smile push there mcpon all right well done team all right well done salute to my shipmates here we go all right cake all around cake all around mcpon are you ready i got a little dainy piece for you it's giving you the one did all that talk about the prt and where we're going with it and the importance of it okay here you are red skins fan all right we got a piece all right one more for me we got to make this this will be the diet piece here uh for the elder statesman okay happy birthday everybody happy birthday


I've had the opportunity to watch the work of the patient safety movement over the last 10 plus years and have our health system here at UPMC become very committed to the evidence-based practices. It's been a journey of continuous improvement and seeing safer outcomes for our patients. And so there's been a lot of things that we've implemented as a result of the evidence-based practices that I'm particularly proud of. They start with very simple things like infection reduction, infections across some of our most complex and critically ill patients from little babies in the NICU at the age of 24-25 weeks to people that are facing some of the toughest challenges and transplantation across the country that receive care here that preventing infection in those individuals is keeping them alive. The other thing that we've really worked on though is the culture of safety. It is a culture and it's a culture that has to be driven by leadership and so we as an organization have deeply embraced the culture of safety and have implemented the just culture for us which is our way of saying, you know, we want to hold people accountable but we also want to make sure we're focused on systems and not people as it relates to the source of errors and the opportunities to improve. We actually use our just culture algorithm as a part of every root cause analysis. We are a large health system in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York but we have a lot of remote small rural hospitals and one of the regions has actually experienced a reduction in the overall mortality rate in the region for stroke as a result of some of these interventions that we were just referencing. And that's when you really know you've made a difference in your community and lives that you work to save. We learn every day, we grow every day, we try to take all of the knowledge that we can and implement it so that we're saving as many lives as possible and we're promoting the health and welfare of our employees and our patients.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, hey, hey. Good time. How are you guys doing? Good, good. Hey, your news player's outstanding. I'm telling you, Matt, he is outstanding. And so is the Vernimal Edge. I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I mean, I've been on it now three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. Primal Edge is, you know, people are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now, your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan. Welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to a more balanced than natural, wild world. To recover our natural health and regain our rights and our freedoms. I'm Paige Clark. Good morning. Good morning. It's a beautiful day in downtown St. Petersburg. 69 degrees. The cold spell is coming on. We love those cold spells. It's been a beautiful weekend. I mean, we had the house open. It was like all the pure air was coming in. Yeah, this is why we live here. Hey, why you're at it? Subscribe to our Health Signals newsletter. This is information to keep you healthy and high performing. Yeah. We have issue 21, 22 coming out there later this week. But lots of stuff in there that we talked about the past couple of weeks with you and then with Steven. That was great. I loved seeing Steven on when I was gone. That was wonderful. He's a great guy. And of course, primal edge, one-shot wonder, over 310 cell-ready ingredients, liquid ingredients, so it's easy to take. Gets the good stuff in. And the bad stuff out. And if you are up and at it, give us a call in our studio at<PHONE_NUMBER>. So I wanted to start today. We got a really good program, but I wanted to start kind of with the weather, because of course we got the cold coming in from the north now. And they're not talking about global warming for at least a day or two. But I wanted... I'm thinking a little bit more free. Yeah. But back in March 7th, 2006, the National Science Foundation issued a press release predicting that the amplitude of the solar cycle 24, which is this last solar cycle, would be 30% to 50% stronger than cycle 23. But that didn't really happen. What happened if you look at the chart here, it's actually about 50% lower. This is 25 right here. And so this is part of the prediction that the 25 is going to be a lot shallower. So we're diving a little bit deeper into it. Again, for people that maybe don't always follow this, this solar cycle is showing less solar activity, which means more weather change but actually predictive of a solar, I mean of a grand solar minimum, a cooling as opposed to the heating. This is the solar cycles of the sun. They have two of them. One is the north, and the other one is the south hemisphere. Correct. Each is a little different. So this is 24, about 50% less than 23. And now they're predicting 25 to be even lower than that. If that comes true, then you can see where we're at when we look at the modern minimum, named after the modders, husband and wife. Monder, because if you say modern, people think you're saying the word modern. Monder was an actual time period of 1650 to 1700. Isn't this very interesting? I was just listening to a podcast on our way. Let me interject. And Deborah Chaverez, who's been following all the California fires, she lives in Santa Rosa. You know what's really going on with all of that. And she mentioned that a lot of the researchers that are tied to this are saying that we need to go back to a lifestyle of the 1650s to 1700s. This is literally, you know, so that we can survive before we had all of our technology because we're burning up the planet. So what are they saying? They're actually forecasting that we need that we're going to be going back to that kind of time frame. Well, if you look at what the sciences are talking about behind the scene, of course, I would assume they know that. It's the same with the catastrophe cycle that Ben Davidson talks about. You know, this was brought in by the CIA. So they know there's tragedies that go on. And they definitely know these solar cycles because they're counting them. And this is information from NASA. This is from, you know, the observatory. Well, I don't know if I believe that, but, you know, because... Well, they're the ones who put the satellites up there and they're the ones who are counting the spots. Are you watching any of the Tartarian stuff or the Mudslide or the Grand Reset stuff? It all goes back to, if you read our Wikipedia, which is a lot of created stuff anyways, you got to do it kind of carefully. Like Google? Yeah, Google, exactly. You can go back and forth. And they're going to show you what they want us to see and what they want us to believe. But they always talk about something happen. There were fires. Fires. Napoleon invaded this part of Russia and it was destroyed by fires. Things were coming from the air. Laser-like bullets were coming from the air and things were fired that people had never seen. 1700s. And you and I were talking before the show. And this is what happens during these solar minimums. Grand solar minimums. There's cosmic rays that escape and fires and we've got the technology that can create a more combustible situation. Well, that's true too. Yeah. Yeah, there's no doubt. Smart meters definitely can be exploded. It's crazy. See, we've gotten a little bit more here. These are the, I think, the KP index. Anyway, what I wanted to say is just basically that we're heading towards more of a modern minimum, they think. Right, a modern minimum that's going to be like the Mondeur. Yeah, Mondeur, Mondeur, whatever it is. And again, Nico, in a nutshell for people, what does that mean? And the Mondeur minimum, what was happening? If you were back in 1650 and 1750. The Thames River froze. The Thames River froze. Okay, in Texas they had a couple of years without summers. It wasn't their ice all the way down from Canada and part of the United States was under an ice sheet. Well, not the sheet. That was more of the big ice age, but they certainly had bad weather.  Well, surprisingly, surprisingly. And then the Europeans were coming in and they were just trying to survive too. It was a very, very tough time. Except when you look at all the buildings. So we're already here when we arrived. So we really wonder what was really going on. Yeah, we think that there's probably maybe 100 million people living here before the white man came. That's 100 million. We've got 300 million now. Look at all the fabulous buildings.  There was already some stuff going on. There was a grand reset. Something mysterious happened. And I think this weather's involved. For sure. I agree. Okay, so the other thing was that, of course, spotless days. That's true too. Now here we have a paper about the Arctic warming. And basically what it says, without just reading the whole thing, it's a scientific paper and they researched it and said, well, the stuff in the Arctic, that they say is warming is kind of overblown. It's not really happening. So the Arctic naturally warms around Alaska and stuff when the sunspots come in or when the sunspots go down. So it's a natural cycle here, the Arctic is going to. Who's going to verify it anyways? Is that like you and I? I'll tell you who verified it is the people from the Greenpeace that went up there to try to show, look, there's land here and they get stuck in the ice. This has happened three years in a row. But there's so few people is what I'm saying. You get that and then, but the forces that want to push the global warming agenda, they just keep putting out stuff in the media because the media's fake news. So we have another thing here, which is another one, human beings lived in North America 130,000 years ago. Very important. Now they haven't proved this yet, but this is a piece of bone and it's from a mastodon dated 130,000 years ago. And there's marks on it that people were pulling the flesh off of it. So pretty good indication that something was happening. The animals don't do this, but humans do that. So I just wanted to say, you know, there's a lot of things that we don't know, but in the next segments, we're going to discover some things about our health that we do know. And that's kind of coming of age type of thing where we're trying to expand our lifetimes. We want to be healthy and there's a lot of stuff about that. So we're going to talk about that next. Yeah, let's try. We'll be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you.

We've been talking a lot about kind of what was going on to primal man, but also we have to look at future man and how we stay healthy and survive. And one of the things that you've been researching is a nutrient or supplement that's been heavily researched at Harvard and tells more... Coenzyme. Yeah, it's a coenzyme that we essentially need to stay healthy and our body makes it. And there's been other sources. We've been talking about the nutrient of the resveratrol. And many of us have said, well, should we take resveratrol or should we drink wine or we'd have to drink 50 bottles of wine? Which is not a bad idea. And to get enough, right? But let's kind of go into information about NAD. And many people have heard of NAD+, and we're going to go over a few reasons of why you might want to put it on your health radar. And Nico and Ellen have been experimenting with it. Yeah, NAD+, which stands for nicotinamide adenine denucleotide. It's a coenzyme, essential. You can't live without it. It's part of your cellular energy production. Yeah, and it keeps yourself healthy and functioning so you can live a healthy and longer life. But the NAD levels decline with age. That's right. And the NAD levels decline. The health declines too. Dr. Sinclair has been working on this. He's a Harvard grad, top of his class. One of the great scientists we have in the United States. And one of the reasons I kind of, usually I'm very cutting edge with everything on longevity, longevity stuff. But everything that I would see about it was coming from one company, which is probably tied to the research. But I'm ready to take a closer look at it. This comes from that one company, Elysium. Elysium Health. But it's such a good explanation and we're going to get into other articles that do similar things. Right. And then we're going to talk about the risk and also the precursors and MNR. MNR. Okay, another acronym. This is another part of the coenzyme. Yeah. It's actually, I'll tell you, let me give you a nutshell. You know, we can get NAD+, from things we eat, like milk and yeast and vegetables. But it's basically NAD+, which we need as we age, is made with two ingredients. And that's a form of vitamin B3 called nicotinamide robicide, or NR for short, and terastilbine, a compound that also helps your cells stay healthy. So it's really a derivative of the niacin B vitamins. Yeah, they claim that one-two punch of these ingredients will give your body exactly what it needs to keep your NAD levels high. And we had talked about this maybe six or seven months ago, and I told you I was taking one of the precursors for that because the NAD itself wasn't available at the time. NAD+. NAD+. Wasn't available at that. But let's go over some of these reasons. Ten reasons why you might want to pay attention. Yeah, NAD+, is the key to cellular energy. Do you think of maybe energy drinks or coffee? Or everyone who's abusing coffee, maybe they should be doing NAD+. That's beneficial cellular energy. Yeah, and what we're all trying to do is the ATP, which is the energy molecule that we want in our cells, this is the reason for it. And NAD+, plays a real role in creating that. It's a coenzyme that's part of the ATP production. Yeah, and it's the one that wakes it kind of up. So the other thing is that it declines with age. Right, that's number two. And the body needs it, but it doesn't have an endless supply. And the older we get, the less we produce. What's new? So we found that supplementing NAD+, has led to positive health outcomes. And that's stuff we want to know. Number three, you can get more. Well, just wait a minute. There were two human studies that proved in 2012 that human skin, and then again in 2015 in the human brain, that these findings were critical because they mirrored what we already knew happens in other animals because we weren't experimenting on us. We were experimenting first on nematodes and then on mice and other bacteria and things like that. So it's important that animal studies have also shown that the boosting of the NAD+, levels led to positive health outcomes. So the animal data led scientists to apply the same name to humans. And this is how it went. So really what this tells me, I go back to that book that I think is very transformative is TS Wiley's book, Lights Out. I told you it's worth reading, whether a man or a female, that really when hormones decline, and I'm going to say when enzymes decline, because I'm kind of an enzyme nutrition person. I studied at the food enzyme institute. Well, that's what carries everything, right? Enzymes are the power to do work. And as we die, as we get older, our production of endogenous enzymes decreases. And as we know, this is a coenzyme, meaning it's a cofactor, an enzyme production. So any time these things decline, it's nature's way of taking us out. And if we want to not get taken out, we look at ways to stimulate this. Yeah, and I think it's important for people to understand too, in nature doesn't have a real need for us to go on after we reproduce. Right, with animals, they don't live that long after that. They have babies, babies, babies, and then a few years and then they're gone. With human beings, we stop having babies. Interesting though, women will get other things, as nature takes them out, hormonal decline. Men will stay viral a little longer because they need to have something seeding the young women, right? However, that book that I was telling you that I love it, she says nature's way of taking out men is the insulin. The men get the big belly, so the body still produces testosterone, but slowly creates the heart disease with the insulin belly. I know we got off track. Let's go back to this. How can you get more of NAD+. You can boost the declining levels of this by the precursors, which are molecules that start one thing and then change chemically to become NAD+. And there's two precursors. One is the NMN. Okay. And NMM changes to the NR. Okay.  So it dissolves itself into NR and then goes into the cells and becomes NAD. So we assume when we take precursors that our body is going to know what to do with it. That's always, and that's why some people go, well, I'd rather just take the real stuff but it's expensive. Yes. Or was, you know. Is there an advantage to taking the NAD+, and then the NR and then the NMN too. Maybe all three and make sure you have yourself covered and then add the resveratol later on. And some people might say, why don't you just take cheap niacin? Yeah. Well, these are all parts of niacin, definitely. Yes. However, but you know, just so you know, we're talking about this time magazine profiled it in the longevity issue. Yeah. And I went fully mainstream in 2018. There was a big push and I was concerned that it was kind of a marketing thing, but we'll see. And it was in this issue, and scientists have yet to discover a longevity elixir that stands up to medical scrutiny. Well, is that the truth? Is it medical scrutiny or they haven't found anything that they can kind of maybe patent or make money on? I don't know. Well, I mean, I learned from my Qigong. Goji berries produce this stuff and the Chinese Qigong masters would live to be 200. So, you know, what's the answer? Next one is NAD plus has the attention of Nobel. Laureates. Yeah. Nobel Prize. Nobel Prize levels. People are looking at it. And that influences me at all. But the NAD supports the Shikadian rhythm. There's something that I'm impressed with. That's important right there. Yeah. So we have this 24-hour clock that runs and tells you when to wake up and when to go to sleep and dictates a lot of how your hormones are dispensed in your body. Body temperature, metabolism and hormones. Exactly. And this works in conjunction with all of that. So that makes sense. Yeah. The next one is that NAD makes a healthy DNA. That protects it, I guess. That's crucial. Remember, DNA is your blueprint. Right. You can have a great blueprint, but if you don't have the right raw materials, you're not going to build the right body. Yes. Think of your DNA as a strand of Christmas material, Christmas-free lights. And if the strand is slightly and neatly wound, then the lights all go up and you have a lower risk. But if, of course, one of those bulbs is out and then slowly but surely you've got one bulb. So it might be something you would look into. Nico will probably keep us posted on it, right? Definitely so. We'll be right back. We'd like to tell you about the personal training studio that Nico is the owner and president of, Performance Training.

So I have another one here from Bulletproof and he's got an article of his NAD plus the NTA finger built. And here's what science says and a lot of it's a repeat of it So there's a section here about the levels of NAD and aging. Does your cells use NAD to make serotonin proteins work? Proteins that regular regulate. Is that not serotonin I just want to preface this. Is that serotonin? Serotonin is serotonin our longevity compounds that help repair the telomeres. Yeah. Okay, serotonin. Sorry about that. Not just serotonin, it's nothing too. Proteins that regulate the biological pathways cause serotonin to protect the cells from the age related decline. Serotonins play a critical role in maintaining the length of those telomeres just like they said. But the way I wanted this to go over this is they have some recommendations here. In case you want to get started. Yeah. And you don't want to put up with the problems that come from these drops that they have. It says here's some ways to boost your levels. Take NAD supplements. NAD comes in capsule forms in the easy to find. That one brand you said is kind of pricey though, right? It's about 50 bucks a month per person. So yeah, I would say it's pricey. But I mean the primal edges are like $89. Of course that's got so much more in it. Right. This is one nutrient. The other recommendation is follow a high fat and low carb diet. Being into COSIS, the state where your body uses fat instead of glucose for energy increases the NAD plus to NADH. You want higher amounts of the NAD plus because it protects the cells from oxidated stress and imbalance between the free radicals and the antioxidants in your body contributes to the aging. Well, they also talk about doing the intermittent fasting, you know. Yeah. And the reason for this is when Dr. Sinclair was talking about this, they've identified that this gene, this longevity gene which is a combination of all these things depends on the length of time between eating. This is when it's activated. So the longer you stretch out the eating, the space between the eating, the more of the NAD plus is produced in your body. And that makes total sense to me. That's when we kick into our repair mode. Exactly. The body, that's the whole concept of autophagy. Right. Or eating ourselves. Exactly. Our body says, hey, I don't have to digest any food. That's right. She's not putting stuff down the tank. I can work on repairing her skin. Yeah. I can fix the eyes. Yeah. So what Sinclair and all these doctors were talking about in this podcast I was listening to was that most of these guys now are eating once a day, maybe twice a day. And they're really trying to stretch that out. And they really don't say, Sinclair came out really and said it's more important than the food you're eating. And what they do when they eat once a day though is they feast. Yeah. They get their whole... He says it's a two hour period. Where they're getting almost all their calories for the day. Yeah. And if you're eating nutrient dense foods, some fats. And I think it really doesn't matter what she kind of, you know, just eat healthy food. Well, that's kind of what he says. Yeah. Eating healthy food. Naturally.  But it doesn't really matter if you're eating vegetables or if you're eating. And I follow this couple in Vancouver Island that just bought like eight acres there and they're vegetarians. He's the guy that I started spinning staff, spinning and stuff with. And he's been out there now for a year. He's a vegetarian. He's a vegetarian. Yeah. And doing it really well. These people look really good. But if you look at how they're gathering food and what they're doing the food, I mean, they spend tons of time grazing, getting their food and then preparing it by doing all the things that we always... And cooking it to bring down all the cellulose. Yeah, fermenting it and having mushrooms, all the essential things. Right. So they're doing it the right way in a subtropical way. I think more unusual. I think if you lived there naturally, you would be eating more animals. But good for them. I'm really liking this and they go on to talk about another supplement that helps it. But I don't really think we need to get into that. That's another supplement that they're marketing here.   When I wake up in the morning, I do have my coffee and I add a little bit of my cream. Okay, that kind of, you know, the bullet proof however you might... I don't really do that much anymore. I don't know. I just don't... I don't feel like I need it. I like my cream or butter in there and I whip it. I have no interest in eating. I could go all the way until dinner time and then I like to have a big meal and I seem to feel better. Maybe I'll have a lunch. But I really think there's a lot to decreasing the stress. Well, I think it makes sense that our ancestors probably had one feast.  Well, it's not that so much. I think they had more time than you think because if you're a hunter and gather, you've got some time. You've got that afternoon siesta time. What you do have is time to really bond with the people around you and build your shelter and the commune, something that's lost in our modern world because we spread everything out. We want people to move away from the house. We want your children seen by people you don't know. We want education to take you away from the house. We want your job to take you away from your family. That's the way our society is built. Intentional on that doesn't make any difference. It's happening. If we tried to really sit down with a more primitive person or people living in a traditional culture, they'd probably roll their eyes at the way we live our life. I'm rolling them all the time. Let's talk about the Risveratrol. The reason I like this article as it relates to this whole conversation about the NAD plus. Is it a fad? Is it the future of longevity? It kind of comes back to many of us have known that Risveratrol has up until this point been the golden girl of anti-aging. This is something that my wife and I started taking about ten years ago. When you introduced me to the fermented form, then we started taking that. It's important because now they're saying the Risveratrol works hand in hand with the NAD and actually enhances it maybe ten times. Oh really, ten times. So do the NAD plus and then do the fermented Risveratrol and you're really giving it a boost. Let's go back to it. The Risveratrol that would be needed in wine would not be realistic. I know. But another thing about Risveratrol is it actually does a lot for glucose and insulin signaling and that's why I think again what did we talk about the NAD plus and having one meal a day? It's regulating that insulin spike by doing that. So it's interesting. Recent research suggests that it may be possible to reverse microchondrial decay with dietary supplements to increase cellular level of a molecule called NAD. There we go. But caution is due while there's promises testing data to attest to data in animal research regarding the NAD boost. There's no clinical trials in humans have been published. So that's the whole point you said today. They had promising animal studies but nothing really. Not only animal studies because I think that's kind of wrong because they took it down to the cellular level. Remember they first did it with nematodes and nematodes only live a few minutes so you can tell when that produces a 30% increase really easy. Then they started doing it in mice. It makes more sense to me that they're doing it on a level of the cell and it doesn't really matter. If you're doing it with a mammal I think the cell works. I want to say this though because I like my raw milk. It says as we know NAD is a linchpin of longevity and the supplements that contain NAD or NR precursor to NAD that's found in trace amounts in milk. See milk is always vilified but milk is a super food. It's what we do to the milk when we pasteurize it and leave all those dead bacteria and then serve it up in a grocery store. Well make sure that your child is getting all the stuff it needs for that first two years of life. It's getting pumped full of this and all the other things that are going on with it. So I think it's an important thing. I like the subject. We'll be back. Take a break. Let's do something that's good for you.

I'm kind of giving you an overview of NAD+, a longevity supplement that's natural and a lot of companies have produced it because the fact that the NAD+, helps to produce more sirtuins, which is a compound that a protein that repairs the telomeres, the tips of the shoelaces of our DNA and keeps us young and keeps our mitochondria healthy. And when they did that paper, the group out of Harvard, they showed the way that NAD and sirtuins work together and that they discover the cells in the mitochondria and it helps us keep normal operation. Yeah, it's the SIRT which is a part of the sirtuins. Sirtuins, excuse me, helps ensure that the signal gets through. When the NAD levels drop as they do with aging, the SIRT activity falls off, which in turn makes crucial signals fade leading to the mitochondria dysfunction and the ill effects that go along with it. You were telling me during the break, you know, NAD boosters might work synergistically with supplements like resveratrol, which has always been the longevity elixir to reinvigorate mitochondria and ward off the disease of aging and, you know, that one company that's kind of backed by Sinclair for research says he's banking on this potential synergy because they have created a supplement that combines the NR with the resveratrol like substance. And the pterostylbenes, it's pterostylbenes, it's actually found in blueberries and grapes. And again, those dark purple, dark colored things, which is very interesting. Yeah, so it says here, while resveratrol has hogged all the anti-aging spotlights over the past decade, scientists, researchers in places like Oxford, Mississippi have shown that the pterostylbenes pterostylbenes is a kind of extra potent version of resveratrol. So that's the kind of distilled version of it. This is very interesting, Nico, because I think I mentioned to you, and I need to follow it up, there's a company that's doing a lot of research on this and they have a very cost effective pterostylbenes, something they've actually wanted us to talk about it, so we'll get back on that. Yeah, well what this does, it makes the compounds bioavailable, kind of like the humic and fulvic acid of the primal edge does to us, so it tells the cells, wake up, accept this, and you're going to be fine. So test tube and rodent studies also suggest that this is more potent than resveratrol when it comes to improving brain function and warding off various kinds of cancer. That's exciting. Yeah, so really how excited should we be about this if we're kind of like a middle aged mouse?  It says here that mice on a high fat diet gain 60% less weight than they did at the same diets without the ENR. So when you use this precursor then the weight drops off. And that might be great for some of us that have been on, you know, we've talked a little bit about a lot of women, particularly those with thyroid dysfunction, don't actually get their weight down when they're doing primal and keto, they're just not able to use that energy. This might be a missing secret bullet. Very possibly. And this is kind of why I think when you get more into the carnivore type of diet, like I was always 174 all through my jitsu life and lately I went down to 168 and now I'm about 166 and I feel better and better.  And that works for you, but for me it really doesn't work. I think other things probably work for me too. This is just a nice balance for me, so it works really well. What I want to do now is go to the next article that talks about the N-M-N and the N-A-N-R which are the precursors. Yes, some people might say, okay, I don't want to take the actual substance, I'd rather take the precursors and let my body figure out how to make it. Well, they just started promoting the NAD by itself because they didn't know really how to make it, so they had a new one on the block, sort of. But I'm thinking that the way it kind of works is that the N-M-N is a larger molecule that transforms into the N-R. Well, most precursors are always that. Pregnanolone is a precursor hormone, the grandmother hormone, and from Pregnanolone, we make all the sex hormones, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and then they break down. The N, for short, is a precursor for NAD, but it's too large, so it changes itself to the N-R. Now, my question to you during the break was I'm taking the N-M and have been for maybe six or seven months along with the Resveratol. Now, should we be taking all these things, the N-R and the N-A-D? I don't know. And this is an interesting question. Which one do you take? I invite everybody to do their own research and then decide what it is, but all three of them have that benefit. I'm wondering if it's worth your while if you can afford it. The first one, the N-M-N, is relatively inexpensive. You can find it for $20, $30. The N-R, very similar. The N-A-D, a little bit more expensive. So basically, as you go from the precursor to more the targeted coenzyme, seems to be less money, but the question is if I'm on a precursor, you're assuming the body's going to do and that all the other ingredients that are needed to take that precursor, for example, let me use an example. You know, in order to make thyroid, it's made from cholesterol. It's a hormone, all hormones. Actually, cholesterol is the master substance. Then pregnenolone, then the other hormones. And you wonder why people in the United States who are on the statins and things like that. It's crazy. If you don't have enough vitamin A, and I'm not talking about beta-carotene from carrots, if you don't get retinol, fat-soluble vitamin A, you're not going to be able to make that, and if you don't have enough progesterone, you're not going to be able to make the thyroid hormone. And regardless of whether or not, you know, and that's the issue. So if you can afford it, a lot of people might say to take the whole coenzyme. Yeah. And that's kind of what Clara was leaning towards that, because she says now they have the basis of the NAD plus, which works quite well too. So I'm thinking, why not experiment around a little bit, then take one for a while, take another one for a while, maybe the third one for a while and see what happens. You know, I don't know. I think as we go along, we're going to get much more information about this and what exactly it does. Well, this is what it says. At the end of the day, what we know is that when compared to other precursors, so there's your question there, NR is more efficient than I guess NMA? Yeah, because it has to be NR to go in the cell. Yeah, the latest research on NMN could prime it to be the next great vitamin B3, but for now, more research in humans is needed to better understand how beneficial it could be and how it might stack up against NR. One possibility is that each precursor could provide varying benefits depending on the target, especially transporters like the recently discovered one in the gut are only available in specific cells of the body. So, for now, lots of unknowns, but it does sound like since the majority of our aging diseases are actually mitochondrial. And mitochondrial diseases are greatly impacted not so much by the genes, but by our environment and our circadian rhythm. It appears that some of these nutrients and their cofactors and what comes about by their interaction can greatly help us maintain a healthier metabolic profile. Yeah, and I'm just wondering if there's a difficulty in one compound going to the next compound and while there's NMN goes to NR is there some problem there that maybe that doesn't happen? Time will say, whoa, you'll have to keep us posted and we'll keep up to date on all the longevity of the stuff. Be back.

Well, you know, I believe like I made the comment that much of the media is social conditioning for things yet to come. It's a foreshadowing. So what are they telling? Well, here one lab grown meat is coming whether you like it or not. A whole article on that. I'm going to throw this out to the health signals. Now remember guys, if we have a grand solar minimum and the powers that being know that's coming would they not want to foreshadow that we might be really having food scarcities and make things that are not normal like maggots being added to your sausage? Here's one by Fox News. New York Post added to your sausage. It's a good alternative. Swedish behavior scientists is just eating humans to save the planet. That's kind of a nutty one. Yeah. It is in the media and the media is really designed to create social thinking. There's another one here. Of course, the food system is collapsing now. This comes from Australia. I say to Farmer. I'm more likely to believe him than the rest. Yeah, he's a great guy to watch. There's a lot of things happening. Walmart is going to have building crop polluting pollinating. They're going to create artificial bees to pollinate. Yeah. And a salmon hatchery to raise the nation's first genetically modified animals. These are the salmon that they have in Canada now. Of course, Bill Gates is backing a quest to create a genetically modified super cow. What could be wrong there? They can make more milk than European cows. Yeah, and then the scientists think that cockroach milk might be the next super food. Oh my God, there's nothing worse than that. Yeah, you would think, but in a lab maybe they're clean and they remember reading the book Papillon. And Papillon You mean the movie? Well, they had a movie, but before the movie was a book. The book is amazing. It goes into this whole detail that Papillon never ate anything that they gave him. He ate the worms and the cockroaches. Yeah, and that's how he survived. I did love that movie. I forgot about that movie. There was, I guess, two of them now. I never saw the modern version of it. Oh my gosh. I got to text myself to remember to put it on my list. I want to go on that you think, well this is kind of nutty, but maybe cockroaches aren't that nutty if they're clean. But even Papillon survived eating it out of probably the worst conditions ever. That's for sure. Thanks for sticking around. We'll see you next week, folks. Have a great day. Bye bye.


Well welcome to the ITUs headquarters here in Geneva. It's day three and of course the final day as we look at what's been achieved and what people be taking back with them for future goals and I'm happy to have with me another of the senior researchers from Facebook who have come here It's Antoine Baudet So tell me Antoine, why have you come to the AI for good Global Summit? Yeah, thank you for welcoming me Facebook is investing a lot in AI and especially in open research for AI we do a lot of research with the academic community but also with some partners and it's very important for us to Participate in all the discussion in the three days to try to shape up where AI is going and how we can do AI for good And from Facebook's point of view Where is AI going from here? So I mean this is the this is the big question and this is the question that comes up in all the session That's very interesting to hear people actually try to shape up what's what's going to happen I think for Facebook what's more important is like to try to get a better understanding at content Better understanding at what the text mean what an image mean what a video means that basically it's easier for Facebook to actually share it with the right person at the right time And also being able to to interpret the content better. That's that's the key motivation now Facebook on a regular basis faces issues about data and privacy and that's been a big subject here So where does Facebook stand on that? Yes So in terms of AI research actually our stand has been to be completely open and transparent in the sense that our lab Facebook AI research publishes all its results in a journal or peer-reviewed conference and open source almost all of its code So we don't try to hide any secret plan behind closed doors We try to be as much open and engage with the academic community to build New AI tools all together. What about private data? You know your clients data. Yeah, so that's Of course, that's one of Facebook big resources But I would say this is not what's driving most of our AI research right now Because and not even at the AI research lab where I'm from because we are open Of course, we use it for our products, but I would say it's a different stage here We're about to talk about where I is going where I is going in the future and I would say the data at Facebook is more used the product today Using basically the advances that we do. So finally you're based in New York. Has this trip been worth it? Yeah, yeah, that's great. I mean Yeah, I'm learning a lot actually about how AI is perceived by other actors like I was at the smart city breakout yesterday And I will a lot about how people like ruling cities and try to decide for what's the city are going to be in 15 20 years and how AI is going to shape up this. It's not exactly the way I'm seeing AI in my day-to-day life at Facebook in the lab It's super interesting to basically be able to share this perspective. Okay, well great Antoine Thanks very much for your insight. Thank you. That's Antoine Bordes from Facebook who's come here to see how AI Could change and what Facebook's role will be with that of course in the future. Thank you again. Thank you You


What's up everybody Jason here from jazby's case breaks calm We just sold out 2020 Panini contenders baseball. This is a four box break pick your teams number eight so again If you bought two or more teams you have a chance to win up to 500 dollars in breakfast So the way it works guys if you buy two teams you get one entry by four teams You get two entries by six teams you get three entries and so on as long as you get two teams per Purchase or however many teams you get increments of two you get a spot and then If you only buy one team guys, you will not be entered into winning some break credit But good luck to you and when we do that randomizer We'll take all the customers that got entries and put them in randomizer and the top five customers will win a hundred bucks each So we'll alphabetize this list here for number eight and Then count it up and then top five or five customer names. We'll win a hundred bucks each guys and I believe number seven would have been from a fresh case so Number eight had some loose boxes with some little X's on the side of the box So letting me know that that was from the same case.  Let's pull some fire guys Alrighty, well, we already got a redemption Could be Luis Robert Andres Munoz for San Diego And what we'll do guys for the cuss for the team or players that are not affiliated here on the card I'll have to look at the checklist by group break and then we'll do all those at the end of the break Now take it Elvis Andres Willie Castro Mauricio Dubon 75 Giants gonna Anthony Chan John and Hernandez for Texas and Patrick Sandoval for the Angels All right, let's see This is Luis Robert. I hope it is rookie ticket car number 119 Luis Robert there you go Josh with the white socks Very nice very nice Let's quickly just Next one our next autograph Is a prospect crochet So we'll take a look and see what team you place for on group break check us at the end of the break and we'll tag them I'll let you guys know Just to move it along. Of course, we'll go to the next couple of boxes draft ticket here of show Hill Tony That's 299 and Mike Brasau Bryce elder for Atlanta Rockberg for Texas rookie ticket Nick Bitzko And we got Jared Kelly Draft tickets a 99 Not sure Tony. We usually take months in between Just to give us enough time to go out and get these cards that we want to put in bigot Express So I think the last time we did bigot Express before doing it last month Probably wasn't until wasn't like in April. I think it took us like four months Four or five months April or June or yeah, April May one of those times we did it. So I Know Nick said he would hint at maybe doing a little mini Maybe at the end of the year by December, but I mean if not probably sometime in the new year I assume it's gonna get very very busy with products coming out these last two months So I think that'll be something we'll just hang on to maybe the beginning of the year in January, February Well, they're Rodriguez, but it's perfect big hit Express. It takes time to acquire in these cards draft ticket a salacy Mike Levinger draft tickets and Matt Mervis Rookie of the Year contenders Wow, look at that cracked ice and everything for the Cincinnati or Not since yeah Cincinnati Reds show go six out of 23 Cincinnati Reds. It's going to George. Very nice, man They know it's crazy about that the Andrew Hopkins catches is the Jordan gloves just sticking out right there Kavali Javon Moore or warts are later, man, that was from Milwaukee and Gary Goldberg Sabato All right, let me quickly just Top blow these autos and then we'll get to the last box Last box guys Emerson Hancock nice at a 15 Little diamond ticket and again, that'll be Looked at at the end of the break to see who that goes to real group break checklist Little draft ticket here for the Chicago White Sox Lucas Jolito and Brandon Lowe or Lowe, I should say Tampa Bay Ray is going to Josh Jevon Ward from Milwaukee another one there for Gary Debbie grew on rookie ticket there for Philadelphia mixed over with the Phillies All right last two packs are guys and Aaron Sabato 75 and Patrick Bailey So a lot of draft tickets here, so we're gonna have to search up quite a few of these But hey, if you went hit list right now, you still have a chance to get these players here Since at the top of my head don't know who these guys got drafted by our affiliated with now So we'll look up one two three four five six seven eight nine autographs here And then let me top of the last couple here, and then we'll do a little quick recap as well So here you go guys Milwaukee, Atlanta with that hit Texas Cubs Tampa Bay Cincinnati Louise Robert Redemption for the White Sox Under his millennials for San Diego Detroit. You got San Francisco here. You got Texas Angels Tampa Bay again Milwaukee and Philadelphia And of course you have these numbered draft tickets As well to go through there. So let's quickly look these up guys and let's uh See you these are gonna go to So let's actually pull up group break checklist since they do have the checklist For these teams that are not On carbon connection, so let's go to contenders Let's print out Put out nine of these here. Let's go team view and quickly just tag all these So it's about those for the twins, and I think you got like two of them here. So twins Twins owner you're gonna get a couple more of these. It's about that I think we pulled two of them and one of them was numbered to 75. The other was just non-emerged So Minnesota twins that is gonna go to Raymond.   That's another one for Josh there It's Lacey's Royals Kansas City it's gonna Gary Goldberg and Cade Cavalli is Washington Nationals going to Gary Goldberg And there you go guys. That was the break. So now let's quickly switch scenes Remember if you bought two or more teens, you have a chance to win $500 in break credit depending on how many entries you get So here you go, Anthony. You have Eight entries or eight spots so that equals four entries for you, buddy So you could potentially take four out of the five Down you with two at Ed with two You guys get both an entry Gary Goldberg got four George got one So two and one Josh with three so that's just one entry Josh T with two next over with two. So that's one entry here Raymond with The one there and SKS with the one there So there you go very nice boom Let's roll the dice and we got ourselves a three and a one four times. So good luck four times top five get a hundred bucks each one two three four four times three and a one Josh Gary Anthony Josh T and Ed Aaron. So there you go Congratulations, so I'll send out this break credit codes to you guys Right now at the end of this video. So appreciate you guys Jaspys case breaks calm


Every safer choice product has to include only the chemicals that are on our safer chemical ingredient list. So unlike most labels out there, we really look at every single chemical in that formulation. We know what the chemicals are and we know how they interact with each other. Rather than saying something is free of a particular chemical, we're looking at the whole thing. So I think that's what really sets a safer choice apart. It's an EPA-owned label, so it takes all of the information that we have here at EPA to bring into doing this analysis. It really helps with that choice to feel confident.
