Hello everyone and thank you so much for joining. My name is Sarah Miller and I'm our Director of Partnerships here at the Patient Safety Movement Foundation and today we're very excited and honored to have the University of Vermont Medical Center team here with us to accept our virtual five star award. So before we get started I'd love to pass it over to Dave to introduce yourself. Thank you Sarah. It's an honor to be here today. These are some of the most important events we hold every year. So we'll get to the ceremony in a second but my name is Dave Mayer. I serve volunteer wise as the CEO for the Patient Safety Movement Foundation and for those that aren't aware of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation a little background is we were founded in 2012 by a visionary Joe Chiani who really believed that achieving zero preventable harm could be done if we all put an urgency and an effort towards it and under Joe's leadership the organization has really become a global organization now. We're in 54 countries over 4800 hospitals that we work in collaboration and partnership with. Trying to achieve that goal of zero preventable harm by 2030 we call it the patient safety moonshot. Let's get to zero by the end of this decade but I'm delighted to be here with the UVM leadership team in honoring that fine health system for the remarkable work they've done. They started back in 2013 made their first commitment. They've now made over 25 commitments including the culture of safety survey and commitment to achieve the highest quality culture across their system and that was in 2017 and thus really delivered on what we look for in a five-star health system. So it is my honor to present the five-star hospital award to the UVM leadership team and congratulate them for outstanding work the amount of lives they have saved over the last 10-12 years. Thanks Dave and UVM we'd love to kind of get some background on each of you and give some background about why you were passionate about achieving this award and any great initiatives that you're currently working on. Thank you Sarah. My name is Dr. Steve Leffler. I'm the president and chief operating officer of the UVM Medical Center. I'm an emergency physician by training and so I just want to say that at the UVM Medical Center keeping our patients safe is the foundation for everything that we do every day. It's also one of the most difficult and complex aspects of our work because it involves every single one of us in so many different ways. Patient safety is truly everyone's responsibility at the Medical Center whether our job is clinical in nature or not. Our patient safety team led by Lori Notowitz does an incredible job leading us in this work, providing us with guidance and a framework for the advancement of the very many patient safety initiatives that we undertake consistently around the clock throughout the year. Last week we observed patient safety awareness week with a great engagement from so many of our staff. This week I'm so proud joining my colleagues and accepting the award from the Patient Safety Movement Foundation and reaffirm our shared commitment to patient safety. Dr. Patrick Bender will talk more about our specific efforts to reduce preventable harm and constantly improve patient safety. But I also wanted to start by thanking all of our employees for all they do every single day to help us deliver patient care, safe patient care to every patient that we serve. From the bedside on our inpatient floors to our operating rooms, our clinics and our community vaccination site, every person at this organization has a role to play in this critically important work. I also want to thank the Patient Safety Movement Foundation for advocacy on behalf of people all over the United States and across the world. Those are our patients now or who may become patients in the future. Your work helps support hospitals like ours and our constant effort to improve and we're so proud to partner with you. With that I'll turn it over to Dr. Bender and Lori to talk about some of the initiatives that we're undertaking. Thank you. Hi everybody, my name is Patrick Bender. I'm an anesthesiologist by training and I'm the Vice President for Quality here at the Medical Center. I just want to take a minute to talk about our culture of patient safety here at the Medical Center. We are really committed to implementing best practices that are known to reduce patient harm. Something as simple as the checklist that we use and the care bundles that we use to help prevent catheter associated bloodstream infections are really impactful and we do a good job of implementing as many of those as possible. And I think the results that we've seen here have shown that that commitment is paying off to keep our patients safe. The other thing I'd like to mention is our staff at every level of the organization are real patient safety advocates. We have a very strong culture of patient safety advocacy and every single one of our staff members is empowered to alert us to any potential patient safety situations that they see and because of their strong advocacy we're able to understand when there is a threat to patient safety before it actually reaches the patient and we're able to make you know the changes necessary in our system to prevent that from actually occurring and any harm reaching the patient. So it really is attributable to everybody in this organization that maintains our strong culture of safety. And even especially through the last year where so many places around the country in the world that's really struggled with patient safety and the stress of COVID we've been able to weather that storm relatively successfully and I think it's because of that strong culture that we have throughout. So really this award is attributable to each and every person that works here and I can't thank them enough. So and thank you to the Foundation for presenting this award to us. And I'm going to hand it over to our Director of Patient Safety, Gloria Noto. Thank you Patrick. Thank you Steve. Thank you to the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. We we are so honored to receive this award. It's been a pleasure working with you since 2013 to improve patient safety across the United States and across our organization through the use of your apps. I would like to just say thank you also to our leadership team because without the leadership team we would not be able to implement the safety initiatives that we that we would like and we have the support of the safety of the leadership team. And also I would like to say thank you to the wonderful Patient Safety Department team. An amazing group of dedicated professionals passionate about patient safety who do this work every day along with all of the doctors and the nurses and the technicians and the food service workers and the environmental service workers and everybody who works in this organization. Patient safety is truly embedded into the culture. So thank you so much for this award. It's it's a great honor. Thank you. I was just going to add just a couple things and then you could close us out. But thanks to all of you. Your words and your messages are inspiring. University of Vermont Medical Center is truly a role model for others across the country. You embrace safety and you've shown it can save lives and make a big difference. So again my congratulations. We're delighted to continue to partner with you and achieve our mission of zero preventable harm. So again thank you and keep up the great work. Great and to echo Dave's comments we can't thank you enough. So we were so excited to welcome you into our network as a five star hospital and again we look forward to continuing all this great work with you guys. Thank you. Thank you.


The great thing about Tetraed Istio subscription is that from a technology perspective, there's not much I need to say here. It is just pure open source Istio that we are not adding anything to it. We understand for that particular customer base, it's very important that there's no vendor added component. So all they're getting is just Istio and we package it as Tetraed Istio distro, which is just, it's basically us making it easier to get the distribution. Hi, this is your host, Sapil Bharti and welcome back here for Newsroom and today we have with us, once again, David Bang, head of product at Tetraed. David, it's great to have you back on the show. Yes, it's great to be here. Thank you for having me again. Just remind our viewers what is Tetraed all about. Tetraed as a company is dedicated to helping organizations achieve security, network security and availability for their Kubernetes and microservices workloads. So we have a portfolio of products, such as Tetraed Service Bridge and we talked earlier about Tetraed Service Express and now we're going to talk about Tetraed Istio subscription. And I remember when we talked about the new folks announced Tetraed Service Express. So I also want to talk a bit about, just also quick recap, what is that? And then let's talk about Tetraed Istio subscription. What is the difference between the two? Is it the different audience? Is the different offerings? So let's just get into the details now. Our general goal is to provide security availability for workloads and the portfolio basically are different approaches to providing that to our end users. So what we talked about earlier, Tetraed Service Express and Service Bridge are meant for platform teams who are taking a transformational approach. They want a service mesh platform that extends beyond just a pleasure to even Kubernetes. They want ready-to-go services for app teams to deploy. That is, we know that there's a different segment in the market and different set of users that just want to build their own on top of Istio. What they're looking for is somebody to help them with 100% pure open source Istio to get their objectives done. And they're not really looking to buy a proprietary platform. So for that, we have Tetraed Istio subscription. What we offer there is really three things. One is enterprise support, global enterprise support with strict SOAs, 400% open source Istio. The second thing we offer is backporting CVEs beyond community support CVE fixes. And that's very relevant because today we just, we're hearing about a new Envoy CVE that just emerged very recently. And the last one is to help people who are trying to operate Istio in a FedRAMP environment. They need FIPS-verified cryptos and we provide that to our customers. So same end state, more security and more availability, but different paths, transformational with a ready-to-go platform or build your own with Istio. What does this subscription mean for Istio users who are using, because Istio is an open source project? Of course, this is the whole model around open source, fully open source project and then commercial support around that. So talk about it from that perspective and also from the core basis perspective, from the technologies perspective. I would say the great thing about Tetraed Istio subscription is that from a technology perspective, there's not much I need to say here. It is just pure open source Istio that we are not adding anything to it. We understand for that particular customer base, it's very important that there's no vendor added component. So all they're getting is just Istio and we package it as Tetraed Istio distro, which is just, it's basically us making it easier to get the distribution, to help them with their build pipelines, but we don't really do anything to Istio itself. And in terms of how we offer it, we try to make it simple such that, all we are looking, the way we sort of scale our offering is by the number of Kubernetes clusters you're installing Istio on. So everything about it is very simple because we understand for people who are building this platform, what they want is simplicity. So, and the idea is with the CVE support and also the FIPS verified builds, it's all just about helping people who want to build on top of pure Istio, like a faster path into FedRAMP or just a bit more headroom to perform their upgrades. It's much easier to perform a patch upgrade than a minor release upgrade. And when we look at the distro, Istio distro, how close it's going to be to the upstream? It is exactly the same identical. We don't really do anything to it. All we do is just make it easier for you to get to the same, the very same bits. Now, with the FIPS build, the difference is that we've built the same Istio code but using the right crypto for FIPS to operate a FedRAMP environment. Istio itself is not altered. It's just how we build it. And we have engaged a third-party lab to verify that we've built the crypto correctly so that when our users do take this into a FedRAMP environment, there's proof that they are operating in compliance, like the software they're deploying, the Istio they're deploying is in compliance with FedRAMP needs. And when we do look at FIPS or FedRAMP, do you see any scope of possibility where there are specific features or additional functionalities that these industries might need, which you might end up offering, which will be something add-on on top of Istio? Yeah, we certainly see that as a possibility. I would say for now, we certainly already baked many of this into our platform offering, which is Tetris Service Express or Service Bridge. So it just comes down to a little bit of how we see people wanting to get on the journey from where they are to their end state. If they are ready for our transformational platforms, they should go with Service Bridge or Service Express. If the intent is to customize and build your own on top of true open-source Istio, Tetris Istio subscription is the way to go. Istio was in news last year also, the whole move to CNCF and graduation. The interesting thing with projects like Istio is that they have been in production even before they get graduation from CNCF. What does graduation actually mean? Or also when you announce general availability of things like, you know, Istio subscription, I want to look at it from the confidence it builds within the user ecosystem, within the ecosystem itself, where you have all the other players because a lot of folks are putting all their eggs in that basket of Istio. It breeds confidence. Wholeheartedly agree. I think your observation is accurate that there are more eggs in the Istio basket now. I mean, one interesting data point, aside from product, is just that we have Tetris Academy, which offers training and certification for people interested in Istio. We've seen a lot of increasing interest for that, to the point where CNCF asked us to donate our Istio certification to them, and we've done so. So this would not have happened, this pool would not have existed if Istio was not becoming more popular. So what we see is that there's definitely this maturation for Istio demand, to the point that there's now officially CNCF sanctioned certification now. We're happy to do it because I believe that is the right thing to do, and we'll continue to play a big role in just training and educating Istio users in the market. In general, how much awareness you are seeing of Service Merge, Istio, where you're like, hey, everybody knows about that. Like, we don't have to go out and tell why you should choose the Lampy Circle in this kernel. So are where you feel that now, different markets are in different phases of adoption and we still have to do a lot of awareness, education, all those drives. What are you seeing there? I do think it's still early for, I think for Istio, it's still a huge amount of opportunity ahead. I think we're past total confusion on what Service Merge at Istio does, but I do think that there are a very large number of use cases. Then there's certainly no template in terms of how to approach these use cases or what sequence you should do them. It's also possible that, there's just too much variety right now. So even though people, I think understand the technology, they understand what the use cases are, there's still a lot of opportunity for folks to figure out what is the right sequencing of use cases and what's the blueprint to actually deliver the value of Service Merge. And that's why I think our dual path exists. We have a strong opinion on how that value should be realized when we build that into the product of Service Express and Service Merge. At the same time, we recognize it's where early enough, so it's not one size fit all. So we're happy to support people who want to tackle the use cases in their own customized way through Tetrade Istio subscription. Do you folks also do anything to kind of get a pulse on the industry, the ecosystem to better understand how either folks are using it or what are the challenges they're facing just to get an understanding of where it's heading or how you folks can actually help them further. So we contribute very actively to projects and the ecosystem and we see the sort of issues people are raising and the kind of problems they're running into. I could be, I don't know the exact, but I think one of the top contributors for Envoy and Istio and it's really through our contributions and sort of monitoring the feedback of our contributions and what's going on in the community that we get a good sense of where people are with adoption and the state of Istio. That's on the open source end. In terms of like our commercial end, we spend a lot of time with big enterprise users, especially in the government and the FinServe sort of central platform teams to understand their roadmap and how they want to take service mesh adoption and what it means. For us, spending time with both the users like the platform team users rank and file architects and developers as well as the senior executives like leaders of lines of business in retail banking say or central IT say EVP of infrastructure. We have frequent engagements with these different folks just to understand how they see business value and what they're doing to actually achieve the value. So the three tier strategy we have in terms of understanding the overall market landscape is community contribution in open source we intend to lead there. We have a ton of engagement with the rank and file users and our enterprise customers and we have frequent touch points with executives at our customers as well. We provide a ton of value enterprise support and the FIPS verification but one thing that will become very apparent is the CVE backcourting we do to help people run STO securely and reliably. So there will be more CVEs emerging in the coming days. The community support is only eight months. We extended to 14 months. That will provide a lot of relief when you have a company like Tetrate sort of offering extended CVE support. People would not have to upgrade us as often in minor versions. Since you talked about support different project communities the discussions are also about the LTS versions or long-term supported version because when you look at enterprises especially when you look at some of these critical technologies they do want more than six or eight more than one year support. They cannot move as fast as some of these communities move. Are you seeing any discussion on that or you feel that no it doesn't make much sense to have LTS kind of version for a project like STO? So we definitely see pain in terms of platform teams or teams keeping up with STL upgrade cycles. Community support is only eight months which is why in Tetrate is your subscription we've extended that support to longer term 14 months. And just to give you some ideas like I think it's very hard for these platform teams which for most companies will never get bigger than single digits teams for them to manage the life cycle, upgrade cycle of somebody that of like an eight months like end of life. They would basically have to be constantly planning for upgrades and this impacts their end user experience. Because remember STO at dinner day is a place for application teams to deploy applications to so that the people who are running STO need to think about that end user experience. So having some long-term support from a company such as Tetrate really provides the stability, the stable experience that teams are running service mesh and STO that really they need. So we see that as an important thing to have for all companies running STO. CubeCon is almost here. Of course you folks will be making a lot of announcement. We cannot talk a lot of, we cannot talk about a lot of things that you folks will be announcing but just give us a glimpse what we should expect from Tetrate at the event. A lot of interesting is happening on the envoy side of the world right now. I think certainly envoy as part of STO we talked about the extended support. I think there's a lot of interesting innovation happening on the envoy gateway side of things. So I think folks who are watching this should check out Tetrate's website announcements that I will be doing with envoy gateway and there will be more interesting things to come at CubeCon. David, thank you so much for taking time out today and of course talk about this new subscription and also where the whole service mesh STO market is heading. Thanks for all those insights and I would love to chat with you again. Thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.


Virtual PEPCOM during virtual CES. I saw a very interesting home security product from a company called Origin Wireless. Dan Biogos, product manager at Origin Wireless promised to get geeky with me about their product and the technology behind it. Welcome to the show, Dan. Hi, Allison. Super happy to be here. All right. So all I've said so far to the audience here is that this has something to do with home security. Why don't you give us your start with your elevator pitch and then let's dig in. Got it. Okay. So Origin Wireless is the parent company of a product we call Hex Home. So Hex is a do-it-yourself home security product with an optional professional monitoring service. And it's unlike anything else today on the market with regards to security. And that's because Hex is a wave-based security system. So instead of using contact sensors and motion sensors that you place in all the corners and nooks and crannies of your home, Hex fills your home with Wi-Fi waves. And we do a little bit more there to figure out what's going on. So that's where we can get into it. But in general, the way it works is the Hex command will analyze how the waves change. Wait, what's a Hex command? Gotcha. Yeah. So here's a Hex command. And for those just listening, what I'm holding is a pod-shaped device, a little bit smaller than a hockey puck with rounded edges. It's white. And this would sit on a countertop or a table. And yeah, again, it's about three and a half, four inches in diameter. Maybe Amazon Echo size would be a good way to describe it. Exactly. Yeah. Okay. We'd like to think so. So the Hex command, do you plug that into your network? Exactly. So this will hook up to your home internet. And the other types of devices in the system are Hex sensors. So these are little wall plug-in devices that have a built-in siren and an LED light ring. So the way the system works is your command and your senses will talk to each other. And they will communicate using just regular Wi-Fi signals and fill your home with Wi-Fi. And the command is the brain of the system. So the command will analyze how the Wi-Fi waves are changing. And in turn, they can let you know when somebody has intruded. So isn't my house already filled with Wi-Fi waves? Yeah, that's right. Probably a lot. So how do you not have interference with other Wi-Fi that's in the room? Yeah. So just like when you add a new IoT device into your home, they will undergo a process called channel selection, where they'll figure out what channel in your Wi-Fi spectrum is best to communicate on. So because Hex uses standard Wi-Fi protocol, all of that kind of channel hopping is built in. And it won't cause any interference on your network. Just like any other IoT device you add, like an Echo or a Sonos speaker, for example. Okay. I guess I never thought of those as sending out Wi-Fi signals the way the command does. But I guess they must be, right, in order to be captured by the router and then sent on to the network. So the command is the name of the Hockey puck thing that connects into your network. And then what's the name for the little ones that go into the wall ports again? Sure. So that's the sense. Hex sense. Okay. So now let's talk about how you know what it is. How is this analyzing? How is the command analyzing the Wi-Fi waves that it gets back from the senses? Sure. So the way it works is we have software on the Hex command that does Wi-Fi analysis. We actually refer to it as wireless AI or wireless artificial intelligence. And the idea is we use what we call AI engines to interpret how the waves change. And this is where I'd like to talk a little bit about origin wireless, the Hex home parent company, and how that ties into things. Oh, okay. Yeah. Sure. So origin is a Wi-Fi sensing startup founded out of University of Maryland research. Our founder is a signal processing researcher. And in 2013, he had this breakthrough discovery where he realized that Wi-Fi waves can be used not only for communication, but for sensing purposes. So usually you use Wi-Fi to stream Netflix, but he actually discovered that by analyzing how the waves change, we can perform a whole bunch of different applications. So over the next few years, him and his research team developed what we call AI engines. So these are specific artificial intelligence engines that we trained to be able to understand what's going on in an environment. So origin has many different engines, but the one that we put onto Hex, we call our motion engine. And what this does is every second, and actually really 30 times per second, it's interpreting how the wave changes, and it's outputting what we call a motion statistic. And that's a 0-100 level of motion that describes how many of the waves are being disturbed and what kind of motion is going on in the home. Well, there's a big piece we sort of skipped here is the problem that this is solving is there's an intruder in your house. So it's going to detect that Sally the burglar is walking through my living room by disturbing those waves that have gone from the command of the sense and back. Exactly. So it's got to be working on the fact that bags of water humans disrupt radio waves, right? Yep. Yeah, that's how we do it. So when a human moves through Wi-Fi, because we're made of water, the signals will refract and bend in certain ways. And that's what we're measuring is those changes. And your the engine must be then have been taught how to tell what dog bags of water and cat bags of water, how they disturb it differently? Yep, exactly. So a pet will have a different kind of signature of movement. And we can recognize that signature and then filter it out. Okay, okay. So what really stood out to me with in the presentation that was done during PEPCOM was the it was actually the little video clip at the beginning that before you go into the room that explained the simplicity of this. I mean, you literally have this puck that's plugged into into your router or into your network and into power, and then these little plugs that go into your outlets. And there's no other stuff. I mean, that's all of it. And it's sensing motion can sense motion inside your home. Exactly. Yeah. So when we were building HEX, we wanted to solve the pain points of quote unquote, traditional security. So traditional security all uses some variation of the same hardware. Those are motion sensors or passive infrared sensors, contact sensors, a hub, a keypad. And it can be painful and difficult to set those up. All tiny things on every single window and door. I've got them everywhere. Got like, 47 of them. Yep.  They can kind of be an eyesore if they're in every corner. A lot of doors, you know, they don't actually work with because of the way the door in the frame is designed. So, you know, right, it's a real headache for the consumer. Yeah.  But I always try to think of normal people who I guess spend, you know, $12,000 paying someone to put up all those little sensors, that kind of thing. Yeah. So with HEX, because it's a super simple do-it-yourself system, you know, it's basically plug and play, right? You plug in the three devices, you connect one to Wi-Fi, you're up and running. So we are skipping all the costs that come with an installer or, you know, all the extra hardware that comes with the system. So how many of these do you need in your home? Sure. So one starter kit comes with a command and two sensors. And that'll cover pretty much the standard home in America. So that's 1,500 square feet. I think the average home size in America is about 2,200 square feet. And you can think of that as kind of a first and second floor. So one HEX system will, you know, cover more than enough for a ground floor where really that's where you want to protect. And that's where you'll detect an intruder. Oh, that's a good point. I mean, you could put another, you could put more sensors upstairs, I suppose. But by that time, you already know that somebody's in your house. By the time they go upstairs, they've already, they by definition will have disturbed the waves downstairs. Yeah, we'll catch them as soon as they enter the door. So it's funny, my brain was going down the path of, well, I would need one of these sensors in every single room because it's got to be sensing the waves in each room. But the waves actually go through the walls, right? Exactly. Yeah. So we have something called nonline of sight sensing. And that's kind of like a research term. But basically, it means we don't need our sensor to be pointing at the thing it's trying to detect. So it will go through walls, you know, it will bend around couches and you can really place these things anywhere. The Wi-Fi signal will penetrate through it all. I mean, you probably wouldn't want to put all three in the same room. That would probably be a little dopey, right? You'd put the command in one room and then the two sensors in diagonal areas of the home, something like that. Yeah, you got it, Allison. That's exactly right. And that's what we recommend users to do is place them about one to two rooms apart, 15 to 30 feet or so. Keep your senses spread out in relation to your command. Okay.  Up front, you said that you're the only company doing anything like this, but there are a couple of router manufacturers who have built in something like this. I know Netgear, I forget what the other vendor was, but I think Netgear has something that uses Wi-Fi waves to sense people in your home. But you mean just a standalone thing that's different like that? Sure. So actually, you may be referring to Linksys. Did I say Netgear? Yeah, Linksys. Sorry. Right. So that was actually our first partner. So we worked with Linksys and we upgraded their routers to basically become sensors. Okay. Okay. That's pretty funny. I'm glad I asked that question because I've been hearing on other shows that people were saying, yeah, but, you know, Linksys already has this, but you guys are the guys that built it into the Linksys routers. That's very cool. Is there another network vendor, that networking company that has it? Yeah. So, yeah, I'll be transparent. One of our competitors is on the platform called Plume. So Plume pods also have, I believe, a motion sensing feature as well. Okay. Okay. I got you. All right. Well, that's good to know. I've heard of Plume, but Linksys is certainly a household word. So if you had to go with somebody, what advantage would there be of using it through your router? It would seem to me that's just adding an extra sense, right? Or is it command also? So the router deployment is a little different because that's for, really, it started with mesh routers. So we put our routers on mesh Wi-Fi devices, and then you kind of had a command as the router that's connected to really your internet with an ethernet cable, and then the other two mesh devices are your sensors. So you can see the same sort of architecture is forming there where you've got a command and sensors. And in the future, what you'll see is we can put our technology onto any standalone home router, not even a mesh system. And what we can do is use IoT devices, like EchoDots and Wi-Fi light bulbs. I got some examples here. So like a Phillips Wi-Fi light bulb that connects to your home router, we could use this as the same thing as a sense. So if you're kind of getting the idea, the router becomes, I got all these devices, but your home router will become your command and your light bulbs or anything else in your home will become your sensors. Oh man, I could really go nuts because I've got even more of those than I do of the little sensors on my windows. IoT stuff is littered everywhere. You would be totally covered, I'm sure. Very interesting, but this is such a, we should back away from the nerdy approach that most of my audience probably would do, but for normal people, if they want to have a simple security system without a bunch of faffing about with all these other devices, just putting in a command in two senses, they would have motion detection and know if somebody was in their home. Now you mentioned an LED and a siren. So you set a trigger for how sensitive it'll be for that, or how do you do that? Sure. So the LED on the senses is kind of like a nightlight feature. So that will light up if you're walking near a sense device. So it's kind of great for if you have a sense in your hallway and you're getting up in the middle of the night, it'll light up according to your motion. And then the siren will go off whenever there is a motion event. So that's a time when there's significant motion enough that we can conclude there is an intruder in your home. So your sensitivity level will change what we dictate is a motion event. So the higher your sensitivity, the more likely the emotion will be detected. Okay. So I'm assuming there's an app. Is there anything we need to know about the app? Or is it pretty much the obvious stuff? Set sensitivity, time of day? Is there geofencing? What kind of things do you have in the app? Sure. So the app has three system modes. So that's home, away, and vigilant. Home mode is pretty straightforward. You'll have that mode on when you and your family are safe and sound. Away mode is for when you want to lock your house down. So that will trigger your alarms if somebody intrudes. That's also pretty standard in security. Now, vigilant mode is unique to hex. And we're really excited for this feature because it allows you to keep an eye on things without triggering your siren. So if you just want to know that your kid's got home from school and it's 3pm or so, you can just get that notification without triggering a siren. And then another use case that some of our users have expressed interest in is using hex for the independent living kind of space or the older adult monitoring. So knowing that mom or dad is kind of safe in their home, moving from the living room to the kitchen, kind of going through their daily routines, we can have vigilant mode so that you can get alerts going, but you don't need to trigger an alarm or anything. That's a really interesting one. I'm very interested in the independent living ideas because I know a lot of companies are trying to look at that problem where how do you give the people who care deeply about those who need to be helped, the security and knowledge that their family member or friend is okay without it being creepy. Every solution I've seen is like, oh, that would totally work and no one would let them put that in their house. I know, let's put a camera in the bathroom, make sure they didn't fall. None of those ideas work. So I keep thinking of this being coupled with a camera. To me, if I saw motion, if I got motion detection from my sense or from my hex home, I would want to then see what it is. That would be my first instinct. Is that something you see coupling together? Or I mean, is that just what the user would have to choose to do? Sure. So you're one step ahead of us right now. That's absolutely something on our roadmap. The triggering of a camera kind of waking up when we detect motion. So one of the issues with those motion sensing cameras that use computer vision is they can be a little bit delayed. So you end up just kind of catching the tail end of somebody rushing by. Never once have I caught my mail carrier. I don't know how fast she is, but I've never seen her on my Ring Video Doorbell, not once in like three years. Right. Or if you do, it's just like them kind of running out the door at the very end of the steps or something. So we were looking to solve that problem because our motion detection will cover the whole home. So as soon as they enter the home, then we can wake the camera up and we'll get them as soon as they come into the picture instead of having all of that time that it takes for the camera to kind of calculate what it's seeing and then take a snapshot. Yeah, that's a good point. So they break in my back window or my back sliding glass door, for example, then they're in the house. There's time because they're in the house as you're waking those things up. That's interesting. Well, this is a really cool product. What's your pricing and delivery on this? Sure. So a hex home starter kit with a command in two senses will cost $179.99. And if you want to add an additional sense for a little more coverage, you can get that for $40. That's not bad. And are you shipping yet? So we're shipping in the summertime frame. So we're really looking forward to that. And that'll come with an optional professional monitoring service as well. Okay. Yeah, I saw that you were working on that. That's obviously something for people who definitely don't have their house covered in cameras or want to make sure there's some sort of alarm that triggers that. Well, this is very cool. If people want to learn more and look at the products, where would they go? Sure. So they can go to myhexhome.com where they'll have a complete overview of the product and they can get on a wait list. We'll also be launching a Kickstarter campaign, which they can be looking out for soon. And then if they want to learn more about the underlying technology in some of the other use cases, they can go to our parent company website, originwirelessai.com. If you Google origin wireless will come up for sure. Okay, for the underlying technology. Got it. Got it. Well, this has been very cool. Thank you so much for taking your time today, Dan. I really appreciate talking to you. I'm excited about this product. This is pretty interesting. I think this is an awesome idea. Thanks so much for having us on. I'm really excited too. It's been a pleasure.

What effect, if any, does a vegetarian or plant-based diet have on an athletic performance? Watch the video to find out. Recently, the remains of dozens of Roman gladiators were discovered in a mass grave. The clout of their identities were the rather distinct types of mortal injuries they found, like being speared in the head with a trident. Using just their skeletons, they were able to reconstruct the death blows, show just how buff they really were, and even try to reconstruct their diet of barley and beans. You can look at carbon isotopes and see what kind of plants they ate. Nitrogen isotopes reflect any intake of animal protein, and you can look at the sulfur in their bones and the amount of strontium, leading commentators to submit that the best athletes in ancient Rome ate largely plant-based diets. Then there were the legionnaires, the Roman army troopers, famed for their abilities, also eating a similar kind of diet, suggesting the best fighters in the ancient world were essentially vegetarian. So if the so-called perfect fighting machines, the great sports heroes of the day, were eating mostly grains and beans, should that tell us anything about sports nutrition and the preferred diets of elite athletes? Well, most of the Greeks and Romans were basically vegetarian and centering their diets around grains, fruit, vegetables, and beans, so maybe the gladiators diets weren't that remarkable. Plato, for example, pushed plants, preferring plant foods for their health and efficiency. So yes, the Roman gladiators were known as the barley men, but is that because barley gives you strength and stamina, or was that just the basic food that people ate at the time, not necessarily for performance, but because it was just so cheap? Well, if you look at the modern Spartans, the Tarhumar Indians, the ones that run races where they kick a ball for 75 miles just for the fun of it, running all day, all night, and all day maybe 150 miles of their feeling in the mood, what do you get if you win? A special popularity with the ladies, although how much of a reward that would actually prove to be for a man that had just been running for two days straight is questionable, though maybe their endurance extends to other dimensions. Probably not since the days of the ancient Spartans, as a people achieved such a high state of extreme physical conditioning, and what did they eat? The same kind of 75 to 80% starch diet based on beans, corns, and squash. And they had the cholesterol levels to prove it. Total cholesterol levels down at essentially in heart attack proof 136, and it's not just some special genetics they have, you feed them enough egg yolks and their cholesterol creeps right up. Modern-day Olympian runners eat the same stuff. What are they eating over there in Kenya? A 99% vegetarian diet centered mostly around various starches. But as in all these cases, is there remarkable physical prowess because of their diets, or in spite of their diets, or have nothing to do with their diets? You don't know until you put it to the test. In spite of well-documented health benefits for more plant-based diets, less is known regarding the effects of these diets on athletic performance. So they compared elite vegetarian and omnivore endurance athletes for aerobic fitness and strength, so comparing oxygen utilization on the treadmill and quad strength with leg extensions, and the vegetarians beat out their omnivore counterparts for cardiorespiratory fitness, but their strength didn't differ, suggesting in the very least that vegetarian diets don't compromise athletic performance. But this was a cross-sectional study. Maybe the veg athletes were just fitter because they trained harder? Like in the National Runners Health Study, looking at thousands of runners, vegetarian runners were recorded running significantly more on a weekly basis. So maybe that explains their superior fitness, though maybe their superior fitness explains their greater distances. Other cross-sectional studies have found no differences in physical fitness between vegetarian and non-vegetarian athletes, or even worse, performance, as in this study of vegetarian athletes in India. Of course, there could be socioeconomic or other confounding factors. That's why we need interventional studies to put different diets to the test and then compare physical performance, which we'll explore next. In 1896, the aptly named James Parsley evidently led a successful vegetarian cycling club to victory, their competitors evidently having to eat crow with their beef. Evidently, some Belgian put it to the test in 1904, with those eating more plant-based, supposedly lifting some weight, like 80% more times, but I couldn't find that primary source in English. This I could find, though a famous series of experiments at Yale published more than a century ago on the influence of flesh eating on endurance. 49 people were compared, regular athletes, mostly Yale students, vegetarian athletes, and then just sedentary vegetarians. The experiment furnished a severe test of the claims of those flesh abstainers. Much to the researcher's surprise, the results seem to vindicate the vegetarians, suggesting that not eating meat leads to far greater endurance compared to those accustomed to the ordinary American diet. Check it out. The first endurance test was how many minutes straight you could hold out your arms horizontally, flesh eaters versus flesh abstainers. The regular Yale athletes were able to keep their hands out for about 10 minutes on average. It's harder than it sounds. Give it a try. Okay, but those eating vegetarian did like five times better. The meat eater maximum was only half that of the vegetarian average. Only two meat eaters even hit 15 minutes, whereas more than two-thirds of the meat avoiders did. None of the regular diet folks hit a half an hour, whereas nearly half of the healthier eaters did, including nine that exceeded an hour, four that exceeded two hours, and one guy going for more than three hours. How many deep knee bends can you do? One athlete could do more than 1,000, averaging 383, but they got creamed even by the sedentary plant eaters. That's the crazy thing. Even the sedentary abstainers surpassed the exercising flesh eaters. The sedentary abstainers were in most cases physicians who sat on their butts all day. I want a doctor that can do 1,000 deep knee bends. And then in terms of recovery, all those deep knee bends left everyone sore, but more so among those eating meat. Among the vegetarians of two that did like 2,000 knee bends, one went straight off to the track to run, and another went on to their nursing duties. On the other hand, among the meat eaters, one guy reached 254, went down once more, and couldn't get back up, had to be carried away, and was incapacitated for days. Another impaired for weeks after fainting. It may be inferred without reasonable doubt, concluded the once skeptical Yale researcher that the meat eating group of athletes was very far inferior in endurance to the vegetarians, even the sedentary ones. What could account for this remarkable difference? Some claimed that flesh foods contained some kind of fatigue poisons, but one German researcher who detailed his own experiments with athletes offered a more prosaic answer. In his book on what looks like physiological studies of uber-driving vegetarians, I told you I only know English, he conjectured that the apparent vegetarian superiority was just due to their tremendous determination to prove their point and spread their propaganda. So they just make a greater effort in any contest than do their meat eating rivals. The Yale researchers were worried about this, so special pains were taken to stimulate the flesh eaters to the utmost, appealing to their college pride. Don't let those lousy vegetarians beat the Yale spirit. The experiments made it into the New York Times. Yale's flesh eating athletes, sounds like a zombie movie, beaten in severe endurance tests. Yale professor believes that he has shown definitely the inferiority and strength and endurance tests of meat eaters compared to those who do not eat meat. Some of Yale's most successful athletes took part in the strength test, and Professor Fischer declares they were obliged to admit their inferiority. How has the truth of this result been so long obscured? One reason Professor Fischer suggested is that vegetarians are their own worst enemy. In their fanaticism, they jump from the premise that meat eating is wrong, often based on scripture or some kind of dogma, and jump from that to meat eating is unhealthy. That's not how science works, and such logical leaps gets them dismissed as zealots and prevents any genuine scientific investigation. Lots of science even back then was pointing a distinct trend towards more plant-based eating, and yet the word vegetarian even 110 years ago had such a bad preachy rap that many were loathe to concede the science in its favor. The proper scientific attitude is to study the question of meat eating in precisely the same manner as one would study the question of anything else.


Well, it's been a picture perfect start for the Minji Boy soccer team 6-1. The only loss coming to 5th ranked team in Class 2A Duluth East, and oh yeah, they've outscored their opponents 43-4, including four shutouts and two games of 10-plus goals. Well, they're back at home tonight looking for win number 7 against Crookson, and just a couple minutes in doesn't take long for the Jacks. Linnaeus Whiting from Aiden Hellwig, his 15th of the season, and just minutes later, this time Hellwig tasted himself. Beats to the keeper, far post, just like that. Two nil, but Minji, Crookson back to back goals to tie it up, but Silas has the answers. Beautiful placement there with the left foot for the goal, then right before half his brother Luke to Silas. Somehow gets it off the foot to find some leather for two lumberjacks. They would add a couple more in the second half. We're going to win this 6-3 for their 7th win of the season.
